AFRAID

When I walked on the waters of the Galilee, My disciples saw Me.  I heard them crying out in fear. I immediately yelled to them, "Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid."

So many all of the world are afraid because they see so many wars.  They see My homeland attacked by terrorists, and they fear that their homelands will also be attacked.

I want you to hear Me as I say the same words I yelled to the disciples: "Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid." There are over 365, "Fear not" phrases in My Word. I understand that  you live in in fearful times. However, remember that I am with you, and My nearness to you will give you both peace and joy."

MATTHEW 14:26-27

PRIESTHOOD

 I have called you to be a royal priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices daily.  I want you to offer those spiritual sacrifices to Me in the morning during your prayer time with Me.

I love to hear the sacrifices of thanksgiving and praise.  Enter into My heavenly Temple through the gates of thanksgiving and into My courts with praise.

Then worship Me with songs of worship. The sacrifice that brings Me the most joy is when you give your body to Me as a living sacrifice. I will then be able to use you that day to glorify Me.

PSALM 104; ROMANS 12:1

REVEALED

Some people believe that they can hide from God.  However, there will be a day that every person's work (whether good or bad) will be revealed. My Word says this.

1 Corinthians 3:13-14: "Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide that he has built suffer loss, but he himself shall be saved, yet so as by fire."

Believers in Me will face Me to receive their rewards for the works that survive the fire that will try men's works. Make sure that the works you do every day are the works that I do in the Spirit through you.

1 CORINTHIANS 3:13-14

REDEEMER

On that fateful day that I enjoyed My last Passover with My disciples, I lifted the Cup of Redemption.  This is the third cup of wine that is sipped at the Passover celebration.

I lifted that cup up at the end of the meal. After I had blessed it, I told My disciples that this was My blood of the New Covenant shed for many for the remission of their sins.

Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission for sin.  My blood was given on the cross to redeem mankind from sin. The next time you take communion, remember these truths and every time you eat the bread and drink the cup, remember My death until I return. Thank Me today that your Redeemer lives.

HEBREWS 9:22

MOUNTAINS

Everyone's eyes are upon My homeland now.  I want you daily to pray for the peace of Jerusalem because when you are praying this way, you are praying for My soon return.

There will be no lasting peace in Jerusalem until I return.  I do not want you to be discouraged by the darkness that surrounds you. I want you to be encouraged by the following verse of scripture.

Psalm 125:2: "As the mountains are around  about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about His people from henceforth even forever." I am around you right now and forever.  Do not forget this truth.

PSALM 125:2

BRIGHTNESS

These are very dark times all over the world.  To get through these times, I want you to focus on Me and My redemptive power. I also want you to focus on what awaits you as a believer in Me.

The prophet Isaiah wrote these words: Isaiah 60:19: "The sun shall be no more your light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light to you: but the LORD shall be to you an everlasting light, and your God your glory."

These words will encourage you because these words tell you the rest of the story.  Look forward to that time when My light will light heaven and all the earth will be filled with the knowledge of My glory.

ISAIAH 60:19

MOTHER

Tomorrow is the day that many in your country will honor mothers.  You live in a culture now that is trying to destroy motherhood. This is happening because when your culture forsook Me, Satan came in.

Is there hope for the world? Yes, because I am the hope of the world.  I came as a man and even though I was conceived by the Holy Spirit, I am a flesh man.  I am God in the flesh.

I was very close to My mother when I was on earth and even just before I died on the tree, I asked My disciple John to take care of My mother.  Honor your mother on this day because My love for you is like a mother's love that always believes in her child and defends her child from harm.

ISAIAH 46:3-4
