Valentine Musings

Do you remember Valentine's Day in (primary) grade school?  The day held forth the promise of cupcakes and cookies and kool-aid brought in by the Moms.

Decorated brown paper bags that had been painstakingly embellished, were taped to the front of your desk.  Empty bags but open and beckoning, hoping 2 receive paper heart-shaped treasures dropped into them through out the day.  Oh the expectation, anticipation and bated breath!

Who could possibly explain that a  bag full of small white envelopes holding corny, folded valentine's with silly sayings, meant that you were counted in and not on the outside looking in?

How many were painfully aware of the rejects and rebuffs? Not knowing that you were Already CHOSEN.  Already LOVED.  Already desperately desired as aValentine?

This Valentine's Day, I pray that you will embrace the Love that is ALREADY yours!  I pray that you will turn and find your deepest desires not just met but fulfilled beyond all expectations and that you will be overwhelmed and swept away by the Lover of Your Soul. The ONE who knows you better than you know yourself and is as close as your  own skin because that is where HE desires to be, under your skin, in the crevices of your heart and in every area of your life!   

HE was there at each and every Valentine's day from your past, both the happy and the sad ones.  Before you were even born He hummed and sang over you: 

"I am your Valentine, Will you be Mine? Will you supine and your heart let Me entwine?  I will be the song your heart sings, with words and melody that only Heaven brings!  I love you so, more than you know, and I shall lovingly watch you grow. I shall wait for you, wait for you, wait for you My Love! For I died for you, bled for you, rose to give you life anew!  I call to you, and woo you, and draw you to Me, your whole life through.  So come to Me, dine with Me, recline with Me, and let me sing to you!  Laugh with Me, smile with Me, cry tears for Me that others may know My Love that's True, for don't you know I've cried tears for all of you?  Flow with Me, Grow with Me, Then Go for Me, and Show for Me the Love that I gave to you. Reach for Me, Teach for Me, Use the Gifts I've Given to you.  Love's the Key that opens the door, and there is so much more, just waiting for you to explore!  So Come my Valentine, let your heart incline and feast on My Love sublime." Jesus

Prophecy to The Bride

Prophecy To The Bride                                                                                                                  

Released in Makurdi, Nigeria, a Global Prophecy to the Body of Christ

I bring you Greetings today from the USA from my husband, from my intercessors, from My Dad and from Church of the Latter Rain, which is my Dad's church in Garland, Tx.  He sends his love.  He has been praying, his church has been praying for you.  I have intercessors around the world that has been praying for these meetings.  Hallelujah. 

We are Celebrating the Official Recognition of The Glory of His Majesty Ministries new home! HALLELUJAH!  You know, this is a testimony! It is a testimony of GOD’S Faithfulness, His Graciousness, His Abundance and Provision and That man's (pointing to Pastor Michael Ewache) perseverance, Amen? And that woman's perseverance (Mrs. Ewache) Amen! And your willingness to hook into the vision God gave him.  So I commend and I congratulate all of you. Hallelujah?!!

I remind you of scripture... I was praying and asking God, "What do you want me to say?"  He wanted me to remind you...this is what God Himself had to say about what could be accomplished by a people of one mind and one heart and one accord… 

Gen 11:4  And they said, Come, let us build us a city and a tower whose top reaches into the sky, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered over the whole earth.

Gen 11:5  And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.

Gen 11:6  And the Lord said, Behold, they are one people and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do, and now nothing they have imagined they can do, will be impossible for them. 

Do you hear what the Word of the Lord is saying?  When you are one heart, one mind, when you have have one language... Do you know what that Language is? It is the Language of Love and the Language of Faith! When you are of one language, because Faith worketh by Love.  When there is no disunity, when there's no discord,  when there's no disharmony, then GREAT THINGS can be accomplished and NOTHING will be impossible to you,  You've only just begun! Hallelujah!

I sought God and I said, God, this is such an auspicious occasion!  What is the ONE Word that YOU want me to bring to them? What is the thing that is burning on YOUR heart?   Because I could tell  you lots of things, but the most Important thing is, "what's the thing that GOD wants you to hear?" What is coming from the heart of God to you?  And this is what He shared with me... So what I'm about to share with you is straight from the Throne Room, from HIS Heart to Your Heart.  This is what God said.  He said, "This building is wonderful and I AM happy (Do you hear Him, He is saying I am happy) I am happy that you have a nice home in which to worship, in which to come and meet in.  

But what makes ME even more happy is when I have a Home, in which to dwell"  And HE is NOT talking about the building Beloved, He's talking about your hearts. He goes on to say: "It is YOU."  (This is the Lord talking to you!) "For it is YOU that is My Dwelling Place. It is You that is My Home. It is Your Heart in which I want to come and make My abode, in which I want to settle down and Marry you.  

The Glory of this building compares NOT to the beauty I find in each one of you.  The Beauty I see in you was the beauty that I created for you to walk in   and to show forth.  Because as you are showing forth that beauty, it's not just the external beauty, it's the beauty of My entire Being that I have deposited inside of you!  You are my "receptacles," you are My 'containers" you are My Carriers of My Glory!  And you are "Living Stones."  This is just a mere building, but, YOU are my church. You ARE MY CHURCH! YOU ARE MY CHURCH! And I have desired for you to understand that when you come together as those Living Stones and you are "fitly" joined together-when it is one built upon the other... line upon line and precept upon precept, it IS a LIVELY Habitation, it IS a LIVING Habitation!  It is not just brick and mortar. But it is a living home in which My Glory and My Honour can show forth from and spread through the land!  And as You step into that place of being My Home and My Tabernacle then My Glory WILL go forth from this place like rivers. Not just trickles, but like rivers!  Like torrents, like a raging flood across the land of Nigeria!

You will change the face of this land, when you change the face of your thinking about "who you are."  Because who you are, is who you are in ME! Not where you came from, not what you have, and not what you don't have.  It is WHO you ARE IN ME, Beloved.

I am not a hard task master. I'm NOT a slave driver.  And I am not an employer looking for employees!   I AM your Loving Father, I AM Your Helper and your Companion.   I AM your husband and I AM your Bridegroom seeking after His Bride!  Wooing you and longing you to seek after Me! But I will be patient! And I will keep calling you.  And I will keep tugging at your heart because I AM not rude  and I AM not unmannerly.   But I will tug, and I will tap and I will woo and I will call unto you... and I will say, '  I'm calling you out with a plan and a purpose. I'm calling you out with things that you know not yet of!  But Beloved if you will seek My Face, NOT my hand of Blessing, which is already... My heart is already there to Bless you... but if you will seek My Face, if you will seek My Heart... I will give unto you the keys to the Kingdom for it IS My Good Pleasure.  And I will open up to you, many things that you not, things that you've not yet seen!  I will whisper into your heart things that your heart has longed to hear, has longed to know of an assuredy, but your mind keeps telling you that you dare not even think that direction... 'for surely He can't love you that much!  But the Truth of the matter is I DO love you THAT MUCH!  And much more than you can imagine.

I want you to come,  and I want you to Dance with Me. Don't worry that you don't know how, that you don't know the step, you don't know the song.  The Song I planted in your heart, for you are my "poiēma."  You are My workmanship, my Poem, My Music, My Cadence upon this Land, My Melody of Love in a world that is full of Clashing, Clanging Chaos.   You, are my Melody of Love!  And if you will come... just put yourself in My arms!  Trust Me.   I will guide you. I will lead you. I will teach you as we go.  Don't worry that you don't know it all, you'll never know it all until you reach Me in Heaven.   But I will give to you more and more as you seek My Face. 

And as you take that time to come into the secret place with Me, you'll become so attuned  to the lightest touch, to  the smallest whisper of My Love, calling to you. and as you lean in to hear that whisper... You'll know!  You'll Know. For I'll have planted it deep within your heart until our hearts beat as One Heart and it will be effortless...like a bird flying, like a  fish swimming...You won't struggle to "be" because you already are My sons and My daughters, My Chosen Ones, My Jewels!  The very thing that I have lived and longed for is relationship with you.   I want My Presence to be constant in your life.  I don't want to be a Sunday visitor that you come into this sanctuary to meet and greet and spend an hour or two with.  No! I want to be your Lover!  I want to be your friend. I want to be your husband.  And when it is just you and Me, when you've put aside everything else and you've shut the door and you've come into the Bridal Chamber with Me.  You will  find out just what a wonderful lover I AM!  Just what a great provider I AM.  When it's "just" you and me... 

I am drawing you and I am longing you and I am calling for you. And I am saying, this is only the beginning.  What you are seeing is only a foretaste of the Glory of My Presence!  Of the Glory of Heaven.   And don't think it is reserved up "there" for you.  It is reserved, waiting for you to pull it down to earth.  Pull it down by faith.  Pull it down and walk in it daily, for it is yours to have! I will not share My Glory with anyone, but I will put My Glory upon you and with in you.  For did not My Scriptures tell you that you carry this Glory, this very Glory, in earthen vessels? !  I remember that you are clay, but you are beautified clay! You're dignified clay! You're glorious clay!  You're on your way to becoming a glorious Body, an unified Body- a Body, A Bride without spot or wrinkle.  That pleases Me so much My Beloved. 

And so I say to you My Bride, Won't you come away with Me?  Won't you ride upon the wind with Me in my Chariot of Desire?  For you've not tasted desire until you've tasted My Desire for you.  It is a burning, consuming fire that will burn out everything that the enemy has tried to trip you up with.   Everything the enemy has tried to put-every bondage, every fear every loneliness, every disappointment, every heartache... All of those things will be consumed in an instant , in the Presence of My Desire for you.    Because I only have eyes for you.   Will you have dove eyes, that only have eyes for Me? Will you be single visioned? Single minded?  Then come away with Me!  And as you focus on Me and not on those things around; those sins, those distractions that so easily beset us[you]...  As you do that, watch and see.  Will I not lift up those gates of iron?  And remove those bars of brass?   And as you are praising Me, doors will fly open in front of you without you even touching them.  Just at the sound of your Praise of My Name!  Doors that have been closed to you for a very long time will fling open wide!  

This is the Word of The Lord to you.  He is saying, Come! Come Away My Beloved.  Come and Dance with ME. Come and see what you've not yet seen. Come and be My Bride! 

He wants to Dance with you through All of Eternity! Won't you come Dance with Him?

Come Away with Me, My Bride-Guest Post Annetta P. Lee

Come Away with Me, My Bride

I am constrained by the love of the Bridegroom to scribe a recent encounter. I admit to being desperately hungry for more of Him, as well as needing the confidence that I am on target in pursuing His presence. During a twenty-one day fast, I sought the Lord for clarity in several areas. After ‘soaking’ in His presence I arose feeling fruitless in my endeavor. Even so, I’m here to say that awareness frequently arrives without perception.  Hours later, I experienced a multi-segmented vision that left me so shaken my husband, in his quiet way, proceeded in attempting to relieve my manner. 

I believe 2012 is primed for many such High Place Encounters by the saints. Are you hungry?

“Come away with Me, My bride. Let us set in motion our elopement!”

Immediately my heart leapt with eagerness; so much so that I was unconscious to moving from one place in the realm of the Spirit to another. I did not ponder the meaning of the words spoken at that time. I simply pressed toward the Voice. It was strong, alive and resounded with a quality I recognized as that of my Lord.  

Elopement is defined as running away secretly to marry.

Then the Bridegroom took me on an expedition to distribute gifts and awards that had long been withheld from the faithful. His Love and Delight at lavishly giving was evident in the acceleration of showering those who had waited for His appearing…those who loved Him more than the stuff.

For I am jealous for you with godly jealousy. For I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.  2 Cor. 11:2

After this, I ascended stairs to a beautiful chamber I somehow knew was a place of intimacy…our secret place. Though gently nervous, the setting was warm and inviting. Delight at seeing Him sitting in a separate area of the chamber engulfed my soul. I briefly watched as he studied pages in a book. While curious about its contents I craved his attention more.

Even so my eyes were summoned to partake of the detailed splendor of the suite, but my heart was upon Him whom I knew was patiently waiting. Through a sense of peripheral awareness I could see the chamber was lovely and decorated throughout with white and gold that appeared to actually breathe. But my eyes and heart was utterly drawn to Him!

Doubtful of words in my approach I voiced a question, the answer of which I already knew. When He turned I discerned that  He knew, and for a moment felt ashamed. 

His gaze, though gentle was intense…though convicting was non-condemning. Absolutely nothing could hide from this radiating expression so consumed with Love I thought I would melt. In that one look he said volumes I couldn’t begin to recount. The reverberation of His Love for me dug deep without hurting. In silent assurance, I was drawn to Him in the simple essence of a captivating stare from which I refused to disengage. 

I absolutely know His love for me! 

The next words I heard are for all who have ears to hear. “Beloved, I trust you with everything I have given you. You are created to reflect, reproduce, and reign. Step forth.”

A sense of normalcy pervaded throughout, and yet upon its completion I was struck with such a fearsome awe and exuberance I could scarcely speak. Indeed I encountered…I saw…I experienced…and yet do not have words to clearly express the dimensions of those precious moments. 

I sense that many have been instructed, like Abraham, to run away from the familiar and step into the new place already prepared. You are hesitating for fear you have not heard clearly, or you don’t know exactly how to proceed. I am impressed to simply remind you that you were not created to be a carbon copy of anyone. BE authentically who you are in Him, and you will indeed produce fruit from the union.

Three purposes of union with the Bridegroom are to Reflect Him; to Reproduce Him, and to Reign with Him. In order to do this, we must steal away (elope) and commune with Him alone. Beloved, indeed it is time to BE. He has equipped you with everything you need to accomplish that to which He has called you.  

Step forth!

·        that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.  2 Timothy 3:15

·       Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, Ephesians 1:3

·       I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, My soul shall be joyful in my God; For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. Isaiah 61:10

·        For as a young man marries a virgin, so shall your sons marry you; And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you.  Isaiah 62:5

·        For I am jealous for you with godly jealousy. For I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:2
