I have been speaking to you about giving. Most of My beloved desire to tithe and give offerings, but few take time to understand how many gifts they can give Me that are not monetary. Today I want to talk to you about the most important gift you can give Me.
The most important gift that you can give Me is yourself. I really do not need your money. Frankly, I have need of nothing. However, what makes My heart rejoice is the gift that you give Me every morning. When you offer your body to Me as a living sacrifice to do My will each day, My heart is filled with joy.
When all of My beloved take time to offer their bodies to Me, they are worshipping Me in a way that is so meaningful to Me. Worship is not just singing songs to Me. The highest form of worship is doing My will. Thank you for the gift you gave me this morning.
ROMANS 12:1

GIVING
Whenever you are concerned about your finances, and you wonder if you can continue to tithe or sow into My Kingdom, I want you to continue to be a cheerful giver. It is time to give when you go through lean financial times.
Giving more during lean financial times makes no sense in the natural. However, the principles of My Kingdom are not worldly principles. In fact, they are just the opposite of worldly principles. My servant and friend Paul wrote this promise:
He who sows sparingly shall reap also sparingly: and he who sows bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposes in his heart, so let him give: not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that you, always having all sufficiency in all things may abound to every good work: (as it is written, He has dispersed abroad; he has given to the poor: his righteousness remains forever."
2 CORINTHIANS 9:76-9

CONSISTENT
I long for My beloved to be consistent with their communication with Me. I am with My beloved moment by moment throughout the day, but often they forget to acknowledge My presence with them.
I want you and all My precious ones to be intentional in their communication with Me and in their awareness of My presence throughout the day. My Holy Spirit will help to train you to acknowledge My presence, and He will also help tune your spiritual ears to hear His still, quiet voice as He leads and guides you during each day.
I promised to be with you always even until the end of the world. Let that promise flow through your soul today, and ask My Holy Spirit to remind you constantly of My presence with you. Practice My presence with you today, and you will be amazed at how your day will glorify My Father in heaven.

DOCTRINES
Be very careful in these last days to make sure that any doctrine that you hear line up with My Word. My servant Paul warned Timothy that in the last days many believers would be influenced by seducing spirits and that they would leave the faith and preach the doctrines of devils.
This is why I exhort you to abide in My Word. I pray for you daily that your faith not fail you. I prayed that prayer for Simon Peter. Even though he did deny me, his faith did not fail. He repented with godly sorrow after he denied me three times.
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by My Word. There is only one way for your faith to be strengthened and that way is by abiding in My Word. Do not let My enemy distract you from reading and heeding My Word because My Word has the power to keep you moving ahead in faith.
1 TIMOTHY 4:1-5; LUKE 22:32; JOHN 17:6

READING/HEEDING
There is a big difference between reading and heeding My Word. Many of My beloved read My Word daily, but they do not apply the knowledge they gain from My Word to their hearts. Wisdom is applied knowledge.
Pray before you read My Word, and ask My Holy Spirit to give you understanding and wisdom in addition to knowledge. Ask for the anointing of My Holy Spirit, and then receive that anointing by faith.The anointing of My Holy Spirit will give you wisdom, understanding, knowledge, counsel, and strength when you read My Word.
My Spirit will teach you to fear Me. You will see this phrase, "the fear of the Lord" often in My Word. You fear Me when you humbly respect My awesome power and have a willing heart to obey My Word.

APPOINTMENT
Most people want to make their appointments on time. There is one appointment that most people wish not to make. That appointment is death. One person out of every one person die.
We all have this appointment in common.
The writer of Hebrews says that it is appointed once for man to die and then the judgment. I hold the keys if hell and death. Pray that you will make the appointment with death right on time, not a day early or a day late. That appointment is written in your book of life.
You never have to fear death. I have taken the sting out of death and the grave has no victory. Trust Me to keep you on Earth for the time period I have designated. I always want you to pray for those who are very ill to recover. Also, I want you to pray that they might live according to the days written in their book of life.
HEBREWS 9:27; 1 CORINTHIANS 15:55

ENLIGHTEN
I am the light of the world Who lights every man who comes into the world. I am present at every conception. Light came into the world when I came to live on Earth. I am the living Word of God and I have the power to enlighten people from the darkness. Sadly, many choose to walk in darkness rather than the light.
My servant Paul prayed that My Father might give to you the wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Me and that the eyes of your understanding would be enlightened to know what is the hope of your calling and what the riches of the glory of the inheritance is for those who will believe in Me. He also prayed that you might be enlightened to know My great power.
Pray today for My Father to enlighten the eyes of the understanding of those you love so that they might know all the riches and all the greatness that I can give to those who believe in Me.
EPHESIANS 1:17-19
