Luke 20:1-21:38

What God said to me – Be always on the watch and pray so that you may be able to stand.  It takes devotion and diligence to stand for Me.  You must not only be wholly committed to live for Me, but you must be continually committed.  It’s not a onetime thing, it’s an ongoing lifestyle of choosing Me every minute, every hour, every day.  The enemy would like nothing better than for you to fall.  The world would like nothing better than for you to fall.  In order to stand firm, you must stay alert and be prepared.  Spend time with Me and in in My word and I will prepare you.  I will personally teach you and give you insight into the word.  I will give you discernment so you will be able to stand when you are under attack.  I will give you strength so you will not fall.

Luke 18:1-19:48

What God said to me – What effort do you make to see Me?  Or do you make any effort?  If you really want to see Me, you need to put yourself in a position to see Me.  So much of the time you let everything going on around you to either distract you or to block you from seeing Me.  It takes real effort on your part to get above it all so you can see Me.  That’s why I rose early to be alone with My Father.  When I sought Him out and spent time seeking His direction, I didn’t let the crush of the day push Him aside.  I was able to accomplish His purpose in the midst of it.  You must determine to move ahead of all you know is coming and pulling at you for attention and look to Me.  You say you want to see Me and hear from Me – make the effort for “I AM” here waiting for you.

Luke 17:1-37

What God said to me – No one wants to be a servant, but everyone wants to be the master. If you want to be like Me, you must be a servant. A true servant doesn’t serve for recognition or thanks, but to please his master. That is why I served – it was to please My Father who sent Me. Follow My example and seek to please your Father in heaven. The master provides the servant all he needs to complete the task. In the same way My Fathers provides all you need to accomplish the tasks He’s called you to do. Don’t worry that your faith is not great enough. It actually takes very little faith to accomplish great things and My Father will provider all you need for your task. Don’t worry that you don’t have the ability. My Father will enable you to accomplish all He calls you to do. Your part is to be a willing servant.
