A Letter from the Father - The Open Door

Believing without seeing brings forth a harvest that has yet to be sown. To understand this Kingdom principle you must understand my Kingdom.

I have not placed you within a position to prosper without my hand first resting upon you. Truly think about that, dear one. Prosperity outside of my will is only selfish gain which can soon be taken away. Instead, trusting me for your provision in the days ahead is wisdom you could have only inherited through my Spirit. This, my love, is what I find pleasing.

Take a moment to consider all that has transpired up until this very point. Will you relinquish how faithful I have been? What I have promised, so it has been. What I have promised, so it shall be. No Word shall ever return back to my throne as void or nullified. Instead, your faith activates a spring within my well to rush forth as new hope enters into your heart. I am here…I have not left.

Press into me for the days a head. Abide within my Word and listen as I speak to your heart. Yes, I am speaking, if only you shall listen. Do you believe? Surely you must or you would not speak to me the way that you do. Ah, but in this I find pleasing because so many times you have rendered yourself as unworthy of my love. Yet, you still speak. You still seek. You still knock. And so you shall receive.

I desire for your confidence to rise up and meet your identity within me. For I have placed a wonderful blessing right before your very eyes. Do you see? Can you perceive? The choice is yours, will you receive?

I take great delight in fulfilling the desires of your heart. Locked away, you have great dreams awaiting their appointed time of arrival. For I have placed them there, and I am faithful to bring them to pass. You just have to say yes.

Will you give me your yes?

If indeed you shall, then the key is within your hand.

Try the door, beloved, for it has been open to you all along.

Your Eternal Father, God Almighty

A Letter From Jesus - Confirming Our Relationship

I would enjoy to secure you in something, dear one.

In this relationship that we have built, there are no longer singular notations. Where there once was “I”, “me”, and “mine”, now resides “us”, “we”, and “ours”.

You see, when I called you into this intimate relationship with me, I called you as a broken person who would soon be made whole. You used to love me as if I would leave. You loved in fear.  Trust needed to be built, and this foundation is now strong. You have reached a direct point of beauty that far surpasses the outward appearance so easily praised by man. Your beauty adorns that of a precious jewel covered until the day to be worn.

Yes, you are intentionally being hidden. 

I have put you away from the eyes of despise and I have prepared you for greater things behind the scenes. No one could have imagined just how much you are to be treasured. I am the Only One fit to mold you and love you exactly the way that you have needed and longed for. I saw deep within your heart and you were in need of my affection.

I have chosen you, beloved.

You were not assigned to me without choice. No, I should say not. Instead, I sought you out among many. I studied you in extravagant detail to learn how to win your heart. I pursued you diligently and without pause. I left all that belonged to me in order to inherit you. Don’t you see, my pearl of great price? You’ve been worth it all along!

This love I have given you is authentic.

You have seen false versions of this love. Many, many false versions of this love. Yet now you have known the real thing. The true thing. You see, my love expels darkness. My love demolished the idols in your life. When you said yes to me, you weren’t just saying yes to a “chance”. You were saying yes to a marriage, a covenant. I betrothed you, I asked you to start your life over with me, and you said yes. I have committed to take care of you, honor you, and protect you. I have promised to extend my strength to you and to make sure you are never in need of any good thing. Oh beloved, this is more than just invitation of faith, this is an ancient long pursuit of your heart. This is more than just learning about who I AM, this is about being in love with the I AM.

I would enjoy to tell you of something important.

You often declare to me, “There is no one like You, Lord!” But I say this as true: There is no one like YOU, beloved! There is no one like you in all the earth and the way that I love you, no one else has seen before. I love you wholly, intimately, and differently. My love for you could be placed into a category with dimensions and archives unknown to the human heart. Just as my thoughts toward you can be compared to all of the sand upon every created shore, so does my love run wild over you as far as my grace runs intertwined with eternity. The common ground to both can be summed up in this reality-shattering sentence: countless, boundless, measureless, limitless yet eternity-filled is my love for you! Your earthly mind cannot comprehend, ah but your spirit knows this and confirms this as truth. You are loved beyond your understanding, so I tell you, refrain from comparing my love to that of the world's.

My love for you is fixed. It is unmoved. It is trustworthy.

For I have loved you first, and I shall always love you greatest.  

Rest in this today, dear one. Rest in the simple fact that you are perfectly loved.

Your Eternal Promise, Your forever King

A Letter from the Father - Before I Move, I Speak

I stand at the door and I knock. I send forth a final call to my people but without much avail. I would desire to have my people take heed to my promptings, but many are sleeping and no one is praying! I will be speaking in prayer. My praying ones will know much in the days ahead. They are the ones to whom much shall be revealed.

Do you know the day?

Do you understand which hour of watch you are in? Look around you. A sudden turn of the tide is being enforced. Much to your dismay, I am not reluctant to my coming. I shall say it again, watch and see. Watch and be ready. I am giving you great detail as the day does progress.

Turn through my pages.

I would ask of you to read Ezekiel chapter 2, chapter 12, and chapter 11 - in that exact order. I am speaking to the rebellious at heart. Following me is following my prompting.

A hidden spectacle is being emerged. 

This shall be one that no one has expected. Do you trust me? See to it that you stay situated inside of my Word and none shall come as a surprise to you. Yet, even so, dear one, keep your eyes open and ready to see what has been told since the ancient of days. Yes, I shall say it as truth. Nothing shall come as a surprise to my remnant whom is ready and willing to declare my Name at any cost. 

The Great Pestilence is at hand.

Yes, listen closely. The Great Pestilence of this time shall startle you at it's beginning arrival, but keep your eyes upon Me, dear one. For I have set you higher than the world and this is the very would that I have overcome. 

Take inventory of your heart.

Just as a pace maker accounts for the heart, so does prayer monitor the Spirit. Spring forth into prayer, daily, and I shall give you the unction on what to pray. Remember, I release my plans to the Prophets and the Praying Ones before I set into motion on the earth what I have already positioned in the Spirit. 

Others will be indignant.

I shall remind you again, you are about to stir up the spiritual world with your prayers. Keep a close eye to those around you. Press into the secret place and your battles shall be fought without a hand lifted. I have already foreseen those whom shall try to rise against you and I have set their feet to failure. They will not catch a grip upon you. Although they shall try, their plans will never taste success.

Push past distractions.

Your leadership shall not fail when you abide within the vine. Stay ever so close to me and you shall see mighty things in your time. You know, I speak to those whom I trust. I whisper into the ears of those who lay before my throne. Do not allow sudden distractions to turn your attention to the failing things of this world. Do not become allured by all that sparkles and shines. For even those too shall rust away but my word remainth forever. 

There is a Great Divide.

Situated in this time shall be a great divide, and this shall be one that even my elect leaders shall not understand. Prophesy of this great divide. Make it known that even the powers of darkness shall attempt to invade my church in ways you have never seen. There is only one way to defeat this, and that is through prayer. The enemy has been dividing and attacking prayer for this very season. Listen! This season is one that he has been waiting and warring for. The severity of this is great and my people must pray or they will fall away. They will and I have foreseen this to occur. My people must keep in perfect peace by diligent prayer and constant supplication. Do not relent in this. 

A Great Prayer Awakening is on the Horizon.

Do you feel it? You must because you are moving things in prayer. For I am not coming as a gentle Lamb, but as a roaring Lion. I am gathering my people to the front lines of battle. Whom shall I find ready AND willing to go? Surely those prideful ones who think they are ready, are not. And those humble ones who think they are not ready, truly are. 

You've been Approved.

A constant need for my approval is not living by grace through faith. You have received my approval once and for all through my Son. It is in my love that you are sealed. No longer work FOR approval, but FROM approval. When you know that I have accepted you, you shall move and make decisions in perfected and completed confidence. 

Submit to me - Resist from him. 

I shall seal this letter with a reminder. In order to resist the evil one, you must submit to me in all things, first. Yes, listen to my words as truth. The evil one, that serpent, shall not flee from you without you first submitting to me. He recognizes my authority in you instead of your strength without me. Listen closely, resist this one in all things and refuse to entertain self-seeking thoughts. Be diligent in bringing me glory, stay continuous with unrelenting prayers,  and you shall soon understand more of my plans. 

Your Heavenly Father, God Almighty

A Letter From Jesus - Selah

Dear One,

My voice is seldom heard in the loudness of a busy lifestyle. I am reaching out through your struggle and past your hurt, but do you recognize me?

I am enough.

I often come not as you would originally expect, but I am far greater. To listen is a choice. To serve me is an option. What shall you choose? Mammon or Manna? One is produced through the world, the other is provided from my hand. I have not forced this choice upon you, but you have chosen freely, and by this I am well pleased. 

You have chosen life, and life MORE abundantly.

Oh if you could see the joy it brings the Father when you free your heart to worship and pray! So many options have been warring for your attention. So many people have been tugging on your emotions. So many disappointments have been robbing your faith.

Allow me to ask again, my beloved…

To whom do you serve?

To whom did you already say yes to?

To whom have you asked to be delivered and deliverance is what you received?

Who has walked with you all of your days?

Who has carried your burden, and traded your sorrows for joy and laughter?

Who has made a stream of gladness flow from the depths of your soul?

Who has numbered every hair upon your head?

Who's is it that counted each thought towards you as endless?

Who has placed every grain of sand upon the earth?

Who has measured it's vastness and labeled it as an example of my affection towards you?

Who has called you by name and allowed you to answer?

Who has called you friend; a friend to whom I confide in?

I tell you as truth my beloved, it is I, the very name you call upon, the name to which you pray, the name that is above all other names.

It is I beloved. Your Prince of Peace, your King above all Kings, your Wonderful Counselor, your eternal Husband. It is I, beloved. I am your ever present hope. I fight for you, I tear down strongholds for you, I dance upon streets of emerald and gold for you!

Come and rest here!

Ah, if you could see the excitement it brings when you rest in my presence and receive my finished work for you! You have never witnessed a smile as bright as mine when my thoughts rest upon my Spirit within you. I tell all of Heaven the good works you do with a pure and unhindered heart! A servant you are! A bright light in the darkest hour! It is good that you know my affection for you. It is good that you understand my love. For how can you possibly love another if you do not first understand the love that I have so freely bestowed upon you? I want you to feel good about yourself, my beloved. I want you to live free in my love.

Don’t you see? You have truly been set free!

So often you miss out on the good things that I am doing because you believe there is something better. The evil one has tried to convince you that I am keeping something from you. So it was in the garden. Adam and Eve had everything given to them through the Father, including unbridled love and unhindered presence through His glory. Yet, the deceiver presented them with the option of more.

More always insinuates that you do not have enough.

I want you to know today that you have enough. You have all you need.

I do not give with lack attached, I give with abundance everlasting.

Rest in the truth that you have all you need in Me. Meditate on my Word as it is found in 2 Corinthians 9:8.

- “And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.”

Root this deep within your heart. Write this upon the palms of your hands. All good things come from the Father through me. You truly have all you need in my love, you lack no good thing my beloved.

No good thing I have kept from you.

I satisfy because I am more than enough.

Selah, let it be so.

Your Prince of Peace, El Shaddai

A Letter From God - To His People

Last night I was sitting in my living room, wide awake at 12:30am. Now, if you personally know me, you will find absolutely nothing out of the ordinary about this. I am a "night owl" as some would call it, and I am up very late most of the time. Last night, however, was very different. I felt a strong urge to write. There was an expectancy in the pit of my stomach and I couldn't sit still. I paced the living room floor back and forth and began to pray in the Spirit to try and see exactly what was going on and why I was beginning to feel this way. All of a sudden, the voice of the Lord shot straight through the atmosphere and pierced right through my heart,

"Write these words down. You must share them with my people tomorrow."

Wide-eyed, I froze.

You see, I really want you to understand something. There are many, many nights where I sit up at night and write. It's my passion and journaling is the avenue I use to bring forth God's heart to others. Last night, however, was different. He interrupted my night with an urgency and expectancy I have never experienced until now. 

Church, God is doing something. 

There's a shift that is taking place. 

And here's the thing, this isn't something that is hidden from the hearts of His people. 

He isn' going to catch anyone off guard...who is prepared, that is. 

So here is my disclaimer: this Word the Lord spoke to my heart last night...it's not for the world. This Word is for God's people. I don't know where that finds you today, but I will say this; God is about to move whether we are ready and on board, or not. 

Without further ado, prepare your heart to read this letter below, and I pray it stirs your spirit as it did mine.

A LETTER FROM GOD TO HIS PEOPLE - 3/17/15 - 12:34am

A targeted approach to life shall be made known to many. To whom do you serve and to what do you hold dear? Listen close but look ahead, there afar in the distance calls for a time in which things shall seem unheard of. Has it not been made known in the days of old? Have I not spoken a word and the word shall be fulfilled? The prophetic utterance has been laid to the wayside. Many consider my approach as now a rebuttal in the Spirit. I should say it as truth, the prophetic movement will grow in the days ahead and either you will nurture this movement or you will speak evil of it. There must be a choice.

Why must holy things be called evil and evil things be called good? Is it not enough that my Word no longer goes forth among my people? Has it not made the hearts of the proud filled with fraudulent joy to see the Word of the Lord lay as that of a famine? Shall there be a generation that will be brought forth without the Word of the Lord? Would you see to it that you sit idly by and watch with burning eyes and salty tears, a generation that knows not the name of the Lord?

Oh, how I wish my people would pray! Shall there be intercessors in the land if I lean over my throne to look upon the earth? Shall I find one praying righteous man? Shall I find one warring righteous woman? Whom can stand and declare that they know my heart? Tell me, who can declare that they understand my grieving? My grievance upon this nation is great. I tell you as truth, you look for fire and sulfur to fall from the sky as a rebuke and punishment. I should say that would not suffice to the evil I see run to and from the earth. This shall be a time of withdraw. Never have you witnessed the pulling back of my hand until now. Oh, how the earth will shake and tremble at the great sound of the Lord pulling back His outstretched hand! How terrible it shall be when the rocks and trees must cry out because my people no longer desire to utter my name!

But with this I bring good news. The Prophets shall arise because the prayers of my people are being heard. Intercessors have been calling forth prophets for ages and ages and this shall be the time of fulfillment. I AM rising up men and women in the day to speak of the great things that shall occur before the rest of the world stands as a witness. Yes, listen to my words! Listen to what I AM telling you, dear one! There is a remnant being lifted high to the throne and they are listening in on the conversations of heaven. Intercession is what will bring forth revival! My praying people shall see this in their time!

I laugh at those who say there is no use to pray! Who told you my plans were already placed upon the blueprint? I am awaiting the prayers! Oh, the prayers! I am awaiting for my people to wake up and arise! Come out of the dark places and into my glorious light! Come out of the encouragement movement and step into my repentance of glory and righteous living! Truly this shall be the great awakening, when my people decide that their itching ears have had enough!

Who will stand up to challenge the idols of this time? Who shall rise up and smash the idols of provocative lifestyles? Who shall mock the gods that claim they hold power upon this earth? Is there an Elijah among my people who will run to the Kishon Valley to destroy the 450 prophets of Baal? Is there one who knows me greater and will call upon the name of the Lord?

What about a David? Will I find the one who will stand up against the mockery of the uncircumcised philistine and show forth the mighty day of the Lord through deliverance?

I should say it as truth, I AM searching!

I AM seeking!

My eyes are scanning the earth and I am looking for hearts set ablaze in prayer. I am not looking into the churches; I am intently looking into the secret places. I am opening up the prayer closets!

Shall I find anyone on their knees and calling forth my lost ones? Shall I open the prayer closets and find those whom are holding the heart of Jerusalem?

Oh, has anyone remembered the apple of my eye? I should say it as truth, when you pray for Zion, you pray through my language. When you pray for Jerusalem you pray for my Kingdom!

Set your hearts at ease, set them right, my people! Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and all shall be well with you! Intercede for your coming resting place, for you are grafted into a lineage of ancient Kingdom beauty! The throne of David shall be established and I desire for you to be there to witness such a thing!

Take time and pray. Oh how I desire to see my people weep for what I weep for. Oh how I long to see my people hate sin as I hate sin. We are in a covenant relationship, one body, united, yet we believe in different things! How can I be unequally yoked to an unbeliever of the things that are dear to my heart?

Oh wake up, my people! Awake and see, for I shall not come like a thief in the night to those who are ready, willing, and obedient!

Keep your eyes to the sky and abide deep within the vine. Man shall not know the date and time but keep your hearts aligned with mine and all shall soon resound in my perfect time.

Situate Isaiah 37 within reach at all times and within all places.

Your Heavenly Father, The Almighty One

A Letter from Jesus - Arise, Oh Sleeper

My voice sends out a warning.

Just as an alarm alerts your attention to a fire by first acknowledging the smoke, so my voice calls out to those who recognize the signs before the great day.

Awake awake and arise, oh sleeper!

My Light shines brightest in the center of the fire. My love burns hotter in the center of the flame.

All consuming. 

All devouring.

Do not resent the fire. Do not run from what will refine you and perfect you.

Many times you rebuke the evil one when the ground below begins to shake, but surely listen to my words. Take into careful consideration what I am about to announce. It isn’t the accuser who is shaking the ground you stand upon. No. It is I, the beginning and the end, the Alpha and Omega, the everlasting God, who is shaking your foundations.

I have come to shake all things.

I have come to disrupt the distractions in your life. I have come to set fire to the things that consume your mind and your heart. I have come to test the waters, to pave the way, to let down barriers and build bridges to a land you could not enter if it wasn’t for my mercy and grace. YES! Do you see the unmasking of deceptions? Are you beginning to understand what I am doing? I have come to divide the good from the evil in your heart. I have come to wage a war against the things that steal your attention from mine. My desire toward you burns with compassion and love. For when my eyes are met with yours, my heart beats dangerously. You have billowed your praises to my throne room and I cannot stand to keep myself from you. No. I need to be with you and fill you with my holy presence. 

This intimacy is what you were made for.

My fellowship is everlasting. Come and rest deep into my love. Press past doubt and do not allow your thoughts to tell you that I am not present before you. Surely I tell you as truth, your mind cannot comprehend the spiritual realm of what occurs around you when you praise my Holy name. There is a battle being made for your attention, for your heart. But I have placed a hedge of FIRE around you that no demon can penetrate.

A sword is being placed into your hand.

Truth and honor are yours. Shall you speak and watch the mountains move? Shall you demand and watch the enemy flee? Shall you lavish your love upon me, and I to you? My dear one, all authority and power is in your possession  There is no need to ask for what you already obtain. I purchased your freedom, handed over My power, and poured out My Spirit. So much has been given at such an extravagant price. Surely you cannot comprehend such a thing, so this is why I require faith.

Believe and receive. Believe and set free.

Partake in the marriage feast. Look ahead! Do you see? I have set a table before you in the presence of our foes. The divine occurrence of love shall be seen to all. I find it pleasing for them to watch as I serve you the meal of preparation to the Kingdom. I find it joyful to sit with you and delight in who you are to me. For when I say that I enjoy you, I mean just that. I truly enjoy you my beloved. As a husband loves his wife, so does my love run wild for you. Even more so than the natural affection of man or woman, my love runs deeper, wider, stronger, more profound and robust than any earthly love. 

Prominence has been lifted.

Your majesty awaits for your hand. Shall you step forward to the altar of grace? Shall you accept the invitation of this marriage? Surely you must attend…for you are the bride. The spotless bride who wears white before the King. My heart burns within my chest for you, my beloved. As we are one in the Father, so we are ONE in the Spirit. When I burn, so you shall as well. I say listen my beloved, listen to what I am saying. Be consumed by my all consuming fire. Let it burn within you for all the world to see. Surely no one can deny that you love me. Surely no one can subject you to criticism that you do not in fact know me. For I see your heart and I am reading your lips. They are set ablaze for my Name’s sake. And so all the world shall see what I have done. All the world shall now know of who I am.

Burn for me and this world shall see me.

Burn for me and this world shall know me.

Burn for me and you'll change the world for me.

I have given you a platform of power.

You must announce my coming and my going. I have given you a voice to proclaim to the nations that I soon shall return for my beloved church. Tell them all that I, the one who comes with clouds, shall return quickly and without hesitation. Faithful and True! They shall see the great and terrible day of the Lord! They shall see me and the Spirit will rejoice from within them. This is how they will know that it is I. For the Spirit leads in all truth. Surely I will come again.

Keep your eyes to the sky.

For my creation is unveiling the story!

Wait and be ready.

Wait and listen.

I am closer than you think.

Your Delivered Promise, Jesus

Amy Basel

A Letter from the Father - I AM Enough

You will find in me all that you will ever need, my child. For I find you perfect and blameless in my sight. There is nothing tied to you that cannot be undone, for I break ALL barriers!

A suffering approach to life is not what I have given you, for I have given you peace and joy unending! Stay centered in my love and set your focus upon me and me only. No one can fulfill you and no one can sustain your happiness as I can. Your beauty to me, is not found on your outward appearance. No child, it is far from that. You must choose to see deeper things to which are pleasing to me and me only. You my child, are beautiful, and there is truly no one like you. You sit in the inner most dwelling of my heart, and it is there that I will always keep you.

I am not only the air that you breathe, but I am the Seeker as well. You see, it is I who sought you out first. You had no thoughts towards me, but I was so in love with you, even then. You see, it is by no strength but my own that you can acknowledge me as your true and honorable God. For I have even put that thought into your mind.

Keep following the path you are on, for you are walking directly into my heart. Don’t you see?  I am more than enough for you, my beloved child. More than enough. Circumstances around you have tried to drift you into a new current of perfection. Laugh at such a thing! For what could you do on your own that would bring my plans in a prosperous motion? What perfection could you conjure up through the world that could hold a comparison to the perfection I have given you through the cross? For I should say, you are better off holding a dim candle up to the shining sun! How could the man-made candle ever compare to the divinely created sun? It is simple, dear one, true perfection is found within me.

There is no hidden agenda or code to crack. You live because I died, and you now die in order to live. My love is alive in you when your focus and life’s devotion is set upon me, not yourself. The beauty about death, is that it is never dead. Death always brings new life, and I am always found right in the center of both. Right at the core of it all. Your old nature had to die to bring forth the new! You see, without me, time couldn’t even exist because time soon brings an end to old. Where there is an end, there is always a beginning, and I shall always be found at both. Always. 

You are absolutely beautiful in my eyes. Beautiful are the feet who bring good news to my children, and it is that you will do. You will bring life to the desolate in heart, and you will bring calmness to the storms of life. This is what I have placed into you. You shall never be quenched from my love, nor my Word. Both shall always flow endlessly from your heart and off your lips. You are so beautiful my child, absolutely beautiful. To gaze upon your face shall be found more astonishing than the colors found ever changing in the sunsets.

A masterpiece you are, that I have signed my name to. This shows ownership for all to see, and I shall forever claim you as my love, my one true and honorable servant, friend, and child.

Peace be with you as the days enter on forth, and rest in my presence at all times. I have chosen you, and you are mine. Remember and meditate on this always: I am enough. I was enough in the beginning, I am enough now, I shall be enough in the end. You are taken care of. 

Your Heavenly Father, Almighty God

A Letter from the Father - When I Lead You Out

When I lead you out, you shall always find deep waters fast ahead. For it is in the deep waters that my love abounds quick. You see, my love is dangerously wild. You will never be able to understand the depths, the tides, the rhythms, or the methods to my movements. So it is with the sea. A vast ocean is unpredictable. Even the most skilled sailors cannot prophecy exactly what is up ahead. So it is with me. Even the most intelligent Bible scholars and well learned religious leaders have a troubled time truly “figuring me out.” But ah dear one, I choose for it to be this way because my love is only understood through faith. Faith in Me, faith in My Son, faith in My Word, faith in My timing.

When I lead you out, restrictions dissolve immediately. Time may have a tedious way of trying to convince you that you are losing precious and valuable resources, but truly I say, you do not serve time my dear one, time forever serves you. I have placed you before a wide stretched plain of possibilities. There is not one set plan with one set procedure followed by one set regulation of time. No, I should say not. For I have only given you one set thing in this life, and that is My Plan. Your Path is subject to change, but my Plan remains the same. 

When I lead you out, I will not give you the extravagant details to follow. For if you knew all things ahead, would you need me to lead you? If I were to tell you the who, the what, the when, the where, the why; it would still not be enough because you would soon ask the “how” to it all. You must trust. You must trust when you do not know and you must have faith when you cannot see. I simply ask you to follow. To follow means that there is someone leading, that someone is I, my beloved. I am the perfect Shepherd of your soul. Do you not believe? I have a resume of 66 books found among thousands of Words. Read and believe! Yet read and SPEAK! Faith comes to you by hearing, so proclaim it from the highest peaks! Proclaim it from your lowest valleys! My leadership has never failed, and I will not start this failure process with you.

When I lead you out, keep in mind that it is for your good. When did I utter that Promise that your relationship with me would be “comfortable”? So many times I hear words spoken by religious leaders that being happy and being comfortable is what our relationship is all about. NO! I have not called you to be comfortable, I have called you to be RADICAL! I have not demanded that you be happy, I have proclaimed that you be filled with JOY! Obedience is the method in which I bring about my plans for your life. Always remember that my beloved.

When I lead you out, know that I am proud. It is very important that you know how proud I am of you. This is not measured by your good merits, or your good deeds. I am proud of you because you are strong and you are mine. Yes, I shall say it again to confirm my thoughts towards you. You are strong beloved…your strength has been inherited through the process of your weakness that is in constant need of my strength. I never asked you to be perfect on your own, I have called you to be perfect in my Son Jesus. And so you are. Yet even more so, I am proud of you because you are Mine. You made the choice when I called you forth, and this choice has given you life abundantly. Don’t you see? Haven’t you heard? I HAVE MADE YOU NEW! 

When I lead you out, I lead you in love. Never fall into temptation of believing anything but this Truth. For it is in my love that all fear is blown away. Just like the breeze of a fall day blows the leaves from the tired trees, so my love blows away all fear from your weary soul. 

Come away with me, beautiful one. For I am leading you out…

A Letter from Jesus - All Things New

You are not revised. 

You are not reproduced.

You hold nothing of the old.

Instead, you are new.

No longer alone in this world, no longer waiting. 

I am now here, and we are forever together.

In this relationship that we have built, there are no longer singular notations.

Where there once was “I”, “me”, and “mine”, now resides “us”, “we”, and “ours”.

You see, when I called you into this intimate relationship with me, I called you as a broken person who would soon be made whole.

Your thoughts of being unworthy were of your old nature.

You used to love me as if I would leave.

Do you remember this, dear one?

You loved me in fear and you loved me out of fear.

Trust needed to be built, and this foundation is now strong.

Your unbelief was once a hinderance, and now it is your stepping stone.

You're being elevated to new places. You're paving a new way.

You have reached a direct point of beauty that far surpasses the outward appearance so easily praised by man. Your beauty adorns that of a precious jewel covered until the day to be worn. 

 I have hidden you, dear one.

I have put you away from the eyes of despise and I have prepared you for greater things behind the scenes. No one could have imagined just how much you are to be treasured. I am the Only One fit to mold you and love you exactly the way that you have needed and longed for. I saw deep within your heart and you were in need of my affection. I have chosen you, beloved. You were not assigned to me without choice. No, I should say not. Instead, I sought you out among many. I studied you in extravagant detail to learn how to win your heart. I pursued you diligently and without pause. I left all that belonged to me in order to inherit you.

Don’t you see, love? You’ve been worth it all along!

This love I have given you is real. You have seen false versions of this love. Many, many false versions of this love. Yet now you have known the real thing. The true thing.

You see, my love expels darkness.

My love demolished the idols in your life. When you said yes to me, you weren’t just saying yes to a “chance”. You were saying yes to a marriage, a covenant. I betrothed you, I asked you to start your life over with me, and you said yes. I have committed to take care of you, honor you, and protect you. I have promised to extend my strength to you and to make sure you are never in need of any good thing. Oh beloved, this is more than just invitation of faith, this is an ancient long pursuit of your heart. This is more than just learning about who I AM, this is about being in love with the I AM.

I would enjoy to tell you of something important. You often declare to me, “There is no one like You, Lord!” But I say this as true: There is no one like YOU, beloved! There is no one like you in all the earth and the way that I love you, no one else has seen before.

I love you wholly, intimately, and differently.

Rest in this today, dear one.

Rest in the simple fact that you are perfectly loved.

You have been made new.

Your Eternal Savior,

Jesus

A Letter from Jesus - Look Upon My Hands

Treacherous are the waters ahead if you keep your eyes upon the waves. Fear resounds within focusing on the issues of life. But I have given you an alternate device. I have perceived a greater plan! Perfect love casts out fear. Do you remember this Truth? I, your Lord and your Savior, cast out all evil among you. Look around you, beloved. What do you see? Have you any one left but I? Where did everyone run off to? Ah, but this is pleasing in my sight! Oh how I have waited many years for you. Many, many, settings of the sun have occurred while I waited for your heart, entirely. And now that I have you entirely, I do not relent to give you up to the shifting nature of this world. Many, many, wars have been battled for your heart. Some more serious than others, and although you often felt weary in the fighting, it was then, beloved, that I became your perfect strength.

So tell me, love…why have you found your soul to be downcast? Why believe that I have somehow become disappointed in your weakness? You are walking upon a journey that has not been seen by many. Your obedience and radical nature has set you apart among the rest. To fit in with the crowd is foolish, for you were born to lead the crowd to me! You must not look like those whom walk in darkness; instead you must illuminate my light to all who look upon your beauty. You see, I speak of the beauty that rests within your gentle and contrite spirit. Your heart is that of a diamond among the roughest of plains. A joyous sight to see!

It is important that you know my heart towards you. I have written this letter to your existence because you have been listening to many voices that are not of me. Who has spoken ill of you? I shall justify your integrity! Who has accused your character? I shall write them novels…each one regarding all of your intricate and beautiful characteristics! Who dares to reject you? I shall show them my pierced hands that prove of how loved you truly are! Oh beloved, don’t you see? Have you not heard? My heart beats wildly the moment you shift your focus to the heavens! As the tears run down your sweet face, I count each one and collect them in a bottle that is not to your understanding.  Ah yes, you are loved. You are cared for!

As you read this, feel my love swell up in your heart and overflow into your Spirit! Close your eyes and breathe in the newness of my presence! I am quickening you, beloved! I am restoring all that has been lost. Rest in me.

Just lay your head upon my hands, and as I gently kiss the top of your head, remember that these same hands that hold you in this moment are the same two hands that were stretched from the east to the very far west  upon the wooden pieces of a tree.

These are the very hands that gently washed the feet of my disciples.

These are the very hands that healed the blind eyes of men.

These are the very hands lifted high in prayer as I released my will to the Father.

These are the very hands that broke the bread and passed the wine in covenant.

These are the very hands that twirled the little children around as we danced.

These are the very hands that called Lazarus from out of his sleeping.

These are the very hands that shook violently when my Father’s house turned into a den of thieves.

These are the very hands, beloved, that created this world. Piece by piece. Detail by detail.

And these very hands are holding you now.

Never allow your mind to disconnect you from who I really am.

I am rejoicing over you just as a husband rejoices over his bride! Can you hear me, beloved? I am proclaiming to the world and shouting from the highest mountains in the heavens, “This one is mine! She is spoken for! He is spoken for!” And you are, my dear one. Let it ring throughout eternity! You have been hand picked! You are chosen! You belong to me! It is in my hands that you were created, saved, redeemed, and protected. If ever you should forget, look upon my hands and remember this simple truth: once bound by death but now brought to life, you were worth it all.

Your Everything, Jesus

A Letter from the Father - Come to the Water

Come to the water. Come! May I lead you among still streams? May I plant you along brooks of life? There is a foundation that is being made around you. You are firmly planted. You cannot be moved. You will flourish inside of my love. Burnt offerings were once given as a sacrifice, but truly I tell you, my Son was your sacrifice from sin and death, He is the full renewal in you. I am the Living Water. Those who come to me with thirst that the world cannot contain, I shall pour upon them ALL that I AM. This stream of water is not still, but rushing always. For those who come to Me shall never thirst again. Instead, they shall always be satisfied in Me and my teachings. As a raging river flows, so does my love flow for you…never finding the beginning, and never seeing the end. I shower abundance in it’s fullest to you my child, for you have found great and honorable favor in my eyes!

Imagine a well, sought out by many, but when coming to this well, you realize it has gone dry. How would you react? Now, how would you react if All that I had promised, was gone? You would have the same feelings in the same circumstances, my child. You would expect water in a well, just as you would expect faithfulness in me. Yet, my Spirit testifies to my Word! You have been looking to the wells of life to quench your thirst, forgetting that out of your belly flows the living water! The water you have been seeking has been rushing through you the whole time!

You are washed by the Water of my Word.

I am cleasing you.

I have seen your affliction.

I have seen where you have been.

And so my healing waters flow.

Realize this; feeling disappointed, confused, and full of doubt is of a sinful nature. This is your old man to whom I have ordered you to throw off! You are no longer associated with your old self! I have commanded you to never be unequally yoked with unbelievers, is this correct? Then why do you insist on yoking yourself to your old behiavior and thinking? Why do you partake in an unequally yoked relationship with your old man...your old self? Ah, be free, dear one! The walls you have built up are crashing down around you! The walls you have built up, I am walking through them all! Strip off your old thinking - start living in your renewed mind! Let the scales fall from your eyes! You're free in me, you are free indeed!

My Living Word is true, and I am the one whom sees all things not only in your time, but outside of time. Throw your alabaster box on the floor at my feet, and enter into a time of worship and prayer. Oh my love for you runs wide and delivers deep! This is only the beginning of your journey! Man will try, but none will be able to defeat you. For I hold ALL authority over ALL things.

My presence is what you seek, therefore my presence is what you shall receive. I would never hold myself back from you, just allow me to enter into your pure heart and you shall experience joy like never before! You will cry tears of joy as you receive the revelation of my infinite love toward you! I cannot love you less than yesterday and I will not love you more tomorrow. You cannot be anymore loved than you are right now! For my love is perfect, my love is complete. Receive it, just lay down your thoughts and receive My love in My Son’s precious Name.

Your Heavenly Father, Almighty God

A Letter From the Father - The Light in Dark Places

The pressures of this world may try to diminish your light, but with my love burning inside of you, this shall never transpire. I have set you upon high places so you have a greater advantage against the evil one. The responsibilities you have acquired from me are ones of great importance and value. You see my child, beyond all of the accusations and lies, your purpose still remains. Those whom you have felt hurt you, have no power over your weaknesses. I have not given you a spirit of fear, but of peace and a sound mind. Always listen for my voice in the struggle. 

 I have not placed you in the position you are in to hurt you or startle you. Instead, I am strengthening you to battle the evil one and to show others that it is possible to conquer much with my great strength. The level of your understanding has much to do with how much you allow me to work through you. Do not look to others to validate your worth and calling. They surely do not know anything about you except for your exterior. I however, I know you in full. I created you within my standard of excellence, and you are far from what others may think or say about you.

 I see beauty in your weakness. I see boldness beyond measure. What you look at as a failure, I look at as a way to prove my faithfulness. How could I ever betray you or falsely bear witness to a dream that I have placed inside of your heart? Am I a man that I should lie? Never! All of the things that I have promised are already yours. My living Word reigns against ALL earthly things. Place ALL of your trust in me, my dear and precious one. Choose to believe that my plans for you REALLY ARE GOOD!! What you read in my scriptures are more than just words, they are declarations of what has existed, and what will soon exist. My words are prophetic occurances at their finest. No man shall ever change them or add to them. For what I have said has been placed into existence and they will soon come to pass. 

 Look in between my Words on the pages and what do you see? A space. That space is not merely to take a break in between words, but it resembles something far greater. Those spaces in between my Words are to show you that there is a waiting period. Yes, listen closely to what I am telling you. When you read the Words on those pages, it is not only telling a story, but it is showing you how life really moves. This is wisdom, dear one, listen closely. Without the spaces between the Words, the Words wouldn’t exist to define themselves. The spaces MAKE the words visable to your eye. Without the spaces, there would be continuous amounts of letters all lined up against one another, not spelling or explaining anything at all. Those spaces are necessary to tell the story. My dear one, the spaces in your life, those waiting periods when you are not sure where I am or what is going to happen next, those spaces are necessary to tell your story. Without those spaces of waiting, things would move too fast for your understanding. For it is to your benefit that I give you spaces in life where you have to wait. This is my way of perfecting you, and slowing you down to pause in between blessings. Always look at this parable and remember that without the spaces, there would be no story. 

 I love you dearly and I want you to let go of those things that have been holding you down lately. Yes, the things that you so much think and dwell upon. It is no good for you to be so hard on yourself. I hear your complaints, and although you do not say them out loud with your tongue, your heart is much, much louder because I live inside of you. I created you, my love. I created you with PERFECTION and nothing less. There is no accident or smudge that can be erased because I made you without blemish or stain. You see, I did not just form you into someone then place you on earth to live for a short time. No my dear one, it is much more beautiful and complex than that. Take a deep breath. Now take another one. I counted those two breaths long before I ever gave you lungs to breathe. My story for your life is absolutely beautiful, my beloved. Nothing shall ever be wasted when you walk with me. I could not possibly tell you the things I have planned for the rest of your days! You would laugh at the very thought of what I have purposed for your life! Why you ask? Because you of great faith, even you have trouble believing the magnitude of my love for you. Until you truly grasp my love for you, the plans I have for you will seem outrageous. 

I want you to step to the edge of this cliff of fears and unbelief, and dive deep into my ocean of grace, love, and mercy. My beloved, I just want you to know Me more. The more you come to know who I AM, the more you will realize how loved you really are. I want to take you deeper into my love if you should only let me. I AM an all consuming fire, my love never becomes dim, and it never burns out. And just as a flame burns bright into the darkest night, so will your life illuminate the darkest of hearts. This is my plan for your life. Shine bright for me and you'll change the world for me. 

Your Heavenly Father, Almighty God

A Letter from the Father - A Blueprint for the Days Ahead

My Child, 

I have not given you a spirit of fear, but of peace and a sound mind. You will shine brighter in the midst of the dark circumstances in this world. You will show forth my light in a desolate and weary land. I say listen close and look afar, I am never distant from where you are. Child, open up your heart to me in a new and profound way. Can you hear me? Do you perceive my words and understand the meaning? I am speaking more clear than ever before. Listen very closely to the things that I tell you. Pay attention to detail. For I will save you a lot of heartache and time. May I set upon you a list of my council and wisdom? Read carefully, and listen close to what I am saying, for these are important words;

• Walk in obedience to my words of life, resist the devil and he must always flee, my child. For you have not wavered under his wrath and attacks. Your shield has saved you like it always shall - every arrow has been swallowed by your faith.

•  Learn my Word, for out of it flows a projection of Truth. This Truth shall always pass your natural understanding, but your spirit will know. This is truly how you shall learn who I AM. My Spirit inside of you recognizes my voice. He moves to my calling. He shifts as I shift and He speaks as I speak. Be led my child, follow His lead.

•  Bombarded with joy, you will experience a new and profound existence of my being. Yes, I am much more powerful than you truly know and I am leading you to be a witness of my power.

•  My will for your life is great in expansion. What does this mean for you? This means, I will take you as far as you allow me. Take a moment to ponder the depth to that truth. Your faith and trust in me will determine the height, the depth, the width of my presence and power in your life.

• Project onto others my love that I have so graciously shown you. How shall you do this? Bring them Truth and always be gentle with your words. My Son spoke with such authority as that of a Lion, yet He was as gentle as a lamb. This balance is found pleasing in my sight.

•  Be still, always, and in this you shall know that I am God. I am your God. I will not confuse you or alter your thinking. Instead, I will give you peace and a fruitful mind that the world will never understand. You will always be multiple steps ahead. You shall better know my voice by the peace I will bring to you always.

•  Recommit to me your ways, daily. What does this mean? Give me your word that you will always follow my lead and prompting. You will not become popular among man, but you shall be adored in Heaven and feared in Hell! I say as truth, to recommit your ways to me is not for my sake child, for I know your heart, but this is for your sake so that you are constantly speaking out your commitment to me for ALL ears in the spiritual world to hear. Remind the devil that he has no place in your life by declaring your faithfulness to me through word and deed.

•  My Spirit runs through you like a beautiful stream that flows through a barren desert. Your feelings are an opinion, not a fact. Proclaim my Word. All who seek you for wisdom will ultimately be seeking my Son, because you shall always direct their path to Him. I forever find this pleasing because you are truly living the exact way I have called my children to live. Praise your Almighty Father in Heaven, for He is good all of the time!

•  Lastly, break the destructive habit of conforming to bondage placed by the enemy. He tries to find fault in you, but he cannot. That is why he is attempting to work through others to bring you down. Do not let his folly, inexcusable plans succeed! For you hold power in your words and he is trying every tactic he can find to shut you up! You see my child, I have given you my anointing and authority to speak to others with a powerful tongue. All he can do is try to convince you that this is false and when that fails he will try to shut you up physically. Do not fear, for he cannot hurt you or lay a hand on you. No sickness can touch you. I say, rebuke his plans and rebuke the doctor's report! You are being protected by legions of angels. One after another they fight on your behalf. For this is in the spiritual, and you are in the natural. 

My child, your highest praise is worship, so worship me at all times. Demons must flee at the sound of my Son’s precious name! They cannot stand when the earth shakes with your praise! So always worship my child, and you will forever defeat his army of lies and ridicule. Yet, paraphrase my words and they are not my words. Always speak what I tell you to speak and never add to or take away from it. For this would be distorting my truth and all distortion comes from the liar, the evil one. 

Oh, how I am pleased with you! For so long I have waited for this moment where we would  become this close. Do you feel me? For my heart beats eternally for you, my child. You move me so greatly by your words of passion and praise! Oh how my heart shakes within when you speak my name, for my name was made for one reason and that is for you to call upon, so call upon me ALWAYS!

 Release your tension and turmoil and watch as I turn your darkness to the most beautiful light. For all things brought into my light will shine forever. I must have all of you…would you give me all? Every breath, every tear, every smile, and every frown? Will you lay everything at my feet and allow me to transform you from glory to glory? Even now I am working, even now I am moving. Can you see me? I am all around you and I dwell inside of you. Forget the world and run away with me to a place where you can rest on my chest and feel the beat of my heart. Be my John, and I your Jesus. For you are one that makes my heart beat violently! I love you, I love you dearly! Press into me, and I shall to you. My child, my love, I am yours and you are mine, forever. Take delight in me, and I shall in you. For we are one.   

Your Heavenly Father, The Almighty One

A Letter from the Father - The Waters of Abiding

Speak my child. Raise your head high and speak. To what honor do I owe to anyone in this world? Yet when you speak, I lean in close to listen. I have heard your thoughts. I have seen your eyes stricken with panic. Yes the storm has raged to a higher level of rashness, but to which foundation do you hold fast to? Do you pay mind to the wind and the waves? To what purpose do they serve you? Are you worried that I have left you alone? Tell me how you are feeling and I shall give you my reply. I have counted every worry of your heart, I have heard every accusation in your mind. For I am not as far as you have accused me to be, but no my child, I am much closer than you think.

Look around you. Yes, the waves do exist and you would be right in saying they are strong. Yes, the wind has picked up it’s force and your body seems to be weak as it forces you about. But will you look around you still? My child, who is about you but I? Who else stands with you on the water? I have brought you out onto uncharted waters because it is there that it is just you and I. Look around you beloved, for you are in a very privileged position. The storm may seem strong, the wind may be heavy, and the water may be vast, but look child…LOOK! It is only you and I! This is where my pleasure is found. This is where my heart is made full. For when I bring you to the dangerous areas of territory, it is because you are the only one that follows. No one shall dare leave their place of comfort. Oh, how many invitations I have sent to never hear a response. But you my child…you answer so faithfully “Yes, Father…I’ll go.”

You see, I can trust you. I have ordained all things, placed all things, located all things, and called all things, yet I trust that my work can be brought through you to change this world. But do you believe that, beloved? So often your thoughts contradict my Truth. So often your doubts hinder my blessings. Yet, if you shall allow me to change your attitude, you shall see that your attitude is what was actually subtracting time from your clock. I am not confined by what I have created, therefore time is of no essence, only measure. But to you, time is the tool to which all is compared and contrasted. Your attitude and faith shall always determine how much time you actually have. If you uphold an attitude of thankfulness and stand strong on faith that is rooted in my Son, than you shall see time as if it could stand still to how fast I will bestow my blessings upon you. But if you waver and walk in unbelief, you shall be paralyzed by the spirit of fear. Yet behold my beloved! My perfect love casts out all fear! What wonderful news my Son has brought! Would you allow me to do my good work in you so I can bring my glory through you? Say that you shall allow my Spirit to do His required work in you! 

I know that you cannot see the desired end. I know that as you look out from standing upon the water, your vision is limited. But trust me beloved, you are exactly where I want you. You are without a reason or a why, and this makes my heart filled with joy. This may sound confusing to you, but do not allow that spirit to torment you into thinking that I am not working. I do not need your human knowledge to bring to pass what I have promised. For if I have said it, so it shall be. This storm is meant to select you, correct you, and perfect you. With my hand upon you, no harm shall fall upon you, no I should say that I will never lead you to destruction. Just look around you…it’s not so frightening after all, is it? The less you see, the more that’s in store. The less you feel my presence, the more opportunity I am giving you to understand that I am MORE than your “feelings”. I am making your faith strong…so be strong, beloved. Greater is my Spirit in you. Never forget that. And just like any storm you have come to know, this too shall pass. But until then…abide. Abide my beloved. Just abide.

Your Heavenly Father, The Almighty One

A Letter from Jesus - The Lion & His Heart

The nature of the Lion is one to be examined. Although fierce, the Lion is also moved by love. He is a protector at heart and he is a provider by nature. To come to understand the Lion’s attributes, you would need to understand his habitat. He is adaptable in all circumstances but he is not moved by his surroundings. Where he steps, he reigns. Where he moves, he has dominion. My people call out to me as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, yet they know nothing of my nature. They know very little of my habitat. What is Judah, to you? To whom do you say that I am? You see, I come as fierce as a Lion, but I love as gentle as a Lamb. How can these two natures exist in One? Allow me to explain…

So often I am portrayed as a King upon a throne. And so it is. This I AM. Yet when man refers to me as only this King upon a throne, there is then created a disconnect from intimacy in relationship. I am not as the Kings upon this world's reigning stature. As Holy as I am, I am still the gentle servant that you once fell in love with. A servant’s heart never graduates to an accelerated level of dispute. I never leave my stature as servant. How unapproachable and untouchable the religious people have made me out to be! I do not sit on a throne and reign down judgement to break hearts! I am endlessly interceding for you and your well-being! I am leaning to the Father and pointing out the beautiful obedience in your heart! I am calling forth my Holy Spirit and directing Him to where He needs to lead you next! Never allow the world to harden your heart to my love. Never believe the lie that I am “too far away” or that I am “too holy” to care. Instead, it is because of my holiness that I am close and care deeply for you. I am gentle, yes, but I also love relentlessly. I do not give up so easily when man pushes me away. You see, my patience and compassion are not birthed from weakness, instead it comes from my unyielding strength. The ability to love without expecting love back is what love is truly all about. If it is not sacrificial, it is not love. 

Yet as a Lion is fierce, so it is with me. I tell you as Truth, I shall never sit idly by and watch as you feel life is too hard. Never! I shall never sit and ponder the thought of helping you! Your present help is my Holy Spirit! But understand this, dear one, I am jealous for you. I have given you no permission to lavish your love on things of the world. I will never permit your heart to instead love someone more than myself. I have full dominion over your heart, this was the desired purpose my Father established. Some may call this selfish, but I call this protection. You were created whole and I want you as whole. Never will I settle for half of anything given from you! My beloved, I run to be with you. The moment you lock eyes with mine, I become weak with love and place my hand upon my heart as if it has stopped beating for eternity. How can you possibly take my breath away? How can the creation cause the Creator to marvel at their beauty? Yet, so it is! You captured my mind, you took over my thoughts, and when I created you, you were birthed out of love. So as a Lion watches intently over his Lioness, so I watch my protection over you.  

You must know this…in this you must receive full revelation: I died to keep you. Eternity would not have been “good” if you were missing from it. I could not see to it that you would not be here. I have seen the day that you will stand before my throne and oh the beauty you possess! Dressed in white and lavished in righteousness, you will bow with joy as your King takes your hand for all the world to see. Strive with obedience and love me greatly. This as your King, is what I require of you. And oh how proud you have made me thus far…

To the Beautiful One in the Broken Relationship

   Relationships are important. Who you choose to marry is one of the choices you make that will ultimately play a major role when setting the course for your future. Now, I have been told by many christians that the topic of relationships/marriage pales deeply in comparison to preaching the gospel, and that it is not important to talk about. I agree, to the first statement, but disagree to the latter. I am in no way insinuating that who you marry is equally as important has your salvation. That would be silly and quite foolish. I am, however, saying that the topic of relationships/marriage should also not be ignored. The Gospel is all about what Jesus did through love to mend and restore our relationship with God and to also teach us how to love and restore our relationships with others. Sadly enough, we have divorced the two and earthly marriages are suffering due to covenants being made with the wrong people. I receive countless messages/emails and come across many incredible men and women who are in some of the worst relationships. They feel trapped, yet abandoned. They are with someone, yet alone. And although each personal situation is wildly different, they all have one detrimental thing in common: fear. Fear of being alone, fear of the future, fear for their life, fear that God is angry with them for staying, I have heard it all. What needs to be understood, however, is simply this: fear paralyzes and God's love sets free. We have a choice.

So today the Lord has placed it upon my heart to write a letter to those of you who are not yet married but are in broken relationships. Maybe you are considering leaving yet are looking for a "sign" on whether you should; let this be your sign. Maybe you don't even realize how bad it is and need some clarity; let this be your new perspective. Maybe you just got out of a broken relationship and keep wondering if you made the right choice; let this be your confirmation. Or maybe this isn't for you, but you know someone who is struggling; send this to them. Either way, I have been there, and I speak from experience. I know someone will need this, so prepare your heart and allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you as He so desires.

---

To the beautiful one in the broken relationship,

   Forgive me if I overstep and climb over all of the boundaries and walls that you have built up so high, but what I have to share with you is more important than both of our comfort. My questions may seem harsh, but I love you too much to offer anything other than honesty. So, allow me to begin. Who was it that lied to you and told you that you didn’t have another choice? Who succeeded in convincing you that compromising who you are was the only way to heal the loneliness you have felt? My heart breaks for you right now because the lies somehow became more attractive than the Truth. My heart breaks for you right now because you’re hurting and you’re too strong-willed, yet embarrassed to admit it.

This isn’t what you wanted. Think about it. Run back through the plans the Lord has shown you for your life and tell me, will you get there with this person? The answer to that question is the same answer the Lord has been giving you every time you choose to spend time with them. It’s no, and it will always be no, beautiful one. Why? I can’t help but sigh, because where do I start? Why does God want to separate this person from your life?

Their thoughts towards you have remained impure.

The way they speak to you and of you is not pleasing in the Lord’s sight.

They're always trying to "change" you.

They aren't worried about losing you because they don't know your worth.

Your dreams are the foundations of their jokes.

They have never honored you. They have never encouraged you.

But most importantly, this person cannot love you the way you deserve to be loved and they won't allow you to love them the way you know you can.

Listen, this significant other may want to love you and treat you like the amazing person that you are. They may even tell you that they will. But here is the solid, transparent truth; they just can't. That foundation is missing from their life. They first need to understand the love of God, and don’t you for a second buy into the lie that you are the only one who will ever be able to get them there. God did not design you to become their personal savior. Oh, and the One and only Savior that they do have? Be honest with yourself, they've never truly been interested in that One either. So tell me, explain to me why you feel as if it is your job to to help them, to heal them, to save them? Yes we must extend grace, and yes we must witness and show love to everyone, but God never intended for you to become a doormat in an unequally yoked relationship during that process. That is not how our Heavenly Father works and brokenhearted is not how He has intended you to live. 

I just wish you could see yourself the way that our Heavenly Father does. I wish you could see yourself the way others see you. Your heart runs deep with rhythms of grace and love and you’ve always been none the wiser to it. The enemy has tried to distract you from understanding who you truly are because he knows that within your identity is where you will find the Truth. This is where you will find the Word of God breathing life and creating things that are not as though they were. He knows all too well that sharing your life with the wrong person will hinder, disrupt, and derail your future. He knows that all it takes is the simple choice of you believing the lie that you will never deserve anything better. I just wish you could see that. I wish you would untangle yourself completely free from, (let's just call it what it is), this bondage. I wish you would take a moment to listen to that still small voice that is telling you to walk away. The Holy Spirit leads in all Truth and He wants to lead you back into the arms of Jesus.

If I could, I would scream this from every rooftop, but instead I will whisper it in prayer so that it reaches your heart:

You are loved by God so deeply that you will never have to compromise yourself, your values, your dreams, or your goals, just to be with someone…just to be married. 

That is not what your Heavenly Father stands for. That is not how your love story has been written. Instead, there is someone right now who will one day thank you for trusting the Lord even when it seemed like you would be alone forever. There is someone who God has had His eye on to be your companion, and let me tell you, they cannot wait to share their life with you. There is someone who is currently learning how to love you, even without seeing you, as Christ always has. Trust me when I tell you, they really are there, and I am convinced that you will one day see the right one walk into your life as soon as you let the wrong one go.

You know, I was once in a broken relationship myself. Three years had stolen all of my joy, happiness, confidence, and self worth. Why? I wasn't with the right person but I was too emotionally connected to leave. Although heartbroken, staying with someone who never truly loved me was easier than walking away and being completely alone. I was governed by fear. Yet, the Lord saw it all. When I cried; He weeped. When I was being mistreated; He ached with compassion. As my heart began to crumble into 1000 broken pieces, all of heaven became silent as the Father stood from His throne. He had seen enough. My Protector was taking action. Do you know what the Lord told me in a dream one night when I was struggling with letting this relationship go? With a deeply grieved heart, yet stern and loving voice, He said,

"Amy, you will never be able to experience all that I have planned for you if you continue in this dangerous relationship. He may want to spend his life with you, but I died to have eternity with you. I have loved you first, I have loved you greatest, and I will love you whole again. But will you love me back?"

He was asking for my decision. He loved me too much to make the decision for me, but He also loved me enough to never quit pursuing. He died for me, but He also died for my freewill to choose. I chose Him. I chose life, and I received life with abundance. And so with this, I am offering you the same choice He gave me. You are loved more than you know. You are stronger than you think, and the Lord is more than able to restore everything that you've lost. He is healer. He is Emmanuel - He is with you always. Choose Him.

A Letter from Jesus to the Surrounding Generations - Do I Have your Attention?

Before you read, I would like to explain a few things. I have been journaling for over four years now, and never have I had God speak a message like this to me. So much is happening in the world around us, and there is a war for our time, attention, and inevitably our hearts. God pulled me aside on January 14, 2013 and portrayed the urgency of repentance like never before. So why am I posting this now? Because His message of repentance will never change. He is eagerly awaiting for a response. The message I am sharing needs to be declared for this time, today. His love is stronger than all things in this world, and His heart is yearning for us as a GENERATION to come forth and follow His lead. We have been given ALL power and ALL authority to rise up and take what is rightfully ours, if only we should desire this. The letter you are about to read is very dear to my heart, and I demand that you search the scriptures instead of just believing every word of it. He always confirms all that He declares and to know that is to understand the wisdom of what is to come. I cannot explain His eagerness and devotion when He was speaking these words to me, but He is calling out to those who are ready to take on this world. He is looking for lives that have been freely thrown down as a living sacrifice to His plans and purposes. All we have to say is, “YES”. I hope this stirs your heart as it did mine…

Spacious are the ways of my children.

Why leave so little room for the good things, but keep an open door for evil? Tell my children to pay special attention to their motives. Your motives truly determine exactly the reward you shall receive. I reward rightfully or I do not reward at all. You see, so many look to false expectations to determine their happiness. This truly saddens me because false expectations are things not aligned with my will. Pleasure to the eyes is evil if it does not refresh and uplift your spirit. 

Listen all you who can hear.

Take heed to what I am saying. My love surpasses all wrongs, but to whom shall you serve in your daily lives? Mark my words as truth, I shall never tread upon evil ground and say that it is good. Such a statement would be a lie. Such a thought would be a fallacy. To excuse evil would be allowing satan to gain momentum in a foothold that was never meant for him to take. Release pressure and turn away from his ways. He attacks my children with subtle things. The less evil it seems, the more deceitful and evil it truly is. Penetrate through the outer surface of the natural eye and allow your spirit to see the things unseen.

Hate what I hate. Love ONLY what I love.

Be a light to shine on the darkness. For those with darkness may soon despise, but better it is for you to be despised for shining my truth than to be loved for ignoring the sin in others. Be bold in love. You do not truly love your neighbor if you watch them freely partake in sin. I say listen! It is better for you to be without evil friendships than to exist popular in the midst of witchcraft! Higher are my ways, so higher I have called you to fly. Full of purpose are my plans, so consecration is what I have called you to. 

Trust that in all things I am working.

Trust that in all things you are being carried and cared for. Promote peace and love what is good and holy. I say as truth, your eyes are what the evil one is after. If he can tarnish and corrupt the eyes of my children, he can conquer and capture their hearts. 

A hasteful day is spent worried about the lives of others.

Turn away from such evil things! Run from them with all diligence. If my word was opened as much as internet  pages, my Kingdom would be reigning here on earth in such a strong measure that surely my Son would find His Bride, pure and ready for the marriage feast! Distractions are deadly. What turns you away will eventually capture your heart. 

Do not let this message go unnoticed.

All you who can hear, listen. Place your intentions on that of the eternal, and eternal your results shall be. Do not draw out of dry wells then curse me for the lack thereof. Come to me, the ONLY fountain that’s spring runs abundantly. From everlasting to everlasting, it is I, Jesus, who fulfills!

Never will there be another.

Do not wait for something better because surely I tell you it will never come. Even evil knows my name that has defeated it’s power. Even they submit to my authority. So why is it that my children do not? How foolish to lay down your life for what cannot restore that life to a new beginning! Turn to me and I shall restore, rebuild, and uplift a new generation who shall move to the sound of my voice and love to the very beat of my heart! Ask me for generations and I shall give you generations to restore! Nothing is impossible if only you shall believe my beloved! All authority is yours through me, and all authority is mine through the Father. Nothing I give to you that I do not already have, and nothing do I have that has not been given to me freely from the Father.

Do you understand what I am revealing to you?

My lessons are found within my Word. Read and receive. Read and put into motion. My time of return is closer than you believe, but further away than what you currently think. Keep your eyes to sky, your feet upon my foundation, and your heart within mine.

A Letter from Jesus: This is who I AM

My heart is kind and my love for you is everlasting. If ever you had to remember two things, those would be the two of my suburb choosing. Your salvation has been rooted deep within my heart. Your purpose has been channelled among the depths of my grace.

For every need that you find…for every need that you withhold…know that I AM. My answer to all of your conquests; I AM. My response to all of your unanswered prayers; I AM. 

I AM…

Your ever present Help in your greatest time of need…

Your strength that rises above when you feel too weak to move forward…

Your heartbeat when your very heart seems to be broken…

The resurrection blood flowing deep within your veins….

The only One who intricately knows you. Inside and out…

The laugh that continuously flows in the faces of your foes…

The Everlasting light to which will guide you through the darkness…

Your closest, most greatest friend. Your trusted confidant… 

The breath that has given you life, over and over and over again…

The Word to which you have based your life upon…

Your Foundation. Your sturdy ground to which you stand thereon…

Your ever confident Provider. I see your needs and I exceed them…

Your first love. I’ve loved you the greatest, I’ve loved you passionately, I’ve loved you first…

Enthralled by your ever-radiant beauty. You overwhelm me with love.

Jesus. Your reflection, your righteousness, your purpose. 

I AM your Eternity.

If I were to explain to you the conquering depths of who I truly AM, your time could not hold an ounce of reflection as to how long it would truly take to reveal. How could love be explained so simply, so precisely? It’s more than a feeling. It’s more than a simple emotion. So many of my children cast the word, “love” around as if it were an adjective in the english language to describe the value of something. Oh but how much MORE is my love than this word being used so loosely! Who knows of a love that would hurl your body to a broken wooden tree so that every ounce of your being could profess the vastness of your affection? Who knows of a love that would move it’s Creator from His rightful place on His throne, to come down and walk among the created? Who could wildly explain the countless thoughts of adoration and value that I deeply feel by just seeing a glance of your beautiful face?

Do you know the way you move me? Could you understand how severely prominent I am with every detail of your extravagant life? Could you possibly surrender your earthly mindset for a moment in time, to grasp the deep compassion I have for your heart as it beats to the sound of mine? My child, limitless are my feelings towards you! Perfect are all of my plans that have been designed with you in mind. Not a moment has been lost or disregarded. Not one motion that you have made as been overlooked. You have my full attention. My beloved, you always have.

To better understand my love for you, you must not curse the process I have placed you in. To better understand my passion for you, you must look past the broken pieces. For I tell you as truth my child, my intercession for you has never stopped. It has never ceased a day since you came upon the earth. All of Heaven is shifting at this very moment when you direct your gaze to my throne room. Surely all of Heaven awaits as you pray your heart’s desires to the Father. We lean in closely not to hear you more precisely, but to take a look deeper into your heart. For the heart tells all things, my beloved. Although the brokenness seems to be a point of pure transgression, I want to invite you to trust me a little deeper. I am working all things to strengthen you for the next season of your life. You need to be strong my Beloved. You need to be reliant only on me and never look to another to provide you with the strength to continue on to what I have placed before you. For surely I tell you as truth, my love rages wildly over you. I would fight one thousand legions to bestow your heart and conjoin it unto mine. For I know no other love than this. My beloved, this is who I AM. This is who I always will be. Keep your mind rested on the truth that I will never change. What I say now, is what I will continue to say for the rest of eternity. 

Place your hand into mine. Look closely at the scars that still remain. These scars are not to remind you of pain…these scars are to remind you that all things done in the accordance of my will, have a purpose. These scars upon my hands prove that everything that is of Me, is eternal. These scars will not fade, and neither will my love for you. Take joy in me, my beloved. Take joy and know that I AM your true salvation. I AM your hope. I AM your peace. I AM the Lover of your very soul. Take joy my beloved…take joy.

A Letter from the Father - Turn the Page

Turn the page. It’s time to turn the page to reveal what comes next in this story. I have kept you here, studying each word perfectly. You have examined each sentence; you have sought out each meaning. You see, I have given you a moment in time to which you were made to stand still. Even the resting itself is a test of true faith. The blinders were put on to help you focus, but now through the strengthening of maturity, the blinders have been cleared away. Your single-focused vision has been set upon me, and this is what I find pleasing.

 Now allow me to ask you a series of questions. Keep in mind that I am not looking for the answer, but merely earnestly showing you the Truth. When I ask a question, I ask for your benefit. When I ask a question, I am revealing who you are.

•  To whom do you belong?
• Who has the final say over your life?
• Who has possession over your heart?
• Who has adopted you into a life of righteousness?
• To whom do you serve?
• Who has shown you love and taught you with that love?
• Who saved you, healed you, and sealed you with the Holy Spirit?

 Do you see a pattern in my questions, beloved? Has your answer to these series of questions resounded as “man”? I should say not! I am the answer and I do not permit to share this with anyone else! So tell me, dear one, if man has not brought you this far, who is to say man will continue you further? I will declare this loud and I will tell you as Truth, I am your Rear Guard, your Provider, your Teacher, your Faithful Friend, your Redemption. I am your Comforter, your Eternal Promise, your Saving Grace, and your Unbroken Faith which sets you apart. I am your Endorser, and I am your Dependability in a changing world. Do not reside to being thrown into a crowd of followers, but instead stand apart as a born again believer and by this you shall be known as a leader.

 Do not complicate what I have made known so clearly. Be holy, for I am holy. And do you understand why I AM holy? This is not a character trait that you can obtain through practice or even time spent with me. To be holy means to be set apart in a sect far off and never blending. It means to be in comparison with no other. You cannot obtain this through study, legislation defenses, or hands laid in blessing. To be holy is to inherit all that I am through all that my Son has been and will continue to be. Everything in this world shall fade away, but my Word shall remain forever. I shall say this again, you cannot obtain anything through your works, you obtain through the Blood!

Now as you turn the page to this next season of your life, take with you all that you learned from the previous pages before it. A new chapter means a new beginning, not a new story. The story stays the same, however the story plot is always subject to change. I will tell you this as truth, and this will give you comfort in the days ahead; I have gone before you and I remain where you soon shall be. The unfolding of your life is that of a sunset: always beautiful and always providing meaning. Some pass by the sunset with a glance, others stand and study the sunset in all of it’s splendor. It is appreciated only by some. Yet the sunset never worries itself with who observes it, the sunset instead radiates its beauty regardless. And so it is with you. Radiate my love to this world no matter who notices it or regards it as worthless. Nothing ever goes unnoticed by me my beloved, and that is all that truly matters.

A Letter from the Father - Free All Along

Born with a purpose intended, no disruption can hinder my plans. Beloved, until now, you never realized how enclosed you were. So many words spoken over you that were not of me. So many lies poured into your mind hoping to find it’s way to your heart. Don’t you see? The enemy has a desire to keep you within close diameters. He sees your wings. He sees the Spirit within you. He sees your limitless destinations. If only he could stop you…ah but beloved, he cannot.

I have unlocked the cage door that has kept you secluded from the world. Your current struggles have deceived you into believing that you are frozen within a set of standards. I am breaking open this prison of religious tendencies! I am not a set of rules to be followed, I am a God who is to be loved. And here in my love you shall find your freedom. Here in my love you are not held captive, but you are set free.

Come outside of yourself, beloved. My forgiveness has covered you entirely, but it was so hard for you to believe. The record of wrongs you have so diligently kept blew away with the wind of my Spirit the moment you let me in. 

There is no fear in freedom and there is no freedom without my love. The only existing limitations are those you build among yourself. So tear down the strongholds with my words of authority and power.

Look and see. The door has been opened, you’ve been given a choice.

Those whom I set free are free indeed, and you, my cageless bird, have been free all along.
