the FireCarrier

Be secure in me and the love I have for you.  Release your tensions and thoughts of yourself. They are of the enemy. They are meant to kill, steal and destroy. I am the direction you should seek. I am what you are in need of. Call out and see if I do not answer you. Listen patiently for my voice and leading. The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.  The world and all its people belong to him.  For he laid the earth’s foundation on the seas and built it on the ocean depths. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭24:1-2‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

Yet you don’t have what you want because you don’t ask God for it. ‭‭James‬ ‭4:2b‬ (‭NLT)‬‬ Press forward. Move towards the way I have shown to you. Reach out, believing. Stretch yourself to my ways. Don’t be like the child who asks, but soon forgets what they had desired. Ask me and test me. See if I will not answer those desires I set within you. And even when you ask, you don’t get it because your motives are all wrong— you want only what will give you pleasure. ‭‭James‬ ‭4:3‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

Do not become discouraged, but continue to look at me.   Seek me each day. I am communicating with my creation. Open up, ancient gates! Open up, ancient doors, and let the King of glory enter.  Who is the King of glory? The Lord, strong and mighty; the Lord, invincible in battle.  Open up, ancient gates! Open up, ancient doors, and let the King of glory enter.  Who is the King of glory? The Lord of Heaven’s Armies— he is the King of glory. Interlude ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭24:7-10‬ (‭NLT‬‬)

Take inventory. Weigh those things which seem important to you.  Where do they stand in the plan I have for you? Loosen your grip on the things you see and see thru my eyes. I will open pathways and trails you had once thought closed-off. Ask for direction, expecting to receive it. Envision my ways are yet wrapped around your life. The fire on the altar must be kept burning; it must not go out.  Leviticus  6:12a (NIV) I saw a figure that appeared to be a man. From what appeared to be his waist down,  he looked like a burning flame. From the waist up he looked like gleaming amber.  He reached out what seemed to be a hand and took me by the hair.  Then the Spirit lifted me up into the sky and transported me to Jerusalem in a vision from God.  I was taken to the north gate of the inner courtyard of the Temple, where there is a large idol  that has made the Lord very jealous.  Suddenly, the glory of the God of Israel was there, just as I had seen it before in the valley.” Ezekiel 8:2-4 (NL

You have a short period of training. It is coming quickly upon it. How you react will determine the outcome.  Be ready or you will miss it. Open your heart to me. I have much for you to do with me. Reflect upon my Word, my son, the perfect sacrifice. Allow his light to heal you and give you direction. He will show you the direction to travel and where to turn away. I have a plan for you to be a part of my kingdom. Be ready and willing To learn and walk-out my kingdom ways, in the power I provide. Ask for rain from the LORD at the time of the spring rain.  It is the LORD who makes the thunder clouds; And He will give them showers of rain,  grass in the field to everyone. For the teraphim (household idols) speak wickedness  (emptiness, worthlessness), And the diviners see lying visions And tell false dreams;  They comfort in vain. Therefore the people wander like sheep,  They are afflicted and suffer because there is no shepherd.  “My anger is kindled against the shepherds [who are not t

Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us,  to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭3:20‬ ‭(NLT) The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship.  Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known.  They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard.  Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world.  God has made a home in the heavens for the sun. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭19:1-4‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

Ask me and expect me answer. I will show you the true way. Be careful what you take it. Weigh it against my truth, and not that which you think feels right. Many things look good. They attract the ways of the soul, secretly waging war. Absorb my written word, weigh it upon your heart. Allow it to be close to your every action. This is what the Lord says— your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:  “I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is good for you  and leads you along the paths you should follow.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭48:17‬ (‭NLT‬‬)

Come out of the darkness and walk in my light I will show you that which you seek. I will heal your wounds. Seek answers, learn from me. I will show you the pathways.  I am that which you are searching. In me there is life and contentment. Without me you will find no peace. Take my instruction rather than [seeking] silver,  And take knowledge rather than choicest gold,  For wisdom is better than rubies;  And all desirable things cannot compare with her.  “I, [godly] wisdom, reside with prudence  [good judgment, moral courage and astute common sense],  And I find knowledge and discretion. ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭8:10-12‬ (‭AMP‬‬)

Put down your sword and hold your caustic tongue Come to me. I am the safety you seek.  I protect those who walk in my ways; hearing my voice of direction.‬‬ Come safely into my fold. I am what you are seeking. so he explained it to them: “I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep.  All who came before me were thieves and robbers.  But the true sheep did not listen to them.  Yes, I am the gate. Those who come in through me will be saved.  They will come and go freely and will find good pastures. ‭‭John‬ ‭10:7-9‬ ‭(NLT)

Come in. The door is waiting to be opened by you. Reach in. Do not be bashful. All that I have is available to you. I will supply for all of your needs.

Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt,  not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain,  ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done.  If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭21:21-22‬ ‭(NIV)‬‬ Help me to believe those things you know as truth.

Persevere, do not give up. You are on the pathway I have for you. Learn to enjoy where you are, Knowing I am ever with you. I am your protector. Listen. Become more aware of the voices about you. Do not be lulled to speak judgement. On that day they will say to Jerusalem, “Do not fear, Zion;  do not let your hands hang limp. The Lord your God is with you,  the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you;  in his love he will no longer rebuke you,  but will rejoice over you with singing. ‭‭Zephaniah‬ ‭3:16-17‬ ‭(NIV‬‬)

Father-God, I ask for your forgiveness for my attitude. Turn my heart fully to you and to those things which you may have for me to be doing. Open my heart, so I might love others, as you love me. I pray for your church. Help us to become what you envision. Let us reach those you set before us and to those you place in our hearts, Teach us to share generously what we have received from you. Bring healing to your peoples. I pray for our government. In these troubling times, grant wisdom and direction for our leaders. Help them to make the decisions which are necessary. We need spiritual and physical healing. Remove the fear and anger. Replace them with you. I pray for my family. You know our needs. Grant wisdom and healing interpersonally and individually. Direct our hearts towards you. I pray for Israel and the issues which they continue to face. Make it so.  You are all we ever need. Apostolic creed I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth;

I am the light. Without me you will stumble in the darkness. I was the light in the beginning. I showed you the way to life. In me there is no shadow or darkness. My ways are pure and selfless. Each day, spend your time with me. I am what you need. Quiet your mind and listen for my Spirit. Engage yourself with me. You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do.  You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord.  You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭139:3-5‬ ‭(NLT)

It's time to refocus where your attention lies. Watch what is gathering you in. Is it me? Are you drawing closer to my ways? I do not bring you into condemnation. I am not the accuser, but I will deliver you. Follow after me. Take the time to be with me. You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do.  You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord.  You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭139:3-5‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

Move forward, it’s time to take the next step. Do not hesitate, but move forward. I am there ahead of you and will direct your way. I am behind you as a rear guard of protection. I am ahead of you as a beacon of light. Move forward and follow after me. I will direct your steps as you follow after my instruction. When Pharaoh finally let the people go, God did not lead them along the main road that runs through Philistine territory, even though that was the shortest route to the Promised Land. God said, “If the people are faced with a battle, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.” So God led them in a roundabout way through the wilderness toward the Red Sea. Thus the Israelites left Egypt like an army ready for battle. ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭13:17-18‬ (‭NLT‬‬) The Lord went ahead of them. He guided them during the day with a pillar of cloud, and he provided light at night with a pillar of fire. This allowed them to travel by day or by night. And the Lord did not re

What is it you need? Bring your requests to me. I am the creator. All things exist through me. Come to the light. I will open your eyes to truth. In my truth all life and light subsists. I am the way, truth and life. I offer myself to those who seek me. I am what you need this day and all days. Freely share what you have received.  I will supply what you need. And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs  from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus. ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:19‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭41:10‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) You can believe in me, for I Am truth. Where I Am there is life and hope. You can reflect my ways to those around you. You can plant the seeds I provide. Follow after me. I will show you the way. I will lead you into the paths of right-living. Share what you have received from me.  Avoid the trap of greed. Avoid the pathway of darkness. Walk in the victory of my light.

Sit still and close your eyes. Open yourself to me.  What do you sense I am showing you? Become aware. I am ever with you. My love and protection surrounds you. You are mine; my important creation. Close your eyes again and visualize me. Let me direct you, To guide your heart and direction. Learn to respond in obedience. Open yourself to my leading and I will show you things. I will again take you to places. I can use those who learn to love. It was by faith that Noah built a large boat to save his family from the flood.  He obeyed God, who warned him about things that had never happened before.  By his faith Noah condemned the rest of the world, and he received the righteousness  that comes by faith. It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home  and go to another land that God would give him as his inheritance.  He went without knowing where he was going. ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11:7-8‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears. Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces. In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened; he saved me from all my troubles. For the angel of the Lord is a guard; he surrounds and defends all who fear him. Taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him! Fear the Lord, you his godly people, for those who fear him will have all they need. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭34:4-9‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

Where do you want to go?  Have you prepared for where you wish to go  and what you want to be? How do you know when you are there? What will you see?  Listen and watch for me. I have direction and encouragement for you.  It is my plan to strengthen you along the way, to supply you with what is needed. Do not become discouraged, but keep going. Take time to seek after me.  I am your provision and strength. Open your heart. The Lord said to Moses, “Let one leader bring his gift each day for the dedication of the altar.”   ‭‭Numbers‬ ‭7:11‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children,  how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:11‬ ‭(NLT)‬‬

There is nothing you have done or will do which surprises me. I have known you from before your birth and you are covered in my love. I have gifted you with spiritual endeavors to accomplish.  It is thru them which you will grow more in my ways. Speak forth the words I shall give you and become a blessing upon this earth. I have placed you here. Water yourself with me and my Word. Grow in my ways. However, the Levitical priests of the family of Zadok continued to minister faithfully  in the Temple when Israel abandoned me for idols. These men will serve as my ministers.  They will stand in my presence and offer the fat and blood of the sacrifices, says the Sovereign Lord.   They alone will enter my sanctuary and approach my table to serve me. They will fulfill all my requirements.    Ezekiel‬ ‭44:15-216 (‭NLT)

You are my unique creation. There is no one made like you. There are none with your specific gifts and expressions of my love. Draw nearer to me. Be ready to respond at the urging of my voice. Set your feet firmly in the pathway I show you. Step at a time follow me. Be ready for my love to be released through you. Be steadfast in listening for my voice Have no fear, for I am with you. My ways through you will set captives free, With wholeness of body and spirit. Reach beyond what you think and move forward upon what I show you. Listen for my guiding voice and take action.

Look to me. My love never ends. My ways do not change. In the midst of your trouble and anger, Seek me. My love for you never ends. I have seen you In times of rejoicing and sorrow. Look for me. I am hiding, awaiting for you. My ways are unchanging. My love never ends. For he divided the sea and led them through, making the water stand up like walls!  In the daytime he led them by a cloud, and all night by a pillar of fire.  He split open the rocks in the wilderness to give them water, as from a gushing spring.  He made streams pour from the rock, making the waters flow down like a river! ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭78:13-16‬ (‭NLT‬‬)

O my people, listen to my instructions. Open your ears to what I am saying,  for I will speak to you in a parable.  I will teach you hidden lessons from our past— stories we have heard and known,  stories our ancestors handed down to us.  We will not hide these truths from our children;  we will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord,  about his power and his mighty wonders. So each generation should set its hope anew on God,  not forgetting his glorious miracles and obeying his commands. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭78:1-4, 7‬ (‭NLT‬‬) My words and ways have not changed. Words and gifts given have not been revoked or forgotten. I have shepherded you over the years, sharing my ways and giftings. I have blessed you in good times and bad. I have kept you safe. Open yourself again to the possibility of my mighty ways To flow through you. That you will be a conduit of my love. Healing and power are there, reach again in belief. Think back at the points in your life: I was there with y

For the word of the Lord holds true, and we can trust everything he does. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭33:4‬ ‭(NLT)‬‬. For those times of doubt and pain: Jesus is never-changing. He cares for you.

On a walk earlier this week we saw a train. We could not see the direction it was pointing,  as it was stationary upon the tracks. We saw a northbound train.  It was not long after that  we heard the approach of another train. It too was northbound. It had three engine at it’s front.  We were close enough, so we stopped to see and feel the oncoming train. For some reason,  the lead engine caught my attention. It was marked as engine number 3304. When the watchman sees the enemy coming, he sounds the alarm to warn the people. Ezekiel 33:3 (NLT)

I am the way you are searching to find. It is through me you will find the satisfaction of life. I will guide you in the ways of truth. My blessing will follow you as you seek me in all your ways. I am the way of truth. There can be no truth without me. Do not be troubled, My light releases you from the bondage of self and the tyranny the enemy attempts to trap you in. His ways leads you into death. Draw nearer to me, and I will sustain you. I am the bread of life. Feed upon my living Word. Listen and I will answer you. Do not allow the lies of the enemy to seep into your life.  Do not allow him to stain you. Seek my ways and find more. I am the way, the truth and Life. Follow after me. Learn to trust what I tell you.

Praise the Lord!  Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heaven!  Praise him for his mighty works; praise his unequaled greatness!  Praise him with a blast of the ram’s horn; praise him with the lyre and harp!  Praise him with the tambourine and dancing; praise him with strings and flutes!  Praise him with a clash of cymbals; praise him with loud clanging cymbals.  Let everything that breathes sing praises to the Lord! Praise the Lord! ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭150:1-6‬ ‭NLT‬‬

When you pray, don’t babble on and on as the Gentiles do. They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again and again. Don’t be like them, for your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him! Pray like this: Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come soon. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us today the food we need, and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us. And don’t let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one. If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins. Matthew 6:7-15 (NLT) Review the verses: For at times we turn inward. We can forget that prayer is a relationship. It is essential for us to relate properly with the Father.
