The LORD turned to him and said, "You will rescue Israel from Midian with the strength you have. I am sending you."  Judges 6:14 (GW) I am sending you. Wherever you set your feet I will be. As you walk from your car to work or around your neighbor. As you shop for groceries or are walking about the mall I am with you. Yes, I am sending you. You are the beacon of hope that many are searching. My light and life are within you in abundance. I am sending you to share me. Ask me and I will tell you to whom to speak. There are those that need a word of encouragement.  Many need a simple prayer for healing the situation as they see it. Do not be overwhelmed for I am the one yet still in charge. I am sending you to those who are in a time of personal darkness. I will identify them if you are willing to remove the veil and let my light to shine. I am sending you. Are you willing to respond?

Now as they were going along the road, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “Look, there is water! What is to stop me from being baptized?” So he ordered the chariot to stop, and both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and Philip baptized him. Now when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him any more, but went on his way rejoicing. Philip, however, found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through the area, he proclaimed the good news to all the towns until he came to Caesarea.  Acts 8:36-40 (NET)

Now Mount Sinai was completely covered with smoke because the LORD had descended on it in fire, and its smoke went up like the smoke of a great furnace, and the whole mountain shook violently. Exodus 19:18 (NET) I am awakening my people to recognize me. Rivers of living water will wash over you, releasing what is needed. Waters will overflow their banks. New channels are created as I approach. You must awaken now. My spirit is moving across the face of the deep. It is blowing away the chaff. There is a ripping away of the dry dead branches. That which is not built upon my ways and with my material will be removed, broke off. Do not find what you value cast into the fire. For it will be lost. Suddenly there was a severe earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descending from heaven came and rolled away the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. Matthew 28:2-3 (NET) I am breaking up the fallow ground, preparing for the harve

Like an eagle that stirs up its nest, that hovers over its young, so the LORD spread out his wings and took him, he lifted him up on his pinions. Deuteronomy 32:11 (NET)

Come along with me. Experience the freedom I offer. Follow me and learn to see with new eyes and a renewed heart. I will show you many things which are in store. I will help you experience first-hand the love He has for you. He sees you as precious. Allow me show you the living word, so you might drink deeply of the living water and eat freely at the table set before you. I will take you into the heavenly places of worship. Come along with me high above the earthly realm.  The things of your past will fall away and you will arise renewed upon my wings. The wind blows wherever it will, and you hear the sound it makes, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit." John 3:8 (NET)

Yes, I will go further: because of the supreme advantage of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, I count everything else as loss. For him I have accepted the loss of all other things, and look on them all as filth if only I can gain Christ and be given a place in him, with the uprightness I have gained not from the Law, but through faith in Christ, an uprightness from God, based on faith, that I may come to know him and the power of his resurrection, and partake of his sufferings by being molded to the pattern of his death, striving towards the goal of resurrection from the dead. Not that I have secured it already, nor yet reached my goal, but I am still pursuing it in the attempt to take hold of the prize for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Philippians 3:8-12 (NJB)

For you I was beaten and crucified. My body was torn and blood-spattered, For you I watched as my son was brutally attacked and raised upon the cross. For you I died and was buried. For you he was hidden away for three days, as was always our plan. Yes, and for you I was raised anew in a resurrected body. He was raised from the dead after fulfilling the requirements of my law. He carried the full weight of sin and willingly suffered the consequences so you might have life. Yes, for you there is now life when all else may seem dead. No more penalty for you who accept the new life. For you my Holy Spirit has been released and fulfilling is available. You are now partakers of my table and all I have is available to you. For you is the opportunity to sit with him in the heavenly places. This day, this time and hour are for you. I placed you here now, so others might know me through what I shall do through you. He is not here, for he has risen, as he said he would. Mat

While Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside by themselves, and said to them on the way, "See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death; then they will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified; and on the third day he will be raised." Matthew 20:17-19 (NRSV)
