When My servant Barnabas had the gift of exhortation. He exhorted the believers in Antioch to with purpose of heart to cling to the LORD.
I give you and all my beloved the same exhortation today. Cleave to Me with the purpose in your heart to do My will every day.
My purpose for all My believers is that they shine as lights in this dark world. Let Your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify My Father in heaven.
ACTS 11:23; MATTHEW 5:16
My eyes are always watching the righteous and My ears are always open to their prayers. My face, however, is against evil.
Take comfort in these truths. Nothing goes past My sight. This is why people are not successful when they hide their sins from Me. I want you and all My righteous ones to confess their sins to Me.
When you confess your sins, I am able to cleanse you from those sins and, of course, I have already forgiven you of your sins (past, present, and future) when I died to forgive the sins of the world.
1 PETER 3:12; PSALM 34:15
I want you always to have confidence that I hear your prayers and also that I am watching over you daily. Peter walked with Me while I was on earth and he knew me well. He wrote the following about Me.
"For the eyes of the LORD are over the righteous, and His ears are open to their prayers: but the face of the LORD is against those who do evil."
It is now possible through My shed blood to come boldly to My throne of grace and find help in your times of need. I always welcome your prayers, Come to Me daily with all of your concerns.
1 PETER 3:12; HEBREWS 4:16
Two people were on the road to Emmaus where they lived. They were discussing the things that they had heard about My crucifixion and My resurrection.
Their eyes were closed to these truths and they felt they were just idle tales. Suddenly, I joined them and walked with them.
When we were close to their home, they invited Me to have dinner with them. As I broke the bread, suddenly their eyes were opened and they saw Me. Pray for many to have their eyes opened to know Me.
I made it possible for you to be a part of My family. My servant Paul wrote this about Me. "For by Him we have access by one Spirit to the Father.
Now therefore we are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God: (Ephesians 2:18-19)"
When you were born again, you were born into My family and you became a citizen in My eternal household. Rejoice today because you will never be alone or a stranger.
EPHESIANS 2:18-19
My beloved psalmist David had great confidence in My ability to keep him safe. He wrote: "I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep for You LORD, only are able to make me dwell in safety.
There are so many who are fearful in these dark times during these end days. Radical Muslims are killing anyone who does not believe as they do.
Pray for My firewall of angels to surround those who have been threatened by radical Muslims and terrorists. Pray that they will know ahead of time before they are attacked. Pray for peace.
PSALM 4:8
I desire that you put all of your confidence in Me. When you do this you can be confident that when you die, you will be in My presence for all eternity.
You can also be confident that when you pray anything according to My will that I will hear you and that I will also grant your requests.
When you put your confidence in Me, you can be confident of this one thing, that when I begin a good work in you, I will perform it until I return.
