~ INTERCESSION FOR FRIENDSHIP ~

HEARD 11/03/04: Psychological package. Do you understand what I am saying? Lonely. Needs a friend. Each friend bares a part of the burden.

VISION: I was crouching at the stump of the tree that was cut down to make the cross of Jesus. I looked over and saw the Lord Jesus laying on the ground on the wooden cross, before they had nailed His hand. I watched them take the mallet hammer and pound the nail into His palm. I knew that He was on the cross in my stead and it was so very painful to see this.

HEARD: Your need for a friend, I bore that weight. Bore your pain. Every living soul I took upon Myself. My daughter I bore your shame. I know how it feels to get wounded. Thoroughly alone, abandonment. I bore that too. The need to belong, that too. I did this so you may heal. Wound, too deep to understand. The weight of your wait. I carried you. All the way down through history, I saw your face. All alone. I took your place.

HEARD: A Friend, I'm still here, I never left you. I am your Friend. You've got Me. All of Me. I wholly and freely give Myself to you. I am here 24/7 abiding with you. I want to hear what you have to say. It's you I want. All of you.

============

HEARD 11/09/04: Destiny. Bridge of faith. You're going to need a friend. Humility. Look to other's needs, don't look to yourself. Bonded, can you accept that?

QUICKENED EYE GLANCES: After hearing the above, as I was connecting to the internet to download emails, my eye dropped onto the word "Connecting" and then immediately it moved to the column on the left onto the directory called "Friends."

HEARD: You brought yourself before the holy God. You petitioned for a friend.

VISION: I saw the word "Friend" balanced on a pair of balance scales.

HEARD: My friend for life. Wow. Humility.

ANOINTED HANDS: I opened the Bible and turned to the following scripture: "Be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other's faults because of your love. Always keep yourselves united in the Holy Spirit, and bind yourselves together with peace." Eph 4:2-3 NLT

ANOINTED HANDS: I opened one of the Words to Ponder books to this one:

STAY HUMBLE 10/24/95

A worm is about the only thing that can not fall down. The quickest way to be blessed is to stay humble.

"Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel." (Isa 41:14 KJV)

HEARD: Gathered together. Fragrant. That's the gift of faith. Arise! Fellowship union. Grafted in. Idiosyncrasies? Not this time. Founded. I will establish them. Simple faith. My joy. I assure you. Met your needs. All of them.

WORD TO PONDER: PETITION ME FOR FRIENDS 11/09/04

Dear heart, how humble you have become, laying low before Me! Yes, a worm is just about the only thing that can not fall, so fear not, oh worm Jacob, I will help you. I have heard your petitions to connect you with kindred-heart friends. I have placed your concerns and miserable failings upon My balance scales and am bringing justice to what you have lost. I will connect you and grant you the desires of your heart, dear one. Yes, life long and eternal friends. You will see with your own eyes what I have ordained for you. I will make heavenly arrangements, and set them in an orderly manner; yes, all that I have appointed and determined to set into your life. These are My good gifts, fragrant and pure, holy and true. I gladly give you the pure bonds of fellowship.

Always remember that even though you do not see Me, I AM your Friend. I will never, never leave you. I AM wholly yours, longing to abide in constant fellowship with you twenty four hours, day and night. I looked down upon My cross and all the way through history, I saw you, My Beloved. I heard your cries for friendship and I groaned for you and carried your pain. I took your wounds upon Myself so that you might be healed. I died so that you might receive pure and lasting friendship, never to feel abandoned again. Join with Me, My love, and join with those I have ordained for you. Rejoice!

Acts 2:42-43 NKJV

And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.

Eph 4:2-3 NLT

Be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other's faults because of your love. Always keep yourselves united in the Holy Spirit, and bind yourselves together with peace.
