the FireCarrier

So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:11 (NLT) Look about you. I have created all things. All that you can see and those things yet invisible come from my spoken Word. My Word goes on thru eternity. From the beginning and into the end, I exist. My word sustains life. Cast aside fear and walk with me. I will re-awaken things within you. Life springs forth when you declare what I give you.

Take out your trash and wastes. Today is trash day. Leave them out to be removed. Do not hold onto the dreams and remembrances of your past. This is a new day. Make room for what I yet have for you. Become strong. Grow in me. Refresh yourself in my strength. Learn to walk in my love.

Don't wander from the pathway of truth, but keep your eyes focused upon me. I am the way. Look for me and I will show you. I will implant you with love and instruction. Each day I am with you. Wherever you go I am there. My cloud of protection surrounds you.

What is it your heart is telling you? What is it you want? Are you believing for what you ask? You are washed in my blood. Don't allow the enemy to deceive you. I have gifted you for the reaching of others. You help them open their hearts for my plans. My words are in your heart. Allow them to speak truth and give hope.

Praise the Lord! How good to sing praises to our God! How delightful and how fitting! The Lord is rebuilding Jerusalem and bringing the exiles back to Israel. He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds. He counts the stars and calls them all by name. How great is our Lord! His power is absolute! His understanding is beyond comprehension! The Lord supports the humble, but he brings the wicked down into the dust. Sing out your thanks to the Lord; sing praises to our God with a harp. He covers the heavens with clouds, provides rain for the earth, and makes the grass grow in mountain pastures. He gives food to the wild animals and feeds the young ravens when they cry. He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse or in human might. No, the Lord’s delight is in those who fear him, those who put their hope in his unfailing love. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭147:1-11‬ ‭(NLT)

I am everywhere you can look. My creation remains, ever-changing. Come back to the place where you found me. Let me anoint you with my oil, to cover over you. I chose you and over-lay you with my mantle. Do not shrink away, but stand firm in what I have placed within you. Share your strength with those I show you.

In this time of confusion, I speak peace into your life. Stop and accept my blessing.  Share it with others and watch the multiplication.

but the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David! And you will recognize him by this sign: You will find a baby wrapped snugly in strips of cloth, lying in a manger.”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭2:10-12‬ ‭(NLT) ‬‬

This is a time of correction. Examine your attitudes and reactions to see if they align with my Word. Do they reflect my heart for the lost? It is through you that I will act. You are my earthly representative, You contain my power and fullness. My Spirit is within you. Make room for more of me, so you might leak forth my glow.

but the angel reassured them. “ Don’t be afraid! ” he said. “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David! And you will recognize him by this sign: You will find a baby wrapped snugly in strips of cloth, lying in a manger.”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭2:10-12‬ (‭NLT‬‬) The message of redemption continues, thru Him .

God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through? Numbers 23:19 (NLT) Watch for me with expectation. I am the provider. Fear-not. Know my voice. Do not become distracted by the evil one. He is a liar and twists my Word. Don't limit your expectation of what I have for you. Bless others with what I have given you. I AM truth and life. Speak life. Follow me with expectation.

Do not be discouraged but find your identity in me. I AM what you are searching for. I am the Father-Creator. Draw close to me. I am wholeness and healing. Come sit with me, for I am awaiting you.

  Jacob set up a stone pillar to mark the place where God had spoken to him. Then he poured wine over it as an offering to God and anointed the pillar with olive oil. And Jacob named the place Bethel (which means “house of God”), because God had spoken to him there. Genesis 35:14-15 (NLT)

Don’t count on others or activities. They can fail you and your expectations. I am ever-present, your shield. I AM what you need, your provider and protector.

O Lord, you have examined my heart      and know everything about me. You know when I sit down or stand up.      You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. 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. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,      too great for me to understand! ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭139:1-6‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

  Stop and listen. Allow me to whisper my plans for you. Don’t rush and do not delay, but walk with me. I will continue to point out things so you might act, and understand my heart. Listen for my heart to direct you.

Cast aside your fears and come closer to me. Watch, expecting me to answer. I have a plan for you to succeed, to walk with me. I have set clues in your pathway to encourage you. I have given you my dreams and placed people in your pathway to greet you. Come closer and find fulfillment. Cast aside your fear of failure and re-learn to be loved. Allow me to wrap myself around you.

The Lord replied, “Look around at the nations; look and be amazed! For I am doing something in your own day, something you wouldn’t believe even if someone told you about it.” ‭‭ I will climb up to my watchtower and stand at my guardpost. There I will wait to see what the Lord says and how he will answer my complaint. Then the Lord said to me, “Write my answer plainly on tablets, so that a runner can carry the correct message to others. This vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed. Habakkuk 1:5, 2:1-3 (NLT)

I am the Light of the World. Walk secure in what I have spoken to your heart. Do not let the enemy steal your peace. He is a liar. You carry my light. You shine brightly in these darkening hours. You show my ways to those feeling hopeless and trapped. Reach out and bless them. Open your life and watch what I will do. I am with you in each phase of your journey. Each day I will refill you with what is needed. The more you need the more I will supply. You can not outgrow my love for you.

Be secure in me. I am what you need. I have set out a path which only you can reach. I have set my ways within your heart. You are unique and filled with my Spirit. Do not hold onto the discouragement the enemy sets in your pathway, but toss it aside and call out for me. I will show you the way.

He said to them, Pick me up and throw me into the sea to make the sea quiet down, because I know it’s my fault you are in this severe storm. Then the sailors picked Jonah up and threw him into the raging sea, and the storm stopped at once! The sailors were awestruck by the Lord’s great power, and they offered him a sacrifice and vowed to serve him. Now the Lord had arranged for a great fish to swallow Jonah.  And Jonah was inside the fish for three days and three nights. Jonah 1:12, 15-17 (NET)

Why would you think you don’t hear me? I say it’s time for you to stand up. It’s time to allow my ways to permeate you, so the lost understand my love. Share me. Reach out and be the answer for someone. Show my concern and love. Reflect what you have received.

Whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, because they love to pray while standing in synagogues and on street corners so that people can see them. Truly I say to you, they have their reward. But whenever you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you. When you pray, do not babble repetitiously like the Gentiles, because they think that by their many words they will be heard. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. So pray this way: Our Father in heaven, may your name be honored, may your kingdom come, may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we ourselves have forgiven our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For if you forgive others their sins, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, your Father will not for

I cried out, “I am slipping!” but your unfailing love, O Lord, supported me. When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭94:18-19‬ (‭NLT‬‬)

Look out, in front of you. I AM there. Can you discern me? Do you see me in the shapes and sounds nature? I am there awaiting to be discovered. Each day I display my ways for you. Hear me whisper your name. Warm yourself in my love. Go where the wind of my spirit leads you, for there is life and regeneration. You are my reflection for what the world needs. Go forth and release me freely.

  On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn of both people and animals, and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the Lord. Exodus 12:12 (NIV)

Listen for me. I’ve not stopped speaking to you. Seek my heart. Allow me to reflect my love for the lost. Let me fill you with my ways. Watch for the common things. There I will grant you wisdom to reach others who are seeking me.

We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so that what you hope for may be fully realized. We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised. ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭6:11-12‬ (‭NIV‬‬)

No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; And every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their vindication is from Me, declares the Lord. Isaiah 54:17 (NASB) Awaken to what I have spoken. I have shared my heart for the world. Be my voice of action. Let me hear your prayers ascend. Do not become discouraged by what you see. That is the deception of my enemy. Open your eyes to my written word. Allow me to guide you in truth. Don’t resist as you sense and feel me goading you into the right direction. You are my weapon. Learn my ways of love. Be my extension to the lost.

When there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint, but the one who keeps the law, blessed is he! Proverbs 29:18 (NET) Know my word. Ingest it daily. Let it guide you in all your decisions. Don't listen to the lies of the enemy but seek me. I will show you the way. I am yet the truth the world needs to see.

You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit. A good tree can’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit. So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire. Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:16-20‬ ‭(NLT) ‬‬

Don’t become trapped in deception. The lies of the enemy may be subtle, yet they are deadly. They lead you away from me. I am truth. I am the breath of life. Walk in my light and see clearly. Avoid the shadows the enemy would speak to you. They breed anger and death. Don’t allow that seed of fear. Put on my light and truth. Call out to me and I will answer you.

  Come, let us return to the Lord.  He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds. After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence. Let us acknowledge the Lord; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth. Hosea 6:1-3 (NIV)

Concern yourself with things which matter. Don’t allow self-condemnation to cloud your direction. It is of the enemy. Pause and listen. I am speaking to you. Know my voice dispels fear. I come to bring life.

So Jesus said to them, “Children, you don’t have any fish, do you?” They replied, “No.”  He told them, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.”  So they threw the net, and were not able to pull it in because of the large number of fish.   John 21:5-8 (NET) Listen for me, as I have things for you to be doing. Spend your time in the waters I will show you. Find your confidence in me. Do not be timid, but reach out where I show you. Grow in me and the kingdom ways I will yet show you.

I thank you Father. You alone are holy. You provide all which I need. You show patience towards my me, placing me back on the pathway created for my walk. I thank you for the forgiveness of my sins. Turn my eyes away from the darkness, but guide me into the light which brings grace to the world. Continue to cover me in the coming years with your grace and mercy. Allow your glory to become a beacon of light.

Certainly you made my mind and heart; you wove me together in my mother’s womb. I will give you thanks because your deeds are awesome and amazing. You knew me thoroughly; my bones were not hidden from you,  when I was made in secret and sewed together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw me when I was inside the womb. All the days ordained for me were recorded in your scroll before one of them came into existence. How difficult it is for me to fathom your thoughts about me, O God! How vast is their sum total! ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭139:13-17‬ ‭(NET‬‬)

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was fully God. The Word was with God in the beginning. All things were created by him, and apart from him not one thing was created that has been created. In him was life, and the life was the light of mankind. And the light shines on in the darkness, but the darkness has not mastered it. John 1:1-5 (NET)

Strengthen yourself in me. Feed upon my Word. Don’t rely upon those feelings and memories from your past. Reply upon me. I am unchangeable. I will not fail you. Allow my healing to come upon you.

Several of the disciples were there—Simon Peter, Thomas (nicknamed the Twin), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples. Simon Peter said, “I’m going fishing.” “We’ll come, too,” they all said. So they went out in the boat, but they caught nothing all night. At dawn Jesus was standing on the beach, but the disciples couldn’t see who he was. Then he said, “Throw out your net on the right-hand side of the boat, and you’ll get some!” So they did, and they couldn’t haul in the net because there were so many fish in it. Then the disciple Jesus loved said to Peter, “It’s the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his tunic (for he had stripped for work), jumped into the water, and headed to shore. ‭‭John‬ ‭21:2-4, 6-7‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

Don’t be surprised by what you feel. All life is based on seasons. Things are constantly in change. I have created you in my likeness. I will take you from glory onto glory. Be assured you have your place in my plan. Walk with me as the plans show themselves in this new season Spend time eating my word. Continue seeking my ways and direction.

  I watched as thrones were put in place and the Ancient One sat down to judge. His clothing was as white as snow, his hair like purest wool. He sat on a fiery throne with wheels of blazing fire, and a river of fire was pouring out, flowing from his presence. Millions of angels ministered to him; many millions stood to attend him. Then the court began its session, and the books were opened. Daniel 7:9-10 (NLT)

  Come closer. Do not hesitate, but find rest in me. Allow my healing to touch those scenes from your past. The enemy has no power over you. You are my child. Be cleansed from your scars the enemy tries to bring to your mind. Open yourself to my love and acceptance. Come closer to me.

Praise the Lord, for he has shown me the wonders of his unfailing love. He kept me safe when my city was under attack. In panic I cried out, “I am cut off from the Lord!” But you heard my cry for mercy and answered my call for help. Love the Lord, all you godly ones! For the Lord protects those who are loyal to him, but he harshly punishes the arrogant. So be strong and courageous, all you who put your hope in the Lord!” Psalms 31:21-24 (NLT)

Do not be discouraged, but find your strength in me. Look beyond what you think you know or have yet experienced. I am much more. Each day seek my heart, so I may shine thru you. Feed upon my word and you will be filled.

The Jewish leaders surrounded him and asked, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.” Jesus replied, “I told you and you do not believe. The deeds I do in my Father’s name testify about me. But you refuse to believe because you are not my sheep. My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish; no one will snatch them from my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one can snatch them from my Father’s hand. The Father and I are one.” ‭‭John‬ ‭10:24-30‬ ‭(NET)

Don’t become distracted by what you see, but experience my peace. Allow me to permeate the dryness, to bring new life. Wherever I flow life abounds. You are my ambassador. I will give you what to speak. You are a reflection of my forgiveness.

The Lord’s decisions stand forever; his plans abide throughout the ages. Psalms 33:11 (NET) the people who sit in darkness have seen a great light, and on those who sit in the region and shadow of death a light has dawned. Matthew 4:16 (NET)

I speak to my children in many ways. I am drawing you to me, so you may go in the direction you were created. Draw near, follow my breath. Spend time with me, so you may learn more of my heart. I will cover you in my love. I will guide you with my eyes.

Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice! Tell all the nations, “The Lord reigns!” Let the sea and everything in it shout his praise! Let the fields and their crops burst out with joy! Let the trees of the forest sing for joy before the Lord, for he is coming to judge the earth. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. 1 Chronicles 16:31-34 (NLT) Be glad. Believe in me and the words which I give you. In me is truth and life. Walk out of the darkness and become my light.

The Lord’s decisions stand forever; his plans abide throughout the ages. Psalms 33:11 (NET) Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice!  Tell all the nations, “The Lord reigns!” Let the sea and everything in it shout his praise! Let the fields and their crops burst out with joy! Let the trees of the forest sing for joy before the Lord, for he is coming to judge the earth. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. ‭‭1 Chronicles‬ ‭16:31-34‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

  Once again there will be sounds of joy and gladness and the glad celebrations of brides and grooms. Once again people will bring their thank offerings to the temple of the Lord and will say, “Give thanks to the Lord who rules over all. For the Lord is good and his unfailing love lasts forever.” For I, the Lord, affirm that I will restore the land to what it was in days of old. Jeremiah 33:11 (NET)

You are my agent of action. It is through you that others may see me. Do not be distracted, but continue to seek me. Bring healing, allow others to know my love for them.

A voice is calling, “Clear the way for the Lord in the wilderness; Make smooth in the desert a highway for our God. Let every valley be lifted up, And every mountain and hill be made low; And let the rough ground become a plain, And the rugged terrain a broad valley; Then the glory of the Lord will be revealed, And all flesh will see it together; For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.” A voice says, “Call out.” Then he answered, “What shall I call out?” All flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades, When the breath of the Lord blows upon it; Surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever. Get yourself up on a high mountain, O Zion, bearer of good news, Lift up your voice mightily, O Jerusalem, bearer of good news; Lift it up, do not fear. Say to the cities of Judah, “Here is your God!” Behold, the Lord God will come with might, With His arm ruling for Him. Behold,

Build for me an altar made of earth, and offer your sacrifices to me— your burnt offerings and peace offerings, your sheep and goats, and your cattle. Build my altar wherever I cause my name to be remembered, and I will come to you and bless you. Exodus 20:24 (NLT) It’s time. Press in, Even this day, I am pursuing you. What do you sense is happening? Don’t shut down or be caught in the distraction. Trust in me. I will lead you where you are to be going, I am already there.

So commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these words of mine. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Teach them to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, so that as long as the sky remains above the earth, you and your children may flourish in the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors. ‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭11:18-21‬ (‭NLT) Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if only you had been here, my brother would not have died. But even now I know that God will give you whatever you ask.” Jesus told her, “Your brother will rise again.”” John 11:21-23 (NLT)

So Joshua called together the twelve men he had chosen —one from each of the tribes of Israel. He told them, “Go into the middle of the Jordan, in front of the Ark of the Lord your God. Each of you must pick up one stone and carry it out on your shoulder —twelve stones in all, one for each of the twelve tribes of Israel. We will use these stones to build a memorial. In the future your children will ask you, ‘What do these stones mean?’ Then you can tell them, ‘They remind us that the Jordan River stopped flowing when the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant went across.’ These stones will stand as a memorial among the people of Israel forever.” So the men did as Joshua had commanded them. They took twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan River, one for each tribe, just as the Lord had told Joshua. They carried them to the place where they camped for the night and constructed the memorial there. Joshua also set up another pile of twelve stones in the middle of the Jordan, at the place where t

Watch for my hand of direction. I will point the way you should go. I will grant you my guidance. Don’t be in a hurry or you will pass-by what you need to learn. Hear me clearly. Proceed. Rely upon me. Once again, Jesus spoke to the people and said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.” ‭‭John‬ ‭8:12‬ ‭(BSB)

Then he said to me, “Speak a prophetic message to these bones and say, ‘Dry bones, listen to the word of the Lord! This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Look! I am going to put breath into you and make you live again! I will put flesh and muscles on you and cover you with skin. I will put breath into you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord. ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭37:4-6‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of his own, so that you may proclaim the virtues of the one who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. You once were not a people, but now you are God’s people. You were shown no mercy, but now you have received mercy. 1 Peter 2:9-10 (NET) Yes, I have called and saved you. I have given you my power to reach and touch others. You are unique, filled with the dreams I have given to direct you. Rely upon what I have placed within you and not upon what your natural eyes show. Listen for me to move your heart, to whisper my ways. Be alert for my direction.

Pause… and listen. I am guiding you this very day. It’s easier to get where you need be going, if you have the key I have for you.

May God be merciful and bless us. May his face smile with favor on us. Interlude May your ways be known throughout the earth, your saving power among people everywhere. May the nations praise you, O God. Yes, may all the nations praise you. Let the whole world sing for joy, because you govern the nations with justice and guide the people of the whole world. Interlude ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭67:1-4‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

Meanwhile Jacob left Beer Sheba and set out for Haran. He reached a certain place where he decided to camp because the sun had gone down. He took one of the stones and placed it near his head. Then he fell asleep in that place and had a dream. He saw a stairway erected on the earth with its top reaching to the heavens. The angels of God were going up and coming down it and the Lord stood at its top. He said, “I am the Lord, the God of your grandfather Abraham and the God of your father Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the ground you are lying on. Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west, east, north, and south. All the families of the earth will pronounce blessings on one another using your name and that of your descendants. I am with you! I will protect you wherever you go and will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I promised you! ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭28:10-15‬ ‭(NET‬‬)

I have created all that you see and the unseen world. My breath created you. I know your thoughts and actions before you take them. I whisper directions so you might hear what I have for you to accomplish. Each day I reveal myself to you. Each day I reach out and nudge you onto my path. Look about and you will find me. My words will sustain you.

Don’t judge by what you initially think you see. Quiet yourself and remove your blinders. I am there. In this season, watch for what I am implanting within you. Expect growth, but not as you may expect it. I am bringing about my ways.

Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere. ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6:18‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) If you wish to find change, you must allow me to wash over you. I will cleanse and direct you. Draw near to me so you might hear my heart.

Whatever you find to do with your hands, do it with all your might, because there is neither work nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom in the grave, the place where you will eventually go. Ecclesiastes 9:10 (NET)

I was on my way to Kroger market when I was reminded that I had ignored the penny found just the previous day. I had asked Him, that day if I were on the right track, as I felt clueless/lifeless as to my ways and Him. At the check-out, there was awaiting for me, three quarters in the change bowl. It was more food for thought. Upon inspection, it was a very clean/shiny 1998 penny. It did cause me to think back to the year and what I was doing in seeking Him. I did then hear Him say. Watch for the clues. Examine the times that I show you. Be assured I will guide you into the way I have for you.

God springs into action! His enemies scatter; his adversaries run from him. As smoke is driven away by the wind, so you drive them away. As wax melts before fire, so the wicked are destroyed before God. But the godly are happy; they rejoice before God and are overcome with joy. Sing to God! Sing praises to his name! Exalt the one who rides on the clouds! For the Lord is his name! Rejoice before him! He is a father to the fatherless and an advocate for widows. God rules from his holy palace. God settles those who have been deserted in their own homes; he frees prisoners and grants them prosperity. But sinful rebels live in the desert. O God, when you lead your people into battle, when you march through the desert, (Selah) the earth shakes, yes, the heavens pour down rain before God, the God of Sinai, before God, the God of Israel. O God, you cause abundant showers to fall on your chosen people. When they are tired, you sustain them, ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭68:1-9‬ ‭(NET‬‬)

Focus upon my Word. Wash away the distractions which keep you occupied. Soak yourself in me. Allow me to bring cleansing. My Word is truth and life. Chew upon it each day. Measure your thoughts and ways upon what it says. I clear away the lies and confusion the enemy sows Pause in my presence and allow my Word to fill and change you. I looked for a man from among them who would repair the wall and stand in the gap before me on behalf of the land, so that I would not destroy it, but I found no one. ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭22:30‬ ‭(NET‬‬)

Jesus replied, I tell you the solemn truth, you are looking for me not because you saw miraculous signs, but because you ate all the loaves of bread you wanted. Do not work for the food that disappears, but for the food that remains to eternal life – the food which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has put his seal of approval on him. John 6:26-27 (NET)

I have known you since the beginning. You have my attributes. Believe when I speak to you. Be moved with my love. I will refresh and fill you with what is needed to reach others. Learn to rely upon me. I will show you more. I will accomplish my will thru you.

The next day the crowd that remained on the other side of the lake realized that only one small boat had been there, and that Jesus had not boarded it with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone. But some boats from Tiberias came to shore near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks. So when the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and came to Capernaum looking for Jesus. ‭‭John‬ ‭6:22-24‬ ‭(NET‬‬)

You ask for many things, but do you know what is it you are seeking? Know my heart. It is for you, you are my creation. Seek the things I place in your heart. Don’t allow the enemy to steal them away. Ask and keep on asking and it will be given to you; seek and keep on seeking and you will find; knock and keep on knocking and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who keeps on asking receives, and he who keeps on seeking finds, and to him who keeps on knocking, it will be opened. Matthew 7:7-8 (AMP)

Open your heart and I will fill you with my ways Open your mouth and allow me to fill it my word of revelation. Eat my Word. Allow it to flow through you. It will direct and change your heart. Yes, you are loved. Open your heart and receive.

Stand secure Stand, receive the blessing I have for you. I am refilling you and refueling you for my work. My Spirit covered over you as a blanket of protection, to be shared as I direct you. Stand secure in me for I am leading you.

For every high priest is taken from among the people and appointed to represent them before God, to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins. He is able to deal compassionately with those who are ignorant and erring, since he also is subject to weakness, and for this reason he is obligated to make sin offerings for himself as well as for the people. And no one assumes this honor on his own initiative, but only when called to it by God, as in fact Aaron was. Hebrews 5:1-4 (NET)

I have set things before you. Allow me to bring them into proper focus. I will open your heart more fully to my ways of measurement. I will open your ears to hear beyond the words, but in my Spirit. Don’t rush your decisions. As I watched, I noticed a windstorm coming from the north – an enormous cloud, with lightning flashing, such that bright light rimmed it and came from it like glowing amber f rom the middle of a fire. In the fire were what looked like four living beings. In their appearance they had human form, but each had four faces and four wings. Their legs were straight, but the soles of their feet were like calves’ feet. They gleamed like polished bronze. They had human hands under their wings on their four sides. As for the faces and wings of the four of them, their wings touched each other; they did not turn as they moved, but went straight ahead. Their faces had this appearance: Each of the four had the face of a man, with the face of a lion on the right, the face of an

Let us carefully examine our ways, and let us return to the Lord. Let us lift up our hearts and our hands to God in heaven: “We have blatantly rebelled; you have not forgiven.” You shrouded yourself with anger and then pursued us; you killed without mercy. You shrouded yourself with a cloud so that no prayer can get through. You make us like filthy scum in the estimation of the nations. Tears flow from my eyes and will not stop; there will be no break until the Lord looks down from heaven and sees what has happened. ‭‭Lamentations‬ ‭3:40-45, 49-50‬ (‭NET )

For this reason we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away from it. For if the word spoken through angels proved unalterable, and every transgression and disobedience received a just penalty, how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? After it was at the first spoken through the Lord, it was confirmed to us by those who heard, God also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders and by various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will. Hebrews 2:1-4 (NASB )

Be my sign and I will write my ways upon your heart. I will place you where you are called. Heed my ways and I will wash over you with the colours of my palette.

What do you hear when you listen for me? Remove the distractions and aspirations and settle in with me. Draw closer and hear me beath life into you. Allow me to clean away the grief of life, those hurdles and attacks of the enemy releases. Wash yourself in the waters of my Word.

Have you ever had a dream or promise from God? It was one that really encouraged you, but that was then …and now when you rethink it the excitement has ebbed. You now just laugh knowing the time has long passed. Well I have a story you should review for yourself. It’s in Genesis chapter 18, the story of promise that seemed to never occur. But one day… God declares to you now, “Remember the dream. I am bringing in the harvest. My words and promises are true. What I have said is coming to pass.”

Come on! Let’s return to the Lord! He himself has torn us to pieces, but he will heal us! He has injured us, but he will bandage our wounds! He will restore us in a very short time; he will heal us in a little while, so that we may live in his presence. So let us acknowledge him! Let us seek to acknowledge the Lord! He will come to our rescue as certainly as the appearance of the dawn, as certainly as the winter rain comes, as certainly as the spring rain that waters the land. Hosea 6:1-3 (NET)

Just as the sun rises in the east, so my heart Is upon my people. Know my plans for you are unchanged. Draw near. Allow me to cleanse you from the junk the enemy would put upon you. Don’t rush by, but dwell with me. I am what you are seeking.

The Lord reigns! The nations tremble. He sits enthroned above the winged angels; the earth shakes. The Lord is elevated in Zion; he is exalted over all the nations. Let them praise your great and awesome name! He is holy! The king is strong; he loves justice. You ensure that legal decisions will be made fairly; you promote justice and equity in Jacob. Praise the Lord our God! Worship before his footstool! He is holy! Moses and Aaron were among his priests; Samuel was one of those who prayed to him. They prayed to the Lord and he answered them. He spoke to them from a pillar of cloud; they obeyed his regulations and the ordinance he gave them. O Lord our God, you answered them. They found you to be a forgiving God, but also one who punished their sinful deeds. Praise the Lord our God! Worship on his holy hill, for the Lord our God is holy! ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭99:1-9‬ (‭NET‬‬)

Don’t be afraid, for I am with you! Don’t be frightened, for I am your God! I strengthen you – yes, I help you – yes, I uphold you with my saving right hand! ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭41:10‬ (‭NET‬‬) Don't react in fear. Despite what the enemy places before you, I am yet in control. Come to me and receive healing and peace, Cast aside those reactions the enemy would feed you and set yourself in me. Seek me and my ways will guide you.

Open the gates so a righteous nation can enter – one that remains trustworthy. You keep completely safe the people who maintain their faith, for they trust in you. Trust in the Lord from this time forward, even in Yah, the Lord, an enduring protector! Isaiah 26:2-4 (NET) Don’t let the noise of this world distract you from me. It’s demands and laziness call out to you. Resist them. Worship me. Sit with me in my presence and silence your internal busyness. Allow my covering to guide and direct you into what I have for you to share with others. Become what I have placed within you.

Don’t give up. My plans for you have not changed. Let me draw near and strengthen you.

While in the natural, the season may seem that it is ending, things are in constant change. So it is with you. I am sending change for you. Do not fret. You are leaving one season and moving into another. I will use you in new ways and higher levels as you grow in me. I will fill you and let you touch those I place in your pathway. While natural things change, it is not so with me. I am unchanged. My love is everlasting.

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for, being convinced of what we do not see. For by it the people of old received God’s commendation. By faith we understand that the worlds were set in order at God’s command, so that the visible has its origin in the invisible. By faith Abel offered God a greater sacrifice than Cain, and through his faith he was commended as righteous, because God commended him for his offerings. And through his faith he still speaks, though he is dead. By faith Enoch was taken up so that he did not see death, and he was not to be found because God took him up. For before his removal he had been commended as having pleased God. Now without faith it is impossible to please him, for the one who approaches God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. By faith Noah, when he was warned about things not yet seen, with reverent regard constructed an ark for the deliverance of his family. Through faith he condemned the world and became an heir

For you have taken refuge in the Lord, my shelter, the sovereign One. No harm will overtake you; no illness will come near your home. For he will order his angels to protect you in all you do. They will lift you up in their hands, so you will not slip and fall on a stone. You will subdue a lion and a snake; you will trample underfoot a young lion and a serpent. The Lord says, “Because he is devoted to me, I will deliver him; I will protect him because he is loyal to me. When he calls out to me, I will answer him. I will be with him when he is in trouble; I will rescue him and bring him honor. I will satisfy him with long life, and will let him see my salvation. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭91:9-16‬ ‭(NET‬‬)

O Lord, the heavens praise your amazing deeds, as well as your faithfulness in the angelic assembly. For who in the skies can compare to the Lord? Who is like the Lord among the heavenly beings, a God who is honored in the great angelic assembly, and more awesome than all who surround him? O Lord, sovereign God! Who is strong like you, O Lord? Your faithfulness surrounds you. You rule over the proud sea. When its waves surge, you calm them. You crushed the Proud One and killed it; with your strong arm you scattered your enemies. The heavens belong to you, as does the earth. You made the world and all it contains. You created the north and the south. Tabor and Hermon rejoice in your name. Your arm is powerful, your hand strong, your right hand victorious. Equity and justice are the foundation of your throne. Loyal love and faithfulness characterize your rule. How blessed are the people who worship you! O Lord, they experience your favor. They rejoice in your name all day long, and are v

Don’t allow fear to influence you. It is not of me. Don’t hide or be ashamed, but seek me. Come before my presence and be healed. Release what is holding onto you and step into my creative love. Allow me to breath my life into your life and situations. Become my beacon of light in the coming darkness.

The Lord said, “I have made a covenant with my chosen one; I have made a promise on oath to David, my servant: ‘I will give you an eternal dynasty and establish your throne throughout future generations.’” (Selah) O Lord, the heavens praise your amazing deeds, as well as your faithfulness in the angelic assembly. For who in the skies can compare to the Lord? Who is like the Lord among the heavenly beings, a God who is honored in the great angelic assembly, and more awesome than all who surround him? Psalms‬ ‭89:3-7 (NET‬‬}

Do you think you know me? Are you familiar ways and my Word? Are you filled with my peace? Allow me to fill you to overflowing. My oil is available. Come stand before me. It’s cost has been paid.

Father, You are holy. Forgive my attitude towards others and situations. I ask for your clear direction within my life. Draw me to you and those you place within my pathway.

Hear the word of the Lord, you nations; proclaim it in distant coastlands: ‘He who scattered Israel will gather them and will watch over his flock like a shepherd.’ For the Lord will deliver Jacob and redeem them from the hand of those stronger than they. They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion; they will rejoice in the bounty of the Lord— the grain, the new wine and the olive oil, the young of the flocks and herds. They will be like a well-watered garden, and they will sorrow no more. Then young women will dance and be glad, young men and old as well. I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow. I will satisfy the priests with abundance, and my people will be filled with my bounty,” declares the Lord.” Jeremiah 31:10-14 (NIV)

For I know what I have planned for you,’ says the Lord. ‘I have plans to prosper you, not to harm you. I have plans to give you a future filled with hope. When you call out to me and come to me in prayer, I will hear your prayers. When you seek me in prayer and worship, you will find me available to you. If you seek me with all your heart and soul, I will make myself available to you,’ says the Lord. ‘ Then I will reverse your plight and will regather you from all the nations and all the places where I have exiled you,’ says the Lord. ‘I will bring you back to the place from which I exiled you.’” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭29:11-14‬ ‭(NET‬‬) But the aim of our instruction is love that comes from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith. Some have strayed from these and turned away to empty discussion. They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not understand what they are saying or the things they insist on so confidently.” ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭1:5-7‬ ‭(NET‬‬)

Do not be distracted, but wait for me. Do not move ahead with your own plans. Wait with me. Listen to my heart. Allow your wounds to heal. Be strengthened in me. I will send my healing ways, if you follow my direction. Wait for me, allowing my peace to become your guide.

  Loyal love and faithfulness meet; deliverance and peace greet each other with a kiss. Faithfulness grows from the ground, and deliverance looks down from the sky. Yes, the Lord will bestow his good blessings, and our land will yield its crops. Deliverance goes before him, and prepares a pathway for him. Psalms 85:10-13 (NET)

Wait. Quiet your internal noise, so you may hear me. Watch, I AM in front of you, leading your way. I am the eternal, never-changing one. Cast your insecurities to me. Trust in me; Trust in my ways and direction.

The LORD says,  “I have heard what those prophets who are prophesying lies in my name are saying. They are saying, ‘I have had a dream! I have had a dream!’  Those prophets are just prophesying lies. They are prophesying the delusions of their own minds. How long will they go on plotting to make my people forget who I am through the dreams they tell one another?  That is just as bad as what their ancestors did when they forgot who I am  by worshiping the god Baal. Let the prophet who has had a dream go ahead and tell his dream. Let the person who has received my message report that message faithfully. What is like straw cannot compare to what is like grain! I, the LORD, affirm it! My message is like a fire that purges dross!  It is like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces! I, the LORD, so affirm it! So I, the LORD, affirm  that I am opposed to those prophets who steal messages from one another that they claim are from me. I, the LORD, AFFIRM that I am opposed to those prophets  who

  Awaken to who you are in me. Stand up. Let your voice be heard. Allow my compassion to flow from you.

And we urge you, brothers and sisters, admonish the undisciplined, comfort the discouraged, help the weak, be patient toward all. See that no one pays back evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good for one another and for all. Always rejoice, constantly pray, in everything give thanks. For this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. Do not extinguish the Spirit Do not treat prophecies with contempt. But examine all things; hold fast to what is good. Stay away from every form of evil. ‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5:14-22‬ ‭(NET‬‬)

I have given you my Word. I’ve sent those before you to proclaim and demonstrate my heart. Open your eyes and your heart. Allow me to establish myself       within your life. Allow my ways to establish you and become your ways. Do not be caught by surprise. Judgement will come. Allow me to be your covering. Come beneath my wings so that you are safe within me. I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in me – and I in him – bears much fruit, because apart from me you can accomplish nothing. If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown out like a branch, and dries up; and such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire, and are burned up. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you want, and it will be done for you. My Father is honored by this, that you bear much fruit and show that you are my disciples. Just as the Father has loved me, I have also loved you; remain in my love. If you obey my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as

O Lord God, invincible warrior, restore us! Smile on us!  Then we will be delivered! ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭80:19‬ (‭NET‬‬)

Do not be distracted by the coming storm, but be grounded in me and my love. Cover yourself in the garment I have provide for you. Be secure in my leading. Follow the way I shall show you.

I repeat, be strong and brave! Don’t be afraid and don’t panic, for I, the Lord your God, am with you in all you do. ‭‭Joshua‬ ‭1:9‬ (‭NET‬‬)

He went into a cave there and spent the night. All of a sudden the Lord spoke to him, “Why are you here, Elijah?” He answered, “I have been absolutely loyal to the Lord, the sovereign God, even though the Israelites have abandoned the agreement they made with you, torn down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I alone am left and now they want to take my life.” The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain before the Lord. Look, the Lord is ready to pass by.” A very powerful wind went before the Lord, digging into the mountain and causing landslides, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the windstorm there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake, there was a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. After the fire, there was a soft whisper. 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 19:9-14a

Let me clean your wounds and fill you with my ways. Come out from your hiding and let me see you. I will give you rest and a purpose. Allow my presence to bring your healing. I have called you to speak for me, to demonstrate my love. Draw closer and you will find me, right before you, smiling.
