RESTORE/REESTABLISH

There are many theories about when I will return. However, the prophet Malachi prophesied that I was going to send Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord. His message will be reconciliation that produces repentance because he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the children to their fathers.

When Peter, James and John were coming down from the mountain after I was transfigured, they asked Me why the scribes said that Elijah must come first, and I answered them that Elijah does come first and restores and reestablishes all things. Then I told them that Elijah had already come.  I was speaking of John the Baptist.

Just as John the Baptist under the anointing of the spirit of Elijah prepared the way for My ministry on Earth, the spirit of Elijah is now preparing the way for the great harvest time when I will minister through My body on Earth, and they will do even greater works than I did during this harvest time.

MALACHI 4:5-6; MARK 9:9-13

OVERWHELMING

You are living in overwhelming times in your nation, but do not be overwhelmed with worry or fear.  I have secured a way for you to have peace in the midst of the stormy seas of politics and upheavals of power.  

Worry is negative meditation.  When I walked on Earth there was no media, and this saved many from carrying the weight of negativity in their minds.  

The way out of worry is easy.  The moment you feel overwhelmed with worry or fear, pray. Give your feelings to Me, and trust Me to send you My peace that passes your understanding. Keep your focus on Me. I am your caretaker. So give Me your every care because I care for you.

PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7;1 PETER 5:6-7

ACTION

I am God in the flesh, so as a flesh person, I had to receive the empowerment of the Holy Spirit in order to fulfill My Father's daily assignments.  I received the Holy Spirit empowerment for ministry when I was baptized. 

I told My disciples that it was expedient that I go away so that the Holy Spirit, the comforter, could come.  I told them that I would not leave them as orphans.  Because you now have the very Spirit that raised Me from the dead within you, you will be empowered by the Holy Spirit to do even greater works than I did.

Yield yourself every day to the Holy Spirit and put into action the assignments you are given in this harvest time. Expect to do the greater works because it will be My Father Who works within you both to give you the will to do His will and it is My Holy Spirit within you Who will empower you to do My Father's good pleasure.

HOHN 16:7; 14:12, 26; PHILIPPIANS 2:13

DISMISS

When you were in school, you loved to hear the words, "Class dismissed."  However, there are things that happen in life that cause you great concern when  appeals for justice are made, and they are dismissed without even an investigation of the legality of such appeals.

Give thanks and praise to Me because I am a just God.  There is no criminal action or illegal decision that is made that I do not see.  I do not dismiss such matters on Earth.  

When injustice is reigning in your nation, make your appeal to Me.  Cry out to Me for justice, and My justice will be employed.  Pray for leaders in your nation to be Godly men and women who come to My throne room for wisdom.  Pray for just people in your nation to become leaders who will hear My voice of wisdom, justice, and mercy.

JOB 37:23

WATCH

I have noticed that the generation that you are experiencing now is a "Watching Generation."  People are watching TV, computers, sports, entertainment, phones, games, and many other things.  This generation has become a spectator generation.

I gave My disciples two instructions when the end of My life on Earth was drawing near.  Those two instructions were "Watch and Pray."  I wanted them to learn to watch out for the devil and his schemes.  I wanted them to learn how to pray.

Distraction is one of the main schemes of My enemy, and unfortunately that scheme has had too much success in your nation and nations throughout the world.  Make it your goal to no longer be a spectator. Instead, become a watchman on the wall.  I call you as a watchman to participate in warfare prayer when you see My enemy gaining ground in your nation, home, and church.

 MATTHEW 26:41

IDENTIFICATION

You are required to show your identification often in the age that you live.  Sometimes a picture identification is required.  I have your identification written on the palms of My hands.

Now you are even able to see the face of a person when you talk with them on the phone.  My Word often exhorts you and other believers to seek My face.  I know that some believers have had visions of My face, but you can seek My face by just spending time with Me in prayer and the study of My Word.

One day you will see Me face to face, but until then, you can be confident that I can see your face every morning and hear your voice as you spend your time communicating with Me in prayer.  I exhort you to take this time every morning before the day gets underway.

ISAIAH 49:16

SUSTAIN

 I chose this word because you are going through dark times in your nation and other nations are experiencing the same oppression.  The prince of darkness is My enemy. the devil, but you have something that will sustain you through the darkest of times.

The word, "sustain" means to carry the burden or to supply what is necessary."  The sustaining power you have and that all believers have is My joy.  I am the one who wants to carry your burdens so that your load will be lightened.

My joy is your strength.  Even when mourning comes at night, My joy will come in the morning as you trust in Me. 

NEHEMIAH 9:10; ISAIAH 61:3 

EMPHATIC

Statements that are made are sometimes called emphatic statements which means the words spoken in those statements are forcible, striking and definite.  My Word is filled with emphatic statements.

I made an emphatic statement when I said, ""I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by Me."  Many believe that there is a god, but no one can know My Father, the One true God, unless they know and believe in Me first.

I want everyone on this Earth to know My Father personally.  Many have said they believe in the man upstairs, but they do not really know My Father.  To have an intimate relationship with My Father, I am the only way people can know Him as Abba, their loving Father.  I came on Earth to reveal My Father's love to the world so that anyone who believes that I came to Earth, was crucified, dead, buried and raised again will be saved and will be able to know My Father's personal love for them. 

JOHN 14:6

LIFT OFF

"LIFT OFF!!" are the exciting exclamations shouted when a rocket finally takes off.  Years of intricate work and team work were invested in that one successful lift off.  With a countdown from 10 down to 1 that investment takes off to its assigned destination to deliver a payload that also was designed to fulfill a mission long awaited.

When someone dear to you dies, it might help you to think of that appointed time as "LIFT OFF" time. The mission of  your loved one on Earth has been completed, but the payload that is left that reveals the years of invested time remains functioning not only in your memory, but also in the fruits and legacies on Earth that this person left.

Your dear beloved sister is about to experience "LIFT OFF."  She will join Me and live with Me and her loved ones who also lifted off years ago.  Just as there are shouts of joy when a rocket delivers what it was intended to deliver, there is great rejoicing in heaven when she arrives. When she sees Me face to face, I will say, "Well done, My good and faithful servant.  You have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things: enter into the joy of your LORD." MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!

MATTHEW 25:23

EMISSARY

An emissary is an agent sent on a specific mission.  My body on Earth are all called to be emissaries.  The mission I send them on is to preach the gospel of My kingdom on Earth.

You may say, "Well, I am no preacher."  However, you preach to people daily by the way you live.  When you allow My light to shine through you and others see your good works, that light within you will penetrate the darkness that exists in so many lives now on Earth.

When people see the joy, peace, and walk in righteousness that you are walking, they are influenced and drawn to know what makes you different.  This gives you the opportunity to share your testimony. A great harvest time of souls has already begun.  Get ready to be an emissary for Me.

MATTHEW 5:16 

FAINTED

My beloved David went through so many wilderness experiences.  His life was one of flight or fright.  The key to his victory in so many situations was that He trusted in Me and remembered My goodness.

David was a man of war who learned to fight against the his flesh enemies as well as his spiritual enemies sent by My adversary.  Many times he was depressed and heavy of heart, but when he remembered My goodness, he worshipped and praised Me and the spirit of heaviness left him.

David wrote these words: "I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living." When Moses asked My Father to show him His glory, My Father allowed His goodness to pass by Moses.  My goodness is My glory and as you go through the wilderness in your nation, I want you to see My goodness even in the midst of these dark times.

PSALM 27:13

DELIGHT

You are My delight.  I know you cannot believe My words right now, but what I said is true.  I delight in you, not because of what you do or what you say.  I delight in you because you belong to Me.

Before you were born and even before the foundation of the Earth, I chose you to be in My family.  You did not recognize that I chose you until you were born again, but I knew that you would make that choice.

The heavens rejoiced when you made that decision.  Nothing can separate you from Me, and when it is your time to be with Me face to face, you will understand how My hand has been upon your life continually.  Delight yourself in Me every day by submitting your day and your way to Me.  When you do this, you will be able to finish the work I have assigned you to do while you are still on Earth.

PSALM 37:4-6

TARGET

When I walked on Earth I knew the targets that My Father wanted Me to hit with My Father's Word and with His power.  As I walked the Sea and went into Jerusalem, My Father shined a light on the people He wanted Me to speak to, to touch, to deliver, and to minister to with the power of the Holy Spirit.

John wrote that if you say you abide in Me, you also  are to walk even as I walked. You say to yourself, "this is impossible because I am not You, Jesus."  I hear that, but you are My body on Earth.  Have I not promised that the works that you will  do on Earth will be even greater than the works I did.

The secret to doing the greater works is simple.  Meet Me in the morning   I met with My Father every morning and I told Him that I only wanted to do what He had planned for Me that day.  When you sincerely only want to do My will just as I only wanted to do My Father's will, the greater works will come. He will target your day.

1 JOHN 2:6; JOHN 14:12

DISCERNMENT

Only My Holy Spirit can give you keen discernment, and this is what you need as a flood of lies has been spewed our of the mouth of My enemy.  I called the devil the Father of Lies and that he is.

The only weapon you have against those lies is My Word which is the sword of the Spirit created to divide the soul from the spirit.  My Word is alive and it is able to even discern the thoughts and intents of the hearts of others.

Pray that My Spirit will help you discern, and stay in My Word during these crucial times in your nation.  Also pray that every lie will be exposed and rendered powerless to affect the minds in your nation.

JOHN 8:44; HEBREWS 4:12

AVERAGE

When asked the question, "How was your day?" people sometimes reply, "Well it was an average day." Nothing is average about My Kingdom on Earth.  When  you received Me as your Lord and Savior, you entered My kingdom of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit..  

When you daily enjoy communication with Me, you will enter My joy.  When you cast all of your cares upon Me, you will have My peace.  When you know that I have the power to lead you in paths of My righteousness, you will not have to fear anything in this life again.

When you seek first My kingdom and My righteousness every day, then your days will never be average.  They will be glorious.

MATTHEW 6:33

DECISIONS

There are many decisions being made by the new leaders in your government.  Many of those decisions are strictly against My Word.  I know it is hard for you to pray for such leaders, but My Word tells you that you should pray for those in authority over you so that you can lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

Daily I want you to lift up those in leadership even though you do not agree with their decisions.  Pray that they will come to know Me so that they can have wisdom to make the right decisions.

Pray for those in government who do know Me to stand against ungodly decisions. Pray that their influence will make a difference.

1 TIMOTHY 2:2

OVERWHELM

The possibility of being persecuted for My sake in your nation  that was founded for religious freedom is overwhelming.  However, persecution always precedes revival.

It was persecution of believers when I walked on Earth that caused My good news to spread.  Do not be fearful when the persecution of believers increases in your nation.  Instead persevere in prayer for the gospel to be spread to every nation.  

When I was asked what the sign of My coming and the end of the world would be, I shared about the overwhelming persecution that would precede My return.  Then I shared that the end would not come until the gospel of My kingdom was preached in all the world for a witness to all nations. Keep praying.

MATTHEW 24

BLAME

It is human nature to blame others for your own failures.  When you do this, you are refusing to be honest with Me.  We see this when Adam and Eve were in the garden.

Adam and Eve set the pattern of blame in the very beginning of mankind.  After Eve ate the forbidden fruit, she gave it to Adam.  When they both were confronted by My Father, Adam blamed Eve and Eve blamed the serpent for their disobedience.

Adam still had the choice to eat the fruit or to obey God when Eve offered the fruit to him.. Eve blamed the serpent for persuading her to eat the forbidden fruit, but Eve also had a choice to obey God and refuse to eat the fruit.  Life is made of choices.  This day choose who you will serve. Commit to serve Me today.

GENESIS 3:11-13; JOSHUA 24:15

ANCIENT

I have heard the expression, "Well, that is ancient history!"  People say this because they do not want to review past mistakes and failings.  However, My Word encourages believers to look at ancient history.  The stories in My Word are historical facts that are of great value to review many times.

When you read the story of the children of Israel in the wilderness, you learn that it was the sin of unbelief that kept them from claiming and enjoying all My Father had promised them. 

History repeats itself because now My enemy is trying desperately to deceive and seduce believers into doubting My Word.  When you see the tactics My enemy used in the Garden with Adam and Eve, you will be fortified to resist those tactics when My adversary wants to use them again on you.  Abiding in My Word is your greatest protection against deception.  Daily abide in My Word.

1 CORINTHIANS 10:6; HEBREWS 3:12-19

RECENT

When I walked along the Galilee I did what I knew would enable Me to fulfill all the assignments that My Father had for Me in a day's time. I lived in the moment and did not even think about those things that had recently happened along the way.

Faith can only operate in the present moment.  I never questioned My most recent encounter because I had to be alert to listen to the Holy Spirit speak and guide Me to have the next encounter.  

To walk in the Spirit just like I did, you need to keep pressing forward without looking back.  So many of my beloved look at their past failures and soon a spirit of condemnation sent by My enemy will overwhelm them.  Take each day as a gift and each moment as an opportunity for Me to work through you.

HEBREWS 11:1
