REDEEMED

My Father had the plan of redemption in mind even before the earth was formed.  He knew ahead of time what would happen when mankind chose to disobey Him.

My Father also knew that Satan existed and that he would be successful in seducing Adam and Eve into disobeying Him.  My Father loved the world so much that He gave Me to redeem the world.

My servant Peter wrote that you and those who believe in Me would be redeemed, not with things that are corruptible, but with My precious, sinless blood that I shed when I died on the tree. Give Him thanks.

1 PETER 1:18-19

JOIN

It is so important as you approach your next election to be of one mind and one heart.  There are so many divisions in My body on earth.  The spirit behind those divisions is the spirit of anti-Christ.

There also is great division in families at this time.  You must be aware that Satan's strategy is always to divide and conquer.

As you approach the election of government officials, lay aside your differences and pray from your heart for righteous leaders to be chosen.  Discussing differences will avail nothing, but prayer will avail much.

1 CORINTHIANS 1:10

HEED

You can hear My Word, read My Word, and you can even hide My Word in your heart by memorizing it. However, unless you heed My Word, you will  never experience the blessings of My Word

Ask My Holy Spirit to help you daily to put My Word into action in your life.  My Word instructs you how to both speak and do what is pleasing in My sight.

I know you want to please Me daily.  As you hear My Word with your spiritual ears today, think of ways that you can impart My Word to others. 

PSALM 119:9

OUTSIDE

I told the Pharisees and scribes that they appear clean on the outside, but within they were full of extortion and excess. 

There are many that you meet who appear to be so clean and perfect, but you do not know what is in their hearts.  Only I have the power to look into the hearts of people.  

Never judge people by the way they look on the outside.  Treat each person you meet as a treasure who I have made to glorify Me.  Then ask Me how to pray for them.  I know every secret in their hearts.

MATTHEW 23:25

MINISTER

There are ministers in churches who are paid to minister by preaching and taking care of those in their church. I have called all of those who believe in Me to do the same as a paid minister.

I desire for you to minister in the moment to others.  What does that mean? It means that I give you moments throughout the day to minister My love to others. Your pay is the blessing you will receive.

There is another way you can minister to others.  Paul wrote the church at Ephesus to allow no corrupt communication to come our of their mouths, but to speak only words that minister grace to the hearer.

EPHESIANS 4:29

COVER

My disciple Peter felt like the end of the world was soon approaching and so was My return.  Many in the world today are feeling the same way.

Because Peter was looking for My soon return, he had many exhortations for those who were looking for My return to follow. Those exhortations can be applied to our lives today.

Peter wrote: "And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover a multitude of sins." The best way to have fervent charity is to share My gospel with those who do not know Me so that they will be ready for My return. 

1 PETER 4:8

SEARCH

The prophet Jeremiah talked about how I search the hearts of people.  He wrote: "I the LORD search the heart. I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of His doings (Jeremiah 17:10)

I want you to always walk in My ways by obeying My Word and by seeking Me with all your heart.  Jeremiah also wrote:  "And you shall seek Me, and find me, when you shall search for me with all your heart (Jeremiah 29:13).

I am always with you and I will never forsake you.  I want you to daily spend a quiet time in My presence. It is during those times that you can hear those things I want to tell you. Seek Me with your whole heart.

JEREMIAH 17:10; 29:13
