The Word for Today: Day 1 of your new life
2 Samuel 7:18
“Then David went in, sat before Yahweh and said, “Who am I, Yahweh The Creator; and what is my family, that has caused you to bring me this far?”
Consider a candle; it is comprised of two elements; an outside and an inside. Inside of the candle is a life waiting to happen that needs a spark to ignite it (John 20:22). It is nothing without a “spark”. Once the candle is ready, the spark comes upon it and now it gives off light and warmth (Acts 1:4-8, Acts 1:14). As the “fire” burns away the outer covering, the inner part of it gives off heat and light. The outer part must be burned away in order that the inner part is brought to life (1 Peter 4:12). One would think that the candle is nearing the end of its usefulness but on the contrary. After the candle is “gone”, it leaves a fragrance that lingers. The candle is not gone but transformed. (Acts 2:1-4, Romans 12:2)

About the Book
The goal for this “book” is for others like myself who developed and put up “walls” that block fully experiencing the power of Yahweh’s love during their “journey”. It is my hope that you will read, study and meditate upon both the words and scriptures daily in order that you will develop a deeper walk with Him by identifying and removing your “walls”. By doing so you will acquire the benefit of spiritual freedom and grow stronger as you continue on your “journey”. Join me by taking one daily step in a new “walk” and discover the “escape” to freedom from your hidden “issues”.
