Off The Grid Was Good

These women are must have in a girls life. They are mature, they are passionate, they are leaders, they are authentic, they are vulnerable, I mean I really do not have words to descibe the depth of who they are, but trust me they are a treasure I hold with a high value.

We embarked on an island camping trip with no running water, no electricity, and no men and it was an adventure of the likes we can try to share, but some experiences cant be told in words. We took Kathy Tierney Cuaderno’s boat to the island with multiple boat loads of supplies. Carrie Carullo is a camping extroidanaire, we literally lacked nothing. Once camp was set up we sat around the campfire and just talked. We went to bed all at the same time and we woke up at the same time. It was so much synchronicity between us only God could have orchestrated it.

We had our morning coffee or tea and sat around the campfire and talked. Each conversation building on the other. We took the boat out and had a picnic on the boat in a cove and talked some more. Then we came back sat around the campfire and the continual conversation with all 7 of us continued without a hiccup. We went to bed, the birds with us, yes we shared the island with minimum of 50 birds. We got up this morning and we had the apex conversation of the 3 days 2 nights one continual conversation. I have never experienced anything like this before. It was rich with truth and trust.

I think you can hear we had a great time. Then driving home on the radio they say, community is not something you find, it is something you build. I just smiled and thanked God for these women who I built something very special with the past couple days. We must be vulnerable if we are going to be healed, and my friends, I’m coming back more healed then when I left, thanks to these fabulous females.

Watch and Pray

If you have ever been in an argument with someone, you know the best thing to do is keep your mouth shut if you want the argument to end. If you are one who has heard an argument, you know that to try and speak into it is what we would say, “its none of your business”. This happens with people all the time. I remember in high school when a fight would break out in the hallway, we would all gather around and watch in a circle, but no one got involved and very few of us had a clue as to what started it. A fight always draws a crowd, but most people don’t know the history that brought about the current reality of the fight we were watching.

A war was declared yesterday and it grieves me that prophets are showing how they prophesied this would happen, as though this is a badge of honor to prove you are a prophet. Prophets are first and foremost to be intercessors, not to prove you are a prophet. Others will listen to the news and parrot them as though they are experts on a land they have never been to or know something about a people they have never met. My friends, there is a fight happening in the Middle East. People are circling around it watching a war between two people groups. We know very little, even though we think we know so much.

I was reading Leviticus 25 today because this war is happening 50 years after the Yom Kippur War of 1973, so it speaks to me, Jubilee, henceforth why I was reading Leviticus 25. The verse the Lord highlighted to me is “For the sons of Israel are My servants; they are My servants whom I brought out from the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.” (V.55). Israel is a covenant nation with God and they are God’s servants. God sees, hears and knows everything going on there and why it is happening. Let us not speak about things we know little about, we are called to be watchmen on the wall and to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, this is what we pray, as we watch from afar.

Eyesight Is Precious

If you love to talk; if you believe what you say is right; if you only know what you know based on what you have read; if you love hearing more on what you already know; you have stopped learning, you are proud and you don’t realize it. Self-deception is the greatest deception there is and many more people are self-deceived than we realize. Our need to be in the know, to not already know something, is a layer of our self-protection. It reveals we are wounded, insecure and scared, but don’t want anyone to know it. No wonder the Bible says, Knowledge puffs up. Knowledge makes people proud and hinders their ability to learn. Knowledge is surface level that is why so many people have knowledge, truth takes some digging, truth takes time, Truth is a person.

I was reading Proverbs 7 this morning in the Message translation and it says, “Dear friend, do what I tell you; treasure my careful instructions. Do what I say and you’ll live well. My teaching is as precious as your eyesight—guard it! Write it out on the back of your hands; etch it on the chambers of your heart.” Who is speaking here? Yes it is Solomon but parabolically, poetically it is Lady Wisdom speaking. Wisdom is a deep truth that very few find, because knowledge makes them feel so informed they never pass the layer of knowledge to hear the voice of Wisdom. if knowledge puffs up, wisdom humbles you. Wisdom is like Mr. Miagi it says, paint the fence, wax the car and you are like for what, only to find out it was training you to win.

Wisdom says, my teaching is as precious as your eyesight. Isaiah and Ezekiel says, people have eyes but they cannot see. My friends, don’t let knowledge blind you in pride making you think you are well informed. Knowledge has puffed you up so you do not pursue wisdom. Wisdom is where the real treasure trove of truth is found. But you must be more of a listener than a talker, a learner than a teacher, and it takes humility to recognize when you are being lied to, but didn’t know it because knowledge deceived you. Seek first the kingdom of God and ALL these things will be ADDED unto you. Lady Wisdom will always lead you to the Truth that will set you free.

A Sowing Season

I was praying Psalm 126 this morning and my spirit began to speak thanks to God for the season of weeping, crying, deconstructing, dying to self. It was a hard season, it felt like a long season, over 10 years for me, but today with an honest heart I was thanking the Lord for that season. I realized, based on what the psalmist said, if you have not had this season in your life, then you have not sown those seeds yet. This season was not because of secret sin I could not get over, some huge mistakes I made and I was remorseful, no this was a season designed by God, for He sees the end the from the beginning. It was a season of sowing.

Psalm 126 says, “Those who sow in tears shall reap with joyful shouting. He who goes to and fro weeping, carrying his bag of seed, Shall indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.”

Joy is the harvest of a season of sowing in tears. Shouts come from a heart that has seen the Lord in the darkest nights of the soul. Sheaves are in our arms because we did not quit when we wanted out of that season of sowing. I did not get invited into that season with an announcement that it would be the hardest season of my life, but with an invitation from the Lord to walk with Him, to obey Him into the valley, to continue with Him when I had nothing, literally, when I thought I was going to die, but the living God, the word of God and the people of God who He sent to walk with me, never let me quit. Song of Solomon is about the Shunamite who started out closed off to love, but ended with a heart that was receiving and giving love like she never thought possible. This is what this season was about.

Tears fell as I learned to trust Him. I did not know at that time those tears were seeds. I never did it for anything but Him. Obedience was the motivation, not a harvest, not a ministry, not money, nothing. Once you really meet Him, really know Him, really see Him, nothing else matters. He is truly all I want, all I ever needed. But now the tears are gone and the joy has come, I smile a lot, I feel alive again and I am thankful for the season of sowing in tears.

Redeeming October

Last month people were commenting on how early people are switching into the next holiday. It used to be we would actually celebrate a holiday in the month it was slated for. An example is we celebrate Christmas in December, Thanksgiving in November, Halloween in October, Easter in April, but it seems as though these holidays have crossed their boundaries and are bleeding into other months. Now if it is Christmas, for some it is okay, but when people spread the October holiday into September some were not happy about it. Comments were made about the decorations they were seeing in stores so early and in people’s yards.

I love how the Lord has an answer for every one of our issues. Many times I wished I would have been mature enough to hear His voice like I do now at a much younger age, but maturity has its benefits and one of those benefits is not only hearing the voice of God but knowing His nature. The nature of God declares everyone is redeemable, so when He looks at something He always finds a redemptive way to deal with it. I wonder if this is why He says He works all things together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose? Nonetheless, He has done it again, He has redeemed October for us.

I asked my son to drive by 202 Church Street in Franklin, TN last night, because when I saw this the other day the Lord spoke to me and said, “Prophesy to the dry bones and tell them to live!” I knew this was God’s answer to many of us who do not celebrate this October holiday. Now everytime I drive or walk past dry bones, I prophesy to them and the people who have them near their house, I say what Yahweh told Ezekiel to say, “Prophesy over these bones and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.’ Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones, ‘Behold, I will cause breath to enter you that you may come to life. I will put sinews on you, make flesh grow back on you, cover you with skin and put breath in you that you may come alive; and you will know that I am the LORD.’” So I prophesied as I was commanded” (Ezekiel 37:4-7). Next time you see dry bones, prophesy!

Release The Dove

We are still in the Feast of Tabernacles week, we are invited to dwell in the shelter of the Most High, but my goodness does the news, no matter where you find it, boy does it shake people with fear. The number of messages I have received this morning about this EBS today and shutting off all my devices, shows me whose voice people heed. Wow, wow, wow. But in true God fashion, His voice got to me before any of these other voices. When God speaks every other voice loses authority, power and ability to produce anything in me, for my Father in heaven spoke first, and here is what He said…

I was awakened first thing this morning to an image of a bird flapping its wings, but it was like a butterfly in gentleness, is what I saw, then I heard the words “RELEASE THE DOVE!” Immediately my spirit says, Genesis 8. I get up, grab my bible and start reading Genesis 8, I mean we are in the days of Noah right, these are the end times, end of an era, so yet again God is speaking in now time. I read Genesis 8 and it says: God remembered Noah; God caused a wind to pass over the earth; the water subsided; the flood was over; and then it says in Genesis 8:8 “Then he sent out a dove from him, to see if the water was abated from the face of the land;” In God’s vernacular “RELEASE THE DOVE”.

God told Noah to release the dove, then 7 days later Noah released it again and it came back with an olive leaf in its mouth. If God is saying RELEASE THE DOVE we have nothing to worry about, the flood is over, we are tabernacling with God, the enemy has been swept away and we are about Genesis 9:1 “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth!” It is the end of the wicked, but it is also the beginning of righteousness building nations. Billion soul harvests being reaped and great exploits being done. God said, “RELEASE THE DOVE” in the week of Tabernacles on the day of the EBS, our God is alive and He speaks in now time, rejoice, the dove has been released.

Rest For The Soul

Look here, no look here, buy this, no buy that, go here, no come here, it is a daily deluge of being pulled in so many directions with so many demands. People turn to yoga so they can get their breath back in the stress of all the storms called life, hoping breathing, stretching, meditating will bring the peace they so desire. Others turn to “spirits” (wine, beer, bourbon, tequila) hoping to relax, hoping to settle down for the stess is too much. Anger is evident on the face of people who are charged politically thinking politics is going to alleviate their stress, so they raise signs, hang banners, twist stories about people, in hopes of getting their candidate in office. The world which is controlled by the devil, his minions and peoples choice to sin really is the perfect storm and it is no wonder people are stressed out.

The Bible tells us we are to be in the world but not of the world. That means we need to be light in the darkness, hope in the midst of much despair and the voice of calm in the midst of raging storms of people’s many opinions. But so many, like Lot, whose righteous soul was tormented by all that was surrounding him in Sodom, are struggling to find fresh air in a polluted world. One of the main tactics of the enemy is to wear down the saints of the Most High. If he can wear you out, he can take you out. That is why Jesus says, come to Me all you who are weary and heavy laden and I will give your souls rest. Breathing techniques, stretching, or other spirits may relax your body, but they cannot give rest to your soul. Only time with Jesus in the secret place can do that. His word is your rest.

Genesis 1:1-2 says, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters.” Fix your eyes not on the formless and void earth, but on the Spirit of God that is moving. He is moving powerfully right now today. Take some time today, everyday and open your Bible, read the word, let it wash you of the filth of the world in which you live and breath life into your weary soul. He is your strong tower, your shelter in the storm, He is your Father in heaven and He is for you, come to HIm and find rest for your soul.

5784 Turning Over Tables

Yesterday I posted a word about 5784 that the Lord spoke to me about the Year of Immeasurably More. Another thing the Lord spoke to me in September about 5784, studying the number 4, was related to a table. One of the words connected with the number 4 in the Hebrew is table, for the fact that it has 4 legs. The Lord spoke to me and said, “I am entering through the “doors” of the temple and I am going to turn over the tables of the money changers again.” I have been sitting on this word, because I say all the time the Lord told me, Babylon, Babylon is falling and this is just another way of saying that, for Babylon is a financial system that has oppressed the nations of the world. But then yesterday a friend of mine, late last night sent me this picture and told me this is not a meme, this is an actual picture on the website USDebtClock.org. (The picture has been removed now) I told her, I haven’t told anyone this, but it is written in my journal the Lord said, “In 5784 I am going to turn over the tables of the money changers in the temple again.” This confirmed for me that I heard clearly.

We have been told a shaking is coming, I have been telling you since 2017 that the Lord said, “Call for the fall of the iron and clay kingdom once and for all (Daniel 2)” and “Babylon, Babylon is falling (Revelation 18)” since 2021. The thing about prophetic words that Johnny + Elizabeth Enlow taught me is “If God tells you the what, He won’t tell you the when, because we are a body and we need each other to see the whole picture.” When Johnny said this on one of his Elijah Streams programs, it set me free from setting a time table on God only to be disappointed because I made one up in my head and then when it didn’t come to pass I was experiencing Hope deffered. Now I just listen and if I get the what, I wait for the when, if I get the when, I watch for the what.

All that to say, when will this happen, all I know is it will happen in 5784, but what is going to happen, how is it going to happen, that I don’t know, but I do know Babylon is falling and when it does it will shake the nations for God is going into the temple of the nations and turning over the tables of the money changers again. I think I hear an echo for 5784.

5784/2024 Year of Immeasurably More

Last month we entered into the Hebrew year 5784 and in a couple of months we will enter into the Gregorian year 2024. Many words have come out about these years being the year of the door, gate, threshold. I agree with all of them and have already experienced doors opening, gates lifting and thresholds being crossed. I would like to add one more word to these words as the Lord said to me, 5784/2024 is the year of Immeasurably More. This language comes from Ephesians 3:20-21 “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.”

I have sat on this word for a couple of weeks now, and the Lord keeps nudging me to put it out there. I am not sure what immeasurably more is going to all entail, but this I do know, it is going to go beyond anything we have ever asked for, imagined or dreamed. We are finite, Yahweh is eternal, so we are about to enter into something we did not see coming. Many have said, we have never gone this way before, and for me that falls into the immeasurably more category.

In order to truly enjoy the year of immeasurably more, we must live with child like wonder. Remember the first time you went to Disneyworld; or your first concert or sporting event. This is going to be beyond all of that. God is glory and HIs glory is awe inspiring. We are going to experience a love of the likes we have never known; we are going to experience a power we have never seen; we are going to experience truth in a way we have never heard. We are going into the immeasurably more and it is going to upgrade our internal operating system in a way that makes us see Him, hear Him and want Him like we never have before. We are in the year of immeasurably more.
