The beast of the field shall honor me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.

This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise, (Isaiah 43:20-21).

You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord,
    “and my servant whom I have chosen,
so that you may know and believe me
    and understand that I am he.
Before me no god was formed,
    nor will there be one after me.
 I, even I, am the Lord,
    and apart from me there is no savior.
 I have revealed and saved and proclaimed—
    I, and not some foreign god among you.
You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “that I am God.
     Yes, and from ancient days I am he.
No one can deliver out of my hand.
    When I act, who can reverse it?”, ( Isaiah 43:10-13).

Listen to Him speak, you hear His voice speak again: Let My sons and daughters come to Me and worship I AM in Spirit and Truth.

Singing a tune of having resurrection power flowing through their veins was bounding down the hallway with His new ones…. They all joined as one singing, Alleluia to the One and only King….. Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess He is God.

Little One was shocked they knew this truth, but then He thanked Holy Spirit for working His work in them so abundantly for time was short.

Okay, let me read this to you now. In Hebrews, H E B R E W S, chapter 12, verses 22-24:

But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem.

You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven.

Little Person started now.

We have come to Mount Zion because you are now a born child of God.

Now within Mount Zion there is a lot of joy and celebration surrounding our King. Just as we have come to Mount Zion. However, we are also coming to Mount Zion. 

In fact, when you decided to receive Jesus Christ into your heart and crowned Him King over you…. Heaven, all of heaven rejoiced…. They see us as they cheer us on…. Is not that cool?  

They rejoice over you.  You all have a huge family awaiting you and cheering for you.

Not only that, but Jesus Christ lives to intercede on your behalf as well as Holy Spirit also cries out for us…. If our King and His Spirit are praying for us, we will cross the finish line running in the fullness of our God and His grace…. Amen? God is for us… He is more for us than sometimes we are…..We must keep tuned into Him…. He will always lead us within His victory.

Father God, may You find us complete in Your Son…. We love You and thank You!

AMEN!!, came the blustering shout that could have even awakened the dead!

Wait, maybe it did! Praise God!

One disciple spoke, the only thing I saw was people trying to kill me. Nobody celebrated me until a little over two weeks ago. Thanks to you all here.

Well, Little Person spoke, they missed a great opportunity to know you, the real you.

Alot of people project their own stuff on others…..King David, before he was anointed for king, was told by his dad to go find his brothers who were fighting the enemies of Israel. He was to take them some bread and other stuff and see how they were doing.

Well, David got there. He had a warrior spirit within him. He had spent alot of time with God in the pastures watching over the sheep. He witnessed all of Israel’s army in a tizzy. They were frightened by a giant who kept declaring threats against Israel.

David because he leaned on God said who is this person to think he can defy the living God and His army.

Well, his brothers got into David’s face…. with things like who do you think you are-squirt. He was the youngest.

David had stood up to say what will the person get who knocks this guy down? They told David.

David was ready to take down the giant……and his brothers were shown how cowardly they were so they threw David some put downs. But David knew His God and took down the giant with one stone that ended up in his head.

The point being stand on what you know about God and what He is and has been to you……Let the naysayers alone and keep your eyes on the prize…. Our King’s smile and His thumb up at the end of our days is a great reward.

Do not listen to the talkers who never get off the couch because they are afraid. You are brave and full of the courage of God because He is backing you and has your back…….. Okay?……

We celebrate all of you just as God and all of heaven does. Okay? Got that now?

YES!!! Praise and Alleluia to God!! bellowed again through the halls.

Jesus came to die for you to live……

That is love my brothers and sisters.

Jesus poured out His life to show you God’s great love for all of you and mankind.

You are loved.  You are greatly, beyond our human mind can grasp, loved.

I love you all here.  We can love others now because He has poured His love into our hearts.

We now have God’s love to love Him above all else.

We now can love our neighbors as we love ourselves. Even when they treat us wrong, we do not retaliate…. God handles our battles…. and we get to see the results.

Most important, His love for you is endless and will carry and keep you through all your days.

By the way, He already has carried you to this day. He has been watching over you waiting for the day you would look His way and say yes.

See how you and all of you are very valuable now?

Yes Sir, replied the disciple wiping away the water on his face that came from the disciple’s eyes.

Remember the door to your room, when you closed it, you entered into His kingdom?

Do not forget that you are now in His kingdom and His kingdom is in you. You are in His plane, remember?

Let’s read aloud Romans 8, R O M A N S, chapter 8:

Therefore, [there is] now no condemnation (no adjudging guilty of wrong) for those who are in Christ Jesus, who live [and] walk not after the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit.

For the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being] has freed me from the law of sin and of death.

 For God has done what the Law could not do, [its power] being weakened by the flesh [the entire nature of man without the Holy Spirit]. Sending His own Son in the guise of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, [God] condemned sin in the flesh [subdued, overcame, deprived it of its power over all who accept that sacrifice],

 So that the righteous and just requirement of the Law might be fully met in us who live and move not in the ways of the flesh but in the ways of the Spirit [our lives governed not by the standards and according to the dictates of the flesh, but controlled by the Holy Spirit].

 For those who are according to the flesh and are controlled by its unholy desires set their minds on and pursue those things which gratify the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit and are controlled by the desires of the Spirit set their minds on and seek those things which gratify the [Holy] Spirit.

 Now the mind of the flesh [which is sense and reason without the Holy Spirit] is death [death that comprises all the miseries arising from sin, both here and hereafter]. But the mind of the [Holy] Spirit is life and [soul] peace [both now and forever].

 [That is] because the mind of the flesh [with its carnal thoughts and purposes] is hostile to God, for it does not submit itself to God’s Law; indeed it cannot.

 So then those who are living the life of the flesh [catering to the appetites and impulses of their carnal nature] cannot please or satisfy God, or be acceptable to Him.

 But you are not living the life of the flesh, you are living the life of the Spirit, if the [Holy] Spirit of God [really] dwells within you [directs and controls you].

But if anyone does not possess the [Holy] Spirit of Christ, he is none of His [he does not belong to Christ, is not truly a child of God].

 But if Christ lives in you, [then although] your [natural] body is dead by reason of sin and guilt, the spirit is alive because of [the] righteousness [that He imputes to you].

 And if the Spirit of Him Who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, [then] He Who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also restore to life your mortal (short-lived, perishable) bodies through His Spirit Who dwells in you.

 So then, brethren, we are debtors, but not to the flesh [we are not obligated to our carnal nature], to live [a life ruled by the standards set up by the dictates] of the flesh.

 For if you live according to [the dictates of] the flesh, you will surely die.

But if through the power of the [Holy] Spirit you are [habitually] putting to death (making extinct, deadening) the [evil] deeds prompted by the body, you shall [really and genuinely] live forever.

 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

 For [the Spirit which] you have now received [is] not a spirit of slavery to put you once more in bondage to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption [the Spirit producing sonship] in [the bliss of] which we cry, Abba (Father)! Father!

 The Spirit Himself [thus] testifies together with our own spirit, [assuring us] that we are children of God.

 And if we are [His] children, then we are [His] heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ [sharing His inheritance with Him]; only we must share His suffering if we are to share His glory.

[But what of that?] For I consider that the sufferings of this present time (this present life) are not worth being compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us and for us and conferred on us!

 For [even the whole] creation (all nature) waits expectantly and longs earnestly for God’s sons to be made known [waits for the revealing, the disclosing of their sonship].

 For the creation (nature) was subjected to frailty (to futility, condemned to frustration), not because of some intentional fault on its part, but by the will of Him Who so subjected it—[yet] with the hope

That nature (creation) itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and corruption [and gain an entrance] into the glorious freedom of God’s children.

 We know that the whole creation [of irrational creatures] has been moaning together in the pains of labor until now.

 And not only the creation, but we ourselves too, who have and enjoy the firstfruits of the [Holy] Spirit [a foretaste of the blissful things to come] groan inwardly as we wait for the redemption of our bodies [from sensuality and the grave, which will reveal] our adoption (our manifestation as God’s sons).

 For in [this] hope we were saved. But hope [the object of] which is seen is not hope. For how can one hope for what he already sees?

 But if we hope for what is still unseen by us, we wait for it with patience and composure.

 So too the [Holy] Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance.

And He Who searches the hearts of men knows what is in the mind of the [Holy] Spirit [what His intent is], because the Spirit intercedes and pleads [before God] in behalf of the saints according to and in harmony with God’s will.

 We are assured and know that God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose.

 For those whom He foreknew [of whom He was aware and loved beforehand], He also destined from the beginning [foreordaining them] to be molded into the image of His Son [and share inwardly His likeness], that He might become the firstborn among many brethren.

 And those whom He thus foreordained, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified (acquitted, made righteous, putting them into right standing with Himself). And those whom He justified, He also glorified [raising them to a heavenly dignity and condition or state of being].

 What then shall we say to [all] this? If God is for us, who [can be] against us? [Who can be our foe, if God is on our side?]

 He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely and graciously give us all [other] things?

 Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect [when it is] God Who justifies [that is, Who puts us in right relation to Himself? Who shall come forward and accuse or impeach those whom God has chosen? Will God, who acquits us?]

 Who is there to condemn [us]? Will Christ Jesus (the Messiah), Who died, or rather Who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God actually pleading as He intercedes for us?

 Who shall ever separate us from Christ’s love? Shall suffering and affliction and tribulation? Or calamity and distress? Or persecution or hunger or destitution or peril or sword?

 Even as it is written, For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long; we are regarded and counted as sheep for the slaughter.

 Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us.

 For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers,

 Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Let’s read this again slowly. It is a lot but it is a lot of good news. 

If I were to tell one of Jesus Christ and what He did for mankind and our Heavenly’s Father purpose for His called-out ones, I would turn here.

This chapter tells of the never ending, never stopping strength of His love living within those He has called and chosen for Himself.

Our great King’s sacrifice opened up for us the way to God, our Father.

We are no longer outcasts and lost. 

A stray pup may have been called that before he was picked up by a compassionate person and adopted. Now the pup follows his owner. He never sees himself without a family.   The adopter has called him his own now.

A stray dog is not a stray any longer when it is adopted into a loving family. You will never see a stray dog run away from it’s loved ones. In fact, it will protect the family, because it sees this family as its own.

Same goes with us.

This chapter reveals how we stand before Him, we are accepted into His family.

His Spirit within us now shows we are His kids.

We call our heavenly Father now Abba, or Daddy. 

We now have been given His Spirit so we do not walk after the flesh and sin anymore.

We walk by His Spirit and dwell in His Spirit and are led by His Spirit.

We are now pursuing His kingdom as any son or daughter does caring after their dad’s business. All profit in His kingdom is found in gathering all for our King.

Our new found purpose now has become that He is found in the spirit of men and women made righteous by His blood.

Most of all His love will not be separated from us in any way.

We are in His love whether in dark or light.

We are in His love in summer or winter.

We are in His love through death because we will rise and live forevermore.

In heaven, we are not separated by His love, right?

Yeah, of course, said the crew.

So here, where we are not in heaven, but we are as written seated in heavenly places by His Spirit…. so we are never separated from His love. Just like Jesus Christ is seated at the right hand of the Almighty and is here within us…. We are here and seated in the heavenlies with Christ by the Spirit of God.

This is as we abide in Him.

If we can see or not see the enemies, we are in His love.

We are never separated from His Love no matter what….. Got it?

They shook their heads up and down as their jaws were opened trying obtain the vision of all things in the world created and not created will not separate God’s overpowering love from them.

Nothing will separate us from His love.

Even when we do stupid things, His love is still strong over you…..

Just repent and turn back….

Run to His throne and ask for help.

He is very use to our humanity. This is why Jesus Christ died to take our humanity and change us into His image, for we are in the resurrected King now and He in us. Christ in us is the hope of our glory.

However, He will not accept a prideful heart.

If we admit, O Heavenly Father, I screwed up here again. Please give me Your grace over this or that in my heart.  He will….. I promise.

Just do not walk away in pride or unbelief of His loving forgiveness or lost in downcast because you screwed up again. That is pride by the way…..

Remember, the infant trying to walk. He probably has stumbled at least 50 times. He still gets up and tries to take the slippery kitchen floor. 

He does not know about grace or the never-ending love of our God, but he never quits. So all of you never quit running to His throne for help…. He is waiting to give you strength.

Be His kid, learning to walk in His kingdom. None of us learned to parallel park during the first ten times either. At least, I did not. But He did tell me when to turn the wheel and when to straighten the car and when to stop.  

He will tell you all the ways to walk in His power to overcome the world and its ways.

This Romans chapter 8 is a good chapter for you also to read over three times a day til we meet again….

See God does His part, He gives us the grace to overcome. His grace is strength for us to walk on the high hills with our King.

We have the written word as we have Holy Spirit as Guide and Compass…..

Holy Spirit will tap you on your shoulder when He wants to bring to remembrance His instructions for you to remain in Him…. Abide in Jesus Christ, the Word of God, and He abides in you…. The fruit will be seen coming through…you.

Read Ephesians, E P H E S I A N S, chapter 4, verses 21-32:

When you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. 

You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body. “

In your anger do not sin: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold. 

Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need.

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. 

And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 

Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. 

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Let’s read both chapters again slowly.  

Now know your purpose in God through Christ Jesus. The evil one has lost his hold on you all. You all are a valuable part of Jesus Christ since before time. You are here because God has ordained you to be here and know Him. You are all blessed. Got this?

I also want you to study this chapter over the next week three times a day, okay?

This is where you live now. Get use to your new life and place in God through Jesus Christ. Let Him see His field in you harvest 100-fold, right?

Yup and AMEN, was heard by the troops.

We have come to Mount Zion, let us show Him our appreciation of being here. Let’s live His Word because His Word is working mightily in us and He is proving Himself within us. Right?

AMEN and AMEN!!!, they shouted.

Your heart turned towards His is all He needs to increase His strength in you.

Break time for ten, okay? smiled Little Person.

Grab some coffee….. We are going to talk about true freedom in Christ next.

Hearing the shout, AMEN!, Director came running in concerned they were breaking early.  He nodded to Little Person. Little Person spoke, we are breaking into higher altitude now. Keep praying for all of us.

Selah!

God is willing-for next chapter

Look In The Mirror, If You Believe In Jesus Christ As Your Savior And King……Look!!!! Then see what God has done through His love poured forth from His Son into your hearts……. You believe and crown Jesus Christ as King, right?

They sat relaxed at the table in the restaurant.  They were chuckling over this happening and that happening of the day.

Most of all, they kept looking into their cup of coffee. Would the deep dark substance help them understand the weight of their wonder seeing their loving God manifest Himself so strongly as He did this day?  

His mercy and grace mingled into all their hearts and lives in that room. Overwhelmed to the point, they were carried out of time, only eternity remains. They met Him where He is and is and is pouring Himself over them.

They still carried His presence, their humble God. They were in time but felt they were still out of time. They could not but join together in thanksgiving for His hand in this day.

They prayed and praised aloud and then silently over this special day. They joined together to call this day and past months, His breakthrough timing.

Little Person prayed: may Your mark remain steadfast into these disciples’ lives.

They could not yet even open the menus; their hunger was filled with the hand of their Lord.

Watching His will being done in the lives of His new found ones was all they needed……

They sensed they were complete in Him right now.

Maybe not later, but right now, the three felt totally complete in Him.

They continued to look into their coffee cups swirling the cups around in their hands….. mesmerized in His goodness.

Again, silently Little Person asked his King, I ask that I spoke no word but Yours to these hearts.  At most, Lord, please allow them to hear Your words alone today. May their fields produce for You a 30-60-100-fold to Your glory. Keep them as the apple of Your eye. Let them know You have surrounded them as like a huge shield.

He was hearing through his prayer, Little Person, hello, Little Person…. Hey, you okay?  LITTLE PERSON came banging through his conversation to his King….

Ah, yes, said Little Person as he looked to Uri.

She was waiving her hand before his eyes…….

Where were you? She asked.

He looked at her and the smiling director.

Oh, I was praying over them, Little Person spoke as he looked down in his cup.

Director spoke up, I think He’s got them tonight. You just put them in His hands and now you need to relax and eat. I saw you only had a soda while they ate.

Little Person answered, Yeah, I was not hungry then.  I was so caught up in Him to eat.  I am still not hungry…. I am here but not here if you get what I mean?

Uri said, you got to eat….. You said you loved their hamburgers here. I ordered for you. We could not get your attention so I ordered what you ordered the other night, okay?

Little Person said, sure, thanks. Did you get me a chocolate milkshake too?

Smiling Uri said, yeah!

She added, you are returning to us……. I see you circling around for a landing…… yup, here you come as you are putting down your landing gear…

Little Person gave her a smirked smile, okay, I am here. Okay?

Uri smiled as she threw her paper napkin at his face. He quickly reacted throwing his forearm to block the paper napkin……as he started to laugh with them.

They all laughed heartily.

Little Person spoke, I want to thank both of you for you thinking ahead on so many things and handling them for the troops.  You both did so many things that kept them focusing on the presence of God and His words to each of them. You both are fantastic…..  Also, I thank you for handling their surprises. They are being delivered to them in the morning, right?

Director and Uri grinned as big as their faces and spoke in unison, yes!!

This should really cement His Word in them, as Little Person joined in the grinning.

They all smiled with an excitement of parents on Christmas Eve knowing what presents, they have wrapped, will be the delight of their children.

Then Little Person stated: I saw Him smiling in the room about three times today.   When I would get really tired, He would show up in my view and then I went on stronger than before. I just now remembered that I saw Him there smiling…..

Uri said, Wow, He always confirms His word…… I guess He confirms Himself!!  Today He confirmed His approval with His presence manifested! Hmmmm…. He is so cool.

Yeah, said Little Person.

Then they both looked at the Director who was listening to them go on together like he was not even there.  He had a huge broad smile on his face overlooking them. 

The director spoke, you both are outstanding young adults, you know that, right?

The two of them looked at each other. They did not see what he saw in them or for them.

They shrugged with their shoulders and shook their head with a little frown on their faces.

They both went back to looking down at their own coffee cups, swirling it around with their hands.

Then thankfully, the food showed up to cover their stance of being uncomfortable.

They all dug into their food as if it had been weeks since they ate after the director spoke a blessing with thanksgiving to God, our great heavenly Father.

All the hamburgers and fries were gone as well as not one drop of the milkshakes were left either.

They all prayed and went to their homes with their beds waiting.

Sleeping peacefully in the presence of the One who was singing over them.

Little Person was standing at the front of the room, refreshed and ready to speak on what Holy Spirit showed him, remembering his recent ride on Aaliyah.  He drifted back to his day with God……..

He was glad to be away for a couple of days to walk in His presence riding on Aaliyah.  He needed to see again what he was shown before.

He needed to be quiet before his King. He was on new ground, it was high. He wanted to make sure his footing was smack dab in the middle of His Commander.

He needed to see His wide spaces with no limit on His length and width and height and width of Himself.  All was open to Little Person as he rode and felt the wind blow by.  He rested and was rejuvenated by His strength again….

He heard; you have come to Mount Zion.

Look and see what is now and to come to those who love Me with a pure heart. 

See all before you as you will walk through Me within all your days. There are no boundaries in I AM. My will for you is a yes and amen to explore and know Me without hindrance from man.

He saw before his eyes, a land full of beauty. A land of rolling hills surrounded by mountains with flowers and ripe beautiful fruit making the branches bow low near to the grass.

He saw gardens of vegetables. He noticed they were at least three times larger than our normal.

He knew this was normal to God and probably was in the beginning and will be at the end.

Our end is His beginning.

The air’s fragrance was sweet and he felt exhilarated.  He just kept looking at the brightness of where he was…..He wondered how this place would help him to know God, then…….

He didn’t know what to do but only could praise God.

You are great and worthy of all my praise.

He seemed to be there forever but he was there only an hour in time….

He was so filled again with His life and full of energy again.

Ready to bring the crew to Him again.

May they see You as You are as King and Savior.  

May they see Your smile and hear Your chuckle when Your enemies’ plan is drowned out by us singing out as Your trumpet of praise.

He road back to the barn. Remembering we are at Mount Zion now…… We have come……

We are being prepared for His place.

A place that is beyond description of beauty and abundance.  

He thought what a sacrifice it was for his King when He left His place to come to the earth.  Then Little Person thought, how great He is if this is Mount Zion. He left all, to become a Servant to God for us and for the Most High. He saw a place where there was no curse. Only God dwelt there. It was so abundantly like Him.

Finally, Little Person thought when we behold Him without any veil, in His full glory. His glory and what we are really  in Him manifested will be more than we can even think or imagine, even standing there.  Wow!  God, I love you so much.

You have prepared such a place of greatness for Your redeemed.

There is no stopping Your greatness and might.

Nor is there any imagination that can conjure up all You have planned for us who love You…. Yet, You have given us even the grace to love You. 

You are an awesome God. Thank You for showing me a smidge of what You have prepared for us…..This is even beyond what we have now. I see a tiny part of all You are and there are no words to describe You showing Your greatness.

Little Person heard; I AM is also a Father who loves to reveal His surprises to His children too.  Thank you for blessing My kids with a loving surprise revealing more love I AM is pouring into and over them. You are blessed, child. Thank you, Little Person.

Someone laughed and Little Person was brought back to the present.

How are you all doing? asked Little Person as he drank some water.

They all yelled out, great!!!!

Any of you want to share, go ahead.  Wait, let’s first pray……

Father God, thank You for bringing us close together again. Again, I ask for the greatest measure of You to be deposited in us here. We need You. Fill us with Your wisdom and understanding of all You want to reveal to us of Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, which is Your Love made flesh to dwell with us for a season. Now, You have blessed us beyond any imagination as He is within us. May we see Your Treasure within us, we ask in Jesus’ name. Amen

AMEN AND AMEN ALLELUIA, they all shouted!

One stood up; I need to speak here. Little Person, I think I speak for all of us, thank you.  You have helped us to start to understand God. Well, I mean more than we ever could on our own.

You have helped open our door to Him.  We can’t even look back and see ourselves and see any resemblance of the old person who needed drugs to survive the day. 

In the rehab session we had yesterday, we all realized we have no problem keeping off drugs like before. We are now working or making sure we are on His road and focused on this new life we have in Jesus Christ.  We really appreciate your time and bringing us to His throne.

You have etched God into our hearts and He will never leave us. We are not alone. Praise Him and may you receive His grace beyond to only His measure too.

Little Person wiped the moisture coming from his eyes as he spoke, you are all welcome. You are all worth so much to Him. 

I am glad I was given His opportunity for you to see Him. For He is the One getting you on His road….. and keeping you there. Remember, no one can snatch you out of His mighty hands.

Now, the best way you can repay me is to continue in His love….

Just remember as you are preparing to move on, His arms are surrounding each of you as well as your names are etched into His hands….. You are His. No matter what may come your way to say different. You are on His road and you are forever His.

They all shouted, ALLELUIA!!!! As theirr heads were down writing what Little Person just spoke.

Okay, who wants to start sharing their adventures in God? asked Little Person.

They all stood up and screamed: Thank you for the breakfast Sunday morning.

It was silent for a second, then a loud thank you was heard from the females in receiving their gift of a dozen yellow roses. They are beautiful.

Then it was silent again, then the males loudly said: thank you all for the gun! They all started laughing.  The males continued: the water gun! 

Yes, we signed the agreement, we will use the weapon of our warfare now speaking the Good News to all about Jesus Christ. We will be in His hands a water gun aimed at all to speak of our King, the Word of God at all times.  That now is our weapon of choice as well as His choice too!

The room was filled with laughter.

Then they all sat down. Silence was for a second and then the whole room blurted in a loud bellowing laughter again.

Little Person spoke, your welcome.  We thought to give you bright colored water guns.

This way they are not mistaken for something else as they sit in your drawer next to your moral inventory.

This will help remind you of your word. You are now a man of your word standing on your signature on the agreement to end your part in any violent acts from your own hands.

The male disciples agreed, Little Person heard some of the females agree also.

Little Person remembered what he had been shown on the hill….. This conversation would not be necessary there…… but we have come and also are coming to Mount Zion.

Little Person asked, any sharing needed?

One disciple stated: we shared all about our adventures with God at our rehab session yesterday and today…… We, sort of, are ready to learn some more, if that is okay?

Yeah, another chimed in, our rehab sessions have been transformed now into God sessions. We are sharing our thoughts and strengths in Him to prepare us when we leave here.   God is taking over this place…..

Little Person smiled looking at them all.

They all said, yeah!  He is so big!  We even play the tapes so the counselor can hear who God is and is doing in us. 

This rehab should be called God’s Transformation Center. All can come! Even those who don’t have an addiction problem….. Just those that know they are walking dead without Him!

They all laughed.

Director shouted: name sounds great to me….. Let’s do it. God is radical and deals with us radically. Let’s show how radically different life in Him is.

Everyone shouted, yeah, we are His radicals!

Again, everyone laughed.

The room was filled with can only be the joy of being radically saved from a life of death and defeat and radically loved by a great and awesome God.

They all had seen their Father’s face in the love of Jesus Christ poured forth in them, their hearts.

If you could see their eyes, there was a brightness and life pouring out of them.

These lost rebels had now a cause, a righteous cause to be different than the status quo they had been fed before.  Now they are listening to His tune over them.

God has broken the walls down for them. He broke through the wall of lies surrounding and holding them back from what He has called them for.

Little Person said, this is absolutely fantastic news.  I am so thankful. God is reigning and has His place here….. You could just put the name, His Place, on the front too.

Then in smaller print say: Come all radicals, rebellious and the walking dead. All are welcome.

They all laughed more. They all were getting carried away in His joy. His presence was increasing with every sound of laughter.

They came up with more and more captions for the title of the rehab for about fifteen minutes. 

Little Person asked them, do you all know you are sons and daughters of God.  Do you know you are written again and again in our Ancient Book?

They all started to shake their heads up and down, but when Little Person brought up, they were written again and again in their Ancient Book, they shook their head side to side saying no.

Little Person said, well, let’s find John, chapter 1. J O H N, chapter 1, verse 11-13.

Little Person repeated: John 1:11-13:

 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 

Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.

Little Person spoke, God has chosen you way before He created the foundations of the earth. He was even awaiting the day when you would receive His breakfast and guns and roses.

They all started to laugh again.

Everything was tickling their laughter.

Little Person said, I did not intend that to be funny, but anyway, He was waiting as any good father is anxious to lavish their child with his love and gifts. Wanting to see their smile and hear their laughter.

Some one yelled out, I wonder if all of heaven laughed when we opened up the bright colored water guns?

Yes was heard from somewhere. Then they all broke out in laughter again.

God laughs too. Did you know that? chimed in Little Person.

Yes, He does laugh at us, I think, when we get too serious about things and not trusting Him.

I think He gets a chuckle over us as He picks us up and says go ahead and take another step, little one.

I will carry you as your wobbly legs are learning to walk with Me alone.

It is not up to you to solve the problem but for you to lean on Me. I AM will take care of your cares. Trust Me. Let us walk this out together.

Just as a little one learning to walk is sitting in his high chair figuring out how he can take the kitchen floor without a fall. Pretty silly, right?   

I have watched my cousin as he is trying to maneuver his hands to find his mouth with his cheerios, let alone plan anything. There is no scheming here. He is incapable…..

They all broke out in laughter again as they saw the visual of Little Person’s imagery.

He also laughs at the plans and schemes of His enemies. I see His legs are straight up waiting for Him to put His feet upon the enemies’ necks as a footstool.

All laughed again.

Okay, I do not know if that is truth or not, I just saw Him holding His legs up waiting for His enemies necks to put below so He can rest His feet on their submission. He does laugh with derision at His enemies.

They all laughed again. It was very hard for Little Person to concentrate on what God had spoken to Him to talk as he broke out in laughter too.

Everything seemed to tickle their laughter this evening.

After the last bout of laughter quieted down…..

Little Person said, let’s take ten.

SELAH!

Take ten minutes with God. See what He shows you! Look in the mirror and see what He sees.

More to come- God is willing!

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul 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 who we must give account.

Seeing then we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession, ( Hebrews 4:12-14.

Little Person with the disciples enjoyed their pizza and soda together. They sat around a large table together discussing their day in God. Not thinking that every day is in God and by Him alone…..

Time was moving on and Little Person wanted to get through the Sower and the seed parable.

Hey, he said, I got an idea, why don’t we continue on around the tables.

Let me ask you a question: what do you all think the thirty-, sixty- and hundred-fold harvest represents?

They looked at him with open mouths.

One spoke up, I do not think we have any idea.

Little Person smiled, at least you are honest!

Staying straight in Him, honesty is the first key for us, said a disciple.

Okay, what is the seed? asked Little Person.

They all answered, the Word of God.

Little Person said, right.

Okay, open up your Ancient Book to Colossians 3:4. C O L A S S I A N S, chapter 3, verse 4. Let’s read this verse.

When Christ, who is our life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

When we believe His Word. The Word or seed is planted into our hearts.  We protect and treasure His Words just as we would our breath. He is our life and our breath…. When we appear with Him, we will be in His glory….. Glory because His Word has been active and alive in us working mightily.

If someone would put a pillow over your mouth and nose, you would fight like never before to get your breath…… When things come against what God says, we fight the fight of faith to stand on what He has spoken to us…… until we breathe again. He will confirm always His Word spoken to us when we stand the test of faith. The His Word will be fulfilled in us. His Love and His Word never fails.

Remember the reason we celebrate Christmas, right? The baby Jesus was born of virgin Mary. Well, as written in Luke 1:35: Then the angel replied to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you [like a cloud]; for that reason the holy (pure, sinless) Child shall be called the Son of God.

Look, His Word is planted in you and our Heavenly Father by His Spirit is overshadowing us to make His Word grow and bear fruit. Do you see this?

We protect His Word planted in our heart. We take this stance as we believe by faith every word which spoken from the mouth of God.  His Word is our food. We do not believe what we see around us. We lean into Him and trust Him alone.

How we value His Word will produce the crop of thirty, sixty and hundredfold.

Make a note to read Genesis, G E N E S I S, chapters 37-47. You have a couple of days to read this story of a man who went through many trials but what God had spoken to him in dreams were proven in Joseph after many days, even years.  

God gives us His Words. The seeds get planted and grow. Trials and tests and persecutions make our faith work the Word in us much like water and fertilizer makes the seed grow into a plant that bears eventually fruit. Then from the plant drops more seed to be cultivated. God is very consumed with multiplication……

Do you understand what His Word does? It is written in I S A I A H, chapter 55, verse 11:

So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

If you treat His Word and study and fellowship in and with His Spirit as your new found Treasure. The Word is growing and growing. His Word is alive in you. This is the harvest He is after in your field. Seeing His image come alive in your heart.

God’s Word does not fall void, but always produces what He said it would do as we read in Isaiah.

But that makes you think a minute regarding all the fields Jesus spoke over as His Word fell into all the peoples’ hearts over all the generations that have walked the earth since time began and as He rose from the dead and became the First Resurrected Son until now. That is a mediatation moment, huh?

If all His Words are fulfilled as He purposed them…..then, what about all the hearts that heard the Word……. and were in the 6 categories as He spoke on the Sower and the seed?

Wasn’t the hearer’s responsibility to hear and receive Him or His Word? asked one disciple.

Yes, exactly……Jesus wept over Jerusalem because they did not believe in Him, the Word of God…… I am not pointing finger, but using this example of the heart of God of those who turn away from His Son and His Word……He does not wish any wicked to perish.

In the book of Luke 19, verses 41-42:

As He approached Jerusalem, He saw the city and wept over it [and the spiritual ignorance of its people], saying, “If [only] you had known on this day [of salvation], even you, the things which make for peace [and on which peace depends]! But now they have been hidden from your eyes.

You as the field may be a thirty- maybe you will not be a fanatic sold out Jesus freak. You might not be seen looking to the skies for His sign or knowing the times and seasons of His hand.  You might not be concerned with what He is doing….. Going to weekly service and going on with your life is sufficient.

You as the sixty field…. You are giving Him 60 fold…… This is good as well as the thirty fold…. But there is some hold back in the field, or our heart in this 60 harvest. The mind of man still prevails versus the mind of Christ…..Maybe reasoning kicks in versus again having the mind of Christ.

Jesus Christ gave up everything to do the will of our Heavenly Father.    

His testimony of complete obedience even unto death on this earth brought glory to Heavenly Father.  He obeyed our Heavenly Father’s will 100% and without sin.

A hundred-fold harvest to Him would be filled in us with Him completely. The old man is gone, meaning when we are brought up to task by Holy Spirit, we quickly go His way. The old man’s ways and actions are gone up to this day, meaning we are walking in His Light as much as He has revealed into us.

We carry the cross until we breath our last breath. When He gives us His wheat to eat. We take it whole hearted. All is out from God from this soul. The works are of His is doing, He sees His doing through us….

We do what we see our heavenly Father doing and say what our heavenly Father says to say, just as Jesus did. He is the First of many brethren, which we are.

We continue and continue with our listening what Holy Spirit says to do and be….. and we look for His divine opportunities for talking of our King and His ancient book…… until as written in Ephesians, E P H E S I A N S 4: 13 :

 until we all reach oneness in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, [growing spiritually] to become a mature believer, reaching to the measure of the fullness of Christ [manifesting His spiritual completeness and exercising our spiritual gifts in unity].

We are consumed with Him. He now is our obesession.

He sees we are persistent in our walk in Him. 

Most important is He is seeing your seeking His gaze to know how you are loving God with your whole heart and being. Everything you got. You are by His power loving God and obeying the first commandment.

Okay, so days go on.

Then as you are driving or walking, you hear Him, walk blameless before Me.

You think, okay Lord, but how?  Please show me what that means to You.

Give me grace and I say yes.

Then you read in your scheduled reading in the Word, the same scripture in Genesis 17.  You now know this was Holy Spirit speaking to you. 

You start to talk to Him on what is it to be blameless before Him.

You ask for understanding.  Then His Wisdom to walk it out.

Then BAAM…… You are being tested on His Word He just taught you.

We learn by experience of His Word working and proving Himself in us….

He wants us all…. His Seed wants to grow big in us.

His Voice is what your ears tune into as all else seems to be a faint hum.

Him first. Our desire is Him first. 

When things go crazy, Him first.

When things go fantastic, Him first.

Fellowship in Holy Spirit and His Word….. talking to Him as written in 1 John, J O H N, chapter 1, verse 3:

 what we have seen and heard we also proclaim to you, so that you too may have fellowship [as partners] with us. And indeed our fellowship [which is a distinguishing mark of born-again believers] is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ.

Our ears listen for what we desire and love.

If we desire God and all the measure of Himself which He has given us, we will always hear His whisper.

Just ask Him…. You have question, ask Him. Keep asking and listening for understanding.

Our fellowship with Him is what He desires and when we participate within Him, we will always produce His harvest and glory to Him. We are the branch and He is the sap or juice, or His power that flows through the branch……. It’s is His harvest.

In the book of Hebrews, we are given a warning and a truth……in chapter 4. Let’s turn to this chapter now. H E B R E W S, this book is in the New Testament:

Therefore, while the promise of entering His rest still remains and is freely offered today, let us fear, in case any one of you may seem to come short of reaching it or think he has come too late. 

For indeed we have had the good news [of salvation] preached to us, just as the Israelites also [when the good news of the promised land came to them]; but the message they heard did not benefit them, because it was not united with faith [in God] by those who heard. 

For we who believe [that is, we who personally trust and confidently rely on God] enter that rest [so we have His inner peace now because we are confident in our salvation, and assured of His power], just as He has said,

“As I swore [an oath] in My wrath,
They shall not enter My rest,”

[this He said] although His works were from the foundation of the world [waiting for all who would believe].

For somewhere [in Scripture] He has said this about the seventh day: “And God rested on the seventh day from all His works”; and again, in this, “They shall not enter My rest.” 

Therefore, since the promise remains for some to enter His rest, and those who formerly had the good news preached to them failed to [grasp it and did not] enter because of [their unbelief evidenced by] disobedience,He again sets a definite day, [a new] “Today,” [providing another opportunity to enter that rest by] saying through David after so long a time, just as has been said before [in the words already quoted],

“Today if you hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts.”

 [This mention of a rest was not a reference to their entering into Canaan.] For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not speak about another day [of opportunity] after that. 

So there remains a [full and complete] Sabbath rest for the people of God. 

For the one who has once entered His rest has also rested from [the weariness and pain of] his [human] labors, just as God rested from [those labors uniquely] His own. 

 Let us therefore make every effort to enter that rest [of God, to know and experience it for ourselves], so that no one will fall by following the same example of disobedience [as those who died in the wilderness]. 

For the word of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective].

It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart. 

And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, and revealed to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account.

Inasmuch then as we [believers] have a great High Priest who has [already ascended and] passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession [of faith and cling tenaciously to our absolute trust in Him as Savior]. 

 For we do not have a High Priest who is unable to sympathize and understand our weaknesses and temptations, but One who has been tempted [knowing exactly how it feels to be human] in every respect as we are, yet without [committing any] sin. 

Therefore let us [with privilege] approach the throne of grace [that is, the throne of God’s gracious favor] with confidence and without fear, so that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find [His amazing] grace to help in time of need [an appropriate blessing, coming just at the right moment].

Okay, let’s read it again. I want you to pay attention to the words: rest, trust, obedience and, of course, disobedience.   Also, underline what the Word of God is and does to us.

The Word of God is hard on our feelings and flesh or our carnal nature, which makes up the old man that died with Him spiritually on the cross.

When we hear, obey and do things His way, then we are living the truth out. The old man, the sinner, the drug addict, is gone on the cross and our lives living out in His Word is proving His truth in us. We are now a new creation in Christ Jesus.

Who are the Israelites? asked one disciple.

We have not yet gotten into the Old Testament. God chose these people to live in the land called Israel now.   The Old Testament is for our edification to learn to do what they did and do not do what they did not do.  However, we have been given faith in Jesus Christ and His grace which gives us the strength to walk as He wants us.

A disclaimer here: We would be no different weren’t it for the blood of Jesus Christ and His cross and His magnificent grace, right?

A chorus sung out, Thank You Heavenly Father for Your Son, our Lord.

They did not enter into rest in God as written but, we should enter into our rest in Jesus Christ.

I see rest in Jesus Christ, as I really trust Him in this and in that situation regarding my life or my future or provision or health.

Put the word of your concern, and ask yourself if you really trusting Him in that area. If not, look up in His Book the concern and start reading His promise regarding this area of life.  

Then ask for His grace to trust Him for what He says. 

He was faithful for you here and there. Now stand in faith that He is faithful in this area….. Do you see His walk with you?

BAAM! His Word is growing now in you…..

He will show Himself strong for those who are seeking and looking for Him….

My trust is in Him because He has shown up to me in so many ways in so many of my days. I remember His goodness then I make a decision in my heart- I will trust Him in whatever is coming up this minute. I need Him,….. Him alone.

Psalm 31:19 promises us:  Oh, how abundant is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you and worked for those who take refuge in you, in the sight of the children of mankind!

So, I think the above scripture in Hebrew is our guide for His Word is alive and active in us producing His 30-60-100 harvest in us.

One hundred symbolically means complete or full. He wants to see our completeness found in Him.  We will be found walking blameless before Him…..

I know you all do a moral inventory every night…… You can do this with Him and His view.

You will be kept by Him on His narrow road. I promise. You will be so consumed or obsessed with Him….. He is better than any high or drunk you ever had out there.

This I promise.

As your prayers are answered, you’ll have a joy that nothing in this world can produce.

His grace and strength and love never fails us. He will always prove His Word in our lives.

Well, there is no measure of God’s love.

His love can be found in you without any limits.

There are no boundaries in God’s love.

There are no boundaries in Jesus Christ.

Our hearts are the problem in receiving all the love He wants to pour into us.

Our unbelief can stop Him in a heartbeat as well as in not knowing Him.

Give our ear to His Spirit speaking to us within. Keep your ear tuned in to Him.

Do not limit God and His power working in you and for your behalf.

Do not limit God. He has no limits or boundaries.

Got that?

Repeat that phrase…..

We will not limit God in our days, said the crew.

Read Ephesians 3:17:

So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

So do you understand the last part of the 30-60-100 fold?  His love for us and in us will always produce His harvest. His Word is working mightily in you.

Yeah, they all chimed in.

Read the Word. Spend time in prayer and talking to God often. 

Ask Him questions on His words that you do not understand.

He will explain with other scriptures as I have shown you regarding the parable of the Sower and the seed. 

Enter in to His throne boldly in your time of need. He will help you,

Remember the words: HELP ME!!!!

The disciples all laughed.

Okay, if there are no other questions.

A hand raised.

Little Person said okay, what’s up?

The disciple started, well, there was more than the Sower and the seed in those 23 verses. I still wonder on why God said their hearts have grown dull and they will not turn to Me to heal them?

Okay, said Little Person, remember the first three cases of the seed falling? 

When each person through the span of his life hears and hears and hears and never turns towards Him. Their heart becomes harder and harder each time they will not repent and not turn to Him to be healed.  Healed from sin.

Some think or decieve themselves in they are not sinning. They never go to Him to get saved and healed by His blood. They reject His Word and His cross.

Just as I showed you in Luke 19, Jesus was sent to His own people at the time He walked on the earth. They rejected Him, just as hearts are doing today…… Their hearts were dull and hardened as some will be found in today’s countries all over the world. But we who did turn to Him, He gave us the right to become the children of God as written in John 1:12, remember?

All have a free will, if man does hear and not turn his heart to believe….his or her heart will not turn and be healed……

This is not His choice but theirs. You want someone to believe in you and love you. You draw close to those who do, right? God wants us to love Him. God wants us to love Him. Even though, He gives us the grace to turn to Him. He also gives us His love to love Him. Before we have Him in us, we are incapable to truly love Him or even ourselves or others.

Let’s read this chapter of Romans, R O M A N S.

Romans, R O M A N S, chapter 1 states in verses 18-32:

For [God does not overlook sin and] the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who in their wickedness suppress and stifle the truth, because that which is known about God is evident within them [in their inner consciousness], for God made it evident to them. 

For ever since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through His workmanship [all His creation, the wonderful things that He has made], so that they [who fail to believe and trust in Him] are without excuse and without defense. 

For even though they knew God [as the Creator], they did nothonor Him as God or give thanks [for His wondrous creation].

On the contrary, they became worthless in their thinking [godless, with pointless reasonings, and silly speculations], and their foolish heart was darkened. 

Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory and majesty and excellence of the immortal God for an image [worthless idols] in the shape of mortal man and birds and four-footed animals and reptiles.

 Therefore, God gave them over in the lusts of their own hearts to [sexual] impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them [abandoning them to the degrading power of sin], because [by choice] they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.

 For this reason, God gave them over to degrading and vile passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural [a function contrary to nature], and in the same way also the men turned away from the natural function of the woman and were consumed with their desire toward one another, men with men committing shameful acts and in return receiving in their own bodies the inevitable and appropriate penalty for their wrongdoing.

 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God or consider Him worth knowing [as their Creator], God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do things which are improper and repulsive, until they were filled (permeated, saturated) with every kind of unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice and mean-spiritedness.

They are gossips [spreading rumors], slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors [of new forms] of evil, disobedient and disrespectful to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful [without pity]. 

Although they know God’s righteous decree and His judgment, that those who do such things deserve death, yet they not only do them, but they even [enthusiastically] approve and tolerate others who practice them.

It is written in Isaiah 57:18-21:

I have seen their ways, but I will heal them;
    I will guide them and restore comfort to Israel’s mourners,
     creating praise on their lips.
Peace, peace, to those far and near,”
    says the Lord. “And I will heal them.”
 But the wicked are like the tossing sea,
    which cannot rest,
    whose waves cast up mire and mud.
 “There is no peace,” says my God, “for the wicked.”

We are living proof of the great mercy of God. We understand what Jesus Christ did for us….. Grace, grace and more grace…. He is a great good God. He has given everyone a free will. However, when you turn from Him many times, He allows that deceiving spirit to rule in the souls of the rebellious.  There is no peace for the wicked.

Somebody cried out, I know all about no peace because I did not know God. But, today, I have Him and I have peace…Thank You Lord for removing the deceiving spirit from me when You cleansed me with Your blood, Father God and Jesus Christ.

Everyone said, AMEN and Alleluia!!!

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge produces the fear of the Lord.   Not to be afraid of Him but there is a holy respect of His mercy and grace that we do not want to trample upon so great a Gift we have in His Son, our great King.

All agree, asked Little Person.

Yes, thank You Lord, said His army in unison.

One more scripture, okay?

One cried out, go for it….. This is our life now, man.

Let’s go to 2 Corinthians: 6:14-18: 

Do not be unequally bound together with unbelievers [do not make mismatched alliances with them, inconsistent with your faith]. For what partnership can righteousness have with lawlessness? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 

 What harmony can there be between Christ and Belial (Satan)? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? 

What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said:

“I will dwell among them and walk among them;
And I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 
“So come out from among unbelievers and be separate,” says the Lord,
“And do not touch what is unclean;
And I will graciously receive you and welcome you [with favor],
And I will be a Father to you,
And you will be My sons and daughters,”
Says the Lord Almighty.

This is all about God’s sovereignty, He rules in the affairs of all mankind.  We may not understand all but we do know and have experienced His mercy over us and PRAISE HIM for HIM!, Right?

We have received His overshadowing us in His mercy and grace and with His Son’s blood, Jesus Christ.

They all shouted, alleluia!!

And for us, turn to Galatians 6:14, G A L A T I A N S, chapter 6, verse 14:

But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avail anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

Amen!!!!? Little Person was seeking confirmation….. There was a silence as they reread the scripture….

Then Little Person heard, Yeah, we are new creature in Jesus. Amen!

One disciple said, I dare someone to tell me I am not His or His new creature. I will tell them all about Jesus Christ.

Good response, said Little Person.

We have died to world and world has been crucified to us as we glory in Christ and His cross alone, repeated Little Person.

Amen and Alleluia to our King, said the new recruits for His cause: to save the lost.

In studying these 23 verses, we cannot miss discussing His drawing us near as He gives us the understanding regarding 30-60-100 fold. There He is again overshadowing us.

Look at this:

He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.

For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

My brothers and sisters, rejoice and jump for joy!!! You have been given understanding from Holy Spirit….. You understand this mystery of God……

Keep your heart close to His heart. You understand what He desires from us….. We are learning know of His heart cry as He came to give of Himself for your heart cry.

He has many things He wants to show each of you.

Write them down and treasure Him and His Words. You are greatly loved and treasured in His eyes.

We praise God and say : ALLELUIA!!!!!  He has given us ears to hear and eyes to see and hearts to receive His love and all His goodness, and most of Himself, the Word of God.

Right?, asked Little Person.

Little Person continued reading scripture over them, 1 Thessalonians  2:12-13:    encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory.

And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe.

Alleluia!! was shouted through the room.

You all had a very long God day. You have a bunch of time and scriptures in Him to study and meditate on the next couple of days.

Grab a piece of cake and something to drink to take back to your room.

Let’s say thanks to our great God.

Father God,

You are glorious and magnificent. May these treasures of Yours be filled to the point of overflowing in the knowledge and love of You today. Keep them from all harm and evil as Your Word stays to take root into their souls. 

Father, we ask that we may give You full reign over our field which yields You a 100 fold. May You see and be glorified by Your children. Let them fall in rest tonight and hear Your singing over them.
Allow them to awaken in the morning, remembering Your dreams and visions that cement Your word to them today.

We praise You and thank You for showing up as always beyond measure. Thank You for giving us the grace to know You have no boundaries…. Help our unbelief that we will not limit You. In Jesus’ name, we pray.

We love You. You are the most awesome God. Yet, You have manifested Yourself to us today. We thank You for giving us the right to become Your sons and daughters. We hold You precious in us.

In Jesus’ name.

AMEN and ALLELUIA!!!!

The sound of His praise filled the building.

They all got up, grabbed some cake and went to their rooms.

As the last one left, Little Person let out a huge sigh.

He was excited and exhausted at the same time.

He picked up his Ancient Book and headed for his car.

The director and Uri met Little Person in the hall.

Hey, we want to take you to dinner, okay?

Little Person said, okay.

Director spoke, give me about twenty minutes. Go ahead to our favorite spot with Uri. I will be there shortly, okay?

Little Person said, sure.

Uri was all excited and as usual shining brightly from the love of her King coming through her.

Uri said, follow me there. Okay?

Little Person said, okay, but don’t speed away as lightning without me, okay?

Uri turned around and flashed a smile that lit up the world. It even shook his breath a bit.

Next chapter to follow- God is willing!

SELAH!!

The break was over as the disciples came into the room and assumed their seats.

Little Person said, Okay let’s get going on the Sower and the seed. Let’s read it one more time together, okay.  Open it in your amplified Ancient Book. Find it in Matthew 13:1-23.

After we read it, I will try to answer the questions you have, okay?

They agreed.

The room resounded with the Word of God and was a delight to hear in a place where most of the time the room was not filled with such bright disciples and His presence!

That same day Jesus went out of the house and was sitting beside the sea [of Galilee]. But such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat there [positioning Himself as a teacher], while the whole crowd stood on the shore.

He told them many things in parables, saying, “Listen carefully:

 a Sower went out to sow [seed in his field];and as he sowed, some seed fell beside the road [between the fields], and the birds came and ate it. 

Other seed fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil; and at once they sprang up because they had no depth of soil. But when the sun rose, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. 

Other seed fell among thorns, and thorns came up and choked them out. 

Other seed fell on good soil and yielded grain, some a hundred times as much [as was sown], some sixty [times as much], and some thirty. 

 He who has ears [to hear], let him hear and heed My words.

 Then the disciples came to Him and asked, “Why do You speak to the crowds in parables?” 

Jesus replied to them, “To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted. 

For whoever has [spiritual wisdom because he is receptive to God’s word], to him more will be given, and he will be richly and abundantly supplied; but whoever does not have [spiritual wisdom because he has devalued God’s word], even what he has will be taken away from him. 

 This is the reason I speak to the crowds in parables: because while [having the power of] seeing they do not see, and while [having the power of] hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand and grasp [spiritual things]. 

 In them the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled, which says,

‘You will hear and keep on hearing, but never understand;
And you will look and keep on looking, but never comprehend;

For this nation’s heart has grown hard,
And with their ears they hardly hear,
And they have [tightly] closed their eyes,
Otherwise they would see with their eyes,
And hear with their ears,
And understand with their heart, and turn [to Me]
And I would heal them [spiritually].’

But blessed [spiritually aware, and favored by God] are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear. 

 I assure you and most solemnly say to you, many prophets and righteous men [who were honorable and in right standing with God] longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it

 “Listen then to the [meaning of the] parable of the Sower: 

When anyone hears the word of the kingdom [regarding salvation] and does not understand and grasp it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the one on whom seed was sown beside the road. 

The one on whom seed was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and at once welcomes it with joy; yet he has no [substantial] root in himself, but is only temporary, and when pressure or persecution comes because of the word, immediately he stumbles and falls away [abandoning the One who is the source of salvation]. 

And the one on whom seed was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the worries and distractions of the world and the deceitfulness [the superficial pleasures and delight] of riches choke the word, and it yields no fruit. 

And the one on whom seed was sown on the good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands and grasps it; he indeed bears fruit and yields, some a hundred times [as much as was sown], some sixty [times as much], and some thirty.

One more time, said Little Person., Nice and slow so we can break it into parts. Let’s ask from Holy Spirit for understanding so this remains in our hearts.

Holy Spirit, please, open our ears to hear and Your heart to understand what You are saying to us, okay?

After they read again this scripture, Little Person asked, what are your questions.

I asked the director for a chalk board. So come on up one at a time to write your questions. So, please, come on up here.

First one:  Why does Jesus speak to everyone when He knows some won’t believe and stay with Him?

Second one: What does He mean when He said they will not turn for Him to heal them. I mean I thought He draws all to Him.

Third one: Why is there 100 and then sixty and then thirty-fold?   Why not 30, 60, 90?

Little Person spoke smiling, you should be an accountant!

They all smiled.

Uri and the overcomer reader came up and they both worked together to write this disciple’s question, the fourth question.

After the disciple finished, the whole room clapped and yelled out their encouragement to their comrade.

Fourth question: How do we know we are not the first three? How can we yield to Him one hundredfold?  How can we know where we are now and the future?

Good questions all of you. Anymore?

One raised their hand. Need to understand the whole 23 verses, please.

Okay, let’s start, said Little Person.

The first verse shows Jesus Christ left the temple, the house of God, at that time to speak to all the peoples that had gathered, the Jews and the Gentiles. We are the Gentiles, by the way.

He came for the world. He died for the world to receive Him to be saved from destruction.

He positioned Himself as sitting which illustrates ruling over all, not just the Jewish nation but all of the world. All the nations. All nations had come this day to hear Him.

Okay? Understand? asked Little Person.

All spoke, yup.

So, this parable is for everyone born on this earth.

There is no one born of woman who will not hear His Word before they die.

Little Person asked, who is the Sower?

They all yelled, Jesus Christ!

Yes, you are all correct! spoke Little Person.

What is the seed? Asked Little Person.

One answered, isn’t it the Words in our Ancient Book?

Yes! Said Little Person, you guys have this down pat, man! This is great!

Who is the field, asked Little Person.

One yelled out, our heart?

Another yelled out, all the people of the world?

Little Person said, I am so impressed with you all.  The answers are both great and correct!!

All people will hear His word.

Now I want you to find verses 35-37 of Matthew chapter 12.  Let’s read what He is saying here aloud.

The good man, from his [inner] good treasure, brings out good things; and the evil man, from his [inner] evil treasure, brings out evil things. 

 But I tell you, on the day of judgment people will have to give an accounting for every careless or useless word they speak. 

For by your words [reflecting your spiritual condition] you will be justified and acquitted of the guilt of sin; and by your words [rejecting Me] you will be condemned and sentenced.”

Let’s read this out loud one more time.

See all of the Word of God, which is Jesus Christ, will be seen in and through us or not.

On His Day, the world is going to be shaken like a sieve. If we did or did not receive Him as our King and Savior, the shaking will allow us to see what remains of Him in us or if there was any of Him in us at all.

You all know that His Word is eternal…..

His Word in us transforms us into His Word.

His Word abiding in us is appreciated by Him.

Well, He is the Word in us and we are His home.  He knows what is going on in us….. Sometimes, we do not even know, but He does…..

He knows we are of His house as we believe and trust in Him. He sees His image within us on His Day. Actually, He watches over us and knows us as He dwells within us in our every day. His light within us is seen be Him…. We are of His house.

Beyond that He sees us every minute…as we are beholding and becoming Him as in a mirror, remember? Written in 2 Corinthians 3:18 states

And we all, with unveiled face, continually seeing as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are progressively being transformed into His image from [one degree of] glory to [even more] glory, which comes from the Lord, [who is] the Spirit.:

And we all, with unveiled face, continually seeing as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are progressively being transformed into His image from [one degree of] glory to [even more] glory, which comes from the Lord, [who is] the Spirit.

Yes and Amen!, they yelled. 

He speaks this parable to all who have hears and some who do not….. People think they are okay if they do not really keep God’s Word as their first thing. Deception in every heart will be disclosed by His Spirit.

We cannot lie, cheat and steal and think He does not see or remember or hold us accountable…. He will see if there is deceit, we are then not of His house. He will not know us as written in the Gospels.

All that we do and is done to us is known by Him.

Nothing is a secret to the Uncreated One.   His Word abiding in you increases as you walk by His Spirit. The narrow road is where your feet are as He keeps you safe from turning back, 

He will keep you for nothing can tear you from His hands, but only if you allow Him too.

It would be as if you leave here and throw all this away because an old buddy comes up to you and offers you a drug, drink or whatever.

You say sure and turn your back on all He has given you here. You throw away a new life found only in Him. The Word of God did not take root in you if you can do that.

He knows what is coming to knock on your door. He is speaking to you through the whole ordeal……. Trust Him then you are giving Him the purest form of worship during this ordeal….. or any ordeal.

See He gives you the strength to say no and to stand strong in Him and keep what you believe.

He strengthens you to withstand all temptations. 

You may be shaking doing it, but you cannot turn back from the tempter…..

It is no longer in your DNA.

You have growing in you His divine nature, You are now born of Him, a daughter or son of God

Here is another thing that pops up:  fear.  Yup, fear. Now your King says to you: For God did not give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear, but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of sound judgment and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control].

This scripture is found in 2 Timothy 1:7. Make a note of scripture, you can find it on your own later.

You have been given a strong mind and spirit. His courage will help you to speak up and say I am a believer in Christ Jesus and I do not use any more. I am straight. Thanks to Jesus Christ.

Speaking out your stance will cause some to get offended. There might be a fall out in standing up for yourself to your old way acquaintances.

Good old peer pressure kicks in. You may find you experiencing the fear of man is greater than the fear of the Lord in your heart.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of the knowledge and wisdom of God. If there is any fear of man exposed, go to Him. He already knows and will help you overcome. He calls you His and He will help you through every step of His road.

The above examples work well for the second group which Jesus Christ speaks about. The ones whose root was shallow because their heart disclosed His Word was only there because it might have been a quick fix for a now problem …… His Word was deposited on shaky and rocky ground……

When the pressure of peers and loved ones speaking against your choice in being a believer, do not back off your stand in Jesus and bow out from Him. 

Keep your actions pure towards Him as He is watching. Our hearts reveal where we stand as so does our response to the Sower and His seed. 

The truth always come through. Be honest with Him and ask for the grace to overcome any fear of man or of conflict. Stand strong in Him.  He will help you.  Be honest when you see some of your walk is shaky, He will strengthen you for the long haul.

God shines the Light of His Gospel in our hearts and it also lets us see where we need Him in greater measure than we thought.

I wanted to give you examples of what may happen out there or even from some of your visitors here…….

Let’s go over the first group of people which are not any of you all, of course!

They all smiled but their confidence was shaken a little….

Remember His love for you will not fail.

Even if you turn for a minute because you were afraid and then you saw some default….. Turn back to Him immediately, cry HELP ME!  Repent and get back to Him and get filled. Okay?

Remember, the kid learning to walk. His legs are learning the strength they need. So are you learning how much strength that Jesus Christ must give you….. We all have no strength but His. However, in His strength we can do all things, even impossible things as written.

They all shook their heads in agreement.

Little Person smiled and continued; the first group would be people who casually hear. Maybe they were invited by a buddy to hear the Word of God.

They have nothing else to do, so they come.

There is no real need to change their path to His in their mind. They just came for the show.  Everything is cool in their lives and they have no need for a Savior.  They do not know how blind they are.

They continue on their own road leaving all the Words for their salvation on the wayside.  Ignoring Him and their need for Him.

Any questions? Asked Little Person.

No, not yet, said one of the disciples.

Nope. But how can we be the 100-fold field people? asked one of the disciples.

Little Person said, we will get there, promise.

The Director is bringing in pizza so we can eat our Word dinner and natural dinner together. Okay?

YUP! I am starving, yelled one of them.

Okay, let’s finish the third set of people who do not want to carry their cross in Him through their life. 

See His Word produces the cross in our lives. 

When we turn from our old natural self to His way. His image will grow, we see the old man of ours on the cross with no power.  Some will follow Him and some will only say they will follow Him…..but only in word and their hearts are far from Him as written.

The cost to follow Him is too much.  To us here, the cost not to follow Him is too great for us to even contemplate. We will lose everything to gain Christ.

These thorn hearers have ambition and not for Jesus Christ. Ambition for fame, fortune. They have eyes set on their dreams and not His dreams for them. Proverbs 10:2-3 states

Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value,
    but righteousness delivers from death.

The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry,
    but he thwarts the craving of the wicked.

This field or type of heart really cares what people think of them.  Fame, fortune is all about getting so all can see them, I guess. Look at me everybody…..

 I have never been there but this weakness is about what people think rules and reigns in their fields. 

Their dreams may be altruistic but they are about their name and fame and fortune.  They have not died with Christ yet, and they are not bringing glory to His name and fame. Christ riches that He has shown us as in His healing or gifts of His Spirit that operate through us are just the beginning of the true riches we are going to find in Christ Jesus. 

See His riches are invisible first in us and then He gives us other things after we live after seeking His kingdom.  Other things of this world can come to us but they have no hold over our heart. He still is King and Lord on the throne of our hearts.

If He were to say to us to give something to someone, we gladly give because He gave it to us. The second reason is He always repays us in greater measure than our sacrifice of obedience.

Even if there is no repayment.  Obedience to His command is worth as it sprays over us His righteousness and peace.  

Remember, to see His smile over us is worth laying down all things for Him. In the day we meet Him face to face after our days are finished here, we want to know He knows we are from Him….. Our days were filled with Him, after all, He is the fullness of each of us….. as written.  

The deceitfulness of riches is bait to our eyes. It is a false road leading to emptiness and pride.  You all have been astray by the deceitfulness of getting high, right? Where did it lead you? 

Know He took the cross with the joy before Him…. You were there in His thought of joy, through His pain. So in carrying your cross through difficulties, remember the joy you have found in Him. You are His inheritance and He is your inheritance now and forever.

Let’s look up Luke, L U K E, chapter 9:23-27:

And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wishes to follow Me [as My disciple], he must deny himself [set aside selfish interests], and take up his cross daily [expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow Me [believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me].  

For whoever wishes to save his life [in this world] will [eventually] lose it [through death], but whoever loses his life [in this world] for My sake, he is the one who will save it [from the consequences of sin and separation from God]. 

 For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world [wealth, fame, success], and loses or forfeits himself? 

 For whoever is ashamed [here and now] of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory and the glory of the [heavenly] Father and of the holy angels. 

 But I tell you truthfully, there are some among those standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”

We must desire the riches of His inheritance greater than what we see here in this world. Let’s read again Ephesians 1:17-23. Look it up again, please.

 [I always pray] that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may grant you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation [that gives you a deep and personal and intimate insight] into the true knowledge of Him [for we know the Father through the Son]. 

And [I pray] that the eyes of your heart [the very center and core of your being] may be enlightened [flooded with light by the Holy Spirit], so that you will know and cherish the hope [the divine guarantee, the confident expectation] to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints (God’s people), 

and [so that you will begin to know] what the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His [active, spiritual] power is in us who believe.

These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength which He produced in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places, 

far above all rule and authority and power and dominion [whether angelic or human], and [far above] every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and world but also in the one to come. 

And He put all things [in every realm] in subjection under Christ’s feet, and appointed Him as [supreme and authoritative] head over all things in the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills and completes all things in all [believers].

Okay, let us also see what another disciple thought written in 1 John 2:15-17:

Do not love the world [of sin that opposes God and His precepts], nor the things that are 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 and sensual craving of the flesh and the lust and longing of the eyes and the boastful pride of life [pretentious confidence in one’s resources or in the stability of earthly things]—these do not come from the Father, but are from the world. 

The world is passing away, and with it its lusts [the shameful pursuits and ungodly longings]; but the one who does the will of God and carries out His purposes lives forever.

Little Person read the scripture as they tried to find the little book inside their Ancient Book.

Then Little Person spoke, okay, it is the number 1 then J O H N chapter 2.

They found it.

Little Person spoke, remember the fear of the Lord is the beginning of understanding. As wisdom is found in the knowledge of the Lord.

They read 1 John scripture aloud,

Now, I know some or most of you are counting on our King to provide jobs and income opportunities to you. 

I know He will meet you where You need Him. I promise for it is written. Whatever in the Word of God is written, He will do it for He is faithful. Just meet Him with your faith in Him…..

He desires your priorities on meeting with Him and going after His kingdom versus getting hooked going after stuff in the world. 

Keep your eyes pure. Keep them focused on His love.

Just remember, all mankind that has walked and will walk this earth will have an opportunity to hear His Word.

You are of not the same material as the first three class of hearers.

By His grace, you have been given ears to hears and eyes to see and heart to receive all He has died to give you.

Turn to Colossians, C O L O S S I A N S, chapter 1:21-23:  Let’s read this now:

And although you were at one time estranged and alienated and hostile-minded [toward Him], participating in evil things, yet Christ has now reconciled you [to God] in His physical body through death, in order to present you before the Father holy and blameless and beyond reproach— 

 [and He will do this] if you continue in the faith, well-grounded and steadfast, and not shifting away from the [confident] hope [that is a result] of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which [gospel] I, Paul, was made a minister.

He will also hold everyone accountable that heard and despised His Word as well as reward those who treasured Him and His Word as the apple of their eye.

Those who treasure His Words above their own life will receive His reward and praise.

You all can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens you as written in Philippians 4:13.

He cares for us and wants us to lean on Him for what we need spiritually as well as what we need to live godly in this world.  He provides!!!  Keep talking to Him and keep looking.

Hey, what God timing! Here comes the grub!!!

See, He provides everything just at the right and perfect time…..

After all, He is the Author of time and our time is in His hands. He knows what you need and your cares…… Talk to Him about them all. He will guide you from His Word. He knows the best way for each of you. His doors will open as you obey. The right doors will open and the wrong doors will close. 

Let’s break for now.  Let’s eat.

Father God,

As we eat the food here. Let us see how the pizza breaks down to bring nutrients to our body. We thank You the Words that were heard today go down into our hearts to remain so we remain healthy and strong in our spiritual walk in You and with You.  Let them take root and abide in us as we abide and cling to You.

Please bless the food and time our sharing together over Your Word. Thank You for both. In Jesus name.

And all said…… AMEN and ALLELUIA!!!             

Let’s eat. Come on Director and eat with us too!

The disciples said, yeah man, come on.

The director pulled up a chair to join the meal.

They all sat together. Talked, laughed and ate around the table set by their God before their enemies.

Wonderful to see the peace of God cover and invade those whose hearts have opened to Him and received Him as King and Savior.

Session not finished yet, more to come…… God is willing!

Selah!!

It was very quiet as the disciples gathered together in the room that afternoon. You could see the love of God shine through their faces. As written the face reflects the heart in man.

 For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts to give us the Light of the knowledge of the glory and majesty of God [clearly revealed] in the face of Christ, (2 Corinthians 4:6).

Little Person asked, did everyone get your roots down deep in Him during this special time with our King? 

YES!!! Their affirmation resounded throughout the room even through the building.

Write this down…. Galatians 2:20- G A L A T I A N S. This is one of my favorite scriptures. Meditate on this often. Turn to it now in the amplified version and we will read it together.

I have been crucified with Christ [that is, in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.

The life I now live in the body I live by faith [by adhering to, relying on, and completely trusting] in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

Are you ready for more? asked Little Person.

A student spoke, please take it slow. My head and heart are sort of full. I do not want to lose anything that is said here. It is way too important. To me, it is a matter of life and death importance.

All students agreed.

Okay, remember the director is recording what I am saying to you. Your responses will not be recorded though.  You will be able to listen to this again whenever you want, said Little Person.

Can each person tell in two minutes or less what happened to them? You can speak or not. We will go around the room. Okay? No pressure to share at all.

They looked at each other and said, okay, I guess.

One started, when you brought us into the cloud, I saw thousands with me all in new white robes. We were all seated around the throne of Jesus Christ. He had a crown like really, really bright.  All we could say was ALLELUIA! Just like we do here. I thought that was really neat that whether we are up there or down here we all say ALLELUIA!  And He hears His praise and we hear His praise surrounding Him.

Little Person said, Awesome! That is really encouraging to remember when we feel alone. The truth is we are never alone! There are thousands with us that came before and are here and will come after us. Also, what you saw is written in Revelation 7.  Check it out! He always confirms His Words and imagery to us.

Okay, next. Wait a minute. If you want to skip yourself. Feel free. This is not mandatory. Sometimes it takes a couple of days with Holy Spirit to understand what happened and what He wants to show us.

Sorry, okay, go ahead.

Well, I saw in my window from His plane, I was cooking and baking for tons of people. They loved the food. The Guy in the navy-blue clothes kept bringing me the food to give to the people who came up to me.    All I know is I can screw up boiling water. The microwave and me are on real close terms if you know what I mean.

Everyone chuckled.

Little Person said, I have a notion what that means, however, ask the Holy Spirit about who brought you the food to help you understand, okay?

The disciple agreed, okay, I will because I sure cannot cook!

Okay, next, Little Person nodded his head.

Well, I am really afraid of heights, even though I am tall, heights make me freeze in a panic.  So, as we were driving around and the view changed to see the top of the mountain we were on, I realized after a couple of minutes, I am not panicking and look I am at the top of the world almost.  That was so cool.

After the session is over, we will have to find you a ladder! spoke Little Person. I think our King help conquer your fear!  Just remember this for any other fears or concerns pop up. He will help you with them all.  You are a conqueror from now In Christ Jesus.

The disciple smiled and agreed.

The next two passed and both said they were not ready to share because they did not know how to explain how Jesus Christ showed Himself yet. 

The next said, I felt so free when I saw the bag leave into nowhere land.  I then saw myself in the window how God sees me. I was very tall and my clothes were shining.  I think I saw the wedding dress He has for me.  I never thought I would get married. Let alone even think that someone was to love me.  He showed me both inner dreams I had that I had thrown away.   He threw away what I do not need for my new life and showed me that He loves me as He loves his bride, His people. ….. I mean not sexual or anything. It had nothing to do with that as it had to do with giving me a dream I lost because I thought I was unlovable.

Little Person said, that is awesome. You are loved and worthy of love because He made you and God does not make junk!  I hope you know now how special and beautiful you are to Him. Remember this. You are shining now with the beauty of His love flowing from you.

The disciple agreed wiping away tears.

Okay, next, nodding to the next.

Okay, I have to admit the first one in the cloud, I thought was bogus.  Until, I felt the rain hit my face. I mean I felt the rain drops hit my face and my arms. I looked down and I was in the car. It was a convertible.  I was soaking wet.   Then I did not think it was bogus.  I looked up and asked, really?

Everyone chuckled.

He did show me something else again.  I think He wants me to know, He is in control and I am not.  He washed me clean with His raindrops.  I then was in the cloud but the sun was shining on my heart or chest brightly.  I tried to block the sun shine with my hand but the brightness was coming from inside out of me.   He wanted to show me, Him and I are together in me forever. I cannot stop it and if I forget He will make me get caught in His rain again to remember.

Everyone laughed.

The disciple did not see the humor.  But sort of smiled.

God’s love is busting up your doubts of His love for you. He will always rain down on you, His mercy. As your days go on, you will understand that you know you are walking from glory to glory to glory.  Live in Him as He lives in you. You are in Him whether you feel this or not. It is a matter of your faith in what He has spoken to you and written in your Ancient Book from Him Walk this Ancient Book out in your life.

Abide in Him always, friend.  You are going to do awesome things with God. I promise.

Okay, next……

The overcomer of illiteracy spoke, in my seat in the plane, I saw myself with King Jesus behind me as I was reading to others from His Ancient Book.  Many were there listening to me reading like I have been doing it my whole life.  I cried.  Jesus then came to hug me and said with Me all things are possible. Trust Me. Allow I AM to show what you mean to Me. Look up and to Me and see.

WOW!! Said the whole room.

That is fantastic !! said Little Person.  Allow Holy Spirit to continue to show you all His plans because He always calls those things that are not to are and those that are to are not.  Keep going strong my brother!

Okay, next, Little Person nodding His head.

Okay, in the cloud, I asked Him, why do we need to go down to go up?  He told me: That is My way. The humble, the poor in spirit, receive grace and are lifted up or strengthened from My Presence. Always keep to My narrow road and as you go down, not fallen, or up, be little before Me. I AM will always show up in you very large….. There is freedom in being small and lowly.  Then My hand may always lift you before My face.  Do not care if you are up or down, keep your eyes on Me in all the way. You are Mine. The freedom is allowing My hand to move mightily on your behalf. I AM is glorified by your look to I AM in all things that pertain to your life.

Call out to Me if you do not see My face. Call to Me always. I AM is I AM for you.

People say the smallest sentence in My Ancient Book is Jesus wept.  I want to show all another short sentence……. Psalm 119……. The song writer called out to Me: Help me!!

Call out to Me for help all and any time. I AM hears you and will help you.

WOW! Said the disciples.

Can we write that down too? They asked.

Sure…… As the disciple spoke out slowly the teaching, they all with heads bowed wrote.

Little Person thought, a pen of a ready writer exalts her King.

After the heads popped up from their writing, Little Person spoke, turn to Isaiah 40:28-31. I S A I A H, chapter 40, verses 28-31…. You find him in the prophets. Yell out when you are ready.

Let’s read:

Do you not know? Have you not heard?
The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth
Does not become tired or grow weary;
There is no searching of His understanding.
He gives strength to the weary,
And to him who has no might He increases power.
Even youths grow weary and tired,
And vigorous young men stumble badly,
But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him]
Will gain new strength and renew their power;
They will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun];
They will run and not become weary,
They will walk and not grow tired.

As they all looked up to Little Person, he spoke: Proverbs 15: 24, The path of life leads upward for the prudent
    to keep them from going down to the realm of the dead.

Little Person spoke, the humble receive His grace and strength to keep ascending in Him and His hand is strong on you to keep you from stumbling.

Most of them told of their experience as it was apparent that God did show up into that vision that Little Person spoke over them.

They saw themselves with their families and some with their future children. Some ran businesses. They were all amazed. The most important was their hearts were filled without measure their hope of their future because God was directing their path now.

Little Person spoke, after all He has shown you, I think it is wise to read Ephesians 1:17-23.  Go to E P H E S I A N S.  Keep to the first chapter and start at 17-23.

Let ‘s read this a couple of times.   Allow the scriptures to take root by meditating on them which I give you and then read again what Holy Spirit spoke to each of you. All there?

He heard back, YES!

 [I always pray] that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may grant you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation [that gives you a deep and personal and intimate insight] into the true knowledge of Him [for we know the Father through the Son]. 

 And [I pray] that the eyes of your heart [the very center and core of your being] may be enlightened [flooded with light by the Holy Spirit], so that you will know and cherish the hope [the divine guarantee, the confident expectation] to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints (God’s people), and [so that you will begin to know] what the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His [active, spiritual] power is in us who believe.

These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength which He produced in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion [whether angelic or human], and [far above] every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and world but also in the one to come. 

And He put all things [in every realm] in subjection under Christ’s feet, and appointed Him as [supreme and authoritative] head over all things in the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills and completes all things in all [believers].

Okay, know you are His. He is exercising His exceeding great power in you because you believe.  He shows Himself strong to all who are looking for Him.

Your Heavenly Father is exercising His exceeding great power unto and in and through you. Are you ready to let go more and grab Him in all His goodness which He will bring to you in His great restoration plan?

Remember, He enlarges you by His pressure of trials, pop quizzes and tribulations.  But He is your strength and peace…. So, keep hold of Him…. okay?

Little Person said, let us take a break for ten.

Father God,

Etch into their hearts what You have shown them of what is and is to come from Your plan over them.  May Your foundation of love in them be strong as the Rock that You are.  May they grasp You never waiver.  Their hearts might jump and flutter, may Your grace always draw them to victory found in You alone. Keep them protected in Your grace bubble for now. In Jesus name.

See you in ten.

They all came in quiet in their own thoughts.  Their faces shown with the love of God flowing through their hearts as Romans 5:5 speaks……

Little Person spoke, turn to R O M A N S, Romans chapter 5. We will read verses 1-5. Let me know when you get there.

They yelled: here.

Then Little Person said, let’s read this a couple of times.

 Therefore, since we have been justified [that is, acquitted of sin, declared blameless before God] by faith, [let us grasp the fact that] we have peace with God [and the joy of reconciliation with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 

Through Him we also have access by faith into this [remarkable state of] grace in which we [firmly and safely and securely] stand.

Let us rejoice in our hope and the confident assurance of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the manifestation of His excellence and power].

And not only this, but [with joy] let us exult in our sufferings and rejoice in our hardships, knowing that hardship (distress, pressure, trouble) produces patient endurance; and endurance, proven character (spiritual maturity); and proven character, hope and confident assurance [of eternal salvation]. 

 Such hope [in God’s promises] never disappoints us, because God’s love has been abundantly poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Little Person spoke, I want you to know this. You all are shining from the love of God poured into your hearts.  Your faces are glowing with His love reflecting His presence within you. You are written in our Ancient Book, did you know that?

 For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts to give us the Light of the knowledge of the glory and majesty of God [clearly revealed] in the face of Christ, is written in 2 Corinthians 4:6.

Be excited and at peace for you know you are in His hands and as written in John 10. No one will snatch you from your heavenly Father’s hand and no one will snatch you out of Your King Jesus Christ’s hand.

Now we did see, as Little Person continued, that there will be trials and tribulations.  Now tribulations are like tests or exams and some are like pop quizzes. 

I know your stomach tightened up with the mention of tests and tribulations. Why? Thinking you might fail, right?  Hey, you are His and His book is always open to you and He is closer than your breath when you are walking through them.

Let’s say you have a flat tire on your car or bike.  You take it to the filling station which is spiritually speaking the Holy Spirit. He fills you up as you are the tire until you are full……  He tells you to ride it out in His fullness…..

Then a pop quiz shows up and there is conflict and maybe not of your own doing but you lost some peace of Him. You lose a little air. 

Then the past comes knocking at your door and says come on out with us… You stand your ground and say no I am straight and I am now a follower of Jesus Christ.   

They mock you and degrade you.  They say in disgust, man, you are just like the person you swore you would never become.

You say: thank you and I will tell you about Jesus Christ if you want.

They then walked away after they spit on your shoes.   The Gospel of peace is there from you to them……They rejected it for now. But you kept your peace even though your insides may be shaking.

You passed my brothers and sisters!   You did not go back to the old. You stood your ground. But in the spitting, you lost some air because you thought you did something wrong. You assumed they would say hey, yeah, tell me about Jesus Christ.

You got the arrow in your heart at the spitting. 

Hear this!!!!

The results of presenting Jesus Christ are not up to you. That is up to the Person sitting on the throne in heaven. You present Him and plant His Seed.

Then someone else comes along and waters and then someday they have the fertilizer of the Light of the Gospel hit their heart. They then turn from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of His Son, Jesus Christ.

Some might hear from you and receive Christ Jesus. Some might reject Him from your Words which are His and spit at you.  All you need to do is plant the Word of God, the Gospel of Jesus Christ in their hearts. The rest and trust is in Him who guides the affairs of mankind on this earth.

Some of you are planning to speak to everyone about Jesus Christ.  Remember, listen to Him and be guided to who He puts in front of you.  Sometimes just you being redeemed and being who you are in Him now is the Word of God seen and justified in you without speaking a single word.

It is up to our King, and the words we speak are from Him…. Just listen and obey.

Back to what happens when stuff starts to knock the air out of our tires.

Okay, so you meet with Holy Spirit.  You think you did something to screw up. Nope, He says.  We need some time alone to get you filled up again.

You will never screw up here, son and daughter. You are learning and I AM here to keep you filled in Me.

When a baby falls after it takes their first step, you never think they have fallen or screwed up….. They are getting stronger legs to carry their weight.

Well, our King’s yoke is light yet, He is still weighty because you are going a different way than the world.  The weight from you now going up stream and no longer with the crowd is a different sense and feel. 

You are learning to overcome peer pressure and lean into His presence instead.  You are getting strength every day to carry His Spirit. New way, new muscles, new legs all go with the new clothes we have received when we have His Spirit within us.

The tire runs down the road and hits some bumps and pot holes. These knock the air out of the tires. You see where you need to call out HELP ME, Lord! 

He and you meet again in prayer and BAAM!!  You are filled and you know a little more about listening to Him and to keep watch on what He spoke on the road.  But you will always need to be filled again and again by Him.

This prayer and meeting with Him is a necessity like getting air to breathe.   You are clean, but you walk in the world but you are not a part of it any longer…

Your feet will still need to get washed from the dirt and your heart needs to keep filled with the goodness of God.

This is His secret. You like secrets, right?

The blessed secret of fellowship is resting, or trusting in I AM, you are than abiding in Him.  Trust God. You trust Him by your faith…… This is worship to His ears. Trusting in God is faith which pleases Him.

This is His way as written 2 Corinthians 3: 16-18:

 But whenever a person turns [in repentance and faith] to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty [emancipation from bondage, true freedom]. 

And we all, with unveiled face, continually seeing as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are progressively being transformed into His image from [one degree of] glory to [even more] glory, which comes from the Lord, [who is] the Spirit.

Understand? To us, it looks a lot like we are screwing up, but in His eyes, we are being transformed into His image. Learning His ways and living by His thoughts and words. 

In your not feeling okay keep going on, your surroundings may change, but He does not.  Do not doubt He is guiding you. Remain filled with His fullness of His Spirit. He does not give us a little bit of His Spirit. He gives us Him…. All of Him to work in and through us.

Understand? 

Yes, said the disciples.

When you return to the world, brand new and clean. Many attempts of the evil will come knocking on your door or around the corner.

His attempt is to bring you back down.

Stand your ground.

Speak the truth of yourself now.

Sometimes you will just have to walk away and pray for those who you hung with before.

Remember it is not in your hands, all men and women are in the hands of the Father. 

Leave them there and keep walking the path God has for you today and tomorrow.

Got it?

YES!!!! 

Okay…..….. So……. what do we say to the Most High?

Praise Him and Alleluia!!!!

So now let us go to the Sower and the seed parable that I gave you the other night, okay? Let ‘s take ten first.

Then we are to dig into this. Some of you mentioned you have some questions about this.  We will take questions then, okay?

Okay, they agreed as they exited the room quickly.

Little Person sat down himself and took a ten-minute fill up with Holy Spirit.

The session resumed as Little Person said, Open to Matthew 13:1-23:

That same day Jesus went out of the house and was sitting beside the sea [of Galilee].  But such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat there [positioning Himself as a teacher], while the whole crowd stood on the shore.   He told them many things in parables, saying, “Listen carefully: a Sower went out to sow [seed in his field]; and as he sowed, some seed fell beside the road [between the fields], and the birds came and ate it.  Other seed fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil; and at once they sprang up because they had no depth of soil.  But when the sun rose, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.  Other seed fell among thorns, and thorns came up and choked them out.  Other seed fell on good soil and yielded grain, some a hundred times as much [as was sown], some sixty [times as much], and some thirty.  who has ears [to hear], let him hear and heed My words.”   The disciples came to Him and asked, “Why do You speak to the crowds in parables?”  Jesus replied to them, “To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted.  For whoever has [spiritual wisdom because he is receptive to God’s word], to him more will be given, and he will be richly and abundantly supplied; but whoever does not have [spiritual wisdom because he has devalued God’s word], even what he has will be taken away from him.    This is the reason I speak to the crowds in parables: because while [having the power of] seeing they do not see, and while [having the power of] hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand and grasp [spiritual things].  In them the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled, which says, ‘YOU WILL HEAR and KEEP ON HEARING, BUT NEVER UNDERSTAND; AND YOU WILL LOOK and KEEP ON LOOKING, BUT NEVER COMPREHEND; FOR THIS NATION’S HEART HAS GROWN HARD, AND WITH THEIR EARS THEY HARDLY HEAR, AND THEY HAVE [tightly] CLOSED THEIR EYES, OTHERWISE, THEY WOULD SEE WITH THEIR EYES, AND HEAR WITH THEIR EARS, AND UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART, AND TURN [to Me] AND I WOULD HEAL THEM [spiritually].’    But blessed [spiritually aware, and favored by God] are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear.    I assure you and most solemnly say to you, many prophets and righteous men [who were honorable and in right standing with God] longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.   “Listen then to the [meaning of the] parable of the Sower:  When anyone hears the word of the kingdom [regarding salvation] and does not understand and grasp it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the one on whom seed was sown beside the road.  The one on whom seed was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and at once welcomes it with joy;  yet he has no [substantial] root in himself, but is only temporary, and when pressure or persecution comes because of the word, immediately he stumbles and falls away [abandoning the One who is the source of salvation].  And the one on whom seed was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the worries and distractions of the world and the deceitfulness [the superficial pleasures and delight] of riches choke the word, and it yields no fruit.  And the one on whom seed was sown on the good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands and grasps it; he indeed bears fruit and yields, some a hundred times [as much as was sown], some sixty [times as much], and some thirty.” Little Person spoke, all of you who have questions, come up here……     Selah! Next blog Part II we will continue, God willed….
