the FireCarrier

Jesus said to his disciples: “Things that cause people to stumble are bound to come, but woe to anyone through whom they come. It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble. So watch yourselves. “If your brother or sister sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them. Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying ‘I repent,’ you must forgive them.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭17‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭NIV‬‬ I am with you. Wherever you may go, I will be there. I will cover you in my love. Stop to listen for me. My peace is free. It will cover and fill you. My love provides what you need.

He says, Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭46‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Watch and enjoy nature all about you. It is a part of my creation. Don't allow the accusations of the enemy to guide you. His wishes for you are to cause pain and to lead you to death. I am the life. I am the only way for everlasting life. Come now. Ask me to be with you. Know I am yet GOD.

As for other matters, brothers and sisters, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more. For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable, ‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭NIV‬‬ I have covered you in my light. Follow it. Turn off the noise which distracts you from me. Walk in the way I have shown you. Be filled with my word. Allow it to guide you in all truth. It contains the only life you need.

I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves. Be on your guard; you will be handed over to the local councils and be flogged in the synagogues. On my account you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles. But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say, for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭10‬:‭16‬-‭20‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Don't turn back, but keep moving forward in the direction I have placed within you. I have made you unique, different from others, yet in my lineage. Listen, and you will hear me encouraging you. I am leading you  in the direction to be going.

Therefore Jesus said again, Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. ‭‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭7‬-‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Look ahead. See through the tangled messes and missed dreams. Learn my Word and the direction it holds for you. I was there before the beginning and will yet be there after the worldly end. Do not fear but continue to follow me. Look ahead, I am there to protect and lead you.

LORD, I know that people’s lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps. Discipline me, LORD, but only in due measure— not in your anger, or you will reduce me to nothing. Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge you, on the peoples who do not call on your name. For they have devoured Jacob; they have devoured him completely and destroyed his homeland. ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭10‬:‭23‬-‭25‬ ‭NIV Look for me and you will find me. I am there ever-with you. Failures are in the past. Now move forward. I am with you. I will guide you in the way I have created for you.

Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Don't become complacent, thinking you know me nor what I wish to be doing. You will miss me. You will not hear my directions for you. I am there, within your every day. Bring me your broken past. Place it upon my altar, releasing it. Reach forward to me. My power will again surge through you.

If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don’t love, I’m nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13‬:‭1‬‬ ‭MSG‬‬ Read my word. It is life. It reflects my love and direction for you. It is through your life that others can find my love for them. Be kind to them as I am kind to you.

Is this the message others receive from you? Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Since you were brought back to life with Christ, focus on the things that are above— where Christ holds the honored position— the one next to God the Father on the heavenly throne. Keep your mind on things above, not on worldly things. You have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. Christ is your life. When he appears, then you, too, will appear with him in glory. ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭GW I am there. Listen quietly, as I am with you. Trust the directions I have whispered for you to hear. Do not allow the enemy to cause fear to obstruct in your way. I am the light. Follow after me.

This is what the LORD says: Stand at the crossroads and look. Ask which paths are the old, reliable paths. Ask which way leads to blessings. Live that way, and find a resting place for yourselves. But you said that you wouldn’t live that way. I posted watchmen over you. Pay attention to the sound of the ram’s horn. But you said that you wouldn’t pay attention. ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭6‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭GW‬‬ Do not rush through you day, but stop and look around you at my creation. Put aside the hurry which too often leads to anger or frustration. The trees reach upward to me. How about you? Can you learn from their leading?

I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep And my sheep know me— just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. ‭‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭14‬-‭16‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Take your seat and close your eyes. If you listen you can hear me as I am speaking to you. I will guide you. Will you go where I show you to go? Listen for me. Don't be lost in your own business.

Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.” ‭‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Do not be in a rush or you will miss me. Turn off the noise and hear my creation. It calls out to me. Each with it's own voice. Follow after me in the line of truth and life. Allow others to see my heart by your actions. Lead them as I have led you.

Then Peter spoke up, “We have left everything to follow you!” “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields— along with persecutions— and in the age to come eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last first.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭10‬:‭28‬-‭31‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Look about you. This is part of my creation. All things were created by My speaking them. You too speak things to life within your journey. Watch the words you speak aloud and those thoughts only you hear. Within them is life and death. Choose wisely.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. ‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NIV I am there with you as you sit to read this. I am sharing my ways, as I am life. My son walked upon the earth as you. He shared in the joys and pains. His stay was for you, to make a way for eternal life. His way still leads to life. Follow in him.

The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming —not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship. Otherwise, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins. ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭10‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Watch for me today and you will find me. I will show myself and my loving ways. I will reach out for you. Don't be fearful, but move forward in what I have told you. My peace is available. Trust in me.

Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭60‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭NIV‬‬ In nature, it is the season of changes. Old things dry up and fall top the ground. Food is gathered for later use. Your goal is also to be changed, Don't hold onto the past, but allow those old ways to be in the past. They no longer rule over you. Walk in the light of my changes.

Hasten, O God, to save me; come quickly, LORD, to help me. May those who want to take my life be put to shame and confusion; may all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace. May those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!” turn back because of their shame. But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who long for your saving help always say, “The LORD is great!” But as for me, I am poor and needy; come quickly to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; LORD, do not delay. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭70‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NIV‬‬ I am with you. I am there throughout your day and those years yet to arrive. I watch over you each day and smile. Share with others what I have shared with you. Allow them to know the love I share with my family. Despite how you may feel, I am there. I am with you each day.

You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. Now if any man does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. And if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is alive because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit that lives in you. ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭9‬-‭11‬ ‭MEV‬‬ Do not be in a rush, but quiet yourself. Listen for my directing you throughout your day. Follow the ways I may show you. Learn to recognize my prompts. Within you is my life.

So again they called the man who was blind And said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this Man is a sinner.” He said, “I do not know if He is a sinner. I know one thing: I was blind, but now I see.” Then they said to him again, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?” He answered them, “I told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become His disciples?” ‭‭John‬ ‭9‬:‭24‬-‭27‬ ‭MEV‬‬ Come closer. Sit in your quiet space and speak with me. Tell me of your worries and those things which are causing your distress. Leave them at my altar. I am there. I will guide you. Come closer. Allow me guide and protect you. Come and see what I am doing.

O kingdoms of the earth, sing to God! Sing praises to the Lord, (Selah) to the one who rides through the sky from ancient times! Look! He thunders loudly. Acknowledge God’s power, his sovereignty over Israel, and the power he reveals in the skies! You are awe-inspiring, O God, as you emerge from your holy temple! It is the God of Israel who gives the people power and strength. God deserves praise! ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭68‬:‭32‬-‭35‬ ‭NET‬‬ Listen for me to speak to you. I will fill you with what you need. Leave your anger and anxiety upon my altar. Receive me. I will be there for you. Just as the days change, so do the sides of my being show themselves. They will fill you. Do not become fearful.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding. Acknowledge him in all your ways, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own estimation; fear the LORD and turn away from evil. This will bring healing to your body, and refreshment to your inner self. ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭5‬-‭8‬ ‭NET

Now this is what I am saying, brothers and sisters: Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Listen, I will tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed – in a moment, in the blinking of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15‬:‭50‬-‭52‬ ‭NET‬‬ Yes, I've heard you commenting about the finding of change in your day. It is from me, inviting you to pick it up and begin your change. Come closer to me. Allow me to reach within you and heal you. I will remove what is unneeded. It is a time for changing. You will begin your journey.

This is what the LORD says, your protector, the Holy One of Israel: “For your sake I send to Babylon and make them all fugitives, turning the Babylonians’ joyful shouts into mourning songs. I am the LORD, your Holy One, the one who created Israel, your king.” This is what the LORD says, the one who made a road through the sea, a pathway through the surging waters, the one who led chariots and horses to destruction, together with a mighty army. They fell down, never to rise again; they were extinguished, put out like a burning wick: “Don’t remember these earlier events; don’t recall these former events. “Look, I am about to do something new. Now it begins to happen! Do you not recognize it? Yes, I will make a road in the desert and paths in the wilderness.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭43‬:‭14‬-‭19‬ ‭NET‬‬ Seasons my change, but I am the eternal unchanging God. My love and patience are everlasting. Come to me for your needs. Come and watch me reach out. My word is truth. It releases peace and wholeness a...

By day the LORD decrees his loyal love, and by night he gives me a song, a prayer to the living God. I will pray to God, my high ridge: “Why do you ignore me? Why must I walk around mourning because my enemies oppress me?” My enemies’ taunts cut into me to the bone, as they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?” Why are you depressed, O my soul? Why are you upset? Wait for God! For I will again give thanks to my God for his saving intervention. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭42‬:‭8‬-‭11‬ ‭NET‬‬ Look around you. I will show you what you need to see and where you need to be going. Walk in trust. Leave fear and anxiety behind. They are tools of the enemy. Listen for me throughout your day. Know I am with you.

Let God’s curse fall on anyone, including us or even an angel from heaven, who preaches a different kind of Good News than the one we preached to you. I say again what we have said before: If anyone preaches any other Good News than the one you welcomed, let that person be cursed. ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭1‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭NLT‬‬ Stop rushing through your day and find your time with me. Sit still and empty yourself of those bothers, Come deeper with me. Find yourself filled with me.

After King Hezekiah’s officials delivered the king’s message to Isaiah, the prophet replied, “Say to your master, ‘This is what the LORD says: Do not be disturbed by this blasphemous speech against me from the Assyrian king’s messengers. Listen! I myself will move against him, and the king will receive a message that he is needed at home. So he will return to his land, where I will have him killed with a sword.’ ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭37‬:‭5‬-‭7‬ ‭NLT It is time for you to turn another page. Leave behind your past failure and move forward. Find yourself in me. It is there you can grow. I see within you what I have planted. My seed of life is present and growing.

One day as Jesus was teaching the people and preaching the Good News in the Temple, the leading priests, the teachers of religious law, and the elders came up to him. They demanded, “By what authority are you doing all these things? Who gave you the right?” “Let me ask you a question first,” he replied. “Did John’s authority to baptize come from heaven, or was it merely human?” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭20‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭NLT‬‬ Like points of light, I have placed you in the world where you may walk. You reflect my presence. Show my way. Grow secure in going where I guide you.

Then Jesus went from Galilee to the Jordan River to be baptized by John. But John tried to talk him out of it. “I am the one who needs to be baptized by you,” he said, “so why are you coming to me?” But Jesus said, “It should be done, for we must carry out all that God requires.” So John agreed to baptize him. After his baptism, as Jesus came up out of the water, the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and settling on him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭3‬:‭13‬-‭17‬ ‭NLT‬‬ Listen for me and you will hear my voice. I will direct you throughout the walk in your life. Each time I will draw you closer to me. Do not be fearful, but learn to trust in me.

Then Moses called for Joshua, and as all Israel watched, he said to him, “Be strong and courageous! For you will lead these people into the land that the LORD swore to their ancestors he would give them. You are the one who will divide it among them as their grants of land. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you." ‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭31‬:‭7‬-‭8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Therefore, this is what the Sovereign LORD says: “Look! I am placing a foundation stone in Jerusalem, a firm and tested stone. It is a precious cornerstone that is safe to build on. Whoever believes need never be shaken. I will test you with the measuring line of justice and the plumb line of righteousness. Since your refuge is made of lies, a hailstorm will knock it down. Since it is made of deception, a flood will sweep it away. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭28‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭NLT‬‬ Listen for me throughout your day. I am there. I am with you, protecting you in your walk. Do not become afraid, but walk in my light. I will show you the way you need go.

O God, listen to my cry! Hear my prayer! From the ends of the earth, I cry to you for help when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the towering rock of safety, for you are my safe refuge, a fortress where my enemies cannot reach me. Let me live forever in your sanctuary, safe beneath the shelter of your wings! Interlude” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭61‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭NLT‬‬ Each day you've turned the page. It is empty and awaiting for what you would write in the lives of others. As you give to them you will grow in what I have for you. I can hear your prayers. Allow me to supply what you will need.

Just as Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness, so then, understand that those who believe are the sons of Abraham. And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, proclaimed the gospel to Abraham ahead of time, saying, “All the nations will be blessed in you.” So then those who believe are blessed along with Abraham the believer. ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3‬:‭6‬-‭9‬ ‭NET‬‬ Listen for me as I speak to you. I will give directions for your life. I will show you what I consider important. Listen as I speak. Do not ignore the simple things I will say. Follow me. I will provide all that you will need. Be believing in me.

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 Reach upward. Pull yourself into the light of my son. It is only there, in Him, you will find life. Release those fears and self-ambitions. Follow the way he shows you. Walk in his freedom .

Don't become lazy. Continue in the way I have for you. You can grow.

In that day you will say: “Give praise to the LORD, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done, and proclaim that his name is exalted. Sing to the LORD, for he has done glorious things; let this be known to all the world. Shout aloud and sing for joy, people of Zion, for great is the Holy One of Israel among you.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭12‬:‭4‬-‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Are you where you think you should be? It's time to examine your thoughts and actions. Where am I within those things which you do? Don't be anxious. Reach out for my way to guide you.

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭19‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NIV‬‬

In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to him, and his resting place will be glorious. In that day the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to reclaim the surviving remnant of his people from Assyria, from Lower Egypt, from Upper Egypt, from Cush, from Elam, from Babylonia, from Hamath and from the islands of the Mediterranean. He will raise a banner for the nations and gather the exiles of Israel; he will assemble the scattered people of Judah from the four quarters of the earth. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭11‬:‭10‬-‭12‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Days come and go unannounced. They do what they were created to do. What of you? Are you reflecting what was set before you? Does my glory reflect for the homeless and the needy? Slow your ways and seek me. Allow me to be your healer and champion.

Stop. It's time to wash away the dirt which covers and protects you. Don't hide. Come from behind the covering and sit with me.

As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,” he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him. While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭9‬:‭9‬-‭13‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Know the voices which speak to you. Does what they say align with my truth? Do not allow them to bring confusion, but walk in my truth with love. Do not be guided by fear. Show them my love.

In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.” At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Come further. Don't allow past roadblocks to become permanent barriers. I will be there to guide you. Now step forward and await me. Allow my peace to fill you. I am what you need. I am the way, peace and life. Now, reach out for me.

As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes. “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam” (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.” ‭‭John‬ ‭9‬:‭1‬-‭7‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Read the signs. They will help guide you in the way you should go. My words are life. Learn them. Don't allow them to become darkened nor twisted. Follow me. Grow, becoming whom I see within you.

This is what Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem: In the last days the mountain of the LORD’s temple will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills, and all nations will stream to it. Many peoples will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.” The law will go out from Zion, the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. Come, descendants of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Listen for me. Walk where I will show to you. I will light the way for you to travel. Do not become impatient, but learn to share the love I share with you. Listen for my voi...

Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. Then I will teach transgressors your ways, so that sinners will turn back to you. Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, you who are God my Savior, and my tongue will sing of your righteousness. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭51‬:‭9‬-‭14‬ ‭NIV Turn off those things which distract you from me. Leave them off and become renewed. Allow my Spirit to quiet you. I will supply the only power you require. Learn to sit with me. I will guide you where you need to be.

I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD watches over you— the LORD is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭121‬:‭1‬-‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Don't attempt to run away, but come and sit with me. Allow my words to speak healing. My light will dispel the darkness, showing you the pathway for you to be taking.

The words of the wise are like goads, their collected sayings like firmly embedded nails —given by one shepherd. Be warned, my son, of anything in addition to them. Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body. Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind. For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil. ‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭12‬:‭11‬-‭14‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Slow your pace and listen for me. I will speak with you. I will show myself within your dreams. I will give direction for the challenges within your life. Come now and allow me to clean away your confusion and anxiety. Come and reach out to me.

So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭18‬ ‭NIV‬‬ I am watching over you in your daily travel. Listen for me as I will be with you. I will prompt you, teaching you to respond. Learn my voice and follow what I will say to you. In it is life.

In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace. ‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭11‬-‭14‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Quiet your inner self and listen for me. Be listening. I will whisper needed corrections to you. Don't allow anxiety to be your guide. Be washed in the truth and love of my written word. You can find me there. Recognize what I may say to you.  You are under my grace. It is life.

There is a river whose streams bring joy to the city of God, the holy place where the Most High lives. God is in that city. It cannot fall. God will help it at the break of dawn. Nations are in turmoil, and kingdoms topple. The earth melts at the sound of God’s voice. The Lord of Armies is with us. The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭46‬:‭4‬-‭7‬ ‭GW‬‬ Come and rest beneath the shadows I have placed for you. There is no terror nor anxiety I will fill you with my peace. My presence is what you need. Walk forward with me. There is no need to look back at what once was but look ahead. See with new eyes what I have supplied.

God’s divine power has given us everything we need for life and for godliness. This power was given to us through knowledge of the one who called us by his own glory and integrity. Through his glory and integrity he has given us his promises that are of the highest value. Through these promises you will share in the divine nature because you have escaped the corruption that sinful desires cause in the world. ‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭GW‬‬ Come and rest beneath the shadows I have placed for you. I will fill you with my peace. With me there is no terror nor anxiety. My presence is what you need. Walk forward with me. There is no need to look back at what once was, but look ahead. See with new eyes what I have supplied.

On the fifth day of the sixth month in the sixth year, I was sitting in my home. Judah’s leaders were sitting in front of me. The power of the Almighty Lord came over me. As I looked, I saw something that looked like a human. From the waist down its body looked like fire, and from the waist up its body looked like glowing metal. It stretched out what looked like a hand and grabbed me by the hair on my head. In these visions from God, the Spirit carried me between heaven and earth. He took me to Jerusalem, to the entrance to the north gate of the inner courtyard of the temple. That was where an idol that stirs up ⌞God’s⌟ anger was located. There I saw the glory of Israel’s God as I did in the vision that I saw in the valley. ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭GW Don't be fearful, but awaken your inner-self to me and my word. Within it you will find life and direction for the way I have for you. Allow my healing to reach within you. My holiness will bring wholeness to you. You will become awake...

Our message is not about ourselves. It is about Jesus Christ as the Lord. We are your servants for his sake. We are his servants because the same God who said that light should shine out of darkness has given us light. For that reason we bring to light the knowledge about God’s glory which shines from Christ’s face. Our bodies are made of clay, yet we have the treasure of the Good News in them. This shows that the superior power of this treasure belongs to God and doesn’t come from us. ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭5‬-‭7‬ ‭GW‬‬ I am the unchanging creator-God. What am I creating through you? What lives are being affected? Bring them closer to me and watch. Expect them and you to grow more and more into my image.

Yet, even today, when they read the books of Moses, a veil covers their minds. But whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. This Lord is the Spirit. Wherever the Lord’s Spirit is, there is freedom. As all of us reflect the Lord’s glory with faces that are not covered with veils, we are being changed into his image with ever-increasing glory. This comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭3‬:‭15‬-‭18‬ ‭GW‬‬ Quiet your inner noise. Allow patience to direct you in your daily journey. Walk in the freedom of knowing me and my love. I am there now. I am with you, waiting for you to reach out, believing.

The Spirit of the Lord is with me. He has anointed me to tell the Good News to the poor. He has sent me to announce forgiveness to the prisoners of sin and the restoring of sight to the blind, to forgive those who have been shattered by sin, to announce the year of the Lord’s favor. ‭‭Luke‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬-‭19‬ ‭GW Slow down and examine things. What are your expectations as you learn to trust in me? Stretch forth and become what has been already spoken over you. My words have been planted within you. Now soak in my water.

Blessed are those who have regard for the weak; the Lord delivers them in times of trouble. The Lord protects and preserves them— they are counted among the blessed in the land— he does not give them over to the desire of their foes. The Lord sustains them on their sickbed and restores them from their bed of illness. I said, “Have mercy on me, Lord; heal me, for I have sinned against you.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭41‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Don't be in a hurry, but pause in your day. Stop and listen for me. My voice will speak what you need, but not always what you may wish to hear, Listen and receive from me.

From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭17‬:‭26‬-‭28‬ ‭NIV‬‬ As you move about the twists and turns in your life, know I am with you. I will guide you. I will be your protection from the enemy. You can learn from what I place within your pathway. Reach out to me, expecting I will answer you. Look to me. I am there with you.

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. Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods. Many, Lord my God, are the wonders you have done, the things you planned for us. None can compare with you; were I to speak and tell of your deeds, they would be too many to declare. Sacrifice and offering you did not desire— but my ears you have opened— burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require. Then I said, “Here I am, I have come— it is written about me in the scroll. I desire to do your will, my God; your law is within my heart.” I proclaim your saving acts in the great assembly; I do not seal my lips, Lord, as you know. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭40‬:‭1‬-‭9‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Some time after this, Jesus crossed to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias), and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the signs he had performed by healing the sick. Then Jesus went up on a mountainside and sat down with his disciples. The Jewish Passover Festival was near. When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?” He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do. ‭‭John‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭NIV Watch for me as I reach through your day. I will guide you, if you will listen to me and listen for me. I can open new pathways for you to examine. Reach out to others. Help them to know my love and caring. Speak to their needs and to their hearts, as I speak to you.

To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy— to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.” ‭‭Jude‬ ‭1‬:‭24‬-‭25‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Come and be with me. Sit and hear. Listen to the sounds of nature as they sing out in the way they were created. You too have a song to be singing. Let your words be heard. Reach others. Allow me to be seen through your attitude.

But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death. ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15‬:‭20‬-‭26‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Stop and consider, what have your night dreams been telling you? Think upon them and explore the direction I have placed within them for you. Reach out. My ways are there for you.

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil. For those who are evil will be destroyed, but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37‬:‭7‬-‭9‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Be surrounded with me and the safety I bring for you. Allow it to grow you. Be filled yet be hungry for more. Follow me. Become a reflection of my love. As you learn to listen, I can whisper my way for you to move. Trust in me. I am there even now.

So it is with you. Since you are eager for gifts of the Spirit, try to excel in those that build up the church. For this reason the one who speaks in a tongue should pray that they may interpret what they say. For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my understanding; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my understanding. Otherwise when you are praising God in the Spirit, how can someone else, who is now put in the position of an inquirer, say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since they do not know what you are saying? You are giving thanks well enough, but no one else is edified.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬-‭17‬ ‭NIV Allow me to show you my love this day. Put aside anxiety and search for my ways. They will surprise and encourage you. Look for me, expecting you should find my way for you. I have not left you to the way of the enemy. I have shown you what is important. No...

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬-‭5‬ ‭NIV Sit quiet. Look through the mess all about you. If you listen, you will hear my guiding direction. Follow it. Trust my word. I am the only way for true peace. I am the only way to life. I will reveal my way to those who have learned to listen.

There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines. ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭6‬-‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Draw closer. Become who you are in me. You are one piece of many. All are loved. All are important. You too can share my wisdom. Come near. Watch what I will do.

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 Are you ready to stretch forth your hand and receive healing. You are whole. Now reach out to others. Guide them in my pathway. Show them my love and direction. I have shown you the way. Now be my example to those I send to you. Allow my love to guide you.

Another time Jesus went into the synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath. Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Stand up in front of everyone.” Then Jesus asked them, “Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they remained silent. He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored. ‭‭Mark‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Stretch forth your hand and receive healing. You are whole. Now reach out to others. Guide them into my pathway. Show them my love. Stretch yourself for my ways and directions.  

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling, no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike...

Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him. Fear the Lord, you his holy people, for those who fear him lack nothing. The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭34‬:‭8‬-‭10‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Sit with me. Allow me to wash away the dirt of your life. Do not allow the enemy to be an influence but trust my Word. It is life. Sit quietly in my presence. Follow the pathway I have for you. I am there with you now.

For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Don't turn your back or become angry when the enemy comes at you. He wishes to intimidate you, so stand strong with me. Be filled with my strength. Know my written word. Act upon it. If you believe, my word will guide you.

For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. The Lord loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love. By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth. He gathers the waters of the sea into jars; he puts the deep into storehouses. Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the people of the world revere him. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭33‬:‭4‬-‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Stop what you are doing and listen for my direction in your life. I am there, I am not an angry God. I am a God of provision and direction. I am the way for you to be going. Listen now. I am there active in your life. Recognize my leading you. I will show you what is important to me.

You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you this: Love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you. In this way you show that you are children of your Father in heaven. He makes his sun rise on people whether they are good or evil. He lets rain fall on them whether they are just or unjust. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭43‬-‭45‬ ‭GW Believe in me and not the thoughts and falsehoods which float about you. I am truth and light I am the way which sustains you. Do not be confused nor angry, but stand firm in me. Fill your heart with my love. Learn who you are meant to be,

If we claim that we experience a shared life with him and continue to stumble around in the dark, we’re obviously lying through our teeth— we’re not living what we claim. But if we walk in the light, God himself being the light, we also experience a shared life with one another, as the sacrificed blood of Jesus, God’s Son, purges all our sin. ‭‭1 John‬ ‭1‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭MSG‬‬ Put aside anxiety and walk in my light. I am the way. I am unchanging. Fill yourself with the good I have for you. Walk with me in your journey. Become who I have declared to you. My light will direct you in your journey.

Jesus’ disciples went with him as he left in a boat. Suddenly, a severe storm came across the sea. The waves were covering the boat. Yet, Jesus was sleeping. So they woke him up, saying, “Lord! Save us! We’re going to die!” Jesus said to them, “Why do you cowards have so little faith?” Then he got up, gave an order to the wind and the sea, and the sea became very calm. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭8‬:‭23‬-‭26‬ ‭GW‬‬ Don't allow the storms to guide you. Release your anxiety and sit quietly with me. Trust me. I am there. Some storms are to help you grow. That angers our enemy. Walk with me in the way I have for you.

Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns.” The world is firmly established, it cannot be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity. Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let the sea resound, and all that is in it. Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them; let all the trees of the forest sing for joy. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭96‬:‭10‬-‭12‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Let your joy be seen by others. Allow it to flow freely. My peace will cover you. It can heal you in your time of worry. Allow me to reign in your life. Spread my ways to those around you. Bring them into my family.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Look outward towards me. Listen to the sounds. Can you hear my voice? Recognize it. Learn to know my directing you. I will direct you in your walk. I will protect you. My love is your covering. I have loved you since the beginning.

I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it On to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬-‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬ I am the healer, the one who brings the way to deliverance. Sit with me and become whole. I will guide you into the needed pathway. I will reveal your purpose in my kingdom. Be washed and leave that anger at my altar.

This is how we know that we live in him And he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. ‭‭1 John‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬-‭16‬ ‭NIV‬‬ . Clean your windows to the world about you. See with my sight. I will show you What you need to see. I will guide you in the pathway for you to travel. Read my word. Learn its’ inner meaning. Depend upon me. I will guide you. Be secure in following my pathway.

  Brothers and sisters,  think of what you were when you were called.  Not many of you were wise by human standards;  not many were influential;  not many were of noble birth.  But God chose the foolish things of the world  to shame the wise; God chose the weak things  of the world to shame the strong.  God chose the lowly things of this world and  the despised things— and the things that are not— to nullify the things that are,  so that no one may boast before him. ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭1‬:‭26‬-‭29‬ ‭NIV‬‬ . Don’t become despondent. You can find what you need with me. Read my word. Allow it to guide you. I will speak to you through it. Fill yourself with the truth of my word. I will guide you. I will lead in my way.

  “Teach me your way, Lord;  lead me in a straight path  because of my oppressors.  Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,  for false witnesses rise up against me,  spouting malicious accusations.  I remain confident of this:  I will see the goodness of the Lord  in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord;  be strong and take heart  and wait for the Lord.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭27‬:‭11‬-‭14‬ ‭NIV‬‬

  Who is wise and understanding among you?   Let them show it by their good life, by deeds  done in the humility that comes from wisdom.  But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition  in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth.  Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven  but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.  For where you have envy and selfish ambition,  there you find disorder and every evil practice.” ‭‭James‬ ‭3‬:‭13‬-‭16‬ When you lose control, come to me. When Your anger shows, release it to me. Come  for forgiveness and receive new life. I am what you need. Within me is life. Learn to walk in the way I will show you. Reflect my love.

What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. ‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Quiet yourself. Release your stress and move your focus to me. I am true and caring. I will provide you with what you need. I will show you the pathway to walk. Believe that I hear your prayers. Come and sit with me.

I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always offering prayer with joy in my every Prayer for you all, in view of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now. For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬-‭6‬ ‭NASB1995 Don't be in a hurry. Learn to spend your time with me. Slow yourself and experience what I have for you. Trust in me and experience my presence. Walk with me. I am the authority which you need. In me is eternal life. In me is fulfillment and peace.

As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions —it is by grace you have been saved. ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NIV The way has been repaired. Come through and find me once again. Don't be led by fear. Receive the peace which comes from me. I am what you need. I am there at all times. Treat others as I have treated you. Reflect my peace.  Share my love with them.

Now My soul is troubled. What should I say — Father, save Me from this hour? But that is why I came to this hour. Father, glorify Your name! ” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again! ” The crowd standing there heard it and said it was thunder. Others said that an angel had spoken to Him. ‭‭John‬ ‭12‬:‭27‬-‭29‬ ‭HCSB‬‬ Your safety is with me. Stay focused upon what I have directed you. Don't be drawn to the noise of the enemy. He will distract you into the path of death. I am the life. Walk with me.

Life and death are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit. ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭18‬:‭21‬ ‭HCSB Don't allow the enemy spoil your day. Speak peace. Release it into the airways. Believe the truth of my written word. Let it guide you and protect you.

As He was teaching in the temple complex, Jesus cried out, “You know Me and you know where I am from. Yet I have not come on My own, but the One who sent Me is true. You don’t know Him; I know Him because I am from Him, and He sent Me.” Then they tried to seize Him. Yet no one laid a hand on Him because His hour had not yet come. However, many from the crowd believed in Him and said, “When the Messiah comes, He won’t perform more signs than this man has done, will He? ” ‭‭John‬ ‭7‬:‭28‬-‭31‬ ‭HCSB‬‬ As this day passes before you, what do you remember? Have you taken the time to quiet yourself and sit quietly with me? Don't allow the temporary frustrations to become your norm. Stretch forth into my heavens. Ready yourself for a ride .

Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable His judgments and untraceable His ways! For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been His counselor? Or who has ever first given to Him, and has to be repaid? For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen. ‭‭Romans‬ ‭11‬:‭33‬-‭36‬ ‭HCSB‬‬ I hear your internal rumbling and grumbling as it explodes from you. Don't hold it in nor let it out at someone, but come to me. Sit in my presence and allow me to wash over you, I will direct your heart. I will speak my peace over your situations.

In the morning they got up early and went out to the wilderness of Tekoa. As they were about to go out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Hear me, Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem. Believe in Yahweh your God, and you will be established; believe in His prophets, and you will succeed.” Then he consulted with the people and appointed some to sing for the Lord and some to praise the splendor of His holiness. When they went out in front of the armed forces, they kept singing: Give thanks to the Lord, for His faithful love endures forever. ‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭20‬:‭ 20-21‬‬ ‭HCSB Walk in the authority of my love. Allow it to reach out and affect others. Show them the way to life. Share with them the love I share with you. Give thanks. Teach them the way to life through me.

Then they tried to seize Him. Yet no one laid a hand on Him because His hour had not yet come. However, many from the crowd believed in Him and said, “When the Messiah comes, He won’t perform more signs than this man has done, will He? ” The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things about Him, so the chief priests and the Pharisees sent temple police to arrest Him. ‭‭John‬ ‭7‬:‭30‬-‭32‬ ‭HCSB‬‬ Your safety and security comes from knowing me. You may suffer now, but will later be part of the final resurrection. Then there will be no more destruction. Glory from the Father will blanket you and be your provision. Now open your eyes and ears to his leading you. Reach out to him.

Then Asa cried out to the Lord his God: “Lord, there is no one besides You to help the mighty and those without strength. Help us, Lord our God, for we depend on You, and in Your name we have come against this large army. Yahweh, You are our God. Do not let a mere mortal hinder You.” ‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭14‬:‭11‬ ‭HCSB Without me you have nothing but an empty page. You will be empty and lost. Come closer and hear the words I have to speak. Understand them in the context of my pure light. The enemy will continue to come at you, but you have an option. You do not need to fear. You are surrounded by my warriors. My host will move on your behalf. Take a stand. Raise your voice in triumph and push back the enemy.

We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God: those who are called according to His purpose. For those He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers. And those He predestined, He also called; and those He called, He also justified; and those He justified, He also glorified. ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭28‬-‭30‬ ‭HCSB‬‬ Return. Sit beneath the shadow of my protection. Hear my words of truth. They will guide you in your journey. They will demonstrate my heart. I am there with you now. Call out to me and listen for my direction.

I love you, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my Savior, my God, my rock in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the strength of my salvation, my stronghold. The Lord should be praised. I called on him, and I was saved from my enemies. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭18‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭GW‬‬ Don't avoid those hard places, but learn to walk through them with me. Allow my ways to bring the needed healing. Ask me and receive my strength. I am yet the way you need to follow.

When Solomon finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offerings and the other sacrifices, and the Lord’s glory filled the temple. The priests couldn’t go into the Lord’s temple because the Lord’s glory had filled the Lord’s temple. When all the Israelites saw the fire come down and the Lord’s glory on the temple, they knelt down with their faces on the pavement. They worshiped and praised the Lord, by saying, “He is good; his mercy endures forever.” ‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭7‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭GW‬‬ What do you hear when you listen for me? Quiet the noisy voices the enemy has sent. Sit with me and refresh yourself. Come beneath my shadow. I will continue to be your protector. I have provided the way for you. Now walk in it.

In that night God appeared to Solomon and said to him, “Ask what I shall give you.” Solomon said to God, “You have dealt with my father David with great lovingkindness, and have made me king in his place. Now, O Lord God, Your promise to my father David is fulfilled, for You have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth. Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people, for who can rule this great people of Yours?” ‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭1‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬ Don't be fearful, but trust in me.

It was not through the law that Abraham and his descendants received the promise that he would be the heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith. For if those who are of the law become heirs, faith would be made void and the promise nullified, because the law produces wrath, for where there is no law, there is no offense. ‭‭Romans‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬-‭15‬ ‭MEV‬‬ Read the signs, "You Are Not Alone". I am there with you. At all times of your day I am there. Recognize me and my leading you along the way you should go. Listen for me, believing in my written word.

Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how fathomless his ways! For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor? Or who has first given to God, that God needs to repay him? For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever! Amen. ‭‭Romans‬ ‭11‬:‭33‬-‭36‬ ‭NET‬‬ Are you watching for me or the circumstances? Have you learned to put your trust in me? Don't become frustrated, but let us become connected. My words are truth and life. Listen to them. Follow where they may lead you.

For my yoke is easy to bear, and my load is not hard to carry. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭28‬-‭30‬ ‭NET‬‬ Do not become fearful. That would be the ploy of the enemy. Focus upon me and my written word. Let my light flow from you to others. Rest in me. Come and sit before my presence. Allow me to wash you in my love.

The Lord is in his holy temple. The Lord’s throne is in heaven. His eyes see. They examine Adam’s descendants. The Lord tests righteous people, but he hates wicked people and the ones who love violence. He rains down fire and burning sulfur upon wicked people.

God’s bread is the man who comes from heaven and gives life to the world.” They said to him, “Sir, give us this bread all the time.” Jesus told them, “I am the bread of life.

God’s anger is revealed from heaven against every  ungodly and immoral thing people do as they try  to suppress the truth by their immoral living.  What can be known about God is clear to them  because he has made it clear to them.  From the creation of the world, God’s invisible qualities,  his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly  observed in what he made.  As a result, people have no excuse.  They knew God but did not praise and thank him  for being God. Instead, their thoughts were pointless,  and their misguided minds were plunged into darkness.  While claiming to be wise, they became fools.  They exchanged the glory of the immortal God for statues  that looked like mortal humans, birds, animals, and snakes. ‭‭Romans‬ ‭1‬:‭18‬-‭23‬ ‭GW ‬‬

I’m not ashamed of the Good News. It is God’s power to save everyone who believes, Jews first and Greeks as well. God’s approval is revealed in this Good News.

Become prepared for serving me. I will fill you with what you need. I will heal your wounds. Draw closer to my throne. See the glory. Don't be fearful but worship me.

Sing to the Lord a new song! Sing to the Lord, all the earth! Sing to the Lord! Praise his name! Day after day announce that the Lord saves his people. Tell people about his glory. Tell all the nations about his miracles. The Lord is great! He should be highly praised. He should be feared more than all other gods because all the gods of the nations are idols. The Lord made the heavens. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭96‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭GW‬‬ Do you see their faces? I know each one of  them. I know their hearts and their hurts.  Speak blessings to them with your mouth  and within your prayers. Reach outward. Take what I have for you. Become a blessing to them.

Faith enabled Enoch to be taken instead of dying. No one could find him, because God had taken him. Scripture states that before Enoch was taken, God was pleased with him. No one can please God without faith. Whoever goes to God must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who seek him. ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭GW‬‬ Come to the spot I have provided for you. Sit there and learn to recognize me. My hand is upon you. Feel the warmth of my healing. Unpack your frustration and leave it here. Now begin to move closer to my altar. Do not be frightened. I am the holy one. I am the one you seek after.

O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name throughout the earth! Your glory is sung above the heavens. From the mouths of little children and infants, you have built a fortress against your opponents to silence the enemy and the avenger. When I look at your heavens, the creation of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have set in place— what is a mortal that you remember him or the Son of Man that you take care of him? You have made him a little lower than yourself. You have crowned him with glory and honor. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭GW‬‬ Listen for my guiding. Do not ignore me. Follow through with what I have placed within your heart. Become secure in me. Allow my written word to fill you with mercy and truth. Take from it each day.

The man saw Jesus at a distance. So he ran ⌞to Jesus, bowed down in front of him, and shouted, “Why are you bothering me now, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Swear to God that you won’t torture me.” He shouted this because Jesus said, “You evil spirit, come out of the man.” Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He told Jesus, “My name is Legion [Six Thousand], because there are many of us.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭5‬:‭6‬-‭9‬ ‭GW‬‬ Do you believe I am there, that I can reach across and release my healing into your life? Ask believing. Ask me, and find what is needed. I will show you. I will present myself. I will strengthen you. Read my word. My truth continues.

The descendants of Reuben, Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 soldiers ready to go to war. They were skilled fighters who could carry shields and swords and shoot arrows. They went to war against Hagar’s descendants (including Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab) and received help while fighting them. Hagar’s descendants and the nations with them were handed over to Reuben’s descendants. They had called out to God during the battle, and he answered their prayers because they trusted him. ‭‭1 Chronicles‬ ‭5‬:‭18‬-‭20‬ ‭GW‬‬ I can answer your prayers. Trust in me. It's time to remember to fully trust me. I will direct you in fighting your battles. Do not forget me. Do not turn away nor misplace your hope. I am the way and the truth. The enemy is a liar. Call out to me expecting me to answer.

Jesus said to them, “I can guarantee this truth: When the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne in the world to come, you, my followers, will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who gave up homes, brothers or sisters, father, mother, children, or fields because of my name will receive a hundred times more and will inherit eternal life. However, many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭19‬:‭28‬-‭30‬ ‭GW‬‬ Consider your ways. Continue in my Word. It will feed you what you need, if you believe and follow. Do not become fearful nor lazy. I will show you the way to go in your travels. I will be there with you. I am all that you need.

Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. When the Sabbath came, he began to teaching the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. “Where did this man get these things?” they asked. “What’s this wisdom that has been given him? What are these remarkable miracles he is performing? Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him. ‭‭Mark‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Watch for me. Do not become tired nor discouraged. I am there if you take the time to listen. I’ve not left you. Days pass, and so do your ideas about me. I present myself In the way you need to know me. Listen and watch. Seek me with your heart.
