I really love Jesus and His Redeeming Love. His love is moving and active, full of grace, mercy love, forgiveness and acceptance.

There is an adversary the devil also at work in this world. He is always attacking trying to distract, destroy and direct me off that narrow road. Lies, accusations, attacks and the hardest battles often suddenly appear. We are faced with loss, grief, health issues, and on and on. What is your present adversary? Often the devil can use the same trigger again and again. He finds a crack in your wall and creeps into that inner safe place. Behind the wall that may seem so high.

That wall is my mirage of protection. It is not advantageous to stay alone behind that wall. For many years, I have experienced many kinds of trials and disappointments along my journey walking my own narrow road. I believe we all do. Maybe your narrow road brings different road closures or obstructions Suddenly you may have reached a fork in the road which can take you in a different direction or down a one way dead end road.

It is part of our growing, through the breaking down of that wall. Good news is that the rebuild is happening by God’s hand. I can picture Jesus picking up each broken brick and putting it back in the rightful place like a masterful artist putting together a new puzzle. In that wall is an open window to something bigger and better. God’s light shines through. I squint at the brightness. I open the window and walk through it not knowing what’s beyond that light but I trust God is leading me there.

To know that Jesus also suffered the ultimate rejection, pain and suffering, gives me better understanding. It does not take away the current trial right away but He gives us the strength, hope and what we need to overcome. Oh, how Jesus, must have felt when he suffered even more than we can imagine, physically, emotionally, in every way as he endured for us, the results of the falsities spoken against Him. Jesus, gave the ultimate love when he died on that cross. He healed the sick, loved the lepers. He healed the blind physically, yet many still did not see spiritually the miraculous.

As I walk this narrow road that at times, can seem a little foggy, I’m still holding His flashlight. My efforts often pale. In my perspective my light is more like a flicker most of the time. Don’t we all carry the burdens, He tells us to give to Him to carry? Yet, we do try to carry them and wonder why we stay burdened and without rest. When we look to Jesus we find comfort and wisdom in His Word (the Bible).

Sometimes it can be a struggle with the bombardment of thoughts to discern between the whispered lies verse the voice of truth. The battle in the mind can often be the biggest battle to fight. We need Jesus and to know how to also pick up the sword which is the (Word of God), to help combat those thoughts. Our mind may battle within like a rope being pulled this way and that way. We pull and pull and then at times it seems like some big dude with big muscles gets on that other end and pulls you face first in the mud. The dirt, the filth, we cover ourselves in it.

God answers

Then comes a hand, reaching down to help me up. The hand of God extends to his child. It is up to me to grab hold of his hand. Then Jesus pulls me up covered in the mud I fell into. I feel like a little child again. My eyes dripping and red. I look up at Abba Father as he wipes away some of the mud from my face.

‘Come here my child. Now, now. You will be okay.’

He pours his cleansing water over me and washes away the mud and mire.

‘Oh, my sweet girl, you don’t have to fight that tug of war alone. I already won the battle. I understand your thoughts, doubts, fear and the loneliness you feel. I have caught every tear and heard your cries. I know you often feel there is no-one who understands. You are not alone. I am with you. Keep trusting and believe. I understand what you are feeling and experiencing at this time. That is why I came. – To show you my redeeming Love – my compassion, empathy, patience. I want you to know me. In my fullness of all that ‘I AM’ and all I have given to you. I see you in your coming and going, between the porch and alter. I see when you rise and when you sit. If you take two steps forward I am with you. If you take two steps back, I am with you. Where you go I go. Even better my child, is that one day, you will go where I go. I love you. That is why I laid down my life for you and endured all, so that not only you but all those I love, would also experience my Redeeming Love. You have received me, the greatest gift of all. Pick up your cross and continue to follow me on that narrow road.
You pray and pray and pray. You say, ‘I don’t have enough faith.’
Who told you that you don’t have enough faith? No, no, you have enough faith. The accuser of the brethren (Satan) told you don’t have enough faith. Truth is you have enough faith. Faith as big as a mustard seed can move a mountain. If you have Jesus, you have all the fullness of God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) within His character living inside of you to sustain you. You need to speak it out and resist the lies of the devil and he will flee from you. The enemy has to submit. When you realize this then you will speak with tongues of fire. Christ’s authority given to believing Christians) Amen!

“Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.”
‭We have a calling to fulfill. When we have gone through that wall and walk in His Holy Spirit He will continue to guide us along that Narrow Road. Greater things He will do through us if we believe.

Be steadfast and Faithful always abounding in the work of the LORD.

In life, what we do is judged by thumbs up and a thumbs down. There are checks and balances, bottom lines, profits and debts. There is the right and there is left, liberalism, globalism, communism, socialism and conservatism. There are more isms and less logic, less morality, less, peace, less love, compassion sympathy, forgiveness, less everything. It is kind of like living life in a grocery line. We see it every time we get to the cashier as we spend more than we make if that is possible. More debt and less credit.

Chaos – killing, stealing, addiction divisions . . . seem to be the norm in the social fabric of life.. It does not seem normal. What is normal? The catch 22 used to just be a phase or the title of a country song. Sometimes it just seems like the cheese has fallen off a lot of crackers. A sense of what is true is lost in what is false. Narratives are opposite to each other. Who can agree? The does not seem to be an equal and opposite equation anymore. Maybe I need to watch a the old movie, The ‘Wizard of Oz’ again and learn from the smart scare grow again.

Now what? What is the answer? Do we all sit around a fire and sing ‘Bye Bye Miss America pie”? Or Amazing Grace. I will sing ‘Amazing Grace’or ‘Come Jesus Come we have waited so long’.

Then I will pray because right now, the only hope we have as a human race to stop all the insanity going on in the world, comes from our Saviour Christ Jesus. The world is spiralling into the abyss of hell. We must turn our eyes back to the cross of Christ, and pray for his saving grace and mercy to give us what we don’t deserve. We need to seek God like never before and bough our heads in prayer like our ancestors used to do, with reverence to God, the maker of heaven and earth. Cast down the devil and his demonic influence in this world which is very much active. Call upon the mighty heavenly host of 10,000 angels to battle for us in the spiritual high places . There is a battle going on right now for all of our souls. Pray and pray and then pray some more as the time draws near. Be rapture ready and turn to Jesus. Turn to Jesus.

The Time of the End

12 “At that time shall arise Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written in the book.
