May you bring the submission of your heart to the Father’s will, the fruit of your lips in praise to the Lord, and the obedience of your hands to the work of the Spirit as offerings unto God so that you will never need come before Him without a sacrifice. Exodus 23

May you be ready and prepared to show God honor in public gatherings with His people, bringing with you what the Lord has given you in secret, during private times, alone with Him, that the fruit which has been cultivated in tears may be shared with joy and thanksgiving to God. Exodus 23

May you listen carefully to what the Spirit tells you and obey all that the Father says, reverencing and not rebelling against the Name of the Lord, so that He will guard you along the way, and will oppose those who oppose you, as an enemy to your enemies, and bring you to the place He has prepared. Exodus 23

May you worship the Lord your God, and then His blessing will be on your food and water, for He will take away sickness from among you, and all will be fruitful in your land, and God will give you a full life span. Exodus 23

May you walk in victory, step by step, conquering the enemy, one by one, which inhabits the land God gives you, little by little, as you grow and increase enough to take possession of all He has for you.

May you be willing to wait on God for His good pleasure in His perfect time, whether in the clouds on the top of the mountain or in the valley at its foot, patiently occupying until He calls, for in the silence your heart speaks loudly and He can show you what is in it, uncovered and revealed, ready to be laid as a sacrifice before Him, releasing that part of who you are to Him, to be cleansed from the past, sanctified to His use, and conformed to His image. Exodus 24

May you offer gifts to God, at the prompting of the Spirit, of the riches of your heart and the treasures of your mind, allowing skillful workers, in whom is the Spirit of God, to fashion from your gifts the tabernacle of God, following the pattern He has shown us, His Son, Jesus. Exodus 25

May you rest in the confidence of the workmanship of God, relying on His skill and not your own, accepting His choice of tools and not your own, yielding to His wisdom and not your own, submitting to His timing and not your own. When He uses you, you will still feel like yourself, unfinished, incomplete, often unchanged, but others, by the Spirit of God Who gives life, will see only the Lord and not you, just as gold covered the wood of the ark of the covenant. Exodus 25

Hear Me, My dear one. Do not just listen, but hear what I say. You have My Word, but you have seen what comes from merely the letter when the life is left out.
My Spirit brings My Word to life, but your heart must be open to receive it. From My heart flows the grace, the compassion, the cheer, the mercy, the encouragement, the gentleness, the meekness, yes, and even the strength for joyful acceptance.
These are the elements of My life, the abundant life, the life of the Spirit that bears fruit and makes your time on earth more than a dreary endurance of patient resignation.
Open your heart to Me. Tune your heart to Me. Submit your heart to Me. Know the joyful hope and vibrant resonance that brings the life of confident overcoming from the heavenlies into your home and your work.
Hear what the Spirit has to say, for He will reveal Me to the world through you, if you will hear My voice and obey it.

May you ever be watchful and always remain ready as you daily occupy and serve, preparing obediently, just as Noah did, for that which has never been seen but has been promised by the Lord.

When powers not of earth strive and spiritual authorities battle, if the enemy harms the Son’s Bride, causing the fruit of the Spirit to be lost, God’s promise is for vengeance. Exodus 21

May you not feel shame at the scars from the past, for God’s law requires that a slave be freed when the master abused those held in captivity. Just as Satan held each of us in slavery to sin through fear of death, misusing and tormenting all in his control, your wounds and scars give grounds to allow Jesus, once the debt of sin was paid and death defeated, to grant freedom to the slave and liberty to the captive. Exodus 21

Converse with Me daily, hourly, minute by minute, My child. Set your thoughts upon Me continually, and bring them back to Me when you recognize that your thoughts have drifted or been distracted.
Make Me party to all that you are interested in, seeking My thoughts and discerning My will. Do not be blind to the world and the work therein, but neither be deaf to My voice or the wisdom I would share.
Know that I care for you, and for what you care for, as that is how I have formed you. Bring all things to Me, My love, your joys, your sorrows, your anticipation, your disappointments, your needs, your praise; include Me in all of your life as a constant companion, inseparable, for I am your Life-giver, the One from Whom your life flows.
Tune your heart to My presence, form your thoughts to My glory, speak your words from My Spirit, giving voice to your thanks for My promise, expressing your regret and sorrow for that sin which the Spirit convicts you of, honoring Me for the mercy I have given you, turning into a prayer those things which others tell you or that burden which I have given you.
Dwell in My Presence and abide in My Spirit acknowledging Me, for as you learn to hear My voice and speak to My heart, you will see My power touch the lives of those about you.

May you not look for the great signs and miracles, for these will come from false Christs and false prophets; rather, look for the Lord in the small things and the little details, for only He, omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient, can reach to where you are, speaking in ways only you understand, since He has walked with you every day of your life, and knows every word before it leaves your mouth. Matthew 24

May you know that Christ, Who came humbly and lived quietly, gently seeking the lost sheep who had been scattered, will return triumphantly and victoriously in splendor before all of mankind, and only the false Christs, all of whom are without power or authority, will seek to be secluded and deceive you.

May you recognize the benefit of your emotional poverty and spiritual time of need. It first turns you to the Lord to see Him as a Master to serve; then, when relationship develops, it allows you to see Him as a beloved Source of all good and perfect gifts, as well as the blessings of life which He bestows on you. Through this, you can confess before others your willing and freely given acceptance of His awl through your ear, testifying that He is worthy to be trusted and relied upon as your Master for life and eternity. Exodus 21

May you give room in your heart for the grace of God toward others. Though they cause you painful harm and take from you forever what you cherished, yet you see by the Spirit that you have gained, through the sacrifice of Christ, so very much more than you have lost. In this, you can find the way to give to God the right of redemptive judgment that brings life, freeing you from being a victim to being a conquering victor over your own knowledge of good and evil. Exodus 21

May you not be distracted from the truth of the kingdom by material concerns, but ever stay focused on the eternal truths that outlast the temporal issues. Matthew 23

Depend on Me, My child, more and ever more deeply. Do not tally up your strengths and skills, or your contacts and owed favors, or your knowledge and life’s wisdom, for these draw you from Me and will fail you when times change.
Learn of Me, My love, knowing that I change not, and My compassion for you never diminishes. Relinquish your earthly crutch, your emotional dependence, and learn to lean on Me, your Rock, your eternal Support.
Rise with Me and soar in the spirit, even though you have previously despaired of ever standing again. I know your pain and I have experienced your injury. The same Spirit of the resurrection that opened the grave is Mine to give to you.
Walk with Me, run with Me, let your heart leap with joy in My presence, for I have wept with you in your sorrows and have carried you when you could not go further. Open the windows of your heart to the winds of My spirit and grow strong in your faith, though your flesh grows weak. Know that more is done in My kingdom by resting in My promises than is ever accomplished by perspiring in your strength.
I will make you a road-builder, My chosen one, that the way of the Lord, the King’s Highway will be made straight and clear, easy to travel for the blind, the lame, and the halt. You will bridge rivers, fill in the low spaces, cut through mountains, and drain swamps that block the pilgrim and hinder the searcher.
Great and mighty projects will I do through you as you choose to release the supports that bind you to the earth and learn to lean totally upon Me. Come, My child, take the step of faith into My arms.

My child, never forget that you are a debtor to Me. You owe the same debt each child does to their parent who gave them life and supplied their needs.
You owe the debt of honor to esteem Me for Who I am. You owe the debt of obedience to acknowledge My wisdom which guides you safely. But above all, you owe a debt of love because of My justice which, tempered by mercy and grace, accepted the blood-payment willingly and freely given by My Son to redeem you from death and bring you into My throne room.
This debt is not paid back to Me, My dear one. This debt is paid forward to the exhausted who need to be encouraged, to the feeble who need to be strengthened, to the anxious who need to know that I will be to them all that I have been to you.
It is a debt that can never be fully paid off, My love, but do not lose heart or despair at the prospect, for I am with you, providing the resources you use to pay that debt of love to each I bring you to. It is not your resources that you are using, but Mine. You are My hands to the world, and I fill My hands with good things from the Father’s heart.

May you have the eyes to see the kindness, mercy, compassion and grace of the Lord in His deliverance, redemption, and rescue as He moves you away from the comfort which had captured you and kept you in bondage, preventing you from receiving His promise, and how God is using the wilderness He sets you in to remove the Egypt from you now that He has removed you from Egypt, and may you respond to Him during that time with praise, gratitude, and thanks, believing and trusting Him in all that He does. Exodus 16

May you know, as you minister the Word of God to others, that resistance and disagreement is not towards you, but to the Lord, Who is not frightened by it, or shaken concerning it, but will, Himself, respond befittingly, for He knows the heart, and will meet honest questions and doubt with grace and compassion, while giving rebuke to those with hardened hearts.

Exodus 16

May you learn from the wilderness that while the Lord provides and protects, He does not promise comfort and ease, or peace and serenity, for the wilderness is a time and place of effort and change, confrontation and battle, dealing with the challenges within and resisting the attacks from without, learning that the Lord, He is God, and His grace, not your strength, is sufficient. Exodus 17

Let My light shine, My child, on all that you encounter. Bring your acquaintances, fellow-workers, family members, new-found friends, long-time companions before Me that the light of My glory may touch their lives.
Dwell in My Presence, My love, and let the brilliance of My glory change your heart and your mind, burning off the built-up layers of wood, hay, and stubble that comes from the world and allowing the floating ashen remnants to drift away as the gleaming gold, silver, and precious gems of My nature and My spirit are brightened and cleansed in the radiance of My eternal holiness.
Know that the light of My righteousness will rise in your heart as you revere Me, and bring healing to your spirit and your life, as well as to the lives of those who fear My name with you, and bring the new strength of My joy to you each day.
See how the world and your circumstances, events and those involved in them, all change from hopeless impossibilities to glorious possibilities when you look at them in the light of My truth and power, My mercy and grace, My love and compassion rather than the shadow of your understanding and resources.

Remember when you learned of My love for you, though you saw how unlovable you were? Express your worship and adulation for Me.
Recall when you realized that I was the One Who had strength and power enough to rescue you from the darkness you were in? Offer your reverence and honor for My salvation.
Relive the time when you learned how sick you were, and understood that man’s help only went so far, but you comprehended that I was the Great Physician Who healed you to the uttermost; proclaim your obeisance and accolades for the added length of life.
Though you came to Me unclean, clothed in your righteous deeds like a filthy garment, I accepted you willingly and clothed you in the best robe, putting a ring on your finger and sandals on your feet, for My love for you knows no bounds.
When you rejoice greatly in Me, exulting in My deeds, I clothe you in garments of salvation and wrap you in robes of righteousness.
When you count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Me, though you suffer the loss of all things, I give to you the right to clothe yourself in fine linen and adorn yourself as a bride with her jewels.
Come, enter into My love for you, honor Me with your words, your deeds, and the intents of your heart, and be received into the joy of My fellowship throughout all eternity.

Now I ask that you reciprocate the expression of fellowship, of covenant, showing your desire to be in relationship with Me, and give Me those things that have occupied the place in your life and in your heart that is Mine to hold.
I have given you My Son, holding nothing back. Will you accept Him as Lord and Master, and give Me your heart and life and the things you have treasured, holding nothing back?

May you grasp at each opportunity to receive from God that which He has planted the desire for in your heart, being willing to suffer rebuke for straying outside of the social and cultural norms if need be, and persisting in pursuing the Lord, Who desires to be found and is willing to be entreated, when you seek Him with your whole heart, that you may have the answer you seek through His compassion and and His power.

May the Lord not allow you to be put to shame or disappointed when you trust Him and take refuge in Him. Psalm 25

May you be a valued and worthwhile companion to those God has placed around you, being slow to speak, slow to anger, and swift to hear, speaking the truth of God without guile or malice, with an humble heart and obedient spirit, teaching by demonstration what you see the Father do and speaking from the fullness of God’s heart, being strong enough to remain vulnerable and open enough to receive from others, walking in peace amidst confusion and bringing calm to others’ turmoil, sharing the soothing oil and balm of the Spirit to end strife and vexation, for then the Lord will establish you and call you sons of the heavenly Father and give you authority to be about the business of His kingdom. Proverbs 6:12-15, revised

May your desire to excel provoke you to serve many, for those who would be great in the kingdom of God must be the servant of all. Matthew 20

But do not mistake My judgment upon persistent evildoers for My ongoing training in your life, My child. You are never the object of My wrath, nor does My anger run hot against you. All of My work with man is to turn him from evil, and the goal of My striving with man is redemptive.
Those who practice evil as a lifestyle and continue to resist My grace will find themselves enmeshed with the sources of spiritual wickedness for whom judgment is intended. But as you have sought Me, I have accepted you and am changing you from glory to glory.
See beyond the events and behold My purpose. Look past the efforts you must exert and glimpse My love. Those who reject Me, I have rejected, but each who seeks Me will find that I never leave them, even through all that they face.

May you realize that God will deal through His mercy and in His power with all people on the basis of what is put higher or held dearer than Him, for everything that is idolized will fall away and be removed; the only decision facing each person is whether they cling to God and live, or hang on to something that will fall. Exodus 8

May you be as hungry for the Lord, and as willing to seek Him, as those who devote themselves to other purposes, rising early and giving time to the One Who will last and never fail through eternity. Exodus 8

May you see that the Lord will always work through a yielded and willing vessel, for when He needs someone to stand against His Word and His Authority long after most others have learned the fear of God, He will raise up someone like Pharaoh whose heart is prepared and willing to do it, just as the Lord raised up Moses, who was yielded to God and willing to obey. Exodus 9

May you rejoice in God’s mercy which is always available in the midst of His judgment, for His judgment is upon the world system with those who draw upon its power and lend it their strength, but His mercy is extended to each individual who turns to Him in reverent fear and holy awe. Exodus 9

Know the sweetness of My presence, My child, as you walk along the path today. I am present, I am real, and I am vital in all that you do, say, and think. Will you allow Me to be those things today? You are able to shut Me out, not only by deliberate choice as the children of the evil one do, but also by neglect, inattention, distraction.
Pray without ceasing, My love, as you would with someone dear to your heart. When you see two people talking today, leaning into each other, check to see if you are conversing that intimately with Me about what is on your heart. When you see a parent and child holding hands crossing the street, check to see if your hand is securely in Mine, as I lead you in the way you should go. When you see a couple eating in a restaurant showing each other the little courtesies that come from caring, check to see if you are aware of the graces I am showing you and whether you have thanked Me for them.
I am always with you, My precious one, every step of the way, and My desire is that you would always be aware of My Presence, for you will be comforted by it, you will gain My wisdom from it, you will get discernment from it, you will know My heart and be led aright by it. Walk in My Spirit, and you will not fulfill the desires of the flesh.

May you be as a little child when you approach the Lord, for He commands that no power hinder, forbid, or restrain those who do, and declares the kingdom of heaven belongs to those who are. Matthew 19

May you always recall that whatever task is assigned to you by the Lord, you are always to follow Him, for it is in His presence that sorrow departs and joy is found. Matthew 19

Matthew 19

May you have clean hands and a pure heart, not practicing dishonesty or swearing by what is false, for then you will receive God’s own goodness as a blessing from the Lord and vindication from God your Savior, for you will be able to ascend the hill of the Lord and stand in His holy place to worship.

May you be obedient to the Lord and not become discouraged when the word which the Lord gives you to share is not immediately accepted by others who are experiencing discouragement because of harsh circumstances. Exodus 6

May you stand firm in faith with the word God gives you, for those who resist the truth and power of the Lord are depending on other sources which God will put to the test that they may be seen to fall, unable to withstand or endure before the majesty of the Lord. Exodus 7

May you step forth in faithful obedience as the Lord has directed, for once you begin, and as you persist, in the assignment the Lord has given, you will find that your fears were groundless as you see the hand of God at work. Exodus 7

May you not be dismayed when those who are willing to disobey God make it easy to disbelieve His truth. The Lord will meet them on their own terms and swallow up their efforts, destroying their strengths one by one, face to face, until they confess that God is greater. Exodus 7

May you understand that whatever you honor and give appreciation and credit to for who you are and what you have is standing in God’s place. By His mercy, He will make it a vexation to you and a bitterness for you to help encourage you to turn to Him as your rightful Lord and the one true Source of all you need. Exodus 7

May you be prepared for the reaping of what has been sown. Even as the Egyptians corrupted the river with the blood of the Hebrew newborns, so the Lord gave them blood to drink, even killing the fish that they ate. Exodus 7

I am your perfection, My child. In Me, you are not merely made better, you are made complete and whole.
By My work in your life, you are able to stand firm and be strong. Because of My provision, you can live freely in the moment, the present, today, neither trapped in the restricting regrets of yesterday nor dreading the formless fears of tomorrow.
Through My wisdom, you can walk maturely and soberly with those beside you. In My grace, you can see success brought to the lives of others. By My strength, you are victorious over the attacks of the enemy.
It is My righteousness that grants you access to stand before My Father to voice your requests and know that He will grant them according to His will in order to honor My name.
In My love, My dear one, you are complete in Me, wanting nothing, prepared for all, equipped for duty, trained for work, filled with joy, accepted in the Beloved and resting in My Promises.
Go forth bearing My praises and share My truth with all to whom I send you.

May you forgive others from your heart, for you have been forgiven of much more by God. Seek for their welfare, even as the Lord does for us. Matthew 18

May you always turn to God in great seriousness and earnest prayer for His example and pattern rather than the traditions of men. Matthew 19

May the care of the Shepherd make for you a verdant pasture of your circumstances, bringing restoration to your soul and refreshing peace beside quiet waters, regardless of where you are in the natural. Psalm 23

May you not focus on whether those you seek to help or minister to will be willing, nor be fearful about those who are determined to withstand the work of God, but focus on the commission of God and His promise to be with you as you go and in all that you do. Exodus 4

May you give to God what you have at hand, for He will use what you bring and bless what you have, to His glory and for His will. Exodus 4

May you celebrate your weaknesses and shortcomings, your inabilities and your lacks, because by knowing you as you are, others can be shown God for Who He is as He moves through you to show Himself strong. Exodus 4

May you not be so enthralled by your shortcomings that you set them above the power and awesomeness of God Almighty, for did He not create all you have, and can He not accomplish His will as He chooses? So take Him at His word and, standing on His promises, obey His command in the way He directs you in His work. Exodus 4

May you recognize the hand of God in the circumstances that come upon you as you obey His leading; though they seem like setbacks, may you realize the work He is doing to bring total defeat upon the powers which hold His people captive. Exodus 5

Know My Word, My child, study it, learn it, embrace it, live it. Do not fear My Word but allow it to have its way in your heart and your mind. Allow it to complete its work in your life.
Although it is sharper than a double-edged sword, although it divides asunder soul and spirit, although it discerns and judges the thoughts and intents of the heart, it is wielded by My Spirit for your benefit, My dear one, and guided by My love for you. It is not for your harm, but for your eternal benefit that pain comes, as separation from harmful things, damaging relationships, troublesome ties, impairing perspectives, results as My Truth sets you free from the shackles of the enemy and the chains of his lies.
As you stay in My Word, consuming it, digesting the meaning and absorbing the principles I reveal through it, you gain strength to stand and resist the attacks as the enemy of your soul seeks to recapture you through wrong thoughts and evil intents.
Once again, My Word cleaves the shrouds of darkness and My light separates day from night, life from death. As it happens in your mind, so it happens in your life and you find a separation takes place in the activities you follow and the places you go and the fellowship you partake.
Let My Word be your guide, My chosen one, for it will draw you ever closer to Me.

May you not act in haste or emotion to resolve a problem by exercising final judgment, lest you move ahead of God and perform your own works by your own wisdom, for you will be known by what you do, as was Moses after killing the Egyptian. Exodus 2

May you offer courtesy and respect to others, providing defense and encouragement to resolve the dispute, not end the disputer, as did Moses when rescuing Jethro’s daughters. Exodus 2

May you not cease to bring your situation and distress to the Lord, for He will hear your prayers and remember His promises and look upon you with loving care. Exodus 2

May you realize that you will be most suited for the work God gives you when you have the greatest knowledge of your own weakness and failure, for then you will know enough not to turn to your own strength and understanding, seeing them as unreliable and falling short of the need but will turn to the Lord for the abundance His work requires and will never be disappointed in Him. Exodus 3

May God rescue you from the hand of your oppressors and slave drivers as you cry out to Him, for He is concerned about your suffering and will bring you into a good and spacious land, flowing with milk and honey, and will be with you as you drive out the wicked inhabitants who occupy the land now.

Genesis 50, Romans 8

May you prosper in the Lord as you share God’s Word even while your spiritual enemies seek to oppress you, and may you multiply and spread the knowledge of the Lord even as the principalities and powers of the air seek to make your life bitter. Exodus 1

Run into My arms, My dear one! Do not hesitate or consider, but come! My arms are open to you and My heart is desirous for you.

I am your Creator – I have made you and know every aspect of you, and you bear the marks of My presence as a painting bears not only the expression of the image in the artist’s mind, but also the brush marks exhibit the mastery of his technique.
I am your Redeemer – I have paid to the last farthing, and more, the exorbitant ransom price demanded by the enemy who treacherously gained legal title to you, My creation, for the sole purpose of expressing his anger and hatred of Me through the ones I love best. I paid willingly and with joy, for you are worth it, and I would rather die than live without you.
I am your Lover – I know you intimately and long for you to know Me just as you are known. My heart’s desire is toward you and for you, and I am drawing you so that you will desire Me as much. I have accepted you completely and have made preparations fully to allow you to inhabit the holiness of eternity with Me.
I wait now, expectantly, as My Spirit dwells in you, shaping you, bringing you to Me. Yield to Him, submit to Him, listen to Him, for He will speak to you of Me, sharing with you the treasures I have given Him for the one whose heart yearns for Me as I do for you.
Come, run into My arms, for I hold nothing back from all who do.
