Sinner Living in the Truth

John 14:15-22 NIV

Google Ima

“If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”

The Holy Spirit is all about Truth and He awakens the Truth in us, authorizing us to live in the Truth and will bring about the fruit of the Truth that we live. Jesus tells us four things about the Holy Spirit, He is the friend that God sends to us, unbelievers cannot receive the Spirit of Truth, the Spirit of Truth will be inside the followers of Jesus Christ and the presence of the Holy Spirit reminds us that Jesus will come again and claim His followers.

All people are sinners and the only difference between a non Christian and a Christian is a life that is sanctified by the Holy Spirit; a forgiven sinner that is being shaped and remolded by the Spirit of the Living God on a second by second basis.

Romans 8:9 NIV

You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ.






Life can be a very rough ride with storm after storm after storm. The power of the Holy Spirit allows us to ride on top of that storm just like a surfer riding the waves. Keep the faith and believe. Even though a Christian still sins, there is happiness knowing when we repent and change our ways we will be forgiven. Does this gives us a free ticket to keep on sinning? No way! The more we know who Jesus is the less we will sin, but this is usually followed by attacks from Satan in our vulnerable spots. Praise God for sending us Jesus, where would we be without Him? I seem to be failing a lot lately and all I can say is thank you Jesus for loving someone like me.

Spirit & Wind

John 3:8 NIV

Google Image

"The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

Wind and Spirit share some of the same qualities here, both are invisible to our sight and neither of them can be controlled by people. Each being ruler and independent of its own actions.

The wind does as it pleases and people cannot control where it is going or where it has come from. Even though the wind is invisible, the effects of it can be seen. You can hear it, see the changes of its movement by watching the trees sway or the grass billow. In the same way you can see the effects of the Spirit by the fruit that it produces in the life of a born again. The bitter person becomes happy and joyful, anger turns into praise and hate turns into love. When we yield to the calling of the Holy Spirit, He will produce fruit in us that will be seen by all.

John 4:24

"God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”

God is Spirit and He is Holy, who can direct His path and He does as it pleases Him. His business is Self-governing and He has power over the most hardened of sinners. Like the wind, who can order Him about and direct His path? 

We may be confused by how the Spirit works, but if we yield to His teachings His fruit will show in our personalities and our lives. 

Google Image

Galatians 5:22-23 NIV

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

For My Daughter; Squeaks

'Here In My Heart' Disney



This video is dedicated to my daughter and all daughters everywhere. :)

My daughter blesses me greatly and I love her so very much. Squeaks is talented, beautiful, smart, kind, encouraging, joyful, a ray of sunshine in a room, but most important of all she has a heart that is seeking Jesus and this blesses me and makes my heart swell.

I love you Squeaks, so very much. I love you more than life itself, don't ever forget that my first born.

1 Peter 3:3-4 NIV

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.

Exodus 20:12 NIV

“Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you."

Ephesians 6:4 NIV

"Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord"

Diamond Rio

'In God We Still Trust' Diamond Rio

DIAMOND RIO SONG MOST RADIO STATIONS ARE BANNING!
The song you are about to hear is from a Las Vegas Diamond Rio concert.
They received an immediate resounding standing ovation, and continue to do
so every time they perform.
Sadly, major radio stations wouldn't play it because it is considered
"politically incorrect."
Consequently, the song was not released to the public.
We can all take care of that by sending it ON.
Although it is written for the United States it also applies to Canada and
all other free Countries.
Every person in the USA, Canada and the free world needs to hear this
song, so please keep it going.

(Copied and pasted from an email)

Lyrics
You place your hand on His Bible, when you swear to tell the Truth
His name is on our greatest Monuments, and all our money too,
And when we Pledge allegiance, there's no doubt where we stand,
There is no separation, we're one Nation under Him.

Chorus:
In God We Still Trust
Here in America
He's the one we turn to every time
The goin' gets rough
He is the source of all our Strength
The One who watches over us
Here in America
In God We Still Trust

Now there are those among us, who want to push Him out,
And erase His name from everything, this country's all about,
From the Schoolhouse to the Courthouse, they're Silencing His Word,
Now it's time for all Believers, to make our Voices heard.

In God We Still Trust,
Here in America
He's the one we turn to every time
The goin' gets rough
He is the source of all our Strength
The One who watches over us
Here in America
In God We Still Trust

Here in America
Here in America
Here in America,

In God We Still Trust
Here in America,

In God We Still Trust
Here in America.....

Psalm 31:15-18 NIV

For I hear many whispering,
   “Terror on every side!”
They conspire against me
   and plot to take my life.

 But I trust in you, LORD;
   I say, “You are my God.”

My times are in your hands;
   deliver me from the hands of my enemies,
   from those who pursue me.

Intercessors Needed for 11/11/11

This email was brought to my attention from Breanne, Chazak (Be Strong) 

Google Image

Intercessors, unite your hearts and prayers today. Worship our God for He is good!!
Praise the Name of Jesus Christ ruler of all!!

At this time, I want to pause and share with you a word that I received from the Lord yesterday, while praying in the Prayer Tower, here in Jerusalem.

“The winds are coming … strong and mighty winds!! The updrafts of hell are exalting themselves to rush across the earth. Will I not counter these winds with My own Holy wind? I want to see whether the people will submit to My wind or to the winds of evil. Which will they welcome, and which will they embrace? Where do they want to be carried, and by which power? Call for the winds of heaven to come NOW! Breathe out the Holy breath, present within your being. Wherever the holy winds encounter the unholy, great storms will break out at the interface. Do not be afraid! I am in these windstorms. My hand is bringing forth My purposes in the battle of the winds.”

Shortly after receiving this word and praying into it, I received an image of an earthquake. In that moment, I was reminded of what I experienced many years ago, when I found myself in an earthquake. The first indication was a DEEP, loud, rumble from the depths of the earth. It caused all the dogs in the neighborhood to howl simultaneously. After the rumble and the howling arose, the floor began to shake and the furniture began to move. There was a brief space of time between the first two warnings, and the moment when the shaking began. A prayer was formed within my spirit yesterday for the Lord to send forth the rumble of His voice, bringing forth the cry of the intercessors to warn the world of the destructive shaking, before it manifests. In that space of time, the deceived, unsaved, or lukewarm, may come to understand that judgment is about to fall, and thereby cry out just before/as the shaking begins … before their lives come crashing down into death and destruction. Please join me in those prayers.

Now I will take a few minutes to share with you one area of significance regarding the 11/11/11 event. Intercessors will be gathering throughout the day; pressing in for the Lord’s mercy and protection, as well as for revival. When the Lord told me yesterday about the updrafts of hell exalting themselves across the planet, I believe, in part, He was referring to the initiative of the occult and New Age communities/mavens coming forth tomorrow. Those, who draw from, and who serve, dark powers are planning to open a Millennium Gate, which they hope will change the “energy” and direction of the globe. Their goal is to usher in a new order for the planet, which will be led by the “ascended masters” (which are demons) and their Most Highly Ascended Master (the anti-Christ). This new energy, which is to be released through a vibration they are creating throughout the world, is to bring an end to the Judeo-Christian influence on the globe, and a redistribution of resources. They plan to surrender the earth to a higher intelligence through an harmonic convergence to transform both the human being and the planet. They intend to bring forth the Aquarian man … a superhuman being with a higher consciousness … which will rule, and which will eliminate the weaker, unenlightened, human beings (i.e. those who will not submit to the new order). Throughout the world occult practioners will conduct rituals and send forth a sound to cover the earth. On the 11^th day of the 11^th month, of the 11^th year of the millennium, at the 11^th hour after midnight, for 11 minutes, they will send forth this power through meditation, sounds, declarations, and rituals. Basically, they intend to open the gates of hell, whether they understand that or not.

Here are some of the benefits they hope to bring forth with their accomplished goals:

--To bring all the New Age and occult powers into agreement and into unity; creating an invincible force to bring the change they believe in.

--To establish a “me diarchy” composed of all facets of media (radio, press, television, etc.), which will serve to produce the propaganda necessary for the world to embrace the New Age and to serve its agenda.

--To destroy all nationalistic governmental foundations and states, so that regional, global, bio-regions, can be established to support a One World government order. No “super power” nations will be allowed to maintain their power and status. The economies will come down, making way for a global economy under the power of the enlightened ones.

--To purify the planet with a new One-World religion; bringing an end to both Judaism and to biblical Christianity.

--To merge humanity with the enlightened beings (spirit guides and ascended masters) from the unseen, supernatural world; eliminating the limitations that have been placed upon the human race. (revisiting the Tower of Babel)

--To create a New Age citizenry (a super race … Aquarians) that will have the status of being gods; living in a New Age kingdom, in which they will do supernatural feats. Those, who do not come into line with this new quality and priority of human being, will be eliminated; freeing the planet of that present negativity.

--To seize the wealth and resources of the planet; redistributing them through sharing, so that everyone is happy and provided for.

--To bring forth the New Age messiah, who is eagerly waiting in the wings … waiting to be announced and presented to the needy world.

--To bring forth the global crisis necessary to usher in this global messiah’s rule and reign.

I think that is enough information to tell you what this is all about. Satan is going to make a move upon the earth, through those he has deceived and enlisted to fulfill his agenda. We know from the scriptures that these things will eventually happen. The anti-Christ will come to express his domination over the earth, just before the True Messiah, Yeshua, returns to set up His reign for 1,000 years. Lest anyone think that this is just a foolish, science fiction, exercise by these New Agers, think again. Evil has power. There are gates to hell that can be opened, as human beings use their free will to open them. If satan needs an invitation, he will be receiving a BIG one tomorrow from people throughout the world. This force, energy or vibration that they intend to create is a real thing with power. The good news is that our God has all power in heaven and in earth. That does not mean we can sit back and ignore this event. If we do nothing, satan will do something, and we will have to endure horrific consequences after the fact. God is expecting us to rise up; declaring His Lordship and His word. Are you with me? Are you willing to be counted among those labeled as un-enlightened, negative, bible believers of the globe? If so, here is what we can do:

**As soon as you get this email, begin to praise the Lord. Turn on your CD’s of worship and praise, play your instruments, put on your iPods and earphones, sing, whatever it takes. Let your CDs run on repeat for the next 36 hours or whatever it takes to run until 11/11 ends. **KEEP YOUR FOCUS INTENTIONALLY ON THE LORD between now and the end of 11/11/11

** Declare the word of the Lord … especially His sovereignty … as you read the bible out loud individually and in groups. DECLARE JACOB’S GOD AS THE ONLY SOVERIEGN LORD, AND SOLE AUTHORITY OVER ALL THINGS IN HEAVEN, IN EARTH, AND UNDER THE EARTH.

**If you have them, blow your shofars from 10:55 AM until 11:16 AM tomorrow (Friday). They will be creating their sound from 11:00 AM until 11 minutes after 11, so we will be five minutes before and five minutes after them. Use you voice as a shofar is you choose.

**If you are not blowing the shofar, shouting to the Lord, declaring scripture, or singing in praise, pray earnestly during this time.

**If you are able, make all of tomorrow, until sundown, a day of fasting and prayer.

EVERYONE PRAY THESE PRAYERS BEGINNING NOW AND THROUGHOUT THE DAY TOMORROW … ESPECIALLY FOR THE 11 MINUTES IN THE MORNING.

--ASK THE LORD TO BREAK UP THE SOUND AND THE ENERGY BEING EMITTED FROM DARKNESS, AS WELL AS TO HALT THE RESONATION OF THE VIBRATION.

--PRAY THAT THIS GATE WILL BE HELD CLOSED UNTIL IT IS THE LORD’S TIME TO ALLOW THE DARKNESS TO ENTER OUR ARENA AS PROPHESIED.

--RENOUNCE, REJECT, AND REPENT OF ANY REBELLION THAT SETS ITSELF UP AGAINST THE ORDER AND AUTHORITY OF THE GOD OF ISRAEL.

--PRAY THAT THE LORD WILL TOTALLY CRUSH ANY SEED COMING FROM THIS EFFORT, BEFORE IT CAN TURN INTO FRUIT.

--PRAY FOR THE DECEIVED AND FOR THE IGNORANT (ESPECIALLY THE FASCINATED, CONFUSED, YOUTH) TO BE SHAKEN AWAKE TO THE TRUTH OF THIS EVIL, SO THAT THEY WILL FLEE.

--PRAY THAT THOSE, WHO ARE BEING HELD IN BONDAGE AGAINST THEIR WILL IN THIS INTITIATIVE, WILL BE RELEASED TO FREEDOM BY THE HAND OF THE LORD.

--PRAY THAT THE UNHOLY BLOOD SACRIFIES, WHICH ARE BEING PLANNED AS OFFERINGS TO SATAN, WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO TAKE PLACE. SEND IN A STORM, AN EARTHQUAKE, OR WHATEVER IT TAKES, LORD!

--PRAY FOR THE BODY OF MESSIAH TO BE SANCTIFIED AND TO COME INTO UNITY IN THE TRUTH AND IN LOVE. LET THE UNIFIED VOICE OF THE LORD BE HEARD IN US TOMORROW!

--PRAY FOR THE REVELATION OF THE TRUTH, THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT, BE POURED FORTH FROM HEAVEN INTO THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF THE DECEIVED OR IGNORANT.

--PRAY FOR THE BLOOD OF MESSIAH YESHUA TO BE SPREAD ACROSS THE EARTH.

--PRAY FOR THE DREAD FEAR OF THE LORD TO FALL UPON ALL THE NEW AGE AND OCCULT DEVOTEES AND LEADERS. PRAY FOR THE LEADERS TO BECOME TOTALLY IMMOBILIZED AND SILENT.

--PRAY THAT THIS AGENDA TO USE THE MEDIA TO SEDUCE AND TO LEAD THE WORLD INTO THIS NEW ORDER WILL FAIL. (this has already succeeded too much.)

--PRAY FOR BOLDNESS TO BE IN THE MOUTHS OF THE BIBLE BELIEVERS TO SPEAK OUT THE TRUTH, AND TO FIND CREDIBILITY IN THE EVALUATION OF THE SEEKERS.

--RENOUCE AND REJECT ALL DARKNESS; ASKING THE LORD TO REBUKE SATAN FOR THIS INITIATIVE.

--PRAY AND DECLARE THAT THIS WHOLE PLAN WILL FAIL, AND THAT THE BURNING RAGE SATAN WILL FEEL FROM S FAILURE, WILL BE TAKEN IN ONE DIRECTION ONLY. PRAY AND DECLARE THAT SATAN CANNOT TOUCH THE PEOPLE OF GOD IN HIS RAGE, BUT THAT HE CAN ONLY TAKE HIS ANGER OUT ON HIS OWN COHORT IN HELL. (HE CAN BEAT UP HIS OWN DEMONS, BUT MAY NOT TOUCH THE CHILDREN OF GOD OR ANYTHING PERTAINING TO THEM (FAMILIES, HEALTH, PROVISION, ETC.)

--DECLARE THAT ALL THE WEALTH OF THE EARTH BELONGS TO OUR GOD, AND ASK HIM FOR WISDOM ON HOW TO STEWARD THOSE GIFTS.

--PRAY THAT THE LORD WOULD OVERTHROW, BRING DOWN, AND REPLACE ALL THE GOVERNMENTS (AND THEIR LEADERS) OF THIS WORLD, WHICH ARE IN AGREEMENT WITH, PLOTTING WITH, AND PROMOTING THIS GLOBAL NEW ORDER.

--DECLARE THAT WE WILL NOT SEEK BENEFIT OR COUNSEL FROM ANYONE OTHER THAN HIM. WE GIVE NO HONOR OR GLORY TO ANY BEING OTHER THAN HIM.

--DECLARE THAT ISRAEL IS A SOVERIGN NATION, SET APART FOR HIM … THAT ISRAEL WILL NEVER SUBMIT TO BEING COUNTED AMONG THE NATIONS, NOR BOW TO ANY MESSIAH OTHER THAN YESHUA OF NAZARETH, SON OF GOD, WHO WAS CRUCIFIED, BURIED, ROSE FROM THE DEAD, AND WHO REIGNS ETERNALLY.

--CRY OUT TO THE FATHER TO SEND YESHUA BACK TO RULE UPON THE EARTH.

There is so much more that I could suggest to you for prayer, but I know that the Lord will lead you in amazing ways as we arise in spiritual war against this wickedness. May the dark plans for 11/11/11 be a non-event for the earth … and a massive defeat for evil! May the 11 minutes that hell is planning to use, be a glorious new beginning for the victory of our God to be seen upon the earth.

God bless, protect, and guide you!

Job 16:19-21 NIV 

Even now my witness is in heaven;

my advocate is on high.

My intercessor is my friend

as my eyes pour out tears to God;

on behalf of a man he pleads with God

as one pleads for a friend. 

Revelation 19:4-6 NIV

The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne. And they cried:    “Amen, Hallelujah!”
 Then a voice came from the throne, saying:
   “Praise our God,
all you his servants,

        you who fear him,

        both great and small!”

 Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting:
   “Hallelujah!

For our Lord God Almighty reigns. 

Maranatha!!

Pure Joy

James 1:2-3 NIV

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 

I have read this verse many times and it has only been in the last few months that I have really focused on the plural content here. 'Trials of many kinds' does not mean a trial or two but lots and lots of trials consisting of all sorts of different things. Christians can be under attack from Satan but they also may be going through trials in order to create perseverance in our faith, which is unseen.

We are going to face trials, that is a given but God tells us to 'consider it pure joy'. Now really?! This is totally backwards to our way of thinking. It does take a bit getting use to but the quicker we learn this lesson the better it is for us and those around us. After all, who wants to spend time with a grumpy, miserable person? Well, you might for a while but after a bit of hanging around a cantankerous person you will find it rubbing off on you.

Joy, defined by Dictionary.com

the emotion of great delight or happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying; keen pleasure; elation,

Wow, this is pretty backwards to our general line of thought, 'caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying', Let's look deeper.

Every single person has trials to go through and I can pretty well guarantee that it is not pretty. Most often it is extremely painful, either physically, emotionally, spiritually or financially. So then, if joy is caused by something fantastic how can we feel and manifest this joy while we are in pain? Let's look a bit further. The last part of v 3 says; 'the testing of your faith produces perseverance'.

James 1:4 NIV

Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

Perseverance, defined by Dictionary.com

steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc., especially in spite of difficulties, obstacles or discouragement.

We are building endurance, training for the race of life. Perseverance will get us through and focusing on the prize at the end of the trial will give us joy while going through the trial. What is this prize? Treasure in heaven. A home that will never rot, no darkness, walking in the physical company of Jesus and uniting with believers from all over and so much more.

James 1:5-8 NIV

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do. 

Remember when you were a child and you were playing a game? How that game was so very real, you believed it. This is how we should be with believing and not doubting God. Ask God and believe it is yours and He will give it to you. It may not manifest in the way you think it should but it will be perfect because it is His way.

You are not alone in this life, Jesus is right beside you through all of your trials. Trust Him. Believe in His Word, for He cannot lie. Be joyful in all circumstances and remember if at first you don't succeed try and try again.

Please remember five year old Ansley in your prayers. She is going through this last bit of chemo and is so very ill. She told her mom she just wished someone would kill her so she doesn't have to deal with this cancer any longer. How sad for a mom to hear that. Please lift her up and keep her covered in the Blood.

Blessings,

Mid-Morning Walk

My son and I went for a mid-morning walk yesterday. While walking I kept thinking about God and how very blessed I am. Looking at the mountains, trees and sky I kept thinking about how big God is and man tries to put Him in a box so we can understand this Creator of ours. I know I want to understand Him and with my limited thinking I draw a picture of Him, but He is so much bigger than I could ever imagine.

Well, those were just some of my thoughts while I was walking. The day was gorgeous and the picture taking superb! Here's our walk in pictures. Enjoy!

Revelation 22:12-21 NIV

“Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.    “Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
   “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.”
 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.

 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.

 He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.”
   Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen. 

Resting in Jesus,
