Now the Lord was gracious to Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did for Sarah what he had promised. Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised him. Abraham gave the name Isaac to the son Sarah bore him. When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God commanded him. Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭21‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NIV Do not walk in fear of the enemy. Ask believing that I will answer you. I have given what you need. Use them to be doing what I show you in your daily walk. Fill your day with my written word. It will feed you and open the truth. Allow me to guide you in your journey.

Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.” Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.” ‭‭John‬ ‭11‬:‭23‬-‭27‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Don't become overwhelmed or confused by the activities of the enemy. Keep your focus upon me. Follow the way I have whispered to you. I am unchanged. Learn my names. Become familiar and dependent upon them in your time of need, and also in those good days. I am there with you. I am what you need.

Then I called on the name of Yahweh: “Yahweh, save me! ” The Lord is gracious and righteous; our God is compassionate. The Lord guards the inexperienced; I was helpless, and He saved me. Return to your rest, my soul, for the Lord has been good to you. For You, Lord, rescued me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling. I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭116‬:‭4‬-‭9‬ ‭HCSB‬‬ Do not be fearful nor be led by anger, but follow me. Receive my peace and wholeness. My word will guide you in the way you should go. Rest in the peace which only I can provide.

I tell you the solemn truth, the one who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber. The one who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. The doorkeeper opens the door for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought all his own sheep out, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they recognize his voice.” ‭‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭NET‬‬ Come and sit with me. Put aside your impatience and receive forgiveness. Look beyond today and into my forever love and guidance. Read my word. Pause and listen for it to speak to you. Do you hear me calling to you?

Not to us, O Lord, not to us! But to your name bring honor, for the sake of your loyal love and faithfulness. Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” Our God is in heaven! He does whatever he pleases! Their idols are made of silver and gold – they are man-made. They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see, ears, but cannot hear, noses, but cannot smell, hands, but cannot touch, feet, but cannot walk. They cannot even clear their throats. Those who make them will end up like them, as will everyone who trusts in them. O Israel, trust in the Lord! He is their deliverer and protector. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭115‬:‭1‬-‭9‬ ‭NET‬‬

I have a lot more to tell you, but that would be too much for you now. When the Spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into the full truth. He won’t speak on his own. He will speak what he hears and will tell you about things to come. He will give me glory, because he will tell you what I say. Everything the Father says is also what I say. That is why I said, ‘He will take what I say and tell it to you.’” ‭‭John‬ ‭16‬:‭12‬-‭15‬ ‭GW‬‬ Wash yourself. Be found reading my word. It is truth. My Spirit will guide you in the way for you to walk. Listen for me. It will come clearly to you. I will continue to guide you in your journey.

Jesus answered, “I’m not possessed. I honor my Father, but you dishonor me. I don’t want my own glory. But there is someone who wants it, and he is the judge. I can guarantee this truth: Whoever obeys what I say will never see death.” ‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭49‬-‭51‬ ‭GW‬‬ Don't be fearful, but call upon my name. Find yourself reading my Word. Allow it's truth to guide you. I am the way you need to rely upon. I am life. I remain the way you should be seeking. Follow me. I am life.

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 listen to the voices of distraction. Know me. Recognize my voice. Follow the way I have for you. You can find my peace and share me with those I bring into your pathway. Walk secure with me.

But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit. ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17‬:‭7‬-‭8‬ ‭NIV Bring your ears and needs to me. Release them from your grip. Place them upon my altar. Don't allow them to distract you from me. Wash yourself and put on my Spirit. I will lead you in the way you should go.

On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” ‭‭John‬ ‭7‬:‭37‬-‭38‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Put way from busyness and sit quietly with me. Close your wandering eyes and listen. Await my presence. Be filled with my spirit. I will guide you and wash the feelings of failure out of you. I will refresh you with the living water.

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬-‭13‬ ‭NIV‬‬ I am with you. Listen for my voice. I will direct you in your journey. I will walk with you along the way and be your protection. Learn my word. Allow it to fill you with truth. Share me with others.

When Samuel caught sight of Saul, the Lord said to him, “This is the man I spoke to you about; he will govern my people.” Saul approached Samuel in the gateway and asked, “Would you please tell me where the seer’s house is?” “I am the seer,” Samuel replied. “Go up ahead of me to the high place, for today you are to eat with me, and in the morning I will send you on your way and will tell you all that is in your heart. As for the donkeys you lost three days ago, do not worry about them; they have been found. And to whom is all the desire of Israel turned, if not to you and your whole family line?”” ‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭9‬:‭17‬-‭20‬ ‭NIV‬‬ My ways continue. Listen for me and the sound of my voice to direct you. Weigh your reactions carefully. Become whom you were called to be. I will be there to guide you along your way.

Jesus told them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never become hungry, And whoever believes in me will never become thirsty. I’ve told you that you have seen me. However, you don’t believe in me. Everyone whom the Father gives me will come to me. I will never turn away anyone who comes to me. I haven’t come from heaven to do what I want to do. I’ve come to do what the one who sent me wants me to do.” ‭‭John‬ ‭6‬:‭35‬-‭38‬ ‭GW‬‬ Go back and reread my gospel stories. See the heart and life of my son. He is your example. Follow Him. Allow his ways to become your ways. Believe in Him. Reach others through what he demonstrates to you.

When evening came, His disciples went down to the sea, got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. Darkness had already set in, but Jesus had not yet come to them. Then a high wind arose, and the sea began to churn. After they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea. He was coming near the boat, and they were afraid. But He said to them, “It is I. Don’t be afraid! ” Then they were willing to take Him on board, and at once the boat was at the shore where they were heading. ‭‭John‬ ‭6‬:‭16‬-‭21‬ ‭HCSB‬‬ Listen to the sounds of nature. Each set of birds has it's own song. It does not try to mimic others. Learn your song. Be found singing what has been given to you. It identifies you as mine. Yes, listen and follow after me. There you will find the inner satisfaction.

One man was there who had been sick for 38 years. When Jesus saw him lying there and knew he had already been there a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to get well? ” “Sir,” the sick man answered, “I don’t have a man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I’m coming, someone goes down ahead of me.” “Get up,” Jesus told him, “pick up your mat and walk! ” Instantly the man got well, picked up his mat, and started to walk. Now that day was the Sabbath, ‭‭John‬ ‭5‬:‭5‬-‭9‬ ‭HCSB ‬‬

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding; think about Him in all your ways, and He will guide you on the right paths. Don’t consider yourself to be wise; fear the Lord and turn away from evil. ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭5‬-‭7‬ ‭HCSB‬‬ Trust me in your daily walk. Recognize my leading you away from the familiar and into what I have prepared for you. Put away the fears. With me there is no failure. I am there with you. Open your eyes to the new opportunities and responsibilities.

So Samuel told him everything and did not hide anything from him. Eli responded, “He is the Lord. He will do what He thinks is good.” Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and He fulfilled everything Samuel prophesied. All Israel from Dan to Beer-sheba knew that Samuel was a confirmed prophet of the Lord. The Lord continued to appear in Shiloh, because there He revealed Himself to Samuel by His word. ‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭3‬:‭18‬-‭21‬ ‭HCSB‬‬ I am with you each day. Whether you realize it or not I am there to guide you. Listen for my voice. Allow me to speak healing into you and your situations. Draw closer. Learn my names. Call upon me, expecting I will answer you.

Peter said to her, “How is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.” At once she fell down at his feet and died. Upon entering, the young men found her dead and carried her out and buried her beside her husband. Great fear came on the entire church and on all those who heard these things. ‭‭Acts‬ ‭5‬:‭9‬-‭11‬ ‭MEV‬‬ It is time to make the corrections. Listen for my guidance. I will give you the directions for you to make. They will keep you on the right track you should be going. Don't follow others. Walk with me.

Jesus said to her, Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water that I shall give him will become in him a well of water springing up into eternal life. ‭‭John‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭MEV‬‬ I am yet the savior of the world. My words of truth release healing. Forgiveness is available to those who ask rightly. Draw near to me. Drink from my well. Allow my healing to flow through you.

You yourselves are my witnesses that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent ahead of Him.’ He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. So this joy of mine has been made full. He must increase, but I must decrease.” ‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭28‬-‭30‬ ‭NASB1995 What do you hear as you sit beneath the shadows? What might you expect to hear or to experience? Look for me, as I am there with my guidance. Do not sense my correction as punishment. It is my love.

The sheep that are My own hear and are listening to My voice; and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never lose it or perish throughout the ages. [To all eternity they shall never by any means be destroyed.] And no one is able to snatch them out of My hand. ‭‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭27‬-‭28‬ ‭AMPC‬‬ It's time to listen for me. Take the time away from your usual activity and listen. Hear the breeze as it moves through the tree branches. They respond by going the direction of my voice. You too can go with me. Do not be frightened, but walk with me. Go where I will show you.

Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NIV Don't be in a rush, but take time to stop and look/listen for me. Allow my correction to keep you on the right pathway. I will show you things you've not yet seen. My love will overflow you. Fill yourself with my written word. Don't rush through it. Allow it's stories and truth to show my way.

Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭24‬-‭25‬ ‭NIV Don't be rushed ahead or be delayed by what you see. Listen for me. I will direct you. I will show you when it is time to move forward. I am what you need. I am the way to life. Put your trust in me.
