RHEMA 12/25/12  THE GRACIOUS SHINING FACE OF JESUS

HEARD:  My child I have kept you. Safe from the wicked one. I'm not letting you go.  You have a right to know.  I am here to tell you the truth. Behind you.

VISION:  I saw Jesus! He was ground level, probably kneeling or sitting on the floor and ministering to someone.  His face was so beautifully glowing like olive skin that had been in the sun.  He had so much love in His face and it felt that He was ministering to a child.  I was standing above Him and I only got a view of His shoulders and head lilted and leaning forward as He was interacting. I could not see who He was ministering to.  The phrase bending low in kindness came to me.  Seeing Him made me SO homesick for Him.  His face and love that pours out of it is so profoundly beautiful. I long for Him! I hadn’t seen His radiating face since 2010.

As I was pondering this vision, I was praying over those who had fallen, not only children but adults who know better.  I was thinking about the great season of sifting between 2004-2011 and how the Lord took so many through the washing machines and were hung out to dry!  Ouch. 

HEARD:  Another chance. 

In the following word study, the Lord describes Who He is. In bending low in kindness, He was being GRACIOUS!

word study: let your goodness pass before me 10/06/07

FILL MY MOUTH PRAYER: "Lord let all Your goodness pass before me."  Without prethought, this simple one line prayer just suddenly popped into my mind and mouth; I knew it was the Holy Spirit.

TRANSLATION OF THE FOLLOWING HEBREW DEFINITIONS:

“The beauty of My goodness and all the joy that comes when it goes well with you, shall face you and cover you in intimacy. And I shall stoop low in kindness, showing favor for your petitions through My mercy and love.”

Ex 33:14-19 NKJV

And He said, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." Then he said to Him, "If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here. 16 For how then will it be known that Your people and I have found grace in Your sight, except You go with us? So we shall be separate, Your people and I, from all the people who are upon the face of the earth." 17 So the LORD said to Moses, "I will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by name."

And he said, "Please, show me Your glory." {3519} 19 Then He said, "I will make all My goodness {2898} pass {5674} before {6440} you, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before you. I will be gracious {2603} to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion {7355} on whom I will have compassion."

My beloved child, how I LONG to bless you!  How I LONG to pick you up and embrace you and comfort you!  I hear your wavering thoughts and worry over past mistakes. I know that during your time of discipline, you felt abandoned, yet you know I said I will never, ever abandon you.  Yes there are times of silence, so that you may have time to reflect, repent and return to Me.  I never forgot you for a moment, you are always in My thoughts and prayers.  You know I AM the God of another chance!  I have totally forgiven you and those places are washed clean in the book about your life.  I AM extending My love and graciousness into your life and you shall once again know how favored and accepted you are.  Be at peace dear one, come to Papa and let Me comfort you.

WORD TO PONDER: ARISE AND WASH YOUR FACE 6/23/07

Arise dear one, do not let the cares of the world put you into spiritual slumber. Shake off the spirit of apathy! Do not fall into the trappings of the flesh in perilous times. Do not allow yourself to go into the slumber of spiritual famine.

Flush out the pipes of your spiritual wells by praying in the Spirit, worship and study of My Word. Call out, press through and draw deeply from the spiritual well within. My living water shall rise, flush out your pipes and the freshness of My Spirit shall grant you pure water to wash your face. The more time you spend in My Presence, the more you shall shine in Me. Let Me kiss your sweet face and waken you to the gracious shining of My smile. How I long for you.

Song of Sol 7:9-13 NKJV

The wine goes down smoothly for my beloved, Moving gently the lips of sleepers. 10 I am my beloved’s, And his desire is toward me. 11 Come, my beloved, Let us go forth to the field; Let us lodge in the villages. 12 Let us get up early to the vineyards; Let us see if the vine has budded, Whether the grape blossoms are open, And the pomegranates are in bloom. There I will give you my love. The mandrakes give off a fragrance, And at our gates are pleasant fruits, All manner, new and old, Which I have laid up for you, my beloved.

Jonah 1:6 NKJV

So the captain came to him, and said to him, "What do you mean, sleeper? Arise, call on your God; perhaps your God will consider us, so that we may not perish."
