“ There is so much for people to do but they have encased themselves in their comfort zones. They live where they feel drawn to live. They choose everything to their liking. And this is why so many are lost,and  lonely, lukewarm,  walking down the road with no real destination  other than  the status quo living for the pleasures of the flesh. The enemy uses the flesh to encase a soul, and their likes and dislikes: where to live, what work to do, how to dress, how to eat, how to be secure; but I say you must live like a sparrow to be free, live for the Spirit and follow My will for your life. You have only  look around you to see the frustration and unhappiness of those who live to the comfort of their bodies.

Something is dead inside, the spark of life is gone, Buried under layer after layer of likes and dislikes according to the flesh. Life is an adventure, full of new experiences when  one lives it for Me.” - Jesus

An excerpt and a transcription of the Lord's message on Dying to yourself

Jesus:   Dying to yourself, this is a concept that is not much sought of these days, and yet did I not say that unless a grain of wheat  falls to the earth and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies it bears much fruit. He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal. (John 12)

 There is so much for people to do but they have encased themselves in their comfort zones. They live where they feel drawn to live. They choose everything to their liking. And this is why so many are lost,and  lonely, lukewarm,  walking down the road with no real destination  other than  the status quo living for the pleasures of the flesh. The enemy uses the flesh to encase a soul, and their likes and dislikes: where to live, what work to do, how to dress, how to eat, how to be secure; but I say you must live like the sparrow to be free, live for the Spirit and follow My will for your life. You have only  look around you to see the frustration and unhappiness of those who live to the comfort of their bodies.

Something is dead inside, the spark of life is gone, Buried under layer after layer of likes and dislikes according to the flesh. Life is an adventure, full of new experiences when  one lives it for Me.

Clare: Gee, Lord it sounds like you're getting new movers.

Jesus: No, not yet. You know the move I have in mind  for you.

Clare: Yes, and I know the struggles I have day after day.And again especially today after that very event.

Jesus: Yes,you are living through Me, Clare. You did not choose where you live, I did and you obeyed. You've been offered other alternatives, and each time you've chosen one I wanted. This is why you're alive inside. Had you lived for yourself, well you don't want to know.

Clare: Nursing home?

Jesus: Perhaps, but most definitely, you would feel lost.

My children, when you live to yourself, you frustrate My plan for your life. You limit what I wanted to do with you. The place you live in is extremely important to My agenda for your life. You have no way at all of knowing what a certain move will bring. You  only look at the shallow externals: the climate, the job opportunities, your relatives, the culture, the appearance of the place. But I look at it to see if it's fit for you spiritually. Is it a place you need to be in to grow, to reach out to others, to have opportunities, to grow spiritually, to touch lives, a place that truly fits My plan for your life.

Clare: Lord, I know I'm always shocked when people say they're going to live somewhere because they like the climate. I used to do that and I was so lost but somehow you brought good out of it.

Jesus: Yes, and I can use every circumstance and opportunity to grow. But I prefer to put you where I know  you'll mature and advance the quickest. For this to happen, I need you to be detached from your own likes and dislikes.

Clare:I want to share with you all, me, when on a tour bus with our four children, the Lord had us in Iowa in the dead winter, the absolute dead of winter, 15 below in the middle of Iowa and then when He moved us on, it was Florida, in the worst heat of the summer, you surely put our plight to the test. 
 

Jesus: This is what I need in My vessel to honor, flexibility and a willingness to go where I lead when I lead. There's so much richness in a life that's lived in a Spirit and so much sediment in life lived for the flesh. 
 

My children, I have such wonderful things for you to do. But your obstinacy in choosing your location ties My hands. There are connections waiting to be made, a broadening of your horizons at deepening of your understanding. If only you would come under the yoke of obedience. There's no reason why a person has to be tied to a house, a piece of land, a city, a country. The world is an exciting place with many opportunities, for those who are willing to live for the Spirit alone and go where I send them.

Clare: Lord, I know I failed you out of fear of a new endeavor, and still to this day regret not going to use with the mission in Holland.

Jesus: Yes, but it came around again, didn't it. I did work around with your life, and  you  are where I want you to be  present, but so many derail the plans I have for their lives, by holding on to the past and what is familiar and comfortable (Clare: And I thought of the scripture, Jeremiah 29:11 "For  I know the plans that  I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.]

 But will you trust Me. Will you acknowledge that I am God and there is none other. My plans are far superior to your plans, will you acknowledge that nothing is impossible for Me, that you can trust Me with your life.You must come to terms with these issues if you were to live to fullness of the life I have called you to.

Clare: Gee Lord, it sounds like we're gonna be around for a long time.

Jesus: This is for those who will come after you Clare, and for  those who are listening now and feel a tug in their hearts to do something totally different with their lives.

I have sat here  from My perspective in heaven and seen the possibilities for My children on earth. I have seen all the places that would have suited them so perfectly, but these places never even entered their mind, nor did they seek Me to find out  where I wanted them. I have given you life, straight and a purpose, hope and a drive to move onward. Please do not ignore Me. Make it your top priority to seek Me until you find Me and know for sure where I want you. Hold in abeyance all your plans and dreams and seek Me until you find Me and know without a doubt where I'm calling you to go. You will never regret It. Pay attention to that restlessness that doesn't quite feel right with this plan or that plan, that's My Spirit intervening and holding you back because I have something better for you with better timing.

You see when you come to serve Me, your life is no longer your own. Most people however try to run their new life with Me on two tracks, what they want and what I want within the context  of what they really want. Rather than totally abandoning their will and their way to Me, they compromise and then expect to be happy and fulfilled, but it will never happen until they totally abandon their agenda. Some are still catering  to their earthly parents' expectations, some have their eyes on their career goal and prosperity and within that context they choose what they think is My will. But they are so far from the truth, that they would be shocked if I revealed it to them. Yet I know the course  they are holding on to for dear life will lead them into mediocrity and unhappiness. I can only wait until they discover, that's not what they wanted after all. And sadly by then, more than half of their life is spent and sickness has found its way into their bodies. I am just saying this for your own good children. Choose Me and My will with uncompromising faith and clarity. Seek Me and wait on Me, lay down your agendas, let your earthly parents lead their own lives but you follow Me. Many are confused about what it means to honor and obey your mother and father. It does not mean to let them take My place in your life and let them dictate what your life should be. Honor  them in their old age. Help as you can, celebrate their birthdays with them, treat them with respect and reverence in all your dealings, but never give them the helm. This is meant for Me and Me alone. Is it not written anyone who loves their father and mother more than ME is not worthy of Me.

Clare: And the Lord quickened to church, the Laodicean, to me, this was the lukewarm church. And I believe the church who live by their comforts, and the status quo until the interior fire in their soul just fizzled out. So I quoted that scripture, and the Lord picked up afterwards. But the scripture says: “You say I am rich and I become  wealthy and need of nothing and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked. I advise you to buy from Me. Gold refined by the fire so that you may  become rich in white garment so that you may clothe yourself and that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed and I  anoint your eyes so that you may see those whom I love I reprove and discipline. Therefore, be zealous and live your life for Me and Me alone.

I bless you now with the courage to deny yourself, pick up your cross and follow Me.
