"Let the lying lips be put to silence, that speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous." David, my beloved psalmist wrote this years before I was born.
This is a good prayer for you to be praying now as your world is filled with lying lips. Pray for those words against the righteous to be silenced.
Ask My Holy Spirit Who is the Spirit of Truth to fill the atmosphere with His truths. You can fill your own atmosphere daily by speaking My truths out loud.
PSALM 31:18
The men of Judah were exhorted to break up the fallow ground, and sow not among thorns. I shared the parable about the seed of God's Word and the condition of the ground where the seed fell.
This parable is all about how people hear the Word of God. The seed that fell by the wayside were the ones who heard My Word, but they did nothing with it and Satan stole My Word from them.
The ground where the seed of My Word fell was fallow ground. The ground had not been cultivated. Cultivate your ability to not only hear My Word but do My Word. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you.
JEREMIAH 4:3; LUKE 8
Today is the first day of your new year. I know it seems like you just celebrated last year's New Year. I live where time is no more.
Moses wrote: "For a thousand years in Thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night (Psalm 90:4)."
Moses also wrote: "So Teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts to wisdom." Do not let a day pass without asking My Holy Spirit to help you apply wisdom and discernment to your heart.
PSALM 90:4,12)
When I presented the parable of the sower, I wanted the listener to be sure that their hearts were prepared to receive the good seed of My Word.
There were three conditions of the soil that prevented the seed from bearing fruit. Only the good soil that was prepared and cultivated was ready to receive the seed of My Word and that seed bore much fruit.
When you read My Word, I want you to prepare the soil of your heart to receive My Word. Learn to listen with your heart instead of just your mind when you hear My Word and you will bear much fruit.
LUKE 8
I died on the cross to redeem you from sin. It was My shed blood that supplied the requirement for those who believe in Me to be presented faultless before My Father in heaven.
When I was crucified I exchanged your self righteousness for My righteousness. I am your Good Shepherd Who will lead you in paths of righteousness for your whole lifetime.
Meditate on these truths today and thank Me for keeping you from falling. I kept My disciples by My Word and I also will keep you from falling by My Word. Abide in My Word daily.
JUDE 1:24-25
I taught the parable about the wise steward who took action on his plan. Even though he was unjust, he made provision for himself in case he was put out of his stewardship.
The steward said, "I am resolved what to do, that when I am put out of the stewardship, they (other lords) may receive me into their houses." He called all his lord's debtors and cut their bills in half.
I trust that you are resolved to spend more intimate times with Me in prayer and study of My Word in this next year. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you carry out this resolution.
LUKE 16:3-9
On the last great day of the Feast of Tabernacles just after the libation ceremony was finished, I stood near the Temple steps, and I gave an invitation to all who were thirsty.
I cried out, ""If any man thirst, let him come to Me and drink. He Who believes on Me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living waters."
I spoke of the Holy Spirit Who is able to fill the hunger in thirst for Me. Those who drink of the living water of My Spirit will experience the baptism in the Holy Spirit and will speak with other tongues.
JOHN 7:37-38
