The sheep that are My own hear and are listening to My voice; and I know them, and they follow Me. John 10:27 (AMP) I'm no different from you in that I too want to hear God. I ask to hear him and to hear him clearly. I recently awoke after a dream clearly hearing, “Longevity is important”. I recognized it was God speaking. I repeated the phrase a few times, trying to make sense of it and returned to sleep. We're familiar with the passages in John 10:27 about hearing his voice, but amplified shares a bit more of the picture. We too are to be listening to his voice and following him. It is not enough just to hear God. That is but the initial important step in the process. Hebrews 12:1 tells us to “THEREFORE THEN, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who have borne testimony to the Truth], let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance (unnecessary weight) and that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to and entangles us, and let us r

Lift up your heads, oh my people. Lift up your face unto me so that you may see my eyes.  My light is ever-strong.  It pierces the darkness and dispels the fog of sin about you. Place your trust in me. Lift up your eyes to those about you. They are in need of what I have planted within you.  I have placed my compassion in you; stretch forth your hands and bring healing.  Reach out to comfort those hurting and afflicted. Lift your face unto me that redemption may flow.

Again, however, pay very careful attention, lest you forget the things you have seen and disregard them for the rest of your life; instead teach them to your children and grandchildren. You stood before the Lord your God at Horeb and he said to me, “Assemble the people before me so that I can tell them my commands. Then they will learn to revere me all the days they live in the land, and they will instruct their children.” You approached and stood at the foot of the mountain, a mountain ablaze to the sky above it and yet dark with a thick cloud. Then the Lord spoke to you from the middle of the fire; you heard speech but you could not see anything — only a voice was heard. And he revealed to you the covenant he has commanded you to keep, the ten commandments, writing them on two stone tablets. Moreover, at that same time the Lord commanded me to teach you statutes and ordinances for you to keep in the land which you are about to enter and possess.  Deuteronomy 4:9-1

But the wise will shine like the brightness of the heavenly expanse. And those bringing many to righteousness will be like the stars forever and ever. “But you, Daniel, close up these words and seal the book until the time of the end. Many will dash about, and knowledge will increase.” I, Daniel, watched as two others stood there, one on each side of the river. One said to the man clothed in linen who was above the waters of the river, “When will the end of these wondrous events occur?” Then I heard the man clothed in linen who was over the waters of the river as he raised both his right and left hands to the sky and made an oath by the one who lives forever: “It is for a time, times, and half a time. Then, when the power of the one who shatters the holy people has been exhausted, all these things will be finished.” Daniel 12:3-7 (NET)

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how we should pray, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with inexpressible groanings. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes on behalf of the saints according to God’s will. Romans 8:26-27 (NET)

You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill cannot be hidden. People do not light a lamp and put it under a basket but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before people, so that they can see your good deeds and give honor to your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16 (NET)

For the creation eagerly waits for the revelation of the sons of God. Romans 8:19 (NET)

Commit your future to the Lord! Trust in him, and he will act on your behalf.  He will vindicate you in broad daylight, and publicly defend your just cause. Wait patiently for the Lord! Wait confidently for him! Do not fret over the apparent success of a sinner, a man who carries out wicked schemes!  Psalm 37:5-7 (NET)

For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:26 (NASB77) For all who are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery leading again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself bears witness to our spirit that we are God’s children. And if children, then heirs (namely, heirs of God and also fellow heirs with Christ) — if indeed we suffer with him so we may also be glorified with him. Romans 8:14-17 (NET)

You provided bread from heaven for them in their time of hunger, and you brought forth water from the rock for them in their time of thirst. You told them to enter in order to possess the land that you had sworn to give them.  Nehemiah 9:15 (NET)   Enter into my gated community. I have prepared a place for you. Come into my safety and jurisdiction. Get up and follow me. Keep pace where I am going. The pathway I have created is secure. Yes, awaken. Stand up and declare what you now to be truth. Put an end to the lies which are trying to deceive you. Stamp on the head of my enemy. In my way is life. Separate yourself from the deceptions of the past. cut asunder the lay lines of the enemy. Shatter the altars of the false gods of the land. I am bringing fresh water. There will be pools and lakes bathing, where generational iniquity can be washed away.  I will be your light as you walk into the dark places. Evil will flee when you walk as I direct you. Lay claim to what I say is t

Depend on the Lord; trust him, and he will take care of you. Then your goodness will shine like the sun, and your fairness like the noonday sun. (NCV)

Look into my face. Let there be no shame in your life. Call to me and I will wash you. For the sake of my son I will judge you clean and righteousness. You have the eyes of your father. I am forever drawing you to my ways. Discover more of me; of who I am and what I am doing. You are the apple of my eye. Allow me to give you wise counsel and protection. My peace is available as you are dependent upon me. Strengthen yourself, exercise my ways in your life. I am ever with you.

Jesus replied, I am the Bread of Life. He who comes to Me will never be hungry, and he who believes in and cleaves to and trusts in and relies on Me will never thirst any more (at any time).   John 6:35 (AMP)

I was recently at the early service of a local church. The pastor had a word of knowledge and called three specific groups of people forward for healing. The same time I saw the people going forward I was shown swirling activity from a hole in the ground. The call to prayer had brought forth action from those of the evil one. These being were sent out to cause confusion for those receiving prayer. I could see their swirling commotion and the heads to cause a distraction. Next though I saw like a slow succession of lamp posts coming ablaze within those receiving prayer. Some were brightly lit, some barley burning and other shed no light. Behind this all I could see a large heavenly spiritual over sear. He was very large. I'm guess at least 20 feet tall. He stood quietly watching over those giving and receiving prayer. He was arrayed in golden armour and had a blue sash across his torso from the shoulders to around his waist. As I look at his face, his eyes were deep with compass

Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever.   Daniel 12:3 (NKJV)

He answered, "The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world and the good seed are the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the people of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. As the weeds are collected and burned with fire, so it will be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather from his kingdom everything that causes sin as well as all lawbreakers. They will throw them into the fiery furnace , where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father . The one who has ears, listen! Matthew 13:37-43 (NET)

Look, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing will hurt you. Luke 10:19 (NET) Now, take action.

Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.  Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:3-4 (NIV) I am your merciful father. I take much pleasure in growing my children.  Stop squirreling nervously about in your self-determination.  Release the self-doubt and rely on me. Turn the radio off that I my spirit may teach you.  I will liberally pour forth into you what is needed. I will visit with you in the twilight. I have invested within you that which will multiple in my kingdom. When you sleep and arise I will be there. Look for me with expectancy for I am your father, never ending in my mercy towards you.

"This is what the Lord Almighty says: 'In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land. I will shake all nations, and the desired of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,' says the Lord Almighty. 'The silver is mine and the gold is mine,' declares the Lord Almighty. 'The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,' says the Lord Almighty. 'And in this place I will grant peace,' declares the Lord Almighty." Haggai 2:6-9 (NIV)

Blessed are they whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the Lord. Blessed are they who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart. (NIV)

You are mine. As my spiritual offspring my DNA inhabits you. I have created you in my image. Be filled, the mind of Christ, my son, is available to you.  He is in me as you maybe in Him. We are one mind. Allow me to overflow through you. I am bringing more winds, so learn to shake free from what binds you to the earth. Loosen you grip and allow me to carry you. Ride the winds far above he turmoil and bathe in my peace. Radiate my glory. Free yourself from the limitation of the past and what you think the future is.  Follow me and allow me to guide you. But the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.  Habakkuk 2:14 (NRSV)

Do not be discouraged, but listen for me and to me; I am speaking to you.  Continue to seek my name and my ways and you will find a blessing. Lift up your head. You carry no shame. The blood of my son has taken care of that. Drink fully of me. Continue to eat the word set forth before you. I have empowered you with my Spirit. I have declared you more than a conqueror.  Stretch forth you hands in blessing of those around you. No longer allow anger to live within.

Moreover the light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be sevenfold, like the light of seven days, on the day when the Lord binds up the injuries of his people, and heals the wounds inflicted by his blow. Isaiah 30:26 (NRSV)
