You are an awesome God, thought Littlestone.

Faithful in the little things, he will be faithful in the big things.

There is no choice c with our God. We have two choices, choose life or death. Obey or disobey and receive the consequences of our actions.  Be humble and submit or be prideful and exalt self and fall later…… There is no choice c……. No multiple choice with God.

There is His way or the highway of destruction of death way.

Jesus Christ is the only way to everlasting Life…..

Admission of His reign in life and admission of our sinful nature and repentance…. That alone will open the Door to Everlasting Life with our God. Then we learn how to walk after Him as His disiples.

You have seated us in heavenly places so we may always keep our eyes on You, our Prize.

The word overcomer only came in to the word of God, he thought, when Jesus overcame the world. Then again in the  Book of Revelation of Jesus Christ, the last book of the bible. The other two overcomers Littlestone thought of were Caleb and Joshua who were known by God by having a difference spirit then the others in the wilderness.  These two who saw the giants in the promised land, not as threats as the others, but as their bread because God was before them- making their way.

Jesus Christ saw also His enemies as dust because His Father was making a way for Him and for us. His obedience to His Father was preeminent over any threat of the enemies.

His love never fails.

There is great destruction and falling away from His Testimony when our eyes are on the lateral instead of the vertical.

Holy Spirit reveals unto each one of us of Himself in how important it is to overcome the world as He did…… as written 1 John 1-12:

Everyone who believes [with a deep, abiding trust in the fact] that Jesus is the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed) is born of God [that is, reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, and set apart for His purpose], and everyone who loves the Father also loves the child born of Him. 

 By this we know [without any doubt] that we love the children of God: [expressing that love] when we love God and obey His commandments. 

For the [true] love of God is this: that we habitually keep His commandments and remain focused on His precepts. And His commandments and His precepts are not difficult [to obey]. 

For ^[b]everyone born of God is victorious and overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has conquered and overcome the world—our [continuing, persistent] faith [in Jesus the Son of God].

Who is the one who is victorious and overcomes the world? It is the one who believes and recognizes the fact that Jesus is the Son of God. 

 This is He who came through water and blood [His baptism and death], Jesus Christ—not by the water only, but by the water and the blood. It is the [Holy] Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. [He is the essence and origin of truth itself.] 

 For there are three witnesses: 

the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three are in agreement [their testimony is perfectly consistent]. 

If we accept [as we do] the testimony of men [that is, if we are willing to take the sworn statements of fallible humans as evidence], the testimony of God is greater [far more authoritative]; for this is the testimony of God, that He has testified regarding His Son.

The one who believes in the Son of God [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies confidently on Him as Savior] has the testimony within himself [because he can speak authoritatively about Christ from his own personal experience].

The one who does not believe God [in this way] has made Him [out to be] a liar, because he has not believed in the evidence that God has given regarding His Son. 

 And the testimony is this: God has given us eternal life [we already possess it], and this life is in His Son [resulting in our spiritual completeness, and eternal companionship with Him]. 

 He who has the Son [by accepting Him as Lord and Savior] has the life [that is eternal]; he who does not have the Son of God [by personal faith] does not have the life.

Littlestone was meditating. As usual, his meditating turns into asking tons of questions as is his way with His King….. He does not want to leave anything unknown about the heart intentions of His King. His King always points to a horizon that is endless as He.

If the way of life is to be kept. Then the only way is to cherish the King of Life.

In making a note that the last stone that was used in the wall that surrounded Jerusalem was amethyst, which is symbolic of sobriety as written in Revelation 21…..

Stay awake from all that is trying to dull or put us asleep.

Prevent intoxication.

Be sober. Awaken from slumber.  Prevent intoxication from the worlds’ temptation.

Remain steadfast to our King. Keep our eyes on things above, mainly our King.

1Peter 1:13:  Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming.

1 Peter 5:8:  Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

1 Peter 4:7: The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray.

1 Thessalonians 5:6:  So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober.

Ephesians 6:18:  And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

Colossians 3: 1-11: Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 

 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 

For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 

When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. 

Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.

You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. 

But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.

Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.

 Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.

In Littlestone’s investigation on why the mention of overcomer in every letter in His King’s Book—- The book known revealing of Him to all: He found so many scriptures to remind us of the narrow road…..

Keep our eyes raised toward Christ….. Not as Peter who as he walked on the water, saw the storm and winds blowing, and sunk…We walk every day on the water by His Word and His grace of strength…. We overcome daily by our faith.

Overcomers, stand and keep our eyes fixed knowing we have been hidden in God by Christ Jesus.

He did notice the last church that Holy Spirit brought up were quite filled with themselves and their status and riches…..

Littlestone turned to scripture, Revelation 3:14-22:

“To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:

These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. 

I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 

So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 

You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ 

But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. 

I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.

Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. 

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

 To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne. 

Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”

Holy Spirit was leading him on a journey.  He heard big is just big but great is from above.

The last stone was amethyst in the wall written in Revelation 21, *( which is shown below).

He has given us His Spirit to live a godly life as written in Peter.

He has overcome the world and so do we by our faith in His victory.

By our faith we keep our eyes on things above because we are seated in heavenly places.

We are in class learning all we can about His life within us and apprehending Him as He has apprehended us.

The wheat and the tares are coming to head for harvest. The winds are blowing

Littlestone was concerned and praying for His body to really take heed of the warning he was seeing in the scriptures…

There is so much to be hopeful when He appears….. We do not know when, but it may be sooner then later as we all think,,,,

But, even so, we must be His bride prepared for His return.

We must not be as the five virgins who were not ready and did not have their lamps filled as written Matthew 25.

Holy Spirit is our lamp in us for His eyes to see, test and qualify…….

What house are we from?

If we are the last stone, this generation on the earth, of the wall of Jerusalem, we must be a true gem of amethyst.

Sober and diligent in His kingdom and be pliable so to be added into the mosaic of His wall, His kingdom.

Philippians 3:7-11:

 But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 

What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things.

I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—

the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. 

 I want to know Christ—

yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.

Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 

 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it.

But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 

 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Revelation 21:9-21:

One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” 

 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. 

It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. 

 It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates.

On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. 

There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west. 

 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city, its gates and its walls. 

The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia in length, and as wide and high as it is long. 

The angel measured the wall using human measurement, and it was 144 cubits thick.

 The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass. 

 The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone.

 The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald,  the fifth onyx, the sixth ruby, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth turquoise, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.

 The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of gold, as pure as transparent glass.

The wall surrounding the temple made from Solomon’s charge was made from the gentiles – stones that were not handled by man, precious stones, ( us)!…….- Just a note fyi as Littlestone jotted down.

Revelation 22:1-5:

Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city.

On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month.

 And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. 

No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. 

They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 

There will be no more night. 

They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. 

And they will reign for ever and ever.

Revelation 22:12-15:

“Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. 

I  am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

“Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. 

 Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

In our heavenly Fathers eyes, the small before Him are great.  The large and proud are as rubble before Him thought Littlestone.

As it is written, Be still and know I am God, I will be exalted before the nations, ( Psalm 49).

Remember Joshua 14:6-15:

Now the people of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal, and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know what the Lord said to Moses the man of God at Kadesh Barnea about you and me. 

 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh Barnea to explore the land. 

And I brought him back a report according to my convictions, 

 but my fellow Israelites who went up with me made the hearts of the people melt in fear.

 I, however, followed the Lord my God wholeheartedly. 

So on that day Moses swore to me, ‘The land on which your feet have walked will be your inheritance and that of your children forever, because you have followed the Lord my God wholeheartedly.’

 “Now then, just as the Lord promised, he has kept me alive for forty-five years since the time he said this to Moses, while Israel moved about in the wilderness.

So here I am today, eighty-five years old! 

 I am still as strong today as the day Moses sent me out; I’m just as vigorous to go out to battle now as I was then. 

 Now give me this hill country that the Lord promised me that day. 

You yourself heard then that the Anakites were there and their cities were large and fortified, but, the Lord helping me, I will drive them out just as he said.”

Then Joshua blessed Caleb son of Jephunneh and gave him Hebron as his inheritance. 

So Hebron has belonged to Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite ever since, because he followed the Lord, the God of Israel, wholeheartedly. 

(Hebron used to be called Kiriath Arba after Arba, who was the greatest man among the Anakites.) 

(GIANTS)!  Littlestone remembered that Hebron means fellowship…..When we have a heart totally after our God and Lord, we have His friendship as well as fellowship.

He silently thought to himself, I choose Life and His life. No matter what comes, the power of His Word, Christ in me, is within. His strength in grace are sufficient. …..

Father God, may all those who have a heart after you walk on the narrow road which we have life, Life abundantly in Your Son by the power of Your Spirit and the word of Your power, Christ in us, who works mightily in us according to the power in which You raised Christ from the dead.

Amen and so be it now and forever for all those who are overcomers as we walk in the way of Your Son and His cross as written in Philippians 3:  I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,  and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.

SELAH!!

May all those who have ears to hear and a heart to understand, know the times we are in today.

But rejoice, our God is the same today and tomorrow.  His love never fails.

SELAH! SELAH!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Littlestone was riding, though the weather was less than favorable. The ground was quite soft, so he and Aaliyah just walked through the fields in the frigid cold air and sunshine. He did not care; he had to trek up to The Meeting Place. He heard to come up here today.  He obeyed….

Walking through the fields brought to Littlestone’s mind the word written…..Jesus and the disciples walked through the fields, plucking the heads of grain.  He wondered why it was noted that it was the second Sabbath…. This, if he recalled correctly, was written in the Gospel of Luke, chapter 6:

Now it happened on the second Sabbath after the first that He went through the grainfields. And His disciples plucked the heads of grain and ate them, rubbing them in their hands.

He often asked why it was noted the second Sabbath. The obvious answer was that Jesus came now to be the Sabbath….. He now is our rest and our all…..Our only way to the Father God.  When we have Him we have rest and peace with God and in our hearts.

But he thought still, His word is as an onion with many layers of hidden meanings and mysteries to unfold to those who seek. Why the mention of the second Sabbath?…..

The wind blew and he was reminded how the wind blows away the shaft and allows the true good wheat to be harvested for food.

He stopped Aalyiah and opened up his sack and his bible was right there.

He reached for it at the same time a wind stirred up.   This strong wind was blowing as his Bible opened as if a speed reader was reading as the pages blew. The wind stopped and the pages revealed chapter 6 of Luke.

Wow, thank You, Lord.  He was shocked at the correct accuracy of the opened book before him by that strong wind. He tried to act like this was normal, but his hands were shaking. He was not sure if it was the cold or what he had just witnessed by the hand of God.

He read chapter 6 of Luke and little beyond.

He saw his King was establishing His own crew now to minster to the fields.  The current ones who were representing His kingdom were only pointing fault to anyone who posed a threat to their position. They were pursuing Jesus with a vengeance to rid Him from the earth.

The Light came into the world and darkness hated the light.  Certain people really hurt hard the ones who bring the gospel and His light to their region.  The comfort zone does not like to be toppled.

He remembered how he had spoken to some people to be a discerning factor on clean versus unclean spirits and righteous and unrighteous. Speak pointing to Him alone.

He had never been so attacked by those he thought were of the same kingdom.  He had never seen such viciousness as after his talk.   We are only clean by His Spirit and blood. We are only righteous by His blood and His Spirit dwelling within. As written in 1 John 5 18-21:

 We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the One who was born of God keeps them safe, and the evil one cannot harm them.  

We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.  

We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. 

And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.

And 1 John 3:1-10: See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! 

And that is what we are!

The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 

 Dear friends, now we are children of God, 

and what we will be has not yet been made known.

But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 

All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.

Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. 

But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. 

And in him is no sin. 

No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. 

No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him.

Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray.

 The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. 

The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, 

because the devil has been sinning from the beginning.

The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. 

No one who is born of God will continue to sin,

 because God’s seed remains in them;

 they cannot go on sinning,

because they have been born of God. 

This is how we know who the children of God are

and who the children of the devil are:

Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child,

nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister.

 The lies and false reports against Littlestone were cruel and malicious…

Yet, He was comforted by His gentle King. He was reminded that all pursue to live a godly life will be persecuted as written in the book of Timothy.

The walk he followed in His King was very precious to Littlestone. His hearts intent was to be faithful to reveal what he was shown. He would continue to do so until He told Littlestone to stop.

He looked up to the King of all, I understand some of what You walked through on this earth.

He added, You probably still do get this treatment.  I am sorry.

Thank You, I think, to be a friend of Your sufferings.  I know who I am in Your eyes and how I am living before the Audience of One. I now have the marks and scars of following You as another of Yours spoke as written.

Father God, may Your will be done on this earth as it is in heaven. May the eyes of those who call on Your name have eyes to see and ears to hear.

He was being shown lately the words spoken by His messengers were very light and encouraging but not speaking from His sight and Word.

If they were from Me, the ears that hear would quit sinning and be healed as written in Jeremiah 23:18-24:

But which of them has stood in the council of the Lord
to see or to hear his word?
Who has listened and heard his word?
See, the storm of the Lord
will burst out in wrath,
a whirlwind swirling down
on the heads of the wicked.
The anger of the Lord will not turn back
until he fully accomplishes
the purposes of his heart.
In days to come
you will understand it clearly.
 I did not send these prophets,
yet they have run with their message;
I did not speak to them,
yet they have prophesied.
But if they had stood in my council,
they would have proclaimed my words to my people
and would have turned them from their evil ways
and from their evil deeds.

“Am I only a God nearby,”
declares the Lord,
“and not a God far away?
 Who can hide in secret places
so that I cannot see them?”
declares the Lord.
“Do not I fill heaven and earth?”
declares the Lord.

 

Yes Sir, said Littlestone.

 

Littlestone heard, who builds on a faulty foundation but  those who know My Words but do not live in them and by them.  If anyone abides in Me, they shall live eternally by My life.  The power of My Word keeps them.  My foundation shall be found in them…. I AM is I AM is  found there. My heart has found My rest in mankind, My little ones who lean on Me.

How can a man build on a faulty foundation and be found standing in My Day?

Woe to those who all speak to tingle the ears as they did in the day of the false prophets.

Did not My son speak of those who reign as kings now as he himself was stoned, shipwrecked, rejected and cast out as an evil doer, when he had done no wrong but bring My face to the people?

My people do not learn from My story but repeat their folly again and again.

Did I AM speak: I AM has no place to lay My head as I walked this earth…. How much more so My little ones who carry Me with them where ever I AM sends.

Littlestone thought, I rather be clothed in Your Spirit than the clothes of finery from this world.  He thought I have the True Riches right now. Thank You for hiding me in Your sight.

Oh King of All, I rather have this with You than clothed with any but Your Spirit from on high. Oh You have given me the true riches…. You  have been made unto me,  Your Wisdom and Righteousness and Sanctification…… I shall bow to Your name and lose all to gain You, My King.

And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands.

And certain of the Pharisees said unto them,

Why do you do that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?

 And Jesus answering them said, Have you not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was an hungered, and they which were with him;

How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?

 And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered.

 And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.

 But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.

Said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?

And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth your hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other.

And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.

And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;

Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

 Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes,

 And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor.

And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;

And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed.

And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.

 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said,

Blessed be you the poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.

Blessed are you that hunger now: for you shall be filled.

Blessed are you that weep now: for ye shall laugh.

Blessed are you, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake.

 Rejoice you in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

But woe unto you that are rich! for you have received your consolation.

 Woe unto you that are full! for you shall hunger.

Woe unto you that laugh now!

for you shall mourn and weep.

 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you!

for so did their fathers to the false prophets.

But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,

 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.

And unto him that smite you on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that take away your cloak forbid not to take your coat also.

 Give to every man that ask of you; and of him that takes away your goods, do not ask for them back.

 And as you would that men should do to you, do you also to them likewise.

 For if you love them which love you, what thank have you?

for sinners also love those that love them.

 And if you do good to them which do good to you, what thank have you?

 for sinners also do even the same.

And if you lend to them of whom you hope to receive, what thank have you?

for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.

 But love  your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again;

 and your reward shall be great, and you shall be the children of the Highest:

for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

Be you therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

 Judge not, and you shall not be judged:

 condemn not, and you shall not be condemned:

forgive, and you shall be forgiven:

 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom.

For with the same measure that you meet with it,  it shall be measured to you again.

 And he spoke a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind?

shall they not both fall into the ditch?

The disciple is not above his master:

but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.

 And why behold the mote that is in your brother’s eye, but perceive not the beam that is in your own eye?

 Either how can you say to your brother,

 Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in your eye, when you yourself behold not the beam that is in thine own eye?

You hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then you shall see clearly to pull out the mote that is in your brother’s eye.

 For a good tree brings not forth corrupt fruit; neither does a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.

A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bring forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speak.

 And why you call me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

Whosoever come to me, and hear my sayings, and does them, I will show you to whom he is like:

 He is like a man which built a house, and dug deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.

 But he that hears, and does not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.

Littlestone spoke up quickly from his heart, I rather be talked as a transgressor and hear Your voice, then be with the many crowds and never hear from You.

I chose You and have died to the world.

Did I AM not say, unless you forsake all, you cannot be My disiciple?

Yes Sir, answered Littlestone.

He thought, Aliayah, thank you for being so still and napping, while He speaks. The sun was warming the field in which he had stopped to hear. It was a beautiful day, because he heard His King.

Child, she is still because I AM.

Thank You, Sir.

Many will enter into destruction by the large gate, few will find the narrow gate.

Mankind follows what their heart is after…

The gold of this world, the fame of this world or man and be known by man.

May all see their folly and set their heart to be known by I AM…..

Man ‘s fame, name and money are here today and gone tomorrow.

“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”

The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all this and were sneering at Jesus. 

He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of others, but God knows your hearts. What people value highly is detestable in God’s sight, (Luke 16:13-15).

Be known by I AM and seeking My will for their days of breath is eternal satisfaction and joy.

The disciples were rubbing the grain with their hands…..

My followers sift the truth from the false, as the wheat remains and shafts blow away through the whirlwinds.

My followers prove the truth which reveals all the ways of darkness.

They know of things they have not sought, because I AM theirs and speak to them always.

 

Pray for all who call on My name, to turn from their evil ways, forsake the world today and turn to I AM.

Forsake all to gain Me. May I AM know the house they are from….. I AM shall see My own as I AM.

The cross of their King should be their center and their future and their past. The cross they carry is bringing them into the high calling……

What does man think? The high calling is full of glory without the cross be embedded into their soul?

See My Way as He told Littlestone to open the Word to…….

Next Time, God Is Willing…. SELAH!!!!

 

^{I AM answered:}

^{Yes, many are seeking knowledge but not of I AM.}

^{Many  who have lived since children have no knowledge of a God who is their Creator and Lover of their soul.}

^{If what they believe in is unshakable in their worlds,  but then is shaken, will they then will seek My face?}

^{Remember, I do not wish for the wicked to perish but all to come to eternal life through I AM.}

^{Rest IN I AM alone now is My desire for all mankind…..I AM will carry all into My Son, who is Beginning and End, if they repent.}

^{May they hear My calland leave their sin.}

^{Then by grace, turn and see the Voice who speaks.}

^{My purpose is Christ will be all and all.}

^{All else will be in fire of My presence.  Fire burns in the ones in I AM, but will not burn them.}

^{My Love burns in all  for and against Me….. I AM is  Consuming fire.}

^{All shall know I AM is the Lord and God alone.}

^{What would all desire?}

^{Does your world have no traffic stops and no lights? …}

^No….? 

^{Oh! Yes you do! If they were not the destruction would be great.} 

^{I AM sends many traffic stops and red lights on the road of destruction.} 

^{Stop! Turn and see the One who is calling you to come to Me…..}

^{See My bloody cross…..The thorns in My brow as you think you can rule away from I AM now.}

^{See the eyes that behold you from afar and long for you to draw near.}

^{There is the blood for the remission of all sins…..}

^{My blood is washing mankind white as snow.}

^{May they all know in the generations that get their breath from I AM today.}

^{My cross is shouting loudly through the streets….}

^{Someone will turn and hear, and see?}

^{There is a one here and a one there which hear and turn to see the Voice that says I AM here and I AM will help.}

^{You shall know them no longer but as a new creation in I AM.}

^{Many will go to destruction of eternal death.}

^{Is that the choice for all?} 

^{This is not I AM’s choice……}

^{Were they not shaken from their slumber to see the Truth?}  

^{Did they not see I AM?} 

^{Did they not know I AM was there holding them, not just now, but every day of their lives?}

^{See and know the earth and heavens will be shaken to look up to know where their help comes from….}

^{They may not see but they may know I AM is here to carry them into the truth which is found only in I AM.}

^{They may look up and repent and come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.…}

^{The cry goes out across the lands and over the mountains and through the deserts and valleys:}

^{Come to Me all who weary laden and I AM will give you rest.}

^{I AM is here and I AM is their God forever if they chose Me or not…}

^{It is their choice to spend eternity in My light and love or in eternal fire..}

^{There is a reward for each soul on this earth.
Pray they may hear My call and leave their worried brow.}

^{Pray they may know My plan for them is better than what was and may not be any longer.}

^{Eternal life is theirs if they turn and believe today.} 

^{Each of their days will be laced with grace and mercy and truth, if they look to Me and repent.}

^{Did I AM not tell you of troubled times ahead?}

^{Littlestone turned quickly to Luke 21:25-36:}

^{There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea.}  

^{People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken.} 

 ^{At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.}

^{When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”}

^{He told them this parable: Look at the fig tree and all the trees.} 

 ^{When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near.} 

 ^{Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near.}

^{“Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.} 

 ^{Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.}

 ^{“Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you suddenly like a trap.} 

 ^{For it will come on all those who live on the face of the whole earth.} 

^{Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.”}

^{Littestone thought how great is His King!……}

^{Be always on the watch, and pray we may be able to escape all that is about to happen,……. and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man……}

^{Watch and pray so we may escape?….. Hmmmm….}  

^{Escape the destruction as a trap that is coming to carousers and fearful….}

^{However, the faithful will stand before the Son of Man in eternal hope of His promise.}

^{His ways are unsearchable, but we get to search Him out every day and every year and for all of eternity…..}

^{The fences are gone.} 

^{In Christ Jesus, we are in His boundless grace and truth.}  

^{Though at times, thought Littlestone, His word is a hammer and definitely a sword……}

^{His Grace is a shield over His Truth, found in the God Man, Jesus Christ.}

^{See how He searches out our heart with His hammer and sword piercing our hearts. His work is separating the bone from the marrow, as His lamp searches every heart.…..}

^{Cleansing us for His return.  His bride is dazzling in His eyes.}

^{He reveals His ways to His beloved.}

 ^{We must do as He says- pray and watch—-as we stand now and we will stand before the Holy One in time and out of time.}

^{We stand in awe and  inlove and not in fear as those who it is written will hide in the caves when His Day appears.}

 ^{Our hearts sing out, here He comes.}

^{Then BOOM!!!!} 

^{We are changed in a twinkling of His eye and are there ……}

^{A space that we have never thought was possible, but never felt as home as we are found completely before  and in Him.}

^{He thought also how contrast the ways of the world versus the ways of His kids.} 

^{We put our hope in Him alone.} 

^{We are aware of all that is written in the Scriptures of the end of days, even if it is the end of days;}

^{yet we stand full of hope of His faithfulness as much as in His mercy.}

^{The character of moral excellence of our King and Father God have met us day in and day out in His unwavering mercy and faithfulness.}

^{Praise Him forever is our song and out of the abundance of our heart, we cry out: We love You !}

 ^{We are also quite aware of how darkness is increasing but so is His light in and upon us also is magnifying.}

^{Our souls magnify our Lord…. We all magnify something.}

^{So we keep our eyes on Him alone…..}

^{We seize the day in prayer and opportunities to show why we are not panicked or worried as His Day draws near.} 

^{We are excited for His Day.} 

^{We sing out: Come Lord Jesus, even so,…. come!…}

^{We love You and cannot wait to be united with You in the air…..}

^{Come Lord Jesus- come!.}

^{Our King’s return will be an awesome day for His kids.}

^{His Day will be a terrible day for those who never came to bow their knee before the King of all kings and the Lord of all lords.}

^{But, amen and so be it…..}

He put his pen down and looked out the window. He had forgotten where he was while he heard from His King.

^{The rain was turning to white as written His righteousness covers the earth.}

^{The day is His and so is the night.} 

^{But be of good cheer, He has overcome the world.}

^{We are becoming in His sight- His overcomers….}

^{We heed His warnings in the letters written in the book of Revelation of Jesus Christ.}

^{We are the ones who have ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to the church, His body, so we may speak to those who do not.}

^{The people may be hostile or mockers, but His Truth still marches on.}

^{Heed and prepare our words to be His….to a lost world.}

^{We are His vessels and arrows for the coming days.}

^{Grace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits before his throne, and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.}

^{To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.}

^{“Look, he is coming with the clouds,”
and “every eye will see him,
even those who pierced him”;
and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.”
So shall it be! Amen.}

^{“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”}

^{We are the ones who look up and point to the One who is coming with the clouds.}   

^{Hey, he thought, we, His kids, are symbolic of the clouds. We are His witnesses that His Testimony rides upon on this earth.}

^{We, the temple of the Living God, by His Spirit.}

^{We show all- This is not forever, but in Him, we are alive forevermore, but without Him, we are alive forevermore in the lake of fire….}

^{Come and meet my King and Lord. He loves all of us with an everlasting heart.}

^{They may mock, they may not. There might be one, when you pray, goes on in hope….}

^{Bow your knee and believe in Him of whom we speak.}

^{The Lamb who is a Lion.}

^{Come and meet the Lamb before He returns as a Lion.}

^{Watch as the whole world will tremble at His roar.}

^{Our words should start with Him for He is their Beginning.}

^{Our words should End as He is their End, pointing to His End….which never ends in Him!}

^{His love will never fail, turn them to trust Him today!}

All should see Him alone by the words we speak.

They should not see us or themselves.  The Word goes out and falls on all ears, He alone knows who will turn.

Their eyes and heart should be full of His Presence of salvation.

He is their help in a time of need.   

^{We show His discernment of holy versus unholy.} 

^{We display the clean versus unclean.}

^{No matter what the mockers say in unbelief.}

^{We are all a new creation in Him, as the snow is white, so are His redeemed……}

^{Righteousness versus unrighteousness…..} 

^{Our King says our righteousness is to be above the righteousness of the Pharisees.}

^{How can that be?}

^{Only by His blood and His Spirit within are we are found righteous now and at the end of our days……}

All should see Him alone by the words we speak.

They should not see us or themselves.  

The ears that are turning  and hearts are full of His Presence of salvation.

He is their help in a time of need.   

^{Holy we are and to live as He is holy.}

^{We are holy because Christ is in us… Not of ourselves, but because He is within each believer……}

^{How can a believer who has Christ within be unclean?  Do not call unclean  what God has cleaned.}

^{He does not give us a command unless He also gave us the power to live out His commands:….by His Spirit that dwells within each of His kids.}

^{We are the temple of the Holy Spirit….. Remember, not by might, nor by power but by My Spirit says the Lord….Our hope of glory is Christ within and the faith of knowing Him……}

^{As written in Galatians 2:20-21:}

^{I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.}

 ^{I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!”}

^{We live and desire to be pleasing by faith that we are holy and clean as He has made us by His suffering on His cross and resurrection life that of which He has crowned us.}

^{We honor and are loyal to the blood shed by His cross of the One who fills all with Himself as written.}

^{Take heed this year and lean unto the Truth of God found in Jesus Christ and do not lean on the world.}

^{The world will pierce your side and build up pride….}

^{Be humble before our King of all, and allow Him to lift you up…}

^{He exalts the humble and bring down the proud as written in James….}

^{Amen and amen, Lord, thank You for hearing our prayer and guide us this year in faith into Your everlasting love and Truth.}

^{We love You and thank You and are so full of gratitude for our great God.}

^{Alleluia! Alleluia!!}

^{Listen, children,}

^{From glory to glory and faith to faith and strength to strength, You gain Me! You seek and prove of My presence in you. Every step of obedience is found perfect or complete in I AM.}

^{Whatever the conflict within and without will represent the cause of My increase of the moral and spiritual excellence of I AM, Lord Jesus, found within you. Rejoice for joy, you are found by Me.}

^{You are My treasure and alas, I AM delighted to search and see how I AM your Treasure.}

^{As written in Psalm 84:}

^{How lovely is your dwelling place,
Lord Almighty!}

^{My soul yearns, even faints,
for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh cry out
for the living God.
Even the sparrow has found a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may have her young—
a place near your altar,
Lord Almighty, my King and my God.}

 ^{Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
they are ever praising you.}

^{Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
As they pass through the Valley of Baka,
they make it a place of springs;
the autumn rains also cover it with pools.
They go from strength to strength,
till each appears before God in Zion.}

 ^{Hear my prayer, Lord God Almighty;
listen to me, God of Jacob.
Look on our shield, O God;
look with favor on your anointed one.}

 ^{Better is one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
the Lord bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold
from those whose walk is blameless.}

^{Lord Almighty,
blessed is the one who trusts in you.}

^{Littlestone was unaware he was talking out loud to all in the diner as he was speaking to His King.}

^{They all chimed in:  We love You, Lord. Fill us with Your Word. We are hungry! Fill us full of You! We are empty without You!}

^{Littlestone was completely red in face as he had forgotten where he was in His presence.   He smiled at himself and joined the chorus of praise!}

^{Let it snow! Allow Your righteousness to cover the earth as Your mercy has covered our lives. You always do more than we can ask or think!}

^{So be it, Lord King of all!}

 ^Selah!

^{More To Come, He Is Willing!}  

 

Man is not!….Please pray for freedom of this nation…. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. May the Words of Jesus Christ flow freely from every plain, valley and mountain throughout this world. In Jesus name! Amen! Pray for the ears to hear and receive what His Spirit’s says today.

 

 

The weather was still unfavorable to ride and go to the Meeting Hill.  He sat in his favorite booth at Pete’s diner.

It was now raining out now. The word was the cold front would move in and change the rain to a wintry mix.

He sighed a big sigh. He really missed riding his mare. He knew God was with him in this diner even though the fresh invigorating air was replaced by grease burning and smoking on the grill with bacon essence flowing through the place.

He sipped his coffee looking out the window.

He was waiting on Uri to meet him. She had gone to the barn to drop off some feed supply for the horses before another batch of snow came billowing down.

Then he heard as he got his pen and opened up his notebook:

Man thinks he can control all things…..Change is the way of I AM.

I AM is always increasing. Change by man will eventually decrease but with I AM, he will increase.

Mankind wants what was. Even though the complaints were heard by I AM of what was- back then.

I AM promised to shake everything that can be shaken.  All that remains is eternal. My Christ will be all and in all.

Hebrews 12:25-29 came to Littlestone’s mind:

 See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks.

 If they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven? 

At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.”

 The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain.

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire.”

Christ is all and will be in all.   I AM has the preeminence  always. Unregenerated mankind think they do. Mankind tries very hard to move I AM out of the way of their roads of advancement. Alas, destruction still takes root for not one man will live forever….. Unless he is found Me.

I AM is gracious to all in time so man may turn all over to My hand. Things may come and may go, but those who call on My name in faith will live forever.

Man assumes if change does not happen, he is in control of all around him. Not so.

His view is lateral instead of vertical and eternal. However, in I AM, the horizons are never ending and all things are possible.

Man was created to be eternally with God.  He was made in Our image.

The first man changed the rules and desired the knowledge he had was on his own.

Or at least, he thinks he can change what God has created.

What is done by the unregenerated man has caused things to be changing towards destruction according to the curse…..

Man was then changed to the image of Adam and not I AM……

As written in Gensis 5:1-3 Littlestone was searching the scriptures:

This is the written account of Adam’s family line.

When God created mankind, he made them in the likeness of God. 

He created them male and female and blessed them. And he named them “Mankind”^[a] when they were created.

 When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth.

Every heart in earnest birth form is full of disobedience. The crown of God was removed the day Adam and Eve sinned against I AM.

Not one  of mankind can hold onto this life. He will lose it.

If he allows it to be given to My hands, He will keep life and even have life eternally.

This is all because of My death on the cross for all mankind…. I AM took the punishment of sin and iniquity through all generations….

Intercede for all mankind to turn and see what Life I AM offering. I AM does not desire any to perish, but they will by their own choice.

See as I AM’s eyes, many upon many will not come to eat the tree of life.

Many will turn away so they cannot partake in the second resurrection.

Many will turn away from the hidden manna that I AM has stored for them who turn to Me.

Many will not receive their white stone which if they receive will read and know their new name written by My hand.

Many will not receive My power to rule over the nations with I AM.

Their hands are clinched so tight on the worldly goods, and a name of fame and fortune, they will not open to receive the Morningstar.

Many will remain in their clothes spoiled by this world. They refuse to put on the white garments of praising I AM as well as clothed in My Spirit by My blood. On My Day, they will be seen by I AM as naked.

They refuse to be crowned with the crown of receiving My love and forgiveness. They forfeit My seal of inheritance upon them, My Spirit to dwell now in them.

Many will not confess Me as their Savior before others so they will never hear I AM’s voice declaring their name before My Father and all the angels in heaven…..

They do not care if their name is written in My Book of life.

Many do not care if they forfeit becoming a pillar, a strong one, in My Father’s house.

They do not care where they abide for all of eternity.

They forfeit the name of our Father and His city written on their forehead…..

They will never hear My new name for each of them that I AM has chosen.

Child of God, there are many who will never know what treasure  is for I AM to come and sup with them.

They will never know how the scales of deceit in their eyes have clouded their vision.

The evil one has sent them on a deceptive trail which will led them to eternal fire.

Yet, I AM is calling them still, turn to Me all who are on a foolish path….

Turn and come to I AM. Leave foolishness behind and come into Wisdom and Righteousness and Sanctification found in Christ Jesus.

As I AM is speaking, you are praying for the scales of their eyes to be removed.

I AM hears your intercession of which they may change their garments into praise of I AM because they have turned to believe in the One who God has sent to them.

And I AM says to you,

Matthew 13:10-15:

The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?”

 He replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. 

Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance.

Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. 

This is why I speak to them in parables:

“Though seeing, they do not see;
though hearing, they do not hear or understand.

In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:

“‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
 For this people’s heart has become calloused;
they hardly hear with their ears,
and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.

Then He spoke:

^{MATTHEW 16:24-28:}

 ^{Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.} 

 ^{For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.} 

 ^{What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?} 

 ^{For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.}

^{“Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”}

^{Again, I AM repeats what is  written in Ezekiel 24:14:}

 ^{“‘I the Lord have spoken. The time has come for me to act. I will not hold back; I will not have pity, nor will I relent. You will be judged according to your conduct and your actions, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”}

^{Come and hear what I AM has spoken to all:}

^{But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken.  For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”  spoken in the New Testament, Matthew 12:36-37, from His King’s mouth  which is full of grace and truth, thought Littlestone.}

^{I AM has promised to shake the heavens and the earth….}

^{Littlestone was shaking his cold hands to get the blood flowing from writing. He did not want to miss one word of His King today.}

^{Every good parent gives meat and vegetables to their children to grow healthy.  Littlestone heard Him continue and he grabbed his pen and also continued.}

^{Ice cream and candy are not a diet for a healthy life…..Nor drunkeness be given the name of the  same wisdom as knowing the Holy One and His Son.}

^{True understanding of My grace with truth, I AM alone makes a strong and healthy son and daughter of the King of all.}

^{If they stand on the foundations of what they believe will never change, they will not turn to I AM and look up for help.}  

^{Many ask why should there be tragedy?} 

^{The world is fading away because the spilt bloodshed of the innocent and the fall of mankind.}

^{The curse over the world is flying through the ages.}

^{My son, Zechariah, saw the flying scroll of the curse written in chapter 5:}

 ^{I looked again, and there before me was a flying scroll.}

 ^{He asked me, “What do you see?”}

^{I answered, “I see a flying scroll, twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide.}

 ^{And he said to me, “This is the curse that is going out over the whole land; for according to what it says on one side, every thief will be banished, and according to what it says on the other, everyone who swears falsely will be banished.} 

^{The Lord Almighty declares, ‘I will send it out, and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of anyone who swears falsely by my name. It will remain in that house and destroy it completely, both its timbers and its stones.’”}

^{Then the angel who was speaking to me came forward and said to me, “Look up and see what is appearing.”}

^{I asked, “What is it?”}

^{He replied, “It is a basket.” And he added, “This is the iniquity of the people throughout the land.”}

^{Then the cover of lead was raised, and there in the basket sat a woman! 8 He said, “This is wickedness,” and he pushed her back into the basket and pushed its lead cover down on it.}

^{Then I looked up—and there before me were two women, with the wind in their wings! They had wings like those of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between heaven and earth.}

 ^{“Where are they taking the basket?” I asked the angel who was speaking to me.}

 ^{He replied, “To the country of Babylonia to build a house for it. When the house is ready, the basket will be set there in its place.”}

  ^{I AM has come to give life. Eternal life is where the abundance in I AM is found.  Eternal life is knowing God.}

^{Mankind made their choice and still is…… I AM has turned all the evil that mankind has done to good for those who love Me…..}

^{But, then…….it is written, My people perish for lack of knowledge in Proverbs.}

^{As My son has written in My Word: 1 Corinthians 1:18-31:}

^{For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing,} 

^{but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.  For it is written:}

^{“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”}

 ^{Where is the wise person?} 

^{Where is the teacher of the law?}

^{Where is the philosopher of this age?} 

^{Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?}

 ^{For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.} 

 ^{Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,} 

^{but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.} 

 ^{For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.}

 ^{Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called.} 

^{Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth.} 

 ^{But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.} 

^{God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him.} 

^{It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.} 

 ^{Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”}

 ^{All things will be shaken that are not of I AM.}

^{The presence of I AM  shakes all that is certain to fade away.}

^{Then I AM calls, come to Me and  know that I AM is here, the UNSHAKABLE ONE.}

^{Littlestone thought these are hard sayings.}

^{Reminded him of what He said in Jeremiah, His word is as a hammer…..}

^{He is hammering, he thought.}

^{As Littlestone agreed, hard times produce us to seek God.} 

^{He remembered his own life and Uri’s too.} 

^{If it was not in our fall, we would never have called on Jesus Christ.}

He knows without God, his life would be a total sham.

He thought of Psalm 149:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Littlestone smiling at the bright faces in the diner. The scripture came up to him: 2 Corinthians 2:14: Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.

He spoke, just in case there are some here which are far from the place we believers find ourselves in Christ in eternity. All the possibilities are boundless in Christ; just as the grace of our Lord is boundless and endless.

However, His grace will stop on His Day.

Do not be deceived, all those who hold unto their sin and iniquity and block His grace from working. Those who reject Him, will never be free to explore all that our Heavenly Father has given us which is found in Christ Jesus.  His restoration has a purpose for each of His sons and daughters…..It is not just the forgiveness of sins, yet, forgiveness is enough for all but, He has greater plans for us. Salvation is just His start spot,….so, come to Him, if you are far. He calls us out to bring us in to His plan.

Repent now, while He is near. Turn from your sin and turn to Jesus Christ on His cross.  Be covered and washed clean in His blood. Be born from above by the hand of God and be come His kid….. Come now while it is still day.

Peter has waved his arm back behind the counter to take anyone in the kitchen to pray with them.

Littlestone nodded and continued, come now, while it is just turning to night and then His Day approaches like the rising of the sun. Go to Peter and he will pray with you. Please turn to Him now. I hear Him calling you…… Do you?

Littlestone spoke up and said, okay, let us climb up higher in reading some more. A new vista is calling us up. We can’t stop here! God help us if we do, for there is more to see to know of Him…. Read now my two favorite prayers:

Ephesians 1:16-23:

 I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. 

 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. 

I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe.

That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 

And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.

Here we are, Father God, glorify Your name through every soul gathered in Your place, before the very throne of God. May the Word of Your heart fill us and be fulfilled in and through us, so all may know the greatness of Your love, in Jesus name, we ask this.

AMEN and AMEN echoed in the diner and throughout that day and every day before His throne.

Then He continued to read and confirm the greatness of their God, Ephesians 3:14-21:

 For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. 

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.

And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

 

Only faith in God will produce His Word to work mightily in us according to His power which works in us….. His Spirit, His fruit, His grace…. Christ will be all and in all, as written.  Amen?

Amen resounded like the thunderings of heaven were coming through this little diner.

Once you know Him, you see Him, Littlestone continued… We know Him, because our faith works His Word which results in experience in each and every one of His kids in every second of every day…..He is the Living God and His Word is alive and active….. in us.

Just say yes and walk with Him.  From His glory, we go to glory and  from faith to faith, we ascend to His high calling found in God by Christ Jesus.  Our faith in God and His Word is our King’s and God’s greatest pleasure.

His work is finished, but Holy Spirit is at work now in us completing the new creation within us, which we are in Christ. His Word complete will be manifested in His body. As written we are complete in Him as found in Colossians.

Do not stop reading Scripture, allow Scripture to be the best meal you have every eaten.

Pray without ceasing and praising Him for the fellowship we have now in Christ Jesus.

Praise Him forever and ever!

As written in Psalm 67:1-4

God be merciful and bless us, and cause His face to shine upon us, that Your way may be known on the earth, Your salvation among the nations.

Let the peoples praise You, O God;

Let all the peoples praise You.

Oh, let the nations be glad and sing for joy!

For You shall judge the people righteously, and govern the nations on earth.

 

Everyone yelled, Amen……. Amen……So be it, Lord!

There was a mountain that quaked then fell, which no one knew in the diner…..There are many things we do not need to know, but we need to praise.

Our great Holy One saw Satan falling like lightning again. This day and month and year will be written down in His books of war!

Praising God through prayer and His Word can move all things out of His way!

Just believe today!

Who is worthy of all our love, faith and honor?  Praise be the Father, the Son and His Holy Spirit.

He looks inside of us with His searching Lamp…..

May His eyes behold, we have not left our first love…..States in Revelation 2:2-7:  “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write:

These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands. 

I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked people, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false. 

You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary.

Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first. 

Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first.

If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place. 

But you have this in your favor: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.

We have been given great and mighty heavenly riches revealed unto us who call on the Lamb as their King and Savior…..

We cannot be as Esau who despised his inheritance for lesser things of this world, which will pass away….

Only His Word will remain. Only those who do the will of God abides forever, for the world is passing away.

Eat abundantly from His tree of life.

Be strong in Him. Allow His Word to fill and fulfill each purpose the Word has been sent to do in each of us and  around us…. Amen?

AMEN!!! So be it, Lord Jesus..

As we all hear, the Spirit and the bride call all to come…. All who are thirsty and all who hunger for righteousness….

Come and be filled this day…..

His arms are wide open.

Fall before Him now and repent of all that separates Him from you….

Allow His home to be in your spirit and learn by Holy Spirit to make room for Him in your soul now and forever.

Turn away from the idols of this world before they are torn away because this world is fading away…. All that remains are the new in Him…. We, the new creation in Christ, is His new work as written in Revelation 21:5 :Then He who sat on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He said to me, write, for these words are true and faithful.

Littlestone continued: 1 John 3:1-3 states: Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!

Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him as He is.

And everyone who has this hope purifies Himself, just as He is pure.

And we say as His children, amen and so be it, Lord, so be it…… May You be glorified in and by Your kids here and all that call on Your name.

Amen and amen was heard in heaven for the loudness from the small group. Their love for Him alone rose on high.  Their faith rose to His greatness in praise for His glory alone.

Selah!

More to Come—- He Is Willing!

Live this year with total intent on knowing Him by His Word and in prayerful communion…… Let it be heard, I know you, come into the fellowship of the Lord.  Hear Him today….. Then see Him these days.

Ask for ears to hear Him! All His sheep hear Him! Then the eyes to see Him will be granted. First, believe in Him. Know Him by His Word.  Trust in Him…..Then you see His hand in all things….. Afterall, He is God!

Praise Him and love Him…..He is sooooooooooo good!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Uri and Littlestone continued their adventure in God while never leaving their booth….

They were going over all Littlestone had spoken on His fruit will remain and all else will be burned with fire….. They were praying to have very delicate ears to hear Him all the time. They asked to hear His footsteps approach in the night and through their busy day.

They continued to discuss how great their King was and is and forever will be. Thankful they were called to know Him.

The Gift of Jesus Christ as the Open Door to Heavenly Father was just the beginning to know and see all the things God has planned for them.   The scope was so wide and so deep and so high and so long. Only God could have thought of this all and put it together by His Son…. Best yet, we get to be in His Son….They were getting overwhelmed with excitement and joy.

Littlestone spoke, yes, truly Christ in us is our great hope of glory! Father opened up so much more to us then just forgiveness of sins, though that in itself would have been enough.

But not for our God, said Uri.

Littlestone agreed as he took another sip of coffee.

They were both so full of enthusiasm  and ready to ride their horses unto the great unknown.  They looked out, both said simultaneously, not today.

Yet, Uri continued, in Holy Spirit, we can go everywhere and anywhere from His holy throne….by His Spirit and in Christ Jesus, we can do all things that strengthen us as written.  We are in time but bigger than that, we are in eternity in Him, and there are no boundaries any more……Not in prayer, or knowledge or love….. He sends His Word swiftly……by us, said Uri.

Holy Spirit is our best Ride ever! she said, while the fire of His love in her was bursting out. Lightning flares were flying around her from His presence within her.

She continued, they say, whoever they are, the sky is the limit; well, in Christ, there is no limit to prayer, to knowing Him and doing the impossible because with God, all things are possible.

He is the best God ever, she again finished with a big grin and sigh….She looked out again wanting to ride again. Everyone saw her face as bright as the sun, shining from the love of God which had been revealed to her from above.

Uri looked at Littlestone, wow! Do you see what I see?

He smiled and understood her wanting to ride. The same sense of adventure to cover ground on a horse comes to him while His Word reveals all they can be and is available to us to be in Christ……

Through fields and valleys in the apprehension of Christ, we go everyday, we learn a little more, he said, but we are always there and yet always coming deeper into His Presence who is Ancient, but new to us.

I guess this is what He meant from faith to faith and from glory to glory we obtain on High.  May this be the way to the high calling found in Christ Jesus.…..

Riding his mare seems the way to cover that ground, but Holy Spirit brought up Psalm 45 before his eyes:

He read aloud verses 1-9:

My heart is stirred by a noble theme
as I recite my verses for the king;
my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.

You are the most excellent of men
and your lips have been anointed with grace,
since God has blessed you forever.

Gird your sword on your side, you mighty one;
clothe yourself with splendor and majesty.
In your majesty ride forth victoriously
in the cause of truth, humility and justice;
let your right hand achieve awesome deeds.
Let your sharp arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s enemies;
let the nations fall beneath your feet.
 Your throne, O God,^[c] will last for ever and ever;
a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.
 You love righteousness and hate wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions
by anointing you with the oil of joy.

 All your robes are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia;
from palaces adorned with ivory
the music of the strings makes you glad.
Daughters of kings are among your honored women;
at your right hand is the royal bride in gold of Ophir.

 Littlestone burst out saying: In Him, we can ride by His Spirit….

Father God, we praise you here and thank You. There is no God like You and we are so grateful and excited to be Your children as we are also so grateful for Jesus Christ and all His finished work on the cross….

We count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord. May we gain all of You in our hearts and soul and be abounding abundantly with Christ in us and through us, in Jesus name, Amen!

Uri yelled, and astonishing so did the rest of the people in the diner:  Amen, Lord, so be it!

The diner all shook with the praise of their God!

Some one yelled out, Let it snow. Let it snow!  Let your grace abound more as written….

We can stay here in Your presence, Holy One, and gaze on Your beauty as the knowledge of You is filling us to overflow. Thank You, Sir.

Everyone shouted AMEN and Amen!

Then this scripture came to mind to Littlestone. He opened it up and read it aloud.

As written in Revelation 7:09-17:

After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.

And they cried out in a loud voice:

“Salvation belongs to our God,
who sits on the throne,
and to the Lamb.”

All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,  saying:

“Amen!
Praise and glory
and wisdom and thanks and honor
and power and strength
be to our God for ever and ever.
Amen!”

Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?”

 I answered, “Sir, you know.”

And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore,

“they are before the throne of God
and serve him day and night in his temple;
and he who sits on the throne
will shelter them with his presence.
 ‘Never again will they hunger;
never again will they thirst.
The sun will not beat down on them,
nor any scorching heat.
 For the Lamb at the center of the throne
will be their shepherd;
‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’
‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’

Again, the excitement, or was it His living water bubbling up in a heavenly way, building up inside everyone in the diner as the Word of God was spoken and believed. They all saw all what God has done for them and what is planned ahead for each one of them.

They realized also this was a smidge of all that He has planned for us.  How wide the heavenly realm of possibilities in Christ have been opened and released upon them. As written in 1 Corinthians 2:9-16:

However, as it is written:

“What no eye has seen,
what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived”—
the things God has prepared for those who love him—

these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit.

The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them?

 In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 

 What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. 

 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words.

 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. 

The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments, for

“Who has known the mind of the Lord
so as to instruct him?

But we have the mind of Christ.

Amen again was heard like a freight train in this little place which it’s inhabitants abode was in heaven and on earth.

The quest of His Word making fresh tracks in the snow for them. Their revelation of all He had laid before them is neverending…..

Stay tuned for some more of this path they are plowing in the snow storm of their dream which beyond all imagination but is His reality.

SELAH!

More to Come- He Is Willing!

Littlestone was sitting at the little diner that Uri and him meet often to talk.

It had been snowing all night, he had walked there. The roads were unpassable until the men clear some of the snow aside…..

He looked out at the fogged-up windows. He saw each and every snowflake and knew they would complete the mission that they were sent.  Their end would be in the neverending overflowing river.

He thought how the snow shows us how faithful is His neverending grace pouring over us every minute of every day. As a snowflake, it will melt into the river. However, we get filled with His river of the Spirit of Grace and Life, when we turn to see Jesus Christ, repent.  The death shroud is removed and we are made clean as white as snow.

He prayed all to believe in the greatness of the Gift of His Son.

He looked up at the blanket of white and thanked the Creator of His love, neverending love, neverfailing love.

Father God, You thought of everything. Only You could make all things work together for good that are according to Your purpose.

Then in walked Uri. She smiled as lightning light up the diner.  She was rosy cheeked and nose was as red as a strawberry.

She ripped off her scarf, then her hat, then her coat. She left her mittens on for her hands were as ice.

She questioned, where is the coffee, or hot chocolate? Did you just get here?

Littlestone smiled as he tried to speak, but could not get out a word…..

Uri looked around and spoke out, Peter is not here.  How did you get in?

Littlestone smiled and said, I texted Peter and asked if he was okay. Peter is snowed in and cannot get out. So he asked me to open up for him and let the people come in out of the cold. He told me to start the coffee going and pour out hot tea, coffee, and chocolate to anyone who walks in.

Uri said, cool….. Uh, where is the coffee?

Littlestone cleared his throat turning red, speaking, I cannot figure out how it works and I do not know how much coffee to put in……

Littlestone replied, hot water is from the same machine.

Littlestone pointed his head towards the counter, speaking, come on, maybe you can figure it out.

They both headed to behind the counter.

Uri had it brewing as the pungent aroma of brewing coffee

was filling the diner.

She spoke out to the people in the booths, ready in a jiff.

Come on up if you want some hot tea or hot chocolate…

The people formed a line. Graciously they laid down their dollars for they all loved Peter, the owner.

Then Uri said, okay let me know if you want refills.  Cooking you will have to wait on Peter.

She smiled and continued, I do not think he wants to gamble on a fire to warm us up and that is what will happen if I try to cook anything on this huge grill.

They all laughed and said, we can wait…..

Then a sweet man said, hey let’s pray for the town and the people that are stuck in the snow.

So they did and His presence filled the tiny diner.  The warmth of prayer and Holy Spirit and the hot beverages warmed everyone up.

They were all talking and joking as Peter walked in. There was a loud YAY! Ringing out to their cook and chief bottle washer entering in.

He smiled speaking, I knew you all prayed because all of a sudden my driveway melted enough to allow me to get down the street and I followed the plow all the way here. Thank God and thank you for your prayers.

Everyone spoke out, Praise God!

Give me ten to get it all started up in the kitchen.

Uri go ahead and pour out some more coffee, and hot whatever any one wants, okay?

Uri replied, on it, boss!

Littlestone was applying his new trade as a barista making the coffee flow from the maker.

Eventually, all were fed and filled to overflowing with hot beverages.

Uri and Littlestone sat at their favorite booth.  They were sipping their coffee as their empty hot chocolate mugs were pushed to the side.

They both contemplating the wonderful white world that was before them.

Uri spoke, it was a God thing, that John decided to stay through the night at the barn. He is taking care of the horses. I called and checked, they are all fed, watered and blanketed.

Thank God John decided to stay over the weekend, who knows when the roads will be cleared to get out to the barn, agreed Littlestone.

They both turned their attention outside again….

Then Littlestone broke the silence, so you had a good Christmas, right?

Uri smiled and said, oh yeah! How about you?

He said, yup.

She felt the necklace he had given her under her jacket.

She smiled, thank you again for the necklace. I really love it.

He smiled, I thought you would…….

Father God, show me great and mighty things that I do not know, please, they said jointly.

Then they broke out with a chuckle and huge grins.

Uri asked, so what is He showing you?  I know you got something. Come on, cough it up!  I want to know! Just like that old magazine, inquiring minds have got to know!

They both laughed and then took a sip.

Littlestone looked outside again to gather his thoughts and ask what he was okay to relay.

He paged through his journal.

After a couple of minutes, he spoke, well, I was reading in Corinthians about all things will be tested by fire. I mean all our works will be tested by fire as written in 1 Corinthians 3:11-16….

 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 

 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light.

It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. 

If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. 

If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.

 Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?

I asked Him about my own work? Is my work before Your eyes up to Your standard of You?  I mean, Lord, how can it be?  I am human and You are not!

I am still fallible and very much learning of You and Your ways, Lord.  Please allow me grace to know so I may change my ways.

Uri said, okay and……She looked at him exasperated, what did He say?

He said, His work is finished and I keep in His work and abide in Him.  Child, He said, abide in Me and My Word does the work mightily in you….. Christ in you is the work of conformity.  You speaking to Me and leaning on Me is  My desire as also you following what I  AM speaks… I AM does the rest.   The formula is to be in Me and I AM in you….Fire of My love burns all the dross away and what is left will be seen by all on My Day. The perfect work of My Spirit in My beloved people.

The work you do, Child, is not struggling to be something that you do not know how to be, but to see Me and know Me, from knowing Me, in all you do has it’s start in I AM. Then you shall walk from faith to faith and glory to glory ascending by I AM on high.

Do not be anxious, for all religion lays heavy burdens on you….But I AM is here to give My friends rest.

My fire, Christ in you, burns the flames of love to Our Father….. For those who think their works are great for all to see, My flames of fire will burn the outside to in…..What fruit is from Me shall remain.

Littlestone closed his journal.   He looked at her and said, I think, if our works are all on outside and there is no relationship with Him in our secret place, well, I think those works will be burned.

Our works for Him come from Him in our secret place….  No one else may ever notice or see, but He sees all…. I think the question to ask, who are doing this for? Where did it originate? His foundation or ours?

The foundation is Christ alone……..All else will be burned…..As it is also written in Colossians, Christ will be all and in all.

As it is written in 1 John 3:1-7:

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 

Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.  who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.

Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. 

But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. 

 No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him.

Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.

Uri smiled; this is an awesome secret…. I always thought that passage in scripture were for those who have like big ministries, ministers or pastors, builders of His kingdom on this earth.  I never thought it had to do with my personal walk with Jesus Christ, as King of My heart.

Thanks for sharing that,….. I really mean it. I rather know now than be caught off guard at His Day.

Littlestone spoke, there are many out there, whether believers or not, who struggle to become something they are not.   When we turn and see Him, our consecration starts….. We continue in Him, by Him and for Him alone…. The transformation of and by His hand is from His finished work on the cross. Seeing Him is imperative…….

The work of His Spirit alone in us does the burning….. I rather burn now and not later, he finished chuckling.

Uri said, Okay, I have finished taking my notes…. What else did He show you?

Littlestone opened his mouth to continue on as he turned back some pages in his journal….

Well, Littlestone started, under the tree all the presents are torn apart quickly that were once wrapped with care….. The gifts are all opened, but are they? There are many that are still there?

The greatest Gift we have is in the Son of God…… believing in His Salvation for us, then receiving Him in our heart…. But then we must not be an Esau who bargained away his inheritance, his godly inheritance, for stew….or lesser things of this earth….

Our divine nature that has been given to us by our faith in Christ and the presence of His Spirit, is an awesome life that we have knowledge, power and gifts that many do not know and leave under the  tree, if you will, the cross and then the Tree of Life….

We live on this side of the resurrection, with His new life in us…. His life which is abundant and vibrant….. We are seated in Christ in the heavenlies…. We see things and know things that only be by the Spirit of God has given us to see and know……Then we pray and stand to see His goodness fill the earth. Or we stand and protect against the evil that has schemed to harm and destroy others unaware…. We must be diligent in our prayer life for others through His Spirit.

This is the real life in Christ alone…The divine life that we may live in and by here and now.  We must cross the Jordan or be in dwelt by His Spirit to operate by His Spirit….. This is part of our inheritance in Christ Jesus.

He opened his mouth to say, many are leaving their personalized gifts with their names on it under the tree of Jesus Christ, the Tree of Life—-

UNOPENED…

This should not be…..Belief is the key to open your heart to His Spirit to enter in and release the flood of His Spirit within….. each of His children.

And, he started to say……Do not be deceived, what we seek after in the flesh, we will receive. What we seek after in Him, we will continue to grow strong in great faith and believe all that can be is never impossible…. Just enter in and see Him and then you will know… All is possible to those who believe in God…. Just look up to Him and see…..HIM ALONE.

Uri was writing as fast as she could, and he waited to continue, but he had more to say…..

He started to show her………….

Tune in next time,  God is willing!

SELAH!

 

 

Littlestone was remembering the day for Joshua in Joshua chapter 5: 13:15: Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, “Are you for us or for our enemies?”

 “Neither,” he replied, “but as commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.” Then Joshua fell facedown to the ground in reverence, and asked him, “What message does my Lord have for his servant?”

 The commander of the Lord’s army replied, “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did so.

Littlestone thought the Lord is for Himself because He will not deny Himself as written in 2 Timothy 2:11-13:  Here is a trustworthy saying:

If we died with him,
we will also live with him;
 if we endure,
we will also reign with him.
If we disown him,
he will also disown us;
 if we are faithless,
he remains faithful,
for he cannot disown himself.

So littlestone thought, if the Lord is faithful, and He is…. He is faithful to His Word…. He cannot deny Himself as written.  We as His followers must be faithful to Him at all costs.

He was studying the Word, waiting on Him, who knows the End from the Beginning. You showed up when the Israelites had just gone through circumcision, after You held back the waters of the Jordan…..and they crossed over into their promise land.

They had consecrated themselves to You…. Now, we are to circumcise our heart with You, the King of our hearts….to allow You to fill us with the living Word of God.

If You brought us out from the world to bring us in so we may take dominion over the land we live for You. Souls of mankind is Your desire.

You want to fill all and be in all as written in Colossians.

We must walk according to Your Word and obey the voice of Holy Spirit’s guidance.

We walk from victory.

By the Word of God, we walk.

By the Word of God, we talk.

By the Word of God, we live and breath and have our being.

By the Word of God, we rule and reign by Christ Jesus.

If we want the victory as in Israel’s victory in Jericho, then we must circumcise our hearts over the next days into the coming months as they turn into years.

Not much of a sacrifice to start the prayer and fasting after the holidays, he thought…..!!!!

But to lay down all our traditions, feasting and festivities.  We hear the trumpet call,  and know this is a somber and vital day to sit before Him and hear.

This is the sacrifice of our heart that will count to Him, who sees all and knows all…. He who usually takes a seat on the table near the neglected manger scene.

He also is in a storage room where His commands are etched in stone.

His name is not lifted up in prayer by the kids in the morning as it was by every school in the land as their day started,

Will it be soon the pledge of alligiance will be forbidden too?

There will be a time of feasting and celebrating but it is not the time…..

Wake up and hear Him……

Turn off the world and tune in Him alone…..

Father God, stop the clock until You see Your glory fill the earth and the waters fill the sea.

What a sacrifice of love to our King to just sit at His feet in prayer for the Day we call His birthday.

What if we turned off the traditions of the days that are coming.

What if we just spent time with Him and for Him to hear Him.

After all, this season is about Him and not us.

He is not on our side nor on our enemy’s side.

He is for Himself and His grace is allowing us to bring glory to His name in all we do, all we walk and all we talk.

If Christmas Day is about Him, America,….. and it IS for HE IS THE GREAT I AM.

Then let us hold our hearts before Him and spend the days before Him and quench the festivities…..

How bad do we want the land He has given us to be for Him?

It starts with us,…..and He alone has our future in His hands….

As we follow His Word and sit with Him, faith comes by hearing the Word……

What more mountains shall be moved by His grace and mercy ?

 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world, Galatians 6:14.

Tone down the days ahead and tune in to Him who holds all our days in His hands…. Loving hands, but He is God….

How bad do we want Him to have His rights restored in the land?

How bad do we want the violence against our kids stopped?

How much do we say we do, but do not sit before the One who sees all and knows all we need…..

He will supply all we need according to His riches in glory, if we believe.

Giving Him audience to know the way of Him in the coming days…..is imperative…..

Know His secrets and the enemies plans will be thwarted and back fire before our eyes.

If we say we love and do not do what He desires and commands…….?

How is our life of love to Him alone be revealed? Love Him with all we are and all we got, my paraphrase.

2 John 2:4-6: Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what He commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. 

But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him:  Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.

Our King left many in His days on this earth. He went before His Father many hours for communion, how much more should we?

Littlestone was seeing his glass of understanding filling up before him on what was shown him over the last couple of days….

He parted the red sea before the wilderness, and the Jordan before Jericho, and after each one, it is written that they prepared themselves for battle.

He delivered them and set them where He wanted….

Then, told them to prepare for battle?

He thought, how weird as he would have been celebrating over the waters being divided before his eyes…..

It surprised him that they went into a battle mentality and also consecrated themselves to Him for three days instead of celebrating.

He thought, wow, if all the believers in this land for the Eve of His day, His day, and after, tuned off all and sat before Him in prayer….

Wow….

What consecration and honor, He would receive….Could we then be so cleansed of the world, we would be ready for the battle?

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus as stated in Philippians chapter 4, 19.

 

But He knew what was ahead of them….

They were told to consecrate themselves or circumcise themselves…..

Now we are to come before the Lord and pour our hearts out and allow the New Wine of His Spirit to be filling us up to overflow…

So we may be walking out these days as written in Ephesians 1:19-23:

according to the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe according of His mighty power which he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms,  far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.  And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in everything in everyway.

 

He could hear the people’s objections about the festivities and celebrations that might be toned down, or stopped.

Then he thought, what a legacy to give your children….

Hey, this year is different.

We have been given a great window of opportunity of grace and mercy from our God. We must respect Him and honor and gather at His feet as the saints still do this day.

We must give Him our time today after all, it is His birthday……

Then, when the waters part and things of heaven are revealed on this earth…. Then they shall see the God of glory in their midst…..

Can we be bold as Joshua was and take the land?…

Father God, stop the clock until we do…

Speak His Word in prayer and declarations around as if we were walking around Jericho and then on the fulfilled day, watch the walls fall down of strongholds of darkness.

I double dog dare all to partake as His sons and daughters should be apart of their Father’s business.

Celebrate His Day as He desires!

Be bold and courageous, for He is with us,……. Immanuel…..

But He is still for HIMSELF and HIS GLORY!!

Now His sons and daughters are for Him and His glory.

SELAH!

 

 

 

 

Great work equals great opposition thought Littlestone as he was understanding the times that surround us.

He prayed for all of his brothers and sisters that are being persecuted  globallyfor being His people and showing others the way of Jesus.  He knows from his own experience that many people rather choose the wide path of destruction than turn their heart and ear to the One who has called them with an everlasting love.

Pride is a pair of glasses: one side is of delusion and the other side is deception. Together the view engages the gate opener to destruction. Destruction is now and then forever…… God will not be mocked as scripture speaks in Galatians 6:7-8: Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

Littlestone also thought how the fear of man can lead into spiral of a downward slope. He remembered the word of his King in John 12:42-43: Yet at the same time many even among the leaders believed in him. But because of the Pharisees they would not openly acknowledge their faith for fear they would be put out of the synagogue;  for they loved human praise more than praise from God.

He thought they better love the honor because it will be for eternity. It can be the neighbors or the work place, that the voice of Truth bows to the fear of man.

He has witnessed not much talk of Holy Spirit working through as He has been placed as a Governor overseeing the purification and sanctification of the “stone pots”, us, which Jesus Christ turned from water to wine…… Alas, maybe because the cross at work within each of His saints is welcomed, but not so much regretfully within the congregations that meet on Sunday. This should not be……The cross of Christ is our liberty and freedom in His Spirit….. Christ in me is my hope of glory…..

Romans 12: 1-2 speaks loudly as to the life we are to be living now if we have the guarantee of Holy Spirit….. He thought Ephesians 1:14 speaks:  The Holy Spirit is the down payment on our inheritance, which is applied toward our redemption as God’s own people, resulting in the honor of God’s glory.

Littlestone found the scripture as he was reading it, he thought,….hmmmm,….. so there is a much fuller or a completed deal to be received of our inheritance…..

Could that be the fullness of Christ?……

If so, then how much more should we be living as Romans 12:1-2 this day….. Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 

 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Littlestone opened the Word to Hebrews chapter two:

For this reason [that is, because of God’s final revelation in His Son Jesus and because of Jesus’ superiority to the angels] we must pay much closer attention than ever to the things that we have heard, so that we do not [in any way] drift away from truth. 

For if the message given ^[b]through angels [the Law given to Moses] was authentic and unalterable, and every violation and disobedient act received an appropriate penalty,  how will we escape [the penalty] if we ignore such a great salvation [the gospel, the new covenant]?

For it was spoken at first by the Lord, and it was confirmed to us and proved authentic by those who personally heard [Him speak], 

[and besides this evidence] God also testifying with them [confirming the message of salvation], both by signs and wonders and by various miracles [carried out by Jesus and the apostles] and by [granting to believers the] gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will.

It was not to angels that God subjected the [inhabited] world of the future [when Christ reigns], about which we are speaking. ⁶ But one has [solemnly] testified somewhere [in Scripture], saying,

“What is man, that You are mindful of him,
Or the son of man, that You graciously care for him?

“You have made him for a little while lower [in status] than the angels;
You have crowned him with glory and honor,
^[c]And set him over the works of Your hands;

You have put all things in subjection under his feet [confirming his supremacy].”

Now in putting all things in subjection to man, He left nothing outside his control. But at present we do not yet see all things subjected to him.

But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while [by taking on the limitations of humanity], crowned with glory and honor because of His suffering of death, so that by the grace of God [extended to sinners] He might experience death for [the sins of] everyone.

 For it was fitting for God [that is, an act worthy of His divine nature] that He, for whose sake are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the ^[d]author and founder of their salvation perfect through suffering [bringing to maturity the human experience necessary for Him to be perfectly equipped for His office as High Priest].

 Both Jesus who sanctifies and those who are sanctified [that is, spiritually transformed, made holy, and set apart for God’s purpose] are all from one Father; for this reason He is not ashamed to call them ^[e]brothers and sisters, 

saying,

“I will declare Your (the Father’s) name to My brethren (believers),
In the midst of the congregation I will sing Your praise.”

 And again He says,

“My trust and confident hope will be placed in Him.”

And again,

“Here I am, I and the children whom God has given Me.”

 Therefore, since [these His] children share in flesh and blood [the physical nature of mankind], He Himself in a similar manner also shared in the same [physical nature, but without sin], so that through [experiencing] death He might make powerless (ineffective, impotent) him who had the power of death—that is, the devil— 

and [that He] might free all those who through [the haunting] fear of death were held in slavery throughout their lives. 

 For, as we all know, He (Christ) does not take hold of [the fallen] angels [to give them a helping hand], but He does take hold of [the fallen] descendants of Abraham [extending to them His hand of deliverance]. 

 Therefore, it was essential that He had to be made like His brothers (mankind) in every respect, so that He might [by experience] become a merciful and faithful High Priest in things related to God, to make atonement (propitiation) for the people’s sins [thereby wiping away the sin, satisfying divine justice, and providing a way of reconciliation between God and mankind]. 

 Because He Himself [in His humanity] has suffered in being tempted, He is able to help and provide immediate assistance to those who are being tempted and exposed to suffering.

Littlestone smiled to himself as he read thereby wiping away the sins, satisfying divine justice, and providing a way of reconciliation between God and mankind……How he thought so many people bring up people sins and never bring up the power of the blood of Jesus that wiped them away. Yet, we have been given His Spirit within us with His divine nature, the power of God within us to live a very holy and transformed life from Him in the heavenly realm…We live in the heavenly realm abiding in Christ and Christ lives in us as we are on this earth…… It is a mystery but it is the life we live now as believers in our Great King and Heavenly Father God.

He knew and knows that it takes Christ in me to love God with my whole heart. Living a life and a heart that is consecrated to God takes courage, endurance and patience.

Littlestone also thought, if we are really loving our God above all things…. Then, we would be living a life thinking of Him. Talking to Him on all things. He knew to live a life pleasing his King was important. It was his purpose and goal…. He was His follower…. ….

He continued his thoughts in living a life consecrated unto God, will create much opposition. The same evil that ran after his King to find fault and persecute is the same evil that hunts after His saints today.

However, thanks be to God, that whatever the devil means for harm, God turns to God for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose…. As Romans 8:28-39:

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 

 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 

 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?  

He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? 

 Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. 

Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. 

 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 

 As it is written:

“For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”

Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 

 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,

nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Littlestone wondered the last time he heard that taught and preached on a Sunday morning. If time is short, we must know where we are in Him……

Then he heard….. There are ones who are hungry, which shall be filled…..There are those who are for show and the honor of men are greater then their hunger for I AM.  Then there are those who play the harlot and deceive themselves as going to a building once a week will bargain their eternal life in I AM.

Littlestone waited quietly as he did not expect his King to answer his thoughts….

But He did.  He answers yours too….. Psalm 139…..He is here with you…..now. Speak to Him…..

O Lord, you have searched me [thoroughly] and have known me.
 You know when I sit down and when I rise up [my entire life, everything I do];
You understand my thought from afar.
You scrutinize my path and my lying down,
And You are intimately acquainted with all my ways.
Even before there is a word on my tongue [still unspoken],
Behold, O Lord, You know it all.
You have enclosed me behind and before,
And [You have] placed Your hand upon me.

Such [infinite] knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is too high [above me], I cannot reach it.

Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
If I ascend to heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead), behold, You are there.
^{If I take the wings of the dawn,
If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,
Even there Your hand will lead me,
And Your right hand will take hold of me.}

^{If I say, “Surely the darkness will cover me,}

^{And the night will be the only light around me,”
Even the darkness is not dark to You and conceals nothing from You,
But the night shines as bright as the day;
Darkness and light are alike to You.}

^{For You formed my innermost parts;
You knit me [together] in my mother’s womb.
I will give thanks and praise to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Wonderful are Your works,
And my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was being formed in secret,
And intricately and skillfully formed [as if embroidered with many colors] in the depths of the earth.}

^{Your eyes have seen my unformed substance;
And in Your book were all written
The days that were appointed for me,
When as yet there was not one of them [even taking shape].}

^{How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
If I could count them, they would outnumber the sand.
When I awake, I am still with You.}

^{[that You would kill the wicked, O God;
Go away from me, therefore, men of bloodshed.
For they speak against You wickedly,
Your enemies take Your name in vain.1
Do I not hate those who hate You, O Lord?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?}

^{I hate them with perfect and utmost hatred;
They have become my enemies.}

^{Search me [thoroughly], O God, and know my heart;
Test me and know my anxious thoughts;
And see if there is any wicked or hurtful way in me,
And lead me in the everlasting way.}

 Listen, write, find scripture to be in accord…. Then again,  listen and write and ask some more and find the words He speaks in His word…

Walk and talk with the Lord today because we are not guaranteed tomorrow.

You need to know Him….. Come to His cross, if you have not yet.  We can go to the cross very often for it is our way and His……

Use today for knowing Him and He to know you and whose house you are.

His voice cuts the hard stuff and melts them away…. His voice is powerful! Hear Him as a sheep of His should!

 

SELAH!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Littlestone was riding again up to the His Meeting Place.  Aalyiah was very frisky in the cold weather as the temperature dropped significantly as they ascended to meet with his King….

His face was burning as they trotted up the hill. The cold wind was stimulating his being. He took in the bright sun rising in a clear sky ahead of him. Just as he took in a deep cold breath,  Aalyiah spooked and jumped sideways as a deer with a large set of antlers lifted his head…..

Littlestone patted her neck and comforted her.  He gently said, it is okay, I know you thought it was a bush and then it moved to a big horse with sticks coming out of his head….He smiled as he chuckled. She sneezed trying to shrug off her embarrassment of getting startled.

They reached their destination as he hopped off her. He released the bridle and put the halter on to allow her to graze and cool off.  They both heard the babbling brook sing her song out to her Creator.

The flow of His river will never stop. Top of the mountain to the valley, His river bellows forth. Bringing His refreshing water to every soul. Singing out, I am sent from Him who holds me in His hand…. I am sent to bring the healing of many that have kneeled to Him alone.   Here I go and here I am filling the hearts of man.

He sat and listened to her song as the song was loud and the birds joined in with their medley to their King. It was a beautiful orchestra thought Littlestone.

He opened his journal and read all that had happened over the last four months.  He remembered many a night and hungry day staying in front of Him in prayer.

The world was changed in an instant, His hand of mercy sprayed it’s rays over the lands. Healing has begun and all will see His glory now and again.  The talk and rumors of wars will be halted by the kindness of His hand in strength, hoping in his heart, thought Littlestone.

But the war will always be between evil and His reign over His creation.  He wondered how many wars could be halted if the saints stayed in position of quietness before Him and interceded.  Some jump up in victory as they think the battle is won, but alas, he thought, a battle has been won but the war is still going on.

He prayed to His King for the holidays not to get people off their knees…..

Yes, he thought, we celebrate that You gave us Your Son…… Your Son has been given….. Your Son has died and has risen….. He now sits above all in His throne…..

Those who listen to the stillness, can hear His cry to His beloved, Come up here!

He prayed, Father God, please allow the people who call on Your Son’s name, to know above all, we have been brought up to His throne.  We are seated now in the heavenly places learning and speaking what we hear….. Our place is not to leave but to remain there.

Set our eyes on things above where we are seated with the Heavenly One.

Don’t get distracted by earthly things that will vanish before the year that begins brings.

May we know this may be the Christmas that His river runs through us again and again….

Father, awaken us to know we must remain faithful to the post You have called us….May You be so pleased to see all the saints coming to their knees. They have heeded the call and are coming up to You because they believe…. Their place with You is where You are…..

What better place to be, then to be sitting at Your feet.  Seeing Your smile looking at us and then turning Your eyes to the place of trouble…

He said:

“The Lord came from Sinai
    and dawned over them from Seir;
    he shone forth from Mount Paran.
He came with myriads of holy ones
    from the south, from his mountain slopes.^[b]
3 Surely it is you who love the people;
    all the holy ones are in your hand.
At your feet they all bow down,
    and from you receive instruction, Deuteronomy 33:2-3.

We know our prayers in diligence bring peace and comfort to those in despair.

Our prayers are as arrows going forth by His hand to those who need His help as we lend our hand, really a prayer.  These touches of our King are known by the hearts He pours His love in and He is the One who glory we lift up.

The gift of sitting where He is in faith and following His Spirit not by sight nor by power but by the Spirit is His way and glory to God that we partake.

Great is the gift of salvation given to us. But how much more do You have in store for us, My King.

Our purpose is greater than not going to hell. Oh no, awaken our eyes and see that Your purpose in us and through us must be complete.  We do not want to frustrate the King as His body, we must obey our Head and be obedient and go where and speak where and kneel here as He commands.

The wilderness always leads us to Your land. In Christ, we live, move and have our being. In Christ, where we abide and there is more to know than will ever meet our eyes.

He is the head and we are complete in Him as Colossians speaks. Ride His Spirit into the unknown and follow our faith to faith and glory to glory trail in His throne. Who knows but we may be answering the high calling of God in Christ Jesus this day….. Do not delay… Seek and know Him today….. The wise are still seeking Him this way.

Do not look back and do not hesitate, we must not be late… Come all who call on the King of glory.

Has He entered your heart to reign?

Has He been given all authority within and without the place of your feet?

Listen, shhh, listen……. Hear His whisper calling your name?

Listen now and turn….. Turn your heart open to Him…

He is not a baby any longer….

He is not in a grave any longer…..

Hear His roar as He is King over all!

Littlestone was writing down all that was flying through his head. He did not want to miss one word that Holy Spirit said.

Then He heard a beautiful song of praise toward the One who shines brighter than the sun. 

Listen……

Keep the place He has called you to be, up here at His feet….. It is His throne, please believe.

Selah!
