Today’s Living Word – Obey Christ

3–5 minutes

Christ Jesus speaks prophecy to those who will change: 

I speak to those who will change. You have many opportunities each day to turn to me, your Lord and Christ, and ask for direction. Sometimes you do – sometimes not. What would your success rate be if you checked in every time? And what if you always heeded my leading? I am always listening and always ready to help you. 

Yes, it will be difficult to maneuver through all the coming challenges, but you have my help and I know the way through the wilderness. You will travel through unharmed and be delivered unto the higher plane where only joy and love abide. This is a challenge to each of you. When I speak a thing in your ear, as God has spoken it to me, I deliver it accurately. Will you hear and obey? Will you reap the blessings and strive to accomplish each task for your good today and eternally? 

What would a loving God say to his children? Would He lead you astray? No! He would do all He can to get you into a position of power and good supply before disaster strikes, and He is doing that now. He has warned of the coming storms and said that the winds and rains are coming, yet many are slow to prepare. Ask of me your Christ, and I will show you what to do where you live, to prepare.  

This is not a game of wait and see, but a challenge to obey – right now! The blessings of God come to the faithful who are obedient. Try me out. Do the first thing and I will give you a second. Step by step, we will walk through these storms together. Do not quit, do not faint, nor grow weary. Hold fast to the hope and the glory to come, and press into the labor for a short time. The day of rejoicing is near my brethren- oh so near. 

Today’s Written Word

1 Corinthians 3:10-14  According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 

Heed, blepōto Strong’s G991; turn the thoughts or direct the mind to a thing, to consider, contemplate, look to; absolutely take heed 

Matthew  10:27  What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. 

Psalm 18:44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.

Deuteronomy 13:12 Call them all together—men, women, children, and the foreigners living in your towns—so they may hear this Book of Instruction and learn to fear the LORD your God and carefully obey all the terms of these instructions.

A Word of Encouragement

Our Lord is calling out to us to hear his voice and obey. Some hear, and some do not. Some obey what we hear, and some do not. This is a time to obey fully and quickly, and to reap the blessings, to be well prepared and to travel through our near future unharmed. Sign me up for well supplied and safe.

An Action Item

Christ also spoke of following him through the wilderness. He offers to lead us and to victory. We listen and hear and obey each step. Then he will give us a second step. Having always been a “think it through until the last step before starting” kind of person, this is a challenge for me. I am resolved to obey one step at a time and build my trust and obedience. Let’s do it together. Send us some of your victories in Christ and we’ll celebrate with you!
