In 2002 God gave me a dream.  In the dream I was walking among many forms (I assumed people) wrapped up in white blankets (shrouds) and each of them had what looked like a life support line running from them.  I had to be careful where I walked as the lines were running along the floor and I knew if I stepped on one, I would cut off that person’s life support.  I was very tired and felt that I had to get some fresh air in order to stay awake.

When I got outside, there was a stairway beside the wall of the building.  In order to get to where I could see out, I had to climb the stairs to the roof.  The life-lines of the people ran onto the steps too, so I decided that the best way to get to the roof was on my hands and knees with the lines placed over my shoulder.  When I got to the top, there was a river at my feet.

A voice spoke and told me to step into the water.  I couldn’t for I am unable to swim and I feared I would drown.  The voice spoke again and I felt such a need to step down into the water.  I did and I was instantly pulled under the warm water, yet I didn’t have any fear for I knew there was someone holding me and I knew I was safe.  I was pulled/pushed through the water very rapidly and then suddenly came to a stop.

I rose up from the water and was in a place of intense quietness and all around me was a glowing, beautiful blue light.  I heard the voice again and it called me to come and look.  I moved to the edge of the water and looked down onto a suspended world.  It was like a globe that turned and I saw every continent and then the voice said, “You shall proclaim My truth to the nations of the world.”  And then the dream was over.

The dream has stayed clear before me all these years.  In 2007, I felt I was to begin a webpage and out of the blue I received an email from a man who became the one who set up the webpage (see  www.willtheseboneslive.com ) and he also monitored all the business of getting the weekly messages out to many around the world.  I wrote these weekly messages until November, 2011.

I started this blog in January or so of 2011 and write as Holy Spirit leads.  Today I was thinking about how God moves in each of our lives to get us to the place where He wants us.  I guess that place is when we all “appear in the likeness of Jesus, His Son.”  🙂  I am quite certain I still have some distance to travel to get to that place; however, as I thought about where I was in 2002 and looked at the difference in my thoughts, etc. today; I see where God has brought about significant changes.  I was just listening to the Casting Crown CD, “COME TO  THE WELL” and one particular song grabbed my attention (click onto it at beginning of this blog).  It reminded me once again of the dream God put into my heart.

I have a deep sense of urgency for those who do not yet know Jesus as their Lord and Savior.  Time is running out for those of you who don’t know Him, for those of you who did once have a relationship with Him and it has been neglected by you; for those who have been discouraged, or distracted by the cares of this world.  I feel that you are some of the life lines I am to carry to the feet of Jesus; for an INFILLING or REFILLING of His LIFE.  Last night, an acquaintance of my husband’s went home to find that his wife was not feeling well.  As the evening went on, she became worse and he finally took her to the emergency room.  Tests were run, but her condition continued to deteriorate: she died.  She leaves behind a husband and four young children.  It could have been you.  Are you ready to die?  Do you feel you are ready to meet God face to face?  God’s Word is True and it is Eternal.  Do you know whether you will have eternal LIFE or are you facing eternal DEATH (yes, hell is real according to God’s Word … even if we don’t hear it mentioned much anymore).  I encourage you to CHOOSE LIFE! 

God bless you as you continue your journey IN CHRIST!  🙂

Jesus Loves Me

And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?  (Matthew 21: 16) 

Please listen to the children:  http://youtu.be/KBALcN701NU

It’s all right to be human.  When your mind wanders while you are praying, don’t be surprised or upset.  Simply return your attention onto Jesus.  Share a secret smile with Him, knowing He understands because He sees your heart.  Rejoice in His love for you, which has no limits or conditions.

Intersperse peaceful moments throughout your day for this practice enables you to attain a quiet and gentle spirit, which is pleasing to our heavenly Father.  As you learn to live in close contact with the Lord, the Light of His Presence will filter through you to bless others.  Your weakness and woundedness are openings through which the Light of God’s glory shines forth.  God’s Word says, “My strength is made perfect in (your) weakness (2 Corinthians 12: 9).  Be strong and courageous.  Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; He will NEVER leave you nor forsake you” (Deuteronomy 31: 6)! 

The Lord would say unto you…

“I want you to be all Mine.  I am weaning you from other dependencies.  Your security rests in Me alone– not in other people, things, or circumstances.  I am always before you, beckoning you on, one step at a time.  Trust Me to know what is best for you; I created you because I love you and have a plan for every day of your life!”

I WILL REMEMBER

And God said,  This is the token of the covenant which I make between you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations; I do set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between Me and the earth.

 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud; and I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. 

And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the EVERLASTING COVENANT between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.  And God said unto Noah,  This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between Me and all flesh that is upon the earth. (Genesis 9: 12-17)

Many of you have read previous messages I have written regarding God’s blessing my husband and I with rainbows wherever and whenever we travel.  On our recent trip, there was a rainbow in the sky every single day of the trip (7 days )!  His rainbow brings a smile to our hearts because we see it as God’s confirmation that His Presence and protection surrounds us.

Over the next couple messages I hope to discuss Noah and the flood in relation to God’s ETERNAL covenant with mankind.  I am presently doing a word study of key words in Genesis 7: 24 – Genesis 9: 22 and as always, I am awed by God’s amazing and eternal love for us.

In today’s passage of Scripture, the word “flesh” pops out.  In Hebrew (1320) it is ‘basar ‘ from 1319 and it means:  (from its freshness); by extens. body, person; also (by euphem.) the pudenda of a man–body, (fat, lean) flesh(ed), kin, (man) kind+ nakedness, self, skin . 

*** (Hb. 1319):  a prim. root;  prop. to be fresh, i.e. FULL (rosy, cheerful), to ANNOUNCE (glad news), messenger, preach, publish, shew forth (bear, bring, carry, preach, good, tell good) tidings!  It seems to me that it is what I am doing right now…publishing and bringing the Good Tidings (God’s Word) to each of you!  🙂

God is faithful; He never leaves nor forsakes His own… and He has given the rainbow as one of His manifested reminders.

However, when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.  And because ye are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba Father, wherfore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ (Galatians 4: 4-7).  God has shown us the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.  For it is by grace we are saved through FAITH; and that not of ourselves; it is the gift of God!  ALL the promises of God in Him are “Yes” and in Him “Amen,” unto the glory of God by us!

“Lord, I want to do my part in our covenant relationship; I desire to have faith that prays persistently, chooses righteousness, encourages fellow believers, helps Your kingdom, and follows You faithfully.  Help me and all my brothers and sisters (in You) find strength for today and hope for tomorrow as we sail into the future You have prepared for each of us.  Thank You for Your faithfulness, Father.”

SAVING LIGHT

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.  (James 1: 17)

Here we are, a New Year; thank You, LORD!  Many people throughout history have marked this year as “cataclysmic”.  It’s hard to even spell or pronounce this word, but the meaning of it is pretty clear:  violent upheaval or disaster; great change. 

For many, the actual meaning of this could be manifested in any one of our lives at any given moment.  Let’s look at “upheaval” which means violent change or disruption.  One of the meanings of disaster is, sudden, or great misfortune.  CHANGE: making or becoming different, difference from previous state; substitution of one for another; variety or variation; make or become different.

Change is a fact of life.  It can be on a personal or global level; it can be a positive or a negative experience; it can happen in a matter of seconds or can occur slowly, over many years.  Most of us will probably look at any change from the perspective of how it will directly affect our life as it was before the event.  A few will then look more globally to family, community, and country, etc.  Whatever the change and no matter how you perceive the change; it WILL CHANGE your “comfort” level.

However, change also opens up the doors to NEW OPPORTUNITIES.  The definition of the word OPPORTUNE is, well-chosen or especially favorable; well-timed.  Opportunity is good chance, favorable occasion; chance or opening offered by circumstances (Oxford dictionary).  WOW!!!  This puts a whole NEW LIGHT on the year 2012, doesn’t it?

There are many passages in God’s Word where He tells us to “FEAR NOT.”  Because He is ETERNAL, He KNEW/KNOWS right where we would be /are any given moment so we must CHOOSE whether we BELIEVE His written Word.  According to the verse above (James 1: 17) He only gives good and perfect gifts to His joint-heirs and that fits right into the definition of opportunity, don’t you agree?

Well, as a few of you already know, God put two particular words into my spirit for 2012 that go along with the many opportunities He is going to provide for all who believe.   The words are:  PERSEVERE and FAITHFUL.  It is a message for all of you in the body of Christ and I pray that it will speak to your spirit in a special way and bring you incredible PEACE as you face your moments of opportunity in 2012:  “BECAUSE HE LIVES…http://youtu.be/dOZ6dQhGcCw“

The LORD would say unto you this day…

“Draw nearer to Me with a pure and sincere heart in full assurance of faith.  Hold unswervingly to the Hope you profess that is according to all that I have revealed to you through My Word.  These words are trustworthy and true.  I am Faithful, I am True.  Encourage one another, work and pray together in unity and with love, for the day is coming when your love for Me and for others will be greatly tried and tested.  Stand your ground in the face of any suffering and persecution holding on and fixing your eyes on Me.  I am your strength when you are weary.  I will lighten your heart with peace and joy.  It is by faith you will stand.  Take heed to what I have told you for the hour has come for perseverance.  Stay ready for Me, watch and pray!  What I say to you, I say to all: Watch!”

I pray for God’s abundant BLESSING to be fulfilled in each of your lives and your ministry according to His “ETERNAL” plan, in Jesus name.

World Framed By His Word

Rejoice in the LORD; praise the LORD; sing unto Him a new song!

For the word of the Lord is right; and all His works are done in truth.  He loveth righteousness and judgment:  the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.  By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.  He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap; He layeth up the depth in storehouses. 

Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.  For He spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. 

The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to naught:  He maketh the devices of the people of none effect.  The counsel of the LORD standeth forever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations.  BLESSED is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.  (from Psalm 33)

God has given me some thoughts for the coming year, 2012.  I will be sharing them with you in a day or so.  The title and the passage chosen today can be considered as an introduction to the word Holy Spirit is bringing together in my spirit these past several days.  God BLESS you this moment in this day!

GLORY TO GOD

In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.  In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation (the atoning sacrifice) for our sins. 

When the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. 

The Word became flesh and dwealt among us, and we BEHELD HIS GLORY, the glory as the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.  Great is the mystery of godliness; God was manifested in the flesh (Titus 3: 4; Jeremiah 31: 3; 1 John 4: 9, 10; Galatians 4: 4, 5; John 1: 14; 1 Timothy 3: 16).

This Christmas Eve afternoon, my dog, Yoshi and I went for our walk.  Neighbors were fishing by the (Yoshi’s) pond so in order to keep the peace between man and dog, I took a different path.  Yoshi was running about trying to pick up the scent of deer and I was looking around and then up.  The sky was beautiful!  I really believe God revealed some of the angels of heaven to me this afternoon.  The pictures I captured via my phone can not do justice to what I saw.  I thank You, Lord, for Your love.

Christmas blessings to you and yours!

God Is In Control

John 1: 1-16 … In the beginning (before all time) was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself.  He was present originally with God.  All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being. (read Hebrews 11: 3) In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men.  The people who walked in darkness have seen a great Light; those who dwelt int he land of intense darkness and the shadow of death, upon them the Light shined (Isaiah 9: 2; and read 2 Cor. 4: 3-6).  And the Light shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it (put it out or absorbed it or appropriated it).  (read Ephesians 5: 8, Philippians 2: 15; Revelation 21: 23-26)  There it was– the true Light coming into the world (the genuine, perfect, steadfast Light) that illumines every person.  (read Isaiah 49: 6)

For unto US a Child is born, to US a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father (of Eternity), Prince of Peace.  Of the increase of His government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from the (latter) time forth, even forevermore.  The ZEAL of the Lord of hosts will perform this (Isaiah 9: 6, 7).

And Joseph also went up from Galilee from the town of Nazareth to Judea, to the town of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, to be enrolled with Mary, his espoused wife, who was about to become a mother.  (read Matthew 1: 20-23)  And she gave birth to her Son, her Firstborn; and she wrapped Him in swaddling clothes and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room or place for them in the inn.  (read Isaiah 9: 13; John 1: 10, 11; Rev. 9: 20, 21; 11: 10; 16: 9;, 11, 21)  And in the vicinity there were shepherds living in the field, watching over their flock by night.  And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord (shone about them), and they were terribly frightened.  But the angel said to them, Do NOT be afraid; for behold I bring you GOOD NEWS of great JOY which will come to ALL the people.  For to YOU IS born THIS DAY  a Savior, Who is Christ (the Messiah) the Lord!  (read Mark 1: 1; Luke 1: 78, 79)  (Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming–in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning–lest, coming suddenly, He find you sleeping.  And what I say to you, I say to all:  Watch!  Mark 13: 35-37).  Then suddenly there appeared with the angel an army of the troops of heaven (a heavenly knighthood) PRAISING GOD and saying, Glory to God in the highest (heaven), and on earth PEACE among men with whom He is well pleased (of His favor). (read John 13: 34, 35) 

So the shepherds said to one another, Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing (saying) that has come to pass, which the LORD HAS MADE KNOWN TO US.  SO THEY WENT WITH HASTE and (by searching) found Mary and Joseph, and the Baby lying in a manger.  And WHEN THEY SAW it, THEY MADE KNOWN what had been told them concerning THIS CHILD  (read Matthew 28: 17-20; Mark 16: 15; Romans 10: 8-18).  And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace (favor and spiritual blessing) of God was upon Him (Luke 2: 40). 

And then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse (appeared)!  The One Who was riding it is called Faithful (Trustworthy, Loyal, Incorruptible, Steady) and True, and He passes judgment and wages war in righteousness (holiness, justice, and uprightness)… He is dressed in a robe dyed by dipping in blood, and the title by which He is called is THE WORD OF GOD.  And the TROOPS  (us) of heaven, clothed in fine linen, dazzling and clean (read 2 Pet 3: 14),  followed Him on white horses.  From His mouth goes forth a sharp sword  (read Heb. 4: 12, 13) with which He can smite (afflict, strike) the nations; and He will shepherd and control them with a staff (rod) of iron.  He will tread the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath and indignation of God the All-Ruler (Almighty).  And on His garment and on His thigh He has a name inscribed, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS  (Revelation 19: 11-16)!  Hallelujah! 

God BLESS you this PROMISE-FULFILLED season… look with EXPECTANCY in this moment, into all the moments you have, to see and to touch the Glory of His indwelling Presence!  JESUS CHRIST (the Messiah) IS (ALWAYS) THE SAME, yesterday, today (YES) and forever (Heb. 13: 8).  ETERNAL LIFE; our everyday for always gift, through Christ…Thank You, Father!
