So Jesus said to them again, truly truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. I Am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. I Am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.
John 10:7-11
Restoration & Redemption
The Lord says,
Restoration and redemption are on My heart. I see My people, and My arm is always stretched out to them – to save them from their pasts, their regrets, their inner critic and the voice of the enemy that discourages and reminds them of their failures. I came to show you how to live an abundant life. I suffered and was tortured and ridiculed and died as a perfect sacrifice for your sins. I rose to give you new life, to give abundant life, to be your constant source of joy and constant and faithful companion- to lead you in purity and righteousness and compassion.
People have lied about Me, have created religions and rules and practices and requirements that do not align with My values. Remember how much I needled the religious leaders during My ministry? It was because of their hypocrisy and because they missed the point of religion. I did not come to bring religion. So much religion brings arbitrary rules and inhibits the people and mistreats and puts guilt and shame on the people. I came to give freedom to the people.
Relationship with Me, Me having residence in your heart – guides you into all righteousness. Yes, I want for you to have community with other believers. This is the Body of Christ. This is My Body. You are My Body – My people. Find a place where your heart feels free and you are learning about Me with no mixture – no added weights or requirements. The pure Gospel is what sets people free.
Find a tribe that worships in purity and truth. The simple, beautiful Gospel of truth. Of Me. I Am all truth. I lead you into all righteousness with My truth. Don’t neglect reading My Word. When You read it with Me, I give light to your eyes and instruction to your heart. I Am revealing deep secrets of Myself in My Word that can only be seen when I have been given residence in your heart. It’s a beautiful and mysterious thing. It brings Me great joy. And I bring you great joy.
Attracted to the Light
The Lord says,
I Am drawing all men and women, boys and girls to Myself. I Am revealing. I Am removing the scales from their eyes and the plugs from their ears. I Am showing them the Truth, the unvarnished Gospel of Me of Jesus, of Holy Spirit. And I Am positioning them for freedom. This is a season, a time where many people have been in despair, have been longing, have been crying out for freedom. I hear the prayers of many who don’t yet know me. They are hurting. They have been hurt, they have regrets, they live with the weight of these injuries and these memories – and these are dragging them down and impeding progress in life. They are slowing and weighing them down so much that they can’t move forward. But I Am calling them to stop where they are, to stop striving, stop carrying these weights and dragging these regrets around. I Am calling them to look up, to look into the eyes of Jesus and see what He offers. He offers forgiveness of sins, healing for the broken, wiping away the sting and regret of the past. He exchanges these burdens for a bright new, completely clean, pure, wide open and free life in Him. He offers to take your past, take your hurts, your sins and regrets and cover them with His blood, so they are hidden in Him and counted as part of His atoning sacrifice for humanity.
This trade is the best one you could ever make. This trade gives you 24/7 access to the person of Jesus, to the voice of God in your heart. This trade makes you brand new – and it’s requirement on you is simply to follow Jesus. To live like Jesus – the real Jesus of the Bible, not the one of these false and burdensome religions. You get to learn to hear His voice and to walk in His ways of compassion and love and relationship.
This trade gives you a personal relationship with Jesus and opened eyes to understand the mysteries of His Word, the Bible. This is what He came for, lived for, died and was resurrected for. It was for you. For new life. For the sake of your freedom and to live in joyful relationship with you.
Healing and Radiance in the Glory
The Lord says,
I Am healing hearts. I Am shining My healing light on hearts today. My Presence and My residence in hearts will be felt today and is increasing. I will be increasingly noticeable. The concentration of My Presence is strengthening, is increasing. And the weight of My Glory will be felt in the atmosphere above you. At first like a breeze. Then like a linen sheet. Then like a blanket. And then even more powerfully than this. The weight of My Presence is coming to bring healing, to bring restoration, to reorder priorities, to reunify families.
The weight of My Presence, of My Glory will make My people radiant like the sun. Those who have been in My Presence will radiate, will glow, will have a physical manifestation of light from their bodies. My peace and the joy of My Presence will radiate out from within them.
