The prophetic spirit is to be under the prophets' control, for God is a God not of disorder but of peace. As in all the churches of God's holy people, 1 Corinthians 14:32-33 (NJB)

So Jesus said to them, “Children, you don’t have any fish, do you?” They replied, “No.” He told them, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they threw the net, and were not able to pull it in because of the large number of fish. John 21:5-6 (NET)

For I know what I have planned for you,’ says the LORD. ‘I have plans to prosper you, not to harm you. I have plans to give you a future filled with hope. When you call out to me and come to me in prayer, I will hear your prayers. When you seek me in prayer and worship, you will find me available to you. If you seek me with all your heart and soul, I will make myself available to you,’ says the LORD. ‘Then I will reverse your plight and will regather you from all the nations and all the places where I have exiled you,’ says the LORD. ‘I will bring you back to the place from which I exiled you.’   Jeremiah 29:11-14 (NET)

Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy. For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit. On the other hand, the one who prophesies speaks to people for their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation. The one who speaks in a tongue builds up himself, but the one who prophesies builds up the church. Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but even more to prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be built up. 1 Corinthians 14:1-5 (ESV)

This word is for a lady named Josephine. Do not be ashamed of your name.  The origin of this name is Hebrew , meaning “Yahweh will add another”. Do not downplay your significance.   You have been added into the family. You were chosen and selected. There are unique giftings within you; A few of which you are aware, and two others which are maturing, yet you seem oblivious.   Awaken and speak forth. We need you you. Step into the destiny aligned for you.

For God does speak--now one way, now another-- though man may not perceive it. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men as they slumber in their beds, he may speak in their ears and terrify them with warnings, to turn man from wrongdoing and keep him from pride, to preserve his soul from the pit, his life from perishing by the sword. Job 33:14-18 (NIV)

THE SONS of the prophets said to Elisha, Look now, the place where we live before you is too small for us. Let us go to the Jordan, and each man get there a [house] beam; and let us make us a place there where we may dwell. And he answered, Go. One said, Be pleased to go with your servants. He answered, I will go. 2 Kings 6:1-3 (AMP)

It was there at Gilgal that Joshua piled up the twelve stones taken from the Jordan River. Then Joshua said to the Israelites, “In the future your children will ask, ‘What do these stones mean?’ Then you can tell them, ‘This is where the Israelites crossed the Jordan on dry ground.’ For the LORD your God dried up the river right before your eyes, and he kept it dry until you were all across, just as he did at the Red Sea when he dried it up until we had all crossed over. He did this so all the nations of the earth might know that the LORD’s hand is powerful, and so you might fear the LORD your God forever.” Joshua 4:20-24 (NLT) I have brought you out of the bondages that held you and the lies which had entangled you. I have rescued you and escorted you into the way of light. Look back at the signs I have given to you in the past. Those resolutions point to my caring for you in the past. They are markers of my steadfast love. Look back to them and be assured. Look back...

You, however, the LORD has selected and brought from Egypt, that iron-smelting furnace, to be his special people as you are today. Deuteronomy 4:20 (NET)

I have set you as a seer among my great people, that you may know and understand their ways. Jeremiah 6:27 (George Lamsa’s translations from the Aramaic of the Pershitta)

We must pay more careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away. For if the message spoken by angels was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment, how shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation? This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him.   God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will. Hebrews 2:1-4 (NIV) For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham's descendants. Hebrews 2:16 (NIV)  

As I was driving in my car early morning Wednesday (02/16) I heard the LORD say, “Watch what I shall show you.” It was not long after that I looked along the roadside, and jogging through the brush was a brown/grey wolf.

But the LORD said to him, "Peace! Do not be afraid. You are not going to die."  So Gideon built an altar to the LORD there and called it The LORD is Peace. To this day it stands in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.   Judges 6:23-24 (NIV)

The angel of God said to Gideon, “Put the meat and the bread without yeast on that rock over there. Then pour the broth on them.“ And Gideon did as he was told. The angel of the LORD touched the meat and the bread with the end of the stick that was in his hand. Then fire jumped up from the rock and completely burned up the meat and the bread! And the angel of the LORD disappeared! Then Gideon understood he had been talking to the angel of the LORD. So Gideon cried out, “Lord GOD! I have seen the angel of the LORD face to face!“ But the LORD said to Gideon, “Calm down! Don’t be afraid! You will not die!“ So Gideon built an altar there to worship the LORD and named it The LORD Is Peace. It still stands at Ophrah, where the Abiezrites live. Judges 6:20-24 (NCV)

In me there is no darkness. The light of life fills all void, driving out darkness. It is purifying and thorough.   You are in me and I in you. There is no darkness. Where I dwell there is peace and direction. There is no need to hide.   You have not escaped my thoughts. Allow me in. Allow me to fill those deep needs you are attempting to hide. Know my heart and the love that is yours.   In me there is no darkness. You are my great light for others.

So at last Moses finished the work. Then the cloud covered the Tabernacle, and the glory of the LORD filled the Tabernacle. Moses could no longer enter the Tabernacle because the cloud had settled down over it, and the glory of the LORD filled the Tabernacle. Now whenever the cloud lifted from the Tabernacle, the people of Israel would set out on their journey, following it. But if the cloud did not rise, they remained where they were until it lifted. The cloud of the LORD hovered over the Tabernacle during the day, and at night fire glowed inside the cloud so the whole family of Israel could see it. This continued throughout all their journeys. Exodus 40:33b-38 (NLT)

So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image. 2 Corinthians 3:18 (NLT)

About Zion I will not be silent, about Jerusalem I shall not rest until saving justice dawns for her like a bright light and her salvation like a blazing torch. The nations will then see your saving justice, and all kings your glory, and you will be called a new name which Yahweh's mouth will reveal. You will be a crown of splendour in Yahweh's hand, a princely diadem in the hand of your God. Isaiah 62:1-3 (NJB)

When the Israelites saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?” because they did not know what it was. Moses said to them, “It is the bread that the LORD has given you for food.  Exodus 16:15 (NET) I will provide. Walk with me and I will show you the way to go. Do not be ignorant, but be filled. Eat of the bread of life. Be wise in me, filled with the wisdom from above. Holy Spirit will guide you. He will grant insight as to what I am doing. Let Discernment guide you in all decisions and Wisdom be your constant companion. Do not scoff at what you don't understand at this moment. I have those who have gone ahead of you. Take in gratitude what I offer. Share with others so they too may have their joy filled. I am the bread provided for all. When he had taken his place at the table with them, he took the bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. At this point their eyes were opened and they recognized him. Then he vanished out of their sight. Luke 24:30-31...

Then he said, ‘In truth I tell you, unless you change and become like little children you will never enter the kingdom of Heaven. Matthew 18:3 (NJB)

He said, “You have been given the opportunity to know the secrets of the kingdom of God, but for others they are in parables, so that although they see they may not see, and although they hear they may not understand. Luke 8:10 (NET) What are you doing with your opportunities? Don’t give up. Press God for answers. He’s waiting to answer those who show real interest.

He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They replied, “Seven.” Then he directed the crowd to sit down on the ground. After he took the seven loaves and gave thanks, he broke them and began giving them to the disciples to serve. So they served the crowd. They also had a few small fish. After giving thanks for these, he told them to serve these as well. Everyone ate and was satisfied, and they picked up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full. There were about four thousand who ate. Then he dismissed them. Immediately he got into a boat with his disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha. Mark 8:5-10 (NET)   Sit down with me and eat. Chew upon what I have given you; savior what I am about to give you. Do not be restless or discontent.

On the morning of the third day there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast, so that all the people who were in the camp trembled. Then Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God; and they took their stand at the foot of the mountain. And Mount Sinai was wrapped in smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire; and the smoke of it went up like the smoke of a kiln, and the whole mountain quaked greatly. And as the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him in thunder. And the LORD came down upon Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain; and the LORD called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.  Exodus 19:16-20 (RSV)   I have placed you here in this lifetime. Do not be scared. Look for me and you will find me. Rely upon me for your answers. I have placed you here in this lifetime. Do not be scared. Look for me and you will find me. R...

T hen Moses led Israel onward from the Red Sea, and they went into the wilderness of Shur; they went three days in the wilderness and found no water. When they came to Marah, they could not drink the water of Marah because it was bitter; therefore it was named Marah. And the people murmured against Moses, saying, "What shall we drink?" And he cried to the LORD; and the LORD showed him a tree, and he threw it into the water, and the water became sweet. There the LORD made for them a statute and an ordinance and there he proved them, Exodus 15:22-25 (RSV) There are times we may find ourselves in a desert, being tested. Days without water is likely to make me grumpy, wondering if I could have a drink to quench my discomfort. Moses set us an example. He was learning to depend upon God and he called to him. He was shown a tree, a sign pointing forward. He threw that tree into the water, just as the Christ was set amidst the people. If that bitterness can be revers...

Every good endowment and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures. James 1:17-18 (RSV)
