solace in troubled times

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)

the fragrance of the knowledge

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)

the dog is back

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.

write them on your heart

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)

my envoy

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.

two cents

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.

within and upon

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)

Do not be afraid

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.

how’s your light?

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)

do not suppose

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

weigh yourself

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)

the sound of tree limbs falling

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.

a different point of view

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.

Fear not

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)

being strengthened

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
