I AM is here

I see your silent suffering Beloved. I know about your invisible suffering. I see and hear what noone else sees or hears. I feel the ebb and flow of life in the atmosphere. I am not a God far off. I am closer than you know.

I have been walking with you, standing by you, sitting next to you all your life long but you look to another. This companion of Fear that has taken up residence in your life steals your attention from Me. Your eyes fix upon that dark shadow of Fear. You hang on his every word, memorising every word he speaks to you. Beloved, My heart burns with an intense jealousy for you. The flames of passion intensify with every breath you take. I am here. All the time I am here yet you do not look My way. You look to Fear and listen intently to him.

My heart burns with a holy passion; a raging fire consumes Me. This jealousy is as strong as the grave.

“Put me like a seal over your heart, Like a seal on your arm. For love is as strong as death, Jealousy is as severe as Sheol; Its flashes are flashes of fire, The very flame of the LORD. “Many waters cannot quench love, Nor will rivers overflow it; If a man were to give all the riches of his house for love, It would be utterly despised.” SoS 6:6,7

I will not permit this unholy presence to dwell with My Love any longer. I am banishing Fear for he is a stench to Me. The green slime spilling out on his words lays a trap for your feet. You cannot move forward for each time you take a step you slip over. The slime clings to your legs and nourishes the weeds growing around you. The weeds have wrapped themselves tightly around your legs to trip you and hold you captive. I burn with a holy anger; this raging fire will not go out. I will burn it all up; the weeds, the slime and Fear itself.

I came to you as you asked but your love was divided. Your love for Me was strong but you listened to another. You were afraid of the stranger’s voice so you became his slave. I have sung you many love songs, many songs in the night but you did not hear. You did not listen. You put your hand against your ear to tune Me out so that you could hear what Fear spoke to you. You thought you could protect yourself by listening to Fear’s plans for your life and adjusting your life accordingly. But you are in bondage. My Love is in bondage! See how I weep that you have missed My love songs I sung especially for you! They were specifically for you My love, not for another. And you did not hear. But now I will silence this foul enemy of Fear. I will cut him off from you, I will end this morbid relationship you have with him and lead you in a dance. I will win your heart again My love, I must lavish My love on you for I cannot keep it to Myself, My love for you has to be poured out.

Fear, you must now distance yourself from My love. I will put distance between you and My Beloved so that when she hears you shouting out plots, plans, panic and torment she will only vaguely remember you and the relationship you had with her. She will hear the panic in your voice and laugh, for torment belongs to you and not to her. It will not hold her captive any longer nor lead her in a morbid dance of sliding around on your slime. Fear, you are tied and nailed to the cross and you cannot climb down! You are a filthy stain on a splintered cross and that is all. I am angry that you lied to My Beloved but now I shall fill her mind with Truth. Her lips will praise Me. She will not try to silence Me. She will hear Me speak and know that it is I – the I AM – speaking. I have much to say and you will not silence Me nor drown Me out! I AM the I AM! HA! This will be the reason for My Beloved to rejoice. For I AM her I AM! I will share My heart with her and I will not share her with another.

My Love, I AM is here.

Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death,
its jealousya unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame.b
7Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot sweep it away.
If one were to give
all the wealth of one’s house for love,
itc would be utterly scorned.
Song of Songs 6:6,7

You Shall Not Be Burned!

Did I not say that the flames could not harm you Beloved? Then why do you cower between the flames expecting them at any moment to devour you?

I have dressed you in a robe of righteousness- see! It is fireproof! Look at the grace in which you stand.

Lift your eyes from the ground and look through the flames towards Me. I see you Beloved and I know the ordeal which you are going through. But think it not strange when you pass through fiery trials for they come to test those whose hearts belong to Me. The weight of the fire you walk through will determine the weight of glory that will be revealed in you!

You shall not stay bewildered Beloved for I shall send My Spirit of fire to separate out the flames and hold them back from you. His fire shall burn stronger and shall provide a covering for you from enemy fire. The light of His flame shall bring revelation to you! The light of the fire shall reveal to you My hidden plan.

All that the enemy has set fire to is burning but nothing of which I have destined or put aside for you shall burn! The flames shall do no harm. Look and see, no harm will befall you.

As you walk through the fire towards Me, I shall bend the flames and cause the light of the fire to illuminate the traps and pitfalls that have been set for you and you shall have a clear view of your surroundings and you shall be given knowledge and understanding of the situation you are in. I would not have allowed this fire to burn if I did not intend to bring good out of it My love.

The fire crackling around you was intended to distract you from Me. It is fear. Its purpose was to make you turn around and run. But there is no reward for turning away and running My dear one. I have your reward here with Me and I am calling you to step forward, one step at a time through the flames. The flames cannot harm you!

This is a time for you to step into your identity and to walk courageously. With each step you take toward Me your identity will take root inside you. The knowledge of your identity will become embedded in you. You shall see that you are My child for I shall not allow the flames to harm you. Do not fear them. Never fear the flames; let them burn and keep walking.

Others will see the steps you take through your fiery trial. They will be encouraged and they too shall walk towards Me because of the faith they see in you.

Walk through the tunnel of flames and step into your inheritance in Me. Your times are in My hand.

Do not look back Beloved. Keep your eyes fixed on Me and My peace shall extend to you like a river. A river of peace to keep you from being devoured by the flames of fear!

All is well for you are Mine and I am ready to show Myself strong on your behalf. Take courage and you will see My deliverance outworked in your life. You will see the salvation of your God.

The trials you are walking through now, although it is as though you are walking through walls of fire and treading on burning coals under your feet, they shall come to an end.

I shall not suffer you to be burnt or singed. Did the fire touch my servants in the fiery furnace? No! I sent My Spirit of fire to dance around them so that the flames that tried to lick them were consumed by My Holy fire! My Spirit was a wall of fire around them! I was their shield and I am your shield Beloved!

Did I not say that you shall walk through fire and not be burned? Did I not say that when you walk through deep waters you shall not drown? When the rivers rise up around you, you shall not be swept away. When the wind blows strong against you, you shall stand. For I have said so and I have positioned you. And I support you with my strong right arm.

See, I am closing doors, but rejoice, Beloved. Rejoice! For when you walk through the door that I shall open for you, you will find a new spring in your step, you shall breathe in freedom! Smell the fragrance of freedom! Your door shall open up into a spacious place; see the green meadow laid out for you; the flowers shall sing and dance in the breeze, the rivers shall laugh, the trees of the field shall clap their hands! You shall go through with joy Beloved!

Though you feel the heat of enemy fire around you, you may sing and dance in the furnace, for you are not alone Beloved. I shall not permit the flames to lick you. I have positioned you for freedom and I am setting you free.

Rainbow Kisses

When I was praying in the night I had a picture play out on the screen of my mind. I saw a rainbow over Jesus’ Beloved. A rainbow is symbolic of God’s promises, His covenant with us. As I have mentioned before I refer to Jesus’ Beloved as a “she” because Song of Solomon talks of Jesus’ Beloved being His bride. This is the symbolism I like to go with. The bride in Song of Solomon is symbolic of one that Jesus loves, male or female.

I was particularly drawn to the colour yellow in the rainbow. I saw lips and eyes at the top of the bend in the colour yellow and somehow the yellow light expanded and moved forward and came right up to Jesus’ beloved, then kissed her on the forehead. The lips planted themselves on her forehead for a moment and then I saw this golden oil dripping down her face from the kiss on her forehead. It was a light, soothing, sweet, golden oil and sparkled in the light as if it contained tiny, suspended nuggets of gold inside it. I felt that it was symbolic that it was placed as a kiss on her forehead, over her mind. It was symbolic of her being given the mind of Christ, through the anointing oil and warm golden light she was kissed with.

“Who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:16

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7

I felt that the face in the yellow light was symbolic of the Holy Spirit who flowed towards the beloved as light and oil and kissed her, anointed her, with the mind of Christ.

Then I saw the orange light in the rainbow expand and stream towards her. The orange light in the rainbow stretched towards her and kissed her on the lips. It left a sweet taste of the most delicious and nourishing honey on her lips. I felt this was symbolic of the sweetness of God’s word. This honey fed her soul and revived her.

“Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.” Jeremiah 15:16

How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Psalm 119:103

Know also that wisdom is like honey for you: If you find it, there is a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off. Proverbs 24:14

Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him. Psalm 34:8

The judgments of the LORD are true; they are righteous altogether. They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb. Psalm 19:9,10

I have not departed from the commands of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread. Job 23:12

Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth– for your love is more delightful than wine. Song of Songs 1:2

Then I saw Jesus standing by the rainbow. He filtered off some of the blue colour and it flowed out of the rainbow like water. I felt this was symbolic of the water of life. He brought it to His Beloved in a crystal glass and gave it to her to drink. She felt totally refreshed and full of life and strength. I think blue also represents heaven and felt that the kingdom of heaven was inside her, through drinking the living water. It helped her to be heavenly minded and set on eternity, not temporal things.

Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” John 4:10

“…but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.” John 4:14

Then Jesus took a strand of light out of the red rainbow light. He tied it as a bow in His beloved’s hair. He tied it so lovingly and tenderly that it was a constant reminder to her of His love and affection for her. She became known as the one who Jesus loved.

I felt this red ribbon was symbolic of the scarlet cord in the scriptures eg Rahab’s scarlet cord which was symbolic of Jesus’ blood, saving her from destruction. And the scarlet cord mentioned in Leviticus 14:4-6; 49-52. The cleansing of lepers mentioned here, with the scarlet ribbon, is symbolic of the cleansing power of Jesus’ blood. It is also mentioned in Hebrews 9:19.

Where the yellow oil and golden honey colours appeared to overlap in the rainbow it looked like the colour of fire. Jesus scooped up some of the fire in His hand and wrapped it around her head! This, I felt was to protect her mind. It also spoke of His fiery passion towards her.

“Put me like a seal over your heart, Like a seal on your arm. For love is as strong as death, Jealousy is as severe as Sheol; Its flashes are flashes of fire, The very flame of the LORD. “Many waters cannot quench love, Nor will rivers overflow it; If a man were to give all the riches of his house for love, It would be utterly despised.” Song of Songs 8:7

“So watch yourselves, that you do not forget the covenant of the LORD your God which He made with you, and make for yourselves a graven image in the form of anything against which the LORD your God has commanded you. “For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God. Deuteronomy 4:24

For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her. Zechariah 2:5

“Is not my word like fire,” declares the LORD, “and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?” Jeremiah 23:29

Then Jesus appeared to take a paintbrush and dip it in the purple light. He painted His beloved so that her clothes were a purple shade. I felt this was symbolic of the kingly anointing. He wanted her to walk and operate as royalty, as queen.

“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” 1 Peter 2:9

And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. Revelation 5:9,10

Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father… Revelation 1:6

Then I saw Jesus taking green strands of light and breaking them up into tiny pieces like grass. He laid them before her feet like a carpet of soft green grass. I felt this grass laid out for her on the wasteland was symbolic of new life, a new day of destiny springing up around her. He created a fertile field for her, a path of peace, and the green colour was a comfort to her. It was such a delight for her to walk on that she ran and danced and leapt around like a deer.

Then will the lame leap like a deer, and the mute tongue shout for joy. Water will gush forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert. The burning sand will become a pool, the thirsty ground bubbling springs. In the haunts where jackals once lay, grass and reeds and papyrus will grow. And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness; it will be for those who walk on that Way. Isaiah 35:6-8

Arise, My dearest!
Come with Me, My darling!
I have come as you have asked
To lift you up and lead you out!
For now is the time, My beautiful one.
Can you not discern this new day of destiny
Breaking forth around you?
The early signs of My purposes and plans
Are bursting forth all around you.
The budding vines of new life
Are now blooming everywhere;
The fragrance of their flowers tells us
There is change in the air.
Arise, My dearest darling
And let us run to the higher place.
For now is the time to arise
And come away with Me!
The Most Amazing Song of All 2:10, 13

“Do not call to mind the former things, Or ponder things of the past. “Behold, I will do something new, Now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:18,19

The LORD will surely comfort Zion and will look with compassion on all her ruins; he will make her deserts like Eden, her wastelands like the garden of the LORD. Joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the sound of singing. Isaiah 43:19

They will neither hunger nor thirst, nor will the desert heat or the sun beat down on them. He who has compassion on them will guide them and lead them beside springs of water. Isaiah 43:10

See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you. Isaiah 42:9

The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom; it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon; they will see the glory of the Lord, the splendor of our God. Isaiah 35:1, 2

Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them; let all the trees of the forest sing for joy. Psalm 96:2

“till the Spirit is poured on us from on high, and the desert becomes a fertile field, and the fertile field seems like a forest. The Lord’s justice will dwell in the desert, his righteousness live in the fertile field. The fruit of that righteousness will be peace; its effect will be quietness and confidence forever.” Isaiah 32:15-17

Consuming Fire

---

I made a promise to your seed and I intend to follow it up. Am I man that I would lie or change my mind? Am I fickle and double-minded, tossed like the waves of the sea, thrown about with the changing tides, buffeted by the wind or caught in a tornado of confusion; swirling about, dizzy and unstable?

Oh Beloved, trust Me! I am for you! I am not against you! I am not fighting you nor sending troops to bulldoze your dreams. The fiery darts that have hit you have not been fired from My arrow. They set you on fire, they were sent to destroy you. But am I not a consuming fire Beloved? I consumed the fire that engulfed you! It tried to eat you alive but I devoured it and burnt it up!

Don’t underestimate My fire Beloved. Don’t underestimate My power, nor My desire to see you free. I am ever protecting you and I have equipped you. It was as though your shield was stolen from you for a time, but I took it back and I am polishing it. You shall have faith again. It will be your shield. I am sharpening your sword. I have cleaned your shoes of peace. I have polished your helmet and breastplate and fixed your belt of truth. Rise Beloved; rise and take your place!

Scriptures:

But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. James 1:6

“for our “God is a consuming fire.” Hebrews 12:29

God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? Numbers 23:19

“for God is not a God of confusion but of peace.” 1 Corinthians 14:33

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD. Isaiah 54:17

Then their offspring will be known among the nations, And their descendants in the midst of the peoples. All who see them will recognize them Because they are the offspring whom the LORD has blessed. Isaiah 61:9

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Ephesians 6:10-17
