Enter into the Secret Garden, a place of tranquility and peace.
I call it my HAPPY PLACE!
A personal relationship with the Lord, and prayer is the key to victorious living.
Come join me as we Ask, Seek and Knock on the door of the heart of God for the answers to life.
This is the place to just be you, pour out your heart, and find solace. There is peace in the garden, tranquility and freedom from all burdens.





"Dear Jesus...
how foolish of me to have called for human help when You are here."

IS IT ENOUGH FOR YOU?


GOD IS ALL I NEED!

This was sent to me years ago when I was going through an extremely difficult time.  It is such a blessing to have other believers who will pray for you and hear from God when you can't.  This is what my friend wrote... For any readers who are feeling that everything is in vain right now.. this word may be for you.  It has ministered to many people. This is what my friend wrote:

Here is the song birthed this morning for you, for the Bride.  I love you.  You are altogether lovely JoAnn

IS IT ENOUGH FOR YOU?

Is it enough for you, just to be my friend

          Is it enough for you that my love will never end

Is it enough for you that I died to set you free

          Is it enough for you to place your trust in Me

Is it enough for you when the way isn't clear

          Is it enough for you to know that I am near

Is it enough for you that My Word is your light

          Is it enough for you to guide you through the night

Am I enough for you when your heart is filled with fear

          Am I enough for you, My love dries every tear

Am I enough for you, what else would you desire

          Am I enough for you when you pass through the fire

Am I enough for you when you think it's all in vain

          Am I enough for you to comfort all your pain

Am I enough for you as my life through you is told

          Am I enough for you as you come forth as gold

Say I'm enough for you just to be your friend

         Say I'm enough for you, our love will never end.

Say I'm enough for you, hold My hand & walk with Me

          Say I'm enough for you, My Beloved Bride you'll be.

My footnote: We could lose it all, but if we have our precious Jesus, that’s all that matters.. God is teaching us all to come back to our first love.. and to be content.. help us all to refocus on what is important and eternal.. help us Lord to continue to trust you even when we don’t understand.. that is the TRUE essence of what FAITH is all about .. I want us all to permeate with His essence of trust .. trust and obey ..

FACE TO FACE


JESUS TALKING TO HIS PEOPLE

This is a corporate word given at
Heart To Heart Christian Church
where my late husband and myself pastored.
Several people in the congregation shared
what they felt God was speaking.  As I
reread this word, I felt to add it in this
blog as I believe this word is still for us
today.  Blessings.. Reverend Donna Geertz



FACE TO FACE

BETH VAIL:

I am taking you to a place of a Face To Face encounter, to a place of change of heart, to a place that you know not of... Of a degree that I want to touch you, of a degree that I want to fellowship with you, of a degree that I want to ETCH My character INTO YOU that is greater than you have ever experienced ..

Are you WILLING for a Face to Face relationship with Me? Are you WILLING to lay upon the altar and have an encounter with Me?

Are you WILLING for Me to change you ... to give you New Eyes, to give you New Ears, to give you a New Mouth, to give you a New Touch ?

But, TRULY, IF YOU ARE WILLING ... I WILL. .. I WILL.  Because I AM the God that created the heavens and the earth, there is NOTHING TOO LARGE FOR MEIF YOU ARE WiLLING .... I WILL.  

GREG BERRY:  

I took Moses, saith the Lord, who had no confidence ...a man who ran, and I turned his life around and I USED that VERY WEAKNESS and made him STRONG. As I spoke to my people, Israel, so I say to you "The VERY AREAS in your life that you are weak, I will make YOU STRONG, I WILL and CAN DO the very things that you DOUBT, that which you say CANNOT BE DONE, for I AM GOD, I AM THAT I AM, I SAY TO YOU I AM THAT I AM.

CHRIS MCGRAW:  

"I breathe BREATH into you, I breathe the WORD into you and I shall breathe GLORY INTO YOU" saith the Lord.

PASTOR DONNA:

Father, as we enter into our Sabbath Rest this week,whenever that time and day is for us personally, I pray that we would strive to enter into that Rest IN YOU ... and Lord, in that Rest, we would REFLECT upon Your magnificence, we would reflect upon Your bigness, we would reflect upon the God who is ABLE, we would reflect upon the areas in our lives where we have not perceived you as The ALL SUFFICIENT ONE. .. where we have considered our circumstances, or our situations larger than You... but, as we come into that Secret Place with You, we can reflect upon YOU, and ask that you will open the eyes of our understanding and enlighten us to see your Greatness ... may we see and hear in even Greater ways. 

Open our spiritual ears and eyes to hear and see you in New Ways, so that WE NOT REMAIN the same, but begin to bear fruit which WILL REMAIN.

We desire to move from Glory To Glory ... and to be light bearers in Your Kingdom. We desire FACE to FACE encounters with you our God and King.  A shallow relationship is NOT what we are looking for.

God cause us to come to an acknowledging and knowledge of the greatness of our sins, and create in us a perfect HATRED for our sins, that we not remain complacent and apathetic ...with our lives like yo-yo's ... up and down, in and out, but begin to walk in stability... may we experience a REAL burning bush experience .... as Jacob
realized who he truly was, let us realize who WE truly are and be changed.

KA Y SUGGS:

The Lord would say: "I am taking Form, I am taking form in your lives saith the Lord, and I will take a New form in your lives says God, there are some forms in your life that are Not of me, but there are many things that I am getting ready to turn within your lives, and you will see the form take place in areas of your lives that you have not been able to take dominion over. God says, that He will take form, that Christ will take form within you ... as you have lifted up Holy hands today and as you cried out to me says God ... I will take form within you, I will take that which you could not handle says God, as you are laying down, and releasing things into My hands today ... there's a Releasing in the house today says God ... and that which you have released, I will sweep in swiftly, I will sweep in with My Spirit swiftly and do the work that you ask Me to do. As you have layed down yourselves upon the altar of sacrifice, I will cause a form to begin taking place.

There have been areas that, Yes,you could NOT HANDLE, for they were NEVER intended for YOU to handle. I AM the God, I AM the God who has said: I AM THAT I AM, and I will cause the crooked paths to be made straight, I will cause those areas of your life that have not been under your control, they will no longer be in that uncontrollable state ..... Ha, Ha, Ha, for they will be in the form that I INTENDED to place upon you. I intended to place My mark upon you from the very beginning,

I AM marking you this day, saith God, I am causing My mark to be upon your flesh, saith God, and you will be able to look upon yourself and KNOW that the change has taken place ... for I will cause you to THINK a different way, I will cause you to see things a different way, and I will cause you to SPEAK a different way says God.

I'm marking your lips this day for MY service ... the words that you speak that come out of your flesh ... I will cause it to burn as it were that coal of fire, I AM placing the coal of fire upon your lips today says God, you will not use the tongue as an instrument of you OWN pleasure, but it will be an instrument for My service says God ... you will speak what I say, says God .... in EVERY situation, whether you call it Natural or Spiritual... you are to utter words that are only from My Spirit from those lips of clay says God and I will cause the things that you have PRAYED AND PRAYED AND PRAYED and there's been no answers, I will cause those things to come to pass SO QUICKLY, you'll say ... "why didn't I do this before?"

But, God says .... "It wasn't the SEASON BEFORE there are SEASONS for RELEASING .. God says, don't miss the SEASON OF MY VISITATION, Receive the release TODAY and go to a different place.

PASTOR BART:

Something I realized today was that I had always thought that Moses was running from the authorities because he had killed a man, but what I didn't realize was that he was really running from GOD, there had been a breach with God .... and as long as we allow those things that we have done wrong come between us, we are NEVER going to have a full relationship with God .... we don't want to be years in a desert place to get that out of us..

THIS WAS A GOOD DAY IN THE LORD ....
ONLY JESUS ....IS ENOUGH!
HE'S ALL WE NEED, HE'S ALL WE'LL EVER NEED.

Amen!

RISEN LAMB





RISEN LAMB

Risen Lamb who has overcome

show me how it's done.

You paid the price

need I do it twice?

The ransom was paid

my self-effort now fades,

for the foundation’s been laid

I’m no longer afraid.


It's not in my power or might,

but, through your glorious light -

the truth of your word –

the blood sacrifice.


Empower me now as I humbly bow

at the hem of your garment

for strength and the grace

as I lean on you now.


May I stand and proclaim

Victory in your name

My Jesus, My Savior

Forever the Same.

THE BLESSING


 

THE BLESSING
We pronounce the blessing… that you are blessed at home, at your work place, in your church, in what you produce.  You sow only good seeds and you are fruitful and multiply.  We declare that your finances are blessed.  Your obedient tithing opens the windows of heaven and your abundant offerings pour out a blessing you cannot contain!  You prosper even as your soul prospers.  You honor and respect your parents and are blessed with a long and prosperous life.  You are blessed when you go out and blessed when you come in according to the word of God.

Your greatest aspiration is to come into the presence of God and to know and be known by Him, to be a lover of God and people of all walks of life. You worship in Spirit and in truth.  You are free from inhibitions and pride and are not under the law, but walk in liberty.  You do not lean on your own understanding, but on God.  You are not entrapped by the world’s ways of thinking, and you pray unceasingly until the answer comes, doing warfare in the heavenlies, fasting, interceding and not giving up, and standing firm in your convictions and beliefs.  Your heart is that of a true servant, always desiring and actively looking for ways to meet others needs above and before your own.  People gravitate to you because you treat them as Jesus would, preferring them over yourself, and loving unconditionally.

May God’s word be in your heart and mouth; alive and full of power, and rightly dividing the word of truth.  The word of God is active in you, and operates through you… it invigorates you, and is effective for you and through you, it does not return void, but accomplishes the desired results. 

Because you are a child of God… through Him, you are able, sufficient, and worthy to be a minister of the Good News.  You shall walk continually in the arena of success and will share the portion of inheritance as an heir of salvation.  The only fear you have is an awesome and reverent fear of the Lord.  You are free from the fear of man, the fear of failure and doubt, and you are blessed with the spirit of power and love, and a calm and balanced mind, sound in all its ways.  You believe “You can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”, according to the word of God.  You are free from sinful passions and moral conflict and are not given to the temptations of the flesh. You are not vain, nor do you covet.  Decisions in your life are not dictated by hurts or actions of the past, but are carefully prayed about with agreement of two or three witnesses. You are not compelled to do things that seem good in your own eyes.  You walk in a heart of true repentance, recognizing and quickly admitting when you are wrong and you know freedom from sin is not in anything you can do of yourself, but of the power of the cross in your life.   You realize there is a season for everything.  You are willing to wait on God’s timing and do not take things into your own hands, quietly stepping back, trusting God and watching Him bring forth good fruit.

You attend to the word of God, consent and submit to it.  The word does not depart from your lips, it is hidden in your heart as a  treasure… a delight to you, your shield, buckler, and strong defense.  It is life, healing and health to your flesh.  Mercy, compassion, kindness and truth are your constant companions, and you walk in favor, good understanding, knowledge and wisdom in the Lord.  You have unmerited favor and stand in great esteem in the sight of the Lord and man.  Your heart is always open to forgive and to be a minister of reconciliation.  You make the first step when the bond of unity has been broken instead of holding on to your own headstrong carnal ways.  You have a teachable spirit and take advice from Godly counsel. You heed those of understanding and not stubborn or demand your own way.  You look for the golden nugget of truth when you are corrected, being quick to contemplate first where you can change. You desire to grow up in Christ and put away childish thing.   

Your children are taught of the Lord, obeying their parents, respecting authority and living virtuous lives.  They are not given to outbursts, lascivious speech, sudden anger, addictions or unclean living.  They are honest in all matters and are not stiff necked.  You do not provoke your children to wrath.  They rise up and called you blessed and bring delight and not shame upon parents.

Everything you set your hand to do shall prosper, and you are blessed with life in abundance.  Your reward in Christ is rich, intense and abundant. Your first passion is the Lord in your life.  You are like a tree firmly planted by the living water, tended continually by the Master … bringing forth much fruit.

You count the cost and are willing to pay the price to walk the path set before you.  Now thanks be to God who always causes you to triumph in Christ!
