FR IEND

You are living at a dark time in history.  However, at the same time, you are experiencing the greatest harvest of souls ever.

This is not a time to isolate yourself.  It is a time to reach our to others and to make many friends because a friend is one who is willing to love you through whatever adversity you may experience.

I challenge you and all those who may be reading this post to reach out to others.  Reach out to the unsaved with the gospel of My kingdom.  Reach out to the body of Christ to encourage and exhort them.

PROVERBS 17:17

UNDER

 Paul said that there are none righteous, no not one.  We all are under sin.  Our only hope is that we will believe that Jesus shed His blood to redeem us from sin.

We can be born again when we believe that Jesus Christ died, He was put in the tomb, and He rose again from the grave.

Jesus gives this invitation to all who want to be saved.  The invitation is to the whole world. However, few make this confession. Pray for those who you know who need to be saved and to make this confession.

ROMANS 3:9

DRINK

When I talked with the woman at Jacob's well, she asked Me where My container was to draw water? Then I told her all about her life and told her also that I had living water that she could drink.

I told her that if she drank this living water that she would never thirst again.  She did not understand what this meant.

You can drink from the living water of My Spirit every day as you pray and read My Word and spend time with Me.  I will fill your thirst to know Me better each day. Give Me thanks for quenching your thirst.

JOHN 4

AGREE

You have seen the power of agreement that resulted as you faithfully prayed for people who had left the faith.  You saw them come back to Me.  This is the power of agreement.

Think about what will happen at this harvest time when people gather to pray for the salvation of others who they know.  I have promised that if two agree on anything and ask it in My name, then I will do it.

Keep praying for those you know who need to come to Me.  As you pray in agreement with others for the salvation of friends, families, and neighbors to be saved, you will see how quickly I answer such prayers.

MATTHEW 18:18-19

RETURN

During this harvest time there will be a great return of prodigals to their faith.  So many young people  were seduced and led astray by My enemy.

These prodigals have experienced what the world offers, and they realize now that the world does not offer them peace of mind and heart.

Pray that many will have a hunger and thirst for My Word and to walk righteously.  Declare these words: "This is the generation of those who seek Him, that seek Your face, O Jacob. Selah."

PSALM 24:6

ENTIRE

 I always complete what I begin.  My brother James wrote about patience (long suffering) which is one of the fruits of the Spirit.  The fruits of the Spirit are developed as you mature in your faith.

James wrote: "But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and entire wanting nothing." My desire is that you lack nothing in any of the fruits of the Spirit.

Ask My Holy Spirit will help you to develop the fruits of the Spirit when you need help.  He is your helper and it is the fruits of the Spirit that people see as My light shines daily through you.

JAMES 1:4; GALATIANS 5:22-23

PERSEVERANCE

Paul exhorted the Ephesian Church to put on the full armor of God.  Many in My body on earth do not realize that an important part of the full armor is prayer.

It is perseverance in prayer that can even change nations when you faithfully pray as My Spirit leads you to pray.

This exhortation is at the end of the full armor: "Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints."

EPHESIANS 6:18 

ROYAL

There are many kings over countries, and the ceremonies to crown them as king are quite beautiful and ornate. The crowns of queens and kings are usually solid gold with many precious jewels in them.

Peter wrote: "But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, that you should show forth the praises of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light (1 Peter 2:9)."

Never doubt that I have chosen believers to be royalty in My kingdom on earth.  The purpose of believers is to shine as precious jewels who give Me praise for delivering them out of darkness into My light.

1 PETER 2:9

REPORT

There are so many things that you can think about during a day.  However, Paul encouraged the Philippians to think on things of good report.  

Every day you are overwhelmed with bad reports that come over your computer and TV.  Your peace will be robbed when you do not focus on the good news that is found in My Word.

Ask for My Holy Spirit daily to help you to have your mind stayed upon Me.  When you do this, you will have peace and joy throughout your day.

PHILIPPIANS 4:8; ISAIAH 26:3

INTERPRETER

So many in the young generation have not known the scriptures. Many families did not teach their children God's Word.  Young people are beginning to hunger to know My Word.

Pray for those who are ministering to this generation to be anointed to teach and lead this generation into the truths of My Word and show them how to apply those truths to their every day lives.

It is My Holy Spirit Who can interpret My Word correctly.  I sent Him to lead and guide people into all truth.  Pray that this generation will allow My Spirit to help them understand My Word.

JOHN 16:13

INTENTS

I want you to commit your works to Me so that I can establish your thoughts.  I will establish your thoughts as you read My Word.

My enemy will do everything he can to distract you from reading and meditating on My Word because he knows that it is through My Word that you will discover what My will for you is each day.

My Word can discern the intents of your heart.  My Holy Spirit will place the intentions I have for you each day.  Listen to your heart and you will hear what I intend for you to do moment by moment.  

PROVERBS 16:3; HEBREWS 4:12

YES

All the promises in My Word are "Yes and Amen" in Me.  There are many promises to those who love Me and are called according to My purpose.

My Word contains a promise for whatever problem you may be having in your life.  There are conditions, however, to many of My promises. They must be fulfilled before you can receive My promises.

If you abide in Me and My Words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you.  Abiding in Me, in My Word, and in My love are the conditions for the fulfillment of My promises.

2 CORINTHIANS 1:20; JOHN 15:7

VAINGLORY

My servant Paul wrote the following: "Let nothing be done through strife  or vainglory: but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves."

It is pride that causes you to have strife.  Most relationships that have been difficult can be mended when you esteem the other person higher than yourself.

When you have a heart full of humility, you will lead a life with the absence of strife.  Pray for My Spirit to keep you both humble in mind and in spirit.

PHILIPPIANS 2:3

MIDNIGHT

My servant David enjoyed his time with Me so much that he even rose at midnight to give praise to Me. 

He wrote: "At midnight I will rise to give thanks to You because of Your righteous judgments (Psalm 119:62)."

I know that you and many others get up several times in the night.  Use those times to sing a song of praise to Me or to just read something from My Word. When you do this, you will awake refreshed.

PSALM 119:62

INSTRUCTION

Many in your culture today go to YouTube or the computer to find information on how to do some project or solve some problem. However, My Word has the information you need for living a fruitful life.

My servant Paul wrote to Timothy these words: "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

That the man of God may be  perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all  good works." Make sure to daily read and heed My Word.  When you do, you will receive the instructions for a joyful, fruitful life.

2 TIMOTHY 3:16-17

BELLY

On the last "Great Day" of the Feast of Tabernacles, I stood on the Temple steps and cried out loudly this invitation: "If any man thirst, let him come to me, and drink."

This invitation was for all those who believed on Me. Those who accepted this invitation to receive the living water of My Holy Spirit would receive rivers of living water.

That living water is available today for everyone who believes in Me.  My invitation is always open to all who want to receive the flow of My Spirit from their belly (the inner spirit).

JOHN 7:37-38
