Holding Power

My holding power is much more powerful than the sinning power of your flesh. when will you grasp the reality of what has been done on the cross for you? Its work runs deeper than any force. Its power is so much greater than anything that may attempt to come against it.
When Y'Shua dies, all that hindered My presence from becoming active and available in your life was defeated. Think on that. What that means for you is the freedom to receive My life, My eternal life, and the wealth that comes to you by My presence being with you in your life forever.
When hardship comes, don't attempt to deal with it by your knowledge or ability. Apply My life to it. Wait for My presence to move. Rest in Me. See My work being done in all situations. Be free by My Spirit and you will have an abundance no matter what the outward circumstances might appear to be.
"The Angel of the L-rd encamps around those who fear Him (who revere and worship Him with awe) and each of them He delivers." Ps. 34:7.
From The Father's Heart

Unchangeable Heart

From My perspective, some of you are acting no differently than the world that is perishing. You are using its methods to change its unchangeable heart. Why would you think that true, lasting change can be accomplished by the ways of man? Laws never change hearts, for the heart is wicked. When you move in the flesh, fleshly changes result.
I have never called you to pursue anything but Me. When you do that, we move in the spiritual realm to change hearts, to save those who are perishing. My Word shows how fallen man is helpless to even see the need to repent and change his ways. My Word shows how My covenant is invoked when My Spirit moves on the heart to come to repentance. When that happens, eternal changes result. That is My way. You cannot see, however, because you want changes your way and you are ineffective because I cannot be with you - to empower you because it is not My way. It never will be.
I have one purpose for you now that you are mine. It is the purpose My Holy Spirit, Who is now in you, has always had. He has always proclaimed the beauty of Y'Shua to a world out of answers, a world dying in its sin. He has always moved so that those who are perishing might see, and come and be saved.
Why are you not moving in that same direction? All else that seems important is folly. I am not in it. Why would you be?
"A new heart will I give you and a new spirit will I put within you, and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you shall heed My ordinances and do them. Eze. 36:26-27.
From The Father's Heart
Over a period of my life, I hurt a lot of people, the street was all I knew, if I didn't beat it, it would beat me, so I got tougher. I don't get mad but I do get even, I lived to settle the score of my persecutor that started at seven years old. It was time for him to buy the farm,  I struggled with two voices, fortunately for him and me, the right one stop me in the fraction of a minute, a load was lifted off my shoulders  Months later he died at natural causes, right after he repented.
Having come to know My Father and being forgive - a clean slate - made my heart soft and I try not to hurt anyone. Lifetimes of differences and generations of separation disappeared on the level ground at the foot of the cross. The miracle of the cleansing blood that poured full strength through the corridors of time to restore each one of us, to the glory of the Father.

Carnal Mind

Your carnal mind cannot begin to understand what I have planned for you. I called you My children, That you can understand. When My glory is manifested, My Word says you will be as I am. (1 John 3:2).
If you could only believe. If you would only come close enough that I might express Myself to you. Your eyes are big towards what is happening around you. In your disloyalty, the world is powerful. In your obedience, you can see a little more of My perspective. There is nothing too hard for Me. There is nothing to fear if you choose intimacy with me over activity in the flesh. My plans for you - who you are now and what you shall become - do not depend on the world and its ways. they are not changed by loud voices.
Understand I do not change. I do not waver. I do not fail. My Word is true and at work even now in the din of life. To see My purposes, you must turn to Me. I don't mean for you to pray about things; ask you to come to be changed.
I am not interested in what you do as much as I am interested in who you are becoming. How can old things pass away if you remain in them? You are no longer part of this world. Separate yourself from it, for it is soon passing away. Only My Word, My ways, will remain. Come to Me now. I love you!
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. James 1:2-3.
From The Father's Heart
Grimy alleys and stark homes that had given up on trying to overcome their age and hopeless surroundings. A cancer-infested society with its gangs on every corner waiting for who know what, the hideous acts done in dark places, the hopeless attempting to find hope.
So many people in this world that I never really knew existed. People surviving on nothing, many hopeless, beyond imagination. But each one loved by You L-rd. What does it all mean?  I have taken in the 'throw always' You have sent my way, for I too have been a 'throw away'. Send me where can I serve You?

Spend Time

"In the Name of the L-rd," you say. You go about your business doing your works and call them Mine. How can what you do be truly Mine if you don't spend enough time with Me to hear Me, to search My heart, to find My ways, to know Me?
I am not in your feasts. I am not in your programs. I am not in your fellowships. A time is coming when those who think, hear My voice will see and understand who they have really been listening to. It is not Me. All the works of the flesh will wash away as so much grime. I will not complete what I did not initiate.
Stop praying for things. Stop working for men and their desires. Begin praying to search Me out. I can be found. I desire to be found. Those who choose to know Me are wide. Those who come to Me will walk the straight, safe path. My ways are sure. My time is well spent for those who have heard Me.
"…Forasmuch  as this people draw near Me with their mouth and honor Me with their lips but remove their hears and minds far from Me, and their fear and reverence for Me are a commandment of men that is learned by repetition (without any thought of the meaning). Therefore, behold! I will again do marvelous things with this people, marvelous and astonishing things; and the wisdom of their wise men will perish, and the understanding of their discerning men will vanish or be hidden." Isa. 29:13-14
From The Father's Heart
I have been to many churches, G-d impresses me to go, not knowing why I am there, eventually becomes know to me, sometimes through some little thing I do or say, sometimes there is something I needed to learn. Some I preached/taught in for a season. G-d has many camps and it is interesting to see how they were interpreting His Word. Many times tears fill my eyes as I survey the church body for many start out good then fall off course. Many have good intentions but lose the focus G-d had for that body, and I move on. Hopefully I find a 'home' to live out the rest of my years 'feeling like I fit in'.

In Your Life

How many people have seen My Son in your life?
How many have chosen to serve Me through MY Son because they have seen Him in you?
How many have turned from their ways to My ways because of your ways?
Does your neighbor know that you are My tabernacle?
Does your enemy know that you are told to lay your life down for him and agreed to do so?
Do you know that I love the abortionist, the pornographer, the homosexual? Do you know that I have sent you to them that they might see My Son through you, that they might accept Him? Do you have the eternity of your every contact in mind when you address them? if not, why not?
"…Go out into the highways and hedges and urge and constrain them to yield and come in, so that my house may be filled." Luke 14:23
"Behold, I am sending you out like sheep in the midst of wolves; be wary and wise as serpents, and be innocent (harmless, guileless and without falsity) as doves. …do not be anxious about how or what you are to speak; for what you are to say will be given you in that very hour and moment." Matt. 10:16, 19
From The Father's Heart

Holiness

I call you to holiness, but you are too busy to spend time with Me. I call you to a crucified life, but you cannot die to yourself. I call you to present My Son to those who are dead that they might receive His life, but you curse them in My presence.
Can you not see how cold you really are? Can you not see how far you've strayed from My purpose for your life? Who are you saving by your actions? What are the purposes of your comings and goings? Whose agenda are you following, and what is its end?
Wake up. The harvest is white and the workers are few. Pray to the L-rd of the harvest. What are His purposes? What is His agenda? Pray for wisdom that you might see with His eyes and move with His heart. The time is short and much is to be done.
"But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of G-d and not of us." 2 Cor. 4:7
From Our Father's Heart
Simple walks become spiritual journeys as the L-rd led the hurting, the empty 'in the lap of luxury' and 'the hardened by life' to  His trusted child, who is always available and obedient to share new life.  When I worked with a autistic person,  each encounter seemed to give me new life or somehow imparted to me the joy I had missed, myself as a child. I played with my new found autistic friend as she played and as she loved and as I prayed; in absolute fullness, total abandon, and childlike endeavor. There was no reason other than G-d's reason, no encounter other than G-d's appointment, no situation other than G-d's desire to show Himself to those involved as far as I was concerned.  I do not follow the 'rules' or guide lines on staff and client for I walk to the beat of a different drummer, nor do I report it …. the results in the client is always amazing as they teach me I am teaching them …. somehow.

Shine Brighter

As the world grows darker, My people will shine brighter because of the love they have for Me, each other and their enemies. His love has already been established in the heavenlies and is about to be poured out in its fullness upon My people. Holy alliances will be made one with another. Kinsman friendships will be established that cannot be intruded upon by the vile established that cannot be intruded upon by the vile jestings and coarse intrusions that are part of those who do not know Me. I call you to separate yourselves, but in that separation, I am also calling you, My children, to come together.
Some of you know the bond of adversity, some know the bond of fleshly desire and adoration, some know the safety of a kindred spirit; but no one has known the heavenly bond of the holy alliance that will knit My bride together for My work to be done and for Me to pour My love upon them. Establish it in your hearts now.  Those I call to Myself will know Me, and each other, with the love My Father and I have had from the beginning. Make no provision for the flesh in any relationships I bring your way. In My way there's safety, power, freedom and love.
 "…If anyone is in the Messiah, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" 2 Cor. 5:17
From Our Father's Heart
I am once more in awe of our Father in heaven that He would communicate with me when I would shut myself off to listen.  My L-rd told me to expect Him to be with me and to not be surprise by what He is doing. He kept telling me about lost sheep that don't know they're lost.  I was reminded of what it must have been like when Saul of Tarsus would tell of his life to those gathered in the local communities.  How the Spirit of the Living G-d must have fallen to nullify the objections, the doubts, the false wisdom of the learned. For the throne of G-d, in His presence, there is no special elite, no rank because money or talent or status esteemed by men. There we all become equal--sinners silent before a holy G-d. Every one has a story to tell and how they recovered from the life of darkness. Forgiveness, healing, love and freedom replaces the grimy sin of the streets.  "He who has been forgive much loves much" is becoming a reality.  I must warn you that what your biggest 'hurt' was is where He will use you most. For you been there, done that, and can tell others how G-d brought you through it all.

Don't Worry

Do not worry, for I have My hand on you. You shall not lack. Do not look to the things that are said by man. My hand directs the stars, My voice commands the rivers to flow. They would stop if I desired it. My desire is for you to serve me. Nothing will stop that. Draw close.
I notice the terrors of satan that bluff and talk as if they know what they are saying. They do not know what I have in store other than what I have told them. You shall go forth for I am your G-d. Not the god that can be changed by the whims of people, the G-d that is moved by faith in Me, being able to perform what I promise.
Have I not promised you? When will you realize the magnitude of My power? When will you begin to truly trust Me? Seek Me for Me; not what I can do for you, but for what I am as G-d. You have no idea what I have in store for you, but I am excited by what I see. I am pleased by My people that have said "Yes." When I am praised, all creation knows that I am G-d.
"All whom My Father gives (entrusts) to Me will come to Me; and the one who comes to Me I will most certainly not cast out (I will never, no never, reject one of them who comes to Me)": John 6:37
From Our Father's Heart
Meeting my Savior released tears that I had never been able to release before, you see I stop crying when I was seven years old and at forty G-d opened the ducks and must have forgot to close them again. So many years of being bottled up I can't cry like 'normal' people, tears just flow making so caged animal sounds. Memories of rejection and abandonment  wrack my whole frame. Anger melted in the light of love; rejection was washed in the love of acceptance; loneliness was erased by the Spirit of Adoption as this lost, wayward lamb was gently led home to warmth and safety in His arms, transformation of death to life takes place, a heat so long held captive and being freed.
Nobody has loved me like He does, can His Word be true? Do I have a purpose?
Do not give up for I know He has your name written in a book, you. too. have  a purpose!

Open the eyes of our heart, L-rd

Are we trapped in a form of Christianity that it not real? In a sense, we have to be taken out of the mundane life of earth and taken to a spiritual orbit before we can see. As we see what is taking place inside of us that is being magnifies because we are to see more each day with the eyes of our heart as we begun to set our hearts on things above instead of the things on this earth. this is what begins to open the eyes of our heart, our spiritual eyes.

Many are called, but few are chosen. Not many go on to make their calling and election sure. We are also being opened to the extent of the spiritual real. All over the body of the Messiah right now there are there are many on-ramps that people are beginning to find that will lead them, you may be ahead of them in time, but that is so you can become servants who can help them.

Most of the church world has been built more with modern advertising techniques than with the substance and power of the kingdom. Almost all people now, including Christians, have been conditioned to respond more to hype than truth. You can build the biggest churches and the biggest ministries with good marketing, but is the L-rd in them? Can you find Him there?

One of the main things we must learn today is to see further, deeper, and wider than we have seen before, or we will continue to miss the L-rd and the great opportunities He's given to this generation.

Some churches are only about the Spirit, some only about the Word and yet some are just fellowship groups, but remember the Word came first then the Spirit. We cannot think of ourselves as better than any other, or we will fall.  The church drifted from its course for most of the church age. This began when G-d's people started worshiping the temple of the L-rd more than the L-rd of the temple. Some  started worshiping individual truths more than the Truth Himself. Regardless of what kind of church we are a part of, we will suffer shipwreck IF we start esteeming our group, our church, as more important than others who are different from us.

We cannot think of ourselves as better or more important than others, but as servants of those who may not have had our experience. If we don't do this, we too will stumble and drift from our course, become proud of the grace we have been given and pass it on.

We are warned about the 'false brethren.' The wheat and tares are mixed together now and will not be separated until the end. They will look alike until both have matured. Only then will the difference really be seen.

The main purpose of the true church is to be the temple of the L-rd, seeing men and women as equal in His work that He had called them to. The main thin we should look for is the presence of the L-rd in them. It is one thing to be in a congregation where thee is good teaching, worship, and ministry, but it is something else when you feel the L-rd moving among people, and where He is the true focus of attention.

If my personal ministry is getting more attention than the L-rd is, I should be concerned that I have departed from my main purpose. I have learned the vanity of just trying to build a ministry or influence, even when it is for a good reason. When we mature we will want to help prepare the way for the L-rd by helping to prepare His people for Him. If I am only increasing people's attention on me I am failing in my most important mission.

I do not feel comfortable being the focus of attention. I would much rather lead in a hidden way, by helping to steer people toward their destiny rather than being out in front.

Even in writing this as a form of leadership sharing knowledge learned, is a burden to me, but I am doing this out of obedience, but it is not comfortable being in the light of fire.

I know, at times, I can be a clumsy person socially, when He calls on me to lead it just makes me lean on Him more than anything else I know. So I do embrace it even if I don't feel comfortable with it. No person is capable of doing what they are called to do without G-d's help. That’s is why we were given the Helper. Feeling constantly inadequate makes you learn to lean on and trust in the L-rd, to constantly seek Him.

My goal is to be successful as the job I've been given, and that job is to prepare them for the King's service and to follow Him. My personal goal is to hear on that great Judgment Day, "well done good and faithful servant.

The Wilderness

When the L-rd calls someone He prepares them for their purpose throughout their whole life.
The great treasures of the kingdom and the way to the great adventure is found in biblical study and researching things like His Word, church history and culture. Seeing G-d's people built together into His kingdom, and to see Him working with actual people to the glory of the L-rd in what He does through all of us personally. To see how each one is being fit together into the city of G-d.
I have found great treasures of knowledge in my own personal studies in the great adventure of following Him down the path of life, it is the most fulfilling and thrilling times of my life - spent with Him.
There is hardly anything as boring as church life that has been institutionalized, that has stopped pursuing the great sojourn that the true Christian life is meant to be, and seeing His Book as a Jewish book and where we fit in.
The Scripture says that the path of the righteous gets brighter and brighter until the full day. We'll have challenges and trials, count it all joy when we encounter various trials. If we approach each trial as the opportunity that it is, our journey will always lead to glory and victory. Each trial usually results in a much greater bonding among those with whom you experience them.
I've been through many wildernesses and found that the place where you receive a promise from G-d and the fulfillment of the promise, there is always a wilderness to go through to get to the fulfillment. Each wilderness is unique, and each one designed to prepare us to be a good steward of what we've been promised. The real work of G-d to fashion us into what we are called to be is done in the wilderness. If we appreciate the trials and embrace  and the lessons He's seeking to teach us, we will get out of the wilderness quicker to receive what has been promised.
Learning that we can all be as close to G-d as we want to be. It was in the wilderness that G-d's first dwelling place among people was built.  Where He is, is heaven, so building Him a place to dwell with us can turn any wilderness into part of heaven, bring heaven to earth.  We are here to follow Him, not just take him with us. Y'Shua will always lead us in His triumph, so let him lead rather than us trying to lead Him to where we want to go.
We are to get to know one another and seeing our purpose with one another, not destroying people or pointing fingers, but  have a family relationship for we are all members of His family. The time is running short, He must be your Teacher, Shepherd, and Leader. One of the L-rd's chief delights to share with His people the treasures of wisdom and knowledge, curiosity is a wonderful gift to have for their hunger for knowledge is contagious. We were created for adventure, life is adventures. This is where everything that has happened in our lives starts to make sense.
The L-rd did not say that we would be given a life of abundance, but rather an abundant life. Having an abundance of life does not mean that it is all good or easy, but that there is a lot of it. Life becomes focused, condensed, and everything crammed with meaning. We are being fashioned into what we are called to be or if you are choosing to remain where you are in order to take the path least resistance or lease risk, doing this more out of a lack of faith, you will be lead astray. We must make every decision based on the purposes of the kingdom, seeking the kingdom first, or we will depart from the right path. If we are still looking back, we are not ready to go forward. Even the most severe obstacles are to be seen as opportunities to win greater victories and make a grater advance towards the goal. Forgetting what lies behind, press on towards the mark of the high calling of G-d.
You will never feel adequate if you are in the place He has set you, because you will never be adequate within yourself. The L-rd has some of His best men and women making ultimate sacrifices to purse Him and to join Him in what He is building.
Enjoy the wilderness for you are only passing through! It's what you do with your time that counts.
