Good morning, blessed Holy Lord Jesus, what would You say to me today?
 
Ben, I would say that this is a day in which to rejoice! I would say that My return
is very soon!  Oh that My people would awaken to My call to them to come to Me
so that I can heal them and their land. I will continue to allow events to take place
as a wake-up call to My own!
 
Lord, what else do You have for Your beloved people today?
 

You know you need to repent of your own sins. Have you ever felt the need to repent of someone else’s? Isaiah came before me and acknowledged that he was a man of unclean lips and lived among a people of unclean lips. I accepted his repentance on behalf of his people. If you understand that in Adam all have sinned then you know that all humanity is tainted by eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Have you ever repented specifically for this? The resulting problems may not be obvious because they apply universally rather than by contrast between individuals. Yet if you have eyes to see that you may turn from this I will deliver you into life. 

Have you heard jokes about those who want patience right now? You know that patience is a fruit of the Holy Spirit. It takes time to grow. Procrastination is not a fruit of the Holy Spirit, but many people practice it and mistake the one for the other. Are you frustrated by the slow pace of circumstances beyond your control? This calls for patience to stay diligent and focused even though you have to wait for results. If you are slack concerning things you do have control over it is procrastination rather than patience. I want you to act with all diligence to perform everything that I have commanded you even while you patiently wait for other things to come about. 

Well, you can, by joining Steve Stewart on another Journey of Compassion to northern India this coming January 26 - Feb. 7th! I went with Steve's team last year and it was the most transformational two weeks of my life. I went because Steve promised that everyone who went would lay hands on the sick and see them healed. I said, "Everyone? Is this a guarantee?" Steve said, "Yes, everyone. It is a guarantee." Well, I love guarantees. We promise that everyone who uses the 4 keys to hearing God's voice will hear, and sure enough, they do. And guess what? Steve's guarantee was absolutely fulfilled as well as all 36 on our team last year saw people healed as they laid hands on the sick.

You live in a culture obsessed with youth. The only effects attributed to advancing age are negative in reference to declining abilities of every type. My word does not give this perspective. Your life is an opportunity for spiritual growth. This is not a predictable progression as with so many physical and mental abilities. Spiritual maturity can be found in the young, but this is rare. Blessed are those who make it their goal. It doesn’t happen automatically, and you can observe the tragedy of the elderly who decline in every way including this one. It is a characteristic highly valued in my Kingdom, and it is a capacity that does not diminish with age.

Have you heard of expanded consciousness? This phrase came into general use several decades ago in reference to drugs and alternative lifestyles. Expanded consciousness is a valid concept but these are counterfeit forms of it. Behold I have given you the promise that if you abide in me and my word abides in you, you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. I promised to send the Comforter to lead you into all truth. If you respond and pursue this you will be spiritual and judge all things, and in that day you will ask me nothing for you shall be enlightened and have true expanded consciousness. 

Lord Jesus, I come to You. Where do You want to meet me today?

Mark, I want to meet you in heaven. Because that is where I live and that is where you live, seated with Me in heavenly places.

Lord, I come. What do You want to show me?

My word speaks of several who have departed from familiar surroundings to go on a spiritual journey of discovery. Father Abraham is a prime example. You see the same thing in the ongoing story of history. Have you noticed how rare it is for someone raised in a church not to go through a period of examining and questioning their traditional practices? Yet even here there is more than one approach. You can start in rebellion against all you have learned, or use it for a launching pad from which to move on. Who is more successful? If you reject all you have been given you have no foundation from which to progress but if you honor the good you already have you are in a position to make it better, and make it your own.
