the FireCarrier

As He was teaching in the temple complex, Jesus cried out, “You know Me and you know where I am from. Yet I have not come on My own, but the One who sent Me is true. You don’t know Him; I know Him because I am from Him, and He sent Me.” Then they tried to seize Him. Yet no one laid a hand on Him because His hour had not yet come. However, many from the crowd believed in Him and said, “When the Messiah comes, He won’t perform more signs than this man has done, will He? ” ‭‭John‬ ‭7‬:‭28‬-‭31‬ ‭HCSB‬‬ As this day passes before you, what do you remember? Have you taken the time to quiet yourself and sit quietly with me? Don't allow the temporary frustrations to become your norm. Stretch forth into my heavens. Ready yourself for a ride .

Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable His judgments and untraceable His ways! For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been His counselor? Or who has ever first given to Him, and has to be repaid? For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen. ‭‭Romans‬ ‭11‬:‭33‬-‭36‬ ‭HCSB‬‬ I hear your internal rumbling and grumbling as it explodes from you. Don't hold it in nor let it out at someone, but come to me.

In the morning they got up early and went out to the wilderness of Tekoa. As they were about to go out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Hear me, Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem. Believe in Yahweh your God, and you will be established; believe in His prophets, and you will succeed.” Then he consulted with the people and appointed some to sing for the Lord and some to praise the splendor of His holiness. When they went out in front of the armed forces, they kept singing: Give thanks to the Lord, for His faithful love endures forever. ‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭20‬:‭ 20-21‬‬ ‭HCSB Walk in the authority of my love. Allow it to reach out and affect others. Show them the way to life. Share with them the love I share with you. Give thanks. Teach them the way to life through me.

Then they tried to seize Him. Yet no one laid a hand on Him because His hour had not yet come. However, many from the crowd believed in Him and said, “When the Messiah comes, He won’t perform more signs than this man has done, will He? ” The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things about Him, so the chief priests and the Pharisees sent temple police to arrest Him. ‭‭John‬ ‭7‬:‭30‬-‭32‬ ‭HCSB‬‬ Your safety and security comes from knowing me. You may suffer now, but will later be part of the final resurrection. Then there will be no more destruction. Glory from the Father will blanket you and be your provision.

Then Asa cried out to the Lord his God: “Lord, there is no one besides You to help the mighty and those without strength.

Do not let a mere mortal hinder You.” ‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭14‬:‭11‬ ‭HCSB Without me you have nothing but an empty page. You will be empty and lost. Come closer and hear the words I have to speak.

My host will move on your behalf. Take a stand. Raise your voice in triumph and push back the enemy.

We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God: those who are called according to His purpose. For those He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers. And those He predestined, He also called; and those He called, He also justified; and those He justified, He also glorified. ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭28‬-‭30‬ ‭HCSB‬‬ Return. Sit beneath the shadow of my protection. Hear my words of truth. They will guide you in your journey. They will demonstrate my heart. I am there with you now.

When Solomon finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offerings and the other sacrifices, and the Lord’s glory filled the temple. The priests couldn’t go into the Lord’s temple because the Lord’s glory had filled the Lord’s temple.

They worshiped and praised the Lord, by saying, “He is good; his mercy endures forever.” ‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭7‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭GW‬‬ What do you hear when you listen for me?

In that night God appeared to Solomon and said to him, “Ask what I shall give you.” Solomon said to God, “You have dealt with my father David with great lovingkindness, and have made me king in his place. Now, O Lord God, Your promise to my father David is fulfilled, for You have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth.

It was not through the law that Abraham and his descendants received the promise that he would be the heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith. For if those who are of the law become heirs, faith would be made void and the promise nullified, because the law produces wrath, for where there is no law, there is no offense. ‭‭Romans‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬-‭15‬ ‭MEV‬‬ Read the signs, "You Are Not Alone". I am there with you. At all times of your day I am there. Recognize me and my leading you along the way you should go. Listen for me, believing in my written word.

The Lord is in his holy temple. The Lord’s throne is in heaven. His eyes see. They examine Adam’s descendants. The Lord tests righteous people, but he hates wicked people and the ones who love violence. He rains down fire and burning sulfur upon wicked people.

Decent people will see his face. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭11‬:‭4‬-‭7‬ ‭GW‬‬ Quiet your inner noise and confusion. Come and sit before me. Allow my peace to cover you. I remain the healer.

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.

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.

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.
