Promises of God for the Afflicted - Dr. Lester Sumrall

MESSAGE "I Am Jealous of Your Love" (from file vaults)

"So many things take your attention. 
They take your time. 
They steal your thoughts. 
They are many, and they are relentless.


These *things* are often considered (as) 'good'. 
Music, computer talks, study, family matters, working, playing, laughing, and even praying...are all good in themselves.


But, they are too 'bossy'.


Things can control. 
Things DO control. 
Things are considered 'mammon'...and things become idols...or things of worship and adoration.


Things can become addictive, habitual, mind-numbing...and soul-snatching. 
Be wary when things run your life.


*******


*I* am the Ruler of your life...if you have given Me that control.


I am the authority...the one in charge...the LORD of your life. 
(OR, am I?)


Yes, you have claimed Me as your 'Lord and Saviour'. 
Yet, you continue to ignore and defy Me. 
How long shall I bear this?


My heart is grieved. I am desiring your voluntary love towards Me. I will not coerce you to love Me. 
Never!


I desire affection that is willing...not a bondage. 
Freely come to me...and freely love Me.


I make NO robots!


*******


I search for broken, shattered hearts. 
I am near to the broken-hearted. 
I desire to come into these empty hearts...into YOUR heart.


You need Me. 
I created you (all human beings) to be with Me...to have a void only I can fill.


*******


I am your God and your true love. 
I love you as no other! 
I love you (each and every one of you) with (the) deepest devotion and desire for good.


My love is not of the world. 
My love is supernatural: *above* the natural. 
It is not of this world.

MESSAGE "The High and Lofty One" (from files)

(I 'heard' two times in spirit: "I will give you a new word.")

**********************

"Before time ever was, I am.
I am.
I was.
I will be.
I am.
I am.

*******

I created all the forests. 
The trees are My design. 
I planted the flowers, the vines, the mosses. 
I am your ultimate landscaper.


I show the squirrels where to live. I give cozy hideouts to the deer, the foxes, the raccoons, the skunks.


I bring out the stars to twinkle and shine each night. My moon gives it's light and the night owls sing their songs. The night is alive. Many sleep, but, oh, many are awake!


-pause-



You can only see the glow of the fireflies at night. 
And, doesn't the snow glitter like diamonds in the moonlight?


Sometimes you catch a view of the *moving skies*
...(the) aurora borealis. 
This is simlar to My Heavenly skylines.


*******

I am your ultimate Artist.


*******

I design. 
I build. 
I create. 
I shadow. 
I lighten. 
I add dimension, texture, shading, etc. 
I bring beauty, colour, passion to the earth.


I am the Maker of lights...the Father of lights. 
I am light.


(In Me is no darkness. 
This means there is no evil within Me: 
only Light, Love and Holiness.)


*******


You know I speak in the *night seasons*, often more than the day times. (Times of daylight and busy times.) 
I am heard clearer in the silence, of course. 
I am perceived more readily when noise and distractions are removed.


-pause-


The night is also a time of evil.
More sin is committed in the cloak of darkness. 
Demons prowl and roam the atmosphere.


-pause-


Creatures of evil often manifest at night. 
Spiritual wickedness thrives in (the) evil, sinful, dark environments.


Many crimes of drunkenness and debauchery occur in the night times. 
Many prisoners of the night mistakenly think their deeds are secret, but I see what is done.
(I see in the night the same as in the day.)


-pause-


Gross spiritual darkness is encroaching over the entire earth. 
(The whole earth lies in wickedness.)


-pause-


Many of My children are stumbling in this darkness. 
Many will fall; many have fallen already. 
Your enemy lurks about, and thrives in this dark atmosphere.


*******


But...you are not alone. 
You have a Defender. 
Your hero has Light! 
He is the light of the world...
Greater is His light, than the darkness of the world. 
He overcomes the world...and all it's tribulation.


*******


In the Name of the Lord Jesus, all darkness must flee. 
In His true Holy Presence, is purity of Light and of Holiness
... and of true Joy from His Holy Spirit.


With the shield of faith - of fiery faith! - you can deflect all the false fiery darts and arrows of the enemy.


The helmet of salvation gives you hope, confidence, and a birthright to your Heavenly Father and of eternal life.


Wearing the breastplate of righteousness gives all of you My Son's gift of righteousness. You are made Holy in My sight by Jesus.


When your 'loins' are covered by My Truth, you are protected. 
The truth is freedom;   and, it is reality. 
I am Truth.


Are your feet 'shod' (covered and prepared) with My Gospel? 
My GOOD news? 
Do you know all My benefits? (All My GOOD-ness and GOOD things?)
I am a GOOD God. 
My Gospel is good.


And, My little warriors, do you use the SWORD I've provided? 
It is not to be used foolishly. 
My Sword is My living Word: My *rhema* Word.


*******


You must know My *logos* Word, to be able to effectively use the *rhema*. 
Rhema is more specific;  more appropriate for a certain situation. Many use their swords carelessly.


I must warn about using (wielding) the sword of My Spirit in a vengeful, or cruel, or haphazard(ly), or casual, or wrong manner.


Many use My Word (My Sword) in a self-seeking way: to achieve control or to gain attention.


Some use My Word to injure others or to condemn. 
(Remember, My enemy knows My word very well, and is an expert at twisting My words.)


-pause-


Thieves work well in the dark... they come upon people unaware...those asleep. 
This is a warning concerning My return. 
Will you also be asleep and unaware at My coming?


Will I be as a *thief in the night* to you and your household? 
Will you be waiting and watching for Me, or will you be out carousing, partying, getting drunk and drugged...and involved in sexual sins or acts of violence?


*******

Will you remain humble as you wait, or will you become embittered, brazen and rebellious? 
Will you join the world in it's dark charade:  it's *masquerade of death*?


*******


(This message is for ALL; for ALL are invited and are loved by the Father: He is never willing that ANY should perish...)


*******


Yes, the Evil One flourishes within the shrouds of black:  but I am higher and brighter than the darkest night. 
I am the High and Lofty One. 
I dwell in the Most high place...I am the Most High God."

Russ Taff - Table in the Wilderness

The Book of Luke | KJV - narrated by Alexander Scourby

MESSAGE "A Table In The Wilderness" (reposted)

"You have come to the table again.
 The Table in the wilderness. 
Your table in your wilderness. 
 I will give you something for your hunger.

-pause-


You have merely 'scratched the surface' of My intentions for you (towards you)... regarding your life. 
There is so much more I have in store for you (and for all who diligently seek Me). 
 Stand fast in your pursuit of Me. 
 Yes, the battle rages (and wages) on - as it has throughout many civilizations. 
 But remember, I have not forsaken those who fear Me...who respect Me...who seek Me. 
 I honor My name and My truth.


I will not disregard your cry. 
I am cognizant of all cries, all appeals, all prayers from sincere lips (hearts). 
I hear the wretched heart cries. 
I see (and feel) the heartaches and the brokenness. 
I am not a God that is 'far off' and unfeeling. 
I am near to those of a broken heart. 
Yes, I see and I am going to make all things right in their time. 
I will make the crooked paths straight. 
I will bring peace to the troubled. 
I will comfort the weary. 
I am not willing that any should perish. 
That is My heart cry; My heart desire. 
I want all men, all people(s) to be saved and in My safe haven: My safe hand of protection.

 *****


I guide, I oversee, I put up and I bring down. 
Leaders, empires, nations, principalities...all (are) ultimately in my hand. 
I can do as I please with them. 
They (will) stand or fall by My direction. 
Oh, proud man, you are nothing in My sight. 
You will be humbled and brought low. 
I abhor the proud and the haughty. 
I am well- pleased by humbleness and meekness...those who recognize My sovereignty.

 -pause-


Those in the (natural) world will not understand spiritual matters. But they do see the world stage. 
They are becoming aware. 
Eyes are opening. 
Ears are listening. 
Some hear the call. 
Some will respond... and others will ignore (it). 
I am the caller. 
I am calling. 
Yet.

*****


Yes, ponder the skies. 
Question the spiritual leaders. 
Don't settle for status quo 'pat' answers any more. 
Go the extra mile. 
Go the distance. 
For I am a rewarder of those who diligently seek Me. 
In Me is wisdom. 
In Me is truth. 
In Me is love. 
In Me is security. 
In Me is eternal life. 
Seek Me, your eternal Saviour, and live. 
Seek Me and I will be found (of you). 
Seek Me while I am near. 
Seek Me and you shall find Me...when you search for Me with all your heart."

MESSAGE "His Peace"

9:23am  4/10/20


"I shall rise up with healing in My wings.  I shall arise as the dawn at the horizon.
I shall soar over this land, as an eagle...and (indeed,  I shall) also soar over the entire world, says the Lord.

My peace  will be My hallmark.  Even in the midst of chaos, I shall remain your bulwark (safety)...your anchor...your hiding place.

Yes, I will be the stream of peace...that oasis in the driest desert.

My peace I give unto you...NOT as the world gives, give I unto you.

Drink deep of MY presence...for in Me you shall find your peace.

My love conquers all.  Indeed I am mighty, I am HOLY,   I am all-in-all...but I also am your link to eternity.  I am your *bridge to forever*.


9:27am pause

I come to the humble, and I take down the proud.  Be warned, oh arrogant ones...let not your hearts be lifted high -- for I will crush you as an insect.  Pride comes before a fall.  Let this be a warning and an impetus (compulsion, stimulus) to action:  to repentance!

Change your ways!
Change your hearts!
{Defy (the) arrogant ones--do not fall under their spell...for they will entrap your souls.}

pause

I am preparing to visit the earth...but in MY way, says the LORD.  I will come (as) unexpected.

From Me, you shall gain strength.  From MY SPIRIT, you will gain (a) new life.  From My Son, you will possess forgiveness of (your) sins.  From Me (your Father), you will feel My love...and My chastisement.  I chastise (correct, teach, discipline, correct) My children. 


I love you, My Creation...(yet) I desire ALL to be saved!

Many of you are only concerned with your own lives.  This is wrong.  You need to love all...you need to *love your neighbor as yourself*.

Selfless love is My love.  I came to save the world...that includes ALL...all races, all peoples, all forms of life.

I also care for My extended creation:  the animals.  I treasure them, as I do you.  I have given you (the) companion animals...to show you My love.  Take care of your companions...treat them well...protect them!

*****************************************

pause

I shall pour out (of) My SPIRIT  upon the earth...on ALL FLESH.  Yes--but it will be more of a rescue effort, than a *healing* event...for I am more concerned with (your) eternal souls, and more interested in (your) eternal destination.

I desire ALL people to be saved...to know Me...to be with Me:  both NOW, and in ETERNITY.

I am not willing that ANY should perish!  I came to destroy the works of the enemy (the devil, satan)...and the last enemy to be eliminated is death.

My life will take away the sting (pain, sorrow, fear) of death.  My presence keeps you in perfect peace.  Let My presence, My glory, My peace...enter your soul(s).


9:42 pause

My peace, which passes understanding;   shall keep your hearts and minds, through Christ Jesus.

Remember, (that) the Name of Jesus is higher than ANY other name.

"Cast all your care upon Him, for He cares for you".

I am not a man, that I should lie.  I do not lie, as humans do.  I am the way, the life and the TRUTH.  I am truth.  You can put your trust; your faith, in Me.

Let My truth(s) reign (control, direct) your lives.  Seek Me while I may be found,,,for your time may run out sooner than you think.

To each, a time is granted (planned) to die, and to leave this earth.

You do not know the exact timing of your demise;  of your death...therefore, it is wise to call upon Me, while you have the chance...while you still have time!

Call upon Me, and I will answer you...and I will show you great and mighty things (of) which you know not.

As you call upon Me, I will show you things of My kingdom...and I will be welcoming you when you exit this earthly realm...

I will welcome you, with open arms...as you enter My kingdom.


9:50 pause

Be released from earthly worries.  Let go of anger.  Let go of worry.  Let go of fear.  

Be free! Be free! Be free!

Rise above the clamor (unrest, noise, fury, turmoil)...and rest in Me.



Like (As) it  is written...as I have said...*Come unto Me, all you that are weary and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest*.  

In Me, you shall find rest for your souls."

MESSAGE "Not Of this World" (reposted)

"You are not of this world." - St. John 15:19a


 "You are not of this world. 

You are an 'alien', so to speak. 

You are a stranger; a foreigner, to this world.


Be 'in' this world, but be not 'of ' it. 

You are not your own, you were bought with a Price. 

My Son paid the Price for you. 

He has paid the ultimate Ransom. 

He has made the everlasting Exchange ... His life for yours.



He died that you may live. 

You have accepted this fact. 

You have asked, invited, prayed - for Messiah, My Son, to inhabit your heart; your spirit. 

He has accepted your invitation. 

He has come to dwell within you. 

You are part of His celestial body.


Again, you are not of this world.


You are a pilgrim travelling through a foreign, strange land. You are just passing through. 

This is not your home. 

Heaven is your home. 

-pause- 

Enter My presence with joy ... with thanksgiving. 

This is not (merely) a trite saying: it is survival for you. 

You 'must' praise Me ... for your own good! 

It is not an option: it is mandatory.


Am I a hard taskmaster? 

The reason for My command is for 'your' benefit, not to punish you! 

It is for your well-being ... (for) your connection with Me. 

Praise is a divine connection. 

It is 'plugging into' My atmosphere! 

You need My power. 

I tell you the way. Now, plug in!"
