Can a man stop everything he is doing and render himself to me? Can a man stop his busyness and give himself to me? What stops you from giving your whole self to me? What stands in the way of becoming holy and united with me? Why must you run away instead of clinging to me? My purchase at the cross did everything for you, yet you treat it as nothing at all. The redemption of man was made possible by me. Your case was taken into the courts and cleansed by me. You are no longer an outcast, but family made possible by my blood. Remember my sacrifice daily as it was all made possible for you.
The redemption of man was made possible by me. No one comes to the Father except by me. You have placed your life into my hands, so do not throw this away so lightly. Keep in step with me and come spend time with me daily. Your daily filling depends on me. Let me overflow your cup with all that I am thinking. Let me help you master everything beautifully. In your coming to me, I will help you do everything with excellence and beauty. My desire for you is to excel in every way and leave nothing undone.
Stay rooted deeply in me. Do not stray and never give me the time of day. Stay closer to me now more than ever, for your enemy looks for ways to devour you, to destroy you, and beat you to the ground. He wants nothing more than to destroy this creation of mine. Wait for me and watch the work I will be displaying before your very eyes. Do not give an inch to sin and allow it to cloud your thinking. I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, and nothing can compete with me.
I am setting a new pace for you. I am quickening your pace as things progress. Do not set your mind on the things that are less, but set your heart and mind on me. A path is being cut for you to see clearly what lies before you. Do not cower in fear when I bring these things to you. I will make things clear for you to move swiftly with me. Nothing will be too hard for you and you will move forward effortlessly. No worries or fears will accompany you as you move into this place with me. An unprecedented path has been made possible for you and I will direct your feet to say with me.
Ask me and you will receive all that you need. Seek me and you will find me immediately. Come and knock on this door and you will receive everything that you could possibly need. All of your concerns will be addressed and all of your needs will be met by me. There will be no need to worry or panic about anything, for I will be all that you need. Keep coming to me and seeking me out for everything you need and watch and see the glory of the LORD being poured out for you.
Psalm 46:10 The Voice
10 “Be still, be calm, see, and understand I am the True God.
I am honored among all the nations.
I am honored over all the earth.”
1 Peter 1:17-21 The Passion Translation
17Since you call on him as your heavenly Father, the impartial Judge who judges according to each one’s works, live each day with holy awe and reverence throughout your time on earth. 18For you know that your lives were ransomed once and for all from the empty and futile way of life handed down from generation to generation. It was not a ransom payment of silver and gold, which eventually perishes, 19but the precious blood of Christ—who like a spotless, unblemished lamb was sacrificed for us. 20This was part of God’s plan, for he was chosen and destined for this before the foundation of the earth was laid, but he has been made manifest in these last days for you. 21It is through him that you now believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, so that you would fasten your faith and hope in God alone.
John 14:6 The Passion Translation
6Jesus explained, “I am the Way, I am the Truth, and I am the Life. No one comes next to the Father except through union with me. To know me is to know my Father too.
2 Corinthians 8:8-9 The Voice
8 I am not going to command you, but I am going to offer you the chance to prove your love genuine in the same way others have done. 9 You know the grace that has come to us through our Lord Jesus the Anointed. He set aside His infinite riches and was born into the lowest circumstance so that you may gain great riches through His humble poverty.
Matthew 7:7-11 The Voice
7 Just ask and it will be given to you; seek after it and you will find. Continue to knock and the door will be opened for you. 8 All who ask receive. Those who seek, find what they seek. And he who knocks, will have the door opened. 9 Think of it this way: if your son asked you for bread, would you give him a stone? Of course not—you would give him a loaf of bread. 10 If your son asked for a fish, would you give him a snake? No, to be sure, you would give him a fish—the best fish you could find. 11 So if you, who are sinful, know how to give your children good gifts, how much more so does your Father in heaven, who is perfect, know how to give great gifts to His children!
Today it is Matthew 7:7-8. He has given the keys to The Kingdom to us. So I was asking if I have a key, do I still need to knock? He showed me maybe the “key” is what is needed to solve something?
