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)

For You

I am with you! I will protect you wherever you go and will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I promised you!” Then Jacob woke up and thought, “Surely the Lord is in this place, but I did not realize it!” He was afraid and said, “What an awesome place this is! This is nothing else than the house of God! This is the gate of heaven!” Early in the morning Jacob took the stone he had placed near his head and set it up as a sacred stone. Then he poured oil on top of it. He called that place Bethel, although the former name of the town was Luz. ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭28‬:‭15‬-‭19‬ ‭(NET‬‬) Don't allow dreams from the past be stolen. They are a part of you, an awakening into what is yet unfolding. Reach out for them. Allow them the needed space. I have declared fullness for you. Step forth. Come and walk upon the waters.

Follow the Way

So he left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Harran. After the death of his father, God sent him to this land where you are now living. He gave him no inheritance here, not even enough ground to set his foot on. But God promised him that he and his descendants after him would possess the land, even though at that time Abraham had no child. ‭‭Acts‬ ‭7‬:‭4‬-‭5‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Come to me and allow me to wash you. My word will guide and protect you. My eyes will guide you through the pathway. Follow the way I have shown you. Allow me to grow and strengthen you. Do not be timid but draw nearer. Let there be no fear nor hindrance.

In Your Walk

Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Yes, enjoy your time with me. Listen for me as I give you direction and healing. Walk forward, as I am ever-with you. Do not allow fear to be your guide. I will give you time and exercises to practice what you are called to be doing. Continue in your walk with me.

A Caring God

The Lord is a jealous and avenging God; the Lord takes vengeance and is filled with wrath. The Lord takes vengeance on his foes and vents his wrath against his enemies. The Lord is slow to anger but great in power; the Lord will not leave the guilty unpunished. His way is in the whirlwind and the storm, and clouds are the dust of his feet. He rebukes the sea and dries it up; he makes all the rivers run dry. Bashan and Carmel wither and the blossoms of Lebanon fade. The mountains quake before him and the hills melt away. The earth trembles at his presence, the world and all who live in it. Who can withstand his indignation? Who can endure his fierce anger? His wrath is poured out like fire; the rocks are shattered before him. The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him. ‭‭Nahum‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬-‭7‬ ‭(NIV‬‬)

If You Listen

Isaiah had not yet gone out of the inner courtyard when the word of the Lord came to him: “Go back and tell Hezekiah, the leader of My people, ‘This is what the Lord God of your ancestor David says: I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Look, I will heal you. On the third day from now you will go up to the Lord’s temple. I will add 15 years to your life. I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for My sake and for the sake of My servant David.’ ‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭20‬:‭4‬-‭6‬ ‭(HCSB‬‬) Don't allow there to be idols in your life. Let there be freedom in your walk as you grow in my ways. The price has been paid. Be washed in my purity. If you listen, you will hear my voice.

Walk With Me

Jesus departed with His disciples to the sea, and a large crowd followed from Galilee, Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, beyond the Jordan, and around Tyre and Sidon. The large crowd came to Him because they heard about everything He was doing. Then He told His disciples to have a small boat ready for Him, so the crowd would not crush Him. Since He had healed many, all who had diseases were pressing toward Him to touch Him. Whenever the unclean spirits saw Him, those possessed fell down before Him and cried out, “You are the Son of God! ” And He would strongly warn them not to make Him known. ‭‭Mark‬ ‭3‬:‭7‬-‭12‬ ‭(HCSB‬‬) Don't be in a rush, but listen for me. I am there with you. Seek my direction for you and do not be surprised when I answer you. Answer me in honesty, not what you sense is the "right" answer. My written word will give you clear direction. Walk with me in the pathway I have for you.

Upon the Water

When the Lord made a covenant with the Israelites, he commanded them: “Do not worship any other gods or bow down to them, serve them or sacrifice to them. But the Lord, who brought you up out of Egypt with mighty power and outstretched arm, is the one you must worship. To him you shall bow down and to him offer sacrifices. You must always be careful to keep the decrees and regulations, the laws and commands he wrote for you. Do not worship other gods. Do not forget the covenant I have made with you, and do not worship other gods. Rather, worship the Lord your God; it is he who will deliver you from the hand of all your enemies. ‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭17‬:‭35‬-‭39‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Do not fear the coming darkness. In me there is light and life. In me you have direction. Do not become distracted, but place your trust in me. Listen for my voice. I will lead you here you should be. Come out. Walk upon the water with me.

Rest in Me

Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said, “Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts? Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, “Get up, take your mat and go home.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭9‬:‭4‬-‭6‬ ‭(NIV)‬‬ Don't be in a rush, but sit quietly and receive from me. Allow my healing words to penetrate you. Become whom I see now. Rest in me.

Stand Up

Elisha died and was buried. Now Moabite raiders used to enter the country every spring. Once while some Israelites were burying a man, suddenly they saw a band of raiders; so they threw the man’s body into Elisha’s tomb. When the body touched Elisha’s bones, the man came to life and stood up on his feet. ‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭13‬:‭20‬-‭21‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Listen to my words. They are truth and life. Carry them in your journey. Repeat them aloud so you do not forget them. You too will come to life. Follow my ways. Stand up. Lean upon me.

Learn My Heart

Now Elisha had been suffering from the illness from which he died. Jehoash king of Israel went down to see him and wept over him. “My father! My father!” he cried. “The chariots and horsemen of Israel!” Elisha said, “Get a bow and some arrows,” and he did so. “Take the bow in your hands,” he said to the king of Israel. When he had taken it, Elisha put his hands on the king’s hands. “Open the east window,” he said, and he opened it. “Shoot!” Elisha said, and he shot. “The Lord’s arrow of victory, the arrow of victory over Aram!” Elisha declared. “You will completely destroy the Arameans at Aphek.” Then he said, “Take the arrows,” and the king took them. Elisha told him, “Strike the ground.” He struck it three times and stopped. The man of God was angry with him and said, “You should have struck the ground five or six times; then you would have defeated Aram and completely destroyed it. But now you will defeat it only three times.” ‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭13‬:‭14‬-‭19 (‭NIV)‬‬

Stand Again

Stay alert, stand firm in the faith, show courage, be strong. Everything you do should be done in love. ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭16‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ (‭NET‬‬) Take the time to look back. Review those times which I revealed myself to you. My love for you has not changed. Rise up and stand again. It is time for you to believe me and the promises within my written Word.

Come Close

O Lord, of what importance is the human race, that you should notice them? Of what importance is mankind, that you should be concerned about them? People are like a vapor, their days like a shadow that disappears. O Lord, make the sky sink and come down! Touch the mountains and make them smolder! Hurl lightning bolts and scatter them! Shoot your arrows and rout them! Reach down from above! Grab me and rescue me from the surging water, from the power of foreigners, who speak lies, and make false promises. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭144‬:‭3‬-‭8‬ ‭(NET‬‬) Watch for me as you move about your day. I am there with you. Recognize my promptings for you to act. Learn to reach out in love and my power. Release what is needed in those circumstances. Fear not, for I am yet with you. Come closer to me and hear my voice.

Allow Me

The Lord responded: “Write down this message! Record it legibly on tablets, so the one who announces it may read it easily. For the message is a witness to what is decreed; it gives reliable testimony about how matters will turn out. Even if the message is not fulfilled right away, wait patiently; for it will certainly come to pass – it will not arrive late.” ‭‭Habakkuk‬ ‭2‬:‭2‬-‭3‬ ‭(NET) Become my message. You are to speak life. You have been redeemed from death, those lies of the enemy. See clearly. Allow me to guide you in your journey.

Set Before You

Elisha replied, “Hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Lord says, ‘About this time tomorrow a seah of finely milled flour will sell for a shekel and two seahs of barley for a shekel at the gate of Samaria.’” An officer who was the king’s right-hand man responded to the prophet, “Look, even if the Lord made it rain by opening holes in the sky, could this happen so soon?” Elisha said, “Look, you will see it happen with your own eyes, but you will not eat any of the food!” ‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭7‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭(NET‬‬) Do not be distracted by what you see or how you may feel. I am with you in your journey. I am still performing miracles. I am still reaching out to those who know me and I know them. Go forward with the plan set for you.

Reflecting

Surely I am looking to you, O sovereign Lord. In you I take shelter. Do not expose me to danger! Protect me from the snare they have laid for me, and the traps the evildoers have set. Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I escape. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭141‬:‭8‬-‭10‬ (‭NET‬‬) Be strong. Stand in my shadow of safety. I will guide you in the way created for you. Walk straight and patiently. Let your life reflect my Word.

Learning to Walk

The men of the city said to Elisha, “Look, the city has a good location, as our master can see. But the water is bad and the land doesn’t produce crops.” Elisha said, “Get me a new jar and put some salt in it.” So they got it. He went out to the spring and threw the salt in. Then he said, “This is what the Lord says, ‘I have purified this water. It will no longer cause death or fail to produce crops.” The water has been pure to this very day, just as Elisha prophesied. ‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭2‬:‭19‬-‭22‬ ‭(NET‬‬) Sometimes I repeat your lessons so you might learn the way I have for you. My love is never-ending. My way never fails. Allow my healing direction to bring you to completion. Learn my way and how to walk with the authority I have given you.

Come Closer

When Jesus came to the ruler’s house and saw the musicians and the mourners making a noise, He said to them, “Depart. The girl is not dead, but is sleeping.” And they laughed Him to scorn. But when the people were put outside, He went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose. The news of this went out into all that land. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭9‬:‭23‬-‭26‬ ‭(MEV‬‬) Come and sit with me. Be beneath the shadow of safety which I can provide. Leave your fears and anxieties upon the altar. Allow them to be burned away in my light. I am your provider. Listen for my guiding. It is life. Within it is my son. He has paid the price of sins. Come  closer and be with me. See what I may be for you.

Up By A Whirlwind

Elijah took his mantle and folded it together and struck the waters, and they were divided here and there, so that the two of them crossed over on dry ground. When they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken from you.” And Elisha said, “Please, let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.” He said, “You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so.” As they were going along and talking, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire and horses of fire which separated the two of them. And Elijah went up by a whirlwind to heaven. Elisha saw it and cried out, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!” And he saw Elijah no more. Then he took hold of his own clothes and tore them in two pieces. He also took up the mantle of Elijah that fell from him and returned and stood by the bank of the Jordan. He took the mantle of Elijah that fell...

Becoming

As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax booth. “Follow me,” he said to him. And he got up and followed him. As Jesus was having a meal in Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with Jesus and his disciples. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭9‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭(NET) Feed upon my word. It is truth. It will point you in the way to be going. Allow my light to shine upon you. You will follow my example and become whom I already see.

Clear Direction

When Jesus saw their reaction he said, “Why do you respond with evil in your hearts? Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven’ or to say, ‘Stand up and walk’? But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins” - then he said to the paralytic – “Stand up, take your stretcher, and go home.” And he stood up and went home. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭9‬:‭4‬-‭7‬ ‭(NET) You are sent forth as my representative. Heal the sick, raise the dead. Teach truth in the love I share with you. Let my light shine. Allow them to see me. Walk in the pathway set before you.

Can You Answer?

Go out and stand before me on the mountain,” the Lord told him. And as Elijah stood there, the Lord passed by, and a mighty windstorm hit the mountain. It was such a terrible blast that the rocks were torn loose, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. And after the earthquake there was a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire there was the sound of a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his cloak and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. And a voice said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” He replied again, “I have zealously served the Lord God Almighty. But the people of Israel have broken their covenant with you, torn down your altars, and killed every one of your prophets. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me, too.” ‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭19‬:‭11‬-‭14‬ ‭(NLT) Make your stand. Be strong in discerning the voices which may speak to you. I do not va...

What Is Your Answer?

“Elijah was afraid and fled for his life. He went to Beersheba, a town in Judah, and he left his servant there. Then he went on alone into the wilderness, traveling all day. He sat down under a solitary broom tree and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough, Lord,” he said. “Take my life, for I am no better than my ancestors who have already died.” Then he lay down and slept under the broom tree. But as he was sleeping, an angel touched him and told him, “Get up and eat!” He looked around and there beside his head was some bread baked on hot stones and a jar of water! So he ate and drank and lay down again. Then the angel of the Lord came again and touched him and said, “Get up and eat some more, or the journey ahead will be too much for you.” So he got up and ate and drank, and the food gave him enough strength to travel forty days and forty nights to Mount Sinai, the mountain of God. There he came to a cave, where he spent the night. But the Lord said to him, “What are you doing...

Talk With Me

Watch as the clouds roll overhead. They move in the direction of my wind. They flow where I have them move. Now you should open those doors which have been closed. They can now be opened. Examine them once again and walk through. I am there. Take the time to see and talk with me.

The Love I Share

Then Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid; go and do as you have said. But first make me a small loaf from it and bring it out to me. Afterward, you may make some for yourself and your son, for this is what the Lord God of Israel says, ‘The flour jar will not become empty and the oil jug will not run dry until the day the Lord sends rain on the surface of the land.” So she proceeded to do according to the word of Elijah. Then the woman, Elijah, and her household ate for many days. The flour jar did not become empty, and the oil jug did not run dry, according to the word of the Lord He had spoken through Elijah.” ‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭17‬:‭13‬-‭16‬ ‭(HCSB‬‬) Quiet your fears and stand secure with Me. Listen for my voice. I will direct you into new ways. Walk secure. I will show you the way. Miracles and healing will come forth from me. Move in the ways you heard from me in your night dreams. Let your prayers go forth. Speak my truth in the love I share with you.

Peace Within

I rejoiced with those who said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord.” Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem — Jerusalem, built as a city should be, solidly joined together, where the tribes, Yahweh’s tribes, go up to give thanks to the name of Yahweh. (This is an ordinance for Israel. ) There, thrones for judgment are placed, thrones of the house of David. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you prosper; may there be peace within your walls, prosperity within your fortresses.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭122‬:‭1‬-‭7‬ ‭(HCSB‬‬) Don't be guided by fear. It is a ploy of the enemy. Walk with me and in the pathway I shall show you. Listen for me. Learn to recognize me.  I will guide you. My ways  will be open for you.

Directions

In the beginning was the Word, and  the Word was with God, and the Word  was fully God. The Word was with God in the beginning. All things were created by him, and apart from him not one thing was created  that has been created. In him was life, and the  life was the light of mankind. And the light  shines on in the darkness, but the darkness has not mastered it. ‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭(NET‬‬) Know I am with you now, whatever your position in life. Learn to quiet your internal noise and allow my healing to bring what may be needed. Yes, I am there with you. Follow my directions. I will take you where you need to be.

On Course

Then the apostles gathered around Jesus and told him everything they had done and taught. He said to them, “Come with me privately to an isolated place and rest a while” (for many were coming and going, and there was no time to eat). So they went away by themselves in a boat to some remote place. ‭‭Mark‬ ‭6‬:‭30‬-‭32‬ ‭(NET‬‬) Do not be in a rush, nor bypass the places of your beginnings. They are your roots. They continue to support your growth in me. Take the time to turn off the routine of your day. Listen. What am I speaking to you? Make those small corrections and stay on course.

Grow in Me

For I know what I have planned for you,’ says the Lord. ‘I have plans to prosper you, not to harm you. I have plans to give you a future filled with hope. When you call out to me and come to me in prayer, I will hear your prayers. When you seek me in prayer and worship, you will find me available to you. If you seek me with all your heart and soul, I will make myself available to you,’ says the Lord. ‘Then I will reverse your plight and will regather you from all the nations and all the places where I have exiled you,’ says the Lord. ‘I will bring you back to the place from which I exiled you.’ ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭29‬:‭11‬-‭14‬ (‭NET) Growth comes from within the soil which you were planted, as root development. Look upward to me. From within my light all life was formed. From within me is truth and life. Step from the darkness and come to me. Call  upon me. Learn my names, the how and why they are important. I am the light. Grow in me.

Pathway

Do not fear the new pathway which is opening before you. I have prepared you for what you will meet next. Walk forward and secure with me. Reach out to those who you will soon meet. You will strengthen them in me.     

Calling

And I will perform wonders in the sky above and miraculous signs on the earth below, blood and fire and clouds of smoke. The sun will be changed to darkness and the moon to blood before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes. And then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭19‬-‭21‬ ‭(NET‬‬) Things come and change, but my love is never-ending. My word remains true. Reach out to me and receive the fullness I have available to you. I will continue to display my ways in the heavens, but you will display my ways upon the earth. Are you calling out to me? Are you  sharing my love?

As You Walk

But a time is coming – and now is here – when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such people to be his worshipers. God is spirit, and the people who worship him must worship in spirit and truth. ‭‭John‬ ‭4‬:‭23‬-‭24‬ ‭(NET) I am the creator of all that you can see and what you cannot yet see. My breath still releases life and direction into all situations. Allow my guidance as you walk this earth.

Show Them

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea that caught all kinds of fish. When it was full, they pulled it ashore, sat down, and put the good fish into containers and threw the bad away. It will be this way at the end of the age. Angels will come and separate the evil from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. “Have you understood all these things?” They replied, “Yes.” Then he said to them, “Therefore every expert in the law who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his treasure what is new and old.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭13‬:‭47‬-‭52‬ ‭(NET‬‬) Understand my heart. Within it is love. It contains the wisdom and knowledge of the Father. As I was stretched outward, so you too can stretch forth. Reach out. Bring them to me. Show them the light and the life I have for them.

Arise

By faith Enoch was taken up so that he did not see death, and he was not to be found because God took him up. For before his removal he had been commended as having pleased God. Now without faith it is impossible to please him, for the one who approaches God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭(NET) Draw closer to me. Learn my ways. Cast aside your doubts and misconceptions as you learn my ways. I am here. I have not changed. Find your healing as you see me clearly. Come, walk out upon the waters. Arise and walk with me.

Stand: Be Strengthened

Finally, be strengthened in the Lord and in the strength of his power. Clothe yourselves with the full armor of God so that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens. For this reason, take up the full armor of God so that you may be able to stand your ground on the evil day, and having done everything, to stand. ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭10‬-‭13‬ ‭(NET) ‬‬

Your Strength

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭10‬-‭12‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Come and sit with me. Allow my Spirit to envelop you and guide you on the right pathway. Sit and be washed in the protection which I can offer you. Do not walk in the fear of the enemy, but be bold in doing the things which I have for you to share. I am your strength.

Be Stretched

But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Get up and stand in front of everyone.” So he got up and stood there. Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?” He looked around at them all, and then said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and his hand was completely restored. ‭‭Luke‬ ‭6‬:‭8‬-‭10‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Turn off the noise of your day. Come and sit with me. Take the time to honestly express yourself to me. Allow healing to flow. I am not impatient, nor will I lash out in anger at you. You are my creation. I am your father. I will show you the way.

Lord of the Sabbath

One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and his disciples began to pick some heads of grain, rub them in their hands and eat the kernels. Some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?” Jesus answered them, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry? He entered the house of God, and taking the consecrated bread, he ate what is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions.” Then Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭(NIV)

Grow Closer

Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” There was plenty of grass in that place, and they sat down (about five thousand men were there). Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish. When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.” So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten. ‭‭John‬ ‭6‬:‭10‬-‭13‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Carefully read your mail. Open up and allow the message to find it's target. There is something special for you to receive and to share with another. Grow closer to me by doing what I have set for you. Walk in my power.

Look About

Look about you as you read this. What is it you think you may see? I will go with you. Like you, I can speak or keep quiet. I can guide you. Will you listen for me? Be patient. Learn to follow my leading and allow my blessing to be your provision and joy.

Throw Your Nets

Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus. He called out to them, “Friends, haven’t you any fish?” “No,” they answered. He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.” ‭‭John‬ ‭21‬:‭4‬-‭6‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) It is me. Recognize when I call out to you. I will direct the way for you to be going. Close your eyes to what the world wishes to shove at you. I have shown you the way. Walk secure and boldly in my love. You too can help bring in the haul .

My Reflection

Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb  first, also went inside. He saw and believed. (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.) Then  the disciples went back to where they were staying. ‭‭John‬ ‭20‬:‭6‬-‭10‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) I am alive and remain unchanged. Come sit with me. Allow my healing to flow over and through you. Allow my wisdom to guide and direct you in the way you should walk. I am your example. Grow, share and reflect me to others.

Through Your Actions

Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created. ‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭16‬-‭18‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Look ahead and past what your eyes tell you what you may see. Ask me and receive what you need. Ask me in belief. I will continue to be with you in your journey. Share me. Allow others to see me through your actions.

Listen for Me

Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.” ‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭16‬-‭18‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Return. Come back to that meeting spot and be refreshed in me. I will wash away the dirt and missteps. I will anoint you with my refreshing oil. Listen for me. I will reveal myself to you. My love will cover you in peace.

Recognize My Voice

Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?” “Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “I am he,” Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground. Again he asked them, “Who is it you want?” “Jesus of Nazareth,” they said. Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go.” This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: “I have not lost one of those you gave me.” ‭‭John‬ ‭18‬:‭4‬-‭9‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Are you listening for me? It is important for you to recognize my voice of direction. Know the call I have placed on your life. Don't compare yourself with others. But be washed and made whole in me.

Providing

After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began. ‭‭John‬ ‭17‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Wherever you may travel, on course or off-track I am there. I am watching over you in your journey. Listen, and you will hear my sharing my heart. I will provide what is needed tomorrow as I have before, even before you begin.

Your Sound

I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in him. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭40‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) All creation has its unique sound. Learn yours. Let it be heard. Do not be fearful nor timid. Let your sound be heard. Sing it aloud to me.

Reflecting

I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. ‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭(NIV)‬‬ Become like the wren which sings it's own song. Become whom you were born to be. Put aside jealousy of what you may observe in others. Find and feel secure what I have placed within you. Bear my fruit. Reflect my way for others.

Be Listening

Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” ‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭5‬-‭7‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Do not rush through your day, but take The time and look about you. See the people in their journey of life. Listen to the sounds of nature. It too speaks to you. Let's talk. Take time this day to seek me. listen for me to answer and I will speak with you.

My Creation

Don't be stuck in looking back in a rear-view mirror, seeing how things were. The past has passed. Those memories reflect imperfectly. Look forward. See clearly with me and the way I will show you. Walk in my perfect way. When you stumble, learn the lesson needed. Become whom you are meant to be. You are my creation.

Washing

Now before the Passover Feast, Jesus knew that His hour had come to depart from this world to the Father. Having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. Now supper being concluded, the devil had put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Him. Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands and that He came from God and was going to God, rose from supper, laid aside His garments, and took a towel and wrapped Himself. After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel with which He was wrapped. ‭‭John‬ ‭13‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭(MEV)

Get Up and Walk

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 distracted by the accusations of the enemy. Nor should you hear the compliments and encouraging he would place before you. I have redeemed you. I have washed you and given you a purpose within my family. Learn who you are in me.

In Love

Open the gates of righteousness for me; I will enter through them and give thanks to the Lord. This is the gate of the Lord; the righteous will enter through it. I will give thanks to You because You have answered me and have become my salvation. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭118‬:‭19‬-‭21‬ ‭(HCSB‬‬) Yes, I am with you. My protection is about you. What does my written word say to you? Are you believing what it says? Follow the example I shown you. Walk in love. Cast aside the fear the enemy would plant to cause you to stumble.

Trusting In Me

I called to the Lord in distress; the Lord answered me and put me in a spacious place. The Lord is for me; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? The Lord is my helper, Therefore, I will look in triumph on those who hate me. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in nobles. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭118‬:‭5‬-‭9‬ (‭HCSB) Let go. Release the ideas and things which keep you back. Walk in the fullness I have implanted within you. Walk forward with me. Let go of the lies the enemy has planted in your pathway. Grow in the fullness I see within you.

Light & Life

Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.” ‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭12‬ ‭(NASB) Don't rush but sit and listen to the rainfall. It washes whatever it falls upon. My presence can wash and revive you. Look for me. You can find me and my ways. Sit in my presence and be cleaned. Allow me to wash away the sin and the confusion the enemy would keep over you. I am the light and life. Be with me.

Across the Waters

And Elijah went up by a whirlwind to heaven. Elisha saw it and cried out, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!” And he saw Elijah no more. Then he took hold of his own clothes and tore them in two pieces. He also took up the mantle of Elijah that fell from him and returned and stood by the bank of the Jordan. He took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him and struck the waters and said, “Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah?” And when he also had struck the waters, they were divided here and there; and Elisha crossed over. ‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭2‬:‭11b ‬-‭14‬ (‭NASB1995) Whether you see me or not, I am with you in every part of your day, through every step in your life. I am there. I will supply all which you need. Trust in me. Put aside your frustration and walk upon the waters. Step forward in faith. Learn to come across the waters.

Guidance

Now fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite them at a distance, while the two of them stood by the Jordan. Elijah took his mantle and folded it together and struck the waters, and they were divided here and there, so that the two of them crossed over on dry ground. When they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken from you.” And Elisha said, “Please, let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.” ‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭2‬:‭7‬-‭9‬ ‭(NASB) Yes. I am yet the good shepherd. I care for you and guide you in the pathways you should go. Learn to follow me. Recognize my leading and directions. My Spirit will continue to guide you.

Walk With Me

Now as Jesus was passing by, he saw a man who had been blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who committed the sin that caused him to be born blind, this man or his parents?” Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but he was born blind so that the acts of God may be revealed through what happens to him. We must perform the deeds of the one who sent me as long as it is daytime. Night is coming when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” Having said this, he spat on the ground and made some mud with the saliva. He smeared the mud on the blind man’s eyes and said to him, “Go wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated “sent”). So the blind man went away and washed, and came back seeing.” ‭‭John‬ ‭9‬:‭1‬-‭7‬ ‭(NET‬‬) I am your strength. I am your shelter. Yes, I am all which you need. Allow me to guide you in the journey. Learn to walk secure with me. Don't be surprised nor discouraged by the enemy sets for you....

Reaching Out

Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom he had raised from the dead. So they prepared a dinner for Jesus there. Martha was serving, and Lazarus was among those present at the table with him. Then Mary took three quarters of a pound of expensive aromatic oil from pure nard and anointed the feet of Jesus. She then wiped his feet dry with her hair. (Now the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfumed oil.) ‭‭John‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭(NET‬‬) Is it time to take your focus from yourself? Are you spending time and energy trying to fix things which you can’t? Have you fully given them to me? Come closer. Allow my healing to guide you. Reach out to me and I will be found. I am there with you in all your situations.

Believe in Me

Then Jesus said, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing on my own initiative, but I speak just what the Father taught me. And the one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, because I always do those things that please him.” While he was saying these things, many people believed in him.” ‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭28‬-‭30‬ (‭NET) Don't hide. From wherever you are take the time and talk with me. Allow my direction to put you on-course.‬‬ You too can learn to believe in me .

The Light

Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.” ‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭12‬ ‭(NLT) Spend time with me and my heart. Share me with others, Allow my healing to flow from you. I remain the light needed for wholeness. My way is light and life. Become more like me. Allow me to shine out from you to others.

Living Water

On the last day, the climax of the festival, Jesus stood and shouted to the crowds, “Anyone who is thirsty may come to me! Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’” (When he said “living water,” he was speaking of the Spirit, who would be given to everyone believing in him. But the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet entered into his glory.) ‭‭John‬ ‭7‬:‭37‬-‭39‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) I have placed reminders in your pathway. Do not avoid them. They can lead you in my direction. Learn to trust me and follow them. Leave your fear and anger at my altar. Come and walk in the path created for you. Drink my living water.

Time With Me

So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel before the Lord, and the tribe of Benjamin was chosen by lot. Then he brought each family of the tribe of Benjamin before the Lord, and the family of the Matrites was chosen. And finally Saul son of Kish was chosen from among them. But when they looked for him, he had disappeared! So they asked the Lord, “Where is he?” And the Lord replied, “He is hiding among the baggage.” ‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭10‬:‭20‬-‭22‬ ‭(NLT) Where are you hiding? Rest yourself in my presence.‬‬ Allow me to bring healing into those broken areas of your life. Give them to me. Become whole as you spend time with me. Learn to practice expectantly those things which I speak to you. Grow in me.

Come To Me

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke on you and l earn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and my load is not hard to carry. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭28‬-‭30‬ ‭(NET) Allow me to guide you in the actions and activities of your day. Come to me. Learn of my love so you can share it. Become whole and strengthened in learning my way of life.‬‬

Have YOU Found Me?

The next day the crowd that remained on the other side of the lake realized that only one small boat had been there, and that Jesus had not boarded it with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone. But some boats from Tiberias came to shore near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks. So when the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and came to Capernaum looking for Jesus. ‭‭John‬ ‭6‬:‭22‬-‭24‬ ‭(NET‬‬) What about you? Have you found me, or are you still looking? Do not be left behind nor misinformed. I am here. I will be found, if you look. I will show myself and share the way to life.

The Light

Jesus replied, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you have known me, you will know my Father too. And from now on you do know him and have seen him.” ‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭(NET‬‬) Reach for me. Grow in my light. Become strong in the way of life. Become part of those who know me and my truth. Become focused upon the things which I will show you. I am the light. Stand firm in me.

Your Heart

It was quite a long time – some twenty years in all – that the ark stayed at Kiriath Jearim. All the people of Israel longed for the Lord. Samuel said to all the people of Israel, “If you are really turning to the Lord with all your hearts, remove from among you the foreign gods and the images of Ashtoreth. Give your hearts to the Lord and serve only him. Then he will deliver you from the hand of the Philistines.” ‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭7‬:‭2‬-‭3‬ ‭(NET) Where is your heart, today?

Walk Forward

“I assure you: The one who believes in Me will also do the works that I do. And he will do even greater works than these, because I am going to the Father. Whatever you ask in My name, I will do it so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.” ‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬-‭14‬ ‭(HCSB‬‬) Ask me, believing I will answer you. Put aside your fears. Allow me to strengthen you in your journey. Soak yourself in my Word. Within it remains life. Follow after he way I've set for you to be going. Walk forward with me.

My Directions

Then He went again to Cana of Galilee, where He  had turned the water into wine. There was a certain  royal official whose son was ill at Capernaum. When this man heard that Jesus had come from Judea  into Galilee, he went to Him and pleaded with Him to  come down and heal his son, for he was about to die. Jesus told him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will not believe.” “Sir,” the official said to Him, “come down before my boy dies! ” “Go,” Jesus told him, “your son will live.” The man believed what Jesus said to him and departed. ‭‭John‬ ‭4‬:‭46‬-‭50‬ ‭(HCSB) Open my written word, imprint it into your life. Consume my truths within it. Apply them to your daily routine. My truth speaks. Learn how to recognize my directing you in your life.

Moving and Growing

I am what you are searching for. I am what you need. Come and spend time with me. Allow my healing to reach within you. I am here. I've not changed my heart nor directions given to you. Keep moving and growing with me.

Learn From Me

Jesus answered, “If you knew the gift of God, and who is saying to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would ask Him, and He would give you living water.” ‭‭John‬ ‭4‬:‭10‬ ‭(HCSB‬‬) Come to me. Allow me to help you in the actions and activities of your day. Fill yourself with my Word. Let it bring direction and healing. Look to me and I will show myself. I will guide you into the right direction for you to be moving. Learn from me and my written word.

My Words

The Lord is slow to get angry, but his power is great, and he never lets the guilty go unpunished. He displays his power in the whirlwind and the storm. The billowing clouds are the dust beneath his feet. ‭‭Nahum‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬ ‭(NLT) Don't allow the stinkbugs to affect your day. They both push and bother, landing their noisy flight. Instead, be looking for me. Expect me to answer, if you are willing to listen. Learn my heart and my ways. They are never changing, and yet always expanding. My words remain truth and life. Consume them.

Your Shield

There was a man named Nicodemus, a Jewish religious leader who was a Pharisee. After dark one evening, he came to speak with Jesus. “Rabbi,” he said, “we all know that God has sent you to teach us. Your miraculous signs are evidence that God is with you.” Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.”” ‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Raise up your shield of faith. Now is not the time to tire. Walk forward in my name. Be doing the works of the son. Walk in my authority. Shield yourself in my ways.

Praise the LORD

Let all that I am praise the Lord. O Lord my God, how great you are! You are robed with honor and majesty. You are dressed in a robe of light. You stretch out the starry curtain of the heavens; you lay out the rafters of your home in the rain clouds. You make the clouds your chariot; you ride upon the wings of the wind. The winds are your messengers; flames of fire are your servants. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭104‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ (‭NLT‬‬)

Guiding

The Lord has made the heavens his throne; from there he rules over everything. Praise the Lord, you angels, you mighty ones who carry out his plans, listening for each of his commands. Yes, praise the Lord, you armies of angels who serve him and do his will! Praise the Lord, everything he has created, everything in all his kingdom. Let all that I am praise the Lord. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭103‬:‭19‬-‭22‬ ‭(NLT) Listen to the sounds about you in your day. I am there. You will hear me, just as I am speaking to you now. Don't allow anger nor fear to move you from the pathway of right living. I am there. I will guide you along your way.

Remember Me

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! He is the one I was talking about when I said, ‘A man is coming after me who is far greater than I am, for he existed long before me.’ I did not recognize him as the Messiah, but I have been baptizing with water so that he might be revealed to Israel.” Then John testified, “I saw the Holy Spirit descending like a dove from heaven and resting upon him. I didn’t know he was the one, but when God sent me to baptize with water, he told me, ‘The one on whom you see the Spirit descend and rest is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’ I saw this happen to Jesus, so I testify that he is the Chosen One of God.” ‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭29‬-‭34‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Stop. Do not believe the lies of the enemy, but look to me. I AM truth, I am the only direction you need. I am life. Spend time with me. Allow my healing to touch you. Seek my direction. Write it down so you will remember me.

We Have Seen God

Then Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, “Please stay here until we can prepare a young goat for you to eat.” “I will stay,” the angel of the Lord replied, “but I will not eat anything. However, you may prepare a burnt offering as a sacrifice to the Lord.” (Manoah didn’t realize it was the angel of the Lord.) Then Manoah asked the angel of the Lord, “What is your name? For when all this comes true, we want to honor you.” “Why do you ask my name?” the angel of the Lord replied. “It is too wonderful for you to understand.” Then Manoah took a young goat and a grain offering and offered it on a rock as a sacrifice to the Lord. And as Manoah and his wife watched, the Lord did an amazing thing. As the flames from the altar shot up toward the sky, the angel of the Lord ascended in the fire. When Manoah and his wife saw this, they fell with their faces to the ground. The angel did not appear again to Manoah and his wife. Manoah finally realized it was the angel of the Lord, and he said to hi...

Be Bold

In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. ‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) It is time for you to stop and adjust your journey. Reassess your goals and align them with mine. Be bold showing my love. Speak my words of peace.

Call Out

Sit with me. Allow my peace to cover you. Allow my covering to be all which you need, as you soak in my healing. My love and direction is here. My peace is available, call out to me.

Walk In Peace

You who love the Lord, hate evil! He protects the lives of his godly people and rescues them from the power of the wicked. Light shines on the godly, and joy on those whose hearts are right. May all who are godly rejoice in the Lord and praise his holy name! ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭97‬:‭10‬-‭12‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Put aside the distractions. Look about you I am there in the creation. I am there wherever You walk. Speak to me, expecting I will hear you. Do not be fearful but walk in my peace.

I Am

The Lord reigns; let the earth rejoice; let the many coastlands be joyful! Clouds and darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him and burns up His enemies all around. His lightnings light up the world; the earth sees and trembles. The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of all the earth. The heavens declare His righteousness, and all the peoples see His glory. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭97‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭(MEV‬‬) Watch for me in each of your days. I am there with you. I will wait for you to draw nearer, and to learn my ways. I am calling you to come closer. Wash yourself in my love and become whole. My guiding Spirit is ever-with you. Don't rush, but linger with me. Become whom I already see within you. I am there.

Stay With Me

Then he said to Him, “If I have found favor in Your sight, give me a sign that You are speaking with me. Please do not leave this place until I return to You. Let me bring my gift and set it before You.” And He said, “I will stay until you return.” So Gideon went and prepared a young goat and unleavened bread from a half bushel of flour. He placed the meat in a basket and the broth in a pot. He brought them out and offered them to Him under the oak. The Angel of God said to him, “Take the meat with the unleavened bread, put it on this stone, and pour the broth on it.” And he did so. The Angel of the Lord extended the tip of the staff that was in His hand and touched the meat and the unleavened bread. Fire came up from the rock and consumed the meat and the unleavened bread. Then the Angel of the Lord vanished from his sight. When Gideon realized that He was the Angel of the Lord, he said, “Oh no, Lord God! I have seen the Angel of the Lord face to face! ” But the Lord said to him, “Pea...

I Will Show You

Practice the patience I show with you. Allow others to be filled with my love. My word is truth, become familiar with it. It can guide you in the way you need to go. Learn to stop and ask me before you pass judgement on others' actions. I will show you what you need to know, leading them to me.

Be Fed

Jesus answered, “I assure you: Unless someone is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. Whatever is born of the flesh is flesh, and whatever is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed that I told you that you must be born again. The wind blows where it pleases, and you hear its sound, but you don’t know where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”” ‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭5‬-‭8‬ (‭HCSB)‬‬ Awaken your heart to my ways. Allow me to guide you in the ways you should be going. Awaken yourself to the night-dreams. There are secrets for your growth and direction. Read my word. Allow it to feed you.

Learning To Be

After the death of Joshua, the Israelites inquired of the Lord, “Who will be the first to fight for us against the Canaanites? ” The Lord answered, “Judah is to go. I have handed the land over to him.” Judah said to his brother Simeon, “Come with me to my territory, and let us fight against the Canaanites. I will also go with you to your territory.” So Simeon went with him. ‭‭Judges‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭(HCSB) The birds each sing the song given to them. They do not wish to sound like another. You too should learn to be who I created you to be. You are filled with my Spirit. Allow it to guide you in my ways. Allow it to speak through you my peace and love.

Psalms‬ ‭91‬

The one who lives under the protection of the Most High dwells in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” He Himself will deliver you from the hunter’s net, from the destructive plague. He will cover you with His feathers; you will take refuge under His wings. His faithfulness will be a protective shield. You will not fear the terror of the night, the arrow that flies by day, the plague that stalks in darkness, or the pestilence that ravages at noon. Though a thousand fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, the pestilence will not reach you. You will only see it with your eyes and witness the punishment of the wicked. Because you have made the Lord — my refuge, the Most High — your dwelling place, no harm will come to you; no plague will come near your tent. For He will give His angels orders concerning you, to protect you in all your ways. They will support you with their hands so that you will not strike...

Do Not Be Fearful

Ask me and I will tell you remarkable secrets you do not know about things to come. ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭33‬:‭3‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Yes, I am with you, even as you read this. My way has not changed. Be generous in doing what I have called you to do. My favor is upon you. Do not be fearful, but walk in the directions my Spirit shows you.

Watch for Me

Bring your angers and anxieties to my altar. Leave them there. Allow me to deal with them and to bring healing into your life. Learn to trust in me. I am there. Call my name and watch for me to answer.

Sounds of the Birds

Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭26‬-‭27‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) It is time to listen to the sounds and voices around you. They are vocal and know their own song. They sing only their song and not those of another. Now you are to allow your voice to be heard. Speak the truth. In love let others see your actions and reactions. As birds of a feather, be gathered with one another.

Walk With Me

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27 (NIV) Peace comes from me. Learn to listen and follow the directions you will receive. Yes, walk with me. Follow the plan set out for you, so you may grow in my image.

I Died

I called you out so you might come closer to me, to learn of my love for you and those you may not yet approve of. You both can learn more of me, sharing the love you have received. I died so you might arise from your confusion and self-pity. I died to be the fulfillment, so you may learn and have life.

The Price

Wherever you may find yourself, I am there. In the midst of mistakes Or victories, I will be there with you. Call to my name and I will answer you. The price has been paid.

Reach Out

One day the Pharisees asked Jesus, “When will the Kingdom of God come?” Jesus replied, “The Kingdom of God can’t be detected by visible signs. You won’t be able to say, ‘Here it is!’ or ‘It’s over there!’ For the Kingdom of God is already among you.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭17‬:‭20‬-‭21‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Watch through the brush and trees I have planted. See their depth and colours. all that and more, since the beginning. They never fail to do what they were created to be doing: growing. You too are to be growing in me and my Word. Reach out and upwards towards me.

If You Listen

The apostles said to the Lord, “Show us how to increase our faith.” The Lord answered, “If you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘May you be uprooted and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you! ‭‭Luke‬ ‭17‬:‭5‬-6‬ (‭NLT)‬‬ It is time for you to rest in me. I am what you need. I am your supply. If you listen I will whisper the way for you to go, each day. Put aside your anxiety and sit with me.

Hear the Voices

Now while Jesus was in Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover, many people believed in his name because they saw the miraculous signs he was doing. But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people. He did not need anyone to testify about man, for he knew what was in man. ‭‭John‬ ‭2‬:‭23‬-‭25‬ ‭(NET‬‬) Sit with me. Learn to hear the sounds about you. Identify them by the voice I have given them. Each is unique. Don't be in a rush. Hear the voices within the silence. Allow me to lead you, in peace.

Calm The Waves

Jesus replied, “Anyone who drinks this water will soon become thirsty again. But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life.” “Please, sir,” the woman said, “give me this water! Then I’ll never be thirsty again, and I won’t have to come here to get water.” ‭‭John‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬-‭15‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Learn the things you can do by the example of my son. He reached out. He helped others at the point of their need. So can you touch and heal them. Trust in me and my heart. Be bold. Walk out upon the water and calm the waves.
