When I first came to know the Lord, I 'talked’ to the Father and developed a relationship with Him. Then  Abba (the Father)  spoke to me saying ~ "come to know Jesus".

Emphasize Jesus. This is an admonition from the reading. I had to emphasize it, because it is what the Father instructed me to do. He told me ‘Get to know Jesus and honor Jesus as you honor Me.’

Our Prayer:

Father You showed me Your huge heart. Give me a heart like Yours for Your people! Father put in me Your love for others; let me function always from love. Pray thru me Father with the mighty huge love You have for us all. Let people know how deep is Your love for us,. You are the Potter, I am the clay. Make of me the instrument You can use mightily. I am not willing to settle for mediocre. I want to be powerfully used by You! I desire to be fully who You created and purposed me to be.

Come Lord Jesus, my Rock! Continue to work in me as You promised.

God's response:

"Love each other; just live a life of loving

Just speak My word out of your mouth to lodge in their hearts.

Fear not. There is nothing to fear. Am I not enough? Can I not do it?

Trust in Me. Rest in Me. Call Me to be in you, to work in you. I love you!"

And God calls us:  "Come home for more faith to be poured into your breastplate of righteousness, to strengthen your faith. Come, it is pure gold and I will pour it into you. Come with your hungry heart; run into My open arms! Let Me hug you. I love you! Nothing can harm you. I have called you by your name; you are Mine! Just trust in Me.

Isaiah 43:1-2 ... I have called you by your name; you are Mine.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned or scorched, nor will the flame kindle upon you.

This is the Scripture You gave me as You led me through the cancer journey, the encouraging words You formed within my soul for me to share with others. This is how You love us.

Lord, Jesus, I believe the book is what You were preparing me for ~ the book Cast Up A Highway. and teaching its message everywhere. . . building that inner strength~that breastplate of righteousness in pure gold within people. (A breastplate was a piece of armor covering and protecting the chest, the heart of the warrior.) This message of the book will create an iron-strong covering of protectiion, over the heart of the reader who constructs the highway within themselves. It s a spiritual strength of pure power and nothing of the enemy can penetrate it. Its sharing a personal love relationship with God Himself and that is why it is impenetrable.

Ephesians 6:13-15 (New King James Version) Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 
Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

Your love flowing through us builds up that breastplate of righteousness.. Our relationship, feeding our intimacy with You constructs it. Lord,  Our country needs to see and know You, for we are under spiritual attack now!

Our nation are Your people, Lord!

Love conquers all... the enemy cannot fight

has no weapon that can come against love.

Fill Your children’s hearts so full of Your love,

for I know, Lord, love is our greatest weapon

and our strongest defense.


Ps 33:11 The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the thoughts of His heart through all generations.

JESUS!! It's You who redeemed us, You bought our ticket to heaven, You walked through agony with my face before You. It was for love of me and my sisters and brothers that You made that choice. Thank You!
