Chocolate Icing
Apr 26th, 2007

“I’m like the chocolate icing on your cake.  I am sweet 
& yummy to the taste!  I have some sweet morsels I want 
to share with My beloveds. Ladies like sweet things 
because of their sensitivity.  I made you that way so that
when a man gets married with you, you have perfect 
balance together you make a whole.  

But for many of you that have sacrificed marriage, or have failed marriages, I AM Your Lover, & I AM the Sweetness 
of your life.  I love that!  Yes, I said, I LOVE THAT!  I love it 
that you look to ME for sweetness when you need it.

I want to be there for you & to be the best thing on your 
plate !  I am full of love and kindness for you, because I 
delight in you My beloveds.  There are many men also who have a taste for things that are sweet, & not sour, & a woman can add so much love to his life, that it will tenderize the rough places in him.  

There are others that are too wild & untamed to appreciate a woman, or even who have such anger seething inside that they are incapable of love, but only violence.  But I AM LOVE, & I love you.  I have wrapped you with bands of love, even though you have not understood it all, nor everything I have allowed you to go through.

I have delighted in you when I see you persevere in believing ME, even when everything around you says otherwise;  Even when the devil has tormented you & tried to make you feel as though you had failed me one to many times, & are now disqualified.  

I am proud of you when you withstand his lies, & tell him to get out!  I am proud of you when you fail & you come to ME, & open your heart to ME, even though you feel ashamed.  

I am proud of you when you fail, because it doesn’t stop you from trying again & again to please ME & to overcome all the obstacles in your lives. 

I want you to REJOICE when you fail, after you get over your initial pain when you realize you’ve blown it.  I want you to come to me in the secret place & worship.  Show the enemy that no matter what happens, YOU CAN RUN TO ME.

My tender mercies endure forever. Beloveds, I want for you to also have that same tenderness & understanding for those who have not yet been broken as you have!

I want you to keep believing for miracles. I AM FULL OF MIRACLES I WANT TO PERFORM through you. But you know that unless you were broken & bruised, & came to the end of your SELF life, that you would take that power & it would cause you to be puffed up like Satan was, if your character was not more perfected.

Broken vessels know that it’s NOT THEM that are doing the miracles, that it is ME doing them through them. I have MANY FAVORITES. Do not give in to an EXCLUSIVE gospel from anyone who thinks THEY are the beginning & the end of things.  

I AM THE ONLY BEGINNING & END.  I AM GOD ALMIGHTY, THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE.  I WILL NOT SHARE MY GLORY WITH ANOTHER.

I AM INCREASING MY GLORY in you as you choose ME over other distractions. I AM increasing MY LOVE, PEACE, JOY, & all that I AM in you as you rest & minister to ME, & as you rest & LET ME MINISTER TO YOU!   

I have set many of you apart from others that you might put ME FIRST.  If you are easily distracted by the needs of others over MY NEED to have you near ME, then I must do things to get your focus back on ME.  

It is in contemplating, beholding & communion with ME, that LIFE is given you. MY LIFE.  IT IS ONLY when you TAKE TIME with ME, & commit yourselves, setting your sites on what I WANT, that you can hear from ME more clearly.

If you are not DEAD to self yet, then you will continue holding on to the things of this world, to reputation & what people think of you, to people, to things, to houses, cars, books, comforts, etc.

There is nothing you have that I can’t replace.  There is nothing you want that I can’t provide.  I purchased a REST for you, that you wouldn’t HAVE TO STRIVE.  If you find yourself anxious, it may be that you are striving & not just resting IN ME & ALLOWING ME to take control of everything in your life.  

I DIED that you could have a life of abundance in ME.  The priest’s portion was ME.  It wasn’t land.  It wasn’t houses & rich things of this world, though they were provided for by the rest of Israel. Their portion was ME.

Ezek 44:28 AMP  [re the PRIESTS ]  This [their ministry to Me] shall be to them as an inheritance, for I am their inheritance; & you shall give them no possession in Israel, for I am their possession. [Josh 13:14,33.]

Rev 1:5-6 NKJV  & from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, & the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us & washed us from our sins in His own blood, 6 & has made us kings  & priests to His God & Father, to Him be glory & dominion forever & ever. Amen. 
                          (picture that for a moment!)

"Beloved it is not that I don’t want to bless you with things, & finances but it is so that you can be a blessing to others & do the work of MY KINGDOM, NOT TO BUILD YOUR OWN KINGDOM.  

For the moment you entertain me, myself & I, then you fall to pride.  It is NOT YOUR CHURCH.  It is My church. I AM THE WAY THE TRUTH & THE LIFE.  

You are NOT to 'lord it over' those who are less gifted than you that you have something they don’t have!  

You are to walk in HUMILITY if you want to bear the yoke of MY KINGDOM & GLORY. Humility doesn’t think make others feel lesser than. I have great love for the weakest of individuals for I know the great burdens they have had to bear - Even those who are so angry & raging.

I know that person who has had to bear rejection all their life. I know what it takes to get it all out of them. I know the defensive pride & rage inside a woman who was molested as a young girl & couldn’t understand how a parent could do that!  

I KNOW & I am angry too.  But I also know the pain of the perpetrators.  I know who was hurt themselves, & who is just wicked because they choose to be.  

I know who would choose ME eventually.  You must understand that I don’t condone any violation of the LAW. 
I AM HOLY and I WANT YOU TO BE HOLY.  

But I know it takes longer for some than others, because of the wickedness done to them.  I know what it takes to make the blind see, the deaf to hear, spiritually speaking. I know the deep things of a man’s heart. 

I KNOW ALL THINGS. I alone am the WISE GOD. I am about to turn up your discernment & your wisdom AS YOU RELY ON ME for an opinion about others, as you seek me on their behalf!

Every time you rely on your own wisdom, you defy the Most Holy Spirit within you!  

Everything you do, I want you to do in LOVE, not in a sense of obligation. If you have a sense of obligation, then check yourself for striving.  I want you to do what I tell you to do.  But for that you must listen for MY VOICE.  

You can’t just give me 15 minutes in prayer, & rush away & spend the rest of the day not even giving ME a thought if you really want to hear My voice.  If you really want to hear, you must be a good listener, of the WORD, & of The WORD of LIFE. 

Worship ME in the beauty of holiness I said. I have given you GRACE  to come into the throne room whenever you want. THINK about that!

Think about how the high priest alone could come near. But now the way has been opened for you forever to come before ME, to come into MY VERY PRESENCE. ONLY THE ENEMY KEEPS YOU FROM IT!  He tries to convince you you aren’t worthy, or that I will have given up on you.

But I SAID, My love endures FOREVER.  MY LOVE NEVER FAILS. Endure hardship like a good soldier. DO NOT turn away from the privilege I died for, so that you could come into My arms of LOVE. And learn to give the same grace I’ve given you in forgiving all you have done, also to OTHERS!”

1 Peter 4:7-8 NKJV   Serving for God's Glory - But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious & watchful in your prayers. 8 And above all things have fervent love for one another, for "love will cover a multitude of sins."
