MESSAGE "The Seekers"

"You are My special treasure.  
Special ... what does it mean?  
To Me, it means extraordinary, rare, chosen, desired, cherished, sought-after, hand-picked, original, valued, beloved.


You are all of these to Me. 
You are much loved.  
I have seen your devotion to Me, despite seemingly insurmountable circumstances.



You have sought Me, as I have sought you.  
I am a rewarder of those who diligently seek Me ... and you fit into that category!


Many afflictions, tests, trials, hardships, sicknesses, troubles, and predicaments have hindered your life with Me ... but still, you press on!  
I am very interested , and keenly involved with those who travel such adverse routes to find Me.


As an explorer, adventurer, or discoverer ... such are My sheep that scale the treacherous slopes in search of Me.  
I am leading you ... and I love those who love Me ... especially those who choose to follow Me.


Continue your journey ... for I am close to you always.  
My voice - the Shepherd's voice - will continue to lead you on.



I, your Shepherd, wait for each one of you, to make it securely into My eternal fold."

MESSAGE "A Vanguard" (repost from 2013)

"I am raising it up ... a vanguard ... a frontline ... a forerunner group. 
It will consist of seasoned -and brand new- soldiers of My Cross. My saints-in-training have been put through their steps, have gone through extensive preparation for this work.
They will be *advance* troops ... a pre-cursor to what will ensue....what will follow (them).


This vanguard (frontline ) will be heard before they are seen. 
They will move stealthily in advance of Me. 
They will be attuned to My very whisper(s) ... and they will hearken (listen attentively) to My orders. 
We will work as a team...as a common unit....as an anointed, moving vessel.

-pause-

This newly-established grouping will be a powerful one ... one made strong by (their) weaknesses. 
For, you see, I use those whom the world (and the church) has rejected. 
I will work through broken, torn, maimed vessels. 
These are My potter's jewels ... My most valued fragments of life-force. 
My very tears have dropped upon them.
They bear the scars of My healings, coming through devastating circumstances. 
These fragile-yet-strong disciples have indeed *paid the price* of following the Saviour.
They have not followed the crowd(s) ... they have chosen the hard way, the difficult path(s).


They did not relax and bask in luxury,  or fanciful comfort. 
These have suffered long and wide  ... over decades (sometimes) and years upon years of hurt, pain, loneliness, sicknesses never-ending, losses, merciless abuses, and many dangerous routes.

Their lives have been ripped apart, torn wide open, shredded to bits and pieces. 
They have been dragged through the mire, nearly drowned in despair (many-a-time) ... and have had their security pulled right out from under them, time and again.


These are my star warriors ... and my fledgling scouts. 
I know their hearts ... I've tried them ... tested them consistantly ... took them through their *paces* many times ... I see how they respond.


I know those who are Mine ... many 'say' they are of Me ... yet I never knew them. 
These are confident (that) I am in their midst ... yet I do not know them.  
{Do I *know* you ... dear reader? }


-pause-


Yes, many, many will say *Lord, Lord!*... and will presume to be with Me in the eternal ...YET I never *met* them in their lifetimes. They are strangers to Me, as it were. 
I know those humble ones -- those shattered souls ... those empty shells of humans ... THESE I know!


The proud I turn away(from) ... My eyes pass over the arrogant ... 
I am not concerned with pride, selfish hearts, nor vanity. 
I look to the contrite, broken ones ... those who indeed suffered ... in raw emotion and in cutting, brutal, physical affliction ... 
many for endless hours, months, years, decades.
Yes, many still suffer and cry to Me every second of your day.


Their cries do not go unnoticed. 
I will make things right in due time. 
The pain, the sorrow, the turmoil, the vexation, the evil ... 
will one day be no more. 
It will be in the far past ... away, gone, banished for ever.


There will be a day of vindication, of defense ... for those who suffer. 
I AM YOUR DEFENSE ...  
Man's help is limited ... 
I ... I, alone...am your rescue ... your redeemer ... your Friend.


-pause-


My vanguard will be free ... it will be blanketed by My presence, My love, My power. 
I will be in the very midst ... the *eye* of this Holy storm troopers. We will forge our way ... gathering in places of My choosing ... areas not (always) known to man ... and not conducive to travel ... etc. 
It will be as I see fit in My decisions.


{end?}

-pause-

Don't let your heart be troubled
... neither let it be afraid. 
I am with you, even unto the end. 
I am in charge of time ... of history as you know it. 
It will be a mighty work ... as a machine ... as a generator of power. 
We will know one another in the spiritual sense ... we will know how the others have (also) suffered and lived by patience.
The waiting will be well worth every tear, every pain, every insult ... every rejection (or) abandonment.


Those who are first now, shall one day be the last ... 
the ones in the back. 
Have I not told you (that) if you "humble yourself in My sight, I will lift you up"? 
That is what is happening. 
I see those with true mercy and compassion ... they are dear to My heart. 
I will reward ... I will lead them to green pastures ... I will be in their midst. 
My presence will be apparent.


Keep a watch, and a listening ear - for My signs, My cues, My signals ... My *hints*. 
I will lead you. 
Great is our journey."

Michael W Smith -- Here I Am

There's a place where I can go

Where the angels hear me pray
"I want to change
Yes I need Your touch"
I'm waiting here for You

And I fall, at Your feet
I'll give it all, until the day we meet
Here I am
Ready to give up my life for the One
Here I am
Ready to pour out my heart for the Son
Here I am

Here I come to Your threshing floor
Where the angels fear to tread
I'm waiting here for the King of love
And to hold the hands that bled

And I fall, at Your feet
I'll give it all, until the day we meet

Here I am
Ready to give up my life for the One
Here I am
Ready to pour out my heart for the Son
Here I am
ready to give up my life for the one
Here I am
ready to pour out my life for the Son

Missing Person- Michael W Smith

Another question in me

One for the powers that be
It's got me thrown
And so I put on my poker face
And try to figure it out
This undeniable doubt
A common occurence
Feeling so out of place
Guarded and cynical now
Can't help but wondering how
My heart evolved into
A rock beating inside of me
So I feel such a stoic ordeal
Where's that feeling that I don't feel

There was a boy who had the faith to move a mountain
And like a child he would believe without a reason
Without a trace he disappeared into the void and
I've been searchin' for that missing person

Under a lavender moon
So many thoughts consume me
Who dimmed that glowing light
That once burned so bright in me
Is this a radical phase
A problematical age
That keeps me running
From all that I used to be

Is there a way to return
Is there a way to unlearn
That carnal knowledge
That's chipping away at my soul
I've been gone too long
Will I ever find my way home

[
There was a boy who had the faith to move a mountain
And like a child he would believe without a reason
Without a trace he disappeared into the void and
I've been searchin' for that missing person

He used to want to try to walk the straight and narrow
He had a fire and he could feel it in the marrow
It's been a long time and I haven't seen him lately
but I've been searchin' for that missing person

Until The Time

MESSAGE "Dead Disciples"

"Beloved, believe not every spirit (that) you encounter 
... for many will come in My name and they are not (of) Me.

I travel alone, as it were. 
I need no proteges, no 'posses', no processions, no paparazzi. 
I am come that you might have life, and that more abundantly.   
I seek and save those that are lost, those hurtling into hell, in the grips of the devil. 
I  have no need of 'other gods';   other 'messiahs, 'other jesuses' ... they are (but) a stink, a stench in My nose.


I (also) have no need of a dead church, of dead believers, of dead disciples
 ... without works, without fruit, without results, without action, without proofs;  
... there is no faith, no real faith, no reality (of ) Me, nor reason to believe, no actionary effect, no catalyst, nothing 
... just death.


I am the LIVING god, not the dead god.  
I am the God of the living, not the dead! 

Come and see My works, hear of My marvelous workings, My awesome feats,  come and see, come and hear;  come one, come all.


But what is there to see? 
to hear (about)? 
What is there to show (of) Me, of My wondrous works?

Where are you, oh church? 
Where are you My true church? 
where are you My truest ones; .... My dear, abiding ones? 


Where, where oh where, has My little flock gone? 
the ones to whom I've entrusted My riches?? 
My spiritual bounty? 
My invisible wealth? 
My unseen power? 
the ones whom I've given a foretaste of Heaven (to)? 
the ones who have 'tasted and seen' that I am indeed good? 
the ones who have seen, heard, listened, felt, desired, sought after; ... found My anointing? 
My precious, blood-bought anointing?



Where are you, oh My loves ... My loved ones? 
My dear, ragged sheep? My rebels? 
My rebellious flock? 
My strays? 
My wounded ones?  
My bleeding hearts? 
My weak, vulnerable, sensitive ones? 
My little bleating baby lamblings? 
Where are you  ...?  

.... I am calling ....



*pause*



Enter into My rest .... and enter into My glory;  My presence of peace .... 
Shred away the old man, the old ways, the death and the dying 
.... pursue Me, pursue Me as you never have before 
.... speak to Me from your place of hurt, your place of fury, your place of unbelief 
... that restless place you (now) find yourself in 
... SPEAK!! 


Speak to ME, for I am listening 
... I am 'on call'
... I am here for you 
... I am listening 
... I bend down to you and I listen."

PSALM 18

PSALM 18

"I will love You, Oh Lord, my strength.

The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in Whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from my enemies.

The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.

The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.

In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: He heard my voice out of His temple, and my cry came before Him, even into His ears.

Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because He was wroth.

There went up a smoke out of His nostrils, and fire out of His mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under His feet.

And He rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, He did fly upon the wings of the wind.

He made darkness His secret place; His pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

At the brightness that was before Him, His thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.

The Lord also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave His voice; hail stones and coals of fire.

Yea, He sent out His arrows, and scattered them; and He shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.

Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at Your rebuke, Oh Lord, at the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.

He sent from above, He took me, He drew me out of many waters.

He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.

They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay.

He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because He delighted in me.

The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands has He recompensed me.

For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

For all His judgments were before me, and I did not put away His statutes from me.

I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from my iniquity.

Therefore has the Lord recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His eyesight.

With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful; with an upright man You will show Yourself upright;

With the pure You will show thyself pure; and with the froward You will show Yourself froward.

For You will save the afflicted people; but will bring down high looks.

For You will light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.

For by You I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.

As for God, His way is perfect: the Word of the Lord is tried: He is a buckler to all those that trust in Him.

For who is God save (except, but) the Lord? or who is a rock save (besides) our God?

It is God that girds me with strength, and makes my way perfect.

He makes my feet like hinds’ (deer’s) feet, and sets me upon my high places.

He teaches my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

You have also given me the shield of Your salvation: and Your right hand has held me up, and Your gentleness has made me great.

You have enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.

I have pursued my enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again until they were consumed.

I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.

For You have girded me with strength unto the battle: You have subdued under me, those that rose up against me.

You have also given me the necks of my enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.

They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the Lord, but He answered them not.

Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.

You have delivered me from the strivings of the people; and You have made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.

As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.

The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.

The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.

It is God that avengeth me, and subdues the people under me.

He delivers me from my enemies: yea, You lift me up above those that rise up against me: You have delivered me from the violent man.

Therefore will I give thanks unto You, Oh Lord, among the heathen, and sing praises unto Your name.

Great deliverance gives He to His king; and shows mercy to His anointed, to David, and to His seed for evermore.”

MESSAGE "He Cleans Us Up"

"A sinner saved by grace.  That is what you are.
My grace, My mercy, has pardoned you ... has *let you off the hook*.
You are forgiven of all sins.

You are cleansed from the power of sin.
Sin has no more dominion (power, ownership, rule) over you.
I have overcome the power of sin and death.
My sacrifice (Jesus' death) has made a way for you ... for all.

He has died, so that you may live. His death brings life.


-pause-


Let all the earth adore Him.  He is their King.  He is worthy of all honor and praise. Let all them which name the Name of the Lord say so.
Let them shout (out) His glorious Name! Let them sing and shout for joy! Let all the world know of our glorious King ... for, yes, indeed, He is Most Worthy.


Worthy is He ... worthy is the Lamb...worthy is the Lamb that was slain.  Worthy also is His blood.  His blood was shed for you ... for every one of you.
His sacrifice has brought YOU eternal life.
He is your great Defender ... He has *bargained* with The Judge ... to get you leniency ... to get you (a) pardon ... to gain your release, your eternal freedom!

He is your Mediator (He = Jesus Christ).
The Son of God is your Lawyer.
He has presented your *case* to His Father ... (the Judge).
If you have *signed* the deal, and agreed to its humble terms, then you are eligible for the *eternal benefits*.
You will receive LIFE EVERLASTING ... when you pass from this life to the next.

 (*Note:  Do not presume to know IF a person is going to Heaven, or not. We are not to judge...God sees the hearts, and He has great mercy. We are NOT God!)


-pause-


What God has cleansed, let no man call unclean!  I am the *washer*... I do the cleaning.
It is My job to *clean house*.... that is, the soul and body.
I  will purify you, as you come (unto) Me.
I will lead you.
Let My love open some doors for you.  I am well able to supply your needs.
When a person has come to Me, I will (then) proceed to begin the *cleaning* process ... the restoration, the freeing, the cleansing.
This is a process, usually.

Do not fret over your past.

Do not allow the evil one (Satan) to condemn you.
He is a liar, and an accuser! He is also a great thief ... stealing lives, careers, health.
I despise him, with a holy hatred.

He needs to be put down.
He knows that his time is short, so he has begun a full-fledged effort against you,  and all who earnestly follow Me.
If you seek to follow Me, you WILL face opposition of some form.


Don't be amazed when people reject you.
They are ignorant of Me, of My Spirit.

They know not what they do.
If they only would seek Me, I would (surely) show Myself to them.
I yearn to be part of people's lives ... to sit amongst them, to talk and listen, to dine, to commune, to take the bread and the wine.
 (In remembrance of Him ... Communion.)


*******

So, yes, My grace is sufficient for you ... for ALL your sins.
It is also enough for the sin of the whole world.
My grace is sufficient for you, for all.
My blood covers all.
My forgiveness is available to ANYBODY.


Search high and low for Me,
says the Lord,
for I am like unto a pearl of great price
... costly and rare."
