May you press in, with a sense of desperation, to know the Lord and to walk in His wisdom, for the hour is late and you will need His understanding to know how to do the good that will testify to others of the love and goodness, acceptance and mercy of the Lord when dark and difficult times come into people’s lives.

Jeremiah 5

May you hear the warning of the Lord without offense, and may you listen to the Word of the Lord with joy, understanding the seriousness of His charge and the deep, desperate need for healing in the people, but knowing His power to save and the strength of His truth to set free, so that the desire for gain and the practice of deceit, which is the target of God’s wrath, may be removed far from the hearts of the people. Jeremiah 6

My child, the salvation you have received from My hand is much more than the feeling of joy that fills your heart in My presence and relief from the burden of sin and fear which is removed from your life. That is your experience of salvation, but know that My salvation is so much more than your experience. It is not an idea you suggested to Me and I agreed to.
The Godhead, in entirety, from eternity past, has devised and agreed upon the parts We each would fill and the costs We each would pay to see the vastness of the reach and the immensity of the depth of the concept come to pass. Such an idea had never been conceived that Divine Holiness would redeem fallen creation by discharging the debt in full and join together Creator and creation.
You are an integral part, My precious one, of the plan that is beyond the scope of your imagining. You are being trained, My dear one, in ways you do not understand for work so much larger than you know so that in time you will eventually grasp the shape of it.
Remain focused on Me, My love, and simply reject the accusations of unworthiness and thoughts of doubts that flit around you. Do not be distracted by them, for you know their source; they can do you no harm for you are sealed by My Spirit to show My ownership. The only purpose they serve is to draw your focus from what the Spirit is saying to your heart by causing you to beat the air ineffectually.
You are Mine. Hear My Word. I will direct you when it is time to fight; until then, learn of Me, My redeemed one, for I have much to tell you.

Jeremiah 2

May you call the Lord “Father” and follow after Him in trust and obedience, for He will gladly treat you like favored children, giving you choice blessings, the most beautiful inheritance. Jeremiah 3

May you come daily, closer, to the Lord your God, in Whom is your salvation, turning from the idolatrous commotion of the world, which is deception, and turning with your heart, in a truthful, just and righteous way to the Lord, for He will bless the nations and in Him they will glory. Jeremiah 3,4

May you break up the unplowed ground of your rebellious will and do not waste good seeds among the thorns, but circumcise your heart, genuinely dedicating yourself to the Lord and getting rid of everything that hinders your commitment to Him, to prevent His anger from blazing up like a flaming fire that no one can quench. Jeremiah 4

My child, when you come before Me to intercede in prayer, know that you are entering in the Holy of Holies in spirit, into My inner chamber, drawing near to Me as I sit in My robes of judgment on My throne of authority.
Understand that you are in the presence of the awesome majesty that is greater than all of creation and the brilliant, pure holiness that outshines the brightest source of light man can know, penetrating beyond the posture of humility and the words of submission to the purpose of heart and motive of mind.
Do not think to bring personal agendas for religious rubber-stamping, and do not seek approval of pet projects. Empty your hands of your own works, clear your thoughts of your own rights, cleanse your heart of your own desires before the threshold. The flesh has no place in the eternity of My presence.
As you enter into My presence through the washing of the Word, by the atoning of the Blood, bearing only the sacrificial gift of a humble and yielded spirit with the incense of a chastened and repentant heart, I will give you the burden to intercede for.
As you bend your will to align with Mine, I will use you in prayer, in devotion, in mercy, in good works that I have planned out and created you to do in spiritual warfare and intercession. I will make you fruitful and productive in your going out and your coming in.
But you must be willing to leave that in which you glory outside of the Holy of Holies, and enter with nothing but an emptiness and a hunger for Me to fill. You must bear only My glory before men as you go forth by the leading of My Spirit to heal the brokenhearted and bind up the wounded, shining like the eternal city not made by hands, situated on top of a hill.
My own right hand and holy arm will obtain the victory in all I send you to do.

May you possess the faith in Christ Jesus and the love for all the saints which spring from the hope that is stored up for you in heaven and that you have already heard about in the word of truth, the gospel that you have received, which is bearing fruit and growing since the day you understood God’s grace in all its truth.

Colossians 1

May you know God, resplendent with light, more majestic than mountains rich with game, Whose Name is great in the land and Whose dwelling place is established, where He broke the power of the weapons of war and pronounced judgment from heaven, causing the land to quiet itself in the fear of the Lord, for His wrath against men brings Him praise and the survivors of His wrath are restrained.

Isaiah 40:28 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and His understanding no one can fathom.

2 Corinthians 6:17-18; 7:1 … I will receive you. I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters … Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

May you not be afraid of any to whom the Lord sends you, but go to them and say whatever He commands you, for before He formed you in the womb, He knew you and before you were born, He set you apart for the work He has appointed you to, therefore He is with you and will put His words in your mouth. Jeremiah 1

May you know that the Lord is watching over His Word, which He gives you to speak, to fulfill it, as nations and kingdoms are uprooted and torn down, destroyed and overthrown, built up and planted. Jeremiah 1

May you get ready to stand up and speak to others the words He commands you, not allowing yourself to be terrified by those who worship what their hands have made, or He will terrify you before them, for He has made you a fortified city, an iron pillar, a bronze wall, to stand against all, rich or poor, educated or not, weak or strong, who turn away from God’s ways and fight against you, but you have the Lord’s promise that they will not overcome you, for He is with you and will rescue you. Jeremiah 1

May you always ask, “Where is the Lord Who sought me, saving me from my sins, redeeming my life through His grace, and doing mighty deeds by His powerful mercy,” seeking God’s face daily to remind Him of His promises, and recall for yourself His goodness, that you may walk ever in a freshness of devotion and love for your King and Savior. Jeremiah 2

May you consider and realize how blessed and sweet it is for you when you worship the Lord your God and walk in the reverent awe of, and the respectful obedience to, the Lord Almighty, for He will bring you to drink from His spring of living water, and never allow you to become plunder, driving away the threats that would steal and spoil the blessings He has given you. Jeremiah 2

May you keep your face to the Lord, never turning away, but watching as a servant for the slightest signal of your Master’s hand, to be immediately obedient to the will of your beloved Owner, embracing the restrictions and boundaries placed for your safety, learning the protocols and methods of honoring your Lord, submitting and yielding to the purifying and cleansing that prepares you for service in His household after dwelling outside in the wild, so that you may leave behind the former shame and never feel disgrace as you live and work henceforth in His service. Jeremiah 2

My child, as you learn of My word, learn of Me. As you read the scriptures, let them point you to Me. Let the Spirit of God reveal Me, the life-giver, in the passages and from the pages, lest all you have at the end is a perfect memory of a dead letter by which you would minister death through anger and disdain.
Let your seeking in My word bring your heart to an overwhelming understanding of the compassion and mercy I have for you—a revelation of My desire for you—that softens your heart and turns your feet toward Me until you cannot halt the flow of praise and thanksgiving from your innermost being, streaming unchecked from your mouth, your hands, your choices, your conversation, your dealings with other people.
As you grasp the enormity of the depth and width and height and breadth of the value I place on you, My beloved, I want you to know first-hand how much I cherish the next person, as well. I would have you to see in them, no matter what they have said or done to you or yours, as they have done to Me and Mine, the eternal value I have placed on them. That is what causes Me to pursue them though they reject Me time and again.
You are My joy, My dear one, for your rejection of My gift has ended, and you have accepted My sin-removing grace and My life-altering love; they, too, may repent and be rescued when I send you to them.
Do not turn from My assignment or pre-sentence them to doom.

May you rejoice in the Lord always, and I say it again, rejoice, letting your gentleness be evident to all, for the Lord is near and you have no need to be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God, for the peace of God which transcends all understanding, will guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4

May you put into practice whatever you have learned or received or heard from, or seen in, those who have shared God’s truth with you as you think on whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent or praiseworthy, so that the God of peace may be with you. Philippians 4

May you learn the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want, remaining steadfast and obedient to the Lord whether you have need or abundance, for you can do everything through the Lord Who gives you strength, and He will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4

May you give thanks to God, for His Name is near, and tell of His wonderful deeds, for it is He Who chooses the appointed time and judges rightly, holding the pillars of the earth firm when the world and all its people quake. Psalm 75

May you forever declare that it is God Who judges, bringing one down and exalting another for He will cut off the power of all the wicked but the strength of the righteous will be lifted up, and they will sing praise with you to the God of Jacob. Psalm 75

May you not rejoice with your lips when the person who hates you stumbles, and do not let your heart be glad when your obnoxious neighbor is in distress, but meet their needs in God’s love and show His compassionate mercy in their distress, for the Lord is more concerned with shaping your spirit than punishing your enemy.

May you be willing to become a part of the temple in which the Spirit of the Lord will dwell, Whose throne is heaven and Whose footstool is the earth, by answering when He calls and listening when He speaks, for God esteems the one who is humble and contrite for their sins, and reveres what He has to say.

May you be willing to be sent to those who have not heard the fame of the Lord or seen the glory of God, proclaiming His honor to them and bringing brothers to the Lord’s temple as clean vessels bearing offerings of praise. Isaiah 66

May you view whatever was to your profit to now be loss for the sake of Christ, considering everything worthless compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus your Lord, for whose sake all things are considered rubbish, that you may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having a righteousness of your own, but that which is through faith in Christ. Philippians 3

I have called you, My child, to give up that which would recommend you to the world, releasing your status and position, your desires and plans, emptying yourself of what you take pride in so that you may carry My glory rather than your own.
Just as I came to earth, lowly in form and unremarkable in circumstance so that I may draw those who are lowly of heart and humble of thought, so also you are to seek those whose lives have been limited by spiritual shackles and proclaim liberty to those whose way has been barred by fear.
Do not judge by the outward appearance, My dear one, for it has often been marred by the enemy of their soul, even as I was. Move among them in the meekness of My love, not casting stones or calling down condemnation, for that is the way of My adversary.
The same as I have loved you when you were against Me, so you are to love those who are still led by the enemy, and be kind to those who are willing to be influenced by the father of lies. Have you been harmed more than I was? Have I not been with you each step of the way, bringing the comfort and balm of My Spirit to your heart?
Release your pain to Me, My cherished one, for I can bear it. Relinquish your anger to Me, for it does not frighten Me. Open your heart to the Holy Spirit of truth and allow the root of bitterness to be removed, for the enemy rejoices when he can plant such a poisonous seed in fertile ground.
This is My work in your life, My child. Yield to it that you may be made ready for all that I have prepared for you. I have called you to be gentle shepherds to My lost sheep, gathering them back into the fold, mindful of their wounds and gentle in dressing their injuries.
Even so, as you yield to Me in this work, I will prepare you to be like Me when I return, victorious in battle and mighty in power, conquering evil and overcoming wickedness, effectual in righteousness and justice, yet tempered in mercy and compassion. You must know how to obey before you can command.

May your desire be to know Christ and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in His sufferings, becoming like Him in His death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead, pressing on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of you. Philippians 3

May you forget what is behind and strain toward what is ahead as you press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called you heavenward in Christ Jesus, a point of view that all who are mature should take. Philippians 3

May you eagerly await your Savior, Jesus Christ, from heaven, where your citizenship is, Who, by the power that enables Him to bring everything under His control, will transform your earthly body so that it will be like His glorious body. Philippians 3

May you gladly accept God to be your king, for He brings salvation upon the earth through many acts of power, splitting open the sea, crushing the head of Leviathan, opening springs and streams and drying up rivers, owning the day and the night, establishing the sun and moon, setting the boundaries of the earth and making both summer and winter. Psalm 74

May you praise the Lord with the poor and the needy, urging Him to rise up and defend His cause and not let the oppressed retreat in disgrace, lest fools mock His name, but to have regard for his covenant because haunts of violence fill the dark places of the land where the clamor of His adversaries and the uproar of His enemies rise continually, and though foolish people revile the name of the Lord, He will not forget the lives of His afflicted people. Psalm 74

May you be reassured that though a righteous person falls seven times, they will rise again, but the wicked are brought down with finality by calamity. Proverbs 24:16
