May God's Peace Abide with You

As I was praying and worshipping in the presence of God today, the Spirit of the Lord began to speak to me and God instructed me to write the words below.  They are not my own words; they are the words of Jesus to you.  I pray you are blessed as you read.

This is what He had to say to you:

“I am the LORD, the Creator of every living thing; I am your all in all.  What would you like me to be to you in this hour?  I am your peace, your keeper, your rear guard and your defence.  I am everything, your all in all.  I am your deliverer, your friend, your Saviour and King.  I am willing and able to do exceedingly more than you can ever expect or think.  I am your all in all.  I am your provider, your peace and all that you can imagine me to be.  I am the Lamb of God.  The Lamb that was slain, the King that laid down His life for you.  I paid the ultimate price for your life, the price that no man could pay.  I am your all in all.  I laid down my life and shed my blood for you and I gave you the victory through the blood that I shed on Calvary.  I have given you the power to overcome all the powers of darkness.  I am your all in all.  My grace is sufficient for you and my mercy and faithfulness is with you at all times.  Where sin abounds, grace abounds even more.  I am your all in all.  I am your peace in troubled times, your wisdom and your hope.  I took your shame and gave you confidence.  When you fall down I pick you up.  You are mine and I am yours.  I am the Lamb of God that was slain.  I died for you so that you might be free from all burdens that weigh on you.  I died so you can be free from guilt and shame.  You are my treasure and my precious jewel.  I am your all in all.  I am your all in all.  I am everything you can ever need in this life.  Without me in your life, there is no hope for tomorrow.  I am your peace.  I am the way, the truth and the life.  I am the way into eternity, I am the life in you, I am the One that makes a way where there seems to be no way.  I am the One that has kept you alive, I gave my last breath for you.  I am the One that called you and justified you.  I shed my blood for you and I made a way into eternal salvation.  My blood is the one and only sacrifice that is acceptable to God.  There is no other way to the Father, but by me.  Come unto me when you are weary and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.  I am your peace.  I am the one who has all the power to carry your burdens.  I will give you my yoke that is easy and my burden that is light.  I am the one who has the wisdom to lead you and give you direction.  I was here before the world began.  Before you were formed in your mother’s womb, I knew you.  I am the Son of God, I am Emmanuel God with us, I am the Bread of life, the Rose of Sharon and the Lilly of the valley.  I was sent to you to serve you and lift you out of the miry clay.  No man can measure my worth.  I took you out of the miry clay and set your feet on the solid Rock of salvation.  I was crucified and laid behind the stone.  I lived to die, rejected and alone.  I did all this because of you.  It was you I was thinking of above all, I was thinking about you then, I am thinking about you now and I shall be thinking about you for eternity.  I am praying for you even now.  My mercy is with you and my faithfulness will not depart from you.  You are mine and I am yours.  I am the One that was sent to set the captives free.  I love you more than you can imagine.  My love for you is immeasurable; it goes beyond what words can describe.  Don’t give up on me, I am here for you and speaking to you right now.  Let me help you and set you free.  I died for you and for all that you stand for.  I took the shame, the guilt, rejection and all the abuse because of you.  It was you I was thinking of all along, I thought of you and took it all.  Above all, you are mine says the Lord, and I love you with an everlasting love.”

God loves you and wants you to experience peace in this life and in the life to come.  The Bible says we can only have peace through our Lord Jesus Christ. 

“We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Romans 5:1)

We can only experience peace, abundance and eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ, so I would like to lovingly encourage you that if you do not know Jesus Christ to please confess the prayer below.  God bless you as do so.

Amen.

You Are A Nugget of Gold

The Lord spoke to me the other day and said I should let you know that in His eyes He sees you as a nugget of gold.  To Him you are highly valuable.  Gold is a relatively rare element.  The Lord says I should tell you that you a rare gem, you are worth dying for; this is why He sent His Son to die for you.  He said He came to seek you out so you might be free and have abundant life.  In 1 Peter 2:9, the Bible calls us a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people...we are God’s special people, you are chosen and you are special.  He says He loves you with an everlasting love, although you might not know or feel it, His love for you is constant and unwavering.  He says, “I love you just the way you are, I chose you, I predestined and appointed you.  You are my nugget of gold.” 

^“ But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;  who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.”        (1 Peter 2:9-10)

You are chosen, you are royal, you are holy and you are special.  You see, you are important to God, you are not a mistake, you are not insignificant, and you are not without purpose.  He created you for a purpose; He chose you and made you His own special person.  You are highly valuable.  You are a nugget of gold.  He called you out of darkness into His marvellous light.  How wonderful is that!  I pray you are comforted and reassured by the fact that you were created for a purpose and for such a time as this.  Your purpose is to make the world a better place.  You were created to beautify the world, you are a gift to humanity, a nugget of gold, a rare gem and He sees you as beautiful.  You were created in God’s image.  The Bible says in Genesis 1:26-28:

²⁶ Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” ²⁷ So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. ²⁸ Then God blessed them,...”

The Bible says, “Then God blessed them,...”  You are blessed!  You see, God has already blessed and given you dominion; all you need to do is receive your blessing by faith and thank Him in the midst of your pain, thank Him in the midst of your tears, thank Him that He has already blessed you.  In good and bad times give Him thanks.  I know things may not be easy right now and it is difficult to give thanks when you are going through a lot, but giving God thanks in the midst of trouble is what opens the door of blessing into our lives.  This is what turns our disappointments into blessings.  

The Bible says, “Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.” (Psalm 30:5)  I pray you will not be discouraged and cast away your confidence.  Don’t listen to the lies of the devil, you are already blessed.  The devil is a thief and the Bible says the thief has come to steal, to kill and to destroy.  “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10)  You must not let the devil steal your joy, your vision, your purpose and your destiny.  I pray that your destiny will not be cut off and that you will have abundant life in Christ Jesus.

Thus says the Lord to you:

“I justified you, I created and fashioned you.  You are beautiful in my eyes, you are not ugly, none of mine are ugly, so stop looking down and thinking negative thoughts of yourself.  Stop thinking like there is no hope for tomorrow.  I am with you through the thick and thin, I am with you when you are in the valley, I am with you when you are lonely, I am with you when you feel rejected and abandoned, I am with you at all times and I have made a way out for you, put your trust in me and don't doubt.  When I call out to you, I wish you would listen and just obey instead of doubting and not believing.  I am here to help and deliver you from every affliction of the devil.  I have made a way for you where there seems to be no way.  You are my nugget of gold; I cherish and love you more than anything.  You are mine and I watch over you all the time.  I have given my Angels charge over you to keep and watch over you night and day. 

Do you not know that the devil is jealous of you and tries to discourage you because he knows I will give everything for you?  Don’t believe those negative voices you are hearing, that is the voice of the evil one, cast it out and don’t receive it.  Reject those voices and don’t entertain them.  There is a way out of the darkness.

Today, I want you to know that you are worth much more than many sparrows; you are my nugget of gold. I am still working in you, you are not perfect at all, but I am perfecting everything that concerns you, so be patient, I am working it all out for you. Like gold, you are malleable in my hands. I am moulding and shaping you into what I want you to be. You are mine and I love you just the way you are. I want you to be yourself and not criticize yourself. Be yourself and don’t be like someone else. I am in you and you are in me. You are my nugget of gold and I love and cherish you just for who you are!"

My scripture for you is in Psalm 9:9-10,

"The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed,

A refuge in times of trouble.

And those who know Your name will put their trust in You;

For You, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You."

God bless you as you continue to stand in these troubled times.
