7/17/18  NOT OUT, BUT IN

HEARD: 

What are you searching for?  A way out.  Sweet one, you are IN My plan.  In Me.  Clinging daily.  Not forsaking your position.  United and partnering.  Where you go I go. We are one.  Set free to trust Me.

FROM ICE DANCER’S POEM:

You grounded your mind-sets to rest in My plan.

Yes you died dead, to become a free man.

But I resurrect all planting that is Mine.

That you bare fruit for My glory to shine.

It’s not a way out, it’s a way in. Deeper still.  Come closer.  Edible fruit.  From clinging to the vine.

Galatians 5:22-25 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, self-control: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

WORD TO PONDER:  NOT OUT, BUT IN  7/17/18

Precious ones, as many as are godly will suffer persecution.  Likewise through much tribulation you enter the kingdom of God.  I do promise to deliver you out of such, just as I delivered Paul out of them all.  However while you are in such, trust Me that whatever is allowed in your life I use for My good purposes in your lives and others. 

When difficulties come, let them be invitations to go deeper still, deeper IN to me.  Resist running away and come INto My arms of love!  I will never leave nor forsake you and as you learn to cling to Me, you will enjoy the intimacy of our loving fellowship.  Remember that I prepare a table for our fellowship even in the midst of our enemies.    Your clinging is producing wonderful fruit that is most desired and useful for good.

Romans 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For your sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creation, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

2 Timothy 3:11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.

Acts 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
