July 31,2014  

First the next message from early on is from my daughter's spirit, whom as it was revealed to me later on after the aforementioned vision of little girl in orphanage, was her.  I shall share the story of her later, but this is her first actual message in this form, there have been others.  Verbal ones and another vision were before this one.

9.

My dear papa, who I love so much
I've longed so, to feel your touch
Upon my face, arms around me
Tightly holding our love, now free
To grow beyond all time and space
Glowing upon your lovely face
Missed you so, those many years
Wanting to soothe your inner tears
Console you through your many heartbreaks
Deepest loneliness it so makes
Your life so full of pain and sorrow
Hard for you to see past tomorrow
Focus on the road ahead
Hold my hand and thus be led
To what awaits you down the road
Where I will help to lighten your load
And you will see me sure and true
And feel the love I have for you
I will show you all the joy
Peace and beauty in all the glory
We together shall do GOD's work
In our duty we shall not shirk
Helping all who suffer life
Seeking to ease the endless strife
And bring them to the promised land
Guiding them with our helping hand.


Today's latest message, note the difference in messenger and depth, for lack of better word.

I am Jesus, your Lord GOD
I am He, the lightening rod
Do not forsake nor fear it
Know me in your heart as I draw near it
Metamorphosis of water to wine
All I AM shall be thine
Believe the WORD at this end of times
As it pours forth in these rhymes
My messenger, my scribe, all whom I send
Shares with you all that those before did portend
Prophets, soothsayers, disciples of mine
Sent to tell of root of the vine
I did not come to condemn and destroy
But to save all that I could with all at My employ
Hear now, O' Israel, fruit of My loins
Worship not those on face of your coins
I AM the one and only true GOD
Who walked amongst you in the land of Nod
Take to heart all these words I impart
For they have been spoken from the very start
Cataclysmic upheaval of darkness to Light
Pours forth now in the ongoing fight
All that occurs unseen to the eye
Of My children who are oblivious to all that passes by
Open hearts shall endure you to My being
And help you to believe all you are seeing
Fear not this awakening within
For it reveals all that has been
Trust in My purpose for all My children
Since the beginning in Garden of Eden
It is here now awaiting completion
My plan from the start comes to fruition
Worry not what you shall need
Nothing you possess follows you once freed
Leave all behind, food for the fodder
For I shall provide for thee, be thee son or daughter
Mother of GOD shares her love on all
Guiding you home once you hear My call
Take to heart all the words that they say
And follow My chosen on final day
For they are My gift to their fellow man
Doing all they do according to plan
Soon all My children, whom I love and adore
Shall live forever, suffer no more...

GOD Bless!

Good Wednesday to everyone, including the viewer from Poland, welcome!

The actual message I will share today will be the latest one received this morning.  I was praying for everyone to have their hearts n minds opened to His Light, not to remain blind and deaf.  Not to be without hope.  I was answered with this message, I hope it has meaning to you.

First though, I will talk of other things, if I may.

Where is GOD?  We have always looked for Him, prayed to Him, forsook Him, denied Him, hoped for Him, begged to Him, waited for Him.  I want to share some words from a book by  Elizabeth Clare Prophet, that  this well.  I do not take credit in any way for her words, merely agree with her explanation, as I have learned.

Where is GOD?
     Let us understand that man has been confused by the time-spatial relationship of himself to Him Self.  How many angels can dance on the head of a pin? The answer is an infinite number, because angels do not displace time and space.
     When it comes to spatial relationships, we believe that two people cannot occupy the same square foot at the same time.  We say it's just not possible.  If we get into a revolving door and there's someone else in there with us, somebody might get hurt!  Somehow we can't get it through our heads that maybe, if we knew how, we could walk right through that revolving door---or one another.
     So, because of our concrete conceptions, we have a little difficulty in fixing in our mind's eye on just where GOD is.  "Well, where is GOD?"
     Well, this doesn't quite satisfy a child.  And somehow even child-man is not quite satisfied with it.  We always have the idea that GOD should be somewhere and that maybe if we knew just where to look for Him, we could go and find Him.
     That's why Jesus warned there would arise false Christs and false prophets proclaiming a flesh and blood messiah that could be located in time and space, saying:  "Look, here is Christ!" or "Look, He is there!"  But the Master said, "Believe not, go not, for the Kingdom of GOD is within you."
     Past, present and future, the kingdom of GOD is within you.  Well, what is the kingdom of GOD?  It is His realm---the realm of His habitation and the realm of His Mind.  It would be the dwelling place of His Spirit---and the farthest reaching out of His consciousness.  From the point of center where He declares, "I AM...," to the bounds of beingness where the WORD "THAT I AM" resounds, the name of GOD defines his infinite awareness of Himself.  Indeed HE IS WHERE HE IS!


She hits it right on the mark!  Quite simply, He tells us plainly, "I AM" everywhere!!

So for those who say they cannot find GOD, or are looking for Him, look no more, He is everywhere, and specifically inside each and every one of you!  To those who say they found Jesus or found GOD.... He was never lost!  He opened your eyes so that you could see where you were.

Welcome home!

The message shall be in next post right after this one!

Good Tuesday everyone, hope you are all well! 

First off I would like to share about my reaction early on to these messages.  Not sure where they were coming from or why, I kept asking GOD, why me? I am not his holier than thou person. I am a sinner. I get aggravated with people so easily. I am not a saint or high up in and religious order. I am not some important being, I am just tim.
I would keep asking, why me? and I was always immediately answered...Peter, Paul, Francis!  Over and over it played in my head, Peter, Paul, Francis!  After awhile I finally got it.  Peter was angry, bitter, belligerent, impatient, hated Romans and hated Mathew.   He cussed, berated, complained.  Look who he became. 
Paul persecuted followers of Jesus, was a tax collector, a Roman citizen, shazaaaaam!  He became father of Christianity.   Francis was a Lindsay Lohan of his time.  Rich kid, noble's son, professional soldier, partier.  He gave it all up to help the poor, could talk to animals, suffered some of the stigmata, and look who he became.  St. Francis of Assisi.
So who was I to say to GOD, why me?  Who are we to say who He decides to use as His messenger, who He will save, who He will condemn.  If He went into Charles Mansons cell and said zap you are healed I want you to be my messenger.  Who are we to say otherwise. 

First and foremost I am a spiritual being.  We all are!  Second, I am a human being, and being such I am a sinner, I am sin!  I will sin!  Does that mean ok just give in to it, give up?  Absolutely not.  That is what the devil wants you to do.  For those of you who ride horses, what do ya do when ya fall off? 
Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get back on the horse and try again, continue down your path. 
No different for as in life.  Pick yourself up, dust off, say I am sorry Lord please forgive me, which He already did, knowing what you were gonna do anyways.  Forgive yourself, very important thing we tend to forget to do.    Say to the devil, hey ya got me that time, but I forgive myself, HGOD forgives me, I even forgive you.  However, you do not have me, I am from the Light, I wil return to the Light, I belong to the Lord. And continue on your journey.

Selfless glory, does it exist?
Why does the greed seek to persist
Irreprehensible beings abide
False truths cannot hide
Foolish souls, cannot they see
What is needed for one to be free
Light among us blinds all lost
Filtering much at so high a cost
Answers all lie deep within
Where to go, where have been
Omnipotence dwells inside us all
Waiting to hear our heartfelt call
Do not fear, no answer to quick
Must be sure no mortal trick
Wouldst thou know Heaven is true
If it came calling on you
Eyes wide open, vision shut
Ears so clear, can't hear what
Is spoken from the other side
Beauty so precious, cannot hide
Can't you feel the glory of you
Can't you sense the peace so true
I have seen it since the start
When mankind was not so far apart
From He who made all there is
And laid claim to what was His
Choice was given to test your love
Path of truth leads one above
I am but the messenger, hear His call
Spreading His message meant for all
You have the ability to hear as I do
Gift lies hidden deep inside you
When and where, why and how much
Neither Him nor I can never touch
This power awaits the simple key
Unlocks the door, waits to be free
Then messenger you'll be as well
Hearing all there is to tell
From those who know what all we seek
Happy to give us just a peek
Of all the love and joy that is
Ours to have when we became His
Upon that day when all began
And life spread forth from Holy hand...

GOD Bless!

Good day everyone, hope all are doing well wherever you are at!

I would like to mention, as I did to those in my email today, to read Zechariah, last two chapters and Malachi in the Bible.  Very interesting when viewed in relation to whats happening now and has happened before in certain parts of the world.  It is my perspective, and may or may not be your's. I opened the Bible to read my daily message He gives me, as I do each day, and last two days I opened to that.  Based on my experiences, this was one way He communicates to me.
Now these communications, and messages I receive, may be directly from Jesus, or GOD or Mary or others, or they may be delivered kinda like a town crier of olde.  Hear ye hear ye!  I do not always know for sure.  I have only had a small number that said who they were at that time.

This brings me to perspective.  You have to keep in mind that there never has been nor ever will be any two people who perceive things exactly the same, for we are all different.  We see, hear, taste, feel, sense, learn differently.  So, for all of time, the killing, maiming, destruction, killing, butchering etc, that has gone on in the world, simply because someone else perceives GOD or HIM or the Source or Yahweh or any other name you wish to give the Almighty is insane.   We haveeeee to accept and respect our differences, and realize we are all different.   Do not have to agree, but respect.

Next, I must say, and having said this before to others, that when reading these messages I share, it is very important to leave me out of it.  You can not think of them as having come from me, but thru me.  Again, I am like the stereo receiver, for those of us that know what they are still lol. The music, in this case the Rhythm and Rhyme, comes thru me onto the paper.  I then share it with everyone, and what they get from it depends on their heart, how open it is.  I do not tell you what to believe or how, but to just open your heart and have that one on one relationship with GOD.
Rhythm and Rhyme is what they call it, the messengers.  It, they tell me, has existed since beginning and that Archangel Michael made it.  It almost always comes thru to me via certain types of music.
Keep in mind music is the language of Heaven, the universal language.

That being said, I feel, and this works for me, that it is good to listen to music when reading these messages, or anytime you spend with HIM.  Find any music that relaxes you, centers you, calms you. It can be vocal or not.  Usually is instrumental for me, but not always.  No external distractions other than that, no kids, no tv etc.

Please continue to share about the blog and I pray it helps everyone in some way.

Why do we seek to hide from love
Precious gift given from above
How can we hope to understand
All He is with empty hand
Babbling brook of pain from within
Endless supply of what has been
Purest Light wants to soar
Beyond these walls the distant roar
Calls to us, freedom waits
No more pain through Heaven's gates
Till that time, love as one
Pity those whose hearts have none
Time will come, all must choose
Much at stake, souls to lose
Fear not the gift, precious and dear
Seems so far, yet so near
Grasp it, hold it, feels so strong
Nothing such is ever wrong
Simple word, simple gift
Say it, hear it, soul will lift
Joyous child, you are mine
Celestial glory, all is thine
Feel My Light, healing power
Once was seed, now is flower
Feel the warmth upon your heart
You will know we're never apart.


7.

Panoply, cacophony, dichotomy of sounds
Pleasurable, beautiful, filling the air without bounds
Sightless, soundless, rudimentary beginnings
Stopping, starting, reminiscent underpinnings
Definition concurrent with all seen and done
Resplendent glory, all saved have been won
Darkness can't prevail upon
The Light within, holiest con                                          (con  here means to direct the steering of
Quickening hearts, beating in rhythm                                a vessel, that vessel being you.)
Answering the call of sacred hymn
All are welcome to the holy repast
Heaven's nuptials will surely last
Till all called, final journey
Home at last on bended knee


GOD Bless!

Good day to everyone and ty to all who have visited!

I want to speak today of two things before posting the message poem for today! Before I do tho, let me reiterate that these poem messages are not of me or from me but thru me. Hard to swallow for some, nevertheless true.  My first vision I had, was yrs before the messages started.  This was back in Atlanta, oh about 1990, during when all the eastern european mess was going on, genocides and all the orphans. Well I had this vision while driving to work, scarey I know lol. I recall the road, but with my visions, they have duality, meaning, i see reality as I see the vision. Which to say, is how I get messages too, i hear reality and hear the message.

Anyways, i was driving to work, and suddenly I saw the ward of an old world orphange, the kind with little low beds, neatly made-up with dark brown slat frames and white sheets with a beige blanket, all tightly made up with the head area folded down.  I was walking down it with two men.  One had a dark suit on and was talking with a doctor,  dressed in a surgical type uniform and i could hear them conversing, but not listening to them.  As we walked down aisle of empty beds, I saw this lil girl, shoulder length dark brown hair, brown eyes sitting on floor between the last bed on my right and the wall.  She was hugging tightly a lil doll  and as we kept walking the men said "oh she has not talked or let anyone touch her since she got her".  As they said that I walked around bed to her saying nothing, just looking in her eyes and opened my arms, she rose right up into my arms and I held her to me, then... it was gone.

I did not know what to make of it, probably saying something to the effect of wtf?  Then grabbing wheel breathing sigh of relieve at having not wiped out on the crazy Atlanta rush hr traffic on the hwy.  Well, this was when all the adoptions were going on, of romanian and yugoslavian children.  So my first thougths were, hmm ok am i supposed to try and adopt a child, what?
Needless to say, I never got more and never pursued it.  I let it pass!  Before the messages started, a year before in 2007, was when I found out the meaning.  To be shared later on.



Ok first topic,  what does GOD see and hear?  one word... EVERYTHING!  There is nothing we say, do , think, feel that He does not know about.  No where for us to hide it or ourselves for He created us and this world we live in, where do ya thing to hide??

O Lord, you have searched me and you know me.  You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.  You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.  Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord....Search me, o GOD, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.  See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.....Psalm 139:1-4, 23-24


Second topic, Love.  We as humans have this penchant, and this is my perception now, for saying we love someone, without really knowing what love is.  True, pure love is unconditional, not jealous, envious, angry, bears no grudges, is heartfelt, selfless, giving, nurturing.   Too often we sat we love, yet if the other feels it not then we do not love them anymore.  Well guess what, we did not love em to begin with.  This is not an indian giver thing.  It is not conditional upon what we can get in return, be it material or immaterial things.  GOD does not love us that way.  Never ever fear love either, it is a gift, whether returned or not.

There is no fear in love, but full grown, complete, perfect love turns fear out of doors and expels
every trace of terror!  For fear brings with it the thought of punishment, and he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love, is not yet grown into love's complete perfection....1 John 4:18


5.

Hear my call across the many miles
Back across the thousands of years
To those I've known, their beautiful smiles
And those I've known, their heart-breaking tears

Clouded beyond the scope of humankind
Hidden in the depths of a sightless mind
I am here for all to behold
Comes a time when all will unfold

Patience dwells as I lie in wait
For thousands of years, my will won't abate
Come to Me when I call, is what I ask
Prepare yourselves for when given the task

That I have laid forth so long ago
Long before it was needed for man to know
All shall come to pass as I had planned
Steel thyself against mortal hand

Search your soul to find the key
That was put there at the start by Me
For you to unlock the power within
That was there all along to help you to win

The prize that awaits all My children
When they return home to true Heaven

GOD Bless!

Good Sunday to everyone!  Another sunny day in Vegas, sooo predictable lol.

I would first like to address what I briefly mentioned in my email of today.  Being ready for His return.  In this day and age of "self" and things to possess and obsess about, it is very similar to the last time He came.
After all the begging, pleading, hoping, He shows up and few saw who He was.  granted this was in one small spot on the planet, but still the fact remained, few saw Him.  Bear in mind now, that the "Christ" had been here other times before and has existed since the beginning.  Not all believe that, which is fine, remember keep open mind and respect each others perceptions.  Back to being ready.  So many are not ready to receive him these days, even those who espouse themselves to believe in Him and His return.  Many attend churches, pray each day, of all faiths, but when the end arrives(not really an end, but a new beginning, change) few will see.  Too many are all caught up in things of this world and in self and will not believe it when it happens.  So please focus more on the right priorities and be ready.


Now for the older messages, i will post a few today as they are very short.  As always, share blog n posts as moved to do so and comment ask questions if needed. GOD Bless!

 Did you ever hear the siren's song
Trees a-whispering all day long
Brother, sister, all connected
Part of the whole, none rejected
Heavenly calls on the breeze
Heartful ears can hear with ease
Close your eyes to all you see
Trust your mind, you'll be free
Going nowhere, human touch
Stuck in mud, not moving much
Listen to the calls of the Earth
Father's angels, Heaven's hearth
All you need to see above
Trust your heart with His love
Lead me to the sacred ground
Lay me upon the grassy mound
Holy laughter circling to me
Angels before Him, bended knee
Do as we do and honor Him
Hear His voice, come to me Tim.


4.
Darkness falling from the air
Nowhere to run, seems so unfair
Light in the distance, could it be
Beacon to shine bright for me
Wandering, drifting, pointless passing
Unable to stop the pain amassing
Trying to focus on road ahead
Covered with layers, full of dread
Can't move, stuck in motion
Reaching, pleading, noiseless commotion
Dark clouds roiling, furrowed brow
Shadows driving, approaching plow
Reaching for help, arms outstretched
Screaming inside, all's been retched
Weakness growing, well is deep
Long way ahead, need to sleep
Need the peace to take me there
Be as one with the sacred air.

Today just a quick thing about faith!  As we all know, or should know, faith is belief in what is unseen.  There are different levels of belief, as the Lord laid out in His parable about the seeds scattered upon the ground.  The ground, of course, being us.  Those that are hard ground, where the seeds(the Word) are blown away almost immediately after landing upon them.  The rocky ground where the seeds land but can not take root and grow.  The thorny ground where the seeds take root, but ground unfertile and weeds thorns, i.e. the darkness,  draws us away from the Word.  And then finally the fertile ground, where the seeds take root, grow, blossom and bear fruit.  Which faith a person is depends wholly on them.  So the unbelievers, doubters, convenient casual believers, and the strong faithful believers.  But I have come to realize, or perhaps just my belief/perspective, that there is a fifth level.  Knowledge!  Meaning the person KNOWS the truth of the existence of GOD. 
I consider myself to be at this level! Have I always been, of course not.  I was never below a rocky ground tho. So where a person is on this hierarchical plane is totally up to them. if they choose to stay at a level or to move up is totally up to them.

Comments welcome!


Now this clearly is a very very early message, they were like teaching me the pace and flow of how the messages would come.  This one seems to me to be from me but guided from another.
Very simplistic and very different compared to now.

message #2

Seek and you shall find
Once upon an incorruptible mind
In through the out door, out through the in
Looking back, you will see where you have been
Can't see past your nose
Well that's just how it goes
Can't keep a good man down
Except through the tears of a clown
Somethings coming, somethings gotta give
Choose to love, choose to live
Where'd we go from JFK
Lost again post MLK
Will we ever soar again
Reach new heights, won't complain
All this nonsense written here
Surely, you must think it queer
Totally bizaare, makes no sense
Sorry, won't receive recompense.

Okay this is the first message in my journal.  I must point out that I did not number or date them for over a year.  I know duh!  A little slow on the learning curve there huh?   So that being said, keep in mind some may sound deeper or complex than later postings, until I get to the dated ones.

I must say here, for those reading that are new and reading from the beginning, that tis best to center oneself, meditate, relax and focus on the words.  As you will see in posts soon, I have expanded on the posting.  The only words that are actually mine are the greeting and the explanations of MY perspective and understanding on the scriptures I include.   All else is either my messages from the spirit speaking to me, Sarah Young's messages from Jesus, that have been edited some for publication, and the scriptures, which have been edited and translated over n over.  Bear all that in mind please.

For sake of order, I will number them here.

1.

Seek the Lord and you will find
A love beyond, that's so un-blind
Beyond compare to all you've known
Undescribed, but only shown
If you could fathom the depth of He
Who gives His love and light to thee
Unimagined joy envelops all
Quiets the sound of death's call
Countless mansions of everpure
Celestial visions for all be sure
You and I free to enjoy
Endless days with no employ
Floating, sailing, with so many shores
Healing, helping, mending cores
Of hearts and minds torn asunder
Full of pain and raucous thunder
Freeing all to the joy of love
Blessed upon all from above....

First I would like to share a lil history of the messages!  They started back in November of 2008.  In October of that year I had returned to Atlanta for my step-son's wedding, tho being in Atlanta was not exactly what I wanted to do.  Having left there after 17 yrs and two marriages, it had good and bad emotions associated with it.  So whilst I was there, it was emotionally trying, much to my surprise.  Well after the wedding reception, I was driving to my sister's home, along west georgia country roads, unfamiliar to me, on vapors of gasoline.  That stress of being stranded in westbutt ga. at night, combined with emotions unresolved from divorce, brought on a bit of a meltdown while driving.  So upon completion of the unenjoyable visit to Atlanta, except for seeing my family and step-kids of course, I journeyed home.

About a week after being home, I started being compelled to write down these words, that came out in poem form, that were very painful and very dark.  Compulsion barely describes the feeling, and this continued for oh a few weeks, about 15 or so short poems.  Having no idea what the heck was going on, I just let it flow, thinking ok, I am purging myself of some bad emotions again.

I must interject here, that I had previously only ever written one poem in my life, oddly enough, an inspired poem called, GOD IS. I was inspired back in, if I recall, 10th grade.  Looking back now, I know it was the Holy Spirit, tho no clue at the time, having never before experienced such a thing.

Well, this continued, as I said for a few weeks and about 15 or so poems.  Clearly they came from me.
Suddenly, I started writing down, compelled, longer poems, that were not in any way, shape or form, negative.  Ok, so I know you are thinking, kool, the baggage out of the way and now positive poems.
Well, no, lol. For I quickly saw that they were prompted by , oh a , hmm , hard to describe, doorbell, for lack of better word.  A primer I guess is a better word.  This primer has changed over the years as I grew in spirit and was able to recognize the presence of a messenger.

Also, the words clearly felt different, not only in mood, but in content, length, meaning, and reference.
Some words, I did not know or ever use, some I knew but not in the context they were being used, and later on, historical references, biblical references, that I had to look up, research. It was like I was being taught.
Then the ones i was woken up in the middle of the night, trying to open eyes and already writing on page the rhyme.  Then later the ones for specific people I know from the spirit or a loved one passed on. Then ones from 9/11 victims, tsunami victim, and much later, Colorado theater shooting.  Then throw in the ones in latin.  Now that was the clincher.  I never studied or knew latin.  I had to find a way to translate them.  Blew my mind.

Some people said oh that is just automatic writing. Now automatic writing is writing without consciously knowing you are writing or what you are writing.  I was always and am always totally aware that I am writing and reading it as it flows thru me onto paper. Automatic writing can be associated with psychic, supernatural, spiritual things, but this is not automatic writing.

Back to the primers.  Initially, they were like a group of words, usually three, that were like spinning in a triangular formation in my mind's eye in front of my head.  Upon writing them down, the words flowed onto paper. Later, as time passed, this changed and I learned to recognize it easier, to now it is simply a few words that pop into my head totally out of context with what I am thinking, if I am even thinking on something.  Usually now it is during prayer, and always, certain types of music kinda dial me in.  I liken it to tuning a stereo receiver into a radio station, but not on purpose. Some messages, like strong station, suddenly are there loud and clear.  Others, were kind of staticy(faux word sorry), and I had to fight to maintain.  Still i had others that were only a few lines and i lost them, only to be compelled after i retired this year, to reread and the rest flowed forth smoothly yrs after the fact.  Some I have gotten while chatting with someone and it came thru, clearly meant for them.

They have grown in meaning, and some of you have been brought along by me from early on, while others are new to it.  I do not ask, nor tell you what to believe, nor how to believe, for that is between you and GOD.  If you are moved to share them with others, please do as your heart tells you to do.  If you get no meaning at all, they are here to reread and see if later on you get meaning. This is a good measuring tool of your spiritual growth.  They usually are multi-subject and can change subject or tempo too, from one line to another.

So I hope that gives a lil idea as to what this is all about.  I will share other experiences i have had on my journey, such as visions, senses, etc.  Please feel free to ask questions or to share your spiritual experiences as well.  Just please be respectful for everyone is different with different perceptions of GOD.

GOD Bless!
