Words of Wisdom and Scripture:

Greetings to all.  Over the past month, I have experienced the love and protection of the LORD like never before.  I have been tried and tested beyond measure, and yet am I standing.  I found myself in situations of confusion, hurt, and harm with no way out and nowhere to go.  Everything that I have ever believed was challenged.  I found that I could not pray and I could not even read the Word of God.  All I could do was “remember.”  I remembered that I had a God that loves me more than words can ever express!  I remembered that God promised me that He would always be with me and would never leave me!  I could not see Him…I could not hear Him, and O how my soul ached for His arms.  But…I could remember.  I held on to the power of the mystery of WISDOM.  I remembered that God had already given me understanding of the meaning, relevance and power of WISDOM!  This is what saved me during this difficult time.

Once again, God has allowed me to suffer as the enemy was granted access to my life.  When things go wrong, and it seems that there is no hope, remember, remember and then continue to remember!  Amen.  Believe all that you remember and know that God is there trusting that you will always remember all that He has taught you.  I pray now that you have teachings in your “Soul” that you too can remember.  Get Wisdom and hold Her in your heart.  Receive Her and you will find all answers to life.  When you are restored you will come though stronger than ever before.  Tonight, I dry my eyes.  Tonight I prevailed in the LORD.  Tomorrow is another day and may the LORD continue to have mercy on my soul. Amen.

Scripture Reference:

5 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. 6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. 7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. 8 Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her. 9 She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee. 10 Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many. 11 I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths. 12 When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble. 13 Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.  (Prov 4:5-13)

God Hear Our Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, I come before your throne of Grace and Mercy this day.  I come, Lord God, just to experience your presence.  It is in your presence that I long to stay.  I am safe from all danger when I am with you, Lord. Each day, as I smell the sweet savor of your breath, Dear LORD, I am so glad that you have shown me how to walk and talk with You.  You have taught me what it means to be a wife, a mother, and a friend.  In all my educated wisdom, loving you has taught me that I knew nothing at all before I met you.  For all this and more, my God, I am grateful.

I am still “Considering” you, O LORD.  There are so many things that we look upon with our natural eyes and mind and we marvel at the wonder of it all not realizing its spiritual significance.  The Bible teaches us, Lord, that you made the sun, the moon, and that you also made the stars.  These heavenly entities will one day pass away.  They were created to bring light in the midst of darkness for a given period of time for the benefit of mankind.  Man has developed ways to capture, worship, and even improve earthly knowledge.  We act in ignorance because we know not what they are.  O LORD, have mercy on us!  Forgive our sinfulness and our desire to be so intellectually superior to others that we prove ourselves truly ignorant before you instead.

I understand the cries of King Solomon when he declared, “Vanity of Vanities, all is Vanity.”  Seeing the world through your eyes, Father, creates doom in the eyes of the beholder, yet it brings joy everlasting when one realizes that he has been “saved” from the dangers of the battle that is raging all around!  O God, sometimes it feels like walking through the valleys and shadows of death with the enemy pulling on all sides.  But, O, in the midst of it all, even in the light of the dangers that are seen, you still remain God Almighty.  You still provide unspeakable peace.  By your Mercy, LORD, I have “Considered” all the workings of the world under the sun, and I am grateful that you protect those that love you.  Oh how I love you, Lord God!  Help me to never stop loving you, Father God.  Amen.

I pray now, Lord God, for the faithful followers you have given me.  Help them to continue to seek your presence, Lord.  Keep them safe from danger and hold them close as they seek your wisdom.  Help me to stand for them, Lord, when they cannot stand.  Help us all to remain on one accord while following your directions to us, Father.  Make us all one in your sight and continue to Dissect our souls, Dear Lord.  Shed your sweet loving Holy Ghost upon us, I pray.  Amen.

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.

Words of Encouragement and Consecration:

Many declare that they desire the wisdom of God.  True Wisdom brings revelation knowledge directly from the LORD.  God has revealed many mysteries of His Holy Word to me.  Some were very frightening indeed.  As I fearfully pondered one such mystery, God consoled my soul by explaining that it was what I needed to know in order to move forward as His Messenger.  He asked me to read the scriptures that are shown below.  He pointed out to me that I was not alone in what I had discovered, and that when King Solomon discovered the same mystery.  He too, was distraught to the point that he declared, “Vanity of Vanities, all is Vanity.”  He, like I, came to know and understand that even in the midst of the darkest and most dangerous journeys, God never leaves us alone.  We never become lonely, and He always brings us to a place of safety and peace.  In our lack of understanding and fear, we ultimately conclude that our minds and knowledge are insufficient in trying to cope with what awaits all those that do not love God.

In all that you do, Trust God.  There is nothing good in this life outside of God.  There is no existence or survival without God on your side.  Make Him your everyday companion.  Seek Him every second of the day!  He will teach you how to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth…and as One.  Amen.

Scripture Reference: Eccl 1:12-18

12 I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem. 13 And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith. 14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit. 15 That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered. 16 I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge. 17 And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit. 18 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

Prayers: Praise and Worship In the Presence of God

God Hear Our Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, O how I love you, Lord God!  The deeper my love for you becomes, the more I realize that I do not know you…not ALL of you! You are more than a mind can ever imagine. Continue to stretch my understanding and my love for you on every level, my LORD.  With every revelation of who you are, the more I realize the vastness of your being.  Only a God that is God can be so multifaceted.  There is nothing common about you.  With every round of glory exposed, there is yet 100 more rounds to go!  How awesome you are, Dear LORD.  Thank you for your teachings and presence in my life.  When I am with you at the start of each day, I want nothing but to stay in your presence forever and worship you as God.  How great is the sweet savor of your breath and the all-blinding glow of your righteousness.  When you push me away to begin my day, it is always with the assurance that you will remain present every second and guide me as I go.  I leave “drunk” from your holy presence and find that it takes time to gather myself to visually see and understand where I am!  Worshipping you, LORD, reaches deep into my Soul!  O Lord, Dissect My Soul.  I offer this prayer, Lord, for all those that read it and especially for those that accept the words in their hearts as their own prayer to you.  Amen.

I pray, Heavenly Father, that the students received the wisdom that you provided yesterday as revealed from the book of Deuteronomy.  I have read this book so many times, but never received it as I did yesterday.  Thank you, Lord, for always knowing what we need at specific times in our lives.  I surrender my heart and soul to you this day and accept you all over again as the greatest love of my life.  Have mercy on me, Father God.

Continue to bless the disciples of Dissect My Soul Ministries and all its followers and students. Particularly bless the people that have joined our “Love Jesus” Movement.  Help us, LORD, and guide us in uniting the whole world in loving you completely.  Teach us to worship you in truth and in spirit as you have commanded.  It is your requirement that we love you in this way, Father, since you are Spirit!  The words of the Holy Scriptures prove that this demand is critical to developing an intimate relationship with you since you communicate with us ONLY by Spirit to spirit.  When our spirit communicates with your Spirit, we then become one with you, Lord.  Thank you, Father, that there is no other way.  Thank you that the way to you has been made available for all people.  The race, color, or gender does not matter.  Every created soul can find you if it chooses to, and every soul can fall in love with you, if such a one is willing to succumb to your perfect will!  Thank you for the assurance that you are willing to be the God of all that are willing to “be your people.”  Keep me as your people, LORD, and please remain as My GOD!  Amen, Amen and AMEN.

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 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)

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…
