Empower me, oh, Lord,
to walk in Your truth.
Empower Me to show forth Your beauty to those I meet
by speaking Your words of truth,
by offering a willing, helping hand and,
by giving of myself, my time, my material blessings.
Empower me, oh, Lord
to show forth the wonder of Your heart.
Enable me to march forth in Your will,
Doing those things that You require of me without the slightest hesitation.
Empower me to walk in the light of Your love, sharing that love with others.
Empower me to speak boldly of my risen Lord, holding back no truth,
speaking with authority and gentleness to the listening ear.
Dear Father, I need You to empower Me by gracing me with more of your Spirit
Your Holy Spirit of wonder,
Your Holy Spirit Who provides peace and power even in the most trying
circumstances.
Father, thank You that You wish to empower Your children.
You have made a way for us to walk in the strength of Your power.
You have graced us with Your wonderful Spirit
Who resides deep within our hearts,
offering us all that we need to overcome in this life.
Thank You for that wonder of wonders, dear Lord.
Thank You for all of the provisions that You have made for Your chosen,
for it is our hearts desire to enter into that place where Your goodness
shines forth as the noonday sun,
giving the boost that we need to advance,
to advance into your holy kingdom of love and light.
Thank You, dear Lord.
Thank You for all that You do,
all that You have done,
and all that You plan to do.
AMEN and AMEN!!!
The One Who is Faithful and True
Mary Clark
December 21, 2006
I am the One Who is Faithful and True. Look to Me, beloved, not the world, to satisfy your heart. I am the One Who gave His life that you might walk in the knowledge of My will for you. Look to Me for guidance. Yes, beloved, look to Me, and rely on Me for guidance.
The hour is coming is soon coming when you will see the glory of the living God manifesting in a very unusual manner. Keep your focus on Me. Keep the lines of communication with Me open and focus on Me and on My word, for the enemy would have you venturing away from the wonder that I have planned for My holy representatives.
I want you awakened to the truth that the One Who is Faithful and True is about to show Himself mighty in your midst. He is about to open wonders to your heart that you have never realized. Be that as it may, the enemy is at work, too. He is trying to head off this wonder of wonders that I am sending your way by distracting you. DONT LET HIM DISTRACT YOU! DONT LET HIM PULL YOU OFF THE COURSE THAT I HAVE SELECTED FOR YOU! This hour divine will bring you new hope, new courage, and the stamina to proceed into the divine will of your God, no matter what is occurring around you. Advance into all to which you have been called, beloved. Again I say, advance, without delay, into all to which you have been called!!!
The Last Trumpet
Mary Clark
December 20, 2006
There is much speculating being done about the events that will follow the last trumpet sounds. There is much wild speculation, and there is much educated speculation, but I tell you truly, beloved, that the truth is all right there in My holy script. It is all right there for you to take hold of and value with all of your heart. For nothing was written that will not take place. Nothing was written that you will not see in all its splendor.
Yes, beloved, I have a plan for My very own, and it is a good plan. I do plan for you to step up out of the unholy and into My love divine in a phenomenal way. If it were not so, I would not have told you so in My word. The exact time is a matter that need not concern you. The time is a matter for which you should be prepared, remaining prepared, until that golden, shining hour when the last trumpet sounds.
Regard these words highly, beloved. Regard My truth and hasten to move nearer to Me than you ever have! Draw close. You never know when the exact hour that last trumpet will sound. Be alert. Be awake. The hour draws NEAR much nearer than you think!!!
*****
1 Corinthians 15:51-51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
Idle Chatter
Mary Clark
December 19, 2006
I want to talk to My dear children about idle chatter. I want you to know that it displeases Me to hear one of My own carrying on idle chatter it displeases Me greatly. I will tell you why: When you participate in this mode of conversation, you find yourself on topics that need not be discussed. You speak words about your opinions about certain persons, situations, or other things that are just not relevant to My cause. I want you to know that idle chatter is harmful. It is harmful to you, to the one to whom you are speaking, and to that absent person who is bearing the brunt of your idle words.
So do Me a BIG favor, beloved. Watch your tongue. Watch that tiny rudder that can take you into places you do not need to go. Watch what you say. Be alert when you feel this particular form of conversation taking shape in your midst, and back away far, far away from those words. If need be, turn and walk away. If need be, get off the telephone. If need be, say these words to your conversation partner or partners: I would rather not discuss this topic. Can we talk about something else? Something that is beneficial to you, to me, and to others? I guarantee you, beloved, that you will cause that other person to think twice about what he or she is saying around you the next time. I guarantee you that you will feel much better at the close of your conversation. You will know that you have done what your Father has required of you and you will be at peace, beloved, at peace deep within your heart, and you will have brought Me much pleasure. For as you walk, seeking after My heart, doing My will, you will see that a living peace will abide deep within your heart and you will know that I am satisfied satisfied with your decision to follow after My course of action instead of speaking words that could be detrimental to those around you and those who are the subject of idle words.
Let it never be that one of My own would speak harmful words about another. May it never be, beloved. May it never be!!!
Where?
Mary Clark
December 18, 2006
Where would we be without You, Lord?
Where would we be without Your gift of love and devotion to mankind?
Where would we be without the sacrifice that You made for a lost and dying world?
Where would we be?
Oh! Where would we be???
Where would we be, how would we get along without You, oh, Lord?
How would we make it day by day in this dark and lonely world?
How would we be able to keep going, if we did not know You, oh, Lord?
Oh, but You have made a way.
You have shined the bright light of Your glory in our direction.
You have revealed Your loving Self to us through Your precious Son.
For this we are thankful, oh, so thankful.
Thank you, dear Lord, for Your sacrifice of love.
Thank You for showing Your deep, abiding devotion to us.
Thank You for opening Your wondrous heart to us,
And inviting us into Your majestic presence.
Oh, Father, at this time of year and all year through, we thank You.
We thank You and praise You that You have made a way
A way into the splendor of Your presence
A way into a place of love and forgiveness.
Oh, Father, where would we be without You?
Where would we be without Your sacrifice?
Oh, dear Lord, where, oh, where would we be???
*****
I tell you, dear child where you would be:
You would be in a lonely and dark place,
But I did not create you to live in a dark and lonely place.
I created you to walk in the light of My love.
I created you to have fellowship with Me
Your Creator.
I made a way for this to happen.
I made a way for you to know My great love for you.
And I have made a way for you to stay in that place forever
Forever locked in the loving comfort of My arms
Forever in that place of sweet sanctity that I offer to whomsoever will come.
Yes, I made a way.
I made a way gladly, and I will keep you, beloved.
I will let no harm near you or near your dwelling.
For why would I make a way?
Why would I make a way and let the enemy get the upper hand?
He shall not have the upper hand.
He shall not succeed in his endeavor to taunt you off your course,
For I am with you.
I shall remain with you,
And forever you shall know My love and goodness.
Forever you shall dwell in the rich, sweet light of My love!!!
Bentwood Chairs
Mary Clark
December 17, 2006
In a vision, I saw some bentwood* chairs scattered around in a gymnasium. Why did You show this to me, Lord?
*bentwood wood that has been bent into a curve, shaped by being steamed, and then put into a mold. It is used to make furniture.
I want My dear children to know something about Me. I want you to know that your eternal God is arranging something that will be to your liking. I want you to know that this arrangement that is coming forthwith is an arrangement that will get the worlds attention. I also want you to know, too, about this forthcoming arrangement of the eternal God: It is by far the most exciting spectacle that you will ever want to see. It is by far the most pleasing spectacle to any eye that will receive it, and give to Me a happy clap offering. For you see, beloved, I am enabling you to prosper in this work, prosper in ways you never dreamed. I am fashioning you into something that will look lovely to the eye, wonderful to everyone who will receive the message that the Lord God Almighty is presenting.
So get ready, dear one. Get ready for a spectacle that will show My beloved some happy surprises some surprises that you will find exhilarating.
Now hear this! Now hear this! The Almighty God is about to present something to His beloved, and when He does, His beloved is going to know some truths with a certainty truths that will sink deep into a heart. The Almighty God is going to present something that will be looked upon as a wondrous occasion. So get ready to identify My will in your life as it comes into play in a mighty way, and know, dear child, that the happening that is occurring is a true to life drama that is being displayed by the hand of the King of glory. Know, too, that arrangements have been made for you to enter into this hour prepared prepared in ways you never dreamed. Get ready! Identify My work as it is displayed before you, and know deep within that the hour of wonder is truly at hand, the hour when the Beloved will shine forth His glory in an extraordinary fashion.
I am calling My beloved to a gathering a gathering of wondrous proportions. Man will feast his eyes on this gathering with awe in his heart. My beloved, those who have been prepared by My hand, will take center stage and perform on My behalf, offering feats that can only be done by the demonstration of My Spirit within that heart. Get ready to show the world what the living God means when He says that He is all-powerful. Get ready to show the world that I am a God Who is without measure the most wondrous in all of My ways.
I am using you, beloved. I have prepared you, and I am using you like you never dreamed. You have been fashioned by My hand to represent Me My will. You have been molded into a very useful vessel, a vessel that I am glad to call My own. I will be with you, comfortably seated within your heart. I will be with you, performing My will through you, and you will see many things and know many truths with a certainty when this hour occurs.
So get ready to walk in the knowledge of My will in stupendous ways, and know that while I am the Giver of all that is right and true, My ways are not your ways. My ways are far, far above your ways. So dont try to understand the occurrences that are taking place. Trust Me to perform My perfect will through you, and know as I take hold of that heart which I call My own that I am fashioning it into something fit for a King fit for a King to enjoy, use, and perform His might and power while He sits in that place of honor that you have given to Me, your heart, that seat that I highly prize, that place where I will direct My will, and you will see My glory shine forth, offering new hope, new peace, and a joy that is unspeakable and full, absolutely overflowing with My glory!!!
