Ezra 5-7, Psalms 117

What God said to me – Follow the example of Ezra.  He set his heart to study My word, and to practice it, and to teach it.  Time spent in My word transforms you.  Just as the king saw Me in the life of Ezra, others will see Me in your life as you allow Me to transform you.  The transformation you long for does not happen apart from spending much time with Me in My word.  Time and diligence are necessary and as you devote yourself to Me, the transformation will happen.  Although you may not realize it, others will, and they will be drawn to Me as a result.

Ezra 1-4, Psalms 116

What God said to me – You have no idea how much I long to speak to those who are Mine.  I incline My ear toward them and wait for them to acknowledge Me and seek Me.  So many days I wait in vain, longing for you to come to Me.  I know the cares of this world and the busyness of your life draw you in and before you know it, you are long into your day, and you have bypassed your time with Me.  You must be diligent not to let that happen.  Time with Me is more important than any of the things pressing in on you.  “I AM” waiting for you.  I have inclined My ear toward you.  Come to Me.

2 Corinthians 10-13, Psalms 115

What God said to me – The enemy is becoming more and more active in the world, knowing his time is short.  As you see evil all around becoming more and more prevalent, you must keep in mind who “I AM”.  You must remember that “I AM” in control and My plan is being fulfilled perfectly.  Do not be afraid.  Remember that the weapons of your warfare are not fleshly but are divinely powerful.  My Spirit is at work in the world as well.  My purposes are being accomplished.  You must stay close to Me, walk with Me, and you will participate in the accomplishment of My plan as you do.
