In Him we have redemption (deliverance and salvation) through His blood, the remission (forgiveness) of our offenses (shortcomings and trespasses), in accordance with the riches and the generosity of His gracious favor,
I noticed today that remission means forgiveness. In today’s culture we label former cancer patients as being in remission. God says they are forgiven through the blood of his son. Interesting link
A few days ago, this entry was begun. But to be really upfront about things, it took that long to sort of get my head together. Our family is used to enduring with GOD and in HIM. But, having said that, THIS trial, and how it is ending is well, not completely what we expected. Yet, on some level kind of exactly what we expected. Because with GOD, we EXPECT great things!!! Does that mean that nothing negative will ever come? Absolutely NOT!!! But what it does mean is GOD will overcome.
So, to the topic of this post. Do we have cracks in the surface? YES. Can GOD use that too? YES!!!!
God breaks us down to FEED us to the multitude. Look at Gideon. Also, look at the feeding of the five thousand.
Here is a link of a sermon that GOD gave someone about the Clay pots and the cracks in them. Please enjoy because what it says is important…
GOD does break us, but NOT in a way that is unable to be restored. Because the FACT is, HE requires surrender. Even in a child. Our children, that we have been given are warriors. Some live with us and some elsewhere, but ALL of them live with GOD. We look forward to GOD healing the cracks in the surface, and if necessary breaking us down more. Because it will NOT be about us. It WILL always be about GOD in US.
Our doctor this time has a name that reminded us of putty. How we are putty in God’s hands.
Definition of PUTTY
—used for a compound that is used as a filler for cracks or holes in a surface.
What does GOD do? He fills with HIS BLOOD the cracks in the surface. YES LORD!!!!!! We so hear you!!!! FILL US UP and SEND US OUT!!!
2 Corinthians 4
Amplified Bible (AMP)
4 Therefore, since we do hold and engage in this ministry by the mercy of God [granting us favor, benefits, opportunities, and especially salvation], we do not get discouraged (spiritless and despondent with fear) or become faint with weariness and exhaustion.
2 We have renounced disgraceful ways (secret thoughts, feelings, desires and underhandedness, the methods and arts that men hide through shame); we refuse to deal craftily (to practice trickery and cunning) or to adulterate or handle dishonestly the Word of God, but we state the truth openly (clearly and candidly). And so we commend ourselves in the sight and presence of God to every man’s conscience.
3 But even if our Gospel (the glad tidings) also be hidden (obscured and covered up with a veil that hinders the knowledge of God), it is hidden [only] to those who are perishing and obscured [only] to those who are spiritually dying and veiled [only] to those who are lost.
4 For the god of this world has blinded the unbelievers’ minds [that they should not discern the truth], preventing them from seeing the illuminating light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ (the Messiah), Who is the Image and Likeness of God.
5 For what we preach is not ourselves but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves [merely] as your servants (slaves) for Jesus’ sake.
6 For God Who said, Let light shine out of darkness, has shone in our hearts so as [to beam forth] the Light for the illumination of the knowledge of the majesty and glory of God [as it is manifest in the Person and is revealed] in the face of Jesus Christ (the Messiah).
7 However, we possess this precious treasure [the divine Light of the Gospel] in [frail, human] vessels of earth, that the grandeur and exceeding greatness of the power may be shown to be from God and not from ourselves.
8 We are hedged in (pressed) on every side [troubled and oppressed in every way], but not cramped orcrushed; we suffer embarrassments and are perplexed and unable to find a way out, but not driven to despair;
9 We are pursued (persecuted and hard driven), but not deserted [to stand alone]; we are struck down to the ground, but never struck out and destroyed;
10 Always carrying about in the body the liability and exposure to the same putting to death that the Lord Jesus suffered, so that the [[a]resurrection] life of Jesus also may be shown forth by and in our bodies.
11 For we who live are constantly [experiencing] being handed over to death for Jesus’ sake, that the [[b]resurrection] life of Jesus also may be evidenced through our flesh which is liable to death.
12 Thus death is actively at work in us, but [it is in order that [c]our] life [may be actively at work] in you.
13 Yet we have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, I have believed, and therefore have I spoken. We too believe, and therefore we speak,
14 Assured that He Who raised up the Lord Jesus will raise us up also with Jesus and bring us [along] with you into His presence.
15 For all [these] things are [taking place] for your sake, so that the more grace (divine favor and spiritual blessing) extends to more and more people and multiplies through the many, the more thanksgiving may increase [and redound] to the glory of God.
16 Therefore we do not become discouraged (utterly spiritless, exhausted, and wearied out through fear). Though our outer man is [progressively] decaying and wasting away, yet our inner self is being [progressively] renewed day after day.
17 For our light, momentary affliction (this slight distress of the passing hour) is ever more and more abundantly preparing and producing and achieving for us an everlasting weight of glory [beyond all measure, excessively surpassing all comparisons and all calculations, a vast and transcendent glory and blessedness never to cease!],
18 Since we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and fleeting), but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting.
GOD has performed SO many miracles. HE does this daily and SO deserves credit. It is a miracle we ALL are still alive, it is a miracle healing is happening so rapidly, a miracle every time our needs are met, a miracle every time we breathe, a miracle we have a vehicle, or a place to sleep and food. See where this is going? MIRACLES are ALL around us. THANK GOD!!!!!
It is a MIRACLE that even with the cracks in the surface, GOD can use us. It TRULY is!!!!!
WE cannot even attempt to LIMIT GOD. We just cannot….HE can and WILL use everything. But, remember that HE excuses nothing too. The enemy’s camp may think they are getting away with things, but GOD. Just keep praising HIM, watching HIM and believing that NO WEAPON formed against us will prosper and it won’t!
OK, until next entry GOD BLESS you ALL…do NOT worry because HE has so got ALL these questions we have covered. WATCH GOD!!!! Our gal is healing and so are we and many others. GLORY TO GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the BLOOD of JESUS ~ AMEN
Have you ever experienced a trepidation about seeing relatives that you haven’t in a while? Well, if you have, this will be easy to understand. The Hospital has kind of been like another HOME to us. One thing WE as a family have asked GOD to do is to bring us into HIM, draw us nearer, no matter where we are. Our family travels as He leads. Some call us religious, but we are NOT. We are simply so in LOVE with GOD.
I have not personally visited my actual HOMELAND in person since 2010. I actually thought it had been longer. I don’t actively speak with any of my biological relatives, and neither does my spouse with his. WE understand like Joseph the persecution that comes from being “different” according to the world. Do we LOVE this? Well, NO. But, we know that GOD has called us for a season to step back and let HIM move.
It is HARVEST time….we are COMING HOME to GOD again. We have learned HOME is wherever He plants us. So right now, HOME is the hospital. God is funny and very strategic in how HE moves. We did not want to come back here in our flesh. When it looked like that was what He was doing, we ALL fought it. But, as always we surrendered to HIM. Because really what other choice is there?
I know it sounds weird to some that HOME could be a place like this. But, HOME to GOD is where HE has us. No matter what the surroundings look like. In this case, home is where we have people not very often speaking LIFE over us, because many of them serve science as god. No judgement on them because we have so been there. But, no that it can make things THAT more challenging. JESUS our awesome BROTHER speaks LIFE over us. Do we receive this??? Or, do we receive something else?
HOME in GOD is about peace. It is not about never reacting in emotion, more about ALWAYS reacting in HIS LOVE. Do I mess up? YEP. Do we ALL? YEP. There are some who seriously work hard to make life HELL for people. Our prayer is the opposite. As my beautiful sister Robin Main says, “Give them HEAVEN!!!!” Love it and LOVE working for GOD, no matter the cost. LORD give us HEAVEN!!!
LORD have your way…and BRING us HOME. But, before you bring us there, bring HEAVEN, our HOME here. IJN AMEN
When I was informed that I was going to be used to write this, I was not ready to throw a party. At least I was not in my flesh excited. But my spirit leapt!!!! The fact is we know about unwavering faith. But God wants everything unwavering. He wants our spirit fixed on HIM. He wants our hearts, eyes, mind and even soul focused on HIM. Because without this, we die. We spiritually die, literally die and physically as well.
HANG on…HELP is on the way….REPENT and seek HIS FACE TODAY ~
Do you believe God is bigger than any obstacle? Have you seen HIM move mountains in your life? Because we have, and DO experience THIS daily. In our flesh we tend to ask why, or even see things at face value. But God’s answer is certain. His ways are NOT ours. I was reminded that the blog before this one was about God’s army. We are on HIS team, and HIS final blow is VICTORY!!!
We must understand that unwavering also means balanced. It does not mean we never feel, or express an emotion. More to the point, it does mean those feelings or emotions are NOT our God. Please do not misunderstand. We feel many things. So does Jesus in us. But we do not have the luxury of acting from that.
THIS appears to be on a firm foundation…BUT appearances can be deceiving. ~
In my flesh, I protested God. I said, “come on, why me? Isn’t someone else available? Especially now, I mean really Father?” But the fact is being chosen is an honor. SO I repented. It is a privilege not a right, but it is for sure a rite of passage. Who killed Jesus? Did we? Anyone who has at one time idolized another god participated. So guess what that means. Repentance is necessary. Because a clean and spotless bride will be retrieved.
LORD make us steadfast, laser focused on you, with ALL your Glory shining and all your LOVE unwavering. I thank you and praise you. YOU alone are worthy. YOU alone are holy. IJN and BLOOD AMEN
D – the first day of school this year, Sarah Beth handed me three quarters that she had found on the sidewalk as she boarded the bus and gave me a hug and kiss. God told me the quarters would be significant. They were a 1994 american eagle quarter, a 2004 wisconsin state quarter with a wheat sheaf and a cow, and a 2012 alaska state quarter with the denali national park and a goat. here’s what it meant to me: in 1994 i moved to WAshington (Wisconsin + Alaska = WA -> Washington). while in washington in 2004 i met my wife. in 2012 we left washington driving a yukon denali. i recently looked in the driver side door and found the denali was manufactured in wisconsin.
ok lets start out with ‘brought me three quarters that she found on the sidewalk’. tell me about the last time you found three quarters on the sidewalk. then to see the all the ways God brought connections into light through those quarters. we continually see more meanings revealed.
VICTORY is a SURE THING when working with and IN our awesome GOD 🙂 He can use anyone, and He even came here to earth, in the form of a BABY. Innocence, PURITY, Hope, JOY, Faith, LOVE and so much more! ~
So, if He can give me these three quarters, what else can He do? GREATER WORKS….most importantly using us, HIS COGS.
Whatever you are enduring GOD and HIS LOVE is bigger and better. TRUST in HIM. Stand on HIS promises. His secret is HE WINS!!!
It is the 17th which Biblically means VICTORY. Who has the victory? GOD does!!!! Remember that JESUS is the way to the FATHER. Which means we cannot ignore the HEAVENLY Father and Holy Spirit. Yes seek JESUS, but do not stop there. The fact is the antichrist spirit is definitely in the world. Not saying the person who will be possessed by it has been shown. But, what we have been taught is to be careful of churches who have no balance. GOD is GOD, 3 in 1. The fullness of GOD must be worshiped in spirit and TRUTH.
This particular post is about GOD being UNLIMITED in what HE uses as a weapon. The enemy is very limited. BUT GOD can absolutely unequivocally and WILL use anything. Just remember this, HE excuses nothing too. The reason for the title is simple. If we do not ASK God to build the arsenal of spiritual weaponry, then how will we ever receive it? We have NOT because we ask not.
WE are part of the ARMY of GOD. Some are generals, privates, lieutenants. Everyone has a position. I say this with HOLY urgency. Take it, the position He has given, or face destruction. GOD is not a GOD of intimidation, but HE is a GOD of preparation. He is not one to just DUMP on us and never give reprieve. Please understand that is not a GOD of LOVE that does that, it is a god of hate…our enemy.
THE best JOB we can have is to let GOD move….do it LORD bring down the KINGDOM of DARKNESS. BIRTH your GLORY!!!!!
This topic was not one I really got excited about discussing, or even being used to write. But, the fact is, we NEED divine intervention in EVERY area of our lives. There are too many people operating in evil, and many through it as they call it in. Those people will get one last chance to choose FREEDOM over BONDAGE. Because GOD still LOVES them.
If we are not in complete agreement, 100% with GOD, then how will REVIVAL spread? THERE is a HOLY REMNANT rising up as EAGLES, and thank GOD the UNHOLY one is being forced to sit down. Whom do you serve? What do you serve? DO you serve FEAR or the god of it? DO you serve FAITH and the GOD of it? It is time to find out. DO not delay.
GOD has been teaching us that we should NOT tie HIS hands. Yes, He can work around us, but prefers to work through HIS children, HIS COGS. He wants repentant hearts, and willing vessels to use for HIS GLORY. Are you one of these willing participants? Are you willing to WALK in FREEDOM, no matter the cost?
MANY angels of HIS are fighting on our behalf. FOR the GLORY of GOD will FALL. ~
LORD build the arsenal. We repent for any time we have not received what you give. YOU use ALL things for your GLORY. You take the darkness and transform it into HOLY LIGHT. THERE is nothing impossible for you. There is no amount of anything that can defeat you. Give us unconditional FAITH, TRUST, HOPE, SURRENDER, PEACE, JOY, MERCY, GRACE and anything else that is HOLY and of you. BE our everything. BE our breath. MOVE in us oh GOD. CLEANSE us and PURIFY US as you SANCTIFY US for your GLORY and saturate us in it. ONLY YOU are the most holy commander, and we adhere to you and you alone as you lead. WE will wait until PEACE is present to step, we commit and covenant with you, to wait on you and be STILL and know that you are GOD. IJN and BLOOD AMEN
CHOOSE this day which side you are on. Only ONE wins.
A while back God led me to post something about anger. It was in relation to someone saying God is not mad at us. That is is not entirely accurate 100% of the time. He gets mad at HIS children. He just does not STAY mad forever. The ones He really gets mad at most are those who blatantly are rebelling against HIM through evil that is unspeakable. I say this, as He gives, to explain something.
WE have to know who GOD is. We also have to know who WE are. The third thing and most important; we need to know is, who we are in HIM. Do you know those three things? Do I know these three things? Do WE know them united?
God is a GOD of LOVE. But, LOVE itself is not always something that we receive with ease. God is a GOD who does get angry with HIS children sometimes, but the LOVE always rises up. It always overcomes. At the core of HIS LOVE is GRACE and FAITH. If we want to have more FAITH, we must receive HIS LOVE. We must also remember something else. Going from GLORY to GLORY to GLORY in HIM can at first be messy. But in HIS time, it will go as HE desires. God is a GOD of discipline. He does this because HE loves us, and overlooking things that hinder the growth process in HIM, would be unloving. God is a GOD of HEALING. Comprised of the FATHER in HEAVEN, that we get to have connection to, through our BROTHER JESUS, and the HOLY SPIRIT, GOD is 3 in one. HE is GLORY. He is HEALING. HE is HOME. God is everything. GOD is AN ALL ENCOMPASSING PARENT, as well as FAMILY. HE is our SAVIOR.
This gives more insights and scripture on who HE is…
Who are you? Are you a child of GOD? Do you receive that HE is your FATHER? Or do you serve another, and let someone else influence you? Are you a parent? Are you a spouse? Are you a giver? Are you a receiver? Who are YOU??? I know it is a lot of questions. This is not about self examination or even self reflection. What it IS about is GOD reflections. Do we see ourselves as GOD does? Without GOD…all these things that we ARE according to the world, are meaningless. The account for nothing. Without receiving HIS LOVE, on a daily basis, there is no JOY in these hats we wear. Do you want to have JOY? Or are you fine living in sorrow, sickness and disease constantly?
The bible only talks about who we are in HIM. Specifically it speaks on who we are in CHRIST. When we receive the sacrifice that was done, for us, we begin to crave more of GOD. We begin to seek HIM to let HIM move, and ultimately for HIM to have HIS way. You know why God does this? IT is because THAT is ALL that is important. He could tell us who we are in THIS World, but why would HE? There is no need, the world tells us. We have to understand that IT IS FINISHED. That means HE does overcome. OUR JOB is to LOVE, let GOD LOVE through us specifically, no matter what, and to let HIM use us to share and spread that LOVE.
Yes, we have a choice to choose HIS ways are not. The BIBLE is our GPS. It is like getting a car and never looking at the manual. Which, to be honest, some don’t unless there is a problem. But, i we do that with the WORD of GOD, then ALL we will have is problems. WE cannot be bound so much to anything, but the LOVE of GOD, the PURE LOVE that comes from GOD. It is a LOVE that admonishes, corrects, and coaches us. When we seek GOD to just take over, we have more PEACE, because it is HIS that HE shares with us. Nothing has power over us or in us except HIM.
Jesus became sin at the cross. Think about this for a moment. Think of the worst thing that has ever come upon you, or could ever come at you. JESUS took it ALL. ALL to GOD we owe. Sin had left a crimson stain, but HE washed it white as snow. He never sinned, but HE received ALL of our sins. Never would we compare our emotions with GOD’s, but what we do know is HE feels everything we do. When He showed this to us, it really convicted us. AT the time that He did, we had a broken marriage, on the verge of destruction, a child going through what the world considers something terminal, and we were beyond blessed in HIM too. WE had everything the world considers to be fruitful, but not what GOD was seeing as HOLY fruit.
Now, when people look at our lives, I pray they see HOLINESS. We, as a family believe that now what was hidden before, is becoming forefront. HIS harvest is taking place. IS it because things are perfect around us? Well no it is not. Is it because we deserve it? No, it is not because of that either. So why is GOD moving so greatly here? IT is because we went to the LORD and made a covenant to receive HIS blessings, LOVE, FAVOR, GRACE, GLORY, CORRECTION, ADMONISHMENT, HEALTH, CLEANSING,PURIFYING, and SANCTIFYING. We did not just say, LORD we believe and move on. We went to GOD and said, LORD have your way, show us your TRUTH, and take over our FAITH. Why did we do this? Because anything else is our effort and not GOD. WE came into agreement with HIM. Truly, the only thing I can say I did, or do is stay in agreement with GOD. Does this mean I never come out of that? No, it means that when I do, or anyone in the family does, we immediately get convicted, and come right back into GODLY agreement, and reject the rebuke the UNgodly ones.
If it were NOT for GOD and HIS LOVE we would be removed from this world. I will never take lightly the LOVE of GOD, but I will also and WE will also NEVER let that excuse any level of disobedience and rebellion. NO leaven will stay, which means, we will go through. BUT, not as the world does, because THAT simply would not honor our GOD.
THIS day, which is the 11th representing Biblically judgement and disorder, take time for GOD. Sit and reflect and spend time with HIM. If you are not yet comfortable reading HIS word, just sit in HIS presence. Speaking from very personal experience, in the beginning I was bound by LAW. I believed that if I did not read my bible 7 hrs plus a day, I was a horrible person. Someone gave me a GREAT analogy yesterday about the LAW. The person said, if you are driving along, in a convertible, doing the speed limit, the LAW has no effect. If you do the same thing, and SPEED, it does. The LAW has no hold on us without FEAR.
LOOK at the strategies of the enemy…pay attention for the sake of your own soul and that of your children He has given you. This world can be very dangerous, and impossible without GOD. Because without THAT we perish, and all that awaits us is a HELL that is indescribable. HELL is not created for believers in GOD. It is NOT created for those who receive Christ and HIS sacrifice. IT is created for torture of those who don’t. The enemy will lie and say you are loved, but he turns on his own. GOD, never leaves us or forsakes us and ALWAYS backs up HIS TRUTH. Whose teams wins? Well, we ALL know the end of the FINAL chapter. To us it is a no-brainer. Even the enemies team knows it. They are driven by UNHOLINESS. The competition, and vengeance, anger, and anything else you can think of that is evil. GOD is driven by GOODNESS…He knows no other way to be, and thankfully we can say neither do we. Daily we commit to being driven by GOD, and HIS LOVE, and to let GOD be the PILOT of our lives.
One last thought He just gave was this; FORGIVE. Choose to forgive yourself, others, and even GOD if needed. The last one is not because GOD messes up, but because the enemy may have used it to hurt or wound us. ASK the LORD for discernment. Without this, it very difficult to determine good from evil. The people practicing EVIL can see wounds and sense good. DO NOT be AFRAID, but be VERY AWARE.
It really is THIS simple…LIFE that is eternal or DEATH that is…
TAKe the time to praise GOD just because. HE so deserves ALL the GLORY and HE will deliver you. He already has.
Who do you say you are? Who does GOD say YOU are? Who are you in HIM?
When GOD put this in my spirit, it leapt!!! Yet, my flesh felt like it cringed. First off, though we know GOD is gonna keep moving mightily, we must also know at times the opposition and the TRIALS by FIRE will feel hotter. Having said that, let’s get down to the MEAT of this, shall we? LORD, I ask you to always type through me, give your children your words, thoughts and actions in JESUS name. AMEN ~
God has had me, personally being CLEANSED in this season. I am certain that many of you are going through too. Because the BODY of CHRIST is being united, and prepped for meeting the BRIDE GROOM. Our sweet daughter asked me recently something. What she asked kind of blew my natural mind. She said, “Momma, do you believe Jesus is coming back soon?” I said, “Well sweetheart soon is a very relative term. The fact is soon could be so many things. But, what I know is, we are called to live as if it could happen at any time, and ALWAYS to be prepared in HIM. He will return.”
WHEN we FACE the FEAR through HIM….HE CAUSES THAT FEAR to HAVE NO POWER!!!!!!!
Now I want you all to know just HOW important this topic is…The computer lost this post, and GOD resurrected it. I am so grateful that we have such a FAITHFUL GOD!!!!! He is so beyond ALL words.
He told us a while back that HE would CLEANSE, PURIFY, and SANCTIFY us. He keeps HIS word. We simply have to RECEIVE it!!! So what is it precious COGS that we are so AFRAID of??? Is it DEATH? Is it LIFE? Is it FAMINE? Think about your ABSOLUTE greatest FEAR….PONDER this with GOD. It may have even already come to pass. Because in this season, GOD is very lovingly pushing us past the point of our greatest FEAR.
Think about JOB…Reflect on what He endured, and because it was endured…know that we do NOT have to endure the same thing, but we can choose to, and GOD will LET us when it is necessary. I thank GOD for HIS mercy, even when we do not see it. Because GOD is in LOVE with JUSTICE. He is in LOVE with HIS children. However, we must understand that HIS LOVE is not a love that coddles. THAT comes from FEAR, and it is not of GOD.
DO NOT KEEP believing the enemies LIES!!!!! This is the same command as DO NOT BE AFRAID!!!!
I used to be terrified of losing a child. I have lost many, because of giving into this fear. The fact is, I survived in HIM and through HIM. In His LOVE, even when it was firm, and also BECAUSE it was. GOD broke the LOVE SPELL of this world that had a GRIP on me. He tore down the walls of FEAR that the enemy had carefully baited me into building. One of the first blogs, if NOT the first one, was on SELF and how it can be a weapon for GOOD or for evil.
So many are going through what looks like and feels like HELL. WE are no different. But, gonna be REALLY BOLD here and say, do NOT believe the BLATANT LIE that HELL only exists here, or that HEAVEN only exists there. GOD calls HIS children to be used by HIM, to bring Heaven to earth. SO, guess what the enemy’s children are called to do?
Do not believe that because you may have been naturally fathered by an enemy, or someone from that camp, that GOD HIMSELF does not LOVE you. He has adopted you into HIS heart and family. YOU are the child HE adores. The father you are indirectly serving is FALSE and FAKE. Come out of BABYLON mentality. Choose this day to wear as a BADGE of honor FAITH in your HEAVENLY FATHER, your BROTHER JESUS and the Beautiful HOLY SPIRIT!!!! THIS GOD will NEVER EVER EVER FAIL!!!!!!
YES GOD LOVES us and YES the LOVE will conquer any spirit of HATE that comes our way, as we walk in HIS LOVE, but THAT is not a reason to excuse bad behavior, disobedience and definitely not blatant rebellion. We are crucified with CHRIST and yet look how many give up and commit suicide or turn to drugs or whatever instead? This has to change….We must REPENT…we must fall PROSTRATE before HIS throne and RECEIVE HIS REDEMPTION….
LORD have your way…..like Esther, like Sarah, like Moses, like ALL of our Glorious family in you….BIRTH your GLORY!!!! YOU are the same GOD in them as you are in US. We must remember to REJOICE…in ALL THINGS….absolutely ALL things…If our greatest FEAR comes upon us, then we have to PRAISE HIM!!!! We will be set FREE through worshiping and praising HIM!!!! HALLELUJAH!!!
Apparently THIS is a very important topic. Cause ever since God put it on my heart, and I began praying, we have been under FIRE. I was supposed to do it yesterday, or so I thought. Even went before God repenting for not completing it. Only to hear HIM say, “My time is perfect.” Today is the second which represents UNION, DIVISION and WITNESSING. This is a season where God is not just calling for unity in the BODY, He is commanding it!
LOOK at it this way. YOUR flesh can burn NOW and GOD make you HOLY. OR, it can BURN for ALL ETERNITY in torture, and you never receive that gift of HIS CLEANSING LOVE. ~
Just now, when GOD had me begin typing, the whole computer froze. BUT GOD…He still gets the GLORY and HONOR and PRAISE. In this season, even more than before, the IDOLS will be falling. IF we hold anything over GOD, HE will remove it. He is a jealous GOD. He wants 100% of us. HE always will get HIS way LONG term. Because, look at what happened to JESUS. It finished the WAR in the spirit. NOW, in the time in which we live and breathe, we will see manifestation of this on earth.
Why does GOD do this? Well, because HE LOVES us. He knows that if we have anything above HIM, that it could destroy us. HIS will is that NONE should perish. That means GOD desires ALL of HIS children to be with HIM. However, we know from reading revelation that there will be some, who never choose God. Sad, but TRUE some will miss out on HIS LOVE. But, GOD knows what will come. ONLY GOD knows ALL things that will come. He sees the GOOD, the BAD and the UGLY.
Anything and ANYONE who has ever been an idol, will FALL. How far the FALL happens, is between GOD and the person, place, thing, etc…
EVEN unforgiveness can be an idol. Yes, we can idolize anything evil. FORGIVE…
Consider this, that ALL things that happen here on earth, happen first in the spirit. Meaning, they happen first either with the enemy’s camp or with GOD’s KINGDOM. So, we should acknowledge, that there is FIGHTING on our behalf, and also on behalf of the enemy. GOD is so much bigger than anything that could come against us. HIS LOVE will conquer ALL. Even if people reject HIM, we have to just keep LOVING and letting GOD LOVE through us. It is NOT easy at first, but He will cause us to rise above the darkness in HIM as eagles, the more we walk HIS GLORY road.
The original FALL of an idol, was satan being kicked out of HEAVEN. Then, that took place on earth, when Eve was bewitched, to eat the apple. When Adam ate the apple as well, it solidified the fall, because she and Adam were one. In essence, they became one with the enemy by partaking of the sin. No wonder GOD was so furious. They had to have major consequence for this. But, when JESUS died on a cross, we were freed from these curses. That does not mean we can rebel whenever we want. It means, we now have the chance to receive GOD’s LOVE again through redemption and repentance.
LOVE this picture because it really captures what happened. After EVE ate the apple, that JEZEBEL spirit affected her. Just look at the expression on her face. So, she then was used to tempt her spouse, to “finish the job.” Adam is scratching his head, as if he is thinking about it. ~
Currently we know many who are needlessly suffering. Why??? Because they either stay in agreement with the enemy 100%, or they waver back and forth. It is time, come out of agreement with the devil. Because his camp is getting destroyed, and you will not want to take part in what is coming. God weeps, HIS children weep, yet we also REJOICE because He has told us to. He says, count it ALL JOY. Not just some of it, but ALL of it.
If a glass gets broken, count it ALL JOY. If a child gets hurt, count it ALL JOY, if a spouse looses a JOB, threatens DIVORCE, slanders you, or is mean in any way, COUNT it ALL JOY. You know why GOD says this? Is it because these things make us feel joyful? NOPE, not a first. It is because the JOY of the LORD is our strength and our portion. The enemy wants to kill the joy, our faith in GOD, the LOVE we have within. BUT GOD. THE LORD desires to resurrect it, but ONLY after we lay it down unto HIM. Just picture yourself, standing before HIM, repenting for your part, and even theirs if necessary, and receiving HIS INTERVENTION in the process.
Sometimes HIS GLORY is messy. BUT, He promises to take us from GLORY to GLORY to GLORY. This means from TRIAL to TRIAL to TRIAL. It also refers to our “EGYPTS.” How do we get to the promised land? WELL, we simply SURRENDER to GOD everything and everyone that is in the way of the promises. At first, it is EASY to make it about us, and our so called problems. BUT, when we start continually and consistently rejecting revenge, and the enemy plans, and FOCUSING on GOD and HIS word, and HIS plans, that becomes EASIER.
GET RID of the IDOLS. Let GOD use you to clean house!!!!
3 DIFFERENT REPRESENTATIONS OF IDOLS. God will take the idols out, even unto death in some cases. ~
Someone one told me, GOD is the easy way out. This is very true. HOWEVER, at first the obedience feels like a sacrifice. At some point it must turn into a JOY instead. THE fact is like “toy soldiers” all the IDOLS will fall down. ALL the mountains will crumble, but THE LOVE of GOD and HIS word and TRUTH will still remain. Let the idols fall, they are going to fall anyway, so why fight that? GOD deserves more.
LORD, this day we need you even to SURRENDER through us. To heal all the wounds that have been open for years. WE receive it this day. FOR your GLORY and wrapped in it as well. We praise you FATHER GOD, LORD JESUS, and HOLY SPIRIT. Thank you for birthing your GLORY more and more. The enemy seems to be bolder, which ONLY means you will get bolder too, and put them to shame. HALLELUJAH!!!!! We choose to surrender ALL. Take us deeper LORD as only you can. IJN and BLOOD. Amen.
Last night we were led to see a movie. I was not really all that excited, which I repented for. Because it was a blessing, and I was simply feeling weary. Thank GOD He moves in us when we repent. Sometimes it is obvious when God moves, and other times, well NOT so obvious. In this case, He moved in very subtle ways. Yet, as I reflected I began to be shown a few more obvious ones. Oh, and forgot to mention, it being the 26th which represents the Gospel of Jesus Christ, was important too. 🙂 Also, the month of 10, represents testimony. This is a time to really watch what God is doing.
This picture came from my beautiful sister Jewel. Love how GOD gives us Family in HIM. It represents how God can use us to speak LIFE or we can choose to speak death. He is blowing HIS BREATH upon us and HIS BREATH is GLORY DUST!!!! HALLELUJAH!!!! Will you breath HIM in? ~
GOD moved by using us to plant seeds of encouragement, and by using the seeds to dispel the nastiness coming from many of the other films in the theater. The enemy tried to thwart it, but GOD. I thank the LORD for HIS faithfulness. We kept repenting and coming out of agreement with the enemy and back into agreement with GOD. That is what God desires. THIS is how the promises of GOD manifest and show up. 🙂 HIS LOVE falls down upon us. We receive, believe and REST in HIM.
Amplified Bible (AMP)
Psalm 91
1 He who [a]dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand].
2 I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust!
3 For [then] He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.
4 [Then] He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings shall you trust and find refuge; His truth and His faithfulness are a shield and a buckler.
5 You shall not be afraid of the terror of the night, nor of the arrow (the evil plots and slanders of the wicked) that flies by day,
6 Nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor of the destruction and sudden death that surpriseand lay waste at noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you.
8 Only a spectator shall you be [yourself inaccessible in the secret place of the Most High] as you witness the reward of the wicked.
9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,
10 There shall no evil befall you, nor any plague or calamity come near your tent.
11 For He will give His angels [especial] charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways [of obedience and service].
12 They shall bear you up on their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.
13 You shall tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the serpent shall you trample underfoot.
14 Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knows and understands My name [has a personal knowledge of My mercy, love, and kindness—trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never forsake him, no, never].
15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him and show him My salvation.
The movie was called “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2.” This movie is so prophetic. There are so many levels in it. I was so beyond words grateful, to see through HIS eyes. First of all, the original film, was about an inventor. This kid, lost his mom at a young age, and had a strained relationship with his dad. He was always wanting to do something to stand out, to be seen as accepted and special.
THIS reminded me so much of Noah’s ark. Even with the water receding on the land, and also the BOAT that took them to the island. I loved the parallels, even the ones that were related to evil, had purpose and a teaching. ~
How many of us are like this kid? I know as a child, I absolutely was. I was constantly striving to be something, not knowing that I already WAS. A child of GOD is so unique and precious. But, the enemy worked hard to show me otherwise. To make me feel like I was nothing, worse than dirt on the ground, or gum on a shoe. God says, “when I was a child I thought, like a child. But then I became a man and put away childish ways.” The awesomeness of God is that scripture is also about the child healing. Ultimately it is about receiving the mind of Christ and the LOVE of GOD.
This second film, picks up where the first left off. There are flashbacks to the “disaster” that happened in the first one. Then, the movie picks up where clean up of the land is needed. Isn’t THIS where we are spiritually? God is cleaning up HIS LAND. Look around us? People are so convinced that this is perilous times. But, it is the precursor to that. The perilous times are coming yes, but they are not here yet.
It is interesting that the original invention, shot food up into the clouds. Then the food came down like rain. This reminded me of prayers. Many feel they go up into the clouds. I personally have seen them in the atmosphere. GLORIOUS….like BOREALIS. But, when we have too much food overload, storms can ensue. God will either calm the storm, or us, or both in some cases. This storm also can happen in other areas of our lives. GOD wants balance. He demands and commands it. He does not want us eating “fast” food ALL the time. This is true physically with natural food, and also with supernatural food. He also does not want us giving power to the natural foods anymore, because the enemy has cursed many of them, and we cannot receive that. Our job is to reject the curses, NOT to embrace them. HE does this through us.
Even this film was a type of food. Our family always prays asking GOD to bless our food and water, because we love and worship HIM. He never fails in this.This is true physically and spiritually. He is faithful. We have no food allergies, and divine health. This is available to ALL of us, ready to receive. In this movie, the machine landed in water. It was like it was baptized. When this happened it began making food differently. The food became like animals. Plus, they were loving animals, filled with so much JOY!!! My favorite was the strawberry. I LOVE how the fruit was so beautiful and full of joy. 🙂 So guess what happens then?
There was a man who played the nemesis, and the villain, and my husband pointed something out to me. He said, “that man was so obviously a knock off of Steve Jobs.” Now, pretty much everyone knows who that is, but I did not see what my husband saw. Though after he pointed it out, it so made sense. Even the monkey’s name being Steve was related to that. This man in the natural was an innovator and in lots of way an idol, that fell, even unto death. He left a legacy behind. But is it a good legacy? The film did a great job of showing what happened to him.
Without giving away the whole thing, will say, there was a lot of deception. God even had us praying while watching over the people in the theater. Not to mention, using the prayers to also cover others who had seen it or would see it. LOVE how our GOD covers us! Thankfully unto HIM, before going to see the film, I had a heads up. A dear sister shared that, though it looked like something awful was happening, watch what comes next. Also, found out we were the 3rd family sent on that day to see the film. This said to me, “God is up to something.” Because 3 is the BIBLICAL number of the GLORY of GOD!!!
This picture was taken recently, by another beautiful sister. Our sister Susan said we could share. God’s GLORY is so evident here. But, can u also see the nastiness lurking? There has always been GOOD and EVIL present, since the fall of man. Thankful to GOD that GOOD always wins. ~
Before the film, we were running errands nearby. There was a strange sensation in the air. I believe it had to do with Halloween. I ask you all that may celebrate this holiday, to prayerfully seek God on this. I know we want to share JOY with the children. That God can use anything, but the time to stop celebrating these things is drawing near, if not already arrived for some. God has a specific plan, and if we do not seek to follow it, well to put it mildly, it won’t go well.
The main point here is this, GOD made promises. He promised to us that GREATER is HE that is in us, than he that is in the world. He also promised to NEVER leave us or FORSAKE us. He promised that He would finish the good wok HE started in us. So many promises, the whole BOOK of the BIBLE is full of HIS promises. Check out HIS promises. Every promise is a blessing, with multiplied blessings attached.
We are told to BLESS and not CURSE. God shows us to hate the evil and NOT the people practicing it or even preaching it. Our job is to let HIM use us, to LOVE the HELL out of them, and for HIM to LOVE the HELL out of us. Sometimes a blessing can be discipline. HE does ALL things from LOVE. Even the wrath of GOD comes from HIS LOVE. If He did not LOVE us, He would leave us to our own devices. Thank GOD He does not make that choice. It might seem like it, but HE never leaves us alone. We must remember that victory is HIS, Therefore, because we are HIS, it is ours as we receive.
We make promises too. We are in Covenant with GOD. The promise that we make is to let HIM move. Are we keeping this promise? Because it is CRITICAL in every sense of the word? Are we daily doing as God commands? Or, are we just sitting idly by, hoping He will move, while we continue to disobey. these promises are NOT small. God wants us anointing the kids, the animals, the houses, electronics like radios, and phones and tv’s, the cars, ourselves, businesses, and anything else He gives us. He wants us in UNITY with Him. He desires communion with us. Are we keeping our promises to God?
When we marry we say “I DO.” I don’t know about you, but when I married God, at age 9, by saying yes, by choosing His ways above ALL else, it was even bigger than my marriage to my spouse. To this day, I see GOD as my spouse first, especially when my spouse is affected or influenced by evil in some way. None of us are immune to that. Myself included, i repent daily for any way I have faltered or ever will, as well for others who have too. Jesus is coming back for a spotless bride. He wants us to be pure in hearts before HIM, to let HIM clean us off everyday of impurities. Are we doing this?
I dreamed about getting married as a child like all kids do, but I also when it was time to get married to David, really had no desire for it. I would have been okay staying single. But, GOD has a bigger plan. He did then and still does. David ad I married too soon. The enemy had a plan to destroy us, in one failed swoop. But, the fact is, GOD had better plans, and they keep unfolding. God has been so very strategic. To this day, this remains something we stand in AWE of.
LONG before marrying our spouse, GOD married us to HIM. ~
He gave us 2 weddings. The third one will be even more spectacular, whenever He brings it. HIS gory will shine. I thank GOD that even with us doing everything backwards, and often in fear, HIS FAITH rose up and met us. It still does, as daily He resurrects our marriage, as a family. The marriage is not just the spouses and GOD. That is a HUGE part of it. But, It is also the FAMILY of GOD. It is time to get back to basics. The basics are that God deserves FULL CREDIT and FULL REIGN in every area of our life. When this happens, the promises will start to blow your mind in a GLORIOUS way.
Right now, sometimes it seems God is going back on His promises. But, HE is NOT….this you can be certain of. The enemy wants us distracted, to stay bewitched, but the fact is, GOD is going to do what HE said He would. HE is and always has been keeping His promises. The more people who say God won’t even those who LOVE you, rebuke the enemies lies, and stand on the promise that NOTHING is impossible for GOD. He will do it!!!!
Some of us feel like taffy we are stretched so far in HIS FAITH, but GOD. He is faithful, and no matter how it appears. We can rejoice and should rejoice in HIM. The promises of GOD are about to explode on the scene!!!! REST assured that the enemy and his cohorts will not be able to mock GOD forever.
They will keep trying harder and harder and as God’s word says it will be to their demise. We simply must praise HIM for the healing, deliverance, and salvation of those who are destined to know and receive the LOVE of GOD. Because, God will be increasing HIS GLORY and it will make what they try to do look small. WATCH GOD. His promises are showing up and he is showing OUT for His beloveds.
Amplified Bible (AMP)
Psalm 37
[A Psalm] of David.
1 Fret not yourself because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness (that which is not upright or in right standing with God).
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
3 Trust (lean on, rely on, and be confident) in the Lord and do good; so shall you dwell in the land and feed surely on His faithfulness, and truly you shall be fed.
4 Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the Lord [roll and repose each care of your load on Him]; trust (lean on, rely on, and be confident) also in Him and He will bring it to pass.
6 And He will make your uprightness and right standing with God go forth as the light, and your justiceand right as [the shining sun of] the noonday.
7 Be still and rest in the Lord; wait for Him and patiently lean yourself upon Him; fret not yourself because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass.
8 Cease from anger and forsake wrath; fret not yourself—it tends only to evildoing.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait and hope and look for the Lord [in the end] shall inherit the earth.
10 For yet a little while, and the evildoers will be no more; though you look with care where they used to be, they will not be found.
11 But the meek [in the end] shall inherit the earth and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12 The wicked plot against the [uncompromisingly] righteous (the upright in right standing with God); they gnash at them with their teeth.
13 The Lord laughs at [the wicked], for He sees that their own day [of defeat] is coming.
14 The wicked draw the sword and bend their bows to cast down the poor and needy, to slay those who walk uprightly (blameless in conduct and in conversation).
15 The swords [of the wicked] shall enter their own hearts, and their bows shall be broken.
16 Better is the little that the [uncompromisingly] righteous have than the abundance [of possessions] of many who are wrong and wicked.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but the Lord upholds the [consistently] righteous.
18 The Lord knows the days of the upright and blameless, and their heritage will abide forever.
19 They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil; and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the fat of lambs [that is consumed in smoke] and as the glory of the pastures. They shall vanish; like smoke shall they consume away.
21 The wicked borrow and pay not again [for they may be unable], but the [uncompromisingly] righteous deal kindly and give [for they are able].
22 For such as are blessed of God shall [in the end] inherit the earth, but they that are cursed of Him shall be cut off.
23 The steps of a [good] man are directed and established by the Lord when He delights in his way [and He busies Himself with his every step].
24 Though he falls, he shall not be utterly cast down, for the Lord grasps his hand in support andupholds him.
25 I have been young and now am old, yet have I not seen the [uncompromisingly] righteous forsaken or their seed begging bread.
26 All day long they are merciful and deal graciously; they lend, and their offspring are blessed.
27 Depart from evil and do good; and you will dwell forever [securely].
28 For the Lord delights in justice and forsakes not His saints; they are preserved forever, but the offspring of the wicked [in time] shall be cut off.
29 [Then] the [consistently] righteous shall inherit the land and dwell upon it forever.
30 The mouth of the [uncompromisingly] righteous utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks with justice.
31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
32 The wicked lie in wait for the [uncompromisingly] righteous and seek to put them to death.
33 The Lord will not leave them in their hands, or [suffer them to] condemn them when they are judged.
34 Wait for and expect the Lord and keep and heed His way, and He will exalt you to inherit the land; [in the end] when the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.
35 I have seen a wicked man in great power and spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil,
36 Yet he passed away, and behold, he was not; yes, I sought and inquired for him, but he could not be found.
37 Mark the blameless man and behold the upright, for there is a happy end for the man of peace.
38 As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together; in the end the wicked shall be cut off.
39 But the salvation of the [consistently] righteous is of the Lord; He is their Refuge and secure Stronghold in the time of trouble.
40 And the Lord helps them and delivers them; He delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they trust and take refuge in Him.
This is another link that lists many more promises of God. ~
We repent LORD for anytime we have directly, or indirectly rejected your promises. Forgive us, and FORGIVE through us. We choose to RECEIVE them this day. We command the enemy to stand down from the children of GOD, in JESUS name, for ALL ready to walk in the FREEDOM of Christ, along HIS GLORY ROAD. We pray this in the BLOOD of JESUS, IJN AMEN.
I was so not planning to write today. But Father said, “I have need of thee.” SO, here we go. LORD, do this through me. IJN. He put on my heart and in my spirit to speak about UNWAVERING FAITH. First we will have HIM define what unwavering means. Because when I think of a waiver it means to wave through. For example, a child can have a waiver saying, NO VACCINES. Hopefully you guys are understanding this, by His Grace. It is deep.
This is subject matter that is meat and vegetables. GOD says we cannot flip back and forth between believing and unbelieving. WE either DO at the CORE, or we DON’T. It cannot be self reflection, it has to be HIS reflection!!!! ~
So wavering would in turn be the opposite. GOD wants US FIXED in HIM. Meaning, He wants us fastened unto HIM. Just as Jesus, the son of GOD is part of the Father and part of the Holy Spirit, so we should be as well. When JESUS walked the earth, HE was just like us. YET, because of the plan that Father had, HE never sinned. JESUS’s gaze never left the FATHER. HIS eyes were fixed on HIM, with UNWAVERING FAITH.
This morning, my AGH (Awesome Godly Husband) David went to our child’s school to get a waiver regarding health. We are being led to get a new social security card for her, because years ago, she was adopted, and now needs a new card. Anyway, THAT waiver cause them to understand that she is healthy and whole. It also gives her FAVOR.
GOD gives us a waiver too. It is HIS GRACE and FAVOR. IT is HIS FAITH that we lean on. He is OMNIPOTENT and knows ALL outcomes. We must TRUST in HIS ways, because in the time we are rapidly approaching, ALL else will FAIL and FADE and lead to disaster.
IF we are wavering or have been wavering, we must repent before GOD. We do partner with GOD, by saying YES. However, HE does all the work. FAITH without HIM 100% doing it, fails, and is dead. BUT, when we surrender to HIM, and ask HIM to overtake us in HIS ways and purposes, HE succeeds. He resurrects it!!!
This morning, we were ALL tired. This has been a season of LOTS of spiritual warfare. If you do not know what that is, it is definitely time to learn. The church as a whole, has been affected by the spirit of avoidance. We cannot count on both hands, how any churches do not even offer spiritual warfare insights, or classes. How else will we learn or others learn to work in UNITY in HIM without instruction?
The enemy tried to mess with us, but GOD. We all came together, and each of us repented from a place of sincerity, and GOD moved. IT is awesome because when we do this, HE moves from a place of LOVE ALWAYS. Even the discipline that comes is from HIS LOVE. Even HIS wrath, comes from HIS LOVE.
THIS is a GREAT study…..LOVE GOD in this brother of ours 🙂
He also has given great wisdom about how to be prepared while in BATTLE. We often git hit most when we are at a HALTE.
H- HUNGRY (both for the word of GOD or for food in the natural)
A- ANGRY (secondary emotion-seek the root)
L- Lonely (loneliness can be a spirit and emotion)
T- Tired (Warfare happens a lot at night)
E- Exhausted (Barely able to speak or move)
The first 4 came from Charles Stanley as God showed him. The 5th one was given to us, pertaining to our On the JOB Training, or OJT.
Being really transparent here, we have wavered before. In fact, a few times. BUT GOD. Thankful for HIS Grace, and the choice as well as honor to come before HIM with pure hearts, asking forgiveness and repenting. He is a beautiful GOD.
LORD, we thank you for instilling in us as well as resurrecting your UNWAVERING FAITH. Posses us GOD, so that your perfect will and Holy Plan will manifest from HEAVEN unto EARTH. We LOVE YOU LORD!!! IJN AMEN
