Word:
Who will have confidence in their God? Who will walk in the strength and freedom of My love? Who will know Me? Who will know what I have done for man? I am a good God, a loving God. I carry My people through the storms of their lives. I never leave them. I never forsake them. I am a good Shepherd, a perfect father. I am the lover of your soul. Know who I am. Know Me. Have confidence in My love for you. Have you not been bought with a price? Have I not paid a heavy debt for your life? Would I let you go? Would I not pursue you with a most fervent love? My little ones, remember who I am. Keep Me close. Cast all your cares for I am faithful to your needs. Rest in Me and My peace and all will be well with your soul.
(For anyone who is stirred to read it, the Lord gave me Proverbs 3 to read with this word).
Also, for several years now, I never quite understood what was meant when Jesus said "what is easier to say, your sins be forgiven or be healed." They always seemed so completely different to me, but now I believe the Lord has given me a personal understanding. Really, there is no difference, because both things are done by the Spirit. Neither are up to us to achieve. All we have to do is be obedient to what God puts in front of us, because in all situations, God's Spirit will give us what we need at the moment we need it. That is all that is required, no more, no less. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and ALL these things will be added unto you. It is the truth, and as simple as it might seem, for me it was a profound understanding. To realize that I really didn't have to do anything, took so much pressure off of me. I realize now that it was never up to us to make something happen. It was never about how "good" we are or how "prepared" we are. It was always up to God to do the work, we just have to be willing, faithful vessels that He can use when He sees fit. That's all! Truly, God uses the simple things to confound the wise!

Amen.
It blesses me very much to see that we are coming to this place in our faith. Finally, knowing that the burden is not ours, and all we need be is faithful vessels. Casting our cares upon the Lord, trusting, in Love, that he will provide for our every need.

Amen, Tara.
The very same thing that the Spirit has been speaking to me. Very true words and encouragement to all who can receive it.
There is a rest unto the people of God, but only those who do not let unbelief enter in can hear it and receive it for themselves, that it may be accounted unto them for righteousness.
I thank God for your obedience to sharing this. It is a blessing to hear these words out of the mouth of my sister.
God be with you,

Amen Tara.
Good word.
Mark 2:5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
James 5:14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

Faith is that very substance, thought sometimes it takes us a while to have childlike faith.

This word meant alot to me. Especially the following part:
Would I not pursue you with a most fervent love? My little ones, remember who I am. Keep Me close. Cast all your cares for I am faithful to your needs. Rest in Me and My peace and all will be well with your soul.
God is soo good. He is so faithful. It makes my heart well up realizing how much we are cared for, thought of. He wants us to walk upright, and with peace, because he loves us so.
Thank you for being faithful, so others are being blessed.
God Bless you Tara
