Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Thus sayeth the Lord: "My children, I call you to come into My Presence with Praise and Thanksgiving, even though the world is in an uproar and the hearts of many are broken and depressed and sorrow fills your land. Every day has been one of much sorrow for many and there has never been one heart that wasn't broken and brought to despair. Life may seem so much easier for some than it does for you; and, yes, it is true that many suffer far more than others even in body, and spirit. The hearts of many have been crushed even in childhood. Oh how sad to the heart of the Father to see His children cast low. For your Father, God, cares for you and you are precious in His sight; but with some, if they don't see it with their own eyes they won't believe it. They do not see some failing to believe and they know not that I am near seeking to come to you to give you the comfort that all mankind is in need of.
My people has an enemy in the world both to the soul and the body. But the enemy cannot touch the souls of My people. The enemy may crush their hearts and minds of them. But if they continue to look above--and look to Me, they will have the power over the enemy. I say you have an enemy because the enemy is in need of God's saving grace and knows it not. The enemy is out to destroy all that is good by trying to establish their own goodness. The enemy is real and is growing more powerful every day, so therefore I say unto My people, rise up in the name of the Lord, for in the Lord, there is power to overcome. My children, I say unto you be wise and know that by being filled with the Spirit of God, wisdom will come.
There is a people that place God and all his followers with the foolish, and the wisdom of God is considered foolishness and nonsense. Oh how foolish are those that have become ashamed of the Spirit that I have bestowed unto them, and that is why the world is overtaken with evil. For the greater number of children that I have in the world, the less does evil prevail, even though satan works harder to destroy the workings of God. Satan knows the Kingdom of God abides forever and there is no force able to overcome; neither to destroy it.
Share the name of Jesus with joy and gladness and not with embarrassment out of concern for what they think of you. The world knows not the Christ of your salvation. Even so, they may read the Holy Word continuously, for if they have not had an encounter with Jesus Christ, they are of a lost nature and possess not the new nature of the Holy Spirit. You have been given power, receive it with boldness and not with fear. I give you this message that you rise high today and every day in the name of Jesus, for He is in your midst and all power is His possession. Joy and peace He gives in abundance to those who are willing to receive all that He has to offer. What reason does a child of God have to be downcast and with a broken and contrite heart? Jesus Christ has already born your sins and your sorrows--and yet I say unto you sin not because sin is not of God's nature.
My Little Ones, I say this not to cause you to think you have no reason to be of a broken heart because of death and sickness or whatever befalls you, but rejoice My children, in Me. Because of who I AM and that you belong to Me through faith in Christ Jesus and not because of who you are, but rejoice amid the sorrow of your heart because of what you are going through for I AM the God of Glory in your midst. Remember even I wept and I still weep over the world and the condition that the world is in because they know Me not. When God speaks of the world, He is speaking not of the earth in which you abide, but of those who abide on it.
Be blessed and receive your blessings with Joy and Thanksgiving. The Lord will be with those who are with Him. I AM the Root and you are the branches and this message was given by the Tree of Life through the branches and so does the Word of God move forth. Let the Word of God ever abide in and through His people."
From Sister Gerrie
1 Corinthians 13:4-8 says,
"Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails…"
In Matthew 5:43-46 Jesus tells us
"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on both the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?"
If you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus died on the cross for your sins and God raised Him from the dead,you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 - 10)
If you have not done so, just pray this prayer:
"Dear God,
I confess with my mouth and believe in my heart that Jesus is your son and that He died on the cross for my sins. Jesus, forgive me of my sins and come into my heart and become my personal Lord and Savior.
In Jesus's name, Amen."
