Romans 8:35,37-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?…No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

May you know that to come against the people that God has chosen is to invite the fire of God to destroy your defenses and break down your strength, but to reject the law of the Lord is to cause Him to destroy your fruit above and your root below, for the swift will not escape, the strong will lose their strength, and the warrior will not survive. Amos 1,2

May you accept that just as the Lord has chosen to bless you and draw you closer to Him than others, so you will be held to a tighter standard than others, for the finest garments will be reserved for the momentous occasions, but are subjected to the most rigorous cleaning. Amos 3

May you recall that nothing happens without a cause, for two cannot walk together unless they have determined a destination, made an appointment to meet and agreed on the way to get there, for without friendship in God there can be no fellowship with God. Amos 3

May you be assured that for every action of the Lord there is a certain and predictable reaction among His people, for just as the Lord will do nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the prophets, even so when the Lord speaks, who can refuse to proclaim His message if they have His fear in their thoughts, His glory in their view, and His love for others in their hearts? Amos 3

May you always practice the righteousness of God with the generosity of God, not hoarding, with closed fists behind locked doors, plunder and loot from your own efforts, but sharing, with open hands, the abundance of God’s love out in the marketplace with those who need it most. Amos 3

Look to your goals, dear one, and understand where your treasure is. My purpose is for your soul to be prosperous and your spirit strong; too often your purpose is for your account to be fat and your status secure.
These things can, indeed, come to pass, My child, for I control all the riches of this world and the next, and I possess all authority in heaven and earth; I raise to power those I chose and I humble those I will. But My desire is that none should perish and that all should be saved. What is your desire?
Would you willingly give all that you hold dear to make it possible for even one to know Me as Redeemer? I have. Would you gladly accept the scorn, the shame, the ridicule, the mis-judgment, the disrespect, the misunderstanding of the public as well as the elite and respected of the world for even a single one to be accepted by the heavenly Father? I did.
With this Mind in you, then material wealth carries no value and social status has no attraction. With your desires set on the spiritual riches of heaven, you will be prepared for eternity, and not distracted by the vanishing benefits of the world.
Seek Me first, My beloved, and rejoice to do the service of My kingdom. Then, whether I assign you riches or poverty, strength or weakness, authority or submission, they will each be but tools for the work that is left to be done. You will be sealed in Me and seated with Me in heavenly places, enriched with unfading treasures of My Spirit and blessed with unending joy in My Presence.

May you not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. Though you have been afflicted in your poverty and slandered by the self-righteous, and though you will be tested by prison and persecution for a time, you need only remain faithful to the end, and Christ the Lord will give you the crown of life. Revelation 2

May you turn from accepting and permitting the teachings and practices of the enemy to coexist with the truth of God. Though you remain true to His name and refuse to renounce your faith, even during extreme persecution, unless you separate out the wicked and the false from your midst, the Lord Himself will speak against them; yet to each who overcomes will Christ, our Redeemer, give hidden manna and a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one who receives it. Revelation 2

May you endure through the oppression of the enemy so that they will not gain the victory over you. The Lord is righteous and will cut you free from the cords of the wicked. Psalm 129

Turn your eyes toward Me and focus your attention on My Word. Seek the riches of My eternal wisdom and understanding mingled with the treasures of My boundless mercy and grace.
Those who depend on the diversions of the world for satisfaction and seek out the riches of the nations for strength and security will fall as the nations fall and be devoured by fire as the world is burned in My purging and My cleansing.
But as you fall at My feet willingly, you will not be broken as the arrogant. As you humble yourself in response to My majesty, you will know My compassion and lovingkindness rather than My anger and wrath.
Be not of the earth as the pot of clay that receives the rod of iron to shatter it, but learn to live in the heavenlies as My servants do, gathering My harvest and withstanding My enemies, binding the wounds of My flock while overcoming the lion and bear that would attack them.
I have much that needs to be done, and I will ensure that it is accomplished – walk with Me and see what I will accomplish through you.

May you understand how involved God has been in your life from the earliest moments to the present, always there, upholding you in times of weakness, training you in times of learning, strengthening you in time of adversity, healing you in times of illness, feeding you in times of hunger when your soul sought for that which you did not know, never speaking of Himself but always attending to your needs, that you may revere Him and humbly acknowledge His loving Lordship over you. Hosea 11

May you return to the Lord, trembling, from where you have wandered, following Him when He roars like a lion against the spiritual forces that seek to attack you, that He may settle you in the place He has given you to protect and care for you for He cannot give you up or hand you over to the enemy. Hosea 11

Hosea 14

May you know that in Him the fatherless find compassion. Hosea 14

May you be wise, so you can realize Who He is, and may you be discerning that you may understand what He does, for the ways of the Lord are right and the righteous will walk in them, but the rebellious will stumble. Hosea 14

May God heal your waywardness and love you freely, causing you to blossom like the lily and send down roots like a cedar, making your splendor like that of an olive tree and your fame like fragrant wine from the vine. Hosea 14

May the Lord answer you and care for you, and your fruitfulness come from Him. Hosea 14

The way of a child starts with utter dependency, requiring all needs met, just as you in your sins could not redeem yourself, My dear one. Therefore, I have watched over you, given you constant care, been ever attentive to your needs, loving you, encouraging you, nourishing you.
As a child grows by having their needs met, so I have provided for your needs, My precious one. Look back and realize it is so.
My joy now is for you to step forth in strength, My loving one; not a strength of your own, but the strength you receive from My love, My Word, My Spirit.
Let your child-like dependency develop normally, appropriately, joyfully, into maturing trust and faith, My growing one. Thus, you can stand in the day of trial, knowing I am your rear-guard, and rescue those who are bound and captive, pointing them to Me, the Redeemer of whosoever will.

May mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance. Jude 1

May you contend for the faith that has been once and for all entrusted to God’s people, and do not allow the grace of God to be changed into a license for immorality, lest you deny Jesus Christ, your only Sovereign and Lord. Jude 1

Hosea 6

May you offer mercy to those around you rather than sacrifice in the congregation, and may you rightfully acknowledge God to those who hunger to know Him rather than offer burnt offerings without a contrite heart, so that your love for God may deepen and broaden, enduring beyond the rising of the sun, which burns away the morning mist, and refreshing weary travelers in the heat of the day. Hosea 6

May you cry out to the Lord from your heart for He longs to redeem you from destruction. Hosea 7

May you turn to God in love, desiring to serve Him in gratitude and proclaim Him in truth, for then He will extend His protection over you. Hosea 8

May your love and worship of God be pure and from the heart, undefiled and obedient, in humble fear and reverent awe of your majestic Creator and loving Redeemer, for those who give lip-service only, seeking empty forms to follow, without personal cost or involvement, corrupt the worship of God and turn the altar of sin offerings into an altar for sinning. Hosea 8

May you be faithful to God in your devotion, giving Him the first-fruits of your strength, meeting Him at the start of the day, keeping Him first in your thoughts throughout your work, for mere labor will not feed you, nor will business strategy clothe you, and dedicated effort to achieve your goals, without acknowledging God in all your ways, will become idolatry and lead to desolation. Hosea 9

I see more in you, My child, than you are aware of having. I know the seed of life that I planted in your heart, My dear one, when you turned to me in repentance and forsook your own ways, yielding to My grace and love.
I rejoice in the potential that I am growing you into, My precious one, as you humble yourself under My hand and align yourself with My word. Therefore I continue working with you, My willing one, coaxing you, encouraging you, exhorting you, disciplining you, patiently cultivating My nature in you.
Do not ever believe that at any time I become impatient with you or act out of frustration toward you; My compassion for you is without limit and My loving kindness will never run out.
Turn to Me in every situation – I always welcome you. Seek Me for every answer – I will never rebuke you for disturbing Me. Obey Me in the small things – I will reward you lavishly.
You are the apple of My eye – I will cover and protect you. You are the delight of My heart – I will abide with you and never abandon or forsake you. Test Me, and trust Me, for I never change, and I am sufficient to see you through all that I guide you into.

Minister to Me, My child. Offer the sacrifices of praise and worship. Give the wave offering of your joy and pour out the drink offering of your strength. Make the burnt offering of your will, your understanding, your intentions, your plans, hopes, and dreams as a sweet-smelling savor to Me.
Minister first to the Lord your God so that you may be purified and cleansed, equipped for every good work, emptied of yourself so that you may be filled with My glory, which is My truth and My power. Then, and only then, will you be able to serve living water and the bread of life to My people.
There are many who “minister” to the people, giving them what is popular and pleasing, but it does not mature or strengthen them; those “ministers” have not come before Me or been sent by Me, for they are serving their own purposes.
You must daily present yourself to Me before you can be sent out from Me as a servant in My name to those who will be the heirs of salvation. Learn of Me by walking with Me so you can represent Me in the truth and the power of My love which laid down My life for the sake of others.

John 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name:

Hebrews 12:5 And you have forgotten that word of encouragement that addresses you as sons: “My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you…

1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

Psalm 112:6-7 Surely he will never be shaken; a righteous man will be remembered forever. He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

May you realize the extent of His love toward you in that He personally retrieved you from the certain destiny your choices invoked, not with far-off weapons, or even hand-to-hand combat, but by interposing Himself between you and the enemy rushing to destroy you. For without defense, He accepted the blows, endured the attacks, received the hate, and embraced the death that was designated for, and earned by, you in your enmity toward, and rebellion against, He Who is your Creator, and Who desires to be your closest, only, and most intimate Friend, Lover, and Husband. Hosea 1

May you glimpse the reality of God’s plan for you in all the circumstances that come your way, that you may realize how graciously God is planning to do you good in everything He arranges for you, whether turning your previously rich environment to dry hostile surroundings, or isolating you within prickly constraints from those who were once close confidantes and trusted companions. For all things have become new and all relationships must be recreated through Him when you are betrothed to your Lord and Master, your Creator and Source, your Redeemer and Deliverer. Hosea 2

May you grow in your response to the grace and mercy shown you by God as He speaks tenderly to you in the dry and lonely times, and may you no longer strive against His restraints as your Lord, but be drawn into His love as your Husband, developing trust, increasing reliance, extending dependence, as He betroths you to Him forever, in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion, so that as He betroths you in faithfulness, you will acknowledge Him in love. Hosea 2

May you say to Him, ‘You are my God,’ as He confirms that you are His own by planting you for Himself, sowing His blessings in your life, and no longer scattering them out of your reach, as He grants the desire of the heavens to give rain in response to the desire of the earth to nourish the seeds which will flourish and yield to you the grain, the new wine and the oil that will make you prosper and be an effective helpmate, beloved of the Lord. Hosea 2

May you seek the person of Christ Jesus, desiring to know Him more intimately and follow Him more closely, for He desires a relationship with you and will guide you in the way needed, providing encouragement as well as loving restriction as required, so that you may come to the Lord in awe and be blessed.

I am calling you to faithful service in My kingdom, My dear one. I have tested you and examined you, and I have found you to be a trustworthy servant who desires to do My will. I have assignments for you to carry out, but I know that in your heart, you hesitate. You have grown to know My provision and trust My power, but you still doubt yourself.
My child, I don’t call you to perfect service; I call you to willing, obedient, faithful service. I call you to service with ME. My Spirit will make your work effective, just as He makes your prayers acceptable. I long to have you work alongside Me that you and I may know the fellowship of being co-laborers.
Step out in faith; see the fruits of obedience and know the joy of fellowship with Me.

May you adhere to, trust in, and rely on the fact that Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah, the Anointed One of God, for all who do have been born again of God, and every one who loves the Father also loves His off-spring. The way that you come to understand and recognize that you love His children is when you love God and are mindful of His precepts and teachings, keeping His ordinances, which are not irksome, burdensome, oppressive or grievous, since when you are born of God by having faith that Jesus is the Son of God, your faith gives you the victory that overcomes the world. 1 John 5

May you accept the testimony of God as true which He has given through the Spirit, Who bears witness, about His Son, that you may bear His testimony in your heart, which is that God has given you eternal life in His Son. 1 John 5

May you have the confidence in approaching God that if you ask anything in agreement with His own plan, He hears you, and knowing He hears you, whatever you ask, you know with settled assurance that He has granted to you as your present possession what you asked of Him. 1 John 5

May you know with absolute confidence that anyone born of God does not deliberately and knowingly practice committing sin, for the One Who was begotten of God, Christ’s divine presence within you, carefully watches over and protects you, preserving you against evil, and the wicked one does not lay hold of, or get a grip on, you. 1 John 5

May you actively keep your mind focused on the things of God and persistently delight yourself in His Word that you may stay away from anything and everything that would occupy the place in your heart due to God, from any sort of substitute for Him that would take first place in your life. 1 John 5

May you willingly and gratefully confess that if it had not been the Lord Who was on your side when opposition rose up against you, then you would have been swallowed up alive, the flood waters would have overwhelmed you and the raging torrent swept you away. Psalm 124

May you give praise to the Lord, your Help, the Maker of heaven and earth, in Whose Name the enemy’s snare has been broken, allowing you to escape like a bird that was caught and about to be killed. Psalm 124

Proverbs 22:4 Humility is the fear of the Lord; its wages are riches and honor and life.

Philippians 2:13 For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him.

May you not be surprised when authorities and principalities in the world exalt and magnify themselves above values and principles, norms and guidelines, even above the Word of God, and succeed in being accepted by many, for God works with willing vessels, and a time of wrath must be completed, for what has been determined must take place. Daniel 11

May you take notice when the time of distress occurs, that God will defend and protect, shield and cover, deliver and redeem His people, all whose names are found written in His book. Daniel 11

Turn to Me, My child, in all things. Come to Me for comfort, find in Me wisdom for the day, receive from Me the provision I have promised daily. I long to embrace you in My arms and let you find the blessings I have prepared for you.
Spend time alone in your heart with Me, My dear one, and let your thoughts become focused on Me. I have much to tell you, and you have much to learn of Me. Set aside the cares and concerns that distract you and hear Me speaking encouragement and strength into your life as I express My love for you.
You must seek Me with your whole heart, focused and eager, because that which I have prepared for you is hidden. Do not be discouraged by this or disheartened, for that which you seek is not hidden from you, but it is hidden for you.
As you look for Me and follow My footprints, hearing My whispers, drawing close and recognizing My fragrance, you will encounter those things which speak to you of the depth and width and length and height of My love.
Do not settle for the crumbs and handfuls that others share from the abundance I have given them, but persist in your pursuit and receive all that is yours from My hand.
Do not be content to only hear someone else tell you how much I love you, but continually seek Me until you hear the full expression of My love for you from My own lips.
Although the path is challenging because the world will place brambles and thorns in your way, the flesh will put stumbling stones and rocks on your path, and the enemy will flood the way to drag you down and mire your progress, still I am with you and will make the way for you. Turn always to Me.

May you understand in humility and gratitude that God loved you first and sent His Son, Jesus Christ, as an atoning sacrifice for your sins so that you might live because of His work and love one another, relying on the love God has for you, so that His love is made complete. 1 John 4

May you live in the calm certainty of God’s love for you, and know God’s love in your life for others, having no fear of the day of judgment, for His perfect love drives out any fear of punishment, freeing you to love God and love others, giving to their needs just as God has given to your needs. 1 John 4

May you be wise in the Lord and instruct many, giving understanding and insight to endure tribulation and withstand persecution. May you know that the harm the enemy intends for destruction and evil will be turned by God to good, bringing refinement and purification. He will have a spotless people, being cleansed until the appointed time, which will come, for the Lord has declared it. Daniel 11

May you realize that the Son of God appeared to destroy the devil’s work, for the person who makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, but the person who has allowed the Word of God to reside in them cannot live a persistently sinful life. All things are become new for them; they are a new creation, having been born into the family of God. 1 John 3

May you love one another, avoiding the error of Cain, who murdered his brother, Abel, because his own choices were selfish. His actions were influenced by the enemy, who sought to kill and destroy the righteousness that was in Abel through his love for God. 1 John 3

As your caring Father, I anticipate lavishing My gifts upon you, gifts that exceed your expectations, presents that are greater and richer than your wildest imaginings. However, just as not all things are age-appropriate for a specific child, nor is every tool useful in a given job, and neither does every piece of jewelry compliment the chosen ensemble, even so not all that you wish for and desire will be given immediately.
I delight in giving you the desires of your heart, and I know what is required for you to receive and enjoy what you desire in a safe and responsible manner. Understand that when you seek Me for what you desire, I will start preparing you and positioning you to receive it.
Even as you would not give a firearm to your child until they have shown the needed responsibility in other areas and successfully complete a safety training course, so I will take you through circumstances to bring up and reveal what is in your heart, allowing you to give it to Me to remove, that you may operate in My love rather than in your pride.

May you lay down your life for your fellow believers, as Jesus Christ laid down His life for you, not merely with words but in truth with actions, not because of merit or worth but from mercy and love, for this is how we set our conscience at rest in His presence whenever we are condemned, for God is greater than our feelings, knowing everything. 1 John 3

May you be obedient to God’s command to believe in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as He commanded you. Those who obey His commands live in Him and He in them. You will live free from any condemnation from your conscience, having confidence before God and receiving from Him anything you ask, because you are obedient and pleasing to Him. You know this by the Spirit He gives you. 1 John 3

May you rejoice with those who say to you, “Let us go to the house of the Lord.” Psalm 122

May you know that God’s messengers are sent on your behalf to give insight and understanding as soon as you begin to pray, and if you endure, persisting in faith, you will see the answer. Daniel 9

May you set aside time when the Lord calls for it, and step aside from the routine to wait on His desire, forsaking your daily pleasures and entertainment to make Him your focus and align your heart and mind with His Spirit. Daniel 10

May God’s touch, through His Word, His Spirit, and His Body, give you strength to stand and words to speak, though overcome and helpless on your own, while in His presence. Daniel 10

May you hear and accept God’s designation and characterization of you, even when it differs from your own perspective, for He speaks of what will be as though it already were, knowing the end, even from the beginning.

Daniel 10

May you realize that because of the anointing from the Holy One, you know the truth, His Spirit bearing witness with your spirit, and no lie comes from the truth, for whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also. 1 John 2Him

They are My gift to you, My loved one. Come, enjoy being clothed in them for they are individually handwoven, custom-made for you by Me.
This raiment represents My nature, by which you will bear My image in the world. My strength under-girds you, yet is gentle and easily persuaded. My peace stands firm against all efforts to disturb it. My salvation guards your feet from stumbling or slipping as you walk in My paths and work in My fields. My righteousness is a robe that covers you entirely, embroidered with My grace and mercy and stating to all who see you that you are Mine.
You have not created these garments, nor have you earned them; they are My gift to you. I took on your nature of flesh in order to live and die sinlessly, freeing you from your debt, breaking the power of death, hell, and the grave; I willingly shed My unblemished perfection in heaven, and gladly received the scars of the price I paid for you, My dearest treasure.
In like manner, I have granted you the privilege to partake of My glory and bear the loveliness of My nature, living in the majesty of My name, for I have named you “Accepted” and “Fairest among all” and “Blessed.”

May you understand in ever greater degree just how great the love the Father has lavished on us is, that we should be called children of God! 1 John 3

May you comprehend that the reason the world does not know you is that it did not know Him. 1 John 3

May you rejoice that while it has not been made known what you will be, you most certainly are a child of God, and you know that when He appears, you shall be like Him for you shall see Him as He is – therefore everyone who has this hope within purifies themselves just as He is pure. 1 John 3

May you receive the truth that He appeared so that He might take away your sins and, in fact, in Him is no sin; thus no one who lives in Him makes a habit of sinning repeatedly, or persists in an on-going lifestyle of sin, for those who deliberately choose to sin and elect to remain in their sins have neither seen Him nor known Him. 1 John 3

May you be comforted that the Lord will always have a remnant, and desire to be numbered therein, for just as He did with Noah, with Abraham, with Moses, and many others through history, God will raise up a people of faith and an army of believers; they will walk in obedience, humility, and holiness before Him, showing His mercy, His love, His grace, and His righteous judgment, in strength and power, to comfort the poor, care for the homeless, lift up the downtrodden, and defend the defenseless.

May you understand that if you love your brother, you live and abide in the light, and there is nothing in you to cause you to stumble, but anyone who detests or despises his brother is in darkness and straying, not knowing where he is going, for he has been blinded. 1 John 2

May you not love or cherish the world, or anything in the world, for then you will not be able to love, cherish, and obey the Father – remember, the world and its desires will pass away, but the one who does the will of God lives forever. 1 John 2

There is much for you to be, My child, in order to do all you have been assigned.
You must be bold in approaching My throne and presenting your petitions. You must be strong in the faith when standing on My Word to claim the promises you have been given.
You must be violent when taking the kingdom. You must be gentle when applying balm to My wounded sheep.
You must be seen as foolish in the sight of man in order to confound the wise of this world when I speak through you. You must accept being weak when I call for you to do great exploits, lest men honor you.
You must become as a child to be drawn into My embrace and be blessed. You must be diligent in searching out My truth with your whole heart.
Learn of Me, My dear one, and seek My wisdom which has been hidden – not from you, but for you.

May you know and declare that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. If you walk in the light, as He is in the light, you have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies you from all sin. But if you claim to walk in fellowship with God yet walk in darkness, you do not live by the truth. 1 John 1

May you confess your sins, for He is faithful and just and will forgive you your sins and purify you from all unrighteousness. However, if you claim you have not sinned, you make Him out to be a liar and His word has no place in your life. 1 John 1

Do not be troubled by the darkness that you see in your thoughts, My child, nor feel shame for the acts of disobedience that occur in your life. I am purging you, cleansing you, and purifying you; the secret things, which I know already, are being made known to you.
The distaste and revulsion you feel when these thoughts and attitudes surface show your allegiance to Me. Even when you feel some longing for these old and familiar favorites, you are freed from their power. You can choose a new way, for the old thoughts and attitudes no longer hold mastery over you.
Remember the priests who carried out the trash when the Temple was cleansed. The refuse soiled them and the smell disturbed them and the work stained them, but it was only surface-deep and was easily rinsed off.
Repent, reject, and refute the “trash” in your life as circumstances cause it to appear. Then refresh yourself in praise and worship, allowing Me to wash your feet and your hands with My Spirit of joy, for you are closer to Me now than ever before!

May you ever remember and accept by faith that just as long ago, by God’s word, the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water, yet by these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed; by that same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. 2 Peter 3

May you always remember this: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years are like a day, so the Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness, but He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3

Do not fear want or need, My dear one, nor feel shame at lack or shortage. It is not a measure of your worth, nor is it an indicator of My power. These are tools of My training and the methods of your assignments, My child.
I walk beside you through the process, My love, always with you, never forsaking you; when you have My presence, My comforting Spirit, you have all riches and treasure you need in abundance – you simply have to accept it by turning to Me and embracing Me.
The farmer toils hard in the field, the stockman spends days and nights with the flock and herd away from the comforts of his house, the business man travels far without the company of those he loves, the warrior endures privation and hardship in his assignment – each one fulfilling his appointed task in obedience to his calling, never feeling shame in the midst of his work, simply looking forward to the time when the task is complete.
Go forth in your work, My trusted one, in the circumstances you are given, drawing from Me all you need, walking in constant fellowship with Me so that I can guide you step by step, word by word, deed by deed, establishing the Father’s will and the kingdom of God in earth.
