being led of God

All the people of Judah and Israel had security; everyone from Dan to Beer Sheba enjoyed the produce of their vines and fig trees throughout Solomon’s lifetime. I Kings 4:45 (NET)

my prayer

I will rejoice because of the LORD; I will be happy because of the God who delivers me! Habakkuk 3:18 (NET) Draw us closer to you. Cover over us from the snares and snarls we walk into.  Refresh our lives,  enliven our hearts to seek more from you.   Let me be satisfied in what you have set before me. Open my eyes.  Unstop my ears. Soften the brittleness which encases me.   The sovereign LORD is my source of strength. Habakkuk 3:19a (NET)

Cry out…

Sing happily, people of Zion! Shout loudly, Israel! Celebrate and rejoice with all your heart, people of Jerusalem. The LORD has reversed the judgments against you. He has forced out your enemies. The king of Israel, the LORD, is with you. You will never fear disaster again. Zephaniah 3:14-15 (GW)

deliverance is at hand

Although I afflicted you; I will afflict you no more. I will tear apart the shackles that are on you. Nahum 1: 12b, 13b I have planted my ways within you. My hands direct your pathway. Do not resist. Open yourself; receive healing. In you brokenness I can bring a harvest. Cling to what I whisper to you. Awaken and worship me. Overflow with the grace covering you.

consider the source

John replied, No one can receive anything unless it has been given to him from heaven.  John 3: 27 (NET )

we come to know

By this we come to know (progressively to recognize, to perceive, to understand) the [essential] love: that He laid down His [own] life for us; and we ought to lay [our] lives down for [those who are our] brothers [in Him]. 1 John 3:16 (AMP)

opening your treasures

When they saw the star, they were thrilled with ecstatic joy. And on going into the house, they saw the Child with Mary His mother, and they fell down and worshiped Him. Then opening their treasure bags, they presented to Him gifts—gold and frankincense and myrrh. Matthew 2:10-11 (AMP) May you continue seeking Him and His ever-expanding revelation. Learn who He is and how to worship.  In your vulnerability you will learn the strength of depending upon Him. Open your bags so the gifts may be presented as unto Him.

which are you?

The Lord is good, a strong refuge when trouble comes. He is close to those who trust in him. But he will sweep away his enemies in an overwhelming flood. He will pursue his foes into the darkness of night. Nahum 1:7-8 (NLT)

an ultimate meeting

You meet him who rejoices in doing righteousness, Who remembers You in Your ways.  Isa 64:5 (NASU)

Good News: a restoration is approaching

I will not keep silent because of Zion, and I will not keep still because of Jerusalem, until her righteousness shines like a bright light and her salvation, like a flaming torch. Nations will see your righteousness and all kings, your glory. You will be called by a new name that the LORD’s mouth will announce. You will be a glorious crown in the LORD’s hand, and a royal diadem in the palm of your God. Isaiah 62:1-3 (HCSB)

dwell on these things

Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable—if there is any moral excellence and if there is any praise—dwell on these things. Do what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4:8-9 (HCSB)

I led them

I was the one who taught the people of Ephraim to walk. I took them by the hand. But they didn't realize that I had healed them.   I led them with cords of human kindness, with ropes of love. I removed the yokes from their necks. I bent down and fed them. Hosea 11:3-4 (GW) I too watch over you. I create the situations where you can find me; places for you to flourish. My eye is constantly upon you. My hand is ever-available.

I will bring them home

In this season, it is a time for hope. A time to renew yourself in me. Allow me to minister to your wounds and brokenness. Allow me to introduce peace in areas where strife and contention abounds. Reach out to my creation. Reach out to those in your families, showing them the acceptance I show you. Allow me peace to evident in your life. My promises remain true. I will accomplish what I have told you. "Oh, how can I give you up, Israel? How can I let you go? How can I destroy you like Admah or demolish you like Zeboiim? My heart is torn within me, and my compassion overflows. No, I will not unleash my fierce anger. I will not completely destroy Israel, For someday the people will follow me. I, the Lord, will roar like a lion. And when I roar, my people will return trembling from the west. Like a flock of birds, they will come from Egypt. Trembling like doves, they will return from Assyria. And

grow in grace

Let me warn you therefore, beloved, that knowing these things beforehand, you should be on your guard, lest you be carried away by the error of lawless and wicked [persons and] fall from your own [present] firm condition [your own steadfastness of mind]. But grow in grace (undeserved favor, spiritual strength) and recognition and knowledge and understanding of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (the Messiah). To Him [be] glory (honor, majesty, and splendor) both now and to the day of eternity. Amen (so be it)! 2 Peter 3:17-18 (AMP)

Examine your heart

I was driving home one recent evening when I asked God if there was a Word I could share with others.  When I did, it was if I heard him laugh. As I looked at the car in front of me, I could see a stethoscope hanging on the rear-view mirror. I clear heard him say,   Examine your heart. Do not be troubled, for you are mine. I will bring you the clarity you are seeking.     Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you; I do not give it to you as the world does. Do not let your hearts be distressed or lacking in courage.  John 14:27 (NET)   He does care for us as individuals. He wishes us to walk consistently in His peace and to share His ways with others. Examine your heart; Do not be troubled.

Notice the signs

Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign: Behold, the young woman who is unmarried and a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel [God with us]. Isaiah 7:14 (AMP)   Notice the signs. There are signs all about you. Everywhere you travel you can see signs. They can draw your attention to places or give you direction. Pay notice to the signs. Do not miss them or you will miss my ways. You will see my signs only if you look for them with discernment.   Do not follow the direction of every sign. Seek me and my way. I will give you the direction which is in need.

my battle-ax and sword

You are my battle-ax and sword," says the Lord. "With you I will shatter nations and destroy many kingdoms. Jeremiah 51:20 (NLT)

Black Friday

My blessings continue through each day. The ultimate price has already been paid.

Fullness of thanks…

May the joy of the Lord-God-Almighty overflow you this day and each step of the rest of your lives Joyfully sing to the LORD, you righteous people. Praising {the LORD} is proper for decent people. Give thanks with a lyre to the LORD. Make music for him on a ten-stringed harp. Sing a new song to him. Play beautifully and joyfully on stringed instruments. The word of the LORD is correct, and everything he does is trustworthy. The LORD loves righteousness and justice. His mercy fills the earth. The heavens were made by the word of the LORD and all the stars by the breath of his mouth. Psalm 33:1-6 (GW)

My food

Meanwhile, the disciples were urging him, “Rabbi, have something to eat.” Jesus told them, “I have food to eat that you don't know about.” The disciples asked each other, “Did someone bring him something to eat?” Jesus told them, “My food is to do what the one who sent me wants me to do and to finish the work he has given me.    John 4:31-34 (GW)

imparted to you

Dearest Reader,   Continue to grow in me. Seek my supernatural ways and guidance. Come to the realization I shall never leave you. I can be found, if you take the time to hunt after me.   Close your eyes; Feel the warmth of my presence. Take in a deep slow breath. My essence is all about you. Notice my aroma as it hovers over you.  Learn who I am. You need learn to trust me even more.   Follow where I shall lead you; for in me is safety and wholeness. Imagine what it is I have called you to be. Watch it come to pass. Believe in me. Every word I have imparted to you is true.

do not refuse to listen

So see to it that you do not reject Him or refuse to listen to and heed Him Who is speaking [to you now].  Hebrews 12:25a (Amp)

the four winds of heaven

Then I said to the angel who talked with me, What are these, my lord?  And the angel answered me, These are the four winds or spirits of the heavens, which go forth from presenting themselves before the Lord of all the earth. Zechariah 6:4-5

the things which are revealed

The secret things belong unto the Lord our God, but the things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all of the words of this law. Deuteronomy 29:29 (Amp)

Stand upright

My sons and daughters: Stand upright . Do not withdraw into the place of complacency.

as it was

For as it was in the time of Noah, so it will be at the Coming of the Son of Man.  Matthew 24:37 (WEY) There were giants roaming the earth, but there were those who heard the voice of God speak to them. Obeying it they received direction, saving a generation of people upon the foundation of truth. Ruach Elohim continues to hover over the new creation, active in drawing to and directing us to Jesus and the life available.

de-masking

I am removing the masks .

take the time

If you take the time to listen, what am I saying? What am I pouring into your heart? What dreams surface for the night times. What do they tell you of me? Do you hear the water washing over the remains of broken dreams? Consider what it means.  Can you smell the leaves of another time, a seasonal move into things yet to be revealed? Look around you and ask me what I am doing. Listen to what I am saying.

Do not quench the Spirit

Do not quench (suppress or subdue) the [Holy] Spirit; 20 Do not spurn the gifts and utterances of the prophets [do not depreciate prophetic revelations nor despise inspired instruction or exhortation or warning]. 1 Thessalonians 5: 19-20 (AMP)

your conductor

There are those of mine who feel like a train stopped on its tracks. You feel stalled in your journey, not knowing the destination or even which direction you are now to be going. Remain where you are placed. Some of you are stopped for necessary repairs.  Others are being fueled and others of you are being retooled for the new job I have for you. I am your conductor. I wish you to be whole and prepared for this next excursion I have for you.  or now, rest in me. I will make it clear when you are to again be at my work. It is within my power that you will be successful.

open your window

It's time to open your window. Come out from behind the protection and rely upon my supernatural ways. Come out from cloudy and smudged misconceptions of what I want. There is only one thing I want, and that is all of you. Allow my light to fill you. Step from behind the man-made enclosure. See with my panoramic vision.

Shepherd my sheep

Feed my lambs    Shepherd my sheep       Feed my sheep As you walk with me you will learn my ways. I will open your eyes and you will see. You will learn what I have for you to do. You will have clarity, so do not grow weak. Continue with me; eat the bread I have for you. Strengthen yourself in me.  Learn to be a shepherd to those I bring you. Point them to me and my ways. Do not allow envy to drive a wedge between one another. Shepherd my sheep: be about what I have for you.

for Kevin and Kellie

  This word is for Kevin and Kellie: No, it is not too late. You have been asking Father, and feel like He is not hearing you and not answering you.  It is now a time of dryness and you feel like quitting. Begin again at exercising your faith. Now is the time to prepare. Be ready for the thing I will show you. I have been preparing your heart, empting out those things which do not belong. Stand before me and receive a fresh vision. Let me overflow your thoughts and show you how we will accomplish my plans for you. I want you to reread that portion of scripture which originally enlivened you. I will feed you more from that.  I will enlarge it one more time with fresh manna. I am answering you now: I want you to be ready. It is not too late, if you allow me to work through you.

Look for me

Look for me. Do not give up. I am awaiting to be found by you.  In every situation I am here. Trust how I lead you. In your weakness others can see me working.I will strengthen you. I am the comforter and counselor. Do not let your gift remain dormant and buried in the ground. Exercise what you have, I will direct you. Cast your nets into the sea f humanity where I show you and there will be an abundance. Learn to look for me in every situation.  Allow me to surprise you with my results. The treasures of my kingdom are set before you.

received 10/18

I will set before you the treasures of my kingdom. He ensures that orphans and widows receive justice. He shows love to the foreigners living among you and gives them food and clothing. Deuteronomy 10:18 (NLT)

who I am

I want you to learn who I am.   You are to learn be entwined in my kingdom. I will reveal to you my names and their fullness of my mission. You will learn your true destiny as you learn who I am. Health and wholeness will follow where you have been. Power will flow outward from where I have your right hand extended.

amongst the baggage

So they inquired again of the Lord, “Has the man arrived here yet?” The Lord said, “He has hidden himself among the equipment.”   1 Samuel 10:22 (NET) Don’t all the call of God upon your life get you caught up in the “stuff”

my words

Listen for my words of direction. Don’t allow the the noise of the world to drown out what I have to say to you. It will speak endlessly. The words and pictures continue to drone on and cause confusion. I am not a God of confusion. Don't become entangled or desensitized to the venom of sin and it's deadening paralysis. Walk in my light and find freedom.

directions…

Direction for those who do not yet know me I have plans for you to extend my kingdom. I will supply all that you will need. If you listen, I will direct you before you start out. I will show you who is hurting and ready for my intervention. You can release my influence and power upon the earth and the situations I will show you. You are to learn not to question my directions of methods or timing. I will set you into situations where my light will drive out the darkness.

fighting philistines

Samuel revealed the word of the Lord to all Israel. Then the Israelites went out to fight the Philistines 1 Samuel 4:1 (NET)

In your weakness

Look for me with expectation. Do not give up. I am awaiting to be found by you. In every situation, I am here.  Trust how I will lead you. In your weakness others can see me at work. I will strengthen you. I am the comforters, the counselor.

what God the Lord will say

I will hear what God the Lord will say; For He will speak peace to His people, to His godly ones; But let them not turn back to folly. Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, That glory may dwell in our land. Psalm 85: 8-9 (NASU)

trust in the Lord

"Listen to me, O Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, put your trust in the Lord your God and you will be established. Put your trust in His prophets and succeed."  2 Chronicles 20:20 (NASU)

for Camille

Camille, Father God says, “I love you.” It is Holy Spirit who has been pursuing you, wooing and guiding you to  Jesus. Your increase of dreams is one way he speaks to you. He says, you can’t change your ways on your own; But you can turn to Jesus.  He can direct the changes. There is peace awaiting you, an overflowing for you. Look beyond the mirror. Do not be concerned about the colour of your shoes. Come sit and be soothed. Be embrace, for you, Camille, are loved.

arise

Arise and fly upon my wings.  Be settled, I will shelter you. I will take you into my heavenly places, high above you. I will bring meat to you to chew upon and learn from me; to be absorbed in my identity. Dwell in the shadow of my presence. Rise up to who you are in me.

Don’t rush…

Don't rush: Stop striving to be where you feel I want you to be, Trust my plan and allow me to lead you. I will continue to place situations to test you; To give you opportunities to grow in my ways. As you trust me to lead you through the pathways you will find my power already at work. Don't rush, but dwell with me

poured out upon you

Astonish yourselves and be astonished; blind yourselves and be blind! Be drunk, but not with wine; stagger, but not with strong drink! For the Lord has poured out upon you a spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes (the prophets), and covered your heads (the seers) Isaiah 29:9-10 (ESV)

atonement 5774

"Then you will take delight in the Almighty and look up to God. You will pray to him, and he will hear you, and you will fulfill your vows to him. You will succeed in whatever you choose to do, and light will shine on the road ahead of you. If people are in trouble and you say, 'Help them,' God will save them. Even sinners will be rescued; they will be rescued because your hands are pure. Job 22:26-30 (NLT)

Word for Bethany

Bethany I saw you sitting alone, in the corner of the porch, wanting to be outside, yet wanting to hide unnoticed.  You are not alone, thinking of your past as you watch the traffic passing you by. I am calling your name. It is time for you to come out, and off the front porch of safety.  Your past or your future do not determine whom you are. It is whom I see within you now.  The richness of his ways are within you awaiting to heal others.

For Gina

This word is for Gina with the bright-blonde hair. I notice you. I have seen your heart and the smile of your disposition. You do not need to try to hide yourself. You are safe. You can have freedom in me. Stand tall Virginia, I have called you by name. There is no more hiding. I heard one other single word for you - expedition. As in a journey, voyage or trip made for a specific purpose.

ever-present

Let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. Exodus 25:8 (AMP) I remain ever-present. My intensions for you have never wavered.  Look for me so that I may be found and show my ways. I am imparting my ways to you. In the night seasons you are being filled with me. Do not despair. Like a sponge I have squeezed you, causing you to become dry.  In preparation I have pushed out the impurities, exposing your weaknesses so you might rely upon me. You will be no more a mixture, but fresh life filled fully with my water. I will supply liberally all that you need. You will be my tabernacle, a place where I can dwell and walk among my people.

you will find me…

When you look for me, you will find me. When you wholeheartedly seek me, I will let you find me, declares the LORD. Jeremiah 29:13-14a (GW)

Jesus said to them

Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you.” John 20:21 (GW)

the Word

Do not begin to suppose that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly I am saying to you, until the heaven and the earth pass away, not one smallest letter nor smallest letter-marking shall pass away from the law until all comes to pass. Matthew 5:17 (from The New Testament: An Expanded Translation by Kenneth S. Wuest)

re-examination

There comes a time when re-examination of what one knows and what is said.  Know that God supplies your needs: learn that balance between wanting and the supplier.

a changing of seasons

As you are aware this is a time of seasonal changes. The is true of the natural and in the spirit. Change is not always comfortable. It causes us to adapt and change to what is now before us. It allows us to know our need for God and make necessary adjustments. Yet amidst of the seeming changes, God is constant in his love for us.

Wisdom has the advantage

If the axe is dull and he does not sharpen its edge, then he must exert more strength. Wisdom has the advantage of giving success. Eccl 10:10-11 (NASU)

sorting out the weeds…

Here is another story Jesus told: "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a farmer who planted good seed in his field. But that night as the workers slept, his enemy came and planted weeds among the wheat, then slipped away. When the crop began to grow and produce grain, the weeds also grew. "The farmer's workers went to him and said, 'Sir, the field where you planted that good seed is full of weeds! Where did they come from?' "'An enemy has done this!' the farmer exclaimed. "'Should we pull out the weeds?' they asked. "'No,' he replied, 'you'll uproot the wheat if you do. Let both grow together until the harvest. Then I will tell the harvesters to sort out the weeds, tie them into bundles, and burn them, and to put the wheat in the barn.'" Matt 13:24-30 (NLT) I saw an airfield. It was packed with smaller planes. There was row after row of planes waiting to be fueled, to be sent forth. As I continued

I will meet with you

Taking the blind man by the hand, He brought him out of the village; and after spitting on his eyes and laying His hands on him, He asked him, "Do you see anything?" Mark 8:23 (NASU) And there before you shall be a house. Do not be afraid of its inhabitants. They are my children. They live under my protection. Enter into the house. Accept their friendship. Worship me with them. Then, lay your hands upon each of them, individually imparting what I have for them. You shall speak words of life into each. As you go out, I will meet with you.

get up and go out

The hand of the Lord was on me there, and He said to me, "Get up, go out to the plain, and there I will speak to you."  So I got up and went out to the plain; and behold, the glory of the Lord was standing there...  Ezekiel 3: 22-23a (NASU)

what I am doing

Watch what I am doing. Observe not just my ways, but my attitude. I am love and wholeness. Watch me. See where I am moving. I am reaching into hearts. I am removing blockages. I am creating a firm foundation. Do not look away from what I shall show you. You will learn my intension and become a part of what I am doing. Imprint upon your heart my laws and precepts. Let them guide your actions and protect your heart .

for I wish to be found

In your point of weakness seek me. I will strengthen you. I will send you food to eat. I will grant you peace so you may sleep.  Do not become discouraged for I am ever with you. In your point of strength, seek me so you do not fall. Temptation is near, but so am I. Seek me, for I wish to be found.

Speak my word

Be focused upon me; Do not be troubled by the turmoil which surrounds you.  I, the creator-God, remain in control. The pure of heart will see me. Keep your eyes upon me and not the peripheral circumstances. Feed daily upon my word. Call upon my name and I will respond. Speak my word in love and truth so others may learn of me.

Check your seed: what are you sowing?

You will always harvest what you plant Gal 6:7b (NLT)

be careful how you live

Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil.  So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.   Ephesians 5:15-17 (NASU)

I am yet

My banner (flag of allegiance) over you (those aligned with me) is (my never-ending) love.

for this day…

Be patient in me.  I it is through me that you have fullness of freedom

a new spirit within you

"Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.  Ezekiel 36:26-27 (NASU)

the Spirit of truth

When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. John 16:13 (ESV)

the Spirit of the Lord

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is,there is liberty. 18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.   2 Cor 3:17-18 (NASU)

clean out

Today I took the time to get to a chore I’d put off through the rain of recent weeks.  When the rain stopped this afternoon, I brought out the ladder and went to unstop the garage eaves.  I climbed up the ladder and stuck my hand into the water. I was really clean, there was but a small item directly over the down-spout. As soon as I removed it, the waters quickly exited, and my job was done. I was surprised at the quick and easy fix. It was then I heard from Father. He spoke that sometimes we put off things which we know need taken care.  He wishes to reach down and remove the clog in our lives, but too often we put off issue until there is a flair-up. We need not resist a clean out.

our breaker

He who opens the breach goes up before them; they break through and pass the gate, going out by it. Their king passes on before them, the LORD at their head.  Micah 2:13 (ESV)

gifts and callings

For God's gifts and His call are irrevocable. [He never withdraws them when once they are given, and He does not change His mind about those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call.]  Romans 11:29 (AMP

Opening the floodgates

Be prepared for I am opening the floodgates. Position yourself to receive my abundance of living waters.  You desert areas will be an oasis of opportunity. I am washing over the past landmarks and boundaries, for those who know me will have a boundless flow of what maybe needed. Past barrier will be washed away. Mountains of doubt are swept away. My Spirit will flow over every situation and into every life where invited. The floodgates will certainly be opened. Those who have learned to trust me and walk in my ways will be affected. Be prepared for I am about to open the floodgates.

be able to determine what God really wants

Don't become like the people of this world. Instead, change the way you think. Then you will always be able to determine what God really wants—what is good, pleasing, and perfect. Romans 12:2 (GW)

the LORD says

This is what the LORD says: If you will return, I will take you back. If you will speak what is worthwhile and not what is worthless, you will stand in my presence. The people will return to you, but you will not return to them.  Jeremiah 15:19 (GW)

are you a believer?

The unbeliever does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him.  And he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.  The one who is spiritual discerns all things, yet he himself is understood by no one. 1 Corinthians 2:14-15 (NET)

the kingdom of God

For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power. 1 Corinthians 4:20 (NIV)

words for two

Robert, You’ve heard this word before, but you need to hear it again in belief. You are loved. What you have done in your past is erased. I hold no anger nor malice toward you. There are still opportunities for you to complete the plans I have for you.  As you step forward in belief the peace you are missing will overflow you.   Belinda, Don’t try to mimic the others. I’ve created and called you to uniqueness.  My love will spontaneously flow through you. Watch your dreams for there I will teach you. From there I will give you direction.  You are a chosen one.

Quiet yourself

Quiet yourself for I wish to communicate with you. There is a new waves springing up. A new anointing is being released. It is expressed in two outlets. 1) a heightened sense of intense intercession and 2) a new knowing of what needs be done. These will combine with the new warriors who are called into action. They will speak to and lay hands upon the troubled and I will bring an assured answer. Quiet yourself so you might learn to hear me. Be sensitive to my leading.

Thinking…

let the things above, and not such worldly matters be the object of your thoughts. Colossians 3:2 (MaceNT)

you are my conduit

I am demonstrating my ways, breaking the bonds which would hold you.  The truths I have spoken remain. They are continually coming to pass, continually unfolding as mysteries. Stop striving for my acceptance. It is always provided for you through my son. My favor overflows you, anointing you. Live in the freedom. Walk in the expectation that I am moving through you.  It is my intension to miraculously flow. And you are my conduit to the world.  It is through you that they can find me. It is through your broken bonds that you can come into the realization of my plans to include you.

Are you using the gift?

“I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.   John 14:27 (NLT)

weigh your words

But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.” (Matthew 12:36-37 NIV)

Peace…

"Again he said, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you.””  John 20:21 NLT

your answer?

So they arrived in the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee. Luke 8:26 (NLT) Are you ready to give your answer? Many have asked before and more will continue to want an answer.  Will there be any who can give an answer? Am I the one you call upon when the winds are roaring, or when the voices from within keep complaining? Am I the one they recognize. Listen to the words you speak in your everyday conversation and explaining what you sense are my ways. Do they align with me? Are they my words or your impression? Do not be conflicted with what is coming, but be solidly based and reliant upon me. I remain the life and light of the world. Are you now ready to give your answer?

listening is not enough

My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. John 10:27 (NET)

he is the messenger

So shall you know that I have sent this command to you, that my covenant with Levi may stand, says the Lord of hosts. My covenant with him was one of life and peace, and I gave them to him. It was a covenant of fear, and he feared me. He stood in awe of my name. True instruction was in his mouth, and no wrong was found on his lips. He walked with me in peace and uprightness, and he turned many from iniquity. For the lips of a priest should guard knowledge, and people should seek instruction from his mouth, for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts. Malachi 2:4-7 (ESV)

move beyond

It’s time to move beyond your woundedness and weaknesses. I have extended your borders of influence. Push into the new land; Displace all that hinders. Displace the wrong thinking and anger. Replace them with me. Move beyond what you think you know and find me.  I am there awaiting you.

the apple of my eye

For thus said the LORD of hosts (after his glory sent me) regarding the nations that plundered you: Truly, one who touches you touches the apple of my eye.   Zechariah 2:8 (NRSV)

opening the windows of heaven

Bring to the storehouse a full tenth of what you earn so there will be food in my house. Test me in this,“ says the LORD All-Powerful. “I will open the windows of heaven for you and pour out all the blessings you need. Malachi 3:10 (NCV )

3-17

And he said, "What is the word that He spoke to you? Please do not hide it from me. 1 Samuel 3:17a (NET) This morning, during my walk I heard Father say, My people need learn to discern the times of feasting from the times of fasting. I am speaking to you; the ones whose hearts are open will receive. As I repeated the words to myself I saw a jet ascending from the airport: I was then asked a question. Is it a time of take off or a time of flight?

Seek the LORD

Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face continually.   Psalm 105:4

residing

Now as for you, the anointing that you received from him resides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things, it is true and is not a lie. Just as it has taught you, you reside in him. 1 John 2:27 (NET)

Praise the LORD!

Praise the LORD! Praise God in his Temple; praise him in his mighty heaven. Praise him for his strength; praise him for his greatness. Praise him with trumpet blasts; praise him with harps and lyres. Praise him with tambourines and dancing; praise him with stringed instruments and flutes. Praise him with loud cymbals; praise him with crashing cymbals. Let everything that breathes praise the LORD. Praise the LORD! Psalm 150:1-6 (NCV)

the rooms of your life

Come before me: Come and be washed. Stand as I wash over you. My cleansing is available to any who come. Before me is the limitless basin. It awaits those who would enter into the tent of meeting. I am removing the walls. Step through. Follow where I am leading you. Reach out to me. My anointing flows for you to accomplish what I have for you. Remove the inner walls. Allow me full entrance into the rooms of your life.

the third telling

They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem. Jesus was going ahead of them, and they were amazed, but those who followed were afraid. He took the twelve aside again and began to tell them what was going to happen to him. Mark 10:32 (NET )

an old yet continuing promise

The LORD said, "I will go with you and give you peace." Exodus 33:14 (CEV)

what I have prepared for you

In your time of battle, focus upon me. I am your shield and your covering. As you hold onto what I have spoken, you will learn my voice. Peace shall overflow you. Do not allow the confusion to have a place in your life. Call upon my name and I will answer you. Receive what I have prepared for you.

A calling together and out-sending

After Jesus called the twelve together, he gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey — no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, and do not take an extra tunic. Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave the area. Wherever they do not receive you, as you leave that town, shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.” Then they departed and went throughout the villages, proclaiming the good news and healing people everywhere. Luke 9:1-6 (NET)

move forth in love

This message for for many of you who continue to wait. You wish to serve God, but often find yourself hesitating. You’ve asked God for a sign so you’d know it was Him.  This is your sign.  He says yes. Begin what I show you. Stop waiting. Do not be waiting for my urging, but learn to move forth in love. As you learn to move in my leading, my anointing will overflow you. Read my Word and I will feed you. Exercise those things which my son did for those around him. Invite me into your prayer life and I will speak with you. Start now by repenting from your hesitancy. I have supplied what you need for effective ministry.  Begin to show the world that I am alive and love them. Move forth in my love. My power will be released.

draw nearer

Don’t wait, draw nearer. I am awaiting for you. Move past the noise. Move past the the bustle around you and within your mind. Seek me always. I will open myself to you. My peace and provision will overflow you.

through me

However, the spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and then the spiritual. The first man is from the earth, made of dust; the second man is from heaven. 1 Corinthians 15:46-47 (NET) All things are created through me. They are brought forth in my perfect timing. In your human birth if you come too soon there are natural consequences. Your prematurity is fraught with weaknesses and can lead to an early death. The same is with your spiritual birthing. Do not move without maturity or corruption will certainly follow. Do not fear, but speak the words I will give you. Do not feat he fire for I am your protection. I have placed you in this time at this location. Speak of me. Speak forgiveness, for I have forgiven you. Speak the words I have given you, of my life. Walk in the way I have created for you. In it you will find peace. In the light I will show you ways for you to grow and paths for you to minister.

In everything and all ways

In everything, treat others as you would want them to treat you, for this fulfills the law and the prophets. Matthew 7:12 (NET)

Be generous

So be careful that you don't become misers of what you hear. Generosity begets generosity. Stinginess impoverishes.          Luke 8:18 (MSG) Be generous so I can be seen. I have many blessings yet to be distributed. Do not hold back in what I have given you. Release the blessing which other need. reach out in your weaknesses and I will strengthen you. I will exercise my way of multiplication. I have created the situations for you to flourish if you will open yourself to giving away.

Holy Spirit: help me to listen

Blessed is the one who listens to me, watching at my doors day by day, waiting beside my doorway. For the one who finds me finds life and receives favor from the LORD. Proverbs 8:34-35 (NET)

Instructions for you as a priest

A continual fire must be kept burning on the altar. It must not be extinguished.  Leviticus 6:13 (NET)

His promise

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)

amidst the storm

As he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. And a great storm developed on the sea so that the waves began to swamp the boat. But he was asleep. So they came and woke him up saying, “Lord, save us! We are about to die!” Matthew 8:23-25 (NET) If this is you and you find yourself in a life storm, don’t panic. Jesus is there, whether you see him or he seems hidden away. When you flight gets bumpy or the boat is being tossed about by the waves, He is there to be called upon. He loves you. Yes: He loves you whether you may know him or not.

spiritual insensitivity

For the LORD has poured out on you a strong urge to sleep deeply. He has shut your eyes (the prophets), and covered your heads (the seers). Isaiah 29:10 (NET

deliverance

At that time the LORD will punish with his destructive, great, and powerful sword Leviathan the fast-moving serpent, Leviathan the squirming serpent; he will kill the sea monster. When that time comes, sing about a delightful vineyard! I, the LORD, protect it; I water it regularly. I guard it night and day, so no one can harm it. Isaiah 27:1-3 (NET)

a Word for your healing

This Word is for you, but sometimes a simple Word seems hard and out of reach. There is someone who has been praying for their healing, I sense it to be a physical healing. You've prayed about it. There has been times when you'd thought the healing to manifest, only to find it not so. If this fit's your scenario, if you recognize yourself here, be not be ashamed. The healing is for you. Acknowledge this by writing and saying aloud, "This is me Lord. Help my unbelief in what you've told me. I know claim my healing." I speak peace over you and your situation. I release healing and wholeness to once again flood over and through you. You are healed through the grace of Jesus.

Psalm 56:13

when you deliver my life from death. You keep my feet from stumbling, so that I might serve God as I enjoy life. Psalm 56:13 (NET)

I am a work yet in progress

Blessed (happy, to be envied, and spiritually prosperous—with life-joy and satisfaction in God's favor and salvation, regardless of your outward conditions) are you when people revile you and persecute you and say all kinds of evil things against you falsely on My account. Matthew 5:11 (AMP)

what you hear

And he said to them, "Pay attention to what you hear: with the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and still more will be added to you.  Matthew 4:24
