From the Voice of Jesus · Gift of the Holy Spirit
Child of the Most High, standing at your post, I walked among soldiers and tax collectors and the weary. I still walk with you.
When you face rumor mill, do not improvise your soul. Return to Me.
When bitterness knocks, do not open the door and give it a billet in your heart. Bring it to Me, and I will deal with the debt.
Do not measure your worth by the last evaluation, the last mistake, or the last victory. Measure it by the cross, where I named you Mine.
This is VOL-23 training for your soul: Govern the tongue as a weapon that either builds or burns. I speak it not as theory, but as living command. Let the Holy Spirit's golden light search you, heal you, and send you.
Take hold of this Scripture as orders: "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." (Matthew 5:14-16, KJV). Hide it in your heart until it rises unbidden under pressure.
