There’s No Better Way

The choice is yours, whether you walk the highway or travel the low path. Both lead to a destination, but is that destination your desired end?

You have a say in your future

You had your way in salvation; I gave you room to grow. You’ll have your day in judgment, should you not judge yourself by what you know.

“But if we judged ourselves truly, we should not be judged. But when we are judged by the Lord, we are chastened so that we may not be condemned along with the world.” I Corinthians 11:31-32

Clarity of vision comes from walking in My light; not ahead of it, nor behind, but My light is cast upon you when you walk with Me.

“For with thee is the fountain of life; in thy light do we see light.” Psalms 36:9

So, if you choose to walk with Me, I choose the highway.

It is the right way for those who see. The diligent choose the more difficult route, for it is easy to walk without a thought; stepping on those you find along the way. ‘What does it matter?’ For tomorrow’s another day.’…

It does matter to Me!

If you choose to walk free, I’ll see to it that you are not snared with cares. But you must be diligent unto Me. It may seem a battle, this higher way. But, in time, wisdom gives you greater vision to see.

Work on one thing–determine to love.
Then take on the battle with your tongue.
Judge no other, for I would have you to judge yourself.

Handle these three and more will be in store. But for now, work on this–it is key; for the greater walk is to love your neighbor as yourself. There is no high way, no right way, no better way than this–

Love

“And a highway shall be there, and it shall be called the Holy Way; the unclean shall not pass over it, and fools shall not err therein. No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast come up on it; they shall not be found there, but the redeemed shall walk there. And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with singing; everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.” Isaiah 35:8-10

“The way of the righteous is level; thou dost make smooth the path of the righteous. In the path of thy judgments, O Lord, we wait for thee; thy memorial name is the desire of our soul. My soul yearns for thee in the night, my spirit within me earnestly seeks thee. For when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.” Isaiah 26:7-9

“Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; love one another with brotherly affection; outdo one another in showing honor.” Romans 12:9-10

“Finally, all of you, have unity of spirit, sympathy, love of the brethren, a tender heart and a humble mind. Do not return evil for evil or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing. For ‘He that would love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking guile; let him turn away from evil and do right; let him seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those that do evil.'” I Peter 3:8-12

“For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love be servants of one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'” Galatians 5:13-14

Nov30

In a vision I saw the earth with countless facets of light radiating out into the universe. The earth itself looked as if, as midnight, but lights shown out from all around it. Then I saw the earth with a pacifier stuck in it, as if it was a baby’s mouth, and the Lord spoke this message to my heart…

The voice has been silenced because too many of My people have chosen not to grow. They have been distracted by many things, and as a baby, that is too caught up in his own cry to stop and listen will not be comforted until he is first brought to silence.

The physical, the emotional, overpowering the spiritual–this must not be.

Can a child suckle forever? No, he must be weaned, made to stand, urged to walk, correction comes; such is the path of life–the path that is right.

But parenting has become confused. Children are controlling their parents; parents fear the temper and wrath of a child un-ruled. This chaos is a reflection of darkness. Evil has planted a seed–so confusion grows.

Need of truth
Need of reproof
Need of LOVE

Pop the cork and refuse to be pacified any longer. Open your mouth to receive, for I will fill it as a mother bird feeding her young.

And you will grow

And you will know

that true sustainable harvest is the planted Word in the hearts of mankind. Planted to grow, for a harvest of souls that know that My light shines in the darkness through the hearts of men.

“Ho, every one who thirsts come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Hearken diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in fatness. Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David.” Isaiah 55:1-3

“Hear, O my people; while I admonish you! O Israel, if you would but listen to me! There shall be no strange god among you; you shall not bow down to a foreign god. I am the Lord your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.” Psalms 81:8-10

“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. ‘For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and return not thither but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and prosper in the thing for which I sent it.'” Isaiah 55:9-11

“For it is the God who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, to show that the transcendent power belongs to God and not to us.” II Corinthians 4:6-7

“And as for that in the good soil, they are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bring forth fruit with patience.” Luke 8:15

A Days Journey

Jul2

“Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I now declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.” Isaiah 42:9

Listen

Do you hear the sound of horse hooves? They get louder as they draw near. They are the horses I have trained for the end of times.

Each is unique
Each has a vision
Each will complete a mission for you

A horse represents power, strength, obedience.

For each task or mission I call you to in life–

I empower you
I give you strength
I require obedience

This will carry you through, but each mission is unique and requires new and sometimes greater power. Strength will vary with requirement. With each new task, envision that you have been given a new horse, complete with provision for the journey.

I find that many attempt a new mission with all that they ‘knew‘–not seeking Me for what they will need. And when they stumble, for lack of preparation, they wonder if they’ve missed it.

Was I mistaken?
Is this not the right timing?
Did I fail God?
Where did I go wrong?

I often hear this as questions, in tearful pleas.

Peace, Be still. Listen with your heart–

My child, you have not failed Me. For a willing heart cannot fail. Does a child fail when he tries to walk and stumbles? Does a loving parent scold him when he lands on his hands in the dirt? No. He smiles softly and lifts him up, brushes him off and urges him along–encouraging him all the way.

You are learning a new task–do not rely on old tools.

I will lift you up to a new height, and empower you with all that you need–a brand new steed, trained for the day. As each new day unfolds before you, seek Me for guidance for that day.

Yesterday is wisdom, but not food.

Wisdom is muscle–strength. Muscle must be fed or you will lose the strength you have.

Are you ready?

Come

Let Me hand you up–your ride is here. I have all you need for today,

and every day you seek Me…

For the journey

“And I will lead the blind in a way that they know not, in paths that they have not known I will guide them. I will turn the darkness before them into light, the rough places into level ground. These are the things I will do, and I will not forsake them.” Isaiah 42:16

“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 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 Corinthians 1:26-31

“His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, that through these you may escape from the corruption that is in the world because of passion, and become partakers of the divine nature.” II Peter 1:3-5

“”Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” Isaiah 43:18-19

Unlimited Possibilities

Jun19

Limits: One finds them at every turn in life…

Some are necessary to protect
Some are oppressive and lack respect
Some you have placed upon yourself

For you often see yourself with a limited vision.

Fearful at times or timid it seems. You may not fear the enemy, but many fear making the wrong decision.

Have you given Me full reign to move and have My being in your life?

If you have, then you can trust and know that I will direct you with confidence, for I know the road ahead. If your purpose is to make the right choice, then why would I direct you wrong? If you asked for bread, would I then give you a stone?

Many move without a direction in their heart, and then wonder why I ‘allowed’ them to make a wrong choice.

Misdirection comes from your mind, will, and emotions. Direction comes from Me. If you will only wait to see where I lead, then you will know and proceed with confidence. For I AM your compass–your True North and I will lead you, truly, if you will wait on Me.

Wait and See

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!” Matthew 7:-11

“I have taught you the way of wisdom; I have led you in the paths of uprightness. When you walk, your step will not be hampered; and if you run, you will not stumble. Keep hold of instructions, do not let go; guard her, for she is your life.” Proverbs 4:11-13

“For in him we live, and move and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said. For we are also his offspring.” Acts 17:28 KJV

“Teach me to do thy will, for thou art my God! Let thy good spirit lead me on a level path!” Psalms 143:10

“I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you. Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridle, else it will not keep with you. Many are the pangs of the wicked; but steadfast love surrounds him who trusts in the Lord. Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!” Psalms 32:8-11

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

“And Jesus said to him, ‘If you can! All things are possible to him who believes.'” Mark 9:28

Eternal Vision

Feb5

Your standards are not My standards. Man is so temporal in their thinking–I AM eternal. I have made provision for you to be eternal; your thinking should then align with an eternal vision.

So many are focused on themselves…

What are my needs?

What shall make me happy?

What shall I do today? Tomorrow?

But…

What about your neighbor?
What steps have you taken to meet the needs of others?
How about your calling?

Every man that calls himself saved–bears My blood–his sins are washed–has a calling. I have a plan and a purpose for your life. Do you have that in your plans?

I have a plan of provision for your needs–they need not be your concern.

Will you then concern yourself with Me? Will you carry out your part in the plan for your life?

There is so much to be done. Life is so fragile–so quickly spent.

Spend your time wisely

Develop vision

Walk with purpose

For if you don’t have a destination you will never arrive…

Lets map your life together!

“And he said to all, “If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake, he will save it.” Luke 9:23-24

“Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to accomplish his work. Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see how the fields are already white for harvest. He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together.” Jn. 4:34-36

“Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor.” I Cor. 10:24

“So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any incentive of love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfishness or conceit, but in humility count others better than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.” Phil. 2:1-4

“– one thing I do, forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Phil. 3:12-14

“Conduct yourselves wisely toward outsiders, making the most of the time. Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer every one.” Col. 4:5
