I'm blessed to married to a wonderful husband who is also in pursuit of intimacy with our Lord. We work together in real estate and ministry. We have four children, seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Rise Up

My child, open your mouth wide and I will fill it. Let your ears be attentive to My voice. Hear what I am saying to the Church and speak the words I give you. For I am calling My Church. I am wooing My Bride. I the Lord have established My Kingdom and I desire My Bride to come near to Me. Cease striving after things of this world. Give Me your whole heart and your full attention. I am gathering My army. I am calling My Church. Rise up out of your sleep Church. Wake up from your slumber. I am filling you with power from on high. I am equipping you for every task. Rise up Church. Let Me be your strength. Let Me empower you for every good work. Do not fear. Walk in Me and be strong and courageous. For I your God will be your strength. I your God will accomplish what I have ordained from the beginning of time.

Intimacy

My heart for you is intimacy. This is what I desire from you most. Stop all the doing today and just be intimate with Me. My desire for you is oneness. Come to Me My child and rest today. Rest your mind, your emotions and your body. I am here to be intimate with you. To embrace you and to pour out My lovingkindess on you despite any of your flaws or failures. Let Me love on you today. Embrace intimacy with Me today.  John 17

Return

I am wooing My people. I am putting a desire in their hearts to know Me. I am knocking on their hearts door. I am calling out to them. Oh return My people. Return to your God. Turn from your wicked ways and run after Me and not your vain idols. I am calling out. I am stretching out My hands. Turn My people. Run to Me. For I love you with an everlasting love. My desire is for you to come and be My people, set apart for My Holy purposes. Come. Do not delay. Lay down the desires of the flesh and the temptations of this world. Come and be Mine.

Perfect Love

My child, I am taking you deeper. The chaos around you will draw you closer to Me. Do not fear. Trust Me to bring you through. I will never leave you or forsake you. Believe Me and walk in My love. Perfect love casts out fear every time. Let My love poor through you today. Deuteronomy 31:6  1 John 4:18

The Eternal

My child, this life on earth is fleeting compared to eternity. Don’t hold on to the temporary when I am offering you the eternal. Let go of all that binds you and allow Me to fill you with everlasting joy.

Called By My Name

My child, have I not called you? Have you not heard Me? Those who are called by My Name will hear My voice. They will know Me and be known by Me. I am calling My bride, My church. Come to Me. Commune with Me. I will show you My glory. You will see great and mighty signs and wonders as you seek Me with your whole heart. You will walk in My power, My love and My strength as you go out and proclaim My Name to a lost and hurting world. I am pursuing the lost. I am calling the hurting. I am stretching out My mighty right hand to save those who call out to Me.

 

Willing ~ Open ~ Obedient

My child, My light shines through you as you obey Me. My Holy Spirit is looking for vessels that are willing, open and obedient. I don’t need the talented or gifted. I provide the gifts and talent. You just need to be willing and ready to serve.

 

Sit ~ Rest ~ Soak

My child, My Holy Spirit can work through you when you sit in My Presence. You think you have to be doing for Me, but all I am asking you to do is sit and rest in Me. I will do through you what you cannot do in your own strength. Sit, rest, soak in My love for you. Then you will hear My voice saying, “This is the way, walk in it.” Isaiah 30:21

My Word

My child, know My Word, believe My Word and live My Word. My Word is life giving. The world will try and suck the life out of you. I will breath My Spirit into you and give you everything you need. Read, believe and walk in faith. Psalm 119:105

Hold Nothing Back

My child, I desire all of you. All of your desires, all of your heart and all of your thoughts. Put Me above everything in your life. Hold nothing back. Complete surrender is what I am after,. I have so much to show you, but as long as you hold onto the things that hold onto you, I will not release them to you. Let go. Release everything. You will be amazed at the freedom you will experience when you surrender all to Me. Fear not. I am about to release blessings into your life. Far above and beyond what you could ever imagine. Let go and trust Me.
