12/11/21 Time to Move

If you’re interested in pleasing God, it’s time to make some steadfast choices. As a believer, a full commitment to the Lordship of Jesus Christ is paramount in anything you do. Without that full-sway commitment, whatever you may attempt will more than likely lack the full presence and power of God behind it. That’s not a good thing!

After you understand the wonder of your relationship with Jesus, you’ll be able to fully accept your role in His plan. That’s a personal thing between you and the Lord. It’s been formed for you in heaven from the beginning of time. As you seek your Father, you’ll find out why you’ve been born. You’ll understand God’s purpose for giving you breath. That’s a good thing!

As you walk in the new life in Christ, you’ll find the power to fulfill any role God gives you, especially the very important roles of husband and father. Because those roles are very dear to your Father’s heart, you’ll be able to access His unlimited resources to help you love, guide, and protect those you steward. You’ll be able to overcome any challenge sent your way through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Isn’t it time to step into the role you have been designed for without any reservations? If you do, it’s a very, very good thing!

Let’s talk more!

12/10/21 Sudden but Not Unexpected

“In a few short moments of heavenly time, I will be calling the bride of My Son home. It will be sudden, but not unexpected, for those who are truly waiting for His return. I have been observing the preparations that are transpiring in the heavenlies for that wondrous event. Much excitement is the order of the day, as all is very close to being complete. Everyone is in union with My Spirit and all is in order.

"It is much different from what is going on in the physical realm. The contrast between those who are truly waiting for the return of My Son in order to be with Him and those who are only waiting for their reward is becoming very clear. Those who are waiting for Jesus know all the signs, understand the seasons, and are filling their lamps at this very moment. They are pressing their wedding garments. Others are recognizing the signs but are too busy with the distractions of life to focus on searching only for the oil of My Holy Spirit. Still others see all that is happening in their midst only as distractions from pursuing the things that are dear to their hearts. They care little about what I care about and are consumed with their own needs. These will be sad days for them.

"Dear children, do not put aside the heralding that is becoming more evident each moment. It is resounding through the heavenlies and soon will join in choruses of praise with those who have prepared for the wedding feast. Some of you will wonder what that incessant noise is all about!”

Matt. 25:1-6 NIV

1) “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.

2) Five of them were foolish and five were wise.

3) The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them.

4) The wise, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps.

5) The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.

6) At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet Him!’”

John 12:28-30 AMP

28) [Rather, I will say,] Father, glorify (honor and extol) Your [own] name! Then there came a voice out of heaven saying, I have already glorified it, and I will glorify it again.

29) The crowd of bystanders heard the sound and said that it had thundered; others said, An angel has spoken to Him!

30) Jesus answered, This voice has not come for My sake, but for your sake.

Rev. 22:17 AMP

The [Holy] Spirit and the bride (the church, the true Christians) say, Come! And let him who is listening say, Come! And let everyone come who is thirsty [who is painfully conscious of his need of those things by which the soul is refreshed, supported, and strengthened]; and whoever [earnestly] desires to do it, let him come, take, appropriate, and drink the water of Life without cost.

 

When I first came to the Lord, I remember this one person who had received a revelation of the bride of Christ and the holiness that accompanied that heritage. I remember sitting in the room with a bunch of others as she explained what the Holy Spirit had revealed to her.

In her enthusiasm, she was incredibly animated, flowing in a freedom that I had never seen in her before, bright-eyed and glowing. The rest of us sat there in a silent stupor, not having a clue regarding what she was talking about. When she was finished, I think she might even have been interrupted and jokingly told to “cool it.”  We went on to some other “important” subject, all expressing some form of “wisdom” on that topic. I think that will be the kind of glaring separation seen in the heart of the church in these end times.

May I hear Your voice, Lord,

12/09/21 Sold Out Followers and Friends

“Discern the paths that people I bring into your life are taking. Observe how deep they desire to go with Me. Some are hindered from giving everything to Me because of deep wounds and poisons in their hearts. You must tarry with them as long as they move toward being healed. If they choose to remain in their wounded state, I will remove them from your company to deal with them Myself. They will only consume your time with their pity parties and sidetrack you from spending valuable time with Me.

"Others will delight in My Word at work in their lives and embrace the refinements that I am taking them through. You must come alongside them, and minister to their needs as I direct. You are to be an advocate friend, a trusted alliance. Receive and give away My life one to another. I am building My remnant church.”

Lam. 3:27-28 AMP

27) It is good for a man that he should bear the yoke [of divine disciplinary dealings] in his youth.

28) Let him sit alone uncomplaining and keeping silent [in hope], because [God] has laid [the yoke] upon him [for his benefit].

Amos 3:3 KJV

Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

John 13:34-35 NIV

34) “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

35) All men will know that you are my disciples if you love one another.”

 

Because of the nature of our outreach, Merry and I have the thrill of coming in contact with many believers who have chosen to sell out completely to the Lord. To most of the church and the world, some of their lives look out-of-order or unsuccessful. The opposite is true, however. They are in training. They have responded to the crucified call of their Lord and have separated themselves from anything that does not honor God.

As we share needs, desires, and victories, God is welding alliances for His work to be done. He is also preparing His remnant church as a waiting bride.

What treasure there is in friends whose hearts are turned solely to God. What a delight to share the real Gospel life with them. What astounding wealth is shared as we, at times, desperately need the Lord together.

Thank you for sold-out friends, Lord,

12/09/21 Violations of Trust

From the book, The Father Factor, by Jim and Merry Corbett

During the course of a significantly dysfunctional marriage, many violations of trust occur, and they little by little erode the safety of the marriage. The spiritual seal of the marriage has been broken, which allows inroads for continual harm if these violations persist. Let’s rediscover the brilliant plan of God to preserve the safety of your marriage, so that you can rebuild it into a powerful unit that affects the world the way God originally intended.

One of the most important yet often ignored aspects of a marriage is the violations of trust by either the husband or wife. Sometimes they occur with the help of devoted, unknowing friends who are more than willing to walk with you through all the wounds you and your spouse have received from one another. Sometimes these violations are even brought into play through professional counseling. Another avenue in the body of Christ that can lead to trust issues between husband and wife is the prayer request that concerns your marriage. Whatever form it takes, these are all an open window into the privacy of your marriage, and a hindrance to any healing that’s vital in making your marriage a powerful force in the hands of God.

A healthy marriage is a place of safety where two less than perfect people are privileged by God to see the inadequacies and failures of the other, all so that they can hold each other before the Lord so that healing can take place. The covenant marriage is sealed from any outside influence, so that each party has a safe place to fail without the fear of the scrutiny of others and the detriment of gossip. If there is a need for counseling to clear some things up so that you can continue, you must set parameters that protect the privacy of both parties. Walking prayerfully within those parameters reseals your marriage and places God back in charge of your relationship. The bottom line is this. How can you and your spouse truly trust and be vulnerable with one another if you continually wonder what everyone else knows about you?

Let’s talk more!
