AGREEMENT

There is such power in agreement.  I promised that when two or three are gathered in My name and agree as touching anything and ask it of My Father, it shall be done for them of My Father Who is in heaven.

I actually dwell in the midst of every gathering that has the purpose of using the keys to the kingdom that I have given to My body on Earth.  Those keys give you the authority to bind things on earth and when you do this, things will be bound in heaven.

Also whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. The next time you gather for prayer with others, use these keys to the kingdom and you will see supernatural results. Pray with faith.

MATTHEW 18:18-20

COMPLETE

I always complete what I have started.  I have started an awakening in the church in America, and I will complete it. Harvest time is here and is spreading throughout the world even though it seems like darkness could stop it.

No. no, no!! There will be no stopping of what I have begun in your personal life, in the lives of My body on earth.  The work I have begun is a purifying work that will cause you to be tuned to My voice.

Distractions will begin to dissolve and you will be able to hear My voice clearly as I tell you the next thing to do and not only you, but My whole body on Earth.  We will co-labor together and the work will be completed.

COLOSSIANS 2:10

SUFFICIENT

I am the all sufficient One. People are always looking for satisfaction in life in the wrong places.  I long for them to come to Me because I am the only One Who can satisfy their longings.

I am able to make all grace abound to people so that they will have all sufficiency in all things so they may abound to every good work.  My servant Paul shared this truth with those who were called to do My works.

There is no more lasting satisfaction than to know that you have been called to do My works on earth. When you answer that call, I will supply all you need to do those works.

2 CORINTHIANS 9:8

ENTRANCE

You can stand outside an entrance to a building all day, but if you do not enter the entrance, you will never know what you are missing. This is the experience that many people have had who only read their Bibles on occasion or even at all.

My servant David wrote: "The entrance of Your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple (Psalm 119:130). So many people to day are walking in great darkness because they have never received My light. 

The only light that will keep people from remaining in darkness is the LIGHT that is found in My Word. I am the LIGHT of the world, and people can only know Me as their light if they refuse to read My Word.

PSALM 119:130 

DESERVE

I am a God of mercy and grace.  My mercy was revealed when I bore the wrath of My Father for the sins of mankind on the cross.

I revealed My grace to mankind when I offered salvation on the cross to those who could never deserve or earn it. When I became the perfect sacrifice for sin, I offered to exchange My righteousness that people could never deserve for their unrighteousness.

I am still revealing My mercy and grace to mankind daily.  I paid the penalty for the sins of the world and all those who believe in Me will receive right standing with My Father even though they do not deserve it.

EZRA 9:13

DELIGHT

My servant delighted in my laws, statutes, and all that was written in My Word.  He did not have the new testament, but I was revealed to Him by My Holy Spirit.

Few today are delighting themselves in My Word.  Others study My Word, but they do not delight themselves in My Word.  They forget that My Word is one of the few things that is eternal.  Yes, when you reach heaven, you will still be delighting yourself in My Word.

Pray for families in your nation to once again establish a time of reading My Word together.  Your country and people all over the world have lost their compass, and they are lost. My Word is your compass for life.

PSALM 40:8

DAY

"For a thousand years in Your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night (Psalm90:4)" It seems like everyone is trying to figure out when I will return to earth.

It was a surprise when I was born in Bethlehem over 2000 years ago.  It will be a surprise when I return to earth.  People forget that there is no time or space in heaven.  Try as you may to have prophetic time lines which may reveal the season of My return, but only My Father knows the time of My return.

Instead of trying to figure out the time of My return, just be ready because you do not know the hour. Live each day as it is your last which means allow Me to work through you all that I want to accomplish in your life.

PHILIPPIANS 2:13 

FEELING

Celebrating My birth is a time of special joy.  However, there are many who do not have anyone to celebrate with them. Pray for those who are feeling lonely and those who are suffering.

Pray that those who are being persecuted for My sake in many countries.  Pray for those in Israel who have lost family members and who are experiencing the trauma of war.  Pray for a full harvest to come before I return.

Pray that those who are lonely, depressed, persecuted, in prison or in poor health to know that I am with them..  Pray for them to understand that I am their High Priest who can identify with every weakness in their lives. Pray for them to know that I have My arms around them right now.

HEBREWS 4:15

PURIFYING

 I am the only One Who knows the hearts of mankind, and I am the only One Who can help you purify your heart. 

The purification of your heart will occur throughout your lifetime as you draw closer and closer to Me. I am the only One Who is all pure.

As you draw near to Me, you will recognize that those things you used to say or do, you will no longer be able to say or do.  This is the work of My Holy Spirit.  Give your heart to My Spirit daily, and humbly pray that your heart will be made purer each day you live.

ACTS 15:7-9

CONTINUE

It is so important for you and all My beloved to continue in My goodness with a thankful heart.  Your walk of faith depends upon your continual trust in Me.

Faith is only active in the present, so be intentional to believe that I will supply all the faith you need for the moment. Then take another step of faith, and I will meet you in the next moment. 

Continuing daily in My Word is also essential for you to move forward in fulfilling the calling I have on your life. I told the Jews who believed in Me that if they continued in My Word, then they were My disciples indeed, and then they would know the truth and the truth would set them free. 

ROMANS 11:22; JOHN 8:31

GOVERNMENT

So many think of Me as a tiny baby born on that morning in Bethlehem.  However, the prophet Isaiah said that the government would be upon My shoulders.

Your government at this time seems to be in a state of turmoil.  Do not worry or be afraid.  I am the One Who controls all governments.  I promote Kings and demote kings because I am the KING of KINGS.

I am called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Because you accepted Me as your LORD and Savior, I can do wonderful things in your life.  I can counsel you and help give you wisdom.  I can give you My peace and I will always be your everlasting Father.

ISAIAH 9:6

SOUNDS

A multitude of the heavenly host praising God appeared to the shepherds in the field on the night of My birth. Music announced My birth and music will also announce My return to earth.

Right now the whole earth is groaning and travailing as earth awaits My return.  You are living in the time that I called "the beginning of sorrows." 

The sound of the trumpet will announce My return and then the whole earth will make a joyful sound. Then the trees of the wood will sing out at My presence because I will be coming to judge the earth. Look forward to that day, but until that day, make a joyful sound daily as you praise Me.

LUKE 2: 13; ROMANS 8:22; 1 CHRONICLES 16:33; 

TIME

There is no time and space in heaven.  There is no night or day either.  There is eternal light in heaven.  Everyday is a sunny day, but the days are bright with the glory light that streams from the Throne Room.

During this busy season,  I want you to take time to sit in the sunshine and think of Me.  Just bring yourself into that quiet place and breathe in My Holy Spirit.

I am always present to help you and to hear your prayers, but I want you to spend quality time in My presence.  I have much to say to you, so be intentional to take a break from all the Christmas rush and soak in My glory light.

REVELATION 22:6

DELIVERED

It was time for My Mother Mary to deliver Me.  Since there was no room in the Inn, Mary had to deliver Me in a dark cave.  She wrapped Me in swaddling clothes and laid Me in a manger. 

The swaddling clothes were used to wrap new born lambs after they were born.  The manger was a feeding place for the animals. 

As you think about My birth, remember that I am the "Lamb of God" who came into a dark world to deliver mankind from their sins.  I am also the bread of LIFE who gives spiritual food to all who believe in Me.  I was delivered on that day to become the deliverer for mankind.  

LUKE 2

BELLS

When your mother's spirit went to heaven, she saw a man reading a book in front of a big lake. I was the One reading her Book of Life, and I told her it was not her time. The lake was the crystal sea. 

She heard bells as she entered heaven.  The bells of heaven rang to celebrate her entrance. There is no record of bells ringing to celebrate My birth on earth, but the shepherds had bells on their staffs 

As the shepherds were running to announce My birth, their bells rang loudly.  You will hear bells ring loudly in churches and even bell choirs will ring  their bells to celebrate My birth.  When you hear those bells, think about the shepherds and also the bells that one day will welcome you home to heaven.

REVELATION 4:6; LUKE 2:15

EARS

Many times after I gave a teaching, I said, "He who has ears, Let Him hear." I was not speaking about physical ears.  I was speaking about spiritual ears.

You and everyone who is born has two sets of ears.  They have physical ears and spiritual ears. The parable of the sower that I gave is all about how people hear My Word.  The seed was My Word and where the seed fell determined whether or not the seed of My Word would bear fruit.

Pray for Me to send you to those whose hearts I have prepared to hear My Word with spiritual ears. My Word then will bear much fruit.

MATTHEW 13:3-9

SHED

I shed My blood for the remission of the sins of the whole world.  However, never have heard that I was the perfect sacrifice that satisfied My Father's requirements to be reconciled to Him for all eternity.

I not only shed My blood, but I also shed My light and provided for the light of My Spirit to light every man who comes into the world.  I am present at every conception.  Every child born has My light, but many choose to live in darkness because their ways are evil.

Today, I want you to shed abroad this good news.  I was all inclusive in My offer to the world to forgive  and redeem mankind.  All one has to do to be reconciled to My Father is to believe these truths, repent of their sins and receive Me into their hearts.

MATTHEW 26:28; JOHN 1:9

STRENGTH

There are so many things to do during this season.  I know that sometimes you feel like you are running out of strength. I have heard you say many times, "LORD give me strength."

Strength is what I can give you daily.  The Psalmist David had many things to do as both a soldier and a king.  He wrote this: "It is God Who girds me with strength, and makes my way perfect."

Come to Me whenever you are weary and feel like you are running out of strength.  It is My delight to dress you and undergird you with My strength.  Remember to do this during this busy time of the year.

PSALM 18:32

DARKNESS

These are very dark days in the world.  The Jews all over the world are celebrating Hanukkah. They light Hanukkah candles for eight days to celebrate the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem in the 2nd century BC.

I am the light of the world Who lights every man who comes into the world.  I am present at every conception.  Every person born has My light within them, but so many had chosen to live in darkness because their ways are evil.

David wrote: "For You will light my candle; the LORD My God will enlighten my darkness (Psalm 18:28)." When you are going through dark days, remember this promise.

JOHN 1:9; PSALM 18:28

REST

This is such a busy time of the year, many people are missing their restful times with Me.  Today, My prayer for My beloved is that they will take time every day to enter the rest that I can supply for them.

My rest is both physical and spiritual.  I have promised to give rest to all those Who will come to Me and take My yoke upon them and learn of Me meekness and lowliness of heart. This yoke is the yoke of My Holy Spirit, Who can order your day and establish your thoughts.

The rest I offer is rest for your mind, your will, and your emotions.  I invite you once again to come to Me. Rest from your labor for a few minutes and give Me your burdens.  Rest is My Christmas gift to you.  Receive it every morning.

MATTHEW 11:28-30

DECLARE

There are many reasons that My Father sent Me to earth.  Of course, the main reason was to redeem the world from sin. However, there was another very important reason that I came.

My Father is a Spirit, and no one has seen My father because He is a spirit.  I came to declare My Father to the world.

Until My birth, people felt that God was distant even though many had My Word and the Old Covenant. I came to reveal to everyone on earth the very character of My Father.  I declared Him both in word and in deed.  Now you can declare My Father by sharing the good news of My coming to everyone.

JOHN 1:18

AFTER

The disciples asked Me what would be the sign of My coming and of the end of the world.  I answered them and said, ""And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness to all nations, and then shall the end come."

Peter wrote this, "The LORD is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is long suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance."

These scriptures reveal My heart.  I want all to come to repentance.  Not until the gospel of the kingdom is preached in all the world will the end come.  I am not willing for those you are praying for to be saved to perish, so never give up.  Keep praying until they are saved.

MATTHEW 24:3; PETER 3:9 

ENTER

 Every morning you have the privilege of entering the gates to heaven with thanksgiving.  When you begin your time with Me with simple thanksgivings, I am so blessed.

My presence comes near to you and I can't wait to hear your prayers.  When you offer all of your requests and supplications with thanksgiving, you are saying to Me that you believe with all your heart that I not only hear you, but I will grant your requests.

The gates of heaven swing wide whenever you have an attitude of gratitude in your heart for Me and My Father.  Start your day with Me tomorrow by thanking Me that My presence is with you.  In My presence is fulness of joy and pleasures forever more.

PSALM 100:4; PHILLIPIANS 4:6-7; PSALM 16:11

EXPECTATION

During this season the expectations of little children and even adults are very high.  They have in mind what they would like to receive on Christmas day.

Often there may be disappointments that follow great expectations.  There is one great expectation that will never disappoint Me.  Paul wrote about this expectation.

"According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life or by death." Paul's expectation is what I desire My beloved always to have. Expect Me to manifest myself through you daily.

PHILIPPIANS 1:20

ABOVE

I am careful not to allow you to be tempted above what you are able to withstand.  Temptation, trials, and tests of your faith will always happen in your life. How you respond to those times is so important to Me.

As long as you are abiding in My Word and committing your days and way to Me, you can be assured that whatever happens in your life is either allowed by Me or appointed by Me.

I know what you will face in the future, and I trust you to respond to future events by trusting completely in Me. You live in a time when everything that can be shaken will be shaken, but never be in fear or dread. I will carry you in My arms through these end times, so be at peace.

1 CORINTHIANS 10:13

ISSUE

Every issue in life flows from your heart.  You have probably heard the expression. "This is a matter of the heart." Every decision you make and every way you choose to go is a matter of your heart.

Your heart matters to Me.  People ask you, "How are you feeling today?"  Feelings are passing moments. The question I ask you daily is, "How is your heart today?" I know you desire to please Me and without faith it is impossible to please Me.  Faith resides in your heart.

If you truly want to please Me daily, allow Me to do heart surgery on you.  Allow Me to heal your heart if it is broken.  Allow Me to purify your heart if it is filled with worldliness.  Allow Me to touch your heart and fill your heart with My love.  

PROVERBS 4:23

PRESERVED

My servant Paul prayed many prayers over the various churches he established.  The prayer he prayed over the church of Thessalonica is also My prayer for you.  His prayer was;

"And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our LORD Jesus Christ."  

When I am face to face with you, your works on earth will be judged for reward.  Ask Me daily to sanctify and empower you by My Spirit to do the works that I have called you to do.

1 THESSALONIANS 5:23

WITHSTAND

You are truly living in an evil day.  This is why you daily need to put on My full armor in order to withstand Satan's first attack which is deception. 

Speak My Word out loud when you are tempted to believe the lies of Satan.  When I was tempted, I spoke the very words that were written out loud.  This provided the shield of faith to quench every fiery dart. 

Satan fled because he knew that I was standing in the righteousness of God which protected My heart from being wounded.

EPHESIANS 6

ACKNOWLEDGE

When you acknowledge Me as you go your way during the day, I will direct your steps.  

When you acknowledge Me wherever you go to whoever you meet along the way, doors will open for you to be able to share My Words of life with others.

My words of life are life changing.  So many do not know the truths that will set them free from bondage. When you are never ashamed of My name or My words, but instead, you boldly proclaim My gospel, I will direct your steps to prepared hearts that are ready to receive My truths.

PROVERBS 3:6

GOAL

People make lists of the goals that they hope to reach day by day, week by week, and some year by year. Having goals is good, but this is not the way that walking in My Spirit works.

Walking in the Spirit is a walk of faith.  Faith does not operate in the future.  Your hopes are in the future, but faith operates now in the present.

I want you to have the same goal that Paul had.  He wrote: "Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things that are behind, and reaching forth to those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." As you walk in the Spirit, I will unfold My plans for you as you take the next step of faith.

PHILIPPIANS 3:13-14

IMPOSSIBLE

I am the One Who can make the impossible possible. The disciples asked Me who could be saved when I told them how difficult it would be for a rich man to enter My kingdom.  I answered that with men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

Mary asked Me how she would be able to conceive Me.  Gabriel explained to her that the Holy Spirit would come upon her. Then Gabriel said to her with God nothing shall be impossible. 

Both My birth and the birth of someone into My kingdom can only be accomplished by My Holy Spirit.  Never give up praying for the salvation of others. Ask My Holy Spirit to come upon them and convict those who are lost of their sin.

MARK 10:25- 27; LUKE 1:34-37

 

DELIVER

You often pray that I deliver you from temptation.  However, Satan constantly tempts you, and you may give in to that temptation.  When you confess that sin, I not only forgive you, but I also cleanse you.

I told Peter that Satan wanted to sift him as wheat.  I did not tell Peter that he would not be tempted nor did I deliver him from the temptation. I told Peter that I would pray that his faith would not fail.

I delivered Peter out of temptation, not from temptation. Whenever you give in to Satan's temptations, I want you to know that I am praying for you that your faith will not fail you.  I want you to always have faith in Me to help you overcome whenever you give in to temptation again.

2 PETER 2:9; LUKE 22:31-32

YES!

In these troubled times, people all over the world need comfort.  They need hope, peace, and joy.  They need love and grace.  Sadly so many do not know where to find or how to receive such blessings.

Only those who have put their trust in Me know how these blessings can be received.  These blessings are found in all the promises I have made in My Word.  

All one has to do to receive these promises is to first receive Me as their Savior.  I am faithful to keep all My promises. "For all the promises of God in Me are yes, and in Me Amen...." 

2 CORINTHIANS 1:20

VISIT

I am the dayspring from on high Who has visited not only Israel, but all people who will reach out to Me and search for Me with all their hearts.

Isaiah wrote: "Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, for He has visited and redeemed His people." Many of My people in Israel have not yet searched for Me with all their hearts.

Pray for an awakening in Israel.  I long for Jewish people in Israel and all over the world to know that I am a God of tender mercies.  This war has shown many how evil people can be.  I want to show the world that I will deal with the wicked, and I will also pour out My grace and mercy to those who will turn to Me.

LUKE 1:68, 78

DIRECT

I have promised to direct the steps of those who walk uprightly.  Walking uprightly is not easy in a world that is filled with unrighteousness.

You are living in very dark times.  However, if you will be bold and acknowledge Me in all your ways, I will direct your steps.  You live in a time where you must be in the right place at the right time.

Listen carefully to My Holy Spirit because when you are wondering where to direct your steps, you will hear a word behind you say, "This is the way, walk you in it." That word comes from My Holy Spirit.

PROVERBS 21:29, 11:5; ISAIAH 30:21

PATHS

The path I have chosen for you is filled with mercy and truth. As you keep My covenant and testimonies, you can be assured that you will not get off this path.

So many in the world today are walking a path filled with evil and deception.  Pray for those who have chosen to go that path.  I am a merciful God, and I desire to lead people in the paths of My righteousness.

As you abide in My Word daily, you will not have to fear being deceived even though there are so many lies that you hear daily.  My Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth and He will lead you into all the truths that will help you stay on this path I have chosen for you.

PSALM 25:10, 23:3

GAIN

Most everyone wants to gain success in whatever their job is in life.  A student wants to gain good grades.  An employee wants to gain a promotion.  A politician wants to gain recognition.

My servant Paul gained much success as a religious leader.  However, he used his success in the wrong way.  He persecuted those who did not believe as he did.  

After his encounter with Me and My death and resurrection, Paul realized that what he had gained, he counted as loss. He wrote: "But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ."  Paul became godly after He believed in Me, and he also wrote to Timothy and said, "But godliness with contentment is great gain." Paul finally learned that he could always be content because I was with Him.

PHILIPPIANS 3:7;1 TIMOTHY 6:6

BRING

The early priests always had to make many animal sacrifices before they were able to enter the Holy Place. Only the High Priest was able to enter the Holy of Holies where the blood of these sacrifices was sprinkled on My mercy seat. 

Now you can boldly enter My throne of grace and  obtain mercy and find help in time of need because I shed my blood as the perfect sacrifice to cleanse you of sin.  

All I want you to bring into My throne room as you pray are the living sacrifices of your body to be used by Me each day, thanksgiving, praise and worship.  I also want you to bring every care to Me.

HEBREWS 4:16; 2 PETER 5:6-7

HAND

When you pray for people you know to be saved, it is easy for you to doubt if they will ever repent and receive Me as their Lord and Savior. When those doubts come, you can be comforted by the promises in My Word.

My Word says: "Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither His ear heavy, that it cannot hear (Isaiah 59:1)."

I always hear your prayers when you are praying for someone to be saved because it is not My will that any would perish.  This promise is also in My Word. 2 Peter 3:9: "The LORD is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."

ISAIAH 59:1; 2 PETER 3:9

SAFE

During this war in Israel, many families hid in shelters in their homes.  The shelters were like bomb shelters and were built to withstand rocket attacks.  Sadly, many of these families were killed because those inspired by Satan broke into their safe places.

There is only one safe place in these dark days.  The only safe place is My hiding place in My Father's heart.  

Those who believe in Me are hid with Me in My Father's heart. Colossians 3:3: "For you are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.  Daily get into this safe place with Me.

COLOSSIANS 3:3 

JOIN

The fruit of the spirit of Antichrist is division.  You can see now how the whole world is divided.  This spirit has been active throughout history.  However, because you are in the last days, it is more active than ever.

To fight this spirit, you must not be divided.  You must be of one mind and one heart as you join with believers worldwide to resist My enemy.  A great harvest is in process, and the prayer of many of My beloved is that they will witness the greatest harvest of souls ever in history.

In order for this to happen, My body on earth must join together and diligently pray and cry out to Me.  Wickedness in its highest form has been revealed through the war Israel is experiencing now. Bind this wicked Antichrist spirit and curse its fruit of division and loose My Spirit to bring in this great harvest.

1 CORINTHIANS 1:10

CONDEMNATION

Many of My beloved are under condemnation.  This only happens when they are walking in their own flesh instead of walking in the Spirit.  When you walk in your own flesh, you have opened the door to receive condemning thoughts from My enemy and even from yourself. 

My brother James spoke the truth in a very simple way.  He exhorted those who received his letters to draw nigh to God, resist the devil and he would flee from them.

You must submit yourself first to Me if you want to pull down the strongholds like addiction in your life.  Then ask the Holy Spirit to help you resist temptation. When you do this you will be able to say no to your fleshly desires. You also will be free from self condemnation and the condemning voice of My enemy.  Paul wrote this: "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."

JAMES 4:7; ROMANS 8:1

DRINK

When I lifted the cup on that fateful night of My last Passover with My disciples, I gave thanks.

I told them that this was My blood of the new covenant shed for many for the remission of their sins. They did not understand what this meant that night.

I also told them that I would not drink of the fruit of the vine again until I drank it with them in My Father's kingdom.  They understood what I meant after I died and was resurrected.  I will also drink of the fruit of the vine when I see you face to face at the supper I will celebrate with all My beloved.

MATTHEW 26:27-29

TURN

There is no shadow of turning with My Father.  He is an unchanging Father Who is just and merciful. He sees all and knows all.  One of the reasons I came to earth was to reveal to the world the very character of My Father.

I never turned away from My Father.  I knew what My mission was and I fulfilled My mission even though I had to fight against My own will and the will of My Father.  

People forget that I was human as well as divine.  I paid the ultimate price when I died to redeem mankind from darkness into the light of My forgiveness and love.   Pray that during these dark days that many people will turn to Me, the light of the world.

MATTHEW 4:16; JAMES 1:17

PLEASURE

Many in the end days will be lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of Me.  They do not realize what will give them everlasting pleasure.  Worldly pleasures always are temporary.

I have pleasures that you and others can experience when they spend time with Me daily.  My Word says that in My presence there is joy and pleasures forevermore.

Every day spend time with Me.  When you are faithful to do this, you will know My presence throughout the day, and no matter what you may face during the day, My joy will give you strength.

2 TIMOTHY 3:4; PSALM 16:11

ONWARD

 When you were a little girl,  you used to sing "Onward Christian Soldiers".  One of the verses said, "marching unto war." It seems that in the day that you live that many have lost their first love.

My Word says that the love of many will wax cold in the last days.  Many have forgotten their first love. My word predicted that there would be a falling away in the end times.

You are in the times that many call the last days.  Pray for many who I love so much to return to their first love.  There are many physical wars taking place now and this was also was predicted to be the beginning of sorrows in My Word.  I want you to move onward in your prayers to do spiritual warfare for many today who have lost their first love.

2 THESSALONIANS 2:3; MATTHEW 24:12; JUDE 1:24

FAILURE

There are times when you have felt like you have failed Me.  When those times occur, I want you to remember that I am constantly interceding for you.

I knew that Peter was going to deny Me three times, and I also knew that he would feel like a total failure.  That is why I warned him that Satan was going to sift him as wheat, and that he would deny me three times. However, I also told him that I would be praying that his faith not fail.

Peter had to come to a point of not trusting in his own faith.  Instead, he had to  trust in My supernatural faith that is always available to anyone who cries out to Me, "Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief."

LUKE 22:31-32

TRAVEL

I traveled mostly by foot around the Sea of Galilee.  As I traveled I was led by the Holy Spirit to certain people that My Father had assigned Me to meet. Since I was in body form on Earth, my travels and the people I met along the way were limited.

Today when you travel, you are able to go from country to country with My gospel.  You still have bodily limitations, but the vastness of your travels during your lifetime can include a multitude of towns, cities, countries, and nations.

I want you to meditate on the blessing you have today to travel worldwide.  Use every opportunity when you travel even across the street to your neighbors home as a divine assignment that My Father desires for you to fulfill.

ACTS 11:19

ORDINARY

There is nothing ordinary about Me.  My love for you is extraordinary.  My plans for you are extraordinary. My kingdom is extraordinary. 

When you received Me as your Savior, you entered the realm of extraordinary.  As you look back on your life, you will be able to see the extraordinary ways I have blessed you.

Before you go to bed tonight, think about those ways I have blessed you.  Just list a few, and you will know without a doubt that I desire to bless those who believe in Me in extraordinary ways.

JAMES 1:17  

CLOSE

I know your desire is to draw closer to Me day by day.  However, in the world in which you live, you have so many distractions and you hear so many sounds like the noisy traffic on the streets.

I want you to know that I have provided a pavilion for you that will drown out the worldly sounds you hear every day.  That pavilion is far away from the strife of tongues.  It is a place where you can focus on Me and the beauty of My holiness.

That pavilion can be reached very when you discipline yourself to close your ears to every sound but My voice.  This can only be done early in the morning just as the dawn breaks.  It was My practice to hear from my Father at that time, and I do want you to hear My voice first before all other voices.

PSALM 27:5, 31:20 

FIXED

I want your heart fixed upon Me in these end times.  There is no question that before I return, there will be difficult times and even fearful times.

I do not want you to be in fear or dread about the times ahead.  David, the psalmist, faced many difficult times.  He spent  most of his life either fleeing his enemies or fighting them. 

David was able to get through the fearful things he faced because his heart was fixed.  He wrote: "O God, my heart is fixed,  I will sing and give praise." David did not fear for evil tidings because he put his trust in me. You can trust Me at all times because I have said I will never leave you or forsake  you.

PSALM 57:7, 112:7

DAWN

My servant Peter heard the voice of My Father twice.  He heard My Father's voice when he was present at My Baptism.  He heard My Father say, "This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased."

Then he heard it again when I he saw Me glorified in his presence on the mount of transfiguration. I was standing with Elijah and Moses.

Later, Peter remembered these to occasions and wrote: "We also have a more sure word of prophecy, and you do well to take heed, as unto the light that shines in a dark place until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts."  I am the light of the world Who shines in your heart.  Let that light shine.

2 PETER 1:19

VICTORY

I am the One Who can help you to always be victorious when you face many battles.  The battles you experience I have already won on the cross for you.

You have been born again and the promise is that whoever is born of God overcomes the world, and the victory that overcomes the world is your faith.

Release all your battles to Me and you will see the mountains you face melt.  It is My joy to do battle for you.

1 JOHN 5:4

EXORT

When I preached to the multitudes, I usually exhorted them to action. The word, "exhort" in your language means to urge earnestly by advice ou warning.  

I desired that everyone who heard Me would be challenged to do what was right in the sight of My Father. My goal when I taught was that a desire to please My Father would be greater than their selfish desires.

Pray daily for the words of exhortation that you speak to be anointed so that your words will produce desires in those who listen to please Me more than the desire to please themselves.

LUKE 3:18

TESTS

You will have all kinds of tests throughout your lifetime, but the one test I want you always pass is the tests of faith.

I tested Abraham's faith, and he passed his test because He knew Me.  He knew My character and he could hear My voice.

Abraham also knew that I was always faithful to keep My promises to him.  You will always pass the tests of faith that I give you when you know Me intimately, tune your ear to hear My voice, and know what I have promised in My Word.

GENESIS 17

EXCEEDING

I can do for you exceeding abundantly above anything that you ask or think, according to the power that works in you. I want you to focus on the power that I have.  It was through Me and for Me that all things on earth and in heaven were created. My power resides in you.

I created you, and you are fearfully and wonderfully made.  I want you to receive all I purchased for you when I died to forgive you of your sins and to take away the sins of the world.

I did not cover sin.  I took it away.  Everyone who believes in Me can receive complete forgiveness and liberty from the bondage of sin.  Meditate on My power and all doubts in your mind will have to leave.

EPHESIANS 3:20; COLOSSIANS 1:16

FLESH

I am God in the flesh.  I put on an earth suit and came as a little babe, developed as a young man and grew in wisdom and strength and favor with God and man.

The day came when My flesh was torn for your sakes and I became the perfect sacrifice to forgive and take away all of your sins. It was My joy to do this for you because I love you.

Before I left earth, I sent My Spirit to help you walk as I walked on earth. When I walked on earth I had to surrender completely to My Father's will and be led by Holy Spirit.  This is what you must do in order to win the battle over your fleshly lusts.  

LUKE 2:52

FAST

I had fasted for forty days and forty nights when I was tempted by the devil.  The Holy Spirit led Me into the wilderness to be tempted.  My Father knew that I would have a great battle with My flesh during this trial of temptation.

I know you and all believers have a constant battle with their flesh because your flesh seeks to satisfy itself by over indulging your five senses.  My Father knew that I had to be prepared through fasting before I experienced Satan's fierce temptations.

One of the secrets to overcoming temptation is to fast.  Maybe you are trying to pull down a stronghold of some kind of addiction in your life.  The best way to overcome strongholds and resist temptation is to fast.

MATTHEW 4:2

LOCUSTS

I am your redeemer.  You may have regrets when you look back on your life.  I want you not to look back.  I am able to restore the years the locusts have eaten in your life.

As you draw closer to Me, you may grieve over the years that you wasted and were not close to Me. I want you not to look back.

No, I want you to just look at Me.  Yes, I do not want your focus to be on anything else but Me.  This is how you will draw closer and closer to Me and how you will become stronger and stronger in My joy.

JOEL 2:25; MATTHEW 6:33-34

CLOUDS

The day will come when all those on earth will see Me coming in the clouds with great power and glory. On that day there will be an open heaven.

You do not have to wait until that day to have an open heaven.  As strong intercession from earth is being heard in heaven, there will be an open heaven, and many angels will be released to minister to My saints on earth.

I am even doing this now.  You will see breakthroughs in the lives of those you have lifted up to Me in prayer.  Begin to thank Me for this open heaven, and pray without ceasing. 

MARK 13:26 

AGREE

I promised that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of My Father Who is in heaven.

There is such power in agreement.  This is why it is so important for you to pray with others.  I sent My disciples out two by two so that they could agree in prayer as they went out to share the gospel of My kingdom.

When you do warfare and use the keys to My kingdom to bind and loose, you will see many miraculous answers to your prayers as you agree together.  Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

MATTHEW 18:18-20

DISCRETION

You are living in a day when the character quality of discretion is sorely needed.  Discretion is the ability to guide your affairs with wisdom and to judge what is right and what is wrong.

The atmosphere in your nation and even in some churches is filled with facts that simply are not true.  In order to be discrete and discern what is a lie and what is truth, you must draw upon My wisdom.

You will grow in My wisdom as you abide in My Word. My Word is true. Thank Me today for Holy Spirit. Who leads and guides you into all truth.

PSALM 112:5; PROVERBS 3:21: JOHN 14:16-17

WILLING

I am looking for willing hearts during this harvest time.  I have appointed you to be living at this time in history. As you willingly yield to My Spirit daily, you will be led to do the works that I have ordained for you to do even before the earth was formed.

Every morning, willingly offer your body to Me and the members of your body to be used as instruments of My righteousness, peace, joy and love.

Also, willingly offer your day to Me, and ask Me to put you in the right place at the right time so that you do not miss any divine appointments.  Listen carefully to My Holy Spirit as He leads and guides you throughout your day.

ROMANS 12:1; 6:13 

MINISTRY

 I want you to never forget that I can send angels to you when you call My name and when you speak My Word.  Angels hearken to the voice of My Word.

I am captain of the heavenly hosts of angels.  Some people have the wrong idea about angels.  They think they are only in heaven.  However, if you could have your eyes open to the spirit realm, you would be able to see angels.

Angels are ministering spirits sent to minister to those who believe in Me. This should give you great comfort during these dark days in your nation.

PSALM 103:20; HEBREWS 1:13-14

TRY

Paul warned Timothy that there would be many seducing spirits in the last days.  More than ever, I want you to try the spirits whether they are of God or not.

John wrote how you can discern whether a spirit is from me or from My enemy.  He said that every spirit that cannot confess that I am come in the flesh is not of God: and this is the spirit of antichrist.

Sharpen your dependency upon My Holy Spirit to enable you not to be fooled by the enemy.  You can sharpen your discernment by abiding in My Word.

1 TIMOTHY 4:1; 1 JOHN 4:1-2

HARPS

The heavenly scene that many see in their imaginations are angels sitting on clouds with harps in their hands. This is certainly not a description of your life with Me after you die.

All those who have received Me as their Lord and Savior on earth will be very busy in heaven.  The words that describe heaven are at the end of the Book of Revelation.

There will be a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. The tree of life that yields twelve kinds of fruit will be there and the leaves of that tree will be for the healing of all nations. The important blessing you will experience is to be with Me for all eternity.

REVELATION 22:1-2

STARS

My servant Paul wrote: "There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differs from another star in glory (1 Corinthians 15:41).

I created you be a light in this world that shines brightly for Me. You were created to uniquely show forth My glory (My presence) to others on earth.

As the days grow darker, I have called you to shine brighter and brighter so that men can see your good works and glorify Me.  There are unique works I have created for you to do. Ask Me what works I have called you to do each day when you pray.

1 CORINTHIANS 15:41; PROVERBS 4:18

BEHIND

It is the nature of mankind not to want to be behind in anything.  Most people want to be in the front of the crowd so that they can see better and hear better what is happening at the moment.

When you review your life, you can usually remember some very hard things that happened in your life.  Maybe you had a child die at a young age or maybe you had a divorce that was very traumatic. Remembering your past can be a painful experience.

My servant Paul was ashamed of many things that happened in his past.  However, he did not meditate on those things.  He wrote: "Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things that are behind, and reaching forth to those things that are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." Keep pressing forward.

PHILIPPIANS 3:13-14

DILIGENCE

My disciple Peter was far from perfect.  However, he learned the importance of diligence.  He was a diligent fisherman and was willing to fish all night if that was what it took to catch a net full of fish.

Peter did not become a diligent, fruitful fisher of men, however, until he received the power of My Spirit at Pentecost.  When he received the baptism of My Spirit, he was empowered to deliver My good news to multitudes.  3,000 souls were saved by his message just after he received the anointing of My Spirit.

Peter exhorted all of us to be diligent to add to our faith virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, kindness and love to our faith.  If Peter became diligent, you can also.  My Spirit will empower you to add these character qualities of My nature to your faith.

ACTS 2:41; 2 PETER 1:5-7

ALL

When My Word says the word, "all," it means "all," not "some." My servant Paul wrote to the Corinthian church about how I can sufficiently supply all things. I am Jehovah Jireh your Provider.

2 Corinthians 9:8: "And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work."

Let this truth that Paul wrote to My body in Corinth sink deeply into your heart.  When you meditate on this truth, you will never doubt again My ability to supply your every need.

2 CORINTHIANS 9:8; MATTHEW 6:33-34

LIFT

I am the glory and the lifter of your head.  Whenever you feel heavy of heart, come to Me.  I want to lift your head up to see Me.  

I promised that if I was lifted up that I would be able to draw all men unto Me.  I was lifted up when I died on the cross to forgive you of all of your sins.

I was lifted up when I ascended into heaven.  I want to lift your head up to see how much I love you. Today and every day when you pray, allow Me to lift up your head to see My GLORY (My presence with you).

PSALM 3:3, 24:9

SAFETY

Many people fear for their safety as they see crime increase in their cities.  New safety devices have even been invented to ward off those who want to invade homes to rob or to do harm.

Most people in My homeland Israel have made safe places in their homes that will give some amount of safety when terrorists launch destructive missiles into their villages.

There is only one place that can provide safety and that is when you abide under the shelter of My wings. When you trust in Me, you do not need to be afraid because you will be able to lay down in peace, and sleep because I, your LORD, only make you dwell in safety.

PSALM, 4:8

TAKE

There are many material things in life that you can choose to take or leave them.

Material things will pass away.  In fact, they will all be burned one day.  The things I want you to take are those things that will last forever.

I want you to take My yoke upon you and learn of Me.  My yoke is My Holy Spirit. I want you to take and receive the protection and provision of My blood that was shed for you.  I want you to take and receive My Word into your heart daily.  All these things are of eternal value.

MATTHEW 11:29

STEPS

It is human nature to plan steps that you can take in the future to insure your security or to plan for future jobs or to make other plans.  

Solomon wrote that "A man's heart devises his way; but the LORD directs his steps (Proverbs 16:9)." The psalmist David desired for Me to direct his steps.

You may want to pray the prayer he prayed daily.  He prayed: "Order my steps in Your word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me (Psalm 119:133)."

PROVERBS 16:9; PSALM 119:133

HID

 I warned a multitude of people to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. Then I said "For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed,; neither hid, that shall not be known."

People love to cover their evil deeds, but the day will come when those deeds will be revealed.  I will always reveal those things that are hidden because I am the light of the world Who shines light on every dark deed.

As you see the darkness in your nation grow, I want you to have hope that those evil deeds that have been done in the dark will be revealed and judgment will come to those who have perpetrated those deeds.

LUKE 12:2

ALMIGHTY

 It was My sacrifice on the tree when I shed my blood for the remission of your sins that made it possible for you to boldly come into My Father's throne room to find mercy and help when you are in need.

As you grow in your faith, I am revealing more and more about My Father to you.  One of the reasons I came to earth was to show you My Father and to demonstrate His love. for you.  I am God in the flesh, and there had to be a flesh sacrifice to reconcile My Father to you.

His promise to those who lay down their idols to worship Him is that He "will receive you, and will be a Father unto you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the LORD Almighty."

2 CORINRHIANS 6:18

JOURNEY

When I sent My disciples two by two, I gave them power over unclean spirits.  They left with faith that they would be empowered to do the works I did.

Life is a journey, and I have empowered those who believe in Me to do the very same works I did when I was on earth.  I have promised that the day would come when those who believe in Me will do even greater works than I did.

Rejoice because you now have My Holy Spirit Who will work through you both to will and to do of My good pleasure.  It is My good pleasure to give the kingdom of God to those who will believe. My kingdom is My peace, righteousness, and joy in the Spirit. As you journey thru life, share My kingdom with others.

MARK 6:7; PHILIPPIANS 2:13;   LUKE 12:32; ROMANS 14:17

POSSESIONS

 I said, "Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consists not in the abundance of the THINGS that he possesses (Luke 12:15)."

There is one thing that you can seek and if you seek that, everything else will be added to you.  That one thing is My kingdom.  I exhorted people to "seek you first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you (Matthew 6:33)."

My kingdom has those things that are important in life.  When you seek first My kingdom, you will have My peace, My joy, and My righteousness.  These things will give you a fruitful life and they will last throughout eternity.

LUKE 12:15; MATTHEW 6:33; ROMANS 14:17

TURN

It is so easy to make a wrong turn as you go through the journey of life.  This is why I want you always to commit your day to Me and ask My Holy Spirit to guide you throughout the day.

I want you to tune your ears so that you can hear Holy Spirit.  I sent you this wonderful "Helper," Holy Spirit, to not only guide you as you journey through life, but also to guide you into all truth.

You live in a day of great deception, and the only way that you can discern what is truth is by allowing Holy Spirit to speak to you as you read My Word.  He will teach you My ways, and He will also tell you about things to come.

JOHN 16:13

STRONG

Paul exhorted the Ephesians to be strong in the LORD and in the power of His might. Truly, it is My joy that will give you strength to face the days ahead.

It is so easy for you to be overwhelmed by the darkness that exists in the world today, but when you rely on My strength, My light will penetrate the darkness all around you.

When Joshua was to be the new leader of My people, he told Joshua to be strong and of good courage. My joy will also give you courage to take the steps of faith that are necessary to come through victorious in these evil days.

EPHESIANS 6:10; JOSHUA 1:6

WHITE

When I was transfigured in front of James, John, and Peter, My raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them. White is a sign of purity.

"Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow; (Isaiah 1:18:b)." This means that when you received Me and were born again by My Spirit, you became pure because My blood was shed to forgive you of all of your sins.

"As far as the east is from the west, so far have I removed all of your transgressions (Psalm 103:12)." The next time you wear white, remember that I see you now dressed in the white robe of My righteousness and rejoice.

MARK 9:3; ISAIAH 1:18b; PSALM 103:12

HANDS

When you are lifting your hands up to Me in worship, you are acknowledging that it was by Me, for Me, and to Me that all things were created. Your hands lifted to Me are also a sign of surrender to Me.  You are saying that everything is in My hands.

As you lift up your hands to Me, I want you to know that I am reaching My hands out to you to pull you up above the circumstances of life.  Right now darkness is over the earth, but I am lifting you into the light where I am.

I am seated in heaven far above all the principalities, powers, rulers of darkness and wickedness in heavenly places.  Remember that you are seated with Me in heaven and that you are of the kingdom of light.

PSALM 141:1; EPHESIANS 6:12

PRIZE

I want you to keep your eyes focused on the prize that awaits you at the end of your race of life.  Paul wrote: " I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:14)."

He described that prize as follows: "And every man who strives for the mastery is temperate in all things.  Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible (1 Corinthians 9:25)."

I will help you keep running the race of life well as you keep your focus on Me.

PHILIPPIANS 3:14; 1 CORINTHIANS 9:25

FOLLOW

My disciples followed Me wherever I went. They could see My physical presence, but now you have to follow Me with faith eyes, not physical eyes.

You no longer need to be where I am because I am always with you wherever you go. I want you to know that I am always face to face with you.  I never turn My back to you.  

Picture a father who stoops down at eye level with his toddler who is just learning to walk.  The father has his arms outstretched to catch his child if the steps of the child are not steady.  I have My arms outstretched toward you to catch you.  You can have confidence that I will catch you if you begin to fall.

JOHN 1:37; MATTHEW 28:20

ADD

Faith is the basis for your walk with Me in this life.  However, there are many more things that I want you to add to your faith.

My friend Peter learned much when he walked with Me by faith.  After My death, resurrection, and ascension, he listed some very important things to add to faith.

He said to add to our faith the following: virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness; and love. Peter knew that if we added these things to our faith, we would have fruitful lives.

1 PETER 1:5-8

ASK, SEEK, KNOCK

When you pray, I want you to always ask Me for whatever is on your heart.  Our time together, however, does not just include asking Me to help you with your day or other cares you may have.

I desire for your prayer times to be times when you not only ask, but you also seek and knock. I want you to seek to know Me more intimately, and I want you to persist in prayer if the answers do not come right away. Keep knocking and the door will be opened.

Never feel like it is a lack of faith on your part to keep asking about the same care.  I love to receive your cares and I want you to unburden yourself with whatever cares that are a burden to you.  

LUKE 11:9

AGES

My grace saved you even when you were still in sin.  I not only saved you, but I also raised you up to sit with Me in heavenly places.

The salvation I gave you is ageless because I saved you to live forever with Me. 

You are in a position now to enjoy the exceeding riches of My grace and kindness toward you today and for all eternity.

EPHESIANS 2:4-7  

DECLARE

When I came to earth, I was able to make known the unseen world to a physical world.  No man had seen My Father.  My Father is a Spirit. I came to declare in the physical world exactly Who Father is.

This is why I became flesh.  People in a physical world can see a physical person.  I am the very image of God in a flesh body. I am God in an earth suit.

When you meditate on My life and read the gospels, you will always come into a understanding of the very character of God, My Father.  Because My Spirit now lives in you, you now  have the opportunity to declare the very nature and character of God through your bodily form. Pray that you daily will do this.

JOHN 1:18

GROUND

When I taught on the parable of the seed, I shared that the seed that was planted on good ground flourished.

I listed what made good ground when I said, "But that on the good ground are they, who in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience."

You will always be able to receive the good seed of My Word when you have an honest and good heart that desires to obey My Word and then to wait patiently for My Word to bear fruit in your life. Pray that your heart will always be fertile ground to receive My Word. Then My Word in you will bear much fruit.

LUKE 8:15

UNTIL

On that fateful night when I was betrayed, as My disciples were eating, I took the bread and blessed it and said, "Blessed are thou King of the Universe Who brings forth bread from the earth." I broke it and gave it to them and said, "Take it. This is My body.

And I took the cup, and when I had given thanks: "Blessed are thou King of the Universe Who gives us the fruit of the vine." I gave it to them and they all drank it.

Then I said, "This is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many. I told them that I would drink no more of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God. Look forward to that day when I will again give thanks for the fruit of the vine and give it to you.

MARK 14:22-25

TREES

I desire foe those who believe in Me to mature in their faith and become trees of righteousness. This will happen when My body on earth begins to mentor and disciple new believers.

During this harvest time, many will just be babies in their knowledge of Me and they will need instruction on how to daily appropriate My atonement for them.

Pray for yourself and others in My body to prepare through prayer and the study of My Word to disciple the multitudes who will come to faith during this harvest. Trees grow and mature when they have healthy roots. Pray that these new believers will be rooted and grounded in My love and My Word.

ISAIAH 61:3

ONLY

There are so many blessings that I have provided for you and all those who believe in Me..  Paul was thinking of these blessings when he wrote: For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.  And not only so, but we also joy in God through our LORD Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement (Romans 5:10-11)."

When you go to sleep tonight I want you to review all of these blessings.  You are reconciled to My Father, saved by My life, and you can rejoice because it is through My blood shed for you that you are forgiven for your sins (past, present, and future).

Reviewing these blessings will provide you with a sweet sleep and you will wake up with a song in your heart.

ROMANS 5:10-11

FLOWING

Solomon wrote: "The words of a man's mouth are a deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook (Proverbs 18:4).  The deep waters of a person's mouth can either be sweet or bitter.

I desire for your words to always be sweet, and this will happen as you abide in My Word.  My Word is like honey on your lips. When you speak My Word to others, they will be built up in faith. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.

Your mission is to speak the wisdom that is found in My Word to others.  When you do this, others will be encouraged and exhorted to apply My Word to their everyday lives.  Wisdom is applied knowledge.

PROVERBS 18:4' ROMANS 10:17

TOGETHER

My early believers were always together.  They had everything in common.  The major thing they had in common was faith in Me.  Many had seen Me after I was resurrected, but some doubted. However, they were together when I ascended, and there was no more doubt.

I am calling for My body on earth to come together in unity.  When My body on earth is of one mind and one heart, My power will be displayed.

I am calling My body on earth go persevere in prayer and to gather together to pray in agreement.  You will see mighty things happen just as the early church did when you gather together in unity for prayer.

ACTS 4:29-31

DISTANT

Sometimes you feel distant from Me. This is usually because you have allowed distractions to steal the reality of My presence with you.

You have to be intentional to draw near to Me.  This means that you must close your ears to the world and open your spiritual ears to hear My still small voice.

Elijah thought that I would speak to him in a loud voice.   A great wind, earthquake, and fire distracted him, but then he quieted his soul and heard Me speak to him in a still, small voice.  Quiet your soul today just like a weaned child stops crying because he trusts his parents to feed him.  Trust Me to feed you today.

1 KINGS 19:11-12; PSALM 131:2

BUILDING

 We are being built throughout our lives. Our Master Builder is Jesus Christ. His building manual is the Bible. We are co-laborers with Him as He tells us what to do. We have a teacher who will help us understand the building manual.

Holy Spirit is our teacher, but he cannot help us learn if we do not read the manual.  He will give us the wisdom we need and also the understanding to apply that wisdom to our every day life.

Open this manual daily and listen carefully to the guidance and direction your Teacher gives you and then your building will be completed according to the plans of your Master builder.

1 CORINTHIANS 3:9

AGING

My friend Paul did not want to leave those he loved, but at the same time he wanted to be with Me.  As you approach your promised years (70 plus ten more if by reason of strength), you think more about meeting Me face to face.

I want you to pray for those who are seventy and above that they live out their days according what is written in their Book of Life.  

Everyone has one appointment in common.  It is appointed to man once to die and then the judgement. Pray that you make that appointment right on time (not a day early or a day late).  

HEBREWS 9:27; PSALM 139:16

COVERED

There is so much being done in darkness in your nation that I am now uncovering.  I have promised that there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed, and hid that shall not be known.

My light is able to penetrate all darkness.  The world is very dark right now because evil men love the darkness.  The deeds that they do in darkness will be revealed. The path of the just, however, will grow brighter and brighter as the days draw closer to My return. 

Do not concern yourself about the evil in the world.  Instead, concern yourself and pray about drawing closer and closer to My light each day.  Then I will able to shine My light brightly upon your path.

MATTHEW 10:26; PROVERBS 4:18

PURPOSE

So many young people in your present generation do not understand My purposes for their lives.  My purpose for each child born on earth is that they glorify Me on earth. 

I purpose that they have a spiritual birth that will provide for the spirit within them to be ignited by My love and My light.

The process of being born again can even happen at a very young age, but first that young child must come to know Me.  Do not hesitate to share the truths of My gospel even with very small children. How wonderful it is when a person receives My love and Lordship at a young age. Pray for the little ones.

EPHESIANS 1:11-12

CONTINUED

After My resurrection, My disciples continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

These activities are very important for you and the body of Christ to continue.  When they gathered together to break bread, they enjoyed fellowship with one another.  Fellowship over a meal is so valuable. I also want families to eat their meals together.  Few families do this in the age that you are living.

They also were careful to not add to or take away from the apostles' doctrines.  The gospel they shared that changed the world was simple.  They were of one accord when they prayed, and this is why their prayers availed much.

ACTS 2:42

WORKMANSHIP

I created you to walk in the works that I ordained you to walk in while you are on earth. You are My workmanship, and I created these good works for you to accomplish.

I am the One Who will do these works through you as you are faithful to daily listen to My Holy Spirit.  He will lead and guide you throughout each day.

These works are written in your Book of Life. They are like assignments given to you by your teacher, My Holy Spirit. Remember that I promised that you would do even greater works than I did while I was on earth.

EPHESIANS 2:10; JOHN 14:12  

GATHER

I shared the parable about the harvest time with My disciples. I shared how the sower sowed good seed, but when he was asleep, the enemy came and sowed tares in the field.. 

The servants of the sower wanted to gather all the tares in bundles and burn them, but the sower told them to let the tares grow with the wheat because if they gathered the tares, they could uproot the good wheat.

It is harvest time now. Many sowers have sown good seed in the past, but tares have been sown by My enemy when the church was asleep. When the reapers come, they will gather the tares and wrap them in bundles and burn them. I want those who are awake during this harvest time to keep sowing good seed.

MATTHEW 13:24-30

TRANSFORMED

My Word has transforming power.  Only as you abide in My Word daily will you be able to withstand the temptations that Satan will send you.

The world you live in today offers so many opportunities for you to be conformed to the world instead of being transformed by the renewal of your mind.

My Holy Spirit has the assignment to conform you to My image.  This means that He can help you to not be overwhelmed by the kingdom of darkness that is overshadowing the world today.  My Word is a lamp unto your feet.  It is My Word that will give you power to walk thru the darkness without stumbling.

ROMANS 12:2 

PURIFY

The condition of your heart is what truly matters. I said, For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornication, thefts, false witness, blasphemies (Matthew 15:19). 

When you were born again, you received My heart.  Your heart was circumcised.  However,  three worldly lusts remain in your flesh.

Solomon exhorted: "Keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life (Proverbs  4:23) Your words, actions, reactions, and responses flow from your heart. Pray for Me to help you purify your heart and ask me to search your heart as David prayed in Psalm 139:23-24.

MATTHEW 15:19; PROVERBS 4:23; PSALM 139:23-24

FRIENDS

The day came when I no longer called My disciples servants.  I called them friends because a servant does not know what his master does. I could call them friends because I had shared with them all the things that I had heard from My Father.

You are My friend also because I have revealed to you everything that I did and said when I was on earth in My Word.

Keep studying My Word and you will discover all you need to know about Me.  As you are faithful to pray and study My Word, you will not just know about Me, you will know Me intimately and you will become more like Me.

JOHN 15:15

APPOINTMENTS

We all have appointments during each day that we need to keep.  There is one appointment that we all have in common. We all have an appointed time to die.

Until that appointed time, you have divine appointments that I want you to keep.  It is good that you ask every day to give you divine appointments.

I have those appointments written down in My Book of Life.  You may have missed some of those divine appointments because you were not listening to My Holy Spirit.  Listen carefully during the day to the voice of My Spirit so you will not miss out on any of these divine appointments.

HEBREWS 9:27

EXALT

David wrote: "The LORD lives; and blessed be My rock and let the God of my salvation be exalted." Even though I had not come to earth in physical form, the psalmist David knew Me in the Spirit. He even said that My face was ever before Him.

David exalted Me because I was His rock.  I was the One he could run to whenever he was in trouble.  He knew that only I was the One Who could save him from his enemies.

I want you to exalt Me daily.  The word, "exalt," in Hebrew means to "lift up." I promised that if I was lifted up, from the earth, I would draw all men unto Me.  Every time you lift Me up by exalting Me when you are with others, I have the opportunity to draw them to know Me as their LORD and Savior.

PSALM 18:46; JOHN 12:32

0RDER

I have promised to order the steps of a good man, and I delight in his way.  Whenever anyone who loves Me seeks Me and asks Me to order their steps, I am delighted that this person asked.

I know that you desire daily for Me to lead you in the path I have chosen you to go each day.  When you ask Me,  I am delighted that you asked because I know you want to go My way and not your own way.

Whenever you make the request for Me to direct your steps, I will lead you step by step by My Holy Spirit.  I will put you in the right place at the right time to fulfill the assignments I have given you for that day.  Always remember that I am the One Who works within you both to will and to do of  My good pleasure.

PSALM 37:23; PHILIPPIANS 2:13

VESSEL

 A vessel is created to contain something (water or other things).  I created you to be a vessel that contains Me.  Yes, when you were born I was there.  I kissed you with My light even before that time.  The moment you were conceived, I was there.

I was even there with you before the earth was formed.  I formed the earth to be a vessel to contain the fulness of My glory.  This will only happen when many of the vessels I created allow Me to fill their vessels with My glory (My manifested presence).

I commanded the the light to shine out of darkness to give you the knowledge of My glory in My very face.  I put the light of My glory into earthen vessels like you so the excellency of the power might be of Me, not you. Every day ask Me to fill your vessel with My glory and then keep shining for Me.

2 CORINTHIANS 4:6-7

MIGHTY

You love to sing the song, "What a Mighty God we serve"  I truly am a mighty God. David wrote many songs about My mighty power.

He wrote Psalm 24:7-8: "Lift up your heads, O you gates, and be you lifted up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in.  Who is the King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle."

Never forget to call on Me to fight your battles when My enemy attacks your soul.  Remember to take every thought captive when Satan tempts you and give that thought to Me so that I can then fight that battle for you.

2 CORINTHIANS 10:4-5

OPEN

I have opening power.  I told My disciples to "Ask and it shall be given you, seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:  For every one who asks receives; and those who seek find; and to those who knock it shall be opened.

I want you to never hesitate to ask Me.  Ask Me for wisdom every day, and I will give it to you. Always keep seeking Me and you will find out more about Me every day.  

Keep praying and knocking on the door of My throne room. Whenever you pray to My Father in My name you can have sure confidence that if you pray anything according to My will, I will not only hear you, but I will also grant your request.  My door is always open to you when you come to Me.

MATTHEW 7:7-8; 1 JOHN 5:14-15

INCENSED

Whenever you are afraid, I want you to know that I am always with you.  Whenever you are dismayed, never forget that I am your God and I am able to strengthen you.

I will always help you in troubled times.  It seems that the whole earth is experiencing great darkness, but be confident that My light is always sufficient to penetrate the darkness. All those who have been incensed against you shall be ashamed and confused.

Even though you cannot feel My presence with you, I am upholding you with My right hand of righteousness. These promises were given to Isaiah many years before I was born on earth, but they are just as true in your lifetime as they were in the lifetime of Isaiah.

ISAIAH 41:10-11

PRESENT

You had many presentations in classes throughout your lifetime. I know you can remember being concerned about what you would say and how you would deliver your presentation.

There is one presentation that you will have when you first appear before the presence of My glory.  You do not have to be concerned or anxious about that presentation. 

I have been able to keep you from falling throughout your life. I will have exceeding joy when I present you before My Father's throne because you have been redeemed by My blood and have received My righteousness.  You will stand faultless before His glory.

JUDE 1:24

COMPASS

 David wrote: "For You, LORD, will bless the righteous with favor will You compass him as with a shield (Psalm 5:12)." David lived a life of flight and fear, but My favor was always surrounding Him.

He knew that he could run to Me, his high tower, whenever he was afraid.  When he was running from Saul, he knew that whenever he was overwhelmed, he could go to the rock that was higher than him.

He knew that I was a shield around about him, and that I was the glory and lifter of  his head.  Every time you are overwhelmed by the circumstances of life, know with assurance that I am your shield.  Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but I deliver them out of them all.

PSALM 5:12, 34:19

GREET

Paul always sent greetings to the churches and the people he had visited.  He was so good about keeping active correspondence with them.

It is so important for you to keep up with all of your friends.  Even though you may not call them everyday, I know you present all of them faithfully to Me each day as you lift them up in prayer.

I am so blessed that you greet Me every morning.  Always know that before you get in your prayer chair that I was with you through the night.  I look forward to our times together in the morning. As you pray for each of your friends, I greet them with a holy kiss even though they may not feel it.

1 THESSALONIANS 5:26

OVERWHELMED

I know you feel overwhelmed. when you hear teaching about the end times. This is why I told my disciples not to think about tomorrow because tomorrow will take thought of the things of itself.  

Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. There will be an increasing unveiling of the evil that exists in this day you are living.  I ask you to focus on the one thing that can get you through all the rest of your tomorrows.

That one thing is to seek  My kingdom first and My righteousness.  David had many hard times, and He got through those times by focusing on Me.  He wrote: "From the end of the earth will I cry unto You, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I (Psalm 61:2) I am your rock.

MATTHEW 6:34; PSALM 61:2

GARMENT

Every morning when you are dressing yourself, I want you to think about a garment that I want you to wear every day.  This garment never will be unclean and it will never wear out.

That garment is the garment of praise.  If you will be faithful to put on the garment of praise every day, your days will always be fruitful and you also will win every battle that you may face with my enemy.

I have given you the garment of praise to lift all heaviness away.  Praise is the devil's death nail, and he will not be able to have success with you if you will fill your day with praise. You can put this garment on by singing spiritual songs and hymns and making melody in your hearts.  Have a day filled with praise.

ISAIAH 61:3; EPHESIANS 5:19

UNTIL

When you were a teenager, you could not wait until you were eighteen when you would be considered an adult. As you age, it seems like the days just fly by.

I dwell in a place where there is no time or space.  I know you just cannot wait until I return to earth to take My bride home.  However, there is much to do on earth until that day.

Ask Me daily to fill you with My Holy Spirit's anointing so that each moment you have left on earth will produce more fruit for My kingdom.  Trust that I am the One Who works through you both to will and to do My good pleasure.  Trust your minutes into My hands and your last days will even be more fruitful than your earlier years.

PHILIPPIANS 2:13

PROCLAIMED

I listen to every word you speak.  Be on guard because demons also listen to every word you speak.  What you speak will give Satan and his demons ammunition to use against you.  The words you speak can contain either blessing or cursing.

Be careful not to speak negative words because negative words are curses.  Some people think that they can speak in secret and I then will not hear.  Be confident that I hear everything.

Luke wrote this: "Therefore whatever you have  spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and what you have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops (Luke 12:3)" Pray daily that the words of your mouth and the meditations of your heart will be acceptable in My sight.

LUKE 12:3; PALM 19:14

CROWNS

There are many crowns mentioned in My Word.  There is one that is given when you endure temptation or trials. I gave this warning to My disciples: "These things I have told you, that you might have peace. In the world, you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer: I have overcome the world (John 16:33).

As much as you would like to avoid hard times and testing, you will ultimately experience this if you live a normal life span.  I told My disciples just how they could be of good cheer during times of suffering.

I told them to do three things: Abide in Me, Abide in My Word, and Abide in My love.  I knew that if they would discipline themselves to do these three things that they would have both My peace and joy always.

JAMES 1:12; JOHN 16:33; JOHN 15

SACRIFICE

This is a day set apart to remember all those who have sacrificed their lives to purchase your freedom. The war you are fighting now is against the forces of evil that want to rob you of your spiritual liberty.

Your prayers and the prayers for many are making a difference.  I am hearing your cry for a great harvest time that will come to not only your country, but also to every nation.

I gave the ultimate sacrifice when I died on the cross to offer liberty from the bondage of sin. On that day, I won the victory for you over the devil and his demons.  I took away the keys of death an hell from the devil and you now have the keys to the kingdom to bind evil forces and release My Spirit.  Daily use those weapons that are spiritual and not carnal to pull down every stronghold. 

2 CORINTHIANS 10:3-6

ATTEND

When you were in school, the teacher for each class called out the attendance role.  Sometimes you would attend the class, but your mind was not attending to what the teacher was saying.

I have given you My Holy Spirit to teach and guide you into all truth. When you read My Word,  it is so easy to be distracted. You will be less distracted if you will read My Word out loud.

David wrote, "Hearken  to Me now therefore, O children, and attend to the words of My mouth (Proverbs 7:24)." The word, "hearken," means to listen, listening.  The next time you read My Word out loud, I want you to listen with your spiritual ears as well as your physical ears. 

JOHN 16:13; PROVERBS 7:24

CHOSEN

Many are called, but few are chosen. I taught the parable about the wedding feast that a king had prepared, but no one was counted worthy to be invited. The king then gave his servants the orders to go into the highways and byways and invite people to come to his feast.

When the king came to the wedding feast, he noticed a man who was not wearing a wedding garment. This guest was bound and cast out into outer darkness.

The only wedding garment that you must wear to My wedding supper is the robe of righteousness.  There are many that I am calling to come to Me, but many are refusing.  Pray that they will hear My call and chose to receive My invitation.

MATTHEW 22:8-13

WELLS

The prophet Isaiah wrote: "Therefore with joy shall you draw water out of the wells of salvation.  And in that day shall you say, 'Praise the LORD, call upon His name, declare His doings among the people, make mention that His name is exalted  (Isaiah 12:3-4)."

There are wells of salvation within you.  I want you to draw from these wells every day with My joy which is your strength.  When you draw water from these wells daily, your day will be filled with praise and you will declare My wonderful works to others.

People need their joy restored during these dark days in your nation. You have My living water of salvation that you can give them. Come to My waters and drink and share My joy with others.

ISAIAH 12:3-4; JOHN 7:37

WEDDING

I shared two parables about a wedding feast when I was on Earth.  Both parables were a warning to those listening to make sure they were ready for the wedding feast.

The wedding feast I want all to make is the wedding feast that I will host in heaven.  Some call it the marriage supper of the Lamb.

I would that none perish, but that all come to repentance and accept My invitation to come to Me and receive My offer to exchange their self-righteousness for My righteousness. I freely gave this exchange when I became sin for them when I was crucified so that those who believe in Me can be forgiven.  I want you to give this invitation to many.

MATTHEW 22;1-14; LUKE 14:16-24; REVELATION 19:7

EXPRESS

I am the express image of My Father.  I came to earth to express to the world exactly who My Father is. I revealed His glory to the world, and the day will come when all the earth will have the knowledge of His glory.

His glory was expressed in My face.  My Father commanded the light to shine out of darkness into your heart to give you the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in My face.

You have this very treasure in your earthen vessel so that wherever you go, My glory will shine through you to others.  You are being changed from glory to glory to be more like Me when you take time to talk to Me and read, heed, and meditate on My Word.

HEBREWS 1:3; 2 CORINTHIANS 4:6-7

CHANGE

So many of My beloved pray that I will change their hearts to be more surrendered to Me.  I do have the power to change hearts.  I have the power to soften hearts and to harden hearts.

I hear this request of sincere Christians who want to be more like Me.  I have promised in My Word exactly how your heart and the hearts of all My beloved can be changed.

The promise is: "But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the LORD, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the LORD.  As you spend quality time with Me and My Word which is like a mirror, My Spirit will be able to change you to be more like Me. 

2 CORINTHIANS 3:18 

PRODIGAL

I told the parable of what some today call the "Parable of the Prodigal Son."  The prodigal son asked for his inheritance early and then he left his family and spent his inheritance on riotous living. When he had no more money, he returned to his home.  His father did not condemn him.  Instead, his father threw a party for him.

The word, "prodigal" is used to describe wastefulness and recklessness.  There are many prodigal sons and daughters today that I am calling back to my family.  Seducing spirits have imprisoned them in worldly thinking and worldly ways.

Pray for these prodigals with faith believing that I long to have an encounter with them. Pray for that encounter.  One revelation of My love for them is all they need to return to be with Me.

LUKE 15:11-32

GRANT

There is so much that I have granted to those who love Me.  The first thing I granted to you was the gift of faith to believe in Me. Next, I granted you the gift of repentance.

After you repented of your sins, I granted you My forgiveness for your sins (past, present, and future). I also granted you the grace to live a blessed, abundant life.

Today and every day, I grant you the power and the anointing of My Holy Spirit both to give you the will to do My will and the way to do My works.

ACTS 11:18, 14:3; PHILIPPIANS 2:13

FLAME

When you strike a match and throw it into a stack of wooden logs, it takes oxygen in the atmosphere to ignite a flame.  I have called you to be the light of the world.  I want you to be not only a light, but I want you to be a flame that will never grow dim as long as you are on this earth.

The oxygen I supply that causes you to be that flame is My Holy Spirit.  My Holy Spirit is like a mighty wind that blows on you and causes you to burn with zeal in your heart for Me.

Allow My Holy Spirit to breathe a fresh anointing upon you daily, and I will then not only be able to keep the flame burning in your heart for Me, but also the grace to ignite others with My eternal love.

ISAIAH 10:17

BREAD

I am the true bread that came down from heaven.  I am the bread of life.  When you come to Me, you will never hunger and you will never thirst.

I told those listening that if they ate of this bread, they would live forever. When I said that bread was My flesh, some left Me because they did not understand.

Whenever you have communion, I want you to remember what I said to My disciples on that fateful night when I was betrayed.  First I blessed the bread and then I broke it and gave it to My disciples, and I said, "This is My body that is given for you." I gave My body as the perfect sacrifice for you.

JOHN 6:31-35

STORMS

This is summer season where you live, and storms come up suddenly. The sun can be shining brightly, and then it becomes very dark.  The wind picks up, and lightning flashes, and you seek to find shelter quickly.

It was such a storm that suddenly came upon My disciples as they crossed the Galilee.  I was asleep in the boat, and they could not believe that I was not concerned for them.  I calmly woke up, and said to the storm, "Peace be still."

Remember that I am in control over not only the weather, but also over the storms of life that suddenly seek to overwhelm you.  When those dark storms surround you and the waves of adversity seek to drown you, speak My words, "Peace be still."  Run to Me.  I am your shelter, and I will see you through all of life's storms.

MARK 4:37-39

ABSENT

Paul wrote: We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the LORD.  Wherefore we labor, that whether present or absent, we may be  accepted of Him         (2 Corinthians 5:8-9)."

I want you to always know that your days are written in your book of life.  The day you were born and the day you will die are written in this book.

As long as you are on earth, I want you to do the works I have given you to do.  I will see to it that you complete these works before I call you home to be with Me. Remember, the good works that I have begun in you, I will complete.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:8-9

ALL

 As you read my word, you will see the word, "all" many times.  I am not only your everything, but I am also your all in all.

Paul wrote, "And God is able to make all grace abound toward you that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work (2 Corinthians 9:8)."

Whenever you have doubts about whether or not you are doing all you can to do the work I have assigned you while you are on earth, I want you to remember this passage.  I am able to make all grace abound to you so that you will be equipped to complete all the good works I have given you.

2 CORINTHIANS 9:8

CONVERSATION

The psalmist David wrote: "Whoever offers praise glorifies Me: and to him who orders his conversation aright will I show the salvation of God (Psalm 50:23)."

The word, "conversation," in this passage can mean what you say and how you live.  What you say reveals what is in your heart.  How you live displays My character.

Pray each day that you will glorify Me in both word and deed.  When you fill your day with praises to Me, you will always glorify Me.

PSALM 50:23

FIGHT

Paul instructed Timothy to "Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal live, where you are also called, and have professed a good profession before many witnesses (1 Timothy 6:12).

Truly the faith to believe in Me is a gift of grace.  However, My enemy who is a thief will constantly try to get you to doubt.  To fight those times when you feel like your faith is not strong because My enemy has sent you condemning thoughts, take those thoughts captive and give those lies to Me.

When you were born again by My Spirit, you also joined the army of My saints.  Your enemy is the devil with his host of demons.  Resist thoughts of doubt, by saying out loud, "I have the mind of Christ."

1 TIMOTHY 6:12; PHILLIPIANS 2:5

ABLE

I know that often you do not feel able to be the best representative of My peace, joy, and love. You need to remember that the ability to do My will always comes when you are not depending upon yourself, but instead, you are depending upon Me.

Yield yourself every morning to My Spirit and ask Him to enable you.  He is your helper, and He will give you the ability to be the best representative of Me that day.

Remember how Paul looked to Me to empower him.  He wrote: "Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us." The power that works within you and all My beloved is the power of My Holy Spirit.

EPHESIANS 3:20

IMAGE

I created everyone born to be created into My image.  I was present at every conception.  I am the light of the world who lights every man who comes into the world.  However, many people have chosen to walk in darkness instead of allowing My Spirit to reignite My light in their lives.

You truly are the light of the world Who I have chosen to be changed from glory to glory into My image. This is why I want you to allow Me daily to make My light within you shine brighter and brighter until I return.

I know it is hard for you to imagine that one day you will be just like Me.  However, that is the promise of My heavenly Father: 1 John 3:2: "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be; but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is."

JOHN 1:9; 2 CORINTHIANS 3:18  

EVERLASTING

You are a part of an everlasting kingdom.  When you received Me as your LORD and Savior, you entered My everlasting kingdom.

The kingdom you entered is not meat and drink.  It is righteousness, peace, and joy.  My love for you is also everlasting.

During this time in the history of your nation when such darkness has entered it, remember that you are not of the world, but you are in the world.  You are of My Kingdom which means that you can enjoy My peace, righteousness, and joy through every fiery trial that you might experience.  REJOICE!!

ROMANS 14:17; PSALM 145:13

FAIL

I keep My Word.  I am a promise keeper and a covenant keeper.  The children of Israel had gone through the wilderness and had spent much of that time complaining to Moses about Me, but I still kept My promises to them.

I promised to take them to the promised land.  Moses never got to see the land of promise because he mocked Me in front of the children of Israel.  

Joshua along with Caleb were the only ones who survived the generation that died in the wilderness. After  Joshua entered the promised land he wrote: "There failed no good thing that the LORD had spoken to the house of Israel; all came to pass."  I will never fail to keep My promises.

JOSHUA 21:45
