Limits Stretched to HIS Power!

Last week, a friend left a message on my phone, when I was serving the homeless. I didn’t hear it come in, and had I not stopped in a parking lot to send a text, I wouldn’t have realized that I didn’t even have my phone; it was left behind at the shelter. I would have went all the way home and not known she had called. My phone was so close to a dead battery when I picked it up, that I couldn’t even call her back. My internal battery had run out as well–

I was exhausted!

The last thing I wanted to do, was add anything to my night; but her message was so long, and there was so much pain wrenching her voice, I just couldn’t turn my back.

I am so glad that I didn’t!

She suffers from severe cellulitis in both legs, but one leg was so bad it had turned black. Her toes looked like she might lose them in front of me, and there were large open sores absolutely covering her lower leg. She was in so much pain it was heart-breaking, but seeing her like that, actually helped me to stomach what I normally would not have been able to. My kids can tell you that I had trouble putting on band-aids when they were growing up. You know, it’s not easy trying to bandage a wound while looking the other way–especially when pretending to be an adult!

Somehow the Lord gives us grace for things we can’t cope with! His mercy trumps self. It’s a mystery how He manages to stretch us beyond our limits. Maybe because He can’t see limits–they don’t even exist with Him!

Stretching is good exercise, right?

So, I sat on her walker seat, parked right in front of her, because I was already in the, ‘beyond standing’ sorta tired!

–but God!

He took over!

When I started to pray, my whole being became filled with tangible energy and strength. It was amazing! I wasn’t there for me, but He generously filled me too!

After the prayer, she coached me through bandaging her leg and then I said, goodnight.

The next day she called me. She had gone to the wound clinic for a scheduled dressing change and wound check. They unwound that bandage and exclaimed over her leg–it was healed!*

I had bandaged open wounds at 10:30 the night before; but sometime between 10:30 pm and the next morning God did what only He can do–what He does best–a Miracle!

Glory to God!!!

I had nothing in me, it was ALL HIM!  –but then, It always is!

Thank you, Jesus

All Glory be to God, AMEN!

*In reading this over, I realized that it may give the impression that the entire case of cellulitis was  gone. Please understand that the wounds were healed overnight, which is miraculous; but we patiently wait for the skin to be completely renewed. I am sorry if this misled anyone; that was not my intention. My friend reports that she has absolutely no pain!  – Praise God!

*Further updated: My friend now feels tickling on the bottoms of her feet;  formerly she had lost the ability to feel sensation there. – Thank you, Jesus!

Nothing is too Insignificant for God

Yesterday, my daughter and I spent the entire day together. It is rare that we can carve time together and this time was one of the best! We went to Glen Arbor, our favorite summer getaway, had lunch and shopped in the village’s quaint little shops; topping this peaceful, sunny day off at the beach with a picnic. It was a tranquil day that was healing to my heart, and that’s right where I’ll keep it!

The Lord gave my daughter something else to remember from that day. A glimpse at how much He cares for us, by an answer to prayer that only He could do!

As we enjoyed our picnic, in a sheltered space that was surrounded with beach shrubbery and hidden from people, a sudden little gust of wind took our grocery bag away. It was held down with a heavy object but this didn’t seem to bother the wind as it quickly snatched it from us. Before we could get up and down to the water, it was already out way too deep and steadily heading out in spite of the waves heading in. It bothered me that we had just littered, but there was no way to reach it as we watched it, amazingly, continue to stay afloat. I was troubled that my receipt went with it, thinking that my name was probably on it. It troubled me so much that I prayed and asked the Lord to bring it back, and then commanded it to come back to me, in Jesus Name! By now 20 minutes or more had gone by and we had walked up and down the beach, continuing to marvel that we could still see the bag bobbing on the waves; as far out as our eyes could see.

I was standing on the edge of the water when I looked down, just as a receipt arrived from the water and met my toes.

You know, my name wasn’t on that receipt after all, but everything I had bought was. It was my receipt, and it spoke volumes to my daughter about answered prayer. About our wonderful Lord, who loves us so much that He cares about the little, seemingly, insignificant things–significant enough to bother us.

That’s our King!

His Name is Jesus!

“Cast all your anxieties on him, for he cares about you.” I Peter 5:7

“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I go to the Father. Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son; if you ask anything in my name, I will do it.” John 14:12-14

It’s Curtain Time!

I dreamt last night that I pulled into a public parking space and suddenly, as if a curtain was pulled back, the grassy area and parking lot beyond erupted into a battlefield. A small, cylinder-shaped tank, the color of medium brown or dark sand, came on the scene and began sending out explosive bombs. It was a size that would hold about 4 people and I didn’t realize it was actually a tank until it began firing; it was futuristic looking and was more like the size of a car.

A fierce battle ensued.

After a brief time, the window into the Spirit-realm closed and the view returned to normal. I was still standing there, shocked at what I had just witnessed, when a man standing by a car, parked next to mine, commented on the battle. I hadn’t even been aware that he was there. I turned to him and said, “You saw it too?” It was more of an exclaim than a question. And then coming toward us on the grassy expanse was a guy walking his dog, held by a leash. He called out to us, “Do you think it is safe to walk here?” He shouted that question over, with sort of a nervous laugh that didn’t disguise the fear on his face.

I had my camper in tow, which I haven’t pulled in more than a decade. I went back to it and rolled the window down, though in real life my camper does not have that type of window. In my dream, it was the old-fashioned crank-down type like all the cars used to have. The crank handle came off in my hand, with the window down.

Life is carrying on as usual, but in the Spirit-realm the battle rages on.

Life is moving fast!

All will soon ‘see’ and there is no turning back.

We’ve crossed the line.

Pick a side–you must choose whom you will serve.

Renew your life!

Choose Jesus!

He is the everlasting light–He is everlasting life!

“The great day of the Lord is near, near and hastening fast; the sound of the day of the Lord is bitter, the mighty man cries aloud there. A day of wrath is that day, a day of distress and anguish, a day of ruin and devastation, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness, a day of trumpet blast and battle cry against the fortified cities and against the lofty battlements.” Zephaniah 1:14-16

“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life, godly and respectful in every way. This is good and it is acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all, the testimony to which was borne at the proper time.” I Timothy 2:1-6

“But what does it say? The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart (that is the word of faith which we preach); because, if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For man believes with his heart and so is justified, and he confesses with his lips and so is saved. The scripture says, “No one who believes in him will be put to shame. For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and bestows his riches upon all who call upon him. For, ‘every one who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.'” Romans 10:8-13

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. He who believes in him is not condemned; he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.” John 3:16-18

“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23

Bold, Courageous–The Mighty

Lions have four feet headed straight forward; you will never see them walking sideways (sidestepping). They are courageous, fierce in battle, yet they often lay down to sleep.

Why do I say this?

You are like the mighty lion!

Every day when you leave your home, it takes courage to face your day. When you get in your car and drive, it takes courage to trust that you will survive. In prayer, you often pray with fierce courage–a battle you fight–yet you think nothing of it. The courage is built inside of you, it’s just part of who you are–you are made that way.

But, there are others . . .

They are afraid to leave their home; afraid to touch another, timid even to look forward, let alone walk purposefully in stride. Behind a facade they do hide. A world they have built that’s not even real, for its foundation is lies–the precepts of the enemy to hold them there; in this state of constant fear.

Think of that, when you walk effortlessly out your door–and PRAY.

Be thankful for the courage I’ve placed within you and PRAY!

Fight that fierce battle for another–lost today; imprisoned in their own home; imprisoned in their own mind. Their freedom–the key that opens the door, breaks binding chains–clears the mind, begins with you!

You are courageous!

Fight fiercely–boldly PRAY!

Pray, then take sleep; knowing that you’ve engaged in warfare for another, many others. You don’t even know their names, but on their behalf you’ve engaged Me–enlisted myriads of angels to war for them . . .

Think of that and sleep peacefully, knowing that you were courageous–

You prayed!

“The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion.” Proverbs 28:1

“Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them; and those who are ill-treated, since you also are in the body.” Hebrews 13:3

“–encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all. See that none of you repays evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to all. Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” I Thessalonians 5:14-18

Come Close

It is My hand that formed you–can I not then shape you?

It is My breath within you–shall I not sustain you?

You limit My ability by keeping Me away.

I will pray another day . . .

I would seek, but there’s no time . . .

I am tired–not now.

You are restless and lonely and fearful, for you haven’t time for ‘us.’

It is not ‘Master and servant.’

It is not–‘I’m up here and you there.’

Look to your own heart and be still before Me–I AM!

I wait–for you.

“The hand of the Lord was upon me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley; it was full of bones. And he led me round among them; and behold, there were very many upon the valley; and lo, they were very dry. And he said to me, ‘Son of man, can these bones live?” And I answered, “O Lord God, thou knowest.’ Again he said to me, ‘Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord God to these bones: Behold, you shall live. And I will lay sinews upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live; and you shall know that I am the Lord.'” Ezekiel 37:1-6

Partnering with Angels

Last night I fell into a deep sleep and had a dream.

As I awakened and was pondering the dream, the Lord spoke a name to me of someone I know. He spoke his name four times. There was such an urgency in my spirit from that name spoken to my heart, and the context of the dream, that I immediately began to pray. I felt the intensity so strongly, that I then called on leadership from my church to join in agreement. There is more power in agreement, and even though it was after midnight and I knew she would be asleep–

I felt a strong necessity in my heart to PRAY RIGHT NOW!

I am so happy she was willing and heard the call for help because, as we prayed, an anointing came on our prayer. It came just as she was speaking, and I urged her to continue. Within minutes, the Angels arrived. I could not see them, but my dog jumped up on the couch; looking behind the couch, which is open-backed to a hallway, he let out a fierce growl. It was the same growl he gave when the Angel came a few days ago and touched my shoulders. I have only heard this growl from him three times and each time it preceded an Angel. This time the Angel touched me on my arm. I knew in my spirit that he was directing me to send them on assignment. So I commissioned them to go to the couple we were praying for, to minister to them on behalf of our prayers.

They immediately left, and we continued to pray.

In what seemed like a very short time, they returned. Again my dog alerted with the fierce growl, which they must silence, for each time he only gets out one quick growl; and then he stops and doesn’t bark, whine, growl further or even move a muscle but his eyes never leave that spot! I heard, “It is finished.” We began rejoicing, praising God and thanking the Angels for their ministry.

“Bless the Lord, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his word, hearkening to the voice of his word!” Psalm 103:20

I didn’t know I had that kind of adrenaline left in me.

It was exhilarating and wonderful to know that we can partner with the Angels of God, participating in warfare, for our brothers and sisters in Christ. I praise God for His unending Faithfulness to His children!

Update:  Two weeks later, everything was confirmed that we had been led to pray. Praise the Lord!

I remember a time, many years ago, when I had a fellowship group that met in my home. We were worshiping, and I felt an unction to stop immediately and pray for the son of a woman present in the group. We obeyed and she later found out that he had been, AT THAT MOMENT, rock climbing and had lost his footing. He was hanging precariously off the side of a cliff . . .

I expect the Angels helped him to safety.

She reported back to us, and praised God for her son being safe; an incident that we knew nothing about, but participated in because God knew and we obeyed.

We have legions of Angels at our disposal, waiting to act on our behalf; when we are acting in agreement with the Lord and His Word. Just think of the impact the Body of Christ could have in this world if we all find our place; and take prayer to a higher level–in communion with the very heart and agenda of God!

I urge you to seek Him for your place in the Kingdom here on earth.

There is much to be done and everyone has a part!

“But to which of the angels said he at any time, sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?” Hebrews 1:13-14 KJV

“Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels?” Matthew 26:53

“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I go to the Father. Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son; if you ask anything in my name, I will do it.” John 14:12-14

Together in Prayer

This morning I awakened with a really, really bad headache. I asked the Lord to take it from me and that is all I remember. He must have instantly put me back to sleep, for when I awakened again there was a cool breeze rushing through my head and all of the pain was gone.

And then He spoke this message to me . . .

You’re trying too hard, and this stresses you. We are partners, you and I, a team.

Allow Me to carry you.

I carry your concerns–right to the Throne and I speak them, even as you speak them. I speak of you, even as you speak of Me–to the Father, you are bound to Me.

So I ask you to bear down, but I will push through–together, we will birth what’s stirring in you!

The strain, the headache, come from works.

I ask you to rest, as prayer flows through you.

It is My Strength, you rely on, and My Power in you–together we see this thing through.

Together–I AM in you!

“I do not pray that thou shouldst take them out of the world, but that thou shouldst keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; thy word is truth. As thou didst send me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. And for their sake I consecrated myself, that they also may be consecrated in truth. I do not pray for these only, but also for those who believe in me through their word, that they may all be one; even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. The glory which thou hast given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, I in them and thou in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved them even as thou hast loved me. Father, I desire that they also, whom thou hast given me, may be with me where I am, to behold my glory which thou hast given me in thy love for me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father, the world has not known thee, but I have known thee; and these know that thou hast sent me. I made known to them thy name, and I will make it known, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.” John 17:15-26

To One of the Ninety-Nine

Dear Little One,

I have heard your heart’s cry, though you think I AM far away.

I see your fear, I feel your strain, and I know you have lost your way. But My Heart, it’s oh so very tender toward you; though you feel the Heavens are as brass.

In times of chaos and unrest, I ask you to step into the Cleft. Hidden in the Rock, is where I bid you come. Now is not a time to search by feelings, for ‘feelings’ would betray you. Now is not a time to ‘hunker down,’ although the isolation would seem to put you there.

Now is a time to search, for the lost are everywhere.

My child do you see, that but for I go thee? For you too were once lost. I ask you to remember. It is easy, so easy to forget that, that was once you!

The fear, the stumbling in the dark. A heart that feels clenched, for there’s no foot-hold; no path to lead the way–show them, for you know. You have the light, and the path you do see–that path that leads to Me.

Imagine what you face today, without a trace of Me.

And then run to another, do whatever you can do, to show them the One who is True.

Please bring them to Me, for I love them too!

And so, you thought it was you that was lost. For you didn’t feel or see Me. No, you were given a gift–a glimpse into the heart of another, of one that doesn’t know the way.

I leave the ninety-nine, to seek the one that is lost. Will you come with Me–would you join Me? Your place is inside of Me, hidden in the Cleft.

Come we must seek, for the days are bleak. Many are lost today. Not one, but many are lost today.

PRAY!

“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost, until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.’ Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.” Luke 15:4-7

“I do not pray for these only, but also for those who believe in me through their word, that they may all be one; even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.” John 17:20-21

“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, who abides in the shadow of the Almighty, will say to the Lord, ‘My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.’ For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence; he will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and a buckler. You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.” Psalms 91:1-6

Flying Safe!

A plane may have flown a thousand flights, with an experienced pilot at the helm, yet could easily crash and burn without outside guidance.

Some decisions must not be made on your own; you need guidance from above, from one who sees the whole picture and your future.

You must pray!

Do you understand that, without Me, you wouldn’t have an inkling of where to go? Many fly on autopilot and don’t realize I AM guiding.

Be more aware of My guidance in your life–My direction.

Be actively involved.

Pray with an expectation to hear, for I AM here and I wish to speak to you. I wish to be involved in your process, not just called upon when you are hurting or have lost your way.

I AM Friend.

I AM Family.

I AM the Voice you hear–tune in so I AM clear!

When you consider the way–I AM!

“Yea, thou dost light my lamp; the Lord my God lightens my darkness. Yea, by my God I can leap over a wall. This God–his way is perfect; the promise of the Lord proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him. For who is God, but the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God? The God who girded me with strength, and made my way safe. He made my feet like hinds’ feet, and set me secure on the heights. He trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze. Thou hast given me the shield of thy salvation, and thy right had supported me, and thy help made me great. Thou didst give a wide place for my steps under me, and my feet did not slip.” Psalms 18:28-36

“Let me hear in the morning of thy steadfast love, for in thee do I put my trust. Teach me the way I should go, for to thee I lift up my soul. Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies! I have fled to thee for refuge! Teach me to do thy will, for thou art my God! Let thy good spirit lead me on a level path!” Psalms 143:8-10

“Blessed be the Lord! For he has heard the voice of my supplications. The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts; so I am helped, and my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him. The Lord is the strength of his people, he is the saving refuge of his anointed. O save thy people, and bless thy heritage; be thou their shepherd, and carry them forever.” Psalms 28:6-9

Do not hold back from supporting ministries that are preaching the gospel around the world. They serve the Lord and are reaching places you may never see. When you support the preaching of the gospel, you support the Lord’s work and hasten our coming Lord, King Jesus!

I AM Coming Soon!

Announce to the world that I AM COMING!

It is expedient that everyone know that!

But, they’ve been hearing it for many years. . .

The world languishes under the weight of sin–it groans for release!

I cannot tary much longer, though I long to wait, for those whose fate is further captivity.

I AM THE GOD of FREEDOM. . .

their god is punishment.

I AM PEACE. . .

their god is torment.

I AM ABUNDANT. . .

their god is lack.

I DON’T HOLD BACK. . .

their god doesn’t give back.

Therefore the Righteous TAKETH BY FORCE!

Be FORCEFUL in your prayers–FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH!

You are fighting for the lost.

Stand like David–FACE THE GIANT with CONFIDENCE and FIGHT for your people. . .

those who don’t know you–your future brothers and sisters in Christ. . .

Those who don’t KNOW.

They are your neighbor–fight for them!

Fight to WIN!

Your BATTLE is in prayer–

and I AM there!

“For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love be servants of one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'” Galatians 5:13-14

My First Book is Now Available

‘Comfort In The Challenge’

“You don’t have to look far to find someone coping with a challenge. It may be a friend, co-worker, parent or child. Maybe you need only to look within. The list of trials in life is endless–the challenge within. But God knows the need, and He knows the heart of the one you love–He knows YOU!

‘Comfort in the Challenge’ is filled with messages spoken from the heart of God. Inside you will find that God loves you and He cares about you, personally, and what you care about matters to Him. He wants to take that care, in exchange, with His thoughts of Love, Hope, Healing, and Direction. He speaks to the need, He speaks to You, to bring you–‘Comfort In The Challenge.'”

All royalties for the life of this book will go directly to the ministry, Canaanland, of Autaugaville, Alabama. Canaanland, takes in men that have lost control of their lives to addiction and crime. Their tremendous (40 year) success rate has often prompted the judges of the surrounding area to offer, Canaanland, as an alternative to jail time. But, Canaanland, is not a bail from jail; it is a golden opportunity for those who truly want a new life! I have met some of these men and they are so full of joy that they absolutely shine–truly transformed by the love of God!

Canaanland charges nothing for a year stay; including room and board for their families as well, if necessary. I find the true dedication of Canaanland, in surrounding these men with love, and the life-changing power of the Word of God, to be unsurpassed. All is made possible through the dedication and hard work of these men, and generous donations of partner support.

It is their vision, to have a ‘Canaanland’ in every state, and my vision for this book, to help them realize this goal. Will you join me in helping these men and their families receive a new life? Will you consider purchasing ‘Comfort in the Challenge’ for your friends, loved ones, for yourself–for Canaanland? The books are beautiful and I am over-the-top excited for you to receive yours!
