1 Chronicles 19-20, Proverbs 20:1-15, Titus 1

What God said to me – How are you living?  What do the things you do and say and watch and read say about you – about what you truly believe?  If I were the proverbial “fly on the wall” in your daily life would the things I heard you say or saw you do be a testimony of your godliness and walk with Me or of your defilement by the world and going your own way?  Well news flash!  “I AM” with My children every moment of every day.  I see the things you do and hear the things you say as well as the things you watch and read and even think.  If you truly want to walk in a manner worthy of your calling, you need to keep this in the forefront of your mind.  There are those who profess to know Me, but their deeds deny Me and not just their deeds but their coarse speech and the impure things they focus on.  Sanctification – the process of becoming holy as “I AM” holy – is an ongoing, moment by moment process that will continue until I come for you.

1 Chronicles 17-18, Proverbs 19:14-29, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 to 5

What God said to me – The day of the Lord is quickly approaching – you can sense it – you can see the signs of the times.  It will come like a thief in the night for many but not for those of My children who are alert and walking with Me.  When you walk as children of light, that day will not overtake you like a thief because you will be prepared and ready.  Keep in the forefront of your mind what is on the horizon and put on your armor each day so you won’t falter.  Encourage one another and build one another up with the hope that is within you and the hope that is coming.  Even when you hear all the bad news around the world rejoice knowing that you are one step closer to obtaining the hope of your salvation.  I will sanctify you entirely and preserve your spirit, soul, and body completely and without blame at My coming.

1 Chronicles 15-16, Proverbs 19:1-15, 1 Thessalonians 4

What God said to me – From the time you were born until I come again “I AM” working in you to sanctify you – to make you holy – to transform you into My image.  This process of sanctification is ongoing until the time when I come, and you put on your imperishable, eternal body.  It is much like on-the-job training where you work alongside someone who knows the job and is able to show you step by step how to do it – even how to fix your mistakes when you mess up.  This time with Me is not just fellowship but it is learning and practicing and what to do when you mess up.  Whether you realize it or not, day by day, moment by moment, as you walk with Me you are being sanctified.  So never be satisfied and think you have arrived or done enough but constantly be striving to excel still more.
