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]

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
