Newness of Life

 I want to share a journal entry from 10/10/20 that I found edifying to re-read. It's so good to go over our journals because we really do tend to forget. I am coming to see that 90% of our faith walk is comprised of simply remembering. The enemy works hard to make us forget. Like many of my blogs I am writing stream of consciousness so it's not clean and edited.  Prayer Walk October 10, 2020 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God! Oh wow this morning was powerful. I feel a fresh wind of God blowing. I see fire, and flecks of gold and white blowing winds of fire.   So, I will do the play by play. I was walking and thinking, thinking, thinking. Then I thought about how my beautiful Bridegroom Jesus has a still, small voice so I took some time to get quiet. Your thoughts are not my thoughts O God, your ways are not my ways. Here, let me lay them down and quiet my mind so that I may hear your words of life, words that always bear good fruit when they f...

Jesus was bound and led away to die so that we could be loosed from Satan's dominion! Praise God! To be "bound" means fastened to, tied to, and it's what Satan wants to do to us, but Jesus came to set us free so that nothing can exercise any dominion over us. Through his death, he destroyed the one who had the power of death! Coming soon....

 In this post, I tried to pull together what I have been hearing over the last few years in terms of the season that we are living in. I just wanted to see it all together instead of spaced out in my journals, some of the most crucial words and warnings. I hope that it encourages you. My Children, Are you awake? Are you not able to discern the hour in which you live? Will you be full of faith, believing the word of the Lord, or will you be unfaithful in this most crucial hour?   “ Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat,and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.” Mark 16:14 Unbelief:  ognate: 570   apisia – properly, without(divine persuasion, "no-faithfulness" (unfaithfulness); "want of faith" (betraying a trust)" Will you believe the scriptures and discern the hour and expect the return of the Lord, just as scriptures have prophesied, or will you have a ...

  That They May Be One- What Is True Unity? "Scripture tells us to test prophetic words, and to search the scriptures to determine if the word being spoken is of God. I don’t know about you, but when was the last time that you heard anyone talk about testing the prophetic word, teachings, or those who claim the office of prophet or apostle? I have never heard anyone talk about it, but on the contrary, I have only witnessed a blank check that the church is expected to sign for anyone who claims to have spoken to an angel or has a word from God. " In what many call Jesus's high priestly prayer, Jesus asks the Father to make us "one".  I am not sure what others think about this prayer, but I had the impression that he was praying that we might be one with each other.  As I read it again the other day,   I saw it in a new light, one that thrilled my heart and elucidated the road to unity within the body of Christ on earth. John 17:10 Jesus said, “…and all min...

  In 2018, I went through a terrifying time in which the enemy came against me with such fear that I shook for an entire week. God was faithful to see me through,   and at the end of the week he set a table for me in the very presence of my enemies. He said, “The enemy is going to come against the body of Christ seven ways to Sunday (my human interpretation). But will you fear? No! Do Navy Seals get afraid when they hear the enemy is coming? No, they don’t because they have trained, and they know that they belong to a strong army and represent the United States. Do not be afraid." What struck me the most was when He said, “ You will have to choose between believing and cleaving to my word-or what you will see in the natural. It’s My word, or the circumstances … which will look very bad (i.e. terrifying, threatening, intimidating etc.)” Since that time, I have been “girding up the loins of my mind” as much as possible against all of the natural things that tempt us to doubt G...

 (I'm doing some quick notes on my morning time and the nuggets He gives me.) Hear and Live! The past few days the Lord is speaking to me about the necessity of getting quiet in order to hear Him. There is a war for our attention; not just for the focus of our attention, but our attention itself. Our minds. Our ability to get still and to live in a place that is still enough to hear His faintest nudge. Psalm 32:7-10 Thou art my hiding-place: thou wilt preserve me from trouble; Thou wilt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee. Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding; Whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in, else they will not come near unto thee. Many sorrows shall be to the wicked; But he that trusteth in Jehovah, lovingkindness shall compass him about. This passage fills me with a sweetness and a peace that is...

  My Children, Are you awake? Are you not able to discern the hour in which you live? Will you be full of faith, believing the word of the Lord, or will you be unfaithful in this most crucial hour?   “ Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat,and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.” Mark 16:14 Unbelief: ognate: 570   apistía  (the negated form of  4103   /pistós , "faithful") – properly, without(divine persuasion, "no-faithfulness" (unfaithfulness); "want of faith" (betraying a trust)" Will you believe the scriptures and discern the hour and expect the return of the Lord, just as scriptures have prophesied, or will you have a hard heart of unbelief? The Anna’s and Simeon’s (intelligent hearer) who live in the secret place with Me will discern the hour, and the religious who may know the word well but who lean unto their own under...
