Rare Beauty
“There is one whom My heart beats for. She is devastating in beauty and rare in this world. She is one who has said yes to me in every area of her life.
She has said, “Take over LORD, You know best. I am nothing without You. Take my heart. Take my mind, perfect my will, that I can be and do all you want me to be and do.”
Who doesn’t want a bride like this? I can see the heart in you My Bride. I see the heart that says yes and leaps to obey and to say have Your way.
Thus I have made My Plans for those who are of this Bride, even if their flesh is resistant, even if their circumstances seem dim, because they have said yes to Me.
I will say YES to them when they call. I will do whatever their heart desires that is in line with My Will.
I will provide for them abundantly out of My Storehouses. The wealth that belonged to others will be brought them.
For when they were sick, when they were weak, they thought of others besides themselves. They gave out of their weakness and were not selfish with whatever they had.
I will restore their families. I will restore their lost ones. I will restore gifts in them to make them shine like the stars in the heavens.
They will hear My Voice behind them saying, “This is the way, walk in it.”
They will ride on the high hills of the earth. They will restore the lame and sick and tormented, because I can trust them to say yes to My will in their lives.
Their families will be blessed. Their health will be blessed and they will be restored.
They have not wanted to stay in judgmentalism and criticism, but have tried to keep themselves from strife and condemnation of others. THIS is My Bride.
These are those for whom I will do anything. They consider the poor and they do not judge them or resent them. They have My COMPASSION, and they walk in LOVE.
They go through persecution and affliction without complaining. In the midst of pain and hurt, they turn to ME and WORSHIP ME!
They refuse to be counted with the ungrateful. They are thankful for all I have done, or allowed without resenting Me.
They are now coming forth as GOLD and they will be wrought like gold and in the fire, they will GLOW!
They will radiate My beauty. I will give them a coat of many colors to wear and they will be given the scepter of authority.
The crown upon their heads will be gold, fitted with precious jewels, for they are such to Me rare and precious jewels.”
“When He works on the left hand, I cannot behold Him; When He turns to the right hand, I cannot see Him. But He knows the way that I take; When He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.” Job 23:9-10 NKJV.
“Though you lie down among the sheepfolds, You will be like the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.” Psalm 68:13 NKJV.
“You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness more than Your companions. All Your garments are scented with myrrh and!aloes and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, by which they have made You glad. Kings’ daughters are among Your honorable women; at Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir. Listen, O daughter, Consider and incline your ear; forget your own people also, and your father’s house; so the King will greatly desire your beauty; because He is your Lord, worship Him. And the daughter of Tyre will come with a gift; the rich among the people will seek your favor. The royal daughter is all glorious within the palace; Her clothing is woven with gold. She shall be brought to the King in robes of many colors; the virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to You.
With gladness and rejoicing they shall be brought; they shall enter the King’s palace. Instead of Your fathers shall be Your sons, Whom You shall make princes in all the earth. I will make Your name to be remembered in all generations; therefore the people shall praise You forever and ever.” Psalm 45:7-17 NKJV.
“They shall be Mine,” says The LORD of Hosts, “On the day that I make them My jewels. And I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him.” Then you shall again discern between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him.” Malachi 3:17-18 NKJV.
“But to you who fear My name the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings; And you shall go out and grow fat like stall-fed calves. You shall trample the wicked, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day that I do this,” Says The LORD of Hosts.” Malachi 4:2-3 NKJV.

Yes!
Encouraging
Obedience the only way
Never thought of My Obedience to HIM
in this way
Like an Illusive Obvious
I just only always want to obey HIM
this is very good and full
God who sees me as I am.
The fear of the Lord (reverence) may be pushing people away from the Lord, when it should be drawing people to Him. More than this His other features, such as faithfulness, should be drawing people to Him. Will people run away in fear from the Lion of the tribe of Judah? He is powerful, but He protects people with His power. WORD OF WISDOM: If people couldn’t see His power, How would they know that He can protect the sheep from the wolf packs? He is faithful
Words cannot describe the beauty of this Word. It is absolutely lovely. Glory to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords the almighty!!!
