“Why,
O Lord, do you stand far off? Why do you hide Yourself in times of trouble”?
Psalms 10:1
Father,
these are the same questions that are asked today, we are not any different than
King David. I too have cried out; “Where are You, Lord, why are You not near;
why do You not reveal Yourself and heal me, or answer my questions”.
As I
reflected over my question, God spoke to
me: "Do not be afraid, for
I have come in order to test you, and in order that the fear of Me may remain
with you, so that you may not sin.
(Exodus 20:20)
Return and
repent and I will no longer look upon you in my anger, declares the Lord; I will
no longer be angry forever-Only acknowledge your iniquity; that you have
transgressed against Me, the Lord Your God. You have not obeyed My voice –return
-then I will give you shepherds after My own heart, who will feed you on
knowledge and understanding.
I am going
to send My messenger and he will clear the way before Me. My messenger will be
like a refiner's fire and like a fullers' soap and he will sit as a smelter and
purifier of silver and he will purify you and refine you like gold and silver in
righteousness. You will then be pleasing to Me as in the days of old and in the
former years. I will draw near to you, for I the Lord do not change -return to
Me and I will return to you, says the Lord.
I will
rebuke the devourer for you so that he will not destroy the fruits I have
instilled in you. You shall be blessed, for you are a delight to Me. Fear Me and
esteem My Name, for if you fear My Name the brightness of righteousness will
rise up with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and skip about like a
calf from its stall.
Child, have
faith, I will quicken My Word, I will show you clearly what My will is in your
situation. And once you understand My will, you will then be able to walk in
faith. I will teach you experientially of My faithfulness. I will allow
impossible situations to come upon you, then I am going to meet your need and
demonstrate My faithfulness and My ability to provide for your needs.
I Am going
to lift back a cover of my veil over your eyes and of your understanding and you
will get a glimpse of my glory; I will give you a glimpse of My power - I will
teach you to know Me and to walk in My ways. I will allow you to experience Me
and your faith will then not be limited to head knowledge. You will know deep
down in your heart that I am faithful and dependable.
I will rise
you up to understand My intent and understand My will and I will work through
you in great power. Have faith, my child.
My will has
been incorporated into you - the things I have been putting into your heart are
the things I want you to do. I have been cleaning you out. Do not trust your own
flesh but walk in that which I have been creating. Do not hesitate to come to Me
when you have difficultly with decisions.
I am the way
and I will teach you what is needed when you come to Me. If you will allow Me to
walk more fully in you, then you will have the desire of your heart.
Sit still
the next time you come to Me and I will show you what it is you have been crying
out for. I desire to show you Who I Am in My fullness. Trust is what I ask of
you today. Trust in Me the Creator of all things and ruler of all the darkness
that tries to resemble Me.
Fear
not child, you are called and anointed to walk upon all doubt that has a place
in this world because of man.
I
come to you this day and say, Come -You have been given the authority to tread
upon scorpions. I woo you! Come to Me!
Shalom,
Sweet Child.

This word was given to me by the Holy Spirit who told me to read Exodus 20:20,
Jeremiah and Romans 11 and more. He put these words into my Spirit to be shared
by all who reads them. Yes, He was speaking to me, but He impressed upon me that
many needed to hear this message. So therefore I am being obedient. Susie
Romans 7:14-18
Do you
not realize that you can choose your own master? You can choose sin (with death)
or else obedience (with acquittal). The one whom you offer your self --he will
take you and be your master and you will be his slave. Thank God that though you
once chose to be slaves of sin, now you have obeyed with all your heart the
teaching to which God has committed to you. And now you are free from
your old master, sin; and you have become a slave to your new
master, righteousness.
Question:
What would
you do if you had just heard the gates of heaven click behind your heels and you
knew you were through with the devil forever?
“I would
shout “Glory”
The Lord
says Shout it!
“I would cry
Hallelujah!!”
The Lord says,~ “Do It!”
What would
you do if you looked up and saw Jesus for the first time?
“I would bow
at His feet and kiss His nail scared hands and wash His feet with my tears.”
The Lord says, ~“Do It!”
When you see
His face to face-what will you tell Him?
“My soul
would break and torrents of praise will flood my lips"
“I will tell
You that You are wonderful!”
“You are
omnipotent, omniscient, immutable, immaculate, emancipated, incarnate, divine,
holy, awesome, wonderful”
Is there was
anything else You want to tell Him!
Yes! With a
sense of awe, I would simply say, “You are wonderful” I love You and I thank
You for being so patient, kind and loving with me. I thank You for dying for me.
True worship
is pouring out your soul as you express your love and adoration for Him. You
loose all consciousness of time…your focus will be only on Him!
(Fuchsia Pickett, Receiving Divine Revelation)
Parable of the Sower
Luke 8:4-15
The seed is
the Word of God, i.e. the truth of God-His own teaching.
The wayside
hearers head the Word, but only in a shallow, superficial way. It remained on
the surface of their lives. This makes it easy for the devil (the birds of the
air) to snatch it away.
The
rock-hearers heard the Word too, but they did not let the word break them. They
remained unrepentant. No encouragement (moisture) was given to the seed, so it
withered away and died. They made a bright profession of faith at first, but
there was no reality. There seemed to be life, but there was no root beneath
the surface. When trouble came, they abandoned their Christian profession.
The thorny
ground hearers seemed to get along nicely for awhile, but they proved that they
were not genuine believers by their failure to go on steadfastly. The cares,
riches, and pleasures of life took control, and the words was stifled and
smothered.
The good
ground represented true believer's whose hearts were noble and good. They not
only received the Word, but allowed it to mold their lives. They were teachable
and obedient, developing true Christian character and producing fruit for God.
