I say to you, come out. Where I am, you too can be. Step into the glory of my presence. Step past the self-imposed limitations. You have my favor. Reach out to where I am dwelling. I have no limit. Come out and embrace what I have for you. This is what the LORD says: “At the time I decide to show my favor, I will respond to you;  in the day of deliverance I will help you; I will protect you and make you a covenant mediator for people, to rebuild the land and to reassign the desolate property.  You will say to the prisoners, ‘Come out,’ and to those who are in dark  dungeons, ‘Emerge.’ They will graze beside the roads; on all the slopes they will find pasture. Isaiah 49:8-9 (NET)

Not that I have already attained this — that is, I have not already been perfected — but I strive to lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus also laid hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself to have attained this. Instead I am single-minded: Forgetting the things that are behind and reaching out for the things that are ahead, with this goal in mind, I strive toward the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:12-14 (NET)

When Elijah heard it, he covered his face with his robe and went out and stood at the entrance to the cave. All of a sudden a voice asked him, “Why are you here, Elijah?”  1 Kings 19:13 (NET) Don't be obstinate or make things complicated. It remains simple. Change your direction and seek me. Come to me in prayer and I will show myself. Silence your mind and your attitude. It's time to bow your ways before me. Why are you here? Can you not hear me drawing you? I have not changed my mind. My plans for you remain. Be patient so I can complete the process of perfecting you. My son learned obedience, and so can you. Step into the doorway of the future: Draw nearer to me.

The LORD has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all. Bless the LORD, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his word, obeying the voice of his word! Bless the LORD, all his hosts, his ministers, who do his will! Bless the LORD, all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless the LORD, O my soul! Psalm 103:19-22 (ESV)

Now is the time to ask for more of me. It is the time to devour my Word. Now is the time to step out; to step forward into my wholeness. Do not be satisfied with a small portion. There are things which I wish I could show you; ways which I will manifest. There are items in your life which need to change; A clouded vision of me and your life through me. You need more of me, an abundance of light and life that those about you can recognize. It is time to move from beneath your own evaluation. Trust in my word; therein is life.  I am the light.  It is time to move in the fullness of healing and salvation. Do not allow other to die without knowing me and my love for them. Move out from beneath your self-limitations. Ask for more, more of me.

Yet to us God has unveiled and revealed them by and through His Spirit, for the [Holy] Spirit searches diligently, exploring and examining everything, even sounding the profound and bottomless things of God [the divine counsels and things hidden and beyond man's scrutiny]. For what person perceives (knows and understands) what passes through a man's thoughts except the man's own spirit within him? Just so no one discerns (comes to know and comprehend) the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 1 Corinthians 2:10-11 (AMP)

For if any person thinks himself to be somebody [too important to condescend to shoulder another's load] when he is nobody [of superiority except in his own estimation], he deceives and deludes and cheats himself. But let every person carefully scrutinize and examine and test his own conduct and his own work. He can then have the personal satisfaction and joy of doing something commendable [in itself alone] without [resorting to] boastful comparison with his neighbor.   Galatians 6:3-4 (AMP)

[Then God said] If they will not believe you or heed the voice or the testimony of the first sign, they may believe the voice or the witness of the second sign. Exodus 4:8 (AMP)

Come near to me and listen to this: I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it happened, I was there. And now the Lord God has sent His Spirit in and with me. Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am the Lord your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you in the way that you should go. Isaiah 48:16-17 (AMP )

You have heard [these things foretold], now you see this fulfillment. And will you not bear witness to it? I show you specified new things from this time forth, even hidden things [kept in reserve] which you have not known. They are created now [called into being by the prophetic word], and not long ago; and before today you have never heard of them, lest you should say, Behold, I knew them!   Isaiah 48:6-7 (AMP)

Now an expert in religious law stood up to test Jesus, saying, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” He said to him, “What is written in the law? How do you understand it?” The expert answered, “ Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind , and love your neighbor as yourself .” Jesus said to him, “You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live.”  Luke 10:25-28 (NET)

Awaken. I am yet with you. Seek me, that you may find me.   There are sons and daughters who feel distant and defeated. You have allowed yourselves to feel isolated. You no longer experience me as you have in the past. Do not give up, but awaken yourself. I never change.   Awaken your heart to what I am doing. Continue seeking me and I will be found.     I will bring forth descendants from Jacob, and from Judah people to take possession of my mountains. My chosen ones will take possession of the land; my servants will live there. Isaiah 65:9 (NET)

From Issachar there were 200 leaders and all their relatives at their command — they understood the times and knew what Israel should do. 1 Chronicles 12:32 (NET)

So I have provided for the house of my God, so far as I was able, the gold for the things of gold, the silver for the things of silver, and the bronze for the things of bronze, the iron for the things of iron, and wood for the things of wood, besides great quantities of onyx and stones for setting, antimony, colored stones, all sorts of precious stones and marble. Moreover, in addition to all that I have provided for the holy house, I have a treasure of my own of gold and silver, and because of my devotion to the house of my God I give it to the house of my God:… and for all the work to be done by craftsmen, gold for the things of gold and silver for the things of silver. Who then will offer willingly, consecrating himself today to the LORD?” 1 Chronicles 29:2-3, 5 (ESV)
