Here is a verse that slapped me in the face this morning: 

But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. 1 Corinthians 6:17

I’ve probably read this verse a hundred times, but for some reason, it never impacted me like today. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, and he gave us his wisdom and discernment as a gift. We are one spirit with him! Some of y’all need to tune in; just saying. Being one spirit with God should stop us in our tracks from doing stuff that is counter to his righteousness, yet we struggle daily to keep our minds and bodies free from sin. It should also stop us from putting ourselves down; it seems that would be a sin against him, too. We know our sin is an offense to ourselves and others affected by it, but knowing that we are subjecting God to our sin takes it to a whole different level. Keeping this in context, if you are involved in adultery or fornication, what are you doing?! That’s very troubling. If ever there was a verse that needed to be bound on your fingers and written on the tablet of your heart, this would be it! Consider your actions, and remember that you are one spirit with Jesus!

There are choices you must make during your lifetime. Some of them will be good for your health, but others will degrade it. There are many more items that we consume that will lead to disease than healthy things. As Christ-followers, we should make good choices. 

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

I know it’s hard, especially when it comes to food! I love cake, pie, and donuts, and sometimes I succumb to those delicacies, but I know that I should limit my intake because they are not suitable for my health. Not only that, but I notice a difference in hearing God’s voice. Who would have thought that food could make a difference? Imagine what drugs can do to you, legal or illegal. We have become very accustomed to popping a pill for whatever ails us, but what if all you needed to do was change your diet? Most people would rather take medication. You’ve cut sin out of your life, now consider cleaning up the rest of it.

The fencing in DC is coming down. You won’t hear that on television. Up until a little after 1 a.m. this morning, there was no one on the streets. I know this because I follow a guy on the Telegram app that drives around DC and gives video documentation of what’s going on; most of the time, his version of events doesn’t fit the media's narrative because he brings the truth to light. You can hear Christian music playing in the background of his videos; pay attention to the clues. If you sincerely want to know the truth, it’s out there for you to find; you need to follow God’s cues. There are a few crazies on Telegram because it’s uncensored, so you have to filter the good from the bad; that’s why it’s essential to tune into the Holy Spirit for discernment. God is in the midst of what’s going on around the world. He has a plan to disarm the evil wiles of the devil, so it’s crucial for the patriots of God to join him and to jump in and help fight this battle. You must put on your armor, or you will get torn to shreds! Armor up! In the end, we win; but don’t become a casualty of the battle.

Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything. 2 Timothy 2:7

April 12

Real conspiracies are going on in the world today, but you won’t listen because you don’t want to hear lies or believe the “crazy” people who are spewing conspiracy theories. The biggest lie that you believe is that there are no conspiracies. If you fall for that particular lie, the media and the conspirators have you exactly where they want you; they are leading you around like a dog on a leash. Then, when you finally decide to research the information to disprove the theorist, you use Google for your search, and there is nothing there because Google is filtering your data. If you want to do fundamental research, you need to change your search engine to Duck Duck Go. Why am I telling you this? Because the enemy is teaching us to conform to the standard he has set, and we are falling into his traps. If the people of God don’t wake up and stop going along with this madness, the enemy will win this battle. The truth is out there; it cannot hide under the bed any longer; it’s time to expose it!

“No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light. For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light. Take care then how you hear, for to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he thinks that he has will be taken away.” Luke 8:16-18

April 11

You aren’t getting the truth when you watch the television news. If you are still watching it, you are being programmed to believe their lies and deceived by their appearance of sincerity. Satan has control over that industry. He controls the government, music, and entertainment industries, too; don’t think your “Christian” music is unaffected; he’s slimed his way into that industry too. All the things they have hoodwinked us into believing will be exposed as lies; when God reveals the truth, it will be a hard pill to swallow. History, wars, devastating situations that appear to be genuine, maybe a government set-up to make money, or possibly a cover to take the attention away from their nefarious dealings, and the news industry is a paid participant. God will uncover the dastardly deeds! He will only allow injustice to carry on for so long before he steps in to expose the lies. Wait for it; expect it to happen very soon. When you finally see it and feel devastated, remember, God is in control.

When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers. 

One who wanders from the way of good sense will rest in the assembly of the dead. Proverbs 21:15-16

April 10

Why did Jesus tell us what was going to happen during the tribulation? Was it to frighten us? If that’s the case, why would he tell us to “fear not” 365 times throughout the Bible? The Bible is not confusing; it’s our lack of knowledge of who God is that keeps us from understanding his ways. When you read your Bible, read it in the light of the most powerful love, a love like you’ve never experienced, a holy and righteous kind of love that no human can exhibit.

If Jesus was going to take us out before tribulation, why was it necessary for him to spend so much time telling us about it throughout the Old and New Testaments? Growing up around cows, I’ve stepped through a barb-wired fence and gotten caught in it. That’s how I feel about how I’ve been taught to understand the Bible; sometimes, I get snagged on things that don’t make sense to me. Everyone has their version of what they believe when it comes to tribulation. Will we be raptured pre-trib, mid-trib, post-trib, which is it? Is rapture what we think it is, or is it in the form of a parable? Who taught the Bible scholars? Could the enemy have infiltrated them to bring confusion? 

We are not supposed to ask these questions! Our lack of knowledge is why it’s essential to focus on God; set your heart toward the love that Jesus has for us and know his kind of love is never meant to harm or confuse. If something doesn’t make sense to you, and God doesn’t clarify, you're not ready to know the answer; he’ll reveal it in time. Please tune in to the Holy Spirit and let him be your guide through the scriptures; it’s the only way!

And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. Matthew 24:6

April 9

There is so much about God that we are not privy to, but when he opens our eyes, it’s like a view we’ve never seen. Did you know that the stars tell the story about Jesus and gives us the signs of the times? When the Bible refers to signs in the heavens, most often, it’s referring to the constellations. It’s like a connect-the-dots assignment when we were in grade school, but this assignment is from God; he created them and they tell a story. Don’t be fooled by astrology, that’s a tool of the devil, and he will use whatever he can to sully what God has commissioned, but biblical astronomy was sanctioned by God. 

When I was in junior high, I was interested in the constellations, but as I grew into a teenager, I forgot how wonderful it was. When I get away from the city lights and can see the night sky, I think I’ll revisit my childhood, and play connect-the-dots with the stars again, and see if I can understand the stories God points out in the scriptures. I won’t undertake it alone; I will find a reputable person to follow that has already sought the answers from a biblical perspective. This is yet another way God gives us to keep our attention upon him. 

Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. Matthew 24:30

April 8

God will open your eyes to the truth in the scriptures; ask him to help you. Much of what you know was taught to you by others, which may now need to be unlearned or cleaned up. May God reveal the truth, and the deception and fog of the enemy be seen by all who love Jesus. Jesus never stopped teaching in parables, so you need him to break through to the truth with the power that lives within anyone who is called by the name of Christ. We all need clarity to see what is coming if that interests you. Otherwise, settle into the comfort of knowing that you are saved by faith in Jesus and what is in store for our future is of no consequence to you. However, I would like to know what’s coming, so I will muddle through the scriptures and hope that my eyes are opened to see what our future holds. 

Are we living in the times prophesied by Ezekiel, Daniel, John, and others?  Yes, I believe we are. Hold onto your hats and hang on! There may be some steep drops on this roller coaster! No need to worry; we are favored and loved by the Father, and he does not intend harm for those who love him.

For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4

April 7

Have you witnessed it? I have! God’s power is mighty and sure, and it’s at work all the time. However, we are so focused on other things; we might miss the pouring out of his love. God can show off, and sometimes he does, but most of the time, his blessing comes subtly; if you’re not paying attention, you will miss it. He plays along with our whims and allows us to make mistakes, but eventually, after we recognize that our decision may have been a bad idea, he helps set us back onto his perfect path. Oh, and guess what? He never lets a bad idea go to waste; he will use it as a tool to train us and turn our hearts back toward him. Now, getting back to his power, remember your thoughts because if you do, you will find that he will give you your desires. He has given me things I’ve never prayed for, but he knows my heart and pours out his love for me by showing me that he hears me, even though I never uttered a word. What I’m talking about are material things, not just spiritual things. He gave us this physical life, so his gifts are not just spiritual; watch for them and see what wondrous love he has for you, his child.

May he grant you your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans! Psalms 20:4

April 6

Is anyone else afraid of what has happened to the church? Have we become so blinded by all the bells and whistles that we don’t see what’s going on right before our eyes? I fear that the enemy has struck us hard and soiled even some of the most seemingly righteous people. There’s something in my spirit that’s alerting me to be cautious. The enemy has set a narrative that we must follow so he can complete his dirty deeds. Why? I think it’s to keep the people spiritually dead, so they can’t see the truth. Consider that it may be necessary for you to relearn the truth about who God is. It began with someone else telling you what God meant by specific passages in scripture. Now is the time for you to stand on your own two feet, and start listening to the Holy Spirit for yourself, and stop relying on someone else explaining it to you and possibly leading you in the wrong direction. It’s time for you to become a Berean.

Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so. Acts 17:11

April 5

Jesus made himself known after his resurrection. He appeared to many people showing that he was very much alive and in the flesh. There were witnesses to this truth; we do not only believe the testimony of one but of many. 

How do you convince someone that the Bible is authentic? I’m continually saying that the Bible is the only truth, but how do we prove that it is God’s holy Word? There are many ways, but the easiest way is to rely on the Holy Spirit to convince.

Our best way to personally prove it is to live a life holy and acceptable to God and not conform to the world's standards. Jesus is our standard; though it seems high, we should strive toward that goal daily. It won’t be until we meet him that we achieve that goal, but in the meantime, we can enjoy the journey. The change others see in our lives will be the proof.

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. 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

April 4

HE IS RISEN! It seems that no matter what a person's belief is, Resurrection Day is celebrated. Whether it’s marked as Easter and the bunny or as our Savior’s resurrection, attention is paid by all because of its significance. It seems that no matter what a person believes, it’s as if all are bowing down to him and paying respect to him even though they may consider it something else. Jesus has recovered this day from the nefarious practices of the evil pagans and made it holy. 

Every day belongs to God, no matter how you use it, but today marks the day Jesus rose from the dead because death could not hold him in its clutches and was defeated. Because of that, we have the offer of eternal life through him. Our only obligation is to accept His free gift of forgiveness, believe that he is the son of God, and turn and follow him. Isn’t that wonderful! All that baggage that we have collected during our lifetime can be given to him, and he will deliver it to the pit of hell, saving us from eternal damnation. 

If you haven’t turned your life over to him, make today the day.

God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it. Acts 2:24

April 3

 

Today is a genuinely solemn day. A day of quiet respect for the LORD, as he was fighting a spiritual battle for our souls while his body lay dead in the tomb. But, not for long, tomorrow is coming.

Jesus is LORD. If you don’t believe he is by now, then your heart is hardened by unbelief. There is enough evidence to prove that he is who he says he is, and if you still don’t believe, then you probably desire to stay in your sin; your heart is like a rock and unmovable. Hell is real; turn away from your unbelief today and ask Jesus to help you if you can muster up the courage to utter the words. 

So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid. So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there. John 19:40-42

April 2

I posted a video to my Facebook profile earlier this morning that helps make sense of Good Friday and what happened on that great day, and you must watch it. If Facebook puts a target on it, please message me, and I will send you the link. It is not political; it is about Jesus and an interesting archaeological find that gives us concrete proof that everything you’ve heard about him is true. Watch it to the end because there is an incredible revelation during the conclusion that can verify that Jesus is who he says he is and is still alive. We, his followers, know these things are true because we have faith and trust in the Word of God, our Bible, but imagine having it verified! Today is not a good day; it is a GREAT day. This news gives us more conclusive evidence that Jesus is our Lord and Savior. 

I saw this video posted on a site that’s not censored last night, but didn’t watch it, and this morning, the Holy Spirit wouldn’t let me go any further in my study until I saw it. It is significant; other videos confirm the information revealed, but I haven’t watched those as of yet, and intend to follow through after I post this information. If it doesn’t come up in the news feed, go to my profile or, ask me for the link through Messenger. I’m not adding it here because I don’t want this ALERT to be shadowbanned. 

If you love Jesus, you will pull out all the stops and make an effort to watch this revelation.

And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks were split. Matthew 27:51

Must See Video!!

April 1

Do you ever argue with God? Yesterday, I had a young man sitting in my kitchen whose dad gave us an estimate for some minor repairs. He had just had his eyes dilated and was having a hard time seeing, so he sat down while his dad met with my husband. He was super quiet, but I made him talk to me and tell me what was going on with his eyes. He told me he had surgery a while back to correct a lazy eye, but now he is having trouble seeing. Here is where the argument with God ensued; I heard him tell me to go and pray for him. Though it should be natural for me, I find it hard to open myself up to rejection. However, when God wants you to do something, he makes an excellent case, so there’s no point in arguing; just get up and do it! Imagine that; he was receptive and allowed me to pray for him. Was this a challenge to get me out of my comfort zone, or was I planting a seed for a later harvest? I’m sure of neither, but I was obedient to do what God told through the nudging of the Holy Spirit. Will his eye be healed? I have no clue; that’s up to God, but I did my part, and at that moment, the young man got to experience the presence of God through my obedience.

No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised. Romans 4:20-21

March 31

Spring brings some marvelous things. I’m especially intrigued by the birds that flock to Florida in droves to escape the cold. They bring me such joy because of their song and peace because of their presence. This year I received a special blessing, new life! Within my staghorn fern, a wren decided to make its nest. It was the perfect place and is within a closed space in my backyard, so large critters that could cause them harm cannot get in. I only notice when examining the fern while preparing to clean off the dead leaves. There they were, newly hatched babies waiting for their mom to bring them some dinner. I carefully took a picture and moved away so I wouldn’t disturb them. How sweet is it that we get to experience such things and that our magnificent creator draws our attention to his creations? Fresh new life is what happens every day as we release all the dead within us, making room for the presence of the Holy Spirit. Start fresh today; rid yourself of whatever is causing you stress and add something new that brings glory to God. After all, he is the only one we need to please.

My beloved speaks and says to me: “Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away, for behold, the winter is past; the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. Song of Solomon 2:10-12

March 30

Some days, God’s word is encouraging and uplifting, but he is not only about our warm and fuzzy feelings; he is firm and expects our obedience. God has blessed me with the courage to step out and post a daily message that he reveals to me through the scriptures and the Holy Spirit, but it will all come to nothing if it is not received and acted upon by the reader. There is no such thing as a participation trophy in God’s kingdom, and whatever work I do will be refined by fire. If my work survives the refining fire, it will become a reward, but if it all comes to nothing, I will, at the least, escape with my life. 

Here is what I love the most about my mission, some of the seeds I’ve been watering are growing because I’ve seen it manifest in many of my friends. The exciting part is, in turn, they are either planting seeds or watering them. We are coworkers with a common objective to bring new life into the saving knowledge of Jesus. Keep on snatching people from the fire, my friends; the more that make it into the kingdom, the merrier it will be.

each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. 1 Corinthians 3:13

March 29

 

If you are worried or even slightly concerned about what is going on in the world right now, stop. The Spirit that dwells within us already knows the outcome; listen to him. No matter what transpires, we must remember that we are precious to the LORD, and he wants only good for us. I’m excited to see what happens because I know that I am loved, and my Father would not harm me. The world that most people live in doesn’t reflect the power and spirit of the living God, so they don’t see his hand at work among us; it makes sense that all we hear about is doom and gloom. The confidence I have doesn’t reflect the negative power of fear because I can see something incredible happening spiritually, which will affect us physically and make our world a better place to live within. Spend a few extra moments praising him this week, and you will begin to see his blessings on your life. There is something special about Passover that makes me feel extra close to the LORD; pay attention and see if you notice it too.

If you need extra encouragement today, read this entire chapter; it’s only 16 verses, but it’s powerful!

But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”— these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. 1 Corinthians 2:9-10

March 28

Passover began at sunset yesterday. It is the holiest time of the year, and leads to our celebration of salvation. Since most of us were not brought up following Jewish customs, we don’t have traditions or rituals associated with the Biblical feasts. There is nothing more precious than what Jesus did for us on the cross, and the least we could do is to acknowledge these appointed feasts and honor our Savior. 

The Jews were slaves to the Egyptians, and God devised a plan to get them out of captivity. He used many signs and wonders to open up a path for their freedom, confounding the Egyptians so they could make their escape. It was scary for them to make such a bold move, but God gave them courage, and his plan fell into place. 

One notable thing to take away from their experience was when they escaped Egypt, they left the burden of slavery behind. What burden are you holding onto that is too heavy for you to carry that you should have left behind when you accepted the gift of salvation? Jesus saved you and took the weight of your past that enslaves you. Let go of that garbage! You don’t need it because it will bog you down as you try to cross the Red Sea to freedom. What I’m talking about is releasing your fears, regrets, trauma, unbelief, and the pain of rejection and turning them over to Jesus. You can use those things to help others without carrying the weight of them. Today, and during this holy feast of Passover, ask God what you need to release to him so that you can walk in complete freedom just as the Israelites did. 

Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Let us therefore celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 1 Corinthians 5:7-8
