Did you ever look at a rose? A rose is so perfect as it opens up its bud. The colors that are so brilliant, we know only God can do this! We proclaim how beautiful His creation is. Only a great Creator could make the beauty that He has. The mountains speak of His splendor. The ocean speaks of His vastness. The heat and warmth of the sun speaks of His faithfulness. His rolling hills speaks of His neverending wisdom and riches. The twinkling of the gazillion stars speaks of His neverending love for the nations of the earth. He loves us so much that He created this great beauty for us. He created us to worship Him, the Creator. How can we not adore the One who makes the sun shine on the waters to make the waters shine.
This same wonderful God who has a great and tender heart gets hurt just like we do…. Did you know that? Look what is written in Ezekiel 6:9-10; Then those of you who escape will remember Me among the nations where they are carried captive, because I was crushed by their adulterous heart which has departed from Me, and their eyes which play the harlot, after their idols; they will loathe themselves for the evils which they committed in all their abominations.
And they shall know that I AM the Lord; I have not said in vain that I would bring this calamity on them.
When I read the above scriptures how and why God’s heart was crushed. I thought, WOW! I never imagined God’s heart could get hurt from our turning away from Him…… But we are made in His image…. If we get hurt by injustice or betrayal- so does He. I wept when I knew God’s heart could get crushed….. How much more did I thank our Heavenly Father for His Son Jesus…..
Jesus also wept over those He came to bring close to Him, because they would not draw close as written in Luke 19:41-42; Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it, saying, If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.
Our Mighty God has created such beauty because He is beautiful…. Also, out of His treasuries comes the cold and the frost and snow….. Who can stand before His cold?
It is wise to have the fear of the Lord. It is wise to bow and kneel before Him and honor and obey His commands. His commands are His instructions to life, His life eternal…..
Think, beloved, a life that never ends but just increases every second…… This life resides inside of us- believers….. He is awesome and now we are. Yup, we are awesome because He is in us!
His commands are not hard to live to a regenerated heart….. A baptized heart hears his or her God in the dawn and in the night…..
He has given us a baptized and tender heart like His own…… Written in our hearts are the Words of our God….
If Jesus Christ is the Word of God, then Jesus Christ is written on our hearts….. He is close….. He is that close….. He does not miss a thing….
His love is a story to us because His commands are not grievous, but full of life and peace and righteousness.
How can we make the tender heart of our God and His Son weep?
Can we really draw near to Him and think He does not see our double minded heart? Really?
We draw near with a lot of words and drama, but, in the secret place, He sees our all……
Can we now draw near with our hearts before the Day of His Promise and be honest?
Repent and let Him restore us to His heart. Stillness in our lives allow His breath to blow away the earthly strands that hold us away from Him.
There are to be no other lovers but He wants all of our heart and mind and soul and strength….. He is worthy and He will also show us how to live:
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
Allowing His Spirit to restore his sons and daughters to Himself. Give him our heart of stone and let Him restore us to Him by putting in us His Spirit of life …..
A while ago, I said, these are the days of Elijah…… There may be drought, which sort of, shows the drought of our heart not partaking of His Living waters, His Spirit in us.
A pure heart as written shall see God…..Remember, what is in heaven, shall be here. We bind what is not in heaven and loose what is in heaven here. The Kingdom of God is within…… Yup!!! Within us? No Way!! And I say, Yay- way!!
As written in Luke 17:21, Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, See here! or See there! For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.
But Jesus also said this……..
Mark 7:14-23; When He had called all the multitude to Himself, He said to them, Hear Me, everyone, and understand:
There is nothing that enters a man from outside which can defile him; but the things which come out of him, those are the things that defile a man.
If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!
When He entered a house away from the crowd, His disciples asked Him concerning the parable.
So He said to them, Are you thus without understanding also? Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him, because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated, thus purifying all foods?
And He said, What comes out of a man, that defiles a man.
For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.
All these evil things come from within and defile a man.
So learning of the depravity of man. Learning of our own depravity in our hearts….. O, man, what shall we do?
We bow in thanksgiving to Jesus Christ and our Father for the sacrifice of His Son to take our sin to death and rose…..So where are we now in God’s eyes, if we have believed in Jesus Christ as our Savior?
Romans 8:1-14; There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh on account of sin: He condemned the sin in the flesh,
that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.
So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.
And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
Therefore, brethren, we are debtors- not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.
For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, theses are the sons of God.
So our beautiful God has given us His Promise, His Holy Spirit. Then by His Spirit we will live and be in His pleasure by His Spirit. For we live by faith and not by sight…..
I do not want to ever – ever crush the heart of my Heavenly Father, ever….. or my King.
I am so grateful you agree too!
We live by His grace and by the Spirit of God who lives big inside of us! He is not tiny in us, or there is not a small measure…… We are complete in Him and yet, Him in us, is tiny?
NOPE!!!!!
His Spirit is the Spirit of the King of the universe and beyond. He is King and He is not stingy. We must not judge God as we know mankind…. One of His angels slew 185,000 of God’s enemies….. His riches and blessings towards us are unsearchable….. But we still search Him out!
Think bigger and better of His love for you and me…. He is mighty in pulling down our strongholds of religion and unbelief that stands against His Truth.
His love is greater and mightier than a whirlwind or a mighty Tsunami….. His love breaks open the dry earth of our heart of stone, He puts in us His heart of flesh and brings living waters flowing abundantly out of us!
Do you see and know His beauty now….. It is in you and it is in me…. Beloved, draw near to the rushing waters that are flowing from His throne….. Run – don’t pitter patter here and there….. There is nothing in this world that compares to running to His cross where the blood and water flows creating His bride. He is longing to give us the flowing gushing waters of His great love towards us, His Spirit, if we have Him not…… He is in us and longs us to be with Him forever……
See His beauty. See His eyes of love. Turn to Him and His arms stretched out wide waiting for you…..
He has poured forth His love….. Receive Him…. He is walking up and knocking on your door.
You opening it? Let Him in….. I promise you – You will remember this day in greater measure than as you remember your own birthday.
He is unforgetable….. Yet, He tells us always to remember….
How do we forget?…… The world tries to drown Him out and His Word.
Many are speaking of their rights…..
My question to all is what about God’s rights?
This is His creation and we are His creation.
Is not His worship due Him? ……..
If you differ, well, the story of time ends that Jesus Christ will be all and in all……
You always have an alternative, the lake of fire…..
You may choose not to receive His beauty and His love into your heart and believe in His Son……
WHY?
You are missing out of the greatest love and adventure in your life……
Movies are fun to watch but I rather live in His movie….You have a part. We all do.
We are all created to give Him glory- We are either a vessel of His mercy or His vessel of His wrath.
Now the people of Israel missed seeing Jesus, not all of them, but many of them….. Even those who followed Him, thought He was going to restore the kingdom of David. They had their own agenda.
Their hearts were not aligned with the purpose of the Messiah and His Father…..
Elijah’s come to the scene when the current trend is very far away from God’s plan…..
If everyone heard God as their breath, the Elijah’s would not need to bring restoration of His people to our Heavenly Father.
I believe our God desires we all live in Enoch’s day. I know the Lord’s prayer in John 17;22-23 is answered, but we must apprehend it like we did Jesus’ death on the cross and resurrection to ourselves personally……We take the Truth by faith and live by and in and for Him alone.
And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.
So let us take a deep breath.
Let us let it out as we repent.
Let us turn to see His Voice.
Let us know we have been made to hear this Holy One.
Let us step into the thunder of heaven.
Let us live in the fire and water of His love.
Let us take up our cross and know the weight is light.
Let us jump in joy as we fly into His purpose.
Let us live by faith in this Son of God for
as the days we walk are as Enoch.
It is no longer I who live but Him in me.
My heart rejoice for My King is here.
I do not need to look here and there;
for He is here!
Selah!
Children,
You are so concerned and troubled over many things. Come to My feet and learn of Me. Your heart will be quieted and peace of Me shall reign. Do you bend your ear to hear Me? Or is the vision you are hearing from the many voices of the world? Who has your heart? Does fear awaken you in the night or does My gentle voice singing over you awaken your heart to hear? Which do you choose?….. Are the many voices speaking louder captured your heart? In fear or in My peace. Your choosing will lead you today and will bring your fruit of tomorrow. Some choose television versus My vision…… Come to Me all who weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Know Me as your Prince of peace.
I AM your good Shepherd. I AM will lead you to still waters where your heart may hear Me…. Watch what you hear, the evil one loves to entangle in fear…. A mighty web is being laid for your heart to fall. Fear is his fruit and death is his goal for you…… Turn to Me and have life. I AM knows all you need to know. My Spirit will tell you of all things to come, but alas, you do not come…… Your ears are your betrayer. Who do you trust? I AM the Beginning and I AM the Last…… and the present is Mine. Is My arm shortened that I AM will not save? I AM God and I AM does not change….
As I AM walked the earth, the fear of the Romans led My people more than I AM….. Do not let the fear of men be sounding louder in your heart then My love…. Trust Me and have peace. Trust Me and have life everlasting. Trust Me and know I AM will never let you go or forsake you.
You do not know Me. Come to Me and I AM will tell you things that you do not know…… and then when they come to pass, you will know that I AM has spoken…… Come to Me, and know you are forgiven and free. Live in I AM and free you will be. Do not hesitate or wait for tomorrow is Mine. You do not own your days, I AM does. Do not be like the child whose father made a wonderful house for him to live and beautiful room for them to share……. He looks for his son, but alas, the son is sitting in the dirt waiting for another day to come and does not turn to hear his father calling him to his new home.
There are many that hear My voice and go on as if it is one of the many voices in the world….. Be the one, who stops and asks Lord, I am listening speak to Me. Let me know Your sweet voice….. Let my heart rejoice that my ears do hear. Give me Your grace abundantly so I may live the life you have called me to partake. Pray to be hungry and thirsty. Come to My feet and hear My words. I AM the Light of men, but men wanted to remain dark in their soul or chained to their riches of this world. Do not let this be you. Come to Me, I will give you rest.
My food is everlasting. My Word is never passing. Believe in Me and so shall you see all that I AM has given thee…. I AM loves you today, yesterday and forever. I AM does not change. Come to Me…. I AM waiting. Please Me and come.
SELAH!! SELAH!!
Father God, send your rain. The land of our hearts are thirsty for Your Spirit. We ask for Your grace to prepare our hearts for Your Spirit. Show us how to still our souls for Your arrival.
In Jesus name, we ask….. You said, Lord, anything we ask the Father, in Your name, we will receive…… We are waiting and excited for Your refreshing arrival.
Thank You. We draw near to You with repentant hearts….. We love You. Teach us to love You more. We are listening.
Your children
