May your ministry to the Body of Christ be directed by the Spirit, as the Lord commands, according to the pattern given from heaven, bearing the image of Jesus Christ, Who shows us the nature of our Father God, even as the workmen and craftsmen in Israel fashioned each item needed for the tabernacle. Exodus 39

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.

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.

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 continually seek the direction and leading of the Spirit for the guidance and wisdom to do God’s work, which takes place in the hearts and minds of people, who, becoming living stones, shaped in the quarry, will be fitted together without the sound of a tool, to form the abode of our Lord and our God. Exodus 37

May you understand that, just as in the wilderness of testing and during the time of conquest, when the bronze altar of sacrifice, the golden table of showbread, the golden altar of incense, and the golden ark of the covenant, moving with the people, had no wheels to be pulled by beasts, only rings to be carried by poles on men’s shoulders, so now also God commits to His Body the care and responsibility of bringing His forgiveness, truth, worship, and presence to all. Exodus 37

May you be willing to turn from seeking the approval and perspective of others to believing the acceptance and description of God’s Word and His Spirit which bear witness that you are re-created in the image of God’s Son. Exodus 38

Matthew 28

Will you join Me? Will you draw near and watch with Me in prayer and intercession for those I love? Will you allow Me to express My sorrow through you in travail for the pain so many who are named by My name are facing?
Will you allow Me to give you a spirit of prayer which will draw you to the throne of God with weeping and heaviness of heart over the captivity of My people, so many of whom are bound in chains and held in darkness?
Will you receive My heart of concern for those who lack shepherds and are wandering on the mountainside without pastures, without rest, without protection, ever fearful, never knowing peace, unkempt, harried, beset upon by those influenced by My enemy?
The burden is great, My child, and the weight is crushing. You cannot carry it on your own. Join with Me, wait with Me. What is impossible for flesh, even when it is willing, is possible for God, for His Spirit is strong, and mighty to the pulling down of strongholds, binding the strong man, and plundering the enemy’s camp, retrieving the lost ones, the weak ones, the young and defenseless ones who were stolen and enslaved.
But first, My love, wait with Me before the throne, bringing the request to the Father, for this is where the work is done. Will you join Me?

All parts, from the golden lamp stand to the bronze altar to the priestly garments to the many tent pegs, are fashioned by the Spirit’s skill, through your obedience, to a purposeful function, and each is holy and dedicated to the Lord for His glory. Exodus 35

May your heart move you to be willing to come and bring an offering to the Lord for the work on the tabernacle God is building today. Exodus 35

May the Lord, having chosen you, fill you with His Spirit, giving you the skill and abilities to do the work He has assigned to you. In humility, may you serve others by caring and encouraging, supporting and strengthening those He has given you to love, esteeming them above yourself, teaching by doing, knitting each other together in the bonds of love and the unity of the Spirit, to come to the maturity of the Body of Christ. Exodus 35

May you be confident in the Lord’s plan and in His order, for He will place you where you need to be and set you by those He chooses, for the coverings of the tabernacle were each made of different substances and fashioned in different ways, each serving a different purpose, which only worked when they followed God’s order. Exodus 36

May you see ever more clearly the love God has for you as you learn of the tabernacle, for the one Moses built was for a place where God would meet with His people, whereas Jesus was the Word made flesh so that God would live among His people, and now the Body and the Bride of Christ is where God chooses to dwell with and inhabit His people.

Believe in the words I speak, for I am the Word of God made flesh. Believe in who I have said you are, for I have lived as you do and have promised that you will live as I do.
Let the Spirit of God rise up in you, giving you My faith to resist the enemy’s attacks, to stand firm on My Word, to receive the gifts of the Spirit and appropriate the promises of the Father, all in due season.
Trust Me, My dear one, when I speak of those things which are not as though they already are and journey with Me to where they will take substance. Accept the truth of what I say about you, that you are beloved, that you are worth all I have given to redeem you, that you are dear to Me, for though it does not yet appear what you shall be, you know that when I appear, you shall be like Me.
Rely on Me to lead you, and follow the path I walk, the road wherein I emptied Myself, taking the form of a bond-servant, humbling Myself by becoming obedient to the point of death, crucified in weakness, yet living because of the power of God which the Father had promised.
Know that I will not betray your reliance on Me, for the fullness of the Deity dwells in Me, and I do not change nor do I lie, but I inhabit the heavenlies where I am seated at the Father’s right hand, having mastered death, conquered hell, and overcome the grave.
Receive My Word, embrace My promise, trust My Spirit, know My power, enter My rest, for I am doing the work in your heart that you have asked Me to, and I am the Author and the Finisher of your faith.

Seek Me, My child, seek My heart. Do not take your eyes off Me. Do not be distracted by manifestations in others, or desire to duplicate the experiences of others.
Consider not that the way I deal with or bring blessings to one is the standard for all. You are not the same as any of My other children, though you receive the same depth of My love and breadth of My forgiveness.
My purposes for you are different than others and My lessons and training in your life are different from others. Encourage them, and be encouraged by them, but do not watch them or follow their path or practice their gifts. Receive from Me, only. Obey Me, only. Seek Me, only.
Share with others what I give you, that they may have confirmation of what I am speaking to them; receive what they share with you, and see if it bears witness with what I have spoken in your heart. Join together with others in praise to and worship of Me, knitting yourselves together in unity and cherishing one another, meeting each others needs and bearing one another’s burdens, but do not find your identity in the crowd, for you are Mine, alone.
Do not think you can draw nourishment from other believers without first being in relationship with Me. I am the true Vine, and only I can give you life. You cannot live off the life of others, for there are no parasites in My kingdom.
You must come to Me, you must stand in My light, you must kneel before My throne, you must eat of My body, you must be washed in My blood. There is no other Way but Me, there is no other Redemption but Mine, there is no other Love but that which I give freely and unrestrained when you call to Me.
Come, My beloved, turn to Me to the exclusion of all others, know My passion for you, and grow in the purpose and image I have envisioned for you.

May you keep the sabbath of the Lord holy to Him in your heart, honoring His call to you to trust Him for the safeguarding of what He has given you and the provision of what you need, seeking His face, learning His ways, discerning His will, following His leading, obeying His direction, sharing His love, ministering to His people.

May you gladly give back to the Lord that which He has freely provided you with so that the work of building His tabernacle, ministering to His saints, may be accomplished according to the pattern given from heaven. Exodus 35

May you consider the cost paid for you by Christ Jesus and see His love demonstrated at each step as He voluntarily accepted for you that which no man could legitimately accuse Him of. Offer to Him, then, the appropriate thanks from your heart and praise from your soul because His work was more than sufficient, even for your needs. In this way, you will realize the love of the Father Who has allowed the injury and death of His beloved Son to be the basis of accepting you in, and adding you to, His family of children who call Him “Abba.” Matthew 27

May you not trust in either your resources or your skills, your strength or your wisdom, for what are they before the Lord Who sees all and watches each, having formed every heart and encompasses all they do, choosing as His inheritance the ones who wait in hope on Him. Psalm 33

May your prayer to God and your purpose in life be to glorify His name, for when that is your sole goal, your heart’s desire is aligned with the multitudes of the heavenly host. Exodus 32

May you remain attentive to the voice of the Lord, not engaging in actions or choices which distract your heart from the affections of God, so that you may hear the call and respond with alacrity when the time comes to obey. Exodus 32

May you fully rely on the grace of God, expressed in the mercy found through Christ Jesus, Who alone brings atonement for sin and Whose pardon bring peace, even as He continually today intercedes on your behalf, for Moses himself, though he made no excuses and pleaded for mercy, could not fully turn away God’s wrath.

Do not be satisfied, My child, with that which you have, though you have received it from My Word through the revelation of My Spirit. Do not cling to one thing, My dear one, for I have much more to give.
Do not resist the learning and training, even though it takes you from what you have become successful in and proficient with.
Embrace that which I lead you into through My Word and by My Spirit, for I am bringing you to new skills and fresh knowledge, additional gifts and deeper revelation, wherein you can again develop confidence and experience, for there are still more things you need to do and yet much ministry which My Body requires.
My treasure house is wide open to you, My love, and the vast array of precious truths and effective gifts are available to you. Be willing to receive from My Spirit the adorning that He brings to you.
As you work on constructing My temple, understand that you will move from a shovel to dig a trench, to a saw to shape a foundation form, to a mixer for the concrete, to a trowel for brick and mortar, to a hammer to nail wood, to a paintbrush to beautify the appearance. Be prepared, always, for the newness of change and the challenge of freshness in My kingdom.

May you learn the precaution of distrusting your own unregenerate heart when it seeks its own safety and protection, and through the bitterness of failure and sorrow for sin, learn from experience to desire the modesty, humility and compassion of Christ in order to be useful to others. Matthew 26

May you see that both Peter and Judas were filled with remorse at their betrayal of Jesus; Peter wept bitterly alone before God in repentance, was strengthened as a result, and never denied Him again, whereas Judas confessed his sin to the chief priests who cared nothing for his remorse and left him in his despair.

Psalm 33

May you listen to godly counsel and not refuse it, so that you may be wise. Proverbs 8:33

May you be so anxious to have wisdom from God that you watch daily at the “gate” and wait outside of His “residence,” for whoever finds wisdom, finds life and wins approval from the Lord. Proverbs 8:34-35

May you recognize that just as nothing you can offer is sufficient to ransom your soul from sin and that cost is laid on Jesus, Whose blood is more than sufficient, even so no one can pay your tribute to God but yourself, in the form of your will and your time, your intent and your worship, everyone the same, for regardless of goods, property, or bank account, each person is given the same 24 hours each day. Exodus 30

May you let the washing of the Word, made life by the Spirit, cleanse your hands and your feet where you have touched the world, your words and deeds, your thoughts and your feelings, before you approach the Lord of heaven in praise and prayer, to minister to Him and seek for others. Exodus 30

May you always respect the holiness of the Lord, not mixing His praise with the common or giving the adoration which is His due to the things of the world, but make a distinction among all that you care for in the world, reserving your utmost for His highest. Exodus 30

May you gladly do that which God enables you to accomplish through the gifts He honors you with and distinguishes you through. Exodus 31

May you follow the example of Jesus Who, though walking in the strength of the Word and the power of the Spirit against the father of lies, voluntarily chose not to stand against those He came to minister to or resist those who resisted Him when the time came for God to be glorified. Matthew 26

May you not follow from afar, concerned what the end may be, but stand on your confession, knowing you are prepared, whatever the end will be, for God has full control and will bring His judgment to pass, regardless of the judgment of men. Matthew 26

Look within yourself, My child, where My Spirit dwells, and listen to the wisdom that He speaks. Dwell in My Word, My lovely one, for there you will find Me and know the deep springs of My heart. Be led, My precious one, by the anointing you receive as you walk in humble submission, casting aside all personal pride and rejecting all arrogant assumptions, so that you may serve those I lead you to.
As you bring forth the hallowed things you receive in the presence of the Father and give them to others, not retaining them for yourself, you will be following in My steps.
As you freely give without recompense the treasured gifts you have freely received through My Spirit, you will know the joy of My fellowship and be honored before the Father’s throne.
Man will not see these badges of honor or recognize the glory the Father shares with you, but they will be drawn to the fragrance of My presence. Serve to your uttermost, as you receive of Me in your heart.

May you daily come before God, giving back to Him of the time He has given you, making Him Lord of your day, sacrificing to Him the first fruits, the best, of the day the Lord has made, as a sweet savor and a pleasing aroma to Him, for there He will meet with you and consecrate you to His service, that you may walk in the glory of His presence, and be equipped to minister His life to those He brings to you. Exodus 29

Rest, My child, and feel secure in My unfailing love. Know that My unceasing compassions surround you and My mercies and grace embrace you. You have not stepped beyond the limits of My forgiveness, nor fallen beyond reach of My acceptance.
Remember that I agreed with My Father to become your Redeemer before I laid the foundations of the world. Recall that I accepted the pain and suffering of the cross for your sin before you accepted the joy of My salvation.
I know the pull of temptation; I recall how simple it can appear to yield; I understand the struggle you face when the tempter approaches. Although I am the only Son that God has without sin, He has no son without temptation.
Seek Me in the season of temptation; hide in Me during the time of attack. Pray that you enter not into temptation, and walk guardedly in obedience.
Do not go hunting the lion in his own home territory, for that is presumptuous; the enemy will attack in his own time, and though you are armed and armored, and emerge the conqueror through My victory, it will be a stern struggle. Even I was ministered to by angels after My season of temptations.
If you fall, turn to Me. Are you any worse for having fallen than when you first came to Me in repentance? You are precious in My sight, and My love is not dainty but robust and capable. I do not hesitate to rescue you from the miry pit, for is that worse than I experienced at the hands of the Romans? No, and I will always meet you every time you turn to Me.
Take My outstretched Hand and know the feel of My powerful love to redeem you from your weakness.

May you be willing to earnestly seek for and dependently follow after the wisdom of God that is in Christ, for counsel and sound judgment is His, as is understanding and power. By His wisdom, kings reign, rulers make laws that are just, and lesser authorities among men govern and rule. He loves those who love Him, and those who seek Him find Him, for with Him are riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity, and His fruit is better than fine gold; what He yields surpasses choice silver for He walks in the way of righteousness, along the paths of justice, bestowing wealth on those who love Him and making their treasuries full.

My Word is sharp like a two-edged sword, bringing discernment of inner motives, revealing and separating that which comes from the soul versus that which comes from the spirit.
I am the living Stone which men who desire this world’s authority and power have rejected, but which is precious to and chosen by God to be the living cornerstone to which you are aligned and from which you receive guidance and direction.
I am that foundation that supports you, and will never shift or break, always holding you up securely as you are shaped and positioned as living stones, built up in the most precious faith, forming a dwelling place for God’s glory and a shelter of refuge for those in need.
Receive My protection, accept My shaping and placement, rest on Me as I support and sustain you in the work I assign you. You are precious to Me, even as I am precious to My Father.

1 John 4:13 We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.

Galatians 5:22 …the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

2 Corinthians 4:8-10 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body

Exodus 27

May you have the patient endurance to allow God to complete His work in you, fashioning His tabernacle in your heart, bringing skillful workers into your life to cleanse His temple, to weave beauty into your soul, to refine the gold of God’s nature and the silver of His redemption in your spirit, to equip you with defensive coverings of shields and armor, and shape you into a fit vessel of honor to carry His glory and not claim it for yourself.

Look up, My love, and keep your thoughts and your heart upon Me, for I do not lead you into introspection and self-occupation, wherein is bondage and corruption and darkness.

May your heart hunger for godly instruction more than silver, and spiritual training rather than choice gold, for God’s wisdom is more precious than rubies and nothing you desire can compare to it. Proverbs 8:10-11

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.

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 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.

May you see the love and concern of God for you in His law, for as we, together, form the Bride for Jesus, we are under His protection. 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. Matthew 24

May you stand firm to the end, even as the love of many others will grow cold because of the multiplied lawlessness and iniquity, for so shall you be saved. Matthew 24

May you ascribe to the Lord glory and strength, praising Him for the majestic glory of His name, worshiping Him in the beauty of holy and sacred garments. Psalm 29

Psalm 29

May the Lord, who showed His control over creation at the Flood and is still sitting as King, as He will through eternity, give unyielding and impenetrable strength to His people and bless them with peace. Psalm 29

1 John 4:10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

Romans 2:4 Or do you show contempt for the riches of His kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?

Psalm 73:23 Nevertheless I am continually with You; You have taken hold of my right hand.

Ephesians 1:7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace

Romans 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

Colossians 3:15 Let the peace of Christ [the inner calm of one who walks daily with Him] be the controlling factor in your hearts [deciding and settling questions that arise]. To this peace indeed you were called as members in one body [of believers]. And be thankful [to God always].

May your heart be tender toward the Lord, awed by His majesty and obedient to His command, regarding the holiness of His presence with fear and the magnificence of His power with joy, that you may live and give witness with thanksgiving to His ability to change your life. Exodus 19

May you worship the Lord your God, joining with esteem and acceptance in your heart for all who seek Him humbly and honestly, not raising yourself above others by your own efforts lest your secret shame be revealed. Exodus 20

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

May God give you His vision to see the needs of those next to you, wisdom to speak His words of life, boldness to call on the Spirit’s power, and humility to give God’s glory to Him. 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.

May you hold the things of God in reverence and acknowledge His holiness through your obedience. Matthew 23

May you honor the Christ within others, valuing and encouraging the saints of God, receiving with humility the spirit and the word of God from the least of those who follow the way of love. Matthew 23

May you allow yourself to be gathered with others together in the Lord, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and may you give honor to those who come in the name of the Lord. Matthew 23

May the Lord, your Rock of safety, help you as you plead with Him, lifting your hands to heaven and imploring His help, for if He were to refuse you help, you may as well give up and die. Psalm 28

May the Lord make a distinction between you and those who are dragged away to the punishment they so richly deserve for speaking cordially to their neighbors as an angel of light while harboring malice in their hearts, caring nothing for God or what He had done or what He has made, therefore He will dismantle them like old buildings, never to be rebuilt again.

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.
Be strengthened by My might and in the knowledge that you can do all things through My Spirit as you abide in the Vine, for therein do you bear much fruit.

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.
