The Power of Communion Well Received

 

September 24, 2016

May the blessing and true meaning of communion be given to all of us.

My dear ones, there are some among you who are from liturgical churches and as I have stated before, very clearly, you should continue to receive communion as you always have.

This teaching is for non-liturgical believers in Jesus. There's going to be a time in the future when there will be no way to receive communion in a church any longer, during the reign of the AntiChrist, when all churches will be censored.

It is the Lord's heart that you should still draw near to Him in communion daily, and although it is not identical with the liturgical churches, communion still has much rich meaning and graces when received with the right heart. He has promised that for you who are not in the liturgical churches, and no longer have any way to receive communion in your church - He still wants to make a provision for you. He will bless this practice with graces that cannot be measured and that He will strengthen you for the journey.

I am not here to argue with anyone on the meaning of communion. This is not a channel that discusses doctrine. I am merely giving you the Lord's own words about at least having your own time of intimate communion with Him if you do not wish to associate with liturgical churches.

The Lord began, "My People, you must come to communion expecting to receive all of Me. I have given Myself to you under the appearance of bread and wine, but with spiritual eyes you must unmask all the possibilities the sacrament contains.

"I did not give you just a little particle. I didn't just give you My Mind and not My Body and vitality. I suffered all those things because I gave you My all. Therefore, you can expect to have My all when you receive Me in communion. If you come expecting little, only a little you will receive. If you come expecting everything I am and have, I will give all that is necessary to you right now in your life. There will not be an overabundance in you, but a perfect balance, if you come expecting all of Me.

"You see, there is no such thing as just a little of Me. The tiniest bit contains the entire Trinity and all that comes with the power of God. You do not receive all I can impart to you because you do not expect it, and you are not asking for it, so I am limited by your lack of faith in what I can impart to you, that will be active in your soul.

"The fact that you receive the tiniest part of Me means all is given but only a very little bit will be used. The rest is dissipated by your limited perceptions, yet there is much imbedded in you like a seed that grows into maturity when it is needed. That is why I am teaching you this. I have so much more to give you in communion. So much more. But you must prepare yourself worthily to receive it. 
 
"I very much approve of the service James wrote in Jerusalem. Never mind which apostate churches use a similar form, please ignore the bath water and keep the baby."
 
Jesus continued, "When he wrote this, it was under the inspiration of My Spirit, and the whole progression of the service was to prepare your hearts to receive Me."

I don't have all the facts on this, but I just want to say that - in that day and time, it was the ordained ministers, the ones who'd had hands laid on them by the apostles, that actually celebrated the service of St. James. And these are our roots, our Christian roots, back to Jerusalem in the middle of the 1st century. These traditions and ordinations have been carried out throughout all time, and are still alive now in certain churches.

But the great problem is that some of these churches are apostate, and no longer believe as the early Christians did. Nonetheless, this service IS beautiful for preparing your heart to receive Jesus.

The Lord continued, "I am not saying you must do all of this religiously, not at all. But I am asking you to capture the progression he laid out, because with it you will be well prepared to receive Me and all I have for you in communion.

"This is a solemn service, dear ones. It is the memorial of my Passion, which so few wish to commemorate. What a shame that you shy away from these memories." 
 

Oh, Lord, forgive me. It is so painful to recall your passion, it makes my heart sick.

"Nevertheless it reminds you of what I suffered for your sins, Clare, and it prepares you to be courageous in facing the trials of your day. Behind that veil of sorrow is limitless joy. You must penetrate that veil into the heart of your God and see the great wonder and joy that was released as I redeemed you out of the slavery of sin and death. 
 
"Once you glimpse the joy of My Father's Heart and Mine as well, once you see - truly see and touch that - it will illuminate your being with divine love and make it so much easier for you to be charitable with the faults and shortcomings of others. In fact, your own character will be illuminated so well to you, that you dare not lift your head above others, ever.

"I do not say this to shame you, only to keep you in the last place where you have begged Me to keep you. Seeing how I suffered is sobering for you and acts also as an admonition to never complain. Never. And we are having a problem with that, aren't we?"

Yes, Lord, forgive me. I am so sorry. I have so much to be grateful for. This pain makes me impatient and kind of crabby. Hopefully, I'll have the grace not to spill over on others with that attitude, but there are a few items that provoke me...little things...and bad habits from my past that spring up through my frustrations.

Jesus continued, "Nothing is little when you consider how much I suffered to give you peace and secure a place in Heaven for you. All these little things you grow so impatient with, including the pain, all of them are being used for others. Even as Simon's contribution brought forth much fruit. Though he was not God, he aided Me in My hour of need as I was setting the captives free. And as such, he partakes in the work of the cross as well. 
 
"Oh, the Divine economy leaves not one pain fall to the ground without taking root and producing its own fruit, and excludes no one from contributing. And this was to prepare the way for you, My Darling Brides. So that you, too, could have a share in My sufferings, even as they are intensified right now for the whole Earth. 
 
"You all will be facing many trials, but if you cleave to Me you will have nothing to fear. 
 
"And again returning to the service James wrote. And he did indeed write it. There was not another author other than My Spirit. You can see from the tenor of his writings that he was given to serious contemplation of those things that are most offending and render a man impure. He was acutely aware of the disparity between man's idea of holiness and My idea of holiness and for this reason left many expressions of Mercy in the service.

"But moving on, there is a difference between who has the service, in the sense that some are more holy, pure and reverent than others. Those who live their lives totally in My service, caring nothing for the laurels or accolades of the world. Those who spend substantial time in prayer for others and worship. Those who read My Word and study to show themselves approved. Those who give whole-hearted service without condemnation and judgment to the poor. Those who do these things as a way of life, bring more blessings and favor from My Father into a communion service."

And again I want to stress that this teaching is for the NON-liturgical churches. It is for people who do not, and cannot be a part of a liturgical church.

Jesus continued, "Nonetheless, the service carries great blessings, and it is My desire that you get the very most out of it. As I have shared with you before, confession of sin, and I don't mean a quickie pass-over but a good look and true contrition for offending Me, as a daily practice. Reading from the Old Testament, New Testament, the Psalms, and the Gospels, prepares your hearts for action and gives you the continuity between the old and new covenants. Well rounded, and much to consider. 
 
"And I do approve of relinquishing control to My Spirit in choosing the readings, although you will see that I also find ways to highlight things if you follow the chronology of readings. Do as you are led by My Spirit.

"But please, come to Me with contrition, expecting that I will forgive and nourish you on this bread of life. I give you all that I am My Bride. Receive Me with great reverence, expecting miracles of grace to be given you."

Be Vigilant in Taking Care of Your Spiritual Life!

  
Stay on guard over your interior life, be vigilant in discerning every thought, inspiration, desire that comes to mind. One struggle that I run into in my journey is the desire to affirm my thought when I was having what I thought was a good day spiritually when I felt I was doing enough and everything was seemingly going well. Allow me to warn you that this a very dangerous mind set to ever embrace for that mind set, if ever held onto from one to the next, will cause to become complacent and spiritually stagnant. For the enemy will offer us feelings in the moment when we think we are following the true spirit well when in reality we can always do better. So, we must always carry the attitude that we are not doing enough because as soon as we say to ourselves that we are doing good, the enemy then seizes the opportunity to feed his pride, self-righteous and just a whole mess of other problems.

As we know, there are no plateaus in the spiritual life. And if you are not continuously striving to do more, and to give more to your Creator by actively following His inspirations in every moment, then you are in fact sliding down the Lord's Holy Mountain. 
 
The spiritual life is not a game of chutes and ladders that you want to play with your soul. You need to give 100% effort, 100% of the time so that you can walk into the physical era of peace and be able to stand before the Son of man when He comes to walk the face of the earth again.


You might be wondering, how do I keep the momentum of roaming? How do I constantly give 100%? Think about how Jesus has given you with His 100% effort and how He gives His all so that His remnant can live in true peace with awakened conscience and how much more has He done for you. 
 
You see, we are all in debt to our Creator for the sins we have all committed against Him. So, we must show Him our gratitude by always seeking to do His will in a moment and striving to pass His test and overcome temptations when they come. So, what better way to do all of this but by staying in prayer always and being vigilant and caring for and maintaining our spiritual lives. That is our interior lives at all times following the true Holy Spirit of the moment storming all of heaven for help throughout the day in order to remain spiritually focused. So that when temptations do come, you're able to recognize them and reject them quicker.

It is important to remember that the enemy never sleeps, and you reject an evil spirit and ask for a specific grace, the enemy can come back and tempt you with it again, and if you are not actively fighting temptations as they come because you say to yourself you already rejected it, then what is that telling your Creator? That you will give up under pressure? You see, that is cowardice. We are in a battle for our souls, so we must fight for our lives, and prove to our Creator that we want to live and be with Him for eternity.

As Jesus has said in November 2015, the testimony archives, “The whole world is in the power of the evil one. So the only souls left for the devil and his angels to take on are the souls of My faithful remnant, So, My faithful remnant must be ever vigilant in turning to Me and to St. Michael and to their guardian angel at each moment of temptation, Though they are tempted, they do not have to fall for the devil's tricks because I always provide the narrow path through the valley of the shadow of death. I always provide a way out of the temptation, a way to overcome so My Faithful Remnant are stronger the next time the enemy approaches. How is it just, just My Faithful Remnant be tested and tried and be tempted? Even the angels were tested because I am just and even I was tempted by the devil himself and My Father allowed this to happen because He is just. And so, there is absolutely no excuse to fall into serious sin . There is no excuse to abandon the state of grace. My Faithful Remnants are called to overcome the world by living in abiding with Me, otherwise, the world will overcome them.”

So, fight for your life, fight to stay on board the large Ark of safety. Fight to be pure and spotless before your Creator and strive to please Him to do more and to give more to His kingdom with King Jesus and that strength that He gives us when to turn to Him for help, all is possible. So, there is no excuse, and if you ever find yourself being afflicted even after rejecting the demons associated with the affliction or temptation. It is important to remember to reject the desire to be tormented by evil spirits and ask for the grace to be vigilant and reject them as they surface. Oddly enough there is a desire that you may have to tolerate afflictions in yourself. You may even be desiring to entertain the temptations of the enemy. So, reject that the desire and ask for the grace to reject temptations immediately and ask for the grace to turn to Jesus for strength always, and to turn to something else more edifying for your soul in those moments. 
 
Remember we must always be doers of the word and not just hearers and sayers only. So, make the necessary resolutions every time you slip in any way and to do better the next time because we can always do better. In order to combat the desire to embrace self-affirming thoughts, it is important to examine your conscience regularly and resolve to be perfectly honest with yourself and where you stand before your Creator at all times so that you can get to the source of any affliction no matter how uncomfortable it may turn out to be. For truly, if you are seeking to affirm yourself when you do something right or seeking to be affirmed by your brothers and sisters and demand it, then you are not going to be as receptive to internal correction and the uncomfortable truth when it is given to you as much as you should be. Your focus needs to be purifying as quickly as possible not on getting a pat on the back for doing a good job. 
 
We all need to seek to please our Creator and Him only. So, we all must be vigilant and turning to the true Holy Spirit of the moment and seeking to do more for our Creator. And not only turn to Him when we need help and deliverance, but sincerely strive to do more for Him throughout the day. What more will Jesus do for you if you are not seeking to do more for Him and if you are not showing Him that you are willing to give 100% effort to your purification. 
 
So, if you want to be filled with more blessings, gifts and graces, and be purified, then strive to remain in prayer always and do not take the back seat in your interior life. Do not allow the demons to drive your thoughts, inspirations and desires. The enemy of souls want you to fall asleep spiritually so that he can steer you right off the cliff. So, resolve to stay awake spiritually and dialed into the true Holy Spirit of the moment in each and every moment.

If you actively desire to do the will of the Most High True God and living your true vocation as His son or daughter, then you will do what it takes in each and every moment to be pleasing to Him to pass all this test and to bearing good fruit. 
 
So, may the Most High True God bless the viewers of this video with the grace to desire to give 100% effort to your ongoing purification and the grace to be vigilant in caring for and maintaining your spiritual life in each and every moment. Amen.

They Will All Be Taught By God

  


September 22, 2016
The Lord bless you, dear Heartdwellers.

The Lord had an interesting lesson today. He began immediately when I came to sit down and listen for the message.

He said, "I want to talk with you about obedience. My Children, My Bride, what good does it do you to hear My words, knowing My intentions for you and then not obeying? It is not of any benefit to you but is most surely a detriment. It is damaging to know the will of God which in itself is one GREAT grace and then not follow through with it. 
 
"This channel is like a classroom. A great classroom. Each day I bring you a fresh lesson for you are in the school of holiness. The whole curriculum is tailored to prepare you for the day I take you to Myself. All the angels in your life are working in cooperation with My Spirit and arranging your lessons for the day. That is why you so often find yourselves getting the answer you asked Me for on this channel. You are in a great classroom, and I am your teacher. Clare is but a secretary passing on My message. Yet she has My heart on many things, not just the message of the day.

"So in a classroom, you come to be taught and you do your assignments so you can pass your tests and get an A, as well as graduating with honors. Yes, this is an honor class for those who have chosen to give Me their all. If you do your homework, you will pass in flying colors. So, I am asking you, My Children, to pay close attention to what I tell you in these lessons and do your homework. Follow these instructions. 
 
"By the way, when I talk about obedience, you are never required to do anything against your conscience or your faith, to be obedient. There are times when you cannot obey those in your lives who you normally would. For instance, normally you would obey the custom's rules when you are entering a country, but if Bibles are illegal, you are not required to obey the laws of men. You are fully in your rights to smuggle them in, for this is your obedience to Me.

"If your spouse tries to interfere with your faith and you've done everything in your power to appease them, but they are still striking at the heart of your faith, you are not required to obey. Even as the Scriptures say, "Wives obey your husbands, Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord." Ephesians 5 In another instance, there are some among you who have been called to prepare a refuge for the times ahead, so for you, these lessons about not preparing do not apply.

"But getting back to the point at hand. I only ask you to do or not to do something because it will result in good fruit in your life. You dwell in the vine...but if you cast away the vine to find another dwelling, you will not bring forth good fruit.

"I am the vine and you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing." John 15:5
"So, when I bring you these directives it is because I know they will result in good fruit in your lives."

And at that point, I was just aching to say something. I said: Lord, may I say something?

He replied, "Go ahead."

Heartdwellers, I have to tell you, I am merely doing my little part in bringing to you what the Lord puts on my heart. If He does not tell me about some event, I do not know anything about it. There may be warning spread far and wide over the Internet about this or that...asteroids, comets, earthquakes, tsunami's. But if He does not bring that to me, I have no knowledge beyond what He has given me, and I have learned to trust His judgment on what to give and what to withhold.

He is working with Heartdwellers in a certain way. He has things in mind for us, goals He wishes for us to accomplish. This is His will for this channel. He has anointed other channels for other things and each has a part in these end times, to prepare the Bride and His people. Some souls are here because God sent them; others are in other places where God has placed them. This channel is very focused in a peculiar way for those He sent here.

So, I must stick to His agenda for you. I cannot follow this one and that one and try to discern if what they are saying is true. I have no ability to do that and it's not my mandate. So, if events occur that He has NOT told me of, it is for a good reason that I was not told. Or if someone brings me a word they believe should be shared on this channel and it doesn't pass my discernment, I will not share it. I can be fallible, of course!!! But I must be obedient to the known will of God and He's made His lessons so clear to me, I will not depart from them.

Jesus continued, "Clare, there is no reason for you to apologize, you are doing as I have asked. In all things I am leading you My way. And what I do not tell you, you have no knowledge of, and that is as it should be.

"And for all of you, My Dear ones, test the spirits and see if they be of God. When you peruse channels for the latest, see how much time you gave to that practice. Note how you feel at the end: are you satisfied, frustrated or disappointed? Confused? Are they actions that you're going to take next, motivated by fear, by love, by peace? All these things should be examined very closely, to see what the source is of what you listen to, lest you be led astray. Does it contradict your current direction in your life? Or does it support it? Do you feel like you've lost Me somewhere along the line and you're supposed to be going in a totally different direction? Or do you have peace? Because the enemy will use these things to cause severe confusion and to stop what you're doing, if it's anointed. These are all things you should examine very closely and know that the devil will continually try to divert your attention from your anointing and your calling. So be on the lookout for that. And measure everything you do to make sure that it's consistent with what you KNOW I've told you to do in your heart. Judge the fruit and make a decision based on that. This is how I have taught you and it applies here as well.

"I love you, My dear ones. I withhold no good thing from you. I have a purpose for your life, and it pleases Me greatly when you follow the course I have laid out for you. How will you know this? By the fruit, of course."

And that was the end of His message.

Well, I wanted to share something very interesting with you. As I was giving you this message, Ezekiel overheard it and he was having his communion service. He opened to Acts 20:28. And this is what it had to say:

"Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them. So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day. Acts 20:28-31"

I thought that was very interesting, because I know that these two messages are going to be contested by some people. And I understand why. But I just have to be obedient. You are the ones that must discern what is from God and what is not.

And I have an update for you. The Lord has stated clearly how my day should begin and what comes first. I've been doing that for three days now. I must say, the fruit is beyond what I expected and I am deeply satisfied with what I accomplish each day. The sink is full of dishes and the floors need sweeping...and I have planned time for that later. But I know my day is ordered by the Lord and I can't describe to you the great peace that has resulted from my obedience.

May He order your days as well.

The Lord bless you all, dear Heartdwellers. And thank you for your prayers and support. We so appreciate you being on our Channel.

Whisperings and Forebodings of Disaster

  

September 21, 2016

Precious Heartdwellers, may the Peace of Jesus which passes all understanding keep your hearts stayed on Him and your faithful assignments from Him. Remembering that unless the Lord guards the house...those who guard it, do so in vain.

The Lord began, "I want to talk about whisperings. Things that do not bode well - but evil. One of the reasons you have been instructed not to peruse the Internet news and alternative news sites is because they are being used to disturb people's peace. It creates a rush to cover oneself and survive what is supposedly coming. There are many people who profit financially from this. It is the worst kind of treachery inside the Christian prophetic community. Authentic prophets do not inspire you to go out and buy, they inspire you to seek Me and come into My peace, My instruction. 
 
"Over half the things that are told to you on the Internet will NEVER happen. And when the other half does, you will not be here. There is a small segment of humanity, the remnant, that I am preparing for these times. But for the most part, preparations for the disasters that will occur, especially political, that are being made by the general population, will do them no good at all. There will be rioting and looting and if you have something - it will be taken from you, either by the government or desperate people. 
 
"I do not say this to scare you, but to get your priorities straight. Unless the Lord guards the house he who guards it does so in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain. (Ps. 127:1 NIV) 

"My daughter, there are many among your listeners who are still perusing the daily hype about what's coming and when. They are missing the point. Their attention is on self-preservation and fear. I would have them reaching out to others in ministry, not fear mongering. I am very unhappy with this behavior. I have told you all numerous times, I will watch over you and protect you if you are about My business.

"I would almost like to say, 'But if you're busy about your own protection, I won't interfere.' But then there is My mercy. I have gone through great pains to keep this group on track. What I give to you here is grain directly from My hand, not from the grain merchants - the ones who are spreading terror and fear.

"I abhor this practice. Can I say it any stronger? I hate, hate, hate false reports that spread fear. I love, love, love, those who ignore all of that and stay busy about My mission for their life. I will bless them over and over again and should they be caught in a conflagration, I will Myself be their deliverance. I will be faithful to them, because they were faithful to Me.

"Do you understand this, Clare? I am your one and only protection. Those who have chosen to protect themselves... well, I won't interfere. Let them do as they please. While all around them are souls that needed to be ministered to, they are busy gathering the latest hype and passing it on to others.

"Look at how many false alarms have been sounded since you've been on the Internet. Thousands, I tell you, thousands. And which ones have come to pass??? Not even one. Don't you see? You who are mesmerized by these 'supposed prophecies' - you are being played by the devils. You didn't obey Me and stay away from these false reports and now you are dying the thousand deaths of the coward while My faithful ones are rejoicing in the souls they are bringing to salvation.

"I ask you My children, who should I protect? The ones that are fear mongering? Or the ones that are oblivious and busy about ministry?

"So there you have it. If you could see who is really behind this, and their real motives, you would be shocked - totally shocked. Not that the ones who broadcast this stuff are concocting it, rather they are repeating what others have concocted to steer the gullible sheep all over the world.

"Yes, we are in the end times. Yes, there are things on the way. Yes, I will give you prayer burdens to change the course of history.

"BUT. I DON'T CARE WHAT ANY MAN SEES IN HIS TELESCOPE...I AM STILL GOD. I AM STILL GOD. I AM STILL GOD.

"So, even the most astute prognosticators and scientists may see what is, but they do not see Who I AM. They do not see WHAT I DO. They only see the hard evidence...not the One who created it and what He will allow and what He will not allow.

"WAKE UP, MY PEOPLE, PRODUCE FRUITS OF REPENTANCE, WORTHY OF BEING SAVED ON THAT DAY. You're chasing your tails people. You are wasting precious moments of time that has been granted to you for other souls. You will look back on what you did in your life and be distraught when you see the opportunities you passed for ministry, to the hurting and lost souls all around you, because you were so busy seeking the latest news on the latest comet.

"What else can I say to you, My Children? Please, stop this behavior and get busy with the lost. I am not fooling with you. I am dead serious. You are putting yourselves in harm's way by ignoring the real needs of My Kingdom. Ones that I send you daily. When the time comes for the worst humanity has ever seen I, Myself, will deliver you if you yourself are relying on Me and Me alone, and have put your attention on the souls I send you. I, Myself, will guard you."

Oh, Lord, this is such a strong message.

He replied, "Good. I wanted to get the point across. I hope it sinks in. I am anointing it to produce repentance for the selfish way My people are behaving.

"Not too long ago you were in this group, but you repented and changed your ways. You may remain oblivious to it all: though you live in an adobe house, though you have threatening situations.

"I AM your God and you are living for Me now...and My angels have been assigned. You may rest in assurance, Clare, you have nothing to fear.

"And for those of you who are following this example, you also have nothing to fear."

How We Miss Our Breakthroughs

 

 

September 21, 2016

Well, dearest family, I realize now that I have been missing the greatest opportunities to breakthrough to my higher calling. I've been wading through the muck of a swamp to get to the pristine waters, and it's always a wearying, long journey, by the way I've gone about it.

The good news is that the Lord is clarifying this for us, and if we obey and are consistent and diligent, we are going to see marvelous changes in our productivity for the Kingdom of Heaven each day. That includes with our family, as well.

Many of you don't need this lesson. Many of you've got it right. But I needed this lesson.

It all began when Ezekiel was under attack again, with yet another, strange malady that we couldn't diagnose. We had no idea what it was! We just knew that the Lord was allowing it as a correction, because we got God's Correction in the Bible Promise Book. And He's always faithful to show us that.

Anyway, the subject of pride came up. And I realized that somehow, we had opened the doors to Pride, and I soon found out that pride was the culprit for both of us. Ezekiel recognized his sin, but I couldn't see mine. Oh, I knew it was there, alright. I know I've got a lot of pride, and it surfaces when I lose my temper or get angry. I realize that that's complaining against God, because He allows these circumstances. And I know I've got lots of pride. I didn't know what manifestation of my pride the Lord was trying to draw my attention to.

"Create in me a clean heart, oh Lord. Let me be like you in all my ways." I kept singing that over and over again, really feeling conviction, but not being able to identify its source.

I came into prayer asking Him: Lord, I just don't understand what you mean by 'pride'? I'm blind to it just doesn't make sense. Please reveal it to me.

I realized it must be serious, because I don't see it and I think whenever pride is the worst it's invisible to us. I was a little confused and hurt, and I didn't understand.

I had a communion service, and after I received the Lord, I saw His face before me and He held my face tenderly in His hands. I was thinking of all the times when I didn't obey Him, when I had an inkling that He wanted something but I didn't obey. And I didn't ask, because I didn't want to be told 'no'. I began repenting and feeling very badly, seeing clearly that that was at least one area of pride.

As I listened for His voice, I could not believe the words that were coming from His mouth, "You honor Me with your lips, but where is your heart? You put other things before Me, Clare. Every morning I wait for you, yet there is always something more important that comes first.


"This, I want to stop. You said it yourself: watch what a person does with their time and you will see where their heart is."

This was so amazing to me, because I had noticed, when I was cleaning house and trying to get everything ship-shape so I could get into prayer - that very admonition came back to me. And it was in my mind. I thought at the time, 'Uh oh. I am not living what I'm teaching. This is NOT good.'

And the vision I'm about to relate to you also came to mind.

After He said that, I remembered the vision He gave me about how I made Him wait. He showed me a ship coming into port with the great King to see His bride - who, of course, was supposed to meet Him there. But she got restless and went shopping, looking for a new outfit. In the meantime, He came and she wasn't there.

I was that Bride. I couldn't believe I could be so disrespectful, but I realize now that I have been putting other things first - reasoning that if I get everything out of the way, I can really spend time with the Lord. But that's a deception, because you never get everything out of the way; there's always something else that demands time. And anyway, by that time, you're very tired and not your best. I realized the messages have suffered, my prayer life has suffered, the painting suffered, my music, especially, has suffered because I was so caught up in the Martha, Martha run-around. I truly was putting the world first.

Jesus continued, "I want to be first, first, first in your life. After bodily functions like the bathroom, a fire and something simple to eat. Then Me. Not the dog, not this one or that one, or checking emails."

Lord, what about serving my husband? You have always taught me to honor his needs, even when it is inconvenient.

"He, too, can wait. I want to be first, before your husband, before your dog, before anything but the direst necessity."

And I had been taking my puppy out in the morning, because he was restless. But I can see now that he can wait. He has a free access to going outside, so that's not the issue. It's more an issue of he wants to play.

The Lord continued, "I promise you, if you put Me first, you will see a real turn around with music and messages and art. Everything will then fall into order and you won't be chasing your tail all day, trying to get it all done before you can do what I considered the most important thing.

"Your house comes LAST. Floors, dishes, you name it - it comes absolutely last. Not first, Clare, not first. If you honor Me in this way, I promise you, everything else will fall into place. Ministry, painting, music... oh, my what a turn around for you! This is where your headstrong pride becomes most evident. Do away with this and I will indeed be a very happy Jesus."

Lord, am I to teach this to people with little children and responsibilities?

"Yes, of course. And you know how to manage that. You did it with My help for all those years you were a single mother." 
 

Gosh, I've been feeling like I needed to make this change for a long time, but I just couldn't seem to do it. One huge issue was getting up late in the morning, because I would work until 6 am. When I got up at 2 pm things were clamoring for my attention. People at the door, communicating with helpers who had normal hours, etc. etc. But now my hours are a little more sane and it could easily work. At least the first four hours devoted to prayer, the message and music.

The Lord went on, "You've been blocked and blinded - but again, it's your materialistic side that wants everything in order. That's why I gave you the money-changers in the Temple for a Scripture reading. You've been living for the externals and that's why you are majorly frustrated and disappointed with the most important tasks."

Lord, what about playing the flute?

"I want you to practice your flutes, it is good for your soul and your breathing. But certainly no more than an hour a day. 45 minutes is best. It really will improve your breathing and singing.


"And this IS Me, Clare."

And as an aside, someone sent me a flute in the mail. By the way, thank you, whoever you were - that was very much a gift from Holy Spirit. It was nice! But I also sought permission from the Lord to get a penny-whistle and an Egyptian flute, because the sounds were something I wanted to use in my music. We discerned it was the Lord and bought them from Erick the Flute maker. They are absolutely marvelous instruments made from bamboo, the one is - the Egyptian and the penny-whistle is from wood.

But you know how it is when you get something special; you get permission and you think it's okay, and then the devils start pounding you with false guilt, telling you that you should have given the money to the poor. So, there was always this false guilt in the back of my mind, and I thought, 'What if we didn't discern right?'

The Lord addressed that. He said, "Stop ducking your head, I gave you those flutes. This is Me."

Oh, boy... That was the end of the false guilt!

And I've kind of been thinking I should do the full communion service with Scripture readings from the Psalms, the New Testament, the Old Testament. You know, kind of a well-rounded communion service. And I found a missal that I use, it's very nice. It's a Sunday missal from one of the liturgical churches, and it really helps. It puts all the readings together by subject. So I've been using that for my communion service.

So I asked Him: What about a full communion service with all the Scripture readings and prayers?

He answered, "Every day. You are a leader, a mother. You have children you must cover in prayer. When you lift them up to Me in the communion service, I cover them with My blood, My kisses, My protection, My concern for their daily needs. THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO THAT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE COMMUNION SERVICE.


"This is Me! There's nothing you can do. I don't care how you feel, it is your obedience that I will bless. REMEMBER: EVEN A COMMUNION SERVICE POORLY SAID WILL STILL BRING FORTH FRUIT. I MEANT THAT. Yet none of your services need to be poorly done."


He lifted my chin, "Clare, this is Me, all of this is Me. I mean it. Me first, a communion service with readings and prayers, then the world and its doings. Please...this must be."

Yes, Lord, with your help, yes!! I'm sorry doesn't get it, nevertheless, I am very sorry.

"I forgive you, spouse of My Heart. I forgive you. Now you will see things turning around. This has been a major issue out of place. Now that you've repented we can go forward."

Do you want me to teach this, Lord?

"Yes, of course! What do you think? You've been majoring on minors. Now you will be majoring on majors. You're not the only one. Don't you think this is something important to pass on?"

I do, Lord.

The fog started to clear from my head and everything became clear and made sense again.

Jesus said, "See, already you are feeling better. It was also bad for your health, because you were under constant pressure to get 'all' these things done in order to have time with Me."

Lord, just as a sign to me that this is truly You and not a demon, could you please take this fibro pain way back to a three?

"We'll see. How badly do you want your husband to be up and around?"

Oh Lord, You know the answer to that.

"Then be satisfied with a four. Right now, you're at a five heading towards a six. If I reduce it to four, then he will also have what he needs to be able to get up and work."

OK.

He held me tightly to His heart. "Oh Clare, know that I love you so very deeply and I need your cooperation in these matters. That is why I am bringing them forth to you for resolution. We don't have time for this...you've been missing substantial breakthroughs, because of your priorities. And you knew better. So, what happened? You put the world first, very simply. And now you are going to shove it back where it belongs, the last of the last of the last thing of the day."

And that was the end of His message.

Well, Heartdwellers, I cannot possibly stress to you the importance of what He is saying. And by the way, my fibro pain went way back to a "4". Ezekiel got up and just lit into his music and had a wonderful night of prayer and music. So, I've determined, as usual, this really is the Lord speaking to my heart.

I got up this morning and went straight into prayer. Wow. What a difference.

If you don't put Him first, you are not going to have the fruit to show for it. By the end of the day, your mind is swimming in the muck of the world. Somehow you have to stop that Ferris wheel and get off. It's really hard, but when you get up first thing in the morning and devote that time to Him, your mind is clear. You don't have to fight all the thoughts that come rushing in.

I used to do this without fail and it worked wonderfully. I'd go to bed at 8 o'clock at night and get up at four in the morning and I had a good three hours before my children woke up to do the things I needed before home schooling.

It's a matter of making up your mind what is the most important thing in your life. If it's your housework and having a clean floor and a clean sink, you're gonna wear yourself out - and what kind of story does that tell about the most important thing in your life? "The house comes first... and Jesus comes last. Your husband comes first... and Jesus comes later. Your children come first... and then the Lord."

I'm saying this to those of you who are very, very serious about having a profound relationship with God and bringing forth the fruit of that relationship. If that's what you want, you absolutely must prioritize your day to put Him first when you're awake, alert and in the stillness of uninterrupted solitude. To do it any other way shows that He is NOT the number one priority in your life.

You may have to sit your family down and explain it to them, telling them that you'll be a MUCH better mother and wife if you put God first. You are also showing them what their priority should be from the time they are little until they leave home. And if they don't follow that example, it won't be your fault.

Seek Him, dear Heartdwellers, and He will make a way for you. The Lord is going to do this for us.

God bless you all.

Spiritual Attacks Prayers for Our Enemies

  

September 20, 2016

May the Peace and Endurance of Jesus be with us all.

The Lord began speaking to me about the days past and I had questions about why new issues come up just on the heels of resolving and healing other issues. It can be discouraging at times - I almost feel like a duck in a shooting gallery. But giving up is not an option. Ever.

My time with Him began: Lord, You know my struggles with faith and the many things that pop up out of nowhere. No sooner do we get one issue resolved than something else takes its place. Please help me.

"I know what you're thinking," He said, "I can hear your ruminating. I also hear the enemy whispering and insinuating. There are many who wish much evil and death on you both, but they will go unsatisfied. In fact, I am arranging trials for them that will take their attention off of you. But you know, Clare, there are always more haters and nay-sayers. I appreciate your prayers for them; truly they are dark souls in need of Me.


"I want to give them My love, but they reject it, turn away and prefer anger, bitterness, and all things dark. This is where they get their 'high.' From the devils, satanic worship and the pains inflicted on others. They are distorted, twisted souls, Clare. My heart aches for them."

If only they knew You, Jesus.

"They know enough about Me to know they don't want Me." 
 

But how could they NOT want You as their friend?

"It is complicated and has its source in woundings, (mixed with lies blaming Me) over and over again. So much has been heaped on the original incidents and buried, that they don't even know what will make them happy. You were correct in saying there is no such thing as a 'happy' Satanist. Even if they think they are happy now, they will find out it was all an illusion and that Satan hates their guts - just like they hated everyone else. 
 
"It is a truth that the character of the leader filters down all the way to the littlest member. This alone should tell them. Satan is all about hatred, and they are being used. When they are no longer useful, then they will discover how this arch-demon really regards them. What happened when John Ramirez asked Satan for a time of rest because he was tired? He was blinded for an entire year. That tells you how Satan really feels about his puppets."

Lord, that pains me deeply. What a horrible deception!

"It is just, Clare. They know better in the beginning, they know not to hurt others - but they ignore what is being told to them through their conscience. Over and over and over again they do these things to hurt others, until there is no consciousness of right or wrong; just what feels good. And hurting others feels good, really good.
 
"There is no reasoning with them. This is not a function of thought, it goes much deeper. It is deep, deep hurt and rejection gone into retaliation against all humankind. Hatred. Sheer, pure, unadulterated hatred, until Satan takes over the soul and they live only to satisfy his cravings for inflicting pain and death.

"I hate talking about this." Jesus concluded.

Me, too! Can we please change the subject? I really want to understand more about healing and faith. I wake up with attacks against faith, lies that healing does not work, even though I've SEEN it work.

Jesus replied, "I know, Beloved. I know. You have to work with Me. You have to declare it and believe it for it to take root. This is not an endeavor for just Me, I must have your full cooperation.

"I want you to believe what the Spirit tells you I am doing in your body. I want you to reaffirm it everyday, because everyday you are under attack. I have set your body to heal certain maladies that you are aware of. Not all, but particular ones - truly I have. Now you must set your mind to believe in that healing process and denounce any contrary suggestions.

"Healing is a very complex and delicate subject. But for the soul who has complete faith (too rare even to mention) healing can be accomplished more easily when it is My will. 
 
"For the rest of the souls who are struggling with faith, it is a battle and can make you weary. But you just have to confess, 'This particular problem in my body has been set to heal and I will see it accomplished.' Then you mustn't give into unbelief or doubting. 
 
"Doubts will come, sometimes like a flood from the Enemy. But you, My dear Daughter, must reject them the very moment they enter your mind. Do not allow them to stick there. Refute them, and rebuke the demons. 
 
"For the other sufferings, which I have allowed for the sake of Mercy on the world and mankind, I will give you the grace to continue moving forward, in spite of them.

"Everything I do with you, Clare, has its source in Love. There are so many things that you could be suffering, and I have protected you from. And these things are but a small token of your love for Me, offering them up for the lost souls. And especially the workers of iniquity. I deeply appreciate your prayers for the workers of iniquity. You will indeed see fruit from these prayers.

"I BLESS YOU NOW, MY DAUGHTER. I BLESS YOU ALL. UNDERSTAND THAT FAITH WORKS HAND-IN-HAND WITH MY GRACE AND YOU ARE THE ANCHOR TO CONTINUE THE WORK OF HEALING. WE DO THIS TOGETHER."
