RISK

Fear may strike your heart when you hear the phrase, "You are at risk!"  I never want you to be afraid.  Many of the encounters I had with My disciples were when they were fearful.  There I was with them to help them, but they were still afraid.

I came to set people free.  I want you to be free of fear because fear paralyzes you and places you in a vulnerable position.  Fear is the anesthesia My adversary uses to paralyze people so that he then can do his diabolical surgery on them.

I want you only to risk one thing in this life.  Risk laying your self-life down to follow and abide in Me.  When you do this daily you will never fear because you will be assured that I am with you always even until the end of the world.

MATTHEW 28:20

RECALL

This word "recall" has many connotations.  It can mean that the car you recently bought has to be checked out because there is something wrong with it.  I gave you this word today because you are in the middle of the Passover season when My Jewish brethren are recalling the Exodus from Egypt.

You are also fast approaching Resurrection Sunday when people gather to worship and recall how I was raised on the third day after My crucifixion. Take time this week to recall all I have done for you.  

When I said, "It is finished," as I took My last breath I was saying that My shed blood has made it possible to have your sins forgiven past, present, and future.  Then when I was raised from the dead, I made it possible for you to one day be resurrected also. Recollection of these events should dissolve any worries or cares you may have because they prove that I love you with an everlasting love.

JOHN 19:30

STILL

There are many believers who have difficulty receiving what I want to share with them daily.  In order to hear the still, quiet voice of My Holy Spirit, you have to be still.  You live in a culture where there usually is no time for stillness.

My Word says, "Be still and know that I am God." I want you to daily ask Me questions and then be still for a few minutes and listen.  Do this when your mind is not cluttered.  The best time is in the morning.

In this time when you will not have access to a computer to share the words I give to you everyday, I want you to write down the words I give you.  Later when you return home, I will lead you to share some of the words you received from Me.  So many need a word of encouragement and exhortation from Me, so be faithful to take time daily to be still and receive what I want to share with you and others.

PSALM 46:10

ADDRESS

Do you know that I have prepared a place for you in heaven?  You may not have an address, but you can have great assurance that this place will be waiting for you when you make your final journey from this Earth.

So  many have had friends die during the pandemic your nation and the world have experienced.  Those who have a relationship with Me will one day see Me face to face and then they will see the place I have prepared for them.

Pray for all of those who have experienced the passing of loved ones to be comforted by My Holy Spirit. Pray also that you will have an opportunity to share the gospel with those you know who do not yet have a relationship with Me.

JOHN 14:1-4

SUSTAIN

I gave you this word because it describes the work of My Holy Spirit.  When you looked this word up in your dictionary, you discovered that the word "sustain" means to maintain and keep going.  It also means to support and provide.

My Holy Spirit has many functions as you will see in My Word.  He is the Spirit of Truth Who leads you to digest the truth of the Scriptures and also provides the strength to not only read and hear My Word, but also to do it.  He is the comforter who sustains you in every trial.  He gives you a generous portion of My grace that enables you even to get through the death of a close loved one.

Today give thanks to Me for sending you My Holy Spirit, Who is your helper, comforter, teacher, exhorter, and power. Yield to His sustaining power daily.

JOHN 15:26

LOST

My will is that none perish, but that all come to repentance.  You are entering a time of  a great harvest of souls.  I want you to pray for those who you know have not yet come to believe in Me.  

Ask My Holy Spirit to reveal the strongholds that are standing in the way of  those who need to accept Me as their Lord and Savior.

Pray for My Holy Spirit to send them conviction and the gift of repentance.  Also pray for laborers to got to them to share My Word.  Pray for them to receive the gift of faith also.  The combination of the hearing of My Word and the gift of faith will enable many to be born again of My Spirit.

2 PETER 3:9

ARRANGE

Most people enjoy arranging plans, arranging trips, and some even enjoy arranging furniture.  When I walked on Earth, My plans were already arranged by My Father.  I knew that My Father would lead Me by the Holy Spirit everyday.

There were things that He wanted Me to accomplish.  I was divine, but I was also human.  This is what enabled Me to be the perfect sacrifice for the sins of the world.  When you read the gospel accounts of what I did while I was on Earth, you can receive a clear picture of what it means for you to be led by My Holy Spirit.

I only did the things I saw My Father do, and I only said the things I heard My Father say.  I entered in with My flesh body to heal the sick and to deliver those who were oppressed by demonic spirits, but it was the anointing of the Holy Spirit Who did the work through Me.  I promised that you will do greater works than I did, but this will only happen as you are led daily by My Spirit.  

JOHN 5:20, 14:12

RECKON

Some people have a unique response to an invitation when it is given to them.  The response is: "Well, I reckon I will be able to go."  That response could mean maybe or maybe not.

I have an invitation for you today and it was an invitation given by My Holy Spirit to Paul.  I want your response to this invitation to not be a maybe or maybe not.  I want your response to this invitation daily to be "Yes, with Your help I will."

The invitation is found in Paul's letter that he penned while he was in prison in Rome.  He wrote these words: "Likewise reckon you also yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God through Jesus Christ our Lord."  I want you daily to pray this prayer to me: "Lord Jesus, help me by the power of Your Spirit to reckon myself dead to sin and alive to You."

ROMANS 6:11

ARRIVE

You always have a sigh of relief when your family safely arrives at their destination.  There are many destinations in life.  When you were born you were destined  to live on Earth for hopefully many years.  

Now that you are older, I have heard you pray that you will live out your days according to what is written in your book of life.  Many, however, do not even know that the members of their individual bodies were written in their Book of Life before they were in their mothers' wombs.

I was present at every conception because I am not just the creator of life I am life itself.   My Word says that I am the light of the world who lights every person who comes into the world.  My desire is always that everyone born will walk in My light all their days.  However, many have chosen to walk in darkness.  Pray for the salvation of those you know who are walking in darkness so that they will safely arrive at their heavenly destination.

JOHN 1:9

FRESH

When you are in heaven everything will be fresh.  There will be no mold, no rust, no stains.  Right now, however, I have noticed that you use sprays that make things smell fresh  in your home and office.  Those sprays only cover up stale odors.

When you were born again by My Spirit, you had a fresh start.  There was an excitement in your Spirit. I want that freshness to be rekindled in you.  I want every day to be a refreshing day that offers you the sweet smell of My presence with you.

I want to give you a fresh touch of My Spirit every morning.  However, to welcome this fresh way to start your day, you must come into My sanctuary where My presence always awaits you.  You enter that sanctuary through the sacrifice of thanksgiving, praise, and worship.  I am looking forward to having a refreshing sanctuary time with you tomorrow morning and every morning.

PSALM 77:13

HONOR

There are many things that are worthy of honor in your life.  Godly parents are certainly worthy of honor.  A student who is diligent to study and make good grades is worthy of honor.

A worker who goes above and beyond what he is expected to accomplish.  Children who seek to obey their parents are worthy of honor.

What I deem worthy of honor is the person whose top priority is to seek My kingdom and My righteousness.  That person will have a life filled with peace and joy even when there is great tribulation in the world. 

MATTHEW 6:33 

RESCUE

Many have been discouraged about the ungodly edicts coming from the federal government.  Some have sighed and exclaimed, "It looks like our nation is going down the river in a handbasket."  The baby Moses was going down the river in a handbasket, but I had a plan.  I saw to it that Moses was rescued and that he was put in a position where he was trained for leadership.

I have heard the cry of those in America who desire for the foundations of their nation to be restored.    Just as I had a plan to rescue Moses, I have a plan to rescue your nation.

Continue to pray during these crucial times for My blueprint for America to be established. It is your prayers of faith that pave a highway to heaven for My plans to flow from My throne room to your nation.  Do not get weary of praying and believing that I will rescue you and give you a season to bring in a great harvest of souls.

EXODUS 2:1-10

AGGRESSIVE

I gave you the word, "aggressive" today.  When you searched for the definition, you discovered that the word means to be bold and active.  

I have already spoiled principalities and powers when I made a show of them openly and triumphed over them through My death, My shed blood, burial and resurrection. You  now have all authority in My name to cast out demons and to heal the sick.

You are about to enter a great harvest of souls, and I want you to be aggressive to enforce My victory. I want you to be bold and active.  You can do all things through Me, but also remember that without Me you can do nothing. This is why you have to yield to My Holy Spirit moment by moment so the anointing that breaks every yoke of bondage can flow through you.

COLOSSIANS 2:15

RESPOND

When things do not turn out as you had hoped they would and when it seems that your prayers did not produce what you had desired, how should you respond?  This was the case when Paul was in Philippi.  My Spirit closed the doors twice before My Spirit opened another door for him in Philippi. 

Paul finally had a vision in the night that a man from Macedonia was pleading for him to come there.  A door to plant a church in Philippi was opened, but then he was arrested and thrown in prison. It was there that I opened the prison doors and the man from Macedonia was saved plus his whole household.

Through all those struggles, Paul responded by remaining in praise and thanksgiving, and he kept moving forward with the gospel.  It seems like the darkness is increasing in your nation, but I want you to respond like Paul did.  Keep in praying, praising, and worshiping Me, and I will open doors for you. 

ACTS 16

FACE

One of the problems My body on Earth has is that many have not learned what it means to seek My face. This exhortation is found throughout My Word.

You seek My face just like you would seek to see someone face to face that you love.  Even though you will not be able to see Me face to face until you are with Me in heaven, I desire for you to see Me in the Spirit just as David, the psalmist, saw Me in the Spirit.

David wrote, "As for me, I will behold Your face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with your likeness."  The morning is a good time to seek My face when you have not started the routines of the day.  You seek My face simply by spending time in My presence. Open your day by saying good morning to Me.

PSALM 17:15

INVESTMENTS

Some people hope that their money investments will pay great dividends.  There is no guarantee, however, that a material investment will profit you.

Investments into My kingdom, however, will always profit much.  I told My disciples not to lay up for themselves treasures on earth where moth and rust corrupt and where thieves break through and steal. I encouraged them to lay up treasures in heaven because those treasures will be eternal and will profit many.

What are the treasures you can invest in on earth that are eternal?  Anytime you invest your time in helping others by praying for them or ministering in some way to them, you have invested in something that will profit others and that will add to your treasures in heaven because people are My treasures.

MATTHEW 6:19-21

RESTITUTION

The word, "restitution" means giving back to the rightful owner something that hast been lost or taken away. The principle of restitution is able to be enforced now that you have My authority to come against the prince of darkness who is also the prince of the power of the air.

When Adam and Eve sinned they lost their intended purpose which was to have continual communication with My Father.  They could no longer hear His voice.  The prince of the power of the air saw to it that the atmosphere became filled with demonic beings who had one goal - destruction of  humankind.

I paid the ultimate price to redeem the world from the bondage of sin.  Now people have a choice.  They can choose life or death, darkness or light.  Sin always leads to death.  If people will make the choice to receive Me as their Lord and Savior, restitution will come to them.  My light will invade their dark hearts, and I will give them the strength to break all bondages in their lives. 

ROMANS 6:23 

FORSAKEN

There is such darkness over your nation now.  You opened the door for that darkness to come into your nation when you allowed evil men to do evil things.  You as My body on Earth are now standing up for right values to be established again in your country.

Daniel's people were in bondage for seventy years, but when Daniel prayed and confessed the sins of his nation, things began to turn around.  He declared what My Word said in Jeremiah which prophesied that his people would be in bondage for 70 years.  Daniel began to declare the promise of liberty.

I sent My warring angel Michael to begin to war against the Prince of Persia and then the breakthrough came.  As you declare what I have told My prophets and decree the promises from My Word, once again My warring angels will assist you in this war against the prince of darkness.  Be persistent in prayer.

DANIEL 10:11-13

DETERMINED

Before the foundation of the Earth, I was chosen to be the One Who would be My Father's voice to set creation into motion.  By Me, for Me, and through Me everything was created that was created.  The world itself is held in the atmosphere by My Word.

Now God has chosen My Holy Spirit to give My body the ability to speak My Word out loud as a weapon against My enemy who is the prince and power of the air. When you and those who believe in  Me speak My Word, My angels come to attention and they begin to war on your behalf.

You are in a horrific battle right now in your nation.  I call you and all those Who believe in Me to give My Word voice through their prayers, declarations and decrees.  Pray daily that you will hear what My Holy Spirit wants you to speak, and then send My Word into the atmosphere.  It will be victorious over My enemy.
