SOMMER FAMILY BLESSING

Welcome to the blog for Linda Sommer.

My Blog will cover three subjects:

WORD FROM THE LORD, FAMILY, and MINISTRY.

WORD FROM THE LORD
Every day I spend time with the Lord in the morning and He speaks to my heart words that are encouraging, exhorting and sometimes rebuking.

At first, I felt not to share these words with others, but then I realized I am just one of His followers. There are many people who need a word daily from the Lord, but they do not have the time to seek Him. This is why I decided to share the words I received from time to time. The messages are in first person as the the Lord relayed them to my spirtual ears.

FAMILY
We have three sons and nine grandchildren. There is something new happening all the time in the Sommer family. I will post some of these events of interest.

MINISTRY
Tom and I have traveled the world. To find out more about our ministry you may consult our webpage -
http://www.voiceofthesword.com/.
I will keep you updated on future speaking enagements and ministry developments.

AGAINST

 David, My beloved psalmist, wrote: "Many are they that rise up against Me. Many are they who  say of my soul, 'There is no help for him in God.'  But You, O LORD, are a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head."

As you begin this new year, you have a better understanding of how many foes you have.  It seems there are more against you and your nation than there are those who are with you.  This is a lie.

Just as I opened the eyes of Elisha's servant to see the multitude of angel armies that were on Elisha's side, I open your eyes to see that there are more for you than are against you.  I have gathered My army of angels to fight for you and your nation in this new year.  Do not fear.  I always win My battles.

PSLAM 3:1-3; 2 KINGS 6:15-17

CONSISTENT

You have learned as a parent that you must be consistent in your efforts to discipline your children. My Father and I are consistent in our discipline of you and all in My body on Earth.  

The writer of Hebrews said that we should not despise the chastening of the LORD.  My Father and I love you, and we discipline you because we want to protect you and help you to mature spiritually.

My Father allowed this pandemic, but He did not cause it to punish believers.  Because many of those things that distracted you were taken away for a season,  you how have more time to pray and draw close to Me. During this season when you are no longer distracted by many things, draw close to Me in prayer.  Be consistent in your prayer life and pray without ceasing every day.

HEBREWS 12:5-11

KNOWLEDGE

 As you begin your day today, I want to ask you this question:  "Where will you seek knowledge today?"  So many in your age are dependent upon their phones or computers to inform them of the things they need to know.

You live in the age of knowledge. The knowledge that you have the opportunity to receive today is eternal knowledge. The day will come when worldly knowledge will pass away.  

The eternal knowledge that I offer to you daily is the knowledge of My love and the knowledge of My Word.  Begin your day today and every day by seeking eternal knowledge, and you will have the strength to face whatever comes your way each day.

EPHESIANS 1:17; COLOSSIANS 1:9

PREMIUM

When I walked on Earth, we had no such word as premium.  When you buy something at a premium price, you are willing to pay a higher price to purchase something of great value.

Peter wrote that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, but with My precious blood.  I paid the premium price to purchase you when I died to forgive you of your sins.  I was willing to pay the price of My own life to redeem you from sin because you are of great value to Me.

Remember today that I died to redeem the whole world from sin.  Every person on Earth is of great value to Me, and I do not want any to perish.  I want all to come to know Me as their Lord and Savior.  Pray for those who have not repented and received Me by faith.  I long to have them enter My kingdom of righteousness, peace, and joy.

1 PETER 1:19;  2 PETER 3:9

RECENT

You look at your phones to discover the most recent calls to make sure you have not missed any calls.  You also have voice mails that will reveal messages people have left, and you can actually hear their voice.  You also have the ability to read written messages that others have sent you.

The age you live in is full of technical inventions that aid you as you go through your day.  Now, I want to express to you what provision I have made that will aid you as you travel your journey through life, and most important day by day.

My most recent call to you that I give you daily is, "Love one another as I have loved you."  My voice mail to you today and every day is to yield to My Spirit as He instructs you throughout the day.  Those who are led by My Spirit are sons and daughters of God.  My written message to you is My Word.  Read it, hear it, and heed it.  Keep the lines of communication with Me open also.  I long to hear your voice in prayer.

JOHN 13:34; ROMANS 8:14; PSALM 119:105

CAST

Most of My disciples were fishermen who cast nets into the sea to catch fish.  Once the net was full, they pulled the net in and emptied the fish into their boat. Peter loved to fish. Peter exhorted believers to cast every care (all anxieties, concerns, and worries) upon Me.

I want you to be free of every care.  I do not want you to wait until you have a boat load of cares before you empty your net and throw your net out again.  The moment you have a worry, I want you to pray and give that concern to Me.  

I love to receive your burdens.  They are like gifts to Me.  Once you release your burden to Me in prayer, I give that burden to My Father and we intercede together. Then we are able to perfect whatever is a concern to you and fill your mind and heart with the peace that passes your understanding.

1 PETER 5:6-7; PHIIPPIANS 4:6-7; PSALM 138:8

POWER

Paul warned Timothy that there would  be people who had a form of godliness, but who would deny the power  thereof.  He told Timothy to stay away from such people.  One of the most important lessons you can learn as you seek to grow spiritually is to understand My statement: "Without Me you can do nothing."  

Paul wrote this in his letter to the Ephesians: "Now unto Him Who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us."

This Christmas Day as your turn on the lights of your tree and the lights outside your home, I want you to realize that the lights will not work without power.  I have called you to be a light shining in this dark world. To fulfill this call, you have to be connected to My power.  My power is the power of My Holy Spirit. Yield to Him today and you will be able to give the gift of My presence to others in addition to the physical presents you will give.

JOHN 15:5; 2 TIMOTHY 5; EPHESIANS 3:20

STRUGGLE

The word, "struggle," means to fight violently with an opponent.  My servant Paul made it clear that  My body on Earth is not fighting against people, politics, or armies of flesh.  As you pray and penetrate the spiritual realm, you are fighting against principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, and wickedness in high places.

I have already won the victory over all these demonically influenced entities.  However, your job is to use your kingdom keys to bind the adversary with all of his evil angels and demons, and to loose My army of angels to fight for you.

I have already made a show openly over all My adversary's armies.  I have given you My armor and My weapons and My keys.  Use them today, and you will enforce the victory on earth that I have already won for you.

EPHESIANS 6:11-18; MATTHEW 16:19;  COLOSSIANS 2:15

GOVERNMENT

It was prophesied by Isaiah that the government would be upon My shoulders.  This prophecy should give you great peace because this means that I control nations.  Yes, with all the chaos of governments worldwide, I am still in control.

The psalmist wrote about the nations and kings of the earth who had set themselves against Me, the anointed One.  They intended to break Me, but I will laugh at their attempts.  They do not realize that I am the One who promotes and demotes them.  I am the One Who sets nations against nations to fulfill My purpose.

What is My purpose?  My purpose is the same as it has been from the beginning.  My purpose is to draw all men to repentance and to redeem them from their sins.  When you pray that My Kingdom come and that My will be done on earth as it is in heaven, you are praying for My purpose to be fulfilled.  You are praying for a worldwide harvest of souls.  Keep praying. Ask of Me and I will give you the heathen for your inheritance and all the earth for your possession.

ISAIAH 9:6-7; PSALM 2 (Read all of it)

CAPTURED

 You rejoice when some one who has been causing all kinds of evil is finally captured.  Solomon wrote that "When the wicked rise, men hid themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase."  Many in your nation are still in fear, and they are in hiding.  Their thoughts are on survival during the difficult times that may come in your nation.

I have not called you to survive.  I have called you to overcome.  It is your faith in Me that will cause you to overcome the world with all of its evil.  

Keep your focus on Me in the days ahead, capture every negative thought of worry, doubt, or fear and give those thoughts to Me.  Remember My promise to you is that I will always cause those Who trust in Me to triumph in Me.

PROVERBS 28:28; 2 CORINTHIANS 2:14, 10:3-6

Merry

Why do you wish one another to have a Merry Christmas?  I was not born in December, but I am delighted that people in most nations celebrate My birth on December 25th.  Many do not even realize why I was born.

It is more than appropriate to greet one another during this wonderful season with this enthusiastic statement, "Hope you have a very Merry Christmas."  

I want to greet you with those words also, but I want you to know that I am your hope, and only I can give you joy that will make you not only merry, but also will cause you to be strong in faith. A merry heart does good like a medicine.  You can have a merry heart every moment of each day of the year because in My presence is fulness of joy.  Take time today to allow My joy to invade your soul.

PSALM 16:11; PROVERBS  17:22

COLORS

 I love to see the colors of Christmas.  Each color tells My story.  The green represents when I came to the green earth.  The red represents the blood I shed to pay the redemption price for your sins when I died to forgive the sins of the world.  

The silver tinsel and the gold garlands that decorate the Christmas trees remind Me that you are My vessels who are worth more to Me than silver or gold.

The bright, white lights on the trees outside and inside your home represent the truth that I am the light of the world Who lights every man that comes into the world.  When you were conceived, I was present at your conception, and one day you will see the light on My face when I receive you to live with Me for all eternity.

JOHN 3:16, 1:9; 2 TIMOTHY 2:20

PENETRATE

 Even  before the foundation of the Earth, My Father and I designed works for you to accomplish while you are on Earth.  The choice you have is to yield to My Spirit so that you can be directed to do that work.

I told My disciples to work while there is still day.  Then I added that I am the light of the world.  Even though the darkness seems to be growing by the minute in your nation and throughout the world, never forget that the light is still here.

Light always has the power to penetrate the darkness.  You are now the light of the world that can penetrate the darkness in this world.  Daily draw closer and closer to Me so that My light within you will grow brighter and brighter.

EPHESIANS 2:10; MATTHEW 5:14; JOHN 9:4

RETREAT/ADVANCE

 I know that you finally heard Me speak to you when you were on a retreat, and sat by the lake to ask Me questions.  The question you asked Me was, "What is wrong with your life."  

I responded that You needed to receive My love. Until that moment you had been trying to earn My love through what you did for Me.  Then you heard that I had freely given you My love over 2,000 years ago when I died to redeem you from sin.

Today you are asking Me many questions about what is happening in your nation.  You are hearing many lies, but the truth is that I love you and your nation.  You can hear My voice today and every day, and I want you to know that My plans for you and your nation are good, not evil.  I want you to advance in faith today by believing that I can change what has happened in your nation, and I plan to do just that.

JEREMIAH 29:11

BUDS

You were excited this morning when you saw the buds on your Christmas cactus begin to open. up.   The same excitement you felt when you saw the buds begin to display beautiful blooms is the same excitement that I feel when I see those who you have prayed for to be saved begin to open their hearts to receive Me as their Lord and Savior. Keep praying for them.

Every part of your Christmas cactus represents what I have done for you when I redeemed you from sin. The thorns on the green leaves represent the peace of mind that I purchased for you when the crown of thorns was set on My head before My crucifixion. 

The pink or red blossoms represent the blood I shed to reconcile you to My Father.  On that fateful day when I became the perfect sacrifice for the sins of the world, I gave you a Christmas gift that you will never exchange.  That gift was My righteousness exchanged for your unrighteous sins.

ROMANS 3:25-26

GOOD TIDINGS

When the angel appeared to the shepherds in the field, he said, "Fear not: for, behold I bring you good tidings of great joy,  which shall be to all people."  The shepherds were watching their flocks at night because its was lambing season. They were present to help the mother lambs deliver their baby lambs.

I am the Lamb of the world Who was born to redeem the world from the grip of Satan.  Many in the world have been fearful during this pandemic, but the good news is that I was born to provide a way for all who believe in Me to be set free from the bondage of fear.

Be sure to share this good news with family and friends this Christmas. Those who will receive these good tidings will receive more than just Christmas presents.  They will receive My presence that will give them fulness of joy and pleasures forever more.

LUKE 1:19;  PSALM 16:11

Light

 I am the light of the world.  I rejoice when I see all the homes with bright lights outside.  I rejoice even more when I see My light shining on the faces of people.                                      

I want your light to so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify My Father in heaven.

MATTHEW 5:16

YOKE

When I walked on Earth, I set the example of how you are to daily walk.  I was yoked to the Holy Spirit and that empowered Me to do My Father's will daily.  I gave the invitation to every believer to come to Me and take My yoke upon them.

After the Spirit came upon Me at My baptism, I was enabled to remain meek and lowly of heart.  I want you to be yoked to My Spirit daily.  Ask for a fresh anointing of My Spirit so that you can be empowered to do My Father's will.

When you take My yoke upon you, you will recognize that without Me you can do nothing, but with the power of My Spirit that lives within you, nothing is impossible.  Tap into this power daily.

MATTHEW 11:29

Tuesday, December 8, 2020

GOODNESS

When someone called me good Master, I responded, "Why do you call Me good? There is none good but one, that is, God:...." I am God in the flesh who demonstrated God's goodness in flesh form.  

When Moses asked My Father to show forth His glory to him, My Father allowed His goodness to pass by Moses. An important aspect of the glory of God My Father is His goodness.

From the very beginning of mankind, My adversary has been lying to people by telling them that God is not good.  Many are believing that lie in your nation because of the evil that is happening in your nation now.  However, the truth is that the devil is the one who brings darkness and evil to a nation.  As the world grows darker, be encouraged because My light within you will shine brighter and brighter, and men will see your good works and glorify My Father in heaven.

MATTHEW 19:17; EXODUS 33:19

Monday, December 7, 2020

PRESS

Your nation is under extreme demonic pressure.  This means that it is time for you as My body on Earth to press into Me.  James exhorted believers to press into Me by submitting themselves first to Me and then resisting the devil.

Submission to Me with a heart that is ready to obey Me is the vital first step that must be taken before you can resist the devil.  I have given you all power in My name to destroy the works of the devil.

Ask for My Holy Spirit to reveal to you the principalities and powers that are over your nation now, and then resist the devil by praying for every work of the devil to be destroyed.

JAMES 4:7

Sunday, December 6, 2020

ORIGINAL

I have heard the saying that there is nothing new under the sun.   This means that history repeats itself.  It also means that My adversary always uses the same tactics. He is using lies to bring down your nation.

My Word gives warning not to be ignorant of Satan's devices.  Paul wrote Timothy that in latter times many would depart from the faith, because they listened to seducing spirits, and the doctrines of devils.

The liberty you enjoy as a nation now is being threatened by My adversary who is a liar and the father of lies.  Great deception has been released into the atmosphere.  I exhort you who know My truth to use the keys to the kingdom that I have given you to bind those lying spirits and seducing spirits and to loose My Holy Spirit of truth over your nation.

1 TIMOTHY 4:1


Friday, December 4, 2020

RECEPTION

I have observed the joyous receptions that follow a wedding.  The bride and groom are honored, and people congratulate the bridegroom and say how lovely and beautiful the bride is.

The day is coming when there will be a receiving line in heaven.  After that reception, you and every believer will celebrate the marriage supper of the Lamb. I am the Lamb Who was slain to redeem the world from sin even before the Earth was formed.  

I am preparing My church to be My beautiful bride.  Be patient while My Holy Spirit prepares you to be conformed to My image.  Cooperate with Him as He helps you to overcome the temptations the world and the devil offer you.  Keep your focus on Me, your Bridegroom, and be confident that you will one day see Me face to face.

REVELATION 19:9; REVELATION 5:9

Thursday, December 3, 2020

RENDER

The day will come when I will render to every man according to his deeds. This should be a sobering thought for all.

My Father has given Me all power to judge mankind, and every man who ever lived will have to appear before My judgment seat.  There are two judgment seats (one for reward and one for punishment).

Those who believe in Me will be judged for reward.  Others will appear before the Great White Throne of Judgement and they will be judged according to their works.  Pray for those who have yet to believe in Me.  Pray for them to come to know and believe in Me so that their names can be written in My Lamb's Book of Life.

ROMANS 2:6; REVELATION 20:12

Wednesday, December 2, 2020

SUSTAIN

I am your "Good Shepherd," and I will sustain you even through times when there is lack in your life.  During this pandemic so many have encountered lack in their lives.

When I gave My teaching on the mountain, I promised to supply your needs.  I not only have the ability to sustain you by keeping you supplied with the necessities of life, but I also can sustain your soul (mind, will, and emotions) in these difficult times.

My grace is sufficient to supply every need you may be experiencing.  Do not hesitate to go boldly to My throne room of grace to obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

HEBREWS 4:16

Tuesday, December 1, 2020

STOP

When you were a child, your mother would immediately put her hand out to stop you from crossing the street into the rushing traffic.  I want you not to be discouraged about the times that you are experiencing right now in your own nation and over all the world.

My hand is not so short that it cannot save.  I am putting My hand of mercy out right now to stop the lying lips in your media and in your government.  Lying lips are an abomination to Me.  Your intercession right now is needed to open the spiritual realm for My hand to reach down from heaven to stop the plans of the enemy.

Your voice is needed on Earth to proclaim both Who I am and what I plan.  Keep praying for My will to be accomplished on Earth.   I have given you all power to destroy the works of the devil, and now you need to give these truths voice on Earth.

ISAIAH 50:2

END TIME EXHORTATIONS

Many in Paul's day were expecting My soon return.  This is why Paul felt to write some end time exhortations to the church in Thessalonica.  However, I exhort you to follow these exhortations daily.

Paul exhorted the church to appreciate and respect those who are leaders in the church.  He encouraged the believers to live in peace with one another and to seek the good for one another.  He wanted believers to encourage those who were spiritually weak and admonish those who were undisciplined.  

He desired for believers to rejoice always, delight in their faith, pray unceasingly, be thankful in all circumstances. He warned them to not quench the Holy Spirit or scorn or reject the gifts of prophecy.  However, they were to test all things.  Above all he instructed them to abstain from evil and to consecrate themselves so that they could be found blameless at My coming. Daily submit yourself to Me, and My Holy Spirit will help you to fulfill these exhortations.

1 THESSALONIANS 5:12-23 

Saturday, November 28, 2020

LIES

Solomon said that lying lips are an abomination.  You live in a world now that is filled with lying lips. When I walked on Earth, I told My disciples that if they continued in My Word that they would know the truth and the truth would set them free.

True freedom will only come to you and others if you allow the Holy Spirit to interpret My Word to you. My Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth and My Word is truth.

To have keen discernment between a lie and the truth, you have to abide in My Word.  The devil is a liar and the father of lies.  Pray that you will never be seduced by the devil to believe a lie.

PROVERBS 12:22; JOHN 8:44

Thursday, November 26, 2020

FAMILY

This is a day that families gather to thank Me for their blessings.  My desire is that you would give Me thanks and praise every day and throughout your days.

I love to hear your voice every time you give thanks, praise, worship, and make your requests known to Me.  I also love for you to give Me your burdens because the minute you give Me your burdens,  I give your burden to My Father and we pray together about your burdens.  This is why My burden is light.

I want you to come to Me whenever you labor and are heavy laden.  I said to take My yoke upon you and learn of Me because I am meek and lowly of heart: and you will find rest  for your souls.  My yoke is My Holy Spirit and I want you to allow Him to comfort, teach, and exhort you today.

MATTHEW 11:28-30


Wednesday, November 25, 2020

YESTERDAY

 I want you to live in the moment.  Much has happened in your yesterdays.  It is meaningful to go back to history and see how history repeats itself.  It is also constructive to not hold on to hurts from the past.  

It is important that you never let the sun go down on your anger, and that way your yesterday of strife can be forgotten and forgiven.  I told people not to think about their tomorrows.  Instead, I wanted them to trust in Me for their tomorrows.

Since this virus crisis has come to the world, many are concerned and worried about their future.  Again, I want you to look to Me and trust Me with your future.  Release your yesterdays and do not think about your tomorrows.  Instead, live in the moment because your faith can only be activated in the moment that you are experiencing.

MATTHEW 6:34

STEADFAST

 This is a time in the history of your nation that you and all other believers need to be steadfast.  Paul wrote this exhortation to the Corinthian church: "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, un- moveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, for as you know that  your labor is not in vain in the Lord."

The writer of Hebrews wrote: "For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end:

My disciples had to hold steadfast to my teachings when I walked on Earth.  I had shared many promises with them, and they learned that I was faithful to fulfill those promises.  Today as you face great upheaval in your nation, I want you to hold steadfast to My promises because it is through My promises that you can partake of My very divine nature.

1 CORINTHIANS 15:58; HEBREWS 3:14; 2 PETER 1:4

ATTITUDE

When I taught on the mountain that they now call "The Mount of Beatitudes," I was sharing the blessings that come to those who have attitudes that glorify Me. I shared nine attitudes that I wanted My disciples to have.  The main attitude that I wanted them to have was a gracious, humble, attitude that hungered to live according to My Word.

I knew if they had a gracious attitude that they would be able to receive the grace that I freely would offer them after I left them.  Grace is the supernatural power through Me to do what is impossible in the natural.

I want grace to abound in your life, and as you totally depend upon Me moment by moment each day, I will be able to flow My supernatural love, peace, and joy through you.  Thank Me today for making My grace available to you.  

MATTHEW 5:3-11

Saturday, November 21, 2020

LAW

The ten commandments were given to define sin and to help mankind realize that the keeping of the whole law was impossible.  I made it clear in My teaching that if one of the laws in the commandments was broken that the whole law would be broken.

I came to fulfill the law, not to do away with it.  When you observe My life as you read the gospels, you will discover that I broke most every religious law.  The religious leaders in My day prided themselves on keeping the laws, but I wanted them to realize that they could not earn righteousness by keeping religious laws.

When I died on the tree, I broke the curses of the law upon mankind.  I was the perfect sacrifice that made it possible for those who received Me as their Lord and Savior to have right standing and a relationship with My Father through Me.  It always pleases Me when you recognize that I have given you the robe of righteousness and I have crowned you with My glory.

GALATIANS 3:13; ROMANS 3:20-26; REVELATION 19:8

BENEFITS

Most everyone wants a good benefit program that will guarantee delivery.  There is a benefit program in My Word that will always produce lasting benefits.

This benefit program is designed for people who fear Me.  You will see many benefits in My Word that are promised to those who "Fear the Lord."  To fear Me does not mean to be afraid of Me.  You fear Me when you have awe and respect for My power and majesty, and when you have a willing heart that wants to obey Me.

Those who fear Me will be honored,  taught My ways and established in My Word, protected, given discernment, wisdom, and understanding, blessed by having their desires fulfilled, shown mercy, experience long life.

PSALM  25:12, 33:18;34:7, 103:11, 111:10, 115:13, 119:38, 145:19; PROVERBS 10:27

ENTER

 When I gave the parable about the talents, the master or lord who gave five talents to one servant complimented that servant because they servant had invested his five talents and those five talents earned five more talents.

The master said to the servant, "Well done, you good and  faithful servant: you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things: enter you into the joy of your lord.

I am so pleased when you invest time in people and also invest monies in My kingdom work on earth.  Your actions delight Me, but I want you to know that I am delighted with you always because you invest time with Me.  You will always enter into My joy when you spend time with Me every day.

MATTHEW 25:20-21

LEAD

 I know that when you were young you sang the song: "Where He leads Me, I will follow."  You were making a declaration that you would follow in My footsteps. You always pictured in your mind that I was leading you with My face turned away from you. 

Today, I want to give you a different view of what it means to follow Me.  I want you to know that I never turn My back on you.  I am always face to face with you.  Picture a proud father who is teaching his child to take the first steps.  He stoops down at eye level with the child, and then he slowly backs up with his arms outstretched to catch the child if  that child falls.

I want you to have the confidence that I am at eye level with you, and I have My arms outstretched to you to catch you.  If you start to stumble in as you walk where I am leading you, you will fall into My loving arms.  If you are too weak to continue your walk, I will carry you the rest of the way.

MATTHEW 16:24; PSALM 17:15

WASTE

Sometimes you may feel that delays are such a waste of time.  However, I live in eternity where there is no space or time.  You do live in time and space, and I assure you that I am quite aware of the times that you are experiencing right now in your nation and in the world.

There has seemed to be a delay in the discovery of a vaccine that will put and an end to the virus crisis that has enveloped the world.  There has seemed to be a delay in the final election results in your nation.

I want you to have complete confidence in My timing.  I use what seems to be a delay in your view for My purposes to be fulfilled.  These delays will be used to reveal My hand over nations.  I never waste time.  I use time to fulfill My ultimate plan on Earth.

MATTHEW 24:33-36; NUMBERS 14:21

CONTRASTS

When I created the Earth, I included many contrasts such as the moon and the sun that provided the contrast between light and darkness, night and day.  Even the shades of color in the sky provide contrasts like the white clouds and the blue skies.

When I created you, I wanted you to always walk in My light and never walk in darkness.  Yet, even though I was the light of the world, many have chosen to walk in darkness.

I had to create you with a free will so that you could choose to receive My love or reject My love. My heart is that the whole world walk in My light and that they would not only love Me, but love others with the same love that I love them.  Pray for those who have chosen to walk in darkness to have their eyes open to see My light and My love.

JOHN 1; EPHESIANS 1:18

WAY

You used to ask for directions often before the modern technology developed that enables you to be directed by a voice in your car that tells you exactly where to turn to reach your destination.

There was no such technology when I walked on Earth, but I always knew the way I should go.  I met with My Father a great while before morning broke and He promised to speak to Me throughout the day and tell me exactly the turns I should take as I walked the Sea of Galilee.

Many have lost their way during this virus crisis and they do not know what is true and not true.  I said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.  No man comes to the Father but by Me."  When you come to know My Father through Me, you will not only gain direction for your life, but you will also be able to discern the truth.

SUBSCRIBE

Subscribe is a word that is not found in My Word, but it is a word that is being used greatly in your culture. The word, "subscribe," means to sign at the end of a document as an indication of consent.

Your nation is experiencing fraud in your election for president.  Many have signed ballots without the proper documentation.  The three things that that I require of mankind is that they do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with My Holy Father and Me.

The injustice in your nation will be unveiled as you continue to press into Me and pray for justice and righteousness to reign in your land. Pray for the righteous foundations of your nation to be restored. When you persevere in prayer, you are subscribing to what My Word says: "Pray without ceasing."

MICAH 6:8; 1 THESSALONIANS 5:17

INCLINE

Psalm 102 is a psalm for the afflicted.  The second verse in this psalm reads: "Hide not Your face from me  when I am in trouble; incline Your ear to me, in the day when I call answer me speedily (Psalm 102:2)."  You are going through troubled times in your nation, but know with great confidence that I have heard your prayers.

I have heard your cries for mercy, and I am paying attention to all of your prayers as you cry out to Me to heal your land.  This is a time for you to wait expectantly for My glory to be manifested in your nation and in all the world.

Stand on the promise that says, "But as surely as I live, all the earth will be filled with My glory (Numbers 14:21)."  Declare this promise out loud and be assured that this promise will be fulfilled.

PSALM 102:2; NUMBERS 14:21

REFLECT

It is always rewarding to reflect upon memories of how I have been ever present with you even through difficult trials.  You and many others are experiencing a deeper dependency upon Me during these troubling times in your nation and in this world.  However, many people are confused and do not know where or who to turn to.

I want you to reflect My light and My love to those who have not relied upon Me.  So many are suffering because of this virus crisis, and you know that I am the high tower and the shelter that will strengthen them at this time.

You have the answer to where people can turn during desperate times.  I am that answer.  Freely share with others how no matter what they may face tomorrow that I will be with them for all their tomorrows.

PSALM 61:3

ESSENTIAL

The virus crisis that you are experiencing now has brought you to a place where you see the importance of the essentials like water and food.  These two things are essential for life.  Some things also that you thought were essential are no longer top priority in your life.

My life on Earth was a demonstration of what truly is essential in life.  The most essential thing for Me to do every morning was to converse with My Father through prayer. 

More than ever, you are entering a time when prayer will become the most essential thing in your life. I am the creator of all things, and an intimate relationship with Me will become essential in order for you to be what I have created you to be.  I created you to be My glory - to represent My presence to people. I am looking forward to our daily conversations.

MARK 1:35

ZEALOUS

This virus crisis is providing the church (My true body on earth) to wake up to the importance of prayer. I am purifying a peculiar people, zealous of good works. Prayer is a major good work that I designed for you to do while you are on earth.

The word, "peculiar," in Greek means beyond usual or special. Paul exhorted Titus to fulfill the good works I designed for him to accomplish.

Those who are zealous to do My will by fulfilling the good works I have assigned them are special to Me, and they are certainly beyond the usual.  Remember today that I have called you to loves others beyond what is usual.  As you daily offer yourself as a living sacrifice to do My will, you will be surprised at how I will use you in these last days.

TITUS 2:14

DESCENDED

Most believers know that I ascended to Heaven and led captivity captive and gave gifts to men.  However, there is not much said about My descending to the lower parts of the Earth.  Peter described that event.

I went in the spirit and preached to the spirits that were in prison who were disobedient during the days of Noah while he prepared the ark.  Those spirits had not heard the good news that I came to redeem the world from Satan's grip.

Peter shared My heart when he said that it is not My will that any should perish, but that all come to repentance. I preached the gospel to those who were dead so that they could live according to God in the spirit. What Peter wrote reveals My longsuffering with mankind.  Pray for those you know who have not yet come to repentance and received Me as their Lord and Savior.

EPHESIANS 4:8; 1 PETER 3:18-20; 2 PETER 3:9

ALTARS

The definition of an altar is a raised platform where sacrifices are made.  You will see in My Word that one of the main reasons that My Father judged Israel harshly was because they made evil altars to false gods. 

There are many evil altars that have been dedicated to false gods in your own nation.  One evil altar resembles the altar to Molech that was made centuries ago.  Infants were burned on the altars of this false God Molech. Millions of babies have been offered on this evil altar called abortion.

This practice of abortion in your land has caused a curse on your land that can only be removed through diligent prayer.  Pray that the laws that have legalized abortion to be overturned and then the curse over your nation will be removed.

LEVITICUS 18:21

ELECTION

The words "elect" and "election" can be found in various places in My Word. My servant Peter was elected according to the foreknowledge of My Father.  My Father chose not only Peter, but He also chose you as His workmanship, created in Me to accomplish good works that were before ordained so that you could walk in them.

It is up to you to make your calling and election sure by adding  to your faith virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness; and love.

These fruits of My Spirit will only develop in you as you yield daily to My Spirit, Who has the assignment to conform you to My image.  Offer your self daily as a living sacrifice and the members of your body to be used as instruments of My peace, righteousness, joy, and love.

1 PETER 1:2;  2 PETER 1:5-10; EPHESIANS 2:10

LIMITED

The virus crisis has increased exponentially the limits you now have to experience.  You are limited to a certain number of people in gatherings, places to shop, supplies to purchase, and so many other limits.

I know what it feels like to be limited.  I was limited to only say what My father wanted Me to say and to do only what I saw My Father do.  I was limited in My travels and when I died on the tree as the perfect sacrifice to reconcile people to My Father, I was limited.  I could not save Myself.

Though your limitations are many right now, you have unlimited access to My throne room were I ever live to make intercession for you.  Use these days to draw closer to Me.  I made it possible through My shed blood for you to enter boldly into My throne room of grace and mercy at any time day or night to find help in your time of need.

JOHN 5:19; 30. 12:49; HEBREWS 4:16

CONTENTMENT

There were many doctrines being taught in My servant Paul's day.  He warned Timothy, who was like a son to him, to stay away from those who put forth the doctrine that godliness would cause financial gain.

These doctrines are being preached in your day also. Paul shared the truth with Timothy.  He said that godliness is great gain when accompanied by contentment.  Paul learned to be content no matter what his financial circumstances were.  He learned how to abound and how to be abased.

True contentment comes from your confidence in Me to meet your needs no matter what your financial circumstances might be.  Many have lost their jobs during this virus crisis.  Pray for these people to discover that prayer can give them a peace that passes all of their understanding and when they pray with thanksgiving their hearts and minds can be guarded during these difficult circumstances.

LIBERTY

My will for every one is that they never experience bondage. Yet, as you look at the conditions in other lands, you see many countries that have oppressive leaders who place heavy burdens on people and who threaten people to obey their rules or face imprisonment.

Persecution of believers existed when I was on Earth, and when I left to go to My Father, that persecution increased.  I shared a great promise about persecution when I presented My teaching on the Mount.  I said,: "Blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousness sake for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.  Blessed are you, when men shall revile you, and persecute  you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for My sake.  Rejoice and be exceeding glad; for great is your reward in heaven; for so persecuted they the prophets who were before you.

Pray for all those who are in bondage to persecution, and pray for your own country to always have religious freedom.

MATTHEW 5:10-12

BOOKS

There are many books in heaven.  There is a Book of Remembrance that records every time you mention My name or even think about Me.  The prophet Malachi spoke about this.  He wrote: Then they who feared the LORD spoke often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who feared the LORD, and that thought upon His name.

I love to hear you mention My name during the day.  There are many things that you can talk about when you are with others, but when you talk about Me, the atmosphere becomes filled with My Spirit.

Many call Sundays "The Lord's Day."  It is a day to corporately worship and all the songs you sing to Me are also recorded in this Book of Remembrance.  Make it your goal to add to this book today and everyday..

MALACHI 3:16

DECEPTION/DETERMINED

 One of the main weapons of my enemy is deception.  My friend Paul wrote that even My Father would send deception upon those who reject My gospel as the days draw closer to My return.  As you can see, this deception is coming upon many today.

At one point Paul even said if it were possible, even the elect would be deceived.  The way to keep you and all your beloved from deception during these days is to exhort them to be determined to stay in My Word.

I told My Father as I prayed for My disciples that I had kept them through My Word.  I also will keep you  from deception through My Word.  Be determined today and everyday to search out the truth in My Word.  My Word is truth and the only way to fight deception is to hide My truth in your heart.

2 THESSALONIANS 2:11; JOHN 17:17, 19

TRAVELS

Since the virus crisis, many have been limited in their travels.  I know you are so thankful for the trips you have made with family and friends over the years.  My travels were also limited when I was on Earth, and that is why it was expedient that I return to My heavenly Father.  Now My presence can be shared by My beloved body on Earth.

Even though you have not been able to share the words I give you daily with others because of your recent travels, I look forward to giving words of encouragement to you daily.

I want you to understand that especially during these dark days that My light through you can shine in many lands as you lift up in prayer those who are laboring in My kingdom.  Ask My Holy Spirit to put on your heart those laborers you are to pray for each day.

JOHN 16:7

Friday, October 9, 2020

STRENGTH

 There are days during this virus crisis that I have heard many face the day with this quick prayer, "Lord, give me strength."  Even though this is a quick prayer and sometimes it is said as an exasperated comment and not a prayer, I do hear your heart.

You cannot help but be weary during the long days of this pandemic. The good news is that I can give you the strength you need to face another day of this pandemic.

The psalmist David had many days when he felt he could not face another day. He also had many days filled with fear. On those days he would declare: "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?  the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Declare these truths the next time you need strength.

PSALM 27:1

Thursday, October 8, 2020

GRATEFUL

 Since the virus hit in full force in your nation, there has been much sorrow and suffering.  When My friend Paul wrote many of the letters to the churches, he was in prison in Rome. 

As you read some of his letters, you will discover that one of the things he mentioned often was the importance of having a grateful and joyful attitude even in the midst of his own persecution and the persecution of many of the churches.

What was his secret to having a grateful, joyful attitude?  His secret was to seek and set his affection on the things above rather than the things on this earth.  This is good advice for every believer who has suffered much loss during this crisis. 

COLOSSIANS 3:1-2 

Wednesday, October 7, 2020

NEXT

"What happens next?"  This is the question many are asking as you still are experiencing the virus crisis, and you have an upcoming election.  To get through these uncertain times, I want you to depend completely upon My Holy Spirit to lead and guide you.

Each day in these troubling times will have new challenges.  Only My Holy Spirit knows what you will be facing in a day's time.  

Every morning I want you t o commit your day and your way to Me.  Ask My Spirit to put you in the right place at the right time.  Ask Him to help you fulfill your assignments in My kingdom that day.  The works I have for you to accomplish are written in your Book of Life.  Ask My Holy Spirit to help you be on the same page in your Book of Life.

TRIUMPH

I know you feel like the whole world is under siege by My enemy.  However, even though Satan is the god of this world, I am over him. He is like a mad dog that I have on a leash. 

I made a show of every demonic spirit openly when My Father laid upon Me the sins of the whole world. The wrath that My Father has against sin was also placed upon Me.  When I said it was finished, I meant that My work had been done.

I am over every principality and power.  When I died, I triumphed over the devil.  I have given you all power and authority over the devil in My name.  Submit to Me.  Resist the devil and he will flee.  Bind those demonic spirits in My blood and loose My Spirit of truth whenever the devil tries to harass you.  When you do this you will always triumph through Me.

PREVAIL

I had just taught My disciples the pattern of prayer that you call the "Lord's prayer."  Then I encouraged them to be persistent in prayer.  I told them to ask and they would receive; seek and they would find; and knock and the door would be open to them.

I want you to not only be persistent in your prayers, but I also want you to prevail in prayer.  The word prevail means to be victorious, triumphant, predominant and to spread abroad.

During this virus crisis, I want you to gather My army together to pray prayers of victory and triumph.  There is no need to beg and plead in prayer because I was victorious over the devil when I died on the tree and was raised again.  Now I want you to enforce that victory through your prayers. You have the technology to gather together an army of prayer warriors throughout the world.  I have promised that the gates of hell will never prevail against the church. Your prevailing prayer will cause My enemy to flee.

LUKE 11; MATTHEW 16:18

SUFFICIENT

 Sufficient is a word that describes what many are going through during this virus crisis.  I said, "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.  Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."  

Many people are asking, "Will I have sufficient funds to get me through this crisis?"  Others are asking, "Will I have sufficient food and household goods because of the shortages?" My beloved Paul discovered the answer to these questions.

He learned that I was more than sufficient to meet his every need.  He learned to be content regardless of the circumstances because he knew that His sufficiency did not depend upon him.  He discovered the secret of facing life no matter what it holds.  Paul was self-sufficient in My sufficiency. My power and grace is always sufficient to get you through whatever you may face tomorrow.

PHIPPIANS 4:11-13


Friday, October 2, 2020

STUMBLE

 I know that there are many fears you may be experiencing during this virus crisis.  Most of those fears are based on what may happen in the future.  Those fears will only be able to invade your thoughts and your emotions if you lose your focus on Me.

The only way to keep from stumbling in the dark shadows of fear is to hold on to Me and My Word.  I do not want you to faint in the day of adversity. You will faint spiritually if your focus is on the negative and the darkness in this world.

The promise in my Word is that the righteous person may fall seven times, but he will rise again.  However, the wicked shall fall into mischief.  When you seek first My kingdom and My righteousness, I will always have My arms around you to pick you up and set you firmly on the path of My righteousness.

PROVERBS 24:10, 16

AUTHORITY

I want you to especially remember that during these days of turmoil in your nation that I have given you all authority in My name to come against the evil one.  I gave My disciples power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

You are My disciple if you continue in My Word.  I have given you the keys to the kingdom and I want you to use them to bind demonic spirits and to loose My Holy Spirit. 

There are many spirits of darkness in your nation that have the assignment to cause destruction to the freedom My body on Earth has to gather to pray and study My Word.  Cancel out those assignments and speak confusion to My enemy's strategy to come against My body on Earth.

LUKE 9:1; JOHN 8: 31-32; MATTHEW 16:19

Good

When the rich  young ruler asked Me what good thing he could do to have eternal life, I responded with this question, "Why do you call Me good? There is none good but One, that is God:"  My Father is good and He loves to give good gifts to His children.

Many have doubted My Father's goodness during these days of this virus crisis.  Many are saying that My Father is causing all of these bad things to happen on Earth.  They forget that since the Fall of mankind, Satan, the god of this world, has been having his way with the earth.

I want you to tell everyone about how good My Father is.  He sorrows that there has been such loss during this time, but He did not cause it.  Man's sinful nature caused it. 

LUKE 18:18-19; MATTHEW 7:11

ADMIT, REPENT, FORGET

Tomorrow is Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement).  This is the day that Jewish people confess the sins of the previous year and they pray that their names will be written in the Book of the Righteous.

The list of sins that they read out loud seems to cover everything, and that is just the problem. They believe that their confession will cover their sins. When I died on the tree, I  shed My blood as an atonement for the sins of the whole world.  I made it  possible for everyone who believes in Me to have their sins, transgressions, and iniquities removed.

As far as the east is from the west so far have I removed your transgressions from you. I still want you to confess (admit) your sins to Me.  I still want you to turn away from your sin (repent). When you do this, I drop your sins in the sea of My Forgetfulness.  Do not go fishing for them again.

PSALM 103:12; 1 JOHN 1:9-5-10

STREAMS

You now have the ability to live stream programs into the whole world.  This is no accident.  This is My plan to reach the world with My good news.  Pray for My anointing to be upon these live streaming programs that present Me as the One True God

Pray that anointing will go to every one who is watching.  Know that I will move heaven and earth to get My gospel spread.  I will not return until the My gospel is preached to every nation.  I watch over nations.

I am watching over your nation today, September 26, 2020, as believers gather in Washington to repent.  True repentance will usher in revival.  Keep asking.  Keep seeking Me.  Keep knocking until you see revival in your land.  Pray for the stream of My Holy Spirit to be poured upon the Earth.

TREASURE/TROPHY

Everyone born is a treasure to Me.  However, some have been bound by My enemy, and they do not realize yet how much I love them.  Pray for these treasures, and I want you to see everyone as the treasure they are to Me.

You have been blessed twice because I saw you as My special treasure when you were physically born.  When you were born again, you became not only My treasure, but also My trophy that I took out of the hands of My enemy.

When I died on the tree and ascended to heaven,  I took captivity captive.  This means that all who have been bound by My enemy were set free.  Many have not entered into this freedom because of unbelief.  Pray that those who are bound will receive Me as their Lord and Savior so at last they can walk in the freedom I purchased for them.

EPHESIANS 4:8 


Wednesday, September 23, 2020

DWELL

I want you to think about where you dwell and where I dwell.  I came to dwell in you when you accepted My invitation to believe in Me and to receive Me as your Lord and Savior.

I know it is an amazing fact that I would trust you to be the temple of the Holy Spirit, Who is the same Spirit that raised Me from the dead.  I prayed for all those who believe in Me to be one even as I and the Father are one, and that you would be one in us.

Right now, at this present moment, you are hid with Me in My Father. I want you to remember that you are dwelling in the safest and most secure place ever created.  When you receive this truth, all fear, worry and anxiety will leave you instantly even during these times of turmoil in your country.

BODY

Most everyone wants to be somebody and very few want to be a nobody.  I have given you a living body as a gift, and I want you to take care of that gift.  Those who believe in Me have the joy of housing My Holy Spirit in their earthen vessels.

Remember how I instructed Gideon to put lamps in earthen pitchers and then I told him to break those vessels and blow their trumpets so that the enemy would think that they were facing a mighty army.  The strategy worked and Gideon and his troop of 300 men won.

Some of you feel like broken earthen vessels, but I am planning on use broken vessels in this last great harvest of souls..  I have commanded the light to shine out of darkness into your heart to give you the light of  the knowledge of My Father's glory in My face so that the excellency of the power that I give you to demonstrate might be of Me and not of you.

GRACE/SUPPLICATION

The Jewish community is entering the Days of Awe (ten days of self-examination and repentance). I stand ready to heal your land when My body on Earth will turn from their own ways to Me.  

Repentance is turning away from those things that hinder our fellowship together. The 10 Days of Awe end with Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement).  

I have atoned for all of your sins, past, present and future.  However, I want you daily to be sensitive to My Holy Spirit and always ready to confess anything that is separating you from fellowship with Me. As you seek Me with all of your heart, I will pour upon you the Spirit of grace and supplication and you will be able to pray the prayers that I want you to pray for your nation, church, family and the world.

RESTORE

I am restoring the church (My true body on Earth) When a piece of furniture is restored, many steps have to be employed.  The old paint or varnish has to be removed through sanding.  The parts of the furniture that were not secure, need to be secured.  

Before new paint or varnish can be put on the furniture, it needs to be cleaned thoroughly. Finally the furniture is ready to be refinished, and it may take several layers of varnish of paint to make it shine.

I am taking these same steps as I restore My Body on Earth.  I am sanding, securing, cleaning, and shining the church.  As this world grows darker, the path of the just is as a shining light. The restoration process may be painful, but your lights will so shine before men that they will see your good works and glorify My Father in heaven.

MATTHEW 5:16; PROVERBS 4:18

REVEAL

The day will come when everything that has been hidden will be revealed.  People have a tendency to feel that they can hide their sins from Me.  I see everything and I know everyone's hearts.  Yes, even the sins of the hearts of mankind will one day be revealed.

Until that day when all is revealed, I want you to pray that I will bring to light even those things that are done in darkness during your lifetime.  When this happens, people will be able to finally understand that they they cannot get away with sin and that sin will cause consequences.

Pray for the uncovering of the lies that are being spoken in the media, political arenas, and even churches. I am shaking everything that can be shaken in order to establish once again righteousness in your land.

COMPLAINT/CONTENT

You have two choices that will affect your daily attitude as you face this continued virus crisis.  You can choose to complain or choose to be content.

When you read the life of My servant Paul, you will discover his secret to never giving up.  Yes, he was distraught, distressed, discouraged many times, but he never gave up.  He kept pressing on to reach the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. That call was to preach the gospel.

Paul learned to be content no matter what condition he faced.  He wrote in one of his letters to do everything without murmuring or complaining.  Paul knew the secret to enjoying My grace every day of his life.  That secret was to always have an attitude of gratitude.

PHILIPPIANS 2:14 3:14, 4:12

AROUND

 It is important that you have spiritual eyes to see what is going on in that realm where I am moving things into place as the prayers of My body on Earth are effective and avail much.

I will help you target your prayers so that you will be able to use the Keys to the Kingdom that I have given you to bind on Earth the demonic forces that are active now in your nation, and loose My Holy Spirit of truth to fight deception.

Do not look at the circumstances because circumstances are only a manifestation of what is going on in the spirit realm.  Never forget that there are more on your side than on the enemy's side.  I will open your eyes just like I opened the eyes of Elisha's servant when He saw My chariots surrounding the enemy's armies.

2 KINGS 6:15-17

VACATE

 I gave you this word because I want you to occupy until I return.  The word, "vacate," means to give up occupancy.  You live in My kingdom on Earth. I want you to stay in residence in that kingdom and actively welcome others to come into the residence of My kingdom.

As the troubles increase in the days before My return, many people just want to go on a vacation and forget about all the troubles.  You cannot take a vacation from My presence with you.  I will never leave you or forsake you.

I want you to occupy your position in My kingdom which is to abide in Me, abide in My Word, and abide in My love.  If you will do these three things, I will fill you with such joy that others will notice. My residence within your soul will display My peace, joy, and love to others.

ORIGINAL

The question people ask when they are about to buy a painting or some other work of art is:"Is this an original work?"  The value of something increases if you have an original piece of art.

Everything on Earth is original.  The origin of every thing that has ever been created both in heaven and in Earth both visible and invisible has its origin in Me. For by Me and for Me was everything created that has been created.

Thrones, dominions, and principalities, and powers were created by Me.  Sadly many on Earth do not recognize why they were created.  They were created for My pleasure, but many seek to pleasure themselves in ways that do not please Me.  Pray for those who do not yet know Me. They are of great value to Me.

COLOSSIANS 1:16; 2 TIMOTHY 3:2-4

Friday, September 11, 2020

URGENT

One of the tactics of My enemy is to distract My body on Earth from the urgency of prayer.  My Father chose the avenue of prayer as the vehicle that enables you to travel by faith into Our throne room where you will always obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

You can boldly enter My throne room of grace any time. I purchased that right for you when I laid down My blood was shed as a sacrifice for the sins of the world. 

The world has great needs right now, and you have been chosen to be My vessel to pray for My Father's will to be done on Earth even as it is in heaven. Make prayer your top priority now.

WINGS

 I remember the time that you thought you could fly.  You lacked two important things that would enable you to fly.  Those two things are wings.  There are many who are experiencing such hardship because of the conditions of this virus crisis and the violence in your land that they wish they could just fly away.

The psalmist David wrote: " Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.  Lo,  then I would wander far off, and remain in the wilderness.  I would make haste for my escape from the windy storm and tempest. Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues for I have seen violence and strife in the city.  Day and night they go about it upon the walls: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.  Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets."

These verses from Psalm 55:6-11 describe what is happening in your cities.  Use your spiritual weapons to come against the violence and lawlessness in your land.  Be not afraid.  You are under the shelter of My wings.

PSALM 55:6-11, 91:4

REDUCED

You love to have prices for gas and other necessary items reduced.  You would love to have the strength of this virus outbreak to be reduced.  There is something, however, that will never be reduced in your life.

My power cannot be reduced.  Yes, people can refuse to operate in the fullness of My power or even ignore the fact that I have power over all things, but I am all power and always will be all power.

So many in your nation fear what may happen next as you draw near to the upcoming election. You must remember these truths: "I have not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."  I also have given you all authority in My name to come against the power of My enemy.

2 TIMOTHY 1:7; LUKE 9:1

SEPERATION

 So many have experienced the separation from their loved ones during this virus crisis.  Many elderly are in nursing homes and assisted living places where even their family members are unable to visit them.  Many who have the virus are in the hospitals alone without family around them.

I have a heart of mercy, and My heart breaks when I see the suffering and deaths that have been caused by this virus.  Some people think I sent the virus, but if that were true, why did I teach My disciples to pray, "Thy Kingdom come and Thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven."

There is no sickness or death in heaven.  Pray for those who are suffering.  When I walked on Earth, I was flesh, but also divine.  It was impossible for Me to reach all the suffering.  However, you are My body on Earth, and I have empowered you to do the same works I did on Earth and even greater works.

MATTHEW 6:10;;JOHN 14:12

RESOUND

The word, "resound," means to reverberate or to fill the atmosphere with a loud, echoing sound.  I gave you this word today because I want you to pray that My truth will resound in your city, state, and nation.

So many lies, false facts, and negative words are being repeated in the media.  To combat this, I want those in the My body on Earth to condemn all those words of judgment that have been spoken over your nation and your president.

Your right as a saint of the Lord is to condemn every word of judgment and to declare that no weapon that has been formed against My church and your nation will prosper.  Ask for My Spirit of truth to broadcast the truth to people.  I am the truth, and I can dispel all lies, but you need to give My truths voice on Earth. My angels hearken to the voice of My Word.

ISAIAH 54:17; PSALM 103:20

STAND

 After the first born of the Egyptians were killed, Pharaoh finally let the children of Israel go.  They went by the way of the wilderness.  The children of Israel were greatly afraid when they saw the Egyptians in the chariots chasing after them.

Moses told them to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord which He would show them that very day. He told them that the Egyptians that they saw then, they would see no more.

I want you to be as confident as Moses was in My power to deliver you from your enemies.  Right now you are experiencing an out break of lawlessness in your nation, but I say to you the same words Moses said to the children of Israel.  Do not be afraid, but stand and see how I can save you from your enemies.

EXODUS 14:13

GATHERING

You are about to enter the season of the gathering of the Fall harvest.  I said to My disciples that the harvest was truly plenteous, but the laborers were few. I asked them to pray that more laborers be sent to gather in the harvest.

Large gatherings of people have been limited since this virus crisis has enveloped the world.  Many churches are still closed, but this has not stopped My Spirit from moving upon My people.  In fact, many are spending more time in prayer because they have more time to spend in prayer.

I have allowed this pandemic to fine tune My body on Earth to hear My voice and to recognize the power of prayer.  There will be a great harvest of souls before I return. Use your time wisely now to prepare your heart to be ready to labor in this harvest.  Spend much intimate time with Me.

MATTHEW 9:37

SECRETS

There is nothing hidden that will not be manifested; neither is any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. These were My words many years ago and they still are true.

I humbled Myself and became a man, but I was also God in the flesh.  Because I became flesh and blood, My Father has given Me power over all flesh.  He has given Me the ability to judge the secrets of men's hearts. 

It is important that you pray now for Me to reveal and expose the hearts of those who are demonically inspired to try to cause lawlessness and the destruction of righteousness in your nation. My light will expose the darkness as you are faithful to pray.

MARK 4;22; LUKE 8:17

SINCERE

 I have sincere love for you. A sincere person is faithful, trustworthy, and truthful..  I am faithful to help you and to deliver you from affliction.  My Word says that many are the afflictions of the righteous, but I deliver the righteous out of them all.

I am trustworthy.  When you trust Me with all of your heart and refuse to lean on your own understanding, and you also acknowledge Me in all your ways, I have promised to direct your path. During these uncertain times caused by this virus crisis, My enemy wants you to doubt that I have a plan, purpose, and path for you.  

The truth is that I not only have a plan, purpose, and path for you, but I also have sent My Holy Spirit to  empower you to fulfill My plan and purpose for you.  Believe this with all of your heart and delight today in My sincere love for you. When you believe this, I will reveal My path to you. 

PSALM 34:19; PROVERBS 3:5-6; PSALM 37:23

SOLID

Your faith during this virus crisis has to be built on a solid substance called hope.  It is easy for your faith to waver during these critical times because most reports over the media are negative. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1)."

The solid substance of faith is hope that comes from placing all your hope in Me and My promises. Prayer travels a highway to heaven, and that highway is called "Faith."  The "Highway of Faith" is paved with a the solid substance called "Hope."

Today review the promises in My Word and begin to declare those promises out loud.  When you do this, faith will arise. Place your hope in Me and My righteousness. Thank Me today that faith and hope are eternal, and that they will always overcome the negative reports that flood the atmosphere.

HEBREWS 11:1; 1 CORINTHIANS 13:13

SAFE

This is the question many are asking:  "Is it safe now to go out more after this long period of sheltering?"  The virus crisis is still with you. This is why you need to pray this prayer daily to Me: "Lord, put me in the right place at the right time."

I sent My Holy Spirit to guide and direct you and to show you things to come.  Listen carefully to that still quiet voice within you before you decide where to go and when to go out from your shelter.

I did not cause this virus, but I will use this virus crisis to help you spend more time listening to My voice within you. You are in training for what is ahead.  There will be more persecution of believers in the future. If you will listen and do My commandments, I have promised to bless you when you come in and when you go out.

JOHN 16:13; DEUTERONOMY 28:1, 6

IDOLS

One of the main idols that existed in the days when I walked on Earth was "religion."  My Jewish people spent hours in the synagogues, but their devotion to keeping the Sabbath by going to synagogue would never qualify them to receive eternal life.

The Pharisees felt that they could earn their way into heaven by doing good works and following the law.  I taught what eternal life is and I prayed that those who lived after I went to heaven would understand what eternal life is all about.

My beloved John recorded My words when I prayed this for all those who one day would believe in Me: "And this is life eternal, that they might know You the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent." If you truly know Me and believe that I died on the cross and was raised again to save you from your sins, and you confessed and turned away from your sins, then you will spend eternity with Me.

JOHN 17:3

Friday, August 28, 2020

STORE

Many are advising people to begin to store up essentials for survival in order to be ready for critical times ahead.  You experienced the shortage of many things when the virus began because people horded essentials.

When I walked on Earth I had just the bare essentials in a bag I carried on My back.  I had confidence that My Father would take care of My needs as long as I desired daily to do His will,

It is prudent to be prepared for emergencies.  Joseph stored grain for the famine that he knew was coming. He stored wisely in order to save people during the famine.  This should be your heart attitude as you face future crises.  My Father is a giver, and My joy fills your heart as you prepare in order to help others.

MATTHEW 5:42; GENESIS 41:46-49; 2 CORINTHIANS 9:7

ASSIGNMENT

When I walked on Earth, I got up to pray a great deal before sunrise.  I needed to talk with My heavenly Father about the assignments He had for me that day.

Each day you have works to do that My Father designed from the foundation of the Earth for you to finish. As you listen carefully to My Spirit and trust Him to speak to you about the next thing you should do or say, you will fulfill your daily assignment.

Your assignment to complete today might just be to call to encourage or to pray with a friend.  Often it is the small things in life that can change a life forever.  Be open to My Spirit today and ask Him to lead and guide you to finish your daily assignments. At the end of My life, I told My Father that I had finished the work He gave Me to do.

RESTRICTIONS

 I can understand how many are weary of having restrictions on their lives. This virus crisis has restricted people from gathering together, attending their places of worship, and many other restrictions.

It is so easy to complain when things are difficult and restricted. I want you to think about My servant Paul and all that he had to put up with as he went from church to church to help strengthen the brethren. His life was threatened on many occasions and one time he was stoned and left for dead.  

Paul had much to complain about.  Yet, he wrote:"do everything without murmuring or disputing."  Pray daily for My Holy Spirit to help you not to complain.  Paul also wrote that we are to give thanks in everything and for everything.  Spend your days in thanksgiving and you will have little time to complain.

DISSOLVE

 I gave you this word because the word, "dissolve," means to disintegrate or to terminate.  This word also means to liquefy or to make a solution.

Many are praying for this virus to dissolve and loosen its grip on the world. I am the solution to this crisis, and communication with Me during this virus crisis is vital.  Pray for My body, those redeemed by My blood, to repent from going the world's way instead of My way.

The only liquid that will be able to dissolve this crisis is the water of My Word declared out loud in prayer and the power of the water of My Spirit released through My anointing upon those Who believe in Me. 

1 JOHN 5:8; EPHESIANS 5:26; TITUS 3:5

Sunday, August 23, 2020

RESTRAINTS

When chaos and lawlessness reign, it is a sign that people want to be free from all restraints.  My Father put the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil in the garden as a restraint on Adam and Eve.  He told them that they could eat of every tree in the garden, but they were not to eat of the Tree of Knowledge because if they did they would surely die.

God placed that tree in the garden to give a choice to Adam and Eve.  They could choose to follow the commandment of My Father or they could choose to do what seemed right in their own eyes. They chose to disobey My Father's command and because of that sin entered the world.

If this restraining order had not been given to Adam and Eve, they would never have the choice to obey or disobey My Father.  My Father wanted them to choose to obey.  We have free will today to choose to love Me by obeying My commandments or to disobey Me.  Love is not love unless you have a choice to love.

GENESIS 2:17

Friday, August 21, 2020

REGARD

 It is easy to go through life without regarding what life is all about.  The word, "regard" means to consider or to evaluate.  I have seen how many in your culture today lack purpose.  The questions people ask about life such as, "Who am I? "What am I here for?" and "What is important or not important in life?" are often left unanswered.

When I taught on Earth, I wanted people to know the answers to these questions. I taught about the kingdom, and I wanted them to enter My kingdom.  I knew that if they entered My kingdom by being born of the Spirit, they would know who they are, what they are here for and what is really important in life.

Rejoice today because you know who you are and why you are here.  You are My Father's child who has the same purpose I had when I was on Earth.  I came to Earth to glorify My Father which means to reveal His love and His presence to others.  You are here to glorify Me and My Father to others.  Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify My Father Who is in heaven,

MATTHEW 5:18

REIGN

The question many are asking just before this election is: "Who will reign as president?" Promotion does not come from the east or the west.  It comes from Me.  I am the One Who places leaders in a land in order to fulfill My purposes.

The prayers of My body on Earth will avail much as believers in Me  humble themselves and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways.  I will then hear from heaven and heal their land.  

I know that every believer wants righteousness to reign.  Be encouraged today for I am hearing the voice of many today. Rejoice because I am the One Who reigns over the heathen, and I will judge the people righteously.

AWAKE

During the time of this pandemic, I am awakening My church to see the importance of prayer.  When you pray the prayer I gave My disciples (the one you call the Lord's prayer), I told them to pray, "Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in haven."

Prayer is the only avenue that My Father has chosen to change nations, people, and situations on Earth.  Your mandate as a member of the body of Christ is to pray My heaven down to Earth.

I will use this time when it seems that fear is enveloping many non believers to infuse My strength, My power, and My glory into the body of Christ on Earth.  This will only happen as you spend more time  than ever in prayer.  PRAY, PRAY !! One of My last instructions to My disciples was: "Watch and Pray."

MATTHEW 6:10, 26:41; MARK 13:33

RETURN

The pause that this pandemic has caused in many lives has caused many to anxiously await the day when things will be normal again.  Some say that life in this world will never be the same again.

Such statements could spiral you into a depression.  I want to share the good news with you that will cause you to meet each day, no matter what it may hold, with joy.

You are not a citizen of this world.  You are a citizen of heaven, and you live in My kingdom while you are on Earth.  My kingdom does not change because I am a changeless God.  I am the same yesterday and today, and forever.  Your life is hid with Me in My Father's heart.  Rejoice because even though the world is changing, you can experience My righteousness, peace and joy in My Spirit every day.

FORWARD

 Sometimes you feel like you just cannot move forward.  It almost feels like there is a wall that you cannot surmount.  It is during those times that you need to ask Me for the gift of faith.  My adversary wants you to be overwhelmed by doubt in yourself and even doubt in Me.

The psalmist David went through times like that when he even doubted if I was still with him.  I was able to dispense My gift of faith to him the minute he turned his eyes from his own battle to Me.  Once he began to worship Me, he forgot about how unworthy he felt to move ahead.

Today build your spirit up by just simply worshiping Me. Sing to Me.  You can sing hymns and make melody in your heart.  Your praise and worship will dispel My enemy's plan to block your spiritual progress.

EPHESIANS 5:18-20

Thursday, August 13, 2020

ORDER

This virus crisis has caused many lives to be out of order.  The routines of going to work and school as usual have been interrupted.  I can put  things in order in your life even during this pandemic. 

I want you to give each day completely into My hands.  My Holy Spirit then can establish your thoughts as you give Him your "To Do List."  There is something very comforting about order.

I want  you to meditate on this promise in PSALM 37:23:  The promise in this Psalm is that your steps will be ordered as you delight in My way.  Spend time each day just thanking Me for ordering your day.

PSALM 37:23; PROVERBS 16:3

ADVANTAGE

So many are concerned about the future conditions of the world since this virus crisis came so suddenly and made such an impact on the lives of everyone.  However, because you are trusting Me with your future, you have an advantage over many who are anxious or even fearful about their future.

I am able to give a peace that passes human understanding in the midst of every trial. People want peace of mind now, and I want you to take every opportunity to share how they can embrace this peace.

Pray that every believer will be prepared to share with others the reason for their peace and hope in a world that seems to be falling apart.

JOHN 14:27, 16:33

Tuesday, August 11, 2020

BOUNDARIES

You will hear the phrase, "You must set boundaries," from counselors who are dealing with people who have been bound by certain addictions, abusive actions or who are co-dependent.  Boundaries are important if you want to break certain strongholds (old patterns of thinking) in your mind.

I have created for you boundaries that provide not only a safe place from abusive, addictive behavior.  I have given you the boundaries of My Kingdom on Earth.  This is why I exhorted My disciples to seek first the Kingdom of God and My righteousness and then all your earthly needs will be met.

If you want to destroy addictive, abusive, or co-dependent strongholds in your life, you must put Me first in your everyday life.  When you do, you can live in the boundaries of My Kingdom on Earth which are My righteousness, peace and joy in My Spirit.  Seek Me today with all of your heart.

MATTHEW 6:33

Monday, August 10, 2020

PAVILION

 I have prepared a pavilion that you can hide in when times of trouble come.  It is a secret tabernacle that you can go to when circumstances begin to overwhelm you.  That pavilion is under the shelter of My wings where I dwell.

Whenever you have anxious or fearful thoughts, I want you to take time to enter My pavilion.  You can enter My pavilion simply by acknowledging My presence with you.  I have promised to be with you always, but often you are too busy to recognize My presence with you.

When you come to Me, the strife of tongues that broadcast alarming news will be silenced as you spend time with Me.  Here in this quiet pavilion of My presence, you will be able to hear My voice as My Holy Spirit encourages you to be not afraid.

PSALM 27:5, 31:20

Sunday, August 9, 2020

INHERITANCE

I gave you the word, "Inheritance," today because I want you to realize what your inheritance is.  An inheritance is ownership by virtue of birthright.  This is the definition of an inheritance.

Because you have been born of My Spirit, you are now a joint heir with Me.  Your inheritance includes all heavenly blessings which include the fact that you are without blame and made holy by My righteousness that was freely given to you when I died to forgive you of all your sins.

You have inherited total forgiveness and redemption because I purchased this for you by My shed blood.  This means that you are accepted as one of My beloved.  Rejoice today because you have inherited all the riches in glory that I enjoy.

ROMANS 8:17; EPHESIANS 1:3-6

Saturday, August 8, 2020

DISCIPLINE

 Discipline is a word that few like to hear.  This word is defined as training that develops self-control, character, orderliness, and efficiency.  When I walked on Earth I taught My disciples with the hope that they would develop these attributes of discipline in their lives.

As you know, My disciples had little discipline when I became their teacher.  I was patient and merciful with My disciples because I knew the day would come when they would be disciplined.

It was not until My Holy Spirit empowered them at Pentecost to be effective witnesses in this world that they finally developed discipline in their spiritual growth.  Look at what happened to My disciples after they were empowered.  This should give you great hope. When you allow My Spirit to empower you, you also can be disciplined in your spiritual growth.  Receive My power today.

ARMIES

 I have legions of angels at My disposal that can be released as you intercede for your nation and the world.  Angels are activated when you give My Word voice.  

The strategy for you and all believers who know the power of prayer is to begin to decree and make declarations from My Word.  My Word never returns void.  It always accomplishes what I send it out to do.

I am calling every believer to labor in prayer for their nation and the world in these critical days.  Pray that My body on Earth will be used as effective vessels of prayer as they use the keys to the kingdom that I have given them to bind demonic powers and to loose My angel armies.

PSALM 103:20; MATTHEW 9:38; ISAIAH 55:11

Thursday, August 6, 2020

BREAK

I want you to pray and break the bondage of fear that is over your nation.  All that My enemy has released through demonstrations, violence, and the virus has caused many to fear.  

I have not given the spirit of fear, but I have given the Spirit of adoption. that will enable people to know My Father. Many of the people who are in fear have broken hearts that have resulted from abandonment, accusations, and physical, emotional, or sexual abuse.

I came to break all bondage to fear and replace that fear with My Spirit of Power, Love and a Sound Mind. Those who are in fear are also confused.  Bind the spirit of fear and curse the fruit of confusion over your nation.  Release the Spirit of adoption, Power, Love and a Sound mind over your nation.

ROMANS 8:15; 2 TIMOTHY 1:7

LIST

Many people make "To Do Lists" early in the morning before the day begins when there are many distractions that prevent their"To Do List" from being fulfilled.

There is a list that I want you to consider every morning.  It is not a "To Do List."  It is a "Done List."
Everyone who has received Me as their Lord and Savior will be filled with joy as they review this "Done List."

Here is the "Done List."  Through Me, you have received the wisdom of God. Through Me you have been made acceptable to God because I imparted My righteousness to you.  Through Me you have been set apart to do My Father's will, and through Me you have been ransomed from the penalty for sin. Rejoice today because I have done these things for you. 

1 CORINTHIANS 1:30

Tuesday, August 4, 2020

NETWORK

During this virus crisis, many people are networking to find jobs and other ways of meeting their needs.
There are many search engines on computers that people can use to help them.

When I walked on Earth, we had no computers, social media, or any of the technical advantages that you have in your age.  I had to depend solely on the instructions that My Father gave Me as I prayed to Him before daylight every morning.

My Holy Spirit can guide you the same way I was guided. When you ask for the help of My Holy Spirit, He will be able to help you with whatever need you may have.  He is the "Supreme Net worker."

JOHN 16:13

Monday, August 3, 2020

BEGINNING

I died to give those in the world a chance to have a new beginning.  I told Nicodemus that he must be born again in order to see or enter My Kingdom.  He did not understand what I meant.

Multitudes of people who have received Me as their Lord and Savior do understand what it means to be born of the Spirit.  Revival is now taking place in many areas in your country.  Pray for many more souls to be born again.

People Who have been born again by My Spirit have a new beginning that will never end.  They have a fresh start and a purpose for life that will last for all eternity. 

JOHN 3:5-21

Sunday, August 2, 2020

SERVANT

I was with My disciples and I said this to them, "Henceforth I call you not servants, for the servant does not know what his lord does, but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard of My Father I have made known unto you (John 15:15)."

I shared these words with My disciples at My last Passover celebration with them.  I then told them that I had "chosen them to go and bring forth fruit, and that their fruit should remain that whatsoever they asked of the Father in My name, He may give it to them (John 15:16)."

I have chosen you to be alive at this time when it seems like the world is falling apart. I want you also to go and bring forth fruit that will remain. I want you to speak the truth of My gospel to many.

JOHN 15:15-17

CARE TAKER

There are many today crying out for help because of the challenges they face during this virus crisis. 

Those who believe in Me have the privilege of releasing all their cares to Me because they trust Me to help them, and they know that I care for them.

Pray for those you know who do not know where to turn to for help during these trying times. When they believe and receive Me as their Lord and Savior, I become their "Care Taker," Who can unburden them from all their cares.

1 PETER 5:7

Friday, July 31, 2020

REQUIRE

The prophet Micah spoke about what My Father requires of a person.  He said, "He has shown you, O man, what is good, and what does the Lord require of you, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God (Micah 6:8).

I came to make it possible for people to receive Me into their hearts so that I can work through them to help them to be able to do justly, love mercy, and to walk humbly with Me.

This pandemic has caused people all over the world to do without many worldly pleasures.  The distractions that have taken so many away from any thought of Me and my purpose for them on earth.have become less.  This pandemic is causing those who believe in Me to seek Me and require Me as their greatest need. When you seek first My kingdom, then I will meet your needs.

MICAH 6:8; PHILIPPIANS 2:13; PSALM 24:6

SECURE

One of the fruits of this virus crisis that many are experiencing is insecurity.  Many have lost their jobs, and the security of being paid a regular salary at a future job is not guaranteed. 

As you venture to places that have just reopened, you ask the question:"Is this a secure place where I will not be exposed to this virus?"  The inability to make plans for the future also causes you to feel insecure.

When those feelings of insecurity invade your thought life, fear can easily take over your emotions.  I have provided a secure place for you to dwell.  Remember you are in My Kingdom on Earth, and you are a citizen of heaven.  Rejoice because you are hid with Me in My Father's heart. This truth will help you feel secure.

COLOSSIANS 3:3

Wednesday, July 29, 2020

CONDEMN

I did not come into the world to condemn the world, but to offer people a way their sins can be forgiven. I took upon Myself the sins of the whole world so that every person who believes in Me can be forgiven of their sins and restored to a right relationship with My Father.

Condemning thoughts do not come from Me.  They come from My adversary who wants people to be imprisoned by condemnation.  Everyone on Earth sins and falls short of My Father's glory. 

Be honest with Me and never try to cover your own sins through lies.  Bring to My light every sin through confessing your sins to Me. Then receive My forgiveness.  If your own heart condemns you for past sins, recognize that I am greater than your heart.  Forgive yourself and refuse enter the prison of self-condemnation.

JOHN 3:16-17; 1 JOHN 3:20

RUSH//REVELATION

People in your age have been in such a rush.  Most everyone wants things done instantly.  You can even receive packages now the next day after you place an order.  I have not caused this virus crisis, but I am using this crisis to slow people down.

No one can truly appreciate the beauty of My earth if they are in such a rush to make the next appointment or to go to the next event. Paul wrote that My Father has revealed Himself to the world through the things He made.  He wrote that all of nature shouts the existence of the Godhead (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), so no one has an excuse not to believe in Me. 

Pray for those who do not believe in Me to recognize the revelation of My presence in all of nature. Pray that they then will be receptive to  reading and receiving My full revelation in My Word.

ROMANS 1:19-20

Monday, July 27, 2020

ENCOUNTER

I had many encounters with people when I walked around the Galilee and taught in the synagogues.  The main purpose of every encounter I had was to reveal the power, authority, and character of My heavenly Father.

Your encounters with many people has been limited during this virus crisis.  This is why I want you to see every encounter as a divine appointment to share My love and good news with them.

Every person you meet is going through the same virus crisis that you are experiencing.  Share with them how I am helping and strengthening you day by day to get through this crisis.

2 CORINTHIANS 1:3-4

TOUCH

I created human beings to love being touched by others.  When I walked along the Galilee, I touched those who came to Me.  I even gave a second touch to a blind man who came to Me for healing. 

During this virus crisis, so many people are missing being physically hugged by their friends. My desire is to touch those who are lonely and feel forsaken or abandoned.  I am able to touch many troubled hearts who are fearful and anxious about the world's situation now.

My prayer is that you will lift in prayer those who you know are totally isolated even from their families at this time.  Pray that My presence would be so real to them that they will feel My comfort. In My presence is fullness of joy, and My joy will strengthen them to get through these times.

MARK 8:22-25

RELIGION

The constitution of your nation guarantees freedom of religion.  Now that many churches are closed because of the worldwide virus crisis, I want you to discover how religion can prevent you from having an intimate relationship with Me.

I was against the religious leaders when I walked on Earth because they felt that by observing their traditions and laws they were in right standing with My Father in heaven. No one is made righteous by keeping the law. Only by grace through faith in Me can a person be made righteous.

True Christianity is not a religion.  It is an intimate relationship with My heavenly Father that can only occur when a person repents from their sins and believes and trusts in Me as their Lord and Savior. Pray for those you know who believe that good deeds can save them.

FALL

The relationship My Father had with mankind was broken when Adam and Eve disobeyed Him.  Ever since the Fall, people have fallen for the lies of My enemy.  Many have believed the lie that I am not a loving God. 

The truth is that My Father so loved the world that He sent Me to restore mankind to My Father.  I paid the penalty for your sins, and now because you have believed in and received Me as your Lord and Savior, you can enjoy an eternal relationship with Me and My Father.

I also sent My Holy Spirit to help keep you from falling from fellowship with Me. Daily I stoop down to be face to face with you. I have my hands outstretched to catch you before you fall just like a loving father trains his little one to walk.  Keep walking towards Me daily and I will order your steps.

JOHN 3:16-17 ;PSALM 37:23
