October 27, 2003 – WHEN YOU SEEK ME WITH YOUR WHOLE HEART, YOU WILL FIND ME
THE WINDS OF CHANGE ARE COMING AND YOU ARE GOING TO NEED SUPERNATURAL STRENGTH AND WISDOM. I SEE MY BODY IN ITS LISTLESS STATE. THEY ARE BARELY ABLE TO COPE WITH THEIR FAMILY PROBLEMS. HOW WILL THEY BE ABLE TO HANDLE WORLD CHAOS? WHEN WILL YOU LEARN TO FLEE TO ME, YOUR FORTRESS AND AN EVERPRESENT HELP IN THE TIME OF TROUBLE. PSALM 9:9 the Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. HOSEZ 4:6 my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. “Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my preists; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.” EXHORTATIONS TO THE LUKEWARM!
YOU ARE STANDING IN THE WAY OF YOUR DELIVERANCE AND THE FREEDOM OF THE CAPTIVES AROUND YOU BECAUSE YOU IGNORE THE TRUTHS OF MY WORD AND BUILD UPON THE IMAGINATIONS OF YOUR HEART. I DID NOT LEAVE YOU POWERLESS, IN FACT, THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A GENERATION GIVEN MORE UNDERTSTANDING OF THE TRUTHS OF MY WORD. I AM THE “BREAD OF LIFE” AND YOU SELDOM PARTAKE. MY SON SENT YOU THE HOLY SPIRIT TO LEAD YOU INTO ALL THE TRUTH AND TO GIVE YOU POWER TO OVERCOME THE ENEMY, BUT YOU SETTLE FOR A SUNDAY SERMON THAT SOMEONE ELSE HAS DIGESTED FROM MY WORD AND YOU CALL THAT SUFFICIENT SPIRITUAL FOOD. WHERE IS THE TIME YOU WOULD SPEND WITH ME IN PRAYER, STUDY, AND MEDITATION? HOW IMPORTANT AM I TO YOUR LIFE? COULD IT BE THAT YOU PREFER ONLY SECOND HAND CONTACT WITH ME? THEN DON’T ASK ME WHY YOU ARE WEAK AND UNABLE TO FACE LIFE. MY SON IS THE ONE WHO CAN DIRECT YOU TO ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH MY WORD AND CAN SET YOU FREE THROUGH THE TRUTH. HE ABIDES IN YOU, BUT YOU PASS HIM BY TO GET YOUR “SO CALLED” TRUTH FROM THE WORLD AND PUBLIC OPINION. THAT WAY YOU CAN PICK AND CHOOSE WHAT YOU WANT TO BELIEVE. YOU IGNORE MY WORD AND POWER AS THOUGH IT WAS NEVER GIVEN. MY TRUTH AND POWER WERE GIVEN FOR YOU TO BE A LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS AND YOU CHOOSE INSTEAD TO WALK IN THE DARKNESS OF YOUR FLESH. THEN YOU SEEK PRAYER, AGAIN FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO REACH ME WITH YOUR NEEDS. YOU WILL NEVER TRULY KNOW ME UNTIL YOU TAKE TIME DAILY TO SIT AT MY FEET AND HEAR THE WORD FROM MY MOUTH AND SPEAK TO ME DIRECTLY THROUGH PRAYER. I CANNOT MAKE YOU HUNGRY WHEN YOU REFUSE TO EAT, NOR CAN I ANSWER PRAYERS THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN PRAYED. WHEN YOU SEEK ME WITH YOUR WHOLE HEART, YOU WILL FIND ME. HEBREWS 4:16 Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
I HAVE TOLD YOU THROUGH MY WORD THAT YOU ARE COMPLETE IN ME. COLOSSIANS 2:10 and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority. COLOSSIANS 4:12 Epaphras, who is on e of you and a servant of Chirst Jesus, sends greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you, that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature and fully assured. I HAVE PUT IN YOUR BEING FOUNTAINS OF LIVING WATER AND TOLD YOU IT IS FREE TO ALL THAT ARE THRISTY. DO YOU REALIZE THE PRECIOUSNESS OF WHAT I HAVE GIVEN YOU AND THAT IT IS AS NEAR AS YOUR DESIRE TO ASK. REVELATION 21:6 He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the wwater of life. 7 He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. REVELATION 7:17 For the Lamb at the center of the thorone will betheir shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away ever tear from their eyes.”
I WEEP FOR YOU MY PEOPLE BECAUSE MANY OF YOU ARE BLIND AND AS YET DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE MIRACLES I WANT AND CAN DO WITHIN YOU. MANY OF YOU GO ABOUT HUNGRY AND YET YOU HAVE THE BREAD OF LIFE. YOUR SPIRITUAL STARVATION AND LACK OF POWER AND FAITH SHOW YOU DO NOT REALIZE WHAT AN INNER SOURCE OF POWER LIVES IN YOU TO CHANGE YOUR INNER WORLD AND THE WORLD AROUND YOU. THE SCRIPTURE SAYS FOR YOU TO DRAW THE WATER FROM THE WELL. ISAIAH 12:3 with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation. 4 In that day you will say: “Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done, and proclaim that his name is exalted. 5 Sing to the LORD, for he has done glorious things; let this be known to all the world. 6 Should aloud and sing for joy, people of Zion, for great is the Holy One of Israel amount you.” JOH 7:38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.” JOH 7:39 By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who blieved in him wwere later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified. JOH 4:13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” YOU HAVE EVERYTHING THAT PERTAINS TO ABUNDANT LIFE, GODLINESS AND SPIRTUAL POWER WITHIN YOU, BUT YOU MUST DRAW UPON THAT POWER AND NEW LIFE FORCE IN THE PERSON OF MY SON THAT I HAVE PUT WITHIN YOU. HOW DOES THIS RELATE TO YOU?
MY CHILDREN YOU PUT UP WITH HINDRANCES AND BARRICADES PLACED IN YOUR LIFE BY SATAN. FIGHT BACK AND HOLD THE GROUND IN MY NAME! OFTEN YOU ARE TOO SICK TO DO YOUR BEST FOR ME. FIGHT BACK AND TRUST AND HAVE FAITH THAT I WILL EITHER HEAL YOU THROUGH A MIRACLE OR WILL LEAD YOU TO HEALING THROUGH SOME OTHER WAY THAT I HAVE PREPARED. EITHER WAY, I AM YOUR GREAT PHYSICIAN, AND I CAN MAKE YOU PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY WHOLE. SOME TIMES TRIALS ARE UNAVOIDABLE BECAUSE YOU ARE BEING TESTED SO YOU CAN MATURE SPIRITUALLY, AND THEN YOU DRAW FROM MY LIVING WATERS WITHIN YOU TO SUSTAIN YOU. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN YOU ARE REAPING WHAT YOU HAVE SOWN AND HAVE BECOME YOUR OWN WORST ENEMY—ALL THESE THINGS I CAN BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION IF YOU SIMPLY “ASK ME”. OFTEN HOWEVER, THERE ARE THINGS YOU MUST DO TO CHANGE YOUR SPIRITUAL ATTITUDE OR CONDITION. IT IS THEN YOU MUST DRAW FROM MY LIFE WITHIN YOU AND I WILL SEND THE HOLY SPIRIT TO SHOW YOU THE THINGS THAT ARE BLOCKING YOUR SPIRITUAL GROWTH. I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU IN THE DARK; I HAVE COME TO BRING YOU LIGHT. THE TRUTH THEN WILL SET YOU FREE. DON’T BE AFRAID TO APPROACH ME FOR YOUR EVERY NEED. I WANT YOU TO HAVE THE ANSWERS SO YOU CAN TELL OTHERS. YOU HAVE NOT BEGUN TO TAP MY SUPPLY OF LIVING WATER. FOR EVERY QUESTION THERE IS AN ANSWER. THERE ARE SOME ANSWERS THAT CAN ONLY BE GIVEN IN DIVINE TIME. “WAIT AND PATIENCE” IS STILL AN ANSWER I MIGHT GIVE YOU, BUT AT LEAST YOU WILL KNOW THAT I AM AWARE OF YOUR NEEDS BECAUSE I HAVE TOLD YOU WHAT TO DO.
HAVE YOU EVER REALIZED THAT YOUR WELL IS DRY AND THEREFORE YOU HAVE NO ANOINTING OR DESIRE TO DO MY WORK OR YOUR OWN? THAT IS THE TIME TO ASK ME WHAT IS WRONG AND TO GIVE YOU A SPIRITUAL CHECK UP. WE MIGHT ALSO CHECK FOR LEAKS IN YOUR SPIRITUAL WATERING SYSTEM.
TOO OFTEN YOU HAVE FAILED TO BE “THANKFUL” AND HAVE TAKEN ME FOR GRANTED. I HAVE DONE MANY THINGS FOR YOU THAT YOU HAVE PASSED OVER UNNOTICED. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN YOU DO NOT VALUE OR REGARD MY SUGGESTIONS FOR A CHANGE OR IMPROVEMENT IN YOUR OUTLOOKS AND ATTITUDE. YOU SET THE “SOWING AND REAPING” CYCLE IN MOTION WHEN I COULD HAVE SAVED YOU FROM THE TEARS AND WORRY. YOU CANNOT PRAISE ME IF YOUR SPIRIT IS UNTHANKFUL. ISAIAH 61:3 and provide for those who grive in Zion – to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor. ~THE LORD a provider and a Deliverer. PSALM 34:1 I will extol the LORD at all times; his praise will always be on my lips. PSALM 50:23 He who sacrifices thank offerings honors me, and he prepares the way so that I may show him the salvation of God.” PSALM 71:8 My mouth is filled with your praise, declaring your splendor all day long. PSALM 100:4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. LET ME REPEAT! HE WHO SACRIFICES THANK OFFERINGS HONORS ME, AND HE PREPARES THE WAY SO THAT I MAY SHOW HIM THE SALVATION OF GOD.
“REMEMBRANCE” IS ANOTHER IMPORTANT LINE OF DEFENSE AGAINST LEAKS IN YOUR SPIRITUAL WATERING SYSTEM. REMEMBER THE TIMES I LED YOU THROUGH THE WILDERNESS AND THE TIMES I MIRACULOUSLY ANSWERED YOUR PRAYERS. REMEMBER THE TIMES I HAVE RESCUED YOU FROM SATAN’S DESIGNS AGAINST YOU. WHEN YOU ARE DOWN AND DO NOT FEEL LIKE PRAISING ME REMEMBER THE GOOD THINGS I HAVE DONE IN YOU AND FOR YOU. ~The Lord’s Wonderful Works in behalf of Israel. PSALM 105:1 Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done. 2 Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts. 3 Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice. 4 Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. 5 Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he prnounced. My children remember all my promised to you. Let them come your remembrance so you can be strengthened in the inner man. 2CORINTHIANS 1: 20 For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God. When you recount my goodness and love for you the spirit of the lord will stir your spirit and you will begin to offer up praise and thanksgiving.
JOY IS A NATURAL FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IF YOU ARE WALKING IN THE SPIRIT. WHEN YOU BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND FULLY WHAT I HAVE DONE FOR YOU AND WHAT MORE I DESIRE TO DO FOR YOU, YOU WILL BEGIN TO REALIZE THAT WHAT YOU NEED IS “MORE” OF ME AND MY SPIRIT. I HAVE FREELY GIVEN YOU ALL THAT YOU NEED FOR ABUNDANT SPIRITUAL AND PHYSICAL LIFE. THAT WELL OF WATER IS WITHIN YOU IF YOU HAVE INVITED ME TO LIVE IN YOUR HEART AND ASKED ME TO FILL YOU WITH MY SPIRIT. THINK “ABUNDANCE”…. YOUR CUP SO FULL IT RUNS OVER AND THE WATER IS NOT WASTED FOR IT CAN DRAW MEN UNTO ME. LET MY SPIRIT BEGIN TO FILL IN THE PLACES IN YOUR SOUL WHERE YOU NEED ITS POWER AND INSPIRATION OR WHERE YOU ARE LACKING WISDOME OR KNOWLEDGE.
MY CHILDREN, I AM EXHORTING YOU TO LIVE YOUR LIFE IN ME THAT IT MAY BE FULL OF POWER AND GOOD WORKS. I AM THE ONLY SUPPLY OF EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO LIVE LIFE IN ABUNDANCE AND TO BE FREE OF ENTANGLEMENTS THAT HOLD YOU BACK! DRAW FROM THE LIVING WATERS AND PROSPER AND BE IN HEALTH AS YOUR SOUL PROSPERS. 3JOHN 1:2 Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your sould is getting along well. This is my perfect will for you!
I CAME THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY. JOHN 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. ISAIAH 53:5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.
ROMANS 8:14 because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive a sprirt that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” BE STRONG IN THE LORD AND IN HIS MIGHT!
1JOHN 2:20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.
1JOHN 2:27 As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all theings and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit – just as it has taught you, remain in him.
2CORINTHIANS 1:21 Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, 22 set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
~Our Victory in Christ ROMANS 8:26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will. 1CORINTHIANS 12:7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. JOSHUA 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.
