I have walked with you through the time of wilderness wandering, My child, and kept My hand upon you, drawing you from your former life and its appetites and cravings.
Carrying you to an isolated wilderness, My dear one, I have cared for you and provided for you all that you have needed. Though it takes many people to raise a child in the natural, I have been to you all that you have needed during this time: provider, guide, teacher, coach, encourager, advisor, watching over you and allowing no enemy to come near you during this time of shedding the old and gaining the new.
As you have dropped the burdens of the old ways, willingly for some and reluctantly for others, I have given you the tools you will need as you cross into your promised land, and taught you by small increments to be effective with them. Give diligence to what I have shown you and practice faithfully what you have learned that you may be fully-equipped and mature when you enter into battle with the giants to whom I bring you, for by your obedience, they will fall in defeat.
Seek Me for the courage to go boldly forward in the work I give, dwelling in and searching out both knowledge and understanding of My Word.
Practice temperance in body and soul, word and deed, not fearing to express any extreme in My service, at My leading, but remaining content to dwell in moderation.
Let patience develop within you, buttressed by faith in Me and resting on confidence in My Word, that you may endure affliction steadfastly without complaint to others or depression and doubt within.
Desire godliness as you once would have sought great gain, for unlike wealth it holds promise for both the present life and the life to come, if you do not deny the power that is inherent with it – the privilege of dwelling in My presence and in fellowship with the Father.
Walk in brotherly love toward all of God’s people, and express unto all men the compassionate mercy of God for each soul, for by these tokens will the world know that you are Mine, chosen and precious, beloved of the Father, having made sure your calling and election.
You do not travel this pathway alone, My precious one, for I have walked it before you, and the Comforter abides with you. All that you have need of is available upon request. Be strong, and of good courage, for you are well able to take the land.

May you give adoration to the Lord for His grace in accepting you into the family of God, redeeming you from the destruction that was your just reward, and give diligence to make your calling and election sure, walking in all He gives you and celebrating the diversity of the gifts He places in the Body of Christ. Romans 9

May you seek, in true desire of heart and humble sincerity of mind, the justification of God and the righteousness of the Lord, not by understanding and learning or by custom and tradition, but through faith in Christ Jesus, the Son of God, embracing the truth of the Word of God in trust and accepting the gift of the Spirit of God in belief that He will give only good things to all who come in the name of Jesus.

May you do what is good and right in the eyes of the Lord your God, as you choose to obey His leading to remove the foreign altars and cleanse the high places that are not God’s from your heart, smashing those things in your life that seek to share the affections and desires which rightfully belong to God. 2 Chronicles 14

May you seek the Lord your God and bring into alignment, obedience, and captivity, all high thoughts and exalting knowledge which distract and detract from the reverent fear and worshipful praise that is due to God Who is your source and provider, the One Who prospers you and gives you peace on every side. 2 Chronicles 14

May you turn to the Lord in your distress and search Him out with your whole heart, for He will be found when you do, since even though there is great turmoil around you, the Lord is with you when you are with Him, therefore you can be strong and not give up, for your work will be rewarded. 2 Chronicles 15

May you be strengthened by God’s words of encouragement, and be brave enough to remove from positions of influence in your life the detestable idols which are popular with other people, moving against public opinion and wide-spread agreement, and repair instead the holy place of the Lord in your heart. 2 Chronicles 15

Live in My Word, My child, each day, each moment. Store My Word in your heart, that you may be kept from sin, and meditate on it in your thoughts, for it is the power of God unto salvation to all who believe. My Word will be a lamp unto your feet, and a light unto your path, giving you direction and showing you the way to walk in.
Let My Spirit bring My Word back to your memory and equip you with the revelation of how to apply My active, living, breathing Word when you need strength, guidance, wisdom, discernment, authority, healing, deliverance, encouragement for yourself and for others, for you need the living Word, the dynamic Word, through relationship with Me.
The adversary knows the written Word, and quotes it, twisting it to his purposes, and in his hands, it steals joy, destroys hope, and deals death because he has rejected Me, the true Word of God.
As you study My Word, you learn My thoughts; as you meditate on My Word, you know My heart; as you pray My Word, you learn My strength and authority. Abide in Me, My dear one, so that you may accurately discern and pray the living Word.

May you not rest in or rely on natural connections with earthly sources, but strive for the spiritual connection with your heavenly Source, your Creator, Redeemer, and Father God. Romans 9

May the words of your mouth and the meditation of your heart be pleasing in the sight of the Lord, your Rock and Redeemer. Psalm 19

May you be blameless and innocent of great transgression as God forgives your hidden faults and keeps you from willful sins that they may not rule over you. Psalm 19

My child, seek My shelter in distress, trouble, or danger. Turn to Me when you are in need, for I have prepared what you have need of.
When Jonah ran from Me, he and all those with him experienced the storm of My displeasure. Jonah was resigned to a doom of his imagining but I had already prepared a place of safety, a time of refuge, and a method of transport to get him back on track in time to complete his assignment.
When David sought to escape from Saul’s death sentence, I protected him on his travels and sheltered him in his sojourns. David did not have advance knowledge of where Saul would search or how many men he would bring so he had to stay alert, using his wilderness skills to plan ahead and develop strategies. But he sought Me as he did so, and I honored his dependency on Me. He did not quietly, secretly, pray in his tent before the strategy meetings with his captains; rather, he announced it before all his men and publicly sought My answers for all to hear. And when his wisdom and decisions had him cornered, I responded to his need because he sought Me out beforehand.
When I saw the evil that was in men’s hearts in the generations of Adam after the fall in the garden, only one man turned and sought Me for direction with a willing heart. Noah was obedient to the task I gave him, refusing to be distracted as he persisted in the effort to realize the vision I had given him. After all the work was done by Noah and his sons, I am the One who closed the door and steered the craft. I kept it from running aground or getting shipwrecked in the rising water. I guided their shelter safely to its resting spot, upright, without collision.
My arm is not shortened, nor is My strength diminished, My child. I am there with you, My dear one, and I have prepared the protection you need. Turn to Me in trust; even if you were running like Jonah, I would not reject you, for you are graven on My palms. Make your plans and develop your strategies, My love, but let it be known that you are depending on Me for wisdom. I will keep you safe, whether you have a mountain between you and your enemy, or whether they have entered the mouth of the cave you are sheltering in. I am steering the ark of your sanctuary; you feed those I have put in your responsibility, and I will guide your craft clear of shipwreck. The knowledge of the glory of the Lord shall fill the earth as the waters cover the sea.

May you know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose, for those God foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of His Son, and those He predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified. Romans 8

May you rest in the knowledge that if God is for you, who can be against you? For He Who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also graciously give you all things? Who can bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? Since God justifies, who can condemn? Since it is Jesus Who died, and was raised to life, and is interceding for you at God’s right hand, who shall separate you from the love of Christ? Romans 8

May you be convinced that in trouble, hardship, persecution, famine, nakedness, danger, or sword that you are more than a conqueror through Him Who loves you, for neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate you from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8

When you pursue the spiritual adversaries of your soul, may you overtake them and not turn back till they are destroyed by crushing them so they cannot rise when Christ makes them fall beneath your feet. Psalm 18

May you destroy your spiritual foes when God arms you with strength for battle and causes your spiritual enemies to turn their backs in flight when they cry for help but discover there is no one to save them. Psalm 18

May you beat your spiritual foes as fine as dust borne on the wind and pour them out like mud in the streets, for God has delivered you from their attacks and put you in authority over the principalities, making them subject to the King of kings as they cringingly bow down in obedience when they come trembling from their strongholds. Psalm 18

May you give praise to your Rock, the Lord Who lives, and exalt God your Savior Who avenges you, subduing principalities and saving you from your enemies for He has exalted you above your foes and rescued you from violent men. Psalm 18

May you praise the Lord among the nations and sing praises to His name for He gives His favored great victories and shows unfailing kindness to His chosen. Psalm 18

May your relationships with people, places, and things be subordinate to your relationship with God, always checking that no matter how much you love them, that you love the Lord first and most, realigning any relationship that draws you from, or diminishes your love for, the Lord your God. 2 Chronicles 8

May you offer to the Lord daily the sacrifices of praise from a humble and contrite heart, which is His due, for from His hand daily come mercies renewed for you each morning, even your next breath and next heart-beat. 2 Chronicles 8

May you search the depths of the word of God for the riches of His grace and the knowledge of His nature, growing in wisdom and experience as you plumb the untrodden landscape of His compassion and experience the unseen vistas of His majesty, guided by the faithful leading of His Spirit of truth, laying up for yourself wealth in His kingdom, for where your treasures are, there your heart will be, also. 2 Chronicles 8, Luke 12

May you live in such close communion with God and walk in such a personal relationship with Christ that those who come to you, whether for help or in curiosity, will leave with more value than they brought. 2 Chronicles 9

May you know the pleasure that comes with the true wisdom from God, for it cannot be found in the wealth of the world or the enjoyment of things. 2 Chronicles 9

May you value and respect the wisdom found in the previous generation, even as you desire your children to receive and learn of the lessons you have gained benefit from, for God is the source of all understanding, which He gives liberally to any who ask for the sake of honoring the Lord and serving His people. 2 Chronicles 10, James 1

May you walk in the realization and the truth that you are no longer controlled by your sinful nature, but by the Spirit of God which lives in you once you have become a child of God. Romans 8

May you fulfill your obligation, not to the sinful nature, to live by it, nor to the enemy, to say, “yes,” to him, but to the Spirit of God, to walk as children of the Father. Romans 8

May it become real to you that if, by the Spirit, you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. Romans 8

Are you prepared to follow the heavenly vision, My child, as I reveal it to you in greater detail? Walking in it calls for frequent adjustment, and requires spiritual resources that I have prepared for you, but you must seek Me as you have not before. Your spirit is, indeed, willing and eager, but your flesh is contrary and weak; remain watchfully vigilant that you may not be distracted from a continually prayerful attitude.
By drawing near and remaining close to Me, you will hear the whispered encouragement of My Spirit giving you strength from My Word, and you will discern the shape of the enemy’s trap of temptation ahead. I have made a way of escape for you, but you must keep your eyes on Me; do not be overtaken by the cares of work in the world and look away from Me, or let the diversion of leisure lull you to sleep, lest you fall into the snare and your effectiveness be removed.
The patterns and forms that are set up in the world for the ministry by, and to, My people serve their purpose for the time they are needed, My habitual one, but My vision is a dynamic, developing, growing, maturing process. As you grow in your natural body, you exchange one set of clothes for another, and move from one level of lessons and practical work to another, although it is always centered on the chores about the house and helping each other in your family. So it is in My kingdom. When you feel the nudge of the Spirit and see the shift in your life, do not seek to hold on to the form or the pattern by which My Spirit has expressed the Father’s love through you in times past, lest you miss out on new depths and greater reaches of ministry to My Body’s members.
I am patient, My love, and I will walk with you through the new pathways as many times as you are willing to try, for I see your heart and I know your struggle. It is only when I see in the heart of one I strive with that the decision has been made to go no further that My Spirit lifts for a season, only to return when repentance and contrition has come. My Spirit will always direct you outward to reach others, My precious one, never drawing My people to turn inward to exclude or close out others from the riches of grace and loving acceptance which I have abundantly provided for My family.
Walk ever in the better way of love, extending service and ministry to others as servants for My sake, leading in love, but meek in ministry; not for the love of people, but for love of Me. For no matter whether others accept or reject you, I will always embrace you, just as I did when you were My enemy. That is the love that will see you through, and will not fail in your service to all.

May you cry, “Abba, Father,” through the Spirit of sonship given by the Father’s love for you, which banishes the spirit of fear which would try to enslave you again. Romans 8

May your spirit receive the testimony of the Spirit Himself that you are God’s children, and thus the Father’s heirs and Christ’s co-heirs, if indeed you share in His suffering in order that you may also share in His glory. Romans 8

May you consider that your present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in you, for even the creation waits eagerly for God’s children to take their place. Romans 8

May you anticipate, with hope and expectation, the time when creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God. Romans 8

May your enemy, who is too powerful for you, and your foes, which are too numerous for you, see the hand of God take hold of you and draw you out of deep waters. The Lord rescues you when His enemy confronts you in the day of your distress, and God brings you out into a large, safe place because He delights in taking pleasure in you. Psalm 18

May the Lord save you, as He does the humble, and may you see the faithfulness and purity of the Lord. Psalm 18

May the Lord keep your lamp burning as He turns your darkness into light, and help you advance against a troop when the enemy comes in like a flood. Psalm 18, Isaiah 59

May you take refuge in the Lord, Who is a shield to those who trust Him, for His way is perfect and His word is flawless. Psalm 18

May God arm you with strength and make your way perfect, giving you the agility of a deer and enabling you to stand on the high places. Psalm 18

May the God Who trains your hands for battle, and strengthens you to bend a bow of bronze, give you His shield of victory, sustaining you by His right hand as He stoops down to make you great. Psalm 18

Psalm 51:1 The psalmist wrote, “Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions.”

Romans 8:38-39 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

When trials, troubles, and tribulations arrive, whatever disaster or disease may come, may you make your prayer and plea to God, spreading your hands toward Him and confessing your afflictions and pains, for He is righteous and just, full of mercy and grace, hearing with forgiveness, dealing with each person according to all he does, for He alone knows the hearts of men, and teaching you to fear God and walk in all His ways. 2 Chronicles 6

When you are in a battle against principalities and powers, fighting wickedness in high places, waging war against the powers of the air, may your prayer to God and in His Name be heard and answered from heaven, upholding His cause. 2 Chronicles 6

When you stumble, and all of us do, may you pray to the Father in repentance with confession, turning back to God with all your heart and soul, for then He will hear from His dwelling place and uphold your cause, forgiving your trespass. 2 Chronicles 6

May you be clothed with salvation and rejoice in God’s goodness as the Lord arises and comes to His resting place with the ark of His might, for He will not reject His anointed one, remembering the great love He promised to His servant. 2 Chronicles 6

May your prayers be heard by God and open the doors of heaven for fire to come down, consuming the offerings and sacrifices you have laid out before Him as His glory fills the temple, and the Lord receives the worship. 2 Chronicles 7

May God’s people, who are called by His Name, humble themselves and pray, seeking His face and turning from their wicked ways, so that God will hear from heaven and forgive their sin and heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7

Do you seek to hear My voice, My child? Does your heart yearn to dwell in My sanctuary? Does your soul hunger to know My presence? I have said that he who has clean hands, and a pure heart, who has not set his mind on what is false nor sworn deceitfully, that is the one who may ascend into the hill of the Lord and stand in My holy place, receiving a blessing and vindication from Me.
Does your heart condemn you, My dear one? Is hope ebbing from your soul as you look at only the transgressions of the last week, or merely the last day? I, the One who created your heart, have more authority than your heart, and I know the intentions of your spirit as you attempt to be obedient to what I have shown you. I see your struggles, and I know your strength is not up to the task. Only One among all who have walked the earth in flesh has hands clean to qualify and a heart pure to stand before Me, though all mankind, since they are created in My image, desires to know their Creator.
Do you rejoice to behold My Son? Does your spirit leap when My Spirit reveals the redemption bought by the sacrifice of the Lamb? Does your heart bow in humility to acknowledge your need and receive the free gift of reconciliation? Look upon the Captain of your salvation, so filled with love for you that it demands action of Him, even His death on the cross; so filled with sorrow at your sin that bloody sweat falls to the ground from every pore.
Consider what He experienced on the cross if you would be freed of the burden of your troubles. Gaze at the wounds of His body and, through them, let the wounds of your heart and mind, and then body, be healed. Realize the depth of the humiliation and shame that He endured and, once you understand it was because of the value He places on you, then rise with the dignity of a child of God, showing respect for your Lord’s evaluation of your true worth, and walk in the assurance of His love and compassion for you, facing life today without fear.

May you know that as you allow the Spirit of Christ to dwell in you and Christ to reign over you, the power of sin to control you is broken. Romans 7

May you walk in the understanding that the influence of sin which dwells in your flesh is not ruling over you any more than dwelling in a city gives you rule over it, but by yielding to the saving and redeeming power of Christ you bring each thought and argument into subjection to the authority of Christ. Romans 7

May you continue to strive in the effectual power of the Spirit of God and the strengthening truth of the Word of God to resist, and to stand against the promptings of the flesh and influences of the carnal mind. Romans 7

May your earnest desire to obey the Lord draw you closer to Him while He purifies your heart and mind, allowing you to see more clearly the true repugnance of the evil and, for the love of the Savior, more willingly turn from it. Romans 7

May you realize that though you no longer serve your old master, the law of sin, which continually wars against the law of your mind, now cleansed and renewed by the Spirit of Christ, yet still you are unable, even at your best, to free yourself from it. Therefore regularly and frequently give humble and fervent thanks to God for Christ, your Deliverer, Who is your atonement and righteousness. For then, He will lift you into His freedom and give you His victory moment by moment while you depend on Him. Romans 7

May you always rejoice and be glad that through the Spirit of God, the law of love is written on your heart, and though the righteousness of the law is not fulfilled by you, yet it is, by God’s grace, fulfilled in you that God may receive the glory. Romans 8

May you call to the Lord and cry to your God for help when you are in distress, for from His temple, He will hear your voice and your cry will come before Him. Since you know that He hears you, you also know that He will give you what you ask for. Psalm 18, 1 John 5

Psalm 51:17 The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

My child, all shall know that I am the Lord.
My people, whom I have called by name and claimed as My own, who have willingly embraced My name and My nature as they walk in My redemption, will accept the work of the Spirit in laying aside the old self; they will receive the renewed mind of Christ, putting on the new self created in righteousness and true holiness.
As you grow in your love for Me, which is a reflection of My deep and abiding love for you, the laying down and casting aside of your old way of life will not be painful, but will be an expression of your joy at gaining the acceptance and approval of the Father through Me.
The people of the world, though they have the witness of My creation in all of nature, do not seek in their hearts to know Me. They will, however, still come to the knowledge of who I am; as they are led and influenced by the spirit of this world to resist My will and My work as it is done by My people, My outstretched arm against them will reveal the truth of My presence and glory.
I will make a distinction between My people, who bear in their hearts My law and the scars of their willing submission to the circumcision by My word, and those in the world, who have not yet submitted, neither by bowing their knees nor confessing with their mouth the truth of who I am.
The judgments that I bring upon the citizens of the earth, thundering over their heads and darkening their skies, will destroy what they have gathered and take what they hold dear in this world. This will be done in mercy to awaken their spirits to their danger and raise questions in their heart about the lies they have been told, giving them one more chance to seek Me. When they do, My child, remember that I have placed you where they can find you; do not condemn them, My dear one, or despise them, but in compassion toward them, testify of Me in loving truth and accepting grace.
Do not fear the expressions of My control over the earth, the weather, the seas, the water on the land and the plants of the field, even the systems of man with their finances, products, technology, and communication. I am drawing the final harvest of those who will turn to me, dividing the sheep from the goats.
Know that My convincing power will go forth over all the earth, and My Holy Spirit will speak to all hearts through the declaration of the gospel, until all nations bow themselves at My name and call Me Lord.

May the desire of your heart, in humility, be for the wisdom and knowledge to do the task God has given you rather than to receive the benefits of position and power. 2 Chronicles 1

May you walk close to God, seeking His will and expressing His love, for when your thoughts are on the Lord and your deeds reflect the Father, others will listen to your words as they declare the heart of God. 2 Chronicles 2

Just as the love of God was shown to the Israelites by His gift to them of Solomon, who ruled in wisdom and whose kingdom brought peace and richness of life to them, so may you begin to understand the depth of the value He places on His people by giving His Son, Jesus, to redeem them from the enemy and establish them in His kingdom with all the wisdom and power of His Spirit, the strength and truth of His Word, and riches of all spiritual gifts in the heavenlies that His will may be established on earth as it is in heaven. 2 Chronicles 2

The goal of those in the world is pleasure, My child. Some seek to achieve it through power, some through riches, some through skills and talents, others simply through experiences and circumstances; but all desire to know the joys and delights that the soul of man hungers for. Each one struggles to gain self-satisfaction and to feel self-sufficient, but the sweetness turns bitter in their throat as soon as they achieve what they sought.
The ruler of this world has lied to them, making them believe that what appeals to the flesh and to the natural mind will satisfy the inner man, when in truth, that which is taken from others, by stealth, force, fear and coercion is only ashes and dust, leaving the receiver in greater hunger and despair than before.
Be not of the world, My child, even as I am not of the world. I was anointed by the Father with the Holy Ghost and power for the work I was assigned and predestined to do, and I went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil.
When My work at Calvary was completed, having defeated death, hell, and the grave, I became your advocate, your high priest, pure, blameless, undefiled by all I had passed through, even though I was despised and forsaken by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.
Be wise, My child, and understand that the way to receive lasting joy is through giving, not hoarding, and through laying down, not picking up. Though it is not what your experience in the world has shown you, it is the enduring principle of My kingdom. Simply by walking in obedience to My leading and humbly accepting My nature, you will see this change take place in your heart toward others.
Your study of My Word will begin to open your eyes to see in eternity. Learn that it is in service that you will be exalted, and it is in obedience that you learn authority. When you realize the depth and extent of your dependence on Me, even to the next breath and for each heartbeat, then praise will be your response to My grace, and worship will pour forth from your heart.
As you see how devastatingly immense your need is, you will find how incomprehensibly abundant My willing provision is. It is in your boasting of Me, My child, that you will find My joy in you.

May you take refuge in the Lord, Who will keep you safe, for apart from Him you have no good thing. Psalm 16

Though you are spotted with the results of your fleshly nature, My child, you are still Mine. Though the reminders of your old life are still around you, My dear one, you are seated in the heavenlies.
The fact that a pebble picked up from the ground where it has been stepped on and trodden down is covered with dirt and has a surface marred with pits and flaws in no fashion changes the substance of the pebble, whether it is sandstone or diamond.
I have made you a new creation, My precious one. My nature is in you now; My Spirit dwells with you today. My workmanship is not shoddy, nor is it lacking in skill or the power to express that skill.
Trust Me to complete that work which I started in you long ago, My treasured one. Accept the work in your life that is being done through the suffering of circumstances and the work of My Word in your life as the tables of your heart, the epistle of your life, shows My love written large for others to see, and marvel, and come to understand what I can do for them.
I am transforming you into My image, and you will be a precious jewel in My crown.

May you join the company of the righteous who take refuge in God from evildoers who reject the advice of the oppressed and frustrate the recommendations of the poor, shaming the humble who trust in God. Psalm 14

May you be a willing and eager spokesman to the people under the supervision of the King. 1 Chronicles 25

May you prove capable in the responsibilities of stewardship over the abundant provision of Christ in your life, that others may be blessed in their walk, strengthened in their battles, and encouraged in their growth as you share the oil, the salt, the flour, and the wine from the storerooms of your heart where the Spirit of God dwells. 1 Chronicles 26

Defend your dependence, My child, and do not let the enemy steal it from you. Increase your dependence upon Me, My dear one, for that is how you grow and mature in My Spirit. The way of man is to be strong; he seeks to win his way to his goal by his strength, and to achieve his vision by his skill.
Not so in My kingdom, My willing one, for Mine is a kingdom of weak and broken people, cast-offs from the world, pushed to the side because they didn’t fit or couldn’t maintain the pace the taskmasters demanded, burned out by obeying the never-ending and ever-increasing demands to drive themselves for perishable purposes.
I willingly receive all who confess their weaknesses and admit their short-comings, for I am more than adequate to meet their needs. Your greatest asset in My kingdom is your lack of what you need, and your shortage of what is necessary to succeed.
Only by turning to Me to receive the faith to believe will you have the essentials to find the salvation you require. This, in turn, opens up all the riches of heaven to become productive and useful in My work, and perform skilled and delicate labor in My harvest fields, rescuing and retrieving the souls of those in need.
You will never be complete and fully sufficient apart from Me for it is in Me that you live and move and have your being. So do not attend to any suggestion that you are strong enough now to go out on your own, or that you have the wisdom now to make the right choices yourself.
Continually reaffirm in your heart and in prayer to the Father that your needs exceed your abilities, that you are broken beyond your skill to repair, and that if you were to go a day without My Spirit bringing you life and My Word giving you strength, you would fall with no hope of rising, for he who thinks he stands should take heed lest he fall.
Know, My precious one, that when I give you a task to perform, I go with you, for I am that supply that you need in order to do the work. Know, My weary one, that when I give you a burden in prayer, that I am preparing the answer even before you pray, and that however long I ask you to persist in that prayer, I am attending to the response that is required.
So do not give up and do not quit, for I am with you each step of the way. Depend fully upon Me.

May you work with an eager heart and willing hands at whatever task is given you, delighting greatly in God’s work and being satisfied in the blessing of God’s presence, for even the sons of Moses were simply counted among the Levites. 1 Chronicles 23

Be not circumscribed by your own boundaries, My child, or limited by your own understanding. Rather, let the life-giving flow of the Spirit fill you with the heavenly vision that I grant to each one willing to look up to Me and to look out from themselves.
In springtime the bud swells and grows on the plant when the life rises from the root. The buds open into the leaves that bring healing and produce the flowers whose fruit brings life to others. Even so, abide in Me as the True Vine, receiving the ministry of the Spirit and the life of the Word to share with those I bring you to.
Recall, My child, that I did not receive the in-dwelling of the Spirit and the anointing of the Father to live to Myself in a quiet corner of the land; instead, I addressed the congregations of the faithful and spoke in the market-places of the cities to those who would listen. I did not remain in the obscurity of My “father’s” carpentry shop but stepped out into the work My Father assigned Me.
As you seek Me in prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, My peace, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your heart and mind. With My peace bringing quiet and rest to your thoughts and emotions, you will be able to hear the soft, gentle whisper of My Spirit giving the direction and the leading for the next step. In trust and confidence you can move forward, not looking back, but setting your mind on the things that are above.
Be sober of spirit and alert of mind, for not all to whom you speak will be in agreement with the words that I give. My words, since they are Truth, bring division and polarization because My Spirit, watching over My Word to perform it, convicts the hearers of sin and righteousness and judgment. Those who know the fear of God and who hunger for the righteousness of Christ will answer the call, but those who prefer the darkness will allow the adversary to influence their words and deeds to move against all who bear My name.
Do not be afraid or allow yourself to be distracted, but stay fixed on the heavenly vision and calling you have received. As you persist in the work and endure to the end, you will find that though the way to the crown is through the cross, My grace is sufficient.
Reach out, My dear one, beyond yourself, and meet Me where the paths of others cross yours.

May you know the fear of God and keep it before your eyes so that you may find the way of peace as you seek God and His understanding, lest ruin and misery mark your way as it does for those without hope. Romans 3

Romans 3

May you always hold the Word of God dear to your heart and ever consider the laws of God holy, for He Who has left the sins you committed beforehand unpunished to demonstrate His justice, has expressed His faithful nature and exposed His caring heart in the scriptures He has given. Romans 3

May the Lord help when the godly are not to be seen and the faithful have vanished from among men, for then lies and deception are found everywhere, and men will claim to control their own lips and be their own masters until God cuts them off, for the words of the Lord are flawless like silver purified seven times, refined in a clay furnace. Psalm 12

May the Lord keep you safe and protect you forever from those who malign you because the wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men. Psalm 12

May you give praise to God and extend thanks to the Lord for an insightful, prudent, and understanding spouse. Proverbs 19:14

May you agree with the Holy Spirit, yielding and cooperating with His work, as He changes you from the inside out. Romans 2

Do not fear the emotions you feel, My child, or seek to deny them, for that will inevitably lead you to greater turmoil. I have created you to be an emotional being, for you are made in My image, and I communicate with you through emotions.
Who has not felt awe when glimpsing My majesty and power as illustrated by My creation, revealing the invisible characteristics of My nature by their visible manifestation?
My love is what has drawn you to Me, even as you were working against My kingdom, for what comes from the heart speaks to the heart, creating faith within you.
My anger, when revealed against those who persistently and, by choice of lifestyle, continually break My laws and reject My commands, produces fear and trembling in the minds of those who see its expression.
My jealousy is hot against those who call themselves by My name but give the worship and praise which is due Me, their Creator, to some part of My creation, rejecting the One Who made them.
My joy is poured forth on all who faithfully seek Me, for when they find Me our fellowship is sweet and hope becomes reality as confidence increases.
Emotions are tied to circumstances but extend beyond them, My dear one. They are part of relationship, not of decision-making. I supply the wisdom and understanding, the direction and guidance needed for making choices in your life.
The flesh knows emotions, and the enemy knows emotions, and all will try to communicate with you through your emotions. By keeping your heart pure before Me and your attention on Me, you can know Me closely and intimately, recognizing when that which is not of Me enters the picture.
Walk in My truth and wisdom, My precious one, but do not be afraid to talk in My love and act in My compassion as My Spirit directs you. There is much more to knowing Me than simply emotion, but if you fear your feelings and turn them off, there is so much less that I can be for you than you need.
Receive My love, and walk in My truth.

May you rejoice as your heart receives the Word of God, understanding the priceless treasure you are being given, and sharing with others the beauty of the One Who has loved you so. Romans 3

May you confess that there is no one like the Lord, and there is no God but Jehovah, Who has gone forth to redeem you for Himself and to make a name for Himself, performing great and awesome wonders by driving out His enemies from before you, whom He has made His very own forever. 1 Chronicles 17

May you not pass judgment on someone else lest you condemn yourself, for you partake the same sinful nature as the one you judge, and when you do, you are rejecting God’s goodness, restraint, and long-suffering which leads you to repentance. Romans 2

May you accept all who come your way in the compassion and grace of God which He has bestowed on you, who partake in the same sinful nature as they do, for God’s judgment, held in reserve until His chosen time, is based on truth, and if you reject any by judging them unworthy of God’s kindness, tolerance and patience which leads to repentance, how will you escape His judgment? Romans 2

Hide away with Me, My child, in your innermost heart as you go about your day discharging your responsibilities, both in the world and with your family. Be shut in with Me in a secret place shedding the world, its cares, and all of its impositions with which it seeks to weigh you down and distract you from turning your eyes upon Me.
Cultivate the process and practice the habit of coming before Me, washed and cleansed in the Spirit and the Word, keeping the door to My presence unblocked and cleared so that when you hear the whisper of the Spirit drawing and inviting you, the way is known and straight, without obstacles, without disorientation.
Just as King David assigned Asaph to lead his brethren and associates in praise and worship before My ark in Jerusalem regularly according to each day’s requirements so, too, let My tabernacle be established in your heart before which you can come in thanks, praise, worship and exultation, regardless of what is going on around you.
Pray without ceasing, giving thanks always to Me for all things, knowing in faith that My will shall be established and My Word is greater than circumstances. No matter what happens, when you praise Me in the secret place of your heart, My power is released to bring victory, just as I did at the cross. The events did not change but the result was redemptive for all people, making salvation available.
Just as Paul’s trip to Jerusalem caused him to be bound, jailed, taken to Rome, and there killed, through his trust of and praise to Me political and religious leaders heard the Gospel and were touched, and My revelations to him have reached the world for millennia.
That which is done in secret, My child, will not remain hidden; what is whispered in darkness will be proclaimed from the rooftops. Let it be that which will glorify Me, so that your reward may be sure. Worship Me in the stillness and sanctuary of your heart, My child, and you will have My words to speak to others when you need them.

I, the Lord thy God, am the judge of the living and the dead, My child. I judge according to the heart, and not by the outward appearance, nor by the words, nor by the deeds; My judgement is made according to each heart’s motivation for what is said and done.
I judge fairly, without influence from bribes, for who can offer Me, their Creator, anything I do not have? I judge righteously, without influence from power, for who can threaten Me, the King of kings?
My judgments are true, My questioning one, for My attention does not wander, nor do I grow bored, neither do appetites distract Me.
My judgments are not to be feared, My precious one, for there are two sides to each issue. When you have humbled yourself before Me, realizing your need, and accepting My salvation into your life, you no longer stand against Me, but start aligning with My will and abiding in My blessings.
I resist the proud and arrogant, the disdainful and self-sufficient, for they resist My purpose and oppose My will, receiving for themselves My righteous anger. They cannot harm Me nor diminish Me, but in their blindness and lusts, they seek to consume those who look to Me for protection.
The weak I judge to be worthy of strong defense, My concerned one, so rejoice in your weakness, while those who claim to be strong need to fear.
The poor I judge to deserve the payment of their debts, so be glad, My dear one, to know that the eternal riches of heaven are yours, freeing you from your debt of sin which you could not pay, while those who have extorted the wages of others will suffer loss.
You are not the judge, My learning one, for you do not yet see truly nor do you understand fully. You are, however, My hand outstretched, executing My judgments. This is the work to which I call you, My eager one.
Go forth in My power, My willing one. Lift up the fallen with My love, binding their wounds; demonstrate My compassion to the discouraged, easing their load; share the sorrows of those who mourn, bringing My comfort; encourage those who seek to follow the path I lead them on, sharing My strength.
The time will come when the iniquity of the world is full and all decisions have been made. The anger of My judgment, then, will be poured out. But now is still the time, My tender one, of seeking and drawing, of meekness toward all, that whosoever will, may come.
Share My judgments of love and redemption, grace and mercy, with all while there is still time, seeking that none should perish. All too soon this period of grace will be completed and night will fall, when no man can work.

May you sing to the Lord of all that earth and proclaim His salvation day after day, declaring His glory among the nations and His marvelous deeds among all peoples for the Lord is great and most worthy of praise, and greatly to be feared above all powers and principalities.. 1 Chronicles 16

May you come to understand that since the creation of the world, God’s invisible qualities, such as His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen and been understood from what has been made, but although they knew God and are without excuse, they neither glorified Him as God or gave thanks to Him, and therefore their thinking became futile and their hearts darkened. Romans 1
