Heart, Soul, and Strength

 i'm going to allow God's Word govern my life.  Situations, circumstances, and people set up by the Enemy on his chessboard are going to try and change my mind.  There will not be tolerated that "only in an emergency" Christianity i see...i will not entertain such foolery.  God is my Rock and He has never failed me, though i have failed Him plenty.  So i know the game.  You can't bullshit a bullshitter.  Counterfeit Christians beware. i do not have to be afraid while standing on the Word of God.  He will not allow me to be put to shame. "Enlarge the place of your tent And let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; Do not spare, lengthen your cords, And strengthen your stakes. --[Isaiah 54-2]  God has a covenant of peace with me.  He will not break it.  This is my heritage.  "Oh, you afflicted one, Tossed with tempest, and not comforted, Behold, I will lay your stones with colorful gems, And lay your foundati...

 Mixin'&meshin' the evolved with  the disillusioned Mixin'&meshin'  the clarity  with the confusion I don't care  when you awaken just as long as you  wake up And handle your  issues  without tissues Could wild wanton  Worcester accommodate me? The Verses of October  go on and on and on  After beginning at  the end of September and  going through to  the end of November

 Heavenly Father, i know You watched over me this morning as i came very close to getting struck by a car.  If it had been a driver on his cell phone or a driver lighting up a joint, i would have been done for.  i know i didn't want to be put in an inconvenient position of being laid up in a hospital room or confined to bed at the MotorMouth Motel with its noise and air pollution, so i'm grateful to You for that.  My only hope is that if i am to get hit by yet another vehicle, may i go from being thrown onto the asphalt and right into my heavenly home in the name of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?  Amen i also know that i need to start adjusting and stop complained; You've made that clear to me because i'm not getting stressed out like i have been before, and You deserve the glory for You've arranged various circumstances in my life in a way that i don't need to be so bothered by the enemy.  i can adjust my seating on the bus and at the library.  i ca...

 You've gotten me to laugh at myself this morning, Lord.  i'm not equipped with all the answers, and i can still laugh about matters.  The Son of Man was manifest that He might annihilate the works of the devil- -[1 John 3:8]  For God has not given me the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and a disciplined mind--[2 Timothy 1:7]  i don't mind falling for a hard close, not when the buy was a possibility of going to Colorado for Bible study.  i don't being considered as not a "fit."  But they made me feel it during the application process, so i wondered if this was indeed a calling from God or my fleshly desire to get the hell out of the MotorMouth Motel.  i spent so many years of my life searching for intimacy and falling short of finding it.  i rebelled God a long, long time and it's going to take a lot of time for those who knew me to accept the fact that i died two and a half years ago with Christ.  Amen Thereby taking that 180 d...

 Jesus had to control His outrage.  Fear tolerated is Faith contaminated.  i trust and believe in God, no matter what.  i mustn't believe in the circumstances more than the promise; although i must discern whether God or Satan put this desire to move in my heart.  It's easy to see what the devil's up to.  He knows i'd do anything to get out of this MotorMouth Motel, but that would mean leaving all my doctors and change all my medical and dental insurance, leave me out in a wilderness that is inconveniently spread out where there's no public transportation while where i'm at there is plenty. Satan can only do what i allow him to do.  He and his demonic mimicry.  There is already a great falling away and apostasy to keep him active and hopeful of having any impact.  i am unmarried, have been all my life and now i care for the things of the Lord and pleasing Him, and not some wife who probably would be too neurotic to appreciate me anyway. ...

 i choose Jesus.  i believe in what His blood has accomplished for me.  i have plans to be in heaven.  He knows it.  i know it.  It's more than a belief, it's a fact.  And yet faith is even stronger that fact.  i can't wait to get beyond this physical realm.  i intend to live a fear-free rest of my life.  Hell has no room for me.  i suppose living at the MotorMouth Motel is the only hell i'll know for now.  If i'm led by the Spirit of God then i am a son of God.  It's impossible for me to be an orphan, although that's how i saw myself after my mother died on 11DEC20.  The adversity of then being hit by a car on a road in West Boylston, MA wasn't really adverse at all because it made me closer to my Father, Abba, in heaven.  It happened on 29DEC20, so if i was an orphan, it was only 18 days.  This even took care of my smoking habit as well; so , although i had been born again way back in the early 70s while w...

 i'm listening for the trumpeter...i am in ready mode...nothing about the Rapture is a surprise to me.  What's a mystery to me is how to get everyone else in ready mode.  i find Jesus in Nehemiah as He is about the task of rebuilding my own broken walls.  Christ is the One who found me, not i who found Him.  It is the Holy Spirit who does the seeking, not i... "The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways. --- [Deuteronomy 28:7] An enemy is anything that opposes me.  The sooner the place burns down, then the sooner i can test Him at His word.  Not tempting...testing... The owner of the MotorMouth Motel must've promised her a share, a cut of the insurance money when some fool who smokes in his room burns the place down, and she's afraid--she fears--that he won't give her her cut.  I just hope that when the place does go down in smo...

 i must become a good custodian over my thoughts.  My God can supply all my needs according to His riches in glory.  By the stripes of Jesus Christ, i am healed!  His blood has been shed.  i'm not moved by how i feel. i'm moved by faith.  i'm moved by the Word of God.  if i were to fear, then i really don't believe, do i?  [Revelation 21;8]  i don't want any part of that lake which burns with fire and brimstone, the second death.  My absolute faith is in God.  The enemy has launded an all-out attack against faith, hasn't he?  Just surf through the media outlets. God is willing and able to provide for my needs.  Food, phone, board.  My next job will definitely be a divine assignment.  i trust God that He will always take care of me in sickness and in heath.  With Him, i many never be sick.  When i imagine laying my head at night on the chest of my Saviour, i sleep safely and soundly. "Take nothing for th...

 Praise the Lord!  He's given me the stamina to take steep hills on my walks now.  He's bestowed on me a sense of humor lately which puts a laugh in my step.  You are awesome, Lord!  You deserve all the credit! i'm humbled by You ever day when i wake up feeling happy to see the morning and knowing that any night now You may snatch me right up during Your air rescue!  You've made me a morning person again. They sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying "Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God Almighty!  Just and true are Your ways, O King of the saints!  Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name?  For You alone are holy.  For all the nations shall come and worship before You, For Your judgements have been manifested. -- [Revelation 15:3-4] Will my heart ever be blameless in holiness?  To be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe because my testimo...

 A prophet speaks to men for God.  Nobody these days would ever appreciate a prophet like Samuel.  Only God would and that makes being a prophet all the more worthwhile.  Samuel preceded Jesus as prophet, speaking for and representing the Father.  The big difference is that seeing Jesus, the Prophet is seeing God the Father Himself.  Jesus is the fire coming down from heaven in Kings and Chronicles. Lord, grant me wisdom and a new perspective on the Baby Elephant Parades going on constantly above me.  Help me not to discern them as enemies, just noise pollution specialists who don't have any common courtesy or concern about the safety and well-being of others.  Regardless, keep reminding me that i shall have no fear whatsoever because of the promises You've delivered.  i place my enemies in Your hands, and i promise never to take them back. Satan can only do what i grant him permission to do.  He's the father of lies and wants me to foll...

  For I know My thoughts that I think towards you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope  --[Jeremiah 29:11] A future and a hope without fear.  i'm so excited about that Bible for a friend coming in the mail.  Thank You so much, lord, for always blessing that remaining 90% so that i could have the means to purchase one for her.   I love those who love Me, And those who seek Me diligently will find Me .--[Proverbs 8:17] May i always draw near to You so that i may hear You to always go after the one who is lost and rejoice with me as i put him on my shoulders.  i have found him after he'd been lost. --[Luke 15] The angels in heaven will rejoice as well when he comes with me--just one sinner who repents.  We all need repentance.  Repentance isn't a one-shot deal.  Repentance is a continuous process. If i had a choice between a tiny house with all the fixings or teeth implants, i'd choose the tiny ...

 Heavenly Father, bless the one in my life who's got the Jezebel spirit, even if that means i've got to rebuke her by telling her what's on my mind when it comes to her mouth.  Make it so that i don't have to rehearse and rehearse and keep the devil out of it.  At the right time, give me Your words, place them in my heart, if i need to be harsh, make me harsh.  There are those who need to keep their Bibles open, and their mouths shut.  Let me be a very capable co-pilot, Holy Spirit and may no man speak a word against You for it will not be forgiven him. --[Matthew 12:32]   These days everyone is doing what is right in his eyes.  It's always been that way.  There's a rebellion against God, then we have to face judgment, then a deliverer comes, followed by repentance and restoration.  Then it all starts over again.  What has slithered down the dark alleys of our culture now parades proudly down Main Street.  You have chastened me...

 Even though many times i feel i'm not on the right path or i feel stuck in a rut, a visit to His Word gives me genuine hope that He is asking me or nudging me to be faithful, because with faith it is easier to be patient.  Even a saint must be faithful and patient.   The visions in my head trouble me; the eagle's wings are plucked off a lion, and i'm made to stand up on two feet like a man.  Three of my ribs are in the mouth of a bear and he's devouring my flesh! --[Daniel 7: 4-5]   But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever  -- [Daniel 7: 18]  i'm discovering that it's easy for me to deny that i'm a saint but that i really do want to be one.  Self-proclaimed kings and queens will always put disturbing visions in my head but in the long run--hopefully not too long a run--i will be one saint who can possess the kingdom of God and His righteousness.   The...

 Do you want to be a saint?  To dwell in safety as He shelters you all day long?  Do you want to be one of the Lord's beloved and live day by day on His safety?  Choose to be a saint.   The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by Him, Who shelters him all the day long; And he shall dwell between His shoulders. -- [Deuteronomy 33:12] Mr. Sometimes, i used to think that your strength was only my weakness, but the truth of the matter is that even you, with all your bulging muscles cannot guard me nor protect me nor guide me to where i must safely go.  If you are wicked, even with your mighty biceps and triceps, your tongue shall be bridled by the Lord. He will guard the feet of His saints, But the wicked shall be silent in darkness.  "For by strength no man shall prevail." --[1 Samuel 2:9] If even the heavens, populated with saints, are not pure in His sight, how much less do you think God would trust the likes of us, in this double-minded ...
