Your words were found, and I ate them, And Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart; For I am called by Your name, O LORD God of hosts.  Jeremiah 15:16

Stay alert to find the words of the Lord and fulfill your mission with dedication and perfection; most assuredly He will provide that which is necessary for this task. His eyes are always attentive towards the righteous; those who assume their position in Christ and soon go to the fields ready to answer their calling. God knows what they need, and through His Word, He enables them with faith, power and His marvelous grace. 

          The revelations of the Lord feed our spirit and strengthen us in battles. Jesus said that man shall not live by bread alone, which is necessary to the body, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God (Matthew 4:4). He who finds it but does not feed from it right away has no way of taking hold of the blessings, nor does he have the authority to rebuke the enemy and discern his evil action. 

The pleasure and happiness are signs that the inspiration came from the Lord; after all, everything that comes from Him is smooth, light and is tremendously good to our soul. A simple revelation has power to set free someone who is oppressed by bad thoughts, dismay, anguish, sadness and despair. When a person is visited by the Most High, she soon realizes that her suffering was like a nightmare that has ended. 

The words send by the Lord come to straighten our way of proceeding and deliver victory over temptations. We need to meditate on what He said, and immediately, His power works in our life. According to the Bible, they are like the morning, which comes to put an end to the weeping of the night and brings joy. (Psalm 30:5b). Stay alert when you ask God to show you something through the Scriptures. Do not put away one single revelation, as small as it might be. 

Do not compare spiritual matters with natural ones, even though what was told you seems powerless to undo your anguish. Do not declare what you think about this, but just praise God. The sinners from Sodom, which tried to abuse the angels of the Lord, did not know of the possibility of being destroyed with a simple snap of the fingers. At that time, the Lords agents blinded them, and on the other day, sent the consuming fire over that entire city (Genesis 18:20 – 19:24). 

When He saved us and turned us into His people, the Almighty allowed us to be called by His Name. This is very powerful, and whoever has good judgment must flee from deception. If a person who is saved plays with sin, he or she will give in to temptation and will be excluded from salvation, going back to being a slave of the devil. Remember: the evil one knows how to tempt, and if you are not alert, he will make you feel different, thinking that you can transgress without being condemned.  

If we allow ourselves to be conducted by error, we will go back to serving the devil, and our loss will be complete. If you have already fallen, confess your sin and accept divine forgiveness. Otherwise, stand firm; for you were made king for the Lord. 

In Christ, with love,
