Know the Truth

Feb21

Many that are wise in their own eyes do not heed My Word. And yet it is My Word that would verily reveal the error of their ways. They feel and believe that they know enough, yea, that they ‘know it all’ and yet they know very little. For it is My Word that cleanses—

Bathe in My Word.

It is My Word that magnifies—

Examine yourself in My Word.

My Word is a lamp unto your feet, and a light unto your path–

Walk in My ways and you will be glorified in My Word.

Rest in My Peace and you will be justified—

My Word is Truth.

“For consider your call, brethren; not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth; but God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong, God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus, whom God made our wisdom, our righteousness and sanctification and redemption; therefore, as it is written, ‘Let him who boasts, boast of the Lord.'” I Cor. 1:26-31

“Look to yourselves, that you may not lose what you have worked for, but may win a full reward. Any one who goes ahead and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God, he who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son.” II Jn. 8-9

“He who says ‘I know him,’ but disobeys his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him; but 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.” I Jn. 2:4-6

“We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. And those whom he predestined he also called; and those whom he called he also justified; and those whom he justified he also glorified.” Rom. 8:28-30

“For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, ‘In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.” Is. 30:15

“Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you; therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you. for the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him.” Is. 30:18

 

Draw Near

Feb8

Draw near unto Me with full assurance and a pure heart; confident that I will perform My Word in your life. For if you believe with your whole heart, that My word is true, then you can know that it is impossible for Me to lie; it is impossible for Me to fail you.

Why do you fear child, as if I do not hear? What makes you think I don’t care; why the uncertainty?

  • Trust
  • Know
  • Believe

I have full confidence in you–a human that is frail. Will you have confidence in Me–a God of all power? I will prevail. Never be it said that I have let you down; it is impossible. I AM a God of all things possible to them that believe.

Stop casting blame on Me–on others.

Look to your own heart

Take responsibility

and

Believe!

“And Jesus answered them, “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. And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against any one; so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.” Mk. 11:22-26

“–With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God.” Mk. 10:27

“Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you; therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you.” Is. 30:18

“Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way which he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, and since we have a great high priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful; and let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” Heb. 10:19-25

 

Will you Wait?

Jan25

Blessings come to those who wait. Waiting does not have to be passive or inactive but, rather, it can be an opportunity to

  • Trust
  • Seek
  • Listen

Trust is a matter of the heart, for one cannot trust without relationship. Without relationship, fellowship and a history there is no basis for trust.

Seek is an action. If you are seeking you are actually expecting an end result; seek and ye shall find.

Listen do you hear it? My still small voice? If you are just too busy or too busy talking–if you are always the one speaking, you will not hear.

So–wait.

Will you trust Me and seek Me with all your heart? Will you listen while I speak?

Then  you are BLESSED!

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says 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.” Is. 55:8-9

“Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a righteous man and he will increase in learning. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight. For by me your days will be multiplied, and years will be added to your life.” Prov. 9:9-11

“Make me to know thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths. Lead me in thy truth and teach me for thou art the God of my salvation; for thee I wait all the day long.” Ps. 25:4-5

 

Abide

Jan15

Advancing into the Kingdom of God is like that of the growth of a baby. It is well known in My Word that I feed my children milk before they are ready for strong meat, but also, like that of a baby, the growth does not develop properly until the baby begins to trust. He will not step out in faith unless he knows and believes that someone will be there to catch him if he should fall. The baby will search for his mother’s eyes, smile and toddle in the direction that he sees her. He will hear her voice and turn to her with a smile or run giggling in the opposite direction, knowing full well that he will be chased and caught up into her loving arms.

So it is when my children look to Me for acceptance, love and nurturing. One look into My eyes and they know they are safe. Listening for My voice, they are comforted when I call. When they fall, I pick them up. If they run away, they know full well that I will pursue them.

But, there comes a time when…

  • The child must grow up.
  • Must launch into the deep.
  • Must not depend, but deepen.
  • Must eat strong meat.
  • Not seek to be fed, but seek to feed others.

Childish ways must be set aside, for maturity and usefulness to emerge. Just as a mother’s love never diminishes as the child grows into the man, neither will my love wane, but intensify.

This is my command

Abide in Me.

Abide in My Love.

Love one another.

“Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. If a man does not abide in Me, he is cast forth as a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire and burned.

If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples. As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.

This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down His life for His friends. You are My friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.

You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide; so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He may give it to you. This I command you, to love one another.”  Jn.  5:4-17

 

Special from the Womb

Jan9

Eye hath not seen the child that I have made that does not have “special” written on his heart. The hand of God has formed the child in the womb. I gather all children unto me and I call them good!

Place your child in My hands from the womb and I will lead him all the days of his life.

  • I will send those to him who will give him cool drink in a hot season.
  • I will send stumbling blocks in his path when he is going astray.
  • I will touch him with a kiss from Heaven that says, behold, thou art Mine.

Trust me with your little ones for I will see to it that your prayers are answered, for I love them even more than you do. I AM the one that created the mother’s heart. I AM the one that created your child.

Trust Me
