ONLY BELIEVE

8/10/2008

I have not only gone ahead of you to prepare a place in heaven for you,

but have also prepared all that is your eternal life here in this earth 

I want you to grasp this.  I want you to believe it.  And I want you to rest in it 

For you see, your thinking is wrong 

It is natural and not spiritual

I AM the Designer-Creator of all of your eternity 

Eternity began for you the day that your eternal life began 

And your eternal life began the day that you asked Me into your heart

You are not of the world any longer, only in it for the glory of My Father 

You are already in your eternity 

On the day you invited me into your heart,

you died to the world and became a new eternal creature 

Your life is now found in Me, eternally 

For all I AM (and now you are) is eternal

All of what I have for you was bought at the cross 

It became available to you the moment you opened your heart to Me

All of it 

It is prepared for you; a table richly filled for you to come unto.

A place where you may eat together with Me.

in My Presence, for your joy.

in the presence of your enemies, for their shame

It is to this table that I lead you now

~so~ 

Come  Eat  Rest  

Know that I have not called you to sit there alone,

but have prepared the places at your right and at your left 

And I have prepared other places around you 

And I have prepared persons to serve you

For I desire the fullness of your joy 

At My table you will be honored;

and you will be perfectly loved;

and your eyes will be opened to see Me

as the Eternal, Reigning King that I AM

as never you have seen Me before

So do not let your heart fear.  Put your trust in Me 

Take dominion of your heart.  Remind your heart that I AM faithful 

And that I have not only prepared your place and peace in heaven,

but also your tomorrow

I have prepared a place for you that no man or devil can rob from you  

So listen to me my Beloved, my Darling, my Light 

The places and times and experiences I have prepared for you are all good 

I have not only prepared them,

but I Myself will receive you into them

so that together

we may experience them side-by-side

I call you to no place or circumstance alone 

ALWAYS I will go with you

ALWAYS I will be with you 

Even unto the end of the world

In the world there will be tribulations, but fear not; I have overcome the world

I have overcome the world by coming to you

Nothing in heaven or hell could stop that

You overcome the world by coming to me

Nothing above, below, or in the earth can stop that

Come to Me!

I AM your shield and your glory and the Lifter of your head 

And I Myself lead you in paths of perfect righteousness

for the testimony of My Father's goodness

All will not be sweet on these paths, but all will be good

Where there is sweetness; I want to share your joy

Where there is hardness; I want to bear the weight

Where there is confusion; I will be your Peace

So in reality, you see;

I AM THE PLACE PREPARED FOR YOU 

I AM your refuge - I AM your green pasture - I AM your still waters 

I AM your bread and breath and blessing 

Never something I ?do' for you.  Never something I ?give' to you 

I AM THAT, I AM 

Whatever THAT may ever be

I AM your life 

I gave My own life for you because I love you so much 

I have prepared a safe place for you in Me 

You in Me and Me in you; as we both abide in the Father's love 

And if you will trust Me 

And if you will come in unto Me.under the folds of My sovereign wings.

and if you will look only unto Me;

then you will know My perfect peace

I am not calling you to a performance of perfect faith 

I am not calling you to understanding.but trust. 

I am calling you unto Myself 

To present yourself to me continually

That I may make you a witness of My perfect love

Beholding My performance of our Father's will in your life

Upon the platform of your life

a witness of the works that have been prepared for you

from the foundation of the world

Your life and future are the platform for those works,

the vessel and temple of their glory;

not the power of them 

I AM the life, and power, and glory of those works 

And I will show them to you

And I will show them to others through you

If you will only believe

So remember My words as you step into the newness of your tomorrow

My words are life.  Hold fast to them

I am with you now 

I await you in your tomorrow

I AM here

I AM there 

I AM with you

I AM in you

I AM where you are;

ALWAYS!
