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 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

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.

"I AM the LORD of what's righteous and true;
I will not let go of My Love for you.
For when everything's falling to pieces all around
Just cling to the one source of Hope you have found.
I AM the One from whom Life pervades;
- the darkness, deception and lies, I invade.
My Truth, sometimes painful to see,
once received, will become Life to thee.
FOR IT IS ONLY MY TRUTH THAT CAN SET YOU FREE"

For the cup of repentance tastes bitter at first:
Weeping, lamenting, shame, hurt.
But Jesus has promised this will not endure:
"For the Blood of My Son is what makes your heart pure.
Now you can cast ALL your burdens on Me,
In exchange for My Peace, My Victory.
Now you can truly enter My  Rest
For there at the Cross, I gave you My Very Best!
The blood, the Life of My Only Son;
Walk with Him, in Him - and the battle is won!

For here at the Cross, He uttered the three
most powerful Words in history:
"It is accomplished!" You can be sure
those Words will endure forever more!"

"I AM the God of Restoration, My Child. I restore you; I restore your life; I restore your soul.  Harken unto Me; Hear the Voice of your Creator. For I have searched you and I know you intimately. Is that not a good thing My Child? Think on this:  Nothing you think, say or do takes Me by surprise. I know when you rise and when you sit; I know when you are up and when you are down; I know the things that cause you to withdraw, to run, to hide from Me. I see the bondages, the hidden sin.  I love you when you lift your head high before Me, confidently radiating and basking in My Glory;  I love you when you run and hide from Me in the shadows, in those moments of fear shame and condemnation. My Child, I seek you out at those times and encourage you through repentance, to step into the Light of My Presence, where there is no condemnation and where sin and darkness cannot abide, but only Light and Truth, for it is My truth that sets you free.
I know what makes you sad, anxious, afraid. I also know what excites you, brings you joy, causes you to wonder and question, fills you with compassion, quickens you to action and overwhelms you with love.  My love for you is steadfast through every season, every up and down moment in your life. I know you in ways that you do not yet know; I see the untapped areas of your life that are, right now beyond your comprehension. I see you as perfect My Child, radiating and reflecting all of My Goodness. I am overwhelmed with joy at the person you are, and filled with excitement at the person you will yet become - And when you look at Me - when you really focus on Me, you will begin to see yourself as I see you.

"Oh Lord, You keep Me on the path of Light;
You keep Me going strong.
I bow the knee to  worship Thee;
My Life, my Strength, my Song

"For there is much Freedom in Me, My Child;
When you know the One to whom you belong."

For God is ready to pour forth MERCEY – Yes the Word is MERCY; the prayer is and will continue to be 2 Chronicles 7:14. For the heart of the LORD is Mercy, just as the heart of this nation is the Church. This nation will live, only as long as the heart of the Church beats in tune with the heart of the LORD. For the LORD’s heart is MERCY – before judgment. “Hear, My People: Stand fast in this Word. For I have heard the cries, the groans and every tear that has fallen has by no means gone un-noticed: I WILL YET POUR OUT MY SPIRIT ON THIS LAND ONE FINAL TIME”, says the Lord. “DO NOT, my people, be swayed by the turmoil of what you hear, of what you see, of what you think you know, or of what others – even those in authority - say they know. For the word of this world is ‘hate’. BUT MY WORD TO YOU MY CHURCH IS LOVE – LOVE your enemies. For you say “This is our nation”. But I say to you, “THIS IS MY NATION – I WILL DO WITH HER AS I WILL; I WILL YET DO GREAT AND MIGHTY THINGS THROUGH HER AND WITHIN HER WALLS IF YOU WILL SURRENDER AMERICA – AND YOURSELVES – BACK INTO MY HANDS.
“Fear not – and be not shaken by what you perceive in the natural – for the pull of hate, the temptation to hate, is strong, even on you my Elect. Do not be tempted into judging others the way the world does, but rather, allow Me to be the Judge”, says the Lord. “Only one thing I require of you, My Beloved: That you love Me (that you give yourself to Me) with all of your heart – and that you love your neighbor as yourself – indiscriminate of color, creed, nationality or even religion. Do not compromise, but stand fast in Me: My Word and My Spirit.

When you do this – when you choose to love instead of to hate – you disarm the powers of darkness, opening the door for My Spirit to move and hastening the coming of My Kingdom. When you step out in faith and reach out in Love (REAL LOVE - John 15;13), I promise I will always, always equip you with everything else that you need, to be My witness. Learn by the power of My Spirit within you and the Blood of My Son which speaks MERCY, to love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you – YES EVEN THOSE IN HIGH PLACES” says the LORD.
“FOR MY MERCY IS COMING! IT IS ABOUT TO FALL IN TORRENTS UPON THIS LAND – AND IT WILL FALL WITHOUT DISCRIMINATION. For I do not judge as you do”, says the Lord. “For you do not see as I do; therefore do not be surprised upon whom My mercy falls”. Trust Me Completely; seek Me fervently. I AM your only safe refuge in this hour. Cry out to Me for Mercy – before my judgment; for My judgment will come: BUT I am not through with this nation; and even now - in this late hour MERCY IS WHAT I STILL DESIRE TO GIVE!”, says the LORD. Hosea 6:3& 6, Zech 10:1
For everyone who falls on this STONE will be broken into pieces (mercy) BUT – he upon whom it falls will be crushed (judgment). Matt 21:44
Also:- James 2:13; Matt 9:13; Matt 24:14; Heb 12:22-25;
