Mat 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

There is such hostility these days directed at those that are preaching the Gospel. There is such apathy of those that are called by My name to share the Gospel with even their neighbor. There is much confusion and mayhem within the church by those that are dissecting My Word and choosing only what will appeal to the masses. Without there are fightings and within there are fears.

Friend, there is no higher way that you could please me in works but to see that the Gospel is preached to the uttermost parts of the world so that the end may come. Dwell upon ways that you can contribute to fulfilling the Great Commission. I am not limited by your environment.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

Even so, come, Lord Jesus and be our pulse to quicken the spreading of the Gospel throughout the world. Amen.

Mat 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Child, you are saved by grace. You are loved with an everlasting love. Be strong and courageous. I am with you always.

Continue to faithfully discharge your duties. I know how some test your love and patience. I know that at times you wonder if you have sinned against Me or betrayed Me.

I am here today, loved one, to tell you to endure to the very end remembering I am the Author and Finisher of your faith. I am the good Shepherd and I have in store for you a a crown of glory that fades not away. I am well pleased with you. You shall prevail and I shall bring with Me victory as I come to you and strengthen you.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

Let us pray today, (Psa 18:3) I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. Amen

Mat 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

You do see that iniquity abounds each time you look around. I see your heartache as you see the corruption in the world you live in. My heart weeps also as I look upon the earth.

I have also said that the love of many waxes cold as surely as iniquity abounds during such a time as this. I have given you an extraordinary love for Me and for others. I have placed a hedge upon your heart so that love does not fail you. In every decision you must make let love guide you for I have imprinted my heart upon your spirit.

Do you fully understand love, My child? Not with human reasoning and experiences in your life that comes by contact with others. But by that gentle touch I once gave you, that unexplainable peace that permeated your being, and that Presence that came to you in your time of need. No one could see it or feel it but you alone, beloved. This is intimacy with Me as the Divine Holy Spirit empowered and equipped you for service in My Kingdom.

Though the storms may rage keep looking up with joy abounding. I am with you. You are sealed and given the earnest of the Spirit in your heart.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

We thank and bless the Lord with all that is within us. Yet, what we do not fully understand now, we know that His love enabling us cannot be measured, only passed on to others we meet along life's journey.

Mat 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man lead you astray.

Forgive that one in whom you sat under their feet and were taught early on in life things about Me that were not true. That one that caused you to keep at an arm's length distance from Me at one time. Is it not enough that I have called you by name and I have led you into green pastures?

Do you not recognize that it is My Spirit within you that creates that intense search now through the Scriptures whether these things you hear now are so?

For this hour, I have raised you up so that the Truth that is within you now may be left as a legacy to those little ones in Me that will lead in righteousness as times of darkness come upon the face of the earth.

Many are void of the gift of discernment. Thank Me, beloved, for the operation of this gift I grace you with, by the Holy Ghost, that will circumvent the wiles of the evil one as you are used to set captives free.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

Christ Jesus, in His abiding love for us, shall not let a hair of ours fall to the earth without His foreknowledge. Abide in the gifts He has graced you with.

Mat 23:11-12 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

Friend, I have called you to serve. I have blessed you with a servant's heart. I have given you the gift of helps. I have touched you with meekness.

Though the world around you does not always see how the fabric of your being is highly used by Me in the tapestry to holiness, My Words through your voice shall gather many in this last hour unto Me.

Continue to honor me in whatsoever you do. My hand is upon you to guide and bless despite what you are feeling today. One day, your works, done in My name, will cause many to accept Me as Lord and Savior and desire the same heart I have given you.

I assure you of My love and My delight in you, this very day, with a token of My pleasure given to you. You, My friend, are a cherished treasure. Be at peace.

With Love Eternal,

Lord, we humbly accept our calling and gifts given freely by You in our service for the furtherance of Your Kingdom. As we accept our stature in this life of being called a friend of God by You let us continue to walk on the path that You have ordained for us. Amen

Mat 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Mat 22:38 This is the first and great commandment. Mat 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Little one, you tell Me, "Yes, Lord, these I do." Upon this earth, I will let the evil one consider your stance in Me. When trials and afflictions come upon you, fear no evil, for I am with you. I will show you what is in your heart. I will deliver you. I will vindicate you. You are My beloved and I am yours. Rest in the assurance of My abiding Word within you that My people will never be ashamed and I am keeping your soul.

Mat 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen.

One who has been bidden and lives a chosen life prefers nothing above Me.

You have received salvation by sanctification of the Spirit.

Let your relationship with Me be known to those who cross your path, blessed child.

I exhort both men and women to live in the purity of the Gospel, and in your individual lives. By this, others will know you walk with Me and will also desire to enter within the strait gate that leads to eternal life in My Presence.

I will highly favor you with an abundant spiritual life which will astonish all. Behold, I will do a new thing in your life and you will know I have graced you beyond measure. Be at peace as you wait upon Me in all things. I love you and bless you this day, My chosen one.

Mat 21:28 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard. Mat 21:29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went. Mat 21:30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not. Mat 21:31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.

Child, you have proved yourself to be dedicated and loyal to Me. Continue to let your yes be yes and your no be no. I am requiring perfect obedience in you. Not to others but to Me.

You are struggling with those that cannot see Christ within you and will not receive the words I have sent you to speak. Remember that anyone who welcomes you welcomes Me. And anyone who welcomes Me also welcomes the One who sent Me, God the Father.

As you know, in a vineyard, there is first the labor before the crop gives yield. Pray therefore that the fruit of your work for Me bring forth great harvest. I am with you assisting and blessing and doing a work in your midst that will one day be visible to all.

My promise to you is, Psa 126:6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

With Love Eternal,

We humbly bow our heads before the Lord of the harvest, as we lift our hands as the evening sacrifice and say, Thy will be done, Lord, Amen, Amen.

Mat 21:23 And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority? Mat 21:24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things. Mat 21:25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him? Mat 21:26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet. Mat 21:27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.

I was questioned when I came to earth. I am questioned still to this day. As you reason within yourself, I know your heart, and I do not condemn you. I came so that all men should know the Truth and that Truth would set them free.

Beloved, I invite you to sit at My feet and listen as Mary did. I invite you to lean upon My breast as John did. And I invite you to respond to Me, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God" as Peter did.

If you keep Me in a tomb, lifeless from all power and glory and honor today, you are hindering My works and the change that will come from within you that will set you free. When you see fruit come forth from you that will be visible on the outside, you will indeed realize that I have been answering you all along in a still, small voice.

Jas 3:18 "And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace." Make your peace in Me by being reconciled to your brother.

With Love Eternal,

Who is it, Lord, that I yet hold at arm's length estranged from Your love and mine? Grant me the meekness to dethrone myself so that Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Amen

Mat 21:18-22 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered. And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away! Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

I told the parable of the fig tree to explain how I have waited long for fruit to bear in My Church. I then further demonstrated by this fig tree that no fruit had bared when I came to it with hunger, for I was hungry and it fed Me not.

Beloved, you ask that I grant you Kingdom power to do the works that I did. What a mighty and bold request it is. As your faith grows and your doubts dispel you shall see that it must be Me that you serve and worship and not an ideology.

My disciples came apart with Me and learned of Me. Paul dare not go forth until he had spent three years apart receiving inspiration, not after man, but by revelation of Me.

When you see the faith of one that you envy, know that one set aside self to follow Me as they died to self, in essence, laying all upon the altar, and accepting the dealings of God to push them further along in faith into Kingdom power.

I have placed you where I placed you so you would learn not to walk in the natural, but in the supernatural. Have faith then in Me that I am on Your side and growing your faith as You have asked.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

Mat 21:15-16 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased, And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

Why are you waiting for that wonderful thing you ask Me for to happen before you offer Me praise? You need not be in my House of prayer for another to lead you. You may not quite know how to proceed, but if you open your mouth wide I will fill it. Heb 13:15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

Must I remind you of your obligation to me as your God and Redeemer as often as you remind Me of My commitment to My people? Little one, hearken unto Me so that I should not have to come unto you as a beggar.

That our Lord must prompt us to sing and praise and give thanksgiving unto His holy name causes grave concern in my spirit that I have offered no more than generic lip service up until this day. With that said, I thank Him for a new beginning.

Mat 21:12-14 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves. And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.

Healing occurs wherever I am. Overthrow that which detracts from My Presence. Is it the tumult of the crowd of naysayers that are robbing you of My Presence? Is it the thief who comes to steal, kill and destroy that you deem mightier than I? Is it your own unwillingness to purge your temple?

Child, you have no responsibity but to come to Me willing Me to purge these abuses. There may be a season of incessant knocking, but be not troubled. Fear not, neither be afraid, for It is I, your Lord, who knows your hour of visitation.

With Love Eternal,

Having been the recipient of healings I can tesitfy when He crosses our path all shadow of doubt is removed. No magic formula need be used to attain His unmerited grace, for His name is I AM, not we are.

Mat 21:2-6 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me. And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them. All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass. Mat 21:6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them.

Dear friends, as you know all things must be done in accordance with Scripture. As you obey My directives you will see the unfolding of My will come to pass. As you pray and say, Thy will be done, will you then do what is revealed to you as you listen to your heart and My communication to you?

You are saying the way is not clear. I clear all paths for you. Will you not still yourself and know that I AM? I am the One that was lifted up on this earth, upon the cross, so that I could draw all men to Me. Heaven and earth are Mine and all that therein is.

Much has been given to you. Much is required. As you are faithful in the little things I command, your eyes will be opened and your understanding will be enlarged and the words you speak will be pleasing to Me because they will be My words.

I set You apart for service in My Kingdom. Child, remember that I, the Lord, have need of you. How much more value you are than an ass and a colt in My service. I am God of the spirits of all flesh. Go and do all I have commanded of you and you will not strive as you have been doing. My way is unfolding.

Mat 20:30-34 And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David. And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David. And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you? They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened. So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.

I hear Your voice crying out to Me as you sit by the way side. Many voices call out to Me, but I pause to hear yours. I cannot fail to be moved with your pleas. I appear to those that seek Me. Ever seek Me, beloved, and not the crowd.

As these two blind beggars sought to see Me, ask that I might open your eyes to behold all that I am doing on your behalf. Do not let the multitude of the crowd rebuke you and block out My response to you. I will come unto you and touch you and you will follow Me. I will enlighten the eye of your mind and you shall see that others will know that you have been with Me.

With Love Eternal,

Mat 20:25-28 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

With all humility serve. Serve Me and serve those I send into your life. Seek not dominion and authority over those; seek to let them see you as a ministering angel of Mine.

You will note those that are called by My name in that they do not boast, dictate and demand your laurels and accolades, but instead, expecting nothing in return, they serve My kingdom that My will might be done. Pray that you might minister as such.

Mat 20:23 Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him. And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom. But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able. And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.

Beloved, self-exaltation in any form is not My will for you, neither is it My love. What you ask is for a wish to be granted and not a prayer to be answered. I will answer that which glorifies Me, and you shall know what that is as you surrender your will in this to Me.

It is my delight to give you the Kingdom for that which exalts Me and further proclaims My glorious name. Spend your days in praise and thanksgiving and spend your evenings acknowledging all I have given you. Just come and be with Me because you love Me. Tell Me I am enough for you. I have chosen to bless you; let me surprise you with many lovely things throughout your life. Fail not to see what they are.

Mat 20:18-19 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.

When you weep for yourself, remember what mockery and torture was done to Me. This was all to My foreknowledge, child. Do you not think I was pained to know this treachery?

Do not ask to know your future. You could not bear it. You are not God. Yet, I was fully God and fully man. Can you not imagine My grief at My betrayal? And that I am not familiar in what you are feeling now?

Those who have betrayed you have in no manner crucified you for being sinless as I was. I know the hurt you are feeling, the lost of trust that occurred, and the sadness that walks with you constantly. You have poured out your complaint to Me and I have heard. I alone can empathize with being forsaken. But, My beloved, I cannot shield you from all emotional upheaval . Instead, I ask that you continue to come to Me, your risen Christ, and bless Me and praise My name, for that is where you will learn that I am always by your side.

I am the only one that can understand your feelings, yet I bid you to elect to have them healed so that you can live the risen and victorious life with your Lord. My Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom. Your hurts are temporal. Let Me touch you and remove that root of bitterness.

My hands are opened to bless, to give, and to heal. I bring reward with Me. You are earnestly awaiting an answer to your prayer and a release of a shower of blessing. You see those that are receiving grace and favor and you wonder why it is that your prayers have not propelled you into the prosperous, in all things, condition you desire. I am choosing what is best for you. Do not fail to see with spiritual eyes what I am doing.

Little one, I cross My hands of blessing at will. I long to see you secure in My love and acknowledge that I am no respecter of persons. My favor and recompense is based upon you recognizing that apart from Me you can do no good thing but merely as I bid and enable.

It is not your length of days laboring in My Kingdom that I am generous toward, but that your heart fully understands that I give and I withhold according to what is best for you as well as others who need to receive Me as Jehovah-Jireh, GOD our provider.
Keep your eyes cast upon Me.

Mat 19:29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

My beloved one, I see what you have given up for Me. I know your sacrifice. I know your loyalty is to Me. I know how you continue to put Me first in all things. I know that you have counted the cost and have answered Me with love and surrender in all things.

The things that you have forsaken for Me to follow Me have been written on My heart. Every decision you have made to serve and follow is a sweet and savory offering to Me. Others may not fully understand what you have offered to Me in your desire to follow Me fully, but child, what is important is that I know the struggles that occurred, the sense of loss, and the full coming of joy for the guidance and closeness it has given you. I will continue to give you the proof afterward that you indeed lost nothing, but gained more of Me.

I am reminded of the clashes you have had in order to glorify Me and serve Me. For this I assure you that I will not disappoint you for surrendering these things into My hands and letting Me work out the details of your life and where best you might serve Me. I am pleased with your dedication to Me.

Mat 19:16-22 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

You, child, are a firm believer in eternal life. You walk in the ways of the Commandments. There was no errand as important as bringing salvation to man but through Me. You know though that it is not keeping the letter of the Law that saves you. It is by faith in Me and grace extended unto you that you have eternal life. My blood shed made way for you.

What you are not yet willing to do for Me brings Me grief, but not execution by the Law. If I have freely pardoned your sins, and extended to you grace until you would walk in perfection of life. Keep the Law, yes, but let Me enlarge you and teach you the way of the Spirit led life.

Do not go away sorrowful at this new thing that I have impressed upon you to do. I am asking you now to walk in fullness of eternal life. I have come to give you abundant life. My everlasting Kingdom is a journey that you have accepted and I bid you ever continue to subdue the flesh by force. Hear, My voice, beloved, and continue to strive for the strait gate and narrow way.

Mat 19:13-15 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.

Surely, you must know how very much I love children. How I love your children. How I long that you be My very hands to impart love and security to them, as well as the laying on of the hands to pass on the power and blessings of My Kingdom.

Never discount human touch and never underestimate the value of a child to hold My heartstrings. Teach them all about Me that they may have more than moral foundation but the living Christ who shall abide within them.

Never fail to seek My blessings and wholeness for each child you encounter.

Mat 19:5-11 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry. But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.

My beloved one, your heart weeps as Mine also does. I understand your anguish. I understand your pain. I understand your betrayal. I know you inside and out.

When that one flesh has been torn asunder so that it is now two fleshes, this is a separation in which you will carry the invisible spiritual scar tissue for the remaining years of your life upon this earth.

Thou shalt have no other gods before Me. Will you trust Me that I am still with you? That I Am all you need? That I will never fail or forsake you? That I will not turn My back on you and desert you as Your mate has done?

Set aside that bitterness so that it take no root in you and causes your feet to stumble. Live apart with Me as I attend to your wants and needs and as I keep you from complicating your life with a new choice and decision in which you are contemplating. There is nothing outside of My realm of influence regarding your life and My desire that You be made whole. I have heard your prayers. I will guide you.

I ask you to wait upon Me, feel My all encompassing love, and see My direction for you. I have not abandoned you. Listen for that voice as one who cries out in the wilderness.

With a sincere heart, let us draw close to God as we allow Him reign in our life, and in those we love, and as we pray for marriages that come before our attention.

Mat 18:33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?

You are beginning to be devoid of feelings toward others who need to know of My mercy and grace as well as in need of compassion. How can this be after the great love and forgiveness I have shown unto you? Why are you withholding love from the least of your brethren? When did you begin to judge so rashly?

Beloved, I ask you to be an extension of Me in this world so that others may have a glimmer of hope. If you will ask Me to increase your love daily for others you would see sinners turn to Me. You would then know the blessings I reserve for those representatives of Mine that show forth compassion and mercy.

Do not merely choose and select the few that should be deserving. Go and show forth My glory to each person that I place in your path. Keep your heart fixed upon Me as I enable you to be generous. Remember how much I have forgiven you.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

A humble time of examination as to whether we pick and choose our needy cases and if we show forth understanding with helps toward all people that the Lord makes us familiar with.

Mat 18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Mat 18:22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

Child, you do not do well when you keep count of that one that offends you. My answer to My disciple and to you as well is to forgive indefinitely, as I have forgiven you. I keep account, I see the wrong doing, against you and I am aware of your struggle.

It is necessary for you to keep your peace within. Make it your constant practice to forgive. I have a purpose in requiring you to be graceful and loving. Come to Me quickly when these fractions occur. Come and reason with Me. Let Me comfort you and enable the Holy Spirit to give you the power needed to forgive this one that troubles you.

My mercy is unlimited. Allow Me to see you extending grace. Much good shall come forth from your obedience in loosing these affronts against you and allowing Me to judge rightly.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

May the divine act of extending forgiveness to others be impressed upon us and be enabled through the power of our great and merciful Savior.

Mat 18:19-20 Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

You must assemble together in harmony by My name. Your whims shall not be granted, as some add that type of favor to these words that I spoke. The unity and worshipful practices of those petitioners that gather together, that look to Me with intent to honor Me will then have My authority to proclaim a petition that I shall grant.

I am your divine Mediator. The Holy Spirit teaches you to pray. The words you present to Me shall not be your words but My injunction shall flow through those that represent Me on earth. Can you trust Me that I have put that holy desire in you and that your petition shall come then into being? Do you yet have that faith and intimacy with Me and unity in the assembly that shall see your prayers granted? Meditate on My words to you. Be comfortable in your seeking Me. You have the assurance that I am with you.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

As we walk in purity of the Word, Jesus' desires become our desires. He longs for us to know our authority power in His name. He has established that it glorifies Him to answer prayer. Let us honor the Lord with our desire that His name be known as Mediator and Advocate.

Mat 18:15 And if thy brother sin against thee, go, show him his fault between thee and him alone: if he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

I cautioned My disciples not to give offence and to forgive. I explain here the first step of reconciliation when one sins against you by abusing, defaming, or in being injurious to you. It was never intended to be meant for if you should have a difference of opinion with others. It is meant for when you have been aggrieved by a person who has sinned before heaven and against you.

It was never meant that you should gossip, retain anger, suffer resentment, and retaliate. It is meant that you come privately to your brother and reason with him. Perhaps he also will see it as a sin and beseech forgiveness before Me and before you.

I am asking you, My beloved, to follow the order that there is in My Kingdom. Will I not be there with you and with them and shall not My favor toward you be known? Seek reconciliation before this festers. Seek My peace in this and perhaps your brother will listen.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

A powerful lesson on the difference between what we perceive to be sin and what is an act that brings estrangement from God. May the affronts against us be worthily perceived and divinely guided working toward forgiveness, cleansing, and reconciliation to God's glory

Mat 18:12-14 How think ye? if any man have a hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and go unto the mountains, and seek that which goeth astray? And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth over it more than over the ninety and nine which have not gone astray. Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

Beloved, do you know how much I value the lost? Do you know what I truly meant when I declared I was the Good Shepherd? Do you believe that one can stray from the flock without My loving and persistent seeking to bring that one back into the fold?

I have My eye upon the loved one you are concerned for. In that day that they return to Me, we both shall have great cause for rejoicing. My gaze goes beyond yours, and in the distant I see their need for Me even before they cry out. I am waiting to lead them back. I need not drag them back for the day comes when they will hear My voice and willingly follow. My sheep know My voice and will follow.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

There is no shepherd like Jesus who laid down His life for His sheep. With all our heart we must believe in His given name of the Good Shepherd.

Mat 18:11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

Child of Mine, You struggle with the law, you wrestle with the ungodly, and you dwell on the inconveniences of life. I came to earth but to save the lost. All had gone astray. None did right. I introduced them to God the Father and invited all to come to Him through Me. That is what your priority should be. When you dwell on each soul and the desire for their salvation, you are honoring and serving Me and I will bless you abundantly.

You were once lost. You did not know Me. You did not know there was a washing for your sins. You were not aware that eternal life waited for you. It took a yes to Me. In the moment you became saved. There was much thought and experience that led up to that yes, was there not?
Will you be patient and loving and kind to those that have not yet said yes to Me? Can you see that it is for those very ones that I came to show the way? And it is why I need your loving and patient voice and actions to continue to point the lost to Me. Be encouraged in all that you do for the Kingdom. Use My Word for it shall not fall to the ground. Pray for those that are lost for they shall be found by Me. Do not waiver. Trust in Me that I desire none to perish.

Be of good cheer and faith believing as I woo those ones that are afar off into the glorious Kingdom of God. Don't lose hope and never forget My mission.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

I, for one, am glad that the Lord gently reminds us of the value of mankind, Kingdom priorites, and what our minds do need to be focused on.

Mat 18:7 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

You have felt the sting of offences against you for My name's sake. You have discovered that not all love Me and believe in Me as you do. Yet, I say to you, forgive. As you forgive it is your sign to Me that you have placed this matter into My hands to judge and do right by.

I desire you to be more aware and passionate about the little ones of the Kingdom that are assaulted with untruth and crime. These are the ones that I desire to send you to to speak My loving words and assurance that Father God will judge that offender. Tell the little ones I desire to bring them comfort and truth.

Words either wound or heal. Forgetting what has been said to you, take My holy love and heal those that have been wounded as you have known Me to do so with your hurts. Many leave the Kingdom realm because of offences by man. Let them know that I am not a man that lies and deceives. Be prepared for Me to send many your way that need a loving touch.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

God has declared that we will be judged by every word that proceeds from our mouth. See to it that He is pleased with how you use your words by withholding retaliation or by presenting to others words and works that bind up wounds of others.

Mat 18:3-4 and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

You must be of another mind, child. You must desire the sincere milk of the Word. You must be eager, each day, to commune with Me. And you must trust Me as a little child who reaches for their parent's hand and accepts the comfort of that touch. Know that My way is best for you.

When your flesh arises to exalt yourself above My express commands and will a gentle reminder from Me is warranted. I know what is best for you, beloved. Humble yourself and accept My instruction. I do you no harm. I do what is in your best interest, and I have infinite wisdom to dispose the way to you as you humble yourself and acquire the simplicity of a God driven life. Trust me in all things for I can clearly see ahead. Your submission and desire to be led is what will bring you reward on earth and in the world to come.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

Trust lessons are difficult as we are taught to be independent and think for ourselves as we mature. Yet, God's ways are higher than our ways and by humbly seeking His face in all things, in due time He will exalt us as beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, co-heirs of the Kingdom of God.

Mat 17:20 And he saith unto them, Because of your little faith: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Child, your faith is yet too little. I wait for you to ask Me daily to increase your faith. I ask that you ask Me to sanctify you for the work ahead. You long to see My miracles and mountains of difficulties even removed in your life as well as others.

I say, arise up and meet Me in prayer so that I can prepare you to be a strong tower of faith that does not vary or waiver. There is mush I long to do through a faith-filled, God fearing disciple. I long to send you forward conquering so overcome first that within you that that blocks the miracle working power I long to grant you. Nothing shall be impossible to you as you allow Me to increase in your life. Prepare yourself for the gift of faith that comes through the Holy Spirit.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

So much of what is within us in not Kingdom minded. May we continue to decrease as Christ increases. Then we shall be able to receive the gift and the power and authority He desires to give us to benefit mankind.

Mat 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then shall he render unto every man according to his deeds.

I am the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. I shall return glorified and every knee shall bow at My appearance. All those that rejected Me in My lowliness will have to look upon Me as Son Of God, God Almighty, who will judge every man according to his deeds.

God the Father shall ask, "What have you done with My Son?" Be ready child to accept My bidden to enter into the Kingdom of heaven for I am well pleased in what you have done with Me and for Me.

As you stand on judgment day, account that I am your Advocate. I have paid, in full, your redemption. Look up for that day draws near.

The days grow shorter to when the Lord will judge all. May we know with certainty and peace that we honored the Lord in word, thought and deed in our lifetime.

Mat 16:24-26 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

If you decline suffering for Me, if you shall not give Me your all, I shall still love you, but you will have missed My highest intent for you. What is it that you embrace and grasp so tightly that you place it above the well being of your soul, My child? What is it that you will not deny yourself and except My authority in?

If you will loose this thing that you prefer over Me, I will rush in and be your all and will give you the blessed assurance that you seek. Nothing can snatch you from My hand, but your refusal to let Me have your way in this will bring about consequences that will sting and stain your soul.

What is that in your hands that you cleave to? Cleave to Me instead and find the favor of the one who is sanctified for My holy use. You will never be content until you deny yourself in this and follow Me in all things. I am watching over your soul. I am your Guardian. Trust Me in this.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

Surrendering all is a struggle, but accepting God's will in all is a blessing that has present and future benefits that bring joy and abundant life with it.

Mat 16:23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

I will subdue all your enemies but you are responsible for subduing that within you that wishes to exalt yourself above Me. Savor My will above your own. Tell Me that You desire My choices, My way, My will, and My best for you.

It is the subtlety of Satan to have you miss My highest will for you. You will have temptation to walk in your own way and reasoning if you do not pray out a given situation before embarking on your decision. Do not oppose My way and I will have no cause to rebuke you. You know Me as loving and kind with you. Step not away from Me and I will have no occasion to use the rod of correction upon you, son.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

If there is cast a shadow of doubt, if there is one fleeting moment of hesitancy, let us call upon the Holy Spirit to illumine God's highest will for us. He shall not fail to reveal His best on every occasion before we are faced with living with regret.

Mat 16:18-19 And I say also unto thee That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

I am the Rock the Church of God is built upon. Deu 32:4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.

You, O, daughter of Zion, are an overseer, to feed the Church of God and to walk in apostolic power. You know not yet what power you wield because you fail to walk in Kingdom authority.
As you continue to look at "Clerical George" for leadership, you do well to be humble, but you do no thing to promote My glory when you refuse to see that I have called you for mighty works.
Set aside your life in prayer and communion with Me and learn of Me. Be open to Me.

Remember that I can only work through you as you allow. Come apart and listen to how I would have you proceed with the keys of the Kingdom. Do not hold back in disbelief. As Peter was an uneducated and common man, so it is you, likewise, that I have chosen to touch heaven and earth for Me.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

Are we indeed guilty of merely believing who Christ is and not letting Him live in authority within us? Is there more to the Christian walk of the surrendered person that we refuse to let God's glory and power be displayed? May we intently learn of Christ as He increases as He wills.

Mat 16:15-17 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

The Father has revealed Me unto you. In that very moment, unknown to you, the Holy Spirit came upon you and gave you deep revelation of the spirit world---communion with Me. You were blessed beyond measure and did not realize that you did not choose Me that day as much as I sealed you that day.

I prepare you for fuller and deeper revelation of Me. I lift you into the heavenlies. Each disclosure I reveal to you is something those of flesh and blood cannot receive. You are now of the Spirit. Open wide your heart to receive further instruction from Me. Soak up, as a sponge, what I will to reveal to you. Intimacy is what I desire, tender child.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

For those that confess the Name above all names, He denies us no good thing as He draws us to an intimacy and love beyond any earthly relationship.

Mat 16:6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. Mat 16:11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? Mat 16:12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

Once more, I speak to you of doctrine. Did man design it or is it My Word and intent is what you must search your soul regarding. I love you so much, child. You always try so hard to please Me. You are frustrated with the watering down of the Gospel and the heresy which has assaulted you. But did I not say to beware?

Be on guard, yes, and continue to search the Scriptures. I would have you to be a strong tower of truth for Me. I would have you to minister to others in My strength and in My purity. I came to set man free, not to bind them to custom, tradition and religion. I came to turn the world upside down. Abide in Me and know nothing but the love of a Savior which covers the multitude of sins.
Heed how you hear and speak words of truth. I am with you always and I shall make your tongue a sharp double-edged sword used for My glory.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

Seeking and speaking the truth in love is how we counter falsehoods and stay true to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Mat 16:1 And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and trying him asked him to show them a sign from heaven. Mat 16:2 But he answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the heaven is red. Mat 16:3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to-day: for the heaven is red and lowering. Ye know how to discern the face of the heaven; but ye cannot discern the signs of the times. Mat 16:4 An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of Jonah. And he left them, and departed.

Many challenge Me for a sign. Even if a sign is given hardness of heart remains. Therefore, signs are not a wonder to be granted at whim. Those that are carnal remain carnal.

The sign I give to those that believe in Me is circumcism of the heart. These are sealed with My love. As the love deepens and flourishes then the visible signs that are sought are granted on occasion to further strengthen faith and to give divine direction.

Beloved, seek thee a sign? Look within your heart for I shall not fail to expose My will in this what you seek.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

Let us not follow the corrupt practices of the fleshly people, but in our spirit, worship the Lord in Spirit, where He grants us the desires of our heart.

Mat 15:16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? Mat 15:17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? Mat 15:18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. Mat 15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: Mat 15:20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.

My listening child, hear Me carefully when I tell you it is not food that defiles, but your thoughts warmed over twice and spoken through your mouth. It is the thought then the speech of that thought that defiles. I know you catch some unlovely things that come forth sometimes. That is what I would have you to pay heed to and to conquer now. Once spoken, a work cannot be retracted. You may say I am sorry afterward, but the evil one has gained a foothold to cause bitterness in another.

Learn to let your tongue cleave to the roof of your mouth, and allow My purifying touch to cleanse your heart so that there will no more be interruption of Kingdom thoughts. It is possible to be an unblocked channel for My words and my wisdom. Seek this for love of Me.

With Love Eternal,

Mat 15:14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

Little one, you are shocked at the deterioration of those that once taught My Message. Those that have gone off the strait and narrow path. Those that feel they must entertain. Those that talk on any subject that does not deal with Me and My healing and saving grace.

Keep yourself for Me. Stay in the Word. Commune with Me. Do not follow those that have gone astray as Balaam did. Know no other Guide but the Holy Sprit who will guide you into all truth. Follow none but Me. Honor thy Heavenly Father. Look unto Us and be saved.

Set your standards as high as the heavens. Do not follow those that err. I watch after you. You are My beloved and I will call you out, as a Shepherd, and lead you into green pasture, if You will but to hear My voice.
Discern when a falsehood is presented to you and determine not to follow the leaders that are blind. I love and cherish You. I keep you safe from doctrine and teachings that are not My way or will. Do not veer off the path.

I call you to listen and to speak with all diligence. Nothing can affect your soul other than the words that proceed from you. You may choose to speaks words of cursing or words of blessing. If you say, "Lord, I do not curse," I rebuttal with an earnest command to examine your words of negative and defiling connotations that you speak to others, and as importantly, that you say about your self.

Be pure. Speak encouragement. Rehearse My Words. Spread the Good News. Be known as uplifting. In this manner then you shall be known as one who loves their neighbor as their self.

Mat 15:3-9 And he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition? For God said, Honor thy father and thy mother: and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die the death. But ye say, whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, That wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is given to God; he shall not honor his father. And ye have made void the word of God because of your tradition. Ye hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying, This people honoreth me with their lips; But their heart is far from me. But in vain do they worship me, Teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men.

You will not be like the Pharisees and Scribes that transgress My commandments while proclaiming false religion will you? You will not allow tradition to become more important than obeying Me will you? It is one thing to teach another My way, and another thing when one uses the cloak of religion to justify an action that is not indeed in My will.

See that whatsoever you do that you do it in mind that I, the living One, am with you and not just the ritual of religion. In all of your decisions base them upon the reality that I Am with you and I want your best. I want others to come to know Me intimately so ask yourself if doctrine, tradition, or My love will prompt that action you are considering. To know the difference is to let Me increase as you decrease. Ask that My will be known and then accomplished.

Mat 14:29-31 And he said, Come. And Peter went down from the boat, and walked upon the waters to come to Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and took hold of him, and saith unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

When you doubt you put your soul in peril. When you take your eyes off of Me and look at the tempest around you, you sink and descend to a lower place than what I would have you.
Walk upon the waters with Me. Come. I bid you to a higher place than your human understanding. I invite you to hold on to the safety of My outstretched hand. Have the awareness, little one, that I keep guard of you in all things. Trust in Me and doubt will flee. Remember to say, "Lord save me." I will be there.

I have never failed or forsaken you. I do not leave you to your own devices. I gently call unto you and ask that you trust Me even in this darkened moment.

Mat 13:57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and in his own house. Mat 13:58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

Child, you struggle with disharmony and words that are sometimes hurled at you. Though you hold special place in my heart, You represent Me, and there will always be opposition to the Truth.

Child, you struggle with why you see not more of My wonder working power. Though I am the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow, I say unbelief shortens My hand. Make sure that it is not unbelief within you. Knowing I can and knowing I will are two different things. Allow Me to increase not just your faith, but also your calm in patient trust.

You cannot exhaust your Treasure. I have great need of you, My beloved. Continue your quest for Me to disclose to you the things you have not seen before in My Word. You will never regret one moment spent in the unearthing of it. Open your heart wide to receive.

I am more than ready to communicate. Are you eager to hear and understand? What I teach you is for your benefit and for the benefit of those that one day will recognize you as a disciple of Mine where they may have an explanation to their questions.

I emptied myself to give you this jewel of value, eternal life. No greater gift shall ever pass on to you, its worth and value which you realize each day and in eternity you will know of its fullness.

You are like merchants who have sought after wisdom and knowledge and now possess the greatest treasure man can behold. I am your Lord and God. Hold fast to Me. Nothing compares to the treasure you now possess. The wealth of the Kingdom of God is now yours. Let me bless you with abundant revelation, My heir.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

It is time for us, as Christians, to to let the world know of our rich heritage in Christ. Do not live as a pauper in word and deed, but as royalty who possess the greatest treasure their is, Christ our King of kings and Lord of lords.

Mat 13:31 Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: Mat 13:32 which indeed is less than all seeds; but when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the heaven come and lodge in the branches thereof.

When one receives the Kingdom of heaven, that is to accept me as Lord and Savior, a seed of eternal life is taken in. That seed grows by nurturing. Rejoice when you hear one that receives the Gospel, but also be willing to nurture that person that they might grow in Kingdom graces to become a place of refuge one day that others may flock to for truth. Be willing to pray that their faith so develops that they might be a great tower that one day will attract others to the Kingdom through them. Put no limit on their growth or the work I will do through them even though they were called to labor in the last hours of the day.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

It is a far greater work to pray for and feed Jesus' lambs than to merely acknowledge a new member of the family of God. Be willing to disciple that one that has just received the Lord Jesus. Their potential for growth is mighty. Do not limit their growth or desire that they remain inferior to you in the ways of the Kingdom. God will indeed increase as He wills.

Mat 13:19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart.

Child of God, you often wonder why there are those who argue that they have read the Bible, yet do not believe it is the inspired Word of God. Paul explained to the Church, (1 Corinthians 2:13-14) And we speak about these things, not with words taught us by human wisdom, but with those taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual things to spiritual people.

When you pray for that argumentative person who is a non-believer, pray with the understanding that they cannot discern spiritual things because they have not the Holy Sprit. Ask that He might court them into the Kingdom of God. It is the devil that has snatched My Word from their heart. Have mercy on them as you pray. Ask that the person be set free from bondage, receive Me, and allow the Holy Spirit entrance.

Display gratitude to Me and rejoice that you hear and understand the Word. That is proof to you that the Holy Spirit dwells within you and guides you into all truth.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

Weep for those that are being assaulted by the devil and pray for their enlightenment. I desire that no man perish. Keep presenting your case to those without the Kingdom of God. Stand firm upon the Word and the Rock of your salvation.

Good Morning Friends issue 43

Mat 13:16-17 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

You beloved, are highly favored. I am blessing you day by day with an increase of faith and personal knowledge of Me. Often you cannot see your growth but rest assured that I can see it. I know Your love for Me and I know your desire to see and hear more of Kingdom glories.

I never turn down the genuine seeker as you are. I will bless you with revelation in these last days. I will bless abundantly your search for truth and purpose. I will make you to see and hear things that will astound you. Take this word to you today in full confidence that I am able to do as I promise.

I am moved by your desire for more of Me and I cannot refuse such an open and desirous heart. As I teach you by the wayside shout it upon the rooftops. Keep Me not a secret but allow others to share in the wealth of revelation I am granting to you. You are blessed, My child, and I love your seeking heart.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

Jesus is so willing to fill us to overflowing. Let us ask so that we may receive. He gives with freely to the one who desires that He increases in their life.

Mat 13:10-12 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

You wonder why others do not love My Word as you do. It is because they might have to stretch to understand Me. To strive to know My way. To will to know what is expected from them by Me.

Deu 29:29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.

I have revealed Myself to you and you long for more of Me. Continue to search the Scriptures for in them I speak to you plainly and not in dark speech. I will reveal Myself to you in each reading. I draw close to your side and I teach you. I will grant you understanding that can come no other way but by sitting at Me feet. I have chosen the good portion for you and it shall not be taken away. Hear Me, child, as I reveal My longing to speak face to face with you as a Friend.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

Let us be encouraged to devote more time listening to God than to speaking words about Him. He desires a deeper intimacy. May our ears be opened to hear and our hearts readied to receive.

Mat 12:48-50 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? And he stretched forth his hand towards his disciples, and said, Behold, my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.

Because My blood shed for you now courses through your veins, you are more than friends. You are family. You are members of the family of God and you are heirs with Me.
Live a life of your royal heritage. Come and draw close to Me and lean upon My bosom. I call you by name.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

Jesus invites us to the inner circle of intimacy with Him. Respond and be welcomed as we enjoy the privilege of family life.

Mat 12:43-45 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

When one accepts me as Savior, they must also accept Me as Lord. I am not just a place to dwell in when death occurs but God who desires to guide one's life. You must surrender to My will and My way to grow in the Kingdom graces. You must desire, "Thy will be done," so I can fashion you into the beautiful and glorious child that I envision you to be.

You will attract many to My Kingdom for Me if you but will trust and joy and praise along life's journey. I will indeed work out all for your good and will keep you on the straight and narrow path that leads away from destructive behavior. Pray that others who relapse in sin come to accept Me as Lord of their life. Hidden delights and blessings are in store for those that accept Me fully.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

I am reminded of drug addition cessation as well as dieting as an example. I am reminded that God's will is what cleanses our house and keeps us from a worsened condition. I am reminded that God knows what is best and when we quickly resign ourselves to His way by glorifying Him and not our willpower, the wicked spirits will be kept at bay.

Good Morning Friends issue 39

Mat 12:35-37 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

I hear. I listen. I am either pleased with words that proceed from your mouth or I am taken aback by falsehood. You child, must speak the truth in Me to all you come in contact with. You must be loving and patient as I am and never allow a careless word or a word of harsh anger be spoken.

Why am I so stringent with you? Because others see that you are indeed a genuine Christian and get the feeling of representation of the Father when they communicate with you. Will you realize now that you are always being watched and that your words carry more weight than I have allowed you to perceive? I am counting on you to represent Me. Many have come to know you as a tower of refuge they can run to in unsettling times. Even those not of My flock know there is something special within you.

Go in peace and be faithful in speaking My words.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

We must weigh and judge each word we speak as to whether we attract of repulse people toward or away from the Kingdom of God. Let us be faithful and have the mind of Christ dwelling richly in us.

Mat 12:31-32 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

Those that commit tongue-sins are of the worst nature, yet I say to you all sins will be forgiven that were said of Me, and not blaspheme against the Holy Spirit. Those cannot possibly be brought to the grace of Christ for they hateth the Holy Spirit that would draw them, and He shall retreat from them and no longer woo.

Satan often tries to trick my children that believes in Me to think that they have committed the unpardonable in their thoughts are deeds. Do not be deceived. Do not receive his wiles of condemnation. You shall know the Holy Spirit is upon you as you so desire to have Me in your life. Release those that long for me and assure them that this is the workings of the Holy Spirit and that they must not believe the deception of the evil one. If you are drawn to Me that is evidence no offence has been committed that cannot be forgive.

Go and release that one that is being attacked by the devil with these occurring thoughts. That is My desire that captives be set free.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

How subtle is the liar. How treacherous he is. You are in Christ, secure, and no one can snatch you from His hand. With authority rebuke the evil one, in the name of Jesus Christ, and realize the deception in believing you have committed a sin worthy of unforgiveness.

Good Morning Friends issue 37

Mat 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

My beloved, as you can see I made a dividing line. I made it clear that one cannot know Me without serving Me. One cannot pew sit without Me calling them to a place of action by faith.

One cannot claim they do not know it is My will that all men come to a saving knowledge of Me. And how shall they hear without a messenger? I need you to gather with Me.

Those that have not yet made their minds up to serve Me as Lord of Lords, yet have no offense in Me, are ripe for the harvest. Pray and witness to them that they will make the same decision you, My beloved has made; to serve Me and to go where I bid. I lay My hand of blessing upon you this day for service in My Kingdom.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

When we know the Lord's desire is for us to bear witness to Christ, we are then sent ones to gather in His Kingdom. Do not let feelings of incapability disqualify you from this glorious call of Christ's to gather with Him.

Mat 12:25-28 And knowing their thoughts he said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: and if Satan casteth out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand? And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges. But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, then is the kingdom of God come upon you.

O, my child, how I long for all of your household to be united in Me. All walking the Kingdom walk. All in your extended family standing as One.

I warned the Pharisees who hurled ungodly accusations, but I continued to preach the Good News freely to all.

I want you to forgive that one that has assaulted you for your stance for me. I want you to overlook that for now the serve the enemy and I want you to continually pray for their salvation. Work this year diligently at seeing that all your family come to know me so that Satan has no stronghold in this area in your life. I speak peace unto you this day.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

How easily we forget that it is the Lord who has the insults hurled at Him and not us. It is because we represent Him as ambassadors that we overhear the reprobate speak vain words.

Mat 12:7-8 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless. For the Son of man is lord of the sabbath.

The Pharisee's always attempted to entrap Me, to twist My words, to revert to pseudo-religion, to be self-righteous. Child, you display your love and acceptance of Me. You do not try to turn My words around to suit your beliefs. You take Me at face value, no I would say rather heart value, and you live My words as they were delivered.

Always remember that your works of mercy from a clean and undefiled heart are what I desire in you. These are the sacrifices that I note in you and know that You are doing them for your love of Me. These are the things that I cherish in you. As you have opportunity to do good, do it unto the least of my brethren and do not let religion or pride prevent you from ministering in the fullness and love of the Holy Spirit. Do not be bound to tradition or times that would prevent you from offering Me the sweet and fragrant sacrifice of service from a pure heart. I love you, child. You please Me.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

Do unto others as you do unto the Lord, your God. Let no law or imposition keep you from serving the Lord as He has called you to do. Be merciful as He has been with you.

Mat 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

I bid you come. I bid you to draw close unto Me where I will touch your furrowed brow and ease your burdens.

I will ease your burdens and your hard labors. I am no taskmaster. I desire for you to come apart with Me and rest that I might refresh you. Learn of Me, and all that I would do to ease the strain and stain of your life. You shall find your perfect rest in Me as you come apart with Me to be renewed. Then I shall send you forth once more refreshed.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

How the Lord desires us to be rested and well. We forfeit that privilege when all our activities lead us away from Him rather then to the comfort of His Presence.

Mat 11:25-27 At that season Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou didst hide these things from the wise and understanding, and didst reveal them unto babes: yea, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in thy sight. All things have been delivered unto me of my Father: and no one knoweth the Son, save the Father; neither doth any know the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son willeth to reveal him.

Blessed child, My little one, I am revealing to you My personal desire that all My children would know Me in the fullness of the Spirit as you do. I desire to talk and walk with you. I have shown you that I am the risen Christ and that I am with you always.

Not all have this sacred experience as you live. You willed to have Me reveal to you My love and intention toward you. Your love drew Me to speaking heart to heart with you. You lean not upon your own intelligence but you lean upon My breast to hear My heart as John the disciple whom I loved did.

It is my desire that our intimacy deepens. I love you like no other and I am pleased by your sacrifice to know Me better. We will continue on in these precious times of revelation because you have opened wide your heart to Me.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

We thank You, Father God for the gift of Jesus in our lives and for His abundance assurance that we are His beloved and He is ours. Amen

Mat 11:16-19 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the marketplaces, who call unto their fellows and say, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance; we wailed, and ye did not mourn. For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a demon. The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! And wisdom is justified by her works.

I use a variety of ways to announce the Kingdom of heaven and still there are those who will not hear and will not respond to Me or My servants testimony. The flesh dies hard. The proofs are infallible, and yet there are those through hardness of heart and through the sin of pride that do not heed My call.

What further must I do to testify? How I long for you to understand that one who rejects your invitation to draw nigh unto Me that it is not you they reject but Me. You are not mistaken in your leading to introduce Me. Be vigilant and be in prayer that I might prevail in that one's life. You shall be vindicated. Your boldness in Me is recognized and rewarded by Your Father in heaven that sees.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

We have heard Christ's call and His desire that all men come unto Him. Do not discount the Words you speak in His name, and do not fear any rebuff.

Mat 11:7-10 And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses. But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

John the Baptist cleared the paths for Me. You can do the same. You can make a pathway of an introduction to that one that does not know Me. You can prepare the way. Have the same simple lifestyle that John had.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

There is so much that we can do to proclaim the Lord. As our focus is fixed on the Lord we shall receive the same assurance as John did that He was in God's will.

Good Morning Friends issue 30

Mat 11:4-6 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and show John again those things which ye do hear and see: The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

Little one, look for Me to move. Be in the Spirit. I am alive evermore. I perform My Word. Look for the signs that the Gospel changes lives and brings healing. There are still evidences of My life altering Gospel. Hear those testimonies and do not be offended in the messengers I send to display the operations of the Holy Spirit. I use those that have surrendered, in all things, their life to Me. Be wholly Mine.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

We are reminded that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever as we seek where the Holy Spirit moves.

Mat 10:40-42 "Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me. The one who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and the one who receives a righteous person because he is a righteous person will receive a righteous person's reward. And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward."

The simplest act done unto a servant of Mine is recognized by Me. A kindness paid is acknowledged. Accepting one that is sent by Me causes a reward and blessing to come upon you. I am a God that sees and knows and honors. See that you treat one another with love and kindness. See that you listen closely and you behold with a pure heart the ones that go forth proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom. Treat all righteous persons as goodness done unto Me. I am a rewarder of deeds done for furtherance of My Kingdom. Watch for your reward.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

We do not give to receive in return, but this is God's way. See to it that every action is done from a heart of love and ministry.

Mat 10:37-40 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it; and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

Child, it is with difficulty you hear these words. It is foreign to you that I expect you to love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and to have no other gods before Me.

Put nothing or no one above Me. I AM the One that gives you genuine Kingdom life. Obey Me in this.

Mat 10:32-33 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

Beautiful child, do you realize how very pleased I am when you proclaim Me to others? Do you realize that you have touched the heartstring of heaven? Do you know what power you have with Me, and how then, and only then, I can accompany the Word that goes forth with power?

When you confess Me you discover your love obligation to Me. You have learned what I have whispered in your ear, in our intimacy, and you have taken that beyond your four walls and have distributed that revelation to others. I would ask no other favor of you than this: When you hear someone who denies Me, will you go within your prayer closet and pray for that one to come to know Me as you do? I need you child, more than you may realize.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

Our gracious Lord asks so little. May we be keen enough and in tuned to His desires to carry out His will in our lives.

Mat 10:27-29 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

Beloved child, I have gifted you with an understanding and tender spirit before Me. Your love for Me is recognized and revered. Now run and tell others the revelation I have given you that God is love.

It will irk some. They will hate you. You must fearlessly bring this revelation to others. It will upset their preconceived understanding of Me. They will choose to accept My love or reject it, and you will stand clean before Me for spreading the Good News.

Do not worry about man's reactions to you; worry instead if you hoard this revelation you have received all to yourself. I am with You. I watch over you. I care for you more than I do the sparrow. Go fearing not what others will do or say, but instead fear failing Me.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

Great is Jesus' love toward us. Unconditional and everlasting. Do you know that this startles many? Do you kno someone that needs to hear the Good News? As God gave freely to you of His love, give freely to others.

Mat 10:24 A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his lord.

I am your Teacher. I am your Lord. I ask you to be ever learning and ever serving Me. I do not ask you to elevate yourself before Me and before others. Yours is a life of servitude that is blessed beyond measure. Your reward in heaven shall be great.

Remain humble before Me and I will exalt you in due time. You are My disciple. Learn from Me for I am meek and lowly. Be of the same mind when you present yourself to others. I love you and have chosen you. Let that suffice as the wages you reap.

With Love Eternal,

How difficult it is to refrain from the ways of the world. How difficult it is not to be puffed with knowledge. How difficult it is to put others first. Yet, it is no task when we know Whom we serve.
