The Journey

Not long afterward another large crowd came together. When the people had nothing left to eat, Jesus called the disciples to him and said, “I feel sorry for these people, because they have been with me for three days and now have nothing to eat. If I send them home without feeding them, they will faint as they go, because some of them have come a long way.” His disciples asked him, “Where in this desert can anyone find enough food to feed all these people?” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭(GNT‬‬) Don't be in a rush, but relax. Soak in my presence and release my peace. I am the provision which is needed. Trust in me and my leading. In me is the life. I am the way. Listen and I will guide you in your journey.

I Am There

I am watching over you, guiding you each day. Become responsive to my gentle, imperceptible leading. Know my heart and how to respond to others. Allow me to reach out through you. Come closer and allow me to wash over you, to clean away that which is not from me. Don't become fearful of what I have planned for you. I am changing thoughts and situations. I am there for you. Call aloud to me.

God Speaks

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) Learn who I am. Come and rest under my shadow. My arms will uphold you. I will speak to you.

No Doubt

Let there be no doubt, I AM there with you. Follow the pathway set out for you, It will strengthen you and allow you to become what I already see within you. As you seek me, you will learn my heart. Leave the fear and the doubt in the past. now is the time for you to go forward. Strengthen yourself in me. Recognize me prompting you.

Continually Seek

Search for the Lord and for his strength; continually seek him. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭105‬:‭4‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Watch for me and I will be found. I am with you in each step of your day. I will show you the sore spots so you can ask me and be healed. Don't be in a rush. I am with you. Allow me to lead you out of the complacency and into where you belong. Seek my ways. See me in the names I can be known.

Rest In Me

Jesus answered him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one goes to the Father except by me. Now that you have known me,” he said to them, “you will know my Father also, and from now on you do know him and you have seen him.”” ‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭(GNT‬‬) Take care. Don't look back into the eyes of another, but bless them in my name. Be covered in my light. I will illuminate your pathway. I am your way, truth and light. Find your rest in me.

Drawing Out

Elisha answered, “Listen to what the Lord says! By this time tomorrow you will be able to buy in Samaria ten pounds of the best wheat or twenty pounds of barley for one piece of silver.” The personal attendant of the king said to Elisha, “That can't happen—not even if the Lord himself were to send grain at once!” “You will see it happen, but you won't get to eat any of the food,” Elisha replied.” ‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭7‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭(GNT‬‬) Lift up your head and listen for me. I am there in the sound of falling rain. I am refreshing and washing away the stains, those real and those perceived. Listen and respond to what I am showing you. Dig deeply into the well I have opened within you. Draw out what I have provided and share with others.

The Light

Jesus spoke to the Pharisees again. I am the light of the world, he said. Whoever follows me will have the l light of life and will never walk in darkness. ‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭12‬ ‭(GNT‬‬) Don't allow yourself to become lost in the woods of self-ideas and judgements. Weigh things in the light. Do not allow darkness to influence your thoughts. I am the light. Follow the way I have shown you. My truth is never-changing. It is life. I will continue to show you my way.

Who I Am

While Jesus was saying this, a Jewish official came to him, knelt down before him, and said, “My daughter has just died; but come and place your hands on her, and she will live.” So Jesus got up and followed him, and his disciples went along with him. Then Jesus went into the official's house. When he saw the musicians for the funeral and the people all stirred up, he said, “Get out, everybody! The little girl is not dead—she is only sleeping!” Then they all started making fun of him. But as soon as the people had been put out, Jesus went into the girl's room and took hold of her hand, and she got up. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭9‬:‭18‬-‭19‬, ‭23‬-‭25‬ (‭GNT)‬‬ Learn who I am and how I respond to those who come to me. I am watching over you, guiding you each day. Become responsive to my leading. Know my heart and how I respond to others. Allow my heart to guide you. Allow me to reach out through you.

Persisting

So she set out and went to Mount Carmel, where Elisha was. Elisha saw her coming while she was still some distance away, and he said to his servant Gehazi, “Look, there comes the woman from Shunem! Hurry to her and find out if everything is all right with her, her husband, and her son.” She told Gehazi that everything was all right, but when she came to Elisha, she bowed down before him and took hold of his feet. Gehazi was about to push her away, but Elisha said, “Leave her alone. Can't you see she's deeply distressed? And the Lord has not told me a thing about it.” The woman said to him, “Sir, did I ask you for a son? Didn't I tell you not to get my hopes up?” Elisha turned to Gehazi and said, “Hurry! Take my walking stick and go. Don't stop to greet anyone you meet, and if anyone greets you, don't take time to answer. Go straight to the house and hold my stick over the boy.” The woman said to Elisha, “I swear by my loyalty to the living Lord and to you that I wil

The Oil Supply

The widow of a member of a group of prophets went to Elisha and said, “Sir, my husband has died! As you know, he was a God-fearing man, but now a man he owed money to has come to take away my two sons as slaves in payment for my husband's debt. What shall I do for you? he asked. “Tell me, what do you have at home?” “Nothing at all, except a small jar of olive oil,” she answered.” Go to your neighbors and borrow as many empty jars as you can,” Elisha told her. “Then you and your sons go into the house, close the door, and start pouring oil into the jars. Set each one aside as soon as it is full.” So the woman went into her house with her sons, closed the door, took the small jar of olive oil, and poured oil into the jars as her sons brought them to her. When they had filled all the jars, she asked if there were any more. “That was the last one,” one of her sons answered. And the olive oil stopped flowing. She went back to Elisha, the prophet, who said to her, “Sell the olive oil and

I will direct your course. I will wash off the dust of your day and anoint you with my Spirit. Speak in my peace. Be drawn closer to me.

Anointing Oil

Do not overthink, but accept my love. Absorb my written word. Within it is life. Strengthen those I've placed around you. Let them see me through your life. Allow my peace to be a sweet oil of anointing.

Learn Trust

He taught me to sing a new song, a song of praise to our God. Many who see this will take warning and will put their trust in the Lord. Happy are those who trust the Lord, who do not turn to idols or join those who worship false gods. ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭40‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭(GNT‬‬) Repeat aloud to your inner self, "I AM is with you". I've never left you, but have you on the pathway of development. Put aside the daily noise and learn the strength of my quiet. Trust in me and what I impart to you.

Share My Ways

Lord, through all the generations you have been our home! Before the mountains were born, before you gave birth to the earth and the world, from beginning to end, you are God. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭90‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭(NLT) As you learn my names you can further grasp the fullness of my love for you. and the vastness of my provision. Spend your time and self wisely. Place yourself where I will take and show you. My healing is available. Call upon me. Share the ways of my heart with others.

In My Freedom

Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. And you know the way to where I am going. ‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Focus your heart upon me. I am there with you in each part of your day. Extend yourself to my unchanging love. Don't allow distractions Lead you into the way of complacency. I am life. Walk in my freedom.

New Ideas

This is the account of the creation of the heavens and the earth. When the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, neither wild plants nor grains were growing on the earth. For the Lord God had not yet sent rain to water the earth, and there were no people to cultivate the soil. Instead, springs came up from the ground and watered all the land. Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person. Then the Lord God planted a garden in Eden in the east, and there he placed the man he had made. ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭2‬:‭4‬-‭8‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Can you hear me calling to you? I have set aside time to show you new thoughts and ideas. I have an ever-expanding love for you to be sharing. The more you share, the more there is for you. You can fill that "missing connection". It is me. I am here. Listen for me in the sounds of nature about you, I am there with you. I am ready to release new ideas for y

The Power of Prayer

Some time later the woman’s son became sick. He grew worse and worse, and finally he died. Then she said to Elijah, “O man of God, what have you done to me? Have you come here to point out my sins and kill my son?” But Elijah replied, “Give me your son.” And he took the child’s body from her arms, carried him up the stairs to the room where he was staying, and laid the body on his bed. Then Elijah cried out to the Lord, “O Lord my God, why have you brought tragedy to this widow who has opened her home to me, causing her son to die?” And he stretched himself out over the child three times and cried out to the Lord, “O Lord my God, please let this child’s life return to him.” The Lord heard Elijah’s prayer, and the life of the child returned, and he revived! Then Elijah brought him down from the upper room and gave him to his mother. “Look!” he said. “Your son is alive!” Then the woman told Elijah, “Now I know for sure that you are a man of God, and that the Lord truly speaks through yo

Feed yourself upon my written word. Allow It to guide you along your way. Those words of life are never-ending. They are eternal. They reflect who I am. You are my spoken creation. From my word you exist. Feed upon it, sharing with others.

Awaiting For You

Close your eyes and listen. Hear the sounds of my creation. Listen to the tones and variations. Hear the leaves as they rustle in the breeze. I am in these. Listen for my guiding you. I will direct you into the ways you should go. I will place others in your pathway. Hear what I may be saying to you through them. In each part of your day, seek me. I am already there, awaiting for you .

I Am Truth

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) Don't be in a rush or you may continue to miss important things. Learn my heart si you may flourish. Walk in my ways and grow stronger in my understanding. Don't allow fear to guide you, but be bold in me. I am the truth. In me is life.

For Your Considering

At the Lord’s command, a man of God from Judah went to Bethel, arriving there just as Jeroboam was approaching the altar to burn incense. Then at the Lord’s command, he shouted, “O altar, altar! This is what the Lord says: A child named Josiah will be born into the dynasty of David. On you he will sacrifice the priests from the pagan shrines who come here to burn incense, and human bones will be burned on you.” That same day the man of God gave a sign to prove his message. He said, “The Lord has promised to give this sign: This altar will split apart, and its ashes will be poured out on the ground.” When King Jeroboam heard the man of God speaking against the altar at Bethel, he pointed at him and shouted, “Seize that man!” But instantly the king’s hand became paralyzed in that position, and he couldn’t pull it back. At the same time a wide crack appeared in the altar, and the ashes poured out, just as the man of God had predicted in his message from the Lord. The king cried out to the

A Song of Ascending

From the depths of despair, O Lord, I call for your help. Hear my cry, O Lord. Pay attention to my prayer. Lord, if you kept a record of our sins, who, O Lord, could ever survive? But you offer forgiveness, that we might learn to fear you. I am counting on the Lord; yes, I am counting on him. I have put my hope in his word. I long for the Lord more than sentries long for the dawn, yes, more than sentries long for the dawn. O Israel, hope in the Lord; for with the Lord there is unfailing love. His redemption overflows. He himself will redeem Israel from every kind of sin. Psalms‬ ‭130‬:‭1‬-‭8‬ ‭(NLT)

Where You Are

Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks to God, and distributed them to the people. Afterward he did the same with the fish. And they all ate as much as they wanted. After everyone was full, Jesus told his disciples, Now gather the leftovers, so that nothing is wasted. ‭‭John‬ ‭6‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭(NLT) Are you unsure as to why you are at the station you are currently? Have you asked me that question, expecting an answer? How does it make you feel? What is it you may need to learn before advancing? Perhaps you are where you are for the sake of those others. Learn to follow what I place within you.

In His Ways

Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways! You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you. ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭128‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭(ESV‬‬) Can you hear me calling to you? I have set aside time to show you new thoughts and ideas for you to consider. I have an ever-expanding love for you to be sharing. The more you share, the more there is for you. The more you feel that "missing connection", I am here. Reach out for me to answer. Listen for me in the sounds of nature about you. I am there. I am ready to release new ideas for you. Are you listening?

Unchanging

  So let us not become tired of doing good; for if we do not give up, the time will come when we will reap the harvest. ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭6‬:‭9‬ ‭(GNT‬‬) I have no favorites. What I have for others is available to you and what I have shared with you is to be shared with them. Earn to recognize my prompting you to share My ways, Allow me to reach them through you. Be secure in me. Let my peace cover you. My word is unchanging. Let it go forth in your life .

Ask and Believe

When I look at the sky, which you have made, at the moon and the stars, which you set in their places— what are human beings, that you think of them; mere mortals, that you care for them? Yet you made them inferior only to yourself; you crowned them with glory and honor. You appointed them rulers over everything you made; you placed them over all creation: sheep and cattle, and the wild animals too; the birds and the fish and the creatures in the seas. O Lord, our Lord, your greatness is seen in all the world! ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭8‬:‭3‬-‭9‬ ‭(GNT) Remove the distractions of your day and reach out to me. I will fill you with what is needed. Follow where you sense my leading you. Walk with me. Trust the pathway. It leads to my throne-room. Ask of me believing. I will answer and guide you.

With You

Watch for me. In nature you can begin to see the beginning of my diversity. My creation is yet expanding to show itself. I am yet from the beginning and everlasting through what you call the end. Watch. I am there with you.

Prayer For Boldness

And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness, while you stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus. And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness. ‭‭Acts‬ ‭4‬:‭29‬-‭31‬ ‭(ESV)

Your Voice

So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites went down and had Solomon ride on King David’s mule and brought him to Gihon. There Zadok the priest took the horn of oil from the tent and anointed Solomon. Then they blew the trumpet, and all the people said, “Long live King Solomon!” And all the people went up after him, playing on pipes, and rejoicing with great joy, so that the earth was split by their noise. ‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭1‬:‭38‬-‭40‬ (‭ESV) Listen to the sounds of nature all about you. Each has their own distinctive voice and all contribute in what they were created to be doing. Stretch out. It is time for you to reach out further. Now practice doing what you've been learning. Walk secure with me and I will be there with you. Let your voice be heard.

What You've Received

I am here. Reach out to me. Allow my healing ways to wash over you. It is time to come back and stand upright in belief. My word is truth. I never change. I bless you with my peace. Share what you've received from me with others.

A Song of Ascents

I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord!” Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem! Jerusalem—built as a city that is bound firmly together, to which the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, as was decreed for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the Lord. There thrones for judgment were set, the thrones of the house of David. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! “ May they be secure who love you! Peace be within your walls and security within your towers!”” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭122‬:‭1‬-‭7‬ (‭ESV)

Call For Me

Do not be in a hurry, but wait for me. I will guide you to the destination. It is in the journey will become what I see within you. I am what you need. Give me your fears and anxiety. They can become an anchor far beneath where you should be. Call for me and I will answer you. Are you ready?

Awaken

The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky displays what his hands have made. One day tells a story to the next. One night shares knowledge with the next without talking, without words, without their voices being heard. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭19‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭(GW) Pay attention as I visit you in the night. I am granting direction and encouragement. I will show you what to avoid, as it is deception which the enemy is working to trip you. Awaken to me. Listen for me and I will guide you in the way you should now be going.

Listening

With perfect peace you will protect those whose minds cannot be changed, because they trust you. Trust the Lord always, because the Lord, the Lord alone, is an everlasting rock. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭26‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ (‭GW‬) Put your trust in me. My written word is truth. It remains forever true. Listen to it speak to you as you learn more of my direction and love. Quiet the noise which would distress and confuse you. It is from the enemy. I am the way. When you call to me, expect an answer. Listen carefully and allow life to flow forth. Respond to what I am saying.

It Is Me

Peter answered, Lord, if it is you, order me to come to you on the water. Jesus said, Come! So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭14‬:‭28‬-‭29‬ (‭GW‬) You've heard the direction to be taking, now‬ come out. Walk with me. Place your trust me. Test my ways and learn I do not fail. Grow in my ways. Reach out and heal others. Speak life into those who do not know me. Plant hope where the enemy has spread lies. Yes. It is me calling you forth. Step out. The disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It’s the Lord.” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put back on the clothes that he had taken off and jumped into the sea. The other disciples came with the boat and dragged the net full of fish. They weren’t far from the shore, only about 100 yards. ‭‭John‬ ‭21‬:‭7‬-‭8‬ (‭GW‬)‬
