SUBTLE

There were two things I told My disciples to do in order to be prepared for My second coming.  I told them to watch and pray.  My friend Peter also warned believers to watch out for My enemy because he is like a roaring lion that seeks to devour believers.

I remind you that only old lions roar.  Young lions sneak up on their prey.  Then once they have pounced on their prey, the old lions come to scare the young lions away.  The old lion then proceeds to finish devouring the prey.

My enemy is subtle, but he is like an old lion.  He preys on people who have been wounded.  I came to heal your broken heart to make you whole.  I use My Word as a two edged surgical knife to cut away your flesh from your Spirit.  This is why I exhort you to stay in God's Word, so that you will not be subject to My enemy's subtle ways.

MATTHEW 26:41; 1 PETER 5:8; JOHN 13:10-11

RISING

From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same, My name is to be praised.  I love it when you take time with Me before the sun rises.  If you will look carefully into the morning sky before the sun comes up, you will see the morning star.  I am the bright and morning star. 

When My Father said, "Let there be light," I was there.  I am the light of the world.  Yes, the sun gives warmth and light, but I was before the sun was created.  I also can give you warmth on those days when you are experiencing chilling circumstances.  I can throw light on those burdens that are weighing you down when you give those burdens to Me.

I am with you from the rising of the sun to the going down of the sun and even in the darkness of the night.  When you arise tomorrow morning to meet with Me before the sunrise, meditate on My eternal love that surrounds you and goes before you twenty-four hours each day.

REVELATION 16:22; JOHN 1:9-10

RELY

I want you to rely completely upon Me moment by moment.  You have seen how fast the moments are flashing by you as you grow older.  You still have the same amount of time in a day, but the years left before you will seem to fly by.  Every moment should be precious to you because every moment gives you an opportunity to share My love and My truths with others.

Tune your spiritual ear to hear what My Spirit is saying to you moment by moment.  He will help you to be extremely fruitful in spreading My good news to others as you rely on His guidance.  Whoever is in your presence at the moment is the one I want you to speak a word in season to.

As your look at your emails and receive messages on your phone, consider that those messages also give you an opportunity to express My love in someway to the ones who sent the messages. Ask Me to help you not to miss any divine appointments that I have ordained for you today.

JOHN 16:13-14

GLORY

My glory is My manifest presence with you.  Moses asked My Father to show forth His glory to him.  My Father hid Moses in a rock while He passed before him.  When I was born on earth, the angels sang, "Glory to God in the Highest and on earth, peace and good will towards men.

One of the reasons I was born was to show forth the glory of My Father.  My Father described Himself to Moses.  He said that He was longsuffering, forgiving, full of grace and truth.  I am the express image of My Father and grace and truth kissed one another when I was born on earth.

The Father and I are One.  Just before I left earth, I prayed that you and all those who believe in Me would be one even as the Father and I are One.  I said to My Father that the glory You gave to Me, I have given to them (those who believe on Me); that they may be one even, as we are one.  One day you will experience the fullness of My glory.  Until that day glorify Me in everything you do and everything you say.

JOHN 17:11, 22

RANSOM

I paid the ransom price for you with My own blood to set you free from Satan's grip.  I knew you before you were born.  I formed you from your mother's womb.  You are fearfully and wonderfully  made.


I was the light present when you were conceived.  For a brief moment in your early years, Satan kidnapped you and wanted you to live in darkness.  He did not stand a chance because My Father drew you to Myself with His bands of love.  From that moment on you have enjoyed my extravagant love.


Give thanks to Me today for My love.


JOHN 1; PSALM 139

EXERCISE

Paul wrote that bodily exercise profits little.  What profits the most is spiritual exercise.  The spiritual exercise that I desire for you to do daily is praying.  First when you stand praying make sure that you  have forgiven all everything.  Now you are ready to breathe in My Holy Spirit.  Ask Him to guide you as you pray.


Once you have breathed in the Holy Spirit, it is time for you to breathe out.  You breathe out every
burden to Me.  Ask, seek. and knock are to steps in prayer to take.  Ask My Spirit to help you pray.  Seek My presence by spending time listening to My Spirit and spending time in praising and worshiping Me.  Knock on the door of My throne room with faith as you lift your requests to Me with thanksgiving. 


Spend time today doing your spiritual exercise.


PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7

CHERISH

There is something warm about the word, "cherish."  When you were married, you vowed to love and cherish your beloved until death do you part.


.I am your bridegroom, and I both love and cherish you.  I express My love to you through My truth, My mercy, My forgiveness, and My grace.


I cherish you when My presence pulls you aside from your everyday duties to allow Me to warm your inner being with My love.  Allow Me today to cherish you throughout your day.


JOHN 3:16
