the FireCarrier

Stop running. Now is the time to wash yourself and wait. Wait for me to show myself in what you need. Declare my name and receive the rewards of my presence. Allow me to act in your behalf.

Jesus told him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. If you had really known me, you would know who my Father is. From now on, you do know him and have seen him! ‭‭John‬ ‭14:6-7‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) If you watch for me I will reveal myself. Follow my ways, I will show you things you’ve not yet seen or experienced. I will heal your wounds and fill you. I have destroyed the works of darkness. Follow after me. I am the way of life.

For when I brought your fathers out of the land of Egypt, I did not merely command them about burnt offerings and sacrifices, but this is what I commanded them: Obey Me, and I will be your God, and you will be My people. You must walk in all the ways I have commanded you, so that it may go well with you.” Jeremiah 7:22-23 (BSB) A man’s heart plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps. ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16:9‬ ‭(BSB‬‬)

Don't be in fear, but trust in what the Father says. He leads the way to peace. Holy Spirit is active. Be alert, as He will continue to direct and guide you in the will of the Father. Don't be trapped in the watching the ways of the enemy. Be alert. Be at my work. You are here for a reason.

Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭139:23-24‬ (‭NLT‬‬) Jesus replied, “I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit. Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life. So don’t be surprised when I say, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows wherever it wants. Just as you can hear the wind but can’t tell where it comes from or where it is going, so you can’t explain how people are born of the Spirit.”” ‭‭John‬ ‭3:5-8‬ ‭NLT My Representative You are my representative. Do not be in fear, but trust  in what in me. Holy Spirit is active. He leads the way to peace.  Be alert, as He will continue to direct and guide you in the will of the Father. Don't be trapped in the watching the ways of the enemy. Be alert. Be at my work. You are here for a reason.

Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭139:23-24‬ (‭NLT‬‬)

However, he has given each one of us a special gift through the generosity of Christ. That is why the Scriptures say, “When he ascended to the heights, he led a crowd of captives and gave gifts to his people.” Ephesians 4:7-8 (NLT) It’s time to awaken what I’ve planted within you. Allow me to spill out from you, to reach those I bring to you. Do not be timid, but trust in me. Move beyond your comfort zone. Reach out in my love. Plant the seed so that others may eat of my fruit.

Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building up the one in need and bringing grace to those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, outcry and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and tenderhearted to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you. ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4:29-32‬ ‭(BSB)‬‬

You came near and stood at the foot of the mountain, while flames from the mountain shot into the sky. The mountain was shrouded in black clouds and deep darkness. And the Lord spoke to you from the heart of the fire. You heard the sound of his words but didn’t see his form; there was only a voice. Deuteronomy 4:11-12 (NLT) I am yet hovering over you, protecting and guiding your path. If you listen you can hear me speak direction and confirmation. Do not be distracted by the words and ways of the world. Feed upon me. Watch for me expectantly. I will show myself thru you to others. 

So he got up and ate and drank, and the food gave him enough strength to travel forty days and forty nights to Mount Sinai, the mountain of God. There he came to a cave, where he spent the night. But the Lord said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” Elijah replied, “I have zealously served the Lord God Almighty. But the people of Israel have broken their covenant with you, torn down your altars, and killed every one of your prophets. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me, too.” “Go out and stand before me on the mountain,” the Lord told him. And as Elijah stood there, the Lord passed by, and a mighty windstorm hit the mountain. It was such a terrible blast that the rocks were torn loose, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. ‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭19:8-11‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Finding Me I am healing you. There is no need to hide. Come out and speak with me. I have given you my voice, so declare what I sho...

I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father. You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it! ‭‭John‬ ‭14:12-14‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Your Light Do not be anxious and over-think, just step out in the faith you now have. Reach forth in love. Smile upon those I bring along your everyday path. Reach out in conversation. Offer to help them. You are my light in these darkening hours. Within you is what they need. Bring it out and allow me to flow thru you, healing them.

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. ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭14:1-4‬ (‭NLT‬‬)

I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes and trusts in Me [as Savior— all those who anchor their hope in Me and rely on the truth of My message] will not continue to live in darkness. ‭‭John‬ ‭12:46‬ ‭(AMP)‬‬

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭29:11‬ ‭(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) Do not be anxious, but learn to see beyond what your natural eyes may show you. Learn my leading. Lean upon my sensations and urgings. They will guide you. Each day seek direction from me. Don’t rush into your activity, but time with find me. I am your protection. I am what you are seeking. Listen to my inner-guiding your ways and you will fill that empty spot. Each day that you seek me, you will find me.

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 ‭5:20‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) But Jesus said, No, go home to your family, and tell them everything the Lord has done for you and how merciful he has been. So the man started off to visit the Ten Towns of that region and began to proclaim the great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed at what he told them. ‭‭Mark‬ ‭5:19-20‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) but they couldn’t reach him because of the crowd. So they went up to the roof and took off some tiles. Then they lowered the sick man on his mat down into the crowd, right in front of Jesus. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the man, “Young man, your sins are forgiven." ‭‭Luke‬ ‭5:19-20‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he is doing. In fact, the Father will show him how to do even greater works than healing this man. Then you will truly be a...

What are you sensing this day? Do not be lazy but be where you find me. Spend your time with me. I will be your reward. Let your impatience melt away and be found in me.

Meanwhile, Jacob left Beersheba and traveled toward Haran. At sundown he arrived at a good place to set up camp and stopped there for the night. Jacob found a stone to rest his head against and lay down to sleep. As he slept, he dreamed of a stairway that reached from the earth up to heaven. And he saw the angels of God going up and down the stairway. At the top of the stairway stood the Lord, and he said, “I am the Lord, the God of your grandfather Abraham, and the God of your father, Isaac. The ground you are lying on belongs to you. I am giving it to you and your descendants.” Genesis 28:10-13 (NLT) 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)

Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NLT)

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 another the ability to prophesy. He gives someone else the ability to discern whether a message is from the Spirit of God or from another spirit. Still another person is given the ability to speak in unknown languages, while another is given the ability to interpret what is being said. It is the one and only Spirit who distributes all these gifts. He alone decides which gift each person should have. ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭12:7-11‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Do you trust me? Watch for me and I will show myself. Listen for me. I am whispering what you need. Wait for me and my presence will be there with you.

Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do. ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5:17‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Learn to expect me to give you direction. I will show myself in many ways, waiting for you to follow. Allow my patience to absorb into your everyday motion. Spend time in my Word and share my heart with others. Allow them to learn from you my ways. I will show myself in your dreams, giving you hope and directions.

In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:16‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Do not be surprised. I know your name and your private thoughts. I watch over you, whispering your name, so you might draw closer. I have placed circumstances and situations for you to succeed, to grow stronger in the giftings placed within you. As you read this, call out to me and see if I do not answer.

A crowd soon gathered around Jesus, and they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons. He was sitting there fully clothed and perfectly sane, and they were all afraid. Mark 5:15 (NLT) So then, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; what is old has passed away – look, what is new has come! 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NET)

You are the light of the world— like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. Matthew 5:14 NLT This is a day for you to stand tall, and to realize that you are under my covering. These are the times to not allow fear to take you off-course. Let my light shine. Fear-not and walk where I lead you.

Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life. John 8:12 (NLT)

So Jesus answered them, I tell you the solemn truth, the Son can do nothing on his own initiative, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, the Son does likewise. For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he does, and will show him greater deeds than these, so that you will be amazed. For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whomever he wishes. John 5:19-21 (NET) Be a reflection of My Son. His ways are mine and His heart is true. He will guide you into the full life. Walk with Him each day. Allow Him to teach you. He will show you what is important and when to be silent.

Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and make your hearts pure, you double-minded. ‭‭James‬ ‭4:8‬ (‭NET‬‬)

Arise, Jerusalem! Let your light shine for all to see. For the glory of the Lord rises to shine on you. Darkness as black as night covers all the nations of the earth, but the glory of the Lord rises and appears over you. All nations will come to your light; mighty kings will come to see your radiance. Isaiah 60:1-3 (NLT)

Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you. But don’t rejoice because evil spirits obey you; rejoice because your names are registered in heaven. Luke 10:19-20 (NLT)

Go down ahead of me to Gilgal. I will surely come down to you to sacrifice burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, but you must wait seven days until I come to you and tell you what you are to do. 1 Samuel 10:8 (NIV) Are you listening? Listen to those I have sent before you. They have searched you out with instructions I have given them for you. Their lives will demonstrate how you are to live. Don't rush ahead of my timing and neither should you tarry. I have supplied what is necessary.

Jesus told them, This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent. John 6:29 (NLT) Do not become lazy or complacent. Seek me and you will find me. Look for me and I will show myself.

This is what the Lord says: “Stop at the crossroads and look around. Ask for the old, godly way, and walk in it. Travel its path, and you will find rest for your souls. But you reply, ‘No, that’s not the road we want!’ I posted watchmen over you who said, ‘Listen for the sound of the alarm.’ But you replied, ‘No! We won’t pay attention!’” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭6:16-17‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Father,  I ask forgiveness from you and those I have offended. Help me to recognize your leading and correction. Soften my heart to your ways. Open my eyes and ears to you.

When the people saw him do this miraculous sign, they exclaimed, Surely, he is the Prophet we have been expecting! When Jesus saw that they were ready to force him to be their king, he slipped away into the hills by himself. 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! Then they were eager to let him in the boat, and immediately they arrived at their destination! John 6:14-21 (NLT) Today you have a new opportunity. Reflect upon who I AM and who I’ve called you to be. Continue rowing, but now move in my strength and direction. Don’t fear, but look to me. I am there.

I have given you an open page. What will you do with it?

The Lord was with Samuel as he grew up, and he let none of Samuel’s words fall to the ground. And all Israel from Dan to Beersheba recognized that Samuel was attested as a prophet of the Lord. The Lord continued to appear at Shiloh, and there he revealed himself to Samuel through his word. 1 Samuel 3:19-21 (NIV) I tell you the solemn truth, the one who hears my message and believes the one who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned, but has crossed over from death to life. ‭‭John‬ ‭5:24‬ ‭(NET‬‬)

Now this is the basis for judging: that the light has come into the world and people loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil. ‭‭John‬ ‭3:19‬ ‭(NET‬‬)

What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed that I said to you, You must all be born from above. The wind blows wherever it will, and you hear the sound it makes, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit. John 3:6-8 (NET) Yes, awaken to my ways and direction.  Speak clearly from the love which flows. Continue to seek my heart  and be guided by my Spirit. Allow my boldness to be evident. Do not rush through or you will miss the many benefits. Seek my heart and learn to move when I prompt you. 

Do not be anxious about anything. Instead, in every situation, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, tell your requests to God. ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭(NET‬‬) Come back to what I have called you to be doing. Don't allow the distraction of the enemy affect you. It's time to refocus upon me and what I show you. Let love shine it's healing light. Refocus your eyes upon mine. Trust me. I will direct you.

Jesus answered her, “If you had known the gift of God and who it is who said to you, ‘Give me some water to drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.” “Sir,” the woman said to him, “you have no bucket and the well is deep; where then do you get this living water? Surely you’re not greater than our ancestor Jacob, are you? For he gave us this well and drank from it himself, along with his sons and his livestock.” Jesus replied, “Everyone who drinks some of this water will be thirsty again. But whoever drinks some of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again, but the water that I will give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up to eternal life.” The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw water.”” ‭‭John‬ ‭4:10-15‬ ‭(NET‬‬)

  Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted Matthew 5:4 (NASB) Yes, I am with you. Seek me and I will show myself.  I will reveal my heart and bring you comfort.

Jesus answered, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot [ever] enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh [the physical is merely physical], and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be surprised that I have told you, ‘You must be born again [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified].’ The wind blows where it wishes and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it is coming from and where it is going; so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.”” John 3:5-8 (AMP) Enter into my ways and directions. Toss aside that which keeps you from me. Don’t hesitate to call upon my name. Expect me to answer. Call forth my name and the authority it contains. I am awaiting for my people to act in the behalf of my name. Listen for my direction and step forth where I guide you.

The angel of the Lord replied, “Be sure your wife follows the instructions I gave her. She must not eat grapes or raisins, drink wine or any other alcoholic drink, or eat any forbidden food.” Then Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, Please stay here until we can prepare a young goat for you to eat. “I will stay,” the angel of the Lord replied, “but I will not eat anything. However, you may prepare a burnt offering as a sacrifice to the Lord.” (Manoah didn’t realize it was the angel of the Lord.) Then Manoah asked the angel of the Lord, “What is your name? For when all this comes true, we want to honor you.” “ Why do you ask my name?” the angel of the Lord replied. “It is too wonderful for you to understand.” Then Manoah took a young goat and a grain offering and offered it on a rock as a sacrifice to the Lord. And as Manoah and his wife watched, the Lord did an amazing thing. As the flames from the altar shot up toward the sky, the angel of the Lord ascended in the fire. When Manoah ...

Do not look away, but gaze into the eyes of the son. Become lost in his gaze. Be covered in his love. He will whisper His directions for you.

Meanwhile Jacob left Beer Sheba and set out for Haran. He reached a certain place where he decided to camp because the sun had gone down. He took one of the stones and placed it near his head. Then he fell asleep in that place and had a dream. He saw a stairway erected on the earth with its top reaching to the heavens. The angels of God were going up and coming down it and the Lord stood at its top. He said, “I am the Lord, the God of your grandfather Abraham and the God of your father Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the ground you are lying on. Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west, east, north, and south. All the families of the earth will pronounce blessings on one another using your name and that of your descendants. I am with you! I will protect you wherever you go and will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I promised you!” Then Jacob woke up and thought, “Surely the Lord is in th...
