Catherine Brown: "A VISION OF JESUS
--HE IS LOVE"
"The only way we can go
beyond the confines of our humanity, is when we overflow in and with Jesus'
love"
 DEARLY
LOVED CHILDREN:
Occasionally the Lord "interrupts" us with delightful moments of joy at
unexpected times and in unpredictable ways. Recently, I had a beautiful vision
in which the Lord was laughing and playing with a little child. On Jesus' robe
was inscribed the word "Father." In the vision, the Lord looked at me and said,
"I and the Father are one. Precious daughter, when my children understand this
theirs is the fullness of joy."
I nodded in total agreement with the Lord, and before I could blink an eye, I
found myself lifted up in the Spirit, and being held in the arms of Christ
laughing as He tickled me! Jesus held me close as a Father would. There were no
words exchanged at that moment, just the comfort of love eternal and
inexpressible joy in the presence of the Lord. Our Lord loves to draw near to
His children and lavish them with His love.
"How great is the
love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!
And that is what we are!" 1 John 3:1
NO JOY?
Prior to this experience, my heart had been heavy as I pondered and prayed over
a letter I received from a believer in Germany. The lady had written to me to
say how sad she was that she never seemed to experience the joy of the Lord. She
was struggling to discover joy in her heart even as she worshipped Jesus.
At times, she felt too wiped out to even
reach out to Christ, let alone reach out to others in His love. How my heart
ached for her, and how the Father longs to lift the weary and oppressed, and
give them a garment of praise instead of a spirit of heaviness and despair. As I
prayed for this lady, the lovely vision of the Lord unfolded.
OVERFLOW IN LOVE
The only way we can go beyond the confines of our humanity, is when we overflow
in and with Jesus' love--as we enjoy relationship with the Father, Son and Holy
Spirit. Jesus said to His disciples, "Believe Me when I
say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me" John 14:11. He
went on to say to His disciples in verse 12,
that "anyone who has faith in Me will do what I have
been doing," demonstrating to us that as we embrace the reality of
our relationship with Him, we are enabled to reach out to others in His love.
With all my heart, I believe that
fruitfulness flows from intimacy with the Lord. We produce nothing; the Lord
permits His compassion, peace, love, joy, and power to flow through our
surrendered hearts in covenant relationship with Him.
RUNNING ON EMPTY?
"As we believe and receive
divine love, we find rest for our souls and are refreshed and restored."
"As the Father has
loved me, so have I loved you" John 15:9. This is not an empty
cliché, but a beautiful covenant promise for every child of God. Sometimes we
can become weary in life, worn down or exhausted by difficult situations,
relationships, and circumstances. Christians are not exempt from such life
challenges, and it is during times of struggle that Jesus longs to be our buffer
and strengthen the foundation of our faith by lavishing us with the Father's
love.
The vision portrays a child in the arms of her Father. In perfect unity, the
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desires that we accept and embrace the truth of
God's unconditional love for His children. As we believe and receive divine
love, we find rest for our souls and are refreshed, restored, and revived to be
used for the Father's glory. The Bible teaches us that as we live a lifestyle of
holy love, our joy is made complete!
Father, in the name of Your precious Son Yeshua, I ask You to pour out a soft
breeze of Your Spirit upon every hungry, hurting, and heavy soul. Lift off the
weariness, heal the wounds, and refresh each precious heart with Your love and
joy.
Your sister and friend in Messiah,
Catherine Brown

and The Crazy"
by Catherine Brown

Book
 "With a whole
heart I gladly endorse the
content of this inspiring book. I trust it will do for you what it did for me.
After reading The Normal, The Deep, and The Crazy, I found myself more in love
with our Father God, who desires to see restoration happen in the lives of
countless numbers of warriors-in-waiting. I sense the Holy Spirit saying, "Come
out of your caves! The best is yet ahead of you! Just as I have done in the life
of this broken vessel--so will I do for you!"
-- Jim Goll
 The
Normal, The Deep, and The Crazy by Catherine Brown, just about sums up much

to have your heart touched and then challenged to recognize and flee the
temptation to settle for an average Christian existence. You'll discover just
how close God can be to those who hear His heartbeat and stop to listen to His
voice! --Steve Shultz, The Elijah List
