A Letter From Jesus…

All consuming. All devouring. Do not resent the fire. Do not run from what will refine you and perfect you. Many times you rebuke the evil one when the ground below begins to shake, but surely listen to my words. Take into careful consideration what I am about to announce. It isn’t the accuser who is shaking the ground you stand upon. No. It is I, the beginning and the end, the Alpha and Omega, the everlasting God, who is shaking your foundations. I have come to shake all things. I have come to disrupt the distractions in your life. I have come to set fire to the things that consume your mind and your heart. I have come to test the waters, to pave the way, to let down barriers and build bridges to a land you could not enter if it wasn’t for my mercy and grace. YES! Do you see the unmasking of deceptions? Are you beginning to understand what I am doing? I have come to divide the good from the evil in your heart. I have come to start a war to the things that steal your attention from mine. My desire toward you burns with compassion and love. For when my eyes are met with yours, my heart beats dangerously. You have billowed your praises to my throne room and I cannot stand to keep myself from you. No. I need to be with you and fill you with my holy presence. 

This intimacy is what you were made for. My fellowship is everlasting. Come and rest deep into my love. Press past doubt and do not allow your thoughts to tell you that I am not present before you. Surely I tell you as truth, your mind cannot comprehend the spiritual realm of what occurs around you when you praise my Holy name. There is a battle being made for your attention, for your heart. But I have placed a hedge of FIRE around you that no demon can penetrate.

A sword is being placed into your hand. Truth and honor are yours. Shall you speak and watch the mountains move? Shall you demand and watch the enemy flee? Shall you lavish your love upon me, and I to you? My child, all authority and power is in your possession  There is no need to ask for what you already obtain. My Son purchased your freedom, handed over His power, and poured out His Spirit. So much has been given as such an extravagant price. Surely you cannot comprehend such a thing, so this is why I require faith. Believe and receive. Believe and set free. Partake in the marriage feast. See? I have set a table before you in the presence of your foes. The divine occurrence of love shall be seen to all. I find it pleasing for them to watch as I serve you the meal of preparation to the Kingdom. I find it joyful to sit with you and delight in who you are to me. For when I say that I enjoy you, I mean just that. I truly enjoy you my beloved. As a husband loves his wife, so does my love run wild for you. Even more so than the natural affection of man. My love runs deeper, wider, stronger, more profound and robust than any earthly love. 

Prominence has been lifted. Your majesty awaits for your hand. Shall you step forward to the altar of grace? Shall you accept the invitation of this marriage? Surely you must attend…for you are the bride. The spotless bride who wears white before her King. My heart burns within my chest for you, my beloved. As we are one in the Father, so we are ONE in the Spirit. When I burn, so you shall as well. I say listen my beloved, listen to what I am saying. Be consumed by my all consuming fire. Let it burn within you for all the world to see. Surely no one can deny that you love me. Surely no one can subject you to criticism that you do not in fact know me. For I see your heart and I am reading your lips. They are set ablaze for my Name’s sake. And so all the world shall see what I have done. All the world shall now know of who I am. Burn for me and this world shall see me. Burn for me and this world shall KNOW me.

I have given you a platform of power to announce my coming and my going. I have given you a voice to proclaim to the nations that I soon shall return for my beloved church. Tell them all that I, the one who comes with clouds, shall return quickly and without hesitation. They shall see me and the Spirit will rejoice from within them. This is how they will know that it is I. For the Spirit leads in all truth. Surely I will come again. Wait and be ready. Wait and listen. I am closer than you think…

Under every lie of defeat, if you shall allow yourself to look a little deeper, you will always find the very fingerprints of Jesus, molding and perfecting all things for the good of those who love Him. 

Tonight I want you to know that God has made a way where there seemed to be no way. While you have been sitting, desolate and dry from the wavering of the world, the Lord is fighting on your behalf and moving mountains to pave the way. Your faith, although it may be small, is found pleasing in the eyes of God. He has not asked you to position yourself in abandonment so that you will have to take on this world in your own strength. No. He has surely not set you up to fail. Your Heavenly Father is shaking heaven into movement and shifting opportunities into full alignment as you pray for His will to be done. 

Do you conceive the power in that? 

Do you understand the divine extravagance in praying a robust prayer in the accordance of God’s perfect will?

You are partaking in spiritual perfection. You are moving as the hands and feet of Jesus. You are reflecting the Father. You are changing the path and the very shape of history. You are making a mark that no man can erase. 

Your purpose is so much greater, so much bigger, so much more DETAILED than you could ever comprehend. 

I need you to understand something tonight my friend, there are people…right now…who’s actual LIVES are going to change because you are living in God’s perfect will. No really. I seriously need you to grasp this and never let it go. Let tonight be the night that your mind fully perceives your true purpose and identity. God is going to use you to change the lives of others. Some of these people you may not ever actually meet, but nevertheless, they will be changed. They are depending on YOU to operate in your true, divine, purpose, and they don’t even realize it. But here’s the thing, they don’t need to realize it, the only one who needs to realize it…is you. 

Get before God tonight. Just bring yourself low, rest your face to your floor, and just whisper this to the heart of God…”Here I am Lord, send me.”

That’s it. Just tell Him tonight. No matter how crazy it may seem, no matter how impossible it will look, no matter how radical it will appear, just tell Him yes. The world is waiting on you. Everything weighs on your answer to God’s will for your life.

Will you let Him use you to bring Him glory?

Will you allow Him to use your life to save the lives of others?

Everything is willing to change in just ONE MOMENT.

All you have to say is yes.

Thank you so much for not only taking the time to read my blog, but also for writing this very encouraging post. It’s truly an honor to serve Him in all that I do, and it means so much to me that you see His fingerprints all over my page. Everything is for His glory. Hope you have a beautiful week!

Blessings,

Amy Basel

God has given us the distinct privilege  to step away from the things of this world, and dwell in a place of rest that is hidden from others. He has given us a personal invitation to partake in a journey that not many are willing to accept. But it’s so much more than a place of rest. It’s so much more than a hidden getaway. In the depths of His love and affirmation, this is where we find our confidence and identity. He has beckoned us to uncover His glory and in doing so, we inevitably find ourselves. Wrapped up in all that He is, we find all that we are. We are found as no less than perfection in His eyes. The vision of the Father sees red. His eyes are set upon the blood. When He sees us, He sees redemption paid at a price that was far too high for us to ever comprehend. It was out of our reach, so He lifted us upon His shoulders, carried us to the threshold of eternity, and showed us our worth. One look at the cross reminds us of death, but to stare at the marks upon the hands and feet of Jesus provokes us to rejoice in LIFE. 

We have every reason to rejoice. We have every reason to be thankful. We have every reason to love with the extravagant love He has showen to us all. I cannot help but to be so overcome with joy in this moment because not only did He save us with His life, but He fights for us every single day. He cares so deeply that we are protected. He goes out of His way to allow pain in our lives to be turned into passion. He releases us higher and higher as He makes our enemies as our footstool. He prepares a banquet table in the midst of our foes, and invites us to partake in intimate fellowship with no hindrances. He interceds for us at the right hand of the Father in His authority, and He patiently awaits His reward that was burned into His eyes which led Him to the cross.

He awaits us. 

Let our lips never stop giving Him praise. For He is worthy. 

Psalm 91

Not sure who this is for, but God put a special message on my heart to encourage someone today, so if you have about 10 minutes, take a look. Thanks n’ have a blessed day!

A Letter From Jesus…

Patience is found in my waiting. Your heart is being held in my hands. Never have I left you my dear and beloved one. For the light that leads you illuminates from my eyes. My eyes are always upon you and nothing you ever do goes unnoticed. Your heart beats for me, what more could I ask for? The very essence that keeps your body in existence, beats for me, the lover of your soul. Your life has been laid as a pure offering to glorify my name, and I have sent down fire to you so you shall burn for all to see! All consuming! Waves of abundant joy! For the fire that you burn with does not allow the wrong ones to get too close or they shall burn up! But the right ones who come close enough will soon catch fire with adoration and praise for my holy Name! Oh you’ve given up your life to fully receive my own! Yes! This is what my Father has always truly wanted! 

I see it as good that you have been chosen to rule and reign for my Kingdom’s sake! For all that I have is yours and all that you are is mine! I delight that you partake in this glorious exchange. I shall see to it that your name be found upon my lips. Surely I tell you that I speak of you to the angels and  always make sure you are protected! I take very seriously the matters of your heart. I move gently at the sound of your tears rolling down your face. I speak songs of love and affirmation to your very soul. I dance upon streets of gold as you rejoice in my Spirit!

This is what you were meant for. This is why you have been created. You are not some project or an object to be passed for all to see and follow. No. You are much, much more than that. You are my beloved. You hold my teachings as your standard of living. You walk in obedience to my Spirit’s prompting and leading. You are not afraid of what man might say about you for my Name’s sake. Your love for me runs ramped for all to see. You must know that you shall never go unnoticed in my eyes. You were created to be loved and the only One who can love you eternally and everlasting is I, Jesus, your Bridegroom and Savior. There is nothing I so desire more than you. I just want you. When all things fade, one thing shall always remain, and that is my love. I will never leave you, forsake you, harm you, speak evil of you, despise you, mock you, belittle you, use you, misplace you, forget you, or return you as an object no longer wanted. No. Eternity means forever and forever is where you shall roam.

Oh would you rest with me tonight? Would you turn off all of your distractions and begin to truly enjoy and lay in my presence? Come away with me and leave all of those things for now. They all can wait. For no one longs to be with you as I do. Come with me. I want to share my deepest secrets, if only you shall let me. Allow me to take you away and come enter into solitude completely by my side. I want to take you into new revelations of my love, new territory, new perspectives, new awakenings. I come and I knock. I shall wait, but would you answer? Oh the possibilities are endless with me! Won’t you say that you shall come?

I’ve lit the candles, the table is prepared, it is just you and I my beloved…

In Acts 16 Paul and Silas were chained to prison walls, but they lifted their voices and sang. The freedom they sang about was more real then the chains that held them. The walls of the prison had to bow to the reality of the freedom in their song. Not only did their song set them free, but it set all the prisoners free. Like birds released from their cage Paul and Silas flew out of their prison on the melodies they sang.

Sometimes I don’t think we realize how powerful worship really is…

I want you to close your eyes…

Slowly take in the deepest, breathe you can grasp for…

Hold it for a quick second, turn your thoughts toward God…

Then as you breathe out, I want you to say this…

“God is preparing me for greater things.”

Ok, now do it…I’ll wait…

____________________________

He really is.

Seriously think about that for a moment. God…the Almighty One…the same God that named Himself once and saw it fit to be known as, “I AM”…He is personally leaning down and whispering purpose into your heart in this very moment.

Why are you confused? God is preparing you for greater things.

Why do you feel desolate? God is preparing you for greater things.

Why do you LONG for more? God is preparing you for greater things.

Why are you WAITING? God is preparing you for greater things.

Don’t ever get comfortable where you are. Always live with expectancy that your atmosphere and all of your surroundings are getting ready to change. At any minute, your long awaited prayer could be suddenly right in front of you. You feel as if the days are mundane, but God is ready to shake you at your core. Seasons are called seasons merely because they are exactly that…SEASONS. Does winter last 365 days? Does fall do the same? Seasons are only meant for a certain appointed amount of time. So it is with the season you are currently in. Why? Because God is preparing you for greater things.

Let’s pray…

Father I thank You that Your mercy abounds. Our help comes from You and You alone. There is no other. Thank You God that this season we are in will soon come to an end to bring us into yet another season. Father let every seed that we sow in this season, bring a harvest of PLENTY in the next. For it says in Your Word that we are the head and not the tail, we are above and not beneath, we are the lender and we do not borrow. You see it fit that we ask for all things in Jesus name and it shall be given, so Lord I ask You for pure hearts aligned with the Holy Spirit to ask for the things of Your great will for our lives. Wherever we find ourselves tonight, God I ask you to install a spirit of WORSHIP into our hearts. Ordain our mouths with praise, oh God! Let us not waver or become weary in well doing, but let us bloom and prosper where we are planted! If we need to move, then move us Lord! If we need to stay, then plant our feet firmly in the ground! Your leadership has never failed us Lord, and we surrender our hearts, dreams, plans, and desires into Your perfect hands. Let all doubt be thrown aside! Let every tactic from satan return back to him as void! Let every vice be stripped in the precious name of Jesus! God we thank You that you have planned greater things for us, give us spiritual eyes and spiritual ears to hear You and move to Your leading. Your will be done, Father! Let all that we do, all that we say, and all that we desire to be, glorify Your Holy name oh Lord. Our hearts are thankful and we say, Holy Spirit, have Your way. In Jesus name, Amen. 

We are told to ignore the jealousy of others, but look at Gideon for a second.

^{Judges 7:9-14} That night the Lord said, “Get up! Go down into the Midianite camp, for I have given you victory over them! ¹⁰ But if you are afraid to attack, go down to the camp with your servant Purah. ¹¹ Listen to what the Midianites are saying, and you will be greatly encouraged. Then you will be eager to attack.”

So Gideon took Purah and went down to the edge of the enemy camp. ¹² The armies of Midian, Amalek, and the people of the east had settled in the valley like a swarm of locusts. Their camels were like grains of sand on the seashore—too many to count! ¹³ Gideon crept up just as a man was telling his companion about a dream. The man said, “I had this dream, and in my dream a loaf of barley bread came tumbling down into the Midianite camp. It hit a tent, turned it over, and knocked it flat!”

¹⁴ His companion answered, “Your dream can mean only one thing—God has given Gideon son of Joash, the Israelite, victory over Midian and all its allies!”

God told him to listen in on the gossip of his enemies and to be ENCOURAGED, and when he did, he realized something crucial: while he was in fear of being too weak to conquer them, they were terrified because of the strength given to him by the Lord.

If you face jealousy from those around you, take that as a sign that God has placed something in you that you might not even see yourself! People are not jealous of other people who have nothing! 

Now unto the lamb who sits on the throne
Be glory and honor and praise
All of creation resounds with the song
Worship and praise him the Lord of Lords

I have come to know very well that there is an amazing peace that arrives when you decide to worship God despite the storm that is surrounding you. To worship God in Spirit and in Truth means to truly lose yourself while magnifying Him. There is a profound beauty that takes place when you partake specifically in corporate worship, in a crowded room, yet feel as if you are all by yourself. It’s just you and the King. Something just happens. The Spirit tells your flesh to step aside and right there in that very moment you are completely exposed before the one true God. No veil is hindering your view, no obstacle has been placed before you, no religious ritual to operate, it’s just creation standing before the Creator completely and totally surrendered.

The thing is, we were created to worship God. It’s in our DNA. He breathes out, we breathe in. One does not operate fully without the other. The act of worship isn’t to obtain a feeling, to witness a miracle, to impress a person, or to obtain some sort of personal gain. It’s not about us at all. The act of worship is to magnify something that truly has captured our heart. That to me is what worship is. Whether you worship through song, dance, drawing, painting, preaching, or just simply living, make sure of one thing: that you are worshiping God and magnifying Him and Him alone. No other idol can stand in His place or overshadow Jesus. 

So, I guess what made me even write all of this is the simple fact that I love to worship God. I love to dance before Him, I love to pour my heart out before Him, I love to sing in the Spirit, I just LOVE honoring Him. Half the time I don’t even need music, I’ve learned to stop relying on worship music as a crutch and instead worship and sing to God in the silence. It breaks the barriers off of expectancy and leaves you to move and not quench the Holy Spirit. I love that. I guess that is what happens when you receive new revelation every single day of who God is and what Jesus did for us on that cross. I pray that we as the body of Christ never grow weary or bored in this. I pray that we will always have awe-stricken fear before His throne. Let us never lose sight of His majesty. There are infinite sides to who God is and we will spend eternity worshiping Him as He constantly reveals His glory. It’s amazing to me that we actually get to spend eternity like this. Honestly leaves me speechless…

A Letter From Jesus

Allow me to press an indentation onto your heart. For one moment in my Presence will leave a lasting mark on you for all to see! A mark that shall never leave! You want my fullness and I see your heart ache for my presence, but will you fully allow yourself to let go? I need from you a pure heart. Do not stress, worry, grumble, lie, or hold grudges in any day of your life. Perish the thoughts of others and focus on me. I want so much for you to know me and the fullness of my glory! Run towards me, never looking side to side, up or down. But keep your eyes focused on me and me alone. I will never leave you or forsake you! Hold my hand and allow me to lead you into territory unseen. I am taking you into places many have never seen before. Do you have faith in me? Do you trust that I am leading you? Pray to me and tell me your heart’s desires. My child, all of your desires will come to pass, just trust me. You have trouble believing that what I say is true, but oh my mercy on you is deep! For those who seek me shall find me, and those who thirst shall alway be fulfilled! Believe!

I want you intimately. I don’t want you conveniently. I want you in the struggle. I want you when you feel weak. I want you when the world doesn’t. I want you, my beloved. I want you and all that you have to offer. Though you tarry, I want you. Though your love for me wavers, I want you even more. My love is enough for us both, but you shall love me back. This is what I desire. For you put me first in all things. This overwhelms my heart. Beloved, you have captured my gaze and my eyes see only your beauty. When others look past you, I’ve been watching you intently. When others turn a deaf ear to your voice, I am listening intensively. Don’t you see? Have you not heard? I spilled my blood to purchase your heart! Our covenant is blood bought and nothing shall render this transaction as void! Shall you take this crown? Would you accept this gift as my pure and spotless Bride? This Crown is yours for the taking my beloved. I said my lips shall not taste the vine of celebration until you meet me for the marriage supper. This promise I have kept well. Oh rejoice my beautiful one! White as snow you have been washed, as bright as the sun your face has shown!

Arise my love! Meet me here in the resting place where you and I shall partake in the vows of eternal matrimony. Better are the days a head for you. Just as a husband protects his wife, I protect you. Just as Eve was taken from the rib under Adam’s arm, so you shall rest gently under mine. I fight for you. I won the battle for you. Life is a celebration of our love. Partake and be glad! I have called you by name, and you are mine! See the marks upon my hands? Won’t you look at the wounds upon my feet? I was pierced for excellence of the heart. Not just any heart, but your heart. No man took my life, for I gave it freely! No one could steal it from me, I laid it down as a pure and spotless offering! To live in eternity without you was the only suffering I could see. Come to me and realize your worth, my beloved. Allow me to tell you what I see. Allow me to tell you the heart of the Father when He created you! Come closer and lean into my heart. You have wanted to know your purpose, so I am giving you the answer. Your purpose is to be close to me. This is where you belong. 

A Letter From The Father…

My peace is given freely to my people if only they shall believe they have already obtained it. My peace was inherited through my blood. Oh how I wish my children knew what is rightly theirs. A greater measure of my calling for you is being released, my child. A greater measure of my anointing has been given to you to operate in. This I find pleasing because in all things, if you ask in my Name, you shall receive. Freely I have given, so freely you shall give. Never mistake knowledge for Truth. The two are two entirely different and separate things when it comes to my Kingdom. You can gain all knowledge of my Word, but it demonstrates Truth to act forth on my Word in faith. Do you see the difference in this? For I tell you, not many do. Acts 17 and 18 show forth my power in full existence. Never did they doubt or worry. With my spirit fully operating in them, they acted forth as true disciples and servants of The Father. Righteous are the ways of those who point out the ways of the wicked. You shall be hated and condemned for this, but better is it for you to denounce evil by speaking and living Truth. Let your life be a true testimony for my goodness and glory! Surely people will delight to see this because when they see you living a pure and righteous life, they will then see me. 

Do not be afraid of the world around you, for they cannot harm you, but I will show you my ways to save. It is better that you are covered right now my child. You do not need to be subject to this cruel world yet. For surely I tell you that when I do send you out, it will be a world packed with raging and ravaging wolves. They will not want to hear the Truth you speak because the Holy Spirit will convict them. But I say stand tall my bold and courageous one! Never shall you fear of being defeated. For surely I tell you that I am with you always even to the very end of the age! Do not be weary when you see the world grow colder and without love. For your love I have chosen to shine on when others grow weary and weak. The wisdom and knowledge that shall come from my hand will lift you high!

Times of trials may occur in life, but your true joy is found in me. This you have come to know very well. I am very proud of you my child! Indeed you listen to my voice and move by complete and total obedience. I find this pleasing and shall reward you properly and accordingly.  Abide in me in all of your ways and you shall soon see the greater things that I have purposed. You are apart of my bigger plan. You have been grafted into the design to change this world. A time will come when more shall be revealed, but until then, love me, serve me, and change this world while you are in your waiting.
