It time to you begin to clean up. Throw away the clutter of things from the past.  Push aside your failures and successes. Clean up: Make room for what  I have for you now.   And I will be your Father, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.   ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭6:18‬ (‭NLT‬‬)

Earlier this week I heard Father-God say 12/12 would be a day/time of multiplication. I was awakened early Wednesday morning. The room was filled with a wonderful aroma. 

In each of my prayer walks I expect to receive something from Father-God. This morning was no different.  As we were in the last portion of the walk I could hear the whistle of an approaching north-bound train.  We walked quicker in our direction so we might visualize this train that would pass by. We reach a vantage point where I could see the approaching train.   I was surprised when I saw it was powered by by bright orange engines. Directly behind them were sever car which appeared to be those which may be carrying an oil type of load.   Traveling back home, I was my eyes were draw to the signs displaying $2.29. Revelation 2:29 reminds me that I am to listen to what the Spirit is saying. Deuteronomy 2:29 reminds us that we will have particular ancient enemies harassing us, until we pass over to the land the LORD is giving us.   In examining the “orange” which caught my eyes, one place has the “Orange: fire, proven i...

Walking backwards we see clearly where we have been. But, continue walking when we look ahead we arrive at out future destination late and unprepared.

“But you, O Lord, are a shield around me; you are my glory, the one who holds my head high.”  ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭3:3‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

And I will be your Father, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.   ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭6:18‬ (‭NLT‬‬)

Have you ever wondered if God hears you, or even better, if you hear from Him.  Consider this scenario from my morning God-walk this morning. In my morning walk today, I noticed a train sitting on the track. It was not such an unusual site.  It was a pleasant morning for a walk and prayer. I had just asked God about my life direction when I heard the blast of the whistle of an on-coming train. I heard myself say, “Train, train.” "What??" I asked.  Looking back over the times of my life, He has provided many times of growth and training for me.  I heard myself asking, "Am I getting new training or giving training?"  In a few moments, I heard the groan of the stationary train as it began to awaken and slowly continue it's southbound journey. As we, my dog and self, continued walking I a saw a white "Crystal Water" truck enter onto the road-path we were walking.  It was unusual to have any type such vehicles com...

But from there you will search again for the Lord your God. And if you search for him with all your heart and soul, you will find him. Deuteronomy 4:29 (NLT)

In an evening neighborhood walk I saw many lights of varying brightness and colors. “What is that” I thought as I saw a garage with a flashing white strobe. What does that mean?   We are to be like him.  Jesus calls himself the the light of the world ( John 8:12). He is to be our example. In Matthew 5:14 He tells us we are the light of the world.   We "see" all sorts of lights; sunlight, traffic lights, taillights, flashing police lights.. In our daily walk, we are expected to learn what they represent, or face the consequences. In fact, science now tells us that all matter is made of light.   Do we take the time to see what Jesus means? What is He trying to communicate with you?  Have you learned to yield and to advance? Are you learning to be a light to the world around you?

“Let love be your highest goal! But you should also desire the special abilities the Spirit gives—especially the ability to prophesy.” 1 Corinthians 14:1 (NLT)

Do not be discouraged. I am calling you, my people: Do not give up. I am calling you to stand upright and draw closer to me. Rely upon me for all things and in all situations. Stand secure beneath my covering.

The fire on the altar must be kept burning; it must not go out. Leviticus 6:12a (NIV) Father - Help me to be emptied of my self-wishes, that I can become more as you see the future-Steve. Too many times I am looking at my past and not where your eyes are guiding me.

“This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”” ‭‭Joshua‬ ‭1:9‬ (‭NLT‬‬)

There is a season for everything, and a time for every event under heaven:  a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot what was planted. Ecclesiastes 3:1-2 We make the time to do those things we feel as important. What is important to you?  What are you doing?

It is time to deliver the mail.  Take what you have been given to the intended individual.

As I was on my Thursday late afternoon walk I found a nickel. It has been one way which Papa-God has used to communicate with me. I heard him say, “More change is coming.” As you see, I had received this Word on Thursday, but waited until Saturday to make it public. After posting it, I went on a Saturday morning walk with my dog, and decided to make a short stop at the grocery on the way home. There on the road way was the “answer”. There was more change waiting for me to collect it. There was an addition quarter, dime and two pennies.

You are a light in the darkness. Let your light be seen by others.

“Have faith in the Lord your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful.” – 2 Chronicles 20:20

Then Moses said to him, "If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here.  Exodus 33:15 (NIV)

This is what the Lord says:    “In the time of my favor I will answer you,     and in the day of salvation I will help you; I will keep you and will make you     to be a covenant for the people, to restore the land     and to reassign its desolate inheritances Isaiah 49:8 (NIV)

As I was driving home Friday listening to the radio. I heard Father-God speak a pointed word. The word came from one announcer to the other radio co-host.   “You need to learn to protect your joy. Don’t let it be so easily stolen.”

  Sometimes God answers us in ways we are not expecting. I’ve recently been asking God for “answers”.  It came across my mind again today as I was driving back from an evening walk.  My eyes were directed to the city bus, just in front of me in the right lane.   What caught my eye was the number.  It was bus 17.  I asked him, is that supposed to mean something for me?  In the natural, I could blow it off, but, I had asked a question, and had received an answer, even if I did not initially understand the message.  Then I did some biblical checking on the bus number.  The number 17 is associated with victory, the restoration of all things, spiritual perfection, and perfect order. The first time the number occurs in the bible is significant.     Genesis 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the ...

Do not be trapped in the sameness of your everyday life. You are unique. You were designed in my image of diversity. Walk with me, following my voice, my leading beyond your normal.   Follow the pathway which I shall take you. Do not rely upon what you think you know of me.  There is more for you to explore. As you come closer to me, you will see more.  Draw nearer to me. Do not be blinded by the poison of sameness. Become the image I shall show you.

But from there you will search again for the Lord your God. And if you search for him with all your heart and soul, you will find him. Deuteronomy 4:29 (NLT)

  This is for those who wonder “where” I am.   The creature which caught my peripheral and then full attention as it “floated” in front and around me. I tested to see if it was floating as if attached to a spider web.  It was not. It moved about as if at will, moving towards or away from me, regardless where the breeze was blowing. I never did determine "what" this was, but it caught my attention.     You wonder “where” I am and what I am doing in your life.  Sometimes I am right in front of you, but you ignore me because you do not recognize what is happening. Take the time to investigate. Ask how you can represent me in “this” situation. You will learn that I am there to guide and direct in in my ways.

Be secure.  Let your contentment be in me.   Continue to walk in the pathway I reveal to you. I am leading you. You will see just enough to reach the next planned destination.

For those feeling the ravage of disconnect:  You are mine: I will never leave you   Your conduct must be free from the love of money and you must be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you and I will never abandon you.”  Hebrews 13:5 (NET)

Join in what I am doing.  I am bringing freedom. It will release the breakthrough you need.  I am offering freedom from your judging my people and my leaders.  Release your insecurities and rely upon me. I will accomplish what I said I would do.   Join with me, Allow me to be released.

“The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.”   ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭32:8‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

Each day I set out your provision. It is just enough for what is needed. Provision and the way to obtain it are assured, if you persevere. Persevere in me. Continue to grow in what I have for you. Continue to move forward. Exercise what I have given you and you will strengthen. You will learn my love for you is never-ending.  Do not weigh what you think you have by what you think others contain.  Be constant in your pursuit of me.  Be constantly exercising in me, wrapped in my love for you; protected.

1)     Let me in. It’s as simple as opening the front door.   2)     I will accomplish what you’ve been asking me.   3)     Who do you say I am??    How did I first introduce myself to you? I have not changed. But do NOT limit what I will ask you to do. Then, you will see me answer.

I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. Luke 10:19 (NIV)

“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” ‭‭James‬ ‭1:17‬ ‭(NIV‬‬)

It is time for action, the period of testing is over. Do not be confused, The enemy continues to shout his lies.  Rely on the truth within. Move forth in what you been trained, not the weapons of those about you.

  In this I have much for you and to accomplish. Ask from me, see if I do not open my ways and provide for you.  Allow me to unpack charisma to cover you. I am that very thing which you desire.  I will cover you within my ways.   Be conformed to my image, molded into the ways which I provide in this time of transition.  Do not be concerned about the past, those deceptive things are behind you.  Move forward, walking where I now direct you, beneath my covering of grace and protection.

But if I say I'll never mention the LORD or speak in his name, his word burns in my heart like a fire. It's like a fire in my bones! I am worn out trying to hold it in! I can't do it!    Jeremiah 20:9 (NLT)

I was recently coming back home from a daily walk when I came upon a clock outside of a local business.  It was drawing my attention to the time 4:44. The time stood out, as if enlarged and illuminated.   What is it that you have which draws attention?  Is it of God, or is it of self?  We are reminded that both Elijah and Jesus fed the people. They would be a good example. Both provided the pure Word and provided for the physical needs. Are you providing either?     ““How can I set this before a hundred men?” his servant asked. But Elisha answered, “Give it to the people to eat. For this is what the Lord says: ‘They will eat and have some left over.’ ” Then he set it before them, and they ate and had some left over, according to the word of the Lord.” ‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭4:43-44‬ (‭NIV‬‬)

Your transition is soon ending. The time of your  questioning will be over. Be prepared.  Be ready for me to respond to your asking.   Be ready. Know your assignment: knowing where you are in me. I AM yet your protector and prize.   Do not blindly follow old pathways, but go forward where you sense me directing.  Do not stand still, but move onward. I will direct your every step, so listen for me, especially when you ask.     This is what the LORD says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.   Jeremiah 6:16

I have set you as a seer among my great people, that you may know and understand their  ways . Jeremiah 6:27 (Lamsa version)

What are you holding onto? Allow me again to direct an guide you. Loosen your grip. I will not drop you. I am causing you to want more.   Let go of the past.  I am offering more of what I have shown you. Trust me. Walk freely where you feel me now leading.

"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it."  (John  14:12-14 ).

The music rides in from the edge of town and few hear the hints as it comes upon the spring breeze.  Mostly it is ignored. People shake their heads as it comes toward them.   Patches of life spring forth where the notes of melody stop, waiting for someone to recognize it.  Elsewhere, thorns grow at the thicket. Discontent becomes common place.   A train comes from the overpass. It travels southward as it does each day It has it’s own rhythm as the wheels find their voice. It’s like hearing God, if you listen.  Melodies and rhythms continue, waiting for someone to hear; someone to share what they feel.

Lisa, When I asked father-God,   I heard “Up on the Roof”.  You are to take time to climb higher and sit with him. Quietly be there and “waste” your time with Him. It is then you will rehear the answer to that particular question you have asked him again.  He’s waiting there for you.   He’s there to renew you. Don’t look for Him in the way you have experienced Him before. Just follow that inner “knowing” He has given you.       Up on the Roof   James Taylor   When this old world starts a getting me down And people are just too much for me to face I'll climb way up to the top of the stairs And all my cares just drift right into space   On the roof, it's peaceful as can be And there the world below can't bother me   When I come home feeling tired and beat I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet I'll get away from the hustling crowd That would and all that rat-race noise dow...

See the examples I have set for you. Watch for me. Search for me and invite me where you are overwhelmed, and where you feel secure.   I am here, and there at all times. Call to me to come into every situation and circumstance. See me. I am here, wherever you are.

I am reconnecting you. Your timing is now, my timing. Your steps will be measured and recorded into my will and the pathway set before you.

I am calling you again to write down what I share with you. Write it upon the walls of your heart what I shall show you.   I am directing you to rewrite. I am bringing clarity for those who will read and listen to my voice.  Be my scribe, remembering before it can be forgotten or stolen away by the enemy.   Write it down on paper so you can reread what I have given you to share.     This is what the Lord says: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. Jeremiah 6:16 (NIV)

When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them. Luke 24:50 (NIV) The Eternal One bless and keep you. 25       May He make His face shine upon you          and be gracious to you. 26       The Eternal lift up His countenance          to look upon you and give you peace.

“But he answered, “You give them something to eat.” They said to him, “That would take more than half a year’s wages! Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?””  ‭‭Mark‬ ‭6:37‬ ‭(NIV)‬‬

“When it was evening, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and He was alone on the land. Seeing them straining at the oars, for the wind was against them, at about the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea; and He intended to pass by them. But when they saw Him walking on the sea, they supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out; for they all saw Him and were terrified. But immediately He spoke with them and said to them, "Take courage; it is I, do not be afraid." Then He got into the boat with them, and the wind stopped; and they were utterly astonished, for they had not gained any insight from the incident of the loaves, but their heart was hardened.”   Mark 6:47-52 (NASB)

“In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you. Don’t quench the Spirit. Don’t despise prophesies.” ‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5:18-20‬ (‭WEB‬‬)

It is time to clean the windows within your life. Begin now.  Be washed in my living Word. Look outward, for I am waiting for you to reach THEM. Step forward in what I have set before you. Step at a time, my enemies will fall.  I am there with you. Open yourself to my potential.   My name is upon you. All that is mine is available to you. My goodness will overflow you as you walk with me. My name will be found.  Be found in me; ever-seeking the fullness of my Word and my ways.  The window-cleaning must start from the inside. You can not hide it, as my light resides within you.

I recently had a short-dream from Father-God. It was one of which I would call an awakening or warning dream.  In this dream, I saw my dog attack a snake. As they fought this snake came to extremely large proportions. I kept calling to try to get Sadie, my dog, away from the snake, but she was not listening.   As I arrived at the two, I reached towards them, so as to get my dog away from the snake, which had her in it’s grip. I struck the snake, but could then tell this was no natural snake (aside from it's enormous size). As soon as I had hit the snake, it looked towards me. It spoke to me, but now what I saw was the form of an attractive women. She taunted me, "What are you going to do?"   As soon as I heard her, the dream was over. I was wide awake in my bed.  I heard that question repeatedly in my mid, "What are you going to do?"   I knew the question has far reaching implications for our lives. What are we going...

In my early morning walk this morning, I was encouraged. He explained to me that it is important to "hear" Him, but to also important to interpret what is being said, and to know the timing. These come by spending time with Him; giving Him nor only time, but my/your worship.

“After these things Yahweh’s word came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Don’t be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.”” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭15:1‬ ‭(WEB) Even when we are in doubt, He is watching over us, protecting us. He will shield us from the plans of the enemy.

It is time for you to move along. I will show you again the pathway. You will get a new clarity of what I am directing for you. Get up and go. No longer sit still. Call upon me, expecting my direction. Move into the territory I will set before you.    Have no fear, but focus upon me. Reflect upon what I will show you. It is time for you to manifest me. It is the time to rise up over what the enemy is saying. Fear not, for I am with you.   Rise to your rightful seat in me. Be cloaked in my righteousness and allow me to work through you.

It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure. 2 Samuel 22:33 (NIV)

I realize for some of you, it is a time of confusion and turbulence. Do not be discouraged, Father-God is guiding things in His plan. If you do not know Him or his wonderful grace for us, this may sound as drivel. But consider how/why you found this post.    God wishes to touch you right now. His way is certain and it begins with knowing Jesus.  Ask him to show himself to you. He can be trusted. He brings needed wholes/healing into our lives.   Know Jesus, and ask Him to forgive you. (WE have all need of Him). He wishes to guide you in Truth; to give you hope and a purpose.   You are part of his plan to bring salvation to those in need. You can be part of his family; Trust him and follow after his ways.   Know Jesus loves you.
