VATINA….OCTOBER 16, 2020 
(Received by MB)
(Vatina speaking: ) This is the day of new wine and it is very exciting indeed, I’ve just been walking through one of the cellars of heaven and it is full to brimming over with new wine, vintages of all ages also oils and balms in abundance. You can picture the cellars here anyway that you would like, whatever desire of cellar design you may hold in your heart can be found and they are always set in the most pleasant locations. The cellar I entered today had a long winding stairwell that led down into a wide spacious underground type room, all in stone, but not cold and lifeless, it was warmly lit by candles and low hanging oil lamps set in walls or niche archways or hanging from the ceiling over the vats and tables or tucked in some comfy corner. This isn’t the only cellar mind you, there are countless in number and each one has different ways to enter their interior, neither are all cellars as you would picture an earthly cellar to be, although there are those types too. However the one I entered was like an earthly cellar; and that’s the picture I planted in your mind’s eye. The vats were all oaken and had these ornate taps. They are all lined up against one rough stone wall and there is this big large oaken table with stools running right along in front of the vats. Over against the other wall across from the table is a lounge area where you can sit and enjoy a more leisurely draught of your special brew or vintage. Now I was never a drinker on earth, but here, well here I’ve become quite a frequent flyer to this particular drinking spot. Now that’s funny, but many times I like to fly to where I want to go or visit, strolling is nice but flying is a very relaxing way of getting around heaven. Anyway I almost always fly to this particular cellar and have become one of its oft seen patrons. It’s a wonderful place to fellowship; the private tables are so cozy and set in certain ways as to give those sitting at them a warm out-of-the-way atmosphere. I get some of my best ideas whilst sipping some exotic elixir alone in a corner within the seclusion of this my favorite cellar. How it works here, isn’t quite like you would imagine, for example these huge vats, and there are small ones too, are filled with certain vintage and are labeled just a little above the tap. You can ask the attendant to serve you such and such a vintage or you can ask him, or if you prefer, her, to suggest the house special for that day. So today I went to the cask myself because I wanted the experience of seeing the fresh new wine pour out of its ornate wooden tap into my glass chalice, this one sparkled and made this gorgeous music that really made me desire what was in store for me today. I looked over to where my favorite spot was and saw my old friend there waiting for me. We had arranged to meet this day and hour to discuss a few ideas for this visit to you. It does take a bit of planning; especially if you or the dear one on earth that we want to visit isn’t expecting us. So I strolled over to my girlfriend taking a few moments to chat or greet someone or a group of people as I wended my way across to the lounge area. Unlike earthly wines and liquors that eventually leave you stupefied, these many flavored crystal colored blends open up portals in your mind. The very first time I visited a cellar was with Jesus, He brought me to this very one, well my first sip almost shocked me because suddenly I was passing through a mind doorway, an entranceway that I didn’t even know existed, it was a door into another world and place in time where I could actually begin to coexist with the other beings and experience what they experience in their world. It’s all very vivid and real and you can even come back with a diary of your experiences. The more powerful cocktails can take you into these worlds for what seems like hours, and you never come back feeling blue. You can go with a companion, which is what I did with my friend on this day that I am now describing to you. Although I go alone sometimes, I would say my most thrilling and educational trips have been with Jesus. He is, by far, the best and most informative guide in the city of light, and He is always available and very willing to be your elixir experience.

01—EXPLORING JESUS AND HIS REALM:  “Thirsty for a cup of tea?” (BY VATINA)  1-OCT-2020
I’m getting my cup of tea set up here. I’ve got my notes, and pen to write down new thoughts. And I’ve got you, sitting there ready to listen—like a tea cup ready to be filled. With my pen I pour out and fill the thirsty, the cold, and the forlorn. I know those are the ones I fill, because the full and the empty who aren’t thirsty or cold or in need don’t want anything I have to offer. 
But you sit there ready to listen. And why do you listen to little, simple, ignorant me, who doesn’t know anything unless I’ve learned it from the Lord? Because you want to “learn of Him” too, just like I have done. 
Matthew 1:29—"Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.”
You can get a lot of these lessons of life for yourself, right from Jesus’ Spirit. You don’t have get these sips from the cup I pour, in the flavour it comes when His hot water is poured into my little humble clay pot, that always needs a refill.  But isn’t it nice that we get to sit together, to sip His tea that will warm us both? It’s pleasant and can fill another need—the need for friendship and togetherness. Right? 
So let’s get started. As you can see I’ve already brought out a lesson from the items here. But there is more I want to explore with you. But before we go on, shall we also share a breath of prayer to Jesus. Why don’t you say something from your heart just to Him, and I’ll do the same. 
(Pause for personal prayer and praise)
Well, now that we’ve touched the King, now let’s see what He might want to show us from this little precious promise: 
Hosea 3:5 — “Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.”
There has always got to be a returning. “In returning and rest shall ye be saved” it says in Isaiah 30:15.
Here is another passage on “turning” to the Lord. It’s a prayer asking for the Lord to turn us around so we can be facing Him again, and not walking off in to the darkness. 
Psalm 80:7—"Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.”
So why do we want to face Him, turn to Him? Right! So we can be saved.
It says it in Revelation 2:5 “and repent, and do the first works”; that is to turn again. To be granted Salvation, that is to be saved in a special way—not just from some mishap while on Earth, but really saved and rescued and saved for God’s use, forever. The people God created need to “repent”. They need to want Jesus more than their old past lives and the sin and darkness. They need Jesus to cast it all away like a stone sinks into the ocean.
Otherwise, you’ll sink into the sea of death. So you want Jesus to pick you up, and save you, like it says in this passage from Psalms:  “He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.” (Psalm 18:16)
Did you notice a little word within that word “repent” that sounds a bit like “pant”. And that reminds some of you of that lovely description of a person’s earnest desire for the Words of Jesus, like a thirsty hart. It’s spelt differently than a heart that a person has in their soul. This verse is talking about a type of deer with antlers. This is one of those special little puns included in the written Word of the Lord. Be like a thirsty hart. Jesus will satisfy your thirsty heart. 
Psalm 42:1-2—"As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?”
If you hunger and thirst after Jesus’ Words—the Word of God—those “wonderful words of life” that He wants to tell you right now, here and now, even while I’m talking with you, then you will be filled. 
Psalm 143:6—"I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.”
Matthew 5:6—"Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.”
But you have to be thirsty, and you have to be hungry and longing for something other than the froth and silly things this world tries to offer. Those are the ones who truly get filled. 
This cup of tea that you are sharing with me won’t do you a bit of good, unless, as the apostle Paul says, it
“…is received with thanksgiving” and “sanctified by the Word of God and prayer.” (See 1 Timothy 4:4-5)
Think of “sanitize”, cleanse, and that helps you understand “sanctified”. Something that is made clean and special for the Lord to use. He likes His vessels to be clean. And to wash them up sometimes He needs to turn things upside down for a bit.
Oh, did you hear the word “turn”? Does that sound like “return”? Here’s what Jesus said about dishwashing, and how to do it right. He knows how to make things clean. After all, that’s why Jesus was on Earth, so we could all be clean.
2 Kings 21:13— “I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it, and turning it upside down”.
Matthew 23:25-26— “…ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess…. cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.”
As we just read in 1 Timothy 4:4-5, we see that we can be cleaned through what? 
--Praising God, letting His Word cleanse you, and praying. 
And I’ll give you a tip, when you praise Jesus for His Word, and are really happy to imbibe, or to drink it in, then it does you a whole lot more good. If you want to have something delicious, see what Jesus has to say to you right now. He’ll speak to the hearts and souls that are hungry and thirsty, and clean. 
Sometimes a bit of a scrub with the already recorded and written Word can clear things out; and some good prayer time where you tell Jesus that you want to get back into full and clear communication with Him again. You tell Him that you don’t want to hold on to your bad thoughts any longer. (You know those thoughts that echo in your head telling you how poor things are for you, and how bad everyone around you is being.) You don’t want to dirty your mind and smearing your vision with the dirt and mistakes of others. Tell Jesus that You don’t want to be keeping your eyes on the wrongs. You instead you really want to look at Jesus, and take good clean shower.
Then He comes and talks to you about those things that are troubling you, and He walks you right out of the garden of weeds and into His fruit and berry patch. You sit down for a fresh and fun picnic with Jesus, when He is allowed to speak special words right to you, right then. He’ll “pick” just what is right to share with you. 
Is there another “4:4” numbered first in the Bible that comes to mind when you think of eating, and God’s Word? Did you think of Matthew 4:4 like I did? Let’s read it: "But [Jesus] answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”
So the best, ultimate nourishment any of us can take in is the fresh, warming, live-giving Words Jesus wants to speak to our hearts, right here and right now. And since we have to be clean to receive it fresh from Jesus, then we can review or listen to the written words of the Lord first. These act as a good washing agent. That opens up the eyes of your mind to see and hear the latest information, and heart stirring concepts that bring you right up to date and get you active for the Lord. 
The written words of the Lord those He “has spoken” can clean you, as it says here:
“Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.” (John 15:3)
And the new fresh Word of God, spoke by His alive Spirit that is always ready to speak, brings life and joy to us. Here you see in this next passage that it’s talking about the Word of God that will still be spoken to His disciples even after Jesus would ascend up to Heaven. His living words; those that He “speaks”, anytime, all the time.
John 6:62-62—"What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”
So keep drinking in the life-giving, heart-warming words from Jesus, today, right now!

02—EXPLORING JESUS AND HIS REALM:  “The Lord’s Eyes are Watching” (BY VATINA)  		15-OCT-2020 
It’s lovely to be here with you again. I look into your eyes through the text you are reading and I can see if you are actually really listening, or just glancing while wishing to be somewhere else, doing something else. It might look just like text on a page or on a computer screen, but think of God’s Word in textual form more as eyes. “The eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth.” (2 Chronicles 16:9)
What eyes? What are His eyes? His spies of course! But God’s spies are unable to be captured and quizzed about their activities, and punished for being on the wrong team. No. God’s spies, His messenger boys and girls, work nearly totally in secret, infiltrating every part of society. 
It is these messengers that capture the youth with the truth, and that pry into their hearts and minds to get them to think about the tough questions of life. –For each one on earth is going to need to stand before the throne of God one day and give an account of their life. Hard questions are going to be asked, and those who took the time to really listen to God’s messengers and take notice of the messages that He sent, will be able to give the answers.
Think of it as an entrance exam. What you have found out and learned while in this life, and what you have done with the knowledge God allowed you to partake of, is in many cases what will determine your next station of service. There are exceptions, of course, from a God of mercy and justice. But don’t think that you can just fool around with the promises of God and ignore vast vats of wisdom granted unto you, and think that it won’t matter. It will matter in the final outcome of what you are granted the authority to do or have in the world to come. 
God’s spies, God’s eyes are all around, searching you out. Both His messenger boys and girls in the form of angelic assistance, as well as the written Word that searches out your heart and speaks to you. Through God’s Word He looks right into you, and through His Word He can see what you are thinking and how you react. 
It’s not a light thing to be looking into the face of the very Word of the Almighty God. When you get the privilege of looking at a page of words that are trying to convey a bit of God’s thoughts to you in your language and in a way you can assimilate it, it’s like you are looking right into the very eyes of Jesus, who is the Word. 
Don’t think you can get away with distracting thoughts and a lack of attentive focus. He sees. He knows. And you know what else? Yes, He feels. He feels when you are hungry to know more truth. He understands when you have had enough and just need some time to digest what you have taken in. He knows if you are doubting His very real existence, or if His Words mean anything to you.
 Ah, this life can be so, ever so deceptive to the vast amount of humans walking on this planet. In a world where what you say and do can make things happen, it’s easy to think that you are more powerful than you really are. 
Really, the way it is, is that what you think and say and wish for, the great God of the universe is granting—but only for a time. What are you going to do with freedom? If you could really be free from the “God” factor telling you what to do or say, what would you do? And so a lot of people get themselves into this make-believe world thinking, “I am boss; and what I say is what happens.” But if they would only see the real way it is: that God has granted them all their wishes, good or bad, just to see what they would do. 
One day the test will come, and all will need to give account. The real wake-up will come when they see that in the real world God always was and always will be in control. And due to their wicked choices they have worked themselves into a tight and uncomfortable position in the world to come.
 If they could willingly forfeit a bit of that so called “freedom do to as they wished” and instead submit themselves into the hands and rule of the God who always was and always will be in control, real control of their lives, things would go so much better. But no, they want to party now, and hope the bill to pay for it won’t be too high later on, or rather that there won’t even be a bill and cost. 
However, you who take Jesus at His Word seriously, who look in to His eyes, through looking into His Word, are the wise ones. You’ll party for sure, for you did your homework now. Graduation to the next life won’t be a time of public humiliation, but of joy. 
See, those who get famous now, and for all the wrong things, will be the most embarrassed when the time comes and all that is in secret is then revealed. The more famous they were, the more people who knew them when they were promoting all the wrong things and making the wrong choices—choices they were applauded and cheered for by the Earth dwellers—the more embarrassment they will feel, because so many people knew them. Seek not for fame, but seek to know the mind of Christ.

03—EXPLORING JESUS AND HIS REALM:  “Delightful Divine Meditation with the Master, Jesus”  (BY VATINA)  12-NOV-2018
Turn to the first psalm, the first part of the psalm and see what it says.
Psalm 1:2—But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
“His delight”. What is delight? It’s joy, right? Something that makes you really glad, that sparks you with pleasure, that makes you feel glad to be living, and have something to live for. 
What does it mean to meditate? I’m not talking about the funny things people do these days to try to connect with their inner being. That’s not what this psalm means. It’s all about time alone with Jesus in the secret place of your heart, the inner room of your soul, where all those private thoughts and feelings are kept.
Matthew 6:6— But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
There is a place in the soul of each person for private thought, and Jesus wants you to let Him in that room. He wants to sit down with you and chat things over. So you get quiet and enter this quiet zone, this place of private thoughts, where you hunger after truth and want to be loved; where you wish for the pain of the troubles of your heart to stop. Then you let Jesus speak to you.
It really is like a room. Can you imagine a room that is within your mind and heart, a place your spirit lives? It’s not confined to the physical size of your body. Your spirit’s special room for communing with your Lord, is as big as you imagine it to be. It could be a large banquet hall with streamers and chandeliers, and a huge table with every type of food you could imagine displayed there for you to fill your dish with, or perhaps the room of your soul that you want to invite the Lord of your life into is a privately study room, with a cozy fire place, a table and lamp, and the guest of honour can sit beside you there and chat with you. 
Or maybe you prefer the outdoors and your room is as big as a deserted beach with rolling waves and a bamboo and palm branch shelter where you and your Lord sip on coconut milk and nibble fresh fruit from tropical trees. Maybe the room of your heart is on a ship, and you can commune with the captain of your life about the stormy times you are going through. 
And each time you get quiet in your secret chamber or private place with Jesus, you could be in a different setting, if you like. However you are feeling that day, set up a place just the way you like it, imagine all the right settings, something you think Jesus would find lovely, pure, and is also relaxing for you. Take away the impure thoughts that try to cloud up the room, and just make the space and time to commune.
Now imagine you are alone there, in that place, and hear the knock on the door, or see Him ready to approach, and beckon Jesus to enter and be with you, just you alone. There is no one else around in these times, besides some angels that might want to visit and chat with you as well. 
Can you imagine yourself there now? Are you ready? Now let your heart let go of the burdens that are troubling you. Just realise that just as you can’t make yourself grow taller and faster, (Matthew 6:27) or change the colour of your hair (Matthew 5:36), you can’t do anything, not a single thing about the things troubling you—unless the Master of Life moves in you, and does things for you and with you, and makes it possible. 
So tell Him what is on your heart, or ask for forgiveness for things that you have done that have hurt and offended Him and others. Then know that He looks at you with love in His eyes and is so glad that you are there talking with Him. When you are ready and at peace, and have let Him place His arms around you in a warm and accepting embrace, be still and ready to hear whatever He wants to tell you. 
Imagine if you had a child—or if you, do then it’s easy to think about this one; or if you are a child, imagine if a parent could never speak with their child, or they were deaf and couldn’t hear them speak. Think of all the things you’d miss being able to do together. Could you sit and read stories together? Could you make up fun songs? Could you call out when the meal was ready? There are countless games that couldn’t be played, because they involve talking and listening. And questions couldn’t be answered. Teaching and learning would be very hard.
So it is with your Heavenly Father. It’s very important that you are able to listen to Him, and that you give Him time to talk. It’s one of His most important needs, as your Heavenly Parent, to be able to speak what is on His heart, and say what He knows you  need to hear and teach you what is important that you learn, and that He can express His love to you in this way also.
So when you are alone in your private study, or quiet place, your special spirit room, or nature area, take time to just stop and listen, and in quietness and confidence will be your strength. 
Isaiah 30:15—For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.
Isaiah 30:7—Their strength is to sit still.
Philippians 4:13—I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Daniel 11:32—The people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
Time with the Saviour, letting Him speak is what gives your spirit strength. And you are going to need it! 

Here are some signs when someone’s spirit is weak and in need of strength.
•	When they easily lose control of their emotions, and things seem too hard for them.
•	When fears alarm them, meaning they must be feeling smaller and weaker than whatever it is that is taking away their faith in God’s help.
•	When they can’t stop themselves from speaking whatever is on their mind, and they have weak lips that can’t hold tight when it is best.
•	When they get easily angry at things that aren’t evil, but just a personal bother, and things easily irritate them.
These are some signs of weakness. There are others, and maybe you will think of some too, some signs when you or those in your family are getting weak and need some time with the strongest Guy in the universe to impart His strength of spirit to you. It affects your body and the world around you too, in real physical ways. 
So what are you to “meditate” on? Well, once you are in the private nest, shelter, and cozy place with Jesus (Psalm 91:1) and you are talking and listening to Him, then think about what He tells you—and what He has said in the Bible before. 
Think about a verse that the Holy Spirit might be bringing to your mind, or that you have just read then for your special time with the Master. Thinking about the written word that has been passed on down through the years from one generation to the next, is a great way to “learn of the Master”. There is so much that even a single passage can lead you to understand. So it’s good to think about them, pray, and see what you can learn. 
So do you have it down now? 
--First get quiet, then enter your private place in your mind and heart—a place in the spirit. Invite Jesus to be with you there. 
--Tell Him what is on your heart, and then listen to hear what He wants to say. Think about a Bible verse and learn something from it, by listening to His spirit speaking.  
--Hug and love your dearest friend, praising Him in all the ways He likes. And then let Him fill you with joy and peace. 
You will go away from your time with the Master stronger and refreshed. People will notice that you are happier, and they will be happier around you as well. 
Enjoy this time three times a day if you can—morning, noon and night; as soon as you wake, and sometime in the day, and then before you go to sleep when all is again quiet. It’s like doing repetitions in an exercise program. If you do them right, and do it more than just once in a while, but several each day, you start getting more fit and stronger. 
Do three a day—to stop, look and listen: Stop (what you are doing), look (imagine your lovely place of quiet with Jesus, and look into the Word for a passage or verse to mediate on) and listen (to what He wants to tell you, and let Him listen to your heart as well; and listen to His thoughts on verses from the Bible.) 
Psalm 37:4—Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Proverbs 3:6—In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

For the really vigorous they might stop more often that just three times—seven times or more, depending on how much strength they need and wish to get. 
Psalm 55:1— Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.
Psalm119:164—Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments.

These are the ones that can run marathons in their work for the Lord and “run and not get weary”. It stocks them up so they can just keep going and going in pouring out and helping others.
Isaiah 40:29-31; 41:1—He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. 
Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment.

 A few minutes with the Lord every hour or two keeps those who have vigorous and strenuous lives able to keep up a fast and hard pace without wearing out and breaking down, and needing long times of recovery. One way or the other your human frame and mind and body can only manage a certain amount, and then you need to keep getting power from On High. 
(To young ones: ) But for your life now, when you aren’t expected to work hard yet, and don’t have a whole lot of interaction with people, just three times a day for your quiet and personal time alone with the Lord, giving a few moments of your time should keep you going, and give you strength. 
Of course you need your reading and study time, as well, like any  “workman that needeth not to be ashamed”. 
2 Timothy 2:15—Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
 That is part of your work, you know? Reading and reflecting on, memorising and learning the scriptures is your job, part of it. So be a good hard worker, and don’t be surprised if it seems like work at times, because it is. But it should be like a hike up a mountain and when you get there you find a refreshing and clear stream to swim in and be refreshed. 
When you really enter into the presence of the Lord by opening the door of the book of His Words, you find it will delight you and refresh you. You’ll always go away feeling better, unless you haven’t really opened your eyes to behold the “wonderous things”. 
Psalm119:18—Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.
You have to be looking to see. You have to be looking for the special things the Lord wants to point out to you. You have to know there is love behind every word of scripture that you read and study. Eat the love. Eat the love of God as you partake of the bread of life and take it into your soul. Then you shall have “rest unto your soul”. 
MAT.11:28-29—Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

It’s like exercise that leaves you with more vigour than you felt before you started off. It should get your heart pumping with vigour and make you want to move and do what it is saying, because of the Love of God that constrains you and motivates you. 
2 Corinthians 5:14—For the love of Christ constraineth us.
God is a moving God, He moves you to do this and that, and keeps you on the move, progressing and taking action.

04—EXPLORING JESUS AND HIS REALM:  “Fitting Joy in your Heart”  (BY VATINA)  28-SEPT-2020
Praise God! I am delighted to be with you all here today for another time of worship and praise and learning of the Master. You have just heard a lovely song played to you from a spectacular Heavenly choir, and that leads me to some thoughts that I’d like to share with you today. I’m sitting here with Jesus. I’m in His embrace, the place I love to be the most. So to you it will sound like a prayer I am saying, but for me here, I am looking into the eyes of the face of love, feeling the heart beat of Jesus, and speaking right to Him.
Dearest Love, Thank you for letting me have this special Heaven Call that I can give to those listening. I was faithful to talk on radio while on Earth, and now you’ve rewarded me with a much greater audience to reach, those in the realms beyond and even some below who you have allowed to listen in. You’ve got an amazing network set up to reach people. There is never a moment when Your spirit isn’t calling people to Your side.
I am so glad that you called me. Please help me to recall the special things you were sharing with me earlier, in ways that others can clearly relate to. Since I get the privilege of hearing things from Your lips, I want to pass it on. (Kiss)
Now if you turn to the first chapter of Hebrews you’ll see a passage that I want to bring to mind. It says, “But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.” (Hebrews 1:8-9)
When I was on Earth I used to wonder how to get that deep and abiding “joy of the Lord”. Here is says the formula for us, the one’s God made, to let His joy be apart of us. 
Firstly, we are to let Christ be our king, to rule in our lives. Later on in the passage you’ll see it speaks of God as the creator Lord. So first of all you need to know He owns what He’s created, and can rule it however He likes. 
Then you need to know that He does all things well. You can’t be holding grudges over the way He’s worked or is yet working in your life, if you wish to experience joy. You can have joy in hard times, but only if you trust Him that He knows how to bring out the best and will do what is right for you and for others. You trust that He uses the right measures, never allowing something to be too much for you. He is righteous and does all things in righteousness. If you let Him take care of judging what is right and what is not, then you have a whole lot less to worry about, and you’ll have room in your heart for joy, right?
Then the last point is you are to hate, along with God’s Son, anything evil that the enemy is trying to place in the way—thoughts, emotions, ideas, pictures, songs. Anything that isn’t of God. You hate it as much as God does, and you repel it. You don’t give place to anything of the dark side. For the moment that you do, out goes your joy. 
Jesus and joy fit nicely in your heart.
I remember one time I was having such a hard time remember things—things I was to do, or say. I tried to write things down, but then my notes got lost. The enemy tried to let it prove to me how useless and in capable I was. 
That is the biggest killer to joy, feeling you are not needed and aren’t of any use. So I started thinking things over a bit. But when the enemy comes in, I have to put up a shield, or else the lie might become a reality, and I really won’t be of much use for anything but crying. 
So I pulled out my shield, my Bible, and just stared reading, “God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love…”  It’s God that empowers us. Of course I can’t of my own self do this or that. I absolutely must depend on Him to do things through me and with me. I praised Him for things that keep me humble, for that will keep me close to Him. “Without Me you can do nothing,” I read in John Chapter 15. If making mistakes makes us want to abide more in Him, then that is good. 
So the fear of being good for nothing had to leave. I claimed and prayed for His power to fill me. I didn’t need to have notes. The Holy Spirit could bring all things to my remembrance. God is not limited by what I could do, my physical or mental limitations. He can use anybody, anytime, if they are willing.
And right then, as I let in the light of these truths, I found my missing notes. They were being used as a bookmark for a talk I had given the night before. Praise God! So it all worked together for good in the end. The devil tried to steal my joy and keep me from my Lord, but it only drew me closer to Him, and brought an answered prayer. 
He works in special ways. 
And when you learn from Him and His Word, this is one of the main ways He uses to anoint you with the oil of the Spirit and gladness. 
Isn’t it one of the most confusing things when you don’t speak a language in a place you are visiting? You try to read the signs, or to get help, but you end up going around in circles? You don’t know what road to go down or up, or where this will lead. And worst of all you fear you’ll miss the plane or bus or train or whatever, because you can’t find your way around. Even if you were visiting a really nice place, the being lost part steals the joy. 
So that is why reading God’s Word, with help of His Holy Spirit to explain it to you, makes you so happy. You can enjoy the place you are in, because you know the way to go. God’s Word tells you what is right and what is wrong, and then you can relax knowing you are on the right road that will get you to your destination. You can enjoy the scenery. You aren’t lost, confused or doubting if you are on the wrong path.
Joy comes most easily to those who fill up with God’s loving voice and caring instructions, and who choose to stay on the side of right. Trying to run things yourselves, or make up what you think is right, isn’t going to bring much joy, because you can’t reward yourself. Only God can do that, and joy is one of the rewards for those who stick nice and close to Him, and who repell all that is evil. 
Keep looking to the light and enjoy another day, free of care. Jesus takes care of the burdens, all we have to do is believe, and receive the help.
Yours in Jesus name, Virginia.

05—EXPLORING JESUS AND HIS REALM:  “Time in the Temple Today”  (BY VATINA)  5-SEPT-2020	
Here I am with another meditation moments time of praise and worshiping our Lord and Love, the King of all that is good and lovely, pure and excellent. All good gifts from His hand. All we need to do is say, “Yes, please, I’ll take some of that,” and then thank Him for the gifts that He eagerly wishes to bestow. 
So, what will you take from His outstretched hands today? A bit of peace? A heap of love? A new fervency in prayer?
You know it doesn’t do all that much good for you if gifts are just left in a box, unused. You might have thanked the giver, but until you actually put them to use, it’s like you never got them. 
Try it today. Think of something that you really could use more of—something that His spirit alone can gift you with. And then ask for His help to put it into practice, to put that gift into good use. And once you step out to try, even with the smallest step or gentlest whisper, then boom, the gift comes fully into your hands. The gift is yours. You have to do your part to reach out and begin to use it. 
Then you can thank Jesus all over again for the gift, once you see it in action and see how it is helping you and helping others. And what is the end result? That we get big and powerful in ourselves and collect a lot of vainglory and success? No. 
So why do we need the gifts and fruits of His spirit to be given to us and powerfully affect us? So we’ll love Jesus more. And so that He has chance to love us more and more. It’s all about love, really.
Let’s take the gift of patience. It’s really something none of us are born with, yet everyone that wants to ever succeed in any aspect of life has got to have patience. So if you lack patience, ask of God, “who giveth to all men liberally”. I know that passage is talking about wisdom as the prime example, but it’s like that with any of the gifts and fruits of His Holy Spirit. You ask, and He has more than enough to give. 
If you need patience, just ask for it. He won’t condemn you for your lack of it when you are asking for more. It’s not to just humiliate you, that He requires you to ask for something you need. But it’s to show you love. He loves giving gifts. He wants you to praise Him, and He loves to give you things to praise Him for. It’s a fatherly relationship He’s trying to work on when He says “Ask, and I’ll give you gifts.” 
Imagine it like a father who owns a huge shop, selling all kinds of produce. If his young son visited him at the store and was hungry, he’d just need to ask, and then his father would give him a snack. The toddler or young child wouldn’t be expected to pay. That is what fathers are for, to supply the needs of their children. 
So for those of us who are children of God, who have taken the entrance passage way through the suffering and salvation through Jesus Christ, we can just ask for whatever is needed. 
Some requests that come to the Father are far out, but the Father of us all listens patiently and gives out what is really best. 
He knows each child, each of us, and He will give only that which is for our good. But you have to do the asking, that’s your part. Because He wants each need to be a stepping stone to a closer relationship with Him. 
It’s to be more than a business encounter, but a friendship and helpmeet. In a business arrangement you might put in a request, and then walk away, glad to get what you need. But if a different business had supplied this need for you instead, it wouldn’t make any difference to you, if only getting what you want is all you are after. 
However, if the owner of the company was your father, you’d go to him to supply it, because you knew he would give the best things, and gift them freely too. It would be a reason for you to talk and enjoy each other’s company. You don’t just want the product, but the relationship—especially if what you are asking for is what you need in order to do something your father needed you to do. You are both helping each other. 
And the Father loves for you to come to Him, and hopes you’ll linger in His presence long enough to make your acquaintance with Him. To get to know Him personally. He wants to hear how things are going—your account of it, in your own words. And He wants to know how you are going to put this gift He’s giving you to good use. 
And He’ll love to have you return again to meet and tell Him how much the gift has helped you in your life. Then it’s not just a business exchange, but a means to grow in a closer friendship and comradery.
What do you need Jesus to do for you—or to be for you? Ask Him. He loves to hear from you. Tell Him of your lacks, the lacks in your nature and how you just can’t be all that you know He wishes you were, but that with His help, you’d really like to be what He needs. 
Then let Him tell you all that He would like to be for you. All the empty places in your life that He can fill just perfectly. 
It may not be something you understand just today, or even for a while yet. But as you get to know the nature of Jesus, and how He loves to fill your heart and bring joy and satisfaction, you’ll see how much He loves you, and is very capable of being for you what you need. 
When you get to the point that you can really open up your heart to Him in prayer and express all those deep things that are going on in there, that’s when you start to feel Him taking a more predominant role in your heart and mind and life. Then He starts to do things that you can’t do for yourself. He can heal that hurt that’s been there for a long while. He can give joy instead of the sorrow you feel. He actually does things for you—in body, healing; in mind, changing; in spirit, refreshing. And so much. You actually change and are renewed after presenting to Him your needs. 

I took time today in the Temple of God
 A place where the two of us meet
I gave Him my empty and broken jar
As I poured out my tears on His feet

Yes, I took time, I took time
For meeting with Jesus takes time
But oh what I gained, 
Far more than I missed
For Jesus refills every time.

I gave Him my best in our time now today
My best was to say I had need
He took my hands and drew me near 
Saying, “I have all you’ll ever need.”

So now I take time, always taking time
To sit at the dear Master’s feet
It’s here that I learn
That He helps me to live
For Jesus makes all lives complete.

The day went so fast, and I missed His dear presence
Not His fault but mine to be sure
I crumbled and stumbled at fall of the day
Holding my plans not His pleasure.

When woke the next morning, I scarcely did move
Unless it was to reach His heart
“Darling, My Dear, for You I am here”
He replied, “That’s the right way to start.”

Oh I took time, a wonderful time
Jesus and I spending time
He took my cares
And replaced them with joy
For His gifts come with spending time.

06—EXPLORING JESUS AND HIS REALM:  The Lord is my strength (BY VATINA)  10-SEPT-2021
God bless you, my dears. I am thrilled just to have the chance to speak to you all once again. Praise the Lord for His supernatural assistance that makes talking like this possible. Well, let’s get started, shall we? Let’s pray.
Dearest Jesus, the One we belong to, please open our eyes now to behold wonderful things out of Your Word. 
Well, the passages that I’d like to go over today are, 
Psalm 60:11—Give us help from trouble: for vain in the help of man.
Psalm 18:1—I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.
Psalm 121:2—My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.

(Prayer continues: ) Lord, You took us and You drew us out of many waters, out of deep and dark times. You set us up on a rock. And here we sit now, on the rock of stability amid a sea of confusion and indifference to the Word of God. But here we sit, solid on the rock foundation that we are to safely build our life’s goals on. If we have any other plans or wishes that have no foundation, or rest not upon the true things You teach us Jesus, then one day it’ll all be thrown down. 
Please teach us, Jesus, that the only way to be strong, really strong in thee, Lord, is to build bit-by-bit on the solid truths that You alone know; truth that come right from Your heart, and that You can teach us. Amen.
If we look to the wisdom of this world, we’ll only get mixed up signals and a mass and mess of confusing voices, each one stating that their “facts” are the real ones. But if their so-called “facts” are in fact in opposition and pulling away from the truths of the Lord’s counsel, then it’s going to bring you down rather than pull you up. 
See, the sun in the sky that all plants grow towards, as well as the evaporation of all liquids to join the clouds above, is an illustration of something important for each one who walks with Jesus. 
Look up. Grow up. Build up. Go up. 
First you need to receive counsel from Heaven. This then matures you and teaches you things. With this counsel you can build your work and life on the right foundation, one that will remain. And at lastly, when it’s your time to meet dear Jesus He’ll commend you for staying true and doing your best to listen, believe, and follow in His ways. 
Do you know why I was so little, so nothing, so weak and had so many human frailties to contend with? That was to keep me always in need of a very big and totally capable God who can run things with or without anyone’s help. He can carry the full show, alone, whether or not I or you choose to do things His way. There is no doubt about it. He can do anything and everything and is in no way handicapped without human assistance.
How do we know this? Well, where were you or I when He formed the hills and mountains, and created the sea and filled the Earth with all that it has? Like He told Job, God is God and doesn’t need our help to make anything He wishes to; or to remove anything that isn’t doing what it’s meant to be doing.
So, although it is nice for us human beings to have other people to live with, to work beside and to cheer us on with compliments, when it actually comes down to it and we need help where there is no help, God is perfectly and completely capable of just doing the miracles and giving the help, without anyone giving their approval and assistance. 
So what do you need help with today? Are you the only one praying for that certain thing that you are sure is God’s will for you? Do you feel alone in reaching a goal that God has placed in your heart to accomplish? If you are the only one reaching for it or even seeing that it is something worth your time and effort, you are not alone. 
Philippians 2:13—For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.
God’s got to start the work. Where? In you, in your heart, moving you to do this or that for your benefit and that of others. Then, once He shows you His plan and makes you wish to be on His team that is completing that assignment, you need to call for His loving and capable strength to complete the work.
And if no one else is there beside you helping you, don’t worry. If they were beside you, they might just be slowing you down anyway, or arguing about what’s the best way to do it. If you are called to work or to do a project alone, with just you and Jesus, or to pray for something that only you feel is truly important, then know that God is a strong and fully capable partner to teamwork with.
Remember how Jesus said, “…every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.” (John 16:32)
So even if Jesus, who had many thousands following after Him and wanting to be with Him, yet while on Earth He felt alone in what He was called on to do, so will each of us who are also called by God to do special and unique things, feel alone from time to time. We won’t always have the chummy support of close friends always by our side cheering us on and lending us a hand—especially if your job contains a fair amount of uncomfortable things to do. You can be sure then that, indeed, “vain will be the help of man”. 
Who wants a life of sacrifice and hardship? Not many can keep their eyes on the Heavenly prize for long enough to actually finish a project they are given by God to do. Sooner or later the world will pull most or many people back down, like gravity, to lull in the easier-to-do things of this world. 
So what do you need to do? Be like a plant, or “be like a tree” as the first Psalm says. And do what? Look up to the Son, the Son of God, the source of life-giving light. Then grow up and just get stronger so you won’t fall down into the ways of the World, but can help pull others up too. And finally, when it’s time to go up you’ll receive a well-deserved “well done”.
You’ll be glad then that you didn’t wait around for someone else to cheer you on, but you just did what you personally were called on to do—with or without the support of others in some way.
Let’s end in a prayer. I like talking to Jesus because it shows Him and it shows me that I am not working alone. 
Talk to the King; work with and for Jesus. Isn’t He the best partner you could have? One who can actually do anything that is needed. And you know what? When we communicate with Jesus--about anything, really, but here I am talking about when we are in communication about a certain project or goal or wish to be made into a reality--He then also doesn’t feel that sick lonely feeling that comes when the people He made don’t acknowledge Him, but try to do everything on their own. 
Of course, He is still right there helping them even if they never pray. But it’s pretty hard to work with someone who keeps ignoring the help you are giving them, and then takes all the credit to themselves. 
Imagine it like you are driving in a car and God is the driver. What if you, sitting on the other side of the car, were to look out the window and think pretty well of yourself: “Wow! I’m really going places.” Forgetting entirely that the only reason you are moving forward is because God has given you a vehicle to take you there, as is the one in charge of transporting you.
So there is a whole lot more that the Lord is doing for you and with you than you realise and imagine. You are not traveling through this world on your own, and even if you never were to say a single word of prayer your entire life, there is more that God is doing on a daily basis for you than you could have hours in a day to list it all. 
Taking the time to praise the Lord, and to ask for His advice and counsel, as well as to make sure you are doing what He most appreciates you doing with the time and life He is giving you and providing for you, makes Him feel you appreciate His companionship. It makes Him feel your love. And He loves to be in teamwork with you. He doesn’t just want the works done. He could have made it be that that job never needed to get done in the first place, right? But He made the situation and set it up for you to do something for Him. Why? So You and Jesus could have something interesting to do together, and to build your comradery through it. 
If you then just do the job, push your way through, complain and are sad why you have to do so many things on your own, and forget that you have Jesus there waiting to work with you, you’ll miss one of the most important aspects of working for Jesus—that it is to be a together thing; you and Him. It won’t matter as much to you then if you get much help and support along the way from others. Jesus will give you both the strength and the companionship that you need.
And one day when things change for the better, you might get to meet up with all the many others who also had to do a tough and lonely job for Jesus, and you can talk with them about it and find out how much you all have in common. You’ll have some really good friends then, with lots in common to talk about. But you have to do the fighting work first, even though others aren’t there to pick you up again or help you along the way.
I’ll end with one last scripture:
Psalm 28:7—The Lord is my strength and my shield, my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

VAT_7-Jan-2021_chat club online in the spirit

7-Jan-2021_chat club online in the spirit
 (Spirit helper speaking: ) Let’s open up a communication club, something for the women of God to go in and chat. If the world can do it, so can you--yet your communication wires are hooked up to a station far higher. Wanna be part of the club? 
Put down your bags and hook up online upstairs. It’s password protected, and the password is praise. It won’t be a place for uploading grips and sorrows. Those you can take to the cleansing and transforming department. –Cause we are not here to fight your battles for you and get involved, but simply to be a sounding department, hearing you out, and telling you some thoughts of our own. If you are saying things with faith, simply letting us know what the Lord is doing, and in faith telling the sometimes huge changes you are going through, almost like it’s fun to say it, then great, we want to hear. 
This isn’t a counselling session, just a chat and relax, and enjoy the company of angels while on earth type of thing. Friends, you know. It’s not the help line, you go to the correct department for that—through prayer and seeking the Lord and your helpers for that. 
But come on in, and let’s have fun.
Just start typing or telling us something, and then listen to see if one of us chimes in about that topic, or adds and submits something new to the conversation—something you can also comment on. 
Vatina is heading it up; as she wants to get more involved with the women who love Jesus and perhaps because of their choices to put Jesus first and above all, have a bit of a lonely ride in heart and mind. 
Oh, the enemy can really blow up the “loneliness” woes. But you who love Jesus have the best company; the purest and most satisfaction. The real loneliness is what those feel who don’t have a connection to the top Guy Upstairs, that is real, deep and hard to cope with loneliness of the most horrible kind. But you who do have a link both with Jesus and those who know and love Him on Earth, don’t really need to feel the utter depths that some others might. You might get tinged with it, but that should just make you run so much closer to hear from the King who really wants a close and personal relationship with you. 
You can just have a chat with Him too, you know, a back and forth, flowing or stop-start, talk about a bit of this and then that, conversation. That a neat way to see new sides to how He feels and thinks, and it’s always mind awaking, and heart cleansing. 
Okay, so let’s get started:
(For the sake of privacy, we’ll have conversation participants 1,2,3,4 and 5. Okay? The readers won’t know who is who, but you can see an example of how it could work.)

#1: Hello, just logging in. Anyone else wanting a chat?
#2: Hi, I just got on too. I wanted to share something.
#1: What’s up? Oh, ..hi, …someone else saw the activity and is joining.
#3: Yes. Hi all.
#1: #2 was just about to let us in on something. Go ahead.
#2: I’ve just found out that I’m pregnant.
#1 & #3 [cheer].
#2: I guess it’s a bit more challenging then it might be in “normal” situations; as you know I’m in China and it’s totally forbidden, at least in my situation. I guess you could say, it’s “doubly exciting.”
#1: Oh wow. 
#3: I guess the Lord knew you needed a bit more excitement or could handle it.
#2: (Laughs.) Maybe if you have prayer groups you could pray that His will is done, and that I know where to go or who to tell. I know it’s to bring about some wonderful victory. I can’t wait to see how the Lord is going to work. Exciting times call for exciting measures. Bigger battles bring bigger miracles.
#4: Hi, can I join in. I was watching what was being said before I decided to enter in. I was seeing if it was something I could contribute to or know anything about. I can say assuredly that though it looks like you need to climb Mt. Everest blindfolded, like a real challenge that is nearly impossible to get out of safe and sound, I know the Lord can and will do something spectacular. See, I was there once, and I dared to have as many as three children. The more children I had, the more I needed Jesus to do miracles. I won’t list all that He did during those years, as it would fill several books, but believe me with every child comes a bundle of miracles ready to pop out.
#2: That’s encouraging. I’m going to need quite a bundle! (Smiley face)
#1: I’ll send out a request around here and many to some on Earth to pray for you, or for those generally in your situation.
#2: Thank you.
#3 I’ve got a bit of news. I’m pretty new to the “living situation” here in Heaven, but I just got promoted to being in charge of the local library here. I read and get acquainted with the books that Jesus wants us to make available. I have a lot of reading and studying to do. Then I can help answer questions of children and others who come to read them. I need to know about the material. I’ve made it through the first 500 books, and have… quite a few left to go. But there’s sooo much I never knew or read about while on Earth. It would be such a thrill if one day libraries like this could be planted around on the planet…
#1: And the old stuffy, untrue stuff makes way for the new.
#3: Exactly. I read plenty while on Earth, but it doesn’t matter now, if it wasn’t true and good and pointing the way to the Master. I’m really excited to share this info. Maybe I could make a magazine*, or something to advertise the different books available, so others know what is there to explore. (*Gets a magazine made through someone on Earth to let them know what kinds of things are available in Heaven.)
#2: I can’t wait to visit. You’ll have to show me around when I get there, and recommend some to me. I’m especially interested in miracle happenings and events recorded.
#3: Yep. Got those a plenty. One of my jobs is also prodding others to write up what the Lord has done for them and to make these testimonies available to others who would rather sit and “read a good book”. So in a way I’m helping to generate new books, all telling the true news. 
#4: Am I getting a hint from you? I guess I could help in that. I’d be very happy to contribute what the Lord did for me, and how He got me out of the many tight situations with the children He gave me. 
#1: And when you do, maybe even some Heavenly curriers could transmit a few of your stories to #2 when she gets quiet and prays and listens. She could get a sneak peek now of your testimony books, as I’m sure she’d appreciate it. Faith feeding is what those there sure need right now.
4#: That’d be great. More than great, it’d be a real thrill. Oh! To think that what I went through could help a human now going through what I did, or somewhat similar! I’ll get on it “write” away. 
#5: I’ve enjoyed following the conversation, as I was somewhat in the middle of a project, but want to add in a word. Thank you for taking the time for each other, and for me; for taking time away to share hearts and listen too. I appreciate this initiative. It’s a blessing to be able to pop in and have a team to chat with. I guess I’m one of those people that like to do the “pulling down” of true stories, or certainly of reading them. It really does cheer us on. Thanks for being friends. I’ll chat more later.
1,2,3,4: we love you. 
#1: Drop by any time—or start up the conversation if you like. Nice to hear from you.
(end of chat)
