Prophetic Word: February 2, 2024 TESTING BY FIRE!

 February 2, 2024

Betty and Sharron: Prophetic Word - Testing By Fire

I am getting ready to release the fires of judgement that is going to bring about repentance in this world.  It’s going to be a physical fire as well as a spiritual fire.  It is going to burn away the wood, hay and stubble from people’s lives.  I am going to remove the carnality – I am going to cause people to see their carnality, just like you did in the dream that you received.  You were able to see with eyes that you hadn’t really looked and examined yourself.  In the same way I am getting ready to cause people to examine their hearts, because the time is short, and the final countdown is getting ready for my people – the time of Jacob’s trouble is very near to the starting date.  The time for me to remove my people, the restrainer, is approaching.  You just need to live your life, be ready, be the light, be the salt that I need you to be.  I promised that if you lifted me up, then I will draw all people to me.  He that keeps his mind stayed on me will receive perfect peace.  You should not be afraid because I am your shield and your exceedingly great reward.  So, just be bold as the lion, but wise as the serpent, harmless as the dove. Live by the two rules that you were given: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and being, and others as yourself – this is your requirement.  People are looking for what you have, so give it to them.

SCRIPTURES:

[1Co 3:12-17 KJV] 12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which [temple] ye are.

[Isa 26:3 KJV] 3 Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace, [whose] mind [is] stayed [on thee]: because he trusteth in thee.

[1Co 3:3 KJV] 3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

[Rom 7:14-15 KJV] 14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.

[Gen 15:1 KJV] 1 After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I [am] thy shield, [and] thy exceeding great reward.

[Mat 10:16 KJV] 16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

[2Th 2:7 KJV] 7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth [will let], until he be taken out of the way.

Prophetic Word: #1 Great Commission, #2 I AM That I AM

 Prophetic Word: January 17, 2024 – #1 The Great Commission

Betty, Sharron, and Nanci

The Lord kept putting the great commission in my mind, and He instructed me to start out by quoting this first [see below]

The- Lord says that the things that are coming upon this planet that are getting ready to take place are going to reveal the light.  My beloved is going to be the light.  I am beginning – I know I have said this over and over, that I am beginning to reveal my beloved.  You are not going to have to convince anybody that you are my beloved, they are going to know it, they are going to feel it when they are in your presence.  They are going to see the peace that passes all understanding that guards your hearts.  They are going to see all hell breaking loose, but they are going to see you going through storms but with my peace, they are going to see my peace upon you.  They are going to see the joy of the Lord give you strength during the times when you are totally down and out, but I will give you my personal strength, because my strength is made perfect in your weakness.  Just go to all the world and preach the gospel.  Be the light – I promise that if you lift me up, I, even I will draw all people to me, you don’t do it, I do it!  All I ask you to do is to lift me up.  Bring honor and glory to my name through everything that comes your way today.  If you happen to be blessed with tomorrow, then wake up tomorrow and do the same thing.  I order your steps, just like the verse you quote all the time: "[Pro 3:5-6 KJV] 5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. If you allow me, I will be your eyes, and ears, and give you a new heart. Do you not remember what Isaiah said, "Here am I, send me [Isa 6:8 KJV Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, here am I; send me.”].  For if I have you, I will speak through you, I will flow through you.  I will do great and mighty things that you know not because I am the same yesterday, I am the same today and I will be the same tomorrow.  Soon and very soon this world is going through a shaking that they have never experienced before, for the purification of many hearts.  Many hearts are getting ready to be purified, and a great transition is getting ready to take place this year.  Watch for it – be ready!

SCRIPTURES:

[Mar 16:15-20 KJV] 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with [them], and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. 

[Heb 13:8 KJV] 8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

[Mar 8:18 KJV] 18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?

[Mat 5:13 KJV] 13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

[Mar 4:21 KJV] 21 And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?

[Luk 8:16 KJV] 16  No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth [it] under a bed; but setteth [it] on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.

[Jhn 14:3, 12 KJV] 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also. ... 12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

[Luk 11:33, 36 KJV] 33  No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth [it] in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light. ... 36 If thy whole body therefore [be] full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.

[2Co 12:9 KJV] 9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

 

Prophetic Word,  January 17, 2024, Nanci:  #2 I AM – I Change Not!

The Lord says that I am the great I am, I change not – I will never change.  I am the same God who already declares victory because victory is my banner, it is in my name.  I hold that banner over you – as a banner of love.  Everything that I do is already done, its complete – its already… I am that I am says the Lord.  The Lord wants us to know - the only thing that is measured in time is repentance of his repentance.  He has given us a declaration that we can walk with him – in the great I am, of who he is now and forever will be, and that is that we walk in victory and courage has been declared over us.  We keep focusing on the clichés that seem like they are from him but they are things that have been take from the truth that are not even in his word, that point back at the destruction of the enemy, and you want to know that destruction was preordained for him and his angels, but people are constantly left and right are falling into the same footsteps of the enemy by walking in his disobedience, by taking their eyes off of his word, and taking the truth and distorting the truth for what it is not.  You want us to know that thus saith the Lord: that we are victorious.  You are- you are the great I am.  We are victorious now not tomorrow.  Tomorrow has already been declared that we have the victory.  You want us not to look at tomorrow but today.  Today as we hear your voice, your victory is for us, and it is already declared for eternity.  Today as we hear your voice and do not allow our hearts to be hardened.  We come to you with everything that we are, we will know that we are more then conquerors, because you love us Lord, you will always love us and nothing can take that from you.  We do not live by tomorrow, we live in today, we are eternal, because we are yours and you want us to look at life and your eternal, I am victorious existence.  In Jesus name

[Mal 3:6 KJV] 6 For I [am] the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

[Sng 2:4 KJV] 4 He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me [was] love.

[Isa 13:2 KJV] 2 Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.

[1Ch 29:11 KJV] 11 Thine, O LORD, [is] the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all [that is] in the heaven and in the earth [is thine]; thine [is] the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.

[Mat 6:25-34 KJV] 25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? 27  Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, [shall he] not much more [clothe] you, O ye of little faith? 31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day [is] the evil thereof.

Patrick's Testimony, Feb. 15, 2024

OVERCOMERS

Revelation 12:11 KJV — And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

I wanted to share an incredible testimony with you that a neighbor shared with me this morning as I did a prayer walk.  I have been praying for my neighbors every day as I learn their names, and Patrick and I sometimes visit together as he walks his big dog, Maxx, who always watches for me, according to Patrick and announces my arrival. Today as we spoke and updated each other, Patrick shared his personal testimony and I am awestruck at the extent God will go through to save a soul like the song: "The Reckless love of God". Here is his testimony...

Patrick was living in Houston, TX, fifteen years ago painting the "Advanced Auto" shops, and one morning upon returning to his hotel room, he had the television on, and Joel Olsteen was on the TV.  He did not want to hear this guy and said he tried everything to turn off the guy, didn't want to hear it but nothing worked, so he decided to just leave it on as he didn't want to tear up the TV while trying. As this preacher began to speak, he said: "I see you in that hotel room, sitting on that bed. You need to get out and come join us in service this morning as our service starts at 11:00 so you have time to come join us".  Well, Patrick listened and thought, "Okay, maybe I will, as it kind of sounds like this guy is talking directly to me, as if he sees and personally knows me!"  So he decided to go check out the church and this guy.  

He parked his car in their hugh church parking lot, and they had men out there directing people where to park and go inside for service. One of these men, (Patrick says was a hugh black guy) came up to him and said: "We have been waiting for you to help you get delivered from drugs and other things, do you have that gun on you?" Patrick answered." No, I left the gun in my car, " but was shocked at how this guy could be watching for him and knew about his gun. He, the man, told Patrick, "We know stuff." He knew he had a drug addiction (Meth actually in his pocket!)

Patrick went into the service escorted right up front by this guy who met him in the parking lot and said we've been waiting for you.  He was taken to the front and seated right by Joel Olsteen's wife,  Victoria! They gathered around him, and all began praying over him, commanding these demons to set him free, and he felt them release him, set him free! Patrick said this whole church got completely silent, and not a sound was heard as they prayed for deliverance, and he accepted Jesus Christ that day and became one of God's children, born again, then this church came to life to celebrate this redemption. He says at the end of service he went to find the black guy that escorted him down there, but it was as if he completely vanished!  Patrick was telling me his testimony and crying as he told it.  

I felt honored to have him share such a beautiful, miraculous redemption story, and it was just too incredible not to share with you all. I told Patrick I felt it was an angel of the Lord sent to set him free. He is a precious brother and has a Godly wife, Marie, dog Maxx, part of our Heavenly family! 

SCRIPTURES

2 Corinthians 7:8 KJV — For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season.2 

2 Corinthians 3:3 KJV — Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.

2 Corinthians 3:2 KJV — Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men

A DREAM: THE LORD’S RETURN, MILLENNIUM REIGN [March 2012]

 March 8, 2012 Dream (about Lord’s return)

I dreamed that the Lord’s return to Earth for the millennium reign took place, and while I looked around and saw very few people, I heard Him say, “All this is yours – go choose where you want to dwell as He held his hand out and swept it across the vast horizon.  I remember looking – it appeared I was someplace in Florida near swamp lands or marsh lands.

 I remember seeing these hotels and expensive homes/condominiums that were beautiful and thinking; I can take my pick and live in any one of them!  Then I noticed the vast marshy wetland behind the condo’s and walked over to take a look.  As I got there, I saw dark black water that you could not see the bottom in, and grass – very tall grass growing out of the water.  There were these big rocks just beneath the water’s surface and they had algae/moss growing upon them – like the moss that grows upon tree bark.  I stepped upon one rock and at first there did not seem to be any other rocks around me but as I took a step onto the rock, suddenly another appeared near it, and I would step upon it and there appeared another, and another, until I was free!  While I was walking upon these rocks, I “knew” that there was something beneath the dark water, something very evil!  I felt it was Satan bound for a period, but to be loosed in the future and that he was looking forward to the time when he would be released – he was full of rage and anger and revenge! 

As I stepped out of the marshy land, I was suddenly before what appeared a church office – secretary.  It seemed like Kay, who sometimes answers the phone for our church office.  She spoke to me and said, “Sharron, you need to get ready, as a very large group of people are coming – a second wave, which did not make it in the first departure…you need to get ready to help them understand why they did not make it for the first departure.” 

[Note: I wrote this 3 1/2 years ago but sounds like the new movie "War Room".]  

I woke up thinking about the Laodicean church – the lukewarm church that the Lord spewed out of his mouth.  I began to ponder the word “lukewarm” and it came to mind: “Think about coffee – you like your coffee very hot, others like it very cold/icy.  When you mix the icy with the very hot, you get lukewarm – these people are mingled with the world while trying to honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me!  When you leave your very hot coffee for a while and come back and it is barely warm – do you like it?  No!  You go heat it up or toss it out – right?  That is the way I feel about lukewarm believers that are naming my name but whose hearts are far from me – that are claiming to be believers but living in sin, not watching! 

I was still considering this dream when I opened an email I received and watched the video.  I feel like we need to stir those around us – encourage them through our own walk, by living daily “denying ourselves, taking up our cross and following Jesus: looking up as our redemption draws near, even at the door!  I watched another video that was on the same page as that one where Reinhardt Bunche raised a man who had been dead for three days and saw heaven and hell – he spoke of the flowers singing like the girl did, and he went to hell because of unforgiveness towards his wife: he was a preacher!

Pastor Daniel died after a road traffic accident. His body was in a mortuary for 3 days, and he came back to life at a crusade conducted by Pastor Reinhardt Bonnke. He still has his death certificate, written by a hospital doctor. In the movie he recounts his experiences, with amazing computer generated images of both Heaven and Hell.

You can do a search on YouTube for: Reinharte Bonnke,  Man raised from the dead to watch video.

Wheat, Tares, and Winnowing!

 Thursday, December 28, 2023

Prophetic Word: Betty and Sharron

You need to be very alert and keep your mind on me in these days ahead, as there are things coming your way in the next coming months, weeks, and years, even hours during this time.  A great shaking is coming to this planet, and it has a purpose.  It is a winnowing as of wheat – when you go and grab the stalks of wheat, then it must be cast down to the thrashing floor and in the thrashing of that wheat, it loosens the kernels of wheat from the stalk.  Then I must take the wheat and separate the chaff from the wheat, and the chaff is blown away to the wind and burned and the wheat I gather into my barn.  The winnowing process is taking place right now among my people.  

You are going to see the tares – I did not allow the angels to go out and gather the tares when I saw the tares among my wheat, because when you remove the tares, you will pull the wheat up too.  I told them to wait until the harvest, as at the harvest the wheat will be gathered, and the tares will be burned.  That is what is getting ready to take place.  

I am coming back to fight with the sword of my mouth.  Nobody will be able to withstand me – I don’t care how powerful they think they are; I can destroy them with the words of my mouth because I am the word, and all power has been given to me by the Father.  I am coming to separate the wheat from the chaff.  The chaff on the wheat represents the outer – the carnal, the fleshly nature that you have.  I must get rid of the chaff off you because you are so incorporated into the world and the lifestyles of the world, you are so engrained into it, you cannot even see that you have a chaff on you.  I have to get rid of the chaff because it is only the wheat that I care about, I do not care about the outer covering that is on the wheat, as it is useless, and it is the wheat that I am after.  I am getting ready to thresh the wheat and the wheat is going to be gathered into my barn.  

People are going to know – they are going to know who has a relationship with me and who does not.  You are also going to be very aware of the wolves that are in sheep’s clothing.  There are many, many among my flock that look like sheep, they sound like sheep, they even act like sheep, but they are not, they are wolves and they have gotten very good at acting like sheep, to the point that they think they are sheep.  I am getting ready to show who is a wolf and who is a sheep because my sheep hear my voice, and they answer when I call and another they will not follow.

 January 2024, CHRISTINA BABER's DREAM:

I dreamed about a church I was visiting. It wasn't my church, just a church, and the people were so happy to show me around. I knew that they felt so good about their church too, but, there were pagan things everywhere in every room. For example, I didn't see it, but, they told me about a room near where we were that there were people in there with tons of snakes. I didn't see them or know exactly what they were doing but, I knew what they were doing was wrong, sinful and pagan. It was not from God at all and they had absolutely no idea. They truly thought they were serving God in all they did and they were so far from what is right I was shocked that they had no idea how wrong they were. Everything they were doing was pagan and wrong and they had absolutely no idea. They were happy thinking they were doing so good and were so far from the truth and were completely clueless. 

SCRIPTURES: [CHRISTINA'S DREAM]

Revelation 3:14-22 ESV

[14]  “And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: ‘The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God’s creation. [15]  “‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! [16] So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. [17] For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. [18] I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see. [19] Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent. [20] Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. [21] The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. [22] He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’”

SCRIPTURES: [PROPHETIC WORD ABOVE]

 [Mat 13:25-27, 29-30, 36, 38, 40 KJV] 25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? ... 29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. ... 36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. ... 38  The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked [one]; ... 40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

[Mat 7:15 KJV] 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

[Mat 10:16 KJV] 16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

[Luk 10:3 KJV] 3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.

[Act 20:29 KJV] 29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

[Rev 19:11-21 KJV] 11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him [was] called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12  His eyes [were] as a flame of fire, and on his head [were] many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13 And he [was] clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies [which were] in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And he hath on [his] vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. 17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; 18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all [men, both] free and bond, both small and great. 19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. 20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. 21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which [sword] proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

Are you a Broken Cistern?

Jeremiah 2:13 KJV — For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.

Last night, Wednesday, December 13, 2023 I had a dream and while the only part I can recall is what I am about to share, it is what I feel the Lord wants me to prayerfully ponder. 

My Dream:

I was in this old two story house that was in great need of renovations and repairs. I was going either down or up the stairs [up or down didn't stand out] but suddenly I saw this dark spot on the wall near the bottom landing of staircase.  I stopped to check it out, touched it to see if it was paint, black mold, or wet from water.  When I touched it, it just caved in, the sheet rock seemed to melt, dissolve.   The hole was several feet wide and long - large enough for me to see a pipe had busted and it was very old, corroded and had grunge all over the outside.  I noticed the bottom pipe was frozen solid and had ice crystals hanging off it that was several inches above the pipes break.  The top part had water pouring out of it and was running into the wall flooding the foundation.  I looked around for someone to help me with this situation and a couple of guys came up, looked at it and backed away saying: "I'm sorry but we can't help you with this" and they turned and left me standing there trying to see where I could find someone qualified and willing to help with this dilemma.   I awoke and prayerfully sought what this dream meant. 

While talking to my niece Nanci about this weird dream, she and I were praying together and I felt the Lord revealed that the broken pipe was like people that were broken and the purifying, cleansing power of the "living water of the Word" was broken and his people did not want to be bothered with these broken people.  They want someone else to deal with it... "not me, I don't have time to mess with that!"  I also felt that broken pipe might represent some believers who are broken, that seem impossible to repair and no one wants to put the time and effort to do the fix.  They don't have time to be bothered with these broken vessels so the " washing of the water of the Word" can flow through to cleans these souls.  Feel free to share your take on this dream, what it may reveal to you. God bless!

This dream also reminds me of last year on Christmas eve, the temperatures dropped to 3% F and my water pipes busted, and within minutes my garage was ankle deep in water. The pipes coming into the house had frozen, busted, and even the turn-off valve was frozen and... as I stated it was  Christmas eve! Who in the world would be willing to come out to rescue this Widow woman from this emergency, considering my Son in law Dan, Tina's husband along with Tina, were ten hours away in NC. But God chose Dan through Tina to find me help and he had a friend from his church willing to come immediately to my rescue and within a few hours it was fixed. Also the Lord had my church take care of the cost! Now I have this story to tell others about what an awesome Heavenly Father we have, and how he is an ever present help in our times of need. He will never turn down a job, no matter how hard or difficult it seems or how nasty the job/fix may be.

Luke 11:39 KJV — And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.

Matthew 25: 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
41Then 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:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Matthew 7: 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Luke 10: 30¶And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

31And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

32And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

33But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,

34And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

35And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.

36Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?

37¶And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

Consider the Ravens

Saturday, December 9, 2023

I wanted to share an experience I had today and how awesome of a Heavenly Father we really have.  On July 3rd I went to Tractor supply and decided I wanted some hens for eggs, considering I live in rural America...Temple GA. While I should have taken experienced help with me to do so, I did not. I left after seeing those cute, day old baby chicks with seven chickens, only wanting seven hens but I discovered I had four roosters to three little hens!  Well when they began to reach crowing time, around twelve weeks old the breeding process began to take place. Adolescence hormones kicked in and so did the fighting over the three little girls! I gave the girls names; Prissy, a beautiful black one with what looked like a copper veil upon her head,  Fancy, a black one with feathered fancy feet, and then my little Rhoda [Rhodie] a Rhode Island red.  Now my little Prissy decided she was my favorite and always ran to me to cuddle and get me to give her treats which she wanted me to hand feed her!  She claimed me and my attention and she reminded me of the Apostle John, the disciple whom Jesus loved! 

As time moved on my little Prissy laid her first egg and I was so proud. I hated to crack it to eat as it was a baby chick... her baby!  Finally after a week, I rethought things and realized this is what I got them for, eggs so I yielded and ate them and because she was laying eggs, she became well sought after by the four roosters.  They began to squabble over her, so I made the decision to get rid of these roosters.  I prayed, asked the Lord to help me find good homes and posted on Facebook and Nextdoor neighbor praying someone would need a rooster. Well God showed his hand in sending me Christina, the daughter of a very close friend Sharon, who had four hens that needed a rooster! She got the first of the four and her kids named him Richard. Now that is one happy boy who loves his life and his ladies!

A few days ago I heard Elena let out a terrible scream and run out backdoor, so I came out to investigate what was going on. It seems a hawk had come to get a chicken, my little Fancy and had actually landed on top of her in an attempt at taking off with her when Elena realized it was not a rooster but a hawk on top of her! He let go and flew off leaving his scared little captive shaken so badly they all hid all day for the next three days behind the cage and the fence, a very narrow space.  There were black feathers all over from the attack and my little Fancy was so shaken she would not let a rooster touch her, she ran away screaming.  Now she seems to have recovered and actually layed her first egg today!  God protected my little hens, that is our Heavenly Father's love! [Fancy is the all black one in above photo]

Now I was left with three roosters, who all seem to want little Prissy, and she seems to enjoy all the fuss over herself and follows them around.  Well I again sought help from the Lord (like Psalm 121) and Christina found her family member, April, that wanted a rooster and saw my photos and fell in love with our most beautiful and very regal black, gold, iridescent blue rooster, Elena [my daughter] called "El- Elyon" due to his exceptional beauty and how he defended the hens. He also tried to stop the other two Americanna brothers in a terrible fight. He jumped on top of them both while they were locked in a terrible battle to the death but with no success.  I had to lock one up and now had two vying for the ladies attention. 

Today the Lord again showed his hand in the little things that we are concerned with as April decided today she would come get our pretty boy. I was wondering how I was going to catch him. At first I left them in the cage till I felt bad as they always get free run of my back yard and patiently wait for their release and breakfast [I spoil them!].  It stopped raining and April was 20 minutes from coming for her choice,  I went outside to try and figure out how to catch him, and I felt prompted to open a dog crate I had outside to put a rooster in for "time out", so I opened it, still thinking on how to catch him.  Suddenly he walked up to the cage and began to drink rain drops on the cage and then he decided he would go inside! I just reached down and quietly closed him in, right before April arrived to get him!  And amazing as it sounds, he did not panic at all, he just had a peaceful attitude as if he knew he was going to his forever home!

I wanted to share this incredible experience with the little things we care about and get you to realize if God cares about my chickens, dogs, cats, plants that are here today and gone tomorrow, what more will he not help us with our loved ones and prayers, and concerns in regard to family members and their souls?

I hope this little experience helps you realize how much we mean to him and how much he longs to show his endless love towards us.  God bless each one of you who reads this.

SCRIPTURES
Luke 12: 22And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.

23The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.

24Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?

25And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?

26If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?

27Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

28If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?

29And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.

30For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

31But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.

32Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

33Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.

34For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Psalm 121
1[A Song of degrees.] I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

2My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

3He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

4Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

5The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

6The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

7The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

8The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even forever more
