Letters to Pearl – Volume 3

The Family Business

Pearl,

Let’s read in Revelation together. Revelation 2:17
“He who has an ear to hear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat.”

Pearl, I often spoke of those who had ears to hear as opposed to those who do not. When  you seek Me you will find Me if you search for Me with your whole heart. When you  draw near to Me, I will draw near to you. When you become one of My sheep and follow after Me, you will hear My Voice. My sheep know My Voice because they have the desire for it and, therefore, pay attention to what it sounds like. These soon develop ears that have the ability to hear. They are no longer deaf to the sound of Truth. They can detect counterfeit voices. My sheep long to hear My voice because they love Me and love to be with Me. They know that the world is dangerous and, therefore, they are not to move until they hear My voice giving directions.

Pearl, learning to listen to My Voice is a process that takes a little time and a lot of  determination. The world is full of noise and deception. The more noise from soulwounds, insecurities concerning My Love, fears and bad memories upon which they are dwelling, then the harder it is to discern My Voice. My Voice is not to be heard by  everyone. It is not for the proud or the strong in this world. It is not for the lukewarm who do not truly seek Me. It is not for those who doubt Me and My good intentions towards them.

My Voice is for the meek who know they cannot live without me. It is for the weak who  are aware of the fact that they need Me above all else. It is for the humble who do not want to sin against Me or bring worldly stains on themselves. It is for those who love Papa and want nothing more than to please Him. To these I give ears to hear. These are my sheep who are eager for instruction. They love My Word. These are My obedient ones. I can trust them to hear my word and obey. Their obedience opens doors of blessing for them and those around them. My Word enters their hearts and bears fruit that the world can see.

This often happens during their seasons of intense suffering. As they suffer, they listen for Me. They do not listen to the voice of fear or doubt. Because they listen to My Voice,  they remain at peace and rest. Their confidence in My Voice keeps them steady and  patient. The trial may be a long one, but My Voice instructs them, comforts them and  gives them endurance. Therefore, Pearl, the ears I give them to hear enable them to  overcome all the trials, temptations and sufferings. They learn that I provide for their  every soul-need. They learn where their true food can be found . . .  in Me. My sheep will never go hungry. I will feed them love, truth and peace. I will feed them joy and strength.  I will feed them these things and more because I feed them My own flesh and blood.  They take Me into their spirits. I Am the hidden manna (Note: Refer back to Revelation  2:17). My Presence nourishes the souls of My people. My Spirit refreshes them with Living Water. Pearl, come and eat Me – My Love and Truth. Eat My Presence. Consume Me. Relax and I will hand feed you until you learn to eat of Me yourself. I desire that hidden manna – My Self, My Flesh and My Blood – become a part of your being. The only way  for elements to become part of you is for you to take them inside you. Your physical body needs daily food. Your being needs manna every day. My Manna and Living Water cannot be bought with money and for you, Pearl, the supply will never run low. Now let Me feed you. Relax and turn your spirit over to Me. Open your spirit to My Loving Hand. Listen for My Voice. Feel the nearness of My Love. With one arm I will cradle your innermost being. With the other, I will gently feed you My Love. Breathe. Relax. Your own little ones had to learn how to relax and receive their nourishment from you. Your voice comforted them and they learned to listen to the sound. Pearl, overcome your desire to eat the worldly foods. These foods feed your carnal nature. They feed the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life. You know you are feeding upon worldly food when you feel your sinful desires grow stronger. When that happens, identify the worldly spiritual food you are eating and withdraw from it. Never return to it again, no matter how much social pressure there is to continue taking it in.

Feed on Me. Feed on Truth. I Am the Manna, Bread of Life. When you have eaten of Me, you will be able to share with others. When you have listened to My Voice, you will be able to encourage others to seek Me. Evil days are coming. There will be great pressures for My sheep. They will need to hear My Voice for direction and feed on Me for Truth or  they will become confused and weak. Encourage them to continue to listen to Me. Warn  them not to be distracted. I Am the Way, the Truth and the Life. They will overcome if  they continue to listen and follow me. Encourage them.

Precious Pearl, come away with Me into the Secret Place, the Secret Garden. Come to  Our banquet table. My banner over you is love. I love you, Pearl.

So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I  will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched,  miserable, poor, blind, and naked— I counsel you to buy from Me gold  refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and  chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and  knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.

The Yardstick of Love

Little Pearl,
Abide in Me. That means consistently remain in the experience of My Love for you. You  are not only to value the experience of My Love, but you are to draw or feed from it. The constant experience of My Love will bring you guidance and discernment.

The world operates without My Love and, therefore, without My Guidance and  Discernment. The hatred of the world reflects the spirit that is guiding them. This spirit is the anti-Christ. You know you are born of Holy Spirit when your heart is clean. You no  longer allow hatred in your heart toward anyone. The spirit of hatred is the spirit of  murder. The person who allows hatred to dwell within has invited the instrument of death into them. This death is the death of themselves. The spirit of hatred works against its hosts. The Spirit of Love brings life to its hosts.

Little Pearl, you know you are born of My Spirit because you do not carry within you the spirit of hatred. Rather, your love of others is increasing along with your love of Me.  Look back over the past season of your life. How much mercy and forgiveness do you  have for the most difficult one in your life now compared to before. Has resentment increased or decreased? How about fear – has it increased or decreased? How often have you insisted on having things your way. What about self-pity? How often have you  struggled with anger compared to the past? Have you sought revenge by uncovering the sin of that one or do you remain silent more often? How important is the way others view you now? What about your willingness to serve even the most difficult one? Which do  you choose – to have the love of those you are attached to or to draw ever closer to Me and to let them go?

Little Pearl, My Love is not for sale. You did not have to purchase My Love with any  action or condition. Your love used to be for sale before I came to you and filled you with My Spirit. True love is never for sale. It is not only for those who meet your requirements and expectations. Your love is to be for those who do not understand that love is free of  charge. When you own My Love, you own Me.

It is good to examine your heart and test it, but Little Pearl, the condition of your heart is only examined and tested accurately by Me. You may check your heart and gauge yourself by your love. Trust Me with your heart. I am able to clearly see it as it is always open before Me. Relax. You are under My control. You are Mine and, therefore, do not worry about deceiving spirits. You can clearly gauge who is in control by the direction in  which you are traveling. Do you have more love now or less? Clearly you have seen the enemy be overcome time and again. Therefore, do not let the accuser of the brethren put doubt into your heart. You are hearing My Voice. You know that it is My Voice which is speaking to you because it is the Voice of Love which cannot be sold. It is freely given by Me to you.

Test the voices, Little Pearl, whether they speak love that cannot be bought or sold.  Examine your progress by examining the evidence of love toward those around you. You  do not need to worry about your own heart – it is Mine and since you cannot see all that is hidden within your own heart, the responsibility of its’ examination is ultimately Mine. I will test your heart and show you the results. I will keep you from error. Your job is to love Me and to listen to My Voice. Your job is to trust Me to keep you from the spirit of anti-Christ. You are My daughter and I Am motivated to keep you safe, teach you and help you grow in love. When I allow more trials to come, do not think it is anything more than the testing of your faith. It is a way for Me to reveal to you what I already know is in your heart.

There are many who doubt they are hearing My Voice. There are those who, when faced  with trials, wonder if they are truly Mine. You, yourself, Little Pearl, have listened to the words of those who claim to know Me, speak of their theological views, and believed  their condemnation of you. You wondered if they were right. My people are assaulted with confusion. Know this . . . that I Am Love. I speak the Voice of Love. When you are in Me, you will grow in love for Me and others. You cannot examine all of your heart, but you can know your fruit. You can also know the fruit of others. Do not be deceived.  Measure everything by the yardstick of love. My Love will guide you and keep you from being confused. Look through the glasses of My Love and you will see clearly. Respond  to hatred, jealousy and strife with love and faith in Me.

• I John – reader, please refer to the entire book of I John.
• I Timothy 2:12 And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.

The Discipline of Waiting

Pearl,
I know what it is to wait. I know the difficulty of waiting in faith and trust. The more you  are willing to wait in the face of adverse circumstances, the more I can do. There is power in waiting, Pearl, just like there is power in endurance. When the runner of a long distance race has endurance, he has the power to win. Even if other runners have bursts of speed and enthusiasm, they may never overtake the runner who excels in endurance. The only way to gain endurance is to practice running patiently for long periods of time. Each practice session involves running longer and longer distances so that the ability to endure increases. A runner never begins his running career with the ability to endure. He must wait before he can win a medal and claim the title. He must practice. He must run patiently under more and more uncomfortable circumstances.

Pearl, your ability to wait on Me began weakly. You had desire and enthusiasm. You had  effort and focus. You learned to submit and receive training. You heard stories of how others waited on Me and endured long trials of suffering. You even wanted to die for Me to respond to My great love for you. Those qualities of your love for Me melted My  heart.

Now I Am leading you further into maturity. In order for your faith to mature, it must learn the discipline of waiting. Endurance is not for the physically young. It is not for the physically weak. Endurance is for those who have gladly received instruction and begun  to practice what they have learned.

The learning process of our relationship is not complete. It will now begin a deeper  phase . . . waiting and enduring. This phase brings great peace while it melts away doubt and self. In My Kingdom, waiting to receive in faith increases faith. Determination to  believe in Me for a longer period of time than expected increases because it involves your will. Each day that you awake and see that it will be yet another day of waiting on Me,  you have another opportunity to make a choice with your will.

Will you choose to continue waiting or not? When you choose to continue waiting, your  ability to make your will comply with My Own will increases. You bring your own  desires under submission to My Will by your own choice. This makes your spirit grow stronger and stronger until it dominates and rules over your flesh. Your flesh begins to  grow weaker as it is no longer gratified. Whatever is fed, lives. Whatever is starved, dies.  Waiting on Me is like an eating opportunity to feed your spirit. Waiting on Me is like an  exercise opportunity to strengthen your spirit. Waiting on Me is starvation for the desires of self. When self begins to die, endurance grows.Pearl, no training and self-discipline is easy or it would be of no use. Expect delays in  your training as most athletes fall down, make mistakes and sometimes injure themselves. Athletes who allow eagerness and excitement to rule over them will often not submit to  the tedious exercises their coach requires. When this happens, they often get hurt.

Pearl, watch your emotions. They can get in the way of your training. They can stop the waiting process and cause you to run ahead of Me. Endurance has rewards. The longdistance runner learns how to control his emotions and settle down into a peaceful stride. This peaceful and comfortable stride can be continued for many miles. After running in a peaceful stride that is submissive and accepts the long length of the race, the runner sometimes experiences a “high”or euphoric feeling. This encourages him to continue and is his reward for patiently enduring the distance.

Pearl, waiting on Me, submitting to the possibility of the trial being much longer than  expected, daily making the decision to continue waiting with patience will increase your  awareness of My Presence. Peace will reign even in adverse circumstances. Miraculous joy will rise up within you as your spirit submits to Me. This joy will combine with  increasing strength and carry you across the finish line.

I Am the Author and Finisher of your faith. Like a coach, I know what will strengthen  your faith. In this season of Our journey together, I Am bringing your faith to a new level of maturity. Yes, Pearl, waiting is difficult, but you won’t be waiting alone. I Am here. I  wait with you. I will keep you company as you wait. Seasons are just that . . . seasons.  They come and go. They become something you look back on. Seasons may seem long  while they are in front, but after they have passed you realize they were not too long after all.

Do not let the forward position of the season discourage you. If a runner focuses on the long length of miles ahead, he may become discouraged and quit. Put your focus on Me and My Love for you. Keep your eyes on Me and not on what may lie ahead. Let’s fill Our days with love for each other. Let’s explore My Word together while we wait. Let’s explore truth reflected in Papa’s creation while we wait. Thankfulness will fill your heart and replace discouragement. Before you know it, you will have endured the long wait.  Your spirit will have received training and your faith will be strong. Let’s get started,  Pearl. Let’s run the race of waiting.
I love you, My Bride!

The Idol of Self

Pearl,
Up until now you have served the one who has wronged you for so long. You have done that person good and not evil. You have been silent while his faults were glaring. You  have been silent while he has been inconsistent and self-serving. Now, you are to  graduate to the next level. Love your enemy. That, for you Pearl, means more than  serving and not complaining. That means to unite in loving support of this person. That means to overcome aversion. That means to let me show you what prevents you from truly loving in total grace. Let me kill what keeps you in a state of desiring to remain at an emotional distance. Let me show you the real barrier that prevents you from truly  meeting your challenger’s needs.

Pearl, you believe you love Me. You do, but only to a small degree. There is someone you love more than Me. It is your self. You see, when you were a baby and a child, your self  was your first love. You demanded what self wanted – food, comfort, attention, entertainment, sleep, pleasant surroundings, toys, your timing. When self did not get what she wanted, she cried and struggled. Anger came easily. Self-pity, a form of self-love,  reigned.

As you grew older, self’s desires looked mature, but they were actually the same – just in  different forms. Self then demanded fairness, thoughtfulness, reciprocated love, support and understanding. These are all good things for you to give to others, just as food is good for the body. But you are not to feed self by demanding someone else give them to  you. The real you can exist without them. I Am your food. I Am your support, love, and  understanding. Therefore when your self is turned off by the lack of these things in  another person, it is because you love self, desire for it to be gratified and resent the one you think should feed your self. You then remember all of the incidents in which you feel self was denied its’ due food and was violated instead. Love of self gives you the feelings of self-pity, unfairness, aversion, fear, intimidation, and the desire to avoid the person.  Loving your self makes you want to protect self rather than follow My instruction to love that person freely as I have loved you. Pride will defend self and its right to avoid loving  that person.

Pearl, in order for Me to completely fill you, self must die. You must give your heart wholly to Me. You can have no idols before Me. It is time to put away childish self so  that My Love can flow through you without being hindered. Are you willing for Me to  kill self? You cannot make self die on your own. Only I can put it on the cross. You only  need to give Me permission and then follow My instructions. That which you do not want to do – do it. Take the first step, like the priests who carried the ark took the first step into the water and I will do the rest. Give up everything that keeps you at a distance from that person. Open your heart to real love from Me and I will do the rest. Embrace, look into their face, smile from your heart – I will do the rest. When self screams, call upon Me to kill it. Step into the unknown with Me as you give up the parts of your life that are not supporting togetherness or real love for that person. Do not be afraid for self and self’s future comforts – remember self is going to die so it won’t miss those things it wanted. When self is gone, you will have something more wonderful to replace it – more of Me.  Our relationship will climb to a new level of ecstasy as self dies and you walk into the unknown. Your faith will soar along with joy and peace because you will have a greater measure of My Spirit within you. Self will lose her life, but you will gain life in Me. Let Me slay your self, Pearl. Let me bury her. Push through those barriers and love to the point that self is gone. Resentment will cease. Do it over and over until the last dying breath of self is over. Then the real Pearl, the Pearl that has abandoned self and loves only Me, will be resurrected by My Love.

We do this together, Pearl. You agree to this with your will. You take those difficult steps of faith and act against self’s interests. You do the hard things with a heart that is open to real love while doing them. Then leave the rest to Me. I will kill self. I will supply the grace, humility, compassion, and love. With the idol of self gone, Our Union can be more complete. Our Joy will be overwhelming. The power of true love will be unleashed and you will see the transformation of hearts and minds. Miracles will abound.

Will you allow self to die, Precious Pearl? Will you step into the unknown with Me? Resentment and self-pity are strong foes without Me, but with Me, you can overcome them and love all enemies. I will fight them for you, Pearl, but first, before I slay them, I  must slay your self. Do you trust Me? Do you trust in My Love for you? Do you believe that I will be your source of protection and fulfillment enough to no longer protect self’s ability to get her needs met? Will you let her die? For a while, she must die daily. Then  she will be gone. You will hardly be aware. You will sense an increase of My Love in you and feel My Passion for you more each day. You will notice an absence of fear.

Those things you gave up won’t be missed. A whole new life with great potential will open up before you. Die for Me, Pearl. I will raise up the real Pearl and We will be together forever.

I love you, Dear, Dear Pearl. I will help you.

For he who has died has been freed from sin. Now if we died with Christ,  we believe that we shall also live with Him.

Love Your Enemy The Idol of Self

Little Pearl,
It’s all about you and Me. Your world actually includes just you, Me, Holy Spirit, and  Jesus. We three are One so your world actually boils down to two . . . yours and Mine. Do not consider My other daughters. Do not consider those around you. I will guide you  where they are concerned.

Your world actually only consists of My great love for you. Do not be swept away by  concerns about others. They each are in their own worlds. Their worlds also contain just them and Me. Some know this, but others do not. Those who do not know this try to put life on earth in My place.

For you, My Sweet Little Pearl, your world is both large and small. It is large because I  Am large. Nothing is impossible for Me. Possibilities are endless. My Love for you is without end. All resources are Mine. Therefore, Our world is large.

Your world is also small. I created you for intimacy with Me. Therefore, only you and I  are in Our world. I Am with you and you are with Me. You may be surrounded by busy  people and events, but the reality is you are actually alone in Our world with just Me. You can come into My Arms even in the midst of turmoil and crowds. You can hear My Voice when there is tremendous noise on the outside.

Live exclusively with me, Little Pearl. Live only in Our world. Fulfill your outside duties, but live with Me in your center, in Our Secret Place. Live life from the inside out. The more you remain in Our World, just you and Me, the more I can expand your sense of My great love for you. The more you live intentionally with Me in Our world, the more you  will hear My Voice and sense My Presence. Our love is to be the most intimate love you can possibly experience. Our love is to be the most fulfilling and personal that you can experience. Yes, I love those you read about in the Bible. Yes, I Love others around you, but they are not in Our world. Our world is just for you and Me. Personal. Intimate. Bare. Infused with mercy and grace. Hidden from view. Rich with peace. Your world is in My Everlasting Arms. Remain with Me, hidden in Our World.

I love you, Sweet Little Pearl.

• Luke 10:38-42 Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His word. But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, “Lord, do  You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to  help me.” And Jesus answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and  troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen  that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”
• John 12:2-7 There they made Him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Him.

But Jesus said, “Let her alone; she has kept this for the day of My burial. And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.

Created for intimacy with God Live life from the inside…out Hidden in Our world

Pearl,
The world is a scary place for those who do not have intimacy with me. You now view the world from your center, Our Secret Place. From that vantage point you see and feel My great, tremendous, passionate love for you and beyond My Love is the small happenings in the world outside. Your view of the outside world is buffered by Me. My  Voice is your primary sound. This is not the case for others. They have not learned to live primarily with Me. They do not hear My Voice above all the noise. Therefore, they are rocked by the events and people around them.

Pearl, the people who are around you are often in turmoil, confusion and fear. You  remember what that is like. Our intimacy brought you peace and comfort. You are now stable because you are with Me in Our world. This is not the case with those around you.  Yes, they know Scripture, but they do not live intimately with Me.

I had compassion on you, Precious Pearl, when you were rocked by people and events.  Now you have compassion on them. Compassion and understanding are the beginning of  real ministry. When you see poor judgement, hostility, attempts to control, know that the person is tormented with fear and insecurity. Just continue to live with Me, in glorious intimacy and Our love will spill out on to them. You won’t need a script, program, advice, books or any props. Just remain in My Arms and be open. I will orchestrate events. You will respond to the events as one who is secure and buffered.

Those around you will see their own fear and your peace. There may be conversation, but it is not necessary. Holy Spirit will provide all that is needed. If the person needs instruction and testimony, you will know. Just remain with Me. You have no way of  knowing if you are to plant the seed, water the seed or trim the vine. Just remain in My  favorite place – Our world – just you and Me. Leave all to Me.

I love you, My Sweet Pearl of Great Price.

Pearl,
I Am your Prophet, Priest and King. Your name and each of your days are written in My  Book. Your life was preplanned by Me. Nothing that has happened was an accident. My  Ways are not your ways. My Thoughts are not your thoughts. Therefore, there is much  that you do not understand. Do not worry. Do not try to understand everything. To apply  logic and human reasoning to things that are not yet for you to know is fruitless. Trust Me. All things will be revealed in My Father’s time. He is the Authority. Bow and submit to Him – to His timing and purposes. Never demand to know why. He will reveal all things to you in His Own timing, His Way, and according to His Will.

When your life is in turmoil and you do not even understand yourself, just be humble,  knowing that only your Heavenly Father is in control. You are actually powerless – even  to understand what is going on. Therefore, submit even your desire to understand. Desire only to be with Me. Desire only to follow Me. Desire only My Voice, even if I do not give you all the answers you want right away. Trust Me . . . blindly.
There is a time and a purpose for everything under the sun.  Nothing that happens is lost to My Father. He uses all things for His Will and purposes. No one can know His mind.  Desire only Me and Our Kingdom.

I will be your Prophet who teaches you in the way you should go. I will be your Priest who presents you before the Throne of Grace. I will be your King who reigns over all the happenings in your life. Submit to My Voice, My Leading and My Purposes. Trust Me blindly, even if you do not understand. Submitting to what you do not understand is humility.

Follow Me as a sheep follows it’s Shepherd. It has no understanding of why the rain is falling, why the path is so steep and difficult, why the Shepherd is leading in this direction rather than another, how long the trip will last, whether there will be generous provisions or only enough to survive and what will happen to the other sheep. It only  knows that as long as it hears and follows its’ beloved Shepherd, it will be safe.

Follow Me, Pearl. Follow Me blindly. Follow Me when the future looks bleak. Follow Me when your heart is breaking with pain, sorrow and discouragement. Follow Me when  the pressure is intense. Follow Me even if you feel unsafe.

Trust Me. Do not trust in your ability to understand what is happening. You have an  advantage over many around you. You have Me to lead you. Others are blind and they are being led by either their own blinded minds or by others who are equally blind. Do not mistake the loudness of their voice or their sphere of influence for insight. Confusion  reigns deep within them. Their confidence is a mask.

Only My sheep hear My Voice and only My Voice is the Voice of Truth. Listen for My  Voice. As your Prophet, I will not let you be deceived. Just pay attention and seek My  Face every moment. Because I Am your Priest, your path will be covered with Mercy and Grace.

As your King, I will use My Authority and Resources to protect you. As long as you  submit to My rule, you will remain under the Shelter of My Wing. The arrogant and  prideful are those who always demand to know, “Why?!” They are really demanding that My Father submit to them for the purpose of judgement. No man judges the Father. This is foolish and evil. The Pharisees demanded a sign because they refused to humbly  submit to a Higher Authority. Precious Pearl, a gentle and quiet spirit rests in My Arms even when the circumstances are intense. The peace that I give you comes when you  submit and accept all blindly from My Hand, knowing that I Am your Prophet, Priest, and King.

I will show you all things, but only in the proper season. This is the season for  submitting, waiting, and trusting. This is the season for blindly following Me like the three Wise Men blindly followed the star. They did not know what kind of journey it would be, but their desire to seek Me and find Me overruled their desire to have all the details.

I Am your reward. I reward all those who diligently seek Me. I Am your Prophet, Priest, and King. I Am also your Husband and the One who loves you with a passion. I will handle everything. Just remain quiet and in submission. I love you, My beauty, My Pearl.

My Dear Pearl,

Many are the trials and afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers them out of them all. To be abandoned, lost, alone, unaided, and without help is one of man’s greatest fears. The enemy uses many circumstances to enable that fear to penetrate unsuspecting minds. Papa and Jesus never planned for you to be alone or abandoned. The fact is, My Pearl, you cannot be in a state of aloneness or abandonment. We are here with you at all times. I Am in your very breath.

Confess your sin and weakness, My Pearl, as soon as I help you to see it. The time you fall is not when you are abandoned. You may not feel me through your shame and  discouragement, but I Am still here, closer than your breath. I do not reveal your sin and  turn to leave. On the contrary, I reveal so that I can then guide you through repentance and restoration. I carry out the transforming and restoration. I carry out the transforming of your heart and the renewing of your mind.

I know all things. Your sin is no secret to Me, but often it is to you. When I reveal it to  you, do not let discouragement set in. Turn to Me and ask for My help. I Am your Helper. I Am Wisdom. I do not give My help and wisdom grudgingly. I Am not discouraged or impatient with you. I desire holiness and purity in you so that you can have more intimate fellowship with Us. I can be compared to a coach, a teacher, and a nurse. Each one wants their charge to succeed. Turn to Me time and time again. When you fail, turn to Me. I will not withdraw – on the contrary, I will respond to your cry for help. James 3:2 says, “For  we all stumble in many things.”

My Pearl, you will continue to stumble. Just know that I Am here in love – even when  you stumble and fall. Your failures do not frighten Me or turn Me away. Weak and blind men may abandon each other, but I Am here to stay. Do not be afraid. You will never be alone, no matter what happens. Just give Me time for My Voice to penetrate the noise of  your swirling thoughts and feelings. Mine is the Voice of Comfort and Peace. Mine is the sense of acceptance and love. Be patient and wait for My Voice.

Just as a mother witnesses the sin and failures of her children, but loves them with all the fulness of heart, I love you. A good mother does not abandon her young child when he has a tantrum or loses control. No, that is the time when she gives even more attention to  him, doing whatever is necessary to help him recover order, purity and peace. My Pearl, when you fail, I Am there. I will mourn your sin with you. Then I will teach and restore you. Run to Me every time. My Arms are always open wide for you. Talk to Me. Then talk to Me again. Stop and pay attention to Me. Be patient. Sometimes I use something outside of you as a communication tool. Be patient. Expect Me to teach you. Expect My Wisdom to come. Wait for it. Remember that Satan is a liar.

I love you, My Pearl, and nothing can ever change that. I Am closer than your breath. I  Am your Breath of Life. Sometimes I whisper.

My Pearl,
You grieved and mourned painfully over your inability to do what Jesus asked you to do.  Your desire was to please the One you love. You tried and even took steps, but failed.

My Daughter, loving one who has been like an enemy to you for a long time is an  impossibility for anyone. Your natural self cannot tear down those walls you felt which  prevented your actions of service and love from being truly heart-felt love.

Hardness of heart does not change simply because you desire it to. You found this out when you attempted to obey Jesus. Your spirit was eager to obey, but your flesh was weak. You attempted to do what you willed to do, but found that you could not. I was there during your grieving process and held you while you cried. You mourned your hard  heart. That was as it should be.

Your grieving over sin actually causes the death of that part of you. Much of self died  during those two days, but you were unaware. All you felt was your inability to obey. You felt your own powerlessness over sin. Your eyes were open to the fact that you have nothing within yourself worthy of offering to the One you are so in love with, and you  cannot even carry out the simple tasks He asks of you.

My Pearl, you can do nothing on your own. Even when you desire to please and obey,  you cannot. That is because Papa designed you for dependence. You never were intended  to be an independent being. Embrace your dependence. Turn to Me constantly. Nothing is impossible when you and I work together. Now you know this, because I softened your  heart. You came to Me in humility and offered your heart of walls to Me. You held your  spirit in an attitude of meekness and stillness, and waited on Me to enable you to love the one Jesus wanted you to love.

Now, a sense of wonder has replaced your discouragement, as you have become comfortable being with the one who opposed you for so long. Words of support and  encouragement come with sincerity and ease from your mouth now. Each day your heart grows softer. Now you are experiencing the great joy that comes with obedience and  giving something to Jesus that you know would please Him.

My Pearl, I Am a storehouse of treasure. Your hands are empty. You have no gifts in your  own self that you can offer to the One you love. You have no ability to do the things He asks you to do. You know that the requests He makes are good and right. You know how much pleasure you will have if you can please Jesus. Motivation was not your problem. It was ability. My Pearl, sin is like a heavy chain that is wrapped around your heart. When  you want your heart to be open to loving someone who has mistreated you, the chain of  bitterness keeps it closed. No matter how much you are motivated to pull the bitter chain  off and obey the Lover of your soul, you cannot do it alone. Bitterness and hardness of  heart are too strong. It is impossible to break free from them alone. My Pearl, you are not alone. I Am here. I Am your Helper.
I can tear down walls, break chains, and soften hearts. I can enable you to love your  enemies. You were made for dependence on Me. Independence from Me only brings weakness and vulnerability. The more you accept your own empty-handedness, the more I can fill those hands. Now you can truly love the unlovable. Now you can give a gift of  love to your Husband, Jesus, by giving love with a soft heart, to the one who is blinded by sin. Now you and Jesus can enjoy intimate times opening gifts you give to each other.  Your heart will be full of joy as Jesus and you re-experience the viewing of the scenes of  loving service toward your enemy.

Love, genuine love, is powerful. You will delight in the transformation of that difficult one. Miracles will burst forth like the abundance of blueberries now exploding on your  blueberry bushes. The fruit from coming to Me in humble meekness, fully embracing  your empty hands, and dependence will be everlasting fruit. I can only fill the hearts of  those who are humble, meek, lowly, and completely aware of their dependence on Me.  Motivation to obey and serve is not the issue. Many followers of Jesus have zeal. They  eagerly run to serve Him. The issue is humility and dependence. Anything that is done in man’s own strength and giftings is unfruitful in the kingdom of God.

Service without genuine love may have the right appearance, but it is hollow and  infertile. Works offered to Jesus without My help are self-glorifying. They become instruments of self-worship. This is dangerous idolatry. That is why Papa designed you to depend upon Me. Self must not be glorified. That is extremely dangerous.

The sinful self has a voracious appetite for glory. Glory will keep sinful self alive. All glory must be given to God alone. Only He can handle glory. Lucifer thought he could  handle glory, so he took some for himself. It birthed death in him. Desire to obey Jesus and serve Him, My Pearl, but do it with Me. This way you are kept safe from feeding self and its desire for glory. Rejoice in your weakness. Embrace the fact that you have nothing and can do nothing without Me. Enjoy your dependence on Me. In this, you will be like the angels who love to watch Papa’s mighty works with marvel and delight.

I love you, my Pearl and I love being your storehouse of treasure.

• II Corinthians 12:10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in  persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Pearl,
You understand that I Am not far from you. You now are experiencing My kingdom within you. You know that I Am very much alive and Am living within you. You know what it means to be “filled with the Spirit.” My Hand is on you and I will never remove it. No longer will you make decisions on your own. No longer will you analyze circumstances and apply logic and personal preferences to make decisions. In Me you  live, move, and have your being. In My Will you have joy. You are no longer your own.  You are Mine. Your identity is in Me. I have become your world and your life. I Am in  your center and everything revolves around Me. Your thoughts mingle with Mine. You  can hardly distinguish between your thoughts and Mine. This is called having the “mind  of Christ.” This is called, “Putting off the old man and putting on the new.” This is called  being “hidden in Christ.”

Bit by bit, day by day, as your old nature dies by your submission to Me, I fill you with  more of Myself and give you a new nature. I make all things new. This does not mean  that you won’t fail anymore. The process of perfecting you is just that . . . a process. It has not been completed.

We are on a journey together, you and I. Each step of the journey takes Us deeper into  Papa’s plan. When Papa created the Garden of Eden, it was perfect. It operated  beautifully, according to Papa’s plan. Everything was in order. The beauty of the garden reflected the beauty of its Creator. The pleasures hidden deep within Eden reflected the pleasures within its Creator. The marvelous mysteries in the Garden of Eden represented  the marvelous mysteries of its Creator.

Adam and Eve were given the privilege of enjoying the beauty, pleasures, and mysteries of the Garden of Eden by Papa because He loves them. The greatest beauty, pleasure, and  mystery of the Garden of Eden was Our Presence. Pearl, Papa is in the process of  restoring the Garden of Eden. It is being rebuilt day by day. Papa loves the Garden so it is His favorite project. He never stops working on restoring it to its original beauty, pleasure, and mystery. He has already begun pouring Himself into  it. The Garden of Eden grows more beautiful, pleasurable, and full of wonderful mysteries every hour. He has enclosed Eden – the new Eden – with a wall. It is hidden from human  eyes. It is now in a Secret Place. This Secret Place is holy ground because Our Presence is there.

The Garden of Eden is Our home. It is Our favorite place to live. Our fellowship in the Garden is intense, mysterious, and sweet. The Garden of Eden is a place We will never  leave. This new garden was Papa’s plan all along. He never intended for the original Garden to remain as it was. It was a prototype of an even better garden – like a symbol of things to come.

Pearl, my beautiful, pleasurable, and marvelous bride, you are Our new Garden of Eden.  Papa has created Our garden within you. He is in the process of building it minute by  minute, day by day. We never stop working on building within the walls of your body a garden of beauty, pleasure, and mystery that reflects the Creator Himself.

Your spirit is the new location of Eden. Our kingdom and home is within you. Our  favorite place – Our beautiful garden of wonder and delight is within you. Come away  with Me into Our garden. Let’s enjoy the delights together. But know this, Pearl, an  enemy has sown some bad seeds in your garden. These seeds were those of weeds.  Weeds, if left alone, will shoot strong roots deep into the soil to anchor themselves against uprooting. Then they sprout and grow above the surface of the soil and spread  themselves far. They reproduce quickly. The weeds are capable of choking life out of the other plants.

Pearl, your garden is not without weeds. As you continue to submit to us, We are uncovering and uprooting the weeds in your garden. Some weeds have very strong roots that have spread themselves wide under the soil of your garden. The roots were unknown by you. I have been digging around them to expose and loosen them. When I did, you  saw them for the first time. The circumstances I placed you in have been My shovel to  expose these bitter roots. You were very upset when you saw them. You tried to pull them out of your garden yourself, but could not.

Pearl, these roots do not come out easily. You can do nothing without Me – not even weed  your own garden. We must pull these bitter roots out together. The process has not been  easy. It required using the proper tools – difficult circumstances – to break up the ground,  dig deep, and expose the hiding place of the roots of the weeds. Then you had to see them for yourself and acknowledge that they were indeed there. Next, you tried your best to  pull them, but failed.

Seeing your own weakness was a part of the process, Pearl. Like a small, helpless child with only a plastic shovel that was of no real use, you ran to Me, lay at My feet, and held  still in complete surrender and humble need. As you held very still and submitted to Me, I extracted the weeds from Our garden – root and all.

Pearl, this process will be repeated over and over. We are not only extracting weeds, but we are building delightful areas in you, Our Garden of Eden. We are building with the finest of seeds – love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. These seeds produce the most delightful fruit and even the trees and vines themselves provide beautiful areas for rest and sweet fellowship. We have provided new rivers of water for your garden. These rivers contain Living Water. I Am their source. All of the trees which are planted in your garden receive water from Me. They are stable, because I have planted them in good, welcoming, cooperative soil.

Pearl, continue to submit to the Hand of Papa as He builds Eden within you. This is a process that only He can complete. It will sometimes be pleasurable, but other times it will be excruciatingly painful. Humbly submit. Patiently endure. Remain in Eden with  Me and We will watch the handiwork of the Master as it is taking place. I love your  garden – Our Eden – Pearl. It is My favorite place. It is Our Secret Place.

Pearl,
My Hand is not shortened that it cannot save. Patience is necessary when you are concerned about the hearts of loved ones. No one knows what is truly happening in the heart of another. Even that person is largely unaware of all that is going on in his own  heart. Only I can search the depths of the human heart, just like only I can search the depths of the oceans. Time and circumstances belong to Me. I use both according to My  purposes. No one can control the intricacies of the life of another – except Me. I Am in  complete control. All the elements are at My disposal. Therefore, nothing is impossible for Me.

I do all things in My time, according to Papa’s plan. No one can thwart Our purposes. We use everything. Satan thought he could interfere with Our purpose and twist it according  to his desire. We used his plan to further Ours.

So when you encounter resistance and hardness of heart in others, do not be upset. When  they do not listen to your testimony, do not become worried. You cannot plant a garden when it is winter time and the ground is frozen. You are powerless to change the seasons on earth, just like you are powerless to control the heart of another. But We are working.  We are always working. The seasons change at Our command. To plant seed in frozen  ground is to waste the seed. Rather, have patience.

The farmer or gardener is not idle during the winter months. He knows the ground will eventually thaw, so he waits. While he is waiting, he studies seed catalogs and mends his tools. My Pearl, while you are waiting for the hearts of family members to thaw enough to accept seeds of truth, focus on your own relationship with Us. Let Us sharpen  and repair your tools – the tools of your heart. This task takes time. After all, you do not know what is happening in your own heart. Therefore, you do not know what is coming out of your heart in front of others. You cannot make yourself display My fruit just by  your own choosing. Your control over your own heart is incomplete. Therefore, the tools for gardening may not be effective in their current state. Have patience. Let Me repair and adapt the tools within your own heart, so that they can be used for planting a garden of  truth and salvation within someone else’s heart. Have patience. These things take time.

Be encouraged to know that We are always working. We work, even at night while everyone is sleeping. I can clean, repair, and sharpen the areas of your own heart while manipulating the season in the heart of another. I can also use your tools for planting a garden in hearts that belong to others whose season is one of springtime. Therefore, you  must watch and listen for the signs of Spring. When you see warmth on the countenance of an individual in the form of acceptance, interest, and brokenness, then you know the soil of their heart is soft and ready for planting. Do not attempt to plant before Spring. If  you do, your own tools may be damaged by discouragement and the seed wasted. You  will encounter hearts that are in springtime. Even then, you must follow My leading and  only speak when I give you the words.

Use the tools of love and service. Serve Papa and Jesus in your everyday life and the hearts of those in springtime will notice. Planting the seeds of truth will then be almost effortless. A farmer is also careful not to plant too many seeds too close together. When  the time is right for sharing truth with a loved one, follow My lead and only share what I  show you. Do not let zeal cause you to over plant, waste seed, and ruin the plan of the Master Gardener. Plant little by little.

Live your life of loving Me as the result of Our closeness, and I will use that as much as I  use more direct methods for planting seed. Moths are attracted to light. The light does not have to search for moths and convince them to come fly around it. All the light has to do is what it does without thought or effort – simply be light. Therefore, My Pearl, just relax and enjoy spending time with Jesus in your own garden. Explore your own marriage relationship with Him. Enjoy Our walks together in your garden. Let’s talk while we uncover mysteries that Papa has planted in your garden. I will teach you wonderful things. I will uproot weeds and cause flowers to bloom in your own garden.

Enjoy My Presence and bask in My peace. In the midst of Our fellowship in your garden, you will be pleased to discover that the season of your loved one’s heart has changed and  they have noticed the beauty of your own garden. They see the sweet fellowship We enjoy within your garden, and a yearning for that love-party begins in them. That is Papa’s way, My Pearl. Enjoy Our love-party within your garden. Only I know who has eyes to  see that love.

I will execute Papa’s plan and change the seasons of the heart, according to His will. Then planting a few seeds will be easy. So be patient and faithful, My Pearl. My Arm is not too short to reach the heart of your loved one. Just keep your eyes on Me and let’s enjoy Our  own love-party within the walls of your own garden. I love you, My Pearl.

Pearl,
Where are you going when you follow the swirling, unending, rabbit trails of your mind? The mind is easily led. It is easy to persuade. It is easy to deceive. The mind is a tremendous force, as it can control your will and behavior. Whoever can control your  mind can control you. Many evil forces compete for positions of influence over your  mind. They use other people to manipulate your thoughts into a pattern that will accept the opposite of truth. Satan is a deceiver and a liar. He can manipulate you through access to your mind.

Pearl, you are the gatekeeper of your mind. You can open or close the door to evil forces that desire to penetrate your mind with lies and pressures. You can say, “No” to them and  remove the source of their voices from your life. The source of their voices can take many forms, as they have many types of people who have made themselves open to be used by evil. The sources of deceitful forces and evil pressures on your mind can be other people around you that have the power to influence you. Pearl, do not give anyone the power to teach you, persuade you, or conform you that is not of My sheep. If they do not have My Life flowing through them, then they can be a conduit for evil influences. They  may look like one of My sheep, but if their influence isn’t filling your mind with love and enabling you to come close to Me, then they are being used by the enemy.

Music is a conduit. Music channels My Love and Presence, if it is full of worship for Papa. Music can also channel evil. Music has the power to relax your spirit and open it to  the forces within the music. It can open your mind to manipulation. Pearl, if you are to  remain in My Truth, you must use your gate-keeping authority and remove all that is channeling forces that are not of Me. Ask yourself, “Is this person, this voice, this media source increasing my love, peace, and closeness with My Husband, Jesus, or is it pulling  my mind into a distant place?”

The spirit of fear is difficult to identify when you are being influenced by it. Other forces like lust, greed, revenge, hatred, and jealousy are easier to identify. Fear uses others to gain power over your mind and cause your spirit to become deaf to My Voice. Fear causes you to alter your decisions and behavior. Fear can cause your mind to become restless, spin, and swirl. I never give you a spirit of fear. Instead, I give you power to  control your mind through My love, peace, and truth.

Turn away from sources of fearful thoughts. When fearful thoughts hit your mind, run to  Me. Give those thoughts to Me. Accept the truth of My Love for you in the place of those thoughts. Accept the memories of times in the past, when I acted on your behalf in My  faithfulness toward you. Accept the testimonies of others who have also experienced My Love and faithfulness.

Listen to music that influences your spirit to worship Papa. When you worship Papa,  Holy Spirit fills your spirit and counteracts the influences of evil thoughts in your mind.  Your spirit’s eyes will then be opened to see the source of dark influences. Turn those sources out of your mind. Put them away from you. Ask Me and I will be a shield for  your spirit and your mind. If the voice of fear or some other evil is coming from a family  member, just remain in your secret Place, Our garden, with Me. Let My Love for you be your shield. Compare My Love for you with the voice of that family member, so you can confirm whether or not they are being used by the enemy to control your thoughts. If so,  do not let them have that power over you. Be willing for them to disapprove or reject you before you give their voice an entrance into your mind. If they choose to reject you, I will be your fulfillment. Leave all to Me. It is better to have their rejection than their control.  It is better to hear My Voice of Truth and Love than theirs.

Pearl, your mind is a wonderful gift from Papa. He made you to be the gatekeeper over  your mind. Be very careful about what voices and influences you allow into your mind.  Remember that your mind is vulnerable to manipulation by evil forces. Test all voices and influences around you. If they are communicating unconditional love, peace, and  closeness with Me, then they are from Me. Any other voice that is not from Me is from the evil one. There are no neutral voices or influences. One is either for Me or against Me. Neutrality is a lie. Neutrality is not possible. Constantly check each source of  influence in your life. Ask Holy Spirit for wisdom and discernment. Ask Holy Spirit to  give you “eyes to see and ears to hear,” so you can tell the difference between truth and  lies.

You are not alone, Pearl. We will help you to guard your mind. Just ask Us daily. When We reveal a source of evil manipulation to you, do not hesitate to remove it as an  influence in your mind. Ask for wisdom. Holy Spirit will give it to you. I love you, Pearl!

My Pearl,

I Am your Teacher. I will guide you moment by moment. Just train your inner being to  look to Me and listen. I will open your eyes to what is really happening. My Sweet Pearl,  do not trust in your senses. There is so much happening that is veiled from your mind and senses. Therefore, you must understand that the information they receive is only a fraction of what is actually happening at any given moment. That is why you must learn  to depend on Me more and more. Jesus sent Me to you for this very purpose.

There is a realm that is hidden from your view. First, there is the realm of the spirit. This realm includes both evil and Godly forces. Then there is the realm of the human spirit.  This realm exists between the world and the realm of the spirit and touches both. Finally,  there is the kingdom of Papa. His realm is above all. He gave you senses for life on earth and a spirit that can receive from the other realms.

My Pearl, guard your spirit. Guard it from the forces of evil that you cannot detect with  your five senses. Remember that Satan knows the truth. He can see into all the realms. He sees what is happening all the time. Therefore, you must rely on Me to be your spiritual eyes and ears. I will be like a trained seeing-eye dog for you. I can see behind the masks of the enemy. Therefore, you must develop the skill of paying attention to My leadings. I  will lead you very gently. I Am never loud or forceful. I will give your spirit subtle inclinations of peace in one direction or the other. Do not look for Me in the reasonings of your mind. Human minds are easily manipulated by the enemy. Look for Me to direct your spirit. The more you turn to Me for sight, the better you will become at detecting  My leadings. It takes practice and stepping out in faith. Trust Me. I know when a heart is sincerely wanting to be led by Me.

When you desire Me to guide every step, I Am thrilled. I Am highly motivated to help  you just like a good, loving mother is highly motivated to guide her children. If a human  mother responds to her child’s request for help, then how much more will I respond to  your desire for Me? I will reveal to you what is hidden by the darkness. Just continually  ask for My help. The fact that you are blind to much that is happening is part of Papa’s plan. You see, you were never meant to operate independently from Us. If you could see into all the realms, then you could respond independently. This would cause you to  become full of pride as you take away glory that is only for Papa. Only He can handle glory. It is dangerous for you. Therefore, a state of dependency is safe for you, My Pearl.  Dependency protects you from your self. Humility is your safe place. Embrace your  dependency. Embrace your weakness and limitations. Thank Papa for them. Turn to Me constantly and I will be your eyes and ears. Seek My Wisdom in all circumstances. Recognize the limitations of reason and analysis. Take the time to focus on Me. I love to guide those who humble themselves and seek Me.

I love you, My Pearl. I will never leave you to flounder blindly in a dangerous world.

Little Pearl,
You are Mine. You belong to Me. I do dance and rejoice over you. I Am so happy that We are walking together. I treasure Our moments together which is why We will never cease to be together.

Your spirit is now My Tent of Meeting, My Tabernacle, My Temple, the place in which I  choose to dwell. I dwell in the midst of you – your spirit – because I love you. I Am more than beside you – I Am within you. When you approached the outer courts of My  Presence, I was thrilled – but that is not enough for Me. I do not want you to be in the outer court. I want you to be in the Holy of Holies – My Presence. I want nothing less than union with you. I want you to lose your self and your earthly life and be swallowed up in Me. Meditate on My Presence. Be still and quiet. Meditate on Me. I will guide you  and bring you through rich, healing, life-giving experiences with Me.  I will pour out the latter rain of My Presence on you, like a tropical storm waters the ground in the spring. At  first there will be only humidity that you will detect – a few promising small clouds. But,  Little Pearl, the more you desire Me and open yourself to Me in trusting abandonment,  the more My Presence will rain down on you. As you give more and more focus, time, and love to Me, I will fill you with more and more latter rain. I will give you the keys to  heaven and earth. I will reveal mysteries to you. I will open your eyes to revelations of  Truth that will astound you and make you wonder why you never saw them before. Open your mouth and I will fill it. You will speak for Me to those in worldly society you never thought you would be communicating with.

Do not worry about what you will say. That is My joy. I will train you to hear and then speak My Words of Truth. Little Pearl, this all begins with meditating on Me and desiring to be in the Holy of Holies with Me. A few rain drops will turn into a flood of Living Water. Do not be nervous. It won’t happen all at once. Everything will take place in My perfect timing. I Am loving kindness. I will be loving and kind in everything concerning  you. A teacher does not expect his student to perform until he has had time to learn and  practice the lessons. Your understanding of time is not the same as Mine. Just enjoy My  Presence. Enjoy My Love. Enjoy conversing with Me all day long. Enjoy bringing Me into every task and duty. I will make the most difficult duties bearable. Trust Me to make your day as I wish it to be. Just be careful to follow My lead. No one will hear Our  conversations in the Holy of Holies, deep within your temple. One of the joys of Our  fellowship is its exclusivity. We are in Our own, private, sacred place together … just you and I. No one can enter. No one can stop Us. No one can remove Me from you. Don’t let your mind be distracted from Our fellowship. If you find that you have been distracted,  just gently bring your inner being back into an awareness of Me. I will help you. I will give you prompts when your attention has drifted. I Am not angry or frustrated. I know the pull of the world. Just depend on Me to guide you deeper and deeper into My  Presence every day.That is where I will transform you.

When I made a covenant with you, I gave you the right to be on holy ground with Me.  Little Pearl, this is not to be taken lightly. Your garden has become holy ground – My  Holy Ground. Trust Me, Little Pearl.

Pearl,
I love you. I know your heart yearns to be in completion union in heaven with Me. I will fulfill you. Be patient. We must fulfill Papa’s purposes. Focus on My Presence and I will give you all you need for now – My Peace, My Love, My Joy. Your yearning will continue, just as David, Paul, and Mary Magdalene yearned for Me. Together We will fulfill Papa’s purposes. The yearning you have for Me will serve a purpose – it will serve to protect you. Do not let it discourage you. It serves to protect your focus. Nothing on earth will ever compare to the riches of Our love. Nothing else will ever appeal to you again. You will have little trouble with the lust of the flesh since your desire is for Me.

I love you, Precious Pearl. I knew this day would come. I knew you would be My wife. I  yearned for you before you were born. I have been waiting for you while the seasons of  your life prepared your heart. The soil of Our garden had to be prepared. It was a long, tedious process, but look at the harvest of love We are reaping! Short cuts won’t work when it comes to preparing soil. Pearl, you are My reward for carrying out Papa’s plan. I eagerly desire you. But there is still work to be done.

As My wife, you are bone of My Bone and flesh of My Flesh. Therefore, you have My  Heart and My Spirit. You also have My Mind and know the desires of My Heart. You have My Name and My Authority.  You have My Eye and My Guidance. You asked Me not only to be your Husband, but also to possess you. I did/do and that is why you are embodying Me on earth. You are following My Voice and My leading to minister truth to those whose hearts are broken and confused. Holy Spirit leads the hurting sheep to your path and I heal and speak truth to them through you. We would not be doing this together so well if you had not asked Me to completely possess you. Many ask Me into their lives, but they mean only in a shallow or superficial way. They are afraid to relinquish complete control and abandon their spirit to My possession. That is a much deeper act of faith and  trust. Only souls who have experienced the intimacy and depth of My love for them have the faith to abandon their spirits to Me.

Possession means permanent ownership and complete control. It means abandoning all your rights and freedom to follow after your own will or desire. It means the loss of your  own identity.

I lead you by example. It was the last thing I said before I died. “Father, into Your Hands I commit My Spirit.” My Spirit was no longer under My control. I trusted Papa’s complete control and possession of My Spirit. This was no superficial statement of control. Papa had complete domination and possession as I handed My Spirit over to Him. I abandoned Myself to Him. This is a foreign concept to many. This is a terrifying idea to most. Perfect love casts out fear. If they know of My perfect love, they would have no fear of abandoning themselves to Me. Actually, the opposite of their fear is what is true. The more you abandon yourself to Me and allow Me to possess you, the more freedom you have. My possession of a soul is what frees a soul. A soul cannot be completely free unless it is free in Me. Only I can give freedom. The power of your free will does not give real freedom. Your will does not give you safety. People mistakenly think that safety lies in the freedom of choice. Safety is only found in Me. I can protect a soul by My possession of it. I can cover your spirit with My Spirit. I can keep your spirit hidden from danger in the safest of all places – deep within Me. No evil can get to you there. I will hide you within Myself.

My Pearl, continue to lose yourself in Me. Let Me possess you more and more – layer by layer of your soul. Our love for each other will grow, as you lose your soul to My  possession. Your thoughts and My thoughts will become one as We become One. You will become indistinguishable from Me. Your words will be My Words. The more I possess you, the more you will embody Me. I will once again walk the earth through you. I will once again minister Truth to the dying people through you. I will heal the sick and set the captives free through you. The only difference is that this time, We will do these things together, you and I. This time We will do greater things than I did before, because We will mingle Our faith and love and do them together. Combined forces of love and faith are much stronger than a single force. Combined wills that are submitted to Papa’s Will have much greater power. More of His life can flow through Our Union. That is why, Precious Pearl, I planned for Our union to begin here on earth rather than in heaven.

So come into your Secret Place with Me. You will feel Me embrace your spirit as I  possess it more and more. I will fulfill your longing for Me now while We walk the earth together. Your joy will be complete in Me. Just abandon not only your self to Me, but also your lifetime. Trust in My plan for Us. I love you, My Beautiful Pearl.

Little Pearl, Pearl, My Pearl,

I Am the Lord your God and Husband, Father, Mother, Friend, Priest, and Lover of your soul. Know Me, Sweet Pearl. I want you to know Me. I will not withhold Myself from you. I want you to know what I Am. I know you love Me blindly, Precious Pearl. You have melted My Heart. Because you have willingly devoted your heart to Me without seeing Me or fully knowing Me, you shall have more of Me. I will reveal Myself to you.  You will see Me and know Who I Am, What I Am, and experience My loving kindness. I  Am holy, Beautiful Pearl, and holiness is beautiful. I Am pure, tender Pearl, and purity is love. I Am clean, Precious Pearl, and cleanliness is fire. I Am authority and power, Little Pearl, and authority with power is protection. I Am Joy, Happy Pearl, and Joy is strength of heart. I Am rest, Lovely Pearl, and rest is peace. I give to you, My Love all My Attributes. When We look at each other, We will see these attributes. I Am your Creator and The One who cherishes you. You are beautiful and I desire you to be with Me. I want you to know Me. I want to see the delight you will have as you explore the multiple upon  multiple layers of My Attributes. I do not hide Myself from you. The more you seek Me and desire to know Me, the more I will reveal Myself to you. I will always respond to your yearnings for Me. I also shed tears of love and yearning for you, just as you shed them for Me.

You will experience My Love in greater depth without measure, as you enter into more and more of My Presence. I Am yours – My Love is yours. I Am in covenant with you. I do not keep covenant with you as a duty to fulfill My obligation. I keep covenant with  you as the greatest desire and longing of My heart. I Am not without feelings. Indeed, My feelings are strong. My ability to fall in love with you is unlimited. I withhold some of  my passion from your view or you would be overwhelmed. There is no other God but Me . . .  And I want you.

It is the fire of My Love for you that will consume all My enemies – because they are your enemies. They desire to steal from you, kill you, and destroy you. Therefore, I will allow My anger to burn hot against them. These enemies are the enemies of your soul. They are unseen, but do drive forces behind what is seen. They are unheard, but do motivate the voices of darkness and pain which you can hear. Pearl, I Am your strong tower and Mt. Sinai. I will fill the temple of your spirit with the cloud of My Presence. You will know Me, as you experience Me. You will experience Me, as you seek and yearn for Me. The more you desire of Me, the more I will give of Myself to you. I Am unlimited, so I will fulfill you. Continue to seek Me, long for Me, and delight in Me. I will reveal more and more of Myself to you. I will surround you and fill you with more of My Love. The more you seek and desire of Me, the more I will give of Myself to you. Your love for Me draws Me, just as My Love for you first drew you.

And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to  the children of Israel.
• I John 4:19 We love Him because He first loved us.

Little Pearl,

Take dominion over your land. You land is not just the property around your house. Your  land is you – your spirit and your flesh. Because sin entered the world, the land became cursed. Adam was still to take dominion over the land and make it useful, but now it would be harder. Little Pearl, take dominion over your land. It has become polluted by sin. Your nature is corrupted by sin. I sent Jesus to die and break the power of sin over you. Now you are forgiven and set free from the grip of sin and resulting death. That does not mean the struggle is over. There are still weeds in your garden. Last night another weed was uncovered. You knew about this one. It has been sprouting up in your garden over and over.

Little Pearl, it is time to take dominion over the land I gave you. You must rule over your garden with an iron scepter. Do not stop with looking at your sin, repenting, and asking forgiveness. I do forgive you, Little Pearl, but there is more. Ask Me for help and realize what is at stake if you allow your land to become polluted again. Your land is Our garden. It is the intimate place for you and Jesus. Jesus, Holy Spirit, and I are not polluted. We will never take Our love from you, but if your land is allowed to become polluted again and again, then you will not be able to sense Our Presence. We will not be able to have this depth of fellowship. Ask. You will receive. Knock. You will find. Ask Holy Spirit for intervention. Ask Holy Spirit to bring conviction to the point of deliverance. You do not have to take dominion over your garden without Our help. Holy Spirit loves to rush to the aid of those who want their land to be unpolluted. But, Little Pearl, you are to take dominion over your garden. Holy Spirit will help you, but you initiate the work.

When the opportunity to sin returns – when the negative thoughts and attitudes present themselves – choose to ask Holy Spirit for help, and resist those thoughts and inclinations. Resist. Be silent before allowing your mouth to be polluted. Resist bitterness. Recognize and resist self-pity. See that pride is the root of many unsightly weeds. Self-righteousness is a weed that is often hiding underneath many pleasant plants. Look for self-righteousness and ask Holy Spirit to replace it with meekness and humility. Little Pearl,  looking at the weeds in your own garden will help you to recognize the attempts of the enemy to sow seeds of destruction – more weeds – within the soil. As you see the unsightly weeds that must be pulled from your land, you will not be greatly considering the weeds in someone else’s land. As you feel the intensity of the struggle with your own  weeds, you will have mercy and compassion on others who are struggling with their land. When you focus on the pollution in your land, you will overlook the pollution in someone else’s land. Mercy and compassion will help you to want to see only the beautiful plants in their land and comment on them with words of encouragement.

The very act of gardening – pulling out weeds of sin, making your soil soft, adding nourishment to the soil, watering what is beautiful and useful – this work will mold and shape your land to function not only as Our garden of fellowship and intimacy, but also as a place of healing and rest for others. There are private areas of your garden that are just for Us. Then there is the outer section – the outer court – where others may come and  enjoy the shade, fruit, and beauty. The scent of the sweet-smelling flowers in the inner  part of your garden will be carried in the wind to the outer court where others are permitted and refresh them.

The streams of Living Water that I give to your inner garden will also water the outer court and those who visit there. Do not be discouraged when I turn over the soil for you  to see roots of weeds. We will pull these weeds together. Take dominion over them. Set your heart and mind to their removal. Take the first steps and Holy Spirit will rush to your aid. Sing songs of worship while you work. Remember My Mercies and Love.  Remember My Loving kindness. Remember My Faithfulness and loyalty to you. Remember that I Am your Teacher – not your accuser. I Am not here to condemn you, but to restore your beauty. You are beautiful, Little Pearl. Your land and garden are becoming more beautiful every day. I love you.

Little Pearl,

My love does not change. In a world of constant flux and motion, where people make decisions, conduct business, move from one location to another, switch sides according to profit or personal gain, adopt differing views, tolerate strange ideas and life styles,  demand multiple choices and despise boredom, My Love for you is constant.

You are pushed and pulled emotionally, spiritually and sometimes even physically by the crowds of people and perspectives. The demands and pressures on the human soul are enormous. People are constantly feeling the threat of danger. The pressures of daily  living, for many, are equivalent to the pressures of soldiers in a war zone. The adrenaline flows without end in the body as it attempts to stay alive while simply maintaining a source of income, family and home. Many tasks and duties began as simple requirements, but in time, reveal themselves to be cruel taskmasters with whips and guns who demand  faster and faster obedience. My people have been sold, Little Pearl. They are in bondage.  They are living in slavery just as the Hebrews did in Egypt. The taskmasters are becoming increasingly cruel and their demands rise each day. The pressure to perform and produce grows as the hunger of those in control grows for more power and wealth.  Slavery is the evil spirit of this generation or age. Therefore, bondage of various forms exists everywhere.

My people are in bondage just like the Hebrews – only they do not know it. They have been sold, but not by another human. They sold themselves. When each person decided to live independently from Me, they walked into cages. Chains locked around their wrists and feet when they thought they were going to live a life of freedom. Little Pearl, living  life on your own, according to your own rules, desires and choices, makes you  vulnerable. Those who choose to live in what they believe is personal freedom are actually living in personal slavery. They sell themselves to the evil of sin. They are owned by darkness. The darkness within as well as the darkness without rules over them.  They do not recognize their slavery at first.

Satan masquerades as an angel of light. Sin entices and is pleasing for a little while.  Slowly the doors to the cage are lowered. Slowly the chains wrap around the soul. Almost imperceptibly the pressures rise. The mind is stubborn. It refuses to believe what the senses tell it. It tolerates the bondage because to look at the true state of the soul’s captivity, chains, and impending doom is more than it can handle.

My people who do recognize the death and destruction within and around them are turning to Me in prayers of desperation. They are crying on their beds at night. They are unsure if I Am here or if I even see them. They believe I do not really care. Their guilt and shame prevents them from hoping that I will respond. Their doubt in My love creates black holes of despair deep within their souls. They sink under the weight of the chains around their spirits. Their pillows are covered in tears as they rise to struggle through  another day of horrors. Plastic smiles on plastic faces hide the internal inferno.

Little Pearl, My heart breaks over the bondage of My people. They are like children who  decided to run away from home. They believed life apart from Me would bring them freedom. Now they are trapped. Oh how I love them, Little Pearl. I long for them to know the real Me. They know only the god they created in their own minds … the god they  think I Am. I Am nothing like the god they have imagined. I long to gather them into My  Arms and carry them to safety like a mother hen gathers her chicks under her wings. I  want them to hear My Voice of Love saying, “Come Home! Come to Me! I love you and  will receive you. Turn around and walk toward Me. I will run to you and lift the chains off your spirit. I will cleanse and heal you as I set you free from the bondage of sin and  death.”

Little Pearl, many people are ready to hear My Voice. Many are willing to see the bondage they are in and give up their independence from Me. Many want Me to be different from the god they think I Am. They want to know if I Am good, loving and  kind. They want to know if I will ever forgive them for the innumerable sins they now carry on their backs. Oh, Little Pearl! Speak for Me. Be My prophet to My people who  are like the Hebrew slaves in Egypt. Their cries reach My ears.  My Heart is not hard  toward them. I have compassion and great love for them. I Am holding out My Arms and  beckoning them to come Home to Me.

Be My Voice, Little Pearl. Give Me the use of your mouth and your open pen. Remain  intimately connected to Me so that My Light will shine through you like the lantern of  those who helped runaway slaves find paths through dark country sides to the border of  free lands. Your light’s brightness will depend on the level of intimacy you and I enjoy.  Surrender and submit completely to Me. The more you allow Me to possess you, the more My Light and Voice will pour forth from you. You will then walk and speak for Me in Authority just as Moses and Aaron did. You will speak to the spiritual rulers in high  places and say, “Let My people go.” I will follow your/My Words with signs and  wonders. You will see wonders as I deliver My people from the cruel taskmasters. You  will hear their songs of deliverance. The army of spiritual deceivers will drown in the sea of My Wrath while My people watch in safety from the other side. Little Pearl, tell them I love them. Tell them I love them. Tell them I love them. I will bring those whom I give ears to hear and eyes to see. You then be My Voice. Tell them I love them. Tell them I  will be found by them. Tell them to seek Me and I promise they will find Me when they  search for Me will all their hearts. Tell them I love them, Little Pearl. Tell them My Love for them did not change. Tell them My Love for them will not ever change. Tell them I  have peace and rest waiting for them. Tell them I have love and healing ready for them.  Tell them I have protection and security prepared for them. Tell them I Am their  provision. Speak for Me, Little Pearl. I will bring My broken and starving people to you.  Speak for Me. Listen to My Words within your spirit, where I Am, and speak them out loud to the desperate ears I will bring to you. I will give you boldness.

Do not worry about what you say before the time arrives. I will fill your spirit with My  Words. Just remain in Our Secret, beautiful garden with Me. Let’s continue our party of  love, you and I. Leave everything else to Me. I will take care of the rest. Trust Me.  Abandon yourself to Me. Lose yourself in Me. Do not worry about life outside our  garden. Let it all go. Then you will speak for Me with boldness. I love you, Sweet Pearl.  Let’s go after Pharaoh together. Stand and watch as the miracles flow on behalf of My  people.

• Isaiah 61:1-9 1 “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, 3 To console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.” 4 And they shall rebuild the old ruins, they shall raise up the former desolations, And they shall repair the ruined cities, the desolations of many generations. 5 Strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the foreigner Shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers. 6 But you shall be named the priests of the Lord, they shall call you the servants of our God. You shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory you shall boast. 7 Instead of your shame you shall have double honor, and instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be theirs. 8 “For I, the Lord, love justice; I hate robbery for burnt offering; I will direct their work in truth, and will make with them an everlasting  covenant. 9 Their descendants shall be known among the Gentiles,  and their offspring  among the people. All who see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the posterity whom the Lord has blessed.”

Pearl,

I Am your Protector.  Do not worry about the spirits of darkness.  I can see them clearly.   You will hear more and more stories from people who are harassed by dark spirits.  We are near the end of the age and demonic activity is increasing.  The lies they are whispering into listening ears are increasing.  The media is perpetuating their lies.  Do not worry about them.  They are like smoke.  Smoke smells bad, stings the eyes and chokes the lungs but it can easily be blown away.  Smoke will not burn you.  It can scare you but remember that you can blow it away.

You have My protection and My Authority, Pearl.  My name is powerful.  Demons flee from the very sound of My Name when it is spoken by the mouth of someone who knows and love Me.  Think of My Name as being similar to a simple piece of paper that you call a check.  The check has authority that means a great deal to all the people involved with  that check.  It has meaning to the bank which supports the purpose of the check.  It has meaning to the writer of the check who uses is for a specific purpose.  Both the writer and the receiver of the check understand the purpose of the check and know the power behind it. The check may be a symbol but it is a symbol with power.  The power of a single check can be enormous if the writer desires.  The authority behind the check will support it’s power.  Pearl, My Name is a symbol, just as a paper check is a symbol.  Those who  do not know anything about checks misuse the paper, tear it up, throw it away, or even  use it for illegal gain.  My Name is often misused as well.  Those who understand how to  use the authority of a check can execute powerful business with it.  My Name is like a check.  My Authority is like the bank where unlimited resources are deposited on your  behalf.  You are free to draw from those resources.  I Am the Authority of the bank that will execute the transaction of the resources.

If you use My Name in My Authority, the law of the land will back up it’s power.  Money is man’s resource.  Love, mercy and truth are My resources.  I have the power to deliver  resources already deposited in your bank account.  I have the power of truth deposited in  your account.  My checks do not have to be written on paper.  You can draw from My  Account, which has your name on it, simply by speaking My Name.  When you say My  Name with full trust in the Authority that backs it up, it becomes a command that executes a transaction.  The transaction occurred long ago.  The exchange was My Life for yours.  Therefore, use My Name frequently.  Use it to transact life.

I exchanged My Life for yours, so use it.  My Life is deposited in the bank for you to  draw from.  My Life dispels darkness.  My Life exposes lies.  Evil and darkness have no power over My Life.  Use My Name to disperse the enemy just as wind disperses smoke.  Use My Name with reverence.  Respect My Name as a powerful symbol of Authority.   My Name has great power just like a very wealthy man’s check has great power.  Speak  My Name over every situation you encounter through out your day.  You do not have to  say, “Jesus” very loudly.  Loudness does not equal force. Even just a whisper of My Name releases great power when the whisper is said in faith and reverence.  Say My Name and wait.  Most of the time that is all you will need to do.  If I call you to prayer and fasting then listen for My instructions.

Most of the time just a whisper of My Name over any situation is all you need.  When I say “any” situation, I truly mean, “any” situation no matter how large or small.  Say My Name over your own spirit. Say it over those around you no matter what the relationship.  Just like I did not leave you as an orphan, I also did not leave you powerless.  I gave you  My Name and My Authority to back it up.  Demons tremble at the power of My Name.

Accompany the use of My Name with praise.  Then you will see the enemy retreat.  Pour your love for Me into your praise.  Sing along with worship music and whisper My Name.  Resources from My Account will flow quickly into the situation.  Lying and threatening smoke will blow away.  Blind eyes will slowly be opened.  Hardened hearts will receive truth and conviction.  Wisdom and discernment will come.  Healing for soulwounds will come. You will see various miracles that support the reverence of My Name.

I did not leave you as orphan, Pearl.  You are My Queen.  You have My Authority as well as My Love. You have My constant attention and protection.  I Am in control.  I will back up the reverent use of My Name. I want you to exercise the Authority of My Name which is now yours.  It is there for a purpose.  Use it.  Speak My Name out loud often.  I will bring people to your mind.  Then you speak My Name in faith over them.  That way we will work miracles together.  The more we work together, the more experiences we will share.  The more experiences we share, the more we will bond.  Our relationship will become stronger and more intimate as we work together.  Your faith and trust in Me will grow with each experience as we work together.  Say My Name, Sweet Pearl.  Sing love songs to Me and Say My Name.  Then wait and watch as power flows.  Say My Name even over you like a blanket as well as a protective shield.

I love you My Queen, My Pearl.  “Jesus”

Pearl,

You are My Bride.  You are My spouse and My companion.  I Am your Adam and you  are My Eve.  Eve was made to be a helper for Adam.  It was not good for Adam to be without a soul-mate who was the same as he was. You are My soul-mate, Eve.

I took on human form.  I became as you are.  I know what your burdens are since I bore them.  I can relate to the pressures and sorrows of your life because I felt them.  I  understand the pains of rejection, disappointment and grief.  I know the threat of danger  and the frustrations from injustice.  I know what it is to walk with burdens that break the back emotionally and make the future look bleak.  I participated in the sufferings of your  every day life as well as the suffering of the cross.  Precious Pearl, I walked in that suffering willingly because I love you.

I wanted to not only be your King but also your Priest and Husband.  You see, when a man loves a woman with true love from Papa, he is not content with simply visiting and  enjoying the company of the woman, he also wants to be deeply involved in her life.  He wants to be united with her to the point of feeling what she is feeling, doing what she is doing, seeing things the way she sees them.  He wants to share her burdens, pain,  pressure, grief and sorrow as well as her joy, laughter and triumphs.  As he shares the most intimate parts of her life and being with her their bonds of unity become tighter.  As she does the same for him they begin to completely know and understand each other.   They then experience each other to the fullest extent.  They are no longer two separate entities going through life alone.

Their common burden-bearing serves to unite them with a spiritual glue.  They become so wrapped up in each other that they become very much alike.  They think alike and see life with the same perspective.  They anticipate each other’s reactions to events so well that they become trustworthy representatives for each other.  If one is away on business,  the spouse can freely make decisions and execute business with full authority because she has become an extension of her husband.  She is in such complete unity with him that she represents him with all authority during his absence.  They own everything together.   They share responsibilities and carry each other’s burdens.  Pearl,  this is marriage the way Papa intended.

Pearl, this is the kind of marriage I invite you to have with Me.  Will you be My soulmate, Pearl? Will you bear the burdens of My soul along with Me? Will you experience My sorrows with Me? Will you allow what breaks My heart to break yours as well? Will you walk My walk of pain right beside Me?  I will not let My burdens overwhelm you.   But, My Pearl, I want you to know Me.  I want you to experience Me.  I want you to see what I see and do what I do.  I want Us to drink from the same cup.  Then We will experience the permanent bonds of unity in the most intimate way.  The only way this can happen, Sweet Pearl, is for Us both to share in each others’ sufferings.  When We share each others’ burdens, sorrows and pain then we become bonded with a spiritual glue that cannot be removed.  We experience each other to the point that We become just like One.   Others won’t be able to tell Us apart.  We will become perfect representatives for each  other.  I will know you and you will know Me to the point that we can easily substitute ourselves with each other – you can be My representative and I can by yours.  Pearl, you  can then represent Me to those who need to see Me and I can represent you to Papa.  You  can speak and conduct business as if you were Me and I can speak on your behalf to  Papa. While We represent each other on each other’s behalf  We will still remain present with each other. Remember that I Am more than an earthly Man.  I am everywhere.  I can represent you and speak to Papa on your behalf and remain with you, joined to you, at the same time!  We will always be together as we share in each other’s burdens and  sufferings.

Our Love together will be bittersweet, My Pearl, if you drink from the same cup that I  drink from. I already drink from the cup of your life.  I already bear your burdens right along with you. I already walk your road of pain right with you.  I already understand and know you thoroughly. Now I want you to know Me thoroughly. You cannot thoroughly  know Me without experiencing what I experience.  Are you willing to do this Precious Pearl? This experience is not for the double-minded.  A true bride does not change her  mind when life gets rough.  A true bride is so in love with her groom that she follows him wherever He goes even if it is through the valley of the shadow of death.  A true bride will not look back at her former life and wish to have it once again when she tastes the sorrows of her Husband.  A true bride becomes the companion and helper for her  Husband in both His joys and His sorrows.

Will you be that bride for Me, Sweet Pearl? Will you seek to know Me to the point of  sharing the cup that I drink from?  Come with Me, Pearl.  Let’s travel down this road  together.  Be My wife and companion in all My sufferings.  As We do this together our  sufferings will also be sweet. Our love will blossom like the flowers after the rain.  We will have One mind and One heart with One purpose.  Our One purpose will be to do Papa’s will and glorify Him.  Our common goal will bond us with spiritual glue and create a unity in Us that will make it difficult for others to tell Us apart.  I do not take this proposal lightly, Pearl.  I do not want you to take it lightly either.  This proposal is very  serious and has eternal significance.  Will you be a true bride to Me? Will you drink from My cup?  I love you, Dearest Pearl.

One flesh with Jesus Sharing in His sufferings

My Pearl,

I Am here to guide you.  Do nothing on your own.  You must force yourself to remember Me and seek My help each day.  Just like a wife is to be her husband’s helper, I Am here to be your Helper.  Papa knew you would need My help in order to do all that He asked. He purposely asks you to do the impossible. If you could be successful in everything He asked you to do using your own strength and gifts then pride would conquer you.  You  are purposely set for failure without My help, My Pearl.

Only Papa can handle glory.  He will never allow you to receive glory because glory is too dangerous for you.  Therefore, expect to fail at everything in which you do not include Me.  When Jesus took your sin on Himself, the veil between the people and  Papa’s Presence was ripped.  Jesus then ascended into Heaven.  Now that the barrier of  sin has been removed, I have been released to fill those whose sins have been forgiven.   My Pearl, I can fill clean hearts.  Hearts that were contaminated by sin could not ever be My home.  I can only abide in purity and holiness.  When Jesus’ mission was accomplished, I wasted no time in coming to earth and filling the spirits of the original disciples.  Then, as people trusted in Jesus and submitted to Papa, I rushed to fill them.  I  Am always eager to fill the spirits that have been cleansed from sin by Jesus’ blood.

You see, My Pearl, it is My job to build Jesus’ church – to gather His people and lead  them into the ministry of truth.  It is My job to teach you and prepare you to be the perfect Bride for Jesus.  How can you be His companion and helper on your own? You do not even know where to begin.  I Am the One who teaches and prepares you for more intimacy with your Bridegroom.  I Am the One who gives you the ability to help Him in His work.  I Am the One who enables you to hear His Voice and understand His will.

Jesus depends on Me to create a new beauty in you.  It is impossible for you to have a quiet and gentle spirit during stressful times but a quiet and gentle spirit is very attractive to your Bridegroom.  So rely on My Help, My Pearl.  I know what pleases your Husband. Therefore I know how to teach and prepare you.  You will receive, many duties that as Jesus’ wife, you are to carry out for Him.  Pearl, you won’t be able to carry out these duties without Me.  You won’t be able to endure suffering and have patience without Me.  How can you recognize sin in your attitude without Me? You will need great Wisdom in order to be Jesus’ Queen and meet your responsibilities.  The more wisdom you receive from Me, the more help you can be to your Husband.

Pearl, you have been in the habit of using your own logic and assessment of circumstances in order to make decisions.  Remember that man looks only on the outside while God looks at the heart.  Remember that you do not see through the glass clearly.   Therefore, much is hidden from your understanding.  If so much is hidden from your eyes then how can you live independently from Me?  How can you help your Husband?  How can you love and serve others? The simple answer is you cannot.  You can do nothing  apart from Me and My help.  Therefore, get in the habit of remembering Me.  Ask Me constantly through out each day for Wisdom and guidance.  Be still and wait for My  leading.  If you remain calm, you can detect My Voice and stirring within you.  I Am like the wind, My Pearl.  I can lead you by a sensation that is like a very soft and light movement of clean air within your spirit.  Stop and wait to feel My gentle leading  constantly.  Going through trials and suffering with Me is quite different from going  through trials without Me.  It is as if a man is compelled to walk across a desert.  He can  either accept the camel and supplies that are provided for the journey by his father or he can claim that he has no need of supplies.  If he attempts to cross the desert without the gifts from His father then he may die.  He certainly won’t be a blessing to anyone else on  the journey.

So My Pearl, turn your attention to Me.  Seek My leading constantly.  If you truly seek  Me, you will find Me.  I will reveal My Presence to you.  I will teach you how to sense and hear Me if you just ask.  Ask Me about anything.  Then wait.  I will answer you.  I  want to make you the most perfect helper for Jesus.  Therefore ask Me for help and  wisdom.  Let Me be your guide  I love to lead you, open your eyes to new revelation,  expose the enemy, and show you great and mighty things.  Seek after Me. Accept My  gifts and practice using them for the rest of your journey.  I love you My Pearl.

Your Mind Is like a Big, Untrained Labrador Retriever.

Pearl

Give Me your mind.  Give all your thoughts to Me. Just as you want a place to put your belongings and live out of – a place you can call home – you also need a place to keep  your mind. Your mind needs a home. It need a place to rest, work, and focus.

Your mind is like a big, untrained Labrador retriever.  A six month old lab who has been  free to roam with its siblings in the country since birth knows only how to roam. It has no discipline. It does not know that it needs discipline. It believes that everything it sees and smells and hears is good for exploring, playing, with or eating. This is a dangerous state for a puppy. It is also a dangerous state for your mind. There are enemies all around who would trap your mind using interesting bait. A mind that is not careful and  on alert to the dangerous environment is a mind that will become ensnared.

Give Me your mind, Pearl. Keep it focused on Me. Keep it straining to hear My Voice and follow My leading at all times. Saturate your mind with My Word. Soak your mind with music that keeps you focused on My love. Like a Labrador puppy, your mind will rebel at first. It will sense a loss of freedom to roam.The roaming of the mind must be stopped.  Like training the puppy to stay in the yard, keep your mind in My captivity.

Do not be discouraged when you attempt to train your mind to remain with Me. Just like training the six-month-old labrador puppy, repetition is necessary. You were given  freedom of choice by Papa. Use it. Use your will, which is powerful, to keep your spirit and your mind in the awareness of My Presence. At first, taking your thoughts captive and forcing them to remain on Me will feel like you are chasing down that puppy. Do not give up. Ask Holy Spirit to help you. The more your thoughts and focus remain on me,  the more sweet fellowship We will have. The more your spirit looks for My Presence within you rather than focusing on life outside, the more your spirit will experience Oneness with Me. Just like you have to call that puppy back home time and again, call your mind back to Our Home.

I love it when you are completely at Home with Me. I love Our sweet unity. Do not let your mind roam away from Our conversations and fellowship. Bring our conversation  and togetherness into every task you must carry out during your day. You will soon learn  how We can do the most complicated of tasks and communicate with the outside world  together. I will not hinder your ability to focus on solving a problem or listening to  someone speak. Just the opposite is true. I will open your ears and eyes. I will help you  to see truth. You will accomplish Papa’s will each day when you train your mind to remain with Me. A well-trained labrador retriever is a wonderful companion and brings help to a family.  The puppy learns to submit to the captivity but finds new freedom of fellowship, love, affection, and usefulness. The puppy becomes wise to potential dangers and rejoices in its home.

Pearl, training your mind to remain with Me is so difficult that it takes both the determination of your will and Holy Spirits’s help. Ask Holy Spirit continually for help.   Ask and you will receive. Exercise the power of your will over your mind. Choose to train your mind to remain at Our Home with Me. Our fellowship will be so sweet. I will be your Reward. The walls of our Home will be painted with the beautiful color of true freedom. Freedom that comes with remaining captive to Me. I love you Pearl!

Pearl,

Turn to Matthew 3:1-11.  Pearl, will you share My cup with Me? Will you be baptized with the same water I was baptized with? As My wife, We are to share everything.  Husbands and wives who follow Papa share everything.  They share every part of their  lives.  Nothing is withheld from each other.  They do this because they trust in each others’ love. Do you trust My love for you Pearl?  If so, will you share My Life with  Me?  Every facet of My Life? Will you drink from the same cup and receive the same baptism?

When I was baptized in the river, John performed the ceremony and people watched as the symbols were applied. What they did not know was the decision I had made and the carrying out of the decision that the symbols represented.  The others had come to seek  forgiveness of their sin.  Baptism is indeed a symbol of forgiveness but that is not all.  It is indeed a symbol of rebirth but that is not all.  It is also a symbol of death.  It is the death of self.  This does not mean only the turning away from a life of sin.  This also  means accepting a new life of daily death and sacrifice.

You see, Pearl, immediately after I accepted Papa’s plan and pledged to fulfill it, Holy  Spirit led Me to begin the process. I went not to palaces or even nice, comfortable places but into the harshest physical environment. I went into the wilderness. Sin takes Papa’s creation and environment and turns it into harsh, unkind, torturous wilderness. I not only submitted to the ceremony of baptism into Papa’s will-I began the actual journey or  process. In the wilderness is where I was baptized beyond ceremony. In the wilderness of sin and pain is where I began to lay down My Life.  During the forty days I fasted in obedience to Papa’s instructions. This was to demonstrate that My will was to be completely abandoned and His will was to reign in Me. I laid down My desire for relief from the physical torture I endured for those forty days.

Some may think that things were easier for Me because of My Divinity . . . No. They were more difficult. The sun beat Me. The rocks and thorns tore at Me. There was no shade. I had no water or food. I had no like-minded companion to encourage Me. All the physical dangers were there. I also had the knowledge of the suffering in the world on My Mind and in My Heart. What made this trial even more difficult is that as My body began to dry up, the dizziness, nausea, pain, discouragement that sets in, loneliness, burning skin, bleeding feet, splitting tongue, sore throat – for days and days – even when every cell in My body cried for relief and the sorrows of My heart caused it to swell to the point of bursting, I had on me more torture. That torture was temptation. My  temptation began even before Satan spoke.  My temptation was from My Own flesh. My  flesh cried out for relief.  My flesh knew that I could put a stop to the agony in less than a minute.  I could say a word and escape the pain forever.

You see, Pearl, I was born a man. Therefore Papa gave free will to Me just like He gave the freedom to choose to you. I had the opportunity to say, “No more” to Papa at any  time. On day 14 or day 29 I could have ended the pain and torture. But Pearl, I did not want to stop Papa’s plan. I trust Him. I trust Him so much that I gave My will over to Him. I said to Him, “Yes. I will go where you lead Me. I will remain in the harsh  wilderness of sin as long as You say. I will give My will to you and allow My flesh to undergo the pain. I will conquer My flesh’s desire to escape and then watch it die.”

This is the baptism of death as well as Life.This is the baptism I was baptized with. I  remained in the wilderness even though I could have left it at any time. No chains held  Me there. My power was not taken from Me. I had resources. Choosing not to use those resources but instead completely submit to Papa was the beginning of the death of My flesh. This as the only way all the righteous requirements of the law could be fulfilled.

Anyone can be happy and obedient when they are comfortable, rewarded constantly, have their expectations met and everything explained to their satisfaction. Those circumstances do not require the death of the flesh and the submission of the will. As I  submitted to Holy Spirit leading Me to that terrible place, My ability to minister to those hurting and trapped in sin began. Each day that I remained in the place Papa put Me,  bowing to His will and blindly following Him, more power was released. My ability to  minister as the Priest of the people grew.

Pearl, will you drink from My cup and be baptized with more than the outward symbol? Will you remain where I placed you, in that harsh environment, and allow your flesh to die daily? Will you submit to Papa’s will with Me, even in the face of the unknown? Will you not seek to escape early and search for relief? Will you die to your flesh to the point of ministering to those whose sin created the harsh environments?  Pearl, you won’t be alone because I will be with You. We will do this together. We will share more and more trials together. These trials will be spiritual glue that creates a bond between Us that can not be broken. Our intimacy will increase daily, right along with Our memories of trials endured together.  The more We sacrifice and die together, the more Our love will grow and overflow on to those who are also in the wilderness. Before long, We will turn that harsh and painful environments into a peaceful garden.  It will become a place of  nourishment – like an oasis in the desert.

You will be amazed at the number of travelers who are suffering that will find relief in  Our oasis.  Even those whose sins created the wilderness will seek Our oasis and be refreshed.  Pearl, will you be baptized with Me? Will you be led by Me into the wilderness and remain there with Me? Will you resist your desire to escape and submit your will to Mine? As you do, power will be released. Refreshing waters from an oasis will flow.  New life will grow. Our bonds of intimacy will be stronger than any force on  earth. Our shared experiences will become Our treasured memories.  We will look into each other’s eyes and a thousand memories will flash in a sea of love.

No one will ever be able to take that from us.  No one else will understand or share Our most intimate bond of love that comes from Our own experiences in the wilderness. Be My wife, My  Pearl, My Queen, and share everything with Me. I love you.

Pearl,

Have I ever failed you or let you down?  Have you ever been disappointed with Me? Humans may fail you – they will fail you- but I will never fail you. In your impatience you may think I have failed you but just wait a little longer.  Tomorrow is just up ahead.   Be still and know that I Am God. Calm and quiet your soul.  Fretting never did anyone any good.  Fretting only causes harm.  Believing I Am too late and have failed you is a scare tactic and goal of the enemy. Believing that things will remain unchanged is a lie.  I  am always working.  I never fail to work on your behalf. I do see.  I do know.  I do hear.   I Am not a god made of wood or stone that is without feelings.  I Am not far away.  I Am not uncaring. Believe Me, I care.  I care more than you can possibly know.  I care about everything that concerns you.

You must not give human attributes to Me. You must not project your experiences with  human failures on to Me.  You must not base My working on your behalf upon your own  impatience.  My timing is perfect.  You may be a little uncomfortable in your current circumstances but We are fighting a war!  Battle is not comfortable.  What soldier is comfortable in his circumstances? You are in the Wilderness of Sin.  Broken people are all around you doing things as a result of their brokenness.  Your body suffers assault from being on the battle field. Your mind is influenced by the noise generated by the enemy. I know and understand your heartbreak.  I know pain and disappointment.  But Pearl, you do not need to add confusion to your list of woes. Do not be confused about Me.

I Am yours and you belong to Me. I Am here and I Am faithful.  I know full well what is happening.  Like the best Husband, everything that touches you touches Me.  I have not nor will I ever abandon you. I am there in the midst of your circumstances.  I Am beside you.  Even more, I Am within you.  I feel what you feel.  I see what you see.  I Am your  companion in the midst of suffering.  What breaks your heart also breaks Mine.

Pearl,  I will not fail you.  Be calm. Wait. Return to Our intimate, cozy state of closeness even in the midst of these circumstances.  Be still deep within your spirit.  I know how difficult that is.  Therefore, just choose to be still as an act of your will.  With all your will ask Holy Spirit to give you that undeniable peace and stillness.  Now close your eyes and  relax your spirit into My Arms.  As you relax, I will calm and reassure you.

Give tomorrow to Me, Pearl.  I know the situation and what to do.  I always know what to do.  Remember that you are blind to much of what is happening.  Papa and I am at work.  We use what looks like the most discouraging of situations as part of Our Master Plan.   War is terrible and they are devastating but I turn everything into a blessing for you,  Sweet Pearl.  Loneliness and the aching of your heart are a by product of the war you live in.  Disappointment and pain always occur during war.  Do not get swallowed up in a sea of disappointment, Sweet Pearl.  I have not failed you.  I will take the adversity and use it in the most beautiful way.

Remember Our past.  Remember the times I came to you when things were rough!   Remember all the answers I have provided in our history together.  Look at how I took  care of you even when you did not know Me.  I Am not an unfaithful Husband.  I will always come to you and be closer than your breath.  I will hold you through the pain  today and be in every tomorrow. Waiting is difficult even in pain – free circumstances.   Pearl, are you willing to wait even in these current conditions?

The wilderness is harsh.  Will you wait for Me even in the wilderness? Will you remain  calm and endure the wilderness environment for the sake of Papa’s Great Plan that is being carried out?  Do not let the harshness of the wilderness cause you to forget that Papa has a wonderful Plan.

Joseph had to remind himself that there was much going on outside the walls of prison.   He knew that Papa had a Great Plan. His imprisonment was not his final situation. Joseph had to calm his fears and wait with patience each day. He could not let his mind  dwell on the events of the past that led to prison. He meditated on Papa’s great love for  him. He rehearsed the facts of Papa’s faithfulness and his own limited vision.

Pearl, will you wait for Me? I Am both here in you now and coming to you as your  Knight in Shining Armor riding on a great white horse. I Am your hero. I Am your  rescuer and the One who conquers. You may think I Am delaying but do not forget that there is a Great Plan beyond what you see. Will you remain in the harsh wilderness with  Me a little longer? Hold My Hand. I Am here in the wilderness with you. I Am waiting  and enduring the harshness right with you. We are doing this together. I Am working.   Be calm and put your head on My shoulder. Relax and I will give your spirit rest while we wait and endure together. The process of going through the wilderness may seem to  be taking forever but it does come to an end. Wait, Sweet Pearl. Wait a little longer.   This time of endurance will eventually become a sweet memory of a trial you and I  endured together. Wait Pearl. Wait for Me. I Am your faithful Husband.

Little Pearl,

Wait on Me. Wait until you hear Me teaching you. I Am your Father and I will teach  you. A child is born knowing nothing. He must learn even the most simple acts just to  survive. There is no more humble state than to be without the knowledge of the most basic requirements for life. Little Pearl, You have learned many things from many people in the course of your life.  You have received training from your parents, schools,  experiences, and your society.  Now I want you to empty yourself of that knowledge and  training. I want you as My servant in My kingdom.

You are My daughter and therefore you are a part of My family and My culture. My  society does not operate the same way. My agenda is different from that of the world.As My child, you have a new and different identity and position. Therefore you are to begin  your life all over again. You are to become like a little child again. Empty yourself from all that you learned from the world. Become as one who realizes that they know nothing  and need help and teaching even to survive.

Small children are curious about everything. Little Pearl, become eager to learn from Me. Become eager to un-learn what you were previously taught so that you can learn truth from Me. Small children know that there are places which they cannot reach or see over. They know that those who have come before them have the advantage of growth and training. The small child is humbled by his lack of height and knowledge. Little Pearl, realize your small size and lack of knowledge. Realize your position of complete dependency on Me. A small child does not insist that he can see everything that is up on the kitchen counter. That thought never enters his mind because he is fully award of the fact that he cannot see what is above his line of vision.  Little Pearl, embrace your  humble state. Embrace your lack of knowledge and vision. Accept your position and do  not assume that you are fully grown with the height to see everything.

Come to Me for everything. Come to Me and I will teach you. I will lift you up and reveal what you could not see before. Only the foolish walk away and declare that they are fully grown and do not need My help. Only the foolish believe they can see everything that exists. They deceive themselves. Their pride will cause them to make mistakes and get hurt. Their pride will prevent Me from teaching them.  Their pride will cause them to exalt themselves in front of others and lead them in the wrong direction.

But Little Pearl, as long as you are like a small child who knows his true state of  limitation and dependency then I can teach you. As long as you are like a small child who allows Me to maneuver you, guide you, teach you, and hold your hand then I can use you. A father can use and teach a child who relaxes and allows the father to guide his hand through the task. When the task is complete the father and the child rejoice, not only in the completed task but also in the bond that was created between them during the experience. The trust and love between them grew during their cooperative effort. A prideful and rebellious person who believe they already know all they need to know will never share experiences like this with Me, Little Pearl. I will not be able to use this type of person. I cannot create bonds of trust with the person who refuses to embrace his dependence on Me. Little Pearl, I love to teach you.

Be curious about everything from the perspective of My Kingdom. Little Pearl, I love to lift you up and hold you high so you can see what was above your head. I love to take your little hand in Mine and guide it through tasks. I love to share the joy of a job well done with you. I love to see the surprised look on your face and hear you proclaim, “It worked!” When you are like a little child in your heart and mind then there is nothing in My Kingdom you cannot do and learn. There is no task we cannot accomplish together.

Oh the joy we will have as our bonds of trust and love grow with each experience! We will make memories that you can share with others. Now come Little Pearl. Read Matthew 18:1-4.  Become a little child once again. Enjoy the process as I teach you and  lift you up into My Arms. I love you, Little Pearl.

• Matthew 18:1-4 At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Little Pearl,

Spend more and more time with Me. Remain in your inner core with Me. Your desire is for Me. Your desire is for My will. Yet, you live in the world and have the external life demanding your thoughts and attention. Trials are constantly coming. Problems and  unanswered questions are everywhere. You want to be continually in My Presence,  hearing My voice and abiding in Me.  You want fellowship with Me.  You want intimacy  with Me.

Little Pearl, I love you and desire intimate fellowship with you. To have you constantly  abiding with Me is My greatest desire. That is the reason I created you. That is your  purpose. Now you want to know how you can do this. How can you be constantly in the deepest fellowship with Me every day no matter what is going on outside? How can We be in the bonds of union in the midst of pressures and voices all around you? The answer is what many have sought throughout history. The answer is hidden from most.  It is not hidden because I do not want it to be known – no, it is hidden because it is not wanted by the seeker. Many are called to be Mine and enter into the inner chamber with Me. Few are chosen to enter into deep fellowship with Me because they do not like the answer to their question of, ‘how?’

“How do I have union with God? How do I remain connected to Him and abide in Him at all times? How do I have the intimacy with Him that I desire?” Little Pearl, the fulfillment of all your desire for Me is in one simple act of your will: Submit.  Submission . . . complete surrender of your will, plans, desires, thoughts, attitudes, history, memories, hopes wealth, even the air that you breathe . . . or not . . . submission in totality to Me is the secret that is hidden from the majority of the world. Complete submission to Me will gain you access to Me. Submission will bring you past My throne and into My very Heart.

Submission is much more than acts of obedience and conforming to a new lifestyle.  Submission is more than surrendering your will in all things to Me.Those are all a part of the submission that is required but there is still more. Total submission requires deeper and deeper levels of death. The more self dies, the more submission to Me you experience.

Self has many rings or layers. The very inner core of planet Earth is surrounded by layers of concentric rings. Each ring or layer is made of different substances with different consistency – mass, hardness and volume or thickness. The outer layer is obvious to all eyes. Submission of the outer layer of your soul is obvious to yourself and others. It involves your lifestyle. In order to have total intimacy and union with Me, your inner core must be drilled down to and each layer peeled away so then it is free to abide in Me. Once the outer crust is removed from the earth there is another layer, then another and another. Each layer must give way to the removal process. Those who drill or mine for the treasures of the earth will understand the difficulty of removing some of the layers. Some are not very thick and therefore submit to the removal process quickly.  Some layers are unstable and when one part is removed more of the same rushes in to fill it again. Some layers around the earth’s core have a hardness that seems to defy all attempts to remove it. Nevertheless, unless each layer submits to removal, the inner core will never be reached.

Little Pearl, submission is the removal process required to reach your inner core. Only your inner core can experience intimacy and fellowship with Me. The outer layers are barriers to Our most wonderful Union. But hidden deep within the inner core of the earth is a substance that is pure and untouched by man or anything else. It is clean and set apart from every created thing. It is in the womb of the planet. A baby in it’s mother’s womb is also wrapped in layers. It is pure and untouched by the outside world.

Little Pearl, My Spirit is hidden deep inside your inner core. It is covered by many layers of different types of self. Like the layers of the earth, self – layers have different levels and characteristics. Some are obvious and others are hidden underneath. Some layers are easy to expose and remove and others are hardened. Submission to the removal process is what will gain more and more fellowship with Me. Allow Me to remove the layers, one by one, until there is nothing left but your inner core. Each event in your life, day-by-day, minute-by-minute, thought-by-thought is a part of removing the outer layers.

Invite Me to remove them. Work with Me. Do not resist. Do not withhold any layer from My removal. Let go of every layer – not just the outermost layers. See everything that is going on within and without you as part of My removal process. Allow Me to remove every single layer. The more you trust Me the more you will submit to the layers being removed. Desire Me and Our Union, Little Pearl, but that is not all. Desire for My will only gets Us to a certain level of intimacy. There is more required. Many, many  people desire Me and desire to fellowship with Me. Few are those who will ever obtain  intimacy with Me because that requires much more than desire.

Intimacy with Me requires complete submission to the point of allowing Me to remove every single layer of your self until I reach the inner core. All other parts of you are to die the death of submission. The more willing you are to submit during the removal process the quicker we will reach new depths of intimacy and fellowship. The process of  removal of some of the layers can be quite painful . . . but Little Pearl,  I Am your joy and your reward. Each layer that is taken away will bring Us closer and give Us more joyous fellowship.

So you see, Little Pearl, submission is the secret to gaining intimacy with Me. It is the secret that so many have searched for throughout the ages. Many desire Me but few will ever truly find Me unless they discover the secret – submission. Submit to My will in all things. Submit to My Hand removing all the layers of your self until I reach that pure inner core. Stripping away your layers is My job, Little Pearl. Your job is to submit.   Release each layer that is being removed. We do this together. It is Our act of love. I  love you Little Pearl. Trust Me.

The Hurting and the Wounded

Pearl,

My heart breaks continuously. I hear the cries and see the tears of My Own, My remnant, My Pearls, My Sheep. Pearl, My people are in pain. They hurt because they are not intimate with Me. They do not have intimacy with Me because they do not know it is possible.

So many keep asking Papa, “Is this all there is? Is there nothing more? What is this life? If this is all there is then what is the point?” Pearl. My heart breaks and I Am longing for these, My remnant, who are seeking Me but have almost given up. They look for Me where they think I should be found but then they realize, after a period of time in that place, that I Am not there. Most places that Papa meant to be an oasis in the wilderness remain void of My Living Water.

Pearl, are you willing to have your own heart broken over the pain of the suffering Pearls? Will you remain at My side while I hear their cries and look on their pain? Will you allow their heartbreak to become your pain as well? I hear them as they suffer injustice, abandonment, hostility, and fear.

Pearl, I Am here for them but they do not know it. I love them but they have become so wounded that they no longer believe it. They are like soldiers who were trapped in a surprise attack. They were surrounded on all sides and overwhelmed. There should have been reinforcements who were to come to their aid but the reinforcements allowed the spirit of complacency to settle within them. When the alarm sounded and the call to action went forth they did not jump up and obey. Therefore My remnant suffered near fatal ambush with no relief, no hope, no supplies, no rest, and no way to escape.

Pearl, I Am making a way for them to escape. My love and deliverance will reach them despite the complacency of those who were supposed to be on active duty. Pearl, many  have been so wounded that they cannot even lift their heads enough to drink in My love for them. They need a kind and compassionate hand to be placed behind and underneath their head. They need someone to lift up their head so they can take in My healing love.

Pearl, will you lift their head? Will you go to them, mindless of the dirt, smell and ugliness of their wounds? Will you get your hands soiled by the grime that is in the wilderness? Will you overlook the pain inflicted upon your own body as you kneel beside them to lift their head so they can drink of Me? Pearl, some of the wounded have been so harassed and frightened that they are nearly out of their minds. Will you be patient with them? Some will not recognize that you are My wife that I sent you to hold them up. They will mistake you for the enemy. Will you patiently wait until they have calmed down enough to hear your words of reassurance? Pearl, there are others who are so frightened that they continuously look to escape. Their desire to escape is all they know.  Pearl, will you hold them in your arms until panic subsides? Then lift their heads so they can drink of My Living Water.

Pearl, I Am here and ready to pour out My love, My Living Water, on these precious ones who have been seriously wounded. My heart aches and longs to pour My love into them. The places of oasis water are all dried up. There is no Living Water of My Love in the places that are supposed to be full to overflowing with My Love. Instead of My Living  Water, these places have become wells filled with superficiality, emptiness, complacency, greed, condemnation, disdain, and artificial water.  My wounded Pearls who sought My  Living Water from these dry springs came away not only disappointed but twice wounded.

Pearl, will you lift their heads so I can pour My love into them? Only My love can heal and restore them. Only My Voice can return sanity to their minds. Only My embrace of  love can calm their fears. Bring them to Me, Pearl. Bring them into My Presence. While you hold them, tell them how I healed you. Give them hope by telling them how I gave you My love to drink. Love them right along with Me, Pearl. Love their inner core which remains intact, no matter how damaged they are. My image and Spirit are alive in their inner core. Look past the wounds and out-of-mind behavior and see their inner core. Speak My love to that core of their being. Speak the words of love and life that I will give you to speak. Allow Me to take the lid off the fountain of life I placed within you.  Let that fountain spring up and overflow onto them.

Do not be repulsed by their dirt and odor. Do not let their language – foul language – of  pain and despair bother you. Love overlooks these things and reaches the inner core of  the wounded. Pearl, I hear their cries. Will you go to them and hold their heads for Me? You won’t go alone. I will be right there with you. I will not only pour My love into them but while you are lifting their heads I will pour even more of My love into you. As you refresh others, you will also be refreshed.

Pearl, you are My wife. That means you are My beloved helpmeet. We work together.  We never work independently of each other. Papa’s plan was for Us to be united and  remain connected at all times. That means we constantly work together. Pearl, you lift up the heads of My fainting sheep while I pour My Living Water in them. Together We will restore My jewels, My remnant. Together we will answer their cries and heal their wounds. Together we will bring them into My Presence where they will be completely restored. Pearl, are you willing to fulfill the role of helpmeet for Me? Will you allow your own heart to break at the sound of their pain? I will direct you to them, one-by-one.  Come and get ready, Pearl. We work in love together. I love you Pearl.

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 you were to receive them. Wound-healing therapy, Pearl. This is real wound-healing.

I love you I know how to heal you, teach you and increase Our intimacy. Use your will, Pearl, to give Me the freedom to do this. Do not worry about the future. Just give Me that freedom of the ocean tides in your life.  We will not only have more intimacy but We will also have wonderful adventures together, My Pearl, My Bride! I love you.

• Phil 3:7-14 But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; that I  may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to  the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.  Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do,  forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
• Philippians 4:11-13 Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound.  Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
• 1 Timothy 6:6 Now godliness with contentment is great gain.

Pearl,

Genesis 2:24-25 says, “therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.”

Pearl, you and I are now married. I Am your Husband and you are My Bride and wife. You left your life and gave up your people to belong exclusively to Me. I Am in you. Your desire is for Me. I Am in you. Your desire is for Me. Now Pearl, I want you in a new way.  I do not simply want Us to share your life together. I want to have you in Me. Pearl, I Am in you . . . will you now come within Me. Will you allow yourself to be swallowed, you within Me?  In order for this to happen, Pearl, you must be stripped. You see, My Love, I Am Holy. Nothing unholy can come near Me. I want you My Love. I not only want to be in you but now I want you to be within Me.

My Pearl, will you allow Me to strip you down so that you can come into Me?  It won’t be an easy process. I will strip you of your flesh-self until there is nothing but pure spirit left.  All your unholy qualities must be taken off and thrown into the “fire.” You cannot even have the smell of the garments of your flesh.  In order to do this Pearl, you will have to look down at your flesh-clothes. You will have to see your self as it is before it can be removed. Pearl, are you willing for Me to show you your self? When you look at the reality of self, then you can choose to allow Me to remove it from you. This will be a layer-by-layer process. Each layer will be painful to look at but when you do and offer it to Me I will remove it. Slowly, My Love, your layers will be removed and put to death. Oh Pearl, do not be discouraged. One cannot remove a splinter without shining a bright light on the area and then carefully removing it. It does the body no good to pretend the splinter does not exist.

Pearl, I know you are ashamed of the ugly smell and appearance of your flesh. I know you do not want Me to see it. I know you want Me to desire you and think you are beautiful. Don’t be discouraged, My Love. I Am making you not only beautiful but also perfect; without spot or wrinkle. If you will submit to the exposure of the ugly garments of your self, I will carefully take them off forever. Once I remove the last of the garments of your flesh, your pure, lean, and beautiful spirit will be exposed.

Your spirit will be exposed to Me just like a new brides’ beauty is exposed to her bridegroom on their  wedding night. I will be ravished by your pure beauty just as the bridegroom is ravished by the sight of his naked bride. You will stand before Me, My Love and not be ashamed at all. You will stand before Me in the pure holiness of your naked spirit and feel nothing but peace and joy as I feast my eyes upon your beauty. You won’t be self-conscious because self will have been stripped away and burned. You won’t have any spots or wrinkles to mar your beauty. You will come into My Arms in perfect confidence and joy Pearl, the viewing of yourself and then stripping it away is a painful process but Oh My  Love, how worth it that process is!  Trust Me to continue to love you as I expose each layer of the clothing of self.

Trust Me to burn those layers when you give them to Me. Trust Me to remove the spots and wrinkles. I will make you naked, unashamed and absolutely beautiful, My Love, My Pearl, My Bride!

Little Pearl,

Be holy, even as I Am holy. My Girl, I do not ask you to do something without being  right there, doing it in you, to you and through you. Indeed, you cannot do anything  without Me. You cannot even breathe on your own . . . though you breathe constantly and therefore you forget that I Am the One who enables you to breathe. Just as I enable you to breathe, I enable you to be holy.

Yes sin crouches at the door of your heart. It clings to you. Even sin that you fail to  recognize clings to you. Ask Me to continue opening your eyes to the sin which has taken hold of you like barnacles on the posts of a dock on the seashore. The posts of the dock can still function with the barnacles but they are unsightly and can cause damage to  those who brush up against them.

My Little Pearl, I know your heart. I know what clings to it. I also know that you are helpless to remove it. I call you to be holy so you can conform to My image. I Am aware of the impossibility this is for you. Therefore,  My Little Pearl, do not grieve in  despair as I reveal the stains of sin clinging to you. I Am fully able to not only forgive but also remove the stain. I not only give you mercy but I also deliver you. I want you to see the stains and then come to Me in humility realizing that you cannot remove them yourself.  Your pride, judgmentalism, and self-love can only be removed by My Hand.

Do not despair, Little Pearl. I Am not angry with you. I Am here to help you, cleanse you, fix you. You are like the little girl who loves her daddy. Daddy calls her his little princess. She giggles in delight as she revels in his love. She twirls around in the fancy  dress he gave her. She alternated between sitting on his lap and dancing with joy around  the yard. As she dances, she slips and falls. She is covered in dirt and the dress is torn. Brokenhearted, she looks at the stains and tears in her fancy dress. She realizes that she is not what she thought. She looks up at her daddy and says, “Daddy, I am not your pretty princess! Oh Daddy, I am dirty now.” She grieves, believing she has fallen from the position of pretty princess. The father, full of love, understanding, and compassion,  rushes to her. He gently picks her up and says, “Yes, my love. You are still My pretty  princess.” He then removes the stained and torn dress, washes her hands and knees, and  gives her a new, beautiful dress.

My Little Pearl, you are My pretty princess. I know your stains. Look at them as I reveal them to you. I know the sinful attitudes that block genuine love from flowing through  you to those who have wronged you. I will remove your stain. I will open the clogged  channels of your heart. I will deliver you from pride judgmentalism and self-love. Just wait and depend on Me. You are right when you cry out, “Help Me, Papa!  I cannot make these sins die!” Little Pearl, only I can deliver you. If you could deliver yourself then your pride would not die. Relax. Wait on Me. The process of deliverance began with your willingness to look at the sin. It continued when you grieved and cried out to Me for help. Now I will finish the process. But, Little Pearl, there are many layers. You are also still in the world. Just like the sea dock posts are still gathering barnacles because they remain in the sea, you are still walking on earth with the influences of the prince of this world and your flesh. Therefore, Little Pearl, get used to this process. Recognize the pain of sin exposure as a part of My love for you. Allow Me to work My perfecting work in you. Don’t fight the revealing of sin. Don’t become discouraged either. Just cooperate with My loving Hand and trust Me. Remember that this is a process – not a one time event.

I love you Little Pearl. You truly are My pretty princess!

I See Your Heart

Pearl,

You are so beautiful to Me. I see your heart that desires to obey My Voice. I feel your  love for Me that longs to please Me. You do not ever have to wonder if I notice you, your love, or your obedience. I do. I notice every second. You see, Dear Pearl, your love for  Me is like a fragrant perfume. It is enticing to Me. As you obey, you are pouring out your love and faith in Me like a sweet-smelling sacrifice on the altar.

Do not worry if your attempts to obey are not perfect. I see your heart. Each time you  take a step in faith I Am there. I see. Pearl, read Matthew 15:1-9. Then the scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying, “Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.”

He answered and said to them, “Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition? For God commanded, saying, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’ But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever profit you might have received from me is a gift to  God”— then he need not honor his father or mother.’ Thus you have made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition. Hypocrites!

Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying: ‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ”

There are many who claim to know and love Me. Pearl, they make a big show of their  beliefs. What they do not realize is that I see their hearts. I hear the way they pretend to  obey but do not. They know My commandment is to love others but they excuse their  unloving actions and reason away their mistreatment. Pearl, do not fret about the hearts and behavior of others that is inconsistent or hypocritical. The world is full of people who claim to know Me but don’t. When you look beyond their words you will see actions that do not reflect My love. This is the way to test the spirits behind the words. These people are all around you, Pearl. Do not let them confuse you. Do not be upset. Leave them alone. Do not enter into debates with them. Papa knows they are there. He will handle their injustice which follows them wherever they go. Again I say, do not let the hypocritical behavior and actions of these people bother you. They are not of Me. Read further in Matthew 15:12-14.

Then His disciples came and said to Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?” But He answered and said, “Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.”

Even if these hypocrites talk about you behind your back, do not be upset. Just continue to listen to My Voice, do the duties I have given you, be calm and quiet. Remain conscious of My love for you. Spend lots of time with Me. Papa will take care of the unjust hypocrites. He will expose them and shut their mouths in His time. Whenever evil seems to be prospering around you, remain calm and quiet. Continue to fulfill your  duties and minister to others in love. Remain humble and keep your eyes on Me. I know the hearts of those around you just like I know your heart, I will use your patient quietness as a witness and warning to those who are in hypocrisy and arrogant rebellion. Your true love for Me will shine a flashlight on their false devotion. Your quiet faith in Me seeing and understanding what is truly going on will convict them more than if you  confronted them with reasonings.

Just be patient Pearl. These things do take time. Be patient and know that Papa and I are always working. We are not blind and we do not sleep. Even if the unjust ones seem to  be prospering, remember that their prosperity will only last for a season. Papa has patience for His prodigals. Their season of prosperity won’t last. Their empty words of devotions will come back to them. Their wicked backbiting words will also return to them.  Just wait it out, Pearl. Have patience.

Do good to them despite the way they treat you. Pray to Papa for their eyes to be enlightened. Don’t just shake your head and walk away. Pray for them. Let them see your obedience to Me as well as your love. Remain consistently faithful and humble. Anger will not bring righteousness to them. Preaching will do no good.

You and I are married, Pearl. We have a close and loving marriage. We are faithful and  committed to each other. They will see that as you remain calm and quiet. Trust Me. Trust Papa. I love you and see your desire to obey Sweet Pearl. Your obedience may not be perfect but I see your heart. You are beautiful to Me Pearl!

As I urged you when I went into Macedonia—remain in Ephesus that you  may charge some that they teach no other doctrine, nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly edification  which is in faith. Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith, from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to idle talk, desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm. But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully, knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine, according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust.
• And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He counted  me faithful, putting me into the ministry, although I was formerly a  blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man; but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to  those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life.

Your Shepherd

Pearl,

Do not fret.  You belong to Me. YOU ARE MINE. I have got you. No, I won’t let you go, no matter how you are feeling.  Even if you feel like we are far apart, know that you are MINE and I am holding you. Do not let circumstances and feelings guide you. Yes,  you may be distracted but do not be afraid.  Just return your attention to Me. Focus on  Me. Be still, calm and quiet.  Know that I Am here and I Am not angry.

The enemy wants you to believe that I Am angry with you. Do not forget, Precious Pearl,  that I walked the earth as a man.  I know the pressures and distractions. I know the weakness of flesh.  I know that My sheep wander.  I Am the best Shepherd. I understand  wandering sheep and wandering minds.  That is why I Am a Shepherd to you.

Pay attention to the prodding of My staff and the sound of My voice.  When you begin to  stray from following Me with all your heart, I will call you and guide your back into My  Arms.  A good shepherd is not angry with the sheep who belong to Him that get distracted and stop to look at something along the path.  He knows that the path is full of  distractions for his sheep.  He knows that his sheep need help following him.  He knows that some become weak and he carries them. Pearl a good shepherd does not ever reject or abandon any of his sheep. They belong to him. If they become entangled in a thorny bush because they were distracted he does not condemn them and walk away in anger. He never, ever abandons them. No, Precious Pearl, he does not become frustrated or angry because he knows that they are sheep and therefore they need help and constant care. He does not have unrealistic expectations of them.

Pearl, I know what and who you are. I love you. I love you continuously. When you  become distracted and caught in a thorny bush, do not fear that I will leave you behind.   You belong to Me.  Pearl, I do cry. I cry because you do not always believe that you truly  are Mine.  It is like a dream-come-true but so wonderful that you do not believe it is real.

Pearl, My love for you is real. It is true. I Am here and I am not leaving. You are Mine because I gave My all for you. You are so valuable that I gave everything I had – My  Life – for you. A man who invests his entire life, resources strength, emotion, time, and being into something he desires will not ever give it up once he obtains it. Pearl, you cannot put yourself in such a state that I won’t receive you with passionate joy.

I know your history, woundings, and discouragement. Therefore, I know how often you  need to hear Me say with all the intense passion of My heart: I love you Pearl. I am in  love with you, My Bride. I will not ever, ever leave you. I will not ever abandon you. I  have compassion and understanding for you – not anger or condemnation. I will always respond to you . . . I will always come close to you. I hear your cry. I always pay attention  to you. When you reach out to Me I Am there. When you ask Me to hold you, My Arms are tightly around you. When you need Me to disentangle you I will be gentle. I will always rescue you. You belong to Me, Pearl. You Are Mine! You are Mine! You are Mine!  I will never let you go. Guilt and shame will not separate Us.

Nothing will stop Me from loving you. Nothing will stop My delight in you. You are My treasure. You are My Pearl of Great Price. I Am the rich merchant who gave all he had to  purchase the valuable pearl. Time will not diminish My love for you.Your feelings will not diminish My love for you. Your distractions will not diminish My love for you.The fact that you sometimes need to be rescued won’t diminish My love for you. Your  weakness won’t diminish My love for you.  It is not wearisome for Me to tell you that I  love you over and over again.  It is My joy to tell you that you are My treasure and you  really, really do belong to Me. I will never get tired of saying, “I love you”. I crave you. You are My Bride. You belong to Me. Forget all else. Let go of history. Let go of our  failures and distractions. I love you. You are Mine.

Your name is written on my hand and in My heart. You might say that your name and likeness are tattooed across My chest. A nursing mother has a greater chance of abandoning her baby than I have of forgetting you. It is impossible for Me to ever stop loving you. To cease from loving you, My Bride, is something I cannot do. Ever. Ever. You are Mine.” Pearl, if you ever need to be reminded of who you are to Me, just lift your head and I will kiss you and pour all this truth into your spirit. Do not stop yourself from coming to Me, and asking Me to reassure you. Telling you how much I love you is My pleasure and joy. Let Me tell you every day. I love you, My Pearl of Great Price!

The Family Business

Little Pearl,

• Matthew15:29-32 Jesus departed from there, skirted the Sea of Galilee, and went up on the mountain and sat down there. Then great multitudes came to Him, having  with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others; and they laid  them down at Jesus’ feet, and He healed them. So the multitude marveled  when they saw the mute speaking, the maimed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

As the voice comes to Me, so I give a  decision], and My judgment is right (just, righteous), because I do not seek or consult My own will [I have no desire to do what is pleasing to Myself, My own aim, My own purpose] but only the will and pleasure of the Father Who  sent Me.

The Sheep Rescuing Business

Little Pearl,

Read Luke 15:1-7. Then all the tax collectors and the sinners drew near to Him to hear Him.  And the Pharisees and scribes complained, saying, “This Man receives sinners and eats with them.” So He spoke this parable to them, saying: “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders,  rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and  neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’ I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no  repentance.

Little Pearl, I love My lost sheep.  My heart cries out for those who are lost due to the enticements of sin. They are like sheep who usually have no idea they are in danger when they leave their shepherd.

Pearl, Our family business is a sheep – rescuing business. We go after those sheep who  are lost and rescue them.  We do not stop after the rescue.  We also heal and restore them.  Little Pearl, sin hurts and damages My sheep.  It leaves them very wounded and weak.   Notice that the Good Shepherd does not stop at finding the lost sheep and showing it the way home – He actually picks that wounded sheep up and carries it cross His shoulders.   He has understanding and compassion for the lost sheep.  He knows each one’s pain and  suffering.  Notice also the absence of chastisement.

Now Little Pearl, read what the citizens of Heaven do.  They rejoice over the repentance and restoration of that sheep.  What most people do not realize is that the citizens of  Heaven care very much about what is happening on earth.  They are not entertaining  themselves.  They understand the seriousness of the battle taking place on earth. They  understand the danger each lost sheep is in. They are watching attentively. They all truly  care about the wellbeing of each of My sheep.  Therefore they pay close attention to each  one that is enticed by sin and strays into dangerous territory.  They then watch the rescue and restoration process with great delight. Those who are lost and in despair or even  ignorant of their danger have no idea that there is an audience in Heaven watching with  bated breath to see if they will repent, be rescued and restored.

Little Pearl, join Us in the rescue and restoration business. Cooperate with My Son as He sends you out to speak for Him.  Be patient with some of the lost sheep and always remember that they are broken, wounded, weak and in pain.  Carry them right along with  Jesus.  As you are carrying them, listen quietly to the gentle sounds through Holy Spirit.   You will hear the very real audience in heaven rejoicing.

You are not alone. You are never unseen.  You are never unsupported. All that you do in  Our family business is noticed. Just remember to listen for my Voice and directions.  Follow Jesus’ example of great understanding and compassion as you find each lost sheep.  Handle them with love, patience and gentleness.. As you do, listen to the sounds of applause and rejoicing.

I love you, Little Pearl! Welcome to Our family business.

ACCEPT YOUR ASSIGNMENT

My Dearest Pearl,

I long to take you into My arms. Lie still and focus on Me and my great love for you.  Relax.  Let everything else that has been on your mind go.  Forget everything. Right now the world only consists of you and Me.  There is only your desiring heart for Me and My  desiring heart for you. Relax and let Me give you a love massage in your spirit.  That is what real husbands do for their wives. Pearl, I Am your Husband.

You are not alone in all your circumstances.  I placed you in the middle of these difficult circumstances for a great purpose that is beyond your understanding right now. Will you  not seek escape from these difficult circumstances? Will you accept them as your  assignment from Papa in Our family business?  Rather than asking Papa to remove you or change these circumstances, ask Papa to bless those around you – especially the difficult ones.  Ask Him to give you more and more desire for intimacy with Me to the point that you really do not care about having less stressful circumstances any more.

The more you desire Me and Our intimacy the more We will fellowship with you and the more your awareness of Me grows.  Your awareness of Me grows in direct proportion to  your desire for Me. Do you want Heaven on Earth?  Simply desire more intimacy with  Me.  I will not limit Myself with you.  You can have as much of Me as your heart truly  desires…truly desires..that is the key..true desire.

The Pharisees and many of the people sought after Me but they did not truly desire Me.   They desired My gifts and benefits. They desired My provision.  Their hearts did not yearn and cry out for Me. They were not willing to give up their lives for Me.  My

Dearest Pearl, will you remain in these difficult circumstances and minister to these difficult people because you love and desire Me? Will you not pray for ways to escape? Will you accept your assignment?  Is your desire truly for Me or is it just for My  benefits?  I do bless My people but My people are those who obey Papa and desire to  please Him. The desires of their heart are for more intimacy with Me and to share My  burden.  They do not seek after more comfortable circumstances.  They are busy working  in Our family business and remain focused on their assignments.

My Pearl, I will always be working right beside you. I will work through you.  I will also  work on you. Come to Me each day and I will massage the shoulders of your spirit and  renew your strength for the next day’s work.  I will lift your burdens and restore your  soul.  Each new day I will give you strength. Each day you and I will share greater  intimacy while we work together in the midst of these difficult circumstances.  There will even be days in which I will carry you and when you look back you will wonder how you made it through.  My Pearl, put your desire on Me – not on escaping or changing the circumstances.  Put you desire on more intimacy with Me.

Ask  Holy Spirit for things like more wisdom, greater ability to focus on Me, more discernment of My Voice, more ability to truly love others.  These prayers We love to  answer. These prayers are from hearts that truly desire Me – not just My gifts.  Pearl, the impossible can be reality but only if you are truly seeking to complete your assignment in Our family business.  You are not alone.  I Am working with you.

I love you, Pearl!

SURROUNDED BY SIN AND PAIN

Pearl,

I understand.  I know pain and sorrow.  I know what the sins of others do to your own  soul.  I know the desire to escape and run to a better place. Pearl, read Matthew 14 –  15:20.  Papa had placed Me on Earth.  I lived and walked among sin and the resulting  pain.  Pain and the sin which caused it were all around Me. Everywhere I looked I saw sin and pain.  The society was full of selfish pleasures.  Worldliness reigned among the rulers.  They were open and bold about their adultery, parties, self-indulgence and  rebelliousness.  My sheep were surrounded by wickedness and the rebelliousness of the larger society.  On the other side of My sheep was the abuse and barrenness of their  shepherds.  While the larger society was consumed by the lust of the flesh, the Pharisees and teachers of My sheep were consumed by the pride of life, the lust for power and the desire for wealth which is the lust of the eyes.  It was in the midst of sin and the pain that it causes I was sent by Papa.  That sin and pain affected Me as well. I know what loss and grief feel like.  My cousin, co-worker in Papa’s Business and friend was beheaded  because of sin that reigned on the earth.

What do you do, Pearl, when the sin of others touches you so deeply that you are filled  with pain?  Notice both what I did and did not do.  I know where My help comes from – it comes from Papa and Holy Spirit.  I know the need of the human spirit to remain  connected to Papa and Holy Spirit in all circumstances.  I know that distractions must be controlled.  I sought privacy with Papa and Holy Spirit.  I sought deep communion with  pure love and wisdom.  I sought the only source of light and hope.  I sought the peace that only Papa and Holy Spirit can give.  I sought the renewing of My mind by hearing  Papa’s plan again.  I sought the only power that is greater than the powers of sin and  darkness that ruled the earth.  That power is the power of love.  Papa and Holy Spirit are the only source of love and therefore I went straight to them in My need.

What do you do, Pearl, when your emotions are tossed by waves of anger, offense, grief  and pain?  Do you run to Papa?  Or, do you engage with those whose sin caused your  pain?  Do you remember that you are not living in the beautiful Garden of Eden and  therefore do not have the luxury of sinlessness peace? Do you remember that everyone around you as well as you yourself is broken and blinded or do you expect them to  operate as if they were whole and seeing truth?  Do you lash out in anger at their  brokenness and expect them to behave as if they were functioning the way Papa intended? Papa placed you in a battlefield to serve the purposes of a soldier in a war and be a healer  for those in pain.  Do not forget your purpose.

When I was deeply touched by the sin of others and saw the abuses of their leaders I did  two things which kept Me from being overwhelmed by the pain and sorrow.  I went to  Papa and Holy Spirit for intense healing and fellowship with them. I also did not neglect the assignment Papa had given to Me.  I focused on having love and compassion for My  hurting and starving sheep.  I focused on the needs of others and trusted Papa and Holy  Spirit to meet My needs.  In communion with Papa and loving those around Me I  regained perspective and strength.  Papa’s love and His plan always renew those in the midst of the violence of the battle.

Pearl, do not let the sin and offenses of others cripple you and deter you from Papa’s business.  Do not focus on your losses or disappointments.  Do not look at the darkness and become overwhelmed.  Rather, look at the light which is much greater than the darkness.  Do not expect justice and peace in a world that is broken.  Expect to see violence and injustice on the battlefield.

Just remember that recovering lost and wounded sheep on the battlefield is what Our  Family Business is all about.  We are the search and rescue team.  While We are working  We always experience the effects of Battle.  Do not leave your assignment when you are hit.  Instead, get away with Papa and Holy Spirit.  They will heal you and give you light to see again.  Then remember those We are sent to rescue.  Remember their pain and  confusion.  Pearl, some of Our lost sheep are the very ones who fired weapons at you.   Do not let the injustice and violence of the battle deter you from rescuing all Our sheep.   Remember that wounded people can not function like healed people.  Do not expect them to operate in love if they have not been filled with Papa’s love.  When you see them for  what they truly are – lost and wounded sheep who can not see or function as they should than you can be open to Papa’s love for them.

Pearl, always ask Papa and Holy Spirit for more love for those around you.  Then you  will have compassion rather than revenge.  You will forgive rather than become trapped  in bitterness.  His love will enable you to become a healer and peacemaker.  Healing and  making peace are the goals of Our Family Business. Remember that when the battle is raging.  Remember to get alone with Us often.  Take your pain and sorrow to Us.  We will give you perspective, heal you and refill you with the greatest force on earth – love.

I love you, sweet Pearl!

HURTING SHEEP

My Beautiful child,

There are so many sheep who are hurting . . .  so many who are afraid. Do you hear their cries? They cry out to Me. They cry in the dark and go about their routines during the day like prisoners who have almost given up hope of ever being set free. Some are dealing with so much pain from tormenting memories of horrific childhoods that they are consumed with trying to erase the pain.  Others began their marriages with fairytale expectations only to find themselves trapped in a horror story. Others have been prisoners of physical pain and sickness to the point that they are secluded in a prison of suffering that seems to only get worse each day.

My Pearl, My sheep are crying. The world is full of darkness and prisons. My sheep are looking for ways to be released. They want explanations for their suffering. In  desperation they turn to anyone or any substance that offers them answers or relief. They cling to false truth and temporary pain relievers of all types as if they were escape tunnels. My Pearl, trying to dig your way out of hopelessness by clinging to false truth is like a man who is trying to dig a tunnel in wet beach sand. The water from the ocean keeps the sand loose. Each shovel load may produce a hole but the loose sand around the hole easily slides into the hole and fills it again. False truth will never provide a stable and lasting foundation. It looks like it provides a way to explain the world and offers an  escape from suffering but because it is only false truth it ultimately becomes unstable and collapses. When this happens – and it always does – My poor, suffering sheep are in even more agony.

Many cling to one false truth after another, after another. They try many methods of escape from their various prisons. Each method offers hope. Each consists of false truth. Each ultimately fails.  The suffering sheep then, upon discovering that the way of escape failed, often slips into such despair that they feel there is not hope for them at all.

My Pearl, it is at this very moment that these poor sheep are finally ready to be rescued. You see, they were not truly ready to be rescued before. They felt that they knew what to do about their prisons. They accepted false truth because their pride and independence blinded them. Each has his own idea of what the problem is all about and how to solve it.

My Pearl, it can take many years of digging in wet, unstable sand before My poor sheep  are ready for Real Truth. Pride is blinding. Pride runs deep. Pride and self-love do not accept Real Truth.  After trying many forms of escape from the prison, some of My sheep collapse in exhaustion and stop clinging to false hope. It is at this point they are finally willing to see Real Truth. Only when pride and self-love have been broken can they be set free from prison. Pride and self-love do not allow anyone to see Real Truth. Therefore, Papa is kind when He allows suffering to do its work on hard hearts.  Suffering looks horrible on the outside but I see what it is doing on the inside. No one can live independently from Papa. No Real Truth exists apart from Him. The pride of life brings ultimate death unless it is broken. Suffering exposes the fragility of the human spirit. This fragility is often hidden from the person. He thinks he is strong, stable and has all the right answers. It is not until he finds himself in a prison of suffering that he begins to see the fragility of his spirit.  At that point he looks for a way to escape. When that proves futile all he can do is accept the truth of death – the death of his own strength, the death of his own false assumptions, the death of his own false explanations, the death  of his own abilities, the death of his own solutions, the death of his own dreams and  desires. When this type of death is accepted by My sheep, he is ready for Life.

My Pearl, Real Truth and Life are only found in Papa. In the True Kingdom, answers are found in the opposite form of methods and solutions the world offers, In the True Kingdom opposites provide escape. When a soul is lost and finally realizes he is completely and totally lost he now is ready to be found. When a soul is weak and  embraces his weakness instead of trying to muster up more strength then he can accept True strength from the only source of strength. When a soul surrenders then he will find  victory. When a soul no longer cares to prove his worth and accepts his unworthiness then he will find grace to cover all his needs. When a soul acknowledges that his answers were nothing but false truth then his eyes will be opened to see Real Truth. When a soul no longer loves itself and seeks to defend, protect and pleasure itself then it will shift its focus from self to the One who is all Love and Peace.

My Pearl, these sheep are now ready for Us. They are ready to be rescued. Only when suffering has brought them to this state in which all false truth is released can My sheep  be recovered.  Wait, Pearl. Wait until I show you each sheep who has reached the point of receiving rescue. If you act too quickly the sheep will not cooperate during the rescue process. You will waste time and become distracted away from those who are ready. I  know which sheep are ready to be rescued.  I will show you who they are. Therefore, everyone who is in Our Family Business must wait on Me to show them which sheep they are to focus upon. You will not be able to tell by the outward appearance or circumstances of each sheep. Some prisons are completely internal. Externally the sheep may look fine. Therefore you must be guided by Me. Listen to Me as you observe each  sheep. Look for the clues that I will give. Observe My timing. With some sheep be ready to move in quickly. With others, be willing to wait . . .even if they are suffering terribly.

I Am Wisdom, Pearl. I Am the only way to identify which sheep are ready to be rescued. Seek Me. Without Wisdom you will make mistakes and possibly scatter the sheep. I Am Wisdom and I will give you all the wisdom you need in order to reach the goals of Our  Family Business. Do not move or act without Me. The more you depend on Me the more successful you will be in Our Business.

Remember the Real Kingdom operates differently. Therefore, your earthly wisdom is of  no use. It can even be damaging.  Instead, seek My Wisdom. When earthly wisdom says hurry, My Wisdom says wait.  When earthly wisdom says talk a lot and use reason, My Wisdom says be quiet and love. Pearl, depend on Me for everything. Do not make a move without seeking Me. The rescue of many sheep depend upon your submission to Me.

Do not be like the lost sheep and allow pride to prevent Me from managing and staging  the rescue.  Constantly be on the alert for your own pride. Your pride can spoil a rescue. The more dependent and submissive you are to Me the better I can work. The pride of man never rescued any lost sheep. Renounce pride. Be aware of all pride that slips in your spirit. Embrace your own weakness and unworthiness so the strength and grace from Papa can rescue the sheep. The more humble and small you are, My Pearl, the more Papa can use you in Our Family Business.  I love you, My Pearl.  You are teachable.  Therefore you will be used in Our Business.

MY GLORY IS EVERYWHERE
Little Pearl,

My Glory is everywhere.  You do not see it because you have not been looking for it.   You have been very busy all these years with attempting to keep the machinery of your  life running smoothly.  You focus on providing fuel for the machinery using your own  strength, skill and time.  You become preoccupied with damage control and providing for  future needs.  You are distracted by the noise of your society and allow your mind to be filled with the voices of broken humanity.  Worries and fears dominate as you consider  the future.

Little Pearl, it is so easy for My sheep to stop seeing Me.  They take their eyes off Me and who I Am.  When they do not look at Me all day long their minds quickly forget who  and what I Am.  The brokenness of each human prevents him from retaining the Truth of  all that I Am.  The moment My sheep stop focusing their attention on Me they lose memory of My glory, power, size and majesty.  When they focus their lives on the distractions of society they stop listening for My Voice.  At this point the impact of My  Presence and Omnipotence begins to fade.  In their minds I become small and distant.   Their eyes are blinded to My glory.

In truth, I have not changed. I never change.  My glory does not fade.  My Voice does not become quiet.  I do not stop working.  I do not lose any control at all.  My  significance is not diminished.  Pearl, Our Family Business requires you to be strong in Me and in My  power.  It requires faith and complete trust in the fact that I Am more than in control.  It requires you to completely surrender all possible outcomes to Me.

Therefore, to help you with your faith and peace, I have provided you with My Glory.   Ask Me to open your eyes to notice and then fully gaze upon My Glory.  I will gladly  show My Glory to any of My sheep who sincerely ask.  My Glory is all around you.  I  have provided My Glory for your benefit.  Looking at My Glory gives you strength  during battles. It fives you faith despite the circumstances.  My Glory will calm your  fears and give you peace.  My Glory will give you the proper perspective of My abilities.  Ask Me to captivate your attention with My Glory.

Nothing can compete with the magnificence of My Glory: TV, movies, technology,  voices of friends, co-workers, family, newscasters – no one and nothing can captivate you like My Glory.  Nothing is more beautiful, pure and powerful than My Glory.  When you  take My Glory into your spirit you receive the courage and boldness to not only survive the battlefield conditions but also find the lost sheep and carry them on your shoulders. Little Pearl, no battlefield is without My Glory.  You can not exist anywhere without being able to see My Glory.  There is no place on, above or below the earth that does not contain  My Glory.  If you look for My Glory you will find it when you seek it with all your heart.  Ask Me to give you eyes to see My Glory.  When I do you will wonder why  you never saw it before and how could you have missed it? As you look at My Glory you will sense your faith growing stronger and stronger.  Focus on Me, Little Pearl. Seek My  Glory.  Ask Me and I will show you beautiful wonders.

What is the essence of My Glory? What does it consist of? What substance fills every  part of creation and beyond? What power transforms the faintest heart into a powerful soldier? What force dispels darkness and heals the deepest of wounds? What brings Truth to those bound by lies and sets the prisoners free? Pure LOVE.  Little Pearl, My  Glory is My Love.  There is no other force greater than My Love.  It holds all things together.  My Love is My Glory and it is everywhere.

You are used to seeing pain and darkness all around you.  You are used to seeing the results of broken people using their freedom of choice to serve themselves.  You see the results of sin.   Stop focusing on these things.  Turn your eyes away from the smoke and  dirt of the battlefield.  Do not listen to the thundering of the weapons.  Do not focus on  the yelling, violent voices.  Instead, ask Me to enable you to see My Glory.  Look at it constantly.  You will then feel the full armor I provide being fitted around you.  The more you focus on My Glory the more powerful that full armor grows.  That armor will protect you and you will have boldness and confidence to remain in the position I placed you.   You will not become a deserter if you focus on My Glory.  Instead, you will be a soldier  who is very useful.

Change what you look at each day, Little Pearl.  Shift your gaze and your focus.  I will open your eyes to see wonders you missed.  You will delight  in My Glory.  The more you look at it the brighter it will grow.  Come, Little Pearl and I will show you My Glory!

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.

Go and Do Not Fear

Little Pearl,

You are My beautiful child. I Am protecting you. No evil can come near you. Do not hesitate to go to the seemingly dangerous parts of the wilderness. I will lead you to My lost sheep. I will protect you from all evil forces. They are nothing compared to Me. Jezebel, with all her intimidating powers was nothing compared to Me. She made fearful threats but in the end she was the one who was destroyed.Evil is real but I took all power and ruling authority away from Satan. He has no authority over you and therefore he cannot harm you. He can not get close to you.

I surround you with My Presence and My love. The blood of My Son covers you so Satan cannot accuse you. Many lost sheep have wandered into areas of the wilderness that are dangerous for them. When they turned away from My love they also turned down My protection. They allowed darkness to blind and capture them. Little Pearl, not everyone who is blinded and captured by sin wants to be rescued. I Am only sending you to rescue My sheep who truly want to be rescued.

Do not be intimidated when you come face-to-face with the dark forces that entangle them.  Remember, Little Pearl, you are married to Jesus. You have the authority and  power of His Name.  The authority of His Name is backed by the law and I will enforce the use of His Name.  ]I will support you. Whatever you bind on earth, I will bind it from Heaven. When you bind the forces of evil using the name and authority of Jesus I will bind them also from Heaven. When you loose the Spirit of Truth and peace on earth, I will loose it from Heaven. Bind hatred, violence and unforgiveness, Little Pearl. Bind  rebellion and jealousy. Bind greed and lies. Loose My love. Loose the recognition of My love. Loose forgiveness. The weapons at your disposal are mighty and can soften the hardest of hearts.

Continually to speak peace and love to those who are prisoners of darkness.Speak of My  acceptance of them. Speak of the total forgiveness that awaits them. Remind them that I Am big and powerful enough to deliver them. Tell them they cannot have too much sin for My Mercy to cover. Little Pearl, remember that fear is often in the spirits of these lost sheep. Only My perfect love can deliver them. The spirit of fear cannot exist in the presence of My complete, unconditional love. My love overcomes fear. Tell them over and over.

Even if they resist hearing words of love tell them anyway. Tell them how I sent you and asked you to tell them how much I love them. Remember that the sheep who have been  living in areas dominated by evil and darkness are blind and do not hear well either. Therefore, have patience with them. It will take time and persistence to get the message of My love through to them. Do not be discouraged or grow weary. Come to Me and I will give you strength. Ask Holy Spirit for wisdom.  Pearl, there were many souls who  lived in Babylon who responded to My love. Trust Me. Do not be intimidated by darkness or let fear rule over you. Remember that I know you are made of dust and need My help. ou belong to Me and therefore I will help you.

Praise Me often. Praise is a powerful weapon. Use My anointed music to help you remain focused on Me. Keep it with you at all times. Ask Me to open your eyes to see My Glory every day. These are ways to keep your faith strong. These are ways to prevent lies and darkness from affecting you while you are in the darkest wilderness to rescue a sheep. Remain calm and connected with Me. Listen to My Voice. Do not do anything without hearing My Voice.

Remain thankful and display your gratitude and contentment. These are also powerful weapons.  Remind yourself of My faithfulness to you and others in the past. Tell stories of My wonders in your life. Little Pearl, it is possible to rescue lost sheep who have gotten themselves in the most dangerous parts of the wilderness. You have the best of equipment. Trust Me to keep you safe.

Remember that I Am very large and all-powerful. Remember that you are the apple of My eye. He who contends or comes against you comes against Me. I love you, Little Pearl. You are safe with Me.

Lost Sheep

My Pearl,

When you think about a lost sheep, do not consider their deeds – words and actions. Do not consider their attitudes and perspective to the point that they guide you. Do not focus on your history with them or their history with others. Remember that they are not sheep who have remained under the care of their Shepherd. They wandered away from Him.

Sheep under Jesus’ care know His Voice. They easily distinguish His Voice from the voices of strangers. They can tell the difference between Jesus’ Voice and the voice of lust, greed, selfishness, pride and doubt. Sheep who remain with Jesus rejoice when He is near and love to hear Him speaking to them. Jesus’ Voice gives them peace and joy. His love for them meets all their needs.  Their bellies are full and they are not insecure. They feed on Jesus’ love and therefore have enough love leftover to love and feed each  other.

My Pearl, sheep who chose to leave the place the Good Shepherd put them also chose to  leave His protection. They chose to leave the care and food He provided. They chose to leave the sound of His Voice and exchange if for the sound of other voices. Therefore, they exchanged many truths for many lies.This completely transforms a sheep’s perspective and ability to rightly see the world around them. Voices of strangers now dictate to the flesh of a sheep. He no longer focuses on his Master calling to him. His heart no longer rejoices at the sound of His Protector’s Voice. My Pearl, lost sheep are not always aware of their own condition. They have exchanged the truth for lies. They  feed on those lies as they listen to the voices of strangers.

Often, confusion reigns within them. When they are frightened, in their confusion they run even further away from the Voice of Truth. They bump into other sheep nearby and hurt them. They panic and may kick you in their confusion. In their attempt to save themselves they hurt others and become further entangled in the Wilderness of Sin. My Pearl, sheep who have been feeding on lies are sick sheep. Their being is poisoned.  They are blind and deaf. The poison they have eaten comes out of them and they then share that poison with other lost sheep. This is not an easy or pleasant situation for a rescuer, My Pearl.

What makes it even more difficult is that the lost sheep often has convinced himself that he is not really lost. Since he has not heard the true Voice of the Good Shepherd for a while, he thinks that the Voice he is listening to is Truth. At this point, My Pearl, you must soak in My Wisdom. Your every interaction with this sheep must be dictated by Me. Only I can help a lost sheep see the Truth. This process can take a long time. It can be quite painful for you, My Pearl, as a rescuer who has been assigned one of these sheep.  When a lost sheep has exchanged the truth for lies, he often resents a rescuer for saying that he is lost and in danger. That is why you must be patient and wait on Me. Focus on listening to Me as I give you Wisdom. The rescue process may seem to be moving very slowly but remember that most of the rescuing occurs within the spirit of the sheep. It is so deeply internal that it cannot be seen by the rescuer. The process of exchanging lies for Truth begins deep within the sheep but does not show outwardly right away. Therefore, My Pearl, expect or do not be surprised when the sheep continues to respond  to his circumstances with confusion or panic. Do not be surprised if he hurts you or others.

My Pearl, are you willing to be patient with the sheep I send to you? Will you bear or put up with his confused behavior? Will you allow yourself to be bumped into due to his blindness? When he falls, will you forget how he made himself fall and bumped into you in the process? Will you simply carry that sheep, confused thinking and all, to a place of rest and care for his wounds? My Pearl, will you love on the sheep whose sin and selflove continually hurt you? I promise to be with you. I will give you all the patience and wisdom you need whenever you ask Me. Come to Me when that struggling, squirming sheep hurts you. I will heal you as you forgive the sheep. I will give you Truth so you do not get caught up in listening to strange voices. I will help you forget the painful memories and overlook each incident.

Come to Me with a desire to forgive. I will make that desire a reality. I will help you to forgive by reminding you of how easy it is to exchange truth for lies and follow the wrong voices. Remember when you did that yourself?  In your blindness you also hurt others. You know what it is to be enticed by something outside the Presence of your Shepherd and wander off to consider it.  Remember those times, My Pearl. Remember your own history of sin and time spent in the Wilderness of Sin. As you remember, I will give you humility. Humility then becomes compassion.  Compassion then becomes love. Love always carries with it patience and perseverance. Patience allow kindness even in  the face of hostility and selfishness on the part of the lost and confused sheep.

My Pearl, this is not an easy business. Our Family Business involves lots of hard work and sacrifice.  Only those who listen to Papa and Jesus carefully and remember how much they themselves need their Voice of Truth can be successful in this business. It is not easy but you are not alone, My Pearl. I Am here for you. Lean on Me. Listen to Me. I will help you every step of the way. I will give you strength to bear with those lost ones. I love you!

• 2 Thessalonians 3:4-5 And we have confidence in the Lord concerning you, both that you do and  will do the things we command you. Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.
• I Corinthians 13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I  have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing Love suffers long and is kind;  love does not envy;love does not parade itself,  is not puffed up; does not behave rudely,  does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whetherthere is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know  in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

If any of you  lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
