After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches.
In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the move of water.
For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stopped in first, was made well of whatever disease he had.
Now a certain man was there who had infirmity thirty eight years.
When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew he already been in that condition a long time, He said to him, Do you want to be made well?
The sick man answered Him, Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool, when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.
Jesus said to him, Rise, take up your bed and walk, ( John 5:1-8).
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, hw much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?
And He was casting out demons, and it was mute. So it was, when the demon had gone out, that the mute spoke; and the multitudes marveled.
But some of them said, He casts out demons by Beelzebub, the ruler of demons. Others, testing Him, sought from Him a sign from heaven.
But He, knowing their thoughts, said to them: Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against a house falls.
If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? Because you say I cast out demons by Beelzebub.
And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out ? Therefore they will be your judges.
But if I cast out demons with the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.
When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace.
But when a stronger than he comes upon him, and overcomes him, he takes from him all his armor in which he trusted and divides his spoils.
He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.
When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest and finding none, he says, I will return to my house from which I came.
And when he comes, he finds it swept and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits worse than himself, and they enter and dwell there and the last state of the man is worse then first.
And it happened, as He spoke these things, that a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which nursed You!
But He said, More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!, (Luke 11:13-28).
I want to go back to the first scene of Jesus in the Sheep Gate…… And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the Sabbath.
The Jews therefore said to him who was cured, It is unlawful for you to carry your bed.
He answered them, He who made me well said to me, Take up your bed and walk.
Then they asked him, Who is the Man who said to you, Take up your bed and walk?
But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn , a multitude being in that place.
Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.
The man departed and told the Jews that it was Jesus who made him well, (John 5:8-15).
It is written over and over again through out the Gospels, that all that sought Him, Jesus of Nazareth, were healed…… Not one was disappointed who sought the Lord….. As He never changes…. The same is for us today.
All who seek our Great King are found and heard by Him…… But we must leave the sinful man that died at the cross with Him there…….
We live by His resurrection power. We live in His new life. The goodness of His life should be coming through us…. But know for certain this day, lies will be spoken about you in a huge way if you have His voice spoken out loud in the land.
The Lord’s Words were tried to be discredited because His Words brought conviction into their midst…..So it was easy to spread the slander when His truth brought life to the crowd….. The same Spirit who showed Him the ones who lie is in us today to keep us listening only to His truth this day.
As we are born from above….NOW as written in John 1:11-13: He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:
who were born, not of blood nor of the will of flesh, but of God.
I have read this verse so many times, and every time, I sigh, wondering what I may have missed under the Christmas tree…….. When you and I were kids, I know after all was unwrapped on that day….. We looked again under that tree, because may be there might be one more gift we missed. Wow! Sometimes there was! YAHOO!!
But as it is written: Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.
But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.
Now we have received , not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know things that have been freely given to us by God.
These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.
For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ, ( 1 Corinthians 2:9-16).
There has been given to us a great land that holds the keys for all the wisdom we need for these days. We have the key of faith to unlock all that is found in the mind of Christ, which we have been given for to use in a mighty way.
There was a song about 15 years ago which spoke the lyrics over and over again….. Prepare my heart…… Lord, prepare my heart….. Your love surrounds me as you prepare my heart…. One night, I was up all night listening and then speaking the song to My King….. and I saw the change that He did bring…..
There are those who want the healing, but never look back…. There are those who receive their healing and their amazement that this great King took notice of them. His love and mercy so overwhelms them as they then follow His feet as a puppy dog….. Knowing this is their only place that they can call home…They found their heart’s desire and longing in Him and that is where they stayed…. There is no place other to go for He has the Words of Truth and Life. This is where we have chosen to abide…… In Him for all eternity.
The waters may be unchartered for us, but He is there with us all the way…..He knows the way for He has been there before this Day. Let Him be at the helm of our steps today.
We have His story laid before us. We know the way from Him and our ancestors of faith…. We ride on victoriously following His lead and know the way has been made clear for all will see….. He is the King of glory.
There may be another box wrapped in His wonder under our tree of life for us to eat….. Meditate and wonder of His story being made alive in us this day.
Leave all and follow Him….. This is the victory we all shall have in Him…. Love is the key to unlock all His mysteries before our feet. Sit and learn by His Spirit for we are changed from glory to glory. What could be better than what our King and Father are offering……
The world we leave as we enter His domain and then the victory of life we do share and we are above the strife….. For His love has entered us and gives us the freedom in His reign…… We may not be much, but His delight is knowing we call things that are not so what is hidden will be revealed. Nothing hidden that was schemed in the dark will be made manifest by those who speak out His thoughts. Do not fear for He is here.
Be aware of the times that we are living in……. All will be made manifest by the King. A prepared heart is now the way He is speaking that follow His way…..
Matthew speaks to us about walking the Holy One’s way. Matthew 10:24-42 A disciple is not above his teacher, not a servant above His master.
It is enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household!
Therefore do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.
Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops.
And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.
Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.
But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father in heaven.
Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword.
For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
and a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.
He who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me.
And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.
And he who does not take his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.
He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.
He who receives you receives Me and he who receives Me received Him who sent Me.
He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward. And he who receives a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.
And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple, assuredly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward.
The above words from our King were spoken to the disciples that He had called…… There are many more Words from His lips to guide us this day, but these need to be known. What was is and will be again until the days of the earth end,….
As the above Words are not spoken much by the platforms, they do not bring a YAHOO but a swallow and okay…. All His Words need to be brought forth…..
There is great injustice if you hold Him back. His body needs the Truth so they may know what is coming through the days. Leaders of the church make sure you are not the cause of the fall away. Speak the Truth in season and out…..
Bring the Holy One to their face…… Oh yes, they will chant take this man away from me today…… He brings the Holy One’s gaze to my ways!! He says they are unclean and must be cast away. He tells me that I may wash at the cross in His blood and be found in Him as clean and white as snow if I listen and let all my sin and lies go…… Is that true? What must I do????? This Holy One is bigger than I thought….. Get me right before His face, for I must get out of His hard gaze…….He brings the light to all I have done against my self and humanity…..and Him being the Boss. I have broken His laws… Set me in His path so I may wash and be found okay in Him again.
This way you have called us to be on the inside of the Way of the Master… I will say, yes, Sir, prepare My heart to do my part. In You I am complete….You are my victory……You are the King of my heart…… You are my Guide and my Shield….. You are where I want to be…. Fill us up with what is heaven’s fuel,,,,,The fire that burns but never consumes…. May our eyes be so full of Your love that You may only see the devotion of our flames towards You, our King.
So let us do all through You who strengthens us….. I want to see Your victory….. All enemies of the King at Your feet……
When we are His light bearers, there is a cost….. Prepare our hearts for the time to depart from the comfort of our lives and pick up our cross and bear His reproach…..
Oh, but we do not count the cost, for we were lost and then found by His eye gathered to Him to live fully again…..
We are His is our only cry.
Leaders of the church, prepare your heart so others may start…… Do not depart from His way and leave all that are desires of your heart…. Let all go and let Him be at the helm for this is His Beginning and End….. And He is faithful to lead us through where you might want to withdraw because you did not allow Him to prepare your heart. Please take this warning to your heart….. As you lead, may your flock follow….. Depart from what is not bringing His desire. The fires of sacrifice will be found in His people if you lead allowing His fire to dwell and burn away your desires…… Lay down all to bring His people to His feet. This is where they shall have their victory found in Him as their center of life and crown Him the King…… Christ alone He shall be in our hearts for He is our vision from our start in Him and He will be the Finisher of us for all to see. HE, JESUS CHRIST, ALONE GETS THE FAME AND GLORY!!
We live by heaven’s court. Where we sit and see all that is going on below His feet. All our words spoken to Him have been heard….
The King has given us His scepter for this day…… We must use it His way….. The entities that are around must bow…… Prepare our hearts for the heat of battle to stand in Him through it all, is our cry…..Our sound reounds in heaven and back down again..
As we speak the things that are not- to be….. His hand is empowered for the victory…. He depends on us, as His body, to speak His words and know the victory of this amazing King will be seen by all humanity.
Take this time to depart from all things that lead us from His heart…..
Selah!
My Family,
I resent that I have been mandated to wear a mask where people cannot hear or see the smile of His love coming through me. The lies of this wave of virus is being escalated in a huge and mighty way…… The test results are being falsified to keep schools closed and to break Americans. This is the time to pray and be free of these lies that make us believe the virus is huge again in our midst….. This is not the truth.
The Holy One is greater and is in our midst……
This is the time to stand in Truth and proclaim our King has the only crown worthy bowing…….. The tests are fraudulent….. God has given us our own immune system….. Please do not give in to the lies to allow fear to reign…. There is so much more at stake….. Freedom bell is ringing again…..
A coworker of my husband had two sets of family members go to try to get tested this past Saturday……. One family in Miami and the other in Lee County. They registered…. Then stood in line…… Both families ended up leaving because the line was so long and outside in the extreme heat….
They never got tested.
This past Tuesday, each family received a document saying they had been tested positive…….
They never took the test…….
Lies are swarming to change the country we live in…
Silence in this country has never been tolerated! So let us shout and speak the truth to all…. DO NOT SETTLE AND BELIEVE THE LIE SWIRLING AROUND US…… Fear of death shall not reign,,,,,, We have been born again….. His resurrected power is reigning through His body and is speaking through WHO? YOU AND ME>>>>> We have His victory!!!!!!
