He Went to the Cross for All

 

Whom Jesus sets free
is free indeed!

And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give you rest from your sorrow, and from your fear, and from the hard bondage wherein you were made to serve, [Is 14:3]

In the day when I cried You answered me, and strengthened me with strength in my soul. [Ps138:3]

Jeremiah was in a dark night of the soul, a very painful time mentally. He had even cursed the day of his birth, asking why could his mother not have been his grave (meaning, why could he not have been stillborn?) 

Instead, he came forth out of the womb, to labour and sorrow, and days that were consumed with shame. Jeremiah was known as the weeping prophet. He grieved over sin, the condition of the people and the judgment of God those sins brought forth. The prophet was misunderstood, mistreated and very lonely.

 

But Adonai is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten. 

Jeremiah - weeping prophet

But, O LORD of hosts, that tries the righteous, and sees the reins and the heart, let me see Your vengeance on them: for to You alone have I opened my cause. 

Sing unto the LORD, praise the LORD: for He has delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers. [Jer 20:11-13]

Below I write from an old journal, putting here what I am led to put here. This is the last day of a seven-day fast. My heart has been to seek God, as He has patiently been asking all children of light to do (and any else who will listen), to keep in prayer and be obedient to His leading.

It has also been about surrender (wholly), keeping a repentant heart, allowing correction and any thing to be removed from me (whether thought, word or deed) that is not of Him.

For all of us, it remains a work until the day we leave this world, and this corrupted flesh. Yet meanwhile, the Lord began a work in all of us when we were born again, continuing it until the day we pass, or the day Christ returns, whichever comes first.

Jesus went to the cross
for you, for me - for ALL

Taken from one of my numerous journals. This one is older, but I noticed that throughout the years I would make notes or references I go through my books randomly, when and if led. Sometimes they sit for years. Below is from an old journal…

[Message starts]

Nov. 7, 2012 – [Lord] >> “Now it begins…” Now – there is a great divide among the people, and anger and rebellion is stirred up as a troubled hornet’s nest.

The West shall be in great pain; they shall be greatly hurt. The backbone of America is broken; it is severely fractured. The days of great woes, great sorrows is coming, but also great blessings that many have waited for.

 

                                         [5 months later]

 

On April 9, 2013, the Lord said (He speak deep within my spirit person): “The strategies and tactics of those who follow Satan (Lucifer) have been employed a long time. The desire for a one-world government and ruler did not expire when the building of the Tower of Babel ended, or with the death of Nimrod.

 

The plans have been carried out covertly. The adversary is patient to a degree now that he knows his time is short. All has escalated. Although some things are happening covertly still, there is less concern about hiding things.

Satan (Lucifer) and demons are proud and have lifted themselves up brazenly. They have been called forth by evil people through rituals, ‘prayers’, and blood sacrifices.

This is a multi-layered, multi-dimensional structure that is being carried out by those on the dark side, both in the physical and in the spiritual realms.

 

[Note: I understood the Lord to mean “unholy” prayers (witches and those in the occult do call them prayers – Lucifer’s counterfeit). I understand multi-layered to mean from the average person to the oligarchs.

This  just added today for this post, April 6, 2026: >> “Oligarchs are extremely wealthy and powerful people who rule or heavily influence a government, typically in a small group known as an oligarchy.”

SOURCE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligarchy  BP]

 

There are evil entities in all physical levels: Media, arts and entertainment, judicial, social, business, educational, military, religion. I understand multi-dimensional to cover from physical (flesh and blood), to AI [artificial intelligence], 3-D prints, holograms, teleports, to spiritual realms (remote viewing, occult and demonic).

 

But born-again children of salt and light have Jesus/Y’shua.

Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. [Jn 15:13]

The days are grossly dark and steadily growing darker. All My people see this who are abiding and cleaving to Me. [Note: This was written April 2013, nearly 9 years ago => Mar 5/22]

 

Do not walk in fear and unbelief. Walk by faith and not by sight. [2Cor 5:7] Remember I AM for you and not against.

Do not look around you in terror or dismay. I forewarn My people. I always have. As you abide in Me, I reveal that which is to come. Wait upon Me; trust My timing. Hold fast to your faith. Stay strong in Me [Yeshua/Jesus]

 

Remember your warfare is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual wickedness in high places. [Eph 6:12]

 

Therefore, I urge you to keep on the full armour that I provided, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. [Eph6]

 

I lead one day at a time, one step at a time. My glory is about to fall upon the Body. (of Christ). What must be will be.

[End this  message]

I understood that Abba does not mean false prophets, false apostles, false teachers, or any [false ones] who hide behind the large shield of religion. But in God’s eyes, that shield does not cover them. They covet fame, [ill fame = notoriety], admiration, popularity, flattery, prosperity (wealth and riches).

They want the glory, but insist it is all for God, only He sees the heart. It does not matter how many “good deeds” (humanitarian) they do (whether that cause is for people, young to old, or for animals).

 

God alone sees the heart. Even when charming leaders say all the right words, say all the right scriptures, and do all the right things that impress the masses such as giving to worthy causes, if they are doing it for the wrong reasons, it does not impress God or bring Him glory (popularity, followers, possessions, or filthy lucre (though the majority deny having such desires or passions).

Most deny that what they doing any of the above – except Kenneth Copeland, Joyce Meyer, Jesse Duplantis, Oprah Winfrey, TD Jakes, or some other wolf [wolverine]. They do not feel guilty taking money from the poor. They brag that their riches are due to “faith”, being righteous (God’s anointed) and their good works.

 

They may be deceived but not know it. Everyone has a chance to repent and turn from sin as long as they have breath in their mouths, and be forgiven no matter how much wrong they have done (except blasphemy of the precious and Holy Spirit). Yes, all can be forgiven if they repent and turn – but sadly, most of the wolves will not until it is too late.

 

If they seek truth, God will reveal it. It will hurt (coming out of deception – I know, I have been deceived before), but the precious Saviour will forgive the broken and contrite heart, filled with godly sorrow. Then healing and restoration will come, for the sinner’s sake, and for the glory of Almighty God.

 

The lake of fire is real. Let us not be proud, for all of us missed the mark; all of us have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. [Rom 3:23]

 

Healing and restoration are about to occur throughout the Body. Indeed, it has begun. Rebuke fear and unbelief. Fear not. Look up for your redemption draws near.

 

Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God, to whom we send you; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of the LORD our God. 

Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid; be not afraid of him, says the LORD: for I AM with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand. [Jer 42:6;11]

 

April 11, 2013

Walk humbly with your God. [Micah 6:8]

 

As F.B. Meyer [English Baptist clergyman (1947-1929) once wrote:

 

“Few have known more sublime truth than Balaam [Mic 6:5], but he loved the wages of unrighteousness, and this eclipsed the divine radiance that became overcast and finally overwhelmed.” (End quote-BP)

 

Also be assured that much of what is going on in the headlines is a distraction from what is going on behind closed doors and within secret meetings. Indeed, you must be aware of all that is going on in the world, within your own neighbourhoods, and within your own households. Be wise as serpents and harmless as doves, for you are amongst wolves …in all the nations].

There are enemies in the camp. April 11, 2013

 

December 24, 2022

 

No obscurity in my way (the Lord had spoken this into my spirit).

[A personal word I received - I share publicly only with hope to help another]

Now you shall speak forth prophetic messages purely, for there are no obscurities in your way. You came under strong delusion because you would not receive the truth, but rather (turned) chased after a lie (an idol).

 

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. [2Thes 2:12]

 

I have written about this before off and on throughout the past couple of decades, and repeat briefly here for one reason and one reason alone. We all can compromise, but we will surely face consequences. Especially if compromise morphs into disobedience, such as what happened to me.

 

Although unsaved, when the Lord came to me at a time I was beaten physically beyond recognition, I made an unwise and costly choice. The Lord revealed to me that the man who beat me up (my boyfriend at the time, but who fled the province after beating me up so badly to avoid charges), was not to be my husband. The Lord was calling me, and what did I do?

 

I did not see it as disobedience or compromise, but it was that – and worse. Idolatry! I said, “O Lord, no!” (Like Paul on the road to Damascus, although unsaved, also recognized Jesus the LORD.)

 

Marriage happened four years after that day, with more breakups in-between and during the years, more abuse, and three beautiful children later. (The first child was born nine months after Jesus told me the woman beater was not to be my husband.) Two were born within the four years of marriage (with separations being nearly half of that 4 year commitment).

Idolatry – choosing a man over God (Jesus), which is worshipping the creation more than the Creator. Idolatry is anyone or anything that we honour and put before God Almighty.

Friend, if this is you, stop. The consequences can be horrific. The last time we separated was when I ended up in the hospital after a night of abuse. I was afraid to return home. He refused to turn the children over to my care (ages 1, 3, 7).

 

During those years, my husband divorced me for another woman. It took seven years in family court before the children were placed in my custody. Then we spent five years in criminal court for what he did to the children while in his care. He went to prison. That was 21 years ago. Consequences.

 

The Lord, in His mercy, did not allow me to be deceived anywhere else except in the area of ‘men’. Why? Because I chose a ‘man’ over him. Remember when Israel chose a ‘king’ over God? Idolatry – putting creation before the Creator. Same idea.

 

Over the course of decades, I tried to find a man who would love me, but it was not to be. Thirty-nine years; the day came when I finally came out of self-deception, the strong delusion the Lord allowed.

 

I had become a Christian after all that. The Lord had allowed me to wallow in waste, in the mire, the stench of sin was overwhelming. I cried out in brokenness and shame, seeing the foolish and wretched woman that I was.

Having been stubbornly blind to the truth, I ultimately repented with understanding godly sorrow and understanding. He forgave me. Jesus is good; His mercy endures forever.

You do not have thirty-nine years. All hell has broken out globally. Look at scripture and align the Word with today’s events. God’s Word is true. Do not allow anyone (saved or unsaved), or anything come before God. There are always consequences, and they are never good. 

December 15, 2018

When the mother of Zebedee’s children asked Jesus (Yeshua) to grant that her two sons could sit one on his right hand, and the other on his left when Jesus came into his kingdom, Yeshua answered:

 You know not what you ask. Are you able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? (And they said to him, We are able.) [Mat 20:21-22]

Then I heard the Holy Spirit whisper deep within me, “Do you remember how you pondered those words, and then slowly, yet naively, you said, “Me too, Lord. I am willing to drink of the same cup of suffering…?”

But just as those men did not know, you too had no idea…no idea what you were saying. In this hour of your suffering, My child, I say to you, Do not grieve over those who gloat victoriously and secretly laugh at you in this dark hour. For what has been done in darkness shall be brought into the light. Remember, how My accusers prided themselves of righteous indignation and laughed at My defeat?

But for the hardness of their hearts, I did not seek revenge. Instead, I looked up to the heavens and with the little strength I had left, cried out: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do…

As my blood poured out upon the hard ground, I gasped, “It is finished.” In utter brokenness and bearing the shame My accusers put upon Me, I breathed My last breath.

But the laughter ceased when on the third day, I rose up in victory. And now, My child, hear Me and believe this:

Though you are surrounded in complete darkness and those who hate you without just cause, secretly gloat at your defeat, I say to you, precious soul that your shame shall be no more. Even though you lie in utter brokenness now as one who is dead, hold fast to your faith, for the day approaches that you too shall rise up again in victory.

You have not allowed bitterness to take root in your heart, My child. You have not sought revenge. Instead, you sought forgiveness, for them – for yourself.

That is what the cross, the shedding of the blood, and My resurrection are all about.

He's alive! He's alive!
Yeshua/Jesus has risen.

What does the Lord require of you, but to do justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly before your God. [Micah 6:8]

Which also said, You men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall come again in the same manner that you have seen Him go into heaven. [Acts 1:11]

And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 

 

And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.  [Mat 24:30-31]

 

Folks, the signs are all around us…time is short. Keep a repentant heart; walk in love, but stand in and for truth. 

Saints, this world is not our home… Hallelujah - it is almost time!

For His glory alone

Discern the Hour

a loving parent
corrects and disciplines

(NOTE: Updated April 3, 2026 - I was asked the meaning of something today, so I have added a few paragraphs explaining the best I can about [Jezebel's] "lying prophetesses". Scroll down to the "violence - hearts waxing cold" picture - BP)

For whom the Lord loves He corrects, and disciplines those in whom He delights. [Heb 12:6] NLT

It is time. Now that I have corrected you and you received it, it is [also now] the time to rise up for I have given you strength. I have reached out My hand and pulled you up spiritually. You are no victim of Satan. You are a well-trained warrior. All My warriors go through intense training, hardships and testing that is double compared to others.[Is 40:2] The harder the training, the higher the purpose.

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. These are those who chose to remain when Satan rebelled. I AM the Lord of all creation.

My people have been travailing; many weeping over the condition of the world, the abundance of evil, and sins. Many have cried out for forgiveness, having repented with godly sorrow, as they continue their walk of faith with a ready and repentant heart. Multitudes have cried out for help to become all that I intended for them to be.

Forgive the Greatest Hurts

Forgiveness is something few offer when the offense has been most painful. To forgive is not always easy, but it is necessary. Yet Stephen the martyr forgave with his dying breath. He understood the Messiah's words upon the cross and he echoed them..."Father, forgive them."

Who has done you the most hurt? Will you forgive? 

For if you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if you refuse to forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your sins.  [Mat 6:14-15] NLT

The genuine believers have interceded faithfully, standing in the gap for multitudes. The prayers for the persecuted have been heart-felt and earnest. The days are here where persecution will increase globally. So it is written, so it shall be.

The weeping has been mingled with moaning and groaning for the lost, the prodigals, the deceived, for loved ones, for government leaders as well as for others in high places of influence and power.

My people pick up their cross daily, repenting when the flesh is weak and rebellious. They continue labouring to daily die to self, striving to overcome. It is a lifelong battle, but the joy comes when each sin is overcome, step by step, stumble, fall, arise…press on.  

The godly [righteous] may trip (fall) seven times, but they will get up [arise] again. But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked. [Prov 24:16]

They continue to rely on Me for strength in their weaknesses. We are one, I in them, and they in Me. These are My people.

[NOTE: This next part is a message from 2019 – 'only' God knows all things--BP]

I warned of a storm coming; it is intensifying. I warned that things are escalating. Great is the evil and wickedness of these days. It is indeed as in the days of Noah, and of Sodom, and of Gomorrah. 

violence-hearts waxing cold

Violence is global. Hearts are waxing cold and desensitized. The gift of life is taken by evil ones without thought. Abominations are accepted under the false banner of love.

The spirit of Jezebel has seduced the masses and they embrace her false prophets (of Ba’al) with open arms. They listen to her lying prophetesses and false teachers spewing forth doctrines of demons. Blasphemies and heresies against Me are accepted, even encouraged. There is no fear of God amongst the multitudes.

[NOTE: Someone asked about this, so this is what I understand. [Jezebel] 
"her lying prophetesses": 

It is understood that these are those who call themselves 'prophetesses'. Although with the aid of the internet, and to prove they are NOT false, these people will say, "I don't call myself a prophet", but if you listen carefully, in their testimony or in one of their 'teachings'. they do believe they are called to the "office of a prophet (prophetess) of God. Either that or something happened when they were young or unsaved that caused them to realize God had chosen them. 

Please understand - I am not discrediting true ones with such a history, but the false ones, the infiltrators: those with failed prophecies and false teaching (even if it's only partially false because remember, it has to contain truth or else few  would listen. That is what is so heart-breaking about deception.

It brings confusion; it is destructive. Unless one is grounded in the Word, or filled with the Holy Spirit and following His lead, they can be deceived. I have been deceived in my life, and sadly, I did not know I was until Jesus delivered me. It is when one comes out of the deception that then the blind eyes see and the deaf ears hear!  Praise Jesus.

If we are sinning, it is the main open door for deception, but Satan also goes for the unsaved, or the new converts. He is a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. He comes to steal, kill and destroy, but Christ came to give us abundant life (in and through Him). [Jn 10:10]

However, their doctrine is either completely false or a mixture. There is enough truth in these teachings to seduce the people, but lies are mixed in. (It is like rat poison: 98% good food and 2% poison, and it is the little bit, the 2% that kills). People, for the most part, love truth and it is because of the 'truth' that these types, these false ones are convincing. 

Truth attracts, but it is the crafty, subtle manipulation or twisting of the doctrine that deceives people. It is the same seducing spirit that caused Eve to doubt and fall into temptation, being deceived.

Many lean towards [1] prosperity (charismatic/evangelical), OR [2] prosperity/Word of Faith [<=most popular today]-very political/ NAR mixture, OR  3] New Age / occult - these are main ones, but there are others.

But the self-proclaimed prophetesses (note that in the Bible, Jezebel did not call herself a prophetess in a strict sense) today are compared to Jezebel for a few reasons (see book of Revelation) 

The biblical Jezebel promoted foreign 'gods' [Ba'al and Asherah] and used her high place in society (position) to promote false prophets. We see many 'prophetesses' placed in the "high places" in the Christian arena today, often promoting (other) mostly male, false prophets. They are countless.

Many have hundreds, if not thousands, of followers who snap at anyone who says anything negative against their "prophet" or "teacher" (such as mentioning failed prophesies, or how in just a few years they became millionaires, or false doctrine thrown in). Yet, people INSIST they are not into idolatry, but they must get their 'daily dose' of prophecy.

I remember when the holy Spirit spoke deep within me stating that many have replaced daily horoscopes with a "daily prophetic word". This grieves the Lord when people seek out the "prophets" or "prophetic" to know what is going on, rather than seeking God. If we are not bowing before a statue, we do not see "idolatry" in its many forms - anything that comes before God. 

The typical line from the prophets (who do not 'claim' to be prophets), as well as their followers is "touch not God's anointed and do their prophets no harm". That is taken out of context because it is clearly speaking about Israel (the nation) and the patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. 

The people in other nations, and other kingdoms had a warning. Adonai reproved kings, and wanted no man to do His people harm. It was for then. Israel had many prophets, including Abraham, who were anointed. [1Chron 16:15-22]

Yet people use it to "protect" either themselves or their idols -- (err, that is the folks they support because they insist they do not have idols), to halt negative speech against them.

Nevertheless:...

The Jezebel spirit is a reality I believe [Rev 2:20], just like Jesus spoke about the spirit of John the Baptist, or the spirit of Elijah. Those mentioned were NOT John the Baptist or Elijah because there is no such thing as reincarnation in Christianity, but what is mentioned is that they are a "type" or "shadow" of the original.

It is possible that at the time John wrote Revelation that another "Jezebel" was around, but I tend to think it is a "type" of Jezebel (same evil spirit). The original taught people things, and murdered prophets. She was wicked, even having a godly man, Naboth, killed for his vineyard to satisfy Ahab's covetousness. 

However, unlike the original, there are those who infiltrate the church, and call themselves "prophetess" (only it is mostly in an underhanded way as opposed to flat out announcing it). There are countless false prophets and teachers who are worshipped by hundreds, some even thousands, EVEN IF they have had several failed prophecies or teach false doctrines, some even teaching heresy (Rev. 2:20).

There are many today who have scrubbed old videos with false prophecies (thank God for the people who downloaded the originals) and doctored old articles. Many have have two, three or more websites, not to mention being on nearly every available social media platform. 

People will be directed to the site that has the 'corrected' articles or scrubbed videos. They have 'staff' or a 'team' that helps. People have caught this action and proved it by posting older stuff. I do believe the part about "Jezebel has her lying prophetesses" to be speaking specifically about the charismatic, popular, prophetic types, who branch off into teaching. Failed prophecies and doctrines with error, and some that are doctrines of demons, as it is written (foretold). 

Idolatry (seducing spirits in the churches), fornication (seducing spirits; unclean spirits) and eating food offered to false gods (unclean spirits; foul spirits) is happening today, and it is not just in the Hindu religion, or Moon cult religions. End note BP]

Idolatry

Idols (false gods and goddesses) are worshipped and cults are welcomed. Witchcraft is exalted, embraced, and glorified around the world. These are indeed the days where good is called evil and evil is called good.  Moral decline is now out of control as laws are changed to appease the people. Satan has deceived the entire world, but those who seek Me, abiding, will hear My instructions and will have the discernment required to avoid deception.

Dangerous days! Dark days! Many cry out, “Why Lord, why do You allow this?” “How long will You stand afar off, doing nothing Jesus (Yeshua)?” “When, Lord, when? My timing is not as mankind’s, for I AM the Creator of it; therefore, I AM not contained by or in 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. [Matthew 24] Although much is not understood about how this will all pan out, be at peace knowing that I AM fully aware and fully in control.

Evil has its day of rejoicing [Rev 12:12], but the time comes when it will no longer be so. Indeed, I have spoken to many about the earth splitting open violently (earthquakes) in different places. Warnings of great waters covering the lands, bringing death and destruction, have also been trumpeted.

Greece 2020

Sicily, Italy
late January 2026

Those which have occurred are nothing compared to that which is coming (fast approaching). Pray for those in Washington and New York. Woe to those on coastal lands. Woe to those in Damascus and Gaza. Woe to My people in the land of Israel who are preparing to welcome the false Messiah. Pray for Israel. Pray for one another. Pray for your own country and all that I place upon 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, violent days.

(Note: I understand there are many different kinds of fasts. The Bible shows a few, but it is between the individual and the Lord. People want to fast something that has nothing to do with diet, but fasting (scripturally) always has to do with diet.

Read the scriptures if you doubt it. Whether you give up sweets, meats, and wine like Daniel, or do like Jesus [no food], allow the Lord, through His Holy Spirit to guide you individually. Medical conditions, physical abilities; there are factors to consider. It should always be between an individual and the Lord.  

Keep in mind that this next ‘part’ of the message was March 25, 2019 – six years ago almost to the day. As one can see, part has come to pass. This messenger is just that – the bringer of a message. ONLY Yahweh, through Christ Jesus, knows all things, not me – End note BP)     

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.

Pray for those in dangerous lands. Pray for one another, particularly the lost and the prodigals. Time is of the essence. Search My Word and see that it is true.

You did not choose Me, it is I who chose you. Before the foundation of the earth, I knew all things. Before you were in the womb, I knew you. I called you forth and ordained My plan for you.  All is in My competent hands, for I love My creation.

All who are Mine are awakening and have awakened. Those who are awake have heard My voice. I have tried and am trying the hearts. Rise up. Stand strong, fully armoured and prepared. Wait upon Me.  Be sober. Be vigilant for your adversary, as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour.

When Satan stood before Me challenging Job’s faith, integrity and his uprightness, Satan declared that he had just come from walking to and fro, and up and down upon the earth. Satan comes not but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy, but I have come to give life, and that more abundant.

Rise up. Prepare. All is coming into alignment. Those who worship the dark side have tampered with opening portals and vortexes as they spiritually knock upon the door of the demonic kingdom, in order to receive guidance (divination) from the demonic realm (Satan’s kingdom). AI assists with rituals and information for those seeking to practice.

Satan counterfeits. As I instruct people to seek Me, Satan tells people to come to him.  He brings the python spirit, a spirit of divination. Greater am I in My people, than Satan who is in the world. Again I say, I did not give you a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.    

It is now. The positioning is perfect, steps shall be ordered by Me through My Spirit and My Word. Each one is important and necessary –all is honorable.  You have learned (and still duly practice) to walk by faith and not by sight.

How difficult it is not to base faith on the circumstances during the severe trials, but you have risen to the level of counting on My strength, not yours; to overcome – to not look upon the raging seas, the forceful winds, or the stinging waters, but to look to Me.

Coming to Me, leaning on My strength, there is safety. When I speak, the calm returns, the peace that passes all understanding, the peace that the world cannot give.

Be patient just a little longer. Discern the hour.

for His glory alone

Now is the Time to Seek Him

 
                                  

For God speaks once, yea, twice, but man perceives it not. [Job 33:14]

El Shaddai, Yahweh of Israel, the one true, living God is moving across the lands. Exalt Jesus, not man, not any person. His message is clear – SEEK ME…pray. Some are called to fast…pray.

If My people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Now My eyes shall be open, and My ears attentive to the prayer that is made in this place. For now I have chosen and sanctified [consecrated] this house, that My name may be there forever: and My eyes and My heart shall be there perpetually [for all time]. [2Chron 7:14-15]

Seek! There it is again in these scriptures. How many times over the years have the saints been drawn to pay attention to these scriptures? There it is there… the Shepherd’s persistent call. Seek Me. And what do we do when we find the Lord? (He is omnipresent, everywhere…we do not have far to search). Then, we simply abide…wait in His presence.

Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can you, except you abide in Me. [Jn 15:4]

Sprinkled throughout the past two decades (since May 2008 when I first blogged on this site), the Lord has called out to people to ‘seek’ Him, to come closer [abide, cleave], to pray, to ask (make your requests known). [Phil 4:6]

However, for the past two months (give or take), it has been so consistent that I myself have made a more concerted effort to diligently obey [Heb 11:6] - - a more focused, more disciplined effort. It is a gentle nudging of the Lord that strongly suggests that prompt attention is needed. Sometimes, I pondered whether it was a time-sensitive matter.

The urgency, the intensity (strong, forceful); Jesus has been adamant and consistent. I have shared the message to all who may listen on the physical side (in person, on phone), but not so much digitally, as I have been greatly hindered, to which the absence of posts attest to.

Yet as determined as I am to start every day immediately with the Lord, there are days that I simply cannot due to appointments, or sometimes just that I rise up and go about the day. When I reflect upon the written Word of God, what I see are godly people that also had full lives they were living, whether kings, priests, shepherds, commoners, or slaves; everyone went about their business.

There are those who might say it is only those with a ‘religious spirit’ who would want to discipline themselves to start every day with the Lord. I could scream for all the times I’ve heard, “God sees the heart”. Yes, He sure does!

My days have started both ways. There have been days when I get up and rush to go about my business for the day, and many times, there just never seems to be enough hours in the day, or else things get backlogged (on hold, wrong numbers), interruptions, hindrances and distractions galore.

Normal life is full of interruptions, hindrances and distractions.  That has been since time began; it’s normal, a given. However, there are times that it is NOT the norm. If it can go wrong. It does not take a rocket scientist to discern times that an unusual and overwhelming onslaught of such things are orchestrated and carried out by the dark side.

Satan is on a mission to wear down the saints of God. Daniel the prophet forewarned God’s people that it would be so in the latter times, that the “little horn” [lawless one] would oppress Yahweh’s people (holy saints/Christians).

And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. [Dan 7:25] KJV

What we are experiencing now is nothing compared to what will be. That is speculation on my part, but the lawless one has not yet been revealed, yet we know he will be known when the restrainer (the precious and Holy Spirit) is taken away.

Our strength comes from the Lord Jesus (Yeshua). Yet realistically speaking, if all be true, even though our strength is from our glorious King, every one of us still go through times of great weariness. I truly believe we are very close to the great Tribulation happening, which is why the Lord has been calling His people to seek Him and pray. Ask, seek, knock’ [Lk 11:9]

Evil has increased exponentially globally. I do not even recognize this world anymore. Off and on for the past couple of months, I kept coming across scriptures that said “seek”. I sent a screenshot of one scripture to a close friend and sister in Christ.

I have several Bibles; however, an old, small one was randomly chosen. Where opened to after prayer was last read in 2018, almost eight years to the same time. I often date scriptures to bring back to remembrance what was going on in life during the time of the reading. The Word of God is alive and speaks to us to this every day.

Clearly the Lord has consistently been pointing out seeking Him, and healing these past couple of months.

Seek the Lord, all you meek of the earth, who have upheld His justice. Seek righteousness, seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden in the day of the Lord’s anger. [Zeph 2:3]

Message Begins

How heavy is your heart, My child, for the battle has been hard and long. Hold fast to Me, for awhile longer and you shall see the victory. The time of sealing, the test of endurance belongs to the remnant who are Mine and shall endure to the end, coming through victoriously, having been well-trained by previous tests and tribulations, having been purged and purified, in the fires and through the waters.

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

Yet only after death can My resurrection power go forth to raise you up to a place where the enemy cannot touch you. Healing and restoration are in My hand. Look up, look up for your redemption draws nigh. Chaos and destruction are coming upon mankind and the world, yet I AM the one who shall create the new when all is said and done. 

Keep on your armor; pray without ceasing, abide in Me and do that which I ask of you to do.

(*Note* 0bedience is the word that came to mind as I wrote this, and keeping a repentant heart.  [<= crucial BP) If we seek Him (long to be with Him), we are being obedient to His call. We are in serious times. He ants us aware but unafraid. That will not be easy when some of the reports come in, yet we must remember, God has us.

He was with all His apostles, with Stephen, Abraham, Joseph, Joshua, Esther, Moses, Daniel, John the Baptist. No matter which way it turned out (we all have an appointed time), the Creator was with each one. 

All were aware  of Christ with them. Stephen's last words:

(NOTE*: I interrupt here because apparently I posted this and neglected to include Stephen's words. Many thanks [DL-to a close friend for the heads up - BP)

 Stephen called upon Yahweh first, asking Him to receive his spirit. but then:

And he knelt down and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep. [Acts 7:59-60]

Forgiveness - that was KEY. It was important to Stephen that the men responsible for his death would be forgiven. He echoed the words of his Messiah.

Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.[Lk 23:34]

Forgiveness - it was KEY with Jesus/Yeshua also. This fulfills the two commandments upon which all of them hang.

Love the Lord our God with all your heart, soul, mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, You shall love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. [Mat22:37-40]

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.

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

A “great blessing” can be a restored relationship that someone has prayed about for decades, perhaps even the prayer of someone for their family who did not live to see the answer come to fruition, but a great reconciliation came through the hands of the Sovereign God.

Another great blessing could be a healing of something serious, or a much-needed job. For others, it could be a pregnancy or acceptance to a certain university or college. Think upon these things. BP End note]

 Do not fear Satan, despite all the evil you see unleashed upon the earth. Yes, it is intensifying and shall continue. My will shall be accomplished.

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. [Is 55:11]                                  

Satan's wrath has been loosed for a time, yea, 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 [Jn 14:1]; neither be afraid.

 [End Message]

Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. [Mat 28:20]

for His glory alone
