This morning as I woke a scripture was put on my heart. It was this one in Isaiah.

These people come near to me with their mouth
and honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
Their worship of me
is based on merely human rules they have been taught.

I had a beautiful dream, walking with Jesus. I went to sleep feeling distraught about something, and God knew.  He knows ALL and sees ALL. See, what makes one false is the motive of our heart. GOD’s heart is 100% PURE!!!! The dream was a bit blurry as I tried to recall it, but what I was shown was “coffee/tea time” with Jesus. I was really tired, and had endured a very long couple of days. Big changes are happening in our family, by God’s Grace and for HIS Glory.

As I sat there, I could hear clearly the above scripture. I could see the sadness in HIS eyes. I realized why we are going through so much in this process. I was reminded again, never about us, always about HIM. But, I also saw HIM look at me, smile and say, “well done thy good and faithful servant.” I was so incredibly humbled. Because, I know that anything that God causes good to happen in our lives, is ALL HIM. I cannot say enough how grateful we are for HIS LOVE, GRACE, MERCY, PEACE, and JOY.

I have had a tendency, in the past to fall into shame, when things were not going as God revealed they would. You know, like perhaps I did or did not do something. Thankfully, GOD healed me of constantly beating myself up all the time. He reminded me that HE is a GOD of LOVE and ADORATION, not a GOD of GUILT and CONDEMNATION.  I got up at a specific time this morning, and turned the tv on, and a movie called LIFE of PI was on. 🙂

I was intrigued, because I had wanted to see it for a long time, but my husband was not that interested. He LOVES adventure, and what he did not realize is this movie is ALL abt that. The movie is really fascinating. It really shows how even in the darkest times, GOD’s GLORY still shines, He still rescues us, when we let HIM.

I kept thinking of JOB and how He endured and endured and was tested and tried in the FIRE. Thinking of how, it was necessary for him to lose it all, to receive more humility. Most importantly, that every LOSS that he endured was Christ’s gain.

This is so very true for us too. Who do we say GOD is? Well, He has many names. Elohim, the GREAT I AM, Jehovah Jirah, Jehovah Rapha, to name a few. He has many jobs, but the greatest one is LOVE. He not only has the JOB to LOVE but HE IS LOVE.

Recently someone posted that when we say I LOVE YOU, we say I GOD YOU, and at first I was not sure about that. But, the more I prayed about it, the more I got that it was accurate. We are speaking GOD into their lives. We are speaking ALL that GOD is into their lives.

This is a season where we have to know who GOD is. If we do not know who he is, we won’t know who he is not. Life throws us curve balls, and we have to let GOD be the bat to hit the home run. We need to expect the challenges, and try not to run from them.

People have asked us, how do you have the faith you do? We say, “well, WE don’t.” It is GOD, it is HE alone that moves. It is GOD that LOVES through us, even the tough LOVE. It is GOD who disciplines our children, we pray and ask HIM to do so. It is GOD that writes books, songs, etc…Strange as it sounds, it is GOD in us, around us, and through us. But, HE gets the GLORY.

Our plans never work like HIS, I ask now and even daily that GOD forgive me for when I get it wrong, that he strip me of all the pride in the way. What is it in the way of? HIS plans and HIS will, that is what.

SO, who do we say GOD is?

http://www.gty.org/resources/articles/2425

JESUS leads us to the FATHER. It says in the word that we will do even greater things, because JESUS intercedes for us to the FATHER. This means JESUS in us will do those greater works!

We must have UNITY with the Father GOD, HIS son JESUS, and the HOLY Spirit, but the most important one for relationship is JESUS. I am almost 37 years old. This journey with GOD has been really, one adventure after another. It has also been one challenge after another, and in some cases, one death after another.

Our family began walking the GLORY road of GOD when we became a family, on June 24th, 2006. This was the date that David and I married, but really, the actually day we became a family, was May 7, 2005. THIS was the day GOD intervened and caused David and I to date. we never would have picked each other, but GOD.

Long before we understood what GOD’s Glory meant, we were prayerfully calling it into our lives. Not only OUR lives but everyone we knew. You can imagine the kind of target that puts on our back. But, GOD and HIS infinite LOVE has never failed.

He sets us free and delivers us daily from the ways of this world. It does not mean we never participate in it. What it does mean is this, the world has no hold of us. When GOD says walk away, we do. Why? Because, we have learned the consequence that comes when we do not. Ultimately, our desires better line up with GOD’s. If not, He is unpleased, and the FAITH seeds that He has panted, will not prosper and flourish. Because, if we are not repentant before HIM, and asking HIM to take over in our lives, whatever we do will fail. Yet, with HIM, even when it looks like we have failed, we end up succeeding, because HE turns it around as we come humbly before HIM, laying it down on the altar once again, and repenting, which is key.

Yes, it may LOOK like PLANS succeed according to THIS world, but God’s plans are different, and only HIS are ETERNAL.

So, who do we say GOD is? WE say He is EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD is the very breath we breathe. He has divinely orchestrated and keeps doing so, according to HIS will, purpose and plans.

GOD is our best friend, our spouse, our heart, our hope, our LOVE, our LIFE, absolutely our ALL in ALL.

Who is GOD to you? who do you say HE is?

I can share, as a close that GOD used to be our emergency plan. Yes, God will come through, but we used to treat HIM with disrespect. For so many reasons, we did this. He used to be, our last resort. we used to make decisions based on manipulation and fear, and we used to be in CHAINS to the enemy. BUT GOD….

IF you see GOD this way, I can say, it often happens from a place of woundedness deep within. My husband and children can attest to this. When we said yes to CHRIST, we receive EVERYTHING. Maybe not all at once, but as we come under HIS wings and learn HIS ways, and ultimately, let GOD move in us, we receive FREEDOM in CHRIST and ALL that this entails. The word says everything works for the good of those who LOVE GOD and are called according to HIS purpose. There is unconditional LOVE that was gifted to us on a cross in CALVARY, as HE took our sins, sicknesses, and diseases.  THE LOVE is unconditional itself, but for us to receive the LOVE, we have to obey GOD’s ways, HIS plans, and walk HIS path. Ultimately, we have to ask GOD to just take over. He cannot be our co-pilot, HE must PILOT our LIVES.

NOW, we are NEW CREATIONS in CHRIST. Now, we can choose each day to be filled with JOY and WONDER in HIM.  NOW, we can praise HIM ALL the time. Even when it feels like our heart is breaking, we know now that GOD is so much BIGGER than that!!!

I pray this entry was a blessing from HIM 🙂

This last portion is a song that GOD wrote through me, when in treatment with Sarah Elizabeth in 2009.

“IT IS GOD”

Verse 1:

You never think it will happen to you…but it could. When it does it feels just like your suffocating.  Life goes on as you wade in the waters not knowing when to come up for air.

Verse 2:

No person here can help… No amount of human love can heal. Yet we try… Cause it’s what we know to reach for comfort elsewhere. He forgives us for our ignorance and wraps us in his grace and care.

Chorus:

It is God that finds you when you are hurting…bleeding and dying inside. He never binds you from what you need.  He IS the only answer…the only key to finding who you are…in the midst of all the chaos and broken dreams.

Bridge:

It IS GOD that needs you…more than any other does. He needs your help to reach the lost ones. So show His love and share HIS love by giving and receiving.  Know that you will fall and he will pick you up and start you over. God is the everlasting… better than a 4 leaf clover!

Verse 3:

For it is written that God goes after every lost sheep. He will not stop until their brought back to their shepherd. It says He won’t give up until we ALL are found. So Praise Him now… for we WILL come around. Praise God in the midst of crisis…praise Him every hour…in the good and bad times…for ALL the trees and flowers. For It is God who created us…It is God who renew us and it is God that will ALWAYS find a way.

Repeat Chorus:

It is God that finds you when you are hurting…bleeding and dying inside. He never binds you from what you need.  He IS the only answer…the only key to finding who you are…in the midst of all the chaos and broken dreams.

It is God that can sew us together when we come apart at all our seams…Praise God!

Ask and It shall be given seek and ye shall find.

For HE is GOD!

IN HIS GRACE and GLORY,

E

This morning, I awoke starting to badger myself for something not happening yet. I began to recall the taunting of this phrase, “who do you think you are?” It is more than just a question, in some cases it is an accusation. The enemy is the one who accuses us. If God ever asks this question, it comes from a place of reflection.

REALLY love this artistic expression of what we carry and who we are. GOD says we are to be in the world, but not of it. Let us pray for all countries, that this revelation comes through.

Who do we think we are? Well, if we have the mind of Christ, then we know that we are loved, fearfully and wonderfully made, and precious in the sight of our Father. But, what if we don’t? Then, we fall into the traps and snares of our enemies, by believing that we are lower than dirt on the ground.

God’s word says, “He loved us while we were yet sinning.” So the love was there, but the union was not. I pray this resonates. GOD loves us ALL, but cannot dwell within us freely, without restriction, unless we have pure hearts before HIM. This means unless we come before GOD not just seeking HIS ways, but asking HIM to download them in us, He cannot and will not help.

See, the point is not that we do not ever fail, or fall or even take the bait. The point is that we are learning and growing in HIM, so that if we do, we can repent and let GOD take over. Because GOD, in HIS infinite LOVE yearns to move on our behalf.

http://www.openbible.info/topics/who_am_i_in_christ

This link gives a few scriptures that explain who we should be, and who we ARE in Christ.

The next time the enemy tries to drag you backwards into your past, say NO. Remember say NO to drugs? Well, say NO to evil, ALL EVIL. The drugs are just a small portion. Jesus did not ignore the enemy, He addressed him, and dealt with him. Then, because HE, Jesus, was sinless and blameless and had no darkness in HIM, the enemy could not get to HIM, and deter HIM from the Father’s plans.

We are learning to make it a GODLY habit to come and be naked before GOD. Now, let me explain, this does not mean we come with no clothes on. Although there were people in scripture who did this. But, we lay our worldly clothes down to HIM. The emotions we may be facing, questions, our plans essentially, all are laid at the cross. Because GOD’s plans are bigger and better.

GOD longs to shine HIS GLORY upon us, but we cannot try to force it to come, we must wait upon the LORD. ~

We learned a long time ago, not everybody was going to support what GOD calls us to do. But, truly all that matters is that GOD does, because HIS plan and HIS ways are the only ones that work consistently and are sustained. We keep praying HIS will over ALL and speak forgiveness over wounds and the wounded soldiers. There are some who know they are warriors, and others who have only glimpsed who GOD in them is.

SO, when going to GOD this morning about this topic, I came up with some basics. who do I think I am? I am a Child of God, a wife, a mother, a friend, a daughter, a disciple, a steward, a servant, a singer, a writer, and a warrior. I am certain to GOD I am so much more. It seems lately, I am whoever He needs me to be. I am learning to be OK with that.  🙂

When the enemy comes and taunts and threatens to bring destruction, the JOY is still there that GOD is bigger than that. Does the enemy get a few jabs here and there? Well, yes sometimes this is the case. But, GOD is gonna knock HIM out, this we can count on, because “It is finished.”

CELEBRATE the JOY of THE LORD! It is our STRENGTH!!!! We have graduated from the world, and each new level in HIM will bring more FREEDOM. HALLELUJAH!!!!

I was going to post more scripture here, but I feel led to simply request that you go before GOD and let HIM give you some specifics. There are so many. I will share one that really jumps out at me. THIS is who we ARE.

GOD says in HIS word that He will spew us out HIS mouth, if we  do not obey HIM. Because, THIS is NOT the time to ignore GOD. He is sending warnings, He is showing us that perilous times are coming, and if we do not adhere to HIM and HIS ways, we won’t make it through. Ultimately, if HE does not do everything through us, then we won’t succeed. 

Do u ever notice that when one thing happens in life, something else happens, at the same time or right after? Good and bath, this is TRUTH. People say bad things can come in 3’s but GOOD things can as well. I cannot say enough how much GOD has impressed this upon us. WE are ALL HIS KIDS and it is ALL connected. WE are connected to each other, to GOD who created each other, most of all. 

There are many many many people who currently are experiencing deception. There is actually such a thing as TOO MUCH boldness. Jesus, had just the right amount. When we do something on our own, GOD may bless it but oh will the complications abound. He blesses us as we grow, and continue to repent before HIM. 

Remember the weapons of warfare are not carnal…wear your armor, and put it on at the least, for your family, and the most for ALL HIS children daily. This is in Ephesians and Isaiah where it states specifics on the armor of GOD. It is a MUST and has never been so important to reaffirm as often as Holy Spirit leads. 

There are spirits around us. We fight them, not flesh and blood. Or at least we should be doing this, and GOD should be the one doing so. If we are doing something and it starts out as more trouble to GOD than the enemy, GOD will hinder it. He will cause it to cease and desist. But, He will also keep loving the HELL out of us. We have to keep doing the same with others. He does so through us. 

He does NOT want us to have a religious spirit. I find myself lately, going before HIM and saying, “crucify my flesh GOD.” He is, and it often hurts. When the FIRES of HELL come at you, because GOD in you is a threat, it is anything but easy sometimes. BUT GOD.

I read a post from our dear sister and fellow warrior today, Barbara Gaines. It was a GREAT reminder. Basically the post said, “WE NEED EACH OTHER.” We absolutely do, and GOD’s word teaches us this. We also need GOD in each other, even more. See, His word says clearly that we, HIS people will perish for lack of knowledge and vision. Instead of competing we should let GOD be completing. 

I go before GOD, it seems daily as of late, crying out on behalf of the entire BODY of Christ. Because if we are in error, and out of order, than how can GOD use us to be examples of what should be? If we refuse to be the kind of warriors who please GOD, how can HE use us to defeat the enemy? 

The answer is, if we REBEL against HIM, He cannot. He will work with, on and through those who are obedient. He says clearly, “Obedience is better than sacrifice.” Let’s look at marriage for example. I have had to come before GOD repenting because of numerous things. One of them is blaming the other person, and not owning my part.  We experienced ‘Job’s friends” coming and giving their 25 cents worth too. But GOD. 

From long before  we were ever a spec of dust, or an apple in HIS eye, God had plans. He has plans to prosper us, not to harm us. He wants to save the least, last and the lost. Why? Because HE LOVES us. Also, because we all have been and at some point will be all of these. But the ones whom God chooses, have not their own life.

I have hear people in relationships say that, “I want my own LIFE!” When you work for GOD, it is never your own. Hallelujah for that!!!! He has it, in HIS hands! We have had people say, “How could anyone not like ya’ll?” Our response, if they don’t then GOD in us turns them off. 

I even recently had a childhood friend, someone like a brother say to me, “Not everyone can handle the GLORY of GOD, and you carry that. I am sitting here thinking, “I wonder if he knows that he does too?” Jesus died on a cross for us, to take everything that we could ever imagine in a negative manner, EVERYTHING. Please let this register. Any slander, pain, hurt, sin, death, theft, abandonment, and anything else your mind can conceive that is not HOLY, JESUS took it ALL. 

This is an incredible picture that captures the crucifixion. Please, take a moment and reflect on the DEPTH of what was taken for YOU and for me. ~

This does NOT give us the right to rebel against HIM, and HIS ways, yet we have. Just like in the Garden of Eden, the very first sin, we continue to think we can do it, with GOD watching. We can try, but we will fail, cause GOD cannot be distant. He must be around SOVEREIGN in every way, GOD must be the one to complete the battle. But, He does it through us!!! He needs us. 

Not saying that GOD is needy, not in the least, but He has NEED of us. 

When Jesus died on the cross, He became the ultimate sacrifice. He is also the ultimate catalyst, one who propels us forward. We are coming into a season, after the jubilee, where the people of God will face the anti-Christ. Some, sadly may not know who it is. Do u want to miss out on the revelations of GOD? 

We honor and worship ONLY our GOD…no other idols or little gods before HIM, ever. ~ GLORY to KING JESUS of NAZARETH!!!!

If we believe that the death of Father God’s son Jesus had no purpose, we will fall pray to the enemy’s plan. The word says, “His people perish, for LACK of knowledge and vision.” He is clear, so we must be as well. NO BLURRED lines allowed. GOD brings clarity. It had great purpose, still does. He took our sins in the spirit and physically upon HIM in the natural. Yet, so many do not receive the freedom available. 

Have you ever thought that maybe the sin, might even be used as a weapon? The enemy will use it to try to kill, steal and destroy, but GOD. For the LORD will use it to deliver us 100% as we come with repentant hearts, and ask HIM to move in, around and through us as HE births HIS GLORY. 

I am asking GOD which pictures to use here, because this one is so important….LORD, have your way. May all be drawn to YOU in us, so they can be set free. Each healing, deliverance and salvation is connected to more than our own. Hallelujah!!!! Glory to GOD!

LORD, have your way alone as we come and partake of you and your sacrifice. We humble ourselves before you LORD JESUS, and thank you for undoing the plans and tactics of the enemy, on our behalf. The word says we will do even greater things because you intercede for us. You do it LORD, you NEVER FAIL, never have and never will. Oh how we praise you. Here in your presence we stand. Thank you for this honor and privilege. ALL GLORY and honor to you, now and forever more. Thank you for convicting us to repent, because you LOVe us. Teaching us to choose your ways because it is the only way,  and for always being a GOD of GRACE, LOVE and MERCY.  You are the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. None other is worthy but you. The way, the truth and the LIFE!!!

In Jesus name and BLOOD,

Amen 

BRING ON THE JUBILEE GOD! help, us be not distracted by the sorrows. The great I AM is so much BIGGER than that. ~

In His Grace and GLORY,

E

Today is the 12th, a day or order, specifically Godly order. The world appears to be going through a lot of really difficult stuff. BUT, GOD will use the foolish things to confound the wise.  So the question on the table is, “Who are WE reflecting?” Because so many look around and see a lot of Christian people stabbing each other in the back. In some cases, even literally. It is not always a brother loving brother or sister loving sister. Yet, the word says, they will know us by our LOVE. We must increasingly let GOD heal us, so HE is reflecting in us. 

Therefore, this MUST change. Because, as one person in ministry put it, ALL of us would go to HELL, if it did not. So are we consistently surrendering to and serving God, or the world? I can tell you, that we served God in the world, but often fell into traps of the world. An example is language. God has freed us from condemnation. We speak as He leads. When we speak and He does not, we apologize, repent and ask HIM alone to transform our tongue.

If we do NOT do this, we will likely speak more death than life. GOD is the author and perfector of our faith. He is the one who challenges us. He alone is the one who humbles us. I remember one day my husband David saying something important. He was being used by God to minister to someone, a brother in Christ. The words used were, “YOU must be so hidden in GOD, that she must seek GOD to find you.”

I recall hearing D say this, and thinking something to myself. I thought, “wow, he really has been listening.” It was a very beautiful gift to hear this. Because as many of you know, our marriage, has not always been a bountiful picnic. But GOD. He truly resurrects it daily, and WE are beyond words grateful. 

God has taught, and continues to teach us to be REAL, RAW and RELATIONAL. He consistently reminds us that it ALL about HE in us and in others. That we cannot mess it up, as long as we choose HIM, and HIS ways and stay surrendered and submitted to HIS promises, and word. 

This morning God has been teaching and revealing so much. Today is the 9th, Biblically it means The Father’s divine perfection. What a Glorious day it has been! It began with kindness, and every plot and scheme of the enemy, God has squashed. While out and about today, God showed up and out. He revealed that ” He is breaking us out of solitary confinement.”

So, do you guys wanna be FREE? Cause who the son sets free is free indeed!!!

First, He sent us to Walmart. I am so grateful we waited till today. Lots of sales, and lovely opportunities for Him to minister. Anyway, we come in, with the list He gave us, and start looking for who ” jumps out at us.” Anyway, usually when we go shopping, I get headaches or back pain, or something, but today was different. A dear sister of mine, Carolyn told me something about Walmart. She said, ” God gave me a ” Walmart ministry” for years.” Every time God sends us, it has a purpose.

Today was no different, in that respect. We met people who needed His encouragement. We high fived people about His awesomeness. 🙂 We walked by the baby department and heard, ” Rise and Shine and give God the Glory Glory, Rise and Shine and give God the Glory Glory, Rise and Shine and give God the Glory Glory, children of The Lord.” My husband turned to me me and said, ” What the???” I said, “Signs and Wonders Baby! Go God!” You see you are one of His signs and wonders. Good things follow God in you, when you do it His way, and He ultimately does it. Glory to God!

People are hurting, even His people. Wounded people will bleed out if their wounds are not healed. In scripture God shows us, by His word, He bruises us, but He also heals us. Everything has purpose and reason. The enemy of our soul, satan wants us in solitary confinement forever. Because when we are locked up within, bound, he is not troubled by us. In fact, indirectly, we are working for him. Because, this means we are puppets on a string. All be it temporarily, because eventually, the string or perverbial rope gets cut.

Guess who cuts it? You guessed it, it’s God. Guess who breaks us out? It is GOD!

He gave me this when Sarah Elizabeth was in treatment in 2009 ~

So many times God shows us that weapons of warfare are not carnal. Another dear sister share something else today. She said, “God wants warriors not wimps.” Ministry is not for the faint of heart. Those who are in it, better be there to win it. It MUST be God’s way and for His Glory. Because anything else only leads to destruction.

Think about Paul and Silas, how did God help them? They praised Him and He broke them out of prison. They were set free by saying thank you to God. they got out by having repentful hearts, just in case they did something wrong, and trusting that God is bigger than circumstance. He is, no doubt about that.

I personally hold no ill will toward anyone. Now, I absolutely could, but that would not please God. It would complicate His desire to move in and use me. In fact, any of us who hold onto bitterness, resentment, anger, unforgiveness, and pain, as well as anything else are indirectly rejecting God.

This is a time of judgement. Those who serve the evil one are getting put in solitary confinement. But, God’s people are FINALLY being released! The pharaoh spirit is being dealt with, as well as many others. Those who are trapped in the enemy’s camp and want out are being sent. They are being sent to those children of God ( COGS) who have the insight and wisdom needed. It is essential in this hour. Revival is hitting the land, like an earthquake, a monumental one.

What was done in the dark, WILL come to LIGHT!!!

Be prepared, the enemy is desperate. Cover your family, let God do so through you. Pray psalm 91 daily. Anoint yourself and children, daily. Do communion at least 3 times a week. Praise God and speak OUT His word. He has need of us. Challenges will come, but God has won! Choose this day whom you and yours will serve.

Glory to God forever! The devils may seem stronger, but the only newness there is that it feels different, more intense than before. The Lord killed Goliath through David. He will do the same through all other children of His, who let Him. The last part is key! We must surrender. Because if not doing so unto the Father, His son Jesus, and Holy Spirit then we are not a friend of His. The word days, a friend of the world is not a friend of God. I Live and LOVE for and through HIM. He is my best friend. No matter what comes in life, He alone is there, always.

We pray our kids, His kids have even more passion for our mighty God! Every generation should be more connected than the one before. We will fight, as He fights in and through us. The battle is His, and He wins!!! So, we win too, in Him.

Lord, our prayer is that you do whatever it takes to keep us humble in YOU. There should always be, more of you and less of us. It’s ALL abt G O D it’s NOT about you and ME! Oh he LOVES us so, He is Gonna Flow. Watch God!

God HIMSELF will break us free from addictions and ALL idols of this world! NO other gods before HIM! NONE!!!

SN : Will come back and add pictures. Using iPad to blog today, D has the laptop doing other cool God stuff. Yay God!!!

In His Grace and Glory,

E

This morning there is such a stirring in the atmosphere. Wow, the enemy is running scared. I heard clearly, “Be Not dismayed by how it may appear, when it comes to the bad stuff. For, remember I will undo enemy plans. Just receive my LOVE today and my peace.” So today let us be in agreement with God and His word. It says he will keep those in perfect peace, whose mind is fixed on them.”

The original title of this was “Digging for Gold” But, as I began to pray more and reflect on how He wanted this done, I started to understand that it is not just about the Gold. Though, that is a major part of what God is doing. The LORD has a treasure boxes, and He looks inside of us, because WE are HIS treasures. We are His vessels, His creations, His children, and HIS masterpieces!!!

TREASURE is not about money, for money is paper and should be seeds for God’s planting~

Anything we do well, any accolades we receive are ALL because of HIM!

Yesterday someone said my husband was good at something, and I looked at them and said, “It really is ALL God, because that is so far outside David’s comfort zone.” When he and I spoke abt it later, he said it wasn’t really. My response was,” when GOD is moving in us, it won’t feel like it is outside of our comfort zone, cause He just takes over. But, when WE try and do it, without the assist, it will. ” I believe God has shown us this. 

GOD alone is our GPS! He is our GRACE, PEACE, and SERENITY!

For He is our treasure within! He is what we are digging for, and the enemy is trying to dig up dire so we cannot get to HIM and the BLESSINGS He is holding. But God. The enemy cannot steal the blessing, He can only delay it for a while. The reason I say this is because GOD knows when or even IF we will receive the blessing. 

He knows ALL things and SEES all things. As he is healing us, which happens 100% through repentance of our ways over His, the treasure that was buried within, or He within us begins to surface. This will be a Glorious season.

Many have already had GEMS drop from heaven, and there will be more because, God is fulfilling HIS promises in this season. Our prayer is that the LORD do whatever it takes so that we can receive ALL that He desires for us, so He is us can be the most effective. Our job is to LOVE, not to FEAR, NOT to control but to LOVE. 

If we stay focused on the LOVE of GOD, all other problems will fade. Just say out loud today. I am treasure to my KING. He made me special and unique. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. There is only one of me, and most important there is one GOD who loves me, and I receive that LOVE today. In Jesus Name I pray this penetrate our hearts. 

The LORD is inspecting us and HE is cleaning us up!

SO many fall into the trap of doing so much for God in others, that they neglect what must be healed within. In many cases it is generational. There are curse that perhaps did not get broken, but the point is this. God gave us a choice in the beginning. No matter what, we still have it. 

He is looking into our hearts, minds, souls, spirits, and even bodies, to find fertile ground for planting. His treasure arrives in many forms.

This is the definition for treasure. 

1. treas·ure  

   /ˈtreZHər/

    

   Noun A quantity of precious metals, gems, or other valuable objects.

   Verb Keep carefully (a valuable or valued item).

   Synonyms noun.   jewel – hoard – gem – wealth verb.   value – prize – cherish

I LOVE how it talks about a quantity of jewels. God refines us into Gold, diamonds, emeralds, rubies. In the word he says, “A virtuous woman is one whose worth is far above rubies.” 

Today I was praying for a dear sister, and as I did God showed me some insight. There are certain things that can only be healed by going to heaven. Sadly, about an hour ago, I was informed she passed on. It is hard when God takes someone we love. I am praying for comfort for her family, and that God will use greatly the legacy left behind and heal the wounds. 

The original post was going to be something about God’s enemies. Specifically abt God arising and His enemies scattering. This also kind of goes with what happened. He rose up for her, and released her from the pain. Because she was a valiant warrior. She fought on behalf of many in His Kingdom. 

The hardest part about doing this, fighting and interceding for others through prayer, is that the enemy comes even harder for us. She was a beautiful soul, in fact she reminded me of my mom. Both were women who loved the LORD greatly, but struggled with receiving that love in return. Don’t we all do that, to some degree? I know I do. 

God reminded me as I began to have tears form of something very specific. Our LOSS is HIS GAIN. This is true in all respects. My mother was not perfect, but I have learned to appreciate the goodness and God in her, and release any effect that the evil around or even in her may have had unto HIM. Mom died thirteen years ago, and in my flesh it still feel like yesterday. 

But, I am certain I will see her again. I am grateful that I had 23 years to get to know and experience God through her. I also experienced things that were not so great, but the good far outweighs the bad. It always will, as God reveals. I choose forgiveness and freedom in Christ. 

I am NOT a religious NUT and I don’t worship religion. I simply believe that Jesus is the way the truth and the life, and no one comes to the father in Heaven without HIM. I know that any one except God himself can be influenced by evil. The point is evil never wins. I don’t care, nor does God how it looks on the surface. It is finished and GOD overcame. 

My husband was the one in the most shock by the news our friend passed. God gives us purpose, vision and seasons, and her final season is just beginning in Heaven. The angels are rejoicing because there is a new level of freedom and healing that occurred. A captive was set FREE 100% from this world and the enemies taunts and torments. 

My mother was 57 when she died, and our dear sister was 58. So young, yet both lived with vigor and zeal for their King. I have been praying and asking forgiveness to God for anytime I spoke ill of anyone, my mother, a friend, a family member, a child. As I did, the LORD showed me clearly, He knows my heart, and that I desire no hurt to come to HIS children. You see the reason He knows my heart is this, it is His own as well. 

I remember sis Cheryl saying to me, “My Papa owns the cattle on a thousand hills. ” I will never forget that. Anytime I have questions about God’s provision or purpose, He reminds me of this. He will provide. He alone is sovereign. He alone will be the ONE to set the captives FREE. 

Today, when the enemy tries to dig up the losses, or pains from the past remember this. Believe, trust God and seek HIM always, and have peace with whatever comes, because no matter what it seems we may have lost, the LORD has gained so much more, and He will bring restoration, in ways that ONLY He can. 

We have ONLY glimpsed the GLORY of GOD! Jubilee is coming!!!

In our weakness He is strong, and He is moving mightily. We praise you LORD still for your grace, mercy and amazing LOVE ~

In His Grace and Glory,

E, D, SE, and SSJ
