John 17:1-26

What God said to me – I brought glory to My Father by completing the work He gave Me to do.  In the same way, you bring glory to Us by completing those things We give you to do.  It is not the size of the task that brings glory, but your obedience in carrying it out.  Are you faithful?  Are you diligent?  Are you quick to obey?  The scope of your ministry is not what is important to Me, but your faithfulness, your diligence, and your obedience are.  You may not be called to be a great evangelist, but you are still called to reveal Me to those I give to you whether in your family or in your workplace or in your church or in your community.  Live for Me.  Look like Me and I will be glorified through you.

John 15:1-16:33

What God said to me – But I tell you the truth – it is for your good . . .  whatever it is – when you follow Me and obey Me, I work all things for your good.  I know it’s difficult for you to always see and understand that right away.  You grieve and you struggle, and you doubt because you can’t see the end from the beginning like I can.  Although in the midst of a trial that you are struggling through you may not understand My purpose or see how I can work it out for good, you must trust that I will.  That is what it truly means to walk by faith.  Doubts may come but don’t wallow in them. Turn quickly to Me and let me reassure you and comfort you. Let Me turn your grief and doubts into joy and faith.

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.
