His Word is His Will. His Character is flawless. His Love Unchanging. His Desire is for You to draw close to Him, trust Him, love Him, know Him intimately. Cast off all hesitation. When Moses dared to ask Him, "show me Your Glory Lord," HE replied, I will put you into the cleft of the rock and show you MY Goodness.
Jesus is that rock. The cleft is His side where the spear was thrust and out poured water and blood. He has poured out His Spirit. He shed His Blood to buy us back and to purchase every blessing that Father God originally intended for us to walk in. God Put us into the Cleft of The ROCK HIS SON Christ Jesus, to SHOW us His Goodness. The Book of Romans tells us God's goodness leads men to repentance.
I tell you now, repent and turn from your idols, your idleness, your fearfulness and faithlessness. Be believing! Start receiving and walk in relationship with the Eternal God who has never given up on you!
Show me Your ways
That I may walk with You
Show me Your ways
I put my hope in You
The cry of my heart is to love You more
To live with the touch of Your hand
Stronger each day
Show me Your ways!

No Other Name
No other Name but the Name of Jesus...
No other Name but the Name of the Lord...
No other name but the name of Jesus...
is Worthy of Glory, and Worthy of Honor
And Worthy of Power and all Praise!
And Worthy of Power and all Praise!
There are many names out there. And they are all screaming and demanding our attention. Let's see we have, Old age, social insecurity, islamic terrorists who hate us and the Jewish people, simply because we exist! We have economic melt down, war, famine, earthquakes, nuclear threat, aids, alzheimer's disease, stroke, cancer, bird flu, swine flu, murder, rape, violence, civil unrest... the list goes on and on. (And I purposely did not capitalize them.) All these things have a name. Their name can invoke varying degrees of anxiety, fear or downright terror into people. And it is meant to! Fear, manipulation, domination, control and isolation and shame are main tactics the enemy uses, and he uses people to work through
to implement them.
Revelation 12:11 tells of of saints of old, who are now part of that "great cloud of witnesses." It says specifically; "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death."
The Blood of the Lamb! Who is that Lamb? What is His Name? It is JESUS! The word of their testimony... "what you say is what you get" more oft than not...So are your words agreeing with THE WORD? The Word of the Lamb who gave His Life for you? Who declared, "IT IS FINISHED." The battle and victory were already won, already paid for, already secured... we have skirmishes down here... but the next ALL OUT BATTLE is yet to be fought. But take courage, read the back of the book- "WE WIN!" And the last part of that sentence says, "...and they loved not their life unto the death." What does that mean? The Amplified Bible reads this way: ..." for they did not love and cling to life even when faced with death [holding their lives cheap till they had to die for their witnessing]."
Paul said it this way, " To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord." For the believer, death is the final enemy and we are promised that it has no hold on us, no sting, the grave has no victory. Billy Graham said it is the business of dying, that he does not look forward to, but death itself? It is nothing to us, for We are HIS and HE is ours and Heaven is our home!
Am I advocating we just rollover? Not at all! Go down swinging! ( If you have to go down.) Keeping fighting the enemy who constantly bombards us, bombards our flesh, bombards our minds, bombards our emotions. It IS a war we are engaged in. Once you get past being a baby Christian, you will be expected to learn to fight with the weapons of our warfare. They are NOT fists, knives or guns. They are powerful and varied. After all the word says weapons, plural. One of our weapons is our words and not just any words, but the word of our testimony. What is our testimony? It is what we beleive at the very core of our being. Do we really believe that God is "for us" as stated in Romans 8:31. Do we really believe His Word is true? Not only true, but that it has power to save? “Preaching about the cross sounds foolish to those who are dying in sin. But it is the power of God to those of us who are being saved from the punishment of sin.” 1Cor 1:18 NLT
Whose words, will we believe? Who will we listen to ? And what will we speak? Our own negative talk, the voice of the world system, as it further decays? The voice of earthly, sensual and devilish wisdom, or the Wisdom that is from above? Which is peaceable, gentle, easily entreated?
Sin drives, but LOVE leads. Yes the Spirit drove Jesus into the desert, but that was not the same kind of “drive.”. That was compelling Him, making it irresistible, to lead, urge, draw out, to cause a thing to move straight on its intended goal…” Jesus had intimate fellowship with the Father and the Spirit. He would go spend the wee hours in the mountains being alone with them. Remember, in Heaven He and the Father were intertwined and had never been separated. So, the wilderness experience that Jesus faced, was not God deserting Him! It was a time to put into practice, to voice the Word that HE had hidden in His heart. So when satan came at him, He could counter each time with “It is written.” He could do it, because it was part of Him. He BELIEVED IT and staked His life on it, because He knew His Father, intimately, deeply, personally. The same way we are invited to know Him!
As we become so intimately acquainted with our Father who art in Heaven, and with our Lovely Jesus our Bridegroom, and with the incomparable Holy Spirit, we will not fall for satan’s tricks and masquerades. He always tries to cause us to doubt God’s character, God’s word. But when we have waited on God and become tie dyed or entwined with Him then we will KNOW that nothing can separate us from the Love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. And that Love is a driving force! It drives out fear, sickness, doubt, pain, loneliness, guilt, shame. Let the Love that is found in the wonderful name and Person of Jesus, wash over you today. Come to the Lover of your soul. Come let HIM make you whole!
For there is NO OTHER NAME! Acts 4:10b, 12 J.B. Phillips New Testament …”it is high time that all of you and the whole people of Israel knew that it was done in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth! In no one else can salvation be found. For in all the world no other name has been given to men but this, and it is by this name that we must be saved!”

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.”
