GOD’S WORD TODAY

Ezekiel16:6-7

But I passed by and saw you immersed in your blood. I said to you in the midst of your blood, “Live!”  I made you grow like a plant in the field.

---- Mine, My Own, recall how it was I called you from darkness, from sin and misery to walk in My own marvelous light. You were  lost and the separation between us was wide until I said, "Thus far and no more." I called you by your name and I told you that you were Mine. I washed you in the Sacrament of Love and I cleansed you of all sin. I made you whole, I gave you new life, and I fed you with my Body and my Blood. I ransomed you and I planted  you among those whom I have claimed for myself.  Bloom for Me. Bear fruit for Me. Live in Me and have life forever.

John 1:43

“Follow Me.”

---- My Own, this invitation to follow Me is extended to all My disciples and they in turn extend it to those whom they evangelise.  When you speak of Me and teach and preach about Me, keep this in mind always, the fruit  must be visible in those who because of all you have said, and all they have seen in your life, decide to follow Me as well. Your witness must initiate a chain reaction. I established the Church slowly, a few followers at a time. I extended the invitation to follow Me and they did. But keep this in mind always, it is the work of the Holy Spirit that makes it possible for them to respond. It is grace working in them; therefore you are not to become proud and boastful for you are only the instrument through which we work. Be open, stay close to Me be bold a  faint heart will never win the Kingdom of God.

Matthew 17:20

I say to you: if only you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you could tell that mountain to move from here to there, and the moun­tain would obey. Nothing would be impossible to you.

---- Mine, faith is believing that God will keep His Word. What He has said He will do. God does not play games, He does not play fast and loose. He is not wayward He does not vacillate from one position at one moment and to another in the next. He is true. His Word is grounded in loving compassion for you. Yet, your faith is a small, weak puny thing. You do not ask as you should because You are not certain that what you ask for in faith will be granted to you. This is why I say to you, 'O you of little faith.' Despite all your experience of Me, despite all you know of Me, despite all that Scripture reveals about Me, you still lack the confidence to ask believing in faith that what you ask for will be granted to you. Pray for a greater, more sure faith and believe that you will be granted it.

Tobit 12:6

“Bless God, return thanks to him, proclaim his glory and render him thanks before all the living for all he has done for you. It is good to praise God and to exalt his Name, by making known in a worthy manner the story of God’s deeds. Do not be slow in giving him thanks.

---- My Own, this is how you evangelize you make known to everyone you encounter each day how good and gracious God has been to you, how He cares for you, watches over you, keeps you from falling into grave sin because He is merciful and loves you. His help is ever present. He hears all your prayers. He forgives all your sins and when you stumble he steadies you. He allows difficulties only to teach you not to succumb to them in despair but to teach you to trust in Me and in My Word. You have a tendency to allow inconsequential things to disturb your inner peace this is because your faith is not yet fully mature. If you had faith, a strong and robust faith, you would not allow trifles to steal your peace. Make it a habit to constantly recall all the blessings God has showered on you from the moment of your conception, all the blessing He pours upon you presently, and all the blessings He has in store for you as you journey towards the Kingdom which is your final destination and to eternal union with Me and you will be joyful always. Be of good cheer I have overcome the world.

Job 11:13-19

13 If you set your heart aright

and stretch out your hands to him,

14 if you wash your hand of sin

and allow no evil in your tent,

15 you will then raise your face in honor;

having no fear, you will feel secure.

16 You will forget your suffering

and recall it only as waters gone by.

17 Your life will be brighter than noonday

and its darkness like the morning.

18 You will be comforted, for there is hope;

you will be protected when you sleep.

19 You will lie down with no one to fear;

many will come to court your favor.

---- Mine, why do you hesitate in claiming all these promises I make to you? Don’t you trust My Word? I say nothing that I do not mean to fulfill for I am God. Why can you not see yourself as I see you as one loved and cherished by the Lord? How often have I told you that you are precious in My sight. I hold your hand in Mine. I will be with you and you with Me in time and eternity. Believe and be confident that I the Lord your God am with you always. When I give, I give without measure. All I ask of you is to walk in the light of integrity and truth and you will never walk alone.
