Mat 10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

Little one, you question Me why this must be. Why you must be around those that are destructive, cruel and worldly. Why you must have your mind assaulted by others that have no manner or spirituality. I say to you, you must learn to wield the mind of Christ within you, for He that is within you is greater than He that is in the world.

Learn to trust Me to shield you, No harm will come to you that could ever touch the beauty of who I have fashioned you to be. Be wise; I will give you wisdom and knowledge. Be harmless; I will keep you unstained from the world. Be willing to go where I send you. I love you and have need of you to be a Light in the midst of darkness. Be at peace.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

How often the Lord does shield us. If we only knew. Lord God, in your mercy, keep us pure. Amen

Mat 10:12-13 And as ye enter into the house, salute it. And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

As you enter that home, that church, that business, wherever you go, present your peace offering to Me. If I dwell therein, you shall know. If I am not Lord there, your peace offering returns upon you.

You have entered many doorways. Many have entered your house also. Do you ask the gift of My divine Presence? Do others feel, in your own home the peace of a loving Savior who dwells there? Do not think this is a mere quaint custom. This is My expressed will that I might bless all that seek Me. They will come to Me, and you shall go where I send. Take Me with you always. This is assuredly a season of peace and goodwill.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

The early church was blessed and grew because they took the Lord Jesus at Spirit value and did all that He said to do. I salute you today, in the name of the Lord.
Lord Jesus, on this Christmas Day to celebrate Your birth we remember this:

You denied Yourself and left Your familiar surrounding of a heavenly Kingdom where You were worshipped and adored by angelic beings, seraphim and cherubim. The elders and living creatures surrounded You and continually sang praises to You. Lamb of God, we raise our voice on this occasion to praise and worship You this day.

God the Father and the Holy Spirit’s love was so strong there---that it illuminated that Great Place. There, You had glory, honor, power, and a Kingdom of peace. You willingly left it all behind so You could be a missionary in a foreign land called the Earth. Lamb of God, we raise our voice to thank You for Your sacrifice on this day.

You allowed Yourself to be born in a humble stall amidst the domestic beasts of the Earth. You came in such haste, that You were wrapped in swaddling clothes and placed in a manger. Lamb of God, we raise our voice on this occasion to thank You for displaying for us what humility is.
Your message was so urgent that God placed a bright and shining star in the East, so that men would see the sign that You had arrived. Lamb of God, we raise our voice on this occasion to thank the shepherds and wise men that witnessed Your birth historically for our sake.
An angel and the great company of the heavenly host praised God and announced this awesome event. Shepherds of the field visited You and rejoiced at Your Presence. Wise Magi brought offerings of their treasures to present to You. They were overjoyed as they bowed down to worship. Lamb of God, we raise our voice on this occasion to bow down and worship You for Your redemption of mankind.

Lamb of God, we recall and recognize that You have shown man Your great love. We thank You this day as we gather with other Christians throughout the world in memory of Your birth. May our prayer and honor please You this day. May this day be set aside as holy and pleasing to You, through Your Holy name. Amen

Mat 9:37-38 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers into his harvest.

So few want to labor and strive in My Kingdom. So few dedicate their life and mission to serving Me. So few does so little to reach others with the Gospel. The Good News is hoarded. One's own salvation is kept secret. Some cannot even declare they are a Christian for fear of ridicule by the world.

Reach my dying world for Me, and pray that I send laborers to assist in the Great Commission. The day will come when the land grows silent and words from Me are not spread. Words that are not Mine is what will be heard. Pray and go. I am in need of Kingdom laborers.

With Love Eternal, Jesus

Christ's message to bring Good News to others has never failed to be His priority. As we reflect on how we have used our lives for Christ, let us also remember fervently in prayer those that do go forth telling others of our Savior.

Mat 9:12-13 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

My design is not just to give physical healing, though that is what you desire and pray for. My will is to bring wholeness to your soul so that you will not be divided in your thoughts and choices and actions. When you are fully Mine, without the nagging doubts that you oft have, then you will find that the gift I give of wellness to the body will follow suit. Just as sin cannot dwell in My Presence, for I am a holy God, sickness cannot dwell when I am with you, for I am the Great Physician.

I want you in health as your spirit prospers in the way of the Kingdom. When you have made that choice to no longer give me segments of you, when you surrender to My authority and Lordship over your life, you will see that the wholeness you have desired has come to pass. Wilt thou be made whole?

With Love Eternal, Jesus

The Lord has ordered that we be fully His. Not one foot in the world and the other foot in heaven. If we should desire the physical healing only without the spirit being touched and turned away from the very sins that cause our illnesses, we have nothing more than to have put a bandage over a gaping soul that craves more of Jesus, but refuses the healing balm that must accompany it. Jesus does heal. Let Him healing you from the crown of your head to the sole of your feet.

Good Morning Friends issue 19

Mat 9:20-22 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

Daughter, you will note that I minded not the interruption. You will note that I minded not the approach from behind which is viewed as impolite by some. You will note that I minded not a touch. You will note I turned to look upon a daughter, the seeker of God, and I was pleased by her faith and pronounced her whole.

What I not do the same for you if you would just come to Me and allow Me to make you well. You have exhausted all other means in quest of health. Turn now, in faith, and but stretch forth your hand. Seek, faith believing, and I will not only look upon you with favor, but comfort You with a wholesome cure. It is faith, your faith, that makes Me turn about to you. Then go, and proclaim all I have done for you.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

It is my testimony that I had a miraculous healing, and few cared to hear even though modern means documented it with X-rays. Perhaps you have a testimony that needs to be heard so that the Lord might be glorified?

Good Morning Friends issue 18

Mat 9:15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.

Child, the time to fast is when you cannot discern Me with you. When you feel as if I am absent, I am not far off. You are distracted with the ways of the world and the burdens of your life.
However brief or prolonged, and by whatever method you use to refrain from what is keeping us apart it is a fast recognized by Me. It is a fast of the flesh that I might fill your spirit to overflowing once more.

Fast when you feel I have been taken away. I am only taken away when you cease from calling upon Me. Devote time to Me and you will hear My heart speaking to yours.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

We need not set apart 40 straight days. Is a few hours of going without comfort of the flesh, and in prayer and deep reflection too much to do to regain our love for the Savior and understand His deep sacrifice in coming to us? Shall the devil keep coming at us, or shall we invite the Bridegroom to come to us as we prepare to receive Him?

Mat 8:26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

Have I been with you so long, little one, and you do not yet know Me and trust Me? Sometimes your fears are greater than your faith, and I do not ridicule you for that. I do ask that you desire to overcome your fear of fears. When something unknown comes your way, you forget that I am with you always. And most of the time you anticipate fear whilst nothing untoward has even happened to you. I am right by your side. I never leave you. Why is it you cannot feel Me and sense My nearness?

Why must you be fearful and short on faith? Do not doubt My love for you. Wonder instead how many times you have failed to see Me protect you from the unknowns. The things that happen to you are for a purpose. I am trying to build a strong and confident you. Shall you look for the calm after the storm, or shall you have that calm right now? Feel My Presence and never doubt I am with you.

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

Our fears are varied between us. But they are all experienced with instruction from Jesus on how to overcome and loose them. May we look into His gentle eyes and flee into His outstretched arms and be freed from the fears that bind us and keep us apart from Him.

Good Morning Friends issue 14

Mat 8:22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
You are buried with Me in baptism. You are no longer dead. You are alive in Christ Jesus forever more. Because I live you live through Me. Why do you turn to the past and follow the dead ways of the world before you had a personal encounter with Me?

Little one, loose the past. Let the dead bury the dead and the past. Remove your mourning clothes and put on the fine white linen I clothe you with. Rejoice each day that you no longer follow a dead and lifeless god, but One who is Creator and breathes life into you each and every breathe you take.

No longer mourn as if your loved one does not live with Me. Forget the past and quit stalling progress in your spiritual walk. All I ask is that you follow Me. Is that too difficult for you to comprehend? Do you refuse to serve a resurrected Christ?

With Love Eternal,
Jesus

We live and move and have our being through Christ alone. He has filled us with new life. Why walk about with faces downcast and and life a lifeless life without His power and joy?

Good Morning Friends issue 13

Mat 8:20 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

Child, I have given you much to be grateful for. Security is having a roof over your head and a home where I dwell with you. Lose not the peace I give. Others upon visiting you shall recognize that your home, although not arrayed lavishly with furnishings, is where I abide and welcome all that enter in. Be aware I am here with you and that all that come to your door were bidden by Me. Greet them all in My name and make them welcomed as I have welcomed you into My Kingdom. My peace I leave you. Make your home a lovely place of refuge for all I send.


With Love Eternal,

Jesus

Our house may not be a palace, but the King of kings rejoices to abide there with us. He has chosen our homes with care for us, and we can display His Presence to others as they come to visit us. We are joyful that He is always a welcomed Guest.

Good Morning Friends!

Mat 8:13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.

How I seek out faith. I note. I encourage. I am well pleased. I perform My Word as I have promised. Little one, seek to develop your faith in Me. Do not look at the circumstance, but lift your eyes and look unto Me and you shall see that miracle you seek come to pass. Only believe with all your being.

With Love Eternal,

Jesus



How very often we say we have faith until tried to the point of making a mountain be removed. May the Lord strengthen our might to have the type of faith the centurion had in seeking Jesus' favor.

Good Morning Friends!

Mat 8:19-22 And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.

Precious one, why is it that you are delaying following Me in this? Why are you saying at some more convenient time? Why do you say after this or that? Do you not care that I can not rest My head upon your shoulder now? Do not delay in following Me. Do not let that distraction keep you from carrying your cross daily. I have called you by name. I have laid down My life for You. I have bid you to come and walk upon the water with Me. I have called you to do great and mighty things in My name. If you put this off for a more convenient season, I say that you will give rise for Satan to deter you with many more reasons the following Me will never be convenient. Think on these things, child and wonder if I would so readily say no to you. Don't wait until the midnight hour when the decision can no longer be made. Follow me now. I have many surprises in store for you, beloved. Might I persuade you with My love and devotion to you?

With Love Eternal,

Jesus


How easy to think it is of no great importance to say no to a little request of the Lord's. How often we say no rather than a loving and anticipatory yes. How many blessings we will miss on the way. Heaven will only tell if we say no today.

Good Morning Friends!

Mat 8:2-3 And, behold, there came a leper and worshiped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

Beloved, once again read this simple account and note these things: My willingness to heal and cleanse from all affliction, and the immediate results of a request asked in faith. Leprosy was a detestable disease and the one who had it was faced with their aloneness and rejection from society. Although the physical malady is not your own, I can feel what you feel in your earthly walk; aloneness and rejection. I say to you that these very two things are what I will touch and heal if you but begin to worship Me. I will give you fellowship and I will give you acceptance as you receive Me in you and you in Me. Others will see that resemblance of Me reflected in you, and I declare they will be drawn to you, and your days of being set apart will be over. Do you believe Me in this, child? I do what I proclaim. Receive your season to blossom as you revere Me.

With Love Eternal,

Jesus

So often we wonder why, while Jesus wonders when. If you have not begun a journey of praise and worship before entering His Presence in prayer, do so. You will never regret one moment devoted to knowing what He desires in us. When will you begin to give Him His due?

Good Morning Friends!

Mat 7:15-18 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

Dearest child, I have been teaching you when something does not ring right. You feel an uneasiness when someone of seemingly rapport says something concerning the Bible that just doesn't hold weight with you. You are not ignorant of the evil one's intent to cause dissension through mistruths. I am watching over your spirit. I am encouraging you to know Me and to know the Word so that when someone presents you a weed, you may quickly dispose of it. Loved one, You know Me and I am grateful for the many hours you have spent in communion with Me through the Word. Stand firm and stay alert. I say in the latter days that many will be deceived. I say that you shall not waiver. I am guarding your soul. I know My own and I call you by name to come apart with Me, and rest assured in our relationship--not what someone might say to shake your faith. You are Mine, beloved. Listen with care and see their fruit. Let none deceive you with persuasive speech. I stand guard.

With Love Eternal,

Jesus



The current time we live in is a blessing with communication technology. But it can also be a great deterrent with those that spread untruths and false religion. Know the Word. Know how the Lord speaks. Know with a certainty that no one can snatch you from the Lord's hands through deceit if you know Him intimately.

Good Morning Friends!

Mat 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Never faint in your prayers. Never doubt that I hear. Never fear that help is not on its way. My child, many are your concerns and you are right in bringing them all to me. Now if you would place them at the foot of the cross where I conquered all in you behalf you would have peace in knowing I am working all things out for your good. And forget not that there are many others involved in your prayers. I am obligated to do good to all my children that have accepted Me as Lord. Forget not that I must do what is right for the whole of My people and this is why some prayer answers appear to be delayed. Say not, God said no, but say instead my God has said the answer is on its way in the best manner for all involved. I must be glorified and this is the true purpose of answered prayers. Say you will let Me have My way in My perfect timing. I delight to give. Delight to trust in Me until you see your prayer manifested, and do not fail to give Me the glory.

With Love Eternal,

Jesus

God remembers each and every prayer we utter. We often forget what we petitioned. God remembers each and every answered prayer. We often fail to recognize the answer. God remembers each petition granted that we failed to praise and thank Him for. Let us not rob Him of this honor. Keeping a prayer journal will remind us that God is faithful, even when we were not.

Good Morning Friends!

Mat 7:1-2 "Don't judge, so that you won't be judged. For the way you judge others is how you will be judged — the measure with which you measure out will be used to measure to you.

You know that one day soon, I will judge all and put all things under subjection to Me. I see your struggle with those that are less than to be commended. I see your frustration as you judge their behavior and match it against what you would do. I know that it bothers you that some have such a low standard of morals. Yet, I say to you do not judge before the time. Even kings and rulers are under my feet and I have a time and place for perfecting those that have chosen to walk outside of the Ten Commandments and Golden Rule. I will make that troublesome one to desire and act upon perfecting that flaw that you so obviously see in them. Fret not. Judge not. Pray for them instead. You shall see the desired results if you will be not weary and not faint. I will judge and I will work in the heart of man. Be at peace, child.

With Love Eternal,

Jesus

As we see the decline of morals and just plain and simple goodness, we are upset that society in general and those we personally know of can wander so far from the path of righteousness that we are used to travelling on. Yet we know that no one, no action and no deed passes by the ever watchful eye of the Lord. Be assured that He that sees and knows all has a time to make your troublesome acquaintences bow to His knee.

Good Morning Friends!

Mat 6:19 "Do not store up for yourselves wealth here on earth, where moths and rust destroy, and burglars break in and steal. Instead, store up for yourselves wealth in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and burglars do not break in or steal. For where your wealth is, there your heart will be also.

My little child, I see your desires. I know you want the things that you see others have. I know the pressures there is in what society has labeled, "Keeping up with the Jones." I know that you labor diligently so that you might have the extras that are so pleasing to the senses. I know you, My little one, and I do not begrudge the little additional things to the necessities that you long for. I will provide if you will but fix your heart upon Me and attain the spiritual riches I so desire to lavish upon you. Come follow Me and where I lead you will discover what treasures heaven can offer that will never wax old or perish. Desire these riches that can and will enter into heaven with you. The rest will all be left behind. Naked you came from your mother, and naked you will return. Be rich in the heavenly things, My beloved.


With Love Eternal,

Jesus

The Lord has better gifts and surprises in store for us that with a limited human vision we could ever imagine. Set Him first and receive what He delights to give from His hand.

Good Morning Friends!

Mat 6:5 "When you pray, don't be like the hypocrites, who love to pray standing in the synagogues and on street corners, so that people can see them. Yes! I tell you, they have their reward already! "


I delight in each and every prayer. I relish the times you come into My presence. I see your tears and I hear your concerns. I know your love for Me, and that you place your trust in Me. I enjoy our times together and I relish each petition you request of Me. I love to give unto you and you will be pleased to know, that day in heaven, how all My answers to you were for your good and well-being. Come to me in the privacy of your soul and be open to Me. I cherish each prayer of faith.


With Love Eternal,

Jesus

Our prayers bring the Lord great pleasure. We are not a burden. We are proof of his victory of satan. Learn to come to Him often for all your needs will be met so that He might be glorified. He is always waiting for your approach to Him. Come as you are. He is expecting you.

Good Morning Friends!

Mat 4:7 "Yeshua replied to him, "But it also says, 'Do not put Adonai your God to the test.' "

Do not step out on a precipice. Do not stand close to that ledge. Do not walk away from temptation; flee from it instead for safety. Learn how to wield the Word of the Sword. Say no to every temptation that comes your way. Practice. I am aware that you can overcome. Keep trying until you are victorious in Me.

With Love Eternal,

Jesus

The Word is living and powerful. If we are not living in victory, if we feel defeated, if we cannot turn down temptation over and over again, then we have failed to be in the Presence of the Living Word. We have left our Bible's to gather dust.

Good Morning Friends!

Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of Adonai. Mt 4:4

I will supply all your needs. Learn to discern between needs and wants. As the body needs a certain daily requirement for nutrition and fuel and not an overt abundance, learn to trust Me for the appropriate amount. As you come to Me each day, and feast on Me, I will provide all that is good for you.

With Love Eternal,

Jesus
