   John 14:9-11

9Jesus replied, Have I been with all of you for so long a time, and do you not recognize and know Me yet, Philip? Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say then, Show us the Father?

10Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in Me? What I am telling you I do not say on My own authority and of My own accord; but the Father Who lives continually in Me does the ([a]His) works (His own miracles, deeds of power).

11Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me; or else believe Me for the sake of the [very] works themselves. [If you cannot trust Me, at least let these works that I do in My Father's name convince you.]

The Bride and the bridesmaids shall soon be as one ,

Pure and spotless not undone ,

The Groom awaits the striking of the hour ,

And soon shall come in his fear and power ,

And all that shall be left is awe and dread ,

For those living in Christ shall receive their wedding bed ,

But to all that deny the will of God ,

Their fruit shall be damnation and the Rod !

11So [Israel] came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote [the Philistines] there. Then David said, God has broken my enemies by my hand, like the bursting forth of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim [Lord of breaking through].

The Answered Prayer

12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask[c] anything in My name, I will do it.

BE FORTHWITH MY CHILDREN FOR THE MORROW IS UPON YOU !

The Lord just gave me this word for the body of Christ . . . for your discernment ,

 Oppulent people will not acquire the kingdom of heaven yet their place will be with man .

Detestable practices are of great concern now for as the time grows short so those found "in" sin shall be left behind yet to the repentive in heart theirs shall be the Kingdom of God .

Be forthwith then and repent from all iniquities for your time has come my children and I am at hand !

 Poor and solice people shall not be comforted but by My spirit says The Lord for the comfort of man alone leaves my kingdom behind and eternity with me shall be your peace .

So come ! " Find Me now" for the morrow is soon to befall you and many shall perish that know my name "yet not my voice" .

Be forthwith and carry My kingdom in your heart that you may give My voice to the multitudes and many shall be saved !

John 10

1Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

4And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

5And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

6This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.

7Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

8All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.

9I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

10The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

11I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

12But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
13The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

15As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

16And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

17Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
18No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
19There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.

20And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
21Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
22And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.

23And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.

24Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
25Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
26But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

27My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

28And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
29My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
30I and my Father are one.

31Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

32Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
33The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
34Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

36Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
37If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
38But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
39Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,

40And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.

41And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.
42And many believed on him there.

Exodus 33
The Journey Resumed
1Then the LORD spoke to Moses, "Depart, go up from here, you and the people whom you have brought up from the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, 'To your descendants I will give it.'
2"I will send an angel before you and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite.
3"Go up to a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in your midst, because you are an obstinate people, and I might destroy you on the way."
4When the people heard this sad word, they went into mourning, and none of them put on his ornaments.
5For the LORD had said to Moses, "Say to the sons of Israel, 'You are an obstinate people; should I go up in your midst for one moment, I would destroy you. Now therefore, put off your ornaments from you, that I may know what I shall do with you.'"
6So the sons of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments, from Mount Horeb onward.
7Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, a good distance from the camp, and he called it the tent of meeting And everyone who sought the LORD would go out to the tent of meeting which was outside the camp.
8And it came about, whenever Moses went out to the tent, that all the people would arise and stand, each at the entrance of his tent, and gaze after Moses until he entered the tent.
9Whenever Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the entrance of the tent; and the LORD would speak with Moses.
10When all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent, all the people would arise and worship, each at the entrance of his tent.
11Thus the LORD used to speak to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his friend When Moses returned to the camp, his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the tent.
Moses Intercedes
12Then Moses said to the LORD, "See, You say to me, 'Bring up this people!' But You Yourself have not let me know whom You will send with me Moreover, You have said, 'I have known you by name, and you have also found favor in My sight.'
13"Now therefore, I pray You, if I have found favor in Your sight, let me know Your ways that I may know You, so that I may find favor in Your sight (V)Consider too, that this nation is Your people."
14And He said, "My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest."
15Then he said to Him, "If Your presence does not go with us, do not lead us up from here.
16"For how then can it be known that I have found favor in Your sight, I and Your people? Is it not by Your going with us, so that we, I and Your people, may be distinguished from all the other people who are upon the face of the earth?"
17The LORD said to Moses, "I will also do this thing of which you have spoken; for you have found favor in My sight and I have known you by name."
18Then Moses said, "I pray You, show me Your glory!"
19And He said, "I Myself will make all My goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of the LORD before you; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show compassion on whom I will show compassion."
20But He said, "You cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live!"
21Then the LORD said, "Behold, there is a place by Me, and you shall stand there on the rock;
22and it will come about, while My glory is passing by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock and cover you with My hand until I have passed by.
23"Then I will take My hand away and you shall see My back, but My face shall not be seen."

Exodus 39:30-39
30(A)They made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and inscribed it like the engravings of a signet, "Holy to the LORD."
31They fastened a blue cord to it, to fasten it on the turban above, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
32Thus all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting was completed; and the sons of Israel did according to all that the LORD had commanded Moses; so they did.
33They brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent and all its [a]furnishings: its clasps, its boards, its bars, and its pillars and its sockets;
34and the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of porpoise skins, and the screening veil;
35the ark of the testimony and its poles and the mercy seat;
36the table, all its utensils, and the bread of the Presence;
37the pure gold lampstand, with its arrangement of lamps and all its utensils, and the oil for the light;
38and the gold altar, and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense, and the veil for the doorway of the tent;
39the bronze altar and its bronze grating, its poles and all its utensils, the laver and its stand;

John 16
1 I HAVE told you all these things, so that you should not be offended (taken unawares and falter, or be caused to stumble and fall away). [I told you to keep you from being scandalized and repelled.]2They will put you out of (expel you from) the synagogues; but an hour is coming when whoever kills you will think and claim that he has offered service to God.
3And they will do this because they have not known the Father or Me.

1 Chronicles 28:11-19 (New American Standard Bible)
11Then David gave to his son Solomon the plan of the porch of the temple, its buildings, its storehouses, its upper rooms, its inner rooms and the room for the mercy seat;
12and the plan of all that he had in mind, for the courts of the house of the LORD, and for all the surrounding rooms, for the storehouses of the house of God and for the storehouses of the dedicated things;
13also for the divisions of the priests and the Levites and for all the work of the service of the house of the LORD and for all the utensils of service in the house of the LORD;
14for the golden utensils, the weight of gold for all utensils for every kind of service; for the silver utensils, the weight of silver for all utensils for every kind of service;
15and the weight of gold for the golden lampstands and their golden lamps, with the weight of each lampstand and its lamps; and the weight of silver for the silver lampstands, with the weight of each lampstand and its lamps according to the use of each lampstand;
16and the gold by weight for the tables of showbread, for each table; and silver for the silver tables;
17and the forks, the basins, and the pitchers of pure gold; and for the golden bowls with the weight for each bowl; and for the silver bowls with the weight for each bowl;
18and for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the model of the chariot, even the cherubim that spread out their wings and covered the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
19"All this," said David, "the LORD made me understand in writing by His hand upon me, all the details of this pattern."

1 Peter 1:12 (New International Version)
12It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.

1 Peter 1:12 (New Living Translation)
12 They were told that their messages were not for themselves, but for you. And now this Good News has been announced to you by those who preached in the power of the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. It is all so wonderful that even the angels are eagerly watching these things happen.

Revelation 2:17 (New International Version)
17He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it.

Ezekiel 46
1THUS SAYS the Lord God: The gate of the inner court that faces east shall be shut during the six working days, but on the Sabbath it shall be opened, and also on the day of the New Moon it shall be opened.

I AM THE SEVEN EYES OF THE LORD ! ! ! ! ! ! !

I AM The 7 eyes of The Lord .

My eyes GIVE The Father's perfect Will , Life , Breath and light .

Where I AM you shall witness The Father's Hand !

Do you see ? This IS the "other side of the Scroll" as in Zechariah and the opened scroll of
My Son !

Yet Woven into The Tapestry of My Son's Testimony of Me .

And This Kingdom I share with you " My will being done " !

Matthew 7:13-14
The Narrow Gate 13 “You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. 14 But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.

Can you inhale it ?!

And can you release it ?! ( Freely you receive freely give ) ,


So let it be said so let it be done . . .

Peace on Earth Good will towards men \o/ \o/ \o/

Luke 3:4-16
4 Isaiah had spoken of John when he said,
“He is a voice shouting in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord’s coming! Clear the road for him! 5 The valleys will be filled, and the mountains and hills made level. The curves will be straightened, and the rough places made smooth. 6 And then all people will see the salvation sent from God.’”
7 When the crowds came to John for baptism, he said, “You brood of snakes! Who warned you to flee God’s coming wrath? 8 Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to God. Don’t just say to each other, ‘We’re safe, for we are descendants of Abraham.’ That means nothing, for I tell you, God can create children of Abraham from these very stones. 9 Even now the ax of God’s judgment is poised, ready to sever the roots of the trees. Yes, every tree that does not produce good fruit will be chopped down and thrown into the fire.”
10 The crowds asked, “What should we do?”
11 John replied, “If you have two shirts, give one to the poor. If you have food, share it with those who are hungry.”
12 Even corrupt tax collectors came to be baptized and asked, “Teacher, what should we do?”
13 He replied, “Collect no more taxes than the government requires.”
14 “What should we do?” asked some soldiers.
John replied, “Don’t extort money or make false accusations. And be content with your pay.”
15 Everyone was expecting the Messiah to come soon, and they were eager to know whether John might be the Messiah. 16 John answered their questions by saying, “I baptize you with water; but someone is coming soon who is greater than I am—so much greater that I’m not even worthy to be his slave and untie the straps of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

I AM I AM

I AM much greater than anything that can be placed on a throne . The way that I AM is much greater than the eye can conceive in itself for it must gather light and a reflection is posed and focused yet as " The Ancient of Days " how can it truly catch something eternal and timeless for I am within myself alone yet constantly expanding .
So do not try to piece me together but enjoy me as God Almighty and remember it is my love alone that holds , creates , moves and shapes in an eternal manner not known to mankind on any plateau or dimension and yet even the word heaven is truly more than mankind can conceive , fathom or understand even the thread to a page "yeah" a Jot or Tittle of my Word that is my Son for as I AM eternal he created you in my image yet you speak a mystery unto yourself in a word that attempts my creation and kingdom " Heaven " !
Biospheres are seperated yet I remain whole ,
Atoms are split yet I remain !
Oceans evaporate yet I AM ,
People live and die , still I give them their breath ?!
The wind blows yet unseen and untouchable is its source ,
The waters rise and shift even as you sleep yet I am unchanged while I expand my kingdom before you .
Who AM I ?
I AM "THAT" I AM . . .
Still can you hold me in your hand or blow me away as a seed in your palm ?!
Still I bear fruit . . .
Still I remain . . .
Still I expand . . .
I AM ever changing you yet you yourself are eternal as me !
My image , My plan yet eternal . . . How can this be ?!
My kingdom escapes you yet it is accessible ?!
It is visible as Stephen said and it is obtainable for Jesus IS !
My love for you is eternal do not succumb to the lies of the enemy for their days are numbered and shall soon be fulfilled .
Be My vessels unto eternity .
Be patient , be strong , be encouraging all day long .
Let not night slow you down . Run , Yell And Declare your crown !

I AM the light that you shed ,
So do not fear and do not dread ,
For I AM your Hope , your Truth , your Life ,
Come to Me alone to remove your strife ,
The time is short now for I AM coming soon ,
Sound the trumpet , prepare for your Groom !
Orchestration is what you are experiencing "you are in My band"!
You are in My will not your own !
I AM the Truth you seek , lean with All your might upon Me ,
I will sustain you ,
I will keep you ,
I will provide for My kingdom and My kingdom alone !
My Zeal will be the driving force to bring you into My perfect will !
I am your mirage of hope above the ground as on a hot day yet I am reachable , tangable in My mind alone ! ! !
" The Manifold Wisdom of God " WHO I AM !
I AM ~ I AM HOLY ~ TRUE ~ FAITHFUL~ ETERNAL AS YOU !

Romans 12
A Living Sacrifice to God
1 And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. 2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
3 Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us. 4 Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, 5 so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other.
6 In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. 7 If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. 8 If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.
9 Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. 10 Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. 11 Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically. 12 Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying. 13 When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality.
14 Bless those who persecute you. Don’t curse them; pray that God will bless them. 15 Be happy with those who are happy, and weep with those who weep. 16 Live in harmony with each other. Don’t be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don’t think you know it all!
17 Never pay back evil with more evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honorable. 18 Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone.
19 Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say,
“I will take revenge; I will pay them back,” says the Lord.
20 Instead,
“If your enemies are hungry, feed them. If they are thirsty, give them something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals of shame on their heads.”
21 Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good.
