Luke 12:1-14:35

What God said to me – Walking with me, serving Me is not something you turn on and off or do when it’s convenient.  On days when there’s nothing pressing, don’t take the day off and do as you please.  Spend that time with Me and in My word.  Those “down” times are the times I use to refresh and restore you, so you are ready when opportunities arise for service or ministry.  Always be vigilant and ready to serve when a need arises.  It’s when you let down your guard or you’re doing your own thing rather than seeking Me that trials and circumstances can overwhelm.  I don’t always let you know what is coming, but I always prepare you for it if you let Me. Don’t waste the little time you have.  Spend it with Me.

Luke 10:1-11:54

What God said to me – Don’t ever take our relationship for granted because it is special . . . it is unique.  I choose who I reveal Myself to and I have chosen you.  When I reveal Myself to you, I also reveal My Father to you for anyone who sees and knows Me, sees and knows My Father.  I love you and long to teach you many truths and to reveal My will to you, but don’t allow that to become the source of your joy.  Rejoice in Me and in who “I AM”.  It is a subtle difference, but a difference to be sure.  When you begin to focus on what you learn or what I show you rather than on Me, pride enters in.  Those things happen because of our relationship – they are not THE relationship.  Look to Me and rejoice in Me.

Luke 8:1-9:62

What God said to me – My desire is for those in My family to hear My word and put it into practice.  Therefore consider carefully how you listen.  It is important.  It is life.  The seed of My word will only grow in your life as you spend time with Me letting Me reveal truth to you and then you obey that truth. My word is the path to the abundant life you long for.  “I AM” the word and to know My word is to know Me.  To obey My word is to obey Me. To spend time in My word is to spend time with Me.  I have given you the gift of My word and the gift of My Spirit to reveal My word to you.  My word is life so cling to it, meditate on it and obey it.  You long to know Me – then spend much time in My word.
