Your Father Sees

Be careful not to do your good works in public in order to attract attention. If you do, your Father in heaven will not reward you. So when you give to the poor, don’t announce it with trumpet fanfare. This is what hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets in order to be praised by people. I can guarantee this truth: That will be their only reward. When you give to the poor, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. Give your contributions privately. Your Father sees what you do in private. He will reward you. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭GW‬‬ Put aside the noise of your day and sit with me. Listen for my guiding you in the way you should be going. Empty your impatient anger and be washed in my love and forgiveness. Fill yourself with my word. It contains the guiding truth for your life. Listen, believing I will speak to you and guard your way.

Receive Me

Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Messiah has been born from God. Everyone who loves the Father also loves his children. We know that we love God’s children when we love God by obeying his commandments. To love God means that we obey his commandments. Obeying his commandments isn’t difficult because everyone who has been born from God has won the victory over the world. Our faith is what wins the victory over the world. ‭‭1 John‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭GW‬‬ My word tells you I am with you. As you read this, unburden yourself and carry the load I have given you. My love abounds. Come nearer and be washed. Experience what I have for you. Put aside self-expectations, receive me. I am what you need to become filled. I am yet still the way, the truth and the life. Be washed and forgiven. I am all that you need.

My Calm

This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. ‭‭1 John‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬-‭16‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Stay calm and do not react to the tactics of the enemy. Listen for me. Close your eyes and shut out the distraction. I will impart within you what you need. Trust in me. I will allow calm to fill you with my ways.

My Love

The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭NIV Like the snow all about you, I have blanketed you in my love. You are covered in my love. Walk freely with me. Allow my love to be seen by others. Do not walk in fear. Share my love and patience with others. Bring them into my family. Listen to the guiding of my Spirit. I am love. I will show you what you need and where you need to grow.

Listen For Me

This is the promise which He Himself made to us: eternal life. These things I have written to you concerning those who are trying to deceive you. As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him. Now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming. If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone also who practices righteousness is born of Him. ‭‭1 John‬ ‭2‬:‭25‬-‭29‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬ Set aside time to spend with me. I remain the way for you to be going. Allow my word to cleanse and engulf you. Listen for my guiding voice. I will direct you in my way. My peace will come upon you in needed healing. Listen for me. I am calling to you .

Ask Me

Jesus went out, along with His disciples, to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way He questioned His disciples, saying to them, “Who do people say that I am?” They told Him, saying, “John the Baptist; and others say Elijah; but others, one of the prophets.” And He continued by questioning them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered and said to Him, “You are the Christ.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭8‬:‭27‬-‭29‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬ Don't forget to watch for me. See the signs And wanders reaching out. I am there with you now as you read this. Put aside your doubt. Ask me. Believe my love never ends. Hear my word and walk in the way I show  you. Walk in the love I show for you.

Life For You

Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭4‬:‭10‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Look for me and you will find me. I do not ignore my children. I am there for you. Grow strong, become what you were created to be in me. Don't allow the winds of fear to be your guide. Take time to be alone with me. Allow me to provide what is needed. Walk in the way with my son. He has provided life for you.

New Season

Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction. ‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3‬:‭15‬-‭16‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Slow down and listen for me. I have words I will deposit for you. Allow them to mature and come forth fully developed. Be ready for a change. A new season will soon be here and you need be ready to thrive in it. New ideas and thoughts will flow forth from me.

God's Power

Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! God has given us a new birth because of his great mercy. We have been born into a new life that has a confidence which is alive because Jesus Christ has come back to life. We have been born into a new life which has an inheritance that can’t be destroyed or corrupted and can’t fade away. That inheritance is kept in heaven for you, since you are guarded by God’s power through faith for a salvation that is ready to be revealed at the end of time. ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬-‭5‬ ‭(GW‬‬) With the day passed, what are you thankful for? Now open your eyes and heart with what I will soon bring before you. I am here with you, Releasing direction and encouragement. Fill your self with the revelation of my written word. Within it is life. Sun-bright or darkness, I am there. I am the WORD everlasting. I speak my ways for and over you .

Your Pathway

Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven. Your faithfulness continues throughout all generations; You established the earth, and it stands. They stand this day according to Your ordinances, For all things are Your servants. If Your law had not been my delight, Then I would have perished in my affliction. I will never forget Your precepts, For by them You have revived me. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119‬:‭89‬-‭93‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬ I have blessed you. Look within. I am guiding you in your dreams. I am speaking to you, granting you strength and wisdom. Do not allow the enemy to defeat you, but be filled with me. Wake up. Reach out to those I will be bringing into your pathway.

Considering

Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech. They must turn from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.” ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭3‬:‭8‬-‭12‬ ‭NIV

Become Fearless

But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells. ‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3‬:‭‭13‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬ Do not be fearful but call out to me. Empty out those thoughts and anxieties which weigh upon you, but sit in the weight of my glory. Become what I already see within you. Take the time to count those things and people you are thankful for. Let them lie within your prayers. Let them know of my love for them. Invite them to my table.

Prevailing

At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do. “All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭25‬-‭27‬ ‭NIV Draw nearer. Come closer and allow my love to cover you in safety. Allow me to bring healing and wholeness into your life. Do not rush, but learn to experience my way. I am still the way, the truth and the life. In me you will find the path created for you. With me you will prevail.

Learning To Walk

When John, who was in prison, heard about the deeds of the Messiah, he sent his disciples to ask him, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?” Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor. Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭2‬-‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Do not fear. I am with you. Walk in the strength I have provided for you. Allow my peace to flow from you to them. Go forth. It is time to grow. Now cross the river. Watch what the power of my spoken name can accomplish.

Are you ready?

When they were all satisfied, Jesus said to his disciples, “Gather up the broken pieces that are left over, so that nothing is wasted.” ‭‭John‬ ‭6‬:‭12‬ ‭NE Put aside the junk the enemy has set before you. Stop and spend time with me. Allow my Spirit to release healing and hope. I will direct you. Are you ready? Are you ready and armed with my armor? Are you will with the hope of my Word? Don't react in anger but walk with me. I will place you where you should be.

Pay Attention

Then he brought me by way of the north gate to the front of the temple. As I watched, I noticed the glory of the Lord filling the Lord’s temple, and I threw myself face down. The Lord said to me: “Son of man, pay attention, watch closely and listen carefully to everything I tell you concerning all the statutes of the Lord’s house and all its laws. Pay attention to the entrances to the temple with all the exits of the sanctuary. ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭44‬:‭4‬-‭5‬ ‭NET‬‬ Come back. Return to those places where we met. I have not gone. There is more that I have for you. Come back and allow me to refill you with what is needed. Step forward and outward with me. Yes, you can walk upon the waters. Keep your eyes upon me and not the angry appearing waves. I will direct and supply you. I am all which you need. Allow me. The price has already been paid.

Become Bold

Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” So they called the blind man and said to him, “Have courage! Get up! He is calling you.” He threw off his cloak, jumped up, and came to Jesus. Then Jesus said to him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man replied, “Rabbi, let me see again.” Jesus said to him, “Go, your faith has healed you.” Immediately he regained his sight and followed him on the road. ‭‭Mark‬ ‭10‬:‭49‬-‭52‬ ‭NET Walk in my freedom. It is time to step out and follow where I have shown you to be going. Don't allow fear to limit your adventure with me. I have shown you the way, now continue. You too can heal those I bring to you. Touch them at their point of need. Speak my love into their lives. Reach out. Become bold in me.

With You

Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭43‬:‭18‬-‭19‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Watch for me throughout your day. I will drop directions into your path. My covering will continue to shield you. My favor will rest heavily upon you. Don't rush, as I am with you.

Your Faith

You fool! Do you have to be shown that faith which does nothing is useless? Didn’t our ancestor Abraham receive God’s approval as a result of what he did when he offered his son Isaac as a sacrifice on the altar? You see that Abraham’s faith and what he did worked together. His faith was shown to be genuine by what he did. The Scripture passage came true. It says, “Abraham believed God, and that faith was regarded as the basis of Abraham’s approval by God.” So Abraham was called God’s friend. You see that a person receives God’s approval because of what he does, not only because of what he believes. ‭‭James‬ ‭2‬:‭20‬-‭24‬ ‭(GW‬‬) Give me your frustrations and anxieties. Leave them upon my altar. Allow me to lead you on the way you should be going. If you look about you will find me. I am there within your life. Follow after what I speak for you to be doing. Bring others to my altar of forgiveness .

Prophesy

The hand of the Lord was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” I said, “Sovereign Lord, you alone know.” Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’ ” ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭37‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭(NIV)‬‬

Word For You

Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones. Tell them, ‘Dry bones, listen to the Lord’s word. This is what the Almighty Lord says to these bones: I will cause breath to enter you, and you will live. ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭37‬:‭4‬-‭5‬ ‭(GW‬‬) Move forward. Follow the pathway I have set forth for you. Listen for my guiding and you will find the purpose I have set within you. Do not be fearful, but speak my Word. Walk in the way I have called you to be walking. Allow me to guide you in my light.

Allowing

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God,  who gives generously to all without finding fault,  and it will be given to you.  But when you ask, you must believe  and not doubt, because the one who doubts  is like a wave of the sea,  blown and tossed by the wind.  That person should not expect to receive  anything from the Lord.  Such a person is double-minded and  unstable in all they do. ‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬-‭8‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Watch for me each day. I am there. Examine your inner reactions. Are they  what you'd have others see? Allow my healing to transform you into what I can already see. Allow my forgiveness flow through you and into the lives of others.

Allow Me

We don’t have a permanent city here on earth, but we are looking for the city that we will have in the future. Through Jesus we should always bring God a sacrifice of praise, that is, words that acknowledge him. Don’t forget to do good things for others and to share what you have with them. These are the kinds of sacrifices that please God. ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭13‬:‭14‬-‭16‬ ‭(GW) Yes, I see you. I watch as you move about, seeing that things are in order. It is time for you to slow down and allow me to bring your healing. Turn those insecurities over to me. Allow me to lead you deeper into my ways.

Your Covering

Suppose a man has 100 sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the 99 sheep grazing in the pasture and look for the lost sheep until he finds it? When he finds it, he’s happy. He puts that sheep on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says to them, ‘Let’s celebrate! I’ve found my lost sheep!’ I can guarantee that there will be more happiness in heaven over one person who turns to God and changes the way he thinks and acts than over 99 people who already have turned to God and have his approval. ‭‭Luke‬ ‭15‬:‭4‬-‭7‬ ‭(GW) Draw nearer. Find your safety within my shadow. Don't allow fear to guide you. Rely upon me. I spoke your name, you are my creation.‬‬ Listen for my voice. Recognize the peace and protection it speaks over you. I will guide you in the way you should be going. Draw near to me. Allow my peace to become your covering.

Within You

They arrived at Jerusalem. Immediately on entering the Temple Jesus started throwing out everyone who had set up shop there, buying and selling. He kicked over the tables of the bankers and the stalls of the pigeon merchants. He didn’t let anyone even carry a basket through the Temple. And then he taught them, quoting this text: My house was designated a house of prayer for the nations; You’ve turned it into a hangout for thieves. ‭‭Mark‬ ‭11‬:‭15‬-‭17‬ ‭(MSG‬‬) Listen to the sounds about you. Nature sings her songs. They are all unique. They do not try to mimic the others. They grow as I called them by name. You to have been called. It is time for  you to speak what I have placed within  you to be speaking.

Be Ready

Let me tell you what’s going on here: No one in history surpasses John the Baptizer; but in the kingdom he prepared you for, the lowliest person is ahead of him. For a long time now people have tried to force themselves into God’s kingdom. But if you read the books of the Prophets and God’s Law closely, you will see them culminate in John, teaming up with him in preparing the way for the Messiah of the kingdom. Looked at in this way, John is the ‘Elijah’ you’ve all been expecting to arrive and introduce the Messiah. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭11‬-‭14‬ ‭(MSG) Share what I have shared with you. Reopen yourself to me and my ways. Allow me to take you places and show you what you need to see. Be ready. I am there, right in front of you. Re-open your heart and experience me.

My Love

The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. It’s our handle on what we can’t see. The act of faith is what distinguished our ancestors, set them above the crowd. By faith, we see the world called into existence by God’s word, what we see created by what we don’t see. ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭(MSG)‬‬ Sit with me. Shut off the internal and external noises. I will be with you. I will show you the direction you should be going, but in my timing. For now, stay put. I will bring others to you. Show them my love. Speak to them the words I will give you.

Psalm 108

My heart, O God, is steadfast; I will sing and make music with all my soul. Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn. I will praise you, Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples. For great is your love, higher than the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth. Save us and help us with your right hand, that those you love may be delivered. God has spoken from his sanctuary: “In triumph I will parcel out Shechem and measure off the Valley of Sukkoth. Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet, Judah is my scepter. Moab is my washbasin, on Edom I toss my sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.” Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? Is it not you, God, you who have rejected us and no longer go out with our armies? Give us aid against the enemy, for human help is worthless. With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enem...

Your Walk

Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subjected to violence, and violent people have been raiding it. For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John. And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come. Whoever has ears, let them hear. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭11‬-‭15‬ (‭NIV)‬‬ Come nearer and listen to what I will tell you. Do not be frightened nor allow anger to guide your actions. Allow me to be your guide. Listen for my voice speaking what you need. Set aside for our time together. Feed upon my written word. I will teach you to rightly walk with me.

Listening

  The Holy Spirit tells us the same thing: “This is the promise  that I will make to them after those days, says the Lord: ‘I will put my teachings in their hearts and write them in their minds.’ ” Then he adds, “I will no longer hold their sins and their disobedience against them.” When sins are forgiven, there is no longer any need to sacrifice for sins. Brothers and sisters, because of the blood of Jesus we can now confidently go into the holy place. Jesus has opened a new and living way for us to go through the curtain. (The curtain is his own body.) ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭10‬:‭15‬-‭20‬ (‭GW)‬‬ Learn to rest in me. Put aside your worrying and anxieties. Allow me to become your guide. Move in my pathway. I will lead you where you should be. Be listening for my voice and I will speak with you.

Be With Me

How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God! For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance— now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant. ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭9‬:‭14‬-‭15‬ ‭(NIV) Remember me and do not be caught in the busyness of life. Allow my healing to impart what is needed. The full price has been paid. Take the time to be with me. Allow me to open myself to you.

My Pathway

When Jesus came down from the mountainside, large crowds followed him. A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.” Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭(NIV) What do you do when you have arrived at your supposed destination? Do you give up or wait for me? Do you fret or allow me to bring refreshing? Wherever you feel you are, I am there. Take your time and listen for me. I am your protection. I will direct you in my pathway.

It Is Time

When he entered he said to them, “Why are you distressed and weeping? The child is not dead but asleep.” And they began making fun of him. But he put them all outside and he took the child’s father and mother and his own companions and went into the room where the child was. Then, gently taking the child by the hand, he said to her, “Talitha koum,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up.” The girl got up at once and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). They were completely astonished at this. ‭‭Mark‬ ‭5‬:‭39‬-‭42‬ ‭(NET) This is for the one awaiting, sensing I have forgotten you.‬‬ I do not change what I have said to you. Stand firm and trust me. Open my written word. Allow it to show you truth. Look at the compassion and patience I have for my creation. Allow it to guide you. Let it be a model for your actions. Trust in me. It is time to step forward.

Fill Yourself

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 (‭NASB1995) Don't be confused by the enemy. Recognize me and my ways. Allow my spirit to guide you in truth. Walk in the way I have for you. Reach out to others. Bring healing and life to them. Fill yourself with my ways and words. Allow them to guide you. Share them in your daily walk, so others may learn.

Continue To Walk

for an angel of the Lord went down at certain seasons into the pool and stirred up the water; whoever then first, after the stirring up of the water, stepped in was made well from whatever disease with which he was afflicted. A man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had already been a long time in that condition, He said to him, “Do you wish to get well?” The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I am coming, another steps down before me.” Jesus said to him, “Get up, pick up your pallet and walk.” Immediately the man became well, and picked up his pallet and began to walk. Now it was the Sabbath on that day.” ‭‭John‬ ‭5‬:‭4‬-‭9‬ ‭(NASB1995‬‬) This word is for you, the one who feels left behind. The one who has not shone as your past felt to take you. Do not fear. I give you new life in me. My ways are here for you. I will heal your wounds as you spend ti...

Wash In My Glory

As I looked at the dome over the heads of the angels, I saw something that looked like a throne made of sapphire. The Lord said to the person dressed in linen, “Go between the wheels under the angels, and fill your hands with burning coals. Then scatter them over the city.” So he went between the wheels as I watched. The angels were standing on the south side of the temple as the person went. A cloud filled the inner courtyard. The Lord’s glory rose from the angels to the entrance of the temple, the cloud filled the temple, and the brightness of the Lord’s glory filled the courtyard. ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭10‬:‭1‬-‭54 ‭(GW) Watch for me. I will show myself to you in new ways. I am there with you now as you read this. Allow it to lead‬‬ you in the way of truth. Wash yourself with my word. I will continue to watch over you. I am the only way to life.

The Way For You

Jesus answered him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one goes to the Father except through me. If you have known me, you will also know my Father. From now on you know him through me and have seen him in me.” ‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭(GW‬‬) Stand firm in what I have planted within you. Let others see me through your fruit. Allow me to bless them as you again step forward. Yes, listen for me. I am speaking my heart for and through you. I am the way for you to be going. I am truth.

Within Your Heart

The power of the Lord came over me. He said, “Get up, and go to the plain. I will speak to you there.” I got up and went to the plain. The Lord’s glory was standing there like the glory I saw by the Chebar River, and I immediately bowed down. Then the Spirit entered me and stood me on my feet. He talked to me. He said, “Go into your home, and shut yourself inside. People will tie you up with ropes, son of man, so that you can’t go outside. I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth so that you can’t talk or criticize them, even though they are rebellious people. But when I speak to you, I will open your mouth. You will tell them, ‘This is what the Almighty Lord says.’ Some will listen, and some will refuse to listen. They are rebellious people.” ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭3‬:‭22‬-‭27‬ ‭(GW)‬‬ Put aside the noise which distracts you. Listen for me and I will speak to you. I will place my words within your heart. Sit with me and take in my written word. Draw upon the healing truth it conta...

Everlasting Life

May the glory of the Lord endure forever. May the Lord find joy in what he has made. He looks at the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke. I will sing to the Lord throughout my life. I will make music to praise my God as long as I live. May my thoughts be pleasing to him. I will find joy in the Lord. May sinners vanish from the world. May there no longer be any wicked people. Praise the Lord, my soul! Hallelujah! ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭104‬:‭31‬-‭35‬ ‭(GW‬‬) I AM. As you go through your day, remember me and who I am. Listen and talk with me. Open up and allow me to bring direction and wholeness into your life. I am ever-present. I have not changed. Share with me your heart. Allow my healing to flow. Do not be guided by fear, but continue to follow my way. In it is ever-lasting life.

Our Struggles

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭12‬-‭13‬ (‭NASB1995)

Proclaiming

I am the Lord; that is My name! I will not yield My glory to another or My praise to idols. Behold, the former things have happened, and now I declare new things. Before they spring forth I proclaim them to you. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭42‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭(BSB) I am GOD. I remain ever-present, never changing. Within me is life. Come closer, learn from me. I will show you the way of life. Don't listen to the lies, nor fear the way of the enemy. Learn from me. I am the wholeness you need.

One Heart and Mind

Jesus answered, “I told you, but you don’t believe. Everything I have done has been authorized by my Father, actions that speak louder than words. You don’t believe because you’re not my sheep. My sheep recognize my voice. I know them, and they follow me. I give them real and eternal life. They are protected from the Destroyer for good. No one can steal them from out of my hand. The Father who put them under my care is so much greater than the Destroyer and Thief. No one could ever get them away from him. I and the Father are one heart and mind.” ‭‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭25‬-‭30‬ ‭(MSG)‬‬ Allow me to wash away the dirt and stains from your past. Turn off the noises and listen for me. I am there with you. My plans have not changed for you. Now take a step forward. Yes, take a step. Continue to listen. My voice becomes clearer as you obey. Learn who you are with me.

Directions for Living

Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth. Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before Him with joyful singing. Know that the Lord Himself is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name. For the Lord is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting and His faithfulness to all generations. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭100‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ (‭NASB1995‬‬) Fill yourself with my written word. Feed upon it. Speak forth the healing it contains. It is whole. Within it is the joy missing in your life. I am the light of the world. Within me there is no darkness, Follow after me. Allow me to lead you in the way you should be going.

I Am There

The news about Him spread throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all who were ill, those suffering with various diseases and pains, demoniacs, epileptics, paralytics; and He healed them. Large crowds followed Him from Galilee and the Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judea and from beyond the Jordan. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭4‬:‭24‬-‭25‬ (‭NASB1995)‬‬ If you listen, you can hear the sounds of life all about you. You can learn to recognize my presence. I am there with you. Call upon me for guidance. I will show you the way to be going. I will protect you from the enemy. Speak my Word aloud. Allow me to move you along my pathway. Yes, I am there with you as you read this.

The Change

The Lord made the earth by his power. He set up the world by his wisdom. He stretched out heaven by his understanding. When he thunders, the water in the sky roars. He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth. He sends lightning with the rain. He brings wind out of his storehouses. Everyone is stupid and ignorant. Metalsmiths are put to shame by their idols. Their statues are false gods. They can’t breathe. They are worthless jokes. When they are punished, they will disappear. Jacob’s God isn’t like them. He made everything, and Israel is the tribe that belongs to him. His name is the Lord of Armies. ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭51‬:‭15‬-‭19‬ ‭(GW‬‬) Don't allow the words and expressions lead to misinterpretation. Learn who I am. Speak my truth in love. It is not meant to be a weapon, but allow my way to find it's true course. I am the way. Come and sit with me. Allow me to bring the change you need.

My Direction

Jesus told them, “Now is not the right time for me to go. Any time is right for you. The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I say that what everyone does is evil. Go to the festival. I’m not going to this festival right now. Now is not the right time for me to go.” After saying this, Jesus stayed in Galilee. But after his brothers had gone to the festival, Jesus went. He didn’t go publicly but secretly. ‭‭John‬ ‭7‬:‭6‬-‭10‬ ‭(GW‬‬) Yes, I see you. Rest within the safety of my arms. I am ever protecting you. I watch as you go about, looking for the place you think you fit in. Slow you pace and await me. I am there, I've not left you alone. Listen for me. I will continue to give you my direction.

Reminder to Self

But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. ‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭3‬:‭14‬-‭17‬ ‭(NIV)

Walk Forward

Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let the sea resound, and all that is in it. Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them; let all the trees of the forest sing for joy. Let all creation rejoice before the Lord, for he comes, he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in his faithfulness. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭96‬:‭11‬-‭13‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Don't ignore the opportunities to sit with me. Remove the internal noise and disruptions. Calm yourself. Empty the racket from your week. Expect my calm and inner healing Wash yourself in forgiveness. Leave yesterday at my altar. Now walk forward in the way I have for you.

Open the Door

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it— not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it —they will be blessed in what they do. ‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭22‬-‭25‬ ‭(NIV‬) Do not hold onto your shame. It is not you. Your past does not define your future, nor even you now. Come to me. Allow my forgiveness to blanket you. Be wrapped in my love. Open the door in front of you and walk forward with me. I will direct your steps. ‬I will provide for you what will be needed. You are mine.

Reach Out

Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation— if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant. ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1‬:‭21‬-‭23‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Do not allow fear to become your guide. Trust in my. Listen and react to what I will tell you. Seek me and I will show myself. I am there with you, each of your days. Grow strong and walk with me. Reach out and touch the world around you.

Upon My Word

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner. Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God. He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, ‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭1‬:‭7‬-‭9‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Allow my spirit to guide you in truth. Do not be influenced by what you may see, as the enemy would paint its' deceptive picture. It is a lie. Only in me is there life. Only in me is there life. Do not allow fear to guide you. That is not from me. Speak truth and life. Walk in the power I have given you. Feed yourself upon my word.

My Light

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” ‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭12‬ (‭NIV‬‬) I am there, ever-with you. Listen for me as I whisper your name. I will show you what you need. I am your protection. Learn to walk in my boldness. My light will shine through. My way will bring clarity and direction. Seek the pathway I have created for you. I am there. My light is the way.

The Pathway

As he was walking along the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (called Peter) and Andrew. They were throwing a net into the sea because they were fishermen. Jesus said to them, “Come, follow me! I will teach you how to catch people instead of fish.” They immediately left their nets and followed him.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬-‭20‬ ‭(GW‬‬) Take the time to sit with me. Share with me those parts of the day which excites you. Unload your anxieties and anger. Leave them here upon my altar. Allow me. I will wash over you. I will cleanse you. I am preparing you for a new adventure. Follow the pathway I am unfolding for you.

Listen For Me

The people of Israel fought the Babylonians. Now their houses are filled with the bodies of their own people I killed in my anger and my fury. I will hide my face from this city because of its wickedness. “But I will heal this city and restore it to health. I will heal its people, and I will give them peace and security. I will restore Judah and Israel and rebuild them as they were before. I will cleanse them from all the sins that they have committed against me. I will forgive them for all the sins that they have committed against me and for rebelling against me. Then Jerusalem will be my source of joy, praise, and honor. All the nations on earth will hear about all the blessings that I will give to Jerusalem. They will be afraid and tremble because of all the prosperity that I will provide for it.” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭33‬:‭5‬-‭9‬ ‭(GW) Place yourself with me. Allow my ways to shine from you as you go about your daily routine. Do not become complacent. Know the price which was paid for you. ...

A Prayer of David

Listen O Lord! Answer me! For I am oppressed and needy. Protect me, for I am loyal! O my God, deliver your servant, who trusts in you! Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I cry out to you all day long! Make your servant glad, for to you, O Lord, I pray! Certainly O Lord, you are kind and forgiving, and show great faithfulness to all who cry out to you. O Lord, hear my prayer! Pay attention to my plea for mercy! In my time of trouble I cry out to you, for you will answer me. None can compare to you among the gods, O Lord! Your exploits are incomparable! All the nations, whom you created, will come and worship you, O Lord. They will honor your name. For you are great and do amazing things. You alone are God. O Lord, teach me how you want me to live! Then I will obey your commands. Make me wholeheartedly committed to you! O Lord, my God, I will give you thanks with my whole heart! I will honor your name continually! For you will extend your great loyal love to me, and will deliver my life from ...

All Which You Need

You are saying about this city, ‘By the sword, famine and plague it will be given into the hands of the king of Babylon’; but this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I will surely gather them from all the lands where I banish them in my furious anger and great wrath; I will bring them back to this place and let them live in safety. They will be my people, and I will be their God. I will give them singleness of heart and action, so that they will always fear me and that all will then go well for them and for their children after them. I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will never stop doing good to them, and I will inspire them to fear me, so that they will never turn away from me. I will rejoice in doing them good and will assuredly plant them in this land with all my heart and soul. ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭32‬:‭36‬-‭41‬ ‭(NIV) Walk with me. Remember me this day. Listen for my leading you where you should go. Leave behind your anger and anxiety. They will blind you in knowin...

Learning

Jesus replied, Rather, how blessed are those who hear and obey God’s word. ‭‭Luke‬ ‭11‬:‭28‬ (‭GW‬‬) Look forward, now all about you. It is all part of my creation. Some, which you see with your eyes. The other is yet invisible to you. Yet it is all part of my creation. As you look about, ask me. What do you suppose is your part? Have you learned what I would have you to be doing?

Comprehending

He also said to them, “A lamp isn’t brought to be put under a basket or under a bed, is it? Isn’t it to be placed on a lampstand? For nothing is hidden except to be revealed, and nothing concealed except to be brought to light. If anyone has ears to hear, he had better listen!” And he said to them, Take care about what you hear. The measure you use will be the measure you receive, and more will be added to you. For whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭4‬:‭21‬-‭25‬ (‭NET) Turn aside from your distractions and wait for me. Allow me to show you what it is you need each day. Be sure to feed upon my word. Allow it to reach within you.

Testing

My brothers and sisters, consider it nothing but joy when you fall into all sorts of trials, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect effect, so that you will be perfect and complete, not deficient in anything. But if anyone is deficient in wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without reprimand, and it will be given to him. ‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬-58‬ (‭NET) Do not fear, but walk secure with me. Allow me to guide you in all aspects of your life.

Recognize Me

He called you to this salvation through our gospel, so that you may possess the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold on to the traditions that we taught you, whether by speech or by letter. Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by grace gave us eternal comfort and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good thing you do or say. ‭‭2 Thessalonians‬ ‭2‬:‭14‬-‭17‬ (‭NET) ‬‬ Turn off the internal noise and turn to me. Listen for the sounds all about you. They represent what they were created to be doing. So can you. Throw away the false and recognize me. Don't be timid. I have spoken to and called you.

Walk Through

Now may the God of peace himself make you completely holy and may your spirit and soul and body be kept entirely blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is trustworthy, and he will in fact do this. Brothers and sisters, pray for us too. Greet all the brothers and sisters with a holy kiss. I call on you solemnly in the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers and sisters. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. ‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭23‬-‭28‬ ‭(NET‬‬) Do not be in a rush, I will open the door for you, but you must walk through. Fill yourself with the truth of my word. It will guide you. It provides what you need to reach out to others. Be like the birds of the air. They know the song they are to sing.

My Blessing

The Lord says, “I will put a curse on people who trust in mere human beings, who depend on mere flesh and blood for their strength, and whose hearts have turned away from the Lord. They will be like a shrub in the desert. They will not experience good things even when they happen. It will be as though they were growing in the desert, in a salt land where no one can live. My blessing is on those people who trust in me, who put their confidence in me. They will be like a tree planted near a stream whose roots spread out toward the water. It has nothing to fear when the heat comes. Its leaves are always green. It has no need to be concerned in a year of drought. It does not stop bearing fruit. ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17‬:‭5‬-‭8‬ ‭(NET)

My Power

The 70 disciples came back very happy. They said, Lord, even demons obey us when we use the power and authority of your name! Jesus said to them, I watched Satan fall from heaven like lightning. I have given you the authority to trample snakes and scorpions and to destroy the enemy’s power. Nothing will hurt you. However, don’t be happy that evil spirits obey you. Be happy that your names are written in heaven. ‭‭Luke‬ ‭10‬:‭17‬-‭20‬ ‭(GW)‬‬ Look about. I am here with you. Sense my moving and direction. Walk forward where I go. Reach out. Reach others in my power and authority Awaken with me. Allow me to show you things you've not seen. Allow me to wash you and place direction in your life. My power releases healing.

Your Example

They asked this to test him. They wanted to find a reason to bring charges against him. Jesus bent down and used his finger to write on the ground. When they persisted in asking him questions, he straightened up and said, “The person who is sinless should be the first to throw a stone at her.” Then he bent down again and continued writing on the ground. One by one, beginning with the older men, the experts in Moses’ Teachings and Pharisees left. Jesus was left alone with the woman. Then Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Where did they go? Has anyone condemned you?” The woman answered, “No one, sir.” Jesus said, “I don’t condemn you either. Go! From now on don’t sin.” ‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭6‬-‭11‬ ‭(GW‬)‬ Allow my light to shine upon and through you. I am the light of the world. Within me is life. Follow me. I will show you the way you are to be going. I am your example.

Walk With Me

I am the gate. Those who enter the sheep pen through me will be saved. They will go in and out of the sheep pen and find food. A thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. But I came so that my sheep will have life and so that they will have everything they need. ‭‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭(GW‬‬) Have you learned what is important? You hear me, but allow me to bring the understanding. Allow truth to find its' place within your life. Let it replace fear. Come Nearer. I will feed and direct you in my way. I will be with you to keep you on the right path. Now is the time to walk with me.

The Example

Then Jesus appeared. He came from Galilee to the Jordan River to be baptized by John. But John tried to stop him and said, “I need to be baptized by you. Why are you coming to me?” Jesus answered him, “This is the way it has to be now. This is the proper way to do everything that God requires of us.” Then John gave in to him. After Jesus was baptized, he immediately came up from the water. Suddenly, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God coming down as a dove to him. Then a voice  from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love— my Son with whom I am pleased.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭3‬:‭13‬-‭17‬ ‭(GW‬‬) Learn to trust me. Have I not done those things which I said I would provide for you? Even now I speak my heart to you and yet you get tense and begin to worry. Trust me. Follow what I have shown you. Follow the example I provide.

Peace and Direction

Listen to the message that the Lord has spoken to you, nation of Israel. This is what the Lord says: Don’t learn the practices of the nations. Don’t be frightened by the signs in the sky because the nations are frightened by them. The religion of the people is worthless. Woodcutters cut down trees from the forest. The hands of craftsmen prepare them with axes. Craftsmen decorate them with silver and gold and fasten them together with hammers and nails so that they won’t fall over. These trees are like scarecrows in cucumber gardens. They aren’t able to speak. They have to be carried, because they can’t walk. Don’t be afraid of them. They can’t harm you. They can’t do you any good either. No one is like you, O Lord. You are great. Your name is powerful. ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭10‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭(GW‬‬) Listen for me to speak to you throughout your day. I do not need be in a thunderous voice. In the quietness of thoughts I will send my gentle breeze. My direction will ride upon them. Leave those nerves a...

Become Strong

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Bring to me your worry and leave it upon my altar. Allow it to be burned as an offering. Even day to day, do you your remember our conversations? Sit and offer them up as my direction and feeling towards you. Grow in the fullness of grace. Eat daily of my Word. Become strong in me.

You Will See

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For everything was created by Him, in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities — all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and  by Him all things hold together. ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1‬:‭15‬-‭17‬ ‭(HCSB) I will send you back for those things you have forgotten. They are not lost, but are waiting for you to again pick them up. Reach forward with my direction. I will reveal the direction in my timing. I am growing my depth in your character. I am planting my ways, so you will see the way to be going.

Proper Perception

The poor in spirit are blessed, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs. Those who mourn are blessed, for they will be comforted. The gentle are blessed, for they will inherit the earth. Those who hunger and thirst for righteousness are blessed, for they will be filled. The merciful are blessed, for they will be shown mercy. The pure in heart are blessed, for they will see God. The peacemakers are blessed, for they will be called sons of God. Those who are persecuted for righteousness are blessed, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs. You are blessed when they insult and persecute you and falsely say every kind of evil against you because of Me. Be glad and rejoice, because your reward is great in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭3‬-‭12‬ ‭(HCSB‬‬) Leave your perceived failures upon my altar. You are covered in my incense. Prepare to walk through as you allow me to unlock those closed doors. My blessing will follow you as you share it ...

Trust

Do you trust me? Have you given to me your frustrations? Come closer to me. Allow my Spirit to wash and direct you in your daily travel. Don't live in fear, but let your confidence be in me and my guidance. Stand tall and upright. Listen as I am speaking into your life.

Psalm 23

Yahweh is my best friend and my shepherd.  I always have more than enough. He offers  a resting place for me in his luxurious love.  His tracks take me to an oasis of peace near  the quiet brook of bliss.  That’s where he restores and revives my life.  He opens before me the right path and  leads me along in his footsteps of righteousness  so that I can bring honor to his name.  Even when your path takes me through the valley  of deepest darkness, fear will never conquer me,  for you already have!  Your authority is my strength and my peace.  The comfort of your love takes away my fear.  I’ll never be lonely, for you are near. You become  my delicious feast even when my enemies dare to fight.  You anoint me with the fragrance of your Holy Spirit;  you give me all I can drink of you until my cup overflows.  So why would I fear the future?  Only goodness and  tender love pursue me all the d...

Do You Believe?

Sit. Close your eyes and listen for the sound of my presence. Don't be in a rush. Open yourself and spill your fears to me. Believe I hear you. Believe I am working in your life. Watch for me. I will show myself to you this day. Do you believe me?

My Sharing

Afterward, Jesus’ disciples and those close to him remained behind to ask Jesus about his parables. He said to them, “The privilege of intimately knowing the mystery of God’s kingdom realm has been granted to you, but not to the others, where everything is revealed in parables. For even when they see what I do, they will not understand, and when they hear what I say, they will learn nothing, otherwise they would repent and be forgiven.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭4‬:‭10‬-‭12‬ ‭(TPT)‬‬ Take the time in your day and share with me your feelings. Tell me of your failings and those highlights. Allow me to point out where I was at work in them. Don't fear asking for forgiveness. The more I can share with you, the more you will be able to share with others.

Pass Through

Jerusalem, I have stationed intercessors on your walls who will never be silent, day or night. You “reminders” of Yahweh, take no rest, and tirelessly give God no rest, until he firmly establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of all the earth! Yahweh swears an oath by the authority of his right hand and by his mighty arm: “I will never again give your new grain as food for your enemies, nor will foreigners drink your new wine that you worked hard to produce. Instead, you who harvest it will eat it and offer your praise to Yahweh, and you who gather the grapes will drink the new wine in my holy courts.” Pass through, pass through the gates, and go from old to new. Prepare a new path for the people. Build! Build up a highway for them to come to me! Remove every hindrance and unfurl a banner for the nations! ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭62‬:‭6‬-‭10‬ ‭(TPT) ‬‬

My Example

Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out impure spirits and to heal every disease and sickness. These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭10‬:‭1‬, ‭5‬-‭8‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Drive out the demons which oppress my people. Reach out and release my wholeness and healing. Allow my power to flow through you. Do not be anxious, but trust in me. and my covering. Follow the example I have shown you.

Hear Me

No longer will you have the sun for light by day, Nor for brightness will the moon give you light; But you will have the Lord for an everlasting light, And your God for your glory. Your sun will no longer set, Nor will your moon wane; For you will have the Lord for an everlasting light, And the days of your mourning will be over. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭60‬:‭19‬-‭20‬ ‭(NASB1995) Do not hesitate, but come with me. I will direct your pathway. I will show you the way for you to be going. Do not allow fear to be your guide. It will lead you away from your way. It will cause confusion, leading you from my plans for you. Come. Talk with me. Allow me to bring healing so you can hear me clearly.

Moving Forward

I was angry because of their sinful greed, so I punished them, hid ⌞from them⌟, and remained angry. But they continued to be sinful. I’ve seen their sinful ways, but I’ll heal them. I’ll guide them and give them rest. I’ll comfort them and their mourners. I’ll create praise on their lips: “Perfect peace to those both far and near.” “I’ll heal them,” says the Lord. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭57‬:‭17‬-‭19‬ ‭(GW‬‬) Develop a new habit. Listen expectantly to hear from me. Develop into what I already see within you. Keep moving forward. Allow my peace to set upon you.

Your Guide

Turn aside from wrong thinking and anger. Sit with me to be changed in me. I am with you. I am not loud nor pushy. Learn to recognize my gentle prompting. I give you opportunities to practice what you need be doing. I speak forth new life into your situation. It is up to you to recognize me and follow through. Yes, I am with you. I am guiding your way.

The Journey

Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness and who seek the Lord: Look to the rock from which you were cut and to the quarry from which you were hewn; ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭51‬:‭1‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Look beyond your fears and look to me. I am there. I am ever present in your journey. Reach out to others as I reach out to you. Speak my truth in love. Point them to me in their journey.

I Am the Way

For Jehovah created the heavens and earth and put everything in place, and he made the world to be lived in, not to be an empty chaos. I am Jehovah, he says, and there is no other! I publicly proclaim bold promises; I do not whisper obscurities in some dark corner so that no one can know what I mean. And I didn’t tell Israel to ask me for what I didn’t plan to give! No, for I, Jehovah, speak only truth and righteousness. Isaiah 45: 18-19 (TLB) Pay attention in your journey. I am with you. I will provide the directions you will need. I will show you the way for you to be going. Are you ready? Don't be fooled by the lying ways of the enemy. Deception is his ploy. Death is his endgame. Walk with me. I am still the way, the truth and the life.

Believe

What have you heard me say to you? Have you written it down so you do not forget it or allow the enemy to steal me away. Speak aloud to the nature about you. It too is my creation. Let my words pour forth to the earth. Believe in me. Depend upon me. I have been with you since the beginning.

Your Routine

He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit. ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭17‬-‭18‬ ‭(NIV)‬‬ Interrupt your routine. Sit where you are now and listen to my voice. Hear me. I am not disappointed, nor am I angry. Allow my presence to sooth your anxieties. Follow my direction. There is no need for fear. Allow me to clear away those self-accusations. Sit with me. Receive my acceptance.

Reminder

But you are my servant Israel, Jacob, whom I have chosen, the descendant of Abraham, my dear friend. I have taken you from the ends of the earth and called you from its most distant places. I said to you, You are my servant. I’ve chosen you; I haven’t rejected you.’ Don’t be afraid, because I am with you. Don’t be intimidated; I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will support you with my victorious right hand. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭41‬:‭8‬-‭10‬ ‭(GW‬‬) I have been with you in the past. I am yet with you. Allow me to reopen my supernatural ways and directions for you. Step forward where I shall show you. Listen, expecting me to guide you.

Rosh Hashanah

The Lord spoke to Moses, Tell the Israelites: On the first day of the seventh month hold a worship festival. It will be a memorial day, a holy assembly announced by the blowing of rams’ horns. Don’t do any regular work. Bring a sacrifice by fire to the Lord. The Lord spoke to Moses, “In addition, the tenth day of this seventh month is a special day for the payment for sins. There will be a holy assembly. Humble yourselves, and bring the Lord a sacrifice by fire. Don’t do any work that day. It is a special day for the payment for sins. It is a time when you make peace with the Lord your God. Those who do not humble themselves on that day will be excluded from the people. I will kill those who do any work on that day. Don’t do any work. It is a permanent law for generations to come wherever you live. It is a day of rest, a day when you don’t work. Humble yourselves starting on the evening of the ninth day of the month. From that evening to the next, observe the day of rest as a holy day....

Blessings

Listen to the sounds of morning. Each has its' own song. Each sings out. They call forth what's been given to them. Give thanks. Call out to me knowing I hear you. Know my blessing is upon you.

Be silent and listen to me, you coastlands. Let the people gain new strength. Let them come near and speak. Let us come together for judgment. “Who has raised up from the east someone to whom the Lord gives victory with every step he takes? Nations are handed over to him. He defeats kings. With his sword he turns them into dust. With his bow he turns them into straw blown by the wind. He chases them, marching by safely on a path his feet have never traveled before. Who has accomplished this? Who has determined the course of history from the beginning? I, the Lord, was there first, and I will be there to the end. I am the one!” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭41‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭(GW)

Reach Out

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary. So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith. ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭6‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ (‭NASB1995‬‬) Look about. I am here with you, now. Sense my moving and direction. Do not Be anxious but walk forward where I go. Reach out. Reach others in my power and  with my authority. Open your eyes and see  what I am about to do.

Approval

What can we say that we have discovered about our ancestor Abraham? If Abraham had God’s approval because of something he did, he would have had a reason to brag. But he could not brag to God about it. What does Scripture say? Abraham believed God, and that faith was regarded as the basis of Abraham’s approval by God. ‭‭Romans‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭(GW‬‬) Don't become jealous of what you see within others. Follow the way I have created for you. You can become sure of what you are to be doing. Follow forward until you hear my correcting you. Reach out to others. Grow in my ways.

Listening

In the beginning God created heaven and earth. The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep water. The Spirit of God was hovering over the water. Then God said, “Let there be light!” So there was light. God saw the light was good. So God separated the light from the darkness. God named the light day, and the darkness he named night. There was evening, then morning—the first day. ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭(GW‬‬) Listen to the sounds about you. Hear as the birds call out from above. They do what they created to be doing. Don't become confused by the noise and sounds of the enemy will put before you. Do not choose to listen but instead hear me. Listen and hear me clearly. Feed upon my written word. Allow it to guide you in your walk. Listen. I am speaking to you.

Share My Ways

This is what the Lord, who saved Abraham, says about the descendants of Jacob: Jacob will no longer be ashamed. Jacob’s face will no longer turn pale. When they see all their children, the children I made with my hands, they will acknowledge my name as holy. They will treat the Holy One of Jacob as holy. They will stand in terror of the God of Israel. Then those who are wayward in spirit will gain understanding, and those who complain will accept instruction. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭29‬:‭22‬-‭24‬ ‭(GW) Come closer. Hide within the safety of my shadow. Release the tension which grasps at you. Listen and I will fill you with what you need. Share my ways and words with others.

My GOD

O Lord, you are my God. I will highly honor you; I will praise your name. You have done miraculous things. You have been completely reliable in carrying out your plans from long ago. You have turned cities into ruins, fortified cities into piles of rubble, and foreigners’ palaces into cities that will never be rebuilt. That is why strong people will honor you, and cities ruled by the world’s tyrants will fear you. You have been a refuge for the poor, a refuge for the needy in their distress, a shelter from the rain, and shade from the heat. (A tyrant’s breath is like a rainstorm against a wall, like heat in a dry land.) You calm the uproar of foreigners. The song of tyrants is silenced like heat that is ⌞reduced⌟ by the shadow of a cloud. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭25‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭(GW‬‬)

My Peace

On that day the Lord will use his fierce and powerful sword to punish Leviathan, that slippery snake, Leviathan, that twisting snake. He will kill that monster which lives in the sea. On that day sing about a delightful vineyard. I, the Lord, watch over it. I water it continually. I watch over it day and night so that no one will harm it. I am no longer angry. If only thorns and briars would confront me! I would fight them in battle and set all of them on fire. Or else let them come to me for protection. Let them make peace with me. Yes, let them make peace with me. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭27‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭(GW) Yes, you are my people. I have covered your shame. I have released my blessing upon you. Walk freely forward in my name. Listen for me as I guide you in our journey. You will grow in my ways. Learn who you are with me. Allow my peace to cover you.

My Favor

So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, or by your believing what you heard? So also Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭(NIV) Come to the place where you last heard me speak to you. Close your eyes and shutout the distractions. Go back rehash your dream from last night. I was speaking to you, In it are directions for you. Write it out. Follow through with me. Grow in my favor.

Wonderous Expectation

What if I had a word for your life? Would you recognize my voice and follow through without fear? If you listen you can hear me speaking to you. Don't ignore me. Listen for my directing. Find me in the written Word and allow me to encourage others through you. Don't run away, but allow me to bring healing. It is time to again be filled with me and wonderous expectation.

With Open Eyes

So a second time they called the man who had been blind, and said to him, “Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.” He then answered, “Whether He is a sinner, I do not know; one thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.” So they said to him, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?” He answered them, “I told you already and you did not listen; why do you want to hear it again? You do not want to become His disciples too, do you?” ‭‭John‬ ‭9‬:‭24‬-‭27‬ (‭NASB1995‬‬) Don't sit on the runway. It is time for you to take off. Remove the obstacles and move forward. Fly where I show you to fly. Reach those I bring to you for healing. Speak the peace I have given to you. Share wholeness. Allow them to see the Jesus within your life.

Calling Out

Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me,  for in you I take refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow  of your wings until the disaster has passed. I cry out to God Most High, to God, who vindicates me. He sends from heaven and saves me,  rebuking those who hotly pursue me— God sends forth his love and his faithfulness.  I am in the midst of lions; I am forced to dwell among ravenous beasts— men whose teeth are spears and arrows,  whose tongues are sharp swords. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;  let your glory be over all the earth. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭57‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭(NIV‬‬)

I Am Calling

Then the Lord called Samuel. Samuel answered, “Here I am.” And he ran to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.” But Eli said, “I did not call; go back and lie down.” So he went and lay down. Again the Lord called, “Samuel!” And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.” “My son,” Eli said, “I did not call; go back and lie down.” Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord: The word of the Lord had not yet been revealed to him. A third time the Lord called, “Samuel!” And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.” Then Eli realized that the Lord was calling the boy. So Eli told Samuel, “Go and lie down, and if he calls you, say, ‘Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.’ ” So Samuel went and lay down in his place. The Lord came and stood there, calling as at the other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” Then Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant is listening.” ‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭3‬:‭4‬-‭10‬ ‭(NIV) Come to the places where I can meet with you. If you liste...

His Shadow

A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit. The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him— the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord— and he will delight in the fear of the Lord. He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears with his ears; but with righteousness he will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked. Righteousness will be his belt and faithfulness the sash around his waist. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭11‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Are you prepared? Are you ready? I have a mantle for you. My covering is now. Are you ready to walk with me in my pathway? Follow where I will have you go. Be courageous in my spirit of gentleness. My spirit will lead you. Walk forward without fear. My son is your example. Go with hi...

prayer

Listen to my prayer, O God, do not ignore my plea; hear me and answer me. My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught because of what my enemy is saying, because of the threats of the wicked; for they bring down suffering on me and assail me in their anger. My heart is in anguish within me; the terrors of death have fallen on me. Fear and trembling have beset me; horror has overwhelmed me. I said, “Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest. I would flee far away and stay in the desert; I would hurry to my place of shelter, far from the tempest and storm. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭55‬:‭1‬-‭8‬ ‭(NIV) ‬‬

Don't Give Up

Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken. But you, God, will bring down the wicked into the pit of decay; the bloodthirsty and deceitful will not live out half their days. But as for me, I trust in you. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭55‬:‭22‬-‭23‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Don't give up. Persevere in what I have shown you. Reach toward the goal, believing my word is true. Feed upon the word as you can share my heart.

the way

I looked, and I saw the likeness of a throne of lapis lazuli above the vault that was over the heads of the cherubim. The Lord said to the man clothed in linen, “Go in among the wheels beneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with burning coals from among the cherubim and scatter them over the city.” And as I watched, he went in. Now the cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple when the man went in, and a cloud filled the inner court. Then the glory of the Lord rose from above the cherubim and moved to the threshold of the temple. The cloud filled the temple, and the court was full of the radiance of the glory of the Lord. ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭10‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Don't allow the seeds of the enemy to sprout in you. He wishes to kill and steal your joy. I am the way. Come follow what I have. Be like my sheep. Learn my voice and follow. Grow strong in me.

Now is the Time

He told the crowd to sit down on the ground. When he had taken the seven loaves and given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people, and they did so. They had a few small fish as well; he gave thanks for them also and told the disciples to distribute them. The people ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. About four thousand were present. After he had sent them away, he got into the boat with his disciples and went to the region of Dalmanutha. ‭‭Mark‬ ‭8‬:‭6‬-‭10‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Toss aside your waste and those failures from the past. This is now. This is your time to walk with my freedom. Don't be looking back, but look ahead with me. Go forward. I will lead your way. I will illuminate your pathway.

Your Walk

Come, let’s consider your options, says the Lord. “Though your sins have stained you like the color red, you can become white like snow; though they are as easy to see as the color scarlet, you can become white like wool. If you have a willing attitude and obey, then you will again eat the good crops of the land. But if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword. Know for certain that the Lord has spoken.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭1‬:‭18‬-‭20‬ ‭(NET) Walk the pathway I have created for you. Listen for my voice directing and encouraging as you move forward. I will provide what you need. Do not walk in fear, but be filled with me. Be  ready to be poured out in my service. I am the  pathway of truth. Walk forward in my grace.
