    Hey, God is speaking to you! Yes, you!

    "And God is able to make all grace [or favor] abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:" 2 Corinthians 9:8


    This is a compilation of words God has put on my heart and/or shown me in the last three to four years, 2019 to 2022, which describe what is happening in our world right now, what is to come, and what we, as God's Chosen, are to do or not do about it: Listen to God! 

    To withstand evil, believe in Jesus Christ; obey God; have Faith; read God's Word; pray in spirit (tongues), as we are told to do in Ephesians 6:13-18 - Wear the Whole Armor of God.

    God's hammer of justice is falling for those who do not obey Him, for those who choose the wrong side of His line drawn with His finger in stone, for those who choose Satan's kingdom.

    But, for those who choose God's kingdom, God is Able: His Light and Truth are raining down on us. God's children are awakening from their sleep of spiritual complacency. Romans 13:11

    They can't stop God. God is Able. We know the story, and God wins!

    Mark 12
    ​
    41 "    And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.

    42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.

    43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:
    ​
    44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living."
    God started putting this word on my heart about a week ago, but just today, when I was reading the Bible at Joel Chapter 1, He showed me what I was supposed to see about the word. Joel Chapter 1 has nothing to do with this word, but that is how God rolls in my life, that is how He speaks to me.

    Heavenly Father, thank you for your many blessings in our lives. Thank you for the Power in Your Word, in the blood covenant, and in Your Spirit inside of us. Thank you for making us doers and givers. In Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen.

    So, in Satan's world, on earth, there are "needy" people, suffering, rejected, weary,     because Satan tempted Adam and Eve, and they chose sin and death for mankind.

    But God gives to the "givers" so they have more to give to God's children. I mean, having needy people is not a good thing, but that is not God's fault, nor is it His plan or purpose for us. Having "givers" though is supposed to make it bearable, right? Right! But only if the givers actually give to those in need.

    Now, maybe breaking it down into the givers and the needy is a little harsh, but it is reality. God does not want man to be in need. He wants the givers to give, but Satan is real, and man has a choice.

    For the givers that do give, they will be given more to give. Luke 6:38 "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again."

    God, the Father of Lights, created us, and He knows the end from the beginning, because He made it all, and it all exists and is held together by Him.

    Colossians 1

    16 "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

    17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

    18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence."

    verse 17 again: "And he is before all things, and by him all things consist."  

    What is the definition of consist? Below from dictionary.com:

    ​Quote: "to be made up or composed (usually followed by of): This cake consists mainly of sugar, flour, and butter.

    to be comprised or contained (usually followed by in):Her charm does not consist only in her beauty.

    Archaic. to exist together or be capable of existing together." End quote.

    So, God is it! He knows it all, the end from the beginning, because by Him all things are made up, composed, comprised, contained, existing together [as One]!

    As One, the body of Christ, One body with many members, and God as our head.

    Malachi 3 verse 18: "And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence."

    Why did Jesus tell us to love our neighbor as ourself? Because they are us. We are One, in Christ: by Him all things consist, are One. Not just words! God's Word is alive, active and powerful, chock full of blessings and curses, and instructions on how to activate blessings and avoid curses, instructions on how to be like Jesus, and overcome this perverse generation, like Jesus overcame.

    Jesus came to serve: Matthew 20:28  "just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many [paying the price to set them free from the penalty of sin].”

    "And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all." Mark 9:35

    Matthew 20

    25 "But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles have absolute power and lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them [tyrannizing them]. 

    26 It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant, 

    27 and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your [willing and humble] slave; 

    28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many [paying the price to set them free from the penalty of sin].”

    Those who serve their fellow man now will be first in life everlasting. This flesh is temporary; this pain is temporary. "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." John 10:10

    Love your neighbor as yourself. Help the needy. Not just needy Christians, but especially your brothers and sisters in Christ. If we have the necessities, clothes, food, shelter, heat, and they have not, God's Word says to give. Amen.

    James 2

    15 "If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,

    16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?

    17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone."

    Even so, faith in God, believing in Christ, without works, without giving, is dead, as one who barely escapes through the fire, which is judgment.

    Finally, God tells us plainly about giving in Malachi 3:

    Malachi 3

    8 "Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

    9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.
    ​
    10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

    11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts.

    12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts."

    Blessings and curses. 

    Deuterononmy 30:19 "I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:"

    We have a choice. Choose blessings. Choose life.

    God further says that we mumble to ourselves, and say it is vain to serve Him. We say things out loud to question Him. We call the proud happy, and say that those that work wickedness lack nothing:

    Malachi 3

    13 Your words have been stout against me, saith the Lord. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?

    14 Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of hosts?

    15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.

    16 Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name.

    17 And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.

    18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not."

    When writing or speaking about tithing, I have quoted Malachi 3:8-11 more than once, but today, I read the remainder of the chapter again, and began to cry at verse 16. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for saving man.

    verse 16 "Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name."

    Wow! Where to start? So, first man questions if serving God is in vain, because the proud and wicked people seem to get richer and more powerful. "Then"! Then they that feared the Lord spoke often one to another: Those of like mind started gathering together, as in church. 

    "And the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord," Satan has taught people well these days to fear nothing; even infiltrating churches and teaching God's children not to fear God. That is not what God's Word  tells us: "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man." Ecclesiastes 12:13

    And, not just one scripture, but Jesus also said, "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." ​Matthew 10:28

    Fear God, not man.

    The last part of Malachi 3 verse 16 says, "and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name."

    In other words, Bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.  

    There is a scripture I read recently that I cannot remember or find - don't you hate that? It must have been in Ezekiel, maybe Daniel. It was about God's wrath to come, and how it would basically miss the people who were praising God or worshipping Him, like "don't touch them." I can't remember what it said exactly. If anyone knows this scripture, please comment and let me know. Thank you. Thank you.

    This word from God today is not a commercial, but I do feel that some who read it may need to start sowing into God's Word and giving, in order to start reaping blessings of abundance. So, solely with that in mind, following is a link to the "Give" page for our church: Living Waters Assembly of God - Give. ​

    ​There are also many great charities to which one can and should give, but whatever you do, do not let Satan kill, steal and destroy your blessings of abundance: Give; give often; give regularly; give generously; give joyfully; give until it hurts. Because God is our ​Provider! He knows what we need. He will not forsake us.

    All glory, honor, praise and thanksgiving to God, the Father of Lights, in whom there is no shadow of turning. Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen and amen.

    God bless you all.

    "BE A DOER" AUDIO BLOG

    "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." Romans 12:2

    ​The Perfect Will of God. All glory, honor, praise and thanksgiving to God, the Father of Lights. Thank you, Jesus. Amen. 

    A little background on this blog: In speaking to our Pastor, I told him that I need to bridle my tongue. He said, Oh ... well, James talks about that: Pastor David always has the right answer from God. God bless him.

    So, reading the Bible today, I started reading James 1 ​again, and found many enlightening passages. Let's look at verses 17 through 25:

    James 1

    17 "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

    18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

    19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

    20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

    21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

    22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

    23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

    24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

    25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed."


    There is a lot of good stuff packed in those eight verses. Let's break them down.

    Verse 17: God is good, and everything He created is perfect.

    Verse 18: "    Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth,"  His own will, His grace, because He wanted to, as a favor, because He loves us. He begat us with the word of truth: The word of truth is Jesus Christ: the word made flesh; the way, the truth, and the life.  

    Verses 19 and 20: He is telling us to bridle our tongues, because as we know "the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison." James 3:8. And, used in anger, "    works not the righteousness of God." Let God's Will be done, not our own. Let God's words be spoken, not our own. Bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. Amen.

    Verse 21: "and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls." Meekness, humbleness, not proudness or arrogance. Receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save our souls.

    "Engrafted." Now, there's a priceless word. It has only two possible definitions, from dictionary.com:

    1. Horticulture. to insert, as a scion of one tree or plant into another, for propagation: to engraft a peach on a plum. Or,
    2. Surgery. (of living tissue) to become grafted.

    Jesus Christ, the word made flesh, the Word, God's Word, is engrafted into us, by surgery only God could perform, and is able to save our souls. Read His Word; it is alive!

    Verses 22 through 25: "Be doers"! Get out and do! Stand up. Speak out for God. Testify. Give. Help. Save. Serve. Be doers, not just hearers of His Word.

    ​"being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed."  Again, God tells us exactly how to receive His blessings: Be an active doer, not a forgetful hearer.

    Heavenly Father, thank you for your many blessings in our lives. Thank you for Your Word and the word made flesh, Jesus Christ. Fill us with Your Will, Your light and Your love, replace our stony hearts with hearts of flesh, and bless Your Children for being doers of Your work. In Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen.

    "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;" 1 Peter 2:9

    Heavenly Father, thank you for our many blessings. Thank you for the Power of Your Word, Your Spirit in us, and the blood sacrifice of Your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, Powers that are specifically for us. Transform us into Your Glory, Lord. In Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen.

    Around 2020, God told me, "If you touch the feet of a righteous person, they will be healed." 

    Now, I was a baby Christian at the time, still am, but then I had only been studying God's Word for a year or so. Honestly, I didn't even know what "righteous" meant. Around that time, I looked at my husband and said, What does righteous mean? Are you righteous?  Am I? A couple of years later, 2022, and I now know righteous to mean that we obey God, because if we obeyed God, then we would not sin, and we would be righteous.

    Around the same time, God gave me a vision of my husband and me participating in a tent revival, at which I was healing people. When I received this word and vision, we were not even attending a church. What on earth was I going to do with that information?

    Until we started attending our current church around August 2021, I had not told anyone about healing except my husband, and then our new pastor. Pastor David always has the right answer from God, and when I asked him what I am to do with this information, he said the Holy Spirit will tell you when the time is right and what to do. He was right!

    Almost a year later, and CalledOutOfDarkness.One Tent Revival Meetings came to our church, and set up a tent on the church property. My husband and I attended one of the two nights, and it was a very spiritual event, but the thought of healing, or the vision of healing in a tent, never crossed my mind, or may have crossed my mind, but not seriously. What did cross my mind was another vision I had after we started attending church: It was a tent revival at the church, with the parking lot full, and shuttles shuttling people back and forth, and I thought maybe the current tent revival was a precursor for those future tent meetings.

    This is so crazy. Our God is a supernatural God, right? A few months later, and a church member from the Called Out of Darkness tent meetings started attending our church, and asked me to go to another tent revival meeting in a couple of weeks. I agreed, but we failed to exchange phone numbers, and she did not come to church the next two Sundays. A few days or so before the tent revival, in my sleep, I was thinking, dreaming, having a vision, Oh well, I guess I don't have to go to the tent revival, because I'm not even sure if the person who invited me will be there. 

    And, Holy Spirit said something that made me laugh in my dream, something like, What is wrong with you? You SHOULD GO to the tent revival meeting ANYWAY: I told you, you are going to heal. And, the light bulb went off, as it usually does, and still in my sleep, thinking to myself, I was like, Oh yeah, I should go anyway, and talk to the prayer leader about healing.

    Once we hear Holy Spirit speak clearly, our resolve to obey is deepened. So, I went to the tent meeting; the woman who invited me was not there, but I started talking to the prayer leader for the event, and told her that the Holy Spirit had moved me to heal, and really moved me to the event today. She said they usually vet people before letting them heal, which I understood; I told her what church I was from. She said she would let me help healing one of the tent meeting team members, who specifically had problems with her feet.

    So, we went up front in the tent, in front of the band, and three or four people placed hands on the person being healed, and I stooped down and touched both of her feet. The music was really loud; I don't know if it was louder because I was stooped down, but it was really loud. From the moment I touched her feet, it was like it was just her feet, not even her, just her feet, and Holy Spirit and me in the room, and the loud music, and Holy Spirit wanted to be heard above the music, and I started praying out loud in spirit, very loudly, in tongues. I don't know how else to describe it except it was loud; I could hear that it was loud. I suppose it could be called "fervent," or with intensity in spirit.

    It was a surreal experience, and when I was finished praying, it was like it never happened in my mind; like I had done nothing wrong; like no one heard me because no one was there. I stood up, and the prayer leader was smiling at me, and I smiled back at her. The person who was being healed was crying, and later, she hugged and thanked me. Praise God. 

    It was not until literally three days later when I snapped out of the surreal feeling about the experience, and Holy Spirit told me that I was there that day, at that tent meeting, to heal that person, at that moment, in that very manner! Hallelujah! Praise God. Thank you, Jesus.

    All glory to God, the Father, all glory and honor and praise and thanksgiving. In Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen.

    "OUR WORDS ARE ALIVE" AUDIO BLOG

    Images above, left to right: Rosehips thorn bush; Virginia creeper vine; King Bolete wild mushroom.
    Heavenly Father, thank you for our many blessings. Thank you for the Power in Your Word, and in the blood sacrifice of your only begotten son, Jesus Christ. Thank you that this Power is for us, Your Children. Let Your Words and Your Will always be ours, and let Your children see and hear. In Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen.

    Sometimes it can take a minute or two, or year or two, to understand what God is telling us, or me, because as is often the case, I started writing this on August 4, 2022. Just today, I realized what God has been trying to tell me. Actually, He began showing me this through scripture and other videos about physics, which I first posted about a couple of years ago here at "God and Physics." So, I am a really slow learner. Forgive me, Lord.

    Many times I have written that God's Word is alive and powerful, but what about our own words? Just this morning, I began to realize what God has been showing or trying to show me, that our​ words are alive as well. 

    Because God will never forsake us, and He promises to show us great and mighty things, He gave my husband and me examples this year of how our words create. I mean, I am sure there are many examples in our lives everyday, but these four were undeniable.

    Bear with me, because this may sound a little crazy, but our God is a supernatural God, right? So, supernatural can seem a little crazy if we do not have faith in God and His Word.

    Also, I do not believe in coincidences as much as I did before God was in my life. I saw a meme last year that said something like, Coincidences are God-inspired opportunities. Amen.

    So, the first three examples of our words creating that happened in our lives this year were concerning our yard, the front yard, a big ugly hill in the front of our house to be more precise. This hill could be called a proverbial thorn in our sides, which will seem funny in a moment. It is covered in useless vines that don't even flower; they just cover everything; and there is other equally useless stuff growing on the hill as well.

    Last year, I was thinking a lot about the hill; thinking about, and researching, what we could plant on it that may overtake and coverup the vines. Last year, I also became interested in medicinal and edible wild plants and weeds. I commented to my husband, Maybe we should put an edible bush with thorns; that seemed appropriate on a hill.

    One of the other things I talked about was a Clematis vine, or Virginia creeper, a ground cover vine, and especially the Virginia creeper, which turns red in the fall and the birds love the berries. I thought maybe it would cover the other vine, and the red on the hill would be pretty in the fall. 

    Finally, I thought about and talked a lot about the Forsythia plant, which is the pretty, bright yellow bush we see everywhere in the spring/summer.

    All of that was in 2021, and in 2022, this spring, you can't even make this stuff up, the following three things started growing on the hill. Completely self-started. God-started! We did not plant anything on the hill, ever:

    • A wild rosehips bush, which is a thorny bush that produces white flowers in the spring/summer and orange to red edible and medicinal berries in the fall;
    ​
    • Virginia creeper vine; and,

    • Forsythia.

    We have lived in this house for almost six years, and have never seen any of those growing on the hill!

    Rose hip berries are nutritious, medicinal, edible berries, which are concocted into syrups and used to make teas.

    As I was writing this, I researched again whether Virginia Creeper vine is edible or medicinal. It does have some uses in those areas, although only in extreme circumstances in my opinion, because it is known to be toxic to humans in some instances.

    The Virginia creeper vine, however, does attract a variety of birds, depending on your zone:

    • American Robin
    • Brown Thrasher
    • Cape May Warbler
    • Cedar Waxwing
    • Downy Woodpecker
    • Eastern Bluebird
    • Eastern Phoebe
    • Hermit Thrush
    • Northern Flicker
    • Pine Warbler‍
    • Red-Bellied Woodpecker‍
    • Red-Eyed Vireo‍
    • Rose-Breasted Grosbeak‍
    • Scarlet Tanager‍
    • Yellow-Rumped Warbler

    We have been feeding the birds for some time, and have talked frequently about what we could plant around the yard to attract more birds and bees.

    Our words are alive! Jesus says, By our words we shall be justified, and by our words we shall be condemned. Matthew 12:37

    It only makes sense that this means now, in our lives on earth, we justify or condemn ourselves and our lives by our words: In other words, by our words, we create good things around us, love, peace, joy, abundance, et cetera, or we create bad things, strife, poverty, lack, unbelief, et cetera; we create all of these things in our lives with our words.

    And, in the end, when every knee will bow to Jesus, and every tongue confess to God, we will be justified and condemned by God, by our words as well. Romans 14:11

    Especially since the LORD God tells us in Deuteronomy 30:19: "I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:"

    Life and death. Blessing and cursing. Only two choices: Choose God or choose Satan. 

    This is why God's Word tells us repeatedly to meditate on His Word, get it down inside of us, "Store it in our hearts so we do not sin against Him." Bring into captivity even our very thoughts to the obedience of Christ. So that our first choice is always God's Will, and Jesus Christ, the way, the truth and the life. So that we create blessings, not curses, around us now in this life, and in life everlasting. Amen.

    There are many times that I have said to my husband, Hey, I just said this yesterday, or recently, and look, here it is in the garden, or on television, or a video, or Pastor David talks about it in church that morning, right after I said it. I am sure if you think about it, you will realize the same in your life, or maybe you already have. Hallelujah! Praise God. Amen. If not, then refer to the previous paragraph: Bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.

    The last thing I want to write about today are wild mushrooms.

    Last year, I became somewhat interested in wild mushrooms, watched a couple of videos about picking wild mushrooms, and then found some mushrooms in our yard, on a rotted tree. Subsequently, after researching them online, I determined that they were poisonous. And I commented out loud that it would be nice if they were not poisonous, and we talked about and researched how to grow mushrooms. I even bought a book on how to identify edible and poisonous wild mushrooms.

    Again, that was last year. This year, this fall, we had a whole patch of King Bolete wild mushrooms, which are apparently highly desired and sought after by wild mushroom connoisseurs.

    Now, that is four examples of our words creating in our life, which just came to me this morning. Do you see things like this in your life and know it is God, or do you just look at them as coincidences?

    Give all glory, praise, honor and thanksgiving to God, the Father, always.

    If we start having faith in God, the faith that can move mountains, then we will move mountains!

    Our words are alive!

    The time is at hand. Choose God.

    ​Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.
