ALTARS

The definition of an altar is a raised platform where sacrifices are made.  You will see in My Word that one of the main reasons that My Father judged Israel harshly was because they made evil altars to false gods. 

There are many evil altars that have been dedicated to false gods in your own nation.  One evil altar resembles the altar to Molech that was made centuries ago.  Infants were burned on the altars of this false God Molech. Millions of babies have been offered on this evil altar called abortion.

This practice of abortion in your land has caused a curse on your land that can only be removed through diligent prayer.  Pray that the laws that have legalized abortion to be overturned and then the curse over your nation will be removed.

LEVITICUS 18:21

  

ELECTION

The words "elect" and "election" can be found in various places in My Word. My servant Peter was elected according to the foreknowledge of My Father.  My Father chose not only Peter, but He also chose you as His workmanship, created in Me to accomplish good works that were before ordained so that you could walk in them.

It is up to you to make your calling and election sure by adding  to your faith virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness; and love.

These fruits of My Spirit will only develop in you as you yield daily to My Spirit, Who has the assignment to conform you to My image.  Offer your self daily as a living sacrifice and the members of your body to be used as instruments of My peace, righteousness, joy, and love.

1 PETER 1:2;  2 PETER 1:5-10; EPHESIANS 2:10

LIMITED

The virus crisis has increased exponentially the limits you now have to experience.  You are limited to a certain number of people in gatherings, places to shop, supplies to purchase, and so many other limits.

I know what it feels like to be limited.  I was limited to only say what My father wanted Me to say and to do only what I saw My Father do.  I was limited in My travels and when I died on the tree as the perfect sacrifice to reconcile people to My Father, I was limited.  I could not save Myself.

Though your limitations are many right now, you have unlimited access to My throne room were I ever live to make intercession for you.  Use these days to draw closer to Me.  I made it possible through My shed blood for you to enter boldly into My throne room of grace and mercy at any time day or night to find help in your time of need.

JOHN 5:19; 30. 12:49; HEBREWS 4:16

CONTENTMENT

There were many doctrines being taught in My servant Paul's day.  He warned Timothy, who was like a son to him, to stay away from those who put forth the doctrine that godliness would cause financial gain.

These doctrines are being preached in your day also. Paul shared the truth with Timothy.  He said that godliness is great gain when accompanied by contentment.  Paul learned to be content no matter what his financial circumstances were.  He learned how to abound and how to be abased.

True contentment comes from your confidence in Me to meet your needs no matter what your financial circumstances might be.  Many have lost their jobs during this virus crisis.  Pray for these people to discover that prayer can give them a peace that passes all of their understanding and when they pray with thanksgiving their hearts and minds can be guarded during these difficult circumstances. 

1 TIMOTHY 6:6; PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7, 12

LIBERTY

My will for every one is that they never experience bondage. Yet, as you look at the conditions in other lands, you see many countries that have oppressive leaders who place heavy burdens on people and who threaten people to obey their rules or face imprisonment.

Persecution of believers existed when I was on Earth, and when I left to go to My Father, that persecution increased.  I shared a great promise about persecution when I presented My teaching on the Mount.  I said,: "Blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousness sake for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.  Blessed are you, when men shall revile you, and persecute  you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for My sake.  Rejoice and be exceeding glad; for great is your reward in heaven; for so persecuted they the prophets who were before you.

Pray for all those who are in bondage to persecution, and pray for your own country to always have religious freedom.

MATTHEW 5:10-12

BOOKS

There are many books in heaven.  There is a Book of Remembrance that records every time you mention My name or even think about Me.  The prophet Malachi spoke about this.  He wrote: Then they who feared the LORD spoke often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who feared the LORD, and that thought upon His name.

I love to hear you mention My name during the day.  There are many things that you can talk about when you are with others, but when you talk about Me, the atmosphere becomes filled with My Spirit.

Many call Sundays "The Lord's Day."  It is a day to corporately worship and all the songs you sing to Me are also recorded in this Book of Remembrance.  Make it your goal to add to this book today and everyday..

MALACHI 3:16

DECEPTION/DETERMINED

 One of the main weapons of my enemy is deception.  My friend Paul wrote that even My Father would send deception upon those who reject My gospel as the days draw closer to My return.  As you can see, this deception is coming upon many today.

At one point Paul even said if it were possible, even the elect would be deceived.  The way to keep you and all your beloved from deception during these days is to exhort them to be determined to stay in My Word.

I told My Father as I prayed for My disciples that I had kept them through My Word.  I also will keep you  from deception through My Word.  Be determined today and everyday to search out the truth in My Word.  My Word is truth and the only way to fight deception is to hide My truth in your heart.
