God
has given me a Word for 2015. Entwined in that is some particular words
for The Gambia and my children and others that I am working with there.
But I would like to let you in on a principle that will benefit you!
Apostle Bobbie Jean Merck always taught this: If someone receives a
Prophecy, and it particularly ministers to your own heart, if you reach
out in Faith and latch on, you may also partake
of that Blessing, by reason of your Faith and submission to the Word
given. So, that being said, I am releasing this Word, in totality,
including the Word for Gambia. Be Blessed and walk it out to God's
Glory. Amen.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
This is the word that God has given me for the
year 2015. As with any word I give, I give it with much humility and
trepidation. So. please know that I have listened to what He has had to
say and I’m challenged and now I challenge you.
Take off your
shoes! As you enter into the New Year, I heard the Lord saying “take
off your shoes. You’re standing on Holy ground!”
You’ve been
seeking to do things, and you have had some success, but you are
entering into a new arena. WE are entering into a new arena. What has
worked before will not work here. What you have known will not be
enough.
Even as Joshua met with Me, and my sword was drawn, it
is drawn once again. It is time for a fresh circumcision of the heart.
Your shoes represent your walk, both with Me and in this world. It
represents mode, method, methodology, many things…
Even as I told
Peter his feet needed cleansed from defilement, so too, you’ve been
defiled by your journey. [Through this world] Remove those shoes!
Be free of your past; your past mistakes, your past efforts, your past
way of doing things. Your shoes represent your lifestyle (my impression
– may have been just for me, but it was that the lifestyle needs to
change) your mode, your method of doing… You DON’T stand, and you WON’T
stand in your own wisdom and your own strength! Do not rely on things
of the past; they will not work where I am taking you. Take off your
shoes.
Come face to face with Me. Let My Sword, My Word divide
asunder, thoughts, intents and soul and Spirit. I Am doing a new thing
in you, for you and through you! So, in you, for you and through you.
This will require you to “be still and know.” Do not run ahead of Me
in presumption. I will show you step by step. New ways produce new
things.
But come into this New Year free of regrets, free of
past problems, and free of man-made solutions. Let Me cut away all
disappointment, fear and disillusionment. This is Holy Ground where I
AM meeting with you One on one. So, again I say. Take off your shoes.
To Gambia I see a well-worn plough handle, an old fashioned wooden
plough. It is sitting with blade on hard ground. You have worked amid
frustration, disappointments… For some of you, you have stopped
ploughing altogether because you are so weary. But your tears and your
prayers and your efforts have not been in vain. I see corn! Tender
shoots about 8 inches tall, bright green in color. It is time to tend
your garden and nurture the coming harvest. Seeds that have long lain
dormant are sprouting! There WILL BE a harvest in 2015. But only if you
protect your fields in prayer, water it in love and and speak life.
Don’t pluck up your seeds now! Especially, with negative words. Stay
the course! You WILL reap. But to do so effectively and efficiently,
you must change methods. You must let go of “the same old, same old.”
That old plough is not going to work very well much/any longer. Embrace
what I Am about to do and get ready to be astonished!
Love is the key to unlocking the door: Love ME and love your fellow man.
Take off your shoes and dance with Abandon the Dance of Wild Love and
let ME refresh you. Drink deep of the waters of My Presence, My Spirit,
My Love and be re-saturated and refilled. I am about to do a new thing
and you WILL see it springing forth, says the Lord. Amen.

Simple Message- Give it All to Jesus
Although Evie Tornquist Karlson's music is from a simpler time,and without all the technical adornment's we find today, the message is timeless and beautiful.
The truth of the matter is, everyday we live and breath, we have a choice- to try to do it all ourselves, or to give God the reins. Even as Christians too many times we spin our wheels "trying" to help God! Trying to fulfill our dreams, or snared into helping others to the point that we find ourselves frustrated and burned out.
This is not how God meant our lives to be. To all you good 'church folk" out there: it is not about church functions, it is about functioning in a living, ever expanding, loving relationship with God and our fellow man! It is not about going to church, it is BEING the church. The one that is made up of lively and precious stones, being built up and fitly joined together to form a living temple fit for HIS habitation. We are to be living epistles, read of men... our life an example of His Love.
Love can be practiced in so many ways. Through words and deeds. How about kindness? How about that cup of cold water given to a parched throat, that helping hand to get back upon your feet, that smile at a stranger that warms their heart to receive more than just the smile? That "word" that is both encouraging yet reminding the hearer that it came from God's heart through you.
We don't know what tomorrow holds, but we do know who holds tomorrow. It might look like tomorrow and all our futures are held hostage by maniacs bent on destroying life as we know it. This is certainly true for the nation of Israel. And really, it is true for many nations, as evil forces gather.
But even as those forces gather, there is also a gathering of God's angels. God is not with out plans nor is He without power! Although God put man in charge of the Garden of Eden and we blew it, He has not left us defenseless and rejected. He sent a Savior. He sent JESUS. HE gave His best so that we can be our best - and actually be what HE created us to be. His sons and daughters!
In a world that has gone so far from what the original intent of it was, and is so marred with sin and all of its by products, He still plants us in the middle of it. But this time instead of us being in a garden, we ARE the Garden. His garden. And we are to meet Him there and share and gain what is needed for our day to day living. Daily Manna, from Heaven. It is still falling on the ground for us to pick up and partake of. Just come into the garden with Him and be refreshed. And then go out into the world a firebrand, a flame, a torch, a candle that cannot be hidden!
But first give it all to Jesus. And receive His All into your heart and life. Amen.

Face Recognition
I've been sorting and cataloging photos for the past few days. It's been so much fun!There are some wonderful programs out there to work with. They even have "face recognition!" That's not just high tech spy thriller movie-stuff anymore! Once you have tagged a face with a name, the program will continue to pick that face out in other photographs!
But it reminds me that God doesn't need face recognition programing! He knows us by name, let alone by our faces. How great is HIS Love for us!
Indeed, while you were yet in your mother's womb, I knew you and took delight in you! Psalm 139:15-16, Jeremiah 1:5. Not only do I recognize your face my dear one, but I long to see it! Song 2:14 Come won't you, into the garden of My Love?
Come and share in delights known only to Me, but that I long to share with you!
Have I not told you if you will but call to Me I will show you great and lofty things that are hidden and unknown to you? I have kept them fenced in and reserved for our time together that I may unveil them to you, my love. Jeremiah 33:3 Amp.
For I delight in you. I delight to gaze upon your face, and study you as you work and as you sleep. I long to share in the wonder of an open field of flowers, or the joy that a child finds in simple things like rainbows and caterpillars and puppy dogs. My heart aches for you when you run, run run all the time and are so weary beyond comprehension, tired and stressed and burned out. This is not the life I intended for you, My Love! But, I wait patiently for you to come to Me. To unwind and bask in Me. I will wash over you and wipe away your cares, replacing them with the fresh air of the Wind of My Spirit. I will refresh and restore your soul, if you will just come and lie down in the green pastures of my Presence and my Spirit and drink from the Water of Life... My very Word given to you!
You think you don't have time to come and be still in My Presence. But I tell you this my dear one; "You don't have time not to!" For in My Presence is fullness of Joy and it is where you will find the river that will carry you forth into My Purposes and plans for you!
So come and gaze upon My face, filled with love for you, and let me gaze upon yours...
