  Do not become distracted, but keep your focus upon me. The further away you are from an object, the more difficult it is to focus upon it. Other objects can obscure the vision. You may find yourself steadfastly viewing  them and lose the focus you need to survive. Don't distance yourself, but draw closer. But for us, There is one God, the Father, by whom all things were created, and for whom we live. And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things were created, and through whom we live. 1 Corinthians 8:6 (NLT)

This is the account of the creation of the heavens and the earth. When the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, neither wild plants nor grains were growing on the earth. For the Lord God had not yet sent rain to water the earth, and there were no people to cultivate the soil. Instead, springs came up from the ground and watered all the land. Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person. Then the Lord God planted a garden in Eden in the east, and there he placed the man he had made. The Lord God made all sorts of trees grow up from the ground— trees that were beautiful and that produced delicious fruit. In the middle of the garden he placed the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The Lord God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it. But the Lord God warned him, “You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden— except th...

I am the light. Without me you walk in darkness. Caught in the enemies’ web of confusion lies death. I am the hope which brings life. I am the ultimate sacrifice, displayed for the world, and yet resurrected. Come into my light and find who you are, accepted and forgiven.

For I am the Lord your God, who stirs up the sea, causing its waves to roar. My name is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. And I have put my words in your mouth and hidden you safely in my hand. I stretched out the sky like a canopy and laid the foundations of the earth. I am the one who says to Israel, ‘You are my people!’ ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭51:15-16‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) So pay attention to how you hear. To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given. But for those who are not listening, even what they think they understand will be taken away from them. ‭‭Luke‬ ‭8:18‬ (‭NLT‬‬)

I am with you. Watch for what is changing around you. Be ready to step through. Fear not, I will guide your steps. Do not be discouraged, but rest in me. I am ever-present. I am ever-moving things which are yet unseen.

  “I am the Lord; that is my name! I will not give my glory to anyone else, nor share my praise with carved idols. Everything I prophesied has come true, and now I will prophesy again. I will tell you the future before it happens.” Isaiah 42:8-9 (NLT)   As Jesus and the disciples approached Jerusalem, they came to the town of Bethphage on the Mount of Olives. Jesus sent two of them on ahead. “Go into the village over there,” he said. “As soon as you enter it, you will see a donkey tied there, with its colt beside it. Untie them and bring them to me.   If anyone asks what you are doing, just say,  ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will immediately let you take them.” This took place to fulfill the prophecy that said,” Matthew 21:1-4 ( NLT )

Sing a new song to the Lord! Let the whole earth sing to the Lord! Sing to the Lord; praise his name. Each day proclaim the good news that he saves. Psalms 96:1-2 (NLT) Sing a new song to the Lord! Sing his praises from the ends of the earth! Sing, all you who sail the seas, all you who live in distant coastlands. Join in the chorus, you desert towns; let the villages of Kedar rejoice! Let the people of Sela sing for joy; shout praises from the mountaintops! Let the whole world glorify the Lord; let it sing his praise. Isaiah 42:10-12 (NLT)

Are you ready? I have more for you. Yes, I have more for those who are hungry. I have more for you to share with others. I am ready to stretch you and mold you into a new vessel. Are you prepared to carry more of me? Be filled and follow as my spirit leads. Be ready to follow my voice.

  Rise up, O God, and scatter your enemies. Let those who hate God run for their lives. Blow them away like smoke. Melt them like wax in a fire. Let the wicked perish in the presence of God. But let the godly rejoice. Let them be glad in God’s presence. Let them be filled with joy. Sing praises to God and to his name! Sing loud praises to him who rides the clouds. His name is the Lord — rejoice in his presence! Psalms 68:1-4 (NLT)

I will instruct and teach you about how you should live. I will advise you as I look you in the eye. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭32:8‬ ‭(NET)

Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place; and there was a large crowd of His disciples, and a great throng of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon, who had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were being cured. And all the people were trying to touch Him, for power was coming from Him and healing them all.  ‭‭Luke‬ ‭6:17-19‬ ‭(NASB1995‬‬)

It’s time for an adjustment in your thinking. I want you begin to realize my heart and my ways for you. Let me feed you with spiritual food. I have things to show you and places to take you. It is time for you to come into agreement with my heart for you. It is time for healing of wounds and ill feelings. Ask me and expect to find answers. Become more familiar with my living Word, allowing it to saturate with mind and heart. Now is the opportunity for adjusting yourself to the TRUTH.

Come! Listen, all you who are loyal to God! I will declare what he has done for me. I cried out to him for help and praised him with my tongue. If I had harbored sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. However, God heard; he listened to my prayer. God deserves praise, for he did not reject my prayer or abandon his love for me! Psalms 66:16-20 NET As the sun went down that evening, people throughout the village brought sick family members to Jesus. No matter what their diseases were, the touch of his hand healed every one. Many were possessed by demons; and the demons came out at his command, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” But because they knew he was the Messiah, he rebuked them and refused to let them speak. ‭‭Luke‬ ‭4:40-41‬ ‭NLT

One day as Jesus was preaching on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, great crowds pressed in on him to listen to the word of God. He noticed two empty boats at the water’s edge, for the fishermen had left them and were washing their nets. Stepping into one of the boats, Jesus asked Simon, its owner, to push it out into the water. So he sat in the boat and taught the crowds from there. When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Now go out where it is deeper, and let down your nets to catch some fish.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭5:1-4‬ (‭NLT)‬‬ It's time to let down your nets into the waters you frequent. Do not hesitate Or argue with reason, but be found doing that which is spoken into your heart.

In my walks with Father-God this past weekend I’d ask if there was any coins/change for me to find. Disappointedly I found none. This Monday morning on a walk I was rewarded with a new-looking penny. It was a 2021. I gratefully picked it up and said “thanks”. Look around you, for I am ever with you. Listen for me and I will tell you where to go. I will be there waiting to greet you. I will supply what you need.

My child, don’t lose sight of common sense and discernment. Hang on to them, ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3:21‬( NLT)‬‬ Then the LORD again appeared in Shiloh, for it was in Shiloh that the LORD had revealed himself to Samuel through the word of the LORD. ‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭3:21‬ ‭(NET‬‬) One day when the crowds were being baptized, Jesus himself was baptized. As he was praying, the heavens opened, and the Holy Spirit, in bodily form, descended on him like a dove. And a voice from heaven said, “You are my dearly loved Son, and you bring me great joy. ” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭3:21-22‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) Those who are victorious will sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat with my Father on his throne. ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3:21‬ ‭(NLT)  

Samuel continued to grow, and the LORD was with him. None of his prophecies fell to the ground unfulfilled. All Israel from Dan to Beer Sheba realized that Samuel was confirmed as a prophet of the LORD. Then the LORD again appeared in Shiloh, for it was in Shiloh that the LORD had revealed himself to Samuel through the word of the LORD. ‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭3:19-21‬ (‭NET‬‬) Samuel revealed the word of the LORD to all Israel. Then the Israelites went out to fight the Philistines. They camped at Ebenezer, and the Philistines camped at Aphek. ‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭4:1‬ (‭NET‬‬)

You are forgiven. My blood has sanctified you. It is time to stand up. Be seen for I have things for you to be doing. I will place my words in your heart and mind to be released. Be ready.

Awaken me Father. Help me to not only be listening for your voice of direction. Fill and renew me. Guide me in your Spirit. Help me to recognize your ways. Forgive my attitude and not representing your forgiveness. You are HOLY. And the Lord came and called as before, Samuel! Samuel! And Samuel replied, “Speak, your servant is listening. ‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭3:10‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) One day the Lord said to Moses, Climb one of the mountains east of the river, and look out over the land I have given the people of Israel. After you have seen it, you will die like your brother, Aaron, for you both rebelled against my instructions in the wilderness of Zin. When the people of Israel rebelled, you failed to demonstrate my holiness to them at the waters. (These are the waters of Meribah at Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.) ‭‭Numbers‬ ‭27:12-14‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

yet I will rejoice in the Lord! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation! The Sovereign Lord is my strength! He makes me as surefooted as a deer, able to tread upon the heights. (For the choir director: This prayer is to be accompanied by stringed instruments.) Habakkuk 3:18-19 (NLT) There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God’s one and only Son. John 3:18 (NLT) So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit— makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image. 2 Corinthians 3:18 (NLT)
