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. ~
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.
Isaiah 54:10
Amplified Bible (AMP)
10 For though the mountains should depart and the hills be shaken or removed, yet My love and kindness shall not depart from you, nor shall My covenant of peace and completeness be removed, says the Lord, Who has compassion on you.
I had a dear friend ask me, “If I believe in her. I said, “Of course I do.” Most of all, I believe in God within her. Because that is more powerful than any amount of darkness that could come against her, or any of us. Truly, GOD is a GOD of GRACE and MERCY. He simple requires us to receive HIS LOVE and ultimately reflect HIM.
This morning, our family got up, at the crack of dawn. I thank GOD because there were some minor groans and such, but overall, everyone did as they were led. The reason we got up so early, is because our daughter begins school soon. She starts one week from today. If we waited until a week from today and said, “It’s time to get up” she would NOT get up. There are preparations that must be done.
This preparation is actually a reflection of GOD. Christ is coming back for a bride that is without spot, or wrinkle. That is what HIS word says. Today the devotion was on shining in the darkness. Specifically, GOD using us to shine HIS LIGHT to ALL we come in contact with. There are many variations of this. Sometimes, just a smile can go a long way. Let HIM lead.
I can be upfront about this fact. When God officially called the ministry to come to pass, we were anything but ready. WE were so bound by so many things. But, He was patient, and kind, and loving with us. He walked us through then, and now each day. He began to show us that we MUST reject the world’s ways to choose HIS.
There was a time I thought I was dependent on GOD. I would share with my spouse, who did not understand, and at times, it felt like he cared less. But, those sharing times, were seeds of LOVE. This was a place where GOD was preparing and tilling the ground. He was the one, using me to plant the seeds, and our daughter, and others in our lives. Those who were NOT speaking in FAITH, He removed for a season.
Because GOD knew the purpose and importance of REFLECTING HIM and not the enemy of our soul. He desired to hunt us down, lovingly and capture our hearts, minds, souls, spirits, and bodies I am so grateful He did. I do NOT have religion, but am so blessed to have GOD as my best friend. Then, to have my husband second, and he be at peace with that. Beyond words and thought honored, to be used by GOD to reflect only HIM.
Romans 8:26
New International Version (NIV)
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.
GOD knows when we speak, and HE also knows when evil speaks through us. It is WE who must learn the difference, because for us, and others that GOD loves, it can be the difference in LIFE and DEATH, in some case quite literally.
It is NEVER about us, thinking that is just pride creeping up. WE must hold every thought captive to Christ. It is always and FOREVER abt GOD. IT may be about GOD in us, but not us. GOD is a loving but jealous GOD. He will remove ALL that is in the way of intimacy with HIM. So, if it is being removed, even if we think we did not put it above HIM, we should repent, because likely we did.
Isaiah 40:28-31
Amplified Bible (AMP)
28 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, does not faint or grow weary; there is no searching of His understanding.
29 He gives power to the faint and weary, and to him who has no might He increases strength [causing it to multiply and making it to abound].
30 Even youths shall faint and be weary, and [selected] young men shall feebly stumble and fall exhausted;
31 But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired.
1 Corinthians 3
Amplified Bible (AMP)
3 However, brethren, I could not talk to you as to spiritual [men], but as to nonspiritual [men of the flesh, in whom the carnal nature predominates], as to mere infants [in the new life] in Christ [[a]unable to talk yet!]
2 I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not yet strong enough [to be ready for it]; but even yet you are not strong enough [to be ready for it],
3 For you are still [unspiritual, having the nature] of the flesh [under the control of ordinary impulses]. For as long as [there are] envying and jealousy and wrangling and factions among you, are you not unspiritual and of the flesh, behaving yourselves after a human standard and like mere (unchanged) men?
4 For when one says, I belong to Paul, and another, I belong to Apollos, are you not [proving yourselves] ordinary (unchanged) men?
5 What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Ministering servants [not heads of parties] through whom you believed, even as the Lord appointed to each his task:
6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God [all the while] was making it grow and [He] gave the increase.
7 So neither he who plants is anything nor he who waters, but [only] God Who makes it grow andbecome greater.
8 He who plants and he who waters are equal (one in aim, of the same importance and esteem), yet each shall receive his own reward (wages), according to his own labor.
9 For we are fellow workmen (joint promoters, laborers together) with and for God; you are God’s[b]garden and vineyard and field under cultivation, [you are] God’s building.
10 According to the grace (the special endowment for my task) of God bestowed on me, like a skillful architect and master builder I laid [the] foundation, and now another [man] is building upon it. But let each [man] be careful how he builds upon it,
11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is [already] laid, which is Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
12 But if anyone builds upon the Foundation, whether it be with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,
13 The work of each [one] will become [plainly, openly] known (shown for what it is); for the day [of Christ] will disclose and declare it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test andcritically appraise the character and worth of the work each person has done.
14 If the work which any person has built on this Foundation [any product of his efforts whatever] survives [this test], he will get his reward.
15 But if any person’s work is burned up [under the test], he will suffer the loss [of it all, losing his reward], though he himself will be saved, but only as [one who has passed] through fire.
16 Do you not discern and understand that you [the whole church at Corinth] are God’s temple (His sanctuary), and that God’s Spirit has His permanent dwelling in you [to be at home in you,[c]collectively as a church and also individually]?
17 If anyone [d]does hurt to God’s temple or corrupts it [[e]with false doctrines] or destroys it, God will[f]do hurt to him and bring him to the corruption of death and destroy him. For the temple of God is holy (sacred to Him) and that [temple] you [[g]the believing church and its individual believers] are.
18 Let no person deceive himself. If anyone among you supposes that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool [let him discard his worldly discernment and recognize himself as dull, stupid, and foolish, without true learning and scholarship], that he may become [really] wise.
19 For this world’s wisdom is foolishness (absurdity and stupidity) with God, for it is written, He lays hold of the wise in their [own] craftiness;
20 And again, The Lord knows the thoughts and reasonings of the [humanly] wise and recognizes how futile they are.
21 So let no one exult proudly concerning men [boasting of having this or that man as a leader], for all things are yours,
22 Whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas (Peter), or the universe or life or death, or the immediate and[h]threatening present or the [subsequent and uncertain] future—all are yours,
23 And you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.
This is our prayer LORD…may we ONLY reflect YOU, and YOUR GLORY SHINE!
Whatever it takes LORD, do it. For you alone are worthy. ~ The pictures HERE are images of reflection. I believe, HIS reflection is present here, this day.
I am inserting a link for the book He led me to write. I was a bit apprehensive about doing so, but I pray GOD uses it still, and increases HIS boldness within me as each step of FAITH is taken. The premise of the book is to choose FAITH above FEAR. It is my testimony up to that point. There is a second in this series which will be available soon. May He bless you ALL with HIS seeds.
This song was put in my spirit this morning. I loved it as a kid. God used it to reach me, when faced with darkness. He brought HIS LIGHT of Glory through this music.
PETRA – “This is my prayer”
Words and music by Bob Hartman and John Elefante Based on 1 Thessalonians 5:17-18, Ephesians 6:18-19, Matthew 6:9-13
First I want to thank You Lord for being who You are For coming to the rescue of a man who’s drifted far For calling me to be Your son and calling me to serve Lord the way You’ve blessed my life is more than I deserve
Keep the ones I love so dearly Fill their emptiness while I am gone And fill the loneliness in me
(Chorus) This is my prayer Lifted to You Knowing You care even more than I do This is my prayer Lifted in Your name Your will be done I humbly pray
Let me be the evidence of what Your grace can do To a generations struggling to find themselves in You May they come to know the love of God May their eyes be made to see Give me the opportunity to share the truth that sets them free And may unity in all things Be the banner of Your church And let revival’s fire begin to burn
As we face the last and final hours Turn a wayward country back to You And keep us from the evil that devours Keep us on the path and lead us through Keep us in Your light until Your kingdom comes And our work is done
This is my prayer Lifted to You Knowing You care so much more than I do This is my prayer In Jesus’ name Your will be done I humbly pray This is my prayer
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 ~
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!

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!!!
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.
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.”
Proverbs 31:10-31
King James Version (KJV)
10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
14 She is like the merchants’ ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
I cannot recall who, but God told someone to have me read proverbs, for it is a wisdom book. This morning He led me to this. I began to thank HIM for making me and all of the daughters of HIM into ALL He desires. Because I want the desires of HIS heart, don’t you?
There are good treasures and bad ones. The reason there are bad ones is because when we idolize something and put it above God that is not only bad for us but it. Many people have gotten ill, even to death because of the enemy using this tactic, to get them so distracted and focused and worried about something, themselves, others, and in the process not receive the completion Of God’s plan while here on earth.
As saw this today, so much revelation began flowing. The word says God is coming back for a bride without spot, wrinkle, or blemish. He is coming back for TREASURE, HIS TREASURE!!!! TEARS!!!!
BIRTH your GLORY in us GOD in every way you need to, because there is treasure within, and treasures around us, and you created every single one. Because the enemy can only throw dirt, sling mud, attack, and TRY to kill, steal and destroy. But the fact remain that YOU alone are a LIFE giver and CREATOR and YOU alone bring RESURRECTED LIFE.
Today God is looking at us, will we be brave to see if HIS reflection is in the mirror?
In the name of JESUS I decree and declare that ALL demonic forces today will BOW before HIM, because the word says ever knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is LORD. I pray the presence of GOD overtake you all today. Because there is NOTHING like it, not anywhere. IJN and blood AMEN
THE LORD seeks the LEAST, LAST and LOST. The spirit of religion dismisses people and does not discern or have compassion. YOU are the least, last and lost, we all are. His prodigal children. Today, may we walk back into HIS arms, and truly feel HIS embrace. LORD, we treasure you.
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 ~
Today is the 27th, which stands for preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. For the past few days, I have had it on my heart and in my spirit to write on this topic. It is never an easy topic to approach. Most don’t even touch it until around Easter. But, we have to understand something about GOD. He wants us to be ALIVE in HIM.
In the days we live so many are fascinated by strange shows, ones with zombies or sorcerers. I believe the reason this is happening is because people ignore spirits. So, when u ignore something or someone, it will do one of two things. It will either leave you alone, or wait till you seem weak and return.
There are many hurting people in the body of Christ. It is astounding how many leaders are bound by the spirit of pride. This goes ALL the way back to the fall of man. Look at the garden of Eden. What was the first sin? It was pride, which was rooted in FEAR. The enemy knows this. The fact is, our accuser and opposition is not dumb as many think he is.
I am not saying he is the sharpest tool in the shed, but he is by no means stupid. Many leaders think that they can just do whatever THEY desire and God will not care. But this is NOT the case. GOD does care and He is making it very clear that it will NOT stand in HIS house or BODY. the enemy has convinced them that no one cares, but this is a lie. One I myself, believed for years.
This will be a beautiful time, where people are literally raised from the dead. It has already been happening. God is faithful. He has a purpose, no matter what we think or feel, that will be done. I don’t know about you but I want to be part of HIS perfect plan.
It will also be a difficult time for many. I grieve for those who reject God. Many of them have no clue what is coming for them. I am praying for HIS mercy, but what he desires must come to pass, and God gave us a choice. That is what it comes down to. He did, and for good reason. He does not LORD over us to guilt and condemn us. He is not expecting us to be fixed before He will help. He is a GOD of LOVE and ADORATION not a GOD of condemnation.
I cannot count how many times God has brought me back to life. Let alone people I know or our own family. Times where my heart almost stopped, or the beat could not be found, and times where I just fell into a pit, and the enemy wanted me to stay there. Jesus would reach down and lift me, once again from the miry clay. In fact, when it has happened there was only PEACE and LOVE and beautiful GLORY, and kindness. I stand in AWE of that.
All the while, I was being taught and still am, to lean not on my own understanding. Not ignoring my flesh, but dealing with it through Christ alone. Yesterday for example, God wanted to encourage me. I woke up feeling so anxious, and trying to get my bearings. I was not really mad, just weary and not wanting to do what I was called to that day. But God. As I stood in front of the mirror, I asked God for help. The enemy will tell you to be ashamed of that, but the word says differently. I said, “Lord, If you want me to go, you alone will have to do this.” So, He did. 🙂
I was able to get dressed and even though I was still feeling some nerves, my husband prayed, and we got there with little confusion, though the enemy tried. God prevailed! When we got to the place where we were supposed to go, I saw my friend, and God in her lit up the whole room! I was so thrilled to see her. Even more so to hear abt all God had been doing in her life. There were some bumps of course, but GOD is so much bigger. To think that 5 years ago, God had me planting seeds of FAITH in her. To see them harvesting was such a glorious gift, unto our KING. I would have missed it, if I had chosen how I felt or to serve my emotions that day. It was truly a joy.
Resurrection is a powerful word. It does NOT seem easy at times to serve God in this day we live in. But, I am grateful so beyond words grateful, for ALL the resurrections that are happening in our lives and those around us. When He spoke of raising the dead, it was NOT just literal, though that is a part of it.
People will persecute, call us names, threaten us when influenced by evil, but we must persevere in Christ. We cannot give in. Even our kids are learning that, it is NOT an easy lesson. But, it is one that MUST be learned. When we disobey, there is consequence. Depending on what we did, the consequence can be severe. Will we believe GOD, know that he can be trusted? Some of us have been and are still like doubting Thomas’s. But Jesus did not even condemn him, he just showed him the proof. That is how phenominal our God is.
As someone told me recently, the enemy will try to dig up dirt on us. A dear sister shared with me, “you are free of this that is trying to reach you, They are looking for an open door, a place to be welcomed in.” She was talking about something I had done as a child. The enemy cannot resurrect LIFE, He can only resurrect DEATH.
I have had times where the enemy would try hard to convince me I had depression again. But, almost every single time that I went through something I found out I was interceding for someone. The times I was not, something was coming at me from a place of wounds in my life or our family. If we are praying faithfully, as the word says we should, we will have to learn to discern if symptoms are ours, or someone else. God is not a man that he should lie. he will never lead us astray.
Who do we belong to? What to we belong to? Do we worship people, a building, friends? Because there is GRAVE danger in this. I adore our friends, and I love going certain places. But, God has convicted us that NOTHING deserves praise but HIM.
I felt led to post this scripture more than once. Scripture is manna from heaven. God will show us, through HIS eyes more each time we digest it. ~
I still see certain people and feel strange. Meaning maybe I feel anger or resentment, or hurt. But, that does not mean it is mine. Daily we release our feelings and emotions to GOD. Perhaps those people do not. Ask GOD, about everything. He will reveal and expose what is needed.
If you are going to a movie, cooking dinner, feeding animals, taking a walk, watching tv, meeting a friend, reading a book, cleaning house, taking a nap, or you name it, GOD cares. We have heard people say, “I can’t hear God.” the only way we can share that God speaks to us is in LOVE. If you have not let God in to love you, then you won’t recognize HIS voice. His LOVE to quote a dear sister is like “sunshine on a garden.” She said this about our friendship, but at the core of it is GOD, and HIS LOVE.
Soul ties must be cut. If you have a spouse who is an unbeliever, you cannot be linked with him or her. Let GOD be your spouse. I love my husband, but there have been times, when he was not seeking GOD that I had to do this. Also, so has he, and it is why we are still married and walking in unity with God. I am not saying someone should walk away or divorce necessarily, but we must SEEK GOD. Yes, God hates divorce. But, he hates us being unequally yoked to. Only He alone can direct our path. There have beenmany times, even in our marriage that we had to cut unGODLY soul ties with each other. The only safe tie that binds is GOD. We have stood in prayer and asked GOD alone to bind us. If a couple is not united in HIM, it can really be awful, and HELL as some of you may have noticed. I know we have.
Lets look at this scripture that is quite well known.
1 Corinthians 13
Amplified Bible (AMP)
13 If I [can] speak in the tongues of men and [even] of angels, but have not love (that reasoning, intentional, spiritual devotion such [a]as is inspired by God’s love for and in us), I am only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
2 And if I have prophetic powers ([b]the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), and understand all the secret truths and mysteries and possess all knowledge, and if I have [sufficient] faith so that I can remove mountains, but have not love (God’s love in me) I am nothing (a useless nobody).
3 Even if I dole out all that I have [to the poor in providing] food, and if I surrender my body to be burned or [c]in order that I may glory, but have not love (God’s love in me), I gain nothing.
4 Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily.
5 It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God’s love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong].
6 It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail.
7 Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening].
8 Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end]. As for prophecy ([d]the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), it will be fulfilled and pass away; as for tongues, they will be destroyed and cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away [it will lose its value and be superseded by truth].
9 For our knowledge is fragmentary (incomplete and imperfect), and our prophecy (our teaching) is fragmentary (incomplete and imperfect).
10 But when the complete and perfect (total) comes, the incomplete and imperfect will vanish away (become antiquated, void, and superseded).
11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; now that I have become a man, I am done with childish ways and have put them aside.
12 For now we are looking in a mirror that gives only a dim (blurred) reflection [of reality as [e]in a riddle or enigma], but then [when perfection comes] we shall see in reality and face to face! Now I know in part (imperfectly), but then I shall know and understand [f]fully and clearly, even in the same manner as I have been [g]fully and clearly known and understood [[h]by God].
13 And so faith, hope, love abide [faith—conviction and belief respecting man’s relation to God and divine things; hope—joyful and confident expectation of eternal salvation; love—true affection for God and man, growing out of God’s love for and in us], these three; but the greatest of these is love.
This is a great example of how God loves. But it is NOT the only way to love. Some people love from control and manipulation, others love from pain. We love the way we were taught how to love. Love that is impure is not the best kind of love. The most wonderful LOVE we can experience is from GOD, because HIS LOVE is always true.
The revelation that I got recently about raising the DEAD is simple. If we are not doing so in HIS LOVE, and it is not He doing it through us, it won’t work! It may look like it does, but it won’t be sustained.
Jesus never sinned because He always went to the Father. God the Father did everything through Him and Jesus did everything through HIM too. It was never about self, feelings, emotions, it was always 100% about GOD, and HIS plan.
Shouldn’t we be this way? I know I try, but often feel like I am failing. Thank GOD for HIS GRACE. Once again, He uses everything but HE excuses NOTHING!
A great leader has to be resurrected daily. Look at JESUS for example. He lives a new every day in each of us. Yes, He is not always present in a tangible sense where we can see HIM, but HE is very much here. The enemy has caused many to believe God does not see what we do, but He does.
Another thing that happened yesterday was Sarah E saw something and it happened to be a picture. In it she reacted to what was coming off of it. It was not JOY, not even close. She began to speak negative abt this person, and I said, “This person is not moved by kindness, but God is bigger.” We are not trying to curse the person, but speak that GOD is bigger than what we feel. He is you know, so much bigger!
I mean, I had like 5 days recently that felt like sleep walking, and my family kind of left me to myself. It was just me and God. I felt very lost, like I was in an ocean of emotion, with no buoy in site. Again, but GOD, on that 5th day, the day of Grace and favor, He pulled me out of the quicksand again. He showed me a lot of confirming things, like certain people were not really for us, of for HIM, and we needed to disconnect.
I had something happened recently which shocked me. I was just flabergasted at what people were doing, and calling it God. there was no kindness, just emotion, and again backing it up with I prayed about it. I asked the Lord to heal the wounds causing me to react the way I did. So many times in my life I have been rejected in HIS name, and I am certain to have more. It was not just one thing that happened, but a series. But God, He was faithful, and I will keep praying. Because when those things happen, and we set self on the altar, we see the purpose of God’s plan in it all. Then, the feelings or emotions, or even the spirits influencing us have no power. Because we surrender to GOD alone.
I will say again and again, I am NOT perfect, but I serve a PERFECT GOD!
The “crazy” faith we have may look ODD to some, but the fact is this, when we stand in FAITH it is about LIFE not death. We have been led to seek God to remove obstacles, and in some cases people that are trying to infect us or poison our walk. God is NOT playing around, this is NOT the time to just dig your heels in because it looks like it is the right thing. This IS the time to SEEK GOD. because when we do, then our ways will become HIS, and God will make us into a signs and wonders.
He wants to do this. God desires for us to be ALL He created us to become. He wants to bring us back from the dead. That means changing what we watch sometimes, and what we listen to, and even who we spend time with. I am amazed that so many people in leadership are not aware of certain spirits. This will not always be the case. People will either do it God’s way or perish. There really is no inbetween. It is either God or satan.
In 2010 he had me write a book about this topic. The point is choosing FAITH over FEAR and it is a LIFELONG process, commitment and covenant with GOD.
Some people wonder why we have to break UnGodly soul ties daily, close doors to evil, choose LIFE over Death, speak the blood of Jesus, and walk out the WALK in LOVE. Here is the simplest reason, because God said so. The weapons of warfare are not carnal, or physical.
Look at this scripture.
4 For the weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood], but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds,
5 [Inasmuch as we] refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One),
6 Being in readiness to punish every [insubordinate for his] disobedience, when your own submission and obedience [as a church] are fully secured and complete.
I was watching a show recently, which I don’t watch as often now, cause I can barely stomach it. Anyway, an entertainer was talking about his marriage and said, “We have to of course keep the LUST alive.” I about threw up. I looked at our daughter and said, “Are they serving God?” She said, “no way, though they may think they are.” I said, “Sadly, I am not sure they care.” But, GOD does! LORD, bring them back from the DEAD.
Verse 6 in the scripture is particularly important. If the church is messed up with spirits, how can it fight the darkness? This is why the enemy’s spies have made their place there. But this is rapidly changing. we must understand that though the men and women of God whom God used were good examples, they were not perfect. Just because someone said something, we must not worship what was said. Jesus is perfect, and He is what brings all the imperfections to a halt. Specifically, by uniting with the Father and the Holy Spirit, the LORD has HIS way and HIS way alone.
THIS will be a glorious season IF we keep our eyes focused on Christ. IF we preach like HIM, because He must be the one moving in US to raise up the dead. Those who have been beaten, abused, hurt, hindered, thrown out like trash, kicked, bullied, and so much more. In Christ alone our hope is found.
Watch HIM bring the CHURCH back from the DEAD!!!
Let God arise and HIS enemies be scattered….hear the LION of JUDAH ROAR! Stand on the promises of GOD and watch TRANSFORMATION happen all around you. FOR HIS GLORY and purpose alone.
Today, we pray that whatever was lost, stolen, or hidden away, be restored as you come to HIM in obedience and repent with a sincere heart. I am doing so on behalf of many, as well as on my own behalf. LORD have your way in our lives, and bring to LIFE what we believed to be dead forever. In Jesus Name and BLOOD, Amen ~
This morning when God woke me abt 5 something, He reminded me of something. I went to sleep crying out for those suffering, some very dear to us, but ALL very dear to HIM. He reminded me that HE keeps His promises. God will meet us where we are, He will give us time and room to grow. He will give us Grace to learn, but not Grace to habitually sin.
Who and WHAT are we trusting in? What makes us quiver? Do we shake in FEAR of the bad of reverence for the GLORIOUS???
This world is coming out of rebellion. I know it does not LOOK like it, but GOD keeps His promises. One of them is this, when we pray He answers. It is NOT always the answer we desire, but it is ALWAYS the one we need. His word says, “If my people will humble themselves and pray, I will answer.” So are we? Because how can we expect to see the change if we are not coming with repentant hearts in obedience to the LORD?
Also, this morning, I kept hearing in my spirit, “My quiver if FULL.” I knew quiver had several meanings, according to the world. One of them is to tremble and shake. The other night a dear sister told me she was vibrating with His presence. She said she knew there was healing happening. 🙂
The Lord, also led me to this scripture in Psalms.
Psalm 127:3-5
Amplified Bible (AMP)
3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.
4 As arrows are in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one’s youth.
5 Happy, blessed, and fortunate is the man whose quiver is filled with them! They will not be put to shame when they speak with their adversaries [in gatherings] at the [city’s] gate.
WE are the FAMILY of GOD and HE lifts us from the FOG of this world! ~
What if we began to see our children as God’s reward. Because they are HIS first. He decided from a LOVE for us and them, to share. Someone told me yesterday that a child is not born innocent. But, what God showed us is, the innocence is there, it just gets covered up by the world. It gets buried by stress, fear, anger, anxiety, hurts, unforgiveness, pain, and so much more. Many of these things start as emotions, and then grow.
We can give roots to things that don’t need them. When we do, we give the enemy a welcome mat to come right in. Now negative things will happen, even devastating ones at times. Long suffering is a fruit of the spirit. We all will have a JOB season, who serve HIM. It is just part of it, and even the agony and anguish has purpose. The purpose is to bring us closer to GOD, strange as that seems. He does restore, and He ALWAYS tells the truth. Our GOD is a GOD of wonderful promises!
Our kids love cartoons, and really within us all, is that child like heart and faith that we began with. LORD resurrect it for your purpose and GLORY and GROW US up in you, as you desire. ~
A precious sister had something tragic happen recently, and as I prayed for her, I could not only feel her pain, but I could see her tears. God sees them to, and is holding her hand. In fact, whether they realize it or not, He is holding the hand of every family member. God grieves as we do. No matter how many times the enemy tries to get her or them to believe otherwise. God, and HIS ways will shine! The verse just mentioned was what came to me when praying for her.
I found myself weeping before the LORD, not just for her pain but my own and all the other children who are enduring. The ones who are being lied to, abused, beaten, neglected and so much more. These are children of GOD! We cannot take that lightly. Even if someone just saw them as their own, should we not be grateful for what we are given? Should we not honor them, and GOD in them?
I know the day to day stuff happens, and no we should not DWELL on the enemy but we should be AWARE of him. Because if we don’t teach the kids, our kids and other ones, that rebellion is a sin, and not pleasing to God, and by His words, “witch craft” then who will? I know this is a tough topic. I was not thrilled at first about writing on it, But, I have learned to just obey GOD, and He does the rest. He does it THROUGH us, around us, with us, and even IN US. Only GOD can do what he does, the enemy can try and fake it, and mock the LORD, but GOD always has the final say and the last laugh. He always brings the JOY!
God has been pulling us deeper into intercession for HIS kids. Prayer for Israel, Jerusalem, and all of HIS nations. Prayer that each child will be given the Heavenly opportunity to experience God’s LOVE, is often cried out. Then, we praise GOD for what he has done, is doing and is about to do. Because there will never be a time where He is not worthy.
This is a time where the demonic seems out in droves, but so are the angels! I repent today for not giving that enough attention. I praise GOD for the angels, but never say thank you to them. I know this seems strange, but perhaps just because we are not used to it. We should thank them, THEY are messengers of God, even say good morning to them. There will be a time very soon when they will NOT be as hidden as they were.
I have one friend who always has something negative to say whenever we are led to post about something regarding a warning. But God, I pray He meet my friend and brother where he is and heal his heart from negativity and law of the land. Because GOD is able, far more able than we as His people have given HIM credit for. father forgive me for times I have not believed or thought the worst. I choose today to forgive myself, and I pray your GLORY continue to multiply. Thank you for the ULTIMATE sacrifice that you made, so that I and all of your children could receive FREEDOM in you.
It is time to take not just steps of FAITH but LEAPS! LORD, grow us by LEAPS and BOUNDS!!!! help us not to regret or feel guilty for what was, but stay focused on what you have coming, and the JOY you bring!!!
Last weekend God led us to a conference. I know 100% it was HIM. I laid out a fleece that if He wanted us there, He would make a way. Because ya’ll in many respects, there was no way. He did, and He moved. He gave us money for the trip, and favor as well, HIS favor. Our car died 2 times before we got there. It was a test for us, because God has been dealing with us on HIS time.
We were running late, car would not start, our sweet neighbor had some info about the car. As he spoke I got frustrated, thinking where is this man’s faith. I heard God say, you are my examples, and he just needs to be heard and loved. SO, today I ask LORD that you bring him opportunities to be heard by you, and LOVED deeply by you. I repent for feeling frustrated, anxious or anything else, on behalf of me and our family. Thank you for your amazing Grace and mercy.
Today, is the 19th, a day of faith in the month of completion. God has been showing me completion and closure are similar. This year may be apostasy and rebellion to some, but I am believing it is the year of JESUS Christ, a mighty move of GOD in HIS LAND. I am believing that 13 is a beautiful number, after all when u add Jesus plus HIS disciples, that is what you get. 🙂
Because the LORD’s quiver is full, ours will be too. I decree and declare it in the name of JESUS Christ of NAZARETH and through the authority of Christ!
I have a few testimonies to share. One is from last weekend. After the conference, where God blessed us to both be used to minister, and also to be ministered to, and refreshed, we were weary. I asked for prayer from this wonderful group God put me in. The LORD heard, and the next day, my JOY and OUR JOY in HIM was even stronger! Now you know when this happens, you must prepare for an enemy attack.
We pray Psalm 91 daily for protection, and praise GOD that the enemy cannot retaliate to a point that is not fixable by GOD. So, we were led to go to see a dolphin that was in the movie “Dolphin Tale.” We love that movie! It is one of Sarah Elizabeth’s favorites. 🙂 Anyway, we got up to the place, and my husband had been under attack that morning a bit from unrest. God provided rock start parking (a spot up front without a fee), and then when we got ready to pay, we can our debit card and it said declined.
Now, anyone else might have just left, or checked the wallet and noticed that there was not enough, but not us. Because we know that we know that we know that GOD is bigger than that! He would not let us leave, but I admit I considered it. Then, God reminded me of something. Sarah Elizabeth was given a word in March abt going on this day to see this dolphin. The day was so important, because in the film, there is a child with one leg, and God has called us to healing. He has shown us many times that coming to this place to visit this sweet animal, is a seed for greater to come. So, even though hubby was stressed, and I was unsure, I said a simple prayer. I said this, “Lord if you desire us here this day, please make a way where there is no way, in Jesus name. Amen
What God did next was amazing, but “normal” for HIM. 😉 He prompted me to look in the wallet again, and there was an extra 20 dollar bill. God gave us the amount we needed, and an extra dollar to put in the adoption box for Winter. Sarah Elizabeth put it in and said, “Lord, bless this seed for your Glory.” Even thinking about this now, tears well up in my eyes.
God was using this experience to say to her, and us, YOU made it! It was more than just a victory for us, it was and IS a victory for HIM. She should have died,by the worlds standards by but He saved her. Why, because she submitted to the healing. I remember when she was born, before I ever knew her in the natural, I could feel the JOY inside. This beautiful gift from GOD, and just the beginning. Because my quiver is FULL! This is what the LORD says, and so shall I.
How about you? Is yours full? Are you doing things God way? Are you receiving the POWER of GOD daily? Because if not, I am here to tell you that YOU are missing out! Missing out on the GLORY of GOD, the LOVE of GOD, the mercy of GOD, the JOY of GOD, the Grace of GOD, the PEACE of GOD, the HOPE of GOD, and SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much MORE!!!
Today our prayer as a family for you is this. LORD fill up the quivers of your children. Help us to see the angels through your eyes, and experience YOUR LOVE anew each day. Father we pray for Israel and Jerusalem and even EGYPT today, that you will resurrect their JOY. Bring them to a place of UNITY in you, for your GLORY and purpose.
For only YOU can BRING LIFE! ONLY YOU!!! The enemy is jealous because he cannot. You are a jealous GOD, but what you are jealous for heals, delivers and saves us and ALL we come in contact with. We must not fear who won’t reach the Heavens, but have FAITH that your perfect will be done. Thank you LORD that you are a GOD of more than enough. You can drop 20 dollars in a wallet, or 10,000 in a bank account, which has also been done for us by HIM. You will resurrect ALL that you desire us to have and then some, because you know our hearts, and they are 100% for you alone. For all we ever receive is and always will be YOURS!
GLORY to GOD FOREVER!!!!

WE QUIVER with the FEAR and REVERENCE and GLORY of GOD!!!!
Today is the 14th. I am certain I have mentioned this before as led, but it is pertinent to repeat. It means deliverance. So many are scared of this word. But the FACT is GOD is simple at the CORE. He wants us FREE!!! Breaking down this word reveals a lot. DE- to take away from LIV- To breathe life, and have a heartbeat ER- to DO,or a place where a physician fixes you in an emergency. and ANCE- the action, state, or quality of doing something or of being something.
The LORD is our master physician. Through JESUS the Father reaches us because He is relational. This is part of why the word says no one comes to the Father except through HIM. what is interesting is GOD is very relational, also personal and authoritative in ONE.
GOD is pouring out NEW OIL in this season!!! Are you ready to receive?
So, as our physician, or doctor, GOD heals us. He delivers us as well, and redeems us again, all in ONE. He is a multidimensional GOD yes, but at the CORE of who GOD is and what He represents is so very straightforward. Let’s look at HIS definition of HIMSELF. he used man to relay HIS words.
God’s LOVE is HEALING!!! RECEIVE HIS LOVE, BE MADE WHOLE!!!
This chapter is about the character GOD wants us to have and ALSO the one that we DO have in HIM!!!
1 Corinthians 13
Amplified Bible (AMP)
13 If I [can] speak in the tongues of men and [even] of angels, but have not love (that reasoning, intentional, spiritual devotion such [a]as is inspired by God’s love for and in us), I am only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
2 And if I have prophetic powers ([b]the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), and understand all the secret truths and mysteries and possess all knowledge, and if I have [sufficient] faith so that I can remove mountains, but have not love (God’s love in me) I am nothing (a useless nobody).
3 Even if I dole out all that I have [to the poor in providing] food, and if I surrender my body to be burned or[c]in order that I may glory, but have not love (God’s love in me), I gain nothing.
4 Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily.
5 It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God’s love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong].
6 It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail.
7 Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening].
8 Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end]. As for prophecy ([d]the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), it will be fulfilled and pass away; as for tongues, they will be destroyed and cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away [it will lose its value and be superseded by truth].
9 For our knowledge is fragmentary (incomplete and imperfect), and our prophecy (our teaching) is fragmentary (incomplete and imperfect).
10 But when the complete and perfect (total) comes, the incomplete and imperfect will vanish away (become antiquated, void, and superseded).
11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; now that I have become a man, I am done with childish ways and have put them aside.
12 For now we are looking in a mirror that gives only a dim (blurred) reflection [of reality as [e]in a riddle or enigma], but then [when perfection comes] we shall see in reality and face to face! Now I know in part (imperfectly), but then I shall know and understand [f]fully and clearly, even in the same manner as I have been [g]fully and clearly known and understood [[h]by God].
13 And so faith, hope, love abide [faith—conviction and belief respecting man’s relation to God and divine things; hope—joyful and confident expectation of eternal salvation; love—true affection for God and man, growing out of God’s love for and in us], these three; but the greatest of these is love.
HIS WATER IS LIFE WATER FOR OUR SOUL! HIS FOOD IS MANNA FROM HEAVEN!!!
When we were out and about this weekend, GOD moved so powerfully. We began to receive revelation that signs, wonders and miracles are simply “something we did not expect that was supernatural.” Grateful that GOD is increasing this. Not just because we have HIS desires to see the land healed, but also because we are looking at miracles differently. We felt convicted to repent for not seeing ALL the miracles. Yet, GOD is so gracious and when we do so, He simply shows us that perhaps it was not time to view them. 😉
HIS time is perfect! This is a powerful time and it will grow more powerful as HE pours out HIS Glory. Again, the enemy will try and stop us, but GOD will keep flowing!!!! HIS water spout never runs dry. GLORY to GOD!!!! NEW LIFE WATER!!!!
So, how are we petitioning GOD? Well we talk to HIM. He desire to hear from us. We are HIS children. He says,” let the little children come unto me, for the KINGDOM of Heaven is made up of such as these. ” WE are HIS, He has called us by NAME. Oh, and here it must be noted that it is good to know what your name means. The opposite of that will be where the enemy attacks most.
Now, from the medical world perspective, I can tell you there was a time, not long ago when I hated doctors. I believe it was because of wounds I had experienced. They were very deep and I sought GOD to just pour HIS GLORY on them. He did, and now I am beginning to understand something GOD revealed long ago, again. Funny how when we are hard headed or hard hearted, He is patient with us. HIS Grace really is sufficient, and thankfully perfected in our weakness, where HE alone is strong.
OK, so God showed us with a doctor there are 3 stages. There is a student, which is a RESIDENT, A graduate student which is a FELLOW and a RESIDENT which is the final stage. The RESIDENT has full authority. The word says to study to show ourselves approved. This is the student, as we graduate from that we go into fellowship with God, and lastly we reside with HIM, or REST in HIM.
THIS changed our perspective entirely. GOD removed the sting, and death or FEAR was no longer present there. I believe if I experienced something where God led me to a “doctor” we will stand even stronger in FAITH that GOD has moved, and it will manifest, and their minds, hearts and spirit will be changed. For seeds have been planted and harvest is coming. What brings growth to the garden? RAIN!!!!!! OH GLORY RAIN!!!!!!
GOD is a GOD of HOLY resurrection! THIS was part of HIS ultimate act of LOVE, being crucified, taking our sins and coming back in NEW LIFE and form in GLORY!!!!!
I am going to post lyrics of a song with the same title….
The songs only share a title, one song is from a place of sorrow, but perseverance the second is from a place of TRUST and ABIDING in a GOD that LOVES US! BOTH can be tied back to GOD, but only if our heart is for HIM.
See if you can see which is which….
Song #1
“Bring On The Rain”
Sung by JO DEE MESSINA (feat. Tim McGraw)
Another day has almost come and gone Can’t imagine what else could go wrong Sometimes I’d like to hide away somewhere and lock the door A single battle lost but not the war (’cause)
[Chorus:] Tomorrow’s another day And I’m thirsty anyway So bring on the rain
It’s almost like the hard times circle ’round A couple drops and they all start coming down Yeah, I might feel defeated, And I might hang my head I might be barely breathing – but I’m not dead, no (’cause)
[Chorus]
I’m not gonna let it get me down I’m not gonna cry And I’m not gonna lose any sleep tonight (’cause)
Tomorrow’s another day And I am not afraid So bring on the rain
I can count a million times People asking me how I Can praise You with all that I’ve gone through The question just amazes me Can circumstances possibly Change who I forever am in You Maybe since my life was changed Long before these rainy days It’s never really ever crossed my mind To turn my back on you, oh Lord My only shelter from the storm But instead I draw closer through these times So I pray
Bring me joy, bring me peace Bring the chance to be free Bring me anything that brings You glory And I know there’ll be days When this life brings me pain But if that’s what it takes to praise You Jesus, bring the rain
I am Yours regardless of The dark clouds that may loom above Because You are much greater than my pain You who made a way for me By suffering Your destiny So tell me what’s a little rain So I pray
SO today we come and PETITION GOD to bring on the RAIN! POUR ONTO US all that is needed to rid us of this world and any impurities. Today I was blessed to chat with a precious sister. We have so many wonderful people in the family of GOD. Anyway, I looked at her and said, ” I am seriously a professional repenter.” She said, “That will keep you humble.” I was like, wow! GLORY to GOD!!!!!
I thank GOD that HE is our healer, redeemer and deliverer. HE alone is FAITHFUL and TRUE! HE ALWAYS COMES THROUGH!!!! When GOD SAYS,” it’s over” it IS! When He says ,”It is NOT over till HE says it is over, it isn’t!” ALL GLORY TO GOD!!!!
I beseech you to seek HIM before seeking another physician. Because when we are SEEKING HIM we SEE KING ( OUR KING)! PETITION HIM for HIS PURPOSE, and the GLORY will FALL all around you for YOU are HIS CHILD, HE is yours and you are HIS. OH HOW HE LOVES US!!!
LET’S show HIM just how much we LOVE HIM by OBEYING HIM. OBEdIeNCE- BE LIKE OBED! His name means servant of GOD!!!
This morning as I woke I was sore, and I was tempted to speak complaining. God convicted me, and said there is healing happening. So, I began to be grateful. Jesus has overcome the world, so in HIM so shall we. But only, when we do things HIS way. Glory to GOD!
This is an exciting time, it looks terrible around us. But, it does not change the facts.It is a time for us to see the BEAUTY develop from the ashes. God made promises to us. Promises that happen more and more as we seek HIS face and OBEY Him. He will keep His promises. he wants to see them fulfilled in our lives.
Let the LION of JUDAH ROAR on your behalf today! After all, he died for you and for me, so we could experience FREEDOM in Him. ~
Many are NOT obeying God, and for those that are in this place, my heart grieves, and my body aches. Because what is coming for them is indescribable. Such pain, anguish and sadness will hunt them down. It will not be sent by the enemy. God is sovereign and when we reject HIM and choose other “gods” then He has to chasten us. It is His job to do so. Believe it or not, he does so from a place of LOVE.
While typing this out today, He laid upon my heart, I heard a song I used to love. Then, all the sudden I did not love it so much. I connected the song with memories. Again, God convicted me and said to lay it down. To lay every bit of it down at HIS altar is freeing, and it honors HIM. So, once again I took myself, my physical body, questions, emotions, memories, desires, hopes, dreams, aspirations, thoughts, children, ministry, and really anything else that came to my heart mind and spirit. I felt a release. It was almost instant. Glory to God!
The dead that will arise first, are HIS children who have been held in captivity. He came and still comes to set the captives FREE. When we are feeling controlled, it is not just the spirit of control, it is also a Pharoah spirit that the enemy wants us to believe is God. It is also a spirit called Kundalini. We have spoken of this before. The latter has been used by the enemy to drive God’s children into the ground. Long before their time had come many of them, but God.
The greatest thing about God is whether it looks like it now, He ALWAYS gets His way. Because He is a winner, we become one in HIM. United with HIM Goliaths fall and He gets the Glory. His Bride will be spotless without wrinkle or blemish, and He alone will cleanse us.
So, LORD today resurrect us, your children ; and give us your wisdom. Teach us how to remain hidden in you, and be used by you to raise the dead, to command scattering of your enemies. For it MUST be YOU in us to do this, or we will fail, every time.
Even when we are in the pits of despair and FEAR, God will come to us. He will give us an opportunity to be set FREE. This choice will be between life and death. God desires that none shall perish.
Should we not be seeking to pray GOD’s desires, even above our own? Because this is OUR job, to be used by HIM to bring Heaven to earth. The Lord’s Prayer talks about this. So today we ask God, on the day of the angels, as well as that of judgement and disorder, and in they month of completion to have HIS way.
God does not want us ill. he has given us many tools and weapons to be used in battle with the enemy. One of them is OIL. Something as simple as olive oil can be prayed over and used to anoint. Trust GOD, because HIS ways work! He is bringing NEW OIL this season, and with it will come JOY for those ready to receive and following HIS narrow path.
There are some things we cannot yet do, but He can. He is a great teacher, and if we are willing to learn, we will receive MANNA from Heaven. For only He can quench our thirst and fulfill our need for what we hunger for. Only GOD can cause the DEAD to Arise and HIS enemies, which are also ours, to be scattered. All GLORY and HONOR to the Father, son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.
LORD pour into us, so your GLORY can shine, and the DEAD can be RESURRECTED!
For we are yours. no matter what part we play in the BODY, we BELONG to you alone!!!
We do NOT belong to the enemy and we choose today to come OUT of agreement with him in ALL areas of our lives. Because one of the greatest enemies that satan uses is SELF. Lord, burn away ALL iniquities from us and your children that you share with us.
May the DEAD arise more and more, for the GLORY of GOD! May ALL enemies be scattered through the power of HIS might alone!
In Jesus name and BLOOD,
Amen
LET GOD arise, and raise the DEAD things in our lives that He desires resurrected. When you do, you will see amazing MIRACLES and the ENEMIES will SCATTER will JAWS dropped OPEN!!!
What happens when FIRE attacks? The answer is, it ravages. It destroys pretty much everything in its path. What happens when powerful water attacks or wind? The same thing! The world is ON FIRE. Some of it is HOLY and some is VERY unholy indeed.
Many are receiving from, and in agreement with, the enemy. Some without knowing, and sadly some with very real knowledge and purpose to glorify satan. This is NOT a time to play around. It just isn’t.
Remember years ago, when Billy Joel sang the song “We didn’t start the Fire?” Well, the fact is this, WE DID. Maybe not blatantly, or necessarily from malice, but we need to own it and repent. Why is the rebellion seeming so extreme? Well yes, God prophesied it would get rough, but guess what else He told us? That we have the power, through HIM in US to trample snakes and scorpions.
He did NOT, I repeat did NOT tell us to lie down and take it. He did not say that we deserve to be abused, or that we should be doormats. He in fact said, that we are ALL called to be BOLD in the LORD. His word says, “Many are called, but FEW are chosen.” The chosen ones will know who they are. They cannot say, “I did not know, because too many people are interceding on their behalf, and on behalf of the nations , since a lot just refuse to pray.
When God reveals His secrets, it is not always happy. Because to our flesh it BURNS. After all JESUS was crucified for our sins. SO, that we could have LIFE and do so abundantly. That does not mean do so in excess. Yet, many of us do so. But, we have an amazing GOD who loves us and forgives us and needs us to forgive ourselves and others, and keep repentant hearts, full of HOLY FIRE.
HUMBLING is necessary, chastisement is necessary. if we fight it, we will just get MORE. Look around us in our world. The earth is crying out, literally with FLOODS, Tornadoes, Hurricanes, Earthquakes, and more. yes, there is biblical prophesy taking place. However, part of that is for God’s people, HIS children, to step up and be willing to let GO of control, or even desire to. To speak to the winds and the waves, as god moves in us, and see them obey.
We can all be in agreement that the “WORLD” is on FIRE. Many have said it is going to “hell in a hand basket.” But, I do not agree with the latter. I simply believe the enemy wants to deceive us, make us NOT open for correction, and either kill us with passivity, or kill us with overzealousness. The last one is simply zeal for things other than God.
Was watching “Independence Day” reminded on the 4th, and God reminded us that it is required for us as COGS (Children of God Supers). We cannot just pray against wars and famines, and destruction. We have to pray that God’s will be served in them. Ultimately that as these things arrive, GOD will move and HE alone will be glorified through HIS son, Jesus Christ.
Father, today we pray that you will burn up ALL spirits NOT of you with your HOLY FIRE. We pray that you will release even more warring angels to encamp around your children. That as we are led to go out and be used by you to heal the sick, feed the poor, cast the demons out, and raise the dead, the GLORY of GOD will prevail, and all will know and give honor and homage only to you, our GOD and KING.
In Jesus name and BLOOD,
Amen
LORD bring your GLORIFIED FIRE, as only YOU can. BURN away all that is of us, so ONLY you remain.
