FROM LOST TO FOUND
February 18, 2025
Our walk at times, seems to be a recurrence of what has already happened.
Our Salvation is a walk of putting down the evil one’s lies and embracing The Truth flowing forth from our King.
As we walk, we run into days when we feel that we are not overcoming.
Even King David had those days, when he had to catch himself and encourage himself in The LORD!
My sweet Jesus, my heart cries out to You, my King!
My love swells up in my soul to reach out to You with all that I have, all my strength, for You are my peace and my joy, My God, My Redeemer.
I cry out to You for peace peace that Your shalom would engulf me, that would cover over me with Your strength.
You are my life’s sustenance. There is no one like You, who could love me like You do, but still I run like a sheep that has no shepherd, running aimlessly listening to the stranger who taunts me continuously.
Set me free from that strange man, for You are my Redeemer. You bought me with the price of Your own blood. You paid the ransom for my soul. I belong to You.
I run after You freely like a lamb set free, that has hope to run with all my needs met.
I am guided. I am protected. I am loved. I am Yours, My God and my Redeemer.
All your promises are yes and Amen for me.
All my sins forgiven and all diseases are healed through Your love, through Your blood. Amen!
QUIET MEDITATIONS UPON JESUS
March 21, 2025
“Examine your heart! What is the most important aspect of your life right now?
Is it your health?
Is it a relationship?
Is it your walk with Me?
I AM calling you to examine the priorities in your life.
Tell me the Truth…. what is the most important thing in your life. Is it Me?
I AM calling you to have a deep and loving relationship with Me where you can lay your head upon My breast and rest and listen to My heart beating for you… for you alone I would have died.
I want to walk with you, talk with you, live My Life through you if only you would be still, come to Me, and listen.
I have much to share with you about your life and how you are to live it.
Examine your heart! What is most important to you?
Is it Me?
I want it to be! I want to be that secret place that you can come into and abide…that refuge from the storm.
I want you to grow strong in Me and truly come into that place of maturity where you can take your stand against the enemy.
Every day you have that decision to make.
Will you come to Me, or will you go off on your own?
In The Secret Place of the Most High, there is grace and peace where you can rest and be built up, refreshed, revived, and ready to go.
Examine your heart!
Are you resting or are you striving?
Are you living or just surviving?
Are you battle weary from trying to make it on your own?
Cast all your cares upon Me for I want to care for you if you would let Me. I can do nothing unless you yield it all to Me.
If you seek Me, you will find Me if you seek Me with all your heart.
Walk with Me in the cool of the day. I have that special place for you to come be with Me.
Be at peace for I have everything under My Control where it will all work together for your good.
Be still and know Me for I AM your God.
Rest in Me for I AM the way in the wilderness.
I AM your sunrise and sunset.
I AM the sweet breeze in the countryside.
I AM the salt spray at the beach.
I AM the warmth of the sun upon your shoulders.
I AM all that you want Me to be.
I AM with you always.
I AM life.”
BY JESUS' STRIPES
March 22, 2025
Praise the Lord! I’ve been studying God’s word on healing. Faith comes by hearing the Word taught correctly and believing it!!!
Isa 54:4 - 5
Surely our griefs He Himself bore and our sorrows He carried, Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastening for our peace fell upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.
When you look this scripture up in the Strongs, the original Hebrew says that griefs are sickness, disease, weakness or distress. Sorrow means pain. Peace includes health. And healed is used here for physical healing.
By His stripes we are healed!!!
Psa 103:3
Who forgives ALL your iniquities, Who heals ALL our diseases!
Now that is the atonement!!! These words are not taken out of context. You can compare the Hebrew all through the Word and it means the same for healing and health!!!!
We must interpret the Word correctly and not allow the enemy to rob us of God’s truth.
By Jesus’ stripes we are healed!! Glory to God!
May faith come by hearing and believing God’s Word!!!!
CAN YOU IMAGINE
March 30, 2025
Can you imagine being at the first real praise meeting after Jesus was born? Out in the fields at night the shepherds were protecting their flock of sheep and an angel appeared and then many other angels joined with them and the Glory of God surrounded all of them. The angel was announcing that the Shepherd, the True Shepherd of our souls, the Prince of Peace, the Messiah, our Savior was born!!!
He was born in a stable, a place where poor destitute people would look to find shelter. He wasn’t born in a palace like a rich ruler would be. He came down to be one with the lowest of people, the homeless, the poor. He is close to them. He is one with them. He can identify with them.
Whatever you do to the least of these, you do as unto Him. They say of Him that He had no place to lay his head. He spent much time alone out in the night in the fields communing with His Father. Alone and at peace with the Most Magnificent One.
He walked and talked with Father God in the cool of the day. He was humble and meek but also strong and mighty in faith and has set an example for us to follow.
Prince of Peace, meet with us always in the cool of the day. Let us experience being one with You always.
Jesus is full of compassion, love, humility and forgiveness. Like a Lamb led to the slaughter He died in our place to pay the penalty for all the sins of the world so we can freely partake of this great Gift of His saving grace.
Jesus, Lamb of God, have mercy on us for being proud, independent, apathetic, and distracted from the purposes that You called us to. Without Your great grace we are dead. Bring life where deadness and apathy reign. Set us ablaze with the fire of Your love. Give us the same burden You have. Pray through us, Holy Spirit, Your perfect prayers from the heart of the Father.
Jesus, live Your life, Your mission through us…to heal the sick, set free the lame, open blind eyes, raise the dead. Pour out Your miraculous works through us. Raise us up to live big in You. Flow, Amazing Grace, through us I pray!
These signs shall follow those who believe….they shall cast out devils. They shall speak with new tongues. They shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them. They shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover. ..Mark 16:17-18.
May this be our testimony, I pray. In Jesus name.
JUST REST IN ME
March 31, 2025
I treasure my quiet time with the Lord. It is the time I like to call my own before I start my day. This morning, I had a choice of things to do. I could read my Bible, or my bible study book, or read a book on healing. They all are very good things to begin with but I really did not have a leading to do any of them. I sat back and felt to start writing.
When you have many options as to what you should do, what do you do?
Be still and know that I am God. Even though there are many options there is only one thing that is My perfect will for you. If you don’t know, be still, do nothing, and just rest and wait upon Me. I will show you the way in My timing.
There is no rush. You are doing the best thing by just taking the time to rest, be still, and know Me. Spend quiet time with Me. That is the perfect way to meet your need for wisdom is to know Me.
Just close your eyes and be still. Be at peace. Meditate upon My word. For example, Psalm 23. Think about it and receive it. Imagine it.
I am your Shepherd. I will supply all your needs. I will walk with you in the cool of the day along quiet streams. Rest in the beauty of a cool day at the park among the trees and rest, be still, and know Me.
Even though you might face situations that appear dangerous and life threatening, I am always with you working all things for your good.
Breathe in and count your many blessings. Yes, there are many and more to come if you count on Me. Trust Me, rest in Me, know Me for I love you and care for you, says your God.
Thank Me for the time you have. Many have allowed their life to be so stressful and so rushed with things needed to do. So if you can honestly say I don’t know which way to go or what to do among many choices, then thank Me for I have given you the time to just be still and know Me.
I am quiet. I am peace. I am love. I am faithful and trustworthy. I do what I see My Father doing. I spend much time alone with Him. I come apart from the cares of the world to be refreshed and strengthened in His presence. I want to teach you how to be with Me.
Let Me ease your every care. I strengthen your inner man as you rest in Me. I take away all your insecurities and fears and encourage you. I lift you up. You are seated with Me in high places of honor, power, and strength.
The enemy is under your feet if you walk with Me and talk with Me in the cool of the day. I lead you in paths of righteousness covered with My armor of Light and Truth. There is no harm that can overtake you if you dwell with Me. Lie down in green pastures. I will keep you safe. I am your Shepherd; I take care of you!
When you face your day, be aware of My presence and yield to Me, stay attached to Me for I am the Vine. You will produce much fruit. You will prosper and be in health as your soul prospers in Me. This is the day I have made. Be victorious in it, says your God.
COMMITMENT OR LUKEWARMNESS
April 10, 2025
I started attending a Bible Study about being a Disciple of Christ.
It sounds basic, but that is a tool of the enemy to get you distracted, because God’s Word is so basic that it is so profound!
Even a child can understand it if they are tuned into The Spirit of God.
I’m learning that as I go through this Bible Study, it is a matter of commitment!
The more you go through it, you might become lukewarm to it and put less effort into it, and go through the motions without really putting your whole heart into it — or maybe drop out of it completely!
And that is the same way as you walk with The LORD. Your walk either gets more committed — or you start to back off into your own will and ways of living your life, not caring if it is God’s Will or not, justifying sin, and eventually falling away into apostasy.
These questions seem to be hard to answer.
It takes a heart commitment to do it one day at a time — really seeking The LORD — and meditating upon His Word, trusting The Holy Spirit to help with the answers.
It is like digging into The Word — and going deeper.
When Jesus was struggling in the Garden before He was crucified, He wasn’t suffering for His lack of commitment to dying. It was His intercession for us that we would get the breakthrough to be able to live the Crucified Life and allow Him to live through us.
I don’t know about you, but I know that I need a breakthrough in my walk with The LORD! I can spend much time in His Word, writing His words, and being quiet in His presence, and then start my day — and before I know it, I am walking in the flesh with rotten fruit!
We truly need a breakthrough!
Jesus paid the price, so that we would be able to walk in The Spirit, and He gained the Victory in the Garden!
To walk ‘The Crucified Life’ is the commitment of allowing The Holy Spirit to flow through us.
We need to be the vessel Jesus lives His life through!
We see it in Churches, where there isn’t much excitement during worship.
We see it in marriages, where not much is happening in the way of relationship.
Whatever effort you put into your family and marriage, is equivalent as to how much intimate time you give to The LORD!
Idolatry takes up much of our time, if we don’t seek The LORD and care whether we are walking in His Will — or not.
This is the day to say, “Not my will be done but Thine!”
Jesus struggled, that we would choose Him to be The Number One priority in our lives.
Draw close to The LORD and He will draw close to you.
He will reward those who diligently seek Him.
The price to pay is worth everything we have, to endure to have Resurrection Life.
Yes, He has risen to give us life in abundance!
PRIDE BRINGS A FALL
May 14, 2025
When I seek The LORD, I try to seek His face and not His hand — I seek to know His will and to have His Presence.
If you seek Him first and the needs of His Kingdom, all your own needs will be met, but some get out of balance with this and do things out of presumption instead of by His Leading.
Many put their ministry ahead of The LORD’s and come at a loss.
Other things creep in like lust for fame, fortune, and the pride of life, which brings a fall.
If we seek His Face and Will, we know we are putting Him first, and all the Glory goes to His Name and not our own.
- What do you put first in your life?
- Is it your reputation?
- Are you trying to put your name in lights like someone who is famous?
- Or are you becoming more meek and humble and allowing The LORD Jesus to be seen through you?
The price is high if you seek the cost of laying it all down at His feet and not to pick it back up.
No more comparison with others in any way but trying to be more like Him.
Reach out and touch the hem of His garment (Matthew 9:20-21) and be healed in your mind, soul, body, and spirit.
He paid the price for your salvation.
Quit trying to do it all.
Just hand it all over to Him and surrender it all.
Let go and let God!
Some say “how?”! Be desperate, cry out, and wait upon Him.
Who needs a Word like this? We all do because the enemy’s tactics of deception are subtle.
He knows how to set a snare when you are unaware.
When you are at your peak and everything is going well, the enemy will come in and like a flood wash it all away.
If your Kingdom Ministry was built upon the Rock, it will stand, but that which was built upon the flesh will fall.
There have been many strong “ministers of God” who came to a crashing halt and were found out to be not of Him. And what a shock it was to all!
Where there is pride — comes a fall — and an end to it all!
