Mark 4-5

What God said to me – Storms come into everyone’s life.  The question is what were you doing when the storm came?  The disciples were on a boat in the middle of the sea, but they were there because they were following Jesus’ instructions, and He was there with them.  Learn from this for the principle is the same – if you are walking with Me when the storm comes, “I AM” right there with you.  As distressful as it may be, there is no reason to be afraid for “I AM” with you.  I can calm the storm immediately in answer to your cry, but if I choose not to you can be assured you are where I want you and I will be with you through it.  At that point rather than continuing to ask Me to stop it, begin to ask Me what “I AM” doing in your life.  Trust that I have a purpose in the storm that is for your good and My glory.

Mark 1-3

What God said to me – Do you see when My Son came the first time it was because the time was fulfilled – it was at a specific point in time that I planned from the foundation of the world.  When He comes again it will also be when the time has been fulfilled – a specific point in time – the end of the ages that I also planned from the foundation of the world.  Just as John the Baptist preached the kingdom of God is at hand – repent and believe the gospel, the message for you to tell others is the same – the kingdom of God is at hand, repent and believe the gospel.  Time is running out.  You be faithful.  Look for opportunities that I bring to you so you can share.  Walk closely with Me so you will be found faithful.

Matthew 27-28

What God said to me – Spiritual things are spiritually discerned so those who don’t know Me have no understanding of who “I AM” or how I work.  So when you hear them say or do things that are so far from what you know to be true and right, don’t argue – pray.  Pray for them to come to know Me so they can know and understand the truth.  The mockers at the cross were yelling at My Son to come down from the cross and so prove He was My Son.  They didn’t understand that the reason He was on the cross was because He was My Son.  His being of the cross was proof He was My Son because He was obedient even to the point of death.  You will also face mockers in your life – let your absolute obedience to Me show that you are My child, be faithful no matter what and you will hear “this is My beloved child in whom “I AM” well pleased.”
