Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light (Matthew 11:28-30 NKJV). The Lord has called me and has sent me to share with you His heart for you. He has seen your oppression, your tears, your…..
Those who shut their ears to the cries of the poor will be ignored in their own time of need (Proverbs 21:13). The book of Proverbs tells us plainly that if we shut out the cry of the poor, no one will hear us or respond to us in our own times of need. If we however open our ears to their cry and show mercy and love, in our times of needs, someone else will come to our rescue. …..
Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter— when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood? Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your…..
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16 NKJV). The sight of Jesus stretched out upon the cross in my vision on the night of 8/7/16 is one that I will never forget. Seeing Him like that, so bruised and so sorrowful, drew me for a closer look. I will never forget the way He looked at me as He hung…..
Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 18:3 NIV). In the book of Matthew chapter 18, the disciples of Jesus asked Him, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” In response, Jesus called a little child, placed him in the midst of them and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means…..
Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me. (Psalm 50:15 NKJV) I called upon Jesus from the depths of my soul, with tears streaming down my face. He turned and looked down upon me with great love and compassion. While I was still telling Him about all my struggles, He answered my prayer and He met every single one of my needs. He delivered me from all harm and danger and…..
To whom then will you liken Me, or to whom shall I be equal?” says the Holy One (Isaiah 40:25 NKJV). Thus says the Lord: “I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me? Is the LORD’s arm too short? Now you will see whether or not what I say will come true for you. For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and do not return there, but water the…..
If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you (John 15:7 NKJV). In the passage above, Jesus gave two conditions or keys to receiving answers to our prayers. We need to abide in Him and His words abide in us. The psalmist David rightly said, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path” (Psalm 119:105 KJV). The Word of…..
Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me (Luke 9:23 NIV). What does it mean to deny self, take up our cross and follow after Jesus? It means to turn away from our selfish ways and ambitions and humbly submit our will to God. This means we say no to our selfish desires and yes to the will of God. It is dying to sin daily and asking God to…..
Be angry, and do not sin, do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil (Ephesians 4:26-27 NKJV). Just over a year ago, I had a vision in which the Holy Spirit, in the form of a new born baby, sat upon my left shoulder and told me that He has come to lead and direct me. After this announcement, He charged me to live a life free from sin. His exact words…..
