So Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh and stretched out his hands to the LORD, and the thunder and the hail ceased, and the rain no longer poured upon the earth. But when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunder had ceased, he sinned yet again and hardened his heart, he and his servants. Exodus 9:33-34 (ESV)

I tell you that on the day of judgment, people will give an account for every worthless word they speak. For by your words you will be justified and by your words you will be condemned." Matthew 12:36-37 (NET)

Then Deborah said to Barak, "Go! This is the day the LORD has given Sisera into your hands. Has not the LORD gone ahead of you?" So Barak went down Mount Tabor, followed by ten thousand men. Judges 4:14 (NIV) Do not be still when I am moving; Be ready. I will give you the victory.  I have gone ahead of you. Follow me and I will show you things you have yet to see. My power and authority will flow through you. Reach forth with your heart, that my love can be shown to the world.  You will bring healing, most often when not expected. I am all you need, so rely upon me and my ways. I am on the move and will provide the victory.

But if you rebel against the LORD’s commands and refuse to listen to him, then his hand will be as heavy upon you as it was upon your ancestors. “Now stand here and see the great thing the LORD is about to do. You know that it does not rain at this time of the year during the wheat harvest. I will ask the LORD to send thunder and rain today. Then you will realize how wicked you have been in asking the LORD for a king!” So Samuel called to the LORD, and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day. And all the people were terrified of the LORD and of Samuel.  1 Samuel 12:15-18 (NLT)

So I tell you: Live by following the Spirit. Then you will not do what your sinful selves want. Our sinful selves want what is against the Spirit, and the Spirit wants what is against our sinful selves. The two are against each other, so you cannot do just what you please. But if the Spirit is leading you, you are not under the law. Galatians 5:16-18 (NCV)

In my twilight sleep of 04/10 I saw someone reach to the base of the tree in my front yard. They were trying to take the keys. The hand held a small wire-type device which was to sneak away the keys. I was able to reach out and stop them and took the keys myself. Sometimes we have what we need and don't recognize it until it is pointed out to us. At the base of the tree are the keys of life. They can be within our reach, but if we are not diligent, we may let someone or something steal them from right before us. Confront the enemy. Take care of what He's given you into your hands. Hold tight to the keys of life.

Joshua was near Jericho when he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a sword in his hand. Joshua went to him and asked, “Are you a friend or an enemy?“  The man answered, “I am neither. I have come as the commander of the LORD’S army.“ Then Joshua bowed facedown on the ground and asked, “Does my master have a command for me, his servant?“ Joshua 5:13-14a (NCV)

There are many other things that Jesus did. If every one of them were written down, I suppose the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written. John 21:25 (NET) I have shown myself to you so you would know me. For in me you will find life; without me there is darkness and death. You no longer need to feel insecure; stand firm in me. Let the world see what I can do for them. You are my light in this hour. Feed upon my word, therein is life and direction.

Who would have believed what we just heard? When was the LORD’s power revealed through him? He sprouted up like a twig before God, like a root out of parched soil; he had no stately form or majesty that might catch our attention, no special appearance that we should want to follow him. He was despised and rejected by people, one who experienced pain and was acquainted with illness; people hid their faces from him; he was despised, and we considered him insignificant. But he lifted up our illnesses, he carried our pain; even though we thought he was being punished, attacked by God, and afflicted for something he had done. He was wounded because of our rebellious deeds, crushed because of our sins; he endured punishment that made us well; because of his wounds we have been healed. Isaiah 53:1-5 (NET)

Jesus replied, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. John 12:23-24 (NIV)

On the last and most important day of the festival, Jesus was standing {in the temple courtyard}. He said loudly, “Whoever is thirsty must come to me to drink. As Scripture says, ‘Streams of living water will flow from deep within the person who believes in me.'” Jesus said this about the Spirit, whom his believers would receive. The Spirit was not yet evident, as it would be after Jesus had been glorified. John 7:37-39 (GW)

I can guarantee this truth: Those who listen to what I say and believe in the one who sent me will have eternal life. They won't be judged because they have already passed from death to life. John 5:24 (GW)

There are those of you who are allowing feelings dictate your relationship with Father. You feel second class because your healing has not yet arrived. For some of you it is a physical ailment. You’ve asked many times for a healing and yet it has not yet been made manifest. For others it is an emotional attachment to someone or something from your past. You want to cut the tie, but feel that it seems to resurface just when you thought it was over. You then tumble back into an almost depressive state. It is time to stop empowering the enemy.  Do not listen to the lies of the one who comes to kill and destroy.  What have I told you?  I have declared my love for you. My thoughts have not changed. Brush off the lying spirit. Sweep his evil/deadly words to the floor and stomp on them. Look to me for your strength. Speak my words aloud so your ears may hear them.  I will bring wholeness into your life. You will manifest my presence for those yet trapped in darkness.  Reach out to th
