Mark 9:1-9:50

What God said to me – To walk steadfastly in faith is not easy.  The world does not want you to believe.  The enemy does not want you to believe.  Sometimes even My people do not want you to believe because your faith convicts them of their lack of faith.  “I AM” the one who gives faith to you and “I AM” the one who helps you stand in faith.  When you are struggling, cry out to Me – “Lord help me to overcome my unbelief”.  The more you walk with Me and the more time you spend in My word, the greater your faith will become.  As you see Me work and understand My character, your faith will grow for your faith will be based in Me and not in the thing you want accomplished.  That’s where most people go wrong – they look at the obstacle or trial and say this is impossible instead of looking at Me and saying with God all things are possible.

Mark 7:1-8:38

What God said to me – Who do you say that “I AM”?  Ask yourself that question daily.  The answer is always “I AM” the Christ, your Savior, the Lord Almighty, the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End, the All Sufficient One.  The question is – Do you live like that is the answer or do you just give lip service to the question?  You would never dream of saying that “I AM” other than “I AM”, but does your life back it up?  Do you truly live for Me or just say it?  Do you truly depend on Me or just say it?  Do you truly trust Me or just say it?  The answer “I AM” interested in is the way you actually live your life.  Anyone can say it, but few actually live it.  Who do you say that “I AM”?

Mark 5:1-6:56

What God said to me – When you are tired, “I AM” what you need.  When you are hungry, “I AM” what you need.  Come with Me by yourself to a quiet place and rest.  Let Me refresh and restore you.  Don’t worry about what people think, either good or bad.  Don’t worry about all that needs to be done.  Stop – come to Me and let Me minister to you.  Just a little time spent alone with Me will strengthen you so you can do all that needs to be done.  It will also help you to see clearly where you should focus your time and energy and to prioritize what’s truly necessary and what is just noise.  Use Me as your filter for I see what has eternal consequences and what does not.  Come alone with Me and let Me give you rest.
