Title: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by beth on Jan 26th, 2005, 7:12pm lt's from the heavenly Father's heart to the hearts of His children. Let's have clearer understanding of who God is and of the nature of His love for each of His children. l believe we all will receive a greater revelation of God's love... Lord wanted to open His heart to all of us about Himself, revealing several aspects of His nature - not only His love, grace and mercy, but also His wrath, justice and judgment. my prayer is... that you all will hear His voice and will meet personally with your Heavenly Father. YOU ALL ARE SO PRECIOUS TO HIM !!! |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by beth on Jan 26th, 2005, 7:17pm My dear child, l created heaven and earth. many have wondered how creation came into being. for Me it was simple. l spoke. this ia all l had to do. whatever l speak comes into being; it happens. Can you imagine the creative power and energy of My words? My power is only used in relation to My character. l am love and l have the power to create. put the two together, and you can see that l create in love. This earth is but a minute part of what l have made. but l love this planet and all l have made to live in it, including you. l wont dwell on the details of the planets and animals cuz l want to concentrate on you. yes, l made you. you are only one of millions, l know. yet because l have made everything in love, l have made you in love. you may not understand what this means, but you will. My words express My love, My life, My joy, My power, My will - everything about me. Because a day come when the personality of My word took human form. This word, My creative word, became a man and lived among other man. lt signifies that, although l created the entire universe, l decided to become a man for a short period of time. l had very good reasons for doing this, as you will see. l wanted you all, My child, to understand why l had created you, what in your lives pleased Me and what grieved me. |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by beth on Jan 27th, 2005, 7:25am My dear child, l have made you in My image. This doesn't mean you're exactly like Me, but you're to reflect My character and personality. Whatever l am, l want to see reflected in you. I see you as the real master-work of My creative ability. l have made mountains, rivers, seas, and trees, animal, birds, and fish. But l have not made anything else like you. You see, all the other aspect of My creation can give Me glory by being what they are. However, l can be glorified by you in a very particular way. Animal can’t have a loving, spontaneous, joy-filled relationship with me like you can. |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by beth on Jan 28th, 2005, 5:41am God created you in love,for love. Isn’t that good? His real expectation is that you will know His love, be filled with His love, expressed His love, return His love, give His love to others and enjoy His love. His whole purpose for you is centered around love. Always remember that. So, children of God, you were no accident. You are part of His overall plan. Sometimes you think that if it had not been for a man and a woman making love, you wouldn't exist. But who made that man and women? Who made them able to have sexual relationship? Who had oversight of your birth? When you were a young baby you weren't able to think, understand and believe as you can now. But God have watched over you and is bringing to fulfilment His plan for your life. God is a most ordinary inventor, isn’t He? Even when things appear to go wrong, He is able to work in the situation. He can turn everything to good for His purpose. |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by beth on Jan 30th, 2005, 6:32am "My dear child, l am your almighty God, and l am your father. l love you" God know your understanding of words such as "father" and "love" are coloured by your experience. But His heart is not like that of any human father. His love transcends any other. You can’t judge His love by human standards, no matter how good your experience of love. Even before you were born, He knew you. From the moment of your conception He has watched over you. He have seen your conflict, turmoil, trauma even. He knows your fears, your sins, inadequacy and insecurity. You have often wondered why He made you in such a way if He truly loved you. But He didn't make you like that. He made you to be like Him. He knew He would draw you to this moment when He could speak to you heart to heart. He wants to explain His love to you in such a way that you can experience that love and be set free from all the things that have made it difficult, impossible even, to reflect His love in your life. When you lose sight of His love for you, real problems arise. Sadly, some of His children do lose sight of the centrality of His love, and become hard-hearted. Since God created you in love, He had to give you free will. This means you're able to hate as well as love, to be selfish and proud if you wish. Everybody has been created with the ability to choose what to do and how to behave. You are no exception. Because you have free will, you have the ability to respond to His love. Many choose not to do so, but that doesn't stop God loving them and longing for them to be set free from the things that deny His love. God would like everyone to know and enjoy His love and express this in their relationship. |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by beth on Jan 31st, 2005, 8:45am "God's plan for you..." Before creation began, God decided to have a number of people like you who would be His children, and respond to His love. Out of the chaos and confusion of their lives He decided to bring His divine order to prepare and equip them for heaven. He sent His son to restore us to relationship with Him. As soon as they give their lives to Jesus, His divine order for their lives is establish. His Holy Spirit works in each of His children to bring His plan to fulfilment. You will be transformed into His likeness, changed from one degree of glory to another. You will one day see Him face to face. Then you will be like Him, and you will reign eternally with Him in glory. He wants you to look forward to that time, please co-operate with Him in all He need to do in preparing you for this. You will share His sadness for all those who are unconcerned about His reason for creating them. They want to make their own way through life. Sadly, if they decided to do w/o Him now, they will do w/o Him eternally. If they look to their own works for salvation, their own works will have to save them. This is impossible, isn't it? Nobody can know the glory of His heaven through their own works. |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by beth on Feb 1st, 2005, 2:20pm He was not taken by surprise when people sinned. He had already planned what He would do when this happened. Some people talk as if He was taken by surprise and had to alter His strategy to bring people back on course. How mistaken they are. They don't understand that God live in eternity and can see the end from the beginning. He knew very well what would happen. Like everyone else, you fell short of His glory and what He wanted for you. You were proud and selfish, wanting your own way. So, He planned for Jesus to take all your sin, failure, fear and inadequacy to the cross. God sent Him to take your punishment so that He would have no cause to be angry with you. His blood and your faith have saved you from His wrath. He died for you so that you could have a new life, and become a new creation. God needed to liberate you from spiritual darkness and make you a child of light. The only way for anyone to know Him is through Jesus. This is why you have had to put your faith in Him, and all He has done for you. |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by beth on Feb 2nd, 2005, 11:48am "God care for you..." He didn't create you to suffer at the hands of others, although He knew this to be inevitable. His son, Jesus, was subjected to opposition, rejection, abuse and hatred. God allowed this because He love you so much. You see, He wanted to free you from the effect of sin, failure and fear. He wanted you to be able to receive His life, a life so real and full that you could allow yourself to love and be loved without fear of hurt or rejection. As God have watch over you and seen the hurts that have accumulated, He have longed to bring you close to Jesus. For if you're close to Him, you are close to God. So, don't think God have been unconcerned about your needs. He have been waiting for you to give him the time and opportunity to set you free from the things that have caused the shame and hurt you have experienced. God have spoken to you in love many times. Often you've pushed away what He have said. God spoken to you through others, but you've refused to listen. So He rejoice that now you will sit at His feet and allow Him to give you understanding of His love. He want to speak from His heart to your heart.... |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by beth on Feb 3rd, 2005, 5:57pm God have saved murderers, prostitutes, drugs addicts, alcoholics and criminals. Don't you think He is able to save you? Why do you always think you are the diffucult one? Why do you think it should be more difficult for you to receive from God than anybody else? Why do you give the impression that Christ died for everybody else except you? This doesn't seem to make any sense. You suggest God have one law for everybody else, and a different one for you. You keep saying to yourself that there is nothing special about you. Yet you treat yourself as a special case, as if you are the only one God cannot forgive, heal, save or liberate. Its time for you to repent of your pride, don't you? You think such attitudes are the fruit of being humble; but they are not. You are saying you know better than God. He know more about this salvation business than you. If you confess your sins, Gos is faithful and just to forgive you and cleanse y U from all unrighteousness. Believe what God say. He is faithful and just. He have forgiven you and cleansed you from all unrighteousness. |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by beth on Feb 8th, 2005, 1:04pm God will always speak to you in human terms you can undersand. God wants to draw you close to Him. As your father, He want to hold you in His arms. He won’t force Himself on you. There have been times when God wanted to enfold you in His love, but you pushed Him away. So He've had to be patient, waiting for the time when you would be prepared to open yourself to Him, when you would dare to trust Him enough to let Him love you. When you receive God's love, you know His peace. God want to teach you how to rest in His love without thinking you have to do something to deserve it. So, enjoy His love, because God loves you, He enjoy you. You don’t need to justify His love for you; and you don't have to be afraid to entrust yourself to Him. You've really longed to know His love for you, haven't you? As you learn to find time to rest in His love, so you will be able to take that rest into every other area of your life. In the midst of all your difficulties, you will be able to trust in God and know the love He had for you. |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by beth on Feb 9th, 2005, 12:23am A child sat in tears in the middle of the crowd. She was lost, separated from her parents. Some walked past unconcerned. The child didn't belong to them so they ignored the problem. Then someone went up to the child, took her by the hand and tried to console her. At first the child wouldn't respond cause this was not hermother or father. She gave no answer to the questions but continued to sob uncontrollably. Then from the crowd appeard a distraught mother who enfold the child in her arms. The sobbing gave way to cries of relief from both mother and child. She lifted her up, hugging her closely, assuring, soothing. My dear child, do you ever feel lost in the crowd? Others may try to soothe you, but l am the only one who can lift you up and meet your need |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by beth on Feb 9th, 2005, 10:17pm "I love you, because l love you" My love for you doesn't depends on your performance or achievements. l love you because l love you. l have called and chosen you. You have been afraid to come closer to Me because of you sense of inadequacy; but l want you close to Me. l like you. You have doubted that l really like you. You see so many things about yourself you don't like, things you know are not My will for you. If you don't like yourself because of these things, you have concluded that l don't like you either! I haven’t liked your sin, which is why you have felt uncomfortable when you grieved Me. But l don't love you only when you are good. I don't love you only on your obedient days. I love you because l love you; and l like what l am doing in your life. I like to bring about changes which free you from the things you don't like about yourself. I like to see repentance which leads to forgiveness and a release from your guilt. I like it when you become less religious and more loving! I like you, My child. I really like you. |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by beth on Feb 10th, 2005, 7:42pm Don't you realise, I love you more than you love yourself? What do you think I should do with you when you step out of line and dissapoint Me? What should I do when you deliberately avoid what I am saying, and blind yourself to the truth? Should I punish you? Should I push you away from Me because you no longer deserve My love? Do you think My love is only for good, perfect people who always obey Me? If this was the case, I wouldn't have anyone left to love! Imagine a mother holding a young baby in her arms. Does she ask for her child to be perfect, mature and obedient immediately? She knows the child will need training, teaching and discipline. When he learns to walk, he will touch what he shouldn't touch and do what he shouldn't do. He will show little discernment as to what is right or wrong. But the mother doesn't reject her child, saying she cannot love such a disobedient failure. No, she draws the child closer, saying to herself, "l will train him and love him and discipline him when necessary. He will grow up to be a fine boy." And she will defend him against any why criticise him. He is so precious to her. Hear My father's heart beating as l tell you these things. Don't you see that this is how I regard you? I know you haven't reached perfection and maturity; you are still learning to walk in My ways and do what pleases Me. My child, My love for you is not a passing or fleeting infatuation. I have committed Myself to you, to love you, to be faithful and true to you through all phases of your growth and training. I have promised to bring you to maturity and to the fulfilment of My purposes. I will bring you to perfection, but I don't treat you as if you are already perfect! |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by beth on Feb 26th, 2005, 10:33am Sometimes I touch vulnerable areas of your life and you want to wriggle free from My grasp, at least for awhile; you feel the pressure is too great. No sooner have you shaken Me off, than you long to be in My arms again! You miss the comfort, strength and peace of knowing My presence with you. Slowly you learn to submit to Me and My ways. At first you obey Me begrudgingly, but later you rejoice in doing what l ask of you. There are still areas of your life that you consider to be your own. Either you've not submitted these to Me, or you've felt that I am not interested in your weakness and need. I haven't touched those parts you've not wanted Me to touch. I have respected your free will and waited for your invitation. I am able to heal the delicate wounds inflicted by others in the past. My touch is not like their touch. Their touch has hurt you; My touch will heal you. Trust Me. Every way in which I touch your life will be for your good. Even when I discipline you, it is always in love . You don't have to shield yourself from me. I don't withdraw from you, but continue to hold you until you relax and are ready to receive from Me. I love you , every part of you. I don't love an image of what you ought to be, but you; the person you really are, with all your faults and failings. I assure you of My love. Nothing is hidden from My sight. I wait until you allow Me to touch those vulnerable areas of yourself from which you have excluded Me. |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by beth on Feb 27th, 2005, 7:04pm Why do you imagine that My touch will hurt and wound you? I am gentle. I want to touch you with My tenderness. I care about you and deal lovingly with you. I don't work in your life by wounding you, making further healing necessary. I want to heal you through the revelation of My love I enjoy tender moments with you. I want you to give yourself time to enjoy Me. Please don't come crushing in and out of My presence in prayer, without letting Me speak lovingly to your heart. I encourage those I love. It's not My purpose to destroy you, but to build you up in faith. Living in fellowship with Me doesn't mean you have to strive to accomplish things all the time. My dear child, learn to be still and know that I am God. People imagine I break hard hearts through violent action, judgment and punishment. No, I break hard hearts by melting them with My love. So I keep loving and loving and loving, no matter what response is given Me. Understand then, My child, there is never a moment in time when I don't love you. you are the apple of My eye. You are one in whom I delight. I can never love any of My children with anything less than a perfect, unchanging love. I embrace you in love, in whatever way is right for you at that time. you are never out of My thoughts |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by beth on Feb 28th, 2005, 6:45pm My child, don't judge Me by your human experience of a father. Your natural father was a man and failed in many ways. You were aware of his weaknesess as well as his strengths. Some people have suffered rejection at the hands of their human fathers because they were men who could not be trusted. They were unjust or unconcerned about their children. I never abuse My children. l am near to all who call on Me. I am never distance . I comfort, strengthen and heal them. So I am not to be compared with any other father. I am Not a man. There are no weak, vulnerable areas in My life. There is never inadequacy in Me, or inability to meet a need. I love you with My everlasting love that will never fade; it will never be withdrawn from you. As your father, I watch over your development and I am concern to protect you from things that are dangerous and harmful to you. I never deal with you as you deserve, but only with compassions and grace. This is difficult for you to understand. I give and give and go on giving to you. I never come to the end of My giving. You often think to yourself, "who am l that l should receive such love, that l should know the personal affection of my God?" You are fearful that My love might suddenly be withdrawn and then you would feel rejected. lf you were to open yourself fully to Me and then l turned away, you would be devastated. But I would never treat you like that. I don't withdraw My love. I don't commit Myself to you only for a set period of time. My commitment to you is unending, as a commitment of love must always be. love cannot be real if it is suddenly withdrawn. I already know you, every part of you - and yet I love you. I see what you try to hide from Me. So, hiding is futile. I will not stop loving you because I uncover some unsavoury part of your character. My love for you is real. lt doesn't depend on who you are but who I am! |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by beth on Mar 3rd, 2005, 6:07pm My dear child, when you accuse, judge and condemn yourself, instead of being what I say, you find it difficult to receive My love, don't you? you concentrate on your inadequacy and problems, wondering if it could be true that I love you. You've listened to the enemy sometimes, haven't you? He tries to sow seeds of accusation in your mind and encourages your sense of inadequcy, making you feel unworthy of My love. Don't be deceived by any of his tactics. he is a liar. he has no right to accuse you. I don't regard your inadequacy and failure as the truth about you. the truth is that I love you. you are precious in My sight and I honour you. I see you as one who is slowly but surely responding to Me, whose heart is being melted by My love. I see you as My child belonging to My family, made acceptable to Me through the blood of Jesus. You could do nothing to deserve My love; I aso much higher and greater than you. So why not accept the fact that you can never earn My love, only gratefully receive it? My dear child, I don't dissaprove of those who approve of Me! If I did so, who would be left for Me to approve? Don't think I regard you in the same way as I regard those who still belong to the kingdom of darkness. The enemy shall not have you. The destroyer shall not touch you, for you are Mine. Sometimes you are concerned because I give you so much, and you give Me so little in return. this is false guilt. One of the most loving things you can do for Me is to allow Me to give to you in the way I choose. Then many others will receive My love through you, [i]if you are to love them as I love you . As a channel of My love you will radiate My love in your character and actions |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by beth on Mar 18th, 2005, 3:07pm My child, I am never deceived by appearances. you find that disconcerting. there have been many times when you have put on an appearance for My benefit or for others. you have tried to be what you know you ought to be. but it has never worked, has it? I see through the barriers and behind the masks you wear . so why imagine they make you more acceptable to Me? I dont accept you because of any of that. none of those masks encourage Me to love you any more than I do already. they only make it more difficult for you to receive My love. I love the person you really are . I sent My son to die for the real you - not some superficial, false expression of who you are. I dont like masks and barriers. I love people. I dont love what they ought to be; I love them as they are. you have vainly imagined that the masks would be more acceptable to me than the reality of what goes on inside you. I look at the heart. I know the longings of your heart and the conflicts also. you give people the impression you dont need to be loved; but I know differently. you try to persuade others that you are fine as you are. you are able to cope, even though often you feel so lonely within yourself. I love to come behind the masks and barriers to touch the lonely with my presence, to touch the fearful and inadequate ones with the assurance of My love. you have always feared, My child, that I would reject what lay behind the mask; but this is not true. I come where nobody else can come. I am spirit, and I come into your spirit and fill you with My love and say to you "dont be afraid, there is nothing to fear from Me." |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by beth on Mar 19th, 2005, 6:50pm My dear child, why are you so concerned about what others think of you? this occupies so much of your time and gets you into pityful muddles, doesn't it? others have the same problem about you. they wonder how you regard them. and I watch all this going on. Everybody wonders what others think of them. I see them fencing and sparring with one another and they become devensive and fearful. If only they would be open and honest, they would be so much happier. They would discover that they dont have to put on a performance for one another. Are you listening to Me, child? this very relevant for you, isnt it? Be yourself and stop trying to be someone else . Then life will be so much easier for you. you imagine that if anybody knew you for who you are, they would reject you. So the somebody else you try to be is rejected, because everyone knows this is not the real you. I know who you really are, and I accept you. |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by beth on Mar 30th, 2005, 6:15pm My dear child, you spend a lot of time being concern about your appearance. I like you to look clean and presentable. when Jesus walked about on earth He didnt go around dirty and scruffy. Neither did he wear his best suit all the time. But My child, you spend so much time preening the outside, while I am concerned with what is on the inside. lt doesnt matter how smart or expensive your appearance, if your heart is poverty stricken! when My love shines through your life, it doesnt matter whether you are wearing your pyjamas, jeans or your best clothes. sometimes I look at congregations of smarty dressed people in the church and I think to Myself, "who are they trying to fool?" they say they put on their best clothes for Me. the best clothes they could wear for Me are a pure heart and a good conscience , these delight Me. Those with pure hearts and clean hands ascend the hill of praise, holiness and true worship. So, present your body as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to Me. Even your best clothes wear out, but a pure heart doesnt, its eternal. My dear child, I wish you would spend as much time being concerned about your heart as your appearance. I say this gently to you, but it is something you need to hear. You are often complaining you are the wrong shape. this make Me smile. I see people doing all kinds of things to change their shape. Sometimes it is important that they do, especially if they are guilty of gluttony and are overweight in a way that affects their health. But they would be much healthier if they were more concerned about their spiritual weight and shape! My spirit lives within you to encourage the right priorities in your life. So lets work on these things together, shall we? We'll get this things in right order. You can look forward to the day when people will be glad to see you because I shine out of your life. Then they wont even notice what you wear, or your shape. What a day that will be, My child! |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by beth on Apr 20th, 2005, 3:50pm My dear child, I think you are beautiful. I really mean that. You are beautiful because you are made in My image, to reflect My glory. I can see My life in you, emerging like a butterfly from a chrysalis. soon you will be able to spread your wings and fly freely. Many of the ways in which I touch your life are apparent to others. But nobody else can see those deeply personal times we have together when you shut yourself away in your room to be alone with Me. Do you remember what I promise? I will reward you openly for what I see in secret. At such times you can bare your most intimate thoughts. You can tell me how you really feel. I never mind, child, what you share with me. The more open you are, the better I like it. The more real you are, the more I can respond. This is much more meaningful than formal times of prayer, when you say things you think I want to hear which don't come from your heart. I want to relate to the real you. |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by beth on Apr 21st, 2005, 4:57am Often you need assurance that I am pleased with you. But I am not only pleased with you when you feel the closeness of My presence. Have you ever been in a room with someone you love and yet it is not the appropriate time to hug or kiss them? You can communicate your love in other ways, can't you? It's the same when we are close. Sometimes it is right to enfold you in My love but at other times I want to communicate with you in other ways. I may need to reveal My thoughts to you and give you wisdom. It would be very boring if every time you drew aside with Me the experience was the same. Have you noticed in your relationship with other people, you cannot always predict what they are going to say or do? It is the same with Me. I'm not predictable, am I? I dont dance to the tune of any of My children. There is glorious variety in the ways I meet with you. When you dont feel I am close to you, I havent deserted you, nor have I failed to turn up for the prayer meeting. I certainly havent taken you off My popularity list. You can always rejoice, whether you feel My presence or not. Listen child, I am never late for a prayer meeting with you. I am always there before you are, waiting for you to come. You know, sometimes I've been disappointed because you haven't shown up. Does that surprise you? |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by beth on Aug 5th, 2005, 6:12pm My dear child, it is good to talk things through with Me, isnt it? Then you let Me into the secret places of your heart. You have the spiritual need to open these areas to the influence of My spirit. When you are open to these hidden things, I can deal with them. Don't say, "oh, you know all these things, Lord." Take the trouble to tell Me about them, and you will experience great release. Then the enemy cannot take advantage of you in these areas. While you try to work out things for yourself, he tries to take advantage, doesn't he? I watch what goes on in your mind. You go round and round in circles. The enemy goes round in circles with you. He tries to increase the confusion. I never go round in circles. I always come straight to the point and lead you to the answer, child. So when you share your inner turmoil with Me, that is the beginning of the end of it; even though it takes time yo unravel because you have been in a spiral of confusion. |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by beth on Aug 6th, 2005, 6:07pm We are going to have some good times together in the future, aren't we, child? You have been longing to know what is on My heart. Well, you see, When you share with Me what is on your heart, I share with you what is on Mine. You have to share with Me first. The measure you give is the measure you get back. This is a principle of My kingdom. I am not going to change My principles for you, or for any of My children. Share your heart with Me and I will share My heart with you. |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by beth on Aug 7th, 2005, 7:24am My dear child, there is no fear in My love. My love casts out all fear. You have prayed about your fears and have asked to be set free from them, haven't you? The only way for this to happen is for you to receive My love. Then the fears flee away. In receiving My love, your healing is accomplished, and you are set free from the things that have caused the hurt. The way you find it most difficult to receive My love is through others. Because My love is born of the Spirit, you want to receive it directly from Me as a spiritual experience. This is good; but its not the only way in which I communicate My love to you. My spirit of love lives in others. Just as I want to express t is love through you to them, so I express this same love through others to you. But you find it hard to receive in this way because you fear you will be in debt to the one from whom you have received. What you fail to understand is that you are also reluctant to receive love from me, because this places you in debt to me. Better to be independent and self-contained, for then you will not need to be in debt to anyone, even me! But I don't love you to place you in debt or bondage. I love you because I love you. I don't express my love to you through others to place you in debt to them, but because I want to break down your stubborn self-will and independence. It is humbling, isn't it, to discover your need not only of me but of others also? It is humbling to alize that you cannot fulfil my purposes by being independent and self-contained. Sometimes you have argued that to receive love from others makes you vulnerable to them and open to hurt. So you have said, "better only to receive love from God directly." Then what will you do with all the love I put within you? Are you going to refuse to give it to others in case they are threatened by your love? When you experience My love, you want to communicate it and give it to others, don’t you, my child? If everyone was like you, afraid to do so, who would receive my love? There is always a vulnerability in love and the possibility of being rejected or hurt. But because my love is orn of the Spirit, that love brings healing. If someone who has communicated my love then hurts you, I will always send someone else to love you and be instrument of healing to you. |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by beth on Aug 8th, 2005, 1:37pm Sometimes the enemy attempts to make you feel guilty at having received so much from Me. He suggests that it is not your place to receive, only to give. So he encourages you to chase around in a frenzy of constant activity, lest you be rejected by Me for doing too little. Even when I encourage you to be still, to receive and rest in Me, he suggests that unless you are constantly active you cannot be in My will. Don't listen to such lies. My child, as you learn to rest in me, your tensions and anxieties ease. You cease to strive. When you believe that I accept you, it becomes evident that you don't have to try and earn My favour. I want you to work because you know you are already in My favour. You don't have to try to make yourself acceptable to Me. You are already accepted because you have put your faith in what Jesus has done for you on the cross. There He dealt with all the unloving this about you -- every sin and failure. Every fear and every need was met. It is pointless to try to make yourself acceptable when you already are! Believe what I have done for you and live in the good of it. There is no point in My giving you tender assurance of My love if you don't believe what I say. I have demonstrated My love, not simply by words, but in action. In giving My Son's life on the cross, I showed the full extent of My commitment to you. I was prepared to love you even to the point of death. |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by beth on Aug 9th, 2005, 10:24pm My dear child, I knew you before you were born. You were an object of My desire and My love, even when I planned your life. You wonder how this could be true as you are only one of a multitude of people. I see the deliberate disobedience of many. but in every generation I have planned that there will be those who are my own special possession. They fulfil My heart's desire and radiate My glory in their lives. You are such a one, child. I watched over the circumstances of your birth, your parents and your family. You wonder at that because this have been far from perfect in your childhood and adolescence. There have been many difficulties and traumas. Did I plan these? Well, My child, I saw you through them all, didn't I? Those difficulties were important in building your character and in teaching you to look to me and depend on My love. It is quiet painful growing up, isn't it? All those tensions you had to go through, and the questions. This is an inevitable process. You had to go through it; but look at you now! You have a heart full of love for Me and the rest of your life stretches before you. You can love and serve Me for the rest of your life, and you will be with Me in glory for evermore. This is comforting to know, isn't it? Don't fear what is ahead of you. if I could see you through past problems, I can certainly see you through future experiences. I have seen new life emerging in you through all these developing processes. Since you put your faith in Jesus, My Spirit has been producing fruit in more and more areas of your life. I watch this process and it really delights Me. You have no idea how it thrills My heart. I love to see myself reflected in My children. This causes them to be really happy and fulfilled. I love to see My joy breaking through in you. You are learning to rejoice in Me, even when things seem really tough. I have been good to you, haven't I? |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by beth on Aug 10th, 2005, 2:15pm Do you know what I like to give you? What you have been most afraid of -- people. You see, I love people. I draw My children together in genuine unity. You can be thankful for the friends I have given you. I want to give you relationships in which you can know My love and unity. I am present in a very special way among those who love Me. I have many more people to give you in the coming years. You can show how much I care for those I bring across your path. You can speak My word into their lives. Others I will bring into your experiences as ambassadors of My love to you. Sometimes others attack and hurt you. I don't want this. But I forgive you when you hurt others, don't I? And I forgive them when they hurt you. I want you to forgive them. I won’t forgive you if you refuse to forgive others. When you forgive, I am present to heal the hurts inflicted on you by others. Do you remember when it seemed everybody turned against you? You thought the enemy was working through everyone. You hardly knew which way to turn, did you? So you turned to Me and I saw you through. I provided for you, precious child. Those past hurts do not seem nearly as significant now, do they? I am still undoing their effects so you can walk in greater liberty. I like the way you are learning to have real faith about the future, to expect good things. You are not so afraid of the people you meet and the way in which you have to relate to them. This is good, real evidence of My work. You have been able to trust Me this far; so trust me for the future. |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by beth on Aug 11th, 2005, 5:51pm My dear child, I know how many hairs you have on your head. If such a minor detail is known to Me, don't you think that more important things about you interest Me? You have often thought that I am not concerned about small details because I'm so busy looking after everybody else. When My Spirits comes to dwell in one of My children, every thought, problem or need is of personal concern to Me. This is why you can ask Me for anything in the name of Jesus and I will give it to you. It doesn't have to be a big need, but any little thing that worries you. Some people ridicule those who learn to trust Me for little things. They suggest I couldn't be concerned with petty matters. But they are wrong. My love for you is such that I don't regard anything as petty. If you regard something as important enough to pray about, I regard it as important enough to answer! Some don't receive because they don't ask. They could receive so much more from Me if they only trusted Me for small matters. Don't listen to those who laugh at you because of the way you depend on Me. I love you, child. I love to do things for you. I won’t allow you to be idle. I won’t do for you what you are supposed to do yourself. I am teaching you to be a responsible discipline. You and I have a love relationship. Just as you love doing things for Me, so I love doing things for you. It has taken ages for you to appreciate this. You used to be surprised when I did anything for you! Now you are beginning to see the point. You and I can live together in love everyday. |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by dOnUtz 9urL on Nov 1st, 2005, 9:36am My dear child, sometimes l have asked you to do difficult things. At least, they seemed difficult at first and so you were reluctant to respond. Trust Me, do what I say and later you will understand My wisdom. If I had shown you the whole picture at the beginning, you would have tried to produce the end result in your own way, instead of letting Me lead you step by step. On other occasion , if I had shown you where I was leading you, you would have refused through fear. I work in your heart to prepare you for what lies ahead, changing your mind and desires. As My will unfolds, you are prepared to accept the next step. Then when you come to the end of the process, you have a great sense of fulfilment because you know you have done what I asked. When you look back over this whole process, you marvel at how much I have actually done within you. This sense of fulfillment in knowing you have obeyed Me and completed My purpose is My precious gift to you, My child. Sometimes you wonder whether you got everything right. Time and time again I assure you, "That is good, My child. You have done what I asked." Even before I send you, I know what you will say and do. I take all that into account. You get all hot and bothered about things when you listen to the enemy who tries to give you a false sense of failure. Don't allow him to do this. I enjoy what I am doing in you now, despite the fact that sometimes you flounder. I will enjoy leading you to a further stage of maturity, growth, development, fruitfulness and glory! I will enjoy each stage along the path. As far as I am concerned, the whole process is to be an enjoyable one. I don't place false expectations on you. I know what l can expect of you at every stage along the way. What I ask of you now, you are able to fulfill now. A little ago that would not have been possible, but I have prepared you. My timing is always perfect. |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by dOnUtz 9urL on Nov 2nd, 2005, 7:20am The future is going to be exciting, child. You don't have to know the details. Many of My children want to know everything that is going to happen to them. I can understand their concern, but I want them to trust Me and be content that My word is a lamp for their feet. I will take care of their tomorrows. If they obey Me step by step, I will look after them. Take no thought for tomorrow. Each day has enough cares of its own. The way I programme your life means that each day will have enough for you to contend with; but if you take the other burdens about the future on yourself, you will carry a load too heavy for you. Then you will begin to feel unable to cope. If you can't deal with what is happening now, you won't have much motivation to allow Me to lead you on. So it is very important for you to obey Me by not worrying about the future. When I speak to My children to give them direction, I do so in a variety of ways, once even through a donkey! I always ensure they hear Me. I know how to speak to every one of My children. Why should I speak in ways you can't hear? Sometimes I have to listen to the frustration of those who think I have forgotten them. They have heard nothing more from Me because they need to obey what I have already said. When people don't like what I say, they wait for Me to say something else. No wonder they get stuck! But you are not like that, child. You hear My voice. You are learning to discern the difference between My will and the spoiling tactics of the enemy. That's good, because I don't want him to distract you. My sheep know My voice and follow Me. You are one of My sheep, child. You know My voice and I rejoice that your heart is Mine and that you want to follow Me. |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by dOnUtz 9urL on Nov 7th, 2005, 5:10pm My dear child, how much of Me do you possess? All of Me. You wonder how could possess all the love of your God, for I have so many others to love as well. But I don't love anybody the way I love you. My love for you is utterly unique. A human mother and father may have several children, yet love each one with all their hearts. They won't divide their love into portions, giving one part to each child. I don't divide My love into millions of segments and say to you, "Here My child, have one small portion of My love." No, I give you all of My love. I give you all of Myself; I love to live in you by the power of My spirit. Isn't this wonderful ? I speak many truths into your heart to show you how precious you are to Me. Live in the fullness of the glorious inheritance you have through Jesus. |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by Gracia on Nov 8th, 2005, 4:04am I'm always speechless partner, how you reveals the love of God to us. Please do keep posting, we need to be reminded how has God loved us in a very selfless way no matter how mean we are in dealing with life and in our way of treating Him. My only consolation for all my wrong doings is my belief that our God is extremely forgiving and very loving. Thank YOU GOD. |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by dOnUtz 9urL on Nov 10th, 2005, 1:35pm sometimes in our life we thought that our life aint precious, noone love us... but God really really love us eventho we always stab Him from the back, or we always dissapoint Him, but He always love us like a father love their children, an unconditional love that is :) :) :) |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by dOnUtz 9urL on Nov 10th, 2005, 2:15pm I have another question to ask you. How much of you belong to Me? Everything. All of you . You are mine forever. I have paid the price for you, haven't I? I didn't purchase part of you with My Son's blood. I purchased the whole of you because I wanted every part of you. So you really are My property, child. How much of you do I possess in practice? I know every part of you belong to Me, but do you really surrender every part of yourself? Do you still want your own plans and purposes, instead of Mines? You know the answers, child. But as I am encouraging you to take possession of every part of Me, so I am taking possession of every part of you. With the blood of My Son I purchased the freehold of your life and I have entered in to take possession of every part of My property. Yes, My child, every part. I want all of you, not part of you, in heaven. So I am taking possession of what is rightfully Mine. Most of the time you enjoy this and co-operate with Me, but sometimes, child, you hesitate, don't you? You like the idea of belonging to Me completely, but you don't always want to face the practical implications of this, especially when I ask you to do something you don't want to do. I am patient with you at such times. When you acknowledge that what is Mine is Mine, then all conflict raging within you will cease! You will be at peace again. Have you noticed that the more I have possession of you in practice, the happier you are? Do you know why? Every part of you that I take possession of becomes filled with My life, love, joy, peace and power. Why withhold anything from Me then, child? Some try to hold on to their money. They are afraid to let Me use it because they think I will take it all from them. They don't believe that whatever is given to Me, I measure back abundantly. So if they don't let Me have their money, they miss an area of My abundance. Sad, isn't it? Are you glad I have been patient with you, child? Have you noticed, beloved one, that the more you let Me possess you, the more of Me you possess? |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by dOnUtz 9urL on Nov 12th, 2005, 7:52pm My dear child, I am merciful; slow to anger and quick to love. You are a branch of the true Vine, Jesus. In My love I prune every branch to make each one more fruitful. When I apply My pruning knife to your life, I cut away the superficial. I have not allowed unrefined parts of your life to interfere with our relationship, or with what you have been able to receive from Me. This is an aspect of My mercy for which you need to be thankful. You wonder how I could have blessed you so much when you have doubted Me, questioned My love, disbelieved My word and promises. In My mercy I deal with these things so that the quality of our relationship will be enchanged. I don't try to deal with everything that needs to be corrected all at once. I maintain My steadfast love to you despite all these things. |

Title: Re: YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS Post by dOnUtz 9urL on Nov 13th, 2005, 3:51pm Sometimes you experience liberty when you focus on Me with praise, only to return to your struggles afterwards. I want you to know liberation which lasts. You are still unaware of many of the things I need to deal with. My mercy will remain new to you every day so that your fellowship with Me will not be hindered while I am dealing with you. Some people give an impression that everything is fine and such a process is not needed in their lives! How foolish and deceived they are. Most of the pain and fear of the refining process is only in your attitude. When I do the work, it is gentle, isn't it? It is loving, tender and gracious. This is the nature of My heart. So don't hide your need in praise. Don't pretend everything is fine when it isn't. Trust in My mercy to deal lovingly with you, and encourage others by assuring them I am merciful. Be very thankful when others express My tenderness and loving forgiveness, when they are compassionate and show the understanding that comes from My heart. You need to pray, My child, that more people will reveal the true nature of My heart, not in harsh judgement, but in tender care. I am always merciful to those who fear Me and to those who are concerned to walk in My ways. Because I am rich in mercy, I have made you alive with Christ. I want you to be rich in mercy, too. You are merciful by nature, child, because Jesus lives in you. |
