SOUNDS

I know how you love the sounds of the summer.  The tree frogs and many other creatures form a harmonic symphony.  Every season I created has distinct sounds like the crushing sound of leaves as you walk in Fall woods.

The sounds you hear on Earth do not compare to the sounds in heaven.  When your mother visited Me in heaven, she first heard bells announcing her visit and then she heard beautiful music like she never heard before.

It was not your mother's time yet to be with Me in heaven, and I am so glad she lived four more years.Never forget what I told her to tell the people on Earth.  I told her, "Tell the people that prayer is very important."  Remember that prayer breaks bondages and ushers in My Holy Spirit. Pray unceasingly.

1 THESSALONIANS 5;17; ROMANS 1:9

WRAP

I know you are experiencing hot weather this summer, and you usually do not need to take a wrap as you leave your home.  However, there is something that I want you to wrap yourself in daily no matter what is the weather.

I want you to wrap yourself in My love and in Me.  You wrap yourself in My love when you spend time in My presence and allow Me to speak or sing My love songs to you.

You wrap yourself in Me when you abide in My presence all the day long.  This simply means that you communicate with Me throughout your day and are aware of My presence with you. Doing this daily will help you to never feel abandoned, rejected, or alone.

JOHN 15:4,10

WATCH

I exhorted My disciples to watch and pray.  These two instructions are what I want you to follow today.  Watch for My second coming, but also watch out for My enemy because he knows that his time is short.

I am sure that you have noticed how many in My body on Earth are under attack.  More than ever, you need to watch out for the subtle strategies of My enemy to destroy My kingdom on Earth.

I also want you to fast and pray more as the days draw closer to My second coming. One of the strategies of My enemy is to divide and conquer.  The spirit of antichrist has the assignment to cause division in nations, homes, churches, and friends. Resist this spirit by praying spiritual warfare prayers based on Matthew 18:18.

MATTHEW 25:13, 26:41; 1 JOHN 2:18; 1 JOHN 2:22, 4:3

ADOPTION

When you accepted Me as your Lord and Savior, you became a member of My family. That family includes My Heavenly Father, Who loved you so much that He sent Me to Earth to forgive all of your sins (past, present, and future).

I am Lord of all, but I also can be like an elder brother to you.  My Spirit is like a mother to you because He is the comforter and the great teacher Who helps you understand My Word.

I chose to adopt you.  You will always be in My family.  Many people on Earth have never known their earthly fathers and others have been abandoned by their mothers.  I came to heal such people from their broken hearts.  Pray that such people will enter My family as you did.

ROMANS 8 :15

VALUE

What do you value the most?  When you look at your checkbook, you will discover what you value the most?

When you give generously to the poor, to further My Kingdom, to help others in distress, and to purchase things for your home and children that will make life more pleasant, you are valuing what is important to Me.

You are of highest value to Me.  When you see others also of great value, you then have My heart.  My Father expressed what He values the most when He was willing to offer Me as the perfect sacrifice to save mankind from sin.  God so loved the world, that He gave Me to redeem you from sin.  Never doubt your value.

JOHN 3:16-18

PLANS

I have heard people say, "When man makes his plans, God laughs."  My Father would never laugh at you if you are desiring in your heart to trust and obey Him.  However, the plans of mankind often fall short of the glorious plan that I have for them.

At the end of time, your works will be judged.  My Father has works for you to do that were designed even from the foundation of the Earth.  His plans have always been for your good, not for evil, to give you a purpose and a hope in life and an expected end.

Today, pray that you will fall short in no good work that I have planned for you. Pray that you will be on the same page in your "Book of Life" that I have written.  My Father knows the rest of the story, and as you seek to do My will, He will empower you by My Spirit to accomplish those works.

EPHESIANS 2:20; JEREMIAH 29:11

FORGET

As you walk with My Spirit through the gospel accounts  of My life on Earth, you will soon discover how forgetful My disciples were.  Most of them forgot what I told them about My soon coming death.  They remembered those things I said after I came to them in My resurrected form.

There are some things in life that I want you to forget, and there are things in life that I never want you to forget.  I want you to forget past hurts.  The only way to do this is to forgive the person who hurt you.  Holding on to hurt will damage you physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Give Me your past hurts and forgive those who have wounded you.  There is something that I want you never to forget and that is how much I love you.  It is My love that will help you forgive others.

MATTHEW 16:21; EPHESIANS 4:32
