Ezekiel 20, Hebrews 9:11-28. Psalms 107:1-43, Proverbs 27:11

What God said to me – Lift up your eyes to Me and keep them there.  When you are looking at Me you can’t concentrate of the things of the world.  It’s not that you don’t see them, but your attention is on Me, so they are not important to you.  When you take your eyes off of Me, then those things become your focus.  When you begin to focus on those things is when you begin to move away from Me, and you fall away.  Keep your eyes on Me.  Spend time in My word allowing Me to speak to you and fellowship with you so that you will remain steadfast.

Ezekiel 18-19, Hebrews 9:1-10, Psalms 106:32-48, Proverbs 27:10

What God said to me – You are My child.  I saved you and made you My own.  You know this and you say you want to walk with Me and be like Me, but let Me ask you this – where do you spend your time – what do you do the most?  If you truly want to be like Me there is one thing you need to focus on – prayer.   When I walked the earth, I spent hours talking to My Father each day – interceding for others, getting direction and just to be refreshed and restored through fellowship with Him.  After My resurrection I sat down at the right hand of My Father and began to constantly intercede for those who I saved forever.  I always live to make intercession for them.  “I AM” your High Priest forever and I intercede for you constantly.  I have made you a priest for Me where you are so you must learn to pray without ceasing for all those I bring into your sphere of influence.  You are never more like Me than when you are praying for others – so pray!

Ezekiel 16:42-17:24, Hebrews 8, Psalms 106:13-31, Proverbs 27:7-9

What God said to me – You must always be diligent and vigilant in your walk.  Don’t ever let down or try to coast because it is easy to fall away.  You must be especially alert during the good times when things are going well for you.  During those times you are not desperate for My presence or desperate to hear from Me because the need is not ever before you as it is when things are going wrong.  It is easy to become forgetful and just go about your day on your own and not seek My counsel.  Israel was notorious for forgetting My works and the things I had done for them so consequently they kept falling away from Me. Purpose in your heart to start every day seeking My direction.  Spend time reflecting on all I have done and express your gratitude and praise.  Make this the habit of your life until it becomes second nature to you.
