An Astonishing Discovery

Oct16

There is an end-time prophecy published in the first volume of the, “His Voice in My Heart” book series. At the time, it was estimated to be from 2004. Estimated, because the prophecy itself wasn’t dated. I was surprised at that, because I always jot down the date when the Lord gives me a message. At that time, it had been typed, printed and likely dated, but I scoured the house looking for a copy, that was not found.

Fast forward 21 years: Last night I felt pulled to my office, the same one that had been thoroughly searched, many times. I don’t use this office anymore, but for the printer. I didn’t realize that today represents a significant date, I was simply following the pull to go in there; and there, right on top of the desk, printed on purple paper, was a copy of the prophecy, dated October 16th 2004. The published version, taken from my notebook, I discovered, is only the end-portion of the message, which explains why there was no date. Wow!

An angel had to have put that paper there for me to find.

How else can this be explained?

How can one not see purple paper laying on top of white paper?

Laying on top of a desk, unnoticed, for 21 years? When in fact I’ve only owned my house for 19 of those 21 years.

Oh, but there’s more!

So, last year, *Lou Engle, and *Jonathan Kahn, orchestrated an event on the National Mall at the Capitol . . .

“A Million Women-An Esther Call To The Mall”

Lou Engle, explained that this gathering resulted from a dream God had given him 20 years ago, in 2004. The date the event was held was, October 12th, 2024. He had received his dream the same year that I received this prophetic message from the Lord. I had been watching over this message for 20 years, because I knew that I didn’t make it up and therefore, knew that the Lord would bring His word to pass. I just didn’t understand how very far ahead He prepares His people. I didn’t understand then, that receiving a word does not necessarily mean it is meant to be given in the moment.

I didn’t know I needed to wait–REALLY WAIT!

The message published in the book, “His Voice In My Heart,” begins with, “There is going to be a great ROAR.” As I was watching the event online, it was declared that they were going to release a roar. When they said that, in the spirit, I saw a large hand before me slip into a glove, a perfect fit– the dream and the prophecy as one.

I instantly recognized in my heart; and in amazement, with no one else present, very excitedly said out loud–This is it!

“This is the prophecy! It’s beginning to be fulfilled–the long wait is over!”

This event was a time of great boldness, and I watched as they took turns making bold declarations, just as the prophecy had declared.

I am ever so amazed at the great lengths the Lord will go to reach His people, as well as those that are not yet His, but He wants to reach. He will use any willing vessel to declare His Word and His purposes to the earth. I have found change happening in my own life and believe this is for you as well. He calls us to be prepared, filled up, ready and willing, but to be at rest. He will use you in an instant; pour through you His power, His work and then, rest. We can wear ourselves out by trying too hard, with sincere hearts, but it can become a work of the flesh. When His Spirit moves through you, lives are changed in just moments– It’s then, His work, not ours.

HE receives the Glory!

The following, is the entire prophecy. Found twenty-one years after the date it was received. I can only conclude. . .

God’s timing is perfect!

The prophecy was simply titled, “A Message From the Father” October 16, 2004. It is intense, not an easy message to hear, but there is GRACE. God is LOVE! He created all of mankind for good, but there is the caveat–He gave us a free will and therefore the responsibility is ours. Therein is the struggle–and the tremendous need for the Savior!

The Lord had been waking me up at 3:33am for over a year. Exactly that time, many many days. This day I woke up, expecting the clock to show 3:33, as usual, but instead it read, 4:44. “What’s this all about Lord?”,  I asked Him, and this message was His reply . . .

“It’s 4:44 and this is a new day! Behold, I shall do a new work! A work like you have never seen, nor experienced before. Unsurpassed, unprecedented, unencumbered! My angels have waited expectantly for this time to arrive. They have prepared for the final battle. Their warring techniques have been sharpened throughout history, but they have never before seen my anger, like they will see it now! For the devil has played his game long enough!

You see I have been patient and long-suffering, even with him. I have allowed him much freedom to roam about and to be a nuisance only for one reason. It is my desire that the people would love me with an act of their free will–they come to me because they want to and because they need to. But, just as in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, the nations have turned putrid and their hearts have become a stench to me. I would rise up and destroy great nations of peoples in my wrath, were it not for the prayers of the saints and my Word that was set forth from the beginning. I am unchanging and it is my desire that all would repent and come to the knowledge of the truth and to fullness of life through the Blood of my Son, Christ Jesus.

You, my dear ones, however, have been ever dearer to my heart. My heart swells with compassion for you as you strive to do good and yet you must toil in an evil, lustful, sin-laden world. My heart longs to pluck you out of that viper’s nest and hide you from the coming wrath. Yet, you shall and must experience great wars and battles for they will rage on earth as they do in heaven’s realm. The spirit world will become reality for those who have eyes to see and yes, it will be a fearsome sight, but I remind you of my Word that says, “Fear not, for I am with you.” “I will never leave you, nor forsake you.” Your coming King is coming for you, and this battle is waged to usher in that day. Therefore, gird up your loins with my truth. Study to show yourselves approved. For there will not be time for textbook learning in the coming days. My Word must be firmly planted in your hearts, that it is ever ready to spring up onto your tongue. It is your weapon of choice to wield against the forces of darkness, created for the evil one. My Word declares that I have created evil for the Day of Judgment. I have allowed it to thrive on the earth so that those with dark hearts should be revealed, causing my righteous judgment to come forth.

Children, these are the last days. I am about to usher in a time of revealing that you have longed for–long awaited for. For the ‘true church’ will no longer be suppressed! Those who have sought my true heart are crying out to rise above the deadness and decay many call church and the time and season is now for them to come forth!

A great outpouring of my Spirit is about to happen and even has begun. My people will no longer be ashamed to lift up my name. They will proclaim it loudly, boldly, before the face of evil and many will be saved. This is an exciting time for you. For you are eager to be bold and yes, even foolish, for my Name’s sake–in this, I am well pleased. For yes, I will use the foolish to confound the wise: those who will stop at nothing to declare My works and wonders; those who will stop at nothing to trample evil under their feet and lift up a banner to declare their coming King.

My Son is coming, triumphantly, and will be seen frequently among those who worship with pure hearts and unselfish motives. Watch–look for Him. He comes to you! He wants to bask in your praises–my dear church, you are anointing Him for battle! You are armoring Him in finery. You are His throne!

There is going to be a great ROAR!

It will happen so suddenly, it will shake the world. It is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah! It will be the roar of Jesus, coming out of His uncompromised church. The remnant that know Him and His ways–not only from the Word, but by His Spirit – those who are unbending and refuse to make excuses for the world and its ways. They are preparing now and if you are one of them, you sense it, and you are already anticipating this great move of God–in readiness.

This roar, will happen so suddenly, it will stop evil in its tracks for a brief time, as if stunned. The true church will take back the authority that is rightfully hers and the dead church will fall. A great out-pouring of declaration will come forth like never before. Bold, strong, Christians will rise up proudly and loudly, proclaiming the supremacy of Jesus. It will be an exhilarating and exciting time. A time of freedom and celebration–make much of this time, for though it will seem unending, it will be short and brief. For the enemy will again get a footing and will then rise up more vile and darker than ever before. This powerful declaration will usher in the final persecution of the church. Many will give their lives for Christ. It is the final battle, where sides must be taken. No more compromise will be tolerated–all must choose whom they will serve, and serve they will!

This must take place, it is the platform that will usher in our glorious and triumphant coming King!!”

Come, Lord Jesus!

“Lift up your heads, O gates! and be lifted up, O ancient doors! that the King of glory may come in. Who is the King of glory? The Lord, strong and mighty in battle!” Pslams 24:7-8

 

*Author’s Note: Lou Engle, and Jonathan Kahn, are not aware of nor associated with this ministry. I have included them only for reference to the time-frame and subject matter. God’s passion in this message, represents His intense love for all, to restore relationship through the redeeming Blood of His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ.

 

 

A Matter of Principle

Sep22

I had to make a tough decision this past week. Probably one of the hardest I have ever had to make. I made the decision to leave my church family and friends, that I love with all my heart. I never wanted to leave, thought I was rooted for life, and had even taught others that I was in it for the long haul and they should be too. I thought I was, but . . .

It became a matter of principle.

Right after announcing my decision to leave, I got in my car and on a radio program a  man was preaching that it is time we speak up–The Emperor Has No Clothes!

He’s right! I’m sure you know the story of the ruler that convinced everyone to go along with him, even agreeing against what they could see with their own eyes. Everyone followed for fear of speaking up. Fearful of standing out and being the only voice, they denied the truth–even to themselves. One young boy didn’t have any motive, anyone to impress, and in innocence, spoke the TRUTH.

When I made the decision to leave, rather than sorrow, sadness and depression, I felt elation. An immediate sense of freedom from being bound, like a bondage had been broken off of me. What followed was joy bubbling up and out of my spirit, and I have been full of great joy ever since. Before this takeover happened to my church, I had this same great joy, but what came in was a bulldozer; resulting in depression, anger, and a death-like feeling inside– a terrible sorrow one shouldn’t feel when present in the church-body they love.

I wasn’t going to say anything. I had approached leadership before this happened, because I had great trepidation. I told them I could not find peace. Expressing my concerns came to no avail, but were certainly not unfounded.

My joy comes from standing for principle–standing for Truth!

My concerns started when the takeover stated that he had asked  Jesus what He liked best about him and Jesus replied, “I love your sarcasm.”

Please allow me to refresh you on the meaning of the term. These are four definitions I found defining “Sarcasm.”

“Sarcasm: The use of remarks that clearly mean the opposite of what they say, made in order to hurt someone’s feelings or to criticize something in a humorous way.”

“Sarcasm: noun

  1.  A cutting, often ironic remark intended to express contempt or ridicule.
  2. A form of wit characterized by the use of such remarks. “detected a hint of sarcasm in his voice.”
  3. A keen, reproachful expression; a satirical remark uttered with some degree of scorn or contempt; a taunt; a gibe; a cutting jest.”

Sarcasm: is the caustic use of words, often in a humorous way, to mock someone or something. Sarcasm may employ ambivalence, although it is not necessarily ironic. Most noticeable in spoken word, sarcasm is mainly distinguished by the inflection with which it is spoken or, with an undercurrent of irony, by the extreme disproportion of the comment to the situation, and is largely context-dependent.”

“Sarcasm noun

1. : a sharp and often satirical or ironic utterance designed to cut or give pain.

2.  a : a mode of satirical wit depending for its effect on bitter caustic, and often ironic language that is usually directed against an individual.

b : the use or language of sarcasm.”

Basically, sarcasm, is poison that pollutes all those that must succumb to it. When it doesn’t go over well they say, “I was just kidding.” Sarcasm is the opposite of Truth, often a nasty remark hidden behind the guise of humor, usually sick-humor.

“Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death, is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, “I am only joking!” Proverbs 26:18-19

When the takeover learned of my attempt to expose the truth of sarcasm, it was defensively doubled down–even to the audacity of saying that Jesus spoke sarcastically to His disciples.

Blasphemy!

Can anyone read those definitions and truthfully say that Jesus would embrace such behavior? Even if the person makes the remarks against themselves, what fruit is there in negative behavior disguised as humor? That ended it for me and I was going to go away quietly, but every time I open my bible since, it is underscored that one needs to speak up!

Nebuchadnezzar had Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego bound and thrown into the fiery furnace because they refused to bow to the god that he had created. They weren’t afraid of standing up to the king, for they knew their King is Jesus–He is Truth!

“He who walks in integrity will be delivered, but he who is perverse in his ways will fall into a pit.” Proverbs 28:18

Truth is the opposite of Sarcasm, isn’t it?

I stand for Truth! Even at the cost of losing my church home–a family that I love with all my heart. I have joy because Jesus is with me in the midst of the fire. He took the bounds off of me when I stood and defended His character.

I have joy because I don’t follow man, I follow Jesus, and where He is–there is JOY!

How about you?

Does your church lead you closer to Jesus, leave you refreshed and full of JOY? If not, maybe you should stand up and speak the TRUTH!

“Nebuchadnezzar said, ‘Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent his angel and delivered his servants,  who trusted in him, and set at nought the king’s command, and yielded up their bodies rather than serve and worship any god except their own God.” Daniel 3:28

Was I Really Dreaming?

Sep3

Sometime in the night I was awake and thought about writing a post today, about the nearly dozen eggs that I had exploded all over my kitchen. Yes, it really happened, and I am shocked at how thoroughly an egg can explode. Not just blown open, but in pulverized fragments that covered my kitchen. I had put them on to cook, threw in some laundry and then proceeded into my quiet place where I got so caught up in spending time with the Lord that I had no memory of cooking them. Even when I heard the explosions, I thought it was an odd sound, but didn’t readily investigate. I thought it must be the neighbors. When I finally realized it was actually in my house, the pan then exploded the final egg!

What a mess!

My microwave, which was perfectly fine, now makes this very loud noise even though the eggs weren’t in it but cooked below it. I think the extreme heat/steam has warped the outer casing and now it vibrates. I am leaving it off for a bit to decide what to do. Too many online reviews say the newer microwaves, no matter the brand, just aren’t the quality they used to be. I am reluctant to scrap mine and hope I don’t have to. I don’t quite understand why the Lord didn’t clue me in on the brewing storm, except that maybe I needed to see the serious consequences of putting food on the stove to cook and leaving the vicinity. I have done this too many times. There are just so many more interesting things than cooking anymore. I’ve lost interest in it, and just cook to get it done!

The Dream:

So, this morning, I had a dream. In fact, I was sleeping so soundly that I slept until 9:34 and woke up from such a deep place that it took me a minute to realize I was awake and where I was. I had slept without hearing a text that came in an hour prior, and that is really not like me.

I woke up remembering the dream in every detail. The people, the conversation, what they were wearing, action, the miracle. I highly suspect the Lord had taken me there on a mission. You can believe or not, it’s up to you. I’m just relating what happened. I don’t even know myself, for absolutely sure, but it is just so very clear. Too clear–especially to make up the conversation in one’s head, back and forth in real time. He has done this before. I have experienced many miraculous things and I never limit the God who doesn’t know impossible. I related in a text to a friend this morning, “I kinda think we are going to be in for many surprises when we go to Heaven and learn of the many ways we were ‘used’ for Him and didn’t even realize it.” . . .

When there is a willing heart, He is able.

So in the dream, I was driving a car in a land that is foreign to me and just then a teenager, on a bike, rode up and kind of side-swiped into my car. He fell off the bike, so I got out of the car and asked him if I could pray for him, because he seemed so startled. He was agreeable, and we were about to, but a woman came up and said, “We can’t pray together, because we don’t pray to the same God.” I replied, “That may be so, and you can do what you want, but I am going to pray to the only God that can save and heal. Jesus Christ is the Son of God and it is only by His Blood that we can be saved, by His Blood that we are healed.”

At that, I was about to pray for this young man but I looked up to see a boy in a wheelchair that had apparently come with the woman. He had a look of determination on his face and he started to struggle, as if to get up. The woman looked over at him surprised and asked to him, “Are you wanting to try to stand?” She started to walk back to him, she had walked about 4 steps away from him to approach me, but he made a gesture with his hand that indicated he didn’t want her help. When suddenly, he stood–all by himself!

I hadn’t prayed for him, he had just heard and believed–and stood up!

He started to walk, very stiff-like at first, but he got stronger with each step. He looked almost like a straight stick, he was so thin. The woman then told me that he has never walked. I asked how old he is and she gave me an age range of around 4. I thought that was strange and said, “Don’t you know how old he is?” and then I learned that he was adopted and she really didn’t know his actual age. He looked older to me than 4. He was taller than I would think he would be for 4 and seemed more like a 6 year old. He was dressed in thin light pants and shirt, of what seemed like a cotton material. She had dark clothes and so did the boy with the bike.

The dream then ended and I woke up more rested than I have been in weeks. I needed that rest. I have been pushing hard all summer and the egg explosion was traumatizing to my exhausted soul.

Whether I was there or not will one day be revealed, but what is revealed right now is that Jesus is here for you. Whether you were taught to believe in Him or not–whether you believe or not. He wants to save you–He wants to heal you–He LOVES you!

The Holy Bible is very clear–He is the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father, but through Jesus. He is the One and only TRUE God. You can believe Him or not, it’s your choice. I am not trying to force Him on anyone.

I respect your right to believe what you choose, but I ask you . . .

Does your God Save?

Does your God Heal?

Does your God bring you Freedom?

Does your God bring you Joy?

Does your God give you Peace?

Does your God Love you?

Does your God answer your prayers?

Did your God die for you?

Do you know for certain where you will go when you die?

All these, and so much more, you should carefully consider–for if your answer is not yes to every one of them, then you are not following TRUTH.

If no, then you are not safe and you are not free.

I urge you to seek Jesus. ♥

“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me.” John 14:6

“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.” John 3:16-18

“He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne to his Son. And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has life; he who has not the Son of God has not life. I write this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life. And this is the confidence which we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have obtained the requests made of him.” I John 5:10-15

“Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders, if we are being examined today concerning a good deed done to a cripple, by what means this man has been healed, be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him this man is standing before you well. This is the stone which was rejected by you the builders, but which has become the head of the corner. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.'” Acts 4:8-12

“He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.” I Peter 2:24-25

“And just as it is appointed for men to die once, and after that comes judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.” Hebrews 9:27

“After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no man could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb!” And all the angels stood round the throne and round the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying, ‘Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God for ever and ever! Amen.'” Revelation 7:9-12

Will Time See Your Footprint?

Nov25

How can one pick a favorite scripture?

It cannot be done. They are like the grains of sand, when presented together, make a vast beach . . .

for Beauty

for Walking

for Peace and Tranquility

for Contemplating

An endless presence in your life.

At times they cling so tightly, others merely flow through your hands as you watch but don’t absorb meaning.

Walking may be difficult–

You may see it as a drudgery, this expanse of sand–

If that be the vision–a footprint will never be left.

The grains of sand are like time–don’t let them slip away!

“Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven. Your faithfulness endures to all generations. You established the earth, and it abides.” Psalm 119:89-19 NKJV

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Psalm 119:105 NKJV

“Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.” Ephesians 5:15-17

Great freedom is coming, but with that freedom will come many promoting their own doctrine that does not source from the Word.

Challenge what you hear.

Do not view reputation as proof, and accept everything as fact because of it. Take it before the Word; ask the Lord to confirm.

The Word is your plumb-line–your measure for accuracy.

“For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own liking, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander into myths.” II Timothy 4:3-4

“My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes. Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh.” Proverbs 4:20-22 NKJV

“Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against you. Blessed are You, O Lord!”

“I will meditate on your precepts, and contemplate Your ways. I will delight myself in your statues; I will not forget Your word.” Psalm 119:11, 15-16 NKJV

Consequences

Oct23

“Can’t you hear their slander, their lies? Their words are like poison-tipped arrows shot from the shadows. They are unafraid and have no fear of consequences. They set their traps against us in secret; they strengthen one another, saying, “No one can see us. Who can stop us?” They’re nothing more than unruly mobs joined in their unholy alliance, searching out new opportunities to pervert justice–deceivers scheming together their ill-conceived plot as they plan the “perfect crime.” How unsearchable is their endless evil, trying desperately to hide the deep darkness of their hearts. But all the while God has his own fire-tipped arrows!

Suddenly, without warning, they will be pierced and struck down. Staggering backward they will be destroyed by the very ones they spoke against. All who see this will view them with scorn. Then all will stand awestruck over what God has done, seeing how he vindicated the victims of these crimes. The lovers of God will be glad, rejoicing in the Lord. They will be found in his glorious wrap-around presence, singing songs of praise to God!” Psalm 64:5-10 TPT

“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven . . . a time to keep silence, and a time to speak.”

Ecclesiastes 3:1,7b

“Surely the Lord God does nothing without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets. The lion has roared; who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken, who can but prophesy?”

Amos 3:7-8

The Last Ditch Effort

Aug25

“‘There was a rich man who had a steward, and charges were brought to him that this man was wasting his goods. And he called him and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Turn in the account of your stewardship, for you can no longer be steward.’ And the steward said to himself, ‘What shall I do, since my master is taking the stewardship away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg. I have decided what to do, so that people may receive me into their houses when I am put out of the stewardship.’ So summoning his master’s debtors one by one, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe my  master?’ He said, ‘A hundred measures of oil.’ And he said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’ then he said to another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ He said, ‘A hundred measurements of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’ The master commended the dishonest steward for his shrewdness; for the sons of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the sons of light. And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal habitations. He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much; and he who is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much. If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust to you true riches? And if you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own? No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.'” Luke 16:1-13

“Daniel said, ‘Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever, to whom belong wisdom and might. He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding; he reveals deep and mysterious things; he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.” Daniel 2:20-22

 

Learning His Love Language

Apr16

A child’s life is built upon the ABC’s . . .

This is the foundation for learning the structure of words, spelling, speaking.

Every born-again child of God must learn their ABC’s . . .

Atonement

Blood

Cross

It is the foundation for your life—Eternal Life.

“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23

All sin must be atoned for by the Blood of a sinless man—My sacrifice for thee.

Your act of faith to receive, My Blood, forever changes you to be–just as if you’d never sinned. . .

Forever to be with Me!

As simple as the ABC’s . . .

Why complicate it?

Just receive.

Come to Me as a child . . .

Accepting

Believing

Confessing

“Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” Mark 10:15

My Love Language — the Word — I AM!

“He is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation; for in him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or authorities–all things were created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. He is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that in everything all the fulness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.” Colossians 1:15-20

“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 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.” John 1:10-14

“And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12

“For no human being will be justified in his sight by works of the law, since through the law comes knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from law, although the law and the prophets bear witness to it, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction; since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, they are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as an expiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins; it was to prove at the present time that he himself is righteous and that he justifies him who has faith in Jesus.” Romans 3:20-26

“But what does it say? The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart (that is, the word of faith which we preach); because, if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For man believes with his heart and so is justified, and he confesses with his lips and so is saved. The scripture says, ‘No one who believes in him will be put to shame.’ For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and bestows his riches upon all who call upon him. For, ‘every one who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.'” Romans 10:8-13

Secrets of the Heart

Mar5

Put yourself in the place of Peter. Imagine how he felt when he so wanted to give his whole heart, and yet his heart betrayed him with feelings he did not know.

In the best of times and the worst of times, we are made more aware of the truth in our heart . . .

The pressure reveals!

“As in water face reflects face, so a man’s heart reveals the man.” Proverbs 27:19 NKJV

Therefore, tend to your heart, always. Be ready in season and out; for you know not what may come.

Are you ready to give answer for what may be revealed–what is in your heart?

You are the keeper of your soul. *see note below.

Peter was surprised, but I already knew. (Matthew 26:33-35, 69:75)

You see, I don’t reveal to embarrass or shame you, but that you may know–just what it is that needs to go. Don’t wait for Me to show you the truth, as did Peter.

Fill your heart with Truth, to reveal the truth–

What needs to be?

What needs to leave?

Serve Me with your whole heart!

*(Freely attend to your soul as you would a garden, removing the weeds, tending the fruit. Each heart and soul must be tended, as unto Jesus; the “Overseer” of each soul surrendered unto Him.) (I Peter 2:25) *Note added to amplify.

“My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life. Put away from you a deceitful mouth, and put perverse lips far from you. Let your eyes look straight ahead, and your eyelids look right before you. Ponder the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established. Do not turn to the right or the left; Remove your foot from evil.” Proverbs 4:20-27 NKJV

“‘Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say? Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like: He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock. But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream, beat vehemently; and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great.'” Luke 6:46-49 NKJV

“And he said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'” Matthew 22:37-39

“Catch us the foxes, The little foxes that spoil the vines, For our vines have tender grapes.” Song of Solomon 2:15 NKJV

Turn on the Light Please

Dec17

There’s darkness all around–deep darkness. Yet, many do not notice, cannot discern, the cause or purpose that this might be.

“But the wicked walk in thick darkness, like those who travel in fog, and yet don’t have a clue why they keep stumbling!” Proverbs 4:19 TPT

What reason?

The gross magnitude of sin threatens to consume. Brave is the one praying in the dark–the cold, the night.

Turn on the light!

What is the purpose?

Time is running short–for all will see the Glory.

The purpose of the enemy is to push back the Light, but he has no righteousness in him. Therefore, he has no power to perform. He creates an illusion; for if he can persuade you to accept a lie, you hand him power. For it is Light–Truth that overcomes darkness, all else is a lie.

Do not hide the Truth–I AM!

Shine!

“Do not detour into darkness or even set foot on that path. Stay away from it; don’t even go there! For troublemakers are restless if they are not involved in evil. They are not satisfied until they have brought someone harm. They feed on darkness and drink until they’re drunk on the wine of wickedness. But the lovers of God walk on the highway of light, and their way shines brighter and brighter until they bring forth the perfect day.” Proverbs 4:14-18 TPT

“For God, who said, “Let brilliant light shine out of darkness,” is the one who has cascaded his light into us–the brilliant dawning light of the glorious knowledge of God as we gaze into the face of Jesus Christ. We are like common clay jars that carry this glorious treasure within, so that the extraordinary overflow of power will be seen as God’s, not ours.” II Corinthians 4:6-7 TPT

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid. Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a bushel, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16

“Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the Lord will arise upon you, and his glory will be seen upon you. And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.” Isaiah 60:1-3

“Light rises in the darkness for the upright; the Lord is gracious, merciful, and righteous. It is well with the man who deals generously and lends, who conducts his affairs with justice. For the righteous will never be moved; he will be remembered for ever. He is not afraid of evil tidings; his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.” Psalms 112:4-7

“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being changed into his likeness from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.” II Corinthians 3:17-18

Truth Prevails

Feb7

Look around you–it appears that everything has changed, and the world is not as you once knew . . .

But, did My Word change?

Will it ever?

No–it is written, even as–written in stone!

When Moses broke the tablets of stone, it did not stop the Word.

When a virus has claimed many lives, My Word is still True . . .

For those who believe, My Word is–as new!

Righteousness shall prevail, and Judgement too. Think about which of those pertains to you!

Will you be found rejoicing, or shaken?

Listen to the Truth–forsake the lies, for they’ll bow–

will you?

“Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that in due time he may exalt you. Cast all your anxieties on him, for he cares about you. Be sober, be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking some one to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experience of suffering is required of your brotherhood throughout the world. And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, establish, and strengthen you. To him be the dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” I Peter 5:6-11

“Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.” Psalms 55:22

And when did we see thee sick or in prison and visit thee?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.'” Matthew 25:37-40
