Insights on Your Will

/ Pearls of Wisdom, Posts / / , , , , , , ,

You know what it is to pursue something. Let’s use a job as an example. First, you know that you want to make a change in your life. Then you look about within yourself to answer the question of what kind of change would satisfy you. Then you scan the options. Next you choose the option of a new job. You begin to scan the options of what kind of job. You then narrow your search as you make choices. You continue the process of using your will over and over again. You walk away from many options and walk toward others. You turn down this and that. Your will becomes stronger as you use it more and more. Matthew 28:19-20 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Ephesians 6:3 Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. 2 Timothy 2:4  4 No soldier in active service gets entangled in the [ordinary business] affairs of civilian life; [he avoids them] so that he may please the one who enlisted him to serve. 5 And if anyone competes as an athlete [in competitive games], he is not crowned [with the wreath of victory] unless he competes according to the rules. 6 he hard-working farmer [who labors to produce crops] ought to be the first to receive his share of the crops.7 Think over the things I am saying [grasp their application], for the Lord will grant you insight and understanding in everything.. Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Him who strengthens me. Luke 9:62 But Jesus said to him, No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.

It’s All About Love

My supply of Love for you will never run out. That is why I can cover all your sins. I have more than enough Love for you to do that. I Am the True Giver of Love. That is what I do. Every act of Mine is an act of Love . . . no matter what it looks like in the moment. Keep watching Me and you will see. Love gives itself away. That is the nature of True Love. It’s focus is outward . . . not inward. I Am focused on you! John 3:16  For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 1 Peter 4:8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.  Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.  Psalm 86:15 But you, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness. 1 Corinthians 16:14 Let all that you do be done in love. John 13:34-35 So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other.  Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.  Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.

Do You Really Want Me?

To be with Me is both the easiest thing you will ever do and the hardest. Use your will. Desire Me. Turn from other desires and distractions and give your self over to one pursuit . . . Me. Jeremiah 29:13-14 13 You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you, declares the LORD,  Jeremiah 24:7 I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the LORD. They will be My people, and I will be their God, for they will return to Me with all their heart. Matthew 7:14 But the gate to life is very narrow. The road that leads there is so hard to follow that only a few people find it. Matthew 16:24, 25 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me…  Matthew 25:1, 10, 13 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom… Those who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet, and the door was shut. . . Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour. Proverbs 8:17 I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me.

Love=Power

/ Pearls of Wisdom, Posts / / , ,

Some things are powered by gasoline. Some by electricity. Some by solar power, some by steam, some by nuclear power. You, My Beloved, are powered only by My Love. Receive more of My Love and you receive more power. No Love=no power. Lots of My Love=lots of My power. Open up and take in My Love for you! Ephesians 3:16-20 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.”

Do You Really Want Me?

My eyes roam the earth seeking those who want My Love. I long to give them My Love. That is the nature of Real Love. I can only give Love away. Love never stops. Therefore the more it gives the more it has to give. My supply of Love for you will never run out. That is why I can cover all your sins. Psalm 116:1-2 I love the Lord, because he hears me; he listens to my prayers. He listens to me every time I call to him. 2 Chronicles 16:9 For the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the earth so that He may support those whose heart is completely His. Jeremiah 17:10 I am the LORD who searches the heart, who tests the inner depths to give to each person according to what he deserves, according to the fruit of his deeds. Jeremiah 31:3 The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.

True Love

/ Pearls of Wisdom, Posts / / , , , , , , , , , , , ,

True Love must be shared. Love cannot remain shut up into itself. That is not possible. That is not the nature of Real Love. It must be given away. It’s focus is on an “other,” or a “receiver” rather than on it’s self. Real Love never stops the act of Loving that which will receive it’s Love. I Am Love. I Made you to receive Love from Me. Acts 20:35 . . .  remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ Luke 6:30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. 31 Do to others as you would have them do to you. Matthew 22:37-39 “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.” John 13:34-35 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” First John 4:7-8 “Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.  Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.” John 15:12-13 “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”

Humility Before Honor

/ Pearls of Wisdom, Posts / / , , , , , , ,

Humbly accept My work and even be grateful. Your acceptance and cooperation will make the process easier for you. You will have peace when you submit to My kind ways no matter what instrument of Love I use on you. Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning for those who submit to My Ways and patiently trust in My Love. It never fails. I Love you with Real Love. I Am Wisdom. Psalm 30:5  Weeping may endure for a night, But a shout of joy comes in the morning. Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the Lord, shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles. They shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint. James 4:10 Humble yourselves [with an attitude of repentance and insignificance] in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you [He will lift you up, He will give you purpose].

The Promise of the Pruning

/ Pearls of Wisdom, Posts / / , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Hard and frozen heart ground requires very sharp blades and perfect timing to be turned into soft soil that wants to receive My Love-fertilizer. Open your own heart-ground while you wait for Me. Do not resist My work in you. Recognize that I Am focusing on your heart . . . not just someone else’s. I Am plowing your ground . . . not just that difficult one’s heart. I Am thawing frozen ground and breaking up hardness within your heart . . . not just others whom you think need plowing. John 15:1 1“I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.  . . .  7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness. 1 Peter 5:6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, 7 casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Matthew 13:23 Hear then the parable of the sower:. . .23 As for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty.”

Wait on Me

/ Pearls of Wisdom, Posts / / , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Learn to see My Love in everything. Do not look at pain alone. Look beyond death and destruction. Look below the surface and there you will find My Hand of Love. Be patient. You cannot see the sprout that grows from My Love until it breaks through the ground. You will see My Love break through. I promise. Death and darkness cannot hold back the force of My Love. Be patient. Look beyond the surface. Look past today. Look under the appearances. Remember there are unseen things. Time is not a problem for My Love. I Am patient. You be patient also. My Love never, ever fails. Wait on Me. Isaiah 58:11 The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. James 3:17-18 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. 18 Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness. James 5:7 Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. 8 You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near. Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
