THANK YOU LORD

A newly arrived soul in Heaven was met by St. Peter, and he took him on a tour around Heaven.  They walked inside a large workroom filled with angels working.  St. Peter stopped and said, "This is the Receiving Section.  Here is where all the prayer requests to God are received".  The soul looked at the section, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out prayer requests from all over the world.

They walked again until they reached the next section, and St. Peter told the soul, "This is the Packaging and Delivery Section.  Here is where the graces and blessings the people asked for are packed and delivered to the persons who asked for them" The soul noticed there were just as many angels working in that room.

Finally at the next section the soul stopped, and to his surprise there was only one angel there basically doing nothing.  "This is the Acknowledging Section," St. Peter told the soul.  "How is it that there is no work here?"  "That's the sad thing”, St. Peter answered.  "After the people received the blessings very few send their acknowledgments".  "How does one acknowledge God's blessing?"  "Simple”, St. Peter answered.  "Just say, “'Thank you, Lord'."

DON'T DOUBT MY LOVE FOR YOU

My Child,

I love you, and I do care about you.  I know there’s so much going on in your life that you feel as though I don’t love you, that I don’t care about what you’re going through, and I’ve forgotten about you.  You know in your heart that isn’t true.  I love you with the same love that My Father has for you, for He loves you so much that He gave His only Begotten Son, Me.  My Father and I are one.  I love you so much that hung, bled, and died for you, and all I ask is that you believe on Me so that you can have eternal life.

My love for you is unconditional, it doesn’t change, I don’t change.  So I have to ask you, “Do you love Me unconditionally, or do you love Me only when things are going well for you?”  That is how the world treats Me.  You are not of the world, I chose you, I delivered you, I called you to be My own.  So why do you doubt My love for you?  Why do you doubt that I will provide for you?  Haven’t I always come through?  Haven’t I always kept you safe from dangers seen and unseen?

BELIEVE BEFORE RECEIVING

John 4:47 -53 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.  Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.  The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.  Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth.  And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.  And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.  Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend.  And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.  So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.

Our situation today is no worse than what this father had to overcome.  And just like with this father, Jesus expects us to do something first before He responds to us.  He expects us to believe His word.  He expects us to walk by faith not by sight.  When Jesus saw the persistence in this man, He said to Him, “Go thy way; thy son liveth!”  The man believed right then without seeing his son, that he was healed.  This is the same response we must have in our lives today when the Lord gives us a Word. 

 

We must have complete faith in what Jesus has spoken into our lives and enter into a place of rest.   Our faith in God should acknowledge the truth of God’s word even when there is no sign to prove it.  We must realize that just like oil and water don’t mix, that faith and common sense can’t live together.  

DON’T GIVE UP ON JESUS!

Good Morning,

I love receiving emails from you, and talking with you.  You have no idea how that blesses my day.  Lately, I have heard so many people crying out from the circumstances that they are going through.  Some of you feel as though you have faced too much opposition.  Some continue to look at their weakness and failures, and some are feeling that they just can’t go on anymore. If you are feeling discouraged and depressed, wondering when the Lord is going to do something in your life, then I pray this message will minister to you and help you through your storm.  

STAY ON THE ROAD

When you travel on a road with a sharp turn, oftentimes it is difficult to see what lies ahead.  All that you can do is to follow the curve of the road until the new stretch of road opens up before you.  Not being able to see around the curve doesn’t stop you from reaching your destination.

In the same way, simply because you do not see your future or your path clearly laid out, it does not mean I have not made a way for you.  It doesn’t mean that you should give up on your dreams.  Just because you cannot see it, doesn’t mean that it’s not there.  I want you to know that I have gone before you and prepared the way.  I will lead you to the land that I have promised you.  I just need you to continue moving.

All you need to do is trust Me and follow the road that I have put you on.  At times you will not understand what I am doing, and you will wish you could see further along. The enemy may put bumps in the road to hinder your journey.  However, it is like that curve in the road, just keep pressing forward and the way will open before you. 

Stay faithful to My words, then soon your heart will be glad and rejoice.  For you will see that I did not leave a single detail out of your future.  You will see that I have prepared the road ahead of you to perfection.  

So stay on the road and trust Me with your future.  Follow the instructions that I have given to you one step at a time, and soon it will open up to reveal the fullness of the new life that I have prepared for you.

Isa. 42:16  And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.

Isa. 45:2  I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:

Pro 3:5-6  Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths
