I am exalted above the heavens. This means that I am above all things that I have created. I created you and I am above you. However, I have seated you next to Me in the heavens.
Just as I am with you, you are with Me in the Spirit. It thrills Me when you lift up your voice to Me to exalt Me through your praise and worship.
I look forward to this every morning.
PSALM 97:9
I am a God of recompense. I am a righteous God Who always recompenses tribulation on all those who trouble the righteous.
As you see the wars that are caused by evil people, understand that their evil will be delivered back to them. Those unrighteous, haughty makers of war will be destroyed at the end day.
You can have hope now that I defend the righteous and I avenge any evil that has been done to them. Have no fear, I see all and I know all. I have hosts of angels that are ready to defend the righteous.
2 THESSALONIANS 1:6
My servant Paul talked about the day when I will return and how all My saints will admire Me. I know that you and all of My beloved are looking forward to that day when they will see Me face to face.
Paul continued to talk about that day and then he prayed that on that day, God would count the saints worthy of their calling.
He continued and prayed that they would fulfill all the good pleasure of My goodness, and finish the work of faith with power so that My name would be glorified in them all. I am praying this for you also.
2 THESSALONIANS 1:10-12
My servant Paul wrote to Timothy these words: "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus(1 Timothy 2;5)."
I had to become a man. I am both God and man. I am both divine and human. I had to come to earth and live and die as a human. In order to be the perfect sacrifice I had to have a body.
Because of My sacrifice, I can now reconcile people to My Father. I died for the remission of their sins. All who believe in Me can receive My gift of salvation. You can now call My Father "your Father."
1 TIMOTHY 2:5
My servant Paul's earnest expectation was that when he saw Me face to fact that he would not be ashamed about anything. His hope was that I would be magnified in his body as long as he lived on earth.
Paul exhorted every believer to offer their bodies daily as living sacrifices. When My beloved do this every morning, I rejoice.
Paul fulfilled his mission on earth, and I was magnified in his life on earth. I know your prayer also and the prayer of many of My beloved is that they also will magnify Me daily until I call them home.
PHILIPPIANS 1:20
When I return, I will be a refiner's fire to purify and to cleanse. Every man will have to give an account for the things they did in their bodies.
I want all My beloved to daily allow Me by the power of My Holy Spirit to refine their souls. Those who believe in Me and My atonement are already refined in their spirit because they have My Spirit within.
The soul is what needs refining. Every day I want you to surrender your mind, will, and emotions to Me and ask My Holy Spirit to refine those areas that need to be refined. I am conforming you to My image.
MALACHI 3:2
Only My Word has the power to renew your mind and change your heart. Paul wrote: "Be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind...."
My Word is living and has the "power to divide your soul and spirit...." It is your soul (mind, will, and emotions) that desires worldliness rather than godliness.
My Word can give you godly thoughts instead of worldly thoughts. My Word can give you godly desires rather than willful desires, and My Word can anchor your emotions with My hope.
ROMANS 12:1-2; HEBREWS 4:12
