And He Walks with me and He Talks with me, and He guides and teaches me each day that I faithfully expect Him-He Is! Amen!YES JESUS LOVES ME, YEEESSS JESUS LOOVVEESS MEEEEE-YES JESUS LOVESSS ME, BECAUSE HE TELLS ME SO!
AMEN AMEN AMEN!
I do not call you servants (slaves) any longer, for the servant does not know what his master is doing (working out). But I have called you My friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from My Father. [I have revealed to you everything that I have learned from Him.]
Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign: Behold, the young woman who is unmarried and a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel [God with us].
30And the angel said to her, Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found grace ([a]free, spontaneous, absolute favor and loving-kindness) with God.
31And listen! You will become pregnant and will give birth to a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus.
"It is easy for the Lord to save a sinner, but it is impossible for a self-righteous man to be saved."
Matthew 19:20-30 (Amplified Bible)
20The young man said, I have observed all these from my youth; what still do I lack?
21Jesus answered him, If you would be perfect [that is, [a]have that spiritual maturity which accompanies self-sacrificing character], go and sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven; and come, [b]be My disciple [side with My party and follow Me].
22But when the young man heard this, he went away sad (grieved and in much distress), for he had great possessions.
23And Jesus said to His disciples, Truly I say to you, it will be difficult for a rich man to get into the kingdom of heaven.
24Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to go into the kingdom of heaven.
25When the disciples heard this, they were utterly puzzled (astonished, bewildered), saying, Who then can be saved [[c]from eternal death]?
26But Jesus looked at them and said, With men this is impossible, but all things are possible with God.(A)
27Then Peter answered Him, saying, Behold, we have left [our] all and have become [d]Your disciples [sided with Your party and followed You]. What then shall we receive?
28Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, in the new age [the [e]Messianic rebirth of the world], when the Son of Man shall sit down on the throne of His glory, you who have [become My disciples, sided with My party and] followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones and judge the twelve tribes of Israel.
29And anyone and everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands for My name's sake will receive [f]many [even a hundred] times more and will inherit eternal life.
30But many who [now] are first will be last [then], and many who [now] are last will be first [then].
Live your life in a praise filled and thankful mode, not a WhaTaBOUTmE? Mode. THANKSLIVING!
1 Corinthians 9:16-19 Amp16For if I [merely] preach the Gospel, that gives me no reason to boast, for I feel compelled of necessity to do it. Woe is me if I do not preach the glad tidings (the Gospel)!
17For if I do this work of my own free will, then I have my pay (my reward); but if it is not of my own will, but is done reluctantly and under compulsion, I am [still] entrusted with a [sacred] trusteeship and commission.
18What then is the [actual] reward that I get? Just this: that in my preaching the good news (the Gospel), I may offer it [absolutely] free of expense [to anybody], not taking advantage of my rights and privileges [as a preacher] of the Gospel.
19For although I am free in every way from anyone's control, I have made myself a bond servant to everyone, so that I might gain the more [for Christ].
GREETINGS to you,
I have to share some truth - freedom with all of you. And before I begin I want you to know, that I know—Many of You feel just like I do.
Now, Take Your Seat-Class is about to Start! Amen.
I have to thank all the people that have rejected me for one narrow and blinding reason or another. I want to thank the people that speak harshly – bearing false witness against me and mine-I want to thank the people that leave me out of their gatherings and meetings, I want to thank all the people that cast this stone to the side.
For without any of you people, I would not be as strong as I am today. I would not love my LORD Jesus as deeply as I do today.
Had I tried to get you to like me and accept me by compromising myself and my integrity I would be less than you for doing so. I am able to accept you with your faults, shortcomings, lack, immaturity, and your mis-education about the Love of Jesus—But you are not able to do the same with me and mine.
I understand that you either don't know or that, you know and refuse to accept the Fact, that We belong to the Same Father, Son and Holy Ghost. We are all at different places of our Journey with Jesus and our Spiritual growth and maturity are at different places.
You have taken your free will and chosen to use it to reject, refuse, and to hate the Creations and the Children of God our Father.
I forgive you whole heartedly in the name of Jesus.
I have to thank you, for just as Jesus was born on the outskirts of town and died on the outskirts of town, so have you people pushed me and mine to the outskirts of town.
I have never felt that I fit in – all my life I wondered why I don’t feel like I fit in.
Now at the age of 46, I must confess that I realized years ago that God never intended for me to fit in with the groups of people who narrowly and blindly go about their days, living in shallow thinking that they have arrived at their destination-basing their self-worth and their value on material gain, human acceptance and human status, on the love of power instead of the power of Love, and by self-centered cultural standards and your legalistic religious laws that strangle the life out of a person.
THANK YOU for not allowing me to come into your little groups and sup with you. I still have love for you and I bless the name of The Lord for your welfare. For by you moving yourselves out the way—Room has been made in order that the People He has Called to fellowship with me and me them, To Step Forth and Be Recognized.
See, My value is not based on your ideas, standards and shallow ways of living in and by fear.
My inner wealth has already been determined by the birth, life, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus, The Messiah!
God has already validated my life through Jesus My Lord.
Thank You Father-I Get It! Amen!
Those of you that measure your success through outward wealth and power will always be unhappy, unfulfilled and will always come up short to reach the mark set forth by your plans and desires-attempted by your manipulative selfish, and fearful ways.
I am led by the Spirit of God-The Spirit of Truth; not by my own will, plans and desires based on what I see that the world has to offer.
Without His Anointing poured over and into you—your natural wealth and limited power mean absolutely nothing.
I am not building my Vision on your opinions concerning anything. You have nothing to do with the Glory that belongs to Father God.
I am building my Visions on the Faith that God Will complete In me AND through me, what He has started. You have started nothing good with me-so why do you worry about what God is doing through me for those that seek Him?
I have a clear understanding of the human heart. People will ‘feel like’ approving me today and tomorrow will outright reject me.
Your cultural standards do not determine my value—I go by The Christ Standard for that. I do not use things to prove my self-worth. Whether I have things or not I am already Valuable and Important to God-the One Who has Called me by His name.
People – humans have nothing to do with the Promises that God has spoken into my Spirit.
I made up my mind a long time ago to be happy no matter What condition I am in.
I have the Audacity to Preach and Spread The Gospel of Jesus Christ, and sometimes I use words. I have the audacity to hold on to the Visions and Dreams that The Father has spoken into my heart and spirit because I Know that He Is going to bring them all to pass. He has shown me the End of the Things first—Now I am on my way to achieving them All in the name of Jesus!
I thank you people for pushing me and mine out of your systems — so many Great and Mighty things and people have come from outside your systems of shallowness, greed, oppression and fear.
God Does Good and Great Works in the Strangest Places. Who would ever imagine that His One and Only Son would be born in a cave to store animals in- and be placed in an animal feeding trough at that? AMAZING!
So just as God hid Mary, Joseph and Jesus out in an obscure cave—so He has set me aside, out of the daily eyes of people to be used as His vessel.
**Hint (I’m not the only one you know.)**
My circumstances do not scare me or intimidate me. They will not diminish the Glory that belongs to The Father through my life—I will not disobey Him because of your rejection or my circumstances at this moment of my life. I have the Audacity to Beleive Him.
I shall keep my Gifts and Visions hidden while they Grow, Mature, gain in strength, wisdom, understanding and anointing. Till He reveals His Work in me to those that want to see.
**Hint (I’m not the only one you know)**
I understood a very long time ago that Everyone cannot go with me where I am going—and I cannot go with everybody where they are going!—everyone that wants to follow me and pat me on the back is not my friend either.So I thank you for closing doors and for thinking that you had stopped me, because you don’t see me out and about anymore! LOLOLO
God put Jesus where I can reach Him—and I am extremely grateful to Him for this gift. I really am grateful to you for not showing love to me and mine -- for God used all the closed doors as a path to direct my steps right to the places that He divinely set forth for me to follow! I Am Still Here—Thank You Jesus.
AND all the while I have gained wisdom, knowledge, understanding, strength, trust, faith and love because I ran to My Father-The Great I Am!
Jesus is my friend and I am His friend.
And even though you dislike me and do everything in your little power to shut me out – I THANK YOU, for I have no desire to be like you anyway-nor to join in with your shallow way of life. I don’t have to be around you or answer to you—I can love you from afar until you come to Him completely convinced and converted.
I have to show God’s love-not just talk about it as you people do.
I do not hate you—I know that is what you want—but I am not able to be that way—it is just not in me to hate. Actually I pity people like you and I pray the Father help you in every way that you require in the name of Jesus. Allow Jesus to teach you how to love yourself and to provide you with understanding of just how valuable you are to Him.
I have a model to follow and who accepts me just as I am.
MY FAITH IS GOING TO PROVE GOD!
I build my Visions on the Promises that God made to me.
It would do your heart, soul and Spirit a lot of good if you did the same for yourself. Give your self the Gift that Keeps On Giving=GODS LOVE! A Life Lived for Jesus! Amen!
Isaiah 55:1 Amp
1WAIT and listen, everyone who is thirsty! Come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Yes, come, buy [priceless, spiritual] wine and milk without money and without price [simply for the self-surrender that accepts the blessing].(A)

It has been on my mind lately, too, how I have been rejected by those around me because I am maturing spiritually. But I also see it as "rest" not to be around their negative energy. It would be easy to call those people up and try to "hang out" with them because I do get lonely, but God has a reason for this separation/growth and I must keep the faith. Thanks for your words.
Deb
