Isaiah 6-7. 2 Corinthians 11:16-33, Psalms 54:1-7, Proverbs 23:1-3

What God said to me – Have you ever thought about what it was like for Isaiah to see Me on My throne high and lifted up?  He saw the seraphim surrounding Me – he saw My glory filling the temple – very few people have ever seen or experienced such an awesome sight.  Now look at Isaiah’s response – he said, “woe is me because I am a man of unclean lips”.  This man of God – My prophet who lived for Me and who spoke for Me recognized his abject sinfulness and the sinfulness of his people when he saw My holiness.  When I cleansed him and took away his iniquity and forgave his sins, his first words were, “here am I, send me”.  I told him judgment was coming and the people, for the most part, would refuse to hear or obey, but he went anyway because he had seen My holiness and he knew My salvation and forgiveness and there were a few who might come.  You are facing a similar situation in the world today.  I have saved you and forgiven you – judgment is coming – are you willing to go even though there are only a few people who will respond?  Will you, like Isaiah, say, “here am I send me”?

Isaiah 3-5, 2 Corinthians 11:1-15, Psalms 53:1-6, Proverbs 22:28-29

What God said to me – You are in the midst of a war every day – that is why you must consistently walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh.  I have given you powerful weapons to fight this war – divinely powerful weapons – but they are spiritual weapons.  With these weapons you can pull down strongholds and destroy fortresses.  You must seek Me constantly in prayer and stay in My word.  Quit daydreaming and letting your mind wander.  You must learn to take every thought captive and learn to set your mind consistently on things above.  To do this takes practice and consistent prayer.  This moment-by-moment conversation is where you gain the strength and discipline to walk in such a manner consistently.

Isaiah 1-2, 2 Corinthians 10, Psalms 52:1-9, Proverbs 22:26-27

What God said to me – My heart is broken because of My children who have turned away.  They still go through the motions – they still talk a good game and can justify their sin to themselves, but they are far from Me.  It’s easier and more comfortable to conform to the world – to fit in and be accepted.  As the world gets more perverse and corrupt, the harder it will be for you to stand – to remain faithful – to not waver.  You cannot do it apart from Me.  You cannot do it apart from My word.  You must be even more diligent to spend time in My word seeking Me and guarding your heart and mind.  Don’t grow weary in doing good because the time is growing short.  Those who don’t know Me will be judged at My coming.  Those who know Me but have fallen away will be ashamed at My coming.  But to you who have remained faithful I will say “well done, enter into My rest.”
