Isaiah 6:8

Also I heard the voice of THE LORD, saying,

Whom shall I⁽⁺⁾ send,

and who will go for US⁽⁺⁾ ?

Then said I,

Here am I; send me.

The PRINCE+ of PEACE is The LORD JESUS CHRIST, YeSHUA+ haMOSHIAH+. 

For unto us a CHILD+ is born,

unto us a SON+ is given:

and the government shall be

upon HIS+ Shoulder:

and HIS+ Name shall be called:

Wonderful,

Counsellor,

The Mighty GOD,

The Everlasting FATHER,

The PRINCE+ of PEACE.

^{ISAIAH 9:6} 

YES, we all KNOW this Scripture and AFFIRM it is TRUE.

Why, then, are we NOT filled with PEACE in the inner man? Why are our hearts so full of distress and anguish… so much so that our bodies  often sicken and react in a physical way to the emotional stress in our lives ?

Don’t we often sincerely pray, along with the Prophet Isaiah:

“Here am I; send me.”

?  ?  ?

Listen to this Repentance, prayed in Anguish of Heart:

Oh, LORD JESUS ! Once again, I denied Thy+ Goodness to me when I grumbled about the 20 glaring head-lights piercing the darkness and my eyes last night.

Once again, I denied Thy+ Willing Help in time of stress, angry because I had to “tough it out” , driving down a dark and dreary road.

What a wretch I am !

THOU+ hast ever kept me SAFE on all these dark roads whenever THOU+ hast sent me forth. How many, many times I could not see when backing, when parking, when turning onto a side road. Yet, THOU+ diligently have kept me safe each time.

O LORD JESUS, I stand ashamed, knee-deep in the midst of my own pool of filth… attitudes full of self-pity, bitterness … and a hardened heart.

LORD JESUS, I repent with sorrow of heart.

How OLD must I be to walk better with THEE+  in the midst of trials ?

I humble myself to ACCEPT THE CONDITIONS that THOU+ hast allowed to befall me , in the place of Service THOU+ has put me.

I am nailing my grumbling tongue, my bitter thoughts, my SELF-occupied heart to the Cross . For it is THERE, O JESUS, that I will find THEE+.

At that very Place of ANGUISH , I find THEE+ waiting… waiting… waiting for me to come and walk Hand in Hand with THEE+ through the trial.  

<(((><

“Must it be in anguish of heart, LORD ?”

“Yes, My+ daughter. At that very place I+ await you.

“You will receive the Victory over Self there, in My+ Presence.

“I+ will make the bitter waters sweet for you IF you accept the Path as from My+ Hand --- that very path I+ have laid out for you this day, this hour, this minute.

“Look not for tomorrow’s Path. I+ will show  you that when “tomorrow” is here; walk with ME+ today.

“Be not as the horse or mule which have NO understanding and whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle.”

<(((><

 HERE am I, LORD JESUS. Send me.

Into that place where I am in anguish of heart… where YOU+ await. 

Into that place where my heart suffers blows for Your+ Name’s sake… where YOU+ await.

Into that situation I cannot change and YOU+ won’t… so that I can bear fruit in abundance for THEE+, to lay at Thy+ Nail-scarred feet.

 How do I love THEE+ , LORD JESUS ?

Let me count the Nails … and bring those fruit-bearing Nails into mine own heart , cherishing each hard thing for YOUR+ Name’s Sake.

For I am THINE+ … and I love THEE+, LORD JESUS.  

<(((><

This is the Path of PEACE with CHRIST JESUS, with GOD our FATHER,  which HE+ has made available to EACH ONE of us,  on the paths HE+ has chosen for us.

YES indeed, HE+ is our PEACE that has made us ONE with HIMSELF+ and our HOLY, HEAVENLY FATHER . . .  as we pick up our CROSS and die daily to our Self.

Only JESUS

can turn our Mourning

into Dancing !

WORTHY IS THE LAMB+ !
