MIND

When I said in the beginning these words, "Let us create man in our image, after our likeness, mankind was destined to be like Me, My Father, and My Holy Spirit.  We are a triune being.  My Father is a spirit and I became the embodiment and exact same image of My Father. My Holy Spirit is the part of Me that dwells within you.

You are a spirit.  You live in a body, and you have a soul (mind, will, and emotions). I desire for you to display My image to those you meet along your journey on Earth. You have the opportunity daily to lift Me up when you display My love, peace, and joy to others. 

Ask My Holy Spirit to help you lift Me up. You used to sing a song, "Lift Jesus higher! Lift Jesus higher! Lift Him up for the whole world to see for if I be lifted up from the Earth I will draw all men unto Me." Let this be your song and challenge daily.

GENESIS 1:26; JOHN 12:32

DAYS

Moses wrote: "Teach us to number out days, that we might apply our hearts unto wisdom (Psalm 90:12)."  No one knows how many days they may have left on earth, but each day you live is very important to Me.

While you are on earth, you have the great privilege of glorifying Me which means to make My presence known to others.  I want you to consider reflecting My love, joy, and peace to those you meet in a day's time.

People are desperate in these dark days, and many people are filled with fear.  You know how to be present for such people and how to make My presence magnified to them.  Remember you are My ambassador on Earth.

PSALM 90:12; 2 CORINTHIANS 5:20

DISCERN

I was present at your conception.  Now that scientists can observe conception in a test tube, they always see a flash of light the moment a sperm penetrates an egg. That flash of light occurs when your spirit is born. 

You are a spirit being who lives in a body and who has a soul (mind, emotion, and will). Your spirit was being clothed in flesh the whole time you were in the womb of your mother.

When you were born, I also was present.  I breathed life into you just as I did with Adam in the beginning and he became a living soul.  I truly am the light of the world and also the way, the truth, and the LIFE.

JOHN 1:1-9, 14:6 

ENLIGHTEN

My friend Paul prayed a beautiful prayer for the Ephesian church.  It is a prayer that I want you to pray over your family, city, and nation.

You are in a period of darkness, but My Holy Spirit can enlighten your spiritual eyes to see the harvest that is coming after this period of darkness.  My Spirit can remind you of your calling and also empower you to fulfill that calling. 

Paul prayed that My Spirit would give wisdom and revelation and knowledge of Me. More than anything, I want you to come to know Me better every day.  This will happen as we daily commune together.

EPHESIANS 1:17-18

ADOPTION

Every child who is adopted is special because that child was chosen to be in a family.  I chose you to be in my family before you were even born.

I was present at your conception and birth, and I have have been with you ever since that time.  Every child that is born was designed and created by Me to be a part of My family.  Sadly many in later life have refused to be a part of My family.

Pray for those who do not know why they were born or even what family they were designed to join.  Pure religion is reaching out to the widows and fatherless.  There are many orphans in the world that need to know how much I love them and want them to be a part of My heavenly family.

JAMES 1:27

TENDER

On the day My cousin John was circumcised, his father Zacharias' mouth was opened and he was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, the following:

"And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Highest: for you shall go before the face of the LORD to prepare His ways; To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins; Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high has visited us....

Meditate today on the tender mercy of My heavenly Father who sent Me to redeem the world from sin. His mercies are new every morning.  Tomorrow He will have new tender mercies for you to enjoy.

LUKE 1:76-78; PSALM 59:16

TOGETHER

I chose twelve men to travel with Me as I journeyed to Jerusalem and to the towns around the Yam Kinneret (the Sea of Galilee). We camped out together and went to synagogues together.  We were like a family.

I never tired of their questions.  They had so many because it was not until I breathed My Spirit into them that they began to understand what I had been telling them all along.

It was comforting to Me to be surrounded by these men.  The interchange in our conversations was entertaining to say the least.  I want you to reach out to those who have no family surrounding them. Invite them to your home for dinners and to your church. I always seek to set the lonely in families, and I want you to do the same.

JOHN 20:21-22; PSALM 68:6
