See That You Know The Pattern
In life there will be sorrow, yet there is great joy in Me. Your security is Me, abundant reason not to lose your joy.
Pick up today as nothing adverse has occurred. Man must know the depth of his sin before he knows
the meaning of grace. Be at peace, little one.
Man will not find Me as he continues to seek activity rather than stillness. Stillness causes
one to reflect. Reflection cause the Holy Spirit to come. His coming is to cleanse. His cleansing enables the new life in
Me.
See that you know the pattern and why man resists Me. I say, be at peace, little one. Do not
be weary for once more I have refreshed you.
It is of more importance that you stay in My will and the following of the Holy Spirit's guidance and plan each day,
than to have a schedule that will be fruitless.
I can only bless as you follow. When you lead, all upset can occur. When you follow, the way
becomes clear and with ease you attain. Follow Me then.
I have satisfied you. I make the moments happen that you might see productivity occur. Schedule
nothing but meeting me first in your day. That is when the blessings will fall.
Child, you have seen the heart that is hardened against Me. I believe the word you used was shocked.
It left you speechless. Your tender heart before Me makes up for the offences that are against Me. When you examine your life
and conclude that you have done little, look at the way You have accepted Me, pleased and served Me. Is it no wonder that
I am by your side and granting you awareness of Me each turn in life. I love you, blessed child. I need you, not as an earthly
relationship that needs affirmation, but as a God who recalls that what was made was very good. I have loved you with an everlasting
love. Let Me minister to you today.
There is something on My
heart today, child. I am glad to have a listener that will discern My needs and longing to communicate.
I long to gather My children
under My wings as a hen does a chick. I long to be close. I long to comfort. I long to speak and to hear. I long to walk side
by side with awareness by others that I am near and dear to them, yet I am held at arm's length at best. If you would be willing
to keep on letting others know I am a personal, and not a distant Father God, that would be My desire and message to You today.
Often you are frustrated
that you cannot break through to a person. Psalm 55:19b "Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God." This
is the reason an untouchable child will not draw Me in. This is the reason why you cannot impact someone. What shall
I do then; visit with a rod?
My child, continue to tell
others of My feelings that accompany an unsatisfied state. Continue to come, and ask, and listen to
My heart. Continue to be at one with Me. Continue to not weary when there is silence. You may always hear Me each day
in the Word when you do not hear Me with lucid ears. Be aware that a famine for My word shall come. And those that are
not in My inner circle shall surely realize then, and only then, what they have allowed to default through neglect. Do not
become one of them. Strive to let them be as you are. This is what is upon My heart this very day. I love you, little one.
Never doubt.
I said that you would see
in the Spirit. I said that you would prophesy in the Spirit. I said that you would discern in the Spirit. I have said I would
stop the world to protect you if necessary. Why let reactions cause turmoil within in? Why be fearful when there is no need?
I am at your side and I will show you My mighty, strong hand. Do not care for the face of man and opinion. I will bless you
beyond your current comprehension. You do not yet grasp what I am doing in your life, but know that it is for the good of
My Kingdom, and child, I know that is what you desire above all things. In this I am pleased.
At the same time you are
observing unmitigated examples of those straying from the path of righteousness, I am also showing you those that have turned
to cling to Me. I balance your joy and sorrow. I make you complete. I talk you though all. In this you may rejoice that I
have brought you to this place where your eyes see those things, where your spirit knows those things, and where we might
talk freely of things to come. I must have a voice, and whether others choose to believe or reject, you plainly see
that you have no governing over this. Say often, "Thy will be done."
My daughter, you are beloved
by Me. You are wise to seek Me in all things and share your day, your full day, with Me. Others too shall arrive here. I am
planning on sending you helpers as your borders are being enlarged. I am planning on blessing those that can see beyond you
to Me. I am planning on doing those very things that I have assured you through the years would come to pass. I am blessing
abundantly. Count each blessing and thank Me. I see your grateful heart. Continue to share Me with others so that they may
know the path of spiritual prosperity with no bounds. Your unflinching and holy obsession with Me is delighting. Do My bidding
this day.
You are My beloved and you have found favor in My eyes. Rejoice that I embrace you. You
have put your trust in Me and I can never leave you. You are Mine and I have gotten thee with a Great Price. Continue this
year with more time with Me, more time ministering to My needs, and more time being sent for service in My Kingdom. You have
lived the life of consecration. Continue to blossom this year. Continue to love Me fully. Continue to hear My directions to
You. Do not be deterred by the others that have not heard Me instruct you. You hear, My child. You know, My child. You are
My melody of My delight. Walk in your Godly heritage.
Zep 3:17
The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over
thee with singing.
Oh My child, have you seen the atrocity presented in My Name? Have you heard declared that your
sins have not been resolved, but bound? Have you been pronounced judgment upon by a "higher" authority? This is what the Pharisees
did to My chosen ones, so much so that My people were afraid to proclaim the Name of the Sent One, who even healed on the
Sabbath to set them free.
Child, I absolve thee. I give thee not penance. Do you not know grace? Are you still without
understanding? Did I not even cleanse loathsome lepers? Have you failed to see Me as God Almighty and not man?
I know you are wounded and torn and tired, but will you not forsake the tradition of man to see
the Son of Man, your Lord, who forgives and buries your sins? Or will you drop money in the treasury instead and hope that
with enough repetition it might ease these horrible feelings you have? Child, I died for you. I bled for you. I attained your
eternal inheritance, not mere mortal man. Accept My free gift to you this day and do not look back upon the harsh bondage
the priests have laid upon you. They were not shepherds. Feed on this as I send you Truth and Love. Feed on the Bread of Life.
Rest in the assurance that I have loved you with an everlasting love and I will never fail or forsake you. Loose the bonds
that man places upon you. I declare that I have forgiven you and I remember your sins no more. Be at peace, my little one.
Little child, I watch over you in all that you do. I see you trying to be as gentle and loving
to others as I am with you. I commend you for looking at Me with eyes of love and faith.
Others have troubled you that they thought you to be too meek, too quiet, too forgiving, and
too pleasant, if the truth be told. I smile upon you because you look like Me. Each and every passing day you resemble Me
more closely. I bless you and commend you for finding the path that leads to eternal life. You are My blessed child and others
will some day recognize that you have been with Me much.
I love to express Myself to you. I love to reveal Myself to you. You are a gentle and tender
soul. You have sought Me and you have heeded My call. Go and represent Me to others through your surrendered being. Others
will be attracted through you to Me because You have learned of Me and followed Me wheresoever I have called you. Be blessed
for I am showering My love upon you. Tell others of Me. I am the Good Shepherd.
Foolish people that follow faddish gospel teachings and not the stalwart Gospel ministries.
Foolish people that exchanged the Truth for a lie. Foolish people that saw a delusional vision and ran with it. What shall
I say to the foolish? Mat 25:12 "But he answered and said,
'Verily I say
unto you, I know
you not.'"
Gather together with My people. Break loose from falsehood and
spit out any weeds you may have digested along your journey of life. Stand strong on My Word and that
alone. Nothing has happened to you that is not My will. Have I not promised persecution to those that preached the Gospel?
Many times I have told you not to be alarmed at what I would allow you to see. Many times I have spoken of that falling away
first. Stand firm and strong. Do not be deterred by the naysayers. Stand firm and strong. Stand at the watchtower and call
out what you see. Stand firm and strong. Get ye to the garner where I will watch over thee. Stand firm and strong. I have
loved you with an everlasting love. Stand firm and strong.
I will build up that which others have tried to destroy, so loose your fears and your hesitancy. Do
not retreat. The back seat is no longer the place to recline. I will help you to be an overcomer. Remain in My peace and equip
yourself with My armor. Peace be unto you, My little one.
And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only,
and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day,
to observe and to do them.
Beautiful one, the path has been straight and narrow. I had to bring you this way so that you would be very humble and
meek in your dealings with others. Your compassionate heart has blossomed. Your servant attitude has been apparent.
You have bore the heat of the day and the chill of the night. You have done that which I have commanded. You have not looked
back with regret less you stumble on the way. I will exalt you and honor you. You are the head and not the tail.
I want you to continue on with your cloak of meekness before others, but I want you to come boldly to the throne of
grace and storm heaven with your prayers for My glory to be displayed. I am working all out in your life. I am empowering
you for the tasks ahead. I am enabling you to have great faith. Do not be deterred at the critics. Did I not know harsh words
also?
Be prepared to follow Me wherever I take you. Just be and I will do. I love you and you are readied to glorify Me. You
are the head and not the tail.
Mat 28:18 And Jesus came to them and spake unto them, saying, All authority hath been given unto me
in heaven and on earth.
Precious child, so many are your fears. That is quite human. I will work
tenderly and gently in making you an overcomer and in sending you forth in Kingdom power. Begin to address every fear with
the Name of Jesus. Fear is not from Me.
What startles Me though is your innate fear of Me. A healthy fear and respect
of God is right and good, but your fear of what I might do to you or what man might do to you because of your belief in Me,
is not healthy and respectful, and does not come from Me.
You have bore much hardship and burden in your life perhaps, but you are
not uniquely pressed with encumbrance that is not common to all of mankind. You will admit that you know of countless others
that have carried heavier weights in life than you thought possible. And you remember those because they became overcomers.
Their sprits soared and that is what I am endeavoring to do with you, little one.
You are My treasure, purchased by My blood. Have I asked you to sacrifice
greater beyond My ultimate sacrifice? Have I asked you to endure what other saints have so that the pure Gospel can go forth
throughout the earth? How can you minister in My authority and power if you had no knowledge of what compassion was? How will
anyone believe you when you have no cognition of how the evil one roams this earth? Is there anywhere in the Word that I proclaimed
that there would not be troubles? Did I not have many more troubles and oppositions than you have even yet failed to recognize?
Come to the Living Word and let Me reveal Myself intimately to you. There
is where your love will grow and as your love grows, behold, your fears will begin to dissipate. Why cling to fears so tightly
when you could be clinging to Me instead? Nothing occurs to you that I do not oversee. Stop being afraid.
Dear one, the crowds always followed Me. Some to listen and learn and display their faith, and
some to criticize and argue and display their unbelief. Many, many times I had to withdraw to a lonely place to be with My
Father God. I also was starved for understanding and love, just as I was needing to be filled with His love. You too
feel this need, and yet you will not come apart to a lonely place with Me and listen and learn. I have so much love to give
you that you will only find by coming away with Me to this place of solitude.
You rush to people for company. You blare the radio, or TV, or a player for comfort from noise.
You sit there wishing the phone would ring or someone would appear on your doorstep to talk with you. Yet, I stand at the
door of your heart knocking and you do not pick up on that sound or signal. I want to have fellowship with you, and you do
not even pick up your Bible to learn of Me and to hear my Word to you.
Your life could be so blessed, so filled with joy and abundance, and yet you still run from Me
and not to Me. You still think that in much rush and activity your life would be full.
My little child, you have yet so much to learn about the Spirit-filled life. You will not find
that plan I have for you while you are too busy to learn of Me and to be with Me much. How many are your hurts, and yet you
will not let Me soothe them, let alone remove them. No one can do for you what you desire. I am the only One that can minister
to you, love you, help you, and fill you with divine life.
I often want to speak with you, and I long for you to talk to me from your heart, sharing your
feelings, so I can respond to you personally. Will you not take the time to be with Me? Must I no longer come to you because
of your indifference? I have a wonderful life planned for you. No man or woman can oppose it, but you can block it with your
free-will to shut Me out and make Me a Sunday God only.
I said, "Lo, I am with you always, even until the close of age." Will you begin to give Me a
little of your time? A little of your devotion? You will see your fear of being alone, is just that, a fear of foolishness.
You are never alone. I am with you. I want to minister to you and I want your chief priority to learn how to minister to My
needs. My need is to have you become one with Me. Hold Me back no longer beloved, as you come apart with Me so we can communicate
with each other. You will be a blessing to others then and they will want to know what your joy is all about. I
only can give you the joy you desire. Come, let us arise and go to the mountaintop together. Leave this valley behind. I love
you like no other. Return that love to Me. Please Me.
3Jn 1:2 "Beloved [fig., Dear friend],
concerning all [things] I am praying [or, wishing][for] you to be having things going well and to be having good health, just as your soul is doing
well." (ALT)
I call you child, or little one, because you must grow in knowledge of Me. I am teaching you much, but the classroom is
not excused until you reach heaven and dwell with Me for all time. My blessings of this wonderful Scriptural passage is based
on the success of your soul growth, not on physical confines and limitations. All things in your life will be met with great
success when you realize the ways of the Kingdom and walk in obedience to My will for you as you grow to resemble Me.
Little one, it is my deep longing to give you the keys of the Kingdom that you might minister in confidence and in power.
I want you to display fullness of life in Me so that others might so desire Me through you. I want you to prosper because
when you do, the Gospel shall prosper and go throughout the world.
Child, I want you to know My deep abiding love so that others may come to you and be assured of My reality, and My love
and My will to do good to them as I do to you. You must take limitations off of Me. I AM. That is a complete summary of Me--I
AM. In Me, nothing is impossible for you. You are My beloved and as you return this love to Me, you will find much ease in
growing to resemble Me, and to telling others of Me. You will be a great witness someday if you will continue to meet with
Me in these alone times and let Me teach you.
I am giving you success without limit as you learn not to limit Me. Go forth with My grace and be all that I envision you
to be, lovely child. And do not forget our conversation that we had today. Grow up in Me and be blessed. I love you like
no other. Desire a close walk with Me.
Precious child, you want new life and yet you will not come to Me to receive it.
I desire for you to embark on newness and fullness of life, an exciting adventure that has no end. Will you come apart with
Me?
"How is that, Lord", I hear you already ask in your heart, with questioning, before
I even tell you the path. Hush now, sweet child of mine, and listen with rapture as I explain to you. Your new birth comes
from the living Word. I am the Word. The Scriptures are Living Water. You must come daily to receive this Life in me. You
do not open your Bible because you believe it too complex for you. Your attention wanders and you seek to be entertained in
other places, from other authors, but do yet not yet grasp that I am the Author and the Finisher of your faith? How can I
build you up unless you come often to Me for your map and marching orders? It is all there in the Word. It is how I long to
talk with you daily so that you may become familiar with Me. I am already familiar with you. Can't you see that? Can you pay
Me the common courtesy of getting to know Me, intimately?
Your life is not flesh and blood. It is Spirit. It was not created by parent, but
by the Creator. Only I can nurture this area if you come to Me. Grasp how you would feel if a loved one would not meet with
you when you had great needs. Soon that relationship would fade. Don't let this happen with us, beloved. I long to reveal
My intimate self to you so that you might walk in knowledge and power. Can you excuse me for pleading with you? I want
familiarity between us and I am prepared to give that to you. Will you come apart for awhile as I teach you? I am envisioning
a beautiful you. Will you come apart with Me? I love you like no other.
My dear one, I have no other such as you. You are unique. You are one of a kind.
Your talents and gifts from Me were chosen with great care and with sacrifice. Eph 4:7-8 "But to each one of us was given grace according to the measure of the free gift of Christ.
For this reason, He [or, it] says, "When He
ascended on high, He led captive a group of captives and gave gifts to people." [Psalm 68:18] Now this, "He ascended," what is it [fig., what does it mean] except that He also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?"
I descended into the place of hell for you. Do you comprehend that? I did
that for you so that when I ascended to My home in heaven to reign, I could give gifts to you. Gifts that are to be used
for My glory. Gifts that will be recognized by others so that they might glorify Me. Gifts that you may not yet even recognize
as My sacrifice for you.
Will you ponder this? Will you acknowledge this? O, My little one, bring Me joy
by displaying your gifts. Bring Me joy by acknowledging that you are My dear one and I love you without condition. Fully.
Completely. I planned for you before birth. Before you were a thought. Before you took your first breath. I am excited for
you to acknowledge your gifts and talents. Please Me, child, like no other. Use what I have given unto you and you will receive
abundantly more than you can conceive or ask for, in Me. Go with grace now and rejoice in what I chose for you with sacrifice.
I bore that brutal beating and shameful death on the cross for your freedom, My
beloved. I desire that you take that knowledge, that descriptive passage in My Word, and apply it to what hinders you from
walking in My highest will and in the fullness of the Spirit. It is by understanding and applying My shed blood that you will
have the release that you long for.
I have no bounds. I am not hindered by your past. Your failures are all not only
forgiven, but forgotten. I have removed those sins as far as the east is from the west. I long for you to experience forgiveness
from God the Father so that you do not fall into guilt and condemnation from the evil one. It is he that torments you as you
unknowingly give him permission to do so.
It was God the Father's will to crush Me with suffering, but it is not My will
to do that to you. It is My will that you realize your blessed inheritance and walk in victory.
Precious one, I have set you free. I have redeemed you. I want you to know Me,
not just about Me. The healing you are in search for is here in the now. Isa 53:5-9 "He was wounded for our rebellious acts. He was crushed for our sins. He was punished so
that we could have peace, and we received healing from his wounds. We have all strayed like sheep. Each one of us has
turned to go his own way, and the LORD has laid all our sins on him. He was abused and punished, but he didn't open
his mouth. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter. He was like a sheep that is silent when its wool is cut off. He didn't
open his mouth. He was arrested, taken away, and judged. Who would have thought that he would be removed from the world? He
was killed because of my people's rebellion. He was placed in a tomb with the wicked. He was put there with the rich when
he died, although he had done nothing violent and had never spoken a lie."
Learn this well: My last words were, "It is finished." Your healing is complete.
Receive it, My little one. Peace be yours. Arise!
You restrict My love, little one, to only the world in general, and not to you individually.
You are My child and My love for you sent Me to the cross. Yes, for the world indeed, but for you, my beloved, I would have
gone for that alone. You restrict Me when You spread Me thin and do not cover your individuality with My love.
I know many harsh and intolerable things have caused you to think this way. I know of your hurts
from childhood onward. But these were not meant to give you excuse to not understand and grasp the passion I have for just
you. I want you to be willing to draw near to Me that I might display My love freely to you, without restriction. That I might
flood you with agape love which you have not really experienced personally. Yes, you know of the value of that word
agape that only refers to Me, your Lord, but I desire to have your innermost being receive it, not from the head upward, but
fixed within the center of your being.
Let me recreate in you what has been lost early in your life--awareness of My great love and
application of it upon you. Trust Me fully as I make you willing to accept My love for you. That will bring you the joy unspeakable
that you crave, and that will remove the undesired state you now dwell in. As always, I plead, come unto Me. This is My will
for you and it is necessary. You must receive this love before this flows on to the others you desire to reach for Me.
Be My vessel, but be filled first, for I love you like no other.
It is not often that you quiet yourself that I might whisper to you endearments. I know the stress and pressures in your
life and I know that no one understnds why that is so. I know and I understand. It is to drive you to Me for these quiet times
where I can not only refresh you, but make you a mirrored reflection of Me.
You must come more often. Come apart with Me. Let the to and fro go in your life as you seek to be with
Me more often. Just rest and reflect in My Presence. Just be yourself for I accept you fully as you are. And I envision who
you will become. It is more lovely and beautiful than you can imagine so come often that I might hold that mirror up for you
to see.
Others do not see you as I see you. You yet do not see so you must come to Me so that I can tell you of all the beauty
and meekness you possess when you walk in Me and endeavor to be like Me. I speak only the Truth so come unto Me
and lay your head upon my breast as I soothe your weary brow and remove the stain of sin from you. You are already glowing
after only a few moments in My Presence. Can you imagine the breathtaking joy of being with Me for longer stretches of time?
I want the best for You and I interceed on your behalf to receive it, My beloved. Let My peace flow in you and one day
it will not but begin to flow out to others. Be with me often, My little, one for I love you dearly, yesterday, today
and forevermore.
Joh 7:38 "The one believing [or, trusting] in Me, just as the Scripture said, 'Out of his belly [or, innermost being]
will flow rivers of living water."
In life there will be sorrow, yet there is great joy in Me. Your security is Me, abundant reason not to lose your joy.
It is of more importance that you stay in My will and the following of the Holy Spirit's guidance and plan each day,
than to have a schedule that will be fruitless.
