Numbers 31, Psalms 44, Acts 4:19-37

What God said to me – The early church understood that all that happened to My Son was what My hand and My purpose predestined to occur.  In spite of their fear of those who crucified Him their prayer was for confidence and boldness to speak My word.  In the same way as you see all of the ungodliness and chaos and attacks against My people, you need to pray this same prayer because all you see happening is what My hand and My purpose have predestined.  Pray for confidence and boldness to speak no matter how it is accepted or what the repercussions may be.  “I AM” working out My plan for this world and there are still a few who will come to Me so you be faithful to share.  Time is running out – feel the urgency and be bold.

Numbers 29-30, Psalms 43, Acts 4:1-22

What God said to me – It is important that My children walk in such a way and speak in such a way that those they encounter know they belong to Me.  If you are ever to make an impact for My kingdom your quiet confidence and steadfast faith must be apparent and to live in such a way you must spend much time with Me and in My word.  This doesn’t mean you can’t have fun or be person others enjoy being with but be known as kind and encouraging rather than coarse or cutting.  They may not like or agree with your beliefs but they will be drawn by your encouragement and kindness.  Your goal in your relationships as you walk with Me is not total acceptance by the world but to be a godly influence and witness so that some may be drawn to me.

Numbers 27-28, Psalms 41, Acts 3

What God said to me – My children suffer so much grief and unnecessary pain because they don’t seek My best and wait for My answer.  They go off on their own and try to fix it themselves and solve their own problems.  In doing so they settle for so much less than I have for them and they miss out on the abundant life I have promised.  The invalid beggar at the temple would have settled for alms from Peter and John when I desired to heal him so he wouldn’t have to beg.  The crowd at the crucifixion settled for the release of a murderer when I provided them with a Savior.  Seek Me first and My kingdom and all these things will be added to you – that was My promise.  Quit worrying about what’s going on.  Don’t try to “fix” things yourself.  Seek Me and My will in prayer and continue to pray and rest in Me.  “I AM” faithful to do exceedingly more abundantly than you can think or ask.  Trust Me.
