May you obey the Lord in all He directs, so that others may “hear” the Lord speaking to them by all that they see you doing, for then they will understand that He is the Lord. Ezekiel 12
May you know that the day is near when every vision, every word, every promise will be fulfilled without delay, and no more will people say that things continue just as they always have as the days go by. Ezekiel 12 2 Peter 3:1-9
May you search out the mind of God and draw near the heart of God in order to speak forth the truth of God which He gives you for His people, for He will watch over His Word which you speak in obedience, and will fulfill it in the sight of the hearers so that they will know that He has sent you when it accomplishes what He desires and achieves the purpose He determines. Ezekiel 13, Jeremiah 1, Isaiah 55
May you strengthen God’s people with His words of truth, that they may be able to stand firm on His promises when the enemy attacks like a storm. Ezekiel 13
May you speak the truth of God to those around you so that the righteous will walk in the joy of the Lord and stand in confidence on His promises, not struggling with condemnation but strengthened by the knowledge of His love for them, while the wicked learn the need to turn from their ways so they can live, and not die. Ezekiel 13
Know, My child, that the life led by My Spirit is one filled with close and intimate relationship with Me. It will be expressed internally in your heart’s frequent and deep conversations with Me, and it will also be fulfilled by receiving My ministry through the vessels I choose. You must cast aside your stereotypes of what My children look and sound like, for I accept all who come to Me.
I accept the slave as he is, for he has learned the lessons of humility and obedience, and I can teach him to walk in the liberty of spiritual authority without him grasping it as his own.
I accept the free man as he is, for when he has learned to treasure and desire the loving guidance and direction of My Spirit, he will already know the responsibilities and obligations of one who exercises authority.
When I bring you to one who looks different from you and bears different scars from life than you, do not discount what he has to say or reject the prayer he makes for you. He has already learned truth of Me that you have need of, just as you have covered spiritual ground in your journey with Me that he has not.
The witness of the Spirit inside of you, if you quench it not, will receive from Me, through the other, what each has need of to conquer your current battle as an overcomer.
Love each one, My dear one, with a generous and open hand, for as you give mercy to those you meet, you will reap mercy in time of need.
May you know that for those who wittingly set up idols in their hearts in the place of reverence to God, and persistently choose their own righteousness and devices over the path of righteousness in the Word, there is no word from God but “Repent of your abominations and live!” and no counsel from the Spirit but “Turn away from your detestable idols lest you die!” Ezekiel 14
May you be able to look beyond the traditions which have sustained and motivated the people of the Lord through years past, and see to the truth of the origins when the Lord does a new thing in the world. Hebrews 7, Isaiah 43
May you rejoice that your great High Priest, Jesus Christ, has not attained to the office because of tradition or regulation, but holds the position and fulfills the responsibilities toward us by the strength of His power and the motivation of His love, and is accepted by the Almighty God, before Whom He ministers, by the holiness of His works. Hebrews 7
May you ask God for your needs, and may you thank God for His provisions, for He is the One Who made the way for you and remembered His holy promises regarding you, bringing you out of your situation with rejoicing and shouts of joy, making you heir of what you did not work for, that you might be a witness for Him by keeping His precepts and observing His commands. Psalms 105
