ALLOW

 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

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

CREATE

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

LISTEN

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

FEED

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

"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

AGE

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

ASSURANCE

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

DISAPPOINTMENTS

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

PRESENT

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

OFFENCE

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

SEALED

  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

MIGHTY

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

HERITAGE

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

AUTHORITY

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

RESTORE

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  

BREATH

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

CONSIDER

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

BEGINNIING

 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

JOINED

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 

ESTABLISH

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

SNOW

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

AMBASSADOR

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

MIND

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 

 

AWARE

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

DEPART

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

GATHERED

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
