From the Pen of Michael Carr
BE THE LIGHT
The Spirit of the Lord says, everyone is searching for gifts. The greatest gift is Myself. Turn to Me and find the gift I have already given you, and use them to build My Kingdom and give away My presence and nature to those around you.
I don’t give gifts to be thrown away. I do not pick what I give you out of the garbage heap. You are priceless and treasured and I pour out Myself to you. I have made you ready for the gift that I have given you. Do you treasure the gift like I treasure you?
Go be the light that I made you to be, a light in the darkness. Turn away from self and see who I Am. Fall deeper in love with Me.
Truly share Me and make Me known so I can make Myself great among you. I want to use you to build My Kingdom in the dark places. There is a special grace for My outpouring right now.

WALK
You are not alone.
That is why I walk with you in the barren emptiness of your desert.
That is why I am your shelter in the storm.
That is why I am the light in your darkness.
That is why I am the steps ahead of you and the steps behind you.
I alone am the one who makes a way when there is no way.
I stand with you at your sickbed; I never grow weary of it.
I am the one who brings you health, healing and encouragement.
I am the one who leads you into places of beauty and refreshment.
I also work at your pace to show My steadfastness and faithful love.
It does not matter the circumstance; I love to walk with my beloved.
At the appointed time you will walk with Me in victory and triumph because of the inheritance I will give to you.
You are not alone.
I walk, I walk with you out of my devotion for you.
(Michael Carr, 2018)
HEARTBEAT
Your heartbeat comes right from the heartbeat of Father God.
Your heartbeat is a blueprint of the gifts and eternal masterpiece I have created within you.
Your heartbeat has the deepest longing to be like My Son Jesus Christ.
Your heartbeat shines My light in the deepest darkness.
Your heartbeat sings a symphony of joy, gladness and victory about you and Me.
Your heartbeat plays and pounds a continual beat of courage, inspiration and greatness.
There will never be another heartbeat like yours. It has a unique purpose and journey.
Your heartbeat is My song about My complete devotion and unfailing love to you.
Your heartbeat reveals My secrets about you and reveals mysteries about who I am.
Your heartbeat declares that you are never alone, for I am deeply wrapped up inside you
Your heartbeat declares over and over again that I am here because I love you tirelessly and endlessly.
Your heartbeat contains chapter after chapter about the record book of love.
In so much as you treat every heartbeat, you also treat the heart of God.
When you are tired and feel lost, stop and listen; for this is what your heartbeat sings whenever you take a pause, remember and reflect about who you are.

MULTIPLY
I am the God of multiplication.
I am not a god of poverty and lack; I multiply your resources.
I multiply the stars in the sky.
I multiply the galaxies.
I multiply the grains of sand on the beach and the waves of the sea.
I multiply My miracles around the world every day.
I find great delight in the multiple acts of My surprises to My children.
I multiply your love for Me by the work of My Spirit.
I multiply love in this world through the hearts and acts of My servants.
My Word is multiplied through My servants to defeat evil.
When I add and divide, I also multiply.
I never grow tired of multiplying My goodness and grace to a needy world.
I multiply your prayers to produce great and powerful effects and blessings.
I continuously multiply My extravagant mercy, grace and love because it is My nature.
I wish to multiply many good things in your life.
Won’t you come and give yourself to Me so that I can endlessly multiply My steadfast and unfailing love to you throughout eternity?

OPEN ARMS
Come, listen and respond to My calls, whispers and cries of invitation and acceptance of who you are.
Come and dance with Me in the waterfalls of sweet forgiveness, where your chains will fall off and you will be free.
Come and swim in the rivers of justice where evil and sin are swept away.
Come and rest in the pools of mercy where your unworthiness, sin and shame are cleansed from your weary souls and bodies.
Come and dwell with Me and know the quiet ways of peace in the roar of chaos and confusion.
Come and deeply experience My joy that we will be one together one day as the Trinity walking in unity are One.
Come journey with Me where you will experience flashes of joy, revelation and knowledge to refresh and strengthen you.
Come into My open arms that are stretched wide to include the broken, the crushed, the weary, the misunderstood and forgotten.
Come and ask Me and I will open My arms to you again and again.
Yes, come and run to Me as My open arms never grow tired of waiting for you.

SIMPLE TRUST
The Lord says, “I give you the key of simple trust in Me to unlock the confusion and deceit in the world that you live in. Simple trust is the key that you and I will use to unlock many difficult situations that you now face.
Simple trust will be the path you walk. Simple trust will be the song that you sing, and I will teach you to sing, ‘Jesus Loves Me this I know for the Bible tells me so.‘
Simple trust will be the thought you will carry in your heart and in your soul. Simple trust will be the face you present to a mocking and unbelieving world. Simple trust is My strategy to confound others and express My love to others who have empty minds and empty hearts.
Simple trust is My badge of courage, My medal of honor, and My sign of favor. Those who receive and use the gift of simple trust will find victory and delight and experience My pleasure,”

I WILL NOT FORSAKE YOU
I will not
I will not forsake you in your storm of confusion
I will not forsake you in your avalanche of tears
I will not forsake you in your canyon of emptiness
I will not forsake you when your love grows dim or when your sin rises again
I will not forsake you in your cries of pain or in your deepest fears
I will not leave you
I will not go away even in the thunder of false accusations and passionate anger
For I knew all of this before when I chose you and adopted you to be mine
I was with you before your beginning and past your end
Forever and completely I will pour out my unfailing love to you
Remember it is only I that can rescue you from the burning fire or the collapsing foundation
Despite all of this, I will make you beautiful, mighty and victorious
Come behold Me my beloved bride
I am your way home

NOTHING
Out of the shadows you can see them
Drinking bottles of nothing
Shooting nothing into themselves
Swallowing pill after pill of nothing
Smoking and snorting nothing again and again
Nothing was sweet at first
Nothing made them clever and strong
But nothing made them fools
With eyes that only saw themselves
They worshipped nothing
Nothing came
They lied for nothing
And cheated and stole for it
They gave everything to nothing
They stuffed themselves with nothing
Until nothing was left
Their hearts ached for nothing
Until they only loved nothing
They plotted and schemed and traveled
Got nothing and got nowhere
The orphans of nothing lie smashed like broken toys
Used and abused without a home
All the friends of nothing are left all alone
Yes nothing sang a sweet song of escape
But death is what nothing brings
What will you do when nothing calls for you
For nothing and nothing
Gives you nothing
(Michael Carr, July 27, 1999)
SYMPHONY OF JUSTICE
I have heard the cries of My people and seen the deep longings of their heart. My heart bursts forth with a symphony of justice, a great song of longing and recompense for My people. I cannot ignore the word that I have spoken. I will not ignore the promises established in My Word. (Read More)
THIS IS WHO I AM:
I’m A soldier in Christ’s Army.
I’m born again, spirit-filled
child of the living God.
The devil cannot stop me.
Hell cannot defeat me.
The grave cannot contain me.
And the enemy will not silence me.
My life was paid for with the blood
of Jesus which makes me valuable.
I’m Royal, I’m eternal, I’m redeemed.
I may fall down but I won’t quit.
I may be weak but He is strong.
The weapons may form but they won’t prosper.
I am a warrior.
I am a victor.
I am a child of God.
