I believe at some point we all face the reality that we are mere mortal beings living an earthly life. Our lives here on Earth are only temporary, while our souls will live on as immortal beings. The problem comes when we ‘humans’ forget this reality as Truth and focus on the pain or happiness in the here and now. Those of us with the spirit tend to think or live differently. God has gifted us with His spirit. That’s why we don’t think the same way that people of this world think. As we live our earthly, temporal lives we strive to Christ-like, but understand that cannot happen without His spirit. You can’t buy or earn your way to becoming a born-again Christian. It’s a gift, offered through His grace as you mature in Him. You must truly seek to be One with Christ, often giving up your worldly desires. Mortality is only for the Earthly bodies we inhabit. The soul that lives within the body is immortal and will last forever. We mourn the dead only because we lose sight of their immortality. They are only gone from our sight – This too is only temporary. We will SEE them again as only the bodies are Mortal!

One of the hardest things about being a prophet is coming to an understanding that God will only reveal certain Things. I’m Not psychic! I don’t have magical brain powers, I only know what God tells me or allows me to have intuition about. Well about six months ago, we as a family received tragic news – my sister was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer. That day was hard, not just because of the diagnosis, it was another reminder of human realization. A reminder that no matter how close God and I are I’m merely a human with extra knowledge at certain times. It’s easier to comprehend when I don’t get advance notice, if it’s not someone that close to me. It hits me harder when it is. So why didn’t I have an intuitive thought or even a passing inclination? When my sister had appendicitis- I diagnosed her with barely any symptoms. She an an emergency appendectomy after hours of doctors probing because they didn’t believe that could be it because that’s not how her symptoms ’presented.’ She told them she Knew and just asked them to please check, when they finally agreed. This is my normal- how my life works! When I know – I Know! When I don’t know it frustrates me because Why wasn’t this important enough?! So I came to this conclusion that day as she and I were talking, God didn’t tell me ahead of time because it’s a battle She has to face. Only She, herself, and God can help her through this. I firmly believe this is a bump, a lesson for her to take away a closer more intimate relationship with him. I had the opportunity to remind her this is Not a death sentence! We talked about things “I’ve known in the past and why wouldn’t He prepare Me for this – to maybe help prepare her?” I reminded her how God had prepared me for my beloved dogs death for two years. He knew how I would grieve. How hard that would be for me. She was my second child, she was my comfort when the whole world turned against me (or so I felt – don’t we all have those moments) So I reminded my sister, if this was a death sentence I’m certain I would have at least had an inclination that this could be a diagnosis! How could He prepare my heart for two years for the loss of my dog, when you are so much more important. This is a struggle we’ll all face and deal with, this is your journey and I think it’s time for you to turn ALL your worries over to him. Realize you can’t do this alone, but only He alone is the ultimate Healer! He’s got you in the palm of his hand. We can walk this together, but there will be days it’ll only be Him you cry out to!

It’s beyond comprehension how life brings us such highs generally followed by severe lows. I found more of my writings from 2012 today; today In 2021 is a somber day as I learn of another untimely death of a young soul. My heart aches for his family just as it aches for all of those taken to soon. My Writing from 2012 speaks of how that morning I read an article about how a mother of the Columbine school shooters prayed after she learned of what was happening. She learned her son was one of the shooters and prayed he would take his own life before he hurt anyone else that day. Then only a few hours later I came across a poem written by one of his victims that day.
Rachel Joy Scott wrote only days before her untimely death: “I’m drowning in my own lake of despair. I’m choking, my hands wrapped around my neck. I’m dying. Quickly my soul leaves, slowly my body withers. It isn’t suicide. I consider it homicide! The world you’ve created has led to my death!”
Let’s take a moment to reflect on her poem. How the truth rings through her words. So much death and sorrow has filled our world- the highs often become forgotten when the lows swoop in!

Proverbs 15:4 says Gentle words bring Life and Health; a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.

How often we speak harshly or too quickly and someone gets hurt. Take a moment before you speak to reflect on the words before you say them.
Too often we find there is No more time, no other instance to take it back.
Too many gone to soon!
I pray for All the mothers and fathers that have lost a child! May God give rest to your mind and grace to your heart! Such sorrow brings anguish to the soul. I have no words of comfort, but I will trust in the Lord that he’s building an army of young souls for a very special purpose beyond our human minds consumption!

It’s always nice to feel safe. Often we wonder where is our ‘safe space’. You find yours, I find mine, but we neglect the knowledge that we can Always feel safe in God’s arms. The Psalms speak of being rescued from our enemies. How He protects us from those set out to destroy us. They speak of God tracking our sorrows and collecting our tears. He calls for us to lay our burdens on Him and He will take care of you. There is truly a reward for those who live for God. He will Not permit the Godly to slip and fall. Lamentations tells us to Rise during the night and cry out. Pour your heart out like water. Let your tears flow like a river and Lift-up your hands in prayer. God says in Acts to take off your shoes for you are standing on Holy ground. God promised to raise up a Prophet like me from among your own people. Don’t run like your ancestors or leave your native land! Stand on this Holy Ground and proclaim Your God for you are the descendants of the Old Testament. If you have been brought here You Are a descendant of an ancestor mentioned in 1 Chronicles! Take a moment and let that sink in.
Faith is the first factor in a life devoted to service. Only those who see the invisible can do the impossible! Don’t fret or worry – Instead Pray! The Peace of God is an Eternal calm. Give it All to God and Just Breathe! Learn to rest in Him. Never be afraid of what lies ahead because He is already there. Let go and Just Breathe!

While waiting is hard; being a prophet of God is Hard! A time when so many seek answers and so many suffer, we sit and watch just waiting for our next go ahead sign.
The year 2020 has come and gone. A year when so many lives changed, lives were lost and many lost Hope! A new year is upon us and a new message has come. My longing and waiting was met with a distant Writing I had forgotten about. Something written quite a while ago, yet was pushed aside and told to be held for another time.

Beware lest Satan will deceive you, just as he deceived Eve in the beginning. He was a murderer from the start. He has Always hated the Truth because there is No truth in Him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies. We are often deceived by our own mind, heart and thoughts most of all. The Truth in Scripture is proven: ‘More than anything else, a persons mind is evil.’ Ask yourself this – How many times have you said “I’ll never do that again!”? Only to turn around and do it again?! A person can search the depths of their heart and mind only to discover there are even farther depths that have not been reached. Solomon once said, ‘He who trusts his own heart is a fool.’ Many a weeping wife has said ‘He is good at heart.’ The truth is that in lies the worst part of him. From the heart comes the issues of Life – Christ says ‘For from within, out of the heart of man, proceeds evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride and foolishness!’ This is the main reason that God told us in the Holy Book not to be equally yoked together with unbelievers.
To those reading, please remember if you want to avoid divorce in your life, everything you do or say starts with a thought seed in your mind and in your heart. There is a spiritual battle in the mind of every human being on earth. It is a battle of good vs evil. – A battle between the Holy Spirit and Satan. The choice is Always yours – God created each of Us with Free Will- meaning He’s given You the power to choose! Understand this battle of good and evil is about your Life, Your marriage and where your Soul will spend eternity!
God has lead me to Galatians Chapter 5. Read these sacred words – not only with your Eyes, but with your Heart and Soul – for Your Life, your Family and your Eternity are at stake!

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve written because I’ve been waiting on the right words, the right timing, or maybe just the knowledge I’m on the right path. I know I’m doing Gods will, but what’s the hold up – No matter what I read, what I study or what I pray – I’m met with nothing. The silence can be deafening. What I’ve concluded is It’s time to WAIT, have patience And focus. Here’s what I found…..

WAIT

Desperately, helplessly, longingly, I cried:

Quietly, patiently, lovingly, God replied

I pled and I wept for a clue to my fate……

And the Master so gently said, ‘WAIT’

“Wait? You say Wait?” my indignant reply

“Lord, I need answers, I need to know WHY?”

Is your hand shortened? Or have you not heard?

By Faith I have asked, and I’m claiming your Word.

“My future and all to which I relate hangs in the balance

And you tell me to Wait?”

I’m needing a ‘yes,’ a go- ahead sign.

Or even a ‘no,’ to which I’ll resign.

You promised, dear Lord, that if we believe,

We need but to ask, and we shall receive.

Lord, I’ve been asking, and this is my cry:

‘I’m weary of asking! I need a reply!’

Then quietly, softly, I learned of my fate,

As my Master replied again, “Wait.”

So I slumped in my chair, defeated and taut and grumbled to God,

“So I’m waiting……. For What????”

He seemed then to kneel, and His eyes met with mine…..

and He tenderly said ‘I could give you a sign.

I could shake the heavens and darken the sun.

I could raise the dead and cause the mountains to run.

I could give all you seek and pleased you would be.

You’d have what you want, but you Wouldn’t Know ME.’

You’d not know the depth of my love for each saint.

You’d not know the power that I give to the faint.

You’d not learn to See through the clouds of despair;

You’d not learn to Trust just by knowing I’m there.

You’d not know the Joy of resting in Me,

When darkness and silence are all you can see.

You’d never experience the fullness of love,

When the peace of My Spirit descends like a dove.

You would Know that I give, and I save, for a start,

But you’d Not know the depth of the beat of My Heart.

The glow of My comfort late into the night,

The faith that I give when you walk without sight.

The depth that’s beyond getting just what you ask

From an infinite God who makes what you have last.

You’d never know should your pain quickly flee,

What it means that My Grace is sufficient for Thee.

Yes, your dearest dreams overnight would come true,

But, oh, the loss, if you missed what I’m doing In You.

So, be silent, my child, and in time you will see

That the greatest of gifts is to Truly Know ME.

And though oft My answers seem terribly late,

My most precious answer of All is still……..

“WAIT!!!!”

Be grateful for what you have. Show gratitude or appreciation to align your consciousness more closely with the abundance you are looking for.
Starting a new thing is usually easy because we have lots of emotions to help us. New things are exciting and typically everyone cheers us on. When we accomplish or reach our destination we are excited, But what about the middle? Joyce Meyer speaks of this in her book ‘Change your words, Change your life.’ It was in the middle of the disciples journey when they experienced the storm. They started fine and ended fine, but the realized they Needed more faith in the middle. Joyce quotes, “I like to say, ‘Faith is for the middle of Our journeys in Life.’” We never know how long each of our journeys will take – Experience will teach you – your journey will almost Always take longer than you expect!
Personally for me I learned to remove expectations from my life. The more I would expect the more disappointment it seemed I faced. Expectations are like negative thoughts – they almost always manifest disappointment. Negative thoughts create negative energies. We must embrace what is – Appreciate what we have, while we have it – Nothing lasts forever! Gratitude creates positivity – Positive energy creates Positive thoughts and Positive thoughts lead to love and appreciation!
The world Needs Love and Unity, not Hate and Division! Stop expecting something for nothing! Learn to be careful with what you hate! If you don’t like the weather, you know you can’t change it; so change your attitude about it! Learn to change what you can and Have the Wisdom to know what you can’t change!
Learn to Love everything, except Evil. Learn to know and understand the difference between hate and evil – They are very different. A hate filled heart can be taught to love through compassion! The more you are filled with positive/loving thoughts – the more you’ll speak loving words and the Happier You Will Be! Seek Faith amidst the journey – Find Love and Peace along the way!

Consider how things are going! You wish for rich harvests, yet the harvests are poor. While you were busy building fine homes, the Lords house fell into ruins! The Lords prophet, Haggai sends a message from the Lord – I am with you, says the Lord! For this is what the Lord Almighty says – In just a little while I will again shake the heavens and the Earth. I will shake the nations and all the treasures of all the nations will return to the Temple. The future glory of the Temple will be greater than its past glory – I, the Almighty Lord, have spoken!
Zechariah 10 – The Lord WILL Restore HIS people! Household Gods give false advice, fortune tellers predict only lies, and interpreters of dreams pronounce comfort less falsehoods. So many people wander around like lost sheep without a shepherd to protect or guide them. The Lord’s anger burns against your shepherds; the leaders will be punished! The Lord Almighty has arrived to look after HIS flock!
2 Samuel 10:12 – Be courageous! Let us fight bravely to save our people and the cities of our Lord! May the Lord’s Will be Done!
2 Samuel 2:5 – May the Lord bless you for being loyal – May the Lord be loyal to you in return!

*I have held many things in my hands and I have lost them all, but whatever I have placed in God’s hands – that I still possess. – Martin Luther
*If we really fully belong to God, then we must be at HIS disposal and we must Trust HIM. We must never be preoccupied with the future. There is No reason to be for God is already there. – Mother Teresa

So the time has come for me to Reveal the real truth. My True calling. I didn’t realize God would have me tell you so blatantly, but my struggles lead me to a place So few get to experience. Even those who are baptized in the Spirit of the Lord rarely get to experience a Real daily dialogue with HIM. We All have a way to understand God in the Spirit; to hear Him with our Heart. However, I’ve been blessed with the ability to truly Hear Him, not just with my heart, but with my ears. The earthly realm and the heavenly realm are so distinctly divided, yet intertwined so magnificently. He sends me messages He wishes for me to relay, in my writings I can feel His Love, His Anger or His sadness. It’s something I wish
I could let everyone really feel – I mean really feel! I have No idea, why He chose me or what makes me different in this way. I AM a sinner – I curse way too often; I have bad habits; I’m not the nicest person and I really don’t feel true empathy. By all accounts that should make me Unqualified! One thing I’ve learned through All my bad decisions, addiction and mental illness struggles is that God doesn’t seek the Best of the Best – He genuinely calls forth the weakest, most unqualified souls! He seeks the Sinners, the doubters, the unfaithful. He pushes and pulls until One either blocks Him out or opens their Heart! I gave in to HIM and the world that opened up to me was something so unexpected! I’m Not perfect and will Never claim to be – I am Me – The Imperfect born again Christian, who believes the Lord is greater than All! He truly doesn’t even care what you call HIM, just know that HE is here and waiting for you! I have clear messages sent by His Spirit that I want everyone to understand Are Not from me. I will continue to post my own writings, but some will be direct messages from HIM. So please ‘don’t shoot the messenger’! I am simply here to perpetuate The Truth!

We can not prevent people from saying things we don’t want to hear, but it is your choice whether you choose to allow their words to resonate within Your soul or if we will choose to allow their words to flow out the same way they came in. No one can change your destiny with their words unless you allow it! Learning to stand on the promises of Gods words gives your soul renewed strength. The Word of God is all you need to defeat the enemy you face. Just repeat His verses, those that will give your soul renewed Hope & Strength! Everyday in every situation you are faced with a choice – You must face negative thoughts and the negative words of others, but by speaking Gods Words – You are wielding the sword of the Spirit. And that is how you slay your demons! Use these or research your own – God will lead you to the ones you need in your personal journey. However, these are always good to hold in your heart:

I can Do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me! (Philippians 4:13)

I am strong in the Lord and the power of HIS might; I draw my strength from Him! (Ephesians 6:10)

God is my Helper – The Lord is He who keeps me alive (Psalm 54:4)

(Paraphrased) – Do not be afraid, my servant, do not be dismayed – For I will bring you home again – declares the Lord (Jeremiah 30:10)

There will be many storms along your path as God uses these to strengthen your faith and help you grow in Godly character. Remember All things work out to the Good for those who Believe. The storms of life become easier on us if we can immediately say ’Something good will come from this – Stand strong and a have Faith!’
