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.

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)
