No Shame

Mar27

Tender is My heart toward those who have been shamed–My child it should not be so. You are a pearl of great price. The reason I gave My life. No greater gift could I offer you.

I take your pain

I’ve lived your shame

Please let Me heal your heart and give you a fresh new start. I cannot undo what has been done, but I can heal the wounds and give you new life for the old.

I can remove bitterness and, in exchange, bring forgiveness.

Trust Me

Pour out your heart before Me and then listen while I speak words of tenderness–words of love to heal. If you will cease to blame, I will take the shame. And as you learn to forgive, I will give you favor and honor and fill you with gladness.

But, first My love, we must remove you from the madness…

Come away from it and embrace new life; receive My love and put an end to the strife! Shame no longer has power over you…

When you know who you are

And

Him who loves you!

I AM HE

“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good tidings to the afflicted; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn; to grant to those who mourn in Zion–to give them a garland instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the mantle of praise instead of a faint spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he may be glorified.” Isaiah 61:1-3

“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Romans 8:1

“But thou, O Lord, art a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.” Psalms 3:3

“The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. And those who know thy name put their trust in thee, for thou, O Lord, hast not forsaken those who seek thee.” Psalms 9:9-10

” Instead of your shame you shall have a double portion, instead of dishonor you shall rejoice in your lot; therefore in your land you shall possess a double portion; yours shall be everlasting joy. For I the Lord love justice. I hate robbery and wrong; I will faithfully give them their recompense, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them. Their descendants shall be known among the nations, and their offspring in the midst of the peoples; all who see them shall acknowledge them, that they are a people whom the Lord has blessed. ” Isaiah 61:7

Receive The Kingdom

Mar24

Lack is not a good thing. It is not something I would cause in your life to teach you a lesson. Many of you have been told this from good-meaning people trying to console, but it is simply not true. I would never contradict My Word to teach you a lesson. This is a lie from your adversary to try to trick you into embracing the counterfeit.

Lack is the absolute opposite of My Blessing, that I give to you freely–generously. It is My desire that you always, under all circumstances, have every need met, but so much more than that–

I want to fulfill your every desire and hope.

I want to embrace you with so much love that you never want for any good thing.

Have I made Myself clear?

Don’t ever believe the contrary again. It is simply not true. Children, it is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom–

Receive it!

“O fear the Lord you his saints, for those who fear him have no want! The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.” Psalms 34:9-10

“–therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat, nor about your body, what you shall put on. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. Consider the ravens; they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds! And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his span of life? If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest?” Luke 12:22-26

“Consider the lilies, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass which is alive in the field today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O men of little faith? And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be of anxious mind. For all the nations of the world seek these things, and your Father knows that you need them.” Luke 12:27-30

“Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things shall be yours as well. Fear not little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” Luke 12:31-32

“The blessing of the Lord makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.” Proverbs 10:22

“I (wisdom) love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me. Riches and honor are with me, enduring wealth and prosperity. My fruit is better than gold, even fine gold, and my yield than choice silver. I walk in the way of righteousness, in the paths of justice, endowing with wealth those who love me, and filling their treasuries.” Proverbs 8:17-21

 

Never Look Back

Mar22

Narrow  is the way that leads to life and few there be that find it. It is indeed a narrow path, but it is hard packed and well-trodden. For all who walk the narrow way, follow in the same footsteps, they follow their Lord.

Jesus Christ, the gate whereby you enter–there is no other way to enter into life everlasting, but by the Blood of Jesus Christ. Once entered by the Blood, you must follow in His footsteps; for He alone knoweth the way to the Father. I AM the way, the truth and the life, no man cometh to the Father, but by Me.

You are in good company on that lonely path. Those who have gone before were men and women of strong faith and utmost integrity. They weren’t afraid to be different and were not ashamed to declare allegiance to their Lord, King Jesus. Who once bore the shame of the world, that you might become righteous.

Those who have gone before you, found the narrow way and are seated with Him in heavenly places, at the right hand of the Father.

Ruling and reigning

With Him

Whose footsteps they tracked

Never to look back

Never look back!

“Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy, that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few.” Matthew 7:13-14

“But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with him, and made us sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved, through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God, not because of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:4-10

“I am the door; if any one enters by me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.” John 10:9

“Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me.” John 14:5-6

“–whoever keeps his word, in him truly love for God is perfected. By this we may be sure that we are in him; he who says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way, in which he walked.” IJohn 2:5-6

“Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:1-2

“Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the Lord! Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, who seek him with their whole heart, who also do no wrong, but walk in his ways!” Psalms 119:1-3

 

Absolute Trust

Mar19

Absolute trust is a requirement for moving forward in faith..

  • Trust that My Word is true.
  • Trust that I love you
  • Trust that you are not alone

Trust

It was the first thing that was broken in the Garden of Eden, and again witnessed when Moses threw the tablets down. He trusted his people…

Trust was broken.

It took faith for Moses to descend that mountain again; fresh commandments in hand–trust in the heart.

So I was broken, in exchange, the old command for new; this born out of loves gift to you–the perfect sacrifice.

I laid my flesh body down…

to arise again

Perfection complete, not even the grave could defeat–

Trust

Knowing that I will watch over My Word to perform it–as I have already proved to do, and…

just as I rose again, I will come again…

but this time–

I come for you!

“For the son of man is to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay every man for what he has done” Matthew 16:27

“Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the Lord God is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.” Isaiah 12:2

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV

“Thou dost keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trusts in thee. Trust in the Lord for ever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.” Isaiah 26:3-4

“–For I am watching over my word to perform it.” Jeremiah 1:12b

“And behold, I am coming soon.” Revelation 22:7

 

Against All Odds

Mar14

Against all odds you became saved, for it is not in your nature to seek good and shun evil. My children were created pure and holy…

then came sin.

Sin separated man from the Father and created a new nature and environment for his life…

  • The garden was no longer perfect
  • Trust was broken
  • Weeds entered in
  • Tears were shed

But I had a plan from the very beginning; to reinstate man into My Grace, I asked My Son to take your place.

Against all odds

God became a man. Born of a natural woman to sever the divide…

Mary agreed

Jesus became

But yet, there was more to come…

For you were born into the natural world, where sin still reigned–for without a Savior, there is no hope. A choice has to be made for man to be under the rule of God and not man. To have dominion and to rule and reign, one must choose the great exchange.

Your old life for one that is completely FREE–never again held to sin’s lying shame. Your life renewed–never to die again. Your spirit for ever shall live, and ever with Me you’ll remain. Where there is no more sorrow, sadness or pain–a perfect garden, no weeds–all gain.

Your answer then, was it against all odds that you said yes?

  • Yes to Jesus?
  • Yes to Love?
  • Yes to Life?

Yes, against all odds–welcome home son–welcome home daughter…

Welcome home!

Have you invited your friends? There is always room for more…

Against all odds

“Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.” Genesis 3:23

“If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is couching at the door; its desire is for you, but you must master it.” Genesis 4:7

“Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people, and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David, as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old, that we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us; to perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant, the oath which he swore to our father Abraham, to grant us that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before him all the days of our life.” Luke 1:68-75

“for to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” Luke 2:11

“In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.” John 1:4-5

“And from his fullness have we all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God; the only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has made him known.” John 1:16-18

“Jesus answered him, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God.'” John. 3:3

“And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. He who believes in him is not condemned; he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does what is true comes to the light, that it may be clearly seen that his deeds have been wrought in God.” John. 3:14-21

“But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for such the Father seeks to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth. The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming, he who is called Christ; when he comes, he will show us all things.” Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am he.”” John 4:23-26

 

My Glory

Mar11

The anointing seals those who are Mine and, to the world, you shine!

Gloriously!

For My glory shall be seen over all the earth and My people will be radiant. But My glory is so much more than shine for those who love Me. It is the force that breaks the yoke–the anointing. It is lavished upon all who commune with Me.

  • Time spent together
  • Studying My Word
  • Applying My Word

Obliterates the residue of sin in your life–the old nature; that of the past that clings; old habits that mar and hinder…

Sin no longer has dominion over you–Your past has passed!

Commune with Me and shine in My glory. For if My people, would wear My anointing, the whole world would be aglow

and

All the world would see–

MY GLORY

“The true light that enlightens every man was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world knew him not. He came to his own home, and his own people received him not. But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God; who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father.” Jn. 1:9-14

“Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, ‘I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life'” Jn. 8:12

“Surely his salvation is at hand for those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.” Ps. 85:9

 

The Victors’ Cry

Mar9

Hush

A word that has been used to silence others.

A quiet that has fallen upon the sons of men

A stillness that must be disturbed—

For there is work to be done! My Word must reach the nations, to the farthest corners of the earth! For I have children and potential children all over the world; prevailing on the earth–just as My Word prevails.

For if My people do not praise Me, even the stones will cry out, My Word declares; so it is with My Word…

There is a cry

There is a beseeching that will spread across the land. It is a grassroots affect of My Word that will travel from mouth to mouth, house to house, and pulpit to pulpit.

Even the least and the unlearned will hear the Voice—

It will be as if the stones cry out, and it will not return void. My Word will accomplish that for which I send it. My Word will bring salvation and arrive with healing in its wings. Many shall know the truth and the truth shall make them FREE.

The hush must be replaced with a CRY for Victory is nigh!

“As he was now drawing near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen, saying, “Blessed be the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” And some of the Pharisees in the multitude said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.”” Lu. 19:37-40

“But for you who fear my name the sun of righteousness shall rise, with healing in its wings. You shall go forth leaping like calves from the stall. And you shall tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet, on the day when I act, says the Lord of hosts.” Mal. 4:2-3

“And you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” Jn. 8:32

“And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every infirmity.” Mt. 9:35

“And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, as a testimony to all nations; and then the end will come.” Mt. 24:14

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” Mk. 16:15-18 KJV

“For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. O that today you would hearken to his voice!” Ps. 95:7

 

Seize the Day!

Mar4

Blessed assurance comes from knowing the will of the Father. He looks down from Heaven upon the sons of men and loves them all, but only those who are obedient to His Word–His living Son, will eat the good of the land.

The kingdom of Heaven is soon to be revealed in all its splendor here in the Earth. All ambiguity will cease when that which is perfect is revealed. Do not wait for that day to come upon you–run to it–chase after it–become it.

You have all that tools you need in My Word to appropriate it in your life. You are without excuse o man, for the living God lives in you–appropriate it now!

“O Lord, who shall sojourn in thy tent? Who shall dwell on thy holy hill? He who walks blamelessly, and does what is right, and speaks truth from his heart; who does not slander with his tongue, and does no evil to his friend, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor; in whose eyes a reprobate is despised, but who honors those who fear the Lord; who swears to his own hurt and does not change; who does not put out his money at interest, and does not take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.” Ps. 15

“And if you will obey my commandments which I command you this day, to love the Lord your God, and to serve him with all  your heart and with all your soul, he will give the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the later rain, that you may gather in your grain and your wine and your oil. And he will give grass in your fields for your cattle, and you shall eat and be full.” Deut. 11:13-15

“On that day the Lord their God will save them for they are the flock of his people; for like the jewels of a crown they shall shine on his land. Yea, how good and  how fair it shall be! Grain shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the maidens.” Zech. 9:16-17

“If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land” Is. 1:19

Faith that Shines

Feb27

Just because you can’t see the sun shining where you are, does that mean its not shining somewhere else in the World? It is the same with faith, you may not see it yet, for “faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.” You may still be hoping the sun will shine yet you may not see it; the evidence is there, but it just hasn’t come into your spectrum yet.

Believe to receive

Turn your faith into belief, and allow the substance to transform before you–into your realm, to receive. Anxiously looking doesn’t bring it to reality and neither does doubt, but trust without wavering.

Examine your heart daily, to see if there be anything in you that would hinder your ability to receive.

Anger, fear, anxiety, heartache, sadness and shame are precursors to doubt and disable your connection to the Father. True trust casts all other emotions and feelings aside, and stands in readiness to receive the Son and shine!

 

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Heb. 11:1 KJV

“But if we hope for what we do not see, we hope for it with patience. Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words. And he who searches the hearts of men knows what is the mind of the Spirit because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.” Rom. 8:25-27

“–Have faith in God. Truly I say to you whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you receive it, and you will.” Mk. 11:22-24

“But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways, will receive anything from the Lord.” Ja. 1:6-8

“Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.'” Mk. 10:27

“And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.” Dan. 12:3

“Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father.” Matt. 13:43

Eliminate the “middle man” and come directly to Me. So many of My children run to someone else for prayer.
