April 3

 

Today is a genuinely solemn day. A day of quiet respect for the LORD, as he was fighting a spiritual battle for our souls while his body lay dead in the tomb. But, not for long, tomorrow is coming.

Jesus is LORD. If you don’t believe he is by now, then your heart is hardened by unbelief. There is enough evidence to prove that he is who he says he is, and if you still don’t believe, then you probably desire to stay in your sin; your heart is like a rock and unmovable. Hell is real; turn away from your unbelief today and ask Jesus to help you if you can muster up the courage to utter the words. 

So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid. So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there. John 19:40-42

I posted a video to my Facebook profile earlier this morning that helps make sense of Good Friday and what happened on that great day, and you must watch it. If Facebook puts a target on it, please message me, and I will send you the link. It is not political; it is about Jesus and an interesting archaeological find that gives us concrete proof that everything you’ve heard about him is true. Watch it to the end because there is an incredible revelation during the conclusion that can verify that Jesus is who he says he is and is still alive. We, his followers, know these things are true because we have faith and trust in the Word of God, our Bible, but imagine having it verified! Today is not a good day; it is a GREAT day. This news gives us more conclusive evidence that Jesus is our Lord and Savior. 

I saw this video posted on a site that’s not censored last night, but didn’t watch it, and this morning, the Holy Spirit wouldn’t let me go any further in my study until I saw it. It is significant; other videos confirm the information revealed, but I haven’t watched those as of yet, and intend to follow through after I post this information. If it doesn’t come up in the news feed, go to my profile or, ask me for the link through Messenger. I’m not adding it here because I don’t want this ALERT to be shadowbanned. 

If you love Jesus, you will pull out all the stops and make an effort to watch this revelation.

And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks were split. Matthew 27:51

Must See Video!!

Do you ever argue with God? Yesterday, I had a young man sitting in my kitchen whose dad gave us an estimate for some minor repairs. He had just had his eyes dilated and was having a hard time seeing, so he sat down while his dad met with my husband. He was super quiet, but I made him talk to me and tell me what was going on with his eyes. He told me he had surgery a while back to correct a lazy eye, but now he is having trouble seeing. Here is where the argument with God ensued; I heard him tell me to go and pray for him. Though it should be natural for me, I find it hard to open myself up to rejection. However, when God wants you to do something, he makes an excellent case, so there’s no point in arguing; just get up and do it! Imagine that; he was receptive and allowed me to pray for him. Was this a challenge to get me out of my comfort zone, or was I planting a seed for a later harvest? I’m sure of neither, but I was obedient to do what God told through the nudging of the Holy Spirit. Will his eye be healed? I have no clue; that’s up to God, but I did my part, and at that moment, the young man got to experience the presence of God through my obedience.

No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised. Romans 4:20-21

Spring brings some marvelous things. I’m especially intrigued by the birds that flock to Florida in droves to escape the cold. They bring me such joy because of their song and peace because of their presence. This year I received a special blessing, new life! Within my staghorn fern, a wren decided to make its nest. It was the perfect place and is within a closed space in my backyard, so large critters that could cause them harm cannot get in. I only notice when examining the fern while preparing to clean off the dead leaves. There they were, newly hatched babies waiting for their mom to bring them some dinner. I carefully took a picture and moved away so I wouldn’t disturb them. How sweet is it that we get to experience such things and that our magnificent creator draws our attention to his creations? Fresh new life is what happens every day as we release all the dead within us, making room for the presence of the Holy Spirit. Start fresh today; rid yourself of whatever is causing you stress and add something new that brings glory to God. After all, he is the only one we need to please.

My beloved speaks and says to me: “Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away, for behold, the winter is past; the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. Song of Solomon 2:10-12

Some days, God’s word is encouraging and uplifting, but he is not only about our warm and fuzzy feelings; he is firm and expects our obedience. God has blessed me with the courage to step out and post a daily message that he reveals to me through the scriptures and the Holy Spirit, but it will all come to nothing if it is not received and acted upon by the reader. There is no such thing as a participation trophy in God’s kingdom, and whatever work I do will be refined by fire. If my work survives the refining fire, it will become a reward, but if it all comes to nothing, I will, at the least, escape with my life. 

Here is what I love the most about my mission, some of the seeds I’ve been watering are growing because I’ve seen it manifest in many of my friends. The exciting part is, in turn, they are either planting seeds or watering them. We are coworkers with a common objective to bring new life into the saving knowledge of Jesus. Keep on snatching people from the fire, my friends; the more that make it into the kingdom, the merrier it will be.

each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. 1 Corinthians 3:13

If you are worried or even slightly concerned about what is going on in the world right now, stop. The Spirit that dwells within us already knows the outcome; listen to him. No matter what transpires, we must remember that we are precious to the LORD, and he wants only good for us. I’m excited to see what happens because I know that I am loved, and my Father would not harm me. The world that most people live in doesn’t reflect the power and spirit of the living God, so they don’t see his hand at work among us; it makes sense that all we hear about is doom and gloom. The confidence I have doesn’t reflect the negative power of fear because I can see something incredible happening spiritually, which will affect us physically and make our world a better place to live within. Spend a few extra moments praising him this week, and you will begin to see his blessings on your life. There is something special about Passover that makes me feel extra close to the LORD; pay attention and see if you notice it too.

If you need extra encouragement today, read this entire chapter; it’s only 16 verses, but it’s powerful!

But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”— these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. 1 Corinthians 2:9-10

Passover began at sunset yesterday. It is the holiest time of the year, and leads to our celebration of salvation. Since most of us were not brought up following Jewish customs, we don’t have traditions or rituals associated with the Biblical feasts. There is nothing more precious than what Jesus did for us on the cross, and the least we could do is to acknowledge these appointed feasts and honor our Savior. 

The Jews were slaves to the Egyptians, and God devised a plan to get them out of captivity. He used many signs and wonders to open up a path for their freedom, confounding the Egyptians so they could make their escape. It was scary for them to make such a bold move, but God gave them courage, and his plan fell into place. 

One notable thing to take away from their experience was when they escaped Egypt, they left the burden of slavery behind. What burden are you holding onto that is too heavy for you to carry that you should have left behind when you accepted the gift of salvation? Jesus saved you and took the weight of your past that enslaves you. Let go of that garbage! You don’t need it because it will bog you down as you try to cross the Red Sea to freedom. What I’m talking about is releasing your fears, regrets, trauma, unbelief, and the pain of rejection and turning them over to Jesus. You can use those things to help others without carrying the weight of them. Today, and during this holy feast of Passover, ask God what you need to release to him so that you can walk in complete freedom just as the Israelites did. 

Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Let us therefore celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 1 Corinthians 5:7-8
