Luke 2:1-3:38

What God Said to me – Do you live in such a way that I could say to the world ‘this is My child in whom “I AM” well pleased’?  That’s My desire for all My children.  My pleasure doesn’t come from your “doing”, it comes from your walk.  As you spend time with Me in fellowship and seeking to know Me and My word and then walk as I direct, “I AM” pleased.  It’s much easier to serve Me in ministry than it is in your daily life of family and work.  You must learn not to separate your life into compartments where in some places you seek Me and in others you handle it yourself.  Life with Me – walking with Me is to be all encompassing if you truly want to please Me.  Whatever you are doing or saying or even thinking, you must seek to glorify and please Me.

Luke 1:1-80

What God said to me – Can you say as Mary did ‘I am the Lord’s servant.  May it be to me as You have said’?  Can you say that whether My plan is for poverty or prosperity, difficulty or ease?  It takes great faith to say it in the difficult circumstances of life and that kind of faith comes from knowing Me intimately and learning to trust Me.  That kind of intimate knowledge and faith comes from spending much time in My word and with Me in prayer and fellowship.  It’s only as you truly know Me and understand My desire for your best that you can trust Me to use whatever means I think proper to do the work in you and accomplish My purpose for your life.
