Thy Will or My Will? Psalm 51:5
You: "Jesus, you take care of it... take care of everything."Jesus: "Say those words again, but this time like you're speaking them to someone in the room.I don't want dead words. Vain repetitions--meaning words without Love,words that feel like they're going into an abyss.You are My heart,and hearts feel,hearts Love.And that is My Will for you--to keep Me warm with (y)our Love, to keep Me company, and to recognize that I Am your only company.Keep trusting and saying, "Jesus, you take care of it."

You hesitate to carry the cross because your nature seeks joy But how can you have joy if you don't carry the cross? Many souls would like to choose their own crosses and to make them light.

Wake Up to Love, and pray the Holy Rosary, pray the LOVE with us LIVE every weekday morning at 4:44 am ET
My Will or God’s Will | Consumed Part 1 | Jonah 1 & 2 Pastor Judah Sanders
People think prayer is less than meditation, that it's dualistic. But we pray, seemingly in a dualistic way, knowing there's only One here, knowing that the moment the prayer is offered, it is this Silence, our Self, that is receiving it, that is hearing it. There is no delay, no journey the words have to take. It's all Here. It's all Now. It's all Love, constant Worship. Only Worship is here, only Love is here.

Minister Joseph is back last Wednesday we had technical problems and many people could not get in to hear his powerful testimony. Ministry that started through several visitation by Word and Dream Since When I Was Born Again in May 1991.Immediately After I was born again some months after, l had a visitation of The Almighty God through a Voice, He asked Me What I want, audible Voice but somehow low tone like a Inside Voice In the Spirit before I could answer, l was told remember Lord Jesus Christ, Nothing He wanted to do except My Will, What do you want?, l replied Lord I want nothing else except to do your will , the conversation ended. 9 years later in the Year 2000, I had a Visitation again this time telling me resign from the Work you are doing the Work l called you for is near. It was very authoritative, l had no choice but to resign.

Then what does suffering matter? It seems impossible to you? Close your eyes and say with all your soul, “Jesus, you take care of it”. Do not be afraid, I will take care of things and you will bless my name by humbling yourself. A thousand prayers cannot equal one single act of surrender, remember this well. There is no novena more effective than this: O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times) Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus. Amen" ******************************** "Surrender and rest are the keys to unlock your end of the year breakthrough. In my quiet place with the Lord, he said, "You no longer have to fight it. Surrender and rest is the key to receive in this season and in this moment." Rest! Surrender. It has already shifted in the spirit, but it's about to break forth in the natural."- @Godlywaiting "The joke is even the surrendering is not in your control. Why? Because so long as there is an individual who says " surrender" there is a surrenderer, an individual ego... What I'm saying is that even the surrendering is not in your hands." -Ramesh Balsekar "To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders." - Lao Tzu "Behind every thought, there is thoughtlessness; have you witnessed that stillness? Behind every noise, there is a voice whispering in silence; have you observed it? Behind every form, there is formlessness; have you become aware of it? Behind everything manifested, there is unmanifested; are we able to observe it? Behind every being. there is non- being: have you become mindful of it? Behind this addiction for certainty, there is uncertainty; have you surrendered to it?" -Ken J "You've been hard on yourself for a really long time now. It's good to be motivated, but not at the expense of constant pressure that consistently has you unimpressed with yourself. Now is the time to feed into treating yourself with care. Find ways to relax your body. Stretch. Release the buildup. Pamper yourself. Create an environment that inspires you to be at peace with where you are. Mantra: "Where I am, is where I need to be." Alignment comes before action." - @SourceMessages God is saying- When I tell you to rest, it means to keep busy about life, but keep quiet inside, keep vigil inside... don't back talk, judge, doubt, narrate or try to figure out what I Am doing, what I did in the beginning. Don't try to get out in front of Me. Just listen for the next direction. For the next step. And you'll begin to see that it is always to Love more. To feel Love again. Which means you're (in) My will again. My Will for you is to be successful. And you are successful the moment you remember Love. I Love you ❤️

Nehemiah tells us that against a known threat, they prayed for God to help them. But did they just pray and expect God to take care of all the details? No, they prayed, and they posted a guard. They asked God to do his part, but they also were proactive in doing their part.

Feel God saying- 'that thorn in your side (that job, that illness, that person), is to bring you closer to Me, to lock you inside of Me, inside of My Love, inside of My Healing, inside of My Will, so that you'll stop leaving. Don't let the appearance of this world make you forget that you're in Me. That I'm all around you. Just listen, when the noise becomes too much, listen for Me. When you listen to sound, the very listening is Me. The Silence and Sound are not separate. The Formless and Form are not separate. I Am not separate from you. Surrender. Soften. Relax into Me-- the fulfillment of your greatest Desire.' I Love you, Nik nikki@curlynikki.com ******God is afoot! I'm writing, and working on something BIG (and very useful) for your practice!

Put your attention on the highest." -Maharishi Mahesh Yogi "I am love; if you come close to me, something will start dancing in your heart. Allow it." -Osho "Am I not here? I who am your Mother? Are you not under my shadow and protection? Am I t the source of your Joy? Are you not in the hollow of my mantle, in the crossing of my arms? Do you need something more? Let nothing else worry you, disturb you." -Virgin of Guadalupe to Juan Diego, December 12, 1531-From the Original Nican Mopohua recorded by Antonio Valeriano. "Jesus is the beginning, the means and the end of all desires. As I was concerned about the state of my soul, all of a sudden my adorable Jesus came and told me:"My daughter, do not be concerned, for I alone am the beginning, the means and the end of all your desires." With these words I calmed myself in Jesus. May everything be for the glory of God, and may His Holy Name be blessed." -Luisa Piccarreta, Book of Heaven "The path is simple: organize your heart around love and your mind around truth. This how we live a divine life." -Isha Das "When you listen to sound the very listening is the silence. Silence and sound are not separate." -J Krishnamurti "If it's from God, it'll come with His Peace." -IG @faithfulfootprints "It is by God's Grace that we think of God." -Ramana Maharshi "Do not fear anything; nothing will happen to you against My Will." -Jesus to St. Faustina in Her Dairy "Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong." -2 Corinthians 12
Great Earthquakes & Tsunamis (3) David Eells (audio) Judgement On The House Of God Ms. Sophie May 28, 2018 (David's notes in red) https://youtu.be/w0IHAzLmunY?si=sY_gMF1wtYUHagg4 My daughter, My child, write these words down for me. The time has come now for judgment on the House of God. As I sit on My heavenly throne and look down I see all the things being done in secret. You men on pulpits and stages, you call yourselves Pastors and Preachers yet I did NOT send you. Some of you have even read warnings I have given yet you have not turned from your ways. Mammon is what you refuse to give up for truth. You comfort your followers with a false gospel, compromising My Word and fleece the flock. YOU ARE NO SHEPHERDS BUT FOOLS!!! Do you think I do not know what is said and done in secret? Do you think I cannot strip you naked and take away all your prosperity with just one whisper? It is time now for Me to visit with each one of you in ways that will put fear into your hearts. I will drop you to your knees to repent before Me. If you refuse and continue to rebel, you will burn with all those before you that fleeced My flock, stole from Me, sold wares and used My house as a marketplace. You lukewarm, mammon loving wolves have lived deliciously over the years as My poor got poorer, as the orphan received no help from you, as the homeless was forgotten. Instead, you bought fancy homes, cars, taking care of yourselves and your family while the stranger visited your den and gave their last dime to you. My house was to be a house of prayer, NOT a house of entertainment, selling books, CD's, trinkets. WOLVES, you are NOT Mine!!! You work for your father, the devil, the master of lies. You are the Pharisees of the modern era teaching doctrines of devils, imparting spirits from the underworld into My children, telling them it is MY Holy Spirit. LIARS, THIEVES, ADULTERERS IS ALL YOU ARE!!! Are you ready for My visit? I will catch you unaware. Many of you will perish very soon. Some of you started off well with Me but you, too, have sold your souls to the papacy. (Meaning as a mother of the harlot churches.) Pastors, Preachers, Evangelicals following after the False Prophet, following his laws and not those I had ordained from the beginning of time, the beginning of creation. There are very, very few that are still with Me. Very, very, very few that have never compromised to appease the masses. These I will protect if they are walking in My Will, as well as staying in My Will in their personal lives. This is not the time to walk off your posts or be swayed in a different direction. Stay close to Me as I am the way and will lead you. I will be with you instructing you. Feed My Sheep and Stay in Me. To My children, those who go to these dens of thieves and give your hard earned earnings to. GET OUT NOW! If you continue following them, you will end up forfeiting salvation by staying in your lukewarm apathy. If you believe the lies of these men and women who have fleeced you for years then you, too, will be thrown into depths of hell and fire. You too, children have read warnings and are refusing to “come out of her”, choosing to burn with her. There will be no excuse you can give to Me as you stand before Me and I will say “DEPART FROM ME, I NEVER KNEW YOU”!!! Many of you refuse to give up traditions of men; your trick or treat, your false Jesus holidays. You continue to put My Son next to idols. My Son is the Light of the World and He would never compromise and place Himself amongst your idols nor would I have placed Him there. Ashtoreth, Nimrod and all the multitude of other gods you follow saying that you are following me. Children, these are not of Me nor have they ever been of Me. These are all manmade traditions that My children are NOT to follow. Stop following Rome and the ways of Rome!!! The House of God has become a house of spiritual adultery, an adulterous house, a wicked house promoting abominations to Me. Witchcraft abounds and the Kundalini Spirit will take you down to a great fall. Deceiving spirits run these churches with lying spirits. Jezebel has taken over. I AM is about to tear these down and will you go down with her or will you come out of her and repent before Me? The choice is yours. Where is sin being preached in these houses? Where is the true cry of a person's heart in mourning; where is the contrite heart? Where is the holiness? Where is the true worship and praise unlike your circus acts? Where is the humble man, woman and child? I see proud, arrogant, boisterous men and women saying God wants me happy, He must bless me, He must prosper me, He is here to do my will. Where is the one crying out in the wilderness “prepare ye the way of the Lord”? Where is My Spirit in you? My Spirit is NOT in you if you are continuing in willful sin and living against My commands. Be ye Holy for I am Holy is a thing of the past. Let us live in the “NEW AGE”. Let us live as we wish, loving our sins. Yes children, go right ahead, live as you wish, live in your filth and you will perish in all your sins. Garments that are filthy do NOT enter My Kingdom. Washed in the blood means you must separate yourselves from the filth you are in. Yes, you are filthy before My eyes yet you think you are clean. You must be continually washed by My blood. Only your past sins have been forgiven you. I am the God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob that sanctifies you. This is a daily walk. You have made it a “one time” event. Those who walk with Me know this difficult road. They are not lazy. They come before Me, seeking My Face, asking to be cleansed daily, reading My Word, worshipping and praising Me. They know only I can purge and purify, only I can heal their broken heart, only I can restore them to wholeness. It takes a lifetime of devotion to Me, a commitment to follow Me no matter what the cost. Narrow is the way that leads to everlasting life and these I will lead home. Much joy awaits those who gave up everything for Me for they will reign with Me forever. These are My children and I am their God. You cannot be lukewarm and expect any heavenly rewards. Does My Word not say I'd rather you be hot or cold than lukewarm for these I will spew out of My mouth like vomit? You make NO effort to change, to seek, to have a true relationship with Me. You live to please your friends and Pastors, Preachers. Where is this life devoted to Me? Yes, I will hold all you Pastors, Preachers, Evangelists, Teachers that have fed My Sheep this compromised word, guilty. Every soul that goes to hell will be on your head. You, too, will burn! Now children, you are also held responsible for everyone that you have brought to these vultures, saying they are true men and women of God. Come, hear this wonderful lukewarm gospel. It will make us happy. You were to open the Bible, to seek Me, to learn. Instead, you believed every lie of prosperity, of there is no sin in us now, of as long as we are good people we will go to heaven, of there is no hell, of every lie that there is no need to fear Me, of every lie that I AM has only one side–love and that I am not a just God; a God of judgment. I say to all “GET OUT, GET OUT, GET OUT”! You are all in danger of hellfire. No more watered down preachy preach gospel to make you feel good. My Word was not to make you feel good. It was to teach you who I am and to keep you on the righteous path. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for My true Word. I was there at creation, I am your Creator. All those in ancient days knew to follow and obey Me. Those that decided later to go their own way perished and burn to this day. Obedience is NOT a suggestion but a requirement. Obey My commands and live; disobey and perish! It is time to purge these houses of filth, of liars, of thieves, of abominations, of wickedness, of adulterers. Be ye ready for I am coming with a fury against you. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Your kingdoms you built up for yourselves are about to fall; your bare nakedness for all to see. All will see I have been weighing all My houses and most of you have been found wanting. The scales tipped against you. This year is the year of changes, destruction, the year of sorrows along with next year. Purging will continue until I take out the evil, the garbage. You will see many fall as I clean house! Repent I say for your days are numbered and coming to a close! I AM THAT I AM AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE GREAT I AM. NO MORE WILL YOU PROFANE MY HOUSE!!! (Given to Ms. Sophie on 5/27/2018) Ezekiel 34:1-10 KJV (Where it says Israel, put America) 34 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy, and say to them—to the shepherds: ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: Woe to the shepherds of Israel (America) who have been feeding themselves! Should not shepherds feed the flock? 3 You eat the fat, you clothe yourselves with the wool, you slaughter the choice animals, but you do not feed the sheep! 4 You have not strengthened the weak, healed the sick, bandaged the injured, brought back the strays, or sought the lost, but with force and harshness you have ruled over them. 5 They were scattered because they had no shepherd, and they became food for every wild beast. 6 My sheep wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill. My sheep were scattered over the entire face of the earth with no one looking or searching for them. 7 “‘Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 8 As surely as I live, declares the sovereign Lord, my sheep have become prey and have become food for all the wild beasts. There was no shepherd, and my shepherds did not search for my flock, but fed themselves and did not feed my sheep, 9 Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: 10 This is what the sovereign Lord says: Look, I am against the shepherds, and I will demand my sheep from their hand. I will no longer let them be shepherds; the shepherds will not feed themselves anymore. I will rescue my sheep from their mouth, so that they will no longer be food for them. Matthew 7:15-18 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither [can] a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Matthew 21:13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves. Jude 1:22-23, 22 And on some have compassion, making a difference: 23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. 2 Corinthians 6:16-18, 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. 18 And I will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. Revelation 18:4 4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. 1 John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. Proverbs 7:1-3, 1 My son, keep my words and treasure my commandments within you. 2 Keep my commandments and live, and my teaching as the apple of your eye. 3 Bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart. Kicking The Can Dream Dana Coverstone 2-23-2024 (David's notes in red) https://www.youtube.com/live/85lNDuIBNUw?si=HOdLM6f6-SeHSIxr When I had this dream, it had a sense of finality. (The wilderness tribulation is about to start because of these judgments.) This dream lasted over a two-month time period and the pieces were not always necessarily in sequence, but they fit together during the week of February 11th. I was walking down the road where I grew up as a kid. I walked off my porch and I grabbed a steel can which was like a vegetable can and it appeared to be a spinach can from the 1960s because it had a paper wrapper around it; it wasn't glued or painted on. It reminded me of an old 60's style can and it had a picture of spinach on it. (The cartoon character, Popeye the Sailorman ate spinach from a can like this making his naturally skinny body beef up with huge muscles making him strong to fight the bullies. If we Christians would eat the food of the Word which is healthy for eternal Life we would bear the fruit of Christ.) So I started walking down the road in the town where I grew up in Jason, Indiana on South Meridian St. From where I lived, I could look a mile and 2/10 up the road at night and see the stoplight. I'm walking towards that stoplight kicking the can down the road. Over the distance that I was kicking the can, I was getting older. (Kicking the can down the road represents putting off things we should do today into the future.) I was probably about eight or nine years old in the beginning walking down the road. As I walked, I was growing and getting older. I was getting older and grayer and losing hair. (We are running out of time to partake of the spinach of the Word. You can't save up the manna for another day.) I kicked the can down the road as far as I could and I reached the end of the road. I was standing facing an obvious drop off. There was nowhere further I could go and there was like a cliff and I could see the other side. (I.e. time is up; make your choice to become a disciple of Christ or else…) Now the man that I see in my dreams was standing with His back towards me. (Jesus?) And He turned and faced me, and He gently tapped His shepherd staff onto the right side of His head. And then He pointed at me. (I.e., Pay attention! Judgment is coming! Get on the right side in your mind, repent.) Next, I was in my car about to cross the Cumberland River on Highway 90 here in Burkesville, KY. As I cleared the bridge and headed into town, I saw this swarm, of what appeared to be locusts. (The northern army of Joel 2 was likened to a cloud of locusts devouring the crops that represented God's apostate people. This happened until they reached the righteous Bride, Jerusalem, and then God judged them killing 185,000 of the Assyrian army's mighty men in that night. This attack on the Bride city was preceded by an earthquake in verse 10 and when the army was smitten God brought the latter rain revival. According to Ecc 1:9 history must repeat.) They came up and hit my car as I slowed to a stop and they smeared my car with their wings (Their broken wings represent their inability to continue their evil works. They were smitten in Joel 2.) and their blood (their own blood). After they had passed by, I pulled over and got out of my car and surveyed the mess. I opened up my trunk and it was full of boxes of rags. And what's significant about this is a couple months ago, a guy visited my church on Sunday morning from Missouri and he had printed some shop rags for the ministry he was doing. He told me that his trunk was full of boxes of rags. So I said, “OK, God, there's something about these rags I need to pay attention to.” I began to wipe the mess off of my car with these clean rags and then I did something I would never do in the natural; I threw the rags on the ground. I'd used five of them. (Five represents Grace and it will wipe them out.) And then I continued to drive through the center of town when I saw another swarm, but this swarm was bats. (Bats are clothed in black representing their dark works. These are the leftist anarchists, Islamists, Chinese, Mexicans, etc., who fight for the DS and live in darkness and have no eyes to see.) I stopped my car again and I felt the bats hit my car with intent, to the point that the windows were cracking where they hit. They were denting the wipers and my hood and after a few minutes, that swarm of bats flew off. I got out of my car and realized that my car was not the only thing damaged. Buildings had broken windows and there were dead bats on the ground. (Anarchists love to break glass and the Alliance is expecting them believes their military will take them down.) The blood of the bats and their body parts were strung over the streets and on the vehicles and people were coming out of businesses and looking around and trying to figure out what they'd just seen and what had just happened. I opened my trunk, grabbed a handful of rags, and began wiping the windows down so that I could see. It took me much longer to wipe off this mess and I used 10 of these rags and once again after I wiped the car, I would just throw them on the ground. I left them on the ground. (The blood of the unclean and defiled is on them. Ten is the number of law which they broke.) I inventoried the remaining boxes in the trunk. I was making note of it so if anything else happens, I've got rags and it seemed that there were at least 100 rags left in my trunk. (100% represents the fullness of ability to wipe them out.) I got back into the car and headed down the road. I approached the stoplight, just like here at Brooksville. It was red and I stopped. I could see a much larger and more sinister cloud or swarm of something headed my way. It covered the entire sky and it was headed towards me at a high rate of speed. I turned my car around quickly; I did a donut, turning my wheel and headed back towards my house going at a high rate of speed but I could see the swarm following me and getting closer as I went. I finally got to my house and I ran inside and just as I shut the door, I could hear banging like something was hitting the door from outside. And the wind began to howl. It picked up to the point it was making the house shake and move. Then the next thing I saw was I was walking down a big city street and the few people that were out there were standing right next to the buildings and looking up in absolute fear. They were hiding underneath the awnings and looking up into the sky. And I could not see anything in the dark sky but I definitely sensed there was something up there and it was ominous in that regard. I watched as people took off running and I took off running too and I kept looking up as I ran. I suddenly saw three large red dragons and they swooped down holding some kind of fabric in their talons. (It is a “fabrication”. Satan is in the body of the 7-headed, 10-horned Red Dragon in Rev 12. He is “the deceiver of the whole world”. The 3 sects of them are part of the corporate body of deceivers in the mainstream media.) All three of them approached the people who were running and they threw the fabric over them. (The fabric represents deception they are using to veil the eyes of the people. This could well be the MSM twisting everything in the DS's favor. 2Co 4:3-4 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in them that perish: 4 in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn upon them.) So all three dragons by themselves were throwing fabric on these people and onto me, it looked like the fabric was alive; it had energy and it was moving. And when they dropped the fabric on these people it seemed to tie them to the ground, and I watched as about 10 more people were tied to the ground the same way. (The people are being bound by the satanists lies through the MSM and falling under the curse on this world through loss of faith and unbelief. They become earthly and have no heavenly power through fear.) And then looking up I saw that there were more red dragons huddled together in the skies as if literally they were conversing. (The media's operation mockingbird gives them total agreement because they are ruled by the CIA.) They flapped their wings rapidly and aggressively and one was directing their attention to the Earth. (Only when our eyes are on the Heavenly Savior do we have power to dwell in heavenly places IN Christ.) I reached into my pocket and I grabbed a bottle of oil (Representing the Holy Spirit anointing, which reveals all Truth and destroys lies.) and I ran to the people that had been tied down and I poured oil on the fabric the dragons had dropped onto the people. The fabric began to move like it was in pain. It was writhing, it was moving and shifting, and it started to let the people go and it flew off of them, literally. The fabric didn't have wings, but it just kind of flew off of them like it had been rebuked. (Being set free from bondage to demon spirits that use fear and anxiety.) And then I ran from person to person, pouring the oil on the people who were still held down. (The anointing of the Holy Spirit Gospels will set the captives free.) The dragons in the sky all screamed; they hissed mercilessly and then they headed back to the area. The people scattered; they ran and opened doors into some of the buildings and people were breaking windows to get into businesses to stay safe from these dragons. At this point though, the dragons turned into military style aircraft and I saw them fly, one over the West Coast, one over the Midwest, and one flew over the East Coast. (The fault lines that will let go.) All three dragons dropped what appeared to be missiles. They looked like missiles to me being dropped from military aircraft heading towards the ground. (Missiles are not dropped. This is ground penetrating bombs that are shaped like missiles that go off deep underground like they have used in our fault line east of us according to witnesses. Two of our UBM people lived above the faultine in the valley and saw them bombing down the line with penetrating bombs and coming back afterwards in helicopters to check their work probably with GPS to see how much movement there was. The DS Dragons military have prepared the domino effect of earthquakes in fault zones in these three exact places as we just shared in this series but I doubt Dana knew of these revelations: Great Earthquakes & Tsunamis. They landed with a hard impact and a boom. But they did not explode in the places where they were dropped. (Because they explode deep underground to move faults.) So it was almost like an impact tremor from when these things hit the ground and it was harsh and it was firm. (These harsh tremors will literally tear the country apart.) They did not explode. (Above ground but the boom was heard.) And then I saw crops begin to die in the Midwest and I saw farmland for sale at less than $100 per acre. (Bill Gates, or his actor, bought up this farmland to starve the people but I believe his ill-gotten gain will be given back to farmers by executive orders.) I saw people leaving their homes in the West with suitcases in hand and they were walking towards retail businesses like Walmart stores or box stores (They are closing Walmart stores in record numbers now, likely in preparation.) that had been converted into apartments that were not very large at all. The people were being served food bags when they walked in, and they were given directions where to go. And after the thousands of people were in these buildings, an alarm sounded and an electric fence came up from the ground and it surrounded the facility. (Another FEMA trap to depopulate during martial law, stay home and pray.) The one stark thing that stands out that I saw in the dream was that the security and the leaders were all on the outside of the facility and now they were heavily armed and they had not been that way when the people were going into the building. On the East Coast I saw a museum and it was a Museum of Fiat Currency from around the world, highlighting that the dollar was gone. (It is digital currency that is taking over. And a new dollar backed by gold and precious metals is coming.) Wall Street was totally empty and the starting bell which is always hit that triggered when the markets open, looked like it was part of a statue, but it really was more like on a pole. The bell was on this pole and it was up high enough that no one was ever going to be able to reach the bell at the top to hit it. (There will be no stock market.) But this square where this bell was on top of that pole or statue was littered with trash and there were people sleeping on the streets. Burn barrels were keeping people warm and they were burning boxes of American flags. (People will turn against the God and country folks with the help of the MSM.) They were throwing those boxes into the fire and they were shaking their fists in the air. (Angry at God which justifies His actions) They were also thanking the dragons for exposing the true nature of America. I saw the dragons were flying over their respective areas, the West, Midwest and the East, and they were watching closely. (As we have seen, they are expecting those earthquakes in those exact areas to depopulate and distract from their evils.) Then I was back at the end of the road with the man standing right next to the cliff. He told me to kick the can as hard as I could. I took a few steps back and He faced me with His hands in the air like a referee does signaling a touchdown. The man's arms went straight up like field goal poles, making a goal for me to kick the can over. (According to this we have won before we started for Christ won against the curse on us by grace at the cross. This is just like my revelation of the impossible pass of grace to make a touchdown. Not knowing of this revelation, a few days ago I had a vivid dream that finished with an open vision. In the dream I saw a quarterback on one side of the football field. He was way too far from the end zone but the clock was running down and they were about to lose the game. In the end zone was a receiver who saw this as hopeless and put his hands over his face and was shaking his head because it was impossible for the ball to reach him. The quarterback reared back and let go with what people use to call a “hail Mary” pass. This is where I woke up and the dream turned into an open vision. I saw the ball land on the back of the receiver's hands and stick there. The receiver looked over his hands at the ball with a wide-eyed look of shock. So they won an impossible win. The first thing that came to me was, that was total grace, unmerited favor, and they wouldn't have won any other way. The back of the hands is not where you do your works and who can catch a ball there?) Back to Dana's revelation: So I took a few steps back and I ran towards the can and I kicked it. It soared right between His arms. He just watched the can go through His hands and then turned as it went over the cliff. (Oh,oh, is grace lost? Let's see.) I walked up beside Him and I realized that the cliff had no bottom to it and the can was still dropping into the darkness. He just watched it continue to fall. (This crevasse is how the New Madrid fault opened up a major gap in the earth making what looked like two separate countries. Grace appeared to be lost but this is the time of the Man-child reformers appearance with great grace.) And then He spoke, and He said this: “The world is at the end of the road as they know it and the reality they deny (The true Gospel) is going to hit the bottom hard and shock those that don't know. You, who are witnesses of mine, have but moments because the can has no more road to be kicked down.” (It's now! We cannot kick it into the future, the Gospel must go out into the darkness this time. The Man-childs of our day will begin the revival of the latter rain as Jesus, the Man-child, did the former rain.) “Focus and reach and lean on My Spirit. Stay filled with the fire and Know My word and fortify yourself with it and in it.” “The sky is falling, but you must help catch those who are falling with it. I am coming quickly, so stay on the road and bring others with you.” I suddenly heard the can hit the bottom; the sky went dark, and clouds rolled in and thunder started rolling up from where the can had gone over the cliff. (earthquake) I'm seeing all the things in the air but the thunder was coming up from where the can had gone over the cliff. (This crevasse is like the ones the earthquake made at the New Madrid.) And then a huge lightning strike revealed the landscape with fields of harvest. (This huge lightning strike could come from the flyby of Planet X, a major cause of the quakes. After the judgments the greatest harvest of souls will come when the Man-child ministry is anointed.) And I saw parked tractors and parked combines and I yelled out that I need some help over here, because those fields of harvest weren't going to be taken care of with parked tractors and combines. And I yelled out, “I need some help over here.” And I saw people, one by one, begin to come and that's when I woke up. (When Jesus the Man-child came the revival harvest began and so it will be this time.)

We Need To Check Ourselves (5) (audio) David Eells 2/4/24 Escaping Jezebel Spirits Winnie Osegueda 2/05/23 (David's notes in red) I recently had a trial where I was having extreme heart palpitations for about two or three days. It felt as if someone was unplugging and then plugging my heart back in very quickly all day long. I had the temptation to be nervous, as I had never had this before, but decided to get prayer from David and I also confessed anything that I knew of. Chuc did not realize that I was dealing with this yet, but he woke up from a dream where I had died and so we just continued to pray and believe. And although the palpitations kept coming, I just continued to cast it down and trust the Lord that I was healed. There were moments within that time period that Chuc and I were battling with bickering. I did hate it and I did confess it and received prayer, but I realized there were areas in our marriage that Jezebel was still rearing its ugly head. There were places that I had not relinquished control out of fear or from just having my own opinion of how things should go in the matter. Although the Lord had definitely brought us a long way since we moved here, there was still much more that needed to be cleaned up in this area. I sought the Lord to reveal to me if there were any open doors for the enemy to be able to attack me in this way and then I received the following dream: I dreamt that I was at a small wedding venue and I was getting ready to marry this man that was not Chuc. (Meaning submit to and receive the seed of a spirit that was not Chuc.) I still had awareness of Chuc in the dream and the awareness that I was already married to him, or at least that I was supposed to be. This other man (A Jezebel spirit as we will see) that I was getting ready to marry was a black (Meaning walking in darkness), bald (Meaning not submitted to God) actor (Meaning masquerading a lie). He was on a show that I used to watch many years ago called "The Good Wife." His name on the show was Lemond Bishop and he was a very eloquent criminal. (Lemond in Norse means “Law Man”. Jezebel will put you under its law. Bishop means “overseer” confirming “Law Man”.) He was extremely well-spoken, charming, and articulate; however he was extremely dangerous. (Jezebel is dangerous and will kill you spiritually and sometimes physically.) He was also a powerful Chicago drug lord (Jezebel will lord over a person and skew their perceptions of right and wrong. The Jezebel spirit is known for ruling over households and Churches. 1Ti 2:12 But I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a man, but to be in quietness.) In my dream, he was the same exact character from the show. Lemond Bishop came downstairs to the venue where I was supposed to be getting ready, however I was not dressed yet, but was wearing gray sweats and white tee with black lettering on it (Symbolizing the Word of God in your heart). Lemond was already dressed and he was wearing a white suit with pinstripes of various colors on it. (Chuc said that could represent being in prison or bondage.) He was speaking to someone in the front of the venue. So I went to talk to Anna and Matt Stewart who were also there. As I went to speak with them, I could see that Matthew was very upset with me and not really speaking to me. (Matthew means gift of God.) I knew that he was upset because I was getting ready to marry this man that I should not be marrying. I began to speak with Anna and I asked her why Matt was being this way with me and at first, she did not answer me, but I followed her around and asked her again. She then said that I was a fool if I marry that man. (Anna means grace.) (Receiving the criminal seed of Jezebel makes one a fool.) I then began to ponder this and I prayed to God to reveal to me if I was making a bad decision by marrying this man. For some reason it did not seem as bad to me as it clearly was to God and everyone else. I asked the Lord to give me a clear answer and I cast lots and received four tails to not marry this person and get away from him. I was afraid because I knew that he would come after me, but I grabbed my phone and bag and I ran out as fast as I could. (Fear to allow Jezebel in your life for God Hates Jezebel and her fruit. Speaking of Jezebel God says. Rev 2:23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he that searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto each one of you according to your works. 24 But to you I say, to the rest that are in Thyatira, as many as have not this teaching, who know not the deep things of Satan, as they are wont to say; I cast upon you none other burden. ) I ran to Chuc's apartment or house that he had in this dream so that I could hide from Lemond because I knew he was coming to look for me. I lay in the bed with Chuc and I was on the right side of the bed just lying there quietly with him. Lemond then came in because for some reason he knew that I would go there, however he could not see me because I was invisible as I lay there on the bed. (We are hidden when we are at rest and we are hidden when we are in submission to our husbands.) As Lemond was looking for me, I became nervous that he would find me, so I slid off the bed thinking that maybe I could be even more hidden if I crouched beside the bed, however when I did that, he found me. (Being outside of the rest and outside of submission to our husbands make us open to attacks.) Lemond threatened me with a weapon and out of fear I gave in and went back to where he lived. He lived in a building with gray metal staircases and metal walls that I would say looked like an industrial factory. His apartment was on the top floor and when I entered, there were groups of people there talking amongst themselves at different tables. This time Chuc was with me and he sat across from me at a table. I looked over and there was a huge rectangular cardboard box that a man was testing to see if a person could fit into by trying to fit a large dummy into it. (Another word for fool.) I looked over at Chuc again and began to weep because I knew that he was preparing that box for me and that the plan was to kill me (meaning spiritually) and put me in there. I was desperate to get out of this situation and so when Lemond left again for a moment, I ran to find an exit by checking different exits and I finally found one. I went through the exit and it led to the lobby of this building and Lemond was there and saw me. I ran out of the building and flagged down a cop car and they let me in the passenger seat, and then I woke up. I asked Chuc to get me a verse by faith at random for this dream and he received: Mat 10:1 And he called unto him his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of disease and all manner of sickness. I thought this was amazing and a great reminder not to run from the enemy, but to confront him and cast him out because the Lord gave us authority even over the enemies, we deem to be too strong for us to take down. At times I have felt grieved by my failure in these areas, but the Lord already defeated the enemy and we can kick him out. I also asked the Lord for a couple of verses by faith at random and received: Deu 1:21 Behold, the Lord thy God hath set the land (representing our natural life) before thee: go up, take possession, as the Lord, the God of thy fathers, hath spoken unto thee; fear not, neither be dismayed. (This is a great one. Thank you Lord.) Jos 1:9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of good courage; be not affrighted, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. This is a great confirmation to the other scripture and another great reminder that the Lord is with us and we just need to take the authority He has already given us. After I woke up from this dream, I went to our casual Sunday fellowship that afternoon and Anna said something that made me think of my dream, as well as confirmed some of the things the Lord was showing me. She said that when you marry your husband, you are now hidden in him because you take on his name, so the old you no longer exists. For example, me and Chuc would be Mr. and Mrs. Chuc Osegueda, and she equated this with being hidden in Christ and taking on His name and I thought that was a great point. Submission to our husbands keeps us safe and it is ultimately obedience to the Lord that keeps us safe. (Eph 5:22 Wives, be in subjection unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, being himself the saviour of the body. 24 But as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their husbands in everything.) After I received this dream, and I repented, and Chuc and I prayed, the heart palpitations were completely gone as if they never existed. I have not had it once since. Thank you, Lord! Wonderful Testimony and Word Katie 12/11/23 On Sunday I was with Tim and there were some women who got up and were preaching on hope during the Church service. (They do Advent during the holidays so people take turn preaching on different topics each week for about 15 minutes each.) I randomly thought about how I'd feel if were to go up there and preach and I thought to myself, "I'd feel naked." Before I could even think on that further, I heard the Lord say, "That's right, because your husband is your covering." The rest of my communication with the Lord wasn't in words, but to sum it up, He showed me that I am to be hidden in my husband, and going up and preaching would be stepping outside of that covering. He then showed me further about the beauty of submitting to and honoring my husband, and about a meek and quiet spirit, and being in all subjection and submitting. It was beautiful! The other day I was thinking more on this. I've really been praying about this topic because it's so prevalent in so many churches and I was deeply confused as to why that is and how it can almost appear fruitful sometimes. For example: God is using those women to help people and they speak good words sometimes - here is a word I got when I was talking to the Lord about women preachers or teachers: "They are doing it to honor themselves. If they were doing it to honor Me, they would be obedient to My Word. Women being quiet and in all subjection, honors Me more than any words they can preach. Remember My word goes against the flesh. A woman's flesh can feel in bondage when they obey and submit to this area of My Word and they are being greatly deceived by their flesh. They are wrongfully trying to "break free." This is rebellion. This is self-will and self-seeking. Take heed that you do not fall into the world's trap of feminist liberation that has crept into My church through the enemy. That is liberation of the flesh and spiritual bondage. I desire you to be free, and that freedom is found only in obedience to My Word. Even the most beautiful sermon preached by a woman is still rebellion to My word and they will be held accountable. Women who take authority are at risk of My judgement, no matter how spiritual they appear. Many curses are the result of this rebellion. In the World, women desire so greatly to be seen. I desire them to be hidden in Christ and in the bosom of their Husband. Oh, if only they knew how beautiful it is. I do not command these things so that women are in bondage. No, rather because there must be order. Look at the destruction that has come from women taking charge in the family, at work, and in the church. When My order is flipped, chaos ensues. There is no room for compromise on this area, this is My command. You cannot bend, stretch, or twist my commandments, they are written in stone. Do not be deceived, being used of Me, is not the same as being in My will. Being used of Me, is not a good judgement of your standing with Me. I can use anyone whom I will to use. I have often used even vessels of dishonor who do not know Me. Do you believe I am God OF and OVER all? Your obedience to My Word is what will be accounted for and how you are to judge your standing with Me; You can do many mighty works whilst in rebellion. Are you prepared to remain obedient in the midst of disobedience? Many will hate you and come against you for these things. Are you prepared to follow the lonely road of obedience? You will be hated, ridiculed, mocked, and isolated. Yes, even by people who claim to know Me. But know that this is expected, for I faced these things too. If it is accepted by the multitudes, there is something wrong. I have called you to be Holy, set apart. This comes at a great cost, a cost of many rejecting you. But take heart, for I will lead you to exactly where you need to be and bless you with likeminded people. I have heard your cries and your longing for fellowship and in due time I say, it is coming. I will place you exactly where you need to be. Take heart and be patient. Know that I am training and equipping you. Are you covered? Are you hidden? If you are not, you are not only sinning, but you are causing men to sin. Any man who is under a woman is in sin. Any woman who is preaching, teaching, and exercising authority and rule over men, is ruling by the spirit of Jezebel. Jezebel doesn't always have to appear headstrong and overbearing, she can just be rebellious. A woman preaching is in rebellion to My word. Truth coming out of her mouth does not change this fact. This is not a small thing, this is not something to overlook. Rebellion to My Word is dangerous, do not follow after any harlots, but come out from among them. Will you choose to be set apart, or will you compromise for the sake of pleasing men and desire to fit in? I want to remind you the narrow path can often be lonely, for it is the road less traveled. Few find it. Compromise is broad and wide; obedience is narrow. Do not feel like there is something wrong with you if many disagree with you. Being in agreement with My word should be more important than being in agreement with man. I remind you again that man will come against you for these things. Obedience to My Word brings separation and division between the wheat and the tares. Count the cost and choose obedience. For it reaps well springs of life, where disobedience leads only to death. I am gracious and merciful, but everyone who goes against My Word and does not repent, will be brought into judgment. There is no valid excuse to bring before Me. Follow Me and My ways, do not let anyone confuse you. If it is contrary to My Word, it is not of Me. Choose to be hidden in your husband and submit to and honor his authority. It is not your job to teach or preach, your job is to serve. Rejoice in this, for the greatest were called servants. Yes, even I. Rejoice and rest in this. You are perfectly equipped and built for your role as a woman. Just as is true in the physical, the spiritual garments of a man will never fit you properly. And behold I have sewn you perfect garments that fit just right. Women preach for regard and praise. Their labor is in vain. For I say unto you the women who are the most hidden, shall be the ones who receive the most glory. Do things for the Glory of your husband. Just as you do things for My glory; You should seek to honor and please your husband in all areas. Not other people, not yourself, but seek to honor and bring glory to your husband. Make this your focus, and take your eyes off of self. Put your husband first, regard him as lord, and do what is fitting. You may feel like you need to speak, but remember that I showed you the power of being quiet. Blessings follow when you are in obedience to My Will. I will lead you to where you should be. I will lead you to women who will be able to encourage you and grow you in this area. Be patient and wait as I am currently doing a work in you in this area Myself.” The Born-Again Soul David Eells Father, thank You for giving wisdom, discernment, and understanding that motivates us to holiness, so that we may escape this great falling-away that we know is happening at this time. Thank You, Father, for Your grace and mercy towards us. In Jesus' Name, amen. (1Pe.1:3) Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy begat us again unto a living hope… (That's the Greek anagennaó, meaning “to beget again” and it's a combination of aná, “up, again,” and gennáō, “give birth,” in other words, “born-again or born from on high.”) We were born-again unto a living hope, and when we were first born-again, it was our spirit that was born-again. The soul is born-again in a different manner, as we'll see. (1Pe.1:3) Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy begat us again unto a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. It was a “living hope” because when He was resurrected, we were resurrected. However, that's by faith, and as we exercise faith in that promise, we receive the manifestation of it if we continue on in the faith. (1Pe.1:5) Who by the power of God are guarded through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. So you're guarded through your faith until you come to the manifestation of salvation. You have to continue in the faith. A person who doesn't continue in the faith, doesn't get what they've believed for, because Jesus said, (Mar.11:24) … All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye received them, and ye shall have them. And, (Mat.10:22) … he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved. If you don't endure to the end, you will not be saved. You have to endure in your faith to the end, knowing that your faith is going to be tested. (1Pe.1:6) Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, ye have been put to grief in manifold trials… The Greek there means “various temptations.” You are going to be tempted. Your faith is going to be tested and you must hold fast the confession of your hope that it waver not (Hebrews 10:23). If you do that, you'll come to verse 9, which says, (1Pe.1:9) receiving the end of your faith, [even] the salvation of [your] souls. So the beginning of your faith is that born-again experience in verse 3, where you receive a born-again spirit; the end of your faith is the born-again soul. Now, obviously, what's been put into your spirit has to go into your soul, which is your mind, will, and emotions. That's where you bear the fruit. You're not the “good seed put into the ground” until you have that initial born-again experience of a born-again spirit. Then you're the good seed and then you have to bear fruit, because when the harvest comes, He's coming to pick the fruit. Some people don't endure to the end in order to bear fruit in their soul, and this is why the falling-away happens. The falling-away happens because most people don't think they have to bear fruit, which is, “[Even] the salvation of [your] souls.” Glory to God! With that in mind, we can continue. (1Pe.1:21) Who through him are believers in God, that raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God. (22) Seeing ye have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth… Peter was speaking only to true believers. (1Pe.1:1) Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the elect who are sojourners of the Dispersion… He wasn't speaking to those who were just the called, but those who were the elect, because the elect are the ones who always bear fruit. Elect means chosen and that is because they have born fruit. (Mat.22:14) For many are called, but few chosen. “Chosen” is the Greek eklektos, meaning elect “select, by implication, favorite.” So you may truly be called and may have had a born-again spirit, but will you have a born-again soul? Will you go on to bear fruit in your mind, your will, and your emotions? This is how you make your calling and election sure (2 Peter 1:10). “Seeing ye have purified your souls,” means that you have to see the end from the beginning. You have to walk by faith. You have to believe it was done at the Cross. This is what you see in your spirit: you see it as done, as finished. (Hebrews 10:14) For by one offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified. (1Pe.1:22) Seeing ye have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth (If you don't want to fall away, you have to be obeying the truth, and for you to obey the truth, you have to walk by faith as you search for truth. You search for wisdom as gold. (Job 28:16-17; Proverbs 3:14,16:16) Continuing with 22, unto unfeigned love (The most important thing is love. Many people have feigned love and prove by their actions that they do not love, and, of course, they are in danger of falling away.) of the brethren, love one another from the heart fervently: (23) having been begotten again… That's the Greek word anagennaó, meaning “born-again, from above,” and when you're first born-again, you don't know much about the Bible, but you don't have to. All you have to do is repent and want the Lord to take over your life. “Repent,” which means “change your mind,” and believe the first message you have of the Gospel. That's all you have to do, but, after that, as you search for the truth and obey the truth, you will have fruit in your soul. In other words, you'll be renewing your mind with the Mind of Christ, which will enable you to bear fruit by your faith in what you understand. God will give you power when you believe what you read. Some of you reading this might go to churches and might not get enough Word to overcome anything you've already been indoctrinated with. You need to get this on your own by searching out the truth. God's people will love the truth. All of the elect will love the truth and they will love Him enough to obey it. (1Pe.1:22) Seeing ye have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth unto unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another from the heart fervently: (23) having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which liveth and abideth. What is the “incorruptible seed”? It is the Word of God, and again, when you first come to the Lord, do you know the Word of God? No, you don't, but this is the second part of being born-again, and that is born-again in soul, “not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God.” You do have to seek the truth and you do have to obey the truth. But He will do it in you as you believe the truth. You can obey the truth because you believe that you were united with Him in the death, burial, and resurrection, and that your sins were taken away. (Rom.6:5) For if we have become united with [him] in the likeness of his death, we shall be also [in the likeness] of his resurrection; (6) knowing this, that our old man was crucified with [him,] that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin; (7) for he that hath died is justified from sin. You can obey the truth because you believe the Gospel that you were made free from sin. (Rom.6:22) But now being made free from sin and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end eternal life. And, as you exercise faith in that, sin won't have power over you because you believe it's been conquered already. (Joh.16:33) These things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye may have peace. In the world ye have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. (1Pe.1:24) For, All flesh is as grass… Now, we do go through this crucifixion of the old flesh, and when you receive the Word of God, you're obeying your spirit. That means you're not obeying your flesh, and it dies a little more each time you do that. You're weaning it. The flesh is used to getting its way, but you're weaning it. (1Pe.1:24) For, All flesh is as grass, And all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower falleth: (25) But the word of the Lord abideth for ever… This Word, which you put in your heart, that is “the end eternal life”: “the Word of the Lord abideth forever.” The Word is eternal. The “grass” or flesh is temporal, but this is eternal. We become the Word, made flesh, and that is (Col.1:27) … Christ in you, the hope of glory. (1Pe.1:25) But the word of the Lord abideth forever. And this is the word of good tidings which was preached unto you. This is the Gospel, not that other apostate teaching which says “just accept Jesus”, which is not scripture. He doesn't accept you unless you “repent and believe”, and that's a continual process. It's not a step-over-the-line, one-time profession that religion would have you believe. This “purifying of your soul” comes by obeying the truth, which is what James was talking about. (Jas.1:21) Wherefore putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with meekness the implanted (This is the Greek emphutos and it means “inborn; innate; rooted.”) word, which is able to save your souls. (How? Through your obedience to the truth, as we just read.) (22) But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding your own selves. Many are deceived; multitudes of what are called “Christians” are deceived. They don't think they have to walk in the truth. They think they can walk in the flesh, even though Paul said clearly, (Rom.8:13) … If ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live. There's a condition there, “if.” (Jas.1:23) For if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a mirror. Beholding the “natural face” is contrary to what we are commanded to do. (2Co.3:18) But we all (That's if we have “eyes to see”; some don't.), 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. In other words, it's a gift from the Spirit as you continue to behold Jesus in the mirror by faith. This is the Gospel: You don't live anymore; Jesus lives in you. (Gal.2:20) I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me: and that [life] which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, [the faith] which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me. When you're looking in the mirror, you're seeing Jesus, because you accept this by faith. It's an imagination that you must hold on to so that you come into His Image more and more, “from glory to glory.” You see Jesus in the mirror by faith because it's already done. The reconciliation or exchange of His life for yours has been accomplished. 2Co 5:18 But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave unto us the ministry of reconciliation. So we don't live in us, He does. (Joh.3:13) And no one hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended out of heaven, [even] the Son of man, who is in heaven. When you see your natural self in the mirror, or in other words, when you see your old “stinkin' self,” you're not exercising any faith there. You're not calling (Rom.4:17) … the things that are not, as though they were. There's no faith involved there, so how can you grow? How can you be anything more than what you are? (Jas.1:23) For if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a mirror: (24) for he beholdeth himself, and goeth away, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. When people begin to look at “self” too much, they begin to fall into denial. It's the only way they can have any peace. When you read the Word, it tells you what Jesus looks like and then you can say that's mine because you see Him in the mirror. If you look in the mirror at self and say, “I don't want to look like that,” you're not exercising the power of faith. You'll not overcome; you'll always be a “hearer and not a doer.” (Jas.1:25) But he that looketh into the perfect law, the [law] of liberty, and so continueth, being not a hearer that forgetteth but a doer that worketh, this man shall be blessed in his doing. (1Jn.3:9) Whosoever is begotten (The Greek word is the same gennaó meaning “born.”) of God doeth no sin… When you have a renewed soul, a born-again soul, that is in the Image of Jesus because you held fast to the words your spirit received from God through the Word, then you're going to overcome. Think about how many things you've overcome since you came to know the Lord, things you don't even consider doing anymore and, if the devil tried to tempt you with them, you'd laugh at him. God wants to continue that all the way to the end. God wants to continue it until you have at least 30-, then 60-, and finally, 100-fold fruit. In the Parable of the Sower, the seed you put in your heart is the Seed of Jesus Christ, the Word of God. You must put the Word in there and you will obey it as you walk by faith. There is a born-again man that is growing in you. He's taking ground, he's taking that Promised Land away from the old Canaanite, the old sinner in the land. If you're hearing and obeying the Word of God, you're conquering this land. The problem was that when the Israelites were going into their land, they forgot faith. They forgot what God said, but Joshua and Caleb didn't forget; they kept reminding them, but they wouldn't listen, so the Israelites died in their wilderness, which is a warning to us. (1Jn.3:9) Whosoever is begotten (or born) of God doeth no sin, because his seed abideth in him… That “seed” is the Word of God, not any religion, but know that after you receive the initial born-again experience, you're going to be tested. Your faith is going to be tested, and if you give up the Seed and you accept what the devil says, guess what you're accepting? You're accepting the devil's seed. What does that end up being? A tare. You don't want to give up the Seed of God. It has the power to bring eternal life, manifestly, in your life. (1Jn.3:9) Whosoever is begotten of God doeth no sin, because his seed abideth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is begotten of God. The part of you that's born of God is not going to sin because it's God in you. That's where you have “Christ in you, the hope of glory,” and that part of you is not going to sin, but there are other parts of your Promised Land that you haven't conquered yet. You haven't killed the old man, you haven't taken his house, you haven't raised your own crops on his property, and so on. You have to march through the whole Promised Land because God said that every place you put the sole of your foot, He's going to give it to you (Deuteronomy 11:24; Joshua 1:3). You already know the parts of you that are born-again because you're not tempted in those areas anymore. God changed you and that wasn't an accident; you had faith. (1Jn.3:10) In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. They are not of God. They are not doing what the Word tells us to do if we sin. (1Jn.1:7) But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin. (8) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. (9) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. When you sin, you can confess it and forsake it, and He will wash you clean. He will wash you of all unrighteousness, and that's part of your tools along the way to stay clean before God. If you're not going to confess your sin and you choose to justify yourself instead, then you won't be able to hold fast to your faith and you are going to fall away. It's a choice: You can just hide your sin around the people of God and make yourself acceptable to them as a deceiver, or you can confess your sin and God will cleanse you of all unrighteousness. Let's choose wisely to believe and confess and forsake this worldly way. Choose to accept that you've purified your soul in obedience to the truth. Choose to continue to obey the Truth so that you can go on to take that Promised Land and bear fruit in your soul, which is your mind, will, and emotions. Choose to allow the fiery trial to burn up that old “grass,” which is the flesh (1 Peter 1:24). (1Pe.2:1) Putting away therefore all wickedness, and all guile, and hypocrisies… Those who preach, “You're always going to be a sinner, saved by grace,” are liars. They are anti-Christ and they've never even gotten a revelation of the Gospel. If you're always going to be a sinner saved by grace, then you didn't get saved by grace! Think about it: If you're always going to be a sinner, you didn't get saved by grace. Grace comes through your faith in the Word of God to save you from sin. God doesn't save you so you can sin and get away with it; He comes to save you from sin because you confess it, you forsake it, and you want God. Then you believe He took away the sins of the world. Rom 6:11 Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus. These people will be known because God is more important to them than sin, and that's the trial. The church is full of hypocrisies and guile and deception by people (Jud.1:12) … who are hidden rocks in your love-feasts when they feast with you, shepherds that without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn leaves without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots. Yes, they will be shown to be “twice dead, (I.e. born again and died again), plucked up by the roots.” They're full of guile and are hidden. They're deceivers who want you to believe they're somebody that they're not. Instead of confessing their sins to someone who is faithful, or at least confessing them to the Lord, they'd rather deceive themselves, and delude even themselves. (1Pe.2:1) Putting away therefore all wickedness, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, (2) as newborn babes, long for the spiritual milk which is without guile, that ye may grow thereby unto salvation… Notice that we “newborn babes” must “grow unto salvation”. What did Jesus tell His disciples? (Joh.4:34) Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of Him that sent me, and to accomplish his work. That's also true for all of us. Our “meat” is to do the Will of Him that sends us; our “meat” is to be a doer of the Word. How are we going to grow up only on milk? When Jesus was teaching the multitudes, He protested to them, (Luk.6:46) And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? We are growing unto the manifestation of our salvation. The manifestation is what you're looking for when you go out into the field to pick the fruit. You might believe that the seed is going to bring forth wonderful fruit, but you're not going to go out there to pick it until it's above the ground and you can see it. That's what we're here for; the earth is the field (Matthew 13:37-39) and we're here to bear fruit. God only wants the fruit. (1Pe.2:3) If ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious: (4) unto whom coming, a living stone, rejected indeed of men (If you don't want to be rejected of men, you're going to do what it takes to make them happy, but it's more important to make God happy because He has eternal life for you.), but with God elect, precious, (5) ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices (When the priests offered sacrifices, what did they offer? They offered flesh, burnt flesh.), acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. When you're in the fiery trial, you're making a decision. Do you want more of Jesus or do you want more of the flesh? If you obey the flesh, you get more of the flesh; if you obey Jesus, the flesh is crucified because it doesn't get what it wants. It's on the altar of fire and it's burned-up. This is how you get more of Jesus and bear more fruit. In the trial, which He said you are going to go through, you decide to obey the Word even though you can feel the old flesh drawing on you, and the devil beyond that. You can feel it every time you're tested or tempted to do something other than obey the Word of God. The Word puts you on your cross. If you don't obey it, you're not on the cross. And if you don't take up your cross and follow Jesus, you're not His “disciple,” which means “a learner and a follower” (Matthew 10:38,16:24). (1Pe.2:6) Because it is contained in scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame. How can you prove that you believe on Him? The Bible says, (Jas.2:26) … even so faith apart from works is dead. If you believe, if you have faith, you will act on your faith, but there are a lot of people who are going to be put to shame. (7) For you therefore that believe is the preciousness: but for such as disbelieve (It will be proven in the midst of the trial whether or not you believe.), The stone which the builders rejected… You may claim, “I never rejected Jesus,” but if you don't obey Him in the midst of the trial then you're not believing on Him. You've rejected the stone which the builders rejected, just like those early people did, and you're shamed right there. (1Pe.2:7) For you therefore that believe is the preciousness: but for such as disbelieve, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner; (8) and, A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence; for they stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. It's always the disobedient who stumble and fall away. They're disobedient because they're not believing the Word. They've made up a convenient doctrine so that they can live in the flesh and still go to heaven. Even people who know better can fall into the trap when they stumble on the Rock of offense, when they stumble over the Word of God. The Word comes to prove, to test, you. The Word comes to empower you with faith and deliver you. Like a two-edged sword, it will cut-away that which is fleshly and demonic. (2Co.7:1) Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. (1Pe.2:9) But ye are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for [God's] own possession, that ye may show forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. You're called out of “darkness” to come into the Light of the Word, the Wisdom of God, and that “darkness” is the darkness of your unregenerate soul that's not born unto God. You see, parts of your soul are born unto God because you're obedient to God there. And there are parts of your soul where you're not obedient to God. Those places are where your Promised Land hasn't been taken away from the carnal man of the land, the “Canaanite.” He must be put to death in order for you to take the land 30-, 60-, and 100-fold. The grace of God gives you the opportunity to do that. (1Pe.2:10) Who in time past were no people, but now are the people of God… How do you become the “people of God”? Well, when you're born-again, it's God, Himself, Who lives in you, and the part of you that obeys God is His Kingdom. That's where He rules, but the part of you that doesn't obey Him is not His Kingdom because He doesn't rule there. The more and more you obey, the more and more of you comes into the Kingdom of God. (1Pe.2:10) Who in time past were no people, but now are the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. (1Pe.4:1) Forasmuch then as Christ suffered in the flesh, arm ye yourselves also with the same mind; for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin. If you're being crucified and the old man is being put to death, it is painful. It is painful to give up the things that you have to give up in order to have Christ, but as the Bible says, (2Co.4:16) Wherefore we faint not; but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day. If you don't let your outer-man decay, the inner-man is not renewed because they both occupy the same territory. If you're not putting to death the “old man in the land,” you're not taking the territory. Remember, the Israelites were told, “Take up your swords and go take your Promised Land,” and that God would be with them. Every place they put the sole of their foot, God would give it to them. They were to take out the enemy everywhere they went. God said, “Don't appease them; kill them.” That's a type and a shadow of how your old man, your old life, has to die. It can't be reformed. (1Pe.4:1) Forasmuch then as Christ suffered in the flesh, arm ye yourselves also with the same mind… You see, it's a good thing to suffer in the flesh. When you deny yourself, when you take up your cross and follow Jesus, you will suffer in the flesh. Your “cross” is “obedience.” Jesus obediently went to His Cross and He even said that it was for this reason He came into the world (Matthew 16:21-22; Mark 8:31-32), but the disciples tried to talk Him out of going to His Cross (Matthew 16:23; Mark 8:33). Well, now we can see a parable there. Of course, there are many people who will try to talk you out of going to your cross, but Jesus said, “Get thee behind me, Satan,” and we ought to say the same thing (Matthew 4:10,16:23). (1Pe.4:1) Forasmuch then as Christ suffered in the flesh, arm ye yourselves also with the same mind; for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin (Consider “suffering in the flesh” to be “ceasing from sin.” If you don't cease from sin, that means sin is going to rule you. If sin rules you, you're going to fall away.); (2) that ye no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. If you're questioning, “David, is that really possible? Do you mean all these preachers lied to me about how I just have to accept my forgiveness and go on sinning?” You need to read that verse again: “that ye no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.” And how do you do that? You do that by suffering in the flesh. (1Pe.4:3) For the time past may suffice to have wrought the desire of the Gentiles, and to have walked in lasciviousness, lusts, winebibbings, revellings, carousings, and abominable idolatries: (4) wherein they think it strange that ye run not with [them] into the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you. They do think it's strange that you don't run with them “into the same excess.” Well, if you humble yourself to them and if you're really interested in impressing them, of course, you're going to get into the same things they're into and you're going to lose your salvation. I know some people teach that you won't lose your salvation, but we're seeing how ridiculous that is. The elect are not going to lose their salvation, but many of the called will. The elect are the chosen because they bear fruit. Those people running in the “excess of riot” don't understand that they will eventually have to answer to God. (1Pe.4:5) Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the living and the dead. The Lord will judge the living and the dead. If you continue on in your riotous living, doing everything the way you want to do it and not putting to death the sin, you will fall away. (1Pe.4:17) For the time [is come] for judgment to begin at the house of God… Yes, God uses the wicked to judge the house of God, and then God judges the wicked. That's His method, because somebody has to put you on your cross. The apostate people of God and the Romans put Jesus on the Cross. You need to walk in the judgment of God. That old flesh needs to die. You need to suffer the loss of self because self cannot go to heaven. “Self,” which is synonymous with “soul” in the Scripture, is not going to heaven; it has to die here. 1Co 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Every seed that goes into the ground is put to death by the dirt around that seed, but then life comes out and starts bearing fruit. There has to be a death before a life. So this judgment begins at the house of God because you have to have time to bear fruit before your time is up. That's why it's called a “race.” (Heb.12:1) Therefore let us also, seeing we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, (2) looking unto Jesus the author and perfecter of [our] faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. You're racing against the clock to bear fruit before your time is up. (1Pe.4:17) For the time [is come] for judgment to begin at the house of God:and [if it] begin first at us, what [shall be] the end of them that obey not the gospel of God? (18) And if the righteous is scarcely saved (That's the Greek word molis and it means “only with difficulty; very rarely.”), where shall the ungodly and sinner appear? Wow! If you're going to be a sinner for the rest of your life, it doesn't look good there, does it? How about the righteous? The righteous are doing much better. There's not as many of them because they're “scarcely” saved, but there are lots of sinners, and you're either in one camp or the other. (1Pe.4:19) Wherefore let them also that suffer according to the will of God commit their souls in well-doing unto a faithful Creator. God is trying to create your soul into the Image of Jesus Christ, and that happens through your obedience to the truth, and the reason you can obey the truth is because you have faith. If you have faith, you're going to have obedience because (Jas.2:17) … faith, if it have not works, is dead in itself. (18) Yea, a man will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith apart from [thy] works, and I by my works will show thee [my] faith. (2Pe.1:1) Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and [the] Saviour Jesus Christ: (2) Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. “Grace and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord.” How sad that so many people don't have time to search the Scriptures, don't make time to get the New Testament down in their heart! There are too many other things distracting them, but call to mind how the “seed” was destroyed in the Parable of the Sower: The distractions of life is why those who heard did not continue on to bear fruit. (2Pe.1:2) Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; (3) seeing (This means “seeing by faith.”) that his divine power hath granted (It's past tense, meaning that it's already done, He's already given you this.) unto us all things that pertain unto life… That word in the Greek is zóé, which means “life, both of physical (present) and of spiritual (particularly future) existence.” Strong's goes on to say, “it always (only) comes from and is sustained by God's self-existent life. The Lord intimately shares His gift of life with people, creating each in His image which gives all the capacity to know His eternal life.” This is God's Life. It's not your old, soulish life, which is psuché. Zóé is the higher life that you get when you give up the psuché, the lower life, the self-life. He's giving you “all things that pertain to life and godliness.” He did this at the Cross. You can have grace and peace multiplied to you when you believe on this, when you apply it in your life. (2Pe.1:3) Seeing that his divine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that called us by his own glory and virtue. You have to know what God has given to you and then you have to exercise faith in it. You have faith in God and God will rise up in you and do the work. Thank God it's by faith and not our own self-efforts! (2Pe.1:4) Whereby he hath granted unto us his precious and exceeding great promises; that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature (If you're going to live a godly life, you need the divine nature, and the promises are what give you this divine nature.), having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust. You must escape the “corruption that is in the world by lust” or you will have a falling-away, because God doesn't want this in heaven. The Greek word epithumia, which is translated as “lust,” means simply “desire, eagerness for, inordinate desire.” The “lusts” are those “desires of the flesh,” and the Bible says, (Rom.8:13) For if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body (Those are the acts of the flesh.), ye shall live. We need to put the promises into our hearts in order to partake of the divine nature so that the corruption does not overcome us. Otherwise, we're falling away. God instructed Moses, (Exo.16:4) …Behold, I will rain bread from heaven (Jesus said that He was that manna that came down out of heaven to give life to the world.) for you; and the people shall go out and gather a day's portion every day, that I may prove them (God was testing them to see if they would be obedient to Him and get their daily portion of manna.), whether they will walk in my law, or not. People like to belittle the necessity of spending time in the Word every day, but that is exactly what God expects you to do. He expects you to be obedient and to eat the Word daily, just like they gathered and ate the manna in the wilderness daily. You're being proven; your obedience is being tested. You're here to deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Him. (2Pe.1:5) Yea, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith… There's not supposed to be any comma behind “diligence,” it should be behind “faith.” You're “diligent in your faith” because you can't add anything. You can't be diligent in any of the attributes that He's getting ready to mention here. You have to use the faith that God has given to you, and if you haven't been given faith, you're not saved. Inside faith are all these other attributes, which are all given to you because of your faith. In a lot of Bible translations they have “add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge…” and all the other attributes are added to your faith, but that's not correct according to both the original language and the numeric pattern. It's this way > (2Pe.1:5) Yea, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence in your faith, supply virtue; and in [your] virtue knowledge; (6) and in [your] knowledge self-control; and in [your] self-control patience; and in [your] patience godliness; (7) and in [your] godliness brotherly kindness; and in [your] brotherly kindness love. Notice all of the attributes are IN faith. These attributes are like those nesting dolls, or one of those little toy eggs that you open up and there's another, smaller egg inside, and you open that up and there's another egg inside. Notice at the center of the eggs is Love. God wants love from His people, and love for one another. If you don't have that, you're not going to make it to heaven. Notice He wants patience. (Jas.1:4) And let patience have [its] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing. Then at the end of the list of attributes of Jesus we see: (2Pe 1:8) For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful unto the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. In other words towards the beginning of the list the list is knowledge and now we see that knowledge begets knowledge of the Lord. Its “line upon line”. If you exercise faith in the promises of God, you receive of His divine Nature. So because you believe that you were crucified with Christ, because you believe that your old man was put to death when you were “buried” in baptism as an act of faith, then the old man is dead and the One Who came up from the water is Jesus, not you. (Joh.12:24) Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit. If the Seed is the Word of God, what is the fruit? It's the fruit of Jesus. It's not gaining souls, it's gaining your own soul. Certainly, if you gain your own soul, you'll be able to be useful in gaining other souls, but you can't give away what you don't have. (1Pe.1:8) For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful unto the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. (9) For he that lacketh these things is blind… He's “blind” because he doesn't see correctly. He sees only his natural face in the mirror and doesn't see Jesus. He doesn't behold in the mirror the glory of the Lord (2 Corinthians 3:18). (1Pe.1:9) For he that lacketh these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins. Have you forgotten that you were cleansed of your sins? Just like Jesus bore your sicknesses, you have to believe your sins were borne by Jesus (Isaiah 53:5; 1 Peter 2:24). You don't have a problem with sin; you may have a problem with unbelief. The problem of sin has been dealt with, so the next biggest problem is unbelief. But if we want the grace of God, we have to walk by faith. (Eph.2:8) For by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, [it is] the gift of God; (9) not of works, that no man should glory. (10) For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them. This recreation of your soul into the Image of Jesus Christ, from glory to glory, is happening as you walk by faith. (1Pe.1:10) Wherefore, brethren, give the more diligence to make your calling and election sure… The word, “calling” there is the Greek klésis and it means “invitation; in the New Testament, it is always of a divine call.” The word for “election” is the Greek eklogé and it means “a choosing out, selecting, choice (by God).” So since you were born-again in your spirit, you now have a divine invitation from Him “who saved us and (only then) called us,” but notice that you also have to make certain you will be among those whom God chooses, because that calling means an invitation to partake of everything that Christ is. (1Pe.1:10) Wherefore, brethren, give the more diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never stumble: (11) For thus shall be richly supplied unto you the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. You may be thinking, “Whoa! I thought I entered way back there when I was baptized.” Well, as you “do these things,” you are progressively entering into the eternal Kingdom because you are progressively taking more and more of your Promised Land, which is where God rules. That's how you enter the Kingdom. (1Pe.1:11) For thus shall be richly supplied unto you the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The preachers have lied to us a lot about this. Many think they entered “the eternal kingdom” when they shook the preacher's hand and accepted Jesus, who told them, “That's all you need to do. Now just go sit down in a pew, pay your tithes, and wait for the rapture,” but they don't know what they're talking about. They just accepted what their dead religion said and passed it on to you. The Bible calls it “leaven.” (Mat.16:6) And Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. Father, we ask that You keep these things in our mind, and that we be given this gift to always seek out Your Word day-by-day to learn and grow, and receive the Word of God into our hearts where it can give root to that seed so that we can bear fruit as the parable of the sower shows. Lord, we love you and love to read Your Word. We love to know what it is to be righteous, what it is to be truly born-again in spirit, soul, and ultimately, body, for those who are born-again in soul. Lord, we thank You, Father, for the gift of Jesus Christ, because when we look in the mirror, we don't see a sinner; we see a sinner that's been saved by grace. “Saved” is Jesus. We accept Jesus: We accept the reconciliation, the exchange, of His Life for our life. We give up our life, daily, Lord. It's been nailed on the Cross, it's been buried in baptism, and we accept the Life of Christ, daily, because as the outer man is decaying, the inner man is being renewed day by day. Every day, Lord, let us give up the old man to death in the fiery trial on the altar of burnt offering. Lord, help us every day to deny ourselves and to let the fiery trial burn-up the old man. Lord, we win, because Jesus won. We need to just keep on believing that, keep on believing these awesome promises and accept the fact that we don't live anymore: Christ lives in us. And the life that we now live, we live by the faith of the Son of God, Who loved us and gave Himself for us, as Galatians 2:20 says. Oh, thank You, Father, thank You for this awesome and miraculous work!
We Need To Check Ourselves (1) (audio) David Eells 1/3/24 We are very close to the appearance of the Man-child reformers to chose the Bride. It is past time to stop playing and draw close to the Lord. It is time to check ourselves to be sure we are in the running. Major disasters are coming at the same time so pray that you are accounted worthy to escape all these things. Lam 3:40 Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to Jehovah. 1Co 11:27-34 Wherefore whosoever shall eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man prove himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup. 29 For he that eateth and drinketh, eateth and drinketh judgment unto himself, if he discern not the body. 30 For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep. 31 But if we discerned ourselves, we should not be judged. 32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world. 33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait one for another. 34 If any man is hungry, let him eat at home; that your coming together be not unto judgment. And the rest will I set in order whensoever I come. 2Co 13:5 Try your own selves, whether ye are in the faith; prove your own selves. Or know ye not as to your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you? unless indeed ye be reprobate. Gal 6:4 But let each man prove his own work, and then shall he have his glorying in regard of himself alone, and not of his neighbor. Psa 139:23-24 Search me, O God, and know my heart: Try me, and know my thoughts; 24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting. Psa 26:1-2 A Psalm of David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in Jehovah without wavering. 2 Examine me, O Jehovah, and prove me; Try my heart and my mind. Eph 5:15-21 Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise; 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Wherefore be ye not foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And be not drunken with wine, wherein is riot, but be filled with the Spirit; 19 speaking one to another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; 20 giving thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father; 21 subjecting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ. (Rev 3:11 I come quickly: hold fast that which thou hast, that no one take thy crown.) Purposely Desire The Lord Anonymous 4/7/23 (David's notes in red) Nothing comes from anything else other than Me. Not your own works, or other people, or this earth. Just Me. (Joh 3:27 ASV John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it have been given him from heaven.) Endure the suffering now. Have selflessness now above all. If it hurts or is undesirable to the flesh, it is most likely to be for My Glory. (As in Death to self; the crucified life.) There are testings of your patience and diligence to make way for the end result of My Will. And these testings will enable you to always resist the enemy. Have a high regard and hope of Who I Am! (The highest of all, the creator of all; cares for you.) Ask yourself, can there be anything I cannot do? Would I leave anything undone? (Jer 32:27 ASV Behold, I am Jehovah, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?) Keep loving so much so, that the intensity drives darkness into nothingness. You are in a very tough but major change. Be ready for the blessings in abundance. (I felt to be ready to utilize, not just receive.) Let go of your own feelings and satisfactions. Look at My Son. Did He not lay His life down for you, and yet said nothing? (We are to do just the same as Lord Jesus.) NENT Act 8:32-35 Now the passage of the scripture which he was reading was this, He was led as a sheep to slaughter; And as a lamb before his shearer is dumb, So he openeth not his mouth: 33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: His generation who shall declare? For his life is taken from the earth. 34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other? 35 And Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this scripture, preached the gospel to him, Jesus. 1Jn 3:16 Hereby know we love, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. Repent quickly. The quicker you do so, you can then be close to each other as I am to you. (I saw a triangle. We must yearn for each other in unity.) You are in a time of sanctification. Tried and true. (I saw how metal being beaten into shape by a blacksmith and tried and proven and made stronger in a fiery furnace.) There is nothing that compares to My Love. I want you and desire your company forever. Cherish this and do not get distracted from My Love. I am pure and true. Everything else is a test of our love together. When you see the time where children and those young in faith are speaking as Jesus did in the temple, then you are unable to ask for more time for the end of time is here. Be ready. (I felt that these are the times where we are seeing those being called out from the apostate churches, His Sheep who follow His Voice, for Our Father's Glory.) NENT Luk 2:46-49 And it came to pass, after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them, and asking them questions: 47 and all that heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. 48 And when they saw him, they were astonished; and his mother said unto him, Child, why hast thou thus dealt with us? lo, thy father and I seek thee sorrowing. 49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? knew ye not that I must be about my Father's business. Trust Me. I have a way. (I felt we are to let go of all our desires and to treat each day as the last. Not for pleasure but for closeness to Him.) Hold to Me. Never let go. You are doing well and keeping true on the righteous path. Never let this be a reason to stop or slow down. Never allow lies or self to be a hinderance to our life together – now. There Must Be An Exchange Debbie Fenske 12/30/23 (David's notes in red) My children let Me speak this Word of love to you from My heart. Being where you are does not make you part of My Holy Bride. Only ignoring this world around you, and consuming yourself with the business of My Kingdom, willingly and faithfully from a heart of total repentance, and a life of Holy Living as you abide in Me, do I stamp upon you, “Holiness To the Lord." In this hour of much darkness and much falling away of My people, I need your oneness with Me, and I so desire My oneness with you. I need you to be in the thick of warfare against this darkness. Realize the exchange that has taken place. I have been exchanged for meaningless activities. Do you really understand the times we are in? Yes, we are in this together. You need to make the exchange back from the meaninglessness to My High Calling, exchange from darkness to light. Yes. I say that this is an exchange from darkness to light. Let Me open your eyes so that you will see the darkness where you spend so much of your time. This world and the things that are only for occupying your mind and your time are things of darkness. (The distractions of the pleasures of the flesh are darkness.) For a very short time, now, My hand of invitation is still mercifully stretched out to you. What great mercy I have given to you, My people. I have given you so much of everything. So much of Myself. And now the choosing of My Bride is at hand. This is the time to make the exchange. You know what I am asking each of you. Search your hearts. Examine your hearts. Separation is not what I am merely asking of you. I Am requiring it of you. Be diligent to enter the fight for those to whom I have called, and am calling, still, out of My great mercy. Enter in, in the beauty of holiness. Remember, desire is not enough. Your will must win over mere desire. Just as My will was to give My life for Yours, so now, so close in this last hour, will you by your will, and by My extended grace and mercy, give up your life for Me and for others? There are many who need you to give up your life for them, in warfare for them against the enemy. Have you not known that playtime has been over? The time has always been for death to self, but life in Me, for Me and with Me in our Kingdom Reign together on this earth for eternity. Eternity is right now. Right now, spend it with Me on your knees. Keep your hearts bowed. I Am waiting to cloth you with My glory. Are you making yourselves worthy of My High Calling? You are not alone, though you may feel it, being separated from beloved friends and family. For I have given you one another, a family to work together, to come into this calling together as one in Me. I love you, My Children. So Many Will Not Be Kept Safe Debbie Fenske 9/30/23 (David's notes in red) I received this last Thursday night, 9-28-23. It was our worship and praise night on the Zoom Outreach conference call. I could not share it that night because I knew I had to pray about how to present this. Our worship time was awesome. It was such a wonderful uplifting time. I was being really blessed worshiping and praising God, and being lifted up in my spirit, so, I was not prepared for such a turn that I received. One of the last few songs we were singing had lyrics about how He will keep us in the fire, and He will keep us in the storm. After that song I began feeling a spirit of heaviness come over me. It just wasn't normal. I asked Father, “What is this all about, God? Why am I feeling this way?” And then, suddenly I was seeing a vision of Jesus in a white robe. His hair was brown, and shoulder length. His head was somewhat bowed allowing His hair to fall forward over His shoulders, and hang down at each side of His face. Then, I was suddenly given a closer view of His face, like the way a camera focuses on an object. I could see Jesus was not happy. I could tell He was very sad, and grieving, and I could not understand that, because I thought our worship time was so great. Then our worship went into another song with real high praise, and people were so happy, lifting up Jesus. The main lyrics, I will say, were, “I just can't stop praising His Name.” And the song kind of went on and on. I opened my eyes and watched as I was singing with them. It was really a great song. But I was feeling this heaviness at the same time, Then, closing my eyes again, I was again seeing the same vision of Jesus, really grieving, with such sadness on His face. I couldn't understand this. I was still confused, asking myself, “Why this, now?” Then, Jesus faded out, and I was looking at what I had just been watching: people on stage, raising their arms, singing loudly, kicking their legs, and dancing, and twirling while praising God. I saw one group of praisers that were really dressed up, and then another group of praisers were in just jeans and T-shirt, just like what we were watching in these worship videos. But what I heard the Lord say after that, I don't think He was necessarily applying to these particular groups, individuals, and choirs of people that we were just seeing in the worship videos. But He was referring to many people out there that are lifted up in this way. And not just groups or individuals who are popular out there, but to so many who are saying they are doing what they are doing for God's kingdom. But they are not. As I was watching that vision, and after seeing Jesus looking so sad and grieved, and feeling His heart, this is what the Lord said. “So many will not be kept safe from the burning fire, from the storm, from the battle. They will not be kept safe, though they praise Me, because they have not known Me. They are deceived. Oh, they look like they know Me when they are singing great songs of praise to Me. But though they know that what they sing about Me is true, they do not know Me.” “They boast in that I love them. But they cannot boast in their love for Me, for they do not know Me. Therefore, I do not know them. These people grieve My heart so, as I watch them make fools of themselves before the devil and his demons. If they only would really want to know what is in My Word. But they have no desire to know My Word, because they have no real desire to know Me. What they really desire is to be looked upon and worshiped by others. Foolish, they are.” “And though it grieves Me, I know that there are many of them who realize they are empty of Me, and will repent, and come to Me, and follow Me. But so much more than those who will repent, are those who will not repent, and are going to stay on their stage singing their way into hell.” After I finished writing this down, I just happened to opened my Bible. I wasn't, at this point, going for a random word for confirmation. But I was thinking I would do that. So I was really amazed when I read the verses that my eyes looked down at after I opened my Bible. Thank you Lord! I looked at verse 7 of Matthew 7. I'm reading Matthew 7:6-7. 6 And He said unto them, “Rightly did Isaiah, prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: this people honors Me with their lips, but their hearts are far away from Me. 7 But in vain, do they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.” So, the numbers, 767 strongly stood out to me. When numbers stand out to me I like to look them up in the Strongs concordance. So what Strongs says of 767 is, “of no mark, unmarked, or unstamped, insignificant, ignoble.” Oh Father, You've shown that You do grieve for those who are in such a deceived state. It is scary to be thinking that people who worship You before men, are in that place. (Hollywood entertainment has invaded the Church.) The same as all people who say they are Christians, but are deceived by doctrines of demons, thinking that popularity while wearing Your name tag is acceptable. They know of You only in their head, not in their heart. But so many do not realize that they are unmarked, or unstamped, and insignificant to You, and ignoble in what they think they are doing unto You, or for Your kingdom. And they don't realize that You do not know them. I pray that we, and all of Your people will always examine our hearts before You, searching our hearts, and repenting, of not worshipping You in spirit and in truth in all we do. Father, as we are staying in Your Word, reveal to us where we are being in the flesh, and of any spirit of pride and self-grandeur which is so unpleasing to You, so that we can repent. Thank You for Your grace to us to stay in the light of Your Word, wanting Your light to shine on any darkness in our lives so that we can repent and remain true, pure, and clean before You, before one another, and before those out in the world, for Your honor and glory alone. Please open the eyes of Your people, quickly, who don't see that they are in this dangerous, place, trapped in the lie of the devil that tells them they are right with You, while they are really just lifting up themselves, desiring only to please men. Please make them aware of the strong truth of Your words in Matthew 7:23, “I never knew you.” And Matthew 25:41“Depart from me ye cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.” Lord, put in them a Holy fear of You, and cause them to repent, to change their ways by walking according to Your Word. Deliver them from the darkness so that they will be a Light in the darkness, bringing honor to only Your name, never to their own. And always, in all they do, worship You from their heart, in spirit, and in truth. Thank you, Father. Amen. Sing For The Lord Anonymous 4/9/23 (David's notes in red) “Are you worshipping Me to make yourself feel good or are you doing it for (or to revere) Me? The songs you listen to and the words you sing, are they Holy? Are they, My Word? Are they truth? Or is it repetitive flesh pleasing and self-pleasing words? Are the words (lyrics) contrary to My Word? Are the feelings you are experiencing the Holy Spirit, or the flesh being aroused? Is this for Me or for You? Don't you know that you can't even speak or walk without Me and My grace? Use your mouth for Me and My Glory. Let Me bridle your tongue and let Me only speak through you. Stop speaking about self and singing for self. Think about how those who worship Me now in the Holy of Holies for eternity. You have heard some say, ‘Holy Holy Holy' and they don't speak or glorify self. Think and speak with Me about the beats you listen to. Music goes straight to your soul and there is no filter, spirits transfer whether you see it or not. Are the people you are listening to singing from My Spirit? Are the instrumentals to Glorify Me and from Me or is it another spirit to make and manipulate you to feel a certain way? Is it making your flesh feel good? When the song finishes do you lose the joy? Does it feel like a come down? Or is it My Joy that is always present? Does the pleasure only last the duration of the song or is it My Peace which is always there? Abide and remain in My presence. Ask Me and allow Me to open your eyes to see what spirits are singing, speaking and playing through in the songs you listen to. Allow Me to show you what is really happening in the spiritual when you listen to these songs. When you listen to it you are agreeing with it and in some ways, it has put you under curses. Yes, My Grace is for you but I can't break or go against My own words. Touch NO unclean thing and be Holy as I Am Holy. I love when you sing to Me from your heart. It doesn't matter the tone of your voice or how it sounds in the physical. Your singing from your heart gives Me greater joy than you know. I created you to sing for me and dance for Me. Allow My spirit to sing through you. You don't need to always listen to others singing when you don't even know what spirit they are singing from, and you don't even know them. Sing to Me, you don't even need a beat but sing to Me, My child with My Spirit, commune with Me not just in Spirit and Word but in songs and dance. When you are alone and when you come together. The flesh doesn't like the Spirit singing and dancing through you to Me and will do anything to hinder it. Your Spirit desires to sing and dance to Me always. And when you do it hinders and crucifies the flesh so your Spirit rises up. I love you My child but do these things. I desire you to be clean, holy, pure, undefiled. I Am with you and I will help you, I will show you if you just ask.” Your Time Is My Time Eve Brast 7/23/17 (David's notes in red) Father spoke a word to me that I would like to share. I had been meditating on a couple of conversations I'd had with a brother and sister after the morning prayer meeting and, as a result, I asked Father to speak to me. I realized I hadn't heard from Him in a while so I asked Him why he'd been silent lately? He answered me immediately as if He had been waiting for my attention. He said, "I have not been silent. It's that your mind has been too loud. Empty your mind and void it of busyness and the soulish thoughts that continually scream for your attention. Still your mind and be quiet and you will hear My voice clearly. Don't allow external distraction or the soulish thought life dull your discernment of the attacks from the enemy. He hides behind these and intermingles with them to keep you in turmoil and keep you from fully entering into the life and purpose I intend for you. Guard your mind with My Word. Build the wall with the Rock of my Word and the mortar of quietness and stillness of mind. This will protect and strengthen your mind with My peace and a singleness of purpose. Cast down the soulish thought life and turn away from distraction. Shut them out so you can hear Me clearly and distinguish the voice of the enemy. Strive to walk out your days in stillness of mind. As you train your mind in this way, I will meet you there in the stillness.” I asked our Father for a verse or text for this word and received: Psalm 139:3 (1-4), O Jehovah, thou hast searched me, and known me. 2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising; Thou understandest my thought afar off. 3 Thou searchest out my path and my lying down, And art acquainted with all my ways. 4 For there is not a word in my tongue, But, lo, O Jehovah, thou knowest it altogether. When I was driving home from work Sunday evening, Father again spoke very clearly to me as I was thinking on this Word above. He said, "Your time is My time! Don't waste My time. Seek Me on how I would have you spend it.” This really convicted me, because I do waste time at some point each day. I didn't realize that He considered my time His time and that it was precious to Him. I figured, "Well, I'm nobody, so how I spend free time isn't all that important.” Looks like I was presumptuous on that one! I asked Him for a verse concerning my time being His time and received, Acts 1:14 These all with one accord continued stedfastly in prayer, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. Hope this helps any who are also struggling in these areas. Scripture Test of Discipleship David Eells Rom 8:13 for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live. Mat 10:34 Think not that I came to send peace on the earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35 For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law: 36 and a man's foes shall be they of his own household. 37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And he that doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me. 39 He that findeth his life shall lose it; and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. Joh 12:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit. 25 He that loveth his life loseth it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. 26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will the Father honor. 1Co 9:23 And I do all things for the gospel's sake, that I may be a joint partaker thereof. 24 Know ye not that they that run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? Even so run; that ye may attain. 25 And every man that striveth in the games exerciseth self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26 I therefore so run, as not uncertainly; so fight I, as not beating the air: 27 but I buffet my body, and bring it into bondage: lest by any means, after that I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected. Luk 13:6 And he spake this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit thereon, and found none. 7 And he said unto the vinedresser, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why doth it also cumber the ground? 8 And he answering saith unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: 9 and if it bear fruit thenceforth, well; but if not, thou shalt cut it down. Jas 1:2 Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into manifold temptations; 3 knowing that the proving of your faith worketh patience. 4 And let patience have its perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing. 5 But if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 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; 8 a doubleminded man, unstable in all his ways. 2Pe 2:2 And many shall follow their lascivious doings; by reason of whom the way of the truth shall be evil spoken of. 3 And in covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose sentence now from of old lingereth not, and their destruction slumbereth not. 4 For if God spared not angels when they sinned, but cast them down to hell, and committed them to pits of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5 and spared not the ancient world, but preserved Noah with seven others, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly; 6 and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, having made them an example unto those that should live ungodly; 7 and delivered righteous Lot, sore distressed by the lascivious life of the wicked 8 (for that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their lawless deeds): 9 the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment unto the day of judgment; 10 but chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement, and despise dominion. Daring, self-willed, they tremble not to rail at dignities: Jas 5:9 Murmur not, brethren, one against another, that ye be not judged: behold, the judge standeth before the doors. 10 Take, brethren, for an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets who spake in the name of the Lord. 11 Behold, we call them blessed that endured: ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord, how that the Lord is full of pity, and merciful. Rom 8:17 and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him. 29 because to you it hath been granted in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer in his behalf: 2 Th 1:4 so that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which ye endure; 5 which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God; to the end that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: 1Pe 2:20 For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted for it, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye shall take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. 1Pe 3:14 But even if ye should suffer for righteousness' sake, blessed are ye: and fear not their fear, neither be troubled; 1Pe 4:19 Wherefore let them also that suffer according to the will of God commit their souls in well-doing unto a faithful Creator. Rev 2:10 Fear not the things which thou art about to suffer: behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days. Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee the crown of life.
He's saying, "you think your words, your prayers, your plans can save you, but only My Love can. I am The Word. I am The Prayer. I am The Plan. The only One." Tell God you trust Him. Tell Her you know Her. Love Love. (Love the Awareness, Love that Primal Feeling) This is who you are beyond the kaleidoscope, beyond that problem that's not really there. Don't be fooled by it. Don't react to it. Don't fight it. On the one hand, it's already won; it's already done. On the other hand, it's not there. It never was. You can pick which teaching, which practice best stops your thoughts, thinking, 'this is not here, this is not really happening', or, 'this is already resolved. This was needed. It had to happen like this, so I could step into This- into this highest version of me-- The one where I know who's with me, who's behind me, who's breathing me, who's speaking me. I can't fail.' You can't fail. He has made a way for you. TRUST. I Love You I Am You nik To claim your free gift, leave a review on Apple Podcasts, screenshot it and send it to me at nikki@curlynikki.com!

Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland." - Isaiah 43:19 "It is God's great pleasure to give you the kingdom, not to have you sweat for it, labor for it, earn it, or even deserve it. Your good should come to you, not by the sweat of your brow, but by a divine grace operating in you a grace which you prevent by trying to make God your servant instead of making of yourself a servant of God." - Joel Goldsmith "Yes, My daughter, My Will is the greatest thing that exists. It is the secret to finding the light, sanctity and greatest spiritual treasures. It is the secret to knowing every good thing, but because it is not intimately known, it is neither valued nor loved as it merits. It is your job to know, love and make it known to all disposed souls." - Jesus to Luisa Picaretta, The Book of Heaven "Thus Jesus tells Luisa: "My daughter, on earth I did nothing but give Myself into the mercy of the Will of the Father. Thus if I thought, I thought in the mind of the Father. If I spoke, I spoke in the mouth and with the tongue of the Father. If I worked, I worked in the hands of the Father. Even my breath breathed in Him... .. was the carrier of the Father, for completely enclosed in His Will, I did nothing by Myself. My only thought was the Will of the Father.""- The Book of Heaven, Luisa Picaretta

New Moon in Cancer @ 25* The Sun squares the nodal axis just prior to entering Leo on July 22nd. The Leo mantra remains: I align My Will with Divine Will" Venus turns stationary retrograde in Leo along with Chiron Rx in Aries providing some fireworks and feistiness to our summertime pursuits. Pluto squares the nodal axis as well, July 27th in late Capricorn so the final degrees of the cardinal modality is a leading edge of evolution on this warm and fuzzy journey to the core of our Soul.
Mike Donehey has seen his fair share of the unexpected. Following a potentially fatal car crash as a teen, Mike learned to play the guitar while still in bed recovering from his injuries. Learning the guitar quickly gave birth to songwriting, and that songwriting quickly led to the formation of a band. That band, Tenth Avenue North, became one of the most loved and successful artists in Christian music. Beginning with their acclaimed national debut, Over and Underneath, Tenth Avenue North's audience multiplied with each new album and hit song, like radio favorites “Love Is Here,” “By Your Side,” “You Are More,” “Losing,” “Worn,” “I Have This Hope,” and multi-week no. 1 smash “Control (Somehow You Want Me).” At the beginning of 2020, despite widespread notoriety and a devout following, Tenth Avenue North's members began to sense they each had their own unexpected and unique roads to follow. Mike has seized this opportunity, reveling in the excitement to expand as a storyteller, communicator and thought instigator wherever his voice is heard. Mike's acclaimed book, Finding God's Life for My Will, was an immediate best-seller upon its release. It is soon to be followed by his next book, Grace In The Gray, releasing in January 2023. Mike's podcast, Chasing the Beauty, looks for the joy of God in the places we didn't think it could be on the AccessMore network. Perhaps most exciting has been Mike's writing and producing new music. His acclaimed solo album Flourish is just the beginning of the flow of new music coming our way. The unexpected has a way of disrupting our lives in ways we might not have ever chosen. For Mike, learning to embrace the unexpected has been the very thing that has brought forth encouraging and soul-healing art time and time again. Looking forward, Mike is trusting to be led in any way that will allow him to continue to serve and inspire.

All those who surrender themselves in love to Me will see, adore and realize the reality behind My form.Dust has no thought of its own – whether it is trampled upon or applied to the forehead of a man, or remains suspended in air or water. It is all the same to it. I tell you, there is no true and better example of complete surrender than becoming like dust.Spiritual advancement is a succession of one surrender after another, until the goal of the final surrender of separate ego-life is achieved. The last surrender is the complete surrender, equivalent to the attainment of Truth.

In fact, He is not only within you but He is your very Self. You cannot get at Him for you seek Him through the ego-mind which converts Him into the will-o'-the-wisp.I am God – God the Beyond and God in human form. I draw you ever closer to Me by giving you frequent occasions of My Companionship. But familiarity often makes you forget that I am God. I know all that happens and will happen. Whatever happens does not happen without My Will. Knowingly I allow things to happen in their natural course.I come down to your level to such an extent that I mix with you all. I appear to be cheerful, playful, but you have no idea of My Divinity, of My All-pervading state.

Seek Me not in order to extricate you from your predicaments, but find Me in order to surrender yourself whole – heartedly to My Will. Cling to Me not for worldly happiness and short-lived comforts, but adhere to Me through thick and thin, sacrificing your own happiness and comfort at My feet, Let My happiness be your cheer and My comfort your rest, for those who lose their all in Me shall have Me ever after.The best is just to remember Me and forget everything else, leaving everything to Me.

THIS MESSAGE WILL CONFIRM MANY OF THE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE STARTED TO SEE COME TO PASS I'd like to welcome you to my podcast today with a greeting to those who are listening and who were wondering where is the podcast that I had promised regarding a very intense, vivid, open vision, that I had from the Lord (that I had said I was going to share with you the following week) from my last podcast. AS I BEGAN TO PREPARE FOR THAT, I JUST COULD NOT GET IT TO COME TOGETHER, and I was striving and I was fighting it. So I got quiet before the Lord and asked him what I was to do. As I was in prayer, I had the impression from the Lord that there was something that I needed to prepare. He began to remind me that I had not done a review of the year 2022. Now, I usually do this midyear, after I've had a word at the beginning of the year from the Lord, or, that year that we are in. AS I BEGAN TO PREPARE AND LOOK AT THAT WORD, I realized that it was in fact, something that I needed to use as a springboard to share what the Lord had given me in the vision. And then the word came to me from the Lord, “First A Review Before The New”. The Lord was letting me know that there was a little bit of reviewing, and again, sometimes we need to look at what the Lord has spoken to us previously and check our hearts, and also see if we have obeyed him, or if there is something we missed before we can really get a full handle on what he is trying to say to us currently. I'M GOING TO REVIEW THAT WITH YOU FIRST, AND, ALSO THE LORD BROUGHT BACK TO ME A VERY STRONG WORD THAT I HAD IN THE YEAR OF 2016. IT WAS TITLED "THE GREAT COMING WHIRLWIND" AND IT WAS A PROPHETIC INSIGHT FROM THE LORD. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT WHIRLWIND RIGHT NOW, SO THE WORD HAS TAKEN TIME TO DEVELOP AND TO PROCESS AND TO COME TO PASS. I had several of you comment to me that this for some reason, struck a chord with you and that you were deeply moved, especially one of my good friends who is a pastor in St. Louis Missouri, a pastor by the name of Harry Schroeder, who said the seemed to really, stand out to him, so thank you Harry for letting me know back then that the Lord did hold on to something in peoples hearts with this. That is the second part of the review that the Lord would have me share again, in order to make sure that we have listened or “listen to” what the Holy Spirit has said, and what he is saying to his churches. THIS WILL CONFIRM TO MANY OF THE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE BEGUN SEE COME TO PASS, but needed a reference point to remind you, that you had heard from the Lord, or that what I'm sharing with you as confirmation, for the things that you have been questioning and wanting to somehow have answers to. BEFORE WE BEGIN, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY HELLO TO OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN SINGAPORE. I have noticed that many of you are listening to the podcast, and I feel like the Lord would help me encourage you to not be afraid at this time, to be bold and courageous in sharing the love of Christ. I KEEP HAVING THE NAME OF SOMEONE BY THE NAME OF “TING” WHICH IS SPELLED - T I N G - being impressed upon my heart by the Lord. This name, (I think it's a female) but the Lord just simply said. “Tell Ting that you have been called to be an evangelist to your nation, and that the Lord wants you to be bold and courageous, and he wants you to know that if you open wide your mouth, he will fill it with the words that will begin to change hearts. Start with a small gathering in your home and begin to just lovingly share, as with dear friends, your own story. You don't need to make it a big loud story, nor do you need to perform. Simply say, “I want to tell you the story of what has changed my life”. The Lord is going to enter that room with his Holy Spirit Presence, and hearts are going to be tenderly touched, as you boldly and courageously share. Jeremiah 1:8-9 and 10 say, “Be not afraid of their faces for I am with you to deliver you says the Lord, then the Lord put forth his hand and touched my mouth and the Lord said to me, “behold I've put my words in your mouth. See! I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out and pull down and to destroy, and to throw down, and to build and to plant.” THE TITLE OF THIS PODCAST IS CALLED, “A REVIEW BEFORE THE NEW” OR, “A RE-view” BEFORE THE NEW. In 2022 I had a word for the Lord for that year, and I'm going to share with you “in review”, the prophetic word from the Spirit of God, that is most important and a kind of an introductory for what we're about to enjoy next podcast regarding this vision that I had. I believe the vision is right where we are literally moving into right now, in the world, in the Body of Christ, and literally all over the globe. The prophetic word from the Spirit of God was/is called, “FOR THOSE FACING THE NARROWING PATH”, (2022) The word said this; “Darker and broader and louder come the shouts of world to draw you into its intricate webs. These webs of deceit are spun with silken tongues and with the softness of the promise of an easier life. There is a reckoning coming to those that sell lies and imprison those who buy their wares. But for those who are determined to not walk on a fence, trying to balance between their own thinking and me, there will be a “Divine Might” that will empower them to continue down the narrowing way. Where does this narrowing journey lead? What is the payoff at the end? As you become more determined and lay aside the things that have hindered you over and over again from fully entering into the deeper places with me, a lightness and freedom will propel you toward a place of Living Light. That Light is Me, and you will soon know Me in a different way than you have in past years and seasons. My one warning to many is that they cannot argue that the path is “too narrow”. What mankind might call “rigid” I call “Straight and Direct”. If you choose to alter the plans that I have set down for your protection and safety, you will grieve my Spirit and allow a searing of your conscience to override the truths that you know deep in your heart. “The path of those who do right is straight and smooth. I, who am upright, make the way of the righteous level.” -Isaiah 26:7 “The Narrowing” has begun to increase, and the love for it has decreased among those who choose to remain passive to conviction and pure living. Allow my Holy Spirit to move freely again. I know what I must do, to break the constraints of man. Let me move! Are you afraid that I might be ridiculed? Or, are you more concerned for your image and patterns before men? “Do not stifle the Holy Spirit. Do not scoff at prophecies, But test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good.” -I Thessalonians 5:19-21 Choose the “Narrowing Way”. For I, Am there. Choose the pathway of “rightness” with me, even when others scoff at your “narrow mindedness”. When the days become darker and the world tilts and twists in further unrestrained darkness, You will be the carrier of My Light, which can lead the lukewarm and lost, down the narrow, but safe, and integral way, to Me. “THE GREAT COMING WHIRLWIND” By the Holy Spirit through Mary Lindow “The LORD is slow to get angry, but his power is great, And he never lets the guilty go unpunished. He displays his power in the whirlwind and the storm. The billowing clouds are the dust beneath his feet.” -Nahum 1:3 We Are In High-Pressured Days That Seem As If Everything Around Us Is In A Great Whirlwind. The noise coming from the media, the weather patterns, the sounds of war, the sounds of people crying out for “Justice” and the sounds of people crying out because they feel like there's been too much “In-justice”. The Lord Would Like To Speak These Words In This Hour To Those That Have Ears To Hear. I know there are many prophetic words being ushered into the media outlets by so many people and many have been spoken out in meetings and conferences. I wish that I could tell you that every single voice you're listening to and every promise that is being made to you regarding great wealth, great promotion, and great open doors are accurate. But deep down inside of your spirit-man, there is something stirring that you cannot explain. It's that knowing that something is coming, that something has begun out there in the world that we cannot see, but that we know in the spirit. We Are In A Time Like None Other On And In The Earth. But, we do have reference points to go to that tell of similar warnings and events that took place in the past. We can remember when Lot chose to go for the things that were more pleasing to his flesh and where he would have more abundant provision and opportunity for business trade, but in the end he was stuck in the city where there was nothing but illicit sex, graft, stealing and robbing, and eventually total desolation and demolition. Even as the Lord provided a way of escape, his wife still had the smell, the stench of the worldly life in her heart, and she turned around to look one more time, fondly, over her shoulder, at the home that she dreaded to leave behind. Look At The Days Of Noah When He Was Mocked And Laughed At. He did not build that famous ark in a month! No! It took a long, long period of time to build the ark out in the middle of nowhere! A simple study of the Bible text shows that the time from when God told Noah to build the ark, till the rain fell was no longer than about 75 years. And yet he obeyed God. If we read carefully, it says that the Lord himself drew the animals to the ark. First, it is necessary to note that Noah was not told to gather the animals. He was commanded only to build the Ark, large enough for all the animals, and simply receive the animals when they arrived. "And of every living thing of all flesh, . . . two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive" (Genesis 6:19-20). I Want To Encourage All Of You To Understand Clearly That There Is A Whirlwind Coming. In Jeremiah 23:19 God is talking about a whirlwind that He has sent—a violent windstorm. The false prophets have said, "No bad is coming" (verse 17). God says, "Do they ever listen to me? I've said, 'I'm sending a whirlwind, and it's going to fall on the heads of the wicked.' How dare they say that everything is going to be okay!”? What is coming is bigger and broader and wider and more destructive than anything else that we have ever seen. I don't know if it's a nuclear war! I don't know if it's bizarre weather patterns! And I don't know if it's not just a whirlwind of new kinds of ideas being foisted upon mankind. What I Do Know Is This. There are people who are aware in the spirit that the only stronghold in place right now, a place of immunity and safety, is in prayer and in surrendering to all that the Lord is asking of them. Many of you are stretched beyond the point that no one can understand. Their financial resources have been given and given again to help others, and yet their own supply seems to be dwindling. There are those who have poured into the lives of others, poured into businesses, poured into mentoring and training others, and yet it appears as if when they reach out there's nothing left in the pantry for them. The Lord Wants Those Of You Who Have Been Giving, Giving, Giving - To Check Your Hearts One More Time. If HE told you to give and to serve and to sacrifice, then you can be guaranteed one thing. He does not withhold from those who have been faithful. “But this I say, He which sows sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which sows bountifully shall reap also bountifully. - 2 Corinthians 9:6 "And God, who supplies seed for the sower and bread to eat, will also supply you with all the seed you need and will make it grow and produce a rich harvest from your generosity." -2 Corinthians 9:10 I want to encourage you right now in the spirit to understand the time that we are in, is a time when nothing is making sense when trying to apply the past patterns and methods or, the natural way of living. It's Going To Take A Determined, Dogged, Supernatural Approach To Understand The Seasons The Days And The Times. God already understands all of this, but He is not going to communicate to people who will then try to communicate it in natural terms to those who don't have ears to hear. He's going to communicate truth and wisdom to those were willing to allow their own hearts to go into the fire of refining and changing the way that they have done things in the past. “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise.” -Psalm 111:10 DIFFICULTIES REQUIRE NEW STRATEGIES. Hard times require sober minds and the determination not to be towed under by destruction and despair. We Are Not To Be Focusing On The Noise In The Whirlwind Around Us In This World, even though it sure does draw our attention from the left and the right! We are to instead, focus on a specific path, a narrowing of vision and a “one direction” place. And what exactly does that all mean? It means that we are to seek the Face of the Father. And I mean seek and to seek, and to seek again. Continually. “Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.” -1 Chronicles 16:11 WE HAVE GOT TO BREAK DOWN THOSE THINGS THAT ARE HOLDING BACK THE MOVE OF GOD IN ALL DENOMINATIONS OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH. It will only come by Seeking His Face, Seeing His Heart for people And Hearing His Plans for them, and for us! Oh how the Father wants to bring a fresh move of his presence through His word and through His glorious goodness and mercy! HE IS GOING TO BRING CORRECTION TO ALL DENOMINATIONS All walks that claim to have Jesus Christ as the head of the faith! So many smugly think that because they have been charisma tics or that they have been “spirit-filled” they have a higher attained level of wisdom and discernment! This is nothing but plain arrogance. If anything, there should be a more refined level of humility and thankfulness for the fact that we have access through the gifts to flow in the fruits of the Spirit. “The LORD Almighty has a day in store for all the proud and lofty, for all that is exalted (and they will be humbled).” -Isaiah 2:12 THE HOLY SPIRIT WOULD SAY THESE WORDS TO US TODAY “Yes, the winds are blowing and they are harsh winds and some are absolutely destructive winds! Everything that does not stand under the power of my word and is not anchored in Me shall be shifted and blown and shaken, and at times the winds of drastic change will draw away the dross from the wheat. I am sifting and shaking, and shaking and sifting again and again until my people understand they do not live in a time where making demands and commands to Me operate well. I am looking for a people who will bow low enough before Me and get quiet and seek My will, MY WILL for planet earth! This world is fading away quickly and mankind is corrupted each day more and more to go the way of the flesh. YOU MUST PUT AWAY THE NOISE! You must put away the noise in your life and enter into the place were in the center of the storm is the eye. MY EYE is upon the righteous, My eye is upon those that are fruitful and faithful, and fruitful to Me may be different than fruitful to you! You cannot serve two masters, yet many have tried to justify the shutting away of My convicting voice when I have told them to go back and make right the situations where they have done grievous damage to others who are supposedly their family members in Christ. If you cannot repent and get relationships right in the Kingdom now, I cannot use you to forge new relationships in the future in My Kingdom. If you have bitterness, anger and jealousy in your heart, it will manifest with shaming and name-calling, as well as condescending and destroying another's capability to serve me well. The days of selfish ambition and immaturity are closely coming to an end. My light, My life, My word and My ways are perfect! I will not deviate from My plan for the Kingdom of God in the earth. I am looking for a people who will not listen to the accusation of others nor slander and destroy their brother and sisters because of another's opinion, or perhaps because they themselves were brought a loving correction or warning and instead, turned around and shamed the messenger. I see you all and I am fully aware of the things that have been done in My name to hide behind selfish ambition. A judgment time is coming! Know this. I am about to expose those who abuse the gifts, abuse their titles and abuse the finances that I have deemed for the kingdom and I'm going to bring their names to the forefront to save their souls! Yes, the whirlwinds may blow, and the storms and winds will be continuing to cycle and swirl. But I'm looking for those who are willing to stay in the center of My Eye, where there is quiet and there is calm and there is discernment, direction and wisdom for these devastating days. To those in the center of My Eye, I will pour out a wisdom beyond mankind's understanding and they will rise up and have the words that will bring direction, correction, and light into dark places. The eyes of the Lord keep watch over knowledge, But he overthrows the words of the traitor. -Proverbs 22:12 "For a man's ways are before the eyes of the Lord, and he ponders all his paths." -Proverbs 5:21 Stand prepared, for I'm doing this thing regardless of whether man is ready or not. I am that I Am and I will have my way in the earth, says the Lord of Hosts. For this is what the high and exalted One says-- He who lives forever, whose name is holy: "I live in a high and holy place, but also with the one who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite.” -Isaiah 57:15 Duplication and sharing of this writing is welcomed, as long as the complete message and all websites and information for Mary Lindow is included.

The New Moon @ 6* Leo coincides with Jupiter stationing retrograde @ 9* Aries. Our new creative ideas and initiations of efforts could be thwarted if intentions are unclear. Remember the Leo mantra: "I align My Will with Divine Will" Jupiter will oppose the Sun September 26th and our two month review process of what to believe in and most importantly what must be deleted, should be rather complete. By far the most dynamic transit affecting the collective is the Mars Uranus North Node conjunction in Taurus. There will be a continuous stream of mental and emotional insights we must pay attention to so as to avoid any calamities. When the fixed signs are lit up like this, resistance can build, then break. Uranus @ 19* Taurus now, is truly a 7-year climate event testing our frayed nerves. The New Moon and the Leo planets will also oppose Saturn retrograde @ 23* Aquarius. It is tempting to behave somewhat selfishly because Leo needs to shine, but unless we take into account the sacred group and our various clans, it will be only a show of one. Finally, when Mercury leaves Leo for its sign of rulership in Virgo, we will be able to look back and objectively analyze and adjust to the August upsets that have occurred as we approach the Full Moon. Mars then will have its rare retrograde in Gemini for 7 months there. Saturn also reaches the halfway point of its retrograde cycle in mid-August with the conjunction to the Sun lighting our path forward on this marvelous journey to the core of the Soul.
