There will be things that you will not understand,
but know that I do all things well and I never do anything in a haphazard fashion.
You can rely on Me to present the coming hour with the expertise of One
Who saw the outcome as soon as the idea took shape.

True "submission" [to the anointing on another] is not a matter of only "outward" words and actions but, rather, an "inward" revelation of My Love and true Character "abiding" in one's heart. Therefore, one cannot truly submit to another in faith, love and obedience unless they have first given their heart wholly to Me [Luke 10:27].


        , "Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with grief, for this would be unprofitable for you",  Hebrews 13:17 NASB

A New Day

Many of you are walking where you have never been before. It is not by
accident that you are there, for it was by My Spirit who brought you and
directed your steps. But now I say to you this is not a time to tread
softly. It is a time to tread firmly and boldly, for I have given you
this land to recover and regain from the enemy's hands. Though the
mountains may seem high and the valleys very deep, as you walk by faith
and obedience I will bring down and raise up the land before your very
eyes and make straight the path for the Lord of hosts. Arise and shine
My children for your light has come and a new day has dawned.

Royal Robes and Kingdom Authority

Many of God's people are conscious of their sin and feel they should be
clothing themselves in sackcloth and ashes, that they deserve only rags,
and that because of the burden of sin they carry they cannot receive the
blessings God has for them, even after they have confessed and repented
of their sin. But God says,

"My Son has paid the price for your sin. If you confess your sins and
truly repent before Me, then your sin is covered by the anointing of
the blood of Jesus. Do not fear the blood that was shed for you, it
obliterates your sin and brings healing and wholeness into your life.
Allow yourself to be anointed by the blood of Jesus; trade your filthy
rags for the Royal robes I have for you.

"So many of My people come to Me dressed in clothes of mourning. They
confess their sin, they bring Me all that is wrong in their lives; but
then they walk away, still heartbroken. They feel that they do not
deserve the anointing that I long to pour out on them, that they are
somehow disqualified from My blessings. Even if they see the purple robes
I hold out to them, they do not accept that they are worthy to receive
them, or they believe that these robes are to be held in reserve for
when they become "good enough" to wear them.

"My children, My dear and precious children, I desire that you would
not only accept those royal robes, but that you would allow Me to
dress you in them. I want you to truly know that it is your right,
your inheritance, to wear them. When you do that, you will be clothed
in kingdom power and authority, able to carry out the work I have
called you to.

"Do you believe you are serving Me but seeing no results? Do you feel
powerless and hopeless, working from a place of exhaustion but keeping
going although you are not strong enough? Clothe yourselves with My
grace, wisdom and authority. All authority in heaven and on earth was
given to Jesus, and through Him to all those who follow Him. Why do you
walk around as downtrodden paupers when I have given you authority and
riches?

"So many of you have cried yourselves into a spiritual sleep, mourning
over your sinfulness, but you have only grasped half the picture! Yes
I desire that you come to Me in true repentance for your sin; but not
in order that I might scold you or keep you as beggars or slaves--NO!
I desire that you repent, in order that I may bring healing to your
lives, that I may restore you as royal sons. Do you think that the
father of the prodigal son threw the party for one night he returned,
then sent his son back to feeding the pigs or living as a slave in his
household? No! of course he didn't--his son was fully restored. He had
full authority and rights in his father's household.

"Wake up from your slumbers, My children. See that I have clothed you
in royal robes; I have given you kingdom authority to move and live and
serve as My children. You are not called to live as slaves, but as
freed men, as kings and princes in this world. Do Not allow the enemy
to whisper in your ears, as he is doing even now, telling you that this
is not for you. Don't listen when he tells you that you deserve to be no
more than slaves, for that is not his call to make. It is Mine; and I
declare you free from sin, royal sons. I declare you worthy to move in
kingdom power and authority as children of the Living God. So awake and
arise."

The only strength that one has apart from My Grace is their own. The wisdom that one exercises apart from My Grace is ungodly, and every word spoken and every action taken apart from My Grace is unholy in My sight. Therefore, let all those who truly love Me draw near to the Throne of Grace in this most critical hour that they might receive mercy and come to "abide" in the Grace [divine empowerment] that is theirs, in Christ.

        , "For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need",  (Hebrews 4:15-16)

        , "For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds",  Titus 2:11-14 NASB

        , "Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God",  Romans 5:1-2 NASB

My Love For You

Nailed upon the cross is the past.
Injustices old or new shall not last.
The past cannot be altered nor can it be taken back.
Former things do not matter, for My love does not lack.

Wrongs just seconds old or piled up for years,
My love is the cure for all shed tears.
Days made new, times of the past all restored, relationships made right,
My love an all-embracing light.

My love is not to be hoarded but given away.
The cross offers you new life each and every day.
My cross has removed all your dross.
Come what may from sunrise to sunset,
My love is omnipresent, omniscience and omnipotent.

My love will always linger and remain.
My great love removes each and every stain.

Forever and a day, My love shall endure,
My love eternally untainted and pure.
My love is holy, innocent and blameless;
My love shall wash over you, leaving you spotless and shameless.

My love finds a manner in which you can cope,
filling your life with joy and hope.

Forgiveness, mercy and grace shroud the lessons of life.
My love by no means causes trauma or strife.
My love always flowing, moving forward, and never looking back,
My love never points a finger or keeps track.

The out pouring of My love redeems,
My love sown in the depths of your inner man beams.
You flourish when My love draws you near;
you see that My love has no fear.

The future lays in the power of My almighty hand.
With that wisdom you can take a stand.
The outlook of life lies deep within your heart.
Light and darkness, shall truly part.

Revelation of My love and dark shadows cannot live side by side--
one or the other, child, you are the one who needs to decide.

Give Me Your Scarlet Letters

Don't hide in shame. I came to substitute for you, not only by My death but
also by My life. I came so that by My example, you can live life more
abundantly.

You see it works like this. If you take My substitution for you, in whatever
area you have failed, you can consider that area overridden by My victory in
the same area. Just accept my substitution. It doesn't matter your area of
failure or degree of failure. My Father won't see that at all. He'll see
only My perfect life that you've accepted on your behalf.

So let's get rid of your scarlet letters. Is it A just as Nathaniel Hawthorne
wrote it to be? Is it D because your spouse deserted you? Or divorced you?
No longer do you need to hang those letters around your neck. Take My perfect
example as their substitute.

Is it F for failure in business or in marriage or in career or in another
area of your life? Is it S for shame for some deep dark secret? Not any
more. You have my perfect life as substitute. Just accept it.

Isn't that good news? That's what "gospel" means. And that's the gospel.

My Prayer For You

Know that I created the depths of the sea and the high heavens. I
have created everything seen and unseen. The power in My right hand
alone is matchless, nothing known to man compares to its strength
and might.

My love for you is regardless who you are, where you come from or
who I assigned your earthly parents to be. My love for you is
unending and knows no boundaries.

Permit Me to be your provider, your healer, your deliverer, your
savior. Permit Me to be your friend, your source, your all in all.

I come with out stretched hands at your hearts beckon call and
relish the times you need Me.

My prayer for you, My child, is that you would soon realize that
I am indeed right there when you need Me, always at your side.

When one allows themselves to remain in captivity [bondage] to a "critical spirit" [controlling spirit] they are incapable of formulating a "righteous" judgement [discernment] in any given situation [Romans 2:1-2]. For the fear and pride that have caused the stronghold that the Enemy has established within them to remain will blind them to the spiritual reality that is before them and, thus, everything they discern is a product of their own heart - a heart that remains damaged and unable to function properly.

"formulate" - to express in precise form [accurately];


, "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right, persevering, and steadfast spirit within me. Cast me not away from Your presence and take not Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and uphold me with a willing spirit", Psalms 51:10-12 The Amplified Translation

You have given us our inheritance, our possession in the land.
In the Name of Jesus, by the Law of Redemption, I take back all that the enemy has stolen from me these past years.
I claim my right of possession over my marriage, my children, my finances, my household goods,
my job, my loved ones, my ministry, and all that you have given into my hands!

Read my prophets anew and you will be at peace.
The coming move is prophesied and must be.

I am with you.

The "wilful" [continued] exercising of fear on the part of any one of My children blinds them to the love [My Love for them] and Wisdom that is abiding in their heart [1 John 4:4] - and this, in turn, blinds them to My Love and Wisdom abiding in the heart of the ones I have sent to them for their greatest well-being. It is only My Love that will cast out EVERY ground of fear - and, thus, it is of the utmost importance for all those who are truly seeking first the Kingdom to be established in an environment of Love [true spiritual environment - both individually [in the "inner chamber"] and corporately] in order that they might be perfectly prepared for the glorious days just ahead.

, "God is love, and he who dwells and continues in love dwells and continues in God, and God dwells and continues in him. In this [union and communion with Him] love is brought to completion and attains perfection with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him], because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear brings with it the thought of punishment, and [so] he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love [is not yet grown into love's complete perfection]", 1 John 4:16-18 The Amplified Translation
Christianity EtcRe: Jesus Said by grace5: 12:12pm On Dec 18, 2009
I am Christ,
the Son of the living God,
who comes to seek and save those who are lost.
Yes, to save you from your sin and eternal separation from your creator.
All will one day call my name, Jesus, as Son of God, Lord, King, Savior.
Every knee will bow before me and every tongue will confess that I am Lord.
Will you be preparing for an eternity with me, in mansions I have prepared for you,
or for separation from me, in a place prepared for Satan and his angels?

The choice is yours.

"For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost."

Fly Like An Arrow

Have you seen the arrow fly from the bow of the archer?

You are My arrow.

Take heed of how I draw My bow back. I am transmitting My anointing into
the arrow. I would have you to fly straight and true into the goal, into
the target, into the bull's-eye. My anointing is in you. I would fire you
into the situations in the world both near and far away.

Fly with Me. Only be clear as to My targets, and only fly true to My
purposes.

Do not let those feathers become ruffled by small things and you will be
sure to fly straight as I am guiding you. Then you will be strong and do
exploits. So be filled with My anointing and fly strong and true. Do those
exploits that will cause you to hear the Father say to you 'Well done, I
am proud of you'

One cannot successfully counterfeit "divine" revelation because the Spirit of Truth [Love] is inseparably linked [fused] with it and, thus, the "fruit" [light or darkness, righteousness or unrighteousness] shall, ultimately, be seen [revealed].

        , "Your eye is the lamp of your body; when your eye (your conscience) is sound and fulfilling its office, your whole body is full of light; but when it is not sound and is not fulfilling its office, your body is full of darkness. Be careful, therefore, that the light that is in you is not darkness. If then your entire body is illuminated, having no part dark, it will be wholly bright [with light], as when a lamp with its bright rays gives you light",  Luke 11:34-36 The Amplified Translation

+       It is ONLY the Cross [and the Spirit thereof] that can deal thoroughly with the "spirit of mammon".

        , "Do not gather and heap up and store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust and worm consume and destroy, and where thieves break through and steal. But gather and heap up and store for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust nor worm consume and destroy, and where thieves do not break through and steal; For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. The eye is the lamp of the body. So if your eye is sound, your entire body will be full of light. But if your eye is unsound, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the very light in you [your conscience] is darkened, how dense is that darkness! No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stand by and be devoted to the one and despise and be against the other. You cannot serve God and mammon (deceitful riches, money, possessions, or whatever is trusted in). Therefore I tell you, stop being perpetually uneasy (anxious and worried) about your life",  Matthew 6:19-25 The Amplified Translation

It is time for each and every one of My precious children to enter into a new level of faith [trust] and rest - a new level that will position them perfectly to continually access My Grace, through a deep hungering and thirsting after righteousness [justice].

"If because of the sabbath [rest], you turn your foot from doing your own pleasure on My holy day, and call the sabbath a delight, the holy day of the LORD honorable, and honor it, desisting from your own ways, from seeking your own pleasure and speaking your own word, then you will take delight in the LORD, and I will make you ride on the heights of the earth; and I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father, for the mouth of the LORD has spoken", Isaiah 58:13-14 NASB

, "So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His. Therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest, so that no one will fall, through following the same example of disobedience. For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do", Hebrews 4:9-13 NASB

, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied", Matthew 5:6 NASB

Church, Arise! Throw Off Your Oppressors

(Note: An ancient enemy nation which oppressed Israel was named Midian.
This name means "judgment." When Israel turned to sin and idolatry, Midian came in and wasted the land.
God allowed this affliction as a discipline and judgment for Israel's sin.
Then he sent deliverers, like    Moses [see Numbers 31] and Gideon [see Judges 6-8] to overcome the Midianites.
Today these same spirits harass the church.
God is saying it's   time to rise up and thrown off these oppressors.)

The kings of Midian: Though these kings, which represent demonic spirits, were sent to Israel as judgment,
there came a time to rise up and throw      them off, thus to end the oppression and harassment.
That time has come, both for you and for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore I will give you experience in overcoming that I might use you in the larger battle against the kings of Midian.
These are actually demonic spirits which were gods of that nation, now operating as harassers, tormentors,
wounders, afflictors and rocks of hindrance against the body of Christ.
The rock of hindrance bears your down as a heavy weight, as a lethargy, like concrete overshoes, to stop your progress.
They raid you of your harvest and in your distress, misery and weakness, they make you vulnerable to strife and division.
They cause you to complain.
 So arise! The kings of Midian are given over unto your hands, Church, because the time has come for renewal, rest and restoration.
Let us rejoice!

Jesus is the Good Shepherd

Jesus also claimed to be the Good Shepherd, and in laying down His life He gives us insight into how He fulfilled the prophesy of the Alter of Burnt offerings:

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep. I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd. (John 10:11-16)

To add support to this claim of Jesus, God the Father provides the miracle of raising Him from the dead. This miracle proves that everlasting life is possible for each of us who believe that Jesus sacrificed His life to save us from death that resulted from sin. By rising He proved His power over death that is now available to us who believe. He gave His life for His sheep freely and then took it back again, just as He predicted.


Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father. (John 10:17-18)


Jesus, therefore, is the Good Shepherd and His sacrifice for the forgiveness of our sin is the replacement for the sacrifices at the Altar of Burnt Offerings. Again, the proof that Jesus is all of these things is found in His resurrection from the dead and His ascension into heaven. Here are the scriptures confirming the resurrection of Jesus from the dead and His ascension into heaven:


Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men. But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.” (Matthew 28:1-7)

And finally, the scripture confirming the ascension of Jesus into heaven:

until the day in which He was taken up, after He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen, to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God. And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Now, when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.” (Acts 1:2 – 11)

Jesus is the Lamb of God
Jesus is the Lamb of God who shed His blood and gave His life that we shall live forever in the presence of God.
The fact that Jesus was called the Lamb of God is a prophetic statement in itself.
It draws on the analogies of the blood sacrifice of the Altar of Burnt Offerings.
Here is a statement made by John, the Baptist:
The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said,

“Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29)

Come Sit At My Feet

My child, My precious child, I love it when you sit at My feet, like
Mary. Mary chose what is good, what is helpful, what is healing, to
listen, to receive My life giving words. When you sit at My feet,
you are in a place of rest. When you are resting, you are better able
to hear My voice whispering to you how much I love you. My Holy Spirit
is constantly reminding you of My unfailing, everlasting love. However,
it is in the place of rest that you are able to receive and hear the
Holy Spirit's reminders of My love.

Child, nothing can separate you from My love, no nothing! So come, sit
at My feet, stay in My presence. There you will receive everything that
you need to get you through any trial that comes your way. Come, sit
at My feet, and let Me remind you that My Son already purchased your
victory when He rose from the dead. Come, sit at My feet, and let Me
remind you that My Son purchased all of your inheritance. He has given
you every spiritual blessing.

Come, sit at My feet and receive all that I have for you. Let Me
pour out My unending love on you. Come, sit at My feet, and let Me love
on you. Come, sit at My feet, and you will feel My peace that only I
can give you.

Child, I am waiting and I am eager to spend time with you. Come, sit
at My feet, and you will never be the same.
