1 Kings 13-34, Psalms 119:145-160, John 8:1-30

What God said to me – Truth is a rare commodity now days.  You can’t trust leaders or want-to-be leaders because they say whatever they think is necessary to get elected.  So what are you to do?  Who are you to believe?  The prophet I sent to pronounce judgement to Jeroboam didn’t have any qualms about following My instructions and refusing Jeroboam’s requests but when another prophet lied to him, he fell for it because he trusted him rather than running it by Me for confirmation.  As a result, he paid a great price.  You have a responsibility as My child to use My word as your guide and the level by which you judge everything.  The sum of My word is truth.  Whether it is what a politician or a preacher or whoever is saying it – compare it to My word before you believe and accept it.  My children must base their actions and belief systems on My word and not on what people say and do.

1 Kings 11-12, Psalms 119:129-144, John 7:25-53

What God said to me – You don’t have to go to seminary or be a brilliant scholar to understand My word.  You just have to be My child.  I have given you My Spirit as a comforter and intercessor and teacher and I have given you My Son who is the word made flesh.  I have given you all you need for life and godliness and so you just need to be diligent in using and applying all that I have provided.  The Psalmist said the unfolding of My word gives light and understanding.  The “unfolding” implies action on your part – unfolding doesn’t just happen without you doing something.  You must spend time reading and studying and asking Me to teach you and give you understanding.  Don’t just give up because you’re not “smart” enough or “spiritual” enough to get it.  Keep on asking and questioning and meditating and wrestling and I will reward your diligence and open the eyes of your understanding.

1 Kings 9-10, Psalms 119:113-128, John 7:1-24

What God said to me – The psalmist said,“It is time for the Lord to act, for they have broken Your laws.”  I know you long for this as you see the world moving further and further away from Me and accepting and promoting and even rejoicing in all manner of depravity.  Never forget that My timing is always perfect and that I have a plan that “I AM” carrying out.  When the time is right I will call My church home and pour out My wrath on the world.  Until that time you keep praying and looking for those who are receptive to Me.  To do that you can’t live in isolation, hunkered down and waiting.  You must be in the world, but not of it.  You must be My hands and feet in ministering to those who are hurting.  You must be vocal about who “I AM” and what I have done to save them from the judgment they are under so that those “I AM” calling will hear My voice through you and respond.
