turn

I know you are praying along with many of My beloved for a turn around in your nation.  You desire your nation to turn back to Me. This is My desire also.

First, before this turn around can happen, many even in My body on earth need to turn again to Me and seek My face.  When you seek My face, those things you need to confess to Me and repent of will become clear.

Repentance always precedes revival and restoration of a nation occurs only if My body on earth will humble themselves and turn from their wicked ways.  Then I will hear from heaven and heal their land.

2 CHRONICLES 7:14

STONE

When My beloved John was given the revelation I sent him, he heard: "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches; To him who overcomes will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, that no man knows saving he who receives it."

Sometimes you may not see yourself as an overcomer, but John also wrote this. "Who is he who overcomes the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God?"

Because  you are born of Me, I am in you, and you are in Me, and I have already overcome the world.

REVELATION 2:17; JOHN 5:5

DEPART

I told My disciples that it was necessary for Me to depart from them because if I did not depart from them, the Comforter would not come to them. 

I was God in flesh form when I walked on earth. Because I lived in a body on earth, I could not reach the whole world with the good news of My kingdom.

Once the Comforter came to all those who believe in Me, the world could be reached. I now live within you, and I will never depart from you. You now have the power of My Spirit to share My gospel. Take every opportunity to do this.

JOHN 16:7

FLOODS

So many are praying for their prodigals to return home.  Be assured that I hear those prayers of concerned parents.

The promise in My Word that will give those who have prodigals hope was spoken by Jeremiah centuries ago. Jeremiah spoke this: "For I will pour upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground.  I will pour My spirit upon your seed, and My blessing upon your offspring."

Keep praying for your prodigals, and speak this prophecy over them.  Pray that they will become thirsty for Me and for My Word.

ISAIAH 44:3 

BONDAGE

When I taught on earth, I told the Jewish believers that if they continued in My Word they would know the truth and the truth would set them free.

They answered Me and said that they had never been in bondage.  I replied, "Verily, verily, I say to you, 'Whoever commits sin is the servant of sin.'"

I added, "If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed." Everyone has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.  The only way out of bondage is to allow Me and the Words I speak to set you free.

JOHN 8:31-36

BITTER

The author of Hebrews warned against allowing a root of bitterness to develop in you if someone has hurt you. Allowing this will cause you to fall short of the grace of God.  

The root of bitterness in your heart can defile even those closest to you. Grace is the supernatural ability to do what cannot be done in the natural.

Whenever there are broken relationships in your life, pray for the person who is hurt.  If you were hurt, allow Me to heal your heart.  Then you can trust Me to give you My love for that person. When you do this, you are allowing My supernatural power to work in your life and you will not fall short of My grace.

HEBREWS 12:15.

 

THORNS

When I told the parable of the sower, I was talking about how the seed of the Word of God can grow and become fruitful.

The seed that fell among the thorns only produced a little fruit because the seed was choked by the thorns. Some people hear and receive My Word, but they can not bear much fruit because they are more interested in fulfilling their own pleasure than spending time in My presence and in My Word.

Spending time in My presence will give you joy and pleasures that are eternal.  Tomorrow and every day, take time just to sit in My presence and meditate on My Word.  When you do this, you will have a pleasant day.

LUKE 8:14; PSALM 16:11
