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.

Are You Listening?

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.

My Ways

In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.’ ” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Don't ignore your dreams. Write them down so you do not forget them. Learn that I am speaking to you, giving directions for living. I am announcing my ways for your life.

My Word

After that you will come to the Hill of God where there are Philistine garrisons. When you arrive at the city, you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place prophesying. They will be preceded by harps, tambourines, flutes, and lyres. The Spirit of the Lord will control you, you will prophesy with them, and you will be transformed into a different person. When these signs have happened to you, do whatever your circumstances require because God is with you. ‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭10‬:‭5‬-‭7‬ ‭(HCSB) Turn away from the nose and distractions which try to keep you from me. If you listen you can hear my voice speaking to you. Come to the other side and fulfill those things which I have placed within you to accomplish. Feed them my word, as you heal the sick and raise the dead. Speak my word to them.

I Am There

After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone. There he was transfigured before them. His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them. And there appeared before them Elijah and Moses, who were talking with Jesus. ‭‭Mark‬ ‭9‬:‭2‬-‭4‬ (‭NIV) I do not play hide and seek. I am there with you constantly. It is up to you‬‬. Do you wish to find me? or are you satisfied to call upon me when you think you need me? Follow what my word tells you. Allow me to speak through it. Practice what you sense I am speaking to you. Yes, I am there too.

The Gate

Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” ‭‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭7‬-‭11‬ ‭NIV Are you listening? You need to quiet your internal noise if you expect to hear me. Put aside the mindless chatter and fill yourself with my written word. Feed upon it. I have not changed. I am your gate I am your shepherd.

Directions

This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.’ ” John’s clothes were made of camel’s hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey. People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region of the Jordan. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭3‬:‭3‬-‭6‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Don't walk away. Draw closer and ask for forgiveness. Become what I see Wash yourself in my Word. It is truth. Allow it to feed you what is needed.

Do Not Be Distracted

The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.” Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Then a voice said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” He replied, “I have been very zealous for the Lord God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, torn down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too.” ‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭19‬:‭11‬-‭14‬ (‭NIV‬‬) Do not be distracted by the voices who whisper behind your back. They are but accusers. They want your attention. They wi...

Your Strength

Jesus told him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you know me, you will also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him.’ ‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭(CSBA‬‬) Do not become discouraged, but take the way I have shown you. I will redirect you if you walk off course. You are to be dependent upon me. Allow my Word to work within you. Your dependence upon me will become your strength. Walk in my truth.

Listening

We have the same spirit of faith. As it is written, “I believed, and therefore I have spoken.” So we also believe and therefore speak, knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us through Jesus and will present us with you. All these things are for your sakes, so that the abundant grace through the thanksgiving of many might overflow to the glory of God. ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬-‭15‬ ‭(MEV) Listen for me. I have secrets to deliver to you. Like seeds, these too will need to take root and bloom.‬‬ They require the water I can provide. Yes, be listening for me as I direct you in your journey.

Waiting

Out of the depths I call to You, Yahweh! Lord, listen to my voice; let Your ears be attentive to my cry for help. Yahweh, if You considered sins, Lord, who could stand? But with You there is forgiveness, so that You may be revered. I wait for Yahweh; I wait and put my hope in His word. I wait for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning — more than watchmen for the morning. Israel, put your hope in the Lord. For there is faithful love with the Lord, and with Him is redemption in abundance. And He will redeem Israel from all its sins. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭130‬:‭1‬-‭8‬ ‭(HCSB‬‬)

For This Time

Therefore, since we have this ministry, just as God has shown us mercy, we do not become discouraged. But we have rejected shameful hidden deeds, not behaving with deceptiveness or distorting the word of God, but by open proclamation of the truth we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience before God. But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled only to those who are perishing, among whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of those who do not believe so they would not see the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God. ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ (‭NET) Do not be discouraged. Leave your problems with me. Wash yourself in my word. Allow it to guide you. Be active in doing what I've shared with you.‬‬

Listening for Me

But be sure you live out the message and do not merely listen to it and so deceive yourselves. For if someone merely listens to the message and does not live it out, he is like someone who gazes at his own face in a mirror. For he gazes at himself and then goes out and immediately forgets what sort of person he was. But the one who peers into the perfect law of liberty and fixes his attention there, and does not become a forgetful listener but one who lives it out – he will be blessed in what he does. ‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭22‬-‭25‬ ‭(NET‬‬) Listen to the sounds as they float about you. Each is unique and true. Join in, allow your voice To speak forth. I will fill you with what needs said. I will direct you, correcting when needed. Rest in me. Allow me entrance into your heart and time. If you expect to receive from me, be ready to respond. Be listening for me.

Learn Wisdom

But wisdom – where does it come from? Where is the place of understanding? For it has been hidden from the eyes of every living creature, and from the birds of the sky it has been concealed. Destruction and Death say, ‘With our ears we have heard a rumor about where it can be found.’ God understands the way to it, and he alone knows its place. For he looks to the ends of the earth and observes everything under the heavens. When he made the force of the wind and measured the waters with a gauge. When he imposed a limit for the rain, and a path for the thunderstorm, then he looked at wisdom and assessed its value; he established it and examined it closely. And he said to mankind, ‘The fear of the Lord – that is wisdom, and to turn away from evil is understanding.’ ‭‭Job‬ ‭28‬:‭20‬-‭28‬ ‭(NET) Do not become lost in your minutia, but quiet yourself. Listen patiently. I will clear up all that you give to me. I wait for you. Learn to recognize my ways. I will re-direct you as you ask for me....

In My Way

Do not allow your expectations of me hinder our relationship. Be seeking me. I will feed you what is needed. I will open you to new ways and new worlds, but in my way. Allow me to lead you in the pathway. See me as your righteous father. Come, sit with me.

Your Answer

As he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. And a great storm developed on the sea so that the waves began to swamp the boat. But he was asleep. So they came and woke him up saying, “Lord, save us! We are about to die!” But he said to them, “Why are you cowardly, you people of little faith?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it was dead calm. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭8‬:‭23‬-‭26‬ ‭(NET) Let me become your peace, the safe place. I will guide you in the way you should be going. I will be with you. My peace is beyond your understanding. Watch for me. I will be your answer.

Come Deeper

Be strong and courageous! Do not fear or tremble before them, for the Lord your God is the one who is going with you. He will not fail you or abandon you! ‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭31‬:‭6‬ (‭NET‬‬) Put aside the distractions of worry and focus upon me. Seek me and my ways. Consume my Word, the written and spoken. Apply them and walk forward with me. Come deeper in my Word. Allow me to show you the way for you to travel. Walk with me.

At My Altar

Now this is what I am saying, brothers and sisters: Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Listen, I will tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed – in a moment, in the blinking of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality. ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15‬:‭50‬-‭53‬ (‭NET‬) God sees you as a faithful servant. Walk‬ with him. Allow him and his ways to wash and direct you. Find yourself where you belong. Find yourself with me. Yes, I hear your prayers and requests. Bring them to me and leave them at my altar.

Whoever Has

For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open. Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they think they have will be taken from them. ‭‭Luke‬ ‭8‬:‭17‬-‭18‬ ‭(NIV) I am there with you. Recognize my voice. Reach out believing my written word. Allow healing and favor to flow forth from you. Reach into the heavenly places, Bring my life down to earth. Share my heart with others.

Moving Forward

The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord; he is their stronghold in time of trouble. The Lord helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in him. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37‬:‭39‬-‭40‬ (‭NIV) Wash yourself and come closer. Reach out to me expecting I will be there. Move forward, believing. Read my Word. Allow it to guide you in my truth. I am your refuge. I will continue to show you the way for you to be going. The journey is far from over.

Today is the Day

I have given you a name and a purpose. My seal is upon you. Now reach out. Speak my name aloud. Reflect my glory. Today is the day for you to speak what I will give you to share. Do not allow fear nor perceived judging hinder you. I am with you. Yes, today is the day to step upward.

Responding

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil. For those who are evil will be destroyed, but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land. A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found. But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy peace and prosperity. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37‬:‭7‬-‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Listen to the sounds of morning. My creation reverberates with the sound of my voice. It speaks of what it knows, what it was created to be. You too have a voice. Listen to the words You speak. Hear them. What are the emotions being created and carried? Know that at some part they will return to you. Will you know them? Will you be weighed by them? Listen now to the morning as it passes by you. I am there. Recognize me. and respond to my loving directions.

Here With You

I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said, ‘You are my servant’; I have chosen you and have not rejected you. So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭41‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Yes, you can hear my speaking to you. Now react. Strengthen yourself and walk the way I will show you. I will guide you through the hard times. I will provide the refreshing water. I am here with you now.

Differing Gifts

There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines. ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭4‬-‭11‬ ‭(NIV)‬‬

The True Pathway

After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭17‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ (‭NIV)‬‬ ‬‬ You seem perplexed, as if looking about for me. I am there. I am with you. I have never left. Don't rely upon your feelings. What does my written word say? Within it you will find my answer. Within  it the true pathway will emerge.

Upon the Waters

Peter said to Him, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” And He said, “Come!” And Peter got out of the boat, and walked on the water and came toward Jesus. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭14‬:‭28‬-‭29‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬ Watch for me and I will show myself to you. I will display the power of my love. Learn to listen and apply what I pour over you. Share me. Walk secure, responding when I prompt you. Awaken. It is time for you to share what I've placed within you. Stand tall. It is time for you to walk upon the waters.

Allow Me

The Lord sees all we do; he watches over his friends day and night. His godly ones receive the answers they seek whenever they cry out to him. But the Lord has made up his mind to oppose evildoers and to wipe out even the memory of them from the face of the earth. Yet when holy lovers of God cry out to him with all their hearts, the Lord will hear them and come to rescue them from all their troubles. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭34‬:‭15‬-‭17‬ ‭(TPT‬‬) As you learn more of my ways, you will recognize the traps and counterfeits the enemy would place for you. Walk firm in  my light. Allow me to lead you. With me  there is no burden. Become secure in me.

Open Your Heart

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬-‭7‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Don't rush through your day, but learn to spend time with me. Learn the secrets I have for you. Be open to my Word. Hear me speak to you through it. It remains truth. In it are the secrets of life. In it I open truth, showing you the way to travel. I direct you to my son. Open your heart to me. Allow my healing to move through you.

When in Doubt

Keep your thoughts continually fixed on All that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind. And fasten your thoughts on every glorious work of God, praising him always. Put into practice the example of all that you have heard from me or seen in my life and the God of peace will be with you in all things. ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭(TPT)‬‬

What You Need

And the Levites—Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah and Pethahiah—said: “Stand up and praise the Lord your God, who is from everlasting to everlasting.” “Blessed be your glorious name, and may it be exalted above all blessing and praise. You alone are the Lord. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you. ‭‭Nehemiah‬ ‭9‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Do not fear the roar of the enemy. He seeks to bring terror. He wishes to take your eyes away from me. I am life. Stand up! Walk upon the water with me. Allow me to show you what you need to see.

My Word

While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes. “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam” (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing. ‭‭John‬ ‭9‬:‭5‬-‭7‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Turn your pain over to me. Allow the past to remain past and not your future. I can heal you. Wholeness and purpose are there for you. My word is truth. Feed upon it. Share it with others I bring into your path.

Stretch Out

He said to them, “If any of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will you not take hold of it and lift it out? How much more valuable is a person than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.” Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out and it was completely restored, just as sound as the other. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭12‬:‭11‬-‭13‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) As you change seat your point of direction varies. It adjusts to where you look and what you think you may see. Take time. Ask from me. Allow me to refill you in my timing. Allow me to guide you day by day.

Do Right

In the Lord’s hand the king’s heart is a stream of water that he channels toward all who please him. A person may think their own ways are right, but the Lord weighs the heart. To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. Haughty eyes and a proud heart— the unplowed field of the wicked—produce sin. ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭21‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Do right. I have shown you the way. Walk in the pathway of righteousness, not tripping over the small things. My ways are pure and right. Follow me. I will guide you. I will be your protection.

Freely Give

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 ‭10‬:‭5‬-‭8‬ (NIV‬‬) Come along. Follow the pathway I have set before you. You will recognize my directions. Act in the love you have received from me. Continue to speak my ways. Let your words and actions be the blessing you receive.

Pick Up Your Mat

One man was there who had been sick for 38 years. When Jesus saw him lying there and knew he had already been there a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to get well? ” “Sir,” the sick man answered, “I don’t have a man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I’m coming, someone goes down ahead of me.” “Get up,” Jesus told him, “pick up your mat and walk! ” Instantly the man got well, picked up his mat, and started to walk. Now that day was the Sabbath, ‭‭John‬ ‭5‬:‭5‬-‭9‬ ‭(HCSB) Don't be trapped by the thoughts of past ‬‬failures or lies. Do not listen to those accusations, but hear me. Quiet yourself and listen for my voice. I will guide you in the pathway of righteousness. I will declare your purpose. I remain the truth. In my way is life. Come with me and grow. Become whom I already see.

Your Healing

When Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him while He was by the sea. One of the synagogue leaders, named Jairus, came, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at His feet and kept begging Him, “My little daughter is at death’s door. Come and lay Your hands on her so she can get well and live.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭5‬:‭21‬-‭23‬ ‭(HCSB‬‬) Come and sit with me. Allow my peace to cover and protect you. Do not become distracted by the noise of the enemy. Fill yourself with my Word. It is the only source of truth. It will continually unfold as you learn from it. Believe me for your healing.

The Voice

The voice of the Lord is over the waters; the God of glory thunders; the Lord is over many waters. The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty. The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars; the Lord splinters the cedars of Lebanon. He makes them skip like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion like a wild ox. The voice of the Lord divides the flames of fire. The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness; the Lord shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh. The voice of the Lord makes the deer give birth, and strips the forests bare; and in His temple everyone says, “Glory!” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭29‬:‭3‬-‭9‬ ‭(MEV‬‬) Put aside your anxiety and look to me. I am there with you. I will protect and guide you in the way you should be going. Follow where you hear me guiding you. I am your strength and protection. I am your voice.

Walk Secure

Then they asked Jesus to leave their region. As he was getting into the boat the man who had been demon-possessed asked if he could go with him. But Jesus did not permit him to do so. Instead, he said to him, “Go to your home and to your people and tell them what the Lord has done for you, that he had mercy on you.” So he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis what Jesus had done for him, and all were amazed. ‭‭Mark‬ ‭5‬:‭17‬-‭20‬ ‭(NET‬‬) Do not allow anxiety to grip you. Take time and talk with me, expecting I hear you and care for you. Allow my Spirit to guide and guard you in your journey. Walk secure in the way I show you. Yes, walk secure with me.

Yield to My Spirit

Hear me as I pray, O Lord. Be merciful and answer me! My heart has heard you say, “Come and talk with me.” And my heart responds, “Lord, I am coming.” Do not turn your back on me. Do not reject your servant in anger. You have always been my helper. Don’t leave me now; don’t abandon me, O God of my salvation! Even if my father and mother abandon me, the Lord will hold me close. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭27‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Pause in your day and watch for what I may wish to speak to you. Allow the day to unpeel, layer by layer. Let it become like the years of my guiding you. At each point there is something there for you. A new glory for you to learn and experience. See the signs. Yield to my Spirit. Relearn to fly with me.

A Redirection

Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭12‬-‭13‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Do not hold onto anger. It will burn you and those around you. Let it go and replace it with the forgiveness you already received. You have received my love. Allow it to grow within you and with those around you. You are to be a reflection of me .

My Peace and Healing

When you pray, don’t be like the hypocrites who love to pray publicly on street corners and in the synagogues where everyone can see them. I tell you the truth, that is all the reward they will ever get. But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭(NLT) Don't be surprised when I send people to you for prayer. Allow me to reach out through you to touch them.‬‬ I will give you the words which they need. I will work my ways through you. Speak my peace and healing into their lives.

Blessings

God blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy. God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God. God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God. God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ (‭NLT)‬‬ Listen for me throughout your day. I am there with you. I will guide you in the way of peace, bringing wholeness into your life. I am who you need. In me is life.

My Voice

Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭25‬:‭4‬-‭5‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Don't allow anger to guide you. It will take you off-track, away from where you should be. Let my peace become your blanket. Look for me. I will be there with you. Recognize my voice and come closer to me. Receive what you need.     

Believing

Then Elisha prayed, “O Lord, open his eyes and let him see!” The Lord opened the young man’s eyes, and when he looked up, he saw that the hillside around Elisha was filled with horses and chariots of fire. ‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭6‬:‭17‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) There are changes which you can make. Allow me to show you those things you can be doing. I will open your heart, filling you with a renewed joy. My peace is there for you. Reach out believing. Your eyes will see things with new insight. Reach out to me. I will be there.

Learning Trust

The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name. Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭23‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Rest in me. Close your eyes and allow me to be your guide. Follow me directions and I will take you where you need be, to places where you can grow. Close your eyes and learn to trust in me .

Open Your Heart

Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us. Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other. ‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭3‬-‭5‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Sit with me. Come into my heavenly places. I will show you my majesty. There are layers upon layers of glory for you to explore. I will open doorways and stairways you've not yet observed. Come and sit with me. Open your heart to my ways.

Psalm 91

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will remain secure and rest in the shadow of the Almighty [whose power no enemy can withstand]. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust [with great confidence, and on whom I rely]! For He will save you from the trap of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you and completely protect you with His pinions, And under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and a wall. You will not be afraid of the terror of night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day, Nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, Nor of the destruction (sudden death) that lays waste at noon. A thousand may fall at your side And ten thousand at your right hand, But danger will not come near you. You will only [be a spectator as you] look on with your eyes And witness the [divine] repayment of the wicked [as you watch safely from the shelter of the Most High]. Because you have made the Lord, [who i...

Rested in Me

But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash. When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭26‬-‭29‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Wipe your slate clean. Wash away those failures and watch for me. I am there with you throughout your day. I have known my plans for you before you even existed. Sit with me now. As you read this, absorb my love. Move forward rested in me as I will direct you.

Approaching Rain

In the morning, they got up early and went out to the wilderness of Tekoa. As they were about to go out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Hear me, Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem. Believe in Yahweh your God, and you will be established; believe in His prophets, and you will succeed.” ‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭20‬:‭20‬ ‭(HCSB) Do not have internal doubts that you can hear me. I will speak to you in many ways and will draw you to myself. my peace and directions will bring life and safety. I will show you what you need to see in my timing. Listen for the sound of approaching rain. I am there. ‬‬

All You Need

So He got into a boat, crossed over, and came to His own town. Just then some men brought to Him a paralytic lying on a mat. Seeing their faith, Jesus told the paralytic, “Have courage, son, your sins are forgiven.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭9‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭(HCSB‬‬) Do not be ashamed or discouraged, but come to me. Come and receive the peace which is for you. Forgiveness is here for you. Come near and be healed of the lies of the enemy. I am all you need. Quiet the messes of your day. Sit and listen to me.

Great Reward

The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true; they are righteous altogether. They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb. Moreover, by them Your servant is warned; In keeping them there is great reward. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭19‬:‭7‬-‭11‬ (‭NASB1995‬‬) I am the ever-present, unchanging Father, your creator. In me is life. Don't be guided by the fear and anxiety which the enemy has planted. Be bold and courageous in me. Allow my love to be shared with those I place in your pathway. Recognize me and you will prosper. I am your great reward.

Believe

In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭26‬-‭28‬ (‭NASB1995)‬‬ Come closer. Do not hesitate in the shadows. Allow me to wash you in My Spirit.. My Son has already paid the price for you. Believe what you read in my Word. Reach out and realize my love.

Station to Station

Now when Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the Lord filled the house. The priests could not enter into the house of the Lord because the glory of the Lord filled the Lord’s house. All the sons of Israel, seeing the fire come down and the glory of the Lord upon the house, bowed down on the pavement with their faces to the ground, and they worshiped and gave praise to the Lord, saying, “Truly He is good, truly His lovingkindness is everlasting.” ‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭7‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ (‭NASB1995‬‬) Don't hurry through your day nor try to  bypass those hard lessons, They will return later as mountains for you to climb. Be submitted to me. Allow my love to cover you. I will help you grow. From station to station I will meet you. I will provide.

Direction for Success

A psalm of David. Adonai is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for His Name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me: Your rod and Your staff comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You have anointed my head with oil, my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the House of Adonai forever. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭23‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭(TLV‬‬) Take the time to enjoy your day. Listen to the sounds about you. Watch as I open things right before you. Hear them sing their songs. Do not be timid, but follow-through with the thoughts I place for you to open.

Seed Planting

A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds ate it up. Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown.” When he said this, he called out, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭8‬:‭5‬-‭8‬ ‭(NIV)‬‬ Plant the seeds you were given. Speak my words of peace over them. Cultivate their soil, being sure it is watered properly. Do not be in a rush to get to where You think is the destination. Spend your time wisely. Meditate upon my Word. Allow it to grow within you.

His Likeness

What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. ‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Put your trust in me and not in situations. Weigh carefully what you may say and the intent of your hasty words. Bring your frustrations to me. Lay them down and wash yourself. Use the example my son set for you. As you see others, you too should reach out to me. Grow in his likeness.

Wisdom and Knowledge

That night God appeared to Solomon and said to him, “Ask for whatever you want me to give you.” Solomon answered God, “You have shown great kindness to David my father and have made me king in his place. Now, Lord God, let your promise to my father David be confirmed, for you have made me king over a people who are as numerous as the dust of the earth. Give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead this people, for who is able to govern this great people of yours?” ‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭1‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭(NIV‬‬)

Speak to the Storms

David also said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you until all the work for the service of the temple of the Lord is finished.” ‭‭1 Chronicles‬ ‭28‬:‭20‬ ‭(NIV) Have you learned your assignment? Have you felt or seen the love my son has provided for you? Follow his example. Rely upon his strength. Speak to the storms. Calm the seas in your life.

Ever-Lasting Peace

As he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. And a great storm developed on the sea so that the waves began to swamp the boat. But he was asleep. So they came and woke him up saying, “Lord, save us! We are about to die!” But he said to them, “Why are you cowardly, you people of little faith?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it was dead calm. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭8‬:‭23‬-‭26‬ ‭(NET) Speak to the storms in your life. Turn them away, as you turn your heart to me. Allow my peace to become your blanket of protection. Partake of my living word. Speak calmly and without anger to the situations. I am your ever-lasting peace.

Come Nearer

For what does the scripture say? Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness. ”Now to the one who works, his pay is not credited due to grace but due to obligation. But to the one who does not work, but believes in the one who declares the ungodly righteous, his faith is credited as righteousness. ‭‭Romans‬ ‭4‬:‭3‬-‭5‬ ‭(NET‬‬) Come nearer. Close yourself away from the distractions and become focused upon me. Do not be fearful, for I am with you.

For My Purpose

But now apart from the law the righteousness of God (which is attested by the law and the prophets) has been disclosed – namely, the righteousness of God through the faithfulness of Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. But they are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. ‭‭Romans‬ ‭3‬:‭21‬-‭24‬ ‭(NET) Don't be in a rush. Take the time to pause in your day. Allow my direction to keep you safe. Learn to be satisfied where-ever you are. You are there for my purpose.

The LORD is Just

Certainly the Lord is just; he rewards godly deeds; the upright will experience his favor. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭11‬:‭7‬ ‭(NET‬‬) Look straight ahead and tell me what you see. Look beyond those initial distractions. Look at the possibilities. Yes, I am there. Do not get lost in the weeds ahead of you. I will go forward with you. Watch for me to lead and guide you .

Touch Them

So submit to God. But resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and make your hearts pure, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn, and weep. Turn your laughter into mourning and your joy into despair. Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will exalt you. ‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ (‭NET‬‬) Draw nearer. Become hidden in my love. Hear the breath of my Spirit. It will guide you in my ways. Yes, allow me to take you places and show you things. See what I will show you through my Spirit. Do not fear to go where I will have you to be going. Reach out in my authority and love. Touch them as I have touched you.

Call Out

I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭3‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭(NIV) Call out to me. Allow me to bring healing into the situations of your life. Release the  anger and resentment. Replace them with  my love and acceptance. I am there for you. I will fill you with my Spirit.  Call out  believing I am there.

Your Walk

David inquired of God again, and God answered him, “Do not go directly after them, but circle around them and attack them in front of the poplar trees. As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the poplar trees, move out to battle, because that will mean God has gone out in front of you to strike the Philistine army.” So David did as God commanded him, and they struck down the Philistine army, all the way from Gibeon to Gezer. So David’s fame spread throughout every land, and the Lord made all the nations fear him. ‭‭1 Chronicles‬ ‭14‬:‭14‬-‭17‬ ‭(NIV‬)‬ Don't become confused. My love does not change nor reflect from how you are acting. It is everlasting. My written Word is for you. Allow it to continually guide you. Put it to practice in your day. Put aside your frustration and walk where I show you.

What Is Needed

Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went along with him. As he approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out—the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her. When the Lord saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, “Don’t cry.” Then he went up and touched the bier they were carrying him on, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!” The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭7‬:‭11‬-‭15‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) It's time to stop that quiet complaining. Don't point out the weak points of others, but encourage them. Step along side of them and offer your help. Allow me to work through you, to bring what is needed.

Never Failing

Find me within your day. Don't rush,  but let there be purpose in your day.  Allow me to re-direct your pathways  without growling or whining. Go in  the knowing of my love. It never fails.

The Example

Allow my Word to wash over you. I will clean you with my love. Walk expectantly with me. As I've said to others, "Follow me". See me as the example to follow. Come and be with me. If you are listening, I will teach you those things which are important.

Psalm 8

Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens. Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor. You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet: all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild, the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas. Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬-‭9‬ (‭NIV) ‬‬

My Answer

Not until halfway through the festival did Jesus go up to the temple courts and begin to teach. The Jews there were amazed and asked, “How did this man get such Learning without having been taught?” Jesus answered, “My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me. Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.” ‭‭John‬ ‭7‬:‭14‬-‭17‬ (‭NIV)‬‬ Don't rush through those new situations, nor allow the enemy to lure you in ways you know are not from me. Stand firm in me and what I have taught you. Feed upon my living word and call out to me. Listen expectantly for my answer.

Look Beyond

That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel.” Then the men who had been sent returned to the house and found the servant well. ‭‭Luke‬ ‭7‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ (‭NIV) Look beyond what you see in the natural. Look to me. See and know I am there as you go about your day. Stop and listen for me as I encourage you. I am with you. Be doing what you hear me say to you.

I Am There

As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” At once they left their nets and followed him.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬-‭20‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Know that I am with you. In each part of your day, I am there. My covering and protection do not leave.

a psalm of David

Answer me when I call to you, my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress; have mercy on me and hear my prayer. How long will you people turn my glory into shame? How long will you love delusions and seek false gods? Know that the Lord has set apart his faithful servant for himself; the Lord hears when I call to him. Tremble and do not sin; when you are on your beds, search your hearts and be silent. Offer the sacrifices of the righteous and trust in the Lord. Many, Lord, are asking, “Who will bring us prosperity?” Let the light of your face shine on us. Fill my heart with joy when their grain and new wine abound. In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭8‬ ‭(NIV‬‬)
