REALIZATION

People have moments of realizaiton that launch them to quick action.  This is a time for those who believe in Me to realize that time is short.  You and all believers are in the midnight hour.  Of course, only My Father knows the exact time of My return. However, you can know the season.  You are definitely in the winter season just before the spring of My second coming occurs.

This is why I am waking you up to realize that those I put in your path are people who desperately need to know My love.  I want you to realize that I can redeem your time when you give your moments to Me. 

The "Ministry of the Moment" is now.  Do not waste time.  Ask Me to cause every moment in your life to be fruitful in My kingdom work.

JOHN 9:4

ENDURENCE

Sometimes life become difficult and you ask, "Can I endure until the end?"  When those low times come in your life, come to Me and remember that you can do all things through Me.  I am the One Who will give you the strength to endure. 

I also have provided for you an enduring substance that will help relieve your pain and cause you to gain momentum in spite of your physical or emotional condition. No, the substance is not a drug.  It is the enduring substance of My Word. My Word is the substance of things hoped for.  My Word is clean and it endures forever.  Go to My Word when you need the gift of endurance.

Also know that I have prepared an enduring possession for you in heaven.  When you need endurance, set your affections on the things above and on My Word and My love that endures forever.

HEBREWS 11:34; PSALM 19:9; PHILIPPIANS 4:13

RETAIL

I know how you like to get the wholesale price on your purchases.  You always feel like you are saving so much money.  The price I paid when I died to forgive sins was in a way a wholesale price.  By that I mean, I offered forgiveness to the whole world.  However, the price I paid was much more expensive than a retail or wholesale price.  My blood shed for you was priceless.  It cost Me everything.

I provided everything you will ever need in your life on the day I died for your sins and the day I was resurrected. The good news is that you do not have to purchase the priceless possessions of My love, acceptance, joy, peace, and righteousness.  All you have to do is believe and receive those priceless possessions.

What I offered through My death and resurrection was a free gift.  Those who believe in Me can receive every provision that My Father has given Me.

1 PETER 1:3-6; 2 PETER 1:2-4;

SENSIBLE SENSES

I created your five senses - touch, taste, see, hear, and smell as receptors to receive and enjoy the beauty of My creation.  If your perception of life is centered on yourself rather than Me, the very senses I created in your body can cause addiction in your life. 

Eve was lured by her five senses to give in to Satan's temptation to eat from the "Tree of Knowledge ofgGood and Evil..  She saw that the fruit was good for food.  She couldn't wait to taste it.  It even smelled good.  The voice of the tempter became louder than My voice and when she touched the fruit, she put it to her mouth and ate it.  Ever since that garden scene, My enemy has used that same tactic to lure many abuse substances.

After Eve ate the fruit, the following lusts were formed in her being: the lust of the flesh (gratifying your senses in an addictive way), the lust of the eyes (vain imaginations and greed), and the lust of the pride of life (trusting in yourself and your own resources).  These lusts will always be in you until you die and they are the buttons Satan pushes to enter your life.  The sensible thing to do when your own lusts are luring you to sin is to say out loud, "My righteousness is of Jesus Christ."  Satan can touch your own self-righteousness, but he cannot touch My righteousness.  When self is on the throne of your heart instead of Me, you can easily be led astray by your own lusts.

1 JOHN 2:15-16; JAMES 1:13-15

LEARNING

Some people are ever learning, but they never come to the knowledge of the truth.  If they would seek to learn more of Me, they would find the truth.  Pilate asked Me the question, "What is truth?"  I did not answer his question, because I had answered that question earlier in one of My teachings.  I said that "I am the way, the life, and the truth.  No one comes to the Father except through Me."

I also gave this invitation to whoever would be willing to come to Me:  Come to Me and learn meekness and lowliness of heart.  A humble person is teachable and can learn everything I want to teach them.  I am the only One who can teach humbleness of heart because I humbled Myself , denied My Kingly glory and came to earth to live among you.

I invite you today to come and learn from Me.  When you learn from Me, you will walk in both humility and the truth. 

JOHN 14:6, 18:38; MATTHEW 11:38-30

RESENTMENT

Resentment is hidden anger.  If there is someone you resent, give that person to Me.  Release all judgment of that person to Me.  I then will be able to change your heart about that person.  You may resent something like having to do so much to keep your home clean or doing someonelse's job at the office and not being paid for that job. 

Resentment is a negative attitude that the devil wants you to have continually.  When resentment continues unconfessed in your life, your body will suffer.  The moment you feel those tingles up your spine of resentment, take that thought captive and give it to Me.  Then pray for and ask Me to bless the person you resent.  Pray about the situation you resent and ask Me to give you peace about it.

Never allow a root of bitterness to spring up in your heart.  If you continue in bitterness, those around you will be defiled.

HEBREWS 12:15

DRIVEN

Whenever you feel hurried or driven to make a decision, be on the alert.  This is a ploy of My enemy.  My enemy pushes, presses, and drives people to make decisions in haste and to do things in haste.  My Spirit leads and guides. 

When you have to make a big decision in life, do the following:

1.  Ask for the wisdom from above.
2.  Listen carefully for the guidance of that still, quiet voice within you.
3.  Confirm what you hear out of the mouth of at least two witnesses.
4.  Confirm what you hear in My Word.
5.  Take slow, confident steps to activate your decision.

In quietness and confidence will be your strength.  My peace will come as you stay in My Word and enjoy My presence moment by moment. 

JAMES 3:17-18; ISAIAH 30:15
