Deuteronomy 8:17-18 You may say to yourself, “My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.” 18 NIV But remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms His covenant, which He swore to your forefathers, as it is today.

May you respond joyfully and with alacrity to the Spirit’s call, seeking you out and drawing you together with others for celebration and dedication in the work of His kingdom. Nehemiah 12

May God remember you and show mercy to you according to His great love, for shutting out and rejecting those distractions which pull you away from honoring the Lord, and turning away from those activities that prevent you from sanctifying Him in the beauty of His holiness. Nehemiah 13

May God remember you with favor as you set the house of God, your thoughts and feelings and will, in order, cleansing them of everything foreign, which is not of His kingdom, accepting the discipline and chastening of the Word through the Spirit. Nehemiah 13

May you willingly, with deep, joyful acceptance, embrace and desire the call to assemble as the bride of Christ, acknowledging Jesus as head over you, learning to minister to fellow-members in prayer and prophecy, uplifting and encouraging each other, under His authority and not your own or any other’s, understanding that you are to show forth His glory, for you came from Him and are made for Him. 1 Corinthians 11

Rejoice in My mercy, My child, and exult in My grace in your life. Be thankful for My compassions toward you and express your praise to Me for My acceptance of you. The truth of your sin and weakness has been met by, and reconciled in, My loving gift of salvation which brings you into My righteousness and delivers you from the power of the enemy. Let worship spring up from your heart as a result of My faithful love which never fails and My steadfast kindness which never ceases.
Before Abraham was, I am. Because I am the eternal God, My tender mercy is without end, as well. For every mercy you see in your life, if you look closer, you will see a dozen more that accompany it. These are undeserved on your part, but they are My pleasure and joy to give. I do not recall your sins, once forgiven, My child, or hold them over your head; you are accepted in Me before the Father, and given the privileges of family.
Never forget, though, to give the reverence due to the One Who created you, died for you, and undeservedly saved you. Let not these magnificent gifts and this unparalleled love be disdained or become common in your sight, but give honor to the One Who bore the pain and paid the price which you could not, then sought you when you resisted Him, and accepted you when you stood in enmity against Him.
Let My acceptance bear fruit in your life, My precious one, and walk confidently in the knowledge of My care and provision. Learn ever more of Me from My Word and walk ever deeper in the wisdom and understanding from My Spirit. Know My voice and be led by My heart; speak life and encouragement to others as I use you in My work.
As you ask of the Father in My Name, humbly secure in My righteousness and meekly obedient in My authority, I will watch over My word to perform it in your life. Thus will you be My witness to the world, bearing the light of My glory as the shadows gather and lengthen during this time of great harvest.

May you call to the Lord in times of trouble, for He will contend with those who contend with you, fighting against those who fight against you, and the Lord will be the salvation of your soul. Psalm 35

May your soul rejoice in the Lord when the angel of God drives away those who plot your ruin, like chaff before the wind. Psalm 35

May you delight in the salvation of the Lord as the angel of God pursues those who seek your life, making their path dark and slippery. Psalm 35

May your whole being exclaim to the Lord, “There is none like you!” for He rescues the poor from those too strong for them, causing His foes to fall into the pit they dug without cause. Psalm 35

May you turn to God when you are attacked by the spiritual powers who rob the poor and needy, for He will cause those principalities to be entangled in the net they hid without cause and ruin will overtake them by surprise. Psalm 35

May you humble yourself with fasting when illness strikes those who slander you, who gather in glee when you stumble, for God will vindicate you before those who repay you evil for good. Psalm 35

May you be rich in the joy of the Lord and may the wine and the oil of the Spirit be your heart’s desire, for there is nothing of earth that is half so precious. Proverbs 21:17

May you seek to walk in the way of righteousness through Christ and allow the Spirit of God to transform your heart with uprightness, for then you will not suffer the wrath of God which is reserved for the stiff-necked and rebellious who persistently and unyieldingly reject the wooing and drawings of God. Proverbs 21:18
