But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13-14..
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
See, I am doing something new. In Christ, I put your life on track with no looking back. Full steam ahead—life from the dead—grace beyond measure filled with the treasure of lost things found, so grace may abound.
In Jesus, Heaven and earth meet, mysteries unfold, hidden from old, now revealed to My prophets of this day for I will show you how to reveal Christ to the world as My gift of love come down from above every good thing given and perfect gift received from Me, the Father of light who makes your path bright increasing in clarity like the light of dawn to perfect day as I lead you in the most extraordinary way.
In Jesus, I have made the fruit of the tree of life available to you. It is His body and blood that hung upon the tree of the Cross and was taken down for your sanctification, redemption, and glorification, for your joy to be full and overflowing in knowing that I am here for you forever. My Words are sure, making you secure in salvation in every situation, not just now and then, but constantly, consistently, and eternally.
I have given you joy—a joy bubbling up in the fountain of life in your soul. I am your strength and song. With Me you will never go wrong.
Listen for I am speaking shalom peace to My people. All is well. The world is getting darker but I have rescued you out of the darkness to sing in My wonderful light. Remember when My people were still wandering in the wilderness, where they had chosen to stay instead of doing My Will for their lives and entering the promised land, they needed water and I told them to sing to the place of a well and they sang, “Spring up, O well! Sing to it!” Numbers 21:17. And up it bubbled. And that is not the only time I tell you to sing to bring up the living water.
I will give thanks to You, O LORD; for although You were angry with me, Your anger is turned away, and You comfort me. Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; for the LORD God is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation. Therefore you will joyously draw water from the springs of salvation. And in that day you will say, ‘Give thanks to the LORD, call on His name. Make known His deeds among the peoples; make them remember that His name is exalted.’ Praise the LORD in song, for He has done excellent things; let this be known throughout the earth. Cry aloud and shout for joy, O inhabitant of Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 12.
If only people would come to Me so I can teach them to profit and they way they should go to grow and glow.
Why did I send Jesus? Why did I give you the gift of Jesus? Very simple. I wanted you to come to Me with no hindrances. I wanted you back in My house of prayer where My banner over you is love. Prayer is very important in your life, and that is why I emphasize it so much and tell you to pray without ceasing, it is the way you draw close and hear from Me. When Adam rejected My Word, he rejected fellowship with Me and that was what I missed the most. I sought you to have you back again in My house.
Please consider Psalm 23 and you will understand. It begins in the serene place of Eden where I meet with you in the green pastures beside the waters of peace and instruct and lead you in paths of righteousness as My children called by My Name. A family of righteousness with Me as I lead you in your dominion authority.
“The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.” Psalm 23:1-3.
But suddenly everything changes. You leave that place of repose and the paths of righteousness. You get off that path and go in a dark valley where now the shadow of death is upon you. But your good Shepherd is with you, seeking you, trying to call you back.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:4.
But notice He sticks with you, seeking to protect you from the darkness, from the fear. And how does He finally get you out of the dark valley of the shadow of death into which your rejection of My guidance led you? By feeding you at the banquet table of My Word and bringing you under His anointing, making you a kingdom, priests unto Me. Under the anointing of the anointed One, whom I sent to save you from your destructions, you are called out of darkness into My own wonderful light, the overflowing, abundant life that I sent Jesus to give you.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; my cup overflows. Psalm 23:5.
But you notice, you must feed at My table, even in the presence of the evil one and his demon band, to come out of that dark valley and get under the anointed One and His anointing. Feeding on My Word you become strong and know how to answer that deceiver with the truth of who you are in Christ that will set you free from all his wiles and tactics to steal your identity a second time. Learn from Me and do not let the evil one take you off course back into the darkness of the valley of the shadow of death.
And where through all this is the Shepherd leading you? That is, if you will follow Him back to the table of the Word, which you had forsaken, and back under His anointing. He is bringing you right into My throne room, right back into My house of abundance to make you joyful in My house of prayer. And My house is a house of prayer for all people.
Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.” Psalm 23:6.
Yes, seated in My house high above your enemies at the wedding feast of the Lamb. And with joy I can shower My goodness and lovingkindness upon you as you open your heart in prayer to receive it. And the mission of the great good Shepherd is complete. You are securely seated in Him back in My house at My right hand. In Jesus, you are back upon the throne of the Son of Man where you began but abdicated to Satan until Jesus took it back for you and dethroned Satan from the place he stole from you.
When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions, having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through the cross.
In Jesus, you take back your true identity which the devil stole by deception and misrepresentation, as he still seeks to do, and took back your dominion authority to rule and reign in life through Christ through receiving the abundance of My grace and the gift of righteousness that I sent Him to give you. I have redeemed you from sin by His blood, peace through the blood of the cross.
Yes, Psalm 23 is the story of your Salvation – beginning in the fellowship of the abundance of the Garden of Eden in perfect fellowship as I lead you in paths of righteousness, and then your going off into the dark valley of the shadow of death but your great good Shepherd never leaving you, but laying down His life to bring you out of the dark valley by feeding you at the banquet table of His Word, treading down your enemies as you feed your faith and grow in His grace, born again by the imperishable Word, coming under the anointed One and His anointing as the Oil of Joy flows down over your heads and fills up your cup until it overflows, and then surrounding and pursuing you with My goodness and lovingkindness as I seat you with Christ back on the throne of the Son of Man in Jesus in My house, the very Holy of holies, forever.
You now can stay deep within Me in the very Holy of holies led there by your forerunner, Jesus your great High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. And you have the same anointing as My royal priesthood. And that anointing is the anointing with the oil of joy. You cannot but help be filled with joy and the Holy Spirit if you are in Christ, the Messiah, the anointed One, and under His anointing. I anointed Jesus with the Holy Spirit, that is, with the Holy Spirit together as One, for the Holy Spirit too is a priest forever, for He is Melchizedek. The King of Righteousness, the Priest of the Most High, and King of Peace, for it is My Holy Spirit within you that makes you holy.
Once you believe in the gospel of your Salvation, you are sealed by the anointing into Jesus by the Holy Spirit. And with the Holy Spirit in you, you can never go to hell for holiness cannot go with unclean spirits. They are not compatible.
Jesus took down the outer court of the tabernacle and tore apart the veil blocking your entrance to the Holy of holies and opened for you a new and living way to Me. There is no longer any division between us and we can fellowship without ceasing. And that is prayer.
I love you. Open wide your heart and I will fill it. You will have need of no other source. In fact, there is no other source. So come draw the living water with joy at the springs of Yeshuah, Salvation, Jesus. For I am your strength and song.
In Christ, I put your life on track with no looking back. Full steam ahead—life from the dead—grace beyond measure filled with the treasure of lost things found, so grace may abound. Rejoice in Me. Or do you still not understand? How do you know if you do? Your joy will be full all the time, a bubbling fountain, a babbling brook.
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy dwelling places of the Most High. Psalm 46:4
