I am the light of the world. In this world of darkness I shine with truth and love. Where there is so much darkness and destruction, I bring hope and peace. You are My vessel and I shine through you. I live in and through you to bring the good news to a hungry hurting world. You are chosen to be a vessel of honor. I have refined you so you can be used to lead the lost, hungry and hurting to Me. Remain empty of all vain pursuits so I can fill you up with My love to reach this desperate world.
The Fear of The Lord
For the upright will live in the land, and the blameless will remain in it. But the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the treacherous will be uprooted from it. Fear the Lord and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your body and refreshment to your bones. Proverbs 2:21-22, 3:7-8
Base Your Life On Order
My child, I am not a God of confusion but of order. I am not a God of deception but of truth. Base your life on order and truth. Seek Me in all your decisions and desires. Know and believe that My plans for you are sure. They will come about as you obey Me fully from your heart. I will not bless disobedience. Defiance I will not prosper. Only those who come with a surrendered heart, one that is wholly dependent on Me will I release power, anointing and vision for the work of the kingdom. I am after your whole heart. Then I can release every blessing, every plan, every desire that I have for you, even from the beginning of time. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we would walk in them. Ephesians 2:10
Give It Up
My child, put your life in My hands. Put everything you’ve got into serving Me and obeying Me. Then your path will be straight and your way prosperous. I want your all so I can pour My all into you. The more you surrender, the more I can use you to bear much fruit. Give it up and give it all. Place your trust in Me.
True Fulfillment
I am calling out to a lost and hurting world. So many people have lost all hope and are desperate for the good news. Go out into the world and preach My good news to them. You hold in your hand what they need. You possess the key to their deepest need. Start sharing My truths. Show them My love. You will be amazed at the response. I am calling. I am knocking at their hearts. Show them what true fulfillment is. Show them Me. Your Father in heaven Who holds the key.
Don’t Despise Small Things
2nd Timothy says: “In a large house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also vessels of wood and earthenware, some for honor and some for dishonor.” A vessel of wood can be just as important as one made of gold. So don’t despise the small things. Whatever is suitable for the Master’s use is worthy of honor.
Our job is to advance the gospel, no matter what role we might play in Christ’s kingdom. This always means being unselfishly united in spirit with our fellow believers. Having a heart for others, lived out through service and a cooperative spirit, is the wellspring of fruitfulness. When we commit to this goal, we inevitably find ourselves moving into God’s purpose. It may not happen with a whole lot of fanfare, but over time we wake up and realize that we are living out what God always destined us to do.

A Great Move Of God
My child, I am pouring out My Spirit all over this world. People will hear of miracles, healings, salvations, and transformations, a great move of God in all parts of the earth. In the darkest of times, My light shines the brightest. Look not to the ways of man. Keep your eyes fixed on Me, the Author and Perfect of your faith. Hebrews 12:2
The Holy Spirit Within
Jesus promised that He would send the Holy Spirit to His followers once He left the earth: “He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; …He abides with you and will be in you.” The Bible proclaims that we are, “sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is given as a pledge of our inheritance.” What does it actually mean to have the Holy Spirit living within us?
Just imagine it! The Holy Spirit is a Person, a divine member of the Godhead. And God has given Him to us. He is always there, “guiding us into all truth, and comforting us,” at the very core of our being. We need to be fully aware of this precious gift God has bestowed on us, continually seeking intimate interaction with Him. He will always glorify Jesus and lead us into all truth.
The Breath Of God
My child, speak to the dry and parched land. I will cause breath to enter you so that you may come to life. I will breathe on this dry land and bring it to life so that they will know I am the Lord. Speak to the dry bones, say to them hear the word of the Lord. The breath of the Lord is coming from the four winds. O breathe on these slain that they may come to life. I am coming to this dry land. I am breathing the breath of life on these dry bones. I am bringing revival, raising the dead, making the blind see and setting the captives free. O breath of God come.
Prayer is a Two-way Street
Everything we were ever created to be is wrapped up in Jesus. Finding out who we are in Christ is the first step toward discovering His purpose for us, because a healthy sense of self-worth gives us the confidence to step out. The better we get to know Jesus personally, the more He can impart His will to us. Communing with God is essential to this process. Prayer is a two-way street—we speak; we listen; we abide in Him.
If God has in fact prepared good works for us to walk in, wouldn’t He need to let us know what they are? Look at all those people in the Bible whom God chose to use in one way or another. They heard from God, and even if they didn’t initially grasp His meaning they ultimately discerned what He wanted. The desire to obey God is the key to understanding Him.
