Word from the Lord: "My Comfort & Care"


My Comfort & Care


"I will never leave you. 
I will never leave you in want.
Your needs will always be met at the perfect time.
My Love and Care will cover you are a fine mist...
As a lovely frost covering a precious tree.

You will never find Me far from your cry...
For I answer even before you speak out to ask.

Blessings from My open hands are falling all around you...
Every second of your life.
Focus only on Me and My Love for you..
In this is found abundant life and all joys.

There are still wondrous things for you to see...
Wondrous things for you to know...
Wondrous things to enjoy.

Know now in your heart that I will be your everything
And you will find nothing lacking in your life."

Word for the Body of Christ: "I READ YOUR TEARS"



I READ YOUR TEARS


"I read your tears...
I hear your words.
I see your works.
I know your heart.
But I also read your tears...

I know everything about you...
From before you were conceived, I knew you.
I planned your life now and forever with Me.
I knew the struggles before they came...
I read your tears...

My Word declares My Faithfulness.
My Spirit has never left you alone.
Your hopes and dreams are all recorded.
Your struggles are never battled alone.
I read your tears...

Faith is growing but must be fed...
Only My Word and staying near to Me
Shall cause Faith to grow and bloom.
Nothing can defeat you as I am embraced.
I read your tears...

Higher and Higher...Stronger and Stronger
Faith shall cause all to come to a harvest.
Spending time in your thoughts with Me
Shall bring sweet Fellowship together...
I read your tears...

Come boldly, come freely, come rejoicing!
There is nothing to hold you back...
There is no defeat in My Care.
There is no power stronger than My Love
I read your tears... Come, you are so welcome with Me!"

From the Heart: Real Believers in Christ




"Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him." Job 15:13
"Without faith, it is impossible to please Him (God)..." Hebrews 11:6
"He who has seen Me has seen the Father." John 14:9

When we first become Born-Again as Believers in Christ...Jesus as our Savior and Lord...it seems easy to believe, receive and rejoice! We are like new born calves let out of the stalls onto a vast meadow to romp and play each day in the light of our New Life in Christ.

Then comes the time when God must test our faith, to teach and educate our faith. This must happen and it does occur in the life of every Believer. The Father is not harsh or unkind, but He is so astounding in His works, it takes maturing all of our lives in the Faith Walk with Jesus the Word and the Holy Spirit.

As sinful humans born in a fallen world, we must come to learn the many facets of the spiritual realm and who we are as the New Blood Covenant children of God in Christ. Romans 8:28 is a key to this mysterious classroom called life. As we trust our Abba Father to love and care for us, He allows many things to "challenge" our faith...our trust in and of Him.

Faith is a fight! Faith is a battle! There are enemies to our faith in God. This is why we are given the very Armor of Almighty God in Ephesians 6 to "put on"...this is "supernatural prayer armor" and made of "Light." All the various pieces of this armor as written about and described by the Apostle Paul, inspired by the Holy Spirit, was from the Roman battle costume but also fits very well with all other armor in the past centuries even to our modern armies.

So what do we do with this New Life in Christ? How can we take steady giant steps in our faith building upon a solid foundation of faith? My passion as a Christian minister over 30 years and Believer for over 64 years since childhood, has been to know GOD and to teach, guide and lift the Body of Christ to a higher degree of knowing and loving God.

Many Christians just want to play here on the earth but go to Heaven. This life is like a casino game each day! They really don't hate the world and the dull tinsel too much, but they also do not want the "other shoe" to fall or miss out on a Heavenly Eternity. What a Terrible Life!

We are warned about this type of "heart path" and must take time to examine ourselves to see if we are truly "in the faith" as the Bible directs. Playing religious "do good" games with God is dangerous. He has warned about the "great falling away and the lukewarm Christians" being vomited from the mouth of Christ!

Many are called and few are chosen! Wide is the road to destruction and narrow "the Way" to eternal life. I am constantly praying and prodding Believers to get totally serious about their Faith each day! To truly learn how to adore and serve Almighty God as HE desires and has created each Believer to live and give as His holy and royal priesthood! To be caught up with the Holy Spirit and the Fire of God!

What rewards shall be waiting for you from the works of obedient service to God?
How important is Almighty God in your life?
What supernatural signs are following you as a Believer and listed in the New Testament?
How much are emotional "feelings" than true supernatural faith in your life?
What will be your "legacy" as a Believer and disciple of Jesus?
Are the Word of God and the Holy Spirit the true guiding spiritual power in your life... or are you running on highs and lows and "religious experiences with dreams, visions, convention meetings and words from others"?

Everything is not of GOD. Not everything should be shared with others. Many things will not stand the Fire of the Holy Spirit. We must be mature and discern what is "frothy, fluffy and even fleshy." Get past the "feel good, candy coated, warm and fuzzy" level of walking with God.

Does your life reflect the faith needed in a prison or battlefield?
How much Word do you truly know and believe if in a life and death matter?

Millions of Christians are waiting for the "Rapture" to "get out of here" before the "mess of the tribulation begins"......with no real serious thought of what they are to do with their lives as servants in the Body of Christ NOW... by spending time with the Holy Spirit and in the Word of God. Many have become "feel good" Christians who could never lead anyone to Jesus Christ and then teach that new Believer how to become a disciple, cast out demons, lay hands on the sick to recover, work miracles, etc... Or know how to pray with explosive power in their common language OR in tongues (the spiritual languages of the Holy Spirit)

Beloved Believers...as Jesus, His Disciples... and Paul and the others prayed and exhorted so often...take your eternity seriously!
The Cross of Christ is not an "insurance policy!" It cost GOD everything! We owe Him ALL of our LIVES, TIME, TALENTS, TREASURES, TESTIMONIES.

He is Creator and as His creatures...we have no right to ourselves...and in that we can honor Him with our very breath and willpower surrendered at His Throne. This is the key to an Abundant Life from Christ that shall count all through Eternity for His Glory!

Take time to Seek First (His Kingdom, His Rule in your life) and His Righteousness (being right and pure before Him) in Christ. Matthew 6:33
All things shall begin to fall into Divine Order!

KNOW GOD and ENJOY HIM FOREVER!


BECOME ONE WITH THE FATHER!


NOW IS THE DAY OF SALVATION!


NOW IS THE TIME TO COMMIT & OBEY!

With love in Christ...Gerri Merrick

Word for the Body of Christ: "MY SWEEPING LOVE"



MY SWEEPING LOVE


"All through My Word, I have said I AM Love.
The Endless Love you can never earn or even deserve.
Bought by the Priceless Blood of the Lamb...covered in Love.
Now you have the Holy Spirit and Word to guide and direct you.
No one who walks a different way or path shall walk in My Love...

My Sweeping Love...the power that sweeps away all of the sin and darkness from your life, 
Your soul, your very being...as you choose Me.
Sweeping away all fear, all dread and all defeat.
Nothing is greater than My Sweeping Love in your life!
As mighty waves of constant power and strength...
Rely upon My Sweeping Love! No evil or darkness can withstand this Love...
For I bring My Sweeping Love into each place.
I rush to the aid of any who call upon Me and draw near.
My Sweeping Love shall never fail to be there for every need.
My Sweeping Love fills your every tear and heart cry.

The sound of the rushing mighty wind...
Rushing with the Holy Spirit to My New Believers....
Was the sound of My Sweeping Love...All of Creation shall
Rejoice at the sound of My Sweeping Love in My Church.
Walk and live in Love...release My Sweeping Love upon the earth."

Prophecy: "My Terms ~ My Times ~ My Tests"



MY TERMS ~ MY TIMES ~ MY TESTS

"Man will seek to find ME in many paths, methods and ideas far and apart from ME.

They are the foolish ones on the earth. They are the ones who have the vain imaginations.

I AM the one who has set MY TERMS.

COME TO  ME ON  MY TERMS...MY WAY...MY WILL...MY WORD

Man can never know ME apart from the WORD of MY POWER.


CREATION  PROVES  I AM!

MY WORD REVEALS  MY HEART...MY WILL

SEEK TO KNOW ME ON  MY TERMS


Time was created for man,  for the animals and for the seasons.

Your days are but a vapor in eternity.

MY TIMES are not the same as the times of man.

REST AND STAY PATIENT IN  MY TIMES

TRUST  MY LOVE IN MY TIMES


Life is filled with tests...but only I WILL BRING YOU THROUGH THE TESTS.

FAITH IS REVEALED IN THE TESTS.

COME TO ME IN  MY TESTS...SURRENDER YOUR LIFE TO ME IN MY TESTS


LIVE IN HARMONY WITH  MY TERMS...BE FILLED WITH  MY JOY

BE AT PEACE IN MY TIMES...ALL IS IN MY CONTROL

REST IN  MY TESTS...TRUST IN MY LOVE"
