Are you spiritually ready to face the opposition, in order to be used by God to help bring those who live in darkness into the light of the truth of Christ Jesus and their need for Him as their personal Saviour? Open the soil of your heart to a full surrender to the Holy Spirit, to train and guide you as you willingly walk into opportunities that He can speak into your heart. Obey Him as to what to say or not say, giving up your natural sinful impulse to human reactivity and instead, embrace others' souls with Christ's love and patience, as we wait upon the Holy Spirit to silently work at planting His truth seeds within their hearts.

Keep your eyes on Jesus to endure these challenging end times. You will be surrounded by ridicule and rejection, as people will want to surround themselves with others who agree with their views on sin and life in general. Remain in the truth you have been inwardly taught, by the Holy Spirit, who has quickened your soul for an eternity of celebration and righteousness with Christ Jesus your Lord and Saviour. Forgive those who are not yet spiritually transformed. Pray for God's grace and love to pursue them until they surrender and receive the life and peace they have been always searching for yet could not find in this world alone. 

Be on guard against false teachers who oppose the truth of Christ and God's plan of salvation. They look for vulnerable people who don't know the truth and don't know Jesus personally, in hopes of getting them to join their new age church mindset. Preaching love of self and love of pleasure, they may act religious but behind their facade is a demonic spirit of warfare and deception, set against God's purpose in sending His Son, your need for sorrow for your sin, humble repentance, and to live a new spiritual existence feeding from the inspiration of the word of God, our source of life.

Are you willing to endure any trial God has chosen for you to pass through, in order to grow upwards spiritually in heart knowledge and kinship with Christ and His sufferings? Will you allow Him to choose which kind of "dish" He will design you to be, so you may bring glory and honor to His name, by feeding His lambs and sheep truth and sustenance needed for their own spiritual growth? Live in such a way as to not grieve the Holy Spirit. Be a good soldier for Christ and be ready at all times to obey His command. God is the Farm Manager and knows what He is doing. Don't be sidetracked by the devil and his schemes as he works to gain a foothold in your life to try to trip you up, through the arguments of unbelievers. Remember who you are and to Whom you belong.

Understand your calling into Christ's ministry as a blessing and nothing to be ashamed of. He is there to guide you through the tests and trials that lay ahead. Use these opportunities to glorify Him and all He has done in love for you, knowing your testimony will be used by Christ through the inner working of the Holy Spirit to seek and save those who are lost so they may also attain such a great salvation. Pray for the lost and obey every command from the Lord. The battle is His and He is Victor! Praise God!

Give honor and respect to your position, doing all things in righteousness, in scope of the gospel of Christ. Flee and forsake the lusts of the flesh and worldly gain but rather lay hold upon eternal life. The love of money and gain is the root of all evil. Fight the good fight of faith, by following the Holy Spirit to resist the temptations and pitfalls of the devil, as he wages a spiritual warfare. Don't engage in disputes and contentions but stick to the truth of the word of God and be an example of love towards others.

God cares about where our heart lies. The two great commandments to love God and our neighbor, is not about doing a duty or going through the motions of service but of a true sincerity and intention. God will lead us by His Spirit to guide us in how to serve. We must reserve judgment of others but prove all things with church order allowing for spiritual adaptation and not rigid legalism.

Grow in your knowledge of who the Lord is and why He came to be your Savior so you can humbly learn to trust Him. Trust is required for taking your first steps in learning to hear and follow the Holy Spirit's guidance, to find consolation and peace with God, and to also find your assigned mission of service on this earth. Stay focused on Him, and learn, as Gideon did, how to truly know His voice, to keep on the right path to eternity and victory over sin and godless teachings. 

Those who are chosen by Him, reconciled to God by obeying the serious promptings of the Holy Spirit to be repentant and receive His forgiveness, and are truly born again spiritually by surrendering their will to Him, now become One with Jesus. Christ is the Head of His body: the Church. We now receive power, protection, guidance, and authority from Him, to act as He would in love upon the earth. Apart from Him we can do nothing. Live as children of Light and be a pillar of hope in the world, to draw others upwards towards Him.

Enjoy a ride through the tunnel of love as we delve into an overall exploration of the Biblical concept of love. Become love, equally yoke with each other and Christ. A message of hope. *14 different scriptures related to love on this special day. 

Journey with us through time, revisiting the great split of division between God and mankind at the Garden of Eden, seeing firsthand our need for reconciliation, fulfilled by the suffering and sacrifice of our One and only Mediator, Jesus Christ. Learn to enter into a posture of a worshipful heart before the Lord God, allowing the Holy Spirit to transform you into a new creation in Christ, restoring peace anew between God and man, and also between men and women. 

Praise God for sending Spirit-filled mentors into our lives to help lead us on our journey of spiritual growth, growing in our knowledge of Christ and understanding His forgiveness and personal love for us. Mentors help us to rely on the Holy Spirit to now live our life according to new spiritual laws within our heart, following a new and higher calling, unto Oneness with Christ, our Savior and Lord. Avoid the snares of our enemy, the Devil, who seeks to distract us, discourage us, and destroy us. Don't waste this  present precious time we have to grow in your relationship with Christ. Trials lay ahead. Will you be ready to stand firm against the pressures of godless people?

When the Holy Spirit gives you the green light, do you idle and delay from obeying the Lord's will to spread His hope-filled message which will help to rescue the despondent from the wicked plans of the evil one? Be careful not to be influenced by the mindset of those who refuse to allow Him to be their Lord, even though they may claim to be your brother or sister in Christ. Warn them in love, and keep your mind eternally-focused on the goal of your heavenly prize, the joy of glorifying God and the Lord Almighty, Jesus Christ.

Follow the command to stand firm in that day of trial and testing that is to come upon the earth as the "anti-christ" man of lawlessness is revealed. Pray for mercy and help from the Holy Spirit to build you up into a strong faith and a firm foundation in Christ so you can hear His voice of truth and guidance. Receiving the comfort and hope only He can give, God will light up your soul with for others to see the way to Him through Christ Jesus, the world's true Saviour and Redeemer.

Enter this new year with great expectation and hope, seeking the Lord to do a mighty work within your heart and life. Search for the one true path to Christ, found only in God's merciful plan of salvation. Follow the promptings of the Holy Spirit as He nudges you to discover the blessings of humility, sorrow, repentance and obedience, as you die to self will and become born again into newness and joy. Allow Him to enable you to fulfill your spiritual calling to be a blessing to the world, as you glorify Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and assist others to find their way to Him to personally receive eternal life.

Now is the time to escape the coming wrath and predetermined time of trials and testing that is to come upon those who have pushed away the Holy Spirit's voice of warning. Escape by accepting His redemptive help, to surrender fully to Jesus Christ as Savior, accepting all He says to do, so you may be made holy under His Lordship and blossom safely within His instructions, living as true children of the Light, in the coming days of darkness. Build up the weaker, younger ones in the faith. Rejoice in all circumstances, knowing God is in ultimate control and loves you deeply. You will be saved! Praise be to God!

Follow the still quiet voice of the Lord's Spirit within you to be guided into truth, repentance, holiness and safety during these difficult and challenging end times. Remain faithful unto Him alone, persevering against the temptations and persecutions of the world, and the evil one's schemes, to try to draw you back into selfish independence and sins that will harm you. Hold onto the hope of your salvation from the wrath to come upon the rebellious in heart, knowing surely that you will someday soon be drawn up unto Him, out of the chaos that will ensue.

God sends both the sun and the rain into the lives of both unbelievers and believers in Christ. We must stand firm in our faith in the Lord, accepting His comfort and timely teachings, to successfully endure the seasons of hardship in our life that He sends our way. Allow Him to do His transforming work within your heart and mind so you may be used by Him to help others fill the gaps in their faith understanding and someday be able to stand holy and blameless together in His sight, as He returns to gather those who persevered to the finish line and have gained the victory of being spiritually One with Him. 

We all reach a point of decision in life of whom we will serve, bow down to, live life to please and let rule our life decisions. In times of persecution, will you persevere in loving ministry and cherish those who are still hard of heart, as the Holy Spirit begins His early effective work upon their hearts, to bring them to their eventual day of repentance, salvation, and one day being face to face with you and Jesus Christ in eternity? Trust the Great Overcomer in the spiritual battles for your very soul. He reigns supreme and is victorious in every battle!

Surrender your heart willingly unto full service to the cause of the Lord Jesus Christ's gospel message. Be blessed with the joy of the Holy Spirit moving powerfully through your words to fulfill God's redemptive plan, bringing them to true repentance, and helping them to understand the truth of Christ Jesus' atoning sacrifice personally for them. Be willing to share in the sufferings of Christ so as to save His chosen people from the coming wrath which is to come upon the hard-of-heart and resistant-spirited, who reject their one and only Saviour. 

Feel the joy and excitement, bewilderment and shock, of the great unveiling of the truth, that Jesus the Messiah has truly risen indeed! He is Victor over death! His life purpose given personally for you so you may choose to receive the gracious gifts of faith, forgiveness, cleansing from sin, reconciliation with the Father, and Holy Spirit sanctification, as They live within your heart as a burning flame of sure hope. He is alive now and forevermore!

God's love for us is astounding! Look at the depths Christ Jesus has gone through for your rescue from the dark side into the light of His redemptive love. Cry out to Him today to hear His voice within your heart (His faith prompt), hearing His invitation to you, then accept His sacrifice at Calvary personally for you (act upon what you "hear"). He will lead you safely home to eternity with Him. Follow Him and persevere. Live by faith and not by sight. Look beyond what you see.

The Lord daily examines the condition and state of our hearts. He is more concerned with the real truth of what is really going on inside our hearts and minds compared to the false truth that we physically try to present outwardly to those around us. Are you ready for His sudden return? Do you feel the deep impact of what He has sacrificed for you to provide access to eternity with Him? Are you watchful against the temptation to fall asleep and thus ignore the signs of time running out, to make your decision for Christ as your Saviour, Lord, Leader, and King?

Do you have a heart of trust and willingness to do whatever the Lord asks of you, even if it endures going through times of suffering, want, and persecution? The widow's mite example can help us to prepare for the end times that lay soon before us. Be ready for your time of enlarging your spiritual territory as the Lord prepares you to be a mouthpiece for Him. Stand firm in His truth and you will endure to the end.

The Lord who knows our hearts was able to see through the strategic schemes of the leading priests, the teachers of religious law, and the elders of the temple. Following the Holy Spirit's guidance, He knew how to successfully answer each trap to create a parable-style response, showing them their own sinful situation and their impending future judgment. Let us also speak boldly as the Holy Spirit leads us in these challenging end times.

How deeply the Lord wishes we would take seriously His call to us personally, to understand the message of peace and reconciliation which the Holy Spirit speaks to us, as He moves within our hearts to draw us to the One and Only Way to enter into eternal salvation with Jesus Christ. He sees and knows all concerning the state of our heart. Will we allow Him to reign as our King and trust Him to completely forgive us, fill us with His Holy Spirit, and sanctify our soul?

Persistence in our wilderness experience, humility in our inner man, seeking personal spiritual healing from Him, giving way to a full surrender, and learning to listen and depend upon Christ, all join together to bring us into a right relationship with Jesus as our Saviour and Lord. We must lay down our adult understanding and reins of control, and run to Him as a child would, in complete trust, as we hear and follow the Holy Spirit's voice of direction and instruction within our heart and mind.

Do you stop to listen to the Holy Spirit speak within your heart, asking you to thank or praise the Lord for the miracles He has done in your life? Do you understand the grace of God is granting you a choice to be spared from judgment and to enter into a love relationship that is everlasting? Jesus is the way, the gate, the key to eternity. The final day will come swiftly. Will you be ready to go when He calls you home?

What do you do when you feel the Holy Spirit nudging you to repent within your heart, showing you the truth about your need for humility and forgiveness? Are you willing to let go of the covetous things that rule your heart and mind, pulling you away from the Lord and His destiny for you? Take heed now while there is still time to make the most important decision of your life, one that affects your eternal future.

Do you ever feel lost, like you're missing something very important, or that you are wasting your life away with fruitless living? Follow the Holy Spirit as He nudges you along the pathway of internal understanding, to find the hidden gift of true "heart" repentance. Discover the joy of finding your way "home", encounter the reality of Jesus in a humble way, and realize the unexpected acceptance and great love that awaits you there.

Look forward to the time of great healing, the Sabbath millennial rest of the Lord. We must humble ourselves and let go of pride and God will choose when to bless and recompense. Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all good things will be added unto you. As we seek to become disciples of Christ, we must be willing to sacrifice the lustful glory of the world and be misunderstood or persecuted by others for a season.

Listen to Jesus as He gives the call to true repentance and how much His heart desires to save and protect us from the wrath coming against those who refuse to bow to Him as Saviour and Lord. Many are called but few are chosen. Pray for mercy to spiritually hear the voice of the Lord in your heart, believe it and obey what He tells you to do so you may be saved! He is a God of Miracles!

The Lord will bring us each to a moment of decision. We will be held accountable for how we positively respond to, or repress and push away the grace of God, as sensed through the inward work of the Holy Spirit. Keep your spiritual eyes open and ready to see the truth of the warning signs of the end times. Christ is coming soon to return for you. Will you be watchful, faithful and endure through the spiritual battles you experience until He arrives?

Are we only concerned about the outward appearance of things? Of ourselves? Of others? God is concerned with the truth of our hearts and our willingness to receive the wisdom from His Spirit, to bring us to true repentance and a washing from within, so we may be filled with the Life and Light of His Son. Will we be a vessel ready for His service or try to roadblock the Father's will?

The Lord hears your thoughts and reads your heart to see if you are ready to receive His truth and grow in Him. Plant the seed of faith and cast out fear with complete trust in Him. He will bring us through to the "other side" of our spiritual battles, unto light and life eternal. As we walk and remain in Christ we will be fruitful and abound. 

Do you follow Wisdom's call? Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Lean not on your understanding. The Lord waits for you and desires to set you free from the bondages of sin and death. Believe in His authority over all the schemes of the devil in your life. Jesus Christ is the Anointed Messiah, the One we have been waiting for! He is here! Open your heart in sincere repentance to welcome Him in.

Jesus teaches us we have a choice to reap blessings or sorrows based on whether we are willing to come spend time with Him, listen to His spiritual insight and then obey it, by the power of His Spirit within us. We can succeed when facing all types of spiritual trials by constantly abiding in Christ and obeying Him, therefore standing upon the solid foundation He provides. Compassion, grace, and mercy flow freely to us and are to be extended to others. 

Do you have the gift of faith from God to be able to leave the old behind and allow this new way of spiritually hearing Jesus' teachings to transform your life? Be ready to be surprised above and beyond your wildest expectations! The Lord is a compassionate healer, forgiver of sins, a miracle worker, the needed Great Physician for your soul, and can live and abound powerfully within you, from the inside out, granting you with eternal blessings.

Through His wilderness experience, Jesus sets a Godly example for us to follow in spiritual discipline and succeeding in spiritual warfare. Christ has authority to preach the word, and to heal and cast out demons, based on the will and power of God through the Holy Spirit at work, in Their chosen timing. We share in that Oneness with Them through true surrender, repentance, faith in Jesus as our Messiah, and being born again by the Spirit. Many are called but few are chosen.

What do you when the Holy Spirit begins to teach, lead, and warn you? Do you harden your heart against Him or become malleable to the Lord's call upon your life? Allow His Spirit to work upon your beliefs, to bring you along the journey of true sorrow for your sins to a personal choice to repent, be baptized, and accept Christ's invitation to enter into your heart as King and Lord. Only by Him can we overcome sin's curse and receive the promised gift of eternal life.

Christ is the good tiding of Great joy! He came into the world as a fulfilment of the promise of a Redeemer and Savior. He is the way, the truth, and the life. He was born in humble circumstances and went out in suffering to be the atonement needed to overcome the sin penalty of the world. As we tune into Him through the Holy Spirit, we find a path of Love back into His presence.

Praise our God who is the One who can do the impossible! Great rays of hope emerge as the Son rises with healing in His wings to set the captives free! Christ Jesus in this chapter is about to be enter the world as the long promised Savior and Messiah. The miracle of the forerunner John the Baptist's birth sets the stage to begin the process of turning the Father's heart to His children and the children to their Father.

Be prepared by the Holy Spirit to be ready to boldly serve the Lord your Savior with the confidence of the wind of the Spirit moving from within, as He prompts you as to how and when to speak and to serve in love to His chosen people. Speak with the spiritual insight and wisdom that comes from above, being grateful to the Lord for the opportunities He provides. We are forever indebted to the One we love for His great sacrifice for us.

There will come a time of decision in your life. Choose Christ and all the glorious inheritance that it encompasses! The blessings of being One in Spiritual union with Him, and of one heart and mind with other truly spirit-filled believers, opens the door of opportunity for you to experience the full measure of the beauty of love, and the fruits of the Spirit. These are only available to those who have entered the narrow gate by way of the sincerely broken and contrite heart, to intimately know Christ, the hope of your glorious future.

Heed the warnings to the Church of Colosse and Laodicea as the Holy Spirit needs to circumcise our hearts to unveil us to the truth that will set us free, wash away our sins, and put healing salve on our eyes so we may spiritually see. Christ holds the keys to open the doors of our minds to receive His "parable style" truths, insight and wisdom. Flee from the evil one who works through the pious minds of self-righteous men. Instead, be rooted deeply in Christ.

Seek your Lord for the strength you need to stand firmly upon His transforming power to help you to overcome the power of the world to set you adrift. Abide in Christ who lives in you and is your Living Hope. He will choose when and how to reveal the hidden mysteries to you so you may grow in your knowledge of the hidden truths that'll set you free. 

Every day we are faced with a decision with how we will mentally decipher and categorize information and life experience. Hand everything over to the loving care of God in Christ Jesus. He will give you the strength, peace, joy and focus you need to make it to the finish line. If He has called you to it, He will get you through it. Grace makes it all possible!

You are in an inner battle to win the race of faith. Focus on the goal of knowing Christ, following His personal word for your life, and setting your eyes on the heavenly prize of being with Him for eternity. Allow Him full access to transform your life with His resurrection power through circumcising your heart.

Open your heart in full surrender to allow the Spirit of the Lord to prepare you for a life of Christlike love in action. Rejoice during persecution knowing that God is in control and will work everything out for a good outcome, for His plan of salvation. Choose to shine as lights in the midst of a dark-hearted world. Bring the hope of Christ to all He leads you to.
