the FireCarrier

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; And every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their vindication is from Me,” declares the Lord. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭54‬:‭17‬ (‭NASB1995) Don't be confused by the enemy. Recognize me and my ways. Allow my spirit to guide you in truth. Walk in the way I have for you. Reach out to others. Bring healing and life to them. Fill yourself with my ways and words. Allow them to guide you. Share them in your daily walk, so others may learn.

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

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

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

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

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

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