I am here, Lord. Show me where You are, Jesus. I watch and listen for You.
I am here, Lord. Show me where You are, Jesus. I watch and listen for You.
I quiet myself: “I am here, Lord. I set the children up to play. I still myself before You, ask for vision and trust You to speak what You have on Your heart for me today. I watch and listen for You. Watch over my children, Lord. I pray that play well together”.
Are you impressed by signs and wonders, spiritual gifts and manifestations? Some believers reject these out of hand as no longer being valid for today, but they should be accepted since they are in the Bible. Others give them undue influence, which is also an incorrect emphasis. The true measure of a believer is not in signs and wonders but in Christlike character. This may not be demonstrative in a way that is obviously visible. Love is not proud or boastful and does not seek her own visible display. Yet there is a spiritual reality in which this love shines forth from those who have it within them.
Does the phrase ‘pyramid scheme’ have a negative connotation for you? Do you avoid involvement in them? Do you realize that my church is based on a pyramid scheme? There is no central salvation department producing converts. The most effective means of evangelism is for those who have received life to share that life. This may appear to be a random and haphazard activity, but it is closely supervised by the Holy Spirit, without whom it could not take place, so it is organized from above. Do not hesitate to step forward and take part in this pyramid scheme. Trust me to make your efforts bear fruit.
Tonight I will be attending a Care Net fund raising banquet. I thought that I might share the opportunity to give with you!
Your economy is based on mass production. This was made possible by items with interchangeable parts. This is such an efficient system that it has created a level of wealth previously unimaginable. The only thing in the process that can’t be standardized is the workers, regardless of the efforts to do so. Have you ever felt the pressure to conform to a standard to make you interchangeable with other workers? I also have standards for you to conform to, but they are not to make you like everyone else. I made you in a fearful and wonderful way, giving you a purpose and hope all your own. Don’t let the world squeeze you into its mold, but come to me to be conformed to the destiny I set before you.
Blessed Holy Lord Jesus, what would You say to Your people today about the coming election?
Ben, the answer is the same as I have been giving to you and to other of My prophets.
I want My people to turn from their ways, to humble themselves before Me, to seek Me
so that I can heal your land! They are so slow in getting this message, even though
I am giving it to them in so many ways. How effectively they seek My face will determine
the outcome of this election, just as it was for the last election. Think on this. Come to Me
Why do you like your friends? Are they the best people you know? Yet you are friends with some people even though they have issues, and they are friends with you even though you have issues of your own. So although your friendship is the highest honor you can bestow, and you admire good character, friendship is not strictly a measure of character. I want you to understand this when I call you my friend. I did not extend my friendship to you because you were the best, but because I loved you and wanted you to be in my Kingdom. Entering this friendship with me and abiding in me will change you into my likeness, even as my best friend.
I just want to know why it is that I dream dreams at times where there is sexual content to it. The ones that are romantic in nature are fine, but then there are the ones that I can see myself having relations with a man and times where I don't see myself, but know that it is me in the dream. I don't go around throughout the day thinking of sex or any man in that way, so why would I be having these types of dreams? This disturbs me because I feel there is no foundation for me to be having them, and I don't want to feel that I am not pure in God's sight. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

What is the source of virtue? When you see small children who are well-behaved do you assume that their parents are diligent and consistent in training them? In like manner do you make assumptions about the parents of ill-behaved children? Yet I declared a proverb to be invalid concerning the parents eating sour grapes and the effect it would have on the children, and went on to say that each person was responsible for their own virtue. Positive early influences are desirable, but I created a world in which each individual is accountable. My promise of redemption is the same for all, no matter how favorable or unfavorable their start in life.
