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

"AND HE WALKS WITH ME AND HE TALKS WITH ME!

November 10, 2023, Friday

So just to show how much our Heavenly Father loves spending time with each of us... I have been doing prayer walks for a year and half each morning with the Lord and examining myself daily [there always seems to be places I fall short] and during this time I have only been rained out 1 time, and never missed a walk, but he cleared the sky at church that day so I could walk there.  I have fallen down due to my Border collie, Hannah wrapping herself around me or chasing a dog, car, bunnie, squirrel, three times, once when I got home from church and went to let dogs/cats out of my room, Hannah tripped me and I crashed to floor. All of these 4 falls only the Lord was there with me, seemingly saying: "Oh no you won't,  not on my watch/walk!"  Several times people let their dogs run free and they always come up to me and sniff me but I commit myself into the Lord's hands, and so far the dogs will leave me [I learned also from Cesar Millan... "no talk, no touch, no eye contact" and hey, it works every time!] Of course when you have the creator of all things along with you, it helps!  I have met many people in my Vernon View community and been praying for them all daily. My dogs look forward each morning on greeting the bus kids before getting on the bus and I am able to love, encourage them.  

I wanted to share this with you hoping it will inspire each one to find a spot in your day to spend time with your Heavenly Father, as he loves it! I am also 75 years old so ... no excuses, except unable to.  Just saying...what He does for others, He'll do for you!  God bless you and I hope this will encourage you to try it!

Vision of Bride, Jesus perspective!

 Sunday, October 29, 2023

During the morning service this past Sunday, I had a vision of the Bride of Christ from the Lord's perspective.  I saw the Lord descending and stop, as he caught a glimpse of his bride that filled the sky with her stunning gown and bridal veil, representing the righteousness of the saints, as she had made herself ready.   He was filled with inexpressible joy, love and wept from the sight of her!  At last the day he had longed for had finally arrived and here she was waiting in the clouds, gloriously transformed, now finally together for ever, ready for the marriage supper and the place he has prepared for her.  

This reminded me of my own wedding day as my husband stood for about 45 minutes at the alter, waiting for his bride to walk down the isle. My parents had gotten lost on I-285 so we all waited for their arrival [no cell phones either!] so my father could walk me down the isle to be joined to my soon to be, very handsome husband.  When I joined him at the alter, he stood there crying as I was finally handed over to him, finally to be joined together, as the waiting was now over. This is what I thought about as I experienced this glorious vision, l I felt was from the Lord's view point. 

SCRIPTURES:

[Rev 21:1-11 KJV] 1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, [and be] their God. 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. 6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. 9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. 10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, 11 Having the glory of God: and her light [was] like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

[2Co 11:2 KJV] 2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present [you as] a chaste virgin to Christ.

[Jhn 3:29 KJV] 29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.

[Rev 22:17 KJV] 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

[Rom 12:5 KJV] 5 So we, [being] many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

[1Co 12:12, 18 KJV] 12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also [is] Christ. ... 18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.

Prophetic Word for Body of Christ – 

Nanci , my niece, and I were praying together this morning regarding a women’s prayer group, consisting of 16+ ladies that text each other and support through text messages.  While most have never met each other, a retreat is happening this weekend for this precious group of intercessors to join together and meet for the first time.  Instead of a prayer when it was my turn, the Lord spoke the following (which I feel applies to the world wide body of Christ) so I am sharing it with all who will take the time to prayerfully ponder:

The Lord says:  My Word says that when two or three are gathered in my name, I am among you.  Do you not recall when I said, and they said: Lord, when did we see you hungry, when did we see you thirsty, and when did we give you drink? It is written when you have done it unto the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me.  You are going to see ME in this body of believers in a different way then you see when you go to Sunday morning when you go to your church, because this is My body, it is collected from all aspects, from all different places – but this is what I see, when I look at my body.  It’s not just this church, it’s not just that church, its not that our fellowship is the best in this corner.  What you are going to see is MY Body – what you are going to see … you are going to see ME, you are going to hear ME, and you are going to hear me in places that you didn’t expect to see.  I am going to show you ME and the parts of this body as you come together, you are going to see ME as the head, and you are going to see the many parts of that body because I am going to show you – ME in this group.  You are going to have revelation, you are going to have discernment, and everyone that is there is getting ready to see what I see when I look at MY body.  You are going to see me move, you are going to feel it, sense it.  When you leave, you are going to know that this is the true body of Christ.  It does not depend upon a church building and a name.  This is the true body that I see when I look upon the earth in the times that you are living in right now.

SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:

[Rom 12:4 KJV] 4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:

Prophetic Word: Come out From among them!

Prophetic Word, August 1, 2023

Betty & Sharron:

I am getting ready to release a move of God on this planet and I’ve been setting my seed, I’ve been setting out my coals of fire around in places you know not.  You don’t know, and the enemy doesn’t know where they are right now because I am placing them there.  I have shielded them, I have protected them, but I am keeping that flame going because it is my flame, it is my fire that is in them. If the enemy knew where they were, he would kill, steal, and destroy.  Right now, he is looking – just like he did when the baby Jesus was born, he looked to destroy and just like he did the children of Israel, he went to look for the male children, and to kill all my sons. 

I have got these little coals of fire and they are all over, I am moving them.  They are in the process of being directed and moved.  Some of them don’t even know why they are being moved and things are happening the way they are happening.  Some people are going through things because there are balls and chains on them and they don’t even know that they are shut up in a prison cell, they are comfortable with the prison cell.  They are comfortable with the cell that is their life, but I want to open the door, I want to show them new things, I want to show them things that they know not.  If they will let me lead them out of that prison – eyes have not seen, nor ears heard, neither has it entered the hearts of man, those things that I have prepared for those that love me, and they are not all just physical stuff.  Some of its spiritual stuff.  If my people would walk out of these prisons that they have confined themselves to, but they just want their little normal life, they just want their little life to return to normal.  I just need them to know that their lives will never return to normal again.  Your normal life is in Heaven with me and that is why it is written, “Blessed in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his saints” because that is where you were created to be, what you were meant to be, the enemy got you side tracked through Adam and his fall, but to me it is a blessing, because once you come home the enemy cannot touch you.  You are out of his territory, and he knows that there is nothing he can do, and that is why from my point of view, “Blessed in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his saints.

SCRIPTURES:

[Isa 57:1-2 KJV] 1 The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth [it] to heart: and merciful men [are] taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil [to come]. 2 He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, [each one] walking [in] his uprightness.

[Psa 116:15 KJV] 15 Precious in the sight of the LORD [is] the death of his saints.

[Act 26:10 KJV] 10 Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against [them].

[Pro 25:22 KJV] 22 For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee.

[Eze 1:13 KJV] 13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance [was] like burning coals of fire, [and] like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.

[Eze 10:2 KJV] 2 And he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, [even] under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter [them] over the city. And he went in in my sight.

[Rom 12:20 KJV] 20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

Take My Yoke Upon You

Vision: Take My Yoke upon You and learn of Me!

Matthew 11:29 KJV — Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

Matthew 11:30 KJV — For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

I had a vision during our prayer team Sunday school class today. I saw the Lord with a yoke, like depicted in the bible, where two oxen are yoked together, pulling a large, heavy load, but on one side was the Lord standing with the yoke upon his shoulders and on the other side was a young man also with this yoke on as well. The kid was struggling but seemed surprised and pleased it was helping pull this impossible load and that it was really moving. I watched the Lord smile down, encouraging him to keep going saying: "I'm in here with you, and together, we can handle this!" 

What was apparent from my perspective was that the Lord was the one doing all the work and carrying most of the weight, and it was his strength that made the yoke easier and the burden lighter which encouraged this yoing man.
