It Is All Within Your Reach

The Lord is saying: I Am here, and I Am with you.  You are troubled because you neglect your time with Me.  You are under stress because you try to achieve in your own strength.  You are without direction because you walk by sight and not by faith.  These are the signs of a child of Mine that is distracted from what is truly important – a deep relationship with Me.  I have promised you that I will be with you every moment, and yet you do not cry out to Me when you are overwhelmed with life.  So today is a new day and let your yesterdays stay put, for your future is bright in Me if you will press into Me in your Spirit within where we are connected as One.  I will help you at every moment of your lives, but usually not in the way you expect.  But as you grow in wisdom and understanding these things will become apparent and all that troubles you will be addressed.  As a light fixture doesn’t shine because it is disconnected from its power source, such is a child of Mine.  Right now, cry out to Me that you be re-connected to your life-power, that you move forward in peace and strength.  It is all within your reach, even now, so reach out to Me, and I have already put in place the answers to your requests. 

 

Phil 4:4-9 (ESV) Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. 5  Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; 6  do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7  And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8  Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. 9  What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

Lift Your Eyes to Heaven

The Lord is saying: I Am here, and I Am with you.  The difficulties of this day are mild compared to what awaits you, My loves, for Heaven is perfection in every way.  There is no death, no pain, no rush, no hardship, and no lack of any good thing.  Whenever you are overwhelmed in the earth, turn your thoughts to Me and your eternal home, and I will bring you peace, for you will truly be in Me as I Am in you.  We will be completely One without anything to come between us.  Right now in the earth, there is division, strife, hatred and all things vile that dwell in the darkness, and these things cause you to look through the glass dimly at what awaits you.  But My loves, this is such a temporary place and even time in the earth is different than the reality of Heaven.  For one thing, time in the earth keeps track of entropy, where everything winds down.  This began when Eve was first deceived, and then Adam, as they partook of the forbidden fruit, thus bringing in death for all things.  Since that time the earth has been groaning under the weight of sin, and such it is with you.  Since your destination is with Me in Heaven, your souls are crying out for redemption, for you long for Home, and I have placed that desire in each of your hearts.  You already sit in the heavenly places as you await your day of glorification, which is that moment of entrance into Heaven as your soul is freed from your sinful tent, your body that housed you in the earth.  But to be away from the body is to be in the presence of the Lord, and your redemption is close at hand, My loves, when that which you long for the most will finally be realized.  So today, lift your eyes upon Me and prepare your hearts to receive what you long for above all.  I Am.

 

2 Cor 5:1-10 (ESV) For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2  For in this tent we groan, longing to put on our heavenly dwelling, 3  if indeed by putting it on we may not be found naked. 4  For while we are still in this tent, we groan, being burdened—not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. 5  He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee. 6  So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, 7  for we walk by faith, not by sight. 8  Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord. 9  So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him. 10  For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.

Cast Your Eyes Upon Me

The Lord is saying: I Am here, and I Am with you.  I will never leave you nor will I forsake you.  I say this often for you are prone to forget My promises, and this leads you to feel alone and unappreciated, but this is far from the truth.  If you were the only person that was created by Me, I would love you the same as now, with many, many other children of Mine already with Me in Heaven.  I Am a not a respecter of persons, which means that I show no favoritism as I love each of you absolutely, and yet many of you feel that I don’t love you as much as that person who is firmly in their role that I have given them. Meanwhile you don’t see anything done for My kingdom through you.  But everyone has a different path and a different time for different things.  If everyone was a pastor, where would the missions be?  And if everyone was an evangelist, where would encouraging be?  Everyone of you have a specific role and a specific time for you to move, and in the meantime you are to grow in your relationship with Me and show others what this looks like, for when you are close to Me, then you will fulfill your role that I have defined for you.  Until that moment, and you will know, be patient as I work everything for good, for those who are in Christ Jesus, for this is My will that you shine brightly as a city on a hill.  And the oil reserved for you will never run dry as the supply is endless, for its source is the Throne of God – from Me.  So be patient, my loves, for at the perfect time you will be fully outfitted for task that is before you.  And until that time, cast your eyes upon Me, and I will give you a peace that passes understanding.

 

Matt 5:13-16 (ESV) “You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet. 14  “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15  Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16  In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
