“Cross My Heart”

I asked the Lord to speak to me, and He put this song in my heart. He’s the best “confirmation”; the Name above every name, the Word made flesh, the very Spirit of prophecy, He is Truth and all we’ll ever need!

Every time I read or sing the lyrics, ‘Just to rest upon His promise,’ I see a picture of a face resting on His heart. A sweet reminder that’s where He wants us, resting upon His heart and loving Him well. Surrender … trust… love … be still and know the promises are safe within the most faithful One who keeps them with all His heart.

“Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to take Him at His word;
Just to rest upon His promise;
Just to know, Thus saith the Lord.

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him,
How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er,
Jesus, Jesus, Precious Jesus!
O for grace to trust Him more.”

Releasing The Treasure

There comes a time where what has been deposited into you by the Spirit and pondered in the heart is to be spoken forth from the mouth. It requires wisdom, patience, humility and fear of the Lord to release such treasures. Though Mary pondered in her heart all that Shepherds had prophecied and spoken – “But Mary treasured all these things, giving careful thought to them and pondering them in her heart.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭2:19‬ ‭AMP‬‬, there came a time to speak them forth and for the mysteries to be made known.

This is a time for the revealing of the Son, His plans, and His purposes; we must speak what the Great Shepherd has deposited within. His revealing brings joy and Glory to the Father. Mary birthed and beheld the sign ~ the shepherds were told about it, where to find it and also spoke of the sign. The King Shepherd is leading … His staff is guiding and His rod protects.

“The good person out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” Luke 6:45

Release the treasure of good news that is on the inside of you!

Fulfilling The Call

Many people wonder why “the call on their life” is not being fulfilled but a fulfilled call begins with Christ making us holy. As the global body we need to rise in maturity, strap up and put our boots on. We must humbly ask the Father the difficult questions about our lives. Scripture writes that God does not change, He is faithful, and that Jesus will fulfill the call over us by making us holy. I believe one of the main reasons we don’t see destiny fulfilled is because the person has not yielded to the work of the Lord; they run from refiners fire, try to escape testing, avoid pruning and the like. Holiness is a requirement to fulfill the call in consecrated devotion, however holiness is not on your terms nor can you make yourself holy. “Now May the God of peace sanctify you”, His peace is found in the yielding and in the surrender. He is the potter, we are the clay. He is calling us higher friends, there is so much more though it requires a surrendered heart, will you trust Him and place your life in His hands?

“Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through [that is, separate you from profane and vulgar things, make you pure and whole and undamaged—consecrated to Him—set apart for His purpose]; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept complete and [be found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful and absolutely trustworthy is He who is calling you [to Himself for your salvation], and He will do it [He will fulfill His call by making you holy, guarding you, watching over you, and protecting you as His own].” ‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5:23-24‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Whom shall I fear?

What can you fear when your eyes are gazing upon the One you love? Your reverence of Him, (fear of the Lord) is the beginning of wisdom, and that wisdom leads to covenant love. Within this covenant is a promise that you can not be forgotten or left behind. Who can hold you captive, when you are captivated by Love?

“And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭10:28‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You have anointed and refreshed my head with oil; My cup overflows.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭23:5‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Love In Obedience Is Heaven’s Success

The greatest gift you could give the Lord in 2022 (and forever will be) is your heart. We love the Lord with a devoted heart to Him through our obedience, as Jesus said, “If you [really] love Me, you will keep and obey My commandments.” John‬ ‭14:15‬ ‭AMP‬‬.

Success in Heaven is measured by having lived a life of obedience to the Lord on earth. “So, beloved, since you are looking forward to these things, be diligent and make every effort to be found by Him [at His return] spotless and blameless, in peace [that is, inwardly calm with a sense of spiritual well-being and confidence, having lived a life of obedience to Him].” ‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3:14‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Who Do You Know?

Who do you know?

The mind of the world focuses on who they know, while the mind of the Spirit focuses on knowing Him.

We were created to receive validation from knowing God, Adam’s eyes opened to see a loving Father admiring His created son. After the fall, most perpetually seek to be known to fulfill this need, but unfortunately the gaze is fixed in the wrong direction or the wrong Person. The system of this world is still striving to be known but by false gods; each other, people with influence, power, etc. These are false gods when the desire is greater to be known by one another than by the One who created you.

When you focus on who you know on this earth it gives a false validation and sense of identity and belonging that creates pride. It is humility to look to God, to be dependent upon Him, to know His ways, to believe Him, obey Him, and love Him.

“Does the Scripture mean nothing to you that says, “The Spirit that God breathed into our hearts is a jealous Lover who intensely desires to have more and more of us”? But he continues to pour out more and more grace upon us. For it says, “God resists you when you are proud but continually pours out grace when you are humble.”” James 4:5-6‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Humility is the doorway to knowing and seeing God.

This attached photo is ”picture art” I made circa 2010 inspired from the humble door I photographed in Africa. So today I am adding an old edited photo with a newly written excerpt that has roots in an ageless message. A message chasing me in my lifetime since I can remember – and perhaps it’s chasing you too … Do you know Him?

Go Low

When you know that you know that you know, but everything is coming up against what you know, go low. He is your great confidence in the storm, a humble heart the Lord will not deny, He is near to the broken hearted, a refuge and strength for those who put their trust in Him.

“But as for me, I will wait and hope continually, and I will praise You yet more and more.” Psalm 71:14

It’s Time To Move Closer

The full measure of the goodness of God can only be experienced while remaining in covenant with Him, and faithfulness in covenant is the key to lasting oneness with Him. You must cherish the Lord’s heart also; it is good for you to draw near to Him that you may first know Him, and then tell of His glorious works.

It is time for you to get your own oil, time for your own personal experience with Him. I see for some that you have had many personal experiences but have become satisfied with the distant flames of others. Second hand experiences and encounters are encouraging to hear and can build our faith, though I believe the Lord is asking for more – particularly in this hour. The Lord is asking more from each one of us, leading us into a greater depth of commitment and maturity. For some your fire in the camp has gone out and you continue to try and relight the fire and you are perplexed why you can not start the fire but the Lord would say it is time to move. Keep climbing higher up the mountian of the Lord, the Spirit will lead you and He will come closer still. 🔥

“But as for me, it is good for me to draw near to God; I have made the Lord God my refuge and placed my trust in Him, that I may tell of all Your works.” Psalm 73:28

Through The Mystery Of God Incarnate, We See Who We Were Created To Be

The birth of Jesus opened an eternal portal to life that can not be shut. Jesus fully human and fully God – who is also the last Adam, restores the dead to life. This is the reason for celebration; through the incarnate Christ we see who we were created to be and Who God truly is.

“Thus it is written, The first man Adam became a living being (an individual personality); the last Adam (Christ) became a life-giving Spirit [restoring the dead to life]. [Gen. 2:7.]” 1 Corinthians 15:45 AMPC

It’s Time For The Vision To Be Fulfilled

It’s time for the vision to be fulfilled.

For some of you this is that! This is “the time”, this is the vision that was seen, written of, and spoken about for a future time; you’ve perceived and even seen it physically though have been waiting on the full manifestation and it definitely feels delayed. You have been waiting and waiting and waiting, and nearly lost hope. But it’s your time, this is the season, and it shall come to pass! Step into the now reality by the Spirit with faith. No more delay!

“This vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.” Habakkuk 2:3 NLT
