The Power of the Cross, the Blood, the Resurrection, and the Word

Through Jesus- the power of the cross, 
blood, His resurrection and Word

(UPDATE: Added scripture - Isaiah 55:7-9. Also, at the end, added 55:12, as moved by His Spirit. Also added one picture. Glory belongs to the Lord alone - BP Sep 9/26)

Power in the Blood and Name of Jesus/Yeshua

Although you have felt abandoned and forgotten at times, you do well to remember that I have promised never to leave or forsake My people. I shall not fail you; fear not. [Deu 31:6] They may turn away from Me, or they may mistake My silence for absence, but I do not depart.

The reprobate have made their choice. Apostasy is on the rise, just as it is written. I had to bring you to this place [spiritually], for I am doing a good work in you that you cannot yet see. 

I AM HERE. RISE UP - begin to thank Me and praise Me. We have walked together a long time. Before you were born, I knew you. I have been patient with you in much. Patience is learned through waiting, and obedience is learned through what is suffered. [Heb 5:8]

Great troubles are soon here, but for those who allow this deep purifying, this cleansing, this testing; such as these are the pure vessels I require in this hour. I will have a holy people; a pure Bride, without spot or blemish. Show forth your praises, for I have called you out of darkness and into My marvellous light. [1Pet 2:9]

Continue on. Worship Me in spirit and in truth, for the hour is now. [Jn 4:23] Rejoice in My love. I am close to those who keep a repentant heart filled with godly sorrow, hating sin. Rejoice in My love for you, for perfect love casts out fear. Fear has torment, and they who fear are not made perfect in love. [1Jn 4:18]

Jesus Christ is Returning Soon

Listen to the sound of the trumpet and the approaching hooves of multitudes (witnesses). I AM returning, and no one knows the day or the hour. Therefore, keep watch - pray. 

Speak forth as I lead you by My Spirit, for if I am lifted up (upon the cross) I shall draw men unto Myself. For this reason I came, willingly shedding My blood as a sacrifice to redeem all who believe; to forgive and to reconcile back to the Father through Me [Jesus].

Choices - Even in the Garden of Eden, mankind has always had the power to choose. Choose wisely. Lay it all down; it will be worth it to pick up your own cross and follow Me. In times of weakness, I am your strength.

Remember, you overcome him (Satan and his minions) by the blood of the Lamb (My blood) and the word of your testimony, and love not your life unto death (upon that spiritual cross, nailing the sins of the flesh there), turning away from them. I will help you. Bring your petitions, your prayers to Me, with thanksgiving.

Do not be anxious - bring your requests to Me. [Phil 4:6] Wait upon Me. Be strong and of good courage. I speak once, twice, yet man does not perceive it [Job 33:14] Yet you perceive, My child. Now is the time. Selah

Armour Covered in the Lamb's Blood - Spiritual Warfare is Real

How heavy is your heart, My child, for the battle has been hard and long. Hold fast to me, for a while longer, and you shall see the victory. The time of sealing, the test of endurance, the test of faith, the trying of the heart belongs to the remnant.

The remnant are those who are born-again, Spirit-filled believers who love the Lord their God with all their heart, mind, soul, and being, and love your neighbour as yourself. These are the two greatest commandments, and all the other laws hang on these two.

My people shall endure to the end, coming through victoriously, having been well-trained (and many who are being trained) by previous and ongoing tests and tribulations, being purged and purified in the fires (furnace of affliction) and through the waters (of separation).

Everything that may abide [endure] the fire, you shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless, it shall be purified with the waters of separation: and all that abides [endures] not the fire, you shall make go through the water. [Num 31:23]

Yes, hold fast to Me, for I AM your refuge and your strong tower. Yea, the cross is heaviest when it is first being carried, and excruciatingly hard to the flesh to stay upon; dying to self and all that is in the world [is difficult]

(NOTE: I understood that Jesus knows the battle between the flesh and the spirit. He comforts us in His understanding, and His understanding is not as that of people. He is no pushover, but He is no tyrant either. He cannot be compared to a human - not in thought, word or deed. God is astounding! BP end note]

God's ways and thoughts are higher than ours...

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return to the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.

For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts. [Is 55:7-9]

Yet only after death can My resurrection power go forth to raise you up to a place where the enemy cannot touch you [spiritually] unless you give him permission by giving in to temptation.  

(Note: But repentance brings forgiveness; we struggle against this flesh until the day we join the Lord, but that does not mean we get lazy about sin. Satan cannot force us to sin - but he tempts us with everything he has. We need to hate it just as our Creator does... BP)

Jesus is close to the broken-hearted
filled with godly sorrow

Filled with Godly Sorrow

Genuine repentance is honoured; forgiveness is real. Healing and restoration are in My hand. Look up, look up, for your redemption draws near.

Further chaos and destruction are coming upon mankind and the world, for judgment goes forth. Sin also is a destructive and chaotic force, which the enemy delights in. I AM the one who shall create the new when all is said and done.

Keep on your [full] armour [Eph 6]; pray without ceasing; abide in Me and do that which I ask of you to do. Obedience is rewarded. Great blessing is about to fall upon My obedient children; but great judgment also is falling upon all nations and all peoples of the earth. Yes, and the wrath of the devil, the prince of this world, is coming, but he has nothing on Me, and he cannot overrule that which I have spoken and that which I have ordained to be.

[Note: (What I understood): Some people can get carried away when they see the words 'great blessing'. My cautionary reminder is to always remember this world is not our home.

A "great blessing" can be a restored relationship that was severed, one that someone has prayed about for a long time, perhaps even decades, perhaps even the now-answered prayer of 'salvation' for someone in their family, someone who did not live to see the answer to their prayers come to fruition, but a great reconciliation is coming through the hands of the Sovereign, Providential God. the prosperity preachers would have people think a "great blessing" is material gain, money - or with some charismatics, a new Learjet.

Another great blessing could be a long-awaited healing of the "impossible" kind, or a much-needed job or home. For others, it could be a miracle pregnancy or adoption that they have fervently prayed about. It may be acceptance at a certain university or college. It could be deliverance from addictions (cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, pornography, sex sins, etc.) It could be a miraculous deliverance from the sex slave market or a kidnapping situation, or a release from prison.

A great blessing can come in many forms and ways - and always through the hand of Almighty God [El Shaddai]. Think upon these things - BP -End note]

Answers to any of these prayers are great blessings!

Fear not-greater is He (Jesus)
in you than he (Satan) that is in the world

Fear Not

Do not fear Satan or any demon, or any enemy of the cross, whether in the spiritual or in the physical. Fear not, despite all the evil you see being unleashed upon the earth. Yes, it is intensifying and grievous, and shall continue. So it is written; so it shall be. My will shall be accomplished. My Word is true, and I warned you not to be deceived...and that these last of last days would wax worse as sin abounds.

So shall My Word be that goes forth out of My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing where I sent it. [Is55:11]

Satan's wrath has been loosed for a time; yes, but he knows that his time is short. [Rev 12:12] Look to Me and abide, for I AM your strength, your wisdom, your discernment, your all-in-all. Obedience ... My peace I give you, not as the world gives, but the peace I give passes all understanding. [Phil 4:7]

Let not your heart be troubled; neither be afraid. [Jn 14:1]

Rise up! It's your time. Rise, My child, for I AM with you. This shall turn around as surely as in days gone by. Watch and see what I shall do for you. Trust in Me and wait, as difficult as it is and has been.

Watch, pray, and feed upon My Word (Bible). 

I have gathered every tear, heard every sigh, and acknowledged every prayer. Blessed are those who wait for Me.

It is written: Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.[Phil 1:6]

Do not give up just before the finish line.

People see the uptick in storms and unusual weather patterns and try to explain it away in some logical, scientific way. All is in My competent hands. The world has changed and continues to change. 

Very little is the same as it was. Floods, fires, earthquakes, all are increasing in frequency and intensity. This was stated years ago, yet it continues to escalate. The earth is travailing as a woman in labour; it is in great pain. You entered the beginning of sorrows some years back; it increases. It does not take a prophetic eye to see. 

Leaders are being removed. The Antichrist/beasts are about to rise up and make their presence known. The Antichrist will bring a false peace, and 'order out of chaos'.

(Note: I, Bonita, can sense him and have for some length of time now, but I press in to Jesus, and I stay in the Word, and in prayer. Do the same, my friend. Stay close to Jesus; you cannot go wrong - BP End note)

My people are coming to a place where I have led (and for others, I am leading) them, through the wilderness, through the darkness, through the tunnels of fog and confusion, through the fire, and through the water. 

I AM helping you
Take hold - rise up!

Fear not. I am helping you in ways that you have not even perceived. I have heard your prayers for your loved ones, and all that concerns you. Trust Me. Answers are coming. Why do you think the enemy is doing all he can to halt you? Rise above depression and hopelessness with a garment of praise, and a determination to trust Me 

Yes, great trouble is coming, but you are here for a reason, and it is not a platitude, but a fact... You were born for this very time period.

I am not the author of confusion, but of peace. [Cor 14:33] I AM bringing all who are Mine to a place where they shall stand until the appointed time when I gather My people up. The winds are blowing - change is in the air. Selah

For whatsoever is born of God [Adonai] overcomes the world: and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith. [1Jn 5:4]

And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. [Rev15:2]

Penned for His glory

Addendum: 

It is the time in history when our plans must be the Lord's plans. Satan is preparing for the unveiling (revealing) of his 'chosen' one. God makes all things right that Satan has made wrong - in His timing, and in His way - even when we do not agree or understand; His way is best.

Satan looks for people's vulnerabilities. He looks for chinks in the armour, a point of entry where he can cast his hook with the intent to ensnare and defeat us. He finds his way "in" (the chinks) through unconfessed sin, besetting or habitual sin (strongholds), bitterness, unforgiveness, and giving in to temptation. 

The hook is baited with tasty morsels of our favourite things, that is, whatever the flesh lusts after or desires the most. Jesus helps us when we cry out to Him. He is our Intercessor in the heavenly courts, our Advocate. Trust Him. We are all fighting something; all have weak areas - this flesh fails us, but greater is Jesus!

For you shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.[Is 55:12]

Time to Obey

In case you missed yesterday's post: Season of Silence  

These are some of the things the Lord shared with me over the course of a few days. Some was given all at once; some over course of the day after prayer. As always, take it to the Lord.

March 25, 2019

It is time! Now I have corrected you and you have received it. Now is the time to rise up, for I have given you strength. I have reached out My hand and pulled you up. You are no victim of Satan. You are a well-trained warrior.

I AM the Lord of the battle and I have sent forth holy angels to guard you and to keep you. They obey My commands. I have risen up and say, “Enough.” So many of those who call themselves by My name seek Me, they seek and seek and seek, but they will not obey and turn from their sinful ways. 

[see 2Chron 7:14, 15]

But there are those who have laid down their lives and daily STRIVE to carry their cross and do well. Though they may stumble, they do not fall. Then there are those who STRIVE to enter into the strait gate and are not able to [Lk13:24]; [because they will not let go of their sin!]. Though they may falter and stumble, they are quick to repent and continue on, often relying on Me for strength in their weaknesses.

I warned of a storm on the horizon. I warned that it is intensifying. I warned that things are escalating. Great is the evil of these days. Great is the wickedness upon the earth. It is indeed as in the days of Noah and Sodom and Gomorrah. Violence is global. Hearts are becoming cold and desensitized. The gift of life is taken without thought or regret. Abominations are accepted under a false banner of ‘love’.

Compromise rules! Blasphemies and heresies against Me are accepted, even encouraged. There is no fear of God among the masses. Idols and false gods and goddesses are worshipped. People exalt one another and say, “It is good what we do!”

The spirit of Jezebel manipulates and controls people in all arenas. She has seduced the multitudes. Her prostitutes not only fornicate with the world in the arena of music, sports or politics, but they fornicate with the leaders and the congregations in many of the synagogues and the churches throughout the earth.

How far the people have strayed from Me. I would have gathered you like a hen with her chicks under her wings, but you would not. Though I still cry out to Jerusalem, I also cry out to the “churches”, those who say they are the called-out assembly, but they are fornicating with the world. They have allowed seducing spirits in and teach for profit the doctrine of demons.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you that kill the prophets and stone them which are sent to you; how often would I have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not!  [Mat 23:37]

Moral decline is now out of control, as laws are changed to appease the people. Witchcraft is embraced and glorified. Satan has deceived the whole world.

Many cry out, “Why Lord, why do you allow this?” “How long will you stand afar off and do nothing?” “When Lord, when?”

My timing is not as that of mankind, for I am the Creator of it; therefore, I am not contained by it. The prophets of old forewarned of these days. I answered the question of the apostles who asked what would be the sign of the end times and the sign of My return.

Though much is not understood about how everything will pan out, be at peace, knowing I am fully aware and fully in control. Evil has its day of rejoicing, but the time comes when it shall no longer be.

Indeed, I have spoken through many who have warned of the earth splitting open violently (earthquakes) in divers places. Warnings of great waters covering the lands (not just tsunamis but floods) and bringing death and destruction have been trumpeted. Bursts of hot elements (volcanoes) spewing forth destruction.

Those which have occurred are nothing compared to that which is coming (fast approaching).

Pray for those in New York and in Washington, DC. Woe to those on coastal lands. Woe to Damascus and Gaza. Woe to My people in the land of Israel who are preparing to welcome the false Messiah. Pray for one another. Pray for the people of Israel, of Damascus, of Gaza. Pray for your own country and all that I place on your heart by My spirit.

Do you hear the thunderous sound of troops marching? Do you hear the sound of the trumpet? Fast and pray in these tumultuous times. Seek Me while there is yet peace in your land, for the time comes when the focus shall shift to the horrors of the West, as well as the Middle East.

March 26, 2019

Pray for those in the dangerous lands. Pray for the lost. Pray for one another. Be strong and courageous for the days grow ever darker for the world and for My people.  Yet those who abide in Me shall shine brightest in the darkest hours.  [John 1:5]

March 27, 2019

(Note** - To those who refuse to let go of their sin, expecting God to magically take it, rather than laying it down and overcoming…it has gone on for years, even decades – pay attention; one last chance. BP)

Mark this day and heed My words. I have heard your prayers and know your struggles. You must decide this day, no more or all is lost. Do not force My hand to pass your destiny to another. Hear Me. Quit disobedience. Replace unbelief with faith, and fear with trust!

I will not contend longer. Do not hand victory to the enemy. Rise up or stand down!

This is not to be cruel. It is a reality. How long have you put off overcoming?Check and see the times you are in. Choose this day whom you will serve, either Me or Ba’al. Yet IF you obey My voice this day, I will bring all I promised to pass – obedience has its rewards. Obedience brings blessing.

Wait on Me, but first choose. Selah

March 28, 2019

Things are moving fast. Soon things take place like a domino effect. Many have sounded warnings over the years, just as prophets of old did. I always give fair warnings – often decades before a thing occurs, for I am not contained within time and space, for I AM the Creator of these.

A quick work, a quick work, a quick work shall I do – it shall come – suddenly and unexpectedly. Now it begins. The cloud is moving – Prepare. Christ Jesus soon returns. I have said that I see the end from the beginning. I know all things. I am uniting My people, the true believers, My remnant in this time of increasing apostasy. That which was foretold long ago is now coming to pass.

Continue to watch and pray. Pray for all I put on your heart for I am putting different things on the hearts of My people, so that as “one Body” the prayers cover all, for one or two alone cannot cover all things in prayer.

The holdup for some who are awaiting answers to prayers, or to see dreams and visions come to fruition is obedience. Did I not often remind you that the obedience of one affects many as surely as the disobedience of one does?  (think upon Jesus and Adam, obedience versus disobedience)

And Samuel said, Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, obedience is better than sacrifice and listening better than the fat of rams. [1Sam 15:22]

Pharaoh is about to call Joseph out of prison (think deeply upon this). I am positioning My people. Things are escalating – great troubles are coming upon the world. My people have long waited and hoped.

Rise up! Be strong and courageous. Many are receiving the fruition of long awaited dreams and visions. Many others have been and are being slaughtered for their faithfulness to Me. Do not try to understand and figure it all out. Stay in My Word. Keep far from pride. Walk humbly and circumspectly.

I told you, just as you believed, just as you OBEYED…This is now the time. Wait…suddenly, unexpectedly. Remember also the counterfeiter. Satan knows his time is short. Tread carefully and keep a repentant heart. Walk in love, yet with discernment and wisdom. Heed the voice of My Spirit and keep your lamps filled with oil.  Selah

March 30, 2019

Famine and hunger are coming to places that have not seen it for decades upon decades. The dominoes are in place and the “push” is coming. It will start slow and build momentum; until all comes crashing down. Fear not.

This is the hour to be humble and seek My face, pray and obey. I am calling My people to holiness and righteousness. How often have I urged My people to return to the old paths, yet many greedy shepherds and false teachers are scattering My sheep in different directions, away from the strait and narrow path.

Cry out for the lost - intercede. Those with a backbone (My strength) will speak truth, and when they do, they will witness angry faces, stopped ears and words of protest and denial, just as My prophets of old and My apostles did.

Stay strong for the day of salvation is nigh at hand. Occupy, occupy till I come. [Lk 19:13] Do not argue about the day of the resurrection of the saints who died in Me and await that hour. Neither argue or debate about when the catching up of those who are alive in Me shall occur. Be ready at all times.

Watch and pray! Whether it is early (pre-trib) or late (mid or post-trib), concern not yourself, but rather keep your lamps filled with oil. My people argue over foolish things. I say occupy and endure, and be prepared for none know the hour, not even the angels in heaven, but My Father alone knows. However, My people can know the season; they see the signs.

As for those awaiting the fruition of the reality of long-awaited dreams, prayers and visions to be seen as a witness of My Sovereignty, promises and power, think upon it this way. Again I say this.

Pharaoh is about to call Joseph from the prison…

A drought and famine is coming upon the lands of My people (physically and spiritually). Yea, it has begun. Keep strong. Stay prepared in heart, mind and soul by obedience. Stay close to Me (abiding) and I shall direct your steps as you trust in Me and obey.

Do not be dismayed or downtrodden, nor look around in terror, for the day of Christ is at hand.

Put away the unclean thing and walk holy, then shall you be sons and daughters of Mine. Stand fast. Seek good and not evil that you may live, so the Lord God of hosts shall be with you, as you have spoken.  [see Amos 5:14, 16]

But this thing I commanded them saying, “Obey My voice and I will be your God, and you shall be My people: and walk you in all the ways I commanded you, that it may be well with you.” [Jer 7:23]

Do not be like those Jeremiah spoke to who would not listen or incline their ear, but walked in the counsels and the imaginations (stubbornness) of their evil heart and went backward and not forward.

(End of messages)

An Exhortation

Though God warned the people through His messengers, repeatedly, with great patience for years, they would not listen or obey. They continued on in their sin as they always had, blaming God, saying, “He does not deliver!” But the reality is: though the prison door was open, they were afraid to walk through.

All they had to do was walk forward, trusting God, but they would not. God grieved and shut the door.

                                   †                  †                   †          

(One last message) Warning! Let the above not be said of you. I chastise those I love – those who are Mine. Walk forward NOW, My child!

(Note: - The next message expounds on the last few paragraphs.)
