April 8

My beloved Church…abandon yourselves fully to Me, My children. Speak often to Me and allow yourselves to be set apart from the world. If your mind and heart is caught up in Me-you will be different-you will look, act and speak differently from the world- but you will be pleasing My heart and blessing the world in your simple holiness, set-apartness. 

​

Think more of Me and less of yourselves. Tell Me that you trust Me with all things- your heart, your families, your jobs, and where you will be when various crises’ arise in your little area of the world. Do you not realize that all things are in My hands- who lives, who dies, who rules, even satan and his minions can only go as far as I allow. I AM the great king of your world. I AM Lord, shepherd, creator, lover, and bridegroom.

​

I belong to everyone, so great humility is needed in My church. You only see in part right now (1 Corinthians 3:12). Do not cling too tightly to your visions, plans, dreams, theologies, right now - even your denominational interpretations of scripture. Scripture is God-breathed and contains all that you must know about me in this life. But, too many of you think you have ME, the timing of tribulation events, others, your own hearts figured out and you do not. You will be very humbled one day when you see Me face to face. 

So for now, humble yourselves in your theologies and cling tightly to Me. 

Do you realize where your own heart is deceived- where you have made a god of your own scriptural interpretations?

​

Scripture is my revealing of Myself. But truth itself, is an,  I, truth is a person. Scripture is a means to Me. But cling to Me as you read scripture, hide in My shadow as you search the scriptures (Psalm 91). Cling to My word, but loosely and humbly where your brothers and sisters in Christ disagree. I died for that Christian brother or sister with whose theology you so vehemently disagree. 

Hear me today church…I AM in the Catholic Church, the Protestant churches, the Charismatic churches, the Orthodox churches. You cannot and will not put Me in your theological boxes and succeed. I am also without the churches. I AM wherever I choose to be. Do not limit Me, where I do not limit Myself.  I AM and you are mine as you must abide in truth and love. (John 17).

Your theologies will not save you, your religious practices will not save you, I AM the only one who can do that. And I save you because I love you. Your denominations, your predestination, your ideas of politics, My blood, rapture, Mary, confession, priesthood, and pastors will not save you. Are there not certain truths about Me or My character that you did not understand when you first began to follow after Me that you see more clearly later? The same with your differing doctrinal issues. Many of you are condemning those who actually understand My thoughts and heart on a subject better than you. Hold loosely to your theologies as you hold on tightly to Me, even if you think they are scriptural.

Some of you are condemning your brothers and sisters because of Me. This must not be. 

Humble yourselves to one another as I continue to do for you. Do not waver on Me crucified, My coming in the flesh, the efficacy of My body and blood on the cross to save you, My resurrection, the power of communion and confession, the Godhead- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. But bend where you differ with other Christians on other matters (1 Corinthians 10:23-24, Romans 14.) Only the humble and pure of heart will see me now and in the next life (Matthew 5:8). Church, many call Me Lord, Lord… but do not know Me, they know My scriptures like the Pharisees of My times but do not know Me (Matthew 7:21). The Pharisees clung to the scriptures, but often wrongly; they did not cling to Me, the great I AM in their midst. 

Cling to Me and My heart alone, church. There are many rooms in My house, church, (John 14:2). Yes, I remain "the way, the truth, and the life" (John 14:6). There are many ways to FIND Me , SEEK Me, and worship Me that offend you, but do not offend Me. I receive so little worship compared to what I deserve, wouldn’t you take all the worship that came to you, if you were Me?

I AM returning but not in the way or the time that many of you expect. Until then LOVE ME ALONE, CHURCH. I AM and will always be (Revelation 22:13) Align yourself with Me- more love for Me- more humbling yourself in your theologies, more heart, more confession, more communion, more prayer, and not because you fear the loss of Me- but because you need Me, love Me, want Me. This is how you draw the bridegroom. This is how you prepare for My coming, My beloved bride, My church. 

I remain always, a word away, a glance, a nod, a hope, a casting off of fear and care, a confidence away. I am truly yours, church. BE truly mine. 

Your great God
