I created your five senses so that you could be satisfied with the wonderful things I created you to enjoy on Earth.
I created your sense of sight to enjoy the beauty of nature. I created your sense of smell to enjoy the delightful fragrances that come from spending time in My presence and time in nature. I created your sense of touch so that you could feel the tender touch of loved ones.
I created your sense of taste so that you could enjoy the delectable flavors of food. I created your sense of hearing to hear My voice and the sounds of praise from all of nature when the sun comes up and the sun goes down.
I want your senses to always be satisfied with My creation, not with what this world has to offer. You have worldly lusts within you that are never satisfied. Those worldly lusts (the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life) can cause you to respond to the tempter who wants you to overindulge and become addicted through the cravings of your senses. Be on guard against the tempter, and today say "No" to those worldly lusts that can never be satisfied.
1 JOHN 2:16

RECOGNITION
Living a fruitful life is easy when you simply do two things: hear My voice and obey My voice. I deliver My voice to you in many ways. The main way that you hear My voice is as you read My Word. Always ask My Holy Spirit to speak to you when you read My Word.
You can hear My voice through the still, quiet voice of My Holy Spirit within you. You also can hear My voice through the teaching and preaching of My Word. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.
The problem with the culture that you live in is that there are many voices vying for your attention.
Daily, you hear the voice of My enemy who tempts and sends negative messages to you. You also hear the voice of others. Most of the day, you hear your own voice (the voice of your flesh). The voice of your flesh says, "I want, I feel, and I think. Often My enemy will use the personal pronoun "I" to try to fool you into thinking his thoughts.
Pray today that you will recognize My voice when I speak to you, and then pray that My Spirit will give you both the desire and the power to obey My voice.
ROMANS 10:17

FAITH
Many of My beloved feel that they do not have enough faith to pray for miracles to happen in people's lives. After My death, resurrection, and ascension, one hundred and twenty of My followers gathered in the upper room where I told them to wait until they received the promise of My Father.
It was in that upper room that My followers were baptized with the Holy Spirit and with fire. They had already received My Spirit when I breathed My Spirit into them before I ascended to My Father.
On that Pentecost day, My Spirit immersed them with power, and they received the full anointing of My Spirit spoken about by the prophet Isaiah. They received the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, might and counsel, and knowledge and the fear of the Lord. They received the full anointing of My Spirit, and they were emboldened to be My witnesses throughout Judea, Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the world.
On that special Pentecost day, they also received something that all who believe in Me can receive.
They received My faith. When Peter and John healed the lame man at the gate Beautiful in front of the temple, Peter said that it was by My faith and faith in My name that healed this man. You have My very faith within you. Draw upon My faith when you pray for people to be healed and set free.

SNARE
Beware of the snares My enemy prepares to entrap you. He prepares his snares with the very words you speak. Your spoken words are also the ammunition My enemy uses as fiery darts to wound your soul. Solomon wrote, "You are snared with the words of your mouth, you are taken with the words of your mouth (Proverbs 6:2)."
Be extremely careful about what you speak. Use the "Think Test" that Paul wrote about as a "Talk Test." Speak only the following things:
Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report: if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. (Philippians 4:8).
Solomon wrote, "As a man thinks in his heart, so is he" (Proverbs 23:7). When you blurt out all the negative words My enemy gives you in your mind, you are helping My enemy ensnare you. Solomon also wrote, "Whoso keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles (Proverbs 21:23).
Be careful today not to cooperate with My enemy as he tries to entrap you.
PROVERBS 6:2; PHILIPPIANS 4:8; PROVERBS 23:7, 21:23)

BIBLICAL
I know how you want to check every talk or sermon that you hear to see if what you heard was biblical. When I walked on Earth, I spoke biblical things. I quoted often from the Tenach as you know it today.
When I read from the prophet Isaiah in the synagogue, I was declaring that the anointing of the Holy Spirit was upon Me. Isaiah also prophesied about My ministry. Sadly many of My Jewish brethren today do not read the Holy Covenant that I made with them.
Pray for those you know who do not read the Holy Book that was written by men, but inspired by My Holy Spirit. The Bible as you know it today is the manual for life. The world is in a mess now because few read this wonderful manual for life.

INSTRUMENT
I have heard you sing, "Lord, make me an instrument for Your glory." Rest assured that I have made you and all My beloved instruments for My glory.
I also want you to know that I have made you a powerful instrument to resist and destroy all the works of the evil one. Isaiah wrote:
"Behold I have created the smith that blows the coals in the fire, and that brings forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.
No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment, you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of Me, says the Lord (Isaiah 54:16-17).
I have created you to be a fine threshing instrument to waste and destroy all the works of the devil. Never be afraid of the devil. I am greater within you than he is. (See Isaiah 41:15.)
ISAIAH 54:16-17, 41:15).

MEMBERSHIP
There are so many clubs, classes, and conferences that you can join. Life is much more complicated for you today than it was for Me when I walked on Earth. When I prayed to My Father to tell Me Who should join Me in the ministry, He told Me exactly those who would be faithful to Me.
When the twelve joined Me, they had no fees, dues, or payments to make. They did not realize, however, that eventually their membership with Me would cost them their lives. I have called you also to be My disciple. You may not have to physically die to join Me in ministry, but I do want you to reckon yourself dead daily to sin and alive to Me.
The benefits of joining Me in ministry are eternal. Other earthly memberships pale in comparison to the membership in My eternal kingdom. Listen carefully today to the voice of My Spirit as He leads you to share all about your eternal membership with Me with others.
