be careful in what you behold

take heed to yourself that you are not ensnared to follow them, after they are destroyed from before you, and that you do not inquire after their gods, saying, 'How did these nations serve their gods? I also will do likewise.'  Deuteronomy 12:30 (NKJV)

you are my favorite

Did you know you are my favorite? Yes, I’ve seen you stumble and fall but you get back up. There is no one I could love more than I now love you. There is no one who touches my heart in the way you do. Get ready, for I have more for you. I have plans for you to grow exponentially. There are kingdom plans I have specific for you. Come closer and carefully listen, for in the next six weeks you will be moving in a new spiritual dynamic. You will be influencing lives for my kingdom. Begin the purification process. Holy Spirit will guide you in the way. Open your heart to his leading. Meditate upon my Word and my way. Learn the way I see you; You are my favorite.

Better is one day

Look upon our shield, O God; look with favor on your anointed one. Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked. Psalm 84:9-10 (NIV)

One thing

One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek, inquire for, and [insistently] require: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord [in His presence] all the days of my life, to behold and gaze upon the beauty [the sweet attractiveness and the delightful loveliness] of the Lord and to meditate, consider, and inquire in His temple. For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; in the secret place of His tent will He hide me; He will set me high upon a rock. Psalm 27:4-5 (AMP)

Let your light so shine

Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven. Matthew 5:16 (AMP)

Stepping forth

In this season we are often caught in our emotions. But I encourage you to be caught in the blessing of Father. As this year ends and another unfolds, find yourself knowing your are loved. Do not be discouraged, but be affirmed in the Father’s love for you. Step forth into the light of his blessing.     I speak this benediction over your life   “The LORD bless you and protect you; The LORD make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you; The LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.”’ Numbers 4:24-26 (NET)

presents or presence?

If you are lost and find yourself wondering about. God has a purpose. You may be moved to your place of discontent So the LORD God banished them from the Garden of Eden, and he sent Adam out to cultivate the ground from which he had been made. Genesis 3:23 (NLT) So Cain left the LORD’s presence and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden. Genesis 4:16 (NLT) Follow the good example. Work to get back. Ask to come into the presence of the living God. How will anyone know that you look favorably on me—on me and on your people—if you don’t go with us? For your presence among us sets your people and me apart from all other people on the earth.”  The LORD replied to Moses, “I will indeed do what you have asked, for I look favorably on you, and I know you by name.” Moses responded, “Then show me your glorious presence.” Exodus 33:16-18 (NLT) See how Father-God responds to your heart-felt request. The LORD replied, “Listen, I am making a covenant with you in the presence of a

exercise

It’s time to become stronger in me. Don’t be lazy, but exercise what is already within you. As you use your gifts others will benefit. As you step beyond what you already know more will be give. There you will find the fulfillment you are now searching. It is there you know the peace from which I speak. You will be the light which dispels darkness. Become motivated and learn obedience as did my son. Step out in love. Be moved with compassion. Now is the time to bring forth a full measure. And we have different gifts according to the grace given to us. If the gift is prophecy, that individual must use it in proportion to his faith. If it is service, he must serve; if it is teaching, he must teach; if it is exhortation, he must exhort; if it is contributing, he must do so with sincerity; if it is leadership, he must do so with diligence; if it is showing mercy, he must do so with cheerfulness. Romans 12:6-8 (NET)

I will go before you

I will go before you and make the mountains flat. I will break down the bronze gates of the cities and cut through their iron bars. I will give you the wealth that is stored away and the hidden riches so you will know I am the LORD, the God of Israel, who calls you by name. Isaiah 45:2-3 (NCV)

you can choose

Be careful, or you will be fooled and will turn away to serve and worship other gods. See, today I am letting you choose a blessing or a curse. Deuteronomy 11:16, 26 (NCV)     The wise seek me continually. Their eyes are set to where I am going, and not where I have been. You must more than know my voice. Do not grow weary, for I am with you. Follow me with joy. Listen: for I am whispering my name for you. I am giving direction for your way.   Be fed by my words. Be washed clean by the water of Holy Spirit. He will lead you to Jesus. There are choices for your life. If you know my heart you will make the right ones. You were chosen to lead in these times. You are a light to those in darkness.   Worship me in Spirit and truth. Do not let the idols of this modern world. sway your heart into the path of destruction. Bless those about you through the example of your life. Yet as in all ways, the chose is your to make. You can choose a blessing or a curse.

My wish for you

The LORD will continually lead you; he will feed you even in parched regions. He will give you renewed strength, and you will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring that continually produces water. Isaiah 58:11 (NET) My thoughts for you have not changed. You remain the apple of my eye. I have placed you in circumstances which you may grow stronger in me. I continue to supply the meat of my Word. My wish for you is that you may prosper and grow. Subdue the earth that my kingdom may grow.

drawn unto the light

Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, Go and search for the Child carefully and diligently, and when you have found Him, bring me word, that I too may come and worship Him. When they had listened to the king, they went their way, and behold, the star which had been seen in the east in its rising went before them until it came and stood over the place where the young Child was. When they saw the star, they were thrilled with ecstatic joy. Matthew 2:8-10 (AMP)

an old covenant view

I will raise up a prophet like you for them from among their fellow Israelites. I will put my words in his mouth and he will speak to them whatever I command. I will personally hold responsible anyone who then pays no attention to the words that prophet speaks in my name. “But if any prophet presumes to speak anything in my name that I have not authorized him to speak, or speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must die. Now if you say to yourselves, ‘How can we tell that a message is not from the LORD?’ — whenever a prophet speaks in my name and the prediction is not fulfilled, then I have not spoken it; the prophet has presumed to speak it, so you need not fear him.” Deuteronomy 18:18-22 (NET)

How can these things be?

If I have told you people about earthly things and you don't believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? John 3:12 (NET)

Learn to worship

Remember of what family you are now in. I have adapted you and you are mine. No need to be trapped in the past remembrances. In me is fullness, all things. I can deliver you from the ways of the enemy. Flee what you should flee and stand when you should stand. I have set a table for you, but you will have enemies when you are mine. Don’t be surprised when struggles come. They enemy would destroy all that is mine, but his methods and plans are flawed. My son yet rules and reigns. Let praise pour forth from your life. Worship me in truth and spirit. I will continue to support those I know. Let your presence be found before me. This is not the time to walk alone. Gather together before and with me.

internal spiritual occupy

Let our cattle be strong. Let no one break in. Let there be no war, no screams in our streets. Happy are those who are like this; happy are the people whose God is the LORD. Psalm 144:14-15 (NCV)

Of David and me

Praise the LORD, my Rock, who trains me for war, who trains me for battle. He protects me like a strong, walled city, and he loves me.  Psalm 144:1-2a (NCV)

Christ is your life

Since you were brought back to life with Christ, focus on the things that are above—where Christ holds the highest position. Keep your mind on things above, not on worldly things. You have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. Christ is your life. Colossians 3:1-4a (GW)

the actions of your life

I want to challenge you: Fear not!! Look about you: I have created all things. In me there is no lack. I have given the same word to leaders (Genesis 15:1, 26:24, 46:3, Joshua 8:1, Daniel 10:12) I have given this word to the land and to those I love (Joel 2:21-22, Zephaniah 3:16, Haggai 2:5, Zechariah 8:13, Malachi 3:5, Matthew 10:31) I have given this word to the night shift workers (Luke 2:10) and I will continue to give this Word:  Fear not! Look into the darkness and declare light. Concern yourself with the ways of my kingdom. Do not grow lax, but be ready for the opportunities to spread my ways, Let my light shine through the actions of your life. Fear not for I am with you.

Word for Sally

Thursday I asked if I could have a word for someone and this immediately was set into my thoughts.  While it is short, I sense it will find it’s mark with impact. Word for Sally I say no to your plan.  Wait.  I will yet work things out.
