Isaiah 55:8-9
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."
"That night the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream, and God said, “What do you want? Ask, and I will give it to you!”
(1 Kings 3:5 NLT)
Ask for the Holy Spirit. Again ask for the Holy Spirit!
"Blessed the men whose strength you are! They go from strength to strength." (Psalm 84: 5, 7)
"I promise to be your strength in proportion to the trust you place on me." - Jesus
Psalm 126: 1-2
"When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,
we were like those who dream.
Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations,
“The Lord has done great things for them.”
Those who sow in tears shall reap rejoicing.

Jeremiah 2:12-13
"Be appalled, O heavens, at this; be shocked, be utterly desolate, declares the Lord, for my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me,
the fountain of living waters,
and hewed out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns that can hold no water."
Beware of the temptations to wealth and comfort.
Jeremiah 1:5-6
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
and before you were born I consecrated you;
I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
Then Jeremiah said, “Ah, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth.”
Say not: I am too young or I am too old. Or too poor or too rich. Or too sick or too healthy. Mission comes with power.
John 20:15
"Jesus said to Mary Magdalene , “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?”
"Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”

Matthew 11:25
"At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children."
What does God reveal to the little ones? The mystery of the death of Jesus Christ.

Matthew 10:38
"And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me."
Where is your cross? Family, Finances, Job, Health, Property, Worrying about the Future? Rejection of the cross is rejection of Jesus Christ.
Matthew 13:23
"As for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty.”
The seed that falls on good ground will yield a fruitful harvest. (Luke 8:8)
