Seek the Lord

Seek the Lord, all who are humble, and follow his commands. Seek to do what is right and live humbly. Perhaps even yet the Lord will protect you— protect you from his anger on that day of destruction.
Zephaniah 2:3 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/zep.2.3.NLT

Seek me, says the Lord

come after me

and I will save you from my fierce anger

Be diligent and you will find me, says the lord

The day of destruction looms

The day of darkness comes closer

Those whom I seek like lost sheep

Shall be redeemed, says the lord

I am always working

always persevering

You shall be brought into my fold, says the Lord of heaven's armies

Like a Lamb, he was led to the slaughter

pierced and afflicted yet he made no cry

mocked and wounded

He bled for Adam's helpless race

I am the Mighty one, Creator of heaven and earth

I know all things

I stand outside all time and consider the iniquity of men.

Yet I turned from my fierce anger and offered salvation at the very beginning.

Behold the spotless lamb of God who takes upon himself the iniquity of us all

Seek him and you shall find him

Knock and the door will be opened

He shall cleanse you

and make you a prince in his kingdom

Amen

A Bride fit for the Groom

My bride shall model the beauty of holiness. 

I shall clothe her in glory

The feast is ready, the table is prepared, and all of mankind has been invited for the groom has paid their entrance fee with his own blood

The redeemed among the dead are waiting in glory and they have received their reward in full.

Let the redeemed who are still alive model themselves on me, says the lord  

I have invited the lost, the lonely, the disposed of, the barren, and the outcast.

The table stands half empty and I am full of grief 

Does your heart not burn with passion? asks the Lord

They need to be redeemed

There is little time left. 

Tell me who shall bring them? , says the lord     

Do I not search for the lost sheep?

Do I not cleanse the leper?

Do I not open blind eyes?

Do I not make the lame walk?

Do I not feed the hungry?

Let the bride model herself on me, says the lord.     

My bride must prepare herself

I counsel you to buy oil and get yourself ready for marriage.

I tell you now is the time to prepare and get ready

Do not be taken by surprise at the coming of the groom.

Transform Your Mind

My child, you are my most treasured possession

It has always been my desire for you to live an empowered life

Listen to my voice and take heed of my instruction

The Spirit I have given you must work its way out into your soul

Have you not been instructed to work out your salvation with fear and trembling?

Have you not been given the mind of Christ?

Search the scriptures and I shall instruct you.

Are you not amazed by my powerful deeds?

Yet these alone are not enough.

You must worship me in spirit and truth.

The word is living and active.

I have lived within you since you were adopted into my family.

I am your father and you are my child.

Do not be afraid to live out your life without fear

My child become holy as I am holy.

Get rid of all fear and do not submit to it

Father, Let your Holy Spirit dwell within me

Let me not be afraid of man but let me fear God

Let me not be a coward but let me fight God's holy war 

Amen.

The God who sees

 

So that day Moses solemnly promised me, ‘The land of Canaan on which you were just walking will be your grant of land and that of your descendants forever, because you wholeheartedly followed the Lord my God.’ Joshua 14:9 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/jos.14.9.NLT

I am the Lord who sees your need

I have watched over you since the days of your youth

For you are my beloved child and I have seen your need 

I am Jehovah Jireh

I am the Almighty the one who saves

See I have opened heavens gates 

I shall redeem the land you have walked on 

You shall be victorious

You shall inherit the land

Amen

Redemption had always been my plan

 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.

Genesis 1:1‭-‬2 NLT

https://bible.com/bible/116/gen.1.1-2.NLT

I am the lord almighty

Redemption has always been my plan

I have always loved my creation

I formed the earth out of nothing

 There is none like me

I created time and space and matter

I know all things

It is my plan to prosper you

Be amazed at my provision

I redeemed creation at the beginning

The redeemer came to earth and lived among us

He purchased your soul with his own blood

He died and and yet lives forever

He lives inside you

he has given authority to shape and steward the world to all his children

My child use the authority God has given you.

When man's authority works hand in glove with God's power then all things are possible

Amen
