I AM GOD

Locusts have eaten away the years

My eyes have cried rivers of tears

Hope is hanging as if by a thread;

My feet are bruised from this path I have tread.

Yet one thing remains deep within:

The will to persist, to fight to win;

The  will to live, the joy to give.

Lord in this place of pain is where I truly meet with you;

Where every tear is wiped away and Your Glory shines through. 

"For each tear speaks a prayer of a thousand words

of things unseen, of cries unheard.

"And I hold each tear within my heart, for from them I'm birthing a brand new start.

“So lift up your head and rejoice!" says the Lord.

"Take heart, be still and know that I Am God" ❤️🕊

John Ch.15

O to know Me Child; ALL OF ME; Me in My Fullness.
This is My heart's first and DEEPEST desire - and it is also yours.
This is the Cry of My Heart - and it is also yours.
Do you remember -
          when I came searching for Adam and Eve in My garden, in the cool of the day?
The yearning of My Heart was for them to be with ME always
This is the same yearning I have for you, My Beloved. I long for you to draw near to Me;
And  My Heart is filled with such joy when we are together; No greater joy is there for Me than when one of My Children chooses Me over the temptations of the world - even for just a few moments.
I AM the Almighty and infinitely powerful God: You are only complete through your union with Me: The joy you so desperately seek - and need - is neither complete nor fulfilled without Me. Even before you reach my throne I AM already there to meet you.

As much as you love Me and desire to be with Me where I AM , My Love and Desire for you is infinitely greater. I have planted this Garden for YOU and within it are the fruits pertaining to Life: Exceedingly, abundantly more than you could ask or even imagine, have I reserved in Heaven for you. I have fruit for every season  in your life, and some of these seasons will be inevitably harder than others: But in every season I INVITE YOU TO TASTE AND SEE THAT THE LORD IS GOOD! I invite you into the garden I have planted for you, to take My yoke upon you and learn from Me: Be yoked to Me and I will be with you - and when I AM with you the burden will always be light.
Be yoked together with Me; that you can learn My Ways and walk in them.  For as the heavens are higher than the Earth, you can take comfort in this:  That My Ways are infinitely higher than yours, and to walk in them is safety, comfort and Rest for your soul.
When you are yoked together with Me, you are never alone, and even in your darkest hour, even in the most dire of circumstances, you can take heart in the truth that I will never leave you or forsake you, but will daily bare your burdens: On the cross I became forsaken, so that you will never, ever have to face ANYTHING alone!

To be yoked with Me is to know that you have the victory in EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE.

To be yoked with Me is to TRUST Me over every circumstance; to acknowledge Me as LORD over every situation and to walk in humble obedience.
To be yoked with Me requires your cooperation and TOTAL surrender - and if you are willing to take My yoke upon you, I promise to give you My Grace to endure through the hardest of times; to stand victorious over the mightiest of giants, and to lead you from strength to strength, all the way through to Life Everlasting.
Remember that I AM the Only Way, the Only Truth, the Only Life --- and I have made a Way for You.
Matt 16:24;  Matt 11:28-30;  Matt 27:46; Ps 84:7; 1 Samuel 17

A Word from Jesus

"I lead you and keep you on My Paths, so you are safe and may have deliverance from your enemies; that you may experience My Goodness and My Mercy, and that you will be KNOWN AS RIGHTEOUS - for with every step you take on that Path you become more like Me.
Even when that Way leads you through the valley of the shadow of death, you need not fear, for I uphold you with My Righteous Right Hand and I have promised to never leave you or forsake you. Indeed the paths you walk have already been trodden by Me, so simply set your feet in the foot prints of Me your Master.
This Way I call you to tread is narrow but sure:  There will be no stronger foundation in your life than when I call you to walk in My Ways, for I AM the Way, the Truth, the Life, and My Ways ALWAYS lead to Life. 

“Father…”
No one comes to The Father except through the Son; 
"Yet it is OUR desire, and has always been, from the very beginning, that you will know Me. For when you look at My Son, you see Me, your Father; and when you choose to walk in His Ways, you are walking in Mine. Come to Me all you who are weary and heavy laden, and I WILL give you REST. This is not a temporary or conditional or incomplete rest, but this is MY REST, that I ACCOMPLISHED and COMPLETED through my Son before I laid the foundations of the world.  For YOU My Child. For YOU, THIS REST IS FOR YOU and it breaks My heart when My children, for whom I gave My Only Son, LACK THE FAITH TO ENTER IN. 

Come to Me, and trust in the Love that has overcome Death; Let Me in and Sup with Me that you will know Me. For to know Me child - to truly know Me - is to KNOW MY REST, and to know Rest is to know Life and know it to its fullest. 
And to Know Life is to have the courage to lay down your own; and dare to receive with all your heart and soul the greatest gift that I have ever given;
This is the gift that I gave through 
My Son, on the seventh day, when 
I said "It is done!"
So abide with Me now, - Enter My Rest
And receive from Me Child, My very Best.

Ps 23,  Genesis 2:1-3, Hebrews 4:3-11, John 14:9, John 17:3

"For better or for worse; for richer or poorer in spirit; in sickness and in health; in times of strength or weakness, joy or sorrow, faith or doubt; humility or pride, freedom or bondage; light or darkness, I Love You My Bride; I have Pledged Myself To you (I Am with you for the long haul - right to the end). I have shed My blood for you, drenched you in My love and forgiveness; infused your weaknesses with the immutable strength of the Godhead and soon I will return and take you as My Own - My pure, spotless Bride - for this is how I see you. Keep your eyes and your heart on Me; look for my return; seek My Will before your own, seek to please Me before others or Yourself. I will not forsake you; I love you more than you could ever know. I have pledged Myself to You and I promise I will come for You" Your Bridegroom Yeshua

                 The Lord’s Supper

All who are thirsty, come unto Me;    Isaiah 55:1 - abridged
Buy wine and milk - its all free!
I hesitate as I ponder His Words:
"There must be something He wants", - and the Lord overheard:
"Silver and gold I do not require
But something far more precious do I desire:
Are you willing, My Child, to give Me your life:  Galatians 2:19-20
Your hopes and your dreams; your worries and strife?
The things you are proud of,
and the things that you hide:

Can you trust these to Me, with your heart open wide?

“Are you willing to place My Will above all,   Luke 22:42
Even when it makes you feel so small?
For some things that you value - when given up to My cross; 
things once thought as gain, you will now see as loss. Philippians 3:3-8

"Will you come to My Table to enter My Rest - Hebrews 4:3, Matt. 11:28-30
Can you drink of My blood and eat of My flesh?                  
For here at My Table is where true Life begins:  John 6:53-55
My perfect Life, in exchange for your sin.

"Are you willing to become the servant of all?  Matthew 20:25-28
- where so few are chosen, though so many I call!  Matthew 22:14
Can you abase yourself just like My Son,   Philippians 2:5-8
And esteem others greater - every one;    Philippians 2:3
while you find Rest, in My arms of Love,
knowing all that you need only comes from above?   Matthew 6:33, Colossians 3:2
Do you trust Me enough to find Rest in these words: -
'You are always with me. Everything I have is yours.'?  

Luke 15:31  (Read Luke 15:11-32)
Will you love My prodigals - welcome them home,
placing  their needs above your own? John 15:13 

   
"Will you build others up, not tear them down;  1 Thess. 5:7; Heb. 10:24-25,   Eph.4:29,   Romans 14:19                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
Will you build the wall?    Nehemiah ch. 3.4
Will you fight for the crown?   Revelation 2:10,  Revelation 3:11,
Will you enter in through the narrow gate,  Matthew 7:13-14; John 10:9
By choosing Love instead of hate?        Ephesians 4:15
Will you let Me create a clean heart in you,       Psalm 51:10
so you love, not just friends, but enemies too?     Matthew 5:44,46

My Child, this is the person that I see in you:       Colossians 3:3
One like My Son - created brand new!               1 John 3:2
For only by this Way, can you be free:-              John 14:4-6
The whole of you - for the whole of Me!             John 3:16
This is the Gift that I willingly give when you come to My Table -
That you may live!"           Isaiah 55:1

One Made Whole

Luke 17:11-19 - Ten Lepers Healed

Luke 17: 15 - And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God. And he fell on his face at His feet giving thanks.
Luke 17:17 - And Jesus answering said, "Were there not ten cleansed?  But where are the nine?
Luke 17:19 - And He said unto him, "Arise, go thy way. Thy faith has made thee whole"
The Greek word for whole here is Soso - meaning to keep safe and rescue from danger or destruction  (Hell). When Jesus walked the Earth he healed many people of all kinds of physical ailments. But His desire, and the desire of the Father who sent Him, was to do so much more than that. 
As God in a human body, Jesus met the physical needs of the people. to prepare their hearts for the great work of salvation and healing needed in their souls that, through his sacrifice on the cross, he yearned so much to give them - and us. 
Ten lepers were physically healed, but only one was made whole(Spirit, soul and body) . Why?  Because with gratitude in his heart, he turned back to thank God - and he worshiped.

For are we not all like these lepers in our souls; alienated from our loving Creator, through the terrible disease of sin? The One who made a leper completely whole is the same One who is able to completely heal the hearts and souls of every person who will come to Him with a humble heart, believing that he is able.

John 5:2-9
Meanwhile at the Bethesda Pool:.....Jesus asks a paralytic a paramount question: "Do you want to be whole? Read John 5:1
How could this man have sinned? He had been in a paralyzed state, sitting in the SAME PLACE for 38 years. It seems more likely that his sin was a sin of the heart: Unbelief, leading to murmuring and complaining, leading to bitterness and self pity: "Sir I have no man, when the water is troubled, to pick me up and put me into the pool: but while I am coming another steps down before me." This man's sickness was one of the heart, and Jesus knew that. As already stated Jesus healed the outside so He could reach the inside. On the outside Jesus can make us well, but only from the inside can He make us whole.
