He Comes

The Anointed One,
The Holy One,
The One who loved me enough to die for me,
The One who sits at the Father's right hand and intercedes for me...

This One is arising,
He is coming to deliver me.
He comes with all His glory,
Perfumed with the blood of the Lamb and the oil of the King,
He comes with the banner of victory,
To conquer all my enemies...

He comes with power,
He comes with love and announces:
"I have conquered your enemies,
I have fought and destroyed them,
I have won..."

This One comes, conquers, pursues and offers me an invitation...
An invitation to sit on His love seat, His mercy seat,
The seat that is possible to enter because of His shed blood,
The seat where forgiveness, rescue, wholeness and fullness happens...

Such love, grace, sacrifice and deliverance flow forth from this seat... to me,
Yes, love and mercy cover this seat with intent and desire,
Glory and power surround and blanket this seat.

He comes with such anticipation and delight
Desiring to purchase, free, rescue and cleanse me.

Yet...

Who am I that this Anointed One in all His power, glory, and strength would want me?
Who am I to have the pursuit of a King, of royalty, of someone willing to sacrifice Himself to obtain me?

He looks at me,
Calls me His chosen one,
              His beloved,
              beautiful...

Such burning affection and desire I cannot reject...
Such intense love...

He Finds Me

I hear the voice of my Beloved,
Here He comes,
Leaping with joy, over immense obstacles,
To find me...
He comes with much joy and anticipation,
To the place where I hide...

He knows the places I hide,
Hide from my feelings, hide from the pain, hide from the truth,
He comes to these places... and gazes...
Gazes into my soul,
With longing and desire.
Pursing me with His love,
Planting those seeds of hope and desire...

Yes, He comes,
Skipping over the hills of separation...
He comes,
Gazes...
Waits...

And then He announces,
"It is time My beloved,
It is time for the bondage of the barren winter to end!
It is time for the cold rains to disappear!
It is time for a new season ...
A new season of poured out grace to come,
A new day of destiny is surrounding you,
It is time for you to ARISE,
Come with Me to a higher place.
I have more for you, 
More fullness,
More joy, 
More goodness...

Come away with Me my precious one."

Song of Songs 2

The Dew of Joy

On my walk this morning, I passed a field that was thick with dew. Sparkling jewels glistened and the brilliant rays of the sun, as it slowly climbed in the sky, showcased its beauty.

The dew has a source that is unseen.
I can see the rain and the snow descending from the heavens to nourish the earth,
But the dew appears invisibly, yet it nourishes and refreshes the ground.

The dew is a bit like joy...

Joy is that gift that the Lord gives me, even though circumstances don't appear joyful.
Yes, it is showcased by the Son, as I gaze upon Him.
He pours it down, and up from the wells of living water within,
But I cannot see it.

But I can feel this gift, as it lessens the trial.
Joy allows me to see the provision that is possible,
It stirs up hope, creates ideas, leads to rest, restoring me to peace.

Joy is the key He gives me to enter...
Enter into His presence.

He tells me to rejoice at all times....
How He desires to pour out this gift of joy so He can march me to victory.
It is His protection, His medicine for me...

He loves to see His children exploding with joy, sparkling with delight,
Because it is then that He sees us discovering who He really wants to be for us.

The Father's Plea

Will you accept My gift,
My gift of revelation truth,
My gift that will make you wise, prosperous, hopeful, joyful, peaceful,
My gift that will cause you to lead, give you purpose in life,
My gift that marches you to victory?

Please don't reject My gift, ignore My gift, deem it as invaluable.
It has the keys to life.
Please don't receive it, then forget about it...

My dear one,
It is My cherished gift that will protect and rescue you.

It is My wisdom :
A most valuable commodity,
It will exalt you, bring you into honor and favor.

As My wisdom wraps itself around you,
You will shine with beauty and grace,
You will always be victorious in the race.

Listen, My dear one, I speak to you as your Father...
Your progress will have no limits when you choose Me and My ways...
As you walk with Me, your feet will not stumble or trip.
My wisdom is invigorating life, devoid of darkness.

Choose My path, My dear one...
My path is the highway of light,
My path shines with promise, hope, peace and joy.

Why would you choose to stray,
Onto the path of darkness,
Where trouble is waiting, pain is diffused, and destruction is waiting?
Why travel in the fog when you have the choice to travel with Me in the brightness of the day
   surrounded with promise and hope?

My dear one...
Set your gaze upon Me,
Have a fixed purpose,
A determined resolution,
To look straight ahead, ignoring the distractions of life...

Stick to the path of Truth.
This path is safe,
This path is smooth,
This path will lead you to wholeness and fullness.
This is the path I planned for you,
This is the path for the wise,
This is the path for you, My beloved...

Come I will go with you...


Proverbs 4

The Search

I sent Him away,

"I am not ready," I reasoned.
"I will come with You another time, when I am not busy."

But in the darkness, in the deepness of my soul, I ached.
I ached and yearned for the longing of my heart, for the hope of love, the hope of acceptance.
My heart had a hole.

I searched for filling...

I searched by doing,
Doing what I thought I should,
Doing, serving, sacrificing,
But it didn't help fill the hole.

I began to roam...
Trying to fill the hole with what the world says satisfies...

The hole only became bigger,
The cruelty of the world and my decisions began to crash upon me, leaving me in despair...


And then... I encountered Him.
He came...turned the Light on... revealed His heart of love.

"I found the One I adore, my Beloved!" Song of Songs 3:4 TPT

His love began to fill the hole, fill the yearn, take the ache and the pain away.
He truly was the One I had been searching for...

I fastened myself to Him,
He fastened Himself to me,
And we became joined,
Him in me, me in Him.

He is my Beloved and I am His.
He came, and I don't want Him to leave,
No, we are together now.

A season of a new grace...just like He promised.
Flowers began to appear and the birds began to sing...

Yes, my Beloved,
I will come away with You, Jesus,
Come away and allow You to wash me, cleanse me, catch those "foxes."

I will come away and allow You to love me completely!

Song of Songs 3

It is Time

I hear the voice of my Lover,
Here He comes,
Leaping with joy,
Over immense obsticles,
To find me.

He comes with much anticipation
To the place where I hide.
He know the place where I hide,
He knows the place I hide from my feelings, from my pain, from the truth.

He comes to me in these places,
And gazes,
Gazes into my soul,
With longing and desire,
Pursing me with His love,
Planting seeds of hope, seeds of desire.

Yes, He comes,
Skipping over the hills of separation,
He gazes,
Waits...

And the He announces:
"It is time My beloved,
 It is time for the bondage of the barren winter to end.
 It is time for the cold rains to disappear.
 It is time for a new season,
 A new season of poured out grace,
 It is time for a new day of destiny to surround you.
 It is time for you to ARISE and
 Come with Me to a higher place."

Come away with Me my beloved...

Song of Songs2:10-13 



 

Redeeming Love

Love like no other love,
Love that gives Himself,
Our Jesus, giving,
Willingly, until His body is unrecognizable from the beating,
Until His side is pierced,
Until the thorns are oozing scars and wounds,
Until the nails have ripped flesh. 
Redeeming love that did not stop with ridicule and suffering,
But was willing to go the whole way..die..bear the weight of the sin of the whole world,
Be forsaken even by His Father.

He did it all in love...to rescue us,
Took what we deserved upon Himself,
Although He was perfect in every way..

Redeeming love that came to earth as a baby, humbling Himself to be a man,
Even though He knew what was before Him...
Redeeming love that healed, performing miracles, touching lives,
Even though He knew what was before Him...
Redeeming love that walked the road to Calvary,
Although He knew the outcome... 

He was not forced, He did not argue,
Willingly He came, willingly He went, willingly He endured to the end,
Because of His love for me, because of His love for you.
Willingly His body died, entered hell and destroyed the enemy's plans with His power,
Willingly He conquered...all with redeeming love for His "precious ones," His sons and daughters,
To rescue them from the curse of their own doings.

Redeeming love that consumed Him for the joy that He saw on the other side,
His "precious ones" rescued from the enemy's grip, rescued from the curse, rescued from the pit...
His "precious ones,"  restored, victorious, filled with wholeness and joy...

Redeeming love that never ends,
But continues with His constant presence, His constant provision, His constant help, His constant 
    companionship.
Redeeming love of the King of Kings to His children,
Crowning us with royalty as we receive and enter into all He is for us...

Love like no other love,
Redeeming love
