Follow After My Heart!

July 3, 2009

In a vision, I saw many people throwing multi-colored rings around in the air. One of the people was dressed in religious garb. Why did You show this to me, Lord?

Stop playing around with religion. Stop dressing in order to please those who lord a certain way of life over you. Stop playing and start living, living for the One Who gave His life for you.

I want you to know that the world tries to put all kinds of obstacles in your path, trying to deter you from My will. I just want you to follow after My heart, dear one.. That is it. That is all; follow after My heart.

Don’t let the world get you off track. Don’t listen to the dos and don’ts of the world. Listen to Me. Follow after the instructions in My word. Walk to please Me. Seek to follow Me. Seek My heart. That’s it! Simple, huh? Just follow after My heart, beloved. Don’t play the world’s game. Just follow after My heart!!!

Five Early Bird Special

(Five)

July 1, 2009

The living God is calling to His beloved children and extending an invitation for you to seek Him in the morning hours. Don’t hesitate to offer a morning prayer to your Beloved on rising. Don’t hesitate to speak tender words of love to Me. My ear is attuned to your voice, your words. Oh, yes, My ear is attuned to you!!!

Early Bird Special

(Four)

June 7, 2009

I want to relate some important points to those of you who desire to know Me better. First I will tell you that this desire thrills My heart.

I want you to know that those who seek Me will find Me. Why do I make it so easy? I make it easy, beloved, because I love you and desire to spend time with you.

So take these words into your heart, knowing that your Almighty God, the God Who created the universe, desires fellowship with you, beloved, fellowship anytime you see fit to honor Me with your sweet presence.

I am your eternal God and King Who delights in you. Won’t you take delight in the One Who created you to fellowship with Him? Yes, won’t you delight in offering to Me the pleasure of your company?

The Buddha

June 28, 2009

The Lord showed me an empty, brown, easy chair. There was a table beside it. The base of the table was a Buddha and the top was an oval piece of glass. A lamp was on the table and it all looked quite homey. Why did You show this to me, Lord?

I want you so see something clearly, beloved. Things are not the way they seem. The world paints an altogether different picture from the one your beloved God is painting, altogether different. I want you to see the rich quality of My work and never doubt that I have your best interest at heart, while the world wants to lull you to sleep, lull you into a place where you will not recognize My will for you. Don’t be fooled. Don’t be lulled into this place of the world. It has nothing of eternal value to offer, nothing at all.

So I declare to you this day, My highly esteemed saints. I have your best interest at heart. I want to see you free of the enemy and his tactics. I want you walking in the wonders of My grace. I don’t want you sitting on the sidelines, oblivious to My will for you. I want you front row and center, fully alert, receiving instructions from the One Who is on high.

I am your God. The enemy is just who his name implies, your enemy. Don’t let him lull you to sleep. Don’t let him lull you into stupor. He does not have your best interest at heart. He means to harm you. Yes, dear one. He has a few tricks up his sleeve. I am well aware of that fact, and I want you to be well aware too. Yes. I want you well aware of the fact that the enemy means to harm you, lulling you into a stupor, but I want to awaken you to My truth in a profound way. Yes! I want to awaken you to My truth in a way that will inspire you, inspire you to move forward, move forward into the destiny of one who follows hard after the heart of the One Who is love, the Beloved, your God, your Lord, your Jesus!!!

Fool’s For Christ’s Sake

June 26, 2009

1 Corinthians 4:10 We are fools for Christ’s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honorable, but we are despised.

Are you a fool in the eyes of the world for My sake? Do you walk in a place of ridicule for My sake? If you do, I want you to know, beloved, that you are not alone. I walked in that place of ridicule for My Father’s sake. I walked knowing that mankind was ignorant of the truth about Me. Mankind is ignorant of the truth about My followers also.

Do not despair. Know that I am with you. I take pride, much pride, in each of My chosen. Walk with your head held high, knowing that those who seek the heart of the Beloved are free of the enemy’s vileness, and though the world does not receive you, I receive you. Yes, you are accepted into the heart of the Beloved, and there is no better place to be, no better place to rest.

So when those in the world ridicule you and call you a fool for the sake of your God, know that I hear every word that is being spoken. I see your heart and know your intent to follow My course no matter what is uttered about you. Know that I delight in you and that I am preparing a wonderful place for you in your heavenly home, a place where no ridicule will reach your ears. Only songs of grace will be in your hearing, and sweet contentment will be in your heart, in your heart forever and ever!!!

Something With a New Twist

June 25, 2009

In a vision, I saw that someone had made some hamburger patties. Next to the patties I saw flour, which contained a red spice, paprika. I knew that the patties were going to be coated in that mixture and then fried. Why did you show that to me, Lord?

I want you to know that I am concocting something for you. It is a different dish from what you would expect. It will have a new twist to it. I believe that you will enjoy it. I believe that it will give you strength to face your tomorrows.

So after I prepare it, I want you to taste it and tell Me how much you are enjoying it. Don’t hesitate to sample this new concoction, beloved, because it will give you a new strength and power like nothing you have ever experienced.

I am preparing something quite unique for My beloved. It may look similar to something that has come your way before, but know this: It will have a new twist to it, a delicious new twist. So do not hesitate to dive right in when it is served and enjoy it. Yes! I want you to enjoy it, enjoy it to the fullest and receive all that I have promised you to walk in your future with a power and strength that will be delivered by Me, by My mighty hand!!!

Motives of the Heart

June 24, 2009

1 Corinthians 4:5 Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men’s hearts; and then each man’s praise will come to him from God.

I want you to know that I am fully aware of the motives within your heart. I even know your reasoning. I hear you arguing within your own heart about your actions. I hear you speaking truth one moment and untruth the next. Yes, beloved, I do know your motives.

Does that make Me love you any less? No, it does not. Does it make Me want to turn My back on you, and look in another direction? No. My eyes are fixed on you, beloved. Never doubt that! So then what kind of response does it bring from your God? It brings the deep desire to see you free and walking in My truth. It stirs something up in My heart that enables Me to reach forth and enable you to know My truth and give you the power to turn away from wrong motives.

So do not despair, beloved. I am at work in your heart. I know your motives behind your actions. I hear the anguish in your voice when you realize what you have done and speak words of regret. I know the reason why you do the things that you should not do and I know the reason behind your anguish. I always respond to your anguish. I always have a desire deep within to pick you up, dust you off, and set your feet in the right direction. Never doubt that. Never doubt that I am ALWAYS willing to set you in the right direction, guilt free. Remember these words. Accept them as My truth, and know true freedom, the freedom that walking in My truth always brings to a repentant heart!!!

The Growth

June 23, 2009

1 Corinthians 3:6-8 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

I want you to know, beloved, that we are in a team effort. I use you in mighty ways to show forth My goodness as you speak My words and do My deeds. I want you to know that the words of life that you speak become embedded in a heart, giving that one a power and strength that he otherwise would not possess. I bring about growth from these words of truth. I bring about growth in that heart that receives My truth and puts it into action. Never doubt that I am at work in your heart. Never doubt that I am bringing about My will for you in a wonderful way. I do all things well, and it is the desire of My heart to see you grow, grow in the power and strength of your God.

So follow the path that I provide. Hear My words of truth and act upon them. Walk according to My directives, and know, dear heart, that I am causing a richness within your heart, a richness that is causing you to grow in the power and strength of your Almighty God, your Savior, your Jesus!!!

The Fragrance of Jesus

June 22, 2009

My fragrance is invigorating and most satisfying to a heart. It leads you into My will with a willing heart, a heart to serve.

Smell the fragrance. Let it fulfill within you the deepest desires of your heart; it is able to do so.

I am a God Who finds His beloved delightful. I find being in your company most satisfying. I want you to know this truth and take it into your heart. I tell you truly that those who spend time with Me receive a bountiful offering of My fragrance, and this, beloved, is something that money cannot buy.

Smell My most satisfying fragrance. Be invigorated by it and know true joy, the true joy that comes with being in My presence and receiving this offering of My love, My most satisfying love.

A Shipment of Ripe Tomatoes

June 20, 2009

In a vision, I saw a shipment of ripe tomatoes, packed in white boxes and stacked against a wall in a cabin. Why did You show this to me, Lord?

I want you to know that I provide well for My beloved children. There is nothing that you need that I will not provide. I give liberally. I give when the time is right. I am never too late or too early with My provisions for My dear children.

Now the enemy would have you to believe differently. He would have you doubting Me and My ability to see to your needs. He would have you worrying and exclaiming in whining tones about your needs being met. But I want you to know that I work in a timely fashion and I give liberally, so never doubt Me, dear one. Never doubt Me.

A new hour is dawning, a new hour when you will see the hand of your God move in extraordinary ways. You will see Me manifest Myself in untold ways, in ways that you never dreamed possible. You will know that I am at work in your midst and you will applaud Me. When this occurs, I want you to be certain of this fact: All that is coming forth by My hand is coming according to My will and according to My perfect time. As everything that is presented, know that there is plenty more from where that comes. Yes, beloved, My storehouse is full, overflowing with all that you need in this life to conquer the enemy. There is nothing that he can send your way for which I don’t have the supplies to defeat. Realize this. Know that My storehouse holds plenty, the supplies are bountiful and they will be sent your way at the exact hour of your need. You will see that everything that I send is fresh and is of grade A quality. I guarantee that it is positively the finest quality and freshest. It will combat the enemy and fortify you, My beloved, for the days ahead.

This is My word to you: I have a storehouse that is filled with all you need for your future. Things look bright for you. I will supply your needs, giving you the finest and freshest grade A quality, to accomplish all that comes you way. You may count on Me for this. Yes! You may rely on Me to supply you with all that you need now and throughout your entire future with Me!!!

More Than You Expected or Dreamed

June 18, 2009

Dear child of the living God, I want you to know that I, Jesus, as your Lord and Savior, am all things to you. I am working in your heart. I am bringing about My best for you. The world understands Me not, but those who are born of Me, know that the One True God is doing a fine work of fulfilling all that He has promised. Look forward to seeing the glorious outcome of My will in your life. Look forward to prospering in the wonder of My truth, for I tell you truly, all goodness is possessed in My heart and I, by the power of My Spirit dwelling in you, am doing a fine work of bringing forth that longed-for sanctification. I have saved and delivered you, given to you My righteousness and wisdom and I am bringing forth a work of sanctification in every heart that will enliven and satisfy.

You know not My methods, but they are sure and true. You know not the outcome from where you are sitting, but you are confident that My work will enhance those who follow Me and provide a most satisfying occasion of deliverance and prosperity.

So fear not what tomorrow will bring. I, your Lord and Savior sent My Spirit to you, My chosen. I dwell mightily in your heart and I am bringing forth all that I promised. The outcome will be more, much more, than you ever expected or even dreamed!!!

The Pleasures of This Life

June 17, 2009

I want to talk to you about the pleasures of this life. They are temporal. They are not eternal. They offer only momentary gratification. Remember this, beloved. Remember these words when the world is wooing you in a direction other than the one that I am providing. The pleasures of this world do not offer anything lasting, only a momentary satisfaction that fades fast.

I regard each of My children as special. I regard you as valuable, valuable to My kingdom and very valuable to Me, because I love you. So know this: When you are being wooed in any direction other than the one that I am offering, you will receive nothing that you can take to your heavenly home. But when you walk in My direction, intent on following My course, you will store treasure of an outstanding quality that will be much to your liking. You will know that you have received the genuine article while on earth, and you will be pleased, greatly satisfied, with the offering of pleasure that this choice has made, greatly satisfied!

Empty Bubbles

June 16, 2009

The world offers empty bubbles to any who will receive them. They look good. They look interesting as they float your way, but they are worthless, absolutely worthless. I want you to bear these words in mind when those empty bubbles float your way. They are of no value and they have no significance.

Empty bubbles have been traps of the enemy for a very long time. Many have even chased them. Many have caught a few only to have them pop, leaving, you guessed it, nothing. Don’t chase those empty bubbles. Don’t give them your time or attention. They may look good, even interesting, but they contain nothing of any value. In fact they are not even worth the air that was used to blow them your way. They are worthless, absolutely worthless.

A Paradigm

June 15, 2009

paradigm – example, model, archetype, pattern, exemplar, prototype

A paradigm is coming your way, beloved, a paradigm like no other. I am about to show My will break forth in your life, offering to you a prime example of your God at work in your life and in the world.

So I tell you, beloved, get ready, get ready for the most extraordinary, and when it shines forth, when it breaks forth in vast array, your Beloved God and Creator will have opened a new era, a new time in the history of mankind, when His will shall shine forth, revealing the most spectacular to all who love and revere Him. This is a paradigm, beloved, of just how much your God cares for you and desires to see His will manifest in your life, manifest in a way that will astound and thrill, astound and thrill, beloved, astound and thrill!!!

True Happiness

June 14, 2009

How does one find true happiness? How does one walk in his tomorrows with his head held high, expecting each new day to be brighter than yesterday? It is quite simple: He regards the Holy One and His truth above all else. Yes. He regards the Holy One first and holds His words of truth as a valuable source of getting to know the Holy One better and better. That, beloved, is the way to find true happiness!!!

Early Bird Special

(Three)

June 10, 2009

I am speaking a series of words to you, beloved, in order for you to know the rich quality of My grace and My love toward you. I delight in you. I delight in having you draw near to Me. I delight in knowing that you are setting your sights on Me, drawing near to Me at first light, the first thing in your morning. Do not hesitate in coming to Me and receiving what I have for you. Do not hesitate to cash in on the benefits that drawing near to Me brings.

I am eager for My dear ones to get to know Me better. I am eager for you to start your day fresh. Remember: My mercies are new every morning. Isn’t that a refreshing thought? Isn’t it refreshing to know that something wonderful awaits those who seek the face of their beloved God and King in the morning hours? I know that you know it may be a difficult thing to release yourself from the warmth of your bed and come to Me in earnest, but I want you to know, dear one, that benefits await those who gladly give up that special comfort and draw near to Me. That is what I am asking in this day; early morning risers, who will seek the face of the Beloved. There is much work to be done and I have found that this is a most beneficial hour to do it. So take Me up on My offer. Know that I know what is best for you and for My kingdom. So draw near in the early morning hours. Let Me stoke the fire that is in your heart, and know true heart peace throughout your day. Keep that line of communication open. It will benefit you throughout your day. It will benefit you throughout your life!!!

Early Bird Special

(Two)

June 9, 2009

I want to tell you more about the wonders of My grace. I want all of My children to know that I delight in hearing their voices, and those who draw near to Me will know a certain exuberance deep within their hearts. Those who draw near early, seeking My face, will benefit in untold ways. Did I not say that if you draw near to Me, I will draw near to you? I said it and I meant it.

Why would I want you to draw near to Me? I want you near so that I can do that fine work in your heart. I want you near so that you can know Me and the wonders of My grace that I so freely give. I would not call you near for any reason other than to bless you. Bear this in mind. Yes, bear this in mind when I beckon you to draw near to Me, near to Me at first light.

The Early Bird Special

(One)

June 8, 2009

Those of you who arise early with a yearning to serve Me and follow My course, will receive what I like to call the “early bird special.” Let Me explain: I am a God Who delights in your company. I love the sound of your voice. I love a heart turned toward Me. It thrills Me to see your heart turned toward Me, yearning for My companionship. When you seek Me, when you come into My presence, your Spirit is consumed with burning fire, the burning fire that pronounces on your innermost being My burning love. That love conquers all. That love burns so brightly that nothing can extinguish it. That burning lasts, and lasts, and lasts, and every moment spent in My presence heaps more fiery coals on that fire, more burning coals that brighten your tomorrows in Me.

I am a God Who delights in His beloved’s presence. I delight in seeing your bright, shining face turned toward me. I delight in hearing the sound of your voice, speaking words of love and praise to Me. I delight in knowing that you, My beloved, are seeking Me first, the first thing every morning.

So know this: Your God has an early bird special for those of you who seek Me in the morning light and it is this: a deep burning within that shines throughout your day and into the next morning. Replenish those burning coals every morning and know the true work of your God.

Yes, I have something for My early birds, a good burning within, a good fiery burning that will see you throughout your day, but know this: I delight in hearing your voice throughout your day. I delight in hearing you speak to Me throughout your whole day. So do not fail to draw near and know a rekindling of that internal flame that I have placed in you. Do not delay. I am waiting. I am eagerly waiting for you!!!

Caramel Twists

June 6, 2009

The Lord showed me a taffy-making machine. It was making a taffy that He called caramel twists. Here is what He has to say about this taffy.

I, the Lord God Almighty am calling to My beloved children to come and taste My taffy. It is caramel flavored. It is unusually chewy and soft. It is delicious. How do I know that it is delicious? I made it! I wanted it to be delicious for My dear children.

Here is why I made it: I made it for you to enjoy. I made it for you to chew and receive the everlasting words of My truth deep within your heart. I made it to advance you, advance you into a world of wonder that I have prepared for My own.

I will be passing it out soon. Get ready to receive. Get ready to chew. Get ready to enjoy!!!

Wage Earner

June 5, 2009

I have a word that I would like to speak to the wage earners. I want you to know that I see your work. I see your hard labor. There is nothing that you do that escapes My notice. I know the accolades that you receive and I know about the criticisms that come your way. I want you to know, dear heart, that no matter what is said about you, whether it is words of praise or words of criticism, your God looks on your heart. I look on your heart with eyes of love. I see your intent in every situation. Nothing escapes My notice. I know the ins and outs of every situation and it is to My delight that I speak to you these words of encouragement:

I, the living God, see all that occurs in your life in the work place. I see injustices and I see occasions when you are praised. I want you to know that no matter what is occurring in your life, My heart is turned toward you. My love is directed toward you. It never wavers. So, dear heart, do not be downhearted. Know that I love you. My love is constant and no matter what man says, as long as you work diligently, giving man good service for your wages, your God is with you, supporting you.

I am intent on bringing you into a new place with Me. The enemy wants you stagnant. He wants you wrapped up in what man says about you. I want you wrapped up in My word and what I say about you. What do I say? I say you are loved. I say you are blessed, and I say that one who seeks the heart of the Beloved will never be disappointed, not in any form or fashion. So do your work according to the will of your Father. Give man a good day’s work for your earned wages. Don’t be slack. Don’t give up on doing what you know is right. I am with you, strengthening you, and it delights Me to see you working in earnest, according to My will, for your wages. But keep this in mind: When you are working diligently in the workplace, giving man a good days work for your wages, it matters not what man says. What matters is what I say! And what I say is that one who serves Me, whether he is at work, home, or play, is seeking after the heart of the Beloved and will be blessed, blessed far beyond man’s accolades!!!

Eternal Life

June 4, 2009

1 John 2:25 And this is the promise that He hath promised us, even eternal life.

I have given eternal life to those who have called out to Me, looking to Me to deliver and save them from the wrath of the enemy. Eternal life is a wonderful gift to receive. It far exceeds anything the enemy could send your way in this life. All of his reasoning is distorted, unattractive to say the least.

I want you to know that eternal life awaits all who will call out My name, putting their whole heart into My hands in total trust, looking to Me as their sole deliverer. I delight in presenting this gift. I delight in the knowledge that I will have you in My heavenly abode with Me forever. You have a small idea of what this means, dear one, only a very small idea. When you see what I have in store for you, you will be startled and amazed that you ever hesitated in saying “I do” to Me. You will be downright amazed at what your future in Me, your eternal life, will bring.

You are My beloved child. I am delighted with you and you are going to be delighted with what I have in store for you. Oh, yes! You are going to be thrilled at what I have in store for you, My beloved, My own!!!

Another Puzzle Piece

June 2, 2009

In a vision, I saw someone insert another piece of a jigsaw puzzle in a very purposeful way. It was the left, lower corner piece.

I am inserting another piece to the puzzle, dear one. You will see clearly when I insert it that I certainly do know what I am doing. You will see that everything is falling into place. Yes, My puzzle is taking on a certain quality that will enable you to see the BIG picture.

I am inserting another piece into the puzzle that I have created in your midst. You will certainly see that I know what I am doing. You will be thrilled with My progress and understand some things about My plans that you never realized. Oh, yes! The picture that I am in the process of presenting will take on a new look, enabling you to see a little more clearly the intent of your Beloved, the kind intent of your beloved God!!!

Filet Mignon

June 1, 2009

In a vision, I saw half a filet mignon on a plate. It was in a pool of gravy. Someone was taking a fork and applying more gravy to the top of the meat in little patting movements. I could see that the center was pink. Why did you show this to me, Lord?

I want to explain something to My beloved children. I want you to know that I have prepared a fine repast for you. I have left nothing undone in My preparations. I want you to see clearly what your God has in store for you and recognize it as coming from My hand. I will not shortchange you. You will receive a full portion. There will be nothing that I put on your plate that will not satisfy you.

So look forward to the coming hour in the hope that you have in Me and in My ability to perform on your behalf. Know that I do all things well. My expertise lacks nothing. I am a loving God with the full intent to show My beloved the wonders of My grace. I want you to enjoy the coming hour. I want you to know that I delight in preparing all for you and it shall come forth in My timing. My timing is expert.

I am a very thorough God. I leave no stone unturned in My preparations for My children. I do all with an expert hand. Don’t let the world tell you differently. Don’t let the world encourage you to view Me in any way other than the way that I am. I am giving. I give liberally and I am pleased to bless you, bless you soundly.

I am entitling you to enter a new hour of wonder. I have your best interest at heart and it is My desire for you to enjoy the coming hour, enjoy it to the fullest!!!
