Roots Grow Deep When Winds Grow Strong

For those who are suffering in silence, even while in Churches… Are you frustrated even more than you were while you sat to hear?

For those who are suffering in silence, even while in Churches…

Are you frustrated even more than you were while you sat to hear?

What did you hear?  REALLY?

Does it line up with the holy Scripture?

Regardless of those who supposedly corrected, judged you without having the understanding, do not fret, or doubt that God loves you and has a table prepared for just you!

You are loved by The Creator of the whole universe!  Really!

Take this time now to just get quiet, and remember that keeping your focus on the universe in which time has no restraint is a huge deal!

God knows you were born into iniquity and HE already planned your life beyond time.

Your life is precious to God. His love is above anything.  And the sin, once and for all was paid for in full!

Why?  Because The LORD planned and purposed YOU into HIM!  Thank you Jesus!

“You therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.”  2 Timothy 2:1.

The creator (GOD) has paid the price in full for all time and eternity and you are never alone!

If you have received The LORD and asked forgiveness of all sin, He knows our hearts and accepts our repentance.  But we must not turn back to what he forgave us from.

When we accept The LORD as our Savior, there will be evidence of who we belong to.  It is important that we understand our redemption is payment in full and it was forever.  We will know each other by the fruits of the Spirit.

GOD knew the sacrifice of sending his own son being a portion of Himself in Jesus Christ , God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit!

He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete in you!

The LORD God Almighty knows from the beginning and has planned how you will bring great glory to HIS name!  And He longs for the time we are to give him (PRAYER) even though we don’t necessarily feel or sense Him.

The one who had already judged once and for all, desires your time with Him! He wants you to understand that HE knows you, and it is his plan for a relationship with him through prayer with you!  (Communication!)

So we get bigger in Him and HE in us the more we communicate with him!

It is possible in our relationship to become so very close to Him and we can become very sensitive to The LORD and it can be like heaven on earth.

God isn’t begging and He has given us the free will and free choice to be one with him or not. Why would we say we have a close relationship with God, if we never want to seek him in prayer, the Word, and Worship!

Prayer is amazing beloved because we can become so in tune with the Holy Spirit and when he trusts us, he shares secrets. (Amos 3:3)

“By that will, we are having been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.”   Hebrews 10:10 BSB

We all start somewhere in our journey and aren’t you glad that God gives us a new beginning each day and even more if needed.  Those who have suffered much, love much.

“Where can I go to escape Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend to the heavens, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, You are there.  If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle by the farthest sea.…”   Psalm 139:7-9.

I am amazed when I listen or watch Church services.  Many of them have no understanding or training about the things they teach and those who judge you.

Those who have suffered great winds of adversity are the very ones whom God can use!

God wants you to receive because they who have been blown away had no root in themselves and our roots, our good roots must grow deep so that when storms grow like in prayer, going deep in the Word of God, and worship.

I am reaching out to those who suffer Trauma and PTSD.  If you don’t understand what it is please educate yourself, pray for them but don’t attack people with it!

Reach out to pray, encourage, or become quiet because they need PRAYER, love, connection, acceptance with others who understand and if you still don’t understand please just pray in silence.

If you are suffering this I understand you, I can pray for you and talk to you and understand you.

Jesus can reach you no matter where you are.

People’s judgements will not keep you from God.

You are loved, you are accepted just where you are!

Just as you are, come to Jesus HE cares for you!

Plain Truth Without Deception

God has said that Judgment must come to The House of God. The Cross has never been a popular topic — but we need it now more than ever.

We are living in the most serious of times nationally, internationally, and personally and things are going to become worse, but for The Remnant Church, it will be the best of times, because we have learned to abide in The Vine — and He knows how much we love Him.

But God has said that Judgment must come to The House of God.

The Cross has never been a popular topic — but we need it now more than ever.

Repentance isn’t popular — neither are the thoughts of living or dying.

Beloved, this is so serious, and God seeks for those who have a broken and contrite heart to respond to him.  Those who are serious.

When was the last time you thought of a person who used to be strong in God?  That is not a fleeting thought!  You need to pray for them and contact them!

What our parents and grandparents had to go through Spiritually back then, would not sustain us now.

The time has sped up, and no gray area exists now and when God says to “Go!” you must know His Voice and go!

Today, so many things are being played out right in front of our eyes on God’s timeline.

Just because you see a lot of people involved in spiritual events. doesn’t mean they are right with God.

And this is the time to realize that when you chose God, it cost you something, “THE CROSS.”

What that means is, The Cross is our means of crucifying the flesh and by picking it up it’s God’s purpose for our life.

Who’s your baby?  What are you loving more than Jesus?

What is that that you are putting before The LORD?

God is jealous of our time and what we put before Him.

There will be no mixture between truth and error.  You cannot mix oil and water.

When we mix and abide with others, that are mixture is a scary place to be especially now!

No man knows the day or hour, but I cannot help but say, we are living in very precarious times!

The LORD is coming back for a church without spot, wrinkle, or any blemish.  Only abiding in Christ daily and holiness will keep us covered and protected by his shed blood on Calvary.

“Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see The LORD,” Hebrews 12:14.

You are either hot or cold, black or white, and no one can STRADDLE THE FENCE, and there’s no gray area anymore because those times are over.

When you seek God with a pure repented heart that is where the remnant abides.

How can we be with the love of our life and not want to talk to him daily?

He is our bridegroom; he is who we love, and we love none other the same.

However, we must choose each day who we serve.  There’s an accountability with choosing.

This isn’t some type of mechanical type of relationship, he wants you to love him because he loves you, but he won’t make you do that.  That is why he gave us free will and free choice.

He created you for His pleasure!

He wanted a free thinking human being to choose to want him and to love him.

Satan was the Angel that covered The throne before he was cast to earth.

He didn’t want to love God, he wanted to take over God in rebellion and in his Kingdom.

Satan is still on the same track working on God’s creation, MAN. Satan wants to twist every man, woman , and child to choose to not believe.

When we are distracted all the time we can never find time.  Prayer is communicating to God.

Just talk to him like you would talk to an easy person in Jesus’ name.

If you are serious, He will hear you.  He wants you to choose Him.

I can tell you this, I have lived life and suffered greatly from following the enemy but I have found that The LORD is everything to me, no one can touch me like He does.

No one can touch me the way He did — as He made himself so clear to me!

Those who are forgiven of little, love little, and those that are forgiven of much more, love the most!

We are supposed to be part of the remnant church of Christ. It makes no difference your titles or gifting to a denomination, group, organization, Church, it makes no difference what you call yourself, what does Jesus call you?

God often must tear things down in our lives, to be able to build us back up so that we rise in true holiness.

God must convict us and tear down man-made agenda’s to be able to build up His plan for us.

But we must realize to partake in the deeper things of God, we must grow deeper still. It will cost your life to have Jesus full time!

I want everything that He has for me.

I delight myself in The LORD and He gives me the desires of my heart!

Oh, how to find him in whom my soul yearns for, oh what a lover he is, nary another could ever turn my heart or head!

Finding my LORD behind the lattice made me long for him more, so there are no foxes to destroy the vine, I long for his breath and ever so slight whisper into the night….

“Trust in The LORD and do good; dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness. Delight yourself in The LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to The LORD; trust in Him, and He will do it”   Psalm 37:3-5.

The Promotion of a Child-like Soul

It is important to pray diligently and to know your circle of ministry friends.  We are to KNOW those who labor among us.

It is important to pray diligently and to know your circle of ministry friends.  We are to KNOW those who labor among us.

“You have been badgered and hated because of where I AM taking you.  Your promotion is that to a child, for the last shall be first the first last.

Touch not these children nor hinder their way.  Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not for such are the Kingdom of God.”

“Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not for they are the Kingdom of God.”   Matthew 3:11.

“Since you have gone through an unusual amount of afflictions, get ready, for your strength is being made perfect in your weakness and you shall have victory.

You can tell something new has transpired.  For things that have bothered you no longer do; it is like water down a duck’s back.

I have given you strength to face anything and everything that comes your way.

Give Me time, to sit before Me…. Hear My Voice.  Obey My Voice….

I will show them and you will keep quiet in humility under my method of preparation, forged in the fire of afflictions. but they will see very different images as glass is blown into delicate forms, so shall I create such beauty that many won’t touch.

As you decrease I AM increase.  Put no trust in man, keep your inner man and outer man stayed upon Me,” says The LORD.

“What is typical doesn’t register — because you are not typical!

You have been forged in the furnace of affliction and during the heat of battles.  But yet the refinement hasn’t caused rage or anger but to have a delicate dealing within and to those without.

Love covers a multitude of sin and iniquity.

The Church is being made ready to run, overtake, and recover all.  For in the midst of chaos and upheavals I will be the path that I share to provide a garrison about you.”

“The axe lies ready at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. I baptize you with water for repentance, but after me will come One more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.  His winnowing fork is in His hand to clear His threshing floor and to gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”  Matthew 3:10-12.

“I shall revive My People for they will press in for new wine, and as the answers are in the pressing of My Church.

There is a great network that will gather in the harvest of fish (= souls) !  And many who were neglected that shall be Baptized in the Fire of The Holy Ghost!

As the enemy comes in like a flood I will raise up a standard against him — and by Faith begin to take what you have and begin to do what I AM has said to you.

I built The Church and that Rock Christ Jesus stands and the gates of hell will not be able to stop what I will do through the ones I have destined to break down all opposition.   Selah….”

Growing and Living in Faith

None of us are islands to ourselves, and no matter how mature we become physically, emotionally, and spiritually, we all still struggle at times.

I woke up and remembered 40 yrs ago my baby girl Meggie was born, and she was so sleepy, but a joy to raise.

None of us are islands to ourselves, and no matter how mature we become physically, emotionally, and spiritually, we all still struggle at times.

I find a lot of people as they get older, are not as open to share things with others, often because of the stigma attached, and how it can be taken wrongly, or be used against us with the twisting of words, that affect others to make us feel so alone.

It is sad, yet we are not alone.  God knows the rest of the our story, and there are those who are observers on how things are happening.

We know people by their fruit of The Spirit, and we know them by their Character.

When we have close relationships we are not quick to judge… we are to take it before The LORD and not make hasty decisions.

After knowing someone for a while, you have tested and seen how The LORD uses them, and we are not hasty to miss the way!

When we feel like accusing, we need to be sure.  We know them by the consistency of their character and lives.

How can we rightly discern by one incident that comes?

Why are we so quick to hear?

I notice at times a wonderful relationship can get disqualified quickly when the other person is ready to check out and block over a little issue — but it becomes a royal battle.

What I believe, is that we should pull away and seek The LORD before we make majors decisions, especially godly decisions about people, those who are in our lives.

It is my Hope and Prayer that I always remain kind, truthful, generous, transparent, loyal to God and those whom I trust.

Being honest and true must come from the heart, because God knows all things, even the things of the heart that we don’t see about ourselves!

As we grow in Faith, that doesn’t mean we are always up in our Faith, and we see the external things instead of what is in the Spirit.

It is important that we understand the realms we are in, and be sure to always be spiritually minded AND earthly good.

If we sin, discredit, accuse, and outcast or cut off a sister or brother, this is a heinous crime to the great Body of Believers in Christ.

Why?  We want the natural realm to take preeminence.  Flesh and blood cannot inherit The Kingdom of God.

We read about Miracles, Signs of Wonders and Words, but then maybe a day later after killing the prophets of Baal — Elijah wanted to die!

Depression, fear and failure, discouragement — we can see what is happening.

God left these people in the Bible for our benefit, so that we can learn from them!

They were very human — just like we are — and these things happen in The Body, even  with the very mature.

We are to always be advancing and continuing to grow more and more — and to help other people to move forward in The LORD.

Elijah was fearful and running from Jezebel’s threatening words after such Signs and Wonders for Elijah became fearful when he heard about Jezebel and her words and threats to kill him.

The people said that “Jezebel is going to kill you!”  I try to look beyond that.  I try to look beyond the people and look beyond the person, into the spiritual motive and see how I would respond to that.

I hope I never get into a situation like that, but it does happen to people and seasoned believers.  It doesn’t matter how old or how anointed, we all have imperfect ways, lots of attitudes, words, and all that we allow in our lives.

Forgiveness is mandatory — for if we will not forgive, The LORD will not forgive us.

There are no options!  Either the person will be forgiven — or won’t be.  We must learn that, even if we have legal grounds, or did not do what they thought or its in the wrong spirit.

Something all we learn is to be accused and punished, even when we are innocent and right.  Thus, sometimes a very difficult situation.

But we cannot hold a grudge or unforgiveness!  Be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to wrath!

“Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Draw near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong. Do not be quick to speak, and do not be hasty in your heart to utter a word before God. After all, God is in heaven and you are on earth.  So let your words be few.”   Ecclesiastes 5:1-2.

Being quick to “Accuse” — isn’t a work of The Holy Spirit!  God sides with The Truth, based and founded on The Holy Bible.

I know I fail, but I try to be as real, respectful, and very transparent with people, because that’s protection.

If we are found in the pit on our way to our destiny in Egypt, we must remain the best in whatever circumstances we find ourselves in.

The devil uses whatever he can to stop, hinder, and ruin relationships.  The Body of Christ needs to learn how to love and be a family of believers — not those who hide thinking we know more!

I have nothing to hide, and The LORD still has me, and I’m still moving forward, but what the enemy wants is to keep me running from everyone and everything — and then once far enough away — I will burn out and sit down and I will get tired and depressed and say I’m no greater than my forefathers — so take me home!

There’s a lot of good reasons — but God wants us to see our own heart!

Personal Request

I want to ask if those who know me well, would pray for me.

I’m going through a lot right now, and I need Intercession.

I’m in need of true Spiritual Intercession from those who are Warriors in The Kingdom of God.

The LORD is King and He’s my God!

I ask prayerfully to please pray for me, in The Name of Jesus Christ,
