MALACHI 3:16-17 (2024)

MALACHI 3:16-17

Then those who revered the Lord spoke with one another. The Lord took note and listened, and a book of remembrance was written before him of those who revered the Lord and thought on his name. They shall be mine, says the Lord of hosts, my special possession on the day when I act, and I will spare them as parents spare their children who serve them.

---- mine,

Because you are mine, you are my inheritance, you are given to Me by My Father because you love Me and strive to please Me. Because you honor Me and pray to Me constantly, because you love and revere Me and worship Me, because you offer Me thanksgiving with a heart filled with gratitude for all the blessings I have showered on you and your loved ones, I desire you to know today that I always hear you. My love surrounds you. I abide in you always. You are mine. I have hedged you and your loved ones with a wall of protection and commanded my angels to guard and protect you. Not one of you will be lost or go astray.  

---- my own, be still and know that I AM God and that nothing is impossible for Me. Nothing is too difficult for Me to do. I will bless you and you will praise and honor Me now and forever. Be not afraid -  I have overcome the world. Rejoice and be glad for your deliverance and theirs is at hand.

1 KINGS 17:21-23 (2024)

1 KINGS 17:21-23

Then he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried out to the Lord, ‘O Lord my God, let this child’s life come into him again.’ The Lord listened to the voice of Elijah; the life of the child came into him again, and he revived. Elijah took the child, brought him down from the upper chamber into the house, and gave him to his mother; then Elijah said, ‘See, your son is alive.’

---- mine,

I hear you, I always hear you. I have answered your prayers and the day is coming when you will glorify Me with praise and thanksgiving. Have faith! Your son and all your children will live. I assure you not a single prayer that you have prayed for them and continue to do so will go unheard and unanswered. They are the children of God and I will return life to them. They will come home to Me as did the prodigal son to the loving and open arms of the Father. They will return to their Father's house and there will be great rejoicing in heaven when they come home. As for you, ---- my own, pray without ceasing not just for those you love but for all sinners to repent and to return to the fold. Do not tire of praying and in the end, all will have a seat at the banquet of the Bridegroom. When the Bridegroom returns to claim His Bride I will present her to My Father and the feasting and rejoicing will never end.
