the FireCarrier

Awaken. Become aware of my voice calling to you. Breathe deeply of the fragrance of my love. Draw closer to me and find what you need. The price has been paid, so draw nearer and awaken to me. Now it’s time to be made new by every revelation that’s been given to you. And to be transformed as you embrace the glorious Christ-within as your new life and live in union with him! For God has re-created you all over  again in his perfect righteousness, and you now belong to him  in the realm of true holiness. ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4:23-24‬ ‭(TPT‬‬)

I hear your prayers. I love and provide for those who are mine. Reach out and share what I have given you. This is your opportunity to grow further in me. There is nothing you can do on your own, just trust in what I tell you. It may be in a night dream or in a passing thought. I will come to you.

And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me— everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you. ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:8-9‬ ‭(NLT)‬‬

Feed upon my word. I will never leave you. Pause in the midst of your weary day. I am here. Do not hurry about. I am revealing my ways.

One who dwells in the shelter of the Most High  will lodge 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 rescues you from the net of the trapper And from the deadly plague. He will cover you with His pinions, And under His wings you may take refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and wall. You will not be afraid of the terror by night, Or of the arrow that flies by day; Of the plague that stalks in darkness, Or of the destruction that devastates at noon. A thousand may fall at your side And ten thousand at your right hand, But it shall not approach you. You will only look on with your eyes And see the retaliation against the wicked. For you have made the LORD, my refuge, The Most High, your dwelling place. No evil will happen to you, Nor will any plague come near your tent. For He will give His angels orders concerning you,  To protect you in all your ways. On their hands they will lift you up,...

I have not changed. I am ever-disclosing myself to those who seek me. Draw closer and allow me to show you the love I have for you.

Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. James 1:17 (NASB2020) For God speaks again and again, though people do not recognize it. He speaks in dreams, in visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on people as they lie in their beds. ‭‭Job‬ ‭33:14-15‬ ‭(NLT) Awaken to what I have been speaking to you. I have been leaving trails for you to follow after. I have been whispering into your heart my thoughts. Awaken and stand up. Come to where I AM. Do not listen to the enemy, but allow my words to bring healing and direction. I know the way. I have much more available to you, if you seek me.  

The answer is “yes”. Move forward in what I have shown you. Do not be frightened, but walk where I have already shown you.

Shepherds were in the fields near Bethlehem. They were taking turns watching their flock during the night. An angel from the Lord suddenly appeared to them. The glory of the Lord filled the area with light, and they were terrified. The angel said to them, "Don't be afraid! I have good news for you, a message that will fill everyone with joy. Today your Savior, Christ the Lord, was born in David's city. This is how you will recognize him: “You will find an infant wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in a manger." Suddenly, a large army of angels appeared with the angel. They were praising God by saying, "Glory to God in the highest heaven,  and on earth peace to those who have his good will” Luke 2: 8-14 (GW) Some things remain unchanged. We need Him. We often need direction to be moving the right direction. We often need the clues to help us recognize Him. But it remains true, we should not be afraid in our trek of  finding and identifying Him. He yet awaits us o...

Park where I show you. Stay put and learn from me. You have your strengths in me, differing from others, as you need what they carry. Do not become lazy, but ready to move again when I show you.

For the Lord will pass through the land to strike down the Egyptians. But when he sees the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe, the Lord will pass over your home. He will not permit his death angel to enter your house and strike you down. ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭12:23‬ ‭(NLT)‬‬ I thank you for your continued protection. May your Good News again be her Good News.

And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Philippians 4:8 (NLT) Take control of what I say, O Lord, and guard my lips. Don’t let me drift toward evil or take part in acts of wickedness. Don’t let me share in the delicacies of those who do wrong. Let the godly strike me! It will be a kindness! If they correct me, it is soothing medicine. Don’t let me refuse it. But I pray constantly against the wicked and their deeds. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭141:3-5‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Draw me closer to you. Help me to recognize your ways and the pathway you created for me. Help me to speak your living word in your timing. Help me to see what you show me in my waking hours and in my sleep.

O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do. You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord. You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand! I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence! If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there. If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me. I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night— but even in darkness I cannot hide from you. To you the night shines as bright as day. Darkness and light are the same to you. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭139:1-12‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. ‭‭John‬ ‭1:1-5‬ (‭NLT) Watch where you go. Be alert and filled with my love. Reflect my love to the situation. Walk with me and become I what I see within you .

He came into the very world he created, but the world didn’t recognize him. He came to his own people, and even they rejected him. But to all who believed him and accepted him,  he gave the right to become children of God. They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God. So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son. ‭‭John‬ ‭1:10-14‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

Are you looking for a word from me? Why not begin with what have already told you? Why not wade through my Written word and learn my ways and lavish love for you? See how I express myself. Are you looking for me; begin by looking to me. I am there with you, leading you to the pathway. I am that light which illuminates the vast darkness of the world. I am yet the way, the truth and the light. Be secure in me and my word and I will expand your way. I will be that word which you are seeking.

Look at my Servant, whom I have chosen. He is my Beloved, who pleases me. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the nations. He will not fight or shout or raise his voice in public. He will not crush the weakest reed or put out a flickering candle. Finally he will cause justice to be victorious. And his name will be the hope of all the world. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭12:18-21‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Forgive my attitude and negligence. Help me to be more like you.

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) Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand. Isaiah 41:10 (NLT) Seek after me and see if I do not answer you. Do not be discouraged. My love for you is never-changing. I have provided and am yet providing.

Listen for me, as I am speaking to you. Quiet yourself and allow me to speak directly into your life. Follow the road I show you. It will become clearer, but the pathway is steep. Allow my voice to lead you from the fog and into the light.

Father, I thank you for all you do for me. You protect from the activity and plans of the evil one. You keep me safe from myself and selfish ways. Thank you for your guidance, and ask for your everlasting peace, that knowing you are near and care for me .
