My Word For Today

Note: Unless otherwise indicated, all quotes are taken from Prophecies For the Children of David #5 (PDF)  Compiled by John Weaver

Faith comes from My Word. So comfort yourselves through reading My Word. The more you read, the more you will see that I will not let anything happen to you that is not a part of My perfect plan. Arm yourself with faith through reading My Word and believing My promises.

It’s My will that My children walk by faith and not by sight, because this is one of the ways I purge My fighting ranks of unbelievers and the halfhearted. I must continually purge My army of those who no longer wish to walk by faith but desire to walk by sight, which makes them too weak to be in the battle on the front lines.

Are you living by faith? Are you exercising the gifts of the Spirit that enable you to trust Me to supply your needs? Are you learning to walk on the water? Are you building up your faith muscles? The just shall live by faith. The just shall survive by faith!

(Those who fought) to be uncompromising in their faith and to live up to their convictions, will be in shape during the Endtime. The hard times in the future will only require a small increase of sacrifice beyond what they are accustomed to, and they’ll be able to make the grade with only a small step in stretching their faith. Whereas those who are not accustomed to stretching their faith and who take the easy way out will have a more difficult time. It will take a leap of faith on their part, because they haven’t been used to taking the small steps of faith along the way in their efforts to go for the gold in every area of their lives.

The best way to acquire faith is to live by faith–to be put into a situation where you must live and practice your faith. The best way to grow in My Word is to put it to the test—to prove My Word!

If I had wanted saints to complete My Family, to bring in the last harvest, to herald the Endtime‚ and to be here on Earth instead of you, then I would have saved that job for the angels. But I don’t want that. I don’t need that. I need humans who try and often fail, those who fight and sometimes lose, those who mean to do good but easily make mistakes, and those who go on by faith alone, yet who know what it means to doubt or to question why.

 If you will seek Me, if you will apply the “ask Me everything (PDF)” mode of operation in your lives, if you will live by faith and look to Me alone, I will lead you in each case and show you a plan to follow that is tailor-made for your unique situation.

(Dad speaking:) The Lord is spelling things out very clearly these days. So won’t you try to just follow the Word and obey it? Let the Letters be the leaders! It will work, and Jesus has ordained it to work, so if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, and obedience as a grain of sand, you will move the Devil’s mountains of defeat and lies, and you will become that shining sample of discipleship that I’m talking about.

Living by faith isn’t an actionless state of being. Rather, it means that you are willing to trust Me to bring about the right results as you set about doing what you can in the physical realm. Living by faith means that at the core of your being, you know that I am in control, and you know that you can count on Me to provide for you no matter what.

I wish to free My people to serve Me. I am calling My children out of the clutches of this world’s System and into My arms where they can live by faith and faith alone. I am calling them out of the clutches of the System, where they will be able to survive in the troublous times ahead! I am calling them out of the anti-God, anti-Christ System of today, to be My mouthpieces, My miracle workers of the End.

With things tightening up all around the world day by day–travel, visas, registration,etc.—you might wonder how I’m going to continue supplying for you as you live by faith.Don’t worry, because My plan for financial success and stability that I’ve shown you is going to play a major part in helping you as times get darker and darker.

And when the time comes that you have to go “underground” and can hardly continue with your follow-up ministries, or when your friends and contacts’ (government pension)  and resources start drying up, I will do the miracles for you. It will be like the story of the widow of Zarephath—when she made the decision to share, her jug of oil and her barrel of flour never ran out. I can and I will supply, even when it seems impossible.

I have given you this plan—the plan of trusting totally in Me, the plan of living by faith in Me and Me alone–for I know that this is the only way you will survive in these troublous times when men’s hearts become hardened. The dynamics of My supply work the opposite of what you perceive with natural and carnal thinking. Just as I supplied for the children of Israel as they wandered in the desert, so I am able to supply for you in today’s modern world, and in great abundance! 

Learning to trust Me for supply requires that you forsake your carnal attitudes and views, because the “God factor” is a thing of the spirit. It has to be moved along, oiled, and put into effect in the spirit–in obedience to the things I’ve said‚ backed by the Word,activated in conjunction with your spiritual weapons, and with the confidence that I honor and bless obedience.

MB: Jesus speaking in prophecy:  Obedience to My Word will make of you a great nation. And what did My Word for today tell you to do?

Stop for a minute and meditate on that question I just asked you. It’s a trick question, so let Me ask it again: What did My Word for today tell you to do? My Word for today is not necessarily the same as My Word today. My Word for today is the Word that I gave yesterday, which contains the instructions on what to do today. (I conduct these little exercises to help train your mind not just to read My Word, but to listen to what it is saying to you.)

After the April 4 event, I told you to land your jet fighters because it was time to refuel and refill those fuel tanks and ammo boxes. And that is exactly what you are doing—you obeyed My instructions, you landed your jet fighters, and you are tanking up. It’s your obedience to My Word that garners My blessing. It makes Me happy to see you obeying My Word today, and when I’m happy, I want to reward your faith with answers.

Yesterday’s Word had its place in yesterday’s world, but it also has its place in today’s world as a refueling and refilling station—and it’s working for you in that capacity right now. But that Word for today—yesterday’s Word—also outlined guidelines on how to fight today’s battles. Many of you, however, have not fully utilized those instructions. Instead, you are still sitting on the tarmac, going over how to fight yesterday’s battles. Those instructions worked well yesterday, but relying on them won’t help you fight today’s battles.

For example, yesterday’s instructions told today’s fighters to get daily—and even hourly—instructions straight from Me. How many of you are actually, truly applying those instructions on a daily or hourly basis, if need be? Are you truly living those Words? Because if you are, then you would be practicing them and applying them today.

To repeat what has been said many times in many different ways: if those who claimed to be living the Bible truly were living it, then they would have embraced the Words of David, the Endtime prophet. And if those who claimed to be living the Words of David were truly living them, then they would have embraced the Words of Maria. And if they truly lived the Words of Maria, then they would be embracing the New Wine for today and would be ready for what’s just up ahead.

Now, what’s ironic about today’s scenario is that the New Wine for today can only be poured into conduits that are obedient to that Word for today. And that Word for today was—and still is—telling you that you are the chosen prophets for this day. So if you truly are the chosen prophets for this day, then the New Wine should be coming through you. And if it isn’t, then you are not living the Word for today—or today’s Word—which means you will not live tomorrow’s Word, even if you say or think you are.

Let Me quote something I said to you in yesterday’s class (Audio).

“Just because you’ve been given so much truth, even if you read and study it, does not guarantee your becoming the instruments in My hand that will defeat the Evil One in the Last Days. It’s not enough to drink deeply of the fountain of David; that’s only half of the equation. You must also seal off the fountain of the Enemy in your life; you must stop up his entrance and forbid him leave to destroy, steal, tear down or erase that which you’re building.”

Prophecy continues: Okay, no more Word games—this is My question to you: what is the enemy trying to destroy in your life?

I am, right now, testing each one of you in the weak areas of your life. The enemy, being the coward he is, attacks the weakest link in your life—that is what he is trying to destroy. So what is it in your life? What is he trying to steal, tear down, and erase in your life in order to halt your future as My Endtime prophets? It is this exact link that I am allowing him to test, in the hope that you will do all you can to strengthen that weakness.

Time has moved on. The sandglass (April 4?) has been turned. The Endtime I spoke of in “that Word for today” is happening now. I have told you in today’s New Wine that you are to live and breathe the Seven Thunders. If you insist on living in the past, then you won’t make the grade today. If you are not living the Seven Thunders—that Word that I gave yesterday for today—then you will be unable to fight the battle that is just around the corner—no, that is already here now. (End)

I need you to be as granite rocks, those who stand firm on My Word, on My promises, who use the keys to the Kingdom I have put in your hands, who exercise the power to rise above that I have given you. I call you to put aside foolishness; to stand on My Word instead of your feelings; to walk by faith and not by sight; to put aside pride and to put on My divine nature.

(The Enemy) attacks your spirit and tries to weaken you to the point that you’ll putdown your weapons of war and even forsake your crown of service–the responsibility that I’ve given you, along with the gifts and anointing to do it. He wants to cause you to doubt My love, My Word, and My wisdom. It’s his goal to pull you down, to destroy your faith in Me and My Word through this slow weakening of your spirit.

Faith is not something you feel; it’s something you do–an action which gets results. Stretch your faith, exercise it, and you will not be disappointed.

I’m so proud of you! There are many times you’ve been tested and you’ve stuck–you’ve looked to Me and totally yielded yourself to Me. You’ve persevered and you’ve held on to My hand by pure faith.

As you step out by faith to be and do all that I have called you to, even when it looks like you are stepping out into thin air, I will cause the ground to rise up to meet you.

Let Me renew your convictions each day through My Word, and through My voice of personal prophecy. It’s the Word that gives you faith, and faith is the foundation of conviction, and the fruit of strong conviction is obedience.

When people begin to take My Words more seriously, they will strive to obey them. This increased fear of Me will bring about the atmosphere that is necessary if you are to be My miracle workers of the End‚ because you will have more faith, you will manifest more obedience, and you will receive more of My power and protection and blessings. It’s a chain reaction.

I anoint you with the oil of My Spirit. I am pouring out this anointing today in great measure to all who ask for it, to all who come up and commit themselves, as weak as they might feel, to the calling of obedience. This anointing will give you the wherewithal to fulfill your calling. It will give you determination when you wouldn’t naturally have it. It will give you grace when the sacrifices are great. It will give you peace and faith to obey even when it doesn’t look logical. It will give you strength when the going gets tough. This anointing of obedience is yours, My darlings. Of course, you will have to use your anointing, walk in your anointing, claim your anointing, and then proceed to do what I call you to, regardless of how you feel. That is when you will see this anointing activated.

You need this anointing for what lies ahead of you in the coming months. You need it in order to follow Me into the era where I am calling you, My Endtime Family—the era of obedience. It is this obedience that will give you the great faith that you are now lacking—the faith to pull down the wonderful miracles I have promised, the faith to use the keys in the way they were really meant to be used, for those great and impossible situations where something supernatural is needed. It is this era of obedience that will bring the mighty manifestations of My power. In obedience to Me there is great faith, and great faith pulls down the things of the spirit.

In certain times and situations in past years there was a high level of obedience, but it was generally maintained out of fear of man, or man pleasing, or some other outside pressure or force. But in cleansing and restructuring the Family, those who remain have found a new level of obedience out of love, out of fear of Me, out of a healthy respect for My Words, and a sense of urgency to get the job done. These motives bring on a high level of obedience to Me and to My Words, which in turn generate great faith among the remnant of the children of David to believe and use those gifts I have put in your hands, this is how the Family’s destiny is to be fulfilled.

Life in the world is a life built on what you can see with your eyes and understand with your mind. Life for Me is built on that which you cannot see but must believe, that which you cannot understand but must accept. It’s a way of life so contrary, so different from Life in the world, it’s like the difference between the positive and negative print of a photo.

You and I often see things so differently. You look at it as blessed to have a more carefree or obviously successful life with fewer problems, difficulties or afflictions. I look at it as being better to have a full life–one that is rich in faith, depth of spirit, understanding, sacrificial love and concern for others, an intimate relationship with Me, inner spiritual strength, and a tender heart. And often these treasures of spirit, these priceless qualities, don’t come without trials, suffering, or surviving great difficulties.

Most of the time, serving Me is a life of simple faith, believing without seeing, believing without feeling, following My Word out of obedience, without the rush or the passion to go along with it. It’s often a greater test of your faith when you follow Me step by step without the help of “feeling it.” This is not a sign of weakness, and often it makes you stronger because you know it’s a choice you’ve made without any help. When you dedicate your life to Me and stick it out in the Family, I will always bless you for that, and if you do it on blind faith alone without the highs and feeling the driving passion to encourage you to continue on, I often bless you even more in other ways‚ because it is a greater test.

My Word makes it very clear that I don’t want you to go by feelings. I want you to walk by faith, not by sight, so a lack of feelings and emotions should not bother you. It’s faith that pleases Me. If you’ll do a little study on this, you’ll find My Word never points you to put trust in your feelings, but it frequently talks about faith, trust, and belief. I want you to take things by faith. I want your trust and your yieldedness, and when you obey the things I tell you to do through blind obedience, this is the kind of faith and trust that pleases Me most.

 

You might think that you’re so messed up that you can’t be sure that what you hear is My voice and the right thing, but that’s exactly the time when I’ll come through for you and show you things that you never knew before. It takes faith. I know you don’t feel you have the faith to receive prophecies (PDF), but remember that faith is a gift of My Spirit. You don’t have to work up the faith, you just have to open your channel and give whatever you receive.

It’s a step of faith, but it’s not too big or too hard for you to do; otherwise I wouldn’t ask it of you. I know you think that’s easy for Me to say, when you feel like you sit there and try to get something in prophecy, but nothing comes. Or if you get something you’re not sure it’s right, or what’s going to come next. These are all natural thoughts of your carnal mind.

Plus the Enemy is right there trying to discourage you from getting anything, from getting even one word in prophecy. The Enemy hates prophecy. That’s the biggest reason people have a battle about receiving prophecy, doubting that what they hear is really My voice—because the Enemy fights it.

From Me flow rivers of living seeds, and those that suck shall receive. I wish to give these seeds to every one of My children. He that comes unto Me and is open shall not go away empty, for I am potent! I give to everyone that asks and I turn not away. You must just have faith to believe, faith to receive, faith to speak My seeds! For if you ask for Words, I will not give you stones.
