~ Heart To Heart ~
(Caps used throughout for Divine emphasis)
(October 4, 2014)
You are most welcome here!
This ~ is from 'my heart to your heart' so grab your favorite 'puter drink' and nestle in.
Why this? Because....
This ~ was birthed as I was enjoying our first lit log this season burning in our fireplace ... early this morning.
While agreeing with Father to have His Holy way in and between us all ~ this ~ is what He gave me to do ~ today.
(I could term this a 'fireside chat' if you will, along with using fireside graphics as my theme. I'm not so inclined.
First, 'thank you so very much for coming by to visit' today.
May you be Blessed by the Holy Spirit herein. After all ~ it IS all about JESUS now isn't it!
If you happen to be a first time visitor, I welcome you and ask you to come back repeatedly.
As Mary 'chose the weightier matter' of sitting at Christ's feet to hear His teachings, so do I and pass it onto you.
He is sweet. He knows it all ~ He cares.
Second, I thank those of you who come by on a regular basis, from all around the world ~ many of you, daily. God Bless you!
You ~ minister to us ~ time and time again by your constant visits and recognition of 'the call of God' on this lady of His.
You! ~ Have 'encouraged and comforted us', fellow laborers in Christ and brethren.
In particular, to you dear brethren IN Christ who are going through great persecution, (some being tortured at this very time) ~ paying prices for your own Loving Devotion to Christ! ~ those of you enduring persecution and great pain and some daily torture .. in numerous places in this world including Iran, Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana who come consistently to this ministry site ~ We are thankful for your many visits here ~ for the 'food for the soul' He gives you here and for the Sacred privilege we have to equip, strengthen and love you In Christ our Lord. Wonderful Jesus.
We thank Father for you and pray for you!
We pray too, for your families that suffer alongside you and/or apart from where you presently are.
Hebrews 13: 3
" Remember them that are in bonds (imprisoned, tortured),
as bound with them;
and them which suffer adversity,
as being yourselves also in the body. "
Exhortation: As The Holy Word of God comes into your mind, speak those Scriptures forth to whomever. That is God. Light! His Word does not return unto Him void but shall accomplish what He has sent it to do, for His purpose. Those very Scriptures are His GOD 'seed' for you to 'plant into' their mind. Then thank Him for having His way.
Mark 13: 11 Jesus said:
" But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up,
take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak,
neither do ye premeditate:
but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour,
that speak ye:
for it is not ye that speak,
but The Holy Ghost."
Like any seed (of any kind) that we sow, it takes some time for it to germinate, take root and erupt with visible growth. For awhile, we see no evidence of 'change' e.g. the 'harvest of that seed we sowed'. Yet, His Holy Word and Holy Spirit 'is at work' INside them. One day, that is what others shall see.
Key:~
He is with you. He won't leave you. He said so and He does what He said He would. Regardless of how you hurt through this reproach of persecution for your faith, 'He knew He could trust you to be faithful to Him and souls, throughout this test'....
And Third, yes ~ you come here expecting ~ and get your inner man fed, uplifted, comforted, encouraged ~ all the while ~ receiving His Strength to your soul. It is my Sacred privilege to be His Hand extended to you across the miles. What a precious opportunity that He and you have given this preacher ~ I deeply appreciate you for that. Divinity rules here. It's all about Jesus and His Words to us. This is the work of The Holy Spirit. He always brings attention to Jesus Christ ~ and He produces holiness continually.
Another time now, you've listened from your heart while you visit here ~ cried, praised, and been nurtured at His feet. Built up again by His Holy Spirit and leaving ~ you go to reach souls with Jesus Christ your 'Lord'.
Fourth, ~ in our prayer room here in our home, is a large globe of the earth. As I lay hands on it as a point of contact 'touching you all throughout our world', I pray believing, and stand in agreement with God ... 'for' you!
Distance in between (as we see on the internet) doesn't matter.
We joyfully preach This Beloved Gospel all over the World.
Remember when Abraham prayed in his own City for Lot and his family who lived in another City? ~
GOD sent His Holy Angels on the scene, and they ~ delivered Lot and his family out. Divine Intervention. ('I change not.')
We pray here and God Himself Divinely intervenes there.
It doesn't matter who, what, where or why. What always matters is 'when'!! ~ GOD comes on the scene and things happen! There is great, great Power at hand when a 'Faithful' saint prays in love and faith for....
Whether folks believe it or not; think of it or not; want it or not ~ GOD arrives and changes everything and everyone. He's The GREAT CONVINCER!!!
Isaiah 62: 10 ~ 12
" Go through, go through the gates;
Prepare ye The Way of the people;
Cast up, cast up The Highway; gather out the stones;
Lift Up a Standard (holy) for the people.
Behold, The Lord hath Proclaimed unto the end of the world,
Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy Salvation cometh;
behold, (look) His reward is with Him,
and His work before Him.
And they shall call them, The Holy people,
The Redeemed of The Lord:
and thou shalt be called,
Sought out, A city not forsaken. "
Before Father God and you all, I am thankful for this open heart-to-heart letter of appreciation He ordained today. One day we shall see one another in Heaven eye-to-eye. JOY! We are Beloved 'members of His Family in The Body of Christ'. ( See: 1 Corinthians 12, Romans 8, Galatians 5: 22, 23 and 1 Corinthians 13 )
Leviticus 20: 7, 8
" Sanctify yourselves therefore, and Be ye Holy:
for I AM The Lord your God.
And ye shall keep My Statutes, and do them:
I AM The Lord which Sanctify you. "
Fifth, thank you for reading and taking to heart ~ these words from my heart to yours! Shalom.
Psalms 24: 1 ~ 10
"The earth is The Lord's, and the fulness thereof;
the World, and they that dwell therein.
For He hath Founded it upon the Seas,
and Established it upon the Floods.
Who shall Ascend into The Hill of The Lord?
or who SHALL STAND IN HIS HOLY PLACE?
He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart;
who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity,
nor sworn deceitfully.
He shall receive the Blessing from The Lord,
and Righteousness from The God of his Salvation.
This is the generation of them that SEEK Him,
that SEEK THY Face, ...
Lift up your heads, O ye gates;
and be ye Lift Up, ye Everlasting Doors;
and The King of Glory shall Come IN.
Who IS this King of Glory?
The Lord Strong and Mighty, THE LORD MIGHTY IN BATTLE.
Lift up your heads, O ye gates;
even lift them up, ye Everlasting Doors;
and The King of Glory shall Come in.
Who is This King of Glory?
The Lord of Hosts, HE IS THE KING of GLORY. "
