June 26, 2006 – BEFORE THE CRADLE, AFTER THE GRAVE, I AM
Exodus 3:14 God said to Moses, “I Am Who I Am.” This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I Am has sent me to you.‘
“FROM THE BEGINNING, BEFORE YOU WERE EVEN FORMED, I KNEW YOUR FLAWED NATURE AND THAT IT WOULD BRING DISHONOR. I SAW THE EXTENT OF YOUR PRIDE AND KNEW THAT IT WOULD CAUSE YOU TO FALL. YOUR APPETITES AND DESIRES WERE TAINTED AND WOULD DESTROY YOU. YOUR HEART WAS DECEIVED AND DESPERATELY WICKED. THE SIN WITHIN YOU WILL ALWAYS DUPLICATE ITSELF. Isaiah 64:8 Yet, O LORD, you are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand. 9 Do not be angry beyond measure, O LORD; do not remember our sins forever. Oh, look upon us, we pray, for we are all your people.”
“WHILE YOU WERE YET A SINNER I LOVED YOU AND PLANNED YOUR ESCAPE FROM BONDAGE. I DESIRED ABOVE ALL ELSE THAT YOU BECOME A ‘TREE’ IMPLANTED IN MY ETERNALKINGDOM. WHEN YOU BEGAN TO YIELD UNTO ME I STARTED TO USE MY POWER AND SPIRIT TO FORM YOU INTO A ‘TREE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS’. Jeremiah 17:8 He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” Isaiah 61:3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion – to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor.”
“BEFORE TIME BEGAN I ORDAINED FOR YOU ‘A PROCESS OF REBIRTH AND PERFECTION’ SO YOU COULD BE MADE ANEW AND WALK WORTHY OF THE MASTER’S USE.” Jeremiah 18:4 But the pot he (THE MASTER POTTER) was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him. “FROM AMONG THE APOSTLES I PREDESTINED, I ONLY LOST ONE. JUDAS WAS NOT MALLEABLE IN THE MASTER POTTER’S HANDS AND HE KNOWINGLY CHOSE HIS DESTINY.” Acts 1:20 “For,” said Peter, “it is written in the book of Psalms, “‘May his place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in it,’ and, “‘May another take his place of leadership(SPEAKING OF JUDAS). “YOU HAVE A CHOICE TO HEED OR IGNORE THE VOICE OF MY SPIRIT. ONE DECISION WILL BRING YOU TO ETERNAL LIFE AND GREAT BLESSINGS, THE OTHER WILL BRING UPON YOU MY WRATH THAT LEADS TO ETERNAL SEPARATION FROM ME. I SEND THE WRATH TO CAUSE YOU TO CONSIDER EARNESTLY YOUR DECISION.”
“HOW CAN YOU SAY TO ME, ‘WHY DID YOU FORM ME THUS’? THE ORIGINAL CLAY IS MARRED BY ADAM’S DISOBEDIENCE, BUT I AM THE ‘MASTER POTTER’ AND I CAN CHOOSE TO TAKE A ‘VESSEL OF DISHONOR’ AND MAKE IT INTO A ‘VESSEL OF HONOR’. THE CHOICE IS YOURS. YOU MUST BE WILLING TO LET ME RECREATE YOU. I MUST FIRST BREAK THE MARRED VESSEL ON THE WHEEL AND THEN RECREATE IT. I TAKE THAT WHICH IS EVIL AND TURN IT INTO GOOD. Isaiah 64:8 Yet, O LORD, you are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand. Isaiah 41:10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
“IF YOU LOVE ME AND ARE OBEDIENT, EVERYTHING WILL WORK TOGETHER FOR YOUR GOOD AND YOU WILL BECOME A VESSEL OF HONOR. AFTER I FOREKNEW YOU, I PREPARED YOUR DESTINY. YOUR DESTINY IS BOUND UP IN MY PERFECT WILL FOR YOU. FIRST, YOU MUST BE CONFORMED TO THE IMAGE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS OF MY SON. I HAVE PLANNED ALL OF YOUR STEPS. IF YOU WALK IN THE LIGHT WITH MY SON, YOU WILL BE ‘CALLED TO SON SHIP, JUSTIFIED THROUGH HIS BLOOD, AND GLORIFIED TO BRING GLORY TO MY NAME. IT IS NOT BY MIGHT OR BY POWER BUT IT IS BY MY SPIRIT’S INDWELLING THAT THE WORLD CAN SEE CHRIST WITHIN YOU. ALL OF THE SUFFERINGS OF THIS PRESENT TIME ARE NOTHING COMPARED TO THE GLORY THAT I WILL REVEAL WITHIN YOU.” Romans 8:14 because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of son ship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”
“REGARDLESS OF THE TURMOIL THAT YOU SEE WITH YOUR EYES AND THE TUMULT THAT YOU HEAR WITH YOUR EARS, KEEP YOUR EYES FOCUSED ON ME! NEVER LET YOUR FAITH AND TRUST WAVER BY WHAT YOU PERCEIVE!” Psalms 91:11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; 12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. 13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent. 14 “Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. 15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation.”
“ALWAYS BE OF A BROKEN AND CONTRITE SPIRIT; BE MALLEABLE, TRAINABLE, AND TEACHABLE. ALLOW ME TO ‘BE YOUR LIFE’. I KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THE THINGS YOU CAN’T SEE AND THE HIDDEN THINGS YOU DO NOT PERCEIVE. YOU KNOW THAT SATAN PLANS YOUR DESTRUCTION, BUT I ALWAYS PLAN YOUR DELIVERANCE AND BLESSINGS. I WILL WORK EVERY EVIL FOR THE ‘GOOD’ OF MY CHILDREN. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ‘BELIEVE AND KNOW’ THAT MY LOVE WILL NEVER LET YOU GO NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU. Romans 8:31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.”
“FAITH AND TRUST IN MY SON ARE PRICELESS; YOU CANNOT BUY IT OR EARN IT, IT IS MY GIFT TO YOU. John 6:33 For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” DEVELOP YOUR FAITH AND ASK ME TO HELP YOUR UNBELIEF. WITHOUT FAITH YOU CANNOT RECEIVE MY BLESSINGS. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU WILL FACE TOMORROW, MUCH LESS IN THE WEEKS AND YEARS TO COME. IT WILL BE YOUR FAITH IN CHRIST THAT WILL BRING YOU THROUGH AND WORK EVERYTHING FOR YOUR GOOD. YOU WILL SOAR ABOVE YOUR DIFFICULTIES AND ALWAYS TRIUMPH OVER ADVERSITY. Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Hebrews 11:32 And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel and the prophets, 33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, 34 quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies.”
“UNTIL I RETURN FOR YOU, KEEP ON LIFTING ME UP THAT I MIGHT DRAW ALL MEN UNTO ME. WORSHIP, PRAISE, AND REJOICE THROUGH MY SON, FOR I HAVE WRITTEN YOUR NAME IN THE ‘BOOK OF LIFE’. YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR BUT YOUR OWN UNBELIEF. PROCLAIM MY FAITHFULNESS TO MY CHILDREN AND SHOW FORTH MY LOVE. I AM COMING SOON TO BRING YOU UNTO MYSELF. John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. CHEER ONE ANOTHER WITH THESE WORDS.”
