Press in to reach Jesus
Press on and touch Jesus
Press on, Press on, this one thing do
Forget the things behind
Press onward to the prize before
Press onward with this mind!
Mark 3:10-11 NKJV
For He healed many, so that as many as had afflictions pressed about Him to touch
Him.
Mark 5:27-29 NKJV
When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.
For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body
that she was healed of that plague.
2 Cor 4:8-10 NKJV
We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed ; we are perplexed, but not in
despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed — 10
always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus
also may be manifested in our body.

We all may have heard the statement, "You may be the only 'Jesus' that people see." I know it sounds cliche, but isn't it true? This week I seemed to realize how true this statement is. Do you realize that as you reach out to the hurting, the sick, the broken in true love that they are seeing 'Jesus'? What about when you stop for the homeless man on the street to bring him a meal, what if that's their first encounter with Love? Do you realize that taking the time to mentor a child could be the only 'Jesus' that they see?

I am so moved by these stories of His Love. I heard Dan Mohler giving a testimony of him sharing the love of Jesus. He went and brought a homeless man to Walmart to buy him some clothes. Dan was able to share the love of Jesus to each person he came in contact with, as those Walmart employees were asking, "Why are you doing this?" What the last lady at the cash register said really touched my heart and awakened something within me, she said, "What if everyone in the whole world did this, loved like this?"

What if we showed the true love of Jesus, out of a pure love relationship with Him and not out of trying to do good works to earn God's favor? What would the world look like?

From the time in the garden until now, we have thought of ourselves. We have "tried" hard to love but mostly in our own strength. Many times we have been hurt by "love" then we have a warped or perverted sense of what love really is. We have loved how we have known how to love and as a whole, we know very little. Do you know that you cannot naturally love like Jesus? I believe this is supernatural, to love like Him. In ourselves, we can't even love God the way He loves us. So many times in our natural capablities to love, we are showing love but want others to return that love. It's often times more about "self", and what benefit it is to us. I don't believe that Jesus loved with strings attached, do you?

Love does not seek it's own. God is LOVE. The very essence and nature of God is love and when we are one with Him, His love nature invades us, because He is Love. I believe this is a precious gift, this gift of love. I believe as we look into the eyes of Love, we will see His love for each person that we encounter and we will be transformed by Love. I believe that everytime Jesus looked into peoples eyes that He saw what the Father saw in them from the beginning. He is transforming us and we are becoming love. As we become love, we will change the world through the love of Jesus.

Jesus says a prayer for all believers in John 17:24-26 NIV "“Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.

25 “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. 26 I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.”

We may think that "to be with me where I am" is one day when we get to heaven. We are with Him now, seated in Heavenly places. He says that He has made Himself known to them "in order that the LOVE you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them." This is how we can love like He does because He Himself is in us. When we love like Jesus, it's Him in us, loving through us. This is the pure love of Christ.

I keep seeing an image in my spirit of a transparent face of Jesus overlapping the faces of the children of God. As we "put on" His face, we see through His eyes. Then, we can see people for their worth and who they really are instead of what we see with our natural eyes. When we are looking through the eyes of Jesus, we can see past the drug induced state of a prostitute and see the value she has as a daughter of the King. When we see through the eyes of Jesus, we can see the heartache and pain through a forced smile of a man who is going through a marital separation. When we see through the eyes of Jesus, we will see the least of these and see "Jesus" in them as well. Then, as we become love we can see that these people are all screaming, "Show us the Father!" When we see through His eyes, we see LOVE! He is in us and our old self is removed and we partake of His divine nature.....LOVE. Love has invaded our hearts and His love is being displayed about the whole earth!


2 Corinthians 3:18 (AMP) 18 And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit.

I want you to view this as a new day, a new time, and a new order. Put troubling things behind you and look for new opportunities to better express My kingdom. I speak not only of the realm of the Spirit, but also of the natural realm and your sphere of influence. This is a time when simplicity will be of greater importance than complexity, says the Lord.
2 Corinthians 1:12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that we conducted ourselves in the world in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and more abundantly toward you.

August 1, 2014. An opportunity will soon come that you have thought would be good. When it comes it will not be as easy as you thought. The work it will cost is greater than you imagined. Don’t quit once you have started. The work will be worth the reward. Stay with it. Don’t stop. Once it is done you will be so fulfilled. Hasn’t it almost always been this way? The work to bring it about is harder than the vision that comes. Don’t turn back. Keep going for the reward.
Hebrews 10:38-39 (MSG) “But anyone who is right with me thrives on loyal trust; if he cuts and runs, I won’t be very happy. But we’re not quitters who lose out. Oh, no! We’ll stay with it and survive, trusting all the way.” Bev Robinson

August 1, 2014. Be careful not to look for sins in others and then be their judge and jury. To do so is inconsistent with your humble and gracious spirit. Don’t sell yourself short to one of the most effective schemes of the devil to cause dissension and chaos. Concerning sins in others, stop and consider well your own sins. Deal with them until your heart is clean and pure. Then your love will be felt by and evident to them. Both you and they can then be happy and harmonious. Keep fervent your love for one another.
1 Peter 4:8 (NASB) “Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.” Ras Robinson

I Am the God of all comfort, I Am the God of all consolation, I Am the God of all wisdom,and the God of all understanding. I Am the God of your way, if you will allow Me to be. I Am the God who will make ways. I bring water to dry places and I will cause the wet places to become dry. I Am the God who levels mountains and makes them straight. I Am the God that causes you to develop hinds feet and to go over the difficult places with ease. I Am your Father, your Abba, your Daddy, your friend, and your counselor. I Am your provider, and your distinguished Friend. I Am the One who speaks in the night season when no one else is there. I Am the One who gives you sleep when you cannot close your eyes. I Am the God who wakes you up in the morning and give you a fresh mercies for a new day. I Am the God who causes you to rest peacefully, even in the midst of difficult circumstances and situations.

I Am the One who walks beside you, to guide you along the narrow path, and I will never leave you nor forsake you. I Am the God who understands, and sees, and knows what you are going through, and I offer unto you My great counsel and wisdom if you will allow me to. I will speak and if you obey, I will speak again. I Am your love. I will never give up on you, just stay in My hand. I will continue to make you into My very image, until in the end you look like Me. When you awake, you will look like Me, it is My purpose, and My design, and I take delight in forming you and fashioning you into My very image. Sometimes this is difficult and hard for you to understand as you go through and I say, “This is not my way”, so I must change that in you. Do not refuse to bend, for then it is harder on you, so it seems as if you are breaking, but I will not let you break if you yield. I correct all those I love, it is always for your good, to make you grow up and mature, I Am your Father God.

As you renew your mind and change your thoughts to come in line with Mine, you will find that your desires will change to Mine as well. You will look at all things in your life from Our Kingdom perspective. You will simply do My Word and your delight will be found in the doing. You will understand the great prosperity found in obedience, and you will be happy and your joy will be full. The deep secrets hidden in My Word will be the treasure that fills your life and then you will experience My peace that makes you whole in every area of your life. These are the days that many longed for, to see the sons of God rise to their rightful place.

"And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him. For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth." (Heb.12:5-6)
"As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness." (Psa. 17:15)
"But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed." (James 1:25)

Liberty and Justice for All

8/1/14

“Remember the days of good, the days of abundance and not having to go without. Remember the fun vacations if you’ve had them. Remember what it was like to be free. For in the name of liberty and justice for all, there is a twisting of what that means being perpetrated, and severe consequences are coming forth for the lack of support of My people. They say all is well. They say they are doing this for freedom for all that are coming. But that is a great deception.

They are not benevolent towards people for the shoulder of the body of America is separated from the back and arm, in a way that tears at the heart of Americans. They have no concept of what it means, anymore to be you. Your leaders have gone the way of Baal and bowing to plans of their own. They think they are ushering in a new day, and precipitating these changes, will lead to desired outcome. But the outcome of America is in MY HANDS, for I AM LORD OF ALL, not just America. The church has had the same problem of leaders being out of touch with those in the pews.

America will not bow to ME, thus it must be humbled. People will be saved, for I have put My heart in many hearts here, and there will be an awakening like never seen before, but it will be very bloody. Nothing will be the same any more. But those who know Me will pull together and learn what it means to die to self. They will learn what it means to lay down your life for a friend.

Go into your hiding place and stay a while with Me, for I am lowly and HUMBLE of heart. I will lead you in the direction you need to go. But you must take the time to come aside. The enemy means to distract you. The enemy means to stop you. But I have surprises and suddenlies for all. So don’t be dismayed at his tactics. That heaviness you feel is the burden on many in this nation who are alarmed at how fast things are changing, and the enemy is trying to keep you down from coming forth in what I have for you. There is a removing of complacency happening. I have called forth to bring release for many overcome by the oppression and blindness. Many are waking up from the spirit of slumber I allowed to come over this nation. They are awakening because I have allowed them to wake up.

For the apathy and the complacency were judgments for all the murder of babies, all the murder of young people in your streets. They want guns taken away, yet daily they murder innocent babies. The hypocrisy and perversion is a stench in My nostrils. The blind are leading the blind and both will fall into the ditch! You allow murder and violence and witchcraft in the media, even in children’s cartoons, then are dismayed that youth are killing each other. Parent let TV educate their children because they are too busy earning a living to survive, and become slack in their responsibilities in raising children. Generations of neglect & abuse have gone unchecked.

You harm children through drugs, and vaccines, then make drugs to treat the conditions you caused by your sorcery. Barrenness will grow till it will be so hard for people to get pregnant, they will wonder why there is so much of that problem. But wonder not, for the barrenness caused by contaminents and food is nothing compared to the spiritual barrenness I have brought of not hearing My voice, and of confusion, because America has been so unwilling to repent, and have given themselves over to idolatries & perversion.

Yet there is a remnant in the church who knows and sees, and still hear, because they have remained faithful to Me. And because they have stood against injustice, though for some their methods have not always been with much grace, I will hear the voices of those crying in the wilderness, and those weeping behind closed doors, who cry out between the porch and the altar for the sake of the people. Many will be saved, though at a great cost. There will be a tsunami of people flooding into the church when I break through.

Do not be afraid My church. I will give you strength and courage you need to get through what is coming. But be not deceived by those who speak flattering words, and conjoling voices that say no harm will come to us. There were Jews in Germany who thought the same thing. They thought, they would not come for them. They thought, surely God will not allow that. But prophecy will be fulfilled. I saw everything ahead of time, remember?

I’ve said, my people would give themselves willingly in the day of My power, have I not? Martyrdom is a nasty word in a church filled with fluffy teaching and no conviction. The awakening will come as you break free of your complacency, apathy and somnolence, and learn to care for one another, and not just yourself. Jezebel spirits have lulled many into bitterness and hatred, religion with no grace, and hypocrisy of the highest order. But I AM coming to set the captives free, and the FEAR OF THE LORD WILL FILL MY HOUSE ONCE MORE. THE SILVER AND THE GOLD ARE MINE SAYS THE LORD. AND I WILL BRING ALL NATIONS TO THE DESIRE OF ALL NATIONS. HE WILL RULE THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON. NO ONE WILL ESCAPE MY VISION, NOR MY HAND OF JUSTICE.

YOU ARE COVERED BY MY BLOOD sons and daughters of God, so the judgments of thundering horses are not for those who put their trust in me. It is for the disobedient, those who hate Me, and My ways. Those who are pretenders to the throne. So be not afraid. YOU are IN CHRIST, thus immune from wrath of the Almighty. You are My precious jewels and I will make you to shine, shine, shine in all the earth ! The earth and all who are in it will be dismayed, but My own will not be dismayed for they know ME. They know that I love them. As you speak up for ME, and don’t deny me, you will find all fear will depart. Boldness will increase as you step out in faith to testify ! SUDDENLIES are at the DOOR. "
