The Spirit of the Lord Goes Before Us Empowering Us to Fulfill His Plan
It seems to be... this living vision I was given speaks of the Spirit of the Lord drawing us together as One Body... empowering us to both give and receive according to His unfolding plan for us. In my mind it relates to Jesus' words "Feed My Sheep". May it be a refreshing word of encouragement and inspiration:
In 1998, while going about my normal day... aware of Father God's Presence always with me communing, orchestrating my days with continual miracles.... thanking Him as He revealed His mind and heart to me ... still in awe of just how very much HE is continuously manifesting Himself in each of us and our daily lives.... I was filled with even more love, joy, peace and faith than I lived in only a moment before. Greatly desiring this for all mankind... for His sake as well as ours... I was given an awareness... an inner vision... of two hearts knit together as one through a mutual love......... The love of a father for His children...The love of a lover and His bride.... love not only meant to increase for each other but for their spiritual offspring as well. The Spirit of love... which originated through God Who is love... a love which was imparted and returned 100 fold on multiple dimensions .... as perfected.
The two hearts suddenly became a door through which people would walk ... and I was standing before it in what I discerned to be a living vision. I was drawn through the doors... at first I was aware I was alone... in the midst of a great light... which I knew to be Father God's Presence... gradually I became aware there were others coming in too... aware He had drawn each of us. We were delighted... and surprised... yet not surprised to see so very many who loved God with all their hearts gathering together for a divine purpose not yet completely revealed. We were all under a spiritual dome filled with light and divine energy... HIS Holy Essence... a dome not like any man has ever created or could... it appeared to be immeasurable once inside. Upon entering in... each person found themselves drawn on... as if by an unseen force to meet who they had been brought there to meet... hear or see... or speak to... or receive from... for a purpose God Himself had predetermined.
Every possible scenario was taking place... for HE had directed our steps and had ordained the moments. As the number of people grew I became aware of a repeated pattern of different people being divinely networked together... some were already worshipping... or praying... in pockets of small or larger groups... those who were alone eventually found themselves drawn to another and their hearts were instantly knit through His love and faith within... eventually forming another group. Some people were gathered around a person speaking.... listening intently... some were speaking as a group all having something to add for the benefit of the whole.... no one person stood out among them.... all could recognize Christ within the other. Some were simply meeting for the first time and seeing God's coincidences in their lives, as their hearts were knit and their faith increased... as an ever increasing awareness of HIS power and promises fulfilled, was manifested. These it seemed either had a need or a gift... and both recognized this is the person... or people God wanted to use to bring His vision... call ... or further His divine purpose for their lives or another's... into Being. An understanding was given that One's call ... purpose would not be fulfilled without the other having divinely met according to His eternal plan and timing.... and they each recognized they were each only a small piece of a divine eternal plan.... of Christ living on through them and others of a like mind. No one man was elevated above another, usurping the role of God in another's lives or mind... all recognized the uniqueness of their role and the role of another, through Christ within empowering them. Some simply had excesses they were giving away... aware freely they had received and freely they gave... as God revealed the need they could... would fulfill.... or in some cases confirmed why they had brought what they were led to bring, as they stepped out in faith. Miracles abounded as God made His Presence and will known... empowering all according to His eternal plan and timing.
I was acutely aware God's Spirit had done this... we were His people... His church... and this spiritual dome only represented what He was already doing all over the world, only many were unaware of the magnitude due to not yet having been given eternal spiritual eyes to see. I knew we would all become aware of Him in our daily lives more and more through the divine coincidences He would manifest. I saw the universal spiritual synchronicity He would continue to bring about.... to reveal His will and love to us in ways man as a whole has not known... experienced personally to such a degree before. I knew we His people were one, through Jesus our brother... whether we recognized it or not... but the time would soon come when we would each see Him everywhere and in the lives of all of us... in all of life... redeemed, recognizing His will being revealed in ways some had not previously recognized.... nor yet experienced... or had previously considered to be not 'of God'... having unconsciously judged through their natural thinking and cultural preconditioning... and not through the spirit of God's love and truth and universal consciousness. I recognized God had overcome and eternally redeemed all for us and Himself... at the foundations of the world... and He was continually bringing His will into Being according to His eternal plan and timing.... as I received His blessings ... recognizing further... my unity with Him and His Own... a work HE was revealing to me in my present eternal moment.
After receiving this awareness in the form of a living vision... I began singing in the Spirit and instantly found myself standing in God's Presence at another place. I was aware I was in an eternal sacred place and moment... His great light and Essence was all around. It encompassed all... and I was not alone. You were all with me... we were spiritual Beings... and I sensed We were all gathered together worshipping the Lord in unison, aware of His completed work as one body... on the last day... so to speak. A day when all of mankind knew and experienced God's love and truth as their own. We all had the same understanding... we had the mind and life of Christ alive within. We were one... and everyone who ever existed knew the truth of and through Jesus Christ... all knew and were experiencing the unconditional love of our Father... who created us for this eternal moment... and more... joy, peace... spiritual revelations and understanding and a love inexpressible with words alone... filled our hearts and souls. We were blessing God with our love in return ... with our entire being filled with gratitude... and a great joy and peace ... words alone cannot express the whole of that which was transpiring.
Suddenly I saw my body... as if through an opening in a spiritual window... down on earth... standing arms lifted in praise... singing through His spirit ... filled with love and wonder and more. An awareness entered my mind... "Oh My God... I'm going to fall down under Your power... and there is no one to catch me." Suddenly I was back in my body. At first I was angry at myself... for getting my eyes off of the Lord and onto myself... thinking this had caused the experience to end... the anger and disappointment left as I heard: "Do not deceive yourself, it was I Who did that, not you. Always remember... I Am the creator and perfecter of each of your faith ... of your lives ... rest in My love and the faith I have given you, as you continue to follow after My spirit of love and truth... as you continue to commune with Me and I with you."

One of the easiest ways to care for another Spirit, Soul and Bodily
One of the easiest ways to care for another is to simply choose to love them as you would be loved... as we are loved by our heavenly Father... without judgment...treating them as one reconciled to our Father already.
Jesus left us with the message... if we love Him we will feed His Sheep... in feeding His Sheep... we can reach out to the Spirit of the resurrected Christ within them. Not one of us is without sin... all have fallen short, missed the mark... when we are given eyes to see the risen Spirit of Christ in everyone... the resurrection power of Jesus is evident in and through our life. Through His Spirit returning to earth resurrected in and through us, we love as He loved... He cares for the whole person through us... goes before us and makes the way.... empowers us with His Spirit... gives us spiritual discernment, wisdom, revelations knowledge and understanding.
It is good to choose to love ourselves as well... for we are loved unconditionally, we cannot earn pure love nor destroy it and through the love we come to the Spirit of the Lord... our Father to receive, we gather seeds of love to give and harvest anew.
There was a season when I had no earthly husband... Jesus related to me in such a role in spirit and in truth... and took care of me and taught me how to care for others as His Spiritual Bride. He offered me His love and I accepted. He offered me a listening heart and I accepted.... He offered me a intimate relationship and I accepted... He offered me ways and means... guidance and empowerment.... discernment and revelation knowledge... faith and joy and I accepted. He offered me.............. and I accepted. I surrendered to and trusted in the love, truth and empowerment He offered.... which revealed the heart and will of our Father in a way ... through a reality I cannot deny. I continue to trust having surrendered my all.
On Valentines day one year... someone was led to send me a Valentines Card from Jesus. Upon opening it I heard... 'Your heart will no longer be mine alone... I am bringing You a husband.' Then He proceeded to tell me about him... how our relationship would unfold, His eternal purpose for it... our role .... He showed me our future... and the future for some, it has been unfolding as our reality since. He has brought this into being... as we have surrendered to it's unfolding and hoped in His promises.
At first I resisted.... I was 'afraid' by loving this husband to be... it would cause me to love Jesus less .... . 'In loving him... you will be loving me.' was His reply. 'To love him... to love another... to choose to love strengthens our love, increases our love, unites our love and........'
I adore Jesus... as a spiritual husband, a best friend, a brother, as a role model, one who comforts and guides ... for Who He has revealed HimSelf, His Spirit and the heart of Our Father to Be. I adore our Father.... and am grateful for the endowment of His Holy Spirit.... am grateful for the awareness I can trust Him with my life, I can trust Him in and through the life of those He lays on my heart. I will never be able to thank Him enough.... and rest in the awareness of that. I do not have a need to earn His love... I know it experientially... it brings me peace and joy. He has given me the revelation I will never be able to destroy it or earn it anyway, so why would I choose to be anxious about something I have no power to change. He has brought me into His rest. I desire the same for others and stand in the gap through the power of His Spirit with hope ... empowered ... aware ~ all in due season.
I have seen and embraced my darkside... as well as the light within which has chased away the darkness... and brings me ever forward into His light... His love... the unfolding of His eternal plan. When I see such in another... I rejoice and stand in His truths ... in the Spirit of His love.... with an awareness ALL is working out for the good... Jesus having died for each of us ... Jesus having reconciled us to our Father at the foundations of the world ... in the beginning. He is truly the light of the world which exposes the darkness and sets the captives free. May His light shine forth from within and in our mist with increasing awareness.
As true to His word... my husband and I love one another.... our relationship is maturing... we both know He brought us together for His Kingdom sake and are grateful. We are coming to understand our independent unique gifts and talents.... and choose to honor the Spirit of Christ in one another. It is our desire to honor Him in everyone... in all of His creation.... for the earth groans and travails for the manifestation of the mature sons and daughters of Almighty God... He has given us His heart... may it be known according to the unfolding of His eternal plan.
When death was swallowed up in victory... to the point of there being no more sting... it was through love... Love overcame death.... love is eternal. We have been given the keys to hell and death .... the Spirit of Truth, Spirit of Love, Spirit of Holiness, the Spirit of Eternal Life. Through receiving these keys we come to know His Spirit is eternal... His truths are eternal.... His unconditional love is eternal. Our life of love is eternal... Our life of death will no longer exist. That which is impure ceases to be having been swallowed up in purity... sinlessness. That which is love, truth, holy, eternal remains... we can Be of the Spirit and purity of love..... we can be loving..... we can live a life of love... a righteous life through the Spirit of Christ in our now ... from moment to moment to moment... with the power to begin anew. May all come to know the power of the resurrected Christ within and in our mists... in this lifetime ... through our journey in time and eternity.
When made aware, we can choose to love... and not let our feelings, lower nature rule. We can choose to seek to do what is best, righteous for all, not only self. We can be motivated by love.... empowered by love... enriched through love. We can choose to see through new eyes... eternal eyes .... the eyes of the Spirit. Eyes of faith in the goodness of our creator... imparting His goodness in all of life... reconciling and restoring all unto HimSelf through Christ. All revealed through the righteous and holy Eyes of eternal love.
Thank You Father for empowering us with Your love. For Your goodness. For life... everlasting. For Your Holy Spirit and all which is offered through Your having endowed us with it. May we come into the fullness of Your love and truth for us. May we be overcome with Your love and truth. Saturated through the Spirit of it. May Your love and truth be shed abroad in and through our hearts and minds. May it's healing power continue to overcome sin, sickness, dis ease, the oppressions of darkness. May Your truths ... Your eternal Light rule... may Your words... Your promises not return to You void. May their fulfillment be known in our now.
Thank You Father... by the stripes and shed blood of Jesus we were set free.... we have been reconciled to You. Spiritual Death... and it's consequences...is no longer a stronghold in our lives. It having been replaced by the restoration power of Your Holy Spirit of love and truth awakened within. May the evidence of Your holiness, Your eternal wisdom, Your truth... Your abiding love reign in our hearts and lives. May Your love.... Your truths.... Your holiness... mercy and grace continue to establish Your Kingdom on earth as it already exists in You. May it reign in and through us giving evidence of Your truth which cannot be denied. May the returning the Spirit of Christ in the hearts, minds and lives of Your ever maturing children manifest the resurrection of Jesus... in ways no one can deny or explain away; leaving us speechless standing in awe.
We stand... embracing the victory which is ours through Jesus Christ... in awe of You and Your eternal plan with hands lifted expressing our grateful hearts. (o)

One of the easiest ways to care for the soul
It seems to be one of the easiest ways to care for the soul ... your own or another's is to simply listen. Really listen.
Many just need to know they are being heard.... and if they believe you are in tune with the Spirit of the Lord and have difficulty believing He hears their prayers... will attempt to reach Him through you. While listening to their hearts, you can pray for them, within your mind.... seek His counsel, and offer it when appropriate.
Some need to have their words repeated back to them, such can be insightful... as we do not always know what we believe consciously. 'So what you are saying is.......' Later in the day the Holy Spirit may bring the conversation to mind causing us to reflect upon it ... receiving further insight.... hence having had the ability to express it/listen to another, with compassion, can be very powerful and one of the ways the Spirit of the Lord chooses to live through a willing vessel and increases our faith.
Others simply need a sounding board, a listening ear, so they can hear their thoughts out loud and figure things out for themselves as they seek inner guidance. If this is your need ... find someone you trust who you know will be willing to listen, really listen ... before you begin make them aware, you are using this time as a form of prayer, in your effort to receive inner guidance.... and encourage them to simply listen for now as they seek His wisdom with you. Often a solution/conclusion comes and when it does, everyone not only feels better, each feels better about themselves and in some cases, their relationship with the Spirit of the Lord.
Through such a process each can become more open, wiser, and compassionate.
When someone begins to repeat themselves, it's sometimes a sign it's time to move on... to ease into something new ... although not always... repetition of one of the ways we learn and matters come into focus.
