May you know that regardless of the means, the object, or the person through which God brings your healing, that it is by trusting the Lord Himself that you have been blessed. Numbers 21

When God brings you into a well-watered land, may you be willing to dig the wells that you require to meet the needs of those whom you serve in the ministry of love, and whose responsibility you carry. Numbers 21

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.

Though they spread a net for your feet when you are bowed down in distress, and dig a pit in your path, may your heart be steadfast toward God and your soul awaken with praise in the night toward the Lord, singing and making music to Him, for His enemies will fall into the pit that they have dug for you. 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

Through knowledge and discernment from the Lord may you escape the destruction sent from the mouth of your godless neighbor. Proverbs 11:9

My child, know that you are a part of something larger than yourself.

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 present your thank offerings to God for He has delivered you from death and your feet from stumbling that you may walk before God in the light of life. Psalm 56

May you be rescued from trouble by the Lord as the righteous are. Proverbs 11:8

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 you marvel at, and walk in, the grace of God Who understands our failings and not only punishes sin, but will do wonders and show signs to forestall and prevent further rebellion and hardheartedness among those who are, and calm fears, settling worries among those who do. Numbers 17

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

May you not be involved or entangled with anything pertaining to those who stand in pride and rebellion against the leading of God’s Spirit, for by His mercy, their fall will be swift and complete, that they may be purged and refined, and know God’s redemption. Numbers 16:26

May you walk in humility before God and man, realizing that your sentence of death for sin against God was fulfilled by the Son He loves, Who now draws you to Himself so that, just as He joined you in the flesh and took the punishment that was your inheritance, you may join Him in the Spirit to share the reward that is His inheritance. Mark 15

May you go boldly before the men in power with the God-given desires of your heart, for though they will be surprised, the power of God will make a way and open a door for His will to be done. Mark 15:43-45

My child, I have sought you out and hemmed you in. You have been searched for and pursued relentlessly, heedless of cost required or time taken. It was no chance encounter or casual, arbitrary selection that brought you to Me. You, specifically, were on My heart and in My thoughts through all that was required to bring you to a saving knowledge of Me.
Having then found you, at odds with Me, wild, distrustful, independent, fearful from the past of being led or harnessed or yoked, I constrained you, limited your options, kept you close, responded to your needs, demonstrated My faithfulness, taught you to seek all good things from My hand. In patience, with gentleness and kindness, I showed your heart a safe and loving place in My household.
As a good Father looks after His children, I sought a relationship with you personally, as well as through others, knowing your frailty and your weakness, yet not overlooking it when pride or flesh acted out, always guiding you by the courteous and caring strength of the Spirit, speaking a word of encouragement to your heart when needed, or a word of conviction to your soul when required.
As you have learned not to shy away from My presence, but to draw near to Me, you have had many questions, and you have made many honest mistakes. My correction and rebuke is always in love to teach you and see you grow in understanding and knowledge, increasing in wisdom, never responding to you in anger or out of frustration, for I never grow tired of you, delighting in you constantly.
My desire is for you to know the unity that I and the Father share as One, so I wait for you to join Me in silent times, quiet times, solitary times so that you can learn of Me, and thus, learn of the Father, coming into unity of mind, unity of heart, unity of purpose, letting go of your viewpoints and relinquishing your opinions that cause you to rush into action that I have not assigned.
In this way, calmed, settled, at peace in your thoughts, at rest in My Spirit, with My Word hid in your heart, you can wait on Me as a loving child waits, confident that all is in control, ready to do the work of My kingdom when it is time, not off playing your own games when I call.
Keep My vision always centered before you, fresh and vivid, letting what I have revealed to you be a light to your path and a lamp to your feet, recalling that which I have made known to you, minute by minute, hour by hour, for the work is Mine, and the power is Mine, but the joy and the fellowship of the victory is yours through obedience in My Name.

May you be directed in a straight way by honesty and integrity as all good and blameless people are and not fall beneath a load of sin as the wicked do. Proverbs 11:5

May you understand that whatever challenges lie ahead, they are faced with God’s counsel, leading and provision, but the path to go back, through all you have come through, would be done without God’s helping hand. Numbers 14

May you have the wisdom, when facing a stronghold of the enemy, to not consider the strength of the walls but to realize the depth of the wickedness, for because of the evil therein, God has set His hand against it, and no defense can stand against the will of God. Numbers 14

May your intents and desires be so precisely aligned with God, that in the distressing moment of testing, your concern and prayer is for God’s reputation before others rather than your possible benefit, improvement, or gain. Numbers 14

May you overcome your fears as you walk ever closer in the overwhelming love of God, as Caleb and Joshua did, that you may follow the Lord wholeheartedly in a different spirit, a spirit of obedience and acceptance of the promises of the Word of God. Numbers 14

My child, believe in Me. Not with mere mind-assent or vocal agreement, but with heart-felt confidence and trust arising from the depths of your spirit.
Do you recall when you first heard My call to you? Is the memory still fresh of the convicting awareness from My Spirit of the deplorable state of your soul and the desperate condition of sin-sickness you were suffering? Can you re-live the urgency you felt to reach out for My hand to lift you and heal you and cleanse you, and the life-changing, soul-shaking result of the new birth, the re-creation of life that I accomplished within you when you turned to Me with the merest of mustard-grain-sized faith?
Are you still finding new vistas in My Spirit that take your breath away? Is the path you follow each day leading you to greater faith in My Word and stronger conviction in My Spirit? Are you becoming more aware of the awesome and holy Presence that you come into when you breathe My name? Do you rest more and more of your burdens and cares for daily needs on Me and make your prayers and focus to be for others to know of Me that which you have benefited from?
I am God. My hand is not short, nor My arm weak. The greatest miracle possible, the most wonderful promise ever given, that of redemption, occurred by My power when you but looked to Me in helpless need, for even the faith to receive it was a gift from Me. Have faith in Me now for the needs I have laid upon you, that you may see Me rise to the occasion and bring blessings to you from directions you had not thought to look.
I am your strength and shield; I help all whose hearts trust in Me, and My joy causes your heart to exult in songs of praise. Do not forget your first love; do not stray from your beginnings. Remember from whence you came, for the road you have traveled is the road-map of ever-growing faith and ever-increasing strength from Me as you draw nearer and deeper into My heart.
All things are possible when you are with Me; that which I put in your heart to do and say will bear fruit as it is done and said in faith and confidence of My watchful presence and overshadowing power.
Believe in Me today, My child, and behold your God at work.

May the promises of God and the visions of His glory inspire you to obedience through love as a living intimate relationship will, rather than to evil through hate as clinging to tradition so often does. Mark 14

March 09

2 Corinthians 3:17-18 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

Numbers 11

May you be satisfied with God’s provision and trusting in His care for you, not desiring again the experiences you came out of or despising what God brings you into, for though you may get your desire, it will bring leanness to your soul. Numbers 11

May you seek the Lord for the work He has for you and diligently apply yourself to it, not desiring the attention or the praise that others receive or seeking to appear greater by belittling fellow-laborers, lest the Lord set you aside for a time of solitary contemplation of your motives. Numbers 12

May you give a good report to the people of God when speaking of the promises of God. Numbers 13

May you not view your circumstances as the people who have no hope view them through self-knowledge of your own resources and capabilities, but rather let the Word of God dwell richly in your heart and your mind, applying His promises by faith in the situation and see the issues from the perspective of eternity, understanding that if God be for you, who can stand against you? Numbers 13

I have commanded you, My child, but with that command I have also provisioned you. I have directed you in what you are to do, but with that directive I have also equipped you.
I make great demands on you, My dear one, greater than you can accomplish, but I have given you the one thing necessary to see it through: My promise to go with you. So, in the knowledge of My integrity and My power, be strong and of good courage as you step forth in obedience.
In the faith and assurance that comes from your experience and the testimony of others, do not be afraid of what you will face or dismayed by what you will need to do for I, the Lord your God, will be with you wherever you go. It will not be by your own authority that you possess the kingdom, but Mine, and it will not be by your own arm that you are saved, but by Mine, for the light of My presence will be with you because My favor is upon you.
Only those things that I direct you in will last, and only those things that you obey Me in will succeed. Though you labor, if I am not there, the work will fall; though you watch, unless I am your defense, the enemy will slip in unseen.
First, come, My loved one, into My gates bringing thanksgiving, and enter My courts bearing praise. Draw near Me with worship as you turn your eyes upon the One Who loves you more than life, and see the purity of His beauty. Let your lips express the words of adoration that My Spirit will bring to your heart, and let the hymns of love and loyalty rise with those of the heavenly hosts as you consider the arm of strength that shields you from harm and the arm of endearment that en-wraps you with tenderness.
Do you see how your fear dissolves in the light of My love? Do you feel how your anxiety melts in the warmth of My embrace? Of what value are riches, which will be lost, if they draw you from Me? Of what benefit is the favor of the world, which is fickle, if it separates you from My tenderness?
Go forth on the assignments I give you, remaining sheltered under My loving wings, for I go with you in all that I send you to do.

Mark 14

My child, you are dear to Me, and My love for you is unending. I protect you as you protect the pupil of your eye.
I always have you in My thoughts, making plans for you, making ways to surprise you with blessings that meet the desires of your heart. I stay close to you, to share your heart and mind, your thoughts and your feelings, as a lover who cannot get enough of the presence of the one who is loved.
I have numbered the hairs on your head, I know the steps you take through the day, I feel the joys and sorrows of your heart through the day, I hear the thoughts of your mind in the silence of the night.
Do you love Me in return? Am I the object of your contemplations? Do you turn to Me to share your thoughts and realizations? Does your curiosity mull over what you know of Me and seek to find out more? Is there a hunger in your heart to draw near, to search out My form and learn the details just because of Who I am?
You are always welcome in My presence, My child. I seek to draw you with My love; allow the pull of My Spirit to bring you near that you may know Me better and we may enjoy the fullness of our fellowship.
I have all that you need; I am the pattern for you to follow. Gaze on Me and learn in ever greater detail what I have to offer; receive the wisdom that will carry you through the trials of life.
Let the knowledge of My heart’s desire work through your life in expression to others, for that is the ministry that satisfies your desire like nothing else. Join Me in the spontaneous, restful ministry, the unstrained, loving care and compassion for those I encounter with you that meets others needs with the unfettered love of the Father.
Follow the pattern you see, My love, just as Moses did, just as My disciples do. Read of Me in My Word, pray to Me in My Spirit, walk with Me in My ministry, and learn more of Me each day as I speak to your heart, for I am always with you.

John 14:15 If ye love Me, keep My commandments.

Luke 18:14 …for everyone who exalts himself shall be humbled, but he who humbles himself shall be exalted.

May you be willing to come in submission before the Lord as a new-born, setting aside all personal status of age, ability, and experience, and let God make of you a servant in His image, separated to and dedicated for, obedient ministry to Him for His people, just as the Levites had to shave themselves completely, removing, and revealing. Numbers 8

May you follow the Lord one day at a time, always keeping your eyes on Him, watching and listening to know how long to stay, and where next to go, trusting God for the resources needed at the time. Numbers 9

May you have eyes to see the coming of the Son of Man in His people with great authority and integrity, well before the world sees Him come in the clouds with great power and glory. Mark 13

May you resolve to place your trust in the Lord, knowing that He is fully aware of your weakness and frailty, relying on His uncritical and non-judging compassion to give you resources that will carry you beyond your limits, but understanding that He will cut short the times of trouble that the evil one has planned, lest none of the elect would survive. Mark 13

May you be alert and keep watch, for you do not know what will happen next; only the Father knows, therefore you must stay focused on Him, and practice His presence, acknowledging Him in all you do, everywhere you go, everything you say, that your words and deeds may be from His heart, through His spirit and to His praise. Mark 13

Relax, My child, and know that you are My chosen one. You have nothing to prove. I selected you, and called you, and redeemed you. I know your very fiber and being, for I created and shaped you, all by Myself, not assigning the task to My angels, nor leaving the process to random forces with unforeseen vagaries. I take all responsibility for what you started out as, and I bear all accountability for how you have turned out, for I have walked with you always, even when you were in enmity to Me.
I have shaped you for the work I have assigned you, and I continue to refine you for tasks to come, which you are not yet prepared for. I know your strengths, for I placed them in you. I know your weaknesses, for I planned them for you. Understand that you exist for My glory, not for your convenience.
Why do you rejoice over your strengths, skills, and talents, as though they were to your credit? Did you create and develop them, or simply discover them in you where I had placed them? I gave them to you for others who will rely on them and bless Me for them.
Why do you complain about the weaknesses that you constantly struggle to overcome as though they should not exist? Do you feel they are blemishes to My discredit? I planned, designed, and created them, specifically for you, My selected one. It is through your weakness that My strength is demonstrated; it is by your weakness that you are reminded to turn to Me and seek to stay close to Me. It is because of your weakness that others are encouraged to seek the same grace for their lives that I have shown to you.
That is why you will gain more weaknesses as you grow older and mature in Me. “The glory of a young man is his strength.” But the glory of the old is the wisdom I grant as strength departs, and I become the Source, the Strength, the Joy, the Grace, the Love, the very Life and Breath that you depend on. In that, I am honored richly and My glory is declared broadly.
Relax in Me, My dear one, do not demand or complain, but accept all that I desire to do with you, and through you, taking delight in My plans and purposes for you, for you are My chosen vessel, whom I love and cherish.

May you love God’s instructions and seek them every morning, binding His words close to your heart and mind every day, continually abhorring evil and shunning wicked practices, always using your mouth for good and harnessing your tongue for integrity, regularly speaking encouragement to your brother and continually building up those who are closest to you. Though you have done these things in an ongoing fashion and God has remained silent, He is preparing to embrace you and will proclaim before men His deep pleasure in and enduring affection for you as one in whom the King takes great joy and delight. Psalm 50

May you give true praise to the Father, which is a worthy sacrifice, for it greatly honors God, and it prepares the way for Him to show you the salvation of the Lord. Psalm 50

May you gather in confidence with God’s consecrated ones, who by sacrifice have made a covenant with Him, to stand before the Mighty One, the Lord, to receive, with complete fairness and perfect righteousness, God’s judgment from out of the devastating fire and raging tempest that swirls around Him. He wants our true thanks, our promises fulfilled, and for us to call on Him in our day of trouble so He can rescue us, and we can give Him glory and honor. Psalm 50

May the way of the Lord be your strength and your refuge, as it is for all the righteous, though it is the ruin of those who do evil. Proverbs 10:29

Psalm 37:9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.

Galatians 3:24 So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith.

Matthew 11:25-26 At that time Jesus said, ‘I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure’

May you be willing to separate yourself unto the Lord on occasion, and for a period, devoting the time and concern ordinarily allotted for the ease and care of the flesh to the renewing and refreshing of the spirit, not gratifying the desires of the mind and body, but giving your focus and strength to the discipline of the spirit, that your conscience may be kept from dead works and not touch on unclean things, but present yourself holy to the Lord for His purposes and to His glory and praise. Numbers 6

May the Lord bless you and keep you; may the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; may the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace. Numbers 6

Numbers 7

May your devotion to God be in purity toward Him, and not deceitful disguise toward others, and may it start in private with your thoughts and intents toward God that it may blossom in love and good deeds toward His people. Mark 12

My child, you are right to glory in what I have done for you, bragging to others of how I have lifted you out of the pit you were trapped in, setting you free, and boasting of how I have emboldened your heart and guided your feet and strengthened your hands and given you words that touch others, bringing light to lives that only knew darkness until My power touched them.
I have loved you from eternity and gladly gave all I have to bring you into the family of God, sharing that which was Mine alone, that you may be accepted in the Father as His children, My brethren, and recognized as co-heirs with Me.
Be cautious, therefore, My exuberant one, to remember that you were My enemy when I did this for you. Remember to remain at the foot of the cross, My rambunctious one, even as you celebrate the empty tomb.
When I send you out on tasks and assignments, never fail to recall that your testimony is about what I did for you, My lovely one, not about who it is that I did it for.
It is through the power of the resurrection that the victory was won over the death on the cross, but it is on the cross that My love was fully expressed for you. I joyfully choose to carry those scars as emblems of your value to Me and as badges of recognition so that you will know and recognize Me. Therefore, let the knowledge of how I was pierced and how I was crushed and how I was scourged travel with you so that your devotion toward Me remains fresh and true, and your heart remains humbled by the depth of My love for you.
It is in the lowliness of your spirit that you will be able to effectively and powerfully minister My resurrected life to others, for that is when your view of My majesty will be the clearest.

Numbers 4

May you realize that the holy truths of God are contained within drab and plain exteriors and the secret places of God are not visible to the world’s casual glance, but the bronze laver was not covered, showing that the cleansing of God is available to all and the washing by the Word is always present to any who desire to be cleansed. Numbers 4

May you understand that the purity of your walk is what will bring you into the peace of His presence, not of your own striving, but through turning to and accepting from the Son of God the initial cleansing for your life and the daily washing of your walk, for as you always recall where you have come from and how great is your constant need, your love will ever increase as you humbly accept, and give, the grace of God which is sufficient for all needs. Numbers 5

Take My peace with you, My child, as you face the challenges of the day, the decisions of the moment, the choices for the future, so that anxiety will not distract you from the wisdom I bring you.
Wrap My peace around you, My warrior, to be the quilting worn under My armor, allowing you to fight harder and stand longer, to hold off the onslaught of the enemy and absorb the blows from the world with less damage.
Receive My peace, My dear one, as a gift to adorn your beauty, to set off your radiance and be a fragrance to change the atmosphere wherever I send you as My emissary and My ambassador, bearing greetings from Me and offers of comfort to men’s hearts and rest to their souls as they submit to My lordship.
Learn of My peace, My sent-out one, and delve deeply into its properties, allowing it to have its full effects in your life, soothing your soul-wounds and bringing healing to your thought-patterns, correcting your understanding and re-knitting the torn places in your heart’s emotions that are weary and need rest, for this is the medicine you will bring to others as I send you to the desperately wounded and despairing, those who are like you once were.
Walk with Me in the peaceful cool of the evening, My love, and take what I create for you with you to the harvest fields that call to you. I am always with you there, for you will hear My voice speaking to you in the midst of My peace.

May you know the truth of the Scriptures to change your life as you study God’s Word, and may you realize the power of God to redeem your soul as you walk with the Lord in relationship. Mark 12

Do not concern yourself, My child, with what you shall live on, for I know your needs and I have promised to supply your daily bread. Spend your time and your effort, rather, on seeking Me and hearing My voice, for by this you will determine what you shall live for.
Will you build your own kingdom on the earth, earning the acclaim of men and receiving authority over them? Then your reward will be in this life, and it will perish with you. Or will you build My kingdom, invisible and unknown to the world, but durable and lasting through eternity?
I have commanded that you will earn your bread by the sweat of your brow, so you must put in the effort required to set your table, to build your shelter, to clothe your body, and to care for your family, but I have not ordained for you to be anxious about them or make them your first priority; simply trust Me to make your honest and reliable efforts fruitful. Trust Me to bring you enough of what you need – neither too little, causing you to steal and dishonor My name, nor too much, causing you to forget Me and rely on your own strength.
It is only as you seek to serve Me in the work of My kingdom that you will know the true joy of life and peace of mind that I have also promised you, for then you will find the true meaning and purpose in life as you draw near to Me and let Me be the Source of all your desire.

Leviticus 27

May you be devoted to God, set aside for His purpose, sanctified for His use, knowing that all rights to your personal preferences and opinions are given up and His is not only your Master, but your Lord, and your God; His will is for you to be holy, even as He is holy, which is why you must decrease by denying yourself so He can increase as you walk after the Spirit and not after the flesh, choosing the death of the carnal nature and the destruction of the fleshly desires which war against the spirit.

I am your refuge, your shelter, your place of comfort in distress. You are always on My mind and constantly in My thoughts, which are toward you, to give you hope and a future, to prosper you with riches that cannot be stolen and will never lose their value, but will go with you into eternity and reflect the love that I have for you, complementing the beauty I see in you.
Though you feel that you are lying in the dust, now, and have been left at the trash heap, I am with you and My Spirit is within you even as My blood flows through you. I, too, was taken out of the city, treated as the lowliest and most worthless, and I have the comfort and the acceptance that the Father gave to Me that I now give to you.
You will rise up, for I will lift you and none will hold you back. You will be given a seat of honor as I call you by name and seat you among the nobles and none will prevent you by word or deed.
Trust Me, My honored one, with all your heart, acknowledge Me even now, for I am setting your paths straight, instructing you and teaching you in the way for you to go, speaking a word in your ear and surrounding you with My loving kindness.
Walk with Me in the path I know so well.

Set your heart fully upon Me, My child. Make Me the center of your attention. Turn your every purpose toward My purpose. Accept My will as your own. Align yourself with My goals. Let your every conversation be oriented toward Me.
All I have done in redemption, sanctification, and glorification has been for you, for I have not needed these things for Myself. I have done much more than you can understand in preparing the way for you to come to Me; but know that this is simply preparatory to what will be, My love.
I have sought you, and found you, cleansed and prepared you that you may join Me and be united with Me for eternity. But this is only the preface to the real story; it is merely the checklist before the take-off. Eye has not seen nor ear heard nor entered into the heart of man the half of what is to come.
Work the work I give you, My delightful one, but keep Me always in your focus; do not let My assignment become your identity. Remain true to Me, for My eyes range through the earth to strengthen all whose hearts are fully committed to Me. I look with favor on those who are humble and contrite in spirit and who tremble at My word. Seek Me in all your ways, and acknowledge My presence in all you do, for the Father loves those who love His Son.

My child, do not let your faith waver. You have believed in Me in the past; believe in Me today, for I have not changed.

The chaos may rage around you, but I am protecting you under My covering hand.
Do not turn from Me at the time of your greatest need, but cling ever more tightly to the promises I have given you. Though all others forsake you, and your closest ones turn from you, I will never leave or abandon you, My love, for I am your most faithful friend, abiding closer than a brother, and making a way when there seems to be no way.
