Don't Feed The Dragon

... make it smaller and smaller by not talking about it.. 

Amanda Grace Talks ... Letting Go Of Buried Issues, Trials Becoming Testimonies, & Healing!

Youtube 'Ark of Grace Ministries' channel

Amanda Grace discusses what she heard the Lord say in the Spirit and an image of a snake coiled around a dead piece of wood. She also discusses her personal; testimony, how broken she was, and how the Lord restored her after she was beyond recognition. Amanda shows the picture of what she looked like going through this trial for the first time publicly. The Lord truly took an aweful trial ad turned it into an incredible testimony!! Don’t give up! You are closer than you think to your Breakthrough!! God Bless you all!! If you would like to contact Amanda Grace via email please email her at amandagrace4him@gmail.com if you have questions or comments or would like more information into sowing into what she does!

 

I was watching the video that is linked above and I know that I needed to hear this. It is a timely word so I am sharing it with whomsoever will be willing to hear it and obey. Obedience is better than sacrifice!

What is highlighted in my heart at this moment is:

Speak the PROMISE don't speak the problem! Let it go. It is dead wood and needs to be removed from your life because it is causing damage as long as it is there. The dragon is the problem. Suffocate it. Don't give it air. Speak scriptures. 

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord! 

I will enter your gates with thanksgiving in my heart. I will enter your courts with praise! I will say this is the day that the Lord has made. I will rejoice for He has made me glad! He has made me glad, He has made me glad, I will rejoice for He has made me glad!

I pray this is a blessing to you!

Everything I've Needed Lord ...

You've Always Been - Unspoken

Unspoken - You've Always Been (Official Music Video)

Lyrics
I’ve had good days, 
I’ve had bad days 
Tasted victory and defeat 
I’ve had problems big as planets 
Turn to pebbles when you speak 
I’ve had nothing to my name 
Never lacked for anything 
Cause you were there with me 

You’ve been my savior, sustainer 
When I’m at my end 
My healer, redeemer 
Again and again 
My mother and my father 
Brother, sister and friend 
Everything I’ve needed, Lord 
You’ve always been 
Everything I’ve needed, Lord 
You’ve always been 

When I stand before you guilty 
Oh your mercy bears my blame 
When in pride I think I’m worthy 
You point out the price you paid 
When I wander far away 
You keep calling out my name 
You don’t give up on me 

You are my strength, my rock, Jesus 
You are my hope, my song, Jesus 
Before my heart knows what to pray 
You’ve already led the way Jesus

I needed to hear this ... maybe you needed to hear it, too! 
Thank you Father for your Mercy, Love, and Grace!!! There is nothing I can do in myself, Lord, but only through your strength. Here I am Lord, please use me in any way you choose! In Jesus Name. Amen!

Maranatha,
Anna

An Amazing Man of God ...

[Original publish date: 6/26/20]

Went Home to Jesus yesterday, June 25, 2020.

I met William (Brother Billy) Forrest 53 weeks and 6 days ago. My best friend of 37 years and I went to lunch at Denny's & invited an older gentleman from her daughter's church to eat with us. Little did I know how that one lunch meeting would change my life!

Brother Billy's wife, Christine, went home to be with the Lord on December 31, 2010. He told us that it was 8 years, 6 months, and 13 days since she left him. During our lunch conversation it was revealed that Brother Billy and his Christine met in school. She was the only girl that Brother Billy ever kissed on the lips! After graduation, they married and started out as share croppers with $100 to their name. Brother Billy became a preacher and started churches in Georgia. Brother Billy said his Christine taught him the value of saving, so they always put a little back. He played guitar, self taught, and sang! It was always a joyful time to hear him play and sing! He always sang to Christine each night before he would go to sleep.

I have never seen a mortal love so deep as the one that Brother Billy shared with his wife, Christine! The purity of his love for her and hers for him will stay with me for the rest of my life and beyond! Yes, Jesus loves me unconditionally and nothing compares to that love! Brother Billy would totally agree!

Tammie and I went to visit Brother Billy last Saturday, June 20th. It was 53 weeks to the day since I first met him. Brother Billy joined in as he could when we sang these songs:

Power in the Blood,

Yes, Lord, Yes,

I'll Fly Away

When We All Get To Heaven

Amazing Grace

T

After worship in song, Brother Billy led all of us that were there in Communion. It was a wonderful time! I knew that this would be the last time I would see Brother Billy this side of Heaven! He passed away 4 days later. I cannot be sad ... he finished the race ... loving Jesus with his whole heart, mind, soul, and strength!

I just wanted to do a quick blog post to honor the man that the Lord allowed me to meet and gave me the privilege and honor to minister to through prayer cards and letters. I pray for a special anointing of Salvation on those cards and letters! That anyone that touches them or reads them will feel a mighty call of Holy Spirit to accept Jesus as their Savior! I don't think he ever knew what a blessing he was to so many, myself included! Brother Billy, after 9 years, 6 months and 25 days: you went home to meet Jesus and are reunited with your beloved Christine! We will miss you very much but are so happy you are HOME now and free of pain!

In Loving Memory of Brother Billy: Power in the Blood

REV. WILLIAM J. "BILLY" FORREST, JR.

Be encouraged everyone! Look to the Lord! Rely and Trust in Him! We are in the final seconds before Jesus' return, nothing is happening here that God hasn't allowed. Christians, this is as bad as it gets for us! We go in the Rapture before the Tribulation starts. If you aren't saved, you need to give your heart to Jesus while there is yet time!

UPDATE: I also did not know, until a couple of weeks later, that meeting with Brother Billy at his house to sing and take communion together would be the last time my BFF & I would do anything together face-to-face. I did reach out to her in a letter on July 10, 2020 but nothing came of it.  God knew how, why, and when this would happen. Trust in Him for everything!

Maranatha,

Anna

Can You Measure Character ...

who we are when no one is looking? I used to think that was all character was!

I heard this said many years ago and it made an impression on me. What do I do, how do I act, what do I prioritize when I am alone and there is no one to see or know. I used to believe that with my whole heart.

Fast forward a few years to today and there is a much different reality that I have learned. Measurement of Character ... Jesus is my example. My good name is all I will take with me from this earthly life. Am I growing and becoming more like Jesus? Am I dying to self each day? God knows all I do, think and who I am because he is my Creator. Jesus is with me always! Holy Spirit lives in me! Angel(s) is/are assigned to me as God wills.

In the following verses the meaning of the word communication is from the Greek. LOGOS which is the spoken word: Strong's Concordance reference G3056.

Matthew 5:33-37 (KJV) Blue Letter Bible link for studying these verses

How good is your word?

Reference for further study is at

[Quote] All of us have, to one degree or another, been guilty of broken promises and half-hearted commitments. God's Word has much to say about the practice of making promises and rash commitments without calculating the cost.

» Numbers 30:2 (All scriptures from The Amplified Bible): If a man vows a vow to the LORD or swears an oath to bind himself by a pledge, he shall not break and profane his word: he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.

» Deuteronomy 23:23: The vow which has passed your lips you shall be watchful to perform. . . .

» Proverbs 20:25: It is a snare to a man to utter a vow [of consecration] and [not until] afterward inquire [whether he can fulfill it].

» Ecclesiastes 5:2, 4-6: Be not rash with your mouth, and let not your heart be hasty to utter a word before God: For God is in heaven, and you are on earth; therefore let your words be few. . . . When you vow a vow or make a pledge to God, do not put off paying it; for God has no pleasure in fools (those who witlessly mock him). Pay what you vow. It is better that you should not vow than that you should vow and not pay. Do not allow your mouth to cause your body to sin, and do not say before the messenger [the priest] that it was an error or mistake. Why should God be [made] angry at your voice and destroy the work of your hands?

The intent of the last part of this scripture is that the rash promise to complete something or bring something to fruition, which later cannot be delivered, makes the entire act a sin.

» Matthew 5:33-34, 37: Again, you have heard that it was said to the men of old, "You shall not swear falsely, but you shall perform your oaths to the Lord [as a religious duty]." But I tell you, "Do not bind yourselves by an oath at all. . . . Let your Yes be simply Yes, and your No be simply No: anything more than that comes from the evil one."

» James 5:12: But above all [things], my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath; but let your yes be [a simple] yes, and your no be [a simple] no, so that you may not sin and fall under condemnation. [End Quote]

May our communication in words and our actions be pure, upright, without reproach and when we fail may we repent and ask forgiveness as soon as we are aware!

Anna

Friends ...

Are friends forever, if the Lord's the Lord of them.

 FRIENDS ny Michael W Smith

"Friends"

Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of you
I can't believe the hopes He's granted
Means a chapter of your life is through

But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends

And with the faith and love God's given
Springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy you live in
Is the strength that now you show

We'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends

And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends

To live as friends

Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends

No a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends

💖🙏🏻💖🙏🏻💖🙏🏻💖🙏🏻💖🙏🏻💖🙏🏻💖🙏🏻💖🙏🏻💖🙏🏻

Sometimes, a lifetime ends sooner than we expected. God holds us close as He carries us in our weakness. 

Jesus, you alone are my forever, unfailing friend!

Lock down! Loneliness and Anger ...

What have we read in scriptures about loneliness and anger? How do we handle our emotions during these challenging times?

If you believe for one second that we will return to life as we knew it, I hope you will rethink that. The timing of all that is going on is purposeful and has been planned. God knows the plan. He knows their playbook. Nothing can  happen except God allows it. That alone should take away any and all fear. We are His children and we are protected by Him. Does it mean we will have an easy walk? No, I don't know of any Faith walk that is easy. I do know we walk them successfully by leaning on Jesus and His strength! 

During these times of isolation:  whether you are elderly or one with a compromised immune system, or both, the hardest thing to endure is the loneliness. It seems others have jobs, families, friends, someone with whom they can converse and share to make the days easier to live through. Sadly, that is not the case for everyone. Those that find themselves shut in with no contact with the outside world can become very emotional. Sad, lonely, depressed, then perhaps anger will step in.

When you find yourself in this situation and your emotions seem to be getting the best of you, give it to God. All of it! Not just a piece of it ... every speck of it! If it tries to come back, give it all to Him again. Keep doing that until you are no longer influenced by these negative emotions and you will find that you have taken every thought captive and followed Jesus in your thinking and your ways. The transformation time depends on you! No one else! You are accountable for your thoughts and actions! 

What makes me so sure that this is sound advice? Because I am walking it as we speak. I am lonely and isolated. I find myself getting sad and depressed. I know this brings anger to my heart. I also know that as I ask Jesus for help, he is faithful to let me lean on his strength! The following prayers help me. I hope they will be a help to you, as well!

Loneliness
"Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:20

Lord, I thank You that You are my true companion -- that I am never alone. You have assigned angels to watch over and protect me. You have given me Your Holy Spirit and promised that You are with me always, even to the very end of the age. What a privilege that You call me Your friend. As we travel this road of life together, on city sidewalks, suburban roads, or country paths, I enjoy Your presence, Lord. Help me never to forget Your presence. 

Anger
Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Ephesians 4:51

Lord, I am so mad! I am angry, and I need Your help. Why do things have to go so wrong? I need to do something with this heated emotion -- and I choose to give You my anger and bitterness, Lord. Help me be rid of it. Redeem the confusion and bring peace to what seems so out of control. Free me from resentment and blame. Show me my part in this conflict as You speak to the heart of my adversary. I need your healing and peace, Lord.

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!

Yes, You CAN Hear from God ...

If you put God first and are still, quiet, and wait at His feet for His Word and Wisdom.

This is the song I was led to for this blog post. Click the link to listen --> Word of God Speak by Mercy Me 

As an example: this is the Word that I received from the Lord. Psalm 27, Psalm 90, Psalm 147. I accept His Will & His Way for my life. I lay it down for His use each day. Lord, help me to die to myself each moment of each day. I ask to be an Instrument in your hands, in whatever way you choose. I love you, Lord, with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength! Thank You, Abba, In Jesus name. Amen.

If you do not follow the Lord and hear His directions to you, the coming days of darkness will terrify you!

Maranatha,
Anna

********
Reference verses for the three Psalms given to me:

Psalm 27 (KJV)
1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4 One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.
5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.
7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek.
9 Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.
11 Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
14 Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.

Psalm 90 (KJV)
1 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.
4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.
10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.
12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
13 Return, O Lord, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
14 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15 Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.
16 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.
17 And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

Psalm 147 (KJV)
1 Praise ye the Lord: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.
2 The Lord doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.
3 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
4 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
5 Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
6 The Lord lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.
7 Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
8 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.
9 He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.
10 He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.
11 The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
12 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.
13 For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee.
14 He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.
15 He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly.
16 He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.
17 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
18 He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
19 He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
20 He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the Lord.

MAJESTY ...

Majesty w/lyrics Michael W Smith

This is the Most Important Question you will ever be asked: Are you SAVED?
If the answer is 'No' please rethink your decision to keep rejecting Jesus sacrifice for you!
If the answer is 'Yes' do you have a RELATIONSHIP with God? Do you yearn for a deeper walk, drawing closer to know the hearts of Father, Son & Holy Spirit?

This world is not our home, we are just passing through ...
1 John 2:15-17
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

There is nothing new under the sun ...
Ecclesiastes 1:9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

Seek God's Will and Perfect Plan for your life ...
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

The days grow darker. The promise of Jesus' soon return in the clouds to catch away His Bride draws ever closer. Are you ready? Are you willing? Are you excited? Let us be about our Father's business and walk closer to Him each and every day!!!

40 Months in the Wilderness ...

being taught by Holy Spirit to TRUST IN and RELY ON God and His provision: since January 2014.

TRUST IN "Trust is a feeling that somebody can be relied upon, or will turn out to be good. It is the feeling of being sure about someone, even if it cannot be proved."

RELY ON "Rely is even more powerful a word than 'depend.' When you rely on someone, you have total faith and trust that He will come through. It comes from the Latin word religare which means "to fasten or bind."

This blog post is my testimony on the Wilderness Journey that God determined for me. I had to say yes to His Will & His Way. He walked beside me on this chosen path and taught me through each step and each trial. He allowed me to learn so many things. To encapsulate 3+ years of training, growing closer in my walk, deepening our relationship, and growing in FAITH ... that is a tall order. Instead, I invite you to ask God what He has planned for you. Ask Him to set your feet upon the path that He has designed specifically for you: His Perfect Will for your life.

At the end of this wilderness, I can honestly say material things don't mean much to me. I want people to see Jesus -- not me -- when they are around me. A job now is for God to be glorified and for me to continue to be a servant following my Master & Savior. It is not my identity, as it was for so many years of employment.

This isn't the end ... I look forward to learning even more ... but after 40 months ... I will again have 'permanent employment with benefits!' Thank you Father, Son and Holy Spirit for everything!

Philippians 4:11-12 (KJV)

11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

The Lord has placed a heavy burden on my heart ... please, all of you, listen and listen well!  I plead with each of you to be sure that your heart is ready. That your salvation is secure. That you walk with God each moment of the day! Don't trust in your works, they are as filthy rags, but trust instead in His Mercy and renewing of the Holy Spirit! Titus 3:5-6

I don't care how often you have heard it ... Truth is Truth and He is letting us know of His plans. Please be ready each moment! Grab hold and don't take your eyes off of Him! Where is your treasure? In this world and its money? Ezekiel 7:19

Joel 2

Holy Spirit

Titus 3:5,6 

5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

Money

Ezekiel 7:19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumbling block of their iniquity.

For Your Name Is Holy - I Enter The Holy of Holies - Paul Wilbur - Lyrics

In His Service,

Anna

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!

Infinity!

Our struggle here

Isn't hard to see.

To comprehend

"How vast are Thee?"

We see darkly,
As through a glass.
Yet to know you,
One must but ask.

Given to Anna by Holy Spirit in 1996

Psalm 119:96

Does something like this ever cross your mind: How big is God, really?
Have you, or have you seen others, try to fit God into a 'box'? God wants us to know Him! He is delighted when we ask to 'see' Him. Why would I say that? Remember when Moses asked to see God? God hid Moses in the cleft of the rock (the rock is a foreshadowing of Jesus). If you read this, ask Holy Spirit to explain it to you. Exodus 33 He loves to teach us!

Psalm 113:2 
Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.

Maranatha,

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

The Time Has Come ...

to be faithful to fulfill our purpose!

I am sharing the following prayer, written by Becky Thomas, that it may be a blessing to many others as Holy Spirit leads them to it and touches their hearts.

So we can be used at the perfect time and in the best way ... We surrender all to You and want Your Will in our lives. We pray we can be counted worthy to escape what is about to happen but, if we can be used in any way, make us realize what Job is ours personally ... resurrect righteousness in us ... We open the door and invite you in to come and break bread with us ... to pitch your tent with us ... to empower us in knowledge and truth ... engulf us with Your Glory ... as You are The savior to our eyes and ears and heart and mind and souls ...

Remember, There Will Come A Day

... when we will stand before God and give account of every idle word we have ever spoken. 

Matthew 12:36-37 (KJV)

36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

All who come here and read these words: each person (no matter who they are) is precious to God. Where is the Lord in the condemnation of souls? Those who are lost, deceived, following false teachings; these should be fervently prayed for, not held up to the world to be ridiculed. The Pharisee spirit is one that says 'I am so glad I am not like that other person! I truly know God!'
God gave me these words to share here. Please go to this link, read it and pray about it.

The Pharisee Spirit - still active today

Excerpt: John Fischer, author of the book '12 Steps for the Recovering Pharisee (like me)', writes
'What makes Pharisaical sin so dangerous is that it disguises itself as a form of enlightenment. This is what Jesus meant when he said,
"If the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!" (Matthew 6:23)
The darkness is great because one is deluded into thinking it is light. You think you are seeing better than anyone else, when, in fact, you can't see at all. This means the idea that what you can't see is farthest from you. A blind person knows he is blind. A Pharisee thinks he can see, and this is why the "light" within him is actually darkness.
The mark of Holy Spirit produced 'light' is humility.
So I said: "Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The LORD of hosts." (Isaiah 6:5 )
When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!" (Luke 5:8)
Whereas the Pharisee 'light' produces the darkness of spiritual arrogance. They were proud of their righteous behaviour and drew their self worth from their righteous behaviour by setting their righteousness against the sinfulness in others around them.
"The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, 'God, I thank You that I am not like other men-extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. (Luke 18:11)
God always opposes the proud (James 4:6) hence Jesus' harsh proclamations of woe to them. End Excerpt.

I give this out of love not condemnation. May we each examine our hearts and our motives that we may be Wise Virgins awaiting our Bridegroom!

Maranatha,
Anna

The Holy Spirit - We NEED Him!

Jesus himself said so! Notice, He did not ask, Jesus COMMANDED!
Acts 1:4,5
4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

Who is man that any should contradict GOD and say what was given was temporary and does not operate today? 
I am referring to the cessationism doctrine of lies: 
In Christianity, cessationism is the doctrine that spiritual gifts such as speaking in tongues, prophecy and healing ceased with the original twelve apostles. This is generally opposed to continuationism, which teaches that the Holy Spirit may bestow the spiritual gifts on persons other than the original twelve apostles at any time.

There are churches, big churches regarding number of members, that are in this cessationism camp. I pray for one such mega-church in my area whose pastors and leadership proclaim the gospel but deny the power thereof. 

2 Timothy 3:5

Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

There are many with the 'pharisee spirit', not just in the real world, but on YouTube especially, so be watchful! Take special care if you see this type of comment in their 'belief statement' based on scriptures that are isolated to support this lie (Satan is the one that doesn't want you to know of the Power! Pharisee spirit is the one that perpetrates this lie ... even today!): 
We believe that some gifts of the Holy Spirit such as speaking in tongues and miraculous healings were temporary. We believe that speaking in tongues was never the common or necessary sign of the baptism nor of the filling of the Spirit, and that the deliverance of the body from sickness or death awaits the consummation of our salvation in the resurrection. (Acts 4:8, 31; Romans 8:23; 1 Corinthians 13:8.)

Understanding the Pharisee spirit

Pharisees did not move in the gifts and anointing power of the Spirit, had no understanding of the gifts and anointing power of the Spirit, and therefore concluded that anyone who did had to be moving in demonic power.

Now when the Pharisees heard it they said, "This fellow does not cast out demons except by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons." (Matthew 12:24)

A very, very dangerous thing to say, Jesus warned them.

"Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. (Matthew 12:31)

When Jesus healed the man with the withered hand in church, they attacked Him for doing it on the Sabbath.

And behold, there was a man who had a withered hand. And they asked Him, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?" that they might accuse Him. (Matthew 12:10)

Time is short and, as a watchman called by the Lord, I give this warning, not to lift up myself, but to lift up the Holy One and reveal the truths He makes known to me and other watchmen. Your blood will not be on my hands due to my disobedience in sharing this Word of Warning!

Maranatha,

Perhaps you are aware ... perhaps not

Fullness of Time of Gentiles is drawing to a close. 
Romans 11:25 “For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that hardening in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.”

I don't watch TV: no that DOES NOT make me better than anyone else! I have found it to be a waste of time and there is no truth to be found anywhere except in God's Word! 
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

That said, I did have a couple things come to attention today.

Breaking: Russian Tanks May Be Rolling Into Ukraine

                    Video clip of Russian Tanks used in INL video

"NASA Television’s Space Station Live program will be phased out in August and discontinued Sept. 1."

The days are becoming darker. Pray to close these doors the enemy is working to open by praying God's protection back to Him: Psalm 91. Ask God to deliver you from evil.
God's 911 number:            

Psalm 91:1

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

Knowledge share of word meanings:
Portals [Strong's G2374] are doors, created by God as entrances and exits. Used by spiritual beings - holy angels and fallen angels.
CERN is trying to mix the natural realm with the spiritual realm regarding portals. Satan has influenced men and women to work to open portals that God never intended to be opened.

Isaiah 55:6 

Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

The message to you who are not saved is John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

The message to you who are saved is Matthew 24:45-47 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? 46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

Please, let His Servants be about Our Father's business! Maranatha!

In love,
Anna
