Month: November 2023

We must totally identify with Christ in us, The Hope of Glory!

There is nothing more I can do to make myself right with God.  When I strive to make myself right before Him, I become self-righteous.

In that state, everything is futile and worthless, because no one can be right with God without the perfect and finished Work that Christ did for us!

Jesus is our example also about finishing our tasks.

When he completed His Task on earth and He hung on that Cross and said, “It is finished!”

I pray each of us have that mindset to finish this race!

Serving The LORD takes a total commitment to Him, and the more we face self and want self to be seen, we are on the slippery slope of ease as we ease on down the road.

“For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh [my human nature, my worldliness — my sinful capacity].  For the willingness [to do good] is present in me, but the doing of good is not.”   Romans 7:18

In the days we live in, there are so many distractions that aim at the eye and ear of the body.

These types of images are like a mirage of things that we are faced with daily.  We must remember that even the eye can be used to deceive us.

“And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter The Kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire”   Mark 9:47

We cannot put confidence or trust even in our own flesh — for it is not our friend!

We are to bring our flesh under subjection to the Spirit of God daily.  We must judge ourselves lest we be judged.

Just remember when faced with a mirage and if we are in a season and type of drought, desert, and wilderness the temptation always comes to tempt us to get off the path and go towards what looks easy.

Being led by the so-called appearance of distant images and things will lead us away from the path The LORD makes for us in the wilderness.

There are no shortcuts in our preparations.  God doesn’t waste anything.

“Listen carefully, I am about to do a new thing, now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it? I will even put a road in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert.”   Isaiah 43:19

We must learn to judge by the fruit of The Holy Spirit, because there are many pretenders out deceiving others and even deceiving themselves.

We must judge by the evidence that is set before us.  We are supposed to watch and pray and obey!

We must repent of all evidence in ourselves that does not line up with God’s Word.  A close walk with The LORD demands coming closer into alignment to his Word which is His Will and purpose.

We are speaking loud and clear by how we present ourselves to this world by word, deed, appearance, and in those we are in league with.

Reader, as I end these thoughts the prompting of The Holy Ghost asks a question….

Are we more aligned with the ways of this world, and our various societies following the trends instead of aligning with God’s Word which is Spirit and Life?  Only you can answer this for you.

My prayer is for repentance, and I ask that The Holy Ghost reveal anything that is keeping us away from The LORD’s Will.

LORD, keep us close and help us to live a life of repentance and obedience to God.

“Hope deferred makes a heart sick.  Many have lost Hope in My Kingdom, and have resigned to negativity, thinking there is no help for them in God.

But I AM a shield for you, the glory, and the lifter of your head.  There are many who trouble you, saying, “God has abandoned you!”

They will say to you don’t mention anything about God for who shall believe you?  Yes they say, you can’t do anything right.

Yes, they set you up to be judged by your actions in trying to get them to care for you.  This tactic always will be twisted right back at you.

Are you seeking love, care, and acceptance from your unsaved and lost family members?

When you meet them where they are, have you found any common ground? 

Do not ever entertain and compromise your witness for they shall take your actions and everything said will be twisted and manipulated to discredit, poke and to make fun of you.

You need to remember what sort of spirits are at work in their lives.  Stop listening to their opinions, because you know My Word.

I say, be not afraid of ten thousands of people who set themselves against you!  You have mastered the masses, but when it comes to those who you want close to you, it turns into another wound to your conscience and fragile emotions.

A prophet is without honor and not taken seriously in his own home town!

I have heard the sighs and depth of your grief!  Your tears are the voiceless words of your mind.

I see and know each tear, as I store them in a bottle.  None of these things are hidden from me — nor will they limit My Work or My Will!”

You Are Not Alone!

“I will sustain you through every journey, trial, hardship, and you shall sleep in peace and be revived for I have not forgotten you.

I want YOU to know that I see you, I hear you, and I see all the injustice!  Those who you love, they don’t see or want to see what I AM doing in your life, for they are not of My World or Word.

No-one truly knew you or compared you to what was dead and gone.  However, I created you for the process of death to self for such a time and you shall mount up and rise above everything you once knew!

That is why seemingly no one loves or cares for your soul.  I AM taking off your limitations and I will reveal them soon, then you shall KNOW that what I say I do and will follow through.”

I AM Purging Out the Old for the New!

“I AM closer to you than you realize.  When it appears that no one can see where you begin or end, take heart beloved for I shall do a great and mighty work that will have no end.

I AM with you and stop seeking the approval and advice from man.  They cannot comfort what is spiritually made nor can you find the comfort in the arms of flesh.

Now turn each situation and person over to Me and forgive them release them and let them go and come fully to Me, for I created you for greatness in My Kingdom — and you are needed in this hour!”

As I was praying, I asked The LORD to restore the heartbeat of this Nation.

While in prayer I saw a heart beating — then it suddenly seized like being squeezed and held.

The heartbeat of this Nation is vital to the functioning of the body, to service all the parts and cells in the body.

I see an attack on our heartland and our way of life.  I heard “Heart attack!” — then I began to pray — quoting Scriptures — for this isn’t something that God is not aware of, but He wants us to be aware of this and to pray.  The heart is very vital.

“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”   2 Chronicles 7:14 NKJV

“Hope deferred makes a heart sick.  Many have lost Hope in My Kingdom, and have resigned to all negativity, thinking there is no help for them in God.

But I AM a shield for you, the glory and the lifter of your head.  There are many who trouble you, saying, “God has abandoned us!” and they say there is no more help for them in their God!

I say, be not afraid of ten thousands of people who set themselves against you!

I have heard your cry and the sighs and voiceless words of your mind.  None of these things limit My Work or My Will!

I will sustain you through every journey, hardship and you shall sleep and revive for I have not forgotten you.

Trust in Me, Hope in Me for in one moment I can strike and smite all your enemies and break the teeth of the wicked and ungodly!

I AM the God of Hope, and hope makes not ashamed!  Salvation and blessing belong to My People,” says The LORD!

“As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations, before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, so shall thy seed be.”   Romans 4:17-18 KJV

I heard the Word, “Covert!” and I understood that many things are all happening at once behind the scenes and are silenced by God.

The LORD wants us to hold our peace, and to let The LORD fight our battles.  Even the enemy thinks he is making great strides, as he seeks to paralyze my people with fear, for he is a master of every web of deceit and deception.

Do not fall for this demonic fog, for he wants God’s People to throw up their hands in defeat.  Even the enemy has no idea how The LORD will bring things through.

You must understand that God has won and therefore you are winners regardless of what you see and walk through.  There is a time to speak and a time to refrain.

“In My Silence, know that I AM at work.

The enemy is frantically trying to pull out everything in his arsenal to put out The Light in The Church, like a candle wick, but to Him who sits upon The Throne, I laugh at the culmination of all things is near for we are embraced in an Ancient War that has gone on for many millennia.

Do not turn your backs or faces to Me, for I have taught you again and again, to listen, heed, and respond.

I will surely gather My People from all the lands, and I will return them to this place and make them dwell in safety.

They are My People, and I AM their God.  I give them one heart and one way, so that they will always fear Me for their own good and for the good of their children to come.

I hold the world in the palm of My Hand — and think not so earthly.

Remember, the Spirit Realm is the original realm, and all truth parallels.

This war is an Ancient War, and I sit on The Throne and will never turn away from doing good to those who love Me, and I will put My fear in their hearts, so that they will never turn away from Me.

Yes, the enemy shall run in terror, as fear falls back on fear, for there are many more with you than them!

Yes, I rejoice in doing My People good, and I will faithfully plant them in this land with all My heart.

For this is what The LORD says: Just as I have made all things in My Time, so I will bring on them all the good I have promised them.

Which of you are saying, ‘It is desolate, without man or beast?’

In the areas surrounding Jerusalem, and in the cities of Israel I will restore them from captivity!” declares The LORD.
