Come closer. There is no need to have fear. Allow my ways to bring what is needed. Allow me to shield you from the enemy. Put aside distraction and refresh yourself in me. Yes, come closer. I will provide what you do need. With me, there is no condemnation.

Step away from the internal commotion and focus upon my heart. Allow me to guide your thoughts. I will shield you from the arrows of the enemy. Be steady in me and I will guide you in what you should say. Hunger for more of me. Be washed in my Word. What you need is more of me.

I also withheld rain from you when the harvest was still three months away. I sent rain on one town, but withheld it from another. One field had rain; another had none and dried up. Amos 4:7 Listen for the sound of rain as it patters out its song on the dry leaves. Watch for its arrival. It comes amidst the peals of thunder. Don't be in fear, but be refreshed. Wash yourself. Be cleansed in my Word.

God does speak—sometimes one way and sometimes another— even though people may not understand it. He speaks in a dream or a vision of the night when people are in a deep sleep, lying on their beds. Job 33:14-15 (NCV)

At that time there was a strong earthquake. An angel of the Lord came down from heaven, went to the tomb, and rolled the stone away from the entrance. Then he sat on the stone. He was shining as bright as lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The soldiers guarding the tomb shook with fear because of the angel, and they became like dead men. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28:2-4‬ ‭(NCV‬‬) Allow me full entrance into your life. Let the clutter and excuses be removed and replaced with joy. Toss aside those old notions and walk in my light. Exercise your freedom. Set captives free. Let the light of life shine brightly. Ask me and I will show you.

The One whom God sent speaks the words of God, because God gives him the Spirit fully. ‭‭John‬ ‭3:34‬ ‭(NCV‬‬) Follow my leading. Learn of me and my ways. Speak truth in love, being an example of what I have shown you. Allow my light to shine through you.

I pray also that you will have greater understanding in your heart so you will know the hope to which he has called us and that you will know how rich and glorious are the blessings God has promised his holy people. And you will know that God’s power is very great for us who believe. That power is the same as the great strength God used to raise Christ from the dead and put him at his right side in the heavenly world. ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1:18-20‬ ‭(NCV‬‬) Know my Word and you will know my heart. Scratch below the surface and come closer. Take in the life-truth which it is written in. Learn the heart of my living word. Meditate upon it. Allow it to saturate your being. Contemplate it's truth. Ask for understanding so you may grow in fullness. Act upon what it says.  May your actions be a reflection of my heart.

  In Christ we are set free by the blood of his death, and so we have forgiveness of sins. How rich is God’s grace, which he has given to us so fully and freely. God, with full wisdom and understanding, let us know his secret purpose. This was what God wanted, and he planned to do it through Christ. Ephesians 1:7-9 (NCV)

The wind blows where it wants to and you hear the sound of it, but you don’t know where the wind comes from or where it is going. It is the same with every person who is born from the Spirit. ‭‭John‬ ‭3:8‬ (‭NCV‬‬) See the wind blow. I will Push aside the evil. I will fill you with my Spirit and purpose. You will walk securely with me.

So give yourselves completely to God. Stand against the devil, and the devil will run from you. Come near to God, and God will come near to you. You sinners, clean sin out of your lives. You who are trying to follow God and the world at the same time, make your thinking pure. ‭‭James‬ ‭4:7-8‬ ‭NCV‬‬ Draw closer. Be secure in me, my Word and my ways shall protect you. Don't allow the way of my enemy to bring fear. He is defeated. Draw nearer. There need be no fear. Allow the shadow of my wings to protect you. You are my creation. Do not become distracted by the enemy, But follow the way I shall show you. I have plans for you.

Ask, and God will give to you. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will open for you. Yes, everyone who asks will receive. Everyone who searches will find. And everyone who knocks will have the door opened. Matthew 7:7-8 (NCV) If you wish an answer you should ask of me. Do not hesitate to learn from me. Ask for direction and you shall receive it. Ask me to open my heart and I will show you. I will direct you to where you should be. Ask and receive what is needed, but act upon what I shall show you.

Be careful of false prophets. They come to you looking gentle like sheep, but they are really dangerous like wolves. You will know these people by what they do. Grapes don’t come from thornbushes, and figs don’t come from thorny weeds. In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a bad tree produces bad fruit. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot produce good fruit. Every tree that does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. In the same way, you will know these false prophets by what they do. Matthew 7:15-20 (NCV)

One day while Jesus was standing beside Lake Galilee, many people were pressing all around him to hear the word of God. Jesus saw two boats at the shore of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets. Jesus got into one of the boats, the one that belonged to Simon, and asked him to push off a little from the land. Then Jesus sat down and continued to teach the people from the boat. When Jesus had finished speaking, he said to Simon, Take the boat into deep water, and put your nets in the water to catch some fish. ‭‭Luke‬ ‭5:1-4‬ ‭NCV‬ Come closer. I am what you are searching for. Listen to my words. They contain the directions you are seeking. Within them are the secrets of life. Yes, come closer and listen to my words. Allow them to direct you. Allow them to fill you with hope. Hear my voice and respond to my teaching you. Allow me to reach out through you to others. Push out into the waters and become whom I already see.

The Lord was pleased with these sacrifices and said to himself, I will never again curse the ground because of human beings. Their thoughts are evil even when they are young, but I will never again destroy every living thing on the earth as I did this time. As long as the earth continues, planting and harvest, cold and hot, summer and winter, day and night will not stop. ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭8:21-22‬ ‭(NCV)‬‬

But if all of you are prophesying, and unbelievers or people who don’t understand these things come into your meeting, they will be convicted of sin and judged by what you say. As they listen, their secret thoughts will be exposed, and they will fall to their knees and worship God, declaring, God is truly here among you. ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭14:24-25‬ (‭NLT)‬‬

He asked me, “Have you been watching, son of man?” Then he led me back along the riverbank.” ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭47:6‬ ‭(NLT) Yes, I am talking to you. Show them my heart. It’s time to stand. It’s time for you to prophesy‬‬. Speak my heart. I will provide you the words to speak. Now prophesy what I shall show you.

Wherever you are, wherever you are going, I AM there. I’ve prepared the places and situations so you would grow fuller in my ways. Talk with me and expect me to answer you. Ponder upon what I show you. Let it sink in and grow.

I say this because I know what I am planning for you, says the Lord. I have good plans for you, not plans to hurt you. I will give you hope and a good future. Then you will call my name. You will come to me and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will search for me. And when you search for me with all your heart, you will find me! I will let you find me, says the Lord. Jeremiah‬ ‭29:11-14‬a ‭(NCV‬‬)

This day, encounter me. Become whom I’ve appointed you to be. Receive my ways and grow in my likeness. Reach out. I Am waiting here for you. Be changed into whom I already see.

By the seventh day God finished the work he had been doing, so he rested from all his work. God blessed the seventh day and made it a holy day, because on that day he rested from all the work he had done in creating the world. ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭2:2-3‬ ‭(NCV‬‬)

Then Jesus told his followers to have the people sit in groups on the green grass. So they sat in groups of fifty or a hundred. Jesus took the five loaves and two fish and, looking up to heaven, he thanked God for the food. He divided the bread and gave it to his followers for them to give to the people. Then he divided the two fish among them all. All the people ate and were satisfied. Mark 6:39-42 (NCV) You are yet learning all that I have for you. I will provide. I have given myself so you might be found fully sanctified. Do not be surprised, but properly divide what you have received and see if there is not yet more. I have much for you to learn and much yet for you to be doing. Give thanks and watch expectantly.

Then God said, “Let the earth be filled with animals, each producing more of its own kind. Let there be tame animals and small crawling animals and wild animals, and let each produce more of its kind.” And it happened. So God made the wild animals, the tame animals, and all the small crawling animals to produce more of their own kind. God saw that this was good. Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image and likeness. And let them rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the tame animals, over all the earth, and over all the small crawling animals on the earth.” So God created human beings in his image. In the image of God he created them. He created them male and female. God blessed them and said, “Have many children and grow in number. Fill the earth and be its master. Rule over the fish in the sea and over the birds in the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” God said, “Look, I have given you all the plants that have grain for seed

Put away the distractions which keep you from me. Let them lay. Learn to rest in me. Sense my leading you. Discern my heart for the lost. How would I have you speak to them? Be secure and step forth. I am leading you in the pathway of righteousness. Know that I AM ever-present with you.

Then God said, “Let the water be filled with living things, and let birds fly in the air above the earth.” So God created the large sea animals and every living thing that moves in the sea. The sea is filled with these living things, with each one producing more of its own kind. He also made every bird that flies, and each bird produced more of its own kind. God saw that this was good. God blessed them and said, “Have many young ones so that you may grow in number. Fill the water of the seas, and let the birds grow in number on the earth.” Evening passed, and morning came. This was the fifth day. ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1:20-23‬ ‭(NCV)‬‬

Consume my word. Let it saturate your thinking and actions. Allow it to explore what I already see within you. Within it are the secrets of life. You were created in my likeness. Continue to grow. Reach out and speak life. Bring my peace to those around you. Reflect my ways for the world needs what I have shared with you.

Then God said, “Let there be lights in the sky to separate day from night. These lights will be used for signs, seasons, days, and years. They will be in the sky to give light to the earth.” And it happened. So God made the two large lights. He made the brighter light to rule the day and made the smaller light to rule the night. He also made the stars. God put all these in the sky to shine on the earth, to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. God saw that all these things were good. Evening passed, and morning came. This was the fourth day. Genesis 1:14-19 (NCV)

I will stand like a guard to watch and place myself at the tower. I will wait to see what he will say to me; I will wait to learn how God will answer my complaint. The Lord answered me: “Write down the vision; write it clearly on clay tablets so whoever reads it can run to tell others”. ‭‭Habakkuk‬ ‭2:1-2‬ (‭NCV) You either believe or do not believe what has been shown to you. I AM the life. What I speak is truth. I AM unchanging. My words continue to go forth, creating what I’ve set within them. ‬‬

Then God said, Let the water under the sky be gathered together so the dry land will appear.” And it happened. God named the dry land “earth” and the water that was gathered together “seas.” God saw that this was good. Then God said, “Let the earth produce plants— some to make grain for seeds and others to make fruits with seeds in them. Every seed will produce more of its own kind of plant.” And it happened. The earth produced plants with grain for seeds and trees that made fruits with seeds in them. Each seed grew its own kind of plant. God saw that all this was good. Evening passed, and morning came. This was the third day. ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1:9-13‬ ‭(NCV‬‬)

The slave girl gave a name to the Lord who spoke to her: “You are ‘God who sees me,’ ” because she said to herself, “Have I really seen God who sees me?” So the well there, between Kadesh and Bered, was called Beer Lahai Roi.” Genesis 16:13-14 (NCV) Remove the blockages and stubble from the pathway. Clear the way, for I AM coming. Don’t be caught by surprise. I AM removing the rubble and blockages which interfere with your clear view of me. I am pushing aside wrong ideas. Open the gateways of your heart. Let them show those around you my heart for them. Let them clearly see my love and acceptance. Let them drink from the pure waters of my well of acceptance. Show them my heart. I AM the one who sees them and opens the way for their love.

Then God said, “Let there be something to divide the water in two.” So God made the air and placed some of the water above the air and some below it. God named the air “sky.” Evening passed, and morning came. This was the second day.” Genesis 1:6-8 (NCV)

In the beginning God created the sky and the earth. The earth was empty and had no form. Darkness covered the ocean, and God’s Spirit was moving over the water. Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, so he divided the light from the darkness. God named the light “day” and the darkness “night.” Evening passed, and morning came. This was the first day. ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1:1-5‬ ‭(NCV‬‬)

Listen to the sounds of morning. Learn to recognize me, my warnings and urgings. Adjust your pathway as I guide you.  I will show  you the way you should go.  I will warn you  of the things your eyes will see. I will fill you with what you need.

Discern my voice, for many are calling out to get your attention. They wish to have the spotlight focused upon them. Know me and walk in the security of my kingdom. Be shielded in my love. Be fulfilled in the pathway I have set for you. Learn the adventure of knowing my heart. Search for me in all your ways. Find me at each juncture.

Then I confessed my sins to you and didn’t hide my guilt. I said, I will confess my sins to the Lord, and you forgave my guilt. Selah For this reason, all who obey you should pray to you while they still can. When troubles rise like a flood, they will not reach them. You are my hiding place. You protect me from my troubles and fill me with songs of salvation. Selah The Lord says, I will make you wise and show you where to go. I will guide you and watch over you. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭32:5-8‬ ‭(NCV‬‬)

In everything you say and do, remember that you will be judged by the law that makes people free. So you must show mercy to others, or God will not show mercy to you when he judges you. But the person who shows mercy can stand without fear at the judgment. ‭‭James‬ ‭2:12-13‬ ‭(NCV)‬‬ Rest secure in my love. I am yet watching over you. Confront the lies the enemy sets before you. Walk in my ways. Recognize the truth of my Word. Apply it to your own life. Allow it to enlighten the pathway. Shed your impatient ways as My mercy triumphs.

How great is your goodness that you have stored up for those who fear you, that you have given to those who trust you. You do this for all to see. You protect them by your presence from what people plan against them. You shelter them from evil words. Psalms 31:19-20 (NCV)

For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable [for He does not withdraw what He has given, nor does He change His mind about those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call]. Romans 11:29 (AMP) Don't listen to the lies the enemy would have you consider, but align yourself with Truth. Be in right position with Me. I have supplied what is needed. Step out and grow in authority. Renew your heart with righteousness. Share what I have given you with others. My love will multiple what is needed. Step forward and walk in truth. Reflect my love.

Watch for me. I am again giving you trails and pathways to find. Don’t become discouraged nor give up. Continue watching. I am yet there for you. Trust in me and not what others may say or imply. I have given you what is needed. I am not disappointed. I have known you before you were even considered. Rest in my ways. Do not give up.

May he grant your heart’s desires and make all your plans succeed. May we shout for joy when we hear of your victory and raise a victory banner in the name of our God. May the Lord answer all your prayers. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭20:4-5‬ (‭NLT‬‬)

Then Noah sent out a dove to find out if the water had dried up from the ground. The dove could not find a place to land because water still covered the earth, so it came back to the boat. Noah reached out his hand and took the bird and brought it back into the boat. ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭8:8-9‬ ‭(NCV‬‬) Become like Noah and reach out. It may be time for me to once again alight upon you. Reach out. Follow the directions I have shown you. Do not be timid, but be bold in my ways. Soak in my Word. Reflect the light which I have given you. Reach out over the waters and wash yourself in me. Cast aside the fears. Reach out to me. Learn to be who I created you to be.

and their wings touched each other. The living creatures did not turn when they moved, but each went straight ahead. Their faces looked like this: Each living creature had a human face and the face of a lion on the right side and the face of an ox on the left side. And each one also had the face of an eagle. That was what their faces looked like. Their wings were spread out above. Each had two wings that touched one of the other living creatures and two wings that covered its body. ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭1:9-11‬ ‭(NCV‬‬) I am calling you. Come up and be with me. Fly with my eagles, go where they are going. I am speaking to you. Arise into areas I've not yet shown you before. Rise skyward. I have much for you yet to do.

If you remain in me and follow my teachings, you can ask anything you want, and it will be given to you. You should produce much fruit and show that you are my followers, which brings glory to my Father. I loved you as the Father loved me. Now remain in my love. I have obeyed my Father’s commands, and I remain in his love. In the same way, if you obey my commands, you will remain in my love. I have told you these things so that you can have the same joy I have and so that your joy will be the fullest possible joy. This is my command: Love each other as I have loved you. ‭‭John‬ ‭15:7-12‬ ‭(NCV)‬‬ Do not resist me, but allow my hand of direction to guide you. I will reveal new things to your heart. I will show you direction I have for you to grow and become what I already see within you. Walk forward in love. I have prepared the way. I am there awaiting you.

Lord, teach me your ways, and guide me to do what is right because I have enemies. Do not hand me over to my enemies, because they tell lies about me and say they will hurt me. I truly believe I will live to see the Lord’s goodness. Wait for the Lord’s help. Be strong and brave, and wait for the Lord’s help. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭27:11-14‬ ‭(NCV) My Words never change. Within them is truth and life. Reach for them in all you do. Allow me to reach others through you. Show them my great love. In all you do, be guided and guarded in me.

Aaron did this, putting the lamps so they lighted the area in front of the lampstand; he obeyed the command the Lord gave Moses. The lampstand was made from hammered gold, from its base to the flowers. It was made exactly the way the Lord had showed Moses. ‭‭Numbers‬ ‭8:3-4‬ ‭(NCV‬‬) I am there, wherever you walk. I am still with you. Trust in me and my written ways. Within them is truth and life. Within them you can see me. I AM the ever-present one. Seek me and my ways and I will show myself to you. I will light the way.

I ask only one thing from the Lord. This is what I want: Let me live in the Lord’s house all my life. Let me see the Lord’s beauty and look with my own eyes at his Temple. During danger he will keep me safe in his shelter. He will hide me in his Holy Tent, or he will keep me safe on a high mountain. My head is higher than my enemies around me. I will offer joyful sacrifices in his Holy Tent. I will sing and praise the Lord. Lord, hear me when I call; have mercy and answer me. Psalms 27:4-7 (NCV) I always thank my God for you because of the grace God has given you in Christ Jesus. I thank God because in Christ you have been made rich in every way, in all your speaking and in all your knowledge. Just as our witness about Christ has been guaranteed to you, so you have every gift from God while you wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to come again. Jesus will keep you strong until the end so that there will be no wrong in you on the day our Lord Jesus Christ comes again. God, who has called you

You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I tell you, don’t stand up against an evil person. If someone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other cheek also. Matthew 5:38-39 (NCV) Be strengthened in me. Spend time in my written Word, see how it glorifies me and gives direction and support. Trust in what I have shown you. I feed you so you might grow strong in me and strengthen others. Do not judge or resist my Spirit as it guides you, but grow dependent upon each Word we speak into you. We will reopen those clogged well. Fresh water will gush forth. Old wounds will be clean. Your vision will strengthen. Know without doubt I have called you.

  My dear friends, many false prophets have gone out into the world. So do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see if they are from God. This is how you can know God’s Spirit: Every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ came to earth as a human is from God. And every spirit who refuses to say this about Jesus is not from God. It is the spirit of the enemy of Christ, which you have heard is coming, and now he is already in the world. 1 John 4:1-3 (NCV) If you follow situations, they will fool you. Don’t allow disappointment to direct your journey, but keep your eyes upon me. Listen and you will hear me whisper my name to you. Listen for me. I am there. Discern my presence in the situations and find peace.

It’s time to make more room for Me within your life. Expect me to be ever-with you in the day times and in the times of night. Watch for me in your night dreams and see if I am not depositing my ways and giftings there for you. Watch for my directions. They come as you follow what you've hear and learned. Make room for my love to flow freely from you to those in need of me. I have empowered you with my love. All that I have is available for you. Reach for me. Call upon my name, expecting me to answer. Make room for what I am about to do through you.
