You may be the answer to someone’s prayer

Dear Child,

Be My love extended to the unloved,

Be My strength extended to the weak,

Be My word extended to the despaired,

Be My wisdom extended to the confused.

My church is My Body here on earth,

As My Body, be My hands and feet extended and the answer to someone’s prayer!

Be sensitive to the leading of the Head!

Your physical body is obedient, even without questioning, to that which your head tells it to do. It is instinctive and spontaneous; if your head tells your feet to walk, you walk; if your head tells your hand to lift, your hand lifts.

Even so as My Mystical Body, obey instinctively and spontaneously in the spiritual realm that which the Head is telling you to do!

                                                                       Thus saith Papa

Eph 5:23-25 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;  Eph 5:29-32 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

God formed Eve from Adam’s side to be a help meet for him. Likewise God formed the church from Christ’s bleeding side that she might be His help meet here on earth! 

Challenge: Discern divine appointments for you may be Christ’s answer to someone’s prayer.

Is your life a stench or sweet savor to the Lord?

 

Dear Father,

How can I present myself a living sacrifice that will be a sweet savor to you?

Dear Child,

It is at the place of choice that your life is a stench or sweet savor to Me! The fire is the tests of life! The sweet savor is the obedience that is caused by the fire.

At a time of testing do not rebel, rather submit to My sovereignty, and that will cause a cloud of sweet incense that will be pleasing to Me.

Without the test there is no fire!

Without the choice there is no obedience!

Without obedience there is no sweet savor!

                                                   Thus saith Papa

Rom 12:1  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

Deu 30:19  I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.

Challenge: Everyday life is full of hundreds of so called insignificant choices, but 

                        are they really so insignificant, when they are the place where our

                       lives can be a stench or a sweet savor to the Lord?

The Ministering Heart of a Woman

Dear Father,

Help me understand my place as a woman in your church and your Kingdom?

Dear Child,

I did not invest gifts in you to lay dormant, but to be used wisely to increase my Kingdom. Be faithful, keep working while it is day.

What return will you give me on that day, on the talents I placed in you? Only those things done for my Kingdom out of a pure heart of gold, with no self motivation will not burn as hay and stubble but will be pure gold! Self that day will burn up, for self must be destroyed for it is the seat of pride, and my Kingdom is built on humility and servitude.

What will you say on that day? I was a woman and hid my talent!

There is much, as a woman, that you can achieve as my daughter, that a son may not be able to do. You are not only a woman, you are a unique creation. Encourage other women to seek out their uniqueness, and fulfill their purpose.

I am not asking you to be a man, only a bold woman. I knew you would be a woman when I created you. Let your potential flow through the vessel that I created. Be yourself, only then are you real, only then will others see your vulnerability, and know that it is My Holy Spirit working through you. When others see your vulnerability, they see your heart, and when they see your heart they see Me, for I dwell in your heart. Open your heart that they may see my love flowing from a heart of gold.

Bring glory to my name, by faithfulness and obedience. My child, you are called by my name, bring honor and glory to that name.

                                                                       Thus saith Papa

Acts 2:18  And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

Gal 3:28  There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

Challenge: You don’t have to loose your femininity and sensitivity to be a bold vessel.                    Just be yourself!

Don’t pull His Body out of joint

Dear Child,

You know Me better as you spend time with My Body on earth. That is why unity is so important, then you can hear clearly from the Head and the anointing will flow!

My Body is so pulled apart in one direction or another, lay aside differences that are often only opinions, for the sake of unity. Would you cut My Body asunder for the sake of an opinion and wanting to be right!

If you love Me do what you can to protect against splits that hurt My Body, be the healing ointment to the weaker parts, that they may be healed, and that healing will knit them together again as one.

How can the anointing flow from the Head down over the Body of My church if there is not unity?

Child, do your part and be an influence to unit My Body in these last days, that there might be a great harvest, and a mighty move of My presence among My people!

                                                               Thus saith Papa

Psa 133:1 -2 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;

John 17:20  -21 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

Our heavenly Papa has invested a part of Himself in each of His children. As we get to know each other and recognize that investment, we realize just how much we need our brothers and sisters if we are going to know Him more fully. As we grow to know Him more fully we will grow to be more gracious than righteous towards each other, thereby protecting His Body from division. The word of the Lord concerning His death is prophetically declared in  Psa 22:14  I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; and even today His bones are still being pulled out of joint by divisions within His Body.

Challenge: How can we say we love the Head if we do not love His Body? What opinion or right could you surrender today for the sake of unity in His Body? 


It’s time to spring clean our spiritual closets

Dear Father,
Help me that I may only be clothed with integrity and never in subtle pretense!
Show me, Papa, signs of danger least I fall!
Dear Child,
It is in relationships and your dealings and responses to others, you will see the signs, as the Holy Spirit, illuminates that which is not of My spirit, but of the flesh!
In our time alone you behold Me!
                     BUT
In your time with others you behold yourself!
It is in your interactions with others that you see clearly what you have learned while in My presence.
It is in interaction with others that your growth is tested
In My presence you stand naked
                      BUT
In the presence of others you may be clothed with “pretense”.
Do not fool yourself or try to fool others, be real, grow up and wear the character of integrity and authenticity.
Declutter your spiritual wardrobe that there may be room for the clothing of humility, grace, integrity and authenticity.
These are royal robes!
Moths and time cannot deteriorate these garments, but rather time matures them to shine even brighter!
                                                             Thus saith Papa
Rev 16:15  Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
Prov 16:2  All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.
Psa 139:23  Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
Psa 139:24  And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
Challenge: As the Lord shines His light into the hidden corners of our spiritual closet, let us do some spiritual spring cleaning by withdrawing and discarding our subtle masks, that we may be found clothed in the transparent “royal robes” that befit a saint.
