R-I-S-E-N INDEED!

Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!” So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in. Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed. (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.) Then the disciples went back to where they were staying.
Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.
They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?”
“They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.
He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?”
Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”
Jesus said to her, “Mary.”
She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”).
Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.
On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.

This past 40 days has been very emotional for me. I have walked through the 40 days of fasting with Jesus and spent time mourning His death but today I celebrate for He has conquered death! He is RISEN! The chains are broken and Satan has been defeated. All who call on the name of Jesus will be saved, Praise GOD! He did it! He has given us the Holy Spirit and through the power of His name, Jesus Christ, we can proclaim His gift to all. We can be Spirit filled! Come on world wide church praise our King!
If you haven't made the decision to follow Jesus Christ I invite you now to say a prayer of faith. All you need is faith and Jesus will do the rest. Believe in your heart on the work that Jesus did on the cross, confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord of your life. Renounce your old ways and choose to follow His way of truth and love.
Romans 10:8-10 NIV
But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
He has risen indeed!

Jesus prays for us
John 17:1-26
After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed:
“Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began."
“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
I read over and over again about what Jesus did for us and each time I am blown away by His love. New things are revealed to me and I feel so lost, yet He reassures me He is with me guiding and teaching me new and wonderful things. We are one with the Father, His Spirit lives in us. No wonder Satan wants to attack believers. His greatest enemy is God and if God lives inside believers then we are Satan's enemy. The closer our walk is with God the more we are attacked, but if we keep our eyes on Jesus and trust Him to help us out He will, after all Satan was defeated when Jesus died on the cross, the war has been won! God wins, Satan loses and the time for Satan on this earth is very short. Keep the faith, stand on the word of God and wear His armor. Fight the good fight for we have a whole army of angels fighting beside us. Never give up or lose hope for Jesus lives inside of us! Praise God!!
Will you step out in faith and show God's love to an unbeliever? Jesus suffered great agony for us are you willing to suffer for Him?
<><
I am sorry these are such heavy posts but the Spirit of God is heavy in my heart and I must speak what He is laying on me. Peace of Jesus Christ.
After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed:

“I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them. I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one. While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled."
“I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified."

“Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.
“Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.”
Will you step out in faith and show God's love to an unbeliever? Jesus suffered great agony for us are you willing to suffer for Him?

For you, for me
Isaiah 53:10-12 NIV
Yet it was the LORD’s will to crush Him and cause Him to suffer,
and though the LORD makes His life an offering for sin,
and though the LORD makes His life an offering for sin,
He will see his offspring and prolong His days,
and the will of the LORD will prosper in His hand.
After He has suffered,
He will see the light of life and be satisfied;
and the will of the LORD will prosper in His hand.
After He has suffered,
He will see the light of life and be satisfied;
by His knowledge My righteous servant will justify many,
and He will bear their iniquities.
Therefore I will give Him a portion among the great,
and He will divide the spoils with the strong,
because He poured out His life unto death,
and was numbered with the transgressors.
For He bore the sin of many,
and made intercession for the transgressors.
and He will bear their iniquities.
Therefore I will give Him a portion among the great,
and He will divide the spoils with the strong,
because He poured out His life unto death,
and was numbered with the transgressors.
For He bore the sin of many,
and made intercession for the transgressors.

Jesus intercedes for us, He bridged the gap between us and the Father. The Holy Spirit, our councilor, prays in moans and groans interceding on our behalf prayers that we do not know how to pray. It is because of what Jesus did for us on the cross that has allowed us access to the Father anytime 24/7. He made the bridge and opened the door for us to walk through. There is only one way to the Father and that is through the Son. The way is narrow and few are willing to follow it.
Romans 8:26-27 NIV
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

What can we say? Thank you Jesus, thank you. We do not deserve this gift but You love us more than we could ever love You. I will walk with You for the rest of my days and when tribulation and trials come I know You will be with me giving me strength to do things in the way You want them to be done.
What about you? Will you accept His love gift?

John 3:16-21 NIV

John 3:16-21 NIV
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.
God loves His Son very much but He knew the greater power is Himself so He allowed His Son to come to earth to die for us. Oh how deep and wide is His love for us!
Thank you Dad for this gift of Your only Son!! May Your name be praised forever and ever!!
JESUS CHRIST

Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, “Follow me!”
Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following them. (This was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and had said, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”) When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?”
Lord Jesus, yes!

No Violence in Him
Isaiah 53:7-9 NIV
Luke 22:43-44 NIV
When temptation comes think about how Satan tempted Jesus, our trial will never ever match what Jesus went through and if He can do it then with Him guiding and yoked along side of us, so can we do whatever is placed before us.
He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet He did not open His mouth:
yet He did not open His mouth:
He was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
so He did not open His mouth.
By oppression and judgment He was taken away.
Yet who of His generation protested?
For He was cut off from the land of the living;
for the transgression of my people He was punished.
and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
so He did not open His mouth.
By oppression and judgment He was taken away.
Yet who of His generation protested?
For He was cut off from the land of the living;
for the transgression of my people He was punished.
He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in His death,
though He had done no violence,
nor was any deceit in His mouth.
and with the rich in His death,
though He had done no violence,
nor was any deceit in His mouth.

Jesus is innocent and pure, no sin was found in Him. He is fully God and fully man, only He could pay the price for our sin. Jesus was tempted, He knows fully well how hard life here on earth is. I believe Satan tempted Jesus way more than he has ever tempted us. In Gethsemane the temptation from Satan was so intense His sweat was like drops of blood.
Luke 22:43-44 NIV
An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.
When temptation comes think about how Satan tempted Jesus, our trial will never ever match what Jesus went through and if He can do it then with Him guiding and yoked along side of us, so can we do whatever is placed before us.

Romans 8:14-17
For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

WARNING graphic picture
Isaiah 53:4-6 NIV
Oh that stings! Each of us has turned to our own way yet He still loved us enough to suffer the humility and pain of the cross.
I really believe in supernatural healing I have been witness to it. It says it right here; He was pierced for our transgressions, (misbehavior, wrongdoing, disobedience, sin) He was crushed, (trodden, flatten, trampled), for our iniquities, (wickedness, crime, evil); the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds we are healed.
The suffering Jesus did on the cross made us pure in the sight of God, when we accept His gift of salvation we have nothing that is baring our way to His throne. Our soul is made right and our bodies can heal because sickness is a by product of sin. Jesus heals and we need to believe this. The power of the Holy Spirit, the Counselor, is available to all who seek it. But we cannot get hold of this power if we hang on to self, we have to deny self and walk in the way of Jesus and His way is the opposite from the world.
Not all healing that comes is physical but might be a spiritual healing, a removing of the cancer from our soul. When we hang onto past hurts and anger, when we cling to unforgiveness then sickness can come into our bodies. When we forgive and let go of the wrong done to us then we allow the Spirit to come in and heal us. This may show up as a spiritual healing or may manifest in a physical healing or both. But sometimes even though we plead with Jesus to heal us He won't because some infirmities of the body can keep us from straying off from His path. Paul asked Jesus to remove his affliction but was told no three times.
2 Corinthians 12:8-10 NIV
Surely He took up our pain and bore our suffering,
yet we considered Him punished by God,
stricken by Him, and afflicted.
But He was pierced for our transgressions,
He was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on Him,
and by His wounds we are healed.
yet we considered Him punished by God,
stricken by Him, and afflicted.
But He was pierced for our transgressions,
He was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on Him,
and by His wounds we are healed.
We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way;
and the LORD has laid on Him
the iniquity of us all.
each of us has turned to our own way;
and the LORD has laid on Him
the iniquity of us all.

2 Corinthians 12:8-10 NIV
Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
Jesus told us to bear our cross and walk in His footsteps. We will be persecuted and ridiculed for Him but if we ask Him to fill us with the Joy of the Lord, He will. The power that lives in us is bigger and stronger than the power that is in the world. If only we believe in His words and would trust His ways then we could allow this power that dwells within to flow out through our words and actions. Every time we get angry or sin we nil and void the power of the Holy Spirit, but if we keep seeking and asking and denying self, the Holy Spirit will come in and fill us up and flow out.
Keep the faith and trust in Him. Ask and you will receive for it is His promise to us not to be disappointed but to be overfilled with the Joy of the Lord.
Blessings,

Revelation 1:4-6 NIV
...Grace and peace to you from Him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits before His throne, and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.
Who has believed our message
and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
He grew up before Him like a tender shoot,
and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to Him,
nothing in His appearance that we should desire Him.
He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
He was despised, and we held Him in low esteem.

The power of the universe lies in the hands of the one who paid the price. He is a gentle Lamb who came in love and peace for the forgiveness of our sins. He came but we rejected Him. He loved us but we spat on Him. He forgave us but we mocked Him. After He rose from the dead He said He would return, He warned us to watch the signs of the times for with His second coming He will be coming clad in fighting armor returning as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.
Matthew 24:27 NIV
For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

Controlled by the Holy Spirit
Romans 8:5 NLT
Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful
things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think
about things that please the Spirit.

There is freedom in the Spirit! It is like being unshackled from heavy weights that burden ones heart, mind and soul. When the Spirit comes in and releases you from guilt, anger, hatred and self centeredness there is an amazing wholeness and lightness that flows through, around and out of you. It is a feeling I wish everyone could experience and all can for it is free to all who seek Jesus and ask for a baptizing in the Holy Spirit.
Life goes on around us and things happen that are not always in our control but if we walk in the Spirit of Truth looking at these events with love, kindness, peace, forgiveness with the Word of the Lord ready on our tongue then we can change the outcome of events that happen around us. We cannot change people but we can change how we respond.
Life is too short to waste in anger and unforgiveness. Seize the moment and live for Jesus! Be makers of peace.
Jesus, come into my life and change me. Make me in Your image and free me from the lies of the world. Give me the freedom of the Holy Spirit so I can worship You in Truth!! In Your precious Holy Name, Jesus Christ I ask and pray. Amen.

I am the first and I am the last;
apart from me there is no God.
Who then is like me? Let him proclaim it.
Let him declare and lay out before me
what has happened since I established my ancient people,
and what is yet to come—
yes, let them foretell what will come.
Do not tremble, do not be afraid.
Did I not proclaim this and foretell it long ago?
You are my witnesses. Is there any God besides me?
No, there is no other Rock; I know not one.”

Letting Go
![]() |

The joy I have raising my kids has been one thrill after another, and then the thought of schooling came. Summer made a post on the emotions she is feeling about having to send her daughter Kelcee to preschool next fall and when I read this all the emotions and turmoil I felt came rushing back! When my daughter turned 2 I started to panic. I was so in love with my little girl that I could not imagine being away from her for even a second little own a whole day of school. That is when I started considering home schooling. Sure! I can do this, I told myself. My sister has 6 kids and she home schooled all of them, if she can do it so can I. So, I picked her brain asking question after question on how I would go about this. Thus started a process that went from, giving it a year only and seeing where I will go with it, then adding in her brother when he was the right age, to ah when she makes it to grade 9 she will go into a school, to finishing not only grade 12 at home, (with a scholarship I must add) into almost finishing 1st year Bachelor of Science university at home with really good grades!
But letting go must come and I have been putting it off for 18 years!! Finally this past January I had to let go of her and let me tell you it hasn't been easy at all. She finally went into a real school so she can complete her Bachelor of Science degree and become the woman God created her to be. She is loving it and I am mourning the loss of my sweet daughter-friend. Well tomorrow will mark the end of this semester of school, just 5 exams left and I will have Squeaks back at home with me until next fall. I am really looking forward to having her around me again. I so miss our times of exploring the mountains with her and SOTK.
When I had children I never gave thought to the time of having to let go of them I just really savored and enjoyed every single day whether bad or good not really understanding or thinking of the time they will leave home. I just never wanted to go there in my mind so in a way I never really thought about it until grade 12 approached and then I couldn't wrap my mind around it. It is a very scary thing for me to do, letting go. My eyes are welling up with tears as I try to think about this, I can't make my mind go there. So what can I do? I have to trust Jesus and give it into His hands believing He will look after this for me and help me along.
These past few months from January till now have been some of the loneliest, saddest yet happiest times I have ever felt, and I have been through a lot in my life, stuff I am not free to share with you all but letting go of Squeaks has really been an experience I couldn't even have dreamed of before. I must admit tho, I have been having a great one on one with SOTK and there has been tons less fighting going on. :)
Next week things will be getting back to normal around here and I am really looking forward to it. My daughter is coming back! :) She has had a great experience and I know she is looking forward to a break from the books and eager to get working on the fencing, gardening, horseback riding and all the other odd jobs that a farm has. Joy will be returning to me for the next 5 months, then September will roll around and with that all the emotions of having to let go again.
Psalm 9:9-11NIV
The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed,
a stronghold in times of trouble.
Those who know your name trust in you,
for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.
a stronghold in times of trouble.
Those who know your name trust in you,
for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.
Sing the praises of the LORD, enthroned in Zion;
proclaim among the nations what he has done.
proclaim among the nations what he has done.

Time For Love
Ezekiel 16:6-12 NIV
“‘Then I passed by and saw you kicking about in your blood, and as you lay there in your blood I said to you, “Live!” I made you grow like a plant of the field. You grew and developed and entered puberty. Your breasts had formed and your hair had grown, yet you were stark naked.

JoAnn McFatter is currently traveling nationally and internationally as a worship leader and/or speaker. Her ministry, Inside-Eternity, is partnering with WhiteDove Ministries, based in Foley, Alabama. While facilitating the shift from the mind of man to the mind of Christ in word and song, she carries a twofold passion. First, to see the Bride abandoned body, soul and spirit to God and God alone. Second, to see revelation opened up as it pertains to spirit, science and art being woven together to bring Kingdom manifestation on the earth as it is in heaven.
When I really want to worship God in the Spirit, I will put on some of JoAnn's music and dance before my Lord. She is said to be a prophetic singer and in general doesn't prewrite her songs but sings as the Spirit leads.
God Bless,

“‘Later I passed by, and when I looked at you and saw that you were old enough for love, I spread the corner of my garment over you and covered your naked body. I gave you my solemn oath and entered into a covenant with you, declares the Sovereign LORD, and you became mine.
“‘I bathed you with water and washed the blood from you and put ointments on you. I clothed you with an embroidered dress and put sandals of fine leather on you. I dressed you in fine linen and covered you with costly garments. I adorned you with jewelry: I put bracelets on your arms and a necklace around your neck, and I put a ring on your nose, earrings on your ears and a beautiful crown on your head.JoAnn McFatter (Move your cursor around this page and click on the images that appear)
