The LORD says:

To believe in Me means to trust me completely.  When
you believe in something or someone, you let your
guard down and receive what they offer.  I offer grace
and mercy, healing and forgiveness, love and peace,
power and unity.  Believing means seeing in My
Kingdom.  Once you believe, you will see things
in a way you never knew was possible.  The more you
trust Me and believe, the more I will show you.

2 Corinthians 4:3-4
"But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who
are perishing,whose minds the god of this age has blinded,
who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory
of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them."

The LORD says:

Celebrate Me. . .Celebrate New Life. . .understand all that
you have been given in exchange for My death on the
cross.  I am Living, I am here.  I see all you do and know
all your needs.  I offer hope and truth and want to carry
all your burdens for you.  I have made the way and I want
you to walk in it.  Follow Me because I want to lead you
forever.  Keep your eyes on Me because I am the author
and the perfecter of your faith! I alone hold the keys to
life and death.  I have overcome the grave so that you don't
have to go down into the depths any longer.  Rise up because
I have risen up!  I am calling your name- listen and respond.
I give true freedom and true love that all men and women are
longing for in life.  They will never be satisfied until they drink
from My cup.  I love you and all the pain and persecution i
endured was worth it.  Love me so you can  know that all that you
go through is worth what I have done for you.  I AM the
way to eternal life.  I alone offer salvation.  I am the Messiah
who hung on the cross, was buried and rose from the
dead.  There is no other God but Me.

On Good Friday...

Child,
I gave up My life for you. My body was broken and beaten for you. My blood was shed for you. I endured the cross for you. You are My joy....and I did all that so that you could spend eternity with Me. I have an extravagant, unconditional love for you. Remember Me today, child. Think about what your salvation cost Me and reflect upon the love that I have for you. And do not be sad, child. Look up! Sunday is coming! Your God is not dead. I am alive and I love you with an everlasting love! Praise Me! Glorify Me!
-Your Risen King

"...looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."
-Hebrews 12:2

The LORD says:

When you are set free, you are able to
soar on wings like eagles. I want to
break the chains that have been holding
you back from doing what you were
created to do. I don't just loosen
them so you can become more comfortable,
I break them to pieces so there is no
trace of them as you move forward in
life. The tighter chains might leave
marks, but those are just more proof
of how powerful My love is to set you
completely free and to help you stay
that way.

Psalm 107:13-15
"Then they cried out to the LORD in their
trouble, And He saved them out of their
distresses. He brought them out of
darkness and the shadow of death,
And broke their chains in pieces.Oh,
that men would give thanks to the LORD
for His goodness, And for His wonderful
works to the children of men!"

The LORD says:

Wisdom teaches you to say "no" to
ungodly actions and thoughts, and it
guides you into righteousness.
Live right by My side, and you will
life a right life. I show you truth
when your eyes and ears are open to
receive My instruction. Instruction
and wisdom go hand in hand. Put
your hand in My hand and I will
instruct you and you will have My
wisdom.

Proverbs 15:33
"The fear of the LORD is the instruction
of wisdom, And before honor is humility."

Proverbs 23:23
"Buy the truth, and do not sell it, Also
wisdom and instruction and understanding."

The LORD says:

I am the only One who knows every
need in your life. I kow the depths
of your heart. I see the needs you
have in healing and the desires and
longings of your heart. I know all
your physical needs. I will supply
and meet all your needs. I am your
perfect provider who wants to take
care of you because you are My
child.

Isaiah 43:19-31
"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it
springs up; do you not perceive it? I
am making a way in the desert and
streams in the wasteland. The wild
animals honor me, the jackals and the
owls, because I provide water in the
desert and streams in the wasteland,
to give drink to my people, my chosen,
the people I formed for myself that
they may proclaim my praise."

The LORD says:

My heart yearns for YOU. I want all
My children to understand the passion
I have for them. I am a consuming
fire and I want to consume you with
My love and grace. My ways are not
your ways. Believe in Me and trust
Me. I offer a path that not only
leads to eternal life, but one that
opens doors that no man can shut. I
pursue you with My perfect love and
want your response to be one of
adoration towards Me. When you
understand how much I love you, you
will want to follow Me with all your
heart."

Deuteronomy 4:24
"For the LORD your God is a consuming
fire, a jealous God."

The LORD Says:

Live in joy, My child. I have come that you may have life, and life more abundantly. My adversary comes to steal joy and to rob you of My blessings...but that is not the life I have intended for you. Receive My blessings with a thankful heart. Praise My holy Name. I am your Jehovah Jireh. Child, walk in all that I have for you. Obedience is what I desire of you. Learn to rely solely on Me. Your satisfaction can and will only be found in Me. Nothing on this earth can satisfy like I can.
-Your Loving Father

"The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."
-John 10:10

"Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your mouth is renewed like the eagle's."
-Psalm 103:5

The LORD says:

Discipline is never wanted in the heat
of the moment but later is a well-spring
of life for those who learn from their
mistakes. They can look back and see
that they were spared from more pain
and heartache when they received My
discipline in their lives and turned
from their sinful ways. The way to
life is to walk in obedience. A
father doesn't discipline a child he
doesn't love. I love you enough to
discipline you when you are headed in
a wrong direction. I want to bring you
back to the direction I am leading you
in. My path leads to life. Stay close
to Me and I will protect you.

Hebrews 12:10-11
"Our fathers disciplined us for a little
while as they thought best; but God
disciplines us for our good, that we
may share in his holiness. No discipline
seems pleasant at the time, but painful.
Later on, however, it produces a harvest
of righteousness and peace for those who
have been trained by it."

The LORD says:

I know what is ahead for you.  I hold the future in
My hands.  I am the Creator of all things.  Every
day is an opportunity for My will to be lived out on
this earth.  Man does not determine his days.  I do
that.  I know the number of your days and every
detail along the way.  I make it known to you
in My timing.  Trust in Me is crucial.  When you
believe I am in control, you will let me lead you.
Follow Me and know that your life is in My hands.
I won't let you go.

Job 14:5
"Man's days are determined; you have decreed the
number of his months and have set limits he cannot exceed."

The LORD Says:

I am the Living Water. Come to Me. Drink...and you will not be thirsty. Eat and you will not hunger any longer. I am your Daily Bread. I am that manna that you need each day- to sustain you. Come to Me...I will bring forth rivers of life. I will provide streams in your desert. I want what is best for you, My child. I have plans for you- plans to give you a future and a hope! I will not harm you. Run to Me and hide beneath My wings. I provide shelter and shade from the scorching sun. Come to Me- for My yoke is easy and My burden is light. I love you, precious one.
-Your Abba Father

"They shall neither hunger nor thirst, Neither heat nor sun shall strike them; For He who has mercy on them will lead them, Even by the springs of water He will guide them."
-Isaiah 49:10

"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'"
-Jeremiah 29:11

"Give us this day our daily bread."
-Matthew 6:11

"Jesus answered, 'It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"
-Matthew 4:4

The LORD says:

Mercy and judgement go together.  Where there is
no judgement, there does not need to be mercy.
I forgive my chlidren because My Son, Jesus, paid
the price for them.  I rain down mercy in the lives
of My children.  When you show mercy to those
who hurt you, offend you, and disrespect you, you
are showing them what I offer: mercy.  They know
what they deserve and when they receive mercy,
they glimpse the truth that I do not give as the
world gives.  My ways are higher than your ways.

1 Timothy 1:16
"But for that very reason I was shown mercy so
that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might
display his unlimited patience as an example for
those who would believe on him and receive eternal
life."

The LORD says:

It is Me, the Living God, who brings complete
freedom to your life.  It is in this freedom that
you are able to be used to your full potential.
When you are free you don't have to worry
about about your past or worry about your
future, you live with My power in the present.
Freedom releases you from bondage, worry,
fear, anxiety and submission to idols.  I have
set you free to walk in My light.  Open your
eyes to all I have for you.

Galatians 5:1:
"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.
Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be
burdened again by a yoke of slavery."

The LORD says:

Discernment helps people to see with more than
their eyes, they see with their hearts.  Those with
discernment have godly wisdom and understanding.
They stand on truth and My Holy Spirit impresses
upon their hearts what is happening around them
in the unseen realm.  There is a spiritual battle
raging.  I give discernment to those who use
it wisely.

Proverbs 3:21:
"My son, preserve sound judgment and discernment,
do not let them out of your sight;"

The LORD says:

Walk closely with My Spirit, My child, and I will
keep you in step with Me.  One step at a time,
that is all I ask.  I want you to trust Me even when
all your are capable of is making it through one
breath at a time.  I am working and I will see you
through anything and everything that I place in
your path.  Stay close and draw from My strength.

Psalm 62:8
"Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your
hearts to him, for God is our refuge."

The LORD Says:

Daughter,
I am majestic! I am mighty and powerful and all the glory is Mine. Praise My holy Name. Rejoice in My handiwork. Lift up your eyes to Me, precious child. I am your Helper. I am your Shield. I am your portion and your supply. I am your Great Reward!!
-Abba

"My flesh and my heart may fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."
-Psalm 73:26

"I will lift up my eyes to the hills-
From whence comes my help?
My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth."
-Psalm 121:1-2

The LORD says:

When My children live in a way that subdues My
Spirit and feeds their fleshly desires, they become
uninviting to the world around them.  I want people
to be welcomed into My kingdom and My presence.
Much harm is done and people turn away when My
children don't live holy lives.  I invite all to come to
Me and My children should view their lives as
examples of what it looks like when I have changed
their lives.

1 Timothy 4:12:
"Let no one despise your youth, but be an example
to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit,
in faith, in purity."

The LORD says:

Many are a man's ways that lead to destruction.
He will not realize until it is too late.  This is not
the case with My children.  When you have been
born again, I have lifted the veil and opened
your eyes.  The more I teach you and the more
you are willing to receive, the better sight you
will have to discern the wrong direction.  My
way leads to life.  All other paths lead to death.
Know Me and know that I am the Lord your
God.

2 Corinthians 3:16
"Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the
veil is taken away."

The LORD says:

You are special.  A light shines in you that I have
placed inside you.  It is a combination of My Word,
which is truth, My love, My peace, and My joy
that shines for all to see.  You may not even know
you are shining, but when you are filled with My
Holy Spirit, I have placed My spot light on you
declaring that you are a child of God.  You were
created to shine.

2 Corinthians 4:6
"For it is the God who commanded light to shine
out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to
give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God
in the face of Jesus Christ."

The LORD says:

Division destroys and divides.  I close the gap when
there is a hole.  For those who trust in Me, I bring
things together to make them whole and complete.
Division and discord are from the enemy.  I desire
unity and peace.  I make a path for all who are
willing.  Come to Me and I will teach you how to
reconnect where there has been dissension.

Ephesian 4:1-3:
"I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you
to walk worthy of the calling with which you were
called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with long-
suffering, bearing with one another in love,
endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the
bond of peace."
