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
