I am exalted above the heavens. This means that I am above all things that I have created. I created you and I am above you. However, I have seated you next to Me in the heavens.
Just as I am with you, you are with Me in the Spirit. It thrills Me when you lift up your voice to Me to exalt Me through your praise and worship.
I look forward to this every morning.
PSALM 97:9
I am a God of recompense. I am a righteous God Who always recompenses tribulation on all those who trouble the righteous.
As you see the wars that are caused by evil people, understand that their evil will be delivered back to them. Those unrighteous, haughty makers of war will be destroyed at the end day.
You can have hope now that I defend the righteous and I avenge any evil that has been done to them. Have no fear, I see all and I know all. I have hosts of angels that are ready to defend the righteous.
2 THESSALONIANS 1:6
My servant Paul talked about the day when I will return and how all My saints will admire Me. I know that you and all of My beloved are looking forward to that day when they will see Me face to face.
Paul continued to talk about that day and then he prayed that on that day, God would count the saints worthy of their calling.
He continued and prayed that they would fulfill all the good pleasure of My goodness, and finish the work of faith with power so that My name would be glorified in them all. I am praying this for you also.
2 THESSALONIANS 1:10-12
My servant Paul wrote to Timothy these words: "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus(1 Timothy 2;5)."
I had to become a man. I am both God and man. I am both divine and human. I had to come to earth and live and die as a human. In order to be the perfect sacrifice I had to have a body.
Because of My sacrifice, I can now reconcile people to My Father. I died for the remission of their sins. All who believe in Me can receive My gift of salvation. You can now call My Father "your Father."
1 TIMOTHY 2:5
My servant Paul's earnest expectation was that when he saw Me face to fact that he would not be ashamed about anything. His hope was that I would be magnified in his body as long as he lived on earth.
Paul exhorted every believer to offer their bodies daily as living sacrifices. When My beloved do this every morning, I rejoice.
Paul fulfilled his mission on earth, and I was magnified in his life on earth. I know your prayer also and the prayer of many of My beloved is that they also will magnify Me daily until I call them home.
PHILIPPIANS 1:20
When I return, I will be a refiner's fire to purify and to cleanse. Every man will have to give an account for the things they did in their bodies.
I want all My beloved to daily allow Me by the power of My Holy Spirit to refine their souls. Those who believe in Me and My atonement are already refined in their spirit because they have My Spirit within.
The soul is what needs refining. Every day I want you to surrender your mind, will, and emotions to Me and ask My Holy Spirit to refine those areas that need to be refined. I am conforming you to My image.
MALACHI 3:2
Only My Word has the power to renew your mind and change your heart. Paul wrote: "Be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind...."
My Word is living and has the "power to divide your soul and spirit...." It is your soul (mind, will, and emotions) that desires worldliness rather than godliness.
My Word can give you godly thoughts instead of worldly thoughts. My Word can give you godly desires rather than willful desires, and My Word can anchor your emotions with My hope.
ROMANS 12:1-2; HEBREWS 4:12
It is such a blessing to be accepted by others. Most everyone want to be accepted. Those who have experienced much rejection long for acceptance.
The good news is that you are accepted by Me. According to My will, you were predestined to be adopted as My Father's child by Me. Sadly many do not know this good news.
I want you to share My gospel with those who have never received My gift of salvation. Once they believe in Me and receive Me as their Savior, they are immediately accepted in My beloved family.
EPHESIANS 1:5-6
My servant David made a promise to Me that I desire for you and all My beloved to promise. He said, "I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me."
Death and life are in the power of the tongue. What you speak daily can edify others or harm them. There is no way that you can train your tongue to say the words that are acceptable to Me.
The words you speak come from your heart. I want you to daily pray this prayer: "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight." I will then be able to keep your mouth.
PSALM 139:1, 19:14
At My last Passover with My disciples after dinner, I lifted the cup of wine and said, "This is the blood of the new covenant shed for many for the remission of their sins."
The word, "remission," in English means forgiveness, a pardon of sins and crimes, and a a release from debt. When I shed My blood and forgave your sins at My crucifixion, I paid the debt that you owed.
At last, you could choose to walk out of the prison of unforgiveness by receiving My gift of salvation offered to you because of the remission of your sins.
MATTHEW 26:28
I want you to take communion often. Many churches only do this once every three months. However, it delights Me when people daily have their own private communion with Me.
I told My disciples at my last Passover with them that as often as they eat the bread and drink the cup, they remember My death until I come.
When I shed My blood, I atoned for the sins of the world. That atonement was also for healing. When I died, I took your infirmities and bore your sicknesses. Honor Me by remembering My sacrifice often.
1 CORINTHIANS 11:26; MATTHEW 8:17
You are worth to Me more than many sparrows, and I place a high value on sparrows. In fact, I see when a sparrow falls. I attend the funeral of every sparrow, and I even number the hairs on your head.
I am the One Who created you, and I was present at your conception. It was at your conception that My light shined upon you. I am the One Who lights every man who comes into the world.
Pray for those who do not yet know Me. I know each one of them, and I desire to fellowship with them. See every person as I see them. I see every person as My valuable treasures.
LUKE 12:7; JOHN 1:9
You are a new creature in Me. The old things are passed away and all things are new. I was the perfect sacrifice that made it possible for you to be reconciled to My Father.
You are now an ambassador for Me, and I have also given you the ministry of reconciliation. The people who believe that I died, was buried, and was raised from the dead can have their sins forgiven.
This is the good news that I want you to share. Those who receive Me as their Savior and LORD can also become new creatures in Me. Look for opportunities to share this ministry of reconciliation with others.
2 CORINTHIANS 5:17
My servant Paul warned believers to not mind high things. He encourage them to be of one mind toward each other.
We are not to be wise in our own conceits. This is pride. I invited all who believe in Me to come to Me and learn meekness and lowliness of heart. Meekness is strength under control.
Pray for those believers you know to have godly wisdom, and to not set their affections on high earthly things, but the high things that are eternal. Paul exhorted believers to set their affections on things above.
ROMANS 12:16
You are My prized possession. I paid to possess you with My own shed blood when I became the perfect sacrifice that My Father accepted. You are now reconciled to My Father by the blood I shed on the tree.
I knew you before you were born. You are mine and I am yours. I dwell within you by My Spirit and with My strength I know you are going to run the race of life well.
Paul wrote that he pressed toward the mark for the prize of the high calling that I gave him. As you trust in Me, you will fulfill the high calling I have given you and you will receive your prize.
PHILIPPIANS 3:14
I want you to think about the inheritance that you have in Me. I own the cattle on 1,000 hills, and I am able to meet all your needs according to My riches.
You are My child, and this makes you an heir of God and a joint-heir with Me. I have justified you by My grace. You received My inheritance when you were born again and this inheritance is eternal.
You are surrounded by a whole host of angels who have been sent to minister to all the heirs of salvation. All I have is yours. Enjoy your inheritance daily right now and for all eternity.
ROMANS 8:17; HEBREWS 1:14
My servant Paul experienced the exceeding abundance of My power that worked through him after His Damascus Road experience.
He was able to do exceedingly great things because he yielded to My Holy Spirit within him. He knew that he was not the one who was able to do great things. It was My Spirit working in him.
Paul daily yielded his body to Me as a living sacrifice and then he listened carefully to the voice of My Spirit Who taught him and guided him. I want you to follow his example, and do it daily.
EPHESIANS 3:20.
Every time you are tempted, you are on trial. I ever live to make intercession for you, and My prayer for you when you are tempted is that you will say no to that temptation.
You can always win over temptation when you take those tempting thoughts captive and then send them to Me. Ask Me then to send you a righteous thought.
It is no sin to have a tempting thought. Satan is sending those thoughts to you daily. Know that I am praying for you, and I have made it possible for you to win. You are more than a conqueror through Me.
JAMES 1:12; 2 CORINTHIANS 10:3-6; ROMANS 8:37
My servant Paul wrote many letters to the various churches he planted. He exhorted most of those churches to not grow weary in well doing.
He added that if they did not faint and grow weary, they would in due season reap what they had sown. Remember that My Father is in charge of the seasons of planting and sowing.
One of the main tactics of My enemy in these last days is to cause the saints to give up. He tries to block the fruits of the labor of the saints, but if every laborer is faithful to keep sowing, they will see the fruit.
GALATIANS 6:9; 2 THESSALONIANS 3:13
The benefits of a merry heart are great. Those who look to Me to give them joy will have merry hearts. At My last Passover meal with My disciples I told them how they could receive My joy.
I told them three things that they could do in order to receive My joy and have My joy remain in them. Those three things were ABIDE IN ME, MY WORD, AND MY LOVE.
When you daily receive My joy, you will have strength and a continual merry heart. You will have health because a merry heart is good medicine and you will have a continual feast and a cheerful countenance.
JOHN 15; PROVERBS 13, 15, 17
I desire for you to be instant in doing two things daily. This means that you are to prepare yourself to instantly obey My Holy Spirit when He guides you to share the gospel and pray with others
Be ready to stop everything you are doing when you are led by My Spirit to pray. Your quick response to My call for you to pray could even save a life that is in danger.
Paul exhorted Timothy to always be prepared to share My gospel of the kingdom both in season and out of season. Daily watch for opportunities to share My good news with others.
ROMANS 12:12; 2 TIMOTHY 4:2
My cousin John came preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. He was preparing the way for My coming.
John was that voice in the wilderness crying, "Prepare you the way of the LORD, make His paths straight." Isaiah prophesied that all flesh would see the salvation of God.
When I came and gave Myself as the perfect sacrifice, I made it possible for you to be put on the straight path of My righteousness. I am also your Good Shepherd Who will keep you on that path.
LUKE 3:4-6; PSALM 23
I gave this invitation to all who believe in Me. I invite you and every believer to come to Me and take My yoke upon them and learn of Me meekness and lowliness of heart.
Then I said that My yoke is easy and My burden is light. My yoke is the Holy Spirit, and I want you daily to be yoked with My Holy Spirit because He can give you the strength and guidance you need daily.
My burden is light in weight because when you give Me your cares and burdens, I share that burden with My Father. Then We pray for you. I am Your care taker and giver. I give your cares to My Father.
MATTHEW 11:28-30
My servant Paul exhorted the churches he wrote to be of one mind and one Spirit. In order to be of one Spirit, you must be joined to Me in truth and love.
My adversary always tries to divide. He hates unity because he knows that a house divided against itself cannot stand. This is why he causes division in families, countries, and even My body on earth.
Be alert to Satan's strategy to divide. He uses the very mouths of people to speak his language of accusatory, critical, judgmental words. Watch and pray so that he will never use you to speak his words.
1 CORINTHIANS 1:10
My servant Paul prayed a beautiful prayer for the church in Philippi. He prayed that they might approve those things that were excellent and that they might be sincere and without offence until the day of Christ.
This is a great prayer for you to pray for all those you love. He also prayed for the believers to be filled with the fruits of righteousness that are from Me.
Every morning ask Me to fill you with a fresh anointing so that you will be able to express the fruits of My Spirit to all those you talk to each day.
PHILIPPIANS 1:10-11
The word "submit" means in English "to present or to refer to others for consideration or decision." This means that a person who submits usually wants another person to help them make a decision.
The Greek word, "submit: means "to be under obedience." You are to obey My commandment to love others as I have loved you. I want you to first submit yourself to Me.
Paul encouraged believers to submit themselves one to one another in the fear of God. This means that you are to submit to others with love in your heart for others because you are to love others as I love them.
EPHESIANS 5:21
There were contentions often between My disciples. Later after Paul was converted, the contentions between him and Barnabas was so sharp that they had to separate.
Barnabas wanted to take Mark with them on their travels to minister, but Paul did not want to take Mark since Mark had left the work of the ministry for a season.
Contention happens when two people are not content with their circumstances. Paul said that godliness with contentment is great gain. Pray that you will be content no matter what your circumstances are.
ACTS 15:35-39; 1 TIMOTHY 6:6
There are two things that will preserve you throughout your life. David listed these two things in a Psalm he wrote.
A verse in this Psalm was a prayer that David often prayed. He prayed: "Withhold not Your tender mercies from me, O LORD: let Your lovingkindness and Your truth continually preserve me."
David's life was one of fight and flight. This was a prayer that he often prayed to Me. He knew that I was merciful, and he counted on my kindness and truth to continually preserve him.
PSALM 40:11
You are a co-laborer with Me. I am always with you, and I desire for you to pray together with the body of Christ.
There is such power in agreement, and most of all I want you to be in agreement as I intercede for your family, friends, and even nations.
I ever live to make intercession for you and all those who believe in Me. When you do not know what to pray, ask Me to reveal what I am praying concerning people and circumstances. I will help you pray.
HEBREWS 7:25
As you abide in Me, My Word, and My love, your path will grow brighter and brighter. I am the light of the world, and when you were born again, I lit your spirit with My light.
The world seems to be getting darker and darker, but My beloved will shine brighter in this darkness. Day by day, ask for a fresh anointing so that My Spirit within you will shine outward to those you meet.
Solomon wrote this: "But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shines more and more unto the perfect day." As you spend more time with Me, your countenance will shine brighter and brighter.
PROVERBS 4:18
The spirit of man is My candle that searches the inner parts of a human being. You are a spirit being. You have a soul and you live in a body. This is how I created you.
Only when I light the candle of the spirit of man are they born again of My Spirit. My psalmist David wrote: For thou will light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
During this last great harvest, I am lighting the candle of many of the prodigals who have rebelled against Me and who have been walking in darkness. Pray that My light will pierce those dark hearts.
PROVERBS 20:27: PSALM 18:28
You are the planting of the LORD. You are a tree of righteousness. Every believer in Me can rejoice in these truths.
My servant David wrote a psalm about how these plantings grow and mature. He wrote: "The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree, he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon."
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat a flourishing. This is a promise that every believer who is aging can claim. Rejoice that even in your last years on earth, you will be fruitful.
PSALM 92:12, 14
You daily pray for those who have problems walking. You pray that I will set My angels around them to keep them from falling.
I am able to keep you from falling not only physically, but also spiritually. I am able to keep you from falling and to present you faultless before presence of My Father.
You have always received this promise with thanksgiving: "Now unto Him Who is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy (Jude 1:24)"
JUDE 1:24
You are living in the last days when I prophesied that there would be wars and rumors of wars. The earth seems to be filled with darkness.
Fill your mind with thoughts that are lovely, honest, true, pure, just, and of good report. These are the things that My servant Paul wrote that you should think about.
What thoughts you embrace in your mind will either cause you to be embraced with My peace or embraced with anxiety and fear.
PHILIPPIANS 4:8
Friendships are based on trust. A true friend is one with whom you can share your most intimate thoughts. After I got to know the disciples I had chosen, I told them that they were My friends.
I said, "Henceforth I call you not servants, for the servant knows not what his lord does, but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of My Father I have made known to you."
Every morning when you wake up, I want to have a friend to friend conversation with you. Ask Me questions and then wait for Me to answer you with a heart to heart talk.
JOHN 15:15
I want you to seek and set your affection on things that are above, not things on this earth. There are so many distractions on earth that draw you away from thinking of Me.
As soon as you arise from sleep, read one of the Psalms. Then write some things down that you want to thank Me for that happened yesterday. This will draw your attention to Me.
When you enter My courts with thanksgiving, you will be led into praise, and finally worship. Now you are in the Holy of Holies where I will meet you there. My glory light will make things on earth grow dim.
COLOSSIANS 3:2
My mercy endures forever and I am a God of tender mercies. I watch over you with tender mercy because I know you are flesh and that you may give in to the temptations My adversary sends you.
When you are tempted, remember that I am watching and I want to tenderly rescue from Satan's grip. This is why I came. I came to liberate you from Satan by forgiving you and redeeming you.
Yes, whenever you are tempted, take your thoughts captive and give them to Me immediately. Then I will give you a righteous thought that will counter those attacks from Satan.
LUKE 1:71-80
There has always been a measure of division in My body on earth. However, these divisions are caused by those members of the body who are not abiding in my love or by Satan who seeks to divide.
I desire that there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
Division occurs in My body on earth simply because someone or many are abiding in their flesh instead of abiding in My love and My Word. Pray for My body on earth to be one even as My Father and I are one.
1 CORINTHIANS 12:25
When I met the woman at the well, I told her that I had water to give her that would satisfy her thirst and that the water I have to give will become a well of water that will spring up into everlasting life.
On the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles just after the priests had finished their water ceremony, I said these words, "If any man thirst, let him come to Me, and drink.
He who believes on Me, as the scripture has said out of His belly shall flow rivers of living water." The living water is My Holy Spirit. Pray for the living water to fill you each day and you will be satisfied.
JOJN 4:14; JOHN 7:37-38
My servant Paul had many enemies against him. However, he was very secure in My love for and acceptance of him.
He wrote: "What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Paul wrote this just after he confessed that the main enemy the had was his own flesh with its lusts.
You and all My beloved will always have a battle to overcome their fleshly lusts. However, you can rest assured that I am for you. I have overcome the world and I can help you win over your flesh.
ROMANS 8:31
There are many in the world who do not know God. This is why it is so important to pray for more laborers to share My gospel of the kingdom throughout the world.
My beloved John shared how you will know whether or not a person knows Me or does not know Me. He said, "He who loves not knows not God; for God is love (1 John 1:8)."
I exhort you to have keen discernment to know whether or not a person is born again. The person who is born of God loves not only My Father, but also loves Me, and loves others.
1 JOHN 1:6-8
There is much in My word about chastening. Good parents will chasten their children. You chasten others when you correct them or rebuke them. You chasten your children when they misbehave.
You are one of My children, and there will be times when I chasten you. I will correct you or My Holy Spirit will convict you whenever you are not obeying My Word.
My word was given to you for instruction, reproof and correction. This is why it is necessary for you abide in My Word so that you will not ever veer off the path of righteousness that I have prepared for you.
2 TIMOTHY 3:16
It is harvest time. Pray for laborers for the harvest. Some laborers will plant and others will water, but I am the LORD of the harvest, and I am the one who gives the increase.
Pray for the soil of the hearts of people to be fertile and ready to receive. The kingdom of God is what I preached when I was on earth, and it is what everyone is looking for now.
The kingdom of God is righteousness (right standing with God), peace ( a peace that only I can give) and joy ( a joy that only My Holy Spirit can give). To enter this kingdom, you must receive Me as your King.
1 CORINTHIANS 3:7: ROMANS 14:17
I want you to daily offer the members of your body to be used as instruments of My righteousness, joy, peace and love.
I created the members of your body when you were in your mother's womb, and I knew you before the world began.
I created you to reveal My glory (My presence) to all those you meet in life. I have promised that just as truly as I live, all the earth will one day be filled with My glory. Until that day, reveal My glory to people.
ROMANS 6:13
There are so many wars going on in your world right not and the leaders of many countries are seeking what direction to take as they make decisions that will affect the world.
You must remember that you are not of this world, but you are in this world. You now live in the Kingdom of God.
There is only one direction that I want you to take as a member of My kingdom. Paul prayed this prayer: "And the LORD direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ."
2 THESSALONIANS 3:5
Search engines are a part of your present technical culture. With the invention of the computer, you can now search for anything you have questions about and quickly find the answers.
There is a search that I want all people to do. That search is to search for Me. I have promised that if you search for Me with all your heart, you will find Me.
If you will seek Me, you will find Me. If you will search for me with all your heart. Than I will be found by you. Pray for many who you know to begin to search for Me as the harvest time is now.
JEREMIAH 29:11-14
Just before the women arrived at the tomb where I was placed after My crucifixion, there was a great earthquake, and an angel descended from heaven and rolled the stone away. He then sat upon the stone.
The angel told the women to not be afraid, but to go and tell the disciples that I was risen. I rose on the day of first fruits which happens the day after the last day of Feast of Unleavened Bread.
I do not want you to ever be fearful to go and tell people that I am a living Savior who can redeem those who are bound by strongholds. I can roll those strongholds away and resurrection life can come to them.
MATTHEW 28:1-8
Today you just celebrated My resurrection. You celebrate this every year, but I long for peoples of all nations to celebrate that miraculous day when I was the first fruit of all those who will believe in Me.
Except a seed is buried in the ground, it cannot spring forth and bear fruit. I was buried after I was crucified to redeem mankind from the grips of sin.
I was the perfect sacrifice that made it possible for you to know My heavenly Father as your father (your Abba) also. I exchanged your unrighteous sin for My righteousness. Spread this good news everywhere.
MATTHEW 28:6
There are rulers of darkness in the physical realm and also the spiritual realm. You have experienced in these past few years much darkness in the world.
My light is able to penetrate all darkness. You are the light of the world, and I have given you all authority to penetrate all darkness. You can do this by using the keys to the kingdom to bind and to loose.
Today you can bind the spirits of darkness and blindness and release My light (the light of My Holy Spirit) to unveil every dark spot of sin and strongholds in the hearts of those you know. and love.
EPHESIANS 6:12
This Sunday you will celebrate the day I was resurrected from the dead. I was raised from the dead on the day of "First Fruits." This year of 2025 both celebrations are on the very same day.
You and all My beloved are the firstfruits of the Spirit and you are eagerly awaiting the resurrection of your body when I return.
Rejoice this Sunday and celebrate the fact that when I died, you died. When I was raised, you were raised to newness of life. When I ascended, you ascended and you are now seated on My right hand in the Spirit.
ROMANS 8:23
I know that you often pray for your family members to arrive "safe and sound" after they travel to another location. You are always relieved when you hear that they arrived safely.
Did you know that the expression "Safe and Sound" is in one of the passages of My Word? The father of the prodigal son killed the fatted calf to celebrate that his son returned home "safe and sound."
Pray for all the prodigals to return to Me. Many have walked away from Me. I love them and I want them to arrive at My Father's house "safe and sound." Pray they will experience My redeeming power.
LUKE 15:27
When I spent My last Passover with My disciples, I lifted up the cup of wine at the end of our dinner. It was the cup of Redemption that I held up to them.
When I held the cup up, I told them that it represented My blood of the New Covenant that was shed for many for the remission of their sins. They did not understand at that time what I meant.
My blood had to be shed to redeem the world of sin. Those who will believe in Me and My sacrifice and resurrection will drink the fruit of the vine with Me at the marriage supper of the Lamb.
MATTHEW 26:28
My servant Paul knew the secret to living a fruitful life in My Kingdom on earth. He wrote that he had not apprehended all that I wanted him to accomplish, but he did not look behind at those things.
He went on to say: "forgetting whose things that are behind, and reaching forth to those things that are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Paul did not dwell on the past. Instead, he kept moving forward to complete his high calling in Me. Paul did complete those works I planned for him, and you will also as you keep moving forward in My power.
PHILIPPIANS 3:13-14
My servant wrote that we are not fighting a fleshly war. We are fighting a war with principalities, powers, against rulers of darkness of this world, and against spiritual wickedness in high places.
You do have a battle daily with your own flesh. Since Adam and Eve disobeyed My Father in the Garden of Eden, the prince of this world was able to cause fleshly lusts to be formed in every human being.
Everyone born was born in sin and that is why you have to be born again in order to win the battle you have with your own lusts (the lust of the flesh, the eye, and the pride of life).
ROMANS 8:38; 1 JOHN 2:15-17
It is hard for you to find a place when you are out in the market place where there is not a lot of noise. You hear so many conversations that include words that you were taught never to speak.
James wrote about how powerful the tongue is. He said the tongue was like a destroying fire, the rudder of a ship, bits in a horses mouth because those things are hard to tame, and so is your tongue.
Words are containers that can deliver strife, peace, or love. Your tongue is the most powerful weapon Satan can use to hurt others. I have prepared a pavilion where you can hide from the strife of tongues.
JAMES 3: PSALM 31:20
Paul wrote the church at Corinth that it was unwise to compare themselves with others. Each person is unique, and those who have surrendered their lives to Me have different assignments.
Those assignments are written in your Book of Life. Your goal should be to fulfill all the assignments that are written in your Book of Life. My Holy Spirit will lead you to your next assignment.
Pray every day that My Holy Spirit will help you finish your assignments for that day. When this is your focus, your focus will be on Me and My work in you. You then will not compare yourself with others.
2 CORINTHIANS 10:12
My beloved Paul wrote two letters to Timothy. Paul felt that I would return soon, and Paul warned Timothy that many would leave the faith and believe in doctrines of devils just before I returned.
You are today experiencing what Paul warned Timothy about. I clearly told My disciples that the end would not come until the gospel of the kingdom was preached throughout the world.
Pray for a great harvest, and be alert to share about My kingdom with others. Many are looking for answers. My gospel is good news because when you are in My Kingdom, you will have peace and joy.
ROMANS 14:17
I created you to bring forth much fruit. I told My disciples that they did not choose Me, but I chose them and ordained them to go and bring forth lasting fruit that would remain always.
Even before the world began, I wrote about the fruit you would bring forth in your lifetime. When you see Me face to face, you will see all the fruit you have brought forth.
I pray for all believers to bring forth much fruit for My kingdom on earth. Join Me in that intercession, and pray for your family, your church, and your nation to bring forth much fruit for My kingdom.
JOHN 15:16
My beloved Peter learned so much from My teachings. He came to understand all of those teachings after I sent the Promise of My Father upon Him at Pentecost.
Peter had already received My Spirit within him when I breathed My Spirit into all My disciples. This was their born again experience
At Pentecost My Spirit anointed Peter to teach. He taught that believers can be partakers of the My divine nature through the promises of God. Meditate and memorize these promises daily.
JOHN 20:22; 2 PETER 1:4
In the last letter that Paul wrote Timothy, he said that he was ready to be offered, and that the time of his departure was at hand. I also knew when the time of my departure was at hand.
When I rode into Jerusalem, I knew that I would soon be crucified. I was able to face dying for the sins of the world because I knew the joy that would come at My resurrection.
As I took My last breath, I prayed, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." Pray for those who do not know how their sins can be forgiven. Pray for a great harvest time of souls.
2 TIMOTHY 4:6; LUKE 15:7
When I walked on earth I healed several lepers. A leper came to Me and worshipped Me, saying LORD, if You will, You can make me clean.
When I put forth my hand and touched him, I said "I will; be clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
I am still stretching forth My hand to those who need cleansing in their bodies, souls and spirits. Pray for those who are bound by unclean spirits. Bind those unclean spirits and loose My healing to them.
MATTHEW 8:2-3
I am both just and merciful. The psalmist wrote: "Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face (Psalm 89:14)."
Solomon wrote: "To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. There are three things that I require of you and they are that you do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with Me.
Pray for those in government in your country, counties, and cities and in nations worldwide to do justly. Pray for them to humble themselves and ask for My wisdom. Pray that they will come to know Me.
PSALM 89:14; MICAH 6:8
Just after Pentecost, My servant Peter spoke to all those who were gathered from every nation. He gave them a message that had a great impact upon the crowds. Three thousand people were saved.
He told them that it was not too late for them to repent and be converted. He promised that if they accepted Jesus as their savior and redeemer, that His presence would bring them times of refreshing.
This is the message I want you to share with others. So many have lost hope because they are trying to find hope in the world. Refreshing times of hope can only be found in My presence.
ACTS 3:19
You often see the sign, "Do not enter." I desire that all know how to enter My kingdom. I told Nicodemus that unless he became as a little child and was born again that he could not enter My kingdom.
I told the multitudes that followed me that they must enter in the straight gate. I told them that I could help them enter that straight gate.
There are so many in your culture today who do not know how to even find the straight gate or how they can enter My kingdom. Pray for opportunities daily to share how they can enter into My kingdom.
JOHN 3:5; MATTHEW 7:13-14
When Satan tempted Me, he said, "If You are the Son of God, command these stones to be made into bread." I answered, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God."
My Word is your spiritual food. Yet, so many now in this generation do not partake of this spiritual bread. I am the living Word of God and I am the bread of life. Those who believe in Me shall never hunger.
Tomorrow when you break bread with your family, think of Me. I have the power to fill all the empty places in your life, and I can fulfill your hunger for peace, joy, and love.
MATTHEW 4:3-4; JOHN 6:35
My servant Paul exhorted believers in Me not to be anxious about anything. Instead, he told them to pray about everything
He told them to make their requests known to Me by prayer and supplication. Supplication means loud crying. Paul was urging believers to cry out to Me whenever they needed help.
My psalmist David wrote Psalm 107 that demonstrates how I will answer your prayers when you cry out to me for deliverance. Read this psalm sometime today and see how I always hear your cries for help.
PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7; PSALM 107
I went through many cities and villages in Israel, but I knew that my journey would end in Jerusalem where I was crucified and later resurrected.
I was willing to go to Jerusalem to endure the cross for the joy that was set before Me. I knew that My journey did not end when I was crucified nor did it end when I was resurrected.
Just before I ascended into heaven, I told My disciples that I would return in the same way that I left. I look forward to the journey to receive My bride. On that day you will journey with Me into eternity.
HEBREWS 12:2 (I will resume the blog in one week)
No man has ever seen My Father, but I came to declare My Father on earth. I am God in the flesh and everything that I said on earth came from My Father.
I only said what My Father gave Me to say and I only did what I saw My Father do. I provided the voice on earth that declared all that My Father wanted people on earth to hear.
The teachings I gave were the very words of My Father. When you read My Word, you are reading what My Father wants you to know. I am still speaking to you through My Word and through the Holy Spirit.
JOHN 1:18
I have heard you and others exclaim, "LORD, give me strength! Many times you do feel weak. You may feel weak emotionally or physically.
As you grow older, you do not have the strength that you used to. However, when you have surrendered your life to Me, I have promised to give you strength.
My joy is your strength. You can be strengthened by the might of My Spirit Who dwells in your inner man. My Spirit has glorious power. Draw on that power today and be strengthened.
EPHESIANS 3:16; COLOSSIANS 1:11
I always want to do exceedingly abundantly more than you could ever think or ask. This is My desire, so when you pray, I want you to pray believing. I cannot wait to answer your prayers.
I want you to ask big with faith believing and receiving with thanksgiving when you pray. It is My great privilege to intercede for you continually.
Do not ever give up asking. I delight to hear Your requests and I have paved a pathway of promises for you to receive. I always keep My promises.
EPHESIANS 3:20-21; MATTHEW 7:7
I was in Jerusalem for the Feast of Dedication. It was winter. I walked into the temple in Solomon's porch. The Jews in the temple asked Me to tell them plainly if I was the Christ.
I told them that I had already told them, but they did not believe Me nor did they believe the works that I did. They were in unbelief because they were not My sheep.
There are many who need to come into My sheepfold during this harvest time. Bind the spirit of darkness and blindness and unbelief, and pray that the unbelieving will have ears to hear My voice.
JOHN 10:27
Elijah felt like there was no one left but him when he was fleeing from Jezebel. God told Elijah that there were 7,000 who had not bowed their knee to Baal.
The day will come when every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that I am LORD. Until that time, there will always be a faithful remnant that will not give themselves to worship idols.
Be encouraged today as you see the turn around in your nation. This has happened because of the faithful remnant that has interceded for your country. Keep praying that this remnant will grow.
ROMANS 11:4; PHILIPPIANS 2:10
I came to earth for many reasons. I came to be the perfect sacrifice, died on the cross, was resurrected to reconcile those who would believe in Me with My Father.
I made it possible for those who would believe in Me to be forgiven of all of their sins (past, present, and future). My Father's plan of redemption existed even before the world was created.
Another reason I came to earth was to reveal Who My Father is. I am God in the flesh and I am the express image of My Father. I told My disciples that if they had seen Me, they had also seen My Father.
HEBREWS 1:3; JOHN 14:5-10
It was My joy to go to Jerusalem to fulfill the plan My Father had for Me. I knew that I had to bear the sins of the world in My own body to provide a way for mankind to stand faultless before My Father.
No one killed Me when I was crucified. I offered Myself as the perfect sacrifice to pave the way for mankind's sins to be forgiven and thereby have a relationship with My Father because of My shed blood.
It will be My joy to present you faultless before My Father's throne. You will be able to behold His glory and live eternally with Me in My Father's house. Meditate on these truths every day.
JUDE 1:24-25
It is so important that My beloved learn how to humble themselves before Me. I have promised to heal your land if those who believe in Me will humble themselves and turn from their wicked ways.
Confession and repentance from your own personal sins and the sins of your nation is a way to humble yourself before Me. It is My Holy Spirit that will convict you of sin. Repentance is a change of heart.
Another way to humble yourself before Me is to cast every care upon Me because I care for you. When you hold on to your cares, you are trusting in yourself rather than Me. Give Your cares to Me today.
2 CHRONICLES 7:14; 1 PETER 5:7
Jeremiah wrote: "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."
This is a promise that I fulfilled when I died on the cross and was resurrected. On the day that I forgave your sins, I exchanged your self righteousness for My pure righteousness.
Paul wrote about this expected end. He said: "But now being made free from sin, and become servants of God, you have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
JEREMIAH 29:11; ROMANS 6:22
When I died on the cross and was resurrected I spoiled principalities and powers, and I made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
I have given you and all those who believe that My victory was complete full authority to bind those demonic enemies that are now illegal on earth. I have given you those keys to My kingdom.
The last enemy to be destroyed is death. When all enemies have been put under My feet, then I will give the kingdom to My Father and I will be under My Father so that God may be all in all.
1 CORINTHIANS 15:24-28
Solomon wrote: "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink says he to You; but his heart is not with you.
Most everyone knows that the thinking ability I have created for mankind is in the brain. However, people do think in their hearts. This means that thoughts in the mind can affect the heart.
When people are depressed or oppressed in their minds, their hearts are usually broken or wounded spiritually, not physically. Pray for those who are down-hearted. Pray for My joy to invade their hearts.
PROVERBS 23:7
It was nearing the time when I would be glorified. Many had come to see Me. I told Philip and Andrew and the others that if I were lifted up from the earth that I would draw all men unto Me.
They did not understand that I was sharing the way I would die. When I was lifted up on the cross, I bore the sins of the world in My body and offered forgiveness to all who would believe in Me.
I made it possible for all those who would believe in Me to be reconciled to My Father. I still am drawing people to Me. Pray that many will be drawn to believe in Me during these end times.
JOHN 12:32
Paul wrote many letters while he was in jail in Rome. He exhorted believers in one letter to as much as was possible within them to live peaceably with all men.
I also exhorted people to bless their enemies and to do good to those who persecuted them. This seems to be an impossible task, especially when your enemies are very evil.
Just remember that there is nothing impossible with Me. My Holy Spirit is able to place My love in your heart even toward those who are your enemies. Pray for My Holy Spirit's to help you to love as I love.
ROMANS 12:18, 5:5
So many on earth do not recognize how valuable they are to Me. I died to save them all out of the grip of Satan, and I provided a way for them to be reconciled to My Father.
I shed My blood on the cross to forgive the sins of the whole world. Yet, so many in the world do not even know that truth. This is why I want you to give those you meet this good news.
I said in my word that I even number the hairs on the heads of people all over the world. I said, "But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: you are of more value than many sparrows."
LUKE 12:7
Paul exhorted the new converts in the church at Ephesus not to walk as many of the Gentiles were walking. He said that they were walking in the vanity of their minds. They were proud.
He went on to say that their understanding had been darkened, that they were alienated from God because of their ignorance, and that their hearts were blind.
As you pray for people to be saved,, I want you to pull down the stronghold of pride, and bind the spirit of darkness and blindness. Then lose the convicting power of My Holy Spirit to them.
EPHESIANS 4:17-18
So many in your day are in bondage to many different addictions. I came to heal hearts and to speak liberty to those who are in bondage.
I want you also to speak liberty to those you know who have many addictions in their lives. Your prayers will avail much as you use your weapons of warfare to pull down the strongholds in their lives.
Keep praying. When you pray, pray with supplication with thanksgiving making your requests known to Me. Thank Me always for hearing your prayers for liberty for others. I came to free them.
ROMANS 8:15
My Word has sanctifying power. When you read My Word, My Holy Spirit has the power to wash you so that you feel fresh and clean.
My Holy Spirit can reveal to you those things you need to confess to Me as you read My Word daily. This is why it is so important for you to abide in My Word daily.
Today and every day, allow My Holy Spirit to wash you as you read My Word. He never condemns you. His assignment is to convict you of sin, and He does this when you give Him a chance.
EPHESIANS 5:25-26
Paul wrote the church at Corinth that they should do things decently and in order. When people in the church do not follow those in authority, there is confusion.
The same is true if a family is out of order. I created the husband to be the head of the wife, and the wife is to be submitted to her husband.
Marriage is an example of My church. I am the head of the church. You are My body on earth, and it is only when you look to Me to give you direction and guidance that you, My body on earth, will glorify Me.
1 CORINTHIANS 14:40
My servant Paul had a vision of a man in Macedonia who prayed, saying, "Come over into Macedonia, and help us." Paul responded immediately to that vision and set sail to Macedonia.
Paul's immediate response to the vision opened many doors to Paul for evangelism. They met Lydia who became a believer and invited them to her home. Later Paul saw the man in the vision. He was a jailer.
The jailer feared for his life when I set Paul and Silas free from the jail. The jailer invited them to his home and his whole family was saved. I want you to immediately obey Me as My Spirit leads you daily.
ACTS 16:10-40
Those who are older begin to think about what they will leave to their children. My Father has provided a wonderful inheritance for His children.
Those who believe in Me have the same inheritance that I have. You are joint heirs with Me which means that My Father has provided for you to inherit the whole kingdom of God.
The good news is that you do not have to wait until you go to heaven to claim this inheritance. You can inherit this kingdom right now, and it includes My righteousness, My joy, My peace and My love.
ROMANS 8:17
I came to proclaim liberty to the captives. So many in your culture today have given in to their lusts and have allowed seducing spirits to imprison them with all kinds of addictions and perverseness.
I am able to set every one who has been addicted to drugs, alcohol, prescription drugs, and pornography free. I have this power.
This is good news. Tell those you love that I can set them free if they would just turn to Me and allow My Holy Spirit to give them the strength to be free of those bondages.
ISAIAH 61:1
I have a rest that is prepared for all those who believe in Me. That rest can only be obtained by believing in Me and trusting in Me.
That rest can never be entered into if believers do not cease from their own works and instead, trust Me to work through them each day.
Every morning, I want you to give Me your day and ask My Holy Spirit to lead you and guide you moment by moment. Then have your ears tuned to do those works I have prepared for you that day.
HEBREWS 4:9-10
I know that there are days when your body just does not feel strong. Often the skies are grey during these winter months and during these months people can easily become a little depressed.
The way to fight those down feelings is something that My psalmist David discovered. He knew that if he could just get the joy of his salvation restored, then he would be out of the slump.
David knew that the way to have My joy restored in his soul would be to meditate on Me. He wrote that his meditation of Me was sweet. Meditate on Me during your down times and My joy will strengthen you.
PSALM 104:34
I am able to do exceeding, abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us.
These were the words that Paul wrote the the church at Ephesus. He wanted the church that he planted there to understand the great power that they had within them
That power within them and within us is the Holy Spirit Who gives us the ability to do kingdom work here on earth. Keep asking My Spirit daily to help you finish your assignments while you are still living.
EPHESIANS 3:20
My disciple Paul felt that he had more work to do on earth. He had traveled throughout the region of the Mediterranean and established churches in Greece, Turkey, and finally returned to Rome.
Paul wrote many letters while he was imprisoned in Rome. It was at that time that he wrote the Corinthian Church and he expressed that he sometimes wished to be absent from the body and present with Me.
He had more time, however, to witness to those in Rome while he was imprisoned. He finally was taken to the gallows. That moment brought him immediately into My presence where I greeted him in person.
2 CORINTHIANS 5:8
David exhorted his soul to wait on Me. He knew that his soul (mind, will, and emotions) often went ahead of Me or did not follow the instructions in My Word.
It is the soul or our flesh that always is impatient. We want to see the answers to our prayer right now or very soon.
David knew how to wait upon the Lord. He did not count on his own ability or the ability of others to fulfill his expectations. He wrote: My soul, wait only upon God; for my expectation is from Him.
PSALM 62:5
When you see all the evil in the world that you live in now, you cannot help but ask the question, What happened to being kind and tenderhearted?
The horrible, evil atrocities that are happening worldwide is evidence that you live in a fallen world that is corrupt. The good news is that by My perfect sacrifice, I defeated demonic entities once and for all.
Then, you may ask, why are these demonic demonstrations still evidence. The answer is that so many in My body on earth do not use the keys to the Kingdom which gives them authority to bind and to loose.
MATTHEW 16:19
My Word is a seed that I want you to plant deep in the fertile soil of your heart. If for any reason, you do not understand My Word as you read it, ask My Holy Spirit to give you understanding.
Understanding is the bridge between knowledge and wisdom. When you receive understanding from My Holy Spirit, you will be able to apply what you learn in My Word to your every day life.
I call those who have planted My Word in their hearts "Trees of Righteousness, the planting of the LORD." Keep asking My Spirit to give you understanding of My Word and you will be a fruitful tree.
ISAIAH 61:3
I am able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that you could ask or think. When some people came to me who needed healing, I asked them this question, "Do you believe that I can do this?"
After I asked them if they believed that I could do this, I then said, "Be it done unto you according to your faith.
Paul was glorifying Me when He prayed, "Now unto Him Who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power the works in us." You have My power within you and you can do the same works I did while I was on earth and even greater according to My power within you.
EPHESIANS 3:20
The new commandment that I gave to My disciples was that they love one another as I have loved them. They knew how much I loved them.
So many on earth and even believers have not known how much I love them. I offered My body as the perfect sacrifice to make it possible for those who believe in Me to be free from Satan's grip.
My Father so loved the world that He gave Me to enable you to be forgiven of all of your sins. The only way you can love one another as I have loved you is to be a giver of your time and your life to others.
JOHN 13:34
Life is made of choices. I also make choices. I made the choice to receive you into My family. You have many brothers and sisters in My huge family, so I want you never feel alone.
I had a free will just like you do. My Father gave people free wills so that they could choose to be His child. Thank you for choosing Me to be your Savior and Redeemer, and big brother.
The battle I had in the Garden of Gethsemane was a battle between My human will and My Father's will. I chose to do My Father's will to be crucified in order to forgive you of your sins.
JOSHUA 24:15
When I died on the tree, I exchanged your self-righteousness for My righteousness, and I made it possible to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in His sight.
The righteousness you received through My shed blood is sealed by faith in Me. My enemy will try to steal your faith and your hope in Me, but you must hold fast in faith, believing until the end.
Paul urged those believers to continue in faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel.
COLOSSIANS 1:22-23
Most baby boys are now circumcised after birth in a hospital. My Jewish brothers and sisters have a ceremony to circumcise their baby boys. A rabbi does this delicate procedure in the home of the parents.
The ceremony is call a brit milah (covenant of circumcision). The Pharisees in My day were insisting that Gentiles needed to be circumcised. My servant Peter convinced them that God did not require this.
I require only that hearts be circumcised. This means that those who believe in Me have hearts that are submitted to My Holy Spirit Who is the only One Who has the power to cut away fleshly lusts.
ACTS 11
When you delight yourself in me, I will give you the desires of your heart. Your delight in Me opens the door for Me to plant My very desires for you in your heart.
My desires will be planted deep into your heart and what I plant, I grant. My desire for you is that you will prosper and be in good health as your soul prospers.
My desire for you is that you will finish the work I have ordained for you to complete before you go home to be with Me. Thank Me daily for fulfilling your desires.
PSALM 37:4
When you experience your team winning an important game, you rejoice and probably call your friends to report the victory.
Life is not a game, but My servant Paul wrote about what he was willing to give up in order to win an eternal prize.
He wrote: Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my LORD: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung that I may win Christ (Philippians 3:8)
PHILIPPIANS 3:8
Paul prayed that the eyes of the understanding of believers in Me would be opened. It is My Holy Spirit within you Who will give you the understanding you need as you read My Word.
Once you are born again, My Holy Spirit lives within you and He is the Spirit of truth Who can lead and guide you into all the truths found in My Word.
Understanding is the bridge between knowledge and wisdom. Wisdom is applied knowledge. My Spirit can give you wisdom and understanding, might and counsel, and knowledge and the fear of the LORD.
EPHESIANS 1:17-18
There are many in My body on earth who do not realize how serious it is to defile their bodies through various addictions like alcohol, nicotine, prescription drugs and over-eating.
Paul wrote: "What? know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, Who you have of God, and you are not your own.
He also gave this serious warning: "If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy, for the temple of God is holy, which temple you are." Your body belongs to Jesus. It is not your own.
1 CORINTHIANS 6:19, 3:17
When I walked on earth, I shared the troubles that would come near the end. I said that nation would rise against nation and there would be earthquakes and famine and wars and rumors of wars.
Then I told my disciples not to be troubled when they saw these things occurring because they must happen before the end.
The disciples then asked what would be the sign when all these things would be fulfilled. I shared that the gospel I was preaching must first be published to all nations." Pray that all My beloved will seize every opportunity to share My gospel with others. You can start in your neighborhood.
MARK 13:10
Many believers say they want to follow me every day. If you try to follow Me, you will not be able to keep up with Me.
I never turn My back on you. My face is ever before you like a father who is teaching his child to take the first steps. The father kneels to be eye level with the child and he coaxes the child to come to him.
This is the picture I want you to have as you seek My face daily. I am eye level with you and My arms are outstretched to catch you if you start to fall. Keep your eyes focused on Me and you will not fall.
PSALM 17:15
I know how you pray for yourself to be more like Me. This is the prayer of many of my beloved. In fact, they pray this prayer every day.
My disciple Peter became more and more like Me as he studied and obeyed My Word. Peter also asked for My Holy Spirit to guide and direct him every day. Peter obeyed My Word and My Spirit.
Peter gave the secret of how My beloved can partake of My divine nature. He said: "Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these you might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust."
2 PETER 1:4
Paul wrote that he and the the disciples who were with him were troubled on every side. I know that you sometimes are overwhelmed by all the darkness in the world. My light can penetrate that darkness.
There will always be trouble. I told My disciples that in the world they would have tribulation. Then I assured them that they could still be of good cheer because I had overcome the world.
You and all those who have surrendered their lives to Me are in the world, but not of the world. When I died on the cross and was resurrected, I won the victory over the god of this world who is the devil.
2 CORINTHIANS 4:8
My disciple Peter grew both in his faith and in all things that pertain to life and godliness because he was diligent to study My Word.
Peter knew that it was the divine power of My Holy Spirit within in him and the anointing of My Holy Spirit upon him that helped him develop into a mighty man of God.
Peter knew that in order to escape the corruption in this world that he needed to partake of My divine nature by believing and receiving the promises in My Word. You have My divine nature within you also.
2 PETER 1:2-4
I allowed My disciples to be entrusted to carry the gospel of the kingdom of God to the whole world. They began in Jerusalem and then went to Samaria and finally to the uttermost parts of the world.
There are still places on earth where they have never heard the gospel. I preached the gospel of the kingdom of God which was simply, "Repent and be reconciled to God."
Now, you can share with others the good news that I have finished the work of reconciliation that God sent me to do. Now, the message of the gospel is repent of your sins and believe that I am their Savior.
1 THESSALONIANS 2:4
Deer have very strong hind feet. Just after David was delivered out of the hands of his enemies and Saul, he wrote this: "He makes my feet like hinds feet and sets me upon my high places (Psalm 22:34).
David declared in this psalm that I gave him strength and power, and that I made his way perfect. David trusted Me to deliver him, and he shared one testimony after another when I did deliver him.
I want you always to trust Me to deliver you. You may have doubts when you are experiencing difficult circumstances, but I will walk with you through those circumstances and set you on a high place.
PSALM 22
David was a man after My heart because he was humble enough to receive the corrective prophecy of Naaman who told him a parable that convicted David's heart.
David repented of his sin of murder and adultery, and then he cried out to Me and wrote a prayer that I will always answer. David had a contrite heart, and I do not despise a contrite heart.
David wrote: "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. David knew that only I had the power to cleanse him and give him a new heart. Pray to always have a contrite heart.
PSALM 51:10
I am always speaking, but so few take time to listen to Me. A big part of prayer is listening. Prayer truly is a two way conversation.
So many who are suffering in this world need someone to listen to them. Part of sharing our burdens with one another is being willing to listen to what is on the hearts of others.
I want to challenge you this week and in the following days to take time in your prayer time to listen for My voice. I want to speak to you heart to heart and spirit to spirit. Take time everyday to hear My voice.
JOHN 10:4
I told Peter to feed My sheep. Many events in Peter's life had to do with food. Peter saw the miracle of the food that was provided after I blessed it and fed 4,000 and also 5,000.
I prepared a breakfast for My disciples after My resurrection. I told Peter then to feed My sheep and My lambs..
Later Peter wrote: "Feed the flock of God that is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly, not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind." I exhort you to be diligent to feed yourself and others My Word which is your spiritual food.
1 PETER 5:2
"Look not every man to his own things, but every man also on the things of others (Philippians 2:4)." It is easy in your life to be so consumed with the things in your own life that you forget to reach out to others.
The things in your life can be the circumstances you are experiencing or even the material things that you have to care for. The more things you have, the more you have to spend time taking care of them.
I spent My life on earth taking care of the things that were a concern to those I met along my journey around the Galilee. Today and every day, I challenge you to look for ways that you can help others.
PHILIPPIANS 2:4
The psalmist prayed this prayer: "Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength fails (Psalm 71:9). As you age, you do begin to lose strength, but My joy can strengthen you.
The one who wrote this Psalm knew Me well and he knew that I would never abandon him even in his old age. The author of this psalm wanted to live many more days so that he could praise Me more and more.
He wanted to spread the news of My righteousness and salvation. He wanted to live as long as he could so that he could continually share the wondrous works that I had done in his life. Let this be your prayer.
PSALM 71
Many of My beloved want to have the assurance that I will be with them always. My Word promises that I will be with you always. I promised the disciples before I left them that I would be with them always.
Isaiah gives this assurance also. He wrote these words: "And the work of righteousness shall be peace, and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance forever (Isaiah 32:17).
As you are faithful to abide in My Word and seek to walk in My paths of righteousness daily, you will receive the assurance you need daily to have confident faith in My presence with you always..
ISAIAH 32:17
People will disappointment you and many times, you may be disappointed in yourself, but I will never disappoint you.
The disappointments you face in life often occur because you missed out on your appointments with Me. When you abide in Me, My Word, and My love, I will always make My appointments with you.
You are able to experience My presence with you every day when you make your appointments with Me. This means that you will spend times thanking, praising and worshipping Me and reading My Word.
PSALM 16:11
When you have had to say goodbye to many of your loved ones on earth, you can be assured that you will see them again.
Paul wrote this: "Knowing that He Who raised up the LORD Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you (2 Corinthians 4:14)."
Paul had no doubt that the day would come that he would be raised up to see Me and all his loved ones who had entered heaven before him. The day will come when you will be with those you love forever.
2 CORINTHIANS 4:14
Paul wrote this: "Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation, even so by the righteousness of One the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life (Romans 5:18)."
You and all those who believe in Me are justified by My righteousness. You and all My beloved will be able to stand before My Father faultless because of My shed blood.
When I died, I forgave all your sins past, present, and future. Your sins have not only been covered by My blood, but because I became the perfect sacrifice, your sins are removed. Praise Me today for exchanging your filthy rags of sin for My pure, white sinless righteousness.
ROMANS 5:18
have sealed you and every believer by My Spirit. I have also anointed you and established you by My Spirit.
You have the earnest of My Holy Spirit within your heart. I call all of My beloved to never doubt their salvation that has been sealed. My keeping power is magnificent.
You can be assured that I will always be with you and that My Holy Spirit will guide and direct you throughout your lifetime. This should give you the confidence you need to be faithful to Me.
2 CORINTHIANS 1:22
My servant Paul prayed an anointed prayer for all My beloved followers. He prayed that My Father might give unto every believer the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him.
He prayed that all believers might be enlightened to know what the hope of their calling is. and also what riches are available to them because of their inheritance.
He prayed that all believers would understand the exceeding greatness of God's mighty power when I was raised from the dead.. Give thanks today that the same resurrection power dwells in you by My Spirit.
EPHESIANS 1:17-19
Children are truly a heritage from Me, and the fruit of the womb is a mother's reward. Happy are parents who honor them and who also honor Me.
Pray for the many in this generation who have rebelled against Me and their parents. Lift their hearts up to Me because only I can heal the wounds in many of their hearts.
I came to heal the broken-hearted and to set the captives free. Many who have rebelled are bound now by various addictions. Pray that they will turn to Me and receive the power of My Spirit to overcome these strongholds.
PSALM 127
When I walked on earth, people were amazed that I spoke with authority and was able to cast out demons. I gave My disciples the same authority.
After My resurrection I breathed into My disciples My Spirit. They then had My very Holy Spirit within them.
At Pentecost, My disciples had the Holy Spirit come upon them and baptize them. It was then that they went forth with the power of My Spirit to fulfill My work on earth. I have given you the same authority.
LUKE 4:36: JOHN 20:22; ACTS 2:1-4
I am able to restore what has been lost. My prophet Joel spoke these words: "And I will restore to you the years that the locust have eaten, the cankerworm and the caterpillar, and the palmer worm."
Difficult circumstances in our lives are like swarming locusts that come one after another to overwhelm and discourage us. When this happens in our lives, we have to remember where we are seated.
We are seated in heaven next to Jesus Christ. Jesus is over all circumstances and we also can be victorious over circumstances when we keep our focus on Jesus Who has overcome the world.
JOEL 2:25
My disciple were born again after I was resurrected. Shortly after my disciples knew I was resurrected, I met with them. Until that time the Holy Spirit was upon My disciples, but not in them.
At that meeting, I breathed My very breath into each of them, and I said, "Receive you the Holy Spirit." The Holy Spirit was upon Moses, Joshua, and David and many others in the Old Covenant.
At Pentecost the 120 disciples that were gathered in the upper room were baptized in the Holy Spirit. My Holy Spirit then empowered them to be witnesses to the world.
JOHN 10;22; ACTS 2:3-4
The author of Hebrews exhorted those who read his letter to consider one another and to encourage those who believe on Me to love one another and to do the good works I have planned for them to do each day.
The best way I have given you to help others to love one another as I have loved them is to pray for them to be quick to forgive one another. It is impossible to sincerely love a person if you have not forgiven them.
Also pray for ways that you can help others to accomplish the works I have designed for them to do.
HEBREWS 10:24
I was with God in the beginning of the earth. My beloved John wrote, "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God. And the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God (John 1:1-2)."
The Holy Spirit also was in the beginning. Moses wrote: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters (Genesis 1:1-2)."
I was the living Word that spoke and all things were created by Me, for Me and through Me. At the beginning of each day in this new year, I invite you to worship Me in Spirit and in truth.
COLOSSIANS 1:18, 2:9
Paul urged the Corinthian church to be joined together with the same mind and to speak the same thing. He exhorted them to have no divisions among them.
As you enter this new year, I desire that all my beloved meet often to intercede for their nation and the nations around the world. As they are faithful to humble themselves and pray, I will hear their prayers.
Pray that there will be no divisions in My body on earth and that they will begin to pray in agreement for the harvest time I have promised to manifest in every nation.
1 CORINTHIANS 1:10
Moses wrote only one Psalm, and it is Psalm 90. Psalm 90 was a prayer that all My beloved should pray daily.
He wrote: "And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish the work of our hands upon us, yes, the work of our hands establish it (Psalm 90:17).
I desire that you will daily commit your works to Me so that I can establish your thoughts. When you do this, I will be able to do My works through you. Your works will then make My presence known on earth.
PSALM 90:17; PROVERBS 16:3
This is the season in your country when many people will experience snowy weather. Mt. Hermon in Israel is covered with snow and when warm weather begins water flows to the fields below.
Isaiah wrote that as rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and returns not, but instead waters the earth so that the earth can bring forth and bud, so My Word does not return to Me.
My Word always accomplishes what I please, and it will always prosper in the thing I send it out to do. Make it your goal in this year to read portions of My Word daily. You will then bear much fruit.
ISAIAH 55:10-11
What you treasure in life is what will reveal the idols or strongholds that you may have in life. I pray that you and everyone reading this will treasure Me and My kingdom more than anything else in this world.
Make it your goal every day to seek Me first and to be a good Ambassador in My kingdom on earth. You do this by making My presence known to others by what you say and what you do.
Ask My Holy Spirit daily to help you glorify Me on earth because this it your purpose on earth and the purpose of every Ambassador I have on earth.
2 CORINTHIANS 5:20
The mind is the where you encounter battles every day. My enemy cannot read your mind, but he can put thoughts in your mind.
When thoughts of temptation, doubt, and fear come, remind the enemy that you have My Mind. Those who believe in Me and are born again have My mind within them.
My God has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind. The sound mind that you have is My mind.
2 TIMOTHY 1:7
Many people are aware that we are living in the last days. However, they do not understand that I will come as a thief in the night.
I shared what would be happening in the end times, and I did say when they saw these things happening, they were to look up because their redemption was drawing near.
I will come at an hour when you least expect it. What would you do if you knew it was your last day to live? The answer to this question will shine a light on what is important in your life.
MATTHEW 24
The only way that you can depart from Me is that you stop believing in Me. I will never stop believing in you. Keep your heart with all diligence because out of it are all the issues of life.
My enemy will send you all kinds of doubtful thoughts. When this happens, I want you to recall all that I have done in your life and how I have fulfilled so many of My promises in your life.
Focus on Me and begin to praise Me out loud whenever doubtful thoughts come. Praise is the devil's death knell and those doubtful thoughts will leave when you praise Me.
HEBREWS 3:12
At the end of time, all nations will be gathered before Me, and I will separate the sheep from the goats. The sheep will be on the left hand and the goats on the right.
I will judge them according to the mercies they have shown to My brethren. My brethren are My Jewish people. You see the world now and how so many are coming against My brethren.
This is a sign of the end times. Pray for My brethren (the Jews) in these last days because they will face much persecution as you see what is happening in Israel. All those who love My brethren will also be persecuted.
MATTHEW 25:32-46
