“How to Change Your World”
“I want to speak plainly to you, My beloved children,” says the Lord. “I want to speak to you about something which will change your life and the lives of those around you, so long as you desire to change. I AM be ing honest with you when I say most of My children rarely pray, that is, speak to Me or carry on a conversation with Me, until they hit a bump in the road or tragedy strikes and then, they come to Me with open arms, not to receive My love but to receive My Blessings. I take no pleasure in pointing this out and truthfully, this is not what I desire to speak of today. No, I desire to speak to those who have cried out to Me day and night, asking Me to use them in a mighty way, not so as to lift them up but to touch others and to lift up the Name of My Own Dear Son, Jesus. It is to them I wish to speak today, and to tell them something they have long desired to hear.
“Before I go on, I wish to say I AM using many of My children now to bring massages of this kind to the world, for the time is right, and those whom I AM using are simply committed to doing what I tell them. They are forgiven children, many of whom have a past they wish to forget, a past which I have not only forgiven but, also, forgotten as well. There are those who will read this and know I want to speak through them, also, but the enemy will try to dissuade them, telling them they don’t measure up but I say to you, no one measures up outside of the Shield of My Grace. Tell the enemy to get behind you, that I AM said to do so, for I will be speaking to you soon, and you need to hear Me as well.
“Many of My children want to know why they don’t see the miracles and healings they see in My Word. They read John 14:12, the ‘greater works” statement My Son made at the Last Supper, and ask Me, ‘Father, where is this in my life?’ I will tell you why you have not seen it in your life, and I will also tell you how you can see it.
“Think of it: all power in the hands of man, the awesome power of your Creator. What if I were to suddenly give you that power in your life? How would it affect you? You may not know but I do. Most would quickly stumble from pride, thinking that, some way, somehow, they caused it to happen and when they did, I would have to remove the gift from them, in order to keep them from truly stumbling further. I love you too much, you see, to allow that to happen to you.
“So, now you are wondering, ‘Who can be used by the Lord?’ You can be used, “says the Lord, “and I will show you how. Before I can use anyone in the true power of My Creation, I must bring them to a place of devotion to Me where they desire nothing beyond what I give them, or want them to have. They must see themselves in the scathing, healing Light of Calvary, to see that, without Me, and apart from Me, they are nothing and have nothing to offer the world, except their own sinful nature. I t is this way with all of you.
“When My Creation fell, they lost what I had for them in the beginning, which included all power, divine health and eternal life. In fact, there was no sin, as you know, nor was there any sickness and death. I never meant for man to even know of such things, but that was not to be; he had to know and since I gave him free will to do as he wanted, he made the decision to know of such things and lost what I had given him. In came sin, sickness and death.
“Then I sent My Son Jesus to bring you to the point where you could once again, have fellowship with Me. As it is, that fellowship is in direct relation to how well you know Me, and you know Me only as well as how much of yourself you have given Me. You, My Beloved Ones, must come to a point in your life where your desire to know Me, truly know Me, must be stronger than your desire to retain your own free will. You must be willing to turn your free will, your own ability and right to make decisions, over to Me. Remember how My Son said, ‘I only do what I see My Father doing, and I only speak what I hear My Father speaking’? That is what I desire from you and that is what I must have before I can give you the ability to do the greater works of which My Son Jesus spoke. Your life must be one of submission to Me. Even as I speak, the20enemy of your soul is screaming at you, saying you will have a boring life, that I will keep you from having ‘fun’ and will take your freedom away. Remember, he is a liar and the father of lies. There is not one piece of truth in him. No, what I AM offering you is complete freedom, ultimately and finally, rather than the bondage to sin and yourself the enemy calls ‘freedom’. If you give Me your life, totally, you will know a freedom of which you have never dreamed.
‘I must tell you ahead of time, Beloved- dying to one’s own desires can be painful at first but the dividends, the pay-offs are surely worth it. That is My Promise to you. Give Me your whole heart today and see what I will do with you in time. It won’t happen in a day; I would never deceive you in that. It will happen, though, and at the most perfect time for you. I will give you a vision to which you will hold and that vision, your destiny, will come to pass, but only if we are totally together, if we are One. Remember what My Son said in John, chapter 17?
“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory t hat you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.”
“Read His Words closely and see what He desired for you…you today…to be able to walk with Me as He walked with Me on the earth then, walking in My Divine and Holy Power, filled with My Holy Spirit, without Whom you can do nothing. He desired for you to show your love for Me and for the world and He desired you be one with Me, as He was, and is, one with Me. To be ‘one’ with Me is the closest relationship you can have with Me on this earth. To be one is to know My Heart and to have the Mind of Christ. Only by becoming one with Me can you truly fulfill your destiny in Me. Think of it, My Beloved- unity with your Heavenly Father, with nothing between us, nothing to draw you away from Me, nothing to pull you back into sin, for whoever My Son sets free, is free, indeed. I will shelter you in the shadow of My wing and the enemy will not touch you, even as he tries.
"When you come to Me with your whole heart open, I will begin to bring about changes in you, changes which will delight you. You will see long-painful strongholds brought low, all because of your submission to Me. Then, I will begin to use you to touch others and, My B eloved, this is what life is all about- the ability and desire to bring change and healing into the lives of others. It will first be words of encouragement or a timely touch and as time goes on, I will tell you of something in another's life which will not embarrass them but will show them they have been visited by an emissary of the God of Heaven, and that I love them enough to speak to them through someone on this earth, and they will never be the same again. Then, when you have come to the end of yourself, I will be able to use you to bring forth the Mandate of My Son Jesus- to preach the Gospel, heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons and to help bring healing to the terrible spiritual leprosy in the Body of Christ which has blinded Her to My Truth for centuries. I ask you, My Beloved One, where is the bondage in that? Instead, I AM offering you a life of freedom to do My will on this earth and the glory you see in it will make you glad of the day you made the decision to join with Me in this thing called 'LIFE' on this earth, and your joy will be full.
“I already know who will respond to My Words today. I know your heart and what you will do, and for those who will turn away from this life and turn to Me, I say, you are just now beginning to truly live, for in Me is Life, and Life abundant,” says the Lord. “I AM waiting for you. My arms are open. Come to Me and we will do great and wonderful things together, for the Glory of My Kingdom, and when your life on this earth is through, I will take you Home with Me and you will be thrilled by what I have for you, the rewards of a life lived not for yourself, but a life lived through Me, for the good of others. Come…”
“A Time of Reparation”
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
1 John 4:10-12 (NIV)
Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one anothe r. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Colossians 3: 12-14
“A time of reparation has begun,” says the Lord, “a time of healing and throwing away that which you do not need: the hatred and hurt feelings you have been carrying in your heart toward others who have hurt you. I have said in My Word that as far as it goes with you, be at peace with all people. Some have been hurt by others and now bear a grudge that is like a festering wound in their spirit and I tell you truly, that wound hurts you far more than it does the one who hurt you. Have you seen these feelings make anything good come into your life? No? Then why harbor them further, Beloved? Treasure them no more but rather, give those wounds to me and forgive that one who has hurt you and I promise you, I will heal that wounded heart of yours and you will shine like the sun. Try Me and prove Me,” says the Lord, “and see if I will not do that which I have declared.
“And to those who have hurt others, I say you are to search them out and ask their forgiveness. Do not let your pride hold you back and keep you from my blessings. I have declared in My Word that if you know someone has something against you, to leave your gift at the altar and make things right between you and the one who is=2 0angry with you, even if it is for naught, and then come back and give your gift. Know this- I have no interest in your gifts if you do not obey Me in this. Allow me to kill that pride within you which keeps you from obeying Me and I will soften the heart of the one of whom you seek forgiveness and I will make all well between you. If the one who is angry refuses to forgive you, try again. Humble yourself before them and beg their forgiveness…even if you were not in the wrong. It is better to be a doormat and be obedient than to turn away and find yourself at odds with Me.
“So many of the lives of My children have been torn apart by unforgiveness and festering wounds, often needlessly so, for nothing is so bad that I cannot bring healing if one truly seeks it and is obedient to Me. I want you to be happy, My loved ones, and I want you to love one another, as I have loved you through My Son, Jesus Christ, Whose Blood was shed to cleanse you of your sins. Obey Me in this and I promise you, I will make it worth your while. If you do not, you jeopardize your future with Me and will find yourself beating your head against a wall which will ultimately defeat you.
“I sent My Beloved Son as the Prince of Peace. Let Him bring peace into your life where there has been a warring spirit. Let Him bring healing where there has been pain and deep, festering wounds. Let Him bring a refreshing of your spirit through your obedience to Me. Trust Me in this,” says the Lord, “and you will see a great change come in your life, like the sun coming through the clouds on a dark and desolate day. Let Me bring the sunlight into your life once again and see what you have been missing. You will be glad you did.”
