Teachings-Going Deeper In His Ways



Forsake All and Follow Jesus 
September 10, 2018


There is a road that seems right to a man but it leads to destruction. Proverbs 14:12
Beware of missing appointed times and your service to the Lord in order to take care of the needs of others when you have been told to come and follow Jesus. I heard the Lord speak twice about Matthew 8:21-22. And another of his disciples said to him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. But Jesus said to him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
God wants us to care for the needs of our families but we are not to neglect our spiritual calling in the process. We must ask him what we are to do and wait for the answer.  When he conquers the self will life within us then we can expect to be more restricted as to where we go and what we can and can not do. We will then understand that we are his purchased possession and he governs us. He is merciful and gracious and does have good plans for all of his children. We must trust that he will work out all things for the good of those that love him and have been called according to his purpose (not our purpose). Romans 8:28
We are to use wisdom in each situation and be led by Holy Spirit. Ask him to release more wisdom and revelation that you may know and follow his ways. Spend more time in the secret place listening to his voice. Read the bible as his word contains all the answers you need on how to handle difficult life situations. 
We must push onward in what he requires from each of us. We are all members of his body and have been given gifts that are to be used for his purposes. We are in a critical time now and the great harvest of souls is on the Fathers heart!  He needs all of his laborers working in his vineyard.
The Book of Acts Contains a Roadmap for End Time Believers
September 9, 2018

It was a hard road for our early brothers and sisters to walk as no one had gone that way before. They were literally paving out a way, trail blazing and charting a course  for us to learn from and follow. The Apostles and Disciples followed the way of the cross and crucified their self life. 

We can tap into most of what the early church had available to them; however, God is making a new wine skin; doing a new thing and we have never been this way before. We are ushering in the second coming of Jesus Christ. A bride is being made ready for the Lamb. The final harvest, end time tribulation and end time events must all occur as prophesied. It is a critical time for all of Gods children and for the lost souls to be recovered back to the Father through his son, Jesus Christ. The gospel of Christ Jesus will be preached and we must continue to spread the good news to the lost even in times of great persecution. Many will be killed for the testimony of Jesus, and much suffering is to come. Many will be martyrs and find it all joy to lose their life for his glory. However, the latter rain will be greater than the earlier. The power and glory of God will be in and upon his people. We will do greater exploits than those that went before us because of the time that we are living in, great deception and darkness will require it. The enemy will be sending out his people that will be performing counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders that will deceive and mislead many. He will have his false messiah and prophet as it is written in Matthew 24:24: "For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.

How were they operating and overcoming? 

  1. Holy Ghost instruction was available to them. The Holy Ghost counseled them and led them into all truth.
  2. Angelic helpers came and saved them from death, prison, and counseled them in what they were to do next. We are to ask for heavens help.
  3. Prayer meetings. They gathered together in homes and prayed constantly for the brethren and for Gods will to be done.
  4. Times of fasting and prayer are useful when important decisions are to be made, they fasted so they could know Gods will. The church of Antioch fasted (Acts 13:2) and sent Paul and Barnabas off on their first missionary journey (Acts 13:3). Paul and Barnabas spent time in prayer and fasting for the appointment of elders in the churches (Acts 14:23).
  5. Laying on of hands for the Holy Spirit to come to a person. Acts 8:17-19 Then they (apostles) began laying their hands on them, and they were receiving the Holy Spirit. Acts 9:17: So Ananias departed and entered the house, and after laying his hands on him said, "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road by which you were coming, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit."Acts 19:6: And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking with tongues and prophesying.
  1. They performed miracles, special miracles (handkerchiefs or aprons) wonders, and moved in the power of God as diseases departed and evil spirits were cast out of the people. Acts 19:11-12 God did extraordinary miracles through Paul, so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured and the evil spirits left them.
  1. The Prophets were speaking and instructing them. They were warned about things to come such as famine in certain parts of the land. 
  2. A community of believers that helped one another and looked after each other's needs. Believers would take up an offering and help the brethren.
  3. The government leader (King Herod) was struck down by an angel as a judgment by God.



  1. The evil spirits challenged those that did not have the authority from Jesus to use his name, his power and to cast demons out. The apostles and followers had the authority to do this work. There were others that would use the name of Jesus Christ but did not have that right.  Acts 19:13-17 Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon-possessed. They would say, “In the name of the Jesus whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out.” 14 Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this. 15 One day the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know about, but who are you?” 16 Then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding. 17When this became known to the Jews and Greeks living in Ephesus, they were all seized with fear, and the name of the Lord Jesus was held in high honor.
  2. Transported supernaturally from one place to another.
  3. They were in a religious battle and fight for truth. The religious Jewish leaders of the time became their enemies. It will be the same for us. 
  4. Spreading the kingdom of God.
  5. Spoke boldly with courage, no fear. Had Gods favor. 
  6. They rejoiced in the suffering for his great names sake. They suffered prison, stoned, beaten, rescued, and many were killed violently. 
Daughters of Jerusalem
March 1, 2018

A call for intercession- making a bride ready. There is a perfect time to awaken her to His love.  Do not arouse her to LOVE until the time!


Luke 27 And a great multitude of the people followed Him, and women who also mourned and lamented Him. 28 But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

After Pilate had passed sentence of death upon Jesus he was taken out to die upon the cross. A multitude of people followed him to Calvary and within the crowd were "the daughters of Jerusalem" who wailed and lamented him.” Who were these women whose wailing was so loud that Jesus turned towards them in his moment of affliction, to address them specifically, and instruct them? Jesus had an important message to give these women in the very midst of all his physical pain and suffering. He was a friend to the daughters of Jerusalem and they were well acquainted with him. We know that among the women were Mary and Martha who had followed Jesus for many a day [Luke 23:49].  There was no doubt that they loved him with a passion. The women were grief-stricken seeing Jesus in great suffering and betrayed by the Jewish leaders. They lacked understanding of the divine eternal purpose of God. 

Jesus turns and looks at them and invites them to look beyond his moment of suffering. He tells them, do not weep for me! They did not understand that this was why he came. He must be the sacrifice for all sins, be nailed to the cross, die and resurrect so that others may have eternal life. Jesus knows his destiny and he also knows theirs. He is saying to them, there is a nation and a people that need your wailing and lamentations for what is to come. He is calling them to intercession. He invites them to travail and weep for themselves; Israel and the children. They did not know that he will intercede for them once he is seated at the right hand of God.

Today Jesus Christ invites his BRIDE to intercessory prayer alongside him.  
Christ alone is the God-man, and He mediates and intercedes between God and man.
For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.
(1 Timothy 2:5).

Romans 8:34: Who is there to condemn us? For Christ Jesus, who died, and more than that was raised to life, is at the right hand of God and He is interceding for us.

1.      We are charged to "Know the Moment and Time" to awaken and arouse Love. There is a sovereign time set for his Bride. LOVE is his banner over us!
2.      Identity-tell others about their identity as a child of God and how they are to enter into Sonship. He longs for his bride to be his love prisoner, in the prison cell of his eternal love.
3.      Behold he is Coming! He will be coming! It is a promise. He cannot come until the Bride is made ready. A Bride vessel that is made in his "likeness" and image. We are set apart, transformed by his kisses and called to holiness [everything about him fills me with holy desire! ]
4.      The virgin Bride will joyfully endure all travails for him. He is promised a Bride and will have her.  This is my beloved, and this is my friend.
5.      Once she is aroused with the Fathers divine revelation of love in each heart then the Bride of Christ will be ready to arise! She will be in unity and of one Spirit.
6.      A canopy of glory, love, and mercy await for those that ride the chariots of his wind and fire. King Jesus has made a place for us. My beloved is mine, and I am his; He pastures his flock among the lilies. He is the good Shepherd and Bishop of our souls.
7.      Persecution, trials, and tribulations will not deter his bride. We will declare, "I’ve been pierced through by love, and I will not be turned aside." Love for our beloved Jesus is propelling a Bride forward.
8.      His Bride carries the Mighty Flame of the Lord Most Passionate! Fasten me upon your heart as a seal of fire forevermore.
9.      Virgins and the inheritance. We are his inheritance. He takes up our piece of land and we become a garden and spring locked, a fountain sealed, an orchard of fruits and all trees, fragrance of many spices and his fountain of living water. He gathers in his garden and eats and drinks with love.  He is Knocking at the door.
10.  The watchmen beat the Shulamite woman when she searches for him in the city. She does not care as it is more important for her to find her beloved no matter what tribulations come. 

Jerusalem maidens, in this twilight darkness I know I am so unworthy—so in need. Yet you are so lovely! I feel as dark and dry as the desert tents of the wandering nomads. Yet you are so lovely— like the fine linen tapestry hanging in the Holy Place. [TPT]

Song of Solomon 3:5
I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he, please.

Song of Solomon 3:10
He made the pillars thereof of silver, the bottom thereof of gold, the covering of it of purple, the midst thereof being paved with love, for the daughters of Jerusalem.

Pillars of smoke, like silver mist— a canopy of golden glory dwells above it. The place where they sit together is sprinkled with crimson. Love and mercy cover this carriage, blanketing his tabernacle throne. The king himself has made it for those who will become his bride. [TPT]

Song of Solomon 5:8
I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I am sick of love.

Nevertheless, make me this promise, you brides-to-be: if you find my beloved one, please tell him I endured all travails for him. I’ve been pierced through by love, and I will not be turned aside!


Song of Solomon 5:16
His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.

Most sweet are his kisses, even his whispers of love. He is delightful in every way and perfect from every viewpoint. If you ask me why I love him so, O brides-to-be, it’s because there is none like him to me. Everything about him fills me with holy desire! And now he is my beloved—my friend forever.

Song of Solomon 8:4
I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, until he please.
Promise me, brides-to-be, by the gentle gazelles and delicate deer, that you’ll not disturb my love until he is ready to arise.


Song of Solomon 8:6
Fasten me upon your heart as a seal of fire forevermore. This living, consuming flame will seal you as my prisoner of love. My passion [jealousy] is stronger than the chains of death and the grave, all-consuming as the very flashes of fire from the burning heart of God. Place this fierce, unrelenting fire over your entire being.

1.       Song of Songs 8:6 The ancient Hebrew word for “seal” can also be translated “prison cell.” He longs for his bride to be his love prisoner, in the prison cell of his eternal love.
2.       Song of Songs 8:6 Or “jealousy.”
3.       Song of Songs 8:6 The phrase in Hebrew is “a most vehement flame” and is actually two Hebrew words. The first is “a mighty flash of fire,” and the second is “Yah,” which is the sacred name of God himself. The Hebrew shalhebet-yah could be translated “The Mighty Flame of the Lord Most Passionate!”

Where there are Shakings there will surely be Salvations
January 4, 2018

Hebrews 12:26-28 At that time His voice shook the earth, but now He has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but heaven as well.” 27The words, “Once more,” signify the removal of what can be shaken — that is, created things — so that the unshakable may remain. 28Therefore, since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us be filled with gratitude, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.

Heavenly Father, I pray that multitudes upon multitudes of souls would come to you. The lost and those that are lukewarm, serving other Gods and they need to get out from under the false way. I pray that where your shakings happen by your hand, that there will be a mighty harvest out of them. The most important thing is the souls of the people and that they do not die and go into eternal separation from you. We pray for the recovery of souls that already have their names written in the Lambs book of life. I know you are a good Father, a good God. I know you are fair, a God of truth, mercy, justice and righteousness and we can trust and count on you. I thank you that no matter what comes to the planet or nations, right to my front door Lord, the main thing is that Jesus Christ is the head of this house and family. He is our rock and our foundation. Have your way in us, in your people and on this earth. Everything that can be shaken will be shaken just as it is written in your word. May we all be found standing in and upon the Rock, Jesus, hidden in the cleft.  Our eyes set upon the King of Kings, and the Lord of Lords. May we be steadfast in the faith of Christ, in the life of the spirit of Christ. May we be found faithful and worthy to escape the things that shall come to pass before the end and to stand before you. Mighty God, mighty God. Help us O Lord. Help Us! May your people love you, trust you and be all in. Allowing you to have your way and no other way! Just like Peter said, where else would we go, Lord, you have the words of eternal life. What or who else could we turn to? Nothing and no one. Just you Lord. You are our help in an ever-present time of trouble. You have become our strength. Whether we live or die, we will be present with you Jesus. Our blessed hope and assurance of eternal life that awaits us!  
Do everything with the purpose of eternity in mind. 
December 30, 2017 
Do good deeds, encourage others onward and watch out for your Brethren. Pray for one another. Carry Jesus into your daily situations. BE hope and LOVE one another. 



Trees of Righteousness

The believer's life can be compared to a tree that was withered and on its way to death BUT the Lord Jesus came and restored us. He has given us a drink of everlasting living waters. He has become our drink, he has become our food and source of truth. The river, the water, the nourishment that is required to live. He has restored me. He has brought his life force into me. 

Think of it as a tree that was withered and needed the water to live. It was planted beside the river of water but its roots could not touch and reach the water, the river. The LORD says I am your life and strength. The Lord says, if I abide in you and you abide in me,  I am the branch and you are the vine, without me, you can do nothing but in me and through me all things, all things shall be done. All things shall be done! I thank you that I am now like the tree of Lebanon, flourishing beside the river of living waters, I do not bend, I do not break when the wind comes upon me. We can all stand like a tall and sturdy tree that has its roots deep down in Christ Jesus. He is our strength.  

We are rooted and grounded in Christ Jesus, and no weapon formed against us shall prosper. When we are rooted and grounded in Christ Jesus the winds of adversity do not affect us. Our branches will be intact, they will not be broken or snapped off. Only the Lord our God prunes his trees. He will shape us and prune us into his image of his son, the image of our calling, who we were meant to be, the body of Christ. He will get us all there, every single one of us. Be encouraged! We will all stand like trees of righteousness, we will all stand with tall stature. We are the planting of the Lord that he might be glorified. [Isaiah 61:3]. When we produce good fruit we are glorifying our Father in heaven. He planted us, he chose us that we might be his own. 

I declare and decree that his children are trees of righteousness, firmly planted and rooted in Christ Jesus, in the word, in the river of living waters, in the gift of eternal life. We will not be dry and parched any longer. He is increasing his presence inside of his and we will not be dry. Never the same!

Body of Believers Gather NOW and Beware of the Sorcerers
September 10, 2017

The Lord is speaking to me over the past few days that it is now time for the body to come together, in a unity of Spirit and one accord. However, it is also important to not allow those that are like Simon the Sorcerer to enter in with you as they are after the things and power of God and their heart is not after the Person of Christ. Simon was rebuked by the Apostle Peter and told to go and repent. He was not allowed to gather with them in any matter and we should follow the same way. Beware of them.

It is important that the body of Christ be together in this end time battle, as we will encourage one another in the mutual faith AND we will be using our spiritual gifts. Each member of the body of Christ has a spiritual gift to be used in the body of Christ. It is critical now that the body meet and join together in prayer. It can be phone prayer, internet, there are many ways to pray together. The prayer will establish a supernatural shield over the area you are praying at. Use your gifts that the Lord has given to you. 

Romans 1:12
Paul is speaking to the Roman believers as he can not be with them in person. He was praying for them and longed to be with them that he may pour out to them what he carried inside.  I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established that is, that I may be encouraged together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

Acts 8:14-17
Now when the apostles were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God (Philip was in Samaria doing signs and wonders, healing and deliverance, preaching the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ) they sent Peter and John; who when they had come down (from Jerusalem to Samaria) prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost for as yet he was not fallen upon any of them and they were only baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus, 17 then they laid hands on them and they received the Holy Ghost (imparted as a gift of God).

Important point here-The Apostles Peter and John had to go to Samaria and impart the Holy Ghost to the people as Philip did not hold the office of Apostle. There are those that have received the Word of God and accepted Jesus,  baptized in water but they are not born again and filled with Holy Ghost.  

Philip was a disciple among the seven who were full of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, who was chosen by the people of God and appointed by the twelve apostles over the business of daily distribution of food to all people (Acts 6:13, 5-6). Philip went to Samaria and preached Christ with signs and miracles (Acts 8:4-6). This Philip was called an evangelist. (Acts 21:8).

 Bride of Christ, Arise, as the Lord will make you battle Worthy for War! 

The King of the Universe has been speaking to his people that have ears to hear and eyes to see, that are alert and watching for the signs. He spoke through the storm names: Harvey, Irma, Jose, and Katia. There is a War and it is a spiritual battle around the issue of the Bride of Christ. It started with the image of a battle worthy (Harvey) warrior coming to the body of Christ (Corpus Christi). He comes to recover his people out of the false religious and other man-made systems. Be made ready in your heart as the Lord has told us that he will come to his own house first and then deal with the others.  Who is his house? The corporate church is not a structure. It is the individual believers, we are the members of his body and he is the Head. We are called to be the pure virgins that are made ready for the bridegroom and we are the bride of Christ. Storm name 2 is IRMA, means War and Universal. The bride is the vessel that will be used by Jesus to fight the War of all Wars. The end of this age. Storm 3: Jose means God shall give the increase. The bride can expect increase and strength from God during this time of War. Storm name 4 is Katia: pure and virginal. The bride is made up of the virgins, spotless and without blemish.

The bride of Christ is coming together now by Gods sovereign will and move over her.  It will be messy, there will be disruptions (storms and aftermath clean up, rebuilding a new life in Christ) but it will be glorious as we come together in unity and one accord, under his power and rule.  Bride of Christ, arise, as the Lord will come to you and make you battle worthy for War! A battle worthy, pure, virgin.  The bride can expect increase and strength from God during this time of War. 


 Gods Peace and Rest During Storms
November 1, 2017

And suddenly there appeared with the angel a great multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”  Luke 2:13-14

 Glory to God in the highest and peace to his people on earth. There is a guaranteed supernatural PEACE to Gods people on earth. There is a guaranteed REST to His people that bypasses their own mind and human emotions. Jesus declared, Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27

The heart is the center of all physical and spiritual life. The mind is powerful and you become what you think about.

Philippians 4: 6 Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
If you are a believer and live your life in Jesus Christ then you are to be different in the way that you approach this life and its outcome for you and your family. We are not to settle for what the culture of this world does. Why not, you might say? Because the Word of God promises us an inheritance in Christ Jesus that is way better than what the world has to offer us. We are heirs to royalty and children of God.
The Physical Preparation
On September 10, 2017, Hurricane Irma was coming full speed at the state of Florida as a category 4 "Monster" storm. Irma had just devastated many islands throughout the Caribbean and the lower portion of Florida was evacuated. The National Hurricane Center labeled Irma as the most powerful storm ever to occur in the Atlantic. The size of Irma was so enormous that there was no running or escaping its wrath.  There was nothing that anyone could possibly do in their own strength. We were all at the mercy of God. Many people left the state and went to Georgia or Alabama. I had a sibling that wanted to go further north and get away from the path of the storm.  I said, did God tell you to leave the area? If not, you must stay and do not fear. Fear is not from God. The enemy uses fear to get us to run! We only go when God says go; otherwise, we stand and stay. We put all of our hope and trust in him. The Spirit of God was speaking to me and I knew this was a "pre-empt" as to what was to come. The future would hold worse things than this storm. The way that I would choose to act was very important to God. I was told to stay and trust him. I had the majority of items already in supply such as batteries, candles, lanterns, weather emergency radio, and other necessities. I was physically prepared for the storm as 4 years earlier the Holy Spirit started speaking to me about gathering supplies for future emergencies and natural disasters. I was told to gather for many and not just myself so I could share with others in need. I had everything necessary to hunker down and go through the storm. Gods way is to go through and to come out the other end. You do not go alone. He never leaves, he is always with us. I heard him say, Mary, I Am Here. I was meditating on the promises and ways of God in Psalm 34 and asking the Lord to keep me in his peace and rest. I sought the Lord and he heard me and delivered me from all of my fears. Psalm 34:4. Finally, at 4 AM the last severe wind ban moved away from Orlando!  I see a green and blue area on the live radar weather map and above it the outline of a wing and it looks like the outline of an angel! The Lord told me that he was here with me and we have supernatural helpers. The angel of the LORD encamps round about them that fear him, and delivers them. Psalm 34:7.
My Safe Place-A Closet?
The weather experts recommend that you go to an interior room, a closet, and wait until the storm passes. I prepared my closet. I made a bed on the floor and was prepared if the power went out. I had positioned 2 battery operated lanterns for adequate light and had a portable radio set on the local weather and news channel to stay up to date on Irma. I was set. I had a movie picked out and downloaded on my IPAD for entertainment. I went in around 1 am to settle down and I felt so secure, shut up and away from the raging winds outside. I could not sleep and came out of the closet and back into the living room.
It turned out that I never needed the safe place as I stayed up praying through the storm and thanking God for all that he was doing in my life, no matter what the outcome was for me and my loved ones. He was with me. I never lost power, cable or cell phone connection. It was an important spiritual growth time for me as I learned how to enter in to his perfect rest and peace. I learned that we have no control over some things that happen to us in our life but we can always lean on him and trust him to bring us out the other side. I was thankful that I was able to assist several family members that week who did not have electricity. 
Here is the analogy of this entire theme: Jesus is our safe place. We can enter into him and find security, rest and peace. When the storms of life or physical storms are raging around us we need to seek him and his presence.  There is a place of rest that the children of God have access to through Jesus. This is a  supernatural place in the Spirit where one can abide in Him. A place of rest during trouble, war, conflict; whatever, it may be. He is our truly our dwelling place. 

Allow Gods Love to Propel You Forward
June 3, 2017

Matthew 22:37: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. 

John 13:34-35:A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so also you must love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.

1 John 3:10: So now we can tell who are children of God and who are children of the devil. Anyone who does not live righteously and does not love other believers does not belong to God.


Brethren, it starts with loving God first. Make him above all things and people. Ask him to fill you with his love and presence. His perfect love is what we must have. 



 Demons Response to Jesus Christ

“What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me. Matthew 5:7

What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God. Mark 1:24

And demons also came out of many, crying, “You are the Son of God! Luke 4:40 


The Perishing Will Not Understand

"For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God".... 1 Corinthians 1:18 NASB
Physical and Spiritual Training

I was working out and beside me was a fit woman on the elliptical and she had on an ORLANDO CITY sweatshirt that is given to law enforcement. I could see that the woman was pushing beyond herself to gain more endurance. I could see that she is a woman of authority. The LORD was sharing and making a comparison of how a police officer (authority figure) rigorously trains their body to be physically fit and we must do the same. They must train as they understand that a weak body is a hindrance and matters at the time of a life or death situation. They must be ready, alert, and have strength and endurance to run after in a pursuit or away from a suspect. They must be able to pursue and take over their enemy at all times. 

For the children of God, we must have physically fit bodies to go and travel in and out of places and do his work. Also, we are to honor the temple of his dwelling place, our bodies. We need army boot camp training. We must treat our spiritual and physical training as one and the same as they go together. The mind affects the body. We need to press in more than ever, break through any boundaries or limitations that have been set by us or by the enemies lies. We must know our enemy, know our weaknesses and ask Jesus to help us break out and go beyond any limitations. He wants us healed and fit for the battle!  

PREPARE
By Mary Meile
May 22, 2015

I hear prepare. Prepare your soul. Prepare for the glory. Prepare the way. He is coming soon. 

The glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh will see it together for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.

Grace (charis) definition ( Strongs:G5485): that which affords joy, pleasure, delight, sweetness, charm, loveliness: grace of speech. B) good will, loving-kindness, favor: of the merciful kindness by which God, exerting his holy influence upon souls, turns them to Christ, keeps, strengthens, increases them in Christian faith, knowledge, affection, and kindles them to the exercise of the Christian virtues.

Do you have a full understanding of the purpose and measure of God’s grace? Give it some thought today. I am not sure that any of us will ever fully understand this precious and powerful FREE gift. 

In a recent dream I stood observing many people and they were excited and shouting out, “Grace, Grace” and they were thanking and praising God for his grace towards them! They all had a realization of the magnitude of the free gift of Grace and it’s affect and covering over them as they praised and thanked the Giver of the gift. They understood the immediate and eternal value of the gift of Grace; the Life of Christ that lives and dwells within every believer.   The gift of righteousness in life through the one man, Jesus Christ! NOW, we have all power through Christ to overcome the sin nature. Romans 6:14: For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.



The gift of grace reveals the depth and height of the creators love for his creation: a fountain that overflows continuously with love, compassion and mercy. He made an excellent way to bring an end to the law of sin and death that came from the first man, Adam. 

O’ that he would send his only begotten son, Jesus Christ in the manifested flesh to overcome ALL so we would have freedom (now) and eternal salvation. The way of the cross is our heavenly Fathers declaration of his radical and abandoned LOVE towards each of us. May Grace abound. 




Come Out of Carnal Thinking and into Spirit Thinking
                                                            By Sandra Hipley


One day while I was praying and listening to Holy Spirit I heard the Lord say "daughter do you know the difference of carnal thinking and spirit thinking" I said I think so Lord but please run it by me again...The Lord then began to give me a down load of knowing the difference of carnal thinking and kingdom thinking. He told me that when I try to figure things out on my own and try to come up for a solution on my own thats carnal. He said before I was saved I used to walk like I had complete control. I would make my own designs and make my own plans for what the day was going to bring for me and my family. I would get up and get ready and not call on the father to lead me through out the day. I was a mess, and I thought I had it all under control. The Lord then told me that for every action there is a cause and that my actions to what is going on around me is what the final outcome will be. If I choose to think and act it out like I did in the past it just wont work. Sure I might think its working but really I'm walking against the current and its getting me know where. If I act out to a situation like I did before I was saved that is the carnal nature. If I act out against a situation with Christ in mind that is the new creation in me, the spirit of Christ within me. The Lord said try to recognize every moment and see if its a carnal response or the Holy Spirit response. A good way to know if you acting in the carnal is to check your response. Is it like the old man before you got saved or is it out of love and peace that you react. I began to apply this to my life and it has caused me to do a complete turn around on the way I used to handle a matter and on the way I love others. My prayer for you is to try this out and allow the Holy Spirit to respond through you and let go of the past way of thinking and responding. I have included five steps to defeat the Carnel way by brother Greg Neil of Seagoville Church of Christ.

While the spirit is willing to overcome carnality, the flesh is weak. How then can we cure carnality? In James 4:6-10, we see five ingredients needed to remove carnal thinking from our lives. The key ingredient is Humility. "God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble." (James 4:6) "Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will lift you up." (James 4:10) Christ defeated carnal thinking by becoming humble (Philippians 2:6-8). Jesus taught that the greatest in the kingdom would be servants (Matthew 23:11).

The second ingredient is Submission to God. Words that describe submission include meekness, obedience, humility and selflessness. When we submit to God, we die to self (Galatians 2:20). We submit to God’s will and not our own (John 6:38). Submission to God gives us the freedom to please Him.

Next, we must Resist the Devil. Peter warns us about our adversary in 1 Peter 5:8-9. John describes Satan as the "father of all lies" (John 8:44). It is interesting to note that resisting Satan will cause him to flee from us.

Fourth, we need to Draw Near to God. This implies action on our part. We draw near to God through prayer, through study of God’s word, through worshipping God in spirit and truth, through the fellowship of the saints, and by living the Christian life. If we draw near to God, He draws near to us.

Fifth, we must Repent. Repentance is defined as a change of heart that leads to a change of life. In Luke 13:3-5, Jesus said unless we repent, we would all perish. In Paul’s great sermon we learn that God requires all people to repent (Acts 17:31). Carnality can not be overcome without godly repentance.

In Titus 2:12, we are admonished to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts and to live soberly, righteously and godly. John commands us to love not the world and the things of the world (1 John 2:15-17). In Galatians 5:16-26, we are taught to walk according to the Spirit and not the flesh. What drives us? The desire to please self through the flesh or the desire to please God through the spirit.

~ Greg Neill






Job 33: 14-18  For God speaks in one way, and in two, though man does not perceive it.  In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, while they slumber on their beds, then he opens the ears of men and terrifies them with warnings, that he may turn man aside from his deed and conceal pride from a man; he keeps back his soul from the pit, his life from perishing by the sword.

Move of Deliverance, Freedom and Provisions

by Mary Meile

There is a large warehouse buried high and filled to the top with provisions. There are workers inside. I enter inside and watch a man kick something that was lit up like a light towards the water, the light object leaps over obstacles in the way and touches down at the edge of the water. I see Tomas who runs the abolitionist movement against human trafficking at the edge of the water and he is smiling at me. I hear someone say, “the intercessors will take all the ground.” I feel like I should stay here and camp out.

This dream is about a movement of deliverance that God has already kicked off and will go to the nations.  It is about the Spirit of the LORD setting the captives free. It also speaks about prayer intercessors having every provision, abundance, to take the ground back for the Lord.  

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty [emancipation from bondage, freedom] 

Isaiah: 61:1. The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound.
The Earth and All His Creatures
by Mary Meile

Psalm 24:1: The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it. The world and its entire people belong to him.

Romans 1:20: For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.

The earth is His and ALL belongs to him.  His created earth was formed with every provision needed for man and beasts of the earth and the fowls of the air, every living creature upon the earth and within the vast oceans.  The ecological system is his system, made in a perfect order. The seasons are all established by his Wisdom: winter, spring, summer and fall.  The land has a time to rest and then she will bring forth her beauty and majesty. His nature is seen in everything.

Daily I sit and watch the river water come in upstream and flow outward as the day progresses. The water has a perfect order that it follows daily. I observe the geese outside as every day they come and do the same thing. They gather in the water or on the surrounding land where they are at perfect peace, ease, and trust.  They have a perfect order. They never lack food and daily they go out and search.  

The Father, Creator of all things has established a perfect order in planet earth and within each of our body and souls. The earth will produce and provide for all of his created beings. The fowls of the air, animals and all living creatures are expecting to have their daily provision. I am sure it does not even come to their mind that they will lack. 

Why can't we be confident; after all we are made in the image of our God? How much more should we be found trusting and relying on our heavenly Father? Is it because humans believe a lie that we are separate from God? That we cannot have access and be close to him until we die and leave planet earth? Is this why we try to do everything in our human strength and by our own self? 

Jeremiah 17:5-6: This is what the Lord says:

“Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who draws strength from mere flesh and whose heart turns away from the Lord.6 That person will be like a bush in the wastelands; they will not see prosperity when it comes. They will dwell in the parched places of the desert, in a salt land where no one lives.

The scripture says to trust in the Lord. Believe that he wants to provide for you and seek him out. Will the Father not provide for us as he does the geese and sparrow? How much more will he do for us, his beloved children! Be encouraged in the Lord. If you lack today, tell him what you are lacking. Ask him to be your provider and sustainer. Give the need over to him and allow him to provide for your daily needs. Trust him. Wait on him.


7 “But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. 8 They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”


 Evil and Wickedness are All Around Us. God shows us the way we are to respond. by Mary Meile


King David prayed to the Lord in Psalm 36 about the evil doers and those around him that were wicked. Psalm 37 is a response from God to David and we can also apply these ways to our daily lives.

  1. Do not “fret” or “worry” about the evildoers because of what they are doing. Do not envy against the workers of iniquity.
  2. Trust in the Lord
  3. Do good.
  4. Delight yourself in the Lord. {Keep your eyes on him and his word and ways}.
  5. Commit your way to God. {Let him lead you}.
  6. Trust His way and he shall bring it to pass.
  7. Rest in the Lord.
  8. Wait patiently for Him.
  9. Do not worry or fret about those that are prospering around you in their wicked devices.
  10. Cease from anger.
  11. Forsake Wrath
  12. Fret or worry not yourself to do any evil.
  13. Wait upon the LORD and you shall inherit the earth and abundance of peace.
  14. Show mercy to others and give.
  15. God orders your destiny, so delight in him.
  16. Depart from Evil and do good.
  17. Keep his ways, the Kingdom ways.



A Reflection of God's Heart and Ways  by Mary Meile
A teaching from 1 Kings and 2 Chronicles


1.      God wanted the Kings of the earth to seek him out. He desires for our leaders and each of us individually to seek him out and allow him to counsel and lead us. 


2.      God wanted them to replicate a heart of David towards him. A heart of obedience and love. The commandment says to love the LORD your God with all of your heart, mind, soul and strength! It is the same today. He desires that we love him with all that we have within us.


3.      God wanted the people to repent and be humble before him and recognize that he is righteous in all of his ways and judgments. There are things that we do not understand all of the time; however, we can always trust God to rule over us with love, truth, justice, and righteousness.


4.      God grants a reprieve when we repent and he always recognizes a humble heart. No wrath; but deliverance.  (2 Chronicles 12-he turned from wrath).


5.      God despises rebellion! Satan rebelled against God and was cast out of heaven. He is a God of perfect order and rebellion is dis-order and chaos. He is the creator of all things and to rebell against the creator is foolish.


6.      We will always prevail when we rely upon God. That means that we can not rely on our own efforts when doing things. We trust in him always and especially when things look different from the worlds perspective.


We also learn from the teaching that a good and righteous leader will:

1.      Command the people to seek the Lord God and to follow his ways, truths, and laws (principles, standards).


2.      Rid the land of idols. This means that false gods and their teachings should not be established in our land. America was established as one nation under God-Jehovah. All other gods should not be entertained by His people.
The teaching also shows us that the Lord will:

1.      Give us rest from war (we will live in peace) when we follow his ways.

2.      Provide for us so we can prosper and build.  



Show Me Your Salvation LORD!

by Mary Meile
Isaiah 12:2
Behold, God my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH [is] my strength and [my] song; he also is become my salvation.


Behold El (strong, mighty one) my Yeshua, I will trust (be bold and secure in his confidence) and not be afraid (tremble or turn in fear to another): for Ya Jehovah, my strength (might and power) and my song (praise); he also is become my salvation (Yeshua). 


Salvation-that which is delivered safe!

Take a look at ALL salvation means (from the concordance) to you:


a) welfare (health), prosperity (prospering soul, body and Spirit)

b) deliverance-freedom and liberty

c) salvation (by God) saved from moral troubles (sin)

d) victory-to be saved in battle, the enemy is defeated

If you have received Jesus as your Lord and savior then you have salvation as he has purchased and redeemed you by his blood. You have the promises of salvation and ALL that it carries.

I think about the hour Jesus was in the garden and the powers of darkness were weighing so heavy upon his soul and body that he was sweating drops of blood! Can you imagine the entire force of darkness and evil (sin) of the entire world baring down upon you. I am so thankful that Jesus Christ went to the cross and defeated the enemy of our souls. We have victory in and through him. We not only have salvation but we are to walk out our salvation with fear and trembling!
Are you taking all of what belongs to you? Jesus paid the price so you could have it all. Are you walking in good health and is your soul and mind prospering? Are you delivered from past hurts and wounds and strongholds of the mind that try to keep you from receiving freedom and taking all that is your inheritance in Christ Jesus?  Has your life and character changed for the better and you are loving others and allowing Christ to live through you? If not, start today! 



A Call to Repentance Joel 2:12-13
February 12, 2011 by Mary Meile
When you make time to be with the Lord and enter in with a heart of humility for his heart and mind; expect him to show up. It is such a humbling and beautiful experience to be in his presence and to FEEL how his heart aches for his children. He wants to fill us up with Him and He is love. We are called to be a blessing to others as we take Him from person to person and place to place! We become that bright light and hope in a world of darkness. I was reading in the book of Joel during prayer time when passages 2:12-13 jumped out at me. Suddenly, I cried and wept as the Lord allowed me to feel His heart regarding this matter. I said LORD you are just asking for man to love you and to rend their hearts to you! Why won’t they willingly do that LORD? Why won’t we say that we are sorry Lord for putting things ahead of you, for not loving you with all of our heart, mind, and strength. Why are we so ready to trust the worldly and willing to render our hearts to others that may trample or betray us? You are our Father God, Creator, Redeemer, and Savior, in you we trust. The scriptures are his. Let us render our hearts to him wholeheartedly as He deserves ALL of us. Amen.
That is why the Lord says,
“Turn to me now, while there is time.
Give me your hearts.
Come with fasting, weeping, and mourning.
13 Don’t tear your clothing in your grief,
but tear your hearts instead.”
Return to the Lord your God,
for he is merciful and compassionate,
slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.
He is eager to relent and not punish.

Have You Exchanged Your Soul for the Pleasures of the World?
By Mary Davis Meile

Part 1 of a 3 part series


Can we be certain that we have not exchanged our souls for the pleasures of this world and that the Father’s love is in us? What does it mean that in order to save our lives we must be willing to lose it and follow Jesus? How do we deny ourselves and walk the way of the cross daily when we are surrounded by such enticing pleasures that are constantly seducing us away from God and his biblical principles? What can we do to make certain that our LORD will not be ashamed of us? The word of God has the answers.


There are those that say I am happy and content now and God is always there for me when I have a need, then I reach out to him. Some say, God knows my heart and he understands that I do not have time to pray or fellowship with him as I am busy going to school or making a living and providing for my family, he understands, he waits on me. Others even say that God wants them to be happy here on earth and enjoy all the pleasures that the world offers, they say it is not necessary to be all wrapped up in serving the LORD and others. If you have any of these mindsets listed above, this message is for you!


Let us see what scripture has to say. James 4:4: Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. We see in James 4:4 that friendship with the world is enmity (an enemy) with God. We are in a covenant relationship with our God and he see’s how we interact and the choices that we make daily. If our eyes are on the lusts and pleasures of the world then we are walking in disobedience and called adulterers! Wow, we are seen as cheating on God and he is jealous for our love and attention. If you want him then you must desire him and his ways before anything else.
 Mark 8:34-38: And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.


1 John 2:15-17: Love NOT the world, neither the THINGS that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is NOT in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that does the will of God abides for ever.

The church (bride) of Christ Jesus is in a great time of seduction and distress. We, the believers and follower of Jesus Christ are the children of God and make up his spiritual church. The children of God have been following after the things of the world, exchanging our souls for the worldly lusts and pleasures, and losing sight of what Jesus said about how to act and live among the world. Jesus said that his followers are not to be taken out of the world but they are to be separated from the many things and distractions of the world. The world had nothing to offer Jesus Christ or those that follow after him and his ways.      
To be continued..................

Part II-Have You Exchanged Your Soul for the Pleasures of the World? By Mary Meile

There is no doubt that the world and its pleasures are seducing the children of God away from the gospel of Christ Jesus. Many are so wrapped up in “other things” that they do not have time for God or his ways any longer. I could give an exhausted list of these things; however, I will list a few top distractions that I see hindering and seducing our time and our children’s time: social networking sites such as Facebook, My Space, Twitter, the many new hand held gadget phones with constant internet connection, mini hand held computers and of course, text messaging! Have you noticed that everywhere you will see people with phones in their hands? Have you noticed how these social networking sites are encouraging you to link your phones to their sites so you can chat and follow along every second! How about the world of entertainment, games, movies and DVDs and television shows that we just can not miss! A world of constant noise and chatter! Do you have any quiet time to be still and to listen to God? Are all of these things bad? No, what I am saying is that these become hindrances if they are controlling your life and time. Only you can know by comparing how much time you spend in each of these areas and how much time you are spending with the LORD. Which one gets more of your attention and time? There is your answer.


What is meant by 1 John 2- 15-17 ? How do we live in the world and not love the world or the things in the world? Let us see how we can be seduced by a lie. Love not the world neither things in the world. Love not -this means to not be pleased and content with something. The meaning of WORLD in the concordance follows: world affairs, the aggregate of things earthly, the whole circle of earthly goods, endowments, riches, advantages, pleasures, lusts, etc, which although hollow and frail and fleeting, stir desire, seduce from God and are obstacles to the cause of Christ. As Christians we are called to love God first and not to set anything (idols) else above him. We are to find pleasure, contentment, and joy in our relationship with a living God and not in these other things. The gadgets and many pleasures are enticing to us; however, they are frail and will pass away. Our identity and purpose is secure in God and will never pass away. We were created to fellowship with him, he loved us first.

Jesus saw and spoke about the many obstacles. Did you know that when you allow the worldly things to seduce you away from God that you are denying him and walk in disobedience? The passage below states that the devil is the spirit that works in our hearts to disobey God. Read what the Apostle Paul said to the disciples in Ephesians 2: 1-2 (NLT): Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins. You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil—the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God.

You are a child of God and are called to seek after him and keep your eyes on the heavenly things above and not of this fallen world. You have to choose to love the Father and his ways or to seek the ways of the worldly pleasures and lusts. Now we know that Satan has rule over our world for now and he is the Father of Lies. He seeks to kill, steal, and destroy us! As children of God we are Satan's enemies. Therefore, he looks for ways to distract us and keep us from seeking a relationship with God. If we are not strong in our walk with the LORD then we are weak and vulnerable, we will stumble and FALL.

I write to all of my brothers and sisters that have professed that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of God and was sent into the world by the Father. Those believing that Jesus died for our sins on the cross, resurrected from the dead, and is now seated at the right hand of the Father until his coming back again. 1 John 2:21-23: I am writing to you NOT because you do not know the truth, but because you KNOW it and that no lie is of the truth. Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist that denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son, the same has not the Father: But he that acknowledges the Son has the Father also. Verse 26: These things I write unto you concerning them that try to seduce you away from the truth and gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Part III-Have You Exchanged Your Soul for the Pleasures of the World? By Mary Meile
We are called to be the light of the world. We must start with the church which is us! When you gave your life to Christ Jesus you immediately separated from the world and surrendered your life to him. You became a new creation in Christ Jesus, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come. (1 Corinthians 5:17). You were born again, awakened in a spiritual sense and the old you, your old ways and desires begin to dissolve and fade away. Some of you are spiritually asleep and the seed of God is lying dormant within, waiting to be watered and spring forth a new life. You have the power to change right inside of you. The word says that it is not by might, not by power, but by the Spirit that we can do all things in Christ Jesus. The anointing of the Holy Spirit which you have received of him abides in you and you do not need any man to teach you: but as the same anointing teaches you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it has taught you, you shall abide in him. You receive this truth by the unction of the Holy Spirit. A tug on your heart or a nudging in your soul, a word that drops in your mind and you know that you are not to continue on or it will lead you into sin, disobedience to God.


It is time to STOP living like you belong to the world. Jesus said to the Father that we (believers, Christians, the children of God, saints, church, the lamb’s bride) are not of the world, even as Jesus was not of the world. The world is fallen. That means it is filled with lies, deception, evil, darkness, lusts, wickedness, and the pride of man. It is filled with distractions and enticements that are meant to divert us from a relationship with our divine creator, our source of life, the true and living God. The majority of us are making choices to fill our lives with so many things that we no longer have time to seek his face. We end up not following the biblical mandates and principles of a Christian life; instead we conform to society and run after the worldly ways and things. We begin to believe the lie that we are here in the world so We may satisfy our own selfish desires and prosper in our ways!

The word of God says that Jesus spoke the word given to him from the Father and the world hated him and those that followed him, because they were not of the world, even as Christ was not of the world. In the book of John Chapter 17 Jesus prayed to the Father asking him not to remove the disciples from the world but rather to keep them from all evil in the world. We are living in the world but are not to be conformed to the world. We are here to shine the light of God in a fallen world, to go forth and do his kingdom work and the great commission: preach the gospel and lead souls to eternal life, care for the poor and widows, anoint the sick and pray, cast out demons, raise the dead, do signs and wonders and miracles in the name of Jesus to demonstrate the power of God. We are to follow and be doers as our model Jesus did and bring the Father honor and glory, not man and certainly not ourselves.

I see more and more Christians being enticed and conformed to the ways of the world. What do I mean by that? Take a survey of your life and see where you are spending your time. Are you living a life devoted to God first and others second? Do you spend time reading the scripture, praying for others, testifying who Christ Jesus is: the way to the Father, the truth, and life? Are you taking time to run after God and ask him to show himself to you so you may know him and his ways more intimately? Do you surrender your life to him no matter what the cost? That means you have to give up control and let Jesus take the lead in your life and trust him to care for you and your household. It is not easy to totally surrender and walk the way of the cross but the reward and results are beyond measure. We do experience trials but the LORD is always there to lead us through and we come out being more refined into his image and we go higher up on the spiritual ladder. He does reward those that diligently seek him. He has given us so many promises and he is faithful even when we are not. He can not deny himself. He is too wonderful for words. Be blessed and seek the Lord today with all of your heart and soul! He is waiting for you.


What Defines You? by Mary Meile

There are times that we think we have everything figured out regarding our life and future. Then along comes a situation and it becomes obvious that we really had no control at all. Before the LORD Jesus came into my life I was very successful by the standards of our society. You know what I mean by the standards: work and education define who you are, more is better than less, borrow and build as much as you can, possess more, seek after more money and you will be happy, love entertainment and all the things that the world has to offer.

Approximately 18 months ago my entire life and priorities changed. I gave up everything that was holding me hostage. I am in a much better place of rest now as I walk with the LORD. I can see that less is better. I am no longer defined by the work that I do; however, what I now do helps define the lives of others. The time that I spent trying to be successful through my work is now time spent with the Lord, my family, and my new friends! My priorities have totally shifted.

I was speaking to my sister Sandra the other day as we were discussing the meaning of walking in the spirit and not the flesh. That means that we look at things through the eyes of the LORD and not man’s eyes. I said to her, “you know, in the eyes of the world we are failures”. She said, yes, I know. We laughed and rejoiced! Why rejoice, because in the eyes of the Lord Jesus we have overcome the things of this world.

How about you? What are you seeking after and what are you spending your time on? Something to ponder and think about. Blessings. 







Jeremiah 51:20:  You are my battle ax and weapons of war: for with you will I break in pieces the nations, and with you will I destroy kingdoms.

A call to all warriors to pray and set the foundation, push back the enemy, break in pieces those things that come against the will of God. Take back the land; cleanse it with the sound of worship and praise and thanksgiving to our living God.

Exodus 14:14: The LORD shall fight for you and you shall hold your peace.

1. Set up a standard in the Land. Mobilize the people (prayer warriors and saints) to take back the land, rise up, and raise up our battle flag! Bring back the biblical principles to our land. Establish a standard of Christ Jesus in this nation.


2. Blow the trumpet among Nations. This is a call to arms, join together with other believers and declare that we are ready to take back our land. 


3. Prepare the Nations. Preparing the bride of Christ to know the ways of the enemy and his schemes. Equip them with the tools and resources they need to discern in the spiritual sense and identify strongholds.


4. Call the kingdoms together. Call forth other nation leaders and saints to stand with us. The bible also tells us to ask for supernatural helpers; those ministering spirits (angels) and the mighty warrior angels.


5. Appoint a Captain. Every successful army has a captain in charge. Be that captain. Take charge today and start a call to prayer in your own region. It is as simple as opening your home and inviting saints in to pray. The LORD will be faithful and lead you where he wants you to focus on.  


6. Prepare against her the Nations with Kings, captains, and rulers. We come against the enemy by preparing and knowing every need that is set before us. We come in authority and power from the LORD Jesus Christ. We must begin by understanding what is lacking within our families, communities, corporate church, body of believers, and our own nation so we can pray and ask for divine intervention. It is important to identify those areas where we have an abundance or overflow, be a blessing to others and always give thanks to the LORD.

End Time
 April 9, 2012   Mary Meile
In accordance to the word of God, there will be a day of reckoning for all souls! There will be a reaping and harvest of souls. We will all experience a physical death. The bible speaks about a judgment day for all mankind after we die. Where will you stand on that day? My hope and prayer is that we will all be standing with truth and righteousness in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ. If you are not walking with the Lord and are letting other things distract you from seeking him out, I beg you to stop now and change your ways. Time is running out and we must seek the Lord with all of our heart while he may still be found! Think beyond this earthly realm and keep your eyes on the heavenly things. Satan is real and he wants your soul. He sets out every day to kill, steal, and destroy our lives. You have the power to stop him by your actions and choices that you make.
Encourage one another, go forth and proclaim the gospel of salvation and eternal life! Save a soul today by reaching out and telling them about Jesus Christ. Start with your family and then your friends, co-workers, and strangers. It is time to take back souls for the Kingdom of God.


Take Every Thought Captive-Weigh It Against Gods Ways

The battle against our soul always starts in the mind. We are told to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ Jesus. 

2 Chronicles 10:5: Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.

As you begin each day it is imperative that you take a minute to reflect upon what you are thinking. Establish first thing in the morning where your thoughts will be directed and your day will take on that direction. 

Do you begin the day with good thoughts and intentions for others? Do you begin the day with negative thoughts towards yourself or others? 

If you want to overcome the negative thoughts and feelings that might be festering up, focus on Jesus Christ and his ways. Take a minute to declare his word over you and bless others. 

Judge your thoughts, compare them against the ways of God. Do they bring life, freedom, happiness, joy, love, and peace? Are they kind, full of mercy and grace? Are they truth? If not, change them immediately and overcome!    


May 19, 2011                         There is Power in the Blood of Jesus 
by Sandra Hipley

There is power in the blood of Jesus and we must learn to use it in our daily life. How is this to be done you ask? Well, first let me explain to you how important the blood of Jesus is for us believers. In scripture we find many passages that speak of the spotless lamb that was slain. It says in Isaiah chapter 53 ver 7  He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth. For the life of the flesh is in the blood … for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.” (Leviticus 17:11) “For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.” Matthew 26. So we can see from the beginning to today the blood was used to cleanse all from sins. In the days of the temple the sacrifice of animals played the part of cleansing. And today the precious blood that was shed on Calvary is the way to eternal life. Many believers do not know how important it is to cover all your family with the blood on a daily basis. The blood covering is very important to keep the attacks of the enemy away from us. You see the devil knows that it was by the blood that Jesus won the world back from his hands. He knows that it was very important for a spotless lamb to be the one who defeated his kingdom here on this earth. Now that we have Christ in our hearts, we are to apply his blood on all that belongs to us. Here is an example of how to pray and cover yourself in the blood. I always start my day and night off with this prayer. Father, I plead the blood of Jesus over my mind and my body. I plead the blood of Jesus over my daughters mind and body. I plead the blood over our house, and property this house sits on. I plead the blood on everything that is in this house. You can apply the blood to your cars, your jobs, on your animals. Yes, I said animals because the enemy will use whatever he can get into and animals are a sitting duck if not prayed for daily like yourself. Always apply the blood of Jesus as soon as you get up, and the moment you lay down. Remember, your enemy is roaming around looking for whom he can devour. Now, here is a dream that I had in the 1980's that the Holy Spirit revealed to me about the power of the blood of Jesus. I was in this house in a bedroom and I was getting ready for bed. In the bedroom was a large window that looked out to the yard. I was getting dressed and I turned around towards the window. I looked out of the window and before my eyes I saw what looked like a monkey? I got closer to the window and there it was, I saw a spider monkey who had a face of a human. He was watching me, and it made me mad so I ran outside and chased him. As I was chasing him down this long road, I was yelling " In the name of Jesus I rebuke you" And I was saying it over and over. The monkey after awhile turned around and looked at me and said, " you can rebuke me all you want, but its by the blood! Well, as soon as I had that dream I woke up and I knew the Lord allowed me to see and learn about his blood! Take the blood today dear brother and sister and start applying it to your very life, it works. Blessings, sister Sandra

A call to rise up in Rank
By Sandra Davis Hipley
January 31,2011


There are many ranks in a Army, lets take a look at the list first before I go any further.

1. Private 2. Specialist 3. Corporal 4. Sergeant 5. Warrant Officer 6. Second Lieutenant 7. First Lieutenant 8. Captain 9. Major 10. Colonel 11. General of Army

You may be thinking now why am I writing about army ranks. The Lord spoke to me a couple of days ago and told me to let the Church know it is time to move up in rank.

For too long we have been in the rank of the soldier or should I say the Private rank. The Lord is saying to the body of Christ, it is time to advance in ranks. In the hour that we live in, we as the Church can not continue on this level if we want to be active in this War that we are in. Just like in the natural world, men and women who enlist in active duty serve out their time and move up in ranks as the time is served.

In the spiritual this is true also, and is very important for the Church to understand and get a hold and begin to take a part of. So many of us are mature in the spirit and are no longer babies but yet we are still wearing the rank of a soldier in our prayer closet, and in our walk. The Father wants us to rise up and take our new ranks in the mighty war that we are in. We can no longer live as soldiers in a active military battle. The Army of God needs Specialist, Corporals, Sergeant's, Warrant Officers, First and Second Lieutenants, Captain's, Majors, Colonel and Generals! To run an effective military attack against the enemy.

I would ask you to pray and ask the Father what rank he wants to put you in and move up accordingly. I would also ask you to seek the Fathers face and ask him how to use your new role in his kingdom. How to live in active duty for his kingdom here on this earth. I believe once we all begin to take our stand and move up in ranks the body of Christ will begin to grow up. What I mean by this is, there will be no more division amongst the body of Christ. We will all be together as one, as members of this great Army on this Earth. We can no longer stand alone doing what we want when we want. This is the stagnant stage of a Private or baby in Christ. We must work together, join together like true military men and women to be effective.

Remember we are no longer babes in Christ; however, there are new baby Christians in the body of Christ. For us that have grown up in the Faith, we need to take a stand in our rank and be a leader to those who have not yet come up to the completion of their time to advance in ranks. We are in the last day battle and the Father is saying wake up and move up. It is time for my Army of Saints to move up in ranks and fight  in the rank I have called you to be in. I pray today that we all take heed to this and go before the Lord to ask and move up in rank to be ready for this great battle we are in.

The Church now more than ever is in a struggle for its life, do we as children of the most High God sit back and just watch it fall apart or get on board and take our places. We must be willing to grow up and move up in these last days to be the bride Christ is coming back for.

In 2 Timothy ver 3 and 4 it says: Endure hardships with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus, no one serving as a soldier gets involved in civilian affairs, he wants to please his commanding officer. We must put our differences aside and move up in ranks as one body in Christ this is a must and my prayer for us all.

Be blessed, Sandra


God's Armor-Christian Warfare
by Mary Meile

The Apostle Paul explained in the book of Ephesians 6:11-17 the importance of putting on the whole armor of God daily to be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. The devil seeks to kill, steal, and destroy our lives and our loved ones! We need our spiritual armor to enable us to be well equipped to fight against spiritual wickedness in high places.

When I awaken in the morning the first thing that I do after praising the Lord is to put on the full armor of God: helmet of salvation, breastplate of righteousness, belt of truth, feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Here is an example of putting on a piece of armor.

Begin at the top with your head and place on the helmet of salvation: Place the helmet of salvation on your head and speak back the word of God out loud. I bind my mind to the mind of Christ Jesus as it is written that I have the mind of Christ Jesus. I incline my ears to the word of God, the Lord Jesus said, "my sheep know and hear my voice and follow me". I set my eyes on the things above and not the things of this world, seeking the kingdom of God first, I ask that my nose and senses be enhanced for more spiritual discernment, and lastly I choose to speak life and not death. May my mouth speak forth words that are lovely, pure, noble, trustworthy, and truth. May I edify others through my words and show the love of Christ Jesus as I speak. I thank the Lord for my helmet of salvation and for his covering. Then I move to the breastplate of righteousness and speak forth the word.

Continue through each piece of armor and look for scripture to speak over you as you go through the process. Be blessed!

Establish a Daily Routine
1.     Make God first, then others, and you are last.
2.     Schedule a specific time EVERY day to communicate with God. 
3.     Pray and read the word of God daily. 
4.     Put on the full armor of God before you leave your home.

6.     Give thanks to the Lord for all things. For example, thanksgiving for each meal, your family, health, home, and job. Even when you suffer and endure trials, continue to rejoice in the Lord. Press in and remain steadfast.  
7.     Speak a kind word to others and share a smile. You will even feel better!
8.     Begin and end your day with a prayer to the Lord Jesus. Let him know how much you love him and want to be his child and walk in his love. He will respond.
