Do Not Stop Seeking

Luke 11:52, 12:2 “What sorrow awaits you experts in religious law! For you remove the key to knowledge from the people. You don’t enter the Kingdom yourselves, and you prevent others from entering…. The time is coming when everything that is covered up will be revealed, and all that is secret will be made known to all.” 

There is much that has been left out or changed in the Word my children are allowed to see. Do not despair. When you seek me with a pure heart, when you read my Word with the desire to know me, I make sure you understand what I want you to know. I do not allow the manipulation of my Word to stop you from coming to me. It will all be revealed in my time. In the meantime, do not stop seeking. I will provide what you need. (2021)

The Yoke is Being Placed

Deuteronomy 28:43-44 “The foreigners living among you will become stronger and stronger, while you become weaker and weaker. They will lend money to you, but you will not lend to them. They will be the head and you will be the tail!”  47-48  “If you do not serve the Lord your God with joy and enthusiasm for the abundant benefits you have received, you will serve your enemies whom the Lord will send against you. You will be left hungry, thirsty, naked, and lacking in everything. The Lord will put an iron yoke on your neck, oppressing you harshly until he has destroyed you.” 

The yoke is being placed. The weight is increasing. There is yet time to overthrow these enemies, but not much. If my people do not rise up and fight back soon, it will be too late. (2021)

Doubt or Belief

Numbers 11:23 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Has my arm lost its power? Now you will see whether or not my word comes true!”

Have you lost trust in me? Do you not believe I am able to do anything? Do you not believe that I love you enough to do whatever it takes to care for you? Your enemy is formidable. The darkness is greater and deeper than any of you imagined. You despair of it ever being vanquished. Yet, you have seen my power in your own life. You have felt the love and care I have demonstrated to you over many years. You have heard and seen the miracles I have done all over the world, all throughout the history of my children. With my help, you have vanquished evil spirits and demons in your own life. Do you doubt me? Why would I change? (2022)

Hold Tight

Psalm 46:1-3 God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. So we will not fear when earthquakes come and the mountains crumble into the sea. Let the oceans roar and foam. Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge!

Do you live this Truth? Can you say that I am your refuge and strength? Do you know you can withstand whatever this world has to give? Are you ready for the days to come? Meditate upon this. This is what you need to stand on in the coming days. You are entering a very trying period. Much will tremble and crumble around you. But what is important, what is True, what is of eternal value – that will not move an inch. That will stand firm. I protect what is of value. Much in your world today is not only not valuable, but is evil and dangerous for my children. It must be destroyed. Stand under my wings, take refuge in my shadow. It will be terrifying for those who do not know me. But my children, my flock that knows my voice, you will withstand. I will be beside you supporting you, before you leading you and behind you protecting you. Hold tight. It will be a rough time. (2022)

What Will You Give?

1 Samuel 1:9-11 Then Hannah rose after eating and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat by the doorpost of the temple of the Lord. She, greatly distressed, prayed to the Lord and wept bitterly. She made a vow and said, “O Lord of hosts, if You will indeed look on the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will give Your maidservant a son, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and a razor shall never come on his head.”

Hannah asked me for the desires of her heart. She promised that if she were granted that desire, to have a child, she would return that child to me in thanks. She gave up everything she had asked for in thanksgiving to me for granting that wish. What will you give back to me? What are you willing to let go of? Important question. 

To reward her sacrifice, Hannah was given other children. I do not take everything and return nothing. What will you give? (2020)

Look to Me

John 5:24-47 “I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life.”

You know these words are true. Why do you concern yourself over what is happening in your world? Whatever is happening on earth is temporary. It has already been decided. Look to me. Seek my face. Seek my direction. I have yet things for you to accomplish here. But, if you are undisciplined, if you allow yourself to be caught up in fear or anger or anguish over what is happening on earth, you are of no value to me. Eyes on me. Ears attuned to my voice. Be ready to drop whatever you are doing at a moment’s notice if you believe I am asking you to do something. 

Lampstands

Numbers 8:1-3 The Lord said to Moses, “Give Aaron the following instructions: When you set up the seven lamps in the lamp stand, place them so their light shines forward in front of the lamp stand.” So Aaron did this. He set up the seven lamps so they reflected their light forward, just as the Lord had commanded Moses. 

What good is a lamp stand that does not shine the light out for all to see? What good is a relationship with me if it does not result in others seeing me and coming to know me? You are here for a reason. You have been chosen to have this deep relationship with me so that you can share me with the world. There are many who do not know me. Many who have refused to believe. Many who will perish unless you and my other children demonstrate my love to them. Will you step forward? Will you allow my light to shine through you – your words, your actions, just your presence? Will you serve me by serving your fellow man? You know the darkness continues to grow in your world. Time is short.(2022)

Stop Limiting Me

Numbers 13:31 But the other men who had explored the land with them disagreed. “We can’t go up against them! They are stronger than we are!”

And so it is with your world today. They are stronger than you, right now. They are more powerful than you, right now. So many of you cower in fear before them, before their lies, before their strategies to control and rule over you. So many of you do not allow me to work in your lives, to work in this situation. Some of you profess to be my followers. But, if you know me, really know me, why do you live in fear? If you really know who I AM, if you really believe that I am creator of all, ruler over all, why are you afraid? The reason that they are stronger than you, the reason that they have such power over you is that you do not know who you are in Me. You do not avail yourself of my power. You do not avail yourself of my wisdom and knowledge. You do not avail yourself of the Holy Spirit residing within you. Did I not promise in my Word that you, through me, could do anything? If you believe I keep my promises, if you believe I do not lie, if you believe I do not change, then why do you not believe that? Go back, look at the history of my children Israel. Did I not fight for them? Did I not strengthen them? Give them wisdom? Provide for all of their needs? Surround them with my warriors in battle? Why would I not do the same for you? If you are my child, why would I not be a good parent? Stop limiting me, and what I can do through you. My miracles did not cease at the cross. They have continued on to this day. You have seen some yourself. Stop allowing yourself to live as if they had ceased, or were not available to you. Remember this: your enemy is really after me. You are the intermediary target. So, if he is attacking me, will I not fight back? If the battleground is your world, your life, will I not fight back in those arenas? You have been chosen to be my warrior. But you forget the story of David and the giant. Did David go to battle against Goliath in the armor of his day? No. It was restrictive and too heavy for him. So it is with many of the tools my children seek to do battle today. You look to the tools of war of this world. What did David do to conquer Goliath? He depended upon the gifts and talents I had given him as a shepherd – a lowly shepherd. He could drop large, vicious animals with a simple slingshot and stone in order to protect his flocks. He was unnaturally precise. So when he went into battle he knew that to be successful he would need to use the tools I had given him. And only those tools. I have given you tools — gifts and abilities – that are perfectly suited for today. And I have also endowed you access to me. I will work through you. Just get out of the way and allow me to. Stop doubting. When you limit yourself you are, in fact, limiting me. I can do any and everything I wish to do – naturally and supernaturally – through you if you are willing to allow me to.  (2022)

Allow the Miracles to Happen

Mark 6:4-6   Then Jesus told them, “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his relatives and his own family.”  And because of their unbelief, he couldn’t do any mighty miracles among them except to place his hands on a few sick people and heal them. And he was amazed at their unbelief.

They had seen my miracles. They had heard me speak my Father’s truth. Yet, they would not believe. And because of their unbelief, they were not open to my miracles. Their unbelief closed the door to that. Will you close those doors? I know you believe in me. You trust me. You love me. Yet, you are unwilling or unable to believe that you can avail yourself of my miraculous power. Why? Is there anything impossible for me? Can I not do any and everything? So be open, child. Allow the miracles to happen. (2022) 

But Many Will Not

Mark 6:26 Then the King deeply regretted what he had said; but because of the vows he had made in front of his guests, he couldn’t refuse her.

So it is and will continue to be with many in your world today. They have publicly voiced opinions and beliefs that are proving untrue. They have declared those who do not agree with them to be enemies. They have abused and bullied those who do not obey and share their beliefs. Yet, those same beliefs are being shredded. Some will admit their errors, and seek to change. But many will not. Their pride will not allow it. Their inability to be wrong, publicly or privately, will not allow it. So, you must share Truth and then move on. They will bear the consequences of those decisions, just as Herod had to when he murdered John the Baptist because he had flippantly offered his step-daughter anything she wanted. (2022)
