John 14:1-31

What God said to me – I have made My home in you and “I AM” always with you so you never have to worry about what you should say or do in any situation.  My Spirit will bring to mind all that you should say or do in order to please Me.  When you study My Spirit teaches you and gives you understanding whether it is a basic truth or something deeper.  Ask Me when you don’t understand for “I AM” always willing to give wisdom to those who seek it.  There is nothing a teacher likes better than a student who wants to learn.  The more time you spend in My word studying it and seeking Me, the greater your hunger and desire will grow.  You want to have a heart for Me – then spend time in My word and your heart will be knitted to Mine.

John 13:1-38

What God said to me – Servanthood is an attitude that demonstrates love and humility.  You can serve and yet not be a servant.  In order to please Me – to be like Me – you must be a servant – not just a server.  When you serve with an attitude of resentment, you’re just a server and not a servant.  You must learn not to think of service as a duty, but as an opportunity to be like Me, to show My love to others and to please Me.  Don’t long for or expect thanks and appreciation from those you serve.  Look to Me.  Long to please Me.  Sacrifice and servanthood are expressions of the extent of your love, not just for the ones you are serving, but for Me.  Serve faithfully with an attitude of love and someday you will hear me say, “Well done my good and faithful servant – well done.”

John 12:1-50

What God said to me – When you are facing a trial or difficult circumstance look to My example. In the last few days before My crucifixion, I was troubled, knowing what was coming. Rather than try to escape the trial, I turned to My Father. I knew this trial was part of His plan for Me so that He would be glorified. In the same way, when you face a trial, turn to us. Seek Our glory as We carry out Our plan for your life. Sometimes glory comes in the form of a miraculous rescue. Sometimes it comes as We walk beside you, sustaining you, and seeing you through the trial. Either way the result is the same when you trust in Us – We are glorified in heaven and on earth as Our plan for you is fulfilled.
