When we throw up puzzle pieces they never land in the same spot as they were when we picked them up to throw them….. yet, they build into one perfect picture when the puzzle is put together. All the pieces belong to the same picture….. Just as we use to throw up 52 cards in the air as kids and then go pick them up. The cards may be all over the place but they belong to one deck of cards.
When God shakes all things that can be shaken….. The pieces that fall all over all belong to one plan…. His. The rules of the game are what goes up must come down and what is down must come up! The Lord spoke many parables on the heart of man and their blockings to the blessing or power of God. Luke’s gospel 17:9-30: Also He spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank You that I am not like other men- extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all I possess. And the tax collector, standing far off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, God, be merciful to me a sinner! I tell you this man will be justified rather than the other, for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.
Then they also brought infants to Him that He might touch them; but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. But Jesus called them to Him and said, Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God. Assuredly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.
Now a certain ruler asked Him, saying, Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? So Jesus said to him, Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. You know the commandments: Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother. And He said, all these things I have kept from my youth. So when Jesus heard these things, He said to him, You still lack one things. Sell all you have and distribute to the poor, and you have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me. But when he heard this, he became very sorrowful, He said, How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God! For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. And those who heard it said, Who then can be saved? But He said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
Then Peter said, See, we have left all and followed You. So he said to them, Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who shall not receive many times more in this present times, and in the age to come eternal life.
Wow, Jesus did not leave any heart out in regards to what may block the kingdom of God to stand within the heart of men. The walls in our soul- the mind, emotions, background of our lives,keep the Word of God from being effective in any one’s life. The bottom line of them all is unbelief because the one’s hearts beliefs are placed in trusting something or some one else…. Whether it is our selves or our bank account or in men, whether men be of in the world or in the religious world……. But one thing is certain, redemption through our God and Savior Jesus Christ, is possible to all men……. All may come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and then grow in Him – All men….
Sometimes I clearly understand why the Lord spoke in Matthew 23:8-12, But you, do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren. Do not call anyone on this earth father, for One is your Father,, He who is in heaven. An do not be called teacher; One is your Teacher the Christ. But he who is the greatest among you shall be your servant. And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.
And yet, as written in Acts 10:15-16, And a voice spoke to him again the second time, What God has cleansed you must not call common. This was done three times. And the object was taken up into heaven again.
Is it not written, our life in Christ is by faith and not by sight? Religious always judge by the outside and God judges by our heart….. Men desire to find fault in any so they may keep them down trodden….. Why? If we are in Christ, we lift up others as we are already lifted up by Him- not by ourselves….. We exalt the love of Christ within each other and know no man by the flesh any longer as our instructions are written in the Word in Corinthians- Look it up!…..We speak the Word of God over each other. What the Lord sees is how our vision should be…. We ALL are under the blood of Jesus as we believe…… No one needed less of His blood than others. We are all fallen short of His glory, but we have triumphed in His Triumph over the flesh of man and death. Remember there is no work on our part but our belief then the Lord sanctifies us by His Spirit of Grace…. Can we take credit on His work on the cross within us and His sanctification process? Can we glory in our sanctification? If we do then I have to question the validity of the process…… As many wise men have stated the longer and closer we come to the Lord, the more in awe we are of His mercy in the cross. We surely know that there is no good in our flesh…..
Do I see the workmen leaving the fields? Did the workmen leave any of the corners or any of the boughs heavy with fruit for the poor? Do I hear I AM say the year of 2017 is the day of I AM’s gleaning?
In the Book of Ruth, she would glean the fields after Boaz’s workmen were finished harvesting. Her future husband was providing for her. It was known the corners of the fields were always left for the poor and also some of the branches of the fruit trees……….The day where He gathers what others thought not up to their standard, but obviously up to the Lord’s. He gathers the outcasts and the poor. As written in Isaiah 11: 11-13, It shall come to pass in that day the Lord shall set His hand again the second time to recover the remnant of His people who are left, from Assyria and Egypt, from Pathros and Cush, from Elam and Shinar, from Hamath and the islands of the sea. He will set up a banner for the nations, and will assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. Also the envy of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall cut off; Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not harass Ephraim,
This time is the day of the Lord……… He is the Lord of Hosts …….. and All Consuming Fire…..Let us beware of speaking tickling words over people and not declare the Truth according to the Word of God to people. We are not speakers of the gods of destiny or gods of fortune. We are voices crying out in the wilderness to prepare the way of the Lord. He is here and will also come into the fullness of His Person when there will be no more time to turn and repent……. Speak the Words of Truth and Love over all…….Make the paths smooth for the King of glory to come in and not to heighten the flesh in false hope of the gods of destiny and fortune.
Let us allow at this time, the time of change given to us by His grace….. He has answered us, we are awake……. Are we willing to let all go and just grab Him with all our might……..Knowing then we will be healed. We will be alive and awake to His hand, His breath, His voice. Or do we choose to think we are changed and do the same things over again……. As the above scripture stated, Lord, we have left all and followed You…….Each heart has to leave a new- something old- to receive His new…. The newness in the life of Christ Jesus is worth it all….Let us a rise in Christ this day- Don’t you hear His Spirit?
The time is at hand where the deck of cards are already blown up into the wind and life will never be the same……Trust in the Lord with all our strength is His object. Let us make sure we are agreement with His! Our object every day should be to hear Him and see His hand……for He is here. Let us make sure we are a heart that is small in our selves but large for Him. Let His time with us speak out – You have chosen the needful thing not that we lack one thing! We may want to make all things stay the same, but it will be in vain. Try stopping a tidal wave and see how you do…… It will be very frustrating opposing God, and getting all wet and possibly flowing away in the current is a frightful proposition….. Wisdom says, I humbly come and say Lord I will not fear and I will be anxious for nothing- for You are with me! Your grace is sufficient- now shake away……. for as I am in You, You are forever- what shall I fear?
Remember, they entered the land and by the instructions of the Holy Spirit, they took Jericho…….. Going against all human reasoning……… But, because of idol worshipping amongst the people, actually, it is was one man, a small country of Ai, God’s people were defeated by one man’s disobedience ( Have we not heard this before? Hmmm I think it was a man called Adam)…….. All hearts are very important to our King, we are all vitally important to the body of Christ….. As written, we are all members of His body and all brethren…….We can only be given power to conquer the land when we have turned all of our hearts to Him….. As we do not bow to Jezebel, the power to rule the nations is given unto His overcomers as written in Revelation, the letter to Thyatira. Love you all!
His peace is beyond our understanding, but how glorious is His presence with us this day! There is no trade or riches equivalent to Him……We love You, Our King of glory!
Thank You, Father, for Your great Love- we have in You forever!

Selah!
Children,
Look to where your help has come from! Look to I AM the Giver of your life. The Giver of all life. Do not clench your fist on the things that breath not. They cannot go with you where I AM. Is this a day called the Valley of Decision. As I Am has spoken, why put your hope in cisterns that hold no water, for they are cracked……Your life is seeping out through the false alliance of your trust. Would you do different today if you knew I AM is knocking on your door to enter in? Would you throw out, clean up, put away? Alas, I AM with you. I AM comes to you this time. I AM has come to see you and see in your eyes. Your eyes are I AM’s lamp to your soul. I AM the Keeper of your soul. What will I AM find? A home that points to I AM? The home that is filled with the knowledge of My love? Will I AM find a home who is a bright and shining light set on a hill? Will I AM find a heart that is faithful unto I AM through all? Will I AM find you watching for I AM as I AM is watching you? Will I AM find your eyes on others and wanting desires more than desiring I AM?
No one notices a small crack in a foundation of a house, but not checked in time, that crack will grower wider and longer unless it is dealt with ruthlessly. Only the Lord can build the house, otherwise the watchman tarries in vain. The Ancient is the new and for ever I AM. The death of the flesh brings to newness of I AM life’s within you….. Out of depths of ashes through the night brings the height of beauty and the length of oil that covers and grows within you- for I AM there. The great glory of I AM is hidden among men. Do you need to smell the fragrance of the rose to know it is there? No, you see the beauty and shine of My own work within you and the fragrance of My hand is coming forth. Alas, not all desire My fragrance of myrrh and frankincense. Ah, but you My child, have stayed to allow the fragrance of I AM to be known through My vessel. If the clay is hard, I AM cannot mold it unless the heat comes to soften the clay. If the clay is too wet to keep the mold, I AM allows some drought to harden the clay to be workable. If the clay is too hard, I AM allows some waves to come and moisten it to a workable fashion. All is done in I AM’s way….. For I AM your Keeper. Why fear the night? I AM allows the night, for I AM’s whispers are discerned in the fire. When the light of day arises, so does the attention of My own….. Cherish the night with I AM. The speech between two lovers is withheld in the heart of men through wars, storms and fires….. Love never fails and keeps them holding on to all they know of I AM……until the fullness of the Day approaches. Men step back into the old for fear of the new path. If I AM with you, show it by your faith. Let go of the old path….. It has served its purpose. Allow your feet to climb the steeper the steps- I AM with you all the way. Cherish this call.
SELAH!
Hey, let us just do it! Amen and amen! We come Lord to Your call…..Your greatness is blinding us to all. Who can turn from the sweetest voice we have heard? No not one!
