THOUGHTS

Capture your thoughts and give them to Me. Give any thought that is negative or contrary to My Word to Me immediately.

When you set your affections on the things that are above, you will have a Kingdom view. For example, when you are worried and concerned about finances, transfer your thoughts to My Treasure House in heaven. I own the cattle on a 1000 hills. When you have thoughts that cause you to fear, think about My love and protection. My perfect love casts out all fear. When you remain in My perfect love, fear must go.

Dwell and abide in Me, My Word, My love and your thoughts will be Kingdom thoughts. The Kingdom view is filled with righteous, peaceful, and joyful thoughts.

2 CORINTHIANS 10:4-7; ROMANS 14:17

GIVING

I am a giver, and I have called you to be a giver. I love a cheerful giver. There is such liberty in giving. Freely you have received, so freely give. I have a bountiful treasure house in heaven, and I am the doorkeeper to that treasure house. You have not because you ask not. Never hesitate to ask. You never have to beg. No good thing will I withhold from those who walk uprightly with Me.

I taught My disciples to ask Father for their daily bread. It is My delight to meet your daily needs. As you seek My Kingdom first and My righteousness, I will meet your daily needs for clothing and food.

You are already clothed with My righteousness, but you seek My righteousness when you offer yourself as a living sacrifice to Me. Daily offer your body to Me and the members of your body to be used as instruments of My righteousness, love, peace, and joy. The only gift I require from you is YOU. When you daily commit your whole being to Me, I am committed to grant your requests. I grant the desires of the righteous. You will ask rightly when your greatest desire is to do My will.

PSALM 37:4, 25; 84:11; LUKE 12l31; 2 CORINTHIANS 9:7

TREATMENT

I know how you love to be treated with kindness. I know how you appreciate those in your life who always give you an encouraging word. You love to have people extend their forgiveness to you. You love to have others strengthen and pray for you in your times of trial. You love the tender touch.

Everyone loves to be treated well. Think about that today as you go through your day. Do unto others exactly how you want them to do to you. As you sow loving deeds of kindness and words of encouragement to others, you will reap the same. To obtain mercy, you must show mercy.

MATTHEW 5:7;

LATTER RAIN

Pray for the latter rain that will precede My coming again. The prophet Zechariah wrote, "Ask the Lord for rain in the time of the latter rain" (Zechariah 10:1). James compared believers to farmers who wait patiently for the former and latter rain. I exhort you today to be patient and establish your heart for My return.

This is a time when you must intercede for the lost. My Spirit is moving quickly in these last days to gather this last great harvest. However, He needs your cooperation. Your intercession will bring forth a great harvest. Cry out for the lost. Pray for more laborers who will take My good news to those who have never heard.

This is not a time to be slack in your spiritual disciplines of prayer and Bible study. There is much work to do. Keep working in the fields and establish your heart in Me. There will be much trembling and shaking of the Earth in the days ahead, but do not be shaken in your belief.
Be patient. It is with patience that you are able to receive all I have promised you. Establish yourself in My Word because My Word will be your sustenance in the days ahead.

For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and do not return there, but water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater,

So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it (Isaiah 55:10-11).

JOEL 2:23-28, 2 PETER 1:4; HOSEA 6:3

RIGHTS

Some people feel like they have certain rights and are entitled to be treated a certain way. When you accepted Me as your Lord and Savior, I gave you every right that I have. You have the right to the Kingdom of God, the right to My full inheritance, and the right to have a continual relationship with Me and My Father by the Holy Spirit. My Kingdom is not meat or drink, but it is peace, righteousness, and joy in the Holy Spirit. I purchased you the right to be clothed in My righteousness so that you now can have immediate access to My Throne Room in prayer.

Meditate on these rights I have given to you today. You did not have to earn these rights. They were freely given to you. The greatest right I gave you is to love Me with all of your heart and to love others as I love them. That means that I have given you the right to love those who are insisting on their own rights. I know those are difficult people to love, but I have given you the Holy Spirit to fill your heart with My love.

Enjoy the rights I have given you and above all, present these truths to others. Those who insist on their own rights have not yet come to the realization that I am the One Who daily gives them bread and breath to live their lives. Pray for those who have not yet entered My Kingdom.

ROMANS 14:17; HEBREWS 4:14-16; ROMANS 5:5

LONELINESS

There are many holidays when families gather together to celebrate and dine together. My Father ordained the Feast of Tabernacles to be one of those holy days when families dined in booths for seven days. I attended every Feast, but right before I was crucified I attended the first few days of the Feast of Tabernacles in secret. It was not My time yet to reveal Myself. Even My brothers did not believe in Me and they wanted Me to show Myself openly in Jerusalem.

They did not know it, but I did attend the Feast. I stood in the shadows as I watched My family enjoying their fellowship with one another. The loneliness I felt then was almost unbearable. However, that loneliness I felt then was nothing to compare to the loneliness I would soon feel when My Father had to turn away from Me for a moment as I took the sins of the whole world upon Me. Father has purer eyes than to behold evil, and the sin upon Me caused Him to turn away. I cried, "My God, My God, why have you forsaken Me?"

On that fateful day when I died on the tree, I paved the way for all those who are rejected and lonely to be healed. As the holidays of Thanksgiving and Christmas soon approach, pray for those who are lonely and include them if possible in your celebrations.
There is still time to include those who do not have family to join you as you continue to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.

JOHN 7:1-10; MATTHEW 27:46

WORDS

I appreciate every morning when you pray the prayer, "Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable to You, O Lord." Whatever is in your heart will eventually come out of your mouth. My servant, David, knew this. He wrote: For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether (Psalm 139:4)

I know what you are going to speak before you speak it because I know your heart. This is why it is so important to meditate on My Word all the day long. When My Word comes out of your mouth, lives can be changed. At the same time, the enemy will give you words to speak during the day that could harm those you encounter during this day. The enemy will have no success in doing this, if your mind is stayed upon Me and you meditate on My Word.

The best defense against the enemy is a great offense. The enemy wants to use your mouth as a gun to fire harmful words like bullets to others. Once words come out of your mouth, they cannot be retrieved. The harm done is done.

I urge you today to give your heart to Me and allow Me to speak to you My words all the day long. Worry is negative meditation. Instead of letting your mind get into a worry whirl, meditate on My Word day and night and I will cause your way to prosper and your day to be fruitful.

JOSHUA 1:8
