Ishi and I…Hosea 2

Hosea 2:16 And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.

Jesus speaking: I’ve got a candy cane just right for you. It tastes delicious in your mouth and gives you the energy buzz of excitement in your heart and mind. You can sit up here on the tall bar stool in My Heavenly café, and practically drool over all the treats that I have for those who come and sit here with Me. I’ve got all kinds of tastes and styles, shapes and sizes. But only those who come out on a date with Me get to have access to them.

“Let’s try this lollypop.”

You suck and suck on it, until juicy liquid is all over your lips. I smile. You like the treats of Heaven. Now we can share a tall milk shake. We share the cup; we each partake. It’s good, isn’t it? How about a chocolate cake slice filled with delectable creams and syrup? It’s far too sweet for your earthly body to manage, but here in the spirit you can partake of delights that are just right for you.

Put aside the luring attractions of this world that are not fit for a human body, and that only run you down, but take in, take in with gusto and pleasure the sweet meats and sweet treats that I can give you here and now, straight to your heart and mind. It will feel like you have had something better than your most enjoyed treat to eat. Ah, now comes the next one, served on the table counter here for you. You love how you just feel better and better with the delicious dainties that I give; rather than feeling awful like you would on earth if you took in the sugar distractions and mind-and-body-weakening delectables. You look up with a smile at Me. How did I know you’d really like this next dessert? I know you. I made you, remember?

Those things on Earth are just to give you a sample of an idea of what is to come.

With your most favorite dessert in front of you, you can’t wait to get right into tasting it. You say, “Thank you,” and with just about every bite you say it again, in some way. I hold your hand and smile. I really like treating you to all your favorite things. So why did I take you to this place? To show you that you don’t need to be confined to thinking of and dreaming of things only in the way you do in the carnal world you live in. For you can explore new things in the realm of My Spirit. Or the same kinds of things, but just the Spirit’s version of them. You may have never drooled over a lollypop, and you can’t stand candies. But some people like them, and I want them to know that I have far better things than this for them to partake of. And I want you to reach beyond your comfort zone when seeing things in the Spirit. There are things that I wish for you to partake of that might go beyond what you are normally comfortable with or even that go against your grain of personal desires. I’m not here to please you for the sake of it, but for the sake of the Kingdom of God. And like a child at a fancy restaurant, I might offer you new things, teach you new manners, and get you to try things that you never have tasted and tried for yourself. Be open to letting Me show and teach you new things. Don’t be linked to what you have been so far.

For example, is there something you actually have a human fear about, or a great dislike for? Or maybe something that hurt you in the past? Maybe one way I have of bringing healing to you or changing your past and making a new creation out of you is to take you right into that zone, and living it–but in the Spirit. Is there someone who hurt you or you greatly disliked what they did to you? Maybe it’s time to have a spirit adventure with them. They didn’t mean to cause you anguish or heartache. Maybe you can ask Me to put you two together in a vision or a dream, and get to do something far-out—even reliving the thing you didn’t like, but with the perspective of Heaven. I can make you see it all in new eyes. It’s time to burn free and burn the past through new memories. You need to look at everything through a Heavenly perspective. I want to take the distasteful filters away from your retrospect. I want you to enjoy more what I have done with you in your life. Got a painful memory? Ditch it, and relive it with My new eyeglasses, and My new inbuilt feelings. Did you learn something from it? Probably not, or not much, as it was too painful to go through. But think about it now, as you take a spirit trip in mind to that place and time and person. You can even up the intensity of the situation mentally, the actual circumstances, and then ask Me to build new feelings and paint over new memories. I want you to get rid of the bad and foul taste in your mouth and mind, and relive things with My feelings and thoughts now over-riding it. This is a strong cleaning method. For when the past—the ugly view of it—lingers in your mind and thoughts, you’ll never really be clean. The yuckyness of your feeling of a past situation will still pop up in your thoughts and reactions and cause a break in the flow of My spirit, and cause sinful behavior. So think about it now. Take a trip back in the past with Me. Let’s live that again, yes, with those same fault-filled persons, but I’ll give a new spin on it if you listen and look and let Me love away the hurts and negativity. And then, to save you time later on, what is hard for you now? Did something painful just happen, or is happening to you right now? Let Me put on the right spin, and walk you through it, and love you with My spirit, no matter what is happening. Disintegrate the negative, rather than adding that dark rock to your bag of “bad things that happened to me”. Let Me make it vanish right at the start. You’ll certainly have a lighter bag of life to carry around if you learn to do this. 23 I’m not telling to you to deceive yourself, and lie about wrongs, but just to get a new point of view, something outside of the way you see it. Maybe it wasn’t altogether bad; maybe I can work with it to help bring good in your life, even now. This is one way to “milk” each experience you “enjoyed” or lived through, and make them all work in your favor and give you some supplies for your ministry and life here and now today. Let’s work through it, let’s live through it, and let’s let it go.
