IT'S NOT THE PICTURE BUT THE MESSAGE

Lord...here i am again...in my comfort zone...drawing pictures in my mind...

pictures i see and feel in my heart...

i remember the look on your face when i presented you with my first one...

i think of the first picture that was put up on the refrigerate for everyone to see...

i didn't understand why some would laugh and walk away...they didn't have the look that i saw on Your face...

that look of pride...and love...i could hardly wait to draw another...

You have always been the One who has accepted my pictures and words...my pictures of the heart...

Now i know it's not the picture, but the message that i long to present in all it's fullness and beauty...All it's truth and majesty...All it's power and glory...

Holy Spirit help me...reveal Christ...reveal Life and Love in the simplest way....through this child of clay...

This is my prayer...Amen

HE LIVES!

SETTING THE CAPTIVE FREE
LORD__HELP ME TO PUT IN WORDS WHAT YOU ARE SHOWING ME.

LET THIS WORD CAST IT’S LIGHT WITHIN THE DARK REGIONS OF OUR MINDS, SOUL AND SPIRIT. THANK YOU LORD.

RENDING THE VEIL__

ONE OF THE OLD TESTAMENT CUSTOMS OF A FATHER GRIEVING OVER HIS DEAD SON__WAS TO TEAR HIS GARMENT FROM HIS BREAST. THE TEARING SYMBOLIZED THE BROKENNESS OF HEART AND THE HELPLESSNESS TO BRING LIFE BACK TO THE DEAD.
IN THE TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM__ AN 80 FT HIGH CURTAIN __OUTER VEIL__COVERED THE INNER SANCTUARY__IT WAS MADE OF BABYLONIAN TAPESTRY__EMBROIDERED OF BLUE AND FINE LINEN OF SCARLET AND PURPLE__MADE WITH MARVELOUS SKILL. THE FINE WORK ON THE TAPESTRY PORTRAYED A PANORAMA OF THE ENTIRE HEAVENS.
SINCE I WAS A YOUNG GIRL__I’VE ALWAYS FELT LIKE THE LEAST EXPLORED AND MORE GLORIOUS KINGDOM LIES WITHIN US__IT IS THE LAST DOMAIN TO WHICH SATAN WOULD RULE. WHEN JESUS CRIED OUT__”IT IS FINISHED”__AND THE VEIL IN THE TEMPLE SPLIT FROM THE TOP TO THE BOTTOM__THE UNIVERSES WERE RENT IN TWO__THE THRONE OF GOD DECLARED HIS WILL TO BE DONE ON EARTH, EVEN AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. __AND MORE THAN THAT IT WOULD SHINE THE LIGHT OF FAITH INTO HEARTS MADE BLIND AND DEAF TO THE THINGS OF GOD’S SPIRIT.__
THE FATHER’S HEART WAS EXPOSED FOR ALL MAN KIND TO SEE__THE HOLINESS OF HIS HOLINESS.
WE BEHELD HIS SON’S BLEEDING HEART__WE HEARD HIS MORTAL CRY AS HE GAVE UP THE GHOST. (((WHEN JESUS WAS BAPTISED, THE FATHER ACKNOWLEDGED HIM WITH A VOICE FROM HEAVEN DECLARING THAT HE WAS HIS SON AS THE HOLY SPIRIT DESCENDED UPON HIM AS A DOVE__THIS WOULD GIVE HIM CONFIDENCE IN HIS WILDERNESS EXPERIENCE__WHEN HE DIED ON THE CROSS__IT WAS A NAILED SIGN OVER HIS HEAD AND THE WORD OF A CENTURION THAT DECLARED WHO HE WAS__IN HIS DEATH HE QUESTIONED, “MY FATHER WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME.”__HE DIDN’T SAY, “FATHER HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME.”__
HIS VERY CONFIDENCE WAS WITH HELD FROM HIM.__IN ALL OF THIS HE ASKED THAT HIS FATHER FORGIVE US__BECAUSE WE DID NOT (((KNOW WHAT WE WERE DOING))).
IT IS THE BODY OF FLESH THAT IS OUR GREATEST BONDAGE__IT IS OUR MIND AND OUR SPIRIT THAT IS HELD CAPTIVE BY IT.__WE ARE TRULY BLIND AND TRULY DEAF__AND THAT IS THE SENTENCE OF SPIRITUAL DEATH.
EVEN AS THE POWER THAT EXISTED IN THE INNER SANCTUARY OF THE HOLY OF HOLLIES WAS IN BONDAGE TO THE FLESHLY ORDINANCES AND EARTHLY PRIESTHOOD.
IT WAS THE VEIL OF THE FLESH THAT NEEDED TO BE TORN ASUNDER TO EXPOSE THE HEART. IT IS THESE VEILS THAT BLIND US AND DEAFEN US TO THE TRUTH.
NO EARTHLY PRIEST COULD OFFER A POWER GREAT ENOUGH TO GIVE HOPE OF FULL ACCESS TO THE HOLY OF HOLLIES__IT HAD TO BE SET UP IN GOD’S KINGDOM.
IT HAD TO BE ESTABLISHED IN OUR HEARTS, MINDS AND SOULS. WHERE WE WERE DEAD IN OUR TRESPASSES AND SINS. THOSE BONDAGE'S THAT HELD US CAPTIVE TO DEATH.
BELOVED__EVEN AS ONE HAS SAID__I AM THE LEAST OF THE LEAST OF THOSE WHO SHOULD SPEAK SUCH THINGS.__BUT I WANT SO DESPERATELY TO TELL YOU OF THE LIGHT THAT HAS COME TO SHINE IN THOSE DARKEST REGIONS OF YOUR HEART, SOUL AND MIND. TO REVEAL WHAT IS THE TRUTH FROM THE BEGINNING__THAT GOD HAS CREATED ALL THINGS BY HIS SON CHRIST JESUS__AND THAT HE WANTS YOU TO KNOW THAT MANIFEST WISDOM WHICH IS WITNESSED IN HEAVENLY PLACES__
THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN HIS UNCHANGEABLE PURPOSE.__HIS ETERNAL PURPOSE__TO GIVE US ACCESS TO HIM WITH CONFIDENCE BY FAITH IN HIM__FOR FLESH AND BLOOD CANNOT INHERIT THE THINGS OF GOD.__OUR GOD IS A HOLY GOD__AND HE IS SPIRIT__I WILL NOT ARGUE THE TRINITY OR THE MEANING OF HIS ONENESS__HOW THE SON WAS GLORIFIED IN HIS FLESH AND HOW HE STANDS AT THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF HIS FATHER__THESE TOO ARE OF THOSE THINGS THAT HE REVEALS AS HE WILLS__
I PRAY AS THOSE EARLY SAINTS DID__THAT YOU MIGHT COME TO PARTAKE OF HIS RICHES IN GLORY__THAT YOU MIGHT BE SET FREE FROM ALL BONDAGE OF THE INNER MAN AND STRENGTHENED WITH MIGHT BY THE SPIRIT OF HIS WORD.__THAT CHRIST MIGHT DWELL IN YOUR HEART BY FAITH__AND THAT YOU WILL BE ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN HIS LOVE.
MAY HE GIVE YOU UNDERSTANDING__THAT YOU MIGHT COMPREHEND WHAT IS THE HEIGHT AND DEPTH AND WIDTH OF HIS LOVE.__FOR IT PASSES OUR OWN KNOWLEDGE__
MAY HE FILL YOU WITH HIS VERY FULLNESS__ACCORDING TO THE POWER THAT EXISTS IN HIM__GIVE YOU SIGHT__THAT YOU MAY KNOW HIM AND THE POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION__
OUR ETERNAL FATHER WHO TORE THE VEIL OF THE TEMPLE__HAD THE POWER TO GIVE LIFE BACK TO HIS SON__THIS IS WHAT HE WANTS YOU TO KNOW__
BELOVED YOU ARE DEAD IN YOUR FLESH__NO MATTER HOW GOOD YOU MAY BE.__THIS OUR ETERNAL FATHER HAS ALWAYS KNOWN__IT HAS BEEN THE UNCHANGEABLE PURPOSE OF GOD TO MAKE A WAY FOR YOU TO LIVE WITH HIM.__AND IT’S ONLY THROUGH BEING BORN OF HIS ETERNAL AND HOLY SPIRIT. IT IS A GIFT THAT IS OFFERED TO YOU AT GREAT PRICE. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS COME AND ACCEPT IT.__AMEN__SO BE IT.

LORD BRING HIM HOME...GIVE HIM BACK HIS HEART

Lord...How can I ever thank you for answering prayer today...

One I had nearly given up hope on, has come...with all his diffenses down, with a broken heart...and wanting to know his way back home....


Your Love is endless in it's mercy and grace...enless in patience...enless in Your scope of forgiveness...it leaves out no details, going beyond what we could ask or think. You are the Faithful One...

Begin healing today Lord...take this broken spirit and envelope them in Your eternal hope...Let Your Light shine upon the Way...let Your Truth deliver them from the bondage of lies that held them in it's grip.

Build a hedge about them Lord...even as Your angel stood guarding Eden's Gate. Even as You guard the "Apple of Your Eye"

This mother gives you praise...and glory...and honor...with hallelujahs, with dance, with hands lifted high....Amen

"COME"

HOW MANY TIMES I'VE READ THIS LORD

AND FELT THE HELPLESSNESS OF THE WORDS

"WHAT?....HELPLESS?....WITH THE PROMISE?"

LORD?...HOW CLEARLY YOU SPEAK WHEN I COME IN THE STILLNESS OF MY OWN HEART...TRYING TO WORK OUT MY SALVATION WITH WISDOM...MY OWN I'M AFRAID...THAT ALWAYS LEAVES ME COMFORTLESS AND WITHOUT ANSWERS...AND THEN, THERE YOU ARE...QUESTIONING MY QUESTIONS....REASONING WITH ME...CALLING ME TO LISTEN TO YOUR WORD...YOUR WORD...YOUR WORD... LETTING ME GAZE UPON THE LIGHT OF YOUR MIND, YOUR REASONING, YOUR TRUTH...

"LOVE PROTECTS"...I AM HELPLESS TO PROTECT THOSE I LOVE FROM THEIR BAD DECISIONS, FROM THE PAIN AND RESULTS OF THEM...MY LOVE DOES NOT PROTECT...NOT EVEN MYSELF

"ALWAYS TRUSTS"...OH LORD HAVE MERCY...I DO NOT ALWAYS TRUST YOU...I WANT TO CONTROL...TO MANIPULATE...TO DEBATE...TO QUESTION...MY LOVE FAILS TO TRUST...

"ALWAYS HOPES"...LORD YOU ARE MY ONLY HOPE...AND YET I LOOSE IT SO EASILY WHEN I DON'T GET THE ANSWERS TO MY PRAYERS...IN MY TIME AND WAY...LORD HAVE MERCY...

"ALWAYS PERSEVERES"...ONLY BECAUSE I FEAR YOU LORD...I CLING TO YOU, AFRAID TO LET GO...YOU ARE THE LIGHT THAT GUIDES ME WHEN ALL SEEMS DARK...AND I FEEL SO ALONE...IT'S YOUR LIGHT THAT I RUN TO, KNOWING YOU'RE MY ONLY WAY OUT...MY ONLY ANSWER...YOU ARE THE FAITHFUL ONE WHO CHALLENGES ME TO PERSEVERE...

"LOVE NEVER FAILS"...MY LOVE FAILS IN NEARLY ALL I DO...

"WHO'S LOVE...NEVER FAILS?...WHO'S LOVE PROTECTS?...WHO'S LOVE IS FILLED WITH THE KNOWING OF ALPHA AND OMEGA?...WHO'S LOVE GIVES HOPE THAT PERSEVERES?

I AM LOVE...ALL EMBRACING, ABIDING, AND SANCTIFYING LOVE...MY PERFECT LOVE IN YOU CASTS OUT FEAR...

YOU FEAR NOT LOVING ENOUGH...I AM LOVE IN YOU TO DO MY WILL...THAT POWER YOU CAN RELEASE WITHOUT WORDS...JUST BE...

YOU DO NOT TRUST BECAUSE OF FEAR...YOUR UNBELIEF DENIES MY LOVE AND FAITHFULNESS...IT DENIES MY WORD OF PROMISE...

IT STIFLES, RESTRAINS AND HOLDS YOU BACK IN PERSEVERANCE...

YOU HEAR ME...YOU HEAR ME CLEARLY NOW...

I LOVE YOU...I AM LOVE TO YOU...I WILL NOT FAIL YOU IN YOUR LOVE, YOUR TRUST, YOUR PERSEVERANCE...........

"COME...LET US LOVE"

HIS LOVE IS FAITHFUL AND TRUE

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60o3UP4Kjwg

Beloved sheep of His pasture...know that our Lord is our God...He is a faithful God who is keeping His covenant of Love. To a thousand generations, his Word says...to those who love Him and keep His commandments.

He is good and His Love endures forever. His faithfulness continues throughout all generations...Psalms 100: 5

Though the mountains shake, and the hills be removed, His unfailing Love for you will not be shaken...nor His covenant of peace be removed...this He has said, this He has promised...the One who has compassion on you...Isaiah 54:10

Has He called you into fellowship with himself? His faithfulness can be trusted...to the faithful, He show himself to be faithful...His precepts are trustworthy...they are steadfast...yes, my beloved...forever and ever...He alone can protect you from the evil one...who goes about to devour whomever he can...

Follow therefore the "Good Shepherd" who keeps His flocks as the apple of His eye.

Turn to Him...run to Him...and if you are in a perilous place, with no way out...Call upon His Name in all faith believing...

He hears...He answers...He will save you to the uttermost...

THIS MOMENTS PRESENCE OF YOU

HOW IS IT THAT YOU RISE IN MY SOUL...EVEN AS THE SUN BREAKS THROUGH A RAGING STORM?

HOW IS IT, THAT THE TOUCH OF YOUR HAND IS LIKE A WARM EMBRACE...OR THE WIND THAT COMES OUT OF NOWHERE, COME AND GONE...LEAVING ME MORE ALIVE THAN EVER BEFORE?

PROMISE AFTER PROMISE...YOU REMAIN...YOU WAIT...YOU RESTORE.

I AM SATISFIED IN YOUR KEEPING

I AM LOST WITHOUT THIS MOMENTS PRESENCE OF YOU

MY THOUGHTS RUN FROM ONE TO THE NEXT...

"LORD, LORD...EVEN MY GOD."

MY BREATHING IN, MY BREATHING OUT

THEN I GASP FOR AIR WHEN I CAN'T HEAR YOUR VOICE...

WHEN I CAN'T TASTE THE SWEETNESS OF YOUR WORD...YOUR UNMISTAKABLE WORD...

THE LIFE GIVING SOURCE OF MY BEING

THE JOY OF MY SALVATION

MY ONE TRUE LOVE.

MORE THAN A CONQUEROR

LORD__CARRY ME AWAY BEYOND MYSELF TODAY. THAT PLACE WHERE HUMAN LOVE CANNOT FLY.
MY LOVE TRIES TO BE WISE__SENSIBLE AND CALCULATING. CAREFUL AND COMPROMISING__AVOIDING CONFRONTATION AT THE EXPENSE OF DENYING YOUR HOLINESS AND UNCOMPROMISING WORD.


THE TRUE NATURE OF YOUR LOVE DELIVERS ME FROM THE SUBTLE-NESS OF PERSONAL AFFECTIONS__

IT DOES NOT HAVE THE AROMA OR TASTE OF DUTY, USEFULNESS, OR REWARD__NOTHING BEYOND THE FACT THAT I LOVE YOU.


YOU HAVE BEEN CHASTISING ME IN YOUR LOVE__ OVER MY TENDENCY TO PROCRASTINATE IN WHAT I KNOW IS YOUR WORD CONCERNING SERVICE__(((AM I OF REAL VALUE?))) ....Am I Real?

!!!! I AM SO HAPPY!!!! THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ME THIS!!!!___
YOU ARE THE GREAT ((( I AM))) !!!!


THE ENEMY OF MY SOUL IS ALWAYS BRINGING MY THOUGHTS TO DOUBT, SAYING__” AM I?”


LORD__ I SEE! IT’S TIME FOR ME TO COME OUT OF THE DESERT OF THE TRIALS OF WHO I AM__EVEN AS YOU WERE TESTED CONCERNING WHO YOU WERE.
IT IS THE ACCEPTANCE OF WHO WE ARE IN YOU THAT GIVES US THE FAITH AND CONFIDENCE TO TALK THE TALK AND WALK THE WALK OF FAITH.


I SHOULD BE DOING__(((FAITH)))
IN MY THINKING__MY RELATIONSHIPS__MY RESPONSIBILITIES__MY WORSHIP
IN THE SIMPLE, EVERYDAY HUMAN THINGS THAT LET YOUR TOUCH BE MADE KNOWN__YOUR VOICE__THE WORD BEING MADE ALIVE IN ME.


THIS IS THE EVIDENCE OF MY ABANDONMENT TO YOU__AND MY REST.


NOT MY PERSONAL HOLINESS__CAUGHT IN THE NET OF HOW OTHERS PERCEIVE ME__OR EVEN A MORBID SENSE OF FEAR THAT YOU LORD ARE NOT PLEASED IN WHAT I SAY OR DO.


LET YOUR LOVE SO FREE ME OF EVER DOUBTING YOUR LOVE IN ANY WAY__


AM I ABANDONED TO YOUR LOVE?__DO I TRUST FOR YOUR LOVE?__CAN I FLY ON WINDS OF FAITH, SOARING THE HEIGHTS__WITHOUT THE LEAST THOUGHT OF THE MOTIONS OF WINGS__FEELING THE RUSH OF THE THERMALS LIFTING ME HIGHER, HIGHER STILL?


LORD__LET MY HOPE IN YOU BE PURIFIED__NOT IN THE STRAIN OF PROVING ANYTHING__BUT THE EARNEST DESIRE OF DYING TO MYSELF__NOT IN THE WORK OF DYING__BUT THE GRACE.
I AM MORE THAN A CONQUEROR__BECAUSE OF YOUR LOVE.

Saturday February 21, 2009 - 10:32am ...........Shebet

MY PRESENCE WILL GO WITH YOU...AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST

LORD...YOUR WORD LIGHTS THE PATH BEFORE ME

YOU MAKE MY HEART TO SEE WHAT MY EYES DO NOT SEE...WHAT MY MIND MAY NOT UNDERSTAND...

YOU WHISPER, "ALL IS WELL"

EVEN IN THE DARK VALLEYS...WHERE STORMS RAGE...AND FIERCE WINDS BLOW...YOU WALK WITH ME SAYING, "PEACE BE STILL"

I MADE HASTE IN MAPPING OUT MY OWN LIFE'S PLAN...STRUGGLING TO KEEP THE COURSE OF IT...

IT ONLY LED ME FROM YOUR PATH AND I BECAME LOST...

BUT I HEARD A VOICE BEHIND ME SAY, "NO, THIS IS THE WAY; WALK HERE"...

NOW I TRUST YOUR LEADING, BECAUSE IT HAS LED ME IN THE PATH OF LIFE, HOPE, AND PEACE...

THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH...THOU ART WITH ME...

YOU WILL GUIDE ME ALL OF MY LIFE WITH YOUR COUNCIL AND WISDOM...AND THEN RECEIVE ME INTO THE GLORY OF YOUR PRESENCE...

Ps.16:7 Is. 9:6 Prov. 8:14 Ps. 119:103 Prov. 3:5-6 Jer. 10:23 Is. 30:21

Prov. 16:3 Prov. 20:24 Ps. 73:24 Ps. 2:4 Ps. 48:14

NEVER ALONE

A CANDLE FOR THE FORGOTTEN

Hello Momma...I see you...you're not alone

The Holy Spirit's moving of Love in my heart let's me know, lets me see, that you're not alone...

Will you let His love speak through this simple old lady to you...?

Do you feel His tug just now upon your heart, to come and rest in the joy of His presence...in the peace that passes all understanding?

He wants to shed the Light of His Love in the darkest corners of your heart, mind and soul...

He wants to come and dwell in you...to fill you with the comfort of His fellowship...a friend that sticks closer than a brother...one who will never leave you comfortless...

Children?....No Children?....Precious one, listen...listen...multitudes are crying to be loved...and I tell you that more are the children of the barren than those who have given in birth....

What can you do?

Turn your eyes from your aloneness...reach out in prayer...and release the angels of God to their side...release God's love from your broken heart...and their spirits will take hold of your breasts and be nourished by the milk of the Word of God...they will rise up and walk in the Spirit of the Word and speak forth words of praise concerning the works of you...in giving praise to God.

You will become a fruitful tree...offering the fruits of grace and righteousness...abounding in all you set forth to do as unto the Lord your God...

This you will do....NEVER ALONE....
