Even nature reveals God to us

 August 25, 2026

God's beauty revealed, if you have eyes to see!

This morning when I arrived at my number three daughter's house Rebecca, to get Flex, I spotted a beautiful black and iridescent butterfly [that looked like this one I took photo of at church that stopped and posed for the photo!]and stopped to admire its beauty.  It fluttered around me as I spoke to it like it understood each word I was speaking... "Well good morning you beautiful little butterfly, you are quite captivating in such a beautiful blue color, but I noticed something attacked you... you have parts of your beautiful wing missing. But you are still truly a beautiful creature God designed and sent to me to admire you."

When I finished speaking that beautiful butterfly landed on my shoe as if to thank me for that word of encouragement and it reminded me of these verses in Roman's...how can we not see God in his awesome creation? 

Romans 1:18¶For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

19Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning." Psalm 30:5

Better Days

Our God always finishes what He begins. David understood long nights. He knew what it was like to flee from Saul, to sleep in caves, to mourn broken relationships, and to wonder when God's promise would finally become reality. Yet through every hardship, David never stopped believing that God's final chapter would be better than the present one. 

That's the language of faith. The enemy will always try to convince us that our greatest days are behind us. He whispers that opportunities have passed, mistakes are permanent, and hope has expired. But Heaven tells a different story. 

God is the Author who specializes in beautiful endings. He restores what was stolen. He heals what was broken. He completes what appears unfinished. 

Because of Christ, every season of sorrow carries the promise of resurrection. Ever winter eventually gives way to spring. Every night gives way to morning. 

Your current chapter is not your conclusion. If God is still writing, the story isn't over. David eventually wore the crown because God faithfully completed what He had promised years earlier. The same God who completed David's story is completing yours. Keep praying. Keep believing. Keep walking. Better days aren't simply positive thinking; they are the confident expectation that God's goodness will have the final word.

ASK YOURSELF ...

What unfinished area of your life do you need to place back into God's hands, trusting that He always completes what He begins?

PRAYER:

Lord, thank You that You never abandon the work of Your hands. When I grow weary, remind me that You are still writing my story. Strengthen my faith to believe that joy is coming, hope is rising, and better days are ahead because You are faithful to complete every good work You begin. Amen

Another good verse reminding us of God's character Tina sent this morning...

Nahum 1:7 ESV[7]  The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; he knows those who take refuge in him

Ecclesiastes 3:1

¶To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

2A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

3A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

4A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

5A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

6A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

7A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

8A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

The Lord says:  "It's just like that rain storm that you walked in this morning, it was totally unforeseen and you did not expect or prepare for and it came so suddenly, and that flash of lightning and thunder that passed right over your head. Just like I sheltered you from that storm, because you were walking with me, all of those that are walking with me, my hand is over them. My hands are cupping them like a precious little baby or a sparrow that is held in the hands of your maker. I'm holding and guarding every single one these that are precious to me, and I value them. 

 You are going to see some unexpected events take place and you're going to see some unexpected harvests... they're going to happen in places that people didn't even foresee. Somebody might have just shared a word and a whole river of people will get in on it and get saved, because people's hearts are ready and they're ripe. They know that something is getting ready to happen, they can sense it and feel it. They don't know what it is...they need you to tell them. They need you to be the light and the salt and to keep your eyes focused on me. All you have to do is open your mouth and to be filled with my spirit and I'll do the rest. 

SCRIPTURES

Luke 10:2 NKJV — Then He said to them, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.

Luke 21:36 NKJV — “Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

Luke 19:10 NKJV — “for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

Luke 17:30 NKJV — “Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.

Luke 17:26 NKJV — “And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man:

Luke 17:24 NKJV — “For as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven, so also the Son of Man will be in His day.

Prophetic Word delivered through Betty & Sharron

Behold I come quickly and my reward is with me.  Watch and be ready that you may be counted worthy – Yes, there is a worthiness to escaping these things that are coming upon the earth.  Only those that are counted worthy, and the ones that are counted worthy are those that are watching, washed in the blood of the Lamb – those that love not their lives, even unto the death, and that overcome – the ones that overcome by the word of their testimony, the ones that don’t deny me before men, I will not deny them before my Father.  But if they deny me before men then I too will deny them before my Father and all of his holy angels.  I will say: “depart from me, I never knew you”.  If you know me then I know you.  Come and let us reason together.  Come into my presence and sit before me, if you belong to me then you belong in my presence.  If you belong to me then act like you belong to me – act like your one with me.  If your one with me then I need to know the intimacies – all that bothers you, and all that makes you happy.  I want to share every intimate detail of your life. 

I am getting ready to “pan” this world for gold, like a miner pans for gold in a river, I am getting ready to seek out those gold nuggets that belong to me.  They are going to shine and stand and their value is going to be seen in this world.  There will be no denying, when I take them out, that these belong to me and why they were removed.  When they see the wickedness coming upon this earth, they will realize why I removed my gold from this planet.  They are going to know exactly who is missing and their going to know exactly why they are missing - it will have my signature on it.  My signature is getting ready to be written in the heavens and in the sky – I am claiming the heavens for myself, they are mine – I made them, I control them, I hold them together.  I only let the enemy do what I allow him to do.  He can’t go any further then the limits that I have set upon my creation.  My creation bows down to me – it does exactly what I say that it should do and it won’t do what I don’t want it to do – it bows down to me and it only follows my commands and it does what I allow it to do.  It will accomplish the purpose of glorifying – it will bring honor and glory to my name.  Soon the world and the mystery of God is going to be revealed to this world.  Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that I am Lord of all.  There will not be one knee that will not confess this before me.

SCRIPTURES: 

Philippians 2:10 KJV — That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

Romans 14:11 KJV — For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

Isaiah 45:23 KJV — I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

1 Peter 1:7 KJV — That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

Revelation 3:18 KJV — I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

Matthew 25:41 KJV — Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

Matthew 7:23 KJV — And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Jeremiah 17:13 KJV — O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.

My Rapture Dream! It felt real!

Sunday night, June 7, 2026

I had a realistic rapture dream... 

I was with my group or Christian circle of influence, all the believers that were part of my life... it reminded me of the day of Pennecost,  the upper room where disciples and all believers were assembled together in that room waiting, for what they were not sure, when suddenly they felt a mighty rushing wind. This is what I felt hit me suddenly, as if something really big was about to happen. I turned and asked the person next to me [that felt like a combination of Tina and my niece Nanci] "Do you all feel that?" Something really big, and earth changing is about to happen. They answered: "Yes, we know and feel it too." Suddenly I realized what it was... it was the Lord! I felt his anticipation and joy that it was time to come get us, finally! His joy and passion is what I was feeling. I began to cry for pure joy and tearfully began to tell him, "Lord, I have been waiting my whole life for this moment and now it's finally happening!" 

I was overwhelmed with these feelings upon awakening from that experience and realizing it was a realistic dream but I was still here.  

He must be coming for us, soon, so make sure you stay ready and draw close to him. 

Scriptures:

1 Thessalonians 4:16 NKJV — For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.

Ephesians 5:27 NKJV — that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.

Titus 2:13 NKJV — looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

Matthew 24:50 NKJV — “the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is not aware of,

2 Timothy 4:8 NKJV — Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.

2 Timothy 4:1 NKJV — I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom:

Body of Christ Prayer

My Prayer for Body of Christ:

Lord I lift up the whole Body of Christ today, every believer on the planet between the North Pole and the South Pole, north, south, east, or west, wherever they are located, whatever their spiritual state. Whether they are serving you as your watchmen... five fold ministries [apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers, missionaries] socializing believers - those that are gathering together in your name as you instructed us to do as we see the day approaching, as well as those new born babes searching for a local fellowship of believers... every single believer all over the earth, whether they are on the day time side or the night-time side or the dawn or dusk side... where ever they are located, whatever their spiritual, physical, financial or emotional state, I lift up every believer that has the breath of life and whose names are recorded in the Lamb’s book of life. 

I pray for those on their sick or death beds, those in prison who made bad choices, send them restoration help, those in prison because someone bore false wittness against them... I pray the perpetrators will be uncovered, discovered and dealt with as it is written: he that doeth wrong shall receive wrong for what he has done, as with God there is no respector of persons. Also those that are in prison for your name sake marked for martyrdom,  or being held by the enemy to make an example of them. Lord we need these believers that are willing to lay their lives down for you... manifest the works of God through their release and send your angels to set them free, even if you have to shake the heavens above, the earth beneath and use all the forces of nature to set them free that you would do so, as we need these believers for your harvest. Lord warn them of danger through dreams, visions, visitations, people, places, things, multimedia,  divine encounters,  Angelic visitations,  interventions,  and especially your word and other believers. Lord I also pray for the underground church, the persecuted church in every nation, kindred, and tongue especially Nigeria, Kenya, Congo, all over Africa, those in China, Koreans,  India, middle East among the muslims all over the earth... North America, South America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Italy,  United Kingdom,  Russia, and all over the whole earth. Strengthen their faith, help them keep their minds stayed on you as you promised perfect peace to those whose mind is stayed upon you. May your peace rest upon them, the joy of the Lord give them strength and supply all their needs according to our riches in glory through Christ Jesus. 

Lord, I pray for those represented by the 7 churches all over the earth, in every fellowship ... the Pergamos/compromising church, where satans throne is, the Ephesus/loveless church, the persecuted/Smyrna church, the Thyatira/corrupt church, the Sardis/dead  church, the Philliadelphian/faithful church... the only one you gave promise to keep them from hour of trial coming on the whole earth, and the Laodicean/lukewarm church, the age we are living in now. Lord open their eyes and help them see before you vomit them out, help them to see they are  wretched, misserable, poor, blind and naked.  Lord I pray for all believers who are watching, ready, without sin, spots and wrinkles who love your appearing, to be the light and salt. I pray also  according to Isaiah 54:17:  No weapon formed against thee shall prosper and every tongue that rises against thee in judgement thou shall condemn, this is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their righteousness is of me saith the Lord, and also that the words of our mouth and meditations of our hearts will be found acceptable in your sight today, Lord, our strength and our redeemer.

EVEN NATURE TEACHES THERE IS A CREATOR

DUCKIEPOO 

Today, our neighborhood mascot... DuckiePoo came by... his usual visit around 5:00ish and I have some fishy/seafood catfood we give plus bread.  Today, I was giving him the usual stuff, and he would eat, struggle to eat, and look at me for help(?)... or something. I wanted to help him somehow, and I talk to him daily, calling him "duckiepoo," and he coo's back. 

Then I felt the Lord tell me: "Ducks need water to help them eat, give him a little bowl of water." I did, and amazingly, he drank, ate, drank ate, and thanked me in duck talk. He ate every grain of the food, dunking them happily in the bowl of water! Also he did a little curtsy or bowed, shook his beautiful tail happily as before the Lord... it was like he wanted to thank the Lord for the help! It reminded me of what a mother hen does over her newly hatched baby chicks. She spreads her wings and falls down, and this is what I saw, plus duck chatter during the process! How amazing is our Lord!
