Genesis 17-18, Job 9, Mark 6:1-29

What God said to me – I visited Abraham personally and revealed My plans to him because I chose him.  Because of our relationship, I did not hide My plans from him.   In the same way I not only personally share with you, but I live within you to give you constant support and guidance.  I have revealed Myself to you in My word.  My word is truth and a wealth of spiritual treasure and knowledge to help you grow and  bring an intimacy to our relationship that can only come as you seek Me in My word.  If you truly want to know Me deeply and intimately My word is as essential to your life as food and water. “I AM” the bread of life and the living water that you must partake of to thrive spiritually.  If you dedicate yourself to this, I will reveal Myself to you.

Genesis 15-16, Job 8, Mar 5:21-43

What God said to me – Like Job’s friends, everyone has an opinion about why things go wrong in your life or even why you don’t have great blessings.  You are the same way sometimes.  The natural tendency is to think when something bad happens that you are being punished for wrong you have done and when something good happens that you are being blessed for the good you have done.  This misunderstanding is because people do not know Me or understand how I work.  When persecution came to the early church, the gospel was spread throughout the world.  When Jarius’ daughter died, I was able to use it to show My power and bring people to believe by raising her from the dead.  I use all things, good and bad, to work in your life and bring glory to My name.  I use both bad and good things to draw people to Me.  As you walk with Me day by day, moment by moment, you will see this happening.  You must learn to glorify Me in all things, good and bad, because “I AM” always at work in your life.

Genesis 13-14, Job 7, Mark 5:1-20

What God said to me – You have many choices in your life – some major, some minor, some obvious, some not so obvious.  Some of the seemingly minor choices end up having major consequences.  So how do you decide?  When offered a choice of the land by Abram, Lot chose based on looks, by what seemed to be the best and most prosperous, but he ended up in a world of trouble.  So how should you decide?  This is where your consistent walk with Me will be beneficial to you.  When you are constantly walking with Me and conversing with Me, you are discussing your life with Me and seeking My guidance.  I will direct your path exactly where I want you to go so no matter what these choices bring you, you will know you are in My will and “I AM” working My good pleasure in your life.
