Come closer. There is no need to have fear. Allow my ways to bring what is needed. Allow me to shield you from the enemy. Put aside distraction and refresh yourself in me. Yes, come closer. I will provide what you do need. With me, there is no condemnation.

Step away from the internal commotion and focus upon my heart. Allow me to guide your thoughts. I will shield you from the arrows of the enemy. Be steady in me and I will guide you in what you should say. Hunger for more of me. Be washed in my Word. What you need is more of me.

I also withheld rain from you when the harvest was still three months away. I sent rain on one town, but withheld it from another. One field had rain; another had none and dried up. Amos 4:7 Listen for the sound of rain as it patters out its song on the dry leaves. Watch for its arrival. It comes amidst the peals of thunder. Don't be in fear, but be refreshed. Wash yourself. Be cleansed in my Word.

God does speak—sometimes one way and sometimes another— even though people may not understand it. He speaks in a dream or a vision of the night when people are in a deep sleep, lying on their beds. Job 33:14-15 (NCV)

At that time there was a strong earthquake. An angel of the Lord came down from heaven, went to the tomb, and rolled the stone away from the entrance. Then he sat on the stone. He was shining as bright as lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The soldiers guarding the tomb shook with fear because of the angel, and they became like dead men. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28:2-4‬ ‭(NCV‬‬) Allow me full entrance into your life. Let the clutter and excuses be removed and replaced with joy. Toss aside those old notions and walk in my light. Exercise your freedom. Set captives free. Let the light of life shine brightly. Ask me and I will show you.

The One whom God sent speaks the words of God, because God gives him the Spirit fully. ‭‭John‬ ‭3:34‬ ‭(NCV‬‬) Follow my leading. Learn of me and my ways. Speak truth in love, being an example of what I have shown you. Allow my light to shine through you.

I pray also that you will have greater understanding in your heart so you will know the hope to which he has called us and that you will know how rich and glorious are the blessings God has promised his holy people. And you will know that God’s power is very great for us who believe. That power is the same as the great strength God used to raise Christ from the dead and put him at his right side in the heavenly world. ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1:18-20‬ ‭(NCV‬‬) Know my Word and you will know my heart. Scratch below the surface and come closer. Take in the life-truth which it is written in. Learn the heart of my living word. Meditate upon it. Allow it to saturate your being. Contemplate it's truth. Ask for understanding so you may grow in fullness. Act upon what it says.  May your actions be a reflection of my heart.

  In Christ we are set free by the blood of his death, and so we have forgiveness of sins. How rich is God’s grace, which he has given to us so fully and freely. God, with full wisdom and understanding, let us know his secret purpose. This was what God wanted, and he planned to do it through Christ. Ephesians 1:7-9 (NCV)

The wind blows where it wants to and you hear the sound of it, but you don’t know where the wind comes from or where it is going. It is the same with every person who is born from the Spirit. ‭‭John‬ ‭3:8‬ (‭NCV‬‬) See the wind blow. I will Push aside the evil. I will fill you with my Spirit and purpose. You will walk securely with me.

So give yourselves completely to God. Stand against the devil, and the devil will run from you. Come near to God, and God will come near to you. You sinners, clean sin out of your lives. You who are trying to follow God and the world at the same time, make your thinking pure. ‭‭James‬ ‭4:7-8‬ ‭NCV‬‬ Draw closer. Be secure in me, my Word and my ways shall protect you. Don't allow the way of my enemy to bring fear. He is defeated. Draw nearer. There need be no fear. Allow the shadow of my wings to protect you. You are my creation. Do not become distracted by the enemy, But follow the way I shall show you. I have plans for you.

Ask, and God will give to you. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will open for you. Yes, everyone who asks will receive. Everyone who searches will find. And everyone who knocks will have the door opened. Matthew 7:7-8 (NCV) If you wish an answer you should ask of me. Do not hesitate to learn from me. Ask for direction and you shall receive it. Ask me to open my heart and I will show you. I will direct you to where you should be. Ask and receive what is needed, but act upon what I shall show you.

Be careful of false prophets. They come to you looking gentle like sheep, but they are really dangerous like wolves. You will know these people by what they do. Grapes don’t come from thornbushes, and figs don’t come from thorny weeds. In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a bad tree produces bad fruit. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot produce good fruit. Every tree that does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. In the same way, you will know these false prophets by what they do. Matthew 7:15-20 (NCV)

One day while Jesus was standing beside Lake Galilee, many people were pressing all around him to hear the word of God. Jesus saw two boats at the shore of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets. Jesus got into one of the boats, the one that belonged to Simon, and asked him to push off a little from the land. Then Jesus sat down and continued to teach the people from the boat. When Jesus had finished speaking, he said to Simon, Take the boat into deep water, and put your nets in the water to catch some fish. ‭‭Luke‬ ‭5:1-4‬ ‭NCV‬ Come closer. I am what you are searching for. Listen to my words. They contain the directions you are seeking. Within them are the secrets of life. Yes, come closer and listen to my words. Allow them to direct you. Allow them to fill you with hope. Hear my voice and respond to my teaching you. Allow me to reach out through you to others. Push out into the waters and become whom I already see.

The Lord was pleased with these sacrifices and said to himself, I will never again curse the ground because of human beings. Their thoughts are evil even when they are young, but I will never again destroy every living thing on the earth as I did this time. As long as the earth continues, planting and harvest, cold and hot, summer and winter, day and night will not stop. ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭8:21-22‬ ‭(NCV)‬‬

But if all of you are prophesying, and unbelievers or people who don’t understand these things come into your meeting, they will be convicted of sin and judged by what you say. As they listen, their secret thoughts will be exposed, and they will fall to their knees and worship God, declaring, God is truly here among you. ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭14:24-25‬ (‭NLT)‬‬

He asked me, “Have you been watching, son of man?” Then he led me back along the riverbank.” ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭47:6‬ ‭(NLT) Yes, I am talking to you. Show them my heart. It’s time to stand. It’s time for you to prophesy‬‬. Speak my heart. I will provide you the words to speak. Now prophesy what I shall show you.

Wherever you are, wherever you are going, I AM there. I’ve prepared the places and situations so you would grow fuller in my ways. Talk with me and expect me to answer you. Ponder upon what I show you. Let it sink in and grow.

I say this because I know what I am planning for you, says the Lord. I have good plans for you, not plans to hurt you. I will give you hope and a good future. Then you will call my name. You will come to me and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will search for me. And when you search for me with all your heart, you will find me! I will let you find me, says the Lord. Jeremiah‬ ‭29:11-14‬a ‭(NCV‬‬)

This day, encounter me. Become whom I’ve appointed you to be. Receive my ways and grow in my likeness. Reach out. I Am waiting here for you. Be changed into whom I already see.

By the seventh day God finished the work he had been doing, so he rested from all his work. God blessed the seventh day and made it a holy day, because on that day he rested from all the work he had done in creating the world. ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭2:2-3‬ ‭(NCV‬‬)
