The Best Decision

The Lord is saying: I Am here, and I Am with you. Stand on the Rock, My loves.  Stand on My Son, Jesus Christ, and you will be victorious over the sin in your lives.  When He is the foundation of your life and soul, then there is nothing that can touch you or remove you from My favor.  You are secure in My grasp, for you now belong to Me and nothing else has charge over you.  My promises are true and I have a grand future planned for you.  Remember that the earth is just a testing ground to give you opportunity to choose between Me and self, and when you surrender self to Me then you will have eternal life with Me.  Those who do not choose Me, but choose self, will be left alone and suffer greatly for eternity.  The choice is yours, either for Me or against Me, and upon your physical death in this realm, you destination is set, so this is the most important decision you will ever make.  My Son is the Word made flesh, so read the Word daily.  Press into Him and you will be given wisdom and understanding.  Keep your focus on Me and you will rise above the darkness of this land and those around you will see your faithfulness and help them make the right decision to follow Jesus as well.  The gates of Hades will not prevail against the Rock that is Jesus the Messiah, so press into Him today.  Those who already know Me, know that this is the best decision you could ever make.

 

Mat 16:13-19 (ESV)  Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14  And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15  He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16  Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17  And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. 18  And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19  I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”

You Are My Masterpiece

The Lord is saying: I Am here, and I Am with you. Though you cannot see Me, you know Me.  Though you sometimes cannot feel Me, you trust that I Am there.  Though you don’t know what is happening around you, you have given your full trust to Me.  I will never leave you nor will I forsake you, My loves, and when you truly have the faith of a mustard seed, then I Am able to work miracles through you.  And not only miracles, but even greater than My Son, Yeshua, when He walked the earth among you.  I know you have difficulty understanding this, but it is true, for you are in ever nation.  Your faith engages My Spirit in many that are around you, and mountains of unbelief are cast into the depths of the sea.  And this is nothing short of a miracle, for through you and because of your example I Am able to move in mighty ways.  It is when you turn inward that I then work on your heart, that I work out your “self” and I work in My Spirit.  There is nothing more special to Me than a soul that is fully surrendered and shaped by My Spirit into a masterpiece in My kingdom.  Many are My masterpieces in Heaven, but each are as different as the morning’s sunrise.  And My focus is on you, My loves, for you are the center of My creation and I Am well pleased with you.  Press into Me and know that I Am there with you.

 

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. 

(Matt 17:20; John 14:12; Zeph 3:17)

I Have You Surrounded

The Lord is saying: I Am here, and I Am with you. Keeping your focus on Me is a surefire way of keeping the enemy at bay in your lives.  When you feel attacked, turn to Me and I will protect you.  I have many angels assigned to you, many more than the enemy has, for only a third of the angels fell with Lucifer at the time of the rebellion, which means there are twice as many warring angels, guardian angels and ministering angels that are assigned to My children.  And when you are attached ferociously, I send more to surround you in your time of need.  My loves, if you could see into the Spirit realm you would be both terrified and comforted, for you would see a reality that you sense but cannot form pictures in your mind to describe.  There will be a day when you will see beyond the veil and you will see clearly the righteous angel army that was always around you, and you will praise the God of all Creation, for I Am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last and nothing escapes My gaze.  I see all, know all and behold all, so My loves, this is an encouragement for you today, that when you feel attacked, that there is a war in the spirit realm that has intensified greatly as we move closer to the time of Jacob’s trouble, which is Daniel’s Seventieth Week.  This is the time of testing for My chosen people, Israel, that they too recognize their Messiah and be saved by His sacrifice for them.  So yes, time is moving quickly to this moment, and I have you surrounded by My army as you seek Me in all things. 

 

2 Kings 6:8-23 (ESV) Once when the king of Syria was warring against Israel, he took counsel with his servants, saying, “At such and such a place shall be my camp.” 9  But the man of God sent word to the king of Israel, “Beware that you do not pass this place, for the Syrians are going down there.” 10  And the king of Israel sent to the place about which the man of God told him. Thus he used to warn him, so that he saved himself there more than once or twice. 11  And the mind of the king of Syria was greatly troubled because of this thing, and he called his servants and said to them, “Will you not show me who of us is for the king of Israel?” 12  And one of his servants said, “None, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom.” 13  And he said, “Go and see where he is, that I may send and seize him.” It was told him, “Behold, he is in Dothan.” 14  So he sent there horses and chariots and a great army, and they came by night and surrounded the city. 15  When the servant of the man of God rose early in the morning and went out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was all around the city. And the servant said, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?” 16  He said, “Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” 17  Then Elisha prayed and said, “O LORD, please open his eyes that he may see.” So the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. 18  And when the Syrians came down against him, Elisha prayed to the LORD and said, “Please strike this people with blindness.” So he struck them with blindness in accordance with the prayer of Elisha. 19  And Elisha said to them, “This is not the way, and this is not the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek.” And he led them to Samaria. 20  As soon as they entered Samaria, Elisha said, “O LORD, open the eyes of these men, that they may see.” So the LORD opened their eyes and they saw, and behold, they were in the midst of Samaria. 21  As soon as the king of Israel saw them, he said to Elisha, “My father, shall I strike them down? Shall I strike them down?” 22  He answered, “You shall not strike them down. Would you strike down those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink and go to their master.” 23  So he prepared for them a great feast, and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. And the Syrians did not come again on raids into the land of Israel.
