Podcasts about my presence

Homily for the 3rd Sunday of Easter: Total Time: 17m6sReflection shared during homily: You waste a lot of time, however, worrying about storms you can see forming along the horizon of your life. In the past many of the storms you had anticipated veered off in another direction, never reaching you. Although some of them did actually hit, usually they had lost much of their power by the time they got to you. I urge you to switch your focus from difficulties that may come your way to My Presence, which is always with you.  You will never find security by trying to anticipate all the storms that may reach you someday. Remember that I control the atmosphere of your life. Trust Me by relaxing and releasing your concerns into My capable care. It saddens Me to see you obsessing about possible problems rather than bringing these matters to Me.  When you find yourself anxiously scanning the horizon of your life, use that as a reminder to seek My Face. You will not find Me off in the distance. I am here beside you, nearer than you dare believe. Instead of wasting time worrying, devote that time to building close friendship with Me. Talk with Me about everything that concerns you—your pleasures as well as your problems.   I am interested in everything that matters to you because I am your perpetual Lover. Remember that I am holding you by your right hand. I guide you with My own counsel, based on eternal wisdom; so there's no need to worry about the future. When the time comes, I will personally take you into Glory. For now just live near Me. My friendship is your best refuge in the storms of life.   Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. 1 CHRONICLES 16:11   “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness.” JEREMIAH 31:3   Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory. . . . But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign LORD my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds. PSALM 73:23–24, 28Young, Sarah. Jesus Lives (pp. 272-273). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.

Homily For The Presentation of the Lord (February 2, 2025) Total Time: 12m4sReflection I shared from the devotional "Jesus Calling"LEARN TO LAUGH at yourself more freely. Don't take yourself or your circumstances so seriously. Relax and know that I am God with you. When you desire My will above all else, life becomes much less threatening. Stop trying to monitor My responsibilities—things that are beyond your control. Find freedom by accepting the boundaries of your domain. Laughter lightens your load and lifts your heart into heavenly places. Your laughter rises to heaven and blends with angelic melodies of praise. Just as parents delight in the laughter of their children, so I delight in hearing My children laugh. I rejoice when you trust Me enough to enjoy your life lightheartedly. Do not miss the Joy of My Presence by carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. Rather, take My yoke upon you and learn from Me. My yoke is comfortable and pleasant; My burden is light and easily borne. A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. —PROVERBS 17:22 She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. —PROVERBS 31:25 “The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” —which means, “God with us.” —MATTHEW 1:23 TTake My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest . . . for your souls. For My yoke is wholesome (useful, good—not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but comfortable, gracious, and pleasant), and My burden is light and easy to be borne. —MATTHEW 11:29–30 AMPYoung, Sarah.

Exodus 33: 12 - 19 (NKJV) 12 Then Moses said to the Lord, “See, You say to me, ‘Bring up this people.' But You have not let me know whom You will send with me. Yet You have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My sight.' 13 Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people.” 14 And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” 15 Then he said to Him, “If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here. 16 For how then will it be known that Your people and I have found grace in Your sight, except You go with us? So we shall be separate, Your people and I, from all the people who are upon the face of the earth.” 17 So the Lord said to Moses, “I will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by name.” 18 And he said, “Please, show me Your glory.” 19 Then He said, “I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.”

Moses said to the Lord, “You have been telling me, ‘Lead these people,' but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, ‘I know you by name and you have found favor with me.' If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.” The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest. (Exodus 33: 12-14)

A Fake Christianity (audio) David Eells 10/20/24 False Signs, Wonders, Miracles & Christians Vision of the Enemy's Battle Plan by Hollie Moody As I was praying on April 25, 2000, I began to see in my mind a picture of the Lord. He was sitting on a rock and groups of people of all ages were gathered around Him. They all seemed to be laughing and talking together. I felt joy and peace and happiness as I viewed this scene. At times, the Lord would reach down and bring a child onto His lap. Or, He would reach out and a baby would be placed into His arms. He would then gaze down into the face of the baby and speak softly and tenderly to the baby. At other times, someone would draw close to His side, and He would place His arm around them, and draw them closer to Him.  An angel approached the Lord. The crowd before the Lord parted to allow the angel to draw near to the Lord. A silence fell over the laughing, joyous crowd as the angel stopped before the Lord and began to speak. From the way this angel was dressed, I sensed immediately that this was a warring angel. Being a warring angel and well aware of the coming battle plan of the enemy, he spoke with a strong sense of urgency and even perplexity in his voice. He was very concerned.  “There is work to be done”, the angel said to the Lord. “Why do the people only sit here idly? These are dangerous times. The people should be doing battle in prayer and in the spirit. Instead, they sit here at Your feet, laughing. They are completely unaware of what is even now transpiring in the courts of hell”. With great concern in his voice, the angel asked, “Why are You allowing this?”  [Before continuing the vision, as a side bar to that conversation, I had the impression the angel and the Lord had been in each other's presence numerous times and had many conversations with one another. What the angel said did not sound disrespectful or challenging at all. I could feel how he was feeling, and it was a genuine question in the midst of such perplexing opposition to come.]  The Lord gazed with love at the angel before Him. “Before I answer your questions”, the Lord replied, “take this child of Mine and show them what is being planned by the enemy”.  Both the angel and the Lord then turned their heads and stared at me. “This will be too much for her”, the angel protested. “Take her and show her”, the Lord repeated. (The angel bowed his head to the Lord, then turned towards me.)  I began to back nervously away as the angel approached me. “Where are you taking me?” I asked the angel. “To the enemy's camp”, the angel replied. “Go with him”, the Lord instructed me.  I felt very nervous and afraid, but allowed the angel to touch me. As soon as the angel touched me, we were in darkness. I felt fear engulf me. “Fear not”, the angel said to me, and instantly, the fear vanished.  The darkness seemed to dissipate, and I discovered that the angel and I were in what appeared to be a great court. A man was sitting on a large throne, and before him were gathered all types of creatures and men. (This “court” had the appearance of a cave. When I first viewed this scene, I felt stunned. I'm not sure why. It was like something “rebelled” in me at what I was seeing.)  “Who is that man on the throne?” I asked the angel. “And who are the creatures and men gathered before him?” “That is the accuser of the brethren and his armies”, the angel replied.  I then realized that I was in the presence of satan. (When the angel informed me that this man was satan, the fact that he was sitting on a throne amazed me. Later, when I prayed about this aspect of the vision, I felt that the Lord said that satan was trying to copy everything that was God's in heaven, for himself.)  Satan was speaking, and I heard him say, “This will be our strategy”. He then got up from his throne and went to stand in front of a large map on the wall behind him. As I stared at the map, I became aware that it was a map of the entire world. (It is very hard to describe this “map”. The map wasn't actually “pinned” or “hanging” on the wall, but it was in front of the wall. But, it was like I could see it from all angles. And also, I could see like “air waves”, “wind currents”, the tides of the seas, etc. I could also see the hemisphere around the world -- moons, stars, planets, etc. I really have no words or way to correctly put down the appearance of this “map”.)  Satan began to divide the world into sections. Then, he called out some names. I saw the creatures and the men gathered before satan part, and very large and strong-looking angelic beings approached satan. (I saw four of these mighty-looking angelic beings.) I could sense the power of these beings, and sensed the evil and wickedness of that power. A hush had fallen over the crowd.  “Who are these beings?” I whispered to the angel whom I was with. The angel I was with seemed concerned. “They are satan's princes”. Satan began speaking again, and he was assigning sections of the world to each of these “princes”.  “You will need your armies”, satan said to them. “Choose whomever you will. All is at your disposal”. The large beings then began to pick and choose who would be in their particular army. (This was by no means “orderly”. There was a great deal of arguing, bickering, etc.) When they were finished, they all turned back to satan and stared at him. “Each prince will teach you our strategy to deceive and to destroy and to slay mankind”, satan said. “Go with them”.  The princes and their armies began to exit from the presence of satan. The angel and I began to follow one of the groups. They went into what appeared to be a school room. The prince went to the front of the room and began to instruct his army on how to deceive, destroy and slay the people in their particular section of the world who had been allocated to them. The angel and I then went to each “classroom”. The same plans and strategies were being “taught” in each “classroom”. (By the “same” plans, I don't mean each class was teaching the exact same thing. What I mean is that each class was very thorough in what it was teaching, and on how to apply what was being taught.)  In some of the classrooms, they were studying political leaders. Their families, homes, lifestyles, etc., were being closely scrutinized. I felt very frightened and helpless, very overwhelmed, as I saw and heard how very thorough these “lessons”, for lack of a better word, were. Nothing was left to chance. Every area of these political leaders' lives was being dissected and investigated and studied.  Demons were being assigned on how to “attack” and influence and “control” each of these political leaders, their families, and even their friends and co-workers. Nothing was left to chance. Nothing was overlooked. The books they read, the radio stations they listened to, etc., everything, everything was being discussed. The enormity of all of this was absolutely mind-boggling to me. This also occurred with the religious leaders.  It was the “religion” classes that frightened and shocked me the most. In these classes, religions of the nations were being studied and discussed. Even New Age and occult, wicca, tarot, etc., were being discussed. Buddhism, Hinduism, etc., were being discussed. The bibles and books and other writings for all of these religions were being read and studied. Each denomination of Christianity was being studied. The Bible being studied was the major source of information for these “lessons”. This was truly horrifying and shocking to me that demons were reading and studying the Bible. And, it was all for the intent to twist what was written, and to seek ways to misinterpret, misrepresent, etc., it to Christians. The demons were discussing ways to “dilute” the Gospel. They were discussing ways to “incorporate” major beliefs from all the religions into one big acceptable “gospel for humankind”.  Some of the demons in these religion classes were ordered to “infiltrate” churches, were being taken into actual churches, and were watching how the people prayed, worshipped, sang, etc. They were studying how messages were being delivered to the congregations in numerous churches. They were studying the individuals who were used in the operation of the gifts of the Spirit. These individuals were followed around constantly by assigned demons, who watched and listened to everything these people said and did. The friends and family members of these individuals were also studied. The demons discussed ways to drive wedges, etc., between those people who were truly being used of God, and the people they went to church with, and even how to cause these people's own pastors and spiritual leaders to lose faith and confidence in these people who were used in the gifts of the Spirit. I felt so angry and frustrated and helpless as I saw and heard how this was to be accomplished, and how it had already been initiated in many, many congregations, and how it was largely succeeding.  Many of these “religious” demons, for lack of a better word, were being taught how to sing in churches, how to dance in the Spirit, how to pray and teach. I felt at times as if I were going to vomit as I witnessed many demons in these classrooms “practicing” how to worship the Lord, and how to be a Christian. Seeing a demon “dancing before the Lord” is so awful, and so sickening, that there are just no words to describe it adequately.  Some of these more “major” demons could also work “signs and wonders, and even miracles”. Some of these demons were also being taught how to be “Christ”. This was being done by actually studying the scriptures. Seeing some of these demons acting and speaking like Christ shocked me speechless. Seeing them reading the Bible was like an abomination to me.  In some of these classes, even UFOs and aliens were being discussed, and how to deceive people through these phenomenon. There were classrooms where food and dress and slang words - yes, slang words(!) were being studied. Crops were being studied and discussed. All of this was just so vast it overwhelmed me.  Suddenly, the “classes” began to leave the rooms. The angel and I followed them. They congregated back in front of satan. “Report”, satan said. “How will we deceive, destroy and slay mankind?”  One of the princes came forward and began to outline their plans and strategies to satan. “The people want signs and wonders and miracles from their religious leaders”, the prince said. “We know that our enemy will be, and has begun already, to grant this unto his children. We will slip in with a counterfeit move, and deceive many. We have taught our armies how to mimic worship, praise and looking and acting like a true believer. We will give unto our armies the ability to work signs, wonders and even miracles. But while all become focused upon these outward manifestations, others of us will begin behind the scenes to dilute the message of the gospel. We will accomplish this partly through speaking to the people about God's 'true' nature. We will allow the people to create God into what and whom they want Him to be”.  “Good”, satan said. “Very good”.  The prince began to speak once again. “When the people have created their own version of God, then, we will give them OUR god”. The crowd before satan began to cheer wildly.  “We must depart!” the angel urged me. Suddenly, we were back before the Lord. He was still in the midst of His children; laughing with them, talking to them, touching them. A silence fell over the group once again as the angel I was with once more approached the Lord. The angel reported to the Lord all we had heard and seen in hell.  The angel was very concerned and distressed, asking, “Why are You just sitting here with the people? Why haven't they been sent to begin battle? How will they be able to discern this coming great deception if they aren't even aware that one is coming?”  The Lord became grave. His face as He looked at His children was alight with His great love for them. I noticed tears in His eyes. Then, He turned His head and looked at the angel, speaking with Him.  “My children will know the false, by knowing the true”, the Lord said. “The longer they spend in My Presence, the more they will know My voice when they hear it. A voice of a stranger, they will not follow”. “But the enemy has those who have been taught to speak just as You do”, the angel protested. “They sound almost just like You”.  “Almost”, the Lord replied gently. “Almost they sound like Me. Only My sheep who have lingered long in My Presence will know the voice of their true Shepherd. And this is why I spend so much time with My children. I spend as much time with them as they allow Me to. I know very well what the enemy is planning. My plans are plans of love and fellowship”. The angel and the Lord both fell silent as they gazed at the crowd before the Lord. “Love them well!” the angel replied.  “Yes, a battle is coming”, the Lord sighed, and I saw tears in His eyes. “Great wickedness and persecution upon My children; My true children who know My voice. A time of wickedness and persecution such as has never been seen or experienced. Yet in the midst of it all, I will move, I will bless, I will speak, I will love. I will win. There are those of My children who sense much of this. They are the ones who will never stop praying and interceding; not even in times of seeming peace”. “What about me, Lord?” I asked.  The angel and the Lord looked at me. “Pray”, the Lord replied. “Tell the prayer warriors to strengthen themselves and their brothers and sisters in the times of peace. I will be pouring out of My Spirit upon all nations and peoples. It will spread to even the most unlikely of places -- television, magazines, newspapers, radios, even the Internet. And it will be here that the battle will truly begin, and the deception begin”.  The Lord stood up. “It is time?” the angel asked Him. “It is time”, the Lord replied. Then, I was no longer with the Lord or the angel, but praying once again.  John 10 is in my mind; especially verse 14: “I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine”.        Discernment Delivers from False Prophets  Jay Nara - Romania - 06/09/2008 (David's notes in red)  I dreamed I was in a class with several other pupils. We were in this big room which looked rather like a gymnasium and I remember thinking and missing my friends from other classes whom I remembered were long gone away. David Eells was our teacher and I was standing next to him. (A type of David, the Man-child.) David was telling me that the previous night there was a party at his next door neighbor's house and he didn't get much sleep. (God's people giving into lasciviousness have truly caused me some loss of sleep.) He was casually dressed, like a sports teacher or a trainer. (We have to train the people of God to get in shape for the contest to come.) Since I was seeing his profile I noticed he was wearing a patch or a piece of wool over his nose, like he had a nose job, or even more, it looked to me like something he was wearing to filter the air he was breathing. (This nose filter represents the ability to discern good from evil. The nose gives discernment to the mind that is neither seen nor heard. Wool over the nose represents having the true clothing or actions of sheep, which filter out the false spirits, which is the meaning of “breath” in the Hebrew.)  The next thing I remember was a tall man entering the room, accompanied with a woman. (The tall man is seen in many dreams as the corporate false prophet and his companion the harlot church.) They were dressed in suits and looked to me like teachers. The man came and was standing next to me and I knew they were there to acquire some pupils for themselves. (They will seek through lasciviousness, meaning a license to excess, to draw aside disciples of Christ.) I tried to ignore him since I could tell what his intentions were, and then he pointed his finger at me. I looked around for David but couldn't see him. (We will face temptation alone.) I turned to the man and looked at his face for the first time. He was so tall, almost all the way up to the ceiling; I remember feeling the pain in my neck as I was struggling to look at his face. (His great size represents a corporate body of people.) He was nicely groomed, curly haired and had bright grey watery eyes. (They tend to see things in grey, not black or white, as in wrong or right.)   Being determined, I told him that I was not going with him because David was my teacher. As I was saying these words I was getting weak. I remember being hardly able to say that last word “teacher”, but I succeeded. He looked shocked and very offended because obviously he had the authority to choose from the class as he liked, and he looked at the woman (harlot?) with disbelief. He looked back to me, trying to put some smile on his angry face, and then I woke up. (The Sanskrit meaning for “Jay” is “victory”. Although tempted, Jay, in this dream, obviously represents those who gain the victory over the false prophet and harlot because of their training in discernment. We are told that the Word exercises our senses to discern good from evil: Heb.5:12 For when by reason of the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need again that someone teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of solid food. 13 For every one that partaketh of milk is without experience of the word of righteousness; for he is a babe. 14 But solid food is for fullgrown men, [even] those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.)      Persecution from the False Prophet  Kaile H. - 01/19/2011 (David's notes in red)  This is one of the most powerful and vivid dreams that I have had to date. At the beginning of it, I realized that I was a spectator to what was happening in it. I saw a man who was dressed very nicely; he was wearing a gray silk suit and a red silk tie with his hair slicked back and carried himself with self-confidence, almost to the point of being narcissistic. This man was walking around a mall and talking to people of all ages. As he talked to some people, he invited them to a meeting at his house. I noticed as he spoke to the various people that he was very charming and was able to persuade about 20 people to follow him to his home. (The slick man represents the False Prophet who with “feigned words makes merchandise” of the Word and the people. His red tie makes him appear to be wrapped in the blood of Jesus. The mall represents the buying and selling of Babylonish religion. He is narcissistic because he is egotistical and selfish of gain of reputation and material things.)  I followed them out to the parking lot where they carpooled behind this man in his luxury car. I saw them drive over many hills and valleys to a bridge that went out to an island to a huge mansion where this man lived. As they passed over the bridge, I realized that the mansion and the rest of the island were one of the most beautiful places I had ever seen. (He makes merchandise of the people, plundering them for his own selfish gain. His doctrine is conveniently prosperity oriented.)  After the group went into the mansion, he motioned them into a large dining area where the table was filled with different kinds of hors d'oeuvres. The man told them to make themselves at home and then left the room. The people in the room were carrying on conversations and eating when all of a sudden they heard screaming and very strange sounds coming from outside the dining room. As the screaming started, I became aware of a particular woman in the room. (The false prophets have been known throughout history to take advantage of the ladies because their flesh rules them. But also, in a spiritual way, this could represent the woman church horrified at the true nature of this wolf in sheep's clothing.)  Then, the doors to the dining room swung open and there we saw the well-to-do man standing in the doorway with an AK-47 in his hand. The man did not have his hair slicked back anymore; it was messed up and he had a very demonic look on his face. After observing the obvious change in his demeanor, I saw the doors on the other side of the dining room open and the man told the group, “START RUNNING!” (These egomaniacs have a hidden purpose: to kill the saints of God as the false prophet Sanhedrin of Jesus' day did. The saints will be running from them, spiritually and literally, very soon. They have the backing of the beast government to deceive and persecute the saints, as in Jesus' day.)  I then realized that for a brief amount of time I had the point of view of the woman as she ran through the hallway. There were people getting shot behind where the woman and a man were running. There was a room that the two found and they ran into it. The man saw that there was an EXIT sign and a door that went outside. I noticed that the EXIT sign looked strange and I didn't have a good feeling about it. The man told the woman that they needed to go through the door but she told him that they shouldn't go out there. Instead, there was a little bit of a bench behind a dark gray curtain and they sat on the bench. (Every avenue of escape is not a true escape from the False Prophet and Beast. Some are a trap designed by them, like the mark of the Beast. “Resting” and being “hidden in Christ”, “seated with Him in heavenly places” behind the veil is the true escape.)  A few minutes after the man and woman sat behind the curtain, there was a group of three boys who ran through (representing the immature church). They first slammed their backs up against the man and woman but somehow didn't realize that there were people behind the curtain. (I was reminded of this verse: Psa.91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.) Once they all took a deep breath, they ran through the EXIT straight outside. The boys ran over to the edge of the courtyard to find that there was nowhere to go because the bridge that they had traveled on had disappeared. As soon as they got to the edge of the courtyard, the ground started shifting and it revealed a muddy (dark brown or black), quicksand-like layer underneath where there were some decomposing bodies.   There was one boy who was closer to the edge than the others and he fell straight down to his death as the ground shifted. (There are many ways that seem right to men but in the end it is the way of death. (Pro.14:12, 16:25) One-third of the immature church at this time falls away because of walking on shifting sands of false doctrines instead of the Word. This does not include the tares that were really never in the church of the called-out ones.) (When the sandy ground began to shift, the Lord reminded me of the house built on the rock versus the sand.   Mat.7:24 Every one therefore that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them, shall be likened unto a wise man, who built his house upon the rock: 25 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and if fell not: for it was founded upon the rock. 26 And every one that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand: 27 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and smote upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall thereof.)  The two other boys knew that they needed to find a way out, so they started running back toward the mansion to go a different direction. (Two-thirds repent, i.e., change direction.) As they started running toward the house, I saw that the look and feel to this island had changed. It was no longer lush and vibrant with color but it had become very dark and the mansion looked old and run-down. (Once God's people pass through this Babylonish house and change direction, they see it as it really is -- a corrupt and dying tomb full of dead men's bones.)  When the boys had almost made it to where the house was, the door that the boys came out of swung open and the crazed man came outside. I noticed that he seemed to change even more since the last time I saw him in the dining room. His silk suit was no longer silk. It looked like it was made of wool and it was a lot larger than him, especially in his shoulders (as soon as I saw him I thought of a wolf with a thick overcoat). The tie was also a different shade of red -- dark maroon. (Once God's people pass through this Babylonish house, they perceive the wolf in sheep's clothing as really very small in comparison to the image he at first portrayed to the public. His maroon tie represents blood that has lost its oxygen or breath of the Spirit. The blood that is spent and returning to the heart rather than the red blood that comes from the heart.)  At that point, I saw the point of view of one of the boys. I saw the boy in front get shot down immediately after the crazed man came outside. The other boy then tripped and the man quickly came and put the barrel of the gun against the base of his skull. It was kind of strange because I could almost feel the metal on the back of his skull, like it was mine, and then I heard a gunshot and then everything went black. (The factious people have demonstrated this well to us. They are very slick when trying to impart to people their slander and witchcraft. They are full of fleshly lusts that drive them. Initially some escape them but their suspicious thoughts remain to tempt and tempt and when they give in they return to the one who infected them they spiritually die and never return to God. I use this as an example but the devil has many traps.)  Then, I saw the man start going around the outside of his mansion and throughout the hallways, cleaning up the blood and disposing of the dead bodies. After he got done tidying up, he slicked his hair back and changed his clothes back into the silk suit to get ready to bring another group of people to his house. As I watched him present himself as the charming well-to-do man again, I was reminded of the wolves in sheep's clothing that Jesus talked about in Mat.7:15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. (I also began to think about the adjective that first came to mind when I saw him -- “charming” -- which automatically makes me think about witchcraft and manipulation. (things that are not of God.)  I then went back to the man and woman who were still quietly hiding behind the curtain (resting in the secret place of the Most High). They heard the bridge coming back up and at that point they made a run for it. The crazed man realized that there were still two people on the property and ran outside to try and kill them but it was too late. The man and woman had already made it across the bridge and were out of sight. (They who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will escape.) (As I began to type this dream out, I thought that it was significant that only one man and one woman survived this attack and I thought about the woman and the Man-child. I was reminded of the passage in Revelation where the dragon wanted to devour the Man-child once he was delivered by the woman but, as in the time to come in the dream, the evil one did not prevail.) (The Man-child and those of the woman church who abide in the rest by faith will escape.)  Just after we received the above dream we received this next dream:    Jenn Reams - 01/29/2011  I was with a group of about 100 people. We had been gathered by the government into a public building. We were there under the pretense of being helped, but I knew it was a trap and they were planning to kill us. But I knew no one would believe me. As I prayed for the boldness to warn them anyway, I began to warn them individually, starting with my husband and daughter. For some reason I can't remember their response. But I know it ended with me telling everyone at once that it was a trap and they were planning to kill us; we were on the red list.   I know this is possibly because of the warnings and Bible studies I've been listening to and not necessarily a prophetic dream. However, it was a warning. And one question that come to my mind is, people know about the red list in reality, so why would I need to tell them? (Maybe because individuals don't know if they are on the red list.)     Mega-Churches & Strong Delusion  Churches Deceived into Program  Deborah Horton - 07/09/2005 (David's notes in red)  In a dream, I saw mega-church after mega-church flashing by. The congregations were well-dressed and complacent. Then I saw not quite as many smaller churches flashing by. They had all been tricked into joining a “program” that was supposed to help them grow. In the dream, I knew it was every single mega-church but not as many of the smaller ones that were involved. None of the home groups would participate. (See Baiting the False Prophet & War in our One-Hour series.)  This “program” progressively took greater and greater control of each church. At first, the people were very happy with their decision; however, when there was no longer any way for them to escape, they began to see the “program” for what it really was. By the time each group had been reduced to a handful of people, the controlling force stopped pretending to be helping them and revealed itself as an ugly, blood-thirsty monster. Amazing to me was that as the people were being systematically taken over, they looked more and more like the monster themselves. It was awful and I was horrified by how easily the people were tricked and how quickly they were degraded and killed.   (In Eze.17:21 The Lord said He would ‘scatter toward every wind' those who rebelled against Babylon. Rebelling here means to physically fight with them to not accept their cross. Eze 17:21 And all his fugitives in all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward every wind: and ye shall know that I, Jehovah, have spoken it. Those who don't take the mark of the beast will flee it but many of these will make war on the beast and lose. Others will have their eyes opened and will join to the Man-child and Two Witness ministries.)  As I woke up, I realized that “program” was a play on the word, “pogrom”, which is defined as “An organized and often officially encouraged massacre or attack on a national, religious or ethnic minority. (Not necessarily a physical attack; sometimes it is a spiritual attack that brings spiritual death.) An organized massacre of the Jews In Czarist Russia. The Russian word for ‘devastation'”.      Deception Coming to the O.W.O. Church  Marion Carney - 02/29/2008 (David's notes in red)  I dreamt I was at my grandmother's old apartment complex with a few others. I came up the elevator and walked down the hallway to her apartment door. I could see that the door was already slightly opened so I walked in. There wasn't anyone inside at first and I walked over to the patio windows. (The apartment complex represents joining house to house; the great unified corporate house of the harlot church in the U.S. Isa.5:8 Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no room, and ye be made to dwell alone in the midst of the land! 9 In mine ears [saith] Jehovah of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant. That no one was home – ‘without inhabitant' -- speaks to the coming desolation of this corporate house.)  I noticed it was getting very windy outside it was gray and raining just a bit. There was an old woman in the parking lot below me and she was caught in the wind; the wind was so strong that it pushed her over. As I watched the wind became stronger and stronger. She was really struggling to walk; the wind became so strong that it cracked the glass that I was looking out of. Just as it cracked the woman was picked up in the air by the wind and was being swept away. An old man then appeared and was trying to help the old woman but the wind was too strong for them both and they were lifted up in the air several feet off the ground. When they were lifted up the wind blew them around the side of the building, out of my view. I then backed away from the window because the other side of the glass was cracking.   (The old woman represents the same thing as the apartment complex, the old apostate church, which is being blown by ever-increasing winds of false doctrines by their deceiving leaders, represented by the ‘old man'. Eph.4:14 that we may be no longer children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error... This house will be destroyed by the winds of the Beast and False Prophet doctrines. Mat.7:26 And every one that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand: 27 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and smote upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall thereof.)  I turned around with the intent to go help the older people and when I did there were two men at a small table that resembled a small fold-out card table; it was placed directly in the middle of the room. On the table was a porcelain teapot and a teacup. The inside of this cup had writing inscribed all around it, kind of like a measuring cup would be. The man who had the teapot in his hand poured some to tea for the man who was sitting down. He filled the small cup up to one of the inscriptions and nodded for the man to drink it. The man drinking the tea didn't know that he was actually being deceived as the words that were inscribed in the cup were actually words of a ritual and every time the man filled the cup up to a different level the man was partaking in a ritual. (Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft. Like the frog in the teapot, the heat was raised so gradually the frog didn't notice he was being cooked.)   I tried telling the man sitting down to not drink the tea, that he was being deceived; however, they could not hear me. The man served him two more times and the last cup was measured one line from being completely filled to the top. As the man drank from the cup the other man who was serving him smiled, and then I awoke. (Marion's ‘intent to go help the older people' was interrupted by a revelation that deception is sent to them instead. Those leaders who do not listen to God's warnings will have even greater deception measured back to them from the beast than what they meted out to the apostate Church. Mar.4:23 If any man hath ears to hear, let him hear. 24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete it shall be measured unto you; and more shall be given unto you. 25 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath.   Those who walk in the steps of the Sanhedrin to crucify the body of Christ will have the Beast to measure it back to them. Mat.23:30 and say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we should not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. 31 Wherefore ye witness to yourselves, that ye are sons of them that slew the prophets. 32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. 33 Ye serpents, ye offspring of vipers, how shall ye escape the judgment of hell? 34 Therefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: some of them shall ye kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city: 35 that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth... Pray for the Pauls, the Nicodemuses, the Joseph of Arimathea's to come forth out of them.)  (These false prophets and those who follow them are being bribed by their lusts into strong delusion that will cost many their eternal life. 2 Th.2:8 And then shall be revealed the lawless one, whom the Lord Jesus shall slay with the breath of his mouth, and bring to nought by the manifestation of his coming; 9 [even he], whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 and with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God sendeth them a working of error, that they should believe a lie: 12 that they all might be judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.)    Dream - 03/02/2008 I dreamt a very short dream where I was with a handful of others who were preparing for two major earthquakes. I knew that we would survive the first earthquake; however, I knew that the second earthquake was going to be more destructive. I was looking down at the ground, trying to determine where the earthquake would take place and I was really calculating where it was to take place. I showed the others and told them to prepare for the second earthquake and that it was going to be a bad one.   (We are expecting earthquakes when the Man-child reformers are spiritually resurrected and anointed. Jesus died with an earthquake and was resurrected at a “great earthquake”. (An earthquake is a rending or separating of the earth, representing division between peoples of the earth. Such a division is happening between the Alliance and the DS. Because of this the second, more destructive division will be a civil war in the nation of America. Some clues here: The Department of Health and Human Services has spent $290 million on radiation sickness drugs, hinting at fears of a nuclear conflict. The World Health Organization is updating lists for nuclear emergencies, signaling that something catastrophic may be on the horizon. Remember Operation Gotham Shield? The 2017 simulation of a nuclear attack on New York? It's no longer a simulation—real-world events are aligning. The Deep State, CIA, and FBI are allegedly plotting the cyber-attack of the century. Their goal? To erase investigations into Epstein, Hunter, the 2020 election, and vaccine cover-ups. Their scapegoat? The patriots. Thurs. 17 Oct. 2024: BREAKING: U.S. MILITARY AUTHORIZED TO K**L AMERICANS – DIRECTIVE 5240.01 SUPPRESSED BY GOOGLE – amg-news.com – American Media Group Thurs. 17 Oct. 2024: BREAKING: U.S. Military Authorized to K**l Americans – Ron Paul Warns of Looming Civil War Under New DoD Directive! VIDEO – amg-news.com – American Media Group There was a pretty big house over to the left of me that was on little poles. It looked like one of those homes that are on a lake or beach. However, under this home there was a lot of dirt. (It will be known that this DS house is founded on a lot of dirt, meaning corruption.) I was standing outside the house determining where a safe area would be for us. The others were preparing for the earthquake inside the house. I explained to them that for an earthquake you come out of the house and explained how the house could fall on them. However, they were looking for items to take cover in like a tub or the basement, as if they were preparing for a tornado rather than an earthquake. I was desperately trying to get them out of the house but they would not listen.   The dream ended with me speaking with a man who was sitting on some bricks in the area where I was pinpointing the first earthquake would be. (This ‘pretty big house' on poles that is not founded on the rock of the Word and could fall on the people in this division is the corrupt in Church and government. Mat.7:26 And every one that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand: 27 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and smote upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall thereof. The way to escape this house falling on you is to GET OUT OF THE HOUSE. The man sitting on the pile of bricks represents the total fall of this house.  Rev.18:2 And he cried with a mighty voice, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and is become a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird. ... 4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come forth, my people, out of her, that ye have no fellowship with her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. (Here are some of Marion's dreams which point out the reasons for this destruction.)    Dream 2/08 There was a singular corporate apartment complex standing alone. It was a very expensive, very large building like one you would see in Las Vegas. It was glistening as if it were made of a shiny tin material. (Again we see the apostate church are in agreement, house to house, in a great gamble which will not pay off for them. The DS has unified against the right wing wishing to wipe them out.)  The building was within a few feet of a lake like one of the Great Lakes such as Lake Erie. (Abraham's seed in America is as the sands on the seashore for multitude. Gen.22:17 ...I will multiply thy seed ...as the sand which is upon the seashore. The apartment building is the harlot of Babylon church and government. Rev.17:1 ...I will show thee the judgment of the great harlot that sitteth upon many waters. The many waters represent the peoples of the world. 15 ...The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.  My eldest son, Scott was standing outside of the building, telling me how it was a great location by the water with a great view of the lake. I took notice of this but I was more concerned with wanting to go in and look around. Scott was needing to make a decision about the building and I kept telling him to look around, that there were other homes with a view of a lake. (Many will have to decide whether to be a part of this Harlot church and government.) I don't know how I got inside the building because it was quite a ways away from us at first; however, there I was standing in the hallway. I then began walking through the hallway, looking for people. I was opening and closing doors because I was looking for someone. At one point I was looking for a young girl but I don't know who she was. (Marion failed to find her fruit, her spiritual man, the child born to her, in the harlot church and government as so many will.)  Somehow the dream switched from me being on the inside to being on the outside of the building. At this point I could see the waves of the lake were getting more and more intense. I don't remember going to any high ground but I was now viewing the apartment complex as if I were standing on a hill a ways from it. The water was rougher than when I first saw it and was now really scary looking. (When we dealt with the factious slander and witchcraft spirits in Church we then began to see the same spirits in the leftist government. The judgment of God will continue to rise against these factions.) The waves started to form faster and faster and as I looked on one of the waves started to form so high in the sky that I had a sick feeling come over me. I watched in fear as the wave grew and went kind of in slow motion and slammed into the building with a fury. The impact was so scary to me that I actually awoke at this point, shaken by the power of that wave. (As in all past history, the judgment of God will destroy Beast and Harlot.)    Dream - 03/13/2008 I was walking with a small group of people on the street I grew up on but the street was much wider in some areas than it actually is. Across the street from me were some people leaving my old church. They crossed the street and began walking with me and some others. In this small group there was a man who was very tall with blondish-brown hair. He kept trying to speak with me and give me compliments, despite his wife walking with us. I wouldn't acknowledge him because I knew he was married but that didn't defer him as he kept trying to flirt with me. I purposely kept a good distance from him as we all walked across an open area in the street. (Apostate Saul leaders from the old church and government are living after their lusts. 1Sam.9:2 ...Saul, a young man and a goodly: and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people. The worldly look on the outward appearance but God looketh on the heart. 2 Pet.2:14 having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; enticing unstedfast souls; having a heart exercised in covetousness; children of cursing. ... 18 For, uttering great swelling [words] of vanity, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by lasciviousness, those who are just escaping from them that live in error.)  As we continued to walk around, we again passed by my church and some of the others wanted to go inside to see what they were teaching. I stayed outside on the sidewalk with another and when they came back out one woman said to us, “They aren't teaching what they should be in there” (The apostates will not be able to preach Christ and the Word or risk offending each other.) As she shook her head she seemed really annoyed with what she heard inside the church. My old church didn't look like it normally does. There was a section of it where you could walk right through it like it was hollow. (No substance of truth in church or government.) We continued walking as two of the women discussed what they heard in the church and the same woman was still upset. I started to depart from the others when one of the women spoke out to me, saying, “Be sure to read the passages about Martha and languages in the bible”. I responded nonchalantly, “Ok, I will”, and I walked away. At this point I awoke to my alarm clock.   (Martha represents a large portion of Christianity in that she was known for anxiety and busy works while her sister, Mary, sat at the feet of Jesus and learned of Him. Jesus said that this was the important thing to do in Luk 10:40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving; and she came up to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister did leave me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. 41 But the Lord answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and troubled about many things: 42 but one thing is needful: for Mary hath chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.  The word about languages is a warning that God destroyed man's attempt to make a one-world religion and government at Babel by confusing their languages and He is going to do it again to modern Babel, which means “confusion”. Gen.11:7 Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. 8 So Jehovah scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off building the city. 9 Therefore was the name of it called Babel; because Jehovah did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did Jehovah scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.)     False Prophets Promote the Beast  Gideon Smith - 11/24/2009 (David's notes in red)  I had a very interesting dream; it is very profound to me and I know it's from God. In the dream, my wife and three daughters were sick and in a hospital. (The Church is where healing is supposed to be dispensed.) The doctors and nurses (ministers) were saying they needed more sugar. So then they were led to a floor below us (loss of stature or maturity). I noticed that they were giving them sweets such as donuts, candy and things like that. (Preachers and politicians are great at this.) The strange thing was they were giving it to them through a garbage shoot. (Garbage and bribery is found in both factions.) Sweets taste good to the flesh but will not do any good for the spiritual man. The world's methods for healing or salvation will not contribute any good to the body of Christ.   Being led downstairs brings Colossians 2:20-3:2 to mind. Col 2:20 If ye died with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, do ye subject yourselves to ordinances, 21 Handle not, nor taste, nor touch 22 (all which things are to perish with the using), after the precepts and doctrines of men? 23 Which things have indeed a show of wisdom in will-worship, and humility, and severity to the body; but are not of any value against the indulgence of the flesh. 3:1 If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth.  The garbage shoot show that what they were receiving was weak and beggarly rudiments or principles of the world as it says in Gal 4:9 but now that ye have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how turn ye back again to the weak and beggarly rudiments, whereunto ye desire to be in bondage over again? When seeing this, I noticed that my wife and three daughters had come up stairs to see our new son (in reality, my son is already nine months old). (They were brought up out of bondage to heavenly places when they came up to see the man-child of Rev.12.) When they arrived, I met them and we began to look around the maternity ward and I noticed all the babies were inside incubators that were full of sugary, powdery substances that covered the babies. These looked very underdeveloped, dark and unhealthy. (The babies in the incubators were premature; they could not grow into the man-child; they were full of the powdery, sugary substance which will kill them spiritually.)  Then we went to see my son, whose name is Luke, and he was huge. He was sitting up on his own outside of the incubator, perfectly healthy, and when I looked closer I saw that he was completely covered in blood and there were no wounds or harm to him. (The man-child was covered in the blood; he was fully mature and did not need an incubator to breathe. In fact, he could sit up on his own because he was covered in the blood and cleansed from all the things that the other babies were dying in.)  Then the whole hospital and staff turned on the TVs and there was this big announcement being made by Donald Rumsfeld or some other politician, saying that they had created something great and wonderful. (When looking on Wikipedia, I learned that Donald means “ruler of the world”. WOW. (The immature church and false ministers feed the people the doctrine of the beast kingdom.) The great thing I saw was a spirit. Heb 1:7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels winds [Greek: spirits], And his ministers a flame a fire. This is exactly what I saw, except for in this case it was a body of fallen angels or spirits. (The corporate spirit of the Beast from the pit inhabits the world beast body of both secular and religious people.)  Everyone seemed to be glued to the TV, watching this creation of some sort being introduced. So as they watched, I was taken to the clouds and saw this “great thing” that they were speaking of and it was a gigantic pillar of fire with a fiery flame on top, flying up from the earth and passing the clouds into the atmosphere, but it fell down to the earth. (The fake pillar of fire was to lead the people through the dark wilderness tribulation.) Then I was taken to the earth where I saw its form from another perspective. I saw this pillar of fire, which seemed to be full of winds that kept its flame burning. It was stretched from the ground all the way to the sky. Then I saw what was on top of it and, to my surprise, it was the same image that is on The Beast Is Everywhere article on the UBM website, except the circle in the middle of the two horns was like the all-seeing eye on the back of the dollar bill. (The world and the worldly Christians will worship the golden calf, the false Jesus of Ra, at the command of the false prophets -- the two horns of Rev.13.)  Then, after seeing this, I was back in the hospital with my brother beside me, who saw the same image as I did but no one else did. I urgently told him three times, “That's Ra”.(The ancient Egyptian sun god; the false Son of God or Antichrist Beast. Warning others of a false image of deity for three years.) Then, as the people were watching the news of this “great thing”, I began to warn them and tell them that this is the seven-headed, 10-horned beast.  The people in the hospital began to listen to me. (Those who were coming out of the institutional church.) I noticed my wife was shaking her head, telling me not to speak about it anymore to them; even though I felt led to keep talking, I stopped. (The worldly mother church will not want the truth to be proclaimed to their people.)  Then I woke up from the dream. When I woke up and told my wife the dream, she apologized for what she did in the dream.     Deceived By a False Jesus  B.A. - 09/09/2011 (David's notes in red)  I dreamed that I was walking down the street and I saw some people going up to people on the street and asking them if they would like to be in the audience of a new game show. I kept watching as these people were drawing a large crowd by telling people they could win a house, car, boat, trips, money, etc. (This represents prosperity, love of the world, personal gain, bribery by the flesh, Christianity.) When they got all the people they needed to fill the audience, they took them all inside the darkly lit building. They gave each person a sheet of paper with a number on it and had them all sit down. I saw an elderly man complaining as they handed him his paper. He told them he did not want to be in the audience, that he was brought into the building by force. They made him take the paper anyway and two men took him to his seat and told him to sit down. (The New World Order and its religion will take authority over all. The more mature Christians do not enjoy playing the worldly games with the apostates.)  Then, the game show host came on stage and called out three numbers to select three contestants. A young man was selected, then a middle-aged man, then the older man who didn't want to be there. (Notice these ranged from the less mature to the more mature) The three contestants were taken into a small room and told to wait there. The first contestant was brought out and given a card with three questions on it. (Notice that those in control supplied the questions. They didn't want to trip up their fake Jesus'.) Across from the contestant were three men. The object of the game was for the contestant to guess the REAL JESUS from among these three.   The contestant had one question he was to ask each Jesus. The contestant asked his question to each of the three Jesus', then the game show host told him it was time to select the real Jesus. The contestant chose Jesus number one. Jesus number one jumped up and said, “You are right”. Then the game show host told the contestant that he had won a new house. There was a lot of applause and music and celebration. (Everyone has a different Jesus that they chose for the sake of fleshly advantage, usually so they can continue in pet sins. This worldly Jesus always gets the applause of the worldly.) Contestant number one was led off the stage into the “winners' room” (I noticed this room was painted red on the inside) and told he had to wait there until the show was over.  Contestant number two was brought out and again he was given a card with three questions. He asked his three questions to each of the three Jesus'. He chose Jesus number two. Jesus number two jumped up and exclaimed, “You are right!” The game show host then told the contestant that he had won a beautiful, new shiny car. Again, there was much applause, music and celebration. Then, contestant number two was led to the winners' room and told to stay there until the game was over. (In other words, whoever you chose is the true Jesus to you. This worldly contest put on by the forces of darkness represents the test to see who will follow antichrist, which is any other false Christ. “Anti” not only means “against”, it means “in the place of”.)  Then, contestant number three was led onto the stage and given his card. I noticed the contestant look at the questions first and then he looked up at each one of the three Jesus'. He had a look of distaste on his face and I could sense hesitation to even ask these men the three questions. (The mature who respect the Word have come to recognize the real Jesus.) The game show host told him he was holding up the show and needed to ask the questions, so he did. When he finished asking the questions, the game show host asked him to pick the real Jesus. The old man sat there a minute, then he pointed to Jesus number one and said, “You can't be the real Jesus because you are dressed in OFF-WHITE and the real Jesus would not be dressed in off-white. Our Lord's garment is bright and shining”. (The real Jesus believes and acts on true holiness. He does not wink at sin.)   He then pointed to Jesus number two who was dressed in all black. The old man said, “You can't be the real Jesus because the REAL Jesus has no darkness in him”. (And neither does a real disciple who recognizes darkness when he sees it.) He then pointed to Jesus number three who was dressed in off-white and black. He said, “You can't be the real Jesus because your garments are spotted. The real Jesus is spotless and without blemish”. (Biblical discernment will save some from idolatry and destruction. The wise and mature recognize and are hating even the garment spotted by the flesh Jud.23.)  The old man then turned and faced the TV camera and began to tell the people who were watching by television not to be deceived by these false Christs. (“The righteous are as bold as a lion”.) The game show host ran over to the TV camera and tried to unplug it. When he got about a foot away, a bolt of lightning shot across the room and hit him and rolled him off the stage. Two men then came up and tried to take the old man off the stage. Again, lightning shot across the stage and hit those two men and threw them to the back of the room. The old man then focused on the audience; he told them to get out of the building quickly, lest any more of them get caught up in this evil deception. (Get out of the buildings of those who have an “anything goes” Jesus. The mature Christians will get the Word of this deception out, despite attempts by the Harlot and Beast to stop them. God's power will see to it.)  The two men who had been hit by lightning ran over to the winners' room to get the two winners. They led them to a door that read “ONE WAY” in big black letters with a red arrow pointing down (to hell) and told them they had to go through that door to get their rewards. (There is one way for the righteous and the wicked. Those who deny Jesus for fleshly rewards will get the rewards of the flesh.) The winners opened the door (I noticed the winners opened the door and not those two men) and stepped into a large foyer. (No one can send you to hell for following antichrist but you.) They could hear laughter and music and were excited to claim their prizes. All of a sudden, the laughter and music stopped and the lights were turned off. The room filled with a sulfur-like stench and they had trouble trying to breathe the air. They tried to run back to the door to get out, but the door had disappeared; then, all of a sudden, the floor parted in the middle and they started falling down. Then I awoke from the dream. (Pro.14:12) There is a way which seemeth right unto a man; But the end thereof are the ways of death.  My thoughts: Unless we are filled with God's word and stay true to HIS word, we can be easily deceived and end up like contestants number one and two. We can be easily led away by false men and false doctrine. (Or have in our heart a false Jesus.) I know this for a fact, as it happened to me. I got caught up in the First Assembly of God and the “false revival movement” teaching there; then the Messianic Judaism false doctrine. I was so busy filling my days with idols that I didn't have enough of the Word in me to protect me from my enemies. Only by the grace of God was I led away from these things. This dream made me more determined than ever to study God's word and to pray for understanding, wisdom and knowledge and to pray for discernment.  I can't stress enough how important it is for us to get God's Word deep into our hearts. There's so much deception out there and we MUST prepare ourselves.

Psalm 37:4-5: “Seek your HAPPINESS in the LORD, and He will give you your heart's desire. Give yourself to the LORD; trust in Him, and He will help you.” The love that God has for YOU is unconditional, He will never stop loving YOU. You are of infinite worth and value to Him, because He loves you. Just think about it - the greatest, the most powerful, the most important Person ADORES YOU. He prizes YOU as His most valuable treasure. You hold such value in His sight that He sent His most precious Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to the earth to die in your place, to pay for your sins, all for the purpose of bringing you back to Him, so He could manifest His love to you, as He longs to do. Our wonderful Heavenly Father desires a very CLOSE relationship with all His children. He is calling and leading each one of us into a closer love relationship with Him, and He wants us to seek our happiness in Him, rather than in things. Psalm 27:8: “When You said: “SEEK My FACE (Presence)”: My heart said to You: “Your FACE (Presence) Lord, I will SEEK.” “My heart has heard You say: “Come and talk with Me.” And my heart responds: “Lord, I am coming” (NLT). To SEEK is to crave and search earnestly, until the object of your desire has been found. None of us is perfect, or ever will be in this life. But even though you may be struggling with some things in your flesh, or soulish realm, do not cut your self off from worshiping God. Do not deprive God of the very thing Jesus suffered & died to give Him - your love, worship and your intimate fellowship with Him (John 4:21,23-24). God is prodigal in His love for us. Prodigal means excessive, plenty too much, over the top. The Parable of the Prodigal Son, is not so much about the son, who was prodigal in his sinning, but it is mostly about the father, who was prodigal in his great love for his sinning son. This is a picture of God's love for us. Luke 15:20: “He arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.” God longs to fellowship with us. When David cried out to the Lord (Ps 27:7), the Lord replied by saying: “SEEK My FACE” (v8). Ps 27:8: “When You (Lord) said: “Seek My Face (in prayer, require My Presence as your greatest need],” my heart said to You: “Your Face (Presence), O Lord, I will seek.” God is the all-sufficient One, so He can never be lonely. From eternity, there has been perfect love, unity & fellowship between the Father, Son and Holy Spirit – the Triune Godhead. God has NO NEEDS, but He has VERY STRONG DESIRES, such as His desire for our love. He loved us so much, that He sent His only begotten Son to die for us, and redeem us from our sins, and purchase us for Himself, so we might belong to God forever as His children (John 3:16). Ephesians 2:4-7: “God, who is rich in mercy, for His GREAT LOVE wherewith He LOVED US, even when we were dead in sins, has quickened us together with Christ (by grace are you saved), and has raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. So that, in the Ages to come (for all eternity) He might show (demonstrate) the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.” God is a Giver, not a Withholder! Seeing how much He loves us should make us want to worship Him. Isn't it breath-taking that we have the ability to bless such a loving Creator, the All-Sufficient One. How amazing that our love and worship can minister to God and give Him great pleasure! God has given us free will, so LOVING God is our CHOICE. He will never force us to love Him. WORSHIPING GOD is a CHOICE. God has placed within each one of us the ability to love, bless & minister to Him in return. But He will never force you to love Him. By giving us free-will, He has made Himself vulnerable to us. We can choose to love Him in return, or turn our back on Him, and break His heart. Hosea 11:3,8: “It was I who taught Israel how to walk, leading him along by the hand. But he does not know or even care that it was I who took care of him... Oh, how can I give you up Israel? How can I let you go? My heart is torn within Me, and my compassion overflows.” Will you break His heart by withholding your love from Him? Our loving worship BLESSES God immensely. It brings Him tremendous pleasure. He DELIGHTS in our worship. It brings Him JOY. If you knew what God really wanted from you, would you do it? Will you give Him your love? God LONGS for intimacy with us, more than we will ever understand in this life. He DESIRES sweet communion with us, more than we desire intimacy with Him. It is so amazing that Almighty God makes Himself available to us every moment of every day! We must EXPECT that He is giving us His undivided attention, when we come to worship Him. Hebrews 13:5: “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Hebrews 13:5: “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

“And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.””‭‭Exodus‬ ‭33‬:‭14‬

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Wednesday morning, the 11th of September, 2024, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. I want to speak to you this morning about quiet time, spending time alone every morning with Jesus. We go to Exodus 33:14: “My Presence will go with you…” Isn't that a beautiful assurance? Then Hebrews 13:5, where the Lord says:”I will never leave you nor forsake you.”I want to ask you, are you having a regular quiet time every day? “No.” you say,” I'm too busy at the moment.” And how are things going with you? “No. They're not going well.” Exactly! We need to put Jesus Christ first every morning before we go to work. It doesn't matter how busy we are. They asked Martin Luther, the great revivalist, “What do you do when you get busier in the morning?” He said: ”I get up earlier and I have my quiet time.” We cannot go into the world without having our quiet time.F P Meyer was a wonderful man of God, a preacher and I picked up this reading that he had written. It goes like this: “We should never leave our prayer closets in the morning without having focussed our thoughts, deeply and intensely, on the fact of the actual presence of God there with us, encompassing us and filling the room as literally as it fills heaven itself. It may not lead to any distinct results at first, but as we make repeated efforts to realise the presence of God, it will become increasingly real to us, and as the habit grows upon us, when alone in a room, or when treading the lawn of some natural woodland, temple or when pacing the stony street, in the silence of night, or even amid the teeming crowds of daylight, we shall often find ourselves whispering the words, “You are near. You are here, oh Lord. Amen.”What a beautiful reading. Today, give Him the first fruits before you go out of your closet. Jesus bless you and goodbye.

The Lord recognizes how much we long to please Him and how grieved we feel when we mess up. He sees our ongoing struggle against sin and the wounded places in our souls that cause us to react in fear and self-protection. And while He's given us everything, in Christ and Scripture, to stand firm, whatever we face, He also understands how easily we become deceived.  SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts:Your Daily Prayer: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-prayer/Your Daily Bible Verse: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse/ Full Transcript Below: God's Unchanging Heart for His Profoundly Imperfect People By Jennifer Slattery The Lord is compassionate and gracious,   slow to anger, abounding in love (Psalm 103:8, NIV). Many of us have heard people talk about the Lord's complete forgiveness and unconditional love but can expect Him to withhold both when we mess up. Most often, this stems from times in which others responded to our mistakes with some degree of emotional distance. I can relate. I struggled, for decades, to fully receive God's grace, and sometimes still do. Perhaps that's one of the reasons I find today's verse so beautiful.  Written by David, ancient Israel's second king, Psalm 103:8 reiterates the way God revealed Himself to a man named Moses around four hundred years prior. This occurred shortly after the Lord's newly liberated people rebelled against Him to worship idols. Following, God told Moses that He wouldn't accompany him and the Hebrews into the new land He'd promised them. But then He appeared to relent and in Exodus 33:15 stated, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”  Perhaps confused, or simply wanting to experience more of the God with whom he'd already come to converse with as a friend (Ex. 33:11), Moses said, “Now show me your glory.” One could phrase this as, “Reveal the essence of who You are.” God did, declaring Himself compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness.  David likely knew how the Lord described Himself to Moses and how consistently He lived out those traits with the often faithless and rebellious Hebrew people. In today's verse, He praised God for those same qualities. While Scripture doesn't reveal David's circumstances when he wrote Psalm 103, we do know from other passages that He landed in numerous situations that plunged him into despair and overwhelming fear. We also know that God faithfully cared for, protected, and defended David throughout His life. And, the Lord showed David grace when he failed as a father, a king, and chief commander over the Israelite army.     In other words, David hadn't simply learned of the Lord's love, mercy and compassion from Scripture. He'd experienced those same traits when he'd desperately needed them. Likely reflecting on who God was and all He'd done, David began his prose with a praise that arose from his inmost being, the deepest and truest part of him. He then recounted numerous blessings God provided—forgiveness for even the worst of sins, emotional and physical healing, restoration of seemingly hopeless lives, provision, vitality, justice for the oppressed, and guidance for those who find themselves wandering about in desert places. In verse 4, we read that the God who “redeems [our] life from the pit” also “crowns [us] with love and compassion.” One might phrase this as, “He rescued us in our weakest and most helpless state and enveloped us in grace.” When the devil tries to bury me in toxic shame, I'm reminded that God's favor toward us stems from His goodness alone, and not from anything we have or haven't done.  Because while He is the Almighty Creator of all that exists and the One who holds all authority in His powerful hands, that wasn't how He most defined Himself to Moses, and therefore, to us. When we reflect upon who He is at His core, He doesn't want us to think of His anger. Instead, He wants us to recognize, intellectually and from personal experience, that He is first and foremost a God of unfathomable love and grace. Expanding on this, David then drew an analogy between the Lord and caring parents (Psalm 103:13). Our heavenly Father views us with more tenderness than an attentive mother with an over-tired two-year-old and a patient dad with an emotionally dysregulated middle schooler. Because, as verse 14 states, “he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust” (NIV). In other words, He remains cognizant of our humanity.  The Lord recognizes how much we long to please Him and how grieved we feel when we mess up. He sees our ongoing struggle against sin and the wounded places in our souls that cause us to react in fear and self-protection. And while He's given us everything, in Christ and Scripture, to stand firm, whatever we face, He also understands how easily we become deceived.  He has compassion for who we truly are, in all our weaknesses and sins, and responds to our greatest failures with mercy and forgiveness, rather than anger and condemnation. Living in that reality helps us rise again when we fall, with our gaze fixed not on our past nor our shame but on the Savior who proved every word of today's verse true when He died on the cross to quite literally redeem our lives from the pit of hell (verse 4).         Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Thank you. There always comes a time when we become overwhelmed in life. There are barely ever rest stops along the way. Every morning of a new day we get up and go. The "tale of bricks" must meet the quota demands many times without straw. I had felt overwhelmed for a few days. Then I read this chapter anew because God brought it to me. Moses reached a place where he could go no further. The children of Israel had just experienced God's anger and separation from them because they worshiped the golden calf. Yet God still kept His covenant with Abraham. He told Moses "Go up hence...thou and the people...And I will send 'an angel' before thee." Exodus 33:1-2. But Moses was not satisfied to have "an angel" to lead them. He spoke with God face to face and asked Him, "thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me." God replied, "My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest." When I read these words I felt my heart enlarge with the Presence of God. God went with Moses instead of "an angel" for the rest of his life. I knew our Father in heaven spoken to me. I had wept in prayer asking for only the rest He can give and this was His answer. His Presence is our rest. We see that if we speak to God "face to face" in prayer to go with us and no one else this will also be His reply, "My Presence will go with you and I will give you rest." Doesn't Jesus say that in Matthew 11:28, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest?" Then Come....and rest. "The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms." Genesis 33:27. “Bare heights of loneliness...a wilderness whose burning winds sweep over glowing sands, what are they to HIM?

"My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." Ex 33:14 NKJVWhen you sense God's presence and know He is with you, you can handle whatever life brings. Try to imagine the assignment Moses had-liberating two million people from the grip of slavery; leading them through a wilderness where they were exposed to enemies and elements such as extreme heat and cold; feeding them, clothing them, settling their disputes, and keeping them moving toward their destiny. Here is what Moses prayed: "If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us" (V. 15 NKJV). Moses preferred to go nowhere with God than anywhere without Him. When his affair with Bathsheba was exposed, David didn't pray,"Don't take my crown from me, or my kingdom, or my army." No, he knew what mattered most: "Do not take Your Holy Spirit from me" (Ps 51:11 NKJV). In order to grow spiritually, you must develop an increasing awareness of God's presence in your life. How do you do that? Instead of being a rock, become a sponge. When you place a rock in the ocean, its surface gets wet but its core remains hard and dry. But when you place a sponge in the ocean, the water alters the very essence of its being. Slow down and sense God's presence. Begin by reading this Scripture, writing it down, repeating it over and over, and opening every pore of your soul to God's presence: "The Lord your God is with you; his power gives you victory. The Lord will take delight in you, and in his love he will give you new life. He will sing and be joyful over you." (Zep 3:17 GNT).Support the Show.Changing Lives | Building Strong Family | Impacting Our Community For Jesus Christ!

In Joshua 3 and 4, God illustrates for us three essentials for moving ahead by faith and claiming all that He has for us: the Word of faith, the walk of faith, and the witness of faith. If we are to cross the Jordan's in our life, face the Jericho's, and defeat the giants, those obstacles and mountains that stand between us and the place of victory, we must learn to live by faith! In 2 Corinthians 5:7, the Apostle Paul said, “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” We cannot walk and live by our feelings because they change depending on the circumstances and situations around us. And usually our “sight”, our feelings will usually take us down the wrong path and cause us to make bad decisions and choices for ourselves.   First, in Joshua 3:1-13, we find that God has given us the Word of faith. In this paragraph, you find five different messages, all of them based on the Word of God, which is the "Word of faith" (Rom. 10:8). The people obeyed these messages by faith, and God took them over the river. Joshua received his orders from the Lord, and he obeyed them by faith. "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Rom. 10:17). After Joshua got his orders from the LORD, he gave them to the officers or leaders of the twelve tribes, who then in verses 1-4, gave them to the people.   Joshua was an early riser (Joshua 6:12; 7:16; 8:10), who spent the first hours of the day in communion with God (Joshua 1:8). In this, he was like Moses (Ex. 24:4; 34:4), David (Ps. 57:8; see 119:147), Hezekiah (2 Chron. 29:20), and our Lord Jesus Christ (Mark 1:35; see Isa. 50:4). It's impossible to live by faith and ignore the Word of God and prayer (Acts 6:4); for faith is nurtured by worship and the Word. The people God uses and blesses know how to discipline their bodies so that they can give themselves to the Lord in the early morning hours.   Joshua ordered the camp to move ten miles from The Acacia Grove to the Jordan; and no doubt the people in Jericho watched this march with great apprehension. It probably took Israel a day to make this journey; they rested another day; and on the third day, the officers gave them their orders: The people were to cross the river, following the Ark of the Covenant.   The Ark is mentioned sixteen times in chapters 3 and 4. It's called "the Ark of the Covenant" ten times, "the Ark of the Lord" three times, and simply "the Ark" three times. It was the "throne of God," the place where His glory rested in the tabernacle (Ex. 25:10-22) and God sat "enthroned between the cherubim" (Ps. 80:1). The Law of God was kept in the Ark, a reminder of God's covenant with Israel; and the blood of the sacrifices was sprinkled on the mercy seat on the annual Day of Atonement (Lev. 16:14-15).   The Ark going before the people was an encouragement to their faith, for it meant that their God was going before them and opening up the way. God had promised Moses, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest" (Ex. 33:14). When the nation had marched through the wilderness, the Ark had gone before them (:33); and Moses would say, "Rise up, O Lord! May Your enemies be scattered; may Your foes flee before You" (Num. 10:35). On that occasion, the presence of the Ark was a guarantee of the presence of the Lord.   Each of the tribes had an assigned place in the camp and an assigned order in the march when they broke up camp (Josh. 2). When the leaders of the tribes saw the priests bearing the Ark and moving toward the river, they were to prepare their people to follow. Since the people had not traveled this way before, they needed God to guide them. But they were not to get too close to the Ark, for this was a holy piece of furniture from the tabernacle; and it was not to be treated carelessly. God is our companion as we go through life, but we dare not treat Him like a "buddy."   Today, are you in the Word of faith and walking by faith and not by “sight”?   God bless!

For the past several days we have been laying the foundation and background for our study in the Book of Joshua. The Book of Joshua is the book of new beginnings for the people of God, and many believers today need a new beginning. After forty years of wandering in the wilderness, Israel claimed their inheritance and enjoyed the blessings of the land that God had prepared for them. That's the kind of life God wants us to experience today.   God gave Israel a new leader, Joshua. For us to enjoy and experience God's blessings in our life as a believer we must follow our new leader, Jesus Christ. God gave Israel a new land, Canaan, which is the “Promise Land”. As believers we have been given a new inheritance in Jesus Christ. Today we are going to talk about how God also gave Israel a new life. We have a new life in Jesus Christ. Paul put it this way in 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”   The events recorded in the Book of Joshua have to do with the life of God's people and not their death! The Book of Joshua records battles, defeats, sins, and failures—none of which will take place in heaven. This book illustrates how believers today can say good-bye to the old life and enter into their rich inheritance in Jesus Christ. I love how Peter put it in 2 Peter 1:2-4; “Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”   The Book of Joshua explains how we can meet our enemies and defeat them, and how to claim for ourselves all that we have in Jesus Christ. Paul wrote about this to the Church of Ephesus. “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ” (Ephesians1:3). What Paul's letter to the Ephesians explains doctrinally, the Book of Joshua illustrates practically. It shows us how to claim our riches in Christ.   But the Book of Joshua also shows us how to claim our rest in Christ. This is one of the major themes of the Book of Hebrews and is explained in chapters 3 and 4 of that epistle. In those chapters, we find four different "rests," all of which are related: God's Sabbath rest after creating the worlds (Heb. 4:4; Gen. 2:2); the salvation rest we have in Christ (Heb. 4:1, 3, 8-9; Matt. 11:28-30); the believer's eternal rest in heaven (Heb. 4:11); and the rest God gave Israel after their conquest of Canaan (Heb. 3:7-19).   God's promise to Moses was "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest" (Exodus 33:14). The Jews certainly had no rest in Egypt or during their wilderness wanderings, but in the Promised Land, God would give them rest. In his farewell message to the people, Moses said, "For as yet you have not come to the rest and the inheritance which the Lord your God is giving you" (Deuteronomy 12:9). This "Canaan rest" is a picture of the rest that Christian believers experience when they yield their all to Christ and claim their inheritance by faith.   Jesus taught us in Matthew 5:5, “Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth.”  To be meek means to be totally surrendered to the authority of Jesus Christ in our lives. That is why daily we present our bodies as a living sacrifice in our service to Christ which is only our reasonable service (Romans 12:1).   Yes, my friend, today would be a good day to quit striving and simply surrender and yield our lives to the power of the Holy Spirit!   God bless!

Exodus 33:12-16 Moses said to the Lord, “You have been telling me, ‘Lead these people,' but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, ‘I know you by name and you have found favor with me.' 13 If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.”14 The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” 15 Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. 16 How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?”

Can you feel Love moving through you? Nothing else is needed. If you just sat with this, feeling this fullness, being this fullness, your day will happen in this fullness, your destiny will unfold in this fullness, seemingly quicker. The things you've been waiting for begin tapping you on the shoulder like, 'where have you been? I've been here!' But you were lost in thought. You were lost in the illusion of lacking what's always Here. You couldn't see what was Here, but your 'I' is open now. Look, and you will find. I Love you, Nik nikki@curlynikki.com  ******God is afoot! I'm writing, and working on something BIG (and very useful) for your practice!

There you shall find your strength, your fullness of life, your work. This does not mean that you shall not also function on the side of the visible, but that first everything shall take place for you on that other, unseen, side. You actions shall be directed from this unseen side. Such beauties, such love, such utter sweetness shall then fill your days that you will feel transported to a heavenly glory even while performing the humblest tasks. This realm is only found by the practicing of My Presence, and day by day, it shall grow more and more accessible to you." -Eva Bell Werber, Quiet Talks with the Master "Listen and be still! If you could see and know the physical person of Christ Jesus, could go to those who are sick or in need of any kind; if you could see those Holy Hands upraised in healing, how firm would be your faith. But listen, that same Christ is within your consciousness; the Holy Spirit pervades all things. So can you not have the same faith, that when you speak to Him, He hears, just as He did when in the body of flesh? The body had nothing to do with it. It was only the instrument for the Divine flow of Life, even as you are the instrument. As you open your being to this sweet consciousness of the Abiding Christ, even so shall the greater works, long ago promised, be fulfilled through you." -Eva Bell Werber, Quiet Talks with the Master

Thank you! When Moses started out it was because God called him alone. Yet in his weakness and fear He allowed Aaron to go with him. He would be only a temporary arm to lean on until Moses was strong enough to speak for God on his own. Later Aaron derailed and created the golden calf and caused himself and all of the Israelites in the desert to "sin a great sin." After which Moses made atonement for him. Then was Moses alone. It was then God spoke to Moses "face to face as a man speaks to his friend." You see, Moses was used to having Aaron to lean on, but now God told him, "My Presence shall go with you." Then He said, "There is a place by Me where ye will stand upon a rock." Moses then saw God pass by him in all of His glory in the way of His goodness. He was put into the clift of the rock and God's hand covered him. There will come a time in your life that God will separate you from people, or a person. It will hurt and pain will be magnified in your heart. But it is only that God is calling you up higher. He will take the place of those you leaned on into a new stand on the Rock which is Christ. To that place of being hidden in the Rock Christ. A time comes in spiritual maturity that you will walk with God alone and then you will see Him like never before....the Companionship of His Presence and peace.

I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. 20 But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live.” 21 Then the Lord said, “There is a place near me where you may stand on a rock. 22 When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by. 23 Then I will remove my hand and you will see my back; but my face must not be seen.”

Derek shows how Israel's journey from Egypt into their Promised Land is a picture of our spiritual journey from the kingdom of darkness into the promised land of God's perfect will for our lives. God has given us an inheritance (promised land) both for this life and throughout eternity, which is hidden in Christ in God. Christ is our life, and as we trust, follow and obey Him, He will lead us into our promised land; that is, we will come into the experience and enjoyment of our inheritance in Christ (Colossians 3:1-4, Ephesians 2:4-10). To possess our inheritance we need to know that (1) God has ordained and defined its boundaries and has GIVEN it to us (legally) through the New Covenant in His Blood, and (2) God Himself is GIVING us (leading us into) our promised land (in our experience), as we walk in fellowship with Him and obey Him, so that as we walk in His footsteps, every place where where our feet tread, has not only been given to us legally in Christ, but also becomes ours experientially, because God is giving it to us, through His Power and Presence with us (Joshua 1:1-4). In this way, we POSSESS the land which the Lord our God is GIVING us to POSSESS (v11). Thus we cannot possess our inheritance without the Presence of God with us (v5), and therefore the key to possessing our promised land is to value the Presence of God in our lives above all things (Matthew 6:33). This vital principle is revealed through a study of Exodus 33, where Moses chooses God's Presence over the Promised Land: “If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here (to go into the Land)" (v15), and as a result God gave him the great promise of both: “My PRESENCE will go with you, and I will give you REST (in the Promised Land)” (v14). We see these principles with Israel, when Joshua (Yeshua) led them into their land. Now, the greater than Joshua, our Yeshua, is leading us into our inheritance. In Joshua 1:5-9, God gave Israel (and us) the Promise of His Presence going with them to lead them into their inheritance (v5), and then used a 4-fold poetic repetition, where He first told them what He expected of them, and then gave them the promise that they will be successful in possessing their land if they fulfil His 2 conditions (v6-9). Four times, He commanded them (1) to be STRONG in faith and through faith, in their heart, through continual meditation on His Word (v8), and (2) to be COURAGEOUS to observe to do (obey) all His commands (v7), and then (3) they will have good success in possessing their inheritance (v6), for the Lord their God will be with them wherever they go (v9). God summarised the same points, when He said through Isaiah: “If you are (1) willing (in your heart) and (2) obedient (in your life), you shall (3) eat the good of the land” (1:19).

Exodus 33v14 - And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”

What would happen if I gave God one year? Grow you Grow the church Here's where we're going Here's who we are Jeremiah 29:11-13 (NLT)  //  For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. 12 In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13 If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. I'll never get the best of what God has to offer until I give God my best. Country Club Christianity Together Exodus 33:1-3  //  Then the Lord said to Moses, “Leave this place, you and the people you brought up out of Egypt, and go up to the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your descendants.' 2 I will send an angel before you and drive out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. 3 Go up to the land flowing with milk and honey. But I will not go with you, because you are a stiff-necked people and I might destroy you on the way.” If God gave you everything you ever wanted, but He withheld Himself, would you take that deal? Exodus 33:4-18  //  4 When the people heard these distressing words, they began to mourn and no one put on any ornaments. 5 For the Lord had said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. If I were to go with you even for a moment, I might destroy you. Now take off your ornaments and I will decide what to do with you.'” 6 So the Israelites stripped off their ornaments at Mount Horeb. 7 Now Moses used to take a tent and pitch it outside the camp some distance away, calling it the “tent of meeting.” Anyone inquiring of the Lord would go to the tent of meeting outside the camp. 8 And whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the people rose and stood at the entrances to their tents, watching Moses until he entered the tent. 9 As Moses went into the tent, the pillar of cloud would come down and stay at the entrance, while the Lord spoke with Moses. 10 Whenever the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance to the tent, they all stood and worshiped, each at the entrance to their tent. 11 The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young aide Joshua son of Nun did not leave the tent. 12 Moses said to the Lord, “You have been telling me, ‘Lead these people,' but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, ‘I know you by name and you have found favor with me.' 13 If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.” 14 The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” 15 Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. 16 How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?” 17 And the Lord said to Moses, “I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name.” 18 Then Moses said, “Now show me your glory.” What does it look like to be marked by God's presence? 1. We're growing in our awareness of His nearness. Psalm 139:7-12  //  7 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? 8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. 9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, 10 even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. 11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” 12 even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day for darkness is as light to you. 2. We are growing in our hunger for God 3. We are transformed by His presence 2 Corinthians 3:16-18 (MSG)  //  Whenever, though, they turn to face God as Moses did, God removes the veil and there they are—face-to-face! They suddenly recognize that God is a living, personal presence, not a piece of chiseled stone. And when God is personally present, a living Spirit, that old, constricting legislation is recognized as obsolete. We're free of it! All of us! Nothing between us and God, our faces shining with the brightness of his face. And so we are transfigured much like the Messiah, our lives gradually becoming brighter and more beautiful as God enters our lives and we become like him. 4. We are people of power. Ephesians 3:12 (NLT)  //  Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come boldly and confidently into God's presence.

Walk in Heavenly Places by Faith (2)  (audio)  David Eells – 7/30/23  Calling All UBM   Vanessa Weeks 7/21/23 (David's notes in red)      I dreamed that Barry and I were at home and I was standing in the kitchen. A man's voice came on both of our cell phones, as if over a loudspeaker. It said, "Calling all UBM, Calling all UBM." I thought in the dream that this was a voice text from the leadership of UBM but the voice was not anyone I knew. Then I woke up. (Calling is a Biblical term, Kaleo, meaning an invitation to partake of the benefits of God's Kingdom. God is calling us all to walk in these benefits.)  I asked the Lord to show me what this call was about and went back to sleep and I saw a tall evergreen tree at the edge of a lake. This reminds me of Psa. 1:1-3 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers: 2 But his delight is in the law of Jehovah; And on his law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also doth not wither; And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.  (The water is the word, the gospel, the promises, the benefit. Let us partake to the fullest.) Later in the night, I heard "Luke 14." I did not remember what this chapter was about. Most of it is about the Lord calling people to the marriage feast.  (This feast of seven day/years the Bride and those invited will be feasting on the Word that is the life of Jesus, the body and blood of Christ.) Luke 14:1 And it came to pass, when he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him. 2 And behold, there was before him a certain man that had the dropsy. 3 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath, or not?  4 But they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go.  (It is not lawful to do man's works on the sabbath, only God's works. Jesus is Lord of the sabbath.  Those who follow and walk with Him are keeping the sabbath every day not just one.) 5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a well, and will not straightway draw him up on a sabbath day? 6 And they could not answer again unto these things. (Their legalism only suited them when it was put on someone else.) 7 And he spake a parable unto those that were bidden (invited), when he marked how they chose out the chief seats; saying unto them, 8 When thou art bidden of any man to a marriage feast, sit not down in the chief seat; lest haply a more honorable man than thou be bidden of him,  (They who humble themselves will be exalted.) 9 and he that bade thee and him shall come and say to thee, Give this man place; and then thou shalt begin with shame to take the lowest place. 10 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he that hath bidden thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have glory in the presence of all that sit at meat with thee. 11 For every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. (Like the preachers who claim for themselves exalted titles and positions.)  12 And he said to him also that had bidden him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsmen, nor rich neighbors; lest haply they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee.   13 But when thou makest a feast, bid the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: 14 and thou shalt be blessed; because they have not wherewith to recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed in the resurrection of the just.  (What we do should not be because of advantage but for glory from God who sees all.) 15 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. 16 But he said unto him, A certain man made a great supper; and he bade many:   17 and he sent forth his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden (Kaleo: Invited to partake of the benefits of the kingdom), Come; for all things are now ready. 18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a field, and I must needs go out and see it; I pray thee have me excused. 19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them; I pray thee have me excused. 20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. (The majority of God's people love the world and the things of the world more than the things of the Kingdom. The tribulation will wake them up to know their wasted time.) 21 And the servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor and maimed and blind and lame. (Those who were needy of the benefits of the Kingdom replaced those who were full of the world. Jas 2:5  Hearken, my beloved brethren; did not God choose them that are poor as to the world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to them that love him? 1Jn 2:15-16  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 vainglory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.)  22 And the servant said, Lord, what thou didst command is done, and yet there is room. 23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and constrain them to come in, that my house may be filled. 24 For I say unto you, that none of those men that were bidden shall taste of my supper. (Those who turn up their nose to the Kingdom for the lusts of the flesh will miss out.) 25 Now there went with him great multitudes: and he turned, and said unto them, 26 If any man cometh unto me, and hateth not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. (Meaning to hate their fleshly soulish life enough to follow Jesus to life eternal.) 27 Whosoever doth not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. 28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doth not first sit down and count the cost, whether he have wherewith to complete it?  (The cost is to give up the old life.) 29 Lest haply, when he hath laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, all that behold begin to mock him, 30 saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. 31 Or what king, as he goeth to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? 32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and asketh conditions of peace. (In the parable of the sower 3 of 4 did not bear fruit because we must give up the old life to have the new. 2Co 4:16 Wherefore we faint not; but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day. 33 So therefore whosoever he be of you that renounceth not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. 34 Salt therefore is good: but if even the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be seasoned? 35 It is fit neither for the land nor for the dunghill: men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.  (Rev 3:15-17 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.  16  So because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth.  17  Because thou sayest, I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art the wretched one and miserable and poor and blind and naked.) Father, Let us answer your call and come in Jesus' name amen.      Childlike Faith  Anonymous 4/24/23   Our young son was purposely free falling and jumping backwards without any fear, or doubt and unbelief. He doesn't even know where he will fall and what he will land on, he has no worry but just trusts God that he will be fine. He was also doing forward jumps and falls, and he had much joy and enjoyed it very much. I love that childlike faith that he can jump or fall without any worry and without any complaint, and I love how he has no fear or doubt.  I love that I can pick him up whenever I want, no matter what he is doing, and he doesn't complain about me interrupting his plans or activity but is calm and content. Whereas when God interrupts my plans for His, or when things don't go the way I planned, I battle complaining and battle my own will. But I hope and desire to have that same childlike faith that God knows best, and His way is best always, and I should be content no matter what situation God puts me in and be without complaint.  I love how our son doesn't worry about what he will eat and what he will wear and he doesn't worry about the past or future, but lives in the moment and he appreciates all the little, tiny things as well as the big, and he is grateful.  I love how he wakes up with extreme joy and energy in spirit and the physical, and he doesn't complain or worry about the day, but he always starts it with much joy. I love how he doesn't hold onto anything negative even when he doesn't get his own way. He is quick to let go of it and he doesn't hold a grudge or unforgiveness. I need all these things and I need God's grace to allow it to manifest. But I love so much his child like faith, and I want it.  Mat 18:2-5 And he called to him a little child, and set it in their midst, 3 and said, Amen I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as the little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of the heavens. 4 Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens. 5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me:  Father, Holy Sovereign God, please give us all grace and faith to believe and to manifest childlike faith in ALL things. Allow us and let our will be to truly appreciate You for all things and to not want what you haven't given us. Allow us to not worry about what we will eat or what we will wear or anything else. Allow us to praise You and thank You with our spirit, soul and body every second, no matter what circumstance we are in. Let us be always grateful and let us live for each moment and allow us to let go of all the past and not worry about the future but to stand strong in Your Word and Promises and Spirit. Allow us to trust You with all of our existence and allow us to fall back into Your arms having no doubt, fear or worry and allow us to always rest in You and Your Word every moment. Thank You Father for Blessing us all with childlike faith! All Glory to You forever and ever, thank You Lord that everything will worship you now and for eternity! AMEN.      Cardboard Skateboard  Andrew Slojewski 9/12/22 (David's notes in red)  I dreamed about a house I had in a small town called Plantagenet. (Webster:  of or relating to a royal house ruling England from 1154 to 1485.  A nickname of the family adopted as surname. Possibly just pointing to a house of royalty in this dream.) There were three rooms, empty of furniture, on the first level. It had a living room, a passageway into the dining room and a small landing two stairs up. Then down into the kitchen and a doorway back into the living room; three rooms in a circle.  David Eells was there and two other grown-ups and perhaps Michael Hare. We were all watching David make a cardboard skateboard. He even stuck on two cardboard rectangles for wheels, without glue or anything. I was looking on and I thought, ‘that's not going to work', as one would be puzzled in a dream. (Pointing to the creation of an imagination of faith. In itself nothing is possible but when faith is added all things are possible.) David then got on the skateboard and went the width of the living room, through the length of the dining room and somehow, I didn't see this part, but he went up the two stairs onto the landing, and a white door closed behind him. There was a big enough gap under the door to see the cardboard go onward. (An imagination of faith that enabled him to go higher in the house of royalty. Here is an imagination that will do this. 2Co 3:18  But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.)  So, I went around to the living room and kitchen entrance, where I saw David come in on the board. I was looking really hard to see how this was working, bending low to see. He was showing some style, going back and forth around the living room.  (Being carried without the effort of the flesh being involved; an entering into the rest of faith; a sabbath of sorts.) So, I went to the other end of the living room where the others were. David then threw the cardboard skateboard to me and said, “Your turn.” I caught it and all that was left of it was the top, like a thin, brown piece of card paper, shaped like a skateboard. I took it and put it in the place where David started, got on it and went the same way David did, the width of living room, and the length of dining room. (Representing imagination and faith will bring the spiritual life and nourishment for the spiritual man.) The weird thing is where I didn't see David skate on the landing and in the kitchen, I was somehow moved or transported, and then found myself in the living room, where I saw David skate. I went the length of the room to a stop and said, “It works!” To my surprise all the grown-ups were gone, and a child about 12 years old said, “Of course it works.” I don't know if that was David as a child. (The Man-child/David's showing others how to use the imagination to create and go in child-like faith, trusting and believing Father, that it will work.)  Then I went to the dining room window to look outside and said, “Is it not supposed to be cold, after all its wintertime?” For I saw three children out there, two boys and a girl in summer shorts and shirts. (This means by imagination and faith we can live above the worldly elements. We must be sure to have only good imaginations.  The flood came because Mans imagination was only evil continually.  The faction are taken over by satan this way.)  The dream ended.      Keeping Your Focus On The Light   Anonymous 10/20/22 (David's notes in red)  I was in the shower speaking with the Lord and then the devil came along and gave me a thought comparing myself to another person. I have been casting down criticizing, judgmental, comparing thoughts a lot the past week.     I went and cast it down and then heard the Lord say, “Look not to the left or to the right”.  (I.e. Stay on and keep your eyes on the straight and narrow path of the Word. Jos 1:7-8 Only be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest have good success whithersoever thou goest.  8  This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate thereon day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.) Then I saw Jesus standing up ahead. He was wearing a glowing white light outfit and had His arms open. It felt as if He was waiting for me to continue walking (in this way) to get closer and closer to Him.   He was constantly watching me, not taking His eyes off of me. His presence was so patient, gentle, kind, understanding, loving, so peaceful and there really aren't enough words to describe His presence.   Behind Him was this giant bright light shining and the closer I got to Him, the brighter and bigger the light was. (Coming into the Sun/Son glory of God.)  Behind me was complete darkness and it kept lessening. It looked kind of like a tunnel of light with darkness all around and an opening of light up ahead with Jesus standing in front of it. The closer I got to Jesus, the more light and peace there was. (And this is the way it is.) I felt this meant about keeping our eyes completely focused on Jesus and our own walk/race to Him and not looking at other brethren to compare our walk with them. Not looking back to the darkness or looking around but only looking to Him. (2Co 3:18  But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit. Proverbs 4:25-27 Let thine eyes look right on, And let thine eyelids look straight before thee. 26 Make level the path of thy feet, And let all thy ways be established. 27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: Remove thy foot from evil.  2 Corinthians 10:12 For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with certain of them that commend themselves: but they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.  Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee; because he trusteth in thee.      Discerning Every Thought  Anonymous 10/18/22 (David's notes in red)  I was sitting on the couch and suddenly I got thoughts and feelings that were normal to the carnal man but contrary to God's Holy Spirit. I was wondering why it came so suddenly, and then I saw a fallen angel/demon standing next to me whispering in my ear. (It was giving me thoughts and trying to make me think it's my own thoughts.)   I felt the Lord was showing me that when we get thoughts or physical feelings that are not the fruit of the Spirit or the Word that it is just demons giving us thoughts and feelings. Knowing it is a demon speaking to us makes it easier to quickly recognize it and cast it down and to hate it. Just as I wrote this up, I remembered the verse: Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I also will forget thy children.  Rom 3:4 God forbid: yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy words, And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment.  2Co 10:4-5 (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds), 5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.      Hugging Jesus Vision  Anonymous 10/18/22 (David's notes in red) I had been battling rejection for a long time and I recently decided that I really want to come 100% out of agreement with it by God's grace and Spirit. The Lord has been helping me along more and more with it.  All of a sudden, I felt the Lord's presence strong and I knew it wasn't me but Jesus through me looking at my husband with compassion, mercy and love. I could see him manifesting rejection. Father said to me that I should go over and hug him as if he is Jesus. (I am rarely affectionate which the Lord showed me recently is because of a spirit of rejection that I had since in mother's womb, because my parents wanted to abort me.)  I felt the Lord only through me, and no demons in me putting up walls to not hug, which they usually do. I just felt Father's peace, joy, calm, gentle love. I (Jesus in me) went over to my husband and hugged him thinking of him as Jesus through his flesh hugging me back and Jesus in me. I felt God's presence really intense while in this long hug. Although it was as if I couldn't feel time, just Father's presence.  All of a sudden, I saw as third person, me hugging Jesus and the ground underneath us shattered and split apart like an earthquake. (Imagination can bring safety) It kept moving apart and the ground under us formed into this big deep dark hole so deep that I couldn't see the bottom of it. If I saw this in the natural I would have had fear and been terrified. Also battling fear of heights, however fear didn't even try and come on me, I just felt Father's peace which surpasses understanding and love and joy in hugging Jesus. Jesus and I hugging were just like floating in the air, not having moved even an inch even though the ground we were standing on had broken and split and we were above a hole.  Just as I am writing this these verses came to my mind- Psalm 62:1 My soul waiteth in silence for God only: From him cometh my salvation. 2 He only is my rock and my salvation: He is my high tower; I shall not be greatly moved.  Psalm 16:8 I have set Jehovah always before me: Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. 9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: My flesh also shall dwell in safety. 10 For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol; Neither wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see corruption. 11 Thou wilt show me the path of life: In thy presence is fulness of joy; In thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.  It was amazing seeing us in the exact position floating when everything else underneath was completely shaken and changed. I witnessed (in third person) the destruction that happened to the ground, but me hugging Jesus in the vision wasn't fazed by what was happening, not even taking my eyes off Jesus to look at what was going on. I just stayed hugging Jesus in His peace, trusting in Him knowing that He has me in His arms, and He will never let me go. I am not sure how long we were hugging but I just felt Father's presence intensely the whole time and when we stopped hugging, I could feel Father's presence on my husband also.  PRAISE GOD FOR CONTINUOUSLY MANIFESTING IN THE PHYSICAL COMPLETE DELIVERANCE FROM REJECTION AND ALL UNCLEAN THINGS! PRAISE YOU FATHER, ALL GLORY TO YOU!   Just as I am writing this my husband is dancing in praise to the Lord. Praise God!   2Co 5:16-17 Wherefore we henceforth know no man after the flesh: even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know him so no more. 17 Wherefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature: the old things are passed away; behold, they are become new. (We should believe this for ourselves and others.) Col 1:26-27 even the mystery which hath been hid for ages and generations: but now hath it been manifested to his saints, to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.  Phm 1:6  that the fellowship of thy faith may become effectual, in the knowledge of every good thing which is in you, unto Christ.     Exposure Of Hidden Dross  Anonymous 6/27/23 (David's notes in red)  Word from the Lord: “The recent trials and events coming upon you all are to expose hidden things that are in your heart. These trials are My mercy and Grace to bring darkness and lies into the light. Without these trials you wouldn't see what is hiding within you. When you see the evil that has been hiding, you can recognize it, but you have to come out of agreement with it.  The recent factions had hidden evils in their heart, and it was brought into the light and they chose their sin, their demon, rather than choosing My Spirit and the way of complete Holiness. My eternal Bride is glorious and is perfect just as My Son. If you are content with only having a distant friend relationship with Me then you will have that. There are many here with Me even now who are not as close to Me as they could have been or be, though they are as close to Me as they want to be.   To be closer to Me you need to let go of ALL subtle idols. What would you rather be doing than be in My Presence? Or what are you doing without My presence with you? If you aren't constantly communing with Me now, how will you commune with Me every moment for all eternity?   Choose wisely as your decisions now affect your eternity. Count these trials as joy and a Blessing that you are worthy to suffer for My Names sake that you will be Holy without spot or blemish and be able to stand in My Presence.   To My chosen I will keep destroying every idol you have that isn't Me, I Am jealous for you and I will do what it takes for you to choose me in everything. I will show you that there is no answer or satisfaction in anything other than Me. (I felt this meant He will do whatever it takes for us to let go of idols. This will hurt if our heart is with the idol, but ultimately it is for our own good.)  Rest in My Promises and they will manifest.   Submit to me and the devil will flee. Seek Me on My purpose in this trial and what I Am trying to teach you. Learning this lesson quickly helps the trial pass quicker but do so without doubt and complaint. I Am for you and not against you. Everything I do is to perfect you, but I can only do My work when you allow Me to.   Allow your eyes to be opened to see in which areas you are out of My will. Allow Me to help you get rid of all earthly mindset and carnal reasoning.   Remember I Am in control no matter what happens. Get deep into My presence, meditate and seek Me with all your mind, soul and spirit and you will see clearly in the light, the Truth of what is going on and why. In My presence you will discern the evil and good and see the things that are really in your heart. Give the sin to Me, I want to take it away from you, but I won't force it from you.   Look at those that fell away, you are a witness to what happens to those that won't give up their "hidden sins". The path they take is a dangerous one that only a few return back from.”  (I felt God is shaking everything that can be shaken inside of us, to bring secret things in us to light so we can come out of agreement with them and in exchange we will be closer to Him.)      Allow The Lord Control  Samuel Fire 4/24/23 (David's notes in red)  In prayer I heard:  “Only I can lift you up. Not self, not anything else. Learn and appreciate what I Am and what I have done for you. You are either with Me or against Me. (If you are against me, which is futile, will end in weeping and gnashing of teeth in outer darkness forever.)  I have supplied ALL your needs. Remember, My Son, The One and Only, He wants you in My Presence forever. He did ALL and nothing was left out. Go and learn what ‘receive' is. Find out the ways you can receive everything that I Am.  Stand in the Faith. Be vigilant and aggressive against the lies. You have been chosen. Finish the test strong, and believe the results outweigh the trials. Remember who you are to Me. I Am near and need you more than you acknowledge. Read. Pray. Praise. And keep focused.   There are so many people deep in need for Me. Be the light and example for them to follow. Stop reacting, and act accordingly as My Son. Be the image and character which is adored and sought after. Everything is against the Christ in you, yet you have not a measure to be compared to the victory already done.   Be mindful of the thoughts of freedom and eternity. Nothing can separate you from the family in Me. Be alert as the enemy is prowling to harm and take what I bless you with.” (I felt we need to consider everything as though the enemy is trying to sneak in, like a virus in a computer file.)  Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.  Joh 10:10 The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.      Dancing With The Lord  Marie Kelton 4/17/23 (David's notes in red)  During the meeting, I had an open vision. When I looked down at my legs, I saw that I had my old leg braces on. Then Jesus came and knelt down and loosened the straps and took my braces off. I then saw myself in a white dress dancing in a ballroom with the Lord, who was also wearing all white.  (The leg braces are an external man-made device that supports, stabilizes, compresses or simply protects the leg, helping one to stand and to walk. There is no longer a need for the leg braces because the Lord has healed her and He is her strength and stability; He causes her to walk in righteousness, and she walks uprightly in her heart in Truth by faith in His grace. Dancing with the Lord represents being close to Him, moving freely with Him, and following in His steps as He leads the Bride and they move together as One.)  Psa 15:2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, And speaketh truth in his heart;  Pro 2:7-8 He layeth up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to them that walk in integrity; 8 That he may guard the paths of justice, And preserve the way of his saints.  Rev 3:4-5 But thou hast a few names in Sardis that did not defile their garments: and they shall walk with me in white; for they are worthy. 5 He that overcometh shall thus be arrayed in white garments; and I will in no wise blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.  2Sa 6:14 And David danced before Jehovah with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.   Jer 31:13 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old together; for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.  Psa 30:11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;  Psa 149:1-3 Praise ye Jehovah. Sing unto Jehovah a new song, And his praise in the assembly of the saints. 2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. 3 Let them praise his name in the dance: Let them sing praises unto him with timbrel and harp.  Son 6:13 Return, return, O Shulammite; Return, return, that we may look upon thee. Why will ye look upon the Shulammite, As upon the dance of Mahanaim?      The Warmth Of His Love  Samuel Fire 5/19/23   I was in prayer and heard:  “Know that you are chosen and paid for, fought for, and very important to Me. The importance of declaring this over and over in every way possible makes the ground you hold, clean and new. It's after these things are continually worked on, that My love will be established and grow through who you are and the things and people around you.  Fire will burn. There is plenty to keep it going. Are you warm? How about the people around you? Spiritually this hunger and desire is filled but it takes the removal of the old flesh to accept and move with the sensation of a life set apart for a purpose. The flame is not all about the heat and burning. Look at the glow. It moves, it spreads. I Am in you and now you are exactly where I want you to be, and each aspect is for a good reason.  Be ye happy with Me. If there is an evil thing manifesting, it has taken a position more important to you than the love of My Son. If you want to be free of something, remove the things that cause the sin. The absence of evil allows goodness to grow. Substitute the reactions and ill feelings with the power and love of Christ. Just hold onto this truth, nothing can outlast or overwhelm Me.   Rom 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 Even as it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.  I saw a pot of water boiling. It made steam. I was shown the water will keep evaporating if the fire kept boiling the pot. It just needs to be boiling, so the fire had to remain and never get too low. Soon the water goes lower, and the fire was more than enough for the water to keep boiling and had a greater power to keep making steam. Eventually the water boiled off completely and the pot was getting so hot, it was changing color.  I was then told the water is the evil stuff that accumulated in life. The fire is now getting those things to come up and eventually leave as steam. The steam are the times things got too excessive but never remained. The fire is Me and the Word being applied, thinking and living the way of Christ. The pot is the vessel the life and timeline lived.  Mat 3:11-12 I indeed baptize you in water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire: 12 whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor; and he will gather his wheat into the garner, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.  These trials are nothing compared to those who have not used their faith or trust in Me. You will overcome and be glad. Hold and frame the picture of the end. See yourself and what you are clothed in and who you're next to and where you are. I am very pleased!”      Heaven Vision  Samuel Fire 3/25/23  In this vision, I had been filled with weightlessness and I rose up higher. I keep being lifted up, until I saw that I was above what I could describe as a floor of completely white clouds, which led to an area with golden gates as an entrance. I approached the gates, although I was hesitant to, as I was uncertain if I was welcome and worthy. The closer I came to the gates, I was filled with excitement and thrills, but in calm and peace, I wish I had better words to describe this. It kept getting more intense, but it never felt overwhelming or fake.  Then, I looked ahead into the depth of Heaven beyond the gates and there was an intense bright, white light which reached all around. While I looked, I heard amazing and beautiful singing. I felt such joy and bliss, and where I was, I was happy and delighted not wanting to return to the physical place anymore. It was the peak level of happiness I have not had before, and totally genuine.  I then was erupting with excitement and praise to our Father. As I did this, the very moment, I felt The Great Father of All, calling me but I didn't hear it as my name. He allowed me to come closer and enter through the entrance gates area towards Him. The golden gates were opened but I didn't realize they had opened up, I didn't see an action for them opening, they just were open.  This part I really want to describe as best I can. I would have been super pleased for all eternity being in that one spot. What I saw, looking in one spot at one part of the walls was a crystal rainbow but clear and golden glowing light, which looked so beautiful. I was content and delighted if I were to stare at this forever. Then to move my eyes, even to move my head to look around, I was then filled more and more with delight and joy. I was so filled up with amazing emotions beyond anything I could say I have experienced in the physical. Then, obeying the call of the Father and my attempt to move, I made the action to take a step closer, I was beyond ecstasy again, but in a clean and pure form. Each step I took, I was giving a massive thank You God Almighty Father and was so joyful!  I then saw all the Saints, beyond number of a packed city, all excitedly running around and doing various tasks, all for our Father, in complete joy. There was a specific and special purpose for everyone, and everyone were all delighted to do anything possible for Father. I saw a little girl making what seemed to be a drawing on paper and folding it to a shape I don't recognize and then excitedly running off toward the Father to gift it to Him. I saw another, an older male, working on a very intricate device what seemed electronic but had so many moving parts and things, and he kept wanting to add more and more to the design so it could please the Father. Each person was doing something to please the Father.   I then saw millions in a group, all praying and praising in song and dance. I looked to another area and saw another million were on their knees and lying flat in prayer and worship. I didn't see much more than this as I was drawn closer.  I then had what I think was an Angel next to me which I didn't see before. Very tall, like 15feet or so, translucent but super tough and strong looking. I couldn't look up at the face and I heard a male voice spoke softly. I was instructed to go back to the physical, but I didn't want to go back. I just wanted to be closer to the Father, and to be there is all my desire.  I then learned that my physical time, is a one-time opportunity to be all and do all and manifest for Him and His Glory. That I need to do everything I can to honor and serve Him in this physical, for time is short and my opportunity to give all I can.  I was then brought out of the vision and felt that I really need to press into the Lord, and ask for prayer, and pray for anything for all. I was convicted to truly do my duty and seek His Kingdom. It was just as I was thinking this, I felt a wave of love and encouragement, as though He, our awesome Lord Jesus gave me a ‘nod' of approval.  My dearest Brothers and Sisters, truly I mean this; He delights in us and loves us, He is with us and wants us to try and believe always. Bless you!      At the Time Of The Lord  Samuel Fire – 2022    I was in prayer and desiring to know who will be alive at the coming of The Lord. I then was taken into a vision where I heard all these surnames of some Brethren in local and outreach UBM being called out.   After each name, I saw those who I knew of that surname in UBM, walk out in a group with others who I think were their children. I looked over and saw them standing in brilliant white glowing amazing clothing and the area was a big green grassy field with giant trees and a river flowing nearby.   More of the names read out and each of these families were walking around into this area, meeting up together. I heard so many names and of people I didn't really remember and some I only had heard of online or in conversation.   Then I felt God draw my attention, as though His Holy Hand gently turned my head from seeing this, and to focus my attention on Him. I felt He meant for me to look only to Him as the time is yet to come.       Endure In Your Faith To The End David Eells Have you ever received promises from God that you really desired but lost faith in because much time passed and there was much failure on your part to live up to your expectations and you think that is the reason that the promises won't be fulfilled?  We have received many times by faith at random - Psa 102:13 Thou wilt arise, and have mercy upon Zion; For it is time to have pity upon her, Yea, the set time is come. (We are on the verge of many promises being fulfilled at this time and also to people who have failed to live up to what they thought they should have been. In all of your failure continue to be Justified by Faith and also forgive your fellow man their failures and believe now so the promises can come to pass.)  We are entering a season of fulfillment! We also received these verses by faith at random about NOW is the time. Isa 33:10 Now will I arise, saith Jehovah; now will I lift up myself; now will I be exalted. Psa 12:5 Because of the oppression of the poor, because of the sighing of the needy, Now will I arise, saith Jehovah; I will set him in the safety he panteth for.  It is now that we have no time for double mindedness because of past failures or sin. Forget the failures and inability of the past with its condemnation, be justified by faith, repent and believe.  Here is a perfect example of a man receiving an important promise but then went through much unbelief and failure and self-works in his uncircumcised heart but when the time came God reminded him of the promise and brought it to pass through his renewed faith.  Rom 4:1-10 What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather, hath found according to the flesh? 2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not toward God. (Like many of us, Abraham's faith and works failed him for many years but when the set time was come it was impossible for him to bring it to pass by works of man. He and Sarah were too old and double minded. Jas 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he that doubteth is like the surge of the sea driven by the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord. It was then that God reminded him of the promise and renewed his faith.) 3 For what saith the scripture? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness. And then the promise was fulfilled.  4 Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but as of debt. (The answer can only come by Grace, which is unmerited and unearned by man's works. Pray for mercy and grace by which faith will come.) 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness. (Up to this point Abraham was ungodly in his works to bring to pass the promises. Only the works of faith are considered righteous.)  6 Even as David also pronounceth blessing upon the man, unto whom God reckoneth righteousness apart from works (of man), 7 saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, And whose sins are covered. 8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not reckon sin. (This grace through faith was given to a man who did not deserve it by his works.) 9 Is this blessing then pronounced upon the circumcision, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say, To Abraham his faith was reckoned for righteousness. 10 How then was it reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. (The promise was given when Abraham was sowing a seed of uncircumcised flesh. What can that get you? Ishmael. Abraham wanted God to accept him as the promised seed but God refused because his work was of the flesh of man.)  …17-25 (as it is written, A father of many nations have I made thee) before him whom he believed, even God, who giveth life to the dead, and calleth the things that are not, as though they were. (Abraham and Sarah were dead to any ability to bring forth the promised seed. We also are dead to any ability to bring forth the promised seed of Christ in you the hope of glory. Here is where we can receive the unmerited unearned favor of God. We cannot pick ourselves up by our bootstraps.)  18 Who in hope believed against hope (of man), to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, So shall thy seed be. (Within the year of the fulfillment of the promise Abraham began to believe God by His grace; while ignoring his inability.) 19 And without being weakened in faith he considered his own body now as good as dead (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb; 20 yet, looking unto the promise of God, he wavered not through unbelief, but waxed strong through faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was able also to perform.  22 Wherefore also it was reckoned unto him for righteousness. (Since it was impossible for them to do this, there was only one other choice, believe God and be counted as righteous so he could have the promise. Rom 3:3-4 For what if some were without faith? shall their want of faith make of none effect the faithfulness of God? 4 God forbid: (It was in this state of unfaithfulness to God's promise that Abraham and Sarah were to confess the promise and be justified in their words.) yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified (Accounted as righteous) in thy words, And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment. We prevail or overcome in Judgment when we confess the Lord's promises with our Words. When we are accounted righteous, we are entitled to Faith, which is the victory that overcomes the world.  Back to Rom 4:23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was reckoned unto him; 24 but for our sake also, unto whom it shall be reckoned, who believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, 25 who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification. When Jesus died, we died; when he was resurrected, we received resurrection life.  Have you failed? Ask for faith through grace and confess the promises! Confess in Greek is Homo-Logeo, meaning to “speak the same as”. I.e. Say what God says about you and others.  Heb 3:1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, even Jesus; 4:14 Having then a great high priest, who hath passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.  Jesus as our Hight Priest must have a sacrifice from us to give to the Father. Mat 10:32 Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my Father who is in heaven. Luk 12:8 And I say unto you, Every one who shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: When we confess in agreement with God's promises, the angels are given authority of Father and Son to fulfill our confession. Psa 103:20 Bless Jehovah, ye his angels, That are mighty in strength, that fulfil his word, Hearkening unto the voice of his word.  Heb 10:23 let us hold fast the confession of our hope that it waver not; for he is faithful that promised: 13:15 Through him then let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which make confession to his name.  Speak life into every situation. Pro 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue; And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.  (Mar.11:23) Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it. “Whosoever” shows that He wasn't only talking to His disciples and apostles at that time, but that He was talking to all disciples because disciples are the only ones who will take Him seriously and recognize this authority as a gift of faith.   Again, Jesus was not only speaking to the apostles and disciples back in His time, but to anyone, from them to us, who believes he can have this authority. Is this just a silly statement that no one will ever really take Him up on? No! There have been many people who have commanded their personal mountains and giants out of the way. Multitudes of people have exercised this authority over Satan, over the flesh, over their circumstances and over the curse.  God is faithful to stand by His Word, not because we deserve it, but due to His mercy and grace. He has said, According to your faith be it done unto you (Mat.9:29) and Go thy way; as thou hast believed, [so] be it done unto thee (Mat.8:13). “Whosoever” includes you and me and any other believer, so this authority has been put in our hands as sons of the last Adam, and not only given to those disciples in Jesus' day, as some say.  (Mar.16:14) And afterward he was manifested unto the eleven themselves as they sat at meat; and he upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them that had seen him after he was risen. (15) And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation. (16) He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieveth shall be condemned. Jesus is referring to the disciples of the disciples. “Disciples” (Greek: mathetes, meaning “learner and follower”) are learners and followers of the Lord. He is our Master, our Lord, our Example, and He is the One Who does the works through us.  (Mar.16:17) And these signs shall accompany them that believe: in my name shall they cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues; (18) they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wise hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Now we see that these signs will accompany those who simply believe and not only great apostles. That is authority! Jesus is giving authority to the people who believe these first disciples, or forefathers of Christianity, who wrote these pages to us. He has given us this authority to do good in the name of the Lord.  All principalities and powers have been put under Jesus (Matthew 28:18), even “his feet” and we are “his body” (Ephesians 1:20-23). We have this authority but it can be negative or positive. For example, when the Lord brought His people out of Egypt and into the wilderness, they continued to speak negatively and exercise their faith in a negative way. Faith is just what you believe. You can believe what God has spoken to you or you can believe the things which you see in the world, but Jesus said, According to your faith be it done unto you (Mat.9:29). Faith is both negative and positive. Even fear is faith; however, it's faith in the curse, or faith in reverse – I.e. having faith in adverse circumstances and in the devil. The absolute proof in the world is that what people believe happens to them.  Doctors say that approximately 90% and higher of sicknesses are psychosomatic (Greek: psuche, meaning “soul” and soma, meaning “body”). This implies “soul over body” and your soul is your mind, will and emotions. Therefore, your mind, will and emotions are making your body sick. The doctors are wrong in stating that 90% and higher of sicknesses are psychosomatic. That number is 100%. What makes people sick is what they believe. In fact, what you believe can kill you. As we saw in Matthew 18:18, you are the one who binds and who loose, and you are the one who creates your own future. You are the one who gives authority to the devil or gives authority unto God. Jesus needed authority but when He went to His hometown, he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief (Mat.13:58).  They had authority to say no to God and they did; they did not believe in Jesus and His Gospel. They believed in the sickness and the curse and they spoke it. We can believe in the blessings of God and speak the blessings or we can believe in the curse and speak the curse. We will have what we believe because that's the Word of God. (Num.14:28) Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord, surely as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you: (29) your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, that have murmured against me. They complained to the Lord that they were brought out into the wilderness to die and the Lord heard this too many times. The Lord basically gave them what they said. The Lord still does this today and the Bible declares that He does.  One of the fruits of a believer is that they believe in their heart and confess with their mouth (Romans 10:10). There are many people who profess to be believers, yet don't confess their benefits in Christ, so God says what you say is what you will receive. (Num.21:5) And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, and there is no water; and our soul loatheth this light bread. What is “against God”? It's when God has spoken these awesome promises and we think we know better and continue to agree with the curse.  For example, the 10 spies who spoke and agreed with the curse and brought the bad report led to the threats made by God to those who believed those spies. Joshua and Caleb were the only two who brought the good report, in agreement with God's promises. So, speaking against God can be more subtle than what people might think. When God says you're healed and you say you're not, then you will remain sick. When God says He's taken away your sins but you confess what you see and feel in the world, you are speaking against God.  (Num.21:6) And the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died. Once again, what they spoke is what they got. I believe the fiery serpents represent the curse. The cure for this was that God commanded Moses to make a “fiery serpent” out of brass and put it on a pole, and as people got their eyes on the serpent on the pole, they were healed (verse 8). As we know, the cure was Jesus Christ, since He was the One who was made sin and was crucified on a cross. So, we have a cure from the curse but we must confess God to receive this cure.  Those who profess Christianity but do not confess the benefits of the Kingdom, so that the curse, which was put upon Jesus, doesn't come on them. We cannot gain the promises in Scripture without faith in those promises. Or, in other words, what we profess must be mixed with faith. (Num.21:7) And the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, because we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray unto the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people. When people pray, God is merciful, especially if they believe their prayers. But do you have to continue to live under the curse? Is it necessary, when you can agree with God, to have the “fiery serpents” bite you? These serpents are the curse manifested in so many ways. The serpent is, obviously, also the devil, who is a vessel of dishonor that administers the curse on God's people, especially when they don't believe the benefits of God.  Jesus told us, According to your faith be it done unto you (Mat.9:29) and Go thy way; as thou hast believed, [so] be it done unto thee (Mat.8:13). You can speak things into coming to pass. If you speak life, you receive life; if you speak death, you receive death. It depends on what you have your faith in. If your faith is in agreement with God's benefits, then you receive those benefits. If you agree with what is in the world, then you don't receive God's benefits and have loosed the devil; you have loosed emissaries to continue to administer the curse on you. Many people are learning this and experiencing what I'm saying.  This is nothing new but is the same Gospel which is from the beginning. We have to have a renewed mind so that we understand what to believe and what we should speak. Faith can be both positive and negative. (Pro.18:20) A man's belly shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth; With the increase of his lips shall he be satisfied. Would you like your needs to be met because of what you say? We would like our lips to come into agreement with the Word of God and learn more and more to walk in His benefits by confessing Him before men.  (Pro.18:21) Death and life are in the power of the tongue; And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. I remember back in Louisiana, where I came from, there was a church which had a visiting minister who was preaching about death and how it was not to be feared. I know the church and its circumstances and have been there. The minister was actually going to show them how simple it was to die. He pulled up a chair, sat down and said it was as simple as going to sleep. Then he nodded his head for an example. He stayed like that for a while, until the pastor, whom I know, got nervous and went up and touched him on his shoulder, and then shook him. He was gone. He talked himself right off of this earth. What was God showing with this example?  There are some people who talk themselves right into the grave. Many people die before their time because their faith is to die; their faith is to be cursed and to receive the things that are around them. Their faith is not in what the Lord Jesus has given to them freely. Truly, “death and life are in the power of the tongue.” This is God's Word and nothing is being taken away or being added to it. We need to agree with God's benefits to have them and God will supply your every need to do His will, if you learn to agree with Him.  The tongue doesn't speak on its own. It gets its direction from your thoughts and the words that are in your mind. We need to watch our tongue so we can correct our mind. That's one reason the Lord is telling us to be careful with what we say because when we are careful, we are correcting our thoughts. He tells us to be quick to hear and slow to speak. That's why we have one tongue and two ears. (Mat.12:34) Ye offspring of vipers, how can ye, being evil speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. If we want to speak good things, we need to put good things in our hearts and reject the other things that are there.  I am sure that your mouth has spoken things that have slipped out, that you wish you hadn't said. It's an automatic thing with some people, but we need to slow down and give the Lord time to correct our thinking. Good people speak good things and bad people speak bad things. In some ways, we are both since we are both son of man and son of God, but we also have authority over that part of us which is still man. The Son of God in us has authority over that man. As the outer man decays, the inner man is renewed day by day (2 Corinthians 4:16).  That spiritual man is taking over as we walk by faith and believe more and more of the Word of God and, as we do, more and more of Jesus Himself is being manifested in us and He is taking more and more ground from the enemy. (Mat.12:35) The good man out of his good treasure bringeth forth good things: and the evil man out of his evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. Those who get this revelation about the tongue spend much time talking about the tongue, but we must really begin with the heart. We have to repent – change our mind – and believe what the Bible says. Changing your mind and repenting is renewing your mind with what the Word says and agreeing with what it says, but we must do it enough so that it overcomes our natural thinking. Our natural thinking is what kills us and all those whose tongues are connected to their natural man.  (Mat.12:36) And I say unto you, that every idle (Greek: argos, meaning “unfruitful, barren”) word that men shall speak, they shall give account of in the day of judgment. The Lord obviously wants His Word to bear fruit in us, but there are many words that are unfruitful and don't bear the fruit of Christ in us. Every idle word will bring judgment upon you. The day of judgment is not that day down the road, the corporate judgment, but it is the day of judgment that you come into. Your idle words, unfruitful or vain, will bring you into judgment.  Many people have spoken the curse upon themselves, like the Israelites did. They confessed continuously that they would die in the wilderness and it happened. (Mat.12:37) For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. The words that justify are those words spoken in agreement with God. They are words confessing Jesus before God and men, saying what He said and agreeing with what He has taught us in the Word and also by what He put in the disciples to teach us in the Word.  We are accounted righteous, or justified, if we agree with God. But if we don't agree, we fall under judgment, for “by thy words thou shalt be condemned.” If you disagree with God's Word, it's like calling Him a liar. God told the Israelites that He was going to bring them to the Promised Land and they basically claimed that God was a liar and that He brought them to the wilderness to die. They spoke it from their mouth and He finally said, “as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you.” There are a lot of people who don't make it through the wilderness – what we call the “world” today. (Hos.4:6) My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…. They agree with the curse and they receive the curse. It's what they believe; it is their faith.  See Jesus in the mirror, all that he is is yours. 2Co 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit. 

The Keli Yakar explains: We have found thatsometimes Hashem compares Israel to the stars and sometimes to the sand on the shore of the sea …. As in times of tranquility and success, He compares them to the stars. That is an expression of greatness, as Rashi explains in this weeks Perasha. And the comparison of the sand indicates the time when the nations rise up against Israel to destroy them, but they cannot [defeat] them. This is like the waves that go up as if they wanted to flood the whole world. But immediately when they reach the sand, they arebroken. So too are the nations. Rabbeynu Bachya takes a Midrashic approach, found in Devarim as a reference to the encampment of the Jewish people, and are similar to when G'd showed Avraham that all the zodiac signs in heaven surrounded the Shechinah. Similarly, the flag of the Jewish people, three tribes and their flag in each direction is perceived with the Shechinah in the center of the camp. Hashem had told Moses: “just as the zodiac signs surround Me and I am in the center, so your children will multiply and encamp according to their respective flags while My Presence will dwell in their midst. For me the most interesting comment is from the Shnai Luchot HaBrit where Rabbi Horowitz comments 'You are today as numerous as the stars in the sky,' he immediately added a blessing, i.e. 'May the Lord the G–d of your fathers increase your numbers a thousand fold, and bless you as He promised you.' This verse contains two blessings: Moses blessed G–d, Moses asking G–d to bless Israel.'

Spring is here, and our people are ready to GROW. There is a common fear that if your business isn't getting bigger, it's not getting better. At Highpoint, we believe the opposite. If we get better at everything we do, and if our team members are thriving in their environment, our growth and success will be great! How do you make sure your organization and employees are healthy? How do you get your hands dirty in your own garden to control the weeds? In this episode, Heather tells the story of how she approached each department to ensure we are excellent in every way. Heather became inspired about this concept at the Grow Leaders Conference at Church of the Highlands and eventually, it became our intention for 2023. To be intentional and steady, to value our rest as much as our efforts, and to take care of our health - physically, spiritually, mentally, and professionally. The law of Sabbath calls us to rest - as God rested on the Seventh day. It's just as important to labor as it is to cease, to enjoy fellowship with other believers, to reflect on our relationship with God and rest our bodies to prepare for new growth. Moses said to the Lord, “You have been telling me, ‘Lead these people,'  but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, ‘I know you by name and you have found favor with me.'  If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.” The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” - Exodus 33:12-14 Follow Heather Smyrl on LinkedIn⁠ Follow Highpoint Insurance Group today! ⁠Facebook⁠  |  ⁠Instagram⁠  |  ⁠LinkedIn⁠

Can you feel Love moving through you?Nothing else is needed. If you just sat with this, feeling this fullness,being this fullness, your day will happen in this fullness, your destiny will unfold in this fullness, seemingly quicker. The things you've been waiting for begin tapping you on the shoulder like, 'where have you been? I've been here!'But you were lost in thought. You were lost in the illusion of lacking what's already been Here.You couldn't see what was Here, but your 'I' is open now.Look, seek, and you will find. I Love you, Niknikki@curlynikki.com

Your mind leaps from problems to problems to problems, tangling your thoughts in anxious knots.  When you think like that, you leave Me out of your worldview and your mind becomes darkened. Though I yearn to help, I will not violate your freedom. I stand silently in the background of your mind, waiting for you to remember that I am with you. When you turn from your problems to My Presence, your load is immediately lighter.  Circumstances may not have changed, but we carry your burdens together. Your compulsion to "fix" everything gives way to a deep, satisfying connection with Me. Together we can handle whatever this day brings.    -Sarah Young, "Jesus Calling""Whatever action we are doing, we should be sure to keep the thought of God alive within. Whenever we sit or get up, we should prostrate in that place. It is good to cultivate the habit of considering our pen, books, clothes, vessels, and the tools of our job as imbued with divine presence and use them with care and respect. This will help keep the thought of God alive throughout our body, mind, and atmosphere."-Amma “A day of silence can be a pilgrimage in itself.”-HafizSupport the show

I can see your smile.   You can feel your smile. But behind closed eyes, there are no eyes. there is no smile,no face,  no body. There's just the ENERGY of that smile. There's only Love.The Love that you're either sharing, or expressing a need for in every seeming moment. And now you know where to get It from. You know that you are It. You don't have to seek It. You don't have to beg for It. You don't have to chase It. You don't have to earn It. No one can take It from you. No one can give It to you. No one can withhold It from you. You don't fall in Love. You are Love. You fell into your own Love. Into your own Silence, and you found God. You found your Halo. And I can feel It.  I Love you, Niknikki@curlynikki.comBonus episodes every week:▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmorningsGo(o)d Mornings merch:▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings_______________________Today's Quotes:"I can see your halo."-  Beyoncé"Sit, be still, and listen."-Ramana Maharshi"The highest form of Grace is Silence."-Ramana Maharshi "The silence is another way of saying to keep your mind stayed on God all the time... A sage is always in the silence. A sage may be talking, listening, partaking of activities, but to the sage there's only silence."-Robert Adams"As spiritual warriors, we must remember that each time we interact with another individual, we are either sharing our love or expressing our need for Love.

The more conscious you become, the more blissful you are."-Osho "Benchmark for spiritual growth: are you smiling more?"-Ravi Shankar "My beloved, you are indeed a part of Me. We are close as we walk the path together. You are My Image and Likeness. I serve through you. Your arms carry gifts of loveliness to all those whom you serve. I tread the streets by your side, and only on missions of kindliness shall your steps be turned. I smile through your lips in benediction as I meet Myself on Life's highway in the form of your fellow-man. low-man. I hear through your ears sounds from which have been sifted all malice and bitterness. The laughter which we hear is sweet and pure, and the words have only kindly purpose behind them. Through your eyes I look and see only beauty in all around you. The glory of the sunset hues is intensified, the violets are more blue; the roses more red. But better yet than this behind the human and transitory clay of those on whom your eyes fall, you see My face glowing. For you, all life takes on the glory of My Presence. For you who are completely  enveloped in Me only that which is lovely enters your vision. Twilight is gently falling; peace and quietness fill your heart. You rest content with Me and know that we are always talking and walking and being quiet together. Nothing can ever separate you from the Lover of your soul. We are one, inseparable you and your Beloved."-Eva Bell Werber. Voice of the Master (Kindle Locations 360-368). Kindle Edition. Support the show (https://cash.app/$NikWalton)
