YOU ARE TRULY FORGIVEN

 "When I (God the Father) sees the blood, I (God the Father) will pass over you."  The blood is seen by the Father. The blood is symbolically on our hearts.  Can we see the Blood? No!  The the blood applied, is for the Father to see.  The angel of death had to pass over every home in Egypt that had the blood on the doorpost, the outside of their home.  The angel of death could not touch what God had commanded was covered by the blood of a Lamb.  The people had to apply the blood as the Lord commanded.
Today the Father has pronounced you covered in Yeshua`s death for ALL time, past, present and future.  Their is no longer any offering for sin because the Yeshua was the sin offering once for all time and our sins are remembered NO MORE!  Hallelujah!  
Hebrews 10:10 By his will   we have been made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 10:11 And every priest stands day after day   serving and offering the same sacrifices again and again – sacrifices that can never take away sins. 10:12 But when this priest   had offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, he sat down at the right hand  of God,   In the Temple there were no chairs for the High Priest to sit down on-because their work was never done. When Yeshua finished His work, our High Priest, He sat down at the right hand of the Father.
Hallelujah!!
Rest in His finished work today.

 Now lets go on;
10:13 where he is now waiting   until his enemies are made a footstool for his feet.  10:14 For by one offering he has perfected for all time those who are made holy. 10:15 And the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us, for after saying,  10:16 “This is the covenant that I will establish with them after those days, says the Lord. I will put  my laws on their hearts and I will inscribe them on their minds,”   10:17 then he says,  “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no longer.”   10:18 Now where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin. 
When the Blood of Yeshua is applied to our heart their is no longer any remembrance of sin by the Father.  The Word says this, I did not make it up.

When you or I forgive truly, do we still require an offering or restitution by the person who wronged us?  We should not require an offering, if we have truly forgiven! If the person who wronged you wants to make restitution, there can be a place for that but it is not necessary if there is true forgiveness. It only makes the one who did the wrong feel better.   But, in true forgiveness  there is NO DEMAND.

PERSONAL TESTIMONY

 *Translate into your own language by clicking the icon to the right of the screen.* 
I want to share a little with you on a personal level today of what God has done in my life recently!
God is so good!  I am so thankful that He does not loose Faith in us even when we loose our Faith.
I made 2 baby blankets when I was 16 years old, I crocheted them,  I got rid of them at some point because  I lost hope that I would ever have children.  But My God does NOT loose hope.  He is faithful who has promised! 
Now I am 42 years old and am 18 weeks pregnant with twins!  I am amazed at God`s love as I watch my belly grow with these 2 little miracles inside.  It is so amazing to me!  It is beyond my comprehension how much my Abba Father loves me.  
Through the years I would stand in faith and then have moments when I would wonder, "Lord, will you remember me?"  I would often think that maybe there was something I had done in my life that God was punishing my for.  I knew in my heart that was NOT scriptural and NOT Truth!  But the enemy would take my thoughts back to that when I started wondering if my prayer for a child would ever come to pass.  I work in a Hospital in the Neonatal ICU where I see everyone having babies.  I see Moms who do drugs and they go into labor early, but their babies are still fine.  Many many have babies who do not even know how to be a Mom.  But God still gives them babies.  So I knew it had nothing to do with me but me wallowing in self pity.  The answer is, it does not have to do with us but with God fulfilling His promises to us.  My life is a living testimony of what God IS ABLE to do.
So when you question weather God hears your prayers or weather He will give you the desires of your heart; fill your heart and mind with the Word and the believe that His promises are ALL yes to you and me.

Hebrews 10:23Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

What ever it is that you are believing for, have prayed for that has not happened or come to pass; know that His plan is a perfect plan and He will bring it to pass in His time or take the desire away. Maybe it is something you really have questioned God about and has caused you to loose your heart of faith.  Today, I want you to know it is not about what you have or have not done in your life, but it is ALL about His Name being glorified through the miracles He will accomplish in your life.
For He IS Faithful who promised!

 

INAUGURATION, ALSO CALLED CORONATION OR ENTHRONEMENT

  *Translate into your own language by clicking the icon to the right of the screen.*
Why does Rabbi Shaul(Paul) speak of  Inauguration of a New Covenant?  What happens when a President is inaugurated?  Is president Bush still in Power today?  No, his power has been stripped, he no longer lives in the white house and he no longer signs documents into law.  The things he has done or not done, depending on your perspective, are still true but Bush has NO power. This word (Inauguration), that is used by Rabbi Shaul(Paul) in scripture.  Shaul reiterates what Jeremiah preached boldly!   Yeshua is the ONE who has been inaugurated for ALL time.  He IS symbolic of a Groom/husband making a covenant with His Bride(us).  It is the Living Hope we have in the New and Living/Life giving Way, Yeshua.  You cannot be in Covenant with 2 husbands at one time, Romans 7.  Many today are trying to put old wine, which was delicious, into new wine skins.  It will never work, Yeshua said.  Your vessel(wine skin) will break and will not be able to hold ANYTHING!
 
Jer.30:31-33


ל  הִנֵּה יָמִים בָּאִים, נְאֻם-יְהוָה; וְכָרַתִּי, אֶת-בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאֶת-בֵּית יְהוּדָה-בְּר חֲדָשָׁה.     30
 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant(New Testament) with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah;

לא  לֹא כַבְּרִית, אֲשֶׁר כָּרַתִּי אֶת-אֲבוֹתָם, בְּיוֹם הֶחֱזִיקִי בְיָדָם, לְהוֹצִיאָם מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם:  אֲשֶׁר-הֵמָּה הֵפֵרוּ אֶת-בְּרִיתִי, וְאָנֹכִי בָּעַלְתִּי בָם--נְאֻם-יְהוָה.     31 
not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; forasmuch as they broke My covenant, although I was a lord over them, saith the LORD.

לב  כִּי זֹאת הַבְּרִית אֲשֶׁר אֶכְרֹת אֶת-בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל אַחֲרֵי הַיָּמִים הָהֵם, נְאֻם-יְהוָה, נָתַתִּי אֶת-תּוֹרָתִי בְּקִרְבָּם, וְעַל-לִבָּם אֶכְתְּבֶנָּה; וְהָיִיתִי לָהֶם לֵאלֹהִים, וְהֵמָּה יִהְיוּ-לִי לְעָם.     32 
But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the LORD, I will put My law in their inward parts, and in their heart will I write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people;

לג  וְלֹא יְלַמְּדוּ עוֹד, אִישׁ אֶת-רֵעֵהוּ וְאִישׁ אֶת-אָחִיו לֵאמֹר, דְּעוּ, אֶת-יְהוָה:  כִּי-כוּלָּם יֵדְעוּ אוֹתִי לְמִקְּטַנָּם וְעַד-גְּדוֹלָם, נְאֻם-יְהוָה--כִּי אֶסְלַח לַעֲו‍ֹנָם, וּלְחַטָּאתָם לֹא אֶזְכָּר-עוֹד.  {ס}     33 
and they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying: 'Know the LORD'; for they shall all know Me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD; for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin will I remember no more. {S}

YOU ARE AN OVERCOMER BECAUSE OF; YOM KIPPUR ATONEMENT

  *Translate into your own language by clicking the icon to the right of the screen.* 

This Yom Kippur season is upon us and I have heard people speak of names being blotted out of the Lamb`s book of Life/the Book of Life.  We should not add things to the scripture that it does NOT say.  In Revelations it speaks of Yeshua NEVER blotting someone`s name out of the Book, who overcomes.  The over comer is often thought of someone who is working hard at something.  But I am telling you today; Yeshua was the ONE who Overcame on our behalf, with His atoning death on the tree.  This person who overcomes is the person who believes and puts their hope, faith, trust and love in Yeshua.  Read the passages below for yourself.

Who is the OVER COMER?
Rev 3:5 He who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out his name from the book of life , but will acknowledge his name before my Father and his angels.

It is NOT of your own works!
 1 John 5:5 Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

NO ONE AND NOTHING (INCLUDING THE ENEMY) CAN TAKE YOU OUT OF GOD`S ALMIGHTY HAND!  If you really think that something or some sin can separate you from God`s love then, it is very possible that in your mind you have made Yeshua out to be a mere man like yourself.
John 10 says,
  ²⁷ My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. ²⁸ I give them eternal life(means being written in the Book of Life), and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. ²⁹ My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. ³⁰ I and the Father are one.”  No one can snatch you out of the hand of the Father or of Yeshua`s Almighty hand.  Do not doubt it only believe!

Romans 8

³¹ What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God (the Father) is for us, who can ever be against us? ³² Since he did not spare even his own Son, but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? ³³ Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God (the Father) himself has given us right standing with himself. ³⁴ Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us.

³⁵ Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? ³⁶ (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.” ³⁷ No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.
³⁸ And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. ³⁹ No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

LOVE; YESHUA`S NEW COMMANDMENT

 *Translate into your own language by clicking the icon to the right of the screen.*

When we become obedient to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, we will realize that the Law of the Old Covenant is Elementary.  Do you go back and learn your A, B, Cs now that you are an adult?  No, you learned the rules of reading your language when you went to first grade or before.  It would bog you down if you were told; now before you read this newspaper, you must learn your A, B, Cs again.  We would say that is foolishness!  Yet so many in the body of Messiah today are teaching this exact thing spiritually.  
We are to grow up in the Lord.  A baby drinks milk because their body cannot digest solid food the first couple months of life.  But if the baby does not get enough food, even at 3 months old, they will not sleep through the night, because of hunger.  They start needing some solid food to satiate them very early.  Spiritually we are the same way.  We need that deep Holy Spirit`s revelation in our lives.  It will cause us to want more of Yeshua and to fall in love with Yeshua like never before.  Yeshua gave the people what they needed, NOT what they wanted to hear.  He gave them unparalleled love and grace at every turn.
Yeshua said, "a new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. John 13:34
See, if you truly love others the way you are loved by the heavenly Father; you will go above and beyond fulfilling the Law.   You will follow the new commandment.  In Hebrews it speaks of a New and BETTER covenant. In Jeremiah it speaks of this New Covenant being written on our hearts.  The Law CANNOT cause you to love, it only tells you what you are NOT to do.  The Love of the Holy Spirit is the only thing that can make you truly Love your neighbor and others.  We can say we love the Lord with ALL our heart, but, the evidence is in the way we act towards others.  It`s not about our Love, but about His Love toward us.  Then, because  of His Love toward us, THEN we will love.  Yeshua made it so simple!  When we love the way Yeshua loved, the world will want what we have.  They do not care right now because they do not see that love.  They see law and they already have law in the world they live in, every day of their life. 

Lord, today I ask that I would love others the way that you love me.  I ask that I see those around me through your loving eyes.
I ask that I would hear your voice and become obedient to your promptings in my heart.

TRUST OUR HEAVENLY FATHER

*Translate into your own language by clicking the icon to the right of the screen.*
At this time in my life, I have to say that I have had to cling to the Lord,  when I have no understanding of what is going on.  But one thing I know, I must trust that the God who gave me life will bring to fruition the PROMISES that He has promised.  His Word is true and He does not lie to us.  He IS faithful, He promised.  

In Isaiah He says to us; 

41:10 Don’t be afraid, for I am with you!

Don’t be frightened, for I am your God! 

I strengthen you –

yes, I help you –

yes, I uphold you with my saving right hand! 

 ^{What is it in your life that you do NOT understand?  Do you blame God?  Or do you trust that some things are not for us to understand-or we would be god.  This is part of the trust relationship with our heavenly Father.  Like a parent to a child, it is not always evident to the child why a parent has made a decision.  The parent has made a good decision but the child does not see it.  The child can trust the parent and submit to the decision made or they can get angry at the parent.  The Lord is our shepherd and He wants to lead us and many times He will carry us in His arms.  In Isaiah it says;}

 40:11 Like a shepherd he tends his flock;

he gathers up the lambs with his arm;

he carries them close to his heart; 

he leads the ewes along.

  

So today, trust the one who made you, who formed you in your Mother`s womb.  He will not grow weary or tired of you talking to Him, ever. He has a plan and a purpose for your life.  Trust Him and He will complete what He has started in you.  His wisdom far outshines yours and mine.  He is so gracious and merciful and filled with compassion toward us.  Trust Him today.

 

Anointing Of Holy Spirit / Slippery Garments

*Translate into your own language by clicking the icon to the right of the screen.*

 What is ANOINTING oil?
It is the presence and power of Holy Spirit, in and through our lives, igniting the Yeshua Flame.
Psalms 133 speaks of this oil saturating everything it touches.  Oil is very difficult to get off and it makes whatever it gets on, very SLIPPERY!  This is what the Presence of Holy Spirit will do in our lives.  It will cover over us and saturate our lives causing His Spirit of Grace to permeate everything in our lives. In that permeation of Holy Spirit comes the blessing and favor of the Lord.
2 It is like expensive oil poured over the head,
    running down onto the beard—
        Aaron’s beard!—
    which extended over the collar of his robes.
3 It is like the dew on Mount Hermon
    streaming down onto the mountains of Zion,
    because it is there that the Lord has commanded the blessing:
        everlasting life.

God`s Grace, God`s anointing is sooooo simple. We as believers often complicate it with our pride, self-righteousness and religiosity.  We truly do not even realize it when we are doing this, because of our sincerity and zealousness for what is right, but it is a zeal not according to knowledge.  It is often a knowledge according to FEAR or of  our own performance.  Neither of these things come from the Lord!   We become like Saul when he persecuted/killed the believers.  We end up spiritually killing our own brothers and sisters, in a spiritual way.   It is immature to think that greasy grace means sliding by and continuing to walk in sinful behavior.  NO,  TRUE GREASE IS the anointing of Holy Spirit and that changes OUR very lives day by day!  There is a disconnect in the body of Messiah as to WHAT actually makes us SIPPERY/GREASY.  Have we forgotten about the anointing oil of HOLY SPIRIT?  It is a Biblical concept that has nothing to do with how many religious people are explaining it today!
Oil, Biblically, symbolically represents the Holy Spirit!
Does oil make something slippery?
I believe it does!  If I stand on a floor where oil is poured I will probably fall down.  Spiritually we will want to humbly submit our lives to Holy Spirit even when it goes against our flesh, because you literally cannot stand up in a pool of the oil of Holy Spirit.
This oil should cause whatever comes against us to slide off our spiritual covering.  Whether it is an offense or a matter of sin in our lives  we humble ourselves, and Holy Spirit`s Presence will cause these things to slide away.

The oil in the lamp stand of the Old Covenant Tabernacle caused the lamps to burn, which without the oil their would be NO fire.  These 7 burning lamp stands are symbolic of the 7 Spirits of Yeshua, the Messiah in Isaiah 11 and Rev. 4.  These 7 Spirits of Yeshua are ignited when the oil of His presence burns within us every day.
These 7 lamp stands also represent the Spirits that would rest upon the Messiah when he would come.
Isaiah 11
A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse;(Father of King David, Lineage of Messiah)
    from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.
2 The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him—
    the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding,
    the Spirit of counsel and of might,
    the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord—
Revelations 4
5 From the throne came lightning, voices, and thunder. In front of the throne were seven flaming torches, which are the seven spirits of God.

This anointing oil causes the Spirit of Yeshua to burn within us.  Without that SLIPPERY oil, there IS NO Presence of Holy Spirit in our lives.  When we have that anointing oil, we will be on fire.  We will walk in the Spirit of  Grace and the fruit of the Spirit will pour forth from our lives.  We will come to a place where people will be able to see we are walking with Yeshua.  Yeshua operated in kindness and humility toward everyone.
He also did not walk in judgment of others or those who were preaching in His Name, but not following Him physically as the disciples did daily.  Yeshua actually rebuked the disciples for rebuking the ones who preached Jesus and caste our demons in His name, but did not physically follow Him.  Mark 9:37-39  He also rebuked the religious, because they did not walk in mercy.

Today, walk under the slippery garment covered with Holy Spirit oil!  Choose  and act on what the Spirit speaks to you.  Let whatever is bothering or troubling you slide away by submitting it to the Lord.  Give Holy Spirit complete control in your life.

GOD`S GRACE IS PROMISCUOUS AND UNRESTRAINED

 *Translate into your own language by clicking the icon to the right of the screen.*

God`s Grace is promiscuous and unrestrained! Meaning, Grace goes everywhere, it has NO limit and has NO rules.  It is unmerited and undeserved favor.  You cannot do anything to get it.
Just except it!
  We do not fight FOR victory, We come FROM a place of VICTORY. Because we are seated in heavenly places WITH Yeshua. We walk in His victorious work today!
His Grace IS sufficient for you today!
Heb. 13:9 May your heart be established in Grace today.  May it be the foundation of your life, unmerited and undeserved favor!


 

LAZARUZ, COME FORTH, RISE UP AND SPEAK

 *Translate into your own language by clicking the icon to the right of the screen.*
Do you pray with authority?
This week as I was praying for a very dear friend and the Lord reminded me to pray with authority.
This means to NOT just ask, but to speak things into existence.  Speaking those things that ARE His will, according to His will.
How did Yeshua heal and cast out demons?
How did the disciples heal and cast out demons?
When we read the first 5 books of the New Covenant, we see every miracle done, was spoken into existence.  Yeshua reveals the father is in Him and He is in the Father.  In the same way, we are in Yeshua and He is IN us.  Where ever Yeshua IS, LIFE HAS to be produced, Right?  He IS LIFE!

In Luke 10:17-19 the disciples are amazed that the enemy is submitted to them.
 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.  Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. 
The word subject in Greek is;  hypotassō, it means the following.

1) to subject, put in subjection

2) to subject one's self, obey,  to submit to one's control

Greater is He(Yeshua) who is in you than He who is in the world!

 The same word is used in 1 Cor. 15:27
For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under [him, it is] manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.  

Also in Ephes. 1:22a,
And hath put all [things] under his feet,

We are IN Messiah and Messiah IS IN us.  You cannot separate the Holy Spirit  out of the heart of the children of the Lord.  We are Sons and Daughters of the KING.  Let me ask a question.  When a parent looks at their child, can the parent separate the DNA part of the child that is the child`s, or the part that is the parent`s?  We have the DNA of Messiah flowing through us.  It cannot be separated.  So what is in Messiah, IS in you!  This should make you excited AND make you act differently!  Boldly!
So when you pray, you do not have to pray long and repetitious prayers. But, you do need to take authority when you pray and speak to the mountain, the demon, the sickness, the attitude, or the fear.  Cover this area of your life or another`s with the blood.  Yeshua spoke to a corpse that was dead for 4 days, the body stank.  Yeshua`s words were, "Lazarus, come forth."  Yes, he only spoke 3 little words to bring what was DEAD to LIFE.  START TO SAY THESE LITTLE WORDS over your home, your family, your children, your job, and your friends.
To the lame man at the gate beautiful Peter said, "silver and gold I do not have but that which I have I give to you, in the name of Yeshua RISE UP AND WALK!"
Today, I say to you RISE UP AND SPEAK in your prayer life and it will come to LIFE!

PRAISE HIM, HE IS GREATER THAN ANY PROBLEM

 *Translate into your own language by clicking the icon to the right of the screen.*

Our we grateful before we know the answer to our problem, or before our prayers are answered?
Or maybe we are in the waiting mode, which can be very difficult, when you want something so bad!
Do we walk with an attitude of gratitude?  
We are to walk the path of  contentment and peace knowing that God is in control, even when the problem is not solved or the prayer is not answered.
Phil. 4:11 says this.   I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. 
So today lets praise Him in advance of the victory that is coming. 
May His glory cover you as the waters cover the sea!
Psalms

28:6 The Lord deserves praise, for he has heard my plea for mercy! 

28:7 The Lord strengthens and protects me; I trust in him with all my heart. I am rescued   and my heart is full of joy; I will sing to him in gratitude. 

^{God will answer and give you the desires of your heart.  Those desires came from Him and He wants you to receive them.  Do not give up, PRAISE HIM!
Ephes. 3:20 says,}
Now to him who is able(MUST) to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,

Able, dynamai, in the Greek, means to be capable, strong and powerful!  That IS the God we serve.  Do not give up or loose heart.  Ask His glory to come and over shadow you with His presence today.  He IS faithful who has Promised.  His Promises are ALL Yes and Amen.  He will fulfill His Word that has been spoken over your life and it will not return empty.  He holds the desires of your heart in His Mighty Hand.  He reaches down and says, "I WILL Help you"

The Holy Spirit just reminded me of a song I sang as a kid.

Bigger Than Any Mountain 

Bigger than all my problems, Bigger than all my fears
God is bigger than any mountain that I can or cannot see
Bigger than all my questions, Bigger than anything
God is bigger than any mountain that I can or cannot see
 

Bigger than all the shadows that fall across my back
God is bigger than any mountain that I can or cannot see
Bigger than all the confusion, Bigger than anything
God is bigger than any mountain that I can or cannot see  

Bigger than all the giants, fear and unbelief
God is bigger than any mountain I can or cannot see
Bigger than all my hangups, Bigger than anything
God is bigger than any mountain that I can or cannot see 

WALK IN HIS VICTORY, POWER AND STRENGTH TODAY!

IT IS THE WALK OF FAITH! 

Did not the same one form us in the womb?

 *Translate into your own language by clicking the icon to the right of the screen.*
Have we lost our compassion for those around us?

31:15 Did not the one who made me in the womb make them? 

Did not the same one form us in the womb?

As I daily work in a hospital, I see so much pain and suffering ALL around me!  It amazes me what people go through.  If I did not work in healthcare I would not believe it!  I might even think that my pain was worst than others.  Which, by the way is a selfish thing to say.  I am moved to tears many times a day at what sadness I see.  My prayer for those around me is this, "Oh that they would know you Lord and the sweetness of your presence. 

There are many explanations that people like to give when the question is asked about why God allows suffering.  Some religious like to think that those who experience suffering are not obedient to God in some area of their life.  Then....become very bitter when something happens in their life that they cannot explain! 

In the Word it says that the rain falls on the just and unjust.  This to me means the same things, good and bad, happen to everyone.  The one difference I see, prayer does change things that are turned upside down.  Yeshua said He would bring the high places down and the low places up. When I ask for God`s protection every day of my life I am not relying on my own strength but upon His strength.  His strength is made perfect in my weakness.  I also know that God`s Word (all His promises) will not return void in my life or anyone else`s life.  But NONE are exempt from pain in this life!  If you think someone is escaping pain (be it physical or spiritual), then you truly do not know that person  as well as you think you do! 

We all have a testimony.  Share it, be transparent, maybe, just maybe someone will be helped by your willingness to open your heart to them!  People often think that you do not know what they are going through until you share what you have gone through.

I encourage you this week to share your life, maybe just a tiny part of it with someone you know and someone you do not know.  When you do this you share God!

Do not lose your compassion for those around you.  Share You, Yeshua, doesn`t he live inside you?

Be Yeshua to the world, they need you.  They need hope!

WHAT ARE YOU WAITNG FOR?

 *Translate into your own language by clicking the icon to the right of the screen.*
 What are you waiting for?
Someone may say, I am waiting to be called, or waiting for a specific thing to happen or a sign from the Lord, THEN I will know, then I will answer, then I will act, then I will make changes in my life, then I will stop hanging around those friends, then I will eat differently, then I will be healed, then I will prioritize my husband, wife or children and on and on we make excuses inside the hiding place of our heart and mind. 

I want to remind you of a man who was crippled for thirty-eight years.  He was waiting beside a pool of water that The Angel of the Lord would stir.  Whoever was first to enter the water would be healed. This crippled man was never fast enough, and there was no one to help him into the water.
Yeshua asked, "do you want to be well?'  Many people when asked this question would say, "of course I want to be well, why do you even ask?"  Just the same Yeshua asked and the crippled man gave the reason why he was not healed.  Yeshua said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.”

Today there is no need to lay beside a pool and wait for the water to be stirred by the angel.  The Holy Spirit is Present at all times inside of you.  Reach out and grab hold of His presence.  He is actually waiting on your heart to be stirred and for you to respond to HIM.   What is the THING that is crippling your life?  I say to you today, ACT, pick up your mat and walk, in His power and His strength and His might.

See,  you do not have to wait for a specific sign, Yeshua IS the sign.  He is living and on the inside of you.  His Presence is ever with you.  Quiet yourself and feel Yeshua`s arms around you right now.

 John 5
 Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals. ² Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda^[a] and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. ³ Here a great number of disabled people used to lie—the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. ^{[4] [b] 5} One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. ⁶ When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?”
⁷ “Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.”
⁸ Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.” ⁹ At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked.

DISAPPOINTMENTS?

DELAY DOES NOT MEAN DENIAL!
It is true that every person on this earth experiences many disappointments and trials over their life time. 
The question is; what do we do with those disappointments?
Do we get angry that something we desired did not come to pass in the timing we wanted it to?  Or do we give it over, surrender it, to the Lord, knowing that He is in ultimate control and knows what is best for each of us?
God is a God of Life!  He has come that we might have life and LIFE more abundantly!
I want to share something personal with my readers.
My husband and I have been married for 17 years this month.
We have desired to have children for many many years.  It has been a constant source of pain and wondering why, over the years.  God has given many words through others, to us that we would have babies.  For many years I believed that God was imminently going to do a miracle, waiting expectantly, expectantly.  I also believed that if it was not going to happen that God want take away the desire in us.  Well, that has not happened!  We saw a fertility Doctor 13 years ago and they gave us NO hope at all, even if we spent thousands of dollars for IVF.  The chances of IVF working were 50% or less.  Well, needless to say we did not have the dollars to do it. 
So.... 8 years later we tried to refinance our home.  No matter what we tried it always was a NO from mortgage brokers.  Finally, last year after waiting and waiting, our mortgage interest rate was dropped, decreasing  our monthly payment, and enabling us to go forward with IVF (in-vitro fertilization). 
As I am now 40 and the clock is ticking......we started again to see a fertility Doctor.   Approximately 16 months ago we started IUI(inter-uterine insemination).  After several tries the message again was that we needed to do IVF (in-vitro fertilization).  This February we started the process, we got down to a couple of days before the embyos would be transferred into my uterus and something went wrong.  The whole process had to be stopped and we have to start all over again!  What disappointment again and again and again!  I ask God why, and He speaks to me, in the quiet place and he says it is "In His timing" and "For His GLORY."

Today, what is it that you are desiring?  Is it your health, your husband, wife or child`s spirituality,  a job, or ANY desire that you know is GOOD and comes from the Lord?  I want you to know that it is NOT about you or anything you have DONE or  NOT DONE that you may think is preventing these things from coming to fruition!
 The Lord says to you today, "IT WILL HAPPEN, IN MY(GOD`S) TIMING AND I WILL BRING IT TO PASS IN YOUR LIFE, BUT, IT IS FOR MY (GOD`S) GLORY,  NOT  FOR YOUR OWN OR THE GLORY OF THE SITUATION!"
REMEMBER, YESHUA HAS COME THAT WE MIGHT HAVE LIFE AND LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY.  TRUST HIM LIKE YOU NEVER HAVE BEFORE.  TAKE A LEAP OF FAITH AND DO SOMETHING YOU HAVE NEVER DONE BEFORE.  YOU WILL SEE THE MOUNTAINS REMOVED AND CAST INTO THE SEA LIKE NEVER BEFORE.
Remember His loving kindness and His good deeds toward you, focus on the future that you have in Yeshua.  Focus on Yeshua!  Keep Him your #1 priority!

SPIRIT OF GRACE

“Now I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified

This same Spirit of Grace is the Holy Spirit.  Today, Holy Spirit wants to build you up into Himself and give you His inheritance.  You are seated in heavenly places with Yeshua at the father`s right hand.  The only thing we are to strive for- IS -to enter into His rest-Yeshua`s rest.
Are you striving for something today?
In Col. 1:29 it says to allow holy Spirit to strive-work-on your behalf.
Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.The word for worketh in Greek is energeia, which is not human but the supernatural power or energy of Holy Spirit working His strength through us.

THE LOVING FATHER

*Translate into your own language by clicking the icon to the right of the screen.*

Have you ever truly meditated on the story of the LOVING FATHER?
You may know it as the story of the "prodigal."  It actually IS all about what the Father did and very little to do with the son.  The only thing the son did was DECIDE to come home!  This is about complete GRACE, unmerited favor!

Here is the scripture;
Luke 15: 
¹¹ Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. ¹² The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.
¹³ “Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. ¹⁴ After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. ¹⁵ So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. ¹⁶ He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.
¹⁷ “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! ¹⁸ I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. ¹⁹ I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’ ²⁰ So he got up and went to his father.
“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.
²¹ “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
²² “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. ²³ Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. ²⁴ For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.

This is  so significant.  Why?  This is exactly what Yeshua has done for us.
First of all , the Father(Abba) beckons to us to come into His house, just as the Father in the story.
The Father seats you in His house in heavenly places with Yeshua.   He has put a ring(covenant) on your finger, and your feet are shod with the gospel of peace.  There is a celebration in heaven over every person who asks for the blood covering.  The feast is the communion we have with the Father because of Yeshua now and in the future eternally.
This IS our inheritance now in the Lord.  It is immediate!  You do not have to DO anything(works).  No, He did it all for you just because you made the decision to come back home.  Where ever you are, the Father will run out to meet you!
He is in love with you.

MORE THAN YOU CAN HANDLE

*Translate into your own language by clicking the icon to the right of the screen.*

Many, including myself, have interpreted this scripture 1 Cor. 10:13  wrongly;
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

This is speaking of temptation, this is NOT speaking of God NOT giving you more than you can handle.  When people say this or state this, just know that it is NOT in the BIBLE.  
The Lord does give us more than we can handle because it is NOT WE WHO HANDLE IT!  It is at this moment of, (more than we can handle), that we surrender and turn our situation over to the Lord.  We have to say, "Your strength is made perfect in my weakness,"  YOU HANDLE IT LORD.
I take my hands OFF the situation or circumstance.  I let go and let God.  Yes, that little saying can take on a whole new meaning when we truly allow the Lord to take over the situation or problem that we face.

The Lord says, He WILL walk with us through the fire, He will NOT allow the raging waters to cover our heads.  He will never leave you or forsake you. Holy Spirit lives on the inside of you.  He will NEVER leave you.  Trust in His love today.  He has peace and joy for your troubled heart TODAY!

Isaiah 43
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
    I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
² When you pass through the waters,
    I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
    they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
    you will not be burned;
    the flames will not set you ablaze.
³ For I am the Lord your God,
    the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;

When things happen that we do not understand in life-just KNOW that it is for God`s Glory to be shown and known through the situation! If no body was sick God would not be able to show His Glory when the healing happens. When things are taken away from us and we do not understand it is often to protect us even though we do not see the danger or comprehend the plan that God has for our lives or the lives of others.

Job 1
21 The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away;
    may the name of the Lord be praised.”  
²² In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing.

If you are a parent there are things in life that you keep your child from doing or from having.
It is for the child`s own good that something is taken away.  The parent sees the danger and prevents it by taking things away.  We often look at this as the work of the enemy, but I am here to tell you today it is God`s way of protecting you from things that you have no idea of.  We often, in our finite minds think of something as an attack of Satan because we cannot see the big plan God has.  Just because it is the opposite of your plan or totally goes against what you imagined for your life does not mean it is an act of Satan.  Stop giving the enemy credit for something that was actually God closing a door to protect you.  What is it that you are Mad or bitter at God for allowing something you thought He could and should have stopped?
This is where the action of faith, belief and surrender to God`s will for your life comes into view.
Can you see it?  Ask Him to show you His picture/vision for your life.
I promise He will.  Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened unto you.
The Word says that God opens doors that no man can shut and CLOSES doors that NO MAN can open.
The afflictions of Job were a test,  Job died a very wealthy man and full of years.
Now we are covered by the blood, but not everything is always perfect in our lives.  These things cause us to be dependent upon the Lord, without them no one would need the Lord.
Today I say, "I need you O I need you, every hour I need you Lord."

Do you have a hard time believing that you are forgiven and set free?
I want you to know today that it IS done!

Psalms 103
(1) Bless Adonai, my soul!

Everything in me, bless his holy name!

2 Bless Adonai, my soul,

and forget none of his benefits!
3 He forgives all your offenses,

he heals all your diseases,

4 he redeems your life from the pit,

he surrounds you with grace and compassion,

5 he contents you with good as long as you live,

so that your youth is renewed like an eagle’s.
 

THE SON OF THE FATHER-YOU and ME

*Translate into your own language by clicking the icon to the right of the screen.*

This is a very famous story.
Did you know that the son of the Father (Barabass) was released and redeemed and the TRUE Son of the Father (Yeshua) was punished on his behalf and on behalf of the whole world?
The name Barabass in Hebrew means son “bar” of the Father “abba”.  See, there is nothing written in the Word of God that is by chance.  Even a man whose name was Bar Abba, Son of the Father, was released and the Divine Son of the Father (Yeshua) took his place in death.  Barabass represented all mankind`s  release from the bondage of sin.  Barabass`s  punishment
that he deserved as a murderer was placed upon Yeshua.
The picture here is literally the children of the Father(US), being released by the death of Yeshua.
Meditate on this symbolic picture for a moment.

Here is the Scripture;
 13 Pilate then called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, 14 and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was misleading the people. And after examining him before you, behold, I did not find this man guilty of any of your charges against him. 15 Neither did Herod, for he sent him back to us. Look, nothing deserving death has been done by him. 16 I will therefore punish and release him.”
 18 But they all cried out together, “Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas”— 19 a man who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection started in the city and for murder. 20 Pilate addressed them once more, desiring to release Jesus, 21 but they kept shouting, “Crucify, crucify him!” 22 A third time he said to them, “Why, what evil has he done? I have found in him no guilt deserving death. I will therefore punish and release him.” 23 But they were urgent, demanding with loud cries that he should be crucified. And their voices prevailed. 24 So Pilate decided that their demand should be granted. 25 He released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, for whom they asked, but he delivered Jesus over to their will.

Today we  have been released from the charge of spiritual insurrection (choosing our own way).  Barabass did not deserve to be released, he actually has committed the acts that he was charged for.  But Yeshua! This is the same undeserved favor and grace that has been given to us. Believe that Yeshua was punished in your place.   Walk in Yeshua`s freedom today.  Did Barabass walk out of prison a free man?  You bet he did!  Whatever prison you are held inside today, surrender to Yeshua today.  He already has released you from the prison.  Walk in His freedom, trust Him, Believe Him!
Yeshua IS for You, He is not against you.  He took your punishment upon Him self, and you are free!

YOUR SHEPHERD IS SPEAKING TO YOU

 *Translate into your own language by clicking the icon to the right of the screen.*

You do not have to teach a baby the voice of the Mother.
 -Joseph Prince-

The fact is that people DO hear the voice of God all the time - but we chose to not listen to it or we 

sometimes say that the thing we are hearing is coming from our own mind, thus why should we 

listen to it?  It is either the flesh speaking or the Holy Spirit speaking.  When we learn the Word of God then

 we will be able to discern the difference between the flesh and Holy Spirit.

May your day be Blessed today as you listen, TRUST and obey the voice of the Shepherd.

^{John 10
11} “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. ¹² The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. ¹³ The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.
¹⁴ “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— ¹⁵ just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.

Today, hear the voice of the Shepherd in your own heart.  The Shepherd IS speaking to you today!

It is NOT about somebody telling you.  It is about you hearing Your Personal Shepherd`s beautiful 

voice.  His voice is not the voice of a stranger.  His voice will speak Shalom, wholeness and 

completeness over your body, soul and spirit Now, in the Name of Yeshua, the Shepherd!
 

²⁸ Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. ²⁹ Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. ³⁰ For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

WATER FLOWING

*Translate into your own language by clicking the icon to the right of the screen.*

 Never allow another person`s actions to control how you see yourself.  That is TOO much power to give to another human being.  If people don`t have the ability to discern the inner riches of your treasure, that is their problem.-T. D. Jakes-

Just know that the one who rejects you does not have the ability to see the inside of you.  Remember you are God`s son/daughter-you are His and his mercy never stops flowing.  Even when we do not get it right time after time.  Yeshua`s love is unconditional, there are no conditions to His love.  

I want you to picture the Niagara Water Falls.  There are millions of gallons of water that flow per minute over the rocks and if you have ever been to see this place; it is totally memorizing.  Picture Yeshua at the top of the Falls with the water pouring from Himself.  This is the picture of unconditional love.  The quantity of Yeshua`s love is immense and  unlimited just like the physical water is immense and unlimited.  Yeshua had to spread out His arms from East to West, symbolizing infinity to infinity when He died.  Psalms 103:12 says our failures are cast, as far as the east is from the west.    Micah 7:19 says, He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. 
The greatest thing you can do is to surrender to Yeshua`s love, mercy and grace.  Allow Yeshua to be in control, to take over.  Yeshua will love the emptiness and sadness and loneliness.  He will never reject you of leave you alone.  He alone is the ONE who is able to accomplish this inside you. 
Imagine those millions of gallons of water flowing over you, cleaning/washing the junk away and filling you and it never stopping!  Yeshua said to the woman at the well that He wanted to give her spiritual water so that she would never thirst again.  This same water is available for you today no matter what you have done in your past, in the present or in the future.

DO NOT TEAR YOUR GARMENT

 Something I was reminded of by Holy Spirit;
God does not call the equipped-
But God equips those whom He has called.

May this New Year be Blessed and filled with
ALL that Holy Spirit has for each one of us and our families.
May it be a year to be united in the Calling that God has placed
upon our lives.  I praise Him that He WILL equip whatever physical or
spiritual deficit we may have.  May only Yeshua be Praised as we
Worship Him.  It IS Yeshua + Nothing=Everything!
The Lord IS singing and dancing over you! Zeph 3:17 
CAN YOU HEAR HIM AND SEE HIM?

I love these passages.
Lev. 10:6
and do not tear your clothes,

The garments of the priests represented the CALL God had placed upon their lives. They were never to take away or rip away or change the call God had placed upon their lives.

Joel 2:13
rend your hearts and not your garments.

We ask God to search our hearts, but we are not to question or put aside the CALLING He has on our life.

 The High Priest garment was literally made of a coat of mail, so even if the priest tried to tear
his garment, he could NOT!  We cannot tear the garment OFF that Holy Spirit has placed
upon our lives.   The garment is the call.  What CALL has God issued for your life today?
If you do not understand what you are called to, then cry out before the Lord for an answer.  He will answer you.
You were known before you were conceived and were CALLED into being to fulfill the plan and purpose that God has for your life.  Walk into that call this year.
Remember, Holy Spirit will equip you for the task at hand.  Do not worry or fret about things you do not understand.  Surrender it all to the King, He will take you to where He wants you to be.
