11-3-07 Malachi 3:1

Malachi 3:1 (NAS)
Behold, I am going to send My messenger, and he will clear the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; and the messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight, behold, He is coming," says the LORD of hosts.

Malachi 3:1 (NLT)
Look! I am sending my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me. Then the Lord you are seeking will suddenly come to his Temple. The messenger of the covenant, whom you look for so eagerly, is surely coming," says the LORD Almighty.


When Adonai wishes to speak to His people, many times He will send messengers or representatives. These ambassadors are to clear the way for the Lord and turn His people back to Him. You have been called to represent Jehovah, directing and leading others to Him. You tread with them to the throne of God and bring them before His face.
As you seek His face, the Lord shall suddenly come to His temple. Do not be surprised when He attacks your enemies. He has the power to prevail over and defeat them. He will cause you to endure, gain ground, and accomplish much in His name. He will give you the strength and the ability to be victorious.

You will reach the heights that Adonai has prepared for you, for the Lord your God has sent His messenger to establish His covenant with you. He has made a treaty and agreement with you. First He gave you a new birth and now He is forming and fashioning you into something new. Your life has been transformed and you delight and take pleasure in the will of God. It pleases you to move or bend in whatever way He directs.

As the Lord of Hosts has spoken, so has it been accomplished. What He commanded, promised, and intended has come to pass

11-2-07 Deuteronomy 10:15

Deuteronomy 10:15 (NAS)
"Yet on your fathers did the LORD set His affection to love them, and He chose their descendants after them, even you above all peoples, as it is this day.

Deuteronomy 10:15 (NLT)
Yet the LORD chose your ancestors as the objects of his love. And he chose you, their descendants, above every other nation, as is evident today.



Jehovah has set His love upon you; He has bound you to Himself. He longs for you, as He did your fathers. Because the Lord loves righteousness, He has made you righteous and His friend.

As He chose you, so He has also chosen your seed, your offspring, and descendants. They are the elect of God; for He has selected them for Himself. He has placed them above all other peoples and nations. They are His portion from this day and forever.

11-01-07 Psalms 62:2

Psalms 62:2 (NAS)
He only is my rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.

Psalms 62:2 (NLT)
He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will never be shaken.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
El-Shaddai is a wall of rock for you. He is a high cliff; when you stand on Him, you are secure. When your adversaries come against you, they run against that rocky cliff. The Lord besieges them and they are confined and cramped in the space He allows them. He has bound and enclosed them.

Adonai is your salvation and deliverance. He is your welfare, prosperity, and victory. You have liberty in Him. He has made your life propitious, full of His benefits and His favor. He always presents the best opportunities to you. Therefore, cry out "hosanna", beseeching and praising Him for His help.

The Lord your God is your refuge and stronghold. He is a high place where you are secure. When you retreat into Him, you cannot be captured. He has exalted you above your enemies. They cannot move or overthrow you. You will not totter or slip. Your foes cannot dislodge or shake you from you place of total security in Jehovah.

Now you are a captain and chief. You have abundance and more than enough. The Lord has made you greater than ten thousands around you.

10-29-07 Philippians 1:7

Philippians 1:7 (NAS)
For it is only right for me to feel this way about you all, because I have you in my heart, since both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of grace with me.
Philippians 1:7 (NLT)
It is right that I should feel as I do about all of you, for you have a very special place in my heart. We have shared together the blessings of God, both when I was in prison and when I was out, defending the truth and telling others the Good News.
It is always right for you to think about and to try to understand others, especially your brothers and sisters in the Lord. You should cherish them and strive to be in harmony. This helps you to become wholly conformed to the will of God. Thinking of others helps to keep you innocent, faultless, and guiltless. Hold the family of God in your heart, as companions and friends, for you have been joined to them through the blood of Yeshua, your Messiah.

You should always be ready to give a defense, making a full account for what you believe. You should be able to tell others the good news of the salvation that Jesus Christ's death and resurrection accomplished for man. When you speak of your firm and established faith, do not fear, even when others try to forbid and prohibit your speech. The Lord has sent you as His messenger to proclaim this good news.

Your brothers and sisters will stand with you, for they are partners and sharers in the gospel. Holding your faith in common, you have fellowship together. The Lord God has given you His grace and through His mercy, you are strengthened and increased in your faith. It is through God's grace that you will thrive and be well. You have received His favor and good will
