And this is what HE said to me.....2/21/2011




As I was sitting here this morning with the Lord....just sitting here...in the quiet of the rainy day. I heard the Lord whisper to me,
"Close your eyes - be still - know me."


To be honest at first I wondered, in my mind, "Be still? I am still...I am just sitting here enjoying your presence...."
Then I heard the whisper again, "Close your eyes.....shhhhhhhh."


(Isn't it fearfully amazing in a very holy way.....how the Lord God can be?)


I am glad I listened, because as I sat in the quiet after a few moments the Lord began to speak to me.
He spoke specifically to me about my purpose and mission in life and also about these days and times we are in


I will share with you what it is the Lord spoke about the his body and these perilous times and how to be prepared for them.


This is what He said.


"My Beloved, I hear so many say if you are so heavenly minded or if you live so much of the time in the spirit how can you function in the natural realm? There has to be a balance.....This is not so, my Beloved the times you live in are perilous times and your advisory Satan has stepped up his game plan, he knows his time is running short. He has all hands on deck. He is using every deception in his ability to kill, steal and destroy not only those outside of my body but even those who have heard the truth and accepted it. He has planted spies in the camp who have been successful in bringing divisions, compromise, gluttony, envy, strife, jealousy and a whole host of sin into my body. The only way to see through this is by using your spirit eyes. By hearing my voice alone, not man's. This can only be done by using your spirit ears. You must walk in the spirit at all times.....live in the spirit at all times. It is then and only then you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh....As you know my Beloved no one who practices these things will inherit the kingdom of God.
The season is upon us...THIS IS THE SEASON...not even I  know the day or the hour my Love....but surly I can sense the changing of the seasons.....and I do.....you can as well....but only in the spirit....only if you are in the spirit.....for in a moment in a twinkling of an eye, those that await that moment will be taken to meet together with ME.....and ALL WHO HAVE BEEN AWAITING THE COMING OF THEIR MESSIAH WILL SEE HIM COME.....TOGETHER - WITH EVEN THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE....although the fate of those who do not believe will not be the same as those who believe.

My Beloved, look always with spirit eyes, see what the spirit has to say so will not be deceived.

Hear always with spirit ears so you will hear always what the spirit has to say.

Walk always in the spirit so you ill not full fill the lusts of the flesh and will be one to inherit the Kingdom of God.

Do Not Worry about Being filled TOO Much with the Spirit of God that you will not be able to function in the natural realm, you are made of flesh and can not avoid the desire to survive...these desires and tendencies will always be primary....Die daily to yourself and ungodly desires until I take my Bride home."

"I love you"

Tin Soldier

Your Tin Soldier is waiting for you
He just stands here every day
In the same place where you left him
I see him every time I come to pray


This is my pray chair and
your Tin Soldier stands here next to me
By default and by divine order
How ever you choose to see


But when I look at him, I pray for you
I wonder how you are
I thank the Lord you are still so close 
even though you seem so far


I always thank the Lord for you
ask for his blessings and love 
but today really he stirred my heart
with extra thoughts from above


As I sit and look at your Tin Soldier....as I think of you....I noticed something about this soldier.


I see a helmet covering his head - the Helmet of Salvation (referenced in Ephesians 6:17)
I see a breast plate covering his chest - the breast plate of righteousness covering his chest. (referenced in Ephesians 6:14)
I see the Tin Soldier holding a small Bible which is  the Sword of the Spirit. - (referenced in Ephesians 6:17),


What I haven't seen and still don't see on the Tin Soldier....is a Belt around it's waist - (referenced in Ephesians 6:14) It is referenced as The Belt of Truth....and IN Fact is the first item mention in the list.
I also notice that though the Tin Soldier has two pieces of metal on the end of his legs they are unfinished and he is after all not a  live person. So where it says in the scripture,
"have your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the Gospel of peace." (referenced in Ephesians 6:15) That is the other item missing in the armor of this Tin Soldier.


Now I realize this is just a "Tin" Soldier I am looking at...(and not a live person)...However, sometimes and quite often frankly in our live, the Lord can and has IN MY life used things, objects, jobs, people....to point things out.


Are we wearing the FULL ARMOR of GOD?


If any ONE piece is missing....it could cost us our life ....or the lives of someone we love.


Shalom!

The Armor of God (NIV) 
¹⁰ Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. ¹¹ Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. ¹² For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. ¹³ Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. ¹⁴Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, ¹⁵ and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. ¹⁶ In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. ¹⁷ Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

So You think you KNOW God?

"You, God, are my God,
   earnestly I seek you;
I thirst for you,
   my whole being longs for you,
in a dry and parched land
   where there is no water.

  I have seen you in the sanctuary
   and beheld your power and your glory.
 Because your love is better than life,
   my lips will glorify you.
 I will praise you as long as I live,
   and in your name I will lift up my hands.
 I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods;
   with singing lips my mouth will praise you." Psalm 63

Take me up oh Lord! Take me up!

To our place where you and I meet. Where you share with me the mysteries of your Word. Here I sit, Oh Lord. Here I sit and wait on you. I am still...and quiet...waiting on you...to speak.

Speak, for your hand maiden is listening.

When was the last time you have just sat in the stillness of the night (or day) and waited on the Lord? In God's Holy written Word He tells us in Psalm 46:10 to,

"Be still, and know that I am God...."

Do you know God?

This verse has been so heavy upon my heart!! I would like to share wit you and welcome  your input!!!

First...

I would like to make note of the words still and know.


First the word still comes from the Hebrew word for abated ~ Raphah (raw-faw') which means to sink down, drop relax or withdraw. 


Next is the word know which comes from the Hebrew word ~ acknowledge ~ Yada' (yaw-dah') Which means, "to know, learn to know" and to know by experience." (personally) 


So, this is my wonder, how can we say we know God if we never take time to sit and be still in His presence? 

We can read about Him. 

We can pray to Him.

We can even worship Him.

But that doesn't necessarily mean we know Him

That just means we know ABOUT Him.

Where is YOUR quiet place with the Lord?

Do you have one?

Any ol' place will do.....the Lord is just waiting for you.
