While talking to Rebecca, my #3 daughter, this morning [at 6:30 each morning], the forecast was terrible. The wind was blowing so hard I couldn't tell what was rain or wind. It roared, sounded like trees were going to topple down! I checked the forecast with the Weather channel and Rebecca, and according to the radar, it was a 90-100% chance with it diminishing at 9:00 a few minutes but kicking back up again. Plus, it was so intensely dark with no streetlight ... would I be able to walk and recharge my spiritual battery this morning?🤔 As I hung up with Rebecca, I noticed rain held up [even though radar showed we were in the middle of very dark immense green radar, rain cloud on Weather channel. ] So I told the Lord It was up to Him ... this walk, and since He is the main Weatherman in charge, I'd leave length of walk to Him, 1st, 2nd, all three cul- de-sacs? I figured, based upon looks outside, wind also, only one ... Berean Way cul-de-sac [the name alone encourages me!] So I started walking with 2 dogs and The King🤴, 1st street ... we are good. 2nd street it begins to drizzle a wee bit, but I'm still tracking, 3rd Street is still good, so should I go back now or head to Vernon View entrance... push it? The dogs decided for me and pulled me towards the entrance. We managed that whole 3 cul-de-sac walk, no rain till I left 5 minutes later to get Flex, Rebecca's Corgy, after the walk ended ... rain.
Now that's our God, so how can we not trust Him with everything else if He cares so much about a simple little "spiritual, recharging walk" with Him? This experience says it all! Also He let rain slack up enough for Flex to go potty before the car ride... That's our Abba Father... Daddy God!
SCRIPTURES:
Genesis 3:8 ¶And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
9¶And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
Luke 12:27 KJV — Consider 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.
1 Kings 19: 11
¶And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake:
12And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
13¶And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?
14¶And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
A few weeks ago, while witnessing my daughter going through a very heavy spiritual attack for these past 2 years and feeling helpless at stopping it, ineffectual, I was crying out to the Lord regarding the battle not going anywhere. I asked him: "Why am I here, as I don't feel effectual to stop these attacks that go on 24/7 day and night? No one I know is willing or able to live in this endless battle against strongholds or principalities, wickedness in high places, and demonic spirits, " and sometimes Lord, I get overwhelmed and weary in the constant heat of this battle and it not going anywhere." I asked: "Why am I even here? What good am I doing? As for 2 years, nothing much has changed by stopping these spiritual attacks?" I was worn out, weary, and tired of this battle. I didn't feel qualified to fight and win and often times felt alone. I felt i was only sustained by the fervent effectual prayers of my faith family.
I reminded the Lord that others were having a hard time winning against or defeating this adversary as I was, so it's not just me.... But what is it? Why am I here for something I can't make go away or leave? Stop? I was just doing some soul searching, trying to be honest, asking the Lord to show me if there was something in my personal walk or life, my relationship with Him that was displeasing, hindering me/us from being able to stop these demonic spirits attacking endlessly. Also, I was encountering a question that kept coming my way from other believers at how this was able to happen right under my nose, a person that was a strong prayer warrior, and these questions I began to ask the Lord also: "Yes Lord, why? I was praying daily for 5 years as you instructed me, so how could this happen in my own home under my nose? Why didn't I see or sense this demonic activity in my home? Especially given the large amount of occultic material found?
After a bit of crying on his shoulders, [especially after someone would ask this of me], I waited for His answer. It came after I left the matter in His hands. He said: "I prepared you 5 years ago for this battle, just like I did David against Galiath and Joseph in Egypt, Moses, Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. Because you were obedient in doing as I asked, praying all those years faithfully, you were able to handle this battle for me. If you had not done this preparation these years, you would not be alive right now, and neither would Elena as the enemy only comes to kill, steal, and destroy. You have been chosen for such a time as this because without knowing it, you were being prepared and is the reason you have perfect peace in the midst of this storm. Just know, when I call someone for an assignment, I prepare them ahead of time, and I also equip them to fight the battle and win. You have been prepared your whole life since you gave me your life, and all you have been through has equipt you for this battle. Just know, breakthrough is coming and know "I've got this, and your family!" Keep your eyes upon me, and my Word, and off the storm. Pray without ceasing, and most important of all, trust me. "
While thinking on these things, this daily devotional video: "Give Me 15 - For Such a time as this" was posted for today... coincidence? I think not! There is a message here for anyone desiring to seek it, for such a time as this! [Linked below]

SCRIPTURES:
QUEEN ESTHER: Esther 4:12-14 (NKJV)
So they told Mordecai Esther's words. [13] And Mordecai told them to answer Esther: "Do not think in your heart that you will escape in the king's palace any more than all the other Jews. [14] For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"
DANIEL & LIONS DEN: Daniel 3:15-18 (NKJV)
Now if you are ready at the time you hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, lyre, and psaltery, in symphony with all kinds of music, and you fall down and worship the image which I have made, good! But if you do not worship, you shall be cast immediately into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. And who is the god who will deliver you from my hands?" [16] Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king, "O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. [17] If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. [18] But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up."
Daniel 6:16-28 (NKJV)
So the king gave the command, and they brought Daniel and cast him into the den of lions. But the king spoke, saying to Daniel, "Your God, whom you serve continually, He will deliver you." [17] Then a stone was brought and laid on the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the signets of his lords, that the purpose concerning Daniel might not be changed. [18] Now the king went to his palace and spent the night fasting; and no musicians were brought before him. Also his sleep went from him. [19] Then the king arose very early in the morning and went in haste to the den of lions. [20] And when he came to the den, he cried out with a lamenting voice to Daniel. The king spoke, saying to Daniel, "Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you from the lions?" [21] Then Daniel said to the king, "O king, live forever! [22] My God sent His angel and shut the lions' mouths, so that they have not hurt me, because I was found innocent before Him; and also, O king, I have done no wrong before you." [23] Now the king was exceedingly glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no injury whatever was found on him, because he believed in his God. [24] And the king gave the command, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions-them, their children, and their wives; and the lions overpowered them, and broke all their bones in pieces before they ever came to the bottom of the den. [25] Then King Darius wrote: To all peoples, nations, and languages that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you. [26] I make a decree that in every dominion of my kingdom men must tremble and fear before the God of Daniel. For He is the living God, And steadfast forever; His kingdom is the one which shall not be destroyed, And His dominion shall endure to the end. [27] He delivers and rescues, And He works signs and wonders In heaven and on earth, Who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions. [28] So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
JOSEPH: Genesis 37:23-36 (NKJV)
So it came to pass, when Joseph had come to his brothers, that they stripped Joseph of his tunic, the tunic of many colors that was on him. [24] Then they took him and cast him into a pit. And the pit was empty; there was no water in it. [25] And they sat down to eat a meal. Then they lifted their eyes and looked, and there was a company of Ishmaelites, coming from Gilead with their camels, bearing spices, balm, and myrrh, on their way to carry them down to Egypt. [26] So Judah said to his brothers, "What profit is there if we kill our brother and conceal his blood? [27] Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother and our flesh." And his brothers listened. [28] Then Midianite traders passed by; so the brothers pulled Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. And they took Joseph to Egypt. [29] Then Reuben returned to the pit, and indeed Joseph was not in the pit; and he tore his clothes. [30] And he returned to his brothers and said, "The lad is no more; and I, where shall I go?" [31] So they took Joseph's tunic, killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the tunic in the blood. [32] Then they sent the tunic of many colors, and they brought it to their father and said, "We have found this. Do you know whether it is your son's tunic or not?" [33] And he recognized it and said, "It is my son's tunic. A wild beast has devoured him. Without doubt Joseph is torn to pieces." [34] Then Jacob tore his clothes, put sackcloth on his waist, and mourned for his son many days. [35] And all his sons and all his daughters arose to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted, and he said, "For I shall go down into the grave to my son in mourning." Thus his father wept for him. [36] Now the Midianites had sold him in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard.
Moses: Exodus 2:10-20 (NKJV)
And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. So she called his name Moses, saying, "Because I drew him out of the water." [11] Now it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out to his brethren and looked at their burdens. And he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his brethren. [12] So he looked this way and that way, and when he saw no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. [13] And when he went out the second day, behold, two Hebrew men were fighting, and he said to the one who did the wrong, "Why are you striking your companion?" [14] Then he said, "Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you intend to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?" So Moses feared and said, "Surely this thing is known!" [15] When Pharaoh heard of this matter, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh and dwelt in the land of Midian; and he sat down by a well. [16] Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters. And they came and drew water, and they filled the troughs to water their father's flock. [17] Then the shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock. [18] When they came to Reuel their father, he said, "How is it that you have come so soon today?" [19] And they said, "An Egyptian delivered us from the hand of the shepherds, and he also drew enough water for us and watered the flock." [20] So he said to his daughters, "And where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread."
David & Galiath: 1 Samuel 17:1-57 (NKJV)
Now the Philistines gathered their armies together to battle, and were gathered at Sochoh, which belongs to Judah; they encamped between Sochoh and Azekah, in Ephes Dammim. [2] And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and they encamped in the Valley of Elah, and drew up in battle array against the Philistines. [3] The Philistines stood on a mountain on one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side, with a valley between them. [4] And a champion went out from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, from Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span. [5] He had a bronze helmet on his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail, and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of bronze. [6] And he had bronze armor on his legs and a bronze javelin between his shoulders. [7] Now the staff of his spear was like a weaver's beam, and his iron spearhead weighed six hundred shekels; and a shield-bearer went before him. [8] Then he stood and cried out to the armies of Israel, and said to them, "Why have you come out to line up for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and you the servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me. [9] If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will be your servants. But if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall be our servants and serve us." [10] And the Philistine said, "I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together." [11] When Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid. [12] Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem Judah, whose name was Jesse, and who had eight sons. And the man was old, advanced in years, in the days of Saul. [13] The three oldest sons of Jesse had gone to follow Saul to the battle. The names of his three sons who went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, next to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah. [14] David was the youngest. And the three oldest followed Saul. [15] But David occasionally went and returned from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem. [16] And the Philistine drew near and presented himself forty days, morning and evening. [17] Then Jesse said to his son David, "Take now for your brothers an ephah of this dried grain and these ten loaves, and run to your brothers at the camp. [18] And carry these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and see how your brothers fare, and bring back news of them." [19] Now Saul and they and all the men of Israel were in the Valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines. [20] So David rose early in the morning, left the sheep with a keeper, and took the things and went as Jesse had commanded him. And he came to the camp as the army was going out to the fight and shouting for the battle. [21] For Israel and the Philistines had drawn up in battle array, army against army. [22] And David left his supplies in the hand of the supply keeper, ran to the army, and came and greeted his brothers. [23] Then as he talked with them, there was the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, coming up from the armies of the Philistines; and he spoke according to the same words. So David heard them. [24] And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him and weredreadfully afraid. [25] So the men of Israel said, "Have you seen this man who has come up? Surely he has come up to defy Israel; and it shall be that the man who kills him the king will enrich with great riches, will give him his daughter, and give his father's house exemption from taxes in Israel." [26] Then David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, "What shall be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?" [27] And the people answered him in this manner, saying, "So shall it be done for the man who kills him." [28] Now Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab's anger was aroused against David, and he said, "Why did you come down here? And with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and the insolence of your heart, for you have come down to see the battle." [29] And David said, "What have I done now? Is there not a cause?" [30] Then he turned from him toward another and said the same thing; and these people answered him as the first ones did. [31] Now when the words which David spoke were heard, they reported them to Saul; and he sent for him. [32] Then David said to Saul, "Let no man's heart fail because of him; your servant will go and fight with this Philistine." [33] And Saul said to David, "You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are a youth, and he a man of war from his youth." [34] But David said to Saul, "Your servant used to keep his father's sheep, and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock, [35] I went out after it and struck it, and delivered the lamb from its mouth; and when it arose against me, I caught it by its beard, and struck and killed it. [36] Your servant has killed both lion and bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God." [37] Moreover David said, "The LORD, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine." And Saul said to David, "Go, and the LORD be with you!" [38] So Saul clothed David with his armor, and he put a bronze helmet on his head; he also clothed him with a coat of mail. [39] David fastened his sword to his armor and tried to walk, for he had not tested them. And David said to Saul, "I cannot walk with these, for I have not tested them." So David took them off. [40] Then he took his staff in his hand; and he chose for himself five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag, in a pouch which he had, and his sling was in his hand. And he drew near to the Philistine. [41] So the Philistine came, and began drawing near to David, and the man who bore the shield went before him. [42] And when the Philistine looked about and saw David, he disdained him; for he was only a youth, ruddy and good-looking. [43] So the Philistine said to David, "Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?" And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. [44] And the Philistine said to David, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!" [45] Then David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. [46] This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. [47] Then all this assembly shall know that the LORD does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the LORD's, and He will give you into our hands." [48] So it was, when the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. [49] Then David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone; and he slung it and struck the Philistine in his forehead, so that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth. [50] So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him. But there was no sword in the hand of David. [51] Therefore David ran and stood over the Philistine, took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it. And when the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled. [52] Now the men of Israel and Judah arose and shouted, and pursued the Philistines as far as the entrance of the valley and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell along the road to Shaaraim, even as far as Gath and Ekron. [53] Then the children of Israel returned from chasing the Philistines, and they plundered their tents. [54] And David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put his armor in his tent. [55] When Saul saw David going out against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the commander of the army, "Abner, whose son is this youth?" And Abner said, "As your soul lives, O king, I do not know." [56] So the king said, "Inquire whose son this young man is." [57] Then, as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
"Righteous indignation relates to something that is offending against God's glory, is in denial of God's law, and is harmful for other people." [Author unknown]
I wanted to share this little experience I had at church today.
After prayer team time, I walked around our church property to pray before service as I have done for past two years now. Well today, I was coming upon the back corner of our church's parking lot where our dumpster is located and usually, I just cut across that corner in front of this dumpster, but today, as I was approaching it, the Lord spoke: "Today, I want you to walk between the fence and dumpster and pray." At first I thought, is that you Lord, and wondered why, but when I got closer and thought to go my usual route, again I heard the Lord say: "NO, I want you to walk between the fence and dumpster and cover it in your prayers." So I did as instructed, not knowing why... squatters?
During the service and Pastor Phillip's message, he was preaching on faith but had a moment of "righteous indignation" and vented about finding a couple behind the church dumpster engaged in sexual relations, right there in our church parking lot! He rightfully experienced righteous indignation! I immediately understood why the Lord rerouted my prayer walk and had me cleanse it for him! How awesome is our God!
I am amazed daily by our Heavenly Father, nothing escapes his attention, just know. God bless.
Scriptures
Matthew 21:12 KJV — And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
Psalm 69:9 KJV — For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
I feel like Israel when God ordered their steps out of Egypt, into the wilderness, and it did not seem clear why the desert at first, but later on reasons were revealed. I feel something is on the brink – big that will change the world as we have known it and will forever change it. We better make sure we are well equipped to spiritually handle it, just like we do when there is going to be an ice storm – we go get our provisions just in case we get snowed in. We need to spiritually do the same thing: study the Word, put our armor on, become familiar with the weapons of our warfare, and occupy until HE comes!
I have had a foreboding sense in my spirit – it is a troubled feeling, like something ominous is on the horizon to appear very soon. I sense change and not for the better coming in some way for the whole world. I have also felt like God revealed to me that the earth is going to go through some tragic changes – the tectonic plates are going to shift so dramatically that new cracks and fault lines will appear where they never were before: in divers places! I think new faults and earthquake plates/cracks are going to suddenly burst upon the planet and scare people drastically! I also think the gravity of our planet will seem or feel different in the near future – the earth will begin to wobble like a drunkard and find a new course/path that will be shorter and move upon it’s axis so that longitude and latitude locations will be different.
I had a dream a week ago about my former pastor, Steve Brown, who I have not seen or been around in years, but the part I dreamt about him is the only part of the dream that stuck in my head:
My Tribulation Dream:
I dreamt that I was in a hallway, it seemed like it was at a church someplace and I walked by the restroom and heard a woman screaming and moaning, as if in great agony. I peeked in, and saw Steve Brown up in the air above one of the stalls – inside it, and lying in front of him was a really large, very pregnant woman, lying on her back, screaming - having labor pains, beginning to give birth! Steve was standing at her feet ready to help, but he was in a panic and screaming, “I shouldn’t be here, I am not qualified to do this, I need help someone – please, the baby is coming…what am I suppose to do…hey the baby is coming – I can see the head, help me somebody, please! I stepped in and listened to his pleas and sat down by the open door of the restroom to make myself available with what I could when needed and thought at least I can pray right now till I find out what I can do to assist him. I then woke up!
I felt the dream meant:
The large pregnant woman giving birth - “Mother Earth” the state of the world today: signs all around us that the great tribulation is even at the door
The baby’s head appearing – the tribulation about to begin, the seven year time of great trouble: the appearance of the anti-Christ about to be revealed
Steve Brown – the shepherds of the Lord’s flocks not prepared to handle what is coming – the tribulation and harvest.
Restroom, open door – The Church – place for spiritual relief, to eliminate toxic, unclean things from our spiritual lives/houses
Sharron – Born again believers, not spiritually prepared for what is getting ready to be birthed upon our society – willing but lacking necessary preparation and confidence to assist pastor with harvest.
My interpretation (?): Something is getting ready to happen suddenly – the earth is in labor and the birth is beginning to take place - the tribulation is about to begin and the birth/revelation of the anti-Christ is about to unfold on an unprepared body of Christ and planet! I believe the anti-Christ is in the preparation period for his revealing and great deception, but believers have not been spiritually prepared to handle it – they do not have their armor on, and do not even know how to use the weapons of their warfare to deliver souls- from the evil one. I think the earth, through God, is trying to tell us that the signs or birth pains are now taking place all at once, close together, and the wicked one is about to step into the equation. We need to be spiritually prepared for whatever comes next while we remain on duty till the Lord comes to remove His bride. Will we be found assisting in the delivery or sitting by the door, idle, thinking we are ready but doing nothing! The lies of the great deceiver are already being delivered via the multi-media programs, and if were possible, even the elect would be deceived – but God is faithful and will make a way for us to escape these things. Until then we must study to show ourselves approved, pray always, die daily – take up our cross and follow Him!
Lately spiritual warfare has seemingly increased in my life [perhaps some of you as well] and my family also, and just to share a few, for your own evaluation, consider these things: [all during 4 yr period moving here... I know God moved me here and I love my house, community, and this rural area] Also Christina had a warning dream [added at the end] that prepared us, warned us!
Isaiah 43:2 KJV — When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
I've had three stoves, 1-came with house, [electrical fire in oven burnt a hole inside bottom back of metal oven wall] 2 were brand new Samsung, purchased 1.5 yrs apart. #1 glass top had a gouge of glass out of one back burner, not covered by warrantee, cost to repair was high. #2 is five months old and oven keeps shutting off saying "bad line". Power checked 3 times by professionals and outlet is good.
My icemaker broke and had to be replaced at cost of $400
My favorite dog, a border collie: Hannah, had terrible seizures even on meds under Vet care and died from one that lasted an hour that killed her, broke my heart.
All grass died, disappeared from my back yard and now it's a barren waste land of slimy mud.
My washer and dryer both broke same time and had to be repaired
Hot water heater had to be replaced.
Dishwasher had to be replaced.
Pipes busted, flooded during sub temps, Christmas eve
My house had, suddenly an infestation of hundreds of mice eating everything and Orkin came and got rid of them at cost of $6000l
My Honda CR-V had to have brakes, all 4 at cost of $1000. Ouch!
Sometimes I feel like Job but... The Lord has kept me safe, provided for me, and kept me in perfect peace as my mind was stayed upon Him and in all instances it was as if I was not even going through these firey trials. Also for past two and half years the Lord has had me walk early morning and intercede for the Body of Christ as if I am the only one offering up prayers for Him to work with, so since 2016 I have done this each day, but when I moved here to Temple, GA I started walking first light with Him, doing a prayer walk [doing a spiritual recharge]. In two and a half years I have only missed three days, two, it was icy and I couldn't get out of my driveway or streets as they were solid ice. I prayed inside, and one Elena my daughter, here with me prayed: "God if you love me let it rain hard and long... He did.
Today while Nanci and I were praying about all the spiritual warfare we were all going through, and Nanci was praying, the Lord showed me a vision, and it reminded me of a song, these lyrics: "He hideth my soul in the cliff of the rock and He covered me there with his hand". I saw a vision of the Lord with His hand covering a cleft in the rock and us in there. I was reminded of Moses asking to see God's glory...
Exodus 33:18¶And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.
19¶And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.
20 And he said, "Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live."
21 And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:
23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.
I felt the ones that are in an intimate relationship with Him, those "Phillidelphian church of brotherly love" will be the ones in the cleft of the rock and when His glory begins to manifest and appear, those in the cleft of the rock covered by His hand will be safe, but those outside will not be able to withstand His presence or manifested glory. There will be a separation, and this will expose those that are His and those who are not as they will not be able to withstand this manifestation of His glory.
Also Sunday after church the Lord showed me a different perspective of Daniel and the three Hebrews the King threw into a furnace, seven times hotter and it killed the three men who threw them into the furnace... for not bowing before the golden statue. The Lord showed me this was His Shekinah glory like Moses and Israel witnessed in wilderness, and Moses alone could handle that presence. The King saw a fourth man in the furnace, like unto the Son of God. That glory struck the three men dead that tossed them in but the Hebrews survived!
The Lord revealed to me this is the way things will begin to manifest before our removal. God's glory will begin to manifest to everyone. [Isn't it interesting that the king recognized the other man "like unto the Son of God", and not an angel... how? Must have been the manifested glory of God!]
Christina's Dream [a warning from the Lord]
Elena and I were in what looked like a hotel with a lot of other people. I saw with Elena a lot of demons (not clear but I knew they were there) and one other "being" that was different and more defined than the other "lowly" demons. He stayed right next to Elena all the time. I rebuked them all in the name of Jesus and with the blood of the Lamb and as they left they blew up the stove on their way out in anger. Later, I was in bed and they were back and I rebuked them again in the same way and they left again but one of them came and attacked me this time and I started to make a growling sound and I said through the growl "GET OUT!" and it left. Then I was out in front of the building and the main guy that hung around Elena said to me, "You know they'll just keep coming back." I KNEW we were going to win and I knew he didn't know what I knew. We were going to do a 3 day fast and we were going to be successful.
(Time was approximately when my girls were in elementary school – Christina was around 9 years old).
I dreamt I was at work and about to go to lunch and as I stepped outside I saw strange soldiers (not American) coming down the street, marching in such a way – as if they were on an urgent quest. They looked angry or very serious about their mission! I heard the Lord tell me to go get my girls – quickly! I started running down the street to the building where the girls were, but somehow I knew I would be entering the building under great risk – my life was in great danger and if I were discovered, I would be killed. I also knew the soldiers were on their way and very near. I felt the Lord tell me to just go into the building and trust Him – He would be there to “cover” me. I ran into the building and as I was running, I passed an area with glass windows, sort of like a hospital newborn nursery, with windows all in front – you could see lots of women working in there, preparing some type of food for people, like a school cafeteria. The food, I remember, was weird stuff – unrecognizable but I remember thinking, “They cannot see me”! I remember running down the hallway looking for my girls and I passed people but they did not see me either – it was as if I was invisible!
I remember passing an area, again, that was like a shopping mall store window display, but there was nothing in the store window except two beauty parlor chairs and Christina and Elena were in the two chairs with covers over them, getting a “makeover”, but I felt the makeover was not physical but spiritual. I felt like the Lord was trying to warn me that I had to spiritually prepare my children because the world was going to change and brainwashing was going to begin among our children – we had to give them a firm foundation so they would not – could not, be brainwashed!
