I come from a broken home, and raised by my grandparents who were very loving people. My life changed, for the worse when my Mom married and brought me to Texas to live with her and her husband. At the age of 12, I was molested by him, in the sleeper of his truck when Mom went into town in the pickup. This behavior continue several years as he would use threats against my Mom etc to get me to do what he wanted. Needless to say, that shot out any dreams I had at such a young age of serving God.

I am so glad He did not give up on me and sent ways of letting me know to hang on. For years I listened to Jimmy Swaggart, Kenneth Copeland etc, and went to church. Little did I know that what I was going through was also a doorway to let the demons enter, the spirits of depression, and who knows what else I had to deal with. I am glad I never turned to alcohol due to seeing what it did in my family.

I felt ugly, used, like a piece of trash to just throw away when they were finished wsith you. I married twice, the first ending in divorce after the birth of my oldest daughter, and the 2nd passed away after 15 years. I still held on to going to church to try and stay close to God, I knew he was there although I never learned the truth a that time ofa personal relationship we could have with him. After my 2nd marriage I started learned when I went to a nondenominational church for several years and really got hungry for the Word. Even then I had the demons still, and just did not know it. I do know I would try to hurt myself when I was depressed, if I had the fake nails on, I would literally scratch my face with them, or my arms.

God led me to friends who would help through those times, and eventhough they fought demons, they never seemed to pick up that may be my problem. The Lord finally sent me to another awesome church where they are anointed in this area of deliverence. After watching the movie the Passion, (it was time) twice in one week, they started manifesting at home ministry. Our group leader said he was shocked when they were praying for me and I growled, I woke up on the floor not knowing what happened until they told me. This went on for several more fridays, and on saturday I would be so wore out I would sleep all day.

One friend said she had enough and started praying, it seems a person who kept walking being me praying got one of the demons irritated, they said I foamed on that occasion. I finally went to a deliverence weekend after reading ‘Shadow Boxing.” It shows the doors that satan uses to worm his way in when we do not expect it. As I write this, I want to remain calm so I can write clear, and I am so glad to hear about Valeries deliverence. God is good and He loves us so much.
I don’t want to write a book and will write my other expriences later, I am just crying so hard and still trying to keep cool, which is hard to do.

God be with every one and I hope this helps someone else. Valerie stated how her experiences had her seeking out others, me, I turned inward and hated being touched by anyone, so being married that was somethinhg to be overcome in time.

In His Name.

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OTHERS WHO ARE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT SAY THEY TOO HAVE SENSED SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN….THEY TO HAVE HAD VISIONS, DREAMS, A WORD OF KNOWLEDGE, NOW THIS WAS EMAILED TO ME LAST NIGHT AND I FELT LED TO SHARE WITH ALL OF YOU! THIS IS A PROPHECY THAT WAS GIVEN TO A PASTOR IN ALASKA!

NOW WE HAVE TO ASK OURSELVES….WHAT IS THE LORD JESUS TRYING TO SAY TO US? HE WILL PROTECT HIS PEOPLE…WHO HAVE THEIR EYES FIXED ON HIM! I RECEIVED A PROPHECY WITH THAT BEING SAID. “THE LORD SAID TO ME, “DO NOT TAKE YOUR EYES OFF ME OR YOU WILL FALL PREY TO THE EVIL ONE!” “SPEND TIME WITH ME!” TIME IS RUNNING OUT…THAT IS WHY IT HAS BEEN HEAVY ON MY HEART ABOUT TELLING OTHERS TO REPENT….COME BACK TO GOD….ALL THE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN FORTOLD IN THE BIBLE ARE COMING TO PAST….

WE NEED TO STAND UP PREACH THE WORD OF GOD! THEIR ARE TWO SIDES TO GOD, HIS GRACE AND HIS JUDGMENT! MANY MANY CHURCHES TODAY ONLY PREACH ON ONE SIDE OF THE FENCE! THAT IS WRONG! IT IS A DISGRACE UNTO THE LORD JESUS! AND THOSE WHO PRACTICE SUCH WAYS WILL HAVE TO ANSWER TO THE LORD JESUS!

I CAN NOT STRESS TO YOU THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS BLOG! FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE NOT SAVED! TODAY IS THE DAY…DO NOT PUT THIS OFF…BECAUSE THEIR WILL BE A TIME WHEN YOU WONT BE ABLE TO CALL UPON THE LORD…ONCE THE JUDGMENT HAS BEEN SET IT IS DONE.

THERE WAS ONCE A MAN WHO LIVED A VERY SINFUL LIFE ALL THE WAY UP UNTIL HE WAS ON HIS DEATH BED. HE ASKED A PREACHER TO COME AND GIVE HIM COMFORT…PRAY WITH HIM…TO RECEIVE SALVATION….HE HAD TOLD THE PREACHER THAT HE SAID YES I DO ACCEPT THE LORD AS MY SAVIOR BUT LISTEN…TO THIS….GOD ALREADY KNEW WHAT WAS IN HIS HEART. HE KNEW THAT HE HAD ALREADY HAD IT IN HIS MIND AND HEART THAT HE WOULD LIVE HIS WHOLE LIFE IN SIN….BUT THEN ON HIS DEATH BED HE WOULD RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST SO THAT HE COULD GO TO HEAVEN.

BUT GOD IN HIS ALL-KNOWING ALL -JUST- PERFECT WAYS KNEW THAT THIS MAN WAS INDEED NOT HEART FELT…GOD KNEW THAT HE WAS NOT REALLY SORRY FOR THE LIFE HE LIVED…AND GOD HAD SET JUDGMENT ON THIS MAN. AS HE BEGAN TO TAKE HIS STEP INTO ETERNITY HE SAW A GLIMPSE OF WHAT WAS ABOUT TO CONSUME HIM. IT WAS NOT HEAVEN IT WAS HELL! AND THE PREACHER WHO WAS WITH HIM… WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THE LOOK OF ABSOLUTE FEAR…PANIC….ON THIS MANS FACE AS HE SLIPPED INTO HIS FINAL HOME WHICH WAS HELL.

THE PREACHER JUST SAT IN TEARS AND DISMAY …THEN THE LORD JESUS SPOKE TO HIM….SAYING “THIS MAN THOUGHT HE COULD COME TO ME AT THE END OF HIS SINFUL LIFE…HE IN NO WAY WAS EVER SORRY FOR THE LIFE HE CHOSE TO LIVE. GOD IS FAIR, GOD IS JUST, GOD IS PERECT. THIS MAN CHOSE TO WALK AWAY FROM ME, MANY TIMES I SENT SOMEONE ACCROSS HIS PATH TO WITNESS BUT HE WANTED NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM…OR ME…SO THE JUDGMENT WAS SET. IT WAS FINAL.

WE CAN NOT PLAY GOD! WE CAN NOT THINK WE CAN LIVE ANYWAY WE WANT IN THIS LIFE AND EXPECT TO REPENT ON OUR DEATH BED AND GO TO GLORY! THIS WAS VERY SOBERING AND A VERY THOUGHT-PROVOKING MESSAGE.. ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION: CHOOSE THIS DAY WHOM YOU WILL SERVE?

HERE IS THE EMAIL SENT TO ME LAST NIGHT!

Prayer Alert

My Dearest Brothers and Sisters in Christ. I beg of you by our Lord and Savior do not come off the wall of prayer and give our Lord no rest until He moves by his mighty hand. The problem with the Body of Christ today is not so much the amount of prayers but the quality of prayers that is being offered. The Bible says in the amplified translation the fervent heart felt continued prayer of a righteous man
makes tremendous power available, dynamic in its working. You see
prayer that is not heartfelt and by the spirit /Spirit makes very little
if not any incense. And if there is ” no incense” there can be no
vials thrown back into the earth, and if much incense does not hit the earth nothing changes unless there is divine intervention by our lord.

On last night during the beginning of service we had not yet started to sing, but we were praising and thanking our King for all of His love and grace toward us.

Then a spirit of intercession fell and we were “caught up in the spirit” for about 45 minutes or an hour crying out to the Lord for America. Just as Daniel did, we cried out to Him how “we had sinned in the church and in the world” and had forsaken the ways of our forefathers in the church and in America. We cried out for His mercy by the Spirit over and over again and groan and travailed.

After I finished, this is what I sensed, I did not get a day or time or even place of our Fathers judgment, and there are many things that the Body has already stopped. But there is something that is coming, something that will get through and all we can do is minimize its affect upon America and lost of life. God is about to get Americas attention, please don’t just mumble a few words let your prayers count, if they don’t move you, then they won’t move the hand of our Father.

1 Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more kindness and forgiveness? 2 Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it? 3 Or have you forgotten that when we became Christians and were baptized to become one with Christ Jesus, we died with him? 4 For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives.

5 Since we have been united with him in his death, we will also be raised as he was. 6 Our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin. 7 For when we died with Christ we were set free from the power of sin. 8 And since we died with Christ, we know we will also share his new life. 9 We are sure of this because Christ rose from the dead, and he will never die again. Death no longer has any power over him. 10 He died once to defeat sin, and now he lives for the glory of God.

11 So you should consider yourselves dead to sin and able to live for the glory of God through Christ Jesus. 12 Do not let sin control the way you live; do not give in to its lustful desires. 13 Do not let any part of your body become a tool of wickedness, to be used for sinning. Instead, give yourselves completely to God since you have been given new life. And use your whole body as a tool to do what is right for the glory of God.

14 Sin is no longer your master, for you are no longer subject to the law, which enslaves you to sin. Instead, you are free by God’s grace. 15 So since God’s grace has set us free from the law, does this mean we can go on sinning? Of course not! 16 Don’t you realize that whatever you choose to obey becomes your master? You can choose sin, which leads to death, or you can choose to obey God and receive his approval. 17 Thank God! Once you were slaves of sin, but now you have obeyed with all your heart the new teaching God has given you. 18 Now you are free from sin, your old master, and you have become slaves to your new master, righteousness.

19 I speak this way, using the illustration of slaves and masters, because it is easy to understand. Before, you let yourselves be slaves of impurity and lawlessness. Now you must choose to be slaves of righteousness so that you will become holy. 20 In those days, when you were slaves of sin, you weren’t concerned with doing what was right.

21 And what was the result? It was not good, since now you are ashamed of the things you used to do, things that end in eternal doom. 22 But now you are free from the power of sin and have become slaves of God. Now you do those things that lead to holiness and result in eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.

Be Blessed!

4 Therefore, O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Sovereign LORD. He speaks to the hills and mountains, ravines and valleys, and to ruined wastes and long-deserted cities that have been destroyed and mocked by foreign nations everywhere. 5 This is what the Sovereign LORD says: My jealous anger is on fire against these nations, especially Edom, because they have shown utter contempt for me by gleefully taking my land for themselves as plunder.

6 “Therefore, prophesy to the hills and mountains, the ravines and valleys of Israel. Give them this message from the Sovereign LORD: I am full of fury because you have suffered shame before the surrounding nations. 7 Therefore, says the Sovereign LORD, I have raised my hand and sworn an oath that those nations will soon have their turn at suffering shame. 8 But the mountains of Israel will produce heavy crops of fruit to prepare for my people’s return – and they will be coming home again soon! 9 See, I am concerned for you, and I will come to help you. Your ground will be tilled and your crops planted.

10 I will greatly increase the population of Israel, and the ruined cities will be rebuilt and filled with people. 11 Not only the people, but your flocks and herds will also greatly multiply. O mountains of Israel, I will bring people to live on you once again. I will make you even more prosperous than you were before. Then you will know that I am the LORD. 12 I will cause my people to walk on you once again, and you will be their inheritance. You will never again devour their children.

13 “This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Now the other nations taunt you, saying, ‘Israel is a land that devours her own people!’ 14 But you will never again devour your people or bereave your nation, says the Sovereign LORD. 15 I will not allow those foreign nations to sneer at you, and you will no longer be shamed by them or cause your nation to fall, says the Sovereign LORD.”

16 Then this further message came to me from the LORD: 17 “Son of man, when the people of Israel were living in their own land, they defiled it by their evil deeds. To me their conduct was as filthy as a bloody rag. 18 They polluted the land with murder and by worshiping idols, so I poured out my fury on them. 19 I scattered them to many lands to punish them for the evil way they had lived.

20 But when they were scattered among the nations, they brought dishonor to my holy name. For the nations said, ‘These are the people of the LORD, and he couldn’t keep them safe in his own land!’ 21 Then I was concerned for my holy name, which had been dishonored by my people throughout the world. 22 “Therefore, give the people of Israel this message from the Sovereign LORD: I am bringing you back again but not because you deserve it. I am doing it to protect my holy name, which you dishonored while you were scattered among the nations.

23 I will show how holy my great name is – the name you dishonored among the nations. And when I reveal my holiness through you before their very eyes, says the Sovereign LORD, then the nations will know that I am the LORD. 24 For I will gather you up from all the nations and bring you home again to your land.

25 “Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. Your filth will be washed away, and you will no longer worship idols. 26 And I will give you a new heart with new and right desires, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony heart of sin and give you a new, obedient heart. 27 And I will put my Spirit in you so you will obey my laws and do whatever I command.

28 “And you will live in Israel, the land I gave your ancestors long ago. You will be my people, and I will be your God. 29 I will cleanse you of your filthy behavior. I will give you good crops, and I will abolish famine in the land. 30 I will give you great harvests from your fruit trees and fields, and never again will the surrounding nations be able to scoff at your land for its famines. 31 Then you will remember your past sins and hate yourselves for all the evil things you did.

32 But remember, says the Sovereign LORD, I am not doing this because you deserve it. O my people of Israel, you should be utterly ashamed of all you have done! 33 “This is what the Sovereign LORD says: When I cleanse you from your sins, I will bring people to live in your cities, and the ruins will be rebuilt. 34 The fields that used to lie empty and desolate – a shock to all who passed by – will again be farmed. 35 And when I bring you back, people will say, ‘This godforsaken land is now like Eden’s garden! The ruined cities now have strong walls, and they are filled with people!’

36 Then the nations all around – all those still left – will know that I, the LORD, rebuilt the ruins and planted lush crops in the wilderness. For I, the LORD, have promised this, and I will do it. 37 “This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am ready to hear Israel’s prayers for these blessings, and I am ready to grant them their requests. 38 I will multiply them like the sacred flocks that fill Jerusalem’s streets at the time of her festivals. The ruined cities will be crowded with people once more, and everyone will know that I am the LORD.”

Be Blessed!

1 Let love be your highest goal, but also desire the special abilities the Spirit gives, especially the gift of prophecy. 2 For if your gift is the ability to speak in tongues, you will be talking to God but not to people, since they won’t be able to understand you. You will be speaking by the power of the Spirit, but it will all be mysterious.

3 But one who prophesies is helping others grow in the Lord, encouraging and comforting them. 4 A person who speaks in tongues is strengthened personally in the Lord, but one who speaks a word of prophecy strengthens the entire church.

5 I wish you all had the gift of speaking in tongues, but even more I wish you were all able to prophesy. For prophecy is a greater and more useful gift than speaking in tongues, unless someone interprets what you are saying so that the whole church can get some good out of it.

6 Dear brothers and sisters, if I should come to you talking in an unknown language, how would that help you? But if I bring you some revelation or some special knowledge or some prophecy or some teaching – that is what will help you. 7 Even musical instruments like the flute or the harp, though they are lifeless, are examples of the need for speaking in plain language. For no one will recognize the melody unless the notes are played clearly.

8 And if the bugler doesn’t sound a clear call, how will the soldiers know they are being called to battle? 9 And it’s the same for you. If you talk to people in a language they don’t understand, how will they know what you mean? You might as well be talking to an empty room. 10 There are so many different languages in the world, and all are excellent for those who understand them,

11 but to me they mean nothing. I will not understand people who speak those languages, and they will not understand me. 12 Since you are so eager to have spiritual gifts, ask God for those that will be of real help to the whole church. 13 So anyone who has the gift of speaking in tongues should pray also for the gift of interpretation in order to tell people plainly what has been said. 14 For if I pray in tongues, my spirit is praying, but I don’t understand what I am saying.

15 Well then, what shall I do? I will do both. I will pray in the spirit, and I will pray in words I understand. I will sing in the spirit, and I will sing in words I understand. 16 For if you praise God only in the spirit, how can those who don’t understand you praise God along with you? How can they join you in giving thanks when they don’t understand what you are saying?

17 You will be giving thanks very nicely, no doubt, but it doesn’t help the other people present. 18 I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. 19 But in a church meeting I would much rather speak five understandable words that will help others than ten thousand words in an unknown language. 20 Dear brothers and sisters, don’t be childish in your understanding of these things. Be innocent as babies when it comes to evil, but be mature and wise in understanding matters of this kind.

21 It is written in the Scriptures, “I will speak to my own people through unknown languages and through the lips of foreigners. But even then, they will not listen to me,” says the Lord. 22 So you see that speaking in tongues is a sign, not for believers, but for unbelievers; prophecy, however, is for the benefit of believers, not unbelievers.

23 Even so, if unbelievers or people who don’t understand these things come into your meeting and hear everyone talking in an unknown language, they will think you are crazy. 24 But if all of you are prophesying, and unbelievers or people who don’t understand these things come into your meeting, they will be convicted of sin, and they will be condemned by what you say. 25 As they listen, their secret thoughts will be laid bare, and they will fall down on their knees and worship God, declaring, “God is really here among you.”

Be Blessed!

We need to stop feeling sorry for ourselves for the positions we are in and take responseabilty for our actions….We need to Repent. Renounce. Recieve. WE need to be filled with FIRE! So that when we face evil…..instead of them coming after us….We go after them!!! And trust me when they see fire! They are going to run from us becasue they will see the WRATH OF GOD IN AND ON US!

In the book of Ezekel Chapter 37 it states:

1 The LORD took hold of me, and I was carried away by the Spirit of the LORD to a valley filled with bones. 2 He led me around among the old, dry bones that covered the valley floor. They were scattered everywhere across the ground. 3 Then he asked me, “Son of man, can these bones become living people again?”"O Sovereign LORD,” I replied, “you alone know the answer to that.”

4 Then he said to me, “Speak to these bones and say, Dry bones, listen to the word of the LORD! 5 This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Look! I am going to breathe into you and make you live again! 6 I will put flesh and muscles on you and cover you with skin. I will put breath into you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”

7 So I spoke these words, just as he told me. Suddenly as I spoke, there was a rattling noise all across the valley. The bones of each body came together and attached themselves as they had been before. 8 Then as I watched, muscles and flesh formed over the bones. Then skin formed to cover their bodies, but they still had no breath in them.

9 Then he said to me, “Speak to the winds and say: This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come, O breath, from the four winds! Breathe into these dead bodies so that they may live again.’” 10 So I spoke as he commanded me, and the wind entered the bodies, and they began to breathe. They all came to life and stood up on their feet – a great army of them.

11 Then he said to me, “Son of man, these bones represent the people of Israel. They are saying, ‘We have become old, dry bones – all hope is gone. 12 Now give them this message from the Sovereign LORD: O my people, I will open your graves of exile and cause you to rise again. Then I will bring you back to the land of Israel. When this happens, O my people, you will know that I am the LORD. 14 I will put my Spirit in you, and you will live and return home to your own land. Then you will know that I am the LORD. You will see that I have done everything just as I promised. I, the LORD, have spoken!”

15 Again a message came to me from the LORD: 16 “Son of man, take a stick and carve on it these words: ‘This stick represents Judah and its allied tribes. Then take another stick and carve these words on it: The stick represents the northern tribes of Israel. 17 Now hold them together in your hand as one stick. 18 When your people ask you what your actions mean, 19 say to them, This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will take the northern tribes and join them to Judah. I will make them one stick in my hand.

20 Then hold out the sticks you have inscribed, so the people can see them. 21 And give them this message from the Sovereign LORD: I will gather the people of Israel from among the nations. I will bring them home to their own land from the places where they have been scattered. 22 I will unify them into one nation in the land. One king will rule them all; no longer will they be divided into two nations.

23 They will stop polluting themselves with their detestable idols and other sins, for I will save them from their sinful backsliding. I will cleanse them. Then they will truly be my people, and I will be their God. 24 “My servant David will be their king, and they will have only one shepherd. They will obey my regulations and keep my laws.

25 They will live in the land of Israel where their ancestors lived, the land I gave my servant Jacob. They and their children and their grandchildren after them will live there forever, generation after generation. And my servant David will be their prince forever.

26 And I will make a covenant of peace with them, an everlasting covenant. I will give them their land and multiply them, and I will put my Temple among them forever. 27 I will make my home among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people. 28 And since my Temple will remain among them forever, the nations will know that I, the LORD, have set Israel apart for myself to be holy.”

I really felt the Lord Direct me to Bold Certain Wording….This is a direct Word ….So I thought I would just put them together as let’ see how it reads…

1 The LORD took hold of me, and I was carried away by the Spirit of the LORD to a valley filled with bones. 4 Then he said to me, “Speak to these bones and say, Dry bones, listen to the word of the LORD! 5 This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Look! I am going to breathe into you and make you live again! 7 So I spoke these words, just as he told me. Suddenly as I spoke, there was a rattling noise all across the valley.

9 Then he said to me, “Speak to the winds and say: This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come, O breath, from the four winds! Breathe into these dead bodies so that they may live again.’” 10 So I spoke as he commanded me, and the wind entered the bodies, and they began to breathe. They all came to life and stood up on their feet – a great army of them. ‘We have become old, dry bones – all hope is gone. I will cause you to rise again. When this happens, you will know that I am the LORD. 14 I will put my Spirit in you, and you will live Then you will know that I am the LORD. You will see that I have done everything just as I promised. I, the LORD, have spoken!”

I will gather people from among the nations. 22 I will unify them One king will rule them all; 23 They will stop polluting themselves with their detestable idols and other sins, for I will save them from their sinful backsliding. I will cleanse them. Then they will truly be my people, and I will be their God. They will obey. They and their children and their grandchildren after them will live there forever, generation after generation. 26 And I will make a covenant of peace with them, an everlasting covenant. 27 I will make my home among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

Oh my gosh!!! That is powerful…I was just bolding what I thought the Lord was directing me to bold….and then when we put the words together WOW! Can you see the Lord speaking to you?? This is so powerful and Thank the Lord Jesus for the powerful Word given to us!

Let’s rise up and give ourselves to the Lord completely and fill us with Fire so we can reach into the heart of darkness…and pull others to freedom by the awsome power of GOD!

Be Blessed!

5 Then the Devil took him up and revealed to him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6 The Devil told him, “I will give you the glory of these kingdoms and authority over them – because they are mine to give to anyone I please. 7 I will give it all to you if you will bow down and worship me.”

8 Jesus replied, “The Scriptures say, ‘You must worship the Lord your God; serve only him. ” 9 Then the Devil took him to Jerusalem, to the highest point of the Temple, and said, “If you are the Son of God, jump off! 10 For the Scriptures say, ‘He orders his angels to protect and guard you.

11 And they will hold you with their hands to keep you from striking your foot on a stone.” 12 Jesus responded, “The Scriptures also say, ‘Do not test the Lord your God.” 13 When the Devil had finished tempting Jesus, he left him until the next opportunity came.

14 Then Jesus returned to Galilee, filled with the Holy Spirit’s power. Soon he became well known throughout the surrounding country. 15 He taught in their synagogues and was praised by everyone. 16 When he came to the village of Nazareth, his boyhood home, he went as usual to the synagogue on the Sabbath and stood up to read the Scriptures.

17 The scroll containing the messages of Isaiah the prophet was handed to him, and he unrolled the scroll to the place where it says: 18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has appointed me to preach Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the downtrodden will be freed from their oppressors, 19 and that the time of the Lord’s favor has come.”

20 He rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant, and sat down. Everyone in the synagogue stared at him intently. 21 Then he said, “This Scripture has come true today before your very eyes!”

22 All who were there spoke well of him and were amazed by the gracious words that fell from his lips. “How can this be?” they asked. “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?” 23 Then he said, “Probably you will quote me that proverb, ‘Physician, heal yourself’ – meaning, ‘Why don’t you do miracles here in your hometown like those you did in Capernaum?’

24 But the truth is, no prophet is accepted in his own hometown. 25 “Certainly there were many widows in Israel who needed help in Elijah’s time, when there was no rain for three and a half years and hunger stalked the land.

26 Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them. He was sent instead to a widow of Zarephath – a foreigner in the land of Sidon. 27 Or think of the prophet Elisha, who healed Naaman, a Syrian, rather than the many lepers in Israel who needed help.” 28 When they heard this, the people in the synagogue were furious. 29 Jumping up, they mobbed him and took him to the edge of the hill on which the city was built. They intended to push him over the cliff, 30 but he slipped away through the crowd and left them.

31 Then Jesus went to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and taught there in the synagogue every Sabbath day. 32 There, too, the people were amazed at the things he said, because he spoke with authority. 33 Once when he was in the synagogue, a man possessed by a demon began shouting at Jesus,

34 “Go away! Why are you bothering us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are – the Holy One sent from God.” 35 Jesus cut him short. “Be silent!” he told the demon. “Come out of the man!” The demon threw the man to the floor as the crowd watched; then it left him without hurting him further. 36 Amazed, the people exclaimed, “What authority and power this man’s words possess! Even evil spirits obey him and flee at his command!”

37 The story of what he had done spread like wildfire throughout the whole region. 38 After leaving the synagogue that day, Jesus went to Simon’s home, where he found Simon’s mother-in-law very sick with a high fever. “Please heal her,” everyone begged. 39 Standing at her bedside, he spoke to the fever, rebuking it, and immediately her temperature returned to normal. She got up at once and prepared a meal for them.

40 As the sun went down that evening, people throughout the village brought sick family members to Jesus. No matter what their diseases were, the touch of his hand healed every one. 41 Some were possessed by demons; and the demons came out at his command, shouting, “You are the Son of God.” But because they knew he was the Messiah, he stopped them and told them to be silent.

42 Early the next morning Jesus went out into the wilderness. The crowds searched everywhere for him, and when they finally found him, they begged him not to leave them. 43 But he replied, “I must preach the Good News of the Kingdom of God in other places, too, because that is why I was sent.” 44 So he continued to travel around, preaching in synagogues throughout Judea.

Be Blessed!

1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. 2 Let the congregation of Israel repeat: “His faithful love endures forever.” 3 Let Aaron’s descendants, the priests, repeat: “His faithful love endures forever.”

4 Let all who fear the LORD repeat: “His faithful love endures forever.” 5 In my distress I prayed to the LORD, and the LORD answered me and rescued me. 6 The LORD is for me, so I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?

7 Yes, the LORD is for me; he will help me. I will look in triumph at those who hate me. 8 It is better to trust the LORD than to put confidence in people. 9 It is better to trust the LORD than to put confidence in princes.

10 Though hostile nations surrounded me, I destroyed them all in the name of the LORD. 11 Yes, they surrounded and attacked me, but I destroyed them all in the name of the LORD. 12 They swarmed around me like bees; they blazed against me like a roaring flame. But I destroyed them all in the name of the LORD.

13 You did your best to kill me, O my enemy, but the LORD helped me. 14 The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my victory. 15 Songs of joy and victory are sung in the camp of the godly. The strong right arm of the LORD has done glorious things!

16 The strong right arm of the LORD is raised in triumph. The strong right arm of the LORD has done glorious things! 17 I will not die, but I will live to tell what the LORD has done. 18 The LORD has punished me severely, but he has not handed me over to death.

19 Open for me the gates where the righteous enter, and I will go in and thank the LORD. 20 Those gates lead to the presence of the LORD, and the godly enter there. 21 I thank you for answering my prayer and saving me! 22 The stone rejected by the builders has now become the cornerstone.

23 This is the LORD’s doing, and it is marvelous to see. 24 This is the day the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. 25 Please, LORD, please save us. Please, LORD, please give us success. 26 Bless the one who comes in the name of the LORD. We bless you from the house of the LORD. 27 The LORD is God, shining upon us. Bring forward the sacrifice and put it on the altar.

28 You are my God, and I will praise you! You are my God, and I will exalt you! 29 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.

Be Blessed!

“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, BUT TEST THE SPIRITS, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.” (1 John 4:1-4)

“Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of God.” (2 Corinthians 6:14)

“For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of the light … And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.” (Ephesians 5:8)

“The righteous should chose his friends carefully, for the way of the wicked leads them astray.” (Proverbs 12:26)

“Do not be carried about with various and strange doctrines.” (Hebrews 13:9)

“If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.” (2 John 1:10)

“Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons.” (1 Timothy 4:1)

“For false christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect.” (Matthew 24:24)

I AM SO GRATEFUL OF HER PRAYERS AND HER ABILITY TO COMFORT THOSE AROUND HER. SHE TRULY IS A TREASURED GIFT FROM ABOVE. THESE ARE SOME WORDS SHE RECIEVED FROM THE LORD

“I speak. My Voice thunders. Yes, heaven and earth shake at the sound of My Voice. But you, be not moved. Stand. Stand firm. Stand still and see My glory.
Is there anything too hard for me? Trust. Trust and obey. You will see My glory. You will see My goodness. I have spoken it. I will perform it. It shall come to pass.
Who can overthrow My throne? Who can disannul My Word? Be at peace and rest. Enter faith’s rest. You have done your part – now trust Me to perform My Word. It is eternal.
It cannot lie. It cannot fail.
It cannot return void.”

“Communion is not just an act – it is a state of being. When I said I stand at the door and knock, if any man open I will come in and sup with him, I was not speaking of merely having a meal with him, but becoming a meal for him. You feast on Me daily – I have become your very sustenance – your food, your drink. In doing so, you have become a meal for Me; a meal, a resting place – My sanctuary.”

I had read that the life of a Christian is nothing less than holy desire. The Lord spoke to me “I say, the life of a good Christian is nothing more than holy desire.”
What He was saying is that our life is defined by nothing else than the degree of our holy desire for Him.

The Word says that the end times will be as in the days of Noah:
The Lord spoke:
“Noah was a righteous man, a faithful man, a holy man. Noah’s heart was mine. If this were your day, could I trust and choose you as I did Noah?
Come into the ark of my cross with your loved ones. Stay there – abide there – not for 40 days, but forever. Forever I say, the cross will be enough – for protection, for safety, for deliverance, for healing, for all you and your loved ones need.
Live I say in the shadow of the cross.
Live at the cross
Live by the cross
Live for the cross
Enbrace the cross. Embrace the lifestyle that the cross demands. Die, that you might live. Die, that others might live.
Live, I say at the cross daily. Start and end your day at the cross. Live throughout the day at the cross.
The crucified life is the only way to the resurrected life. It was for Me; it is for you; so it is for your loved ones.”

“For the joy that was set before Me I endured the cross, despising the shame. It was joy that kept Noah through all the persecution and shame. It was the joy of knowing Me and fellowshipping with Me that kept Noah. So, too, knowing and fellowshipping with Me shall keep you in these end days through all.”
