And God Answered:
Often, you wonder
why I do not keep you feeling My presence. . . all the time, every waking minute. Your flesh would burn up. I can
only expose you to absolute purity for brief moments, only those amounts your
body and spirit can absorb. Even one like Moses had to hide his face from the
people because My glory shined too bright after being with Me a length of time.
Prayer: Lord, teach me patience to
handle your power and glory, one step at a time.
And Holy Spirit said:
The heavenly
kingdom produces its own best fruit , in a sense, because it joins the proper
soil. On earth, you are the soil. You will become plowed anew, enriched, and
readied for the seed of holy kingdom. I, your Savior, give the life energy
to grow the fruit, but you must be ready to receive the proper seed.
If you rebel, you grow the weeds that take place in the good soil. Weeds wither
and die. Only the kingdom-type plants endure forever.
Prayer: Lord, sometimes it is
scary being the soil and knowing we get plowed up but give us courage to accept
the right seed.
Lady Wisdom and brother
knowledge can be your friend [ Proverbs 2].
Jesus of Nazareth makes it so.
Prayer: Thank you Lord for any scriptural insight.
There is significance in QUIET. Roses grow other roses in silence.
Prayer: Lord, help us listen and really hear.
And Jesus said:
"Take
a moment and think on this question: Can any ambition that yearns so much for
praise and feeling accepted, live My total gospel, when in Bible evidence, I did not care for worldly reputation and only lived service as My method to conquer?" You need
only Holy Spirit ambition that leads to serving others for the
kingdom’s sake. Pay close attention to this thought.
Prayer: Lord, I do want to think
more of helping people than only helping myself. Remind me that any
interruption might be you sending me someone to help.
In the beginning of a commitment to Jesus
of Nazareth, The Holy Spirit joins us, guides us, and places in us an added heavenly
value intelligence. This new intelligence receives better heavenly beliefs that
we can hold significant, then he encourages us to use that value awareness to
learn more of Christ and embrace the characteristics of Jesus himself. This is
one definition of what it means to become more Christlike.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for the undestanding you give us.
Jesus whispered:
I have told you specifically there are qualities of human nature that belong to the kingdom of heavenly Father. You can become poor in spirit. Poor in spirit means to renounce your self-will by giving it to Me. You can enter My realm the same as a little child starts as unlearned. You are to remain childlike with trust and faith. You must learn to couch your discomfort in My name. If needed, you must be willing to endure suffering for my name’s sake. This may happen because I am making connections you do not see. As you possess the kingdom, the kingdom possesses you.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, help me
remember your Kingdom exists now and not just in the future.
And Jesus said:
Do you not realize how important you are? I left the joy of heaven as the second person of the Trinity to come to earth, bear the Cross, and go back to heaven with a new joy because I take you with Me. I left behind the Holy Spirit to partner with you in all things. Use your faith I’ve given you to claim what already exists. Turn over all doubtful matters to Me.
Prayer: Lord, help me to know the difference between the faith issues and the non-faith issues in your kingdom.
Our misreadings in life, our "off the true track of Jesus", any of our personal defenses, anything we might miss as believers. . . . all get absorbed by Jesus intention, resurrection fact, and overall Jesus love. We may not excuse these misdirections but Jesus can.
And Holy Spirit said:
"When finances get you down, start saying a prayer over every bill you send that it becomes used to help others as a living event in the kingdom of heavenly Father's glory. Even if you’ve spent the funds unwisely, pray the pay back will redeem both you and others.
Prayer: Lord, help me remember,
all finances are yours and any funds we have are extensions of our possible
character growth.
And Jesus said:
You are truly blessed because you see what I teach you. You see kingdom principles of holy Father. In older days, kings and prophets wanted to see what you see but could not. They wanted to hear what you hear but could not. They wanted to feel what you feel but could not. You have the Holy Spirit’s presence within to guide you always. Continue to give Him notice and depend on heavenly guidance.
Prayer: Lord, help us remember, the Holy Spirit remains the best teacher throughout our total existence.
And Jesus said:
You have seen in Luke 8 how I healed the
Gadarene from many demons. Then he wanted to journey with the disciples and Me.
I told him to go back home and tell them what God had done. This man had on
borrowed clothes to shield his earlier nakedness. He had been the cause of
several pigs receiving the demons and dying. Do you wonder what he might have
done? He could now go home and find work to pay for the clothes and the pigs.
This can be your testimony to the world. The kingdom principles of kindness, of
putting back and giving when you don’t have to go the extra mile, still is one
of your goals.
Prayer: Lord, I pray for your
balance in all things. Place my footing on your solid ground.
Remember, your trust is in Me, Christ, your Savior. Compassion needs to operate as other-centeredness. Resentment, anger, wanting rewards like others have, or fearful actions can throw up stop signs to compassionate growth. As an intentional reminder, practice taking one day every week and do something nice for anyone you meet: Say a kind word; give some money, smile a compliment; do some good action and do not expect any thanks in return. Extend the practiced-action to two days. Stretch the days so your goal could happen every day of the week. Blessed is the merciful.
Prayer: Lord, help any passion I
have turn to the right compassion.
With Christ's blessings:
It is ok to give up certain feelings. . .like the feeling you should get used to failure.
And Jesus said:
"Ask specifically today for clear insight
and courage of discovery to see yourself openly. You may be trying to cover
resentments with fake curtains of piety. Any resentment or subtle anger will
gain a foothold in your life and ruin any purpose. Do not harbor pretense but
be completely honest with yourself and others. The great I AM vibrates within
you.
Prayer:
Lord, help me today be truly honest about
being honest.
