Son of My Heart

Son of my heart, how I ache to comfort you! Your peace is a long way from you yet. The calling of the Lord must prevail, for only He can see you through!

I am sorry you have lost sight of how precious you are to me, but how will you ever find your own strength, if I keep fighting for you? If you depend on me? How will you know how high you can soar, unless you permit Him to lift you up? Your struggle is not against Him. He actually loves you far more than my own human capacity, and comes bearing great gifts for you!

I know the adjustment seems like a great hardship, this taking up of, and growing into, your calling. Suffering in Him always reveals the full measure of our worth, is how we are able to mentally comprehend value: His, and ours in His light. The Son gave us the standard for that determination. It is with bright hope that I release you to fulfill your promise! You will accomplish what you have to when you need to. You will find the joy you deserve in Him!

It's Just Waiting Now

2 Chronicles 30


Jerusalem of Judah is my sister. We live side by side in the same household, but half a world apart. Because her eyes are veiled, I must assume the role of the elder. I must lead her to the Father. She is proud, and bitterly hostile to my aid. I can do nothing to help her if she refuses, for she would never find her way to where the Father waits so patiently for her. So I wait, and prevail upon my spouse to intercede. Only He can heal and reconcile her. I do not have those skills of persuasion with which to make blind eyes see.

I must be removed from her sphere of influence, so she will awake from her sleep! To my sorrow, my presence enables her lack of vision, her refusal to comprehend. She will be even more angry for a while, that it is only I allowed in the Father's house, but she must be properly dressed, first, to be in the Father's presence. Those garments only come from the Father and take much humility to apprehend.

The Bride is identified as the one who expends much energy searching for her beloved, her groom. Her life is absorbed in Him. He lures her with His voice and His nearness, but she just misses Him! She begs every one else to find Him. Others grow sick of her passion, and abuse her for her devotion, but she must needs be unsatisfied until she is in His presence. Nothing can disturb her love for Him, or quench her affections!

Psalm 57

1 Be gracious to me, God, be gracious to me,
for I take refuge in You. I will seek refuge in the shadow of Your wings
until danger passes.
2 I call to God Most High,
to God who fulfills His purpose for me.[b]
3 He reaches down from heaven and saves me,
challenging the one who tramples me.Selah
God sends His faithful love and truth.
4 I am surrounded by lions;
I lie down with those who devour men.
Their teeth are spears and arrows;
their tongues are sharp swords.
5 God, be exalted above the heavens,

let Your glory be over the whole earth.
6 They prepared a net for my steps;
I was despondent.
They dug a pit ahead of me,
but they fell into it!Selah
7 My heart is confident, God, my heart is confident.
I will sing; I will sing praises.
8 Wake up, my soul![c]
Wake up, harp and lyre!
I will wake up the dawn.
9 I will praise You, Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to You among the nations.
10 For Your faithful love is as high as the heavens;
Your faithfulness reaches the clouds.
11 God, be exalted above the heavens;
let Your glory be over the whole earth.

Yesterday, I was dying. Abused and seemingly alone, the greedy darkness closed in on my feeble resistance. Yet with the dawn of the new day, the seed of God within me has resurrected me to join with Him, the burning Flame which is my life and my desire. Joy's exuberance is now my castle, gladly exulted in worship of my King!

I am lifted out of the midst of wickedness and despair. I depart from the valley of death's shadow. I leave the wilderness, in the crossing of the Jordan. As my flesh transforms into light, I step through the door in the veil. Such is the victory of the Lord's ressurection! 

The Bride's jubilee year was the last of the sixth millineum. Now she goes up into the promised land on the tenth day of the month, no longer an exodus, but an entering in, and a gathering together! On the tenth day of the month, our Lord entered Jerusalem, where He would be ressurected. She has her own tenth of the month, right after His, as she follows Him to Her own ressurection, the redemption of her body, just like her Lord!

For Those Who Don't Understand What Freedom Is

"He who says to his brother 'thou fool' shall be in danger of hellfire."

"The wrath of man does not accomplish the will of God."

"And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold."

Have you ever been angry at another person? This furious response would be for when they very much do not meet our expectations, and our response is to seek to motivate them to do so. It feels so righteous. If you've experienced this, then you know how it feels to be offended. Being offended is a deal breaker in the context of love. You cannot love someone you are attempting to control. Love, instead, lets go.

Why do we seek to control? It's for our own benefit, of course, but the reality of it is, that it is WE who are controlled, by our own anger! "In your anger, do not sin." Yet, those who are unloving make their decisions from a foundation of negative emotions, when they attempt to force an outcome. "He who sins is a slave to sin." This psychosis is being mistaken for love.

Now, the freedom which is love, is a position of internal strength from which to give, forgive, and act upon. It is a state of mind unaffected by circumstance, and goes far above and beyond societal expectations. It's mirror image and companion is wisdom. Freedom has structure, boundaries, and "rules." If we stay within it's precepts, we will ascend into the heights in the train of the Most High, for freedom is the only base from which it becomes our 
very nature to do what is right, the very righteousness of God!

"If the Son sets you free, you shall be free indeed!"

"Great peace have they which love thy law, and nothing shall offend them."

God's Calling of the Chosen

When you set out to buy something (like a car), what are your criteria? Hopefully, color is not the most important thing you consider. Perhaps a stylish, trendy design should not be the first reason for a purchase, either. Something popular for its looks might just be useless for practical purposes. The top factor should always be functionality. Surface appearance and performance are separate
considerations and distinctly set apart in real life value. As the salesman very sagely explained, "You can't see the color of a car while you are driving it.

So it is with our character. You cannot "see" values at all. We cannot perceive the thoughts and emotions which inspire actions, only get visuals of the other person's exterior, not what is motivating or driving those actions. We can come to understand, through that esoteric concept called "knowledge", what is unveiled by their activity over time, and the sense of the actual person that emerges from the conscientiously or artfully constructed facade.

The whole of value is usefulness, of what benefit it can bring. Where our value begins is our being made in the image of God (That is the color or design part of our features). When we are born again as His children, when His Spirit comes to dwell in us, He takes the image, the least valuable part, and adds to it HIS intangible character traits, and increases our value into HIS range of the infinite! He does this through a process called sanctification. There is suffering in rebirth. There is a price to His good in us! When pain and it's companion of sorrow hand us a question, we learn how to answer back with His sufficiency. He becomes our motivation, our reason, our very breath! By this process, we learn how to think His thoughts along with Him. Those activities, how we perform, how we react to suffering, our humility, are showing whose we are! When we know Him, we always acquire gratitude and faith from circumstance! (How do we get to know HIM? By reading the WHOLE of His Word!)

I will forever be overwhelmingly grateful to my loving Lord for my dramatic heartbreak and sorrow! His will is sovereign and my scandalous and beautiful drama is used by Him to create my destiny and awaken me to HIM! I have the unearnable honor of being His vessel, fashioned to His purpose. I am living His story of love and glory, where He becomes my addiction, my passion, and my breath of compassion with which I cannot live without!

The Beauty of Rejection

(The prophesy for my son)

I heard someone say, "The horror of real life cannot be surpassed by fiction. Monsters really do exist, and evil really does prey on innocence." I wanted to protest from my allegedly superior thinking, that faith surely protects one from such despair, that what you believe is what you will see realized, within the context of the truth. My blanket objection missed an important truth entirely, a gift from God, no less. The essential function of "testing" is crucial to the evaluation of our foundational assumptions. We must see ourselves clearly to judge ourselves accurately, and we must judge ourselves if we do not want God doing it for us. It is our time of opportunity, a hard scrabble in the dirt and the enduring of contempt and rejection, most often very painfully administered by a faithless and jaded society.

Here begins the gift. Bereft of strength to compel others, or even ourselves, we can begin the journey to understand.

Every last bit of our depths of despair, our harsh reality, is essential to our calling. In HIS hands, it is transformed into knowledge and understanding, the bedrock of His character upon which we stand. Grief must needs precede, must be allowed to create, the capacity for and the essence of joy! He's like that! His response to our humility is surpassing grace. His readily available compassion and mercy inspire us to great effort on His behalf. Such is His love, that He rewards our work for Him, with His peace, and our suffering FOR Him, with His joy and meaning. A gratifying gift indeed, to be used by Him, so that at His coming, we will be as greatly satisfied as He will be!

Our hope overcomes, is made our reality. He fashioned it from the very pain of our displacement, out of the flight of our freedom away from the contaminating inner circles of this world! If you are found to be unacceptable, are forced to conform or leave, then you have been prepared for the blessing of being His own possession. If you come to Him when He calls, He will never turn you out! He is worthy of all the turmoil and struggle to be of Him and His!

A Journey in Jubilee

The feeling of peace He gives has no boundary of words with which to contain it. The satisfaction of awareness, of the superlative goodness of His living presence, has nothing worthy of comparison. It restfulness carries no taint of fear inspired effort. The joy is STRONG, so intense that innocence is not an adequate vessel to receive it, lest it be destroyed for it's very fragility.

Instead, it is a surety of knowledge upon which this peace is built, the glory and utter dependability of God's graciousness, gifted to us. Sure, it was assembled in the storms, realized by pain, but of what worth would a gift be that costs nothing? Yet our faith is of infinite value, and deserves all our attention, because it is of HIM.

Along the way, we have acquired burdens, accrued debts.  Righteous convictions and a strong sense of responsibility require no less. These weights and traumas, when removed by Divine fiat, bring the surge, the flood, of unequaled, celebratory joy, known as jubilee! It's freedom explodes over our consciousness with cathartic power! Release and liberation are upon us!

Women, because of their lightness of stature, have always been the more tightly bound with slavery and servitude under the curse of sin! With the suddenness of a lightning strike, comes the threefold manifestation of this woman's rescue, her deliverance from oppression! Firstly, in her work, her boss is replaced, with one who has been where she is at, done the work that she does. Instead of the old boss's authoritarian view of harshness and punitive discipline and the fear it creates, the new boss values teamwork, and a cohesive edification that gets the job done! Her second freedom is a reconciliation with the family that she has invested so much of her life and time into. The weighty word of a dying sister, is what has effectively severed the chain of alienation, caused by satanic lies. The ones repeating the lies were victims also, deprived of victory over sin. The third reversal, bestowed in a caveat, was of a personal, profound identity issue. Yammering voices accuse, say that if you are a Christian, you will believe as them. There is no possibility of another view, to them. Common sense says differently. The Bible seems silent. An inquiry of the Lord opened the Word, in the Torah, through a sister, to reveal that it is not blood guilt that is at issue (as satan would want everyone to believe), but is an issue of private property, instead. God's Law dispels the image of another Christian sacred cow.

Be free to celebrate in the love of Christ, my friends!

A Brief History of the Future


Those blood moons, so well known among the prophesy readers, will pass without anything happening in terms of the Rapture. Those who believe, who are eagerly awake, will turn their expectations to the year 2017, because that is when the signs in the heavens, that they have been told about, resume. Do you hear that snoring sound? That is the sound from all the virgins, sleeping. He waited past the last of the times of their expectations, until the very last minute, which is the beginning of the new day, midnight. This event, called the rapture, will be what heralds and inaugurates the next millennium!

For now, it's the jubilee year that makes the difference, that tells the tale of the timing, for time is but another dimension that God already owns the whole of. He's got the entire senario and circumstance planned out, that when man completes his 120th jubilee, God will repossess the reins of government. That last day of creation, the sabbath millennium, begins with a ressurection! (I will raise him up on the last day!) and a return of ownership of Earth to the last Adam! The King is coming!




The big dilemma of our age is that we seem to have lost track of our jubilees, have denied our own heritage! The rabbis changed the dates to disassociate from the first advent of the King. The revelations are given to the Jews, but the Spirit must do the teaching for them to be understood! The human intellect is insufficient to know the mind of God!

The blood moons represent the four watches of the night, of the darkness that precedes the dawning of the final Day of HIS rest, when there will be no more night. The blood moons will be past when "the sign of His coming" occurs. Everyone will be asleep when it happens, because it will be when it is least expected. Most are looking to the Feast of Trumpets, the one with the super blood moon. It won't happen then. The new day begins at the new year, with the darkness of a totally blackened sun. This is a warning to the nations. Shortly after this "midnight", this new "day", He will raise His beloved. He will raise her on the third "day" since she saw Him last, because she is His body, is part of Him, with her own UNFULFILLED prophetic spring feast at which to be renewed and wedded! She will be the "kingdom" gathered from a far country, an allegedly "gentile" woman, who is, in reality, of His very own blood! That is why there is a second Passover, just for her! It's her "second chance" as the prodigal. The Song of Solomon is her story of rapture and her wedding to the shepherd King. She is rebuked by the watchers for ACTIVELY SEEKING Him out and looking for His physical return. For her single minded faith, she suddenly finds herself in a chariot with a prince! (stated exactly as by Elisha when he saw Elijah go up!) The Song tells us specifically, that He will gather her in the spring, when the "fresh plants" are coming up, when the vines are budding and the figs are sprouting leaves! The Jewish new year is one day after the solar eclipse of March 8th, 2016. Look for Him to come just after THAT time! Be watching for Him!


August 21, 2017, is the solar eclipse across America, the U.S., called in scripture the "virgin daughter of Babylon". September 2017 is the sign of Revelations 12.

Children, beware......
