“My Kingdom is not one for the self righteous, the condemner, nor the activist. My Kingdom’s door is open to the poor in spirit, the meek, and the humble regardless of their past. I am the door, My Father is the door keeper. Have I not told you so already? Submission to Me and others is the key that many are searching for and yet unable to find.”
Jesus reminds me, “Count it all joy when you are reviled for My name’s sake. Take joy in the good and joy in the bad.”
I look down at my feet, they are bare. They have the appearance of being golden translucent. I wiggle my toes. I imagine sandals on, then a beautiful pair of sandals appear on my feel. They move with my feet, not solid like here on earth. I look up, Jesus is just smiling as He enjoys watching me explore.
“Anything and everything is waiting here for you, child. But, now is the time to work and to serve. Rest comes in the morning when the new day arrives.” He leads me to my desk as a gentleman would […]
Jesus leans back and says, “I am your responsibility. People, places, worldly events, they should not deter you from Me, but instead push you to Me all the more. Man does not know what they want, else they would desire after Me. They run to and fro seeking anything else but Me.”
I think of the social media that many are running to. Jesus continues, “Entertainment, not truth. People want to be withdrawn from their lives into a world of lies and fantasy, which then becomes their heart’s desire for truth. Chasing after the wind, all that is vanity. To desire truth is to seek it out. Work for it. This country has forgotten the joy, the experience of knowing Me!”
Jesus leads […]
I see Jesus with a foot on the temple mount. “Jerusalem. Where they kill My prophets, deny My truth.” He looks at me with sadness in His eyes as He steps away from the mount. “They say they know My Father, yet they deny Me.” Jesus looks up to the throne of God the Father.
Father looks at us, shakes His head and dismisses with His right hand.
“They are rebuilding for sacrifices again as though My atoning death is not enough.” Jesus takes me to a hall, hidden from the world, as if what they are doing is in secret. I see men dressed in clean attire, according to their status or role, working. There is a man hand sewing a design […]
I watch as Father laughs with those near Him. His laughter not only resounds through me like bass during a concert, but His joy and love also encompasses my being as delight rises within.
He looks at me, “Yes, I laugh. I also laugh at the ignorance and foolishness of those who do evil. For they do know in their heart they are doing wrong, they are heading to destruction, but they choose to believe the lie they will get away with it and no payment will be required. Foolish ones! They see their sin and evil as being written down and they say to themselves, ‘No one sees, no one will know, Even God, creator of Heaven and Earth has turned […]
I look up at Father, He is bright and radiant with love beyond comprehension.
“Sustenance is what man desires, but are never satisfied. Man is designed to attend to the food and water I have to offer that never is empty. The well is deep, never ending from My throne. My food is eternal. All that man desires is here, within and from Me, yet they seek the empty pleasures and fulfillments from outside My design that always brings ruin.”
“The Kingdom of the Lord Almighty is open for everyone to enter through the open door. The door is clearly marked, with no visible lock or door knob. My door is always open, until the appointed time when I shall close the door. […]
I see myself as a little girl opening a large heavy wooden door. It is opening easily for me. Pure light fills the other side of the threshold.
I take a step in. I am filled with wonder and joy as I touch the air which feels like fabric of intense peace. Light slowly flows up my arm to spread to my head and to the rest of my body in completeness. I am standing brightly within His light. I relax and laugh as a squeal of delight flows from my spirit. I still sense the pain and aches in my physical body, but I choose to turn my focus again to the spiritual realm and trust Jesus. I take His hand […]
If you want something bad enough, you will seek it out.
If you don’t want it, you will refuse to allow it in.
For the past few months I have been on a journey regarding Joy. I have to admit, I had to break through a lot of lies I have been taught and barriers in my life during this journey. I wanted to know why does a baby laugh to tears at the simplest motion. Why do animals play? Where does our humor come from? Nutshell… where was my humor, my laughter, my joy? Then this week happened and I experienced joy during the tragedy. It is a moment that I pray I never forget. I can now say confidently, […]
Sometimes it is hard to be a follower of Christ. Especially when his teachings can be hard for us to follow. Let’s take a look at a sermon Jesus gave…
Read Mark 7:1-23
Why is this teaching hard?
What is Jesus communicating here?
Am I really accountable for my thoughts?
Is it even possible to control my thoughts?
Let me share this verse with you.
Jeremiah 17:10, “I the LORD search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.”
Read also Psalm 7:9, Jeremiah 11:20, Jeremiah 20:12,
Rev 2:23b And all the churches will know that I am he who searches mind and heart, and I will give to each of you according to your works.
How do […]
Last week we talked about comfort and our need to ask God for comfort. Let me review that a little bit and kind of break that down again.
When we are struggling with pain and suffering, all we really want is for it to stop. We ask God to take care of it. If nothing happens we start bartering with God, then we please and beg. Get mad. When nothing happens we will look for a sin issue, or try to work up our faith to make it stronger.
Then we start to get really upset, maybe at God, or the situation, others or even ourselves. This is when it can feel like we’ll never be okay again. We may feel like our […]
