Be Courageous Be Bold Hebrews 4:16

Seeing, you have no sight

Hearing, without in-site…

Speaking, makes no sense

Touching, but not feeling…

For there is no light!

Living as if you’re alive…

Corpse that has not died…

Drawn to His Holy side…

His blood, gives life!

Hebrews 9:14-15 The Passion Translation

¹⁴ Yet how much more will the sacred blood of the Messiah thoroughly cleanse our consciences! For by the power of the eternal Spirit he has offered himself to God as the perfect^[a] Sacrifice that now frees^[b] us from our dead works^[c] to worship and serve the living God.

¹⁵ So Jesus is the One who has enacted a new covenant with a new relationship with God so that those who accept the invitation^[d] will receive the eternal inheritance he has promised to his heirs. For he died to release us from the guilt of the violations committed under the first covenant.

I turned to see a little bird, hopping in a tree, and as I was watching him, he was watching me…

What do you see little bird hopping up that tree?

Perhaps an unsuspecting bug, breakfast for thee.

Joy comes in many disguises sometimes we don’t see

While we are watching something, we are what they see…

A baby playing, a woman walking, a child singing with all his might…

The world is turning, children learning, to do and say what’s right…

Setting an example our lives will always be…

Shining in the darkness for many an eye to see.

What will they see when they look at me?

Complaining, criticizing, happy or honesty?

Am I someone they want around, or do they run from me?

Lessons from the little bird, hopping up a tree…

While I am seeing him, what does he see?

Ecclesiastes 10:19-20 The Message

¹⁹Laughter and bread go together, And wine gives sparkle to life— But it’s money that makes the world go around.

²⁰Don’t bad-mouth your leaders, not even under your breath, And don’t abuse your betters, even in the privacy of your home. Loose talk has a way of getting picked up and spread around. Little birds drop the crumbs of your gossip far and wide.

Beneath our Majestic, Father God, are wings of cherubim, they were created in heaven to worship Him…

And here we sit under the shadow of Shaddai, protected and loved, cared for with them…

We endure as the eagle passing the night on the high cliffs…

No fear of lions, or snakes, or dragons…they cannot touch us there…

For this is where, the Most High resides…

Soaring among angels and stars…Messiah, that’s where you are…

Leaving this worldly realm while body doth remain

Our souls are captivated and without restrain…we are safe in Jesus name!

Shaddai, God of the Mountain, God the Destroyer of Enemies, God the Self-Sufficient One, God the Nurturer of Babies, God the Almighty.

Give us this mountain!

For this mountain we claim!!

Hear the cries of angel armies and saints of Adonai… “We proclaim His domain!”

Your kingdom come; Your will be done, in earth as it is in heaven. Amen!

Your will be done in us, as we live under the shadow, of El Shaddai!

Inspired by Psalm 91

Matthew 6:9-13 King James Version

⁹ After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

¹⁰ Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

¹¹ Give us this day our daily bread.

¹² And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

¹³ And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

 

There are many Bible verses that talk about the cherubim:

Numbers 7:89

English Standard Version

⁸⁹ And when Moses went into the tent of meeting to speak with the Lord, he heard the voice speaking to him from above the mercy seat that was on the ark of the testimony, from between the two cherubim; and it spoke to him.

My precious child,

Do not be afraid, for I Am with you!

I Am with you and I Am in you.

I guide you and sustain you. I give your life purpose. It is not complicated. It is not a burden. Keep it simple, rest in me and let my love shine through you.

Love, not only in word. Love, in what you do, and how you live. Love the unlovable. Love the ones who can’t love you back. But please realize it is not your love or your power or your mind that is loving others. It is My Spirit of love, My Spirit of Power and My Mind that loves through you. Open yourself up to my Spirit. My Holy Spirit. He is more than tongues. He is more than a feeling. He is more than a symbol or an idea. He is more than wind, or a dove, or fire! He is more real than anything you can see, touch, feel, taste, sense, or know. He is supernatural. He comes by faith and works through faith and was sent by the Father of all creation. He loves with comfort and leading and being available when and wherever He is needed. He lives within you, to teach you, who, I Am and how to live your life pleasing to the Father.

He gives strength and hope. He brings peace and He revels in and explodes with Joy to the soul who is willing and receptive to His nudge. He’s subtle and will not go against your free will. He is powerful! When He is received in humility He is thrilled to work on your behalf. He loves a grateful heart. He responds to a heart of love. Because He is love.

In loving, you are loved.

Whatever you do~

Wherever you go~

Whoever you meet~

Let My Love be your first response. No judgement. No condemnation. That is how I love you.

Love, my love, cannot be counterfeited. It can’t be moved or destroyed. It can’t be manipulated or confused. My love can’t be bought or sold. It can’t be taken from you. My love is perfect. It is complete. It is me!

Let my love be your motivator.

My love in you will give you access to hearts that are cold and hardened. My love will open doors that were sealed shut. And where others have tried and failed, you will have my favor because my love melts hearts of stone. My love will take you beyond the barriers of racial indifference. It will tear down walls of hate and horror. My love will cover a multitude of sins, because, my love never fails. My love is authentic. My love risks everything and gives all with no regrets.

If there is one special gift, that I would give more than any other it is My Love, and in fact, I have already given it. It is free. All anyone has to do is open the gift and receive my gift of love.

My love is the message that has already been sent. My love is the answer that has already been given. My love is what will take you all the way home and will inspire others to follow.

I’ve given you my Spirit of Power, to overcome every obstacle.

I’ve given you My Love to conquer any demon, they can’t stay where my love abides.

And I’ve given you a Sound Mind! It is the mind of Christ. No moments of doubt, no fear to cloud your thoughts. The mind of Christ is whole, steadfast and mentally sane!

My love is holy, because; My father God, is Love!

Listen, do you hear that sound? It is my love-song to you carried on the wind straight to your heart! You can find the words to my love-song in the ancient book written with you in mind. I love you and I always will!

Love,

Yeshua.

Thank you Yeshua~

I love you Lord because you first loved me! Help me to love, the way you love! Amen!

John 3:16 The Passion Translation For this is how much God loved the world—he gave his one and only, unique Son as a gift.^[a] So now everyone who believes in him^[b] will never perish but experience everlasting life.

 Footnotes

 John 3:16 Or “God proved he loved the world by giving his Son.”

 John 3:16 Or “believe into him.” Salvation and regeneration must be by faith. True faith (Gr. pistis) has a number of components: acceptance, embracing something (someone) as truth, union with God and his Word, and an inner confidence that God alone is enough.

 John 13:34-35 The Passion Translation “So I give you now a new^[a] commandment: Love each other just as much as I have loved you. For when you demonstrate the same love, I have for you by loving one another, everyone will know that you’re my true followers.”

 Footnotes

 John 13:34 Jesus sets a new standard of love before his followers. Although the Old Testament does instruct us to love one another (Lev. 19:18, 34; Deut. 10:18), Jesus now gives the commandment to use his standard of love for us as the true measurement of love as we care for one another.

What now? Where can I go? Making mistakes, my spirit low…

What now? How can I bear this turbulent storm raging everywhere …?

Spiraling down, down, down, a pit so dark and deep, shadows haunt me on this abandoned street…

Who will save me? Oh, hear my plea….?

Help me God, I have need of thee!

Sinking in the raging sea, while in this storm, a hand I see…lifting me up, He cradles me, and holds me to His chest…

A roar so sweet I can hardly believe; His light is shining here on me…

I raise my eyes to His and see, the Prince of Peace, rescuing me…

“I Am the Prince of Peace, be still and know, you’re safe in loves-flow, it’s here you’ll find your rest.”

Haggard, hopeless and distressed, not seeing how I could ever bless or be blessed…

When in the thick of life’s awful mess…

The Prince of Peace brings nothing less…

Then, hope, love and peacefulness!

Isaiah 9:6 The Passion Translation

The Wonderful One A child has been born for us; a son has been given to us. The responsibility of complete dominion will rest on his shoulders, and his name will be: The Wonderful One! The Extraordinary Strategist! The Mighty God! The Father of Eternity! The Prince of Peace!

This poem is dedicated to my precious granddaughter, Olivia and to all the teenagers struggling to find their way in the world.

You are loved beyond measure and treasured more than you know. The Prince of Peace is with you. Call to him and he will answer! “Peace, be still!”

Hanging next to a man on the cross they called, “King of the Jews.”

On the other side is one just like me, a thief, a liar, what life did we choose?

I was a lad in Jerusalem, poor, and alone, running the streets…a beggar, I would not be…

I chose to be a thief…

A loaf of bread was my first crime, chased by soldiers I hid and over time, I stole to stay alive…

Once upon a mountain-top, I stopped to hear this man…the things he said pierced through me, they were things I’d never heard…I paused and for an instant I almost believed his words.

“I Am the bread of life; come and follow me. I’ll give you eternal life, I will set you free.”

For a moment, I stopped and thought what it would mean to be set free.

No more stealing. No more endless nights of running and worry of being caught.

No more hanging out with low-life; we were thieves, robbers, deceitful men of prey.

Now, here I am at my final destination to die upon a tree. I’m thirsty. I’m afraid. And the thief beside me, rails upon this one they call, King of the Jews.

“Quiet,” I scream. “Do you not fear God? This man has done nothing wrong to be crucified like this.”

Straining, I turn my head so that I can see, the holy man hanging next to me…

Weeping, my voice cracks as I struggle to speak…

“Remember… me… when you come into your Kingdom!”

With a voice kinder than I’d ever known, he spoke these words to me, “This day you will be with me in Paradise.”

As he speaks, I recognize his voice, he’s the man from the mountain-top who could grant eternal life…

And with His great sacrifice…I realize he is Yeshua, King of the Jews!

I lived an ungodly life I can never change what I did…but with just one statement, with no ill intent…I am granted pardon into Paradise…

Don’t choose a life of lawlessness, there’s always a better choice…

Listen to the man on the mountain-top open your heart and hear his voice…

“Come, follow me, I Am the way to Eternity.”

Luke 23:39-43 Revised Geneva Translation

And one of the criminals who were hanged, railed at Him, saying, “If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us!”

But the other answered, and rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, seeing you are in the same condemnation?

“We are indeed here righteously! For we receive things worthy of what we have done. But this Man has done nothing wrong!”

And he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your Kingdom.”

Then Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.”

I think most of you know my stand when it comes to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. If you don’t know let me tell you I’m All about Him!! With that being said I’ve gotten messages I believe to be from the Lord in the past but this one is pretty hard to deliver. Because it is straight from the heart! At any rate I believe I’m to share it! Not to cause fear, but, so that, we as the children of God will pray like our house is on fire!! Because it is!

So, I just talked plainly and simply to my best friend…Jesus, (Hebrew name Yeshua) and this is what I received…

“Thank you for just simply talking to me from your heart. You’re right I never wanted this…what’s happening in America. I am mindful of all that’s happening and it makes me sad that my children can’t get along. The enemy has entered a door that’s been opened because of lies and corruption. It is a spiritual war~ and has always been…

Men, and women both, want their own agendas…power, fear, lies, and unforgiveness have opened them up for attack more so than ever before! Satan knows his time is short and he’s playing everyone against each other.

There are intense wars in the heavenlies. My warriors are fighting with the powers of darkness even as I speak with you.

Time is short~

There’s a shifting going on in the earth and in the heavenly places…

The battle is for souls~

This is nothing new…but it is increasing in this generation~

So, child, prayer is of the essence.

Remember who you are and whose you are. Remember I have given you My Spirit and My weapons to help you in this fight. And it is a fight!

Know this, it is not going to get easier, so, prepare for the battle!

Praise, Worship, Prayer, Fasting, Surrendering of wills to the will of the Father is the only way to overcome! This is the beginning of great sorrows in the earth!

Everything is changing but, in the end, there will be victory. Of course, there will be victories along the way. But the battle is raging. Stay the course. Walk in, and by, faith.

Do not be afraid and do not look at the battlefield. Keep your eyes fixed on me. I Am with you!

Encourage one another by using My Word and My Spirit.

Be brave! Be holy! Walk in my righteousness and not in self-righteousness.

I am your Shalom~

The world has no peace because they seek the natural realm. They run hard after worldly gain but this world will not last…

Those who are mine will show my love. Do not be deceived and do not deceive. Truth always wins…over lies!

All will be revealed in the appointed time!

Do not seek the answer…seek me and you will find all that is needed to live in this world. You are in the world but you are not of the world. Walk as children of light.

They will know you by my love!

~Yeshua

Your weaponry is found in Ephesians 6:10-18

~Marla Shaw O’Neill January 26, 2021

There was darkness upon the face of the deep…then the Spirit of God moved…

The Spirit of God moves, and darkness must bow

He speaks, and the elements obey him…

He walks, and the path is illuminated, for He is omnipresent, all-present.

His essence is light…

He fills the earth with light and it is good…

Have you not understood?

How can you believe if you’re in darkness? How can you see if you’re blind?

God moves and His light penetrates the darkest of nights…

God-Light brings life, hope, and joy into the chaos of our darkest despair…

God-Light overcomes sickness and depression…

God-Light overcomes wars and hate

God-Light builds, it doesn’t kill, steal or destroy…

Turn the light on, and let God move…

“Let there be light!”

~Marla Shaw O’Neill, January 25, 2021

Genesis 1:1-4 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

² And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

³ And God said, “Let there be light: and there was light.”

⁴ And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

My soul adores you

My eyes are full of your glory

My ears hear your still, small, voice, “Walk this way…”

My heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord, the God of my salvation…

My tongue speaks your word and I am healed…

My tears fall, like salt upon a wound.

They are precious jewels preserved within your bottle.

They are poured out in your presence as a sweet savor and you wipe them with your love…

My body is where your Spirit dwells; all that is within me magnifies your Name…

I am not alone…

I am whole…

I am immovable and steadfast…knowing you hold me in your hand…I will not be moved…

My feet walk in your foot-prints, I am guided and protected

The fowler cannot overtake me…snares cannot hold me…ten-thousand-enemy-beings cannot devour me…for I am yours…

Humble and contrite of spirit…this, you love…

My arms extend into the heavens, and storms cease because you hold me up…

I bow my head in your presence and you lift my face to yours…radiant with your light.

You are God…your unmerited favor rests upon me because of your Son and His shed blood…

It washes me and I am clean…

Thank you! Thank you!

My heart-song is, Great is the Lord, for His mercy endures forever!

Let All that is within me, bless your Holy Name! Amen!

When I lie down you cover me with your feathers and I am safe in your shelter…

No evil can come near me, for I am in the shelter of the Almighty!

My hiding place, the secret place, the place where we abide always!!

You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in Your word.
