Mankind since the beginning of the fall in Genesis wanted to be like God. This is nothing new throughout the ages. Satan's fall from the great heavens was due to his desire to be like God and even above God. So it should not surprise us in this fallen world man continues that journey. 

Recently a research team did a survey and found that 25% of young adults in the U.K. would date a robot. Robots are the up and coming digital age generation. Scientists are working to make robots learn on their own; to have a human appearance, and even have their own personalities. China scientists have presented a strikingly human appearing woman, Jia Jia, and one of her nicknames is 'robot goddess'. They have accomplished facial expressions, and autonomous movement, and are working towards helping Jia Jia to laugh, and to cry. She addresses her 'creator' when he greets her with, "Yes, my lord, what can I do for you?"

This is just one of the many robots being created to become functional in our everyday lives. They have developed robots to become part of the workforce, and promote them as they never tire, they can work 24 hours a day, and they do not complain. the perfect employee!

Radical changes are coming to our way of life. Trans-humanism is unfolding before us at a rapid rate. The elites are in the process of creating what they believe to be, 'superior humans'. They are working on immortality. If they can take the human part of them and put it in a robot's body that can be repaired, and updated as science advances, then they could potentially live as long as this earth is continuing, and even go beyond this world to the new space age.

 The problem with their plan to be godlike is God. He is the Creator of all things, and He gives life and takes life. He put the body, soul and spirit together to make us one.  

Colossians 1:16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

This is talking about Jesus Christ. It is through HIM!

19 For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, 20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.

We can never attain the position of a god. On this earth and everything that is seen, and unseen was created by the one true God, and He gives His glory to no one!

As man tries to obtain their version of utopia, we as Christians must remember God is in control. He places kings on their thrones, and He removes kings from their thrones. Their small attempts to be godlike are going to fail them. The life of every human on this planet has his days numbered by God the Father in Heaven and the Creator of all mankind.

If you do not know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, I encourage you today to reach out to the one who holds this world in His hands, and will give you the eternal life your soul longs for.

Experts gathered in Nevada to meet in reference to the massive earthquakes that happened in Ecuador and Japan. There is a major earthquake overdue at the California-Nevada line and concerns are heightened. They are again warning households to have months of food and water stored up in their homes.  Remember stores are sold out within an hour of a disaster. 

Please pray for these countries that our suffering in these disastrous times. Ecuador is in disarray with the loss of life, the injured, collapse of many buildings and the looting happening. There are food and water shortages  for those in the areas affected.  

Jesus warned us in scripture what we would see as the end-times approach.
 
Luke 21:7 So they asked Him, saying, “Teacher, but when will these things be? And what sign will there be when these things are about to take place?”...... 9. But when you hear of wars and commotions, do not be terrified; for these things must come to pass first, but the end will not come immediately.”10. Then He said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven." 

Jesus warns us as to prepare us and to not live in fear, but to pray and hear from the Holy Spirit as He guides us through these storms. These things must take place and also will come more and more frequently. The bible talks of these things as labor pains. Labor begins with contractions far apart, and as the delivery time gets closer so does the labor pains. 

We as Christians want to be prepared and ready to help others. Talk with your families and encourage them to stock up on enough food and water to make it  in their homes if disaster would hit for at least 30 days. The experts recommend months at this time. Remember once disaster hits, if it is in your area, it's too late to warn them.

We as Christians should be a step ahead of the events happening around us, because we are listening to our Father in heaven, as He guides us through the Holy Spirit. 

I want to pray for you today that no fear will come upon you. That you will be prepared in these uncertain times. That ears will open to hear what you are saying in these warnings to families and friends. I pray that your ears will be open to hear from the Holy Spirit as He directs you and helps you in these troubling times. I pray your unsaved loved ones will be open to the gospel as never before, and you will be ready to share the Good News of salvation.  Amen

Panic is not the answer, but being prepared is. We may not know every detail about what is to come, but we can see the signs of the times that the Lord warned us of, and take action. We can do our part! Then we leave the rest to our Heavenly Father to take care of us.

Go to a disaster prepared site to get a list of the items you might need to have in case of an emergency. They are online and easy to connect with. 

Let's do our part!

Today reading the news it appears that these times are in such a confused state that we do not know what we are doing. What used to be very clear is now very cloudy and difficult to see. Target has come to the conclusion that it needs to open its bathrooms to a "non-gender" population, and disregard the concerns of parents, men, and women about this change in their policies. 

I was thrilled to see a boycott taking place with over 500,000 signatures and growing quickly. American Family Association has a petition to sign, and I encourage you today to go to that site and sign it at , www.afa.net. These times of blurring the lines of moral and immoral behavior must be stopped; especially when it endangers our children. Christian or not this is not right as a society! 

It is time for us to speak out. Boycott what is happening in our nation that is tearing us apart. Sign petitions, and do what we can to stop this nonsense. How do we stand before our Maker one day and say we did nothing to prevent, or even slow down this rapidly declining of moral and family values that our Creator put in place. We have become complacent in the fight, and are losing ground rapidly while a small percent of those that would stand, and fight against us are winning the battle while we are unaware of what this nation is doing. Laws are being changed and government is rapidly removing our Christian values from this country. We can no longer sit at the sidelines and hope someone else will stand and fight for us. 

This is the hour to rise up with one voice and stop the madness. 

Romans 1
21 Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. 22 Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools. 23 And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles.
24 So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other’s bodies. 25 They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen. [NLT]

Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. Matthew 7:13, 14

Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able.
Luke 13:24

As Christians we will find in life many difficult decision we must make to honor our Father in heaven. The Lord watches and searches for those who are loyal to Him even with very difficult decisions. He knows we could have stepped away many times, but chose the right path.

 For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. 2 Chronicles 16:9

I want to honor my Father in heaven, and let Him use me to show Himself strong!
 
​The easy road is so tempting, but often is not the right road. We must choose which road we will travel. It will usually come with what is easy, and many times right in the eyes of man, or what may be difficult, but right in the eyes of the Father.  He wants your loyalty.

​Sherry Gorslin

Proverbs 18:10-12 [NLT]
10 The name of the Lord is a strong fortress;
    the godly run to him and are safe.
11 The rich think of their wealth as a strong defense;
    they imagine it to be a high wall of safety.
12 Haughtiness goes before destruction;
    humility precedes honor.

Have you ever felt like the Lord’s hand was removed from your life? I have and when I looked at my life I thought how I must look to others as being cursed instead of blessed by my God. Everything that could be shaken was shaking and I was holding on for dear life.

These are the times when you walk in faith and obedience only. There is no evidence of blessing there to see. There are no God bumps confirming His presence. There is just you and what you have been preaching, teaching or guiding others in. This is a time of testing and trials and this will show what you are made out of.

Submission unto the Spirit must be given by you at all times, whether you feel like it or not. Satan strokes your flesh. He sends people in your path at your lowest points, and your highest points, to get you to step into pride, and self, instead of submission and humbleness. Your choices matter in your wilderness experiences, and your mountain top experiences. Choose wisely the road you will travel destruction, or honor.

If you have not been to our worship or sermon page lately I invite you to see the updated posts. We have begun to put sermons and worship services up, and would love for you to listen, and pray you will be blessed!

I am going to continue today where we left off yesterday with my word from the Lord.

My word continued: Are you ready? The dress was on; the shoes were there, but you only had one on. 

The Lord is referring to a dream He had given me on April 14, 2016. This was just 4 days earlier.

Dream: I am at a large gathering and everyone is watching singers perform on a stage. I am one of the performers, and I am waiting for my turn. I remember practicing to be really prepared. I do not feel I am very good though. I feel like I sing with everything I have, but it is not good enough. I am wearing a long bright yellow dress. I am putting on my high heels that are also bright yellow. I hear what I think is the show closing. Rich, my husband, and Debbie, my sister, and some of my grandchildren are with me. I said, "I think they missed me!" The man then came over that was in charge of the show, and Rich questioned him about forgetting me. The man replied, "No, this is just intermission, and we have another half." Rich said, "The show is going well. Everyone is doing really good." The man said, "Yes, but do you know what I miss? I miss the anointing." I thought, "I have the anointing! When I get up to perform I need to be sure and have the anointing." I am putting on one yellow high heel, and looking for the other one. I'm trying to remember my words to the song I will be singing, and I feel an urgency to go get the paper I wrote them on and go back over the words, as to be sure not to forget when I get on stage, but I cannot find my other shoe. I woke up. 

This part of the dream shows I am still trying to get ready for the first part of the word He gave me. When disaster comes and He informs me, am I ready? Prison doors will open and this will be a great harvest, yet I am still looking for my shoe. 

My word continued: Prepare to speak in this hour of disaster. For I have called you and I will equip you. It is Me that will give you what to say. This is an hour like no other. Preparation must take place. Desperation is a reason to look for answers when lies are uncovered. This is an opportunity for you to speak truth. No man can stop this. No country can intervene. It is the prophecy of My words that must come to pass. When you see these things come to pass remember great is your God, and greatly to be praised. 

I have had dreams of being barefooted and dressed inappropriately before, so I will take this as to say I am getting closer, Praise the Lord!! The Lord must continually remind us that it is by His anointing that we are chosen, and the Holy Spirit gives us what we need, when we need it. I am responsible to be ready by reading His word, praying, and seeking His face, and His will. 

"When lies are uncovered," I believe the Lord is going to lay open the deception that is taking place in this country and around the world, even more than He has already. When people begin to see these lies, and their foundation of a false peace and hope are revealed, they will be looking for truth. I want to be in that army of God fighting for truth!!

I pray you will join me in the battle! Let's get dressed and have our shoes on, ready to go!

Yesterday morning I was praying and the Holy Spirit came on me so strong, It was as though it consumed me. I then received a vision and the Lord gave me this word. I would like to share a part of this with you.
 
Vision: A huge mushroom cloud.
I saw a huge cloud like a nuclear bomb went off. In dreams and visions this could mean sudden disaster. I'm not sure if the Lord was showing me a literal bomb would hit, or warning of a sudden destructive event. I'm still in prayer about this.  
 
As the Holy Spirit lifted I went back to my desk and the Lord began to speak to me.

My word: You asked to know what lies ahead. You asked to know before it happens. I give you a vision today of tomorrow. The bomb will hit; the chaos will begin, and the disaster will be the road to salvation for many. I told you to be ready. I told you disaster would bring them. It is here in this uncertain time that eyes will begin to open and prison doors will begin to be open for release of the prisoners of darkness to have one more opportunity to choose eternal life with Me.

On 6/30/15 the Lord gave me a word that I named "Breakout". This is what I knew the Lord was referring to at the time He was speaking to me. 

My Word 6/30/15
 
When the waves seen so high you cannot see the shore I am with you. I will be the footing that you stand on. I will be the foundation that even when there is no ground to touch in deep water you can stand on Me. I am here for my people. Many mourn today and many are cheering evil. But I say to you my child, keep joy and love in your heart and continue on. Do not let the weight of this world weigh you down. I will carry that load. You persevere and move forward. I am here with you and the time is coming, there will be a great breakout for all to see.
 
I asked, "What does “Breakout” mean?"
 
As a prisoner breaks out of prison and smells the air of freedom so will this world. Many will walk back into that prison by choice, but freedom will be offered to all. Look for the breakout, that moment where they have to decide whom they will serve. So many are comfortable in their prison cells. They will return to what they know, but also many will love the fragrance of freedom and run to the Freedom Giver. True freedom, true joy, true fulfillment, is what I offer them. Watch for the breakouts and speak to those for they are the ones that will choose in a moment of time. Some will never even leave their prison cell with all the doors wide open. They choose to stay and these we weep for and move on. 

Sudden disaster will send a nation that is looking for truth among all the lies they have been told by the great deceiver, to search out truth. It is true for so many Christians that it was a time of desperation that we cried out to the Lord and He answered! That is what drew us to our Savior. He gave us answers and life changing words to guide us out of the prison cells so many of us built around ourselves. 

If a disaster happened close to you would you be ready to share the gospel with those searching out help? Could you offer a cup of water to the thirsty, and a meal to the hungry?

There are three necessities in life that must be met before anything else to survive. We must have air to breathe, water to drink and food to eat. A general rule of threes for survival is that to stay alive you must:

• Breathe air within three minutes
• Drink water within three days
• Eat food within three weeks

I remember years ago I went to give a class on the dangers of sex outside of marriage to a group of teenagers who were homeless, and this organization, this safe haven, would be open for them to have a place to eat and sleep in the daytime. At night these young people would hit the streets for their drugs, and many of them prostituting themselves for the money to meet this need.  

This organization asked if I would come in and speak to them, which I did. As I started the presentation, the supervisor for that day told them they would not get any food until after the class, and they had to stay awake and listen. 

These teens were exhausted and hungry. I marveled though at how they really did try their best to listen and participate. They were hungry for truth also, but trapped in their prisons. Many of them from abusive homes running form something to a life on the streets. 

I left there heartbroken by their stories of pain. I talked with the director and informed them they must be able to have the necessities of life to be  able to hear what I was saying. I did return several times after, but to the second phase of this program. In the second phase those that truly wanted off the streets, and to learn to live a daily "normal" life, were put into a apartment complex to get counseling and classes. There these kids did great in participating and thinking about what I was saying. I really enjoyed going and presenting there. 

We have to be able to give clean air, water and food to those who truly need it, before we can ever expect them to hear the gospel. 

Psalm 82 [NLT]
3 “Give justice to the poor and the orphan;
    uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute.
4 Rescue the poor and helpless;
    deliver them from the grasp of evil people.
5 But these oppressors know nothing;
    they are so ignorant!
They wander about in darkness,
    while the whole world is shaken to the core.

I will continue tomorrow with another part of this word. Today I would like to pray the Lord help us to be there at the time of this great breakout, and be ready to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with those who will listen. 

Lord help us to be prepared and ready for whatever comes in the future to share the Good News of You to others. Work on us Lord , so you can work through us! Holy Spirit guide us and direct us to what, when and how we need to prepare. Each one of us will have a different part in your kingdom. Direct each individual to where You desire them to be that outstretched hand of compassion. Amen

Be a blessing to someone today, for we do not know what comes tomorrow.

As we see microchips begin to be placed in humans in the news, and all the technology that is being used in this world to know everything about us,  it can get confusing about what is the mark of the beast and what is not. 

I remember the first time I saw an advertisement for a chip to be placed in dogs years ago, so they could be found and placed back with their families if lost. I immediately thought how this sounds good and will do a lot of good, but I could also see how this could lead to humans, and continue on to the mark of the beast. It wouldn't be long and we would hear of talk about putting chips in our babies at birth and how this could prevent abductions. Sounds so easy and helpful. 

I can also remember when they had a big news story where the first family would be chipped for medical purposes. The family, the medical staff, and the news reporter were all very excited. The chip now can be placed in humans to give medical information to hospitals on the arrival of a person that may be unable to tell them their medications they take and allergies. Sounds so wonderful! 

The economy around the world is in trouble. As looking to a one world government, and a cashless society, we see it beginning with solutions that sound good. If we are not carrying cash, we are less likely to be robbed. If we are not carrying cards, we are not going to lose them and they cannot be stolen. 

Walking into the store today and swiping our cards is so convenient. We rarely have cash anymore. Now we can hold our phones up to the checkout indicator and we do not have to even take our cards out. Most all of us seem to have a phone in hand at all times anyway.  

Revelation 13:3b All of the world marveled and followed the beast.

When I am training someone to perform ultrasounds I know they must repetitively do scans to know what is normal, and in that they can pick up abnormal very quickly to refer for immediate care. The same is true in understanding what the bible says. If we are regularly studying the scriptures we can see truth much quicker from deceit. 

The world will be amazed at what the anti-Christ is able to accomplish. The dragon [Satan] comes as a angel of light. He gives the beast authority and power to perform amazing things. In a world of trouble and chaos he will give false hope and peace.  He will not be the true Christ or savior.

We know that Christ will come back from the way He ascended, because the bible tells us what to look for in His return.
Acts 1:9-11 Jesus Ascends to Heaven
Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”

We know Christ's return will be as He left. He ascended up into the heavens and He will return descending from the heavens.

'The Lord tells us in Scripture that there is going to be tribulations. 

Matthew 24:21-25
For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.“Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you beforehand.
 
"I have told you beforehand." He tells us of things to come, and what to watch for if we are looking to HIm for answers and not the world; if we are seeking HIm, and reading His holy Scriptures we will not be deceived.

This will not be easy! "For the elect sake those days will be shortened......false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible even the elect."

We cannot be deceived! We must understand the signs and the times, and be watching for those things that claim hope and peace but lead to destruction. 

Revelation 13:16-18He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.

When we are on the road to where we cannot buy without a mark, or chip or whatever they use in our hands, or foreheads, it is time to wake-up!

Wake-up Christians and see the handwriting on the wall. 

Do you know Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord? Do you know what the bible says? It is never too late to wake-up, and see that deception is at each one of our doors knocking to come in, and it looks GOOD!

I can remember twice in the last few years the Lord has given me a taste of what heaven will be like. My first was in a dream:

8/1/14 Choir of Angels
 
My family and church were walking across this huge long field. We seemed to be on this school/college campus; maybe the football field area. Some type of big event was taking place and we were all excited to be there; although some were leaving. I didn’t understand why they would be leaving such a great event. I even asked some people why they were leaving. They gave me some excuse and left. I was sad they were leaving, but excited to keep going. We were heading to this big building. I felt like the event was going to happen at that building. As we were walking there was a group of young girls walking with us. They started singing and it was beautiful! They had such awesome harmony. They stopped and I said amazed, "That was beautiful," to a woman walking beside me. As we approached the building the girls began to sing again and I was just really enjoying the singing when it got louder and louder, and more and more beautiful. It filled the air. It was in perfect harmony. I thought these girls are amazing and then we came around a set of bleachers and down from the sky came a huge group of angels with wings, and they were flying down just above us, and I saw that they were singing also. It was like a performance for all of us to see. There were people already in the bleachers. What I thought was awesome harmony from the young girls was nothing compared to those angel singing.  
 
It was amazing and such a perfect sound of music. 

I knew when I awoke that the Lord gave me a taste of how we on earth cannot even begin to understand perfection in this fallen world. As beautiful as those young ladies sounded heavens voices were indescribable! 

The second taste of heaven was when I was asleep yet awake. 

​Dream 3-30-15
Aroma of Heaven
 
As I dozed off after my alarm went off I began to smell a beautiful aroma. Like a field of flowers of every kind and I was in the middle of it. I heard a voice say, “Do you smell it?” My eyes popped open immediately and I got up. It was a male voice, and when I woke up I smiled and thanked the Lord, because again I knew He gave me just a taste of heaven. 

Every time I listen to someone that has had an encounter of some kind with heaven they can never find the words to describe its beauty. I too cannot begin to describe with the English language that I know how magnificent the sound and smell of heaven are. 

Heaven, what a wonderful place.

​Have you had an encounter with heaven? Have you tried to write it down with the limited words that we have? I would love to hear from you!

Be blessed today!

On February 13, 2008 , my late husband, Jim, went home to be with the Lord. After a month of fighting the battle for his life after a car accident, he was looking forward to coming home. That afternoon he began to have chest pain and after an EKG they realized he was having a heat attack. While we were preparing to rush him to the cardiac floor his heart stopped beating.  They worked on him for quite sometime, but I knew in my heart he was gone. I felt his presence leave this world. As I stood out in the hall of his room, suddenly I felt a rush of wind flow right through me and shoot upward. I immediately yelled out “Good-bye Jimbo, I love you.” Thirty-two years of my life and suddenly I knew everything was about to change.

Leaving the hospital was difficult. We stayed for hours saying our good byes. I called the children as soon as we were told about the heart attack. They came as fast as they could, but they did not arrive in time. I’ll never forget those minutes of seeing them work on Jim trying to revive him, feeling I could not leave him, but I knew our children would be getting off that elevator any time, and I did not want them to come back not knowing that his heart had stopped beating.  
 
We were always so proud of our children. My son arrived first. What an awesome man he is. I saw him walking up the hallway, and I met him and informed him that they were working on his dad, but it did not look good. He raced to the door of the room, and watched as they tried to save his dad. I just looked at him and hurt for him as he watched. I could not help but to think what a fine man we raised. His beautiful wife was expecting their first baby boy in May. He was a good, caring husband and I knew he would be a wonderful, caring father.

The doctor came out to speak with me, and I asked him if he was calling the code, and he said yes. They did everything they could think of and he just was not responding. I walked up the hallway to the elevators waiting for our girls. No matter how old they were they were still daddy’s baby girls. They loved their father. Angi being a single mom depended so much on her dad to step in and take the role of father and husband as her needs arose, which he gladly did. Many times he stepped in as her provider when her bills were unpaid and no money coming in. He would get things fixed around her house as they needed, and he took care of her car maintenance, what would she do now? Erika just turning 15 in January waiting to get her driving permit so her dad could teach her to drive.  What would they do now without their father? He loved them so much and they loved him.

Mckenzie and Caleb, our grand-kids were so attached to their papa. They spent so much time with us and now they would grow up without him.  All these things were racing through my mind. Finally here came the girls off the elevator. I just started crying when I looked at them, and said I’m sorry dad didn’t make it. We all just hugged each other and cried.
 
I arrived at home and could not sleep. In the early morning hours I entered my prayer room. As I prayed the Lord spoke to me. He was with me and I knew it. I felt Him as if I could touch Him. He surrounded me with His peace and love. I knew everything was going to be alright. He spoke this word to me.

(2/14/08 @ 2:45am)
 
My word from the Lord: In your hour of grief, I am with you. You feel My peace and My rest. You understand much more today than you did yesterday. And tomorrow you will understand more than today. I am your husband now. My hand is upon you. Your earthly husband is with Me walking in the heavenlies and tasting of its goodness. He is talking and learning and growing in Me already. He is happy and joyful and has total peace, which the world cannot understand. All has come to meet him, and he shares of all the stories of the heavenly place where you long to be. Love has consumed him, and joy has over taken him, and now he is mine for all eternity. No more worry for him. Imagine one day you will meet us in the air; all of heaven is watching and waiting for the call, the trumpet to sound, the sky to open and the children to enter into the bosom of their Father. Heaven, what a wonderful place, it is glorious, colorful, pleasure that nothing on earth can compare. No regrets; don’t look back, look forward, separation is only temporary, and heaven is eternal. He is waiting for you on the other side.

I felt such peace in my heartache. Heaven, what a wonderful place.

My life has gone on and I have a wonderful, God loving, family loving husband now. My children are all grown up and doing well. The Lord has given them a wonderful step-father, and although they miss their dad so much they know the Lord has blessed them with a step-father that cares very much for them, and my grandchildren, we have a lot more of them,  all love their papa. I felt the Lord wanted me to share this today for someone that maybe has a loss in their life and it feels like a heartache that will consume them. I pray His words to me will comfort you in this time of great sorrow. 

 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
Psalm 23:4

My word from the Lord: The wonders of the King are only manifested in a small way now, but what is coming is radical, life shaking, and life changing, in an instant; in an instant change will take place. Eyes open and ears to hear for this last calling out. Go with Me there; see the glory of an awesome God; watch the wonders that will take place; see the glory fill the house. Great is your God and greatly to be praised.
 
My thoughts:
I get discouraged so many times because I see a world falling into deception, and many of our future generation engulfed with lust and perversions. Mind altering substances appear to be taking over so many today it is frightening to think about what our families, children and grandchildren will face, and have faced. Some of my loved ones are caught in these deceptions, and it breaks my heart. I know each one of you have someone that you fear for in these days also.  

I love when the Lord speaks and brings me comfort in these difficult days. He reminds Me of how big He is; how powerful, and my hope and peace should be in knowing He is bigger than any battle I face! I have to keep my eyes on Jesus every moment of every day, or I could so easily become consumed with fear. Looking at the future is troubling for us when we think about tomorrow, and what may come. I encourage you today to go look for Him, and see His wonders, and watch for His glory. Fear will vanish and an army will arise from His people. 

Matthew 6:31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Fear be gone in the name of Jesus! The name above all names.

Great is our God and greatly to be praised!!!!!!

Dream 3/31/15
Going to Heaven
 
I was with my mother, sister and a few other family members, and we are at a yard sale in the front of a house. Everyone is just looking and buying a few things. I really wasn't finding anything that caught my eye. Everyone else appeared the same as myself not really interested in much.
 
Scene 2: Now we are in a house. It is time to go to heaven. There is a man there and we are supposed to follow him because he’s taking us to the place where we will be taken up to heaven. Everyone is very excited. We follow him out of the house and across the yard. My sister, Debbie is racing with excitement. I think, I’m so excited I get to see Jesus. As we all are crossing the yard it appeared as it was like a work zone. Like a mechanic’s yard with multiple vehicles and people working on the broken down cars and trucks. I see a tow truck also, and we have to go around it. In front of the tow truck I see a woman talking to a man, and I knew that they were not going to heaven. I over heard the woman say to this man, “Oh he committed suicide.” As they were talking I knew it was true and that many were committing suicide. I kept going and although this made me sad in a way I was still very excited about going to heaven. We all had to climb over a low brick fence about waist high to get to the next area and this is where we would meet to be taken to heaven. I woke up.

My Thoughts: Selling and buying can represent soul-winning and redemption. Vehicles usually represent ministries. Broken down vehicles are ministries needing repairs. A tow truck would be helping those broken down get to a repair shop. The tow truck was unfortunately parked right there among the broken down vehicles. Suicide is, oppression/depression, hopelessness and wanting to give up. 

Are we so busy thinking about going to heaven, that we walk right through the broken, and those in need of repair on our way to heaven? Many ministries are hurting right now, and the people in them are hurting. I'm excited to see Jesus and go to heaven, but there is much work to be done.

Sisters and mothers in dreams many times represent, "The Church." As individuals in the church we can easily find ourselves not interested in very much going on in the different ministries. Without support and encouragement ministries can become broken. Ministries can also forget the very reason they are in ministry!

My message yesterday was titled, "I Heard He Was in the House!" 

In Mark 2:1,2 it reads, And again He entered Capernaum after some days, and it was heard that He was in the house. 2 Immediately many gathered together, so that there was no longer room to receive them, not even near the door. And He preached the word to them. 

Jesus tells Simon and Andrew in the first chapter of Mark:  “Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” [NKJV] and in the New Living Translation it stated as,  Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people." Mark 1:17  

I believe Jesus's number one priority was to preach salvation, and show us how to become fishers of mankind. When others see that Jesus is truly in the house, rooms will not hold the masses. I know we all get busy in "ministry." We can easily lose our way as we prepare and look forward to going to heaven, and seeing Jesus, but I don't want to walk past the broken down ministries and the lost on my way. 

Look at someone today through the eyes of the Holy Spirit that lives in you, and see them as Christ sees them. It changes ministries, and it changes us!

Is Jesus in the house in your life and in your ministry?

Acts 19:13 [NLT] A group of Jews was traveling from town to town casting out evil spirits. They tried to use the name of the Lord Jesus in their incantation, saying, “I command you in the name of Jesus, whom Paul preaches, to come out!” 14 Seven sons of Sceva, a leading priest, were doing this.15 But one time when they tried it, the evil spirit replied, “I know Jesus, and I know Paul, but who are you?” 16 Then the man with the evil spirit leaped on them, overpowered them, and attacked them with such violence that they fled from the house, naked and battered.
17 The story of what happened spread quickly all through Ephesus, to Jews and Greeks alike. A solemn fear descended on the city, and the name of the Lord Jesus was greatly honored. 18 Many who became believers confessed their sinful practices. 19 A number of them who had been practicing sorcery brought their incantation books and burned them at a public bonfire. The value of the books was several million dollars. 20 So the message about the Lord spread widely and had a powerful effect.

One night as the team was praying before going out to the streets we came together for prayer as usual to pray about that nights encounters. We are always praying for those divine appointments each time we go out to the streets. We left there with the confidence that the Lord was going to do something that night.

We had made several stops prayed for a few people when we came across a man standing by the side of the road as our van approached he began to act wildly. He was ripping his shirt open and yelling at us as we drove by. We thought he was just a man that was crazy, drugged out, etc. We hesitated if we should even stop to talk with him. Many times as you find those on the streets they have no comprehension that you’re even there. They’re far into their own world of delusions and hallucinations from the drugs recently taken.

We decided to stop we pulled over and a few of us got out of the van. Dustin approached him first informing him who we were, and that we would like to pray for him. Another man in our group walked up to him and began speaking to him, my husband, and then myself walked up behind them and as we approached him I immediately knew he was possessed. I just began rebuking the demonic, the darkness, the principalities and the powers of evil in this man’s life. We all began praying deliverance over him and taking authority.

I’ll never be able to describe what we saw in this man. His face distorted, his voice would change. His eyes were so full of evil so dark. His face would get an appearance of Satan himself looking at us. He began slithering like a snake and we kept praying and rebuking. When he saw that we were not intimidated by his evilness he walked away. My husband said let’s go and the men began to walk away. But I knew we were to stand our ground. I felt the Spirit tell me don’t move I stood there. We have been in that place before as a team, and they knew we were to stand our ground when they saw that I would not move.

We stood there as he returned and began to speak in a unknown tongue. He raised his hands as if in worship, fell to the ground on his knees and yelled out, I am the general!" over and over again he would say, "I am the general!"

He then got up and was looking right at me and and he came very close, and I just kept praying and commanding that he could not touch me. He slithered around on the ground behind me and I just kept confessing that he could not touch me. My husband is standing close, and getting ready to stop him if he touched me. He then suddenly stood and started walking towards our van. He was ranting, and tearing his clothes off. My husband just rose up and started rebuking the demon, and as he did this man took off, and dropped his hat and glasses in the middle of the road, and just took off running into the darkness. 

My husband would tell us as we gathered together to pray, that he knew one thing about this encounter with the demonic; he was not going to be the one running away naked!

I think of this poor man often and pray for him. unfortunately on the streets the demon filled person can often just run away. They will take off even as we approach, and be yelling at us not to come near,  and not to touch them. They will just run from us. 

We have the authority to cast out demons, and to see the things they saw in the days of the Apostles and even Jesus Himself do. I pray today for a greater faith to even walk in a room where a demon is, and they must manifest, and be cast out by the authority given to us as followers of Jesus. We have seen multiple deliverance's in our group, but one day I desire to see 100% deliverance by those that are the called in these last days with every encounter of darkness. 

I want to see those prisoners of darkness burn their books of incantations and anything else they use for Satan's cause. To lift their hands to the Most High God and exalt Jesus Christ of Nazareth in worship and praise! Hallelujah!!

I pray you be covered by the blood of Jesus as you go out today, and everyday, and encounter darkness even unaware.

As I read this word from 2007 I realized how relevant it was still today. I believe this is an hour of great revelation. The Lord is doing a new thing in the land that may look different today than in 2007, but the message is the same. We must turn to Him in our calamity. If you are living in adversity in your life, and feel overwhelmed by it know He is with you and will bring you through it if you keep your eyes upon HIm!

He sent from above, He took me; He drew me out of many waters. He delivered me from my strong enemy. From those who hated me. They confronted me, in the day of my calamity, but the Lord was my support.
Psalm 18:16-18

A word from the Lord on 11/4/07: You will begin to see visions and dreams. This is an hour of great revelation. I have chosen you for this and much more. Write down the things that you see and watch them come to pass. You are a child of the Most High God and because you turn to Me in your calamity, I will turn to you and remove it from your life and prosper you because of it. Go into all the world and preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ saves, delivers, sets free, heals, restores, renews and gives peace in a world that has no peace. You are to listen to My voice at all times and I will bring blessings upon you as never before. Continue in your preparation seeking Me, thirsting for Me. Looking for wisdom and knowledge for they are yours for the taking. Cry out to your God for the lost and see them saved. Cry out for the broken hearted and see them healed in My name, Jesus of Nazareth. The name above all names. Your Covenant God has heard your prayers and I will respond to each one in the very near future.
 
My thoughts: Calamity: a disastrous event causing great misery//a state of great distress or adversity. (Webster Dictionary 1990): I thank the Lord that I can turn to Him in my calamity. I really did not know for sure the meaning of this word calamity; I knew what I thought it meant and I just kept wrestling with the meaning. I planned on looking it up in the dictionary when I had time but I went to bed that night and forgot to do it. I lay there and that word calamity came to my mind again and I thought I will look it up in the morning during my usual study and prayer time, but I could not sleep. I kept tossing and thinking about what this meant. I felt almost certain what I thought it meant was right, but I was not absolutely sure. Finely I threw off the covers and said “Alright Lord I will go look it up right now.” I thought it meant confusion or a lot of things happening all at once. To my surprise it was not what I thought it was, but it was what I was living at the time. This was a time of great adversity for me and it was causing a lot of distress in my life, and I had been in prayer about resolving the matter in a godly manner and not a worldly manner. I can tell you that the Lord did remove it from my life and He is faithful when we turn to Him in our calamity.

The Lord is your support in your calamity!

Be a blessing today to someone who  calamity is trying to destroy.

Well I survived my first blog radio talk show. I did not know what to expect and when he just turned it over to me I was stunned and totally scared! I babbled on for a while and then he joined in and I felt much more comfortable. The exciting thing is the Lord gives us confirmations for what He is telling us. I love that! So listening to others and their dreams and prophetic words always help us to prepare for what is ahead. God is never taken by surprise and we should not be either. He is still speaking today through His people and confirms His words. 

Acts 1:4-8 (NLT) In one of these meetings as He was eating a meal with them, He told them, “Do not leave Jerusalem until the Father sends you what He promised. Remember I have told you about this before. John baptized with water, but in just a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” When the apostles were with Jesus, they kept asking Him, “Lord are you going to free Israel now and restore our kingdom?” “The Father sets those dates,” He replied, “and they are not for you to know. But when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, you will receive power and will tell people about Me everywhere—in Jerusalem, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
​
The promise of the Father, Jesus spoke of the Holy Spirit as a promise to us. This baptism would be with power from on high. It would make us strong witnesses for Him. They were expecting a king that would come and conquer in war and authority and Jesus gave them a king that would rule from our hearts. God uses us to accomplish His will. The Holy Spirit is who empowers us to go out and be that bold witness to the world.

Tell someone about Jesus today!

Thank you!
May God bless you today.

Because of a distorted world view of fathers it is very difficult for many of us to understand a father’s love. Single moms with boyfriends living in the home and children being raised by step-fathers today is at an alarming rate. Although we thank God for wonderful men that step into that father role for children whose fathers have abandoned the home for one reason or another, there are still so many that are left to a step-father or boyfriend that is non-caring or even abusive.
 
God was the first parent. He created Adam and Eve as His children in His image and then He gave us the privilege of creating our children in our image. As we look upon our children for those signs of ourselves in them, so the Father looks for the signs of Him in us.

The love you feel for your children is a love God feels for you and even greater. God is the only one 100% for you. Think about that for one moment, no one can be 100% for you, not even your parents, because we are all self-centered to some point. Our flesh requires it. We would destroy ourselves and we could not exist if we were not in some way for ourselves. We must eat and drink, and we must rest, etc... For us to continue to walk this earth to be a part of our children’s and grandchildren’s lives we must serve ourselves in some way.
 
 I remember the time in my life when the Lord spoke to me and helped me to see that Jesus, I could love because He was my Savior; the Holy Spirit, I could love because He dwelt in me and comforted and empowered me, but I didn’t get the Father. I couldn’t begin to understand His love because I was raised in a single mother home. I never felt the love of a father on this earth. I never had a man that loved me as a father would, or worry about me, or to protect me from bad things. I was never a daddy’s girl or told I was beautiful by a loving father.

My Father in heaven so gently healed my hurts and he showed me that the reason Jesus died on the cross was to open up the Holy of Holies for me to walk into the very throne room of God, to spend time with my heavenly Father. He showed me I am loved, treasured, and protected by Him. He tells me I am beautiful, and He will watch over me. Any time I am hurt, lonely or confused He has showed me that I can come to Him as my father. I imagine myself climbing up onto His lap and feeling safe and secure in His presence as He holds me.

I remember several times my husband as pastor would hug a young man at the altar and say something like, "The Father says to tell you that I am your earthly father now and I love you and He loves you." They would just weep and hug him so hard. Later they would tell him that they never had a father, or they never had a fatherly love in their lives. It was so wonderful to see these young men find their heavenly Father, and experience that kind of love.
 
I was talking with a young man who was involved in New Age and he made a statement to me that I could relate to as a Christian. He said “People pray and think their prayers go way up there somewhere and they hope they make it.” It really struck me. I thought that is like so many of us as Christians, we pray and think our prayers go way up there somewhere. We are not sure and have doubts if they are ever heard. We only hope our prayers reach our heavenly Father.
 
I want to assure you today that if you are a Christian your heavenly Father hears your prayers. Before you can even speak them He knows them. He is right next to you, and lives in you, and He knows your heart. When I understood that I could enter the Holy of Holies it changed my prayer life.

The Father is with you always even unto the end of the age and for all eternity.

We so need Christian men to show a heavenly Father's love. Will you do it today?

Matthew 24 “Take heed that no one deceives you for many will come in My name, saying ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars…nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom……famines, pestilences, earthquakes…..these are the beginning of sorrows…. Because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold……So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near----at the doors! (What is near?) Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.”
 
In the book of Daniel it tells us of prophecy for the end time. In chapter 12:4 it says; “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”

Can I tell you we run to and fro. Cars, trains, and planes they have taken so many of us on travels even around the world. Many run to and fro from church to church; religion to religion; marriage to marriage; job to job; house to house, looking but never finding what it is they seek.

Knowledge has grown so rapidly in the last 125 years we have gone from covered wagons to the computer age. More technology has taken place in the last 100 years then all the years prior to that combined. I believe we have seen Daniel’s prophecy unfold before our own eyes.
 
This is the world we live in today! From the Old Testament throughout the New Testament every sign is coming together to that one climactic event of Jesus Christ’s return. Although we have a loving heavenly Father, we also have a righteous judge and time will come to an end and mercy will be lifted from those who have not chosen Jesus of Nazareth as their Savior.

Lord, help us now to spread the gospel with boldness so that many will come to know you and receive you in their hearts before that great day of the Lord comes.

My Word From the Lord: When the shadow of the Almighty is covering you no plaque shall be able to come into your dwelling. Everything is for a purpose, and a reason in each one's life. There is no accidents or unplanned events that are not used for My glory to those who abide in Me. Trust Me to take every circumstance, and use  it to help others. Life is never predictable, because choice is a powerful thing used for good, and used for evil. The battle rages, and evil tries to overtake My saints, but I, the living God, the one true God, will not let it overtake you. Here in this shadow you are protected, and loved by the Father. It is a new day dawning and I am still here. I am still working together all things. I am still at your side. Worship the Lord; look to the Lord; cry out to the Lord. I hear you; I see you; I know you; I will never leave your side; I dwell in you, around you, and through you.

Hosea 14:7  Those who dwell under his shadow shall return;
They shall be revived like grain,
And grow like a vine.

​Be blessed today!

When I was in my 20's I would go to church and see prophetic words spoken over many people. I noticed the prophetic words were very vague most of the time. I would think, "That could apply to just about every person in this room." [ I was still a baby Christian, very critical ] The other thing I noticed is how desperate people were to hear from God. So many needed a word from the Lord to reveal a direction to go, or just a word of hope to continue on. 

I believe the Lord is speaking to us as His children to understand this today, and to be prepared to give words of hope and encouragement. To give prophetic words of direction and correction in love. Remember the Lord always uses correction to edify the person not tear them down.  To do that we must know the times and the seasons. WE must be in tune to what God is saying in these days! Our spiritual ears need to be opened up by prayer and fasting to hear from God. People are becoming desperate and I believe the signs of the times are telling us this is only the beginning. 

As I was studying in the word earlier this week I saw a word flash before me. The word was Issachar. I knew the Lord was trying to tell me something, so I began to study about the men of Issachar.

Issachar means "he will bring reward."  
1 Chronicles 12:32 says, “And of the sons of Issachar, men who understood the times, with knowledge of what Israel should do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their kinsmen were at their command." 
​
Because of their knowledge and understanding of the times, the sons of Issachar were made keepers of the biblical calendar, and the ones who made known the appointed times and seasons when Israel should observe the feasts of the Lord. 

The Hebrew word H998 for “understanding” is “bee-nah”  which also means wisdom, and knowledge. 
These must have been very intelligent men, who understood the signs of the times. They were involved in political affairs, because they  understood that it was time to advance David to the throne. Although it was years earlier that David was anointed King by Samuel at the Lord's instruction he did not rule the complete kingdom for about 15 years. So we can see timing was important for David to take the kingdom from Saul. With this anointing of understanding the times, they knew what to do, and they moved with God to establish David’s kingdom. The Lord granted them an anointing to understand the prophetic timing when He would take the kingdom from Saul and give it to David.
​
1 Samuel 15:22-2822 So Samuel said:
“Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices,
As in obeying the voice of the Lord?
Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,
And to heed than the fat of rams.
23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft,
And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.
Because you have rejected the word of the Lord,
He also has rejected you from being king.”
24 Then Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned, for I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord and your words, because I feared the people and obeyed their voice. 25 Now therefore, please pardon my sin, and return with me, that I may worship the Lord.”
26 But Samuel said to Saul, “I will not return with you, for you have rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord has rejected you from being king over Israel.”
27 And as Samuel turned around to go away, Saul seized the edge of his robe, and it tore. 28 So Samuel said to him, “The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today, and has given it to a neighbor of yours, who is better than you. 

Saul would be removed from the throne because he rebelled against God. He feared the people more than he feared God, and obeyed their voice!

The Lord will bring reward to those that will humble themselves and pray, but also bless those that depend on you to hear from the Lord. 

If this is your hearts desire I pray the Issachar anointing on you this day. Will you accept the call? The Lord has told me several times throughout my life, "Never take lightly the call!" I speak that to you today. Whatever your calling is never take it lightly, but do it with all your heart, and all your strength unto the Lord.

Be a blessing today in someone's life.
