I Will Cleanse You from All Unrighteousness

Hello Dear Ones,

How are you doing this week? I, your Jesus, long to fill your days with the kind of joy and peace which are only found in Me. Don’t let yourself be discouraged when bad days come, or when you make mistakes. Come to Me and seek My face. Comfort will arise in your hearts and you will receive My strength to carry on. Turn to Me in good days and bad days, and I will give you all you need to be content no matter what your situation is.

My children, I am your Redeemer. I have come to set you free from every sin, stronghold, and bondage that has found its way into your life. Remember, I conquered all sin past, present and future by dying on the cross and rising to life again on the third day, destroying death itself. There is nothing in your life that is too hard for Me to forgive if you will seek Me in faith, with a humble and contrite heart. I desire that you would acknowledge the sin in your life as it is made aware to you by the Holy Spirit. Then, seek My forgiveness through repentance for that sin. I am faithful and My grace is limitless; and I will forgive you of your sins, and restore you to a close walk with Me. I am patient with you and I will wait for you to come to Me and seek My love for you, with a humble heart.

My children, I know that sometimes it is hard to see Me for who I really am: Creator, Savior, Deliverer and Sustainer of all life. Know this, My whole purpose as the Son of God, is to save your soul from eternity apart from Me, and redeem your life from the schemes of the enemy who desires to keep My true purposes for your life hidden from you. The only way to discover My purposes for your life is to daily seek Me with a humble and soft heart. This is accomplished by being obedient to My Word. Then I will be able to slowly and lovingly deliver you from any sin, stronghold, or bondage.Sin is when you do something that you know is against My will. Strongholdsare walls that are built up around the heart when someone hurts you. And bondage comes from false beliefs about yourself or how God thinks about you, that might be in your life such as, “God couldn’t love Me”. You will be able to receive My corrections, discipline, and unfailing love each day that you seek Me. All of this is intended to remove any false ideas you have about Me, and correct wrong behaviors and thoughts that are strong and overpowering in your life. Come, let’s begin today, and see how strong My love is for you.

My faithful ones, there are some who misunderstand how I see sin. Yes, I have forgiven you of your sin - past, present, and future - when you repent of your sins and receive Me as your Savior, which is being “born again”. But even though you have been forgiven, and your soul has been redeemed, you are still going to make mistakes and you will sin again, everyday even. As My children, I have called you to live in this world but not of this world. But you still live in a sinful world and sin is all around you. This is why I desire for you to daily seek Me with a soft heart, willing to hear and receive correction when My Holy Spirit shows you your sin. In your love for Me and My Word, you will become repentant and sorrowful over your sin. You can then seek Me to forgive you of any sin known or unknown you have done. When you come to Me with a repentant heart, I will immediately forgive your sins and cleanse you from that sin. This can be done every day, if not many times a day as you are lead by My Holy Spirit. As you grow in this, you will find that you sin less, and you become more sensitive and aware when you are sinning. This is when you repent and seek forgiveness immediately once you realize that you have sinned. As you walk daily cleansed of your sin, you and I will then walk closer to each other all day long.

It doesn’t matter how bad you think you have sinned, I will forgive your sins by My grace, and draw you closer and closer to Me. This is when I can teach you and lead you into the life I created you for. I will restore your life to be free from the sin and strongholds that bind you and keep you from walking in freedom with Me. I am a patient God and when you desire to know Me and My love for you I will respond to your prayers to Me. Just know that My love for you is unlike any love you have ever known.

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23

“Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to Your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions and my sin is always before me… Surely You desire truth in the inner parts; You teach me wisdom in the inmost place. Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow… Hide Your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity. Create in me a pure heart O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from Your presence or take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me… a broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.” Psalm 51:1-3, 6-7, 9-12 & 17

“If we claim to have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. But if we confess our sins to Him, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.” 1 John 1:8-9

I am the Savior of the world, and I accomplished everything that needed to be done to save you when I died on the cross and resurrected on the third day destroying sin and death. My forgiveness is available to all who trust in Me by faith, acknowledge their sin, repent, and receive My grace. When you walk before Me with a humble heart, seek Me and My will for your life, I will daily transform you into the person I created you to be. My great love for you will become the most important thing in your life as you follow after Me.

We will continue reading Psalm 51 – 55for one more week.

In Him,

I Am Your Refuge and Strength in Times of Trouble

Dearest Ones,

  There is not a day that goes by that I am not thinking about you, and the many desires and dreams I have for your life. I long to share them with you if you will draw near to Me by reading My Word and spending time with Me today, and every day after that. I love you, and I long to speak words of refreshment and hope into each part of your life. Then, even in the difficult days and difficult moments you can remember all that I have told you and you will be encouraged.

My children, I your Jesus and Savior, am your refuge, strength, and ever-present help in times of trouble. There is nothing impossible for Me if you will have faith to believe and trust in Me to help you. In this world you will have trouble. With My help, the trouble you encounter can be used to help you grow and mature in Me and to bring Me glory by being a witness to others of My power and authority. I love to hear My children call out My Name, Jesus, in praise and worship, as well as in times of trouble, stress and anxiety. I am an omnipresent God and I am with you no matter where you are. I will defend you and protect you. I will give you peace and safety. Give Me all that is troubling you and I will help you.

  "There is nothing impossible for Me" is a big statement and difficult to comprehend. I am the creator of the heavens and the earth, yet I look upon you with love. You were created in My image and I desire to be with you and help you each day. Before your day starts, step out in faith by seeking Me, Jesus and spending time with Me. Have faith that I am with you and trust in Me to work things out for your good. When you grow to love Me with all of your heart, and have complete faith in Me, you will call to Me and I will help you. You can always turn to Me for strength and courage as you are going into a difficult situation or while you are in the situation. Remember, My ways are not your ways, so trust in Me to work things out according to My will instead of depending on your own understanding.

My Faithful Ones, you will have trouble in this life. Do not fear when trials come, but look to Me and I will calm your spirit. There is nothing to fear when you walk with Me. I desire the very best for My people. When you turn to Me in faith, and depend on My will for your life, you will be able to endure times of trial. You will persevere and overcome while you shine in My glory for all to see. In this, you will be a witness for others, and they will also have confidence in My power and authority over their lives.

  When My Name is spoken out of love for Me in praise and worship, My heart is drawn even closer to you. When My Name is spoken in times of trouble, stress, and anxiety, I am ever-present to help you. In my omnipresence, you can know that I am with you where ever you go when you walk in obedience to My commands. If there is sin or unforgiveness in your heart then these will keep you at a distance from Me. I cannot co-existent with sin. So come to Me and seek forgiveness for your sins, and walk clean before Me daily. In My love for you, I will defend you and protect you in many ways. When your life is chaotic, I will give you peace and safety even in the chaos. You can tell Me anything. I already know everything about you, but I want you to share with Me everything. Talk to Me about everything that brings your heart great joy. Tell anything that troubles you, then give it to Me and let it stay with me. This means you are not to worry about them, but follow My guidance in dealing with the issues. Rest in Me daily, I am strong, and capable of carrying the weight of the world on My shoulders. Remember, nothing is impossible for Me.

 “Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6

  “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7

  “Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.” James 1:2-5

  “…in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to Him purpose.” Romans 8:28

  “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.      "Therefore we will not fear… The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.” Psalm 46:1-2 & 7
  Dear Ones, I desire for you to turn all of your attention to Me because there is no one else in this world who is bigger and who loves you more. Turn your hearts to Me in faith and complete trust, and rest in Me daily as you receive strength, courage and help in times of trouble. I will use your times of trial to help you grow in Me because I use evil for good for My glory. When My Name is spoken in praise and worship or in distress and time of need, I am always listening attentively to your every word. I am always ready to help. I am never too busy. I am always right with you. Lay all your burdens at My feet and leave them there. I am able to take care of them. Then rest in My love and care for you today and every day!!
We will begin reading Psalm 51-55 for two weeks.
Be blessed,

“The Power of the Tongue”

  Hello My Dear children, I, your Jesus, am delighted in you, as you continue to desire to know more about Me, and who I am. I know everything about you, more than you know about yourself, but I love to hear from you as you pray and talk to Me daily. I long to cultivate a relationship with you, and we can do that when you spend time with Me. We can spend time together in My Word, as you worship, and pray. Come and spend time with Me daily, and I will shine My light and love into your life.

  My Dear Ones, In My love for you I desire that you understand the power of the tongue, for good or bad, in your everyday life. Words that are spoken that are careless or hurtful to others cannot be removed once they are said. This can hurt others and you, after you realize the mistake that was made. Be careful My children of the words that you speak. Words that are spoken in love are a blessing to others, and honoring to Me. When words are spoken in love and grace all anger is removed; patience is present, and peace in heart and mind overflow. Walk daily with Me, beholding My glory, and My light will shine into all dark places in your heart. My light will win over the darkness in your life, and others will see it and be blessed by your life that is lived in Me.

  My children, I am patient in your weakness when you have hurtful thoughts in your heart that become hurtful words against others, or yourself. There are times that others are hurt, and then you are left feeling horrible after it is all said and done. These wounds can cause relationships to be severely damaged. Then your focus is taken off of Me and onto dealing with the stress of making things right. The tongue has great power to cause pain when the heart is hurting. I desire that you would come to Me daily reading My Word, and learning about Me, your Jesus. Then you will know and understand all that I have done for you, so that you can be healed from the wounds in your heart. When you trust in Me to heal the wounds in your heart you can be set free from the past, and be free to live daily in My light and love for you.

  My heart is greatly pleased with you, My children, when you walk with Me daily, and shine My light, the light of Christ, in this dark world. When you begin to understand how much I love you, you will daily speak words of love to others. You will be gracious and patient with others in their weaknesses, because you are able to love them as I have loved you in your weaknesses. Walking in peace and patience through your words and actions will bring great blessings to you and others. There is no stopping My love when you love and speak blessing into others lives.

  The only way to walk in My love daily, is to spend time with Me and behold My love for you personally. As our relationship grows you will learn to trust Me with all of your past, present and future. In order to walk in My love we must address the wounds that are hurting your heart. Words that are spoken reveal what is in the heart of a person. Hurtful words that are spoken come from a heart that is hurting and in darkness regarding various wounding situations from the past. The person that is hurting may hurt others by the words they say. The cycle goes on until the pain in the heart is addressed. As I said before, I know you better than you know yourself. Come to Me with all the hurtful words you have ever said, or had spoken to you. Then repent, or offer forgiveness, and let Me help you, by healing your heart from these past wounds. This is only possible for My children who have repented and received My forgiveness from their sins, and received My free gift of salvation. Then through the work of the Holy Spirit that was given to you, you are given the grace to forgive others who have sinned against you. Then as you freely forgive others your heart will be healed. If you will trust Me, I will give you freedom from this cycle of pain, and your heart will be free to speak words of light and love to others, for My glory. Then no wound from the past or temptation to speak hurtful words to yourself, or others will win out. You will know that My love for you is the most important thing in your life. Do you know how much I love you?

  “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” Proverbs 15:1

  “The tongue has the power of life and death…” Proverbs 18:21

  “Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.” Proverbs 12:18

  “The tongue that brings healing is a tree of life, but a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.” Proverbs 15:4

  “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouth, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.” Ephesians 4:29

  “Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.” Proverbs 16:24

  The power of the tongue can bring blessing, or pain. Hurtful words that you speak bring down all who receive them. But Words that are filled with love, peace, and patience lift up and heal those who receive them. As you walk with Me daily, and grow in My love, your heart will receive healing and blessing in your life, and the life of those around you. My love is here waiting for you to seek it out, and grow in love, so you can shine My light in this dark world.

  We will continue reading Psalm 46-50 for one more week.

“"The Church: The Body of Christ is the Light of Christ”

 My faithful ones, I long to bring peace to your hearts each day as you walk with Me and talk with Me. No matter what is going on in your life I, your King and Redeemer, desire to strengthen you and lift you above your circumstances. I desire to bring you peace and joy that surpasses understanding, when you walk with Me.

  Dearest Church, you are My light in this dark world. There is no one like you who can bring My light, and My love to hurting people. Each of you, members of My body, bring glory and honor to Me each time you follow My leading in My love and in the ways I have gifted you to serve Me. As each of you come close to Me and receive My love, you are better able to share My love with others around you. Come to Me and let Me heal any wounds in your heart so you can receive all of My love, and then give My love to others.

  Each one of you is to be a bright light in this dark world. If you walk closely with Me and receive My love everyday, you will be filled to overflowing. Then the love you have in your heart will spill over as you love others for My glory. Then all day, everyday, you will be that light. You are set apart for My will and My purposes, so you can give hope to a hurting people who need to know Me.

  My children, when you serve in the Church or serve others outside of the Church, it should be done within My will and as I lead. In this way, your work brings glory and honor to Me. The relationship I desire for you to share with Me is that of the love My Father and I share. This love when it has become complete in your heart can be shared with the world. This is an unconditional love. Just as I love all people, you are then able to love all people, pray for them, and serve them as I have gifted you to.

  All of My children are able to love as I love them, unless they carry around wounds and unforgiveness in their hearts. Come and give Me all of the pain from your whole life. I will help you, one step at a time, to work through the pain so that you will be able to forgive others who have hurt you. Then your heart will be free to receive My love and shine brightly for all to see. This is My will for My Church.

  “For this is what the Lord has commanded us: “I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.” Acts 13:47

  “We love because He first loved us.” 1John 4:19

  “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” Ephesians 4:32 & 5: 1-2

  “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Psalm 147:3

  “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 4:6

  “There is no one like you.” I hope this statement reminds you that you have been set apart to be a light unto this world for My glory. You are to live in this world, but not be of this world. You are to be My light to all people who would otherwise not see the light of life. You are unable to do this unless you come close each day and are filled with My great love for you. Once you are filled and overflowing, it will pour out for others to see and desire. Let me come with you into every dark and hurting place in your heart so My light can shine in the darkness. Then I may heal your heart so you are free to forgive others. I am waiting for you to come and seek Me. 

  We will begin reading Psalm 46-50 for two weeks.

My Eye’s are Always on the Humble at Heart

  Hello My precious Ones,

  What a blessing you are to Me, your Savior, that your hearts are drawing near to Me and hearing what I desire to say to you. I hope that you are being blessed every day as you desire to know Me more and more. No matter what your days are like, easy going, or very stressful, I will always be with you. Just think of Me and I will be there to comfort you with My love.

  My children, My heart is pleased when your hearts are humble before Me. I am ever watchful over your lives. Come to Me for forgiveness of your sins in humility and repentance, and I will forgive you and restore you to a close walk with Me. When you humble yourselves before Me daily, My ear is quick to listen as you seek Me for all your needs. Whatever you need, I am already working on providing for you according to My will, as you continue to walk in humble obedience.

  One of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is to cause the heart to be humble. Each time you allow your heart to be humble instead of prideful; I take notice, and I will move mountains for you in your life. I always desire to improve your life, because I love you more than you can know. I love to give abundantly to My children who are daily, humble before Me. Showing humility towards My will produces spiritual fruit. This fruit leads to My perfect will and purpose to happen in your life.

  Each day, I desire that you would come before Me with a humble heart seeking forgiveness for any sin in your life, through repentance. Each time you stumble and sin against Me, stop, turn around and run to Me, this is repentance. Then I will forgive you, I will restore your walk with Me, help you grow in Me, and I will hear from Heaven as you seek Me with all your heart. I am waiting with arms open to all who will come in humble submission to My truth. I paid it all for you so you could walk free in Me. Come walk in Me, and with Me today and everyday!

“I said, “O Lord, have mercy on me; heal me, for I have sinned against You.” Psalm 41:4

“You save the humble but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.” Psalm 18:27

“He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them His way. All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful for those who keep the demands of his covenant. For the sake of your name, O Lord, forgive my iniquity, though if is great. Who, then, is the man who fears the Lord? He will instruct him in the way chosen for him.” Psalm 25:9-12

“For the Lord takes delight in His people; He crowns the humble with salvation.” Psalm 149:4

“For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayers, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.” 1 Peter 3:12

  There are great blessings and privileges in serving Me, for those who walk daily with a humble heart. I am ever watchful over their lives as I give them blessing and protection. When My children seek Me, I will hear their prayers and I will answer them. I will sustain their lives and deliver the oppressed. There is great hope in this life, and the next, for those who are humble. This is My desire for all of My children.

We will continue reading Psalm 41-45 for one more week.

Follow Jesus

Hello Dear Ones,

  My heart desires that you are being blessed this week as you go through each day. I hope that any time there is difficulty that you would seek Me, your Jesus, to lead you through to peace. I am always with you to comfort you and protect you. That is what I love to do for my children.

  My dear children, I love you with all My heart. I look forward to our relationship growing as you choose to spend time with Me everyday. I will always stay beside you, waiting for your heart to desire to know My heart. There are many things in this world that call for your attention. But the only way to know and walk in the purpose I created you for is by following close beside Me daily. When My children faithfully follow Me, they will encounter trials and difficulties, but the fruit is pleasing to Me and a witness to all who you come in contact with. Let Me, your Savior and God, lead you through each and every difficulty in My protection and peace.

  The things in this world that can keep your heart distracted from desiring Me and My purpose for you are innumerable. The problem is, none of those things can fulfill the purposes that you were created for. Only I, your Jesus, can help you and lead you to the calling for your life. Let’s walk together one step at a time.

  There are many lessons to be learned through trials. The difficulties create fruit because it is then that you understand that I am the only One you can trust and depend on to help you make it through. Just as the clay is pressed, and reshaped in order for it to become a beautiful piece that the Potter can use for His purposes. So I too must teach you through specific trials to shape you into a very valuable servant for My glory. Then you will shine My light to all who are around you. When your desire and love for Me grows in your heart, your desire to do My will, over yours, will grow. You will seek My face and follow My leading because you love Me more than anything or anyone else. This is My will for all My children who love Me and desire to follow Me, wholeheartedly.

  “I waited patiently for the Lord; He turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord. Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods. Many, O Lord my God, are the wonders You have done. The things you planned for us no one can recount to you; were I to speak and tell of them, they would be too many to declare… I desire to do Your will, O my God; Your law is within my heart.” Psalm 40:1-5 & 8

  “As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. ‘Follow Me,’ He told him, and Matthew got up and followed Him.” Matthew 9:9

  “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

  “Whoever serves Me must follow Me; and where I am, My servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves Me.” John 12:26

  Children of God, seek Me with all your heart. Then I will answer you and lead you in ways you never thought possible. If you love Me, keep your attention and focus on Me, and I will lead you and bless you in this life. Do not fear when you face trials. Rejoice in your trials because through them you are being made into something useful and precious to God. The fruit of following Me is My life lived through you for others to see and desire. Rest in Me, and I will show you the way you should go.

  Let’s now begin reading Psalm 41-45 for two weeks.

My Delight is in Those Who Know Me and Love Me

Dearest Readers, I am writing you this note to inform you of a change that Jesus is leading me to make in the way my letters are written. I believe this is a process He is using to teach me to be a better writer and to follow where ever He leads me. You see, for a couple of months now I have been writing the first draft of these letters in first person. As I have listened to Jesus speak I then would write His Words down. Then I would change it to third person format for you to read. This was a big help for me. I was writing exactly what Jesus wanted me to write in these letters. Now Jesus is leading me to write these in a love letter format. They will be written directly from Jesus to you, from His heart to yours. I hope you enjoy these love letters from Jesus to you, the Church, and the Bride of Christ.

Blessings,

Patricia

My Precious Children, I, Jesus, hope you are doing well this week. Whether there is peace in your life, or many difficulties, know that I am always with you to comfort you and to lead you through each day in My protection and love. Seek My face in any situation before anyone else. I, your Jesus and Savior, desire to be first in your life and in your heart, you will always be first in Mine.

  The desire of My heart is for My children to truly know Me and love Me. My children get to know Me when they take time each day to spend with Me and only Me. As My children spend time with Me each day our relationship is able to grow. The time that we share can be spent journaling, reading My Word and worshiping with music. There are mysteries I desire to reveal to each of My children who love me. When My children get to know Me and My love towards them, they will learn how much they love me out of gratitude for all I have done for them and through them.

  My children, I created you for a purpose. I long to share with you what that purpose is if you will draw near to Me every day. Ask Me, and I will help you find the time that we can spend together. Whatever time we are able to spend together is good. Just like any other relationship you have, when you take the time to be with that person, your relationship will grow. I'd love for our relationship to grow.

  As we journal together, we can discuss your day, the difficulties that took place, and the joys you experienced. I can help you learn from your mistakes so you can learn to walk daily as I desire for you to. As we read My Word together, I can illumine Scripture that can help you understand what I am doing in your life. When you listen to music that glorifies Me, I enjoy hearing you sing to Me. I delight in the active worship of My children.

  There are many mysteries that I long to share with you if you will draw near to Me daily, just you and Me. I will help you understand the purposes I created you for. You will come to understand all the many ways I directed your life so you could be where you are now. As you draw near to the sound of My voice to hear what I long to tell you, you will learn how much I, Jesus, truly love you. Come and let Me love you and comfort you as no one else can. I am waiting!

  “The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord; He is their stronghold in time of trouble. The Lord helps them and delivers them; He delivers them from the wicked and saves them because they take refuge in Him.” Psalm 38:39-40

  I am the good shepherd; I know My sheep and My sheep know Me – just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father – and I lay down My life for the sheep.” John 10:14-15

  “My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” Colossians 2:2-3

  My joy and desire is for all of My children to know Me and love Me with all their hearts. Then My purposes for their lives will ignite their passion for Me, and their hearts will desire to walk daily with Me to accomplish their purpose. But they must first take the time to know Me and love Me as I know them and love them.

  We will continue reading Psalm 36-40 for one more week.
