Focus on the Cross and know that I love you
– and then you will see!

On my way to the ophthalmologist today, I began to see hearts everywhere in the clouds. The sun was beautiful shining through the clouds. I knew that God was saying something to me today. The first cloud that I saw when I walked out my door while waiting on my Mom and Dad to pick me up, was a bit gray but it was shaped like a heart with a butterfly in it. Then, as we drove down the highway, I began to see more light, then more hearts, as if God was showing me that He loved me and that He paints really good word pictures in the sky, just to talk to little ole’ me! HE WANTED ME TO KNOW THAT HE LOVED ME IN SPITE OF THE REPORT THAT HE KNEW THAT I WOULD RECEIVE TODAY! AND HE WANTS YOU TO KNOW THAT TOO!

THE GOOD REPORT WILL TRUMP THE BAD REPORT!

When I first went into the doctor He came in and told me that, ” If I cough or sneeze too hard right now, that I could burst this large vein in my eye and blood would fill my eyes and I would be instantly blind.” He said “You are a Train Wreck going down hill quickly with your eyesight.” I thought to myself , “Well, THAT IS HIS REPORT BUT I HAVE ANOTHER REPORT FROM THE GREAT PHYSICIAN!!”

FOCUS ON THE CROSS!

Then he took me back to do some testing after shooting me up with some kind of vegetable dye! She told me to look at the star, but it didn’t look like a star, it looked like a cross and suddenly the cross looked like it had blood running down it… It was beautiful! Then God spoke to me and said “FOCUS ON THE CROSS!”

Oh glory to God!! He said, “There are many who have heard their worst report that they have ever heard, there are many hopeless situations but focus on the cross because that is My report!”

THE PRICE WAS PAID!

In our seemingly hopeless situations, we have hope! Yes, God wants you to know today that if you will focus on the cross that he bore for all of us that you will make it through! That heart of love that He has for you is shining through all of the dark clouds that are hovering around you, and because of His love, He gave us Jesus who died for us and by whose stripes we are healed! Yes, “FOCUS ON THE CROSS!” FOCUS ON THE BLOOD! He paid a dear price for our healing! He loves you with an everlasting love!

IT IS TIME TO SEE WITH YOUR SECOND SET OF EYES

Below is just one picture that god painted in the sky just for me today. But there were many. He speaks to me like that, because I am a seer prophetically, speaking, and pictures are what I receive messages from Him through many times, whether they are in dreams, visions or from the natural realm.

It does not matter to me anymore if people think I am crazy for believing that because He has proven it to me too many times! God loves our childlike faith and He delights in showing us things like that. If you do not want that in your life then you probably will never understand Him, but He is speaking to many of you too.

He wants you too SEE WITH YOUR SECOND SET OF EYES, but “unless you become as a little child you can not enter the Kingdom!” That does not mean that you won’t go to heaven but it does mean that you won’t experience it or see it ere on earth. He wants you to see through the eyes of your Spirit first and foremost AND THE WAY THAT HAS TO HAPPEN IS THAT YOU MUST FIRST AND FOREMOST “FOCUS ON THE CROSS!”

BUT WE SEE JESUS

“But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage,” Hebrews 2:9-15.
