How amazing is it that we are a part of the end times?

There will be witness to the collapse of the government and political systems. Those still here will witness a one world curency and the re-building of the temple in Jeruselem. We will get to see prophesy being filfilled. God's people will be here... building the witnesses and converting those aching to know God. There will be God's people here on earth in those days to dance to God's glory coming and shout the name of Jesus!

How Faith-altering will it be to truly trust in the Lord?

His provision have already been set before us. All our needs will be taken care of. We will be a part of the victorious army that rises in the last battle.

Satan has already lost the war. Now he is only fighting for your soul. ha! His only stronghold is the sin you carry. Without that he has no armor, and no weapon. He is weak, and defenseless. Without the fight over our minds he cannot triumph over our hearts. He is so measly. He has nothing left. He will get desperate. He IS desperate. He wants nothing more than to see your faith falter, your mind collapse in it's overwhelming uncertainities.

You. You, on the other hand... You have armor. And justic and guidance. Fight. More. Always. The battle is on now... now and in the very last days when we will get to see victory. Oh yes... victory is brewing. Defenses are being put into place. Have been since Jesus. Jesus was the first page of the end times, and the closer we get the more victory we will get to see. The more prophesy we see come to pass.

Part of the prophesy is you. Your faithfullness. Your witness. That is a prophesy of before you were born. The purpose your life holds. The small great works and the great victory's. Your purpose is around you, in you, for the glory of God through you. Everyday the small and great works. Everyday the opportunites to show the love of God and the pinnacle of grace given though Jesus Christ. We have it- they want it- we kow how to get it.

I encourage you to learn to listen without speaking. Let the Lord guide you into the opporunities that will bless and soften hearts. It's easier when you kow the victory is already yours. Any blame already taken from you. And all hardships guided by the hand of God. Do you believe that?

I don't know what going on! ha-ha! It's a little exciting.

I got off the waitlist and back into school for my bachelors. Praise God!

I have half a month to move and have no idea where I am moving or where the finding will come from to make it happen. Praise God!

Last week I was sent a huge blessing to attending the Calgry Stampede with my children- all abundant costs covered! Praise God!

I get to see glimpses of what my future holds. Praise God!

I have joy in the midst of caos. I can remember to have peace that is not my own. Praise God!

I have trust when there is no understanding. I can remember not to worry. Praise God!

I get to see my Faith in action- it's so hard that I can only Praise God!

I'm applying for housing, finances, application after application. I'm doing what I can do. I'm in touch with resources, community counsellors. I don't have to do it on my own. Praise God!

Two weeks- 17days- my life will be turned upside down over to the other side of the mountain. Prasie God!

I am changing and I have no idea whats going on! Learn to forget to worry and wait for what will come to pass in the season. Let your tust of God- who is bigger than ANYTHING in this world- hold you strong to hope. Do what you can then let God bring His plan to pass.

It will be hard- but it will be ok. That was my promise given. It was revealed that I should expect it to be hard- so in waiting for the end of my season I look for that promise to pass. For it to be O.K. Praise God!

I hope you can be filled with renewed earning today -For the path of God, for His promises, for your transformation to come to pass so you can be changed. God is so good. He will not fail in His promises if you can hold strong in your seasons. Believe in the promises they will be yours.

Praise God today.

Be careful what you talk about when it comes to revelations. In the end there is a warning about changing words or adding to them- Rev 22:18. It is a book that is hard to understand... but I believe the purpose is for the prophesyto be revealed at the appointed time... it will make more sense after it comes to pass.

When you speak be careful. Question it but don't interpret it unless you have heard the word from your Spirit. Only claim in of it only what you have taken time to explore and meditate on. Ask for God to reveal the truth to you.

There are pieces of a revealed prophesy. Even the ones you may have. There will be a time for the whole intact picture to be prophesied. One thing I do know is that the Holy Spirit is with us stronger than ever. Christianity is changing. Have you noticed?

 Be still. Have peace.

Here I am, in distress about my situation... I am suffering...and one of our friends from T.V land had to remind me, it is what I had prayed for. Well, really what I had prayed for was to continue to be a light to the unbelievers in my life. And I prayed for a ministry. Really what I was praying for was to become greater than I was so I would be equipped to handle it. I didn't know at the time what it would take in me to bring this to pass. I didn't contemplate- or even take into consideration- the process I would go through to be prepared for this answer to prayer. Oh my oh my I'll tell you right now, because of this process I am in, even still- already!- hearts are softening to God. As my Faith is challenged but my hope does not waver- it wavers others in their beliefs.  Softened hearts are the ones that our Lord can begin to change. It happens when others see Jesus in us.

Now, my will and strength breaks apart so it may be rebuilt- always stronger than before. When suffering comes along, it is so important to look for what the situation may change in you. When the lessons are learnt, then God can carry you forward. God is creating in me a greater understanding, and a greater hope and trust in His provisions. I am able to catch glimpses of His plans, and peak into the changes that are taking place in me. I am able to understand why His way is so much greater. I can do it my way- nothing will stop me. I can provide for myself in this life and live untill I die... but can you imagine the things that are to come if I choose the better way?? I'm excited- and expectant- and in anticipation I am planning what I will do. I am also waiting on my transformation. I'm not finished yet...

It is so hard. I layed in bed the other night- all I could do was grasp my Bible to my chest because of the heartbreak I felt. It feels like your heart is being wrenched from your chest, pulled and streched. It physically hurts. Your body is crying for it all to end and aching for relief. Oh, if only it would just stop!- it is a suffering of your soul- you are become shaped and moulded into something greater. That night I had to reconise that this was the change I needed to go through. The process is always the hardest part.

Don't feel sorry for me, even though I'm sure so many of you can sympathise with this kind of heart wrenching, soul clenching, beyond tears kind of torment- it is so human. Just give some praise to God that I am being led through this. That I can reconise how my body and soul will battle me on these internal changes that will ultimately bring me closer to God- if only I can trust HIM through this. Trust Him- my friends. Embrace your pain... let it change you. Praise God that we can GROW closer to Him.

God IS good. Let your eyes be opened upon the changes He asks you to make. Tonight, I'll have no tears... only expectations of greater things tomorrow. Always expect the best from our God.

Bless you... with all my heart I hope this for you.

Sometimes I wonder... reading about the struggles of God's people, why it is so hard for us. Why would we need to work so hard to get by and get ahead. To go by month to month not knowign where the blessings will come from. But then I realise, our stuggles are a gift. Faith pleases the Lord God... we have the blessed opportunities to have faith, and trust in our heavenly Father who provides all our needs. It is by Faith we are righteous. What a gift. I need to remember my stuggle is a blessing. God is not doing it to me... He is working through me. I can praise God through my tears!

I remember too, how important it is to cleans your soul of sin, so that God's plans could be carried out in us.

What a blessing it is to know we will be restored, taken care of, without worry or fear. What a great God we have. I count my blessings tonight too... I had enough money to go grocery shopping. My kids laughed with me tonight and I was reminded how much they love me. I am finding direction and motivation to understand what achievements God wants me to have. Thank-you blessed Father for this time of struggle- I get to learn how to trust greater, hope harder, and be forever in awe of your Grace.

Now let the light shine through... Lord let me wake up with peace in my heart, and bless me tomorrow so I may praise you in my joy. Let me see direction and may your plan move in my life- heavenly provider- unfailing protector- awsome deliverer- and gracious hand of justice. Amen.

Have Faith. Know truth. Shine.

You know what's funny? I am really discouraged today. I feel like the tools I have right now to get ahead are too small for my problem. I'm worried and I want to ask God just to let me cry it out. Just don't look for a minute Lord, lest it look like a fault of faithlessness.

The person today who offered me encouragement was from someone who openenly and adamantly denies God's power and grace and provision. He denies God is as good as they say He is. He was the one today who reminded me I had already set it to prayer- and to trust that there was a place out there for me.

Faith is contagious. I will go through whatever it is God has set for me- if only I can know my struggles will reach out to others. If this person can have Faith in God- without believing- I'm sure I can get through this day- then tomorrow- and hope that then the sun will come out. Living in Faith- expect a praise report very soon... Praise God for me would you?... now, and then later too.

And Lord, bring it on!

So, the Lord wants us to make us more Holy and closer to Him. He wants transformations from us, because this is how we become closer connected with Him. God accomplishes this not without suffering. When we suffer it serves to gain appreciation of His love and mercy. We can begin to value more Holy things and transform our character by gaining wisdom from the Bible. In effect by strengthening you Spirit and cleansing your soul.

This kind of thing is very touchy to talk about- as it can be so easily twisted into something ungodly. If you’re interested please hear me out.

A closer relationship with God begins with understand the love of God. Jesus said the most important commandment is to love the Lord and each other. If you love, you are doing right. We gain understand of this love when we accept the love of God. Then we proceed to love others in the same way. This is when we are quick to forgive, show mercy, and give willingly; for starters. This love sparks a fire to know God more closely.

When we let God in to our lives in an effort to be more like Jesus and strengthen the Spirit through conscious cleansing of your errors and sin (within the soul), God’s voice and wisdom become clearer to understand. There are desires of your flesh, then desires of God. The desires of the Lord will make things right and bring prosperity. If there is an abandoning of darkness the light shines brighter. This is a process and God understands that process. He expects exactly what we do; our faults, errors, and failures. It’s already in His plan. Amazing?

The other very important part of becoming closer to God is through the Bible. It was written just for us. You remember God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow? So read Isaiah and see how it applies to you. In this same way the Lord with work in your life. When God `speaks` to your Spirit through the Bible; it becomes easier to understand what messages were meant for you. Have you ever felt that? I wouldn’t pretend to know unless I have. And it’s very clear when it does.

Understanding God’s character helps you understand the transformation of your own character. I have recently been through a very difficult process of change and transformation. When it began I had understood that the Lord was telling me it was going to be hard but it was going to be ok. That was powerfully strengthening and enlightening through this process. I had a couple dreams that helped me understand direction. Even before my process began, God was consoling me. He cared so much about the pain I would be going through. Now, I’ve had my grief period- suffered my suffering and trust that the changes will bring blessings from God. I consciously decided to wait on God- even when it was unbearable- I learned patience like I had never had! I decided to believe and not doubt that I was on a path of planning and understanding. It will strengthen my faith even more praise the Lord! I also asked myself through the process: what would be Holy? I painstakingly allowed myself to face the fault of my errors and my own personal faults. 

Don’t get me wrong- The ONLY way to be connected with God is through Jesus. By accepting His sacrifice and believing He was raised from death. Jesus conquered death. Our sins are forgiven- the ones you have made, presently made, or God knows you will make. Becoming closer to God is so essential for His plans to work out. Take up your cross, and strive to learn how Jesus taught us to be. Then be it.

Love. Shine. Listen.

"My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me." -John 10:27

I’ve started to wonder what it means to take up your cross and follow Jesus. I have heard the line of scripture many times, but I have never really stopped to try to understand what that means. I heard the answer the other day as I was getting ready for bed and it was renewably so clear to me. The cross Jesus talks about is not the relic of a cross, the carved wood image. It is what the cross represents.

The cross had two purposes. First was to fulfill the purpose of God. Jesus knew the cross He bore; He walked into His own undoing willingly. The night before Judas approached Jesus with the intention of betrayal Jesus had taken a few of His disciples and asked them to wait while He prayed. You know it was very late because the disciples could not stay awake. Jesus had a last-minute torment and wanted His closest friends to be with Him. I imagine he was talking to God with such anguish in his heart- fleshly fear crowding His determination. Jesus knew there would be lashes, and scorn, and unimaginable pain. I wonder if Jesus pleaded with his Father for another way to fulfill the will of God. He would be asking for strength and renewing his commitment to the Almighty who destined His plan for Jesus as we all have destined plans. No matter what Jesus had prayed about that night, He walked into the arms of Judas the betrayer willingly. Jesus was set on God’s purpose. The important part in all of this is that Jesus knew he would endure the day to come like no sinless man should have to. Jesus still took up his cross and determined himself to follow through with God’s plan; trusting Him.

The second thing the cross represents is sin- Jesus died to sin. Jesus redeemed all sin on the cross. So when you take up your cross, what sins do you take up with you? Taking up your cross represents dying to your flesh and sin. God wants us to be more holy in all situations. He wishes this for us so that we may become more like Jesus and have a stronger connection to God. He wishes for us to be able to see His face and hear his love in our Spirits like a second nature. But first, you must identify your sins and eliminate them form your soul. God will help reveal this- as only He can know what you carry.

Each of us will take up our cross in our own way when we set ourselves on God’s purpose and stop the sins we commit. This is how we disengage from the antics and destructions of the world, and learn to live God’s way of life- the way of life he had already planned out for our taking.

I continue to seek God’s purpose. I continue to identify my sins- lust, envy, bad language, smoking, speaking to others in an ungodly way, anger. I don’t think I could end the list… it’s an every day reflection of my ways. I often feel like a failure, and a disappointment to the Lord. I wonder if I have gone too far off of God’s path to ever reconcile. I beat myself up over my mere humanity. How I can be so small and so unknowing. How can I continue to be ignorant to God even when my GOD has spoken? But I also know God would not tell me those things- but Satan would love for me to believe them. Don’t listen to these things- but take up your cross to Calvary (figuratively). Set yourself on God purpose and let God help you cleans your soul. And you remember what happened at the end of the road for Jesus- someone else carried the cross for him. Beautiful, Just what I will do! Take my cross as far as I can go so I will understand the weight of my transgressions so my God can pick it up for me and carry it the rest of the way. My redemption is in the purpose of God- and I can not fail hard enough that he can no longer redeem me. How great is our GOD?!?

Be set in His purpose.

As I practice listening to God, I am more aware of the voice of word and prayer when it is over me. I feel a little tinkle in my heart and I know someone is praying, and I can feel a touch of power in me. And I speak "yes I receive it". Can you feel it too?

How can I deny God and His awesome work and power when it flows through me? My delight is in the knowledge that He is powerful and nothing can be measured beyond His control. My suffering provides me with strength and a greater trust in Him. My Faith puts to work the powers of the Almighty and allow movement in my life.

As I sit and wait, practicing the patience taught to me by the Lord, I learn how important Faith is in my life. I twiddle my thumbs a little, and sometimes forget to not worry about the possibilities because they are beyond measure of my imagination. I feel a torrent of change coming into my life and while the enemy whispers fear into my mind, I set my heart right with God and delight in the Hope I have in Him. What a wonderful feeling to know I am not alone. It is harmonious to know that a higher power wants nothing more for me than ultimate satisfaction that comes with surrender. A wilful act of Love awaits me in the future.

My Lord! My God! Come upon your people and touch our hearts. I pray you too may come to recognise the tingle of power that reaches into your soul and understand that it is from God. My heart flutters at the though of perfect deliverance and unending prosperity. I will endure the things in my life that will try to destroy my Faith in God so I can show Him that I trust Him. I want to show Him that I can overcome my adversities with aire of absolution. I want to make Him proud of the conquests I achieve. I want nothing more than to have my God smile upon me and whisper in my soul "well done my faithful servant".

Bring upon me your power O'Lord in my weakness. Send me word and reason to Hope in you. I will open my Bible again today, and seek the Lord so I may be able to hear His voice. He already has provided me with the chance to hear Him if I open my ears and expect a word. I will turn from each sin, one by one. God knows I can only handle one at a time in my weak will. I recognise I am weak and this brings me greater awe before Him of His mercy and grace over my life.

Seek His word for you today. Stand in awe

Still in the middle of my crisis and beating my brains out trying to figure out what is right, and what God's will is- I want my choices to reflect His desires. Yesterday the answer came to me. Seek first His righteousness and all this will be yours. I knew that, I really did, but I forgot to remeber it in the midst of my worrying.

So here I am, contemplating the most righteous decisions I can make- and I am making steps toward them and anticipating the revelation that will come to me. My revelation awaits the appointed time and will not dely. My deliverance is in the plans that are at work as we speak. But I cannot get in line behind God if I do not chose to walk in His perfect ways.

So now I put on my helmet of salvation and fix my heart in faith- and expect the answers to come sooner than I think. My suffering will bring my greatest joy and my greatest victory of the enemy's advances. I turn to the word of God and wait for the Lord to speak to me. I keep my thoughts fixed on righteousness and truth; and I need to stop worrying! God's word is all around you- found in the Bible but also found through others speaking with the Guidance of the Holy Spirit. Your Spirit will whisper which truths are yours- trust the word and act in Faith.  

Always Praise God!
