Jesus answered: In all truth I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above. John 3:3 (NJB)

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Is there anyone among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you then, although you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! In everything, treat others as you would want them to treat you, for this fulfills the law and the prophets. Matthew 7:7-12 (NET)

While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after giving thanks he broke it, gave it to his disciples, and said, "Take, eat, this is my body." Matthew 26:26 (NET) As church was ending today I heard God speak something into my mind. I clearly heard him say, "Fresh bread is available."  Thinking over this word I was then aware of a picture being shown to my mind's-eye. It was that of honey being applied to a hand and forearm. I could see that there was a healing taking place, as that honey was applied. He told me the honey was representative of his presence. If we allow the substance of his presence be applied to our lives, healing would come. My mind again comes back to the spoken work, "There is bread available."  While I sense it is for me, I doubt God is limiting it, but is rather opening it to any/all who would come and eat of the bread of life. It too reminded me of a night vision he had given me a previous year. I was climbing up a snow

  And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them.  But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart.  And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them. Luke 2:18-20 (ESV)

But the angel said to them, Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which will come to all the people.  For to you is born this day in the town of David a Savior, Who is Christ (the Messiah) the Lord! Luke 2:10-11 (AMP) I proclaim my word. My living Word is yet alive. No longer do you need be trapped by the thoughts and traditions of men or yourself. I release great news of a savior is comes to release you from the bondage of any captivity. In Him you can have the liberty intended for you to walk in. I am releasing sight for those blind to what I see within them. I am sending healing to those who will believe; relief from the agonies received from others or even self-inflicted. Good News. Good new is to be shared. It will flow from your inner parts outward to others in need of what I've placed within you. Today my son is renewing hope for all peoples and nations in all situations. Today my son is celebrating with his brothers and sister

Christmas time means many things to us over he years of our lives, some more traditional than others. This year though, I've taken a different look at the familiar. Here are a few thoughts relating to the Christmas story. You may likely have a list of your own applications. -- While I change, the message will not change. For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people. Titus 2:11 (NET) -- I can expect the supernatural to be apart of and more common in my life. The angel replied, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be holy; he will be called the Son of God. Luke 1:35 (NET) -- I should not always expect to understand things. But Mary treasured up all these words, pondering in her heart what they might mean. Luke 2:19 (NET); Matthew 1:20 -- Despite my own internal issues, it is still good to be with family. In those days Mary got up and went hur

Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand, upon the son of man whom You have made strong for Yourself. Then will we not depart from You; revive us (give us life) and we will call upon Your name. Restore us, O Lord God of hosts; cause Your face to shine [in pleasure, approval, and favor on us], and we shall be saved! Psalm 80:17-19 (AMP)

Late this afternoon I stopped at a store before taking the dogs for our walk. On the way to the car I saw a dime. As I reached to pick it up, I saw another. I bent over picking them up simultaneously, one in each hand. I heard myself say, "Another set of paradigms." I wondered what God may want to be saying. We went onto our walk. As soon as we got out of the car we heard a train passing. Both the dogs and myself are fascinated to see them pass by. As we walked a bit, we came across two parked cars, the people were sitting on the picnic table talking as we walked by. Unusual I thought, as it was cold to be sitting/chatting outside. Further along, the dogs are excitedly barking. Two adult whitetail deer run across our pathway. They stop a safe distance away from us and look at the dogs who are still barking at them. Now we are walking back to the car, and there is another train. It caught my mind again, there were several "pairs" today. Two dimes, two dogs, t

And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human, incarnate) and tabernacled (fixed His tent of flesh, lived awhile) among us; and we [actually] saw His glory (His honor, His majesty), such glory as an only begotten son receives from his father, full of grace (favor, loving-kindness) and truth. John 1:14 (AMP)

Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear and heed you. Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will release you from captivity and gather you from all the nations and all the places to which I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I caused you to be carried away captive. Jeremiah 29:12-14 (AMP)

Then Jesus spoke out again, “I am the light of the world. The one who follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12 (NET)

Sometimes we can receive a word from God and do nothing with it. That is not what he wants. We have instruction, "Pursue love, yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. For one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries. But one who prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation and consolation. One who speaks in a tongue edifies himself; but one who prophesies edifies the church. 1 Corinthians 14:1-4 (NASB). Hence I apologize for holding onto this short word I had r eceived. I want to bring change. I invite you to participate with me.

Recently I was reading, sitting at my computer when I heard the Father-God speak to me. It was but one sentence, for which I knew I was to think over. He asked, “What do you want to do?” I was drawn back to another time when several years prior. He gave me a verse through the time of my clock as I was driving to a conference. He asked, What time is it?” I had to look. I said, it is 6:27. I knew there was a very specific 6:27 verse for me. And for some unknown reason I knew it was in Jeremiah. I read Jeremiah 6:27 several times in different translations to see what I might glean. It was when I read from George M. Lamsa’s translation (1934, A. J. Holman Company). I was taken back to that verse in relation to the question. I have set you as a seer among my great people, that you may know and understand their ways.” Jeremiah 6:27. It took several years for me to any any internal thoughts as to what he was initially asking/saying to me.

You have heard; now look at all the evidence! Will you not admit that what I say is true? From this point on I am announcing to you new events that are previously unrevealed and you do not know about. Now they come into being, not in the past; before today you did not hear about them, so you could not say, ‘Yes, I know about them.’   Isaiah 48:6-7 (NET)

O my people, hear my teaching; listen to the words of my mouth. I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter hidden things, things from of old-- what we have heard and known, what our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from their children; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done. Psalm 78:1-4 (NIV)

Each of you should be concerned not only about your own interests, but about the interests of others as well. You should have the same attitude toward one another that Christ Jesus had, who though he existed in the form of God did not regard equality with God as something to be grasped, but emptied himself by taking on the form of a slave, by looking like other men, and by sharing in human nature. Philippians 2:4-7 (NET)

The question remains valid. It matters not what others think or say, or even Peter’s answer. You alone must experience the answer before it can be answered. He asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him, “You are the Christ.”  Mark 8:29 (NET)  

What are you giving away? Don't hold onto what I have given you, but share it. Let me multiply upon the earth. Give it away. Show your good fortune and gifting, so you can have more. Don't be bound by self-expectations. Free yourself and rely upon me. Learn what to give away and what to keep. Give in to the pleasures of experiencing me.

So pray this way: Our Father in heaven, may your name be honored, may your kingdom come, may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Matthew 6:9-10 (NET) I'm sure I'm not the only person whose heard "bad" teaching on the concept of  binding and loosing. I was listening to a teaching and the topic came about. It brought a new, clean light to my mind. If Jesus calls them the keys of the kingdom (Matthew 16:19), they are important concepts for us to grasp and practice. What I heard today was like this, "If it does not exist in heaven, it should not be permitted to exist on earth. But if it does exist in heaven, then we should be practicing it on the earth". The responsibility is ours. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever you release on earth will have been released in heaven."  Matthew 16:19 (NET)

Gather yourselves unto me. Come up and sit with me. I have much for you to do. Come near and I will instruct you. Come closer and find yourself healed. I am your shepherd-protector. Do not grow weary. Continue to climb up my mountain. I am the one drawing you.  I am the one who grants you dreams of a future. Sit with me, for I have chosen you to rule, to delivery my justice and mercy upon the earth. You are mine and I will reward you. Allow me to move among you that we may talk and share my thoughts. I am looking for those who will intercede for my people; for those who would speak upon their behalf. Lift your voice aloud and shout, "Here is your God!!" Cast out fear. Let my love be seen in your every reaction. Lead them to me.   You who bring good tidings to Zion, go up on a high mountain. You who bring good tidings to Jerusalem, lift up your voice with a shout, lift it up, do not be afraid; say to the towns of Judah, "Here is your God!" See, the Sovereig

For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him…  Philippians 1:29 (NIV)

Happy are the people who know the festal shout, who walk, O Lord, in the light of your countenance; they exult in your name all day long, and extol your righteousness.  For you are the glory of their strength; by your favor our horn is exalted.  Psalm 89:15-17 (NRSV) It is time for you to walk in the light of my forgiveness and grace. There are things I want to show you.  There are some scabs of the past which must be removed so that healing can occur.  There are misrepresentations and strongholds awaiting to be toppled. My love is for you. Renew the expectations and excitement you once held. Come back. Spend your time with me.

Be devoted to prayer, keeping alert in it with thanksgiving. At the same time pray for us too, that God may open a door for the message so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. Pray that I may make it known as I should. Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunities. Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you should answer everyone. Colossians 4:2-6 (NET)

Shout out praises to the Lord, all the earth! Worship the Lord with joy! Enter his presence with joyful singing! Acknowledge that the Lord is God! He made us and we belong to him; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give him thanks! Praise his name! For the Lord is good. His loyal love endures, and he is faithful through all generations. Psalm 100:1-5 (NET)

My son, preserve sound judgment and discernment, do not let them out of your sight; Proverbs 3:21 (NIV) 3-2-1 Yes, I'm counting down. The count down is active, but not as you might expect. My ways are to bring all into the fold; peoples of every nation are to be at my table.  Cast out the darkness, bring the light to them.  Do not be silent. Bombard the heavens with the intercession I've given you. I'm counting on you to accomplish your part. Discern the voice of my direction and cast a wider net. Visit unfamiliar waters. Learn to move in expectancy and abundance. I am the great provider-creator. There is nothing too difficult or me. Follow the direction I shall give in dreams. The count-down has begun. The harvest will be innumerable.

"Remember these things, O Jacob, for you are my servant, O Israel. I have made you, you are my servant; O Israel, I will not forget you. I have swept away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like the morning mist. Return to me, for I have redeemed you." Sing for joy, O heavens, for the Lord has done this; shout aloud, O earth beneath. Burst into song, you mountains, you forests and all your trees, for the Lord has redeemed Jacob, he displays his glory in Israel. Isaiah 44:21-23 (NIV)

Open for me the gates of the just king’s temple! I will enter through them and give thanks to the Lord. This is the Lord’s gate — the godly enter through it. Psalm 118:19-20 (NET)

Summon your power, O God; show us your strength, O God, as you have done before. Psalm 68:28 (NIV) As I was driving home from work yesterday I heard the Father speak these two short items. Find the answer for yourself. Do you know what I am doing? I want to move off of the page and into your heart. This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. 1 Corinthians 2:13 (NIV)

For all who are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God. Romans 8:14 (NET)

Look, the little tribe of Benjamin leads the way. Then comes a great throng of rulers from Judah and all the rulers of Zebulon and Naphtali. Summon your might, O God. Display your power, O God, as you have in the past. Psalm 68:27-28 (NLT) Come to the source and find what you are seeking. Come drink freely that you may be activated in what I have for you. Come to the source of life and resurrect the dead. Come to the source of living water and share with all who thirst. I am the living WORD. Allow me to speak through you. I am the source of all light. Come into my presence and my out-shining will heal those whom you pass. Let the light shine forth for the world to focus upon, that it would illuminate their heart. Come to the source for pure love casts away all fear. Awaken to the fact that you have within you what the world desires.  Be drawn to the great light, the source of all things. As he was going along, approaching Damascus, suddenly a ligh

And they who are wise and understanding among the people shall instruct many and make them understand, though some [of them and their followers] shall fall by the sword and flame, by captivity and plunder, for many days. Daniel 11:33 (AMP)

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea that caught all kinds of fish. When it was full, they pulled it ashore, sat down, and put the good fish into containers and threw the bad away. It will be this way at the end of the age. Angels will come and separate the evil from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace , where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Matthew 13:47-50 (NET) He told them, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they threw the net, and were not able to pull it in because of the large number of fish.   So Simon Peter went aboard and pulled the net to shore. It was full of large fish, one hundred fifty-three, but although there were so many, the net was not torn. John 21:6, 11

As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased."  Matthew 3:16-17 (NIV)

Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the desert and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. So Moses thought, "I will go over and see this strange sight--why the bush does not burn up." When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, "Moses! Moses!" And Moses said, "Here I am."  Exodus 3:1-4 (NIV)

So we, numerous as we are, are one body in Christ (the Messiah) and individually we are parts one of another [mutually dependent on one another]. Having gifts (faculties, talents, qualities) that differ according to the grace given us, let us use them: [He whose gift is] prophecy, [let him prophesy] according to the proportion of his faith; Romans 12:5-6 (AMP) Never lag in zeal and in earnest endeavor; be aglow and burning with the Spirit, serving the Lord. Romans 12:11 (AMP)

...but the people who know their God shall prove themselves strong and shall stand firm and do exploits [for God]. Daniel 11:32b (AMP) I want you to know my heart is for you.; to learn the depth of my love and acceptance. I want you to experience me and all I have for you. I want you to more than just succeed, but to outlandishly prosper in all ways. I want you to rise above the mundane and sit with me in heavenly places. I want you gain a new exuberance when you read my word. It will come to life and into your being. I want you to cast out the demons of your past, to lay hands on others that I may fill them; to extend my grace to the nations. I want you to look for me, to walk each day with me I want you, all of you. God said, Let Us [Father, Son, and Holy Spirit] make mankind in Our image, after Our likeness, and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the [tame] beasts, and over all of the earth, and over everything that creeps upon the e

Jacob left Beersheba and set out for Haran. When he reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep. He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. There above it stood the Lord, and he said: "I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying. Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring. I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you." When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he though

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 1 Peter 2:9 (NIV)

"There is so much more I want to tell you, but you can't bear it now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future.  He will bring me glory by telling you whatever he receives from me.  All that belongs to the Father is mine; this is why I said, 'The Spirit will tell you whatever he receives from me.' John 16:12-15 (NLT) While I am yet away, I am with you. The Spirit is revealing my heart to those who will listen. The Spirit will teach you. Ask and receive in line with what I have for you. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. There is freedom from self-expectation.  There is no condemnation from me. While you may not see me, I am ever-with you. Ask Him for direction. He will reveal the way to me. He will reveal my heart for you. There is never-ending love and acceptance.

“Come on! Let’s return to the Lord! He himself has torn us to pieces, but he will heal us! He has injured us, but he will bandage our wounds! He will restore us in a very short time; he will heal us in a little while, so that we may live in his presence. So let us acknowledge him! Let us seek to acknowledge the Lord! He will come to our rescue as certainly as the appearance of the dawn, as certainly as the winter rain comes, as certainly as the spring rain that waters the land.” Hosea 6:1-3 (NET)

Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Ephesians 3:20 (NLT)

And he set up the courtyard around the tabernacle and the altar, and put the curtain at the gate of the courtyard. So Moses finished the work. Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud settled on it and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. Exodus 40:33-35 (NET) For if what was made ineffective came with glory, how much more has what remains come in glory! 2 Corinthians 3:11 (NET)

Our attitude colour or distort the way we interact with the world around us. It reflects our inner person at that moment. We must learn to become dependent; to have new eyes which can focus upon what God the father values. Even though a very familiar piece of scripture, re-read it slowly and identify which character you are most like.  Do you like the answer? “Now his older son was in the field. As he came and approached the house, he heard music and dancing. So he called one of the slaves and asked what was happening. The slave replied, ‘Your brother has returned, and your father has killed the fattened calf because he got his son back safe and sound.’ But the older son became angry and refused to go in. His father came out and appealed to him, but he answered his father, ‘Look! These many years I have worked like a slave for you, and I never disobeyed your commands. Yet you never gave me even a goat so that I could celebrate with my friends! But when this son of

I do much thinking in my travel time to/from work, as I have about a 35 minute commute. I was asking about he "door" thing, asking for eyes to see what and when I'm to see when I heard God seek to me. I clearly heard him say, Come through the door." Today in church, I was a bit stunned when our pastor was speaking to the congregation. I heard him speak the same words God had spoken to me, "Come through the door". In the next moment I found myself alone outside in a field. It was a clear day and I heard the "whoosh" of doors coming closed behind me, as I'd stepped through some threshold. I felt such a difference, as if some weight had been lifted, the air was now different. It filled me wit a newness of life, and it was as if I was looking far into the distance. The next moment, I found myself back in the church service, but clearer more attached to/by God. At a point in the service, we broke into groups of 2-3 and were to pray for more

The wind blows where it wants to and you hear the sound of it, but you don’t know where the wind comes from or where it is going. It is the same with every person who is born from the Spirit.“ John 3:8 (NCV)

Then the father said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and everything that belongs to me is yours. It was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost and is found.’” Luke 15:31-32 (NET)

Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water." John 4:10 (NKJV)

And this is the confidence that we have before him: that whenever we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in regard to whatever we ask, then we know that we have the requests that we have asked from him. 1 John 5:14-15 (NET)

Open your heart. Make room for me, that I, the king of glory may come in. I am more than the small slices of your current recognition. Allow my fullness to dwell within you. How much more my glorious riches, than the hope of glory you now realize. Open the gates of your life that I may enter. I am more than you have yet imagined. Allow me to prepare you for what is to come. Lift up your heads and gaze onto me. Rise up from your current ways and be confident in my ways. I am the King of Glory. I am calling you unto me. I have prepared the way that you may come unto me. Draw nearer. Do not stop at the base of my mountain. Begin the ascent of my holy hill. Open your heart unto my ways and I will wash away the obstacles which cloud your vision. I will cleanse you. Make room for me in your life, that my fullness may enter your heart. Who is allowed to ascend the mountain of the Lord? Who may go up to his holy dwelling place? The one whose deeds are blameless and whose motives ar

When God saw their actions — they turned from their evil way of living! — God relented concerning the judgment he had threatened them with and he did not destroy them. Jonah 3:10 (NET)

For God did not give us a Spirit of fear but of power and love and self-control. 2 Timothy 1:7 (NET)

What are you waiting for? Have no fear for I have equipped you. My Spirit is directing and encouraging you to step out. Become apart of what I have created for you. The commission is simple: Get Out. In relying upon me you will be more than sufficient. Reach out, believing I am with you. Walk firm in what I have planted within you. Do not allow my seed to go to waste. I have placed no limitation on what I can do through you. Yes, you have my approval. Now step into what I have created for you. Move into the reality of my promises. If there is still any doubt, Yes this word is for you. "Keep asking, and it will be given to you. Keep searching, and you will find. Keep knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who searches finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Matthew 7:7-8 (HCSB)

Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles so that we may be able to comfort those experiencing any trouble with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (NET)

The Lord is close to those who are of a broken heart and saves such as are crushed with sorrow for sin and are humbly and thoroughly penitent. Many evils confront the [consistently] righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all. Psalm 34:18-19 (AMP )

I had been praying in bed one recent night, talking with God when I was next in a twilight sleep. I heard him speak to me, "What do you see?" Instinctively I opened my eyes and said, "The door is open." I felt this flood of peace pass through me and I thanked him. A few days later I asked him again about the open door and it's application when I heard Jesus say. Allow me to be your example, for within me is life. I have successfully traversed from life though death and into life again.  I have gone through the doorway ahead of you. Eternal life is yours. Healing is your inheritance. Come to me and learn rest. My ways have not changed. Take my yoke. Allow me to direct your journey. Allow my spirit to work it's way within you. Learn from me. Let me become your example. All that I have is yours.

The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them. Psalm 34:7 (NIV)

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their cry; the face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth. The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. Psalm 34:15-17 (NIV)

“Don’t let the wise boast in their wisdom, or the powerful boast in their power, or the rich boast in their riches. But those who wish to boast should boast in this alone: that they truly know me and understand that I am the Lord who demonstrates unfailing love and who brings justice and righteousness to the earth, and that I delight in these things. I, the Lord, have spoken! Jeremiah 9:23-24 (NLT)

Even young lions sometimes lack food and are hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. Psalm 34:10 (NET)

On the morning of the third day there were thunders and lightnings and a thick cloud on the mountain and a very loud trumpet blast, so that all the people in the camp trembled. Then Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God, and they took their stand at the foot of the mountain. Now Mount Sinai was wrapped in smoke because the Lord had descended on it in fire. The smoke of it went up like the smoke of a kiln, and the whole mountain trembled greatly. And as the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him in thunder. The Lord came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain. And the Lord called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up. Exodus 19:16-20 (ESV)

Well, never trust your own feelings. They change with the circumstances of life, but God is never-changing. He delights in you. I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed. This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them. Psalm 34:4-7 (ESV) This angel of the Lord can be found throughout scripture. It is a wonderful thing when you are God’s friend.

"The breaker goes up before them; They break out, pass through the gate, and go out by it. So their king goes on before them, And the Lord at their head." Micah 2:13 (NASB77) Look for me. I have gone on before you. Expect to recognize my ways more so in the next two weeks. I will show myself.  Be prepared. Be more active in listening for me. Let thee be an expectation to ask and receive. Enjoy yourself. I am not calling you to dour judgment. Relax in me and see if I will not amaze you. Speak my name aloud, led it be heard in blessing those around you. I am tightening things so you might evaluate your reactions. These next two weeks are important for your growth in kingdom ways. Pass through, as I  have gone before you.

Listen to me, you who know what is right, you people who are aware of my law! Don’t be afraid of the insults of men; don’t be discouraged because of their abuse! Isaiah 51:7 (NET)

Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Jeremiah, what do you see? And I said, I see a branch or shoot of an almond tree [the emblem of alertness and activity, blossoming in late winter]. Then said the Lord to me, You have seen well, for I am alert and active, watching over My word to perform it.     Jeremiah 1:11-12 (AMP)

This is what the Lord says: “Be just and fair to all. Do what is right and good, for I am coming soon to rescue you and to display my righteousness among you. Blessed are all those who are careful to do this. Blessed are those who honor my Sabbath days of rest and keep themselves from doing wrong. Isaiah 56:1-2 (NLT)

“Listen to me, all who hope for deliverance— all who seek the Lord! Consider the rock from which you were cut, the quarry from which you were mined. Yes, think about Abraham, your ancestor, and Sarah, who gave birth to your nation. Abraham was only one man when I called him. But when I blessed him, he became a great nation.”  Isaiah 51:1-2 (NLT)

And God blessed them; and God said to them, " Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth." Genesis 1:28 (NASB) I sent my son that might know me; that you could see my heart. I have not changed. My heart is for you. My heart is for those who do not yet know me. As you grow in us, you will grow in awareness of your authority. Multiple my ways. I have not changed. I AM. My names reveal my heart and aspects of my character. Abiding in me you will be fruitful. My ways will multiply within you. It is then you will sense your purpose. It is then that justice can be administered.  Learn to walk with me; You are blessed.

For the kingdom of God does not consist in words, but in power.   1 Corinthians 4:20 (NASB)

I will make cedars, acacias, myrtles, and olive trees grow in the wilderness; I will make evergreens, firs, and cypresses grow together in the desert. I will do this so people will observe and recognize, so they will pay attention and understand that the Lord’s power has accomplished this, and that the Holy One of Israel has brought it into being.”   Isaiah 41:19-20 (NET)

“ Or what woman, if she has ten silver coins and loses one of them, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search thoroughly until she finds it? Then when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.’   In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”  Luke 15:8-10 (NET)

Again a familiar dream. I see three pennies lying on the road. I know they are for me. They are dirty and one is partially embedded in the warm road tar. I awake, remembering that scene. Again I see the same three pennies, knowing I’d seen them earlier. This time I remember picking them up. :end of dreams

So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. It was so.  God called the expanse "sky." There was evening, and there was morning, a second day. Genesis 1:7-8 (NET) As I walked this morning I could sense movement of God brooding within me. I sensed many human emotions churning openly; most, but not all were covered with an anxiety-like layer. It was most certainly a time of uncertainty. As I pondered what I had experienced two seemingly different verses came to mind. As I read them, the message became clear to me. We often forget the order of God as a creator. As family members his ways are passed along to us. Do not be surprised. I can accomplish much from what you  sense as chaos. Be open to the possibilities set before you. See what I've got to accomplish comes after what you feel as the darkest time. Daylight follows the night sky.     Do not be weary and give up. My light shines brightest in the darkness.  I was

Sing aloud to God our strength; shout for joy to the God of Jacob! Raise a song, sound the timbrel, the sweet lyre with the harp. Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the full moon, on our feast day. For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob. He made it a decree in Joseph, when he went out over the land of Egypt. I hear a voice I had not known: Psalm 81:1-5 (RSV)

For the creation eagerly waits for the revelation of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility — not willingly but because of God who subjected it — in hope that the creation itself will also be set free from the bondage of decay into the glorious freedom of God’s children. For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers together until now. Not only this, but we ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we eagerly await our adoption, the redemption of our bodies. For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope, because who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with endurance. Romans 8:19-25 (NET)

Father, Please send me conversation from you. I can use encouragement that you are directing me.

He draws up drops of water; they distill the rain into its mist, which the clouds pour down and shower on humankind abundantly. Who can understand the spreading of the clouds, the thunderings of his pavilion? See how he scattered his lightning about him; he has covered the depths of the sea. It is by these that he judges the nations and supplies food in abundance. With his hands he covers the lightning, and directs it against its target. His thunder announces the coming storm, the cattle also, concerning the storm’s approach.                        Job 36:27-33 (NET)

‘Call on me in prayer and I will answer you. I will show you great and mysterious things which you still do not know about.’ Jeremiah 33:3 (NET)

‘You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt and how I lifted you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself.                       Exodus 19:4 (NET) Out of Egypt and into the kingdom. Yes, you are my prize. I have taken you out of the worldly darkness and I placed my light within you. I have called you into my ways. You will not be satisfied with the things of your past. I have placed a hunger within you. It is a holy discontent so you might draw closer to me.  It is my will that you mature in the giftings I have placed within you. I am honing you; molding you so you will not crumble under the coming pressures. I have brought you out so they may see my mighty hand of mercy. There is nothing I want more than the maturing of the bride. You are my prize, so do not be surprised at what I shall show you. I need to create trust within you, so you might mover ever-closer to me in all aspects of your life.

[His] brilliance is like light; rays are flashing from His hand. This is where His power is hidden. Habakkuk 3:4 (HCSB)

Question to self - “How am I doing?” Based on the gift they have received, everyone should use it to serve others, as good managers of the varied grace of God. If anyone speaks, [his speech should be] like the oracles of God; if anyone serves, [his service should be] from the strength God provides, so that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To Him belong the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.                      1 Peter 4:10-11 (HCSB)

This is so that God’s multi-faceted wisdom may now be made known through the church to the rulers and authorities in the heavens. This is according to the purpose of the ages, which He made in the Messiah, Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness, access, and confidence through faith in Him. Ephesians 3:10-12 (HCSB)

‘Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.' Isaiah 41:10 (NASB) Look about what I have for you. As far as your eye can see or you might think to imagine. I've given it all to you. I have given you dominion. Do not limit what you think you can do in my kingdom. My grace is upon you. Great grace flows from you to the world around you as you share me. Don't fear what you think others are saying or what you see of your past for I shall surely help you. Take that step. I will direct you into what I have for you.

09/07/09 In my walk I came across a dying squirrel. I would not have noticed it if the dogs had not paused where they did.  I noticed a bad smell and looked about to see the squirrel lying, huddled in a ball. I could see the flies upon it. All the squirrel could do was barely raise its head, and weakly shake the tail to attempt to wave off the flies. I walked away, so the dogs would not want to investigate. My initial thought was how to put the squirrel out of its mercy. I wondered what I might do and asked for God's mercy upon the squirrel. I was struck at the conflicting spheres which still must be within me when the mercy of man related to destruction. It was then I thanked God and prayed for the restoration of the squirrel. The heavens belong to the Lord, but the earth he has given to mankind. Psalm 115:16 (NET) you appoint them to rule over your creation; you have placed everything under their authority, including all the sheep and cattle, as well as the wild animals,

I will certainly gather all of you, O Jacob, I will certainly assemble those Israelites who remain. I will bring them together like sheep in a fold, like a flock in the middle of a pasture; they will be so numerous that they will make a lot of noise. The one who can break through barriers will lead them out they will break out, pass through the gate, and leave. Their king will advance before them, The Lord himself will lead them. Micah 2:12-13 (NET)

In the morning they got up early and went out to the wilderness of Tekoa. As they were about to go out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Hear me, Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem. Believe in the Lord your God, and you will be established; believe in His prophets, and you will succeed.”  2 Chronicles 20:20 (HCSB)

Look, my earlier predictive oracles have come to pass; now I announce new events. Before they begin to occur, I reveal them to you.”  Isaiah 42:9 (NET)

I saw an army of eagles. They were high above, flying in formation. I could see a look of focus and determination in their eyes. At one point a particular eagle pointed out the enemy who was directly beneath them. He vocalized he wished to break formation and attack the enemy. But the leader spoke otherwise. Instead, he took the formation up to a higher plane. He explained it was not their mission to attack, but he did send messengers back with what had been observed.

I gain understanding from your precepts; therefore I hate every wrong path. Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path. Psalm 119:104-105 (NIV)

The highest heavens belong to the Lord, but the earth he has given to man. Psalm 115:16 (NIV)

September is a month of transitions. This year will be no different.. While those of the world see the summer leaving as the beginning of cooler weather and falling leaves. God is saying something different. With which are you in agreement? I heard the father speak of births and flat-bottomed boats. Just as each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of the varied grace of God. 1 Peter 4:10 (NET) This is a season of endings and new beginnings. The month of new births has come upon you. In this ninth month the water shall break and birth will arrive. There are those of you who feel they have go spiritual gift. This is a lie.  Within each of you I have planted what is needed for this time.  You see the deep waters and wonder how you can navigate the rising waves. You measure yourself against others, those sea-going vessels, coming to a wrong conclusion. You will carry my word and healing. I have created you unique. Look and see the small and shallow wa

He is as bright as lightning; a two-pronged lightning bolt flashes from his hand. This is the outward display of his power. Habakkuk 3:4 (NET)

The godly cry out and the Lord hears; he saves them from all their troubles. The Lord is near the brokenhearted; he delivers those who are discouraged. Psalm 34:17-18 (NET)

But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumph, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. 2 Corinthians 2:14 (RSV)

This morning (08/28/09) I am awaken from twilight sleep. I had heard the sound of a dog, trying to get my attention. As I turn I see a dog the same colour and body shape as the one from the original (04/23) dream and experience. The dog is sitting at the back screen-door, as if waiting to be let in. He was ther with aa man (whom I did not clearly see). In actuality we don't have a screen-door; nor did it appear to be our current or past residence. But this dog was wanting in, trying to get my attention.

Do not let truth and mercy leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will find favor and good understanding, in the sight of God and people. Proverbs 3:3-4 (NET)

You are my envoy. I am sending you out into the city as my representative. The calling is simple; heal the sick and feed the poor. As my envoy I have given you access to all that is mine. Reach out to those around you. They are looking for me. Show my compassion. Feed those in need.

And when Jesus saw their faith [their confidence in God through Him], He said to the paralyzed man, Son, your sins are forgiven [you] and put away [that is, the penalty is remitted, the sense of guilt removed, and you are made upright and in right standing with God]. Mark 2:5 (AMP)   For the second day in a row, I’ve found two cents.

Then I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you forever — the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept, because it does not see him or know him. But you know him, because he resides with you and will be in you. “I will not abandon you as orphans, I will come to you. John 14:16-18 (NET)

There are many time we need to hear the words "do not be afraid". We can be caught in the clutches of a stronghold, blinded to the truth. It is the truth which will set us free. We are not to be afraid, but walking in love as salt and light in our darkening world. You are here for his purposes.  He planned you in this time for his reasons. Do not be afraid: You are more valuable than many sparrows ( Matthew 10:31) Get up (Matthew 17:7) Just believe (Mark 5:36) Have courage (Mark 6:50) from now on you will be catching people (Luke 5:10) Just believe and she will be healed (Luke 8:50) Your Father is well pleased to give you the kingdom (Luke 12:32) Speak and do not be silent (Acts 18:9) I am the first and the last (Revelation 1:17) I will give you the crown that is life itself (Revelation 2:10) Do not be afraid to ask for my help. If you stumble, get up and come sit with me. In my presence you can find inner healing and new sight.

Therefore see to it that the light in you is not darkness. If then your whole body is full of light, with no part in the dark, it will be as full of light as when the light of a lamp shines on you.” Luke 11:35-36 (NET)

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy. 1 Corinthians 13:13 - 14:1 (NIV) Follow the way of love. My heart will direct you. Do not suppose to go on your own direction. Remain in me and grow in the gifts I have sown within you. Do not suppose I will not bless others through you. Show love to others, as that is my heart; that none should perish away from me. Demonstrate hope to the hopeless; Speak my words in love. Be strong in me. Darkness is coming. Gross darkness will be upon the peoples. But my light shall be upon you. My glory will cover and protect you. Walk the way of my love and do not suppose I am not directing events. My light is pure and bright. My light burns away the dross and brings healing. My glory has already conquered death.  Yes, my glory is upon you. My glory upon you is for the benefit of others. Do not forget th

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.   1 Corinthians 13:6-7 (NIV)

For the second evening in a row I heard the sound of tree limbs falling. Both times I could hear them break off like a snapping sound and then fall to the ground after tumbling through the branches beneath.

As I sat in church this morning it became apparent that He was dealing with me and eyes/seeing. I sat in a different area of the church today, more centered, but behind the camera man. I kept noticing that his pants were blue and the top, but brown mid-leg down. I noticed too how the monitor gave a different hue of those on the stage. The monitor gave a very crisp and distinct view of those up front, different from what I was visualizing.  I found myself flying as an eagle high in the sky. There was a sudden and rapid descent. It was if I were soaring downward, yet fully in control. Repeatedly I would find myself in the controlled downward dive. As I was pondering what was occurring, I was now aware of looking out from eagle-eyes. I could sense the movement of each muscle as I looked about below me.

For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: 'The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the Lord gives rain on the land.'" 1 Kings 17:14 (NIV)

This is 08/01, The beginning of new things. I was counting the found coins for this past month and examining what God may be saying through them, as a group. There were eleven coins, the number of the prophetic. The odd number, the number which is to express God heart, releasing strength, consolation and encouragement (1 Corinthians 14:3). As I opened my Bible, I read from Paul's introductory remarks to his letters to the friends at Colossae. He is asking, "God to fill you with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you may live worthily of the Lord and please him in all respects - bearing fruit in every good deed, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might for the display of all patience and steadfastness..."(Colossians 1:9-11). Yes, be strengthened in me. Grow in my ways in the likeness of Jesus, my son. In me there is life; energy to go forward in the purposes I have s

Like the microwave oven I sit tucked neatly away in some corner Rectangularly small and pedestrian-white. People come to stand in front of me. They push my buttons. That is the only time I'm heard. The alarm, silence and snapping door closure. Everyone wants to have one to use but few really look inside  to see their help is needed to clean me up. As they age a newer model comes and you are pushed out to the street.

Sometimes I feel I am like our dryer. The clothes tumble round and round in a monotonous hum of hot air cycled through. Emptied out I sit unused until later when new wet clothes invade,

Stop hunting for I have not abandoned you. Take a deep breath and savor the aroma of my presence. I am ever-near you. You were created in my image. You carry my characteristics. Within and throughout you carry my traits. I have clothed you in uniqueness.  My covering lie upon you. Stop hunting for ways to achieve righteousness. I am the way. In me you will find the peace and fulfillment you are seeking. I am truth and I share myself with you. Take and eat without guilt. For you there is no condemnation. You can stop hunting and partake of my love. Share me with others and see what I will do.

Do not think to yourself after the Lord your God has driven them out before you, “Because of my own righteousness the Lord has brought me here to possess this land.” It is because of the wickedness of these nations that the Lord is driving them out ahead of you. Deuteronomy 9:4 (NET )

And it came about when He commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, "Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim," he entered and stood beside a wheel. Then the cherub stretched out his hand from between the cherubim to the fire which was between the cherubim, took some and put it into the hands of the one clothed in linen, who took it and went out. And the cherubim appeared to have the form of a man's hand under their wings. Ezekiel 10:6-8 (NASB)
