Your Book — Written With Chapters Missing

Even to the good, the bad, and the ugly, The LORD turns it all around into something that can be used for good to save, encourage, and deliver. 

To The Reject & Outcast — There’s Good News!

Nothing you go through is wasted beloved of God. 

Even the good, the bad, and the ugly, He turns it all around into something that can be used for good to save, encourage, and deliver.  Everything Satan meant for evil God will turn it around for good!

The LORD is the answer to every tear drop, to every onslaught, sickness, secret fault, and unbridled thought, and presumptuous ways, because He knows all motives and reasons.  He, precious one, knows how desperate the needs are.

The many issues that plague the heart, soul, mind, will, body, marriage, family, friends, financial need, future, present, ministry, answers to heart pangs that the internal fire that burns within is threatening to burn up all that remains.

There is so much to look at in “this Season” we all have been found overwhelmed where we exist.

But The LORD Jesus Christ doesn’t want us simply to exist, but to dive into the season with all you are using what you have been freely given and to take captivity captive just as He did when He gave gifts to men.

What better gift to receive than being part of the ultimate gift in ministering Salvation to this generation!

Jesus came to set the captive free!  What better way to build and fill The Church, through the power of The Holy Ghost, capturing those who have been imprisoned in their own minds, bodies, through wrong thinking, sickness, and doing what has kept them bound to the things of this world.

For living in a true prison, is a process that takes steps and actions to warrant incarceration.

Our goal daily is to plant seeds, and to know it is a process of doing what is right and good in ministry to others; even the people nobody wants.

God goes after the rejects He delights in loving and saving them.  Those who are forgiven of much, love!  Some of the most passionate people in the Kingdom of God, have the roughest backgrounds!

Look at the woman at the well.  She was set up by God to encounter Christ the Son of the living God!  This encounter with Jesus at the well had historic and prophetic implications.  The woman at the well knew something major had happened to her!

The woman understood that Jesus was a prophet (John 4:19) and she was majorly shaken by Jesus’ revelation of her five husbands and history with men.

But there had been a long-standing division between the Samaritan and Jewish religions.  The Jews considered them heretics and apostates and had nothing to do with them — calling them dogs.

Jesus was saying to the Samaritan woman that the time of spiritual worship of God’s people has arrived!

” “Sir,” the woman said, “I see that You are a prophet. 20Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.” “Believe Me, woman,” Jesus replied, “a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.  You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. But a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such as these to worship Him.  God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”  The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.””   John 4:19-25

Jesus went after the rejects, and those called dogs, knowing her rejection turned into great love!

She was forgiven for much — and she loved much! (Luke 7:47)

Her encounter with The LORD Jesus Christ revolutionized her life and she left her water-pot and ran to Samaria and told everyone about Jesus!

The Samaritan became the first preacher to her people!  And a woman!  Jesus Loves his women in ministry!

From that woman she spread the message of Jesus, and many came out and Jesus stayed for two days, and Samaria listened to him!  Jesus still goes after such as these!

We are creative and even within The Church we plant a seed, another waters it, while the Spirit of The LORD gives the increase!

I believe this encounter also shows the power of how prophecy turned a woman from being called a dog, into a Samaritan evangelist!

“Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”  So when the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed two days. And many more believed because of His message.  They said to the woman, “We now believe not only because of your words; we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man truly is the Savior of the world.”   John 4:39-42 NKJV

Prophetically, God restored the breach at Jacob’s well, which name means supplanter/ deceiver into Israel which means God Contended,  ‘Wrestles with God’, ‘Triumphant with God..

Why not send the good news to Samaria, where division between the Samaritans and the Jews was broken and initialized by Jesus Christ himself!

God our Father, you created within us, a longing and wonder to search out a thing, but LORD I ask that you cover this precious one with your feathers, covering them from the strife of tongues and the silence that ensues for fear of losing everything that is dear.

Strengthen all that remains dear Jesus and touch the silent and wounded soul, take them out of this confusion and isolation so that though they are alone they are really not alone for you are with them even till the end of the age.

Please comfort them with the Spirit of Comfort and provide that stability and security that only you can bring in these trying days.

May they see Jesus clearer, day by day, and may the Glory of The LORD beam from their face!

When it is all said and done, nothing will matter except when we stand before God and all that remains is burned away and we emerge as pure gold, silver, and precious stones.

In prayer, I saw a book and suddenly I saw whole chapters removed at once.  Chapters you wish you could remove from your life though they have taught you fiery lessons.

The LORD has removed the shame and guilt and there is no condemnation.  Be free this day in knowing He is with you and He has you — and He’s got this!  In Jesus’ name!

“When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.”  (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)
“You are a Jew,” said the woman. “How can You ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)
Jesus answered, “If you knew the gift of God and who is asking you for a drink, you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.” 
“Sir,” the woman replied, “You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where then will You get this living water?  Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock?”
Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again.  But whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a fount of water springing up to eternal life.”
The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water so that I will not get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.”
Jesus told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”  “I have no husband,” the woman replied.
Jesus said to her, “You are correct to say that you have no husband.  In fact, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. You have spoken truthfully.” 
“Sir,” the woman said, “I see that You are a prophet.  Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.”
“Believe Me, woman,” Jesus replied, “a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.  You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.  But a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such as these to worship Him.  God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.” 
The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”
Jesus answered, “I who speak to you am He.”
”  John 7:7-26

Sincerity of the Heart

Beloved of God, those of us who have made Christ our only hope and life will be critically appraised for standing on the Truth contained in God’s Word, the whole Holy Bible.

heartsBeloved of God, those of us who have made Christ our only hope and life will be critically appraised for standing on the Truth contained in God’s Word, the whole Holy Bible.

Our Faith, Character with the good fruits of The Spirit of God are lived with desire to seek Him, in a Faith-filled heart — as in fellowship — in our relationship with our creator and LORD.

Being saved isn’t deciding to follow God, then like a marriage, you go to the altar and receive Salvation as the betrothed of God, then run back to other lovers with no evidence of a changed life.

A double minded man is unstable in all his ways

God has many created beings, but he wanted something very different for you.  He saw your heart and wanted someone who would choose to Love and have a deep abiding Relationship and fellowship with HIM.

He longs for a heart that’s purely motivated by Love and simply by His touch in intimacy.

God’s desire for his creation is that we learn to serve him out of pure heart of Love, and not because you have to.

The heart of God is pure love, and He doesn’t share His Secrets with those who have no fellowship with HIM.

We are to be hiding The Word of God in our hearts, so that we might not sin against Him.

As The Bride of Christ, we are to experience the most intimate relationship with our Groom.

Salvation isn’t a one-time decision, it’s a daily lifestyle that is eternally sealed with the heart that is totally His.

It’s not like looking into a mirror, and promptly walking away forgetting what he saw.

The beloved of God are already living eternally with an address in heaven. His kingdom come HIS will be done on earth as it is in heaven. God desires that all might be saved but not all will.

His wooing is His longing and desire for us is to seek and find HIM in our daily walk as our relational choice. We have as much of HIM as we want. He longs for our fellowship in our relationship to grow.

His Spirit is easily quenched when we have no reverence.

God doesn’t want people who don’t want Him.  Why would He?

Not all choose God, and many come and make halfhearted decisions at an Altar, and go promptly back to the ways of this world, thinking they are saved.  This is heresy, and not aligned with God’s Word.

Being a true believer carries weight, and there is a price, as it costs us everything to carry our cross.

Salvation isn’t Fire Insurance; you can’t buy your way to heaven.

We believers in Jesus Christ have been called and chosen to become God’s man or woman created in God’s Image; and as a Triune being, having total Free Will and choice to become a true seeker and finder of God.  For He is not far from them who diligently seek Him.

God did not take our free will choice away.  We must choose each day, whom we serve.  The same way we received Jesus — now walk in it.  There will be outward and inward evidence of true conversion experience.

Faith without works is dead.  And it isn’t about Laws; it’s about having the fulfillment of The Law abiding within us — as we die daily.

It grieves my heart that I know people who have decided not to follow The LORD by sincerity.  And in lack of purity, they adhere to strong delusion’s thinking they can live anyway they want, with all manner of sin and depravity, and God in His Mercy, keeps warning and keeps warning.

Repentance and right Relationship with our savior Jesus Christ cost.  He purchased our freedom, but it cost Him everything, and it will cost us everything to follow Him.

Preachers and believers, it is time to stop lying to people by not addressing sin, repentance, and what it means in turning away from sin and walking in newness of life.  It is not an option.  It’s the life of the true beloved child of God.

Prayer and Fellowship

In My prayer and fellowship with The LORD today, I saw a religious type of Church, and suddenly I was at the door and the mat said “WELCOME.”

I asked The LORD what it meant; He said, “I AM visiting Churches to see if I AM made welcome.”

Beloved, the time is at hand when persecution shall increase and we are not to fear it, but to face it with confidence for we are The Temple of The Holy Spirit, and we are equipped, and He is with us.

We chose Jesus as Lord and Savior, and He saved us and keeps us, as we continue in pursuit of that love relationship in prayer and through seeking Him, in The Holy Bible.

When you love somebody, you yearn for them; you desire them and want to be with them to hear what they say.

The LORD wants us to realize that we are hearing Him, and He is preparing the way.  However, there are many adversaries and pretenders —  those of the religious sort will be your greatest adversary.

Do not fear or worry about what to say or do, for the Spirit of God will give it to you in that very hour.

“If the world hates you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.  If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.  Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.  But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake because they know not him that sent me.  If I had not come and spoken unto them; they had not had sin: but now they have no Cloak for their sin.”   John 15:18-22

The LORD came to those who said they had God, and their Law poke of Him, but they could not see Him.

I remember the grief of our Lord and His rejection, as He looked at the city and Temple… and said,

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her!  How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing!  See! Your house is left to you desolate; and [k]assuredly, I say to you, you shall not see Me until the time comes when you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of The LORD!”   Luke 13:34-35 NKJV

Side Show Acts Vs Book of Acts

What is the heartbeat and message of God to The Church? To seek and save the lost, both winning lost souls and awakening the dead dry bones of The Church!

What is the heartbeat and Message of God to The Church?

His message is the same, to seek and save the lost, both winning lost souls and awakening the dead dry bones of The Church!

The true messenger of The Gospel of Jesus Christ preached repentance from all sin AND turning away from ALL that keeps you from true devotion to God!

You cannot have true revival without true Repentance from sin AND turning away from it!

False Revival in most recent instances are events people go to in hopes that they see or experience signs, wonders, miracles.

They are very accommodating, and they focus on messages that make everyone happy with themselves without confrontation of sin with the following repentance.  This foolishness borders on insanity!

True Revivals are meant to WAKE UP The Church!  Once The Church wakes up, they repent, they turn away from the sin that kept them captive!  And it doesn’t stop there, you have only just begun to live!

Many of these revival meetings are people who invent a Jesus whose good news is, I’m OK and you’re OK!

We love you just the way you are!  This invention of The Gospel of Jesus Christ, is so that it won’t offend or confront sin!

They twist the scriptures to accommodate their particular sin needs, so you will feel free and comfortable among others like yourselves.

These meetings are perverse Side Show Acts, instead of the Acts of the Apostles that demonstrate the power of God!

Revival Meetings have become locations where people are conjuring up witchcraft in their cauldrons as the dregs are releasing spiritual forces of darkness and in their drunken INTOXICATED haze they are exercising demons!

These meetings are very spiritual and carry with them things conjured up from the deep with all sorts of signs, lying wonders, and miracles that they think are God’s Spirit.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is free, but it will cost you everything! Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forevermore.

These popular meetings boast of great names and promise all sorts of manifestations and prophecies that touch God’s Word about repentance from sin or turning away from it!

Wake up Church!  Repent of all sin and turn away from it, and get up and follow Him in discipleship and service wherever The LORD leads!

Beloved of God, we The Church are to DIE to sin and the ways of the world.

Dead things don’t grow, dead things stink, dead things have nothing to prove, dead things terminus and finally end up as dirt.  Our comfort is fleeting!  But we spend enormous amounts of resources and time on being comfortable.

The message of The Cross is HIS death, burial, and resurrection.  This taught us, when we die to the things of this world and the flesh we will rise in newness of life.  Both in this life and the life to come! (Romans 6:4)

“The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? I, The LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.”   Jeremiah 17:9-10 NKJV

“Even him, who’s coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders”   2 Thessalonians 2:9 NKJV

“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”   Matthew 24:24 NKJV

The Two Tear Drops

While in prayer today, in a Vision I saw two large tear drops.  Each drop fell one on my left cheek and the next one on my right cheek.

“And The LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.”   1 Samuel 16:1

While in prayer today, in a Vision I saw two large tear drops.  Each drop fell one on my left cheek and the next one on my right cheek.

Looking at each tear form, they were clearly heavy, weighty drops that were perfectly formed — but in one instant, they suddenly dropped and were dispelled.

Prior to the dispelled tears, I must expound that this Vision has multiple meanings that you each must ask The LORD to reveal.

Then I suddenly zoomed in very clearly, within each tear drop, a panoramic prism view of certain instances I had experienced with a clear view of the people, the circumstances and situations involved.

Then in league with that Vision, God gave me another Vision.  This is the way I can explain; I saw it like looking at a picture of the Hand of God holding a very dry sponge.

He took the sponge and He immersed it into a clean bucket of hot water with bleach.  Then I saw that sponge being used to Clean House and to wipe down and pick up what was left of all the soiled, embarrassing, and messy events.

As I beheld this Vision, suddenly from a microscopic level I could see what was left on the platform that no one could see; not only was there dirt, crud, and black mold, but I could see various illnesses, viruses, and bacteria both natural, emotional, and spiritual sickness.

Remember, from that level that no one could see with their natural eye what was dwelling in their very midst.

This Vision clearly allowed me to see what is at stake — or what would be the results of ALL the planned events if the Hand of God does not intervene and finish the Work in each heart and group.

The symbolism of Cleaning House or Platform is a serious warning to The Church and Ministries, especially the platform of Leadership.

There is a reckoning and serious repentance at hand.  The Hand of GOD with the sponge (sponge = prophet) with hot water (not cold or lukewarm) and bleach means The LORD is going to get to the places the leadership hides, and as Ezekiel could see into the walls of the temple [Ezekiel 8:6-10], so is The LORD uncovering from a microscopic level all things to destroy what has been allowed to contaminate the lump, and what has been hidden from view shall be eliminated.

We have entered a time where GOD has been so merciful and compassionate, but His Spirit will not always strive with man, and He is requiring the truth.

There are ministries that He clearly started that need correction, direction, or elimination.  We are living in the last days.

The LORD used the sponge in various ways to clean people, ministries, and events that He did start but they ended very badly. (1 Corinthians 5:11, Romans 1)

There will be others who will be shining so bright from their pride and the glory of their own armor that they will be led off in deception with all the lying signs, wonders, miracles, and their own errors.

Do not be deceived!  God is not mocked; what you sow you shall reap!

People are looking for their own acceptance, so they invent a Jesus and the way they want Jesus to be!

If the Total Holy Bible is not the standard you base your life on, you are in serious danger of deception.

New Age is in The Church, and they are very accommodating.  They want your comfort and ease and want to know how they can please you and they will not speak of your sin, only love!

They look, sound, act and are very spiritually led, but you need to ask yourself, what spirit is it that you are hearing?

Then I saw the Hand of God take the filthy sponge repeatedly, and He immersed it into the hot water and bleach in hopes to finally clean up the platform and foundation once and for all.

The end of this Vision was of the bucket of filthy water with the worn-out sponge.  After the dirty water was dumped out, He had the sponge in hand — although worn was cleansed from all the filth of each task.

The sponge was used over and over, and it soaked it up and it was released into the pail of hot beach water.

In the end, the sponge had been cleansed and it was placed in store to dry out. (Prophet identified with each of the elements and tasks)

Tears speak words, they express much.  Tears can be joy. (John 16:20)  Tears are prayers (Psalm 56:8)  Tears are gifts to help, cleanse, heal and humble us before The LORD.

Emotional tears can make us vulnerable.  Tears speak many things like feeling hopeless, or depressed.

Tears can be triggered in compassion, attachment pain, sentimental emotions that can communicate to others.

Tears can often be the result of anger or unpleasant emotions and there are many more types of tears. In the end The LORD will wipe away every tear no more death, or mourning, crying, no pain.  (Revelation 21:4)  Tears are a general theme all throughout the bible.

We often forget and do not realize that we shed tears.

Our Creator and Savior was grieved and wept over Jerusalem and still weeps over the condition of the church today.

He wept in anguish in the garden and on The Cross he cried out, “My God why hast thou forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46)

Why is it so difficult to move on, when God tells us to, and to separate ourselves from sin and people who compromise sin?

A little leaven contaminates the whole lump!  There is a day coming when God is going to shut the door and it will never reopen.

The prophet Samuel mourned for Saul in the passage of 1 Samuel 16:1.  Samuel mourned over being part of a King who disrespected the omniscience of God as well as disrespecting the prophetic office. God rejected Saul as king and Samuel lamented and went over and over his steps and decisions in making Saul King of Israel.

Have you ever grieved over a relationship, ministry, or unrealized expectation or opportunity in others before?

Regardless of how much we love, care, or want something to happen or change, God declares a day when we must stop crying and get up from that spot, shake ourselves from the dust and chains we put on ourselves, because it is time to get up, get over it and get going!

Forget the past — but don’t forget the many lessons!  Amen?
