the FireCarrier

Don’t feel lost, but come into alignment with my Word, as it never changes or reacts. Awaken your heart to what I say and you will find the pathway Examine your inner reactions and motives in the love I have for you.

At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of the virgins were foolish, and five were wise. When the foolish ones took their lamps, they did not take extra olive oil with them. But the wise ones took flasks of olive oil with their lamps. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭25:1-4‬ ‭(NET‬‬)

Take care of what you are listening. Is it me, or your enemy, the evil one? He comes to kill and destroy your joy. IF he could he’d ever-separate you from me. Listen for me and my guiding ways. I’ll whisper the direction necessary. I protect those who call upon my name. Do not be anxious about anything. Instead, in every situation, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, tell your requests to God. And the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:6-7‬ ‭(NET ‬‬)

And do not make God's Holy Spirit sad; for the Spirit is God's mark of ownership on you, a guarantee that the Day will come when God will set you free. Ephesians 4:30 (GNT)

The Price has been Paid Sometimes I hide myself, right there in plain sight. If you are watching, you will find me. You will need more of my ways to get your attention, so you might reach others with what I’ve already placed within you. Don’t hesitate but reach down and pick up what I have for you. Awaken to the value planted deep within. You are of great value.

This is what the Lord says: “At the time I decide to show my favor, I will respond to you; in the day of deliverance I will help you; I will protect you and make you a covenant mediator for people, to rebuild the land and to reassign the desolate property. You will say to the prisoners, ‘Come out,’ and to those who are in dark dungeons, ‘Emerge.’ They will graze beside the roads; on all the slopes they will find pasture. They will not be hungry or thirsty; the sun’s oppressive heat will not beat down on them, for one who has compassion on them will guide them; he will lead them to springs of water. I will make all my mountains into a road; I will construct my roadways.” Look, they come from far away! Look, some come from the north and west, and others from the land of Sinim! Shout for joy, O sky! Rejoice, O earth! Let the mountains give a joyful shout! For the Lord consoles his people and shows compassion to the oppressed. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭49:8-13‬ ‭(NET‬‬)

For this is what the Lord says, the one who created the sky – he is the true God, the one who formed the earth and made it; he established it, he did not create it without order, he formed it to be inhabited – “I am the Lord, I have no peer. I have not spoken in secret, in some hidden place. I did not tell Jacob’s descendants, ‘Seek me in vain!’ I am the Lord, the one who speaks honestly, who makes reliable announcements. Gather together and come! Approach together, you refugees from the nations! Those who carry wooden idols know nothing, those who pray to a god that cannot deliver. Tell me! Present the evidence! Let them consult with one another! Who predicted this in the past? Who announced it beforehand? Was it not I, the Lord? I have no peer, there is no God but me, a God who vindicates and delivers; there is none but me.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭45:18-21‬ ‭(NET‬‬ )

On the last day of the feast, the greatest day, Jesus stood up and shouted out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me, and let the one who believes in me drink. Just as the scripture says, ‘From within him will flow rivers of living water.’”” ‭‭John‬ ‭7:37-38‬ ‭(NET‬‬)

Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to the other side, while he dispersed the crowds. And after he sent the crowds away, he went up the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone. Meanwhile the boat, already far from land, was taking a beating from the waves because the wind was against it. As the night was ending, Jesus came to them walking on the sea. When the disciples saw him walking on the water they were terrified and said, “It’s a ghost!” and cried out with fear. But immediately Jesus spoke to them: “Have courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.” Matthew 14:22-27 NET Are you ready? Are you prepared for what I wish to do through you? Empty yourself of expectation. Lower your ambition and allow yourself to be filled with me. Let my love flow from you.

You, my servant Israel, Jacob whom I have chosen, offspring of Abraham my friend, you whom I am bringing back from the earth’s extremities, and have summoned from the remote regions – I told you, “You are my servant.” I have chosen you and not rejected you. 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! Look, all who were angry at you will be ashamed and humiliated; your adversaries will be reduced to nothing and perish. When you will look for your opponents, you will not find them; your enemies will be reduced to absolutely nothing. For I am the Lord your God, the one who takes hold of your right hand, who says to you, ‘Don’t be afraid, I am helping you.’ Don’t be afraid, despised insignificant Jacob, men of Israel. I am helping you,” says the Lord, your protector, the Holy One of Israel. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭41:8-14‬ ‭(NET‬‬)

If sometimes the cloud remained from evening until morning, when the cloud was lifted in the morning, they would move out; or if it remained in the daytime and at night, whenever the cloud was lifted, they would set out. Whether it was two days or a month or a year that the cloud lingered over the tabernacle, staying above it, the sons of Israel remained camped and did not set out; but when it was lifted, they did set out. Numbers 9:21-22 (NASB) Hunger for me. Feed upon the Word of life and I will fill you. Look for me in the opportunities I place along your pathways. You were created in my image and formed with my Word.

Samuel replied to Saul, “I am the seer! Go up in front of me to the high place! Today you will eat with me and in the morning I will send you away. I will tell you everything that you are thinking. Don’t be concerned about the donkeys that you lost three days ago, for they have been found. Whom does all Israel desire? Is it not you, and all your father’s family?” ‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭9:19-20‬ ‭(NET‬‬)

Follow my way. Do not be caught in familiar, but move forward where I shall show you. I have provided all which you will need.

A thoroughfare will be there – it will be called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not travel on it; it is reserved for those authorized to use it – fools will not stray into it. No lions will be there, no ferocious wild animals will be on it – they will not be found there. Those delivered from bondage will travel on it, those whom the Lord has ransomed will return that way. They will enter Zion with a happy shout. Unending joy will crown them, happiness and joy will overwhelm them; grief and suffering will disappear. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭35:8-10‬ ‭(NET‬‬)

Wash me Father-God Scrub away that which displeases you. I am sorry for my whining and complaining. Open my heart to your direction. Help me to recognize you in my everyday walk. Fill me with the joy of sitting with you. Cleanse my heart so I may know you better. Open my senses to more clearly recognize you.

Do not turn away, but believe in me. I am truth. I have placed my seeds within you. If you follow my leading they will grow. I have placed situations in your pathway so you might grow in me. I have set you in this time so you may grow and be a strengthen for others. You are a part of my plan. Seek me and you will find me.

But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation; and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭9:11-12‬ ‭(NASB1995‬‬)

Thus says the Lord, “Stand by the ways and see and ask for the ancient paths, Where the good way is, and walk in it; And you will find rest for your souls. ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭6:16a‬ ‭(NASB1995‬‬)

The fire on the altar is to be kept burning; it must not go out. Every morning the priest will burn wood on the fire. He is to arrange the burnt offering on the fire and burn the fat portions          from the fellowship offerings on it. Fire must be kept burning on the altar continually; it must not go out. ‭‭Leviticus‬ ‭6:12-13‬ ‭(HCSB) ‬‬

I have come to set you free. I’ve not forgotten my promises, have you? Stand firm on those things. Wait upon me to complete them. Allow me to direct you, to accomplish my pathway for you. Do not be diverted, but seek me each day. Turn aside from the distractions and allow my redemption.

Have mercy on me, O God, because of your loyal love! Because of your great compassion, wipe away my rebellious acts! Wash away my wrongdoing! Cleanse me of my sin! For I am aware of my rebellious acts; I am forever conscious of my sin. Against you – you above all – I have sinned; I have done what is evil in your sight. So you are just when you confront me; you are right when you condemn me. Look, I was guilty of sin from birth, a sinner the moment my mother conceived me. Look, you desire integrity in the inner man; you want me to possess wisdom. Sprinkle me with water and I will be pure; wash me and I will be whiter than snow. Grant me the ultimate joy of being forgiven! May the bones you crushed rejoice! Hide your face from my sins! Wipe away all my guilt! Create for me a pure heart, O God! Renew a resolute spirit within me! Do not reject me! Do not take your Holy Spirit away from me! Let me again experience the joy of your deliverance! Sustain me by giving me the desire to obey! Then

But God is my helper. The Lord keeps me alive! May the evil plans of my enemies be turned against them. Do as you promised and put an end to them. I will sacrifice a voluntary offering to you; I will praise your name, O Lord, for it is good. For you have rescued me from my troubles and helped me to triumph over my enemies. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭54:4-7‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

Listen! The armies of many nations roar like the roaring of the sea. Hear the thunder of the mighty forces as they rush forward like thundering waves. But though they thunder like breakers on a beach, God will silence them, and they will run away. They will flee like chaff scattered by the wind, like a tumbleweed whirling before a storm. In the evening Israel waits in terror, but by dawn its enemies are dead. This is the just reward of those who plunder us, a fitting end for those who destroy us. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭17:12-14‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

Do not listen to the discouragement of shouting or inner condemnation,       but follow after Me and my ways. Hear me clearly and follow upon my leading. Step out and share me. I've placed you in these times not by accident, but as part of my ultimate plan. Continue to seek me and be filled with my Word, in faith of action.

Now, dear brothers and sisters, regarding your question about the special abilities the Spirit gives us. I don’t want you to misunderstand this. You know that when you were still pagans, you were led astray and swept along in worshiping speechless idols. So I want you to know that no one speaking by the Spirit of God will curse Jesus, and no one can say Jesus is Lord, except by the Holy Spirit. There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit is the source of them all. There are different kinds of service, but we serve the same Lord. God works in different ways, but it is the same God who does the work in all of us. A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other. To one person the Spirit gives the ability to give wise advice; to another the same Spirit gives a message of special knowledge. The same Spirit gives great faith to another, and to someone else the one Spirit gives the gift of healing. He gives one person the power to perform miracles, and

Remember, my love for you is not swayed by circumstances and reactions. Don’t measure yourself, but sit with me. My love hovers over you in every part of your day.

  Replay from 09/11/2009 Question to self – “How am I doing?” Based on the gift they have received, everyone should use it to serve others, as good managers of the varied grace of God. If anyone speaks, [his speech should be] like the oracles of God; if anyone serves, [his service should be] from the strength God provides, so that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To Him belong the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.                      1 Peter 4:10-11 (HCSB)

O God, listen to my cry! Hear my prayer! From the ends of the earth, I cry to you for help when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the towering rock of safety, for you are my safe refuge, a fortress where my enemies cannot reach me. Let me live forever in your sanctuary, safe beneath the shelter of your wings!                              Interlude ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭61:1-4‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

Paul - God is smiling over you Awaken. Father invites you to open your eyes to the things He has for you yet to accomplish. Don’t be fearful and hesitate. He is encouraging you to step forward and be His example. He has placed his ways and provision for you. Step out.

Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does  the Son also does. For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these, so that you will be amazed. John 5:19-20 (NIV) He is our example, yet how is our vision?

You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. Matthew 5:14-15 (NIV)

Have mercy on me, O God, because of your loyal love! Because of your great compassion, wipe away my rebellious acts! Wash away my wrongdoing! Cleanse me of my sin! For I am aware of my rebellious acts; I am forever conscious of my sin. Against you – you above all – I have sinned; I have done what is evil in your sight. So you are just when you confront me; you are right when you condemn me. Look, I was guilty of sin from birth, a sinner the moment my mother conceived me.

Renew a resolute spirit within me! Do not reject me! Do not take your Holy Spirit away from me! Let me again experience the joy of your deliverance! Sustain me by giving me the desire to obey! Then

Father says- I speak a fresh anointing of boldness. Your spiritual eyes will be re-opened, directing your every step. Love will hoover about everywhere your feet go. Listen, as Holy Spirit will communicate with you.

Father-God, I ask for you forgiveness. Open my heart and my will to seek after you, to open myself As you communicate to me. Increase my awareness of you and help me to gain understanding in your directing. I saw the 3 nickels and the 5:55. They caught my attention. Direct me.

For God speaks again and again, though people do not recognize it. He speaks in dreams, in visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on people as they lie in their beds. He whispers in their ears and terrifies them with warnings. He makes them turn from doing wrong; he keeps them from pride. He protects them from the grave, from crossing over the river of death. ‭‭Job‬ ‭33:14-18‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

Stop doubting and test what I’ve told you. Reach out and see if my words are not yet true. My ways are yet life and light. Grow in them. We must quickly carry out the tasks assigned us by the one who sent us. The night is coming, and then no one can work. ‭‭John‬ ‭9:4‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

And I will make a covenant of peace with them, an everlasting covenant. I will give them their land and increase their numbers, and I will put my Temple among them forever. I will make my home among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people. And when my Temple is among them forever, the nations will know that I am the Lord, who makes Israel holy. ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭37:26-28‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

Watch what comes from your mouth. Is it me? Does it reflect my heart? I am the light of the world. Bask in my glory and be changed. Draw others to me.

If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. I will be found by you, says the Lord. I will end your captivity and restore your fortunes. I will gather you out of the nations where I sent you and will bring you home again to your own land. Jeremiah 29:13-14 (NLT)

He replied, You are permitted to understand the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven, but others are not. To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given, and they will have an abundance of knowledge. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them. Matthew 13:11-12 (NLT )
