    “You are my son, today I have begotten you. Ask it of me, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance, and, as your possession, the ends of the earth. With an iron rod you will shepherd them, like a potter’s vessel you will shatter them.”

    “To the victor, who keeps to my ways until the end, I will give authority over the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod - And to him I will give the morning star. ”

    “ If we endure, we will rule with Him “

    It is not just doing God’s Will in the ordinary sense, it is living in it, something we can only desire, and only God can give.

    Allowing God’s Will to take over fully, seems strange to us, but it was the state of man in Eden, it is what we are created for.

    The Iron Rod is The Divine Will, it transforms the earth.

    The effects, riches, happiness and joys of living in The Divine Will is Heaven coming to Earth.

    When Jesus does His work through us, that work has Eternal light and transforming effects, it has the glow of Eden on it.

    Even the mundane jobs He does, there is something very different about them. They have His imprint on them. I know I did not do it, it is Jesus who did it.
    You see it briefly like Jesus is inspecting His own work, then you get directed to the next task. He always seems to stop to see if everything is good. That’s when you get a glimpse of His perfection.

    There is a peace and order as this happens that is not of human volition. Living in His Will and by His timing and direction, changes everything.

    Be patient with yourself, don’t beat yourself up if you find yourself doing your own will again. Once you recognise it, stop and do handover again. It is enduring in constant returning to living in His Will that will bring about the permanent state.
    Trust Jesus more and more, because you aren’t doing things or living by force of your own will anymore and it can sometimes feel very scary, but let go of your will, let Jesus fully takeover.

    You need great desire, trust and courage but also the conviction that your human will is dangerous, the source of all the sin and suffering in your life.
    You need to desire to be rid of your will as much as you desire His Will to Reign in you.

    You will not lose your personality and character, but it will be absorbed into Jesus Character.

    “ It is no longer I that lives, but Christ who lives in me “

    Jesus does the check measure of all the work done. Only then do you get given the next task.
    Each task is a row of the vineyard, whether short in the heights or long in the valley, a task is first handed over to Jesus, it’s done when He is done with it. You don’t move on till He is happy with it.

    Thank Jesus all the time, because you could be doing stupid things that are worth nothing in this limited time we have.
    With Jesus every small duty has significance for The Kingdom, Everything.

    Jesus is Everything when it comes to doing anything and He covers for all the things you neglected as well.

    We try to do things right in our normal way, but our best is nothing compared to Jesus way, nothing, nothing, nothing.

    “ Without me, you can do nothing “ believe it.

    Jesus is the difference between nothing and fantastic.

    His judgement is perfect, His timing is perfect, His Love is perfect, His Understanding and Wisdom is Perfect.

    Be a generous believer! Not just doing enough to be saved by accepting Him, but allow Him to so possess you as to be another Him on Earth to speak and heal to His suffering sheep.
    Those sheep know His Holy Loving Voice, even if you look like a complete fool, Jesus will speak to them and heal them body and soul.

    We think physical healings are the greatest miracle. No. The hurts of our souls being healed are His greatest miracles.

    I saw many miracles of the soul that Jesus did, and nothing compares to them.

    Do not be afraid of where you are sent. Do not be afraid of who is sent to you.

    In all things, Jesus.

    Holy, Holy, Holy is God Most High. His Love is beyond all things.

    Jesus makes all the good things stay and all the bad things go away.

    Trust Jesus even in the darkest most painful times.

    Jesus is telling you from the Cross to trust Him.

    You don’t see His Glory now, but soon you will see Him as He Is.

    Outside of Jesus massive attacks of Hell are here and more are coming in greater waves, rocking and breaching each believers boat.
    Playing on each man’s vices like a guitar, hitting the pure notes that appeal to the darkness in each man’s soul. Jesus will calm the waters raging in your soul.

    Put on the armour brothers, remember Jesus Word, remember His Love and promises that can never fail.

    Feel weak do you, feel tired, feel powerless, good. It’s in our weakness that you get see where Jesus totally shines, this is when Jesus demonstrates His power to teach you something fundamental, so very very important.

    “ Without me, you can do NOTHING “

    Tired of yourself are you? That heavy yoke of being you all the time, imposing your will on everything.

    “ Learn from Me, for I am meek and humble of heart “

    Examine yourselves in the evening, it’s called the examination of conscience.You may have been short with someone today and not given them your fullest attention. ( That’s unlike Jesus, He gives everyone His fullest attention )You might have thought ill of people for disturbing you when you were concentrating on something else.
    ( Jesus doesn’t get annoyed like we get annoyed )
    Jesus will put down His chisel, hang up His apron and sit down and look you right in the face with a beautiful genuine Love and smile. He is Love full time and every time.

    Our maddening tempo, goal and outcome driven lives are so far removed from His kind of Living as to be almost completely alien. We miss the entire point of why we are here. We are here to Love in a Joyful Peace as Jesus wanted from the beginning.

    There is always time to Love, because Love is Eternal. Love is Everything, Love is Our God. Jesus is Love.

    We are mad wild creatures seeking out every kind of thing. Wild horses galloping at will in any direction in an endless plain of possibilities. We don’t know how to live the best life. We live from passion to passion and routine to routine, but with Jesus all things are new but in the familiarity of His Love.

    Jesus leads us to Peace, He is The Prince of Peace. Only Jesus can tame us.

    There are people in our lives that Jesus did not intend to be in our lives, people who by our own choice and weakness are damaging our lives and mission.

    Ask Jesus sincerely to keep those in your life that are meant to be in your life, and those that are not meant to be in your life to be removed.

    Watch. Watch as they remove themselves the very next day, seemingly by their own declaration. It will not be by your own will or word from your mouth that a separation is made. Jesus will do it, He will cut them from your company.

    Do not look back at what The Lord Jesus separates you from. Go, without word when it happens, volunteer no contact after. Go, and not look back, this will be The Lord’s doing, treat it as a sacred loving mercy done for you in His omnipotence. His Will is Holy Ground Pure and Perfect.

    Jesus is beautiful, He wants so much for you, The Eternal things, the important things that raise your heart and mind, all of it He wants for you, to the full.

    Jesus Name is above all other names, just call on Him by name and He treats everything you ask very seriously because His Love is Eternal Holy Fire. Love and Trust Jesus with everything pressing on you.
    Trust in the quite time of prayer/talking to Jesus that He hears and treats everything you say very seriously.

    Jesus Love is the Ever Now, you can not be parted from it, you are always held in existence by it, just realise it.

    There are things we can not understand. This is where Jesus is telling us to trust Him.
    Stop all activity and rest with Jesus. We can jump to so many stupid conclusions and start kicking and biting against Jesus voice with so many other voices prodding at us.

    Jesus tempo is not the world’s tempo.

    If you find yourself driven, it is not Jesus whipping you on.

    Only in calm is Jesus voice clearly heard, only in calm is His direction taken.

    Ask Jesus to calm the waters of your soul, to bring His Order and direction to your heart.

    Jesus wants your heart and to entrust you with His own.

    Ask for docility, docility to feel and know Jesus Love first and then docility to respond to His correction.

    Jesus sees and knows everything ahead of us, He will lead you through.

    Stay calm and trust Jesus.
