GRIEF

I hear the expression, "Good grief!" often expressed on Earth.  That is a strange expression.  However, the grieving process can be good if the person grieving finds strength from Me during that solemn time.

I was acquainted with grief.  I was a man of sorrows.  I have sent My Holy Spirit, "the Comforter," to help those who have lost a loved one.  You are called to comfort those who mourn.  I have promised to give those who mourn, beauty for ashes and the oil of joy for mourning.

Pray for those who have lost their loved ones.  Pray that they will come to know Me in a more intimate way during their time of mourning.  Assure those who are grieving that their mourning will one day be turned to dancing.  That will happen when they see their loved ones again in heaven.

ISAIAH 53

EXPERIENCE

You will experience both highs and lows in your life.  I did remind My followers that they would have tribulation in the world.  However, they could be of good cheer because I have overcome the
world.

Yes, it is possible for you to experience joy in every situation.  The secret to having such joy is to
abide in Me, abide in My Word, and abide in My love.  As you are faithful to daily do these three things, your joy will never be robbed from you by My enemy, and My joy will be full within you.

It is My very joy that will strengthen you as you face even horrendous trials.  Tap into My joy daily by spending time in My Word, time in My presence, and allow Me to share My love with you so that you will be able to pass My love on to others.

JOHN 16:33; JOHN 15, NEHEMIAH 8:10

RESPECT

You taught your children to respect others and to respect your own possessions and the possessions of others.  I expect the same respect from My beloved.

So many of My beloved pay no attention to the person who is with them.  Instead, they are looking into those little black boxes and carrying on text conversations with their friends while you are trying to have a face to face with them.  Their actions reveal a lack of respect.

You can respect Me by having a listening ear and having a continual face to face conversation with Me throughout the day.  I want you also to have a listening ear to others.  I want you to have eye contact with them, and I want you to speak to them the words that I give you to share with them.
After all, people are My treasured possessions.

LUKE 19:10

REGAIN

There are certain losses that can never be regained in your life on Earth.  When a loved one dies, you cannot regain that loss.  However, I made it possible for you to look forward to seeing that loved one again.  You began your journey into eternity when you accepted Me as your Lord and Savior, and if your loved one was on that same journey, you will see them at your journey's end.

I am the resurrection and the life and the one who believes in Me will never see death.  There is no fear of death for those who believe in Me.  I took away the sting of death and the grave no longer has a victory. 

You will one day regain everything you ever surrendered to Me.  Meditate on that truth, and you will realize that I am not only the resurrection and the life, but I am also the restorer of all things.

JOHN 11:25

 

MEETINGS

I know that after you have attended a conference how you hope that you will never have to attend another committee meeting.  Committee meetings are usually long, laborious, and boring.  There is a committee meeting I want you to attend daily that will never be boring. 


Have you guessed yet what that meeting is?  That committee meeting involves you, My Father. and My Holy Spirit, and Me..  We want to meet with you every day.  We want you to submit your plans to us, your requests to us, and then we want you to listen to our guidance.


When you take time to go to this committee meeting, your day will go much better and you through the power of My Spirit will be fruitful in My kingdom during the day.  Come to this meeting every morning, and you will be amazed at the end of the day how you were blessed and how you were used to bless others.


JOHN 15

CHALLENGE

I realize that My beloved face many challenges as they go through life.  I know how it feels to be overwhelmed by challenges.  I felt that overwhelming challenge when I died on the tree to reconcile you to My Father.


Always remember that I am able to meet every challenge in your life whether or not it might be a health challenge, family challenge or financial challenge. I am able to meet your every need according to My riches in glory.


Face those challenges in your life by taking time to seek My face.  When you seek My face, the things of this earth will grow strangely dim in the light of My glory and grace. My grace is the supernatural ability to meet the challenges that you face in the natural,


PSALM 16

RAIN

There is instruction in My Word to pray for the latter rain.  I know you have asked Me to reveal to you exactly what that means.  There are two rains in Israel-a fall rain and a spring rain.  When you pray for the latter rain, you are praying for a second outpouring of My Holy Spirit. 


The first rain happened at Pentecost, and that was in the spring.  I will be returning at the Feast of Tabernacles and the trumpet will sound during the Feast of Trumpets.  Before My return, I want you to be praying for a great outpouring of My Spirit that will cause a great harvest of souls before My return.


Pray for the latter rain and pray for laborers to gather in this last great harvest.  The beginning of these events as already occurred.  Look forward to your part in gathering in this last harvest of souls.
