TOGETHER

 I just finished the parable of the wheat and the tares.  I shared that the enemy had sown tares among the wheat. The servants wanted to gather up the tares so that the wheat could prosper.

The owner of the field said to let the tares grow together with the wheat. At harvest time the reapers will come and gather up the tares first. They will bind the tares in bundles and burn them.

The owner then will tell his servants to put the wheat in his barn. This is what you have today in your culture.  The true believers are together with those who are wicked.  I will separate the two at the end.

MATTHEW 13:24-30

DRAW

I said that if I be lifted up, I will draw all men to Me. I was lifted up when the soldiers nailed Me to a cross bar and lifted Me on to the tree.  Then they nailed My feet and hands to the tree.

I was lifted up then, and now it is your turn to lift Me up as you share what I purchased for you when I became My Father's perfect sacrifice. My blood was shed to forgive and redeem you from sin.

Be bold in these last days to share the redemptive plan My Father had with others.  Pray for their hearts to be fertile ground to receive Me as their LORD so they can be born again into My family.

JOHN 12:32

STEPS

"The steps of a good man are ordered by Me, and I delight in his way."  I rejoice whenever a person decides to follow My path of righteousness.

It brings Me great delight because I know that following My paths of righteousness will keep those who love Me from the snares My enemy may set.

I have strong angels who are guarding My righteous path.  My enemy will  have no success whenever he tries to get you off My path. I am with you as you take each step of faith. I will not let you fall.

PSALM 37:23

UPHOLD

Pray for those who are demonstrating in Iran.  Pray for My angels to surround them with their swords drawn to protect them. 

I am the One Who is with these people.  Isaiah wrote about how I can uphold those who are persecuted for righteousness.  Speak what Isaiah said over those in Iran.

"Fear not; for I am with you: be not dismayed for I am your God.  I will strengthen you; yes, I will help you; yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of My righteousness (Isaiah 41:10).

ISAIAH 41:10

RECOMPENSE

When you release all judgment to Me, I then begin to move.  It is impossible for you to judge a man's heart.  Only I know what is in a person's heart.

This is why I want you to release all judgment to Me.  When you do this in true faith believing in My power to avenge and to judge righteously, you do no longer have to persist in prayer. Only believe.

Trust what My Word says. Hebrews10:30"For we know Him Who has said, 'Vengeance belongs to Me, I will recompense," says the LORD.  And again, the LORD shall judge His people.

HEBREWS 10:30 

MOURNING

It was so hard for Me to go to see Mary and Martha who had just buried their beloved brother Lazarus. They were mourning, and had no idea what I was going to do.

I told Mary that I was the resurrection and the life. She said if  I had come earlier, I could have healed her brother.  My Father had other plans.

The mourners who gathered around his tomb saw the display of the resurrection power that I came to share with all those who will believe in Me.  All my beloved believers no longer fear death.

ISAIAH 61:3

 

BOAST

The only boast that we have is what Jesus has done for us  and through us.  Only He has been able to display His works through us.

For you are My workmanship, created in Me unto good works, that God has before ordained that you should walk in them. (Ephesians 2:10).

It is not by works that you are saved, but by faith.  Because you believe and confess that I was born, lived on earth, died for the sins of the world and was resurrected and ascended to heaven, you are saved.

EPHESIANS 2:10

REIGN

 The angel that came to Mary to announce that she would conceive Me by the Holy Spirit also told Mary that I would rule over the house of David and that My reign would have no end.

Luke recorded the message given to Mary on that important day in history. Luke 1:32-33: "He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest."

The angel added: "and the LORD God shall give to Him the throne of His father David," When you were born again, you entered the kingdom that will have no end.  Praise Me. You will live with Me for eternity.

LUKE. 1:32-33

SPACE

Something that most people need is a time and space to relax from the everyday chores.  That short space of time is best used when you spend it with Me.

As you read the Book of Acts, you will see how busy My disciples were as they were energized by My Holy Spirit to present My gospel to as many as they could reach.

Even they needed that space of peace in My presence.  After the prophets Judas and Silas had spoken to the multitudes, they tarried there for a space so that they had strength and peace to go to the next place. 

ACTS 15:33

LOOKING

People in your day have become observers,  NOT doers.  When TV came on the scene, people sat for hours looking at the TV.  Many in My body on earth stopped looking to Me.

Many in My body on earth are not spending time listening for My voice. I can instruct and guide them by My Word and My Holy Spirit.  Instead, they are going to Google or YouTube to find out how to do things.

Even though My Word does not have technical instructions, My Word is filled with all anyone needs to know on how to have a fruitful life. Pray to become a doer of My Word and a hearer of My voice.

HEBREWS 12:2

EXCEEDING

I am able to do exceeding abundantly above all that you could ask.  When you make your requests known to Me, remember the power that I have.

I look forward to receiving your requests so make your requests with thanksgiving because you know that I love to make My glory demonstrated on earth as I answer your requests.

You will be able to stretch out your faith to even believe for the impossible because you know the power that I have.  I have given you the same power, and I exhort you to use that power daily.

EPHESIANS 3:20

HOLDING

My servant Paul wrote the Philippian church and exhorted those in the church to keep holding forth the word of life.

That is also My exhortation to the body of Christ today.  You are living in the days of deception and delusion.  My truths are being twisted and people are calling evil good and good evil.

This is why I want you and all My beloved to be bold to speak the truths and hold forth the words of life.  You and My body on earth have the words of life that can save many.  Speak those words of life boldly.

PHILIPPIANS 2:16

SINK

When Peter saw Me walking on water, he wanted to come to Me.  He was walking well on the water until the winds and waves began to increase.

He cried out to Me saying, "LORD save Me."  I stretched forth My hand and I pulled him out of the water. 

You are living in stormy times. Always remember to cry out to Me, and I will save you from the fear that tries to overtake you.  Pray that those in Israel and every nation will cry out to Me and be saved.

MATTHEW 14:30-31

SOBER

You live in sobering times.  The world is in turmoil as I predicted it would be as the days draw nearer to My return to earth.

More than ever, these are the times that you need to be sober and vigilant as you do warfare against Satan. Right now it seems like so many you know are under attack by Satan.

Peter exhorted My body on earth to be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil as a roaring lion, walks about seeking whom he may devour: whom resist steadfast in the faith.

1 PETER 5:8-9

CONTINUE

When I walked on earth, our days were simple.  We did not have all the distractions that you have today. We walked for miles to get to our destinations and this gave us time to pray. 

I want you to ask the Holy Spirit to help you prioritize your days.  The promise is that if you commit your works to Him, He will establish your thoughts.

The most important thing that you cannot leave out daily is your time with Me.  You must continue in My Word in order to be My disciple.  Continue also committing your way and your day to Me.

JOHN 8:31;; PROVERBS 16:3; PSALM 37:5

SILENCE

 "Let the lying lips be put to silence, that speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous." David, my beloved psalmist wrote this years before I was born.

This is a good prayer for you to be praying now as your world is filled with lying lips.  Pray for those words against the righteous to be silenced.

Ask My Holy Spirit Who is the Spirit of Truth to fill the atmosphere with His truths.  You can fill your own atmosphere daily by speaking My truths out loud.

PSALM 31:18

FALLOW

The men of Judah were exhorted to break up the fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.  I shared the parable about the seed of God's Word and the condition of the ground where the seed fell.

This parable is all about how people hear the Word of God. The seed that fell by the wayside were the ones who heard My Word, but they did nothing with it and Satan stole My Word from them.

The ground where the seed of My Word fell was fallow ground.  The ground had not been cultivated. Cultivate your ability to not only hear My Word but do My Word.  Ask the Holy Spirit to help you.

JEREMIAH 4:3; LUKE 8

YEARS

Today is the first day of your new year.  I know it seems like you just celebrated last year's New Year. I live where time is no more.

Moses wrote: "For a thousand years in Thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night (Psalm 90:4)."

Moses also wrote: "So Teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts to wisdom." Do not let a day pass without asking My Holy Spirit to help you apply wisdom and discernment to your heart.

PSALM 90:4,12)
