  Do not become distracted, but keep your focus upon me. The further away you are from an object, the more difficult it is to focus upon it. Other objects can obscure the vision. You may find yourself steadfastly viewing  them and lose the focus you need to survive. Don't distance yourself, but draw closer. But for us, There is one God, the Father, by whom all things were created, and for whom we live. And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things were created, and through whom we live. 1 Corinthians 8:6 (NLT)

This is the account of the creation of the heavens and the earth. When the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, neither wild plants nor grains were growing on the earth. For the Lord God had not yet sent rain to water the earth, and there were no people to cultivate the soil. Instead, springs came up from the ground and watered all the land. Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person. Then the Lord God planted a garden in Eden in the east, and there he placed the man he had made. The Lord God made all sorts of trees grow up from the ground— trees that were beautiful and that produced delicious fruit. In the middle of the garden he placed the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The Lord God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it. But the Lord God warned him, “You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden— except th

I am the light. Without me you walk in darkness. Caught in the enemies’ web of confusion lies death. I am the hope which brings life. I am the ultimate sacrifice, displayed for the world, and yet resurrected. Come into my light and find who you are, accepted and forgiven.

For I am the Lord your God, who stirs up the sea, causing its waves to roar. My name is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. And I have put my words in your mouth and hidden you safely in my hand. I stretched out the sky like a canopy and laid the foundations of the earth. I am the one who says to Israel, ‘You are my people!’ ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭51:15-16‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) So pay attention to how you hear. To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given. But for those who are not listening, even what they think they understand will be taken away from them. ‭‭Luke‬ ‭8:18‬ (‭NLT‬‬)

I am with you. Watch for what is changing around you. Be ready to step through. Fear not, I will guide your steps. Do not be discouraged, but rest in me. I am ever-present. I am ever-moving things which are yet unseen.

  “I am the Lord; that is my name! I will not give my glory to anyone else, nor share my praise with carved idols. Everything I prophesied has come true, and now I will prophesy again. I will tell you the future before it happens.” Isaiah 42:8-9 (NLT)   As Jesus and the disciples approached Jerusalem, they came to the town of Bethphage on the Mount of Olives. Jesus sent two of them on ahead. “Go into the village over there,” he said. “As soon as you enter it, you will see a donkey tied there, with its colt beside it. Untie them and bring them to me.   If anyone asks what you are doing, just say,  ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will immediately let you take them.” This took place to fulfill the prophecy that said,” Matthew 21:1-4 ( NLT )

Sing a new song to the Lord! Let the whole earth sing to the Lord! Sing to the Lord; praise his name. Each day proclaim the good news that he saves. Psalms 96:1-2 (NLT) Sing a new song to the Lord! Sing his praises from the ends of the earth! Sing, all you who sail the seas, all you who live in distant coastlands. Join in the chorus, you desert towns; let the villages of Kedar rejoice! Let the people of Sela sing for joy; shout praises from the mountaintops! Let the whole world glorify the Lord; let it sing his praise. Isaiah 42:10-12 (NLT)

Are you ready? I have more for you. Yes, I have more for those who are hungry. I have more for you to share with others. I am ready to stretch you and mold you into a new vessel. Are you prepared to carry more of me? Be filled and follow as my spirit leads. Be ready to follow my voice.

  Rise up, O God, and scatter your enemies. Let those who hate God run for their lives. Blow them away like smoke. Melt them like wax in a fire. Let the wicked perish in the presence of God. But let the godly rejoice. Let them be glad in God’s presence. Let them be filled with joy. Sing praises to God and to his name! Sing loud praises to him who rides the clouds. His name is the Lord — rejoice in his presence! Psalms 68:1-4 (NLT)

I will instruct and teach you about how you should live. I will advise you as I look you in the eye. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭32:8‬ ‭(NET)

Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place; and there was a large crowd of His disciples, and a great throng of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon, who had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were being cured. And all the people were trying to touch Him, for power was coming from Him and healing them all.  ‭‭Luke‬ ‭6:17-19‬ ‭(NASB1995‬‬)

It’s time for an adjustment in your thinking. I want you begin to realize my heart and my ways for you. Let me feed you with spiritual food. I have things to show you and places to take you. It is time for you to come into agreement with my heart for you. It is time for healing of wounds and ill feelings. Ask me and expect to find answers. Become more familiar with my living Word, allowing it to saturate with mind and heart. Now is the opportunity for adjusting yourself to the TRUTH.

Come! Listen, all you who are loyal to God! I will declare what he has done for me. I cried out to him for help and praised him with my tongue. If I had harbored sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. However, God heard; he listened to my prayer. God deserves praise, for he did not reject my prayer or abandon his love for me! Psalms 66:16-20 NET As the sun went down that evening, people throughout the village brought sick family members to Jesus. No matter what their diseases were, the touch of his hand healed every one. Many were possessed by demons; and the demons came out at his command, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” But because they knew he was the Messiah, he rebuked them and refused to let them speak. ‭‭Luke‬ ‭4:40-41‬ ‭NLT

One day as Jesus was preaching on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, great crowds pressed in on him to listen to the word of God. He noticed two empty boats at the water’s edge, for the fishermen had left them and were washing their nets. Stepping into one of the boats, Jesus asked Simon, its owner, to push it out into the water. So he sat in the boat and taught the crowds from there. When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Now go out where it is deeper, and let down your nets to catch some fish.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭5:1-4‬ (‭NLT)‬‬ It's time to let down your nets into the waters you frequent. Do not hesitate Or argue with reason, but be found doing that which is spoken into your heart.

In my walks with Father-God this past weekend I’d ask if there was any coins/change for me to find. Disappointedly I found none. This Monday morning on a walk I was rewarded with a new-looking penny. It was a 2021. I gratefully picked it up and said “thanks”. Look around you, for I am ever with you. Listen for me and I will tell you where to go. I will be there waiting to greet you. I will supply what you need.

My child, don’t lose sight of common sense and discernment. Hang on to them, ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3:21‬( NLT)‬‬ Then the LORD again appeared in Shiloh, for it was in Shiloh that the LORD had revealed himself to Samuel through the word of the LORD. ‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭3:21‬ ‭(NET‬‬) One day when the crowds were being baptized, Jesus himself was baptized. As he was praying, the heavens opened, and the Holy Spirit, in bodily form, descended on him like a dove. And a voice from heaven said, “You are my dearly loved Son, and you bring me great joy. ” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭3:21-22‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Those who are victorious will sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat with my Father on his throne. ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3:21‬ ‭(NLT)  

Samuel continued to grow, and the LORD was with him. None of his prophecies fell to the ground unfulfilled. All Israel from Dan to Beer Sheba realized that Samuel was confirmed as a prophet of the LORD. Then the LORD again appeared in Shiloh, for it was in Shiloh that the LORD had revealed himself to Samuel through the word of the LORD. ‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭3:19-21‬ (‭NET‬‬) Samuel revealed the word of the LORD to all Israel. Then the Israelites went out to fight the Philistines. They camped at Ebenezer, and the Philistines camped at Aphek. ‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭4:1‬ (‭NET‬‬)

You are forgiven. My blood has sanctified you. It is time to stand up. Be seen for I have things for you to be doing. I will place my words in your heart and mind to be released. Be ready.

Awaken me Father. Help me to not only be listening for your voice of direction. Fill and renew me. Guide me in your Spirit. Help me to recognize your ways. Forgive my attitude and not representing your forgiveness. You are HOLY. And the Lord came and called as before, Samuel! Samuel! And Samuel replied, “Speak, your servant is listening. ‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭3:10‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) One day the Lord said to Moses, Climb one of the mountains east of the river, and look out over the land I have given the people of Israel. After you have seen it, you will die like your brother, Aaron, for you both rebelled against my instructions in the wilderness of Zin. When the people of Israel rebelled, you failed to demonstrate my holiness to them at the waters. (These are the waters of Meribah at Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.) ‭‭Numbers‬ ‭27:12-14‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

yet I will rejoice in the Lord! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation! The Sovereign Lord is my strength! He makes me as surefooted as a deer, able to tread upon the heights. (For the choir director: This prayer is to be accompanied by stringed instruments.) Habakkuk 3:18-19 (NLT) There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God’s one and only Son. John 3:18 (NLT) So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit— makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image. 2 Corinthians 3:18 (NLT)

Then I saw a Lamb that looked as if it had been slaughtered, but it was now standing between the throne and the four living beings and among the twenty-four elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which represent the sevenfold Spirit of God that is sent out into every part of the earth. He stepped forward and took the scroll from the right hand of the one sitting on the throne. And when he took the scroll, the four living beings and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp, and they held gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of God’s people. Revelation 5:6-8 (NLT)

Thank you Father, for your patience and kindnesses within my life. Teach me your righteous ways. Guide me into the ways I should be walking. Grant me dreams and visions, experiences with you. I long to again ride and fly with Holy Spirit. Restore that joy of being near you.

And the Spirit of the Lord will rest on him— the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord. Isaiah 11:2 (NLT)

  Listen for me and I will keep you on the right pathway. I will direct and correct. I will bring opportunities to stretch you In the right direct for what I have for you. Do not be in fear that I am gone, for I am ever-present with you.

For this reason every one of your faithful followers should pray to you while there is a window of opportunity. Certainly when the surging water rises, it will not reach them. You are my hiding place; you protect me from distress. You surround me with shouts of joy from those celebrating deliverance. (Selah) I will instruct and teach you about how you should live. I will advise you as I look you in the eye. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭32:6-8‬ ‭(NET‬‬)

It’s time to realize the season I have for you. Slow down and be where I would have you to walk. Slow down and be on time for me to act on behalf of others. Reach out and speak my truth.

Now above the expanse that was over their heads there was something resembling a throne, like lapis lazuli in appearance; and on that which resembled a throne, high up, was a figure with the appearance of a man. Then I noticed from the appearance of His loins and upward something like glowing metal that looked like fire all around within it, and from the appearance of His loins and downward I saw something like fire; and there was a radiance around Him. As the appearance of the rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the surrounding radiance. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell on my face and heard a voice speaking. ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭1:26-28‬ ‭(NASB1995)

Now while Zechariah was serving as priest before God when his division was on duty, he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter the holy place of the Lord and burn incense. Now the whole crowd of people were praying outside at the hour of the incense offering. An angel of the Lord, standing on the right side of the altar of incense, appeared to him. And Zechariah, visibly shaken when he saw the angel, was seized with fear. But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son; you will name him John". ‭‭Luke‬ ‭1:8-13 ‬(NET) Creator Father-God, I thank you for your loving patience with me. Continue to direct my ways, drop those hints so I may understand what it is I am to be learning. You have my attention with the coins. Now open the way for me.

He struggled with an angel and prevailed; he wept and begged for his favor. He found God at Bethel, and there he spoke with him! As for the LORD God Almighty, the LORD is the name by which he is remembered! ‭‭Hosea‬ ‭12:4-5‬ ‭(NET‬‬) Now Moses was shepherding the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the desert and came to the mountain of God, to Horeb. The angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire from within a bush. He looked – and the bush was ablaze with fire, but it was not being consumed! So Moses thought, “I will turn aside to see this amazing sight. Why does the bush not burn up?” When the LORD saw that he had turned aside to look, God called to him from within the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!” And Moses said, “Here I am.”” ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭3:1-4‬ ‭NET This morning I had asked for “something” from God, something which I knew was Him. It was shortly later in line at St Arbucks for a cappuccino I saw a shine object

There is nothing you can do to change my heart about you. Come, sit with me and listen for the sound of my heart for you.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding. Acknowledge him in all your ways, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6 (NET) I heard Father ask, “What do you see?” He said, “To see beyond what is before you in the natural, but to see Him. Watch for what I am doing. Recognize my hand upon time and situation. Speak aloud what are shown in the Spirit. Speak for life and redemption. Speak for what I shall whisper into your consciousness".

Be alert. I am about to reveal myself to you. Awaken yourself to my many ways. I will show myself in your night dreams and those dreams in the day. I will place directions into your mind. You can accomplish what I have for you to do. This was the first time they set out on their journey according to the commandment of the LORD, by the authority of Moses. The standard of the camp of the Judahites set out first according to their companies, Numbers 10:13-14a (NET)

So they traveled from the mountain of the LORD three days’ journey; and the ark of the covenant of the LORD was traveling before them during the three days’ journey, to find a resting place for them. And the cloud of the LORD was over them by day, when they traveled from the camp. And when the ark traveled, Moses would say, “Rise up, O LORD! May your enemies be scattered, And may those who hate you flee before you!” And when it came to rest he would say, “Return, O LORD, to the many thousands of Israel!”” Numbers 10:33-36 (NET) I thank you for this day and all the reminders and remembering you have placed before me. Open my heart and eyes that I might not miss some of what you have for me. Thank you for the placing of cents for me to find.

So Eli said to Samuel, Go back and lie down. When he calls you, say, "Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening". So Samuel went back and lay down in his place. 1 Samuel‬ ‭3:9‬ (‭NET )

So Moses thought, “I will turn aside to see this amazing sight.  Why does the bush not burn up?” When the LORD saw that he had turned aside to look, God called to him from within the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!” And Moses said, “Here I am.”” ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭3:3-4‬ ‭(NET‬‬)

  Now when Moses went into the tent of meeting to speak with the LORD, he heard the voice speaking to him from above the atonement lid that was on the ark of the testimony, from between the two cherubim. Thus he spoke to him. Numbers 7:89 (NET)

Here I am God. There is a void, I sense emptiness. Guide me to my direction. Open my eyes. Help me to be where you have a place for me. Enliven me to be more aware of your presence.

Are you feeling alone or confused? Have you found your proper alignment? Have you identified the family where you should be? Attach yourself to like-minded folks and watch yourself grow fuller in me. The Lord gave Moses and Aaron the following instructions. When the Israelites set up camp, each man will camp under the banner of his division and the flag of his own clan. The camp is to be set up all around the Tent. ‭‭Numbers‬ ‭2:1-2‬ ‭(GNT)‬‬ And I will always guide you and satisfy you with good things. I will keep you strong and well. You will be like a garden that has plenty of water, like a spring of water that never goes dry. Your people will rebuild what has long been in ruins, building again on the old foundations. You will be known as the people who rebuilt the walls, who restored the ruined houses. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭58:11-12‬ ‭(GNT) ‬‬

Jesus said to them, “Have faith in God. I tell you the truth, if someone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. For this reason I tell you, whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven will also forgive you your sins.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭11:22-25‬ ‭(NET)

Do not fear, but take your time with me. Speak your heart, then listen. I have much I want you to hear. There are new things I wish to show you. Draw towards you feel I am leading you and wait there. Allow me to fill you again with my ways of hope and my ways direction. Learn to know me. Allow me to refill you with hope.

Yes, I need you father. I need to learn your way for me. Thank you for your patience and blessings you have covered over me. Help me to walk in the pathway you have for me. Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world. Psalms 46:10 (NLT) When there is no clear prophetic vision, people quickly wander astray. But when you follow the revelation of the Word, heaven’s bliss fills your soul. Proverbs 29:18 (TPT)

Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to keep the lamps burning continually. This is the lampstand that stands in the Tabernacle, in front of the inner curtain that shields the Ark of the Covenant. Aaron must keep the lamps burning in the Lord’s presence all night. This is a permanent law for you, and it must be observed from generation to generation. Aaron and the priests must tend the lamps on the pure gold lampstand continually in the Lord’s presence. ‭‭Leviticus‬ ‭24:2-4‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. ‭‭John‬ ‭1:1‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock. But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn’t obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:24-27‬ ‭(NLT)‬‬ But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like. ‭‭James‬ ‭1:22-24‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)  

I speak my peace into the situations of your life, my peace. Come under my covering of protection. Rest in my ways and I will give direction for you to follow.
