Walk Sacrificially

Your death, through humbling yourself to serve those who do not deserve service, and Love while refusing thoughts of darkness, likewise release power to set both you and them free from Satan’s grip. Each time you do the actions that are the opposite of your old ways, then your old self dies a little. I then replace what died with a new nature which comes from Me – a nature of pure Love and Light. You sacrifice self-interest through an action and I replace it with selfless Love. You sacrifice thoughts of bitterness and revenge and I replace them with an attitude of mercy and forgiveness. You sacrifice preservation of pride and I give you beautiful, honest humility. This is how your daily deaths will be become your transformation into a new creation. Matthew 22:37-39 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And ha second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. Galatians 2:20-21 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!” Colossians 3:10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! Romans 12:1-2 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God–this is your true and proper worship. John 12:24-25 Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. “He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal. Luke 6:38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.” Matthew 6:6 But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. John 14:23 Whoever loves me will keep my word, says the Lord, and my Father will love him and we will come to him. John 14:15,21  Jesus said to his disciples: “… whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and reveal myself to him.”

Will you let Me lead you?

Even when you follow Me blindly, I will do the following with you. I will both lead you and help you follow Me at the same time. You won’t do anything alone . . . not even attempt to follow Me. As you take the first step by desiring to follow Me, I will pick your spirit up and carry you . . . while you are following. You do nothing on your own. I Am right there with you. All you have to do is desire to cooperate with Me. 1Corinthians 2:12-14 12 Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. 13 And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual. 14 The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.

Papa Does Not Make Junk

Pearl, I Am still healing you. As you follow My voice, reach out to those hurting ones I bring to  you and continue to allow Me to teach you. I Am healing you. Your spirit and soul have many layers. Your mind and body are complex. There are memories and experiences that have become embedded within you. Your complete and total healing is not an event. It is a process. Sometimes it will feel like We are back at the beginning of the process. I will put you in conversations or circumstances that will exposes only half healed wounds. I will also expose the infection of sin and wrong attitudes that prevented the complete healing of that wound. The whole process of healing each layer of your being is not only  a process of restoration but also a process of learning. You are learning how to recognize your sinful attitudes that prevent the healing of wounds. You are learning how to give the past to Me and not look back. You are learning how to cover the sins of others – even  those who hurt you terribly and in the action of covering their sin your wounds experience more healing. You are learning to have mercy on those who wronged you as you are entering into more and more intimacy with Me. You see Precious Pearl, intimacy with Me is the only way to truly set others free from your tendency to judge, condemn, and sometimes punish. The more you and I become entwined in Our Lover’s embrace the less you need anything from anyone. When you no longer have needs, you no longer look to someone else to meet those needs. In their own  brokenness they cannot fulfill your needs or meet your expectations but you do not always recognize their own neediness and weakness because you look to them to meet your expectations. Pearl, do not look to anyone but Me for anything. I mean anything.  I  will bring people to you to bless you but I will also remove them. I will bring people to  you to minister to but I will eventually remove them as well. I will use many tools to heal you, including the tool of removal. Pearl, will you let me remove anything I wish from you? Anything, Pearl? Will you trust Me when It seems like you are all alone? Will you love and appreciate our private isolation for a while? Pearl, I gave you many love-gifts when We were courting. I blessed you with surprises that you knew were from Me. I wooed you and courted you with treats and gifts that showed you how well I knew and loved you. You trusted Me enough to give Me your heart and life. Now that you are My wife, will you trust Me when I remove those gifts? You do not see My plan so you do not know what I Am doing. Will you trust Me? I Am like the waves and tides of the ocean, I often deposit treasures of various kinds on the sandy beach for you to find and delight in. But just as the tide brings treasures from the ocean depths, it also captures them and carries them back out to sea. Pearl, will you give Me the freedom to bring and carry away treasures to you at My will? Each  experience will be a part of the processes of healing and teaching you, Precious Pearl. Will you use your free will to give Me carte blanche – perfect freedom- do just as I wish with your life? Some treasures I bring to you will delight and heal you. Pearl, you may  become very attached to these treasures. Will you release them to My waves, Pearl? Trust Me. Give Me the freedom of the ocean tides. The more you relax and trust Me, the more the waves of My love will flow in and around you. You will feel the waves of My love in My presence as well as in the way I conduct your life. Now Pearl, remember that some treasures from the ocean do not look useful or valuable at first. Sometimes I bring rough driftwood to you but it is a treasure nonetheless. All rough driftwood needs is someone who knows that Papa does not make junk.  With an attitude of love, humility, faith and a willingness to serve, Pearl, you can help Me turn  rough driftwood into a work of art. The hidden secret about this process is that as you accept the rough driftwood as a treasure or gift from My Hand then you will be able to  see Papa’s hidden beauty in the treasure. Your attitude will change as you have mercy toward those who are rough. You will then become a tool in My Hand for sculpting beautiful artwork out of that piece of driftwood. When the work is finished you will be astonished to see that not only is the driftwood beautiful but you are also healed from some of your previously infected wounds. As you allow Me the freedom to minister  through you and in you, you will be healed. Pearl, I will bring you treasures. Hold them, allow them to bless you, minister to them for Me, and then allow Me to remove them according to My Plan. You are My bride and My wife. You and I are to share an intimacy that no one else shares. No one is to be allowed to come into Our Secret Garden except Us. Allow Me the freedom, Dear Pearl, to guard the gates of your heart from all intruders. Minister only to those I bring and then like baby birds who are now ready to fly, let them go. The ‘letting go’ attitude on your part is what I will use to bring even more healing to you. Live so close to Me that you are just as happy to wave ‘goodbye’ to the birds as

Thoughts Day 11

If someone knocks at your door, the first thing you want to know is, who is it? Is the person a friend or foe? The thoughts that you had yesterday, were they friends or foes? If a thought that enters your mind is one of peace, welcome it. A true friend brings peace. If a thought that enters your mind is one of fear, kick it out of your house. Enemies bring threats and trouble. You are the doorkeeper of the house of your mind. You have the keys. As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. You become the thoughts that you allow to enter. Just as you become like the people that you hang around, you become like the thoughts that you allow to hang around inside of your mind. Be an active doorkeeper. Look through the window before you open the door. Make a decision. Do you want this one to come inside? Do you want the next one to come inside? Whatever you let inside will try to put down roots and stay there. Make decisions all day about each thought that enters your mind. Evaluate them. Are they friends or foes? Do you want them to stay and put down roots? Do you want to become just like them? A very young child can freely laugh with joy. What is inside of a young child? How much would you give for a peaceful mind? A mind at peace is a mind at rest. A mind at peace allows its body to rest. A mind at peace is an inner life without war. Does meditation on the unfairness of life bring peace? Does remembering the injustices give rest? Where do fearful thoughts come from? Do you choose fear as your inner home? Do longings and desires bring joy? Look again at a well-fed baby. Where does his peace come from? What can you do today to gain a peaceful mind? If fear is not your desire for your mind, what can you do to protect your mind from this invader? If anger is not your will for your inner life, how can you be free from it? If sadness is not the real you, how can you leave it behind? If destructive desires have been your owner, how can you be free? If deceiving thoughts have cheated you out of a good life and left you with many regrets, how can you banish them? There are many paths to choose from each day. Which thoughts have become your guides? Have these guides been good to you? If not, how can you exchange them for a different Guide? Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
