IT’S NOT OVER YET

October 3, 2015

As the body of Christ stirs, excited for the coming events, the synchrony of the final fourth blood moon with the celebration of the feast of tabernacles, I find there is so much confusion. 

Confusion and planning and preparing for all that the mind has gathered over its lifetime. 

This must be the final days, this must be Tribulation, are you a pre-tribber, mid-trib or post-tribber? 

I hear my mom's voice even as a young girl, "In the final days, the time of the Rapture, if your dad and I go and you are left, this is what you do...." then she would list things I should DO and NOT DO...

I remember thinking, "Is this all Christians think about?" 

The END DAYS...The fear of being left or not left on this earth to fight amongst the "Great and Terrible Day of the Lord"? 

As I grew older, I realized I was quite different than my parents and their generation, Fear did not shape my thinking.

Worry did not keep me on or off course. 

I was what some called, a FREE SPIRIT. 

While I thought this was my separation from Christianity, I came to find out, it was my separation from Religion, tradition and Iniquity. 

Iniquity is sin that is passed down through generations, it is what I like to call, The silent killer.

My favorite definition of sin is anything that is NOT of faith or anything that causes us to NOT trust in God. 

It can be a thought, a worry, a fear. 

It can be a word, a statement, a belief.

It can be a sin committed by our ancestors that was never acquitted. 

Unknowingly and unintentionally, this iniquity is handed down from mother to child or father to child.

In each generation the iniquity grows stronger and stronger, that is with one stipulation, that the next generation RECEIVES it. 

It was hard for me to receive fearful thoughts, for at a very early age my dad taught me to speak scriptures. One of which, said "I did not receive a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind!" 

“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”

‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭1:7‬ ‭KJV

In fact, that was part of my daily confessions every single day of my life for 15 years. 

As that scripture took root in my heart, it pushed the iniquity of FEAR further and further from me...in fact, so far, that it pushed me clear across the country. 

Fear pushed me away. 

The silent iniquity, a generational curse of my ancestors, pushed me right out of my own family. 

I couldn't thrive around a spirit of fear for it was NOT of me. 

And now, I watch in agony, as Christians push the world farther and farther away with the same sin of fear, worry and self-preservation. 

I see the same remarks in their faces as they look at the people of this world and the coming generations, 

"We told you so! The great judgment is coming!!" 

While on the other hand, most Christians are clinging to the deep longing of being carried far, far away from the anguish! 

I understand this feeling as we have all been persecuted, persecuted for most of our lives. 

But, we can't forget that "hurt people hurt people."

And this world is full of "hurt people". 

So why do we, Christians, feel we are deserving of being carried from this anguish?

The Bible states very clearly that NONE of us are deserving of the Grace of the Father. In fact, one definition of Mercy is "NOT getting what we deserve." 

And one definition of Grace is "Getting what we don't deserve." 

Non of us are deserving of a secret escape, a stealing away, as some like to call it. 

None of us are deserving of heaven either, but Jesus sacrificed his own life to grant us that special gift. 

While Heaven is a gift,

The Rapture has become a crutch, a means of escape, an avoidance of responsibility. 

The Bible states very clearly that we have a command in this earth: 

“And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1:28‬ ‭KJV‬‬

We are to create a garden of Eden right here on the earth! 

It does NOT say we are to hold tight to what we have or build a store house of food, water, guns and ammo until Jesus comes to rescue us. 

We are told to hold fast to our Faith as it is challenged on this earth.

“Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)”

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭10:23‬ ‭KJV‬

We are to fight to make God's name a Praise in the earth. 

We are to fight to keep the enemy from leading the sheep astray.

We are to defeat the enemy of this world with the blood of the Lamb and the Word of our testimony. 

“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭12:11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

We are NOT to run, hide or wait...

To run is to Fear. 

To prep is to Fear. 

To fear is to sin. 

Anything that is not of Faith is sin. 

“.... and everything that does not come from faith is sin.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭14:23‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Fear and Faith cannot co-exist. 

Let us not be found guilty of this fear, of longing for the end to come. 

Rather, let us know that this Fight isn't over yet, that wonderful things are headed for those who believe and trust in the Father. 

There are many prophecies left to be fulfilled, prophecies of restoration and restitution. 

Let us be reminded:

“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. 

Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”

‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3:9‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Lord, let your will be done on THIS earth, the same as it is in heaven! 

Pray that we “for....all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.”

‭‭I Timothy‬ ‭2:2-4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

And lastly:

“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

—Psalm 46:10

View from the sidelines...

This anger I have is a righteous one. The one Jesus had as he turned over the money changers' tables in the temple. It's an anger that burns for truth and hurts because the truth is silenced. 

Part of this anger lies in the fact that I have no where to vent. The other part is that venting changes nothing. My writing has brought about no change since day one and why is that? Because when Jesus came into my life, changed me and made me new, gave me a new heart, one that only loves with the Father's unconditional love, a love that doesn't see race or color, a love that this world doesn't understand. This unconditional love is far from EROS, it does not aim to please itself, it cries out for the lonely, the lost, the confused. But the world didn't want to hear about that love, not then. Close friends unfriended me, I was labeled as a fanatic by those who knew me and those that control social media. So, I stopped writing. I stopped speaking from my new heart, my freed spirit. Again, no one cared, no one noticed. In the past few years, 

I've come to understand social media is ruled by the same like minded people who rule big Pharma, so why would I participate in such debauchery in the sense of corruption, so corrupt that the very word debauchery isn't in the auto correct library. 

There are a select few ruling this nation and for once, we land a president completely removed from all parties and yet these select few use social media to cast blame on this man every day for every unrelated situation, especially those situations created by this select few. 

This select few use social media to cast blame on everyone but themselves. They are heathens, again another word not found in autocorrect. They are spineless, they hide behind their money and computers and bait the innocent. And in innocence, I mean the blind, the confused, the sheeples. They fall for all of it, the bait n switch, the paid protests, the false media, every single twisted word, picture, video and post, they fall for it face first. And understandably so, they are blind. 

And the ones who try to show them the truth, those of us who are aware are hidden from view, blocked, censored, labeled fanatics, conspiracy theorists, evangelicals, Jesus freaks! 

We have to watch quietly from the sidelines as the hunger games play out before our eyes, wishing we could reach out, tell them how they've been duped, baited and being led to slaughter but they wouldn't give us a time of day now. 

We have been labeled by social media, their god. 

This weekend it is a white supremacy march (paid for by yours truly, George Soros), last year it was Black Lives Matter( paid for by yours truly yet again). 

The onlookers blame the president, God, Christians, Americans. I laugh because it's so unbelievable but then I cry because I know they believe it all. They are lost and confused sheeples without a guide, without a lamp unto their feet. Moving through this world blindly while those with sight, sit silenced on the sidelines. 

We tried to warn you, we tried to show you the way, but you refused to pay us any attention. 

There is a way, a way to freedom, a way of love, but I don't know if your god will ever let you see it. 

23A fool finds pleasure in wicked schemes,

but a person of understanding delights in wisdom.

24What the wicked dread will overtake them;

what the righteous desire will be granted. Proverbs 10

Mysteries will be revealed......

My husband and I were traipsing through the sand at one of our favorite beach getaways. As we walked along a well marked path through the dunes, I said to him, "It's crazy to see how much this place has changed in just two years, since we last visited? It's even crazier to think that a little over 10 years ago, no one knew this place existed." 
Before a well known magazine blasted this secret beach as the most beautiful beach in the U.S., there were no marked trails or designated campsites. There were no rules to follow. It was very unlikely that you would see even a few people here and there and if your paths crossed, they shared the same agenda - longing to escape the hustle and bustle of modern life. 

What was once a hidden treasure is now happily treaded on by millions of folks every year. 

Then it came to me... So it shall be of the kingdom of God. The mysteries that were once barely uncovered will be highlighted like a highway, even an interstate. 

The deeper things belong to us, His people.....

"The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law." Deuteronomy 29:29 NIV

New mysteries will need to be uncovered and what a time of rejoicing this will be! This is not a tme to fear false prophets Or the great deception. This is a time to know our God and know his personality - if we have established a relationship with him, we will not be deceived or dismayed. 

Jesus said, "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:" John 10:27

This a time that we will be strong in The Lord and the power of His might. We will be making these trails, that so few only knew, KNOWN. We will be bringing the kingdom of God to a new level. We will be carriers of His Presence. 

We are in charge of bringing heaven to earth.

"God has now revealed to us his mysterious plan regarding Christ, a plan to fulfill his own good pleasure." Ephesians 1:9 NLT

Restoration of the US of A

Lord we pray that all of us that are called by you, all of us in the church, all of us in your kingdom, will hear your voice and turn from our wicked ways and repent. 

We pray that conviction will flood our hearts, minds and spirits. We will reflect on times of old, the ancient paths, and walk in those ways. 

We will be reminded of stories of our ancestors and the goodness and blessings of the Lord. 

Our blinders will be removed from our eyes, the scales will fall from our eyes and we will see what the Spirit of the Lord is saying to us, His Church. 

We shout Ephphatha!!!! Be opened ears and hear what the spirit of the Lord is saying to us, His Church. - Mark 7:34

We pray that hearts of stone will be replaced with hearts of flesh. 

That all walls will crumble and our understanding will be enlightened. 

We speak to the roots of iniquity and bind the influence of generational curses over our lives. 

We call freedom into our midst. 

We pray that we will receive the  anointing that removes burdens and destroys yokes. 

We pray for a fresh anointing and indwelling of the Holy Spirit. 

We pray for shields of favor and blessings walls of protection to shield us from the enemy. 

We pray for the dissolution of ego.

We yearn for total dependence on the Father. Humility will become our virtue. 

Denial will be broken off our minds, deception will be removed from our hearts and spirits. 

Honesty and Truth will reign in our lives. 

Humility, Humility, Humility, less of us and more of YOU. 

We must be a people totally dependent on our Creator, knowing that without YOU we are nothing and that WITH YOU , all things are possible. 

Let us know and rely on the fact that "If God is for us, WHO can be against us." 

Let us know that YOU will never leave us or forsake us. 

Keep us in a place of humility, Lord, where we know that YOUR strength is made perfect in our weakness. 

Keep our hearts light as we are reminded that THE JOY OF THE LORD IS OUR STRENGTH!!!

"if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14 NIV

The wheels of restoration are turning

Finally, I could feel spring in the air. Looking into the sunlight, I watched with excitement as the warmth began drying the tiny droplets of rain on our uncut blades of grass.
I felt I had just survived one of the most difficult winters of my life! Thinking it may never end, I was finally able to see the glimmer of hope, of warmth, of spring.
Riding season was upon us.
With one deep inhale, I rushed inside to grab my bike, I couldn't wait to ride!!!! I was tired of feeling old and stale, rickety and stiff, I just couldn't wait to move my legs.
Reaching for my bike I remembered, winter had been hard on all of us...especially my bike!
I had no choice but to give up that spring day ride so I could take my bike to the shop for a tune-up.

I tend to keep my bikes longer than most, so it's customary for the sales rep to give me the look of, "surely you're just going to get a new one?" Before, the negative comment exited his lips, I kindly reminded him, that I LOVE my bike and I would like to get it back in riding shape for this season.
The mechanic walks out, without a single word, takes my bike and puts it on the stand for its assessment.
He goes over each problem with care, makes some notes, hands it to the sales rep, who puts together the estimate.
Wanting to break the silence, I say, "You know, I feel a lot like my bike, after this winter.."
He stops writing, looks up at me for a second and then back down to finish the estimate.
Not wanting to say much else, I just watched my bike as the mechanic continued to carefully assess it. Then piece by piece, I was able to work with the sales rep to pick out new parts for my old bike.
And that's when I realized...
Most of the body of Christ feels like that old bike...
Old,
Rusted,
Stiff,
In dire need of repair,
In dire need of rebuilding.
There are times we have felt abandoned. .
There are times we have felt out of touch with ourselves, our families, our society, and even our heavenly Father.
In fact, many feel they ARE abandoned.
Many feel they are in this battle alone. Weak, worn out, in disarray, confused, just too tired to carry on, too worn out to fight.

BUT those times are coming to an END!

Just as I watched the mechanic with my bike, I saw the Heavenly Father, working over every detail in His Children's lives, carefully seeing that, they LACKED NOTHING.
He is carefully seeing that there will be NO feeble among us!

He says right there in His Word, "Do not be like them, for your FATHER knows what you have need before you ask Him." Matthew 6:8

We get caught up in the doing and forget about the BEING.
In these final days, as we work to carry out the Father's will on the earth, we mustn't forget, our only assignment is to be AS JESUS WAS.
"As He is, so are we in this world." 1 John 4:17
Jesus was never concerned with what he should do or what he should say, what he would wear or what he would eat.
He merely trusted His Father,
trusted in His love,
trusted in His goodness,
trusted in His mercy
and obeyed.

"Apart from the Father, I can do nothing." John 5:30
Apart from the Father we can do nothing. This is a time where we are going to have to come together in Unity and draw our strength from our Father's love. The ONLY source of strength in this earth, will be the Father's LOVE.

"Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself; he can do only what he sees His Father doing, because whatever the Father does, the Son also does." John 5:19

As we approach this NEW and exciting season, let's allow the Father to repair our brokenness, heal our sicknesses and diseases, strengthen our weaknesses and soften our hearts so that His Will can be done on this earth, the same as it is in heaven. Let Him mold and shape us into His Image,
His Image of Unconditional Love.

The Kingdom of God HAS COME WITH POWER!!

This morning as I lay in bed, barely awake, I was startled by the loud sirens that seemed to circle my neighborhood. As the irriation of likely a false alarm cringed my thoughts, I pressed through and said the prayer that I have chosen for those in trouble....

 Dear Lord, I pray, that the person in trouble, "will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power.” Mark 9:1-3 NIV

I have made this my scripture my prayer to speak over anyone in trouble, when I see a car accident, hear sirens, see a passing ambulance, I stop and pray this prayer. Yet, all the while the depths of this scripture did not hit me until this morning...

..."some who are standing here will not taste death before/until they see that the kingdom of God has come with POWER!!!!"

As I opened up my Bible, I stared at those words, "until the KINGDOM OF GOD HAS COME WITH POWER!"

Out of all those that I had prayed for, all of those in trouble, all of those in need, how many truly understood THE POWER - the healing POWER, the rescuing POWER, the resurrecting POWER of the ALMIGHTY GOD?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say, "Maybe 1%?"

How could this be so? When did our world become so dependent on this "natural system"- 911 calls, ambulances, emergency rooms, doctor visits, diagnostic testings, surgical intervention..." The people of this world have been investing in a system that is failing.

Why had they not invested in God and His power, the ONE who NEVER fails?

I began to realize, how much WE are to blame....it is not God who has failed the people of this world, it is us, His Children, His Kingdom carriers, the ones who KNOW His Power, His love, His magnitude.

The scripture says "For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. " (Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭19‬ NIV)
WHY?
"so that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God." (‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭21‬ NIV)

It is
OUR DUTY,
OUR CALLING
As KINGDOM carriers, who truly understand the POWER of the living God.
Those of us who understand His
POWER to heal,
POWER to save,
POWER to set free,
POWER to resurrect.
We have been chosen
TO REVEAL
This POWER to the dying, hurting world around us.

"For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. (‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭20‬ KJV)

While we may have retained our gifts quietely, afraid of what the world may think, afraid of what others may say, people of this world have carelessly passed away, struggle aimlessly, reaching, grasping for anything that could bring them hope.
We must say, "NO MORE!"
IT IS TIME
To manifest God's Power on this earth!
IT IS TIME
To become God conscious and no longer, self conscious.
IT IS TIME
to look outside of ourselves and see who and where we are needed.

We are coming into a time,
AN OPPORTUNITY to REDEEM ALL THAT HAS BEEN LOST!

A time to be TRANSFIGURED!
A time to be AS JESUS IS!
A time to establish God's KINGDOM IN THIS EARTH!
A time to manifest God's GLORY!
A time for the next AWAKENING!

"After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone.
There he was transfigured before them. His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them." (‭Mark‬ ‭9‬:‭1-3‬ NIV)

Our only job is to love

Just this morning a simple, almost natural headline read, "mother stabs 3 daughters to death." 

As I read through the article, I was memorized by the acceptance and justification of such an act. The world is immune to terror. Fear, depression, insanity, outrage, and murder have become commonplace. 

Why? 

The world no longer feels or experiences the conviction of the Holy Spirit. Their hearts have become as stone. 

Why? 

Their lives have been void of love. 

Love is the fertile soil that nurtures a normal human being. Without love there cannot be normalcy of emotion and expression. 

Our hearts are gardens and must be tended regularly by the one who created it. 

Bitter roots, judgements, vows, seeds of unforgiveness all need to be weeded out. Without such care, the garden can no longer produce fruits of love, joy, peace, forgiveness or simple acts of kindness. 

While we were mere children, we were given natural mothers and fathers to tend our hearts' gardens but the wounds of the parents hindered the love the children deserved. Rather than sowing seeds of love and forgiveness, most have sown their own seeds of hatred, self-righteousness, bigotry, unforgiveness and bitterness right into the innocent youngsters' hearts. The parents are completely unaware of this transfer. It's an evil cycle. 

But it's not to late for this cycle of destruction to be broken. 

The solution is LOVE, Agape LOVE. 

As Christians, this is our only calling. We also know that our natural love will not suffice, we must love with the supernatural, unconditional love of the Father. 

Our job is not to convict, convince or judge. 

Our ONLY responsibility is to LOVE. 

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunesso that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in you." John 15:1-4

It is hard to love the mother who so ruthlessly stabbed her 3 innocent daughters. It is nearly impossible to love the man who has raped and murdered countless young women. It is beyond natural ability to love the man who has stolen the innocence of young children and exposed them to others through pictures and videos. 

Yet, if we want to see an end to it all, the only answer is LOVE. 

We love because Christ first loved us. 

We are in Christ and He is in us. We are intertwined in His vine. We cannot be separated from His love. 

We were not designed to hoarde his Love. We were designed to release it to the dying, hurting world around us. 

Christ died so that ALL should live. 

When Christ gave Himself up for the world, He took ALL the judgement that day. He took it so that the world could experience freedom from darkness and unconditional love without condemnation or judgment. 

Jesus said, “This voice was for your benefit, not mine. Now is the time for judgment on this world; now the prince of this world (satan) will be driven out. And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.” He said this to show the kind of death he was going to die.

John 12:30-33

The only way the world can experience Christ is through us! 

This is the year for Victory over Death. 

This is the year for God's manifested Love to be revealed on this earth through us, His earthen vessels. 

The greater we love, the greater victory we will win. 

Let's join together to put an end to this madness. 

Make a commitment that if left up to you, "none will taste death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom." Matthew 16:28 

So that His Kingdom may come on this earth the same as it is in Heaven!! 

"If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge that person. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them at the last day. For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me to say all that I have spoken.I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say.”John 12:47-50
