Season 6: Sonrise
SONRISE
Heb 2:14-15 Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. NKJV
Luke 1:78-79 through our God’s most tender mercy, which causes the Sunrise to visit us from Heaven, to shine on those in darkness, living in the shadow of death, and to guide our feet into the paths of peace.” CJB
Abba Speaks
Never before in the history of mankind has a person who is dead come back to life. With joyful expectation, many are gathering together on this Easter Sunday to experience a closer communication with My Son, remembering the greatest victory of all – the overcoming of death. This Resurrection Sunday, as it is known, brings new hope into the lives of believers worldwide. Believers’ who are looking for a new glorious hope symbolized by the overcoming of death, man’s greatest enemy. Hope is born in many hearts as believers gather to welcome in the new day of promise and eternal hopes based on a miraculous event. Feelings and emotions are touched, and new commitments are made in the hearts of many. A deep and lasting impression is made in their hearts and minds for the coming year. This day is a day of joyful expectation as new life, My new life, births itself afresh and brand-new. The old is done away, finished with. From death to life; the very opposite to the human experience, a glorious foundation for hope.
And so it is in type that no work of the flesh can end in life, but always death. It is only as I breathe upon the dead that My Spirit releases life into dead ministries, dead and hopeless situations, that eternal hope and newness and freshness can be birthed. Today is a day of great rejoicing. It is the day My Son rose triumphantly from the grave, defeating death, Satan’s greatest weapon of fear, so great that many will not talk about it, or even think about it. This is a shackle that I talk about in My Word. This is one shackle and chain of bondage that can be broken over the lives of many of My saints if they will only contemplate and accept what I have done. The victory over the fear of death is the greatest victory that My saints can experience. Walking in this victory on a daily basis will turn all fear out of doors.
People who are not afraid to die, who are willing to entrust their eternal spirits into My care and keeping, as an act of trust, putting their lives into My hands, entrusting Me with not only their well keeping here on earth, but for evermore and for always throughout eternity. These are the ones who will have a joyful expectation of looking beyond the grave to the greater glory and their position in Heaven that they will enjoy forever. My Son, after His death and suffering and life of obedience, was called into My presence to sit at My right hand until all His enemies were defeated and I made the earth for Him a footstool. His is the highest position of honour in My Kingdom. He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords because of His obedience unto death. It was in My eternal plans that He should die and suffer so that death could be defeated and the sting of death removed as the ultimate weapon in Satan’s armory.
Death Is Not The End! It is the beginning of your life with Me here in heaven. It is a crossing over from natural to supernatural. It is the purpose of living that through the doorway of death a greater life is entered into. But you do not have to wait until you die physically to enter into this new life. You are born again into My Kingdom the moment that you let go of your life and put to death, by a conscious choice, the control of your life, handing it over to My Son Yeshua (Jersus) and daily seeking to do My will for your life. Just as it was required of My Son to walk in total obedience to My will for His life, so it is also required of all My sons and daughters to walk in total obedience to the leading of My Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit), so that you can all be prepared to enter into your eternal position here in My Heaven.
Enter This Day into the Joy of Your Lord can only be experienced as you do and act as I lead and as I have planned for you. Are you miserable, depressed, poor, wretched, blind, sick? These are not My attributes, and they come upon you when you are refusing to simply accept, receive and believe My promises and to walk in simple child like trust, doing what I planned for you to do, looking not for rewards and recompense in this lifetime, but always having in your hearts the joyful expectation of life here with Me in My heaven, and all who have gone before.
My Kingdom is so great that you could not even imagine how vast it is. It is not transitory, nor does it have an end. It has already begun, exists now and you are a citizen of the greatest city of the greatest King that has ever or will ever live. A Kingdom not bound by death, an eternal one whose citizens will walk on streets of gold just as I have said in My Word. The greatest kings and the wealth that is spoken of in the bible of the greatest kings who ever lived: King Xerxes who held 180 day parties, King David, King Solomon, the Pharaoh’s, the Babylonians, the Medes and Persians, the Assyrians, all their wealth and prosperity combined could not hold a candle to the magnificence of My Kingdom.
One day in My Kingdom will see more activity and blessings flowing to all the inhabitants of My heaven than happened in the combined lifetimes of all of the greatest kings and kingdoms put together. There will be joy and peace and laughter and singing and dancing in the streets. My Kingdom is one of joy, peace and love. There is no tyrant here in Heaven. There is no price to pay for citizenship. You are born into My Kingdom; you cannot buy or earn your way in. It has been done for you because of My great love for you, expressed in the laying down of man’s most treasured possession, his life.
Ambitions and dreams and all that makes a man a man must come to the foot of the cross if you are to enter this day into the joy of your Lord. From death springs forth life and only as your dreams and goals are surrendered to the will and purposes of Abba will you enter into that deeper, peaceful, joyful communication that extends from this life all the way through to eternity. As you gather to watch the physical sunrise, let the greater Sonrise happen in your heart.
You don’t have to wait for resurrection Sunday to roll around each year. A Sonrise can happen within your heart anywhere, anytime as you let go of the old and put to death the sins and activities that can so easily beset you. Lay your burdens down. Come to the foot of the cross with a repentant heart. Admit that you have thought that you knew better than I what would satisfy you. Stop striving in your own strength to achieve My will in your life. Stop acting on your own volition and start submitting your will to the leading of My Spirit.
Stop, stand still until the Son rises in your heart and the bright light and warmth of His appearing will encourage, strengthen and embolden you to walk in joyful obedience, one day at a time, one moment at a time for the rest of your life.
My Son could not bear to be away from Me. Separation from Myself was painful for Him because we are one. I desire for all of My children to experience this kind of oneness and closeness to Me that Yeshua (Jesus) walked in. But I cannot make you come to Me, that must be a free conscious action on your part. My Word covers all My blessings and all that I have spoken to you in this word, but it depends upon you coming to Me and accepting, believing and receiving in simple child like faith all that is prepared for you.
Taste and See That the Lord is Good! You must come and eat of Me, commune with Me, take time to become holy because I am Holy. My Kingdom is a kingdom of love, not fear. Perfect love casts out all fear. Do not be afraid of Me. Come this day and let the Son rise afresh in your heart. Let this resurrection Sunday mark a determination in your heart and life to meet with Me and to seek My face on all matters that pertain to your life, so that I can guide you and you can experience heaven in your heart each and every day from now until eternity.
Yeshua (Jesus) the Son Says
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through Me. WEB
As you fellowship with Me, I will lead you in the way everlasting. I will teach you how to be holy in your thinking and acting and become that which Abba intended you to become. We are partners in life unless you want to go your own way and do your own thing. Your way will only lead to disappointment and misery because your way is no way. Many great men, and even men of religion, have tried to forge a new and better way to become rich and famous here in this lifetime. Some succeeded, but they lost forever the right to enter into My joy, both here on earth and for all eternity. They shut the door on the eternal promises, putting faith in their own ability and knowledge of holy things, only to find out that when My presence dawned upon their darkened hearts and minds their religion evaporated and was consumed by the eternal truth of the Word of Yahweh, which is settled forever in the heavens.
I Am That Word! I Am That Assurance! In no other is there hope and truth and light that can be depended upon. As a physical sunrise disperses the darkness, so does My appearance drive back fears and darkness, isolation and the coldness of separation from the source of all true life.
I Am The Light Upon Your Way! Knowing Me, loving Me, obeying Me will set you on your path to success not only here on earth, but will lay the foundation for your eternal position in heaven. To know Me is to know life! This day is resurrection Sunday. Let this day be for you a resurrection of trust in Me and Me alone.
I Am Your Daystar! Your bright and Morning Star. I will guide you as surely as the shepherds of old guided their sheep.
I Am Trustworthy! I Am Truth! I Am The Word of Abba! I have suffered as a man. I have experienced the agony of betrayal, persecution, death and separation from Yahweh Himself, to provide a way, an entrance into Abba’s Kingdom. Believe, receive afresh this day all the promises that are yours by faith. Walk in faith from this day, no longer doubting, but looking each day for the Son to rise in your heart and life to guide you on your journey of life.
I Am Here!
I Am Present!
Enjoy Me!
It’s Sonrise!
