LAST

There are many verses in My Word that have the word, last, in them.  However, the one I want to share with you is the most important verse.

This is a word that should be first instead of last on your list to share with others.  The verse is: "And this is the will of Him Who sent Me, that every one who sees the Son, and believes in Him, may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up on the last day (John 6:40).

The only way others in the world can see Me is that I reveal Myself to them in the Spirit.  Pray for the many souls who have yet to know Me to have faith eyes to see and receive Me as their Lord and Savior.

JOHN 6:40

TRAVAIL

A woman is in travail and has sorrow because her hour has not come, but as soon as her child is delivered, she is in anguish no longer for the joy that she birthed a child.  This is an illustration of what the world is experiencing right now.

When my disciples asked Me when the end of the world would come, I told them that no man knows the time, but they can know the season.  You are in the season of travail right now.  I called this time "the beginning of sorrows."

This time of travail must happen before I return. Even all creation is travailing now. Those who believe in Me are looking forward to My return.  Until that time, I want you to prevail during this time of travail just as a mother prevails even through travail because she looks forward to the joy that is coming.

JOHN 16:21; MATTHEW 24: 8; ROMANS 8:22

CAPTIVITY

I am the captain of the heavenly hosts.  I will come to your aid quickly when you are trying to pull down the strongholds in your life.  Know that only I can help you win the battle over your thought life.

Paul knew the secret to pulling down those strongholds.  He knew that the weapons he used were not carnal, but they were mighty through God.  It is only through Me and My power that those strongholds can be brought down.

The moment you receive an imagination, or high thought that exalts  itself against the knowledge of Me, bring that thought into captivity to My obedience. I will then help rid you of that thought.  Obey this exhortation and then you will always be ready to revenge every disobedient thought that my enemy puts in your mind.

2 CORINTHIANS 10:4-6

STEADFAST

It seems that things around the world and in your nation are moving very fast.  Many changes are happening and you may think that you cannot even keep up with the latest news.

The good news is that you are not in the world nor of the world.  You live in My kingdom and My kingdom is unmovable.  I want you to continue the work I have given you to do and remain steadfast in faith.

Come to Me in the morning and ask My Holy Spirit to lead and guide you throughout your day.  I have ordained works for you to accomplish each day.  As you remain steadfast in My Word and in your dependency on My Holy Spirit. you will accomplish every work I have designed for you.

1 CORINTHIANS 15:58 

CAST

 I want you to humble yourself by casting every care upon Me because I care for you.  Know without a doubt that I can perfect everything that is a concern to you.

When a fisherman casts his line out into the lake, he waits in quietness and trusts that he will get a bite from a fish. When he gets a bite, he moves the line around to hook the fish. This is the way I want you to wait upon Me.

When you pray about something that concerns you, be willing to wait for the answer.  Be patient.  You receive the promises I have provided with faith and patience .  Wait and know with great assurance that I have heard your prayer.  If the answer does not come right away, begin to praise Me for the answer.

1 PETER 5: 6-:7; PSALM 138:8; HEBREWS 6:12

WORKS

When I come in the glory of My Father with His angels, I will reward every man according to his works. Your works are written in your Book of Life.  That Book contains the works that I want you to accomplish on Earth.

The works for you to do were ordained by Me even before the foundation of the Earth.  I do not want you to miss doing these works.  Keep in mind, however, that the works that ordained by Me are also accomplished through Me.

I work within you to give you both the will and the way to accomplish these works. Give yourself and your day to Me every morning and ask My Holy Spirit to help you accomplish those works.  Pray that you will be on the same page as I am in your Book of Life.

EPHESIANS 2:10; MATTHEW 16:26; PHILIPPIANS 2:13; 

SHADOW

All fears are but shadows.  They are not real.  You must remember this because My enemy wants to paralyze you with fear.  You live in times when fear could just overwhelm you, but always remember that I am real.  I am not a shadow.

I am real, and I can hide you under the shadow of My wings.  When you hide yourself in Me, there is nothing to fear.  I desire for you to only have one fear in your life and that is the fear of Me.  You fear Me when you stand in awe of My power and My love and you desire to obey My commandment to love Me and others as I love you.

I am merciful, and you can trust in Me.  Trust in the shadow of My wings today and every day and make your refuge in Me until these calamities be over and past.

PSALM 57:1
