Jewels From JudySunday, November 05 2006
Fruit comes from a source - it comes from what image it is made in. In whose image are you made, child? Are you made in the image of your heavenly Father or do you look more like the father of worldly materials? What will last? What will endure? What will remain? Is it the gold of this world? Do you realize the value of gold is reduced to street rubble in heaven? It is so valueless that you will only see it as a road to walk on. What is the fruit of your heavenly bank account? What are the dividends? What interest rate do you earn from your heavenly account? Don't think that you can just throw money at Me, child! I cannot be bought! Do not try to buy Me or you may lose everything you have. I know the motivation of your heart at all times and in every situation. You cannot hide your thoughts from Me. Do not give out of guilt as that does not honor Me. Do not give out of obligation as that is a divided heart. I do not seek those with divided hearts to fund My kingdom. I look for those with pure hearts and pure hands. I look for those with who will give without looking for honor or credit or attention from man. I look for those who will give not for what they can get out of Me, but for what they can do to bless My children. My children are My image on this earth. My children are the extension of My love. My children know My voice - they learn My voice. The god of this world has darkened many eyes and dulled many ears, but if you long to see Me and you long to hear the voice of your heavenly Father ask Me for the eye salve that will heal your eyes and I will freely give it. Ask me to flush the mud from your ears and I will cleanse them with My Living Water. I will teach you My voice, My child. Hearken to Me! I promise I will hearken to your cry. I will send angels speedily and dispatch them for your aid. My promises are "Yes!" and "Amen!" Do you understand what I Am saying to you? Do you understand that I desire to bless you with a fruitful life? But child, you must ask yourself if the fruit you are bearing is from My Spirit or from this world. I do not rate or grade your sin. No, I do not give one sin more punishment than another. To Me gossip will separate you from Me as quick as murder. So I ask you, what fruit do those around you enjoy from the garden of your life? In the love of the Father, Judy Monday, October 23 2006
Why Are We Christians? Is it by grace that we're saved or is it what we do? Let us discover God's character and person NO MATTER WHAT! Let us discover the truth, the way, the life - Jesus - NO MATTER WHAT! As far as God is concerned - the pressure is off. Why? Is it because of His law? Is it because of His Liberty? Don't pursue the idol - pursue God! GOD WANTS YOU - NO MATTER WHAT! There is a fork in the road - which way do you want to go? Old way -------- The Law of Linearity, pressure to do what you should be doing, live by rules, do things (read the Bible, pray, serve, etc.) to get results - to get God's attention and approval. Do things 'right' so you can be right in God's sight. This way looks for ways to get things from God. This way never delivers. You have to do A to get B. Draw near to seek God's hand not His presence. If you are looking for what you can get out of God - blessings - START OVER! This makes Christianity about what you do and not what God's done New way------- Law of Liberty! Hope! It is a desire that values God's presence over His blessings. This way knows that it is Christ who set us free from the bondage of sin and the law. This is a ?come to God dirty and let Him clean you' invitation. This is a Father/Child relationship of trust and love and DEEP and RICH intimate knowledge of one another. On this road we draw near to God because we want to know His heart. This is a ?better hope' not necessarily a better life ($, fun, worldly gain). Having God in your life is what makes life better! Then we desire to do right because we KNOW the Father's heart and we want and desire what the Father wants and desires. Let's ask ourselves: Why am I a Christian? What am I living for? Are we really loving or are we trying to get our own way? (With God and/or man) What must I do to be a better Christian? Hebrews 7: 18 For on the one hand there is an annulling of the former commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness, 19 for the law made nothing perfect; on the other hand, there is the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God. NKJV 18 The former way of doing things, a system of commandments that never worked out the way it was supposed to, was set aside; 19 the law brought nothing to maturity. Another way - Jesus! - a way that does work, that brings us right into the presence of God, is put in its place. MB Drawing near to God is the better hope. Jesus is the better hope! The Galatians got into bondage by trying to get to God by obeying the Law of Moses - the Law of Doing and they were deceived. They hadn't even been raised in the law and yet they we corrected by Paul who said they had been bewitched! (See Galatians 3) The word tells us the law was weak and unprofitable. It was given to teach us that we needed Christ to save us because we can't save ourselves through obedience to the law. If we break only one little part we are guilty of breaking all of it! Jesus fulfilled the Law and all its requirements. He writes His word on our hearts so that we will never separate from Him. So when we try to live by the Law of Moses we are saying to God that Jesus' sacrifice isn't enough and we need to fulfill it. You can see why Paul came down so hard on the Galatians! Romans 6 is a great chapter to read about this too. Here is a snip-it: 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace. 15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! This is because Christ set us free from sin and to go back to it would be like placing yourself in jail! You would be placing yourself in the enemy's lair! To walk like that would be like going through life in a coma. We can't take both roads! We can't live with Christ and with rules of the law. We are used to being ruled, but we can't put new wine in old wineskins. This will set you free! John 8:31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." 36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed." Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. We can come to God free! Jesus fulfilled the requirements. He did the work. The selfish life is behind us because we have been given the awesome gift of knowing God's heart! We can throw our checklists away and live a life of grace and peace and love in Christ Jesus! Do people see grace and peace and love when they look inside of you? This is a teaching that came from my notes taken over the past couple of Sundays along with some thoughts from me. I thought it would bless you and encourage you in your walk with Christ. In all that we do, may we do it to glorify God the Father. Be blessed as you are a blessing to me! Love in Christ Judy Sunday, October 08 2006
You are coming into the 7th year and I Am opening doors that no man can shut. When I open a door you must walk through it because once the time for it to be opened to you has passed, it will be closed by Me and will not be opened again. This is the season to obey immediately This is the season to rebuild the walls that stand in ruins This is the season to be released into your destiny This is the season of grace My grace is indeed sufficient enough. Be comforted in My love for you. I will never drop you. I will never call you out on a limb and not support it. I know it looks scary, but know I can easily hold you up in all I call you to do and all I call you to be. Believe. Sunday, October 08 2006
It is My desire to see you soar. I Am the wind beneath you. I Am what lifts you into the places you cannot go on your own. Take flight My dove! Take flight! It is the Spirit of Truth whom the world cannot receive that will lift you to new heights in Me. Fly in the power and authority of My Truth! Ask of Me, Beloved. Ask of Me what you need, but do not doubt. Do not be tossed in your minds to and fro as I cannot bless doubt and unbelief. Many believe their own doubting hearts more than believe Me and My words. Do you love Me? Keep My commandments. Those who are Mine hear the Word of God and do it. I came to bring a sword. Allow it to cut the death of unbelief from your heart. Use My sword to break through the chains that keep My church captive. Cut the iron bars that imprison the lost. Heed this warning: My sword is not to be used to mutilate the very ones bought with My very own blood! Skillful use of My sword is vital to bring healing and not wounding. As My Word says, "Wounds from a friend can be trusted." This is because a wound from a friend relieves the pressure like a boil that has been lanced. But one who takes My words and uses them to harm and condemn will stand before Me and give an account for every careless word! Repent now and ask Me to teach you to skillfully wield My sword. There are times to war and you are to use My sword to destroy only when fighting the enemy. You fight not against flesh and blood but against powers of darkness. My Word brings healing to mankind and destruction to the spiritual rulers. Be sure to separate the two. Learn this skill; then I can take you to new heights in Me. As you wait in expectation, you can mount up with wings of eagles and soar to new heights. Do not forget that it is I, the Lord God Almighty, who is the wind beneath your wings. It is I who sustains your flight. I Am the wind beneath your wings. Do not forget this. Wednesday, September 27 2006
You Have A Destiny! I have called you to the nations* to a destiny and I am asking you now, Will you embrace your destiny? This is a time of new beginnings and you are called for such a time as this. Know that you were chosen to be in this day and in this time. There is a vast cloud of witnesses who beckon you to move forward in the power of My Resurrected Son. Do not come to Me with your list of all your inadequacies and tell Me why you are unable to line up your will with Mine. I already know you are unable and that is precisely why I called you! You must know that what is impossible with man is possible with Me. I Am that I Am! I Am sufficient for all you need. Do not say any longer that you are unable. That, dear child, has already been established! Will you will lay everything down and pick up your mantle, continually wear it, and go where I send you? I will give you everything you need when you need it if you will obey My promptings. As you obey, the provision you need will already be waiting for you on My path, so do not look at what you do not have as you begin to step out in your destiny. Have faith and know that I will provide for you. Shed the garment of doubt and clothe yourself in My mantle. Will you honor Me by quickly coming into agreement with Me when I ask you to do something? Know that I start with small things. As you comply with My Spirit in the small things, I can move you into the bigger purpose that I have. Do not despise small beginnings, dear one. I start there with everyone. Even Jesushad small beginnings. I have called you to a destiny; will you embrace your destiny? You ARE More Than A Conqueror! Will you honor Me by looking at what I can do instead of what you can do? Beware of the spirit of fear and timidity. Will you embrace the call on your life or not? If you embrace fear you cannot also embrace your destiny of faith in Me. When you embrace fear you are proclaiming that I am not faithful! You may not realize this is what you are doing, but it is. Faith cannot exist where fear resides. You must exterminate fear. My love fights fear! My love conquers fear! I set before you a choice. Choose faith or fear. I will give you the answer, choose faith! Fear expects Me to be unfaithful and to break My promises to you. Fear expects the worst before it has happened. Faith will cause you to see the miraculous through the eyes of your heart first and then you will see the miraculous right before your very eyes. You have to see it first by My spirit, then you will see it in the natural. You can attract what you fear to yourself, or you can attract to yourself what you hope for. The choice is yours. I give an established warning: Guard your heart with all diligence for out of it the issues of life flow. Know that I desire for you to expect the best before it happens. I desire that when you see a storm approaching, you will expect Me to move on your behalf. Doubt your doubts! I have called you to be MORE than a conqueror. What this means is that you can know you have won the battle before ever entering it. The Greater One lives in you. You ARE more than a conqueror because I have already won! Seeds Of Destiny Produce Fruit! I have planted in you seeds of destiny. Will you allow the Living Word to water those seeds? Will you allow the Light of My Salvation to shine through you until those seeds grow to bear fruit? My dear one, do you not yet know that I desire for you to have an entire orchard of trees that overflow with fruit? There is sweet succulent fruit to be grown, harvested and enjoyed. All of the harvest will be brought to My banqueting table. My banner over you is love. In our Father's ever-increasing agape, *Nations - ethnos, peoples, lands. We all have a sphere of people where the Lord has given us His power and His authority. Please pray and ask the Lord to confirm to whom you are called and where you are to go in Jesus' name. Wisdom is proved right by her children. God bless and keep you. jb Saturday, September 23 2006
You cannot go back the way you came. The road is closed. Access is denied. You must take the high road home. You are to take the new road. Drink the New Wine. The old wine had its day and its purpose. But this day has a new song, a new sound, a new direction, a new path. The path I have you on is narrow. Enter the gate. Remove the vines and the brush and the obstacles. The enemy has had a season of growth and all of that must be cut away. It's time for pruning so the gate of My presence can be seen. Come in! Come in! Come in! Come in and see the glory I have in store for you. Don't look back and revisit the wounds of the past for they will no longer be there --unless you choose to re-open them. Let Me pour the new wine. Drink deeply! Drink deeply,Child! Spoken at "Where Eagles Gather", Kremmling, Colorado Sunday, September 17 2006
The Setup: We were singing the song during worship, Freedom Reigns: Where the spirit of the Lord is - there is freedom Jesus reigns in this place All week, and specifically this morning, I have been praying for Breakthrough to come through our church to our community, city, state, region and country. Breakthrough is what is needed for the days to come. (There is another word that explains breakthrough further. I received it yesterday entitled; I Am the Pearl of Great Price. Freedom Raining and Breakthrough coming are words given in unity.) As we were worshiping I saw golden raindrops coming down onto everyone in the sanctuary. I felt it was a rain of anointing to bring deliverance. The Lord required me to discreetly report this to our pastor, but I am not so sure how clearly I delivered the message. It was such a holy moment and there was such a strong sense of urgency from the Lord. The presence of God was so intense that I was shaking all over. The following word is what the Lord spoke to me as worship concluded. What is really fascinating is that the message preached was about releasing the baggage we carry and specifically breaking addictions. I had most of this written by the time he spoke, so it was a sweet confirmation of the presence of God in the house. The Word from the Lord: The golden rain that you see is the rain of My freedom to break addictions. Freedom rains when I AM comes into the room. Freedomreigns when I AM comes into the room! This is not to say that I am not always with you, as I Am, however, thisrain doesn't fall in the same place continually. When you feel your time with Me has been dry, it is because the ground of your soul is parched. I come with My rain to give you a chance to get replenished. Do not allow the rain to run-off and be wasted. When I rain on you that is your moment of deliverance, if you will but allow My Spirit to reign! I want you to be so fully washed by My Living Water that you will have an abundance to share with others. So let the rain of My presence come and refresh you. I want to rain My glory down on you, but you must allow Me to reign in your life. If you think your plan to get yourself out of the bear-trap will work, then I suppose you will have to wrestle with it further. The addiction that has been sprung on you has been set by the enemy. He has seized your life and is relentless. That trap you are in is daunting and deadly to you. It has a hold on you and you are powerless against it. That struggle seems so pointless when I AM stands next to you ready to open it for you. Hebrews 12:1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Until you throw off your pride and allow Me - the God of the universe to open the trap, you will remain ensnared in it. Can't you see that My ability to spring you from the trappings of addictions are so much higher, so much greater, so much more efficient and thorough than any and all efforts you can make? You even deny your own condition. You lay there with the jaws clamped tightly around you and yet you tell Me and others around you that there is no trap - it doesn't exist. Yet everyone can see that it has a hold of you. Those trying to help bring you freedom are shamed to scorn. The truth is, child, you are in a trap of your own making and there is no way out in your own strength. BUT DO NOT DESPAIR! Allow Me to open the trap, heal your wounds and reconstruct the missing parts. Your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear. I will rise with healing in My wings. Then you will walk in My freedom. You will walk in My grace. You will walk in My glory. Arise, shine for the glory of the Lord rises upon you and My glory will appear over you! Heb 4:16 Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Forever in God's grace, Friday, September 15 2006
You live in a day and in a time of great release and breakthrough. Declare and decree over your city for Breakthrough to come Open your doors all you gates and let the King of glory come in! Pray for the Lord of hosts to send His angels that gather to remove the stumbling blocks from your heart. Pray for the tares to be pulled out of your soul. I want all of you, not parts of you. Do not section off your life to Me as that is intolerable! I do not want parts of you anymore than you want parts of Me. The fire in My eyes is My passion for you and I will not share you with the gods of this world or the desires of your flesh. Allow the Gatherers to remove the temptations, the stumbling blocks of lawlessness from your hearts and cast those tares into the fire. I am looking for those with clean hands and a pure heart. Do not think you can touch others with unholy thoughts and unholy hands and I will just look the other way. The tares must be gathered from your heart and burned. You are positioned at the gate. Will you let the King of glory in to rule and reign? Will you be part of the greatest move of My Spirit yet to be seen? I will not share My glory with flesh. There is no more time to play games - the hour is late! Will you allow Me to have my way? Yes? Then allow Breakthrough to come and for the gathering angles to remove the tares. Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. I Am the Pearl of great price. Will you give all you have to follow Me? See Matthew 13:41-44 Forever in God's grace, Sunday, September 10 2006
Child, the sorrow of the pruning you are enduring is but for a short time; joy comes in the morning. Know that though it is painful, it is necessary. You are coming into a new season in Me. Think of a fruit tree that has one branch that is growing much faster than any of the others. The tree becomes out of balance. A branch that has had exponential growth in comparison to the rest of the tree must be pruned back so the rest of the branches can catch up. This is not pruning of dead branches, though I do that; this pruning is of a living and healthy branch which bore fruit you enjoyed. That is why the pain is so intense, but it is not unto death. That which has been cut away will be for My glory. There is a shock that happens to a tree when it is pruned and this is what you are experiencing. But remember, the tree gets over the shock and grows to bear much more fruit. Your branches are to bring healing to many nations. What I gave you during the prior season will never be taken from you. I have planted you by the Living Water and I want you to drink deeply during this time of recovery. It is My desire for your roots to grow deep and strong in Me. By My hand a lance has skillfully been cast to cut the cords that once bound you - the ropes are no longer there! You've been set free! Rejoice in that! Your roots are healthy and free to grow! Learn of Me as My ways will never lead you astray. I say again, take time to drink deep from the well of My presence. I will never turn you away and I will never set a limit on how deep you can go in Me. You are free to go as deep as you desire. The enemy sought to dishearten you and bring you to your knees. But that is right where I wanted you! His desire is to see you embrace the wounds of being cast aside - he's trying to regain entry, but I have strengthened your heart in this past season. Your heart is compelled to embrace My cross. That is because I have injected it with My DNA and you are forever changed. Because you have submitted to Me, I have given you the wisdom to resist his deceptions. Know that you are no longer an orphan. You are mine. You belong to Me! Everyone could abandon, reject and cast you aside, but My favor and My love will always bring you back to My side where there is fullness and life. At My side is where you can rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory! You knowthat you belong to Me and are a child of the King. You are heir to all I have, so walk humbly but confidently in that truth. Release the pain of the pruning to Me and I will rise up with healing in My wings. I will cover you in My pinions. Come up to the cleft of the Rock and rest in My presence. Mount up with wings as eagles. Yes, use the wings I have given you to soar with Me. I am calling you higher! In His ever-increasing agape, Saturday, September 09 2006
My angels have been sent to dance upon you and press out the new wine. Will you lie down on the threshing floor? Will you trust Me and submit? They will collect the wine that comes when you are pressed, put it in a gold goblet, and pour it out upon you as Golden Living Water. This is a heavenly water that is also oil. In heaven, oil and water mix very well. It is a divine substance that cleanses, renews, and anoints. I will give this Golden Living Water to all who are willing to be emptied and pressed. Call My bride, Judy, call out to My church and tell her that in this dance, I am providing the desired beauty treatments for her wedding. I am providing all the desired elements to bring out her beauty. My bride shall be pure and holy and blameless in My sight. She shall be readied! Prepare the way of the Lord! Prepare the way for your Groom! Allow Me to preen and prepare you, My beloved. The Scripture He gave me to confirm the oil and water mixing in heaven: 1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. |
