Pursue Me say’s The LORD :)

“I love those who love Me, and those who seek Me find Me.” — Proverbs 8:17

I am greater than all things, and My love is extended to the whole of
creation. I have given My best for you, My children, and to everyone
who calls on My name. My Son is My gift, for in Him, you have all
things.

Why settle for less than what I have for you? Why pursue the things of
this world, when the riches of eternity are available to you, if you
will receive them. I give life, peace, joy and prosperity. Yes, I hold
all things in My hands, and I keep those who love Me. Do not pursue
that which the world values – pursue Me, and you will find rest for
your soul.

I am the Ever-Living One.

Open the windows of your heart and let Me come in. Let Me fill you
to the brim. Come, My children, come.

The Good Shepherd say’s the LORD

My child you are worried and upset about many things, therefore I am
calling you to choose only that which is needed and better for you.

Beloved I am not unjust that I will forget your work and the love you
have shown Me, as you have helped My people and continue to help them.
But now I see that you are heavy laden and burdened from straining
through the tempest of the night. Therefore child, come to Me by
yourself, to a quiet place and get some rest. Allow Me to lead you
beside quiet waters, so that I may restore your soul and refresh you
with My living waters.

Late is the hour and though your heart may be troubled, I am about to
glorify My Name again as I have previously glorified it. Child I am the
giver of life, and it is life that I breathed in you and want to breathe
in you yet again. Therefore I will make you lie down in green pastures,
so that My Spirit may strengthen you and breathe life into your bones.

Therefore learn to take My yoke upon you once again, for My yoke is easy
and My burden is light. Do not be swept up and carried away by the cares
of the world, for I know what you need. Instead seek first My Kingdom and
righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.

My child turn to Me and be healed. Come sit at My feet and gaze into My
eyes which are ablaze with love and compassion for you. Come and follow
Me, for I am the Good Shepherd.

Be Filled say’s The LORD

Child of Mine, I want to encourage you. I do not want you sad and
dejected. It is not My desire for you to be beaten down by the
enemy or trampled under his feet. To the contrary, I have already
given you all that you need in order to be an overcoming one, and
I want you to walk in the full measure of My victory so that you
might enjoy every one of My good plans for you.

Child of Mine, it is My desire for you to succeed. That is why I
have given you My Spirit, who lives inside of you. He is there to
help you, to lead and guide you, and to teach you how to take up
the victory that I have already prepared for you.

Dear one, no matter how dark it seems, there is a hope and a future
for you, just as I have said in My word.* It is yours; it has already
been prepared for you and placed with your reach. All you have to
do is to embrace it; to believe enough to start moving towards it.
You don’t have to figure out how to get there on your own, for My
Spirit is with you and He wants to help you. He wants to empower you
to succeed in every thing that I have called you to do, and He wants
to fill you with My joy and My peace along the way.

Little one, learn to yield to My Spirit and to trust that He is
actively at work in your life for your good. My Son promised that
We would never leave you alone or abandon you, and We have not.
We have placed our Spirit within you, and He will never leave you
or abandon you. But He will not force you to do our will–at least
not most of the time–and He will not force you to walk in the
many good things that We have prepared for you.

That is because He wants you to choose to submit to His leading, so
that you might honor and obey your God. And as you submit your will
to Ours, you will find that what We have for you is so much better
than you expected–a hope and a bright future, and the fullness of
joy. You will discover that Our plans for you are much better than
anything you could have accomplished on your own. You will come to
know joy unspeakable in submitting to the leading of the Holy Spirit,
and you will find Him to be a true and faithful guide.

I have already placed Him within you, and it is His desire to fill
you to overflowing. But He will not increase His presence in your
life until you choose to submit to Him, for He does not want to force
you. He wants you to choose to be filled. He wants you to choose to
be empowered and He wants you to choose to walk in My victory.

So make a good choice, dear one. Choose to be filled and empowered
and thrust into that place of victory that I have prepared for you.
Choose to enter into My peace and joy, then see how My indwelling
Holy Spirit will empower you. He will bring you into the fullness
of all that I have for you as you listen to His voice and submit to
Him. Yes, He will lead you and He will guide you and He will fill
you to overflowing. So choose to obey and submit to My will, dear
one, for that is how you choose to be filled and anointed.

Yes, dear one, choose to be filled, so that you might see My glory
enter into every aspect of your life.

Called, Anointed and Chosen say’s The LORD

Precious child of Mine, don’t you know that you are called and chosen?
I completely and thoroughly knew you before you were born. I knew what
all of your strengths would be before you took your first step. I knew
what all of your weaknesses were before you could comprehend human speech.
Yes, I knew the inner issues you would struggle with before you spoke
your first word. I have created and designed you; I know exactly who
you are–and I love you dearly. You are acceptable in My sight and I
have chosen you as a vessel to carry My glory.

The enemy of your soul would try to steal your value and make you feel
small and worthless. But he is a liar and the truth is not in him, so
do not believe what he says about you. He desires to disable you and
to get you to disqualify yourself. But I have not disqualified you and I
have no intention of doing so. I have called you by name and I have
chosen you. I have trusted you with things that are important to Me, and
I will be with you in all things, helping you accomplish the destiny that
I have given to you.

Yes, I created you for a purpose. I chose a destiny for you that gives
you great value. My plans for you are custom tailored to who I created
you to be, and the tasks that I have called you to do are well suited to
you. I have given you a destiny and a purpose that brings value and
worth into your life. I have trusted you with things that are important
to Me, and I have placed My anointing upon you to empower you to
accomplish them.

Child, I have put great treasures within you. They are not they type of
treasure that you bury and then dig up at the last day. I have not given
them to you for you to hide and keep safe, but so that you can use them
to accomplish My purposes. I want you to learn to use them to My glory,
in order that I might accomplish My purposes through you.

Trust Me. I knew what I was doing when I created you and I have indeed
prepared a destiny for you that is well suited to you. Do not be afraid
that the task I choose for you is too great for you; I will empower you
to do all that I ask of you. I have put My Spirit within you and I have
put My anointing upon you, and I have given you all that you need to
succeed in everything that I have called you to do.

Do not fear, and do not hold back. Step out in faith and obey Me. Then
watch Me work My glory in your life. Watch how I will touch others through
you, for you carry the treasure of My presence and My anointing is upon you.You are created for a purpose. You are called, anointed and chosen, and
you are Mine.

I Am Your Daddy God say’s The LORD

Child of Mine, you can trust Me because I am your Daddy God and I
love you. I know that there are times when you are afraid of Me.
There are times when you are wracked with guilt from your sin, and
you don’t think I could really forgive you. But the blood of My Son
covers you, and makes you acceptable in My sight. While you know this
in your head, you don’t always believe it down in your inner most
being, and that doubt makes Me seem scary to you. But even in the
midst of those times, and even in the midst of your doubts and
struggles, I still love you. I never stop being your Heavenly
Father, and I never stop taking good care of you. The fact remains
you can run to Me in your struggles and you can trust Me.

The enemy of your soul is working as hard as he can to try and keep
you from trusting Me, because he knows that once you learn to truly
trust, all of the resource of Heaven will be available to you and you
will do great damage to his kingdom. So he will use whatever lie or
falsehood he can to make it seem unsafe to trust Me. He will tell you
that I don’t really love you because of something you did, or because
of something you failed to do. He will tell you that you have somehow
disqualified yourself from My grace or from My love. He will do what
he can to make you believe that I am angry with you and that I want to
punish you. He will try to convince you that I don’t care about your
needs or that I am not willing to take care you.

All of those things are lies of the devil designed to try and keep you
from trusting Me. But he is a liar. I am truth and I am love, and I am
faithful and trustworthy. If you put your trust in Me, you will not
be disappointed.

Little one, I want you to learn just how trustworthy I really am. I want
you to know this so that you might put your trust in Me. But even if you
continue to struggle in that area never learn to place your full trust
and confidence in Me, I will still be your Daddy God and I will never
stop loving you.

No Bandages say’s the LORD

Child, I am a faithful Father, and I have a great love and a great
care for each of My own. Many of My children have issues in their
life that seem big to them, issues that seem overwhelming at times.
That is why I want you to know that I am in control, and that I am
well able to work My glory in each situation.

Child, do you remember the days where you were young, when your
would fall down and skin your knee? You would go running to your
mother and she would kiss it, then put a bandage on it. Some of My
children remember that too well. They have learned to look for
bandages for their situation to ease the pain, or to get them by.
But child, I am not a God who puts a bandage on it. No, I am a God
who cleans it out, who blows My healing wind on it and causes there
to be a restoration. So do not look for a quick relief; rather look
to Me to bring My power, glory and My anointing into your situation.

It is My desire to transform, to empower, to give you the victory. I
want you to walk in the fullness of My plans for you, and My plans for
you are good. They are life and they are delight, for I am a loving
Father. So don’t come to Me for a bandage. Instead come to Me for a
complete healing, for it is My desire to heal your heart.

I want to heal your situations, to transform, to work My glory in you
and to cause My anointing and power to rest upon you. I have created
you to be an overcoming one. I have created you to be one who walks
with Me; one who does with Me what I am doing. And I am well able to
cause you to walk in the fullness of My plans and purposes for you.

So look to Me, for I am with you, and I will work My glory in your
situation. Trust Me, and I will bring it to pass, for I am a good God.
Yes, I am a loving Father Who cares greatly for you.

Living for God’s Glory,

Soiled And Dirty say’s the LORD

Child of Mine, I have formed you to be fully alive in Me, to know the full
extent of My joy and the full measure of My peace. I never put you here to
simply exist or to “get by” or “survive.” I have given you an important job
to do with Me in My kingdom, I have given you a destiny and a purpose. I
have placed My call upon you and I have allowed you to see what I am doing,
that you might participate in it with Me. I have even granted you kingdom
authority and power, and I have endowed you with many good gifts.

My plans for you are good; do not fear them for they will bring you much
joy and satisfaction. I have explicitly created you for the destiny that
I have carefully chosen for you, you are well suited to it. It will fit you
like a glove and you will find fulfillment in doing precisely what I have
created you to do.

Child, the enemy of your soul would have you think that you are flawed and
that you have been disqualified from the destiny that I have so carefully
selected for you. He wants to discourage you and he hopes to persuade you
to give up. But child, he is simply a liar and the father of lies, and the
truth is not in him. You must not believe the terrible things that he says
to you about yourself, for He is trying to keep you from reaching your full
potential in Me, that you might perform the destiny that I have created you
for.

Yes, there are times when you get soiled and dirty. There are times when
you require the cleansing flow of My Son’s blood, shed so freely on Calvary
on your behalf. There are times when you are stubborn and rebellious, and
yes, there are even times when you deserve a spanking. But once you have
been adopted into My family, you never stop being My child. I do not throw
you away because you slip and I do not discard you when you fail. That
is not My way and it has never been My way. I am faithful. I will not turn
My back on you.

When you have failed or fallen short and then you run back to Me, I receive
you with open arms. I do not reject you, instead I strengthen you and I
transform you. I will help you grow more and more into the image of My Own
dear Son, and I will work My glory in your life. That has always been My
intention. I did not make a mistake when I chose you. Child, I live in all
times at once and I fully knew you before you came to Me. I knew everything
you would do, everything you would think, everything you would say, and I
still loved you. Knowing everything about you, I have chosen you and you
are Mine. So what is it that you can possibly do that will disqualify you
for the good density that I have for you?

Think of a child who goes out to play on the first day after many rains.
His mother dresses him in clean clothes and sends him out. But as he
plays, he gets muddy. Does the mother disown him when he comes home with his
clothes dirty and his face soiled? Of course not! And neither will I disown
you! I will do what any good parent does when you come to Me soiled and dirty
with your failures and shortcomings. I will strip the filth off of you as
the mother strips away the dirty cloths and throws them in the wash. Then I
will bathe you and give you a good scrubbing to wash away all of the dirt.

That is what My Son, Jesus, has accomplished for you on Calvary. Sin and
filth no longer separate you from Me. Shame and failure no longer rule
over you, for you have been adopted into My family and I have given you
an inheritance.

Yes, there will be times when I must chastise you as loving father corrects
his dear child. That is not to push you away or to reject you. No! If I
discipline you, it is only to turn you away from the thing that caused you
to fail, so that you might run back to Me and receive My embrace. I know
you and I know your shortcomings, you are never going to surprise Me by
them. I am not going to push you away when you fall short.

Yes, you will fall short. You will fail from time to time, it is part of
the growth process. When that happens, do not listen to the lies of the
enemy and do not disqualify yourself. Instead, run quickly back to Me and
allow Me to cleanse you of all unrighteousness. Allow Me to restore you and
to thrust you back into the center of your destiny. I have called you and I
have chosen you. I am not going to throw you away when you fall short. I am
going to work within you to transform you and to empower you to walk in the
full measure of My victory.

Do not disqualify yourself, child of Mine, for I have not disqualified you.

Take My Hand say’s the LORD.

Precious child, you desire to see Me move in My power and in My glory
and that is a good thing, for I also desire this. Some of you desire
very much for Me to use you in siginficant ways for My kingdom: in
physical healing, in deliverance, and in the working of signs and
wonders. Again this is a good thing. But know this, that you must
walk holy before Me if you desire to do these things with Me.

Many of My own have prayed, “Lord, Here I am, please use me.” And they
expected the glory to come forth with they prayed that prayer. But
instead, testing and tribulation have come forth; and trials have
increased about them on every side. And they have been wondering what
has been happening.

Child, don’t you know I must prepare you before I can use you? I must
work My holiness in you. I must transform your character to be more
line Mine. So do not shrink back from this time of refinement. Allow
Me to remove the chaff and to purify you. The flesh must die, the
carnal desires and motivations must be replaced with a sincere seeking
to do **only** My will.

Do NOT resist Me if you desire for Me to use you. For I cannot use you
in a carnal state. I am going to bring forth a wave of HOLINESS and
that which is unpure will not be able to stand as I begin to manifest
Myself in this manner. I want you to be able to stand.

That means that self-seeking must go. That means that complaining and
murmuring must go. That means that assuming evil of your brothers and
sisters must go. That means that seeking your own welfare above My
kingdom must go. That means that you must stand in the light and speak
only truth. That means you must not react based on your emotions, but
based on My Spirit. That means that you must put MY agenda and MY plans
above your agenda and your plans.

Child of Mine, My hand is outstretched to you, and I am looking for
volunteers. Understand that the road to were we are going is not an
easy road, for it is never an easy road to be prepared to walk with Me
in My glory. But I invite you; I stretch forth My hand to you. I will
take any who are willing. We will start right where you are at and we
will walk down the path of holiness together. We will walk down the
path of purity and transformation; I will work My glory in you if you
will allow Me to.

Will you take My hand and come with Me?

The Foghorn say’s The LORD

My people have walked through a fog of the enemy’s design. It is a fog
that comes upon the mind and hinders one from seeing–not only in the
natural, but the spiritual as well. Outwardly it appears calm;
outwardly there is a knowing that you know I am holding your hands.
But inwardly there are questions: are you seeing rightly? are you
hearing Me?

This is a difficult attack, for the fog lures you off course, and the
enemy is trying to make you question many things. He wants you to
question the *why* of it all. He wants you to question the *when* of
My plans regarding you.

My people, I am calling to you as a foghorn in the midst of the fog.
Listen for Me. I will keep you steady and on course. I want you to
trust Me to lead you through, for I am leading you through!

Now is the Season say’s THE LORD

My Child, be filled by My Spirit as I speak many mysteries and revelations
into your spirit. But first, you must prepare your heart and spirit to
contain all that I long to pour into you. You must learn to deflect the
arrows of the evil one by being clothed in My strength and righteousness.
Never doubt for one moment whose child you are, and do not doubt your
inheritance in Christ.

You must learn to discern My voice at all times. I will speak to you by
the outpouring of My Spirit upon you. You must receive it always by faith.
I have given you the gift of discernment and now is the season to use it
and to equip yourself for battle. All who see you will see My mark upon
your life. But will you at this time step up into your anointed position?
Be armored, My Child, by your helmet of salvation, breastplate of
righteousness, sword of My word and My Spirit of truth.

I will never leave you nor forsake you. My presence will always be with
you. But will you, beloved, choose to acknowledge My Holy presence?

Just as the Ark of the Israelites entered into battle to win and to
conquer, so will My presence go with you into all your battles. Where My
presence is, there you shall have victory in every area of your life. Now
is the season, beloved, to reclaim all that the enemy has taken from you
and the body of Christ. Arise, My beloved, and take up your inheritance
in Me. Your King will lead you into battle–and where I am, there you
will find victory.

I have covered you by the blood of My Son. There is a very distinct mark
upon your life. You have become both a target and a weapon of victory. In
My name you shall tear down strongholds in your life and the lives of this
nation. This is the season I have decreed for prisoners to be set free,
lives to be restored and the gospel of heaven to be proclaimed. Go forth,
precious Child…go forth in the full covering of My power and presence
upon your life and victory shall be ours.

Do you feel the shift in the atmosphere? There is a new freedom and flow
to move forward as one unit and one body in Christ. This battle is fought
and won in the Spirit. Therefore you must be attuned to My Spirit every
moment you are awake. I will sharpen all your spiritual gifts but you
must received by faith the mission I have assigned you. Remember I have
called you to the nations, My Child. The battle you fight you fight as a
part of the body of Christ.

I will teach and I will admonish, but you must allow your spirit to be
attuned to My leading at all times. Remain in Me, beloved, and I will
remain in you always. There is nothing the enemy can throw at you which
you cannot deflect, as long as you remember your inheritance and your
task. Call on My name and you will overcome the wiles of the evil one.

I Correct Those Whom I Love say’s The LORDh

Child of Mine, I have loved you with an everlasting love. You don’t
fully realize what that means. One of the things it means is that
My opinion of you is not going to change when you have a bad day or
a bad week. You do not need to fear that I will reject you or throw
you away during your difficult times. I will not cast you aside and
I will not reject you. And I will not stop loving you during
those times when I have to correct you.

I will not allow you to remain in a bad place because I love you so
much. Child we both know that there will be times when you begin to
embrace things that will draw you away from Me. I cannot look the other
way and ignore it, nor will I turn My back on you or turn My face away
from you. Instead, I will begin to convict you so that I might bring a
change in your behavior. If you yield to Me quickly, I will be gentle.
But if you resist, I will apply as much pressure as necessary to effect
the change in your life.

Child, I do this because I love you so dearly and you are so precious to
Me and I cannot bear to have you separated from Me. Have I not said in
My word that I chastise those whom I love? Child, what I mean by that
is simply that I love you too much to allow you to wander into things
where you harm yourself or to embrace things that separate you from Me.
So when you begin to misstep, I will begin to bring correction. That
correction is not intended to punish, it is to set you back on the right
course, that you might walk fully in My path and follow in My way.

My correction is not to be feared, for I will be gentle when you are
responsive to Me. I am only firm when you resist and rebel. My desire is
never to punish you or to cause you pain. It is always to draw you back
to where you belong in relationship with Me.

And child, when you respond to Me and turn to Me, I will meet you with
My embrace. I will strengthen you as you walk in My ways and I will
encourage you and give you peace and joy. It is My desire to bless
you, little one. And as you yield and submit to Me, I will draw you
closer than you have ever been before and I will shower My blessings
upon you.

My plans for you are good and My desires for you are good and it is My
will that your joy be full. And just as a father corrects his little
ones in love, so I correct My little ones when they begin to wander
off course. So, child, do not dismay when you fall under My hand of
correction. The reason that I correct you is because I love you so
dearly and I do not want you to wander into error. Take heart and know
that as you run to Me, My arms will be open wide to receive you. I will
not reject you and I will not push you away. Instead I will draw you
close and I will shower you in My love and grace and blessings.

So come to Me, child of Mine, with no fear or hesitancy. Come and
experience the great love that I have for you. It is My heart to bless
you, but I can only release My blessings on you when you are in the
center of My will. So allow Me to draw you back to that place, and then
choose to remain there with Me. Child, you are precious to Me and I
love you.

Living for GOD’s Glory,
Aarti

I Love You say’s the LORD

My dear child, you don’t realize how much I love you and how much the
blood of My own dear Son avails for you. There are times when the enemy
of your soul comes along and tells you that I am angry at you for not
being strong enough. Or he tells you that I am disgusted with you for
not having the right attitudes. He suggests to you that it would be a
good idea for you to distance yourself from Me for a season, and you
listen to him. You draw away from Me, as if to hide from My displeasure.

Dear one, don’t you realize that is the lie of the enemy? What he is
telling you is utter nonsense! The truth is that the blood of My Son
has already covered your shortcoming. He has already made you
acceptable to Me, so it is not possible for Me to reject you.

It is not possible to truly withdraw from My presence, for I am
everywhere and I inhabit all places at all times. But when you feel
dirty, you choose to distance your spirit from Me, none the less,
assuming that I do not want to be near you at that moment. Your tactic
will not work, dear one, for I see you in your place of hiding and I
will not leave your side. I will not abandon you or push you away, no
matter how much you think I should.

Yes, there are times that you, like a small child, get yourself dirty
and you soil your clothes. What parent is there among you who would
disown their little child for coming home dirty, or for soiling their
garment? No, you would not do that, and neither would I.

When you feel dirty and soiled, run to Me; do not run away from Me.
Allow Me to wash and cleanse you; allow Me to dress you in a clean
and unsoiled garment. Know that My arms are always open wide to
receive you; I will not push you away and I will not reject you.

Dear one, you are loved. You are fully accepted in the Beloved. Do
not be afraid to come back to Me even when you do things that you
know displease Me. Throw yourself on My grace and mercy for there
is no safer place that you can be. Remember that I spared Nineveh
(the ungodly and sinful city) when they repented before Me. How much
more will I spare you, dear one, since you are called by the name of
My own dear Son?

You have been adopted into My family and My Spirit lives within you.
I am not out to destroy you. Rather, I am actively at work in your life
to transform you and make you more like Myself. I want to strengthen
you and give you victory over those things that make you fall. My
plans for you are good, and I desire that you always run back to Me
no matter how unclean you may feel.

How can I do My good work in your life if you are running from Me
or hiding from Me? Run back to Me, dear one, no matter how soiled
you think you are at the moment.

I love you dearly. You do not need to hide from Me, for I am safe
to approach. Run back to Me, dear one, and let Me help you overcome
whatever deficiency that is causing you to try to hide from Me. Run
to Me and receive My embrace. Allow Me to pour My love into you and
allow Me to lavish My acceptance upon you. That is what I desire to
do if only you will repent and run back to Me.

Clay in the Hands of the Al-Mighty Creator

Dear Friends,

I have seen in my walk with the Lord that every person who believes in Jesus and belongs to Him goes through a phase of chastening by the Lord; this is the Lords way of molding us. I like to call it the phase of Character building. I believe I am still going through this phase where God is shaping me, He is molding me and it will continue to happen in our lives till we become prefect in every area of our lives.

One day I was reading Jeremiah 18. In verses 1 through 4 Jeremiah talks about how GOD asked him to go to the potter’s house. Let us read through the verses.

Jeremiah 18:1-4:

1. The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD saying,

2. “Arise and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.”

3. Then I went down to the potter’s house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.

4. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it

God speaks to Jeremiah saying, Arise and go down to the potter’s house. When he went there he found that the potter was working at his wheel and he then saw that the jar he was making did not turn out as he had hoped. The potter then crushed the jar into a lump of clay and started all over again!

What did the potter do here in verse 4?

He crushed that jar into a lump of clay and started the work again. At times we all go through this process. Even I had and am still going through this process of molding where I am the clay and my Jesus is shaping me into a vessel.

At times we see our dreams breaking. I have seen my dreams breaking in front of my eyes. Things are not happening according to what we want it to be! We see friends leaving us and going! Then we begin to question God, Lord why is this happening to me? This is a genuine cry to God and even I have asked this question many times.

But let me tell you this beloved friends that in this scripture we have an answer for this question, this cry to our Lord. All the times you had asked this question, the Potter was working on the clay and trying to make it into a beautiful vessel. But some how he was not satisfied and so he crushed it again into a lump of clay and started all over again. My dearest brothers and sisters, this crushing and starting over process is very painful. I can tell you this because I have been through it. The bible also tell us about it in Hebrews 12:11.

Hebrew 12:10-11:

10. For our earthly fathers disciplined us for a few years, doing the best they knew how. But God’s discipline is always good for us, so that we might share in his holiness.

11. No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening—it’s painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way.

This tells us that no disciplining is enjoyable…IT’S painful!! But later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. Amen!

We should always remember that we serve the living GOD…We see that in Hebrew 12:10 it say’s that our earthly fathers disciplined us for a few years, doing the best they knew. But God’s discipline is always good for us, so that we might share in His holiness. God’s discipline proves His love for us. He does it so that we can be prefect like him. The One who has begun the work in us, will finish HIS glorious work in us in a beautiful way. I don’t know what situation you are in but I just want to encourage you from Romans 8:28.

Romans 8:28:

28. And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.

Jeremiah 29:11:

11. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

When we go through the time of molding and shaping we need to trust him and be still. Because the Bible says in Romans 10:11 and Ps 46:10…

Ps 46:10- Be still, and know that I am God.

Romans 10:11- As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.

When God shapes us there is a reason behind him doing so. Lets go back to Jeremiah 4 where it say’s that the potter was making the jar and it did not turn out as he had hoped, so he crushed it into a lump of clay again and started over.

Remember it’s not about us; it’s not about what we desire. We may desire for a lot of things but in the end His will be done. Let us look at the life of Jesus. In the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prays to the FATHER (Matt 26:39).

Matthew 26:39:

39. He went on a little farther and bowed with his face to the ground, praying, “My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.”

Three times Jesus prayed the same prayer – Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.

In this time of molding and shaping, when God is doing something beautiful and making us ready for something greater in our lives, we need to pray just as Jesus tells His disciples in Matthew 26:41

Matthew 26:41:

41. Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak!”

I just want to conclude saying GOD is the Potter and He is doing something beautiful in everyone’s life. In this earthen vessel there is heavenly treasure and this makes it clear that our great power is from God and not from ourselves.

2 Corinthians 4:7:

7. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

In Jesus Name, Amen!!

In His Love

Jason Upton – Glory Come Down..

Father, listen to our earnest prayer
Jesus prayed it years ago
That the glory You had given Him
We would somehow come to know
So make us one according to Your plan
As in heaven it will be
Fill us with the truth and righteousness
You desire the world to see

Let Your glory and honor
Fall on our face
Holy Father
Rest in this place

The church is sick and need of God alone
And people we must seek His face
If we turn from all our unrighteousness
He’ll forgive our evil ways
So may the eyes of God be on us here
Lord, revive us by Your grace
Holy Spirit be forever near
Saturate us in this place

Let Your glory and honor
Fall on our face
Holy Father
Rest in this place

Let the fire fall
Let the wind blow
Let the glory come down

Love
Aarti

You Say That You Trust Me Say’s The LORD.

Child of Mine, you say that you trust Me, but do you really?

So many of My own deceive themselves into thinking they have put their
full trust in Me–yet they hold on to their fears, their anxieties
and their worries.

Little one, if you really trusted Me, then you would not fret when
you find yourself in a difficult situation, because you would know with
a certainty that I am with you and that I will help you. I want you
to walk in that type of peace…a peace that passes all understanding
and sustains you no matter what you face. My peace is independent of
your circumstances, because it is based on Me and upon My faithfulness
to you.

This is a season of many uncertainties for those who belong to the world;
it is a season of difficulty and of many fears. But that should not touch
you, because you are Mine, and I am faithful to take care of you. I want
to envelop you in a peace. I want to give you the confidence that comes
from knowing that I hold your future securely in My hand, and that I am
both willing and able to take care of you.

So little one, look at what is going on around you, then take stock of
your heart. Is there worry or fret? Is there anxiety or fear? Are you
running scenarios to solve a problem over and over again in your head?
Are you at your wits end in some area of your life? Are you unable to
sleep at night because of this?

Or are you filling your thoughts with reminders of My goodness and
faithfulness. Are you looking to Me instead of looking at your problems?
Are you able to center yourself in My peace, so that you clearly hear
My directions for this situation?

Too many of My own fill their hearts with too much of worry and anxiety,
and with too little of the peace and confidence in My faithfulness. That
is not My plan for them and I would like to change that.

I want each and every one of My own to enjoy the full measure of peace
and joy that I have ordained for them–a peace and joy that comes from
Me and not from the circumstances that surround you. So, little one,
look to Me and let Me teach you how to truly put your trust Me. For when
you put your trust in Me, you will not be disappointed.

Love
Aarti
