Jesus Christ is the Love We All Need

  My Dear ones, how are you doing? I hope that you are being blessed each day as you depend on Me. If not, have faith that I will always be there to help you, trust in Me, your Savior, and I will provide for your needs.

  My beloved Church, I, Jesus, am the only One who stands beside you every moment of your life. It brings Me great joy when you walk each day fully aware of My presence and great love for you. As you grow closer and closer to Me, you will be aware of ways that I am blessing you each day. Focus your thoughts on Me in love and worship and I will draw near to you. Turn to Me and seek My will in all situations, good or bad and I will lead you to security in Me. I will protect you and provide for your needs each day because I love you.

  Beloved, I am with you always, walking beside you, teaching you, protecting you, and showing you My love by blessing you. Sometimes you don’t think about My presence or about seeking My guidance in all the many details in life, but I am still there patiently waiting for your heart to look My way. As you grow closer to Me, speak My name, “Jesus”, and seek My face for guidance throughout your day. Then joy and knowledge of My love for you will become clearer.

  Each day walk with Me in the knowledge of My presence and you will begin to see My hand move on your behalf. I will bless you and protect you, give you faith and hope to face each day, and My strength to endure every trial. Praise and worship will stir in your hearts in deep gratitude of what you see Me doing in your life.

  Beloved, it is My will that you let go and give Me control of your life, I am Lord of your life. Lay it all down before Me and walk with Me through your whole day. I will lead you to do what is best and it will always benefit you. If life becomes too fast and overwhelming, give it to Me and take up only what is best for you in each moment. Step by step, moment by moment walk with Me. You will be more at rest and our love will flow over to those around us.

  Rest in My love and believe that I am with you always. My love for you will remain faithful and strong no matter what. But your life will change forever when you truly know how much I love YOU! You will desire to depend on Me more then anything or anyone else because you know that you are walking with Jesus, the King of kings and Lord of lord!

   “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust’… ‘Because He loves me,’ says the Lord, ‘I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges My name. He will call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him and show him My salvation.’” Psalm 91:1-2 & 14-16

   “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:20b

   “In You, O Lord, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; deliver me in Your righteousness. Turn Your ear to me, come quickly to my rescue; be my rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me. Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of Your name lead and guide me.” Psalm 31:1-3

 Lets continue reading Psalm 90-100 as we learn more about God’s love toward us.

Blessings,

  My children, My heart longs for you to know the depth of My love for you. Draw closer to Me and know how I, your Father in Heaven, feel about you. Spend time with Me in prayer and discover the plans I have for your life.
  As your Father, I am always watchful over your daily life. My ears are listening for your every need. In My great love for you I will defend you and have mercy on you in your weaknesses. If you are walking in Me, Your enemies will never overcome you no matter how difficult your situation may seem.

  My love for you will never change and I am always working in your life for your benefit and according to My will and purpose for your life. Even in your deepest, darkest time, I am there to comfort you and ease the sorrow as you bring glory to My name. Good or bad, wherever you are, I am there with you as you turn to Me in prayer and the reading of My Word, trust in Me.
  I will defend you and have mercy on you in your weaknesses. Your enemies will never overcome you no matter how difficult your situation may seem. Turn to Me in faith and trust in My sovereignty over your life. Then watch and see My hand move on your behalf as I lead you to freedom in Me. Even if the circumstances in your life don’t change, you can choose to walk in My love, mercy and grace in your difficulty.
  During the greatest difficulties is when My children truly learn to turn to Me and depend on Me to move mountains on their behalf. When the weight of the world is taken off you and given to Me to carry, Your heart is able to focus on Me all day long. As you rest in My love for you, that love will spill out to all who are around you. My love will shine through you and all the beauty of who I am will shine forth from you. My children, keep your heart focused on Me and I will lead you in the way you should go.

  “I love the Lord, for He heard my voice; He heard my cry for mercy. Because He turned His ear to me, I will call on Him as long as I live.” Psalm 116:1

  My children, it is My desire to provide for your every need and to lead you down the path that I chose for you from the beginning. This can only be when you turn your heart to Me and follow Me in obedience. Along the way you will face adversity and other difficulties, but it will not overcome you, because I am your help in times of trouble. See My hand working in your life and grab a hold of it and follow Me. Come and spend time with Me in My Word and talking with Me throughout your day. The joy you will come to know will spill out to those around you.

We will begin reading Psalm 90 – 100.

Trust in God's Sovereignty Each Moment

  My Dear children, I am your ever present God and Father who knows everything you are going through. Whether your life is difficult, filled with blessings or a little of both, I am here to go through it with you. Just seek Me with all your heart and I will be found by you.
  In this world, as you go through your day to day life there will be many situations that will test your faith, trust and dependence on Me. Will you look to others or even yourself for guidance, or will you seek Me and My will in each situation? As you grow in your trust in My great love for you and My sovereignty over your life you will understand that I only want what is the very best for you. Once this deep truth is truly understood in your heart you would accept any hardship, sorrow or suffering that I call you to enter into with joy and grace knowing that I will walk with you through it. There is no greater joy in this life than you and Me, your Father in Heaven, growing closer through difficulties and trials as you depend on Me.
  As you grow in your knowledge of Me and wisdom of My will by reading My Word, the Holy Bible, you will become more and more sensitive to the differences of living a Holy life and the ways of the world. The more you grow in Me the more ways you become sensitive. It is this sensitivity to My Holy Spirit, who was given to you as a down payment of what is to come, that will help you turn to Me and seek My will throughout your day. It is My will that you slow down and seek Me before you do anything. There are many things you can do in this world that seem okay to do, but they don’t honor me and they could harm you spiritually. When you choose to seek My will in what you do then you will have peace knowing that what you are doing is bringing glory and honor to Me and you have My protection each day.
  I am always finding new and creative ways to show you how much I love you and want the very best for you. As you grow and your sensitivity to Me becomes stronger you will see My hand working on your behalf in many beautiful ways. I may send you a gift of a song on the radio that is just what you needed, or I may teach you a deep and life changing lesson through difficult things that come your way. Each time you notice My presence in your life you will see My faithfulness to you even when you aren’t always faithful. The love I have for you will slowly reach deep into your heart and your trust in My Sovereignty will become unshakable.
  Many of My children go through deep sorrow and suffering in this life as they serve My purposes here on earth. Even though they go through many difficulties for My glory, they rejoice each day because they live their lives in My presence, completely depending on My strength to help them make it through. They know they could do nothing that will last for eternity in their own strength. Won’t you draw closer to Me and trust Me with your life. I have many wonderful plans for you.
  “How lovely is your dwelling place, Lord Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young— a place near your altar, Lord Almighty, my King and my God. Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you. Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage. As they pass through the Valley of Baka, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools. They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion. Hear my prayer, Lord God Almighty; listen to me, God of Jacob. Look on our shield, O God; look with favor on your anointed one. Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless. Lord Almighty, blessed is the one who trusts in you.” Psalm 84
 “Those who trust in themselves are fools, but those who walk in wisdom are kept safe.” Proverbs 28:26
  “Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.” Proverbs 29:25

  “Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but was also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.” Romans 5:1-5

  I have given you My Word so you will know and understand My heart of love toward you. Earnestly seek after Me daily and I will lead you down the path I have for you individually. Trust Me with your choices and decisions and I will lead you to a beautiful life of service for many in this world and a closer more intimate walk with me on a daily basis.

We will not begin reading Psalm 86-90.

Blessings,

Patricia Terrell

 

 

 

“Follow After Jesus”

 Hello precious ones of God, draw near to Me each day and let Me, your Savior Jesus, fill your heart with My love and grace. Is there anything in your life that makes drawing near to Me difficult like business, negative thoughts or distractions? Give them all to Me and trust that My sovereign grace will make a way for you. Then come and spend time with Me each day and be refreshed by My love for you.

  My dear children come close and see that I am good and My plans for you are good. Seek after My will in every situation, good or bad and I will lead you to still waters and green pastures. If you choose not to listen to or follow Me, I will let you walk your own way. But if you choose to listen to Me and obey Me, you will walk in the abundance I have for you. Nothing will be able to destroy My plans for you when you walk in obedience with Me.

  Each day as you read My Word and meditate on My great love for you, your heart will soften towards Me. You will desire to know Me more and more as you see My hand working in your life. Seek after Me at anytime of day and I will teach you My ways of walking through every day situations. Then you will be walking in complete surrender to My will and love.

  You have free will to follow after Me and My truth. You may be someone who loves and knows Me but still chooses to walk in your own ways or the ways of the world. You may not easily hear and listen to My warnings or corrections. So I will let you walk in your own will and resources. But you who listen intently to My corrections and warnings and receive then in your heart will thrive in My love, mercy and grace each day of your life. Your truest desire is to live in a way that brings glory to Me, your loving Savior, and follow in My will. For you know that walking in My will is where true protection is found.

  The desire of My heart is for you to follow after Me so closely that you hear and respond to My every warning or correction. Then you will walk in My protection from your enemies while you are lifted up above them. No matter how difficult life becomes you can always walk in My peace, love and joy. I will protect you from those who would try to harm you. When you follow Me in obedience nothing can stop My will in your life.

  “He says, “I removed the burden from their shoulders; their hands were set free from the basket. In your distress you called and I rescued you, I answered you out of the thundercloud; I tested you at the waters or Meribah. Hear, O My people, and I will warn you – if you would but listen to Me, O Israel! You shall have no foreign god among you; you shall not bow down to an alien god. I am the Lord your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open your mouth and I will fill it. But My people would not listen to Me; Israel would not submit to Me. So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices. If my people would but listen to Me, If Israel would follow My ways, how quickly would I subdue their enemies and turn My hand against their foes! Those who hate the Lord would cringe before Him, and their punishment would last forever. But you would be fed with the finest of wheat; with honey from the rock I will satisfy you.” Psalm 81:6-16

  “For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart. I will be found by you,’ declares the Lord.” Jeremiah 29:11

  “The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not be in want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his names sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” Psalm 23

  “For in the day of trouble He will keep me safe in His dwelling; He will hide me in the shelter of His tabernacle and set me high upon a rock. Then my head will be exalted above my enemies who surround me; at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the Lord.” Psalm 27:5-6

  “Then Jesus said to them all, ‘If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for Me will save it.” Luke 9:23-24

    If you desire to know Me and My will for you, come close to Me by reading My Word, praying and seeking My will through your day. I will lead you to walk in My peace and love. It is your choice to follow Me and I will let you live with the consequences of your choice. But if you choose to walk in obedience, then take up your cross and follow Me. The joys and difficulties you experience as you learn from Me will cause you to desire all I have for you each day. Then there will be nothing that can stop My purposes for your life.

  We will continue reading Psalm 81-85.

Patricia Terrell

Run to the Father's Great Love

  My Dear Children, as your Father in heaven, I care about every aspect of your life. I rejoice when you are full of joy, and I ache when you have despair. Whatever you are going through, I am with you to rejoice with you, to comfort you, and give you My peace when you’re heart is broken. Seek after Me with all your heart and receive My peace that I generously give.

  The love that I have for you is greater than you can comprehend. When you choose to sin, a distance forms between you and Me. But in the moment that you realize it - stop, turn away from it and face Me, your loving Father, with a humble and contrite heart, seeking My forgiveness and I will restore you completely back to Myself. As you continue in this way the restoration you receive frees you to know Me and My love for you in ways you have never imagined. I will help you grow and I will equip you to be a blessing to others as you serve My will and purposes for you on this earth. Come each day and draw close to Me, your loving Father.
  The great love that I have for you causes Me to watch over you always as I provide for your needs. I am pleased each time you are obedient to My Word as this causes our relationship to grow closer and closer. But when you choose to sin there is an interruption in our relationship. If that sin is not addressed with Me and forgiven the interruption becomes bigger and bigger causing your heart to become less sensitive to My Holy Spirit. When all of this begins to happen My heart is grieved over you.
  I will patiently wait for you to respond to Holy Spirit as He convicts you of your sin. As you realize what you have done and you have sorrow over your sin know that I have waited for this moment! Don’t run from Me in shame and condemnation, but run to Me. My open, loving arms are always ready to receive you back to Myself. As you humbly repent of each sin and seek My forgiveness through the blood of Jesus, I will forgive you. I will restore you to a close walk with Me because I love you.
  As you grow stronger in this and other acts of obedience I will bless you in many ways. I will lead you and encourage you through My Holy Spirit. I will inspire you to grow in the direction I have planned for you with the help of other people, writings, and numerous other things to help you live the life I created you for. In time you will come to know Me and My love for you in a personal way. When you do, you will truly love Me and desire to walk each day with me. This is My heart’s desire for you My child. Walk with Me daily in obedience, seeking Me in all that you do. I will help you be a blessing to those around you as you follow My will.
  ^“Restore us, God Almighty; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved. You transplanted a vine from Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it. You cleared the ground for it, and it took root and filled the land. The mountains were covered with its shade, the mighty cedars with its branches. Its branches reached as far as the Sea, its shoots as far as the River. Why have you broken down its walls so that all who pass by pick its grapes? Boars from the forest ravage it, and insects from the fields feed on it. Return to us, God Almighty! Look down from heaven and see! Watch over this vine, the root your right hand has planted, the son you have raised up for yourself. Your vine is cut down, it is burned with fire; at your rebuke your people perish. Let your hand rest on the man at your right hand, the son of man you have raised up for yourself. Then we will not turn away from you; revive us, and we will call on your name. Restore us, LordGod Almighty; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved.” Psalm 180:7-19
  “Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord; Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy. If you, Lord, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness, so that we can, with reverence, serve you. I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope. I wait for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning. Israel put your hope in the Lord, for with the Lord is unfailing love and with him is full redemption. He himself will redeem Israel from all their sins.” Psalm 130
  “For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.” Hebrews 8:12
  “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”1John 1:9

  I love you with all My heart and I desire that you would turn to Me when you sin and let the blood of Jesus cleanse you from all sin. Then run into My arms and follow Me as I lead you into My will and purpose for your life.

Let’s begin reading Psalm 81 – 85.

“When the Storms of Life Come, Remember My Love for You”

My precious children,

   Are you going through a trial or difficulty that seems too large to get through? Whatever your situation is, I your Jesus, am patiently waiting for your requests as you worship Me. In My love for you I will move mountains to accomplish My will for your life.

   My children, In this world you will have many different kinds of distress in your life. No matter what you are going through you can turn to Me in faith. Make your petitions known to Me, according to My will, and I will answer your prayers. As time goes by and no change has happened do not doubt; I am always working for your good. Instead, read My Word and stand strong in your faith by walking with Me everyday.

   My glory is displayed through the faith of My people in their suffering and difficulties. When trouble arises turn to Me in prayer and seek Me in your situation. Draw close to Me by following Me in everything you do. My love and protection will be with you because of your obedience.

   My timing is not your timing, but I move according to My perfect will. Do not grow weary in waiting for Me to answer your prayers. Do not doubt My love for you and My desire for what is best. Turn your eyes from yourself and the difficult situation you are in and look to Me in My Word, and through praise and worship. As you do, My love for you will fill your heart with love for Me so that you will rest in Me through any storm you face. You will have My peace when there is no peace around you as you wait for Me to answer your prayers.

   “I cried out to God for help; I cried out to God to hear me. When I was in distress, I sought the Lord; at night I stretched out untiring hands...You are the God who performs miracles; You display your power among the peoples. With your mighty arm You redeemed Your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. The waters saw You, O God, the waters saw You and writhed; the very depths were convulsed. The clouds poured down water, the skies resounded with thunder; Your arrows flashed back and forth. Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind, your lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked. Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though Your footprints were not seen. You led Your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.” Psalm 77:1-2 & 13-20

   “For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through His blood shed on the cross.” Colossians 1:15-17 & 19-20

   “But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.” James 1:6

   My children, I love you more than you know. I desire to help you through your life, but you must turn to Me in faith. Trust in My goodness, don’t doubt. When you face difficulties I will be there to help you. There is nothing I won’t do for those who depend on Me and rest in My love and goodness each day.

We will continue to read Psalm 76-80 for one more week.

Be blessed,

Love Patricia Terrell

“Trust Me in all things, then walk in My love”

Hello Dear Ones,

   You bring great joy to Me, your Jesus, when you see and understand how much I love you and desire the very best for you. It doesn’t matter where you are today, My grace is new each morning, so turn your heart to Me and seek Me. I will show you life as I designed it to be lived.

   My Dear Ones, I, your Jesus, see your heart aching and growing wearing about many things. I desire that you would give Me all your worries and fears. When you give them to Me your heart will be free to depend on Me. Then praise Me for your daily blessings and walk with Me in peace. This is how you honor Me with your life and you become a blessing and a light for others around you.

   There are many troubles in this world that can weight down your heart and mind. These troubles are always present, but your heart doesn’t need to be weighed down by them. It is good that you know what is happening, both good and bad in this world. But turn to Me and give Me your fears and concerns and I will give you rest. Then trust Me to handle everything in My will and timing.

   As you grow in your dependence on Me for all your needs and desires, your heart will grow closer to Me. Your heart will be filled with praise over blessings and answered prayers. Your heart will turn from its dependence on the things of this world to dependence on My love. As you walk with Me in this freedom, the joy of your heart will come through Me, not your daily circumstances, good or bad.

   As you daily spend time with Me and grow in the knowledge of My love for you personally, your heart will desire to honor Me with your life. There will be a glow about you that many will see and desire to know about. Your life will be a blessing for others as you live and love through My love.

   “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30

“Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:6-7

   “When Jesus spoke again to the people, He said, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’” John 8:12

   “For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’sake. For God, who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.” 2Corinthians 4:5-6

  “I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall. I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me. Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. I say to myself,        
  “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for Him.” The Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him, to the one who seeks Him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.” Lamentations 3:19-26

   My children, no matter how difficult life may get I am always there for those who belong to Me. Lay all your worries down at My feet and seek Me in everything you do. I will lead you daily in any situation and help you live for Me and to be a light for the world to see My glory in you.

We will begin reading Psalm 76-80 for two weeks.

Blessings,

Patricia Terrell
