2 Kings 9-10, Psalms 127, John 12:20-50

What God said to me – When My Son, Jesus, was on the earth many rulers of the Jews believed in Him, but because of the pharisees they were not confessing Him publicly for fear they would be put out of the synagogue – they loved the approval of men rather than My approval.  So look at the society you live in today.  Do you hesitate to acknowledge Me publicly or fear of ridicule or of the negative reaction you would receive?  Do you hesitate to pray or to share about what “I AM” doing in your life or in the world or to take a stand against the abominations being committed in the name of “rights” or “love” or “privacy”?  Do you love Me but seek the approval of men also?  You can’t have it both ways.  If you truly love Me and acknowledge Me and stand against the evil in society you will be mocked and denigrated and persecuted by most of them.  Time is growing short – choose you this day whom you will serve.

1 King7-8, Psalms 126, John 12:1-26

What God said to me – There was a great famine in Samaria, the capital city of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, and at the same time the Arameans were besieging the city.  It was a terrible time – the people were literally starving to death.  But I in My mercy miraculously intervened and caused the army of the Arameans to flee leaving behind their animals and food and supplies, but no one in the city knew of My mercy so their suffering continued.  But four lepers went to the camp and discovered what I had done so they ate and drank and enjoyed the bounty left behind.  But then they said, “We are not doing right.  This is a day of good news and we are keeping silent.”  So they went and told the people so they could reap the benefits of My mercy and be saved.  You are living in a time where there is a great famine of My word and people are literally dying because they don’t know that I in My mercy have provided for their salvation.  You know the truth so don’t keep silent.  Share the good news and give them the opportunity to share in the bountiful salvation My mercy has provided.

2 Kings 5-6, Psalms 125, John 11:21-57

What God said to me – My plan when I chose Israel was for them to be a light for the world to lead them to Me.  They were a tiny, insignificant nation and yet I wanted to use them.  I used an insignificant little Israeli girl who by her faithfulness changed the life of a mighty warrior from Aram, Naaman the leper, and he came to know that “I AM” God alone even in the midst of the idolatrous society he came from.  In the same way I want to use you to reach those around you – those you come in contact with.  Be vocal like the little Israeli girl to speak up and tell what I have done in your life and how I have met your needs.  Look at Jesus, My Son’s example.  When he prayed outside Lazarus’ tomb, He prayed out loud – He knew I always heard His prayers but He prayed out loud for the benefit of those who were there so they would know of His faith and trust in Me.  So when you pray for others don’t always pray in private but sometimes pray aloud – let them hear your heart and requests so that they can know you are Mine and know that you care for them.
