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

Love. . . the Most Powerful Weapon in the Universe

Go through the description of the materials of Our armor We gave you. Remember that the substance of each material of each piece is Our Love. There is nothing stronger than Our Love. We will increase your courage by putting you in circumstances in which you will use your trust in Our Love, which is your armor. This will cause you to grow as you see the power of Our Love in action. How else will you grow? Ephesians 6:10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, 19 and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.

On Waiting . . .

/ Pearls of Wisdom, Posts / / , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Waiting on Me is one of the most difficult things you will ever do. Wait. Wait. Wait. You know I Am moving because I told you so. You can’t see what I Am doing, but you know Me, so you know it’s going to be good. But … you must wait. You look for signs and clues to My activity. You look for circumstances that signal what you are longing for is finally here. When you don’t see them, you sigh and return to your waiting. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting seems to go on forever. But when you wait on Me, you are working hard. You are not doing physical work. You are doing spiritual work. You are working your faith muscle. Those who work their faith muscles keep their eyes on Me. They have high expectations from Me. Because they decided to wait on Me, they have a stability within themselves that others who don’t wait on Me do not have. Patience. Patience patience. I Am here. You aren’t waiting alone. We wait together. That’s what makes the waiting bearable. We go through your day together. I hold you close as you suffer the hardship of waiting. This binds us together with golden cords of shared hardships. I know you suffer with the waiting. I understand how hard it is. I Am in this with you. But remember, your faith in Me and my behind the scenes work will be rewarded. In the end, you will say that it was worth the wait. I Love you and I will help you as you place the future in My Hands. I have a beautiful plan that will unfold before your eyes. My way is not the easy way, but it is the most beautiful and rewarding way. Psalm 90:4 For in Your sight a thousand years are like yesterday that passes by, like a few hours of the night. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow to do what he has promised, as some think. Instead, he is patient with you, because he does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants all to turn away from their sins. Psalm 103:13-14 13 As a father loves and pities his children, so the Lord loves and pities those who fear Him [with reverence, worship, and awe]. 14 For He knows our frame, He [earnestly] remembers and imprints [on His heart] that we are dust. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Romans 8:28-29 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Joshua 1:9 Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go Romans 8:38-39 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

What to do with failure

/ Pearls of Wisdom, Posts / / , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

When fear and failures come, and you lose your grip on your own ability to have faith and trust in Me, put all of the circumstances and memories into a trash bag and throw them away. Discard the whole incident. The significance of the events which brought fear and shakiness to your faith is as important as the trash you took out last night. It must not prevent you from moving forward with Me. It must not prevent you from receiving My Love. What lesson do you learn from your fear and failures? Learn that I will give you more grace, Love and faith than you had the day before. Learn that you will always receive more of Me as you press on, forgetting the past. Learn that I know how difficult it is and how frail you are. Learn that I want you to use your frailties to motivate you to ignore your self and focus harder on Me. Learn that I never stop using you and your weaknesses. Learn that nothing depends on you and everything hinges on Me. Learn that I only Love you. I Am not disappointed in you. Learn that I Am not discouraged, so you shouldn\’t be discouraged either. Learn that I Am still here. Leave fear and failures behind and keep walking with Me. It\’s a new day. You and I have new things to see and do together. So, come, follow Me and leave the past behind. I Love you, My beautiful child! Matthew 26:73 After a while those who stood by came to Peter and said, “Surely you also are one of them, for your accent betrays you.” 74 Then he began to invoke a curse on himself and he swore, “I do not know the Man.”Then immediately a rooster crowed. 75 Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken, “Before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” Then he went out and wept bitterly. John 21: 15 After breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?”“Yes, Master, you know I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” 16 He then asked a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” “Yes, Master, you know I love you.”Jesus said, “Shepherd my sheep.”17-19 Then he said it a third time: “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was upset that he asked for the third time, “Do you love me?” so he answered, “Master, you know everything there is to know. You’ve got to know that I love you.”
