the FireCarrier

Then he said to his servant, ‘Go up and look towards the sea.’ So he went up, looked, and said, ‘There’s nothing.’ Seven times Elijah said, ‘Go back.’ On the seventh time, he reported, ‘There’s a cloud as small as a man’s hand coming up from the sea.’ Then Elijah said, ‘Go and tell Ahab, “Get your chariot ready and go down so the rain doesn’t stop you.” ’ In a little while, the sky grew dark with clouds and wind, and there was a downpour. So Ahab got in his chariot and went to Jezreel.” ‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭18‬:‭43‬-‭45‬ ‭CSBA‬‬ Don't become angry nor despondent, but trust in me. My word is truth. I will supply what is needed. Stand firm in what I have told you. Open the door and walk through.

I have revealed your name to the people you gave me from the world. They were yours, you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. Now they know that everything you have given me is from you, because I have given them the words you gave me. They have received them and have known for certain that I came from you. They have believed that you sent me. ‭‭John‬ ‭17‬:‭6‬-‭8‬ ‭CSBA‬‬ Listen for me throughout your day. Hear me. Learn to identify my directing you and respond. I will show you ways to reach those I bring into your pathway. They too need to know me and sense my healing touch.

“But now I am going away to him who sent me, and not one of you asks me, “Where are you going? ” Yet, because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. Nevertheless, I am telling you the truth. It is for your benefit that I go away, because if I don’t go away the Counsellor will not come to you. If I go, I will send him to you. When he comes, he will convict the world about sin, righteousness, and judgement: ‭‭John‬ ‭16‬:‭5‬-‭8‬ ‭CSBA‬‬ Take shelter in me and the truth of my Word. Within it is life, Let it speak to you and fill you. Come to my altar. Let your offering of sacrifice be found there. My blood has paid the full price.

I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. Every branch in me that does not produce fruit he removes, and he prunes every branch that produces fruit so that it will produce more fruit. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, and I in you. Just as a branch is unable to produce fruit by itself unless it remains on the vine, neither can you unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in me and I in him produces much fruit, because you can do nothing without me. ‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭CSBA‬‬ As you listen to the sounds around you know that I am there also. My spirit is there to guide you and to protect you from your bad decisions. I am there. Remain in me and grow mature.

In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was already with God in the beginning. Everything came into existence through him. Not one thing that exists was made without him. He was the source of life, and that life was the light for humanity. The light shines in the dark, and the dark has never extinguished it. ‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭GW Reach out to me and receive the truth of my Word. Recognize me and the truth of my Spirit. Share my heart with others. Recognize me and my ways. I am with you. Put aside your distractions and begin to follow what I have for you to be doing.

Blessed are those whose lives have integrity, those who follow the teachings of the Lord. Blessed are those who obey his written instructions. They wholeheartedly search for him. They do nothing wrong. They follow his directions. You have commanded that your guiding principles be carefully followed. I pray that my ways may become firmly established so that I can obey your laws. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭GW As your day moves on, find time with me. Close your eyes and wait. Allow the noise of your day to pass bye. This is a day of rest. Find yourself wrapped in my wholeness. Peace comes come being with me.

So when He had washed their feet, and taken His garments and reclined at the table again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? You call Me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for so I am. If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one  another’s feet. For I gave you an example that  you also should do as I did to you.” ‭‭John‬ ‭13‬:‭12‬-‭15‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬ Do not become proud of your accomplishments, but follow my example. Find who you are in me and walk in the way I have for you. Learn to listen for my voice. I will direct you into the pathway to be going.

Jesus cried out, “He who believes in Me believes not only in Me, but in Him who sent Me. He who sees Me sees Him who sent Me. I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not remain in darkness. “If anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.” ‭‭John‬ ‭12‬:‭44‬-‭47‬ ‭MEV‬‬ Are you holding onto those things which you have already given to me? Release your grip and trust me. Allow my way to grow within you. Reach out and heal the sick.

Now the Lord was gracious to Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did for Sarah what he had promised. Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised him. Abraham gave the name Isaac to the son Sarah bore him. When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God commanded him. Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭21‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NIV Do not walk in fear of the enemy. Ask believing that I will answer you. I have given what you need. Use them to be doing what I show you in your daily walk. Fill your day with my written word. It will feed you and open the truth. Allow me to guide you in your journey.

Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.” Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.” ‭‭John‬ ‭11‬:‭23‬-‭27‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Don't become overwhelmed or confused by the activities of the enemy. Keep your focus upon me. Follow the way I have whispered to you. I am unchanged. Learn my names. Become familiar and dependent upon them in your time of need, and also in those good days. I am there with you. I am what you need.

Then I called on the name of Yahweh: “Yahweh, save me! ” The Lord is gracious and righteous; our God is compassionate. The Lord guards the inexperienced; I was helpless, and He saved me. Return to your rest, my soul, for the Lord has been good to you. For You, Lord, rescued me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling. I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭116‬:‭4‬-‭9‬ ‭HCSB‬‬ Do not be fearful nor be led by anger, but follow me. Receive my peace and wholeness. My word will guide you in the way you should go. Rest in the peace which only I can provide.

I tell you the solemn truth, the one who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber. The one who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. The doorkeeper opens the door for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought all his own sheep out, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they recognize his voice.” ‭‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭NET‬‬ Come and sit with me. Put aside your impatience and receive forgiveness. Look beyond today and into my forever love and guidance. Read my word. Pause and listen for it to speak to you. Do you hear me calling to you?

Not to us, O Lord, not to us! But to your name bring honor, for the sake of your loyal love and faithfulness. Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” Our God is in heaven! He does whatever he pleases! Their idols are made of silver and gold – they are man-made. They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see, ears, but cannot hear, noses, but cannot smell, hands, but cannot touch, feet, but cannot walk. They cannot even clear their throats. Those who make them will end up like them, as will everyone who trusts in them. O Israel, trust in the Lord! He is their deliverer and protector. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭115‬:‭1‬-‭9‬ ‭NET‬‬

I have a lot more to tell you, but that would be too much for you now. When the Spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into the full truth. He won’t speak on his own. He will speak what he hears and will tell you about things to come. He will give me glory, because he will tell you what I say. Everything the Father says is also what I say. That is why I said, ‘He will take what I say and tell it to you.’” ‭‭John‬ ‭16‬:‭12‬-‭15‬ ‭GW‬‬ Wash yourself. Be found reading my word. It is truth. My Spirit will guide you in the way for you to walk. Listen for me. It will come clearly to you. I will continue to guide you in your journey.

Jesus answered, “I’m not possessed. I honor my Father, but you dishonor me. I don’t want my own glory. But there is someone who wants it, and he is the judge. I can guarantee this truth: Whoever obeys what I say will never see death.” ‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭49‬-‭51‬ ‭GW‬‬ Don't be fearful, but call upon my name. Find yourself reading my Word. Allow it's truth to guide you. I am the way you need to rely upon. I am life. I remain the way you should be seeking. Follow me. I am life.

I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves. Be on your guard; you will be handed over to the local councils and be flogged in the synagogues. On my account you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles. But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say, for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭10‬:‭16‬-‭20‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Don't listen to the voices of distraction. Know me. Recognize my voice. Follow the way I have for you. You can find my peace and share me with those I bring into your pathway. Walk secure with me.

But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit. ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17‬:‭7‬-‭8‬ ‭NIV Bring your ears and needs to me. Release them from your grip. Place them upon my altar. Don't allow them to distract you from me. Wash yourself and put on my Spirit. I will lead you in the way you should go.

On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” ‭‭John‬ ‭7‬:‭37‬-‭38‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Put way from busyness and sit quietly with me. Close your wandering eyes and listen. Await my presence. Be filled with my spirit. I will guide you and wash the feelings of failure out of you. I will refresh you with the living water.

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬-‭13‬ ‭NIV‬‬ I am with you. Listen for my voice. I will direct you in your journey. I will walk with you along the way and be your protection. Learn my word. Allow it to fill you with truth. Share me with others.

When Samuel caught sight of Saul, the Lord said to him, “This is the man I spoke to you about; he will govern my people.” Saul approached Samuel in the gateway and asked, “Would you please tell me where the seer’s house is?” “I am the seer,” Samuel replied. “Go up ahead of me to the high place, for today you are to eat with me, and in the morning I will send you on your way and will tell you all that is in your heart. As for the donkeys you lost three days ago, do not worry about them; they have been found. And to whom is all the desire of Israel turned, if not to you and your whole family line?”” ‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭9‬:‭17‬-‭20‬ ‭NIV‬‬ My ways continue. Listen for me and the sound of my voice to direct you. Weigh your reactions carefully. Become whom you were called to be. I will be there to guide you along your way.
