MY HEART ACHES

My people perish for lack of knowledge, lack of the knowledge of Me, of who I am, of how much I love them, and of how much I wish to have a relationship with them. Those who do know Me, know that when your hearts ache, My heart aches more. It is not My desire to see any of My loved ones suffer. Much tragedy is unfolding in your lives, in your nations, and in your personal lives. Much more will come as well, for the hearts of so many have waxed cold to Me. The invitation to share a life of communion with Me has been ignored by most. Therefore, events will unfold as prophesied to bring about all that has been foretold. Please, while there is yet a moment of time, draw near to Me. Allow Me to embrace you and shield you from the darkness that is overtaking the world. All it takes is for you to say yes to Me. All else is crumbling in the world. I am the only Way, Truth, and Life. Choose well, for you are choosing your eternity. 





Hosea 4:6

King James Version (KJV)
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.



Isaiah 53:4a

4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows



John 10:10

10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.




Matthew 24:12

12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.



John 14:6

6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

UPDATE ON PRAYER REQUEST

Dear readers,

I wanted to express my familys' sincere and humble appreciation for all the prayers that are being lifted up for my brother since his accident. It has been amazing to watch God's hand of grace moving through the community, as people send cards, visit my brother, send gifts and flowers and cook meals. Considering the fact that Jeff was under the car and had his hair and face burned, we are amazed at the quick healing that has taken place. The staples, about 12 of them, were removed from the back of his head yesterday, and another scan of his neck was done. A second MRI of his brain will be done next week. His arm is casted now as well. Although he is still hurting and bruised, he continues to heal and improve, and we know it is the prayers of the faithful that have been instrumental in his healing. Thank you all so very much, and please continue to keep him and the other families involved in your prayers as well. Blessings,

James 5:16

King James Version (KJV)
16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

I WALK WITH YOU IN THE ASHES

My children, there is a purpose in the difficulties and trials you endure. Know that much is required of My people, but also know that you will never be given more than you can endure. Just as I came and willingly surrendered My will to the Father in humility and obedience, you are required to do the same. Obedience is the key to your success. My Fathers' will is always accomplished in the earth, and your willingness to surrender demonstrates My power and strength through you. It is for you to be small in this worlds eyes, and Me to be magnified. Your obedience allows My grace to pour forth and accomplish things eternal. When I gave My all on the cross, the veil was torn giving you direct access to the Throne of God in every moment. Take advantage of this precious gift! For this is how much the Father loves you. You are hindered no longer from receiving all the blessings and graces that were made available to each one of you. You hear Me speak of endurance and perserverance much. Just as I endured much pain, suffering, and sorrow in My earthly life, so will you. But remember, it is through the continual pressing in and pursuing of My Holy Will that you will succede and be sanctified. I ask nothing of you that I did not accomplish Myself. In this is your perfect example. It is done, but I also walk hand in hand, side by side with you in your journey, for you are never alone. To the soul in quiet and constant submission will I carry through every trial and tribulation that comes your way. I tell you, My burden is light. Rest in this My people. Learn this now, and quickly, for a time is coming, even is already here, that will shake even the strongest of Mine to their core. So many of you are ill-prepared to stand before the fires of My judgements. Submit your will and your lives today, in every moment. These lives you have been given are but a vapor of time. You tend to see things most often from an earthly perspective, however, I am imploring you to now see things from an eternal perspective. You are not of this world, and so as your Saviour, who asks nothing more than what I have already given, walk with Me and endure the hardships and scoffing and mockery,  injustices and sorrows, so that once again My love may be made known to those who are lost and walk in utter darkness. Do not be afraid saints, for I have overcome!

Him who has overcome the world,
Saviour Yeshua 


1 Corinthians 10:13

King James Version (KJV)
13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.


Mark 14:36

36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.


Romans 2:6-8

Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,


Proverbs 13:13

13 Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.



Matthew 27:50-53

50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.



1 Corinthians 10:13

13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.


Psalm 28:7

The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.


Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.
10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.


Romans 8:30

30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.


John 17:14-17

14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.


John 16:33

33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

PRAYER REQUEST PLEASE

Dear readers, 

I would invite you to pray for my brother who was involved in a very serious accident Monday night while shrimping off of a local bridge. He and two other young men were struck by an SUV traveling at 45mph. My brother was the only survivor. He is suffering from head injuries, burns, and a broken arm, but praise Yaweh he is alive and stable at this time. I am asking for a speedy healing, faith for his walk, and strength during this very difficult time. Also, as believers, we are called to intercede for the lost and suffering, and so I ask for prayers for the families of the two men that died as well as for the driver. Unfortunately, alcohol and texting were involved.  Please pray for their comfort and peace, and especially for the salvation of those who don't know Yeshua. It is amazing to watch our Father's hand of grace, even in the most traumatic situations. He is so good! Thank you so very much, and may the Creator of all keep you close to His heart, and shower you with His grace and mercy always, in Yeshua's name I pray, AMEN.

PASSOVER 2013

The Passover may properly be observed and celebrated this year from the Evening of March 25 until April 2, 2013. YES, with DESIRE the Lord wants you to observe Passover in REMEMBRANCE of Him and the great work of Redemption that He did for us.

The CROSS - wherein Messiah our Passover was sacrificed for us, is THE focus. We are pressed on every side. It could easily be
overwhelming, without focus on that greatest REALITY of all history.
It is all at the Cross. The reality of what our King did on that Cross outside the City of Jerusalem, on that Wednesday, Nissan 14, in 30 AD, is the Focus For Hope. The reality of that sacrifice will save us from the wrath to come, IF we continue in the way of that Blessed Hope. (John 8:31, Rom 11:22, Col 1:23, and 1 John 2:24) Those IF's in those profoundly important four Scriptures mean there is a condition, which MUST be met. The Cross is THE Focus, to keep
us directed to meet that condition that will keep the Blessed Hope.

None of us will have to endure anything compared to what He endured for us. During the three hours of the darkness on that Cross, Jesus was in agony, wrestling with the powers of darkness. He was making His soul an offering for the sin of SINNERS. Never were there three such hours since the day God created man upon the earth, never such a dark and awful scene. It was the turning point of that great love of the Creator for His creatures. The Redemption and Salvation of SINNERS, who would confess they were sinners, and turn away from sin, was being accomplished. The REQUIRED Sin Offering of Redemption was being accomplished.

As we think of the complaint that Jesus cried out to God, from Psalms 22:1, we should know our King in the midst of such agony was
teaching us something so important. He was teaching us how important the Word of God is to direct us in prayer. Scripture should be woven into prayer.

The believer may have tasted some bitterness, suffering, and pain.
Sometimes we may feel as Yeshua did on that Cross, that we have been forsaken. Knowing that He had that same feeling, which we will all experience in the valley of the shadow of death, provides substance and evidence of our Blessed Hope, no matter how bad our
circumstances may be. We can only form a very feeble idea of the
greatness of Christ's sufferings. Still this focus on the Cross gives understanding of the Savior's love toward SINNERS.

The SIN of SINNERS caused, and required, this greatest of all
injustices. Here we get deeper conviction of the vileness and evil
of sin. Here in that focus on the Cross, we get more understanding
of what we owe to Jesus Christ, Who ALONE delivers us from the wrath to come. There is NO OTHER Name, which will deliver from the wrath to come.

My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? His enemies wickedly
ridiculed His complaint. Many of the reproaches cast upon the Word
of God, and the people of God, arise, from gross failure to appreciate and understand such things. Messiah, just before He died, spoke in His full strength, to show that His life was not forced from Him. He IS The Life. Life is IN Him. He was required to exercise His will, according to the will of The Father, to FREELY choose to deliver His very life, and freely deliver His soul, mind, will, and emotions, into His Father's hands. He had strength to bid defiance to the powers of death. He did cry out, not only defiance to the powers of death, but FINAL victory over them. By His Eternal Spirit of Truth and Holiness, He became the required Sin OFFERING. He offered Himself to REDEEM us. Yeshua THE Messiah, being the Priest as well as the Sacrifice. He cried with a loud voice. Then He yielded up the ghost.

The Son of God upon the Cross did die by the violence of the pain He
suffered for the sin of SINNERS. His soul was separated from His
body, and so His body was left really and truly dead. It was certain
that Christ did die. It was required that He should die for the sin
of SINNERS. He had agreed to make Himself an Offering for Sin, and
He did it when He willingly gave up His life. In what He did on that
Cross the Love of God was manifested. In His death on that Cross the purpose for which the Son of God was manifested, to destroy the
works of the devil, was accomplished and made FOREVER CERTAIN. He said, IT IS FINISHED. The devil is a finished forever-defeated foe. Lucifer, Satan the devil, is finished and ultimately defeated, regardless of whatever false evidence we might see, or may personally experience, contrary to that FOREVER CERTAIN FINISHED REALITY.

There was a thick darkness over the land, from noon until three in
the afternoon. The Judean Jews attached to the temple complex were doing their utmost to extinguish the Son of God. THE JEWS DID NOT PUT HIM THROUGH THIS, IT WAS MY SIN AND YOUR SIN, WHICH CAUSED THIS HORROR, AND GREATEST OF INJUSTICE. HE BORE THAT INJUSTICE SO THAT WE MIGHT RECEIVE THE FRUIT OF THE INJUSTICE HE BORE FOR US. HE, AS ONLY HE COULD, DID MAKE THE PAYMENT FOR US. HIS PAYMENT OF THE PRICE WE COULD NOT PAY DID SATISFY THE REQUIRED JUSTICE OF THE HOLY GOD. HE SUBSTITUTED THE SACRIFICE OF HIMSELF TO PAY OUR DEBT BEFORE THE HOLY GOD. WOW! HOW COULD WE COMPLAIN OVER WHATEVER AFFLICTION THAT MAY BE REQUIRED FOR US TO ENDURE FOR HIS NAME SAKE?

The darkness signified the cloud which the human soul of Christ was
under, when He was making His soul an Offering for Sin. He did not
complain that His disciples forsook Him, but that His Father forsook
Him. In this He was made the SIN OFFERING, for us. When Paul
was to be offered as a sacrifice for the service of the Saints, he could
joy and rejoice, Philippians 2:17; but it is another thing to be offered as a sacrifice for the sin of sinners.

At the same instant that Jesus died, the veil of the temple was ripped and torn from the top to the bottom. This spoke terror to the unbelieving Judean Jews attached to Judaism's Temple and its priesthood. It was a sign of their destruction. However, the sign of the veil being ripped by God from top to bottom, that veil that barred access and vision of the MOST HOLY PLACE, speaks comfort to all believers in Messiah, Yeshua. For that torn veil signified the laying open of a new and living way into the MOST HOLY PLACE, by
the Blood of Jesus, THE LAMB OF GOD. To ourselves, and to all we
proclaim, BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD.

The confidence with which Christ had openly addressed God as His
Father, and committed His soul into His hands, even greatly affected
the Roman Centurion conducting the execution. Right views of Jesus
THE Christ, Yeshua THE Messiah, crucified, will reconcile the believer to the thought of death. We may not have a death wish, yet
we do long to see Him, to express Love to Him, and Praise Him, as He ought to be praised, IN HOLINESS, undefiled. What a great King. What a worthy King. The Savior, Redeemer, and Friend of SINNERS, was wounded and pierced to save SINNERS from the wrath to come. Jesus Christ SAVES, is all I know. There is no other name by which we might be saved. Jesus Christ died for SINNERS, and was resurrected for our justification. That is THE Gospel. There is NO OTHER gospel that a redeemed sinner can know, or tolerate.


Amen
