“Give God Glory for all His Great Love and Faithfulness”

Hello Dear Children, I, your Jesus, love to do great things in your life for My glory. I love to bring you joy and fulfill deep desires in your heart. Draw near to Me and seek Me in everything you do. I am always listening to the hearts of My children and I move on behalf of my faithful ones according to My will and purpose.
  My Dear Ones, I delight in praise and songs of praise from My grateful children. Those who know Me and love Me, through faith, receive all that I have to offer them with great joy. Each gift or blessing that I give stirs the hearts of My children to bless Me with their love and praise. This love is then extended to others in desperate need of My love. I came for this purpose, to defend the defenseless and provide for the helpless. Those who seek after Me alone will find true peace, provision and safety in My love.
  My children who praise Me in their prayers, singing, and dancing honor Me with their lives. They have come to understand in their hearts that I am all they truly need. They walk daily bringing glory and honor to Me in all they do and say.
  Through My abundant grace I pour out blessings on all people. Some may not see and understand the things I have done that blessed them. But My children know and become overwhelmed with gratitude for all that I have done and am doing in their lives.       Their great love for Me becomes larger as they grow closer to Me by daily reading My Word and spending time with Me daily.
  The very reason I came to earth is to rescue and redeem those who desperately need My love and salvation. Their gratefulness, praise and worship is a blessing to Me. Anyone who receives Me and follows me daily will walk in true peace, love and safety - everyday.
  “…may the righteous be glad and rejoice before God; may they be happy and joyful. Sing to God, sing praise to His name, extol Him who rides on the clouds – His name is the Lord – and rejoice before Him. A father to the fatherless, a defender of windows, is God in His Holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families, He leads forth the prisoners with singing…Psalm 68:3-6
  “As Jesus approached Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening. They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” He called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Those who led the way rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. When he came near, Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” “Lord, I want to see,” he replied. Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight, your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, praising God. When all the people saw it, they also praised God. Luke 18:35-43
  “Sing to the Lord, all the earth; proclaim his salvation day after day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples. For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; He is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the Lord made the heavens. Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and joy in His dwelling place. Ascribe to the Lord, O families of nations, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength, ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name. Bring and offering and come before Him; worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.” 1 Chronicles 16:23-29
  I am blessed by those who love Me with praise and worship. Their gratitude is given back to Me in the way they live their lives and love others through Me. Then others are blessed by their life and are drawn to come closer Me. I will rescue all who seek after Me from their life of shame, abuse or bad choices.
  We will begin reading Psalm 71-75 for two weeks.
Blessings,
Patricia

“God Listens to the Prayers of a Repentant Heart”

Hello Dear Ones,
   As you go through each day I, you’re Jesus, desire that your hearts would seek after Me, learn My truth and desire to read My living Word. This is how your hearts are fed and nourished so you can face any trial or difficulty and bless others with Christ like love. Let the words from My heart reach deep into your heart and heal, purify and make whole the treasure of who you are, your heart.
  If you are born again, I am always with you in your heart through My Holy Spirit. Every time you sin in any way My Holy Spirit will convict you. If your heart is right with Me you will respond and come before Me and repent immediately, or as soon as you realize that you have sinned. If you don’t respond I will begin to seem distant to you and your prayers will seem to go unnoticed. My grace and mercy is abundantly great and if your repentance is genuine, I will always be gracious with you and forgive you. I desire that you, as My children, would always be aware of your behavior before God and Man. The more you are alert and aware of your behavior daily, the more God can work in your life and others will desire to know Me through you. As you continue to follow Me you will become more and more holy as I am holy. I am here to help you every step of the way.
   Until the day I return you will make mistakes and you will sin. That is why I came to earth so there would be forgiveness of sins. Always desire and ask for sensitivity to My Holy Spirit's correction and you will be quick to repent and stay in a right relationship with Me. There should be a concern if you are not sensing My Holy Spirit in anyway. Draw closer to Me by reading My Word, spend time with Me there, learn about Me and what I say to you there. This will eventually refresh your heart and soul to know right from wrong and respond when you do any wrong. As you and I develop a closer walk together you will notice My Spirit working in you in many ways including prayer. There is nothing more powerful than the prayers of My Children.
   As your love for Me grows and you desire to be more like Me you will be more attuned to how you respond to outside influences. You will see the difference between right and wrong behaviors so you can make better choices about your own behavior as you grow in Me. When you walk daily obedient to Me others will see and desire to know Me too. It is My desire for all who know Me to want to be like Me. The blessings that accompany someone who walks with Me everyday are numerous and unique. You will become sanctified unto Me and you will be of great use for My Kingdom. But you cannot do this on your own. This is a gift from Me and you need Me to help you make it through every day. So turn to Me and trust Me with everything.
   “Come and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what he has done for me. I cried out to him with my mouth; His praise was on my tongue. If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened; but God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer. Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld His love from me!” Psalm 66:16-20
   “Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor His ear too dull to hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear.” Isaiah 59:1-2
   “As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: Be Holy, because I am Holy.” 1 Peter 1:14 – 16
   “Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent.”Revelation 3:19 
  It is My will that you be aware of your sin. That you hate sin and love what is good. When you do, repentance will be simple and it will change your life. Walk daily with Me so that you can shine the light of Christ to the world as you are called.
We will be reading Psalm 66-70 for one more week.
Blessings,
Patricia Terrell

Pure Love is only found in Jesus

Hello Faithful Readers,
   There are so many things that I, your Jesus, long to share with you about how much I love you and desire a close relationship with you. As you go through bad days and even good days, I want to be the One you turn to for everything you need. I am faithful, and I will provide for you in many different ways. I use people, music, books, My Word, devotionals, and many other things to provide what you need. Come close to Me and see for yourself how much I love you. If you seek Me with all your heart, I will be found by you.
   My Dear Children, as you live daily in this world, you will find that there is nothing truly satisfying that it can provide. The more you depend on the world, the more you will be left longing for more and more. That is how I created the world to be, so you would seek after Me, Jesus. I am the only One who can provide for all your emotional and spiritual needs so that you can truly be satisfied. Then I desire for you to remain in Me and cling to Me all day, everyday as you depend on My guidance and provision. There is no greater love on earth or in heaven than the love of God through Me, your Jesus. Seek after Me with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength and I will reveal Myself to you in beautiful ways. Then I will drench your thirsty and unsatisfied heart with My pure love that is truly able to satisfy.
   I desire for you to see that all the riches, all the relationships, and all the beauty in this world cannot completely satisfy your heart. They can only satisfy it for a little while. There is always something in you that will always want more. The only One who truly understands you and loves you no matter what is the One who created you. I created you because I love you and I desire to shower that love on you in a way that is meaningful to you and only you. No matter what you are going through or doing, I can and will find a way to give gifts of My love to you when you need it most. Focus on Me and be in tune to My Holy Spirit and you will notice these private and special gifts of love from Me to you. As your relationship with Me grows, you will learn more and more about Me and your own heart and you will be satisfied.
   My Children, as with all relationships, they flourish when the people in it spend time together and learn trust. Start your day with Me reading My Word, praying and talking with Me. Then stay there with Me all day. During your whole day think of Me and all that I have done for you and what I am doing in your life. Then your trust in Me will grow. Then stay close to Me and cling to Me all day and I will keep you on the right path. I will bless you with what you need when you remain in Me.
   To believe that there is no greater love on earth or in heaven than the love of God through Me is only possible when you know it as truth for yourself. No one else, can begin this relationship that I offer, but you and Me. No one can develop it, so it is strong enough to weather all the storms of this life, but you and Me. If you will choose to make Me number one in your life by seeking Me and loving Me with all your heart, soul, mind and strength, you will know Me and trust in Me alone for what your heart needs. You will then find Me when you seek Me in prayer and in reading My Word, and your heart will be drenched with the cool water of My Holy Spirit. Then My pure love will satisfy your heart.
   “O God, You are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for You, my body longs for You, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and Your glory. Because Your love is better than life, my lips will glorify You. I will praise You as long as I live, and in Your Name I will lift up my hands. My soul will be satisfied as with the richest foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise You. On my bed I remember You; I think of you through the watches of the night. Because You are my help, I sing in the shadow of Your wings. My soul clings to You, Your right hands upholds me.” Psalm 63:1-8
   “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 you heart. I will be found by you,” declares the Lord… Jeremiah 29:13
   “Some wandered in desert wastelands, finding no way to a city where they could settle. They were hungry and thirsty, and their lives ebbed away. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and He delivered them from their distress. He led them by a straight way to a city where they could settle. Let them give thanks to the Lord for His unfailing love, and His wonderful deeds for men, for He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.” Psalm 107:4-9
   My love is able to satisfy the deep longings of your heart more than anything or anyone else. Seek after Me and trust in Me for all that you desire and need. Keep trusting Me all day, everyday and our relationship will grow into something truly beautiful. When you know Me, you will know My great love for you. Then My love will shine through you to others.
   We will begin reading Psalm 66 – 70 for two weeks.

The Lord Jesus is Our Rock and Our Salvation

  My Dear children, I, your Jesus, am filled with love and joy each time your heart turns toward Me. I am always thinking of you and moving on your behalf. When you turn your heart toward Me in praise and worship, I am drawn even closer to you. Draw near to Me through your day; seek Me in all you do and I will clear a straight path for you to walk in My peace and love, even in the most difficult situations.
   My Dear Ones, Through My death on the cross and resurrection from the dead, I have accomplished everything that is needed for you to live a life of hope for today and all eternity. Turn to Me and I will be your rock and fortress. When you put your trust and hope in Me you will find rest for your soul. Then no matter what comes against you, you will not be fearful, because I am with you. My will is that you would submit all your desires to control your own life over to Me. When you do this, you will walk each day of your life filled with My purposes for you. Then you will be blessed abundantly as you serve others through Me, according to My will.
   What I accomplished on the cross and then rising from the dead three days later means, is that when you trust in Me alone for your salvation, you then are walking in victory over the enemy and his schemes. When you grow closer to Me, and live through Me, you will be free to walk each day filled with hope for today and for the future. The enemies' accusations and assaults against you will have no strength because you put your trust in Me.
   As your Savior, I am able to handle anything that you come to me with. Nothing is impossible for Me when you put your trust in Me alone. When you come to Me in prayer and the daily reading of My Word, I will lift you up above your trials that try to bring you down. I will walk with you through each one. I am always present waiting to give you comfort and rest for your soul. Yes, you will have difficult days, but I will always help you through them, with hope for the future.
   My Dear Children, as you walk daily with Me and grow in Me, you will be given the desire and ability to turn over the control of your life to Me. As you grow and learn the truth of who I am, your heart will become softer and desire My will over your own. You will be willing to give Me control over your life because you trust that My plans are the best for you. As you daily walk in My will, you will begin to walk in the purposes I created you for. These are purposes that I have had planned for you from the beginning of time. As you grow closer to Me, you will know more about the purposes I have for you. Seek Me every day and I will lead you to where you should go.
   “My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him. He alone is my Rock and my Salvation; He is my Fortress, I will never be shaken…Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my Hope comes from Him…My salvation and my honor depend on God; He is my might Rock, my Refuge. Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our refuge… Surely You will reward each person according to what he has done.” Psalm 62: 1-2, 5-6, 7-8 & 12b
   “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. For those God foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of His Son…And those He predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified.” Romans 8:28 – 29a & 30
   “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13
   All that I accomplished was done so that you would trust in Me and put your hope in Me alone for your salvation and eternal life with Me. Daily put your hope in Me and walk with Me. There is nothing you are going through that I can’t handle. When you trust in Me, I will lift you high above the troubles you face because you are My child. As you grow you will desire My will over yours. This will help you walk into the grand purposes I have planned for your life. Will you trust Me today and every day with your life?
   We will continue reading Psalm 60 – 65 for one more week.
Blessings,
Patricia Terrell
