2 Kings 19-20, Psalms 132, John 15

What God said to me – You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit.  Never think that you are not an important part of My kingdom and My family – I chose you!  I have a plan for you and “I AM” working it out.  Don’t be surprised when you experience persecution and hatred – I experienced it and they hated Me without cause.  When you are faced with trials and difficulty or persecution and hatred do as Hezekiah and come into My presence and lay them out before Me.  Cry out to Me and I will hear you and give you peace.  It’s not important that your circumstances change because they are only temporary – it’s important that your heart and mind change because your sanctification is eternal.  Trust My sovereignty wherever you find yourself and you will have peace wherever you find yourself.

2 Kings 17-18, Psalms 31, John 14:51-31

What God said to me – You live in a world where for the most part My word is rejected and people live however they want with no fear of judgment or consequences.  They have been told to live their “truth” and not My Truth.  They have been told there is freedom in living their “truth” but they have no idea they are being sucked into the disillusionment of the enemy and rather than freedom they are becoming slaves.  So how are you as My child supposed to interact with them?  Your opinion is of little consequence because as far as they are concerned it is your “truth” and okay for you but not for them.  What you are to do is to respond how Jesus responded – He told them the things He said were not His word, but Mine – that He only did and spoke the things I told Him to.  So you must know My word well enough that you can communicate My word and be very clear that it is My word.  If they reject it, they are rejecting Me and not you and you will have been a faithful watchman on the wall warning them of the judgment that comes from rejecting Me. 

2 Kings 15-16, psalms 130, John 14:1-21

What God said to me – In this up and down and tumultuous world hope is a rare and precious commodity.  People have difficulty surviving for long when there is no hope.  The thing is that hope is only as good as the thing hoped for – if your hope is in a good medical report and it comes back bad then your hope is crushed- if your hope is in the government rescuing you after a natural disaster and they don’t come through then your hope is crushed – if your hope for financial stability is in your job or a stock market and you lose your job or the stock market crashes then your hope is crushed.  The only hope that is certain is if you put your hope and trust in Me and in My word.  “I AM” steadfast and faithful and I keep My word.  I have gone to prepare a place for you and I will come again to receive you to Myself that where “I AM” you may be also.  Look for that day – hope for that day – pray for that day.  Look up for you redemption draws nigh.
