the FireCarrier

Call to me and I will answer you. I’ll tell you marvelous and wondrous things that you could never figure out on your own. Jeremiah 33: 3

Sometimes we receive from God what we think we want to see/have. He’s guided us in a particular direction, so we feel obligated to move quickly. We can move prematurely so that the dream is snuffed out. It’s not that it was not God’s plan, but did we ask, is this the right timing?  We see that in the natural, prematurity often brings weakness and failure to become what was envisioned. Slow down and receive the fullness of what He has for you; allow Him to share specificity So note while they are similar they are different: 01/25 is not the same as 1:25. Slow down and receive the fullness There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven.  Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NASB)

Let the prophet who has a dream recount the dream, but let the one who has my word speak it faithfully. For what has straw to do with grain?” declares the Lord. “Is not my word like fire,” declares the Lord, “and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces? Jeremiah 23:28-29 (NIV)   Seek what I have for you to share with others. Do not withhold what you receive else it dry up and you become stale.

For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD gives grace and glory; No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly. Psalm 84:11 (NASB)

Hearing God is not as complex as we may think. He communicates to us in many ones to capture our attention. Sometimes I can acknowledge; but the goal is to draw closer to Him : to grow.

Fear not. I am about to reveal myself to you. I am wrapping my power around the plans for you to accomplish. You will move across fences of hatred and fear. The power of my truth will accomplish my will.

In my walk of the first day of the year. It was a 1977 quarter; Here is what I received. I am yet present - with you. Reach out to receive what I have for you. I was with you in the past, and will be with you into your future. I am not static, but am ever-moving and so are my plan with and for you. Expect big changes. I have multiplied my working in your life and will continue such. 

It time to you begin to clean up. Throw away the clutter of things from the past.  Push aside your failures and successes. Clean up: Make room for what  I have for you now.   And I will be your Father, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.   ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭6:18‬ (‭NLT‬‬)

Earlier this week I heard Father-God say 12/12 would be a day/time of multiplication. I was awakened early Wednesday morning. The room was filled with a wonderful aroma. 

In each of my prayer walks I expect to receive something from Father-God. This morning was no different.  As we were in the last portion of the walk I could hear the whistle of an approaching north-bound train.  We walked quicker in our direction so we might visualize this train that would pass by. We reach a vantage point where I could see the approaching train.   I was surprised when I saw it was powered by by bright orange engines. Directly behind them were sever car which appeared to be those which may be carrying an oil type of load.   Traveling back home, I was my eyes were draw to the signs displaying $2.29. Revelation 2:29 reminds me that I am to listen to what the Spirit is saying. Deuteronomy 2:29 reminds us that we will have particular ancient enemies harassing us, until we pass over to the land the LORD is giving us.   In examining the “orange” which caught my eyes, one place has the “Orange: fire, proven i...

Walking backwards we see clearly where we have been. But, continue walking when we look ahead we arrive at out future destination late and unprepared.

“But you, O Lord, are a shield around me; you are my glory, the one who holds my head high.”  ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭3:3‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

And I will be your Father, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.   ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭6:18‬ (‭NLT‬‬)

Have you ever wondered if God hears you, or even better, if you hear from Him.  Consider this scenario from my morning God-walk this morning. In my morning walk today, I noticed a train sitting on the track. It was not such an unusual site.  It was a pleasant morning for a walk and prayer. I had just asked God about my life direction when I heard the blast of the whistle of an on-coming train. I heard myself say, “Train, train.” "What??" I asked.  Looking back over the times of my life, He has provided many times of growth and training for me.  I heard myself asking, "Am I getting new training or giving training?"  In a few moments, I heard the groan of the stationary train as it began to awaken and slowly continue it's southbound journey. As we, my dog and self, continued walking I a saw a white "Crystal Water" truck enter onto the road-path we were walking.  It was unusual to have any type such vehicles com...

But from there you will search again for the Lord your God. And if you search for him with all your heart and soul, you will find him. Deuteronomy 4:29 (NLT)

In an evening neighborhood walk I saw many lights of varying brightness and colors. “What is that” I thought as I saw a garage with a flashing white strobe. What does that mean?   We are to be like him.  Jesus calls himself the the light of the world ( John 8:12). He is to be our example. In Matthew 5:14 He tells us we are the light of the world.   We "see" all sorts of lights; sunlight, traffic lights, taillights, flashing police lights.. In our daily walk, we are expected to learn what they represent, or face the consequences. In fact, science now tells us that all matter is made of light.   Do we take the time to see what Jesus means? What is He trying to communicate with you?  Have you learned to yield and to advance? Are you learning to be a light to the world around you?

“Let love be your highest goal! But you should also desire the special abilities the Spirit gives—especially the ability to prophesy.” 1 Corinthians 14:1 (NLT)

Do not be discouraged. I am calling you, my people: Do not give up. I am calling you to stand upright and draw closer to me. Rely upon me for all things and in all situations. Stand secure beneath my covering.

The fire on the altar must be kept burning; it must not go out. Leviticus 6:12a (NIV) Father - Help me to be emptied of my self-wishes, that I can become more as you see the future-Steve. Too many times I am looking at my past and not where your eyes are guiding me.

“This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”” ‭‭Joshua‬ ‭1:9‬ (‭NLT‬‬)
