Partner with Us to Change Lives

I Am the Master of time. You are the master of your will. Let’s use Our ruler-ship to move heaven and earth to be together. I Love you!

• Philippians 2:13For it is God who works in you to will and to act on behalf of His good pleasure.

• Matthew 5:14-16 You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 “Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

Will you love the difficult ones for Me?

Never look down on someone who is caught in a spiritual trap. Remember that they are blind and do not see their cage. Remember also that you were once locked in a cage yourself. Instead, come talk to  Me about the negative feelings and thoughts you are having about that trapped one. Then allow Me to replace them with My Love for that prisoner.

• Matthew 5:38-48  You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you. …

• John 15:12 This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

• Matthew 5:46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?

• 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

5-3

How do you love?

Do not stop coming to Me about that poor one until all your heart and mind toward them is full of love, understanding, and compassion. Then you and I can intercede for that hurting, blind one together. Then great power through Our union of Love will be released on the prisoner.

Love is stronger than any cage or trap.

Come and purify your heart toward the trapped one through Me, and then together We will set the prisoner free.

• 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

5-4

I Am Good and all I bring to you is good. . . .trust Me
Be still and humble in the middle of the trial. Be quiet and still. With calmness, wait on Me. I will not only provide, but I will lift you up and seat you above the others. When you humbly accept what I bring and desire My Will, even when it hurts, then I exalt you and lift you up.

• Proverbs 3:5  Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. 6In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

• Philippians 4: 12 I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. 13I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

5-5

Let Me lift you up
When I exalt you and make you shine, then you retain humility. When you lift your own head, then you exchange humility for pride. Let Me lift you up. Accept the humbling circumstances now. Accept the servant-hood of your position. Take every opportunity to humbly serve, forgive, and love the unlovable now while you are still on earth . . . you won’t have that opportunity later.

• Philippians 2:1-6  Is there any such thing as Christians cheering each other up? Do you love me enough to want to help me? Does it mean anything to you that we are brothers in the Lord, sharing the same Spirit? Are your hearts tender and sympathetic at all? 2 Then make me truly happy by loving each other and agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, working together with one heart and mind and purpose.3 Don’t be selfish; don’t live to make a good impression on others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourself. 4 Don’t just think about your own affairs, but be interested in others, too, and in what they are doing. 5 Your attitude should be the kind that was shown us by Jesus Christ, 6 who, though he was God, did not demand and cling to his rights as God

5-6

Be Imitators of Me

Now is your chance to serve blindfolded in the midst of unfairness, pain, and humiliation. Now is your chance to be a god . . . My children, do as My Firstborn . . . use your status, rights, and power to humble yourself, be stripped of glory, and serve with your lives. Follow Me. Use My image within you to truly mirror Me . . . let yourself be made low and then I will exalt you and lift you up.

• PSALM  82:6  I have called you all “gods” and “sons of the Most High

5-7

• Micah 6:8b No, he has told you what he wants, and this is all it is: to be fair, just, merciful, and to walk humbly with your God

• Isaiah 49:16 See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;

• Hebrews 13:6 “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” 

5-8

The Bridegroom and His Bride
Come and walk with Me, My Beloved one! Walk and spend time with Me. Walk with Me and talk with Me. Let me smell the fragrance of your love and affection. Let Me enjoy the fellowship of your companionship with Me. Let Me see your Love for Me. Let Me lavish My Love on you.

• Song of Sol. 2:10  My beloved responded and said to me, ‘Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, And come along

• Jeremiah 31:3  The Lord appeared to him from afar, saying, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore I have drawn you with lovingkindness.

5-9

Do you want Me? I Am here.
Desire Me. I desire you! My passion for you is unequaled. My yearning for you causes Me pain. It will only be satisfied when it is returned by you. Drop your other loves and distractions and come be with Me. We will satisfy each other. Come, walk with Me. This is My desire.

• Song of Sol 7:10 I am my beloved’s, And his desire is for me.

• Is. 49:15-16  Can a woman forget her nursing child And have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, but I will not forget you. “Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands;  Your walls are continually before Me

5-10

I Never Take My Eyes Off of You!
What is on My Mind and Heart? You are. Every time you glance My Way, listen for My Voice, search to sense My Presence, it makes My Heart skip for joy. When you turn your attention away from the cares of earth and seek Me instead, I get a shot of thrill through Me.

• Song of Sol 4: 8  Come with me from Lebanon, my bride, May you come with me from Lebanon. Journey down from the summit of Amana, From the summit of Senir and Hermon, From the dens of lions, From the mountains of leopards.

5-11

I Am lovesick for you.

When you fight distractions and allurements to spend time with Me, My heart sings. When you turn all others out of your heart to make room for Me, I Am in ecstasy. I dance over you every time you turn down anything to be with Me. You thrill My Heart. You are on My mind. I Am lovesick for you.

• Song of Sol 4:9 “You have made my heart beat faster, my sister, my bride; You have made my heart beat faster with a single glance of your eyes, With a single strand of your necklace. 10 “How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much better is your love than wine, And the fragrance of your oils Than all kinds of spices!

5-12

I Am waiting for you
Come spend time with Me in Our secret garden within your spirit, and I will shower you with My affection. Close your eyes, relax in Our spot, and be with Me. You are always on My Mind. I always listen for the sound of your voice calling Me . . . always.

• Song of Sol 4:11 “Your lips, my bride, drip honey; Honey and milk are under your tongue, And the fragrance of your garments is like the fragrance of Lebanon. 12 “A garden locked is my sister, my bride, A rock garden locked, a spring sealed up. 13 “Your shoots are an orchard of pomegranates With choice fruits, henna with nard plants,14 Nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, With all the trees of frankincense, Myrrh and aloes, along with all the finest spices. 15 “You are a garden spring, A well of fresh water, And streams flowing from Lebanon

• (Note from Pearl: Walking in natural, dealing with external duties and distractions, sometimes it slows me down. I have to ask Their help. Doing the duties for Them rather than doing duties for any other reason keeps me in Their Presence.  Obedience increases Their Presence. Disobedience decreases Their Presence. Just ask King Saul).

5-13

We are your Lifeline . . . stay connected
I know you feel the weariness and pressure of being a stranger in a strange land. Do not be discouraged. You have a homeland waiting for you. In the meantime, stay connected to Us. We are your Lifeline while you are in a weary land of strangers. Remain in the interior with Us, so living among strangers does not rob you of Truth, strength, and peace. Soak in Our Presence . . . it is essential for your well-being in this desert.

• John 15: 4 Remain in Me, and I will remain in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me.

5-14

Staying in the Spirit

Drink Our water of Love or you will suffer needlessly. Recognize your need for Our water. Do not be discouraged. We supply all you need for the time you stay in this land. When you are homesick, come and be with Us. If you are not occasionally homesick and longing for Us, then be warned . . . you are making a strange land your home.

• John 4:14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.” John

• 7:38 To the one who believes in Me, it is just as the Scripture has said: ‘Streams of living water’” will flow from within him.

5-15

Where is your real home?
Never call a strange land and strange people “home.” If you do, then you have left your Real Home with Us. Separate yourself from them in your heart. Minister to the strangers, but remain with Us. Never call strange places and gods “home.” Homesickness for Us is good. We are your Family and your Home. We Love you!

• 2 Corinthians 6:17 Therefore, COME OUT FROM THEIR MIDST AND BE SEPARATE,” says the Lord. “AND DO NOT TOUCH WHAT IS UNCLEAN; And I will welcome you.

• John 17:6 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

• Philippians 3:20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;

5-16

Music is a weapon
Music is a weapon I have placed in your hands. Use My anointed music. Do not go a day without it. It will help your shield of faith, as well as your sword of the Spirit. Use My weapon of the music of My Presence. Why do you think David wrote the songs? They were a weapon for him.

• Acts 16:25 – But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and the prisoners were listening to them

• Ephesians 5:19 – speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord

• Col.3:16 – Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

• 1 Chronicles 9:33 – Now these are the singers, heads of fathers’ households of the Levites, who lived in the chambers of the temple free from other service; for they were engaged in their work day and night.

• 1 Chronicles:15:16 – Then David spoke to the chiefs of the Levites to appoint their relatives the singers, with instruments of music, harps, lyres, loud-sounding cymbals, to raise sounds of joy.

• 2 Chronicles. 5:13 –  in unison when the trumpeters and the singers were to make themselves heard with one voice to praise and to glorify the Lord, and when they lifted up their voice accompanied by trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and when they praised the Lord saying, “He indeed is good for His lovingkindness is everlasting,” then the house, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud

5-17

I Am the Master of Staging . . . trust Me
Do not despise the day of bad news. Do you not know that I can use all things to bring about My Will? Trust Me and wait. Guard your thoughts. Do not let spirits of offense take hold of you. How do you know whether this is of My doing? I used Sampson’s fleshly lusts to stir up the Philistines, so I could then beat them back down from oppressing My people. I used the sin of Pharaoh to display My Glory among the nations.

• James 1:2 2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you encounter trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.…

5-18

I use all things to draw your close to Me

Do not take up a spirit of offense. Submit to My purposes and trust in My Love for you. See the source of bad news as My servant . . . regardless of hardship. Remember that the storms cause your roots to grow deep into My Love. That is where I want you . . . deep in My Love. There you will see Me clearly.  I Love you!

• 1 Corinthians 13:5 Love . . .  does not take into account a wrong suffered, 6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

5-19

Step on your emotional bugs . . . trust Me!
Bombs of Love diffuse conflicts. Humility and calmness while waiting on Me end all attacks. Be quick to show Love in the midst of an attack. Calmly listen to My Voice and follow Me in faith while the storm rages. As you rule over your emotions and do not allow negative thoughts toward the storm, then you will retain peace, quietness, patience, and wisdom. Then you will see the real Truth behind the turmoil of the storm. Even when you see the Truth, I want you to maintain humble compassion, ready to admit your wrongs, offer Love, and show kind mercy as I lead you.

• 1 Corinthians 13:4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.8Love never ends.

• Galatians 5:22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 24And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.25If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. 26Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

5-20

How to win a battle
Remember to rule over feelings and negative thoughts, and then you will hear My Voice and be quick to obey. Obedience during a storm prevents storm-damage to you and others around. Always obey. I will guide you in peaceful, humble Love. My directions will always show Love. Together We will set off bombs of pure Love. That is how to win a battle.

• James 1:19Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; 20for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. 21Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

5-21

Not giving the enemy a foothold in your mind
How do you occupy your mind so it will not be filled with negative thoughts? Fill your mind with Our conversations. Remember the Words of Truth, healing, and instruction I gave to you. Fill your mind with Scripture. Meditate on a verse and ask Me to teach you about it. Play the anointed music and allow your spirit to be filled with the Truth. Recall your wandering mind as it roams into enemy territory, and assign these tasks to it to prevent it from roaming again. Be patient as you must do this repeatedly. I love you!

• Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. 9What you have learned^e and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

• Philippians 4:4Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. 5Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; 6do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

5-22

Clues you are a prisoner
When a bomb is detonated, there is carnage and death. Love bombs do the same as earth bombs. Let the carnage be your flesh. Throw bombs of forgiveness, hugs, acts of kindness and love, despite the circumstances. Each barrier within your flesh that you cross in order to throw the bomb will result in the death of that barrier . . .  and the bomb will bring Life to the prisoner whom the enemy is using to throw his bombs at you. Watch out for offenses . . . they are clues that the enemy hit you and you are being taken as a prisoner. Forgive. Then you will be released. Offenses are your clue as to whether or not you have become a prisoner yourself.

• 1 Corinthians 13:4Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, 5does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, 6does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 7bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

5-23

Will you be patient while I Am working for you?

Do not despise the day of small beginnings. I gave you a vision and it will come to pass. The vision I gave to you is only a portion of My plan. I also plan to perfect you and bring you into holiness. Therefore, submit to the process of humbling and patiently waiting. Those who are faithful with little will be given more. This is a step-by-step process. Be content and trustworthy now, and then you will see more and more progress toward the vision. Be willing to go through the trying times before you arrive at the destination. I Am faithful to do all I planned for you . . . that includes perfecting your spirit, as well as bringing about the vision at the appointed time.

• 1 Peter 5:5-6 And all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” 6Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, so that in due time He may exalt you. 7Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.…

• Luke 16:10 Whoever is faithful with very little will also be faithful with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.

5-24

I Am good. All I do is good.
Therefore, be content with the small beginning. It is good. All I give you to do is good. All I bring to you is good. Therefore, you can always give thanks and be content, if you are submissive, humble, and patient. This is the day I made for you and Me to walk through together in friendship, companionship, unity, and Love. Let’s talk and enjoy each other while We work Our way through the day of small beginnings together. Then everything is sweet. I Love you!

• Hebrews 13:5 5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, for God has said: “Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.” 6 So we say with confidence: “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”…

• James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.

• 1 Peter 5:5-6 And all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” 6Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, so that in due time He may exalt you.

5-25

I Am here. Will you trust Me?
There is no trial by fire that My Peace cannot carry you through. The hotter the fire, the greater My Peace you will have. Just keep submitting and trusting My Love for you. Do not fear the future. Remember . . . great fire, great peace. You can go through anything with My Peace filling and carrying you. When you experience this, you will understand.

• 1 Corinthians 10:13No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it.

• 1 Peter 1:6-7 …6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer various trials, 7so that the authenticity of your faith — more precious than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire — may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

5-26

Do you really want Me?
If you truly want Me to be everything to you, then I AM.

• Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and dine with him, and he with Me.

• Psalm 37:4 Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your hear

5-27

Can you hear Me?
Listen for My Voice. It is quiet and gentle. When you are listening for something quiet and gentle, you must be still, quiet, and gentle yourself or you won’t hear it. Trying to hear My Voice, while you are emotional or giving your mind free reign, is like trying to hear the birds sing while a lawn mower is near. Make your soul be still. Do not allow drama of the mind or emotions to take over. Watching dramas in movies or exercising the brain distracts one from earth-life. Emotional and mental drama distracts one from the Life in My Spirit as well. Calm yourself and then be in My Presence. Be still and know I Am God.

• 1 Kings 19:12 After the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a sound of a gentle blowing. 13When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. And behold, a voice came to him and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”…

• Genesis 3:8 When the cool evening breezes were blowing, the man and his wife heard the LORD God walking about in the garden.

• Jeremiah 29:12-13 In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.

• Zephaniah 3:17 The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.

Are  you in a trap?

• James 3:2For we all stumble in many ways If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well.

• Luke 6:42How can you say, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while you yourself fail to see the beam in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

• Galatians 5:17 For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please.

5-30

Trust in the Lord, not yourself
The problem with relying on your logic is that your thoughts are not as logical as you believe them to be. Your mind is not flawless, and one of the many flaws is thinking that your thoughts are flawless. Remember the idiom, “blow your mind?” The mind is blown, because it thought it was right and flawless. Rely solely on Me. Faith is flawless . . . even a little faith is flawless, as long as it truly is there. Emotions, reasonings, analysis, memory, reports . . . these are all full of flaws. They are the shifting, unstable sand. My Voice is the Rock you can build upon. I Am the Rock . . . the only Rock. Depend upon Me alone.

• Jeremiah 17:9 The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?
  

• Isaiah 55:8 For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD. 9″For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts.…

• Psalm 94:22But the LORD has been my stronghold, And my God the rock of my refuge.

5-31

Guard your heart and trust Me
Let Me do your thinking for you today and every day. After all, My Mind is flawless. My Ways are Perfect. You will delight in My Ways. All you have to do is follow in Me, trust Me, wait on Me, listen to My Voice, and obey Me. Watch your heart and do not let any darkness dim My Light. Then My Ways will become your ways as My Light illuminates your path. Shut out darkness. Ask me to show you the sources. Then come and follow Me. Let Me do the planning. Be My blindfolded sheep.

• Proverbs 4:22 Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.
