I am the One Who by My Spirit persuades people to come to Me. I do not beg. I do not insist on My way. I do not force Myself on others. Instead, I gently give the invitation for those who have burdens and those who need salvation to come to Me.
I give an open invitation to the world to come and believe in Me so that those who believe in Me will have eternal life. No person, however, can answer that invitation and come to Me unless My Father draws that person by the power of My Spirit (My Holy Spirit).
Today, pray for those you know who have yet to accept Me as their Lord and Savior. Release their hearts to the persuasive power of My Spirit. Whenever you are praying for the salvation of another, you are praying according to My will since I would have none perish, but all come to the knowledge of My saving grace.
JOHN 3:16-17; 2 PETER 3:9

MIND
The mind is the battlefield. Just as the children of Israel faced one battle after another as they claimed the promised land after crossing over the Jordan River. you also will face one battle after another in your mind after you are saved.
Do not be discouraged. Take every thought captive that is contrary to My character and My will, and give that thought to Me. Then I can do battle for you. Remember always that the battle is Mine and the victory is yours.
Keep your mind always focused on Me, and I will be able to flood your mind with My peace. It is My joy to do battle for you moment by moment. You have My mind. Rest in the knowledge of that true fact, and receive My peace. Peace of mind is what the world longs for, and you can rejoice because I have paved the way for you to have this peace continually.
2 CORINTHIANS 10:3-6

NEW
The day will come when there will be a new heaven and a new earth. You can look forward to that day. However, until that day comes, you can enjoy a new day every day. I am the One Who makes all things new.
When you walk in the Spirit, you can experience newness of life moment by moment. I am able to wash away your past, and provide for you a new, fresh start. Yes, you will have to experience the consequences that come when you walk in the flesh, but do not become discouraged.
My mercies are new every morning, and great is My faithfulness. On this day when you celebrate My resurrection from the dead, celebrate also the newness of life that I have given you. I exhort you to stay close to Me moment by moment so that you can experience the fullness of joy that being in My presence provides.

REFERENCE
I remember how you used to have to look up many references when you were doing a term paper in high school and college. References are important, and it is a good thing to know the book and verses from My Word when you present My Word to others.
Often I will give you a verse or passage to speak to another person, and you do not remember where that verse or passage is located in My Word. My Holy Spirit will definitely draw from your spirit to pull up verses that relate to situations that people are experiences.
Do not feel like you have to give the reference to that person you are speaking to at the moment. What is important is that you speak My Word with My anointing. My Word never returns void, and it always performs what it is sent to do. In fact, quoting to people who are not believers the reference and the verse found in My Word may make them think you are super religious, and you just might lose your audience.

STATISTICS
Some people love statistics, but there is one statistic that they do not love. That statistic is that death is 100% assured for 100% of all the people born. However, I have provided a statistic that will bless you today. That statistic is that people will all physically die, but those who believe in Me shall never die. Eternal life is that you believe in Me and the My Father Who sent Me.
I have promised those who believe in Me to live forever. Yes, you will have your appointment with death, but your death will be your entrance into the rest of all eternity with Me. To be absent from the body is to immediately be present with Me.
When you take your last breath, your spirit that has been regenerated will leave to be with Me. Death has lost its sting and there is victory over the grave because of My death and resurrection. Meditate on these facts during this "Holy Week," and also rejoice because the day will come when you will have a glorified body. These facts and statistics should make you shout, "Hallelujah!!"

INTERESTS
When you meet a new person, I have noticed how you often ask them what their interests are. It is a good way to find out about people. I ask you today the same question. What are your interests?
Your interests usually include what you love to do.
Today, review what your interests are, and you will discover where I am in your list of interests.
My prayer is that your list of interests will put Me at the top. The key to having a fruitful life is to put Me first. People get themselves into discouraging, desperate situations when they do not put Me first.
I promised to take care of all of your needs if you seek first My Father's kingdom and My righteousness. I promised that everything that you need in life will be added to you if you will seek Me first. I long for My beloved to put Me first in their lives because I know that they will be spared much disappointment and discouragement in life if they will seek Me with all of their hearts. Remember always that you are on My top list of interests. I am interested in every aspect of your life. What concerns you, concerns Me, and I am able to perfect everything that is a concern to you.

FELLOWSHIP
I love to be in the midst of My beloved when they fellowship with one another. I love to hear them speak about Me and My Word. It is so important that you fellowship as much as possible in these last days because it is during those times that you are strengthened.
The testimonies and prayers of others during gatherings that exalt Me, will comfort your heart and give you great joy. There is such power in agreeing prayer as you pray about one another's requests.
You also will be strengthened as you listen to others read My Word. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by My Word. Take every opportunity to exalt Me and edify and exhort one another during your fellowship times with other believers.
