Have I put my hand to tasks, and forgotten to build up compassion for those who have gone astray? Is this story meant to convict me, Lord?<br /><br /><i>[The Lord answered]<br /> <br /> If your heart is convicted,<br /> Then has it not also given answer<br /> To your prayer already,<br /> Revealing the Spirit which dwells<br /> Within you, of what sort it is?...<br /> <br /> For only the Spirit of Truth will bring forth<br /> Conviction unto righteousness,<br /> Bearing much fruit in The Beloved...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.</i><br /><br /><br /> ==The First Stitch== <br /><i>The first stitch, to mend any rent,<br /> Are the words “I’m sorry”...<br /> <br /> Says The Lord.</i><br /><br /><br /> ==YAHUWAH Is One; And His Word, One‎‎== <br />The Old Testament is The Father revealing Himself, while pointing to The Son. The New Testament is The Son revealing Himself while pointing to The Father, also fulfilling the Messianic prophecies of the Old Testament in Himself. The Letters<ref><font size="1"><i>“The Letters” refers to The Volumes of Truth</i></font></ref> are The Father and The Son revealing themselves as One, even as the Word of God is one, with The Letters being the culmination of the whole... <i>Not separate, but one.<br /> <br /> Therefore, to reject any part of<br /> The Lord’s Word is to reject the whole...<br /> <br /> The three books are one...<br /> <br /> One on-going testament to God’s glory.</i><br /><br /> <font size="1"><references/></font> ==Removing The Veil‎‎== <br /><i>Thus says The Lord:</i> Those who receive of Me begin to see with eyes wide open, with the deafness of their ears healing quickly.<br /> Yet those who have not received rely upon the spirit of men to discern, and stumble greatly; rejecting My Word spoken to this generation, while at the same time polluting My Word from aforetime; firmly securing the veil which remains atop their heads, covering their faces in an attempt to hide their shame.<br /> <br /> <i>Therefore, I have spoken it and shall<br /> Say it again before this perverse<br /> And most wicked generation,<br /> Though they can in no wise bear to hear it...<br /> <br /> I AM COME![http://trumpetcallofgodonline.com/index.php5?title=I_AM_COME] THE TIME IS HERE!...<br /> <br /> And behold I, The Lord your God,<br /> Will do nothing until I have revealed<br /> My plans to My servants, the prophets...<br /> <br /> And this I have done.</i><br /><br /><br /> ==Serving Others in Love‎‎== <i><br />Beloved, by serving others in love,<br /> Putting their needs before your own...<br /> <br /> By sacrificing yourself,<br /> Your desires, your wants, your will,<br /> Your body, even your very life...<br /> <br /> Will you learn what it truly means<br /> To wash each other’s feet...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.</i><br /><br /><br /> ==Prayers of the Sincere in Heart== <br />Prayer request: Please pray that pride won’t become an issue for me, because I just wanna walk with YahuShua only.<br /><br /> <i>[The Lord answered]<br /> <br /> In your request is wisdom;<br /> For those of a sincere heart,<br /> Whose prayer is to flee from pride,<br /> Have received of their request<br /> Already in the asking...<br /> <br /> Whereby they have also begun<br /> To build up a hedge about themselves,<br /> Because of their intent...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.</i><br /><br /><br /> ==Touching the Heart of God== <i><br />The hard of heart have no knowledge;<br /> Even all revelation is hidden from their eyes...<br /> <br /> Yet one who shares in My cup,<br /> Weeping heavily upon My chest,<br /> Has touched the heart of God...<br /> <br /> For sincere tears open the door to My fullness,<br /> Yet a hard heart is a locked door...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.</i><br /><br /><br /> ==Matters of the Heart== <i><br />The wailing of the penitent<br /> Brings forth healing;<br /> Yet the words of the wicked<br /> Cause only pain...<br /> <br /> Love flows outward from<br /> The hearts of the righteous;<br /> Yet the love of the wicked<br /> Grows cold, as hate enters in.</i><br /><br /><br /> ==What Is Pure?== <br /><i>Giving thanks to God<br /> In My name is pure worship;<br /> Yet the wicked man<br /> Demands honor for himself...<br /> <br /> The heart of a child is pure,<br /> Yet the heart of the mature is corrupt...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord YahuShua.</i><br /><br /><br /> ==The Spirit of Unity== <br />The spirit of unity is in Me, walking in My footsteps... <i>Doing unto others as you would have them do unto you; remembering that all you do to others, whether good or bad, you have done also to Me.</i><br /> Have I not spoken to this already, in the Gospel of My servant, John? For I said to love one another, and to wash each other’s feet, and that you can do nothing apart from Me.<br /> <br /> <i>Therefore be one in Me,<br /> Even as I long to be one with you,<br /> Even as The Father and I are One...<br /> <br /> That our love may be made perfect in One...<br /> <br /> You in Me, I in you,<br /> To the joy of The Father...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord YahuShua.</i><br /><br /><br /> ==A Wise Guide== <br /><i>One who endeavors to teach My flock,<br /> Using the Word of My own mouth,<br /> Must grow very wise in the hearing<br /> And must be wide awake in the Spirit...<br /> <br /> Discerning...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.</i><br /><br /><br /> ==The True Jew== <br />This question was asked: What is the definition of a true Jew?<br /> <br /> <i>[The Lord answered]</i> The definition of a true Jew is this: <i>YahuShua.</i> Therefore, all those in whom I dwell are Jews indeed. For they are true, even as I am true... <i>Let none, therefore, bring even one railing accusation against MY olive tree! Says The Lord.</i><br /><br /><br /> ==Finishing the Race== <br /><i>It is the man who endures through the pain,<br /> And perseveres through every obstacle,<br /> Who finishes the race...<br /> <br /> Yet the man who surrenders all to The Lord<br /> Will fly with eagle’s wings.<br /> </i><br /><br /> ==Dual Paths== <i><br />Let those who do wickedly<br /> Walk in the way they have chosen,<br /> Until their foot becomes ensnared...<br /> <br /> And let those who are Mine seek<br /> Righteousness apart from the wicked,<br /> Until they are lifted up,<br /> High upon healing wings!...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.</i><br /><br /><br /> ==Leading Others in Righteousness== <br /><i>Can any man lead while wielding a whip?...<br /> <br /> Yet The Lord is above all.</i><br /><br /><br /> ==Grace to the Humble== <i><br />Behold, The Lord raises His voice<br /> Within the hearts of the elect!...<br /> <br /> Yet His silence bears witness<br /> Against those who refuse to hear.<br /> <br /> Pride is a veil held fast<br /> Over the heads of the arrogant;<br /> It shall cover them in the day of darkness...<br /> <br /> Yet the way of the elect is a crown of glory,<br /> And grace covers them!<br /><br /><br /></i> ==I Know My Own== <br />Those who are Mine receive of Me. For I know My own, and they seek Me; My bride is chosen. Yet those who reject Me and My Word have not known Me, nor will they receive; My spirit is far removed.<br /> Those who set themselves apart from Me, whether by word or deed or by pretense, their hearts are revealed; these shall be left to walk through very dry places. Yet those who seek Me in truth shall be drawn in quickly, whether they are near or far, for I know My own. And those who are married unto Me shall surely enter in.<br /> Therefore, judge no more by human standards, discern by right standards, according to My love and the knowledge you have received in Me.<br /> <br /> <i>For I AM THE LORD, whose will is set<br /> And can in no wise be turned back;<br /> Even from the beginning,<br /> It was decided and accomplished...<br /> <br /> For I AM...<br /> <br /> And My bride has always been<br /> Predestined in The Beloved...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.</i><br /><br /><br /> ==Strength in Weakness== <i><br />A man’s strength is revealed<br /> In confronting his greatest weakness,<br /> Yet a man’s greatest strength<br /> Becomes his enemy<br /> When pride enters in...<br /> <br /> Yet My strength is made perfect<br /> In My servant’s weakness...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==Stop Lying to Your Children== <br /><i>(Regarding Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and the like)<br /><br /></i>No lie is of the Truth. Yet the little ones are of The Truth, and remain with Me and in Me. Even now I call to them, for My lambs know My voice. And that which came from Me must soon return to Me... <i>Therefore, be separate from the ways of this world, and order your conduct according to The Word of Truth, and no more speak lies to your children, for this is sin.<br /> <br /> Rather feed them with The Bread<br /> Which came down from Heaven,<br /> The Bread which I am,<br /> The Way, The Truth, The Life;<br /> For this alone is pleasing to God...<br /> <br /> Anything to the contrary<br /> Is of the world and the evil one,<br /> No matter its disguise...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord YahuShua.<br /><br /></i><br /> ==All I Have Is Yours== <br /><i>For in knowing Me you possess all things...<br /> <br /> Says The Lord.</i><br /><br /><br /> ==The Only Fountain of Knowledge== <br />That which is revealed to one may not yet be revealed to another. And those who have seen, have seen, yet most have only understood dimly. Therefore trust is required, and comes before understanding, for understanding can only come from Me... <i>For I am The Only Fountain, The Only Knowledge in which is life.</I><br /> Beloved, when one loses sight of Me or turns away, understanding darkens. Yet one who keeps Me in front of them, coming to Me at all times and in every season, in them understanding brightens and they will have peace. For they abide in Me, and rest in the knowing that all things are held within My understanding, and are given and received according to the good pleasure of My will.<br /> <br /> <i>And indeed, this is sufficient for them,<br /> <br /> For they had first sought after<br /> The Kingdom of God and His righteousness...<br /> <br /> By which much revelation was added to them<br /> According to the Spirit which I have<br /> Poured out for them...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord YahuShua.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==Mature Faith== <br /><i>Blessed are those who answer, “Yes, Lord”,<br /> For their faith is revealed...<br /> <br /> Blessed are those who pray, “Your will be done, Lord”,<br /> For they have great trust...<br /> <br /> Blessed are those who say, “Amen, Lord”,<br /> At all times and in every season,<br /> For they have understood...<br /> <br /> Blessed are those who know,<br /> I AM WHO I AM;<br /> They shall have peace...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==Blessed Is The Name of The Lord== <i><br />By My name is your heart sealed;<br /> For in My name is the Spirit given,<br /> The Spirit which also testifies of My name...<br /> <br /> By My name are you established in life,<br /> As a bride prepared for her husband...<br /> <br /> Therefore, everyone who refuses<br /> To take My name shall not see life,<br /> For there is but One Way into life...<br /> <br /> I am The Way...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord YahuShua.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==Sabbath Peace== <i><br />On the Sabbath,<br /> Let no unclean thing come from your mouth;<br /> Let only praise and beauty come forth...<br /> <br /> Let My grace be your covering,<br /> Let gentleness and humility<br /> Be your companion...<br /> <br /> And soon you will wear a crown of glory<br /> Atop your head...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord YahuShua.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==Two Robes== <i><br />Can one wear two robes without constraint? Or can one place one robe over another, and it not tear? Is it wise to put on one robe, while wearing another already? And shall one attempt to wear a robe of white, to conceal a soiled one beneath? Will they not both become unclean?<br /> <br /> Therefore, take off the one<br /> Which is soiled and cast it away!...<br /> <br /> That the other may be worn properly<br /> And without constraint...<br /> <br /> Lest it tear, revealing your shame...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord YahuShua.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==Healing by Faith== <i><br />Faith is believing I AM WHO I AM, and that I am able to perform it. Faith can by no means be attained, nor can one grab hold of it by human means.<br /> <br /> For there are works done without faith, which are dead; and a faith which has works, which is also dead. Yet your faith came by My works, which enabled you to believe I AM WHO I AM. And all good works, which come forth from you, are My works also.<br /> Therefore if one is to be healed in accordance with My will, that same one must surrender to Me and My will, making no effort to increase their faith by human power as a means to a desired end.<br /> <br /> Rather they acquiesce...<br /> <br /> Knowing that all things will be done<br /> In their proper time and season,<br /> According to the love<br /> Of their Father in Heaven...<br /> <br /> Doubting nothing...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==Revelation Is Greater Than Knowledge== <br />While praying about those who have discounted The Lord’s words in The Volumes of Truth, those who think they have attained such great knowledge, The Lord spoke and said...<br /> <br /> <i>The knowledge they possess is earthly;<br /> But I am Heavenly!...<br /> <br /> What they have received is from below;<br /> But I am from above!...<br /> <br /> All they know is passing away;<br /> Yet I abide forever!...<br /> <br /> They dwell in the darkness, even now,<br /> And remain void of understanding;<br /> Yet I AM HE who dwells<br /> In the unapproachable light!...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord YahuShua. <br /><br /><br /></i> ==The Companion of Fools== <br /><i>Unrighteous jealousy is the companion of fools...<br /> <br /> For those who envy also grab hold of jealousy,<br /> Walking hand in hand with covetousness.</i><br /><br /><br /> ==Deliverance== <i><br />Blessed are those who run to Me,<br /> For they shall be blessed in My presence...<br /> <br /> Even more blessed are those<br /> Who run to Me, then obey My Word;<br /> For their blessing is complete<br /> And they are at peace...<br /> <br /> Deliverance they shall surely know...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==Trust, Obey, and Love== <i><br />Trust with abandonment,<br /> Obey without expectation,<br /> And love without condition...<br /> <br /> For in this shall you truly know Me,<br /> With your faith progressing<br /> Quickly toward perfection...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==Who You Are== <i><br />Who you are at home reveals<br /> The person you remain...<br /> <br /> Therefore, do not be as the hypocrite<br /> Who has two faces, for I see all your doings,<br /> I know your heart...<br /> <br /> For by a man’s actions is his heart revealed,<br /> And by his mouth is he defined before others...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord YahuShua.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==Who You Choose== <i><br />Here is wisdom:<br /> <br /> Who you choose, not what<br /> You choose, is the answer;<br /> For who you choose<br /> Defines what you do...<br /> <br /> And whosoever chooses another,<br /> And not Me in truth,<br /> Has chosen themselves,<br /> And has done according<br /> To their own will...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord YahuShua.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==Embracing The Gift== <br /><i>The Holy Days are the<br /> Stepping stones to Heaven...<br /> <br /> In understanding their meaning shall you<br /> Progress quickly along the path I have laid...<br /> <br /> And when I have fulfilled them to the last<br /> The journey shall be complete,<br /> For those who have<br /> Accepted and received...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord YahuShua.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==Notoriety== <i><br />Notoriety is a stumbling block at the<br /> Feet of the prideful, and fame puffs up...<br /> <br /> Pride goes before a fall,<br /> And fame is short-lived...<br /> <br /> Lo, a famous man is honored<br /> More in his death than in his life...<br /> <br /> Yet what does it profit?<br /> For the meek shall inherit the earth.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==Forbidden Fruit== <i><br />If the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil,<br /> Then pride is the tree and notoriety its branches;<br /> Death shall be the reward<br /> Of all those who eat from it...<br /> <br /> Yea darkness is reserved for all those<br /> Who take shelter in its shade.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==Evident== <i><br />If wisdom is justified by her children,<br /> Then the folly of fools is evident<br /> And the way of the wicked is death...<br /> <br /> Yet the humility of the meek shall hide them<br /> In the Day of The Lord’s Anger.</i><br /><br /><br /> ==The Meek and the Foolish== <i><br />The wise are quiet and know when to speak,<br /> And the humble are barely noticed...<br /> <br /> Yet the prideful announce<br /> Themselves as with a trumpet,<br /> And the plight of the slothful<br /> Is made plain by their complaint.</i><br /><br /><br /> ==Walking in The Word== <i><br />Rejoice in the wisdom of The Lord,<br /> And find joy in His correction...<br /> <br /> For only those who have received<br /> Of the Spirit of Truth are able to see,<br /> And only those who love The Truth<br /> Are able to hear...<br /> <br /> Yet only those who embrace<br /> The Messiah fully, who also write<br /> His words upon their hearts,<br /> Will do them...<br /> <br /> And peace, the kind of which<br /> Only The Lord can give,<br /> Shall be their companion.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==Narrow Is The Way== <i><br />Very narrow is the way,<br /> Yet look how easily<br /> A little child passes through.<br /> <br /> Men and women of this world, you stand too tall, your girth is too wide. Lose this height therefore and bow down, for you are puffed up; as fatted cattle you have become meet for the slaughter. Therefore, refuse all this rotten food fed to the masses, and eat no more from the filthy plates served in the churches of men. Rather partake of the food I give you, and be satisfied.<br /> <br /> For I tell you the truth...<br /> <br /> Until you decrease in the world’s eyes,<br /> And are humbled in your own,<br /> You shall by no means pass through...<br /> <br /> For the first harvest shall be lowly,<br /> Of the lowly...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==Due Reward== <br />The high man stands proud, and the man of low degree is tread down! The eyes of The Lord have seen it, the ears of The Lord have heard it!... <i>Therefore shall the error of the proud be exposed, and the look of the lofty be brought low! For the span of My holy mountain is great, filling the breadth of the whole earth; the weight of the stone, infinite! And woe to those who are crushed beneath it! Says The Lord of Hosts.<br /> <br /> Yet the man of low degree shall arise,<br /> And the humble sleeper<br /> Shall awake from his slumber...<br /> <br /> They together shall inherit the land,<br /> They together shall live<br /> In the top of The Mountain!...<br /> <br /> And the broken shall receive<br /> Healing atop The Stone...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==Wonderful== <i><br />The power of The Lord is without end! His love covers His creation like a blanket, and the light of His glory reaches beyond the stars of heaven! His majesty is beyond comprehension; it transcends space and time!... The Everlasting is His name!<br /> The express image of The Holy is revealed, He is known of His own! His glory shines from the east even unto the west... The Sh’khinah of The Father’s only Son!<br /> WONDERFUL is His name! WONDERFUL are His ways! He wears TRUTH as a garment, and GLORY is His vesture, and LOVE is His crowning glory! All life proceeds from Him; He holds all things together by the Word of His power!<br /> <br /> His way is from everlasting,<br /> And with His mouth He testifies<br /> To the Truth, always!...<br /> <br /> Therefore, let us testify also;<br /> The Father and The Son are One! ONE!...<br /> <br /> YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH!<br /><br /></i><br /> ==Glad Service== <i><br />A right heart brings forth glad service,<br /> And a joyful giver reaps what he sows;<br /> Life in abundance shall be his reward...<br /> <br /> Yet the heart of the wicked seeks his own way;<br /> And he too shall reap according<br /> To that which he has sown,<br /> Welcoming death when it comes.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==Building the Gallows== <i><br />Vanity is a rope, and pride builds the gallows;<br /> Envy leads to hate, and jealousy<br /> Brings forth evil thoughts...<br /> <br /> Therefore, beware of the thoughts of your heart,<br /> Lest you follow in Haman’s error[http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Esther%207&version=NKJV]<br /> And walk in the way of Cain[http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=++1+John+3%3A12%3B+Genesis+4%3A8&version=NKJV],<br /> To your own demise...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==Walking Together in The Father’s Joy== <br />Blessed is the man who gives out of the abundance of his heart. For one such as this gives, knowing in his heart that all he has is Mine and all I have is his, given and received according to the knowledge of My will for those who believe. For this man knows what it is to be My servant. He is bound by nothing, a man who walks free in all the earth, blessing the name of The Lord his God with enduring trust.<br /> Therefore those who give out of obligation know not the joy of The Lord, nor of the freedom which comes by service, helping others in My name.<br /> <br /> <i>Yet the servant whose heart leaps with joy<br /> At the thought of washing the feet of the poor,<br /> Who also eagerly seeks out the afflicted,<br /> To give them comfort, knows that whatsoever<br /> They do for another they have also done for Me...<br /> <br /> For these know Me, and I live in them...<br /> <br /> And together we shall walk,<br /> Choosing the good and refusing the evil,<br /> Until we walk together anew in My kingdom...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==Reconciliation in Marriage== <i><br />An unyielding heart sows discord in marriage,<br /> And stubbornness shuts the door to reconciliation...<br /> <br /> Yet the one who is first to say,<br /> “I’m sorry” is wise, defusing any argument;<br /> And the one who is quick to forgive<br /> Heals the breach.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==Surrender== <br /><i>The unbroken remain proud,<br /> And fools speak assertions<br /> Without knowledge; they are bound...<br /> <br /> Yet the one who holds their tongue is wise,<br /> And the one who surrenders all<br /> Shall gain The Victory.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==Ears to Hear== <br />A willing, humble heart is open to Me, and one who is deeply in love with Me will hear My voice. Yet this is not equal, nor shall every servant hear My voice in the same way.<br /> Hear and understand: I have spoken to My prophets throughout the generations (for I change not), and each was given that which was required to accomplish My will among the people... <i>Therefore rejoice, My sons and daughters! For The Most High has come down to you! And behold, I have caused My servants to hear, to receive wisdom by the power of My own spirit!<br /> <br /> Lo, by the Word of My mouth<br /> Shall My beloved be blessed,<br /> The prideful humbled<br /> And the haughty abased...<br /> <br /> For the Word of The Lord<br /> Never returns void...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==A Waving Banner== <br />To the unbeliever, My Word, no matter its color or brilliance, shall be as gray clouds on a dark and dreary day. And to those pricked in their hearts, it shall be to them as an after image which ceases not from before their eyes, as a flash of lightning remains in the eyes of the one who beheld it even after they have shut their eyes to it.<br /> <br /> <i>Yet to the believer<br /> My words are cause for celebration,<br /> A time to stop and pay attention,<br /> For the mouth of The Living God has spoken!...<br /> <br /> Both the color and brilliance they recognize,<br /> For their eyes are wide open...<br /> <br /> For them, The Source and The Author is clear,<br /> For they see with the heart<br /> And not with the mind...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==Believing without Seeing== <br />Look not outwardly for that which can only be discerned from within, and search not in the world for that which is not of this world, for I have already come... <i>I dwell within the hearts of men!

And how shall one who loves Me take My hand and walk beside Me, with one foot on the good ground and the other in the grave?<br /> Therefore knowledge must increase, and sin decrease, to enter The Kingdom of Heaven. For one who is under grace bears fruit of the same; and The One who kept The Law of The Father revealed that grace by works.<br /> <br /> <i>So then, Grace is first and everlasting...<br /> <br /> Then comes works,<br /> The first works done in faith,<br /> Even the first fruits bore in your lives...<br /> <br /> Which is to love The Father and one another,<br /> By keeping The Law...<br /> <br /><br /> Says The Lord.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==A Desirable Union== <br /><i>Thus says The Lord to those who seek Him:</i> Do you abide in Me?

And though the terror of The Lord comes upon all nations, it shall not approach the penitent, nor shall the trembling of the humble continue without comfort.

In His bosom are healing tears and laughter, joy beyond compare, the fullness of love, life without end.<br /> <br /> <i>Behold, The Lord has come down<br /> To look upon the rage of the nations,<br /> To search the hearts of men...<br /> <br /> The Mighty One has come down to gather His own,<br /> To take from among them the penitent,<br /> Everyone of a contrite heart and humble spirit...<br /> <br /> Those who do justly and love mercy,<br /> Whose eyes long to look upon their King...<br /> <br /> Those whose hands reach out for His healing touch,<br /> Whose fingers know His wounds,<br /> Whose lips have tasted of the divine gift...<br /> <br /> Drinking from His cup, always.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==Choose Me== <br /><i>Behold, The Gift is given already!...<br /> <br /> Therefore, all those who come to Me,<br /> Who love Me with all their heart,<br /> With all their mind, with all their soul<br /> And with all their strength,<br /> Shall be blessed indeed!...<br /> <br /> For is it not written,<br /> “Wisdom is justified by her children”?...<br /> <br /> Therefore, here is wisdom:<br /> CHOOSE ME!

And what man have I brought forth from the dust of the earth, that I might share My glory with him?... <i>There are none worthy; not one formed from the dust of the earth who knows Me; not one who is righteous, no, not one. All lie down in death, all return to the dust of the earth.<br /> <br /> Yet I came down to you<br /> In the image in which I created you,<br /> So you might receive of Me and have life,<br /> That you might share in My wisdom<br /> And find healing, great peace in My love...<br /> Exchanging your life for Mine...<br /> That you might roam free in My creation,<br /> Close to Me at My side, always,<br /> Until your first days are called ancient<br /> And your latter days laughter...<br /> <br /> Years beyond number...<br /> <br /> Thousands of years passing as the setting<br /> Of the sun, millions of days passing by<br /> As a breeze caressing the face<br /> Of the forever young...<br /> <br /> Each one remembered as yesterday...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.</i><br /><br /><br /> ==Drink Deeply from This Vine== <i><br />My children, seek My glory and look to My Righteousness, for The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! Look into My eyes, open your ears to My voice, for the mouth of The Lord has spoken! Return to the first works; it is time to be consumed in your First Love!<br /> <br /> Beloved, see the Word of The Lord,<br /> Drink deeply from this vine!...<br /> <br /> Consider My Mercy and the name of Love,<br /> That you may know Me as I truly am,<br /> That we may be one!...<br /> <br /> Consider, for it is time...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.</i><br /><br /><br /> ==A Sure Way== <i><br />My words are pure...<br /> <br /> A solid foundation beneath the feet<br /> Of My beloved, a sure way for all who believe...<br /> <br /> My words are a strong staff in the hand<br /> Of all those who do them, and all who place<br /> Their trust in Me will never falter...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.</i><br /><br /><br /> ==Envy== <br />Envy is a double-ended sword. One end is covetousness, piercing the heart of those who envy; the other is pride, piercing the heart of those being envied. Behold, envy is also a snare. For those who envy are held captive by covetousness, and those who are envied are easily ensnared by pride.<br /> <br /> <i>Therefore repent, and place<br /> All your trust in The Messiah...<br /> <br /> Make Him your focus,<br /> Your only desire, and He will keep<br /> Your foot from being taken...<br /> <br /> Indeed, HE will preserve your life.</i><br /><br /><br /> ==The Feasts of The Lord== <br />In these Seven is wisdom and understanding, the very mind of God. For the Holy Days are revelation, revealing hidden things kept secret since the world began... <i>Signposts of things to come, a foretaste of The Kingdom, a glimpse into the Glory of God even as the Scriptures, unfolding and coming to light as the will of God is manifest, says The Lord.<br /> <br /> Behold, four are fulfilled:<br /> Salvation assured,<br /> Sin and death overcome,<br /> The Spirit given...<br /> <br /> Three are coming quickly:<br /> Sin destroyed, evil bound,<br /> My seat taken, Judgment...<br /> <br /> A new day, even one thousand years...<br /> <br /> Then a short season,<br /> Consummation...<br /> <br /> An everlasting day in The Lord! <br /><br /></i><br /> ==Beyond Question== <br /><i>The Lord is eternal; HE IS! He never ends! His love, His mercy, His justice, His majesty, His glory, His sorrow, all that He is endures forever! Likewise His creation has no end, no boundaries! There are no limits to contain it, for it is as He is!... HE IS THE CREATOR!... Everlasting, eternal, The Alpha and Omega, The Beginning and The End, The First and The Last by whom all things exist and have their being, through whom all living things have life!<br /><br /> Kiss The Son, therefore! Bow down heavily and give Him glory! Let the knowledge of who He is fill your heart with wonder and awe, with great reverence and worship! Give Him thanks and praise! For Holy is The Lord God Almighty, His ways past finding out! For who can understand the knowledge of The Lord contained within creation, or know the depths of His wisdom?! Yet His Glory surrounds us on every side, testifying to His majesty beyond question! Indeed, we are without excuse!<br /> <br /> Behold, even the whole of creation shouts,<br /> “YAHUSHUA is YAHUWAH!”<br /> For it is He by whom all things consist,<br /> It is He who causes to be...<br /> <br /> For The Lord our God is One!</i><br /><br /><br /> ==The Song of The Lamb== <br /><i>Eat of Me, partake of My words, and be filled! Breathe Me in, that the song of The Lamb may dwell within you! For it is the knowledge of My love, the revelation of who I truly am!... A song, a chorus, soon to be a symphony, a great outpouring of revelation to the praise of My glory!<br /> <br /> Beloved, it is also the music we share...<br /> <br /> Sweet melodies of grace and peace<br /> Playing softly within your heart,<br /> Each string plucked gently and surely...<br /> <br /> The sound of My love revealed<br /> In you and through you...<br /> <br /> My spirit, My breath,<br /> My life given and received,<br /> Bearing much fruit in The Beloved...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord YahuShua.<br /><br /></i><br /> ==A Sure Foundation== <br /><i>Old houses stand upon old foundations,<br /> And new houses upon new foundations...<br /> <br /> A new house cannot be built atop another,<br /> Nor does one build a new house<br /> Upon an old foundation...<br /> <br /> No, the old house must be torn down<br /> And the old foundation removed,<br /> Making room for the new foundation<br /> To be poured, that the new house<br /> May rest securely upon it...<br /> <br /> Behold the house!...<br /> <br /> A house with a sure foundation,<br /> A house able to withstand<br /> Even the strongest of storms...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.<br /></i><br /><br /> ==Integrity== <br /><i>Obedience is more than trust,<br /> And trust much more than obedience...<br /> <br /> For obedience by itself<br /> Bears bitter fruit in the end,<br /> And trust left alone becomes a lie...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.<br /></i><br /><br /> ==Remembering the Ascension, Looking to the Blessed Hope== <br />That which was bitter shall be made sweet, and that which brought tears of sadness shall be turned to great rejoicing. For indeed The Bridegroom was taken from them, and has been a long time in coming. Yet those who have waited with all eagerness shall have their hope realized, and those who watched with steadfast trust shall not be put to shame; neither shall those who have fallen asleep be disappointed.<br /> <br /> <i>For the Bride shall have her heart’s desire,<br /> And My prophets their due reward...<br /> <br /> For all those who belong to Me have tasted,<br /> And behold, My prophets have surely seen...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.<br /><br /></i><br /> ==The Justice of God== <br /><i>The justice of God rests atop the mountain, and comes forth with a great noise! The retribution of The Lord rains down upon the mountains and gathers strength! It rushes down the steep places, catching many unawares! It gathers together and rages through the valleys, leaping over the banks, breaking down the walls, destroying every barrier!… A terrible deluge!<br /> Behold, the trees are fallen and torn from their places, their branches broken and mangled, their roots laid bare!… Unrecognizable!<br /> <br /> Thus is the wrath of God,<br /> Thus is the Day of The Lord’s Anger:<br /> <br /> Destruction in a moment, a tearing down,<br /> A wiping away, a great threshing,<br /> A carrying away of all that offends!...<br /> <br /> Until all that is hidden is exposed,<br /> And that which is high and lofty<br /> Is brought low...<br /> <br /> Until every fruitful hill is made barren,<br /> And every lush valley is stripped<br /> And bares neither leaf nor fruit…<br /> <br /> Darkness, thick clouds and darkness...<br /> <br /> The shadow of death.<br /><br /></i><br /> ==Providence== <br />My people are a strange and peculiar people; indeed, they are accounted by the multitude as those who are of unsound mind. Yet My servants are men of action, men with strong trust, men of clout in The Lord; men who are unwavering in My purpose who also care for those given them, willing to go wheresoever I send them, unafraid to do whatever is needful.<br /> Yet the plight of the slothful shall be filled with troubles, as the sun sets upon their need. For in their listlessness they were unaware and did not seek after My will, to know it, nor have they risen up to walk in that which I have spoken already. Thus providence is drawn back, until the sluggard has no place.<br /> <br /> <i>Have I not spoken to these things already, in many Letters?<br /> Have I not revealed My will and that in which<br /> I am most pleased, by My many words?...<br /> <br /> And still My people draw back from My voice<br /> And My servants sit idle and fold the hands,<br /> Closing their eyes to their need<br /> While forsaking those placed under their care,<br /> Both those near to them and those afar off...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.</i><br /><br /><br /> ==The True Church== <br /><i>I am The Church;<br /> Its walls, its pews, its pulpit, its altar,<br /> Its very foundation...<br /> <br /> When sitting in My church,<br /> You can behold Heaven;<br /> There is no ceiling to<br /> Keep you from enlightenment...<br /> <br /> And if I am your sanctuary,<br /> Your four walls of faith,<br /> Your resting place of worship,<br /> The Word and the Spirit,<br /> The Stone upon which all must be broken,<br /> The Very Cornerstone of Life...<br /> <br /> Then Heaven is open before<br /> The eyes of all who dwell in Me<br /> And become My body...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord YahuShua.</i><br /><br /><br /> ==Charity== <br /><i>Comfort the sick, lift up the downtrodden, and visit those in prison; clothe the naked, shelter the homeless, and above all feed the hungry; do so in My name. For in Me shall all find comfort, exaltation, companionship, warm coverings and sanctuary from the storm; even food and drink for their soul shall they receive in Me. For all these things are the very definition and purpose of love.<br /> <br /> Thus as I am, so also were you created...<br /> <br /> Understand Love...<br /> <br /> For in My love were you created,<br /> To receive and to give;<br /> And in the giving does one also receive...<br /> <br /> Therefore, love one another<br /> As I have loved you...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord your Redeemer.</i><br /><br /><br /> ==Without Hesitation== <br /><i>Blessed are My servants who seek to<br /> Obey My commands without hesitation,<br /> For their trust is apparent;<br /> Blessed are those who seek to please Me,<br /> For in them am I well pleased...<br /> <br /> For no man can step forward without trust,<br /> And one who is void of belief is<br /> Consumed by doubt and fear,<br /> And I have already told you that pride blinds<br /> The eyes and arrogance stops the ears...<br /> <br /> Therefore let My servants step<br /> Forward without hesitation, and ask,<br /> That their blessing may be compounded<br /> And their belief increased!...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.</i><br /><br /><br /> ==Steadfast Faith== <br /><i>Blessed is the wise and faithful servant,<br /> Who gives no thought to how they are<br /> Perceived in the eyes of others...<br /> <br /> For they obey My voice,<br /> And are not dismayed by the looks<br /> Of those who judge without knowledge...<br /> <br /> Indeed, they seek only to please their Master,<br /> Having no need of the approval of others...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.</i><br /><br /><br /> ==Perseverance== <br /><i>There can be no birth apart from travail,<br /> For birth is always accompanied<br /> By much travail...<br /> <br /> Yet oh how blessed are those<br /> Who persevere with their hearts<br /> Fixed upon the goal, enduring the pain,<br /> For they shall surely receive their reward...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.</i><br /><br /><br /> ==One Body== <br /><i>This is the way of The Lord...<br /> <br /> That one in need in My body<br /> Be supported by their brothers and sisters,<br /> With all members becoming one...<br /> <br /> One body, in Me...<br /> <br /> That he who is able to walk in Me<br /> Dwell alongside those who are weak,<br /> For they are in need of strengthening...<br /> <br /> Lo, you shall all wash each other’s feet!...<br /> <br /> Even as I do likewise<br /> Through you and amongst you,<br /> To the praise of My glory...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord YahuShua.</i><br /><br /><br /> ==Devotion== <br /><i>Of My servants I require<br /> Obedience, with all trust,<br /> Pure service in The Lord...<br /> <br /> An eager servant willing<br /> To obey without hesitation,<br /> Even when they lack understanding...<br /> <br /> A humble servant who remains in My love,<br /> A disciple who has breathed Me in...<br /> <br /> A devoted son or daughter<br /> Who loves Me more than these...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.</i><br /><br /><br /> ==Unrestrained== <br />Consider this, says The Lord; ponder it and also receive it: <i>By good works you will not find Me, yet good works are found in Me. And by My works shall you begin to know Me, for My works shall be done in you.</i><br /> <br /> Yet understand this also: Where human power is, pride follows close behind. Yet one who surrenders to The Lord will be given eagle’s wings. Yea, nothing shall be impossible for them, for I shall be with them and in them, says The Lord... <i>In that day, wheresoever I am will My servants be also, and wheresoever I go My servants will follow. And whatsoever I decree will be done in an instant, and those who are chosen will go for Me without hesitation, and that which I speak in this place will be heard in another.<br /> <br /> And no more shall My servants be restrained,<br /> By any means! Declares The Lord...<br /> <br /> For it is I, The King of Glory,<br /> Who has spoken it.<br /></i><br /><br /> ==Blurred Vision== <br />One who answers a matter in the name of The Lord, while being ignorant or unsure, is foolish. And one who judges a matter without knowledge leans upon pride, wearing pretense as a garment.<br /> <br /> <i>Thus the one who steps<br /> In front of Me shall surely stumble,<br /> And the one who seats himself<br /> Upon My throne shall be cast down...<br /> <br /> For pride does indeed come before the fall,<br /> And those who judge without knowledge<br /> Shall be made to sit upon the ground...<br /> <br /> <br /> I AM THE LORD.<br /></i><br /><br /> ==Responsibility== <br /><i>One who does not take responsibility<br /> For their wrong-doings can by<br /> No means place them at My feet...<br /> <br /> And until one faces their hurts,<br /> By no means can I heal them...<br /> <br /> For the placing of blame turns the shoulder,<br /> And reluctancy hinders the heart...<br /> <br /> Yet perfect love casts out fear,<br /> And the one who truly knows Me trusts<br /> In My ways and embraces My correction...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.<br /></i><br /><br /> ==The Broken and the Proud== <br />The broken sinner who repents, I know. Yet the prideful man who considers himself righteous, I do not know. Indeed, he shall be found a liar in the Day of Reckoning. For there is none righteous, no not one, save The Son of Man only.<br /> <br /> <i>Therefore I ask you,<br /> Shall the broken sinner be justified<br /> In his need, in his fervent desire?...<br /> <br /> He shall indeed be justified in My sight!...<br /> <br /> For I shall clothe him with righteousness<br /> And cover him with grace;<br /> In his times of weakness My strength<br /> Shall sustain him, and in My love<br /> Shall he be made whole!...<br /> <br /> Behold, by My life is he healed!</i><br /> <br /> Yet the proud resist Me, and the arrogant want no part with Me as I truly am. For they have clothed themselves with the glory of men, a quickly fading flower. Their comfort is in their riches, and their solace is in their accomplishments, which shall leave them soiled and bruised in the day of their calamity, says The Lord.<br /><br /><br /> ==The Love of The Truth== <br /><i>Truth is self-evident in the eyes<br /> Of all those who love The Truth...<br /> <br /> Indeed, it resounds within the ears of all those<br /> Who have received of The Truth,<br /> In whom My spirit dwells...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.<br /></i><br /><br /> ==Uncovered== <br /><i>Truth is evident in My eyes,<br /> And a lie is never hidden...</i><br /> <br /> Therefore, let no one place their unrighteous cause upon the backs of the children, when a wrong is accounted only to the one who performed it. Neither let the disobedience of the one be covered over by the needs of the many. For I have seen it; lo, all is known to Me.<br /> <br /> <i>Therefore, let My people be tested;<br /> Let them be refined in the fire!...<br /> <br /> That the quality of their trust<br /> And the endurance of their belief<br /> May be revealed...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Holy One of Israel.</i><br /><br /><br /> ==The Holy Place== <br /><i>Beloved, there is a language of which<br /> You know nothing about, says The Lord...<br /> <br /> A language which is pure and beautiful,<br /> A language in need of no words at all...<br /> <br /> A language which you shall soon come to know,<br /> A language which I have revealed to My servant already...<br /> <br /> A language of overwhelming love, pure and undefiled,<br /> Bringing forth much understanding...<br /> <br /> A language of power and great glory,<br /> In which all My servants shall come to stand...<br /> <br /> The unspoken Word of God<br /> Received in the presence of The Almighty,<br /> The Holiest of Holies, revealing the essence of who I am...<br /> <br /> Union in The Spirit of God...<br /> <br /> A place beyond time and space, beyond the knowledge<br /> Contained within creation, surpassing all boundaries,<br /> A place even angels long to know...<br /> <br /> The place where I am and have always been seated,<br /> Where you shall be also...<br /> <br /> A place without time, The Eternal,<br /> The Bosom of The Father...<br /> <br /> Of which I AM...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord YahuShua.</i><br /><br /><br /> ==A Return to the Garden== <br /><i>Thus says The Lord: Behold, The Morning Star is risen, the universe is filled with His glory! And that glory shall abide with men, even in them and among them. I shall be a Father unto them, and they shall be My beloved children, forever... Lo, a return to innocence, paradise lost is paradise found, a return to the garden, the universe your playground.<br /> <br /> Thus as I have spoken, so shall it be done:<br /> <br /> The mystery of God revealed,<br /> The counting of days no more...<br /> <br /> Forever young in the presence<br /> Of your Shepherd, your Redeemer,<br /> Your Father, your Brother,<br /> Your Most Beloved Friend,<br /> The Fulfillment of all things<br /> For which your hearts have groaned...<br /> <br /> I AM THE MEANING OF LIFE!...<br /> <br /> And all who live in Me, and I in them,<br /> WILL LIVE FOREVER!</i><br /><br /><br /> ==Reformation== <br />Why does the heathen rage and shake his fist toward Heaven? Behold, he shall fall with none to catch him, and great shall be his fall!... <i>Yet the one who reaches for Me shall be lifted up, and the one who extends the hand shall know My dwelling place.<br /> <br /> For as it is written:<br /> <br /> Whoever has, to him more will be given,<br /> And he shall have an abundance...<br /> <br /> But whoever does not have,<br /> Even what he has shall be taken away,<br /> Until the Time of Reformation is complete...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.</i><br /><br /><br /> ==The Kingdom== <br /><i>The Kingdom of God is a garden...<br /> <br /> Set apart from the many<br /> Schemes of the adversary,<br /> A place of rest free of briers and thorns...<br /> <br /> A Sabbath...<br /> <br /> A holy place which shall never pass away,<br /> Where no one lies down in death,<br /> Nor shall any be made to slumber...<br /> <br /> My people shall never be covered over again,<br /> For the old order of things has passed away!<br /> Behold, all things have become new!...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.</i><br /><br /><br /> ==The Word of Truth== <br /><i>My Word is truth! And that which requires understanding shall be given to those of a contrite heart and a humble spirit. For those who love Me obey My Commandments, and those who remember My Sabbaths honor Me and shall know Wisdom. Therefore consider these things carefully.<br /> <br /> For I have indeed prepared<br /> A place for those who seek Me,<br /> For those who long to<br /> Know Me as I truly am...<br /> <br /> A place for all those<br /> Accepted in The Beloved,<br /> In whom My spirit dwells...<br /> <br /> The Kingdom without end...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==Faith Without Works Is Dead== <br /><i>Let all those who truly know Me<br /> Proclaim My name first by their ways,<br /> Then with their mouths...<br /> <br /> For honor only spoken of is but wind,<br /> The veil of the hypocrite who<br /> Knows not where he is going,<br /> Having no remorse<br /> Over where he has been...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==Faith AND Works== <br /><i>What is faith without works?<br /> <br /> Nothing, a lie spoken in vain.<br /> <br /> <br /> And what of works without faith?<br /> <br /> Vanity, a false good covering a heart<br /> Which has turned from The Truth...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==Just== <br /><i>The justice of God is beyond question,<br /> Standing forever in its permanency,<br /> Unwavering for all time...<br /> <br /> Righteous.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==God Is Sovereign== <br /><i>God is sovereign, His judgment stands...<br /> Therefore, let the penitent be rewarded equally<br /> To their forgiveness, which is equal...<br /> <br /> And let all evil unrepented be punished<br /> In accordance with evil’s deeds,<br /> The final penalty of which<br /> Has remained equal even to this day...<br /> <br /> <br /> The Lord does not change.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==Intentions== <br /><i>Where there are righteous works,<br /> There are also those who seek to spoil them<br /> For the sake of pride and envy;<br /> And where there is pure knowledge,<br /> There are also those who<br /> Defile it among women[http://marker.to/bySszV]...<br /> <br /> Yet the ignorance of the meek<br /> Is no cause for offense,<br /> Nor shall the error of the humble<br /> Bring forth rebuke...<br /> <br /> For I know the heart and look<br /> Upon the innermost intentions...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==Forgive== <br /><i>Blessed are those who do not return<br /> Evil for evil, or reviling for reviling,<br /> But rather pray for their enemies...<br /> <br /> Blessed are those who hold no ill-will<br /> In their heart toward another...<br /> <br /> Indeed, blessed are all those who<br /> Forgive everyone who<br /> Has sinned against them...<br /> <br /> For great shall be their reward in Heaven...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==A Heavy Stone== <br /><i>Those who refuse My correction are foolish,<br /> And must walk through dry places...<br /> <br /> And those who refuse to repent have<br /> Secured their place in the valley of death...<br /> <br /> For the pride of man is a heavy stone,<br /> Which increases by weight each day<br /> It remains unbroken...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==Insolent Cords== <br /><i>Insolent cords bind the proud,<br /> And rebellion is a rope by which<br /> The foolish hang themselves...<br /> <br /><br /> Says The Lord.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==The Word of God== <br />The Lord your God is a consuming fire, My every word a purifying flame! The presence of The Lord is an oppressive storm, which abases the proud and causes the high-minded to flee! And that which I have spoken to this generation, is it not a sword with which I shall strike to the heart of this people?! For I shall surely set all these crooked paths straight, and burn away the dross!<br /> <br /> <i>Yet for those who trust in Me<br /> And in whom My spirit dwells,<br /> My words are like a strong tower<br /> Set in the midst of battle,<br /> Which can in no wise be broken down!...<br /> <br /> A great trumpet blowing upon the hill<br /> Outside the city, which echoes<br /> Throughout the waste places!...<br /> <br /> A waving banner for this generation,<br /> A bright light, a beacon, shining in the<br /> Midst of this present darkness!...<br /> <br /> A rod of justice for the oppressed and<br /> The persecuted, a loosening of the chains<br /> Placed upon My people,<br /> The breaking apart of every shackle!...<br /> <br /> Freedom for those who love Me,<br /> Deliverance for those who understand,<br /> Strength for the weak,<br /> Grace to the humble,<br /> Manna to nourish the penitent...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==My Witnesses and My Word== <br /><i>Thus says The Lord:</i> My words shall be as fire in the mouths of My witnesses, singeing the ears of every hearer! My words shall carry the full weight of My spirit and be very heavy!...<br /> <br /> <i>Behold, I shall cause My words to have weight and power!...<br /> <br /> Weight as a man feels when struggling against the power of the sea,<br /> The waves pushing him backward, toppling him, throwing him down,<br /> Until he has no more breath left in him...<br /> <br /> As the wind knocked out of a man<br /> When he has been struck hard upon the chest,<br /> Leaving him in stunned silence, unable to speak,<br /> For all his thoughts have departed from him...<br /> <br /> FOR I SHALL CAUSE MY STRENGTH TO DWELL<br /> IN MY WORDS LIKE THE ROARING OF THE SEA!<br /><br /><br /></i> ==Pride== <br /><i>Only those who know they are sick<br /> Seek out The Physician...<br /> <br /> Yet those who perceive themselves as well<br /> Will in no wise come to Me, keeping Me at bay;<br /> They remain seated firmly in the darkness<br /> Of their own understanding,<br /> Resting upon their laurels by which<br /> They have highly esteemed themselves...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==Stained Glass== <br /><i>One who peers through stained glass<br /> Can not behold his own image,<br /> Nor is he able to see those inside clearly;<br /> For he sees only an outline,<br /> A blur of color obscuring his vision...<br /> <br /> And those on the inside who peer outward<br /> Remain blinded, able to perceive only<br /> A shadow of what truly is,<br /> Holding up the hand against the brightness,<br /> For fear of the noonday sun<br /> Which is about to come in...<br /> <br /> Thus they prefer the light filtered<br /> And the brilliance masked,<br /> By means of all this painted glass...<br /> <br /> What then shall a people such as this do<br /> When night has fallen?...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==The Humble, Penitent Man== <br /><i>It is the humble, penitent man<br /> Who gives Me glory in all his ways;<br /> For he seeks to honor Me,<br /> To please Me above all else...<br /> <br /> He wants no part in the ways of this world,<br /> Neither does he seek glory for himself;<br /> By his actions he shines forth,<br /> Seeking glory for The One alone who is God...<br /> <br /> Thus the man who places Me foremost,<br /> In all things, shall also be first<br /> When The Glory comes...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==The King Eternal== <br /><i>Behold, the footsteps of The Lord shake the earth! The footsteps of The Lord shall tread the winepress of the wrath of His fury! The presence of The Lord shall break apart the tall mountains; His power shall bring down every mountain, every high place shall be brought low! For the presence of The Lord is strong and mighty, and the anger of The Lord is hot and burns in the heat of His jealousy!... Who can turn back The Lord’s anger, once it is kindled? Who can prevent The Most High from performing His will?! Whose glory is like The Lord’s?!<br /> <br /> Who comes as The King above all kings wearing the raiment of God, whose majesty is beyond compare?!... Who is able to stand in the day of His wrath, or survive the power of His sword which proceeds from His mouth, the day He strikes through the heart of all people and lays His enemies waste, the day every adversary is consumed in the brightness of His coming?! For He is mighty in battle and His justice is swift, His victory absolute!<br /> <br /> Who is The King of Glory?!...<br /> <br /> YahuShua HaMashiach, HE is The King of Glory!<br /> His power is infinite, His love never-ending!...<br /> <br /> HE is The King Everlasting,<br /> The King of Righteousness!...<br /> <br /> His grace is shed abroad to<br /> Every contrite and humble spirit;<br /> His forgiveness is pure, ever-flowing<br /> Into the hearts of the penitent,<br /> Restoring them to righteousness and life!...<br /> <br /> Yes, He is The One and Only King Eternal!<br /> There is no other, there is none like Him!<br /><br /><br /></i> ==In Union With The Messiah== <br /><i>Beloved, there is a day coming<br /> When you shall enter My presence<br /> And never leave it, a day<br /> When you shall behold My face,<br /> Says The Lord...<br /> <br /> And wheresoever your heart leads you,<br /> There will I be also,<br /> With you always where you are...<br /> <br /> Whether you journey to the heights<br /> Of the mountains, or to the<br /> Farthest reaches of creation,<br /> There I am, with you where you are...<br /> <br /> Beloved, all creation is Mine,<br /> And all I have is yours;<br /> For you are Mine,<br /> Even as I am yours also...<br /> <br /> Together, forever.<br /> <br /> For the glory you have seen,<br /> And that which you have imagined,<br /> Has until now been measured in a human way...<br /> <br /> Yet the glory of The Lord is of such a kind!...<br /> <br /> Glory which has always been,<br /> Glory with no beginning and no end;<br /> Having neither height, nor depth,<br /> Nor length, nor width...<br /> <br /> For My glory is life and that love we share,<br /> A gift of understanding which comes<br /> By knowledge of The Holy...<br /> <br /> Glory which can not yet be fully realized,<br /> Nor are there words sufficient<br /> To open your understanding...<br /> <br /> Fulfillment, which only comes by union.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==My Love Endures Forever== <br /><i>Long after the glory of men has passed away,<br /> With the height of their kingdoms turned to dust,<br /> My love endures!...<br /> <br /> Long after the stars you behold<br /> In the heavens have ceased from shining,<br /> My love endures!...<br /> <br /> Deeper and wider than space and time,<br /> My love endures!...<br /> <br /> Even before creation, My love endures;<br /> And after, My love remains...<br /> <br /> <br /> For I shall be your God,<br /> And you shall be My people,<br /> As long as My love endures...<br /> <br /> Says The Lord.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==I AM GOD== <br /><i>I am He who formed the earth and all you see in the heavens, He who set the foundations and called creation forth by the Word of His power and the vastness of His knowledge, causing all things to be!<br /> I made the matrix, and set all things in order; I am He who formed it! I know all the hidden parts; even the most minute detail, by which all things are made, is known to Me! Behold, I see the inward parts; from the innermost depths to that which can not be seen by man, all is known to Me!<br /> <br /> Before Me is the whole of creation at all times!...<br /> No distance is far from Me,<br /> No measure is too great for Me<br /> And no weight is too heavy...<br /> <br /> That which is beyond your comprehension<br /> Is known to Me each morning,<br /> And every evening I behold the<br /> Whole of creation and consider...<br /> <br /> For I am The Lord...<br /> <br /> YAHUWAH is My name.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==The Volumes of Truth== <br /><i>Thus says The Lord:</i> Beloved, this Word, even every Volume to every Letter, is the Word of My glory, which I have put forth once again... <i>A testament of My love and sacrifice, the announcement of My coming, a proclamation of truth, revelation of who I really am!... The Trumpet Call of God, so all those called and chosen may hear and come to Me in their proper time and season.</i><br /> Behold, it is also a strong correction for all those who have taken to themselves MY name and MY Word, to pollute it, a plumb line for this wicked generation! For this Word is a waving banner, an ensign to all nations!... <i>A trumpet of alarm and war, the sound of recompense and judgment, which shall soon fall upon every nation!<br /> <br /> For I AM WHO I AM!...<br /> <br /> The Only Begotten of The Father!<br /> The One True God and Savior!<br /> The Mashiach!...<br /> <br /> YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH!<br /><br /><br /></i> ==Keep Watch== <br /><i>Thus declares The Lord:</i> All your setting of dates shall come to nothing, and all your precise predictions shall fail. For I may take them before or after. For I am God... <i>Behold, the first election is made, the time of bundling passed. Thick clouds have risen in the west, the hard rains have come, and who in all the earth is able to prevent it as it draws near, or hinder it when it arrives? Lo, a mighty wind blows in the east, yet who is aware of it, until it has overtaken them?<br /> <br /> Therefore, keep watch,<br /> For you know not the time<br /> Of The Lord’s coming...<br /> <br /> Whether it be in the first,<br /> Or in the second,<br /> Or in the third watch of the night,<br /> You know not the time of His return...<br /> <br /> You know not the day or the hour...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.<br /><br /><br /></i> ==AWAKEN== <br /><i>The mountains tremble and the hills quiver,<br /> The oxen grumble in their stalls<br /> And the lambs leap about in their places,<br /> FOR I AM COME...<br /> <br /> Do you hear the sound of My heart<br /> Pounding within My chest, the thunder<br /> Rumbling as the storm approaches?<br /> Look how the lightning flashes upon the southern skies,<br /> See how the clouds roil on the western horizon...<br /> <br /> Behold, the northern lands are anxious,<br /> The isles of the east are unsettled<br /> And the deserts burn with hatred,<br /> FOR I AM COME...<br /> <br /> Behold, the trumpet is blown<br /> In the four corners, the warning broadcast<br /> In all the earth, and still you sleep!...<br /><br /> AWAKEN!...<br /><br /> I AM COME![http://www.thevolumesoftruth.com/I_AM_COME]...<br /> <br /> <br /> Says The Lord.<br /><br /><br /></i> [[category: Words To Live By...
