RESIDE

I reside within you.  Never forget this.  I do not care how many demons might try to oppress you, always remember that you are the temple of My Holy Spirit.  Greater is He within you than He that is in the world.

My enemy would love to oppress and depress you.  You must resist the condemning, negative,  fearful, and lying thoughts that he gives you.  His major weapon is deception.  Fill  yourself with My Word, and speak My Word out loud against him.

Truth always wins.  The moment you have a thought that does not line up with My Word, take that thought captive and give it to Me.  I then will be able to do battle for you.  Use My name and declare My blood against Satan, and he will have to flee from you.

EPHESIANS 6:17; JAMES 4:7;

SORROW

I understand sorrow.  I understand the sorrow one experiences at the loss of a loved one.  I understand the sorrow of a mother and father who have a wayward child.  I understand the sorrow of a person who has been rejected or abandoned.  I understand the sorrow of a person who has been accused falsely.

I understand sorrow because I was a man of sorrows and I was acquainted with grief.  My soul was in agony in the Garden because I knew that I would have to bear the sorrows of the whole world when I gave Myself as the perfect sacrifice to die on the tree.  However, it was the joy that I knew would be available to all who sorrow after My death and resurrection that led Me to Jerusalem to be tried and crucified.

I came to give the garment of praise for those who are heavy in heart.  I came to give the oil of joy for mourning..  I came to heal the broken hearted.  Give Me your sorrows today and I will lift them off of you and replace your sorrow with My joy.  My enemy will never steal My joy from you.

ISAIAH 53:3-4; JOHN 16:20; HEBREWS 12:2; ISAIAH 53:4; 61:

RECONSIDER

Throughout your life, you will have circumstances that require decisions that could greatly impact not only your life, but also the lives of others.  When those circumstances occur, I want you first to consider what the practical solution to the problem is.  Then I want you to turn to My Word and reconsider what you think the best answer is.

It is so easy for you to make decisions according to what seems reasonable to you in the flesh.  However, to guard yourself against making the wrong decision, do not lean on your own understanding.  Reconsider your decision and turn to My Word and to Me in prayer.

Most all the mistakes that My beloved patriarchs in My Word made were because they did not inquire of Me before they went ahead of Me and attempted to solve their problems without My wisdom.  The results brought disaster and destruction.  Before jumping ahead of Me by making decisions in the flesh, come to Me and ask for wisdom.  Then seek confirmation of what you hear in the Spirit.  Does what you hear line up with My Word?  Do you have a peace in your heart about the decision.  Do those in authority over you and other counselors agree with your decision?

PROVERBS 3:5

IRRITATION

I want you to ask My help to keep you from being irritated with people or even with yourself.  Look at this word, "Irritate."  It is very closely related to the word "irate."  There truly is an element of anger when you are irritated with a person, and I do not want you to be angry with anyone or  yourself. 

The only person I want you to be angry with is the devil.  Understand that you are not fighting against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, rulers of darkness, and wickedness in heavenly places.  When you understand this truth, you will not be irritated with others or  yourself. 

The source of irritation is your flesh and when you give into your flesh, the devil can have his way with you.  Do not let this happen.  Ask My Spirit daily to help you have the anointing of My Spirit of wisdom and understanding when you are dealing with difficult people or whenever you just get mad at yourself.

EPHESIANS 6:12

BARGAIN

Most everyone wants to get a bargain.  It is exciting when you purchase something material at a real bargain price. However, the spiritual bargain that I offer is free of charge because I paid for it with My own shed blood when I was crucified to supply the perfect sacrifice that met My Father's requirements for right standing with Him.

All that is required to receive this spiritual bargain is to confess with your mouth that I am Lord and believe in your heart that My Father has raised Me from the dead.

This is a free bargain that will allow you to enter My eternal Kingdom that you will enjoy on Earth as well as for all eternity.  My Kingdom does not consist of material things like food and drink.  My Kingdom provides My righteousness (right standing with My Heavenly Father); My peace (peace of mind and heart no matter what your circumstances are); and joy in My Holy Spirit (internal joy that no one or My enemy can steal from you).  What are you waiting for?

ROMANS 10:9-10, 14:17

SANCTUARY

I have provided a sanctuary that you can enter daily without traveling to a church, temple, or synagogue.  That sanctuary is within you.  You are the temple of My Spirit.  You can enter this sanctuary daily as you still your soul to recognize My presence with you.

You live in such a busy, busy world, and it is so easy to start your day with your "To Do List," and to have your thoughts only on what the duties the world will require of you each day.  However, I have works for you to do in My kingdom that I have ordained for you to do each day.

It only takes a few moments in the morning for you to first give your "To Do List" to Me and ask My Spirit to establish  your thoughts so that you will be able to prioritize your day.  Then you can inquire of Me to lay on your heart anyone that you are to lift in prayer call or write that day and also any other works that I desire you to do that day.

1 CORINTHIANS 6:19; PROVERBS 16;3; EPHESIANS 2:10

RESIGN

When someone resigns from a job, that person usually has another job waiting for them or that person could no longer stand the work conditions they were experiencing.

You are a laborer in the kingdom of God, and I am your heavenly employer.  I know that you would never resign from the work I have prepared for you to do from the foundation of the Earth.  I know that the conditions on Earth often are trying, but it is My pleasure to give you the kingdom rights that no other kingdom can offer.

My kingdom is not meat nor drink.  It consists of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit that you can enjoy no matter what trials you may experience on Earth.  These are your rights as a co-laborer with Me in My Kingdom. Make it your goal today to tell the good news about My kingdom to others because most people want peace of mind and heart, right relationships with Me and others, and the internal joy that only My Holy Spirit can supply.

EPHESIANS 2:10; ROMANS 14:17
