Nothing But Good

The Lord is saying:  I Am here, and I Am with you.  The enemy prowls, but My Spirit is greater.  This you are to take to heart, for when you are under attack it is sometimes difficult to remember this. I Am is with you, therefore you are protected on all sides, and the enemy has little chance of success in his schemes.  Only when you let your guard down will he have any chance of disrupting your lives, so stand firm in Me and My Word, for there you will find life and life abundantly.  These are practical messages that I give to you so that you stand firmly on the Rock of salvation and you step into your roles that I have defined for you.  This requires full submission to My will and My way, for your way will easily lead you on the wrong path and not what I have intended for you. My loves, I gently remind you of who you are in Me, and I show you the way forward, but many tend to forget this.  And when you forget, then the enemy finds a stronghold in your lives and disrupts the peace that I offer.  So, step out in faith and see that I Am good, for I want nothing but good for you. 

 

John 10:1-21 (ESV) “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber. 2  But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3  To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4  When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. 5  A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” 6  This figure of speech Jesus used with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them. 7  So Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8  All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9  I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. 10  The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. 11  I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12  He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. 13  He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. 14  I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, 15  just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16  And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. 17  For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. 18  No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father.” 19  There was again a division among the Jews because of these words. 20  Many of them said, “He has a demon, and is insane; why listen to him?” 21  Others said, “These are not the words of one who is oppressed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”

You Will Not Be Disappointed

The Lord is saying:  I Am here, and I Am with you.  I love you with all of My being, and I Am all knowing, all places, and all powerful.  There is nothing that I do not know, and I know everything about you, for I saw you before I created the earth and all that is in it.  I knew you at the very beginning and I will know you into eternity, so you have nothing to fear.  You will always be in Me, and I will always be in you.  This is a relationship that will endure forever.  I remind you of these things because a time of difficulty quickly comes upon the earth and you will be put to the test as the time of the end is very near now.  This is something that is not to be feared for a child of Mine, because you have Me with you continually and I will never leave you nor forsake you.  Though the world is quickly unraveling before your very eyes, and even the earth groans under the weight of sin, you are not to fear, for I Am separating good from bad, light from dark and righteousness from evil.  This stark contrast will now widen by the day until everyone will know what side a person is on so there is no confusion as to the destination between the two.  I created the lake of fire specifically for Satan and all the fallen angels and demons, which are the spirits of the hybrid entities of the Nephilim, and it is also the final destination of everyone who follows their ways instead of My Way.  As time now quickly moves to the end of this era, be encouraged, My loves, for I see, and you will not be disappointed.

 

1 Peter 4:1-19 (ESV) Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, 2  so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God. 3  For the time that is past suffices for doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry. 4  With respect to this they are surprised when you do not join them in the same flood of debauchery, and they malign you; 5  but they will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. 6  For this is why the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the spirit the way God does. 7  The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers. 8  Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. 9  Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. 10  As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: 11  whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. 12  Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13  But rejoice insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. 14  If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. 15  But let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler. 16  Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name. 17  For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? 18  And “If the righteous is scarcely saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?” 19  Therefore let those who suffer according to God's will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good.

Filled With Wonder

The Lord is saying:  I Am here, and I Am with you.  Each day is full of choices that you will make.  Some are mundane, like what will you wear or what will you eat for dinner.  But the weightier choices, these you must think about the outcomes of that choice, and this sometimes takes some time to discern which is the best path forward.  This is where you are to come to Me for direction instead of making decisions based solely on your experiences, for this is an incomplete path.  But I see all and know all and have power over all and I Am here to help you make the right choices when they present themselves.  Now, the world will quickly fill the void if you neglect this direction that I have to offer you, and the outcomes will be sporadic and not based on full knowledge, and you may find yourself in a bind.  So, My children, you have entered a time where the enemy is seeking to devour you by causing you to make the wrong decisions during your day and this will cause disruption in your lives.  In light of this, you must seek Me and My wisdom, for it is first pure and undefiled and will lead you onto the path of righteousness.  So, before you begin your day, consult Me in all these things, and I will set you on the right path and the decision you make based on this will keep you from the enemies schemes and your day will be filled with wonder. 

 

James 1:19-27 (ESV)  Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; 20  for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. 21  Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. 22  But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23  For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. 24  For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. 25  But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing. 26  If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless. 27  Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.
