FEELINGS

I came to earth to identify with mankind.  I am God in flesh form. I experienced during My short time on earth every feeling you have ever experienced. However, I was without sin.

I knew what it was like to cry out to be fed when I was an infant.  Later when I was despised and rejected by many, I felt the loneliness that rejection causes.

I was touched with the feelings of your infirmities. I can now make perfect intercession for you as I pray for you with My Father in heaven.  Give whatever feelings you have to Me, and I will minister to you.

HEBREWS 4:15

MANGER

Where I was born was all designed by My Father Who sent Me to earth to redeem the world from sin.  He knew that the manger was a feeding trough for the animals in the cave where I was born.

He knew that I was the living Word Who would present His glory to earth, and Who would feed many on earth with the words He wanted Me to speak.

 Swaddling clothes were used to wrap the lambs who would be sacrificed. It was My blood that provided the perfect sacrifice to save the world.

LUKE 2:7

HIDING

My servant David had many hiding places.  He had to flee many enemies.  He hid in caves and even hid in enemy territory.

David knew, however, that the only secure hiding place he had was in Me.  He wrote: "You are My hiding place and my shield: I hope in Your Word."

It was David's constant abiding in My Word that gave him hope and faith.  He knew that I would protect him.  He trusted not in his own armor, but in Me.  I am the full armor of God.  Find safety in Me today.

PSALM 119:114

BEHIND

My servant Paul prayed for all believers to not come behind in any gift; as they wait for My coming.  This is My desire not only for you, but also for all of My body on earth.

This is the gift giving season for people throughout the world as they remember the gift My heavenly Father gave when He sent Me as a little babe to redeem the world from sin.

As you are wrapping your gifts for others this season, pray that My Holy Spirit will work through the spiritual gifts I have given to you.  You will have many opportunities to do this in this coming year.

1 CORINTHIANS 1:7

PERFECT

My Father made every provision for Me to be the perfect sacrifice.  It was almost sundown in Jerusalem and Shabbat would begin at sundown, so Mary and others hurriedly prepared My body for burial.

They did not have time to finish placing the frankincense and myrrh on My body so on the first day of the week after the Sabbath My mother and Mary came to the tomb to finish preparing My Body.

Frankincense was not laid on My body because I had already risen from the dead. If frankincense had been laid on My body, I would not have been the perfect sin sacrifice.  Frankincense was never laid on a sin offering (See Leviticus 5:11).

MATTHEW 28:1-7

SNOW

The snow season has started for much of your nation.  My word has several passages about snow. One of those passages shares how important snow is for a future harvest.  

Isaiah 55:10: "For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and does not go back to heaven, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater."

It is harvest time and many believe that this harvest is the last great harvest of souls before I return.  Pray for a great harvest in every nation.  Pray for the seed of My Word to bud and produce fruit in many hearts.

ISAIAH 55:10

WILL

 I created you with a free will so that you could choose to love Me.  If you did not have a free will, you would be like robots who do My will without choice.

This is why Adam and Eve gave in to Satan's temptation.  They chose to disobey Me. The three lusts (the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, the lust of the pride of life were formed in their souls. 

Adam and Eve became worldly minded.  They wanted to please themselves instead of Me.  Daily surrender your will to Me. When  you do this, My Spirit will help you do what pleases Me.

PHILIPPIANS 2:13

STARS

The next time you look at the sky on a night when there are no lights from a city to compete with the brightness of the stars, think about what my psalmist David wrote about the stars.

David must have been looking at such a night sky when he wrote that I count the number of stars and I call them by their name.

What David wrote reveals My greatness. I desire for you and all My beloved to meditate on My greatness daily.  When you do this, you will always have faith to believe that nothing is impossible for Me.

PSALM 147:4

FIXED

 My psalmist David had enemies all around him constantly. My small nation Israel also has many enemies surrounding it.

When you daily check to see what is happening in Israel, you could become very discouraged.  Their enemies do not plan to quit coming against Israel until there is no more Israel.

David said that the man who fears the LORD will not be afraid of evil tidings because his heart is fixed, trusting the LORD. David feared the LORD. Trust in the LORD during these fearful times.

PSALM 112:7

LAWFUL

When I was in the home of one of the Pharisees on a Sabbath day, the Pharisees watched Me carefully to see if I would heal a man with palsy on the Sabbath.

I asked them if it was lawful to heal on the Sabbath.  They were silent.  Then I asked them if they would pull an oxen out of a pit on the Sabbath.  Again, they were silent.

I did not come to destroy the law, but to fulfill it.  Now that you believe in Me, you are made righteous not by the works of the law, but by faith in My redeeming power through My shed blood. 

LUKE 14:1-6; ROMANS 3:19-24

SLEEP

It is my joy to give My beloved sleep.  When I created the world, I rested on the 7th day.  My Jewish brothers and sisters still celebrate a rest called Shabbat on the 7th day of the week.

This day of rest is a pattern that I desired for all who I created to enjoy.  I also created people to have a time of sleep when  their bodies could be restored.

I want you to believe and receive what David wrote about his sleep pattern. He wrote: "I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for You LORD, only make me dwell in safety (Psalm 4:8)."

PSALM 4:8

FINISHER

I am the author and finisher of your faith.  I brought you into this world, and you have a book of life that records your life.

One day that book will be read to you.  There is another book also that will be read to you in heaven.  It is the book of remembrance that records every time you speak about Me or even think about Me.

These are the books that are being written daily by Me as you go through life.  I do not miss any moments.  I joyfully record those moments you spend with Me. Spend more time with Me daily.

HEBREWS 12:2; MALACHI 3:16

SHORT

So many are talking about My return to earth.  This was the subject of My disciples.  They wanted to know what would be the sign of My coming.

I told them that the end would not come until the gospel of My kingdom was preached throughout the world.  This is happening now through technology and transportation.  The world has grown smaller.

You are now experiencing a great harvest of souls.  Paul wrote of how that I would finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness; because a short work will I make upon the earth.  I am doing this now.

ROMANS 9:28

DETERMINED

Even before the foundation of the earth, My Father determined everything that is happening before, now, and in the future.

My Father has determined appointed times to celebrate His feasts.  There are three feasts that have been celebrated by believers in the past, in the present, and in the future after I return to Earth.

The three eternal feasts are the Feast of Passover that honors Me, the Feast of Pentecost that honors My Holy Spirit, and the Feast of Tabernacles that honors My Father.  We are the three in ONE.

LEVITICUS 23

GATES

When I was on the Mount of Olives, I always entered Jerusalem through what was called "the Mercy Gate." I entered it for the last time just before I was crucified, but I will enter it again.

When I return to earth I will stand on the Mt. of Olives and that mountain will split in half. The earth will shake, and I will walk once again through the gate that was closed by the Turks in 1541.

I will pass through the Eastern Gate once again to set My Kingdom up in Jerusalem. Look forward to this time that Ezekiel prophesied that I will return in glory to the earth.

EZELIEL 43:2

DELIVER

When you cry out to Me, I have promised to save and deliver you.  Psalm 107 lists many situations that you may experience in life that will cause you to cry out to Me.

The children of Israel were wandering in the wilderness in a desolate way when they cried out to Me.  They were thirsty and hungry and I delivered them and gave the water to drink and food to eat.

Throughout My Word people cried out to Me when they were in trouble, and I saved them in their distresses.  Today cry out to Me for those who are suffering all over the world. I will hear your cry.

PSALM 107

MOUTH

I created the mouth to be the part of the body that will form words and speak words that express My love to others.

Other animals have mouths, but they cannot speak words.  I am the living Word and by Me, for Me, and through Me was every thing created that is created.

I want you to use your mouth to speak the words that you read in My Word and that I speak to you through My Spirit within you.  When you do this, you will have a ministering mouth that can bless many.

COLOSSIANS 1:16

FAIL

 I prayed that Peter's faith would not fail him. Stan's plan was to sift him as wheat when he was tempted.

My body on earth is going through a great sifting.  I am praying that you and those I love will not allow their faith to fail because they fear when they see the things coming on earth.

Keep your focus on Me and faithfully spend time with Me in prayer and reading My Word, and you will fortify yourself to be strong in faith in the days ahead.

LUKE  22:32, 21:26
