The Door of Forgiveness

Wednesday morning, 02/07/07
Dear LORD,
I dreamed of darkness and rain. There was a road washing out and a bridge of broken rock over a river at flood stage. There was light on the other side beyond the bridge. There was a child sitting on a rock near the other side of the bridge, unafraid. The storm was beautiful at the same time as it was terrible. I crossed on foot to where the child was. I was more excited than afraid. It was wondrous somehow. I know the dream was about You, but I dont understand completely. Would You explain it to me?
Love,
S.

Dear S.,
I desire mercy, not sacrifice. The road is out. The creek is rising, and the only way home is by way of the Rock.
Bring My children with you when you come.
Love,
God

Saturday morning, 03/03/07 My Bride,
Allow Me to adorn you with good deeds,
which I will do through you,
and so present you to My Father pure and spotless.
Love,
Jesus

Saturday afternoon, 03/10/07 Dear S.,
I am setting wanted posters on the walls of your heart ... pictures of My lost children. I am going after them.
Pray.
Friday morning, 03/16/07

Dear LORD,
He was despised and we did not esteem Him. (Isaiah 53: 36) How can I esteem You LORD?
Love,
S.

Dear S.,

 

Inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.

(Matthew 25:40) Love,
God

LORD,
Help me to esteem the least of Your people. Love,
S.

Saturday morning, 03/17/07
Dear LORD,
Thank You for showing me that Your timing is perfect in all things. I trust Your timing of my husbands surgery and of the marriage retreat now. Please forgive my mistrust, and help me to conform my plans to Yours.
Love,
S.

P.S. What was the significance of the number 2 that You kept showing me? S.

Dear S.,
Its always 2. Me and you; Me and each one. Relationship is about 2.
Love,
God

God

26. It included Jesus substitutionary crucifixion, for Barabbas, which was a physical illustration of Jesus substitutionary death for each one of us. Substitution is a trade between 2. Dear LORD,

 

I think You are telling me to focus on my relationship with You, and not to worry about my husbands relationship with You. Its not about 3. Its about 2. Its like when Peter asked You, “But LORD, what about this man?” (John 21: 21)

 

and You replied “...what is that to you? You follow Me.”(John 21: 22)

 

Is that what You mean?

 

Love,

 

S.

Dear S.,
An intercessor is not a mediator. I Am the only mediator. An intercessor is not an intermediary. An intercessor ministers to Me while I work.
Love,
God

Sunday morning, 03/18/07 Dear LORD,
Show me how to minister to You while You work. Love,
S.

(I studied the Gospels that afternoon, for ways to minister to Jesus while He worked):

 

They were to do Gods will.

 

For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother. (Matthew 12: 50) They served people who werent able to give anything in return.

 

inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me. (Matthew 25: 40b)

She valued Him above all else.
a woman came to Him having an alabaster flask of very costly fragrant oil, and she
poured it on His head ...
(Matthew 26: 7-13)

They were asked to go without sleep just to be there for Him .
Sit here while I go and pray over there
. (Matthew 26: 36)
What, Could you not watch with Me one hour? Watch and pray lest you enter into
temptation. The spirit is indeed willing but the flesh is weak.
(Matthew 26: 40-41)
Are you still sleeping and resting?... ( Matthew 26: 45)
My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me. (Matthew 26: 38) They were asked to carry the Gospel message to everyone.
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo I am with you always, even to the end of the age. (Matthew 28: 19-21) He expressed gratitude.
Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the other nine? Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner? (Luke 17: 17-18)

They were asked to remain rooted in His word.

 

If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. (John 8:31)

They were asked to love one another as He had loved them.
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another. (John 13: 34)

Dear LORD,
Help me to minister to You as You work. Help me to do Your will. Give me a heart to serve people who arent able to give anything in return. Teach me to value You above all else. Help me to be willing to go without sleep in order to spend time with You. Give me the courage to carry the Gospel message to everyone. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit so that I can express gratitude to You. Protect me from my pride that wants to steal Your glory. Help me to be honest, and give You the glory for all You do. Help me to remain rooted in Your word, and disciplined in reading the Bible. Teach me to love people as You have loved me.
Love,
S.

Tuesday morning 03/20/07
Dear LORD,
I am overcome with a sense of not belonging in the School of Ministry. We were scolded about being late last week, when I thought I was on time. I felt resentful and unfairly accused, yet mad at myself for not knowing the unspoken rule about being there early. I couldnt shake the feelings. It was like when I was a little kid and couldnt do things right. I got in trouble when I was doing my best. It was all I could do to go to school last night. I should have been grateful because our senior pastor came to speak to us. Instead, I couldnt even smile at him. I couldnt laugh at his jokes. All of the times I have prayed for he and for his family are just words now. My actions were destructive. Now I feel even more like I dont belong. I feel a strong aversion when I even think about going to church. Help me LORD! I cant break this off of myself.
Love,
S.
Wednesday morning, 03/21/07

Dear LORD,
Please help me get out of this funk. I want to be used by You, and Im not useful like this. Love,
S.

Friday morning, 03/23/07
Dear S.,
Reserve for Me those who have not bowed the knee to Baal.

(1 Kings 19: 18, Romans 11: 4) You dreamed about a woman who was being stalked by a predator. In the dream, you urged her to report it. You said, “God has placed something wonderful within you. Dont let anyone derail it like I did.” You are that woman. You are being stalked by the enemy of your soul. I have placed something wonderful within you. Dont let anyone derail it. Its not too late.
Love,
God

Saturday morning, 03/24/07
Dear S.,
If your eye causes you to sin pluck it out ... (Matthew 18: 9, Mark 9: 47) Let Me be your eyes; and who has need of feet when they have wings to fly? Trust in Me. Love,
Jesus

Sunday morning, 03/25/07
Dear S.,
I put My Word into you from a young age. I chose you before the foundation of the world. I love you, and I am with you always.
Love,
God

Wednesday morning, 03/28/07
Dear S.,
Read My Word and follow it. What looks impossible through your human eyes is what I will do with you. I am real, and I am telling you the truth.
Your faithful friend,
Jesus
