Deuteronomy 4

My child, I have called you to be a laborer for Me in the vineyard, harvesting the crop, for the end of the season is drawing near.
It is My joy to provide for you in the labor, equipping you with tools, training you in their techniques, and strengthening you for their use. My Spirit goes before you, giving you wisdom and understanding, to point out the clusters when they are ripest, to see the leaves giving too much shade, to catch the foxes that spoil the vines.
When I walked the earth, I demonstrated how the crop was to be harvested, so I understand the trials the work brings and the challenges you face. Rely on Me for what you need, My brave one, trust in My ways and words.
Though you have tools you have used for years, yield them to Me and let the Spirit teach you to use Mine. Though you bring much experience with you, My little one, submit those years to Me and let My Spirit renew your youth, becoming as a child in My service, growing in wisdom and grace in the sight of God and man.
Though you have developed great endurance, My chosen one, rest in Me and let the Spirit turn your stolid resignation into joyful exuberance, for therein will you find the strength to run and not be weary.
It is My delight to have set aside My royal titles and names of authority in order to be called the “Son of man” and the first-born of many brethren; count it all joy in your life to receive the same power of God that raised Me from the dead and allow it to renew your mind, heal your thoughts, write My words on your heart, and empower you to do My work, for no spiritual success can ever come from your natural strength.
Let the light and the life of the Spirit which lifts the sorrowing, strengthens the weak, works justice for the abused, and resurrects the hopes of those who were dying and doomed, flow through your life as you humbly seek the will of the Father and meekly obey the Word of the Lord, pointing people to Me, and leaving them at My feet, thereby bringing honor to the One you love.

Psalm 68

May you abide in the righteousness of Christ, engrafted in the True Vine, nourished by the living water supplied by the Root, that you may flourish, growing in grace and spiritual beauty, bearing fruit for the pleasure of the Husbandman and the joy of the Vine-Dresser, not trusting in riches of this world which will pass away or relying on the strength and wisdom of the carnal mind which will fail, lest you wither and fall as a leaf cut off from his Source of Life.

Deuteronomy 3

May you be encouraged and strengthened when you consider the victories in your own life which the Lord has already wrought, and go forth to overcome the issues which still rise up and cause you struggles. This way, through the Spirit and the Word, you may obtain the mastery of your own vessel in purity and honor for the Lord your God Himself will fight for you. Deuteronomy 3, 1 Thessalonian 4

My child, let faith calm your fears, even in the deepest struggles and the most intense battles. Know that I have not forsaken you, for I do not change.
The way you have known Me to be in peaceful times and calm situations, so I am, unchanged, when circumstances are overturned and conditions are reversed. Although you are in a different situation, I have not left you, and My grace is ever with you.
If you have made willful choices apart from My leading, I am still ready to receive you back and make a way out for you; if the assignment I have given you has led you here, it is My power that keeps you and My will that proscribes what the enemy can and cannot do to you.
When you consider My servant Paul and remember the persecutions, shipwreck, beatings and imprisonment he endured, you never see him bereft of My love. When you read about My servant Peter, making rash choices, being in trouble with authorities, at times in chains, you never see him out of reach of My hand.
Even the times that I contended with the Temple leaders, with the synagogue leaders, with the town’s people, even when I struggled in prayer in the garden against the onslaught of the enemy, you see that I was not abandoned in the grave, but resurrected in glory and am now seated in authority on the right hand of the Father. The very powers that sought to overwhelm Me have been broken and destroyed.
By faith, My precious one, realize that it is not the battle you are in or the struggle that you face which is important; rather it is in Whom you abide, and it is the faith you have in the promise you have received.
By the discernment of the Father, you will be able to see the victory even when the odds appear to be stacked against you. You will learn more about the creative and unexpected ways that I, your Redeemer and King, will never fail to faithfully keep you when I bring My will to pass, setting your feet on solid ground.

Luke 6

My child, come up here to Me.
Do not dwell in the world, but rise above it to the heavenlies and find your life and your joy with Me.
Do not be discouraged at the struggles you face, for that is the path I have placed you on. Only those who are yielded to, and compliant with, the obsessive demands of the flesh and the restless selfishness of the carnal mind will avoid the struggles you encounter, for I am delivering you from the powers that once held sway in your life.
Continue to follow My voice, My love, and heed the guidance you receive through My Word as it is witnessed by My Spirit in your heart and confirmed through My Body, and you will see the results as you grow and mature in Me.
When you receive the Light of My Truth convicting you in your heart of the works of the flesh, do not justify or defend yourself, but confess it to Me, accept that truth, and permit Me to deal with what is wrong.
The path of salvation is not one that you know, but I will guide you on it. I know every step of it, My dear one, for I have formed it for you. I, the Lord, glorious and awesome, take delight in serving as your guide and travel companion.
Rejoice in My presence, even as the painful process runs its course, for though you are blind, unable to see your own weaknesses and fallacies, I am with you to lead you and heal you, that you may see more and more clearly as you come out of darkness and into My light.
Receive the knowledge and riches I bring to you, and walk in agreement with Me, the King of kings, no longer grieving the Spirit of God Who dwells within you.
Allow Me to make you holy unto Myself, even as I am holy, that others will no longer see you, but will see My touch in your life and read My truth in the epistle of your heart.

May you take the land of your soul which God has redeemed and given you to live there, cleansing it of the carved stones, molten images, and sanctuaries of idol worship as God directs you, removing the influences of the world, the flesh, and the enemy of God through the truth of the Word, the power of the Spirit, and the proclaiming of your testimony as you cherish and cling to none of these things but yield them to be destroyed in the holiness of the Lord lest they be as cinders in your eye and thorns in your side, causing you to receive the same fate that God has planned for them. Numbers 33

May you be content within the boundaries God establishes, for though the space marked is limited, it is a foretaste of what He has in store, and little is much when God is in it, filling it with abundant life. Numbers 34

Be persistent in your prayer, My child, and let nothing distract you from the burden I have given you. You are doing My work, assigned work, royal work, work of the kingdom, as you petition Me for the issues and concerns that weigh on your heart.
You, and each I send to help you, are bearing those to Me who are paralyzed and cannot walk. You often find your way passively blocked, with no ill-will toward you and the burden I have sent you to bring to Me, but without the caring concern I have given you. Do not give up, do not quit, do not say in your heart, “This is all I can do; the way in to the Lord is blocked. I have done my best. God knows my heart; He will do what He wants to do.”
Search out a way. Let My Spirit open your eyes. I will show you the way where there is no way. Man’s ways do not allow this, but for the sake of My lambs, I am not bound by convention or tradition. My love will not be stopped by any barriers, walls or roofs that men erect around Me.
Let your faith reach out to Me in the assurance of My will to save and to heal, and break through any obstacles that block the completion of the task you have been given.
Always remain true to Me, never walking in arrogance or pride, for My Name does not give license to push others aside; following the leading of My Spirit will always take you in the way that gives esteem to others, though it appears to lead further from Me.
My wisdom will give you the means and the understanding to see the paralytic saved and healed, rejoicing in Me, and many around amazed and giving praise to God as they are filled with awe.
Do not give up, My child, for you are nearly there.

May God go before you and abundantly enrich the hearts of the people for whom He cared enough to send you so that the hearts furrowed by pain and sorrow will be watered with abundant rain and the Spirit will melt the hardness, causing the seeds you freely scatter to sprout across the land, turning the wilderness to lush, green pastures filled with sheep, the hillsides blossoming with joy, and the valleys carpeted with grain as the world shouts with joy and sings praise to the Lord God Himself. Psalm 65

May you look forward to happiness, like the righteous, unlike the wicked which can only expect wrath. Proverbs 11:23

Proverbs 8:13 To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.

May you be willing to follow the Lord the full distance He leads, and not settle for “good enough” or be dismayed by what “might be,” placing your trust in the love of the Lord and your faith in the Word of God, confident in His promise to give you a future and a hope, knowing that, as the Author and Finisher of your faith, He will see you through safely to the end. Numbers 32, Jeremiah 29, Hebrews 12

May you always remember the blessings of the Lord and how the hand of God has been with you, and evident in your life, giving thanks and honor to the Lord of all that He has not only accompanied you, but actively directed you through the events of your life, for He purchased your salvation, redeeming you from the hand of your enemy while you were yet His enemy.

My child, guard your heart. Keep your heart ever toward Me. Desire what I have for you.
Seek to know Me through My Word, asking for My Spirit to give you understanding in your heart of what I am saying to you. Speak to Me from your heart; say what you want Me to know.
Commune with Me, My dear one, for I want you to be involved in what I do. Come closer to Me daily through the time you spend with Me. Time spent in My presence is never wasted, My love, but will always accomplish what you need.
Let the hunger in your heart draw you closer, though the path be rough to walk. Let the satisfying love you feel from Me encourage you to press onward, though the draw of the world tugs at you. Walk steadily forward, even when you falter, for if you stumble or fall, why would you turn from Me at the time you need My strength the most? Guard your heart, My precious one, for the darting lies of the enemy of your soul are always seeking a way to devour your devotion.
Know, by My Word promised, spoken, and written, that I love you with an everlasting love, and I have made a way for you. Follow Me on that way, though the path is dim and the way is dark at times, I will be the light to guide you for the next step, and the next, and the next. At times, you will see a vista spread before you, but when the surroundings close in, I am still with you, for I have never forsaken you, nor will I ever leave you.
You are the apple of My eye, My precious one, and I will do everything necessary to protect and guard you. Any who touch you without loving you will be consumed by My jealous anger. But you must do your part, My chosen one.
You must seek, and knock, and ask, putting feet and hands and voice to your hunger. I will be found by you, if you seek Me. I do not hide Myself from you, else you would never find Me; instead, I hide Myself for you, away from the reach of the world, away from the understanding of the flesh, but always within the reach of your spirit.
Come away with Me for a time each day, My called-out one, and let Me refresh you with My mercies, which are renewed every morning. I have much to share, and you are the one I chose to share it with. Enter into the love of the Father through the Son, and rejoice in all that is yours.

May you receive, through obedient action, the overflowing and uncontainable blessing of God in your life as you give your resources for Him to use, as Peter did when he let Jesus preach from his boat. Luke 5

May you rejoice in the Lord like the righteous do as you take refuge in Him, for all the upright in heart praise Him and all mankind will fear God as they proclaim the works of God and ponder what He has done. Psalm 64

May you voice your complaint to God, for He will hear you and protect your life from the enemy’s threat, hiding you from the conspiracy of the noisy crowd of evildoers – the ones who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their words like arrows, ambushing the innocent without fear; for though they encourage each other in evil plans and meet secretly to set their traps, spending long hours in endless evil thoughts and sharp lookout for opportunities of crime, yet God Himself will shoot them suddenly and strike them down without recourse, turning their own tongues against them, bringing them to ruin and putting them to scorn, as He has in His mercy in our own lives, to draw us to Him. Psalm 64

Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

May you be blessed with knowing your weaknesses, so that you can turn to God and receive from Him the strength of His Word, which is your sword, and stand in the faith of that Word, which is your shield, lest you focus on your strengths and, believing them sufficient, fall before the enemy of your soul because the arm of flesh failed you.

May you not test the Father by inappropriate confidence in His protection, but walk circumspectly in obedience to Him. Luke 4

Speak with confidence, My child, when you call on My Name in prayer and conversation with Me. When you speak to Me of your needs, of your desires, when you offer praise and when worship wells up from your heart to honor Me, do not be hesitant or fearful, for I know every word on your tongue and every intent in your heart.
Let the expression of My love for you, that I demonstrated at Calvary, be a supporting bulwark when you find yourself pausing, feeling doubtful or uncertain. Let the knowledge of My boundless love wash away fear and bring a depth of assurance to your utterance that will cause the angels, who ceaselessly worship within sight of Me, to pause in wonder at the fervency of your expression of joy. They desire to glimpse even a part of what could cause such devotion from one such as you who has never seen Me.
Speak with assurance, My love, when you name My Name before men in witness and testimony during conversation and discussion. When you speak to them of My acts and of My ways, when you describe how I have touched your heart and changed your life, and when you seek to express the devotion you feel, do not be cautious or reticent, for you are speaking truth from your heart and facts from your life, which cannot be changed by the opinions or misunderstandings of others.
Know that some, those whom I am drawing, will wonder and desire to know better what can cause such heartfelt love and total devotion to Someone Who has never been seen. As the Father has shone in your heart, giving the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ, so shine that light, which is the wonder of heaven and the life of men, before all who cross paths with you.

May you realize that as you stand in the gap for others, the attacks of the enemy may bruise your heel, causing pain and making your walk a struggle, but the Lord will prevail and it will be to the breaking of the head of the enemy of God. Luke 4, Genesis 3

May you realize, with joy and thanksgiving, that even as you are, by the grace of God, a son of the heavenly Father through Jesus your Savior, the first-born of many brethren, Who paid in full the ransom demanded, so also, by lineage, through all the generations back to Adam, who was made by God as a son, you were created, shaped, and formed by God originally so that, with full intentionality, you should ever be His child, part of His family, loved, cherished, cared for, and made a part of His kingdom, able and trusted, to be about the Father’s business with grace, mercy, justice, humility, and love. Luke 3

You are wasting your time, My child, when you pursue desires that are not of Me. Seek out My face for direction as you let My eye guide you. Find My heart open to your cry for understanding, and let My thoughts impart wisdom as they wash over you.
In Me you have life, abundant life, eternal life. In My presence you will find the pleasure and joys forever more that I have known with the Father. In the world you will find persecutions and tribulation, just as I did when I walked the earth.
I am a Man of sorrows, but I know the joy of full, eternal fellowship with the Father. As you follow Me, you will receive, in full measure, both the pain of rejection by men and the pleasure of acceptance by the Father. Do not avoid one, desiring only the other; both are essential parts of the walk you will find as you follow the path I set your feet on.
Your pilgrimage will take you through dry, dusty lands with no cooling shade and little comfort as you go. But your destination is a city built without hands, with living water flowing from the throne of God and the tree of life bearing fruit continually.
Pain is a well-known companion that I have spent much time with, both of the body and of the soul, when I dwelt on earth. I wept over the people whom I desired to gather and shelter from harm, but saw the desolation that they were choosing. The comfort I received from the Father, I share with you.
When the apparent hopelessness of your situation starts to overwhelm your heart, My Word and My Spirit are with you, reminding you that He has all things under control and not one of His will be lost.
I know the bodily exhaustion you deal with, and the physical pain that saturates your awareness. I, too, had to choose between obedient ministry to those in need and the needs of My body for food, rest, and sleep. The strength I received from the Father, as I waited on Him, I now give to you that you may fulfill the responsibilities that you have accepted from Me, even as you choose to deny yourself and wait in My presence for My good pleasure.
I demand nothing from you, but I accept all that you are willing to give; and for all you choose to give, I have much more to give in return. Let Me be your desire, My love, and pursue Me with ever-increasing vigor and determination so that I may fulfill the desires of your heart with every good gift and bountiful blessing that you seek.

1 Peter 2:5 you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

May you know that the Lord, He is God, and may you trust His full control in all circumstances, for though each person has the freedom to choose, He is able, whenever you turn to Him, to bring you back to Himself from wherever your decisions have taken you. Numbers 26

May you be confident that your faith in the Lord and your testimony of Christ will let you stand when others fall, so that you may endure to the end and see the victory of God, receiving His promises. Numbers 26

May you see how the Lord has respect for those who have respect for Him, for He will make a way where there appears to be no way, if you have strong faith, earnest desire and respectful honor, as you pursue the conviction which God places in your heart. Numbers 27

May you trust God to care for you in all ways, leaving the details and the concerns of what happens to you safely in the hands of the One Who has proven the boundless depths of His love for you. In that way, you may turn your desires and prayers toward those you care for as you move from one season of life to another, and from one stage of ministry to the next. Numbers 27

May you pray for and invest in those younger than yourself, in whom you see the graces and gifts of the Spirit, the hunger, humility, and courage of a follower of God, that they may see the love of God walked out and hear the wisdom of God expressed. Numbers 27

My child, let your eye be single and your thoughts stayed on me, not double-minded and swayed by circumstances or events.
You are given the choice, the freedom, to decide where you stand and to pick your point of view. There are those who see nothing but the shortcomings in their life, the short-falls in their fortune, the defeats and failures of those who bear My name. They see only what is yet to be done, the distance yet to be traveled, and they yield to discouragement and despondency, believing and proclaiming that nothing ever changes, but that all continues as it has from the beginning.
I have called you, My lovely one, to walk by faith and not by sight, to dwell in the heavenlies with Me even as you walk the dusty paths of your pilgrimage on earth. By this, you understand that though you still dwell in a body of flesh which has inherited the promise of death through Adam’s sin, you are renewed in your mind and reborn in your heart, glorified in your spirit in Christ, seated with Me in heavenly places to reign and rule in the ages to come.
Do not look at the gap or discrepancy between what you see now and what you have been told in My Word, for am I not able to do what, with man, is impossible? Have I not said that when I return in triumph in the skies that Mine who remain alive will be transformed in the twinkling of an eye? I, and I alone, am the Author and Finisher of your faith-walk, and only as you endure, through patience and long-suffering, will you be in place to be saved.
Let the joy of My promises fill your heart and make the day’s journey lighter; let the assurance of the coming celebration at the wedding feast of the Lamb put a spring in your step. Let the eternal reality of My kingdom out-weigh and over-ride whatever your fleshly eyes and ears convey to you. Guard continually the “gates” to the “kingdom” of your soul.
I do not tell you to lie to yourself or anyone else about what is around you or what you are facing, but neither are you to cast aside promises that you have not yet received. Since both are true, but only one is eternal, which report will you put your trust in?

May you prepare straight paths to the Lord, speaking the truth in love to others that they may realize Who to turn to and see how to get there. Multitudes are struggling in rough places on crooked roads, trying to make decisions in every valley, though their sight is blocked by the mountains and the hills, as they wait for you to bring good tidings and publish peace, announcing the salvation of the God Who reigns! Luke 3

May you live a life that demonstrates your repentance and illustrates God’s forgiveness by walking each day in generosity to others needs, honesty in your assignments and responsibilities, humility in your authority, meekness in your strength, and contentment in your circumstances. Luke 3

May God hear your cry and listen to your prayer when your heart is faint and overwhelmed, though you call from the ends of the earth. Psalm 61

May He lead you to the mighty, towering Rock of safety, so that He may be your refuge, a strong, high tower where your enemies can never reach you. Psalm 61

May you long to abide in God’s dwelling forever, and take shelter in His wings. He has heard your heart’s cry and has given you the blessings reserved for those who fear His name. Psalm 61

May God give you added years of life, as rich and full as those of many generations, all packed into one, that you shall live before the Lord forever. He will assign His lovingkindness and truth to guard and watch over you so that you may praise the name of the Lord each day, continually. Psalm 61

May you receive the honor which goes to kind and gracious people, rather than mere money which is all that those who love cruelty receive. Proverbs 11:16

May you nourish your own soul through your kindness to others, lest cruelty destroys it. Proverbs 11:17

Proverbs 4:7 The beginning of wisdom is: Acquire wisdom; and with all your acquiring, get understanding.

Ephesians 4:14 We must stop acting like children. We must not let deceitful people trick us by their false teachings, which are like winds that toss us around from place to place.

May you be willing, and able, to be counted among the people of God who are “able to serve in the army of God,” and become overcomers, walking in the triumph and promise of victory as you follow the Commander of heaven’s hosts. Numbers 26

May you be willing to let the family of God be yours, over the family ties after the flesh, welcoming all who join the Lord, and urging in compassion all who are still seeking, but not clinging to those who have rejected the Word of God, even as the family of Korah did, for they did not die when Korah rebelled and the earth swallowed him up. Numbers 26

May you grow in wisdom and in favor with God and men. Luke 2

The attacks and assaults of the enemy that you have felt, My child, have been strong and persistent, causing you to look for a way out of the pressure and stress and bring you relief and rest. You have sought Me and cried out to Me for rescue but haven’t received it, for the tribulation continues.
You have searched the Word for a promise of deliverance, but the letters have remained simply ink on paper. You begin to wonder if I have forgotten you, or if you mean so little to Me that I have overlooked or lost sight of you, when so many others have been blessed with answers to their prayers.
You have searched your heart for hidden sin, concerned that the weakness of the flesh has separated you from My Spirit, leaving you open in unhindered access to the evil one’s desires.
It is the desire of My heart for you to know, My dear one, that I have remained with you in every battle and throughout each attack, and it has been My will that drew the boundaries around you against the enemy’s will when your endurance began to falter. I answered your prayer for deliverance from the struggle, My precious one, by giving you My strength to withstand more than you thought you could face. I have shared the sorrow and the pain you have felt, and I bore the brunt of it, not permitting it to overwhelm you. The portion you bore, My love, provided the motivation to turn to Me and seek me in ways and for areas of your life that could not be reached in calm and predictable times.
The enemy sought to steal, kill and destroy, but you endured, becoming stronger, more stable and patient, more understanding and accepting of others who face these trials, as your roots went deep and made you more fruitful.
The Father overlooks no one who is His, whether you are a mighty warrior or a timid servant, and He places the limits on His enemy, never allowing evil to have its way unchecked or its will unbounded in your life. Before the attack ever starts, He lovingly prepares you with what you will need to overcome when the battle finally runs its course.
Because you have sought the Lord, you have found Him in many ways and at other times than you would have expected. As you gain the vision of what God is doing in your life through events and people, you will be able to rise up in faith and let fear fall away as you walk in a new awareness of His love, knowing that you are accepted by the Father, and that you will gain new expressions of His mercy in ministry to others because of what you have learned in your private times before the Lord your Savior.

When God shows His people desperate times, may you be among those who hold Him in respectful awe, for He will raise a banner to be unfurled against the bow. Psalm 60

May God save you and help you with His right hand to deliver you, as He does for those He loves. Psalm 60

May you be obedient to the laws of the land, though they be inconvenient and costly, for through them God fulfills His promises. Luke 2

May you share with all you know that which the Lord has revealed to you as a testimony of His goodness and an earnest of His promise. Luke 2

My child, your days are few, and they pass swifter than a runner, slipping past as unstoppable as a boat carried on the water, in spite of your most rigorous efforts to halt the fleeing shadow.
The world, man’s works on earth, society and culture, pass away, always changing and shifting, unsatisfied and unfulfillable regardless of how much you give to it.
In Me, you have the enduring assurance of My constancy, My unchanging persistence, My eternal loving redemption, and yet never fully known in the breadth of My endless variety of expression and the depth of My spirit of continual growth and revelation.
The ungodly and impure will always resist Me, even as you did at one time. So also they will persecute you as you release the world and its ways of thinking and acting, to be transformed, day by day, renewed in spirit and mind and soul, which will endure.
They will continue to focus on the flesh, trying to preserve that which is destined to die. They have no peace, no rest, no end of striving for what will never be achieved.
Come, instead, to Me where the days you have been allotted will be spent in hard work, difficult striving, challenging growth, overcoming self, and defeating enemies, with the assurance of My comforting Spirit now and eternal satisfaction in My presence in times to come.
As you grow in faith and follow the path of righteousness, choosing to be purified through the Word and yielding to the sanctification of the Spirit, you will walk in the peace that the world can never give for the world can never know it.
But as you walk in the light, even as I am in the light, you will find that you have taken off the old self with its practices and put on the new self which is being renewed, day by day, as you learn to know Me as Savior, Healer, Comforter, Shepherd, and Master.

May you sing praise to God, your Strength, and watch for Him Who is your fortress, your loving God. Psalm 59

May you not be so caught up in your pride or so involved in your plans that you miss the wonders of God’s involvement in your life, and the redemptive miracles of His hand of salvation. Numbers 22

May you seek God daily in prayer and through the Word, in humility of spirit and thankfulness of heart, that you may have the grace of the Lord and the strength of the Spirit to walk in the way of the Father and guard your own heart, so you won’t go astray after the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. Numbers 22, 1 John 2

May you bless those whom God tells you to bless, and serve those God sends you to serve. Numbers 23

May you receive the Word of God and follow the leading of the Spirit in full confidence and faith of the Lord’s confirmation with signs following, for God is not a man that He should lie, nor a son of man that He should change His mind. He will not speak and then fail to act, or will He promise and not fulfill. Numbers 23

May you be joyful with your neighbor when God shows them great mercy. Luke 1

May your mouth be opened and your tongue loosed when you obey God. When you begin to speak, may His praises be heard and His name glorified. Luke 1

My child, let Me be your strength. Let Me help you cover the daily distance you must go, bounding through a field like a deer rather than plodding through the day in your own strength. Let Me guide you through the mountains, directing you in the safest route to the top, fellowshipping with Me, and then safely to the other side, without false starts or backtracking.
The Father was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Me, so I emptied Myself in obedience. I became as a servant who carries the purse for his master, paying the bills and passing out largesse as directed, or as a fountain connected to an entire reservoir, holding nothing back but allowing the abundance to flow for those who are thirsty and hot to quench their thirst, cool their face, cleanse their hands and feet.
Draw from Me of the Father for all that you need, for only what is done in Christ will stand before the Father and be recognized by the Father and be accepted in the Father. That which is done for Christ or in the name of the Father, but through your own resources, will go the way of all flesh.
Abide in Me, and through the Word and the Spirit, allow Me to abide in you, giving you sanctuary and refuge in the places and the peoples among whom I place you. Allow Me to be with you, even as I was with Jacob in his wanderings, and more visibly, with the Israelites as they traveled, for I am the ark of the covenant, and the mercy seat where the presence of God dwells.
Enter with boldness and come before Me with all your needs, and the needs of those I have burdened your heart with. There you will find the fullness of God to supply in all abundance without reserve, that the Father may be glorified through Me.

May the Lord’s hand be with you as His Spirit is upon you. Luke 1

May your praise be toward the Lord our God because He has come and redeemed His people and raised up a mighty and valiant Helper, the Author of salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us, to show mercy to our fathers and remember His holy covenant: to rescue us from the hand of our enemies and enable us to serve Him without fear in holiness and righteousness before Him all our days. Luke 1

May you speak in justice and judge with integrity through the wisdom of the Spirit and the righteousness of Christ in all your service and through all your ministry to those that God brings to you, expressing God’s justice in your heart and meting out the Lord’s mercy on the earth from your hands.

May you be certain that the righteous in Christ are still rewarded, for there is a holy God Who judges the earth in justice. Psalm 58

May you hold your tongue as does a man of understanding, lest you deride your neighbor like a man who lacks judgment. Proverbs 11:12

My child, it pleases Me to reveal to you the Father, for He has brought you to Me out of the world. You are His, and He has given you to Me so that I may reveal Him to you, for knowing and believing in the Father, and the One He has sent, is eternal life.
You are Mine, to protect, defend, and mature, even as you are His, if you obey His Word. I have finished the work that He gave Me to do, and now I send the Spirit to be with you as you complete the work He gives you.
The struggle you face in doing His work is because of what you have yielded your members to in the past, the selfishnesses that you have walked in when your carnal nature ruled, the immediate gratification you have sought when you knew no greater authority than your own wants and desires.
When you turned to Me in trust and belief, you died to your fleshly nature through My crucifixion, canceling the authority it held over you, a tyrant beyond your ability to overthrow. But I am Lord over all lords, kings, and tyrants, and I am anointed of the Father to declare deliverance to the captives.
As you engraft the Word in your heart and the Spirit brings it to life for you, revealing the truth of your liberty, you come to understand that your former captor has no hold on you, but continues to walk alongside of you, as long as you are in this world, attempting to convince you to return to the former ways, and depending on old habits of thought to regain the previous sense of control.
But as you continue to yield your members to Me in humility and remain poor in spirit, giving up what you feel are your entitlements and rights, you will come to understand that you are, and always have been, under authority to a greater power than your own. As you grasp the fact that I have broken the power of inherited sin that you were under, the life of the Spirit will open up for you to walk in freedom from the oppression of sin and the flesh.
You will find that you are conducting yourself, through the power of the Spirit, as a blameless and innocent child of God, above reproach, and you will come into the kingdom of heaven, knowing the Father Whom I delight in revealing to you, and His comforting love.

May you be blessed for believing that what the Lord has said to you will be accomplished. Luke 1

Psalm 57

May you praise the Lord among the nations and sing of Him among the peoples, for great is His love, reaching to the heavens, and His faithfulness reaches to the skies. Psalm 57

My child, know that you are a part of something larger than yourself.
I have called you, and redeemed you, and grafted you into the True Vine, giving you to drink of the living water which springs from the one true Source. I have given My body to be living bread to be shared by each one who knows My touch upon their spirit and cherishes My truth within their heart.
Look beyond your limits and see the larger scope, glance to the horizon and view the vast scale of My plan. Understand that you are connected to the innumerable hosts that not only span the globe and include every tongue, but extends through time and covers all ages. Then you will begin to see how broad is My grace, how wide is My mercy, how deep is My sea of forgetfulness, how abundant is My compassionate love.
I know you in intimate detail, My dear one, not simply because I am God and know all things, but because you are precious to Me and I am filled with joy when I consider you, the one I have made, the one I knitted and formed in your mother’s womb, assembling your parts and determining the color of your hair and your eyes, planning the path you would take and making preparation for what you would need at each point in your life.
Understand that I am capable of meeting your need, and know that I am not short on resources. Rest in My love, trust in My care, know that I am with you today, and remember that I change not.

May God be merciful to you when others hotly pursue you, pressing their attack all day long, slandering you and attacking you in their pride. Psalm 56

May you trust in God, Whose Word is worthy of praise, for mortal man can do nothing to you that you need to fear; though they twist your words and plot to harm you, conspiring and watching your steps as they lurk, on no account will God let them escape. He will bring down the powers that motivate and influence the people, and give the individuals a chance for repentance to receive forgiveness. Psalm 56

May you know that God is for you when your enemies turn back as you call for help. Psalm 56

May you not call “good” evil or “evil” good, but acknowledge the righteousness of God’s judgments, for only He knows the hearts, and His ways are not only holy, but also redemptive, not willing that any should perish. Numbers 16

May you be as willing, when directed by the Lord, as Aaron was when he ran toward the plague at the word of Moses, to step out in obedience for the sake of others, giving no thought of personal concern but trusting God to see you through to complete the work He has given. Numbers 16

May you be ready to seek God for those who contend against you and the work God has given you. Numbers 16:46-50

May your walk show the green leaves of new life ever-springing forth from the Spirit of Christ, bearing the beauty of the Lord and the fragrance of His love as the blossoms of the flower, and demonstrate the fruitfulness of the faithfulness of God as you maintain a consistent walk in His Spirit by His grace, that those around may see and have testimony to God’s keeping power and trustworthiness. Numbers 17

May you recognize the responsibility that comes with honor, and neither seek for what God has not prepared you for, nor envy what He has given to others, but simply draw close to the Lord in love and gratitude, humbling yourself in obedience to the task He gives you, allowing the Father to bestow His accolades in His time. Numbers 18

May you not seek after or strive for the increase of the world, for the Lord is your inheritance, eternal and indestructible, imperishable, precious beyond telling, over-flowingly sufficient for all needs, and greatly to be envied is any person who accepts and embraces this understanding, walking in the riches, authority, and power of the Father’s love. Numbers 18

My child, cast your cares upon Me when you call to Me.
Any time, day or night, I will hear your voice and ransom you unharmed from the struggle that rages around you. Although you fall in the midst of battle and are held, captive and wounded, in the enemy’s camp, although you feel as though you failed in your task, overcome by the powers you were confident you would prevail against and have victory over, you are still Mine and I am still with you, mighty to save.
I hear the words of the enemy, those authorities who have no fear of Me, and those principalities who never change their ways, I see the covenant-breaking intentions issuing from their war-filled hearts as they attack even their allies, and I hear their reviling words striking like swords from their mouths, flowing like oil, as smooth as butter, yet aimed for the heart.
I will afflict them, taking them by surprise, bringing them down before they have half-finished their plans, causing their hopes to perish and all their expectations to come to nothing, as I cast them down into the pit which is their lodging, which I have created for all corrupt, bloodthirsty, and deceitful powers, and those who persistently choose to be influenced by them.
But because you have trusted in Me, I will redeem you and heal you and raise you back up, sustaining you and not permitting you to remain where you fell, for you have been interceded for by your High Priest, the One Who has offered Himself as your ransom, and in the unity of the Trinity, We are One in Our agreement, and you are made acceptable in the Beloved. You are sheltered under the wings of Love, far from the terrors that assailed you and the horror that overwhelmed you.
Rest, My child, and know the comfort of My Spirit and see with your eyes the end of those who have eternally rejected Me, even as I plunder the enemy’s camp, gathering and restoring those held captive, who have hungered and thirsted for Me. Because the enemy laid their hands on you after I anointed you to proclaim the good news of the kingdom, I brought judgment, just and swift, upon them, releasing those who had lived for so long in darkness, and destroyed that stronghold which had stood for generations, resisting all until you were willing to go forth against them in My name, the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of heaven, and released My righteous indignation against the spiritual wickedness in high places.
You did not fail, My warrior, for you were obedient to the heavenly vision. Rest in Me, be renewed in My Spirit, for the harvest is great and the laborers are few.

When you find obstacles to observing traditional routines, may you turn to God and rely on Him in faith to remove them, for if you are hungry for life in Him, He will in love send His angels to remove the hindrance and reveal a more glorious truth, and give you a more joyous task. Mark 16

May you cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you, for He will never let the righteous fall; therefore you can trust in Him. Psalm 55

May you call to God when you are in distress evening, morning, or noon, for He hears your voice and will save you, ransoming you unharmed from the battle waged against you, though many oppose you, because God, Who is enthroned forever, will afflict those who have no fear of God and never change their ways. Psalm 55

May God hear your prayer and answer your plea, though your thoughts trouble you and you are distraught at the voice of the enemy, which brings down suffering upon you, and at the stares of the wicked, which revile you in their anger, and may He confuse the wicked and confound their speech. Psalm 55
