Jewels From Judy

“There is a time for everything and now is a time for healing. It is not only physical healing I release to you. Emotional healing is also upon you. Many in My body are nursing wounds, and while there is an appropriate time for that, there is a time to walk forward healed and whole again. Do not be like Lot’s wife and look back. What some believe is applying the healing oil and bandage is actually them picking off the scab and causing the wound to bleed again and again. It is easy to see this when the wound bleeds from a physical body, but it’s not so easy to see when the wound is in the mind and emotions. Emotional wounds will not heal when continually mulled over in one’s mind. This causes the soul to become toxic and bleeds out onto every other part of one’s life. Walk forward with your eyes fixed upon Me.

“If there is an offense which you struggle to be free from, but have been unsuccessful to shake it off your soul, take time to come to Me and gain your freedom. Your healing is near. Do not delay! Be washed in My word. Be cleansed in the Living Water of My presence. Do not allow the chains of unforgiveness to continue to bind you in the coming season. If you refuse to forgive those who have wounded you or your loved ones, you keep yourself from been forgiven.”

“For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.  But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.” Mathew 6:14-15

“Come to Me with clean hands and a pure heart knowing that when you confess your sins, I will forgive you. Take time to allow Me to cleanse you from all unrighteousness. I Am your Advocate and Propitiation. I intercede for you and invite you to the Throne of Grace to receive mercy in your time of need.

“Enter this year with confidence and hope. Earnestly expect Me to move on your behalf. Do not allow the discouragements of the past to cloud your thinking. Do not allow doubt and unbelief to muddy your prayers. Come be cleansed!”

An Exhortation From The Father’s Heart To Yours: The Secret Place of My Keeping

 “Beloved, do you realize that in the Secret Place of My keeping there is safety from every storm? Storms of life will come and they will go, but My love for you stands firm forever. Jesus was caught in the storms, the disciples were caught in the storms, the apostle Paul was caught in the storms, but fear not, I have overcome the storms! [1]

“Even when shipwrecked My glory was seen around and about Paul. When the viper came to bring destruction and the words of accusation rose up against My servant, I came in like a flood to those people on Malta Island. They perceived his sin of murder, but I had forgiven that sin, so that no charges could be formally brought against Paul. I had acquitted him. He served his ‘sentence’ as My servant and My friend. As Paul put it, he was a prisoner of hope in the Lord. Because of that hope many came to salvation. [2]

“The reason Paul walked in My authority was because of his time spent in the Secret Place. He was faithful in prayer, patient in suffering, loving to those around him – especially his enemies that held him in chains. Paul was a man that I loved so very dearly. I wept when his life was taken. Paul’s work was complete and his death was instrumental for the building of My kingdom. His life and his death were perfected in My hand. [3]

“Many think that being hidden in My Secret Place means that no harm will come to them. If this were true then My Holy Scriptures would be false. It is clear that persecution comes to those who follow Me. Those who teach, ‘If you come to Jesus today all your troubles will be over,’ are teaching a false gospel. Is not the death of My prophets, My Son, My disciples, My church that has been martyred over the centuries proof enough?  Can they be accused of not being found in Me in the Secret Place of the Most High? Of course not! I will be with you through any and all the storms you face. My prayer is for you to go through them – not that none exist. [4]

“Come and rest your head on My chest. Listen to the beating of My heart. Hear My love for you and the plans that I have for you. I want to give you a future and a hope. I will prosper you. Again, do not look to man’s ideas or understanding of what this means but look to the truth revealed all throughout My Word. Though martyred, those I call Mine have enjoyed richly prosperous lives that have been fruitful for the Kingdom. Time has proven their works worth. [5]

“Do you want to be fruitful for the Kingdom? Trust Me. Only believe. Come into My Secret Place and see how I will keep you from falling or failing. I Am well able to keep you in My hand.” [6]

A Conversation with the Father: My Mysteries Unfold the Universe

Have you ever had a song that annoyingly ran nonstop in your head? A little over a month ago, Tina Turner’s song “What’s Love Got to Do with It” was stuck in my head. I don’t like the song’s message and it was really bugging me. Frustrated, I asked the Father a rhetorical question, “What’s love got to do with it? EVERYTHING – YOU ARE LOVE!”

Then He asked me, “Do you know why you have that song in your head?”

I replied, “No.”

“Because I’m bringing something to your attention. Many people think love actually is ‘a second-hand emotion’ so they believe that tripe. It is worth the time to study the word LOVE and see what it really means in all its forms.”

As I felt His love for the people who are misled by such a message, the irritation I felt disappeared. “Lord, You are the meaning of love and there is no One like You.”

The Holy Spirit continued, “It’s unfortunate that people who have no concept of Me as I Am, are the ones trying to tell others I’m not worthy of their time. Let Me ask you something. Do you know why I want to spend time with you?”
“Because You love me?”
“I love all mankind.”
This is true, but I didn’t know what to say. I sat still and listened.

Then the Holy Spirit gave me this word for His Body:

“I want to spend time with you because I created you for a purpose. Don’t let anyone or anything keep you from your purpose in Me. I have a plan but you must press in to find it. Mysteries are only solved when one is curious enough to investigate. Unlike man’s mysteries, Mine are holy. Mine contain eternal answers to questions. My mysteries unfold the universe! This is why I continually urge people to seek My face.

“Since Christ came and gave His life for all mankind, this invitation is for all peoples. When you seek Me, you will find Me when you search for Me with all of your heart. When you find Me, I will share mysteries with you and you will know I Am God.

“All are invited, but only those who come will be given the keys to the kingdom. If you want the answers to the universe, then you need to seek Me – God Almighty who created it. That’s what love has to do with it! Just remember: you can know all mysteries, but if you do not have love, you have nothing.”

I love you,
Abba

P.S. Johnny Enlow, my former pastor, prophesied this is Rosh Hashanah the “Year of Secrets Revealed.” I love how God confirms what He is saying. Here is a link to that Shepherd’s Rod:

“My child, the work I do in you is not the work of the world.  I see those things that must be cut out.  Those things that hinder and those things that cause you to react in ways you do not understand - they must come out of you for you to walk forward in My will for your life.  Trust Me with the knife as I am the Master Surgeon.  I can cut those cancerous ways out of your being and make you new again.  When I Am the One you turn to for help, you will see a change.  

“It is neither by your might nor by your power, but it is by My Spirit.  Let Me cut out the cancer in your soul.  Let Me cut away the malignant growth.  Let Me cleanse the deep and infected wounds and remove all traces of gangrene.  Don't you know that gangrene comes from the lack of blood to living tissue?  Let Me apply the blood of My Only Begotten Son to your deepest of wounds.  Let Me apply the Balm of Gilead. Let Me give you the heart transplant you so desperately need.  Let Me inject My DNA into the depths of your being.  Watch as you are transformed from glory to glory! 

“Do not fret if this takes multiple surgeries.  You are indeed going from glory to glory.  This is a process, beloved child. I know exactly how much you can really take at any given time.  I will bring you into My operating room when I know it is the precise time - not too soon - not too late.  I will bring you in as many times as it takes to cut away the deadness of your wound.  I will only cut as deep as I know that you can recover, and then I wait until you are truly ready again.  This kind of work takes time.  Do not worry about your schedule or how far along you are in the process.  I Am familiar with all your ways.  You truly can trust Me.  Let Me touch that wound and bring restoration as you have never imagined. 

“Bind yourself to My Son.  Bind yourself to My will.  Bind your body to the perfect work of the cross.  I will loosen the enemy's strangle-hold.  I will skillfully cut away his influence and remove his talons from the death-grip they have had on you.  Trust Me.  All of the rejection and fear and demonic oppression will no longer hold you back from My very best for you!  I will never abandon you.  Though your earthy father and mother forsook you, I never will.  I will bring you near and draw you to Myself.   My arms will never drop you.  None can steal you from My embrace.  Go to sleep and breathe deep from the depths of the well of My love for you.  Rest my love.  Be still and know that I Am your God and your Father.  When you awaken from your slumber, I will have made a permanent change in you as I have replaced your wound with My comfort, My love and My desire for you.  Let My will be done in you, My precious earthen vessel, as it is in heaven.  Trust Abba to care for you in the way that I know best.”

With everlasting love,
Your Father

An Exhortation From The Holy Spirit:

“As you would tend a garden: till, plant, weed, water, treat for insects and disease; so too are you to tend the garden of your heart.[1] Weeds have a way of springing up overnight and taking over all the hard work and expense of planting. Just about the time you see the growth of desired plants (fruit), up come the ‘over takers’. You must stay vigilant to remove those things that attempt to overtake that which I have planted in and through your life.[2]

“The locusts come to destroy. Pestilence is at its very root a consequence of sin. It was not so in the Garden.[3] It was not what I meant for you. So many ask ‘Why doesn’t God stop wars, disease, and famine?’ However, they fail to see those things are natural consequences to sin. It is the fruit of mankind’s choices that produce such things, not My neglect.

“Being angry with God for wars, disease, and famine is as sensible as being mad at God for weeds growing in a garden. Just as a gardener must stay vigilant to keep weeds from spreading through a garden, so too must humankind be vigilant to stop war, disease, and famine. Remember, I gave mankind authority on earth and Jesus taught you to pray for My ‘will to be done on earth as it is in heaven.’”[4]

Lovingly,
Your Father

Personal Note: As I sat with the Lord, I was thinking about how exactly a half of the year is already over. Looking into the matter further, I learned July 2, 2014 is the 4th day of the 4th month of the year 5774 on the Jewish calendar (4 Tamuz 5774). On the Gregorian calendar, 182.5 days are gone, 182.5 days to go! If you recall, I have shared two posts this year highlighting the number 4. One was called “Too Many 4s to Ignore”1 and the other “44 Years Later.”2 Now here I am again sharing with you on the 4th day, in the 4th month of 5774. How unique! A final, funny note – the Lord gave me the title after I wrote this post and here in America we are getting ready to celebrate Independence Day on July 4th. Truly, there really are too many fours to ignore!!!

As I realized the significance of the day and hour, the Father spoke to my heart:

“This is a time of repentance and forgiveness like no other time in history. The tools I have made available for all to understand My divine will are in abundance. While sin abounds, My grace abounds more. This is not to be misused to justify sin, but rather a gift for those who have been caught in a web of delusion, lies and deceit, and want free.3

“The provision was bought and paid for at Calvary. It was for the very sake of freedom that Christ set you free.4 My Son’s sacrifice was real and it was personal. Now it is up to you to receive the gift, walk in His grace, and share that love with others. You may not think they deserve it, but neither did you.”5

In My love,
Abba

An Exhortation From God Our Abba To Fathers

Readers: While this word is directed specifically to the fathers, this message is not only for fathers, nor is it for men only. It blessed me with a true revelation of being "Made in God's Image." It is for all who are called by His name. In Christ there is no gender as we are all one in Christ.  See Galatians 3:28

“Do you know who you are, son?  Man was created in My image and in My image you reflect My love or lack thereof.  You are the very reflection of God Almighty on earth.  When people look at you they see Me.  When your children look at you they either see My love, grace, mercy, faithfulness and patience or they see your judgment, condemnation, perfectionism, apathy, and anger as a reflection of My character.  Do not allow a bitter root to spring from you and defile many.  The fruits of the flesh and the fruits of the Spirit are very apparent.  So what are you reflecting to your children and to those you mentor?  What do you reflect to those who are subordinate to you?  As an example, how do you speak of those who are superior to you in authority?” (See Hebrews 12:15; Galatians 5:19-26; 1 Tim 2:1-4; Ephesians 6:9; Titus 3:1, 2).

“Many desire to know exactly what I have called them to do and where they are to be.  The perfection of My plan will unfold moment by moment and day by day as you bend your will to Mine.  Do not look to the right or to the left.  Let not your hearts be troubled.  Do what I have asked you to do and then we will move on to the next thing together.  Do not despise the day of small beginnings.  He who is faithful with little will be given much.” (See John 14:1; Joshua 1:7; Zech 4:10, Luke 16:10).

“Right now I want you to listen to what I tell you.  You have heard that before the terrible Day of the Lord I sent the prophet Elijah.  My Son Jesus made it clear that John the Baptist came in the spirit of Elijah to restore all things, and yet John clearly did not know who he was. The angel told his father, Zechariah, but John did not understand the depth of his calling.  He did not know he was the Elijah to come and restore all things.”  (See Matt 17:12, 13; John 1:21; Luke 1:11-17.) 

“Now I ask you: Do you know who you are?  What was and what is the purpose of Elijah's coming?  Yes, he destroyed the false prophets of BAAL, but what was it he was to restore?  What do I desire to be restored now? Does not My word tell you?  Does not My word make it plain?  The Old Testament ends with this strategic information and the New Testament in the Gospel of Luke begins with it.  So can you not see for yourself how plain I have made it?”

Malachi 4:5, 6  Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the LORD. He will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, so that I will not come and smite the land with a curse.

Luke 1: 17  It is he who will go as a forerunner before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, TO TURN THE HEARTS OF THE FATHERS BACK TO THE CHILDREN, and the disobedient to the attitude of the righteous, so as to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."

“Many of you believe you are ready for My coming, but you are not ready.  The hearts of the fathers MUST return to the sons. The hearts of the parents must return to the children.  In the days to come My promptings will become very pointed and exacting.  A breaking is coming!  The fathers are the ones closest to My reflection on earth and I am soon putting My foot down. Those who are repentant will see great breakthroughs in every area of their life, but those who are not will suffer great judgment from My hand.

“The fathers must heed and obey.  This will require them to humble themselves under My mighty right hand, but those who obey will be lifted to new heights that will astonish even the best of them. At risk are financial blessings, healings and miracles, salvations and wholeness, and more than the mind can conceive. Many have cried out to Me for healing and financial breakthrough, but what they do not see is their relationship with their families is first on My list.  Warn the men, Judy, that because they are a reflection of My glory on earth, it is time to align their will to Mine.  The hour is late! It is much later than most believe.  Let it be done on earth as it is in heaven.

“I Am praying for the fathers.  I Am praying for the parents. I Am praying for you. Reflect Me well.  Be who I called you to be - representatives of My love on earth.  May it be done on earth as it is in heaven.  Selah”

Abba

PREPARING for the BIG!

An Exhortation from the Holy Spirit about a coming move of God

“Do you sense something BIG is on the horizon? Have you been hearing for some time now that you are to ‘PREPARE’? Many are asking, ‘What are we preparing for, and how do we do that exactly?’ Every answer to every question is in My word. Scripture holds your answers. Do you want gold? Dig for it in My word! Do you want gems set in antimony? Dig for them in Scripture![i]

“Many are looking for a ‘word for the day.’ Yet after they read a devotional or prophetic word, they often go on in the same way as before they read it. They do not take to heart what I say or have already said in the past. Instead, they tend to treat these readings like daily entertainment.” (As the Holy Spirit spoke this to my heart, I saw people online reading prophetic words and then picking out only what they wanted to hear. Others were reading godly words or teachings, but then went on to consult their horoscope or other such things. I felt a terrible sense of dread because of mixture.[ii]

“Permit Me to make something practical for you. Because it is human nature to want the ‘big thing’ and yet not have any idea how to prepare for it, use these simple instructions to guide you:

Love God with all your heart! (Don’t mix the holy with the profane and call it good, I Am a jealous God.)[iii]
Love your neighbor as yourself. (Care for others and treat them the way you like to be treated.)[iv]
Forgive and do not allow offences to rule in your members. My peace must guide you. Forgive as I forgave you.[v]
Guard your words and your heart. The mouth speaks what is hidden in the heart, so hide My word there and you will not be separated from Me.[vi]

“I will trust you with the coming ‘BIG’ if you are faithful with the current ‘small’. Good stewardship is paramount in My eyes. Think about whom to touch with My love: your family, friends, your community (in life or online), your work, school, church, marketplace, etc… It is here where you show you are faithful in what I have given you. Let My words flow from your heart – not like memorized lines in a skit, but words you understand and practice yourself. It is in doing this that you PREPARE for the BIG. It is here that you show Me that you can be trusted with what is on the horizon. If you prepare, this will be a time of great outpouring for you. 

“If you do not prepare by putting My word into practice, then you will be as the one who was given a talent (a large sum of money) and buried it. He counted his master a ‘hard man’ and openly said so. He reflects the embittered soul who is full of fear and distrust and isn’t afraid to vomit his complaints onto anyone within earshot. That master took the talent away and gave it to the one who had the most. Why? Because he was unfaithful with what was given him. The wicked and worthless servant was taken and thrown into the outer darkness.[vii]

“Be faithful with the provision given you. Be faithful with your gifts and talents. Be faithful to forgive so you can love as I do. Be faithful to prepare by walking in the truth of My word. Be a doer of My word![viii] Those who belong to Me will reflect My peace. I Am slow to anger, quick to show mercy, generous, loving, helpful, and faithful.[ix] Be the same, and in doing so, you will be PREPARING for the BIG that is on the horizon.”

An Exhortation From Jesus’ Heart To Yours: A Season of Restoration – The Best is Yet to Come

“The season you have entered is one filled with much promise and hope. Regardless what you have heard from others, trust Me when I tell you that the best is yet to come. I will never take hope from you. I will always give you reason to hope. When hope is removed then I Am removed, and I will not be removed! Give to Me what belongs to Me and see what I do with it. You may think you have little to nothing to offer Me, but I tell you I will take the little you have a multiply it. Like the boy’s lunch of loaves and fish, I will take your small contribution of praise and prayer and multiply it. So do not worry about being small. Yes, you are small. Yes, there is little you can do. But in Me there is multiplication beyond your imagination. I can take the little you have and all the impossibilities you face and bring a great outcome.

“A season of restoration is upon you, but restoration will not come without My judgment,” says the Lord. “Know that without My judgment, truth is not present. My judgment is true and My judgment is right. Righteousness and justice are the foundations of My throne. You may run to the Throne of Grace because it was forged in the fires of My justice and built on the foundation of My righteousness. You cannot separate them. By My design they were made to work in unison. As righteousness and justice are the foundations of My throne, judgment and truth work in harmony with My justice. My judgment is right because I always know the truth. I Am the Discerner of the hearts of mankind and I know what is truly going on – the motivation behind the action. The human heart is the most deceptive thing above all things. Know that you cannot trust your own heart. Trust Me to discern your heart, child, I will show you a more excellent way!

“This is a time of divine connections and open doors to those who have gone through the fire and been found without corruption. Judgment must start in the house of the Lord. So rejoice as you see the judgments come, because then My judgment can go outside My Body, and those who have been found operating in a cruel, greedy and murderous spirit will be brought into My presence for judgment. There is no king, no queen, no president or prime minister, no leader of any kind past, present or future who can hide from My judgment. There is nowhere for them to go that My eyes do not see them.

“Rejoice for the shaking you are witnessing in the world – as well as the shaking taking place in My Body. Everything that can be shaken will be shaken. If it is shaken loose, then it will be loose. If it cannot be shaken, then it will stand firm. With Me, it is a win-win situation. Allow Me to shake you. Do not fear for I Am with you. You do not want anything that can be shaken, do you? Be still and know that I am God. The shaking in the Church that you see will bring about a new purity. I Am coming for a Church without spot or blemish. I am coming for a pure and spotless Church. So pray for your brothers and sisters. If they are found to be of another spirit, they still need your prayers. I died to save the lost. Do not rejoice when big names fall. Do not rejoice in another’s demise. Instead, rejoice when My justice is found in the Church. Rejoice that I Am the Restorer of the breach. Rejoice that I Am more interested in revealing the truth then if My Name gets tarnished. What man thinks of My Name does not diminish My power or My authority. It does not diminish My truth. Man’s opinions do not sway Me. I Am that I Am, and I Am not dismayed because people speak ill of My name. I am more interested in revealing truth then hiding it. What has been whispered in the dark shall be shouted from the rooftops!

“Pray for the release of My judgment angels. They are fierce, and few will obey this request, but these angels are assigned to execute My judgment. With My judgment comes the fear of the Lord which is the beginning of wisdom. If you want My sevenfold Spirit in operation in your life, you must submit yourself to My judgment. I will always treat you fairly and provide for you a way out through My Seat of Mercy.

“Come now, child. Come and sit with Me and let Me sooth your heart. Let not your heart be troubled. Put your trust in Me and watch My restoration take hold. Remember, it is My love for you that motivates Me. Fear is the beginning of wisdom, but love is the completion. I Am love. Everything I do is motivated in who I Am and I Am love. Your life will be transformed through yielding to My judgments. Those things your heart longs to hear and see will be heard and shown. I will reveal My glory! Yes, I will say it again. I will reveal My glory to you. Let this promise take the trepidation from your heart. As you open your heart for My judgment to come in, it will be transformed. My Word teaches you in Hebrews 12:11 that as you allow My discipline to instruct you, you will produce peaceable fruit of righteousness. This is truly a delicious fruit! This is the fruit that remains. This is fruit that when planted will reap a one hundredfold harvest. Rejoice, child! Rejoice at this news! Though everything is shaken around you, it will not come near you if you have allowed My Spirit to test you and try you as in a fire. If you have followed My word and built on the foundation of righteousness and justice, what you have will stand through the testing fires.

“Ask for what you need to run and complete the race set before you. Being afraid to ask will breed doubt and unbelief. It will cause you to freeze and you will come to a stop like a stalled engine, so keep in the flow of My love and provision. Stop looking at your lack and the great needs that surround you. Instead look to Me for everything and then all things become possible. Do not merely mouth words of faith the way some do as robots. Believe the words you profess. Believe them because you know they come from My holy Word and not your imagination. Believe them because you have enough experience to know that when I say something, I Am will bring it to pass. Give to Me your pure devotion and trust.

“Restoration is My specialty. I Am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one can go to the Father without first going though Me. No one can come to Me without being drawn by My Father. I have prayed for you to receive another Helper and that is My Spirit of truth. My truth must be revealed in order for you to see Me. My Spirit teaches you all things. To bring restoration means to bring healing, not only to the human heart through salvation, but through physical healing. Salvation was given to you on the Cross and so was healing. It is time for healing to be known again by My Body. The Body of Christ is sick and in need and cannot properly reflect My glory in her present state. You have believed Me for salvation, now embrace My healing touch.

“Be restored, Church, be restored! Restoration is yours for the asking, but doubt and unbelief is killing you. When you pray for healing do not say, ‘If it is Your will to heal this person...’ You need to know what My will is by searching My word, then stand on it when you pray. Pray in faith. Do not waiver. Do not doubt and be double-minded – tossed by the wind. Doubt does not move My hand on your behalf. When you pray, ‘If this is Your will…’ you are actually praying doubt and unbelief and I will not honor such prayers. Do not wait to see healing to believe it or you will not see it. Faith sees it first. I have taught this truth since the beginning by speaking the universe into existence. I saw it before it was! Selah! [Stop and think about this – ponder what I Am saying.]

“Search Me and know Me by searching and knowing what My Word, the Bible, tells you. Do not say in and of yourself why you do not see Me move like I did when walking the earth or in the days of the early church. If My children who believe that I no longer move as I did in the days of old could hear how ridiculous this sounds in the ears of the omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient Creator of the universe, they would never say it again. To believe that I no longer move as I once did dilutes My Gospel and the power of the Cross. Do you believe I am limited by time? Is it possible for religious beliefs to override My ways? I Am the same today, yesterday and forever; I do not change. I Am God!

“I, the Lord God, who is not hindered by time nor space, will in no uncertain terms be limited by human wisdom, understanding, and knowledge. My thoughts are far above anything that mankind can think; to presume to speak and declare what I can and cannot do is sheer ignorance. The root of it is pride, there is only one cure for pride, and that is repentance. Yes, repentance is a cure. To turn away from sin is repentance and turning from sin will bring healing. Repent and be healed now in My name. This was the message of many of My prophets, this was the message of John the Baptist and this was the message of the Son of Man. This must also be your message or you are not Mine. Show people by your lifestyle how to turn to Me in all things and you will succeed as My ambassador. Without repentance – turning away from sin and coming to Me – all messages are lost. Unless there is repentance, there is no salvation, no healing, no prosperity, no taking back what the devil has stolen, no reconciliation to God. You cannot dance or sing your way into heaven without repentance, nor can you work your way in. A repentant heart turns from doing evil. It turns and it goes the way that I have set for it. It does not seek its own way or its own glory, but it seeks Mine. My way is complete and there is nothing lacking.

“Many fear My judgment, but you who are called by My name need not fear. Do I act without telling My prophets first? Do I warn? Do I guide you by My Spirit? You can trust Me. If you have any doubts, then come and confess them and let Me show you a more excellent way. I will always be with you and you need not fear.

“There is one more thing that you need to consistently do to accomplish great things. I want you to pray for My will to be done on earth as it already is in heaven and when you pray it is My desire for you to think about how things are in heaven. John and Ezekiel had a glimpse into My Throne Room (Revelation chapters 4-5; Ezekiel chapter 1). Though much of this remains a searchable mystery – you can clearly see there is no sickness or disease in heaven. There is no lack there is no sin. So when you pray, believe for My will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. Bring heaven to earth as it is your inheritance. I would not say it if it were not the truth. Believe for great and mighty things for great and mighty miracles await those who believe. Walk in My restoration, walk in My truth and see My justice – My righteous judgments – come to pass. As you do you will be filled with great joy and peace. You will be filled with My love.

Forever,
Your Savior and Healer

“I have called you to walk in My peace and joy. How will the world be able to tell that you are Christ’s disciples unless you walk in My love? What makes your life stand out to others who are on the outside looking in? They have to see a difference. It may irritate them for a season, and this may cause you to be persecuted, but did I not say that those who follow me will suffer and that this suffering is from having fellowship with Me?

“As fire consumes, so I consume the chaff out of your lives. What remains is the ingredient for hot, fresh, heavenly bread! Be My living bread on earth as you follow Me. I have called you. I Am calling you out, I Am calling you in, I Am calling you around, and I Am calling you through. Will you answer?”

Lovingly yours,
Abba
