Memorial Day: National Day to Honor Our Fallen Military & All Who Served

 ... is NOT just a long weekend, Kamala! 🇺🇲😥♥️

"For those of us who have worn the military uniform, Memorial Day reminds us of the things we’ve fought for, those we’ve lost, and the impact our efforts may have had on the people we meant to serve, and the missions we meant to complete.

I don’t fault those who don’t pay the day’s significance the attention it deserves. This is because Memorial Day is only truly felt by the military community; our emotions are authentic and personal, and are difficult to explain to someone outside the military space.

It’s just not possible for them to relive experiences they’ve never had or reflect on things their eyes have never seen. As Veterans, we can’t fault them for that." - CPT Aaron Kletzing

"Memorial Day has its own unique flag etiquette. At sunrise, anyone flying a flag should raise the flag briskly to full-staff then slowly lower the flag to half-staff, according to Gettysburg Flag. This is to honor the men and women who have fallen in the line of duty. At noon, the flag should be briskly raised to full-staff. This is to salute all of those who have served.

Another tradition is the national moment of silence. At 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day, Americans are asked to pause for one minute to pay tribute to America's fallen soldiers. This became official after the passage of the The National Moment of Remembrance Act in 2000."

Does the Lord Have a Word ...

^{for these days? There will not be a return to life as we knew it before the lock down. In light of this, we should look to God's Holy Word to see what He expects from His children!
I am sharing what God brought across my path to teach me. A while back, He corrected me to lay down all the social media and let the conspiracy talk go. I am going to share what God said to a pastor that I follow that was seeking Him for answers. Holy Spirit quickened my spirit to walk this way, as well, and to share this word with others. Please ask Holy Spirit to give you God's wisdom to understand these words the Lord gave to the prophet Isaiah!}

^{Isaiah 8:10-14 (KJV) 10} Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God [is] with us. ¹¹ For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying, ¹² Say ye not, A confederacy, to all [them to] whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. ¹³ Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and [let] him [be] your fear, and [let] him [be] your dread. ^14a And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Isaiah 8:10 "Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God [is] with us."

"God is with us". The Hebrew is Immanuel. The name of the virgin’s child (7:14), guaranteed the eventual triumph of the faithful remnant of Israel.

Plans made against God and His people will never work. The Assyrians will be the sufferers in the end. These people the Assyrians are attacking are God's people. This could not happen, had God not allowed it. The victory for Assyria is short-lived.

Isaiah 8:11 "For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,"

"With a strong hand". God inspired Isaiah with compelling power to speak a message that by its nature distanced him from the people he ministered to.

This is the LORD speaking to Isaiah. Isaiah was in the hand of the LORD. Isaiah was not an idolater. He was separated from the sins of this people. He was speaking all of this representing God. He was speaking as an ambassador for God with God's message to this people.

God was his protection. It was as if he were hidden in the hand of the LORD.

Isaiah 8:12 "Say ye not, A confederacy, to all [them to] whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid."

A Confederacy means conspiracy. Many in Israel considered Isaiah, Jeremiah, and other profits to be servants of the enemy when they advocated a policy of non-reliance on foreign powers and complete dependence on the Lord alone (see Jeremiah 37:13-15).

Isaiah was to say, "Do not make a deal with these Assyrians". Isaiah is calling for the few who would, to stand up for God and be counted. He reminded them, their strength is in the LORD, and they should not fear what these worldly people could do to them.

Isaiah 8:13 "Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and [let] him [be] your fear, and [let] him [be] your dread."

"Sanctify" in the verse above means to separate the LORD and worship only Him. Fear God only. The fear, or reverence, of God is the beginning of wisdom. They were not to fear the Assyrians. This is a call to worship and fear only the LORD.

Isaiah 8:14 "And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem."

“Sanctuary … Stone of stumbling”: Isaiah found encouragement in the Lord as his holy place of protection from his accusers. The New Testament applies this verse to corporate Israel in her ongoing rejection of Jesus as Messiah (Luke 2:34; Romans 9:32-33; 1 Peter 2:8). Both the houses of Israel will be collapsed until the return of the Messiah to the earth restores them.

Those, who fear and reverence the LORD, will be hid in Him. He will be their safe haven. He will protect them from all harm. Those, who do not, will stumble and fall. The same Rock (Jesus Christ), which saves the believers is a stone of stumbling to those who do not believe. He is their downfall.

He is saying that those of the house of Israel, or of Judah, who do not continue in faith in the LORD, will fall. This message can be to the many Christians today who do not remain with the Lord.

Jerusalem would fall then. Zion (the church of the Lord Jesus Christ), will fall now, if we do not fear and reverence the Lord and walk daily in His ways.

^{Conspiracy? -- John Fenn video April 2020}

^{Description: A passage from scripture the Lord dropped in my heart a couple weeks ago that I share with everyone. It addresses the many voices out there and instructions from the Lord on how to handle ourselves during this pandemic.}

In the video, John starts out telling how he had been seeking the Lord for two or three weeks: "You know, seeking Him about how should I act, what should I do, what should my mindset be? The Lord

dropped into my spirit Isaiah chapter 8 verses 10 through 14a and the context in Isaiah is that the Assyrians are their enemy and there's much word, much talk, about is it really an alliance with them? Is there a secret agreement going on? Is Assyria going to attack?  There were all kinds of things

going on at the time and and so the Lord gave Isaiah this in Isaiah chapter 8 verses 10 through 14." The Lord forcefully warned John not to act like these people, do not say conspiracy every time these people say the word. The next thing is do not be afraid of what makes them afraid. Do not be scared, do not be afraid of what scares them.  Do not be terrified. You must recognize the authority of the Lord of Heavens Armies. He is the one to respect! He is the one we fear! He will become a

sanctuary and yet a stumbling block to those who don't believe." 

 

I pray that you have eyes to see and ears to hear so that you are teachable in the ways of the Lord!

Resurrection and Ascension

To fully understand Jesus' Resurrection and Ascension, we need to first know what happened with his spirit after the death of his human body. Without this background, there is no way to clearly see what the Bible means when speaking of the Resurrection. Jesus spirit returned from His appointed time in hell and was united with his new body – which was still full of the powerful energy of the Holy Spirit that merged his spirit and body.

Notice Jesus told Mary Magdalene not to touch him as he had not yet ascended to his Father. Looking at the Shroud of Turin, it took mega amounts of energy to make a negative photograph of Jesus earthly body (front and back including his face – which had a separate wrap as well). This power was provided by Holy Spirit to unite Jesus spirit with his resurrected body. Jesus had to go to the Father before anyone could touch him. This is in line with the OT when being in the presence of God. No one could look on God and live: except Moses that God made provision for in Exodus 33:17-23. So also, no one could touch Jesus in his newly resurrected body until he had gone to the Father. Jesus told Mary not to touch him and asked her instead to go tell the disciples that He was returning to His Father. This was to reassure them that he was truly resurrected.
 

Never before or since has there been a resurrection such as happened to Jesus. The first prophecy in the Bible, Gen 3:15, foretells of his victorious Resurrection. The prophecy of Isaiah 53:10 is understood because of Jesus' resurrection. His resurrection required the power of God. Many infallible proofs, Acts 1:3, have confirmed Jesus death in our place as a substitute for us and God raising him from the dead and exalting him by giving him a name above all names. No one knows what we will be when we are transformed into our glorified bodies, but we do know we will be like Jesus. The resurrection shows us the power of God, but also his mercy, love and grace. He loved us enough to show us mercy by his only begotten son choosing to take our place and pay the cost to reconcile us back to God as our advocate in grace.

Jesus then returned to earth after he received his glorified body and others saw and spoke with him. Doubting Thomas' unbelief was confronted when he was invited to touch Jesus since that is the only way that he would believe.

All relationships with Jesus would now, from this moment, be different than what they had known before. Now He is our Savior. This is a separate and different ascension than that which would be seen by witnesses 40 days later). The Old Testament foretold Jesus Ascension in Psalm 68:18. Paul quoted this scripture in Eph 4:8-10.

Reference https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Jesus-Christ,-Ascension-Of

Relevant verses concerning Jesus' ascension are John 7:13, John 16:28, John 20:17, John 14:2, John14:12, Mark 16:19, Luke 24:51, and Acts 1:9.

The ascension, when the disciples and others witnessed him Ascending into the clouds to Heaven, is the way Jesus' children will leave this earth with Him in the pre-trib Rapture. They watched until the clouds hid him from sight. When Jesus returns for his children, he will come to the clouds, the shofar will sound, and his children will meet him in the air. This ascension by his children will happen in an instant. The twinkling of an eye is only an instant. 

This is not to be confused with his Second Coming, when Jesus will return as the avenging Lion of Judah with all his saints on horseback with him for the Battle of Armageddon. Rev 16:16, Matt 24:21, Isaiah 13:9, Rev 11:15, Rev 16:14, Rev 19:11-21, Rev 12:9, Rev 14:20-24, Rev 19:19-21, Isaiah 13:6, Rev17:1-18, Zec 14:1-21, Luke 21:25, Titus 1:2, Joel 3:12-14.

Continuing on with the background narrative: 

After Jesus died on the cross, his body was taken to the borrowed tomb. His face was wrapped in a separate cloth and his body was then wrapped on a shroud. The burial shroud was one solid piece: the body was laid on it then the rest of it went over the head to rest on the front of the body.

In the spirit realm upon his human death, Jesus spirit descended into the part of Hell called Abraham's bosom (Luke 16:22). Jesus told the thief on the cross, when he asked Jesus to remember him, that day he would be with him in Paradise. Paradise was the holding place outside of Hell where the saints that were faithful, from Adam to the thief on the cross, went to wait upon the Christ until his passion and death on the cross were fulfilled. They could see over into Hell and the ones that were tormented (read the accounting of Lazarus the beggar and the Rich Man). Scriptures telling of Jesus in Hell (and what he did there i.e. preaching to the captives, etc.): Eph 4:9, Acts 2:24, 1 Pet 3:19, Hosea 13:14, Zech9:11, and Col 2:15..

When the prophesied three days in hell were completed, Jesus returned with the keys to hell and death. He was victorious in paying the cost of our salvation to reconcile us to God through his blood. The resurrection of his body and the return of Jesus to Father God also fulfilled prophesy.

What is Jesus' Ascension and what does it mean now: His physical ascension into heaven is our example of his victory. He fulfilled the work he was given to do. He was given back his heavenly glory. Father God was very pleased, exalted him and gave him a new name. Eph 1:20-23, Matt 17:5, Phil 2:9. Jesus going to heaven allows him to prepare a place for us, John 14:2 and to begin his work as our High Priest Heb 4:14-16 and New Covenant mediator Heb9:15. Jesus reign over all enemies began 1 Pet 3:22. The church (our body not a building) was now empowered to accomplish our mission. Eph 1:22-23.

Anna

My church doesn't believe...

that I am returning soon!

If we truly believed that Jesus was returning soon, we would not continue to live as we do. We would be spending even more time in prayer and fasting. Drawing closer in our relationship with God and asking for even more wisdom to know how to fight the enemy of our souls!

Do you really think that it's strange that the late term, even unto birth, abortion bill in New York City past?! September 20, 2016 a replica of the Arch of Baal was put up in City Hall Park in New York City. 

Arch of Baal in New York City Sept 2016

If you have eyes to see and ears to hear, know that these late term abortions are murders of babies as sacrifices to Baal. How can God stand by and do nothing in the face of these horrendous mass murders?! He won't... 

Deuteronomy 32:35

To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.

You really think you can rip a baby from the womb and it's okay?

Dire warning for New York City...

You're running out of time. Lay down the things of this world that mean nothing when viewed beside Eternity with God! Repent of your sins, run to Jesus while you can, you may not hear this call to Him even one more time beyond reading these words. You just don't know!

If you are a child of God, especially if you have become lukewarm, return to your first love! All of God's children should be on our knees in prayer and fasting to protect these innocent lives! Evil flourishes when good men do nothing. And if you look around you, you will see there is no mass outrage or taking of any action to counteract the evil of our day.

Wake up! Take action! Stand therefore in the spiritual battle you are placed. Put on your armor and fight the good fight!

Our Redemption draweth nigh! Believe it! Live like it!

Until and Unless...

GOD is the GREATEST in this land,
America will NEVER be great again!

Please wrap your mind around this truth! Ask the Lord to show you what this means!
No man is greater than God and ONLY GOD can bless America! With all the wickedness that is rampant here ... why would HE make America great again? We continue to go our own selfish ways, murdering the innocents, grinding His truths and laws under the heels of our boots. Please examine your hearts and lives. Are you walking in God's path for your life? Learning and being transformed moment by moment into becoming more like Jesus, as we are instructed to do?

GOD IS TRUTH ...

whether you believe it or not MAKES NO DIFFERENCE!

So much is going on. Yet most are blind to TRUTH and see only what they want to see. It has been an eye opening week for me, interactions with different people that I won't go into here.

The first thing I want to address is the Doctrine of Eternal Security: the once-saved-always-saved or no-works-required doctrine. This is near and dear to many Christians today. The reason is plain to see. They can made a 'mind' decision (and live life on their terms with no changes needed), not a 'heart' decision (which would require making changes in their lives). Let me equate this to the command in the Satanic Bible: Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be The Whole Of The Law I highly recommend you go to this link.
Here is a small excerpt:

“What they [satanists] essentially believe, is that life should be lived in the pursuit of pleasures, and we only get one chance to do it. Sounds like America to us.”

Here is just one Bible verse refuting the above:

“The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.” —Proverb 14:14

The Berean - Daily Verse & Comments - Sep 25, 2018
 Hebrews 11:6-7
(6) But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. (7) By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. 
Noah accomplished a significant witness, persevering for a very long time under horrific conditions. His witness was of sterling quality and worthy of emulation.

These two verses appear quite innocuous. We read them and consider their teaching a matter of course regarding Christian life and salvation. However, for this world's Christianity, they pose a dilemma for those more deeply aware of the intricacies of Christian responsibility.

Calvinist theologian Arthur Pink (1886-1952) says in his exposition of this passage, "The verses which are now to engage our attention are by no means free of difficulty, especially unto those who have sat under a ministry which has failed to preserve the balance between Divine grace and Divine righteousness." Why would he say this? These two verses, almost single-handedly, nearly destroy one of the most treasured teachings of this world's Christianity—the Doctrine of Eternal Security, the "once saved, always saved" or "no works required" doctrine. [emphasis mine]

Note the end of the quotation: Some ministries have "failed to preserve the balance between Divine grace and Divine righteousness." Preachers who fail to maintain this balance strongly emphasize God's favor while neglecting or ignoring His claims on our lives—our duties and responsibilities to Him—because He owns us! We are His slaves!

To any thinking person, these verses severely undercut those preachers' claims that appear to guarantee grace, that is, to assure salvation. How? Verse 6 clearly states that God rewards those who live by faith, and verse 7 illustrates that, in Noah's case, the reward was that Noah and his house were saved because of what they did.

What did Noah do that was so important to his and his family's salvation? His works produced the ark, the means of escaping death from the Flood. Noah's works were rewarded. Where, then, is grace?

Note that I wrote that these verses "nearly destroy" this concept, not "totally destroy." They do not contain the entire story, but they are very troublesome, to say the least, to those of the no-works stripe. If they do not bother a nominal Christian, he is clearly ignoring what the verses really say, that a person's works play a large part in his salvation. What would have happened to Noah and his family had they convinced themselves that, since God had given Noah grace, no ark needed to be built because God would save them anyway?

— John W. Ritenbaugh

**********
If you are here reading this and are not saved or have walked away from God, perhaps you still feel the calling of Holy Spirit on your heart to repent / come back to Him. Let me encourage you to not waste a moment: accept the free-for-you gift of Salvation that Jesus paid for you. What if this is the LAST TIME you have a chance to make this decision? Please choose wisely.

Noblesville West Middle School ...

are you asking WHERE was GOD?  

I have personal experience to share with you about what God was doing with myself and another of His children on the morning of Noblesville West Middle School shooting. The scene below started a few minutes previous to the shooting, 911 got the call at 9:06 AM and the situation, as we know, was resolved quickly.
God's 6 Minute Timing: 40 second shooter ID, shooter contained, victims transported

My day started out as it usually does. Get up. Take my meds & insulins. Put on the Whole Armor of God while in the shower. Calling out and lifting up in prayer those He puts on my heart. Praying a Hedge of Protection and asking for Travel Mercies for the day. Finish getting ready and then leave for work.

All of this starts through Messenger:

--AMW At 8:30 AM I sent out a beautiful picture of an owl taken the previous day at my place of employment by a coworker

++SYW 8:46 AM 'How beautiful'

--AMW 8:46 AM 'God makes BEAUTIFUL animals! Luv ur post this morning too'  

Click to read--> Change The Way You Think

++SYW 8:54 AM 'Thank you... working and praying on some stuff with CBW and some of her friends this summer... praying a lot this morning Mrs Anita... crying out to God for our kids nowadays... my heart is so heavy for what they know and accept now... 6th grade and drinking and drugs and sex... I’m starting a get together in July for girls in middle school to be in prayer, study together, and talk to them about these things. And how to handle them when brought to them. How to be strong in their faith... and so much more... it’s tearing me apart'

++SYW 8:54 AM Bout to go start our morning devotion.. I’ll talk to you later. Just be praying for us please. I love you so much! 😘

--AMW 8:55 AM You r in God's perfect timing luv u too. TTYL

Please notice how preparation for God to use us started before He called upon us. We both have a relationship with Jesus and both want to draw closer to Him. After reading SYW teaching post on Facebook, and then sharing the owl with her and others, when SYW shared the burden God had on her heart ... Holy Spirit made it my heart's burden at that moment as well and called me to start PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT IMMEDIATELY!!!

It was only later, when the unction to pray so intensely was lifted, that I heard about the school shooting. It was then I realized that God had me and other prayer warriors actively taking up prayer and shouting the spiritual battle cry to protect the children from evil. That lifted up the teacher who was willing and gave him strength and power to act quickly, in the face of the threat, to protect the children. 

Matthew 19:14 (KJV)

But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

When I am called to prayer this way, I do not ask God any details. It isn't my place to ask ... it does not matter Who? What? Why? When? Where? All that matters is God wants to use me for His Purposes Right NOW ... I trust him and I obey in that moment. It is important you understand that this does not make me in any way better than any other of His children. It is my walk with Him that I willing allow Him to direct. This relationship with Him is available to you, if you want it. Count the cost ... Jesus paid a price for us we couldn't pay ... I lay down my life for the one who died for me, willingly.

Everyone needs to hear what God can do when we seek His Will and the desires of His heart until we make them our will and our desires. When we walk with Him, we are instant in season and out of season. When Holy Spirit calls for heartfelt prayer, we do not hesitate but immediately obey.

Even though we have kicked Him out of our schools, our nation, and our lives ... God was right where He has always been ... Yahushua is waiting for us with His arms open wide in LOVE so please turn to Him so He can welcome us home. Be aware, time is running out ... soon it will be forever too late to choose Jesus,  and you will have chosen eternity and the eternal allegiance that was never meant for you. 

Maranatha,

Anna

Change the Way You Think

Have you ever heard the saying "a mind is a terrible thing to waste'? Our minds have so much capacity for good, to learn, create, think and grow, and it's a tragedy when we don't use them to their highest potential.

There was a time in my life when I allowed too many damaging thoughts to enter my mind, negative, tormenting, guilty, unforgiving, shameful and accusing thoughts. The problem was that I had no idea I could control my thoughts or choose which thoughts I focused on and believed in.

I didn't realize that if I was thinking something that wasn't true, I had the power to stop. No one ever told me I could win in my mind. Has anyone ever told you? If not, then I'm here today to tell you that you don't have to let your thoughts control you. You can choose to think and focus on God-thoughts!

Romans 12:2 says to "let God transform you, by changing the way you think." God wants to help you win the battle in your mind. But what does that look like on a practical level?

Here's what has worked countless times for me and what I know will work for you too: The next time you're wrestling in your mind, I want you to stop and find something specific that you can thank God for. Tell Him how grateful you are for His goodness and all the rich ways He's blessed your life. As you're diligent to do this, you will see your life begin to change and things will get better and better.

It's my hope and prayer that you will know the power God has given you and that every day in your thoughts, you will walk in the fullness of His love for you!

God, I want to experience Your power in my thought life. I choose to focus on Your goodness and Your love for me. No matter what negative thought comes my way, I know that You are so much bigger and better.

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2

Watchman ...

will you be faithful to sound the alarm?!!

I am sharing what the Lord has called me to walk in. As a watchman, He has charged me with a deeper walk than I ever knew before in July 2015, when He gave me a new name of Anna. He alone guides my steps: my feet would never have started or made this journey without Him calling and walking beside me. This journey was started in 1968, although I did not know it then. All of my days, past and future, are recorded in Heaven in the book of my life.

My heart is heavy for the lost and the lukewarm. We are so far away from where God intended us to be. We have bought into the lies of satan. We have made our material wealth and worldly reputation of more importance than our One True God. We are not following His Ten Commandments as our path to becoming more like Jesus.

What has happened to the watchmen that have been called? Have you sold your calling out for silver, gold, material things, accolades of man? Did you think you would be popular when you give the WARNING messages the Lord has given you to shout?! This is not negotiable ... it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God! I stand apart from you who have walked away. Lord, please continue to hold me, strengthen me, love me and give me messages for these end times. It is a privilege to walk in these last days ... I need no approval of man. In fact, if man approves of me ... I know I will be on the wrong road! If they hated Jesus, surely they will hate His true followers.

Excerpts: 
"I am unveiling mysteries of My Kingdom and sharing more of My heart than ever before. Subtle moves of My Spirit you have experienced in the past will become much more powerful and a greater part of your reality here." 
"The yoke upon the world now is one offered by the prince of darkness and its burden no one can carry, nor was anyone meant to carry it. My yoke is easy and My burden is light, so let go My children of all of it. It is time. This world is not your home, so walk away from that last bit you have clung to. I have it all in hand."

Daniel 11:32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.

The enemy of your soul is continually roaring and seeking you out. There is no protection apart from Jesus!

Do you feel the urgency?!

So many watchmen are giving warnings so that others can hear and not be left behind. There is also an outpouring of His Spirit ...

Eden, 6 yrs old, interpreting a Word of Tongues

Mark 10:15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.

Matthew 18:2-4
2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

In these final moments, for truly Jesus could come for us at any second, are you saved, secure, doing the work of the Father, sharing His Love? Are you walking with Jesus, in The Spirit, totally sold out to God? Where are your treasures ... if they are in this world - you need to repent before God. For where your treasure is, there your heart is also!

I caution you not to make light of the Holy Spirit nor those on the front lines of this War for Souls. Truly, you do not know their walk with God, what He has called them to do, what they do in their prayer closets! Now is the time to lift up in prayer and stand in the gap - side by side - with those God has asked to love and obey Him. Not in man's ways .. but walking each step in the path Jesus shows to each of His Children.

Will You Pass

I do pray for hearts to be touched with the Saving Grace of God and acceptance of Jesus' sacrifice before the door is forever closed!

Prayer is Powerful

Be Encouraged: A continual dialogue with God throughout the day is imperative if I am to stay grounded and not cast down by life's occurrences. When I am slack in this, I struggle to remain positive. How can I be a light to others when I don't spend time with the
Light of the World?

"If you believe in prayer at all, expect God to hear you. If you do not expect, you will not have. God will not hear you unless you believe He will hear you; but if you believe He will, He will be as good as your faith."

Charles Spurgeon

********

Colossians 4:2 kjv Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;

********

"Prayer is simply a two-way conversation between you and God."

"The Christian life is not a constant high. I have my moments of deep discouragement. I have to go to God in prayer with tears in my eyes, and say, 'O God, forgive me,' or 'Help me.'"
Billy Graham

********

“Don’t pray when you feel like it. Have an appointment with the Lord and keep it. A man is powerful on his knees.”

"Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?"

Called to Repentance ... NOW!!!

You need to develop your relationship with God and it cannot be done without the power of Holy Spirit!

Jesus COMMANDED - He did not gently 'suggest!' that they should stay in Jerusalem and wait for the promise of the Father ... baptized with the Holy Ghost ... you only have religion -- not a relationship -- if you reject Holy Spirit!

The following videos, done by faulk600, will give all the information that you need to see the truth and repent. I pray that you do!

Rejecting the gifts of the Holy Spirit by faulk600
Published on Apr 10, 2014
There are many churches everywhere today but without the Holy Spirit; the spiritual gifts would cease to function. God calls them to repentance!

How to receive the Holy Spirit of Christ? by faulk600


2 Timothy 3:5-7 (KJV)
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Please, all of God's Children, check your church / pastors' beliefs! Do they line up with God's Living Word? Specifically are any of the following in the Belief Statements of your church? 

Total Redemption i.e. Prosperity Theology
1.  Spiritual - John 3:3; Romans 10:9-10(b); and 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; 
2.   Mental - Isaiah 26:3-4(c); Romans 12:1-2; 2 Timothy 1:7; 
3.   Physical - Isaiah 53:4-5; Matthew 8:17; and 1 Peter 2:24;
4.   Financial - Deuteronomy 28:1-14; Malachi 3:10-11; Luke 6:38; 2 Corinthians 9:6-10; and 3 John 1:2;
5.   Social - Proverbs 3:4-10

God the Father conceived it. Jesus spoke it. And the Holy Spirit was the power that performed it.

Excerpt from the above link:

So, why is there so much debate over this issue? The sad truth is that denial of the ministry and power of the Holy Spirit is a convenient theology. Believing that miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit don’t operate today excuses powerless living. If it’s true that the Holy Spirit is still willing to move as in biblical times (and it is true), then there is no excuse for living lives so far removed from the victory portrayed in God’s Word.

The number one reason people resist the ministry of the Holy Spirit is because it exposes the lack of power in their lives. And once exposed, it demands a change. In an attempt to avoid responsibility for change, they change the Scriptures instead of themselves. Of course, it’s not that blatant, but there is a predisposition against the ministry of the Holy Spirit, so the Scripture is twisted to support their views.

The following is the wording in a mega-church near me:

• We believe that those who receive Christ also receive the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit: He marks them as the possession of God, manifests the fruit of righteousness in their character and endows them with spiritual gifts for ministry. (2 Corinthians 1:21-22; Galatians 5:22-23; 1 Corinthians 12:4-6)
• We believe that a spiritual gift is a special ability, given by the Holy Spirit to every believer, to be used to minister to others and thereby build up the Body of Christ. (1 Peter 4:10; Romans 12:6-8; 1 Corinthians 12:7-11)
• We believe that in New Testament churches which were led by Apostles or by those specially empowered by the laying on of the Apostles’ hands, miraculous gifts were manifested. (Acts 2:43; Acts 8:18; 2 Timothy 1:6)
• We believe that in New Testament churches which lacked direct apostolic leadership, non-miraculous gifts prevailed: The miraculous gifts were not present. (Acts 8:5-8, 14-17)
• While we believe that God continues to answer prayer and work miracles, today, we do not expect to see the miraculous spiritual gift manifested in the church because of the lack of apostolic leadership.
• We ask that those who seek the miraculous gifts (e.g. speaking in tongues) not practice those gifts within our worship services or promote the exercise of those gifts among our members.
• We believe that the pattern of the New Testament was to observe the Lord’s Supper each week. (Acts 20:7)

Please look into each of these areas for yourself! Ask the Lord for discernment!

The Days are EVIL!

The greatest defense in our lives is the PRESENCE of God. Just a little bit of light drives out the darkness. 

Therefore, it is not just rebuking demons that drives them away. It is the manifest presence of Holy Spirit in our lives: showing Himself in holiness and obedience to God. The more we enter His presence, to stay and just minister to Him, He pours out His love in each of us so we can be more like Him.  When we spend time with Jesus in worship, prayer, reading and thinking on His Word, and listening for His voice in our spirit: that is when attacks the enemy has sent against us will be removed.

If you detect that a root of bitterness has formed, [if you feel anger: repent immediately and ask God to remove it right then] it is poison to you. 

Unforgiveness is Poison in Your Heart's Garden ... forgive as you have been forgiven!

Anything done in the darkness will be brought to the light:

Ephesians 5:13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
John 3:20
Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.
Ephesians 5:12
For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.

THE SHELTER OF GOD AGAINST WITCHCRAFT excerpt from book: The Divine Antidote by Francis Frangipane

Excerpt: When the enemy seeks to bring us to a place of strife with one or more people, we must discern this as a plot to keep us all from something good that God intended for us. Thus, when at odds with someone, we must turn quickly to intercession for that specific person. This prayer posture must expand beyond our immediate church relationships and grow into a citywide church concept. If we are to be effective in resisting the enemy, we must corporately become a house of prayer.
Lord, we ask You to grant us the gift of discernment. Forgive us for judging one another and for failing to see the work of the enemy, who seeks to divide us. Father, we submit to the mind of Christ, we ask for His perception, that we would have insight into what You are doing in the church. Lord, we also ask for boldness to defend one another from the voice of suspicion and accusation. Help us, Lord, to pray when we hear a rumor, to stand in the gap when we see a fault, to become a house of prayer for the church in this city. In Jesus name. Amen.

Be blessed and watching for His soon return!

As For Me ...

and my house, we will serve the Lord! Joshua 24:15

When God answers prayers ... it is a sad tendency of people to go back to being complacent! Their forward momentum is stopped. As though they have 'arrived' and nothing else is required. Brothers and Sisters, this could not be further from the truth! God is looking for repentance and true change in the hearts of the American people. This is only the first step. We must continue in fervent prayer for God's Will to be done on earth as it is in Heaven!

Are We Believing God's Promises ...

Abba, Father, we come into Your Majestic Presence with Thanksgiving. We enter into Your courts with Praise! We say this is the day that You have made: we will Rejoice and be glad in it! Holy, Holy, Holy are you Lord! Blessed be the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come. King of Kings and Lord of Lords! We thank you for answering the prayers of your children, as we prayed for Your Man to win this election: Trump/Pence President/Vice President-elect. We continue to stand in the gap for our nation. Lord, please accept our personal repentance and help us to pray Your Will even more effectively with the short time left to us. Please continue to remind us that we are your warriors, servants, the salt and light on this earth with responsibilities in these positions. Holy Spirit, I ask that you strengthen each of us to stand boldly and proclaim the Gospel of Jesus that men will hear and turn from their wicked choices to embrace Jesus' sacrifice. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen!

Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him! Psalm 68

Maranatha,
Anna

Pray for His Soldiers ...

every day, as God places them on your heart and your minds.

Pray for His Soldiers this post as a podcast by Anna

Abba, Father, I give you praise for who you are: the Great I AM! Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Tsidkenu, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, The Bright and Morning Star!  I am here at your feet, Abba, to stand in the gap and lift up your children to You. I pray for special protection by the Heavenly Host to be round about my sisters and brothers that are working to bring more souls into Your Kingdom. May there be a hedge of protection round about them all, in the shape of a sphere, that nothing from the enemy can get in to harm them in any way. Knowing time is short, the battle is intense but You alone are our strength and comfort. You give us wisdom and your Word directs our steps. Thank you beyond measure for Your Mercy, Love, and Grace! In Jesus Name. Amen!

     I encourage all of you to be obedient to God and take up prayer for each other, especially for His Soldier(s) on the front lines in this spiritual battle. You ARE in this battle, whether you realize it or not! 
     This world is not my home! Although my heart longs to be with my Bridegroom and my Father, Holy Spirit is with me and He leads and guides me each moment of the day to be of service 'His Will. His Way.' Please be encouraged! Do not grow weary and become lukewarm! We are going home, soon and very soon, so let us each finish the race that has been set before us!

Maranatha,
Anna

Who were the prayer warriors in the Bible? 

Prayer warriors are people who are known for regularly interceding on behalf of others before God. To intercede means to come between, so prayer warriors are, in effect, coming between God and the trouble in another person's life.

Prayer warriors are like defense attorneys, appealing to the Higher Court on behalf of their defendants. We're all guilty before God, but God is merciful. Prayer warriors recognize that quality of God's personality and call on Him for intervention.  

The Heart of A Prayer Warrior

This World Is NOT Our Home ...

put on the whole armor of God, Ephesians 6, and stand therefore. 

Child of God - Purpose in Life - Must Watch by OTG Ministries

There is no armor to protect our back. We are to always face the enemy.

Scriptures for warriors, click here.

Stand therefore! Scriptures to help us as we stand. Believing in God and the power of His Might. Many excellent Scripture References click here

Will you believe God and allow your Faith to grow through any adversity you find yourself? Quiet all voices but God's. There is not time for anything but walking with God and being bold in all things. Numbers 13 - Joshua and Caleb had faith in God and were the only two of that generation to see the promised land after the wilderness wanderings. Gideon's 300 were warriors chosen because they were always on the alert. Even while drinking - they kept their weapon in hand, stayed watchful, and drank from their hand as their gaze scanned around them. More intormation on Gideon's Army

The urgency to stay close to the Lord and finish our race grows every day! Of course, all of this is what God has put on my heart for you to know. Your walk is your own and what you do with the information - God knows and God will judge. Not me.

In His Service,
Anna
