I Have Heard This Preached Several Times, The Wealth Of The Wicked Is Being Stored Up For The Righteous. Guess What? I Experienced That Very Thing The Other Day.

I have heard so many times people preach on the bible verse that states that the wealth of the sinner is being stored up for the righteous and that there will be an end time transfer of this wealth. Well, I experienced it first hand the other day. It seems to be that when God enlightens you with an actual scripture verse coming to life in your very life it really does take on a new meaning. It has always been in the bible and you have read it maybe several if not many times in your life. Do you agree that when it becomes real and Holy Spirit illumines it in your very life you can take ownership of it more so than when you would just read it. Does that make sense to you?
We went to breakfast the other day. We were finished eating and I went to go inquire of the check and the owner and the waitress said they were just discussing that. Right away I thought to myself oh no what is wrong if they were discussing that. It was then shared with me that a woman came in earlier unbeknown to me and she inquired of what the various people in the restaurant ordered and the amount of their bills. She then selected one of the customers in the restaurant and paid for their meal. We were the one she selected. As I recall now I do remember looking around at one time and I saw a petite woman with dark hair at the register and thought nothing about it. I just figured she came in and ordered something to go. I was kind of right, she did order an orange juice to go and then selected someone to pay for their bill. The owner told me she has done this before and to just accept it for she has money. Further discussion revealed that she lives in close proximity to the restaurant and she also reads tarot cards/psychic.
When I heard that I got a little concerned accepting a gift from a new age person. It was then that Holy Spirit reminded me of that scripture and it then took on new meaning in my life. Of all the people in the restaurant at the time she came in we were the one's she selected. I then said wow to myself I know what it means now when that very scripture comes alive in your very life. I wasn't going to write about this because I didn't want to sound boastful or arrogant or brash. I thought about it and thought to myself share the story with others to encourage them for if a new age person can bless Christian's and may not even realize they just blessed a Christian let the people know about it. It really does bring glory to God doesn't it.
I did nothing other than show up at the restaurant at the very time we showed up, ordered our meals, visited with each other and enjoyed our breakfast. God did all the rest. He orchestrated for that very woman to come into the retaurant at the very time she did to get her orange juice. You see the greater part of this story is this...as I was driving today and pondering what happened it was then that Holy Spirit prompted me to believe in faith that if that woman can bless a Christian then why cannot I pray that she will be led to Jesus and converted to be a Christian and then her trade of reading tarot cards, etc. can be used for the glory of God with His gift flowing inside of her for His kingdom good. I would venture to guess that she probably flows in the prophetic and right now she is using it for the enemy but when she captures the heart of Jesus in her heart she can then use that gift to bless the kingdom of God.
See how God can set things up in your life to bless you but then be an avenue for you to be able to pray for someone. God is awesome in power, wonder and grace is He not?
You may say to yourself why does she think this woman flows in the prophetic? It is just a hunch and I am basing it on my past experience. Before I was born again I had such a desire to have tarot cards read and went to a psychic to learn about my future. I flow in the prophetic and there is something about that when you flow in that area. You are naturally drawn to future events and happenings does that make sense. I would be drawn to that kind of thing because I wanted to know about things to come forth. That was a natural inside inquiry I had because in reality I flowed in the prophetic. Satan tries to mimic the true gifts of the Holy Spirit disguised in things like psychics, etc. In conclusion, if I flow in the prophetic and I was drawn to the new age realm before knowing Jesus and accepting Him in my heart then how much so would it be for the person that is actually performing new ages rituals. Just one of my thoughts/insights to share with you today. Until the next time we meet again, peace in your heart and home.

Well, It Is Pentecost Sunday. What Do You Think I Am Going To Write About Today? Being Filled With The Holy Spirit.

There was a mighty move of God today at our church service. Pastor preached on the list of people that the bible states need to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Let me share that list with you today, may I?

1.) Spiritual leaders: pastor's and those in charge of ministries

2.) People who are highly blessed and highly favored, financially blessed people.
      Even Mary, the mother of Jesus, was in the upper room the day of Pentecost.

3.) Devout Christians, It is the gift of the Holy Spirit to pray for you through you.

4.) Healed, delivered, and baptized in water  people.

5.) People that are scholars in scripture and know the bible; zealous and have zeal.
      Read 1 Corinthians 14:2 it is a whole chapter about praying in tongues.
      1 Corinthians 14:39 states "do not forbid to speak in tongues."

6.) Generous, prayerful people. The example of Cornelius in the bible.

7.) Long standing religious people and those that have been walking with God for a long time.
      Acts 19:2 states that Jesus said these signs will follow you will speak with other tongues.

1Corinthians 14: 1-6 states:
"Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially the gift of speaking what God has revealed. When a person speaks in another language, he doesn't speak to people but to God. No one understands him. His spirit is speaking mysteries. But when a person speaks what God has revealed, he speaks to people to help them grow, to encourage them, and to comfort them. When a person speaks in another language, he helps himself grow. But when a person speaks what God has revealed, he helps the church grow. I wish that all of you could speak in other languages, but especially that you could speak what God has revealed. The person who speaks what God has revealed is more important than the person who speaks in other languages. This is true unless he can interpret what he says to help the church grow. Brothers and sisters, it wouldn't do you any good if I came to you speaking in other languages, unless I explained revelation, knowledge, prophecy, or doctrine to you."
In my bible I have notes I jotted down next to this scripture stating that it refers to the gift of tongues, praying in tongues, praying the perfect will of God.
1 Corinthians 14: 39 states: "So, brothers and sisters, desire to speak what God has revealed, and don't keep anyone from speaking in other languages. Everything must be done in a proper and orderly way."
In Acts 10: 31 states: "Cornelius, God has heard your prayer and has remembered your gifts to the poor."
I remember this, years ago I was in a mainline religion. This religion did not teach about praying in the spirit or things of that nature. They were ahead in one aspect though. They held monthly healing services after the main service and if you had prayer concerns you would go up on the altar after the service and prayer teams would pray with you. This woman would at times sign a song and I asked her once what were the words she was singing they were so beautiful and she gently explained it to me about praying in the spirit. I did not even know that the words were that she would sing as she would pray for me but it was so beautiful. Holy Spirit taught me the majority of what I was learning at that time in my life. Let me share with you the day I was filled with the Holy Spirit right in a room in my home without anyone praying over me at all. It was my time in God's time to be filled with the Holy Spirit. I cannot promise you He will fill you like He filled me but what He began to reveal to me was powerful in my life at that time in my life. I was journaling back then and let me share that experience with you OK.
As I am looking at one of my journals I can trace it back to January, 1996 when I was filled with the Holy Spirit. This is an excerpt or two of what I wrote that day. " On Monday, the feast of the baptism of Jesus Christ, my newness of life began...This was the 1st of the bleeps to come to me ( this is the only way to describe it, I'm awake and a flash of a picture comes into my mind it is ever so clear and vivid to me-as in details)...
As the day progresses I'm beginning to pray in tongues. I'm guided to go to my heart and hear and speak the words (not loud and shouting-I'm doing it with a gentle tone) after the words come and I speak them-there's always a pause and in English I'm given an explanation of what was spoken on my lips. Thank you Holy Spirit-thank you...since you and your presence have come into my life I've experienced some of the most beautiful things-how through your prompting my faith grows each day-I love you I praise you and above all honor you. Thank you once again. My life sees so much beauty when I look at life through the eyes of prayer. In the middle of total caious a calmness and peace comes through."
If you knew me you would probably not even know when I was praying in the spirit. I do this mainly silently. Not always but at times when I need direction I do ask for Holy Spirit interpretation and He gives it to me. Now know this, you may be praying about something and the interpretation may be something of even greater value to you than just a simple answer to your prayer question to Him. Remember this for this is of valuable information to you. The enemy cannot understand or even like to be around one that is praying in the spirit so even if you get an interpretation that you may speak or write it out in English, because he has no knowledge or understanding of this then do not be afraid to write it down or speak out the interpretation for he is not able to understand it because it is God speaking His prayer through you. Holy Spirit revealed that to me a long time ago because he searched my heart and knew of my concern of  what if I spoke it out the enemy would know what He revealed to me in prayer. He cannot understand it because he is not allowed to have that knowledge. God really does take care of His people doesn't He.
Do not be afraid of Holy Spirit, He is so gentle and so willing and just waiting to share with you what He can only share if you allow Him to. This is not some kind of weird thing that some think it may be, it is a deeper intimacy with the one that created you and wants to bless you with wisdom beyond your own human concept of wisdom. Do not be a scoffer or mocker of those that pray in the spirit for would you mock God? If you would not mock God your creator then why would you mock His prayer flowing through another. Just something to think about.

Great Song From Kari Jobe's Latest CD

I Lost Something Very Valuable To Me & I Have To Just Let It Go.

This happened to me years ago, I purchased a beautiful blue topaz pear-shaped ring when in the Bahama's. The only reason I got it was it so reminded me of the beautiful color of the water where the cruise ships docked. It was a beautiful shade of blue just beautiful. The setting of the stone eventually became loose and the stone would wiggle out and I would find it in places like sitting on the floor of my car it would come loose and fall out. Many times I would find it until this one day. This day it went down the drain and I did not know you could open up drains and retrieve it. It was hard for me to let go of that for I really did like that ring and it reminded me of that beautiful water in the Bahama's. At that time in my life Holy Spirit was dealing with me about letting go of things and letting Him bring new things into my life. To trust Him and not hang onto material things.
It is a lot easier said than done let me tell you. I would look many times when I would be in a store to see if I could find a blue topaz ring of the same color and never found one quite like it. My father went to Israel several times when he was living and on one of his visits he brought me a beautiful 18K gold Jerusalem cross. It sat in my jewelry box for a long time until the last year or two. I saw a preacher preach on the power of the cross and how God can protect you with wearing a cross or keeping a cross in your possession that evil spirits cannot be around the cross. Now, it was not the medal or any other material used to make crosses, it is the symbol of the cross and what it represents what Jesus did for us when He died on the cross that the power is there to keep away evil and allow God's protection. If you saw me out in public you would probably not even know that I had that cross in my possession. I did not wear it to display it, I just had it in my possession does that make sense. So many times I thought I lost it, again, just like the topaz ring and I would silently say OK Lord I can let go of it. I said that several times and it is a lot easier said than done when it really happens right. Now, it really did happen and I sought wisdom advice from a spiritual figure in my life. I know what the Lord was saying to me in this but I guess I needed to hear it from one that has wisdom. The protection is not in the cross per say it is in Jesus and He will continue to protect me. I had to get out of the comfort zone of keeping the cross in my possession and keeping my eyes on the one that died on that cross for my protection does that make sense to you.
Letting go of something that is of value is a hard thing to do and it has been a while since I had to let go of something of value. This was a beautiful cross, there was a cross on all 4 corners of the medal and it was stamped on the back Jerusalem and it was 18K gold too. I can only think that God has a purpose in the life of the person that may have found this cross. Maybe it would be sold to feed their children or cloth a child? Maybe it was the found answer of someone that was giving up on life and needed a sign from God that life is worth living? Maybe someone from Israel lost a cross very similar to this one and it was God blessing them with a hidden treasure just for them that very day. I may never know who was blessed with finding this but I know that my trust and hope and protection is in the Lord and Him alone and it was time for me to get a grip on trusting Him with everything in my life.
I guess part of me letting go of this was a bit tender since it was one of the few things I had from my Father. If you have read any of my blogs you would know that when he died I led him to the Lord just a few weeks before he died and after his death we were left with the task of having to contest his will because others that inherited all of his things. Really, the whole sum of what was given to me from my Father was in a box and even at that the items I requested were not even in that box. Greed is an ugly thing and it can possess a person it really can. This greed stemmed from those that did not feel that we should have any of our Father's possessions and corrupted our Father's mind. A word of wisdom to you out there reading this. T
here are others out there looking for opportunities to swindle people out of their rightful inheritance and greed is an ugly thing that will drive them to this. Look out for your parents if they are older and use wisdom to protect them. It is not for any other reason than they are your parents and do not allow someone to come in and swindle them OK. When I saw my Father not being quite as sharp as he use to be, for he was a businessman, I tried to suggest to my siblings that maybe we needed to get power of attorney for him to look out for him but no one thought the same as I did. What a mess we were left to deal with after his death. So many times the Lord reminds me of the scripture in the old testament, Numbers 27: 1-11 clearly states the way property should be distributed. Read it for yourself. Quite often He reminds me that what was stolen from us will be returned to us it is not for me to figure out how or when, that is up to the Lord and how He sees fit to bring it back to us. What man thinks is the logical way to receive it is always the opposite way of how God will bring it back into your life. I would rather wait on Him and let Him create for me then step out of His direction. Step aside and let Him avenge your enemies and fight the battle for you. There are times when He will do this for you. He really will. Rest in Him and let Him take care of it for you.
Again, I feel strong in reminding you to look out for your elderly parents. They worked very hard all of their lives and some may have even built businesses and others comes along and literally take that away from them. My Father had a business and when he was not as sharp as he use to be others did sneakily (not sure if this is a word or not) take his business away from him in a deceptive way. He was too weak at that point to fight for it. I tell you now when you steal from others no good will come forth out of that. God see's and knows all things at all times. You can ask Him for forgiveness if you have been a part of something like this and God will forgive you. I would rather do it now while still alive than wait, for you may never have the opportunity just before you die to ask forgiveness. Once you take that last breath it will be too late. At that point you will either be in heaven or hell for all eternity. Eternity is a very long time where would you like to spend it? The choice is yours and if you have something to repent of do it now while you still have the opportunity to do so.

"God Woman" Was The Title Bestowed Upon Me By A Group of 8th Graders When I Volunteered As A Lunch Mom

Many years ago I volunteered as a lunch mom helper at the school my children attended. I enjoyed it very much so and I found myself in precarious situations for I would defend and stick up for children that were not even my own children. I guess I thought lunch time should be a time for children to unwind, enjoy their lunch and enjoy the company of their friends. I found out it was anything but that. I approached a teacher that was an overseer, and they treated lunch time like the children were in some sort of boot camp, it was anything but enjoyable for the children. I may have stepped out of line by doing this but I had enough of the attitude and strict regimen that caused people to feel very uncomfortable at lunch time. I think I said something to the effect, this is not a boot camp these are children and they should be able to enjoy their lunch time. Wow I guess I said the wrong thing to the wrong person. I do not recall the details it may have been that I was told (and I agreed to this also) that if this happened again I would have to step down in volunteering as a lunch mom.
What do you think happened? One of the children was being treated very unfair by this same teacher and I stood up to this teacher and spoke to defend this child. It was not even one of my own children. I knew what was coming next, I had to step down from volunteering in this capacity.
While I was there I encountered, the 8th grade boys. That is what I will call them. They seemed to be the tough one's in the group but aah God has given me a gift of seeing the best and looking beyond what the world would say is no good or bad to see the good inside of them. What do I do best, I am kind by nature and an encourager right, you should know me by now that I do encourage others with words to uplift and not tear down. The Lord used me in their lives to speak life to them and to follow after their dreams.
Guess what they nick named me? "God Woman." Now, they probably did it to possibly mock me but I just loved that title, I really did.  I was writing back then in the form of journaling and I came across an excerpt of what a wrote..."After the field trip I was given permission to just observe my children's lunch period, both inside and outside. How I miss the children-the 8th grade boys were passing by & one of them said, "There's God Woman" (this is a name sometimes used to refer to me.). I went towards them and told them how I miss their smiles and that it was OK to  call me "God Woman"- for I love the Lord and I am a woman."
The prior year I was guided to purchase a very special Christmas gift for the children of the school that my children attended. I went to one of my favorite places where peace and love just radiates, it was a local shrine and I enrolled the children for 1 year at the shrine, 52 masses will be said for the children at the school.
This is what I wrote in the card (the president of student council read the card over the pa system so the children knew of the masses):
"Know that God's love is in each and everyone of your hearts. May peace and blessings be bestowed upon you and your families during this most joyous season...The miracle of all miracles...the birth of Christ." I then signed my name.
I also noticed in this particular journal writing more thoughts I wrote when I wrote out the card to them. Maybe God was preparing in that it would not be much longer that I would volunteer with the children for this is what I wrote..."As I write this I can't help but feel sad-My work will be coming to an end soon with the children at this school...The Lord has other work for me and I must be open to His leading. Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice-The Lord has come and He will return again. He prepares us all for the 2nd glorious coming...All sing & praise our Lord...for as we await this coming you can truly be open to Him in your hearts and lives. He waits in love for your prayer and asking of Him to enter into your life...All I can say is that it is ever sweet when you give up your will and accept the will of God. May we all be blessed and pray for many to open their hearts to the Lord-He turns no one away. Amen, sing with praise."

Let me clarify something right here. I was still of a mainline religion that did not teach me about evangelism or even being "born again" at this time in my life. It was truly Holy Spirit teaching me all that I was learning at this point of time in my life. Evangelism training and bible teaching, etc. came later on down the road. So you can never tell me or convince me otherwise that when Holy Spirit is about to do a work in your life that He will not prepare you for it, He is faithful. Are you faithful to Him and do you seek out His wisdom and guidance? I cannot answer that question for you only you can. If you never have I encourage you to do that very thing.
Signing off for now as God Woman, a title that was probably meant for mocking but I choose to see it as those youngsters speaking a prophetic word into my life. Lord my prayer is that you continue to bless each and everyone of those children, that are probably adults now, the very one's that heard the intention read that very day in school over the PA system (and even if they were not there that day, the intention was for them also because they attended that school.)
