31) Resurrection
I have felt your every joy and sorrow; but I am not just human. I am a conquering God. I will raise you up above your circumstances. I will raise you up above your pain and fears.
I will raise you up above your doubts. I will raise you up above your crumbling dreams and give you a new dream.
You will rise above; you will see what I see and know what I know. I am a generous and conquering God and I give freely to all those who ask Me. I am a compassionate God. I do not want My children to live in the debris and decay of this sin filled world. Remember, one day you will have much more of My mind, My heart and My emotions.
I will give you a new garment of hope, peace and joy. You are My new creation that I am constantly renewing. You are not tattered, worn and full of holes. You will be a stunning beautiful masterpiece of My love, grace and beauty. Seek Me. Enjoy Me, My beautiful and precious one.
32) Resurrection Part Two
You will rule and reign with Me because I care and want to give everyone the best. Every struggle will be used. Every fear will become a distant memory because I am an enormously great and conquering God.
My light shatters the darkness and My presence promotes holy power and purity. I know the time. I know the hour. I will come exactly on time and you will be there for the moment I have designed for you. You will rise. You will fulfill your appointed destiny. You will reign with Me in perfect justice and righteousness.
In My perfect light, sin will be vanquished like an ugly shadow. The faithful will find joy, peace and contentment under My rule. My beginning never finds an end. You will be refreshed and renewed continually in my fountain of joy and life.
33) Intervention
I have been watching you and waiting to see what you will do with your new freedom and peace. Will you build your Kingdom or Mine? Will you move forward and attack the darkness in your life? Will you declare war on passivity and grow in boldness?
I am waiting and watching you. I have pushed back the darkness but this is not the time to rest on your achievements. I want to raise you to new levels of wisdom, revelation, understanding and power. Do you depend on Me for everything? Yes, I mean everything.
Only I can prepare you for what is ahead. Only I can give you the victories you crave. Prepare for battle. Let Me be your eyes, ears and mind. I wish to reveal the secret strategies of the enemy to you. He who has ears let him hear. Listen, learn and love and I will give you a battle plan for the days ahead. Luke 16:10.
34) Watch. Wait. Pray.
Your enemy is lurking around waiting to steal your treasure. He has not given up his plans for destruction and confusion. This is not the time to go about life as usual. This is the time to long for the voice of the Lord as never before.
A battle is near, and you will become desperate for My voice. Do not sleep, counting on your peace and safety. Do not rest but take new ground. I am the only one who hears. I am the only one who moves and acts for you. I will give direction to those who ask Me.
I will give victories to those who are not satisfied with their spoils. I am ready to move and I am ready to fight your old foes. My glory is about to be revealed. Do you dare believe it? Then prepare to watch, pray and act as never before.
35) The Gift of Silence
Silence again? You are frustrated, discouraged and angry. Why don’t I say anything? Why don’t I do anything? I am the God of perfect timing and My silence fits this perfect timing. You are under the tyranny of the urgent but I see all there is to see, and I know every outcome.
My silence is My most loving response to you. It is my way of saying wait until the perfect time comes for the answer.
It may be that My silence will cause you to dig deeper and examine your own motives or your own heart; for this is also My purpose. Sometimes My silence will help you to be in alignment with My own heart.
I am always your good, good Father who gives the best to you. Do not let your frustration and impatience rule the day. This may delay My answer or lead you to more problems. So then learn to thank Me for My silence and trust Me for My perfect love for you. In this you will learn to be mature in every way; a child prepared for even greater things.
36) The Enemy
The enemies of the Lord were circling around the camp. They wanted to steal strength, hope, resolve and confidence in the Lord. They were planning their unexpected attack to catch everyone that they could off guard. Fear, intimidation, discouragement and deception where their weapons. They were lulling us to sleep with our own desires for comfort and peace at any cost.
The people of God did not prepare because they thought everything was fine. The people of God did not seek their Master because they were worshiping idols of comfort, money and steel. Surely the Lord will come quickly if we cry out to Him, they thought.
They did not notice how empty they were inside without their Master. So, the Spirit of God put a prayer inside their hearts, “We repent of giving our hearts to other things. Help us to be faithful to the end. Help us to be faithful to the end,” they cried. The gaze of the Lord looked down and sought for the people whose hearts cried out, “Let us be faithful to the end.”
37) The Puzzle
Sometimes I am so puzzling to you. That happens when I don’t do what you want Me to do or how you want Me to do it. All this, of course, makes perfect sense to you. Can the finite grasp the infinite? Can the temporary understand the Eternal? Can the present cope with the Everlasting?
Have you formed the heavens and shaped the earth? Do you know the name and number of every star? Can a mere puddle be like the entire ocean?
But I will give you this way of understanding some of Me, My friends. It is called the language of love and relationship. You see, the heart can know what the mind cannot grasp. The heart can connect when the mind is disconnected. Love overwhelms anxiety and it brings peace to the soul. The soul needs love more than it needs knowledge.
Love is the power that makes the universe work. It is My Love for you that will bring you back home to Me where you belong. It is the power of My Love that overcomes chaos and confusion in your lives. I am waiting to hear your words of love and to speak words of love back to you. Your heart can hold Me when your mind is not big enough to grasp Me.
38) King of Mercy
It is coming, it is here. Can you believe it? Can you receive it in your heart? Mercy for your coming! Mercy for your going. Mercy for your staying. Mercy for that which has been left undone.
Mercy for unforgiveness. Mercy for neglect and unkindness. Mercy for the stains of sin. Mercy for hopelessness and fear. My mercy pursues the lost and forgotten.
My mercy brings life. My mercy is the birthplace of love. Cast away your hearts of stone. Cast away your anger and bitterness. This is who I am, pouring out mercy upon you. You are a child of mercy, a product of mercy. If you want more mercy, give it away and it will be multiplied back to you.
Mercy makes a way where there is no way. It opens wide blind hearts and blind eyes. Yes, it is raining mercy, mercy and more mercy. Come, I offer you a drink.
39) Standing Here
I choose to stand here among you, My people, among your broken pieces, your shattered dreams and crushed hopes. I see your fractured hearts and hear your weak, hopeless cries.
But I have a wonderful plan. Yes, I know your pain and suffering; but I will gather all these up.
I will raise them up to my Father, who makes all things new. I will raise them up and We will make all these broken things into a priceless, precious and beautiful masterpiece.
Together we will turn your fears of failure into cries of triumph and victory. We will turn rags into riches. You see, We make everything beautiful in its own time. You live in the present, but I reign over eternity; and what I say and do will be the final reality. I will raise it up. I will raise it all up. So, beauty, life and joy will shine once again. I will raise it up to my Father.
40) Greatness
Many men proclaim their greatness and trumpet their deeds; but that is not My way. I was born a humble baby which has been celebrated for 2000 years. My head was pierced with sharp thorns for you. I carry holes in my hands and feet for you. For you I carried a heavy cross to Calvary. I stretch out My arms wide to embrace you.
For you I was mocked, cursed and spat upon. This is what I offer to you, My proclamation of worthiness. Who else did this for you? Who else thinks of you constantly? Who else longs for you eternally?
I speak to you in simplicity, beauty and humility. This is My offering to you, everlasting love that will never tire or run out, eternal and untiring devotion to you. So, let them brag and boast. I humbly give this to you; my complete devotion, a gift that will never be forgotten and a deed that will never fade away.
