the FireCarrier

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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 ...

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.

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...

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?

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.

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) ‬‬

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.
