In the middle of the night I was shown a vision – not to be taken lightly at all – of Jesus Christ. He was shown with His arms and hands extended wide open from left to right. He was looking downward but His expression was grave; it was an expression of sadness and even sorrow.

We know that in the latter days the Lord returns as the Lion of Judah with a fierce and bright countenance. But, based on this vision, this resurrected and majestic Son still feels sorrow for the suffering of GOD’S faithful people in ways that we cannot yet humanly comprehend. The position of Jesus with open arms brought to remembrance His descriptive Words when He lamented over Jerusalem:

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee (because GOD’S people did not understand nor accept that Jesus Christ was prophesied as their Messiah) how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings (under his open comforting arms) and ye would not! (Mat. 23:37)

While contemplating the vision this morning, there came a profound realization and knowing that human sorrows are registered in heaven. I do not know what might have taken place overnight or recently but this I do know: nothing escapes the eyes and heart of our compassionate GOD for HIS faithful people. (Ps. 25:10; 86:15-17) And know this, that whatever sorrow/s GOD’S people are feeling right now, it is being displayed through a sorrowful Christ. It ought to bring us all down to our knees in complete humility.

This vision is yet again another marker of the prophetic latter days we are living in and of the merciful call on All of GOD’S people to find refuge in His arms of salvation before the clock strikes midnight.

But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness. Turn to me and have mercy on me; show your strength in behalf of your servant; save me, because I serve you just as my mother did. (Ps. 86:15-17)

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. (Mat. 11:28-30)

Keep the Faith, it’s what keeps all who are His. Suzanne ❤ +

Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear *him* which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Mat. 10:26-28)

In a vision a few days ago I was shown from an aerial view a round covered manhole down below on earth. What is a manhole? It is the removable covered access point for dark underground sewer systems.

It is Coming (Words of Knowledge)

And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even *him* whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders. And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. (2 Thess. 2:6-12)

Evil lurks and lives in the darkness of the underworld but the Light of Christ will expose and reveal it during these end times. All this to say, warn and confirm that we are living in very prophetic days.

This post will be revisited.

OCCUPY IN THOUGHT, WORD AND DEED  (Spoken Word of Knowledge)

He said therefore, a certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. (Lk. 19:12-13)

As we embark on yet another trip around the sun for 2024, the Church body is called to Occupy until we leave this planet or until the Lord comes. We are called to put on the mind of Christ; to obediently heed His Word in scripture and through the Holy Spirit; to speak words of life and perform works based on faith. Consider that even resting in the finished works of Christ is the greatest work of faith!  It is all part of helping to advance the Kingdom of GOD until the Lord returns to stake His claim on this planet.  In the process, we are being dynamically transformed into His image from glory to glory! (2 Cor. 3:18) Praise GOD and thank you Lord for this awesome Word this morning!

Affiliated Verses:

In Thought: Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind (with the aid of the Holy Spirit and Scriptures) that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. (Rom. 12:2)

In Word: For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth. (1 Pet. 2:21-22)

In Word: Death and life are in the power of the tongue: And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof (Prov. 18:21)

In Deed: Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. (James 2:17-18)

Be encouraged and inspired today in knowing that only you can occupy or accomplish what has been assigned to you in your own special and unique sphere of influence. Even despite limitations and restrictions and the duress of these latter days; think about how colorful, joyful and beautiful life is and would be if Believers en mass occupied and fulfilled their godly purposes. At the risk of glossing this message up, it can admittedly be difficult to envision the world this way considering different factors and the state of this fallen planet. Very difficult. But often these difficulties can be blessings in disguise for it is in these times that the faithful grow the most in the stature of Christ…in Thought, Word and Deed. (Eph. 4:13) (I sense this message is for someone today…)

Keep the Faith. Occupy and be blessed. Suzanne ❤ +

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! (Mat. 23:37)

Yesterday, while reading Prophet Isaiah’s prophecy in chapter 61, the following Words of Knowledge were spoken: “In The End.”

Recapping Isaiah Chapter 61

The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, because the LORD has anointed Me to preach good tidings unto the meek: He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them who are bound.  To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD (Is. 61:1-2)…..Snip

Isaiah was prophesying that the Lord would come at an acceptable time, to preach, liberate and heal a blind and deafened people primarily through His finished works of redemption and also His teachings.  That acceptable year took place at a time when He came into this world as the man Jesus Christ. (Lk. 4:18-27)  Tragically and as history and Holy Writ testify, we know how that chapter in time ended but this epic story is very far from over! Returning to Isaiah who continues….

“….and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn. To appoint unto them who mourn in Zion to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness that they might be called Trees of Righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He might be glorified. (Is. 61:2-3) ….Snip

The “day of vengeance” will take place during a time defined as “In The End” when the Lord will come again with such a great roaring Voice and supernatural countenance that all of Israel’s enemies will be put under His feet (His authority.) But as scriptures teach, the time of the end will come with great burdens and tribulation biblically known as “Jacob’s Trouble”. (Jer. 30:6-8) At that time Israel will finally recognize and mourn for Her Messiah as one mourns for a son – the one whom was pierced! (Rev. 1:7; Zech. 12:10) And all the remnant who remains will be saved! Isaiah then fast forwards into the New Age…

“…And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations of many generations. And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vine dressers. But you shall be named Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: you shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall you boast yourselves. (Is. 61:4-6)…Snip

All this to say that GOD has not abandoned you Israel.  Far from it! But tragically as a nation, as a chosen people, you are disregarding GOD’S New Covenant of redemption in His Son, Jesus Christ.  You have not come out from under the curse of the law and the old covenant which was not faultless. (Heb. 8:6-13) And because you are not properly covered and redeemed, you have become an open target to Evil (Spoken Word) and are positioned in the crosshairs of wicked and fallen nations. Oh sons and daughters of Israel! Ponder sooner rather than later the wisdom of your old testament prophets regarding your Messiah rather than a coming imposter. (Jn. 5:43-47 ) A strong message but a respectful and never condescending one. Most importantly a message that is direly needed for this hour. Israel, you remain in our thoughts and prayers.

 And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong. For thus saith the Lord of hosts; As I thought to punish you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith the Lord of hosts, and I repented not: So again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not. (Zechariah 8:13-15)

After completing this study and message, the Word Watch was spoken. Oh, my! GOD will certainly fulfill HIS Word. Strong Words of Confirmation on this message have been spoken 3 times. Praise GOD and thank you Lord Jesus.

Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? Why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered? (Jer. 8:22)

This is what is being shown now and for 2024. Loads and loads of soothing and healing balm containers in a very large basket. More than one person could handle in a lifetime, that’s for sure!

A Miraculous Remedy

This spiritual ointment is for the healing of souls. It’s a miraculous balm that heals all spiritual wounds that keep people painfully victimized and colorlessly imprisoned in a state of sin, of joylessness, hopelessness or discouragement.

Available at Amazon?

Hmm…No! It can only be obtained by seeking and contacting the greatest, heavenly certified Physician who has been empowered in heaven and on earth! He is more than qualified! Come to Him all you who labor, who are heartbroken, who mourn and are wounded and He will sooth and comfort you. Yes, yes! He can also heal you! Repent if there is a need to do so – clear the decks! (Mk. 2:17) Then tell Him what ails you! Abide in Him regularly. Believe in Him all the time. Trust Him without fail. Look forward to spending prayerful and rejuvenating time with Him! Read His script: The Holy Bible! Put Him above everyone and everything else for He is the Head of the Church! Give Him your wounded hearts! Then watch and wait as heaven’s divine strategy unfolds in front of you and in you through the Holy Spirit! (Phil. 1:6) Watch and feel Him perform His mighty works.

And there was delivered unto Him (Jesus) the book of the prophet Esaias. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written, The Spirit of the LORD is upon me (Jesus), because He hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised. To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. (Lk. 4: 17-21)

I am seeing a man’s ears being swabbed out with Q-tips. Someone’s understanding is being opened. The ears of the spiritually deaf are being opened. Praise GOD!

Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped. Then will the lame leap like a deer, and the mute tongue shout for joy. (Is. 35:5-6 Cf. Lk. 24:45)

Dear Reader. Whoever you are, whatever you situation is and wherever you are in this world: Hear this! Regardless of what happens in 2024 and beyond, there is more than enough healing balm to go around. Don’t put off until tomorrow what is in your power to do right now. Go ahead! Make your appointment today with the greatest Healer of all time. You will not be disappointed. And believe that all things are possible with Him. (Mk. 9:23)

Wishing all Readers a healing, healthy, blessed, uplifted, joyful and peaceful 2024.

(After wondering if the following dream should be posted, a Word of Knowledge revealed that it was “A Word” to be shared.)

In a dream, in a vision of the night, When deep sleep falleth upon men, In slumberings upon the bed; Then he openeth the ears of men, And sealeth their instruction, That he may withdraw man from his purpose, And hide pride from man. (Job 33:15-18 Cf. Joel 2:28-29 Cf. Acts 2:17)

A Prophetic Dream For Canada

In a dream, a few days before Christmas, I found myself as a passenger in a truck heading on a straight road.  At one point, I looked outside my window and noticed that there were political signs on the right side and left side of this road.   The signs on one side were red and promoted the Liberal Party of Canada; whereas the signs on the other side were blue and promoted the Conservative Party of Canada.  It was then that I heard a voice speak out loud the name “Poilievre”. The name of the Conservative Party’s Leader.

Is There An Interpretation?

Yes!  It was immediately understood that as Believers we are called to walk (in this case to drive) on the straight and narrow road.  We are not to become distracted and deviate to the left nor to the right.  That is to say, to not be trapped in political laws and affairs that compromise and even corrupt our Christian morals and beliefs.  

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Mat. 7:14)

Let thine eyes look right on, And let thine eyelids look straight before thee. Ponder the path of thy feet, And let all thy ways be established. Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: Remove thy foot from evil. (Prov. 4:24-27)

He (John the Baptist) said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias. (Jn. 1:23)

The Exception to the Rule

And yet we know that political leaders – the righteous ones – are to be supported and respected. First and foremost, this Leader’s name whom I heard being called out by the Lord is to fulfill His purposes during these latter days.  And with this in mind, I am requesting that Canadians (and everyone else who is moved) to pray for him.  It’s a critically-important message for this Leader personally and purposely for the security and future well being of Canada’s citizens! (Prov. 25:5-7 and Prov. 28:2-5)

 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men. For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;  (1 Tim. 2:1-5)

…Then saith he (Jesus) unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s. When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way. (Mat. 22:21-22)

In the meantime, Christians are called to keep walking and driving on the straight and narrow road paved for us by the Lamb. This is not only the narrow road of salvation and revelation but one that ultimately leads to the Grand Wedding Banquet. Let the Lord’s Holy Spirit be the Driver who leads and let us be wise passengers. Let us enjoy the ride, discern the journey, fulfill our roles and missions and continue towards our ultimate destination! Onward and Upward! Praise GOD and thank you Jesus Christ.

A few days ago while someone was speaking, a potter’s spinning table was shown in a vision .  The emphasis was on two hands that held a vessel that was being fashioned out of clay. It was immediately understood that the parable of the Divine Potter was being shown:

Hath not the potter (God) power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor. What if God willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much long suffering the vessels of wrath, fitted to destruction. And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared unto glory. Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only but also of the Gentiles? As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people which were not my people and her beloved which was not beloved. And it shall come to pass that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there shall they be called the children of the living God. (Rom. 8:21-26)

The Molding Process

GOD creates/forms/molds humanity outwardly and HE continues, to this very day, to spiritually mold those who respond to HIS call of salvation through His glorious Son, Jesus Christ.  And it is a progressive transformative process that includes the sanctifying works of the Holy Spirit “in” us:

For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. (2 Cor. 4:6-7)

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. (1 Cor. 3:16-17)

This message today is a resurfacing theme for the Church and Israel. Wherever in the process you might be right now; especially if you are in the kiln of purification, this vision and message is shared to encourage you to ‘keep on keeping on! Sometimes the flesh and ‘self’ dies hard, and the process will make Believers wince because the good Lord disciplines and chastises those whom He calls. But take heart, it confirms that you are a Son or Daughter of HIS and HE won’t let the enemy snatch you from out of HIS merciful Hands! (Heb. 12:6-7; Jn. 10:27-29) Yes, it is all for good reason! It’s part of the plan of redemption, sanctification and eventual glorification made available to us through the finished works of the Lord Jesus Christ. It’s to bless and also prepare a people fit for the Master’s work. (2 Tim. 2:19-20) And very importantly, it’s to prepare a people to eventually populate the New Kingdom in heaven and on a new earth where only the redeemed will dwell. GOD’S patience, mercy and love is…. immeasurable!

We Are Being Changed

Importantly, the Word teaches that when the Lord ‘appears’ we shall be like Him because we shall see Him as He is! (1 Jn. 3:2) A critical message for these latter days. Yes, we are being changed right now into the Son’s glorious image if we allow the Holy Spirit to do so. So be encouraged today knowing that the awesome Potter who has begun a good work in all of us, will continue to complete it until the ‘day of the Lord Jesus Christ’. (Phil. 1:6)

But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as **by the Spirit of the Lord**. (2 Cor. 3:18)

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. (1 Jn. 3:1-3)

Yes, the good Lord is calling and fashioning a people into vessels of honor and light fit for His service and glory during these last days. But there will also be disobedient vessels of destruction and dishonor fit for wrath! (Ps. 2:9-12; Rev. 2:27) Take care not to put off until later what needs doing right now – tomorrow is never guaranteed. And finally rest assured that we are in good and powerful HANDS with the Lord!

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. (Ps. 1:1-3)

A Remembrance

It’s the time of year when decorative acorns are seen everywhere and it keeps reminding me of a vision from years ago. When that happens, it is understood that it is time to revisit and post its meaning so that he or she who reads it can ‘run with it.’ (Hab., 2:2:3)

What Happened?

An inordinately giant-sized oak acorn falling from above and onto a fertile forest floor suddenly appeared in my field of vision. It’s difficult to put into words but as the acorn struck the ground, a type of soft sonic boom was heard.

Much More Than An Acorn

An oak acorn is a fruit produced by the oak tree. And meaningfully, an acorn’s seeds reproduce into new oak trees only when it falls onto the forest floor. From a spiritual understanding its life-giving seeds represent, by analogy, renewal and new beginnings. They are seeds that can only be planted by the Sower from above in Heaven: Jesus Christ. It falls to reason that heaven’s holy Sower was planting seeds characteristic of strength, stability and endurance as symbolized by the great Oak Tree.

Sharing This Vision With You Because….

…it brings to remembrance that we are only a couple of weeks away from a New Year: 2024. A time when many reflect on what to anticipate for the coming year. In brief, this message is shared with specific intentions: To help bring to remembrance the importance of always allowing the Life-giving Word in combination with the Holy Spirit to continue their awesome work in us. That is to say, to help bring to fruition renewals as we are being changed from glory to glory into the image of Christ in anticipation of new beginnings.(2 Cor. 3:18) But most specifically, in this case, for the purpose of one unprecedented prophetic new beginning: the new heaven and the new earth.

Until that happens, we are called to resolutely stand in the strength, stability and endurance of a great new Oak Tree who has matured, grown and persevered through the harsh elements of this world. A strong and fortified Oak Tree planted by the rivers of the Holy Spirit; a Tree who does not wither during hardships but who allows faithful works of righteousness – which are really the fruitful works of Christ in us – to multiply in His Service! (Jn. 14:12-18; Col. 1:27) Oak Trees that will help advance the New Kingdom not only for any New Year but also for the coming New Age!

Let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein.

Blessed be the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said. Amen and praised the LORD. (1 Chr. 16:32-36)

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified. And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations. (Is. 61:1-4 Cf. Jesus in Lk. 4:17)

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. (Rev. 21:4-5)

Today’s brief message is one that can benefit the Church body in a big way during these latter days. 

What was the Vision?

It was a bunch of large entangled orange cables that were shown on the ground.

What does it Mean?

The bright orange cables are high-voltage electricity cables. In brief, they symbolically represent fallen powers and principalities from high places that are attempting to trip and trap Believers on earth during these latter days. (Eph. 6:12) Indeed, the Prince of the Power of the air is cast down to earth and is increasing his assaults and tactics because he knows his time is short. (Rev. 12:12)

The Church is being warned to not become entangled with the affairs of others or of this fallen world.  In a recent discussion with someone it was said that if Satan can’t get to you he will send someone else to get to you.  His entanglements are subtle and very clever. And be reminded that if you are doing the Lord’s work, this thing will stop at nothing. He and his fallen minions want to trip, trap, discourage, harm and wear out as many souls as they can.

No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. (2 Tim. 2:4)

Seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit in combination with the Word in order to effectively ward off the enemy. Discern and beware of all manners of entanglements. It can seriously hamper your spiritual walk with the Lord!

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. (Jn. 16:13)

Secure your Armour. And take care to never forget that Christ who is in You is unfathomably greater than he who is of this fallen world! And He has an army of His own. A mighty and powerful army of warrior angels! The Lord knows your battles and He wants you to rest in the shadow and shelter of His powerful and comforting wings! Praise GOD and thank you Lord Jesus Christ.

Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. (Ps. 141:)

The Fragrance of Flowers

Early this morning during prayer a vase containing beautiful, awe-inspiring pinkish and white roses were shown.

Flowers in this Believer’s dreams and visions fragrantly symbolize the devotion and power of Christian prayers, including intercessory prayers, and blessings. In brief, they represent a sweet-smelling odor, a savor or an aroma to GOD.  It also bears noting that visually-inspiring flower motifs are mentioned as adorning the old tabernacle and later the inside of the Temple in Jerusalem.

Before And After the Cross

Let’s flash back to the days of the old tabernacle in order to better understand GOD-pleasing incenses (the burnt meal and peace offerings) that were made by priests as a sign of devotion to GOD.  Importantly, they were offered on behalf of HIS people only after the sin and trespass offerings were made. Praise be to GOD who mercifully sent Jesus Christ to take the legal hit for our sinful nature at the Cross. He is now implanted within tabernacles not pitched with human hands. (1 Cor. 3:16-17; Heb. 9:11) I am hearing: Acceptable. Praise GOD only because of Jesus Christ’s finished works are we made ‘acceptable‘; only because of His mediation are our prayers made ‘acceptable’!! He is our eternal High Priest who now makes intercession for us beyond the veil! It follows that if we abide in Him and His Word, confess sin and earnestly repent (if there is need for it), GOD our FATHER will smell and hear the righteous prayers of his priestly sons and daughters because of His glorified Son’s finished works.  (Rom. 8:34; Heb. 7:24-27; 1 Jn.2:1-5; 1 Pet. 2:9; James 5:16)  

And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour. (Eph. 4:2)

 Does this mean it is okay to sin.  No, it absolutely does not.  Sin is grave and has consequences.  And John certainly points out the dangers of habitual sin in 1 Jn. 3:9. Nor can sin be exposed to a thrice holy GOD! But should a Believer have occasion to sin, there is mercy in and through the Lord Jesus Christ through earnest repentance. (1 Jn. 1:9; 2 Cor. 7:10) Yet, neither should knowing this truth ever give a Believer permission to sin with thoughts and intentions of obtaining mercy afterwards. GOD will not be mocked. (Gal. 6:7-8)

Sometimes Afflictions and Sufferings

Following the implantation of the New Covenant into Believers, the Holy Spirit stokes up the fire (sometimes mixed with the tribulation of affliction or suffering) to activate the sanctified scent and works of Christ in us.  (Rom. 5:35; Acts 14:22; Jn. 16:33) GOD, in turn, remembers the scent and fragrance of the Lamb in the fiery tribulation of the Cross and reciprocates by accepting the sweet incense of our devotions.

But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. (1 Pet. 4:13)

Why Pink?…

…because pink is a color associated with Love and also awe-inspiring joy. Meaningfully, pink is also a color produced by mixing red with white.  Together, they represent the redeeming crimson blood of the Lamb and His righteousness, holiness and purity – the color white! (Is. 1:18-19; Rev. 7:14; Rev. 19:13) 

All this to say that Believers ought to never underestimate GOD’S Love, the power of the redeeming Blood and of prayer (or of any good works based on faith) because it is the righteousness of Christ active ‘in’ His saints. (Rev. 19:8) Now that is a lot to be joyful about! ?
