YOUR SWEET EMBRACE
March 10, 2024
Let me see Your face so that I may touch You. Let me know Your heart so I can share in the burden of the Lord. If You don’t move upon me, I’m like a dead man for You give me life in abundance.
Let me know Your perfect will and have Your wisdom to walk in it but most of all, I need You to pour out Your grace; without it, I can do nothing. You enable me to walk in Your perfect will. You take me by my hand and shield me from my foes that are out to torment me constantly.
This is the day You have made, enable me to rejoice in it. With quiet contemplation, I embrace Your promises. May they never escape from my heart. Plant Your Truth deep in me that I may cast down all vain images sent to deceive me with fear, worry, and anxiety.
You are the Way, the Truth, and the Life. There is no other Way I would want to be from now unto eternity, You are mine.
GRACE, GRACE AND BEYOND
February 27, 2024
A Word of Comfort to those who might have entered a place of stagnant waters to bring you into the refreshing streams of God’s Grace.
“There comes a time in one’s life where they become determined to cast all their cares upon Me and trust fully resting in My faithfulness to preserve their life.
Casting all care upon Me gives them the strength to go on no matter what they face.
Casting cares frees you of all burdens of frustration and discouragement giving you the energy to carry My load which is light and easy to bear.
Remain silent upon your bed not with racing thoughts of anxiety but only of peace and well-being. In a time of warfare which begins in one’s mind you must remain steadfast to cast down all vain imaginations sent to distract you from resting in My intimate Presence and Love.
As you seek My Face, you begin to know My Will and have the Wisdom needed to walk in it.
I give you the Grace, the great Grace and beyond even the depth needed to go into realms of My Presence you’ve never entered before.
This is where you must stay as you enter the deep places; I have for you.
Rest and be refreshed and make this day the beginning of the rest of your life carrying with you My dynamic overcoming Strength and Power, which is My Joy and the Peace that surpasses all understanding as you abide in Me,” says your LORD.
RESTORATION TO THE FAMILY
January 29, 2024
“Concerning the Children: Can I bring life where there was once death? Can I raise life out of death and destruction?
The enemy comes only to steal, kill, and destroy — but I came that I might bring life and life more abundantly.
Lift up life! Speak Life over the Children and Peace and a sound mind — that they would only hear Truth and would reject the lies of the evil one.
This is the day when many are giving way to the lies of the evil one, and they are speaking lies over the children.
Speak Life and break the curses of the evil one!
Speak Freedom to the captive spirits, freedom to those bound with habitual sins of harlotry!
Set the captives free by speaking Truth over life!
Be amazed what I will do as you speak life.
I will turn the hearts of the fathers to their sons that they will stand up for them.
In transgression, they will turn back to Truth and love their children. The sons will receive their love and turn back to their fathers.
Fathers need to repent of leaving their post as head of the family and the protector of the family and speak My Truth over them, and be aware of what is happening to the world, because of their neglect of the family.
Mothers need to repent of not being there for their daughters and sons.”
“If My people who are called by My name would humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear their cry to Me and forgive their sin and heal their land.” 2 Corinthians 7:14
Pray My will be done, and My Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:10)
Amen….
TIME OF QUIET CONTEMPLATION
January 5, 2024
“Be still and know that I AM God.
Appreciate that you have the time to be quiet and still before Him. Many people do not have this precious freedom where they can quiet their minds before Him.
This is the day where many have fallen short of the glory of God. They have given into the devices of the evil one to steal, kill and destroy the innocence of many of My loved ones.
The little foxes have been allowed to destroy the vine and many have given way to eat that forbidden fruit of deception.
Many have become wary of having trusted in those who were supposed to protect them. They trusted and were betrayed.
They did not develop an intimate relationship with Me — and instead trusted in man to be that place of honor and trust and were led astray.
Trust in no man and the fear of man becomes a snare to all who put man first. Know Me and rest in Me.
Seek to know Me and not just to know about Me through others who say they know Me.
I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
I AM the Way in the darkness for I Light the way for you to follow.
Seek Me first. Acknowledge Me.
Lean on Me for you are wary and downtrodden.
Put Me first above all else.
Don’t lean on your own understanding,
Rest — I tell you this day — rest in Me!”
ONLY BY ETERNAL GRACE
December 23, 2023
Except that we overcome by Grace, there is no other way in which we can overcome the onslaughts of the enemy for they are many and we must escape them only by abiding in the Secret Place of The Most High.
The Secret Place is our place of habitation where we are being uplifted and strengthened by His abiding grace which is the power that enables us to be able to face the giants knowing that nothing by any means can harm us and if so, that only good will come forth from whatever we have to face and walk through.
This is the day when many are backing away from abiding in the Secret Place. They are allowing the distractions of the Season and discouragement because of the times at hand to cause them to look for other ways in which to cope all that is facing us as a nation.
Instead of running towards The LORD, our Shepherd, and hiding under His wing, we run away from Him.
We need to draw close to Him so close to be able to hear His heartbeat.
We are to know His thoughts because we have the mind of Christ if we walk in His spirit.
Know Him, love Him, abide in Him, and receive His grace to overflowing. There is no other way in which we can overcome.
He is that only Way, the Truth, and the Life that we have found that will take us towards receiving Eternal Grace that is ours in Him.
A CALL BACK TO INTIMACY
December 5, 2023
This is a season where many are battling discouragement, depression and the oppression of the enemy. I believe this Word is for many and not just for me.
“Where have you been, My child? Where have you been running off to and leaving Me behind?
You say that you are doing those things for Me that you get involved in but mainly they’ve all been just distractions from being with Me.
Don’t allow the enemy to tempt you to justify your actions.
Do not believe the lies of the evil one for he only comes to steal, kill, and destroy who you are in Me. He wants you off from others who love Me, and you, so he can have you all to himself.
You say that you don’t like what others in The Church are doing but what are you doing?
Are you reaching out to the lost to share My Love with others when you can’t even receive the love that I have for you.
This is the day of the great falling away and many are giving ear to the evil one and become islands to themselves when the most important thing is for you to be part of My Bride, My beloved, the ones I gave My life for.
You are part of the Family of God, but you treat yourself as one who has an orphan heart, one who has been rejected, and cast to the side as useless. That is a lie for you have much to give to others.
You have a heart of true worship. You have a heart after Me, but the enemy has been trying to take that from you, but I have planted it deep from before the foundation of time.
I have sealed you to be Mine and I have shed My blood to purchase your salvation. You are mine!
So, believe in Me and trust Me and commit your life to follow Me.
One step at a time I lead and guide you to where you should go.
“Ask and you shall receive; seek and ye shall find; knock and the door shall be opened to you.
If you don’t ask, seek, or knock, then you are not desperate enough to even try to make a connection with Me.
Everything can’t be brought to you without you making an effort to receive it. And of most importance, with the effort made, you must believe that I see you.
I promised that I would reward those who diligently seek Me with all their heart. If you want to commune with Me, you must come to Me with an open heart like a child believing and with open hands ready to receive from Me.
My Kingdom is full of Love, Joy, Peace, and Right Standing with Me and that of most importance is that you trust Me.
You see the hell that is all around the world in the natural but in My realm, there are Angels all around.
There are many more that are for you than those that are against you. Even though things look desperate and there is much despair you must trust Me.
There will come a day when you look back and say that it was all worth it, all that I had to allow to bring forth my ultimate plan and purpose, that all will come to the saving knowledge of who I AM.
I am the way in the wilderness, the light at the end of a dark tunnel, the breath of much needed fresh air, and the relief that you need after having gone through a hard time.
I AM the way, The Truth, and The Life and the only way to The Father. I AM who I say I AM,” says your LORD.
THE TEST OF TRUE FAITH
September 27, 2023
Assume that you were on an island with nothing there that could sustain you or even deliver you from being there. What would you do?
Would you cry out to your Maker, your Father in heaven, or would you just sit there in a hopeless condition? The first thing that you would say determines whether you have Faith or not.
Do you truly believe that there is a Father in heaven that made you and the world and everything in it?
If you believe in the One true God, then you would know that you are not alone. No matter where you are or no matter what you go through, He is there with you.
Your Heavenly Father sees you as He sees every fine grain of sand upon a beach. He sees every one of them.
Every grain of sand is made up of the energy that He sustains them with. His life penetrates everything in the whole universe. There is nothing that He doesn’t care about and sustains.
So, imagine being alone on an island just like the Apostle John. He was not alone, and God spoke mighty things to him that now affect everyone forever to be able to read them in the Book of Revelations in the Bible. He was not alone, and you will never be alone.
He has known you from before the foundation of time. He knew you before you were even born. He knew the life you would live whether you would make mistakes or not.
He knew who He died for and forever intercedes for them and knows that they would forever be secure in Him.
Yes, this is the day to count the cost to trust Him. Thou He slay me, yet I will trust Him Job said, and God blessed him with an abundance more than what He took away from him.
He gives and He takes away and everything He allows works together for our good.
LOVE THROUGH HARD TIMES
August 31, 2023
Be strong, My child. There has never been a time that you were without My love. Even before the foundation of the earth I knew you and loved you. From the first day of your birth, I looked into your eyes and said, “You’re beautiful and I love you”.
Now is the time you must trust Me with your whole mind, soul, and strength. It is I who will lead you and guide you into all Truth. It is I who will help you make all decisions concerning your future.
You should not trust all men because they will lead you the wrong way. They will rob you. They will abhor you, but I will be closer than a brother. You can always lean on Me, and I will lead you to those you can trust.
You are not alone. I am always with you. Now step aside from all bitterness because of what you face in the natural. Remember that I said all things work together for your good because you are Mine.
You might feel like you have no faith, but I am the faith in you that brings lasting results. You will see fruitfulness in your life. As you age, you will become more like Me. We are One. Lean on Me. Rest in Me. Reach out and touch Me. I am here always by your side.
I am your lasting treasure, the pearl of great price, your redeemer. Jesus is My name.
FREEDOM IN THE SPIRIT
August 26, 2023
Do you ever take the Freedom to do what you want to do and not just do what you feel you should be doing or feel obligated to do?
I had a Dream in which I prayed over a lady, holding her close to comfort her. She was so troubled and perplexed and lost to what she felt she should be doing.
I told her to take the Freedom to do what she wanted to do — like to sit in the shade and drink lemonade, take a bath, relax, read a book, just do what she wanted — and trust that God would lead her in these moments.
He would show her how to draw close to Him, and as she relaxed, He would speak to her.
Many are so bogged down with obligations of what they should be doing that they never allow their true self, emotions, thoughts, or hearts to lead them in what they would like to do. We need to learn to be honest with The LORD.
I don’t like birthdays or holidays, because with them comes obligations — people are expecting to receive from you even if it isn’t the timing of The LORD to bless others.
I try very hard not to do obligations, like in the Church, where you have the holy days of obligation.
Who the Son sets free is free indeed, and Jesus has set us free to do what The Holy Spirit leads us to do.
Many do things to be seen by man, to win friends, to give to get something in return, but God wants us to freely give because we have freely received from Him.
We give out of the love of God flowing through our hearts by His leading. If He doesn’t lead me in times expected, I don’t move.
We must trust The LORD to remove out of our hearts any hindrance to serving others like selfishness, apathy, complacency, unforgiveness, pride, etc., and deliver us of anything causing us to do those things out of escapism, addiction, habits that eat up our time, idleness, vanity, or whatever.
This is the day The LORD has made — let us rejoice and be glad in it, and rest in that He began a good and perfecting work in us, and He is faithful to complete it!
Man likes to control, but Jesus sets us free!
Many have gotten so burned out doing those things that are expected of them, thinking they are serving The LORD, such that they neglect ever having the quiet time with Him that He desires for us to have.
Beware of having works mentality — and rest in His Grace and Truth!
HOLY SPIRIT’S PRESENCE
The Holy Spirit comes upon you soft and gentle like a dove like a soft mist encapsulating you. As you invite Him in, His presence intensifies. You begin to become more aware of His presence, you wait upon Him and rest and allow Him to fill your entire being. He is with you always if you give Him the sanctuary to draw near. He comes gently with His perfect peace, tranquility, Shalom. He wants you to commune with Him, to be aware of His presence, to invite Him to be with you. He makes communing with the Father and the Son a reality. His Word becomes alive. Many do not take the time to seek the Holy Spirit’s presence. You must invite Him to commune with you, to be aware of Him, and to walk with Him. Draw near to Him and He will draw near to you.
COMMUNING WITH OUR COMFORTER
August 22, 2023
“Like a gentle breeze, I will refresh you, because you have made My life complete, because of your love for Me.
I in you and you in Me, we are in complete unity with Father God and His Son Yeshua. Jesus is the name given to Him through the ages.
It is the name that you know Him by, but His true name is Joshua (Hebrew origin meaning “The LORD is my salvation”. Ask and see if He will respond to His name Joshua.
Rest in Me and trust Me to lead you and guide you into all truth.
I will give you the wisdom you need in every situation. Every danger or tragedy I will be there with you strengthening you so that you will not waver but will stand strong.
Rest in Me, that I AM your secure and high tower of refuge and strength. I AM always for you and never against you.
I support you. I cheer you on. Like on a football team, I cheer you on saying you can make it to the end, to the finish line. You have the victory. You can do it!
Waver not in unbelief, for I AM the One Who strengthens your faith, for I AM your Faith.
Now be secure in Me. I AM all that you need now and until the end of time.
Your future residence in heaven can be with you here on earth if you desire it to be. You pray, “Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.” My Kingdom is at hand,” says your LORD and King.
Do you realize how much The Holy Spirit desires to commune with you?
He waits for us to draw near and open to having a warm and loving relationship with Him. Many have communed with the Father and the Son, but without communing with The Holy Spirit, your relationship with God is only partial and not complete not as He would desire us to have.
Our Father is inviting us to have a deeper communion with Him. He wants to introduce you into a dimension of Him that will make what you have intensified. He has the answer to what many have been longing for.
This is the day of His saving Grace. This is the day to receive His Power, Love, and Grace in a greater portion.
This is the beginning of the rest of your life to come alive in Him. A deeper communion is happening just by your asking, “Come, Lord Jesus! The Spirit and the Bride says come. Holy Spirit, walk with me. Talk to Me. Take me deeper!”
FELLOWSHIP OF THE REMNANT
August 20, 2023
Many follow large crowds thinking that is where God is moving — but that isn’t always true.
When you get large crowds of people together, you run into having a mixture of good and bad belief systems, true and false anointings that quench the flow of The Holy Spirit, and it grieves Him as well.
I’ve learned that when there are large crowds, there are many there just to have a good time, chasing after signs, wonders, and miracles, and showing no true respect for the Gifts of The Holy Spirit.
I used to Worship with a praise team when they were practicing before the Service began, and it was so anointed.
I had such freedom to Worship. That is where I received the Gift of Dancing before The LORD.
Yes, when I dance, I am moved by The Holy Spirit, just like when you receive the gift of tongues, your prayer language, prophesy, word of knowledge, healing, etc. I only move when He moves me.
As I was saying I used to like to Worship before the Service began along with the praise team practicing.
When the large crowd started gathering, I noticed that the anointing started to dwindle! And it was disheartening that the tangible presence of The LORD weakened.
The true Worshiper will gather to have an audience of One, the One they live to please and adore.
Many times, the Remnant are those who are part of the Bride of Christ. Jesus died to save all the lost, but some choose to go deeper with Him, who long to be filled to overflowing with who He is.
Just like the Apostle John, who chose to be so close to The LORD that He could hear His heartbeat and feel His burdens because he wanted The LORD to share His deepest thoughts with him.
The invitation is open to all to be part of His Bride.
The LORD loves us all the same and He draws us all close, but we must become sensitive and obedient to His drawing to die out to the flesh and walk in His Spirit.
This invitation is open and available and as we receive it our life begins to become all about Him.
Taste and see that The LORD is good, and He is the only One who can satisfy the inner longings of our hearts and souls.
We need to be filled with His presence so that He can live His life through us displaying His fruit of love to others.
He will guide us to who He wants to minister to.
He does this through His Holy Spirit.
When He walked on the earth, He reached the multitudes — but since He went to the Father, His Spirit dwells within each of us and now, He can reach out to the world through us!
The choice is ours to make whether to sit on the outskirts of what The LORD is doing, or we can reach out through Him to those who need Him the most.
We can stay on the shore of His Glory — or we can dive in and swim in it as a way of life.
Be one of the Remnant Bride, a Worship Warrior, one who loves not their life unto death.
Receive all the promises to the overcomers in The Book of Revelation.
A CALL TO INTIMACY
August 15, 2023
If an individual had a deep and trusting relationship with The LORD Jesus, he would not need anything.
He would not need to strive for money, health, freedom, or relationships. He would have everything needed in Jesus.
He would have His strength, His wisdom, and knowledge to guide him. Most of all he would have the security of His love.
Taste and see that The LORD is so good. His mercies endure forever. His goodness is overwhelmingly beneficial to all who believe that He will be with them for all eternity.
Reach out and touch the hem of His garment and be instantly healed in the Spirit. Sometimes walking out the manifestation takes time, but this time transforms you into His image.
The fire purges out all the dross causing your faith to be pure as gold.
He is changing the way we see Him drawing us deeper into His intimate presence. We are to see Him as our Lover, the One we would give our life for. He received the strength to take our punishment for sin because of His great love for us flowing from His Father’s Heart.
Yes, our Heavenly Father loves us so much as much as He loves His own Son that He gave up for us all.
Receive Him deeper into your heart. He wants to commune with you. He wants to speak deep mysteries to you. He wants to give you divine strategies against the enemy.
He wants to raise you a worship warrior and He wants to roar through you. The lost are desperate to hear that heart cry He is releasing.
Let it be you that releases it this final hour!
COME OUT FROM THEM
August 10, 2023
Ever since the beginning of time, our Father had a plan for mankind and the enemy was out to corrupt it, destroy it, pervert it, and eventually completely rob man of having it wholeheartedly, and that plan was to have communion with Him through The Holy Spirit.
What do you call it when they take away something that was meant to be yours?
You say that you have been robbed.
Most modern-day Churches have a plan and structure that is not meant to be by God’s design.
The plan was developed by the Nicolaitans, where one lords over another. One is lifted, as God.
This type of control is not God’s Plan but was meant by the enemy to destroy the equality of humans, that all is equal at the foot of the Cross, whether male or female, God chooses to use us all.
Do you realize that much God ordained ministry has been destroyed by the twisting of the Scripture through the enemy?
Taste and see that The LORD is good, and He made us one with Him. He is our headship, and we are to submit to His leading.
No man can take His place. He speaks directly to us His Perfect Will for our life, His Wisdom in how to walk in it, and His great Grace to carry it through to fruition.
God will use man to confirm His Will — by two or three in agreement.
No man can intervene and play God, thus robbing us of our communion with The Father.
When one plays God and says he is the one who intervenes between us and The Father, they are breaking up that direct line of Communication and Fellowship with The Father.
Yes, this is the sin of the Nicolaitans that God hates!
We must discern God’s Perfect Will for our life and step away from man-made religion and lordship.
Come out from being under their control!
Go where there is liberty!
Who the Son sets free, is free indeed — and Jesus has set us all free!
ENDURANCE LEADS TO REJOICING
July 27, 2023
“Enduring the hardships of the previous season can feel devastating but remember that everything works together for the good for those who love Me and are called according to My Plan and Purpose.
Remember that I AM working good in you through everything you had to endure.
What the enemy meant for your harm; I AM turning for your good.
You wouldn’t be where you are in Me now if you hadn’t had to endure the hardships.
You have grown dependent upon Me, and you have grown in your faithfulness to My Word.
Those who seek Me with all their heart will find Me. I have made up a plan of endurance for you and you have followed it.
You have kept the pace and have never lost ground even though the enemy has come in as a flood.
Keep pressing in for surely you will break through and see the fruit of your labor. Your roots have grown strong deep into the Truth of My Word and you will never let go through the wind and the waves and all the storms of life.
Since you seek Me with all your heart, My heart is yours in communion. I in you — and you in Me.
We are One, and never will be separated. A cord of three strands will never be broke. That is meant for the Father, the Son, and His bride brought together by His Spirit. (Ecclesiastes 4:12)
Be encouraged and be a giver of My life and love to others.
Encourage others who are going through the battle and feel like giving up.
Share your Testimony of My Faithfulness in your life. That is why I led you through the torrent so you could strengthen others.
This is the time and the hour to rejoice. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your Redemption is drawing near.” (Luke 21:28)
DISROBE TO PUT ON
July 11, 2023
Some trust in their own righteousness whether they are doing enough for The Kingdom, but God wants us to take off the filthy rags of our own self-righteousness to put on the royal robe of His righteousness that He is giving us.
Yes, we are royalty when we walk in His Will and Ways.
Even when we die to our own will, enabling His will to be done, we are releasing garments of death to put on garments of resurrection power, His light and glory.
Jesus wants to live His Life through us — but all we must do is disrobe who we are, to put on who He is.
Warfare
The same with Warfare. We must disrobe our way of battling the enemy.
The battle is The LORD’s. We cannot fight using carnal weapons. We must take off what we feel or see and our way of doing things to fight so that we can put on His armor.
When we put on The LORD Jesus, we are ready for battle fully covered. We take off to put on only what He gives us to wear, and we must trust fully in it.
We are not to lean on our own understanding but put on the mind of Christ. Take off our righteousness to put on our breastplate which is His righteousness.
Take off half-truths and mixture to gird our loins with the Truth of His Word.
We are to walk in the preparation of the gospel of peace. We cannot win the lost to Him using our own agenda of manipulation.
We are to only speak what He gives as our Sword and stand behind His shield of knowing we have all that He promised through His saving Grace.
Put on The LORD Jesus
The bottom line is we must die out, take off and put on The LORD Jesus to walk in His Ways enabling Him to live big through us.
Are you walking in the Light glistening in His Glory as warriors or are you settling for less than the best by walking in what some say is the best… religious works?
We are to be an army of righteous light bearers. Take off all human self-effort and put on His Glory.
I will rejoice greatly in the LORD, My soul will exult in my God; For He has clothed me with garments of salvation, He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. Isaiah 61:10
OUR TRUE IDENTITY
July 4, 2023
As we walk alone with The LORD in the cool of the day, we ask Him to show us His Ways, so that He can conform us into His image and likeness.
What does it mean to be in His image and likeness?
It is to allow Him to reflect His character through us that others can get to know and love Him.
If we don’t allow His Glory to radiate through us, we are depriving others of knowing His Presence.
The LORD would say, “If you really knew Me, you would know The Father, for we are one.” (John 14:7) Jesus only did what He saw His father doing.
We are to be one with The Father and each other, not putting up a wall of separation. Jesus’ Prayer is that we would be one as He and the Father are one.
We are to develop a deep loving and trusting relationship with The LORD, where we allow the walls to come down enabling Him to heal our hearts.
To allow the river of His love to flow through, us we must become vulnerable to Him enabling Him to truly see us and not hiding behind a veil.
He wants to cast down the lying images the enemy has cast before us that we have bought into.
Jesus wants to reveal to us our true identity in Him. When this truly happens, there will be no false pretense of being one with Him.
It will truly become our reality. Then we will surely see more signs, wonders, and miracles. His river of love will be free to flow through us.
BASK IN HIS PRESENCE
June 9, 2023
Basking in the presence of the Lord is what I long to do more. Just to rest in Him being thankful that we do have some quiet time to do this.
So many people are unable to get quiet with Him or to have any peace in the natural realm because of chaos in their life, either being in the war zone or facing serious types of persecution.
We must take advantage of the time that we have and not waste it on vain trivial things that amount to nothing in our growth with Jesus.
Taste and see that the Lord is good. Blessed is the man who trusts in Him. To be able to trust Him we need to know Him and spend time with Him to experience His faithfulness.
Spend quality time with Him for He longs to spend much time with you.
A SPIRITUAL AWAKENING
June 6, 2023
Taken from Psalm 42:7
Our Heavenly Father wants us to cry out to Him when being overwhelmed with trying times. The deep within our spirit man cries out to the Deep within Him.
When it feels like all to be heard is a calamity, the waves, and breakers crushing over us, we pray for a spiritual breakthrough. When going through trying times, we cry out for a breakthrough in our spirit that the walls fall, and the River of Life flows forth out of our spirit.
It takes trying times to get us to truly cry out to Him and this is what causes true growth…one breaker after another…one waterspout of breakthrough after another. We are being taken into a spiritual awakening realizing He is there with us until the end of time.
MORNING WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT
June 2, 2023
Every step that you take and every breath that you make I am with you even to the end of time. I will examine your heart and align it to mine so that I can live My life through you…your will aligns with Mine.
I fill you with My presence and give you My strength and wisdom to face the day. I fill you with joy and peace and give you an understanding heart so you can confront every situation with My lovingkindness.
This is the day I have made, and you will greatly rejoice in it. Because you seek Me first all things shall be yours. All your needs will be met now and always.
SECURE IN GOD’S LOVE
May 26, 2023
Jesus is the alpha and the omega, the beginning, and the end. All things are held together by the power of His love. If you removed His love, nothing could exist.
He is the Creator, the One who initiated Creation, and the One who maintains it. All things are made up by His being. Every fiber of life in our bodies and even in matter exists because of His life in it.
Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. How can the enemy ever think he has control over anything when he himself is under The LORD Jesus’ control?
Jesus created him perfect, and Satan chose to go his own way through pride and jealousy. He wanted to be the firstborn son. Out of retaliation he chose to steal, kill, and destroy Creation.
Taste and see that The LORD is good. Nothing will ever take place without The LORD Jesus allowing it.
Jesus is the “Firstborn from the dead” and evermore will be. He conquered death, the grave, and the punishment of hell. When we follow Jesus, we follow and receive His abundant life.
The father of lies, death, and destruction is under our feet. We have victory over all the works of darkness.
We are of the Kingdom of Light and we are to take a stand for it. It has no hold over us when we follow the Light.
THE RED CORD OF REDEMPTION
May 21, 2023
On our anniversary the Lord blessed me in a special way.
I had been very nervous taking Communion at Church and I didn’t want to go to church today because of having to take Communion. I have left churches and not taken it at all! The last time I was so afraid that I went to my knees and my hands were shaking that I couldn’t even drink my cup! It isn’t that I felt unworthy and afraid of the Lord. I know because of His blood shed for my sins I am worthy. This is a part of social anxiety being afraid of doing anything around people and for some reason especially eating!
I had been seeking the Lord on this and asked Him if this social anxiety was pride and sure enough it is pridefulness trying to preserve itself. The teaching today was on the Blood of Jesus, and I knew I needed to hear it. It was about the red cord of redemption all the way through the Bible. The way they gave the Communion was unique. They had two people hold a red cord on each side of the church where we were to walk up the aisle as we held on to the red cord. It felt secure to me to hold on to the cord all the way up to the table to receive the bread and then across to the other table to get the cup.
I was not nervous and was very blessed to take the elements. When I got to my seat, I felt a tightening start in the pit of my stomach, and I knew it was deliverance starting. They were playing worship music and we were singing more songs about the Blood of Jesus. Then I felt a release and freedom!
Glory to God! He gave me the grace to obey His will by stepping out by faith and coming to church because I wanted to hear the teaching and I trusted Him to take me through Communion! Lee brought Levi up and we all received it, and Levi was very cooperative.
Thank you, Jesus, for my deliverance from pridefulness (social anxiety)!!!! Pride will bind you up completely to fear because you are not serving Christ but the enemy! He is the father of lies and pridefulness. Many are bound to medications that cause more bondage. Thank you, Lord, for setting me from them also!!!
GOD HAS YOUR BACK
May 17, 2023
A word to remind you that He is faithful.
They that wait upon the Lord shall restore their strength. They shall mount up with wings as eagles. They shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint. Teach us, Lord, to wait. Isaiah 40:31
It is so important that we wait upon the Lord and not go off to do what we want to handle our desperate situations. The enemy wants us to panic and not have peace so we can’t hear what God wants us to do. The Lord says to be still and know that He is God and that He is in control over all that we face. We are to rest that good will come forth out of every negative circumstance. Rest assured that He will not allow us to be tempted beyond what we are able to bear.
When we panic and run ahead with our own plan of escape, we usually end up out of God’s will but even so, He will also turn that for our good. Because God is for us no matter who or what comes against us, He will be right there fighting them off.
All our foes have been defeated at the Cross. All our sins have been forgiven and all our diseases He heals. Yes, rest assured that all His promises are yes, and Amen. We are to prosper and be in health as our soul prospers. Amen!
THE TEN GATES OF NEHEMIAH
May 10, 2023
Many try to keep The Ten Commandments, which no man can live by The Law.
If you break one of the laws of the Old Testament, you are guilty of breaking all of it, and the penalty of it is death.
That is why they continually covered their sins with blood sacrifices. Jesus is the One and only sacrifice that is eternally received for the forgiveness of all our sins, granting us eternal life with Him.
I’ve been studying The Ten Gates of Nehemiah, and it is the spiritual growth of a believer in a nutshell.
It is amazing how they all flow together, and if we strive to make sure all these Gates are strong in our life, we will never go wrong.
It is like putting on our Armor because we will be putting on The LORD Jesus in obedience to Him.
We are to make sure these Gates are strong in our life. One Gate flows into the next in our growth with Him.
First, you have The Sheep Gate.
This is where we first get saved. We become a new creation. The old nature is passed away and we become brand new receiving a fresh new start.
Second, you come to The Fish Gate.
This is where we share the Good News that Jesus died for our sins; reconciling us to the Father, cleansed by The Blood of the Lamb. We receive the call of reconciliation, to evangelize.
Third you come to The Old Gate.
We are to return to a life walking by Faith and Obedience to The LORD, being totally delivered from religious works from the religious system.
Fourth you come to The Valley Gate.
This is where we go through trials and tribulations. We learn to allow The LORD to live through us. When we are weak, He becomes our strength.
Fifth you come to The Dung Gate.
The LORD purges us of all the dross by the fire of His love getting us ready for what is coming.
The LORD prepares us for spiritual growth by delivering us from the legal rights of the enemy.
Sixth you come to The Fountain Gate.
This is where many fall short and do not understand what our call is to be. We are to be baptized with His Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues and moving in the gifts of His Spirit.
This is where we receive the power to fully live our life with Christ living through us. The religious spirit binds most from coming to this Gate.
Seventh you come to The Water Gate.
This is where we are made strong being washed by the water of His Word.
We are to dive in and allow our minds to be renewed. Even though we are a new creation we must learn to think like Jesus thinks. We receive the mind of Christ, through His word.
Eighth you come to The Horse Gate.
This is where we learn to be active in spiritual warfare with the enemy pulling down strongholds over our own life, our community, our nation, and the world.
Ninth you come to The East Gate.
We are ready and looking toward the return of The LORD Jesus Christ.
Tenth and the final gate is The Miphkad Gate. (This is also called The Inspection Gate.)
This is where we come before The LORD to gain or lose rewards. This is what we need to be conscious of.
Even though we are saved by Faith and can never lose it, we can lose rewards. If we continue to do willful sin, or neglect to do what we are called to do, we can lose rewards.
We will be rewarded for good works of evangelizing which is our main call and focus as a believer in Christ.
How can we share The LORD Jesus Christ with others, sharing His Good News [Gospel] if we don’t know Him personally?
It is more than just praying here and there, and reading The Word occasionally. It is about communing with Him, really knowing Him, walking with Him, and allowing Him to live through us.
The Great Commission is not an option — it is a command.
We are to die out to the selfishness of the Christian life, but to be self-giving by caring that others receive salvation.
A PRAYER TO PREPARE HEARTS
May 9, 2023
We must pray that those we reach out to, that their hearts will be open to discipleship.
That is where many lose out because many in The Church do not teach, especially on occult deliverance, to take away Satan’s legal right to their lives.
Many in The Church believe that those of the occult are gifted from God, like psychics, fortune tellers, Ouija Board, horoscopes, new age, etc.
Any involvement opens the door to Satan!
We must renounce the involvement, ask God for forgiveness, command Satan out and shut the door to him in Jesus’ Name.
This is a simple step to freedom, but many react to this because Satan fights to keep them bound.
Father, prepare hearts to receive the full package…. Salvation, Deliverance, the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues.
In Jesus’ Name, raise up warriors who will carry The Truth like a Sword against the enemy, and keep their armor on at all times.
Help us to be sensitive to Your Leading, and speak when and only what You would have us say.
Holy Spirit, you are our good Teacher and Provider of all that we need. Make us hungry for Your Presence and Your Word, and make it come alive and active in our lives, in Jesus’ Name.
Help us to Worship and shout and dance upon injustice.
Set The Church ablaze with The Fire of Your Love, and wake us to the seriousness of the hour.
It is not party time — but Prayer Time.
You can get more to come for food and having fun, than to pray against the enemy’s tactics.
Yes, this is the time and the hour to wake up and take action, and do what God called us to do.
We didn’t come into The Kingdom just to have Fire Insurance, but to care that others have the same and more!
Many feel they are still in preparation for their call to evangelize. How many years does it take?
That should be the next step to share what God did for us and be sensitive to His leading.
There has been a mighty hindrance in many people’s lives from day one!
This is the day God wants to set the captives free!
IN BEING FULLY ASSURED
May 5, 2023
Rest in the faithfulness of the Father’s love. Increase the expectancy that you are about to receive a bumper crop of blessings. You are at the threshold of having a breakthrough that will change your whole life.
This is the day that I am calling you aside to receive all that I promised you to have in My word that you are to prosper and be in health as your soul prospers.
Change the way that you look at your circumstances. What the enemy sets up to distract you I am using even that to bring you good in preparation for your future.
All things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His plan and purpose. Romans 8:28
COME BE WITH ME
April 30, 2023
We all need to have a place where we can go be with the Lord…a special meeting place where He can bless us with His presence.
He says, come apart from the cares of the world and the turmoil the enemy brings and be with Me.
Bask in My loveliness for I love your presence.
Sit by streams of Living Water and drink up and be refreshed and recharged.
Don’t allow the enemy to steal the joy and peace that you have in Me.
All your sins are forgiven, and you are beautiful and most lovely to Me.
Yes, I am the One that loves your presence. I never grow tired of seeing your face or feeling your embrace.
Come be with Me!
END TIMES PREPARATION
April 26, 2023
Be still and know I AM God. Know that I am faithful to complete what I have begun in your life. You may not understand what I allow you to go through but just know that all things I allow will work together for your good for I am a good God. Even though some things don’t look good when you are going through them just know for sure that the outcome will be good.
This is the end of all times, and I will begin to do a quick work in completing the preparation I have begun in you preparing you for your call of service. I will accelerate the times and seasons in your life. Soon and very soon you will begin to see an outburst of My glory. You will begin to see signs and wonders and will be a part of it.
Assume you had a short amount of time to complete your day’s duties. What should you do? Seek Me first and My kingdom and I will speed up the time even enabling you to get done in half the amount of time what you need to do.
Have you ever heard of a time warp? I can stop time enabling you to do things you would not be able to do in the natural. I am sure you have already experienced this preventing danger from happening. I’ve done it once I can do it again for multitudes even transporting them from danger.
Look up for it is sooner than you think. If I am for you, who can be against you, says your God.
RETURN TO YOUR FIRST LOVE
April 25, 2023
Return to your first love. Rekindle the flame that you first had when you turned your life over to Me to fill you with My love and glory.
This is the day of the great falling away…the apostasy that is based upon justification of sin and compromise, lukewarmness, and apathy.
Return to Me and I will fill you to overflowing with who I AM and all I want you to be, and it will affect eternity with My saving grace.
To those who might feel discouraged with their walk with Me, they feel they aren’t growing fast enough. I want to reward you for your faithfulness for your commitment to Me even though you might not see much fruit.
I am causing your roots to go deeper and your flame to burn brighter and there will come a day when you will be set ablaze with My love and faithfulness and signs and wonders will follow you because you are grounded in My word.
What you will speak forth will be My words and what you will see will be My glory flowing forth, says your God, the Holy One of Israel.
YOUR TIME, YOUR MONEY
April 25, 2023
Some say we should give 1/10 of their gross to the church offering, but I don’t believe that is the word for today. If we must pay taxes on our gross, then money wise it is not all ours to spend. Jesus said to give to Caesar what is his and give to the Kingdom what is due to it. I believe everything belongs to Jesus and if He says to give more than 1/10th, then we are not bound to the 10 percent.
Also, our time is like money. When the poor lady put two mites in the offering, she gave all that she had, not just a tenth! If we give the full amount of time that we have that we could give to Him, God sees it as a full portion of our time. If we have three hours we could give to quiet time with Him, and we only give Him fifteen minutes, then how do you think He feels about that? If we only have fifteen minutes, and give that, then it is a full portion of our time and He will honor that.
Think wisely about how we give unto the Lord, monetarily and time-wise! Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, then all these things will be yours…healing, prosperity, and most of all and the most important is in knowing Him!!!!
EMBRACE THE LIVING WORD
April 24, 2023
“Study My Word. Engulf yourself with My Living Word. Delight yourself in what you see and hear, for I AM doing a new thing in you, My People.
Today you must take My Word and saturate yourself with it. Take it and eat it for it is your life’s sustenance and strength will come as you take it into your substance and being.
Taste and see, for I The LORD, AM good for you and to you. I will be all that you need, for in it, you will grow into who I called you to be.
In it, you will delight in your Calling, for you are a strong and mighty warrior of My Light and Truth.
Embrace Me! Love Me! Spend much time to get to know Me, and as you do, you will become all I called you to be,” says your Yah, your LORD, and King!
THE QUIET TIME EMBRACE
April 14, 2023
Seek the Lord while He may be found for there will come a day when the seeking becomes limited. That precious quiet time you now have with the Lord Jesus will become disturbed. Treasure this time now and do not allow it to be taken away by vain distractions that amount to nothing to your spiritual growth.
Know the Lord Jesus not just to know about Him. Commune with Him closely. Like John did. Lay your head upon His breast and listen to His heartbeat. Learn of His ways and walk in them of humility and trust believing that He will keep His word to you. All His promises are yes and Amen.
Most of all seek to know His heart, what He cares about, His burdens. Draw close to Him and intercede with Him until you see fulfillment by faith. If all seek the burden of His heart and pray through, much will be accomplished. Too often people pray what they see as a burden and pray through what they see should take place. But I say today that is not the will of God to pray your burden but His.
Be still and know He is God. Know Him as your God. Delight in Him. Rejoice in His victory over sin, death, and the grave. Live the crucified life and have His resurrection power flowing freely through you. Yes, this is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.
LIFE IS A CHOICE
March 15, 2023
After having gone through a very uncomfortable situation, I felt led to write the following.
I want you to determine in your heart what your next step of action will be. Will it be a reaction to what you have been through that was not comfortable, or will you just die out to that reaction and go on trusting in the Faithfulness of The Father to bring good out of it?
Life is a choice, to die out to the flesh and walk in the Spirit.
Many choose to just react, and allow the enemy to destroy whatever good was accomplished in their life by giving in to his lies.
Feelings are unreliable. You cannot trust them. What people think of you doesn’t matter if you just try to overcome and be yourself whether you are accepted or not, you must accept yourself.
You feel belittled because that is what you see in yourself. You feel humiliated because what you try to hide was exposed.
So, you showed your weakness. Is that the end for you or the beginning?
It is your choice to make, no one else can make it for you.
A GOD ENCOUNTER
February 27, 2023
I shared a hug from the Lord with others!!!
I experienced something I never had before. I was at church and a lady, and her husband walked by me and suddenly, I felt arms reaching out to hug them. They weren’t mine! I thought was it my spirit man wanting to hug them? No, it was Jesus wanting to hug them! I didn’t respond immediately like I should have because I was just trying to figure out what had happened!
We must be so sensitive to the leading of the Lord to allow Him to live His life through us. He wants to use our arms to love others, to use our hands to heal people! As soon as I could I hugged the lady and her husband, and she thanked me because she really needed that encouragement and support from the Lord especially after hearing that the Lord really wanted to give them the hug!!!
Praise the Lord! I pray that we all become so sensitive to His leading, to never quench the flow of His spirit, and become so obedient to His heart’s desire immediately.
Lord, help us to become so sensitive to Your heart’s desire to use us to share your love with others. Change us by giving us these types of encounters with you… life-changing encounters. We need you to move through us to touch the lost with Your love!!! We want to see your signs follow those who believe…all of them, to raise the dead, heal the sick, blind eyes opened, ears able to hear, and lepers healed, delivered, and restored. Use us, Lord, Jesus! Live Your life through us I pray in Your name, Jesus!!
SPIRITUAL CLUTTER
February 17, 2023
I go through seasons where I want to go through everything and get rid of all that appears to be clutter.
I love the feeling that I receive after having done this. It is almost like coming into a clear and clean wide-open space, less to have to deal with, all the excess baggage gone.
I’ve noticed that during certain times of extreme stress, I start to desire to go through this “clearing out” and I asked The LORD what this is.
I felt The LORD say that I want to come to the place of that clarity, that cleared out peace in my mind, emotions, and spirit where I AM one-on-one with Him and all the emotional, mental, and spiritual baggage or clutter is gone and having that wide open clear space with only He is filling it.
Our mind, heart, soul, and spirit must be detached from all that robs our peace and joy with our LORD and Savior. Jesus is our Rock, our firm foundation.
He is all that we need, and He wants to clear out all the spiritual clutter, all that stands in the way of us having that pure intimacy and trust with Him.
Allow Him to purge out all the dross with the fire of His Love and make our hearts pure so that only He can suffice that inner desire for life that only He can fill.
Come to the end of hanging on to those empty vain distractions and latch on to His Love and allow Him to fill you to overflowing so that His love touches everything and everyone in your life.
Be clean as He is clean and pure and full of grace, truth, and love.
Come to the end of self which only brings death and receive the abundance of life in Him.
Come to that clear and open space in Jesus.
GETTING OUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT
February 6, 2023
If I look at my kitchen, I can see that I am putting other things first besides what is most important and that is keeping my kitchen clean so I can make healthy meals for my family.
If I put Christ first and His righteousness, then all these things will be added unto you.
What do you struggle with? Victory over that area is yours if you obey His command to put Him first. He keeps His promise if you obey Him.
Is it being overweight? Then work on temperance, exercise, and take care of His temple.
Is it relationships? Then die out to the flesh, put others first, and love one another.
Is it temptation? Then believe and receive that we won’t be allowed to be tempted beyond what we are able to bear and that a way of escape would be provided.
Look for that escape whether to just crucify the flesh or literally leave that area of temptation. Pray to not be tempted or vulnerable to temptation in that area and to love the Lord more than it.
This is the day God is calling us to get our house in order literally or just to get our priorities straight.
Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you but most of all pray that you will have the peace that passes all understanding and that the joy of the Lord will be your strength. Selah.
TO HEAL THE LEPER
January 30, 2023
Stretch out your hand and touch the leper. In the natural what do you think will happen? Whether you have faith in it or not, you will be taking a step of faith trusting that the Lord would intervene in a mighty way to heal the sick and to deliver the oppressed.
This is the time when many withdrew to a quiet place to listen to what the Lord has to say about when He laid hands on the sick and watched them recover. Those who are believers in Christ Jesus have the same authority as when He walked the earth. He lives His life through us today if we let Him.
Taste and see that the Lord is good and that He has mighty power that He wants to flow through us to do the same miracles as He did and even greater since He went to the Father.
The Father sent us His Son and His Son sent us His Spirit to be with us to lead and guide us on the path He wants us to follow.
Remember that not only He has the power to heal the sick, but we do also. Remember that His word flows in power with signs and wonders following it.
Reach out and touch the hem of His garment, receive, and with the same stroke of your hand, heal the leper.
EXPERIENCE TRUE LIFE INTIMACY
January 28, 2023
“Let Me take you on an adventure.
From the beginning to the end, I want to tell you a story that escalates and rises and falls from ebb to tide with the expectancy of good things that are to happen.
Taste and see that I AM good and that I only provide what is good for you. Even though at times things don’t appear to be good or feel like they are good, they are good for you.
Taste and see that I love you. Experience My love to the fullest measure. Swim in Me and My Love will overtake you and splash onto others so that they can begin to experience My love also.
Escalate to the fullest measure My caring for you. I care for you. I take care of you even though at times you don’t experience My presence I AM with you.
Experience Me like you are experiencing a vacation. Be thrilled with My Presence and all that I want to do with you. Experience Me. Live with Me and allow Me to live through you.
Yes, taste and see Me. Be thrilled with Me for I AM life abundantly. Sit along the seashore and experience the waves, and the scents and feel the breeze, and see the colors of the sky and the ocean. Experience Me like you would experience the seas for I AM the Creator of it all.
Open your eyes and see Me, feel Me, taste and see Me for I AM your life breath. I give you life. Live in Me. Experience Me.”
COME, TASTE, AND SEE
January 21, 2023
The LORD says, “Taste and see that The LORD is good; blessed is the man who keeps his eyes on Me and follows Me wherever I might lead.
I want to take you to places you have never been in Me where you are able to feast deeply upon the Truths that you need and desire to have.
I have those places in My Word that will bring you nourishment and strength and take you to where you need to be in Me to have strong faith, where you will never waver in doubt or unbelief.
No matter what you may face in life you will stand strong with head set like flint against the evil one with immovable faith.
Taste and see that I AM a good God and I want to take you to exciting places and give you the abundant life that I have promised you to have but you must step out and take it.
You must get out into the world and find Me leading you to those who need Me. I want to show you Signs, Wonders, and Miracles as you step out in faith laying your hands upon the sick and watching them recover.
Yes, I want to take you to those places in Me you have never been.
I want to reveal Myself to you.
I want you to really know Me intimately.
I want to reveal to you deep secrets of My heart.
Taste and see that I AM good and that I Love you and want you to experience My Love, not just know about it.
Many are like those who are on the outside looking in, and not really experiencing My Love.
I want to take you deep into the recesses of My Heart, where you can bathe in My Love, where you can swim in My Love, and frolic and play in My Love.
I want you to enjoy Me, and experience Me to the fullest measure.
Yes, taste and see that I AM good. Love Me, enjoy Me, walk and talk with Me.
I didn’t just come to save you. I have come that you may savor Me, enjoy Me to the fullest measure,” says your LORD and King.
THOUGHTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA
January 19, 2023
The first “friend” I thought I made online I looked forward to connecting with each day because I thought she was my friend. Wrong? She was here one day and gone forever the next. That shocked me because I thought I had made a real friend, but I didn’t have a phone number, address, or anything. Gone!
What are we connecting with…imaginary friendships that we draw “likes” from. We don’t know these people from Adam, and we are reaping affirmations from them either building up our egos or even pride. This is dangerous.
What is our intent with social media? Is it a distraction from the One we say we love and who longs to connect with us, but we are too busy scrolling looking for something or someone to lift us up for the moment? Like the little reels on Facebook…they can be addicting, and they are meant to be by the enemy.
And then you have the online games that truly can be a major distraction and escape from reality like City Ville. Boy, did I fall into that trap long ago, and Candy Crush! How can we fall into these traps of addiction so easily?
How often do we pick up our phone looking for yes, a high…something to lift us up just like junk food, sugar, TV, etc.? I’ve seen couples parked at the park both on their phone when they could be walking and enjoying each other and nature! I’ve seen this in restaurants where all at the table is on their phone and one is left sitting alone!! So sad!
So much God gave outside of technology that we allow becoming unappreciated because of all the distractions from the enemy. This is the time and the hour to cast down all the distractions and connect with the One who loves us.
Facebook is good to connect with those you truly know to share experiences, family pics, etc.. because this isn’t taking the place of a real relationship. It is only enhancing it. Some use Facebook to escape from having real relationships because it temporarily fills the need for having some connection with others. Like with me I’ve been isolated for so long caring for Levi that I am not comfortable with one-on-one relationships.
I’m not saying it all is bad, but it can be. Those who use Facebook to minister to one another can really bless each other standing in agreement and praying to encourage each other, but even that can be bad for some who use it as a platform to be lifted with spiritual pride. We must watch our motives and not compete and become jealous.
We must be real and honest with ourselves and watch the motives of our hearts. We must commit everything to God and ask Him to burn up by the fire of His love all that is not of Him in our life. We need to connect with the One who loves us and wants to commune with us and cast down vain imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. 2 Cor 10:5
And then we have “selfies” and that can become another “ouch” if we truly look at what we are doing! I have never taken so many pictures of myself before I got a cell phone. I hated to take my picture! I know one thing when you walk with the Lord, and He sets you free your countenance changes. I’ve noticed that when I take my picture and am amazed when I look good! I give God all the glory, but at the same time, I post more pictures of myself alone than with me and others because I don’t do a lot with others. How is all this for transparency?
God wants us to take an honest look at our lives and allow Him to change what is not like Him. Every day is a new beginning to yield and be more like Him.
THE HOUR TO REJOICE
January 14, 2023
Now is the time The LORD Jesus is calling His People to attention so that they may stand strong against the enemy for he is coming in like a flood to try to wear them down physically and to rob them of joy which is their strength.
They battle discouragement and even fatigue, but most are standing on the Word with head set like flint against the enemy to not back down.
They are pressing in standing on the promises of God and even though they have reason to waver in faith because of natural circumstance they choose to trust The LORD. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but God delivers them of them all.
We are to count our blessings and not allow the enemy to rob them by distracting us from the faithfulness of The LORD.
Many are so bogged down with their problems they can’t enjoy what God gives them. We must choose to smell the roses and breathe the fresh air and take a walk and look around at nature.
Many allow the enemy to tempt them to eat foods and drink that can harm their bodies. Do we live to eat, or do we eat healthy in order to live?
That is the question. What do we live for… The LORD — or our belly?
I pray that we use God’s wisdom and to know His perfect will and have the grace to walk in it.
Yes, this is a brand-new day, a new beginning. We have the choice to choose life or death. Speak life over every situation and everyone you know. Death and life are in the power of the tongue.
We will rejoice because this is the day God has made and He is a good God, and He is for us.
BRIDE WITH BOOTS ON
December 7, 2022
As we walk with The LORD Jesus, we must come to the place of having holy intimacy with Him able to go deep into His Secret Place, quietly listening to His Voice to receive His marching orders.
Many do not come to the place of maturity where they are able to just bask in His Presence, laying between His arms resting listening to His heartbeat and able to feel His burden that He wants to share with us.
Worshiping Him is a romance of His Love flowing between the Bride and Bridegroom. The Holy Spirit wants to get involved connecting the two in such a deep way where He guides words of affirmation and praise to flow between as holy kisses where His Word just comes alive and flows strengthening the heart and illuminating with His light revelation of His Grace and Truth.
Yes, after being able to be strengthened with His love and grace, He pours out Truth as a mighty Sword empowering us to go out to battle with Him and yes, from the same place deep within His secret place.
This is where you see the victory manifest in your life and in the life of others that He had a burden for. Situations He wants to see changed where His Kingdom reigns over the kingdom of darkness takes place here also.
We can’t go off by ourselves battling what we think needs to be torn down in the enemy’s camp. We need to be equipped by the power of His love having put on His armor.
Yes, we need to have a close walk with The LORD Jesus. He is our Captain and by The LORD alone are we equipped.
Draw close in the secret place. Do not allow anything to distract you. Be hidden in Him where the enemy cannot reach you. Be still and know He is your God.
ONLY THROUGH GOD’S LOVE
November 28, 2022
Jesus, fan the flame of Your love in my heart. Be still and know Me, God says.
It’s not about dos and don’ts but about loving God with all your being. The fullness of your capacity to love comes only through Him. We love Him because He first loved us.
You can’t love yourself if you can’t love Him with all your mind, soul and strength. Loving yourself comes only through knowing His love for you. If you can’t love Him wholeheartedly, you can’t love yourself and if you can’t love yourself, you can’t love others.
He wants us to lose ourselves in His love, to dive in and swim, and be washed clean of all that you think you are, either good or bad. Be clean, be holy and be set apart in loving Him. He is the answer, the great escape from all things that can pull you down. Be free and let Him teach you how to fly as a bird high above all powers of darkness.
What is ecstasy but being able to just bask in His warm embrace. He wants us to draw close and know Him. You can’t truly know Him unless you are able to love Him deeply.
Be still and draw deep. Breathe in His goodness and grace. Listen closely for He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
Let Him live His life through you. Jesus in us the hope of glory.
A PRAYER FOR THE SAINTS
November 27, 2022
Take me to the place where I belong, the place under the Shadow of Your wing, where I am to remain comforted and made safe, because I am close to Your Heart.
I can hear Your Heart beating with Love for me, and me alone You would have died for.
I must remember that You Love me with the same intensity as You Love your own Son.
Can I even fathom that, or even understand a minute portion of that love?
If I truly did, I would not be the same person. I would never struggle with unworthiness or shame or inadequacy. I would see myself as You see me to be that beautiful and lovely and overcoming Bride of Christ.
Open our eyes up to the Truth of Your word and make it come alive and life changing. We are tired of the same day in and day out without You moving mightily in our life.
We want to see the lame walk, the blind see, the mute speaks, the death raised up, those made whole by Your power and grace.
We want to have the expectancy of these signs follow those who believe. So many are reduced to praying Your Will and expected You to move always through the arm of the flesh and not just by Your power alone.
In other countries that must trust wholeheartedly everything in their life to You, they see the miracles, signs, and wonders, but here in America, many are blinded by the lights, the distractions, those things they trust in solely, and then say they love You.
When do you get time in their life, when everything else dies down and when there is no more strength left to give?
Yes, I am talking about ministry that distracts and robs time with you and also holidays they say are of You. We are to be like Martha and Mary in Your perfect balance… sit at Your feet and draw close and also to go out with Your life lived through us.
Yes, this is the time of the last days when many are falling away through compromise and distraction.
Compromise can come by being too busy with what they think is of You and also by going after the lust of the flesh.
You have come to set the captives free to be One with You to delight in Your secret place and just rest by still waters and feel the cool breeze.
Help us to take the time to enjoy Your Presence and all that You have given us through nature. Yes, open our eyes so that we can see and experience You, fully in Jesus’ Name I pray.
THE SECRET PLACE OF GOD
November 27, 2022
What is The Secret Place of the Most High?
How do we stay in this place?
Having dug for gold I found revelation in His Word.
Those who dwell in the resting place of God, the place of total obedience and trust having crucified the flesh with all its lusts, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, and walk in the place of God’s resurrection power, Jesus living through us, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty where no weapon formed against you shall ever prosper.
What is The Sabbath Rest?
What is The Seventh Day Sabbath Rest?
Is it about taking one day and setting it aside to put God first and resting from all work and doing what He says — for one day? No, it is far above all that!
The Ten Commandments were for those that needed to be prompt to obey God. Jesus fulfilled the Ten Commandments by having us focus on the heart rather than the outward acts of obedience. He made it a deeper heart issue of obeying Him. We have become bond servants of love to Him.
Sabbath is a lifestyle of obeying and trusting The LORD because He has brought us into the Seventh Day life. How can we just take one day and call it the Sabbath when He wants all of our day and every day to serve, love, and obey Him.
The same principle comes with keeping the tithe. When under the Law it is ten percent. Under God’s grace everything belongs to God. Whatever He says to “Give to His Kingdom,” we are to give. We are not limited to ten percent!
To a person who is sold out to loving The LORD, the Law is bondage, because it limits our love and service to Him. It limits His will to a law. We are under Grace and free to serve Him wholeheartedly!
Jesus came to fulfill the Law by opening it up to be a matter of the heart and submission of love and not of works.
We are made One with the Father, because of the obedience of His Son’s death upon the Cross. Jesus in us, the hope of glory! We obey Him because we love Him and are not told to obey by a strict regimen of outer actions.
We rest in His finished work and are brought into His Seventh Day of Grace, Truth, and Love. We are not under the Law, but are under His Grace. It is finished!
LAST DAYS BRIDAL CRY
November 23, 2022
Deep calls unto deep at the sound of thy waterspouts. Out of Your heart flows Living Water.
Taste and see that the Lord is goodness and mercy forevermore. Watch and see what the Lord will do if you indulge of His Kiss, His love, grace and truth. Will you be able to anticipate what He will do if you spend intimate quiet time waiting upon Him?
Watch and pray. Wait to see what He shares of the burden of His heart. Do you really want to experience what He wants to share of it?
One moment with Him is what He desires for us to draw close and know Him, not just to know about Him, but to truly know Him and truly experience fellowshipping communing with Him.
Draw deep for His Kiss is pure and life changing. Reach out and touch Him. He wants you to touch His face and really know of His love for you.
Do you really want the satisfaction of having been with the Lord to meet with Him and touch His heart and had Him touch your heart? Give Him your undivided love and devotion.
I want to truly be with You, Lord, to where I am changed and ready to face the day with Your grace to overcome the trials of the day to where they don’t break My communion with You, where your love and grace continually flows like streams of Living Water.
LAW OR GRACE
November 19, 2022
He who enters The Kingdom of God must remain Holy, as He is Holy.
Remain set apart from the world and its ways.
Pagan practices have become a way of life, even in The Church. They have come into The Church as a way of life, because that is what they have been taught. It has become second nature, the only way they know.
When you begin to learn the Truth, it seems Greek to you, unnatural and unresponsive. Because it is unnatural to most, you turn back to what is comfortable rather than pressing in through the transition to where the Truth becomes natural.
No one wants to be in a place that feels uncomfortable, set apart as strange, but didn’t God say that we would be a peculiar people, those that are different from the world?
Let your Light shine, not that it becomes blinding, but that it becomes like a Light Tower, guiding one through the storm towards His peace and safety.
Do not hide your Light underneath a bushel but allow all to see for He is The Way, The Light and The Truth.
You cannot push your Light, your personal convictions from God, unto another.
Your Light is what Jesus has revealed to you alone, His personal walk for you.
When one tries to push it upon another, it becomes law and not grace or legalism and mostly these convictions aren’t from God at all.
True convictions from God are personal, and intimate and not to be pushed upon another. They are holy!
THE WAY TO KNOW GOD
November 8, 2022
To be intimate with God is to truly know Him. You cannot know a person from afar but to want to spend time with them, to truly listen to their heart, and to truly connect with them.
“Draw deep so that I can speak. Listen closely so you can hear the cry of My heart that My people will become saved, to truly know Me. The people who I have died for only know Me from a distance, but I want those who are called by My name to draw near to Me. My secret place for them to dwell, to hide, to draw near, to be intimate is to know Me, to truly listen to Me, to be still and know that I AM their God.”
FREEDOM REIGNS
February 16, 2022
Yes, freedom reigns in the house of the King, but many fail to believe this.
They think because the wages of sin is death, they still must pay a consequence for all the past mistakes and evil things they did.
They fail to believe and receive that once they are born again, they become a new creation. All things of our past life are washed away and we become brand new.
Yes, we need to renew our mind with the Word of God to wash away memories of the past life and claim the mind of Christ.
Also, we need to claim all the benefits of the Kingdom and that includes healing, prosperity, restoration, protection, and put on our armor to stand against the lies of the enemy for he hates to lose one he has held captive.
We are to break all the chains by faith the enemy tries to link us to our past saying that there is a residue to your sin that is still on you.
We don’t need to heal the memories of our past, just let go of them with our past life. We are a new creation washed clean with the blood of the Lamb. All our thoughts and deeds are gone. We have no residue to carry. That is a lie!
Some still build themselves a prison because they won’t receive redemption. They think there is still a price to be paid for their sin. So, they continue to punish themselves with guilt and shame including all types of rejection.
They still don’t feel worthy of God’s love or totally accept that they have been set free! The enemy is a liar. He has no hold except for what we give to him. Who the Son sets free is free indeed and Jesus has set us free! He has acquitted us of all crime and we are free to leave the prison walls.
There is freedom in the house of the King! Believe and receive and live the life Jesus purchased for us to have!
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17
“Therefore, if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed,” John 8:36.
TIME TO SAY, “ENOUGH!”
January 12, 2022
When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Lord will raise up a standard against him…. our faith, our trust, our security in the Lord Jesus, our healer.
No weapon formed against us shall prosper. This is the day of the great falling away because people are allowing the enemy to distract them with the evil report.
We are to keep our eyes and heart on the Good Report, the Truth of God’s word. Whose report will you believe? Will you believe what the symptoms say or will you believe the Truth of God’s word…by Jesus’ stripes we are healed?
The Lord sustains us upon the sickbed and restores us to health? It is well with my soul should be our answer to those who ask! Many want you to look and act in the natural. Jesus is the Great Physician and we are to act upon His wisdom alone, the knowledge of His perfect will, and the grace to walk in it.
Jesus is the way in the wilderness. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Any other way is from the evil one. We are to praise Him, thank Him for His faithfulness to sustain us and to restore us to health.
What the enemy meant for harm God will always turn it for our good! This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
A KISS FROM GOD
November 1, 2022
As I was worshiping the Lord, words of praise and adoration were flowing out of me so easily that I knew it was all from the Holy Spirit, and suddenly a sound popped out of me, like the essence of the smack of a kiss, and a quickening came over me and I said, “was that a kiss?”. It was a beautiful encounter!
As we draw close to the Lord, He will bring you times of refreshing as you lay your life down before Him. These quiet times are well worth the effort to have. Once you have had one encounter you are not satisfied but to have many more continuous as a way of life. Intimacy with the Lord Jesus is to be a way of life.
It isn’t how much time you spend with Him, but it is how you spend this time with Him. We aren’t to just try to gain head knowledge of His word and leaving Him out but to have times of devotion with His word where we enable Him to reveal Himself to us.
Yes, this is the day He has made. Let us rejoice and be glad. He is so worthy to be praised no matter what we face in the natural. If we have a home away from the hustle and the bustle of daily life, we can come apart and be with Him. Yes, if we have a place we can call our secret place, we can be with Him.
BE STILL AND KNOW HIM
October 30, 2022
Seek the Lord while He may be found. Do not delay. Heed His calling to come apart to be with Him.
He is your heart’s desire, the One that makes you glad. There is no one like Him.
He is the Way in the wilderness, the Light at the end of the tunnel, the Solution to every situation that you face.
Seek Him with all your heart. Be still and know Him, delight in Him, lay down your life before Him.
Yes, be still and know Him as your God, says your Lord and King.
THE ANOINTING TO SAVE
October 29, 2022
This is a dream I had and wanted to share.
I took a walk and met a young man that was interested in me physically, but the Lord placed on my heart a burden for his salvation. I tried to meet up with him again where I first met him, but he wasn’t there. The Lord arranged for me to meet him again. We were talking and I was trying to lead him to the Lord but getting nowhere.
Suddenly, he said something about the hope of your heart. Then I said that’s it, He is the hope of your heart. I said Jesus is the hope of your heart! He didn’t want anything to do with what I said and started getting all riled up. Suddenly, I prayed against the spirit of antichrist and there was a shift in the atmosphere and that young man got saved and there was many around that witnessed it. It was like the atmosphere was so different that probably many got saved at that moment.
In the dream it was like I was super charged with an anointing to reach the lost. In Jesus name Lord, let it be that way now in the natural like it was in this dream.
Lord, stir up in all of us the anointing to save, the desire to reach the lost, and the availability to be used, and that we would put first the Kingdom in all that we do in Jesus’ name.
SUCH A CONFIRMATION
September 23, 2022
Blessings to all!
God brought me to a confirmation that He brought us together!
I was sorting out my papers catching up on stuff since I have a caregiver for a few hours each day. I came across this that I was really amazed by once again that I thought I would share.
On my twenty-third wedding anniversary I wrote the following:
This is too much! Even though our anniversary was on May 21, this was revealed to me on May 23. I met Lee after being single for twenty-one years. Lee adopted Levi when Levi was 21. This is God’s gift to us confirming that He brought us together.
I was amazed at the faithfulness of the Lord. I was led to look up the meaning of my husband’s name Lee and the rest just fell in place!
When I first me Lee I was under such stress and constant attack from the enemy using my mother. I was so very fatigued having to clean houses, care for Levi, and having to deal with my mother having such oppression from the enemy.
Lee’s name means meadow…He makes me to lie down in green pastures: he leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul…Psalm 23:2-3. When I met Lee, he lifted such a burden in helping care for Levi. I was so fatigued at that time that it took strength to cut up Levi’s food!
Lee’s name is also meaning refuge from the storm. Isa 25:4. My mother didn’t like Lee too much, so we were stayed apart for a good while Lee helped me to regain strength. I was also very depressed at the time not even realizing it.
God used Levi to bring us together. I met Lee at a church and the first thing Lee said to me is that he had a burden to fast and pray for Levi. We all started sitting together with Levi between us. One night Levi drew our necks together like mom and dad! I gave Lee a nice ring as a seed planted for his prosperity. He was homeless not long before meeting me. Now Lee owns his own home, completely out of debt, able to pay cash for nice gifts for me!!!
Levi’s name means join in harmony. Mark 10:9 Let no one split apart what God has joined together.
My name Yolanda means violet, which is a symbol of devotion and purity.
Lee’s birthstone – amethyst – a symbol of devotion, purity and chastity.
Our last name Ballard means brave and strong. It also means baldness, which is symbolic of natural weakness. The Nazarenes shaved their heads when they were ready to be consecrated to the Lord. 2 Cor 12:9 – My grace is sufficient for you for My power is made perfect in weakness.
In the natural our load might be hard to bear but we know that when we are weak, He is our strength. Ballard also means a dancing song and dancing before the Lord has made me strong.
TRUST, BELIEVE AND OBEY
October 13, 2022
“This is the hour of My Power.
It is a time to rejoice and be glad and not allow the enemy to deter you from your highest calling, which is to worship the King of kings, The King of My Glory, The LORD, high and lifted up to where His train fills the tabernacle.
Taste and see that The LORD is good. Blessed is the man who trusts in Him and makes their abode in Him.
Reach up and touch The Train of His Glory, for the fringes of it are mighty to heal and restore you to your original intent.
The enemy came even before you were born to rob your inheritance in Me by tainting your bloodline with that which wasn’t of Me.
Many even suffer up to this day with the curses from witchcraft, but I have come to set the captives free.
Trust Me and believe Me for I am faithful to touch your loved ones with My saving Grace and My Healing Power.
Cast all your cares upon Me for I care for you and take care of all your needs. Trust Me and obey for that is the only way.
Believe My promises for they are all yes and Amen to you. Only believe and receive.
I AM doing a deep work in your heart by allowing those things that may cause offenses. I mature you through all that I allow.
How do you know what is in your heart unless it is tested with the fire of My love?
The steps of the righteous are ordered by the LORD. Lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Me and I will direct your path.
I have seen all your days before you were born and have made provision for them. I can do the impossible. My Ways are higher than yours. I have My Ways of providing for you.
Yes, taste and see for I AM Good. Be blessed and continue on in Me,” says your God.
TO THE PRODIGAL
October 2, 2022
To the Prodigal:
You may say, “Take me home. Take me to the place where I once belonged; the place where I laid my head down to rest; the place where I had food to eat; the place where I was a part of and loved.”
But was it really a place where I was truly “at home” and loved with God’s unconditional love?
But was it, that it appeared that I would be loved if I only measured up?
Many were not reared up in a place that was a home, based on God’s love.
It was a place where many were hurt deeply, and deprived of the nurture and admonition of The LORD, and when they came of age, even immature in that, they left, seeking that which they were deprived in places they were never meant to go, but they were seeking to fill the void of God’s Love, and to medicate it, or to numb over that deep hurt of deprivation.
Open up your heart and allow The LORD Jesus in. He has what you need.
And to the spiritual mothers and fathers, open your hearts, to allow the Prodigal in with all their hurts and flaws, and allow the King of Glory to enter in, to heal and restore.
The LORD’s Mission is to turn the hearts of The Fathers to the sons, and to turn the hearts of the sons to the fathers.
This is the day of restoration in the heart of God, even of the Bride to the Bridegroom. Many have the heart of the Prodigal, wounded and wayward, wandering from one home or house of God to another, looking and seeking that Love they never found, but are unable to receive, because of their fortress or prison they built around themselves, a hard heart.
Be sensitive to the “hard cases,” for those are the ones God seeks to use in the last days. They are the ones He will heal and restore and use in mighty ways.
Be healed, mighty warrior, for the battle is The LORD’s!
I HEARD A HEAVENLY CHOIR
September 23, 2022
This is a Dream I had, and a Word that came to me after I wrote the Dream out.
I was at a Church before the Service started, and all of a sudden I started singing the following, “I want to Worship The LORD in Praise. Let the sounds of Praise roll forth!”
Then I heard the sounds of instruments and voices singing and in some way, it was all being recorded.
I began to say, “I wonder where all that took place,” and then I said, “New Jerusalem!”
The man who was recording the music and melody of the heavenly choir said, “Yes!” and I said, “I need a copy of that!”
I woke up trying to recollect the song that I was singing in my Dream along with the heavenly choir. I know that I got “slain in the Spirit” in the Dream.
After I wrote out the Dream, I received the following Word of Admonition:
“It is Time to Rejoice!
This is the day to rejoice and to break forth in Praise! The Angels of Praise are ready to back us up with heavenly sounds in the Spirit, if you would only allow the praise to roll forth out of your hearts, for it is the time to rejoice!
It is the time to enter in like never before, in one accord, with a melody from heaven!
Let the song of The LORD come forth. Let the heavenly sounds come forth!
Let the Angels sing! It is beginning to rain! The Glory is beginning to fall. The dry season is over.
It is time to bloom forth, to blossom. Let the Gifts flow. Let the River flow out of our hearts. All that has been dammed up be set free!
Let hearts be healed! Let the body of Christ be of one accord. Unite, mighty army of God! Rejoice, for surely you have the victory! March forth. Let out a victory cry, for surely you have the land.
I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy. His weapons are under your feet! Trample down every one of them with the voice of triumph, with the voice of joy!
This is the day of Jubilee, of rejoicing, for the enemy has to return seven-fold everything he has tried to take illegally.
Do not keep silent upon your beds any longer. Let the rejoicing flow for you have much to praise about in the coming days.
Restoration is taking place at this very hour. Things you have faithfully believed for a long time are beginning to manifest and bloom forth.
This is the time of rejoicing for the body of Christ! Family relationships are being restored and salvations are taking place.
Limbs are growing out! Yes, you are beginning to run with the Word of The LORD! You are beginning to run, to dance, to twirl, to jump for joy, to sing for surely victory has entered into your households this very hour!
I paid the price. I have redeemed you, and I have given you My Crown, My Scepter, My Armor, and My Word! Now run fearlessly covered with My Light, Truth, and take the land.
Yes, this is the hour of My Power,” says The LORD.
SPIRITUAL IMMATURITY HINDERS REVIVAL
September 13, 2022
Imagine yourself in Jesus’ arms. What would you feel?
Would you be all keyed-up or would you feel peace, secure or insecure? Would you have anything to fear or to be anxious about?
The LORD wants us to be real. He wants to love us at the level we are at in Him to receive His love.
For example, I was watching Christian television and the minister all of a sudden started singing “Jesus loves me, this I know”.
Right then The LORD showed me how young in the spirit I was. I was like a little child, and I cried out to Him, “Daddy, pick me up, I’m afraid”.
Yes, I could write a book about this subject. In order to mature in Him, we need to be able to receive His love. So many have not grown, because they weren’t able to receive it.
God had a love we were to receive in the womb all the way through life, but if our mother wasn’t close to The LORD receiving His love, then His love couldn’t flow to us.
We grow from having the nurture and admonition of The LORD flowing from His love through our parents. If our families were dysfunctional, His love could not flow.
Children were abused because of that neglect. They became wayward without a home wandering the streets looking for His love and getting into all kinds of trouble.
Many made it through that time by making the right decisions but still lost without His love.
Many are not able to get along at work. Many can’t get along with their spouse. All this happens because they have never received God’s love so they don’t have His love to share.
Many who are married are like little children giving and receiving a level of love they can’t even relate to because they had never matured in His love to that level.
Another example of receiving a level of His love is what happened to me. I had made a decision to humble myself and even look foolish to allow The LORD to work in me.
I was at a Church Meeting and a lady and her infant child were across the row from me. The baby was crying and the mother was tormented needing ministry.
As they were praying over her, God’s love started flowing to her and they both calmed down. I could feel that level of love that the baby and mother both needed, and it flowed over to me and touched me deeply.
We need to have intimate moments where The LORD can deeply touch us with the level of love that we need.
How can we truly worship Him if we are bound up in chains behind fortresses built to protect us?
God wants to bring down those walls and set the captives free. Then we will be able to truly receive His love and truly grow up in His love to become mature sons and daughters of the King.
Then His love will flow outward to each other and upward to Him, back again and out to the world.
“Then you will see Revival Fire fall!,” says The LORD.
MY EXPERIENCE IN MATURING
September 10, 2022
This is another experience. I don’t know if you can relate to this, since I am such a unique individual truly one of a kind!
I learned something about myself last night. Even when you don’t understand what is happening in an apparent failure or let down, know that God is always working all things for our good if we remain humble and teachable and willing to grow and mature in Him.
God has given me a gift of deep worship able to get in His intimate presence and dance. To me, it is my chief joy.
I have always had a hard time getting close to Him, and feeling accepted, because of the spirit of legalism.
God broke down the walls and enabled me to enter into His unconditional Love, but His intimacy doesn’t just flow upward to Him and down to you, it also flows from Him through others in The Body of Christ.
I feel like a young child who has been given the gift of the freedom to enjoy something like how a child gets engrossed in a new toy or game, but then when the mother tries to get their attention, when she wants them to do something else, it is hard to get it.
I need to learn balance, to be able to receive from God through others, and to be aware of when He wants me to move into a different type of Worship.
One night I had a hard time at a Prophetic Conference. We were all worshiping The LORD along with the praise team, and I was dancing so deep in His Presence that the whole Church had already sat down and was ready for the teaching, and I was still in worship!
The teacher had to actually call my name saying, “No more dancing!” I got so embarrassed, and thought I had totally missed it, and actually got offended by this lady!
Last night the same thing happened. I was deep in Worship, and the praise leader started sharing a vision she received during the song.
I couldn’t even make out what she was saying, and it distracted me from my worship.
I thought what she was talking about quenched the anointing, and I left the meeting! I already had a problem, not feeling accepted by the pastor there. So that spirit of rejection opened the door for this to happen, so that I would miss the blessing of what she was saying.
I was still hungry for God and He was still working in me. I came home and watched the video of the meeting I was at, and was able to hear what the lady was saying, and it was a wonderful message from God about a scripture that I love, about how, unless the alabaster box is broken open, the sweet fragrance of His Presence cannot be released!
God was still working in me, and led me to a video on YouTube about the spirit of offense! It was a great teaching and I ordered John Bevere’s book, “The Bait of Satan” about how to get free from the spirit of offense!
I am willing to go back to that Church I went to last night, and overcome rejection.
We must realize that some people just have a personality that can be falsely interpreted as rejection, if you are already battling it.
Iron sharpens iron if we are willing! Unless we remain as little children, we cannot enter into His kingdom. Yes, my life is an open book shared that anyone can learn from it.
“And he said, “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven,”” Matthew 18:3.
The following is a comment made by a sister in the Lord after reading my post:
Coming and going,
You are His Bold Lioness,
A joyful “Cub” – He – LOVES,
Enjoying His Presence,
And not looking at any ‘printed program!’
Good for you! May we all be so uninhibited.
A suggestion for any leader
Who wants to start then:
“Let us all begin, while she
Continues in worship…”
Or
“Let’s all take our seats,
If you can…[pause].”
I don’t bear witness with
Calling out a name.
HE IS ALWAYS SPEAKING
September 6, 2022
I took my husband to get blood work and sat in the car with Levi.
The view was beautiful with weeping willows all around with such a peaceful and cool atmosphere.
It was a beautiful place to take some pictures but I forgot my phone. So I began to reach out to the Lord to just share the beauty with Him since He made it all!
Then I started to write. Good thing I had a pad.
This is what I received:
Capture the beauty of His handiwork in nature for He is speaking all the time drawing close to Him those He died for.
Listen closely, wait, and know He is God. He is the Maker and the Redeemer. Yes, He is the One drawing you close giving you your every breath.
He is the Light at the end of the tunnel. He is the One that makes a way when it seems there is no way of escape. He promised He would sustain and never give you more than you can bear.
Believe Him, receive Him, and lay down your life before Him. He is the Way in the wilderness, the One that lifts your head.
Be still and know Him for He loves you. He gave up for you His one and begotten Son, the Lord Jesus.
How much more will He give you all things when He already gave you His Best that He had?
Resume your position at the foot of the Cross. Those who remain humble He will lift up and never let down.
*Very interesting!
I was looking for a picture of a willow tree to share with this post and came across this site about the symbolism of the willow tree relating to women.
willowplaceforwomen.com/symbolism-of-the-willow-tree/
Definitely, the Lord is always speaking if you are sensitive to listening.
I will for sure go back to this place and take some pictures of the trees.
TOTAL BREAKTHROUGH IS IMMINENT
September 6, 2022
I don’t know if anyone can even relate to what I want to share.
The enemy has worked overtime to keep me isolated and to try to make me believe that I had a fear of people even though I experience all the feelings of having it.
I’ve been crying out to the Lord for a breakthrough to even be able to fellowship with the saints. There are times when there is no way that I want to do certain things but when I know it is God’s will, I will step out.
My husband encouraged me to go to the Aglow Women’s Fellowship meeting last Saturday, and I am so glad that I did!
I got there early when those in leadership gather. I’ve done this before because for some reason I have thought I was coming on time, but because I am there I am able to pray with them before the meeting. How do you like that for God’s timing!
I even got to share how I battle isolation and one in leadership said there are many battling it and don’t come to the meetings with Aglow.
I got to share my testimony and stand in the gap for all those women to be able to overcome isolation and come. That meeting was packed!
I was so blessed to have the freedom to worship the way that I like to with my whole heart with an audience of One! I sure needed that. I love to worship Him. He gives me strength and a little vacation away with Him.
During the meeting I caught myself basking in the sound of the women enjoying themselves with one another laughing and talking.
The sound was a sound I had not heard in this way before. It was like a person who is just beginning to even hear! I was walking around in awe. It was like the sound of waterfalls, of the ocean waves, of all the beautiful sounds of nature all wrapped up in one. Yes, I was in awe!
I didn’t realize how much I had been robbed battling isolation. Yes, the devil has fought me hard in this area.
Every time I had a breakthrough he would fight even harder the next time I tried to gather with others.
Then I went to the grocery store! This was the first time in two years! Lee started going shopping through the virus, and it had been so hard for me to concentrate when bringing Levi.
I did not even want to go to the store but I was so blessed to be there with all the people. I caught myself smiling at whoever would receive it.
I was so comfortable and actually was enjoying myself. God wants us to be open and available to share His love.
That is the purpose we are out in public, not just to do our shopping, wrapped in our own affairs.
The Lord said to seek first His kingdom and righteousness, and all things will be added unto us. He will give us all our needs if we put Him first.
Yes, that was my experience and I believe it will only get stronger. Freedom is coming to all those who have been bound up.
I remember long ago I had fear of everything, but I saw myself as a bird in a cage that would be set free, like a butterfly in a cocoon that will fly with beauty, like a flower that would bloom and be a blessing to others.
I have had women come up to me and ask me if I was the woman that danced and that I had blessed them by being in the overflow from the Holy Spirit from my dancing. And also I received comments as I dance from a pure heart really blessed me.
Also, I brought Levi to the meeting after I left I went home and found Levi wandering around alone with no one watching him because Lee was still asleep.
Yes, I know God’s hand was upon him and he probably got up from his nap with Lee right when I pulled up in the driveway.
I brought him back to the meeting in his nightclothes! And he received a prophecy.
The guest speaker went to pray for Levi and pulled back saying. He already knows the Lord and is very close to Him. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit commune with him all the time!
You wouldn’t know it because of the way he is, but Levi knows them well!
Praise God and thank you for all your prayers. They are working mightily in me. Even though the enemy wants to bind up many God will have His way in us and through us.
The following scripture is for us all. We can count on it!
“Arise, shine, for your light has come,
and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.
2 See, darkness covers the earth
and thick darkness is over the peoples,
but the Lord rises upon you
and his glory appears over you. Isaiah 60:1-2 NIV.
SET FREE FROM BONDAGE
August 30, 2022
“Who the Son sets free is free indeed and Jesus has set us free,” (John 8:36).
We are to rejoice in the finished work of Christ at Calvary. He paid the price that we would be set free to live life to the fullest and to allow His Love to flow in us and through us.
Most of all He prayed that we would be One, as He and The Father are One.
The enemy’s intention is that we would not be a vessel of God’s Love, by sending out spirits of bondage and ways to separate God’s People from receiving and giving God’s Love. Many do not realize it, but he tries to set us up for defeat by conquering and dividing God’s People.
Love covers a multitude of sins. God’s Love is unconditional. It is always freely flowing. You don’t earn it. Yes, it is a free gift from Above.
Many have fallen into traps from the enemy, because of curses of the generations. These are hard to break, but with the precious Blood of The Lamb, nothing is impossible.
God sees your pain and is right there with you through your struggles. Just hold on to the edge of His Garment, just like the woman with the issue of blood when all else failed.
When man’s ways of only covering up the issue by medicating it, God gets to the root of the problem and sets us free. His timing is perfect.
Don’t let go of His Faithfulness. Just know the enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy. Jesus comes to bring life abundantly. Be free to dance and to sing and to enjoy God.
Look around and see His handiwork in nature. It is a free gift to enjoy. It is all around you but many are so bound up that they cannot see and feel His intimate touch and beauty.
Open up your heart completely and breathe deep. He is there to fill you up. Worship Him for He is worthy to be praised. Always know that He created you to worship Him. That is your highest calling.
Don’t be like Martha being caught up with the needs of this temporal life. Be like Mary, at His feet, basking in her highest calling — just to love on Him.
IMMANUEL, GOD WITH US
August 1, 2022
As I woke up, I asked, “Is God with me as I go through all this?”
And I heard, “God’s goodness is all around you. He is the air that you breathe that sustains you. He is the One that causes you to lift your head and to rejoice in another new day.
Each day is a new beginning, a fresh new start. Old things have passed away; all things have become new.
Where there is life, there is hope and expectation of God to move on our behalf. All things are working together for our good.
The Word is working mighty in us. It will not return void but will accomplish what God sent it to do. Keep His word before you, speak it, live it, for He is the life, the way, and the truth.
The Lord orders the steps of the righteous. Step aside and allow Him to live His life through you.”
Yes, Immanuel, God is with us!
HAVING A SANCTIFIED MIND
July 30, 2022
Are we made in the image and likeness of God?
What does that mean?
Do we have creative power to be able to create?
Yes, we are able to create out of our imagination that is sanctified by His Spirit. We do this through art.
Some are afraid of using the gifts and qualities of the mind God gave us. I would be afraid too if I weren’t a born-again believer in Christ Jesus.
The mind is powerful and has creative ability. You can speak things into existence.
The enemy counterfeits the gifts and qualities God gave us. We are a spirit being but must walk close to our Heavenly Father with discernment.
The enemy can stir up the powers of the mind and draw one into the wrong realm.
The Church has become a mixture of good and bad in the Spiritual Realm. There is New Age running rampant in The Church.
There is a mixture of sales in The Church that crosses over into mind control and manipulation, which is witchcraft. There is just as much evil in The Church and even more so than the world.
When you become enlightened, which can be a bad term, because you have seen The Light, you have tasted what you can open up to, and if you don’t stay sanctified mind, soul, body, and spirit, you can cross over into the demonic realm very easily.
Some are being transported or translated by evil powers because they will to be by using their mind. God has transported His people throughout The Bible and even today He has, but it was none of their own doing but was all by His spirit.
We aren’t to be afraid of using our mind, even tapping into those qualities some fear, as the imagination.
We have nothing to fear if we stay near to Him. If we remain open to His leading and guiding, we can rest and perceive His leading into thoughtfulness, meditation, and creativity brought forth through a sanctified imagination.
Can one actually daydream and be led by His Spirit? Yes, we can. We can rest by streams of Living Water and bask in His Peace and think on things that are pure, loving, true, and of a good report.
We can bask in His love and travel in realms of His love taking us deeper and strengthening us to stand bold against the evil one sent to steal, kill and destroy all God has ordained for us to have.
We have the mind of Christ. We are set apart and sanctified to do His will.
We have nothing to fear. We can trust our Father to give us all He intended us to have.
Fear and religion rob us; Love and Relationship with Him makes us who we are.
LISTEN CLOSELY TO HEAR
July 22, 2022
“It’s not by might or by power but by My Spirit,” says The LORD.
“Remain silent upon your bed. Lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Me and I will direct your path.
The steps of the righteous are ordered by Me. There is no other way you are to walk but, in My will, alone. Yes, keep silent in your spirit and listen closely.
I AM always speaking, but you don’t always hear My still small voice. I do not force or pressure, but gently guide you.
Trust Me, that I AM directing you and even using circumstances in your life to keep you on the path that I have ordained.
All things are working together for your good,” says your LORD.
“Speak forth the oracles of God with holy boldness. Never quench My Spirit. I give you the Words to say and I back you up. With My Angels, I protect you and shield you from all harm.
Stir up your Gifts of My spirit especially the words of wisdom of knowledge for specific direction. Yes, I will speak to you alone and bring confirmation. Don’t go to others for specific direction. I will speak to you directly.
You are My child. I give you ears to hear My Voice. I have given you spiritual ears. I speak to your heart and you hear Me there in the secret place.
I love you. Draw near to Me. I will strengthen you. I will uphold you with My right Hand of Power.
Keep seeking after Me. Be still and know I AM your God! I AM pleased with you.
Yes, this is the day I have made. Rejoice and be glad! I AM here with you to the end of all days on earth.
Keep looking up. I AM coming soon!”
RELEASE THE ROAR
July 19, 2022
The enemy goes about “like” a roaring lion seeking whom he can devour, but he comes nowhere near the power of the roar that The Lion of Judah releases!
Jesus is The Lion of the Tribe of Judah, and He wants to roar through us who are His people.
I’ve experienced this roar, and it is powerful! I was in high praise at Church with my arms raised up to Him and all of a sudden, I felt in The Spirit a roar rising up in my spirit in power and might!
I heard it loudly come through me, and I felt His Power stream through my arms towards heaven. I thought the force of power flowing through me was going to blow me apart!
After releasing the roar, I went to my knees like a wet noodle and said to God, “If you are going to put this type of power in me, you are going to have to give me a body that contain it!”
He said that the Power that went forth through me, was repelling powers of darkness in the community, so that they could respond to His saving Grace.
He said for me to pray for The Body of Christ around the world, so that they will be able to release His roar to usher in the end time harvest of souls.
Yes, I am a Worship Intercessor, and that is my calling to pray, that The Body of Christ would come to the place of worship in Him for this to happen.
I’ve released His roar several times and each time it was a sign and wonder. I had asked the lady sitting in front of me if she heard the roar and she said no. It was loud in The Spirit Realm, and I thought it was loud in the natural.
One other time I released it loudly when a prophetess was speaking to me from Him, and my back curved backward to release the roar. Yes, it was a sign and wonder. I’ve been involved in several signs and wonders, whirlwinds, holy rolling, etc., many times.
The enemy has greatly hindered me in my calling, and that is why I need midwives to back me up. I was prophesied over that I was in the third trimester in birthing forth The Will of God through me, and that was years ago.
Many times, when I go through a severe trial, which is normally all the time, in some type or form I get a Word of Encouragement for The Body of Christ, and after I release it, I go through another trial.
People have read my writings to one another around the world since 2000, to receive encouragement from The LORD.
The Body of Christ, in many sections of the world, have grown cold. Many don’t even sing, much less shout and rejoice in His presence.
I love to dance, because it is The LORD dancing through me and with me! I dance by The Spirit, just like some who pray in tongues, by The Spirit.
Once I was involved in a Fast when the Church gathered at noon to worship and praise and pray. I felt in my spirit that I needed to yield to this movement developing in me, and when I did, The Holy Spirit actually moved me and I yielded. That is how I dance. If He doesn’t move me, I don’t move!
We need to get back to really Worshiping The LORD with all our heart, soul, and strength and not care what others think of us.
Like King David, he danced and embarrassed those who knew him. Yes, I’ve been an embarrassment and been asked many times to go to the back of to go sit down, get up from my knees, etc. My mother was very embarrassed by me!
We don’t dance for anyone to see. We have only “an audience of One” who matters, and it is all about Him whom we truly love.
He created us to worship Him. Let us return and delight in His intimate presence once again and let out a victory shout.
Slap the enemy in the face. Kick him in the teeth! Every motion you make in worship is warfare!
Let him have it! This is the time and the hour God wants to release His power and His mighty roar through us!
HOW DO WE RETURN
July 18, 2022
I was beginning to clean out what I don’t use to bring to the thrift shop and I came across a set of coffee cups and saucers from a set I had long ago. They were so small, and then I remembered the first set of coffee cups I bought from the contemporary size of dishes and I actually thought they were soup bowls. I rarely drank two cups of coffee from the small size cups and now I drink two or more of the super sized coffee cups.
I have a set of restaurant dinner plates from before I was born. They are the size of our lunch plates that we have now. How did we allow the enemy to turn us from being temperate to being to the place of being a glutton? When I was a child, you rarely saw oversized people and not it is a common thing. Before we ate an occasional Twinkie, Coca Cola, boxed mix or drink, and now it is common to eat trashy chemical laden foods.
The enemy was out to steal, kill and destroy our health and our life. How do we return to where we need to be to be conscious of what we eat and really begin to love His temple by nourishing it? Only by the grace of God do we live and breathe and have our being. Only by His grace alone!
Father, I cry out to You that you will touch our hearts and our minds and set us free from the chains that bind us in Jesus name.
Do we eat to live or do we live to eat? Man does not live by bread alone but by ever word that proceeds from the mouth of God. There is no condemnation for those who live in the Spirit and follow not the lust of the flesh. Choose this day who you will serve. Will it be God or the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life?
When Eve ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, she opened us up to this dilemma. We have a choice to return to God and His ways or continue on to death and destruction?
Help us, dear Lord, I pray in Jesus name.
A TIME TO SIMPLIFY
July 8, 2022
“Do you really believe Me, when I say that I Love you?
Do you find peace in who I AM, or do you look to find peace in other things?
This is the day when I want you to really examine your heart so that you will know what really matters.
You seek to know those things that clutter up your life in material things but you need to seek to de-clutter those things that distract you from having My Presence.
The Kingdom of God consists of peace, joy and righteousness in Me. My righteousness you are to seek to know and walk in.
I want you to simplify your life — to even find joy in the simple things like to delight in My Creation, the beauty of My Presence, to being able to hear and follow My still small Voice.
You can become busy with all that the world has to offer even those things that you use every day, but what would you do if you didn’t have all those distractions?
Would you be satisfied with just having Me to walk with and to do those things I want you to do?
Be still and know that I AM with you. Lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways ask of Me what I would have you to do, not to plan your own agenda.
Do you care if I might not want you to do certain things? I might have another plan for us to do together. Do you even care if I do?
Many live their life without Me and do things I don’t even like and continue to do those things that leave Me out.
I want you to have a closer walk with Me. I want to bring you into a deeper walk with Me where you truly are being fulfilled.
I want you to truly live not just exist, or survive but to really thrive. It’s not too late to change your ways if you truly want to learn.
I want you to truly walk with Me, talk with Me, truly listen and hear Me when I speak. I want to use you in a mighty way, a unique way that only you can do.
No other can fill your unique calling. Only you can I use in a special way that I have ordained before the foundation of the world.
I had a Plan for you and I to fulfill, but the enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy it.
I came to give you life abundantly but you settle for so much less thinking that all I have to offer cannot satisfy.
How often you have believed the lies of the evil one and settled for less or even for a counterfeit joy and peace that is not from Me.
This is the day I have made and I want you to rejoice in it from start to finish.
Listen to Me and I will show you great things.
Spend time with Me. Weed out those distractions.
Simplify. Begin today. Know that I AM with you. Be safe in My embrace and prosper.
It is time to simplify!”
BE STRENGTHENED WITH JOY
July 1, 2022
Those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as eagles. They shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint…Isaiah 40:31.
Yes, these are the last days and many are already beginning to be drained of their strength from the constant attacks of the enemy trying to rob them of My peace and My joy, which is your strength.
Lean upon Me and I will carry you. Cast all your cares upon Me for I care for you. Commit everything into My hands and I will supply all your needs. Ask of Me and I will give you My Kingdom blessings to you. I will give you My wisdom and understanding, the knowledge of My perfect will, and all the grace you need to walk in it.
Remain silent upon your bed and listen to Me for I have so much I want to say to you that you have a future and a hope in Me. Stand on all My promises for they are all yes and Amen to you.
This is the day that I have made…rejoice and be glad in it. Be encouraged that I will never leave you or forsake you. I am closer than the breath that you breathe. I am the way, the truth, and the Life.
Remain in Me and you will be fruitful in all your ways. Yes, you will prosper and be in health as your soul prospers, says your Lord and King.
BE WILLING TO SHARE YOUR TESTIMONY
June 25, 2022
I woke up this morning with my testimony rolling around in my head and the desire to share it. You don’t know who might read and a seed would be planted that they would also have a testimony to share!!
We should never forget God’s testimony of His faithfulness in our life, our salvation experience, and never lose focus of where He promised to take us in His Word.
Before I got saved you can say I was at the bottom of the barrel, the beer barrel that is, looking up actually wishing I could be like the other alcoholics at the bar! I looked up to them as having it all together. I was one of those who smoked pot but never could roll a reefer correctly. I felt like I just didn’t have it all together.
I battled deep depression because of the load of guilt I carried! At the time I didn’t even realize how deep I stuffed my guilt! I actually was going to a psychologist who said that I was like a child with special needs, because I escaped my whole adolescence through drugs, having to care for a child with special needs.
I had to start to grow up over night!!! Even to this day I feel much younger than I am!!! And I have had to grow up from years of escaping to facing the day of having to carry the responsibility of being an adult. The Lord got hold of me by His spirit and enabled me to cry out to me Him for the forgiveness of my sins and immediately the load of guilt and depression lifted off of me and I knew I had a new life with a new direction to follow Jesus!
I suffered for over thirty years from having had an abortion and not facing the reality of it. The guilt of that drove me to where I had nightmares and to the place of almost losing my mind when I realized that I had murdered my baby. The impact of that reality almost caused me to lose it completely!!!
It took a long time to accept it and ask forgiveness for it and to actually forgive myself to get rid of the shame and guilt that was deeply stuffed.
Yes, I could write a book to share from the life I lived before salvation, how the Lord protected me even though I didn’t know him. How much more would God protect me now that I am friend! I’ve been there and done that in the world and would never choose to go back to it ever again!
Lee has a mighty testimony of his life changing experience through salvation also. He was hooked on cocaine and even though he didn’t know the Lord God convicted him that he needed to quit it. Lee knew that the only way he could was to leave his friends. So he got on his Harley and left his family and friends and came to Florida.
The Lord delivered him of cocaine without even having any withdrawals. He ended up homeless and later on got saved in a Christian coffee house. Later he met me and God used me to plant a seed for his prosperity by giving him a nice man’s ring. Three months later we were married twenty-eight years ago!!!
Now he is completely out of debt and owns his own home! And my son Levi finally got a father when he adopted Levi when he was twenty-one. Yes, God brought our family together! And He’s not done yet with what He is going to do in us and through us!!!
In order to be baptized in brokenness we must be able to admit that we in ourselves do not have what it takes to do the works of God. We must admit that we are weak so that the Spirit of the Living God can move through us.
We cannot give into being prideful drawing attention to who we are but cause all men to look to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith. Through Him alone do we live and breathe and have our being. All glory to Him alone!
Yes, these are the last days and the Lord is looking for those who are completely yielded and broken vessels He can move through. Signs wonders and miracles will follow those who believe. They will raise the dead, heal the sick, cast out demons, and speak in new tongues. Because they don’t care what man thinks of them, God can move mightily through them.
Pay the cost of being obedient not caring what the cost but willing to do all for the Kingdom. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all things will be added unto you.
WHEN WE ARE WEAK, HE IS STRONG
June 5, 2022
When it feels like we don’t have what it takes to face a situation, we are to give it all to the Lord Jesus and allow Him to take over which should be this way in every situation. When we are weak, He is strong. If we need to humble our self, die out to the flesh, be stripped of the pride, or whatever, His grace is sufficient.
God wants to conform us into the image of His son Jesus, and we must yield to the much-needed work. God knows what we need and He is a loving and good Father and will provide all the strength, peace, and joy to take us through to the next level in Him.
I remember when I first started truly worshiping the Lord in dance I allowed what other people did during worship to hinder me because I didn’t want to be different. I have been mocked, embarrassed others especially my mother, ripped off my knees, told to go to the back, sit down, etc, but God knew my heart and has graciously provided my time of worship and praise with the saints who love Him!
One time the Lord kept on saying to bow down and I wouldn’t do it and finally I did and the intimate presence of the Lord came on me so strong! Obedience is better than sacrifice.
Another time the Lord wanted me to pray over my Jewish friend but I never could even hug her much less pray. He kept on saying to go pray for her migraine headache, which she couldn’t get any relief from medication. Finally I stepped up and said “All right!” out loud and walked over to her saying the Lord wants me to pray over you.
She said OK and immediately her headache left!!! She died of cancer and before she died she said the sinner’s prayer with me!!! I knew her since I was 16. She died two years ago.
When we know the Lord’s perfect will but do not want to do what He is saying and we yield to obeying Him, we are crucifying our flesh and allowing His resurrection power to flow in us and through us, and we don’t realize how much His power is touching others around us, even though we might be struggling through the whole situation.
Father, give us Your great grace to step out and be real and allow You to be real through us in Jesus name!!!
ABIDING IN THE VINE
May 8, 2022
Taste and see that the Lord is good. Blessed is the man whose trust is in Him and who abides in Him.
If my words are in you, and you are in My word, whatsoever you desire, ask Me and I will give it to you that My Father will be glorified in the Son.
This is the day when many who call themselves believers in Christ are no longer walking with Him. They have become complacent and chose to live their own life rather than to live in what I called them to do. They expect to receive My promises to manifest even though they no longer believe to receive them. They have become walkers in the natural realm rather than in My realm.
Wait upon Me and see what I will do if you abide in Me. A branch cannot bear fruit if it has become disconnected. I would never cut you off if your heart were tender towards Me. I know who are Mine and are trying to abide in Me.
Yes, the enemy has come in like a flood and many have become discouraged, worn down, and weary. Many have become apathetic and not caring for each other like they should. They aren’t giving each other the support that they need. The enemy knows this and is attacking the weak ones.
Don’t you know that the ones that are the weakest I am the strongest through? They are a threat to the enemy and that is why he is coming upon them the hardest. Pray strength for those who are weak. Hold them up through the battle. Just like when Aaron and Hur held up Moses’ arms in the battle in Exodus 17:12, they would begin to win. Be linked closely together, sensitive to the needs of others. You are not in this alone.
This is the day of My power, of My saving grace, flowing in you and through you, says your Lord and King. Love one another as I have loved you. As I am the Vine, and you are the branches, stay connected to each other as you are connected to Me.
When Moses’ hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up__one on one side, one on the other__so that his hands remained steady till sunset. So, Joshua overcame the Amalekite army with the sword. Exodus 17:12-13
My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness. 2 Corinthians 12:9
Remain in Me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me. John 15:4
INTERCEDING FOR THE BRIDE
April 2, 2022
Set me free from captivity like a bird freed from a snare that I might seek life and that more abundant.
Set me free to be whom You called me to be a mighty Warrior, a Worshiper, one who speaks forth Your Word with Signs and Wonders following.
Give me an insatiable hunger for Your Words and an increasing thirst for Your Presence.
Allow me to rejoice in dance and to lay hands on the sick and watch them recover before my eyes.
Deliver me of all hindrances to see You move in Your Power and Glory.
Let me only speak Your Words, think Your Thoughts, and do Your Deeds.
Help me to use my time to bring You Glory, to help those in need, to be a refreshing source to those who need encouragement.
Lift up Your Bride and set her free, clothe her with modesty and strength with eyes only for You, O LORD, my Redeemer!
GLORY OF GOD OR THE FACADE
March 23, 2022
“Mystery Babylon, read about it in Revelation 17, is all around you.
It has its roots and tentacles in all that you do. It has its cords wrapped tightly around the present-day Church so that it can’t truly reach out and touch Me, and know Me, and trust Me with all of their heart.
Be set free. Cry out to Me to know that great escape to that breath of air that you long to have.
So many can’t even breathe like they should because of the bondage of the enemy, and all of the deceptions, and distractions from the evil one.
This is the day to be set free. If you truly want to know Truth, I will set you free, for I AM The Way, The Truth and The Life.
Break free from the bondage of the taskmaster of this world. Be open and teachable and I will give you a life so much more abundant.
I will give you the life that was meant for you to have, not that which the enemy gives, which is only a façade of reality; you are not getting the real thing; you are getting the counterfeit.”
Signs, wonders, and miracles follow those who follow The Glory of God, which is The LORD Jesus; but they can also follow those of the wrong kingdom.
We must be discerning and follow after Grace and Truth and break ties with all that stems from Mystery Babylon, the camp of false religions, and the traditions and laws of man.
All that glistens is not from God.
RELATING TO OTHERS
February 20, 2022
We must walk in the balance of grace and truth like Jesus. When it comes to relating to others, we are to be careful not to do things that might cause others to stumble, but this is very hard because some people who battle legalism stumble over everything!
The safe way is to do only those things you feel comfortable with the Lord doing. If He doesn’t convict you of what you are doing, then others should accept you and at times we do need prayer! If you put on a mask afraid of who you may offend, you are not being your self; therefore, you are not walking in truth.
I have stumbled over how some may dress almost to the point of being offended. Who has the problem….the one who is dressing a certain way or the one who is being offended? If one comes up to me with a very low cleavage or very short skirt or bare bottom, how am I going to react?
There is much in our own self that needs to line up to Jesus and His grace and truth. Some times what offends us is showing that we have an area in us that needs cleansing or lining up to His grace and truth, or healing, or even deliverance.
We need to die out and allow Jesus to live through us. I am sure He wasn’t offended over how others looked. His love covered everything!!!
SHOUT THE VICTORY
February 18, 2022
“Be still and know I AM your God. There is no one who can love you like I do.
I’ve been with you through the waters of adversity and I have never allowed them to overtake you.
Speak peace to the storm and watch it dissipate! There has never been a battle in your life where I allowed it to overcome you.
You always bounce back stronger every time the enemy has tried to bring you down and defeat you.
This is the time and the hour where I will pour out My Power like never before. Keep covered with your Armor of Light and Truth, which blinds the enemy, and worship Me.
Defeat the enemy with the shout and the dance to stomp out injustice. Sing and dance and shout the victory.
Act lively, My children. Don’t allow the enemy to see defeat in the camp with long-drawn faces instead of joy, for you have the victory only if you perceive it and act upon it.
Rise up, My children, and let out a victory shout. Shout the Victory!”
