My servant Luke recorded many of the teachings and experiences Paul had because he often traveled with Paul. Luke recorded what Paul said when he was arrested and appeared before Felix, the governor.

There were many accusations against Paul and in an attempt to prove that those accusations were false, Paul shared with Felix what really happened. 

Paul said the following words before Felix, "And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men." I pray that you will make this your daily goal as Paul did.

ACTS 24:16

VISIONS

When I took Peter, James and John to the high mountain, I was transfigured before them. My face was shining like the sun and my raiment was white as the light. Moses and Elijah also appeared with Me.

After this vision, I touched Peter, James and John and told them not to repeat this vision until I was resurrected.

I am still revealing myself to many in visions.  I am appearing to people who have not yet believed in Me. Pray for those who are receiving these visions to believe and receive Me as their LORD and Savior.

MATTHEW 17:1-3

TOGETHER

Many churches in the culture you live in today want to have large numbers of members.  When I walked on earth multitudes followed Me, but I only was able to train twelve disciples and later seventy.

I made it clear in one of my teachings that wherever two or three are gathered that I would be in the midst of them.  I also emphasized the importance of the agreement of two in prayer.

When you and your husband began to pray in agreement with one another, you saw so many answers to prayer.  I promised that "If two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father Who is in heaven (Matthew 18:19)." 

MATTHEW 18:19-20

FULNESS

"But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons (Galatians 4:4-5)."

Every day I thank God that I was born after Jesus was born because it is through the redemption from sin that Jesus purchased for us when He shed His blood on the cross that sets us free from the penalty of sin.

Sometimes we want to doubt God's timing. God always waits for the time when He can gather many adopted sons and daughters to be with Him forever.  We are living in His fulness of time now.

GALATIANS 4:4-5

FINISHED

Just before I was crucified, I prayed to My Father.  I said, "I have glorified You on the earth: I have finished the work that You gave me to do.

My work was to glorify My Father on earth and to become the perfect sacrifice for sin so that the world could be redeemed from sin.  You are called to do the same work on earth that I did.

You are called to glorify Me daily which means to make My presence known to others. You are also called to present your body daily to Me as a living sacrifice so that My Spirit can anoint you to do My works..

JOHN 17:4

SET

 The word, glory, in My word simply means My manifest presence.  No one on earth has any excuse for not believing in Me since My glory can be seen everywhere on earth and in the heavens.

My Word says that the heavens declare My glory and that the earth is full of My glory even as the waters cover the sea.

I have set My glory everywhere.  I have even set My glory above the heavens.  One day you will see the fulness of My glory, until then it is up to you to reveal My glory by what you say and what you do.

PSALM 8:1

PRESENT

This is the season for people to give gifts and receive gifts.  The present that I desire to give everyone is the present or gift of My righteousness and the knowledge of My presence with them.

My Father has purer eyes than to behold evil.  I exchanged mankind's unrighteousness for My righteousness when I shed My blood to redeem the world from sin.

Pray for those you know who have yet to believe in Me and receive My gift of right standing with My Father. Pray that the eyes of their understanding will be opened to receive My righteousness.

ROMANS 5:17

CIRCLE

Those who believe that the earth is flat have not read My Word.  My Word clearly states that I sit on the circle of the Earth.

There are so many false theories that cause many to doubt what My Word says.  It is so important that you daily ask My Holy Spirit to give you clear discernment in these last days before I return.

I allow strong delusion to come upon those who have not delighted in My ways and have even done evil things.  Pray for My Holy Spirit to open the eyes of the understanding of those who have believed a lie.

ISAIAH 40:22, 66:4

INSTRUCTIONS

When you do not follow instructions on how to do something, you usually get into trouble.  My Word is the instruction manual for living a fruitful life. Sadly, many people never read this manual and when they do, they do not follow the instructions.

Pray for this generation as they will face many challenges in the future.  Pray that they will have a hunger and thirst for My Word and that they will both hear and obey My Word.

Your prayers for this future generation are heard, and keep believing that this is the generation will seek Me with all of their hearts.

MATTHEW 6:33

LEARNING

My servant Paul wrote that everything in My Word was written for the learning of every believer.

Those who know Me will continue the learning process even in heaven.  You can look forward to continuing learning from My Word in heaven because My Word is eternal.

The good news is that you will not be tested on how much you learn.  Instead, as you learn, you will be excited about learning more and more.

ROMANS 15:4

JOURNEYINGS

The journeyings of the children of Israel are all recorded in My Word.  They were not sure where they would finally settle, but they followed Moses through the wilderness.

The life you are living now does have a final destination, and if you follow the directions I give you throughout your life, you will have a fruitful journey, not a wilderness journey.

I sent My Holy Spirit to guide you throughout your life. As as you hear and obey His voice, you will accomplish the works I have planned for you even before you were born.

NUMBERS 10:28

WIN

Sometimes you may not feel like you are winning spiritual victories.  However, there is no way that you can determine what is happening in the spirit realm.

People usually cannot see into the spiritual realm, but warfare is going on continually in that realm.  I am in charge of a huge army of angels who are fighting the armies of the devil.

The truth is that I have already won this battle with evil.  I won it when I was crucified and shed My blood  to redeem mankind from the devil.  Remember, I always cause you to triumph through Me.

2 CORINTHIANS 2:14

THANKS

I know that Thanksgiving is one of your favorite holidays.  It is a time when families join together for delicious food and precious fellowship.  

Pray for those who are lonely on this holiday. Pray that they will recognize My presence with them. When you think back over your life, you can remember blessing after blessing that I have given you.

The one thing that every believer can be thankful for is the following truth that Paul shared: "But thanks be to God, Who gives us the victory through our LORD Jesus Christ. I purchased that victory for you.

1 CORINTHIANS 15:57

TIMES

Many people love to have times of refreshing in their lives.  I know how you enjoy those times when My Holy Spirit refreshes you.

Peter promised that those times would come to the 3000 unbelievers who were gathered at Pentecost.  He exhorted them and said, "Repent you therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the LORD (Acts 3:19)

Pray for those who are not saved to repent and be converted to believe in Me so that they can receive those times of refreshing from My Spirit.

ACTS 3:19

CONFIDENT

My servant Paul was confident of one thing.  He wrote: "Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ (Philippians 1:6)."

I am the One Who works through you both to give you the will and the way to accomplish the works I have designed for you to complete.  

Put all of your confidence in Me, not yourself, and then you will see that I am faithful to fulfill the calling on your life.

PHILIPPIANS 1:6, 2:13

WELLS

Isaiah wrote - "Therefore with joy shall you draw water out of the wells of salvation." Sometimes you may forget that your inner being is filled with My Holy Spirit.

My Word often compares My Holy Spirit to water. I want you to draw daily from the wells of salvation that indwell you.

Whenever you feel discouraged or heavy in your spirit, begin to draw water out of the wells of salvation within you by praising and worshiping Me and thanking Me for your salvation.

ISAIAH 12:3

ABSENT

My servant Paul wrote that when we are home in the body, we are absent from the LORD.  My presence is always with you, but one day you will see Me face to face.

This is what Paul was writing. He sometimes wished that he could be absent from his body so that he could see me face to face.  However, he knew there was still work for him to do on earth.

You are not truly home until you are home with Me in heaven.  This is your destination, and from the time you were born, you are journeying to your true home.  In the meantime, keep doing My will on earth.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:6

UNITE

David prayed that I would unite His heart to fear My name. This is a good prayer for you to pray for My body on earth and for your country.

There has been such great division in families, in churches, and in your government.  The fruit of the anti-Christ spirit is division.  

Bind the anti-Christ spirit and loose My Holy Spirit to heal hearts and bring unity to families, churches, and your government..

PSALM 86:11 

REFRESHING

Shabbot is set aside as a time to focus on Me. It is a day of rest that I desire for all of My beloved to have so they can receive strength for the coming week.  

Shabbot is a day when you spend special times in My presence, in My Word, and in prayer. My presence is with you always, but I daily want you to take time to acknowledge My presence with you.

I desire for you to offer Me the spiritual sacrifices of thanksgiving, praise and worship throughout each day of the week.  When you faithfully do this, you will be refreshed both physically and spiritually.

ACTS 3:19

WAYS

My ways are much higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts. However, I have given to you a way to understand My ways.

My psalmist, David, longed to understand the meaning of My ways so that he could walk faithfully in My ways and obey them.

When I was resurrected, I received from My Father the Promise of My Father.  That promise was the Holy Spirit who I called "the Comforter." I sent Him in power at Pentecost and at last My disciples began to understand My ways.  Ask My Spirit to lead and guide you to know My ways and He will do this.

ISAIAH 55:8

INQUIRE

It is so important that you enquire of Me.  James wrote that if any man lack wisdom, let him ask Me.  I delight when people ask Me for wisdom, and it is My joy to give wisdom to them.

I never upbraid you which means that I do not see your lack of wisdom as an opportunity to scold you over your failures. Instead, when you ask Me for wisdom, this gives Me the opportunity to overwhelm your failures with My generous grace.

All the victories that David won in battle happened because he first enquired of Me.  He asked Me for wisdom.  His failures in battle all resulted because he tried to figure things out himself.

JAMES 1:5; 2 SAMUEL 5:19 

SEALED

Paul wrote about the wonderful benefits that every believer has through Me.  All the promises of God in Me are "Yes and Amen."

Those who are redeemed by Me are also anointed and established by Me,  I want you daily to receive the fresh anointing I have for you.

I have given the earnest of the Spirit in the hearts of believers. Rejoice today as you remember all that I have done for you.

2 CORINTHIANS 1:20-22

SHOUT

Psalm 47 expresses what many who have prayed diligently for revival and awakening to come to your nation. I have heard your prayers for My light to shine upon the darkness in your nation.

Psalm 47:1: "O Clap your hands, all you people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph."  Psalm 47:5 : "God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet."

Psalm 47:6-7: "Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises. For God is the King of all the earth: sing you praises with understanding. Continue to pray diligently for I will hear.

PSALM 47

DIVINE

My divine power has given to you everything that pertains to life and godliness. through the knowledge of Me. I have called you to glory and virtue.

So many people go through life without ever knowing what their calling is.  Everyone who is born on earth has the same calling. That calling is to learn of Me and to become more like Me day by day.

Your calling is to make My presence known to people by what you both say and what you do.  Only My Word has the power to transform you from being conformed to this world to being conformed to My image.  My prayer is that you will lead others to discover My divine purpose for their lives.

2 PETER 1:3 

RISEN

After the two Marys came to anoint My body on the first day of the week after the Sabbath, they found the stone rolled away, and I was not there.

The angel told them that I was not there, for I had risen.  Then the angel told them to go quickly, and tell My disciples that I was risen.

The whole world needs to know that I am risen from the dead, and that people who repent from their sins and believe in Me also one day will be risen from the dead to live eternally.  Spread this news to everyone.

MATTHEW 28:6-7

INNOCENT

Judas repented of his betraying Me and gave back the 30 pieces of silver to the priests and elders.  He said he was guilty of betraying innocent blood. Then he cast down the silver and went and hung himself.

I want you to pray for your country and confess for your country the shedding of innocent  blood through abortion.

I died and gave My blood to redeem the world of sin.  I will redeem and heal your land when My body on earth will truly repent for not standing firmly against the killing of so many innocents.  Pray for this horrible sin to stop.

MATTHEW 27::3-4

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

KINDNESS

 My servant Paul wrote a long list of virtues to add to our faith.  One of those virtues was kindness.  My Word emphasizes many times how important kindness is.

Throughout the ages I have shown the exceeding riches of My Father's grace. The old nature of man can be very hateful and unkind.  You are observing families divided by strife and wars in many nations.

I have not given up on mankind.  My disciples were subject to their own lusts and sometimes even hateful. They soon learned that only My Holy Spirit could produce My kindness within them.

TITUS 3:4-5

QUIVER

When you think about arrows, you usually think about the fiery arrows of thoughts and temptations that My enemy sends continually. Lift the shield of faith by speaking My Word out loud when this happens.

I want you to think of your children and grandchildren as arrows who can overcome My enemy..  Psalm 127:3-5: "Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is His reward.

Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them, they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate. (Psalm 127:3,5)" Pray for your children to become strong warriors.

PSALM 127:3,5  

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

STORM

I know that many on the east coast are expecting stormy weather as the season of  hurricane weather is approaching.  I know many are concerned for the safety of their loved ones.

Just remember when stormy weather hit my disciples as they were crossing the Galilee, the storms ceased when I rebuked the storm and got in the boat with them. 

You will have storms in your life that may have nothing to do with hurricanes approaching.  Know that I am with you always through every storm you experience in life.

MARK 4:37-41

DELIVER

My disciples came to Me and asked Me to teach them to pray.  I gave the teaching, and at the end of that teaching, I declared My Father's power to deliver them from evil.  I said the words below:

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen."

When I taught this prayer to the disciples, I had not gone to the cross where I became the perfect sacrifice to redeem all of mankind from their sins. My disciples would soon have the power to deliver many in My name from sin.  You have that power also.  Use My power within you to deliver many from bondage. 

MATTHEW 6:13

EMPTY

Centuries ago, My prophet Isaiah spoke about those who would come against Israel.  He said, "It shall even be as when a hungry man dreams, and behold, he awakes, and his soul is empty:

or as when a thirsty man dreams, and, behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul has appetite; so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion (Isaiah 29:8)

This is what will happen to every nation that comes against mount Zion (My beloved Jerusalem).  I will always with great force come against every nation that tries to come against Israel. I watch over Israel.

ISAIAH 29:8 

EATING

When I was enjoying eating with My disciples My last Passover dinner with them, I took the bread and I blessed it and broke it.

After I blessed it, and I broke it, I gave a piece to each of them.  Then I said to them, "Take eat.  This is My body. None of My disciples understood what I was saying.

I was preparing them for the time when My body would be broken to purchase healing for their bodies.  I purchased your healing on the day when My body was bruised and My flesh was torn on the cross,  Receive the healing I purchased for you today.

MATTHEW 26:26

SANCTIFICATION

I am made to you wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption.  I am all the wisdom you will ever need. I am all the righteousness you will ever need.

I am all the sanctification and redemption you will ever need.  When you are in Me and I am in you, My wisdom can flow through you.  All you have to do is ask Me for wisdom.

I have already set you apart to do My will, so daily ask Me to reveal My will to you through My Word. I am your redeemer, and I am able to redeem whatever Satan has stolen from you. Give Me praise.

1 CORINTHIANS 1:30

NEWNESS

So many are desperate during these dark days of the end times.  You have the wonderful opportunity to share the good news that they can become new in Me.

When you were baptized after you received My forgiveness of your sins and was born again, the pastor who baptized you in water said the words below from Romans 6:4

"Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." Thank Me today for your newness of life in Me.

ROMANS 6:4

REACH

My servant Paul learned the secret to day by day living.  He said that he had learned to forget those days that were behind and to press forward to those days that lay before him.

If you dwell on your past or even dream about your future, you will miss the NOW moments in your life.  Faith can only operate in the present time.

I want you to live moment by moment. When you surrender your day to Me, know that whoever you are talking to by phone or in person is appointed by Me as a time for you to reach out to that one with My love, joy, and peace.

PHILIPPIANS 3:13

GENTLENESS

One of the fruits of My Spirit is gentleness.  You live in a time when there are so many wars. You see on the news the wicked and violent actions of terrorists all over the world..

I want you to display the fruit of gentleness to those you encounter each day. People are hungry for a gentle touch and comforting words. 

Pray for comfort for those in these warzones and especially pray for Israel.  My Word exhorts you to speak comfort to Israel.  Speak this daily in your prayers for Israel and for your nation.

GALATIANS 5:22; ISAIAH 40:1

TREAD

 I want you to never underestimate the power I have given you.  I said, "Behold, I give to you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you (Luke 10:19)."

I spoke those words when the seventy disciples that I sent out were discussing how amazed they were that they even had power over the devils. I was reminding them that I gave them that power.

I want to remind you today that you have that same power, and I urge you to daily use the authority I have given you to defeat the enemy. You are in a spiritual war, and I have already won that war when I died on the tree and was resurrected. The battle has been won, now enforce the victory.

LUKE 10:19

LONGING

Many people have a longing deep inside of their souls.  They seek many things to fill that longing. Some seek pleasure or material things. 

The psalmist wrote: "For He satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with goodness (Psalm 107:9)." When you have a hungry soul, let Me fill it with My goodness.  Taste and see that I am good.

Only My presence can satisfy the longing soul.  When you spend time in My presence, I can heal your soul and fill your soul with My peace, joy, and love. I want you to hunger to spend time in My presence.

PSALM 107:9

CHOOSE

Joshua asked the children of Israel who they would choose to serve.  He asked them if they would choose the false gods of that time or would they choose the One True God.

The choice Joshua made was the choice that I desire for all on earth to make.  Joshua said, "As for me and my house we will serve the LORD.

Pray for those you know who have not made the choice that Joshua made.  Pray that My Holy Spirit will encounter them, and tell them that to choose to serve Me will bring lasting peace, joy, and love to them.

JOSHUA 24:15

WIN

My Word has a lot to say about conquering, but not much to say about winning.  However, Solomon wrote about winning.

Solomon wrote Proverbs 11:30: "The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and the one who wins souls is wise."

Armies can conquer armies and teams can win sports events.  Some may even win prize money in a contest. When the Holy Spirit anoints us to share the gospel with someone and they are saved,  we win an eternal reward. 

PROVERBS 11:30

ESTABLISHED

Psalm 112 describes how blessed is a man who fears the LORD and one who delights in My commandments. 

When you fear Me which means you desire to keep My commandments and you stand in awe of My majesty, your heart will be established.

When you fear Me, you do not have to be afraid of evil tidings because you trust Me with all your heart.

PSALM 112:7

UNTIL

 I know it is so painful to see the darkness that has shrouded your own nation and the nations of the world. You see the wars and the rumors of wars that I prophesied would come in the end times.

My psalmist felt the pain that evil men had caused in the world,  but then something happened. He went into the sanctuary.  

He wrote: "When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me; until I went into the sanctuary of God; then I understood their end (Psalm 73:16-17). Trust Me to take care of the wicked.

PSALM 73:16-17

NARROW

I was speaking to the multitudes when I exhorted them to enter the strait gate.  I said: " Enter at the  straight gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and there will be many who go in there: Because straight is the gate, and narrow is the way, that leads to life, and few there be who find it (Matthew 7:13-14)."

I am the Good Shepherd Who leads many in paths of righteousness.  However, so many have chosen to never get on this path or have chosen to get off this path.

I came to redeem mankind from sin, and I made it possible for all who trust Me to walk the path of righteousness. Pray for many to choose the straight gate and My path of righteousness.

MATTHEW 7:13-14

WRITE

I told the prophet Habakkuk to write down the vision I had just given him.  I told him to make it plain on tables. There are many visions, dreams, and prophesies in the day that you are living.

I want you to discern what is true in these visions, dreams, and prophesies.  Those that do not contradict the counsel of My Word are worth writing down.  

Some of these prophesies may not be fulfilled right away. When you write these prophesies down and you see them fulfilled, you will never doubt that I am faithful to always fulfill My Word.

HABAKKUK 2:2

GATHER

 "Gather to Me My faithful, those who made a covenant with Me by sacrifice (Psalm 50:5)." This psalm was written many centuries ago when I was speaking to Israel.  At that time they were sacrificing animals to honor Me.

Those sacrifices ceased when the Temple was destroyed in 70AD.  Since I shed My blood and became the perfect sacrifice, the faithful to Me offer the spiritual sacrifices of thanksgiving, praise and worship.

I am now gathering Jewish people and Gentile people in this last great harvest. Pray for many Jewish people to come to know Me as their Messiah. Pray for many Jews to turn to Me during this war in Israel.

PSALM 50:5

ENTIRE

All My beloved want to allow Me to do an entire work in their lives.  I know you want this also.  I am in the process of sanctifying My body on Earth.

This means that I am speaking to the hearts of My beloved about what I want to accomplish in their character and also in their souls.

My beloved have already been sanctified by My blood.  However, My Spirit is still conforming them each day into My image.  Be patient and let My Spirit perfect you so that you will be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

JAMES 1:4 

MULTIPLY

I have the power of multiplication, and I am about to use that power in this last great harvest. So many of those who have been laboring in prayer for revival are going to see the results of their prayers soon.

Many have been praying for their lost relatives, and I want you to know that your prayers have not been in vain.  As this harvest time increases, you will see many salvations in your families.  Be expectant.

Many of those who have labored to bring the gospel to many nations will finally see the fruits of their labors.  Even those countries that have resisted My good news will see that the seed sown will bear fruit.

2 CORINTHIANS 9:10

TELL

There are many things that are being published that do not tell the truth.  My Word is truth and My Spirit is the Spirit of truth.

I am truth itself. There are so many lies being told over your media and even in churches.  Pray diligently against these seducing spirits and lying spirits that are causing many to believe lies.

Pray for My truths to be voiced by My remnant church in such a way that powers and principalities in the spiritual realm will be pulled down.  Publish with the voice of thanksgiving My mighty works.

PSALM 26:7

ABLE

Do you believe that I am able to do all things well?  I am truly able.  Whatever difficult situation that you are in, I am able to deliver you.

Whatever sickness you are having, I am able to heal you.  This is what My Word says.  If you feel all alone, I am able to make My presence known to you.

Whenever you lack faith, I am able to give you the faith you need.  I am able to make  all grace abound toward you so that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to ever good work. 

2 CORINTHIANS 9:8

ROUND

 David wrote: "The angel of the LORD encamps round about those who fear Him, and delivers them (Psalm 34:7)."

David had many times when he was afraid.  His life was one of fight and flight. He also wrote: "What times I am afraid, I will trust in the LORD.

He knew He could trust Me because I promised him that I would always be with Him because he trusted in Me and He feared Me by having an awesome respect for My power and an obedient heart to obey Me.

PSALM 34:7

NEVERTHELESS

I am the "Nevertheless God."  Some time take time to underline the many times in both the New Testament and Old Testament that the word, "nevertheless," appears.

David wrote: "My lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer My faithfulness to fail (Psalm 89:33).

Peter wrote: "Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness (2 Peter 3:13)." Most every "nevertheless" reveals My mercy and lovingkindness."

PSALM 89:33; 2 PETER 3:13

TRIUMPH

I want you to remember that I have already spoiled principalities and powers, and I have made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

After an army won a great victory, they often had a parade after their victory.  The prisoners they had captured were bound in chains and walked at the end of this triumphant parade.

I want you to have that picture in your mind.  I have already won the battle when I died on the cross. The victory is yours now. You now can use the Sword of the Spirit, My Word, to appropriate what I have done.

COLOSSIANS 2:15

DIVIDED

When I walked on earth I said that if a kingdom or a house was divided that it could not stand.  The spirit of anti-Christ has the assignment to cause division in homes, kingdoms, and nations.

This spirit is at work right now in your beloved country and all over the world.  Bind that spirit of anti-Christ and curse its fruit of division.  

Pray for oneness of mind and heart to be established first in your homes.  Nations begin with families. So many families do not even have both parents. Many children are fatherless.  Pray against the strategy of the enemy which is to divide and conquer.

MARK 3:24-25

REFUGE

So many all over the world are fleeing to safe places because of the many wars that are now happening in the world.  Many of the refugees do not know that I am their only safe place.

Pray for these refugees and the laborers who are praying for them and those who are sharing My good news with them.

When you are overwhelmed by the darkness that has entered your own nation, focus your thoughts on Me.  I am your refuge and strength in these troubled times.

PSALM 59:16

CHOOSE

Many people believe that people are born good.  They look at their precious new born babies, and they cannot imagine that such an innocent baby could ever be rebellious. 

Ever since Adam and Eve ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they could choose to do good or evil. That sinful, rebellious nature was passed on to Adam and Eve's first born son and then to us. 

Infants are very self-centered  and rebellious. They will remain that way until they receive My nature within their hearts. I was the only human  born good because I was God in the flesh and My Father is always good.

ISAIAH 7:14-15

GATHER

You have seen the gatherings of two political parties.  There are many gatherings of people who are against My Jewish brothers and sisters. Those gatherings are spreading throughout the world.

Many of those who have gathered together against Me are under the seduction of the anti-Christ spirit that is very active in your day. There were many gathered against Me when I walked on earth. 

I said to them, "He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who gathers not with Me scatters abroad.  Pray against the wicked spirit of anti-Christ that is spreading and causing many to turn against Me.

MATTHEW 12:30

TRY

There is no question that I do try people's faith.  When John had His revelation, I complimented the church at Philadelphia because that church had kept the word of My patience.

I promised that church that  I would keep them from the hour of temptation that would come upon all the  world, to try those who dwell upon the earth.

My prayer is that you and those who are sincere believers in Me and My power will also be victorious whenever their faith is tried.  They will be victorious as they completely depend upon My Holy Spirit.

REVELATION 3:9

STILL

You live in a culture now that has little time to be still and know that I am God.  It takes quality time with Me to get to know Me.

There will be many at the end of time who will stand before Me.  They will tell Me the mighty things that they have done in My name.  My response to those will be "Depart from Me you workers of iniquity. I never knew you."

Many claim to know Me, but so many have no relationship with Me at all.  Those who truly know Me love Me.  Pray for those who claim to be followers of Me, but they only use My name for gain.

LUKE 13:17

CONCERN

There are so many things that are a concern to you now.  I want you to cast all those cares upon Me. I want you to believe the promise My servant David wrote about.

David also had so many cares, but He knew that I heard his prayers and he believed that I cared enough to help him with every concern that he had.

He wrote: "The LORD will perfect those things that concern me.  Your mercy, O LORD, endures forever: forsake not the works of Your own hands (Psalm 138:8)

PSALM 138:8

BACK

When soldiers are given the orders to retreat, their commander usually says, "Fall back."  You belong to a huge army of saints who kept moving forward in faith.

Faith always moves forward.  There is no turning back.  Faith only operates in the present moment.   You need to listen to My Spirit as He guides you in that moment.

My Spirit is faithful to both show you what to do and what to say every moment of the day.  Daily train yourself to hear My Spirit tell you what to do each moment of the day and your day will be fruitful.

HEBREWS 10:38-39

SOUND

I know that you like to hear the sound of My voice before you hear any other voices.  I speak to you in the still, quiet voice of My Holy Spirit within you.

The day will come that you will hear My loud voice.  The sound of My voice then will be like the sound of a trumpet. It will also be like the sound of many waters.

Until that day, keep praying for My Holy Spirit to speak to you daily.  Pray that those who have never heard My voice within them to be born again of My Spirit.  They will then be daily guided by My Spirit.

REVELATIONS 1:10, 14:2

DRAW

My promise is that if you will draw close to Me, I will draw close to you.  Of course, I am always with you.  However, there may be times when you feel I am distant.

I know that there are days when you do not feel My presence with you.  When this happens, just ask My Holy Spirit to reveal anything that might be blocking our fellowship together.

David, the psalmist, had days when he did not feel My presence.  On those days, he asked My Spirit to search his heart. There may be a sin that you need to confess to Me. I will help you re-establish our closeness together. 

JAMES 4:8; PSALM 139:23

ENTER

You are living at the beginning of a great harvest time.  This is your time to pray for souls to enter into the straight gate.

I was speaking to the multitudes from the mountain when I warned them to enter into the straight gate.

I told them that  the gate to destruction was wide and that many would enter that gate.  Pray for My Spirit to lead you to share the gospel to prepared hearts that desire to enter into My kingdom of righteousness.

MATTHEW 7:13

PERSEVERANCE

Many think that the world is about to end.  Others think that the world is falling apart.  You have definitely seen darkness invading every nation in your present time.

I have chosen you to be alive at this time so that you can persevere in prayer and supplication for My beloved body throughout the world. 

Your prayers are like light beams that reach My throne room and return to earth with the power to cause My light to shine in every nation.

EPHESIANS 6:18

TOGETHER

You are called to be laborers together for Me. You are My husbandry. You are My cultivation.  I have planted you as trees of righteousness.

I desire for you to have deep roots.  My servant Paul prayed that you might be rooted and grounded in My love, and that you might know the the width, the depth, height, and length of My love.

Pray daily that you will grow more each day in love with Me.  My love is everlasting and extravagant. Receive My love each day and allow Me to draw close to you.

1 CORINTHIANS 3:9; EPHESIANS 3:18

FRET

It takes a great deal of energy to fret.  People fret for many reasons.  The main reason is that they are frustrated.  As you see the lies and the darkness enveloping the world, I do not want you to fret.

My servant David, the psalmist, had much to fret over.  He had enemies coming against him constantly and even friends betrayed him.  However, he knew the way to not fret over these evil doers.

He knew the answer to never fretting was to give every battle to Me.  I am the just God and only I have the power to know the heart of man.  Trust Me with your battles because I always win.

PSALM 37:8-9

MIDST

The Ninth of Av (Tisha B' Av) is an annual day of fasting in Judaism, on which a number of disasters in Jewish history occurred. It begins at sundown on August 12 and ends on sundown August 13.

Pray for Israel as they face a possible attack from their enemies that surround them.  Pray that this war that is happening in Israel will cause many Jewish people to turn to Me.

Pray that they will know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am their LORD and their Messiah.  Pray that the whole world will see My might and power so that they also will know that I am God.

JOEL 2:27

OFFERINGS

The Levitical priests had to prepare and present many offerings to Me.  Some of these offerings were the peace offering, burnt offering and sin offering.

You are a part of My royal priesthood, and there is are offerings that I desire you give Me.  Those offerings are that you love Me with all your heart, and with all understanding, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and love your neighbor as yourself. 

Offer Me daily your body and your soul as living sacrifices to Me and give Me your willingness to love and forgive others.

MARK 12:33

ABLE

Jesus is able to perform all that He has promised to us. All the promises in Jesus Christ are "Yes, and Amen."  Many of the promises of God are conditional.

If we meet the conditions, we can rest assured that Jesus will grant those promises we desire of Him.  The conditions are to abide in Him, abide in His Word and abide in His love. (John 15)

Abraham was fully persuaded that what God had promised, He was able to perform.  Our faith is not in ourselves to fulfill the promises.  Only Christ in us is able to perform those promises. 

ROMANS 4:21

BALANCE

The whole world seems to be upside down and out of balance.  Yet, I am the One Who holds the whole world in My hands.

Solomon was inspired to write the following in Proverbs:16:11: "A just weight and balance are the LORD's: all the weights of the bag are His work".

You and all believers need to be reminded that I am over all principalities, powers. I am against the rulers of darkness in this world and spiritual wickedness in high places. I am a just God who weighs the hearts of mankind. My justice and mercy wins always over those who do evil.

PROVERBS 16:11

TRANSGRESSIONS

My servant David wrote a psalm that listed all the benefits that I give to those who fear and trust Me.  One of those benefits was the removal of all transgressions.

He wrote: "For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him. As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us (Psalm 103:11-12)."

I always show mercy to those who fear Me.  You fear Me when you stand in awe of My mighty power, and the desire to do My will and obey Me is the supreme motivation of your heart.

PSALM 103:11-12

MANIFOLD

My servant Paul was assigned to share the purpose of My coming. It was a mystery for many, but Paul was called to share this mystery so that the church would know the manifold wisdom of God.

The mystery is that in the dispensation of the fulness of times I will gather together in one all things unto Me, both that are in heaven, and are on earth; even in Me. 

You should rejoice that this mystery has been revealed to you by Paul and by My Word as you search the scriptures.  When you know this mystery, you will have confidence that I will accomplish this plan.

EPHESIANS 3:9-10

TELL

I knew My disciples would be facing great persecution.  I told them not to fear because there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed; and hid that shall not be known. Then I said:

What I tell you in darkness, that speak you in light: and what you hear in the ear, that preach you upon the housetops.

Then I said,  Not one sparrow will fall to the ground without your Father, "but the very hairs of your head are all numbered.  Fear not therefore, you are of more value than many sparrows."

MATTHEW 10:26,29-30

MINISTER

My disciple Peter learned so much during his life on earth.  He began to receive My wisdom, and he challenged those who who minister to speak with My ability within them. He wrote:

"If any man speak, let him speak as the oracle of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability that God gives: so that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, Who is praised and Who has dominion forever and ever. Amen (1 Peter:4:11)

Pray for teachers and preachers to speak under the anointing of My Holy Spirit.  Pray that they will rightly divide the truth of My Word.

1 PETER 4:11

OFFERINGS

The most precious offerings that you give Me are not material.  The offerings you give Me are the spiritual offerings of thanksgiving, praise and worship.

Every morning when you begin your prayers with thanksgiving, I am blessed. Your thanksgiving confirms to Me that you know I love you with an everlasting love.  Your thanksgiving often continues with praise.

Your praises lead to your worship and the songs you sing to praise and worship Me warm My heart.  I pass your thanksgivings, praises, and worship to My Father and we JOY over you with singing.

ZEPHANIAH 3:17

REVEAL

You live in a day when I am uncovering those who have lied and done wickedly.  I always avenge evil, and I have promised to bring all evil into My light so that it will be revealed.

Luke wrote these words: "For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be made known (Luke 12:2)."

I will shine My light upon those things that My adversary has done in the shadows and in the dark.  My light is brighter than any darkness. The evil you see in your nation will be exposed and I will deal with it.

LUKE 12:2

VEIL

When I cried with a loud voice, and  gave up My Spirit, the veil of the Temple was rent from top to bottom.  In that moment, the veil that separated you from entering into My throne room was removed.

My body and My shed blood provided the perfect sacrifice that makes it possible today for you to have an intimate relationship with both My Father and Me through My Holy Spirit.  

When the veil of My flesh was torn on the cross, I made it possible for you to have victory over your own flesh. Daily enjoy the intimate fellowship I have provided for you, and never take it for granted.

MARK 15:38

DISPLAY

The psalmist years ago wrote these words: "You have given a banner to those who fear You, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah"

In this same psalm, the psalmist wrote these words: " You have made the earth to tremble; You have broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shakes (Psalm 60:2).

Everything that can be shaken is shaking right now.  The psalmist added this as our hope: "You have given a banner to those Who fear You, that it may be displayed because of the truth." Selah (Psalm 60:4). That banner is My Word and it is time that My church returns to My Word so they can raise this banner.

PSALM 60

EXALT

When Peter and the apostles were told not to speak any longer about Me, they boldly proclaimed that they should obey God and not man.

Peter went on to share how My Father had exalted Me with His right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

I am in that exalted position today, and through My Holy Spirit's power, repentance can come to your nation.  Keep praying for My Spirit to send that gift of repentance to your nation and the world. 

ACTS 5:28-31

CONFORM

When you think of the word, "conform," you recognize that the word has a smaller word ,"form," in it. Something is formed when it is poured into a mold like liquid clay poured into a ceramic form.

Paul exhorted believers to not be conformed to the world, but instead to be transformed by the renewal of our minds.  The only way that a believer can have his or her mind renewed is through the Word of God.

The Word only has this transforming power when My Word is anointed to not only to renew your mind, but also renew your heart or change your heart.  Pray daily for Me to give you My heart because when you display My heart to others, their heart will be changed.

ROMANS 12:1-2

ENTIRE

My brother James exhorted believers to allow patience to have her perfect work within them so that they may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

I want you to trust My timing for everything in your life.  As you trust Me, you will be able to draw upon the fruit of the spirit called patience.  The patience My brother spoke of is long suffering.

Long suffering means that you are willing to always wait upon Me and My timing. When you are willing to wait upon My work to be done in your life, I will be able to renew your strength and your faith and trust in Me.

JAMES 1:4

INCREASE

During this harvest time, some will sow, plant, and water.  However, I am the LORD of the harvest and I will always give the increase.

Pray for the increase of rain in the days of the latter rain.  I have promised to pour out My Spirit upon all flesh.  Only the gift of repentance sent from My throne room by the Holy Spirit can cause conviction.

The conviction that will lead to repentance will come upon many in your time.  Persevere in prayer for more laborers for the harvest.  Pray that there will be an increase daily of people who come to know Me.

1 CORINTHIANS 3:6

SUPPORT

"Who will you support?" This is question that many are asking as your election season approaches.  My servant Paul shared who he considered worthy of supporting.  1Thessalonians 5:14: "Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the feeble minded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.

Pray now that those who believe in Me will be patient toward all men.  The fruit of true patience is endurance and perseverance.  Keep your focus on Me, and you will stay solid in your faith.

Pray for those who are weak in faith to receive the gift of faith that comes through hearing My Word. Pray against chaos and unruliness. Paul exhorted also to not render evil for evil, but to follow what was good.

1 THESSALONIANS 5:14-15    

VANISH

You have no idea what tomorrow will bring. When you look at your life, it seems like the days passed so quickly.  

My brother James compared life to a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. This is why every day of your life is so very important.

Commit your life to Me daily so that I can fulfill My purposes in your life.  I want you to fulfill all of the works that I have written in your Book of Life.

JAMES 4:14

DEALT

You can remember so many times when I have dealt kindly and mercifully with you.  Even those times when I chastened you, I dealt with you like a loving father deals with his child.

Remember the time that your father had to spank you because of your disobedience.  When you stopped crying and entered the room where your dad was, he put you in his lap and kissed you.

Your dad even pointed out that at that very moment a song that was entitled with your name was playing on the radio.  After I chasten My children, I kiss them and I sing to them because I know they have a heart to obey Me.

PSALM 13:6

CONFIDENCE

Sometimes when you are praying for a person to be convicted by My Holy Spirit to repent of his or her sins, you may lack confidence or have a hard time believing that this person could change.

Do you believe that it is My will and that My greatest desire is that none perish, but that all come to know Me as their LORD and Savior? (2 Peter 3:9)

If you believe that I came to save the lost and that I have the power to redeem people from their sinful ways, then you should have great confidence when you pray for the lost or even prodigals. The confidence you have is that when you pray anything according to My will is that I will hear you and grant your request.

1 JOHN 5:14-15

ENTER

You always have immediate access into My throne room because of the blood that I shed for you.  On the day you received Me as your LORD and Savior, your own righteousness was exchanged for My righteousness.

Thank Me daily for your ability now to enter My throne room boldly.  I purchased you this right when I died as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of the whole world.

Be filled with praise every morning as you arise because you are now in My kingdom on earth.  That kingdom is unshakable and is filled with My peace, joy, and love.

PSALM 100:4

STRONG

My joy will give you strength during these dark days on earth.  I told My disciples at My last Passover meal with them how they could keep not only their own joy, but also how to appropriate My joy within them.

I told them three things that would keep them joyful and strong in their faith.  I told them to abide Me because I am their strength and their very life.  

I told them to abide in My Word because My Word supplied the spiritual food they needed to keep them strong.  I told them to abide in My love because My love always will cause them to be victorious.

JOHN 15:4,7, 9, 10

COMPLETE

When you receive the truth that you are complete in Me, then you will recognize that because I am in you and you are in Me, you now have complete authority over every principality and power.

This truth should make you very bold to use the keys to the kingdom that I have given you.  You can bind Satan and his demons because you have this power.  You can lose the power of My Holy Spirit to defeat  Satan's power.

You must remember that I defeated Satan on the cross.  All of the armies of Satan are now illegal on earth, and you have the legal authority to bind them and shut their plans down.  Use these keys daily.

COLOSSIANS 2:10-15

TRAVEL

Paul took Titus on some of his journeys.  Titus cared for the people that he met in his travels with Paul. He was chosen by the churches to accompany Paul.

The grace of God gave Titus a ready and caring heart that wanted to share the gospel with others.  It was God's grace and the anointing of the Holy Spirit that enabled him to be a great laborer in My kingdom. 

As you travel during this summer, pray that you will be led by My Spirit to be in the right place at the right time.  You may not have time to daily blog, but I will give you divine appointments as you go.

2 CORINTHIANS 8:6

WRITE

After the prophet Habakkuk had his vision, he was told to do the following: "Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run who reads it.

Habakkuk saw the burdensome vision of the evil and violence happening in his land.  Many in this day are having visions, and this was prophesied by Joel who said that the Holy Spirit would be poured out on all flesh. 

Be a watchman on the wall for Israel and write down what you hear, and ask for all lies about Israel to fall to the ground.  Stand against those who stand against Israel and pray for the truth to be known.

HABAKKUK 2:2

NEW

When you were born again, you became a new creature. Old things are passed away; behold all things are become new. I want to remind you of the liberty that you now have as a new creature.

When you repented of your past life and received My life within you, your old life did pass away.  My death on the cross did not just cover your sins.  I took away your sins.  

On the day that you received Me as your LORD and Savior, as far as the east is from the west so far did I remove your transgressions.  You can now live in the newness that I supply you every day.  My mercies toward you are new every morning, and I am faithful to get you through each day victoriously.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:17-21; PSALM 103:12

AFRAID

When I walked on the waters of the Galilee, My disciples saw Me.  I heard them crying out in fear. I immediately yelled to them, "Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid."

So many all of the world are afraid because they see so many wars.  They see My homeland attacked by terrorists, and they fear that their homelands will also be attacked.

I want you to hear Me as I say the same words I yelled to the disciples: "Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid." There are over 365, "Fear not" phrases in My Word. I understand that  you live in in fearful times. However, remember that I am with you, and My nearness to you will give you both peace and joy."

MATTHEW 14:26-27

PRIESTHOOD

 I have called you to be a royal priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices daily.  I want you to offer those spiritual sacrifices to Me in the morning during your prayer time with Me.

I love to hear the sacrifices of thanksgiving and praise.  Enter into My heavenly Temple through the gates of thanksgiving and into My courts with praise.

Then worship Me with songs of worship. The sacrifice that brings Me the most joy is when you give your body to Me as a living sacrifice. I will then be able to use you that day to glorify Me.

PSALM 104; ROMANS 12:1

REVEALED

Some people believe that they can hide from God.  However, there will be a day that every person's work (whether good or bad) will be revealed. My Word says this.

1 Corinthians 3:13-14: "Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide that he has built suffer loss, but he himself shall be saved, yet so as by fire."

Believers in Me will face Me to receive their rewards for the works that survive the fire that will try men's works. Make sure that the works you do every day are the works that I do in the Spirit through you.

1 CORINTHIANS 3:13-14

REDEEMER

On that fateful day that I enjoyed My last Passover with My disciples, I lifted the Cup of Redemption.  This is the third cup of wine that is sipped at the Passover celebration.

I lifted that cup up at the end of the meal. After I had blessed it, I told My disciples that this was My blood of the New Covenant shed for many for the remission of their sins.

Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission for sin.  My blood was given on the cross to redeem mankind from sin. The next time you take communion, remember these truths and every time you eat the bread and drink the cup, remember My death until I return. Thank Me today that your Redeemer lives.

HEBREWS 9:22

MOUNTAINS

Everyone's eyes are upon My homeland now.  I want you daily to pray for the peace of Jerusalem because when you are praying this way, you are praying for My soon return.

There will be no lasting peace in Jerusalem until I return.  I do not want you to be discouraged by the darkness that surrounds you. I want you to be encouraged by the following verse of scripture.

Psalm 125:2: "As the mountains are around  about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about His people from henceforth even forever." I am around you right now and forever.  Do not forget this truth.

PSALM 125:2

BRIGHTNESS

These are very dark times all over the world.  To get through these times, I want you to focus on Me and My redemptive power. I also want you to focus on what awaits you as a believer in Me.

The prophet Isaiah wrote these words: Isaiah 60:19: "The sun shall be no more your light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light to you: but the LORD shall be to you an everlasting light, and your God your glory."

These words will encourage you because these words tell you the rest of the story.  Look forward to that time when My light will light heaven and all the earth will be filled with the knowledge of My glory.

ISAIAH 60:19

MOTHER

Tomorrow is the day that many in your country will honor mothers.  You live in a culture now that is trying to destroy motherhood. This is happening because when your culture forsook Me, Satan came in.

Is there hope for the world? Yes, because I am the hope of the world.  I came as a man and even though I was conceived by the Holy Spirit, I am a flesh man.  I am God in the flesh.

I was very close to My mother when I was on earth and even just before I died on the tree, I asked My disciple John to take care of My mother.  Honor your mother on this day because My love for you is like a mother's love that always believes in her child and defends her child from harm.

ISAIAH 46:3-4

INTENTIONS

I know that you often have said, "I intended to do that, but I forgot."  Sometimes you also have doubted whether or not your intentions were good or bad.

Only My Word can help you discern where your thoughts and intentions are coming from.  When Satan sends you thoughts that are contrary to My Word, take those thoughts captive and give them to Me.

If you are walking in My ways, most of your intentions will be good because intentions are in the heart, not the mind.  When your heart is surrendered to Me, your intentions will be good. Check your thoughts and intents out with what My Word says.

2 CORINTHIANS 10:4-6; HEBREWS 4:12

DELUSION

At the end day God will allow strong delusion to come upon those who refuse the truth about Me. It is important to recognize that Satan himself is under strong delusion.

Satan has the power to deceive, but he is deceived himself because he truly believes that he will have his victory.

Any victory that Satan could have was destroyed when I became the perfect sacrifice so that those who believe in Me could be redeemed.  Take heart during these dark times.  I have already won the battle and the victory is yours.

2 THESSALONIANS 2:11

DISMAYED

When you look at the darkness that is shrouding the world now, it is easy for you to become dismayed. Whenever you are dismayed, I want you to remember the words of the prophet Isaiah to Jacob:

Isaiah 41:10: "Fear not; for I am with you: be not dismayed; for I am your God.  I will strengthen you; yes, I will help you; yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness."

I promise to strengthen, help, and uphold you during these times.  Pray this promise over yourself and others and especially over Israel during these days of war in My land.

ISAIAH 41:10

STRONG

My strength will help you not to stagger in your faith.  Even though Abraham did not know Me personally,  he knew My Father, Who was and is the God of Abraham, Jacob, and Isaac.

He was told that he would have a child from his own loins.  He had to wait twenty five  years before this promise was fulfilled and he was 100 years old when Isaac was born.

Abraham staggered not at the promise My Father gave him. He was strong in faith, giving glory to God. The strength to believe this promise came from Me.  You may be waiting on the fulfilment of a promise I have given you.  Call on My strength to help you to keep believing.  You will see it fulfilled.

ROMANS 4:20

Grounded

Pray daily for My beloved believers to be grounded and settled and to not be moved away from the hope of the gospel. You live in a time when many are falling away from the faith and other believers have lost all hope. 

Hope is the anchor of your soul.  Hope in Me and My promises will keep your mind at peace, your emotions from wavering, and your will steadfast to do My will.

When you put all of your hope in Me and not in the world's solutions to the many problems in the world, you will have good discernment and will not be swayed by the many false doctrines being preached in this day.

COLOSSIANS 1:23

WORTHY

My servant Paul discipled many people and planted many churches.  He prayed constantly for those churches to be faithful and fruitful.

Paul prayed that the believers who he discipled would be filled with the knowledge of My will and also  wisdom and spiritual understanding.

He prayed that they might walk worthy of the LORD and that they might be fruitful in every good work as they increased in the knowledge of Me.  This is a worthy prayer for you to pray for your children, other believers, and future generations.

COLOSSAISNS 1:9-10

DEFENCE

My servant Paul wrote how some were preaching the gospel out of contention, envy or strife, Others were preaching the gospel out of love.

Paul said that he was always ready to defend the gospel.  There are many churches in your culture today who are not preaching the gospel at all.  

Pray for the many who have yet to hear the truth of the gospel of Christ and thereby be saved.  Paul said he was never ashamed of the gospel because it was the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes.  Be ready to share the gospel with those who have not heard it.

PHILIPPIANS 1:15-17; ROMANS 1:16

ABLE

I am able to deliver you when you are tempted.  My adversary will continually tempt you, but I have supplied a way of escape.

"There has no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful Who will not suffer you to be tempted above what you are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that you may be able to bear it (1 Corinthians 10:13). 

I am that way of escape.  The moment Satan's seducing demons tempt you, take that tempting thought captive and give it to Me.  Then ask Me to send you a righteous thought. I will then give you the strength to overcome that temptation.

1 CORINTHIANS 10:13; 2 CORINTHIANS 10:5

VAIN

Paul urged the Corinthian church not to take the grace offered them in vain. He reminded the church that they could enjoy the free gift of salvation today because of My sacrifice.

Give thanks to Me today because you live in the age of grace.  Because of  the blood I shed on the cross to forgive you of your sins, you can now boldly enter My throne  room and find help in the times you need help.

Grace is the supernatural ability to do what is impossible in the natural.  My Holy Spirit gives you that ability.  Enjoy My grace today and pray for those who do not know Me and the grace I offer them.

2 CORINTHIANS 6:1-2

PREVENT

The psalmist wrote these encouraging words. "The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies."

This is a wonderful psalm to remember as My beloved Israel is under such a heavy attack.  My angel Michael, who is the ark angel over Israel, is on duty to prevent the enemies of Israel from winning the war.

Daily pray for the peace of Jerusalem, and look to Me.  I have the strength and power to overcome every enemy of Israel.  My angels hearken to the voice of My Word, so pray My Word over Israel.

PSALM 59:10

FOOLISH

My servant Paul said that the preaching of the cross is to those who perish foolishness; but to those who are saved, it is the power of God.

You live in a culture today where there are many who have hardened hearts that cannot receive the truths about Me and my saving power because of their unbelief.

The root of all sin is unbelief.  Pray for My Holy Spirit to soften the hearts of many today so that their hearts will be ready to receive My truths.

1 CORINTHIANS 1:18; 

Grief

When we think back over the years of our lives, there usually are times when we are overwhelmed with grief.  Isaiah prophesied that I was a man of sorrows and that I was acquainted with grief.

I knew times of grief like in the garden when I asked My Father to remove the cup of suffering that I would face when I gave Myself as the perfect sacrifice so that I could then bear the sins of the world.

Isaiah also said, "Surely He has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows." I experienced every grief, every sorrow, and every pain people experience.  This is why I want you to come to Me during your seasons of grief.  I will be able to give you My peace and My joy to strengthen you during your grief.

ISAIAH 53:3-4

STAND

Remember when you were in summer Bible School, and you and all the children sang, "Stand up, Stand up for Jesus, you soldiers of the cross. Lift high the royal banner, you must not suffer loss.

That song causes both you and Me to grieve over the loss of a generation that has not been taught to fear Me and who do not know My Word.

So many even Christian children who had godly families that taught My word have fallen away.  Seducing spirits have had success in drawing this generation away from their faith.  Pray for this generation.

CORINTHIANS 2:5

VISIT

Most all of us love to have someone come and visit us.  We spend our time preparing for the visit. We clean our homes and even try to clear closets to get ready for our visitor to hang up their clothes.

We think about what we can serve our visitors for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  We even think about the places our guests might like to visit.

There is one visit, however, that I do not want you ever to miss.  That visit is when I come to you and desire to spend time with you.  Yes, I look forward to our times together in the morning when we have fellowship one with the other.  The only preparation for that visit is that you focus on Me, Your Savior. 

HEBREWS 2:6

PASSOVER

Tonight Jewish families all over the world will be seated at their tables to celebrate the first feast on the Jewish lunar calendar. They will enjoy remembering the great exodus of their people from Egypt.

Pray for them this evening as they celebrate Passover.  Pray also for the peace of Jerusalem as many will be on high alert in Israel because of the war there.

Pray for many of My Jewish brothers and sisters to be saved even during this wartime.  Pray that they will call out to Me for help. Pray for the laborers who are reaching out to Jewish people during this harvest time. 

ROMANS 1:16 

SUN

The psalmist wrote: "From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same the LORD's name is to be praised. Jewish days begin at sundown and end at sundown.  

I desire your praise all the day long, but there is something special about praising Me at the end of the day. As the shadows of dusk begin to form, you can begin to think of all the ways that I blessed you in the day.

When the sun first rises and  the sun begins to go down, the birds sing the loudest. They are praising Me. Join the symphony of their praise tomorrow and every day.  I will join with you, and together we can sing praises to My Father.

PSALM 113:3

CONFIDENCE

During these days of uncertainty, you and all My beloved need to put their confidence in Me and not in the news or what might happen tomorrow.

Have confidence in My ability to see you through whatever you may face in the future. Grace is the supernatural ability to do what is impossible in the natural.

My grace is more than sufficient to help you get through whatever circumstance you may face in the future.

HEBREWS 3:14

GLORIFY

My servant Paul exhorted believers to glorify God in their bodies and their spirits. God created all the beauty on earth to glorify Him which means to make His presence known on earth.

Every person born on earth has the same assignment which is to live lives that glorify God.  God is a spirit and we cannot see Him, so He created people to make His presence known on earth through their lives. 

Our heavenly Father sent Jesus to glorify Him on earth or to help us to know what our Father is like.  Jesus was the express image of God in the flesh. Pray daily that My Holy Spirit will help you glorify Me by your words and your actions.

1 CORINTHIANS 6:20

BENEFITS

When people are looking for jobs, they usually want to know what the benefit plan is. They want to have assurance that when they retire they will have enough money to live on until they die.

The benefit plan that I have for all My beloved is a benefit plan that is eternal.  However, eternity for every believer begins on they day that they ask Me to be their Savior and Lord. 

My plan is to daily load My beloved with benefits. David wrote this: "Blessed be the LORD, who daily loads us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah"

PSALM 68:19

CONSIDER

The writer of Hebrews gave many exhortations to those who believed in Me. One of the main exhortations he gave to My body on earth was something you should consider doing every day.

He encouraged those who read his letter to consider one another go provoke (encourage) one another to love and good works.

This is an exhortation that I want you to consider every day.  Consider each day how you can demonstrate My love to another believer and also how you can encourage believers to not be weary of well doing.

HEBREWS 10:24

CONSTANTLY

My servant Paul expressed My exact desire for all of My beloved.  Paul wrote these words to Titus: "This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that you affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men."

I have many good works for you to do before you come to be with Me.  Those works will benefit many people and they will help many to grow in their faith.

The very best work you can do while you are on earth is to share the truths of My gospel with others. Pray for opportunities daily to share My Word and also your testimony with others.

TITUS 3:8

WORKS

Just after I fed the multitudes, many asked Me, "What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? I responded with  this statement, "This is the work of God that you may believe on Him Who He has sent."

I promised later that those who would believe on Me would not only do the works that I did, but they would do even greater works.

There are works that I have written in your Book of Life that I want you to accomplish while you are on earth. These works will all be fulfilled as you keep your focus on Me and not yourself because I am the One Who works within you both to give you the will and then the way to do My good pleasure.

JOHN 6:28-29, 14:12; PHILLIPIANS 2:13

PRESS

My servant Paul never felt like he had attained all that I desired for him to attain.  However,  he never looked back at his failures. Instead, he pressed forward to the mark which was his high calling.

The way to walk in the Spirit is to leave the past behind and to press forward to those things that I have appointed and empowered you to do.

Every morning when you pray, "Offer your day, your way, your works and your will to Me"  When you do this My Holy Spirit within you will be able to help you do the next thing.  That way, you will accomplish what I have desired for you to accomplish in My strength each day.

PHILIPPIANS 3:13-14

BREATH

 

When I said that I am the way, the truth and the life, I was saying that without Me, you cannot live. I am life itself.  You cannot take another breath unless I ordain this.

After I rose again, and the disciples were gathered around Me, I went to each one and breathed My breath into them.  This is when they received My Holy Spirit into the temples of their bodies.

My Holy Spirit is the breath of life. I do not dwell in temples made by man.  I dwell in the temples that I made.  You contain My Holy Spirit because you received Me as your LORD and Savior. Thank and praise Me today because you contain Holy breath.  Pray for those who need My life, My breath within them.

ACTS 17:24-25; JOHN 20:22-23

AUTHOR

I know that before you read a book, you want to know everything about the author.  You want to know that the author is truthful and reliable.  You want to know if the author knows the Bible.

I am the Author and Finisher of your faith.  I wrote your Book of Life before the foundation of the earth. This book even talks about how I knew your substance and the members of your body before you were born.

This book contains all the works that I desire for you to accomplish while you live on earth.  You cannot read this book now, but at the end of time I will read it to you, and then you will see the chapters of your life unfold. I am faithful and truthful. As you trust Me daily, you will accomplish all of these works.

HEBREWS 12:2

UNBELIEF

The children of Israel could not enter into the promised land because they had an evil heart of  unbelief.  They departed from Me.

Unbelief comes from a heart that is full of pride.  This blocks so many people from coming to Me. They are high minded and think they know more than I do.

Many are falling away from the faith now because they have believed the seducing and lying spirits that Satan is sending in great number in these last days.  Pray for those you know who have yet to believe in Me.  Pull down any strongholds of pride in their lives, and pray that they humble themselves before Me.

HEBREWS 3:12

MIGHTY

I am the King of glory and I am mighty in battle.  With all the battles that are going on in the world, I want you to keep your focus on Me. Behind every physical battle, there is a spiritual battle.

The psalmist David wrote these words: "Lift up your heads , O ye gates, and be ye lifted up, your ever lasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in (Psalm 24:7).

Your head has three gates (the eye, ear, and mouth gates).  You have a choice daily to close your eye, ear and mouth gates to worldly things and instead, open them to holy things.  When your focus is on Me, the King of Glory, I will come into your heart and do spiritual battle for you.

PSALM 24

DELUSION

The spirit of anti-Christ is in the world and has been present since Lucifer fell from heaven.  Satan thinks that this spirit of anti-Christ is under his authority, but it is not.

I am the One Who is over all principalities and powers, rulers of darkness, and wickedness in heavenly places. I use the very spirits of Satan to fulfill My purposes. My servant Paul knew this and wrote:

And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in those who perish, because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.  And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that hey should believe a lie (2 Thessalonians 2:10-11)"

2 THESSALONIANS 2:10-11

PERFECT

The lambs that were presented at the Temple during the Passover had to be perfect lambs.  They could not have any wounds, bruises, or infections.

I am the perfect lamb slain from the foundation of the earth.  When I was crucified on the tree, I was wounded for your transgressions, bruised for your iniquities, and the chastisement of My peace was upon you.

I bore the sins of the whole world which meant that My Father could not even look at Me because He has purer eyes than to behold evil.. My body was restored to perfection after I rose from the dead. You are now perfect in My sight because I exchanged your unrighteousness for My righteousness when I died for your sins.

ISAIAH 53

REFRAIN

Solomon wrote, "He who refrains his lips is wise." Peter, James and John had a hard time refraining their tongues.  I called James and John "The Sons of Thunder." 

When the Samaritans did not receive Me when I was on the way to Jerusalem,  James and John asked Me to command fire to come down from heaven to consume them.

Peter usually blurted out whatever he thought.  I even had to rebuke him at one point. However, it was Peter who learned to refrain his tongue and lips.  He wrote this: "For he  who will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile (1 Peter 3:10) 

PROVERBS 10:19; LUKE 9:53-54; 1 PETER 3:10

RELIEVE

When I see so many oppressed all over the world, I grieve.  So many do not know that I am their hope when  they are bowed down.

I came to relieve all those who are bowed down.  I am able to relieve the widow and the fatherless.  I am able to feed the hungry.  I am able to set the prisoners free.

I am the One Who will watch over strangers. I am the father to the fatherless. These words were written about Me by prophets and psalmists centuries before I came to earth. I am the same, today, and forever. I can relieve you.

PSALM 146

RENDER

The word, "surrender," has the word, "render," in it.  When someone renders something to another person, they are surrendering something of value to that person. The word, "render," means to give or to give over.

You are living in very dark, and evil days.  Paul exhorted believers to not render evil for evil.  It is a temptation for many to do this.  

Paul wrote: "See that no one render evil for evil to any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men (1 Thessalonians 5:15.)." Pray for the those who are evil to surrender to Me and repent.

1 THESSALONIANS 5:15

KNOW

I  knew you before the earth was formed.  I know this is hard to understand, but it is true.  David wrote: "my substance was not hid from You, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth."

I long for people to know that I have known them and now know everything about them.  There is nothing hidden from Me.  This is why I desire for people to come to Me instead of  running from Me.  

I am the One Who knows you better than you know yourself.  Come to Me daily.  Hide nothing from Me. Cast every care upon Me because I care for you.

PSALM 139:15; 1 PETER 5:6-7

ARISE

ARISE, SHINE; for your light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. The prophet Isaiah wrote these words centuries before I was born.

During this resurrection season, give praise to Me for truly I am the light of the world Who desires for many to come to My light.

Pray diligently that many who are in darkness now will come to My light and arise to be shining lights in My kingdom.

ISAIAH 60:1

SENSES

My enemy's strategy is to first tempt people in the area of their five senses.  The lust of the flesh is giving in to the temptation to overindulge the five senses in an addictive way.

The five senses were created by Me so that people could enjoy what I created. Satan used the senses of Eve to seduce her.  She first saw the fruit was pleasant to her eyes. and it looked like it would taste good.

The only way to resist Satan's seduction through the five senses is to have your senses exercised to discern good and evil by abiding in My Word.  So many have become victims of addiction because they do not know My Word. Pray for this generation to return to learning the principles in My Word.

GENESIS 3:6; HEBREWS 5:14

REJOICE

It is nearing the time when people will be celebrating Resurrection Sunday.  It is a time to remember when My disciples discovered My empty tomb.  

There are many religions that worship various gods, but no gods that they worship were ever raised from the dead. I was able to go to Jerusalem with joy in My heart because I knew that soon all the world would be offered the gift of salvation.

Rejoice and celebrate the fact that you now have the same resurrection power (the Holy Spirit) within you that raised Me from the dead.

ROMANS 8:11

CAST

My servant Peter exhorted believers to humble themselves before Me by casting all of their cares upon Me for I do care for them

Never neglect casting your cares upon Me.  Think about how a fisherman casts his rod out into the water with the hope of catching a fish.  He does this with great faith that he will catch a fish.

I eagerly await for you to cast your cares upon Me with faith believing that I not only hear your cares, but I also will perfect all those cares that are a concern to you.

1 PETER 5:6-7; PSALM 138:8

SHEDDING

The author of Hebrews wrote to the Jewish believers before the destruction of the Temple in 70AD these words: "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without the shedding of blood is no remission."

I shed My blood for the remission of the sins of the whole world.  Pray for many today to recognize that though their sins be as scarlet, My blood can make them white as snow.

On that fateful day that I died on the tree, I exchanged the unrighteousness of human kind for My pure righteousness. Pray that many will receive Me as their Savior so that their sins can be washed away.

HEBREWS 9:22; ISAIAH 1:18

 

SLIP

The writer of Hebrews warned his readers not to take for granted the message of salvation that was given to those believers in Christ Jesus.

You are at danger to drift from the faith, not due to what you have done, but instead due to what you leave undone. When you skip your times in prayer and My Word, you leave a space in your heart and mind..

My adversary will fill the space in your mind and heart with doubt and unbelief. Those who are true disciples of Mine will continue in My Word.  Continuing in My Word is the only way you can be set free from the strongholds in your life.

HEBREWS 2:1; JOHN 8:31-32

LONGING

 You used to sing a song titled, "Longing for Jesus."  The words were, "I have a longing in My heart for Jesus, I have a longing in My heart for Him.

Just to be near Him, to feel His presence.  I have a longing in my heart for Him. You sang that song when you were a teenager in your youth fellowship.

I am so grateful that you still have a longing in your heart for Me.  I want you never to lose that longing.  Pray for those you know who do not have that longing to be near Me and to feel My presence.

PSALM 107:9

KEEP

 I created your body. Since you received Me as your Lord and Savior, your body is now the Temple of My Holy Spirit.

Every day I want you to offer your body to Me as a living sacrifice.  You can daily offer the members of your body to be used as instruments of My righteousness, joy, peace, and love.

When you are faithful to do this every morning, I will be able to use you as a co-laborer with Me to build up My kingdom on earth.

ROMANS 12:1  

EXALT

I appreciate it when you exalt Me with your praises and your worship.  I am always blessed when you sing to Me and mention My name.

I know that it is human nature to want to be successful and even to be exalted in this world through promotions and praises.  It is against human nature to be humble.

I humbled Myself and denied My kingly glory so that I now can help you humble yourself before Me. The best way to humble yourself before Me is to cast every care upon Me, and I promise to exalt you in due time when you do this.

1 PETER 5:6

SINCERE

My servant Paul wrote to the Philippian Church this exhortation: "That you may approve things that are excellent; that you may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ."

This was Paul's exhortation and it also is mine to you.  While I was on earth, I truly was an offence to many, but I was never and offence to My Father.

There will be people who are offended by your stand for Me.  When you appear to My father, know that My blood shed for you will provide right standing with My Father.  I became sin for you, so that you will be able to be righteous in My Father sight. You will appear without offence before My Father.

PHILIPPIANS 1:10

DEEDS

There will be a day of judgment when I will render to everyone according to their deeds. There will be those who have done good deeds, but the motivation of their good deeds was to make themselves appear to be righteous.

There is only one way that a person can be righteous in My Father's sight. When I died on the tree, I offered mankind the opportunity to be righteous in the eyes of My Father. 

My blood was shed in order that those who believed in Me could receive remission for their sins. Pray for those who have yet to receive My redemptive power. I have the power to turn their hearts toward Me.

ROMANS 2:6

BRIGHTNESS

When I return, I will destroy My enemy with the brightness of My coming. I am the very brightness of My Father's glory.

When it is a very bright day with no clouds in the sky, you are not able to look directly at the sun.  If you were able to do this, you would have to close your eyes quickly because your eyes could not receive that brightness.

When Paul had his Damascus Road experience, My brightness surrounded him.  He described that brightness from heaven to be brighter than the sun. When you reach heaven, My Father is clothed in that brightness and His glory light fills all of heaven.  In heaven there will be no darkness. Only bright days.

HEBREWS 1:3

UNBLAMEABLE

You are living in the days when you will experience more and more persecution.  My adversary who is called the accuser of the brethren will use this tool to come against many of My beloved.

When accusations come your way, I do not want you to take it personally.  I want you to consider the source.  You are not fighting flesh and blood. You are fighting principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, and wickedness in high places.

Pray for those who come against you with accusations and lies. Through My death on the cross, I have made you righteous and unblameable.  Thank Me for this wonderful gift of righteousness.

EPHESAINS 6:12; COLOSSIANS 1:22

FORWARD

A walk with Me is a walk of always moving forward.  I do not want you to regret anything in the past. When I forgave you of your sins before I died on the tree, I forgave you for every sin (past, present, and future).

I did not just cover your sins. I took them away.  So far as the east is from the west, so far have I removed your transgressions.

Meditate today and tomorrow and every day on how My blood was sufficient to cleanse you of all unrighteousness. I see you today dressed in a robe of righteousness.  See yourself dressed that way today.

PSALM 103:12

KNOW

The question I want you to ask those you meet as you go is, "Do you know Jesus?"  People either know Me or they do not.

At the end of time, there will be those who come before Me and I will say to them, "Depart from Me you workers of iniquity for I never knew you.

They will tell Me all that they did miracles in My name, but their motives were selfish to glorify themselves, not Me.  When you appear before Me, I will not only judge those things you have done in your body on earth, but I will also judge the motives behind what you did.  Remember this.

LUKE 13:27
