The
Sweet and comforting presence of Jesus be with you all,
Heartdwellers.
I had a precious time in worship today and at the very end of my time
with Jesus, I was so very filled with His joy, I could hardly contain
it. Several inspirations for songs and His portrait came to me, and I
began bubbling over.
It's been a
long, hard, three days, that's why you didn't get a message. I think
I missed two days already - as I was very sick with Fibro and my
medication didn't begin to touch the pain. So, I was in bed and
unable to even do anything other than offer that time of suffering to
the Lord for souls. Yet that is a work of mercy and though it is not
seen as any kind of accomplishment, (which is faith, 'cause you can't
get into pride!) it is the most sacrificial gift I could give.
So, I was
greatly relieved when my strength began to return and Jesus showered
these inspirations on me.
I began my
time with Him by saying, "Oh Lord, You are absolutely driving me
crazy creatively! There is so much I want to communicate about You!!"
"That's
the whole point! He said. I'm priming the little pump...is it not
written 'streams of living water will flow from within you?'"
I have to take
a deep breath, Lord, so full of love and joy am I and the longing to
communicate that to all souls. You are so wonderful, but there are no
words to communicate how deeply you love each of us individually, and
how joyful and easy it is to be in Your company. But perhaps between
a few songs and a painting or two, I can at least make a dent in it.
He replied,
"This is My joy, to see
My children finally understanding how personal My love really is. I
do not sit behind a desk with a Bible between us. I do not hide in
elaborate cathedrals. I do not confine myself to My traditional garb.
I am not in any way formal or distant from you.
"No, I
wear khakis when we explore the cliffs of Heaven, when you draw near
to Me, I rush to embrace you. I put nothing between us and forgive
you of your sins...because you are so eager to confess and repent,
they do not raise themselves up as obstacles to our nearness. There
are even times when I approach you as you repent, so that you will
know I am hearing your contrite heart and I forgive you.
"Oh,
how I want My children to understand who I AM. Yes, I am the mighty
God who spoke creation into being, and then I lowered myself and
became subject to the very same limitations you were born into. I did
this so we could be truly close and you would come to understand the
depth of My love for you as well as My character as a real, true Man.
"I
maintain purity in my dealings with all souls, but I lavish the love
of My Heart on all that are willing to receive it. So many don't get
it. I want to be their companion, I want to be always present to
them. I want to share in the adventure of this life. I want to bring
home to all of you all that I am fully God and fully man and I enjoy
the same things you enjoy.
"I
laugh at the antics of puppies and kittens playing. My heart soars
with the eagle, and is touched so tenderly by the little ducks
waddling behind their mother. Don't you know I enjoy every aspect of
My creation? I long to share that joy with you. Therefore, at least
on this channel, I am revealing My playful and adventuresome side.
Calling My Bride and all People to come and worship, yes. But then
come and romp in the beauty and variety of My Creation with Me.
"I
did not create all the beauty around you to place you in the midst of
it and then observe you as if you were an ant in an ant farm! No! I
created this beauty to enjoy with you, to explore with you, to
rejoice with you in all the varieties of My creation. These are
expressions of My Creativity and what artist doesn't want others to
be moved by their creations.
"I
love art, I love music, I love mathematics, science and all languages
- I love everything about My creation. Is it not written, "God
saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good."
(Genesis 1:31) So, I am coming to you in these last days and making
Myself approachable so that you will take My hand and take Me
everywhere you go, that I, Myself, may show you the paths of life and
walk hand in hand through its storms and joys.
"I
rejoice to be in your company. I rejoice listening to you sing. I
rejoice watching you discover the breathless beauty of My creation. I
rejoice in your thanksgiving for everything I've put into your life.
But most of all, I rejoice in your love and how you sacrifice
to bring Me to other souls who don't know who I am.
"This
is the time for a real relationship with Me, though I am your God.
This is not the time of posturing and formality. When David was out
in the fields with his sheep, then He was closest to Me and we
conversed like familiar friends. The same with Moses. We spoke not
only in the smoke and fire and lightening, but in the babbling of
water, deep into the night. Everything we saw together we shared,
even as a husband and wife share their lives with one another.
"Jonah
perceived Me in the belly of the whale (by the way, that was not a
fairytale, it truly happened.) He spoke to Me of his sin, repenting
in remorse for having evaded My mission to the Gentiles. He
recognized Me in the vine growing up to give him shade. He recognized
Me in the depth of the Whale. He recognized Me in the drawing of lots
to expose his sin. And though he was a mere man, a weak man chosen
for this mission, still we conversed with one another. We had a
relationship.
"That
is what this is all about. Relationship. There is
nothing that pleases Me more than to be recognized for who I am and
trusted that My love for you does not stop Me from being
approachable. When you learn of My true nature and cultivate this
friendship, you begin to reflect Me to others and they, too, begin to
hunger for an intimate relationship with Me. They feel peace and
comfort in My presence, rather than fear causing them to shake and
cower. This is the lot of My Beloved ones, those who from the heart
want to live a holy life.
"The
wicked tremble, as well they should, because their hearts conceive
only of evil and destruction of all that is good. But for you, who
are My precious ones, wherever you are in your journey, I am all
loving, receiving, and nurturing.
AND FOR
THOSE WHO HAVE CHOSEN WICKEDNESS AS A STYLE OF LIFE, I WILL FORGIVE
YOU IF YOU REPENT.
"Yes,
there are times for worship when you lift your hearts to Me. It seems
more formal as you worship Me as your God. But other times, I want to
be as approachable and easy to be with as a real companion on Earth.
I promise you, that if you begin to presume or act in pride, I will
swiftly correct you and help you restore your footing. I care enough
to correct and sometimes be distant that you don't grow complacent.
But this only done when it is necessary. The rest of the time, I am
Jesus. Your Jesus. Your friend and lover. The one who knows all your
ways, when you sit and when you stand. And I long to take an active
part in sharing your life with you.
"So,
I speak all these things now, because you are working on portrayals
of Me, Clare. A painting, a song, and My greatest desire for you is
for you to reveal to the world that I am a caring and loving friend
that longs to be with them day and night, in every season. I want to
love, hold and cherish them as they live every moment of their lives.
"
I bless you now, to go forward in complete awareness that I am with
you. And that I want to be a part of everything you do."
