MY HEART'S OUTPOURING~~

6/19/2011~~


(For truly saved believers in Christ)


Prepare us, Lord, prepare us for the dark days ahead, not only in the area of the physical, but especially in the area of the spiritual.  Help us leave behind us the tree of knowledge more and more and live from the tree of LIFE.  Help us to be faithful to You and to truth in the midst of persecutions.  We can do nothing without You and are not prepared enough, O Lord.  Rain down on us the revelations of the newer places in Your Kingdom~humility, perceiving You, hearing clearly, knowing what You will, but especially knowing You so well as we are hidden deeply within Your heart, looking at Your loving Face and trusting You. 


Help us rise up in all things in our battles against sin and Satan, reckoning we are dead to sin and Satan according to your Word in Romans 6:11 and help us come closer; help us to go deeper!   Draw us so we can run after You.  Leave us not where we are in any area~awaken all the sleeping places within us.  Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy! 


Humble us and cause brokenness, cause us to fall before You and know that we know nothing as we think we do.  "Prepare us", is my cry.  Let every new day be a day of adjustments, awakenings, discoveries, of the depths of Your heart and of Your burdens so we can identify with You and cling to You.  Let our gaze and our longing be to You, in the midst of all that is swirling around us.  We know that You always know all, see all, hear all~have all in control.  May we know You so well because we're tuned into Your Spirit and are increasingly sensitive to Your guidance and direction, Your impressions, Your very voice, O God. 


Help us to  speak up and speak truth.  Thank you for Your anointing and for Your authority.  Thank You for your graces and Your gifts.  Thank You for Your power and most of all, for Your loving Presence.  Thank You for listening to our prayers and cries and for knowing those who are Yours~Your foundation is firm and Your seal is sure.  Thank You for Your forgiveness and for Your cleansing with Your Holy, Saving, Redeeming, Delivering Blood.  Thank You for all the good plans You have for us and those we pray for as well, especially our families.  Thank You that You can reveal Yourself in a moment of time and open up a whole new world to those who have been blinded by Satan~those who have hardened hearts, stiff necks, rebellious and foolish ways, busy with their own lives, hurt and wounded, LOST, even as we were before You apprehended us and awakened us from our former destructive paths and caused our spirits to be born anew~regenerated.  What magnificent mercy!  Who can comprehend Your eternal love and mercy, O nail-scarred Savior and Lord, Prince of Peace and King over all?!   To You we bow!  We live and move and have our being in You, therefore, from our place in the heavenlies we command evil spirits to leave us and our families~to flee!  Praise God for our authority in Christ!


You are our only Anchor of Hope, sure, firm and steadfast.  You change not~You are the same, yesterday, today and forever.  Lover of our souls, Our Ransom, Redeemer, Maker, Beloved, Friend and Savior, Teacher, Guide, the One who feeds us with His very Words of Life and Spirit, there is NO ONE like You!  I adore You and I love You because You first loved me.  May all You have planned to do to transform us be so, for your good pleasure, for we were created for You and for Your pleasure.  We thank You in all of our adversity, knowing that You waste nothing and are able to use all that we have suffered through for our advantage and to the spoiling of the adversaries~to show forth Your greatness~to show the enemies of our souls that You are ever FOR us and not against us. 


I worship the Living God of the Universe~what a high privilege!  What an honor!  You are my very life and song and strength and breath!  I hide in You and look to You.

BUILD UP THE KINGDOM WITH LOVE

...That revealed Presence...keep loving it and don't let it go, for My Presence is not only from Me or of Me, but indeed is Me and loves to be so close and near and enveloping your spirit. Don't worry over what you should share or not share. If you feel a check, be quiet, but don't try to understand. There's a good reason for it and sometimes it doesn't even involve you so much as the other person. If you feel blessed to go forward and share, then share. There is always someone waiting to hear a fresh word of My Love for them...I told you before and I tell you again~Love, Love, Love conquers All~yea, is All.  Share My loving, tender, grieving, longing, aching, sensitive Heart~show it, My child. I reveal not to all in a direct way, My Personal Love, but as you already know, sometimes thru My children. You be one of those children and share with others~~My Love. I won't take away from you what I've already given, so share it, that is, My Love. It is healing, it is genuine, it works, it releases. Build up the Kingdom of God, My child, in this way. Build it up. Remember, knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8--Love suffers long, and is kind; Love envies not; Love vaunts not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeks not her own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil; Rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

Psalm 16:11--Thou wilt show me the path of life: in Thy Presence is fullness of joy; at Thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

REJOICE IN ME!

6/5/11~

Write.  Look at all I'm teaching you.  Look at all you're learning.  Look at all the new experiences~alone with Me and with many other unexpected people and circumstances, and REJOICE!  Walk in faith and trust in Me.  I AM working.  I AM listening.  I AM moving you forward and upward as you are looking to Me~looking Godward.

ONLY THE LIVING GOD CAN BREAK SATAN'S SPELL

6/5/11~

You know, Satan has everyone under his spell who does not belong to the Living and true God, Creator of the Universe.  Satan is moving all those who are not truly born of the Spirit of God in his current of lies and deceptions~illusions and delusions, i.e., the Matrix of this world and ONLY the God of the Universe can set man free! 

Satan may be the god of this world, but God is the God of the universe and greater is He in those of us who are IN Christ than he (Satan) that is in the world.  That means that the Living God has the LAST SAY. 

This spell over mankind can ONLY be broken off through God's power of love and grace, mercy and compassion, greatness and vastness and sovereignty!  So the answer to your life being saved from the power of Satan and his ways and world is to TURN to the Living God in repentance and He will set  you free. 

For sickness, He has healing~for demonic strongholds, He has deliverance~for sin, He has redemption~for depression, He has joy~for anxiety, He has peace.  There is no end to Him and His blessings for He is INFINITE in all~Endless and Untiring, willing in all to meet with you if you will turn your lives over to Him and His keeping power.

1 John 4:4
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

Luke 9:11
And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.

YOU ARE BEFORE ME

You are before Me...you are before the very face of God.  Keep writing.  I give you this privilege of seeking Me to find Me and I am blessed when you yield yourself to Me~to live and seek and commune from your spirit organ~your spirit man~your inner man that Paul talked about as he wrote to the disciples in Ephesus.  Yes, you have need of My strength to be given to your inner man, for it is there from which you commune with Me~be an aggressive witness, grow and mature, speak and write, live and follow Me.  The inner man is the starting point and from there your spirit linked to Mine emanates through your soul and your body to touch others, either serving and building up the Body of Christ or witnessing to the lost and the prodigals and all manner of living that is from the tree of life. 

For you to think of Me condescending to live within you is too awesome~it's unfathomable, yet, it must be believed with all your heart in order to move forward and God ward and upward.  Though you may feel as a grain of sand, yet I view you as a precious shining jewel.  Though you see your imperfections daily, I choose to show My perfection in you.  This is My delight~to shine in you and through you to others here on the earth~for you to be My hands and feet, so to speak, and to be My heart, eyes, ears, mouthpiece for My pleasure.  Remember, you were made in My image for My pleasure, child.

Zephaniah 2:3
Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD's anger.

Jeremiah 29:13
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man.

1 John 1:3
That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 1:9
God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

Philippians 3:10
That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death.

Luke 19:10
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

Psalm 27:8
When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

Romans 11:33
O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

2 Corinthians 12:9
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.


Luke 9:23
And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.




Philippians 2:13
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

THE BURDEN OF THE LORD

Burdens of the Lord~Inspirational Message~5/31/11

What are the Burdens of the Lord?  The Burden, the Burden, the Burden of the Lord.  It is deep, it is real, it is righteous indignation.  It is sorrowful and it is suffering and it is painful. 

But who of you are willing to take up the Burden of the Lord?  Not the many, for the many are entrenched in their own burdens, their own interests, their own complaints, rather than see what the Lord sees.  He sees all and shares with His own, but the many reject and refuse His heart's Burdens~the Burdens of the lost who are damned for all eternity, the Burdens of the truth~speaking and writing the truth, the Burden of dispensing Christ in truth, the Burden of persecution, the Burden of warning others loudly and clearly of their impending doom. 

For sure, most will not hear, but still, take up the Burdens of the Lord's heart and He will smile upon you with His smile of approval.  We were made for His good pleasure and not for the pleasure of man.

Take up the Burden and you will be one with your Lord!  Trust Him for all the consequences and the persecution.  You will be hiding in Him in the heavenlies.  To be at one with Jesus Christ, you must be willing to take up and share His Burdens of great love and mercy, yes, but also to be warning others of their blindness and deafness, their own straining in life without Him, their merry-go-rounds of life.  Speak up, warn, write, live and act as though you truly are carrying the Burden of the Lord!

                       **********************************************************************

Isaiah 13:1-13--The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.
2Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
3I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness.
4The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
5They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
6Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
7Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:
8And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
9Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
12I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
13Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.

Isaiah 30:27-30--Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:
28And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.
29Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.
30And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.
