Pray. There is a heaviness in the atmosphere that is going to take your full attention and require the whole armor of God. This is God’s war, but cover yourself for protection. 

he reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him. Daniel 2:22

March 17

There is a preacher that I check in on occasionally because he has prophetic dreams. I don’t say that lightly; he shared a dream in March of 2020, and by the end of the year, it had come true. I saved the video, and when I watched it again back in December, I was astounded by its accuracy. He hasn’t stopped dreaming. This morning, I decided to see if he’s heard anything new from the LORD, and he has. 

We all know there is something seriously wrong with our government, but remember, God sees it too. He verified this in his communication with this pastor. The dream involved a lot of information, but I’m only going to focus your attention on what I consider the main point. Near the end of the dream, a man in an expensive suit, a depiction of Jesus, went into the Oval Office of the White House and overturned the desk, and when he did, it revealed a huge bloodstain on the floor. The desk disappears, and the bloodstain burned a hole in the floor. 

Like Jesus in the temple, he overturned the table to reveal the corruption. I’m confident we are going to see this happen. Until then, we must keep our faith and hope in God alone. He is our source, not man.

Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; Romans 12:6

What does it mean to live a sacrificed life? As you work out your faith, consider the following verses:

1. I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 
2. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:1-2

When you do Romans 12:1, you become Romans 12:2.

Years ago, I learned that fasting or cutting certain things out of my diet was a tool to help me get closer to God, hear his voice more clearly, and maybe lose a couple of pounds in the process. I was probably more concerned with losing the pounds. But God, being the good Father that he is, was patient with me and showed me the benefit of drawing near to him by controlling my food intake. Now, I only have sugar on occasion; it seems to affect my brain the most, and I feel disconnected if I have too much.

At one point in my fasting journey, I cut out television for a time, and now I can live without it altogether. It is mind control at its finest!

I sacrifice my mornings to God. If my husband has to get up at seven a.m., I get up at five a.m. Seriously though, I’ve realized that it’s not a sacrifice when you draw near to God. 

I’m not telling you to go and do what I’ve done, but do work this out between you and God. I didn’t complete this transition all at once; it was gradual. The Holy Spirit was my guide; he has led me down the path I’m walking today.

Have you ever had to go to the emergency room feeling panicked about your situation only to find that the workers are complacent and unalarmed? It is infuriating! Supposedly, they are in their jobs because they want to help people. Finally, your doctor calls the hospital, and the workers, come rushing to your side to comfort you and ultimately help you.

It’s not your situation that got them moving; it’s who you know. We are in a similar situation when it comes to our relationship with God. You must call on him in every case, but sometimes he makes you sit in the waiting room while he’s assessing your circumstance. He has heard you and will come to your rescue.

We’ve been crying out to him concerning the emergency that our country is experiencing; we are panicked over what we are becoming. Though we can’t see anything happening, God is hard at work pulling all the pieces together, just like the workers; though they seem to be complacent, they are working hard and doing their part to make your emergency visit as good as they can. We only see the surface; the working parts are hidden from our sight. Be patient in the process.

and call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.” Psalms 50:15

March 14

God’s word is comforting and loving, but sometimes it is downright frightening. Take this verse, for example:

Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God's kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off. Romans 11:22

“Provided you continue in his kindness!” What does that mean? I thought that Jesus said that he would not lose one person of everyone God has given him? If those of us grafted into the branch rooted in God can be cut off, what does that say about Jesus losing even one whom God has given him? Then in Revelation, Jesus tells us to hold onto what we have until the end; does that mean that if we don’t hold onto it, we will lose it? Forgive me for throwing you into confusion this morning, but this is the way I chew on God’s word. The truth is that we can’t achieve any of this on our own; we must keep our faith in Jesus, though it may only be the size of a mustard seed. I don’t think it’s wrong to have a healthy amount of fear of God. If more people feared him, we would live in a much safer place. Consider that if you are that easily lost, maybe he never had you, the grafting never took, so the branch was going to die anyway. Perhaps that’s why Paul tells us to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling.

March 13

When I was a teenager, I remember getting up early to go to the beach. It was about an hour from my house. I was always drawn to it this time of year, but mornings in March are still a little chilly. My friend and I would get dressed with our swimsuits underneath our clothes and put our jackets on to keep us cozy. By the time we got there, it was already warming up to become the perfect day. I loved the beach then, and I adore it now. It is such a delight to breathe in the salty air, to feel the sand between my toes, and to soak up the sun. Listening to the waves splashing on the shore and the sound of seagulls makes me happy. Something about it refreshes my soul and brings me a little closer to the Father. The LORD has given us another day on this earth; don’t waste your time fretting over what will become of us; instead, be grateful for today and enjoy your moments. Today, so far, I’ve enjoyed coffee at sunrise, but my feet will hit the beach soon, and God will bless me with another relaxing, easy day; a gift from the Father to his daughter, his beloved. Do something that brings you joy today, but make sure you give God all the glory for those joyful moments.

He who made the Pleiades and Orion, and turns deep darkness into the morning and darkens the day into night, who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out on the surface of the earth, the LORD is his name; Amos 5:8 

March 12

What is going on in the background outside of our knowledge? Is God pulling strings to put the world back in order? Must everything be destroyed so his plan can fall into place? Is what we believe an illusion? Time will reveal the truth, but what must we do until then? Fill our minds with the only reality available. What we see on television, the radio, social media, or other broadcasts, is not the truth. We cannot count on them. We can rely on God’s word to be the truth, but outside of his word and creation, we can only trust in the Holy Spirit and his revelations. It is imperative, right now, that you begin to believe in him. When we start to see the truth, it could be devastating to those who are not grounded in their faith in God and his plan for the world. Maybe he’s ordering things for the return of Jesus and preparing his children for departure, or perhaps he’s giving the world another chance for redemption by the blood of his son. In any case, your connection to the Holy Spirit must be strong, tune into his frequency, plug into his power, and relinquish all ties to the enemy and his lies. We have not been made for destruction but for honorable use. Give him the glory; even if life becomes complicated, it will prove perfect in the end.

Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use? What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory— Romans 9:21-23

March 11

There are special days where your life changes forever; some are good, and some are bad. When decisions you’ve made lead to a lasting friendship, you know God intended it and realize it was part of his plan. That’s when you know it wasn’t your decision at all, it was God’s!

I remember well what God told me when on my way home from a ski trip with my church. Through his scriptures, he gave me clues into who would become my partner forever; that was one of the first times I remember seeing a word from him come true. After 25 years, that word is still alive. 

The adventure began that day and hasn’t stopped. Together, we have the best life imaginable.

Happy anniversary to the most incredible man a girl could ask for; I love you with all my heart.

A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon. Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. Psalms 127:1

March 10

People get ready; there’s a train that’s coming! I’m thankful to be alive at this time in history. The world has gone mad, and people are doing unthinkable things, but I’m convinced that we will get to see a move of God like in biblical days. I believe there will be some grief before we see him move miraculously, but it will only be temporary. There will be people to help others overcome the heartbreak; I hope you are well informed, ready, and able to jump in because this will be a harvest like none other in history. If you have felt like God isn’t using you, wait for it; you may be the only person there to help the people near you to see that from something bad, God can create good. 

The Light will expose the darkness, and darkness is more heinous than you can even imagine, even in your wildest nightmare. The dream of everlasting light is upon us. Don’t give up; don’t become weary. Soon, everything will fall into place as God has intended.

For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39

I know I’m not alone in this because I see the trucks everywhere, but I like ordering things online! In most cases, I get the items I desire quicker than I would if I waited for the right time to go to the store. There are certain things that I can only get online now that I have become accustomed to it. However, I love shopping at home goods stores in person, but I’ve noticed that lately their shelves are somewhat empty; it’s probably because more people are now shopping online and having it delivered. There is a matter of trust when it comes to shopping on the internet; you have to pay for it before it comes, then you are hopeful that it’s delivered timely, especially if it’s a gift.

In the same way, we are hopeful in Jesus; the waiting seems long because the world has gone mad, and the longer he waits, the less tolerant others are becoming of our hopefulness. They don’t like our holiness reminding them of their sin. Don’t give up, even in the hope that God has a plan to redeem our country, but most of all, don’t give up on the hope of salvation in Jesus. Like online ordering, Jesus has already paid for it; we just have to wait patiently for the delivery.

For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience. Romans 8:24-25

March 8

I may be outspoken when it comes to what I believe to be true, which is biblical principles, and try to reflect that belief when living out my life, but I only measure you if you say you’re a Christ-follower. Our only measure is Christ, and we all fall short of him and the standard of measure set by God, unless Jesus hides us within himself, then we reflect him, and God sees us through the lens of Jesus. Thank you, Jesus, for covering our sinfulness!

Sinners, however, will be judged in their death; Satan is their ruler, and he’s already set them up for conviction unless they decide to renounce their allegiance to him and follow Christ. Unfortunately for them, Satan makes sure they all know the rules; otherwise, they wouldn’t know that the atrocities that they commit are atrocious. You cannot live on this earth without knowing God; only a magnificent being could create the amazement we are surrounded by, so to say you don’t believe is a lie. 

Keep praying for your loved ones who haven’t committed their lives to Jesus and those who are influencing them and encouraging them to follow the earth's ruler, Satan, and that God would open their eyes to the truth.

Did that which is good, then, bring death to me? By no means! It was sin, producing death in me through what is good, in order that sin might be shown to be sin, and through the commandment might become sinful beyond measure. Romans 7:13

March 7

Yesterday, I tripped and fell, but I only injured my heal. This morning, I can barely walk! If I try and put pressure on the front, it radiates to the back. It left me in a bit of a predicament because my coffee is downstairs! I hobbled my way down, but I couldn’t carry my dog, so she had to make her way down independently. It’s incredible to me how one little injury has affected my whole body, and others around me, even though it’s minor. 

My injury is an example of how sin can affect your whole body. That little lie you told or when you neglected someone’s feelings; if you are genuinely saved, will riddle your conscience with unbearable guilt, which will, in turn, affect your whole body. Your sin is not only against a person; you sinned against God. Quickly repent to keep the damage to a minimum; better yet, take the option that doesn’t require you to sin. 

So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. Romans 6:11-12

March 6

Our borders are open, which means the new president just hung out the welcome sign and extended the invitation to human traffickers to bring their goods right in. The children that are coming in, were they stolen from their families, or did they send them willingly? Undocumented, they will be easy targets for the satanic to utilize their bodies for ritual purposes. I can’t wrap my head around this, but I believe it’s real. Here I am, living my cushy life and going about like everything is normal, hoping that all of this talk is just a lie to stir up my heart, but I fear it’s true.  

This problem might be more significant than a border crossing; there is reason to believe humans are being smuggled into the U.S. in shipping containers. I watched a video where they were removing children who were barely alive from a liquid container truck, was that computer-generated imagery or real? The video was of low quality, making me believe it was genuine.

I’m sharing my heart with you this morning, so you don’t stop praying. Our fight for America and the world is not over. Stay armored-up! Slowly but surely, we will see a conclusion to this madness; if not, I can guarantee that Jesus is preparing to bring us home.

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12

March 5

Here’s a fun fact for the fearful: no matter what you’ve done to disappoint God, there’s nothing you can do to earn his forgiveness. You can’t say one-hundred hail Marys or 50 our-Fathers. You can’t pay him off with your finances. You can’t show up for church every time the door is open. No, there’s nothing you can do; it’s not up to you at all; it’s up to God, and only God. It’s only by his grace that you are forgiven. 

Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. And to the one who does not work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, Romans 4:4-5

What then must you do to receive God’s forgiveness? Believe in Jesus! That’s it; nothing more. Belief is not as easy as it sounds, though. Think about how many times you’ve given things over to God only to take them back and try to fix them yourself? You must set your mind on God, love him, worship him, and give him your praise. The more you think about him, the easier it is to hold on to your belief in him.

March 4

March forth, family of God, do not become stagnant. Do not fall for the nonsense that the mainstream media is feeding you, especially since the world's governments want us to stop living and sequester ourselves in fear. They are feeding our minds poison to keep us under their control. Why are we unaware of what’s coming? Because it is a gentle takeover. Little by little, they’ve heated the water without us noticing, and soon we will be boiling unless we wake up and get out of it! 

I began waking from my slumber when I realized the lies they’ve been telling us about our food and teaching us, from a very young age, to believe that our body needs things that may be harmful to us later on in life. If they are willing to lie about our food, what else are they lying about? Have you ever wondered why there is a push to eat fake meat? It’s full of harmful chemicals!

There is a connection between the media, Hollywood, and government agencies; together, they are programming us to do what they want us to do. They didn’t do this on their own; no, they had the influence of Satan, who is knowledgeable and wise to our behavior. You may need to change your diet to clear your mind. To start, you could try eating whole, unprocessed food. Your body will thank you, and you will begin to think more clearly and clean up your spiritual airwaves so you can tune into the Holy Spirit more easily.

By no means! Let God be true though every one were a liar, as it is written, “That you may be justified in your words, and prevail when you are judged.” Romans 3:4

March 3

After reading Romans 1, I realized that God didn’t leave anything out of his scriptures. I live a mostly normal life, and every day I find something in those scriptures that God has highlighted that might pertain to what I went through; it’s all in there, good or bad. He mentions happiness, joy, and other delights. Still, in different portions, he mentions sexual promiscuity, idol worship, cannibalism, child sacrifices, and other things we are hearing about in today’s unpublished news; you name it, it’s in there! A few of these activities are in Romans 1. 

When you see such things spoken of in the Bible, you know they aren’t that far-fetched because they’ve happened before. If true, you will begin to hear of these heinous activities happening in modern times and be surprised at who is doing it! It’s certainly not ordinary people, though they seem normal on the outside, but people who’ve made a deal with the devil; he leads them to do all sorts of activities that are a slap in the face to God. If you haven’t heard yet, prepare yourself, I’m sure it won’t be long before this ghastly evil is exposed. 

Remember months ago when I asked everyone to pray for light to expose the darkness? Buckle your seatbelts; it’s coming!

Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them. Romans 1:32

March 2

God has given us a gentle rain to soothe our sinuses this morning. I was walking my dogs yesterday, and the wind began to blow; and right before my eyes, I saw a massive puff of pollen cloud-up the area. I had never seen anything like that before and was stunned! I must have gotten caught in some of it because by the evening, my eyes became swollen, and my nose began dripping. One of my dogs was itching too! I’m not sure, but it’s probably going to be an acorny year! That’s good news for the squirrels! You see, God gives blessings, but your blessing might look like a curse to others. God blessed the squirrels, who will then plant the oak trees for the next generation, and they will get fat while doing it. All of which came from that big puff of pollen. In the wake of the pollen are me and my dog, itching, and sneezing. I can tolerate it for the time while God is continuing his beautiful creation. The message is this: while you may be going through a rough time right now, know that God’s plan is more significant than what you see. He plans for the future, so we must be patient and wait. Few will notice, but make sure you thank him when you see how his plan unfolds.

Who knew that when Paul got shipwrecked that he would be able to attribute it to God for saving them? Who knew that when Paul got bit by the snake that he would be able to witness to and heal the natives of the land? Who knew that when I got caught up in the pollen that I would use it to explain how God works? Only God!

They were waiting for him to swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But when they had waited a long time and saw no misfortune come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god. Acts 28:6

March 1

I don’t know about you, but I feel like January and February lasted a whole year! Here we are trying to get over the issues from this past year and the months are creeping by. I guess, in a way, that’s good; God has slowed the clock temporarily so we can heal. Eventually, life will get better. It’s nearing springtime and we are in full bloom here in Florida; new life is bursting out as if God were saying, ‘find joy in my creation!’ So, that’s what I’m doing. I’m letting go of same disappointments, and moving on without forgetting the things I’ve learned. 

March on my fellow soldiers!

Pray that the captive are set free from their evil captors, whether physically or mentally. Pray that those closing their eyes to what’s going on spiritually would “open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith” in Jesus (Acts 26:18). Pray that the worldly governments who are kicking against the goads, would be snatched out of the hands of the wicked, and that people would turn to God, worship him and give him the love he desires from the people.

February 28

Prepare your hearts and minds to expect unusual things to begin happening. Because we are in the last of the last days, anything can transpire. God has given us fair warning through the scriptures; to overlook the prophecies is to do a disservice to yourself, your unbelieving family, and friends. Even some “Christians” do not fully understand the impact of what is to come. Anything can change, and God could decide that it’s not time yet, but if we stay on the current trajectory, the evil powers and principalities are projecting the world will be in order by 2030 or before if they speed up the processes! If that doesn’t blow your mind, I don’t know what will. Recognize when the Bible says that time is short; it is undoubtedly short! Ask yourself if you are doing everything in your power to evangelize and bring the gospel. Are you awake yet? If not, today is a good day to open your eyes. We’ve been fed lies for longer than history, and for that reason, there is nothing we can have confidence in believing in except the Word of God. If you want the truth, you will only find it if you seek God.

He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen. Revelation 22:20-21

February 27

 

My husband and I took a ride on our new e-bikes last evening right before sunset. Yes, I know it’s cheating, but it is so much fun! We have a relatively large park near us on the beach, so we rode there and toured some of the trails. One of the trails led us out to the beach, where the sand was thick and loose. It was a bit challenging going through it, but we made it back to the hard sand without incident. Even though the soft sand was difficult to maneuver through, we were still on the beach, same location, same beauty; it was just a rough patch, but we made it. 

Considering the challenges we’ve been facing in our country and worldwide, we are still within the beauty of God’s creation, and it’s just a rough patch, but if we keep going strong and fast, we will make it through unscathed. Don’t lose hope, my precious friends; God is in control; he knows what the world is facing. I recommend that we prepare ourselves to help others stuck in the sand and need our love, guidance, and understanding to help them get through. 

Please be especially mindful and prayerful for those who are still in and those coming out of human trafficking; they need us to stand firm for them, to have the mind of Christ, and to reach out and help where we can.

Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.  James 1:27
