REMEMBER and COME

Father has been reminding me of many times over the years that He has touched me and changed my life.

He spoke to me in my heart and said Come to Me.
He woke me up in the wee hours a few nights ago with the word “Come”. over and over.
Two present words from the Lord. Remember and Come. 
Come to Him and remember what He has done for you.
REST IN THE RESURRECTION. 
REST IN WHAT HE HAS DONE.

Remember: Bring to mind an awareness of someone or something. recall, recollect 
Come:  to move or travel towards someone or something.

Life can often be difficult and hard. All over the world, people are sick and dying, losing jobs, and suffering. At times in our lives the painful hits can come so quickly, like the sudden downpour of a torrential rain. The battery of raindrops comes in fast and hard, one hit after another, making it hard to recover from one before another strikes.  We find ourselves knocked to our knees, down for the count. Although the position may not feel good, being on our knees may be the best place to experience the protection and victory of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

God wants us to move closer to Him. He is calling us. COME AND REMEMBER.

It’s Resurrection Sunday! We celebrate Jesus’ resurrection from death, sin and sickness! HE ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN! HALLELUJAH! We celebrate His resurrection in our hearts every day as we continually feast in His reviving Presence and LOVE.

Father spoke to me of Rest this week to share with you.
And to you who are troubled- rest   2 Thessalonians 1:7, NIV:
Remember, He is coming back and His parousia is happening every moment as He gets closer and closer to each of us.

Psalm 37:7 Be still  [Rest] before the LORD and wait patiently for Him.
We rest in His promises and we wait for Him to speak in our secret place. Continue to contemplate and meditate on His Word. His grace and comfort and assurance seeps into our hearts as we wait in His Presence.

Strive to enter into rest Heb 4:1-

Be still [ rest] and know that I am God.  Ps 46:10 He is ALL POWERFUL! 

Faith is the connection to all the glory of God and the kingdom of God. What have you put your faith in? JESUS IS THE ROCK OF OUR SALVATION, SURE AND STEADFAST.

The Creator of the Universe loves us and has given us access to His very nature, and His kingdom, No power in the Universe (all of space and time, and their contents) can separate us from Him and His love.
Truth is a Person Who lives in our hearts.  His name is Jesus.
HALLELUJAH!  HE’S ALIVE!

Faith is built over time as we continually turn to Him when we need help, thanking, praising and worshiping Him  during the storms. Remember, in the middle of the tempest in the boat, the disciples cried out for help! Jesus was in the boat with them, sleeping and resting. They woke Him up and cried out to Him How can you sleep? He got up and said… no faith, huh? PEACE BE STILL and the storm ended.

Holy Spirit whispered that to me last week as I sat at the beach and watched the quiet waves inching their way towards the rocky shore. The sun was shining brightly outside and  the Son was shining inside, in my heart. PEACE BE STILL. He spoke to me, and my heart was quieted. I had cast all my cares onto His back, and had come into a place of peaceful trust and rest.
I REST IN THE RESURRECTION. I COME TO HIM AND REMEMBER WHO HE AND WHAT HE HAS DONE.

Ephesians 3:17-19  (TPT)

17 Then, by CONSTANTLY USING YOUR FAITH, the life of Christ will be released deep inside you, and the resting place of his love will become the very source and root of your life.

18–19 Then you will be empowered to discover what every holy one experiences—the great magnitude of the astonishing love of Christ in all its dimensions. How deeply intimate and far-reaching is his love! How enduring and inclusive it is! Endless love beyond measurement that transcends our understanding—this extravagant love pours into you until you are filled to overflowing with the fullness of God.

Psalm 103:4
Colossians 1:13-14
Job 19:25  MY REDEEMER LIVES!!

“My Redeemer Lives and I will see His glory
as He works all things together for my good.
Whatever things occur, if this I can be sure,
I KNOW MY REDEEMER LIVES.
Even though I walk through the valley,
I will fear no evil, HE IS WITH ME
and on the battlefield, although the pain is real,
Our struggles soon will fade as His glory is revealed!
My Redeemer lives!”
