What overcomes His heart?  The greatness of the stars, oceans and mountains do not.  The vast armies of men or demons are nothing before Him. The greatest warrior in history is “conquered” by our love, when we are true to Him in times of testing.  Yes, our eyes of Love move Him. You see this steady Gaze of Song 6:5 is even more intense than any other glance in all of these scriptures. Neil Parks

"Remember Lot’s wife . Turning back is fatal for those who do so." “When the Day arrives and you’re out working in the yard, don’t run into the house to get anything. And if you’re out in the field, don’t go back and get your coat. Remember what happened to Lot’s wife! If you grasp and cling to life on your terms, you’ll lose it, but if you let that life go, you’ll get life on God’s term...

All believers, come here and listen, let me tell you what God did for me. I called out to him with my mouth, my tongue shaped the sounds of music. If I had been cozy with evil, the Lord would never have listened. But he most surely did listen, he came on the double when he heard my prayer. Blessed be God: he didn’t turn a deaf ear, he stayed with me, loyal in his love.  PS 66:16

Jesus is calling her to open her heart for Him in order to experience new depths in God . He is now taking full possession of her heart for Himself. SS 5:1.   Jesus calls her My Perfect one because of her obedience to open her heart to Him as her heart yearns and leaps because she is Lovesick.    Neil Parks       Fill The Lamp

So we constantly experience the death of Jesus in our own bodies, but this is so that the life of Jesus can also be seen in our bodies. 11 We are alive, but for Jesus we are always in danger of death , so that the life of Jesus can be seen in our bodies that die. 12 So death is working in us, but the result is that life is working in you. 2Cor 4:10-12

They have forgotten Me. Instead, My people offer incense to worthless gods, worshiping them as though they are real. They have lost their way, stumbling from the ancient path of blessing. Now they walk in the ruts of rebellion instead of taking the high road of obedience.   Jeremiah 18:15

Our Salvation involves much more than receiving a legal position of righteousness before God (2 Cor 5:21).  We must understand God’s affections for us.  Why?   Because we will never have more passion for God than what we understand about His passion for us. We love Him because we understand He first loved us. (1Jn 4:19). God’ heart is filled with delight for His people.   Neil Parks

Jesus does not define our life by our struggles. He sees more than our failures. He defines us by the seeds of virtue that are in our heart and what we set our heart on, not only by what we attain. He sees a willing spirit in us (Matt 26:41). He defines us by our longings to Love and obey Him. The Devil calls us hopeless hypocrites. The enemy wears down many with accusations and condemnation. He w...

Listen, my dearest darling, (The Lord Speaking)     you are so beautiful— you are beauty itself to me!     Your eyes are     like gentle doves behind your veil .     What devotion (Commitment) I see each time I gaze upon you     You are like a sacrifice ready to be offered .   When I look at you,     I see how you have taken my fruit and tasted my word. (His Body).     Your life has become clean a...

Distractions are Focus Killers , that easily swallow up the immature.  The obstacles   of Fear and what's going to happen next are just a couple.   So, if you are a believer in Jesus Christ and you've been Born Again with the understanding that " if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new."  (2 Corinth 5:17).   ...

We have much to say about this topic although it is difficult to explain , because you have become too dull and sluggish to understand .   For you should already be professors instructing others by now ; but instead, you need to be taught from the beginning the basics of God’s prophetic oracles ! You’re like children still needing milk and not yet ready to digest solid food. Hebrews 5: 11,12

“Just as each one of you has received a special gift [a spiritual talent , an ability graciously given by God ], employ it in serving one another as [is appropriate for] good stewards of God’s multi-faceted grace [faithfully using the diverse, varied gifts and abilities granted to Christians by God’s unmerited favor].”  1Peter 4:10 fillthelamp@yahoo.com

“ He brought me , He formed in me the disposition of intimacy to God, He, helped me to get over my discouragements, He took me by the hand, guided and led me, and gave me an access with boldness to God as a Father ,” Eph. 2:18   “ For it is through Him that we both have a [direct] way of approach in one Spirit to the Father”

The Lord is sweet to Her heart as she rests under the shade of the finished work of the “Cross ”.  Now think about this for a minute. The finished work of the Cross is the forgiveness of Sin . This is where we can come boldly to the throne of God as His Blood covers us.  She experiences the superior pleasures of knowing God as She feeds at His table and live under the Banner of His excellent leade...

“ This is the crisis we’re in : God-light streamed into the world , but men and women everywhere ran for the darkness. They went for the darkness because they were not really interested in pleasing God . Everyone who makes a practice of doing evil, addicted to denial and illusion, hates God-light and won’t come near it, fearing a painful exposure. But anyone working and living in truth and reality...

This wine is delectable . Why would you save the most exquisite fruit of the vine ? A host would generally serve the good wine first and, when his inebriated guests don’t notice or care, he would serve the inferior wine. You have held back the best for last. Jesus performed this miracle, the first of His signs, in Cana of Galilee. They did not know how this happened; but when the disciples and the...

God continues to test His people by allowing them to ask for anything.  The Bride, The Shulamite, The Maiden’s supreme request from the Father is "The Divine Kiss of The Word" . She wants more than power, prominence and earthly comforts.  God is raising up a people who long for the Kisses of God’s Word as their supreme request.  There are many necessary things to ask for. They are second...

O kings and rulers of the earth listen while there is time.  "Serve the Lord with reverent fear; rejoice with trembling."  Fall down before his Son and "Kiss his feet" before his anger is roused and you perish. I am warning you—his wrath will soon begin.   But oh, the joys of those who put their trust in him! Psalm 2:10-12

Then one of them, a religious scholar, posed this question to test him:  “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” Jesus answered him, “ ‘Love the Lord you're God with every passion of your heart, with all the energy of your being, and with every thought that is within you.’  This is the great and supreme commandment. Matt 22:35-38

The poor fellow died and was carried on the arms of the heavenly messengers to the embrace of Abraham. Then the rich fellow died and was buried and found himself in the place of the dead. In his torment, he looked up, and off in the distance he saw Abraham, with Lazarus in his embrace. He shouted out, “Father Abraham! Please show me mercy! Would you send that beggar Lazarus to dip his fingertip in...

The natural man is not aware that all the answers to life are found in God . The natural man cringes in the earth and seeks and finds that which is vain and temporary while the spiritual man soars on wings of eagles (Is 40:31) and seeks and finds righteousness and God’s incomparable and everlasting blessings and companionship.

Earth is the place where beauty and ugliness dwell together .  “Heaven is the place of harmonious numbers .  Heaven is the place of loveliness; the place of beauty, because the One who is all Beautiful is there !!  He is the Lord of all beauty, and the Earth lies between all that is Ugly in Hell and all that is beautiful in Heaven . AW Tozer

Without the renewing of "The Mind" and confessing Jesus Christ as Lord.  Mankind  is not capable of understanding or keeping  the main thing, the main thing,  in that,  in the writings of Ecclesiastics if we do not understand the Trap of the World and what it presents to the Church and its potential followers of Christ, we will never understand "The God of Love" portrayed in th...

For the sinful nature has its desire which is opposed to the Spirit, and the [desire of the] Spirit opposes the sinful nature: for these [two, the sinful nature and the Spirit] are in direct opposition to each other [continually in conflict], so that you [as believers] do not [always] do whatever [good things] you want to do. Gal 5:17

“Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher. “Vanity of vanities! All [that is done without God’s guidance] is vanity [futile, meaningless—a wisp of smoke, a vapor that vanishes, merely chasing the wind].” Ecclesiastes teaches us that no matter how great our accomplishments are in man’s eyes they will not ultimately have any value if they are not pleasing to God. When Ecclesiastes is understood it awa...
