.....HERE'S JESUS!!!....

John 10:10

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. 

I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly.

1 John 4:4

You are of God, little children, and have overcome them!

Greater is HE that is in you, than he that is in the world.

The thief has a  job- to PLAGIARIZE (pass off as his own), taking for himself what does not belong, to annihilate, snuff out, and ruin, devastate, trying trying trying to undo all of God’s work.

But God said NO!  Jesus came!

“I come,” Jesus says!  The GREATER ONE is here!  Life has come for God’s little children!

We need not be afraid, nor fearful.  “Perfect Love has casts away all fear.”  The giver of life has come to give you more upon more life, Abundant Life; Himself! His gifts are so lavish- so plentiful, overflowing! Prosperous! Extremely generous!  Our life in Him is His path (already navigated) with God’s presence, bringing us God’s fullness of joy…forevermore!

This enemy doesn’t want us to have God’s fullness— much less His joy, or His peace, or rest on every side!  No!  this ugly enemy wants to snuff it out- steal it away, stomp us down.  Keeping us under his thumb, literally wanting to destroy us.  It is his job!  

He tries very hard, but “unless we allow him” he can not!  So he will pester and pester and pester.  This is why we have to wait on the Lord, and pray, pray, pray.  We have to trust that Jesus came for us! 

This is why James 4:7 is so important to us.  Submit yourself therefore unto God.  Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.  Submit first.  God first.  As we turn to God, in submission, knowing God will take care of us, that JESUS CAME FOR US to give us abundant life… that devil has nowhere to go but G O N E…  he has to flee from the presence of God. . .  from the Word we quote and know by heart.  

Hey, we are of God, little children!  This shows us we are overcomers… Only God’s Word proves true!  His Word will NEVER return to Him void! Nope!  It has to work!

So that thieving imposter has to move elsewhere.  Not to bother or find host with God’s children!  

Listen, Children of God, we MUST utilize God’s Word (words) to benefit us.  Utilizing our faith in Christ Jesus, knowing that Christ Jesus will come, every single time, no matter what!

Do you want more?  More of what Jesus has to offer?  Not only in Abundance but more Abundance?  We have to rely upon our Lord Jesus to come!  He is the “life giver!”  You may have it, breathing earthly life, but you have to receive spiritual life, by believing Him.  By going through the gate!  Going through Jesus Christ, the only way to get to God.  The only way to be led beside still waters, in green pastures, lacking nothing! Finding, searching for and loving the very Good Shepherd who is the giver of LIFE.   The very one who has come to give us abundant life!  Yes! the very one who wants us free in Him!

Jesus help us!  Thank you for the revelation of Abundant Life: YOU, Lord, our Abundant, our more upon more God who is our giver of Life, forever.  Thank you that our life on planet earth is covered!  Protected!  Loved &  watched over!

How can we go wrong?  You love us, Lord!  We are Your little children!  As for me, I am grateful!  I love being Your child!  Thank you for Abundant Life, Giver of Life!  I love you very much.  Thank you for being a great protector, and provider, and husband, and watcher over my family and myself and all your children over all the earth.  We love you, Abba.  We love you, Jesus!  Thank you for the cross, and Your resurrection.  I know I say it a lot, but “thank you” from the bottom of my heart. 

Remind us when that enemy comes- that You are ever with us to the very end of the age, thank you!  Please remind us that that enemy has lost when you said the words, “it is finished,”  because it is so!  Abundant Life rose on the third day, thank you!  Abundant Life took back from that very enemy what he tries to take from us.

Abundant Life fills us to overflowing.  Our cup overflows with blessing!  You are not a stingy God, rather, it makes You clap Your hands in joy when you see we are blessed with spiritual blessings HEAPED upon spiritual blessings! Halleluyah!  Just as You reminded us in Psalm 23, we lack nothing!  Not even protection from our enemy.

You have proven to us that this devil can not kill us, steal from us, or destroy us, in Jesus name!  We are protected by the very name of God!  Halleluyah!!!  Praise Your holy name.  He can come in like a flood, but Jesus, here you come and raise Your Standard against him!  Halleluyah, we are the most blessed children of God!

Once again, thank you, Lord.  Bless our faith today.  Bless the one who needs this message.  I believe we all need this message from Your Word.  Thank you for ministering these scriptures to me.  I appreciate You.  And lastly, I end with these words from You in Deuteronomy….  and that you (Lorraine and you, dear reader)

may love the Lord your God, listen to His voice, and hold fast to Him.  For the Lord is your life, and He will

give you many years in the land He swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Deu 30:20

May the Lord bless and keep you today.  May the Lord make His face shine upon you & lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace.  Halleluyah!  \0/

THERE IS POWER IN THE NAME OF JESUS

But if we walk in the Light, as He is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.  1 John 1:7

Do you want to be cleansed from all sin?  Walk in the Light!  Make sure you are not entertaining darkness.  Remove it from you!  It is not of the Light.  The power and blood of Jesus will purify you and break every chain!

The devil lost his will at Calvary.  HE LOST.  

This is why when the devil or his demonic spirits come against us, we can cry JESUS! and Jesus comes!  We can cry and plead the blood of Jesus, and the powerful blood of Jesus turns away the enemy.  This enemy doesn’t like the reminder that he lost at Calvary.

He can not HAVE you, Christian, YOU belong to GOD!  As long as you walk in the path of Light (godliness and holiness), imitating God in Love & walking God’s path without deviating or yielding to a different path (yours), we can live FREE in Christ, cleansed from all sin!  

The beauty of this scripture is that LIGHT belongs not only to you, but to me, and when we fellowship IN Christ together, the power of the blood works the momentum of our faith.  The protection of God’s name surrounds us, and God’s very presence is evident.  No sin, not in Jesus!  He cleanses us from all sin.  Sin has lost its host (home) in us.  In fact, the scripture in James that says: submit yourself unto God and resist the devil-  that scripture tells us that our enemy lost.  Because when we submit, Jesus comes!  When we run to Jesus and cry: help, I submit!  Or, with me, I see myself with my head bowed, so low, that all the enemy sees when he bumps into me are the eyes of Christ.  Scripture states Christ’s eyes are like fire…  Hallelujah, the enemy sees his destiny; his fiery end.

Last night I woke up, troubled in my spirit.  The enemy was bothering me.  I got out of bed and started pacing my house.  Up and down the halls, went into most of my rooms, pleading the blood of Jesus.  Praying over my doors and windows (physical and spiritual).  There was something not of God, BOTHERING my spirit.  The chain needed to be broken.  I refuse to cower in fear, I am a Child of God!  That enemy once had that hold, but no more.  Peace was disturbed, and I cried for God to come.  I reminded the enemy that I was submitted to God.  I reminded myself of the scripture in James 4:7, bowing down in reverence to my Father.  The enemies presence started to fade away and out of my house.  Peace returned to my spirit.  I was able to go back to bed and sleep.  

This morning when I woke, I put this song on: There is Power in the Name of Jesus to break every chain.  Every chain was broken for me, last night, and this morning.  Jesus came!  I had to run and cry out for Him, the LIGHT.  Darkness had to flee.  Darkness couldn’t stay.  Darkness has lost to the Light because of the blood of Jesus, and God’s powerful name.  

Aren’t you glad for Jesus?  I am so grateful!  I am grateful for His prayers toward us.  I am so grateful for His Word, which is Himself, not only prayed over us but is with us as we walk with Him. 

Walk in the Light!  It is the best thing you can do.  Jesus is always here, Always!  I read a scripture that says we will never be disappointed.  In Psalm 22:5, I love these words, true to my experience last night:

They (LORRAINE) cried out to You and were delivered.  They (LORRAINE) trusted IN YOU and were not disappointed or ashamed.  I am so free in the Lord, that I can cry to Him: ABBA HELP!  I am so happy, I never have to worry or be afraid that my Father will be late, or ignore my cry.  No!  He is always near, as close as my breath.  It was God who told me not to be fearful, but to be courageous!  To submit to Him, and that He God world take of me, all of me!

This is so good, I had to share!

O my God, IN You I have unwavering trust.  I rely on You with steadfast confidence.  I stand firm in You, O Lord.  Because You are a loyal God.  Faithful and committed to me.  Therefore, I have confidence when I cry to You, You will be here to help me.  You send your angels to encamp all around me, to guard and protect me.  Your Holy Spirit to help in and through everything pertaining to my life, spiritual and physical.  Thank you! 

Do not let me be ashamed or my hope in You will be disappointed.  Do not let my enemies triumph over me. 

Psa 25:2

The Father allowed my hope NOT to be dashed or deferred, but to SEE Him at work!  I can testify, I am not disappointed in my God!  My enemy did not triumph over me because God broke the chain of the enemy.  He could not have me; God said so!  He could not trouble me, or fight with me.  My spirit IN CHRIST JESUS is protected.

God is a consuming fire over me!  He is impassioned over me, DEMANDING what is rightfully and uniquely His, Me!  I belong to Christ!  He gave me His mind, His power to call on, Himself- to run to.  And by His name, I am free from all the snares of the enemy.  Nothing can snatch me from God’s hand!

So Abba, thank you for Your help last night.  And, not only last night but throughout out my entire life, and You will continue until You bring me to You.  You are my Lord and my God!  I do rely on, trust in and lean on You, my Holy Lord.  Bless those who need this message today.  Let them also know that You are God!  You have our back!  You are closer than a brother!  You are our friend!  YOU are Lord, and as we submit ourselves therefore unto You, we are free, because the enemy has to flee, and he does, because You take good care of us, Abba.  Thank you!

We never have to be afraid- because You have revealed to us that the enemy has LOST.  He is a pest, but a losing pest that has lost his power.  He is a force, but Greater is HE that is in you (LORRAINE) than he that is in the world.  The Greater one, YOU, live IN me, and because the Spirit of God lives in me, and my body is His temple of the Holy Ghost,  and I have Your mind, Lord Jesus, & Your power because of the words I have learned in Your Word, I am free as I utilize ALL of You in me!  Hallelujah!  

You told the Father one day, “I in You (LORRAINE) You in me (Son) as I am in the Father!

(that all of them may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I am in You. May they also be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me. John 17:21)  

Once again, thank you!  Protect us now, Abba, by the power of Your name.

Wash us and cleanse us in your Word, by the blood of Jesus Christ, Your Son, in whom I love, appreciate and worship.  

This prayer I pray with thanksgiving in my heart!  

In Jesus Name, Amen Jesus!

...BROKEN CISTERN? OR DEEP ROOTS?.....

DEEP ROOTS

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgAzLKXqcDk

…He leads me beside quiet waters, He refreshes my soul…

…They are like trees planted along a riverbank with roots that reach deep into the water. (Abundant water)

…Water made the roots grow, Living Water!

…and the dew will lie all night on my branches…

How are your roots?

It benefits me to have my roots grow deep in God.  To have thirsty roots that dig, dig deep.  Searching for the Living Water to feed and refresh my soul.  To have the Father kiss me, love me as the dew kisses the leaves in the morning.

I don’t want a tree with shallow roots.  That the wind may do to it as it pleases,  blowing my tree hither and yon, and uprooting me.  Or worse, a tree withered from the roots, cursed, where there is no fruit.

Nor, a tree that doesn’t bear fruit.  This is such tragedy and waste to the Kingdom.  We are meant to BEAR FRUIT and prosper!  The husbandman prunes away all that doesn’t bear fruit.  

How is your soil?

He has planted me in good soil!  He expects Harvest from me- He expects to reap a good harvest in me & from me.  He gave me all I need to produce fruit.  To accomplish in me the best of all of Him.

God is a God of abundance!  It is He who provides for me so I can bear good fruit!  It is He who provides this Living Water.  

One may ask, where do I get this Living Water?  

He is the Lord!  Matter of fact, Jesus told the woman at the well, “I am He.”  It is the Lord who refreshes the soul by believing Him.  He promises us that Living Water will flow from within us!  To the one who can’t believe or don’t believe, doing life your own way, this is what the scripture says about you… “you have made your own cisterns.”  They are worthless, broken, and can not hold water.  You have “done life” your way, purposely leaving God out of it.  Unfortunately, there is no life in a broken cistern.  You need the Vine!  To be grafted in, and be part of the Vine is simply abiding in the Vine.  Without the vine, the plant perishes and is only fit for the fire pit.

It is the Shepherd that leads us to the living water:  Himself. Don’t forsake Him!  Don’t live a life broken.  Allow God to wash through you with His Holy Spirit allowing refreshment go all the way to your roots that seek, seek, seek our God for refreshment; Himself.

Seek the Kingdom- YOU seek the Kingdom of God…FIRST.  Allow God to work through your seeking.  Allow Him to send His word to perform and accomplish all He wants, and prosper His Word everywhere He sends it., in you.

Ask God to send His Word to you- to grow you IN Him.  To open His revelation of Himself to you.  Ask our Lord, to lead you beside the waters.  To plant you and to bless your roots to have them go even deeper as you seek, seek, seek the Lord with all you have.  To love Him with all you have inside of you.  To never let go of this Wonderful and Glorious God who is so loving and giving to you and I.  Don’t live a life broken, and doing it on your own.  But live free in the Lord!  

Do not allow your beautiful tree to be mastered by the weather conditions!  Breaking you up, tearing you, or worse, uprooting you.  But relying on our Heavenly Father to feed you, water you, fertilize you IN HIM, so you can be everything He expects of you.

The secret is: YOU have to WANT it.  You have to want God.  Trusting Him in every aspect of your life.  

You probably tire of reading this over and over again, but your blessings will only come as you trust in, rely upon and believe in your God, Almighty God, only God, nothing else.  Knowing that He is our provider!  

To the unfortunate who are broken cisterns, God even provides the clay for your cistern.  He would prefer your life in Him, instead of your life alone with your un masterful hands only digging and digging for naught.  But you are not left out.  God loves you!  He sent His Son Jesus for you.  It is He in Psalm 23 that is talking to you.  All the goodness of God belongs to you- STOP BEING BLIND, DEAF & FOOLISH, broken cistern!  God is the master of the clay.  He can and wants to re-build you up.  You are not master of your life, God is!  He is still taking care of your foolish soul to your last breath.  Stop gambling your life away.  Live free in God.  Stop messing with your tree!  Too many branches have been broken off- that will not regrow.  To many lifeless branches of waste have been thrown in the fire.  What is left? Your root?  Is it healthy?  Are you bearing fruit?  Good fruit?

God is not mediocre.  Nor, is God stingy.  He has the B E S T for you, waiting for you to grab onto.  His hand is outstretched to you, will you grab His hand and allow Him to lead you beside peaceful waters?

Lord, I know this message is for the believer and unbeliever too.  I pray in Jesus name that you stir us up IN You.  That we will appreciate the peaceful waters and living streams that flow though and in us as we search for You, and love You with all we have.  It is You who keep us healthy.  You provide all we need in this life to have good strong roots.  Good deep roots.  Where drought can not touch us.  Fire can not burn us.  Or the heat of the sun make us wither and die.  No!  We have You, and depend on You for everything!  And we thank You, Abba.  You are so generous to us.  Thank you for the underground springs that cause life, and more abundant life for us, every day, because You love us.

Help us Lord, and bless our faith in You today, and every day that we draw breath.

Thank you for your Kiss.

In Jesus name, I pray.  

Amen Jesus!

p.s.    "Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him."John 7:38 

((Don’t you just LOVE GOD???))

.....THE WORD, GOD....

The Word.

God.

In the beginning was the Word… Your Word, Lord, is eternal.  It stands firm in the heavens.  Your Word is absolute, it never changes!  You are the same yesterday, today, and forever, you never change!  You said, “I change NOT.”

Revive me in Your Word, O Lord.  Renew me!  Let me be refreshed so that I can run and not be weary, walk and not faint.  Help me to meditate and chew thoughtfully the words You have left me.  Help me as I study to show my self approved.  Lord, help me to LOVE and cherish, the definition of Love; You.  To adore you, and delight myself in You, because You, O Lord, are my final say!  You told me to SEEK You, to seek your Kingdom f i r s t.  To love You with all my heart, mind, soul and strength so that you may work in my faith; because I believe You.  Bless my faith as I choose YOU FIRST in everything pertaining to my life.  As I trust You, and trust that Your word is established (final, unchangeable, and unmoving) I am shown in my spirit-man that You truly have all of me in Your hands.  You love all of me flaws and all.  You- Your Word- will help me each and every day as I draw breath in appreciation for You.

You stated in Your Word that heaven and earth will pass away- but Your words won’t!  Your Word stands forever.

Jesus is the Word.  The seed planted is Your Word.  Praise God! \0/  Your Word is inside of me!  You are inside of me!  Your Spirit dwells inside of me, firmly fixed, and unshakable!  Stronger than the strongest glue.  Un-crackable than the strongest cement! Unfathomable! Inexplainable! Real!  You are God, and there is none other!  There is none other to swear by, so You swear by Your great name!  You are IT. 

Help me as I get settled IN You!  Help my eyes not to wander.  Or, my feet not yield onto a different path.  Help my ears to listen intently for Your voice, for You will speak to me if I merely listen.  Thank you!  Help my heart to purpose only to beat in Your tune.  God is love!  I want that tune in my heart.  God is merciful!  Allow that song to never change in me- but to imitate You, O God, because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.  I am Your dearly loved child.  You Word over me is BLESSED- Redeemed- so loved, that You even know all the hairs on my head, and how many I have!  You feed me, clothe me, house me, love me, intensely.  You love me with a God-love- where NOTHING shall move you in that love.  NOTHING shall separate me from Your Love, nor, snatch me from Your hand.  Because my name is written on Your palm!  The same palm that measured the waters of the earth, Halleluyah!!!!  Hallelujah to my God (Yahweh).  

O Lord, I do put you first in my life.  I do surrender myself to You.  I do love You with all I have within me.  I do, I do.

Help me when I fall- in mistaken ignorance and speak to me, Word of God.  Drench me in Your LOVE.  Consume me!

Forgive my sins, and pour out all the impurity, so that You can fill me up with Your Purity, Your Word.

this I ask in the name of the Lord, Your Son, Jesus (Yeshua) my God, my Light, and my Word.

Lastly, I pray these scriptures over and over again.

Guide me in your Truth and teach me.  For You are God my savior, and my hope is in you all the day long.

Show me your Ways Lord, and teach me Your paths…  Guide me (the humble) and teach me Your way.  You told me that You confide in me because I fear You. For You will make Your covenant known to me.  Halleluyah!  Create in me a clean heart, O Lord.  Purify me!  Wash me in Your blood.  Thank you that Your blood is IN me- I am IN YOU as You are IN the Father.  Thank you!  This is a secure statement!  Your Word changes not! Therefore, Lord, my God, thank you that Your Word stands firm, forever!

In this prayer and scriptures I spoke to you, Abba, thank you that You will not allow Your word to return to You void, but You will prosper it!  Prosper it in me, I ask, in Jesus name!  Show me Your mysteries opened with YOUR revelation spoken to me.  Because FAITH comes by hearing the Word of God.  Help me to hear well and abide in Your Truths, I pray, Lord Jesus.  AMEN and thank you again!  Amen Jesus!

And they shall KNOW Him

Zec 13:6   

”And one will say to him, ‘

What are these wounds between your arms?' 

Then he will say, ‘

Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.' 

The wounds.  

Wounds on His back, His chest.

Wounds that pierced His hands and feet.

Wounds that were caused in pure hatred;

Yet, Love was wounded for our transgressions,

and bruised for our iniquities.

“You did not choose Me

but I chose you

and appointed you

that you should go and bear fruit

that will remain

and whatever you ask the Father in my name

He will give you.”

“You are my friends,” Jesus declared.

“You who keep my commands.”

They wounded Him,

Pierced His flesh,

torn it away from His body.

They bruised Him black and blue

even, spit on Him

and torn out His beard.

He was unrecognizable.

Hate did this unforgivable act.

But LOVE endured to the end with JOY.

With us (the future) in mind

With our Eternity with the Father on His heart.

Christ Jesus was a man focused-  Alpha and Omega focused.

He even asked the Father to forgive those who cruelly tortured and punished Him.

Christ has certainly taken upon Himself our suffering and carried our sorrows.

He was despised, yet He still LOVED.

Forsaken, yet forgave.

Chastised for our iniquities.

A  man of sorrows, yet love kept His feet moving to the end.

Why?  GOD is LOVE.

He had our wellbeing in mind,

our future,

our glory

which is HIS glory.

Christ LOVED us to death

and LOVES us to life- eternal life!

He took the cross for many reasons.

For our health, forgiven transgressions, and well-being.

His goal in the cross was with

our Eternity in mind.

“Whosoever believeth in Him shall have everlasting life.”

Who are His friends?

the one who believes IN Him.

He loves us.  Let us appreciate our Lord Jesus

and honor Him now with a simple heartfelt

THANK YOU LORD JESUS.

...COME LORD JESUS...

Glorious day!

The creation looks forward 

to the day

when it will join God’s children

in glorious freedom

from death and decay.

We look forward with hope to that wonderful day

when the glory of our great God and Savior,

Jesus Christ will be revealed

This day we have seen God speak with man

and man still live.

You said, “the Lord our God has let us see

how great and glorious He is.”

Turn to Me and be saved all the ends of the earth

for I am God

and there is no other.

I have sworn by Myself.

The Word has gone forth from my mouth

in righteousness and will not turn back;

That to me 

every knee will bow, every tongue will swear allegiance.

They will say of Me

Only in the Lord are righteousness and strength…

With bated breath we wait

for that glorious day

for our Savior

The day of our Lord

Rejoicing day

The glorious day of Light!

The Savior is Here

The Bride is Here

He who can hear say come!

He who can hear say….Come Lord Jesus……
