America waits, some agonizing, many glued to the television, watching numbers as the night crawls by slowly. We are waiting the announcement. Who will our next president be?
So too, Heaven waits. Not just for America to choose a president, but a path of life or a path of death. This is the same choice that God holds out to every nation on earth. Heaven awaits your choice earth. Will you choose God or will you choose self? Will you choose Kingdom ways, or man's ways?
Long ago Israel was faced with a similar choice. To have God as their Head, or to choose a King. They wanted a king, so they would be like everyone else. God gave them what they wanted, much to His heartbreak and their own detriment.
"There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." Proverbs 14:12 & Proverbs 16:25
On a mountain top long ago not once, but twice God gave us choices. In
the wilderness He spoke through Moses and said, "See this day I have
set before you, Blessing or cursing, Life or death. Therefore Choose
Life!" Then again on a hill far away stood an old rugged cross... and once again a choice was given. The sacrifice of an innocent man for the guilty. The spotless Lamb of God, to redeem the wretched sinner; ME! And You! All of you!
If you do well, will you not have honour? and if you do wrong, sin is waiting at the door, desiring to have you, but do not let it be your master. Genesis4:7 (BBE)
"Awake awake o sleeper! Time has gone by and it is time to arise! Arise before the Bridegroom cometh! Get thee ready! Prepare your hearts! The deceiver comes to deceive many. Do not be among those found drifting, dozing, asleep at the wheel! Do not be taken in by vain words, swelling lies and promises! Do not listen to men, Listen to ME, says the Lord! I will not lie! I do not lead astray. I have come to show you the way. The way of Salvation. The way of the Kingdom. The way of My Heart! I AM your only refuge. I AM your strong tower! I am your very present help in time of need! The kingdoms of this world cannot save you, cannot keep you. Only I can do that!Return to ME, the Giver of Life, the Giver of all that is Good. Return and be not forsaken, be not barren in the things that matter most! Return to ME, for I am waiting for you."
Isa 55:1 Wait and listen, everyone who is thirsty! Come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Yes, come, buy [priceless, spiritual] wine and milk without money and without price [simply for the self-surrender that accepts the blessing]. [Revelation 21:6, 7; 22:17]
Isa 55:2 Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your earnings for what does not satisfy? Hearken diligently to Me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness [the profuseness of spiritual joy]. [Jeremiah 31:12-14]
Isa 55:3 Incline your ear [submit and consent to the divine will] and come to Me; hear, and your soul will revive; and I will make an everlasting covenant or league with you, even the sure mercy (kindness, goodwill, and compassion) promised to David. [2 Samuel 7:8-16; Acts 13:34; Hebrews 13:20]

Quickened Road Names
Today and yesterday names of roads kept being quickened to me. Their names would stand out to me, and God would whisper scriptures to go along with each name! Here then are those names and scripture and the prophetic word that He gave.
Keepsake Way
Thanksgiving Road
What road are you walking on today and where is it taking you? Are you in going in circles in Grumble Gulch? Are you mired down in Bad Attitude Alley? Are you stuck in a traffic jam on Complaint Corridor? Are you stalled out, frozen on Worry Way? Are you on Prejudice Pallasaides?
Is YOUR heart the MOUNT of the LORD? The place where God will be seen by others?
Keepsake Way
A keepsake is something kept or given as a memento, a memorial, a monument, a remembrance, a reminder, a token, a landmark, a marker, a testimonial or a tribute.
Psalm 23:3 He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for His Name's sake.
His Name is our token, our keepsake to use here on earth. Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit as a testimonial of Himself to remind us, to help us and keep us. Communion is a Tribute to all that HE accomplished for us and is a memorial to remind us of His Shed Blood and
Broken Body to purchase our salvation, healing, restoration, deliverance and freedom!
Thanksgiving Road
Psalm 100:4 (KJV) Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
What road are you walking on today and where is it taking you? Are you in going in circles in Grumble Gulch? Are you mired down in Bad Attitude Alley? Are you stuck in a traffic jam on Complaint Corridor? Are you stalled out, frozen on Worry Way? Are you on Prejudice Pallasaides?
It is time to bust loose! Paul and Silas were beaten, their backs bloody and raw and bodies bruised and sore. Then they were locked up in the inner part of the damp, dark, dungeon! Probably there were rats and bugs in that place. But they had stood tall and spoken the Name of Jesus boldly and they were happy to speak it again, in that place. Not just speak it, but sing it! Worship despite pain, despite conditions, worship instead of complain or cry! And when they sang, God's Presence busted loose all over and not only were their shackles and chains broken off, but the jailer and his whole family got saved! Who ever has gotten saved from hearing a complaint? But you have no idea what is happening in the spirit realm when YOU praise God!
Overlook Drive
1Pe 4:8 (AMP) Above all things have intense and unfailing love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins [forgives and disregards the offenses of others]. [Proverbs 10:12] (WNT) Above all continue to love one another fervently, for love throws a veil over a multitude of faults.
1Co 13:7 (AMP) Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening]. (MSG) Puts up with anything, Trusts God always, Always looks for the best, Never looks back, But keeps going to the end.
Waverly Road
Waverly Road
James 1:5-8 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
Hartmont
Genesis 22:14 (KJV) And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah Jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.
(Jewish Bible)14 Avraham called the place ADONAI Yir'eh [ADONAI will see (to it), ADONAI provides] -as it is said to this day, "On the mountain ADONAI is seen."
Proverbs 23:7 For as he ( a man) thinketh in his heart, so is he...
Matthew 12:35 (MSG) (MSG) A good person produces good deeds and words season after season. An evil person is a blight on the orchard. (AMP) The good man from his inner good treasure flings forth good things, and the evil man out of his inner evil storehouse flings forth evil things.
Is YOUR heart the MOUNT of the LORD? The place where God will be seen by others?
Or is it choked with worry, doubt, fear, prejudice, resentment, judgment and bitterness?
NOW is the time, TODAY if you hear HIS VOICE…THIS is the place to repent, change your mind and your ways, turn around and walk on the Path HE has chosen for you. It is filled with peace and joy and blessing. That does not mean that there won’t ever be hardness ahead, or difficulties to face. It DOES mean that you won’t walk alone, and you WILL be given strength and direction and help along the way!
So, I ask you again, What road are you walking today beloved? Isn’t it time to get on the right road?
Word of the Lord:
Yes Beloved, there are many roads for you to choose. Even as I have said in My Word, there is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end there of leads unto death, so too it is yet true for you. Do not choose in your own understanding. Guard well your heart and the paths that you walk. For I have mapped out a way for you that leads to life ever lasting. It will keep you safe from many dangers, many heart aches that you would otherwise encounter. Wide is the way that the world chooses to go, do not go with them! Narrow is the road, strait is the gate that leads to intimacy with Me. Satan has many obstacles to try to distract and crowd your way. Pay him no mind and give him no say! Pick up your cross for I am the Way, I will teach you the Truth and what to say. I give you Life day by day.
Keep yourself from all that would contaminate and ruinate, instead Meditate! Think on those things that I have already done, think on the victories that have been won. Think, my beloved of My promises to thee, think of how I have set you free!
Choose the High Road of Integrity. Hear the Spirit! Here He bids you to “Come and Walk with Me.”

Who are your Giving Yourself to?
This world picks away at the very centre of your beings... demanding, demanding, demanding... deadlines to meet, rushing, frazzled, people, you go through motions, disconnected and numb.
Zombies, walking around believing you are successful because you have 2 cars, and a mortgage and can meet the demands for more things imposed upon your lives by the marketroids of the advertising gods.
Your kids have nice clothes with brand name labels, and you know some people who know some people...
Why then do you feel so empty and weary at the end of each day? Why do you have no energy to play, to laugh to dream?
"Oh, but I am living the good life! I am living the dream," you say, while your heart is locked a million miles away...
And you give yourself away, to people who don't care, who pay no mind that you're there... you give yourself away, in exchange for things that won't last, for all this world shall pass.
And then at last, your soul shall be required, maybe before you retire...and then what will you find as you leave all this world behind?
As you stand before Heaven's door... will you hear; "depart from ME evermore- I did not know you?" Or will you hear; "enter into the joy of your Lord, and all the Best that Heaven affords?"
The choice is yours, you choose it day by day...to WHOM will you give yourself away?
The same choice was given long ago as MY chosen people before two mountains stood. Life and death, blessing and cursing... good and bad... seems so simple and yet they stood, wavering on which way they should...
Choose Life , Choose ME that was my plea... it is the same I give to thee. Choose life, Choose ME, I hold all the keys to your destiny. Give yourself away to only ME, for I've already given My heart to thee!
Will you sing this song to ME?
