JESUS JOY

E

EVERYDAY in every season, He’s the One for me!

S

SHEPHERD (not just Good, the Best)–He keeps His sheep well; ever watchful, He feeds, leads tenderly…

U

UNTIL He returns, His chosen wait eagerly…

S

SON of GOD, SAVIOR of the World, SEEKER of the Lost, Light in the darkness, Healer, Truth, Teacher, Counselor, Advocate, God’s Word made flesh… ~ and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Freedom.

He freely gives grace, mercy, wisdom, and more–in abundant supply.  Whatever you need, HE’s got it ~ don’t be shy, He’s approachable, full of Love.  Just ASK, SEEK, KNOCK–He will always answer, His arms are open wide.

How do I know any of this?  Glad you asked, because I’m not making it up!  In 2011, during Holy Week, I was visited by the Trinity: Father, Son, Holy Ghost (Spirit).  I saw them as though from a distance–the way you’d see and recognize someone coming toward you on a foggy day.

They stood together in the northwest corner of my living room, and Father God spoke as clearly as my best friend in IL would.  He said, “you’ve had a difficult time, your years have not been easy–wouldn’t you like to have the Abundant Life My Son died to give you?”

I said YES!  That was my first Best Easter, I will never forget it–and I’ve been beyond-grateful ever since.  I’ve told my story to lots of people and no one has ever expressed disbelief (suggesting I was delusional or spinning a tale from “wild imagination”). 

Every single person has said they felt goosebumps; they knew that my Jesus and the Visitation was the real deal.  HE has forgiven me much, healed me of some things.  He is my strength and courage to face each day…and His Presence fills me with JOY.  Just thought you might like to know😊

Amplified Bible
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty [emancipation from bondage, true freedom]. 2 Corinth 3:17

9“So I say to you, ask and keep on asking, and it will be given to you; seek and keep on seeking, and you will find; knock and keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. 10For everyone who [h]keeps on asking [persistently], receives; and he who keeps on seeking [persistently], finds; and to him who keeps on knocking [persistently], the door will be opened. Luke 11:9-10

Amplified Bible Portions of Book of John

And the Word (Christ) became flesh, and lived among us; and we [actually] saw His glory, glory as belongs to the [One and] only begotten Son of the Father, [the Son who is truly unique, the only One of His kind, who is] full of grace and truth (absolutely free of deception). John 1:14

2 He who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep [the protector and provider]. 3 The [a]doorkeeper opens [the gate] for this man, and the sheep hear his voice and pay attention to it. And [knowing that they listen] he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out [to pasture]. 4 When he has brought all his own sheep outside, he walks on ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice and recognize his call. 5 They will never follow a stranger, but will run away from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”

7 So Jesus said again, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, I am [b]the Door for the sheep [leading to life]. 8 All who came before Me [as false messiahs and self-appointed leaders] are thieves and robbers, but the [true] sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the Door; anyone who enters through Me will be saved [and will live forever], and will go in and out [freely], and find pasture (spiritual security). 10 The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows].

11[c] I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd [d] lays down His [own] life for the sheep.   14 I am the Good Shepherd, and I know [without any doubt those who are] My own and My own know Me [and have a deep, personal relationship with Me]– 15 even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father–and I lay down My [very own] life [sacrificing it] for the benefit of the sheep. 16 I have [e]other sheep [beside these] that are not of this fold. I must bring those also, and they will listen to My voice and pay attention to My call, and they will become [f]one flock with one Shepherd.
