THE HEAVENS ARE QUIET-KEEP TRUSTING THE LORD!


My friends, my sisters and brothers, please Listen to me!
Now no one can stop you from worrying--If you insist on doing so-you will-then go ahead.
BUT, if you are tired of feeding worry, then read on.

I have been seeking the Lord about many things, some which specifically pertain to me and some that concern your lives. And some that involve us as a community of Faith in Jesus Christ.

I have been having a feeling of uneasiness – of not knowing what is about to happen. I know that the Lord told me to be ready for anything to happen-and that I am prepared—so I tell you this in order that you are prepared also.

I know the weather is going to play a huge part in what is to happen in the coming days. It will get worse before it gets better. The sorrow of the world will get worse before it gets better.

The rebuilding by the hand of God is slowed—as many things that have been planned by God to be tested by His fire are trying to run and hide—to cover-to change its appearance in order to fool the Lord.

That will not be successful at all. The fire of the Lord will seek out and find all things it is sent to test.

I had some thoughts pop into my mind-some doubt tried to trip me up concerning actions that we took last week. My flesh tried to make me question the following of His Spirit on matters.

But The Lord is so good and full of care and concern for me and for my community of faith, that He spoke to my heart and said , “Fear not my Beloved daughter, you have made no mistake , what you feel is not for wrong to step in but for MY Will to continue to supply you and yours. I have made you an empty vessel in many temporal and some spiritual things. The spiritual things are growing and being changed-transformed into larger, higher levels--the temporal things are being replenished in an abundant amount--Hold on to the truths that you know-look and see that you are filled with the faith that pleases Me. There are spiritual gifts that never go away-they are just lessened as you use them to serve Me with. The same is true for the temporal things. You have used them to serve Me with.”

So, I come to share with all of you that receive this message the same comfort that He has spoken over and in me. The LORD loves you and so do I.

As we wait on the LORD for the directions for this day-until He speaks new-we are to keep doing what He last spoke to each of us. With Joy, Love, Faith and Trust in Him.

Yes, there is a lull in the realm of the Spirit—there is a sense of watching, waiting, and uncertainty. In the Spirit I see empty containers waiting patiently to be filled. These empty vessels would be us.

This emptiness creates in us a void or vacancy that causes us to be uncomfortable And the workers of iniquity will jump at any and every chance to trick us into moving out of the flow of the river of His Spirit so that we are not in place at the appropriate time.

This uneasiness in which the greatest foe of all Fear, tries to return to a place it was evicted from within our hearts by the fire and love of Jesus must not happen!

It tries to return because we don’t have a strong sense of what’s ahead for us. In that space open up to what does live within you—Faith and Trust and the warmth of His Love for us. Jesus cannot lie and will fulfill His Promise to Father God for us.

All of this causes us to become more introspective—and our enemy will take this time of self-reflection, which is a positive action, and attempt to have us question and doubt our following Jesus as He leads us.

The Lord has said for us NOT to make mountains out of molehills. To guard against such actions by our flesh. Don’t allow worry to occupy that empty space that He created in us.

We Are To Keep Trusting in Him and His Promises to God concerning us. TYJ!

To keep trusting Him with what we cannot see or discern for this moment!

Silence is in heaven, see we must also silence our flesh so that we Can Stay in The WILL of GOD.

My Lord, I know that anyone who comes against me comes against the apple of Your Eye! In Jesus’ name I thank You and Praise You for this filling truth about You. Amen. (Zech 2:8)

Zech. 2:13 “ Be still (silent), All flesh before the LORD, for He is aroused and risen from His Holy habitation.” [Hab 2:20; Zeph. 1:7]

My friends Please Listen to me.
He has sent me to remind you that Whatever He lifts up-cuts away from you to be tested by His refiners fire-you do not need And these ‘things’ are standing, blocking, hindering your movement forward in His Will and Purpose.

Let them go through His fire to be tested—if you need them they will make it through the fire.

He has cleared the Path for us to walk by Faith on. Many of you are full of fear which blocks you from trusting His Promise.
Never Fear, Whatever may happen! We are being led!

I heard another prophet of the Lord say—
“WAIT ON THE LORD!” (Psalm 27:14; Isa. 40:28-31)

He Is our Shield-our Help! We Can have No Fear my sisters and brothers! We Must know that All Is Well!

He Will NEVER let anyone do to us, other than His Will For Us! TYJ!
Our LORD, Who Is LORD over our lives (if you have made Him so), Can see the future—He Can read all hearts-He knows better than us What we need!

We have to TRUST Him Absolutely!

He has not left us at the mercy of Fate, or to be buffeted about at the hands and will of others who do not serve Him for our purposes. He is Moving All of that earthly mess off the Path we are to travel!

We Are To FEAR NOT Whatever may happen because we Are Being Led!

Do Not Try to plan-He has made PLANS for us. We are not the architects—but we Are the Builders.

Rest in His Silence—quietness is provided comfort for us to gently rest within—KNOWING that All is for the very best for us!
Know, that our very extremity will ensure His actions for us—We Are to Fully And Completely Trust Him For ALL!

We, having our foundations on The Rock-Christ, Faith in Him and that we are “Being Rooted and Grounded in Him”, And having Belief In His Divinity as our Corner Stone, it is ours to build, KNOWING that All Is WELL!

Listen to me my friends, Literally we have to depend on Jesus for Everything—EVERYTHING!


Remember, David cried out to Him for Help, Ester cried out to Him for Help, Ruth, Hannah, Debra, Job and Daniel All cried out to Him for Help from the depths of their uncertain natural situations; AND He heard them All AND His Voice spoke over them—IT IS ALL WELL!

“The steps of a good man ARE ordered by the LORD.” Psalm 37:23

Please Don’t Allow desperation to bring fear—which Will strongly tempt you to align yourself with the workers of iniquity—these are those that He has cleared Off our Path!

God Loves You, So does Jesus, which flows down to and through me, as I love you all also-I desire that none shall perish-but that All shall be made Whole by completely And willingly joining the Family of The Lord!

In His name, Amen!

your sister in Christ Jesus.

FOR THOSE THAT BELIEVE


1 Corinthians 14:21-22 (Amplified Bible)
21It is written in the Law, By men of strange languages and by the lips of foreigners will I speak to this people, and not even then will they listen to Me, says the Lord.(
A)
22Thus [unknown] tongues are meant for a [supernatural] sign, not for believers but for unbelievers [on the point of believing], while prophecy (inspired preaching and teaching, interpreting the divine will and purpose) is not for unbelievers [on the point of believing] but for believers.

It is A Great Blessing to recognize when you are in the Presence of the LORD!

I was given this Word from His Spirit a few days ago. It is so sweet and enlightening.
However He appears and makes His presence known-To Be able to recognize His presence is a blessing that produces so much fruit to share. It is a blessing to always recoginze Him-to be open to anyway that He so chooses to come to you, because you will not throw away, dismiss, or walk by Him in whatever Form He takes to help you!

It is also a blessing to realize that you have thrown away, stopped contacting, ignored, walked by, or dismissed the things and people that He has used as vessels to be poured out for your life.
Once you have realized that you dismissed what was sent to help you=Go to God and ask His Spirit to reveal to you what you are able to salvage, if you should and how you should.

We can spend the day learning from our mistakes-Or-we can spend the day making new regrets. Each day we can live by His truths or we can keep ourselves on a path that is slowly killing our hearts and spirits by living in denial, being unconvinced and not converted.

Our Good Shepherd, He Is Listening. He strains with an intensity of Love to hear every faint and bold cry from His Children.

He listens closely for the spontaneous words of Love to come from our lips-which means it comes from our hearts as what lives in the heart the mouth will speak.

He Listens for us, Not only when cares and concerns press harder upon already weary hearts—but to see if we would Only come to Him often, daily in quietness, in Joy, in Sharing with Him All the little happenings-Al frets and All Glad Times—we would not be so weary so rundown, so often.

Draw Near to the Lord and He Will draw near to you. James 4:8
“Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord and He Will exalt you!”James 4:10

To keep your Spirit-Life calm and unruffled is all that matters. Leave All to Jesus and this is our great task-to Get Calm and to Stay Calm In His Presence.

To be able to hear Him and then to obey His directions completely-not for one moment allowing anything or anybody to distract you, is the result of spending quiet time with Him and you to be strengthened for all that is to come your way.

To focus on 'not blocking' His light that shines from us for others to see. Our Charge is to stop all else until the peace and quietness, until absolute calm comes over and in you.

Any blockage means His power will be diverted into other channels.


We are to Pour Forth-Pour Forth-Pour Forth everything that He gives us. Jesus cannot bless a life that is unwilling to be a channel for Him.
This is to fully abide in Him – to focus on how many people you can bless each day—Not by keeping a list-but by dwelling more in His presence. Wanting to be taught and changed willingly.

I thank God for His Spirit leading those Called, Tried and True to be His Prophets. These are the people that others dismiss, throw away, ignore, and call crazy. I am thankful that I have a discerning spirit to know Who they are when I cross their paths.

Those of us willing to allow God to use us, know the sting that weak believers and non-believers can cause. People who seem to have stopped growing or are not in a community of faith that teaches about God’s Prophets of Intercessory.

Those that ride shotgun with us.

God calls prophets to be intercessors; to go ahead of-along side of-to guard that which is on the way—in transit. To be alert.

James 3:9-10 (Amp Bible)
9"With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse men who were made in God's likeness! 10 Out of the same mouth come forth blessing and cursing. These things, my brethren, ought not to be so."

Many in the body of Christ have not been taught about these people that are called to be His messenger. Not taught in the belief that God still uses Prophets. So they may dismiss a person who comes with a Word or two or three from God.

This is dismissing the power of God-to ignore the out pouring of God through the vessels He has chosen to use.

God will use any and every Way He so desires to get us the understanding of what He is teaching us. He may use the wind, birds, strangers, neighbors, children, friends and family members, co-workers, our enemies, a commercial on t.v.



He can use the hurt and pain of another, someone’s Joy, Peace and Strength to speak to you about your own life.

Many do not understand the power of the tongue. They use it to cut off what God is speaking to them. “It’s not what I want to hear.” “But this is what I want to know.” Or, they begin to change the subject from the point of the message being spoken for their benefit. This is not a good idea.

Whether you understand the message being given or not is not the point—the point is to receive the message and then go pray about it and God will provide everything you need to have full understanding and wisdom from the message. It Will bear fruit if you allow it to.

There is a lack of spiritual maturity and a desire to grow the way God wants them to grow. They are not able to let go of what is dead—what they have given power to and have convinced themselves they draw strength from—only to ignore What is blocking their way forward. The truth they need to face.

We all do this—but there should come a time and place when a person gets tired of this living this way. It is stagnation. Running in place being busy is not the same as obeying the directions He gives us and then being occupied with our Fathers Work.

Jesus teaches us to start at the beginning and begin to allow Him (by letting go) to cut away the dead things from our yesterdays.

Then will we be able to start with what we have—As it is not possible to start with what we don’t have. Search your heart—look around-are you holding on to relationships, ways of thinking, and acting/re-acting that God either has cut away or is trying to cut from you?

Have you dismissed the new relationships, the new ways of seeing and thinking, of doing, of not doing that He has brought forth into your life?

Are you blocking His Will to prepare you for what He is going to bless you with? To be prepared before the blessings arrive is an assured way be able to hold onto them and see the Fruit produced by them. Or, they will come and you will not be prepared for them. Allowing Jesus to cut away people and bad habits that may tempt you to give them away or allow them to be stolen, is why it is best to allow His pruning of your life to happen.

Has He given you a Prophet to help you embrace and to learn the value you must have to Him? Have you thrown away that person sent to help you by thinking with your old ways; that you don’t need to hear or know what they have to say?

Look around-become balanced by dwelling with Him—drawing closer to Him as He draws closer to you. Understand that He will send these people to ride shot gun with you as you are in transit—spiritually moving from One Glory to the next.

When you are in movement-in transit, you are really going to need the Lords protection as there is much up ahead that you may not have any idea about or how to handle it. You may not be spiritually mature enough to know of or see – to anticipate-it may never cross your mind that there is a remote possibility that these bad, terrible, evil, stupid things could happen to you.

Many situations that we find ourselves within were not All done to us by our enemy—OH, now he does do his share of evil works to us—but most of messes and mazes we find ourselves within, comes from our own hands, our own thinking, and our own hearts. From our inability to let Jesus help us fully. It has to do with being convinced but maybe not converted.

See, it has crossed Jesus’ mind that you will need help—And He Sends the kind of HELP that He knows Will save you and provide the best protection for your travels.

He will call forth a prophet intercessor to ride shotgun with you. Go back and see if you were sent the help you need, but dismissed them.

There goes your blessing.

It is truly a Blessing to be able to recognize the presence of the LORD! Amen!
Lessen yourself so that He may be Increased.

REPAIRERS OF THE BREACH-THE MOVE OF GOD



Isaiah 58:9-12 (Amplified Bible)

9"Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry, and He will say, Here I am. If you take away from your midst yokes of oppression [wherever you find them], the finger pointed in scorn [toward the oppressed or the godly], and every form of false, harsh, unjust, and wicked speaking,

10And if you pour out that with which you sustain your own life for the hungry and satisfy the need of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in darkness, and your obscurity and gloom become like the noonday.
11And the Lord shall guide you continually and satisfy you in drought and in dry places and make strong your bones. And you shall be like a watered garden and like a spring of water whose waters fail not.
12And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of [buildings that have laid waste for] many generations; and you shall be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of Streets to Dwell In."


"Let everything that has breath praise the Lord Praise The LORD!" Psalm 150:6

We all have plenty of Room to Grow Every Day! What I learned yesterday won't carry me far if I stop learning today! On Feet of Peace.


Our family spent Monday and Tuesday watching the unfolding of events that God designed to occur. (Dan 2:21)

Our girls had off from school Tue and Wed along with the MLK Jr. Holiday on Monday. A sisterfriend and her daughter came over Monday to join in our celebrations. We took full advantage of this Movement Of Gods hand to teach our daughters Who they Are in & to America, in & to Jesus, and How they should ‘See’ themselves.

There was Much Rejoicing in this home! We thought about all the people who got us here—they worked and died, some murdered to get us here. We thank God for their lives. You know Those That Praise You Through!

We also thank God for the New Praisers, workers, leaders, All His chosen; we prayed that they will All answer His call to step forward be re-trained by Him and given new directions begin to Lead by Following The Spirit’s Divine Leading without delay. As We are within a Massive Movement of His Spirit leading the way into What He designed for us.

We like so many others prayed for, (And will continue to praise them through), President Obama and his family. We prayed that he will seek God’s Counsel in all matters and challenges that he faces and will face. That no ruler can properly and effectively govern without guidance from God.

For it is God who has put His plan into place that all should follow. For in the end the Government Sits on the shoulders of Jesus and all of us will have to give an account of our days here. To recognize The Son and to know that He is a refuge to All who rule on this earth. (Psalm 2) (1 Tim 2:1-3)

To recognize that This Is God’s Work, is a blessing.
Our Father will call certain Believers to be Repairers of the Breaches that happen over time. You don't have to be on the level of a President. You may be a school bus driver, a city worker, a nurse, self-employed, unemployed, you may be a doctor or teacher. Who ever you are and what ever you do; God can and will call you-chose you to be who He designed you to be. Will you be ready-prepared when you hear His call for you to Come?
Every day we all have room to grow—only those that stay teachable will learn.

We need to remember that Everything God can and will do through President Obama, will not change each person’s heart. That is our job to want to change for the better. That is when we lean on Jesus For His strength, teachings and healing are our help. (Psalms 51:10)

Oh Yes, this is a without a doubt, A Wonderful Enlightening and Exciting Season; but we must remember that the changes that are available for us to be partakers of in our Country, will only take hold permanently if the people actually change the ways they think, act, re-act and don’t act.

To lean on Courage to take the steps necessary, to say I trust You God, I believe in You Father, I have Faith in You Father—then to do what you declare. To put your trust, your belief, and your faith into action and go to Jesus as He beckons you to “COME!”

They will only work if people become selfless and humble and change their hearts. (Psalm 51:10)
What the heart loves the mouth speaks about. (Luke 6:45)

My grandfather used to tell me all the time when i was younger. He would say, " Never forget this, when you free your body only, your mind is still a slave. When you free your mind, the rest of you Will follow. Freedom Will never go out of style. Trust Jesus, Trust God and Trust the Holy Spirit."

And that is the Truth!
Unless the people begin to face the truth about themselves and stop believing the lies they have made into their truths; they will not be partakers of This Divine Abundant Change that we are within. They are turning down His offer in order to continue to create more regrets.

See, we cannot Only keep seeking that our situations be changed by God all the time. He is not going to do that until the situations and circumstances have completed their perfect work in you, me, them, and us. That is not what He has said we should seek anyway-We are taught to Seek His Kingdom-His Righteousness; not material stuff and shallow positions of fame and importance to feed our flesh and pride. That is your fear and ego telling you what to do instead of your Spirit.

We have to allow Patience to have Her perfect Work in us. (James 1:2-4)

Yes there are many life situations that need to be changed for many of God’s children. Are the people going to be ready when the change comes? Sometimes others have to, need to go in and help some of these people. They may not know ‘how’ to begin the acceptance process of changes that are positive. Maybe they have not been around anyone who treats them like a human being, so sometimes they reject what was sent to help them.
This is one reason Jesus said do not be offended. Don’t take it personally.

Have you allowed God to prepare you for Just A Time As This?
When God begins to Work through whoever He has chosen to, and you see the opportunity delivered to you—will you be ready to step into it by faith?

Will you see giants? Will you know of and taste of the Blessings of God’s Promises and still be too fearful to step by Faith and take hold of His promises delivered? Will you be so fearful that you do not believe God when He says that He Is With You?
Will you recognize teh presence of God?

'Now' is the Timing of God; are you going to be a Repairer Of The Breach?

Being aware of the flow of the Holy Spirit is like being in a river of anointing-all the drops are in a continuous unity, an impetus of power connected with the Whole in His perfect Order.

If this is what you seek, then you will know and witness the power of His Grace gone ahead that creates no striving or division; His river of power carrying His Divine Purpose, Joyfully and Willingly moving to its destination.

You can hear the music that is produced by this rivers movement-it has a pattern of synchronicity. Our Commander leads this river of strength and force never stopping till it’s purpose has been completed. To help the chosen believers to repair the breaches.


And your thoughts about January 20.2009 and changes?

FEET OF PEACE

Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson (AFP/Robyn Beck)
**Video of Rev Gene Robinson speaking his Prayer is below**


My grandfather used to tell me all the time when i was younger. He would say, " Never forget this, when you free your body only, your mind is still a slave. When you free your mind, the rest of you Will follow. Freedom Will never go out of style. Trust Jesus, Trust God and Trust the Holy Spirit."

It seems that many people have contacted HBO and others in order to find out the truth as to why Rev. Gene Robinson was basically just dismissed from the broadcast of the Ceremony on Sunday 1.18.09.

Over at Pam's House Blend, I found this out:

You couldn't see Bishop Gene Robinson's prayer at the Lincoln Memorial on HBO's coverage (my earlier post is here), due to its exclusion from the broadcast. That was a decision made by the Obama team, not the cable network, btw (AfterElton):

Contacted Sunday night by AfterElton.com concerning the exclusion of Robinson's prayer, HBO said via email, "The producer of the concert has said that the Presidential Inaugural Committee made the decision to keep the invocation as part of the pre-show." Uncertain as to whether or not that meant that HBO was contractually prevented from airing the pre-show, we followed up, but none of the spokespeople available Sunday night could answer that question with absolute certainty. However, it does seem that the network's position is that they had nothing to do with the decision.
********************

OK, we here, came to that same conclusion also-that why would HBO with their varied types of shows block a Gay Rev? They would have no obvious reason to.

Then it must have been some Obama people. Now the question is, did Obama know about it before hand?

I will not attempt to guess at that conclusion.
I know that God works ALL things out for the Good of those that Love Him.
So I am waiting to see what unfolds from God's Love about this situation. Amen.
Sometimes things will look jackedup! And to us it seems the devil is pushing us 3 steps back when we made one step forward.
But God always has a plan and purpose that will always give Him Good through a situation and regardless of our circumstances He will get the Glory! Amen.

I have located a video of the Rt. Rev. Gene Robinson saying his Prayer to God for us all. And even though he did not say "In Jesus' Name" outloud, I know He meant it in Jesus' name!

Here is a link to Sarah Pulliam of Christianity Today. She took the video and posted it.
UPDATE:
Leah McElrath RennaManaging Partner with Renna Communications, Psychotherapist

And who also contributes at HuffPost posted That they will re-broadcast Rev Gene's Prayer before Obama is sworn in. And that HBO will probably add his prayer into their re-broadcast.

I AM CONCERNED-BUT I CAN'T GET MAD


The Opening Ceremony for Barack Obama on HBO was Fantastic!
We were thrilled by all the great words and singing. We have already been prepared by God for changes and growth toward better. We are already living and walking by Faith in God, So allowing the HOPE that comes from having our First Black President is just added Joy for us. Amen.
AS the ending of the program was apporaching we realized that we must have missed the Rt. Rev. Gene Robinson saying his prayer to God over us all in the name of Jesus.
As I waited for words-thoughts-reactions from the lgbt community concerning the absence of the Rt. Rev. Gene Robinson during the Opening Celebration of Obama's Inauguration; I was going over all that his absence from the broadcast meant, and I just could not get mad.
For us in this home, We began to pray and seek His Wisdom to help us understand and to see His way through this.

Learning How to not allow our emotions to take control of us when things like this happen. Is a gift of the Spirit. Having discernment
to be calm and alert enough to see the truth in as many situations as possible.

Getting mad and angry the wrong way, will not help the situation. Being concerned and seeking some answers from the people that organized the event is a better way to go for me.


Standing for the Truth no matter what excuse they give a better way to go.

We also noticed that they never labeled the Chorus that were performing either.
That is a very good evil strategy, not giving the names of Any of the Choirs so that you don’t have to name the The Washington Gay Men’s Chorus that performed. Stab, Stab, Stab.

This is all so wrong and sneaky that it stinks to High Heaven!
But I have no real anger towards them. I do know that God is in total control. And when I leave things in His hands they Always Work out for the Good and Glory to Him

If who we love threatens so many people, I really feel sad for them. These people must really be living in fear without love.
I just have to stand for the truth
No matter how much anyone wants people that look and live differently than they do to be invisible we will not be able to do that.

I just cannot be mad.
It is just not in me anymore.
Yes, I'm dissappointed, I'm concerned, I can see right through the shallowness of these peoples actions toward us all; and I know we all are in Father God's family Through Christ Jesus.

He was supposed to say a Prayer for us all. I really wanted to hear him speak his prayer to God for us all. I met him back in October '08 and the love that pours from his heart for those that live in and by the Love of God in the name of Jesus, for those that are somewhere inbetween getting to know God, and those that don't know anything about Him; Rev. Gene meets and accepts us all through his enormous heart that God has touched.

He was there and he spoke his Prayer to God for us all, but for some reason, HBO did not broadcast the Pre-Celebration.

I just can't get mad to the point of forgetting who my Father IS.


I understand the strategy they used-they are not that bright at all and evil never does anything new and it never takes a day off.
Which is why I pray all the time.


I checked out
Pam's House Blend and she posted the Rt. Reverands Prayer. Thank you sister Pam!

I am honored to be able to share this beautiful Prayer with you.

From the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire web site:

A Prayer for the Nation and Our Next President, Barack Obama
By The Rt. Rev. V. Gene Robinson, Episcopal Bishop of New Hampshire
Opening Inaugural Event Lincoln Memorial, Washington, DC January 18, 2009


Welcome to Washington! The fun is about to begin, but first, please join me in pausing for a moment, to ask God's blessing upon our nation and our next president.

O God of our many understandings, we pray that you will...
Bless us with tears - for a world in which over a billion people exist on less than a dollar a day, where young women from many lands are beaten and raped for wanting an education, and thousands die daily from malnutrition, malaria, and AIDS.

Bless us with anger - at discrimination, at home and abroad, against refugees and immigrants, women, people of color, gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people.

Bless us with discomfort - at the easy, simplistic "answers" we've preferred to hear from our politicians, instead of the truth, about ourselves and the world, which we need to face if we are going to rise to the challenges of the future.

Bless us with patience - and the knowledge that none of what ails us will be "fixed" anytime soon, and the understanding that our new president is a human being, not a messiah.

Bless us with humility - open to understanding that our own needs must always be balanced with those of the world.

Bless us with freedom from mere tolerance - replacing it with a genuine respect and warm embrace of our differences, and an understanding that in our diversity, we are stronger.

Bless us with compassion and generosity - remembering that every religion's God judges us by the way we care for the most vulnerable in the human community, whether across town or across the world.

And God, we give you thanks for your child Barack, as he assumes the office of President of the United States.

Give him wisdom beyond his years, and inspire him with Lincoln's reconciling leadership style, President Kennedy's ability to enlist our best efforts, and Dr. King's dream of a nation for ALL the people.
Give him a quiet heart, for our Ship of State needs a steady, calm captain in these times.

Give him stirring words, for we will need to be inspired and motivated to make the personal and common sacrifices necessary to facing the challenges ahead.

Make him color-blind, reminding him of his own words that under his leadership, there will be neither red nor blue states, but the United States.

Help him remember his own oppression as a minority, drawing on that experience of discrimination, that he might seek to change the lives of those who are still its victims.

Give him the strength to find family time and privacy, and help him remember that even though he is president, a father only gets one shot at his daughters' childhoods.

And please, God, keep him safe. We know we ask too much of our presidents, and we're asking FAR too much of this one. We know the risk he and his wife are taking for all of us, and we implore you, O good and great God, to keep him safe.

Hold him in the palm of your hand - that he might do the work we have called him to do, that he might find joy in this impossible calling, and that in the end, he might lead us as a nation to a place of integrity, prosperity and peace.
AMEN.

into one that is truthful and fruitful,
When i don't know what to do Lord
as i see myself at times near the mouth of the lion that seeks to devour, steal and kill what You are doing in me and for me,

When there is no one around to help me and it seems that i may fall,
You Lord reach out and remind me that You have been there the whole time and You comfort me,
You Lord supply Every Spiritual and Natural need that we have.
And I believe and i grow.

i declare my love and trust in Your Will for me, for my family, and for my community of Faith in You.
I turn to look away from myself and focus on others that are in need Lord, and I see You!
I share all that You have given to me.
And i believe and i grow.


When You allow my outside obstacles and hinderances to shake me to my core,
You are teaching me,
You are re-molding me,
i kill off my ways of self,
and i see and know that i am between a rock and a hard place.
i Know the Rock is Jesus,
and You will make a Way through all the hard places for me to pass through, over, around or under.
Nothing is too hard for You my Lord.
And i believe and i grow.
As i sit with You My Lord,
as i walk with You My Lord,
as i learn from You my Lord,
as i serve others in Your Name My Lord,
i am reminded of the words of David
I KNOW the thoughts YOU have toward Me My LORD,
All to help me, to give me strength to Finish with Jesus
What YOU Father God have started in my life and for my life. Glory be unto You Father God.

And i believe and i grow.

I know My LORD, that You Are God-My Father, My First Beloved and No One could ever take Your place in my heart and life.

You told us that when we believe in You and follow You-those of us who have given our lives to God in Your name-His namesake; that others would come to condemn and make us think that we are no good enough for You Lord.
Their religious laws will not save them-and we do not follow their religious laws--we follow and adhere to the Laws of Your Holy Spirit-Love & Truth.

No matter how other people judge me, reject me, dismiss me, or even try to tell me HOW YOU feel and see me, I know What YOU Father God in the name of Jesus have Spoken To me in my heart about YOUR LOVE for me, And I know I love you and that I belong to You.

I shall continue to pray your wisdom, knowledge and understanding fall on all these people.
I will still continue to love them.

I know that many have stopped learning from You, many have stopped listening to You and many have stopped talking to You Lord. And many have never even sought You Father, but yet they stand with others to connect through hate.

They seek You not-for they feel they know All there is to know from You from Your Word--from whatever teachings they have experineced concerning You Father. You are too vast for any one person to know All of You.

But i know that we are to learn everyday from You-that we are to seek You everyday-that we are to praise, thank, pray to, listen to YOU every day my Lord.
I dwell in You, i believe and I grow.

But I heard Jesus say that He had more to tell us all, but that we were not ready to learn the rest He knew-so He said He will put it with the Holy Spirit to give to us, and When We Call upon the Wisdom, Guidance and Strength of Your Holy Spirit Your Truth will be given to us-imparted to us.
i believe and i grow.

I Share ALL and Everything that You give me with all that YOU send my way.
I am so grateful for Who You Are To us My LORD.
In Jesus' name I thank You, Amen.

BRING GLAD TIDINGS AND PUBLISH PEACE!


I have to confess to you how wonderful it is that The Lord is always right by my side. I was feeling a slight tugging in my heart, in my spirit and in my soul to begin to look at the storm and the natural lack that is upon my family right now. I tell you, as soon as The Good Shepherd delivers us from one storm, another is always right there to step in the space

Here comes Our enemy trying to use something that God has burned out of me long ago. That weapon of fear is brioken up into pieces, never to be effectively used against me every again!
He wanted me to begin to think of ways on my own to help myself and my family get out of this messy natural lack that is just a storm. LOL, well, that is not going to happen, because there is no one else that I know of that can help us-but Jesus. His Spirit has not told me to do anything like contacting people asking them for help.

You have got to be careful; satan is very crafty and sneaky. He will give you an idea and it will sound so good-but it will not work and will carry you further from your True help.

Jesus knows All things and All people and All ways. This is why I go to Him. The Go-To Man. I know He cares about us and has provided the help we need—it is On The Way to Us! I have no doubts about Him! Amen.

This is why every morning I ask Jesus to help me for ‘This Day’ with any unbelief and weak faith that I may have so that I will make it through this day fully pleasing God. I had enough Faith to start with Jesus that has gotten me to this point of my Journey-this day of my Walk- And I want to make sure I have enough faith, belief and trust to finish with Jesus Amen!

And doubt and frustration will attack and take you down if you are not anchored in Him that controls All storms. Ain’t it a ‘blip’ how when you confess your love for Him, that you Will stay with Him- for He is my Help; how quickly satan will come around and test you on what you believe?

I encourage people all day every day and here I sit, learning, being prepared to do Greater Work for Him and by Him and irritation tried to get the best of me.

I keep praising Him for I do not know who is watching me to see if I will do as I say. Hopefully they will answer the knock at the Door when Jesus Offers. Amen.

I keep praising His sweetness from my lips to encourage myself to stay my focus on Him and not the natural lack. I remember the weapons that I do posses that I must use them in battle against the enemy.

I know that God has allowed us to be in this situation in order to strengthen us, to grow us, to prepare us for where we are going based on His Will and Purpose for our lives. So that we learn to lean Only on Him. To rid from our hearts and flesh anything that is a hindrance to God’s Work in us and through us.

You can know all of this and still be hit with frustration, irritation and a desire to do something to help yourself by natural means. Tricks and traps set out to get us.
See, I know- that satan knows-that it's harder for us to follow Jesus by faith alone-we are not single nor are we a childless couple-- we have 2 children AND I stepped out of the boat and resigned/retired from my career of teaching. So, satan has a lot of stuff to throw in my face in order to try and make me begin to doubt my Sweet Jesus. God must have a LOT for me to do to! I seem to be very important to the enemy!
But remember, I know this.

Have you ever looked at your life that way? You begin to Live for The Trinity, and all of a sudden, storms and issues begin to come at you from every direction outtatheblu! You must also be important to the enemy to try and stop. By stop I mean he is trying to make us leave Jesus-to go back to our old lives-our old fears, thinking, and thoughts.
He begins to throw Spiritual things at us that manifest in our natural lives and it wears us down, tires us out--frustrates us and irritates us to the point we may stop Walking and Living In The Fruits of The Spirit!

Remember that, his goal is not about your personally-but about Fighting against God-trying to stop God's Will and purpose! It's not about us!

Yesterday I had picked up the girls from school and we were going to get something to eat. I was watching where I was driving and out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of a license tag. I slowed down so that car could be in front of me and lo and behold, there it was.

My answer to the question I asked Father yesterday morning. I said to Jesus, is there anything I need to do that will help me Lord? Now I had been praising Him, and worshipping Him and speaking His truth out all day. I knew a month ago that this day would be here with its natural lack.

On the license tag was ‘Psalm 34’! I knew immediately that it was His answer.

I hollered out Praises and kept repeating it so I would remember to read it when I got home. His answer was, “Yes, eat and drink of this Psalm, then share it with all the others-that is all I require you to do.”

Well, one thing led to another once we got home. I got busy with the girls, food, homework, clothes for the next day, and with other things and forgot about reading the Psalm.

Later around 11pm droopy eyed with sleep approaching- I was clearing all the papers and books off the bed, I reached for my beloved’s Bible to move it to the ottoman at the foot of our bed—as soon as I touched it-I was reminded by His Spirit that I had not read Psalm 34! A quickening hit me and all of a sudden sleep left me long enough to read it aloud and feel His truth comfort me in the midst of this storm of lack.

Thank You Jesus for You are reminding me of our Father’s Promises spoken to me.

Inspiration set in this morning and I wrote the Psalm as I read all His Word—in the Present tense.
Ain’t The Lord Good? With Joy LOL Yes He Is!


So I come o greet you with feet of peace, joy and encouragement to you in order to bring you glad tidings.

I come to say aloud, Father God, thank You for the trials, troubles and worries that You allow to come into our lives in Your family-for they are a sharpening tool for our souls.

"How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of those who bring glad tidings . . . that publish Peace."

When I am weary I think on the truth that mine are the feet of one who brings glad tidings. This will take weariness from my steps; and will replace it with Joy and a spring to my walk. Yes Lord!

"Bringeth glad tidings. Publisheth Peace."

What a joyful mission that He has given to us all to help our focus stays on Him. This is all true for all that desire to confess that your help comes from Jesus.

A mission of gladness and Peace. Please, Never forget this, and the Joy of your message and mission will radiate from you gladdening and transforming all that pass by your way.
You must say "Thank You" for everything, even those trials and worries.


His Joy who lives in us, is our whole being's attitude of "Thank You" to Him. I say Be Glad And Rejoice! Our Father loves to see His children happy at all times-no matter the circumstances-because His children Know their help is coming from Him that is faithful to His Word. Amen.

Jesus is revealing so much to us. We have the Charge to Pass it on to all that are thirsty and hungry for Freedom and unconditionaLove that Only He can give. We are Not to hoard anything that He has given to us. We are to share everything with others.

We have to realize that Each Truth is a priceless jewel. Some poor spirit-impoverished friend will be glad that you continue to speak encouragement and trust and faith in Lord Jesus. Drop one jewel here and one jewel there-for those that are not rich to find. Feed their lack of strength in their spirit-speak His peace and joy to all who cross your path.

Seek to find a home in your heart for each Truth He has imparted to you. This will create a secure path for More Truths to flow in. He teaches that we Use all He gives us- To Help others praise their way through! Amen.

I believe that Jesus works out ways with a aching desire to find a way into each life and heart, for all to cry expectantly, "Even so come Lord Jesus."

He wants us to understand that in order to help ourselves—we must be willing to help others, even as we sit in the midst of a storm(s), trusting and faithfully awaiting His help in our natural situations and circumstances.

That is the only thing we can do to help ourselves get through with the victory.

Anything else is not of Him and will take you further from your help and the opened doors!

“In every thing give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” 1Thessalonias 5:18

AHHHHTHE BLESSINGS OF THE LORD pt.2

As we start this day Father, In the name of Jesus, Let us bring our Whole praise into Your storehouse, I bring all that is dear and important to me into Your storehouse, I bring all that concerns my heart, my lack, my shortcomings, parts of me in which I have weak faith and all unbelief in You-and I place it All into Your storehouse Father; as You have instructed us to do in order to Prove You Father!

My Lord Allow me to Thank Jesus for everything that He has done for us-But more Importantly I want to thank You for All that You have done and are doing In me. For the changes in me are greater than the changes for me. As I allow You to Work In me, all that we need will be provided for us in the natural.

LORD In the Name of Jesus, I come to You to offer what I have into Your hands-For this day I ask that You help me with any unbelief I may have-for this day I ask that You help me with any weak faith that may be in my soul. It is not by my strength and power that I will make it through this one day—but by Your Grace, Mercy and Righteousness that me and my family will be able to face all challenges in Your truth, that we will be able to see and use every opportunity that You supply to grow, help others, and to spread Your Gospel to those that are also in need.

Today Jesus, as every day, We Need Your presence and Love to help us along this path. Jesus-Please go forth before us We are following You.
Thank You Father God In the Name of Jesus-thank You for the trials and troubles, for Your blessings, Your favor, and for Your unconditional Love. Amen.
It's Always Time To Do The Right Thing.

We need more people that belong to Jesus to be willing to tell the truth to those that believe and live within the lies they have turned into their truth. From my experiences, I have learned that many people run from the truth. Most of these people sought the truth (seeking God) and when they found it—ran from it.

I think they speak out about wanting the truth from Jesus in front of others to give the impression that they are on the same path of righteousness. To appear to be part of His family. But when what they seek Him for is given to them-they cut off all contact, and avoid the messengers God has sent to speak the truth. They want Jesus to heal their physical hurt and pain-they want Him to make their living conditions better by providing the stuff of convenience; but not to give them total forgiveness for their sins.

I encourage all Not to allow your weaknesses to control you. To Not put yourself into positions where you will give in to your weaknesses-your weaknesses will drown you in shallow waters.
God will provide His people to be in your life to stop you and to tell you the truth.

People who are not swayed by public opinion-people who not concerned with impressing other people-people who have given their lives to God in the name of Jesus and who will not stop doing the Fathers work for any reason.
Truth Tellers!

David allowed his weakness for conquering women to push him into sin against God. Into some shallow water that will drown even those that know how to swim. When he looked down from his roof at Bathsheba and allowed his fleshy desires to control his decision to ‘have her’— he fell out of God’s grace when he acted on the control of his weakness.

God sent His prophet Nathan to speak the truth to David. And to send the message of what it would take to be restored back into Gods Grace and Will.

I have found that many people get miffed when I cut them off from going too far into their frustrations and weaknesses, in order to provide correction and encouragement. To provide them with a higher view of their situations that is not linear. I have learned that many just want to vent and dump their toxic waste on my ground and then that is all. Well, that is not going to happen here.

When God brings to the surface our shortcomings, weaknesses, our open wounds, pain and hurt, our fears, our mistakes and any unbelief that we may have it is to flush it all out. To face it and allow Him to fill in the spaces with more of Him-more of His unconditional Love is The goal.

Many people are on a path of continuing to create new regrets!
Allowing people a small space to vent in order to learn how they see themselves within their issues, situations and circumstances is necessary in order to that the helper is able to offer Effective help. But allowing them to go on and on for hours, days, weeks, or even months talking about their frustrations, worries, and fears will do them no good.

True we all feel better after we vent-when many voice these negatives—that ‘feel good’ time will quickly stop if the person does not begin to seek positive changes for their thinking, their speaking and the way they view themselves and God. Just voicing these concerns will not effectively change them. Doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result is fruitless and somewhat insane. That is not the Way that Jesus teaches us to be.

Telling the truth to yourself by facing any weaknesses and shortcomings will put you on a path of spiritual growth and maturity. It is up to us to make every effort to stay on this path. It puts you in a place where positive and productive growth and maturity enables you to trust in and have stronger faith in Jesus.
Facing the mistakes you have made and forgiving yourself will help you gain in strength. Asking Jesus to reveal to you what you can and must learn from your mistakes is vital to your spiritual life.

If you cannot face inner truth, then how will you be able to face outward obstacles and trouble? How will you be able to see the truth in the outward hindrances that this world has created to stop us and make us give up on Jesus?

If you do not acknowledge that it is sometimes challenging and difficult to stay this path by our own power, knowledge, strength, wisdom, and understanding—to face and accept that we need His strength and guidance-His Will and Purposes for each and every day as we have weak faith and unbelief for certain things; then you will not be able to reap the harvest that is already provided In His promised land. To be prepared when what God has prepared for you is delivered into your hands, just as He said He would do. He is the One that prepares us.

Contrary to popular belief=We cannot help ourselves.

In Numbers 13 it says that 12 had the desire and took inventory of the Promised Land. All 12 had the desire to go in-BUT only 2 were willing to be prepared by God and then to fight the good fight of Faith that would enable them to go in and take the Blessing—to Possess it as God had given it to them.

By Faith we use the courage that will always lift us up higher to be qualified to take possession of the Blessings of the Lord that bring no sorrow.

We have to hush our spirit—self must die-not by our power or combating-not really by prayer of supplication-but by our consciousness of His presence and by the values of His Spirit. We have to dry up, crumble and blow away.

Those 10 men really wanted to believe what God spoke to them. They had faith to start, but not enough to finish. They also were so weak in their faith that they allowed their weaknesses to control them and they proceeded to convince all the people that they should not bother about going to possess the land that God had provided.

Many people really want to obey—but will not understand that they cannot take wilderness thinking with them into the Promised Land of The Blessings of the Lord.

Or, do they really just want the natural conveniences that God can and does supply to us without doing their part that is required by faith?

You can’t obey to a point of the journey and just stop because it is getting difficult or challenging at the moment. The pain and trouble will only last for a moment. The blessings will last forever. Allow Jesus to Work In you and then you will rec’ what you want Him to do for you.

For He knows the plans that He has for us. As we were allowed to be put into the situations and circumstances by His Will-that Will try us by His refining fire, that the outside obstacles will reveal inner obstacles—none of which we can by our human power overcome. That as we come to realize we cannot do anything Good without Him-We Will seek, inquire for, require, and request His directions and favor; we Will pray to Him and call to Him and come to Him. Then we Will find Him, He Will hear us, He will allow our hearts to learn from Him as He is a vital necessity for our lives.

We Will Seek Him and He says that We will find Him, and He Will release us from our natural and spiritual captivity. Then He will carry us from the place He allowed our egos, pride, and selfish desires to take us to-back into His warmth and Goodness-back to the place where He Holy Spirit will rain down His blessings from His storehouse---Back into His multi-folded Love because our trust and faith in Him Proved Him True!

No matter what your circumstances are right now at this moment-do not allow your weaknesses to control you and you fall from the grace of God and give Him displeasure concerning your choices.
Remember, faith is not contagious—going to church on Sundays and sitting next to who you feel is full of strength and faith in the Lord will not make you catch some.
You have to spend much more time in His presence-in prayer and praise to Him than what Sunday morning, Wed., And Friday night offer you. Nor can you only call upon Him when trouble rises to greet you.
You can’t’ measure faith by natural ways. Only by consistently calling on Him—going to Him for Everything-only this will keep you balanced and secure within His Will and Purposes for your life.
Seek His Kingdom-His Righteousness-by dealing with your personal dysfunctions when He brings them to the surface, And getting up in the morning and telling the Lord that You Will Bless and Praise Him at all times!

Remember it’s easy to trust in and have faith in God when you have enough money and things to not be worried or concerned about “how are you going to …”

It’s another thing to be in natural lack in areas of your life and have to trust in and have faith in Him. Then Will you grow and mature-then will He be able to prepare your heart for His Work.
Amen.


TO THE LISTENING EAR HE SPEAKS-TO THE WAITING HEART HE COMES.

AHHHHH, THE BLESSINGS OF THE LORD...pt.1

(our girls this morning before leaving to go to the parade)

Hello to you my friends, my sisters and brothers in Christ.

As I sat here, after my partner and daughters made their way to Raleigh this morning for the Inaugural Parade for our new NC Governor - the first Woman to hold this office; I was excited about having so much time to myself while at home!

I know Many of you fully understand what I am speaking about.

Our daughters are Jr. Girl Scouts and the Girl Scouts of NC were invited to be in the parade today and I tell you—they did not fully understand what an inauguration is, or all the things a Governor does- they had no problem understanding that they are to be in the parade.
They were also excited that we have a woman as Governor in our state. We always encourage them to not allow other peoples negative and sometimes oppressive opinions of females to stop them from doing what they desire to do.

They will also be spending the night at the Marbles Museum for a Girl Scout project. Need I tell you how excited they are about this opportunity? LOL

Okay, now back to my being home alone for such a long length of time.
As I sat here mulling over All the things I could do in this time, I heard in my Spirit, Ahhh The Blessings Of The Lord come with no sorrow.
And my soul rested even deeper within His love for us.

I thought –I can finish washing the clothes before they become taller mountains, or I could vacuum and straighten the rooms in the house, or I could take a long shower without anyone needing to come in and break my tranquil silence, or I could talk on the phone without interruptions, or I could start a fire in the fireplace on the porch and even though it’s a pretty cold and windy day—sit and enjoy the birds and the other animals that come to our yard in search of food. It looks like a Bird Buffet out there- lol.

I could take a nap which would not hurt as He has been waking me up between 3 and 6 every morning for over a month.

So many things I could do I sat here thinking and when I heard what His Spirit said, I decided to sit, rest, and do nothing but spend some more time with Jesus.

The blessings of the Lord.....
I love my children and my partner very much. I love being with them at home and out and about. We did not seek each other out by looking in natural ways—we were brought together by His Will and Purposes for our lives. Neither of us was looking for a relationship to begin with—but I’m so glad that we both obeyed the Leading of His Spirit. I am so grateful to God for providing me with His treasured people that He Loves and provides for.

But now that we have had to take them out of the after school program because the money is needed elsewhere for our family-they are getting home at 2:30 instead of 5pm. Not much time for me to do and complete, a lot of anything before my attention and strength have to be given to them.

I do not have the daily time that I had during first semester of school. The time that I need pulling myself away from all the noise and confusion that thrives in the world. The time To keep myself rested, calm, prepared, strong, and among many other things; restored in order to continue to lead us on the Path of His righteousness.

There is a balance that has to be maintained in order not to tip over to far to one side.
Only God can give me and help me maintain this balance.

I am the type of person who has no problem being by herself-in fact I have to have this kind of time-if not-I get cranky, fussy, irritable, frustrated and sometimes if too much time has passed I get snappy at things that usually do not bother me at all. Hurting those I love because I need to use self-control to stop my tiredness form lashing out.

Not what I want for my family or for myself. Too much energy wasted living like that. So I have to have time to myself on a daily basis-and because God knows what I need before I realize what I need—He provides every opportunity for me to have such spaces of ‘me time’. I make sure to look around in search of any and every opportunity that He may have provided throughout each day.

It has been a while since I have been given an opportunity to have this much time. From 9am Saturday till about 9am on Sunday. Now, many of you would think—that is a short amount of time to call long. Well, not for me. I savoir each moment of each hour when space like this comes my way compared to about 5 hours a day during the week.

So I sat down prepared to record the parade and to look for my people in the crowds there, getting ready to decide on ‘what’ I was going to do, and His inspiration came pouring forth like a water faucet that is broken in the on position. Amen.

Today is a wonderful day with so many of His opportunities sent forth for us to partake of. I don’t want to miss any of them. But I do need to just sit and do nothing for anyone else right now.

To be replenished, restored, and strengthened is what I know I need, and with this need I went to Jesus and sat it all down in front of Him and I sat there also and just began to Enjoy His presence.

The faith and belief I had for yesterday may be lacking for today’s purposes and tasks, which I inquire about before I begin to do anything for each day.

I pray the Father help All with their unbelief and weak faith.
As we daily wait on the Lord to deliver our answered prayers, as each day goes by without some of them being revealed—the heart will grow faint and weak and doubt and fears can creep in and begin to sway you toward a different belief path.

Satan wants to entice you into believing that you can make your desires happen and come true by yourself—that you don’t need Jesus to help you.
WRONG! Don’t you try to do things on your own-by your own ‘good ideas’—Stay away from the shiny temporary things. Do not allow him to give you lies and then you make them your truths!

That is a terrible trap to fall into. Be patient and learn to allow Him to help you with your unbelief and weak faith in His Promises to you.

I know that we need to ask daily, for Him to help us with our unbelief and any weak faith we may have for concerning any promise that you believe Him for.

So here I sit writing from the inspiration provided by His Holy Spirit and I must say, I am full of what keeps us going by faith. Amen.

To the listening ear He speaks. To the waiting heart, He comes!

He restoreth my soul and fills my cup till it overflows! He leadth me down the path of His Righteousness-Such a Good Shepherd that we follow! Amen
