3R’s; raw, real, revelatory

I don’t need to feel to know that You are Here, O Ancient of days – I’ve seen your faithfulness to man; the 3 Hebrew boys in the fire – you were there with them in the fiery furnace. Their obedience to you, their refusal to bow and worship a false god, consumed in zeal, fidelity, reverence for Your holy name❤️‍🔥. They were already on fire. 🔥 The fire in their hearts was fiercer than the fiery furnace ❤️‍🔥.

🔥Set our hearts on fire, that we may burn, purged from every carnal appetite❤️‍🔥, and come out pure as Gold. The pure will see Him and as they behold, they become transformed into that same image… it’s the restoration of what was lost in Eden. Every man, not for themselves, but for the image of God…. But you must loose your life before encountering the Life ~ Jesus. And these decisions are all sponsored from a heart that receives the Love of the Father.

Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬ ‭

”But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.“

Love never fails, so I will stay in your love, keeping Your commandments (if i’m very honest, this is all prophetic because the word doesn’t return void, but I have a will; the throne of my soul. And I find it doesn’t always want Jesus.

What have I been feeding on throughout the week? My fleshly desires have grown, the Spirit is quenched. This is my death note. I must lay down my will and then the words I read will become my life. I’ll be a sermon written in the flesh……yes, didn’t I sing that song: 🎶 “I have decided to follow Jesus, no turning back, no turning back🎶 ? )

Faith is my only foundation, not feelings ~they fluctuate. My ear must be tuned to that frequency of His voice (🕊️I must be still in faith, and let Him speak, tarry in the secret place 🕊️ ).

Faith comes by hearing 👂, and hearing by the word of God 📖🕊️💡 ~ the voice of the Spirit behind the word of God which is living and active; otherwise I won’t see it active in my life; if there’s no Spirit empowerment there is no abundant Life

Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭13

”For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.“‭‬‬

Otherwise, without faith, I will become puffed up in my knowledge, very prideful, no revelation of the life of Jesus in my living, just knowledge without action or transformation, even the demons believe and tremble! There’s a response from them! Ooooh I must respond❤️‍🔥‼️

Faith is resolute and stubborn. My confidence is in you Lord, that you sent Your Son to be my sin and die on the cross for my liberation. Thank you. Now I can ascend. I’m in His gates, now it’s time to push through to the Holies of Holies. What does 🎶I want to see You🎶 mean to me? And the journey is far and deep, many new measures to explore as we go from glory to glory, faith to faith.

Let’s grow together, discipline ourselves to prayer. It is possible. It all starts with drinking from the well of His agape love.

Till forevermore

Comfort, Yes comfort My bride 👰‍♀️✝️

What I hear God saying from the secret place:

🕊️Intimacy first my child, intimacy first. Seeking my face before your requests. 🕊️

God is not a genie. He is looking for lovers.

Seek Him, in the secret place, in that place of fellowship, your needs will then be taken care off. He knows them, and He knew them before you existed.

Beloved, why do you worry? Will worrying add a single measure to your life? You’re life is hidden in Me (I’m jealous for you🫵). Swallow your pride and seek Me forevermore.

You were made for Me, forevermore.

Till death do us closer…

Loose your life in Me (it’s an invitation to surrender).

Loose your life in Me

Receive the grace to live a holy life, take hold and don’t let go

Right now, I hold My winnowing fan, I am shaking the earth with My wonder and fear.

The church needs to repent (not the building, you and I).

Idolatry, Jezebel, false prophecy, witchcraft (rebellion, manipulations) you have entertained in your hearts for too long.

Redeem the time, build the altar, get the oil and in your getting, obtain understanding to never stop seeking Me ~ Know the time 🕰️

Now is high time to awake out of simple mindedness, complacency, naivety – WAKE UP!!!

For our now faith pursues the ever increasing nearness of our salvation.

”Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.“

Romans‬ ‭13‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭

Hide this word in you’re heart – I live there by the Spirit, we’re married remember?

I Your Maker am Your Husband

Do you remember our wedding vows?

God: I will never leave you nor forsake you.

You & I: I will deny ungodliness and love you with all.

I in you and you in Me. Receive my engrafted word which is able to save your soul, transform you into the superior you you’re becoming.

Stay there where I breathe life into your soul, removing the grave clothes.

Beautifying My temple, waking in love ✝️, fragrance delightful**, the world could never afford this perfume. Because it’s free, but it will cost you everything to keep the aroma!

Keep the aroma beloved!

The world reeks of iniquity. Folly if you return.

The world doesn’t need you. It needs Me. Be My vessel, souled-out. I come quickly (when you least expect) and My reward is with Me, to give everyone according to his work.

E T E R N I T Y A W A I T S Y O U

Eternity is knowing Jesus

Yet you won’t know Him or rejoice in the signs if you only see this earthly realm. It’s passing away.

Your house is to meet with me in this world so you remember you’re not of it. This is for thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth (that’s you 🫵) as it is in heaven (where you are from).

I’m preparing your mansion 🏠

I can’t wait to meet you

Love you infinitely

Your Heavenly Father.

**there is a sensual manifestation of glory when you offer your body as a living sacrifice

A quote from Matthew Henry ~ A minister:

It ought to be the business of every day that we prepare for our last day.”

This took a different turn…😬

Something on your “to-do list” that never gets done.

Q: What does this prompt reveal about mankind? 🤔

A: Many plans does a man have in his heart but the Lord establishes His steps. (Proverbs 19:21)

What is something on your “to-do list” that never gets done?

A plan that never materialised.

A desire from the heart that one couldn’t put legs too.

An ambition that was too ambitious, killing the hope, breeding despair or perhaps fear to try again?🫣😖

What a shame 😔

We plan to do so much, boasting about tomorrow🥱

We’re really breathing by the mercy of God. Our lungs filled with His desperate long-suffering towards us, not wishing that any should perish in their sins.

🕊️ ALL SHOULD COME TO SEE HIS GOODNESS: Jesus died on the cross for you and I so that we can be forgiven and come into right relationship with God~ Our Heavenly Father!✝️❤️

Yes, this is powerful! ~ this can stop the chaos in our land; the wars, violence, sexual immorality, depression, sleep paralysis, demonic oppression, drug abuse. This gospel heals the heart. Because man, in all his doing, is really broken, sin stricken and searching for eternity in a world full of fleeting pleasures.

His goodness will lead us to true repentance.

And this eternity your soul cries for is to know Him, to know His eternal love for you – to know Jesus Christ.

Now the response required: A real 180 turn around, not an exaggerated and vain boast of faith in Jesus with no real demonstration of change.

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked

For whatever a man sows, that he will reap.

(Galatian’s 6:7)

*********Salvation 🕊️❤️✝️🙌🏿*************

Let Christ come in and give you life. A life of peace, joy and love. Things you just can’t buy nowadays right??

This would be the wisest decision you ever make!

There are many wise fools in hell because they couldn’t grasp the simplicity of the gospel message: the Son of God came to earth to shed his blood (representing life) as a sacrifice and atonement for mankind’s continual sin.

He lived a sinless life so His blood truly cleanses us from all sin (which, by nature, is spiritual as it’s passed down from one generation to the next without being physically seen by the naked eye). Jesus still gives blood donors today! 🤩 🩸 ✝️

Yes many people will laugh and mock at this message (and maybe you are too 😑) but what solution do they propose for depression, anxiety, wars, rape, murder, std’s, suicide?? Do I go on?? How long have we tried life without Him ; we can clearly see all the death around us no??? 💀

Maybe it’s time to taste and see that the Lord is good?!?

That can start with you today.

If you want to receive Jesus , you can say this prayer aloud:

Dear God

I come to you just as I am. A sinner.

I believe that Jesus died on the Cross for my sins and that you rose him
again on third day. Please forgive me for my sins.

Thank you for dying for my sins on the cross. I receive your forgiveness.

I pray that you will empower me to walk in holiness and righteousness. I ask
that you may fill me up with your Holy Spirit.

I declare now that I am a born-again Child of God. I am free from the power of sin and full of the righteousness of God. Thank you, Jesus, for saving my soul. I am yours and you are mine in Jesus’ name. Amen.

(Key note: Hey there, I really do want to emphasise this: Please don’t put your trust in this prayer to save you. The grace and mercy of Jesus Christ has saved you. This prayer is merely the avenue for you to accept what He has done for you and I. Also, you need to mean this. It’s a matter of life and death, heaven and hell, eternal joy and eternal flame. God bless you in Jesus name and may God keep you firm in your decision to trust wholeheartedly in Jesus Christ until the day we see Him face to face! Amen.)

If you said that prayer with belief in your heart, you are now a child of the most high! 

Praise the Lord!

Heaven is rejoicing over the decision you have just made!

Now we must repent daily (turn from our sins to God) and strive to follow Jesus wholeheartedly as a response to his death for our liberty. We are now free from the power Sin had to condemn us to a deserved eternal punishment in Hell! Praise the Lord. We are now in right standing with God! We are now restored to the purpose for our existence: A relationship with God!

Also, God has a perfect plan for your life, that will bring Him glory and satisfy your soul’s longing for purpose and identity!

Tips that will help you on your journey with Christ:

⁃ pray daily

⁃ Start reading the bible (preferably start with Romans ch 5-8 to consolidate your understanding of what Jesus dying truly means for us and the gospels books which are Matthew, Mark, Luke and John)

⁃ Find a Christ preached church (Ask God to lead you)

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the sweet fellowship of the Holy spirit be with you all. Amen.

Jesus is coming 🤩|😟

Jesus the only name by which men are saved

Yet the name the devil has influenced the world to mock, ridicule and use in vain.

He’s blinded many. Manipulating many into thinking “God loves me 🥰” means I can stay the way I am (because I rule my life, I’m my own god 😤😩). Abiding in the comfort of their sin. Some examples plaguing our society today: Homosexuality, drunkenness, pride, pornography, laziness, procrastination. Continuing to abuse His grace and mercy, He is extending in this hour towards you and I.

One day, the ark of salvation will shut, And the wrath of God will flood the earth. No one will be prepared for that great and terrible day. It will come like a thief in the night. Many will be drinking and making merry, getting lit, popping bottles, living their ‘best life’

Not realising the life they have kept and the breath they deceitfully claimed was theirs was really their pitiful demise unto eternal damnation 🔥🔥🔥

The life they tried to save……they will end up loosing and be thrown into an everlasting darkness – people weep and gnash their teeth there 😭😬.

But those who gave up their life and realised their breath wasn’t their own and their bodies were temples….. Oh what Joy!🥳🥳🥳

They spent their lives on the altar of God for others to see The Truth.*

The Truth is that Jesus is the only way to heaven.

Every other way is false.

Time to be real clear with it. No sugar coating, no watering down now saints!

Proverbs‬ ‭29‬:‭25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

”The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe.“
‭‭

Amen

*wow that really convicted me…Lord Jesus may I stay with you. Amen 🙏🏿

Don’t seek to be known; seek Jesus

I was on my way to a prayer meeting and I got this revelation from the Lord when I was reading John 7:4:

”For no one does anything in secret while he himself seeks to be known openly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world.”

*for context, this is Jesus’ brothers speaking to Jesus about making himself known in Judea at the Feast of the tabernacles*

The spirit of this world will always implore us to make our talents, gifting, ability (which comes from God btw, for His glory and not our own) known to the world. This seems reasonable at first glance.

But the issue is the desire.

As believers, we don’t need to seek to be known, otherwise we will be known and Jesus won’t! Yet we alone (at best) offer this broken and perverse world emptiness, vanity and clothe our spiritual, sinful nakedness with filthy rags without Jesus as our life.

Our days are a mere vapour bound to vanish. Yet even this measly vapour of a life, once surrendered to the Fathers will, can become in the Father’s exhale 😮‍💨 a conquering wind of liberty to the United Kingdom, for souls to be set free from sin. But we must uphold his statutes from a place of love and discern His timing. Tarry in the secret place, until He builds you (this is really a word for you).

The way of the Kingdom is very much opposite to the wisdom of this world. Don’t seek to be known. Seek Jesus – seek to make Him known and He will make your name known for His glory. But first there is a transaction that must occur in the secret place. You must pay the price of the flesh (the old man, sinful nature) on the altar ~ Romans 12:1 says we are living sacrifices.

Ask Him:, 🗣️‘what does it cost me to bring Jesus to this godless society? (Cheeky hint: check your screen time 🙃🥲) This question will make your flesh squirm, it’s scary ohhhh 🫣😫….. Oh there’s a price for genuine authentic power to heal this world.

Look how many times Jesus withdrew from working a miracle or the crowd to pray. Prayer!!! This is what I’m learning. This 2024 is a year of prayer for me. What will it be for you? (genuinely though I’m curious, not asking this for rhetorical effect, you can leave a comment on this post below if you like and let’s discuss 😊🙏🏿)

A quote from a man of God that’s stayed with me: 🗣️A living sacrifice can still crawl of the altar.

It’s a choice; consecration is a choice. You must die to self so all we see is Jesus. Don’t be full of self! Don’t be selfish!!!❌ Your death is needed for someone to see Jesus. Your death will change the destiny of generations and the nations in Jesus name!

Come on!! 😫 The earth is groaning for the sons and daughters of God to be revealed in this hour ⏰ 🎺 🌏 .

Make it groan a little less. He loves you. ❤️

Final scripture I want to leave you with (meditate on this if you can ~ there’s always more than what meets the eye if you hunger and thirst for righteousness):


‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭1‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭

”Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began,“

An invitation to die, so that we might come alive only in Jesus

Say: 🗣️ “Earth, while it is Day, I will fulfil the destiny of the One who created you… your groans shall not be in vain anymore (earthquakes 🌍 , tremors , tsunamis 🌊) – my heart is quickened to the nearing reality of salvations call…. yes Lord, yes I respond”

2024

i’ve been looking at my heart lately and i’m seeing how wicked i am 😭. Like Lord please have mercy on me. i say to you, eat and drink and be merry 🥳🥂 but my heart isn’t with you 😔.

My motive is off.

Yet i say, this will keep me humble – at His feet, seeking Him to cleanse me from all my unrighteousness…..

yesss!!!😫 brokenness is what He is cultivating in me this year. Broken vessels are pieced back together in the Potter’s hand – he is making me a vessel of gold ~ a vessel unto honour.

I shall be cleansed as I sit gazing on Him in the secret place. The rivers of His Holy Spirit gushing away the ulterior motives plaguing my heart….

Oh it’s a battleground ⚔️ ❤️‍🔥 i’m struggling on my own…… but then I realised I’m not my own: I’m His beloved son, so psalm 116:1-2 will forever be my portion in Jesus name:

Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Death

”I love the Lord, because He has heard My voice and my supplications. Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.“
‭‭

Ohhh how His eye is upon me, because I fear Him and hope in His mercy. He’s found brokenness, contrition, poverty in Spirit within this soul.

I’ve come to the revelation of how needing I am of Him. This is when my ephphatha* moment is released for all the world to see… when the earth groans a little less: Christ completely cruising in me, the hope of glory – i.e. the expectation of His nature to be revealed. His power to be revealed. To the praise of His glory 🙌🏿

And now to conclude 🥁 , a question to stop pride from contaminating my soul 🙇🏿‍♂️ :

Why should I, the clay, instruct the Potter on how to mold?

*ephphatha is the Greek form of the Aramaic word: ‘Be opened’

change, meditation and reflection

God look how far we’ve come. I used to hate you, but profess my love from my mouth. Now I feel so empty scrolling for hours when I ought to be redeeming time in your presence. Deep down my soul longed for the truth in You but my flesh was too grown. Nothing else really satisfies – this is my habitat i prophesy forever and ever Amen! i decrease and die – You increase and live – this is what I was made for: JUST TO LOVE AND BE LOVED BY YOU 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Like I look back on my old life and see how futile it was, not even knowing that I was walking on a broad path to hell in the spirit.

Thank you God for sending Your son Jesus to die for my sins. For our sins. Now I’m truly free to love myself and others. Merry Christmas to my brothers and sisters out there ✌️

God bless and hopefully you’ll encounter God here again soon.

Jesus Christ – He is revealed in those who die 🫡

Describe a man who has positively impacted your life.

Jesus has given me life. A life with meaning. I’m not just getting by day by day. I am experiencing peace, joy and a love so tangible and strong that I almost feel like I can’t escape it! It’s like I’m trapped, imprisoned by His love, grace and mercy everyday! I’m not worthy of this love Lord! 😭 thank you so much my Saviour, friend and King 👑 ~ I always pray that this declaration is hidden in the depths of my heart and that my life reflects His Lordship and Love. ❤️

If you’d like to know more about Jesus, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Also, here is one of my lattest posts on my contemplation on self-worth 👉🏿 https://643752.home.blog/2023/10/07/self-worth/

God bless you and have a nice day!

Jireh

stay focused. you have all you need in Him.

The Lord will provide it. why are you worrying? Can worrying add a single cubit to your height? How is it helping you?

Jireh is His name. The Lord will provide it.

self-worth

I’ve always felt like I need to belong..to fit in with culture..to be liked, admired by everyone because this was my source of validation ~ This is what gave me confidence. This is what blocked the feelings of loneliness and low self-esteem.

Now I’m a Christian ~ I belong to God, I can find rest in the presence of my Heavenly Father ~through the blood of Jesus I am redeemed! Born again not of sinners blood, nor of the flesh [natural conception], nor of the will of sin-stricken man but by the very desire of God (John 1:13).

But for some strange reason, my belonging to God hasn’t felt enough. And then I heard the Holy Spirit whisper to my heart 🕊️

It’s because you’re still living. To live is Christ, to die is gain

By living I was dying for the approval of man; ensnared in fear by the thoughts of friends, family members that I couldn’t even know. I can’t read minds! 😭 ~ this was my god and I couldn’t seem to work my way into his good book.

💡 Then I realised, my self worth was dependent on myself; I was working in the flesh to appease the idol and lust for approval in my heart❤️‍🩹: mastering different personas like an actor. Tinkering and refining my character to everyone’s liking whilst my true self lay dormant 😴

Jesus says I’m a new creation in Him. Old things have passed away (2 Corinthians 5:17). My worth comes from Jesus ***He saw my worth, your worth and put His life on it. – For the Joy set before Him ~ Oh the Joy of reconciling us back to our Maker, He endured the cross!✝️ (Hebrews 12:2). That’s how much I’m worth and the same applies to you my friend.

MY WORTH WAS GIVEN, NOT EARNED

My worth was given to me freely on the Cross, not earned by striving to receive approval from insatiable souls, filling the void of my insecure soul with vapour – empty words that don’t carry weight – always needing more praise from others to affirm my greatness, self worth.

He destroyed Himself for us to give His worth, His Life, His Love, His Approval, His Peace, His Joy…. I could go on and on because I have an eternity to get to know Him

And that’s beautiful

Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭3‬-‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

(side note: before you read the following verses, replace the word ‘He’ with Jesus)

“He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.”

Do you know Him?

Does He know you?

God is saying: DEPART FROM SIN, OR DEPART FROM ME

Decision. The time is now. Tomorrow is not promised. Today, while there’s breath in your lungs – the Lord is showing you mercy – you don’t know the breath in your lungs is God revealing that He is long-suffering, crying to have fellowship with you, to fill you with His Holy Spirit ~ not wishing that you should perish but that you come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).

A full 180 turning away from your sin. And to put your faith in Jesus, who died to account for our sins – which is rendering you guilty before the court room of Heaven

But Jesus bailed us out! He paid our fine! You just have to receive this free gift

Today is the day of salvation because tomorrow is promised to no man.

Jesus has saved me from depression, pornography addiction, guilt and shame. These things were destroying my mental heath, my perception of woman, men and killing my self-worth.

He really does save those who realise they need saving. And I’m praying you’re realising this now too.

If you sense that tugging on your heart. It’s God calling you! He wants to rescue your soul from entering eternal fire.

Do you know there are millions of people burning in Hell, starting their prayer life and repenting from sin but it’s too late for them. It’s not to late for you if your reading this! He is warning you because He loves you

God loves you. God loves you. God loves you

Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

God bless you ✌🏿❤️

***little side thought: even as you were reading from these asterisks, I wanted to come up with a cool motto to pride myself in; for my glory but there’s something simpler yet more powerful in the name of Jesus! He is deserving of all glory and one day I pray you will bow before Him and declare He is Lord in joy and not fear in Jesus name! Amen
