the FireCarrier

Yahweh is my best friend and my shepherd. I always have more than enough. He offers a resting place for me in his luxurious love. His tracks take me to an oasis of peace near the quiet brook of bliss. That’s where he restores and revives my life. He opens before me the right path and leads me along in his footsteps of righteousness so that I can bring honor to his name. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭23:1-3‬ (‭TPT‬‬)  

Don’t be tricked by the plans of the enemy. He wishes it see your suffer and die. In me there is fullness and life. Follow after me. Seek the pathway I have laid out for you. Be continually washed and led by my Spirit. You are of my family. I speak life and wholeness into your situation. Seek me and I will grant direction.

Thank you for you loving patience within my life. Again I am finding small change in my daily walk. Open my eyes to your way for me.

Then a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my dearly loved Son. Listen to him.” Suddenly, when they looked around, Moses and Elijah were gone, and they saw only Jesus with them. ‭‭Mark‬ ‭9:7-8‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

Do not depend upon your feelings, but look to me. Search my words and see what I have said. My words do not change, for I am Truth. Rest in me, I am your strength. In all you do search for me, for I am there. But when the truth-giving Spirit comes, he will unveil the reality of every truth within you. He won’t speak on his own, but only what he hears from the Father, and he will reveal prophetically to you what is to come. He will glorify me on the earth, for he will receive from me what is mine and reveal it to you. ‭‭John‬ ‭16:13-14‬ ‭(TPT‬‬)

Stand firm  for I am with you. You are mine. You carry the name I have given you. You carry the benefits of being in my family, sharing in my ways and wealth. Be brave and courageous. Step forth in new wisdom: Destroy the lies of the enemy and release healing.

Good morning God, I am here again. The hill is before me, melting snow and dirty. I need your direction, not my own. Open my heart and ears to hear what you may say to me. Forgive my appearance, for it is in lack of you. Guide me. It seems like forever since being swept up And away with you. (I hear the sound of the just-passing train) It remains on track and steady.) You are more real and Steadfast than what my physical senses can detect. Within you I am safe and secure.

Go, where you’ve heard me tell you. I will be there with you. Don’t panic, but persevere. Learn to trust my voice. That evening Jesus’ disciples went down to the shore to wait for him. But as darkness fell and Jesus still hadn’t come back, they got into the boat and headed across the lake toward Capernaum. Soon a gale swept down upon them, and the sea grew very rough. They had rowed three or four miles when suddenly they saw Jesus walking on the water toward the boat. They were terrified, but he called out to them, “Don’t be afraid. I am here! ” ‭‭John‬ ‭6:16-20‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

Know without a doubt that I love you. You are special to me, and I have more for you to accomplish. Continue reaching out for me. Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:7-8‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

Then God said,  “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground." So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1:26-27‬ (‭NLT‬‬) I am yet watching over you, my handiwork, my creation. You need not fear. Rest secure in my ways. Be bold and courageous. You have access to all that is mine. Learn to trust me and believe what I've told you. It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to the Most High. It is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning, your faithfulness in the evening, ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭92:1-2‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

After that, Aaron raised his hands toward the people and blessed them. Then, after presenting the sin offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offering, he stepped down from the altar. Then Moses and Aaron went into the Tabernacle, and when they came  back out, they blessed the people again, and the glory of the Lord appeared to the whole community. Fire blazed forth from the Lord’s presence and consumed the burnt offering and the fat on the altar. When the people saw this, they shouted with joy and fell face down on the ground. ‭‭Leviticus‬ ‭9:22-24‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

If you listen,  you can hear the rumbling. My plan remains in place. My spoken word goes forth, transforming. It brings healings and peace to those who know me. Call out and listen for me. See if I will not answer you. See if I will bring healing. Zacchaeus quickly climbed down and took Jesus to his house in great excitement and joy. But the people were displeased. “He has gone to be the guest of a notorious sinner,” they grumbled.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭19:6-7‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land. ‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭7:14‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

As I was driving in this frigid morning I saw a rainbow in the sky. It seemed as if everywhere I would turn to get to my destination the rainbow was in front of me. Then God said, “I am giving you a sign of my covenant with you and with all living creatures, for all generations to come. I have placed my rainbow in the clouds.  It is the sign of my covenant with you and with all the earth. ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭9:12-13‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) All around him was a glowing halo, like a rainbow shining in the clouds  on a rainy day. This is what the glory of the Lord looked like to me.  When I saw it,I fell face down on the ground, and  I heard someone’s voice speaking to me. ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭1:28‬ (‭NLT‬‬) Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven,  surrounded by a cloud, with a rainbow over his head.  His face shone like the sun,  and his feet were like pillars of fire. ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭10:1‬ ‭(NLT)‬‬  

Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out and touched him. “I am willing,” he said. “Be healed!” Instantly the leprosy disappeared, and the man was healed. ‭‭Mark‬ ‭1:41-42‬ (‭NLT‬‬)

Next Moses placed the washbasin between the Tabernacle and the altar. He filled it with water so the priests could wash themselves. Moses and Aaron and Aaron’s sons used water from it to wash their hands and feet. Whenever they approached the altar and entered the Tabernacle, they washed themselves, just as the Lord had commanded Moses. ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭40:30-32‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Have you ever noted all the description and specific size/measurement for the pieces within and outside of the tabernacle? Moses was given specific direction for each, all but the wash basin. A place of unmeasured size and capacity for sin to be washed away.

Place your trust in me. My words will not fail you. When I spoke the world into existence, I already had a plan for you. I have gone before to light the way. I have taken a position of protection as you move throughout life. You are mine. Call upon my name. Speak forth life, dispelling the fear which would overwhelm the world. There is no failure, place your trust in me.

The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right; his ears are open to their cries for help. But the Lord turns his face against those who do evil; he will erase their memory from the earth. The Lord hears his people when they call to him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles. T he Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭34:15-18‬ ‭(NLT‬‬ )

This morning I heard the sound of a wedding band rolling on the floor. I reached down and put on the ring without thinking. It was a perfect fit. It was interesting, as where I was sitting was carpeted.  There would be no “sound”. I did not “look” for the ring or at the ring,  I just picked it up and placed in on my finger without looking at it. It has gotten my attention this day.

But the Lord watches over those who fear him, those who rely on his unfailing love. He rescues them from death and keeps them alive in times of famine. We put our hope in the Lord. He is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord, for our hope is in you alone. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭33:18-22‬ ‭(NLT) ‬‬

I ask for your forgiveness. Help become what you see for me. Open my eyes and soften my crustiness. Allow me to see what you wish me to see and walk in that direction. Wash me in your spirit of holiness. Conforming me to your image.

Secret things belong to the LORD our God, but those that are revealed belong to us and our descendants forever, so that we might obey all the words of this law. ‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭29:29‬ (‭NET)

The Lord says,  “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you. Do not be like a senseless horse or mule that needs a bit and bridle to keep it under control.” Many sorrows come to the wicked, but unfailing love surrounds those who trust the Lord. So rejoice in the Lord and be glad, all you who obey him! Shout for joy, all you whose hearts are pure!” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭32:8-11‬ (‭NLT)

Quiet yourself.  Look about. I am there. Let me heal you. Allow my way to cover and protect. Sit in my presence, listen to my words .

How great is the goodness you have stored up for those who fear you. You lavish it on those who come to you for protection, blessing them before the watching world. You hide them in the shelter of your presence, safe from those who conspire against them. You shelter them in your presence, far from accusing tongues. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭31:19-20‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) As we draw closer to Him, we begin to realize the many times He has protected us. We can look back and see the many times we have been rescued.

Make the chest-piece of a single piece of cloth folded to form a pouch nine inches square. Mount four rows of gemstones on it. The first row will contain a red carnelian, a pale-green peridot, and an emerald. The second row will contain a turquoise, a blue lapis lazuli, and a white moonstone. The third row will contain an orange jacinth, an agate, and a purple amethyst. The fourth row will contain a blue-green beryl, an onyx, and a green jasper. All these stones will be set in gold filigree. Each stone will represent one of the twelve sons of Israel, a nd the name of that tribe will be engraved on it like a seal. ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭28:16-21‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit upon his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered in his presence, and he will separate the people as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will place the sheep at his right hand and the goats at his left. “Then the King will say to thos

I jumped to conclusions and said, “I am cut off from your presence!” But you heard my plea for mercy when I cried out to you for help. Love the LORD, all you faithful followers of his! The LORD protects those who have integrity, but he pays back in full the one who acts arrogantly. Be strong and confident, all you who wait on the LORD! ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭31:22-24‬ (‭NET‬‬) The LORD said to his people: “You are standing at the crossroads. So consider your path. Ask where the old, reliable paths are. Ask where the path is that leads to blessing and follow it. If you do, you will find rest for your souls.” But they said, “We will not follow it!”” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭6:16‬ ‭(NET)

The time promised by God has come at last! he announced. The Kingdom of God is near! Repent of your sins and believe the Good News! Mark 1:15 (NLT)

Then God said, “Let the waters swarm with fish and other life. Let the skies be filled with birds of every kind.” So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that scurries and swarms in the water, and every sort of bird— each producing offspring of the same kind. And God saw that it was good. Then God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply. Let the fish fill the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth.” And evening passed and morning came, marking the fifth day. ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1:20-23‬ ‭(NLT) What is your day-5 fruit? What is daily multiplying to affect your environment?

On the morning of the third day, thunder roared and lightning flashed, and a dense cloud came down on the mountain. There was a long, loud blast from a ram’s horn, and all the people trembled. Moses led them out from the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain. All of Mount Sinai was covered with smoke because the Lord had descended on it in the form of fire. The smoke billowed into the sky like smoke from a brick kiln, and the whole mountain shook violently. As the blast of the ram’s horn grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God thundered his reply. The Lord came down on the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the top of the mountain. So Moses climbed the mountain. ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭19:16-20‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) At noon, darkness fell across the whole land until three o’clock. At about three o’clock, Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” which means “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?” Some of the bystanders misunderstood and thought

And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because it was the day when he rested from all his work of creation. ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭2:3‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) I am there with you. I will never leave you. Look in the common places. I am there. See me in the morning sunrise or the evening sunset. Watch for me in your daily walk or as you fill the dishwasher. I am ever-present, awaiting for you to draw closer.

Everything I prophesied has come true, and now I will prophesy again. I will tell you the future before it happens. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭42:9‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Learn to trust those things I tell you. I have more to tell and show you. Believe and grow in me.

Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭2:1‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) The angel of the Lord went up from Gilgal to Bokim and said, “I brought you up out of Egypt and led you into the land I swore to give to your ancestors.  I  said, ‘I will never break my  covenant with you,” ‭‭Judges‬ ‭2:1‬ ‭(NIV) When the Lord was about to take Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were traveling from Gilgal. ‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭2:1‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) “Stand up, son of man,” said the voice. “I want to speak with you.” ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭2:1‬ (‭NLT) Sound the trumpet in Jerusalem! Raise the alarm on my holy mountain! Let everyone tremble in fear because the day of the Lord is upon us. ‭‭Joel‬ ‭2:1‬ ‭(NLT)‬‬ Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from inside the fish. ‭‭Jonah‬ ‭2:1‬ ‭(NLT) 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. ‭‭Habakkuk‬ ‭2:1‬ ‭(NLT)‬‬ When I looked again, I saw a m

Look about you. I am there. I disclose myself in many ways. My timing has not changed or disrupted. My plan is yet intact. You are my creation. Do not become discouraged by what you feel or what you see in the natural. I have much for you to yet accomplish. Continue in me. I am yet before you. Meanwhile, the fire on the altar must be kept burning; it must never go out. Each morning the priest will add fresh wood to the fire and arrange the burnt offering on it. Leviticus 6:12a (NLT)
