A Father's Heart!

"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are...yet without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." Hebrews 4:15-16

"Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed." Isaiah 53:4-5

"Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and provide for the poor wanderer with shelter...when you see the naked, to clothe him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood (family...brothers and sisters in Christ)? Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard. Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here I am." Isaiah 58:6-9

How often have children, desiring acceptance, approval and praise, attempted in various ways, some healthy, others not, to achieve the attention of their parents? Many of us rarely receive affirmations and validations for one reason or another. Is there a remedy for emotional depravity, that so- called "love deficit?"

God has promised to be a Father to the fatherless. He is the perfect Daddy. In His loving eyes, nothing can be too big or small when it comes to His Little Ones. Even with the best of parents, no human can hold a candle to Him. The Lord knows how to be a Daddy to the fatherless. There is a special Unction upon those who were not vitally loved by a parent. The ninety-nine are left to reach that hurting soul.

In reality, we were created to share all that the Lord has and is. You were the Almighty's decision, beginning with an incubated thought and vision of what He perceived as perfect through the Blood of Jesus! No good thing will be withheld from His outstretched hand.

"Dad, look at the new stunt I've learned!," exclaimed the nine-year-old. Reading the daily paper, he self-talks with, "This is no big deal. I've seen it all before. Why can't people leave me alone?"

Then suddenly, a piercing cry emanates from that same youth. Apparently, something's wrong...perhaps a fall or sprained appendage. Without thought, Daddy rushes to the scene, adrenaline flowing. The result of that child's endeavor to impress and gain needed attention had ended in injury. Within seconds, Father was embracing the wounded one, kissing her boo boo, doing all within his means to make it better and promote recovery. Nothing held more importance. How much more does the Lord want to alleviate and remedy our infirmities? Desperate pleas reach His Throne at the speed of Light!

There's something about a child's cry. Our Heavenly Father has ears that remain more than sensitive to pain of any form. For some reason, Satan has been considerably successful in convincing us that God is too busy to hear us, or beyond that, doesn't really care. Nothing could be more distant from the truth, as He is touched by the feeling of our infirmities.

I often contemplate the Creator's pain as Jesus hung on that cruel cross. Crucifixion was one issue. Nevertheless, there were many. Beyond His execution, the Savior bore all sin, sickness, poverty and death...the entire curse of the law, assimilating every object and remnant of negativity, from pimples to cancers. His redemptive pain had to be outside our scope of comprehension. That truly was the darkest of days for the Author of Life. Papa's heart was torn as never before. However, the Trinity knew what hung in the balance, namely you and me, a restoration of the original blueprint, a Covenant of always having full sufficiency in everything pertaining to life and godliness.

Nothing has changed. We continue to be the Object of His attention and affection. Touch the Children, you impact Him and must be prepared to face the associated consequences. Satan is about to reap a harvest for each rendered attack, from day one to present.

The Holy Spirit now approaches the podium, eager to edify and announce His plan to put a smile on your face. Let's listen together.

Touched!

"Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial of your faith. The Fourth Man (Jesus) is in that furnace with you for the Glory! No weapon formed against the Children can possibly prosper. My Word makes a clear declaration about the Body, yes...even that physical frame. It's the Temple of the Holy Spirit, His House, so to speak. If you're not to defile your Vessel, neither should the enemy, via vain imaginations and other contrived attacks. Prepare for a revelation designed to knock those socks off. First of all, God watches over Heaven's Word to perform it, or bring that promise to pass. And no utterance from the Throne Room is void of the necessary Power. A double-standard doesn't exist. You are no longer your own, but have been purchased with a high price...the Lamb's Blood. The Believer is not alone in the glorification of Christ, by way of spirit, soul, body, finances, favor and ministry. Why would I instruct the Kids to diligently maintain their bodies and keep them well, if they had not been empowered to accomplish that through the Most High's faithfulness (Covenant)? The significant key here is more Medicine, an understanding of Our Contract! My words are Life and health unto those who take them as prescribed. Ingest all emanating from the Father's Presence. Many perish for lack of knowledge, a vision, not discerning the Agreement, that inherent Life within each Seed of Truth. Full maturity is what Papa has in store for the Bride, a season when suddenly a transference of alignment, identity, rights and privileges will strike the Follower. Just as Jesus received and incubated the Blueprint during His wilderness encounter, fiery darts and all, such must be the case with you. Satan can only attack in regions that are common to man. However, your weapons aren't ordinary (common) in the eyes of humanity, but mighty, potent, to the pulling down of strongholds. And the gates of hell can hold no candle to what's in that Book from another Dimension...the Manual on effectively making the System work. How often have the world and Church at least subconsciously thought they existed under a Lord Who doesn't really care, is too caught up (busy) with other matters to be sincerely interested, invested, touched and moved? Are you ready for another morsel of Truth? When one Member (of the Body) hurts, the whole Person feels that identical pain. Oh, Precious One, I am personally impacted by each tear. Stored in bottles on this end, those containers will be broken at My command, releasing the Glory...Clouds of Condensation, redeeming and reversing the captivity over which they were originally shed. Nothing is lost in Me! I literally save everything! And we will pull that proverbial rug from beneath Satan's feet, once and for all!"

The Finger Of God!

"Observe that horizon! The Glory Cloud is heading toward planet earth at lightning speed, under a Divine order, one which will trigger within My Church the excellency of Heaven's Power. Ready yourself to enter previously dark places, from hospitals to funeral homes, former regions where angels might also fear to tread without the Glory. Certainly you can identify with the intimidation of that challenge. Nevertheless, factor in this mandate. No longer your own, I have boldly promised to never leave or forsake you. We are in this together. The Soldier doesn't go to battle at his personal expense. Just as the Finger of God went before the Israelites with foes at their tail, such will be the case as God's Army enters towns, cities, states and nations to possess them with the miraculous, delivering tangible components of that new and better Covenant. Contemplate how the Finger of God ventured ahead of Jesus, permitting Him to safely pass through crowds that desired nothing more than bringing an end to His life and ministry by throwing Christ over that cliff. But was their evilness fruitful? Absolutely not! Neither can hell's devices touch a single hair on your head, since I have gone before the Bride as She marches down that aisle, to render the crooked places straight and remove contrary obstacles. Salute no man along the way. Dad's hand of Unction richly accompanies your journey!"
