CROWNS

There are many crowns mentioned in My Word.  There is one that is given when you endure temptation or trials. I gave this warning to My disciples: "These things I have told you, that you might have peace. In the world, you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer: I have overcome the world (John 16:33).

As much as you would like to avoid hard times and testing, you will ultimately experience this if you live a normal life span.  I told My disciples just how they could be of good cheer during times of suffering.

I told them to do three things: Abide in Me, Abide in My Word, and Abide in My love.  I knew that if they would discipline themselves to do these three things that they would have both My peace and joy always.

JAMES 1:12; JOHN 16:33; JOHN 15

SACRIFICE

This is a day set apart to remember all those who have sacrificed their lives to purchase your freedom. The war you are fighting now is against the forces of evil that want to rob you of your spiritual liberty.

Your prayers and the prayers for many are making a difference.  I am hearing your cry for a great harvest time that will come to not only your country, but also to every nation.

I gave the ultimate sacrifice when I died on the cross to offer liberty from the bondage of sin. On that day, I won the victory for you over the devil and his demons.  I took away the keys of death an hell from the devil and you now have the keys to the kingdom to bind evil forces and release My Spirit.  Daily use those weapons that are spiritual and not carnal to pull down every stronghold. 

2 CORINTHIANS 10:3-6

ATTEND

When you were in school, the teacher for each class called out the attendance role.  Sometimes you would attend the class, but your mind was not attending to what the teacher was saying.

I have given you My Holy Spirit to teach and guide you into all truth. When you read My Word,  it is so easy to be distracted. You will be less distracted if you will read My Word out loud.

David wrote, "Hearken  to Me now therefore, O children, and attend to the words of My mouth (Proverbs 7:24)." The word, "hearken," means to listen, listening.  The next time you read My Word out loud, I want you to listen with your spiritual ears as well as your physical ears. 

JOHN 16:13; PROVERBS 7:24

CHOSEN

Many are called, but few are chosen. I taught the parable about the wedding feast that a king had prepared, but no one was counted worthy to be invited. The king then gave his servants the orders to go into the highways and byways and invite people to come to his feast.

When the king came to the wedding feast, he noticed a man who was not wearing a wedding garment. This guest was bound and cast out into outer darkness.

The only wedding garment that you must wear to My wedding supper is the robe of righteousness.  There are many that I am calling to come to Me, but many are refusing.  Pray that they will hear My call and chose to receive My invitation.

MATTHEW 22:8-13

WELLS

The prophet Isaiah wrote: "Therefore with joy shall you draw water out of the wells of salvation.  And in that day shall you say, 'Praise the LORD, call upon His name, declare His doings among the people, make mention that His name is exalted  (Isaiah 12:3-4)."

There are wells of salvation within you.  I want you to draw from these wells every day with My joy which is your strength.  When you draw water from these wells daily, your day will be filled with praise and you will declare My wonderful works to others.

People need their joy restored during these dark days in your nation. You have My living water of salvation that you can give them. Come to My waters and drink and share My joy with others.

ISAIAH 12:3-4; JOHN 7:37

WEDDING

I shared two parables about a wedding feast when I was on Earth.  Both parables were a warning to those listening to make sure they were ready for the wedding feast.

The wedding feast I want all to make is the wedding feast that I will host in heaven.  Some call it the marriage supper of the Lamb.

I would that none perish, but that all come to repentance and accept My invitation to come to Me and receive My offer to exchange their self-righteousness for My righteousness. I freely gave this exchange when I became sin for them when I was crucified so that those who believe in Me can be forgiven.  I want you to give this invitation to many.

MATTHEW 22;1-14; LUKE 14:16-24; REVELATION 19:7

EXPRESS

I am the express image of My Father.  I came to earth to express to the world exactly who My Father is. I revealed His glory to the world, and the day will come when all the earth will have the knowledge of His glory.

His glory was expressed in My face.  My Father commanded the light to shine out of darkness into your heart to give you the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in My face.

You have this very treasure in your earthen vessel so that wherever you go, My glory will shine through you to others.  You are being changed from glory to glory to be more like Me when you take time to talk to Me and read, heed, and meditate on My Word.

HEBREWS 1:3; 2 CORINTHIANS 4:6-7
