Words From Jesus: July 31, 2007

Though I open My arms and call all to come--to yield themselves to Me and let Me fill them with My love, My happiness, My anointing, My fulfillment, and My strength--very few choose to come and give their all to Me.


But, oh, if you only knew! If you could only see what I long to give to you. How I long to hold and to comfort, to fulfill your every desire, to make your heart burst with joy, overflowing with My love to pour out on others. In this is true happiness and true fulfillment.

Words From Jesus: July 30, 2007

The joy of the Lord is your strength! It is My will that you find great joy and great pleasure in serving Me and loving Me. It makes Me happy when I see you enjoying yourself, when I see you happy and laughing. I love to see you laugh. I love to see you happy. So be happy and enjoy yourself and enjoy life. Enjoy your meals, enjoy your house, enjoy your recreation, enjoy your work, enjoy your times together. For in enjoying these, you are enjoying Me.  I love to see you happy. So be happy. Don't be afraid to laugh and enjoy yourself.

Words From Jesus: July 29, 2007

The feelings and emotions you experience are a direct result of the choices you make, the thoughts you choose to think, the times you choose to be unselfish, the times you put yourself in another person's place and allow your heart to be broken and moved with compassion and love.


Feelings of love, unity and happiness are My rewards. They are given to you according to your choices and your decisions--how you have determined by your own free will to act and give and respond and sacrifice and understand.

Words From Jesus: July 28, 2007

When men's hearts are empty, they are unhappy and unfulfilled; they desire to be happy and to satisfy the hunger that they have. They look around and they see that which is appealing in the world, and they try to fill their vacuum. But what they do not see or understand, is that in order to receive the full benefit of My promises, they must fulfill their part.


This is not easy for some, for they think they will find no happiness in laying down their lives in sacrifice or in surrendering their all to Me. They do not see how that could make them any happier or fill the vacuum that they have in their heart.


But those who give their all in love for Me and yieldedness to My Spirit--laying down their lives in unselfishness--experience the true joys and ecstasies of My Spirit, which are beyond comparison with anything in this world. This satisfies the heart like nothing else can. It fills the need and satisfies the hunger. But the only way this comes is through full surrender and yieldedness unto Me.

Words From Jesus: July 27, 2007

The joy of the Lord is your strength. How do you get this joy? It's actually very simple: Love Me with all your heart, with all your mind, with all your strength, and also remember to love others.  Don't worry about what others may think or their opinions. Just do the loving thing and the humble thing.  In fact, people will love and respect you more for that.


Remember to show outgoing love and concern for others, and I will fill you with My joy, My peace, and My happiness.

Words From Jesus: July 26, 2007

The happiness of the spirit is far above the happiness of the flesh, for the happiness of the spirit is something you will always have with you. It is something that will never end. The loneliest nights or the darkest clouds can't take it away from you.


The happiness of the flesh is temporal and a fleeting feeling.--It comes and goes with your mood, with your surroundings, with the physical things that you see, touch and feel. But the happiness of the spirit comes from knowing that I am your Savior, and that I care.


The happiness that I give is as constant as the sun. When the sun sets at night and disappears beneath the horizon, do you worry that it has left forever? Do you say to another, "There is no more sun in our lives"? No, it is constant, always there. Though the night comes and you cannot see it, you never doubt its existence, nor that it will rise the next morning. So is the happiness of spirit--though ever-present, the night comes and you lose sight of it. That is the time to trust and rest until morning, until it comes into sight again.

Words From Jesus: July 25, 2007

I am the Creator of all things, and I judge the heart of man. I know the heart of man and all that is therein, so My judgment is just and true.  At the Day of Judgment when you stand before Me and your life is reviewed, I shall judge by the act and by the intent of the heart, thus I judge righteous judgment. For I know the heart of man and there is nothing hid from Me.


When you seek to do a thing, know that I see and understand the thoughts and intents of your heart. So in all that you do, be motivated by love--My love, love for one another and love for Me.

Words From Jesus: July 24, 2007

There are many hindrances to love, but I will show you how to break down the hindrances.  I will show you how to remove the obstacles, and I will help you to be a vessel of My love.


First you must let Me fill you up. A vessel that is moving cannot be filled; you must be still. You must provide the time for Me to fill you. You must be an empty vessel with open mouth, still and waiting for Me to fill you up.


Do you think you can pour love out of yourself? You will find very soon that your own love will be found wanting. As you rub one against another, the idiosyncrasies and the quirks of another will frustrate you and you will say, "Where is this great love that I am supposed to have?"  You cannot do it by yourself, for even the little things will irk you. But you can do it in My power.  As you fill up on Me and My glorious love, you will have more than enough, and this love will pour out on everyone you meet.


As you spend time with Me, you will go forth from your chamber with My love shining on your face! Those who see you will know that it is not of you, but it is of Me. For this does not come from your own might or your own power or your own habits or your own knowing how to love. As you retire into your chamber and spend time with Me, I will teach you to love.

Words From Jesus: July 23, 2007

There are two ways: the way of resistance, or the way of yieldedness. The way of yieldedness is the easy way. For as the two goats meet on the narrow mountain path, and the one lies down and lets the other walk over him, this is the way I would like for you to be. Otherwise there is only confrontation and the butting of heads. It is so much easier just to lie down and let the other pass over you. Let it pass, I say, let it pass.


Things could be much easier if you would yield--not only yield to Me, but to others, esteeming others better than yourself. You must learn this basic humility, simplicity and love; then I can use the gifts that I have bestowed upon you.


Strive to be humble. Strive to be loving. Fight for kindness and understanding, for these are great jewels that you can wear, which will bring forth the true beauty of God. Seek to be simple, to be loving, to be gentle. It is there, I know, for I know your heart well. I know that in the wellsprings of your heart these desires to be loving, to be humble and sweet and kind, long-suffering and understanding are there. But they can only be released from your heart as you shed your pride and selfishness.
