The house that we moved into was built by Richard 15 years ago. We intended to sell it, but if you remember, back in 2007, the housing market fell to an all-time low. Since then, it has been part of our rental program. Yesterday, I decided to clean the windows, inside and out. I’m not super picky about the windows, but they were filthy on the outside! It’s super dusty right now because we haven’t had rain in a while, but some of the dirt I cleaned off had to be 15 years old! I scraped off the original stucco that had splattered on the window. Maybe, they didn’t take the time to remove it and merely wiped over it, but I can’t be sure. All I know is, now I can see clearly, and the murky mess is gone. The same thing can happen when you ask the Holy Spirit for new revelation; what may have been veiled in darkness, on purpose, of course, is now in vivid color. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it! That is the beauty of God’s Word. It has incredible depth and is easily understood by people of varying maturities, and that’s what makes it the Living Word. The meaning won’t change, but you will have a greater understanding. Today, if you think you have reached your maximum comprehension of God’s Word, ask him to reveal more. He may not answer you immediately, but I can assure you, he heard you and will give you your request when he thinks you are ready.

“For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:10-11

May 27

We bear with fools preaching a “so-called” gospel, but when an actual representative of Jesus presents the truth, do we reject them or consider them foolish? I know it’s hard to unlearn something we’ve been subject to our whole lives, but at some point, we need to question our understanding and seek out the truth. I’m not saying what you’ve learned is wrong, but maybe your understanding is not mature, or the Holy Spirit hasn’t given you his revelation yet. If the new revelation you’ve learned doesn’t diminish God’s word but enhances it and makes it come to life today, that’s when you know what you’ve learned is the truth. 

I decided to change out the light bulbs in my new house with LED daylight bulbs. I can’t explain the dramatic difference over the soft light; the colors seem different and vivid. We had light before, but this minor change made everything seem more beautiful. Know this; it doesn’t mean I’m not fond of the soft lighting, but now that I’ve experienced a difference, I don’t think I can go back to the lighting I had before; it seems dull. Are you following me?

If you see me write something you’ve never seen before, do a little research; I don’t write it without first checking into its origin. Otherwise, God will remove from me any voice I may have; believe me, I’ve cried out to him for years to give me a voice; it’s precious to me.

Father, LORD Jesus, Holy Spirit, help us have a clear understanding of the messages you are trying to convey to your people.

For you gladly bear with fools, being wise yourselves! For you bear it if someone makes slaves of you, or devours you, or takes advantage of you, or puts on airs, or strikes you in the face. 2 Corinthians 11:19-20

May 26

I wish we knew the truth, but more and more, it looks like history is a lie. I agree that things happened; we don’t know the truth about the cause or if it happened the way we were told. 

Here is one truth, my husband and I saw a pair of flamingos fly over our house. Do you know how rare that is? I’ve never seen flamingos in the wild until then. No, they weren’t Roseate Spoonbills; I know what those are. The flamingo was nearly decimated by hunters in the 1800’s for their plumage to accessorize ladies' hats. I can assure you this is the truth, but you didn’t see it, so you don’t know for sure if what I’m saying is true. I am a reliable source, but we also thought the reporters were at one time. Now they are nothing but spreaders of false information as a part of a more sinister act. Was the news ever reliable? No, I don’t think it was. Be careful what you believe. 

When it comes to preachers of the gospel, we must be wary of those who rise to fame and question how they got there. Did they make a deal with the devil, like many celebrities? The elite needed them to spread their lies, too, and what better way than to sully God’s word. Be careful out there! Back up what you believe with facts, and do your research!

For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 2 Corinthians 11:13-14

May 25

I tried not to write about this issue, but for some reason, I couldn’t let it go. I know so very little about the constellations and how they line up, but I will tell you what I’ve learned. My understanding is not 100%, but this blood moon, total lunar eclipse, coming up on Wednesday, may have significant consequences for those on the side of evil. This particular one is called Soros! The stars are lined up for the destruction of evil, with Sagittarius pointing his arrow at Scorpio. The moon is in Scorpio! The enemy has highjacked the stars for evil purposes, but they are still relevant to biblical teachings because they are mentioned many times. Could this be a sign from God that points to the end of the elite rule? Their days are numbered, and you can bet that life will become so much better once their true darkness is exposed. Is this part of God’s plan? Did Jesus mention this in the Olivet Discourse to give us clues when this would happen? This may not suit the narrative that we have been fed from the pulpit or what our minds try to understand without permission from the Holy Spirit. Still, I can assure you something big is happening spiritually and maybe physically. I believe our prayers may be answered as darkness is brought into the light of Jesus, and the destruction of the evil one is at hand.

Side note: we are currently within the sign of the son of man, which began on September 23, 2017. The eclipse happens on the 1335th day. Is that just a coincidence? “Blessed is he who waits and arrives at the 1,335 days.” Daniel 12:12 

“Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 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 24:29-30

The National Guard has left or is leaving Washington, DC today. Our occupation of a foreign land is over, and, get this, it ended on Pentecost! According to the Department of Defense War Manuel 11.11.8, the next step is to arrest! I am hopeful that the perpetrators of evil find themselves locked up and awaiting trial. The guilty cannot stop what is coming. Pray your hearts out that God will deliver us from this evil. Things are happening, but we won’t see it because the national news only spreads propaganda and does not report the truth, but at some point, it must be revealed for the world to see, and I am waiting on pins and needles for this to happen—stand firm on your faith. Wait and watch as God separates the sheep from the goats!

“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. Matthew 25:41

May 23

When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. Acts 2:1-4

Just as we celebrate the birth of Jesus and his resurrection from the dead, we should celebrate Pentecost as a special day, the arrival of the Holy Spirit. Others throughout Old Testament history would receive him for a time, and he would leave, but now, upon acceptance of Jesus, he dwells within us continuously, and that is something to celebrate! I am thankful for his presence; he is my guide, my comforter, and a companion I can count on to always be there for me whether times are good or bad. He keeps me out of trouble, helps me control my tongue, and teaches me how to be a better person. Without him, my faith would be weak. He is a special gift to each of us from our LORD and Savior, Jesus. Take time today to thank him for every nudge, quiet whisper, and reminder of his presence. May he bring about something today that the world will not forget. Have a glorious Pentecost today!

May 22

What is the meaning of tribulation? It’s not what we’ve been led to believe. Here’s the internet definition:

Definition of tribulation

: distress or suffering resulting from oppression or persecution

also: a trying experience

Do we not face tribulation daily? Replace that word with trouble, and you take away its power! Are you paying attention? Aren’t we in “big trouble” or “great tribulation” right now? You absolutely could call it that! Let’s stop worrying about “tribulation,” we face it daily and are no worse off for it. We do not contend with trouble like the worldly; we are saved and are safe. The world is trying to take us out right now. They want nothing to do with God and anyone who has faith in him, but remember, we win!

Tribulation is another word used by Satan to control us. If we live in fear of it, he wins the current battle; don’t let him win!

I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

May 21

Remember these verses in Matthew 24? 

“Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one left.” 

Most of us believe this is about the rapture, but it isn’t. Just before these two verses, Jesus says it will be like the day of Noah. In Noah’s day, the bad people were washed away, and the good people were saved in the ark. Jesus is telling us that the bad people will be taken away, not the good. And I believe we are talking about the very, very bad people. For all our lives, the church has taught us to fear the return of Jesus, but I think that the only ones who need to worry are those who’ve made a deal with the devil for fame and fortune and have participated in ritual abuse that marks them, like those who are trafficking and sacrificing children. When the pieces don’t seem to fit in the Bible, you can bet it’s because we’ve been taught wrong about its meaning. Dig a little deeper, and ask God to give you clarity.

May 20

I’m having one of those days where I can’t get going. I’m sure it will get better as the day goes on, but right now, I don’t want to move. I still have boxes to unpack and rooms to decorate, but my body is telling me to rest. It’s starting to come together; the pieces are falling into place, making me want to keep going until it’s complete. I see so much that needs to be done and have a hard time sitting still. I’m entirely distracted; to take a moment to write this devotional was difficult. But God calls us to sit for a minute, breathe in his presence, and rest our weary bones. The burden that I’m feeling is something I’ve placed on myself. There is no rush to be finished, although I won’t enjoy my rest until it’s complete. So I took some time, listened to the LORD, and he reminded me that he had taken all my burdens away and to rest in him. I will follow his lead and let him take the reigns and show me the way. I’m on light duty for today, and it will be a great day.

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30

May 19

Since becoming an expert at moving, I’ve noticed something interesting; no demonic activity or the need to thrust any out of this house. There were no unexplained happenings, such as doors shutting, items falling, or mysterious noises. I didn’t feel that it was necessary to circle this house in prayer, as I’ve done with many other homes. It was a very peaceful transition.

Here is my conclusion; we were the builder, and though we rented it to others, they had no ownership or authority over it; therefore, the demons, if any, had to leave with them. 

Just like a home, you own your body; only you can allow demonic beings to trouble you through activity you’ve delved into that is strictly prohibited by God. Take control today! Confess, and repent! Tell the demons to get behind you; you have the authority by using Jesus’s name. Do not allow the corrupt to invade God’s temple.

What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, “I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you, 2 Corinthians 6:16-17

May 18

Isn’t this the truth? “You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted in your own affections.” 2 Corinthians 6:12. The King James says it this way: "Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels."

Paul doesn’t hold anything back, and he tells it like it is! We are inclined to blame others for our circumstances, but the truth is that most of the time, we are limited by not overcoming our past. True freedom comes when we get over ourselves and cling to the life Jesus has laid out for us; it’s not about things but a healed heart. He died on the cross to defeat death, which is the worse punishment; why do we fret over things that haven’t killed us? We are no longer guilty because he paid for it on the cross!

So today, ask God what it is that’s holding you back from being your “original self,” the person he created you to be. Listen carefully. He will probably tell you before you get the entire question asked. Then pray for him to help you loose the chains that are binding. 

May 17

Watch out for so-called experts! I’m referring to Dr. Fauci and the CDC. I’m assuming that now that the crisis is over, we won’t be hearing from them quite as often. That’s fine by me; their guidance was less than helpful and only added fear to an already volatile situation. They are not unlike the Pharisees back in Jesus’s days on earth, making up their own rules and laws. It makes me wonder if what we see now is an extension of the things that happened in his day. Has the whole system been passed from generation to generation? Are the people making the “experts” do their dance part of their ancestry? Satan can and does orchestrate things such as this. John told us that the anti-Christ was already here; maybe they are a part of it; people love people who know how to make money and will worship them. This whole scheme was nothing more than a way to line the pockets of the pharmaceutical industry, which is controlled by the cabal, and Fauci and the CDC are in on it. It’s time to make a change and rid the world of the control coming from the elite.

By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. 1 John 4:2-3

May 16

Hope is not lost. Though it may seem like the world is coming to an end, the only “world” coming to an end is for the people of worldly character. Those of us who haven’t sworn allegiance to Satan will continue to live a life worthy of our calling. Don’t be afraid; you do not need to fear; you are loved and accepted by our wonderful Father, who knows you and adores you. Great days are ahead of us, and life here on earth will be better than ever.

Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade others. But what we are is known to God, and I hope it is known also to your conscience. 2 Corinthians 5:11

May 15

 

It’s moving day! I’m excited but exhausted, and it hasn’t even begun. This body is worn out! My arm feels like it’s going to fall off from all the painting I’ve done over the last couple of weeks, but the house feels all fresh and renewed. It’s amazing what a little paint will do. I’ve pushed this body hard, but it’s all I’ve got to use right now. One day, I will be absent from this body and fully clothed in life, no longer mortal but immortal, dwelling in the presence of Jesus. The pain I feel reminds me that I’m still alive and still on a mission to make known the ways of God and to bring others in on the deal. There is no better way to show your appreciation for all that Jesus has done for you than to live your life for him. That’s what I’m trying to do.

Here is how good God is: this verse fell into my daily Bible reading and fits perfectly with what I’m experiencing. Why am I amazed by him? He’s always so good to me.

For while we are still in this tent, we groan, being burdened—not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.  2 Corinthians 5:4

May 14

And just like that, the plandemic is over. On May 12th, it’s still in full swing, and you must wear your mask outdoors, then suddenly, on May 13th, it’s over? Read between the lines, the pharmaceutical company’s reputation was being destroyed by the CDC guidelines requiring a “vaccinated” person to wear a mask; what’s the point in getting the shot if it doesn’t work to stop disease? Now a person who’s had the jab can resume regular activity. Fortunately for me, I live in Florida, where requiring vaccine cards is against the law. The truth is, I was fully vaccinated as a child, and since then, my immune system has done its job, and I haven’t been sick in years! Our lifestyle was only different at the beginning of this fiasco because we decided that loving our family was more important than life itself. Being separated from them was unbearable and worth the risk. What’s next? Exactly! What is the next thing they will come up with to try and control us since this didn’t work? Let’s hope God stops them in their tracks, whoever “they” are. One day we will get to the bottom of all the lies, but until then, keep expressing your concerns to the Father, who is in control of everything, including our very lives.

For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:17-18

May 13

Today is day 39 of counting the Omer; there are 11 days left until Pentecost, beginning tonight, ten days. I post these countings to remind you that we are still in a holy season, and God is at work doing some mighty and powerful things. We should all be anticipating something special. Did you know that there is a total lunar eclipse on May 26? That’s three days after Pentecost. Is that a sign from God? Yes! I don’t know what it means, but it’s written in the heavens.

If we have a total communication blackout or even a power grid outage, stay calm and do not fear, and know that the good guys are in control, and it’s all a part of the plan. There is an undercurrent of information saying that it might happen. Good things are on the horizon, but we may experience some discomfort while the bad guys receive their retribution. Read Psalms 91; it is a powerful weapon and a great source of comfort. 

A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked. Psalms 91:7-8

May 12

All the pieces are falling into place. God’s plan, from the beginning of time, appears to be well underway. Satan's dirty deeds are being sorted out, and anyone involved will face God’s wrath. Turn off the television. Nothing you see is true. You may think that local news is safe; it isn’t; they taint it with the filth that’s spewed on national programs. 

Prepare your hearts and minds because what’s unfolding cannot be stopped, and even the most hardened hearts will find the information that comes to light reprehensible. You must be honest with yourself and think things through to the end and ask, “what are they doing with all these children trafficked at the border?”. They are being scattered all over the United States; why? What’s happening cannot go on forever; God won’t allow it. You will be able to see it all come to an end very soon. The fallout will be devastating, but not for the believers; we are safe. The end of the disgusting behavior is near. The newest crisis, the gas shortage, is just an attempt to take your attention away from the truth. Stay focused, and continue to pray for darkness to be revealed.

For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:6

May 11

I didn’t think I could do it, but I’ve almost painted an entire house in just over a week! I’m down to one room and a couple of walls and should finish those this morning. The floors have been refinished, new carpeting is down in the bedrooms, fence, and pavers go in today, and our transition to our new home is well underway. It feels good to see progress being made and bringing a home back to its former glory. The same thing happens when we renew our life with Jesus; some people are healed immediately upon accepting him as Savior, but others progress slowly and accept his healing little by little. Freedom comes when we receive all he has to offer; it’s a matter of believing. A renewal comes when we let go of our fear, rejection, trauma, and unbelief, which lead to regrets from the things in our past. Allow Jesus to heal you today; confess, repent, anoint, and pray! Let’s start this upcoming Pentecost renewed and expect a jubilant season. 

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 2 Corinthians 3:17

May 10

The world has taught us to fear the unknown and the retaliation of God for our disobedience. But are we the ones who need to worry? No, absolutely not! We have made a commitment to Jesus, and he has told us not to fear. I think much of what we have learned is to teach us to be obedient to our government through a system of propaganda filtered through television programming. I realize that it’s too simplistic to say we should look at the Bible in two ways; one way for evil people and another way for us, but it would make more sense if we did, and it would remove the element of fear from our lives. We ARE God’s people. Paul says that when we accept Jesus, we are adopted, grafted into the vine. An adopted family member receives the same inheritance as the other children. My daddy is loving and would never do anything to harm me, and we should look at God in that light. I have confidence that we are not to fear what is coming to this world; the world needs to worry. We are safe from the wrath of God; he is our protector and our loving daddy. 

even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, Ephesians 1:4-5

But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree,  Romans 11:17

May 9

Have you ever met people that your spirit confirms are Christ-followers, even though Jesus's name isn’t mentioned? We have a guy that has installed carpeting for us for years that has been helping Richard lay flooring in our duplexes. He has gone above and beyond the call of duty, and we wanted to take him and his family to dinner to show our appreciation. I’d always known there was something different about him, then after meeting his family, I realized what it was, it was Jesus. His wife was sweet, and his children were adorable, and they all exuded the aroma of Christ. Jesus is the chain that links his followers' hearts together, and The Holy Spirit confirms the connection in our spirit. I’m so thankful for my brothers and sisters in Christ and looking forward to the day, which I believe will be soon, that every face we see, we will know that they love Jesus. 

But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, 2 Corinthians 2:14-15
