For you bless the godly, O Lord; you surround them with your shield of love. Psalms 5:12 (NLT) Look ahead. I Am already there awaiting you. Do not be hesitant, but trust in me. I will give direction. I AM your protection and compass. Trust in me. I will show you the way you are to be going.

Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. Relieve the troubles of my heart and free me from my anguish. Look on my affliction and my distress and take away all my sins. See how numerous are my enemies and how fiercely they hate me! Guard my life and rescue me; do not let me be put to shame, for I take refuge in you. May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope, Lord, is in you. Deliver Israel, O God, from all their troubles! Psalms 25:16-22 (NIV)

Lead me by your truth and teach me,      for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you. Remember, O Lord, your compassion and unfailing love, which you have shown from long ages past. Do not remember the rebellious sins of my youth. Remember me in the light of your unfailing love, for you are merciful, O Lord. Psalms 25:5-7 (NLT )

Find your rest in me. I AM the healing which you need. I AM the living peace. Partake of me. Seek me and I will reveal more of myself. I will invite you to the place of wholeness at my table.

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. But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it. James 1:22-25 (NLT) Practice the habits of my son. Imitate his ways of devotion to me. Invite Him into your everyday-life. Let your heart become cleansed by the reading and ingesting of my Word .

Watch for me. Be alert, I have not abandoned you. Don’t listen to the lies of the enemy. Taste my word. Allow it to strengthen and guide you. I am God-Almighty, the creator-sustainer. Come to me for life. Become my living word for those I show you.

And God said to Moses, I am Yahweh—‘the Lord.’ I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as El-Shaddai—‘God Almighty’— but I did not reveal my name, Yahweh, to them. And I reaffirmed my covenant with them. Under its terms, I promised to give them the land of Canaan, where they were living as foreigners. ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭6:2-4‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

Watch for me. Awaken your heart for my ways. You will find me in the mornings as the world awakens. I will already be there. Cast aside the anxieties which grasp at you. Feel secure in me. Speak aloud the scripture I have provided. Within it is history and life. Reach-out. I will answer you.

Allow me to touch others, to speak thru you. Renew yourself in me. Soak in my word and new blessings will bubble upward.

When he left there, Jesus went along the Sea of Galilee. Then he went up a mountain, where he sat down. Then large crowds came to him bringing with them the lame, blind, crippled, mute, and many others. They laid them at his feet, and he healed them. As a result, the crowd was amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled healthy, the lame walking, and the blind seeing, and they praised the God of Israel. Matthew 15:29-31 (NET) Don’t allow yourself to become separated. Stay focused upon me. Be grounded in my written word and alert to my speaking to you.

After instructing the crowd to sit down on the ground, he took the seven loaves and the fish, and after giving thanks, he broke them and began giving them to the disciples, who then gave them to the crowds. They all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full. Not counting children and women, there were four thousand men who ate. After sending away the crowd, he got into the boat and went to the region of Magadan. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭15:35-39‬ ‭(NET‬‬)

What do you see when you look for me> Do you see me Healing the lepers or reaching out to the hungry. Am I multiplying the food or restoring hope? Do y0u see me teaching the multitude or alone with the Father? I AM all of these and more. Look for me with expectation. Allow my redemption to flow through you and into those in need. What do you see? Are you looking for me? Be expectant.

Do not be impatient, but quiet your inner-self. Sit still and expect my presence. I will slip in beside you and bring needed healing. I will re-open old wells, living water will flow. Watch for me. I will show myself.

Let love be your highest goal! But you should also desire the special abilities the Spirit gives— especially the ability to prophesy. For if you have the ability to speak in tongues, you will be talking only to God, since people won’t be able to understand you. You will be speaking by the power of the Spirit, but it will all be mysterious. But one who prophesies strengthens others, encourages them, and comforts them. A person who speaks in tongues is strengthened personally, but one who speaks a word of prophecy strengthens the entire church. I wish you could all speak in tongues, but even more I wish you could all prophesy. For prophecy is greater than speaking in tongues, unless someone interprets what you are saying so that the whole church will be strengthened. ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭14:1-5‬ (‭NLT‬‬)

Put out your net. Is it ready for the haul? Don’t linger in indecision but walk forward. Keep listening for my direction. Follow what I whisper in your ear.

I am praying to you because I know you will answer, O God. Bend down and listen as I pray. Show me your unfailing love in wonderful ways. By your mighty power you rescue those who seek refuge from their enemies. Guard me as you would guard your own eyes. Hide me in the shadow of your wings. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭17:6-8‬ (‭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. That is why I use these parables, For they look, but they don’t really see. They hear, but they don’t really listen or understand.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭13:11-13‬ (‭NLT‬‬)

You were created unique. I do not compare you to others. But how you are growing in what I have given you. Continue to seek after me. There is more for you to discover, more for you to grow into. Be secure in me. I am directing your pathway. I am shedding my light into the dark places. I AM bringing my life wherever we go.

Don't jump ahead, "knowing" what I have for you. The enemy has set stones in your pathway to trip you. Listen carefully and I will grant you provision. I will shine upon the pathway you are to be taking.

Ask for insight and expect to receive. Do not cast off what I show you. It is from me. Watch for me in the night. I will awaken you and refill you with hope. I will restore what the enemy has stolen from you. I will bring a new release of joy and gifting for your new chapter in life. Do not allow the enemy to steal your joy - keep focused upon me. Keep in my Word, consuming it.

Then God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel and live there, and make an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau. So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, Remove the foreign gods which are among you, and purify yourselves and change your garments; and let’s arise and go up to Bethel, and I will make an altar there to God, who answered me on the day of my distress and has been with me wherever I have gone. Genesis 35:1-3 (NASB)

  And he lighted the lamps before the Lord, just as the Lord had commanded Moses. Then he placed the gold altar in the tent of meeting in front of the veil; Exodus 40:25-26 (NASB) Watch for me. I will show myself and my ways. Do not be impatient. My plan is in process. Be doing what my people are to be doing. Do not grow discouraged, but continue to reach out for me.

I am showing myself to you in the diversity of my creation. The ever-expanding heavens are mine. My love is not impatient nor rude. Do not judge others by your own standard, but come to me. I will wash you. I will wash you in righteousness. I will cover you with what is needed to come closer. Watch for me and you will find me. Come expecting.

Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation, for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see— such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him. He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together. Christ is also the head of the church, which is his body. He is the beginning, supreme over all who rise from the dead. So he is first in everything. ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1:15-18‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

I am the God of atonement. I provide for my people by releasing what is needed. I provided for the sin of separation. Stand tall as you face the enemy. He is defeated. I am before you and your rear-guard. Follow me. I will guide you.

My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them away from me, for my Father has given them to me, and he is more powerful than anyone else. No one can snatch them from the Father’s hand. The Father and I are one. John 10:27-30 (NLT) Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you. Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven. ‭‭Luke‬ ‭10:19-20‬ ‭(NASB)

Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. Psalms 23:4 (NLT) In my distress I prayed to the Lord, and the Lord answered me and set me free. The Lord is for me, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me? Yes, the Lord is for me; he will help me. I will look in triumph at those who hate me. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭118:5-7‬ (‭NLT‬‬) Keep your focus upon Me. Cast aside the fear the enemy would place in your pathway. Place my Word securely within you. Feed upon it each day. Speak aloud my living Word, so your ears may hear what I have. Do not allow your focus be upon the evil plan the enemy would have. I have overcome Him. Speak the truth in my peace. Release life with words I give to you .

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) I am speaking to you, drawing you closer to the pathway. Do not be conflicted but set your ways to align with me. I am still seeking after the lost, leading them to the Father. Do not be distracted, I am still calling to you, “Follow me”. Push further into the waters I direct you. Trust me to supply what is needed. Go deeper. It is time to catch fish. I have prepared their hearts.

Watch for me and I will be found. Listen for my voice, learn to discern my ways and messages. I will prompt you. Cast aside fear. Wrap yourself in my love. Speak my truth in peace, Cast aside condemnation.

  Meanwhile, the fire on the altar must be kept burning; it must never go out. Leviticus 6:12a (NLT) Watch for me. Do not be distracted by the clatter of life. Strive for what is important. Push through. Rest in my Word. Arise in its strength and direction.

Seek the Lord while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way And the unrighteous man his thoughts; And let him return to the Lord, And He will have compassion on him, And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon. For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, And do not return there without watering the earth And making it bear and sprout, And furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater; 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 ‭55:6-11‬ ‭(NASB)

  Don’t confuse my directions. Be familiar with my heart and my ways. I will lead you to the destination. No distractions, Keep your eyes upon my face. I will guide you. I will fill you. with my peace, as you share it. You will become my beacon of light so others may find me .

Do not be slack. It is time for you to awaken. Call for me and I will show myself. I will remind you of the promises made. Seek me in the night season. I am resurrecting dreams from your past. I will grant you keys to open closed doors. I will expand your vision of me and my ways.

The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness.  If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! Matthew 6:22-23 (NASB) Do not believe the lies of the enemy. What I have said remains as truth. Stand firm in my Word. Declare what I give you to declare. I remain the way, the truth and life. All else is of the enemy, attempting to draw you away.

Do you trust me? Draw closer. Immerse yourself in my Word and ways. Be my reflection for the world. I am with you wherever you go.

Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not even the smallest detail of God’s law will disappear until its purpose is achieved. So if you ignore the least commandment and teach others to do the same, you will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But anyone who obeys God’s laws and teaches them will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. But I warn you—unless your righteousness is better than the righteousness of the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven! Matthew 5:17-20 (NLT)

On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, the month Shebat, in Darius’ second year, the word of the Lord came to the prophet Zechariah son of Berechiah son of Iddo, as follows: I was attentive that night and saw a man seated on a red horse that stood among some myrtle trees in the ravine. Behind him were red, sorrel, and white horses. Then I asked one nearby, “What are these, sir?” The angelic messenger who replied to me said, “I will show you what these are.” Then the man standing among the myrtle trees spoke up and said, “These are the ones whom the Lord has sent to walk about on the earth.” The riders then agreed with the angel of the Lord, who was standing among the myrtle trees, “We have been walking about on the earth, and now everything is at rest and quiet.” The angel of the Lord then asked, “Lord who rules over all, how long before you have compassion on Jerusalem and the other cities of Judah which you have been so angry with for these seventy years?” The Lord then addr

Do not be discouraged. I am speaking my heart to you. Be not caught in the web of hopelessness, but speak forth my heart. I am releasing new life. I am planting faith into the hearts of my people. Faith which proclaims the prosperity I have for you. I am covering you with my revelation; filling you with hope.

You are my creation… You were made in my image, as I spoke life into being, I AM Speaking my life again over you as a shield of protection. My spirit hovers over and around you. He guides you into the pathways you are to follow. Look up and receive a fresh filling. React today to my leading.

When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him. And a leper came to Him and bowed down before Him, and said, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭8:1-3‬ ‭(NASB) Listen for me and my Words. Know my heart. Avoid the imposters who draw attention to themselves. Accept me fully. I am the healer which you need. I am yet the way to freedom. My words are truth and light. Come into the presence of my authority.

Look for me and you will find me. Listen for me to whisper your name. I will guide you with my eyes. Hunger for my righteousness and I will feed you the truth of my Word.
