UNSPEAKABLE

My servant Peter wrote that even though you cannot see Me, you can rejoice with unspeakable joy because My Word reveals to you how much I love you.

Do not ever doubt My love for you or that I know you intimately.  I want you to grow in your intimacy with Me by spending time in My presence.  Take time to hear Me speak to you.

So many of My beloved are so busy, that they do not spend quality time with Me.  Pray for yourself and all those who you love to set aside a time every day that they can draw close to Me.

1 PETER 1:8

EVERLASTING

Isaiah prophesied centuries before I came to earth that there would be a time when the ransomed (redeemed) of the LORD would return and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon them.

This prophecy was looking forward to My return.  Even though there will be a time of peace in Israel during the day you are living now, there will be no everlasting peace until I return to earth.

Look forward to My return.  In the meantime, pray diligently that the leaders of Israel and America and many other nations will sign a successful peace agreement that will usher in a temporary peace

ISAIAH 35:10

ACCEPTABLE

I came to earth as a flesh man.  I am God in the flesh.  My Father wanted Me, His only begotten Son, to  come to earth so that He could identify with the flesh people on earth.

I gave My body as the perfect sacrifice to redeem people on earth from their sins.  I won the victory on the cross when I defeated Satan. Those who are born again now are enforcing this victory on earth.

I also came to preach the acceptable year of the LORD.  Only My Father knows the day and hour I will return. Until then, I want you to preach the gospel of the kingdom and to glorify My Father in heaven.

LUKE 4:18-19

STRONG

You are living in the season of time when many are falling away from their faith.  This is why I want you to abide in My Word daily.

I am the bread of life and My Word is also your spiritual bread.  When you abide in Me, My Word, and My love, you will remain strong in faith.

Abraham remained strong in faith even though he had to wait many years before he received the son I promised him.  He did not stagger in his belief because he believed that what I promised, I would fulfill.

ROMANS 4:20

BITTERNESS

Paul exhorted the Ephesians church to let all bitterness and wrath and anger, and clamor and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.

Then Paul challenged the church in Ephesus to be kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake has forgiven them.

I want you to pray that there will be a sweep of revival in your cities, states, and nation that will produce My love and righteousness once again in your government and also in the church.

EPHESIANS 4:31-32

LONG SUFFERING

I am  long suffering, and I never give up pursuing people to tell them about My power to redeem those who have sinned. Today I live within you and all believers who now share the gospel of My Kingdom.

My long suffering was manifested just after I was crucified and resurrected. I went and preached the spirits who were in prison in a place called paradise. They had not lived to hear My plan of redemption.

I did not give up on those who had died in the flood.  I preached to them and gave them the opportunity to believe in Me. I told the thief on the cross next to Me that I would see him in paradise and I did.

1 PETER 3:18-20

GRACE

It was by grace that you were saved.  There are many definitions for grace.  Grace is the supernatural ability to do what is impossible in the natural.

It was the power of My Holy Spirit that gave great boldness to my disciples after My resurrection.  That boldness even increased after Stephen was martyred.

My Word records, "And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the LORD Jesus: and great grace was upon them all (Acts4:33).  Pray daily for My grace to operate through you.

EPHESIANS 2:8; ACTS 4:33

UNTIL

Until now, the tares and the wheat have been growing together. The tares represent those who are not true believers and the wheat represent true believers. 

You are now experiencing the beginning of the last great harvest when I will first gather the tares, and bind them in bundles and burn them. Later I will gather the wheat into My barn.

This separation is taking place now as you see many falling away from their faith in Me. Pray for many to come to believe in Me during this harvest time.

MATTHEW 13:30

MINISTER

I came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give My life as a ransom for many. There were those who did minister to Me while I walked on Earth, and I was ever so grateful for their ministry to Me.

I gave My life so that you might have life.  After you received Me as LORD of your life, I then was able to minister to others through you by the anointing of My Holy Spirit.

There is a way that you can minister to Me daily.  Whenever you surrender your day, your way, and your will to Me in prayer, you are ministering to Me.  Just spending quality time with Me ministers to Me also.

MARK 10:45 

FIND

 Early in My ministry on earth I gave these three promises. "For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, it shall be opened.

Ask, Seek, Knock is what is required to come into an intimate relationship with Me.  Pray for the unsaved to ASK Me to come into their hearts. Pray for them to SEEK Me with all their hearts.

Pray that they will KNOCK on the door that will reveal My love to them.  The promise is that when you pray this prayer believing and receiving with faith for the unsaved, they will FIND ME. 

MATTHEW 7:8

ENDURES

My Word makes it clear that two things endure forever.  My Word which is the Word of Truth and My mercy will endure forever.

There are only a few things that you can take to heaven with you when you leave this earth.  You will be able to take My Word  that you have studied into heaven and that study will continue.

Pray for those who have never read My Word.  My Word is the text book on how to live a fruitful life.  Pray that because of My mercy, many on earth will once again value My Word and study it.

PSALM 100:5

SIFT

 Many are asking what will happen with the war in Israel. My Word tells you what is happening. The prophet Amos spoke of how I would sift Israel. This is what is happening now.

"For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as  corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth (Amos (9:9)."

This is harvest time.  Amos said, "Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper...." Take heart and do not be discouraged.  I am doing a short work in the earth.

AMOS 9:9, 13-15

JUSTICE

I judge the hearts of men and I do justice. I also am merciful. David wrote: "Justice and judgment are the habitation of My throne: mercy and truth shall go before My face."

I always mete My judgments with mercy.  Only I can see the hearts of men.  You cannot.  However, you can judge a person by their godly fruits.

I would that none perish, but that all would come to repentance.  Pray for the salvation of those who have yet to be born again. Pray that they receive My salvation so that they can bear much fruit before they die.

PSALM 89:14

DISCIPLINE

The word, "discipline" has the beginning of the word, "disciple."  If you want to disciple others, you must be disciplined. The good news is that you can ask My Holy Spirit to help you discipline yourself.

It truly takes the help of My Holy Spirit to discipline yourself because your flesh resists even the word, "discipline."  I want you to discipline yourself to abide in Me, My Word, and My love.

If you truly want to disciple others, ask My Holy Spirit help you to daily read, memorize, meditate and obey My Word.  Ask Him to place My love in your heart.  Ask Him to form My character in you.

ROMANS 8:26

DEEDS

The day will come when I will render to every man according to his deeds.  To those who know Me, the deeds that have been done through Me will be rewarded.

The works and deeds that I desired for you to do were written in your Book of Life before you were born. They were written even before the foundation of the earth.

There are works that I designed for you to accomplish in your life on earth.  You are My workmanship created in Me to do good works.  Ask My Holy Spirit daily to help you accomplish these works.

ROMANS 2:6;  EPHESIANS 2:10

RECEIVE

Your responsibility is to share the truths of My gospel - the gospel of the kingdom of God with others. Whether they receive what you share is not your responsibility.  It is Mine.

My beloved cousin was told that many were coming to Me.  John made it clear that he was not the Messiah. Then he said, "A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven."

No man will come to Me unless My Father draws him.  Pray that My Father will draw those you love to receive Me as their LORD and SAVIOR.

JOHN 3:27

SHORT

There is no question that you are in the last days now.  Have I not said that I will do a short work in these dark days?  Yes, I am true to My Word.

I am saving a remnant of true believers in all nations.  This includes Gentile and Jewish true believers.

Isaiah prophesied this about Israel.  He spoke: "For He (Me) will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the LORD make upon the earth."

ROMANS 9:27-33

HEARTS

I am the only One Who can change men's hearts.  I can soften hearts and I can harden hearts.  I want you to pray for your enemies.  

I know how very hard it is for you to pray for your enemies, but understand that I want them to come to know Me also.  

Lift the hearts of your enemies up to Me and ask Me to place My love in their hearts.  My Holy Spirit can do this. When you pray for your enemies, you are praying according to My will and I hear you.

ROMANS 5:5

EXHORTATION

The gift of exhortation is a gift of My Holy Spirit that all of the church needs during these dark end times.  So much evil is being exposed that sometimes I know it is hard to comprehend such wickedness.

I want to exhort you during these times when it seems the whole world is falling apart to keep your eyes upon Me.  I am Your hope and that hope will help anchor your soul from wavering with doubt.

Barnabas, one of My beloved disciples, was a great exhorter.  When he reached Antioch, he exhorted the church to: "with purpose of heart to cleave to Me."  Cleave to Me during these times.

ACTS 11:22-23

PRINCIPALITIES

Daily you are in a battle.  Satan's army includes principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, and wickedness in high places. Principalities are the demonic princes over cities, countries, and nations.  

The good news is that I have won the victory over all of Satan's army.  My Word says this: "And having spoiled principalities and powers, He made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it."

As a soldier in My army, you are called to enforce the victory daily by using My keys to the kingdom and warfare prayer.  You are seated with Me far above those principalities.  You have authority over them.

COLOSSIANS 2:15; EPHESIANS 6:12

CONTINUE

My servant Paul exhorted the Colossian church to continue in the faith grounded and settled.  He warned them not to be moved away from the hope of the gospel.

This is also My prayer and exhortation for you.  Hold on to the faith that you were given to believe that I am the Christ, the Son of the living God.

I gave you the faith to believe in Me, and now it is up to you to continue in faith, always believing in the hope that is the anchor to your soul.  Continue in faith, and you will be presented unblameable in My sight.

COLOSSIANS 1:22-23

IMMEDIATELY

My beloved Mark recorded many of My journeys when I was on earth.  As he wrote in his journal about those journeys, he included the word, "immediately."

When you have time re-read the gospel of Mark and count how many times he says "immediately." Mark was aware that this gospel he wrote had to have an immediate impact upon those who read it.

He felt that My return would be immediate.  This is why not even I know the day of My return.  Only My Father knows.  However, I want you to know and prepare yourself for my immediate return every day.

MARK 6:50

SEARCH

Pray for those you know and love who have  yet to understand the value of My Word.  They do not realize that the only way they can resist Satan is by speaking My Word (the Sword of the Spirit) out loud.

Pray that My Holy Spirit will give them a hunger for My Word.  Pray for My Holy Spirit to open the eyes of their understanding. Some may have a knowledge of My Word, but they lack understanding.

Pray that they will search for Me with all their hearts.  Pray that they will begin to search My Scriptures. My promise is that when they search for Me with all their hearts, they will find Me.

JEREMIAH 29:11-14

HAUGHTY

My beloved David confessed that  his heart was not haughty.  He wrote: "LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty, neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me."

David expressed My desire for every heart of those who believe in Me.  The world you live in today has so many distractions and so many directions that will pull your heart away from Me.

Pray today and every day that My Holy Spirit will  help you to place your affections on things above the earth instead of things in this world.  When you focus on Me, you will have peace and quiet in your soul.

PSALM 131:1; COLOSSIANS 3:2

ENDURES

"Blessed is the man who endures temptation for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which is promised to those who love Him.

It is no sin to be tempted.  You will be tempted to sin until your last breath is taken.  Satan and his demonic forces never give up.  This is why I told you exactly what to do when temptation comes to you.

The moment you hear the tempting suggestion by My enemy to give in to one of your lusts, take that thought captive immediately and give it to Me.  I will do battle for you, and you will endure temptation.

JOHN 1:12; 2 CORINTHIANS 10:3-6

GROW

Paul prayed: "That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive.

But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into Him in all things, who is the head, even Christ: 

You are My children and I do pray in agreement with Paul's prayer for all My beloved to grow up.  I have no greater joy than to see My beloved mature and become more like Me daily.

EPHESIANS 4:14-15

NAME

My name is above every name that is named on earth.  Whenever you are praying about an ailment you may have, put My name above it.

Whenever you have a problem with a name such as a financial problem, a relationship problem, or a job problem, put My name in prayer above that problem.

My name spoken will take away all fear.  My name spoken will interfere with the devil's plans.  My name spoken out loud will cause all of your anxiety to leave.  Lift up My name daily, and peace will come.

EPHESIANS 1:21

EVENTIDE

When I was on earth My disciples loved to go to Bethany where we often would find a place not only to eat, but also a place to rest when eventide came. We enjoyed fellowshipping with Lazarus and his sisters.

Even though we were all weary, I told My disciples that "I  must work the works of Him who sent Me, while it is day, the night comes, when no man can work." 

I say those same words to you and all my beloved on earth.  The eventide is coming very soon when you will no longer be able to work.  Pray that you will finish the assignments I give to you daily by eventide.

MARK 11:11; JOHN 9:4
