I have determined that you should succeed. In my ways you are secure. Seek my truth. Learn to know me and my ways. Trust in what I shall show you. My kingdom is at hand. Within you lies all the power and authority to accomplish what I shall declare. You have seen my ways in the past. You have observed my power and compassion. Possess the land I place before you. Let your strength be found in me. Do not be enticed by the success or the spoils of the land. Allow my words guide your every action. Become a model for those learning who I am. You will be victorious through me.

And great multitudes were gathered together to Him, so that He got into a boat and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore. Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying: "Behold, a sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them. Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth. But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked them. But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!" Matthew 13:2-9 (NKJV) The winter is ending. Your time of dryness will quickly be in the past, yet take care what you do in these coming days. Keep your eyes upon me as you move out. Be diligent with your time. You will be known by the fruit you bear, no...

What is it you offer to others, those who are spiritually dry or in bondage? Are your words (spoken or implied) filled with life or venom? Moses and Aaron went from the assembly to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and fell facedown, and the glory of the LORD appeared to them. The LORD said to Moses, "Take the staff, and you and your brother Aaron gather the assembly together. Speak to that rock before their eyes and it will pour out its water. You will bring water out of the rock for the community so they and their livestock can drink." So Moses took the staff from the LORD's presence, just as he commanded him. He and Aaron gathered the assembly together in front of the rock and Moses said to them, "Listen, you rebels, must we bring you water out of this rock?" Then Moses raised his arm and struck the rock twice with his staff. Water gushed out, and the community and their livestock drank. Numbers 20:6-11 (NIV) On the last and greatest day of the Feast...

Ever come to a cross road in your life and want for direction? Consider what has been written in the Bible and making some application. Here are some simple observations I have made from three brothers in the verses below. We should face the son. Praise (Judah) should always go first. We should be tempered with (Issachar) an understanding of the times and what to do. We should have God at the center of our dwelling and habitation (Zebulun). We should not be alone, but camp and work with those of like company. We can expect God to speak to us. We should be a safe place for others to come. We can expect to be numbered as his people. We can expect blessings as his people. The Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron: “Every one of the Israelites must camp under his standard with the emblems of his family; they must camp at some distance around the tent of meeting. The Tribes on the East “Now those who will be camping on the east, toward the sunrise, are the divisions of the camp of Judah under th...

When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then go out to battle; for God has gone out before you to strike down the army of the Philistines." 1 Chronicles 14:15 (NRSV) Move forward according to my voice. March forth. Do not react according to your natural sight, but upon my urging and direction. I will direct your pathway for success. With me you shall prosper. Do not hesitate. March forth into victory over my enemies. I shall bring you the victory. Learn to trust again in me. My Spirit will wash over you and strengthen you. I will blanket you in peace. I will set the prisoners free. I will restore hope. As a shield I will protect you.

I am with you now and forever. You are my creation. Seek me, so I may reveal more of myself to you. Continue to seek me for what you are in need of. In all your ways, in all things you do, say and think: Acknowledge me. Oh, that the all the world would know my voice and my heart. Know with all your heart, without doubt, that I love you. Do not be satisfied with a crumb of what I can provide; Have the whole loaf. Take and eat. Be fulfilled. I have much more for those I can trust. Invite me into your life. Share with me your heart. Bring me your sorrows and dreams. Learn to know me. Become my living tabernacle, that I may ever-fill you.

and said to him, ‘Do you hear what they are saying?' Jesus answered, ‘Yes. Have you never read this: By the mouths of children, babes in arms, you have made sure of praise?' Matthew 21:16 (NJB) I was in the church parking lot this morning, walking toward the building. I heard someone call to me. I looked about, but no one was there. Shortly later I entered the prayer room. As I was sitting down, I saw a streak of white light move past me. I recognized that as the motion of spiritual activity. I asked God, what is occurring when I sensed him to say. For those of you who hear my voice: Continue to listen. Ask e what I am saying. Ask me for revelation, not leaning on yourself or what has been before. For those who have been given new sight: I will be showing you more. Signs will be explained to those humble enough to ask. My spirit is moving. I am going before you. I, myself, have called you out. The word of Yahweh came to me, asking, ‘Jeremiah, what do you see?' I answere...

"Listen to me, O house of Jacob, all you who remain of the house of Israel, you whom I have upheld since you were conceived, and have carried since your birth. Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you. Isaiah 46:3-4 (NIV) I will sustain you. In me you will prosper. Through Joseph there was protection and food in Egypt when all about was famine. Each morning there was fresh manna provided in the wilderness, enough to sustain the nation. Each day I sent the raven to feed Elijah while at the brook Cherith. I am Elohay Elohim, the God above all other Gods, yet I am tender and care for those who are mine. I am your provider and protector. Seek after me. In all your ways follow after my precepts. As I fed others in your past, so I will sustain and feed you. Partake of the bread of life. I am El Shaddi your provider. I will sustain you though the enemy would come against you...

So Ananias departed and entered the house, placed his hands on Saul and said, "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came here, has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit." Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized, and after taking some food, his strength came back. For several days he was with the disciples in Damascus, and immediately he began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, saying, "This man is the Son of God." Acts 9:17-20 (NET) I heard his voice speak. I am opening eyes. Scales will fall away enabling acute spiritual vision. Saul’s will be prayed for and receive their sight. Eyes will focus upon my word and receive direction. I am anointing a new generation of seers, those that will move into new regions of authority. They will not question in their mind what they see. They will be pushing through into new territory. They will fly...

I sat in front of my computer this morning (Sunday 12/30/07) as is often my custom. I was dressed for church, but unaware of how soon it was for me to leave. I was listening for God and answering some email. I had asked for a word for the church, but did not sense receiving anything. I gathered my things and went to the car. As I was backing out of the driveway I saw it was later than I had expected. It was 10:15. That would get me to church just about in time for the 10:30 start. As I pulled into the church parking lot I again looked at the clock. I looked again because I saw was only 10:21. The full trip had taken but 6 minutes. That certainly caught my attention. Wow God. Had I been transported or had some sort of supernatural travel? Walking to the church building I felt He must have wanted me there “earlier” for some reason. Knowing his way to speak scripture to me in terms of number and time, I opened my Bible to Matthew 10:21 to see if did speak to me. As I read it, I thoug...

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:16-19 (NIV) Do you know who I am? I am who I say I am, never-changing. I am the totality of my names. Do not be angry or take offense by what I say, but look at your excuses. Are you filled with me or with self? The remedy is simple; turn and repent. I will do what I have said I will do. You are my child, a son of mine. With my names you will prosper. All that is within me is available to you. I was, will and am yet now soverign. Walk within what I have for you. Don't limit me. Speak forth the living word. Allow my power to ...

The Lord God put the man in the garden of Eden to care for it and work it. The Lord God commanded him, "You may eat the fruit from any tree in the garden, but you must not eat the fruit from the tree which gives the knowledge of good and evil. If you ever eat fruit from that tree, you will die!" Genesis 2:15-17 (NCV) I am the tree of life. Spread your inadequacy before me. Acknowledge your need. Stand firm. Declare my word of truth. I am shaking that which needs to be removed. My Spirit is blowing through my people. Do not resist lest you be broken holding onto that which is straw and stubble. I am cleansing those who are mine. I am sending for my rain; washing away complacency. Come to me. Be washed in the blood of my son. I am calling you into new life, a life where fear has no part. My standard is love. There is no room for retribution and payback. Sustain yourself in me. Grow in holiness. Stand firm upon the rock. My love dispels fear. I am the LORD God, your creator and...

Wrap yourself in me. Allow me to embrace you, to place my arms of protection about you. Be ever-near to me. Have a righteous hunger to come closer. Do not resist, but embrace my working within you. Come into the holy of holies. You are my light. Shine where you are. Feed on the bread of presence. Allow me to anoint you. There are presents yet to be opened; gifts yet to be revealed: Ask of me.

And the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush; and he looked, and lo, the bush was burning, yet it was not consumed. And Moses said, "I will turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt." When the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, "Moses, Moses!" And he said, "Here am I." Exodus 3:2-4 (RSV) Have you given up? Are you tired of doing things your way? Give in.Come, rest in me. Allow me to dry your tears. All that is mine is available to you. You belong to me, so draw nearer. Turn aside. Now is the time. Find that I am who I say I am. Let me guide youthrough this time. I am what you are seeking. Turn from your familiar waysand methods. Learn how to rely upon my supernatural abundance. I will speak you and you will recognize me. I will supply what is needed.Turn aside and find my reality. I will show you new ways.I am the light that burns true. Walk in the pathway...

She said, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" And he awoke from his sleep and said, "I will go out as at other times and shake myself free.” But he did not know that the LORD had departed from him. Judges 16:20 (NASB95) Not all visitations are apparent. We need take care in our judgments and examine with the eyes and heart of the father. Sampson was a deliver. Even his birth was foretold as the Angel-of-the-Lord had interaction with his mother. When his father sought God for guidance The Angel-of-the-Lord returned. He asked, “Please let the man of God whom You have sent come to us again that he may teach us what to do for the boy who is to be born.” Samson was born and raised in the ways of God. His parents rightly raised him in the direction and fear of God. Even so, as individuals we have personal responsibility. We live by our own thoughts and decisions. Are we found sleeping with the enemy? Do we allow our head to be found in the lap of the enemy? Even into his l...

I, the teacher, am calling to you. Listen for me, that I might direct you. Recognize my voice and respond. I am pointing you to Jesus. Trust in me and not the circumstances. I will expose the lies of the deceiver.

Then the disciples came to him and said, "Why do you speak to them in parables?" He replied, "You have been given the opportunity to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but they have not. For whoever has will be given more, and will have an abundance. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. For this reason I speak to them in parables--that although they see they do not see and although they hear they do not hear nor do they understand. Matthew 13:10-13 (NET) I have heard you ask for more of me, to receive and bring healing to others. I hear you ask for more of my ways, for my presence to be tangible. You say you want to walk in my miraculous ways. It is good. It is my wish for my people to walk in my kingdom ways. Continue asking for want I want. Never slack from seeking my ways and promises. Knock continuously that the doors of my kingdom may be opened. Yes, be steadfast. Live righteous lives, forgoing self. Allow me to supply the oppo...

Receive the revelation of my son and his overwhelming love for you. Embrace his acceptance. His love is ever-lasting. It is right to give him worship. I ask you, What are you beholding? Are your rooms and bookshelves too full? Are they crowded with stuff? What about your closets and garages? Is the space limited because of overflow; a constant collection of stuff? Seek me. Spend time with me. Allow my righteousness to penetrate your hardening life style. Allow my spirit to penetrate into the seep spaces and release healing. Allow the oil of my presence to soothe and cure that spiritual dryness. I am the light. As my light penetrates, a new layer of revelation bursts forth into life. Seek me. Seek first my kingdom and the right stuff will be added to you. The cares and worries of today will drop away. A new wardrobe of righteousness will cover you. You will learn to eat at my table and be full. The striving of inner emptiness will be filled with my supernatural reality. My son’s lov...

On this day of national thanksgiving, we need remember to offer our personal and proper thanksgiving. Be blessed. "And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings that one may offer to the Lord. 12 If he offers it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the thanksgiving sacrifice unleavened loaves mixed with oil, unleavened wafers smeared with oil, and loaves of fine flour well mixed with oil. 13 With the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving he shall bring his offering with loaves of leavened bread. 14 And from it he shall offer one loaf from each offering, as a gift to the Lord. It shall belong to the priest who throws the blood of the peace offerings. Leviticus 7:11-14 (ESV) The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me; to one who orders his way rightly I will show the salvation of God!" Psalms 50:23 (ESV) Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise! Psalms 95:2 (ESV) ...

I am with you, active in your life. Circumstances are arranged to strengthen your character and dependence upon me. Take heart. Do not be discouraged. My written word tells you I am unchanged. My Word is truth and in it is life and abundance. Walk out your life in the light of my word.
