SONG OF SONGS 8:6-7 (2023)

SONG OF SONGS 8:6-7

Set me as a seal upon your heart,
   as a seal upon your arm;
for love is strong as death,
   passion fierce as the grave.
Its flashes are flashes of fire,
   a raging flame.
Many waters cannot quench love,
   neither can floods drown it.
If one offered for love
   all the wealth of one’s house,
   it would be utterly scorned.

---- mine,

If you desire to know what true love is like look at the Crucifix on it Love was immolated for you. Love is dying to self. Love is laying down one's life for the good of the beloved. Love is not self-seeking but is oriented always to the best interests of the other no matter what the cost to oneself. This is Love not that you love Me but that I loved you first. Before you ever knew Me I knew you, I thought about you, I desired that you be born, and I desired that you would never be separated from Me. Sin brings death and eternal separation and because there is always the clear and present danger that you would in moments of weakness choose death over life My Father and I made a Way to snatch you from the very jaws of death. I did so by paying the price that sin demands. My death in exchange for your life. Sinners cannot save themselves a sinner needs a Savior, a Redeemer, a Lamb of Sacrifice. I was slain ---- mine so you could live. Because I paid the price for you a life of eternal joy awaits you as co-heir in My Kingdom. This love of God is given to you freely, it is poured out over you as a libation and binds you irrevocably to My Sacred Heart making you a child of My Father. You, my beloved, are Mine and I AM yours in time and in eternity. Rejoice, little sister, as heaven rejoices because you belong to Me now and forever. Remain in My love.

PSALM 37:23-24 (2023)

PSALM 37:23-24

Our steps are made firm by the Lord, 

when he delights in our way;
though we stumble, we shall not fall headlong,
for the Lord holds us by the hand.

---- mine,

Take heart do not be sad, disheartened do not let gloom overshadow your spirit for I AM God and I will never leave you, I will never forsake you. I have claimed you for My own. I have set My Seal on you, the Seal of My Own Holy Spirit. Be not afraid even though it might appear that the storm, the wind, the rain, and the sound of roaring thunder threaten to annihilate you, you will stand firm for I will not allow you to fall headlong even though you may stumble. I will steady you with my powerful right hand. Trust in Me. Obey My commands. Remain steadfast in faith, hope, and love, and in the end, you will be triumphant and victorious for the hand of the Lord is with you, the power of the Lord is working in your favor for you have trusted in Me. Be not afraid ---- mine, be not afraid.

MATTHEW 9:20-22 (2023)

MATTHEW 9:20-22

Then suddenly a woman who had been suffering from haemorrhages for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his cloak, for she said to herself, ‘If I only touch his cloak, I will be made well.’ Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, ‘Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.’ And instantly the woman was made well.

---- mine,

Faith is believing despite all odds. Faith is knowing that in God's good time, all will be well. Faith is not giving in to doubt and trusting in My love for you no matter how difficult the situation may seem, for with Me nothing is impossible. The unnamed woman suffering from haemorrhages for twelve years fell on her knees on the dusty road only because she had heard of Me and believed. She was convinced that if she quietly, without drawing any attention to herself, touched just the fringe of My cloak she would be healed and she was. Faith has the power to move the heavens and the earth. What is faith, ---- mine? Faith is believing that all things work for the good of those who love Me. It is believing even when reason tells you that what you seek and ask for can never happen for I have the power to make a way even when there is no way. Take heart, daughter, believe, pray with faith, and expect miracles. For nothing, I repeat nothing is impossible with God.

PSALM 103:1-5 (2023)

PSALM 103:1-5

Of David.

Bless the Lord, O my soul,
   and all that is within me,
   bless his holy name.
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
   and do not forget all his benefits—
who forgives all your iniquity,
   who heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the Pit,
   who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
who satisfies you with good as long as you live
   so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

---- mine,

You belong to Me. I have received you from the hands of My Father and because you are My possession you must know that I only desire your good always. Reflect on your life and you will see that there never has been a time in your life when I have been distant, I have not heard your prayers, I have not stooped low over you when you were in distress and not comforted you. It is I who live in you, move in you, it is I who have My Being in you because I have claimed you for My own. Rejoice in the knowledge that you belong to Me and that it delights Me to make My home in you. I will renew your strength and I will bless you all the days of your life. Remain in My love as I desire to remain in your love. Be still and know that I AM God and that nothing is impossible for Me and God loves you so dearly that He sent Me into the world to save you, redeem you, sanctify you, and to ensure that someday where I AM you too will be.

LUKE 24:38-40 (2023)

LUKE 24:38-40

He said to them, ‘Why are you frightened, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? Look at my hands and my feet; see that it is I myself. Touch me and see; for a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.’ And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.

---- mine,

Why are you frightened? Why does fear grip your heart when you know Me, you know you belong to Me, you know that your name is carved on My hands? Why do you allow sorrow to overwhelm your soul - when you know that I AM your Friend, your Brother and that you are espoused to Me? Why then do you go about moaning, groaning, and sighing as if you were a widow or an orphan when you have God for your Father, you have My Mother as your own and St. Joseph and all the angels and saints as your brothers, sisters, and helpers. You show distrust in Me and in My love when you allow despondency to take possession of your spirit. Look at My hands and My Feet, put your hand in My side, and doubt My love for you no longer. Take heart, ---- mine, for I assure you today and always that you and your family are irrevocably Mine. 

PSALM 116:7-9, 13, 17 (2023)

PSALM 116:7-9, 13, 17

Return, O my soul, to your rest,
for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.
For you have delivered my soul from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling.
I walk before the Lord
in the land of the living.
I will lift up the cup of salvation
and call on the name of the Lord,
I will offer to you a thanksgiving sacrifice
and call on the name of the Lord.

---- mine,

I am leading you gently from where you were to the place of rest where you now find yourself. You still have a long way to go but now you know that it is better for your mental, physical, and spiritual well-being to trust Me to take care of everything. You are beginning to understand that I love you and care for you as tenderly as a mother cares for her child and that I lead you gently,  and I deal with you kindly and compassionately even when you chafe under the yoke of trials. All suffering is necessary for your purification and to grow in wisdom. Because you are Mine I have delivered your soul from death and I have kept your feet from stumbling over and over again. I AM always with you and am ever watchful over you. Rest in safety because you are Mine. In return, offer the Sacrifice of Thanksgiving that is most pleasing to My Father - the one, holy, perfect, and only acceptable Sacrifice that I have made to Him in expiation for your sins and the sins of the world, offer it in union with your own life. Never forget that I AM with you always, I will take care of all your needs. Rest quietly like a weaned child in its mother's arms, and DO NOT  BE AFRAID FOR YOU ARE MINE!

PSALM 103:2-5 (2023)

PSALM 103:2-5

Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and do not forget all his benefits—
who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the Pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
who satisfies you with good as long as you live
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

---- mine,

Never forget the many blessings that I have showered on you always. Never fail to give thanks for the innumerable times when I have saved you from destruction. Count your blessings often and give thanks and praise for the countless ways in which I have protected you and your family and kept you safe under the shadow of My Presence. It is I and no other who has blessed you, fed you, and watched over you as carefully as a mother watches over her baby. When you wandered from Me I followed you and wooed you back into My embrace. Fear nothing, ---- mine, for I, the Lord your God, am with you always and I will accompany you closely all the days of your life until you come to Me and are united with Me eternally in glory in My Father's house.

LUKE 7:44-47 - (2023)

LUKE 7:44-47

Then turning towards the woman, he said to Simon, ‘Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave me no water for my feet, but she has bathed my feet with her tears and dried them with her hair. You gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not stopped kissing my feet. You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. Therefore, I tell you, her sins, which were many, have been forgiven; hence she has shown great love. But the one to whom little is forgiven, loves little.’

---- mine,

My gaze is always turned toward you, it is unwavering, because I delight in looking at you. I want you to know this unequivocal truth I AM aware of your love for Me. I AM aware of your great desire to love Me more fervently, more ardently, and with a love devoid of self-interest and self-gratification. You have come a long way in your journey turning away from the world and fixing your sight on the ultimate prize, which is union with Me. Just as I saw the contrite woman who repented wholeheartedly of her past sinful life and for all the years she spent in dissolute living and self-love giving visible expression to her sorrow and her new-found love for Me in every one of her gestures, I SEE YOU. I came to seek and save the lost - this is My burning desire that not one whom the Father has given Me should be lost. The greater the sin and separation from Me the more fervent the sorrow for sin and the greater the ardor of the love of the truly repentant sinner. Be of good cheer, ---- my own, I have overcome and conquered the world.

DANIEL 7:13-14 (2023)

DANIEL 7:13-14

One like a son of man came on the clouds of heaven.
He faced the One of Great Age and was brought into his presence.
Dominion, honor and kingship were given him,
and all the peoples and nations of every language served him.
His dominion is eternal and shall never pass away;
his kingdom will never be destroyed.

---- mine,

I AM the Lord your God, is anything too difficult for Me? I and the Father are One in the Holy Spirit Love is the bond that binds us in loving harmony and it is I who draw all people and all nations into the life of God and into the love of the Father. All who come to Me I never turn away. There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among mortals by which you must be saved. - there is only one Way to the Father's House and that is through Me. I AM the gate, I AM the Way, without Me you can do nothing but with Me, you inherit the Kingdom of God. Love the Lord your God and trust Me even when you cannot see the shore and the winds and the ways toss you about - be not afraid for I AM with you I will never leave you, I will never forsake you - you are Mine. Put all your hope and trust in Me and you will discover what it means to have the Son of God and the Son of Man for your Friend, your Brother, and your Spouse.

SIRACH 2:1, 4-6 (2023)

SIRACH 2:1, 4-6

My child, when you come to serve the Lord, 

 prepare yourself for testing.

Accept whatever befalls you,
   and in times of humiliation be patient.
For gold is tested in the fire,
   and those found acceptable, in the furnace of humiliation.
Trust in him, and he will help you;
   make your ways straight, and hope in him.

---- mine,

I the Lord your God have taken you by the hand and I AM leading you. Set aside your own wisdom for all human wisdom is folly and worthless. Seek the wisdom that comes from the Holy Spirit for God's ways are not your ways neither are God's thoughts anything like yours. Those whom God loves He tests. The faithful are not called to a life of ease and comfort rather a constant thorn is given to them to keep them humble. Weak-minded creatures like yourself easily return to old ways of self-indulgence when things go well but if your heart is set on being My disciple and you have committed your life to Me then prepare to be thrust deep into the fiery furnace of humiliation so you can be purified, strengthened, and capable of authentic and lasting discipleship. You are called to be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect. This is no easy task and impossible for you to attain on your own but with Me nothing is impossible. Trust Me and yield to Me completely. Have faith and lean on Me.

PSALM 138:1-3 (2023)

PSALM 138:1-3

Thanksgiving and Praise Of David.

I give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart;
before the gods I sing your praise;
I bow down towards your holy temple
and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness;
for you have exalted your name and your word
above everything.
On the day I called, you answered me,
you increased my strength of soul.

---- my own,

Never forget that you are Mine. I have purchased you, I have ransomed you with My Life. I lay down My Life so you may live. I took upon Myself the death that was yours for this was My Father's will and I raised you up to new life in Me. You are precious in My sight and not just you but all those for whom you plead before My throne day and night. I hear you, I always hear you for My Ear is pressed to your lips not a sigh escapes Me. My heart is pressed against your heart because I make My home in you. You are My tabernacle, you are My sanctuary, you are Mine and I will never leave you, I will never forsake you. Remain in My love.

LUKE 19:5-6 (2023)

LUKE 19:5-6

When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, ‘Zacchaeus, hurry and come down; for I must stay at your house today.’ So he hurried down and was happy to welcome him.

---- mine,

I see you. Never doubt for a moment that I not only see you, I know you. I hear every sigh, and I have collected all your tears. I assure you this day that My Father will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Me, His Son. Hurry and dry your eyes. Do not look at the things that are troubling you, that are causing you sorrow and are making you anxious, rather look at Me. Keep your focus on Me and rejoice for I AM with you and I will remain with you always. Like Zacchaeus I want you to know that there is nothing that I cannot do and will not do to claim what the Father has given Me and is Mine. No one can snatch what is Mine from Me. Be still, be at peace.

ISAIAH 48:10 (2023)

ISAIAH 48:10

See, I have refined you, but not like silver;
   I have tested you in the furnace of adversity.

---- mine,

Unless you pick up your cross daily and come after Me you cannot be My disciple. You can only be refined, strengthened, and purified in the winepress of suffering. Without the cross, there can be no crown. So stop whining, stop wringing your hands, stop feeling sorry for yourself, and praise and thank God -  Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Stop navel-gazing, stop focusing on yourself and your feelings, and fix your mind on the things that are above the things that give life. Do this and peace and joy will be yours despite all the suffering that you are invited to undergo. Be of good cheer I have overcome the world.

LUKE 1:46-47 (2023)

LUKE 1:46-47

And Mary said,
‘My soul magnifies the Lord,
   and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour.

---- mine

Can you notice the difference between your reaction to the work of God and the plan of God for your life and that of My Mother? Emulate her. Contemplate and meditate on her response to the will of My Father throughout her life and mirror it in your own. Both she and I continue to suffer as God's children who are members of My Body and who are entrusted to her continue to wound My Sacred Heart and her Immaculate Heart. Who will comfort us? You too are suffering because your spouse and your children are suffering. In some small measure, you are permitted to participate in our suffering, accept this as a grace from Me, and through your tears and your heartache magnify the Lord and rejoice in the salvific work of your Redeemer and Savior who is also your Brother, your Spouse, and your Friend.

MARK 10:51-52 (2023)

MARK 10:51-52

Then Jesus said to him, ‘What do you want me to do for you?’ The blind man said to him, ‘My teacher, let me see again.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Go; your faith has made you well.’ Immediately he regained his sight and followed him on the way.

---- mine,

What do you want me to do for you? Take a moment before you answer. What is the deepest desire of your heart? What is the one thing you desire Me to give you that you know will make you happy? 

My most beloved Jesus, my Lord, and my God, I ask for the conversion of every member of my family so that someday we may all enter into the fullness of the beatific vision and together behold you face to face rejoicing eternally in the presence of God. 

You have asked and you will receive. Have faith and pray daily and always for their conversion as well as for the conversion of all sinners. What you desire is the will of My Father as well. This is why He sent Me into the world. ‘This is indeed the will of my Father, that all who see the Son and believe in him may have eternal life; and I will raise them up on the last day.’

MATTHEW 18:12-14 (2023)

MATTHEW 18:12-14

What do you think? If a shepherd has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray. So it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should be lost.

---- mine,

You are My disciple, you are My little one, you belong to My sheepfold, and not just you but your spouse, your children, your grandchild, and every member of your family. I assure you as I assure all those that are Mine, all those who are called by My Name, all those who are grafted to My Body, that God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, think nothing about leaving the ninety-nine sheep on the mountains to go in search of the one that has strayed, the one that is lost, the one whom God has marked and sealed in My Blood and in the Holy Spirit for it is the will of My Father in heaven than not one of these should be lost. Have faith. Pray with confidence. God has heard and answered all the desires of your heart for your loved ones. I AM the God who saves.       

ESTHER 14:19, 15:9-12, 5:3 - (2023)

ESTHER 14:19, 15:9-12, 5:3

O God, more powerful than all, hear the voice of those in despair; save us from the evil man’s power, and deliver me from my fear.

“What is it, Esther?” he said. “I am your brother. Take heart. You will not die, because our decree applies only to ordinary people. Come, speak to me.” He raised the golden scepter, touched her neck with it, then embraced her saying, “Speak to me.”

The king asked, “What is it, Queen Esther? Tell me what you wish. Even if it is half of my kingdom, I will give it to you.” 

---- mine,

Do not fear the power of evil even though it seems invincible and unstoppable, this is the hour of Satan however it is but an hour and it will pass. Every child of God, every one of My brothers and sisters that murderous fanatical bigotry has wounded and destroyed will answer to the Living God. I will act and My burning wrath will annihilate the servants of the Enemy. I AM the Deliverer, I AM the Alpha and the Omega. The wrath of the Enemy crescendoes across the world as the reign of evil and terror is now drawing to a close and the Dawn of a New Day is on the horizon. The Day of the Lord is at hand. Stay vigilant. Stay awake. Pray unceasingly offering God praise, worship, and thanksgiving with clean hands and a pure heart. Take heart and do not lose courage. I have conquered. Victory is Mine. Have faith and while you wait for deliverance, pray.  

ISAIAH 51:16 (2023)

ISAIAH 51:16

I have put my words in your mouth,
   and hidden you in the shadow of my hand,
stretching out the heavens
   and laying the foundations of the earth,
   and saying to Zion, ‘You are my people.’

---- mine,

I AM God and I love you, I have redeemed you, I AM the Savior of the world and I have laid down My life for you. Live in Me, move in Me, have your being in Me. I AM the Eternal Word of the Father and the power of His Word that upholds and sustains all in the love of the Holy Spirit speaks to you today. Listen! Pay close attention to what I say to now - forget the past entrust it to My mercy. Do not be anxious about tomorrow - no one is guaranteed a tomorrow, leave all your tomorrows to My providence. All you have is NOW and in this NOW, in this present moment, I want you to know and understand, take heart and have hope that I, the Living God, the only begotten Son of the Father is speaking to you, be still, quiet all the noises within and without, and LISTEN. I AM the Living and Eternal Word of the Father who speaks take heed and know that I AM who stretched the heavens and lay the foundations of the earth hide and shelter you in the palm of My Hand and I declare today and every day that you are mine, you are espoused to Me. Remain in My Love and you will never be confounded.

ZECHARIAH 13:9 (2023)

ZECHARIAH 13:9

And I will put this third into the fire,
   refine them as one refines silver,
   and test them as gold is tested.
They will call on my name,
   and I will answer them.
I will say, ‘They are my people’;
   and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God.’

---- mine,

Every life that is surrendered to Me I purify, I sanctify, I make whole. When you are tested in the fire of tribulation and suffering you must remember that it is only those I love that I test as gold and silver are tested to get rid of every trace of dross. Your tears, your sighs, your unceasing pleading before Me day and night are ever before Me. You have called on Me, the Lord your God incessantly through the hours of the day and in the watches of the night - I have heard you, I hear you, for I stoop low over you and even the words that fill your heart but find no utterance, I know. Dry your eyes. Cease moaning and sighing, for I AM your God and you are My little one, you belong to My sheepfold. Listen, pay attention, and believe - I, the Lord your God, never have and never will forsake those who are called by My Name.

JEREMIAH 9:23-24 (2023) AT DAY'S END - 11JUN

 JEREMIAH 9:23-24

Thus says the Lord: Do not let the wise boast in their wisdom, do not let the mighty boast in their might, do not let the wealthy boast in their wealth; but let those who boast boast in this, that they understand and know me, that I am the Lord; I act with steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth, for in these things I delight, says the Lord.

---- mine,

Take heart, have courage, fear nothing for I AM the Lord who acts with steadfast love, justice, and righteousness. Emulate Me. Follow Me. Act as I do. Love Me with your whole being and love those around you then you will be a delight to Me and you will remain in My love.

MATTHEW 4:18-22 - (2023)

MATTHEW 4:18-22

As Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the lake—for they were fishermen. And he said to them, ‘Follow me, and I will make you fish for people.’ Immediately they left their nets and followed him. As he went from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets, and he called them. Immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed him.

---- mine,

It is I who seek you and pursue relentlessly, it is I who say to you 'Follow Me, leave all that enslaves you, that binds you, that immobilizes you, renders you ineffective, and incapable of living life as God meant for you to live it. Today, once again, I seek you, I call you, I invite you to surrender your life unconditionally to Me - have you the courage to say yes? Do you trust Me enough to give Me all of yourself without reserve and follow Me with confidence knowing that I alone can supply all you need to live the abundant life? This is the day, this is the hour, this is the moment - what is your response? Will you say, 'Yes, Lord, where you lead I will follow'? Be not afraid, I will fully satisfy every need of yours according to My riches in glory.

ISAIAH 54:17 (2023) AT DAY'S END - 10 JUNE

 ISAIAH 54:17

   No weapon that is fashioned against you shall prosper,
   and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgement.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord
   and their vindication from me, says the Lord.

---- mine,

This is My Word for you today. Believe it for My Word is true. Be sanctified in the Truth.

JOHN 20:13, 14, 15, 15, 16, 17 (2023)

JOHN 20:13, 14, 15, 15, 16, 17

She saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been lying, they said to her, ‘Woman, why are you weeping?’ She said to them, ‘They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.’
When she had said this, she turned round and saw Jesus standing there.
Jesus said to her, ‘Woman, why are you weeping? For whom are you looking?’ Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, ‘Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.’
Jesus said to her, ‘Mary!’ She turned and said to him in Hebrew, ‘Rabbouni!’ (which means Teacher).
Jesus said to her, ‘Do not hold on to me, because I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, “I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.” ’

---- mine,

I AM here, I have not gone anywhere, I AM with you and I assure you that I will never leave you nor will I forsake you for you are irrevocably mine. Often times it is you who depart from Me, you choose to wander away from My Presence, in moments like this I come after you, I seek you until I find you and I carry you in My arms back to My fold. 

I know your name. ---- mine, I know your name. I have carved it on the palm of My hand. I never will forget you, I can never forget you. Just as I carry you with Me and in Me so too must you carry Me with you and go out into the world and make Me known and loved. Go out in My Name and proclaim the Good News by your life and I will come for you and I will take you with Me so where I AM you too may be. Fear nothing except separation from Me. When you fall come running back into My open arms and remember that there is no sin greater than My love. Remain in My love.

SIRACH 26:13-15 (2023) AT DAY'S END - 09 JUNE

SIRACH 26:13-15

A wife’s charm delights her husband,
   and her skill puts flesh on his bones.
A silent wife is a gift from the Lord,
   and nothing is so precious as her self-discipline.
A modest wife adds charm to charm,
   and no scales can weigh the value of her chastity.

---- mine,

Reflect on what I say to you this evening and pray earnestly for the grace to grow in these virtues.

JEREMIAH 31:20 (2023)

 JEREMIAH 31:20

Is not Ephraim my favored son,
the child in whom I delight?
Often have I threatened him, 

but I still remember him,
and my heart yearns for him.
I must show him mercy,” declares the Lord.

---- mine,

Do not be discouraged, do not be afraid for I AM with you. Remember that you have a Father in heaven who loves you, a Brother who redeemed you, and the Helper, the Holy Spirit, and Paraclete who lives in you, sanctifies you, sustains you, and gives you life. I do delight in you but you know that you are a sinner in need of chastisement, of constant purification and this is possible only through suffering. Suffering is the lot of all God's children who are being prepared to receive a share of My glory in eternity. Remember that tears and mourning, grief and sorrow last just for a night, rejoicing will come in the morning, the eternal day will dawn and the Light of the Son will never set. Be patient, humble, and obedient as you carry the cross which is shaped especially for you. Know that I AM you. I help you to carry your cross every step of the way. Know that I delight in you for you are mine, sealed in My Blood and marked by My Holy Spirit. You are Mine now and forever.

1 KINGS 17:22-24 (2023)

1 KINGS 17:22-24

The Lord listened to the voice of Elijah; the life of the child came into him again, and he revived. Elijah took the child, brought him down from the upper chamber into the house, and gave him to his mother; then Elijah said, ‘See, your son is alive.’ So the woman said to Elijah, ‘Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in your mouth is truth.’ 

---- mine,

I have spoken through the mouth of My anointed, I called you by your name and I assured you that I AM healing and blessing you. I AM blessing and healing all your loved ones for whom you have been praying with many tears night and day. I proclaimed and enumerated through his lips the kind of blessings that I AM showering on your loved ones. You can start testifying even now for every blessing, every miraculous healing has already begun. You will be awestruck and everyone who hears your testimony will praise My Name. The glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all people shall see it together, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.’ The Word of the Lord is Truth, ---- mine, be anointed and sanctified in the Truth.

NEHEMIAH 2:2, 6, 8

So the king said to me, ‘Why is your face sad, since you are not sick? This can only be sadness of the heart.’ 

(The queen also was sitting beside him)

And the king granted me what I asked, for the gracious hand of my God was upon me.

---- mine,

I, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords am with you. Do not be sad. Do not be discouraged. See, here beside Me is the Queen, she is My Mother, and yours. I gave her to you because she is the best of all Mothers. Just as I, the Son of the Living God, raised from the dead, and seated at His right hand make unceasing intercession for you and all who approach God through Me so too does My Mother. She is the Queen who sits at My right hand and she enjoys the same privilege with Me that I have with My Father. She who is My Mother is yours as well and she intercedes for you incessantly. If the King of Kings and the Queen of Queens is for you, ---- mine, no power against you and those you pray for night and day will succeed. Be not afraid. You are mine.

SONG OF SONGS 2:10-12

My beloved speaks and says to me:
‘Arise, my love, my fair one,
   and come away;
for now the winter is past,
   the rain is over and gone.
The flowers appear on the earth;
   the time of singing has come,
and the voice of the turtle-dove
   is heard in our land.

---- mine,

The time for mourning is past. Dry your eyes and sing joyful songs of praise in thanksgiving for all that I, who am your espoused to you, have done for you. The winter of your life is now visited by a glorious and fruitful springtime. The rain of your tears has watered your soul and blossoms bearing an abundance of good fruit that will last. Here I AM, I take you by your hand and I raise you up. Do not dwell on the past it is gone forever, focus on the eternal now - where I AM present and together we will overcome the world, the flesh, and the devil. A triumphant and resounding victory is won - evil is routed, death is no more, the Lamb that was slain has conquered and in Me, you, my Beloved, are more than a conqueror for My victory is yours, My triumph is yours, and My glory is yours for you are co-heir with Me in the Kingdom of My Father. Such is My Father's will. Rejoice and be glad for I have conquered and I reign forever and ever.

On that day, he will say, “Praise my fruitful vineyard!
I, the Lord, am its keeper; I water it every moment.
So that no one will harm it, day and night I guard it.”

As always I say to you once again and I will keep saying it until you fully believe and embrace joyfully the fact that you belong to Me. You are My possession. You are the work of My redemption and not just you but every member of your family - your spouse, your children, and you. No one can snatch what is Mine - I will remind you of this as often as you need to hear it. Do not be troubled, discouraged, or dismayed. I AM at work even though you do not see it. I have appointed angels to guard each of you night and day and I Myself nourish you, feed you, giving each of you all you need in every season of your lives. In the end, you will see, you will understand, and you will praise and glorify Me with great exultation. 

LUKE 7:13-15 - (2023)

LUKE 7:13-15

When the Lord saw her, he had compassion for her and said to her, ‘Do not weep.’ Then he came forward and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, ‘Young man, I say to you, rise!’ The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother.

----mine,

I have heard your cries, I have heard your sighs and I have answered you. Is anything too difficult for Me? I AM. I raised Lazarus from the dead. I raised the only son of the widow of Nain and restored him to his mother. I hear the cries of all mothers and I console them. My heart is always moved with pity and tender compassion when mothers reach out to Me and ask Me to touch, heal, and restore their child or children to live spiritually, physically, emotionally, and mentally. Here I AM I wipe - your tears and I say to each of your children individually what I said to that distraught, heartbroken mother, 'I say to you, rise!' Believe! All that I am saying to you now is accomplished by the power of My Word. Have faith and pray for the conversion of sinners and for the world.

HOSEA 11:3-4 (2023)

 HOSEA 11:3-4

Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk,
   I took them up in my arms;
   but they did not know that I healed them.
I led them with cords of human kindness,
   with bands of love.
I was to them like those
   who lift infants to their cheeks.
   I bent down to them and fed them.

---- mine,

I have been with you always, there has never been a moment when either you, your spouse, or your children have been out of My sight. Do not be troubled nor anxious for their salvation - I AM God who stoops low over you and yours. Have faith in My Word which is Truth and Life. Fear nothing. Continue to pray with praise and thanksgiving and make all your needs known to Me. Although I know all the desires of your heart it delights Me when you come to Me and confide in Me all your hopes for those you love. I AM pleased when you plead with Me to bless them with all the spiritual blessings in the heavenly places. It pleases Me that I AM constantly in your thoughts as you speak to Me and make known to Me all that lies heavy on your heart. I AM with you and with your family. I have called each of you by your name. You are Mine - redeemed, purchased, and sealed in My Spirit and nourished by My Body and Blood.
