WE WILL SEE

2020-vision images missionweb vision-vs-mission-1-728

All we can do is LOVE. That is what it comes down to. It is our first and only assignment. Sometimes LOVING is hard, and it feels impossible. But, when we ask GOD to do it, it is not. There are also times when loving has to be done from a distance. This is why discernment is key. Remember that the woman was gifted FAITH from the heart and the man was gifted discernment. What is interesting is BOTH take faith. It is one of the reasons that God chose man and woman for each other. He made woman from man. We are connected for a reason. Our core connection must be GOD.

I woke up after a long nap today. I had planned to go back to sleep. But GOD. So, here I am. My heart hurts for this world. I so long for home. NOT just because I have people I LOVE there. But, so much MORE than that. I LONG for people to SEE. I have such a desire for HIS GLORY to be shone upon this earth. For people to be set free from the seeming HELL it has been becoming.

Also, HOME, just to clarify, is not just the place where the hospital I was born is. It is a reference to HEAVEN. It seems like more every day, I disconnect from THIS world. I find myself wondering. How can I relate to others, if I am more connected to Heaven? Yet, JESUS stayed connected to Heaven. In fact, how He stayed pure was through that holy connection.

It is so hard to LIVE in THIS world and not be of it. But, here we are. So, we put one foot in front of the other, and keep on walking. We stand on the promises of God, eventhough we get blocked, mocked, and persecuted. There is a time coming when people will wake up. I wonder if it will be too late? I wonder how many chances God is going to give. I know some have already run out of chances.  Others, have been released from this world, from the mercy and LOVE of God.

This world seems upside down. Yet, we praise HIM anyway. Evil is often seemingly praised, because people either don’t know the truth or do not care. It is hard not to get disillusioned. But God. The only WAY to stay focused is to stay focused on HIM. Not for ourselves, NOT to honor us. But, simply because LOVING and worshiping God honors HIM. Staying focused on HEAVENLY things honors HIM.

There are many in leadership positions saying, do it for you. But, the TRUTH is that is NOT why we exist. It is NOT, nor will it ever be for or about us. BUT, it is about HIS LOVE for us. Please be clear that LOVE, that pure HEAVENLY LOVE will conquer evil, every single time. Because GOD never fails, and neither does HIS LOVE.

I am the first to admit how human I feel. I would like to just skip that part of the journey sometimes. But, it was in Jesus’s humanity that He began to connect more with others. I can so relate to things feeling foreign. Can’t you? If not, I would ask this. Are you too comfortable in the discomfort? I lived that way for years. David calls it trapped. In our marriage early on, He would say that was how he felt. But, it was not about the marriage itself. It was more about where HE was with God.

Now, we both understand that. In fact, more every day we have a reminder of what God is doing behind the scenes. We have a new Heavenly connection. You can believe it or not. David and I are coming to a place where how people react, is not our concern anymore. At least, in regards to us and our family. It comes down to this. Soon, the GLORY will be formed, and everyone will see HIS TRUTH.

SEEING this MORE every single day….

Often God will have me begin something. But, I won’t get to end it or even at times start it when I would like. My husband was mentioning that He has no idea how certain things can happen. He was talking about basic things. Like, how bills will get paid if something does not move out of the way. But, here is the answer, GOD. When we surrender the concerns, questions and thoughts to GOD, He handles it. We are learning to daily repent before HIM and ask HIM to strip anything in the way of HIS GLORY. Life is so much more peaceful, when it is done HIS way.

I read recently that we limit God a lot as humans, and as HIS kids. God is a patient and kind God, up to a point. I don’t disagree with that. I would also say, the limitations happen by lack of faith. However here is my thought, can God stay limited? I believe the answer is NO. He has accounted for even the attack attempts by the enemy. I have seen HIM get impatient. Because, that doesn’t show a lack of LOVE, but more a LOVE that is REAL. He feels what we feel. The difference is HIS plan is not simply based on our feelings or emotions. Thank GOD for that. 😉

This post is about SEEING. What are we seeing? I was woken up this morning earlier than expected. Today begins a new chapter of sorts. It is exciting, like the first day at a new school. I wanted to sleep more, and asked God if I could. He firmly but lovingly said, “I need you up.” So, up I am. 🙂 I started to dissect that. Sometimes the most simple thing can be so profound. He needs me alert, active and encouraging. He needs me to lovingly receive correction, changes and growth. So, how am I seeing God move?

John 14 Amplified Bible (AMP)

14 Do not let your hearts be troubled (distressed, agitated). You believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely on God; believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely also on Me.

In My Father’s house there are many dwelling places (homes). If it were not so, I would have told you; for I am going away to prepare a place for you.

And when (if) I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and will take you to Myself, that where I am you may be also.

And [to the place] where I am going, you know the way.

Thomas said to Him, Lord, we do not know where You are going, so how can we know the way?

Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me.

If you had known Me [had learned to recognize Me], you would also have known My Father. From now on, you know Him and have seen Him.

Philip said to Him, Lord, show us the Father [cause us to see the Father—that is all we ask]; then we shall be satisfied.

Jesus replied, Have I been with all of you for so long a time, and do you not recognizeand know Me yet, Philip? Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say then, Show us the Father?

10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in Me? What I am telling you I do not say on My own authority and of My own accord; but the Father Who lives continually in Me does the ([a]His) works (His own miracles, deeds of power).

11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me; or else believe Me for the sake of the [very] works themselves. [If you cannot trust Me, at least let these works that I do in My Father’s name convince you.]

12 I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone steadfastly believes in Me, he will himself be able to do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these, because I go to the Father.

13 And I will do [I Myself will grant] whatever you ask in My Name [as [b]presenting all that I Am], so that the Father may be glorified and extolled in (through) the Son.

14 [Yes] I will grant [I Myself will do for you] whatever you shall ask in My Name [as[c]presenting all that I Am].

15 If you [really] love Me, you will keep (obey) My commands.

16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever—

17 The Spirit of Truth, Whom the world cannot receive (welcome, take to its heart), because it does not see Him or know and recognize Him. But you know and recognize Him, for He lives with you [constantly] and will be in you.

18 I will not leave you as orphans [comfortless, desolate, bereaved, forlorn, helpless]; I will come [back] to you.

19 Just a little while now, and the world will not see Me any more, but you will see Me; because I live, you will live also.

20 At that time [when that day comes] you will know [for yourselves] that I am in My Father, and you [are] in Me, and I [am] in you.

21 The person who has My commands and keeps them is the one who [really] loves Me; and whoever [really] loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I [too] will love him and will show (reveal, manifest) Myself to him. [I will let Myself be clearly seen by him and make Myself real to him.]

22 Judas, not Iscariot, asked Him, Lord, how is it that You will reveal Yourself [make Yourself real] to us and not to the world?

23 Jesus answered, If a person [really] loves Me, he will keep My word [obey My teaching]; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home (abode, special dwelling place) with him.

24 Anyone who does not [really] love Me does not observe and obey My teaching. And the teaching which you hear and heed is not Mine, but [comes] from the Father Who sent Me.

25 I have told you these things while I am still with you.

26 But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you.

27 Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]

28 You heard Me tell you, I am going away and I am coming [back] to you. If you [really] loved Me, you would have been glad, because I am going to the Father; for the Father is greater and mightier than I am.

29 And now I have told you [this] before it occurs, so that when it does take place you may believe and have faith in and rely on Me.

30 I will not talk with you much more, for the prince (evil genius, ruler) of the world is coming. And he has no claim on Me. [He has nothing in common with Me; there is nothing in Me that belongs to him, and he has no power over Me.]

31 But [[d]Satan is coming and] I do as the Father has commanded Me, so that the world may know (be convinced) that I love the Father and that I do only what the Father has instructed Me to do. [I act in full agreement with His orders.] Rise, let us go away from here.

In this world we will have tribulation. But, take heart, because I have overcome the world. This scripture was just resonating in my spirit today. I am seeing GOD light a fire under HIS kids. I am seeing more than not, wanting to help find a solution, rather than a soullution. I am seeing that GOD is bringing Heaven, and as He promised, at first it might feel or look like Hell. I encourage you to praise GOD. In fact, I ask you to not only praise HIM, but also to repent for any places you may be faltering.

I want to meet people where they are yes. But, here is the thing. Jesus sometimes offended people. He did not purposely do so. In fact, He tried to make ammends most of the time. But, the TRUTH can be offensive sometimes. Offences happened simply just because they did not agree or like, what He said. Why did they not like it? Well, because they could not see the truth. Most people who get offended, do so because of hurts. They want to control a situation, that is likely OUT of their control. I know, I have so been there. You can give into something, to please man. Or, you can stand your ground to please GOD. It really is your choice. What do you want to see? Is it the TRUTH or a LIE?

People focus on that GOD is LOVE. But, the problem is they don’t want to acknowledge and be held accountable for the hidden hate they may have within. Yes, GOD is LOVE. Love is not just an emotion. It is a beautiful spirit. But, when misunderstood, it can actually be a tool of deception. GOD isn’t to be a tool of deception, more so, the emotions can be. Remember, the power the enemy has is only that manipulated from the things of GOD.

So, what we need to SEE is God’s kids taking that power back. GOD is doing it through HIS COGS. For years, we were used to minister to people heavily involved in evil. I mean, the kind who purposely curse others, and when they don’t get what they want, they try to kill, steal and destroy. We still minister in some ways to these people. But, now we have more balance. There was a time where we would seek them out. Boy did we learn a lot in that season. What has been ODD is, even when focusing more on the wounded in the BODY of Christ, these other people find us. Here is why, it is very simple. GOD wants them to. We could be their last chance.

We have to begin to SEE through the eyes of JESUS. Yes, He is the son of GOD, but not as the world SEES HIM, because that has many flaws. Soon, the antichrist will show up. There are already hidden things that are of him. Have you read the word of God? Do you know the truth? Because if you do NOT know the TRUTH, how can the LIES be revealed?

I remember asking the Heavenly Father to connect me to HIS son. I felt lost from HIM. There is a specific reason I felt this way. I will explain that more in another post. But, suffice it to say, I was very unkind to my body. I did ask for forgiveness for this. I however, always felt protected by the Father. Looking back, I suppose that is because I felt protected by my own father. He was not a perfect dad, but he loved the LORD. So, did my mother. They just did not know how to receive HIS LOVE as much while one earth. But, my dad inspired me. Here is why He inspired me, because He touched people. More to the point, JESUS in HIM touched people.

This is also true about my mother. God used her to LOVE the hell out of so many. She had a shorter life span, because she was not prepared for how to deal with that HELL when it came out. But GOD. The TRUTH is very simple. WE are LOVED by God. He gifts us with many things. These gifts are to be treasured, yet NEVER but above God.

Here is why. It is very simple. When something gets put above God, it becomes a blockage. It becomes a hindrance, and indirectly a little god. God does not share the FULLNESS of HIS GLORY. But, He does share HIS kids. What a treasure they are! Yesterday, I saw a post for a child who no one wanted. Immediately, my heart ached for this child. This beautiful spirit, trapped in this world, without someone to love him. Jesus felt that and still FEELS it for ALL of us. HIS compassion is REAL. HIS LOVE is pure. Now, to clarify, this JESUS, is the one of NAZARETH. There is only ONE who is the GOD of LOVE.

So what are you seeing? Are you seeing evil take over? Are you SEEING your FEARS come to light? We have before. But, an author recently put it this way. If your worst fear happens, then GOD. Because there is no fear in LOVE. His perfect LOVE casts out fear. So, even if the worst happens, it will NOT destroy you, as long as you stay focused on HIM.

We are living proof. I pray that others see the fruit of GOD in our lives. That doesn’t mean that they will love us necessarily. But, as long as God does, what the others think does not matter. I do hope that my loved ones who have gone to paradise, smile at what God is doing. I believe they do. Though, I also know that the REAL work begins from Heaven. I am thankful, grateful and joyful to be still here running the race. We press on. We SEE more, and we await each day with expectation of GLORY falling down. May only HIS Glory shine.

Take time to SEE as God sees. Enjoy HIS view. It won’t always be pretty at first, but it becomes GLORIOUS. Let God show you how HE sees you. The good, bad, and the ugly. God sees us as what we CAN be and what we ARE in HIM. So, when He points out what we see as flaws, it doesn’t seem so bad.

EXIT THIS WAY

The other day we were invited to a healing service. This service was not like a typical one we had experienced. It was mostly a service of God’s encouragement. It consisted of 32 people, including the speaker and his wife. Which is interesting to me, because 32 is the Biblical number of Covenant. Our pastor has been doing a series on Covenant Keepers. The man who spoke at this service is an active Evangelist. He has studied under Oral Roberts. He shared the testimony that God has gifted to him and his wife.

This woman and her husband have an incredible story. She has had strokes that by all medical standards, should have left her for dead. But God. His work is not finished through her. What a beautiful heart she has. Our family is coming along side them through prayer. Because God says, we are ALL one body. We were also led to plant a missions seed in the family as well. God has brought such deep healing in this couple, and there is so much more to come. Humbling to hear about and even more to experience first hand.

He told a story of a woman who came into a healing revival once. This woman came with her sons. The children were not believers, and were truly not wanting to be there. However, they honored the mom’s wishes. Because, they knew the importance. The mother was dying. She had the late stages of diabetes. She was blind, her feet were black, and it was just a mess.

The kids waited till everyone left, in fact, had they waited any longer, who knows. But GOD. The evangelist, and teacher was there, and they came up to him as lights were being turned off. Anyway, the man spit in His hands and asked JESUS to heal this woman. That part if key. This man has no power of HIS own. It is the power of GOD that heals. By the grace and GLORY of GOD, this woman could then see. The first thing she saw was the word EXIT.

As the man was sharing this story, I thought, wow. Because I could see just how prophetic it is that she can see the EXIT sign. I mean, it was the first thing she saw, literally. However, GOD was showing her something too. He was showing her that HIS LOVE and healing power is the exit from this world. So, as this story was being shared, I was given the title for this blog.

I’m happy to say her sons chose GOD. They did not just get saved, they could see HIS power by her healing. THIS healing had and has major purpose. Just like our healing. I can see. I need glasses because of various reasons. However, I am believing GOD to increase my eyes spiritually so much, and those of the children and my husband, that WE can see 100%. It will be better than 20/20. It will be HEAVENLY vision.

It has been years since we have been ill. It does not mean we do NOT endure. But, WE know which way the exit is. It is ONLY one way and HIS name is JESUS. We stand not in religion, but by FAITH and confidence in GOD alone. That, we, nor anyone else can mess up the plan that God has ordained. It was orchestrated, long before WE even existed. WE are daily coming out of agreement with the enemy, with wounds and pain. We freely forgive and give by FAITH that GOD will provide more. Our heart is HIS heart, in union with the one who created us.

Today is the 19th, which Biblically represents faith. We stand in FAITH, once again, knowing IT is finished. THAT, what HE desires will come to pass. HIS time and HIS way. I had someone tell me to let our child go. I thought, and actually said aloud, “I have.” I went to God because this was disturbing me. The LORD said, “Not only have you let her go, you do so daily. You  and David knew I needed my angel back for more. So did she. You accept it, even when it hurts. Thank you my daughter for your obedient heart. I Love you.”

I repented for getting or even feeling defensive. Thank GOD for HIS Grace. Because, His promises are certain. Because He deserves us to be purified daily. God doesn’t count sins. He doesn’t look at one person and compare their walk to another. To HIM, we all are important and jewels, even the darkest and most disobedient children. He still LOVES them all. I chose and choose to forgive myself. I was led to pray that the BODY of Christ receive the gift of unconditional surrender. If God is a GOD who is unconditional in HIS LOVE, should we not be as well?

Our butterfly is used by GOD to give us messages. They are heavenly and beautiful. It is an honor to receive them. One message that was given is this. “Strange things are going to be happening. But, they must happen. Even though they may look strange to us, they are God’s will. We must let them happen. God has proven that HE can be trusted. IT is critical to surrender to HIM and HIS ways. He will do just as He said HE would. It will happen in HIS time and HIS way.” God is proud of HIS children who are seeking HIS ways. He still loves those who are not, but there will be judgement that falls. It is already being carried out. People cannot continue choosing FEAR over FAITH with no consequence.

So are you exiting through FEAR or FAITH? Because, right now is the time to decide. WE speak the mind of Christ over you. Even the unbelievers deserve a chance to get free. God is a GOD of second chances. Years ago, I watched a movie called, “Hope Floats.” I remember seeing it with friends from college. There was a line that really stood out to me. “It is the worst thing the way you spend your chances. You just think there is another than another.” Shortly after the mother said this, “She passed away.” Such wisdom hidden in a film. We cannot keep expecting that more chances are coming. Eventually, they won’t.

So, which way is the exit? THIS song was in my spirit strong today. I cannot hear it without praising HIM.

I Lay my Life down at Your feet
Cuz’ Your the only one i need
i turn to You and You are always there

in troubled times its You i seek
i put You first thats all i need
i humble all i am, all to You

(chorus)

One way
Jesus
You’re the only one that i could Live for
One Way
Jesus
You’re the only one that i could Live for

You are always, aLways there
Every how and everywhere
Your grace abounds so deeply within me

You wiLL never ever change
Yesterday today the same
Forever till forever meets no end

(chorus)

One way
Jesus
You’re the onLy one that i couLd Live for
One Way
Jesus
You’re the onLy one that i couLd Live for (x4)

You are the way the truth and the Life
We Live by faith and not by sight for You
We’re Living aLL for You (x4)

(chorus)

one way
jesus
you’re the only one that i could live for (x4)

This song is a song that our butterfly LOVES to sing. I’m sure, even now she sings it. I can see her dancing and singing and twirling. There is only ONE exit from this world. HIS name is JESUS. He leads us to the Heavenly Father and the Holy Spirit. For those who think otherwise, the time is coming quickly for them to know the truth, one last time. God’s will is that NO ONE will perish, but He gave us a choice. It is a simple decision. Choose to let GO and release ALL that may bind you. Be that pain, unforgiveness, anger, hurt, joylessness, bitterness, resentment, family wars, broken relationships. Give it ALL to HIM and say, “I’m sorry.” He will so honor that heart. We are proof.

It does not take a religious spirit. It DOES take a heart for an 100% confidence in GOD. For, God can do miracles when HIS purpose is needed, in season and out of them. He LOVES to surprise HIS babies. But, we cannot receive if we have blockages in the way. So many reject God, and choose not to believe because there is no evidence that pleases them. Yet, the evidence has already happened. Jesus died on a cross in Calvary. He endured and still does, taking on ALL evil that could stop the plans of the Heavenly Father. Every day that we live, HE lives in us.

If no one else received a tangible miracle, THAT should be enough. But, because GOD is a great GOD, He gifted us with so much more. He gifted us with ALL the wonder, and awe and grace, mercy, peace, hope, endurance, LOVE, JOY, faith, trust and HOLY discernment that is needed for survival and thrival in this word. Are you choosing each day to open HIS gifts? His word, His LOVE, His music, His provision; just a few of the never ending and unfailing gifts.

God never changes. HIS LOVE causes us to endure and be sustained. He gave us change, as a gift.  It is part of being transformed into HIS image. It is often NOT an easy thing to go through. But, as we unconditionally surrender it to GOD, HIS desires take root. Often this happens at first, without us even knowing how much. But, eventually the FRUIT becomes known and revealed. One way or another WE all have fruit.

So, if you saw an EXIT sign, what would that mean to you? Most would say, a way out. But, what if it wasn’t? What if it was a trap? It is time to discern my friends. Time to lay it ALL down. Because, If we are wounded and not healed ourselves, it does not matter how many miracles we are used to bring to life. The fruit must be present within us. Because if not the JOY will not be sustained.

Lord, forgive us for any pride, even the pride of thinking we are not needed, or may be the only one who can do something. WE surrender ALL to you THIS day by FAITH and confidence in you. The fire is falling down. Heaven is invading now. Come, Lord Jesus come. We thank you Lion of Judah for roaring on our behalf. We praise you mighty GOD. We sincerely say, “I’m sorry.” Because we know sometimes we can temporarily get in the way. Thank you for fighting for your babies, and winning. What an honor it is to be your child. In Jesus name and Holy Blood, Amen.

When I was awoken around 4am today, my body was feeling tired. I could have rolled back over and went back to bed. But, I know the gentle prompting of God that does not stop. 4 is Biblically, creative miracles in the earth. Sometimes Miracles don’t look as we would expect. But, they happen ALL the time. Yesterday, God had someone pay 2 bills for us. Was that a miracle? YES. Yesterday we woke up and made it through another day. Was that a miracle? YES. Today, in one more day that WE live and breath and are the healthiest WE have ever been. Is that a miracle? YES. Do we see death around sometimes, YES. But, does it stop the plans of GOD. NO. Is that a miracle? YES.

Every time WE share our testimony, God sends butterflies to visit us. Or, He sends animals to visit us, and they are smiling and happy. It reminds us that our beautiful Sarah Elizabeth is smiling and happy too. That brings us such JOY. It is truly indescribable. Again, we praise GOD not for the death, but because as always HE has overcome it. If people do not understand, all we can do is ask  GOD to show them. Our job is to LOVE anyway. It is to forgive, and speak blessings over those who speak ill of us. Lord, have your way alone. Bring chances for exit, before ALL chances stop.

That same day of the healing service something happened. My husband had gone to church that morning. For various reasons, I was led to stay home and rest. A little boy who was about 5 years old came up to David. He said simply, ” Hi Jesus.” It was beautiful to hear and to experience this. This child could see GOD in my husband. What a beautiful gift. He is the way, the truth, and the life, JESUS. My husband is doing a beautiful job of letting HIM shine through the vessel in which HE resides. His holy temple is commited to JESUS’s ways. Our daughter Sarah Elizabeth reconnected us to the one who LIGHTS the path. He is our brother, our savior and friend. His name is JESUS Christ of Nazareth. Yeshua.

I looked up the definition for miracle and found this…

~  An extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairs. Also,  an extremely outstanding or unusual event, thing, or accomplishment. ~

Is it unusual for GOD to move in our lives, well no, but ONLY because WE allow HIM to have FULL ACCESS. We come into agreement 100% to be married to GOD. Every day we affirm that GOD has divorced us from the enemy. We should come to a place where seeing miracles is NOT unusual. But, some never get there while on earth. What a gift that we can and do. 

So, let’s look at EXIT defined.

Origin of EXIT

Latin, he goes out, from exire to go out, from ex- + ire to go — more at issue

First Known Use: 1538

2exit

noun

: something (such as a door) that is used as a way to go out of a place

: the act of going out or away from something

: the act of leaving a situation, competition, etc.

Full Definition of EXIT

1
[1exit] :  a departure from a stage
2
a :  the act of going out or away <made an early exit>

b :  death

3
:  a way out of an enclosed place or space
4
:  one of the designated points of departure from an expressway.
My favorite definition is number 3. A WAY OUT. There is only one WAY out and THAT is to go through. Are you willing to endure to the END?

The last sign is a warning that ANY way other than JESUS won’t work. ~
So many are talking about this country. In fact, some are putting their own emotions in and calling it fact, or even of GOD. But, here is the fact that WE must remember. GOD is not through with America. Yes, the idol will fall, there is no question about this. HIS Judgement has begun. But be NOT afraid, and praise GOD that HIS words are true. They are not meant to harm but to heal, correct and instruct. Things are NOT always as they seem. There are places where it appears access is still granted. Yet, God has cut if off completely. It is time to ask GOD. Even unbelievers can do this. Because WE LOVE because He first loved us. There is still a chance to choose. Don’t waste the chance. Lives depend on you saying YES.

1 John 2 Amplified Bible (AMP)

My little children, I write you these things so that you may not violate God’s law andsin. But if anyone should sin, we have an Advocate (One Who will intercede for us) with the Father—[it is] Jesus Christ [the all] righteous [upright, just, Who conforms to the Father’s will in every purpose, thought, and action].

And He [[a]that same Jesus Himself] is the propitiation (the atoning sacrifice) for our sins, and not for ours alone but also for [the sins of] the whole world.

And this is how we may discern [[b]daily, by experience] that we are coming to know Him [to perceive, recognize, understand, and become better acquainted with Him]: if we keep (bear in mind, observe, practice) His teachings (precepts, commandments).

Whoever says, I know Him [I perceive, recognize, understand, and am acquainted with Him] but fails to keep and obey His commandments (teachings) is a liar, and the Truth [[c]of the Gospel] is not in him.

But he who keeps (treasures) His Word [who bears in mind His precepts, who observes His message in its entirety], truly in him has the love of and for God been perfected (completed, reached maturity). By this we may perceive (know, recognize, and be sure) that we are in Him:

Whoever says he abides in Him ought [as [d]a personal debt] to walk and conduct himself in the same way in which He walked and conducted Himself.

Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning; the old commandment is the message which you have heard [the [e]doctrine of salvation through Christ].

Yet I am writing you a new commandment, which is true (is realized) in Him and in you, because the darkness ([f]moral blindness) is clearing away and the true Light ([g]the revelation of God in Christ) is already shining.

Whoever says he is in the Light and [yet] hates his brother [Christian, [h]born-again child of God his Father] is in darkness even until now.

10 Whoever loves his brother [believer] abides (lives) in the Light, and in It or in him there is no occasion for stumbling or cause for error or sin.

11 But he who hates (detests, despises) his brother [[i]in Christ] is in darkness and walking (living) in the dark; he is straying and does not perceive or know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

12 I am writing to you, little children, because for His name’s sake your sins are forgiven [pardoned through His name and on account of confessing His name].

13 I am writing to you, fathers, because you have come to know (recognize, be aware of, and understand) Him Who [has existed] from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have been victorious over the wicked [one]. I write to you, [j]boys (lads), because you have come to know (recognize and be aware) of the Father.

14 I write to you, fathers, because you have come to know (recognize, be conscious of, and understand) Him Who [has existed] from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong and vigorous, and the Word of God is [always] abiding in you (in your hearts), and you have been victorious over the wicked one.

15 Do not love or cherish the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in him.

16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh [craving for sensual gratification] and the lust of the eyes [greedy longings of the mind] and the pride of life [assurance in one’s own resources or in the stability of earthly things]—these do not come from the Father but are from the world [itself].

17 And the world passes away and disappears, and with it the forbidden cravings (the passionate desires, the lust) of it; but he who does the will of God and carries out His purposes in his life abides (remains) forever.

18 [k]Boys (lads), it is the last time (hour, the end of this age). And as you have heard that the antichrist [he who will oppose Christ in the guise of Christ] is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen, which confirms our belief that it is the final (the end) time.

19 They went out from our number, but they did not [really] belong to us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us. But [they withdrew] that it might be plain that they all are not of us.

20 But you have been anointed by [you hold a sacred appointment from, you have been given an unction from] the Holy One, and you all know [the Truth] or you know all things.

21 I write to you not because you are ignorant and do not perceive and know the Truth, but because you do perceive and know it, and [know positively] that nothing false (no deception, no lie) is of the Truth.

22 Who is [such a] liar as he who denies that Jesus is the Christ (the Messiah)? He is the antichrist (the antagonist of Christ), who [[l]habitually] denies and refuses to acknowledge the Father and the Son.

23 No one who [[m]habitually] denies (disowns) the Son [n]even has the Father. Whoever confesses (acknowledges and has) the Son has the Father also.

24 As for you, keep in your hearts what you have heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the first dwells and remains in you, then you will dwell in the Son and in the Father [always].

25 And this is what He Himself has promised us—the life, the eternal [life].

26 I write this to you with reference to those who would deceive you [seduce and lead you astray].

27 But as for you, the anointing (the sacred appointment, the unction) which you received from Him abides [[o]permanently] in you; [so] then you have no need that anyone should instruct you. But just as His anointing teaches you concerning everything and is true and is no falsehood, so you must abide in (live in, never depart from) Him [being[p]rooted in Him, knit to Him], just as [His anointing] has taught you [to do].

28 And now, little children, abide (live, remain [q]permanently) in Him, so that when He is made visible, we may have and enjoy perfect confidence (boldness, assurance) and not be ashamed and shrink from Him at His coming.

29 If you know (perceive and are sure) that He [Christ] is [absolutely] righteous [conforming to the Father’s will in purpose, thought, and action], you may also know (be sure) that everyone who does righteously [and is therefore in like manner conformed to the divine will] is born (begotten) of Him [[r]God].

1 John 3 Amplified Bible (AMP)

See what [[a]an incredible] quality of love the Father has given (shown, bestowed on) us, that we should [be permitted to] be named and called and counted the children of God! And so we are! The reason that the world does not know (recognize, acknowledge) us is that it does not know (recognize, acknowledge) Him.

Beloved, we are [even here and] now God’s children; it is not yet disclosed (made clear) what we shall be [hereafter], but we know that when He comes and is manifested, we shall [[b]as God’s children] resemble and be like Him, for we shall see Him [c]just as He [really] is.

And everyone who has this hope [resting] on Him cleanses (purifies) himself just as He is pure (chaste, undefiled, guiltless).

Everyone who commits (practices) sin is guilty of lawlessness; for [that is what] sin is, lawlessness (the breaking, violating of God’s law by transgression or neglect—being unrestrained and unregulated by His commands and His will).

You know that He appeared in visible form and became Man to take away [upon Himself] sins, and in Him there is no sin [[d]essentially and forever].

No one who abides in Him [who lives and remains [e]in communion with and in obedience to Him—deliberately, knowingly, and [f]habitually] commits (practices) sin. No one who [habitually] sins has either seen or known Him [recognized, perceived, or understood Him, or has had an experiential acquaintance with Him].

[g]Boys (lads), let no one deceive and lead you astray. He who practices righteousness [who is upright, conforming to the divine will in purpose, thought, and action, living a consistently conscientious life] is righteous, even as He is righteous.

[But] he who commits sin [who practices evildoing] is of the devil [takes his character from the evil one], for the devil has sinned (violated the divine law) from the beginning. The reason the Son of God was made manifest (visible) was to undo (destroy, loosen, and dissolve) the works the devil [has done].

No one born (begotten) of God [deliberately, knowingly, and [h]habitually] practices sin, for God’s nature abides in him [His principle of life, the divine sperm, remains permanently within him]; and he cannot practice sinning because he is born (begotten) of God.

10 By this it is made clear who take their nature from God and are His children and who take their nature from the devil and are his children: no one who does not practice righteousness [who does not conform to God’s will in purpose, thought, and action] is of God; neither is anyone who does not love his brother (his fellow [i]believer in Christ).

11 For this is the message (the announcement) which you have heard from the first, that we should love one another,

12 [And] not be like Cain who [took his nature and got his motivation] from the evil one and slew his brother. And why did he slay him? Because his deeds (activities, works) were wicked and malicious and his brother’s were righteous (virtuous).

13 Do not be surprised and wonder, brethren, that the world detests and pursues you with hatred.

14 We know that we have passed over out of death into Life by the fact that we love the brethren (our fellow Christians). He who does not love abides (remains, is [j]held and kept continually) in [spiritual] death.

15 Anyone who hates (abominates, detests) his brother [in Christ] is [at heart] a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding ([k]persevering) within him.

16 By this we come to know (progressively to recognize, to perceive, to understand) the [essential] love: that He laid down His [own] life for us; and we ought to lay [our] lives down for [those who are our] brothers [[l]in Him].

17 But if anyone has this world’s goods (resources for sustaining life) and sees his brotherand [m]fellow believer in need, yet closes his heart of compassion against him, how can the love of God live and remain in him?

18 Little children, let us not love [merely] in theory or in speech but in deed and in truth (in practice and in sincerity).

19 By this we shall come to know (perceive, recognize, and understand) that we are of the Truth, and can reassure (quiet, conciliate, and pacify) our hearts in His presence,

20 Whenever our hearts in [[n]tormenting] self-accusation make us feel guilty andcondemn us. [For [o]we are in God’s hands.] For He is above and greater than our consciences (our hearts), and He knows (perceives and understands) everything [nothing is hidden from Him].

21 And, beloved, if our consciences (our hearts) do not accuse us [if they do not make us feel guilty and condemn us], we have confidence (complete assurance and boldness) before God,

22 And we receive from Him whatever we ask, because we [[p]watchfully] obey His orders [observe His suggestions and injunctions, follow His plan for us] and[[q]habitually] practice what is pleasing to Him.

23 And this is His order (His command, His injunction): that we should believe in (put our faith and trust in and adhere to and rely on) the name of His Son Jesus Christ (the Messiah), and that we should love one another, just as He has commanded us.

24 All who keep His commandments [who obey His orders and follow His plan, live and continue to live, to stay and] abide in Him, and He in them. [[r]They let Christ be a home to them and they are the home of Christ.] And by this we know and understand andhave the proof that He [really] lives and makes His home in us: by the [Holy] Spirit Whom He has given us.

1 John 4 Amplified Bible (AMP)

Beloved, do not put faith in every spirit, but prove (test) the spirits to discover whether they proceed from God; for many false prophets have gone forth into the world.

By this you may know (perceive and recognize) the Spirit of God: every spirit which acknowledges and confesses [the fact] that Jesus Christ (the Messiah) [actually] has become man and has come in the flesh is of God [has God for its source];

And every spirit which does not acknowledge and confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh [but would [a]annul, destroy, [b]sever, disunite Him] is not of God [does not proceed from Him]. This [[c]nonconfession] is the [spirit] of the antichrist, [of] which you heard that it was coming, and now it is already in the world.

Little children, you are of God [you belong to Him] and have [already] defeated andovercome them [the agents of the antichrist], because He Who lives in you is greater (mightier) than he who is in the world.

They proceed from the world and are of the world; therefore it is out of the world [its[d]whole economy morally considered] that they speak, and the world listens (pays attention) to them.

We are [children] of God. Whoever is learning to know God [progressively to perceive, recognize, and understand God by observation and experience, and to [e]get an ever-clearer knowledge of Him] listens to us; and he who is not of God does not listen or pay attention to us. By this we know (recognize) the Spirit of Truth and the spirit of error.

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is (springs) from God; and he who loves [his fellowmen] is begotten (born) of God and is coming [progressively] to know andunderstand God [to perceive and recognize and get a better and clearer knowledge of Him].

He who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love.

In this the love of God was made manifest (displayed) where we are concerned: in that God sent His Son, the only begotten or [f]unique [Son], into the world so that we might live through Him.

10 In this is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation (the atoning sacrifice) for our sins.

11 Beloved, if God loved us so [very much], we also ought to love one another.

12 No man has at any time [yet] seen God. But if we love one another, God abides (lives and remains) in us and His love (that love which is essentially His) is brought to completion (to its full maturity, runs its full course, is perfected) in us!

13 By this we come to know (perceive, recognize, and understand) that we abide (live and remain) in Him and He in us: because He has given (imparted) to us of His [Holy] Spirit.

14 And [besides] we ourselves have seen (have deliberately and steadfastly contemplated) and bear witness that the Father has sent the Son [as the] Savior of the world.

15 Anyone who confesses (acknowledges, owns) that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides (lives, makes His home) in him and he [abides, lives, makes his home] in God.

16 And we know (understand, recognize, are conscious of, by observation and by experience) and believe (adhere to and put faith in and rely on) the love God cherishes for us. God is love, and he who dwells and continues in love dwells and continues in God, and God dwells and continues in him.

17 In this [union and communion with Him] love is brought to completion and attains perfection with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him], because as He is, so are we in this world.

18 There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete, perfect) love[g]turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear [h]brings with it the thought of punishment, and [so] he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love [is not yet grown into love’s complete perfection].

19 We love Him, because He first loved us.

20 If anyone says, I love God, and hates (detests, abominates) his brother [[i]in Christ], he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, Whom he has not seen.

21 And this command (charge, order, injunction) we have from Him: that he who loves God shall love his brother [[j]believer] also.

OUT of TIME

You know many of us who believe in GOD, and seek HIM in ALL things are “peculiar or weird” to others. But, to GOD, we are simple. We are HIS KIDS. We are HIS COGS. Jesus, when He walked the earth was slandered and persecuted, even killed. Will we ever be better than our master? The answer is a resounding NO!

Yesterday, a post was made about judgement. The time that was delayed for so very long has COME. We as a nation are out of time. “We are as billions of people, in a valley of decision.” This is a quote from a dear sister of ours. So, THIS day whom will you chose? Will you stand for righteousness? Will you choose the ONE who LOVES you most?

Because, as judgement is showing itself, people are seemingly in pandemonium. There is a break-out of chaos that is obvious. But, look a little bit closer. Then, you can see what GOD is really doing. God is bringing people to their knees. He is, from a place of LOVE, pouring out discipline on His rebellious children who have run away from HIM.

Have they not seen? Have they NOT heard? Do they not know about the LOVE of the everlasting GOD? There are many warnings that have gone out. Yet, people still pretend, stay hard hearted, and continue to defy the commands of God. Who are you? Are you one that obeys or denies and prays against His plans?

It is time that the FALSE mirror be shattered. So, that the TRUTH be revealed. The CLOCK was ticking, and somewhere it still is, but on a different setting. The time that WE did have is GONE. Only GOD can redeem it, resurrect it, and restore what was LOST and sacrificed.

The enemy wants to give us headaches, but are we going to receive them? The enemy wants us to receive shame, but is that a blessing? NO!!!!! This is the LAST Freedom call. We call out to ALL the nations and say repent, because not only is the KINGDOM of Heaven near; it is HERE.

So, which choice will be the one that survives? ONLY the children of GOD will thrive. ~

Judgement has come. It has arrived. Be NOT dismayed when you see it before your eyes. WE come to GOD undone, my spouse and I. Speaking repentance over the LAND. Whatever it takes WE have said. For your GLORY will shine, amidst what looks dead. There is NOTHING that can STOP your LOVE. Not slavery, not FEAR, not Terror, not Tears. Nothing can stop the LOVE of GOD from flowing. If we owe anyone, we owe GOD. I mean, look how faithful HE has been. It’s a debt that cannot be repaid, and He only asks that WE receive that LOVE in return. This is REAL. You will burn. Some of you alive. How many deaths are unknown at the source? How many more, yearn for freedom, know the way and ignore? Can you not feel the heart of God, grieving and mourning as He watches His children suffer? The enemy thinks killing Christians is punishment. But, HOME they go. How is that tragedy? No matter what it looks like, how graphic it seems here, the END is a holy NEW beginning. God is our holy buffer in this world. He won’t relent until HE has ALL of us. So look into your heart, in the places you have avoided so long. He wants a holy legacy to follow you, as you follow HIM. Is your heart darkened, hard before God? Because quite frankly judgement is HERE. There is no time anymore to wait. It is a holy urgency that will NOT disapate. God is NOT dead and soon ALL shall see, just how REAL He is. They will see HIS hand break land, cause wonders to arise and miracles fall from the sky for some. Others who continue to lie, will reap what they have sown. The CLOCK is ticking, and it’s HIS clock. It is TIME. Watch GOD. He will explain the reason and rhyme. He alone will justify, redeem and restore. God’s LOVE is ALL we need, no matter what we see. Because in HIM we will stay hidden and in HIM the holy ones will stay FREE.

No More time – 2014

This is NOT something easy for me to write. Especially if I were to observe the circumstances around while doing so. I’m simply being REAL here. Because the walk that is HIS GLORY road is not one without challenge. BUT, it IS one with great holy rewards. I LOVE that He is rewarded most. To me, THAT is beautiful. My heart aches that we are OUT of time, yet at the same time rejoices, for the TIME of the LORD has arrived. Holy Jubilee. Not what we expected, but definitely what is needed.

In this experience of preparation for this time, I cried hard. In fact at least 37 times, I wept TEARS of blood. Jesus wept through me. The number 37 is biblically the WORD of the FATHER. God knew that it needed to happen ahead of time, so when the actual time came on earth, WE would be calm and ready. Thank GOD for HIS Grace and mercy to walk through the valleys.

God is always creating. In 2009 a book came out that HE penned. I simply sat at the computer and typed. It is interesting to me, that at this time, God also was giving out many words about judgement. The book, “Walking the Line Between God and Satan,” still ministers to me. I read it as lead, because it is in part the story of my life. We need to be reminded how faithful God is. I had a family member mention to me, that they read it as well. Glory to our God.  It truly was and IS a God hug and kiss to hear the response. The person said, “It was loved and that they agreed with every single word.” God can touch and change hearts. Only GOD. I say this only to say one other thing. The choice comes down to FAITH or FEAR. Which will you chose? Today is the day to make that choice.

The LAST WORD….

In 2009 I heard the word of the Lord; it was a word of judgment upon the United States of America. It is a word that I hoped I would never have to deliver; it is a word that God did not want to speak. It has been over four years since I received this word, many times during that four years as I watched America fall deeper and deeper into apostasy, I thought that the Lord surely would call on me to speak this word, but He did not. In July of 2013 the Lord spoke to me and said He wanted me to fast for forty days, a total food fast, and every day He had me pray that America would repent and turn back to Him.
Today, August 11th 2014 He spoke again, He told me that America had not repented and now there was no more time. Then He said: speak the word! Here is that word.

The Lord has called me to call the people of the United States to national repentance.
If the people do not repent as a nation; judgment will come quickly.

The United States of America, a nation founded on, protected by and prospered by God in Heaven, a people that because of their love for God and their placement of Him as head above all things, a nation that God has elevated to the most powerful in the world, has in the last half century fallen to the depths of apostasy. We have fallen so far and so quickly that now there is no restoration possible. Judgment has been determined; the only question that remains is “will we all fall under this judgment? We have allowed ourselves to be led away from God and all the blessings He has given us. No, we as individuals did not write the laws that have brought us to this point, but we did nothing to stop them, we just sat back and did nothing. Because of this we are just as guilty as the ones who sought to take God and our God given unalienable rights away from us. We have become a nation of people that allows our government to govern us and not the other way around as in “we the people, by the people, for the people.”
Now certain judgment has once again been determined on a nation of people as it was in the days of Ezekiel the prophet of God. Judgment will most assuredly fall on this Nation and in fact has already begun. What will we do as a people; will we now turn towards God so that His people can be saved from this judgment? Will we turn to Him with a broken and repentant heart?

Brothers and sisters in Christ, we have been called upon by God to repent and turn back to Him. Sadly only a few have done so. Now judgment is determined and is coming. God has called on me to release the word of judgment that He gave me. It is still not too late to repent and turn back to God. I pray greater numbers will yet come forth and with true repentance turn back to God while there is still time. Here is that word of judgment.

Judgment Upon America

Hear you now the word of The Lord our God in Heaven: The judgment on America has been determined, all of the people who revel in their sins of idolatry, witchcraft, lies, murders seditions, heresies, revellings, adulteries and sexual previsions and the like, judgment is coming and now is here. Woe unto all you shepherds that have led My flock astray and perverted my church and my people, and preached lying words into their ears and their hearts, Woe unto all of you who have taken my people captive and even now plot worse then you have already done, Woe unto the leaders of this nation who have listened to the voice of the evil one and been promised great riches and power. I tell you now that your plot, your greed and your once mighty nation will be blown into the wind like dust. Do you think that I have not seen or that I have not heard? The day is coming and even now is here, that My judgment will fall, turn to me my people fall on your face with tears, repent unto me my children that I might save you from the great and terrible judgment. If you will turn back to Me I will forgive you for I am quick to forgive. If you will not repent, if you harden your hearts, then I to will harden my heart toward you, and you will not be spared from the judgment that I will bestow upon this nation. But I know that your leaders will not repent for they are led of the God of this world who even now is in place with his dark army over this nation’s capital and the dark cloud is rapidly spreading like a cancer of corruption across this once great nation. I know there are still people in this nation who are faithful to Me, people who understand what is happening I have heard their prayers, they have come up to Me in Heaven and I have heard. Your prayers have been heard and Judgment is now coming. I call on that remnant that I have been preparing for this day and say to you, go forth now in My power for the time has come. Repent my children so that you might be spared in the day of My judgment upon this nation, turn back unto Me for my heart is broken. The time of Tribulation will soon begin and all shall soon be known. Thus saith The Lord.

A special thank you to our brother and holy guardian appointed by the KING. We are grateful Philip for the permission to post the word given. Thank GOD for you. ~

But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.

Naked before HIM

Celebrities_Without_Makeup_2 Celebrities_Without_Makeup_3-537x470 Celebrities-without-makeup-20 David-Boreanaz-Stars-Without-Makeup Male-celebs-with-without-beards-part2-10

Was praying about the entry that was next. This morning something came to me, and as quick as that idea came it left. So, I continued seeking GOD about this. I heard clearly, “I want my children naked before me.” Most think that naked means literally without clothes. Except that is only part of the definition. Let’s look at the word defined.

na·ked

 adjective \ˈnā-kəd, especially Southernˈne-kəd\

: not wearing any clothes : not covered by clothing

: not having a usual covering

: not having any decorations

Full Definition of NAKED

1
:  not covered by clothing :  nude
2
:  devoid of customary or natural covering :  bare: as

a :  not enclosed in a scabbard

b :  not provided with a shade

c of a plant or one of its parts :  lacking pubescence or enveloping or subtending parts

d :  lacking foliage or vegetation

e of an animal or one of its parts :  lacking an external covering (as of hair, feathers, or shell)

3
a :  scantily supplied or furnished

b :  lacking embellishment :  unadorned

4
5
:  lacking confirmation or support
6
:  devoid of concealment or disguise
7
:  unaided by any optical device or instrument <the nakedeye>
8
:  not backed by the writer’s ownership of the commodity contract or security.
My favorite definition is the one that says unarmed and defenseless. Here is the reason why this is my favorite; God will NOT harm us. It might not be comfortable but God Himself never brings His children harm. He may permit it, and be sovereign over it, but HE hurts when we do. He takes no pleasure from inflicting pain. He always sees the BIG picture, and considers every single need.
Watching what is happening in the world, we must remember something. Like Isaiah, we must come naked b4 God. Because, if we look at the posts and news in regards to past, recent and future events, without God’s guidance and eyes, we can get deceived. Now, even if that happens, it does not mean we have to stay there. We can choose to seek GOD and HIS LOVE to comfort us and get us out. Essentially, we can hide within God and He will protect us. But, only if we wake up and sincerely say, “I’m sorry Lord.”
So here is the question of the hour. Are you naked before God? Do you lay down emotions, hurts, even passions b4 God? It really is the same question. Have you surrendered to FAITH or FEAR? It is time to ask GOD to do an analysis. If you do it yourself, it can and likely will be manipulated to some degree. But, if you ask GOD to do it, He will. God cannot fail. He can make it look like He does, but HE never ever actually fails.
The world has perverted nakedness. It began first in the garden of Eden. But, this was no surprise to God. He knew what would arrive then and now. Remember the victory, that is gifted by GOD will come through your sincere praise of HIM. It won’t come through praising you, or others. It will not be present because of insincere motives or actions. No matter how it seems, GOD is the ONLY one who can bless without ill intentions, and we cannot do so, unless fastened unto HIM. Really, it is GOD using us to bless and not curse.
I have always felt a need to explain myself. It is kind of a bad habit I have. Thank GOD that He is breaking it off of me. He is teaching me and us, that part of being naked b4 HIM means HE fights. It really is HIS battle and war and NOT ours. Yet, there are so many bringing false teachings saying WE have to fix it. What a crock. Like WE even could fix it. The ONLY one who can get us out of the mess that often WE have created is GOD. Our part is simply to come into agreement and receive the unlocking of the HOLY doors, as well as the unlocking of the unholy ones, so that HIS way and plan can come forth. If Heaven arrives you can bet HELL won’t be far behind. The enemy is a competitive one. Yet, God cares not at all about the desire to compete.
This song came on the radio today…it says so much about our humanity and our heart’s cry. I believe even the most wounded person, who may or may not be seeking HIM has experienced some of this from an emotion stand point. ~
“Steady My Heart”
by: Kari Jobe
Wish it could be easy
Why is life so messy?
Why is pain a part of us?
There are days I feel like
Nothing ever goes right
Sometimes it just hurts so muchBut You’re here
You’re real
I know I can trust You

Even when it hurts
Even when it’s hard
Even when it all just falls apart
I will run to You
‘Cause I know that You are
Lover of my soul
Healer of my scars
You steady my heart [x2]

I’m not gonna worry
I know that You’ve got me
Right inside the palm of your hand
Each and every moment
What’s good and what gets broken
Happens just the way You plan

You are here
You’re real
I know I can trust You

Even when it hurts
Even when it’s hard
Even when it all just falls apart
I will run to You
‘Cause I know that You are
Lover of my soul
Healer of my scars
You steady my heart [x2]

And I will run to You
And find refuge in Your arms
And I will sing to You
‘Cause of everything You are

You steady my heart [x2]

Even when it hurts
Even when it’s hard
Even when it all just falls apart
I will run to You
‘Cause I know that You are
Lover of my soul
Healer of my scars
You steady my heart [x2]

I’m not gonna worry
I know that you’ve got me
Right inside the palm of your hand ~

Pain does not have to stay a part of us…

The pictures for this entry are of some celebrities with no make-up. It is simply so we can observe how much is hidden. Did not want to post actual naked photos. But without make-up is still face naked. 😉
God is not a God of panic, or of confusion. However, it does not mean He isn’t present. He is NOT manic, or illusionary. In this season, He for sure is NOT messing around. He is a GOD of holy strategy, He is a GOD of infinite Heavenly LOVE, He is one who never gives up on us, even when we run away, or attempt to justify us or sins. His heart is designed to fit yours like a GLOVE. Every day a clean slate, beginning again. He sits above us, but will meet us where we are. This day, He is a GOD who is and will fight for HIS children. He makes you a superstar. But, you must be in holy union. We cannot continue just putting up with FEAR. Please hear this child’s plea. Because it gives access that has already been DENIED on the cross. It provides undeserving keys. Don’t you see, have you not heard the truth? Because knowing the lies just brings deception. Knowing HIS TRUTH and word will dispell the lies, and GOD will change the direction. Are you coming disrobed before HIM? Are you still mounted to the world here? Because if you are a friend of God, it will hold no value. Not to say you won’t enjoy life, because holy surrender burns the strife. The holy fire paves the GLORY road. Soon, ALL will be told. Do you believe and receive holy freedom? Or, will you bite for what seems to be ok? Because GOD is overturning the theater, and He is moving HELL out of the way. For the chosen Heavenly elect, eventually there will be respect. Not necessarily for you, but the HOLY God within. The only one who deserves the GLORY is here. Holy Father, Holy Savior, Holy Spirit and friend. Love that never ends, but discipline and judgement that arrives. Listen to the word, so that it can come out by FAITH, and the FEAR will be burned away, by the Lion of Judah’s Fire. Every unholy desire must GO. We LOVE you LORD. Make us whom you desire us to be. We repent for places of faltering, and we lay it at your feet. — feeling Lost in HOLY Worship.

DIVINE INTERVENTION

Divine-Intervention-Wordle divine-intervention_00006579

I know I need to share this. Because, I was made to obey GOD. But, I need to be upfront and tell you, this is tough for me. Thankful for His amazing and unending Grace. It ends for those who are disobedient and blatantly rebellious, but NOT for His faithful ones. I started the post on the 5th. I was suddenly led, after the first two sentences to stop. Then, to pick back up on the 7th. The day of Holy completion.

The ministry for God’s Grace Faces Us, is not solely David and our family’s. It belongs to God. WE have been gifted to steward it. There are many ministries that carry the names of the people who began them. Or, who it appears began them anyway. 😉 Because God is truly sovereign. He is active in ALL things. His hand, whether it looks like it or not, is in everything.

In this healing and deliverance ministry we have battled ourselves. Not just others, and not just the enemy. Instead of laying ourselves down, so that the flesh could be crucified, WE chose to fight what seemed to be self, but also was God. David and I can confess that, and say to you readers, that we did and often do repent for places where we falter. Many people say they do this. But, I urge you to test the fruit. Ask God to Cleanse, Purify and Sanctify you, so that you can SEE through HIS eyes.

It is fascinating to me that the post is called Divine Intervention. That is happening ALL over the place. There are some who came under the covering of God, even recently. They had car accidents, and some have broken things on the car. But, THEY still stand. These people were unharmed. So for those who don’t believe. Can you tell me how that happened? You could say luck, but there really is no such thing. You could say fate, but that is just another word for divine orchestration and intervention. The truth is this; GOD is not dead and HE is fighting for HIS children.

We read Job 41 the other day. If you look at the biblical meaning of 41 it is incredible. This whole chapter is about how GOD fights for us, to the very end. He fights for the children who choose HIM, His ways, and are HIS obedient and faithful ones. It isn’t that He does not fight for those who disobey on purpose. IT is simply different, because God offers help. We do NOT have to take it. We have a choice. But, having tried it both ways to some degree, I can say HIS way is the only way that actually works.

http://www.gods-kingdom-ministries.net/daily-weblogs/2011/10-2011/the-biblical-meaning-of-41-and-42/

I am going to share a testimony. First off, my husband just had his 41st birthday. So this number was already forefront. We have had a few times this year where we “lost” things. In fact, would say that WE have endured a lot of what this world sees as LOSS. However, in the midst God has been bringing healing and refinement. There was a time with the gas company where we endured a lot of persecution. God redeemed the time. David called in to pay the bill. IT was 41 dollars. God took us that day to the job 41 chapter.

Job 41 Amplified Bible (AMP)

41 Can you draw out the leviathan (the crocodile) with a fishhook? Or press down his tongue with a cord?

Can you put a rope into his nose? Or pierce his jaw through with a hook or a spike?

Will he make many supplications to you [begging to be spared]? Will he speak soft words to you [to coax you to treat him kindly]?

Will he make a covenant with you to take him for your servant forever?

Will you play with [the crocodile] as with a bird? Or will you put him on a leash for your maidens?

Will traders bargain over him? Will they divide him up among the merchants?

Can you fill his skin with harpoons? Or his head with fishing spears?

Lay your hand upon him! Remember your battle with him; you will not do [such an ill-advised thing] again!

Behold, the hope of [his assailant] is disappointed; one is cast down even at the sight of him!

10 No one is so fierce [and foolhardy] that he dares to stir up [the crocodile]; who then is he who can stand before Me [the beast’s Creator, or dares to contend with Me]?

11 Who has first given to Me, that I should repay him? Whatever is under the whole heavens is Mine. [Therefore, who can have a claim against God, God Who made the unmastered crocodile?]

12 I will not keep silence concerning his limbs, nor his mighty strength, nor his goodly frame.

13 Who can strip off [the crocodile’s] outer garment? [Who can penetrate his double coat of mail?] Who shall come within his jaws?

14 Who can open the doors of his [lipless] mouth? His [extended jaws and bare] teeth are terrible round about.

15 His scales are [the crocodile’s] pride, [for his back is made of rows of shields] shut up together [as with] a tight seal;

16 One is so near to another that no air can come between them.

17 They are joined one to another; they stick together so that they cannot be separated.

18 His sneezings flash forth light, and his eyes are like the [reddish] eyelids of the dawn.

19 Out of his mouth go burning torches, [and] sparks of fire leap out.

20 Out of his nostrils goes forth smoke, as out of a seething pot over a fire of rushes.

21 His breath kindles coals, and a flame goes forth from his mouth.

22 In [the crocodile’s] neck abides strength, and terror dances before him.

23 The folds of his flesh cleave together; they are firm upon him, and they cannot shake [when he moves].

24 His heart is as firm as a stone, indeed, as solid as a nether millstone.

25 When [the crocodile] raises himself up, the mighty are afraid; because of terror andthe crashing they are beside themselves.

26 Even if one strikes at him with the sword, it cannot get any hold, nor does the spear, the dart, or the javelin.

27 He counts iron as straw and bronze as rotten wood.

28 The arrow cannot make [the crocodile] flee; slingstones are treated by him as stubble.

29 Clubs [also] are counted as stubble; he laughs at the rushing and the rattling of the javelin.

30 His underparts are like sharp pieces of broken pottery; he spreads [grooves like] a threshing sledge upon the mire.

31 He makes the deep boil like a pot; he makes the sea like a [foaming] pot of ointment.

32 [His swift darting] makes a shining track behind him; one would think the deep to be hoary [with foam].

33 Upon earth there is not [the crocodile’s] equal, a creature made without fear and he behaves fearlessly.

34 He looks all mighty [beasts of prey] in the face [without terror]; he is monarch over all the sons of pride. [And now, Job, [a]who are you who dares not arouse the unmastered crocodile, yet who dares resist Me, the beast’s Creator, to My face? Everything under the heavens is Mine; therefore, who can have a claim against God?]

This chapter ends with 34 verses. Biblically 34 is naming of a son. It is God’s way of claiming JOB. He is firm but loving with him. Saying,  “My son, you cannot do my job. Do not even try, you will fail. ” That is not the exact wording, and I am not attempting to reword anything. I am simply sharing what I know. I have this heart knowledge because like Job, He has admonished us like this.

See, brothers and sisters. WE can get influenced by arrogance, pride and even cockiness. Because, we are NOT infallible. Only God is. he alone is the only ONE who is immune to being affected by spirits. So, when we are hidden within HIM, He guards us. The Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, and the Glorious Holy spirit are the shield to block out the effects of the darkness.

We ALL have experienced FEAR. Think about as a child when you were afraid of the dark. You did not know what was there. You may have even had a parent come in and clear out the monsters. But, here is the question that is being posed; Did they? Or, did it just appear that the monsters left. The ONLY one who can clear out spirits is GOD. It is through JESUS that healing takes place.

So, if your parents did not call upon God to do it, it really was not done. For years, this has been an awful pattern. We have been led to share about anointing oil. Our spiritual guardians, a man and His wife that God brought in to basically keep David and I settled and fastened to God, showed us something Heavenly. That OIL, specifically anointing oil is the only tangible weapon that is of HEAVEN. It is gifted to us, as protection, and to honor God. I cannot tell you how many times we have shared with people to use oil. Some do and some don’t. But, those who do, have WAY more peace. We have suggested doing communion with God to others. To do so means complete surrender. God doesn’t mind if it is bread and water. He just wants your hearts all in.

We will not make these suggestions to anyone without doing them ourselves. God deserves honor. I mean LOOK around at ALL He does. It is seemingly easy to spot evil in the world. In fact, many focus on it. But we choose to focus on GOD forming GLORY. Which He absolutely is. Everytime our “logic” that the world has taught us tries to impede the process, God intervenes. You know why? Because WE don’t try and stop HIM.

Some have looked at us, and tried to manipulate what the fruit is. I say to them, “WE forgive you and speak HIS blessings upon you. I urge you to say you are sorry to God. That is what repentance is. It is saying you are sorry and meaning it. IT is having a desire to never ever take that path again.” It is NOT about saying yes to be popular, or telling people that no matter what path you take it’s the same God. It is NOT. That is a lie. There is only ONE path to Heaven. It is through JESUS Christ of Nazareth. Jesus leads us to the Holy Spirit and Heavenly Father. It is holy 3 in one. It is JESUS who was gifted the honor of the human journey. It is HE that we can relate to most. However, as WE surrender ALL, we begin to SEE that it is also the holy union within the 3 that brings us to completion, to a place of holy perfection and divine wisdom and knowledge.

Without FAITH it is impossible to please God. So, what is your FAITH in? Is it in the one who made you? Is it is the fact that you have got things covered? Cause, you don’t and no one else does either. Only GOD can cover you. We can come into agreement with God using us to do so. We have that privilege, because we are COVENANT keepers. Our pastor spoke of THIS very thing on Sunday.

The world appears to be going to “Hell in a handbasket.” But is it? God has a plan. HIS plan will work. Thankfully, no matter what, HE gets His way. There is a HUGE revival hitting the land. We have spoken of Heaven invading earth. This is most definitely happening. Divine intervention is ALL over the place. the windows that seemed open for those choosing other gods, are closing fast. My heart often aches for them. I have been them before, to some degree. But, thank GOD for HIS process. He never took HIS hand off me. He never left me. He wept with me, screamed with me, and watched me bring harm to my body. But, He also was there, when I said “I am sorry. I never meant harm to a soul. Not even to myself. Forgive me mighty God. Create in me a clean heart and renew your spirit, a right spirit within me. Reignite the FIRE for righteousness. Thank you for loving me. “

I am reflecting a lot today. We tell our story, and like when Jesus told HIS, “Some just don’t get it.” But, we rejoice because SOME do. We are grateful every single day. We are experiencing MORE JOY than we ever have. It is NOT because of our circumstances. In fact, if we looked at that, we could just sit and stay in grief and mourning. But, the reason it IS available is because GOD is close to the broken hearted. He holds us and rocks us in HIS beautiful arms of GRACE and MERCY. He knows what has been endured. He knows we speak truth in HIM.

Never will we try and justify sin. It should not be justified. It should be stripped and extinguished. Because, we have sinned before. I would not say we necessarily sin daily. But, we do sometimes. Again, WE are not infallible or without flaws. His Grace does not give us a right to sin. WE have given up ALL rights to our mighty GOD. The Grace of God gives us the freedom to walk through the process, drive through it, run through it and fly through it on HIS eagle’s wings.

Do not misunderstand us. WE are very human. However, what was a major weakness in the humanity we experience, we see GOD transforming and turning into HIS strength. Recently as much so as yesterday, we experienced something really challenging. I won’t get into too much details about it. But, suffice it to say, it was designed to shoot us through the heart. Yet, our amazing brother JESUS came and wept with us. He came and put HIS hand on our heart. We experienced HIS healing. Such peace and holy stillness flooded us. Grateful that something meant to deter and distract us did not get roots. THAT IS DIVINE INTERVENTION INDEED.

In the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Ahab became king over Israel in Samaria, and he reigned twelve years. He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, though not like his father and mother, for he put away the pillar of Baal that his father had made. Nevertheless, he clung to the sin of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which he made Israel to sin; he did not depart from it. Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep breeder, and he had to deliver to the king of Israel 100,000 lambs and the wool of 100,000 rams.

Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.

These verses are great examples of HIS Divine Intervention Yesterday, we were at church, one that God just moved us too. Finally someone wants what God is using us to offer. Thank you JESUS. Anyway, I met the worship pastor. I was thrilled to see it is a man. Because that is the way it should be. Not saying women cannot assist or help. But, MAN is the head under God. It should be that way. Women can be in leadership, but WE must be accountable too.

This church is Heaven sent. The worship pastor wants me to start in the choir. I am so excited because I asked God, “Keep us humble.” THIS is an answer to that prayer. Divine intervention. Yesterday, when I was introduced to the pastor over music, the whole electronic system went crazy. I thought, “WOW.” Because our GOD fights for us. That devil does not have a prayer, no matter how it seems. Because the enemy has lost. No desire to mock anyone here, just a fact. It is finished and soon ALL will see just how TRUE God’s word is. They will see here are consequences and penalties for even attempting to come against God. Soon, and very soon we are going to see HEAVEN. In His Grace and GLORY, E and Family

Heaven is Invading

end-of-the-world gates-of-heaven Gothic Girl waiting for end of the world great-fire-london-1666_11739_600x450 images Pandemonium panoramic-high-definition-picture-of-london-after-1

This day begins a month that will go down in History. I was awakened close to 5:30am. Tired, but willing to arise, I got up and sought HIS purpose. This life is about relationship. Everyone should have a separate yet equal relationship with the creator. The reason it is separate and equal, is because GOD has a unique way to MEET us ALL where WE are. What makes it EQuaL is HIS LOVE.

The LOVE of God is so different than I ever expected. It is so ALL encompassing. I mean, it affects every ounce of who we are. When I first got married, I struggled a lot with marriage. By, no means have we achieved perfection. But, I can say with all boasting in GOD, that instead of all the HELL that seemed to be present, we NOW experience MORE of Heaven.

THIS is true for various reasons, for David and I and our family. One main reason is, we have NEW insights and revelations since our daughter has returned home. There is more PEACE gifted to us, and we receive it more each day from the KING of KINGS. Heaven is invading. But, remember, at times, THat may look or FEEL like Hell.

The reason this month is important is simple. It is the month of NEW BEGINNINGS. It is the year of Deliverance, and it is the TIME of REVELaTION as we come out of the age of GRacE. ANyone can look around and SEE God moving, if looking through HIS eyes. Observing the storms, and the earth that has been and will continue crying out for HIS healing to arrive; it’s fairly obvious.

What is NOT completely known at first is whom is doing what. Meaning is it God or the enemy? The answer is, even IF it looks like the enemy it is GOD. The sovereignty of GOD cannot be denied. The power that is attempted by the enemy is simply from that seed. But, everything from now to forever, and even b4 time began started with the one who LOVES us, and created us. It began in the garden of EDEN.

Then one day, something changed. But, GOD knew THAT would come. So, after ALL the curses were addressed, He was merciful. Jesus was sent to die on a cross. In the most horrific way possible. HE took on HELL and won. SO, shall the Heavenly KINGDOM kids, and JEsus within. This is a powerful time to just WATCH GOD and praise HIM.

There is a reason He has waited on this invasion. There is also a reason for all the other GLORY invasions that came b4. I was in church yesterday with David. While worshipping God I had a beautiful vision. I could see Jesus, and our butterfly Sarah Beth. It was in front of a blackboard. It looked like an old blackboard, like from Little House on the Prairie. Butterfly was washing it off. I could see JEsus smiling. I then saw a small pool of water. At first I saw much evil in the pool, then I could only see a blur, and then ripples. It was a healing taking place, a holy ripple effect. Now, when the enemy attempts to thwart the plans, attack the mind, etc, I consider this. Also, after the ripples began to fade, I saw myself, the way GOD sees me. It was beautiful. I was standing in royal garbs, and it was glittery ALL over.

I say this NOT to make this for a second about me. But, simply to say, GOD wants to gift this kind of LOVE to ALL of us. He has in fact, gifted it, by what was done on the cross in Calvary. It is a gift that WE can receive through HIS son, our brother JEsus Christ of Nazareth. When the word says “I can do ALL things through Christ who gives me strength,” It means it.

I sit here in TEars before HIM. They are tears of JOY and some of sorrow. I thank HIM so much. I go to HIM thinking we are not worthy. You know what He says, ” Have my mind. You will see that in ME you are a gift and treasure, and were always b4 tasting the holiness. I SEE you as worthy. By birth right you absolutely DO deserve my LOVE.” Waste us before you mighty GOD from the most beautiful place of holy desires. Take ALL we have to offer. Thank you for bringing us Heaven.

Soon there will be a split. It has already been prophesied. All that YOU desire LORD will arrive. Soon and very soon ALL will know that you are real. ONLY you care about every single soul. YOU make us whole. The earth will quake, and storms will arise. Yet, the winds and the waves obey who you are. Lord, you placed and created each and every star. You have NOT stopped creating. You continue to stir your spirit within. As we stand with you, people ask us how? They wonder why WE have such faith in you, especially now. How could WE not praise YOU. Though we don’t always understand. You are the one, who holds it ALL in HIS hands. You are FATHER, MOTHER, SAVIOR and BEST FRIEND. We will shout of your GLORY forever and ALWAYS till the end. Thank you for your LOVE though we feel so underserving at times. Also, we feel undeserving as well. LORD, you know your heaven invasion sometimes feels like Hell. The shift has happened now. New levels of freedom appearing. We sit before you hearing of what is to come. Our hearts have grieved, our spirits have received your truth. Holy is the lamb, redeemer and PROOF. Thank you for LOVING us still, never letting go or leaving us alone. Thank you that as we call you always answer the phone.

Praise – 2014

Are you ready??? If not, the TIME is NOW to say YES. Do not wait. Because, the longer you wait, the more is going to come. His love is an offering before you. Heaven is not only REal it is HERE. It will begin as remnant and it will grow. Watch GOD.

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.

And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

Yesterday, David and I had the gift of seeing a movie screening. The name of the film is “The Remaining.” Consider the name. There are so many wonderful things in this film. They are disguised as darkness, but the light is very present. The reason we say they are disguised is, because darkness is the absence of light. God is LIGHT. He is GLORY. He is the one who remains, even in the midst of the darkness. Even when it appears, the darkness has consumed, HIS LOVE is bigger.

This day is the 30th,which Biblically represents the blood of Christ and dedication. There is no mistake that the Heavenlies are being stirred. Or, that the War is beginning to manifest on EARTH as it is in Heaven. Just remember this COGS, ( Children of God Supers) only ONE wins. It is NOT the enemy, no matter how it appears. Be not dismayed or distracted by the signs and wonders. Acknowledge and praise GOD. Praise the Heavenly Father, His son Jesus, and the beautiful Holy spirit.

The warnings have gone out and many are ignoring the truth. It is NOT always that they don’t know the truth. Some live life as if they are one way, and when the fruit is tested, it is revealed otherwise. There are many who, influenced by evil, and not openly corrected who are creating complications or attempting to. Yet, even the delays are an opportunity for God to pour out more HOLY FIRE on the LAND, and cultivate HIS Glory. Have you noticed that His Glory is birthed within the darkness?

Where the light is, the darkness cannot come. the LIGHT will eventually consume it. Because, even in the end, it will not be the enemy’s fire that destroys. It WILL be the FIRE of GOD. In fact, the “power” the enemy appears to have is simply God’s power manipulated. That was permitted for a season. BUT, it will NOT be permitted forever. Know THIS…that it is NOT time to play with GOD. It is NOT time to dabble in darkness. It is not time to ignore the plans or word of God.

It IS time to come to GOD and apologize. It is time to lay ourselves and anything NOT of HIM down on HIS altar. This movie, “The Remaining,” is like a holy version of the blair witch project. It is centered on the point God wants discussed. Choose THIS day whom you will serve. I’m not going to fuss at anyone, or condemn anyone. I am simply here, as a vessel to tell the TRUTH. Here is the TRUTH. Only Jesus the savior, can lead us to the Heavenly Father and the Holy Spirit. ONLY Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Yeshua, the prince of PEACE is the KEY to holy salvation.

Soon, the anti-christ will come officially. That spirit is already on the earth. The word says even the elect shall be deceived. In this movie, it touches on Revelation, and very specific events that will come. It stirs up emotion, but from holiness. It is a film that has many hidden secrets. Some will die for faith. But, what a way to go.

The movie centers around 5 people. It is fascinating to me. Mainly, because 5 Biblically means God’s Grace and favor. The 5 who are the main characters, are chosen. They might not have known it, but they were. We need to get BOLD about God’s LOVE. Yes, recognize evil. But, be NOT afraid of it. Jesus looked at the devil himself and stood on the WORD. Should we not do the same?

anyone can attempt to manipulate something. ONLY GOD can create something. Be it a movie, a song, a child. ONLY God has the power to give life. I purposely am not saying a lot about this film. My husband calls it a “rapture film” I think, that it is beyond that category. It is a film that depicts what it will look like when Heaven falls onto the earth. Personally, I have never liked the word rapture. It is not officially in scripture. I can’t help but notice how similar it is to another word. It is similar to raptor. The word raptor signifies a bird of prey. God is not a preyer. HE is a prayer. He is one who LOVES beyond all human imagination or comprehension. He will not snatch us, HE will deliver us. Of THaT you can be certain, for those who choose HIS TRUTH.

The movie does discuss how the world sees things. BUT, it also discusses how the WORD sees it. The latter is how GOD views what is coming and in some cases, what has already begun. It is FINISHED. He is very clear. Yet, there is a playing out that must come here. We are told to rejoice, to sing praises. To know that HIS GLORY will and has WON. When we left the theater yesterday, we felt such JOY.

It had been years that holy intercessors and warriors have been praying and praising God for This. For, this beautiful representation on the BIG SCREEN. We have trekked through and survived the release of Harry Potter and Twilight and more. Many of us prayed that even THOSE films would be used somehow for the GLORY of GOD. Thank you JESUS!!! You are our healer. Thank you Heavenly Father!!! Thank you Holy Spirit!!!! We have prayed for the actors, writers, producers and their families. Fruit! Holy fruit is finally in THIS film.

This is the 4th God inspired film THIS year that is at the box office. “Heaven is for REAL” is the one right before this one. The GLORY film, in the 3rd spot. Plus, there was “God’s NOT Dead” and also “The Son of God.” WATCH God. He has HUGE plans. Many have been told that He is making hollywood into HOLYWOOD. It began from a good place. It will return, by God’s hand. My favorite part last night in the film, is when the pastor confesses something. such a beautiful humilty in this, as well as hidden truths.

You see, there are many, being affected by spirits. There are many calling others bound, and claiming they are FREE. But, God sees it. He is the one asking and offering more freedom. Yet, like the Prarisees, and the Sadducees. That typo was not on purpose, but it fits. The Pharasaical spirit is a nasty one. It preys upon the word. It tries to make the word fit its purpose. The Sadducees, are SaD you see? Call it evil, call it witch craft, call it blah blah blah. The point is unholiness is NOT of God. Manipulation is NOT of God. Serving self is NOT of GOD. At least NOT the GOD of LOVE, GRACE and MERCY.

New revelation on the LAST shall be first and FIRST shall be last. It is about honor, and position but also about the END. He will choose those who humble themselves to have KINGDOM wealth from Heaven. Those who cry out to GOD to be broken before HIM so that indeed holy restoration can come. It will come, not only for them, but ALL they pray for who have destiny to know and LOVE God. Also, to be loved by HIM is critical in THIS season.

We look to the movies that will follow “The Remaining.” Because they will have even more of the TRUTH of God in them. Truly, we can say that movie left us wanting MORE. Lord, WE desire MORE of you. It must be none of us. But ALL of you. We surrender ALL and repent on behalf of ourselves and the enemies of GOD. Thank you for opening Glory windows that offer ONE LAST CHANCE. Time is closing and the need has never been so apparent to those who sit with you. Thank you for who you are. We come into your courts praising you. YOU alone are GOD and so worthy to be praised. In Jesus Name Amen

Take GOD literally at His word. Go deeper in HIM and on HIs JOURNEY with you. It is worth it. Because, if you don’t an eternity of DEATH, TORTURE and destruction awaits. It is TIME. Be not religious, have relation with the ONE who made you, through the power of Jesus Christ. Choose GOD. Else you be remaining behind, and given that one last chance, then TIME will stop here forever.

And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while. Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection.

One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast. And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?” And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months.

The voice I heard was like the sound of harpists playing on their harps, and they were singing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. No one could learn that song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. It is these who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins.

The nations raged, but your wrath came, and the time for the dead to be judged, and for rewarding your servants, the prophets and saints, and those who fear your name, both small and great, and for destroying the destroyers of the earth.” Then God’s temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple.

August 7, 2013 at 3:41am

A few days ago, I was spending time with our amazing Father and HIS glorious son, and the Holy Spirit. As this was happening, I heard HIM speaking into my spirit. He said, “On the 7th I want you to post this word. Because that day in August has great importance. It is completion in the month of NEW BEGINNINGS.” My spirit leaped for JOY because so many warriors right now are aching, licking our wounds, grieivng, and yet still doing and being used to do ALL we have been called to do. For He is doing so through us.

 

When He gave me the title, I was even more ecstatic. Some of us have been travailing for years. You all know who you are and HE does too, because He made you and me. So from Father’s heart to yours, may He use me to encourage you ALL today. Glory to GOD in the highest and peace as you receive HIS words.

 

SN : Before getting too far into this, after the word is completed I will be tagging some of you. He has given me wisdom on whom to tag.

 

The LORD said, “My children, Do you think that I am ignorant of and shocked by the enemies wiles? For I am not. I know this is difficult to see and be part of. But, I am here with you. I am carrying many of you right now. Others, I am binding your wounds up, so that you can continue. As many know by now, a changing of the guard is taking place. Many valiant warriors have requested release. So, I am releasing them. I am taking them home.

 

I warned you all that much death was coming. Because if I had not, than you would have fallen into despair and discouragement and stayed there. I am so proud of my children. I see you all, repenting, turning your hearts unto me. The ones who are not and have not, I grieve for you. I so desire as my word says, that none shall perish. But also, you know that some will.

 

A great revival has begun. Be encouraged as my strategies are so much bigger and more extravagant than the enemy who comes aginst you. Be aware that though the enemy is not stupid, he can only go so far, when you are hidden in me, and within my LOVE. Oh, how I LOVE you all. I will keep lifting you out of the miry clay, and delivering you from each egypt area that has been problematic in your lives. You will walk into the promised land with me.

 

Remember, anoint yourselves with oil in me. Take communion with me, seek my FACE because you will find more than you ever dreamed. JOY is coming. It is beloved ones. I know it is hard to recognize it because of the seemingly endless drought that has been happening. You are seeing the Glory rain fall. Begin to experience afresh and anew my ways, because they are not like the world you have been birthed into. But they are where I birthed you from.

 

Signs and wonders will follow you of course. But, be not dismayed when the ones that look evil try to infiltrate. I am sending you ALL out, my chosen, MY beautiful remnant all over MY WORLD. Your assignment, as many of you know, is to be used by me to take back the Kingdom. It was never lost, and all of this has been part of my plan. For it has been hidden in the world around you.

 

Consider the Lord’s prayer which I gave you. The job of my babies it to work with me and in me to bring HEAVEN to earth. It will happen, not because it has to, but simply because I promised, and I, your Father, never break promises. In this time, DO NOT LIMIT me. Make sure that you are eating of me and my word, and seeking my peace in all decisions and choices made.

 

To those married, be in agreement with your spouse. Women, my precious daughters you have done well. Many of you have been transformed into Proverbs 31 wives.  For those who have not, it is coming. Continue to surrender and submit to me and to me within your spouses. Men, you are rising up and you will wear the crowns in humilty. The angels are at your aid my children. The veil has been torn, and you will begin to SEE more, as you heal and receive from me. Eat my manna. You will know what it is. Pray over the food of this world, for no evil will befall you as you do so.

 

For those who are single, many mates are being prepared. You must release ALL bitterness, anger, unforgiveness, resentment, impatience, and pain to me. Leave it at the cross. For by the stripes of my son, taking every sin upon HIMSELF, you were healed. Choose not rebellion in this season. Beause the ways of the enemy will be overtaken with Holy Fire.  All my children must release all ties of this world. You all, to have Heavenly freedom, and not be overtaken must daily submit and surrender to me and give up all your desires. Mine are so much more for you, and I will resurrect the ones that are truly hidden away in your hearts.

 

Remember that when there is evil, you must pray aginst it, but be focused on Christ, my son. He is the one who will keep you safe, and walk with you as relationships change. Great destruction is coming for those who serve the enemy. Many of you have been shown these things. But also know that in this, my GLORY will be birthed, ike a treasure within the darkness.

 

Show kindness to each other in this season. You will encounter the least, last and lost. This is because ALL of you have been this very thing. You were chosen for a specific reason. You each have my purity, hope and goodness within. The word says that It is finished. It was in Heaven when my son died on the cross. Now, it will manifest on the earth. You will see ALL that you were promised. Use what I give you wisely, and let me alone lead you. For my son never sinned because He came to me. Let my spirit permeate your being so that there is more of me and less of you, always.

 

ALL MY LOVE,

 

Your Father who made YOU and whom adores you.

16 But whenever a person turns [in repentance] to the Lord, the veil is stripped off and taken away.

17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (emancipation from bondage, freedom).

18 And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit.

God’s Money Super Kids

Did you know that Money is NOT evil? I know this is a controversial topic. But, it is also one that needs to be addressed. When I was awoken at close to 4 am today, this stopic registered strongly. That was a typo, I thought. God said, “Leave it. I am tired of my children harping on things of this world, and often ignoring mine.”  So, know this about this subject matter. It is important to the one who created us and gives ALL gifts. He is saying stopic, which God showed me means, “stop listening to the world topics, and pay attention to Heaven. It is MY world.”

Now, Money is meant to be for seeds. It is meant to bring growth. The word says, “It is the root of ALL evil.” David and I have always had plenty. My husband, graced by God is an incredibly intelligent man. I tell people, “He makes people like Bill Gates look moderately smart.” I say this, not to brag on my husband. I boast only in the ONE who made him. I thank GOD, for it is GOD who has gifted this, and really HE alone who is the smart one that we see. David is learning to come out of agreement with unholy logic. Talk about a hard thing. He was taught, as were many of us, that what is logical must be.

However is God’s logic the same as ours?

Because, His logic says, that when we don’t put anything above HIM, we inherit the Kingdom. Does that make any sense? I mean, we receive gifts from HIM, ALL the time. You receive a gift every single day. Remember, you can breathe. So, no matter how your kids are acting, or your spouse, friends, etc….you are LOVED. God’s money is SO different than ours. Let’s talk about it for a moment. His “money” comes in many forms. The world’s definition is THIS…

  1. mon·ey
    ˈmənē
    noun
    1. a current medium of exchange in the form of coins and banknotes; coins and banknotes collectively.
      “I counted the money before putting it in my wallet”
      synonyms: cashhard cashready moneyMore

      • formal
        sums of money.
        plural noun: moneys; plural noun: monies
        “a statement of all moneys paid into and out of the account”
      • the assets, property, and resources owned by someone or something; wealth.
        “the college is very short of money”
        synonyms: wealthrichesfortuneaffluence, assets, liquid assets, resources,means
      • Look at the examples given. Now see God’s example. It is something of value, a gift, a treasure, a holy currency. There is no need for it in Heaven, yet here, it can be gifted from there. Let’s explain further.

        My favorite definition here is of course the 3rd one. The computer seems to be having issues, with spacing, so bare with me on that. His Grace….oh HIS gRACe. God desires HIs COGS to b blessed beyond measure. In fact, WE are. But, where is the faith in staring at a bank account???

        Where is the TRUST in speaking difficulties? I mean, just because the logic is there, does NOT mean it is God’s desire. He is the one who makes us super heroes. But, let’s take a moment to look at the life of one of those. The one that jumps out to me is SUperman. Is this man wealthy? Well, some would say yes. But, he also seems very lonely. Few friends, and no wife.

         

        But, the enemy has been offering money and fame for years. The imposter has been permitted for a time. Now, is the TIME that the GLORY will thrive. It won’t be the GLORY of man. It will be the GLORY of God. Of that you can be certain. You can call it crazy, but I would not recommend it. Because, soon all will see….and know just how Great is our GOD.

        The Heavens are opening. God’s money is what brings value. It is a holy gift. Let me share some testimony. We had a restaurant and still do, but God put some things on hold. Before He closed the doors, He put 10,000 in our account. God did it. It was to pay the employees. When the business closed, they were angry at us. But, God. It is HIS business. We have responsibilty yes, and WE have and do surrender it ALL to HIM. But, the bank could not trace where the money came from. The enemy didn’t put it there. GOD did! It may have appeared that it came from one place, but we know HIs TRUTH. Every good and perfect THING comes from above. GOD gifted this.

        To HIM, that money is nothing. It is simply  a gift for HIS precious COGS. It is a tool to further the growth and fruition of HIS KINGDOM on EARTH. Another example is when we went to take Butterfly, Sar AH, to see Winter. God calls her Sar AH. It is like a breath of fresh air. I could not have described her better. When she went, for a while, it was hard to breath. But, seeing winter was frought with challenges. This amazing dolphin, was a gift to pur baby girl, not just the child who met Winter orignally, but to MANY children. We had our card declined. It would have been easy to walk away. But, God. He said, “Take David’s wallet and give it to me.” I asked David,” do you believe God wants us here to see winter? Do you believe that HE will make a way from no way?” He said, ” YEs.” Then an additional 20 dollars appeared in the wallet.

        This entry is NOT about money. In fact, we know money can be used for the purpose of Heaven of Hell. But, what it is about is who is the author of the distribution? Who are YOU permitting, by agreement to guide your money. Because GOD must be the guide. He must be the director of every step. Money comes from paper, at least Cash does. Paper comes from TREES. So does fruit. Money is the root of ALL evil. Yet, it can become the FRUIT of the KINGDOM when purposed for holiness.

        Lord, we repent for anytime that directly or indirectly money has become a god in our life. YOU alone deserve the GLORY. You are our provider. Alpha and Omega. You are the beginning and the end. As you humble us even more mighty GOD, bring your currency. Trust us LORD, for we will obey your heart. We stand and repent even for unbelievers who know no better. Make us living epistles. Help us to digest the plans you have Father God. We thank you JEsus for your healing power. We praise you HOLY spirit for your nurturing and correction. Break us down. Take what must be taken. For ONLY your GLORY must remain and shine.

        In Jesus Name and Blood,

        Amen.

        The LORD is changing our direction. Very tough things are approaching. Where is your security? Is it in a home? Is it in people? It must ONLY be in GOD. He must be your currency. It may sound cheesy, but ALL we need is HIS LOVE. He is the orchestrator of this beautiful LIFE symphony. Will you receive His new thing?

        Because if you are NOT open for change and holy correction, you will miss out. He LOVES you. But, God will only give so many chances. Look at HIs word. What does it say???

        Break me into a million pieces. For You resurect, Put Back Together In Forward motion. You have my permission. Take me over. This day, may the love of who you are seep from my pores. I feel your hands, electric and smooth like lotion. Nothing but respect, the highest of praise. Thank you for the REST, even the grace to falter. For the only request is to lay it on the altar. Sin has not the hold it did. Every day a new repentant heart. Freedom taking flight, not seeing just in part. For drinking of Heavenly wine, is healing. It’s like nothing of this world. Awaken us to your truth. For it is appealing. It restores our youth. For every boy and girl, you desire rescue. Take us deeper mighty King. Bring us holy balance. We bow to kiss your ring. The tears flow, but not like b4. No more toxic ones, and only holy doors. It isn’t feeling easy, but not like the past. You’re love lasts. I am amazed by the wonder. The child like faith that throes the world asunder. Have your way. An honor to be you’re baby. An alabaster box before the throne, broken yet being restored.

Deep Calling OUT

This morning I heard the Father speak, ” I am calling ALL of my children into my secret place.” This day is the 21st. That biblically represents vengeance and excessive sin. God is wiping the slates for HIS faithful COGS. He needs us. Meaning, He has need of the faithful to reach out to the LOST. Like never before, this is necessary.

Deep is calling OUT. It is time to set the captives free. They have endured long enough. JESUS will set them free. We must come into agreement for HIM to use us effectively. WE must surrender ALL, and seek HIS purpose, plan and peace in ALL things. Because, in this season, if people are not following God, He will bring Heaven and to them it will be HELL.

Even for the faithful holy remnant at first the FIRE will burn. But, know this has purpose. Become acutely aware of the enemy’s scheme. Only under the tutelage of the LORD can this be. There will appear to be much death around. However, it is up to you as to whether it abounds. Do you care more about the souls of others, even than yourself?

Because major sacrifices will be required, based on obedience to the KING. You shall see. Everyone seems to think it is no big deal to be hateful to each other. But, it is a BIG BIG deal. THIS entry was begun on the 18th. God is breaking HIs children out of bondage. 18 Biblically represents this. It is finishing on the 24th, which is the ROYAL priesthood. The royal family that everyone else sees, is not the family of God.

But, it is TIME that honor is placed where it is due. Today at 1am, David and I returned from a trip. This trip went exactly as God desired. But, MAN was it tough in parts for us. HIS LOVE really does conquer ALL. 1 is New beginnings.  So, the house had lost power 4 1/2 days earlier. The temperature was like 85 when we walked in. Yet, God kept ALL inside well. Anyway, we came in, showered, and rested for a few. Then, we woke, went for breakfast, and our card was declined. ALL we could do was laugh. Grateful that there was cash in the wallet, we got food. We thanked God. Then, we came home, and there was no answer to the request for funds. So, we posted a request on FB. Within minutes, someone messaged David. Thank you LORD! Then, right after that, the previous request came through and then some. Half way through the day, we were led to go again, to the same place for a meal. We diud not get much, but what we did was interesting. The price was. $11.11. This is the number of the angels. I had seen it earlier. a girl at the counter said, you should play the lottery. My response was simple. I said, “If God wants me to have money, it will fall from the sky.” The teenage boy, who was just precious said something intersing. He said, “That is a good woman right there.” Humbled by the LOVE of God indeed. See, it is working, it is NOT pointless. Just move in His LOVE.

This song was on today….after I woke from a dream of battle with the enemy. The song is very appropriate. The power had been off for 5 days. We were led to donate the food. Also, God kept our kitty babies safe. Here is the SonG…

Hillsong –

“Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)”

You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep
My faith will standAnd I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mineYour grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand
Will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You’ve never failed and You won’t start now

So I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine

[6x]
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior

I will call upon Your name
Keep my eyes above the waves
My soul will rest in Your embrace
I am Yours and You are mine.

THIS song really has always spoken to me. Because the TIME is being prepared for God to do as he promised. so many promises. Whose side will you be on???
THIS  heavenly note from my sister Carla…given by GOD fits so well here.

~Time Is At Hand, Are You For Me or Against Me~

July 24, 2014 at 4:07pm

What more can I say to those that do not love Me? How can I reach the unreachable to search their hearts when they turn their back on Me, ignore Me, disintegrate My teachings from above, from the true Master and Teacher? I say none, nothing more can be done but to judge those that judge Me. My daughter, those that turn away from Me, oh what a sad, sorrowful day that will be. Do they not know I love them? How could they not know, for have I not spoke it many eons now? This saddens Me and I weep today daughter, for what is to come upon My people now. The lost, forlorn, they seek Me, they come to the Father, will you love me, save me? But what about the others, have they not heard the Word of God, have they not seen or heard the good news I brought to My people? Oh, people of Mine, how I weep today, for soon you will not see Me, for I have lifted My hand off America, your land, that I so dearly loved and created for a free people, who set you aside from all the others. You promised Me that I would be first, you promised Me, give me life, or give me death. But today My children you turn your backs on Me. This is not for those that love Me, who have struggled along the roadside, highway of life, who have given up themselves to serve Me, no, this is for all the others, even those that say they love Me, but do not, for how can they love Me, when they spit upon My name? Oh, holy nation where have you gone? Why do you despise Me? Have I not given you enough? I gave you freedom and liberty, your own constitution in My name, yet you disregard Me and tear down the walls that once built you up.

 

Oh woe to those that seek out to destroy My children, My chosen ones. They that love Me, who have stood their ground amongst the enemy. Do you not understand the power of the Word of God? Do you justify your ways simply to destroy what I built? The Word of God stands today, just as it did when it was spoke. Why take pieces of it and twist and turn it to suit your needs and desires? Have I not said that if you follow Me, love Me, I shall keep you all the days of your life? Yet you get angry at those who speak the truth, those that you say come against you. You become defensive at those I have chosen to speak out My words. They are not spoke to hurt you, make you afraid or unworthy, they are spoke because I love you and seek you. There are many that say they love Me, but do you, for what is a measure of love, how deep must it go to enter into the sin of man, to convict them and bring them to their knees in repentance? The sin of man has always been, yet there has always been a group of followers who have stood by, looked out for signs and wonders, who would give their very life for Me if I ask them. Are you one of these My children, would your give your very life for Me? When the enemy comes to attack you, are you ready to lay down for Me, or will you shun Me, take the easier route?

 

The time is at hand now dear ones, the day not far off now where many will see My chosen ones and their callings. You who I have called, you have stood up, you have walked the road, the path, you have been through the fiery furnace, yet you still remain faithful to Me. You My little ones, shall endure to the end and you shall be caught up to the heavens on that day when the Father returns to collect His.

 

Be one of these ones, come off your course of destruction to your life and seek Me. I am not to far away to be reached. The hour has not come yet that I am unreachable. Come lay down your burdens, your pain, your sufferings unto Me, don’t you know I want to take these things from you? Don’t you know, no love is greater than Mine? Come let Me show you little ones, don’t let the hour pass you by, for you see, I have always been and will be forever more, there is nothing I would not do to save you, love you, mend your broken heart. Come let Me love you before the dark hour approaches. Don’t be caught off guard. I have all you have ever wanted and needed, you just didn’t know. Beseech Me My beloved ones, come to Me in this midnight hour before the dark hand comes upon you, a darkness you do not want to endure on your own. For I Am the true living waters, I Am the way back home to eternity, come live with Me forever and ever. The time is running out, the clock ready to strike midnight, don’t let this hour pass you by beloved ones of mine.

 

Luke 12:40

“You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”

 

John 7:38
Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from with in them.
1 Chronicles 16:22

“Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm.”

 

Luke 12 6-7
Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
John 3:10 and 13-14

“If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have have asked him and he would have given you living water.”

Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

 

I have posted His words as He instructed me. scribed by Carla Kohler.

 

God is a JEALOUS GOD. Everything in HIM is LOVE and Holiness. He will not settle for just part of you. HE wants, desires and needs ALL of you. So are you ready??? He is coming back for a bride without spot or wrinkle. Will you let HIM clean you and straighten you out???

I hear DEEP calling OUT to DEEP….His arms are within reach. He is right there waiting for you. But, the windows will close. Don;t you want to KNOW? Don’t you want to see? Don’t you want to open the gifts that are ready? Because ALL He wants is your humilty. He wants you to say, HEAL us LORD. He wants you to cry out Forgive me God and I forgive them too, and even YOU. He wants the tears to FALL, so He can catch them. Will you say YES? Because, the TRUTH is, if you say NO you will forfeit ALL the blessings. God won’t just dress the wounds, He will make them evaporate by HIS holy fire. Yet, there are some, who will choose death, they will choose evil. They will have nothing left, and burn in the fire. No worldly desire can stop or change that upheaval. So, which side are you on? Are you a winner or a loser. God loves us ALL. But, only HE is the closer. He LOVES straight from Heaven, but know it can feel like Hell at first. DO you hunger and thirst for what is REAL? He is bringing Heaven and it is NOT dependant on how we feel. Watch GOD. It may seem ODD but will you swim? Can you stand HIS ocean? Because He is your life preserver and your healing lotion. Receive today….Heaven’t gifts, let HIM sift you for and in HIS GLORY. He deserves the BEST, the Rest and the peace as we obey and believe. ~

The Ocean – 2014 (EKS)

For David….and ALL the MEN of GOD….

 

 

The Afters

“Broken Hallelujah”

I can barely stand right now.
Everything is crashing down,
And I wonder where You are.I try to find the words to pray.
I don’t always know what to say,
But You’re the one that can hear my heart.Even though I don’t know what your plan is,
I know You’re making beauty from these ashes.

I’ve seen joy and I’ve seen pain.
On my knees, I call Your name.
Here’s my broken hallelujah.

With nothing left to hold onto,
I raise these empty hands to You.
Here’s my broken hallelujah.

You know the things that have brought me here.
You know the story of every tear.
‘Cause You’ve been here from the very start.

Even though I don’t know what your plan is,
I know You’re making beauty from these ashes.

I’ve seen joy and I’ve seen pain.
On my knees, I call Your name.
Here’s my broken hallelujah.

With nothing left to hold onto,
I raise these empty hands to You.
Here’s my broken hallelujah.

When all is taken away, don’t let my heart be changed.
Let me always sing Hallelujah
When I feel afraid, don’t let my hope be erased
Let me always sing Hallelujah.
Let me always sing Hallelujah.

I will always sing
I will always sing
Here’s my broken hallelujah.

So will you LET GO of what constrains you? What constricts you from receiving HIS LOVE??? The choice is yours. I choose Heaven. It cannot wait. Enjoying it more each day. Thank you LORD. We repent for places where we falter. We lay it on your altar. Take our ashes and make us beautiful once again. ~
http://christiand2010.wordpress.com/2012/10/22/reflections-on-deep-cries-out/

For the last two years I have served as Northwest University’s Worship Director. In some ways I have the opportunity to be the worship pastor for our community. This job has been one of the most defining and sharpening seasons of my life. A part of my job is reviewing the songs that we use in our services. Lately, we have been singing a very catchy song entitled “Deep Cries Out” that has provoked different thoughts. So I have taken the time to converse with different students, pastors, and professors in order to gain a holistic view of the song.  The following are thoughts and reflections of me and others, followed by my conclusion and application of those thoughts.

On the surface the song speaks of going into a deeper relationship with God using the references from Ezekiel 47, John 8, and Psalm 42. It also uses Pentecostal terminology from a prophetic movement that said wherever the Spirit and “river” of God would move the church would obediently and joyfully follow. The song calls the church to express their praise by jumping, dancing, shouting, and crying out.  It communicates a desire to encounter God in an ongoing way; this in itself is a cry that the people of God throughout history have uttered in one way or another and, in that sense, the impulse of this song is historically and biblically consistent with that practice. At the linguistic level, several phrases are obviously taken from Scripture (“river of living water” = John 7; “deep cries out (to deep)” = Psalm 42) and, anytime we sing Scripture, I think we are joining with God’s people through history.

However, in this case, these phrases are used without any particular regard to the way they appear in their Scriptural context. It becomes clear that these phrases have been used as “code terms” for a certain kind of religious or ecstatic experience that was not their original point of reference (note how they are tied to “shouting” and “dancing” and “jumping”). Therefore, even though some lyrical lines sound “Scriptural” they are less so than they seem. For instance, “deep” in Psalm 42:7 is a symbolic reference by a person who likens their suffering and desperation to “drowning” in God’s deep water = ocean, waves, and thunderclouds.

In the Bible, worship is our response to what God has revealed to us about himself and his ways. This song is heavily weighted on the side of response, especially when it says that we are calling out to God. The part about deep crying out to deep comes from Psalm 42 which is a lament. The verse is not entirely clear, but it certainly has to do with calling to God out of intense trouble that may well become worse. It doesn’t have to do with being in God’s “river” of blessing. On the contrary, Psalm 42 is from a “downcast” soul, basically somebody who is nearly drowning in trouble and sorrow. So that part of the worship song doesn’t really fit with that part of the Bible. The song looks quite joyful with talk of jumping, shouting, and dancing. That’s great! The joy of our salvation is real indeed!

Again, there is a biblical echo in turning right and left according to where God leads. This sounds like Isa 30:21. In all fairness, however, in most of the OT, God’s people are encouraged to walk straight, thus, turning to the right or left is a negative thing (see Deut 28:14) Proverbs 4:27 says not to turn to the right or left, and good kings were commended because they did not turn to the right or left (2 Kgs 22:2). But the idea of being unfaithful (turning right or left) is clearly not what this song about. It is likely that the references of “the river” and “going to the left” are uses of the language from a Pentecostal movement

A lot of contemporary Christian music is focused on us, the worshippers, rather than the one to whom we should be drawing all attention. The “we will never be denied” definitely errs in that direction, and is furthermore theologically and biblically incorrect. Add to that the focus on human agency (are we really the ones who stir up the wells and waters?!) and you end up with something that may well have a great rhythm and melody, but is something that is uncomfortable singing in honesty. A critique would be that the song is over-emotional, and I would not argue against that. The song and worshipers can be over-emotional. But, I would never want to forfeit the use of emotions in our expression and relation to God. Everything about Christ, His salvation, His return, and His coming is thought-provoking and emotional. I would not want to come to the place where the church would forsake our emotions in our attempt to “better worship” God. The true worshipers whom the Father seeks are thoughtful and emotional. Worship is a response. It is a response with our mind, will, emotions, and actions

Since worship is our response to God’s self-revelation, it is always good to look for how a song lifts up some aspect of God’s character or celebrates what God has done. We know him through his attributes (He is forgiving) which lead to his actions (He forgives). So then, what does this song say about God? God releases a river of living water from Heaven upon us. This is an echo of John 7:38 but the song says nothing about the Holy Spirit which is clearly what Jesus was talking about (read John 7:39). God leads us to the right and to the left. That’s a fair point, though fairly simple.

Jesus Christ is the real focus of worship, so I tend to look for how our lyrics point to him and what he did for us. On that point, this song comes up pretty empty. As a leader in charge of choosing music, if this song were in the list, I would not necessarily remove it. I would just be intentional that there were other songs to sing that did bring us as the people of God closer to the cross and throne of Jesus who we worship and adore. This song is not a worship song itself but more so a corporate call to worship.

I try to not loosely use the word “worship” for our time of corporate music (or even the arts). The music and singing, we do in our services is typically not just worship. I find that for our services at NU there are at least three purposes for this music time. First and most prevalent this time is for congregational worship (responding to the revelation of who God is, what He has done, and what He has said). This is done through songs about Christ, His attributes, and His deeds. Second, the time also serves as an opportunity to encourage our community through song, scripture, and testimony. This incorporates songs that are reflective, tell stories of Christ, or share about different hardships in life. These songs then often call the church to see life differently and hope amidst the situations. These typically are not worship songs. They are encouragement, but they can be used to lead the church back into worship. Last, the corporate music time is for the community to verbalize and remind itself of their commitment to God, desire for God, need of God, and pursuit after God. Again, these songs are not worship songs though they refer to God. These songs verbalize a desire and call for commitment to God. These songs are typically used in camp or conference settings where the goal is to cultivate a desire for God (which should lead to the true worship of God for Who He is and what He has done).

To conclude, “Deep Cries Out” does not qualify as a worship song. A few of the reasons (over-simply stated) being: 1) the song is man-focused and not God-centered, 2) it does not accurately convey the true meaning of some of the texts where it comes from, 3) it centers on what we want to do, not on God, 4) it really just does not worship God.  The song seems to be calling believers to a devotion to God, to follow God (shown primarily through the chorus, bridge, and tag), and specifically to respond through dancing, shouting, crying, and jumping.

As I stated before, not all of the purposes for corporate music time are for worship.  My aim is that the worship of God is always the priority and prevalence of what we do. I pray that we use our time together to worship Him more than anything else. As a worship leader, my goal is to lead people into the worship that they have within them and that God is entitled. Songs are used to reorient the heart, soul, mind, and body (strength) towards God. Again, I would not qualify this song as a worship song and it should not be treated as one.  It is important to remember that songs are not of themselves worship; they are a means to worship. Worshipers make songs worship. So intentionally, “Deep Cries Out” can definitely be utilized to prepare a congregation to worship together.

I propose that this song can fulfill the two other uses of our time of corporate music, as stated earlier.  It is vital for worship leaders to use a song like this with that intention. Know your congregation, their maturity, and their needs. Be very strategic in how to utilize the purpose of this or any other song. “Deep Cries Out” calls the church into a deeper commitment and relationship with God and then expresses that relationship with different forms of praise. These are things that we, as the church, want and need.

Mercy Me

“You Are I Am”

I’ve been the one to shake with fear
And wonder if You’re even here
I’ve been the one to doubt Your love
I’ve told myself You’re not enough

I’ve been the one to try and say
I’ll overcome by my own shame
I’ve been the one to fall apart
And start to question who You are

You’re the one who conquers giants
You’re the one who calls out kings
You shut the mouths of lions
You tell the dead to breathe
You’re the one who walks through fire
You take the orphan’s hand
You are the one Messiah
You are I am
You are I am

I’ve been the one held down in chains
Beneath the weight of all my shame
I’ve been the one to believe
That where I am You cannot reach

You’re the one who conquers giants
You’re the one who calls out kings
You shut the mouths of lions
You tell the dead to breathe
You’re the one who walks through fire
You take the orphan’s hand
You are the one Messiah
You are I am
You are I am

The veil is torn
And now I live with the Spirit inside
The same one, the very same one
Who brought the Son back to life

Hallelujah, He lives in me
Hallelujah, He lives in me
Hallelujah, He lives in me
Hallelujah, He lives in me

You’re the one who conquers giants
You’re the one who calls out kings
You shut the mouths of lions
You tell the dead to breathe
You’re the one who walks through fire
You take the orphan’s hand
You are the one Messiah
You are I am
You are I am

Why do we COUNT time?

download

The last 3 days, I have been sitting before God. Some have a misconception that you can do nothing else but stare. I do believe that GOD can be mesmerizing. However, sometimes He calls us to do more than stare. I thank GOD for the gift of HIS LOVE. He gave me this topic this morning. He said, “My child, please stop counting time.”

I said, “I am not sure I understand.” He said, “When you walk from Heaven, there is NO time.” Lately, since our world was rocked, I have not been sleeping as much. I know GOD is calling me unto HIM. He has me literally take breaks from the world. What is awesome is THAT can happen, and life can go on as usual, in a sense. Let me explain. God is not limited. But, we as humans can be. Humans are only limited without GOD.

He gently reminded me, ” Time is not the healer. I AM.” Time is simply a tool that can be used in the healing process. ” Now, I should confess something. There was a season in my life, where I was unbalanced in FAITH. God so met me there, and when it tries to rear it’s ugly head again, He stomps it in the ground. God alone slays Goliath. He may use us to do it, but HE does it.

How many people live on a time schedule???? I mean the 9 to 5 job is a great example. THIS world is built around TIME. But, Heaven is built around LOVE. Hell is built around hate. THEY are polar opposites. Yet, there is a very fine line between the two.

So, why do we count time? Why do we stare at the clock wondering when the hours will pass sometimes? Have you ever experienced this? An example is in school, when the class is boring, or you are tired. another example is, at an appointment. If the doctor, teacher, or tutor is running behind schedule, what happens? Well, usually you just wait right? Isn’t this true according to the word? Don’t we have to wait on GOD? I know it is a lot of questions. But, it is time for God reflections.

The enemy shows a lot of people his mirror. Would you NOT rather see God instead??? I know I would. 😉

Isaiah 40:31 Amplified Bible (AMP)

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.

Shouldn’t we LIVE according to God’s time schedule? Because I believe we should. Yet, it takes the mind of Christ to do so. God wants to be our LIFE manager. He wants to manage and take care of everything. In fact, it is one of the many hidden promises He makes us. When He says, “Come follow me and I will make you fishers of men.” He is talking about several things here. He is talking about learning how to LOVE through HIM. Also, He is speaking of holy discernment. It is actually a hidden reference to testing spirits. God wants ALL of us.

This song came to my spirit…

Years ago I watched a movie with this title. I was fascinated by it. It was a movie that captivated by attention. Mainly because it was about death, and how it does not stop LOVE from shining. GOD is LOVE. HE is, we are only LOVE in HIM.

What does HIS word say about time management?

James 4:13-17 ESV / 81 helpful votes

Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”— yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.

Psalm 39:4-5 ESV / 69 helpful votes

2 Peter 3:8-14 ESV / 35 helpful votes

But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed. Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn!

Matthew 25:1-46 ESV / 35 helpful votes

“Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept.

So, are you giving GOD All of you???

Lord, we come before you thankful WE are yours. We repent b4 you because we know we falter. But, we stand here, and lay it down on your altar. You are worthy. Bring us HEAVEN mighty GOD. Lead us home.

In His Grace and GLORY,

E and FAM
