Words of Wisdom: Have Mercy On Me Lord

Consecration and Scripture Reference:

Teachings:

My life has been a roller coaster of trials and tribulations over the last few months.  The last 7 days have proven to be worse yet.  All these things have been allowed by God to teach me how to trust and love Him more.  All that I teach, I must first live.  When I live it, it then becomes my testimony and no one can alter or cause me to deny that which I have personally endured.  I am grateful to God for being my friend.  In the midst of all matters of life, I still find the teachings of God to be true and everlasting.  If you follow the truths below, you will ALWAYS prevail over darkness.  As I endured the darkness that was before me, I followed the steps below which I now pass on to you.  Study the scriptures and make them your own.  Amen.

Always repent before the Lord…daily.  When you pray, assume that you have sinned in some manner, even if you do not know the specifics.  This cannot be a routine that is not genuine.  It cannot be half-hearted.  God will read your heart to see if your repentance is genuine.  See the words of Psalm 51 below. Use this as your daily guide with the goal of God restoring a “Clean Heart” within you.

Worship God in spirit and in truth.  God is Spirit and is all “Truth.”  There is no evil or darkness within Him.  God does not need us constantly begging for stuff and things in life.  All we need to do is “honestly” Worship Him! See the scriptures below.  When we worship God, darkness cannot remain in our lives.  True worship is a product of true love.

  • 1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. 4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. 5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. 6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. 7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. 9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. 12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. 13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. 14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. 15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise. 16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. 18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem. 19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.  (Psalms 51:1-19)

  • 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.  (John 4:23-24)

  • 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.  (John 14:16-17)

  • 13 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. 14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.  (John 16:13-15)

God Hear Our Prayer:

Dear Lord, my God, how awesome is your wisdom and knowledge.  Thank you, Father, for loving me better than I could ever love myself.  Thank you, LORD GOD, for the protective arm that you place around your children as the enemy rages close by.  Most of all, I thank you today for the revelation you have provided of the mysterious image I saw in the sky as I traveled through the mountains.  I love you, LORD GOD, for all that you are and I pray, LORD, that you will always direct my paths.  As I embrace this day, I need you to be with me every second.  Let the meditations of my heart be forever of thee, O LORD.  Today, I worship you and you alone.  Teach me thy ways, Father, so I can always be within your perfect will.  I give you my heart today and openly declare my everlasting love for you.  You are the greatest Friend that I have ever had.  Help me to always remain as loyal to you as you are to me.

Allow those that see or hear this revelation, LORD, to receive it as being from You, Father. Help them, Lord, to not lean upon their own understanding and to know that you are still speaking to your people and all souls that are willing to hear.  I give you all the honor and glory this day and ask, LORD, that you Dissect My Soul.  Amen, Amen and AMEN.

Divine Revelation and Wisdom of God

Dear Students and Followers of Dissect My Soul Ministries, I greet you today in the name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who is the Living Son of God.  I pray that you will do all that you can to right the wrongs in your lives in order to conform to the perfect will of God.  This is my prayer not only for you, but also for me.  Amen.

I bring to you today the revelation of God regarding a very unusual cloud that I witnessed a few days ago.  I asked God at the time I saw this strange phenomenon to explain to me what I saw…if it was His will that I know.  This morning, as I labored in prayer and worship with God, He explained what I saw.  It was not a vision, as some of you might think.  My companion driver saw this image of the cloud and the darkened shadow just as I did.  See God’s revelation below:

“Zelma, my Child, hear my words of Wisdom and explanation of what you saw near the mountain.  There was no shadow.  There was an unusual cloud that you witnessed on the backside of the mountain.  My Spirit prevailed in the cloud.  I only hovered over a portion of the mountain which was that portion filled with light.  I am all light.  There is no darkness within Me.  The shadow that appeared on the mountain that had not my light was that part of the mountain that was missing my Presence.  So it is with the world around you.  When I am not present, artificial light appears to the natural eye and gives all men a false sense of comfort.  If they have never known the light that I AM, they do not even know they are in darkness.  This is what breaks my heart.  They say that I am there with them when I am not.  They say this because they have not yet known Me.  As you saw the dark shadowy mountains looming ahead, so do I see the darkness that is prevailing over those who claim to know Me.  How long must I wait?  When will they truly love Me?  I am the Almighty God that can provide all things.  Yet I am not loved as God Almighty!  Should I leave the whole world in darkness since they love their lives and their own wisdom more than Me?  It is my desire that ALL men should know Me and love Me.  Tell them to “consider” the mountains that you witnessed.  Do they want to live in the shadow of darkness cast by the spirit of evil or do they desire to rest in my Presence and be gathered into my arms that provide perpetual light?  Remember that “I Am that I Am that I Am” and always will be.  Tell them my child…Tell them that I am the LORD!”

Scripture Reference and Consecration:

As you read the scriptures below, place yourself in the story as either the person being spoken to, the one being disobedient, or the one being blessed.  Make it personal to your life. Remember that even though the scriptures explain to you the character of God and how He handled or spoke to the people of that time, it only becomes relevant to you if you become the character in the story and seek to follow the character of God.  This prevents each of us from “pretending” that we are better than those being spoken to.  Amen.

Also notice that God always had an independent message for the people.  Know that He is still speaking to us today. We make God a liar when we say that He is not able to speak and reveal to His people today.  Seek God for further understanding of the revelation that is stated herein.  Remain blessed in the Lord Forever.  Amen.

  • And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee. (Deut. 28:29)
  • The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law. (Deut. 29:29)
  • 1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? 2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. (Isaiah 53: 1-3)
  • 19 Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven. 20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: 21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: 22 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him. 23 I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king’s matter. (Dan. 2:19-23)

God Hear Our Prayer:

Dear LORD, my great and awesome God.  Thank you, Father, for yet another opportunity to stand before your throne that is filled with Grace and Mercy.  Grace that abounds bountifully within my heart and Mercy that looks beyond my sinful flesh and responds to my every spiritual need.  To Thee, O God, do I bow down and worship your Holy Name!

Even as I love you, Lord, I see the walls caving in around me, O my God!  I see the world going mad in its zeal to know all things.  I see the Churches entering the race for prestige and wisdom…without seeking your face.  Even as I see the devastating things of this world, as you have allowed me to see, My LORD, I experience the comfort of being held in your loving arms.  It is here, LORD, that I, even I, enjoy your powerful peace and the glory and majesty of your holy presence!  Because you shower me with your everlasting Love, O God, I have no fear of the horrible things that I see.  Thank you, LORD, for loving me more than I could ever love myself.  I know, Sweet Jesus, that it is because of your love that I am able to stand.  Thank you for teaching me how to love.  Amen.

Today LORD, as always, I pray for Dissect My Soul Ministries’ Disciples and Followers.  I bring them with me, before your throne, O God.  I pray that you will shower them with your everlasting love and protection.  They are like “Lambs,” O Lord, that are willing to follow your every direction.  They have been allowed to witness much on this journey to live for You alone, Lord God.  They have seen the many miracles that you have performed and they have witnessed the attempted destruction by your enemy against us all, O LORD.  Many have come and gone, but these, O God, are still standing!  Thank you for their faithfulness to You and the Ministry that you have given us.  Keep us forever humbled before you, O Lord.  Help us to continuously know that without you, we are weak and powerless.  Help us, Father, to continue to walk in Faith, understanding that with You, O God, we are capable of doing all things in your name.

As I humble myself in your presence today, Father, I have “Considered” as Your Spirit has directed.  O God, what a thought!  To consider my life without you brings tears to my eyes; to consider ever that I must stand alone in this battle is fearful indeed; to consider that the God that is God of ALL things in heaven, in the earth, and in the sea beneath the earth, “loves” me, provides me with a greater faith, strength, and the assurance that I can endure to the end.  To be “Considered” by you, Dear God, is to make you proud and give you joy.  I have “Considered” You, as You continuously “Consider” me!  To this end, My Everlasting Friend and Savior, I do submit my TOTAL being to You in Love.  Amen, Amen and Amen.

Scripture Reference for Consecration:

Dear Christian Friends, know that God, the Almighty God, loves you and me!  Have you ever “Considered” life without God? Looking at the world alone without the presence of God…where would we be?  True Believers are to live by the words of the LORD.  We cannot govern our existence here on earth without submitting our hearts unto the LORD.  Many say that they know the Lord, and do not.  Others say they can live sinful lives and still be saved, but the word of God does not support this view.

Let us prayerfully study the Word and make a conscious choice to find our way to the throne of God.  Become a character in the story as you “Consider” the scriptures below:

  • Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.  (Prov 30:5)
  • Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.  I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.  (Isaiah 45:22-23)
  • Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.  (Psalms 119:160)
  • I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word. (Psalms 119:101)
  • But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. (Matt 4:4)

God Hear Our Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, my God Almighty, this day I submit my will unto thee.  I ask for forgiveness, Lord God, for anything that I might have said or done against thee.  Today I honor and worship you, O Lord.

Today, God, I saw a very interesting thing.  I saw a thing that has caused me to worship you even more.  Please help me understand, Lord Jesus.  I was traveling on the interstate in a mountainous area.  As a passenger in the car, I found myself “considering” the mountains, the sky, the clouds, and the wind!  O Lord, have mercy on my soul.

As the mountains loomed ahead and around, I saw a shadow slowly cover the major hilltops.  Some of the mountains were greatly lightened with brightness, but, O God, there was a “shadow” that covered a major portion of the hilltop.  I looked into the sky to see what was visible that could be casting such a strange shadow.  There was no cloud nearby.  In fact, there were no clouds…except a small oddly shaped figure in the sky above.  It stood afar off from the hilltop, as if gazing on from the inside out.  The closer I drew nearer to the mountains, the darker and more pronounced the shadow became.  Though my natural mind saw nothing out of the ordinary, my inner spirit began to reveal much more.  I instantly knew that a war was raging in the spiritual realm!  Lord, I did not understand.  All I knew was that your wonders of the world continue to amaze me.

As I entered the backside of the mountain, the most incredible sight was hovering over the top of the mountain.  It was a cloud…a very unusual cloud.  It was oval-shaped and had multiple layers that stacked upon each other.  It looked almost transparent as if each layer stood alone yet was mingled as one.  It was not very big, but it was the source of the shadow that was covering the mountain side!  The wind was blowing profusely and leaves on the nearby trees were waving in the wind.  It was truly an amazing sight, Dear Lord!

What did I see?  How could it affect one part of the mountain and not the other?  This whole experience helped me to see, once again, that the things we trust in this world may or may not be worthy of our trust.  The things created by you for mankind to rely upon, we forsake. Forgive me, Father, for my rejection of you in any way.  I might not ever understand the experience I had, but I will forever be grateful that you continue day by day to perfect the things around us.  Thank you, LORD God, for your love and protection.

Teach me, Lord, always.  Help me to remain open to all that you have.  Pour your Holy Spirit within my mind and help me to always be open to your wisdom, Father.  I pray, Lord God, for Dissect My Soul members, students, and followers.  Strengthen them, Lord, each day.  They are seeking your presence, Lord, so that we might ALL be in one accord with you.  You know my heart and my prayer for each of them individually, so I pray that your perfect will can prevail in our lives.  We know, Lord God, that it is through your perfect will that we are able to stand.  Amen, Amen and Amen.

Scripture Reference for Consecration:

Dear Believers in Christ Jesus.  NEVER take God for granted.  He is our only hope in all things.  His arms are outstretched and waiting for us all to love Him unconditionally. Please read and consider the words below.  He who hath an ear to hear, let him hear what the Lord is saying.  Amen.

  • 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the  Spirit. (John 3:6-8)
  • God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. (John 4:24)
  • Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof. 6 Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. 7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. 8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them. 9 He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it. 10 He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end. 11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof. 12 He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud. 13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent. 14 Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand? (Job 26:5-14)

Words of Wisdom: Children of God

red rose on a bible page

Words of Wisdom and Scripture Reference:

Today, God spoke an awesome truth that, although I knew, I realized I did not know it as God wanted me to know and understand it.  I now share this teaching with you.  You might receive the words with your mind and miss the blessing, so seek the face of God for the true spiritual implications of the referenced scriptures and explanation provided.

A portion of my study today was in Deuteronomy 26.  This led me to other chapters about the intent of God and the role He expects to play in our lives.  It has never been the intent of God for Him to simply be the God of our fathers, but rather that He should be Our God! He made the first correction of this problem with the Israelites as presented in the study of the book of Deuteronomy.  Even before we accept Him as our God, He showers us with His Love and protection.  Then…He expects us to make a choice as He did with Israel.  We have to make a choice to accept or reject Him as our God.  When we choose God as OUR God, we enter into a covenant relationship with Him as Father and Keeper of our souls.  This covenant relationship hinges on our willingness to repent and obey His laws.

God had to move Israel from a dependent relationship with Him to a personal relationship of choice.  Those who agreed to repent and obey became his people, and He became their God! This new relationship allowed them to enter into a covenant with God whereby they became beneficiaries of the blessings or curses explained.

As we read the holy scriptures today, we face the same choices.  We must look at the bible as a detailed “history” of the workings of God as He dealt with His people.  We see many gods spoken of in the bible, and we have to decide what we believe and do not believe. If we conclude that Jehovah God is GOD, we must “choose” Him as our God.  When we choose Him, He requires of us the same thing as He did with Israel.  We must accept His “Truths” as our way of life.  We must agree to follow and obey His Truths.  We must repent if we have failed to follow Him after knowing what we should do!  When we repent, He searches the heart to see if our words are valid.  It is the heart that is judged and not the mouth.  When we are true to God, He grants us the right to be called the “children of God.” As you expect your earthly children to follow and obey you, so it is with our LORD.

All relationships with God hinge upon the truthfulness of our repentant hearts.  The promises of the bible do not belong to us until we become “People of God” and He becomes our GOD!  In addition to the scriptures below, please read, study, and pray through Deuteronomy 26-31.  Amen.

Scripture References:

  • 5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. (1 John 1:5-10)
  • 1 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. 2 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. 3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. (1 John 3:1-10)

Thoughts: LORD, I Give You My Whole Heart For The Rest Of My Life

/in /by

Mark 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

The Bible teaches us many things, but there is one penetrating theme that is echoed throughout…Love the LORD God with ALL your heart! This principle is spoken of by most believers who declare that they practice this love continuously. The problem is that most of the Christian world is clueless to what it means to truly love God or to surrender the whole heart. We have become accustomed to saying things which conform to the scripture without experiencing what is required. I personally judge no one and simply state that which God Himself has revealed.

To truly grasp the understanding of what it means to surrender the whole heart to the LORD, we must understand the spiritual world. We must know that things are not as they seem or evidenced by what we see with our natural eyes. What we see is not always what is! There is an enemy of God whose purpose is to confuse us and draw us away from the truth of who God is. This enemy is the Devil, Satan, and/or all forces of evil.  Again, without a clear experience of the holy spiritual realm, my comments will not be materialized in your hearts.

Know for a certainty that God created mankind to forever be in His presence; to rely on Him always. The evil forces of this world have taught man to not trust God by teaching self-reliance. Remember, Satan is all about Self! When you find yourself acting upon what is best for you alone, step back and question your motives. Always seek the face of the LORD God. Even if you do not have a personal relationship with the LORD and don’t know how to proceed, if you honestly want to know who He is, just ask. God WILL respond to all honest requests to know Him. I promise you…I guarantee you…, if you honestly and truly seek the LORD to develop a personal relationship with Him, it will be granted! Your request will be judged by God alone based on the contents and desires of your heart. What you proclaim with your mouth will not be received if the words spoken are not equivalent to what’s in the heart. God alone will discern the intent of the heart. Give the LORD your heart today and live the life you were created to live!

Be Blessed Always…
