A Journey Through Time in the Care of Jesus (Part 2)

 

SCENE 1

The love of many is waxing cold. Many have attempted to build bridges of success across the frozen waters of loves not fashioned by God. These lonely places have many travelers. I have not built these bridges, but you have built them because of the territories that you have journeyed into. If you follow me, then you will dwell in the hot places of life where the fire of purity burns always. You have chosen these cold places. Now allow me to lead your life again, and I will bring you back to the fervent hot places of life. The spirits that thrive in these cold places fostered by the design of cold love have already made their graves for those who will die because of cold love. Return to your first love before they bring you to the graves of lust and pride. Do not die in the way of coldness and indifference, but live in the way of holiness and righteousness. Behold the detour signs of life in your path and turn unto the house of your first love.

 

SCENE 2

The sunsets of life have painted numerous memories in your mind. You have looked at the sunsets of life and concluded that all your sunsets must be the same. I am sending forth a new sunset into your life that is as fresh as the manna that came every day for Israel. Lift your eyes to me, and behold the ability of the Spirit of God. I am not confined to man's limitations. I am from everlasting to everlasting; therefore, allow the everlasting God to determine what this sunset will be. It does not have to be the same as yesterday's sunset. It can be different, and it will be different. If you look to yesterday's sunset, you will leave the boat of faith anchored on the shores of man's concepts. Look to my vision, and allow the boat of faith to move upon the waters where you have cast your bread. Look into the distance and behold the things that are not clearly distinguished by human eyes.

Is it a city?

Is it a forest?

What do you see?

You will not determine the future things and their outcomes with human eyes. Only in the spirit will you behold the things that only I can perceive. I am the one omnipresent God. Allow my vision to be imparted unto you, and then will you understand why the sun sets on the horizon. Behold, I show you a spiritual mystery. It is the mystery of a spiritual sunset.

 

COLD LOVE, LIMITATIONS, AND LONELINESS

I look into the distance, and behold the things that are not clearly distinguished by human eyes. I cannot differentiate if it is a city or a forest with my human eyes. I will not determine the future things and their outcomes with human eyes. Only in the spirit will I behold the things that only God can perceive. He is the one omnipresent God. I allow his vision to be imparted unto me, and then will I understand why the sun sets on the horizon. God has shown me a spiritual mystery. It is the mystery of a spiritual sunset.

RE: RHEMA - A Journey Through Time in the Care of Jesus (Part 2)

 

SCENE 1

Ephesians are not the only ones who left their first love in the icy fingers of the frivolous. Synthetic love will not stand the heat of trials. Love that waxes cold is the process of evaporation until the entire original content is gone. We must never leave or neglect the source of our love relationship. Our heavenly beloved will come to us in the midst of the pressures and difficulties of the daily grind. Detours of avarice will take us down the avenues of half-way houses to hell. We need to use heavenly GPS units to determine our proper direction and center our love at his throne.

 

SCENE 2

Memories are the whirling mirrors of our minds that fill its corridors with images of time. Every day has a different format and declaration. Its winds bring us the fresh directions and exhortations. We can allow yesterday to fill our horizons with yesterday’s dead fish and empty nets, or we can see the abundant harvest of full nets. We can allow the failures of the past to trash the structures that could become the designer homes of tomorrow. We are looking in the face of all the things that he has prepared and revealed by his Spirit.

 

 

 

The light of the glorious gospel has shined into your heart. The grace of the Lord has sent forth a revelation of my glory in this hour of spiritual enlightenment. I have enlightened your eyes and your mind. The day of redemption will not find you asleep, but the day of redemption of the body shall find you looking for my appearance. I have sent forth more grace that you are not found possessing cold love for me. I have forewarned you of the subtle acts of the spirit of lust and pride. Lust and pride have been sent forth in a magnitude never seen nor experienced. Beware of covetousness. Beware of lust. Beware of pride. Know of a truth that the whole world lies in wickedness. Lust is the doorway of sin. It is written in my word that sin entered in through lust. All that is in the world is the lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. Do not be a friend to lust and pride. Friendship with lust and pride has cost multitudes their eyes and their minds. Look to the grace that is so freely given you today, and rejoice in self-denial and holiness. The world cannot know me in the light of the word. I am hidden from the world just as I am hidden from many who dwell in me. Look to me for a revelation of me, who is also invisible, immortal, and unapproachable. You must see me, who is invisible. Unless you have seen me, who is invisible, then there are heights to desire in your spiritual growth. Look to me again and behold the many appearances of Moses' great, glorious God.

RE: RHEMA - A Light in the Clouds of the Evening Hour

Gross darkness may cover the earth and darkness the minds of people, but the light of the revelation of truth will fill every canyon of darkness with illumination. Clouds are the smoke screen of the enemy. He tries to taunt us with images of defeat and phantoms of the shadows of fear. Our dreams are not defined by the phobias of this hour, but they are supplied by the inspiration of the Almighty. We are not the children of the night, but we are of the day, and we put on the armor of light. We do not sleep as those who are in the night, but we are awake to the coming of the Lord and the harvest of the miraculous that is happening now. We are told that Judah will be as a good horse in the day of battle. As we worship the Lord and feast on the blessings that are prepared for us, we will leave the devil in the dust that God said he would have to eat. We have been brought forth by the supernatural deliverance of salvation. We are being sent forth into a battle that may appear vicious and terrible. We are assured of victory by the promises that have sent us forth. Defeat is the diet of the devil and not of those who have been chosen to ride in the army of horses of final defeat for the whole world to see. The same word that created light in the beginning of time has pulled back the curtains of time to show us the glory that will be revealed in the new heavens and earth. We will rule and reign with him.

(Continued)

False promises authored by the prince of the power of the air are not liberty. Satan is a servant of corruption.

170. Then how can he promise you liberty when he is destined for a lake of fire?

 

I have confounded the enemy. He is confused and deceived. The trap of the enemy is empty of his prey. I have bound up the wounds of many, and now I desire to carry you to the bed of rest and bind up your wounds. I have come to bind up the broken hearted. I have come to loose every captive. I have come to bring out every prisoner out of the prison house and bring them to the bed of peace and deliverance. Rest in the bed when you arrive there, but cease to fear this conspiring enemy. The rules of love shall hold your broken places while they heal. The bandages of comfort shall secure your weaknesses while they are being strengthened. Do not worry about the prize in the distance. I am interested in your recovery, not in your participation and contest for the prize of the high calling.

171. What profit is a pursuit of a prize if your destiny is sealed in the valley of those who perish?

RE: PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING - December 26, 2006

 

We are encouraged to be fervent in spirit serving the Lord. Our lives must contain the zeal of the Lord that accomplishes the Word of God with intensity. Ferventness and zeal are from the original words that mean boiling hot. If we are boiling hot in our love for God, the enemy will never be able to cool off our fervent love for our Beloved. We are saved by the washing of regeneration and the renewing of the Holy Ghost. It is imperative that we renew the fires of our dedication and intensity for the kingdom often. If we just cruise along on our spiritual journey we will become cold in our spirits before we realize it. We must not focus on just barely making it in, but every day of our lives we must focus on finishing strong. God never decreases but always increases. His presence and power in our lives must never be allowed to decline. Yesterday must never be allowed to be the artist that paints the portrait of our today. Yesterday is not the transcriber of the events of the eternal power of God that are in my today. Tomorrow needs to be the hand that reaches into my today and pulls back the curtain of revelation on the stage of incredible blessings that are coming toward me.

December 26 , 2006

 

God, I know that the love of many is waxing cold. Many have attempted to build bridges of success across the frozen waters of loves not fashioned by you. These lonely places have many travelers. You have not built these bridges, but I have built them because of the territories that I have journeyed into. If I follow you, then I will dwell in the hot places of life where the fire of purity burns always. With regret, I realize that I have chosen these cold places, but now I give you thanks and I allow you to lead my life again. I have confidence that you will bring me back to the fervent hot places of life. I know that the spirits that thrive in these cold places fostered by the design of cold love have already made a grave for me if I die because of cold love. My desire is to return to you, my first love, before they bring me to the graves of lust and pride. By grace, I am determined not to die in the way of coldness and indifference, but by grace, I will live in the way of holiness and righteousness. I behold the detour signs of life in my path, and I turn unto your house. Although the sunsets of life have painted numerous memories in my mind, I have looked at the sunsets of life and concluded that all my sunsets must be the same. You have sent forth a new sunset into my life that is as fresh as the manna that came every day for Israel.

I lift my eyes to you, O Lord, and I behold the ability of your Spirit. I rejoice that you are not confined to man's limitations. You are from everlasting to everlasting; therefore, I allow you to determine what this sunset will be. I know that it does not have to be the same as yesterday's sunset, but it can be different, and it will be different. I know that if I look to yesterday's sunset, I will leave the boat of faith anchored on the shores of man's concepts. I look to your vision and allow the boat of faith to move upon the waters where I have cast my bread. I am thankful that I can look into the distance and behold the things that are not clearly distinguished by the human eyes. I realize that I cannot differentiate if it is a city or a forest with my human eyes. I know that I will not determine the future things and their outcomes with human eyes. Only in your Spirit will I behold the things that only you can perceive. You are the one omnipresent God. I allow your vision to be imparted unto me, and then will I understand why the sun sets on the horizon. You have shown me a spiritual mystery that is the mystery of a spiritual sunset.

I know that the Ephesians were not the only ones who left their first love in the icy fingers of the frivolous. I am thankful for a change of heart and a change of mind, and I am now persuaded that synthetic love will not stand the heat of trials. I believe that love that waxes cold is the process of evaporation until the entire original content is gone. I know that I must never leave or neglect the source of my love relationship with you. In the midst of the pressures and difficulties of the daily grind, you will come to me. I am determined to avoid the detours of avarice that will take me down the avenues of half-way houses to hell. I need to use heavenly GPS units to determine my proper direction and center my love at your throne. I know that my memories are the whirling mirrors of my mind that fill its corridors with images of time and every day has a different format and declaration. I am confident that its winds bring me the fresh direction and exhortation. I am thankful that I do not have to allow yesterday to fill my horizons with yesterday's dead fish and empty nets so that I can see the abundant harvest of full nets. Thank you Lord that I do not have to allow the failures of the past to trash the structures that could become the designer homes of tomorrow. I am grateful that I can look in the face of all the things that you have prepared and revealed by your Spirit.
