Yellow Rose Promises

Yellow Rose Promise

For nothing is secret that shall not be made manifest; neither anything hid, that shall not be known and come to light (out into the open). [Lk8:17]

For have you wearied in believing your life is a desert life, with nothing but dryness and hopelessness stretched out far ahead, and nothing but the sands of time rippling in uneven, haphazard rows behind you, seemingly random and without pattern?

Can you not see the oasis of hope where My promises flourish over the parched land you travel? Have I not walked with you and often carried you, when your strength failed and life made you dizzy? Can you not see with your spiritual eyes? Has the enemy tossed you to and fro so fiercely that the “sands of time” have temporarily blinded your eyes?

Has he seduced you into pacing back and forth like a caged animal? Has he beguiled you into believing I have turned My eyes away from you, or that I have forgotten you along the shores of hope? Do you feel like one grain of sand amidst the unsearchable and innumerable grains of sand upon that same shore?

Have you aborted the vision with the instruments of deception that the enemy planted in your mind? Or did you toss out the tainted weaponry smeared in unbelief and come running to Me? Look and see; My arms are open, yet many are they that have no time for Me.

I say, Come, seek Me whilst I can still be found, for there is much I long to tell you. Yet, if you find no time to be with your king, then I sorrow with you, knowing you endanger yourself – a trap is set so that many will choose to fall away in the end.

Come, come unto Me you who are weary and heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. [Mat 11:28]

Let Us Sup Together

Seek Me, you who are humble [Zeph 2:3], and you will find Me when you seek Me with all your heart. [Jer 29:13] Come and let us sup together. [Rev 3:20]

Call to Me and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you know not. Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man shall hear My voice and open the door, I will come to Him and will sup with Him, and he with Me. [Jer 29:13; 33:3; Rev 3:20]

If fear and uncertainty are knocking at the door of your heart, come to Me. Fast and pray and seek My face [Neh 1:4], for I have been calling for My own to come away from all that distracts and spend more time with Me. The flesh has its own desires and wants, but I ask that you lay that down, and sacrifice a little more time with Me right now, so that I may instruct you, comfort you, build you up. 

Direction and strength are what My people need to steer through the wreckage of these turbulent days. Tempers flare, accusations sound out, finger pointing has become more prominent, and the enemy laughs with great pleasure over the division, the dividing, he has and is causing among the masses.

For if you live after the flesh, you shall die: but if you through the Spirit do mortify the deed of the body, you shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. [Rom 8:13-15]

Overcome the flesh with the help of My Spirit, and discipline yourself to come into My presence and stay awhile. You need Me, and I AM here. I will guide you through these days, step by step, but it must be a two-way street, and you must trust Me.

Read My Word for I shall speak to you through it. I shall confirm what My Spirit speaks deep within, in that still, small voice…deep within the chambers of your heart (spirit). If I revealed matters to king Nebuchadnezzar, trust that I shall reveal things to My children, especially when they sacrifice the wants of the flesh to spend time with Me.

But there is a God in heaven that reveals secrets, and makes known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Your dream, and the visions of your head upon your bed are these; [Dan 2:28]

Make Acts 4:27-30 personal, if you have faith to believe that I AM still the same yesterday, today and forever [Heb 13:8], and that I AM pleased to give good gifts to My children. [Mat 7:11] Things are moving swiftly, so swiftly that even the blind have become aware, as the moving winds pass by them.

Be strong and of good courage, for as I urge you to come into My presence and stay awhile, stay long enough to connect your heart with Mine, in oneness, in love, in Spirit and in truth. Allow Me to strengthen you further, to feed your spirit and to quench the thirst brought on by the dry lands you have been walking through.

Do not forget the works and wonders, no matter how trivial, no matter how grand, that I have done in your life, and in the lives of your forerunners. Indeed, I AM well able to furnish a table in the wilderness, and bring forth manna from heaven, or meat in abundance, or waters to refresh you that come forth from a rock.

Highway of Holiness

I AM calling you forth, to walk the way of holiness, where the unclean shall not pass over. Come so that I can strengthen the weak hands that have tired (wearied), and steady the knees that give way in weakness, from much use and fatigue.

Be strong and fear not. Have I not always said to be strong and of good courage? I shall cause your eyes to see that which was hidden by the enemy; as I rip the veil of illusion away. My people cry out for truth in these days when truth is a stranger. Come to Me, for I AM the way, the truth and the life. Through Me, I shall bring you to the Father. [Jn 14:6]

The shadows of evil threaten, but they have far to reach to cast a shadow upon the highway of holiness. It is a road that the evil adversaries dare not approach, let alone travel. 

If you have cried out as one wearied in walking in the wilderness and the solitary place, I say I am here to refresh you…but it requires that you draw near first.

Come near and witness the rose blossom in the desert. Witness it flourish. Rejoice with singing and thanksgiving, for now I have spoken in the silence. Now My arms are open. All who repent will know the peace of My arms wrapped around them in forgiveness and acceptance. I uphold you, for I AM He who will strengthen you. [Is 41:10]

Selah

[End of message]

[Note**: I was aware of yellow roses throughout this time with the Lord (Adonai), hence, the title. I wondered about it and decided to check it out. It is amazing! 

                  

Keep in mind that Yeshua/Jesus is known as the Rose of Sharon.

It turns out that spiritually, yellow rose is symbolic for several things. What caught my attention first was that it was symbolic for “being in God’s presence”, “wisdom”, “joy”, “glory of God” and “faith – anointing of God”.

Yellow is representative of the colour gold, which in turn represents God’s holiness, His majesty and His divine nature. One thing I heard long ago was that a yellow rose meant “friendship”. That is precious. BP)

And the scripture was fulfilled which says, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the FRIEND of God. [Yahweh/YHWH] [Jam 2:23]

So simple a child can become a friend of God – BELIEVE GOD!

Incredible Times

My apologies for delayed posting, but I have been unwell fighting the flu the past two weeks. Howbeit, praise to God, He has brought me through it..although I still get somewhat fatigued easily, it is going to be alright. Hallelujah! Hope to post tomorrow...although it may take two or three separate posts to share the full message that is upon my heart.

There is such a loud warning to God's dedicated people, the disciples/followers of Jesus the Messiah, the Nazarene, to keep watchful, prayerful and obedient to the commandments, as Yeshua instructed. The darkness of these days is foreboding; even the secular world, from young to old, sees it.

However, most are choosing to not talk too much about the sinful state the world is in, how love has waxed cold and how hard the hearts of people have become.  But rather, the choice is to deny it, by saying "that's life...get over it", or people are embracing the "liberty" that they believe this open rebellion to God allots. Witchcraft and "new age" for the coming "new world" is being promoted.

Also, please keep Israel in prayer. There are brethren there who know the Messiah came once and are awaiting His return just as the rest of us (God's children of obedience) are. The end times in prophecy are centered around Israel and the Middle East, and surrounding nations.

I keep coming across scripture that speaks of Israel appearing to be mostly safe, but then from the north the enemies come against Israel. These are turbulent, unpredictable times, but the worst has not yet happened. things are escalating and moving at incredible speed.

We must share the good news about the cross of Jesus, His death, resurrection and ascension, paving the only way back to the Father (salvation, redemption, atonement) and the way to be forgiven of our sins. We too must carry our own cross daily, dying to self (our fleshly desires and appetites that Satan seeks to tempt us in), and overcoming the flesh step by step, day by day. We can rejoice in the fact that by the spilling of His precious blood, the Lamb of God (Jesus/Yeshua) provided a way back to the one, true Living God.

Hell is a reality, for if it were not, why would Jesus say that the "gates of hell" would not prevail against the church? When His disciples were saying that some thought He was John the Baptist, and some thought He was Elijah, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets, Jesus/Yeshua asked, "But whom do you say that I am?"

Peter answered, "You are the Messiah (Christ), the Son of the living God." Jesus stated to Peter (Simon Barjona) that he was blessed because no man (flesh and blood) revealed that knowledge to him, but His Father in heaven revealed it to Peter.

Messiah then said to Peter that upon this rock (the 'rock' being the fact or revelation that He (Jesus/Yeshua) is the Christ, the Son of the living God), He would build His church and the "gates of hell shall not prevail against it." (would not triumph over or conquer it).

And that He would give us (disciples) the keys of heaven, that whatsoever we bind on earth is bound in heaven, and whatsoever we loose in earth shall be loosed in heaven.  [see Matthew 16:14-19]

It is a time to walk humbly and obediently. It is time to keep on your armour...ever remembering that we have a very real adversary (Satan/Lucifer) and his armies - many are the enemies of the cross and of Jesus Christ, both spiritually and physically. That is reality!

for His glory

Believe - I Do Things Suddenly

 (I am unsure when this was first published, but as I read and prayed, the Lord added some to it. Take all things in prayer to the Lord -BP 2017)

Believe - I Do Things Suddenly

O LORD, how long shall I cry, and You will not hear! even cry out unto You of violence, and You will not save! Why do You show me iniquity (injustice), and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention.

Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment does never go forth: for the wicked does compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceeds. (justice perverted)  [Hab 1:2-4]

Many question My Sovereignty in this hour when faith is being tried as never before. "Where is justice? Why do you You stand afar off and allow such horrors to take place?"  Many of My people are crushed in spirit at all that is happening, yet I promise you that I am with you, even now.

Hearts filled with sorrow, grief, anger, doubts; confusion abounds and the enemy whispers, "Where is your God now?"  Shut out the voice of the adversary, for only I know the reason behind all things. Sin abounds in this world; human error and choices between doing what is right and what is wrong is still a reality.

When things happen that do not make sense, you must trust that nothing has escaped Me. I DO work all things together for good [Romans 8:28], but in the midst of pain and sorrow, nothing makes sense. I know your frame; I remember that you are but dust. Yet, I say to you, will you trust Me through this?

Multitudes whisper, "Nothing happens that God does not allow." They readily lay even the consequences of sin at My feet, indirectly blaming Me for all that goes wrong in this world.

There is truth in the statement, yet does what I allow mean that everything is My will? Are abortions, murders, suicides, illegal drug use, incest, adultery, fornication, betrayals, false doctrines, witchcraft and much more…are these such things My will? Consider carefully!

If I intervened and intercepted every vile word, action or deed (all sins), most, if not all, would accuse Me of reneging on the gift of the power to choose. I promise you that justice shall be served in the end. 

I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.

A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgement was set, and the books were opened. [Dan 7:9, 10]

And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the book were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to his works.  [Rev 20:11-13]

The hearing and knowledge of that will not satisfy most in their darkest hours, yet I assure you that if you will but trust Me through all situations, no matter how mysterious, unfounded, unfair or seemingly untimely, the day will come when you will see that in My wisdom and omniscience, I allowed what I allowed for good reason and purpose.

I can handle your outbursts of anger, frustration and all else that you may bring to Me in your emotional turbulence. Be careful not to murmur and complain, but find it within yourself to thank Me that I consider you worthy to face these trials and challenges (as I did My servant Job, Joseph and others).

It is better to approach Me in honesty than hypocrisy. When the storm passes and you calm yourself once again, you will repent and turn from everything that you know is not of Me, if you truly love Me and I am ever ready to forgive.  

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. he that goes forth and weeps, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing bringing his sheaves with him. [Ps 126:5-6]

Indeed, I will hear and forgive, and My compassion will be upon you. I will cast all your sins into the depths of the sea.

Who is a God like unto you, that pardons iniquity, and passes by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? He retains not his anger forever because he delights in mercy.

He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and you will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.  [Micah 7:18, 19]

If you will find the strength to lay all your life down upon the altar (hopes, dreams, plans, emotions, feelings...your very life) and TRUST Me enough to WAIT upon Me (my timing), and OBEY My instructions in FAITH, then I shall indeed give you beauty for ashes. 

I shall turn your sorrow into joy and clothe you in robes of righteousness. You shall be as a tree planted by the waters...if you will but hold fast to your faith, despite all the outward circumstances. Indeed, I shall avenge. I AM a God of grace, mercy and love, but also of justice, judgment and righteousness. Selah

To appoint unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He might be glorified.  [Is 61:3]

Shut not your eyes as one blind, nor harden your heart against Me in your dark hour, for I will yet come and bless you if you will surrender all, lay it all down, and trust and wait upon Me.

This is the time to turn your eyes toward Me and not away from Me. There is a very real adversary that hates all of mankind, but particularly My people, those who follow after Me and seek Me in earnest, willing to abide, trust and obey, even when their faith is shaken. 

Do not go by your feelings or emotions. Do not go by outward appearances, for in the twinkling of the eye, it can all change. Hold fast to your shield of faith. I AM your shield, your strong tower, your refuge.

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.  [Heb 11:6]

If My people would only know what is around the corner, they would be stronger. Yes, horrific things are coming, as foretold, yet I say to you, the Bride is being prepared - and astounding things not heard of are about to take place.

For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither has the eye seen, O God, beside You, what He has prepared for him that waits for Him. [Is 64:4]

Set your face as a flint. Repent where you know you must, yea, but do not be a victim of condemnation when you walk after the Spirit and not after the flesh.

Keep on your armour; fast and pray, be alert! Give thanks and praise even when you do not feel like it, for great is the reward after humility is expressed. Above all, faith, trust and obedience!

But now, O LORD, You are our father; we are the clay, and Your our potter; and we all are the work of Your hand.  [Is 64:8]

But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.  [Jn 4:23, 24]

I am moving on your behalf. This battle is Mine and I have commanded My holy angels to do My bidding.  

For it is written, He will give his angels charge over you, to keep you:

For he shall give his angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.  [Lk 4:10; Ps 91:11]

Wait, I say, wait upon My timing, for that which you have long awaited is upon you. It does not tarry.

For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.  [Hab 2:3]

Breakthrough is coming by My hand alone.  

And David came to Baalperazim, and David smote them there, and said, The Lord has broken forth upon my enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baalperazim.  [2 Sam 5:20; see also 1 Chron 14:11]  
Baalperazim means "Lord of bursting through"; "Lord of breaking through". 

It shall come suddenly, swiftly and without warning, for I often move in such manner. 

And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly.  [2Chron 29:36]

And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.  [Acts 2:2]

And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone's bands were loosed.  [Act 16:26]

You have waited long, but I say wait a little longer, for it shall come upon you suddenly. Hold fast to faith, keeping your eyes upon My Son Jesus (Yeshua), trust and obey.  Only believe and be patient...just a little longer. It is time. The time is upon you -  I shall do it suddenly!

Jesus said unto him, If you can believe, all things are possible to him that believes.  [Mk 9:23]

I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of My mouth, and I showed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.  [Is 48:3]

for His glory alone
