May you realize, and rejoice in the fact, that your High Priest is stationed in the heavenlies above all powers or events that would attempt to entangle or prevent Him from carrying out His calling of making intercession for you as your Advocate to the Father. Leviticus 22

May you bring to the Lord the gift of your heart, complete and entire, not missing any parts that are held back for yourself, or with pride of accomplishments and men’s testimonies added, simply as you are, understanding that the Father knows you for who you are. Leviticus 22

May you obey the Word of God, following the leading of the Spirit, that both your words and your deeds will acknowledge the Lord as holy, and His name, which you bear, will not be profaned, for He is the One Who has set you apart for Himself and brought you out of the world’s system and lifestyle to be your God. Leviticus 22

May you find joy and rest in celebrating the Lord, whether it is when you step apart privately as He draws you to Himself, or on the occasions when you join with others in solemn and sacred assemblies, for these are the Lord’s appointed feasts and His holy convocations. Leviticus 23

Do not feel overwhelmed by your perceived shortcomings or faults in the face of your present troubles and trials, My child. My love covers a greater multitude of sins than you can conceive, and I am just, willing to forgive and cleanse you of all you sincerely confess and turn from.
I have already paid the price for you, My little one. Why would I withhold that which is already yours? Come to Me, My love, with all the grime and dust and stains that have accumulated that I may give you the refreshing of My Spirit and the renewing of My love.
Do not be distracted by notions of how to “earn” My acceptance or to “make” Me love you more. Simply run to My arms now and be reconciled, leaving behind those tormenting “bullies,” those thoughts that continually belittle you with lies about yourself, causing you to stop thinking of Me.
I am the One that you are to think on, for I am honest, just, pure, and lovely; where else will you find the Source of good reports, virtue, and praise? Let My peace guard your heart and mind as you put into practice all that you have learned and received and heard from Me, for I will be with you, both now in your present sorrow, and through eternity with joy beyond measure.

May the Lord draw you away to Himself and teach you what you need. Mark 9

May you remember that whenever Jesus spoke of the suffering and pain that was to come for Himself as well as His followers, He always spoke of the overcoming of the enemy and the victory that would emerge from what the eye of man would consider defeat, because the Spirit that is within you will always be greater that the spirit that is in the world.

May you accept with fellowship and grace each one who honors the name of Christ in word and deed, for in spite of outward differences or insignificant details, no one who walks in the faith of the Word, bears the fruit of the Spirit, and gives glory to God through the power of Jesus’ name can soon, or easily, speak evil of the Lord. Mark 9

May the fire of your trials reveal the glory of God’s eternal nature as your carnal nature is consumed, and the savor of grace with the salt of trust be pleasing to the Lord. Mark 9

May you cling to the truth of God’s word so that you may receive the promises of His Spirit, for where He directs, He makes a way. Mark 10

May you not trust in your skill or strength to bring you victory, but in the Lord, your King and your God, through Whom you push back your enemies, and through Whose name you trample your foes, for He gives you victory over your adversaries, whom He puts to shame. Psalm 44

May you make your boast in God all day long and praise His name forever. Psalm 44

May the Lord’s right hand, His arm, and the light of His face drive out the principalities and crush the powers which oppose you so that you may be planted and made to flourish, all because of God’s bountiful and limitless love for you, and so that those around you will know the testimonies of the Lord.

May you keep all the decrees and laws of God and follow them, so that you may dwell in the kingdom of God. Leviticus 20

May you understand, realize, and accept that God has called you to be a priest unto Him, and you must be holy to your God. As you offer up the praise of your God, it is He who makes you holy. Leviticus 21

May you care enough for those the Lord brings your way to teach and to share the Word He gives you for them that they may know the Lord in truth and in spirit. Leviticus 22

Do not seek to find your life in this world, My child. Though you live here for now, wear it loosely. Though you are immersed in it, walk through it lightly. Though surrounded by it, do not grasp it tightly. Remember that your life is hidden in Me, My dear one, and it is in Me that you live and breathe and have your being.
It matters not whether you have an abundance of this world’s goods, so long as you have an abundance of My love. It matters not whether you have acclaim and renown, as long as you are known by Me. It is of no significance whether your name is in the news or published in print, if only your name is written in the Lamb’s book of life. It matters little whether your body is healthy or ill, once you have made sure that all is well with your soul.
You will not find anything lasting that is of this world, but in Me you will have eternal joy and the everlasting pleasure of My presence. In this world, you will know the struggles against the flesh, sin, and the world, but the one who endures to the end will taste of My salvation and be received into My compassion to reign and rule with Me. Do not be distracted by or made fearful from the voice of the world or the events of the nations, My called-out one, but hear My word and live so that you will not come into judgment, for My Word is life.
Accept the change that this world brings, for those changes, when you are walking in My ways, are preparing you for the new thing I am going to do in your life. Though the winds of change blow hard at times, My love, when you allow Me to steer the boat, they will bring you to the destination I have ordained and the blessings I have prepared.
Fret not, for I am with you always, and you will yet see My hand extended and My arm outstretched to perform the mighty wonders you have been promised.

When given many good sources to pay heed to, may you always remember that Jesus is the Son Whom God loves, and listen to Him. Mark 9

2 Thessalonians 3:3 …the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen [you] and set you on a firm foundation and guard you from the evil [one].

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

Isaiah 46:4 Even to your old age and gray hairs I am He, I am He who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.

May you be holy in thought, word, and deed through Christ Jesus because the Lord your God is holy. Leviticus 19

May you fear the Lord your God with inward reverence and esteem and, by outward respect and obedience, show no partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but shed the love of God abroad to all. Leviticus 19

May you turn from the false gods, the works of your hands, images of that which is created, and worship in spirit and in truth the only true God, the Creator, the One Who will make you holy. Leviticus 19

May you love your neighbor as yourself, for the Lord has first loved you. Leviticus 19

May you consecrate yourself to be holy and keep the decrees of the Lord to follow them for He is the One Who makes you holy. Leviticus 20

When your soul is downcast within you, My child, let My peace and comfort sink deep within you by remembering that you have been made the righteousness of God through Me. When your heart despairs, know that I have made you to be blameless before God’s holiness, for when you confess your sins, I am faithful and righteous to forgive your sins and cleanse you from all unrighteousness. Let My wisdom reside in the hidden part of your soul, for I desire truth in your innermost being.
Do you not realize that when you pray, I am the One praying through you? When you demonstrate gifts of mercy and graces of compassion to others, that they are My gifts and graces to you? When you act rightly and walk in a consistently just and righteous manner toward others, living in a consecrated and sanctified fashion, that it is I Who lives in you?
This is as it should be, My dear one. You are neither stealing from Me, nor are you living a lie. You cannot do anything to accomplish your own preservation, salvation, or sanctification, else why would I have had to come to earth and complete My work of salvation on the cross? I am the Alpha and the Omega; I am the Author and the Finisher of your faith-walk. Salvation is of Me, alone. Because I, who knew no sin, became sin for you, you who know nothing but the ways and thoughts and deeds of sin, now have become the righteousness of God.
It is strange and, at times, difficult to learn the ways of righteousness and the thoughts of compassion, but always remember: I finish what I start. I am there with you all the way. I am your Encourager, your Coach, your Mentor, your Pathfinder, your Strength-giver.
Accept My bounty, enter into My presence with confidence, draw near with a sincerely thankful heart, stand in the full assurance of faith, and receive a fresh increase of strength, for these are all provisions I have made and stamped with your name. They are yours, My love. Take them up and walk with Me in the joy of My salvation.

May your heart be open to what the Lord has to say so that you will have eyes to see and ears to hear, not only in the natural, but also in the Spirit, wherein is life and faith. Mark 8

May you be drawn aside by the Lord and allow His complete work to be accomplished in your body and your mind as His total healing takes effect, as the light of the morning, shining more and more unto the perfect day, reveals the fullness of Christ in your life. Mark 8

May you not attempt to limit the Lord or rely on your imperfect understanding of the nature and the plan of God’s kingdom when He begins to teach you what you need to know. Mark 8

May you deny yourself, take up your cross and follow the Lord Jesus, willing to lose your life for God and the Gospel, trusting Him to save it. Mark 8

May you forget, ignore, disown, and lose sight of yourself and your own interests and join Jesus Christ as a disciple, siding with His party, and follow with Him continually, cleaving steadfastly to Him, willingly giving up your life which is lived only on earth for His sake and the Gospel’s in order to save your higher, spiritual life in the eternal kingdom of God. Mark 8

May your inner self pant and long thirstily for the presence of the living God, desiring the time when you can come and meet with Him, knowing His heart and hearing His voice, even as the deer pants regularly and repeatedly, day after day, for streams of water which refresh and renew its life. Psalm 42

May you put your hope in God when your soul is downcast and disturbed within you, for then you will be able to praise Him, your Savior and your God. Psalm 42

May your prayer be to the God of your life, for by day the Lord directs His love and kindness toward you and at night His song remains with you, a prayer to the God of your life. Psalm 42

May you heed God’s discipline, for it shows the way to life, and not be like those who ignore correction and thereby lead others astray. Proverbs 10:17

May you heed instruction and correction so that you will not only yourself be in the way of life, but will be a way of life for others, unlike those who neglect or refuse reproof and not only himself goes astray but causes to err, and is a path toward ruin, for others. Proverbs 10:17

Isaiah 43:2 KJV When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

Leviticus 16

May you recognize the awesome price your redemption cost, and treasure the incomparable love of God which valued you enough to agree to the ransom, always regarding your Savior as holy and never with indifference. Leviticus 17

May you not follow the ways of the world, from which you were redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, your Savior, nor yet the traditions of men’s religion, holding to an outward form of godliness but remaining far from its power, from which you have been cleansed by the washing of the Spirit. Walk, instead, in the ever-closer intimacy of a relationship of personal love with the living God, Whose mercies are renewed every morning. Leviticus 18, 2 Timothy 3, Lamentations 3

Despise not the day of small beginnings, My child, nor reject the path of repetitive duty. Though your heart longs for the grand gesture and your mind pictures the wondrous public presentation, it is in the small, repetitive routines that My magnificence is best demonstrated.
Though you marvel when I answer someone’s prayer for an “impossible” request, without the eyes of the Spirit you will not understand that a life of daily devotion lay behind the honor I showed to My disciple by sovereignly answering their prayer, and the layers of trust, based on long experience that allowed My follower to publicly call upon My name before My answer was revealed.
You must abide in My word daily, not simply visit on seasonal holidays, in order to be in relationship with Me. You must walk with Me in the Spirit daily in prayer, in conversation and not a monologue, sharing the dreams and desires of your heart and listening with the ears of My Spirit to know My heart and to learn My will.
You must daily exercise your devotion in practical ways, looking for those I bring within reach for you to be My hand extended, serving by meeting the needs of others in humility. In this way, you will be founded on the solid bedrock of My unchanging love and will remain steadfast when I start shaking the heavens and the earth.
When the items and institutions that others have placed their dependence on start to fall away, you will already know that I will never desert you nor will I ever forsake you. When men’s hearts fail them in despair at the sight of the enemy all about, you will already be strong, for My joy will fill your spirit and your soul will rejoice in My presence.
The longest journey begins with a single step, and it ends with that final step; somehow, in the process, you find that you have changed. You are no longer that person you were when you started. You have matured, grown, become stronger, gained skills, increased in wisdom, but you cannot point to which of the journey’s steps brought it to pass.
So be diligent in your daily devotion, My love, and be steadfast in each day’s assignment to seek Me and meet Me, for that is where My majestic, awesome, miraculous power is expressed: here a little, there a little, line upon line, until others can see Me through you.

May you bring your petition in all humility to the Lord without ceasing, and make your request known to the Father in all abasement without relenting, forsaking all arrogance as you acknowledge His power and confess His authority, for He will always answer a persistent, needy heart and a resolute, desperate spirit. Mark 7

May you have compassion on those who are hungry and thirsting for more of the Lord, that the Father may move through you to satisfy their needs, and they would give Him the glory for what He has done. Mark 8

May you have compassion for, and mercy on, the weak for the Lord will deliver you in times of trouble, protecting and preserving your life, blessing you in the land and not surrendering you to the desire of your foes, sustaining you on your sickbed and restoring you from your bed of illness. Psalm 41

May you seek the Lord for mercy that He would heal you from your sin, guard you from your foes, and raise you up to stand firm against His enemies and, in His integrity, uphold you and set you in His presence forever. Psalm 41

2 Corinthians 5:7 For we live by faith, not by sight.

May you be aware that those things which are not known to others are known to the Lord and that the struggles and the sins that are your own are covered by His blood and overcome by His Spirit as you acknowledge them and accept His guidance, as you are nourished from the Word of God and strengthened by the exercise of prayer, looking to Jesus, Who is the Author and Finisher of your faith. Leviticus 15

May you ever remember that you are flesh and have inherited sin and unrighteousness, and that you are called to come before God Who is spirit and dwells in righteousness and holiness. Never forget that your right standing with God is imputed to you, daily, regularly, continually, by the love that leads you to embrace His Son, Jesus Christ, Who has made you accepted before the Father. Leviticus 16

May you study the Word of God and learn the power therein so that you may distinguish by the Spirit the dead letter upon which man’s traditions are built and the living, broken Bread which gives life and brings honor to the name of Christ as it demonstrates the compassion of the Father for others. Mark 7

May you be cleansed and made pure by all that comes from the heart of God, rather than polluted and unfit for God by all that comes from the heart of man. Mark 7

My child, know Me by seeking Me. Do not be preoccupied with doing good things, but by simply being with Me. Performing good deeds will not change you, My loved one, but you can not avoid being changed when you come into My presence.
Wait on Me, and when I send you, you will be effectual. Hear Me, not just in words, but in the flow of compassion and mercy, of gentle encouragement that reveals how I treasure you. I will then hear you when, using the same spirit and the same heart you have seen in Me, you ask for the needs of someone that I have sent you to.
Do not do charitable deeds out of your own heart. Many do so, but I did not send them and My love did not motivate them, and I will not recognize them.
Know Me, abide in Me, become lost in Me, make Me your focus, your goal, your purpose, the source of your strength, the motivation of your heart, the reason for your praise. Then, when I send you, you will be doing My will in My power for My kingdom as a testimony to My grace.
I do not look on the hands to see what they do, but I look on the heart to see why it is done. Make Me your “why.”

May you recognize your only hope is to be in the Lord’s love and faithfulness, for without His tender mercies you perish from the problems far too big for you to solve, piled higher than your head, and your sins, too many to count, will cause you to be ashamed to look up as your heart quails within you. Psalm 40

May the Lord rescue you as He comes to help you by turning around all those who are trying to destroy you, confusing them and disgracing the scoffers as He sends them sprawling in utter failure. Psalm 40

May the joy of the Lord be given to everyone who loves Him and His salvation, who constantly exclaim, “How great God is!” Psalm 40

May the Lord, Who is thinking about you right now, come quickly and save you without delay, for though you are poor and weak, the Lord God is your Savior. Psalm 40

May you be as the wise man who holds his tongue, lest you find sorrow and trouble as a fool who blurts out everything he knows. Proverbs 10:14

May you be as a man with common sense who is admired as a counselor, lest you be beaten as a servant like those without it. Proverbs 10:13

Proverbs 21:3 The LORD is more pleased when we do what is right and just than when we offer him sacrifices.

May you be comforted that although missing the mark may take you afield from fellowship of the believers, yet you have a merciful High Priest Who will always meet you where you are, is able to know your heart completely and judge righteously, and cleanses you with His own freely-offered sacrifice and brings you back once again to full fellowship. Leviticus 14

May you give thanks with the sacrifice of praise before the people of God for restoration of fellowship given by the blood of Jesus, which cleanses and justifies, and the oil of the Spirit, which heals and sanctifies, covering your thoughts and intents, your words and deeds, your steps and testimony. Leviticus 14

May you follow after holiness expressed in compassion for those who are where you have been and offer the comfort, strength, and encouragement which points to your Savior, their Answer, the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Leviticus 14

May you be certain that the Lord knows the tolls that are made on you in the doing of His work and provides the rest, recuperation, refreshing, and renewal that you need. Mark 6

May you be confident of the abundance of Christ’s provision for you, using what is at hand, however limited it may seem to your sight, and know that the only ones who leave empty are those who are filled with themselves. Mark 6

My child, stand ready to go. Leave nothing undone that needs to be completed, no debt unpaid in relationships except the debt of love, nothing that will draw you back or take your eyes off of Me. Be not entangled in the world, or the cares thereof, for you cannot fix what is wrong or save that which is perishing.
My arm is strong to save, and My Spirit is sent forth into the world to convict all of sin, and righteousness, and judgment.
You, however, are My appointed messenger of My grace, mercy, and love.
The tender mercies of the ruler of this world toward all he dominates are cruel and uncaring, heartless and without compassion, condemning and judgmental. If that is what they receive from those who come in My Name, what reason do they have to come to Me? If My light is darkness, what will draw them?
Rehearse My mercies in your life, My precious one, and remember from whence you came. Let My praise bubble up from your heart, regardless of where you are on the road of your pilgrimage, and let My true worship, in spirit and truth, flow from your lips, making much of Me before others.
As I have filled your cup to overflowing with the eternal treasures of heaven, even so let the jostling crowd cause the fruit of My Spirit in your life to spill out, indiscriminately, abundantly, without judgment, upon all who come your way, and upon all who touch your life. Know that you will not run short of My love, for it is boundless. My goodness and mercy can be freely shared, for they follow you in close attendance all the days of your life.
Come out from the ways and the behaviors of the world, My beloved one, and walk in My Spirit as My child. You will often be misunderstood and misrepresented by the children of darkness, but you will be My beacon, showing forth the light of My hope. The dark stormy waves will crash against you, for that is what I have called you to, and that is the purpose for which I have placed you in the world. That, My child, is why I have filled your cup so full.

May you collect what is left, not wasting any of His bounty, for you know there are many with needs. Mark 6

May you be comforted knowing that Christ is interceding on high when the wind and waves are against you, and that no opposition can hinder, halt, or delay His appearance in, through, and to you. Mark 6

May you wait patiently for the Lord as He turns to you and hears your cry, as He lifts you out of the mud and mire, giving your feet a firm place to stand, and putting a hymn of praise to God in your mouth, for in this way many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord. Psalm 40

Blessed are you when you make the Lord your trust, and do not look to the proud who turn aside to false gods, for many are the wonders the Lord your God has done and the things He has planned for you are too many to declare were I to speak and tell of them. Psalm 40

May you willingly give your ear to the Lord to pierce, as a servant who loves his Master and is glad to give up his freedom permanently and do His will since God’s law is within your heart, for God’s requirement and desire is not burnt offering and sin offerings, only your will and your heart. Psalm 40

May you speak of God’s faithfulness and salvation, proclaiming righteousness in the great assembly, not hiding His righteousness in your heart or concealing His love and truth from those around you. Psalm 40

May you speak from the heart of the Father, for the mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, and His love covers over all wrongs. Proverbs 10:11-12

1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Hebrews 4:16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,

May you walk in the freedom of fulfilled law and the liberty of imputed righteousness that Christ has brought you, releasing you from men’s traditions and weighty expectations, so that through the Spirit you may love the Lord your God with your whole being, and your neighbor as yourself. Leviticus 11

May you willingly accept and be motivated to participate in the self-discipline and training that God prepares for you, knowing that although all things are lawful, not all things are expedient, and your response to the love of the Father which draws you is to be the love of the child who, as co-heir, is focused on learning rather than playing. Leviticus 11

May you show yourself obedient during the testing by the Lord, as He reveals each lack in your heart, offering Himself as the solution to your need. This will give you the liberty to release the substitute answers you had devised, and embrace His free gift instead, casting out murmuring to receive thanksgiving, releasing frustration and accepting patience, putting off criticism and putting on encouragement. Remember that He is the Lord your God Who has redeemed you, and called you to consecrate yourself to be holy, because He is holy. Leviticus 11

Let My Word do a complete work in your heart as you consider and dwell in your thoughts upon all that I have said to you. If you found a ring of keys in the room your kidnappers imprisoned you, would you ignore the opportunity to escape simply because there were so many keys on the ring?
Though I have shown you My acts as I have brought you out of your former way of life, My desire is to bring you closer to Me, drawing you near to My heart as I reveal My ways to you. You are called, for you are beloved in the Father and sanctified, set aside, kept through the Spirit for the Son. Learn the truths I guide you into through your daily walk and practice them in your relationships and interactions with Me and with one another so that you may be set apart from the people of the world.
As you are in a cleansing and training time before being presented to the King, avail yourself of the advice and directions of those who have been set about you, those who care for your soul, and learn the use of the gifts that beautify and adorn you in His sight, that He would find you purified and zealous for good works, making a distinction from those of the world who pursue only their own desires and seek only their own interests.
Keep your heart turned toward Me by looking always for the blessed hope and the appearing of My glory, for it is the Father Who both sends Me and draws you, according to His foreknowledge and grace.
Draw close to Me when the pathway grows perilous, for I will not abandon you. Receive My comfort when evil people prosper, for I will reveal to you their end. Know My Word and walk in it, for through its truth, your spirit and soul and body will be preserved complete, without blame at My coming, when you join Me at the wedding feast of the Son.

May you walk in the freedom of fulfilled law and the liberty of imputed righteousness that Christ has brought you, releasing you from men’s traditions and weighty expectations, so that through the Spirit you may love the Lord your God with your whole being, and your neighbor as yourself. Leviticus 11

May you willingly accept and be motivated to participate in the self-discipline and training that God prepares for you, knowing that although all things are lawful, not all things are expedient, and your response to the love of the Father which draws you is to be the love of the child who, as co-heir, is focused on learning rather than playing. Leviticus 11

May you show yourself obedient during the testing by the Lord, as He reveals each lack in your heart, offering Himself as the solution to your need. This will give you the liberty to release the substitute answers you had devised, and embrace His free gift instead, casting out murmuring to receive thanksgiving, releasing frustration and accepting patience, putting off criticism and putting on encouragement. Remember that He is the Lord your God Who has redeemed you, and called you to consecrate yourself to be holy, because He is holy. Leviticus 11

May you walk in the calling that God has given you, not in one that you take upon yourself or have been assigned by a person without the testimony of the Word and the witness of the Spirit in your heart and through Christ’s Body, for it is so often not what you do, as much as it is why you do it, that allows the blessings of God to be released. Leviticus 9

May you recognize the need to do spiritual duty each day, redeeming the time, so that you may give account to your Master with joy. Leviticus 9

May you minister to the Lord with an humble spirit and a contrite heart, knowing and confessing your need for Christ’s atonement to purify and the Spirit to give life as you obediently follow His leading.

I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. My plans stand firm forever, and My intentions can never be shaken. My will shall be done on earth, even as it is in heaven, and My kingdom shall endure forever.
I do not change, I do not lie. I am completely trustworthy, for I keep My promises. That is why I have drawn you to Me, sealed you with My Holy Spirit of promise, and sent you forth equipped in My Spirit to make disciples of whosoever will, from the highways and the byways, from the country lanes and the hedges, for My house shall be full. The people whom I have called and formed for Myself will declare My praise as I reveal My manifold wisdom in accordance with the eternal purpose of the redemption I have purchased for you who are My inheritance.
You are a chosen tribe, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for My own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of My will, My plan, My purpose in calling you out of darkness into the marvelous light of My Word. Receive My comfort, that you may comfort others in the same distress; accept My healing of your body, your mind, your heart, your spirit, that you may bring My healing to others who are suffering and in pain.
I will guide you continually as you draw out your soul to the hungry. I will attend to your necessities as you care for those to whom I send you. I am not the Head of misers nor the Leader of those who oppress the poor; I am the First-Born of many brethren who carry the heart of the Father to His lost, wounded, and wandering children.
Let My life flow to those around you – they will either reject it and I will move you on, or they will be added to My kingdom, walking in the abundance of My life and the blessings of My promises as they go the way I lead them. They, too, will be My witnesses to others of Who I am to them, just as you have demonstrated to them My love and My power to change your heart and your life.
So draw near, My child, daily, hourly, moment by moment, walk in My presence, let Me shed My joy abroad through your heart that My comforts may delight your soul.

May you diligently sow the seed of God’s word as He directs, trusting the Spirit to brood over the life in the Word as you go about your duties to the Father while the working of His grace proceeds as He wills. Though it starts small, it is not to be despised, neither despaired over, for when the harvest comes, rejoicing will be full. Mark 4

May you not be afraid, but have faith that the Lord cares for you and is concerned about you, whether He calms the storm around you or remains in the boat with you through the storm. In His presence is safety and refuge apart from circumstances, and peace that is not a reflection from the world but the nature of God. Mark 4

May you not be distressed when people overlook the glorious victories and eternal changes completed by God’s Spirit in your life and instead focus only on the material or natural changes that your new lifestyle effects. Mark 5

May you understand the involvement you have in honoring the Lord so that you do not come before Him empty-handed, because it is not enough to let the music leader sing for you, or the minister to feed you, or the fellowship to encourage you without you actively partaking, for the sacrifice at the tabernacle required you to bring an animal from your flock, lay your hand on its head as you cut its throat, then you skin the carcass and butcher the animal so that you can bring the fat and the breast to the altar to be presented to the Lord. Leviticus 7

May the blood of the Lamb cover your thoughts, your emotions, and your will, freeing them to seek and choose the Lord; may the blood of the Lamb be over your actions and deeds, so that you obey God and reveal His heart to others; may the blood of the Lamb protect your path, that no enemy attack or ambush will succeed in diverting you from drawing closer to the Father.

Treasure My words in your heart, for they will keep you from missing the mark or straying from the path I have set your feet upon; through obeying My words, you will enter into fellowship with Me, and I will become to you wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption.
But stand in faith, trusting Me with all your heart. Do not lean on your own understanding, even though My words appear foolish in your eyes; for the foolishness of God is wiser than men, just as the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Have you not realized that to obey My words will cause you to appear weak to the world? And to receive the wisdom of My words as a treasured gift is to reject the wisdom of the world?
It is My good pleasure to shame the world’s wisdom with that which they call foolish, and it is My victory to shame the strength of the world through that which they consider weak. In this way, none may boast for the glory shall be Mine.

May you be content with the few material things that the righteous have rather than desiring the wealth of many wicked, for the power of the wicked will be broken, but the Lord upholds the righteous. Psalm 37

Leviticus 6

May you understand and accept that you must make the effort to gather the fuel and take time for the preparation in cleaning the altar, removing the ash, selecting and laying the wood with care to ensure that the fire on the altar will continue to burn all night, fully consuming the burnt offering, maintaining the fire which originally came down from heaven. Leviticus 6

May you recognize, as you come before the heavenly High Priest, Jesus Christ, in humility and repentance of sin, that you have nothing of value to offer in atonement, for those who approach with pride and arrogance bearing their fleshly works and worldly status will leave the same as they arrived. In your need, may you realize that He is holding out to you a sacrificial Lamb without blemish for the atonement and removal of your sin, acceptable before God, for it is His Son, your High Priest Himself. As you accept the free gift of His blood, His life, as the offering, may you present your peace offering of praise and your free-will offering of thanks as you enter into fellowship with the King of kings and Lord of lords. Leviticus 7

May you prepare your heart, considering all that God has done for you, and ready your mind, understanding the depth of your need for Him, that your love for the Father may more and more reflect the great love He has for you. He calls those He wants, those He knows, those He loves, and those who love Him will respond, consenting to go away with Him, moving their focus from their will on earth to the Father’s will in heaven. Mark 3

May you not be so confident in your knowledge or so certain in your doctrine that no room is found for the truth of God, for we know in part and understand in part, and will never completely comprehend the fullness of God. Mark 3

Make the most of each day, My child, for this day is all you have.
I have much to give you that is of value, but you spend so much time trying to pick through it and choose what you want, planning to discard what you find unpleasant. Accept it all, My dear one, for it is balanced to your needs and will be health to your bones.
It is from My hand, both the smile and pleasant greeting from a dear friend and the scowl and disregard from the next person who comes your way. I place both in your path, for the bitter prevents over-indulgence in the sweet, and gives you perspective on My goodness.
You have need of maturity for the tasks you will be given, but how can you reach maturity if all things are rosy and fall into place without effort? Look beyond the frustrations and anxieties of the immediate issue, My love, and see My hand drawing you into that secret place in My Spirit where your thirst is satisfied and your hunger is sated.
Just as you value the person who has shown stability and perseverance through hard circumstance and life’s trials, even though they fall, if they get up again and go on, you feel respect for the strength of character they possess; this is what I am achieving in your life, My sweet one, drawing the fragrance of faith and trust from your character to bless those around you.

May you willingly, and gratefully, receive and submit to the check of your conscience or the reproof of a friend, either of which are sent by the Spirit of God, lest by ignorance having fallen into sin, you do not through ignorance continue in it. Leviticus 4

May you understand that only the willing, sacrificial offering of Christ Jesus’ own blood can remove the penalty and heal the disfiguring of sin, and nothing of your own works will ever be sufficient. But His cure for sin can only be applied when you approach Him in specific confession and repentant prayer, accepting the depth of your guilt and acknowledging your need for His forgiveness. Leviticus 5

I have placed you in My family, My child, for you have need of fellowship and companionship.
I am your Source, your Head, your Elder Brother; your first, and primary, relationship must be with Me. But I have given you gifts that must be used within the Body of Christ, the family of Christ, for the maturing, the perfecting, the knitting together of the saints into a loving, cooperating, skillful, functional unit.
Pray for one another, carry one another’s burdens, sorrow with those who sorrow and rejoice with those who know My joy. Without this training, My precious one, how can eternity, surrounded by the numberless multitudes around My throne, be eagerly anticipated?
Although nothing can sever the bond of love I have with you, you cannot be isolated from the rest of the Body, for that is where My love is, as well.
Reach out in My love to one another and see My love reaching back to you, that your fellowship may be full and your relationship with Me may be complete.

May you willingly acknowledge your need for God’s help, for He does not have time for the self-made and self-sufficient since He is sent as a doctor to the sick, and a redeemer to those who are captive. Mark 2

May you have eyes to see beyond the traditions, habits, and teachings that separate you from the truth of God that you might be free of the restraints which hold you back from the work of God. Mark 2

May you know that Christ Jesus, through His love for us, gave Himself up for us as a fragrant offering and acceptable sacrifice to God, once for all, shedding His blood in atonement for our sin, that we might be received into the fellowship of the family of God, requiring no further blood sacrifice for sin on our part. Leviticus 1

May you present yourself as a living and holy sacrifice to God, on account of His mercies and compassions, to provide your reasonable offering of spiritual service. Leviticus 2, Romans 12

May you bring to God daily the sacrifice of thankfulness from a spirit and heart broken of pride and emptied of ego, with oil giving the wisdom of the Spirit to soften your service, frankincense giving the humility to sweeten your fellowship, and salt giving the endurance of trust to your relationship with God and man. Leviticus 3

May you daily find that solitary place where you can pray, giving yourself to God in fellowship, and listening for His direction, that you may receive the wisdom, compassion, understanding, and power that will enable you to minister to the needs of those around you through the Word of God. Mark 1

May you not be fooled into believing you are whole and complete, without need and having no short-comings apart from Christ, but be blessed with spiritual understanding to see the terminal and desperate need of your heart which only the Lord can meet, for if you can maintain that constant sense of need and remain ever aware of your desperation, God’s blessings can flow through you without hindrance. Mark 2

Know that in Me, My child, you have life, not merely breath and consciousness, but true vibrant awareness of My majesty and glory, ever-increasing understanding of, and gratitude for, My work in your heart and soul and mind, relief from the burdening lies of the enemy of your soul and freedom from the imprisoning appetites of the flesh.
This is the life of the Spirit which gives you feet like deer to jump from rock to crag on the high mountains, exuberance where formerly there was fear, confidence where formerly there was doubt, joy where formerly there was anxiety.
Even as the path I lead you on takes you from the mountain top to the valleys, you will find along the path continued abundance of the life I give, so that you have light when the shadows grow deep and safety when your path takes you near the lair of the predator, for I am always with you, and will never forsake or abandon you. My eye is always upon you and I am never distracted from, or disinterested in, you.
Walk with Me in My joy and discover new depths of My love for you. Work with Me in My harvest and learn of My compassion for others. Pray with Me in the silent hours and learn of My sorrows for those who are blind and deaf to My pleadings. Rejoice with Me over each one who heeds the call in their heart and, looking up, turns to Me and starts learning and receiving the true life which I have come to give to all.

May you set up the tabernacle of God in your life, turning your heart to the Lord in devotion and worship, in the midst of the wilderness, during your trials and tribulations, not abandoning the seeking of Him at the time you need Him the greatest, for His guidance and His protection will see you through the darkest and bleakest times safely to the settled and fruitful years. Exodus 40

May you always practice the presence of God, turning your thoughts in praise to Him, studying and applying His Word in your life, speaking without ceasing with Him, that you may dwell with the Lord always in the Tent of Meeting, protected by His covering shadow by day and warmed by His fire in the dark, ever prepared to wait on the Lord as long as He stays, and always ready to move when the presence of His glory lifts and leads you further in your pilgrimage. Exodus 40

May your words & deeds, expressing God’s love and truth, when directly empowered by the Holy Spirit, as you reach out to others, prepare the way for Christ Jesus to come into the hearts of those in great darkness. Mark 1

May you see in the special times of God’s blessing and covering the promise and assurance of His provision and protection through seasons of endurance, as when Jesus went from His baptism by John to His temptations by Satan. Mark 1

May you recognize that there are many under the influence of God’s enemy, quietly attending the congregations and assemblies of God’s people and slowly sowing seeds of doubt and division to block the development of the Spirit’s unity and prevent the expression of God’s love, who, though not challenged by formal teaching, will respond in open confrontation to the presence of the Lord’s power. Mark 1

Come to Me in your weakness and sin, your confusion and corruption, your uncleanness and iniquities and trespasses. Do not hide, do not fear My presence, do not try to cover yourself from My sight, but only come with the desire to be clean, to turn from those things that cause you to wither like a leaf.
Come with a desire to confess My glory and acknowledge My praise, though you recognize your unworthiness and inability, for I will cleanse you, I will strengthen you, I will ground and plant and stabilize you and make you a pillar in My temple and enable you to glorify Me both now and forever.
Though your nature be as plain as wood, I will shape you to My purpose and cover you with the gold of My nature. Though your weave be common as cotton, I will intersperse My threads of gold and silver, creating the beauty your heart has hungered for. Though your tongue is not skilled, I will cause My praise to flow forth and send My Spirit to bring life to others as you speak My truth.
Simply obey Me, and do not deny Me, and I will acknowledge you before the Father and His angels, and honor you before men by confirming My word concerning you.

May you call to, and wait on, the Lord to contend with those who contend with you, and to fight with those who fight against you, that He may come to your aid against those who pursue you, and be your salvation. Psalm 35

May your hands remain occupied with the tasks God has given you, trusting to His shield and buckler to cover you, and His spear and javelin to defend you, that you may focus on His will and not be distracted from His work. Psalm 35

May the spiritual powers who plot your ruin be turned back in dismay, and the people influenced by them to attack your reputation be disgraced and put to shame, that they may turn from their old masters and seek the redemption of the One you serve. Psalm 35

May you rejoice in the Lord from the bottom of your heart for the One Who has no equal in all heaven and earth shall rescue you. Psalm 35

May you cry to the Lord in your need when the spiritual enemies of your soul seek to ensnare you, through the carnal nature we all struggle against, by digging a pit to trap you without cause, for the Angel of the Lord will drive them away like vain and worthless chaff, pursuing them on the dark and slippery path they intended for you; then your soul can rejoice in the Lord and your whole being will delight in His salvation, for who is like the Lord, rescuing the weak from those stronger and the needy from the spoilers. Psalm 35

May you humble yourself in prayer before the Lord when the people who spitefully use you are in trouble and need God’s help, fulfilling God’s command and showing God’s love to all, that they may be drawn to God the Father through Jesus the Son. Psalm 35

May you receive God’s wisdom, through which your days will be many and your life will gain years, making the hours of your day more profitable and the years of your life more fruitful. Proverbs 9:11-12
