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.

Leviticus 9:7-10:20, Mark 4:26-5:20, Psalms 37:30-40, Proverbs 10:6-7

What God said to me – They say that hindsight is twenty-twenty and it’s difficult not to look back and say “what if” and to wish you hadn’t done the things you did before you came to know Me or that you had come to know Me and serve Me sooner or even to regret your sins and failures afterward.  However, as you surrender to Me and seek to walk in faith, you need to forget the things that lie behind and press on to the mark of your high calling and trust that I will use all you have done and experienced in your life for your good and My glory.  Look at the demon possessed man in the country of the Gerasene’s.  After I delivered him, he begged to come with Me, but I didn’t let him.  I sent him back home and told him to tell everyone there what great things I had done for him and how I had mercy on him.   He obeyed and everyone who heard him was amazed.  So, as you walk with Me, don’t regret your past or hide it, but use it as motivation and inspiration to tell everyone about the great things I have done for you and how I delivered you.  I have called you where I called you – be faithful!

Leviticus 7:28-9:6, Mark 3:31-4:25, Psalms 37:12-29, Proverbs 10:5

What God said to me – Have you ever stumbled around in the dark looking for a flashlight because the power went out?  It’s great when you can go right to it and flip it on and see.  But what if it’s been so long since you used it that you can’t remember where it is, or the batteries are bad, or it wasn’t put back where it was supposed to be – then you struggle in the dark.  My word is a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path, but for it to be that for you, you need to be in it and know it.  I gave you My word for your help and benefit – to instruct you and guide you – to teach you how to walk in a manner worthy of your calling.  It’s of very little use to you if you put it away and rarely use it.  When something happens in your life – when you need help and guidance – when the “power goes out”, are you able to go right to it without stumbling around?  I use this time to teach you and train you for just such times.  I want you to hide My word in your heart, not put it away in a drawer.  It is living and active and meant to be used every day.
