One of the greatest blessings from the Holy Spirit is when He illuminates our darkened mind with the truth of our state in relation to the Lord.  When we are awakened to the emptiness we have with in living without God in our lives, then we learn He is the Answer,  wow! The first Light dawns of the Son  in us as when the light starts to  arise in the east for the start of the new day.  When we have the our Great Awakening of the Lord Jesus Christ, the whole earth becomes brand new to us again….. The sky is bluer and the grass greener….. We have been born all over again!  We have found our Great Lover of us, even us ……. If you have not fallen in love before, this is very similar, isn’t it?

When we awake to the need of any thing- we usually go and seek it…… If we are out of milk, we get out and obtain the milk. When we need gas for our car, we get some…… Thank God we can get the fuel we need now. Today His salvation is offered, we have need if we are honest…… He owns tomorrow, we do not.

When we realize our need because something is not okay within us…… Praise God!  He has touched us with the Truth, the Light of God has come to awaken us to Him…… What an awesome adventure that has opened to us from that little touch of His Spirit. In our nature, we only will seek something, when we come to the realization we need it.    The key to success in advertising, is presenting their item as a necessity  not a luxury. Therefore we will purchase the item because we “need ” it. In truth, we do not need the item at all, but their selling pitch or manipulation of our concocted need worked.

We do not realize our need of cleansing until we see our state from the eyes of heaven.  We then thank God for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and His blood.   As we go on and  learn that we cannot walk this holiness and righteousness walk  at all…… It is a given!!!!  So then we seek the Lord for how do we do it?  We seek Him again…… because we come to a need…… Then we get endued with power from on High to live and walk and speak the Word that comes from within….. The Word of God becomes alive to us and within us by the Spirit quickening us…….We are then awakened to a greater measure of God, Christ in us our hope of glory.

My son, if your receive my words, and treasure My commands within you, so that you incline your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding; yes, if you cry out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding, if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures; then you will understand the fear of the Lord, and find knowledge of God.

For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth comes knowledge and understanding; He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk uprightly; He guards the paths of justice, and preserves the way of His saints. Then you will understand righteousness and  justice, equity and every good path, ( Proverb 2:1-9).

When we realize that we are in need, then we may conclude that where we are at is not complete, so we may make room for the new and leave the old….. This is what Abraham did when the Lord touched Abraham’s awareness….. God spoke to Him, to leave all behind and his country…… But obviously Abraham knew he was in need because He obeyed…… He was not complete living in Chaldea worshipping false gods.

When God awakened Abraham to His voice….. He heard. He had to  follow the Lord’s instructions and walk out to get in to the promises the Lord spoke to him.  We always have to leave one place to  obtain the blessings of the Lord……Walk out and get in God’s plan….Then we leave the lesser for the greater measure of Christ ………

We go strength to strength as written in Psalm 84:5-7, Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is on pilgrimage. As they pass through the valley of Baca, they make it a spring; the rain also covers it with pools. They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion.

In the Old Testament there was a literal move with the promise of the land.  In the New Testament we may not have to leave any where physically but the changes first arise in our hearts….. There might be changes in our natural life that have to take place for the blessing of our walk to increase in God.  We must be open to leave all behind for Christ…… As we leave all behind in the strongholds of our thinking and ways to obey the Word of God, all of the “not so good” attachments to us, fall away, the hook which they attached themselves to us is removed by our obedience.  Our fastened focus to the Lord destroys all the weeds and thorns that were growing around us. Now our roots maybe grounded in the Lord Jesus, the Word of God.  Let go of some of the false “needs” that take time and roll that time into the hands of the Spirit of God, and see the transformation work of God appear !!!!!!!!

Wrong attachments are seen like ropes acting as anchors to the earth running up to our person, holding us in place and keeping us from our faith soaring with the Spirit of God into the great vast place He has provided for us in His Son, Jesus Christ, our King.

Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man  who gains understanding; for her proceeds are better than the profits of silver and her gain than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies, and all the things you may desire cannot compare with her, ( Proverbs 3:13-15).

The Lord spoke often of the increase of pressure as the end of time gets closer…… The pressure is allowing the refinement of the saints….. This is the good plan of God before us, which we rejoice because of the increase of Him within us, all the saints, will grow to measure He has planned from the foundation of the world-

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace which He made to abound to us in all wisdom and prudence, having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, that in the dispensation of the fullness of times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth- in Him. In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory, ( Ephesians 1:7-12).

The time is now  for this generation to learn to reign in Christ Jesus as written: To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ; to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him, ( Ephesians 3:8-12).

The only way to reign in this life given to us in Christ is when we come to the realization of needing to…..

Jesus spoke to us the parable of the ten virgins who took their lamps to meet the bridegroom. Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom, Now five of them were wise,  and five were foolish.  Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took no oil with them, but the wise tool oil in their vessels with their lamps. But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.

And at midnight  a cry was heard: Behold, the bridegroom is coming, go out to meet Him! Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out. But the wise answered saying, no  lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell,  and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding and the door was shut.

Afterward the other virgins came also saying, Lord, Lord, open to us! But He answered and said, assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.

Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming, ( Matthew 25:1-13).

The foolish virgins did not realize their need until it was too late…….. Let that not be found for us…… This day, let us listen to the Spirit of God awakening us to our need of our dependence on the One True Living God. Bow in humble obedience to leave all to gain Christ Jesus….. This, beloved, is the high calling of Christ Jesus in God granted before us with a great open door…… Let’s go running in……. in great faith and anticipation of His great love to bring us into greater measure of Him……..to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height- to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge, that we may be filled with the fullness of God.( Ephesians paraphrased).

We are the temple of the God today….. We need His Spirit in us, representing the vessels that the virgins carried the oil in the above parable.  The Lord knows the house He lives in and whose He does not……We know where we live, don’t we?  Where we call home. The Lord often went to Bethany for His friends lived there as He walked on the earth in the flesh……Mary and Martha and Lazarus loved Him and the motley crew He brought with Him….. Our Lord took comfort there. Our God inhabits the praise of His people….. and still does today.

This also brings to mind another warning from the Spirit of God to the Laodicean church written in Revelation 3: 13-22): He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold or hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.

Because you say, I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing- and do not know you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked- I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich;  and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore, be zealous and repent.

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him and He with Me. To who Him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.     Even

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

The two parables are liken to the end of the age or at least maybe our age!  The perspective on how we live and spend our time is due to what we think is important…… We live in the heavenly view or an earthly view and we will gather according to our respective view: the riches of heaven in Christ Jesus or we will gather the riches of the world……The true riches will follow us into eternity and the other won’t pass the grave.

We should often meditate on the letters written to the churches in the first chapters of Revelation. Yes, the warnings are hard but the blessings are worth leaving all the old to make room for  the promises of the overcomers. If the Spirit of God is speaking to us in regards to any of the letters to us in Revelation 1-3, we should take heed and realize our need…… Humility always triumphs in the overcomers in Christ Jesus.  We aren’t. He is, so we allow HIM.         We should not let go of the Spirit of God until we have the wisdom and knowledge to obtain and live in the promises of the overcomers.

As parents our goal for our children is finish their schooling years to be prepared for the purpose God has called them to be…… Their vision may be different…… They may be happy to get through the math class that day or year!  They may be just be content to graduate 8th grade and stay out of schooling forever!

Is some of our thinking the same but in  regards to  the salvation of our God given to us?  We may be content not going to hell or math class!!!! Salavation of God is not the end but the Beginning of our purpose and inheritance found in Christ Jesus to bring God glory.

We have such great unsearchable riches in Christ Jesus…… We have all the land in Christ Jesus before us and we know God is for us to be overcomers for His glory  – if we see  our need to do this…….. We will obtain the faith and vision to overcome and be triumphant in the eyes of our Lord now and later and forevermore.  When we realize the need to reign in Christ Jesus, we will seek and find the knowledge and wisdom in the Spirit to accomplish this promise also.

When the warm wind blows there is not much need to get a fire started, but remember, when the cold winds blow, the need for flaming the fire of God is highly needed to keep our hearts warm for the love of God. Even so, send the cold winds Lord, send the cold winds, oh Spirit of God.

In the mercy of God, we are given the time to go and buy for us the gold refined in the fire and white garments and salve for our eyes…… to fill our vessels with the glory of God, Christ in us……… our only hope of glory.  Let us be wise and seek the Spirit of God for His instruction and leading to the heights of the hill of the Lord….. Let us be found filled with His Spirit, the oil, shining bright for the King is watching in our midst and is coming!  Let Him see our preparation of our faith.  Let Him view our branches laden over heavy with grapes for His pleasure.

Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding , as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord, ( 2 Corinthians 3:17-18).

For it is the God who commanded light to 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 Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not us. We are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken, struck down, but not destroyed- always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may be manifested in our body. For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh, ( 2 Corinthians 4:6-11).

For I consider the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God, ( Romans 8:18-19).

We must trust our heavenly Father to His big picture, His plan to His good pleasure.  We must cooperate by faith to His complete plan and purpose to be worked out in each of our lives to build God’s  mosaic temple……… We must continue to plow our faith in new ground so our garden is abundant and full of grace and the knowledge of the Lord God……. Let us keep plowing even if it seems like the math class of this year will never end!  It will,  as parents we know it will, but as His children, sometimes we need to work our patience muscles so we may see His purpose through our Father’s eyes of grace. So we keep going because we know He is for us and His love continues to carry us.

For you have need of endurance, so that after you do the will of God, you may receive the promise: For yet a little while, and He who is coming will come and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith; but if anyone draws back My soul has no pleasure in him, ( Hebrew 11:36-38).

 

In Your Great Riches, You have provided all I will ever need.

In the Great Word of Your power, You have raised me.

In Your Holy Spirit, You have filled me.

In Your Wisdom, You have given me understanding.

In Your City, Your Name You have bestowed upon me.

In Your Life, You have given me freedom from death.

In Your Knowledge, You have given me Life Eternal.

Oh, there is no greater Treasure then to know You, My God, My King !

Oh there is no greater delight than to gaze upon My King and My God all my days!

I gladly lay down all to gain the Greatest Love, my God, my all!

My heart will gladly follow the One who makes my feet dance upon the heights of His Love.

My God and My King, there is no God but You who deserve all my honor and love!

Selah!

 

My Children,

Hear My Voice, beloved, hear Me speak Life to you. How will you know to live My ways but  I AM guiding you. Yea, My ways are higher, but alas, they are made known to you today, even today. Can two walk together and not be in agreement? Yea,  a threefold cord cannot be easily broken.

I AM always with you even to the end of the age. Do not fear.   Allow My Love to perfect you. My Love surrounds you as a shield. My Love lifts you beyond the cliffs of the limits of your vision.   My Love fills you with the delight  and Light of the Kingdom of God.   My love is always and forever.  My Love covers your nights with Light and the heat of the day with soft breezes of My Words. Rejoice in I AM’s ever watchful eye upon My beloved.

If I AM is hidden will you search for I AM or is your sight perfected to know I AM with you. Will you in the nights as well as the days, in the cold and in the warmth, know I AM is here and is to come?  For I AM has spoken, the kingdom of heaven is within you……. Where you are so I AM.  Do you delight in My great love for you today?  In  I AM is found your peace.  Do not wander in doubt and fear and allow the Truth to be robbed within.   Remain in My Spirit where the Word of Truth will keep you.  There is no where in this heaven or in this earth that My love for you will be not be.  Trust and rest in a so great a love as found in I AM, where you are . Pursue the knowledge of I AM and you will rest in My love and peace as they cover your paths and lift you on high.

Alas, I AM has bestowed upon you the name that is above all names, I AM, Jesus Christ, every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that I AM Lord.  Why do you fear, My children…… Be strong and courageous for I AM goes before you and have given all where your footsteps  walk…….I AM has heard your prayer and your view of heaven in faith by My Spirit.  Your life is in heaven. Heaven is in your life. So speak what is bound in heaven is bound on this earth and what is loosed in heaven is loosed in this earth……. Command thus be and be it shall.  Do not look to see. Expect and walk in the answered Word of My promise…… The Word of My power goes forth to perform all My good counsel.

Yea, My anger arose as My servant and friend Moses questioned the use of his tongue in speaking My Word.  I AM made his tongue and have I AM not equipped you with all you need to be Mine? My blood has cleansed all who have received I AM, My Love. Woe to the one who calls unclean the clean and the clean the unclean. Do not blaspheme against the work of My Spirit.  I AM holy. I AM.

What you believe is what will be.  I AM is here watching over My Word. I AM is watching for those who are watching for I AM.  My hand is not shortened nor is I AM  far away…….. I AM here……Where are you? I AM has bestowed upon you all things that pertain to godliness so at the end of your days, I AM sees you spotless and blameless before My sight.  It is wise to adhere to the Word of Truth that is made known to you today, yea even today, by My Spirit says the I AM, the Lord of all.

To all who are heavy burdened and lost, come to I AM. Come to the cross, where I AM and My blood will cleanse you. Your life will be new as the freshly fallen snow as by God.  Your sins will be cast as far as the east is to the west. Come to Me today. Come to Me and be at peace and find yourself in My love today, for you do not know what tomorrow holds. Come to Me now, My child. Be wise and receive the Love that you can only find in the Great I AM.  I AM waiting with outstretched arms even today for you, My child. Come and see the tears of rejoicing on My face as I AM holds you with an everlasting love because you have come to Me.

Come and see, then you will know what will be.

SELAH!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Afterward he brought me to the gate, the gate that faces the east. And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. His voice was like  the sound of many waters; and the earth shone with His glory.

It was like  the appearance of the vision which I saw- like the vision I saw when I came to destroy the city. The vision which I saw at the River Chebar; and I fell on my face.

And the glory of the Lord came into the temple by way of the gate which faces towards the east.

The Spirit  lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the Lord filled the temple. Then I heard Him speaking to me from the temple, while a man stood beside me. And He said to me, Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the  children of Israel forever. No more shall the house of Israel defile My holy Name, they nor their kings, by their harlotry or with their carcasses of their kings on their high places, ( Ezekiel 43:1-7).

What was seen, is and is to be known or seen.

What if we already entered into those pearly gates that is so often heard  in songs when we leave our flesh suit and enter into heaven’s realm? The reference is regarding our death of the mortal body….. but…….. what if we live in the Truth of God’s written Word…..-…We have died and have entered in to the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of God???? If we have died in Christ, and we live in Him and unto all righteousness….. We are from and live in the heavenly realm now by the Spirit of God.

If we are the bride now and we are the army now, then we are also the city of God, the heavenly Jerusalem, that came out of the heavens written in the Book of Revelation.  This also confirms the words spoken by Paul in Galatians 4:22, For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a free woman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise, which things are symbolic.

For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar- for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem, which now is, and is in bondage with her children- but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all.

Those gates which we enter to Mount Zion, Jerusalem, as written, are we not partakers now? Are we not partakers of the heavenly calling today?  – Are we not there now in His Spirit? So where the Lord is we have  joined Him. We are not in complete  measure but to come we will always be growing in greater measure.

What is known and yet to further manifest before us regarding our inheritance and place in Christ Jesus is as real as the green grass on our lawns out in our yard.   The more we strive to enter in and apprehend all that our God has apprehended us with His Love, we will be known as we are known in like measure….. There is more to apprehend in Christ Jesus, right?

Remember the allegory that was presented through Ezekiel, written in chapter 47, as he was instructed by an angel to walk  through the river flowing from the temple door on the right side to the east? As Ezekiel walked through the river at first came up to his ankles, then progressed to his waist. Then another measure he passed through he could only swim in the abundance…….

Now in the Old Testament, one could not enter the temple unless they were clean by the gazillion rules and regulations established…. They also had to be circumcised……. No foreigner could enter. In God’s Truth and Reality, we are all unclean not one of those gazillion rules would ever make us clean nor all the slain bulls, calves, lambs or goats……….. even doves.    Until Jesus…..

As states in John 10:7,  Then Jesus said to them again, Most assuredly, I say to you, I AM the door of the sheep.

I AM the Door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture,( John 10:9).

We are all unclean but by the blood of the Lamb of God, we can enter into the relationship with God. We enter in to the spiritual realm or heaven the day we believe and receive His Spirit…….- …… and He enters into to us by His Spirit in the temple of our body…..First in small measure then we progress in His ways and knowledge of God which is eternal life…..Our mind is renewed to the likeness of Christ Jesus. Our Spirit man is growing in the revelation knowledge of our God because we have been blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus, according to Paul written in Ephesians.  The power of His resurrection life is growing steadily in like measure according to the truth we walk out from what we apprehend by His Spirit.

If you want to cross a chasm and the only way apparent to do that is a huge rope before you…… What do you do? Well, we would grab hold of that rope and put all our weight to fling us across to the other side…… The faith is knowing there is more to obtain in God across this chasm…… The Word of God is the rope…. to bring us there.   The fullness of God is in Christ Jesus and we are in Him…… So let us obtain all we can in Him, where we live and breath and have our being as a born again child- growing into sons and daughters of the One True Living God.

And so it is written, The first man Adam became a living being. The last Adam became a life giving spirit. However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual. The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lord from heaven. As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly.

And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man. Now I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption, ( 1Corinthians 15:45-50).

So as we grow in understanding to the will of God for this age, we must take these scriptures to know we live truly now by the Spirit of God and not by our flesh or our natural eyes. We have entered in the Kingdom of God, or the Kingdom of God has entered us……. today!  We will realize the same measure when we leave the mortal for the immortal. What we have gained in Christ when we leave this flesh behind will be exactly how we are  known by the King today or the day we vacate the fleshly body…..We must be clothed with the Garments of heaven, His Spirit……. If we know the Lord today in a great measure of our lives, if we were to leave earth today…. Then that same same measure we will be known by Him……We may see more of Him in the spiritual realm but His view of us is the same between our last breath here and the awakening of us in the spiritual realm.

So let us swim in the abundance of the river of life the pours forth for us so as to flow out of us. We have entered into the Temple of God by the blood of the Lamb and the river that pours forth freely in and through us from His side is His life immortal.

We are given His Holy Spirit, the River of Life, flowing freely from His side into us as much the same way God took the rib of Adam to create Eve as Adam’s wife….. We are created or born again in the Spirit by God from the Son of the Living God, by His blood and water.

For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you will also appear with Him in glory, ( Colossians 3:3-4).

When our spiritual eyes have seen the King of glory, our vision becomes heavenly focused as well as our focus and understanding of the world is from heaven.  We can easily then bring heaven’s rule in prayer to this world….. for as the Lord instructed us, as it is in heaven , Your will, oh God, be done on this earth.  Your name is known and is exalted among Your creation this day as all creation has cried out in the past, and will always in the future and in this day….. Our Great God who is worthy of all our praise !

We live according and abide in the great revelations of Jesus Christ that were manifested before Paul by the Spirit of God for the whole counsel of God to be fulfilled for His praise and purpose in Christ’s body. We walk before His presence and live from His presence to the growing measure of the fullness of God which is found in Christ Jesus of in whom we are complete.

Know this, if Christ is our goal and Christ is the Center and the Supreme of our lives,…… we have all the victory against Satan. Where we live in Christ and have died, we have ascended to the heavenly life in Christ Jesus….. Where we seek the world and live in the world, we have lateral or even some dissension to the overcoming victory we have been freely given in Christ…..

I guest it comes down what Door we choose to walk through and stay and set up our roots……. Door #1- Christ Jesus- the King of all Kings, who has given us all things which never can be exhausted that pertain to godliness and life eternal joy or door #2, which smells good from the outside and it is covered with a glitter and gold as you walk in and through the door has turned in to dross and chains that bind you to death eternal……

In one Door, we die in love for a Love that we have never seen or experienced before in our lives until now. In door # 2, we want to live by the sight of our eyes, and end up dying a slow death of never  having enough- greed.  We are lulled by the deceit of our hearts to death eternal….. and we do never receive the fullness of our hearts desire because we choose by our eyes and our heart  and not our conscience.

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world- the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life- is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard  that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour,  ( 1 John 2:15-18).

Remember : This is a faithful saying: For if we died with Him, we shall also live with Him.

If we endure, we shall also reign with Him.

If we deny Him, He will also deny us.

If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself, ( 2Timothy 2:11-13).

We can have our hearts deceive us by doing God’s will and work and still want the recognition and name and fame of people but it is justified because it is for God……. When we come to the realization we have died to our selves and are really only living and alive to Christ. Only then will His fruit be manifested to His glory and pleasure.  There is no room for two bosses or CEO’s or Commander in Chief or two kings of one body……

The experiences we are brought into by the Living Spirit of God is to prove our death and resurrected life in Christ Jesus…… All humanity is dead spiritually and pride deceives us that we are alive…… Only by the blood of Jesus Christ and the saving knowledge received into our hearts and minds of the Savior of the world can we be born anew and resurrect in Him.

We are One with God in fellowship from the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ  for we know we abide in Him……. We cannot go but any other way but follow His footsteps to our cross……. Religion has a lapse of memory here——The death is spoken of  but we have risen with our Mighty Warrior also!  We rise in His resurrection Life and power by His Spirit says the Lord!  Remember He is the Beginning and the End…… Our all is  found in Him.

We have already entered into the heavenly Door or Gate. We are in the heavenlies today…. Our faith says our lives are found in Christ Jesus who is seated at the right hand of the Almighty.  As it is in heaven shall be and is our life on this earth today…… As it is in heaven, may the Lord’s will be accomplished by our faith in His word and purpose with in and then out ward….today and forever.  His pleasure and joy seeing His redeemed following His ways before His sight as He is in our midst today. Let us give Him pleasure.

We are His and His love forever……. as it is in heaven, Lord, spark Your love in us towards You in greater measure so You are our forever Love….. Our first Love be everyday….

As He knows our thoughts, let us please Him :  Not what are we going to get out of this but……I know and realize Lord -You delight in us and You will bring us into ……… victory to overcomer….. Not I Lord, but You…..

In Your grace, You have called me.

In Your Goodness, You have wooed me.

In Your faithfulness, You have kept me.

In Your mercy, You have forgiven me.

In Your greatness, You have plans for me.

In Your majesty, You have protected me.

I gladly lay all down for the Prize You have given me in You.

Selah!

 

Children,

Do not be deceived there is only One Holy I AM! I AM ! I AM here for you today. My ever watching eye is upon you. What are your eyes gazing upon? What you desire is what you gaze upon and are enticed to either glory or shame.

Do not be deceived I AM will not be mocked for what ever a man sows that also shall he reap.  Your days are all known and mapped before I AM.

Just as the Son of Man sows the Word of God into a heart. I AM knows the harvest of My Words, whether the field will produce a great harvest for My kingdom or fall into the fire.

Many hear the sounds and words of My people and go their ways as in the days of old.  They declare what a melody, the sound of those whose words I AM puts in their mouths, but they walk away into their own path and heed not the Voice of Wisdom.

As spoken by the wise, many hear the word of God but not many do the words of My heart…….Do not forget who begot you and who has numbered your days and gives you the breath that you breathe.

Many voices are sounding out to lead you into their paths. Alas, there are only two roads- one leads to destruction and the other, though it is narrow, leads to life abundant and joy overflowing.   My work is complete for you.  My shed blood has covered your sins and iniquities, yea, even your unbelief.  Yah, why do you want to end your days in death when you may have the shadow of death lifted and life eternal may reside in you, for I AM there…… Come to Me…… Do not forsake My mercy.

Will it not be better for you if I AM comes to you as a Friend and not as a foe?  As I AM has spoken, you will not know when I AM comes, the time to you will be like a thief in the night, when you are sure of all around you is forever, alas, the truth will be shining as the noon day sun upon the days you have spent and what fruit or thorns they have produced.

I AM is found at the Door of Wisdom for all to come. Sit and get refreshed in My gentle breeze of life eternal. Do not turn away and allow pride to win you to death eternal.  Do not doubt My Love which has never failed you, you have failed in your hearing and acting in wisdom for the days ahead are trembling to burst out of the womb of the morning where the sun is red.    Do you know the last day of your breath? Did you plan your arrival into this world? Why do you reason within yourself that you may know your end of days?

I AM the Ancient of Days. I AM always…… Come to Me while the sun is bright in the afternoon heat and  before it sets upon this earth.  You do not know, yea, I AM. Know I AM and you will know and live eternal life abundant today.

Be wise. Hear and do My Word…. Come to Me, My children, for you do not know what the morrow holds…… Come to Me and rest in My peace….Allow I AM to abide in you as you rest and partake of the tree of life. Be Mine for I AM always yours.   I AM here and waiting with My arms still outstretched for you today, yea, even while it is today.

SELAH!

 

 

 

and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though its waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah….  

There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High. God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, just at the break of dawn.

The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice the earth melted. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. 

Come, behold the works of the Lord, who has made desolations in the earth. He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariot in the fire.

Be still, and know that I AM God; I will be exalted among the nations,  will be exalted in the earth! The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah,         ( Psalm 46).

 

If we believe His word, our expression and life is:  Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples! Shout to God with the voice of triumph! For the Lord Most High is awesome; He is a great King over all the earth.

He will subdue the peoples under us, and the nations under our feet.  He will choose our inheritance for us the excellence of Jacob whom He loves. 

God has gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.  Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to our King, sing praises! For God is King of all the earth; sing praises with understanding.

God reigns over the nations; God sits on His holy throne. The princes of the people have gathered together the people of the God of Abraham. For the shields of the earth belong to God; He is greatly exalted!, ( Psalm 47).

 

Great  is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in His holy mountain. Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. God is in her palaces; He is known as her refuge.

For behold, the kings assembled, they passed by together. They saw it, and so they marveled; they were troubled, they hastened away. Fear took hold of them there, and pain, as of a woman in birth pangs, as when you break the ships of Tarshish with an east wind. 

As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of our God: God will establish it forever.  We have thought, O God, on Your lovingkindness, in the midst of Your temple. According to Your name, O God, so is Your praise to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness.

Let Mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of Your judgments.  Walk about Zion, and go all around her. Count her towers; mark well her bulwarks; consider her palaces; that you may tell it to the generation following. For this is God, our God forever and ever; He will be our Guide even to death, ( Psalm 48).

Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people, ( Proverbs 14:34).   As written in Genesis 11:4, the people wanted to build a building going up to the heavens and make a name for themselves……. The Lord called it- Shinar- Babylon.   Man and his plans without God are all about building himself up and his kingdom….. Man’s fame, name and fortune…… The three things Jesus Christ triumphed over  in His trial of temptation in the wilderness…… We are either found in the wilderness still fighting the same temptations of our Lord or we are found in the Holiest of All, as His presence is before us.  We have either died to the world and the world died to us or we are alive in the world and the world is still very actively alive to us.

We will be judged at the End by the Beginning…..The measure leading to the fullness of Christ will be our scale or banner.  So after all the shaking and baking and the fires, we will be found….. in Him….. our only righteousness- Jesus Christ…. This  is the measure of grading- Christ in us the hope of glory.

The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life to turn away from the snares of death,              ( Proverbs 14:27). The city of God is glad from the streams of His river, the holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High.

No grave trouble will overtake the righteous but the wicked shall be filled with evil,      ( Proverbs 12:21).  This is the other alternative……Selah!

I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or any angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. 

For do I now persuade men or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ. But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ,         ( Galatians 1:6-12).

 

As written in the Revelation of our Lord, our King, Jesus Christ is here walking among us, His bride, His city….. always.   As written by John in the Gospel of John and the first letter of John…… In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him nothing was made that was made, ( John 1:1-3).

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life- the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us- that which we have seen and heard and declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ, ( 1 John 1:1-3.)

As written by Paul in Colossians 3:11: where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all.  

Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father, ( 1 John 2:24).  

We may acknowledge the Beginning is Christ Jesus, the Word of God and as He has spoken in Revelation chapter 1, He is the End.  So can we conclude the middle is workmanship of the Holy Spirit in making  Christ all and in all or they are not.   As I mentioned our King is walking among us, what is He seeing with eyes of blazing fire? We are complete in Him, not in our flesh, nor our earthly desires and our selfish desires…… The fire of His Spirit burns away the chaff and brings forth His image within. Christ is our only hope of glory.

When Jesus Christ walked the earth, He announced His Person in the synogogue as written in Luke.  The people did not receive His announcement then, are we receiving His Word today? As written judgment begins in the house of God……Heaven’s Food came to earth, but they were so set in their earthly desires. All their hope were set on the lower level, the natural life, that they missed Him walking in their midst.

Do we know what the judgment of God is for such a time as this as He is walking today through our buildings and  services?  The shakings will be against the false strongholds that try to stand against the Word and Will of God.

There were judges of God which helped Israel out of their oppressions from the enemy. They were in the bondage of the enemy due to their worshipping of idols, ( self), and allowing the ways of the world to enter into their lifestyle.   After they cried out to Him, He would rise up a judge to lead them out of bondage through overcoming the enemy.  First, the crying and repenting in the heart of the nation to their Almighty.

Most of us think of judgment as horrible, but in the Lord, we are His children and want to be shown what is wrong so we may get stronger in Christ and abide in the Lord….As written in the Psalms….. He desires truth in our inner parts……  Christ is our only hope of glory.

Earth has seeped into the church and her services—-blocking heaven. God has never approved or shared His glory with flesh.  The Gospel of Jesus Christ is simple.  The Holy Spirit keeps our focus on the Lord Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit keeps Christ as He is, the Beginning and the End.  He is our only help. If  God thought we needed some self help therapy He would have manifested as a Psychiatrist.   We needed a Savior from ourselves and He died with all our sins and generations of iniquities upon Him.  He made a way for us to live free in Him of sin and bondage to death and its ways.

If there is sin and bondage, then the enemy is in charge and not the Holy Spirit and the Word of God  in and through  our lives. Are we to argue with the Word? Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor know Him. Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous, ( 1 John 3:6-7).

Can we go on a cruise if we are sick or tied to a weight in our home?  Well, we have in our midst, some in the body of Christ, our members are in dire straights, in prison, hiding in refuge…… They count on our supplying their need  same as the collection that was taken up by Paul in his day…… Did he say go ahead and go party on a cruise while the other members are starving and in need of our help and prayers……..  How can we go cruising and partying when we have a leg out of joint or a broken arm or neck….. It would be very hard for us to have a good time if we are hurting…. Well, there are members, a lot of them, suffering now……. Are we the body of Christ or not?  Do we not share in the sufferings of Christ?  Does not scripture state that if one member suffers we all do….. Do we? Are we alive to their cries, their needs. Are we willing to lay aside our self indulgences to feed and help refugees find shelter?

Are we willing to die to the world and live unto Christ and our brethren?  We are rejoicing in the Lord, but we are also aware of the suffering and the endurance of our family that need our help.   Can we ignore  our family in other nations and keep on with our deafness without paying a price?

Deliver those who are drawn toward death, and hold back those stumbling to the slaughter. If you say, surely we did not know this. Does not He who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul does He not know it? And will He not render to each man according to his deeds?

Indeed scripture has come to pass as the Lord spoke:

But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days of Noah before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark….. and they did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will be the coming of the Son of Man be.

Then two women will be in the field; one will be taken and other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.

Watch, therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the  thief would come, he would have watched his house and not allowed his house to be broken into.

Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

Who then is a faithful servant and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season?

Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing. Assuredly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all his goods.

But if that evil servant says in his heart, My master is delaying his coming, and begins to  beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards, the master of the servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is not aware of, and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, ( Matthew 24:37-51).

Is this the time to party and go cruising or is this the time as the Lord spoke  of when His disciples would be fasting and praying?  Is it life as usual or do we hear the Spirit speaking to us today….. to mend our ways back to the Lord at all costs to our weak flesh. Find our hearts desire in seeking His face and sitting with Him….. Our true purpose and joy- The Desire of the Nations!

Does not Wisdom cry out and understanding lift up her voice she takes her stand on the top of the high hill beside the way, where the paths meet, ——( crossroads)….. Let us again ask for our stony heart to be removed and replace our heart with a heart of flesh as written….. Lord, do it again in Your abundant mercy. Holy Spirit, may you find us pliable in Your hands to do our King’s good pleasure and will.

Now I do not believe the Lord meant for weddings to stop or that children should not be born…. at all!  God would be going against His own Word.   I believe He was telling us we, His children, are a peculiar  bunch. We know the signs of the times. We see with the eyes of the King and know His heart.  We walk in a different path and are wonders and signs in this world.  We are the signs there is more to this life than is seen with the natural eye. We are the warning of God’s existence and coming wrath on the sons of disobedience…… We point to the hope of our peace and joy in a very corruptible world, our Savior and King, the Son of Man, Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten of the Father in heaven.

As this was written to Israel’s coming judgment, let it be not found in our King’s eyes reflecting what He is watching among us: An astonishing and horrible thing has been committed in the land: the prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule by their own power; and My people love to have it so, but what will you do in the end?, ( Jeremiah 5:31).

We have been given a great salvation and life in the Lord Jesus Christ. We can shout and praise Him forever because He is worthy…… The King loves His beloved……We are honored to be called by Him and to live for Him and His body, all the members.  We lift up our voice and shout to the God we love and serve with a voice of triumph. Praise Him all the heavens and all who are on the earth.

Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ, as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, Be holy for I AM holy.

And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear, knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver and gold from your aimless conduct received by the tradition of your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.

He indeed was forordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you who through Him believe in God who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, having been born again, not with corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever,      ( 1 Peter 1:13-23).

No matter what country we live in, God’s people are the city on the hill for each nation or tribe. We are the light of the world, so let us make sure we are the light from heaven with Christ living within and the cross written on our hearts and minds…. We have died to the world and the world has died to us…..and our boast is in the cross of Jesus Christ! Our home and hope is our God, the One True Great God, our Refuge.

Let our praises and services be full of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. Let us share the One who is our Beginning and End.  Let us share the ways of the Christ in us and how He is ascending and we……. well, we cannot be found but in His righteousness……For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain, ( Philippians 1:21).…..

Behold, the Lamb of God…….. Behold, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah!……. Behold, His body and His temple and His bride, His city…….shining with the light of their King! Alleluia! Praise God! Praise the Son! Praise the Holy Spirit!  Our God who is great among the nations!

Our God is our refuge and our hope and our life. Praise be to His glory and Name forever and ever!

Selah!

 

My Beloved,

Hear My Word and let it find rest in your soul today, yea, even today! I AM is not far off, nay, I AM is closer than your breath. I AM!

Take heed to My friend, Simon, the Cyrenian, who came to a crossroad and picked up My cross. He heeded well to the Word spoken: if anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.

For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?  Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul ?

There is no greater love than for one to lay down their lives for another. Yea, you will find this bold quality in My friends. What is done in secret, will be rewarded and shouted from the heights.  What is made known for man has received it’s reward. Those who do their deeds for My eyes and glory alone, their reward is with I AM.  They grow in like measure.

The steps you take should be found on the trust of  I AM and the Word spoken through the ages. Many streams come before you. Only One Stream makes you full of joy, the River flowing from My throne. The waters from My River cleanse and purify your desires to be as Mine. They heighten your resurrected life found in I AM.  The increase your boundaries in I AM.  Your fruit will increase in measure as is I AM within you increases……. by My Spirit says I AM.

Let your heart flow with I AM’s river, the living waters that bring the healing to all the nations.

Be found faithful in I AM.

SELAH!

 

 

They did not  love their lives to the death,                ( Revelation 12:11).

The prophet Ezekiel had a large incentive to speak to the people all the counsel of God as the Lord spoke to him.  Again, we cannot have a buffet attitude with the Lord or the Word of God……

He is a King and there is no democracy with our King. We cannot pick and chose what we believe nor what we speak and live. We obey Him at all costs…. even death….. but, in our death- there is life and life abundant. Only our God could give us victory in life and death.

Ezekiel’s incentive to obey is written in Ezekiel 3:18-21, When I say to the wicked, You shall surely die, and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand.

Yet, if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.

Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die; because you did not give him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand.

Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man that the righteous should not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he took warning; also you will  have delivered your soul.

For the Word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account, (Hebrews 4:12-13).

When the Truth, the Word of God is spoken, there are reactions from the ears which are listening……. The Holy Spirit is here to remind us of the Words of I AM. He has been sent to convict the world of sin, righteousness and judgment as written in John 16. So as we speak the Word of God, the Holy Spirit is busy doing His job in the hearts of the ones whose ears are listening.

The reactions written in Bible of  all types of people are just two: either they with softened  heart  repent and turn to the Lord or they have extreme anger.  Both type hearers have heard the Word of God and have been affected by the Holy Spirit.  If they were not affected then there would be no repented hearts or angered hearts……Even if some hearts walk on hearing the Word. The work of the Holy Spirit is upon that one for the Word has been planted, it will bring forth conviction and fruit unto our God.

Nonetheless, we are to speak, write, text, email the Word of God, the whole counsel of God. The Word of God is the Medicine we need and the Holy Spirit is the Needle that ministers the Medicine to into our system.  The Grace of God is His majesty revealed unto us.

The Spirit of Grace is powerful reflecting again the strength of God’s love to mankind. But the Holy Spirit is not to be despised nor the Words that are given from Him, especially revealing the counsel of God, the revelation of Jesus Christ, the God Man who has been appointed as Judge of all.

And when they had come to him, he said to them: You know, from the first day that I came to Asia, in what manner I always lived among you, serving the Lord will all humility, with many tears and trials which happened to me by the plotting of the Jews; how I kept back nothing that was helpful, but proclaimed it to you, and taught you publicly and from house to house, testifying to Jew, and also to Greeks, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. 

And see, now I go bound in the Spirit to Jerusalem not knowing the things that will happen to me there, except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that chains and tribulations await me. 

But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus , to testify to the gospel of the grace of God. 

And indeed, now I know that you all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, will see my face no more. Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men. For I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God.

Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock among  which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He has purchased with His own blood.

For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves. Therefore, watch, and remember for three years I did not cease to warn everyone day and night with tears.

So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give an inheritance among all those who are sanctified. I have coveted no one’s silver or gold or apparel. Yes, you yourselves know that these hands have provided for my necessities, and for those who were with me. I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, it is more blessed to give than to receive. And when he said these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all. 

Even so the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should live from the gospel. But I have used none of these things that it should be done so to me; for it would be better for me to die then that anyone should make my boasting void. For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel! For if I do this willingly, I have a reward; but if against my will, I have been entrusted with a stewardship. What is my reward then? That when I preach the gospel, I may present the gospel of Christ without charge, that I may not abuse my authority in the gospel.

For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more; and to the Jews I became a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law; to those who without law, as without law ( not being without the law toward God, but under the law in Christ), that I might win those who are without the law; to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might be all means save some. Now this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I may be a partaker of it with you, ( 1 Corinthians 9:14-23).

Paul lived  in the reality of whom He was commissioned by….not men, but the Lord called him. He also was aware of the great responsibility to preach the Gospel that was upon his life.  We have no excuse but to take Paul’s audacious example of living for Jesus Christ.

When we have seen the King and all His beauty, we cannot but breath, eat and walk with the awareness of  His name and fame to be known to all.   There will always be those who receive and not receive the Word of God spoken but that is between the Lord and the individuals….

As written in 2 Corinthians 2:14-17, Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us, diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.

To the one we are the aroma of death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And who is sufficient for these things? For we are not, as so many peddling the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as from God, we speak in the sight of God, in Christ.

The fragrance of Christ is not unlike the bathing of myrrh and oil that Esther ( the Book of Esther) experienced before she could be presented to the king.  Myrrh is symbolic of the Word of God and of course, the oil is of the Holy Spirit.   We are living the Word of God by the power of the Holy Spirit. We are manifesting Christ today.

There are others also manifesting the antichrist today……. But the plan of the antichrist as in the days of Esther and Daniel…… seem to fall void…… The pit or scheme of the enemies against God’s people always fall into their own traps…..God will not be mocked as written in Galatians, we will reap what we sow….. if we sow into the Spirit, we will reap life. However, if we sow into the flesh, we will reap death.

So we present ourselves before the King of kings and Lord of lords and petition for those not to perish. Then we go forth with His scepter, representing His government and His Lordship and present the peoples with His Food, His provision. Our life is not our own…..

When men and women join the military, they have signed away their rights to choose to go here and there, they are now under their commander…… so are we, if we are truly of the King.   Do we hear and see the Spirit of God not unlike the picture of  Uncle Sam saying—— I WANT YOU!, calling us today!

The breath of the Spirit is blowing on His people awaking the dry bones and putting the strength and armor of the Spirit of God upon them to be fitly prepared for the days ahead.  We do not fight in the flesh but our warfare is by the Spirit—– against principalities and powers who are bound by the name of Jesus Christ.  The battle is the Lord’s but  we are being gathered in His name for such a time  as this……..Can He count on you?

A large difference between the days of Esther and ours regarding the days ahead, we have the King’s hand or scepter upon us, the Holy Spirit. We have His seal and approval already to advance. We bring the Testimony of Jesus Christ, the Word of God to all for His fame and His name, even unto death….. Remember if we die, we live, only our God.  Let us live boldly as Paul, our example, of one whose eyes saw the King.

We know the promise, if we, His people, turn from our evil and wicked ways and seek the Lord, He will come and heal our land. The dry bones will rise and put on the strength of the Lord Jesus Christ and turn the world upside down.

Our Lord’s blood is shed upon us and let us not tarry in our devotion to His cause and allow others blood be on our hands.  We are all ministers and ambassadors of the gospel of Jesus Christ…… We are not here to get a name or fame or fortune……Remember we have died and we live in Him now. It is by His name, Jesus Christ, that every knee will bow, not our name, only His……

Why does man want glory from men when we have the greatest glory, Christ in us, given to us…… We have been  given the love and blessing of the Holy Spirit from our Heavenly Father because we have answered His call to believe in His Son.  Why does man still seek  his own glory from men?

We are all brothers and sisters and our head is Jesus Christ. We have the Holy Spirit, beloved,   Think and meditate on this, we have been given the Holy Spirit within us twenty four seven.  Only our God did in the inconceivable and the impossible making His scripture in us manifest today! All things are possible with God! All things are possible!  Praise Him forever!

Even dry bones will arise  as an army and will conceive a heart of desire towards pleasing our King!— in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!

All praise and honor be to our God!

Praise be to the Father!

Praise to be to the Son!

Praise be to the Spirit!

Our Godhead, Three in One!

All the earth praise Him!

All the earth praise Him!

Let’s remind the earth that all His attributes are not hidden and are manifest to all today!  Pray they may have the veil of unbelief torn from their eyes today.  We speak and our God will do the rest……. as He has done with us. We are His workmanship created for His glory.  We are covered by the blood of the Lamb. We are filled with His Word, His testimony and we do not hold our life more precious than death in the Lord.

For all must appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences…….

For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then we all died; and He died for all that those who live shall no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again, (2 Corinthians 5:14-15.)                           ( Next two verses are so awesome, but that is not what the text is about- but go ahead and read them….. The life we live now in the Spirit of God is beyond this world!).

Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on. Yes, says the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors and their works follow them,                                  ( Revelation 14:13).      

Come, beloved of the Lord, let all behold the beauty of His bride,  Christ in us, our hope of glory!  Even so, come Lord Jesus! Come!

And the Spirit and the bride say, Come ! And let him who hears say, Come! Let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely!,                ( Revelation 22:17).

Let us be not tickling but speaking the Word of God  from the Spirit as a double edged sword.  Let us live clean  by His blood  and be clean in the Spirit  before the eyes of the Lord.

Preach the Word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching, ( 2 Timothy 4:2).

God said if we do our part He will do His- and heal our land!   Keep on praying and believing and watching!

Selah!

 

Children,

You have come! You sit before I AM. You are cherished in My sight. You do well. Know Me. Know I AM’s voice. Know I AM’s whispers. Know I AM’s way. Stay in the Light for I AM.   I AM is the Light for the path of your feet to trod.  You do well to behold I AM. There is a refuge in your beholding.

My beloved David allowed deception to enter in his heart, for his sight was on the earth. He was caught to count the multitudes in his kingdom.  He allowed the root of pride to bud and blossom.  The loss of  70,000  people was his harvest of  evil blossomed. Destruction is awaiting at your footstep if you do not hear and obey My voice.

Your gaze and study beholding I AM is your refuge. I AM Refuge and your Stronghold. He who sees Me sees Him who sent Me.  Be prepared to receive heavenly things and then you will perceive the Truth. All else will be as chaff to you. You will allow the wind to blow the chaff away.  Be rooted in I AM, the Truth. Allow your ground to be full in harvest of I AM.   Be about the My business. The increase of My Spirit, I AM within you.   The same Spirit that arose I AM is within you to quicken you in I AM.  Then your walk and ways are protected by the hearing of My voice. I AM’s way is narrow but I AM enjoys the fruit to My glory.

I AM has spoken through My servant in the past and I AM speaks now regarding My vine. I AM watches and tends My vine. This vine is only for bearing fruit. This vine is not workable in building or keeping. If it does not produce, the vine is cut down and thrown into the fire.

I AM judged in past days the fruit that came from My vine was wild.  Behold today, even today, I AM the true vine and you are the branches.  I AM the vine, the fruit that bears is of I AM. All fruit of I AM is eternal and is of I AM……. You are the branches filled with I AM to bear fruit for My glory……..which is eternal.

Hear and learn: Blessed are those who die in the Lord from now on….Yes, says My Spirit, that they may rest from their labors  and their works follow them…… You behold I AM. In this you do well.  I AM  is the same always for you……. Strive to enter the kingdom of God, then remain. Do not let deception poison your heel.

I AM longs to protect My harvest, alas, you pull yourself out of My hold to go your own way……. Do you doubt My love? Do you believe My arm is shortened today, even today? Ahhh, keep I AM, the Word of God, in your heart with all diligence for out of  your heart springs your life, life eternal.  Many are the roads that lead to death and destruction….. My Spirit is here to adhere your feet to keep in I AM…..

In your younger days, you clung to I AM, for this- you did well. Then My Spirit took up dwelling within you for you sought for help, you desired more of I AM.    Then your bud began to spring forth  in I AM, as you ate and increased in I AM’s  love. The delicate flower blossomed as you absorbed the Son’s rays and rain upon you.

I AM rejoices in the fruit which bears from trust in I AM. You abide from My tending you through the storms and drought and danger.  I AM delights in the rich cluster of My love found in My city, My bride.

I AM the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

I AM has given you ears to hear My voice. Hear and live My life abundantly.  I AM is here for all….. Come to Me, My arms are still stretching out for you! Hear My call of your name. Yes, you.   I AM has died and has risen so you may be with Me always. I AM loves you. Come to Me!

SELAH!

 

 

 

 

.

Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak same thing,  and there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment, ( 1 Corinthians 1:9-10).

For I am determined not to anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.  I was with you in weakness, in fear and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be  in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known they would not have crucified the Lord of glory, But it is written: Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.

But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things to spiritual.

But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.  For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ, ( 1 Corinthians 2:2-16).

That which was from the beginning, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life- the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us- that which we have seen and heard and declare to you, that you may also have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. And these things we write to you that your joy may be full, ( 1 John 1:1-4).

I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and in you all. But to each one of us grace was given according to measure of Christ’s gift, ( Ephesians 4:1-7).

This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of their ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. But you have not so learned Christ, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness, ( Ephesians 4:17-24).

We all wait for the day, at least, I think we do…. when our days are fulfilled here on this earth and we are with the Lord. The day we see His smile regarding our fruit bearing for His kingdom.  How will it be?

If we have a loved one who has gone away for awhile, we may miss him or her, yet, we have experienced their love, their intimacy….. their hugs and kisses.  We remember fondly their scent of perfume or cologne…. We remember because we have been in a close intimate relationship with them….. But those memories are never as wonderful as the uniting of our hearts together again in the person.

Our fellowship with our God by the Holy Spirit is wonderful.  We experience His presence in a very intimate way- thanks be to our Lord Jesus Christ and His cross and resurrection.  We live in this relationship in the Spirit and by the Spirit. We still get hugs and kisses. We get lifted in His embrace……yet, don’t we all want more of Him?  His love and His embrace of each one of His children is quite profound and without words to explain but it is GRAND. Thanksgiving and honor for Your great neverending never failing love for Your children, Almighty God and Father.  Our God is Spirit. There is the Person of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. However, the Three are One, the Holy One. We worship God in the Spirit and the Truth of the Living God……   So we have all of the Godhead in the spirit within us always…… We cannot see God but God sees us…… Yet, we experience God all around us by His created world and by His Spirit within us and by His Spirit upon us…..

If we feel far off from the Lord, it is not because He has moved, but we have moved with our selfish ways of pursuit.

When we leave the house…… Our mind is still set to return where we belong. In fact, when we leave it is usually to either provide or get something to care for the house… Why? Well, we belong there. It is our home, our life and family is there.  Our intention ends up to be big circle….. We may leave physically the house, where we dwell but our heart is still there….but we return in person like a boomerang!    The same way is one whose heart is all in Christ, Christ in the heart…… The heart is always drawn towards the Lord. Wondering of the Lord’s heart. Why? We live there. The Lord is where Home is in the Spirit.  We may be preoccupied with living His purpose but it is for the Lord and we cannot wait to return to our Home, to rest with Him and fellowship regarding the days at hand.

Now, the greatest gift  when we arise from our place of study, prayer,….. we do not leave God there.  He is with us- twenty four seven!  Worshiping God in the Spirit is available to us twenty four- seven.  We are never separated. Though we may not see with our natural eyes the Persons of the Trinity, it does not mean, God is not present with us….The life in the Spirit of God in which we abide and walk out through our life in the flesh, will not change much when we leave the mortal body. How we live with the Lord today and tomorrow, will be how we live with Him through out eternity.  So…..

In the military, especially the special forces, the training is tactics in survival. The armed forces job is make sure the ones in training are able to handle and walk through any situation and overcome the difficulty or attack.  The military want men and women that can stand on their feet, stand their ground and rely on their trained senses to overcome and survive.  So if they are separated from their camp, they will overcome……. The Holy Spirit wants us to lean on Him for all things, just as a military personnel will rely on their trained skills to survive and to overcome valiantly. We know His voice. We know His ways. We want to learn more about Him….. We know when He says go and when He says stay.  We sense His will on this situation and His perception on that…… We receive a word of knowledge here and there for helping and protecting the other saints and ourselves. We have trained our senses to shut-up! We have renewed our mind to the gentle nudging and discernment of the Spirit of God within us.  We are training to be of one mind and of one heart with our Heavenly Father, the Son and the Spirit of God.  The fulfillment of Jesus Christ’s prayer in John 17: 23, I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one; that the world may know You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

Most women ask their husbands or boyfriends- what are you thinking about?    The Holy Spirit loves when we ask why?  Why did You say the Word in that particular way  in the scriptures?  Why did You have me read this today?   What are You showing me?  Then we get to wait….. for the revelation or instruction that is coming from our Teacher and Friend.  The Holy Spirit will reveal Jesus Christ to us.   He will keep us in the path of righteousness and holiness.  He is our Creator and Lover of our soul. He is our Heavenly Father and yet, He is the Mighty I AM.   He is all and all and in all……. We have in God all we need today, tomorrow and forever. If we are missing something, we are missing that in the Great I AM. He is our Sufficiency. There is not one thing we are lacking as we abide in Him…… He is our everything and our all.  He is a God who wants us to have Him as our all.  What love. What kindness. What a God we worship.  Only our God…… Only our God.  Our Jehovah, yet, He calls us His friends.  Even us!

We have Him now, beloved. We do not have to wait until we hang up our mortal flesh.  We have Him NOW. We have His smile now. We have His correction now. We have HIM! We have His embrace. We have Him lifting us up today!  We are seated with Him in the heavenlies today….. Let us let the Word in the Bible become alive with the fellowship of the Holy Spirit today…..

When we let go of the control and man made traditions, we are free in the hands of the One who is our Promise from the Father. When we yearn for knowing God, which is eternal life, we will know we are living in eternity today.  We will live with heavenly attributes of our Father and joy which no man can take.  We will be free to dance with the King and know we are the beloved as His bride, His city.  We are His beauty for the world to behold that they may come to the King of all kings. The Greatest Lord of all lords wants us to  be with Him where He is today…..even us!  He has made the way by His Spirit !

Paul spoke to us in Ephesians chapter 4…… if we walk in the way of the world, we have not learned Christ….. If we have seen the King, we will be taught by the Christ and will walk in union with Him. As written in 1 John 3:24, Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us. 

The Holy Spirit reminds us of the Words spoken by Jesus Christ. If we do not know the Word of God, how will we know the Spirit of the Living God is speaking to us? If we do not recognize the Word spoken by the Spirit who is teaching, leading and guiding us into all righteousness, how will we know to hear and obey?

Oh, Heavenly Father, we beckon You to come like an eagle and with Your mighty wings of Your Spirit, shake the nest of  Your people, and have them shake awake to learn to fly in Your Spirit today, we ask in Jesus Christ’s name. Amen.  We are sorry for organizing Your body for our plans and agendas. We are sorry, we have arrogantly thought we can keep You in a box and we do all Your work without You.   Please renew Your Spirit upon the face of the earth, so we may live  and bear eternal fruit for Your glory. Give us more of Your grace again so we may magnify the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to this generation and the next generation. We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen

All the ends of the world, shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations shall worship before You. For the kingdom is the Lord’s and He rules over the nations. All the prosperous of the earth shall eat and worship; all those who go down to the dust shall bow before Him, even he who cannot keep himself alive. A posterity shall serve Him. It will be recounted of the Lord to the next generation, they will come and declare His righteousness to a people who will be born, that He has done this, ( Psalm 22:27-31).

We are wise to take the table our King has prepared for us as we live in the wilderness before the presence of our enemies……. Take and eat and know the Lord is good today!  However, outside in the natural may resemble the wilderness- the outer court, but we have entered the land of the King, the inner court- the Holy Place. We have entered the Kingdom of God, where His banqueting table is still before us. The more we feast on the table in His courts of the Lord, the Word of God, then understanding in the fear of the Lord and a great desire to dwell only in the Holiest will manifest within.  The Word made alive in us, His witnesses of Him.

While we have today and the wood is green, let us partake of the Feast of  the Lord . Why is man always repeating his ignorance in waiting until the wood is dry and there is no water to partake of? As it is written the Lord spoke of this day, the days we live in- today!   We will not thirst as we drink from the river of living waters flowing from the throne of God. We hear the heartbeat and heartbreak of our Heavenly Father!  The Holy Spirit came to dwell within His chosen on the day of Pentecost. The Holy Spirit worked His work in the Words of God spoken by His witnesses….. The Holy Spirit penetrated the hard hearts to melt into wax so they repented and turned to the Lord.  The witnesses of the Lord all lived in one accord……  with the Holy Spirit directing their Words and their steps…… Let us live as the Lord wills for us for such a time as this.

So he answered and said to me: This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel:  not by might, nor by power but by My Spirit says the Lord of hosts,

( Zechariah 4:6).

Selah!

My Children,

The field of this generation has matured as fields of  past generations have been fulfilled. The reapers are coming to bring the wheat into the barn and destroy the tares. Do you not know and do you not see the works of My hand through the times of the earth.  You accept the seasons and their change into the next.   Do you not perceive the change from summer to autumn  to winter in My Spirit for the days to come?   Alas, when you behold I AM as in a mirror, you are being grown and matured into the same image as I AM by My Spirit….. Alas, I AM has bestowed on you One great hope in My plan for My children.  When the storms come as they will, children, hear and obey I AM.  Those that have built their home on the Rock  will be standing in My presence.  As I AM has spoken, where I AM so shall be My servant.  Christ is all and in all as I AM has spoken.

I AM has created the gentle breeze cooling your brow in the heat of the day. Alas, I AM has also, created the whirlwind which tears down…….. but alas, the land is cleared for new harvest. Behold, My works upon the sons of men.  I AM builds up and I AM tears down. I AM establishes and I AM allows the storms to plow through.  I AM.   Take heed to the Words I AM has spoken of the seed as the Word of God and the world as its field.   Each of your hearts are a seed that is planted and growing……. Do you know what you are growing? Do you know what your harvest will produce? Alas, what your eyes behold and what your ears perceive is the plant you are growing.

The greatness in the highest count among men may be the lowest value to I AM. I AM desires the love of your heart, your mind, your will. The synagogues were filled in My day on the earth, alas, they did not know Me. They did not believe, when I AM searches the hearts and minds of this generation, will I AM find faith?  I AM manifests Himself to those who love Me.  As I AM walked through the temple, a place that I AM placed His name upon…… A place where I AM searched for the ones who loved Me….. I AM found abominations. I AM has spoken greed and covetousness are growing an evil plant within.

Tend to the intentions of your heart, for out of it comes the actions of eternal life or death. Your intentions are the seeds and your actions further the growth of the seeds.  I AM has washed all the world with My blood.  Is it wise to not to fall into the hands of the Living God, I AM.  Do not forsake My mercy falling upon you this day.  I AM has spoken and heed My Spirit who is speaking to you today, even today. Do not forsake My grace. Do not forsake the strength of My arm revealed to bring you back to I AM. Forsake all evil and live.  My Word has not been kept hidden but is known by you so you may live from My highway of holiness.

The power of I AM’s Word is active and performing My purpose for which you also have been called.  Do not forsake such a time as this to repent and come to I AM.  My arms are still outstretched for you even today. Come to Me all you are heavy laden with your guilt and sin……Forsake your evil ways and cling to  I AM.  You have been forgiven. Eternity shows you clean and white as the new fallen snow but your heart is living as  I AM not.   It is not wise to lack understanding and forsake the grace of the Great I AM this day. You may live without I AM in your sight, but you are in I AM’s.  Come to Me!

SELAH!
