My Greatest Miracle

The Lord is saying:  I Am here, and I Am with you.  My love for you knows no bounds as I have sacrificed everything so that we can have communion together.  If you have surrendered your lives to Me through My Son, Jesus, then the bridge between us has been removed and you are with Me.  And you are not allowed to go back across that bridge into the darkness from which you came, for you belong to Me and Me alone.  As a child of the King, you are princes and princesses that are highly favored in My kingdom.  You are more than esteemed guests, for you are My family, My children, My loves.  I have done everything to bring you close to Me, and all that I ask is that you be holy as I Am holy.  But you cannot do anything in your own strength to become holy – only the death of My Son, Jesus, perfectly paid the price for your salvation and your entrance into My presence.  This, My loves, is My greatest miracle, even over the Creation itself.  Turning hearts of stone into hearts of flesh required you to willingly want what I have to offer, and you said “yes” to My calling.  This is such a radical thing that is so counter to what the physical world has to offer in its fallen state.  Only you, My children who walk the earth, are the only ones who will live abundant life with Me for eternity, as the earth is on the cusp of a fiery judgment.  Be encouraged, My loves.  You are royalty.

 

Eph 2:1-10 (ESV) And you were dead in the trespasses and sins 2  in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— 3  among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. 4  But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5  even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— 6  and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7  so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8  For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9  not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10  For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. 

Present The Gospel

The Lord is saying:  I Am here, and I Am with you.  The time is quickly approaching when people who don’t know Me will become very unstable and seek relief from their woes, but most will look in the wrong places.  Instead of seeking to help others they will seek to help self from all that is happening around them.  But you, My loves, I will send to them, to show them the better way – the way of abundant life.  I will give you the words to speak to them at the perfect time, that they be roused to look from their immediate circumstances up and around to see Me in their midst.  This is when they will see you, and then Me in you, and they will have a very important choice to make at that point.  If they refuse what you say to them, do not fret, My loves, for it is not you they are rejecting, but Me.  Remember that it is the job of My Holy Spirit to save those who come to you – it is your job to present them to Me, and My Spirit to change their hearts.  This is the job of obedience for My children, to present My Gospel to the world by the way you speak and by the way you live differently than the world.  Be encouraged this day, for you never know when you are affecting someone that I bring across your path that is on their journey to Me.  You may be the final steppingstone that brings them to repentance. 

 

Psalm 39:1-13 (ESV) To the choirmaster: to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. I said, “I will guard my ways, that I may not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth with a muzzle, so long as the wicked are in my presence.” 2  I was mute and silent; I held my peace to no avail, and my distress grew worse. 3  My heart became hot within me. As I mused, the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue: 4  “O LORD, make me know my end and what is the measure of my days; let me know how fleeting I am! 5  Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath! Selah 6  Surely a man goes about as a shadow! Surely for nothing they are in turmoil; man heaps up wealth and does not know who will gather! 7  “And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in you. 8  Deliver me from all my transgressions. Do not make me the scorn of the fool! 9  I am mute; I do not open my mouth, for it is you who have done it. 10  Remove your stroke from me; I am spent by the hostility of your hand. 11  When you discipline a man with rebukes for sin, you consume like a moth what is dear to him; surely all mankind is a mere breath! Selah 12  “Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to my cry; hold not your peace at my tears! For I am a sojourner with you, a guest, like all my fathers. 13  Look away from me, that I may smile again, before I depart and am no more!” 

Show Them The Way Into My Embrace

The Lord is saying:  I Am here, and I Am with you.   Prepare your hearts to see things that will disturb you, for unrest spreads across the earth.  You see rumblings in your news even now, and this will continue and become more intense in the coming days, weeks, months, and years.  Do not become disturbed when you see these things but instead know that I do these in order for the prophets of old be fulfilled.  There is an appointed time for all things, and you are now entering a time when uncertainty rules.  But you, My loves, are standing on solid ground that you are not shaken by what you see.  If you become fearful, bring these to Me that I comfort you, for you will not be comforted any other way.  I Am your peace – I Am your comfort – and I Am your all in all.  I see all things and I have a good plan, so you have no reason to fear.  Pray, My loves.  Pray that those who don’t yet know Me will understand that they have a Creator who loves them unconditionally, and My arms are wide to receive them.  Show them the way into My embrace, and your joy will be complete.

 

2 Pet 3:1-18 (ESV) This is now the second letter that I am writing to you, beloved. In both of them I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, 2  that you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles, 3  knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. 4  They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.” 5  For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, 6  and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. 7  But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly. 8  But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9  The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 10  But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed. 11  Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, 12  waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn! 13  But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. 14  Therefore, beloved, since you are waiting for these, be diligent to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace. 15  And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, 16  as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures. 17  You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, take care that you are not carried away with the error of lawless people and lose your own stability. 18  But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
