the FireCarrier

Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” There was plenty of grass in that place, and they sat down (about five thousand men were there). Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish. When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.” So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten. ‭‭John‬ ‭6‬:‭10‬-‭13‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Carefully read your mail. Open up and allow the message to find it's target. There is something special for you to receive and to share with another. Grow closer to me by doing what I have set for you. Walk in my power.

Look about you as you read this. What is it you think you may see? I will go with you. Like you, I can speak or keep quiet. I can guide you. Will you listen for me? Be patient. Learn to follow my leading and allow my blessing to be your provision and joy.

Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus. He called out to them, “Friends, haven’t you any fish?” “No,” they answered. He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.” ‭‭John‬ ‭21‬:‭4‬-‭6‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) It is me. Recognize when I call out to you. I will direct the way for you to be going. Close your eyes to what the world wishes to shove at you. I have shown you the way. Walk secure and boldly in my love. You too can help bring in the haul .

Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb  first, also went inside. He saw and believed. (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.) Then  the disciples went back to where they were staying. ‭‭John‬ ‭20‬:‭6‬-‭10‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) I am alive and remain unchanged. Come sit with me. Allow my healing to flow over and through you. Allow my wisdom to guide and direct you in the way you should walk. I am your example. Grow, share and reflect me to others.

Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created. ‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭16‬-‭18‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Look ahead and past what your eyes tell you what you may see. Ask me and receive what you need. Ask me in belief. I will continue to be with you in your journey. Share me. Allow others to see me through your actions.

Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.” ‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭16‬-‭18‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Return. Come back to that meeting spot and be refreshed in me. I will wash away the dirt and missteps. I will anoint you with my refreshing oil. Listen for me. I will reveal myself to you. My love will cover you in peace.

Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?” “Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “I am he,” Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground. Again he asked them, “Who is it you want?” “Jesus of Nazareth,” they said. Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go.” This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: “I have not lost one of those you gave me.” ‭‭John‬ ‭18‬:‭4‬-‭9‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Are you listening for me? It is important for you to recognize my voice of direction. Know the call I have placed on your life. Don't compare yourself with others. But be washed and made whole in me.

After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began. ‭‭John‬ ‭17‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Wherever you may travel, on course or off-track I am there. I am watching over you in your journey. Listen, and you will hear my sharing my heart. I will provide what is needed tomorrow as I have before, even before you begin.

I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in him. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭40‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) All creation has its unique sound. Learn yours. Let it be heard. Do not be fearful nor timid. Let your sound be heard. Sing it aloud to me.

I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. ‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭(NIV)‬‬ Become like the wren which sings it's own song. Become whom you were born to be. Put aside jealousy of what you may observe in others. Find and feel secure what I have placed within you. Bear my fruit. Reflect my way for others.

Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” ‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭5‬-‭7‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) Do not rush through your day, but take The time and look about you. See the people in their journey of life. Listen to the sounds of nature. It too speaks to you. Let's talk. Take time this day to seek me. listen for me to answer and I will speak with you.

Don't be stuck in looking back in a rear-view mirror, seeing how things were. The past has passed. Those memories reflect imperfectly. Look forward. See clearly with me and the way I will show you. Walk in my perfect way. When you stumble, learn the lesson needed. Become whom you are meant to be. You are my creation.

Now before the Passover Feast, Jesus knew that His hour had come to depart from this world to the Father. Having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. Now supper being concluded, the devil had put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Him. Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands and that He came from God and was going to God, rose from supper, laid aside His garments, and took a towel and wrapped Himself. After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel with which He was wrapped. ‭‭John‬ ‭13‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭(MEV)

One man was there who had been sick for 38 years. When Jesus saw him lying there and knew he had already been there a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to get well? ” “Sir,” the sick man answered, “I don’t have a man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I’m coming, someone goes down ahead of me.” “Get up,” Jesus told him, “pick up your mat and walk! ” Instantly the man got well, picked up his mat, and started to walk. Now that day was the Sabbath, ‭‭John‬ ‭5‬:‭5‬-‭9‬ ‭(HCSB‬‬) Don't be distracted by the accusations of the enemy. Nor should you hear the compliments and encouraging he would place before you. I have redeemed you. I have washed you and given you a purpose within my family. Learn who you are in me.

Open the gates of righteousness for me; I will enter through them and give thanks to the Lord. This is the gate of the Lord; the righteous will enter through it. I will give thanks to You because You have answered me and have become my salvation. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭118‬:‭19‬-‭21‬ ‭(HCSB‬‬) Yes, I am with you. My protection is about you. What does my written word say to you? Are you believing what it says? Follow the example I shown you. Walk in love. Cast aside the fear the enemy would plant to cause you to stumble.

I called to the Lord in distress; the Lord answered me and put me in a spacious place. The Lord is for me; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? The Lord is my helper, Therefore, I will look in triumph on those who hate me. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in nobles. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭118‬:‭5‬-‭9‬ (‭HCSB) Let go. Release the ideas and things which keep you back. Walk in the fullness I have implanted within you. Walk forward with me. Let go of the lies the enemy has planted in your pathway. Grow in the fullness I see within you.

Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.” ‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭12‬ ‭(NASB) Don't rush but sit and listen to the rainfall. It washes whatever it falls upon. My presence can wash and revive you. Look for me. You can find me and my ways. Sit in my presence and be cleaned. Allow me to wash away the sin and the confusion the enemy would keep over you. I am the light and life. Be with me.

And Elijah went up by a whirlwind to heaven. Elisha saw it and cried out, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!” And he saw Elijah no more. Then he took hold of his own clothes and tore them in two pieces. He also took up the mantle of Elijah that fell from him and returned and stood by the bank of the Jordan. He took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him and struck the waters and said, “Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah?” And when he also had struck the waters, they were divided here and there; and Elisha crossed over. ‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭2‬:‭11b ‬-‭14‬ (‭NASB1995) Whether you see me or not, I am with you in every part of your day, through every step in your life. I am there. I will supply all which you need. Trust in me. Put aside your frustration and walk upon the waters. Step forward in faith. Learn to come across the waters.

Now fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite them at a distance, while the two of them stood by the Jordan. Elijah took his mantle and folded it together and struck the waters, and they were divided here and there, so that the two of them crossed over on dry ground. When they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken from you.” And Elisha said, “Please, let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.” ‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭2‬:‭7‬-‭9‬ ‭(NASB) Yes. I am yet the good shepherd. I care for you and guide you in the pathways you should go. Learn to follow me. Recognize my leading and directions. My Spirit will continue to guide you.

Now as Jesus was passing by, he saw a man who had been blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who committed the sin that caused him to be born blind, this man or his parents?” Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but he was born blind so that the acts of God may be revealed through what happens to him. We must perform the deeds of the one who sent me as long as it is daytime. Night is coming when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” Having said this, he spat on the ground and made some mud with the saliva. He smeared the mud on the blind man’s eyes and said to him, “Go wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated “sent”). So the blind man went away and washed, and came back seeing.” ‭‭John‬ ‭9‬:‭1‬-‭7‬ ‭(NET‬‬) I am your strength. I am your shelter. Yes, I am all which you need. Allow me to guide you in the journey. Learn to walk secure with me. Don't be surprised nor discouraged by the enemy sets for you....
