"You Were Born For This 7 Keys to a Life of Predictable Miracles" I Highly Recommend This Book I Just Completed Reading
I just completed a book that was filled with an array of valuable information. I followed along and put into practice the exercises to see miracles in your very life. It truly has insightful info and it is also practical. The Lord can use you to bring forth miracles in the lives of others. Yes, He can use you. The questions is, Are you willing and have the obedience to follow Holy Spirit nudges to follow through with the miraculous in another persons life delivered through you? If you are tired of always wanting to see miracles then take your eyes off of yourself and let Holy Spirit move through you as the conduit to deliver God's miracle in another person's life. Never ever ever forget to give the glory to God and acknowledge that it was not you, it was God moving through you. You were blessed to see the fulfillment of a miracle through your hands, resources or even words of encouragement to the one Holy Spirit brings to your path that very day. It truly is a blessing to see this in action. God is moving this very day, do not close your eyes or heart to the nudges of Holy Spirt in your life. The book is by Bruce Wilkinson, the author of the New York Times #1 Bestseller The Prayer of Jabez. "You Were Born For This 7 Keys to a Life of Predictable Miracles"
Are You Being Haunted By The Holy Ghost?
Let me share notes that I took today at church, this church also has awesome Praise/Worship too.
Goodness and mercy are following you all the days of your life Psalm 139; 7-10 states, "Where can I go to get away from your Spirit? Where can I run to get away from you? If I go up to heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in hell, you are there. If I climb upward on the rays of the morning sun or land on the most distant shore of the sea where the sun sets, even there your hand would guide me and your right hand would hold on to me."
To be haunted is usually associated with frightening thoughts. To be inhabited by a ghost, by the Holy Ghost according to 1Corinthians 6:19 "Don't you know that your body is a temple that belongs to the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit, whom you received from God, lives in you. You don't belong to yourselves." Your body is the house the Holy Spirit is going to haunt or frequently visit. The dictionary definition of haunt states"To visit or appear as a ghost or spirit. To frequent. To recur to continually. A place visited frequently." The comforter was sent to us Jesus sent His spirit or ghost , as in Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost context, to live inside of you. He will never leave you He watches, listens, guides, protects us. He abides wherever an individual goes He is with you and you are not by yourself. The negative side of the Holy Ghost is you just can't walk away from God. He won't leave you alone, He goes with you to parties, viewing things you shouldn't be seeing on the Internet, when a person is fornicating or fooling around with a man or woman that is not your spouse. You hear voices when you contemplate doing bad. There is a continual haunting of the souls by the Holy Ghost, backsliders are haunted by Him and then after they have been used by sin one day they get haunted because they will remember the peace they had before backsliding. He loves you so much that He won't let you go to hell.
When you try to be a good sinner you can't just walk away from Him. His grace, anointing, love is too strong. You will find yourself in a serious backslidden state when you first lie to yourself and then lie to authority. Remember Ananias and Sapphira, they lied to Peter who was the spiritual authority of the house/leadership and man of God. You can lie to a man in acts 5: 3-4 "Peter asked, "Ananias, why did you let Satan fill you with the idea that you could deceive the Holy Spirit? You've held back some of the money you received for the land. While you had the land, it was your own. After it was sold, you could have done as you pleased with the money. So how could you do a thing like this? You didn't lie to people but to God!" He is the spirit of truth and was there when you did it. People can't always see it but God does. If you lose your conviction or standards you are not fearing Him. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of an angry God. Never let your life get to that point.
Be careful how you treat the Holy Ghost it should be with fear of the Lord and respect the Holy Spirit and the word of God. Philippians 2:12 states, "My dear friends, you have always obeyed, not only when I was with you but even more now that I'm absent. In the same way continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling." It is your own salvation that needs to be worked out with fear and trembling and not anyone else's but your own that you are responsible for. Anything less than that is not true salvation.

Do You Ever Think To Yourself When On Facebook, "Why Did They Just Post That Comment Or Picture?"
My mother just may be right about her comments when it comes to Facebook. It can be very mindless at times. Some people tend to have no etiquette and just post whatever thoughts come to their mind. It is as though they think out loud without having a filter in place. Some of the stuff shared is overload and a bit too much info for family and friends, acquaintances and even co-workers to know about a person. Now, that is my opinion. Talk about addictions, this may be the new addiction that counselors in church offices will be dealing with to get people set free. Satan will always find some avenue to slither his way into, to capture the attention of people, keeping them busy and distracted just enough to keep them from destiny.
A word of caution to husbands/wives too. Unbeknown to the other in the "couple" scenario did you ever check up and see what FB pictures may be posted with you as the other person in their picture? Sometimes they are very complimentary pictures of the two of you and at other times it is quite obvious as to whom in the couple relationship may be a bit vain or wrapped up in themselves, for the picture of the spouse is not very becoming of that person at all. Be mindful of what you post. How would you feel if your picture was posted with your spouse and it was just not very becoming of you at all? This is the person that you are suppose to love, cherish and protect. Why would you do that for them in person on a daily basis and then something so mindless as a couple picture you would not present them in the best light possible. Isn't that what marriage is suppose to be about, the two shall become one? You lift up each others burdens; pray protection over each other; rejoice in each others success and accomplishments; be the lifter of the others head when they may be a bit down or having a not so good day? They are just thoughts. Or another solution could also be to just post a picture of yourself if you do not have a complimentary picture of the both of you together.
My suggestion would be to pastor's that if you have not had a pictorial church directory done in a while why not take the opportunity to have one at your church. Professional portraits would be taken of you and your spouse. More than likely a great pose or two are just waiting for you to be captured in a portrait. You would then have a few great portraits to select from to share with the whole wide world of you, your spouse, and family if you would so choose to use. Not only that, your congregation would also have the same opportunity and they would then have a great portrait pose to share as their FB profile picture. Just my thoughts, the choice really is yours.
Word of advice about FB, do not share too much information because it may appear to look as though you are insecure and seeking approval of mass amounts of people. FB can be used as a great tool to reach out to others and minister to them. It can be a wonderful opportunity to reach many at one time if it is used properly, in the example of praying for someone. My mother just may be right in this also...it is just a fad and something will come along to replace it. I agree with her when it comes to this thought, whatever happened to the idea of picking up the telephone and calling someone to have personal interaction with them? We have become so gadget oriented lately that people interact less and less via the old fashioned way of a personal visit with a person. Do you remember as a child going to Grandma and Grandpa's home for a family dinner and gathering at the dinner table? One of my grandmothers prepared a family meal every Sunday and whomever came to visit Grandma also shared in a wonderful home cooked meal. If there were leftovers and you were the only one visiting that day you were the recipient of a great care package. She would prepare soup along with a full meal which included some sort of dessert. You knew if she went to a certain peanut store downtown, for the cashews would be out to enjoy. You knew what bakery she may have visited the day or so before by the bag/box that was in her kitchen. You knew that Grandma was up early baking for you because the prize was on her counter just waiting for you to enjoy. Isn't it funny how you tend to remember simple things when you gathered at Grandma's home? There were a lot of grandchildren and I fondly remember playing a game with my cousins and we would sit on her steps leading to the upstairs and each time you advanced you got to move up a stair ( I think it was button, button who's got the button.) We would also put on skits for the adults to watch. There was a curtain that could be drawn from one room to another and we would use that as our stage curtain when we would perform.
Grandma always was so thoughtful. Think back and I trust that you have a great memory or two of your grandmother(s) and the love she(they) had for you.

I Just Have To Share This Testimony With You, To Show You How Faithful God Really Is.
It all began early this morning when I woke up a little after 1AM and was nudged by Holy Spirit to pray in the spirit for a certain person. I did and then fell back asleep. It was a pretty busy morning for me, for then a bit later I woke from a prophetic dream. I tested the source of the dream and I was assured that the dream came from God and to not rebuke the dream. I did not and I was nudged by Holy Spirit to get a tablet and I thought I was going to write the interpretation of the dream. When I began to write it was the very words that I received and published earlier today. It was a bit later on in the morning that I was shown the interpretation of the dream and I tucked it away in my heart and went about my day. Remember how I am trying to share with you to ask God to send people across your path each day in which you can be used as a conduit to a miracle coming into that person's life? I prayed and asked that this very day and He was faithful, ever so faithful again.
I was speaking with a person today and I just felt that nudge to ask a simple question of the person and then our conversation went in a different direction. I like to call it a Holy Spirit direction. It was amazing how the conversation went, I was able to encourage this person to share their gift with a wider audience in the form of a blog. The prayer of this person today was that they were seeking how they were suppose to do what they are called to do. I never met this person but God knew them and what their heart cry was today and He was so faithful to this person. We were able to share with each other a bit of our stories and how I seek the Lord daily with sending people onto my path to bless them. I then shared with this person the very words that I wrote this morning. I thought when I took down the words with a pen that they were for people in general until I spoke with this person today. I knew most assuredly that they were penned for them and then I shared a synopsis of the dream interpretation also. Never be shocked or dismayed when God follows through with what you request of Him.
I was at a church service this past Sunday and they were pretty pronounced words spoken and I will share with you my brief notes. Something for you to ponder on in reality with your very life... Ask God to show you His will for your life. There are 3 categories for the will of God: Providential will of God; Moral will of God; Personal will of God.
Providential will of God: the dictionary states that providential is of, pertaining to, or resulting from divine providence, divine care and guardianship, God. There are certain things that are the divine will of God and no man or anything will stop them from happening. Such as Abraham was called to be the father of many nations; God raised up Israel and no one will shut them down for it is His divine will. No matter who comes against them they will not fall. David was anointed to be king and no matter how much King Saul tried to wipe him out it was not going to happen and it did not happen because David was going to be the line that Jesus came forth. Saul was the one that was going after the Christians and he had a divine call with God and the very one that persecuted the Christians now wrote a good portion of the New Testament. So you see, no matter what man tries to do God's divine, providential will will always prevail. Jesus came to the earth and He will return to claim His people and that is another providential will of God no matter what others may think or say or lack in preaching to the people HE is coming again. All the signs we have been told about are pointing to this day coming forth. Prepare your hearts and lives to be ready for Him. You cannot stand in the way of the providential will of God.
Moral will of God is simply all found in the bible, the "to do" and "not to do" in your life. Such as pay your taxes, silence foolishness of man, submit to your husband and parents, etc.
Personal will of God is always found in context of the providential and moral will of God. In God's providence He will interrupt time for this. Think of it as this: ___________________ __________________
a timeline with a break of space in it. Time goes on and then the break in the space is when He called you forth to be born then time continued onward. Are you operating in the personal will of God. Seek Holy Spirit and He will reveal more light shed on your path with this searching you may have. Ask Him and then be prepared to change direction if you are not quite where you are suppose to be. If you are where you are suppose to be doing what you are suppose to be doing then by all means advance. Being in the personal will of God for your life I would think, is very pleasing to our Father in Heaven. Remember, He broke time just for you to be born and fulfill what you are called to do in His divine will. How exciting that is if you just think about it for a moment. Really, it is.

Prophetic Word of Encouragement Given To God's People For Today 10/26/10
Go forth as I gather My people that are called by My name to be a blessing to others-to distribute wealth-happiness-cheer-joy-peace to others. As you gather know that I strategically place you where you are to gather My people. They will be hurting, deluged with burdens, and just plain worn out and trodden over by the enemy. Do not cave in to the tactics of the enemy but build yourself up with the armor of God and never tire or cease in reading the word of God.
Continue to walk in and by faith and never tire of keeping your natural and spiritual eyes open for one in need that I send across your path. Be sensitive to Holy Spirit and follow His leading to minister in the moment. The one's that do and operate in this will continue to operate and strength will grow in them. Blessings are for the saints of God to not only receive into their lives but mainly for them to release and distribute into the lives of others.
You ask me to expand your territories-I have you will come across your path people of many nations and cultures. The barriers that were known in the past come crashing down like the wall in Russia came down. It is time for Freedom; it is time for Liberty; it is time for My people to acknowledge just who they are in Christ and to rise up and proclaim, "Jesus Christ has come in the flesh to come and claim His people."
Trust and rise up and know that I am God-I am Creator and what I create is very good with excellence. It is here because I created it-My will is done on earth as it is in heaven-expect mighty powerful exploits done in the name of Jesus FREEDOM REIGNS saith the Lord of the host of armies. IT IS FINISHED. AMEN.

Where Are You Going..To Hell Or To Heaven?
There are many that will tell you if you ask them this very question that they are or they think they are going to heaven. Are they? I cannot answer that question. Many in their last breath will scream out for help and ask forgiveness, that is, if they have the time to before they draw that last breath. Many keep putting it off until tomorrow. For some tomorrow never comes for them for illness or an accident or any other tragedy besets them and when they draw their last breath on earth their next breath is then in hell. Once that happens there is no going back and they are now doomed to pain and suffering for eternity, that is a very long time. The worst part of this scenario is that they will not be in the presence of Jesus. If you question any of this, then my friend, go and read the book of Revelation in the bible. If you are not familiar with a bible it is the last book in the bible, there are 22 chapters in this book. I am going to share with you the 21 verses of the very last chapter in the bible. You decide for yourself if you want to choose heaven or hell...
Revelation 22: 1-21 "The angel showed me a river filled with the water of life, as clear as crystal. It was flowing from the throne of God and the lamb. Between the street of the city and the river there was a tree of life visible from both sides. It produced 12 kinds of fruit. Each month had its own fruit. The leaves of the tree will heal the nations. There will no longer be any curse. The throne of God and the lamb will be in the city. His servants will worship him and see his face. His name will be on their foreheads. There will be no more night, and they will not need any light from lamps or the sun because the Lord God will shine on them. They will rule as kings forever and ever. He said to me, "These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord God of the spirits of the prophets has sent his angel to show his servants the things that must happen soon. I'm coming soon! Blessed is the one who follows the words of the prophecy in this book. I, John, heard and saw these things. When I had heard and seen them, I bowed to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing me these things. He told me, "Don't do that! I am your coworker. I work with other Christians, the prophets, an those who follow the words in this book. Worship God!" Then the angel said to me, "Don't seal up the words of the prophecy in this book because the time is near. Let those who don't have God's approval go without it, and let filthy people continue to be filthy. Let those who have God's approval continue to have it, and let holy people continue to be holy." "I'm coming soon! I will bring my reward with me to pay all people based on what they have done. I am the A and the Z, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. "Blessed are those who wash their robes so that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. Outside are dogs, sorcerers, sexual sinners, murderers, idolaters, and all who lie in what they say and what they do. "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give this testimony to you for the churches. I am the root and descendant of David. I am the bright morning star." The spirit and the bride say, "Come!" Let those who hear this say, "Come!" Let those who are thirsty come! Let those who want the water of life take it as a gift. I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy in this book: If anyone adds anything to this, God will strike him with the plagues that are written in this book. If anyone takes away any words from this book of prophecy, God will take away his portion of the tree of life and the holy city that are described in this book. The one who is testifying to these things says, "Yes, I'm coming soon!" Amen! Come, Lord Jesus! The good will of the Lord Jesus be with all of you. Amen!"
Choose for yourself this very day if your final demise will be heaven or hell. Only you can make the choice.

Blessed is the one who follows the words of the prophecy in this book. I, John, heard and saw these things. When I had heard and seen them, I bowed to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing me these things. He told me, "Don't do that! I am your coworker. I work with other Christians, the prophets, an those who follow the words in this book. Worship God!" Then the angel said to me, "Don't seal up the words of the prophecy in this book because the time is near. Let those who don't have God's approval go without it, and let filthy people continue to be filthy. Let those who have God's approval continue to have it, and let holy people continue to be holy." "I'm coming soon! I will bring my reward with me to pay all people based on what they have done. I am the A and the Z, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. "Blessed are those who wash their robes so that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. Outside are dogs, sorcerers, sexual sinners, murderers, idolaters, and all who lie in what they say and what they do. "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give this testimony to you for the churches. I am the root and descendant of David. I am the bright morning star." The spirit and the bride say, "Come!" Let those who hear this say, "Come!" Let those who are thirsty come! Let those who want the water of life take it as a gift. I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy in this book: If anyone adds anything to this, God will strike him with the plagues that are written in this book. If anyone takes away any words from this book of prophecy, God will take away his portion of the tree of life and the holy city that are described in this book. The one who is testifying to these things says, "Yes, I'm coming soon!" Amen! Come, Lord Jesus! The good will of the Lord Jesus be with all of you. Amen!"
Choose for yourself this very day if your final demise will be heaven or hell. Only you can make the choice.
Do you want to live with stuff like this for all eternity?
OR
Do you want to live with angels like this for all eternity (as seen through the eyes of one of my children when they were much younger?) The choice really is yours, choose wisely.

When God Opens A Door For You Do Not Walk, Skip,Or Approach Slowly...Run And Run Swiftly Towards And Through It
You have been praying and fasting and seeking the Lord for hours, days, weeks, months, and possibly years. You have remained firm and steadfast in believing His word and flowing in the prompting of Holy Spirit. Your day has finally arrived in which the door has been opened for you to advance in the kingdom where He wants you to advance. What do you do now? Do not panic or hesitate or retreat at this point. Listen to the still, small voice of Holy Spirit and allow Him to lead you through the door and window of opportunity that has been placed before you now. Some people just like a challenge of seeking and then when they hear from Holy Spirit and He works on their behalf to them they think the thrill of the challenge is now up. I warn you to not do that Holy Spirit will not be mocked or toyed with so to speak. This is serious stuff and of a serious nature. He sees and knows your heart intent and if you are sincere or not. Trust Him with all that you have and He will make a way for you. It may seem like an eternity for you at times but when the door opens it is so magnificent that you stand back in awe and wonder at what is right before you. It is OK to rejoice and be glad and so very thankful it really is. Just do not forget to give the glory to God. It is through Him that you are walking destiny this very moment and never forget that.
When the door opens for you some proceed with caution. They do not want to miss the door and they will look under each stone, rock, or pebble before them to make sure that they did not overlook something. The one that uses caution can then advance through the door because they know in their heart that every opportunity was handled. Signs were before them pronounced that that was not the doorway and in fact they were the doors being shut so pronounced that they will not doubt once they walk into the promised land. Then there is the category of believers that just go for it without hesitation and I applaud them for they have Holy Spirit guts and I like that very much so in a person. They just advance and do it you do not need to convince them or coerce them or anything they just know it is God and they trod forward. If I had sound with this blog I would play a clap/applaud sound right now for them. I change my mind, I would also play it for all that eventually go forth and walk through the door that was open for them from heaven. It would not surprise me if the cloud of witnesses also applaud in heaven. Did you ever think of that concept?You have to really start thinking heaven bound thoughts, not just earth bound ideas. Yes, they will be asking us to tell our stories to them when we are all gathered together what glorious days we have ahead of us don't we! That is of course if you are a believer and you have asked Jesus into your heart and one day very soon we will all be together when He comes to get His people, what a glorious day what a glorious day. Come Lord Jesus come quickly.
The picture I am showing you is an example of the stillness you will feel when you walk through the door that has been open for you. Notice in the picture there are no ripples in this lake. It is so still you can actually see the reflection of the background in the water. This picture was not taken mid day or even in the morning this was taken right before dusk. When you are walking where Holy Spirit wants you to be you will not only sense the peace and stillness you are able to now better focus on wisdom and direction and you are able to see the vision that has been placed before you. If the water was troubled and had ripples in it you would not be able to see the clear reflection. It is in the stillness that one is able to receive precise direction and the anointing just flows and grows too. We all are on a journey where is your journey taking you? If there is turmoil and strife and confusion you best pause and seek Holy Spirit to see if it is being brought about by someone or even others around you in your close circle of friends or even family. Do not let another stop your vision from coming into existence. Only you can judge with Holy Spirit direction if that is happening in your life. Sometimes trouble can be a stirring to get you closer to vision. You know an enemy can be used by God to turn you into the very direction He wants you to advance to. Don't grumble and complain just be thankful for the blessings in your very life and continue to acknowledge that there are blessings in your life and I am sure that is pleasing to our Father in heaven. If you are lacking something in your life like peace then give peace to another. If you are lacking food then give what you have and share it with others. Whatever you are in lack of God will always give you enough to allow you to share it with another. If you should have a few dollars in your pocket don't hoard it share it with another. If you have furniture and you are giving it away to an organization that helps those that may be homeless take one of those dollars and tuck it in the seam somewhere for the receiver of the furniture to find. You may think to yourself what good will a dollar do that person? You just never know if that very person was crying out to God for a sign or even asked for a dollar and days prior to that prayer you tucked a dollar into the furniture to bless them. God just may honor that single dollar bill far more greater than the one that has millions and does not give them away to help those in need. Just a Jesus thought delivered via me. Peace I speak to your storms in the name of Jesus and rest and refreshing I speak as a blessing into or life.

What Side Of The Road Are You Living On?
When I walked the other day I took pictures of the fields on both sides of the road. One side was lush and green for that was the alfalfa growing again after being harvested just a few short weeks ago.
The other side of the road contained the soy plants. Just a few short weeks ago they were lush and green. When you spanned the field with your eyes you saw a sea of lush green. Now, they are brown and dried out.
If you allowed your natural eyes to judge by the color of each crop you would discount the brown, dried crop as dead and no good by appearance. In reality the the soy still needs to be harvested. Do not be deceived as the bible states that even the elect in the days in which we live in will be deceived. Have you ever been deceived? I sure have and unfortunately I must confess that a lot of the deception came forth from people that confessed to be church going Christians. You never believe that is possible until after the fact and you realize that you got duped so to speak. I think it tends to crush you a bit because you are first in a bit of shock that church people act anything but the likeness of Christ. Please know that I am not classifying all church people in this category. There are so many genuine and sincere Christians that more than enough make up for the other category.
Our natural eyes tend to see things without searching out the truth. It is best to see with your eyes not just in the natural but also seek to see it in the spiritual also. You may understand it if I say follow your gut instinct. Did you ever feel led to not go in a certain driving direction? You just knew to not take the route you normally take when you drove that day. That has happened to me several times. I followed Holy Spirit direction and I am so glad that I did, for just up ahead on the road was a serious accident that you were spared from being a part of. I am sure this same type of experience has happened to you if you stop and think about it briefly. Sometimes you let your guard down because you think or assume they are good because they are professing to be a Christian. WRONG!!! I am not saying to not let your guard down I am saying to proceed with caution. Take the time to view and see for yourself the fruit that is being produced in their lives. You will be able to rat a phony out, it may take some time but if you trust Holy Spirit over your natural ability He will root it out for you.
If you have placed before you a lemon and a lime and you grab the lime first and cut it you will discover there are no seeds inside of it. You may assume that the same thing will await you when you open up a lemon. By the outward appearance you can assume that they are similar by looking at their shape. There is a variation when it comes to color. One is yellow and one is green. There are similarities that just may lead you to believe that when you open up the lemon second there will be no seeds inside of it. Similar but not exact. That my friend, you can equate to true believers versus believers that only speak it for others to hear and do not live the life as a true believer. Give a person enough time and you will see their true fruit if you choose to take the blinders off of your eyes and see them for who they really are. Either they are a true believer or just a believer in name only and not living it in their life. Do not be deceived but build yourself up in Holy Spirit via reading the word of God and being sensitive to the leading of Holy Spirit.
The stronger you grow the stronger the enemy will set up situations and circumstances in your life to trip you up and send you on a detour path to slow you down with what you are called to do in your life. Once he has been found out you demand him to give back the lost time that has been stolen from you. He is under your feet if you know who you are in Christ Jesus. Stomp his false misleading out of your life and laugh at him as you do. Even though you grow stronger and stronger you may still need prayer from others to intercede on your behalf. I have found that it can become a tad bit hard for you to pray for yourself in the midst of a battle. That is when Holy Spirit will put you on the heart of another to pray and intercede for you on your behalf. I know this to be true in my own life. I have at times even cried out to Jesus and asked him to please place me upon the heart of another to lift me up in prayer. He is ever so faithful that I can feel the burden lift from me. Be open and prepared to this also, at times He will not allow you to reach someone to pray with you but for you call out to Him and He will lift the burden from you. Again, He is faithful. Do you have the faith to trust? Let me tell you that I have recently walked through some big time Trust/Faith things in my very own life. I experienced both and if you noticed how I worded it, I said that I walked through them. He does not ask you to stay there He will walk through it with you. Open your spiritual eyes to Jesus and let Him direct your steps. When He does He moves quickly and with clarity, power, wisdom, grace, and blessings. So pronounced that you will not be able to doubt that it was the hand of God moving you through. Be blessed and sharpen your walk with the Lord, read your bible and be ready to spring forth in action when the time is right to walk through. Do not fight it or run from it or even avoid it. Prolonged obedience will only bring forth prolonged blessings. What do you choose, blessing or to still keep walking through for the second, third or even fourth time? The choice is yours.

I Saw This Video Yesterday Via The Music Minister At The Church I Attend And It Blessed Me, May You Also Be Blessed With It Too.Trinity's Married Couples Dance
I celebrate the freedom these couples have as a couple and in Christ. An expression of their love for each other and with Christ. I had to add this to this writing after viewing it again. This reminds me of dear friends of mine that were married on the millennium at midnight at our church and sure enough they danced as a couple as part of their ceremony on the platform. Nothing elaborate like this but it was their dance at their wedding union before God and their friends. That was over ten years ago and I thought it was unique and so "them" as their expression of love to each other and before their family and friends. This couple I am making reference to were not in their 20's, 30's 40's. I will stop there you get the idea. Age does not matter when God brings two together and they are free enough to express their love. I do not remember the song they danced to but I do remember the love that was in their hearts and if I am not mistaken it was just one of those dances a couple would dance as a couple in each others arms.
Adults Who Prey Upon Children STOP. They Are God's Children And He Is Watching Your Every Move.
I know this may sound pretty stern by the title. It is and do not be fooled if you think that God is not seeing what you are doing against His children. Your plotting, planning and conniving schemes to trap children. God is omnipresent which means He is present everywhere. He is also omnipotent which means He has unlimited power, authority or force. Several days ago I began to intercede for children and I prayed in the spirit as I was interceding for them. Words came forth to me. I will share them with you. God knew all along that my heart was tender and my tears flowed as I prayed for these children. I was in reality praying for all children, unbeknownst to me at the time, that have been preyed upon by adults. Holding power over innocent children with their sick/twisted/perverted thoughts, deeds and actions geared towards children. My God that I serve shall and will not be mocked by your wicked ways and perversion. Think about this the next time you are devising your sick and perverted plans that God is right there where you are at and He is watching you. One day you will have to go before Him and give an account for your life. That is fact and it will happen to you. Change your ways and wickedness and He will forgive you if you ask of Him and you repent with a sincere heart.
Children should always have the freedom to run to Jesus and not be hindered from it. If a force outside of this should try and steal this freedom away from these children it will be reckoned with by God. That is a pretty serious thing to happen to another to be reckoned with by God. That means pedophiles; people that traffic in stealing innocent children and selling their bodies to sick/perverted adults for their sick pleasure; and those that capture the children's hearts through deceiving words/plans for their own personal gain, drugs, alcohol, sex and internet pornography. I would seek the Lord and ask for repentance and the changing of your ways and turn to Jesus. Children are the heartbeat of God. How did He choose to bring His son to the earth? The same way in one respect as we were brought to the earth through the birth of a woman. He then walked the earth and yes, He was a child at one time too just like you and I. He may have stumbled on a rock or pebble and fell and scraped His knee. He learned respect in His home and maybe even corrected by a parent that loved Him and wanted the best for Him for they knew who He was and where He came forth from. A mother's love just may have kissed that scraped knee or a hug was given to Him by Joseph or Mary. You know hugs are not just because someone is hurting it may have been given out of love just because they loved Him.
I will share with you the words spoken to my heart days ago and may you absorb them and find comfort in them too.
"The children you pray for are fine & snug with love in Me-I will not let any harm at all come to them-in the physical, mental or spiritual. Those influences around them that are evil minded or negative are removed from them. Deception is being peeled back and exposed and truth shines forth. I will not tolerate the deception of My children. Children always have and always will come running to Me with open arms. Let your light in Me shine forth saith the Lord, your defender Amen."

Never Rue The Day You Worked For An Organization. Your Job Is To See The Silver Lining In The Experience.
I walked this evening at dusk. If I would have only looked and concentrated my efforts in the direction heading north, south or east I would have missed what was awaiting me when looking in the west direction. All directions excluding westward in the sky were filled with dark clouds. When I was walking and looked in the west direction there was a beautiful orange sky just below the dark clouds hovering over it. I chose to look in all directions this evening and because I chose that I was blessed with the beauty that my eyes beheld. Hang with me in my thinking OK.
No matter if you worked for an organization for a day, week, month or years do not see the negative in the work experience. Your job is to glean the great and positive while you worked for them and they worked with you. I believe the expression goes like this...look for the silver lining in the cloud. In each position you were brought to an organization to bless them with your gifting and talents. You probably even cultivated talents or sharpened your God given talents while in that position. If you are honest with yourself and search back in your memory and you are truthful you will find this is so.
There were people you met and touched your life in a profound way. You also touched the lives of others and made a mark upon their life too. You really did if you would just open your eyes to this.
I can think of one particular person I met while working for an organization. This person I began to trust and found them to be a mighty person when it comes to prayer. If I never graced the doorstep of that organization I would have missed the opportunity to be lifted up in prayer in such a mighty way. Thank you Lord for you are faithful and You knew all along that this person would grow and advance in prayer through my simple and sometimes big prayer requests. Pause for a moment and look back upon your freshly started or seasoned career and you will find a person or two that mentored you. Give thanks to God that you were allowed the privilege of crossing the path of that person or people. Look beyond the job experience and view the larger picture. If I chose this evening to only focus my attention on gray and gloomy clouds I would have never seen the beauty that awaited me by lifting my head up and into the direction in which the beautiful sky awaited me.
Do not let the cares of the world bog you down and act as a cloud upon your head. Look up and possibly into a new direction than you always look into and you will see the beauty right before your eyes to behold. God creates beauty and it is not just for a person to paint a picture or capture it on film. Oh no, it is for you to enjoy and recognize that it is God that created that very view for you to see. Did you ever realize that He may have created that very scene just for your pleasure that very day? He is God and He can do that just for you. He loved you so much that His only son came to earth to live and die for you so that you will not have to perish in hell for all eternity. He died on the cross that you may live with Him for all eternity in heaven. What a glorious love just for you. If you do not know of this one named Jesus let me introduce you to Him. He was born of the virgin Mary, he lived and walked on this earth and performed many miracles and set captives free, he died on a wooden cross and three days later He rose from the dead. He awaits meeting you and joining Him one day in heaven for all eternity forever. Would you like to meet Him? It is very simple just ask Jesus to forgive your sins and admit to yourself that you are a sinner. We all have sinned and believers around the world have asked one time or another for forgiveness of Jesus. He will forgive your sins if you ask Him to. Once you have asked forgiveness then invite Him into your heart. He will, all you have to do is ask Him. He is ever so faithful. In the moment that you invite Him the bible tells us that all the angels in heaven rejoice. Just think of that...the angels in heaven applaud your accepting Him into your heart and life. WOW. I applaud you also in making this decision. Your life will never be the same, and I mean that in a good way. Welcome to the kingdom of God and may your very life be filled with His abundant love and grace and peace too.

Give thanks to God that you were allowed the privilege of crossing the path of that person or people. Look beyond the job experience and view the larger picture. If I chose this evening to only focus my attention on gray and gloomy clouds I would have never seen the beauty that awaited me by lifting my head up and into the direction in which the beautiful sky awaited me.
Do not let the cares of the world bog you down and act as a cloud upon your head. Look up and possibly into a new direction than you always look into and you will see the beauty right before your eyes to behold. God creates beauty and it is not just for a person to paint a picture or capture it on film. Oh no, it is for you to enjoy and recognize that it is God that created that very view for you to see. Did you ever realize that He may have created that very scene just for your pleasure that very day? He is God and He can do that just for you. He loved you so much that His only son came to earth to live and die for you so that you will not have to perish in hell for all eternity. He died on the cross that you may live with Him for all eternity in heaven. What a glorious love just for you. If you do not know of this one named Jesus let me introduce you to Him. He was born of the virgin Mary, he lived and walked on this earth and performed many miracles and set captives free, he died on a wooden cross and three days later He rose from the dead. He awaits meeting you and joining Him one day in heaven for all eternity forever. Would you like to meet Him? It is very simple just ask Jesus to forgive your sins and admit to yourself that you are a sinner. We all have sinned and believers around the world have asked one time or another for forgiveness of Jesus. He will forgive your sins if you ask Him to. Once you have asked forgiveness then invite Him into your heart. He will, all you have to do is ask Him. He is ever so faithful. In the moment that you invite Him the bible tells us that all the angels in heaven rejoice. Just think of that...the angels in heaven applaud your accepting Him into your heart and life. WOW. I applaud you also in making this decision. Your life will never be the same, and I mean that in a good way. Welcome to the kingdom of God and may your very life be filled with His abundant love and grace and peace too.

Miracles Are For Today And You Could Be Used By God To Help WIth A MIracle In Another Person's Life, Did You Know That?
I am reading a great book right now on how you can be used by God to help bring forth a miracle to another person. Once I am through reading the book I may share it with you. Until then I am testing out what it is saying and so far what I experienced today is proving to be fruitful. I asked the Lord today to allow me to be a delivery person for God. The prayer is a signal to heaven that you will be alert to God's prompting and looking with anticipation as to where you will serve. It all started this morning by the gentle tug to go and walk when I did. I saw a neighbor that was going to surgery and while I walked I prayed for them. I was also able to bless another person today too. I also prayed that I would be a blessing in another respect today and sure enough a golden nugget so to speak connection was dropped into my lap. A person I was speaking with directed me to another person to speak with and a great connection happened. I was also blessed myself today too. When you ask to be used in miracles for others you can also ask that miracles or blessings come into your life too. I was having a conversation with two people and an age question came up. I asked them if they were older than me and I told them my age. I remember the stunned look on the guys face when I told him my age. He did not believe me when I told him how old I was. He said to me that my face did not look it at all. That was such a blessing to me. I do not feel my age either. I am young at heart and it truly blessed me, I will never forget the stunned look on his face when I told him my age. For a guy to be stunned like that is a true compliment in itself to a woman.
This is a very good book filled with informative information. Let's see what God has in store for me tomorrow. Remember they are simple nudges that you have the choice to either respond to or let pass you by. Choose to respond for there is something special about God allowing you to be the conduit to pass a blessing/miracle onto another person. He may require you to give something up that you may have in your possession. Let go of it and let Him use it to bless another. Keep watching and expecting that someone may come across your very path. It was no coincidence that they were there just for you to be used to bless them. God truly is good all the time. What happened in your life today in which you can look back and know it was God setting you up for a miracle? Think hard and He will reveal His hand upon your life this very day.

I Came Across My First Bible That I Actually Started To Read In 1996. It Was A Catholic Bible And I Will Share What I Wrote In It On 6/22/1996.
I came across my very first bible that I purchased. This was the bible I began to read when I started reading the bible. It was a Catholic bible and I wrote this on a page just before the New Testament:
6-22-96 @ 8:45 AM
" I started my scriptural journey with the Lord 141 days ago-February 3, 1996. How beautiful-on the 3rd of the month-in my life 3 is pronounced for to me it represents The Trinity-The Father-The Son-The Holy Spirit Amen. Praise be the Lord now and forever. Amen I say Amen.
On this journey I am to read 1 chapter per day. When it commenced I was guided by a spiritual director to start with theNew Testament. Amen I say amen praise be the Lord now and forever-the ever loving and precious Lord that died on that very cross and shed His precious blood so that we all may live and be set free from the evil and destruction in this world of ours. Come Holy Spirit fill the open hearts that await your guidance. Amen."
The Catholic bible has a few extra books in it than the bible you are probably comfortable reading. When I began to read this bible Holy Spirit would show me things as I read. I guess you would refer to it as the windows of my understanding were opening up. At this time in my life it was not much longer before I would start attending a non-denominational church in which I was then being taught the bible through preaching of the word of God and through a bible study that the pastor's wife taught. I did purchase another bible which was the New King James version. I will never forget the kindness of the man in the church book store that assisted me with selecting a bible for me to read. I knew in my heart to set aside the Catholic bible and start to incorporate the new bible into my life. I never threw out this bible or even the bible I purchased even though the pages began to fall out. I have good insights and preaching notes in the margins and when I look at them it reminds me of where I came from. Do you remember the first real bible you began to read? Why not pull it out of a closet and look through it. Notes you may have written years ago or even days ago too may be the very words that bring comfort to you today. Never forget the small beginnings in your life when you first came alive as you gave your heart to Jesus and the bible became alive in your life.
I found a piece of paper tucked inside the other bible and it was a joint collaboration what was written on this piece of paper. My son and I received words from the Holy Spirit:
It is hard to read the piece of paper that we wrote on as you can see. I will share them with you. At the time we were believing for a car and that is why you will see what my son wrote.
Coming soon
And trust until it comes
Rejoice when you get it
Please note that all that came to pass too.
This is what I wrote for the word JOY
Jesus paid the price for our freedom
Only you can share your story with others
You will see Jesus & all will know that you were with Him

From What I Understand They Are Predicting A Cold WInter This Year In OH, I Refute That I Just Saw Another Light Woollybear Yesterday
From what I understand they are predicting a cold winter in OH from the Woollybear event last weekend. I refute that with my evidence that I have been presenting to you all along. Again, yesterday, when I walked sure enough there was another light woollybear that crossed my path. Look at the diagram again and it tells you the darker the color the harder the winter. Well then if that is true then it must be also true that the lighter the color the easier the winter will be. You be the judge of this one. I am still sticking with my prediction as I follow nature. I have not seen at all any dark colored woolybears I have now seen a total of five of the light colored woollybears. I guess only time will tell. Happy winter to you all.

Sometime's When You Go Through A Door That God Opens For You It May Be Through The Tiny Keyhole. Very Interesting Very Interesting Indeed.
Dear friends of mine explained this concept to me and it sure has caused me to ponder on it and ask the Lord to let me be pliable to go through without scrapes and bruises. It was explained to me like this through a visual example. How many of you are of the school that you learn better with an example you can visualize than a concept you have to grasp? It was explained to me like this...visualize an old fashioned key hole where you use to put a skeleton key into it to open it. Do you have that image in your mind now? Great, think how narrow the space is to accommodate that key that opens up the door. You have two options when it comes to you going through that opening. You can fight and scream and kick and go through almost being pushed through the opening and come out the other side with bruises, hurts, sad memories, crushed hearts, broken dreams, etc. OR you can go through pliable sort of like jello would go through it. Jello would conform to the opening and go through smoothly. Which do you prefer? I would definitely prefer the second method. If you are not kicking and fighting God or pouting and asking over and over and over again WHY then you should come through without any regrets and know that it was Him all along getting you positioned to make your grand entrance through the window of time He called forth in your life. Once you walk through you can look back and take a sigh of relief and truly see it was Him pushing you in that direction. It is not always that easy as you are in the "pushing" process though. You may cause yourself to doubt here and there and have moments of saying to yourself "I just want this to be over why does it seem to be taking so long for it to manifest?" That is natural and do not beat yourself up over having those thoughts or asking questions too.
A heart that hungers after God and the movement of His spirit on the earth today will learn to not succumb to those things a bit less and less as time goes on. Notice I did not say that they totally go away after time did I?
Remember, a key that can fit through the tiny opening made just for that key can cause a huge door to open. It is the very same key through the very same opening that can cause a huge or even a small door to be locked also. When we are told that God opens doors that no man can shut or closes doors that no man can open we just assume it is through a doorway don't we? Has He ever asked you to go through the narrow opening of the keyhole? That is actually the first place a key will go to open or lock a door. That is right where I am right now in my life. Be sensitive to Holy Spirit because your opening may be very narrow because not everyone is called to go into that arena or to come along with you. If they are not equipped and ready they will never go through the key opening with you smoothly and if they go through kicking and fighting they will hold you up and your progress. If they are truly to be with you they will go through in a timely manner and fashion and you will walk together on the other side into freedom. If they are not to be there then do not drag them with you for they will surely slow you down and you will cover less territory that needs to be covered. Really examine your friends and acquaintances for the one's that tend to be close to you now may be the very one's that are holding you back from destiny. Do not let a person or people hold you back from your destiny for you and not them will have to answer for yourself before God. You will not be able to blame it on others you will have to stand before Him yourself and answer for yourself.
In the beginning of this week there were two door choices before me. I have been praying for months that the angels that are there to minister to the heirs of salvation would keep open doors that God has opened and keep shut tight the doors that are suppose to stay closed for me and my life. Today, a third door seemed to open and a previous door shut. I heard of the newly opened door before I heard of the closed door today. I should be rejoicing in this but I had to go and walk and lift it to my Jesus because it was getting to be a bit overwhelming. I did and I am at peace. Do not be surprised when He answers your prayers? It is so like Him I have found in my own walk with the Lord that He opens new and fresh things created just for you. When you may seem a bit dry and parched He truly does deliver you streams in the desert. Refreshing that soothes your soul and allows you to be thankful and excitement well up inside of your for the possibility that may be right before your very eyes. You see, I have found Him to not only be faithful but He is most creative too. If you follow Him you will see that His plans are far more greater than what you could have imagined. Keep that excitement in your life and your walk with Him. When he creates He creates awesome. Take your eyes off of the shut doors and the should-a could-a things and press towards the mark of the high calling on your life. See with faith what He calls you to see and the people that will be touched by your very life, for not wishing on a falling star but reaching for a beautiful star that shines brightly in the sky. It is so bright that it brings light onto your path to get you to that destiny. Never forget it is His hand gently guiding you if you choose to go through the open door with His grace and wisdom.
Final advice do not fight His plan for it is where joy comes forth and the refreshing rain that waters the parched and cracked land. The rain not only refreshes but it allows the fruit to grow and then it is harvested for all to enjoy the fruit of the harvest. I choose life and abundant life at that what do you choose this very day or night?
