Encouragement & Scriptures from our Lord Jesus
♥My child you are more than a priceless diamond in the formation of the rough. As you lay yourself before Me, you shine brighter than most; captivating all of the Hosts of Heaven as they set their eyes upon you in wonderment. They no longer ask why My favor rests upon you, as My glory shines forth from within, without hampered eminence or quenching of fire. I love you with a swift and fierce love, that is ever reaching beyond the bounds of the natural. Though the enemy seeks to count you as lost, in order to defame my Name in which you abide, I will always be upon your heels, setting fire to his snares laid before your feet. As you glide upon the many waters, you rise above the currents of adversity, not moving to the left or the right, as I have set My seal upon your heart and in unison we move toward the Prize – into the outstretched arms of your beloved One, Jesus. Do nothing without waiting upon Me first, as I lead you to still waters in the secret resting place of my love, glancing back only to recall the times I delivered you through fire, so that as a pillar of fire, your presence in the Earth would be for my glory. I am the Great I am, I always was and always shall be. Therefore, you share in my glory of redemption, you always have and you always will. Need I always remind you nothing can pull You out of my grasp? We are one… to deny you would mean I would have to deny Myself and that is simply impossible. Allow Me to separate you from all that is not pure, so the sanctification process is complete and you are made whole. So rest little child, lay your wearied head upon my chest and breathe in as I exhale my goodness as sustenance for your character. You asked for them to see Me in you, but all that truly matters is that I see Me in you. For in a little moment now, I will withdraw my brilliance from upon the Earth and when I do, in the blink of an eye you will be Home – free. Tell them my child… Though I tarry I am right on time. Peace and be still little one, shine bright, for my glory is upon you. Your journey Home is almost complete and it is free to the offering of all who choose Me. Amen.
♥Just a couple days ago I was asked a question about a particular Scripture and I must admit unknowingly I answered, “Correctly,” by doctrine standards, coming into agreement that the Word tells us to, “Owe no man anything…” I felt sure and secure in the answer I had given. Until today… Upon waking this morning the Lord spoke to me and said, “You missed the most important part of what was said about owing man nothing.” So as I got up, fed the dog, got my coffee and began to sit down and ponder with the Lord what today’s, “Precious Pearl” would be, the Holy Spirit kept telling me, “Your only debt is to love.” So I immediately got my Bible out and read the Scripture in fullness and in context about owing no man anything.
Owe no man anything, but to love one another, for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
Romans 13:8
So here I sit… Corrected and embraced all at the same time, joyful to share this “Precious Pearl” with you.
How many times do we take a portion of the Word and format it, out of context, to how we perceive it to relate in our lives or even on some occasions by what we have been told by others? I am seeing now the beauty in this Word as it unfolds, sending a much deeper message than what would appear on the outside looking in. Do you see it too?
The Lord is telling us here to simply love one another, which is the only real debt actually assigned to our name.
I am wondering why we often get so bogged down in the ways of the World, when our purpose is to come up higher? To no longer think, respond and be OF the World rather than, just be IN it for a short season? The truth is we all strive too much to attain that which is already freely given.
They say, “Love makes the World go around…” And in an essence it does. From the same respect, an absence of love makes all things come to a screeching halt. The Bible tells us distinctly all the things we can do, but if love is not present it is barren, futile and pointless.
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
1 Corinthians 13
We often give of our time, talents and resources for the demonstration of love’s sake and can even speak as the angels and anointed men. However, the Word tells us if love is not woven into every act then it profits nothing in the end. I do not want to be this shell of a person, going around doing for others all on the falsity of love and I am certain, neither do you.
Our hearts are crying out for pure love. I thank the Lord for teaching me His truth, untainted by man. In Kingdom principals we have no debt – other than to love one another. He showed me how this debt will never, ever be paid off in this lifetime. Many of us have been striving to pay off our natural debt, forgetting the most important one… The debt of love. One to another, without condition or knit-picking or the setting of standards with expectations.
It is my belief the Father is showing us to stop focusing on paying down this natural debt and begin walking in love in truth, to pay down this debt of love, in which there is no more striving but simply being who we are called to be…. In Him, His love pouring in, as we pour out to others. ♥
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity [brotherly love].
1 Corinthians 13:13
Heavenly Father, Creator of all things, I thank You for this word of wisdom and love. We know You are Love and without You and without love we could not even exist. I am in awe at Your lovingkindness and patience with me each and every day. Your mercies are new every single morning, for which I am eternally grateful. I thank You for caring enough about us to gently lead us into Love so we may take what You so freely have given and share it with others. Thank You Father for teaching us how to cherish and hold from this day forward. In Jesus’s Mighty Name. Amen.

If I never had a broken heart… How could He mend it back together?
If I never chose sin… How could He teach me His righteous ways?
If I never recognized evil… How could I choose that which is good?
If I never saw a stormy sky… How would I accept the promise of a rainbow?
If I never experienced death… How would I treasure a life?
If I never would have lost a love… How would I know to cherish one?
If I never cry… How would I know the joy He ushers in?
If I never had been lied to… How would I place value in the Truth?
If I never suffered rejection… How would I receive acceptance?
If I never was weary… How would I seek Him to grant me rest?

If I never was alone…
How would I know the surety of Oneness?
The Father works all things together for the good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.
Romans 8:28
We all face challenges in our lives each and every day. And sometimes in these moments it is difficult to see the “Sonrise” beyond the rain. However, if we reflect back on our lives as a whole during these struggles, there is not a moment in which He was not there, a time in which He actually did leave us. As scary as the thoughts may be as we consider what we are facing today, the truth is – Nothing can come into the lives of His children unless He permits it, for our purifying and the well being of our souls. Jesus said, “Come to me, those who are weary and I will give you rest.” I have found some of the most precious of souls have not discovered the release that comes with, “Resting in Him.” We are all on a journey and thankfully He is leading us in the way that we should go, embracing us the whole way. If the truth was known, we would comprehend we really have less control on the outcome we are facing than we actually believe. For this reason the Word tells us to, “Glory in our trials and tribulations.”
Doesn’t that sound like a strange statement? Who would want to be joyful over a struggle? Please consider, the source of joy. Would that not be the Lord, Himself? In our human nature we have a tendency to believe getting out of the trial would return our joy back to us. But what if… There is more excellent way? What if… Being in a trial and trusting the Lord is working all of it together for the betterment, protection and completion of our lives is really for our good, for one single solitary purpose? With that purpose being; A closer walk with HIM, in which we are refined, molded and shaped into oneness with Him.
Not only then would we have JOY, but our joy would be made full in knowing Him, intimately.
You see, sometimes our petals do fall off, so to speak.
However, with every single loss there is regrowth; Which is stronger, more vibrant and full of life and abundance in oneness with Joy, Himself.
Heavenly Father today we are purposed to lay our lives down before You. Grant us the serenity in knowing You shall have Your perfect way in our lives as You teach us not only how to trust You but to believe in our hearts You will never leave us or forsake us. We bare our souls to You this day and ask You to deliver us from all that is troubling us today and we thank You for filling our lives with Your presence to overflowing abundance of life and joy. In Jesus’s Mighty Name we pray. Amen.
Love Came Down♥
When love came down, the veil was torn, opening up our accessibility to the Divine. In Jesus all things are not only possible but probable, if we simply believe. The truth is we are all on a journey formulated by Him to foster intimacy and reliance on the only One Who can heal us from brokenness, unworthiness and helplessness in our weakened, fragmented state of being.
When love came down, He bridged the gap between our fleshly weaknesses to overcoming all struggles. As the Author and Finisher of our Faith, Jesus will never leave us or forsake us, which has been proven time and time again in our own lives and the lives of others.
When love came down, He erased all wrongs – making them right. He laid before us footsteps to follow in that leads us on redemption’s path, in victory, as the royalty we were created to be.
When love came down, He instilled within us love, Himself.
God is love.
There is One Way to the Father, His Name is Jesus.
When love came down, being The Way, The Truth and The Life, He opened all pathways to life eternal.
Heavenly Father, we come before You today in adoration and appreciation for sending love to us in Your Holy Son and our Beloved Jesus. We know in our hearts without Him our lives would be incomplete and shaky at best. You knew before we were created all we needed was Jesus to overcome in this life and finally Father we confess we are just now beginning to see that truth in fullness, as well. Your mercy is everlasting to everlasting and we thank You Father for being so patient with us as we fall short daily. We humbly ask You to continue to guide and direct us each day on the way You would have us to go. In Jesus’s Mighty Name we pray. Amen.
Precious Pearls ~
To me a pearl is simply a deeper Spiritual understanding of the Biblical Word through the leading of the Holy Spirit unto the fullness of the Lord. It a pearl because not everyone will understand and those who don’t will use it against you rather than receiving it for what it is – greater understanding of the fullness of God. The Word tells us not to cast our pearls before swine for this reason, due to their lack of understanding of the things of God others may use what He has shown you, against you.
Today’s pearl really blessed my heart so I want to share it with you just as it was given to me:
We know in that moving Scripture when Jesus was sharing with the disciples that He was being prepared to go through a very horrible time shortly and would be crucified on the cross, only to be risen again three days later. As He spoke, Peter’s flesh rose up and this is what he said:
Peter actually rebuked the Lord Jesus Himself, saying – “This should not be done to You.”
Scripture Reference: Mathew 16
We all know Jesus’s response was: Get behind me satan, you are an offense to me because you do not embrace the things of God, but only what benefits man.
THE PEARLS:
This is a deeper understanding, not all can receive. But it certainly is Truth taught by the Holy Spirit, Himself for those with ears to hear and a heart to receive of Him without the constraints of man’s fleshly ways of thinking which contain preconceived notions.
A pearl is given as a treasure and is to be entreated as such by the one to whom it was given. To cherish and to hold and bless those who will believe.
May the Lord Bless you in His Love,
♥Angela
The Lord tells us not to fear. “Fear not” is recorded 365 times in the Bible.
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
– Isaiah 41:10
