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 your foot against a stone. You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent. “Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭91‬:‭9‬-‭16‬ ‭NIV ‬‬

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!” For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper And from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings you may seek refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark. You will not be afraid of the terror by night, or of the arrow that flies by day; ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭91‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NASB1995 I am with you throughout your day. Go to those places where you have found me before. Don't be in a hurry, but offer your thanks in the quiet. Allow my forgiveness to cleanse and  protect you. Sit in peace with me.  

I am now going the way of all the earth, And you know with all your heart and all your soul that none of the good promises the Lord your God made to you has failed. Everything was fulfilled for you; not one promise has failed. Since every good thing the Lord your God promised you has come about, so He will bring on you every bad thing until He has annihilated you from this good Land the Lord your God has given you. If you break the covenant of the Lord your God, which He commanded you, and go and worship other gods, and bow down to them, the Lord’s anger will burn against you, and You will quickly disappear from this good land He has given you. Joshua 23:14-16 HCSB Like the blue sky, you too can be washed. You can be cleansed through my Word. Allow it's truth to guide you into my ways. Believe what my Word says. It is truth and life. It will direct you in the way of my son. He is my image. Seek him, expecting his direction.

Be very strong and continue obeying all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, so that you do not turn from it to the right or left and so that you do not associate with these nations remaining among you. Do not call on the names of their gods or make an oath to them; do not worship them or bow down to them. Instead, remain faithful to the Lord your God, as you have done to this day. Joshua 23:6-8 HCSB Do not be in a rush, but spend time with me. Sit quietly. Listen and allow me to speak with you. Tell me what is upon your heart.

We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did. ‭‭1 John‬ ‭2‬:‭3‬-‭6‬ ‭NIV ‬‬

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 NIV I am the peace which you need each day. Come closer and sit with me. Allow my healing peace to reach you. Become filled with me and see the wonder of my creation. Reach out to me.

Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead— since he was about a hundred years old— and that Sarah’s womb was also dead. Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬-‭22‬ ‭NIV Are you listening for me to speak with you? Do you know me, or recognize my voice? Can you sense me directing you? Are you responding or are you pretending not to hear me? Allow my peace to come upon you. My Spirit is life and peace. Follow the way I direct you.

As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Learn to recognize what is important. Find yourself satisfied and knowing more of my word. It is me. Allow my peace to cover your life. Let others see the love I have for them. Seek me each part of your day. I love you. I am there with you. Walk forward with me. I am what you need.

Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?” Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.” Peter said to him, “We have left all we had to follow you!” “Truly I tell you,” Jesus said to them, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or sisters or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God will fail to receive many times as much in this age, and in the age to come eternal life.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭18‬:‭26‬-‭30‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Learn to recognize what is important. Find yourself satisfied and knowing more of me. Allow my peace to cover your life. Let others see the love I have for them. Seek me in each part of your day. I have you where you are to be, and I am there with you. Walk forward with me. I am what you need.

You, Lord, showed favor to your land; you restored the fortunes of Jacob. You forgave the iniquity of your people and covered all their sins. You set aside all your wrath and turned from your fierce anger. Restore us again, God our Savior, and put away your displeasure toward us. Will you be angry with us forever? Will you prolong your anger through all generations? Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you? Show us your unfailing love, Lord, and grant us your salvation. I will listen to what God the Lord says; he promises peace to his people, his faithful servants— but let them not turn to folly. Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that his glory may dwell in our land. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭85‬:‭1‬-‭9‬ ‭NIV‬‬ My word and my way are never changing. They remain true and righteous. They will guide you into the light of life. Seek their understanding and practice the life they carry.

Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in 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?” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Remember where you are. Have you been here before? Have you walked through the entanglements or did you avoid them? Find me within your life. I am there to guide you where you should be going. My way is truth. Only through me is the life you need.

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole. All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord has made to light upon Him the guilt and iniquity of us all. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭AMPC‬‬ I am there. I've never left you alone. I  provide what you need to grow in my ways. There are opportunities yet in front of you. See the supernatural show itself.  Learn to listen for my leading. I am calling you to walk along in my way.

If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing right. But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers. For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. For he who said, “You shall not commit adultery,” also said, “You shall not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.” James 2:8-11 NIV Why are you sitting and worrying? Have you shared your feelings with me? I am here with you. Reach forward and listen to what I am saying. Listen for me. Learn the way I communicate with my heart. Keep my ways in your life.

The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1‬:‭15‬-‭18‬ ‭NIV‬‬ See their faces. Notice the pain in their hearts as they move through their days unaware of me or my love for them. I have not changed. What of you? Are you changing into my image for your life? Are you performing my ways, expressing my love to them?

Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyes were not weak nor his strength gone. The Israelites grieved for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days, until the time of weeping and mourning was over. Now Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands on him. So the Israelites listened to him and did what the Lord had commanded Moses. Since then, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face, who did all those signs and wonders the Lord sent him to do in Egypt—to Pharaoh and to all his officials and to his whole land. For no one has ever shown the mighty power or performed the awesome deeds that Moses did in the sight of all Israel. Deuteronomy 34:7-12 NIV Do not be in a rush, but quiet yourself. Listen for me. I have places for you to be going in your time with me. There are lives to be healed and reached. Go forth as I show you. Become whom you were created to become.

Then the Lord replied: “Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it. For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay. The Lord is in his holy temple;  let all the earth be silent before him. ‭‭Habakkuk‬ ‭2‬:‭2‬-‭3‬, ‭20‬ ‭NIV

Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up. Proverbs 12:25 NIV Listen for the sounds about you. They are of my creation. Each of their songs is unique. They sing out declaring what I have given them. Allow others to learn of me. Show them the truth through your life. Become who you were born to be in my kingdom. Be my reflection.

Then he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it but did not find any. So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, ‘For three years now I’ve been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’ “  ‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone for one more year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it. If it bears fruit next year, fine! If not, then cut it down.’ ”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭13‬:‭6‬-‭9‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Come and sit with me. Give me your attention. Allow my ways and healing to flow through you. Bare my fruit. My spirit is there with you now, whether you realize it or not. You are not alone. Walk your way with me. I will provide the guiding you may need.

Like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them. It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the middle of the night or toward daybreak.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭12‬:‭36‬-‭38‬ ‭NIV‬‬ You should not only see the signs before you, but to recognize and follow them. Allow me to keep you safe. It is not the time to turn. My light will show you when you can turn to the right. Don't hurry through, but rest in my word. Allow it to feed and direct you.

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Then Moses summoned Joshua and said to him in the presence of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for you must go with this people into the land that the Lord swore to their ancestors to give them, and you must divide it among them as their inheritance. The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. ‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭31‬:‭6‬-‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Sit quietly with me. Pause and listen. Can you hear my thoughts? They are there. Don't hesitate to ask of me. Know that you are loved and there is a plan for you. I am the Lord creator God. I have made all things. Put your trust in me. Learn who you are within my ways.

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. ‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭8‬-‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Sit with me and be healed. Quiet your inner mind of those accusations of failure. You are whole with me. The price has been paid. Look outward, for I have places for you to be going. There are lives awaiting the smile and truth as it comes forth from you.

No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light. Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are healthy, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are unhealthy, your body also is full of darkness. See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness. Therefore, if your whole body is full of light, and no part of it dark, it will be just as full of light as when a lamp shines its light on you. ‭‭Luke‬ ‭11‬:‭33‬-‭36‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Don't hurry through your day. Look for me. I am there with you. Identify my ways of reaching out to you and become filled with life. Allow my written Word to become a guide for those things happening about you.

The nations you will dispossess listen to those who practice sorcery or divination. But as for you, the Lord Your God has not permitted you to do so. The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your fellow Israelites. You must listen to him. For this is what you asked of the Lord your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly when you said, “Let us not hear the voice of the Lord our God nor see this great fire anymore, or we will die.” ‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭18‬:‭14‬-‭16‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Listen to the words your actions speak when others see you. Are they what I have placed within you? Do they represent my loving direction? Fear not the evil one, as I have paid the price. Walk with me. Learn my ways in truth and love. Listen for me and I will speak to you. I will show you the way for you to be going.

Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭4‬-‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Do not allow this to be a day of distraction. Keep focused upon me. I will continue to be the light in the darkness. Follow my light. I will lead you in the pathway you are to be moving. Reach out and bring prayer for those I bring to you. Don't be surprised when they are healed. Set them upon the road so they to may reach others in my name.

Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” John 14:5-7 NIV

The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all Things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers Or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1‬:‭15‬-‭18‬ ‭NIV‬‬ I am there. I've not left you, except to help you grow stronger in the way for you to grow. Depend upon me. Put aside your business. Come closer, sit with me. Remove the blinders and allow me to cleanse your heart.

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 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. ‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬-‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Come to the spot where we meet, that place where you can unload your failures and receive healing. Come and sit with me. Don't rush through our time, but listen for me. Hear the words of direction I place within you. Feel the weight of my presence. Look to me and you will find me.
