RIVERS

If you could have your eyes opened to see into the spiritual realm, you would be able to see the river of life flowing from My throne.  When I walked on Earth I stood on the Temple steps in Jerusalem, and  cried, "If any man thirst, let him come to Me and drink!" I promised that out of the belly of those
who believed in Me would flow living waters out of their bellies,




I want you to come to that river of life and drink from it daily.  I promised that I had living water that is eternal when I spoke to the woman at the well. When you spend time in My presence, your thirst will be quenched.




I am the living water that can daily wash the world off of you.  Spend time in My Word every day, and you will be bathed with My love and My peace.


JOHN 7:37-39

INDIFFERENCE

One of the hardest things for Me to watch is people who are indifferent to the message of My good news.  It grieves Me when someone shares My good news with a person, and that person simply is not interested.  I pray for that person when I see this.

I do not want you to be discouraged when you witness to people, and they seem to be indifferent.
They simply still has a veil over their eyes.  Pray that the eyes of their understanding will be opened. Pray that My Father may give them the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Me.

Pray that that their understanding will be enlightened and that they might know the riches of the glory that awaits them when they accept Me as  their Lord and Savior and receive forgiveness for their sins (past, present, and future).

EPHSIEANS 1:17-18

DESPERATE

I Know how inadequate you feel when you are called upon to minister to people who are in desperate circumstances.  Just remember that I ministered to many people who were desperate.  Remember the women who needed healing who had the issue of blood.  My virtue flowed through her the moment she touched the hem of My garment.

You can trust Me to do the same for you when you lay hands on people to pray for them.  I love to meet desperate needs.  Whenever you feel weak, I am strong in you.  Simply ask for the anointing of My Holy Spirit to work through you to minister what I choose to minister through you to that person who is desperate.

There is always hope for a desperate person because I am their hope of glory.  Trust Me to be the One Who knows all about how to minister to each person who comes your way for ministry.  Always remember that I am the One Who works through you both to will and to do of My Father's good pleasure.

MATTHEW 9:20-22; PHILIPPIANS 2:13; COLOSSIANS 1:27

PERSISTeNCE

Some of My beloved believe that if you keep praying for a certain request over and over again that this shows a lack of faith.  It is persistence in prayer that means everything to Me.  When you care enough to continue interceding about a matter or a person, I rejoice because you are unburdening yourself by giving that person or matter to Me even if you have to do this many times.

Persistence in prayer will always bear good fruit.  Never give up praying.  Every time you lift someone up to Me in prayer, I join your intercession. 

I perfect everything that is a concern to you.  Release your requests to Me, thank Me for answering, and keep praying about the matter or person.  Sometimes there is intense warfare in the spiritual realm that will only cease through unceasing prayer.

PSALM 138:8

PRIVILEGE

It is such a privilege for Me to hear your voice lifted to Me in prayer every morning.  So many of My beloved do not even take the time to say "Good morning" to Me.  Even when you feel like your prayers are so routine, I am listening carefully to your voice, and I love it.

Prayer is a privilege that I designed to benefit both you and Me.  As you praise Me daily, I draw closer and closer to you.  I dwell in the midst of your praises.

When you draw close to Me, I draw close to you.  This is the privilege that come when you communicate with Me through prayer.  Today, I want you to pray without ceasing.  This means that I want you to be conscious of My presence with you throughout the day.  Understand that you can talk to Me and you can listen to Me moment by moment.  Prayer is a privilege, not a duty.

JAMES 4:8; 1 THESSALONIANS 5:17

CORRECTION

The way you receive correction is the way that will determine most of your life.  When I said I am the way, the truth, and the life, I was proclaiming that receiving and following Me is the fruitful way, (a way filled with truth, and a way that will cause you to have eternal life and the ability to share that life with others).

I am your "Good Shepherd."  My responsibility as your "Good Shepherd" is to direct your path.  Whenever you are veering off the path that I have designed for you, I will use My rod of correction to pull you back on the right path.

My rod of correction is not a rod used to beat you.  My rod is My Word and it is designed to correct the way you are going.  My Word is given to you for correction, reproof, doctrine, inspiration and instruction.  Today and every day I exhort you to abide in My Word.  When you abide in My Word, you will keep on the right path that will lead you to have an eternally fruitful and meaningful life.

JOHN 14:6; 2 TIMOTHY 3:16; PSALM 23

PRESENTATION

I can remember how you used to be a little nervous before you presented a book report or a talk in school.  Since that time, you have spent much time in My presence, and those times with Me have helped you realize that I am the One Who will work through you whenever you give a presentation or even talk to others.

Every time you speak to any one during the day, you are giving a presentation.  You are presenting Me to that person by what you say, how you look, and what you do.  You truly are a letter read by people. 

Be conscious of the fact that you may be the only one with the opportunity to present My good news to someone.  Trust Me to put you in the right place at the right time to speak to those with prepared hearts to receive the words I give you to say.

PHILIPPIANS 2:13; 2 CORINTHIANS 3:2
