Don't Feed The Dragon

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!

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

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!

Do Not Worry -- Pray Instead!!!

After we put on the rest of our Armor of God, the last piece is to Pray Without Ceasing!

 Put on the WHOLE Armor of GOD

Bible Verses About Pray Without Ceasing 

1 Thessalonians 5:16-17
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

How can we pray without ceasing? The first thing we have to do is get the picture of being on our knees, eyes closed, and praying with fancy words out of our mind's eye. That is a type of prayer time that many people think of. However, as part of our continuing walk with the Lord in becoming His disciples, we need to submit time to our prayer life. Okay, I hear the moaning and groaning now: There is no time. We are too busy! I will do it later after (whatever it is you are allowing to come before your commitment to God) is done. This is NOT being stated for shaming! Instead, it is to show how easily we can be, and many times are, distracted from the things we want to do and do the things we shouldn't do instead! Just as Paul tells us of his struggles in Romans 7:15-20.

Let us start the steps of this walk by learning prayer as a habit:
Planning to pray! Here are five times during the day where we can learn the habit of prayer time.

• First Prayer of the Day: To make it easier, try to get in the habit of saying Good Morning to God and starting out your day in conversation with Him. 

• Three more times during the day: Many of us already pray over our meals thanking God for providing.

• Last Prayer of the Day: As you are ready for bed, being quiet and reflecting on your day, speak to God about it. Whatever comes to your mind, just say it!

Learn how to talk to God! If I spend a long time in one prayer, I can find my mind wandering and I have to focus again and not get distracted. For this reason, perhaps you might start with shorter prayers. I am not all flowery words although I speak respectfully to the Lord but more as I would speak to a friend in conversation during the day! Do you call your friend on the phone and say 'Good Morn, Thou My Best of Friends! Of course you don't, neither do I! God doesn't need flowery speech that separates Him from us! He wants us to be comfortable talking with Him as friend to friend, not just when we have wants and needs to pray for. Can you imagine what it was like for God to come into the Garden of Eden and have fellowship with Adam & then with Eve? My mind fails me at the wonder of that!

How many times a day do you text your friend? How many times do you call them? Do you think it is a burden to share your day with your friends? Does something wonderful, or something not so great, happen to you and the first thought you have is "I need to tell so and so this? "What would your life be like if the first thought is focused on speaking to God about it? We can view our relationship with God in prayer in a comforting and willing way!

Now that we have that perspective in mind, we need to learn to pray God's Will! It is easier for us to learn to pray about 'Me, Myself, & I' yet it seems more difficult to get our mind around praying God's Will. We are commanded to LOVE our neighbor as ourselves. Let's focus our prayer on speaking to God about others and asking His Will to be done in their lives! If you don't look at prayer for others as a burden, but more like a pleasant opportunity, you will be learning to live these pictured scriptures of Phil 4:8-9.

Heavenly Father, I praise your holy name and my heart is thankful for the times I spend with you! May Holy Spirit touch each heart and mind that are called here. I pray these words help them in any way you choose, Lord. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. In Jesus name. Amen!

Maranatha,
Anna

Yes I Am "SHOUTING FROM THE ROOFTOPS" ...

"PEOPLE LISTEN UP!!!"

Watchmen have been sounding the alarm! If you missed the many years of warnings, I pray with all my heart that you TAKE HEED NOW to what is going on as you hear and read these words!

At the  Midnight Cry  when Jesus comes again!

So many WATCHMEN (Ezek 33) have been saying we are living in the LAST DAYS!! Jesus is coming in the clouds for His Bride at a time when even Jesus himself does not know: only God the Father knows. However, we are told we will know the SIGNS OF THE TIMES!

In God's word, we read the

Parable of the Sower

We are to tell people of the Kingdom of God that is coming, as a farmer spreads seeds in his fields. Seeds that are sown will fall on four types of soil.

Matthew 13:18 Context

¹⁵For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. ¹⁶But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. ¹⁷For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. ¹⁸Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. ¹⁹When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. ²⁰But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; ²¹Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.

These seeds (words) have fallen on four types of soil (people's hearts). The first three types of soil REJECT the words they hear. Only the fourth, and last, ACCEPT the words and embrace them into their lives.

God has been faithful to give me words to say by way of the Holy Spirit and the boldness, when I ask, to speak / write them. I have been blessed to be shown links to prophecy and updates as well. These are for me to learn by studying the Bible and for me to share them.  Years ago, in July 2015, at a church altar, God gave me a new name of ANNA! Holy Spirit has given me things to post in this blog from that day to this. The blog existed first in 2010 so there are a couple of posts from there that I was allowed to leave up. One, the Three Red Marbles, is also done in a podcast. It is that important to show what God has put on my heart for all these years.

This blog post today is being written with many tears having been shed and with a heavy burden on my heart for PEOPLE TO SEE AND HEAR what is taking place all around us!

• PLEASE, if you have rejected his call before, ask Jesus into your heart NOW!
• If you have done this but it has been awhile and you are lukewarm, PLEASE return to the days of your First Love - the day you FIRST met JESUS as your SAVIOR.
• If you are born again and are on fire for the Lord, PLEASE hear the call of Holy Spirit to get the Good News out while there is yet time to do so!

There are signs all around that follow the prophecies in the Bible that we are MOMENTS away from JESUS' RETURN FOR HIS BRIDE IN THE RAPTURE! Be ready as wise virgins and not sluggish and sleepy as foolish virgins who are asleep when the BRIDEGROOM COMES!

Maranatha,

Anna

How can a person read the Bible ...

and still die as an unbeliever?

The following video is what Holy Spirit led me to watch that placed this blog post on my heart.

How can so many people read the Bible but still die unbelieving?  RZIM 2/5/2019
"If the Bible is really the revealed Word of God and has the power Christians claim it has, how can so many people read it, know it, and still die un-believing? Ravi Zacharias and Abdu Murray respond at an open forum at Yale University."

God, in wanting our love for Him to be our choice, freely given, gave each of us Free Will! He did not want robots. He was already worshiped by all of creation. He created man in their image for fellowship with Him. There are no magic words that someone could say that would make an unbeliever into a believer. That goes against God's Word and that will never be allowed for God's Word is truth! God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow! Isaiah 55:11 tells us that God's Word does not return to Him void but that it accomplishes what He sent it out to do.

The bottom line of unbelief is very simple. They don't want to believe! They have the pride of life, the lust of the eye, the want of material things this world offers. They refuse to see that Jesus' sacrifice on the cross was for them ... because it would mean giving their life to God and dying to self as they walk the supernatural road of discipleship.

Nothing happens in this world unless God allows it. I accept that God's ways and thoughts are higher than mine. I trust He sees the big, panoramic, picture from the beginning. I do not have this perspective yet, but when I make Heaven my Home, I will have this knowledge and so much more. The book of my life was written before I was even born. I will ask to read that book, when I remember it. I imagine, when I meet Jesus, everything will pass away in the wonder of His love and sacrifice for me! A sinner saved by Grace!

Are you surrounded by fear? Scared and uncertain of what today, and every day beyond that, will bring with the corona virus, lock down, evil in government blatantly planning to force you to act against your will. The only answer to take away that fear is to give your heart to Jesus and God will protect you! You don't accept Jesus for what you can get ... you accept His precious gift because you finally have your eyes and ears opened to the truth of how much you are loved!

If you are being called by Holy Spirit to accept Jesus as your Savior, please pray the ABCs of Salvation: 
Admit:

Confess to God that you are a sinner. Repent or turn away from your sin.
Believe:

Trust that Jesus is God's Son and that God sent Jesus to save people from their sins.
Commit:

Give your life to Jesus. Ask Him to be your Lord and Savior.

I hope you came to Jesus today!

Anna

We see darkly,

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.

Bride of Christ: We Go When ...

GOD the Father sends Jesus for us! 

Truly ... do any of you think our opinion on this matters? For the record: Pre-trib Rapture of His Bride is of the Lord. You either believe it or you don't, but if you keep preaching to others that the rapture does not exist, God's wrath will fall on you.

The wise virgins have oil in their lamps and are watching for they know their Bridegroom comes IMMEDIATELY! 
Forgive each other IMMEDIATELY. 
Pray for one another IMMEDIATELY. 
Whatever you hear in your spirit to do, be obedient and do it IMMEDIATELY! 

IMMEDIATELY definition: without any delay.

End of the World - The Bride of Christ - Must Watch
This video is blessedly anointed by Holy Spirit! 

As to religious disagreements.... Please don't give into the discordant debates. It is not profitable to argue over words 2 Timothy 2:14-16 ... look to Jesus Hebrews 12:2 - the author and finisher of our Faith! 

Let GOD be GOD! Sent with love!

Protect The Children...

fast and pray over them every day!

Whatever children God places on your heart, known or unknown to you, we can all do our part as His Children to protect the Innocents. Sometimes we want to do something but it is hard to get started. I am sharing scriptures to pray over children for protection. This is not an exhaustive list, God led me to these so I am sharing.

Click for more info: praying protection over our children

Fasting increases the power of our prayers. Here are some Scriptural references that will help you in covering your children in prayers of protection:

Genesis 28:15 Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land. For I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.

Psalm 18: 2,3 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

Psalm 91: 1,2, 10 -12 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” no evil shall be allowed to befall you, no plague come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.

Psalm 138:7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble,you preserve my life;
you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand delivers me.

Isaiah 43:1-3 But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God,  the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.

I hope and pray this is a blessing to all who read these words and put them into practice as God puts a burden for children on their hearts.

Maranatha,
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.

I invite you to click on these links:

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!

What Would You Do ...

If you were like the woman with an issue of blood in the Bible. If you don't know of her, here are the scriptures with explanations.

WOMAN WITH ISSUE OF BLOOD

The Woman Who Was Healed By A Touch

Matthew 9:20-22; Mark 5:25-34; Luke 8:43-48

God has not, does not, and will not change! The miracles in the Bible ARE still available today. Like the woman with the issue of blood for 12 years ... society said she was 'unclean' but her faith was strong enough that if she could get to Jesus and just touch the hem of His garment, she would be made whole! 

I am publicly taking a step of FAITH right now! I believe that God WILL heal me - of everything that is wrong with me (even including scars from surgery) in His appointed time. In addition to my health, there are years that have been stolen from me that God is going to restore. Holy Spirit confirms this to me every time I think of it, speak of it, write it down ... any way that I communicate my belief in His promise as He has shown it to me.

In the course or our life, we all have habits that we don't really think about. We have weekend habits. We have week day habits. We have habits we are comfortable with and habits we would like to stop doing. Are you ready to live a life that is Holy? Are you ready to give the habits that are not pleasing to God and ask Him for help in laying them down? Time is short. Make the most of it!

1 Peter 1:16(KJV) 

Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

Are you living for your Savior?  Are you living for yourself? Are you just doing the minimum needed to get by?  

How much fuel do YOU have?

It all depends on you and your choices. No one can walk this life for you. No one can make this decision for you. Will you be lukewarm or will you be on fire for the Lord?

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.

The FINAL Stretch Is HERE

… Do not be weary. Hold On Tight to God! 

I pray you will see and hear what Father is saying. Called to be a watchman for the Lord, I refuse to not share this critical message. The darkness intensifies … so many have not accepted Jesus’ sacrifice … the urgency is upon my heart and spirit. A very clear, precise line of separation is being made. The very nearness of Jesus coming and the lateness of this hour brings this division.

Abba, Father, I pray for each one that You bring to this page. That there will be clear decisions to walk without straddling the fence. War is inevitable. Our lives will be changed. I trust in You and I ask for strength to continue prayers and the battles for souls. I am strong in You, Lord. In Jesus Name. Amen!

The Final Stretch by Behold I Come

Please do not ignore this message. God IS calling, urgently!

Psalm 1:1-6 (KJV)
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Seek Nourishment ...

for your spirit as the days grow darker yet.

When the days are busy, loud, and not encouraging ... let go of this non-nutritional worldly life. There is nothing in this world that will feed your spirit, heart, soul or mind. Only time spent with the Creator of ALL THINGS will bring you love, comfort, healing, and give you nourishment to grow.

Look at each day Step-By-Step or else it will become overwhelming and discouraging. We are to lift our eyes to the hills where our help comes from. If you don't know how to simplify your life into what God wants it to be ... ASK HIM! If you are truly sincere in wanting to follow His Plan for your life, you have to ask and BE WILLING to do what you hear Him tell you. Don't be like the rich young man that wanted to enter the kingdom of Heaven, but upon learning he had to sell all and give to the poor, he turned back. He was NOT WILLING - his worldly treasures were his priorities -- to his thinking the cost was too high. [Matthew 19:16–30, Mark 10:17–31 and Luke 18:18–30].

Letting go of what your flesh wants, every day, while seeking God and His Will ... this is the only way to be content in this life. [Philippians 4:12]. We can fill our days up with so much, that in the end doesn't matter, that when we see a real need and higher purpose for our lives and time ... we get discouraged and think we just cannot do it. That is a lie from the pits of Hell. Satan would like nothing better than to steal your joy, rob you of your peace, and pour defeatism into you!

Don't give in to that! When you put on your armor, why are you told to take up the Shield of Faith??? -- To QUENCH the fiery darts of the wicked -- what are those things? Anything that attacks, tries to slip in under your guard, brings despair and despondency, obscures your vision so you cannot see anything but darkness surrounding you. SEE and HEAR the TRUTH: You have access to eyes to see, ears to hear, [Matthew 13:15-17].

Come to the Table by Sidewalk Prophets

Truly there is NOTHING in this WORLD that holds a candle to what God has planned for you for ETERNITY!

Pray For Father's Will To Be Done ...

If we do not do this, we will miss Father's Will.

Remember ... our thoughts and ways ARE NOT His Thoughts and Ways!!!

Go to Father and seek His Will. If you need more instruction on how to seek God ... time is short for you to learn so open your heart and ASK for Him to teach you!

Maranatha,
Anna

God's Ways Are Not Our Ways ...

His thoughts are not our thoughts. 
We should never presume to speak for God: He is so high above us! So many times we have all heard someone tell others what God thinks / what God does ... seriously?!! We are not, and never will be, equal with God and know His heart and mind fully! He will have mercy on whom He will have mercy!

Isaiah 55:8-9
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Romans 9:15 
For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.

Instead of condemning and putting people down, why not lift them up to Jesus instead? Put away your judgments. Put away your anger. Put away your hate. Ask God to heal your heart and to show you How to pray for His Children! 

Please spend time with God today and ask for His love for people. For Him to place people on your heart to pray for and lift up to Him.
John 1:5
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

Maranatha,
Anna

Whom Do You Fear?

The Lord or man?

Psalm 86:11 
Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

The Fear of the Lord is:
To obey His voice
The beginning of  knowledge
Wisdom and knowing to depart from evil
Where you find the Knowledge of God
To hate evil, pride, arrogance, evil ways and filthy mouths
The way to prolong our days
A place of confidence in the Lord
A fountain of life
keeps us from the snares of death
is needed before instruction and wisdom
Is the instruction of wisdom
Keeps us from evil
Where our heart should be all day- not envying sinners
One of the seven fold spirits of the Lord
gives quick godly understanding
Our treasure= through which we receive wisdom and understanding which results in stability and strength of salvation
A Precious Key for our churches
Prepares you for the Lord’s teaching
To delight in His commands
rewarded with blessings
Keeps you safe prov 29:25
To fear God is to trust Him
Our duty in Life – To fear God and keep His commands
reminds us not to Trust in mans words or to be swayed by the countenance of others
keeps us from fearing man
the spirit of the Lord that the Lord is searching for within us
To trust in His Ways, not our own ways
To hope in His Mercy
in that which the Lord delights to see in His people
The Lord taketh pleasure in those who fear Him
There is no want to those who fear Him
The Angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him! A key of our protection and deliverance in troubles because the angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them

To Fear Man:
is to lack knowledge and wisdom
is to be wise in your own eyes (Saul’s downfall)
is a snare and a trap in your life
the sign of a fool
is to despise wisdom and instruction
is to love evil
will shorten your days
is trouble
envy sinners
is to not honor God’s laws or commands
is to despise God’s ways
despise the Lord
trust your own ways

Fear of the Lord vs Fear of Man

Abba, Father, please strengthen and encourage each of us today. May You make us bold witnesses for Jesus. We ask You to teach us Your Ways and to pray Your Will be done! In Jesus Name. Amen

Total Eclipse: Changes!!!

I was at work when the eclipse was happening. I had a link online and watched as TOTALITY occurred in different cities: starting in Oregon and ending in Charleston, SC. I was to wait for confirmation from the Lord before I could share the message He poured into my heart during that time. Confirmation I was given is here if you would like to read it.

During the time of the eclipse, the powerful presence of Holy Spirit covered me. If you have ever felt the anointing and presence of Holy Spirit, you will know what I mean. At that time, all I was allowed to share [with my BFF Divine only - no one else] was "Tammie, the Holy Spirit is all over me! This is a warning! We are worshiping the creation and not the Creator. God is not pleased!" 

This is what God spoke to me during that time:

"This eclipse is a warning. It is a HARBINGER! They worship creation and not the Creator! There are many things that will come upon this land. I have called them and called them, asked and asked, been lenient time and again. No longer! The blood of the innocent calls out to me. They are a wicked, selfish, unrepentant people with evil in their hearts continually. Do not think it strange what you will see happening: they have sown the wind now they will reap the whirlwind. I command all creation: rest assured, disaster upon disaster will rise up across this place. I AM removing my protective cover from the United States this day!"

[Since that day, God has given me more things to say. He encourages me not to be fearful but to be BOLD.]
Continue to tell them, my daughter, all that I give you to speak. Do not fear them. Do not worry. I know you Love Me, first and foremost, above and before anyone or anything else.
I have been obedient -- check out the blogs He gave me since 8/21/17:
8/22/2017     The Unpardonable Sin ...
8/25/2017     Do Not Disrespect Others ...
8/28/2017     Are You Sure ...

Many things have happened since the eclipse on 8/21/2017: the biggest being Harvey! I pray that Holy Spirit convicts each of you that He brings here to read this blog. That you would be led to repent and ask forgiveness, for whatever you are shown. If something happened that concerns me, I forgive you, as Father has taught me. I do not want to be rebellious so that a root of bitterness could  rise up in my heart. 

1 Peter 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
