2 Samuel 8-12

What God said to me – Sin is so prevalent in the world today that even My children do not take it seriously.  You have ranked sin by “bad” and “not so bad” and pat yourself on the back that you are not like the world because your sin is in the “not so bad” category.  You don’t realize or don’t acknowledge that all sin is against Me.  All sin affects our relationship and your walk with Me.  You must be holy because “I AM” holy and you are Mine.  When you sin you blaspheme My name before the very people “I AM” trying to reach.  You damage your ability for Me to use you to reach them.  People do not respond positively to hypocrites.  You must humbly acknowledge your sin and allow Me to restore you so I can use you.  You must stay close to Me so I can make you holy.

2 Samuel 4-7

What God said to me – For My children who faithfully walk with Me, I do more than they could ever think or imagine.  Look at David who wanted to build a house for Me, but it was I who built a house for him that would last forever and impact the world in a way he never even dreamed.  I do the same for you.  I have blessed you and protected you and provided for you in ways you have no idea.  I have prepared a place for you that will last forever – a place where you can be with Me forever and walk and talk with Me as a friend.  The relationship we have now is nothing compared to what it will be.  The longer you walk with Me in faithfulness and obedience, the closer we get and yet there is more – so much more.

2 Samuel 1-3

What God said to me – You may not like what you see when you look at your country and see the state of decay and leaders who do not seek Me or know Me, but know this – there is no one in power whom I have not allowed to be there.  Take comfort knowing that “I AM” in control and I have put them there to accomplish My purpose and My plan.  This does not mean that you passively accept evil for you must always take a stand for what is right and good.  Your priority is to pray and to seek Me and to walk with Me in the midst of this evil society.  The weapons of your warfare are not physical, but spiritual.  You fight for Me on your knees and in My word.  You may not see much change, but things will happen.  I will be glorified and My purposes accomplished.
