Don’t look at others. . . Only Me

/ Pearls of Wisdom, Posts / / , ,

Just as it is wrong to look into your neighbor’s window of his house, so also it is wrong to attempt to look into the window of your neighbor’s mind. Keep your thoughts on Me. I can then protect you from sin. Romans 13:10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. Titus 2:11-14 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, 12 training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, 13 waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.

Real Love

/ Lessons & Parables, Posts / /

Love does not include any element of fear.  Many people think that when they are extremely concerned or afraid for someone, then that means they have a great love for them.  This is not real love.  Real love does not include any form of fear.  You can be afraid for someone if you choose, but all you are doing is interacting with a spirit of fear.  This does not benefit you or the one you think you love.  It is a misconception that the more one worries about another, the more one must love them. There is no fear in real love.  Real love consists of faith in Us and complete submission to Our Will.  Real love takes its child to the One Who can protect and heal him in total confidence and peace.  Real love rests in the knowledge that Our Divine Will is the most loving thing that can ever happen to someone, no matter how much pain is involved.  Real love rests and waits on Us rather than panicking about what may happen to the person.  Real love brings the beloved peaceful assurance – not a display of fear.  Real love completely lets the beloved go into Our care, rather than feeling like it must intervene.  Real love comes to Us to meet its needs rather than crave reciprocity from the beloved.  Real love does not fear rejection because it serves while keeping an attitude of grace and peace toward the beloved without holding on to expectation.  Where there is no expectation, there is no fear.  Where there is faith, there is love. Come to Us to have your needs for love met and then you will have true love for your beloved.  Remember, there is no fear in true love.  Losing the one you love is not to be feared, if you truly love them.  You want the best for them and not for you.  Therefore, you give them into Our Hands.  If that means a separation from you, then you submit in peace, knowing that Our Will is the very best thing that can happen for your beloved.  Then keep soaking in Our Love for you. The more you soak in Our Love, the more your fearful, selfish “love” will be transformed into True Love.  This cannot happen without first soaking in Our Love. We Love you! Death may be long, but it will end. 1 John 4:18 If we really love God, we will not be afraid of him. We cannot love him completely and also be afraid. We would only be afraid of God if we thought that he would punish us. So, if someone is afraid that God will punish them, it shows that they do not completely know God’s love.

The Hostage

/ Lessons & Parables, Posts / / , , , , , ,

There once was a woman who lived in a foreign land. She was the daughter of the King of the greatest kingdom of all. Even though she looked just like her Father, the great King, and everyone knew she was His daughter, she continued to live in a foreign land. Her only communication with Him was found in an old letter, written by her Father long before she was born. You see, the princess had been taken hostage by foreigners when she was born. They knew that they could control her as long as she never wanted to be with her Father, the King. So, rather than keeping her locked in a dungeon, they locked her desire to leave in a prison of lies. “Your Father is so powerful that He controls all life and death. He is so just that He cannot have anything that isn’t according to an impossible standard in His Kingdom. If you cross the border between our land and His, you will be arrested and sent to the place of judgement. All His judgements end in death. “ For years, the princess lived in fear of her Father. She remained with the foreigners and they didn’t have to worry about her wanting to go Home. Then one day, the princess met a man who was from her Father’s Kingdom. He told her that her Father made a way for imperfect people to live with Him in His Kingdom. She rejoiced! Perhaps she could actually meet Him! “Oh no,” said her captors, who had gained her trust. “He may have made a way for you to see Him in the future, but the way is too dangerous now. If you try to go to Him now, you will fall into deep places where there are demons who will trick you. They will disguise themselves as your Family and you will believe them. Then your Father will be angry with you and He will send you to a prison that will never end. Remember that He is very strict and judges His own children harshly. You better stay far away from Your Father’s Presence. It’s too dangerous. “ Fear and depression came over the princess. Her heart yearned for the Love of her Father. It seemed that closeness with Him will never be possible. She sat down in her chair and held the old letter He had written long ago, convinced that holding His letter would be the only way she could ever hold Him or be held by Him. Tears of loneliness fell as she thought of the barriers she was told were between her and closeness with her Father. As the days went by, the princess held her Father’s letter more often. She didn’t know what to think about Him and what she was told. All she knew was that her heart contained a yearning for her Father like never before. Who is He? Doesn’t He love her? Doesn’t He want to be with her, hug her and talk to her? And what about the demons who might trick her? One day, as she held His letter, these words began to glow, He satisfies the thirsty soul and fills the hungry soul with goodness You will seek Me and find Me, when you will search for Me with all your heart. Then I will be found by you,” says Adonai Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love. Therefore I have drawn you with loving kindness. Mercy triumphs over judgment. But the Lord is trustworthy—and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one. The princess received courage. She closed her eyes and, in her heart, ran Home to her Father. His embrace of Love took away all her fear and loneliness. His spoken Words to her filled her with peace. Never again would she be held in captivity by lies. She had her Papa. No lie can separate them now.

Ask for Weakness So . . . . He Can Be Your Strength

/ Lessons & Parables, Posts / / ,

When you get to the point of being so broken that you cry out, “I can do nothing!,” then you can do all things in/with Us. As long as you can do anything on your own, you won’t do anything through Us. We do not share Our glory. We are not impressed with your strength, but with your weakness and utter dependence. Complete resignation and admission to the truth of your condition is necessary. Ask Us to weaken your natural strength and reveal weeds. Then you will be strong with Us and Our Presence. Our ways are not man’s ways. Only those who admit they are blind and need guidance can be led. Humble yourself and We will lift you up and do all things in and through you. Pride leads you to be only a stubborn, misled, blind soul. Beware of pride. We Love you! Neither give in to a spirit of fear. When you see your weakness and look at the days ahead, do not be afraid. Lean on Us as you accept your weakness. Be fully aware of your weakness, but be fully aware of Our Love, strength, and soundness of mind. Be as an infant in Our Arms and rest. A baby in his mother’s arms rests, even though the bill collector is coming and there is a storm warning outside. Accept your weakness and Our peace to the point that you actually enjoy your weakness. Then your soul will be quieted like a newborn baby. Resting in Our Arms is actively following Us. Resting in Us is following. Our ways are not your ways. Enjoy your weakness and rest with Us. Matthew 6:31-33 So don’t be anxious, asking, ‘What will we eat?,’ ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘How will we be clothed?’For it is the pagans (unbelievers) who set their hearts on all these things. Your heavenly Father knows you need them all. But seek first his Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 1 Corinthians 12:9-10 But the Lord said, “My grace is all you need. Only when you are weak can everything be done completely by my power.” So I will gladly boast about my weaknesses. Then Christ’s power can stay in me. Yes, I am glad to have weaknesses if they are for Christ. I am glad to be insulted and have hard times. I am glad when I am persecuted and have problems, because it is when I am weak that I am really strong. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust God with all your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he’s the one who will keep you on track. Don’t assume that you know it all. Run to God! Run from evil! Proverbs 28:2  A man is a fool to trust himself! But those who use God’s wisdom are safe.

The Paralytic and Stephen

/ Posts, Scripture Lessons / / , ,

Pearl- While driving on a long trip, I asked Jesus, “Please teach me more. I can’t have my Bible in front of me, but I do have plenty of time. I can listen.” Pearl, in the account of the paralyzed man who was let down through the  roof, the Pharisees had asked Me a question. I had forgiven the man of his sins and the Pharisees asked, “Who can forgive sins but God alone?” I answered their question by demonstrating My authority. I asked them a question, “Which is easier, to forgive or to heal?” The Pharisees did not answer Me, because they had never forgiven or healed anyone. They honestly did not know the answer. I know. It is easier to heal a sick body or do anything else than it is to forgive someone who has sinned against you. Think about it, Pearl. What are very difficult things to do for people? Go to the dentist? Go back to school? Speak in public? Plan a funeral? Learn a new language? What is difficult for you? Now think of a person who has wronged, wounded, and hurt you. Perhaps they feel justified in their actions and do not want forgiveness. Now which is easier – to do that difficult thing, or to forgive that person to the point of looking at them without remembering their sin, being happy to serve them, talk with them, cheer them, console them, and be affectionate toward them? Only My Holy Spirit can give you the power to forgive. You cannot do this on your own. In the realm of My Kingdom, forgiveness is tremendous power on display. This power you can only receive by spending time with Me and submitting to My Will. It is truly supernatural, miraculous power. It takes much more power to forgive than to heal. I want you to do both. Luke 5:17-26  One day Jesus was teaching, and Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. They had come from every village of Galilee and from Judea and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was with Jesus to heal the sick. 18 Some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus. 19 When they could not find a way to do this because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus. 20 When Jesus saw their faith, he said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.” 21 The Pharisees and the teachers of the law began thinking to themselves, “Who is this fellow who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?” 22 Jesus knew what they were thinking and asked, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts? 23 Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? 24 But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.” 25 Immediately he stood up in front of them, took what he had been lying on and went home praising God. 26 Everyone was amazed and gave praise to God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.” Come to Me in the simplicity of a little child. If you are self-conscious, then confess your pride. Desire to kill pride. Ask Me. Mourn over your pride, for it prevents you from awareness of Me. We cannot have real fellowship where there is pride. Strip all earth desires from your heart. Desire only Me. Sit still before Me with only your need and desire for Me, like a child or simple-hearted person. Be confident in My desire to be with you. I died so that all barriers between Us would be torn down. It was for the purpose of intimacy with you that I died. It is My greatest desire. Matthew 19:13-15 Then some children were brought to Him so that He might lay His hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them. 14 But Jesus said, “Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” 15 After laying His hands on them, He departed from there. The Father, Holy Spirit, and I enjoy continual intimate and intense relations with Each Other and in Each Other. We desire the same with you. That is what you were created for–no other higher purpose than to be in union and fellowship with Us. So approach My Presence in confidence that this is in My perfect Will. Yes, I will “show up.” Be still and know that I AM God. I AM God and I speak. I Love you, My child, and I want fellowship with you. Forget the past. Forget the current events and worries. Just enter into the Secret Place with Me. David was a man after My own Heart. That is usually interpreted as Me having a greater Love for him. I do Love David, but there is much more. Notice the word, “after.” It means, to pursue. David pursued me. During his life, David never stopped seeking Me. During good times, he sought My presence. During tragedy, he sought my Presence. He wrote songs to allow music to usher him into My Presence. When he sinned, he begged Me not to take My Presence from him, because he loved it so much. David sought Me with all his heart – and he found Me. Acts 13: 21-22 After removing Saul, he made David their king. God testified concerning him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.’ Be still in your soul

The story of the ten lepers

/ Posts, Scripture Lessons / /

Pearl – While driving on a long trip, I asked Jesus, “Please teach me more. I can’t have my Bible in front of me, but I do have plenty of time. I can listen.” Jesus – Immediately He said, “In the story of the ten lepers, I healed all ten while they were on their way to show themselves to the priests. Only one came back to thank Me, when they discovered their leprosy was gone. Only one was grateful and turned around to find Me. He not only thanked Me, but he fell down at My feet.” I asked, “Jesus, what were the nine thinking? Why not run back and say, ‘Thank you!’?” Jesus – Pride leads men to entitlement. Pride says, ‘I deserve this. Of course this should happen. It is only right.’ The one who returned was a Samaritan. He had no sense of entitlement. He realized his sinful state and recognized this as a gift of undeserved Love. He didn’t just say thanks. He cried in a loud voice. He was not concerned about what the onlookers thought. His sinful needy soul came in contact with Love and understanding. He recognized the truth about himself and loved My mercy. The others never saw the truth about themselves. They were Jews who simply had the misfortune of this disease. Of course, it was only right that they should be healed. They did everything right, were from good families in the Jewish traditions. Pride is blinding, Pearl. Pride says, ‘My wife should do such and such, because, after all, she is my wife and I deserve this. My parents should give me such and such, because I deserve it. My family should treat me with kindness, because I serve them well and give them love and kindness. They should see how much I love them and love me back.’ Pride expects gifts and service. Pride demands a return of favors and the same or higher level of service. Pride has self-centered expectations. No one is grateful for what they feel is rightfully theirs to begin with. Humility focuses on Me, Pearl, and your constant state of dependency on Me. You can do nothing without Me. Without Me, you only deserve separation from Me. I asked, “So what can be done about the nine to help them see?” He said, “I healed the nine because, while they were yet sinners, I Loved them and was going to die for them. The power of Love, Love to a hardened heart – hardened by pride and jealousy – is like a battering ram. You must ram the door with Love over and over again, and eventually the door will give way. Pearl, keep using the power of My Love on those hard, blind, and prideful hearts in your life. Love them often. You have seen how blind they are to your services and gifts for them. Pride does that. It does not see or acknowledge acts of Love. Don’t be discouraged. Love always wins. Come to Me continually for a refill of My Presence and Love. You can’t give Love you don’t have. Come soak in My Love until you are overflowing. Then their pride, demands, and anger won’t be intimidating. You will be like a battering ram to their hearts. Miracles will begin. Just wait and watch.” “Pearl, do you feel that feeling of fulfillment and joy?” “Yes, Jesus. It is Your Presence in me.” “Pearl, you have had a measure of this feeling with those in your life I gave you. Your children brought you joy and fulfillment. Being with certain people fulfilled you. Be careful. When you are fulfilled by someone other than Me, then  you are in danger. This relationship might become a soul-tie or idolatry for you. Back away and come to Me. Reaffirm My place in your heart. Choose again – Me or that relationship. I Am jealous for you, Pearl. I won’t share you with anyone. There are only two allowed in Our world, Pearl – you and Me. My Love for you is intense and all-consuming. You are Mine and Mine alone.” “Jesus, there is something about You being jealous for me that is hugely attractive, appealing, wonderful, and makes me crazy in love with You! I choose You! Take every one else away. I choose You!” Luke 17:11-19  11 On the way to Jerusalem he was passing along between Samaria and Galilee. 12 And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers, who stood at a distance 13 and lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.” 14 When he saw them he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went they were cleansed. 15 Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice; 16 and he fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan. 17 Then Jesus answered, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? 18 Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?” 19 And he said to him, “Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well.”

Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you

/ Posts, Scripture Lessons / / , ,

Ephesians 5:14 This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” Are you defiled?  Are you becoming more and more defiled each day? A newborn baby has not yet expressed defilement.  His purity is attractive.  He is not stained with words of anger, unforgiveness, jealousy, doubt, revenge, lust, dishonesty, or rebellion.  His heart has not yet been blackened and hardened by the cold-heartedness of sin.  He was born into a world and life of sin, but it has not taken hold of him yet. His spirit is still warm. Sin is there, but it has not yet defiled him. When a person is exposed to the cold blasts of winter air and freezing temperatures, his body begins the process of dying from the cold. It is the same with sin and the human heart.  The longer the body remains out in the dangerous cold, the more heat of Life is lost.  As the heat of Truth and Life dims, the cold takes over.  The body is never neutral.  It either has the warmth of Life or it has the cold of death. No matter what the person does, exposure to the cold temperature of death will begin to harden the body.  It is the same with sin.  The longer a human heart is exposed to sin and allows it to remain, the colder and more hardened the heart becomes.  This is why you rarely see a young child with a hard, cold heart.  You will see sin progress within that heart each day until the hardness is complete and numbness sets in. When the body is being destroyed by cold, it passes the point of pain and becomes numb as the nerves and tissue are damaged.  An unfeeling heart is in danger just as an unfeeling body.  The longer the body remains exposed to the cold, the more the numbness spreads.  The tissue of the body then becomes hardened as it dies.  The blood of life does not flow through any longer.  The person does not realize what is happening.  He does not know that he is dying. When the heart remains exposed to darkness and sin, it also passes the point of pain to become numb and then hardened.  The warmth of Truth and Life no longer flow through the heart.  The understanding of the mind becomes limited.  Cold-heartedness toward Me, parents, co-workers, relatives, and life in general spreads like frostbite within the soul.  The human does not realize he is in danger of spiritual death because he is numb and without understanding.  Occasionally he may be surprised at what he can do or experience without feeling pain or guilt. The last stage of a body that is dying of frostbite is sleepiness.  The body not only feels no pain, but it desires to sleep.  The person believes he is not in danger, but only in need of sleep.  He may lie down in the snow and intend to sleep for just a while, thinking all is well.  He does not perceive impending doom.  He does not pay attention to the warning signs either from his own body or from others.  He is not far from physical death. This last stage of physical frostbite is a warning to those who have remained away from My warm Love for a long time.  The soul which has become cold-hearted toward Me and others is in danger of allowing the sleep of death to take over.  When one is asleep, they do not see the Truth of their state of being.  They do not pay attention to warning signs and ignore others who attempt to help them.  They prefer numbness and sleep to the Truth. This is the process of defilement from darkness and sin.  How defiled are you?  Ask yourself these questions:  How soft and loving is my heart toward each person Jesus has placed near me?  How content am I with my present circumstances?  Am I at peace or am I restless?  What words are coming out of my mouth?  Do I speak negatively about someone?  Do I speak words of self-pity? Do I speak truth or tell lies?  Do I speak words to impress others?  Do I defend my self at all costs?  Do I place my needs above others? Do I  feel compassion toward others?  Do I understand how others feel and desire to comfort them? Do I prefer to fellowship with the lowly and the needy?  Do I lose patience with those who are undesirable? Do I speak of the past in a negative way? Do I speak of the present in a negative way and long for the “good old days?”  Have I lost my care for the pain of others and my desire to know my Maker? Awake you who sleep and slumber.  Arise from your bed of death.  Ask Me to thaw your heart.  Ask Me to blow warm Love back through your spirit.  Ask Me to show you the Truth.  Seek Me with all your heart.  Set your whole mind and being on coming close to the fire of My Love.  Put away all the things of earth that blow freezing coldness onto your heart.  Run from the dark frost.  Seek Me and My warm healing Love quickly.  Do not let anything or anyone keep you from coming to My fire of deliverance and peace.  Wake up and run. I Love you.  I Am here. I know how to warm your heart and breathe Life within you again.  Come to Me and I will purify your soul and make you clean as a newborn babe. I know how to restore your innocence.  I can make all things new. Matthew 15:16-20   Jesus said, “Are you still lacking in understanding also?  Do you not understand that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and is eliminated?  But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those

The cure to pain

/ Pearls of Wisdom, Posts / / ,

If your only desire is for Our togetherness, like two Lovers, then losing anything in earth-life will not cause you pain. 2 Timothy 1:8-9 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord or of me His prisoner, but join with me in suffering for the gospel according to the power of God, Who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity . . .

Demonstrating your love for Me

/ Pearls of Wisdom, Posts / / ,

There are many ways to die for the one you love. How often and to what extent you are willing to suffer the pain of losing your own desires demonstrates the extent of your love. Will you die for Me? Will you die for Me in a thousand big and small ways? I Am with you in each death of your fleshly desires and ties to earth-life. I Love you, My lover and friend. John 15:12-17 This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you  servants,  for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. These things I command you, so that you will love one another.
