Romans 5-7

What God said to me – A committed athlete exults in his training even though it is difficult because he knows it is this difficult training that will prepare him to compete and finish strong.  In the same way I use the trials and tribulations you experience to train you – to develop perseverance in you so you can finish strong.  So when you experience various trials and difficulties exult in the knowing that “I AM” at work in you.  Embrace them as an athlete embraces the challenge knowing they are bringing about your sanctification and you are slowly being transformed into My image.  These things should give you hope and peace knowing that “I AM” doing a work in you and I have confidence that you will stand before Me totally accepted and pleasing to Me.

Romans 1-4

What God said to me – The state of the world can be summed up in this verse – “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”  The fear of Me – the awe of Me – has been one thing that has kept the world on a moral track.  The fear of displeasing Me – the fear of judgment – the fear of hell – have been restraints that kept society from slipping into total moral decay.  The world has turned a corner in these last days.  They either don’t believe or don’t care and so have gone their own way.  There is now open rebellion against Me and My word.  The world is quickly succumbing to the delusion of the enemy.  Even those who say they are Mine are falling for the lie.  It is not an easy time to stay faithful.  Hold on to Me.  Stay in My word.  “I AM” coming soon.
