Good Wednesday to all and GOD bless!  I pray all are well this day and safe?  Another glorious day here in the valley.  Wishing you all peace and joy!

I will share some messages from the last two days from the Bible.  First one from Isaiah and the second from 2 Corinthians.  After this posting today we are now in the same month as the new messages, most recent of which came today from Michael.  Praise Jesus!

He put on righteousness as His breastplate, and the helmet of salvation on His head.......Arise, shine, for your Light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you...............Lift up your eyes and look about you...............then you will look and be radiant, your heart will throb and swell with joy............
to the honor of the Lord your GOD, the holy One of Israel, for He has endowed you with splendour..........I, the Lord, am your Savior, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.........The sun will no more be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you, for the Lord will be your everlasting Light, and your GOD will be your glory.................your days of sorrow will end.........I am the Lord; in its time I will do this swiftly...........For I, the Lord, love justice; I hate robbery and wrongdoing.  In My faithfulness I will reward My people and make an everlasting covenant with them..................Isaiah 59-61 excerpts


If anyone has caused grief, he has not so much grieved Me as he has grieved you to some extent.............you ought to forgive and comfort him.................Anyone you forgive, I also forgive.  An what I have forgiven--if there was anything to forgive--I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake, in order that Satan might not outwit us.  For we are not unaware of his schemes........thanks be to GOD, who always leads us as captives in Christ's triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of Him everywhere..........who is equal to such a task?  Unlike so many, we do not PEDDLE the Word of GOD for profit.  In Christ we speak before GOD with sincerity, as those sent from GOD.............you are a letter from Christ.....written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living GOD, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts..............our competence comes from GOD.  He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant............the ministry that brought death..was engraved in letters on stone................the ministry that brought condemnation was glorious........what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the surpassing glory..........Moses, who would put a veil over his face to prevent the Israelites from seeing the end of what was passing away (old covenant).  But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read.  It has not been removed; because only in Christ is it taken away.  Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts.  But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.  Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.  Who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord's glory, are being transformed into His image with everlasting glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit................The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the Light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of GOD............For GOD, who said, "Let Light shine out of darkness," made His Light shine in our hearts to give us the Light of the knowledge of GOD's glory displayed in the face of Christ...........We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.  We who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that His life may also be revealed in our mortal body............Therefore we do not lose heart.  Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed each day.  For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.  So we fix our eyes not on what is SEEN, but on what is UNSEEN, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal...........we are in His tent, we groan and are burdened....the one who has fashioned for us this very purpose is GOD, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.........LIVE BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT........make it our goal to please Him...we must all appear before the judgment of Christ........anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come.  The old has gone, the new is here!................GOD..reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting people's sins against them....we are therefore Christ's ambassadors.........GOD made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of GOD....now is .the time of GOD's favor, now is the day of salvation....as servants of GOD we recommend ourselves in every way:  in great endurance ; in troubles, hardships, and distresses; in beating, imprisonments and riots;  in hard work, sleepless nights and hunger; in purity, understanding, patience and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love; in truthful speech and in the power of GOD; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left; through glory and dishonor, bad report and good report; genuine, yet regarded as impostors; known, yet regarded as unknown; dying, and yet we live on; beaten, and yet not killed; sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything................Do not be yoked together with unbelievers....what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?........we are the temple of the living GOD......
"I will live with them and walk with them, and I will be their GOD, and they will be My people........come out from them and be separate, touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.....let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for GOD..............
2 Corinthians 4-7 excerpts


Come to the Lord in all gratitude with a thankful heart.  In Him lies our security, not in some sin filled deity.  Trust in Him to control your life, hard to do I know, but way better.  Think of it as a step to giving up your soul to the Light and away from your body.  
Let us come before Him with thanksgiving and extol Him with music and song.....Psalm 95:2


If you think to find security in this world, you will never find it.   We make endless to do lists and checklists to guide our life, to maintain order n control of it.   This keeps us in a frustrated, frantic place, never content, always rushing about.  The more we rush about the more we get irritated and frustrated.  Instead of doing this, focus on Him, give control to Him, for He wants us to do so and to let Him worry about what lay ahead.  Focus on His Presence in the present.  The future is the present is the past every single millisecond.
You will keep Him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because He trusts in You....Isaiah
26:3

GOD Bless!   Jesus is Marvelous!
