SAFETY

You live in a world that is falling apart. The earth is in a state of dying. Ever since mankind
chose to sin, the earth has experienced progressive corruption. The earth right now is groaning like a woman in labor for My return. This is why you see more and more earthquakes, floods, famines, and other natural disasters. I told My followers when I walked on earth that the increase of these natural disasters would be one of the signs of My soon return.

You, however, do not need to be alarmed by what you see happening in these last days. You are safe in My Father's heart. You are hid with Me in My Father. This is why you can remain in complete peace no matter what you may experience. My everlasting arms are around you and will always be until you see Me face to face. I have given you the inheritance of My peace, and I want you to share that inheritance. You have such good news to tell to those who are troubled because of the times. Look for opportunities to share this good news today and every day.

MATTHEW 24:7; MARK 13:8; LUKE 21:11; COLOSSIANS 3:3

JOURNEY

There is something exciting about taking a journey. You enjoy planning the journey and doing all that is necessary to be ready for the journey. You know that you are on the way to a special destination and you have all kinds of imaginations about what you will do and what you will say when you reach that destination.

I desire for you to look at your life as a journey to a special destination. I want you to plan every day to prepare yourself for that destination. The more that you know about your final destination, the more you will have an excitement in your heart about the journey you are on right now.

You are destined to be conformed to My image. That is your destination. When you see Me you will be like Me and you will know Me in all My fulness and glory. This should excite you and I exhort you to transmit your excitement to others today and everyday of your life.

ROMANS 8:29

FAVOUR

When I was young, I grew in wisdom and stature and favour with both God and man. Later in My life, I was rejected and persecuted and finally crucified. I gave My life freely to clothe you in My righteousness. Now you have great favour with My Father because when He sees you, He sees Me. You are hid with Me in My Father's heart. This is why nothing you ever do or ever say can separate you from My Father's favour and love for you. I suffered to purchase you great favour with My Father.

I desire for you to grow in wisdom and stature and favour with both God and man. Yes, the day may come when you will be persecuted for righteousness sake, but always remember that if My Father is for you, who can be against you. You are eternally in My Father's heart. Knowing these truths should give you great confidence when you have to interface and converse with people. Your very countenance will draw others to you because you shine with My glory. Never fear man because favour always surrounds you as a shield.

LUKE 2:52; PSALM 5:12; COLOSSIANS 3:3

ACCEPT/EXCEPT

Understand that I accept you just the way you are. You may say, but You do not know what I did yesterday. You do not know the thoughts that I have. I do know everything about you. I love you without exception. I love you and you are precious to Me. My love for you is not conditioned on how much you do for Me. My love for you is not conditioned on what you say. There is nothing that can separate you from My love.

Daily I embrace you with My love. Allow Me time each day for Me to express My love for you. I love you more than anyone on earth can love you. Earthly love has limits, and it is usually conditioned on performance. I love you today, tomorrow, and always without any expceptions.
Receive My love today and walk in that love.

ROMANS 8:31-39

Woundedness

There are so many wounded in this world. Sadly, many in My body have wounded their fellow believers. Whenever you judge another or say unloving words to one another, you are doing the job of My adversary. He loves to wound and, even more than that, he loves to wound the already wounded.

Be careful not to shoot the arrows of your own words of condemnation at others. Once again, when you do this, you are doing the work of the devil.

When you see a wounded person, I call for you to act as the good Samaritan acted. He bound up the wounds of the one who the theives had left for dead. I was wounded for your transgressions and I was bruised for your iniquities. I have forgiven you of all your sins. Today, give Me thanks for binding your wounds and setting you free. Then be on the alert to bind up the brokenhearted and to set the captives free. I want to use you as a vessel for Me to transmit My healing to those who are wounded.

LUKE 10; ISAIAH 53:5-6, 61:1

TRANSFER

There are many meanings for the word, "transfer." When you are in a job you do not like, you may ask for a transfer. When you are traveling by bus somewhere, you may need a transfer ticket to get you to your final destination. I love the word, "transfer," because this word explains what I have done for you.

When I took your sins upon myself on the tree where I was crucified, your sins were totally transferred to Me. When you accepted Me as your Lord and Savior, I provided you the ticket that will most assuredly get you to your final, wonderful destination. When you reach that final destination, you will no longer need to go somewherelse. You will live with Me eternally.

Rejoice today because I have forgiven you all of your sins - past, present, and future. You are on your final journey to the place where you and I will be together for all eternity. Set your affections on that final destination and your life in the here and now will be glorious.

COLOSSIANS 3:2

PERFORMANCE

You live in a world that is performance oriented. Employers rate employees based on their performances on the job. Symphony directors rate their members on their performances in a concert. Directors rate their actors on their performances.

I am not performance oriented. When I see you, I do not expect you to show how much you love Me by what you do and say. I do not grade you on how you are growing in faith or how the fruits of My Spirit are developing in your life.

I love you just the way you are. My Spirit is always within you to lead you into all truth and to help you to be conformed to My image. However, your performance means nothing to Me. I am pleased with you always simply because My love is not conditioned on performance. Remember today that I love you just as much as the Father loves Me. Yield to My Holy Spirit and allow Him to help you constantly throughout this day to not be more religious, but to be more intimate with Me. Religion separates, but relationship unites.

JOHN 14:20-21;17:23
