Blood


How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death so that we may serve the living God! Hebrews 9:14... 


In the KJV, the word blood appears 447 times. The word bloody appears 16 times.

Meaning of Blood: the red liquid that circulates in the arteries and veins of humans and other vertebrate animals, carrying oxygen to and carbon dioxide from the tissues of the body:

To endure the most incredible pain humanly possible for a LOVE greater than one can ever describe. The very beat of our hearts depends on a life source rich with healing and cleaning properties.  What is this miracle substance, and how does it relate to the masterpiece we know as the Bible? It flows effortlessly through our earthly bodies from the beginning of time.  We cannot sustain life without it.

So how and why did Jesus give us such a precious, monumental gift?  The how breaks the heart of believers. To give this gift, He endured a torturous crucifixion. A punishment primarily reserved for the most vicious of male criminals. Why?  I don’t understand? He was innocent and so pure, so loving. 

To read the description of this vicious punishment wounds my soul and makes my heart bleed. It was torturous, inhumane, cruel, and humiliating. Even before the cross, His body began to shed blood. He wore a crown of thorns. He was beaten and whipped. Yet he never wavered or stopped His love flow for others... As he stumbled and traveled on the road we know as The Via Dolorosa, he carried the very cross that would hold His battered body.  I am sure His blood stained the journey to His date with destiny! 

Once he arrived at His destination, His Hands and Feet were nailed to the cross. Again, His blood spilled. There was no escape. His precious blood continued to spill. As he suffered. His breathing became labored. His heart struggled to keep the blood flowing.  Tears of blood were shed. His body pierced a final time. As he whispered, “It is finished.” The final drops of blood fell. Leaving His body void of life. The earth became dark. His mother wept. Her heart must have shattered! What a horrific sight. 

My heart hurts knowing the blood He spilled was for me. How, Why?  What kind of LOVE is this? It’s Holy, Royal, and the most beautiful sacrifice of LOVE we will ever grow to know. But why still baffles me?  I do not truly understand the ritual of cleansing sin by sacrificing a perfect lamb.  Our beautiful Savior? The reason given is for the atonement of our sins? No matter how insignificant we feel, our sins are? It’s a ritual that wounds my heart. To kill a living animal or a person just because people could not follow the rules and examples set by God. 

This ritual is from a time in our history when God felt it necessary to save the people He lovingly created. However, we fell short so many times. We let Him down 🩸. I by no means want to question God.  I am sure He knows why, and maybe it's not for me to fully understand the dynamics of a Blood Sacrifice.  I may not understand why. I can only LOVE Him for giving me the most beautiful gift I will ever grow to know! He gave me the gift of Him! All of Him, His Blood, His last breath, His Love!!  

It’s Him; it’s always Him!  

It’s the most amazing LOVE story ever told. 

I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me. Proverbs 8:17

“In whom we have redemption through his blood, Ephesians 1:7

Prophecy


"And the angel said to them, 'Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.' Luke 2:10.

 

What is the meaning of the word prophecy? A prophecy is a message inspired by God, a divine revelation. 

 

The word prophet appears in approximately 65 verses in the Bible. 

 

I say WOW.... again WOW... I see so many messages with claims that God told them to share these thoughts and nuggets of information with the masses. There are so many ?? There are many claims so hold on to your hat because the storm and horrific things are on the horizon. OMG! 

 

The thought of discovering which one if any is truly a message from God can be mind-boggling... And can make many physically worried and or sick! 

 

When I googled the word prophecy my feed hit overload.. My eyes widened, my breathing became labored.. and the thoughts of what is to come sent my mind in overload... yikes 😳

 

The times ahead can be a scary thought. 

 

However, my relationship with God gives me peace in my soul that He is in control. He has revealed to me a LOVE for His children that is beyond our own human understanding. Is that a prophecy? If I look at the meaning of the word prophecy then that is indeed a prophetic statement. 

 

I would rather stand on the prophetic words “God's LOVE” than any other message. I have chosen to look ahead through the spiritual eyes God has given us. I chose to look to Him and only Him... 

 

I do believe He speaks through a chosen few.. not the masses. But He is accessible to anyone who listens and spends time with Him. Anyone that will open their heart and soul and let Him in. I do believe that messages from God are messages that will not make us run around like Chicken Little saying the “Sky is falling”. 


I do believe. We must not make light of any message heard... But !  we must investigate, we must sift all messengers, and their words through God’s heart and test it against God's word. 


I feel many study the word and then twist it to make themselves feel important in the eyes of man. Many use scare tactics to bring attention to themselves, under the premise of "God Said". I do believe we must arm ourselves with God! His Love and His word so we can see through false words with our own spiritual eyes... 


And if things in our future look scary stick close to Him... He is our protection. He is our future. He is our light source. He is our First Love, He is our All. Don’t wait for an intermediary to tell you what may come .. God will tell us what He wants us to know.. in His timing... He knows if He reveals too much many will carry unnecessary anxiety and fear... 


He is the God of Peace. He is the God of Love. And when we trust Him for our soul's future, we can lay our heads down at night knowing He’s Got This !!! Today, Tomorrow, and Forevermore!  Stand back and watch Him !!! 


He WOWs me!!! 

 

It’s Him, It’s always Him! 🥰

 

Tune in and listen with Soulful ears, watch with soulful eyes. Love and Trust Him with all your soul, all your heart, and all your might! 

 

“When people speak messages on God's behalf, do not refuse to listen. Instead, think carefully about everything, to see if it is true. Remember to obey anything that is good. But keep away from any kind of bad thing.”1 Thessalonians 5:20-22 EASY

 

“But when someone prophesies, he speaks to encourage people, to build them up, and to bring them comfort.” 1 Corinthians 14:3 TPT

 

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

 

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13

 

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal 2 Corinthians 4:17-18

Callous Heart

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. 4 Luke 6:35...


I originally posted this post on Oct. 2020. But I stumbled over it again this week and felt it in my soul to share it once again. 


When someone is not thoughtful and opens a wound in the heart of another and selfishly turns away.  Are they so self-absorbed they can not see the injury they cause or does it go much deeper? Turning away no matter the reason is callous and does not diminish the action that caused the pain. It does not make the pain nonexistent. It can actually make the wound deeper and takes the wound longer to heal.  Turning away is something I will never understand ??? I hope and pray that I could never be that person. My heart would not allow my mind to rest knowing I caused anyone that kind of pain.💔


Jesus knows this kind of pain, He personally has felt the anguish that this type of action causes.   He trusted 12 men that walked the earth with Him.  They all professed to love Him and they all acted like His friend. Callously one by one they all turned away. Leaving Him to stand alone in His darkest hour and yet ... HE LOVED  them anyway...  His strength along with His indescribable LOVE for us reaches far beyond heaven and earth. This kind of  LOVE  boggles my mind and leaves me standing in awe... I cried out, please teach me how to love like you do.

 

My Father's love and time have taught me when your heart is wounded by someone and you can find it in your soul not to callously respond.  But, instead, you reach out and offer them your unconditional love, expecting nothing in return...   That my friend is how and when the greatest internal transformation of your heart occurs. The chains are broken, the wounds heal, and you are freed to experience the most incredible unselfish love known to mankind! You will be filled with an unexplainable peace in your heart and a deep understanding that will soothe your soul. It's amazing!


Our Father will always welcome us with the warmth of his open arms, He will never turn us away .. NEVER ...  He WOWs me!!! 😍


It's Him, It's always Him

 

Please watch the video

 

 

🙏 My Prayer 🙏

 

Life on earth can change in the blink of an eye. So, I ask our Father to guide us in this troubled world.. Help us be filled with his light, allowing us to show his love, compassion, kindness, and forgiveness to anyone that may cross our path. If we can help touch one hurting heart and let them know, It's going to be OK our father is a great healer of hearts...  He is the prince of peace. He offers us, unconditional LOVE. All we need to do is open our hearts to Him. And His LOVE will take us on the most incredible journey of our LIVES.  

 

I am grateful for the gift of you!

War


 

Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that. Martin Luther King - 

 

Meaning of war: a state of armed conflict between different nations or states or different groups within a nation or state:

 

There are approximately 22 verses pointing to war in the Bible.  And it seems that there are nine wars in the end times and that Armageddon relates to only one of these.  That may be scary to many.

 

However when I think of war. I think of the devastation it causes. The life, property, and relationships it destroys.  The shattered hopes, fractured dreams, and our fragile future hangs in the balance... War affects us on all levels... It does this globally, it does this between nations, and between all humanity.   

 

As I studied the word war. I began to see this word on a much more personal level. I see many of us today fighting a war against the darkness in our world. It’s against an invisible enemy. It can manifest itself as many things. Some call it covid 19. Some call it society, politics, or religion. Some call it fear of the unknown. Some call it anxiety. Some call it depression and there are so many more labels... 


Many have retreated to a safe place. Some have hidden in the cold

darkness that can consume them.  Some continue to have that raging war within. This one is the most difficult to escape. It haunts the very corridors of our troubled minds. It invades our peace and eventually, it erodes our physical health... Are we lost? Who holds the answers? Who can rescue us from ourselves?? 


Some have managed to find peace and love in the midst of the storm. 


But How? What is the secret? Who holds the answers?

 

I have witnessed the power in His name! I have felt a love that can create miracles. I have seen hearts come out of darkness into the light... There is only one name that brings such peace, such beauty, such grace, and such unity. 

 

How do we not see Him, How do we not hear His Voice? How do we not LOVE Him with every fiber of our being ??? I will stand tall and tell you He holds the key to our hearts, our souls, and our lives... 


I admit. It has taken me a while to see Him. It has taken me a while to hear His voice! But it is not going to take me a while to share Him !!!! 

All remedies point to Him!! 

 

It’s Him, It’s always Him !!! 

 

There is no other name before Him!!! I call him Elohim !!! I call Him Yeshua, I call Him Holy Spirit. But all of these names point to God,

and yes He still WOW's me.

 

Ephesians 6:13 “Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.

 

Revelation 21:7 “Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children.”

 

Matthew 24:6 “You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.”

Meditation / Be Lit





Let your light shine before men, that. they may see your good works, and. glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 5:16..

Meditation moment shared from my heart. 


The room was cold and dimly lit. I settled into my zero gravity chair and covered with a warm blanket. I tried to settle my thoughts. I began to breathe in a few short breaths and let them out slowly... 


In my mind's eye, I found myself in a cathedral sitting in a pew. 


When suddenly Jesus appeared from the ceiling floating down slowly into the room. He softly landed and walked to me. He reached for my hand and led me and I followed.  We came to a rooftop like setting. We could see a dark city. He held my hand and we floated to a place where we were standing on a glass floor. We could see the dark city below.   


He began to point His finger to the buildings below. As He pointed at the window, a light began to spill out a warm glow. He pointed to another window, and again a light began to spill out a warm glow. He did this several times. I felt like he was showing me that His light was indeed reaching souls.


He smiled. And then He held my hand and slowly walked to a bench just a few steps away. We sat down. I snuggled in close and suddenly I felt a rushing but gentle wind behind me, and these giant white wings appeared they seemed to be coming from His back. They opened fully I could see the delicate feathers.. the softness and beauty they seem to reach at least 6 feet on either side... I seem to be unafraid, I seemed to be at peace like this was a normal everyday occurrence. 


I placed my hand on his chest and my head on His shoulder.. and His wings and His arms wrapped me into the most beautiful loving moment in time... we lingered there for a while.


and then suddenly I was there alone. 


I walked to the middle of the glass floor... I raised my arms palms up.. with my head looked upward,  and there I stood, and this thought crossed my mind...There are still so many dark windows... 


And just as soon as that thought crossed my mind.  I could see windows being lit some shining bright some just showing a small flicker in darkness ... The image stayed for a few seconds as the music played, and then the moment faded and the music ended. 


I can only pray that if you read this, Your flicker turns into a flame 🔥.


Be kind, Be loved, Be Lit !


"The angel of the Lord appears to Hager. The angel speaks as God in the first person, and in verse 13 Hagar identifies "the LORD that spake unto her" as "Thou God seest me. Genesis 16:7-14


 “And before the throne, there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.

 

And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him, and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.”

Revelation 4:6, 8 KJV

Invite


As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love 
John 15:9-10

Invite an invitation:informal.  make a polite, formal, or friendly request to (someone) to go somewhere or to do something:

 

There are 52 verses referring to invitations. 

 

Have you ever wanted to be invited to the most amazing affair? Have you checked the mailbox with bated breath? But to your disappointment and dismay, it never came ??? 

 

It can be a difficult moment to know you are not part of the inner circle worthy of being a part of such an amazing celebration ??? 

 

In your mind, you can only imagine such a spectacular affair... The room has such beauty it will take your breath away... it’s dimly lit. Everything is so white it seems to glow with an essence of love... the tables are round, with beautiful white linen table cloths... the place settings are made up of beautiful china with 24-carat gold inlays ..  the utensils are gold ... each one so intricately carved with a beautiful monogram ... the centerpiece is made of the most beautiful white flowers with just a hint of light green leaves... when looking up you see the most beautiful diamond chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.. each diamond creating a soft prism of light dancing across the room ... wow the room is filled with a beautiful aroma of frankincense. The room is full of beautiful people all dressed in white and all showing their beautiful smiles .. many were talking but you could not hear anything but the sounds of the beautiful music. We all had the excitement of waiting. But what or who are we waiting for? 

 

Suddenly we heard trumpets.. the lights went dim .. and all eyes seemed to focus on the large beautiful white and gold doors as they opened..  and then.. the light filled the room. Many gasped to see the beauty set before them..tears began to stream down many faces as hearts filled with an unexplainable love ... I thought WOW where am I? Who is this? Whose party is this? And then I held my fork to look closer at the monogram. I had to smile as I ran my fingers over the monogram I heard whispers from the crowd.  

 

It’s Him, It’s always Him 

 

And as I examined the Monogram.  I heard my heart whisper omg  JC.. and tears began to softly stream down my face. I thought I made it!  I am here ... 

 

And as that thought came to my mind, I heard the most beautiful voice. It’s a voice that has spoken to my soul. And in a soft whisper, I heard the most beautiful words spoken ... Welcome my beloved it's you. It’s you I have been waiting for. Every head bowed and every hand raised in complete surrender to the greatest Love we will ever know.. 

 

I say wow.. so how do we get invited to such an affair ??  Love is the only answer. 

 

It’s Him it’s always Him.   Love Him with all your heart, soul, and might... He is in process of making the guest list don’t be left standing at the mailbox waiting... 

 

Let us be glad and shout with joy, and let us give glory to Him; for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife (the bride) has made herself ready (Revelation 19:7) HBFV


And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Matthew 25:10

Captured


You will never look into the eyes of someone God does not love. 

 

The meaning of Captured the action of capturing or of being captured:  take into one's possession or control by force:

 

The word captured in the Bible is in 198 instances. 

 

We are all so busy doing life??  Even when a virus slammed on the brakes many continued to show that life goes on.

 

Many have searched to find answers. What is important? What truly captures our hearts?  

 

Is it that career? That beautiful pair of Balmain crystal-embellished pointed pumps? Is it the roar of the engine of the new Bugatti La Voiture Noire? 


Or is it as simple as a bouquet of long stem roses?  

 

Or is it a greater love? To live in this world without this love would be void of life...  

 

This love is so rich. It’s priceless.  It transcends all time and space. It will capture your heart and whisper love to your soul. It will intoxicate your senses with its sweet fragrance.  The richness of life that is shared is beyond human understanding ... The promise of this love is a gift of everlasting proportions. The question becomes ... Is your heart truly captured? Or have you willingly surrendered?  

 

So where do we find this gift? 


I assure you Amazon does not deliver this gift. You can not buy this love online. You must seek it, with all your heart, all your soul, and all your might.  It is the greatest gift of love. It is the beginning and the end. It is the Alpha and Õmega. This love is the very reason we exist.

 

Its Him,  Its always Him  

 

You've captured my heart, dear friend. You looked at me, and I fell in love. SOS 4:9-16 


You didn’t choose me, but I’ve chosen and commissioned you to go into the world to bear fruit. And your fruit will last because whatever you ask of my Father, for my sake, he will give it to you! So this is my parting command: Love one another deeply!” John 15:16-17. The Passion Translation


 “ The day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up” (2 Peter 3:10, NKJV;) 

 

I do believe this love will continue to transcend all time and all space... for eternity... 🕊✝
