Leviticus 14, Mark 6 :30-56, Psalms 40 :1-10, Proverbs 10 :11-12

What God said to me – Have you ever had a teacher who made a great impact on your life and somehow the way they presented the material was in a way that you could understand?  A wise teacher understands that different people learn in different ways and so they change their methods based on their students – same material, just different methods.  Your relationship with Me is as a father and child, but it is also as a teacher and student.  I not only use this time together to fellowship with you, but to teach you as you read and study My word.  I use the circumstances of your life as methods and illustrations to reinforce all that “I AM” teaching you in My word.  One thing builds upon another as you grow and mature and learn and the things you encounter, and experience are opportunities for you to practice what “I AM” teaching you.  When you encounter situations that are different or frightening in your life and you don’t know what to do, stop and reflect on the things I have brought you through and what you learned.  Think about how you can apply past lessons to work through your present circumstances.  Remember your life is not just a series or random events, but it is a carefully thought-out plan I have for you to mature you and grow you and transform you.

Leviticus 13, Mark 6:1-29, Psalms 39:1-13, Proverbs 10:10

What God said to me – Technology can be wonderful, and it can be a curse depending on how it is used.  The same computer that can open up vast amounts of information for research and help can also open up much darkness and depravity.  An airplane can drop bombs that will destroy a city, or it can drop fire retardant to save one.  Your tongue is the same way – it can be an instrument of comfort and hope, or it can drop bombs and destroy lives.  It can share about Me and encourage others, or it can be profane and crude.  You must constantly guard your mouth because so much of the sin in your life is because of something you say whether intentionally or unintentionally.  There is a reason I said to be quick to hear and slow to speak.  Slow down and think before you speak, especially when you are angry or have been offended.  “I AM” always here so take a moment and seek My guidance before you respond and it will save you much heartache and regret later.

Leviticus 11-12, Mark 5:21-43, Psalms 38:1-22, Proverbs 10:8-9

What God said to me – Modern medicine given at the right time in the correct dosage for a specific disease or illness can bring about needed healing.  However, being given the wrong medicine can have devastating and unintended consequences.  Unfortunately, in today’s society some of what I have specifically said was sin is now being called “illness” and they are trying to treat it with medicine or therapy or counseling rather than by repentance and turning away from it or it is being accepted as “just the way you are”, and who you are is “okay”.  People do not want to hear that the only way they can be right with Me is by repenting and turning away from their sin.  The enemy is a master of deception, and it doesn’t take a lot of convincing when people love the sin they are entrenched in.  You, My child, must stay alert and be consistent in your time with Me and repentant as I convict you of sin in your life.  Don’t fall into the trap of excusing sin by redefining it.  You be holy as “I AM” holy – confess your sin as sin and I will be faithful and just to forgive your sin and to cleanse you of all unrighteousness.
