I Am Still on My Throne!

February 8, 2010

Do not despair, My beloved. I am still on My throne. I am comfortable on My throne.
I am not sitting on the edge of My seat. I am completely relaxed, very comfortable indeed!

I don’t want you on the edge of your seat, wringing your hands about what tomorrow will bring.
I want you trusting Me, confident that I can and will bring about My will in your life.

Peace. Be still. Know that I am at work. I do all things well. Do not despair, little flock.
I am still on My throne. I am sitting, relaxed upon My throne at this very moment, and there is nothing taking place on
earth that has unnerved Me. No! Not for a moment has anything that is taking place on earth unnerved your God!!!

unnerved – frightened, scared, anxious, nervy panicky, disheartened, dispirited, discouraged, deflated, depressed

Refuge

February 3, 2010

refuge – safe haven, sanctuary, shelter, protection, place of safety

I am your refuge, beloved. I am that One to seek during times of strife. I am that One to Whom you can come
and rest your weary head. Never doubt that this place has always
been made available to you. Never doubt My love for you. It is constant.
It is the place of quiet wonder where your God dwells and invites you to join Him.

I am your refuge. I take delight in having you near to Me. Do not stray.
Do not wander off into the world looking for Me.
I am only a whisper away from you, only a gentle whisper

February 2, 2010

way - means, mode, route, road

It leads directly into the Father’s open arms of love. I am the way, the one true way. Come along with Me, beloved.
I will not steer you wrong. I will envelop you in My love and provide all that you need in your future, your future with your beloved King, your future with Me for all eternity! I am the WAY!!!

I am your foundation. My words of truth tell to you the old, old story of My great love for you, a love so great that I gave My life for you.

I want you to know that the foundation of this truth is firm. It cannot be shaken, ever. Come to Me and rest in this beautiful truth.

Rest in the truth that the God that you love and serve has given to you a firm foundation, a foundation that cannot ever be shaken!

Yes, beloved, My truth lives forever and it is there to stabilize you in your walk all the days of your life. It can never be shaken; it will last forever!!!

January 28, 2010

In a vision, I saw someone take the lid off a big box.   Then I heard the Lord say, “There is a BIG surprise inside.”

I have a BIG surprise for you, beloved. I am taking the lid off right now! You will like this surprise.
You will be astonished when you see this surprise.
So know this: Something BIG is coming your way. It is coming your way as I speak, and when it arrives,
you will say “My Lord told me to expect this wonderful surprise and it surpasses anything I could ever dream!"
Look forward to the wonder of this hour shining forth and know that it is coming by my hand, My hand to your heart, beloved,
My hand to your precious heart.

The Light of the World

January 27, 2010

I am the Light of the world. I shine brightly in any heart that will receive Me.
I offer hope in this light, and great peace.

Come closer to Me and receive the wondrous light of My presence.

Motion and Meshing

January 25, 2010

I’ve set all in motion. The gears of My plan are meshing nicely. All is turning according to My plan, according to the speed that I have set.
I want you to know that your God and King has set His plan in motion. All is running smoothly.
By the power of My Spirit the gears are meshing nicely. There shall be no snags, no hitches.
There shall be no breaking down of the magnificent apparatus that I have
devised to bring forth this glorious hour. Get ready to view this glorious happening, and
know that you shall take your place, and you shall move in sync, according to the will of the living God.

Take your places. Listen; I am fine-tuning your ears. You will hear My voice clearly. Follow My lead.
Know full expression of the glory of the living God, as My will shines forth. This is the hour for the wonder
of the living God to shine forth, offering hope, hope for all those who have
declared their allegiance to the Holy One Who brings the greatest that could ever be
offered, the wonder and power of My glory, My most outstanding presence???

I want you to do Me a favor. Will you? Will you earnestly seek My will? Will you thank Me NOW for all that I am doing in your life? I am asking you
these questions for a very specific reason. I want to use you in mighty ways. I want you walking in the
light of My glory in a way you have YET to experience. I am eager to see you glow with the wonder of My grace as it permeates your being.
But in order for Me to do this, you must cease from your endless thoughts and words about not being able to measure up to My standard.
You must rely on Me to perform through you, as My will shines forth and your destiny is fulfilled.

Will you do Me a favor, beloved? Will you relax, resting in Me, assured of My love and My great power, which is more than able to perform on your behalf?
I am eager for the coming hour. I am eager to see you standing straight and tall as you enter into the glory that is My provision, My presence in a most pronounced fashion.

You have no idea of all that is in store for one who is submitted to My will, no idea at all. You think you have a semblance of an idea, but you don’t, dear one.
Oh, no, you don’t. I have kept it a mystery, but soon it will no longer be a mystery for it will unfold before your very eyes.
Yes, that mystery of abounding glory is going to be made known to My beloved children,
and when it does, it will no longer be Me asking you to do Me a favor. No! You, dear one, will be seeking to do Me
a favor, for you will have stepped into the realization of your God’s tremendous grace toward mankind, and toward those
who serve Him with an unflinching heart!!!

I Want to Live Through You

January 21, 2010

I want to live through you, My beloved. I want My light to shine through you that others may
see and know Me, know Me in My fullness.

Do not despair. Trust Me to shine forth the wonders of My grace through you. You are willing; I am willing.
What more do we need? What more can you do? Trust Me.
Rest in Me and see the wonders of your Christ shine forth from your being, showing others My goodness toward mankind, toward ALL mankind, no exceptions, no exclusions, ALL mankind!!!

I am calling you to come into a wonderful rest with Me. I want you depending on Me. I want you resting in the knowledge of Who I am, and the wonderful truth that I am able to lead you through all circumstances by the light of My loving presence.
I don’t want any of My dear children wringing their hands in anguish. I want you resting, at peace, in the bosom* of My love.

Why am I calling you into this place of wonderful rest? It is a place where you will be fortified deep within for the coming hour. I want to refresh you. I prepared this place for you. I
desire for you to take advantage of My loving preparation and rest, rest in the peace that I provide for My own.

I am calling My dear children to draw nearer to My heart. Learn of Me. I am a peaceful, loving God. I have much to offer, much to give. Do not hesitate to receive. Do not hesitate to take advantage of My offering.
It will be good for you. It will bring much peace to your heart and it will fortify you deep within for the times that lie ahead.

*bosom – protective place, a familiar source of protection, security, or affection

You are My light bearers. You are very valuable to Me. I fill you with the light of My glory that others may be drawn to that light. I give you the strength and power to walk in My truth.
You are My precious light bearers, and I take delight in you.

The hour is upon you when you will shine forth in a manner like never before. You will shine so brightly that many will be drawn into My fold just by the reflection and wonder of the light that is emanating from you.
This will be a glorious time for My kingdom. It will expand greatly during this time, and you will see the hand of your God sweep across your region in a fashion that will thrill and intoxicate.

So, My dear light bearers, shine forth for your Beloved. Shine forth and let the essence of your God shine forth from your being. For this will be an hour of unprecedented wonder.
Yes, this will be an hour of the light of your God lighting the way for many to come into the bountiful region of My love!!!

I want to give you a glimpse into eternity. I want you to see what lies beyond for you, and recognize the hand of your God moving you in that direction.

I am your eternal God. I have many wondrous plans for those who follow Me, many plans that will satisfy you deep within. Look forward to spending eternity in My presence. Look forward to knowing the One True God forever.

It is an exciting time in the history of man, a crucial time. Those who follow after My heart are headed for eternity with Me. Eternity is a place where My never-ending love will enrapture you. It is a place where you will walk in the confidence of who you are in Me with absolutely no qualms. You will be certain of Who I am and My love for you. You will grow in that place and blossom forth in great beauty.

Forever you will sing My praises for what I have done for you. Forever will you stand in My presence and know without a doubt that you are loved far beyond man’s knowledge can comprehend. Forever you will know with a certainty that serving Me paid off in full. Sweet contentment will pervade your very soul. Yes, sweet contentment will be had for those who choose to serve Me, following Me through this life, and into eternity.

Much awaits you, My beloved. Much awaits you that can only be characterized as lovely to look at, lovely to sense, lovely beyond words. I have created a place for you to dwell. It is not riddled with sin as is this fallen world, but it is permeated with My presence, My sinless presence.

Look forward to dwelling with Me forever. Look forward to walking in the peace that your surrender to Me provides, and know without a doubt that when you chose to follow My course, you shoes to spend eternity with the One Who is holy and true. That was the best decision you ever made.

It cost Me dearly to surrender My life for you, dearly. But know this; I am glad I did it. I have never regretted it, and as time draws to a close, I get more and more excited about drawing My beloved into My arms of glory forever.

Yes, you have tasted My glory, but you have had but a taste. There is more to come, more and more and more. I am excited to tell you that I have made provisions for you to experience My glory in a profound sense while you are still earthbound. But bear this in mine, during this glory-filled season: Your God is moving you into a strategic place, a place of great wonder, a place where My will is to be accomplished in a way that will surprise and delight. In this place of My glory-filled presence, you will get a taste of eternity with Me; you will get a taste of the wonder that belonging to Me forever will bring. When this occurs, ponder these things that I have told you in your heart. Ponder them. Treasure them, for in these truths you will know with a certainty that you have but touched the surface of My offerings, you have but touched the surface of My great love for you!!!

I want to be your heart’s desire, beloved. I want you to want Me and My will first and foremost. The world is constantly trying to woo you away from Me. Pay no attention to the world. Don’t let the world confuse you with its so-called wisdom and “pearls of truth.” I am Wisdom. I am Truth.

Hear Me. Know that I take delight in a heart that longs for Me. I want to be your heart’s desire. I want nothing to come before Me. I want you locked in My embrace, gazing on My face, and feeling the wonder of My presence. Don’t look the other way. Look at Me. I want to be the center of your existence. Believe Me when I tell you that no one and nothing will ever be able to satisfy that longing that is in your heart. I want to fill that longing. I want to be your heart’s desire, My darling, My own. Let
Me be your heart’s desire!!!

Won’t you be a soldier of My cross? Won’t you march in step with Me and do My bidding? I have plans for My chosen, plans to bless, plans to lead you into eternity fully equipped with My presence.

I am the Captain of your salvation. I lead the way into all that is pure, good, and true. Follow My course. Do not hesitate for a moment, for My way is the best way. It leads you to your eternal salvation.

Be My soldier. Receive your marching orders from Me. Follow My course. I will lead you into that place of divine hope for which your heart longs. Do not hesitate to follow Me. Do not hesitate to listen to My instructions. They lead to success, profound success, the success in this life for which every heart yearns, every heart hopes.

I am the Captain of your salvation. Won’t you follow My course? Won’t you be a soldier of My cross?

Belief

belief – faith, conviction, principle, confidence

January 14, 2010

I want to talk to you, beloved, about belief. I want you to believe Me, believe My word. I want you to enfold it in your mind. Rely on it. Never fail in searching out truth in My written word. It will fortify you, strengthening you in ways you never dreamed. I want My beloved children to believe Me. I want you to follow My path, embracing My will for you. I tell you this truth: One who follows My words of truth, moves with great speed into the realm of wonder that I have for them. Rely on My words of truth to deliver you there, beloved, deliver you there posthaste!!!

White Kid Gloves

January 13, 2010

In a vision, I saw two busy hands, wearing white kid gloves. Then I heard the Lord say:

I handle the hearts of My dear children with white kid gloves. Those hearts are very important to Me. I don’t want them bruised. I want them healed and vibrant.

So know this: You serve a God Who delights in His chosen. I handle hearts tenderly. I would never bruise a heart or harm it in any way. I always handle My beloved’s heart with care, with much tenderness.

Presently I am doing a work in hearts. I am getting hearts ready for the BIG day, the BIG day when I will show forth My glory in a mighty way. Yes, I am getting hearts ready for that day. There may be seasons when you will feel a little uncomfortable in the area of your heart, but know that feeling is only temporary. I am doing something in your heart, but be aware that I am handling it tenderly, most tenderly, with My white kid gloves, and when I finish you will be ready for that hour of wonder, that hour of wonder that I have prepared for those who seek after Me and delight in doing My will!!!

Are you available, beloved, to walk the path that I have selected for your feet? Are you available to be My mouthpiece, and speak My words of life to those who will listen? Are you available to let Me love others through you? Will you extend your hand, your embrace, your love to others? I am hoping that you will say “yes” to Me. I am hoping that you won’t let the world snag you, holding you in its evil grasp.

I am your God of love. My love knows no boundaries. It extends to one and all. I want you to be My vessel and let it extend through you. I want you to speak My words to others, telling them about My wonderful love. I don’t want you to keep silent; I want you to SHOUT My truth from the rooftops. You will find in doing this that you will be strengthened within and you will know truths with a certainty you never dreamed possible.

I am the God of love, profound love. Be My Bessel. Don’t let the world sidetrack you. Make yourself available, available to Me, and know with a certainty what it means to be used by the living God, the God of love Who delights in His own, and looks forward to that hour when you will walk in that assurance without a single falter, without a single doubt!

Make yourself available to your almighty God. You won’t regret putting yourself at My disposal. No, not for a moment will you regret it, not for a single moment!!!

I am calling to you. Come, attend My great, last day awakening. I want you to see firsthand the move of the Almighty God. I want you to know without a doubt the fine work that your God has prepared for those who serve Him.

I am calling whomsoever will come to participate in the great, last day awakening. It will take place in your vicinity. You will be awestruck at what is occurring. You will stand straight and tall in the midst of wonders never before seen by man.

Take your place. Receive your anointing. The hour is upon you. The hour is surely upon you, and you will step into this drama equipped by your God, supported by His love, and sure in your heart of this one great fact: Your God lives mighty in your heart and reigns eternally in the whole universe. Isn’t that the sweetest knowledge you could receive, beloved? Isn’t it the absolute sweetest???

A deeper revelation of My love is on the way to My children. Don’t be surprised when it overtakes you. Don’t be surprised at it intensity. It will enthrall you, beloved, completely enthrall you.

I tell you truly, I have designs on your heart; I have wonderful plans for your future. The world tries to get in the way of My plans, but the world will fail. I will remain the Victor, the Victor in all circumstances.

I am your God. You have a delightful future in Me. Don’t be surprised at My wonderful blessings as they overtake you, dear one. Just know, just bear in mind, that you serve a loving God, a loving God Who wants to reveal Himself by giving you a deeper, much deeper, revelation of His love, His wonderful love for you!!!

Control

January 9, 2010

control – manage, be in charge of, run, have power over, be in command of

The enemy wants to control you. I want to bless you. He wants to take everything away from you. He wants you to suffer. I want you to have happy hearts, contented hearts.

Don’t give way to his voice. Don’t listen to his instructions. He wants to control you. He wants to send you reeling, wandering aimlessly.

I want to give you the best, My best. There is nothing finer than the blessing of the Lord God Almighty. Bear this in mind, beloved. Bear this truth in mind: The enemy wants to control you. He offers no benefits, none at all. But your God wants to bless you, and how does He bless you? He blesses you when you walk in obedience to His will for you. That is the way, the best way that you can travel through this life. That is the only way that brings heart peace – the only way!!!
