"Shine Through Me"

"We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts."

(2 Peter 1:19)

The coming of the "Day Star" was prophesied as men were moved on by the Holy Ghost in the old Testament, and today, the Day Star, Jesus Christ our Lord, is arising in hearts day by day.  Nothing brightens a heart more than the infiltration of "THE Light" of the world.  When we are filled with the Holy Ghost and speak in tongues, the Spirit of Almighty God makes His dwelling place in us!  It's beautiful, glorious, magnificent, and darkness has to leave; the abundance of Light has arrived.  

"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."

(2 Corinthians 4:6)

 

Aren't you tired of  living in that state of no hope and that perpetual  darkness?  Many today live in a terrible dark place in their spirits, in their lives, in their emotions, in their thoughts, and their countenances reveal the shadows of pain, because you do know, don't you, that darkness is pain?  All of that can be gone in a moment in time, now, today!  Reach out to the ONE who reaches for You; repent of all of your sins; ask Him to fill you with His Spirit, and then be obedient to His Word, and be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins. 

You will be astounded!  "LIGHT" will fill your soul, your spirit, your heart, your mind, your body, and there will be no more darkness.  Oh, dear friend, it's the most powerful thing in the universe to know and experience the love and forgiveness of the Lord Jesus Christ.  The angels lean over the bannisters of heaven every time a soul comes to Jesus Christ, and the Bible says they desire to look into it, because they cannot experience salvation.  They were created to worship the King of Kings and do His bidding, but guess what?  So were we  ...

 



The words of the song are the words for this dark hour in which we are living, "Daystar shine down on me, let your love shine through me in the night," are the heart throbs of a God who yearns for His creation, and longs for the dust formed into man, to return to Him for all of eternity.  And, if ever His love needed to shine in the hearts of men, women, and children; it's now.  There's too much hate, too much misguided animosity, too many who want to destroy others, don't you think?  Oh, "Daystar;" come and shine in us, come and fill every Nation, kindred and tongue, with Your glory, Your power, Your love, Your peace  ...  Daystar, come ...

"Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and

precious promises: that by these ye might be

partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the

corruption that is in the world through lust."

(2 Peter 1:4)

 

When the Spirit of Jesus Christ fills your soul, you are robed in righteousness, and you take on the nature of Jesus Christ.  Since we still live in mortal bodies, it requires daily consecration to keep ourselves holy.  Prayer, fasting, reading the Holy Bible, witnessing, and Church help us to walk the walk and talk the talk.  But, it's becoming more than that; it seems there is a new wind blowing, a new drawing of mankind unto that Holy place where the mercy seat abides, a new worship, a deep calling unto the deep, a new sound of Holy emerging from the "dust," a call to the "fire" is being voiced through keyboard notes  ... 

"What are you saying?  you ask.  I'm saying "Daystar" is coming closer; the angels are gathering in earth; the sound is stirring the heavens and angering evil  ...  There's only one thing that brings heaven to earth  ...  WORSHIP!  Worship "in earth as it is in heaven," and when this happens, Daystar shows up, the "nature" of earth is being changed, and Light eliminates the darkness  ...  Come, Daystar  ...

The Church is the Bride of Christ, and all of this holy rumbling in the Spiritual realms is readying the Bride for her Groom, the Lord Jesus Christ.  Every new soul that comes to Jesus becomes part of this Bride, and the move in earth, the fire on the altar, the great deepening of worship, the holy consecration, the power emerging, and the new scent rising, is to "complete" the Bride.  The Bride of Christ still needs more wedding garments, "souls;" she still needs to fill her Hope Chest, "Gifts;" she is still preparing and being prepared  ...  For what?  The Wedding, the Rapture, the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.  

Do you hear it?  Do you feel it?  Can you sense it?  Will you embrace it?  Are you ready for it?  ...  Daystar in us  ... 

                                        

                                               "Daystar shine down on me, let

                              Your love shine through me in the night."

"I AM"

"Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he

disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a

railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee."

(Jude 1:9)

"And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel,

The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and

  the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and

this is my memorial unto all generations."

(Exodus 3:15)

"And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou

say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you."

(Exodus 3:14)

The archangel Michael and the devil fought over the body of

Moses, with the devil again accusing Moses

But, Moses' wife had spared him with the circumcision of his son,

fulfilling the abrahamic covenant, with boldness 

Blood had to be shed to pay for Moses' sin of murdering the

Egyptian, so Zipporah paid the blood ransom

She brought Moses back into the Hebrew blood line, by honoring

the Covenant, with obedience to the maxim

The devil hoped that God's promise to Abram would be broken,

making God a liar, and he could say "Gotcha"

But, Moses' wife foiled satan's plan and ensured God's purpose

would continue, all the way to Golgotha

If God's promise to Abram had been broken, satan thought God

could not sit in judgment over him

The devil thought he'd won, but blood covered the sin; now, after

the cross, sin is "erased" and we win

Moses was spared because of a Covenant, and we are spared

because of a new covenant, in Jesus our Lord

Won't you accept His forgiveness, repent, be baptized, and filled

with His Spirit; please come on aboard

No accusation can get you; there is therefore no condemnation 
 for those in Christ Jesus, your Savior

All sins are forgiven; He died and bled for the evils, the lusts, the

hatred, the murders, and sinful behavior

The Lord Jesus Christ is the Alpha and Omega, the first and the  
 last, the Lion of Judah, and the lamb

He's coming again to receive His own unto Himself, to live in 
 an eternity of Glory, with the Great "I AM."

"Return To Me"

"I watch you in your hurt and pain," says the Lord,

and I long for your hand in Mine

Your struggles are before My face, I AM your comforter,

 and you are My own design

I wait for you and stand by as you strain to sleep, but

your burdens keep you awake

Don't you know that I love you and I shed my blood

for your heartache, all for your sake

Come unto Me; I was so hurt when you left Me, but I

have never left you nor forsaken you

For you see, I knew one day you would come back; you

would miss, and long for Me too

You are mine; your name is engraved in the scars in

My hands, forever to be known

My creation is My beloved, from Eden's dust, you are

the image of Me, My soul's groan

Have you not wandered too long, and your heart is so

weary, and aching for peace

Let My arms enfold you, wash away your sins, and

bring you a sweet release

Earth is My footstool, and the honest hearts draw My

eyes, to and fro from day to day

As I search for My own, and beckon them to My love,

from their lonely prodigal way

Come home, precious one, the fatted calf awaits, with

My robe of kingly stature

You can fall to your knees and be yourself now; put

aside the wayfaring actor

For I knew you from the womb; you were chosen to

be mine, a vessel for all to see

My arms are open wide, dear one, it's time to rise from

the dust, and "Return To Me."

"Eyes of Passion"

 

 

"For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him..."

(2 Chronicles 16:9)

The mighty eyes of the Lion of Judah: steady, conquering, deep, true, purposeful, undaunted, set like a flint, marked by profound prophetic strength  ... they are the "Eyes of Passion."

 

 

 

Lions' eyes are proportionately larger than in other comparable-sized animals.  Their eyes are well-adapted for use under very low light.  They contain a special reflective coating that will reflect even moonlight.  What?  I have to pause here and SHOUT!  ...  Ok, I'm back  ...  They reflect moonlight  ...  the moon is a symbol of the Church  ...  The eyes of the Lord reflect the Church!  If you're not shouting  ...  you be "daid"  .. dead!  Lions' eyes are effective even by starlight.  A white circle just below the eyes helps reflect light into the eyes to further improve night vision.

While we humans are looking into each other's eyes with such amorous mortal passion, THE eyes, that search to and fro for "perfect" hearts toward Him, are the most passionate eyes of all!  Who's looking for those eyes? 

Ah, the eyes of the Lion of Judah, reflecting moonlight, symbolic of the church, with a white circle: the holiness of God covering creation so that when it reflects back, He sees only purity from those He has forgiven.  And the starlight?  A reminder that He, God, created the universe and all that is therein; they twinkle and sparkle at His bidding  ... 

 

 

Passion means Love, deep, fierce, fiery love, and this kind of love is more than candy, roses, and diamonds; it's a "reflection" of the passionate eyes from above, a reflection of "true love" from the portals of glory, a passion that runs deeper than once a year, a passion that's red  ...  red with the blood shed for all mankind, a passion reflected from the highest stance  ...  the bended knee  ...

Eyes of Passion always notice the lowly things, the things many dismiss, the things of humility, the things of earth that are closest to the "dust," the lost, the hungry, the feeble, the sinful, and the hurting  ...  Eyes of Passion are beyond amorous glances; they seek to know THE perfect heart, that they may become "the perfect heart" to present a "perfect heart" to less than perfect hearts throughout the earth  ... 

"Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight.

Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes

of him to whom we must give account."

(Hebrews 4:13)

 

 

The eyes of the Lion, the eyes of Almighty God, Jesus Christ the Righteous, are upon us.  They are eyes that know, eyes that long, eyes that desire, eyes with tears, eyes that beckon the "dust" with the very breath of His nostrils  ...  O, that He could inhale and draw all creation to Him  ...  He WILL ...  He created the world; it's His, and He's coming back  ....  

 

 

It's not at all a mystery  that God would compare Himself to a lion in Joel, Amos, Obadiah and other places, as He said, "I will be like the lion, who suffers not the prey to be taken from him, but boldly defends it with all the fierceness he possesses: so also will I do, I will not suffer my people to be taken from me."  If you want to hear a roar, try coming against God's own! 

 

 

The Lion of the tribe of Judah reigns; He will return to set His feet upon the Mount of Olives and He will declare victory over planet earth; what He began, He will end; it's not defeat as long as the Lion roars; there will be a showdown and the tormentor will be cast into the Lake of Fire by ONE angel; the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof!  Don't question His authority, His power, His glory, His might, His omnipotence, His ability to WIN; if you do, He'll ask you my most favorite of all of His questions, "Where were you when I laid the foundation of the world?"  

Ah, the eyes I can't wait to look into, the eyes that have watched over me for many years now, the eyes that guide me day by day, the eyes I strain to see in the moonlight, the eyes holding me with their love, the eyes of the lover of my soul, the eyes of the Lion of Judah: "Eyes of Passion."

"Into His Arms"

 

It's so hard to say goodbye, and release love into the abyss of 

the beauty of the land of paradise

Letting go seems unnatural; our instinct is to hold on to the

body and spirit, with our love so precise

 

 

Oh, but death is not the end; it is the beginning for the child of

 God, and it is life renewed forever

It's a new dimension where tears are no more, health is whole, 

 and it's an ethereal beautiful endeavor

 

 

 When the angels come for us, we leave the cares of the world 

 behind, and we enter heaven's throne room

It's more real than earth, lasting for eternity, on golden streets, 

 with gates of pearl; it's vision's eternal womb 

 

 

We rise in newness of life, with a change to the immortal, when at 

 last we leave this planet for a new home

It's the desire for the Saint; we'll be with our Bridegroom forever,  

and we'll bid this old world Shalom

 

 

We will wade in the Rivers of Life, sing Holy where there is no 

 night, and we'll study war no more

And, we'll stare into the eyes of our Love forever, in a posture of 

worship, a constant demeanor of amour

 

 

In the company of the angels, we shall fly through the realms, 

 exploring the heavens and the stars

With a continual sound of new songs, sung with new chords,

 accompanied by strings of lyres and guitars 

 

 

 

Look up, dear ones, and let those loved ones go, for they will enter 

 into peace and joy, so lovely to behold

John on Patmos gave us a glimpse in Revelation; it was a vision of 

ecstasy, words on an easel of beauty foretold

 

 

We must say goodbye with happiness, for their arrival in a place 

 full of wonder, and know they wouldn't return

If we gave them a choice, when at once they tasted that home

 beyond the stars, their answer we'd discern

 

 

Release them now and let them soar into the eternal, leaving the

 pain, tears, and heartaches far behind

A mansion awaits the Bride, for whom the Lord has prepared; it's 

 been thousands of years in building and design

 

 

For all who have sent your loved ones on ahead, this is a prayer of 

comfort to let you know; there's no harm

We are joyful to commission those we love, to begin their new

 journey, and be welcomed "Into His Arms."

"In Loving Memory of our beloved Margie Bennett"

 

 

We will see you soon, dear Margie!
