The victory is coming. God is on your side. We All know and face heartache and disappointments, but God says Take Heart and Hold On – Victory is coming. Even when you feel the whole world is against you and darkness all around. There is a light that envelops you, but it comes from within. A Living Faith – a hold on your heart – you never knew before. Be kind and patient with yourself. There are no short cuts to spirituality. Growing fruit takes time. It’s a Living Faith that grows with time. Don’t fret or worry – Instead Pray! The peace of God is an eternal calm. Before you know it- a sense of God’s wholeness will envelop you. You’ll feel the stillness in your soul. An eternal calm that only a living God through Living Faith can offer. The peace that God offers is an eternal calm, which lies to deep to be reached without growth in Living Faith. You can have it – He offers it to everyone, but only You can find it by growing your own spirituality. God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself – because there is No such thing.

Do you hear the knocking? Jesus is there – can you see him? We miss the meeting because of course We do NOT hear and we cannot see. We want our prayers, our questions – answered now! However, when we sin we want to await the judgements for generations. We must often feel that because God doesn’t answer or give immediate judgment, then, that must mean there is no God?! That’s not the Truth – God is there; He is knocking, yet you cannot hear. Mostly because the World has blocked out His sound. There are those that believe there is No God. They have made a conscience or naive decision to choose that as their truth. Maybe they’ve been exposed to the hypocritical Christian?! Those that sit in church on Sunday, but cannot quote one Bible verse or those that claim religion or Christianity with their mouths, but contradict their words with their actions. Actions speak louder than words. God is willing for us to suffer to get our attention – to teach us how to live! We were born into this world with an innate nature bent away from God. We were born with rebellion and ignorance to Gods word. For as we grow what is nurtured in us becomes a part of our nature/character. We are born weak, rebellious, and most often stubborn. With that said it’s easy to drown out the knocking. He is knocking on the door to your heart; will you let Him in?

Today can be your day of Salvation! Ask Him to cleanse you of your sins, to open your mind and change your heart. Then the door will begin to open – how wide or how far it opens is up to you! The more you read and study His word You Will (not might) begin to watch the change in your life. You’ll even notice a change in those around you because of your growth. As Truth comes to Light – understand there is only One True Living God and His One and Only SON, Jesus Christ, that came to save our souls through His death!

As I type, I understand that God is at work. He uses me to spread HIS word. He has aligned my soul to the Spirit – The HOLY SPIRIT. I am about to reveal something that only HE can share and is NOT for the Meek. Please know and understand that I, Crystal, have a gift that he bestowed upon me and continues to grow in me. I allow the SPIRIT to use what is called automatic writing to commandeer the relayed message. My mind and Heart are pure – God’s one and only spirit can live in you and through you; if you allow. He sits on the throne above all- He sees and experiences ALL. He knows your trouble – the worlds trouble – the plights you fight! Your soul is Yours, but can you allow him to commandeer you too? The only way to get the Spirit is to relinquish your life to HIM. He can’t use an unwilling subject. You have been gifted with Free Will for your Whole life – God shall Never interfere with that. YOU must choose for yourself, whom you will live for – God or the World.

I’ve been given the keys back…… The above seems like a message we have all read or heard before. I read it over and over and see that HE capitalizes NOT for the Meek. What must He mean – it’s an easy read and easy to understand at least upon Human thought and consumption. However, knowing what I have had to give up and what I continue to endure as I deliver His messages and reveal my truth even to my loved ones- I can personally attest that what He is saying and asking is NOT an easy task. Can you shoulder your cross and walk with Him daily? Spend time forsaking yourself and your loved ones to be at His beck and call, whenever He presses upon you to step outside your comfort zone? I am constantly aware that He calls me to talk to strangers; reprimand my closest loved ones; reach out to old friends (whom I may not have talked to in years) to deliver messages that I know will be hard to hear and most certainly hard to deliver. Growing in Spiritual Maturity is NOT for the Meek (or the weak minded). It’s hard, very hard and often a daily struggle.

To quote Jesus from the bible, when approached by a naysayer – I will follow you no matter where you go! He replies ‘pick up your cross, leave all your possessions and do not look back and you can follow me’. The naysayer says, ‘but let me tell my family, let me bury my dead,’ Jesus says, ‘if you must do all these things ‘first’ then you are not fit to be my follower’ I’ve probably paraphrased that a bit, but you will find the passage in (Luke 9:57-62 ~ The Cost of Following Jesus). How harsh does that sound and from Jesus no less? Wow, how that person must have felt! That’s how you Will feel at times when you choose to follow Jesus – its not an easy road at times and you will face hardships and struggles even on His path. Just know that He guarantees It Will be Worth all the Heartache you Suffer!

We all desire something. Fill in the blank of what you want (or desire). With lack of Love of God (for God) we may want for this desired thing for a long time. Even with HIS Love the longing can remain – Some of God’s greatest gifts are unanswered prayers. Our desires, may not actually be His desire for our lives. We may not really Need them to fulfill the void we feel. It is never wise to bargain with God for your worldly desires. Alot of time we cry out in desperation- Lord I’ll do this, if you only grant this one wish (or desire.) It is wrong to negotiate with the Lord. He is Almighty, yet Sovereign, Great in Might and Righteousness! Though His Grace can fill that void without ever granting your ‘wish.’ Your desire can be fleeting. Pray mostly for His Will in your life and those you love! He knows greater than even you, what your Heart desires. The Best thing is He already knows whether that Desire is truly what is Best for you! When all we hear or feel is silence, know that God is Not forsaking you – He is preparing YOU! Preparation requires Patience and Real understanding of His word! When all you hear, see or feel is absence, loneliness or a void – Fill your desire by Embracing His word. He will fulfill you and sustain you.

With all that’s been going on,  I’ve neglected this blog site and focused on God and family.  On November 9, 2021 God revealed this to me during a moment of struggle. 

You are Mine and I am Yours, said the Lord. For you are willing to bend and sacrifice your beliefs to discover Mine.  We are one because You were willing – you opened your Heart to an unknown being and allowed me in.  We became One.  I live through you- as you live through me.  There is no need for worldly desires; your riches are stored in Heaven.  You have your wants,  but I shall meet your needs.  Your heart is restless because you know everyone can have your peace with a willing heart.  Remind yourself – it is not yours to carry.  I alone give you peace – Rest your mind on my words.  Take Heart and hold on to the truths I have revealed to you and you alone.  I speak to you because you choose Me above All. When you hurt – you cry out – when you were lost – you sought Me.  It was there I found you and you found me.  Have peace in knowing my word stands Always and Above All. Nothing shall come to pass unless I decree it.  Take Heart and Be Strong for you are deeply loved by God!

Today I find myself yet again struggling with what to do,  when there’s nothing you can do! How to handle a broken situation that only God has control over. My heart aches because I’m human. My mind races because I’m human. I let my worries fall on HIS shoulders, but that doesn’t stop the hurt or helplessness. I hope this may land you at HIS feet, if you are feeling like me. Find Rest and Peace in His word!

There is a difference between Religion and Christianity.

Religion is man’s attempt to reach God.

Christianity is Jesus/God’s attempt to reach man.

They are different in so many aspects, but the fundamental truth is that both teach God is Real, but one may understand Religion dictates how one must seek God. This is far from the truth of Christianity, which allows each of us to reach God right where we are. Even in our brokenness – we don’t have to follow religious doctrines. (Watch for the Post when I reveal how I came to this knowledge)

Jesus said the way, the truth, the life is found through Him alone. Read that Again!!

Abraham Lincoln, General Robert E. Lee, Albert Schweizer, Calvin Coolidge, and even Christopher Columbus believed the Bible. Calvin Coolidge a sitting US president between (1923-1929) said ‘the foundations of our society and our government rest so much on the teachings of the Bible that it would be difficult to support them if faith in these teachings would cease to be practically universal in our country.’ Understand what he is saying here – if our society and/or government cease to adhere to Biblical faith, in which our country was founded – we will cease to support the foundations which, in effect will cause our country to crumble. Abraham Lincoln (1861-1865) stated ‘we have been recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has grown, but we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hands that preserved us…..We have vainly imagined in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that All these blessings were produced by virtue of our own! Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God who made us.

Congress put out a statement in 1983 to proclaim it as the ‘Year of the Bible’ … the Bible, the Word of God, has made a unique contribution in shaping the United States as a studding and blessed nation and people…. Deeply held religious convictions springing from the Holy Scriptures led to the early settlement of our nation… Biblical teachings inspired concepts of civil government that are contained in our Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. (Public Law 97-280) (Scientific Facts in the Bible)

Readiness to believe or understand the differences between Religion and Christianity is very important. Until they themselves feel the need to acknowledge real truths within the Bible not their denomination – they will most likely remain lost. Religion is Not about the Bible.

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!
