HOLD ON TO YOUR FAITH

TODAY'S MESSAGE IN CHURCH WAS REALLY ON TIME.  I SHARED THAT I HAD BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH ANXIETY AND SINCE THAT POST, IT HAS GOTTEN A LOT BETTER. I SLEEP AT NIGHT (SOUNDLY) NOW. BUT I STILL HAVE ANXIETY ATTACKS AT TIMES. I KNEW THAT THE ANXIETY WAS A RESULT OF FEAR AND THAT FEAR HAD BEEN THERE SINCE CHILDHOOD. I TALKED TO SOMEONE EARLIER THIS WEEK AND THEY ASKED ME WHERE I THINK IT CAME FROM. I HAD TO BE HONEST AND SAY THAT ALTHOUGH I BELIEVE GOD FOR EVERYONE ELSE SOMETIMES I HAVE ISSUES BELIEVING GOD FOR ME. THE PERSON I SPOKE TO GAVE ME SOME GODLY ADVICE. THEY SAID WHEN I FELT AN ATTACK COMING ON TO PRAY IN THE SPIRIT OR QUOTE THE WORD OF GOD; I ALSO WROTE A PROFESSION BASED ON SCRIPTURE. IN CHURCH TODAY THE MESSAGE WAS ABOUT FAITH AND UNBELIEF AND IT WAS SO RELEVANT TO WHAT I AM GOING THROUGH. IT WAS RELEVANT TO THE BODY OF CHRIST PERIOD. IN THIS TIME OF TESTING WE MUST MAKE SURE WE HOLD FAST TO OUR FAITH AND CAST DOWN EVERY THOUGHT THAT EXALTS ITSELF AGAINST THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD.

2 CORINTHIANS 10
3.For though we walki n the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ

EGYPT IS IN RUINS...KEEP MOVING AHEAD.

I HAD A DREAM LAST NIGHT THAT I WENT TO MY FATHER'S HOUSE WITH MY CHILDREN AND AS I LOOKED UP AT THE SKY THE CLOUDS WERE ROLLING. I KNEW A STORM WAS COMING AND FAST SO I TOLD MY CHILDREN TO GET DOWN IN THE CAR AND WE GOT AS LOW AS WE COULD. WHEN THE STORM HAD PASSED THE CAR WAS GUTTED; IT WAS JUST A FRAME BUT WE WERE OKAY. I DROVE MY FATHER'S OLD TRUCK TO MY HOME AND THE CHILDREN AND I BEGAN TO GET OUT AND HEAD BACK INTO MY HOUSE. I WOKE UP AND I WAS LIKE LORD WHAT WAS THAT?...WHAT DOES THAT MEAN. GOD TOLD ME TO LOOK OVER THE DREAM. MY FATHER'S HOUSE IS WHERE I USED TO LIVE. WHEN I LEFT; I LEFT BECAUSE GOD TOLD ME TO LEAVE AND I LEFT WITH URGENCY. NO MATTER LIFE'S STORMS WE CAN FIND SAFETY IN GOD. IF WE COME BEFORE HIM IN HUMILITY THERE IS NO SAFER PLACE; NO MATTER WHAT IS GOING ON OUTSIDE. IF GOD DELIVERED YOU FROM SOMETHING DON'T GO BACK TO IT; STAY DELIVERED. THERE ARE SOMETHINGS I STILL WANT, THAT I SHOULDN'T WANT BUT IF IT WILL LEAVE MY LIFE LOOKING LIKE THE AFTERMATH OF A GREAT AND TERRIBLE STORM; I'LL PASS. RESIST TEMPTATION.


I LIKE TO USE SCRIPTURE WHILE BLOGGING. I LOOKED FOR A SCRIPTURE ABOUT STORMS AND I CHOSE THIS ONE BECAUSE GOD LED ME TO READ LEVITICUS 10 THIS MORNING WHICH TALKS ABOUT STRANGE FIRE 

ISAIAH 29

1 Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt ! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices.2 Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel.3 And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee. 4 And thou shalt be brought down , and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.5 Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passeth away : yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.6 Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.

THIS IS THE GENERATION

This morning I went to the laundromat to wash. All day long I kept smelling  a scent that smelled like freshly washed laundry and I knew it was significant.



PSALM 51

1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving kindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.<br>
2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned , and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest , and be clear when thou judgest . 
5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know
wisdom.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean : wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice .
9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 
11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee

Ephesians 5:26,27

26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish

 

 

 

UNITY

TODAY MY MOM PRAYED FOR ME. I AM 35 YEARS OLD AND I DON'T THINK I HAVE EVER HEARD MY MOM PRAY. I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH ANXIETY. I  TAKE THE MEDICINE I WAS GIVEN AT NIGHT TO RELAX ENOUGH TO SLEEP. FOR A FEW DAYS NOW I HAVE BEEN CRYING AND CRYING. I HAD STUFFED SO MANY THINGS DOWN TRYING TO BE STRONG THAT IT HAD BECOME OVERWHELMING. GOD TOLD ME TODAY THAT THE DEVIL DIDN'T WANT ME TO KNOW HOW MUCH HE (GOD) LOVES ME. I THOUGHT ON THAT; ALL THE ATTACKS; ALL THE HURT WERE JUST SEEDS THAT GREW INTO FEAR; THAT EVENTUALLY BEGAN TO AFFECT MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD BECAUSE THEY CAUSED ME TO QUESTION HOW HE FELT ABOUT ME. MY MOM HAS A HARD TIME SHOWING AFFECTION AND THE DEVIL REALLY USED THAT AGAINST ME DURING MY CHILDHOOD, AS I GOT OLDER I REALIZED THAT JUST ABOUT ALL THE WOMEN IN MY FAMILY HAVE A HARD TIME SHOWING AFFECTION AND JUST ABOUT EVERY WOMAN DOES NOT LIKE PEOPLE TO SEE THEM HURT...WE WANT TO BE STRONG. SOMETIMES YOU JUST AREN'T STRONG; SOMETIMES YOU NEED SUPPORT. I WATCHED MY MOM WATCHING ME AND I SAW THE LOVE IN HER EYES. I THEN THOUGHT ABOUT ALL THE TRICKS OF THE ENEMY TO DIVIDE. TO MAKE PEOPLE FEEL UNLOVED; UNWANTED, TO DIVIDE THEN CONQUER.  I THOUGHT ABOUT HOW WHEN YOU ARE IN RELATIONSHIP WITH SOMEONE YOU CAN FEEL WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THEM, HOW GOD WILL TELL YOU TO PRAY FOR THEM ETC. BUT WHEN THERE HAS BEEN A BREACH FOR WHATEVER REASON YOU AREN'T THERE FOR THAT PERSON LIKE YOU NEED TO BE. GOD TOLD ME A WHILE AGO HE WAS SEPARATING THE WHEAT FROM THE TARE. I THINK HE MEANT LIGHT FROM DARK. THE BODY OF CHRIST IS THE BODY OF CHRIST.THE ENEMY HAS REALLY BEEN ATTACKING THE BODY; I PRAY THAT WE BAND TOGETHER.

TRUE REPENTANCE

I WATCHED A MOVIE LAST NIGHT ABOUT A GROUP OF YOUNG ADULTS PUTTING ON A YOUTH REVIVAL. A LOT OF THE YOUNG ADULTS WERE LEADING DOUBLE LIVES...BEING PART-TIME CHRISTIANS. I AM SETTLED ENOUGH IN MY MATURITY AS A PERSON AND A CHRISTIAN NOT TO DO ALOT OF THE THINGS THAT I USED TO DO BUT GOD TOLD ME I COULD NO LONGER DO ANY OF THE THINGS I USED TO DO, THAT I SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN DOING (LITTLE FOXES). GOD TALKED TO ME ABOUT HOW PEOPLE GET SO WRAPPED UP IN THIER LIVES THAT THEY FORGET THE REAL PURPOSE OF THIS LIFE...TO GATHER AS MANY SOULS THAT WE CAN TO BE SAVED. GOD ALSO TOLD ME THAT NOW WAS A TIME TO BE PRODUCTIVE EVEN THOUGH I FELT THAT I HAD BEEN IN A PLACE OF BARRENESS THAT I WAS IN A HURRY TO LEAVE.HE SAID THAT IN THIS PLACE I WOULD BE STRENGTHENED AND WHILE I AM HERE TO YIELD FRUIT,TO TEND TO MY GARDEN. I WENT TO THE WATER THIS MORNING AND IT BROUGHT ME TO A PLACE OF REPENTANCE. IF I HAD BEEN IN THE LORD AS I SHOULD HAVE I WOULD HAVE AVOIDED A LOT OF THE THINGS I AM DEALING WITH. I TOLD THE LORD HOW SORRY I WAS. I AM CHANGING MY FOCUS AND PLACING GOD FIRST AGAIN AS HE ALWAYS SHOULD HAVE BEEN.


Mark 12:30 KJV
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

PSALM 18

19. HE BROUGHT ME FORTH ALSO INTO A LARGE PLACE; HE DELIVERED ME,BECAUSE HE DELIGHTED IN ME.

SEED TIME

GOD HAS REALLY BEEN DEALING WITH ME ABOUT SPENDING TIME WITH HIM. I HAVE HEARD THE TEACHING THAT YOU SHOULD SOW WHAT YOU WANT; AND HOW SINCE THERE ARE TWENTY FOUR HOURS IN THE DAY YOU SHOULD BE SEEDING AT LEAST TWO HOURS AND FOURTY MINUTES. HOW MANY PEOPLE REALLY DO THAT? DAILY LIFE CAN BE HECTIC, BUT IF A DAY GOES BY AND WE HAVEN'T DONE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING; WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT HOW WE SPENT OUR DAY? I'M GOING TO MAKE A SINCERE EFFORT TO GIVE GOD A WORTHY SACRIFICE OF TIME.

Galatians 6:7 KJV
Be not deceived ; God is not mocked : for whatsoever a man soweth , that shall he also reap ,,,,

RECONNECTION

TODAY IN CHURCH I SAW A VISION OF TWO DAMS AND GOD SAID THAT HE IS CONNECTING THE WATERS. I HAVEN'T HAD A VISION IN A WHILE; I WAS IN A DRY PLACE BUT GOD TOLD ME THAT I HAD LET CIRCUMSTANCES AFFECT ME AND I BLOCKED HIM OUT. ISN'T THAT SOMETHING, HERE I AM SEEKING AND WANDERING WHY MY WORSHIP WASN'T THE SAME AND I HADN'T HAD VISIONS LIKE I NORMALY DO AND I HAD UNCONSCIOUSLY BLOCKED GOD ALMIGHTY OUT. I LET DOUBT CREEP IN AND IT AFFECTED MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. GOD TOLD ME TODAY THAT HE WOULD LET NOTHING KEEP ME FROM HIM AGAIN; HALLELUJAH. I LOVE YOU LORD AND I NEED YOU TO SURVIVE.

SORRY

I JUST SAW THE ADVERTISEMENT THAT CAME WITH ONE OF THE WIDGETS ON MY PAGE SORRY...IT HAS BEEN DELETED.

A MADE UP RENEWED MIND...WHOSE REPORT WILL YOU BELIEVE

THERE IS SO MUCH THAT I WANT TO GET OUT IN THIS POST SO FORGIVE ME AHEAD OF TIME IF I RAMBLE. LAST YEAR GOD CHALLENGED ME TO PUT TOGETHER A PUZZLE; THIS SEEMS SIMPLE BUT I HAD NEVER BEEN ABLE TO PUT A PUZZLE TOGETHER; NOT BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE THE ABILITY BUT BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE THE PATIENCE. I STARTED WITH A 100 PIECE PUZZLE...I HAD TO CALM MYSELF BEFORE I STARTED AND THEN I PUT IT TOGETHER. THIS YEAR GOD HAS BEEN PUTTING TOGETHER THE PUZZLE OF MY LIFE. I HAD A FEW HEALTH SCARES (AND I DO MEAN SCARES); AND THEY LED TO ME DISCOVERING A FEW THINGS ABOUT MYSELF. YEARS AGO A PASTOR PRAYED FOR ME AND PRAYED THAT GOD WOULD BALANCE MY SERATONIN LEVELS. I'M NO DOCTOR BUT I KNEW THAT SERATONIN WAS A CHEMICAL PRODUCED BY THE BRAIN. I WENT ON AND EVENTUALLY FORGOT ABOUT THE PRAYER. AS REVEALED IN EARLIER POSTS I WAS AROUND THRIRTEEN WHEN I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH BELLS PALSEY AND I REMEMBER THE DOCTOR STATING PEOPLE YOUR AGE REALLY DON'T GET THIS. YEARS LATER AS AN ADULT A DOCTOR TOLD ME I HAD A NERVOUS TWITCH AND IT WAS SOMETHING HE DID NOT SEE IN PEOPLE AS YOUNG AS I WAS. THE ABOVE WAS JUST A LITTLE BACKGROUND; ITS TIME TO GO DEEPER. I TOLD MY TESTIMONY IN ONE OF MY EARLIEST POSTS. I TOLD HOW I HAD COME INTO CONTACT WITH A WARLOCK POSING AS A PREACHER. I ALSO TOLD HOW I WOULD GO HOME AND FEEL HIS PRESENCE IN MY HOUSE BUT I WOULDN'T TELL ANYONE BECAUSE I KNEW HOW CRAZY IT SOUNDED SO I JUST SORT OF ACCEPTED BEING TERRORIZED (I HAVE HEARD OF ONE BUT I'M SURE ITS MORE THAN ONE PERSON HE DID THIS TO THAT ENDED UP IN A MENTAL INSTITUTION). ONE DAY I CAME INTO CONTACT WITH A GODLY PASTOR WHO BEGAN TO PROPHESY. SHE TOLD ME THAT I HAD COME INTO CONTACT WITH SOMEONE AND IT WAS AS IF THEY WERE HAUNTING ME...I SCREAMED. WHAT A RELIEF IT WAS THAT SOMEONE KNEW. GOD TOLD ME I COULD TRUST HER (GOD HAS NEVER TOLD ME I COULD TRUST SOMEONE, AND I HAVE HAD TRUST ISSUES). I BEGAN TO TELL HER ABOUT IT... IT WAS TRULY A MOVE OF GOD; I WOULD REVEAL SOME AND SHE WOULD PROPHESY SOME...GOD THROUGH HER BEGAN TO LOOSE THIS MAN'S HOLD ON ME. ABOUT A FEW WEEKS AGO I STARTED HAVING ISSUES IN MY HEALTH; I HATE GOING TO DOCTORS BUT I FOUND MYSELF RUNNING TO THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE AND EMERGENCY ROOM ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASSION. I STARTED HAVING TROUBLE SLEEPING; DURING ONE OF THESE EPISODES I HAD SLEPT ONLY ABOUT TWO HOURS IN TWO DAYS. DURING CHURCH THAT WEEK THE PASTOR PROPHESIED THAT THE HEALTH PROBLEMS SOMEONE HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING WERE MORE THAN JUST ORDINARY HEALTH PROBLEMS THEY WERE THE RESULT OF WITCHCRAFT. I SUPRISED MYSELF AT HOW FAST I JUMPED UP AND GOT TO THE ALTAR. I WANTED DELIVERANCE! LATER THAT DAY I BEGAN TO FEEL BAD AGAIN AND WENT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM WHERE I BELIEVE GOD PUT ME IN CONTACT WITH A DOCTOR WHO WOULD REALLY TAKE THE TIME TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. HE KNEW I HAD NOT BEEN SLEEPING; HE KNEW THAT I WAS OVERLY STRESSED. HE PUT ME ON ANXIETY MEDICINE AND I AM A PERSON THAT TOOK MYSELF OFF BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICINE (FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS UNTIL RECENTLY) SO ITS NOT LIKE I WANTED A QUICK FIX BUT I DID WANT THIS SITUATION FIXED. I AM BELIEVING GOD FOR A COMPLETE DELIVERANCE BUT UNTIL THEN...! I HAVE BEEN THINKING AND THINKING LATELY. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING OVER MY LIFE AND PUTTING PIECES OF INFORMATION TOGETHER. I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT HOW JUST ABOUT EVERY DISEASE HAS A ROOT...WHETHER FEAR,BITTERNESS,SELF HATE ETC. I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT HOW I SEEMED TO BE OKAY UNTIL MY BIBLE ON DVD BROKE; IT MAY SEEM ODD BUT IT WAS LIKE MY SPIRIT BEING FED AT NIGHT COMBATTED AGAINST WHAT INFORMATION THE DEVIL TRIED TO FEED ME DURING THE DAY. I HAVE BEEN THINKING ON HOW MY PASTOR SPOKE OF THE LAST REVIVAL BEING A REVIVAL OF THE MIND. "I'M READY". IT IS MY AIM TO SEEK GOD UNTIL MY MIND IS RENEWED COMPLETELY. I WANT THE WORD OF GOD IN ME ACTIVATED IN SUCH A WAY THAT I NEVER THINK THE SAME AGAIN. IN CHURCH ONE DAY WE TALKED ABOUT ABRAHAM AND WHAT CAME UP IN MY SPIRIT WAS DON'T AGREE WITH THE DEVIL. HE'S BREATHING OUT THREATS; HE'S USING PEOPLE TO PLANT SEEDS; HE'S DOING WHATEVER HE CAN TO GET US TO COME INTO AGREEMENT WITH HIM AND GIVE IN. TO GIVE HIM USE OF THE POWER GOD HAS GIVEN US; TO COMMIT SPIRITUAL SUICIDE. A WHILE BACK MY COUSIN TOLD ME ABOUT A DREAM SHE HAD ABOUT ME... SHE SAID WE WERE RUNNING AND SOMEONE WAS CHASING ME AND TRYING TO SERVE ME PAPERS; SHE SAID WE WERE RUNNING AND LAUGHING AT HIM BUT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE I WOULD LOOK BACK LIKE I WAS GONNA TAKE THE PAPERS AND SHE WOULD SAY "GIRL DON'T TAKE THEM PAPERS". SO TODAY I SAY TO YOU "GIRL, BOY,... MAN, WOMAN OF GOD...DON'T TAKE THEM PAPERS." "DON'T ACCEPT WHAT MAN SAYS OVER GOD SAYS" DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO BUT DON'T COME INTO AGREEMENT WITH THE DEVIL.

Isaiah 53:1- 5
“Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

MY LIFE IS IN YOUR HANDS (JESUS)

DELIVERANCE IS NIGH, THE GOOD SHEPHERD

GOD TOLD ME THAT HE WAS NOT BRINGING ME TO A PLACE OF DESTRUCTION BUT TO A PLACE OF DELIVERANCE. THAT WAS A HARD WORD FOR ME. I KNOW THAT I AM SUPPOSE TO OPERATE IN THE MINISTRY OF DELIVERANCE BUT FOR WHATEVER REASON I DIDN'T THINK I WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH SOME THINGS. THIS NEW PLACE FEELS UNCERTAIN. I KNOW WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT THAT GOD IS WELL ABLE TO DELIVER ME, TO HEAL ME, TO DO ANYTHING; AS I WALK THROUGH THE SHADOWS WITH MY EVERYTHING I HOLD ON TO THE TRUTH THAT GOD IS WITH ME; THAT HE WON'T LEAVE ME OR FORSAKE ME; THAT IS HIS PROMISE TO ME; THAT IS HIS PROMISE TO YOU.
PSALM 23
1. The LORD is my shepherd ; I shall not want .
2. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies : thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever .

LORD PLEASE ACCEPT MY WORSHIP

LET MY SONG BE A SWEET FRAGRANCE
AS I LAY BEFORE YOUR FEET

PLEASE LORD ACCEPT ME

CLAIM YOUR PRIZE.

GIVING UP RIGHT NOW WOULD BE LIKE GETTING TO THE FINISH LINE AND STOPPING BEFORE YOU BREAK THROUGH THE TAPE. WE ARE RIGHT THERE...STEPS AWAY FROM VICTORY; WHY GIVE UP NOW? LET'S GO ON TO SEE WHAT THE END WILL BE. IN TIMES PAST I HAVE QUESTIONED GOD ABOUT SITUATIONS IN MY LIFE, NOT WITH SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS, BUT AS A CHILD ASKING A PARENT WHY? AND GOD TOLD ME TORRY, WHEN I DO BLESS YOU; THERE WILL BE BLESSING AFTER BLESSING; SO MUCH SO IT WILL ALMOST SCARE YOU AND I FEEL THAT IS WHAT SEASON WE ARE IN.SOMEONE IN CHURCH A FEW WEEKS AGO USED MILITARY TERMS AND SAID WE NEEDED TO BE OBEDIENT AND IT RANG TRUE TO MY SPIRIT BECAUSE I HAD BEEN REFLECTING ON HOW IN THE OLD TESTAMENT PEOPLE WOULD SEEK GOD AS TO WHETHER THEY WOULD HAVE VICTORY IN BATTLE AND IF THEY OBEYED THE VOICE OF GOD THEY ONLY HAD VICTORIES. OBEY THE VOICE OF GOD. SOMEONE WISE ONCE TOLD ME TO TRUST THE GOD IN YOU. TRUSTING THE GOD IN YOU CAN BE DIFFICULT AT TIMES WHEN YOU LOOK AT PEOPLE WHO SEEM TO HAVE IT TOGETHER AND ARE SAYING SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN WHAT GOD IS SAYING TO YOU BUT I REMEMBER THE BIBLE SAYING THAT IN THE LAST DAYS IF GOD DIDN'T SHORTEN THE TIME EVEN THE ELECT WOULD BE DECEIVED. IN THIS TIME IT IS IMPORTANT TO DRAW NEAR TO GOD AND HEAR HIM FOR YOURSELF. THE DEVIL HAS ALWAYS TRIED TO SILENCE ME. I HAVE HAD DREAM AFTER DREAM ABOUT TRYING TO TALK BUT NOT HAVING A VOICE. IF GOD DOESN'T TELL ME TO SAY IT OR SHARE IT I WON'T BUT IF HE DOES I WILL SHOUT TO ANYONE THAT WILL HEAR; DON'T LET THE DEVIL SILENCE YOU OR CHANGE YOUR COURSE. STAY IN POSITION; KEEP YOUR LAMP TRIMMED; OBEY GOD... THEN CLAIM YOUR PRIZE.

PHILLIPIANS 3
1.Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.,
2.Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
3.For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
4.Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
5.Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;
6.Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law , blameless.,
7.But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8.Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
9.And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
10. That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
11. If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
12.Not as though I had already attained , either were already perfect : but I follow after , if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
13.Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended : but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

IS YOUR ALL ON THE ALTAR? GIVE YOUR BEST TO JESUS

THERE'S A SPELLING ERROR BUT OTHER THAN THAT...BEAUTIFUL

LIVING WATER...REPLINISHING

TODAY WHILE IN CHURCH THE SERMON TOUCHED ON PETER WALKING ON THE WATER AND HOW HE WALKED BACK TO THE BOAT WITH JESUS. MY SPIRIT WAS QUICKENED. I BEGAN TO THINK ABOUT SOME THINGS I HAD BEEN GOING THROUGH THIS LAST PAST WEEK. ONE OF THE THINGS SEEMS SMALL BUT I KNEW IT HELD SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE. THIS WEEK I DRANK MORE WATER THAN I HAVE IN A LONG TIME.ITS LIKE MY THIRST WAS UNENDING. I DRANK AND THEN WANTED MORE TRYING TO QUENCH MY THIRST.I THINK ON HOW I HAVE LET MY SPIRIT BECOME DRY. WATERING IT HERE AND THERE. ONE DAY A WHILE BACK; I WENT BY THE WATER AND I TOLD GOD, "I WANT MORE OF YOU" AND GOD SAID "YOU CAN HAVE AS MUCH OF ME AS YOU WANT, I AM A DEEP WELL". THERE IS AN OUTPOUR OF GOD IN THE SPIRIT; GOD IS REPLINISHING AND REFILLING THE DRY PLACES.
MATTHEW 14:15 SAYS: AND WHEN IT WAS EVENING, HIS DISCIPLES CAME TO HIM, SAYING, THIS IS A DESERT PLACE AND THE TIME IS NOW PAST; SEND THE MULTITUDE AWAY, THAT THEY MAY GO INTO THE VILLAGES, AND BUY THEMSELVES VICTUALS.
JESUS SAID TO THEM IN VERSE 16 "THEY NEED NOT DEPART; GIVE THEM TO EAT."
John 6:35 KJV And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger ; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst
GOD TALKED TO ME DURING CHURCH ABOUT THE WEIGHT OF HIS GLORY AND HOW WHEN HIS GLORY IS UPON YOU; YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT OUT; THAT MADE ME THINK ABOUT FLOATING OR "WALKING ON WATER". I WANTED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT WHAT MAKES AN OBJECT FLOAT AND WAS TAKEN BACK TO WHAT I HAD LEARNED IN GRADE SCHOOL...IF AN OBJECT WEIGHS LESS THAN THE AMOUNT OF WATER IT DISPLACES IT WILL FLOAT, "LESS OF ME LORD, AND MORE OF YOU". SO IF I HUMBLE MYSELF AND I AM SUBMERGED IN THE WORD OF GOD AND FILLED WITH HIS SPIRIT MY FLESH WILL WEIGH LESS THAN MY SPIRIT AND I CAN WALK WITH JESUS ON THE WATER. I ALSO THOUGHT ABOUT QUENCHING THE SPIRIT. SOMETIMES IN OUR HUMANESS WE SHRINK OURSELVES AND CONFORM TO BE ACCEPTED. BUT I AM DETERMINED TO HAVE FAITH IN GOD AND LET HIM DO WHAT IT IS HE WANTS TO DO IN ME AND THROUGH ME.

2 CORINTHIANS 4
5.For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants forJesus' sake.
6.For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness , hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
7.But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
8. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed ; we are perplexed , but not in despair ;
9.Persecuted , but not forsaken ; cast down , but not destroyed ;
10.Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
11. For we which live are alway delivered unto death forJesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifestin our mortal flesh.
12.So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
13.We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written , I believed , and therefore have I spoken ; we also believe , and therefore speak ;
14.Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise upus also by Jesus, and shall present us with you
15.For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
16. For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish , yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
17.For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
18.While we look not at the things which are seen , but at the things which are not seen : for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

2 CORINTHIANS 5
1.For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved , we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
2.For in this we groan , earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
3.If so be that being clothed we shallnot be found naked.
4.For we that are in this tabernacle do groan , being burdened : not for that we would be unclothed , but clothed upon , that mortality might be swallowed upof life.
5.Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
6.Therefore we are always confident , knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
7. (For we walkby faith, not by sight:)

THY WORD IS A LAMP UNTO MY FEET AND A LIGHT UNTO MY PATH

I HAVE BEEN MAKING AN EFFORT TO STUDY THE BIBLE LATELY. I WAS READING A SCRIPTURE HERE AND THERE BUT I WAS NOT STUDYING. I WAS GOING OVER MY NOTES FROM CHURCH AND THERE WERE A LOT OF NOTES REFERENCING WALKING IN THE SPIRIT. I CAME TO THE PASSAGE TALKING ABOUT A RENEWED MIND AND I NOTICED THAT IT SAID "THE SPIRIT OF YOUR MIND"...
Ephesians 4:23
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

I THEN BEGAN TO STUDY LIGHT
1 Thessalonians 5
1.But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3.For when they shall say , Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child ; and they shall not escape .
4.But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5.Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6.Therefore let us not sleep , as do others; but let us watch and be sober . 7.For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
8.But let us, who are of the day, be sober , putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
9.For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10.Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep , we should live together with him.
11.Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do

JOHN 1
1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same wasin the beginning with God.
3 .All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made .
4.In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 .There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7.The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe .
8. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11. He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12.But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13. Which were born , not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14.And the Word was madeflesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth

WATCH

WARNING

There was an altar call during church. It was a call to cut ungodly ties and to cut off things off, that God had told you to cut off. I have a few things that need to be in order but when God tells me to cut something off I usually cut it off. When God is ready for me to let something go he always gets his point across clearly. As the altar call went forth I began to think over my life and I said well I can't think of anything that God has told me to cut off that I haven't (except for soda). After church I went to my grandmother's house and my children saw someone from my past that said they had been looking for me and she gave them her number. This sounds minor on the surface but the girl from my past is a girl I knew from a church I got involved in that turned out not to be of God. When I realized what it really was, I told them I would not be coming back and I cut off contact except for contact with the girl that I mentioned earlier. Later I began to have dreams about her trying to lead me back and God began to deal with me about cutting off that relationship. I had not seen her for years and today there she was. I know that I am close to something. I know that the Body of Christ is close to something. We must be alert in this hour. We must have discernment like never before in this hour so that we can see the devil when he comes however he comes. For me it was the devil trying to get in through a relationship that had been cut off. However he comes we need to be in a place in Christ that we can see it for what it is. We need to be continually strenghthening our spirit man.

Colossians 1:28 KJV
Whom we preach , warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus

I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW...

HAS GOD EVER SHOWN YOU A GLIMPSE OF SOMETHING? HAS HE SHOWED YOU A FLASH OF YOUR FUTURE? YEARS AGO I HAD A REOCCURING DREAM THAT I WOULD RUN THROUGH MY GRANDMOTHER'S BACKYARD AND I WOULD END UP IN PARADISE. THE PLACE THAT I RAN TO FELT SAFE; THERE WERE DEEP GREEN, HEALTHY PLANTS ALL AROUND ME. IT WAS PARADISE. I HAD THE DREAM OVER AND OVER AND WONDERED WHY. EVENTUALLY THE DREAM STOPPED. WHEN I LEFT MY HUSBAND I MOVED TO MY MOM'S HOUSE AND THEN TO MY GRANDMOTHER'S HOUSE AND THE DREAM CAME BACK TO MY REMEMBRANCE. IT WAS AS IF GOD WAS SAYING IT'S TIME; IT'S CLOSE. I HAVE TALKED TO PEOPLE ABOUT THIS RECENT SPAN OF TIME AND EVERY CONVERSATION IS ABOUT THE SAME; WE ARE CLOSE; CLOSER THAN WE HAVE EVER BEEN. SOME CIRCUMSTANCES HAD ME IN AN AREA OF TOWN I USED TO LIVE IN. THE AREA OF TOWN IS VERY NICE BUT I NEVER WANTED TO LIVE THERE. WHILE I WAS ON THAT SIDE OF TOWN I FELT GOD TELL ME CONSIDER THIS, AS IN CONSIDER THIS AREA OF TOWN TO LIVE IN. MY SON AND I DROVE AROUND A LITTLE BUT I WASN'T FEELING IT. LATER I REMEMBERED FURTHER UP THE STREET IN THAT AREA WAS A NEIGHBOURHOOD MY COUSIN AND I HAD FOUND YEARS AGO. IT WAS ALMOST HIDDEN AND WE BOTH MARVELED SAYING "WHO KNEW THIS WAS HERE?". IT IS VERY BEAUTIFUL; PARADISE LIKE. TODAY I DROVE IN THE AREA LOOKING FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD; I DID NOT FIND IT. I WILL GO AGAIN TOMORROW. HOLD ON THE APPOINTED TIME IS CLOSE.

ROMANS 13
9.For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery , Thou shalt not kill , Thou shalt not steal , Thou shalt not bear false witness , Thou shalt not covet ; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
10.Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
11.And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed . 12 The night is far spent , the day is at hand : let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

1 CORINTHIANS 13
1.Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2.And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3.And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned , and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4.Charity suffereth long , and is kind ; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself , is not puffed up ,
5.Doth not behave itself unseemly , seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked , thinketh no evil;
6.Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7.Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8.Charity never faileth : but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail ; whether there be tongues, they shall cease ; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away .
9.For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10.But when that which is perfect is come , then that which is in part shall be done away .
11.When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12.For now we see through a glass, darkly ; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known .
13.And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
