RHEMA 12/17/12 FRIENDSHIP IS TO LAY DOWN YOUR LIFE
HEARD: Courage. My Bride. An answer to
prayer. Be bold. Amphitheater.
HEARD: To be My friend. What is the main
ingredient? The main ingredient is love. Loyalty. To
be faithful without regard to yourself. Yes My friend,
greater love has no man than he lay down his life for
his friends.
John 15:9-17
As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide
in My love. 10 If you keep My commandments, you will
abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's
commandments and abide in His love. 11 " These things I
have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and
that your joy may be full. 12 This is My commandment,
that you love one another as I have loved you. 13
Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down
one's life for his friends. 14 You are My friends if you
do whatever I command you. 15 No longer do I call you
servants, for a servant does not know what his master is
doing; but I have called you friends, for all things
that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. 16
You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you
that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit
should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My
name He may give you. 17 These things I command you,
that you love one another.
WORDS TO PONDERS ABOUT FRIENDS
RESURRECTION FROM THE TOMB OF DELAY 6/20/00
My faithful servant, My joy,
My friend. Remaining behind while others ascend,
choosing to serve rather than leave your loved ones
behind, you have walked in a cold place, with shame and
without honor. While you wait, I see you rightfully
dividing My Word and releasing hope to those in the same
waiting. Thank you Beloved for your faithful labors.
When I come, I will heal your
wounds from waiting. I will restore all your fruits,
with great increase for your years of delay. Do not
grow weary with discouragement, for I will raise you up
from your ashes of burnt offering.
My deliverer, fear not, for I
have securely planted you, within My sheltered place of
protection. The enemy thinks he has a hand in your
delay, but I will cause all to be turned and in a moment
of time all will be changed. Such shall be your
resurrection from your tomb of waiting. For I AM doing
a new thing. Do not be discouraged. Layer upon layer
of grave clothes will fall away. And in kingdom
authority and power all the encumbrances will melt.
“And he that was dead came
forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothesand his face
was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them,
Loose him, and let him go.” (John 11:44 KJV)
ALREADY
DONE 2/02/04
Thank you for your
intercession, My friend. The Words that I speak into
your life and you speak back to Me are already set in
motion as you stand upon them. I view them as already
done. Thank you, My dear friend, you who wait upon Me
and want only My point of view. How you honor Me as you
lay your life down and serve your loved ones while you
wait for Me and wait for them. I know your sacrifice
and commitment behind the scenes. I know you have been
misunderstood by your loved ones. I will settle the
differences. Your intercession bears fruit for so many,
even more than your family. How you have touched My
heart to be so willing to wait for what matters to Me
the most. Thank you for not giving up. You really are
not alone. You have all of heaven yearning with you,
dear one.
Rom 8:24-25 AMP
For in [this] hope we were
saved. But hope [the object of] which is seen is not
hope. For how can one hope for what he already sees?
But if we hope for what is still unseen by us, we wait
for it with patience and composure.
MY
FRIENDS 3/06/04
Some will betray Me. Some
will compromise and some will be faithful all the way.
Yes My love, it has been that way since the beginning...
And even when I already knew
the outcomes, I chose to love. And even so it is the
same with My gifts and callings. They are irrevocable…
Yes precious one, now you
know. I have given you a glimpse into Mine own heart.
How I long for friends, just like you do! How I long to
be one of those, just as you call them. - kindred
hearts. How it melts My heart when I see them suffer
because they love Me and continue to choose to love Me
no matter what. I AM all powerful, all knowing and
always present. I always was and always will be. And
yet only you can give Me volunteer love. And now you
know. How I feel.
John 15:13 NKJV
Greater love has no one
than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends.
YOU COMFORT ME WHEN YOU
LISTEN 1/27/08
My friends, you have not
understood how deeply you comfort Me when you give Me
your time and listen to My Word. It soothes My heart to
search the whole world and find the candles in your
window shining so brightly! You are up and waiting for
My knock. You are asking and hopeful; always requesting
more of Me. To find such friends is very rare, and I
just want to thank you for being My friend.
As you have opened more and
more of your heart-doors to Me, I have come in and we
have supped together in ever deepening levels. Such a
joy it has been to commune and sup together as you
listen, ponder, pray and share. It means so much that
you want to know what I think and feel and understand My
ways. It means so much that you have given Me room. It
means so much that you are willing to lay down your life
so that I have more expression on earth. Thank you
beloved friends.
Rev 3:20 NKJV
Behold, I stand at the
door and knock . If anyone hears My voice and opens the
door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he
with Me.
