Numbers 36, Psalms 48, Acts 7:1-39

What God said to me – It is true that I saved you once and that your salvation is forever but even so you must guard your heart.  You are constantly being bombarded with ungodly influences and it is easy to compromise so you can feel accepted.  Look at My people, Israel, after I saved them out of Egypt – they never returned physically to Egypt, but in their hearts they turned back.  You must be on guard for that very thing.  You can be active in church and outwardly continue to say and do the right things but at the same time allow your heart and mind to dwell on the ungodly things around you that you see and hear and read.  It is easy to do. If you want to be the exception and walk with Me wholeheartedly and unwaveringly it takes diligence and perseverance.  You cannot let your guard down for a moment.  Devote yourself to My word and this time together with Me to you are prepared to stand firm.

Numbers 34-35, Psalms 47, Acts 6

What God said to me – Love and hate are two polarizing emotions and are becoming more so each day as society plunges into darkness.  The things My people stand for and love are the very things the world hates and tries to destroy.  The things My people hate and try to destroy are the things the world stands for and loves.  It is not just a battle for the soul of a nation – of the world – it is outright war – spiritual warfare.  It is imperative that you are prepared so you are not overwhelmed.  You must put on the full armor of the Spirit every day.  Don’t neglect this time because this is where I prepare you to stand firm.  I know you feel the urgency and the sense that something is about to happen.  Don’t be afraid that things are spiraling out of control because “I AM” sovereign now and always.

Numbers 33, Psalms 46, Acts5:17-42

What God said to me – “I AM” you refuge and strength – a very present help in time of trouble.  That is why you shouldn’t be afraid even when you see the whole earth changing.  The days of looking up to people who love My word and who walk with Me are passing.  Godly people are no longer lauded but are ridiculed.  You must determine to stand strong no matter what you face and say with the disciples “we must obey God rather than men.”  It will not be easy.  You will become an offense to them.  They will accuse you of being a radical, of being judgmental and intolerant.  When it happens, and it will if you stand and speak about Me, don’t be afraid.  Rejoice as the disciples did that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for My name.
