Matthew 24:1-51

What God said to me – Therefore keep watch – you must always be ready for Me – you must always be prepared.  Don’t go along like the world, oblivious to Me and My working around you.  Spend much time with Me so you always stay aware . . . you are always looking for Me at work.  When you live in such a way, your spirit is sensitive to all “I AM” doing around you and in the world.  When you live in such a way, you are always ready to step in and join Me in My work.  My plans are unfolding according to My perfect timing like an orchestra reaching a crescendo to the climax of the music.  Will you walk with Me and experience the joy of it all or will you be taken by surprise?

Matthew 22:1-23:39

What God said to me – In order to please Me, you must be genuine, with no pretense.  Not just with no pretense before Me, but with no pretense before others.  It’s okay to struggle . . . to not be “spiritual” all the time.  The key is in how you deal with things.  Come to Me with your struggles rather than glazing over them.  Don’t pretend you’re not struggling or try to hide it – tell Me about it.  It’s not that I don’t know – it’s that it does you good to talk about it – to open a conversation with Me so I can teach you . . . help you.  Envy, resentment, pride – these are difficult things to deal with, but as you talk with Me about them, I’ll walk you through and help you to overcome whatever it is you’re struggling with.  “I AM” here – talk to Me.

Matthew 21:1-45

What God said to me – Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.  That is always true.  Listen to Me.  Walk with Me.  Go where I send you and you will be blessed.  Not only will you be blessed, but I will be praised for when you live in this way, everything in your life points to Me.  You may not realize it or see it, but others will see it and give Me praise.  Your conversation . . . your actions all will be a blessing because everything you do and say will come from Me.  This is to be your goal – to be so close to Me and to know Me so well that all you say and do is a reflection of Me.  Go in My name.  Live in My name.  You will be a blessing to those I bring into your path.
