Words From Jesus: June 30, 2008

How much you see or feel My love in your life depends on your faith. I pour forth constantly, without end. The flow of My love in your life is always rich and free and abundant. I do not withhold under any circumstances. How much you see and feel this love in your life is dependent upon your faith, how much you look for the manifestation of My love, how much you are willing to believe, how much you are willing to see it, how much you are willing to recognize it in the innumerable ways that I manifest My love each day. But whether or not you see it or feel it or recognize it, does not change the fact that My love is constant and abundant and unconditional.

You cannot deserve it or work for it or be worthy of it in yourself, for I give you My love as a free gift. I love you because I love you--it's as simple as that. I love you, and I will never stop loving you, and I will never love you any less. I will always love you with a perfect love, with an unending love, with an abundant love.

I long for you to partake of this love of Mine in all its richness, beauty, power and glory. My love for you is forever love.

Thankyou Editor,

Beyond Salvation

CHILDHOOD HURTS

Why do you feel as if you were the least of all My children? I have chosen you for this work, and by asking you to remain humble before Me, I do not require that you remain inferior. You are most loved by Me. You are My chosen and I have admitted you into the inner circle of My friendship. You must not fear that I will remove you from this relationship with me.

I could not turn My back on you. When will My children understand that My ways are not their ways? I do not see a blemish or flaw that requires I turn My back on you

and never look back. This is what My children do in human relationships and friendships. This is never My will. I never give permission for these divisions, strifes, and

animosities. I have told you plainly that these qualities are not in My nature, so why do you wait for Me to abandon you? As the days grow, so will your understanding of My love for you, and you will see that My love for you will never come to an end as does that of human relationships.

I know that you do not fully grasp this unconditional love. You are letting the hurts of your childhood stand in the way of your reasoning when you come before Me. I am like no other and you must be free to understand the Infinite. You must be free to enter into the courts of the Most High. You have been set free by the Son. Do not turn back to take one last look. You will be in grave danger for clinging to the past, as was Lot’s wife.

You must go forward never again to return to this dry land of misunderstanding, hurts and resentments. This land will be entirely swept over and no ruins will show. You will forget that you used to dwell in such a land. As it has been said, “This place has been utterly swept off the face of the earth.” So shall it be with the land you used to

encompass. There is green and sweet pasture ahead. Enter into this land flowing with milk and honey and you will be allowed to meet many other of My children dwelling there. I heal, My child, and you will see this come to pass.

God Calling

Spiritual Fullness

Our Lord, we love Thee and desire to live for Thee in all things.

My children, "Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled." That is satisfaction.

Only in the fullness of spiritual things can the heartsick and faint and weary be satisfied, healed, and rested. "Lord," we cry, "to whom shall we go but to Thee." "Thou preparest the table before us." Bread of Life, Food from Heaven.

How few realize that the feeding of the four thousand and the five thousand was in each case but an illustration of the way in which I should one day be the Food of My people.

Think of the wonder of revelation still to be seen by those who live with Me. All these hundreds of years, and much of what I said and did is still mystery, much of My Life on earth is still spiritually unexplored country. Only to the simple and loving heart that walks with me can these things be revealed. I have carefully hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them unto babes.

Do not weigh your spirits down with the sins and sorrows of the world. Only a Christ can do that and live. Look for the loving, the true, the kindly, the brave in the many all around you.

As the heart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. Psalm 42:1

Beyond Sanctification

BEFORE THE BRANCHES ARE TENDER

Apart with Me and away from people, you feel you are doing no service in My

kingdom, and yet, I still prepare you for the quiet life; the life in which I can bring you out into service, and take back into contemplation: This is the life I have required of you.

Why is it that you still do struggle with Me in this area? So much work for Me in the flesh is not of My calling. They may even be good works, but done by need of recognition, thus invalidating My command to do it "as unto Me". So much work done for Me is done in a spirit of reluctance, paying homage not to Me, but to man's request. I would rather that you sit and do nothing, than to do things that were not done for My glory and with Me in mind.

I would rather you live the quiet life waiting for My words to you, than to engage

in your own thoughts and words with others for the sake of filling space. I would rather that you touch just one other life, to inspire that one to lead the quiet, hearing way, than to inspire and teach one hundred others to feel the need to be a doer.

Yes, a hearer of the Word must be a doer of the Word also, but he too must realize that I provide not only the way but the will.

You often pray that you might see more with My healing power sent forth to

minister, but these lives must first be sanctified in the quiet lifestyle; one that knows that God alone must receive the glory; that My power alone must be present to heal.

First and foremost, healing work always begins in the hearts and minds of the

chosen. Pray then that I set apart for Me now those quiet lives. To pray for the laborers to be sent forward first without the preparation is like praying for the sunset before the sunrise.

I would have you continue in prayer and Word and know in your spirit that this is

what truly pleases and honors Me. The natural order will then follow suit. Lift then your Pastor in service today. If you know how difficult the preparation time is, you know that this is what I would have you to pray for. Don't ask for the fruits before the branches are tender.

Stay in prayer and watch.

EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

[Reflections Of The Father's Heart]

+ Faith is in no hurry, because what faith obtains is eternal!

+ One's "ability" to walk in love is directly proportional to their time spent in My presence - and in My Word [1 Corinthians 13:4-8a].

God Calling

Understand Them

Take joy wherever you go. You have been much blessed. You are being much blessed.

Such stores of blessing are awaiting you in the months and years that lie ahead. Pass every blessing on.

Love can and does go round the world, passed on the God-currents from one to the other.

Shed a little sunshine in the heart of one, that one is cheered to pass it on, and so My vitalizing joy-giving message goes.

Be transmitters these days. Love and Laugh. Cheer all. Love all.

Always seek to understand others and you cannot fail to love them.

See Me in the dull, the uninteresting, the sinful, the critical, the miserable.

See Me in the laughter of children and the sweetness of old age, in the courage of youth and the patience of man and womanhood.

The kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure ... the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. Matthew 13:44
