UPWARD

Isaiah wrote the following about the remnant that escaped out of the house of Judah: "And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward."

This is My promise to the remnant of the true believers in Me in your country today. As you keep your eyes focused upward on Me, no matter what you see happening in the days ahead, I will establish you.

You once again will be rooted in the righteous foundations that were established when I birthed your nation. You also will bear fruit upward as you will be laborers in this last great harvest.

ISAIAH 37:31

LEAD

The psalmist prayed a wonderful prayer that you can pray daily.  This prayer truly expresses My heart for you.

He prayed: "Lead Me in Your truth, and teach Me: for You are the God of My salvation; on You do I wait all the day (Psalm 25:5)."

When you put your trust in Me, it is My delight to lead, guide, and teach you My truths by the power of My Holy Spirit.  Put your full trust in Me daily, and you will receive all that I want to teach you.

PSALM 25:5

ENLARGE

My servant David had a large heart, but he prayed that I might enlarge his heart even more. He promised to always run the way of My commandments.. 

He wanted to run even faster than ever to obey My commandments and to discover wondrous things from My word.

Pray that you and every believer will have a "David's heart." Pray for this next generation to have a David's heart.  When a believers have a David's heart, they will seek to always hear, hide and heed My Word.

PSALM 119:32

PROSPER

John wrote a blessing to a person he loved dearly.  He wrote: "Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers."

This is my desire for you.  I desire that your mind, will, and emotions receive My peace, joy, and love daily.

Take time every morning to receive these blessings as you spend time in My presence.

3 JOHN 1:2

EVERMORE

I want you to memorize one of the most important verses in the Bible.  It is a verse that talks about My presence being eternally with you.

This verse of scripture will comfort your heart when you go through trials and troubles.  This verse will give you hope when there seems to be no hope at all in the world because of all the darkness.

I speak to you a truth that will comfort you no matter what happens in the world.  "I am He Who lives, and was dead; and behold, I am alive forevermore, Amen; and have the keys to hell and of death                        (Revelation 1:18)."

REVELATION 1:18

EVENING

It was difficult for Me to find time alone.  My disciples were always with Me, and the crowds followed Me from town to town.

After a long day of ministering to many people, I was tired.  However, I made sure that I spent time alone during the evening. Those times I spent in prayer with My Father infused Me with peace.

Those times of peace prepared Me to have a good night's sleep.  I pray that you also will take a few moments to talk with Me before you retire to bed. This will prepare you for a good night's sleep.

MATTHEW 14:23

ANGER

I know that you sometimes get angry.  Being angry is no sin, but allowing the sun to go down on your anger is a sin.

Throughout My Word, you can see that I got angry sometimes.  The good news is that God's anger does not last forever.

My Word says: "For His anger endures but a moment; in His favor is life:..." My Father is a good father.  He metes His judgment with His mercy. His anger endures only a moment.  His love endures forever.

PSALM 30:5
