You Are Mine

 

The Lord is saying:  I Am here, and I Am with you.  Each of you holds a place in My heart and when the purpose of the earth is complete then My heart will be filled to the full with My children.  This is something that you should look forward to, as I too eagerly look forward to that moment when My family is complete.  This is a mystery to you now, but before the earth was made I knew each of you, and when My Word is fulfilled then we will be One for eternity.  Even as I Am eternal, I still look forward to this time.  I say these things to encourage you because the path has been long and you are weary, but hold on a little longer and you will see great and mighty things in your presence.  I Am eternal and My Word is eternal, and even though you had a moment when you existed in time, at your conception you became eternal, and we will forever be together.  So, look to Me today not only as your Lord, but as a loving Father that loves you absolutely and looks forward to our eternity together every bit as much as you long to be with Me.  Hope grows with faith, so let your faith in My Word grow bright today and let the earth know that you are Mine.

 

John 17:1-26  (ESV) When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, 2  since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. 3  And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. 4  I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. 5  And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed. 6  “I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7  Now they know that everything that you have given me is from you. 8  For I have given them the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me. 9  I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours. 10  All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them. 11  And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. 12  While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13  But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14  I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15  I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. 16  They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17  Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. 18  As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19  And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth. 20  “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, 21  that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22  The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23  I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me. 24  Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. 25  O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. 26  I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.” 

(Matt 25:31-46)

Stay In My Word

 

The Lord is saying:  I Am here, and I Am with you.  My ways are good, and I Am truthful and you can trust Me in all things.  The enemy tries to bring doubt into your lives, and when there is doubt, then there is hesitation and a pulling back from Me and My direction to you.  When you pull back from Me, then you allow the enemy to sneak his way into your lives in many ways.  You may not have even noticed when the enemy has entered your lives, for he is an opportunist and will wait for the perfect time to disrupt your life in some way.  This could be as simple as having little or no patience with your loved ones, and this will bring division within your clan and breed malcontent.  And if this isn’t checked and corrected then hearts could be hurt and damage to your relationship could bring separation.  This is not My way for you, My loves.  Read My word – study what I say to you and see if I Am not trustworthy and My ways right and good.  It is when you neglect the reading of My word that you are more prone to disruption in your soul.  Set aside time each day to read My word, and you will be less susceptible to the enemy’s attacks. 

 

Gal 5:16-26 (ESV)  But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17  For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. 18  But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19  Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20  idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, 21  envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23  gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 24  And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25  If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. 26  Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. 

(Psalm 19; Psalm 119)

Actively Choose Righteousness

The Lord is saying:  I Am here, and I Am with you. Keep your focus on Me, My loves, for the earth is a very dangerous place and I will guide you through it with safety.  The enemy, as a roaring lion, seeks to steal, kill and destroy all things, and especially My children, for he thinks that attacking you is also attacking Me.  As I Am perfection and am clothed in light, the enemy is vile and dwells in the darkness, and these extremes cannot be any further apart.  The battleground is in the middle, where there are many in the valley of decision and are now required to make a choice between the two, but many are obstinate and like sitting on the fence and not making any choices.  These think by not making any decisions they can live with one foot on each side and take advantage of both.  But My loves, they err because not making any decisions is the same as making the choice for separation from Me, which is darkness and gloom.  In order to be part of My kingdom and part of the Light, you must actively make the choice to follow Me and My ways.  I have laid out the plan very meticulously in My Word, and it is very easy to follow as a child can understand it.  So, at the judgment there will be no excuse for those who didn’t take the opportunity to decide, for their fate has been sealed.  All people are born by default on the path of destruction, and only those who actively choose righteousness can be allowed into My presence.  Choose wisely.

 

Matt 7:12-14  “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. 13  “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14  For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. 

(John 1:5, John 10:10; Col 1:13; Joel 3:14; Matt 18:3)
