Psalm 145:18-19 The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon Him, to all that call upon Him in truth. 19 He will fulfill the desire of them that fear Him: He also will hear their cry, and will save them.
Psalm 42:11 Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why have you become disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him, the help of my countenance and my God.
Micah 6:8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
Lamentations 3:22-23 Because of the LORD’S great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. 23 They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.
Romans 5:1 Since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Deuteronomy 10:12-13 And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in obedience to Him, to love Him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, 13 and to observe the LORD’s commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good?
May you attend to the Word of God, being found in the vast company of His host of ministers, servants, and messengers, motivated by the Spirit, compelled by His awesome love, operating in His gifts of wisdom and understanding, of strength and boldness, of unwearied diligence and patience, of speed and clarity of sight, not turning in distraction from the goal He has given you, but doing the work He has put before you. Ezekiel 1
May you not be afraid of those the Lord sends you to, though they be around you like scorpions among briers and thorns, not fearing what they say or terrified by what they do, for the Spirit’s strength will be how you stand, and the Word’s truth will be what you speak, as you listen carefully and take to heart all that the Lord speaks to you. Ezekiel 2
May you be strengthened and encouraged through the study and understanding of the Word of God which, though it contains words of lament and mourning and woe to those influenced by and following after evil, always bears the sweetness of redemption for any who turn from their wicked ways and humble themselves under His mighty hand. Ezekiel 3
May you not fail to follow the commission the Lord has given you as a watchman, blowing the trumpet and sounding the alarm, calling those who will hear to come together and warning those who will not of what is to come, so that you may be innocent of the guilt of their fate. Ezekiel 3
My child, the work I give you to do is not dependent on what the people around you are doing. It does not matter what questions they are asking, or to what purpose they are directing their efforts. My Spirit will lead you according to their hearts, not according to their actions.
In My kingdom, you learn to be open and transparent in the Spirit before Me in the prayer closet and with Me in My Body. But in the world, people learn to hide the anger, the pain, the worry that is in their heart and put on a brave front, a socially-acceptable front.
The words I give you to speak will bring life to hearts that are hurting, clarity to minds that are clouded, purpose to hands that are idle, and direction to feet that are wandering.
This is great change, and though some accept it willingly as the answer they have been looking for, many will resist change, for it will mean dropping the front they have been wearing and admitting they were wrong. In them, pride of life is still more desirable than the water of life. Let them thirst a bit longer, if they choose, as you continue to pray for them; it is not your work to convince, convict, or condemn anyone, for they must decide on their own.
The work I give you is to simply proclaim the good news of what I have done in your life and testify as My witness to the change that has been wrought in your heart. I will be with you to confirm the Word I give you to speak in their hearing.
As you share in the heavenly calling, may you fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest Whom we confess, for He was faithful to the One Who appointed Him, being found worthy of the highest honor by being faithful as a son over us, God’s house, which you are a part of, if you hold on to your courage and the hope of which you boast. Hebrews 3
May you encourage each other daily, so that none of you has an unbelieving heart, hardened by sin’s deceitfulness, which causes you to turn away from the living God, for you have come to share in Christ if you hold firmly till the end the confidence you had when you started following Him. Hebrews 3
May you praise the Lord your God, Who is very great, clothed with splendor and majesty, wrapped in light as a garment, stretching out the heavens like a tent, and riding the wings of the wind with the clouds as a chariot. Psalm 104
May you be grateful to God for being the Source of all you need as He gladdens your heart, makes your face shine, and sustains your life, as He provides for you both the material needs day to day, and your spiritual needs as He readies you for His presence in eternity. Psalm 104
