God’s bread is the man who comes from heaven and gives life to the world.” They said to him, “Sir, give us this bread all the time.” Jesus told them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never become hungry, and whoever believes in me will never become thirsty.” ‭‭John‬ ‭6‬:‭33‬-‭35‬ ‭GW Remove the distractions. Close your eyes and sit quietly. I will show myself in ways that you will understand my love. My peace will settle upon you and release my healing.

God’s anger is revealed from heaven against every  ungodly and immoral thing people do as they try  to suppress the truth by their immoral living.  What can be known about God is clear to them  because he has made it clear to them.  From the creation of the world, God’s invisible qualities,  his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly  observed in what he made.  As a result, people have no excuse.  They knew God but did not praise and thank him  for being God. Instead, their thoughts were pointless,  and their misguided minds were plunged into darkness.  While claiming to be wise, they became fools.  They exchanged the glory of the immortal God for statues  that looked like mortal humans, birds, animals, and snakes. ‭‭Romans‬ ‭1‬:‭18‬-‭23‬ ‭GW ‬‬

I’m not ashamed of the Good News. It is God’s power to save everyone who believes, Jews first and Greeks as well. God’s approval is revealed in this Good News. This approval begins and ends with faith as Scripture says, “The person who has God’s approval will live by faith.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭1‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭GW‬‬ Come before me. Learn to rest in my presence. Become prepared for serving me. I will fill you with what you need. I will heal your wounds. Draw closer to my throne. See the glory. Don't be fearful but worship me.

Sing to the Lord a new song! Sing to the Lord, all the earth! Sing to the Lord! Praise his name! Day after day announce that the Lord saves his people. Tell people about his glory. Tell all the nations about his miracles. The Lord is great! He should be highly praised. He should be feared more than all other gods because all the gods of the nations are idols. The Lord made the heavens. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭96‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭GW‬‬ Do you see their faces? I know each one of  them. I know their hearts and their hurts.  Speak blessings to them with your mouth  and within your prayers. Reach outward. Take what I have for you. Become a blessing to them.

Faith enabled Enoch to be taken instead of dying. No one could find him, because God had taken him. Scripture states that before Enoch was taken, God was pleased with him. No one can please God without faith. Whoever goes to God must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who seek him. ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭GW‬‬ Come to the spot I have provided for you. Sit there and learn to recognize me. My hand is upon you. Feel the warmth of my healing. Unpack your frustration and leave it here. Now begin to move closer to my altar. Do not be frightened. I am the holy one. I am the one you seek after.

O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name throughout the earth! Your glory is sung above the heavens. From the mouths of little children and infants, you have built a fortress against your opponents to silence the enemy and the avenger. When I look at your heavens, the creation of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have set in place— what is a mortal that you remember him or the Son of Man that you take care of him? You have made him a little lower than yourself. You have crowned him with glory and honor. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭GW‬‬ Listen for my guiding. Do not ignore me. Follow through with what I have placed within your heart. Become secure in me. Allow my written word to fill you with mercy and truth. Take from it each day.

The man saw Jesus at a distance. So he ran ⌞to Jesus, bowed down in front of him, and shouted, “Why are you bothering me now, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Swear to God that you won’t torture me.” He shouted this because Jesus said, “You evil spirit, come out of the man.” Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He told Jesus, “My name is Legion [Six Thousand], because there are many of us.” ‭‭Mark‬ ‭5‬:‭6‬-‭9‬ ‭GW‬‬ Do you believe I am there, that I can reach across and release my healing into your life? Ask believing. Ask me, and find what is needed. I will show you. I will present myself. I will strengthen you. Read my word. My truth continues.

The descendants of Reuben, Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 soldiers ready to go to war. They were skilled fighters who could carry shields and swords and shoot arrows. They went to war against Hagar’s descendants (including Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab) and received help while fighting them. Hagar’s descendants and the nations with them were handed over to Reuben’s descendants. They had called out to God during the battle, and he answered their prayers because they trusted him. ‭‭1 Chronicles‬ ‭5‬:‭18‬-‭20‬ ‭GW‬‬ I can answer your prayers. Trust in me. It's time to remember to fully trust me. I will direct you in fighting your battles. Do not forget me. Do not turn away nor misplace your hope. I am the way and the truth. The enemy is a liar. Call out to me expecting me to answer.

Jesus said to them, “I can guarantee this truth: When the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne in the world to come, you, my followers, will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who gave up homes, brothers or sisters, father, mother, children, or fields because of my name will receive a hundred times more and will inherit eternal life. However, many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭19‬:‭28‬-‭30‬ ‭GW‬‬ Consider your ways. Continue in my Word. It will feed you what you need, if you believe and follow. Do not become fearful nor lazy. I will show you the way to go in your travels. I will be there with you. I am all that you need.

Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. When the Sabbath came, he began to teaching the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. “Where did this man get these things?” they asked. “What’s this wisdom that has been given him? What are these remarkable miracles he is performing? Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him. ‭‭Mark‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Watch for me. Do not become tired nor discouraged. I am there if you take the time to listen. I’ve not left you. Days pass, and so do your ideas about me. I present myself In the way you need to know me. Listen and watch. Seek me with your heart.

Calling the Twelve to him, he began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over impure spirits. These were his instructions: “Take nothing for the journey except a staff —no bread, no bag, no money in your belts. Wear sandals but not an extra shirt. Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that town. And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, leave that place and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.” They went out and preached that people should repent. They drove out many demons and anointed many sick people with oil and healed them. ‭‭Mark‬ ‭6‬:‭7‬-‭13‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Are you listening for my instructions? Don't be doing what you feel is right, but trust me and my directions. I will direct you. Walk with me. You too can carry my  authority. Learn to walk in the same love  I have shared with you.

Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it. ‭‭Luke‬ ‭9‬:‭23‬-‭24‬ ‭NIV‬‬ If you settle yourself and listen for me you can hear the directions I have for you. You will hear my heart. Wash away your anxiety with my Word. It is truth. It never changes. Learn to apply to your life. Find freedom within me.

Jesus answered, It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’ Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’ Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬, ‭7‬, ‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬ As you move throughout your day, don't forget me and what I have spoken to you. Replay those words. Learn them. They are truth placed within you. They will grow as you exercise the ways without fear. Walk secure, I am there. I have provided what you need.

Praise the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness. Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe, praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭150‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Look beyond the distractions and find I have you where you are. Learn not only to see my presence, but learn to respond as I would direct you to others. Close your eyes and watch. See the way I would move through your responding. I am there with you now.

It may be that the Lord your God will hear all the words of the field commander, whom his master, the king of Assyria, has sent to ridicule the living God, and that he will rebuke him for the words the Lord your God has heard. Therefore pray for the remnant that still survives. When King Hezekiah’s officials came to Isaiah, Isaiah said to them, “Tell your master, ‘This is what the Lord says: Do not be afraid of what you have heard —those words with which the underlings of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me. Listen! When he hears a certain report, I will make him want to return to his own country, and there I will have him cut down with the sword.’ ” ‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭19‬:‭4‬-‭7‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Do not be guided by your fears. Walk with me. Follow the directions I have provided for you. My word is truth. It does not change, Follow through with what I have spoken to you. Don't be fearful. I am ever-with you.

Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord from the heavens; praise him in the heights above. Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his heavenly hosts. Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all you shining stars. Praise him, you highest heavens and you waters above the skies. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭148‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Put aside your fears and come to me. Allow my healing t reach into those broken places and release wholeness. I am what you need. Do not be fearful, but step forward.

On the third day, they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands. When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the storm continued raging, we finally gave up all hope of being saved. After they had gone a long time without food, Paul stood up before them and said: “Men, you should have taken my advice not to sail from Crete; then you would have spared yourselves this damage and loss. But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because not one of you will be lost; only the ship will be destroyed.” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭27‬:‭19‬-‭22‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Don't allow those storms in your life guide nor distract you. Turn from your quiet complaining and use this time to come closer to me. Reach out and find my safety. Come and sit before me and be cleaned. Watch for me. I will guide you in the ways you should go. I will demonstrate my love.

“Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” They answered, “No,  we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.” So Paul asked, “Then what baptism did you receive?” “John’s baptism,” they replied. Paul said, “John’s baptism  was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming  after him, that is, in Jesus.” On hearing this, they  were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied. ‭‭Acts‬ ‭19‬:‭2‬-‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Be honest and allow me into your life. You can't hide your fears or failures from me. I already know them and yet my love is ever-available for you. Come and sit with me. Learn of my ways. Allow my peace and healing to cover you. My Spirit is there. Follow the leading. My hands will guide you in my direction for your life.

Now Elisha had been suffering from the illness from which he died. Jehoash king of Israel went down to see him and wept over him. “My father! My father!” he cried. “The chariots and horsemen of Israel!” Elisha said, “Get a bow and some arrows,” and he did so. “Take the bow in your hands,” he said to the king of Israel. When he had taken it, Elisha put his hands on the king’s hands. “Open the east window,” he said, and he opened it. “Shoot!” Elisha said, and he shot. “The Lord’s arrow of victory, the arrow of victory over Aram!” Elisha declared. “You will completely destroy the Arameans at Aphek.” Then he said, “Take the arrows,” and the king took them. Elisha told him, “Strike the ground.” He struck it three times and stopped. The man of God was angry with him and said, “You should have struck the ground five or six times; then you would have defeated Aram and completely destroyed it. But now you will defeat it only three times.” Elisha died and was buried. ‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭13‬:‭14‬-‭20a‬ ‭...

And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Hear the sound of my voice and come with me. Listen to my leading you. Do not be fearful. That shows your focus is not upon me, but the circumstances. Extend yourself to others. Let my healing flow forth from your words. Help them see they are safe with me.
