Zechariah 14, Isaiah 65, Revelation 19

What od said to me – “I AM” the word who was in the beginning.  My name is called “The Word of God” so you can see how important My word is in the life of My children.  There are many who say they are My children who never pick up My word – never read it or study it or meditate on it or pray it.  You cannot truly know Me apart from My word because it is where I reveal Myself in depth.  It is where you learn My character.  It is where you learn My plan.  It is what I use to convict you and correct you and teach you what it means to walk in godliness and how to please Me.  “I AM” the Word of God and the Bread of Life.  Those who neglect My word are quite literally starving spiritually because you cannot grow and mature apart from it.  Time in My word should be one of the essential routines of your daily life so you can walk in a manner worthy of your calling.  You say you love Me – then come spend time with Me in My word.

Zechariah 12-13, Isaiah 64, Revelation 18

What God said to me – Zechariah prophesied of a day when Israel would be under attack and the clans of Judah would say, “a strong support for us are the inhabitants of Jerusalem through the Lord of hosts, their God.”  In time of trouble, can people say that about you?  When tragedy happens or natural disasters or illness or someone loses their job or any number of things that happen in life, do your neighbors and friends and co-workers and family know they can count on your help and support and prayers because you are My child.  Your relationship with Me should not be a secret or come as a surprise to anyone who knows you.  They should know because of the way you love and act and speak that you are Mine because you talk openly about our relationship and how you try to please Me in your daily walk.  Ministering to others and meeting needs as you encounter them should be a natural part of your walk with Me.

Zechariah 10-11, Isaiah 63, Revelation 17

What God said to me – What is it that you value – things, people, health, Me?  How do you measure value?  You’ve heard stories about someone who got a valuable coin in their change from a store or who bought a frame at a garage sale only to find a valuable painting hidden in it, so the price that was paid is not necessarily what determines value.  How valuable would antivenom be if a poisonous snake bit you?  When you were lost and destined for eternity away from Me, I shed My blood on the cross to save you – I gave it as a gift – totally free to you – and yet although it was freely given, its value is priceless to those who accepted My gift.  It’s unheard of in the world today for someone you don’t know to randomly give you something priceless just because they chose to – to single you out and give it to you.  But that’s exactly what I did because you are valuable to Me.  You are so valuable to Me as My child that I long for and delight in spending time with you.  Can you grasp that – Me – King of Kings and Lord of Lords wants to spend time with you.
