Desk of "GPP" Archives
Dear Precious Jewels,
I pray this season has been a blessed one for you, after a
very busy summer and now it is time hopefully to slow down. I know it is a time
of many celebrations as we enter the Harvest and Thanksgiving season and also
the time of celebrating our Savior's birth thereafter.
I love this
time of year, these are my favorite colors. I am always so amazed at the
beautiful work of the Master Painter. What beautiful colors we see during the
fall season.
Sometime ago my precious Prayer Partner/Sister/friend
Janie and I traveled up to the Mountains. All we could see around us was the
splendor of God's beautiful creation. The "Master Artist" was at work again. It
was breathtaking to observe the cascades of Mountains, with a beautiful blend of
shades of fall colors. We sensed calm and silence all around us. It was as
though after a busy summer growing and producing leaves, flowers and fruits, God
was calling His creation to rest, shedding its toil of labor to prepare for the
stillness of winter, before another fast growing season of Spring. As we
journeyed up to the mountains, we observed the different shades and intensity of
colors. The higher we drove, the deeper the colors. The Lord began to speak to
us then. As we grow higher and closer to Him, the more beautiful and radiant we
become. As we drove even higher, the colors were like sparkling jewels. We too
become sparkling jewels for the Lord as we grow higher and higher in Him. We are
our Father's Jewels:
Malachi 3:7 "They shall be Mine." Says the Lord
of Hosts. "On that day that I make them My Jewels. And I will spare them as a
man spares his own son who serves him." KJV
Songs of Solomon 7:1 "How
beautiful are your feet in sandals, O Prince's daughter! The curves of your
thighs are like Jewels. The work of the hands of a skillful workman."
KJV
God sees us as being skillfully and wonderfully made for His
glory. He sees us as beautiful Jewels. We were created by and for Him. We are
all unique, but very special to Him. He desires to shape us and mold us as His
beautiful creation, so as we grow closer to Him, the Glory from His face
radiates into us and we become like Him. As we grow higher and higher in Him we
become His Jewels.
I like the old Gospel song:
When He cometh, when He
cometh, to make up His jewels,
All His jewels, Precious Jewels, His loved
and His own;
He will gather, He will gather, the gems of His
kingdom:
All the pure ones, all the bright ones, His loved and His
own.
Little children, little children, who love their
Redeemer,
Are the Jewels Precious Jewels, His loved and His
own.
Like the Stars of the morning, His bright crown
adoring.
They shall shine in their beauty, Bright gems for His
crown.
Be encouraged and blessed today, as you see yourself blessed
and precious of the Lord. You are that Jewel which will adorn His crown. Let us
continue to grow higher and higher in Him, that we too may be made radiant from
the light of His presence.
Have a blessed and wonderful time of
Thanksgiving. Giving Thanks to our Lord first of all.
In His
service.

My
Friend
The
greatest friend to have is Jesus. Sometimes we long for a friend to fellowship
with, but really the best friend is Jesus. To fellowship with Him through the
Precious Holy Spirit is such sweet bliss.
When I long for another company, my Lord
is jealous, because He longs for my company. He longs to spend that time with me
so He can teach me His wonderful ways and virtues.
Sometimes in the company of
others there are issues we have to deal with; issues that do not present
themselves when we spend tie with the Lord. Sometimes one tries to out do the
other even in the things of the Lord; with revelation of the word, praise or
prayer. Let's not be too religious here! Don't we sometimes experience that? I
have. How does this leave us? We are often left feeling discouraged and even
drained, but spending time with my friend Jesus, I leave feeling refreshed,
encouraged and rejuvenated.
In His presence, I am so refreshed. My
eyes are opened to see the things I could not previously see. I receive
understanding far beyond my natural abilities. I do not feel condemned, because
there is no room for that. I feel loved and special like an only child, to think
that the Kings of Kings should choose time to spend time with me and reveal His
heart with me.
My Precious Friend gave His life for me and gave me access any
time day or night to come into His Father's presence to worship Him, thank Him
and lay all my cares before Him. He has made His Father my Father
too.
My Precious Friend defeated my worst enemy and set me free from
all his traps and snares.
My Precious Friend always causes my
heart to leap with joy and sing His praises.
I
always feel so blessed when I spend time with Him. He warns me and protects me
from seen and unseen dangers. He never fails me.
Do you know my Friend? His
Name is Jesus. His Name is Wonderful, Powerful. It is at His Name alone that the
enemy must and will bow his knees and is rendered
powerless.
My Friend's eyes are always upon me. I can always sense His
gaze upon me, even now.
Is He your friend
too?
Be blessed as we share this Special Friend. Let us always make
special time to spend in His presence.

War in the
Heavenlies
It
is now 4:42 am and I was awakened from a deep sleep. I was awake for about 30 or
so minuets unable to return to sleep, very much wide awake. I thought of getting
up to probably read or just listen to some music so I could return to sleep as I
have a full day ahead of me, I had only gone to sleep at 1:00am after completing
my 3-11 shift.
I began to think of situations around me, some of which I
was dreaming about, when I suddenly heard my spirit praying in tongues. I
listened intently. I then heard the Lord speaking to me.
"There is a war
going on my child, there is a war going on!!!! Seek me and pray, pray
unceasingly!!!!! There is a war in the heavenlies, pray and seek me and as you
pray I will reveal to you the war in the heavenlies. Lay aside every hindrance;
lay aside everything that hinders you from seeking Me and praying. There is a
war going on, seek Me, pray, there is a war going on!!!!! I reveal my secrets
and my mysteries to My beloved children, so seek Me and pray and lay every
hindrance down. It is time to lay them down!!!!!!"
I asked the Lord if
this was a personal word to me. He said, "It is for ALL my children, tell them
my child, tell them!!!! Tell them to lay every hindrance down, it is time to lay
them all down and pray, pray like never before and seek me and I will show you
what is going on in the heavenlies. It is time to pray!!!!! The more you pray,
the more you will see and the more I will show you. Tell them to Pray!!!! It is
time to pray!!!!!…It is time to lay ever thing that will prevent my children
from spending time with me in prayer. Tell them my child!!!!, tell them. It is
time for ALL My children to seek Me and pray and lay ALL hindrances
down!!"
I sense such urgency in the heart of our Father. For whatever
reason, I reminded myself of today's date and I heard 06/06/06. I thought that
day is not too far away. What impending danger lies ahead for such a
time?
Even now as I write and reflect, I am sensing the Lord is giving us
this length of time to pray and seek Him for His Diving Grace, wisdom, guidance
and direction, for what lies ahead, to be prepared for the war that is going on
now and any plans for such date.
I pray that we will all heed such a
call, beginning with me and lay every hindrance down and really seek the Lord
like never before.
It is with boldness, yet with fear that I record this
word, and I will now share it with those the Lord will first of all allow me to
share it with. I sense an urgent call in the spirit for us to really run to the
Mountain of the Lord and seek in the quiet places, to really lay every hindrance
down as He has commissioned and to hide away with Him as we have never done
before. I also sense as we all know that the things that keep us busy will one
day have no meaning and will come to and end, so it is time to really lay them
down and seek the Lord in prayer. Yes, there is always a war in the heavenlies,
but I sense this has really intensified in an even greater way.
May you
souls be blessed as we heed this call. The Lord's handmaiden,
Pearl

Let us dialogue. Please share with me
what the Holy Spirit has laid on your heart concerning this word.
Thank
you,

Hide in
the Cleft of the Rock
The
Spirit of the Lord came upon me in a very strong way as I was walking across my
bedroom and was about to get into bed. His presence was so strong that all I
could say repeatedly for what seemed to be minutes was, "You are a Mighty
God!!!!! You are a Mighty God!!!!! As I got into bed, in the stillness and
quietness of the night He spoke to me. I had a very busy day and was tired, but
in His presence all my tiredness went and I felt very relaxed. The Lord spoke to
my heart:
"My daughter, you are just where I want you to be. I delight to
see you hunger after me and as you hunger after me you will be fed and there I
will meet with you. I have seen the hunger in your heart. I have seen the
desires and the contents of your heart and your longing for me. That hunger, I
will fill with my presence, I will grant you your hearts' desires. You are now
in my rest and that is where I desire to see you…in My rest."
It was as
though at that time, I saw myself nestled under an eagle's wing right at the
junction of the wings and the breast. I felt so loved and comfortable. The Lord
continued.
"My daughter, you are hid in the cleft of the Rock, you are
safe in My arms, there I will hide and protect you. I want you to hide yourself
in My presence; there is comfort, rest and healing. There is protection from all
ills, there you are safe. There you will find rest and there you will fly on
eagle's wings far away from the storm. I will bear you up with Me from dangers
even as the eagle flies far above the storm and watches it from below. This is
where I want my people to be safe in my arms. I will bear them up far away from
dangers. When you are hid in Me, I can bear you up.
My child there are
DANGERS IN THE HORIZON!!!!!…..DANGERS IN THE HORIZON!!!!!….DANGERS IN THE
HORIZON!!!!!!! I want my children to find refuge in me in the cleft of the Rock
there they are safe. I will bear them up far above all dangers…the dangerous
days ahead. The world will not understand, but my children will be safe as long
as they hide in me. Nestled under my arms is the cleft of the rock and I will
cover you and safely hide you. Tell my people….tell them to hide themselves in
My presence…tell them My daughter, it is in My presence that they are safe, tell
them of the dangerous days ahead and they are to seek me and hide themselves.
There are troubles such as one has never seen before ahead, and they will only
find refuge within the cleft of the Rock…in My presence. Tell them to seek Me
and I will hide them and bear them up far away from the dangers to come. Who
have ears to hear let him hear what the spirit says, tell them My daughter, tell
them!!!!!"
I sensed such urgency in the spirit for us all to really seek
the Lord and forsake all that would hinder us to do so and for us to really rest
in His presence. It was only a few days ago in my quiet time the Lord spoke to
my heart and said, "Come my daughter to Mt Zion, in My presence, let me show you
what is in the horizon."
May we all respond to the urgent call of the
Lord to seek Him and hide ourselves in Him is my prayer for all of
us.

Redeeming
the Time
My
dear loved ones,
It is indeed time to redeem the time. It is time to
watch wait and pray because we are indeed in the last days.
As I listened
to the prophetic news today, read the Word, observed the news yesterday and
today, sensing in the spirit that there are changes going on, it is no longer
time to "shop till we drop but "wait, watch and pray, And share the
good news of salvation with our lost loved ones. You can feel it in the air. You
can see it in the weather pattern even as the Word of God foretold.
The
Spirit of the Lord ministered to my dear sister in the Lord who lost her son.
Twice, within minutes, He told her she would see her son soon. Soon and very
soon we will see our loved ones who went home to be with the Lord where we will
never have to say good bye again. I am looking fwd to that day to see my Mother,
Grandparents, Mother and Father in Law, My aunts, my nephew; yet I can only but
pray for those I know are not ready.
Please join with me as we pray our
loved ones in. Share with them the Love of our Lord Jesus in thought word or
deed. The hour is too short to bear grudges, vengeance of malice. Let's get our
lamps trimmed and ready, our wedding garments ready. It is nearly time for the
marriage supper when our Bridegroom comes.
Pass this on to your loved
ones so they too can be ready. I love you all…..please keep me in your prayers
as I pray for you too.
Lovingly
His Bride,
Pearl

3:17
"For they shall be mine says the Lord of hosts, on that day that I make
them my Jewels,
And I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves
him."
Greetings Precious Jewels,
I call you "Precious Jewels
because that's what you are.
Many of you who began to receive my
letters in 1997 may recall as I shared with you the commission our Lord gave to
me, to send out a word of encouragement to His Body.
It is His desire for us to
daily, "fight the good fight of faith, 1Tim 6:12 and "…press toward the
goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Phil 3:17
As
we press on every day….especially in these trying days, we need to encourage
each other in the Lord….the journey along the "way is not an easy one, but
Praise the Lord we have Him. He said He will never leave nor forsake us. I thank
The Lord for His faithful servants who have borne this testimony in standing
with me during some very trying and difficult days. I say especially thanks to
my wonderful husband who covered me. The covering of a husband over his wife in
this foreign land…earth, is very important. The Lord ordained it Eph 5:23 "For
the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church: and He is
the Savior of the body."
As you have noticed like me, things have
changed even more since 1997. Let's go on to say since 9/11/02. How much more do
we need to encourage each other in the Lord today?
First, even as I have
repented to the Lord for not carrying out the command he gave me, I also
apologize to you for not continuing to send you letters He instructed me to send
to you. Whoever receives a letter from "GPP", He has placed you on my heart to
send you one.
Often times we become side tracked with doing what seems to be
"God's work, but was that what He instructed us to do? We are accountable
to Him and the commission He has given to us and one day we will have to give
account to that.
As I see the day appearing, and the signs and events all around
us, I am almost gripped with a Holy fear. I want our Lord to find me faithful.
Each of us have been given a task to do. It may be small, it may be great, but
each of us have a special part within the Kingdom of God, while we are here on
this earth. Some may be called to minister to a large crowd, some may be asked
to take their elderly neighbor shopping. Whatever, we must do it. No assignment
is greater than the other.
If we want to experience the blessings
and the presence of the Lord, we must set ourselves in the place of obedience so
He can flow through us. To love Him is to obey Him.
For the past few years of
absence from "God's Precious Pearls, I did not really see myself as being
negligent. On the contrary, I was busy doing the "Lord's work, but was
that His purpose for me? It is important that I remember that I will have to
give an account for that which He has entrusted to me; for that purpose I was
born…to bring Him glory.
I have also during this time experienced
much pain and disappointment within the safety and confines of the Body of
Christ. I counted it all joy, (James 1:1-4) during all those years of trials.
Indeed, I learned and gleaned much as the Lord brought me out of those difficult
and trying days. There were times when I thought I would not be able to lift my
head above the sand and the storm, but it was indeed during those times that He
carried me. I supposed this was also another difficult journey to the
cultivation of His "Black Pearl as was prophesied to me. (I will enclose a
separate letter… "How God's Precious Pearls was birthed to explain this to
you)
Today, I glorify Him. Isaiah 30:15 "In returning (repentance)
and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and confidence shall be your
strength."
As I said before, we are living in some very difficult days and
the time of our Lord's return is much closer than we think. I pray that as you
read this letter, you will be stirred to pick up His banner and run that race
with the task He has given us; and may He find us
faithful.
He has commissioned me to exhort and encourage through "God's
Precious Pearls."
Each letter you receive is a "Pearl from your Beloved
Bridegroom. May it adorn you as you prepare yourself for the marriage
feast. It is time to prepare for the marriage feast; so let's get ready our
garments, the shopping is over it is now time to
prepare.
Selah: What is your Pearl today? May the precious Holy Spirit
minister that to you and may you wear it to glorify our
Daddy.
In His
love and service,
Pearl Elizabeth /God's Precious

3:17
"For they shall be mine says the Lord of hosts, on that day that I make
them my Jewels,
And I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves
him."
Dear Precious Jewel and co-laborer in Jesus Christ Our Lord and
Savior,
It is with joy that I share with you a word of encouragement
as we walk together on the Highway of faith and Holiness through Jesus our
Lord.
It is important especially during these last days for us to be
obedient to do whatever The Lord has entrusted to us; no matter how great or
small. To each one of us who are called by His Name, He has entrusted to us a
task and we want to hear our Lord saying to us, "Well done good and faithful
servant, you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over
many things. Enter into the Joy of your Lord." Matthew 25:23
"Who
then is faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household
to give him food in due season? Blessed is the servant whom his master, when He
returns will find so doing." Matthew 24:45-46
As the return of our
Lord is anytime soon, I sense the urgency in being about Father's business and
to be faithful to do what He has commissioned us to do. For some it may be
witnessing in the streets, visiting the sick and shut in. It may even be
preparing a meal for a sick neighbor. It does not always in the natural; seem to
be a spiritual task. We read about Dorcas in Acts 9:36-41. She ministered to the
poor by making them garments..The person does not have to be poor. Because some
of us are gifted in this area, the Lord may instruct us to make our sister a
garment. In this way God's love is expressed to her.
My mother for
many years ministered to an elderly saint simply by providing her Sunday dinner
until her death at the glorious age of 95 years. After so many years my
mother's Sunday routine was different, she felt a little lost because "Goddie
Mary," as she was affectionately called was no longer with us. Whatever...it
does not matter, as long as The Lord has laid that burden on our hearts, we are
to do it. Being a nurse, on hearing that she had passed away, I went to her
little country cottage and made sure she was carefully laid out and positioned,
before rigor mortise set in and prevent her body to be stretched out. In this
situation, there is no undertaker. Her body was preserved by friends and family
for 3 days before burial.
I sense the great need for the ministry of
hospitality which is so lacking in the body of Christ. There are many hurting
souls who need to be reassured that they are loved and appreciated, so do not
consider it too menial if The Lord has placed it on your heart to have a friend
over for coffee. The Holy Spirit will meet you there to minister to their need.
Many of us have been partakers of that special "Holy Ghost Coffee" time when we
were not able to touch that steaming hot cup of coffee. (Smile)
In the
natural, I am not a writer, but our Lord has gifted me with this ability and I
have to be faithful and obedient to do what He has instructed me to do, and that
is to write a letter of encouragement, for each month. As I write what has been
given to me, I become the first recipient.
The Lord has been speaking
to my heart for many months regarding this matter, and honestly, I have been
disobedient due to fear, but I must remember that God has not given me a spirit
of fear, but of love, power and a sound mind. The enemy puts fear into us to
prevent us from fulfilling our Father's will for our lives. He has instructed us
not to be afraid but to be courageous. We are also not to be afraid of men's
faces, because He is with us, nor are we to be afraid nor concerned what we
should say. He will instruct us. I do believe and rest in the fact that as He
has bestowed upon me the gift of writing from His heart, His words to you will
minister to your heart and accomplish that which it was purposed. As I am
faithful to begin where He has started me, then I can expect to be rewarded with
greater tasks.
Many have been called to minister in different ways. I am
reminded that Paul the Apostle ministered under the inspiration of he Holy
Spirit as he imparted the wisdom of God to the Churches through his
letters.....Today I share with you under the anointing from the heart of God
through my letters as He instructs me. Subsequently a letter will be sent to you
each month to encourage our souls.
I ask you to faithfully keep me in
your prayers, that I will remain faithful and true to obey our Lord, to share
with you a "Pearl" for your adornment. Let me hear from you how this has blessed
you, and please send me your prayer request, so together we can stand in
agreement. I do not seek fame nor fortune; I only desire to be obedient to our
Father's will.
Pearl For
Today
"Peace to you who are in Christ Jesus" 1 Peter
5:14
"Grace and Peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of
Jesus our Lord."2 Peter 1:2
This morning, I was awakened from a dream that caused me some
anxiety. I did not like it one bit. This did not appear to be a bad dream, but
it did not sit right with my spirit. I just sensed the Lord was revealing some
things to me. I sought Him for understanding. He shared with me that there was a
pain within me I had not released to Him. Sometimes there are things within us
that we are not aware of, it is the Precious Holy Spirit alone who can reveal
this to us. The Lord simply asked me to release it to Him and He will take it
away...That was the purpose of revealing it to me.
As I fellowshipped
with the Lord and His word, His Peace rose up within me as He ministered to me.
He removed the crud and poured His healing balm within me. Cruds cause us pain,
anxiety and fear. They are not of God. These block our ability to hear our
Lord's voice and to be sensitive to the gentle leading of he Holy Spirit. They
also rob us of peace within.
Peace is a healing balm. It restores the
mind and soul. It gives strength to the weary heart. Peace lights our paths and
brings sweet confidence within. Knowing that we are not alone but that Jesus is
with us. God blesses us with His peace so we can hear His gently voice guiding
our paths from day to day...let Peace be our guide. The Peace of God which
passes all understanding which set our hearts and minds at rest in Christ Jesus.
When we rest in Jesus it simply means that we can trust Him. No longer do we
labor and struggle within, but we rest in Him knowing that our confidence is in
Him. He says we are to come to Him all we who are weak and heavily laden and we
will find rest for our souls.
Today I encourage you to be sensitive to
the Holy Spirit what He reveals from within during this preparation time for our
Lord's return.
I pray you will be challenged and blessed as I have been,
to rest in Jesus and find rest for our souls, that from within we ca truly
magnify Him with a pure, peaceful and joyful heart. Let us release all those
fears ands cares to Him so our spirits can freely receive His Peace. With this
we will be better equipped to serve Him as we hear Him through His Logos and
Rhema word, exactly what our task is for the day.
I pray you will
receive and wear this Pearl graciously that not only you but others will be
blessed as you bear this witness for our Lord.
Blessings to you and
yours, as together we travel on the Highway of Holiness.In His service,
Pearlene (God's Precious Pearls)

3:17
"For they shall be mine says the Lord of hosts, on that day that I make
them my Jewels,
And I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves
him."
Dear Precious Jewel and co-laborer in Jesus Our Lord and
Savior,
Thank you for your love and encouragement expressed through cards
and telephone calls. I can assure you I was really blessed and encouraged to
know that The Lord spoke directly to your heart. As onedear sister said she is
wearing her "Pearl".
The "Pearl" For March
"The good man
brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man
brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the
overflow of his heart his mouth speaks".
I am enjoying the preparation
for the marriage feast, aren't you? Of course it's not all together easy it just
takes some discipline to remain on course. Staying in the word, obeying its
precepts and praying unceasingly is vital. It is also important that we spend
quality quiet time with our Lord.
I always remind my children as I do
myself that God always has his eyes on us so we must always watch what we do and
say. We must not believe that He hears only the things we utter but our very
thoughts areimprinted on the tablets of our hearts and He reads them constantly.
We know that the enemy constantly seeks to destroy us and the first area
he attacks is our thought life. We are always taught not to believe everything
we hear, but we are to test the spirits. Who is speaking to us? What do we do
with what is said to us? What is the purpose behind what is said to us? Are they
words of life or are they words of death? It is so important especially during
these last and trying days not to be side tracked by thoughts and words that
will hinder our walk and growth in The Lord but to surround ourselves with His
goodness.
Be aware of the friends we keep, and the conversations in which
we participate. Do our conversations edify us and exalt Our Lord, or do they
destroy? What do we allow ourselves to see or hear from the media? Do we waste
God's precious time by watching all the garbage the media portrays?
Today
The Lord is calling us to consecrate ourselves unto Him and this is one of the
virtues of consecration. We are of a chosen generation a Royal Priesthood. In
Royal circles, when one is betrothed to a commoner, he or she is removed from
their former dwelling and placed under the care of an older royal family member
and carefully groomed in every aspects of their lives in preparation for being a
member of that circle and to diligently represent them.
We too are
betrothed to Our Precious Lord Jesus. We are under the grooming of the Holy
Spirit, so let's submit to His will in all aspects of our lives, that we may
dwell and feast on the abundance of His household and truly represent Him
in this dark and evil world. When we can think right, then we can act right and
talk right (smile). Let's pray that 'the words of our mouths and the meditation
of our hearts will be pleasing in His sight' Psalm19:14.
Out of my
Heart
My
heart within me dwell words and thoughts you know so well
Carefully
imprinted on the tablet of my heart
And 'ere from my lips they
part
Lord let me see the purpose of each thought that comes to me
"To
depart from evil" I hear you say
So 'ere I cast them to Thee
Good
thoughts Dear Lord may I ponder be
Always giving honor to Thee
To bless
and edify my soul within
And to share with others great
blessings
Thoughts to build up not destroy
'Cause that's the enemy's
ploy
To kill, steal and destroy that's his will
Your thoughts I pray,
not mine today
Bringing you honor and praise always
Thoughts to build
up not destroy
Thoughts to combat the enemy's ploy
(God's Precious
Pearls)
I pray our Lord will continue to bless you (and yours) from
Mount Zion all the days of your life. (Psalm128:5)
In His
service,
Pearlene ("God's Precious
Pearls")

"For they shall be mine says the Lord of hosts, on that day that I make
them my Jewels,
And I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves
him."
Dear Precious, Precious Jewels and co-laborer in Jesus Our Dear
Lord and Savior,
Thanks once again for your many prayers, cards,
letters and telephone calls from as far as England, UK. I cannot find words to
express how much you have encouraged me. It's an honor to serve our Lord and to
know that His thoughts expressed through me to you have been a blessing. Please
remain on the alter of prayer for "God's Precious Pearls." It has been a
busy time with our children with various schoolactivities etc. The enemy as you
know tries desperately hard to rob us of the things that are dear to us as we
seek earnestly to serve The Lord. Please agree with me in prayer that the time I
need to study Our Father's word and quiet times, will be times undisturbed. Many
of us are wives and mothers and there is always work to do as we diligently
serve our families.........Even now as I write my daughter is placing an order
for a dress to be made. (Smile)
We sometimes become frustrated when
we have not been able to fulfill our daily requirements. Part of my daily
requirements is to spend some time with "My Papa God". Remember however that not
only thatspecial time is required but so is a daily walk. Whatever we are doing
we are always in His presence. There and then are we empowered to do whatever we
have to do, and there and then we can experience thatwhatever we put our hand to
shall prosper. Why? because of His anointing....I am speaking form personal
experience, and I know you too can testify to that.
On May 5th I was
seeking The Lord about this matter letting him know how much I desire to have
that special undisturbed time with Him. This is what He spoke to my heart. I
know in my spirit that these words are not only for me but for all of
us.
"My daughter take heed to my word and do not despise my saying. Today
is a day when you seek me, tomorrow is another, and each day you meet with me I
give you fresh manna. Manna for today, manna fortomorrow. Together they work
hand in hand to nourish you. Speak always to your heart the things I share with
you, they are always there to build you up and edify you, so always cherish
those things I speak you in secret. They are there to strengthen you, not for
you to loose sight or to be weary. Quiet times are essential. It is within these
times I share my heart with you. It is a time for strength and rejuvenation,
when I pour great measures into you, so always treasure these times and gleam
from me.
Precious you are to me and precious are the words I pour
into you. As you receive and become strengthened, strengthen others. Share with
them your hopes and joy in me. In me there is hope and joy no one else can give.
Even now I smile over you and rejoice over you, because I delight in you. You
are mine and you are precious to me. Come always expecting to receive from me.
Do not ever come doubting you will receive from me. I see your heart and the
desires of your heart I grant. Walk in joy and peace always because I go before
you and my path is one of peace and joy. Do not become weary, but always rejoice
because I surround you with singing.
Praise is the essence of the
day. It drives the enemy away, enabling peace to come your way. See me in your
praises, I inhabit them; never doubt that. I always rejoice when I hear songs of
praise and I inhabit them. You are mine my beloved. Rest in that and rejoice.
You are mine. No harm can come near you. I love you so rest in me and rejoice.
Precious days are ahead, so rejoice and walk into them. My children will
experience joy and peace in the troubled days ahead. The world will not know
them, but my children will know them. In the midst of storms and turmoil, my
children will know and experience peace. As you diligently seek me you will
receive strength wisdom and peace, so always pursue that precious time of
fellowship so I can pour into you. I have much to share with you, but they are
only received in secret, soseek me in that secret place of your heart and there
you will find me. I love you".
I praise our Lord for these precious
words of encouragement to all of us. Remember He is a rewarder of all those who
diligently seek him...Hebrews 11:6
May our Lord bless and keep you
(and yours) until we meet again. I love you. Remember to call me and all those
concerning me in payer as I do for you. Please pray in the Holy Ghost for the
family of "God's Precious Pearls", (those to whom these letters are sent). He
knows each heart felt need and He has promised to meet them. I am faithfully
praying for those that have been sent in to me. Please lift up Kevin and Ruth,
precious saints from England, also Kathy and Ethel. Pray in The Holy Ghost, Our
Lord knows their heartfelt needs.
In His
service,
Pearlene (God's Precious
Pearls)

Malachi
3:17
"For they shall be mine says the Lord of hosts, on that day that I make
them my Jewels,
And I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves
him."
Dear Precious Jewel and co-laborer in Jesus Christ our
Lord.
I pray you have not found yourself as busy as I have been, but
praise The Lord He is with us even in our busy schedules and yet it so important
to take the time to sit at His feet, to hear from Him and do what He has
commanded us to do. This what I have been instructed by Our Lord to do, was put
off for a while and without hesitation I know I must be obedient as I want My
Lord to find me faithful. The Lord has given each of us various tasks and I
encourage you today even as I speak to myself to "...work the works of Him who
sent me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work" John 9: 4.
Indeed there is a night coming. As we look around, and as we listen to the news
report, Saints it is near midnight.
In Matthew 24 our Lord shared
with His disciples as He is also speaking to us what to expect during the last
days. Take note of verses 36-44. Indeed we do not know the day or the hour, but
he who has hear to hear let's hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church
today. I don't know about you but I can hear a rumbling.
In verse 45
Our Lord says, "Who then is a faithful and wise servant whom The Lord made ruler
over His household to give them food in due season? V 46 Blessed is that servant
whom his master when he comes finds him so doing." We have the greatest ministry
awaiting us and that is to worship our Lord when we see Him face to face. We
therefore must practice obedience here. AMEN!
During the time of "God's
Precious Pearl's" absence I sought The Lord to ensure that this is what He
really wanted me to do. I even threw out two fleeces and indeed they were wet.
(See Judges 6:36-37)One of my fleeces was for a computer and a good printer and
yes a small copy machine. Two weeks, after without saying anything about this to
my precious husband he shared with me the need for us to get a computer. (I have
been using a very slow lap top computer) He ordered one and took me shopping for
a printer. Thanks to the family of God's Precious Pearls for your continued
prayers. We Praise The Lord for His faithfulness and for meeting all our needs.
Indeed Our Lord "provided the food in due season.".. "Must I then not be found
faithful so that I will be made ruler over all His goods?" v 47 As Our
Lord has revealed to me your forth coming Pearls will sparkle even more because
they have been through a process of polishing. Be blessed as you graciously wear
them to adorn yourselves, the precious "Bride of Christ".
You are all in
my prayers as we labor together before the sun sets. There is much to be done.
There are loved ones to be prayed into the kingdom. This morning as I prayed for
my lost family members it was as though I saw that bowl of incense presented to
The Lord with all their names and I had that sweet assurance that "all is well"
(See Revelation 8:3 - 4). The Lord will send forth His laborers to witness to
them as we are so far away from each other. You see I want us all to be a part
of that great marriage feast with our Lord. I know that is your prayers too, so
as a mighty band of God's army, let's stand together in agreement for our lost
family and friends.
I encourage you today "Precious Pearls", whatever Our
Lord has instructed you to do, do it.
Our Lord has special ways of
redirecting us and keeping us on course. He spoke to me during this time of
redirection, "whatever I have told you to do, do it." During last Wednesday
night's service my Pastor in his message said, "the world need encouragers!" How
much more the body of Christ as we are in a constant spiritual battle with the
one who opposes the Kingdom of God and His precious redeemed children. Those
words little did he know thundered through my spirit. I heard them louder I am
sure than anyone else. As we stand together please join with me in praying for
our persecuted brothers and sisters who a presently suffering severe
persecution. There have been reports of gross persecution especially in the
Sudan and many other countries. We cannot be there with them in the natural, but
spiritually we can be there as we stand in the gap and go to Father God on their
behalf.
Precious Jewels I love you. Thank you also for your calls and
letters of encouragement. It blesses my heart to know that "God's Precious
Pearls" have been a blessing to you.
"Now may the Lord of peace Himself
give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with you all". 2 Thessalonians
3:16.
In His service,
Pearlene ("God's Precious
Pearls")
