I do not usually share this much of what God has shown me, but I believe it is time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Lord has shown me the United States crumbling apart.  There is no law and no love.  The only place that God can be found is in the hearts of His people and His people start to become few.  There will be persecution of the Christians in this land and many have not equipped themselves spiritually to endure.  The love is gone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There will be lawlessness in the land.  Those Christians, that can endure, will rebel against the power of man and bring up arms, as did there forefathers, to defend liberty and their God.  Hospitals, graves and prisons wait for God people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Lord showed me twice what it would be like.  I wrote of this in &lt;a href=&quot;http://given55.blogspot.com/2009/02/it-is-so.html&quot;&gt;&quot;It is So&quot;&lt;/a&gt; and in &lt;a href=&quot;http://given55.blogspot.com/search?q=jeremiah+14&quot;&gt;&quot;Jeremiah 14&quot;&lt;/a&gt;, both speak of the Holy Spirit being taken out of America.  This is happening now.  Please prepare yourself for such a thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I told my husband a year ago that elections would be suspended in America as well as will our writ of Habeas Corpus.  Rush Limbaugh started speaking of this yesterday.  Why else would a man risk reelection other than he knew there would be no election.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                      &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/cindypk/4481534886/&quot; title=&quot;Prisoners by cindypkvoice@sbcglobasl.net, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4012/4481534886_b68533e763_o.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Prisoners&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Lord has called myself and my family to leave the city.  Interesting is that there are many Christians that have been called out of the city.  We, because of following what the Lord has said, have faced objections from others.  Look into the Word of God and see if objection do not come over and over again to those that are following the call of God.  To those of you that are doing the hard thing that God has commanded, let me tell you what the Lord says.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;I do not promise you that this will be easy.  I do say that your obedience is honey unto my lips.  You are chosen and loved beyond measure.  My eyes are upon you and what I have called you to will endure because of your obedience.  I know your sacrifice and your struggle.  I know your hearts and your spirit.  You are my few.  Angles guard you so that your path to my call will not be broken.  I bless you because I can do nothing less.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/cindypk/4480891887/&quot; title=&quot;Guardian-Angel by cindypkvoice@sbcglobasl.net, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2758/4480891887_7136809b59_o.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Guardian-Angel&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My brothers and sisters in Christ.  Do not linger and do not scorn those who are called.  Send them off with blessings and prayer.  They are following a path unmarked and doing the biting of our Savior.</description><link>http://given55.blogspot.com/2010/04/prophetic-word-about-united-states.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Given55)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJSVLXiFsbE6CMLW2F3xrYc420oceL1El3u-7aQCVbVGSHsB94QXjF8_YCwCsz-9Nv85qo4XbF3TFLYjnZVGNLsZfqo_daHvdBa-Rnq5LdI-o92MK6zz09CspZREVRvhna2s21eJEzn7WR/s72-c/heaven_or_hell.66224728.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4289559856268658777.post-846706155239324155</guid><pubDate>Mon, 29 Mar 2010 14:43:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-03-29T09:46:09.187-05:00</atom:updated><title>Persecution...the early stages</title><description>Christiasns...you had better dodge the Obama ball.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thefoxnation.com/culture/2010/03/24/amish-muslims-exempt-obamacare-mandate&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amish, Muslims Exempt for Health Care&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://given55.blogspot.com/2010/03/persecutionthe-early-stages.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Given55)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4289559856268658777.post-286732088259823428</guid><pubDate>Thu, 25 Mar 2010 13:00:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-03-25T08:02:30.640-05:00</atom:updated><title>Prophetic Word for Europe  from Don Franklin</title><description>&lt;p class=&quot;ecxMsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;ecxMsoNormal&quot;&gt;

Words have been said to me that are hurtful and some just plain selfish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would like to address every one of those complaints with scripture.&lt;br /&gt;After all it is God who told me to go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a linkindex=&quot;24&quot; href=&quot;http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+22:18&amp;amp;version=NIV&quot;&gt;Genesis  22:18&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and through your offspring   all nations on earth will be blessed,  because you have &lt;b&gt;obey&lt;/b&gt;ed me&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a linkindex=&quot;36&quot; href=&quot;http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+12:24&amp;amp;version=NIV&quot;&gt;Exodus  12:24&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;&lt;b&gt;Obey&lt;/b&gt; these instructions as a lasting ordinance for you and your  descendants&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My favorite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a linkindex=&quot;44&quot; href=&quot;http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Corinthians+10:5&amp;amp;version=NASB&quot;&gt;2  Corinthians 10:5&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are destroying speculations and every  lofty thing raised up against  the knowledge of &lt;b&gt;God&lt;/b&gt;, and we are taking every thought captive to  the  &lt;b&gt;obedience&lt;/b&gt; of Christ&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2 id=&quot;passage_heading&quot;&gt;Isaiah 30:9-11&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;      For this is a rebellious people, false sons,&lt;br /&gt;        Sons  who refuse to listen&lt;br /&gt;        To the  instruction of the LORD;&lt;br /&gt;   Who say to the seers, &quot;You must not see  visions&quot;;&lt;br /&gt;        And to the prophets, &quot;You must not prophesy to us what is right,&lt;br /&gt;        Speak to us pleasant words,&lt;br /&gt;        Prophesy  illusions.&lt;br /&gt;   &quot;Get  out of the way, turn aside from the path,&lt;br /&gt;        Let us hear no more about the  Holy One of Israel.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hear that last one a lot.  People do not want to hear the truth.  Even prophets that I know agree with the above verse.  They only speak the sweet words,  never the corrections.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In saying that, my course is set.  I do not want to move back to the country.  I really don&#39;t.  But, because my God,  and supposedly the same  God as others I know , has called me to go back to the farm I must go.  But, because God&#39;s plans for me are not pleasant to others, they put up  words that go against the very plans that God has for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whenever God delivers something very pleasant to me, it usually comes as a great surprise.  Like a Christmas present.  But, whenever the gift is to be something I would want to exchange for a better gift, He slowly works me into it.  Perhaps this is to ease the pain for others.  I have accepted this gift and am moving forward.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will not be there for some....learn to lean on the Lord more.  You have the same God in you that I have in me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am filthy as rags.  Overcoming constantly.  But, one thing I know to be truth, is that God has called me back to the farm.  Christians rarely question my prophetic words to them, then why must you question these words from God.</description><link>http://given55.blogspot.com/2010/03/obeying.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Given55)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4dOXQ3DyyLeGNLlf9I_O-E3OBFKBJ8mD2kTaXIHzqw7lzGJYaQVXMejtrE-B7yjxKSKFoCav_UW0N6jEKJmO4tqTUlcqggN0_77YL6q_F2s65uuHwl7MiPnneIragi5RRZvwAcryILcj7/s72-c/godsway.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4289559856268658777.post-6234302651585261318</guid><pubDate>Sat, 20 Mar 2010 21:47:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-03-20T17:19:46.628-05:00</atom:updated><title>Holiness</title><description>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoM2NZjYV_Z_D0LzcI_7NPbSJeEk02YPDbfdpRfZ7jV1apo63RvJ8fw0K-PibgNm7fL7Kx0nJP_HNZOtA9OQR2QQ9s4wlFSOsSpnu7tGq4IaU4ZZHyIM9zgBOGVdlyjBXWfDlb7bQ0kCSZ/s1600-h/holiness.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 211px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoM2NZjYV_Z_D0LzcI_7NPbSJeEk02YPDbfdpRfZ7jV1apo63RvJ8fw0K-PibgNm7fL7Kx0nJP_HNZOtA9OQR2QQ9s4wlFSOsSpnu7tGq4IaU4ZZHyIM9zgBOGVdlyjBXWfDlb7bQ0kCSZ/s320/holiness.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450843964695058866&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seeking to be holy should be every Christians aim.  Being obedient to the Lords voice, commands and leadings helps to carry us into the closeness of God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is commanded of us to seek holiness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 204, 102);&quot; id=&quot;passage_heading&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;Hebrews 12:14&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 204, 102);&quot; id=&quot;passage_heading&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 204, 102);font-size:100%;&quot; &gt;Strive for peace with  everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will  see the Lor&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;d.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;  But, how ready are Christians to look deep within, for that matter, look on the surface, of their lives.   At times, I can not tell the difference between a secular person and one whom calls themselves a Christian.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pride, judgement, disrespect all flourish in the Christian community.  My heart is saddened by the state of our churches and its people.  Holiness is not found through a church nor through continued sinful behavior.  Do we not know the toll for throwing our deliberate sin in the face of an almighty God.  Then, as if we are free of sin, we judge, correct or disrespect others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;font-size:100%;&quot; &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;h4 style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 204, 102); font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;1 Corinthians 10:9-13&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 204, 102);font-size:100%;&quot; &gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 204, 102); font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;We must not put Christ to the test, as some of them did and were destroyed by serpents, nor grumble, as some of them did and were destroyed by the Destroyer. Now these things happened to  them as an example, but they were written down for  our instruction, on whom the end of the ages  has come. Therefore let anyone who thinks that  he stands take heed lest he fall. No temptation has overtaken you that is not  common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be  tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also  provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;it&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time is short.  I, in obedience, will soon be leaving the city and doing what I see my Father do.  My husband and I have brought our land into covenant with Israel, we will, no matter what, not turn our hearts from Israel.  In this new place, away from the darkness of the city, I hope to grow in my holiness with the Lord.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear reader, I am weary from watching the walk of deliberate sin, pride and judgement.  I pray that you will find those things in your life that would keep you from the threshold of Heaven and find a holy walk.</description><link>http://given55.blogspot.com/2010/03/holiness.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Given55)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoM2NZjYV_Z_D0LzcI_7NPbSJeEk02YPDbfdpRfZ7jV1apo63RvJ8fw0K-PibgNm7fL7Kx0nJP_HNZOtA9OQR2QQ9s4wlFSOsSpnu7tGq4IaU4ZZHyIM9zgBOGVdlyjBXWfDlb7bQ0kCSZ/s72-c/holiness.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4289559856268658777.post-8087732694254536406</guid><pubDate>Fri, 05 Mar 2010 12:53:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-03-05T08:46:11.598-06:00</atom:updated><title>Weird</title><description>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-7-a-14t5EFkvdmBeMIXob5tX0cNvG-FGQvfdCHiHkOSzmYpEIAWLelGQZbnj_5jn0vffbnKntEH6MCd-2TvNWoMaxaHASgU945zMdMDcm8bWw8TjW4wIVJdCyEbx5j5cZicCEMsbqYPQ/s1600-h/full-holy-spirit-window.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-7-a-14t5EFkvdmBeMIXob5tX0cNvG-FGQvfdCHiHkOSzmYpEIAWLelGQZbnj_5jn0vffbnKntEH6MCd-2TvNWoMaxaHASgU945zMdMDcm8bWw8TjW4wIVJdCyEbx5j5cZicCEMsbqYPQ/s320/full-holy-spirit-window.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445148782199538786&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Christians, we all know that &quot;everything is possible through God&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 204, 0); font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Mark 10:27&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 204, 0); font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Looking at them, Jesus said, &quot; With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have seen and heard a lot of strange things through Christ.   I am no longer surprise nor bewildered by the unveiling of the unknown by God.  And yet, last night, I became a bit surprised and bewildered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My home church met last night.  We have been watching a film of prophets  speaking over our city.  One of them is Dutch Sheets, a remarkable man  of God, whom I respect and love to hear speak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, I was taken into a vision during our worship time.  In the vision, I was running away from people and into an unknown place.  I was not running from people out of fear, it was just the way I was headed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While running, I turned back towards the people I was running away from and waved goodbye.  My face was full of joy.  But, in the natural, while watching this vision, I felt alone, depressed and sad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then I heard the voice of God.  He said, &quot;You will come to me alone.&quot;..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have no idea what this means nor the importance of it.  I assume that all will be revealed in God&#39;s timing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then during the film....weird happened.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dutch Sheets began to speak in tongues.  I recognized the tongue has my own.  Now, I have communicated spirit to spirit in the past.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://given55.blogspot.com/2007/10/spirit-to-spirit-communication.html&quot;&gt;&quot;Spirit to Spirit Communication&quot;&lt;/a&gt;  This communication between myself and another, was spoke in tongues, but in our own tongue.  Neither myself nor the other participant, knew what one another was saying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I hear Dutch Sheets it was not only the same language I speak in, but I understood everything he said.  While listening I would have a feeling well up in mean and an understanding come over me.  I was awed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first words that came from his mouth were the same words I start with and in the natural they are...Glorious Yahweh.  Praise be to God the almighty one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He spoke...Yours ears, I feel your ears.&lt;br /&gt;              Rain of blood has fallen, but you be restored.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there was another praise....I have found you God my strength.  You cradle my head and breathe on me then I feel life.  A light that I have followed now is deep within me, nourishing my spirit.  Giving me sustenance and power with authority.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dutch Sheets sang a bit in tongues and I heard....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;         In the darkness of my mine&lt;br /&gt;         you give me mercy.&lt;br /&gt;         In many ways, be glorified&lt;br /&gt;         Be kind to me Holy Father&lt;br /&gt;         I lay bare before you&lt;br /&gt;         longing for your truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;         Come to me Lord&lt;br /&gt;         Come to me&lt;br /&gt;         You are love, love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/%3Cobject%20width=%22500%22%20height=%22405%22%3E%3Cparam%20name=%22movie%22%20value=%22http://www.youtube.com/v/UOtf868aiBE&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;color1=0xe1600f&amp;amp;color2=0xfebd01&amp;amp;border=1%22%3E%3C/param%3E%3Cparam%20name=%22allowFullScreen%22%20value=%22true%22%3E%3C/param%3E%3Cparam%20name=%22allowscriptaccess%22%20value=%22always%22%3E%3C/param%3E%3Cembed%20src=%22http://www.youtube.com/v/UOtf868aiBE&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;color1=0xe1600f&amp;amp;color2=0xfebd01&amp;amp;border=1%22%20type=%22application/x-shockwave-flash%22%20allowscriptaccess=%22always%22%20allowfullscreen=%22true%22%20width=%22500%22%20height=%22405%22%3E%3C/embed%3E%3C/object%3E&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://given55.blogspot.com/2010/03/weird.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Given55)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-7-a-14t5EFkvdmBeMIXob5tX0cNvG-FGQvfdCHiHkOSzmYpEIAWLelGQZbnj_5jn0vffbnKntEH6MCd-2TvNWoMaxaHASgU945zMdMDcm8bWw8TjW4wIVJdCyEbx5j5cZicCEMsbqYPQ/s72-c/full-holy-spirit-window.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4289559856268658777.post-1898220901839237665</guid><pubDate>Tue, 23 Feb 2010 05:53:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-23T00:00:32.267-06:00</atom:updated><title>A Dutiful Alarm is Sounding</title><description>Please read articles I received from &quot;Christians United for Israel&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.memri.org/report/en/0/0/0/0/0/0/3987.htm&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;A War between Iran and the West Is Imminent&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;h1 style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=9900837&quot;&gt;Israel Unveils New Drone Fleet That Can Reach Iran&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;</description><link>http://given55.blogspot.com/2010/02/dutiful-alarm-is-sounding.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Given55)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4289559856268658777.post-6825393395690172505</guid><pubDate>Sat, 20 Feb 2010 20:49:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-20T15:56:05.213-06:00</atom:updated><title>Will of God</title><description>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXftOGdp-1mI5S2tay0NBXuWFBhPrrwz5B7_7F-wys7dt-y7qvEOHfwpqOSYPnzJZ3JOWMdXQBgfGW97ev6LMXs_yPm8Vs-9xoOhwYUbLaXgf_xZiX_Doj7FxgsqElhCifD-TMFPg8bq94/s1600-h/front-prayer.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXftOGdp-1mI5S2tay0NBXuWFBhPrrwz5B7_7F-wys7dt-y7qvEOHfwpqOSYPnzJZ3JOWMdXQBgfGW97ev6LMXs_yPm8Vs-9xoOhwYUbLaXgf_xZiX_Doj7FxgsqElhCifD-TMFPg8bq94/s320/front-prayer.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440443008639266082&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;We pray&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt; because prayer is crucial in determining &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;God&#39;s will.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have said many times, I try to only do what I see my Father doing.  So, it is in prayer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I offer no prayer for healing, unless my Father says, healing is what He wants.  It is not always, as many think, that healing is His will.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h4 style=&quot;font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Ecclesiastes 3&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup style=&quot;font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;&quot; class=&quot;versenum&quot; id=&quot;en-NIV-17361&quot;&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt; There is a time for  everything, &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;    and a season for every activity under heaven:  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup style=&quot;font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;&quot; class=&quot;versenum&quot; id=&quot;en-NIV-17362&quot;&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt; a time to be born and a time  to die&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;But, do we always pray God&#39;s will or do we pray a selfish prayer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To pray for something to happen is to say to God that you know better than Him! It is to say that you do not agree with the course of events that God has laid out. It is&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt; ignorant, misguided, confused but  most of all arrogant. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Asking God to act at a time when God knows it is not the right time to act is praying against His will. If it is right, God will have already planned to do it. If it is wrong, God won&#39;t do it. Your prayer will not change these facts. To pray like this is to oppose God, to harass Him, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;to make a statement that you think you  know better! It is&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;insolent and arrogant. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Jesus said &quot;Get thee behind me, Satan!&quot;&lt;/span&gt; to an apostle who thought he knew better than God&#39;s plan (even though the apostle was bemoaning suffering!)... by trying to sway God&#39;s mind through prayer, YOU are behaving in the same way as that apostle! No matter how good your intentions are, your own master , would call you Satanic for it! Think about what it means to pray hope or wish for things, you might find you&#39;re not doing what your God wants you to be doing!   Prayer should be, first, to find out the will of God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course if a desire goes against  Scripture, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;or if God has said no to it in a clear  and resolute way&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;praying for it is disrespectful to  God.  I should merely pray that God will give me a heart to accept   the situation and persist in that prayer until my heart changes.  But when God hasn&#39;t plainly said no,  I should feel not only freedom but a mandate to continue raising my request to him until he gives an explicit answer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Isaiah 59:2 (New International Version)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;2 But your iniquities have separated&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;       you from your God;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;       your sins have hidden his face from you,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;       so that he will not hear&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;1 John 5:14-15 (New Century Version)&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;14 And this is the boldness we have in God&#39;s presence:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt; that if we ask God for anything that agrees with what he wants,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;he hears us.15 If we know he hears us every time we ask him, &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;we know we have what we ask from him&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Admittedly, when no answer seems to be forthcoming, we can feel&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt; uneasy continuing to raise a request to God. We worry that we&#39;re &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;pestering God  and praying against his will. We should remember, &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;though, that prayer not only has an effect upon God but upon us.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt; Any prayer that I make--even one for a purely personal desire--has&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt; the effect of putting me in communication with God. A channel is &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;established through which he can influence my thoughts and feelings.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Listen for the will of God.  Be cautious of your own desires.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;&quot; id=&quot;passage_heading&quot;&gt;Proverbs 3:5 (New International Version)&lt;/h2&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;  Trust in the  LORD with all your heart&lt;br /&gt;  and lean not on your own  understanding.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Because our understanding is flawed, selfish and finite .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>http://given55.blogspot.com/2010/02/will-of-god.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Given55)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXftOGdp-1mI5S2tay0NBXuWFBhPrrwz5B7_7F-wys7dt-y7qvEOHfwpqOSYPnzJZ3JOWMdXQBgfGW97ev6LMXs_yPm8Vs-9xoOhwYUbLaXgf_xZiX_Doj7FxgsqElhCifD-TMFPg8bq94/s72-c/front-prayer.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4289559856268658777.post-6894929444890840279</guid><pubDate>Thu, 18 Feb 2010 12:47:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-18T06:50:25.170-06:00</atom:updated><title>Question????</title><description>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgekvGAa7_3DMbwxGR34mdAYg5Ih5F8al9IfChxXwg22DzODt58xZeUqazjqaoKuDwdzo119shOvkh0kz2eNWNep-GcxKFJ0qIVDWZBAMkH3szngJHAupZjZBHpP_cOHuvCpjPV2kGKS8GI/s1600-h/orthodox-jews-2.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 229px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgekvGAa7_3DMbwxGR34mdAYg5Ih5F8al9IfChxXwg22DzODt58xZeUqazjqaoKuDwdzo119shOvkh0kz2eNWNep-GcxKFJ0qIVDWZBAMkH3szngJHAupZjZBHpP_cOHuvCpjPV2kGKS8GI/s320/orthodox-jews-2.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439564927774510418&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been pondering...If Jesus Christ was a radical Jew, then is Christianity radical Judaism?</description><link>http://given55.blogspot.com/2010/02/question.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Given55)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgekvGAa7_3DMbwxGR34mdAYg5Ih5F8al9IfChxXwg22DzODt58xZeUqazjqaoKuDwdzo119shOvkh0kz2eNWNep-GcxKFJ0qIVDWZBAMkH3szngJHAupZjZBHpP_cOHuvCpjPV2kGKS8GI/s72-c/orthodox-jews-2.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4289559856268658777.post-1723427883267433211</guid><pubDate>Tue, 16 Feb 2010 21:18:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-16T15:28:58.785-06:00</atom:updated><title>A word from David Wilkerson</title><description>&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; font-family: &#39;Arial&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;;&quot;&gt;I LOOK  AT THE WHOLE RELIGIOUS SCENE TODAY AND ALL I SEE ARE INVENTIONS AND MINISTRIES  OF MAN AND FLESH. IT&#39;S MOSTLY POWERLESS, IT HAS NO IMPACT ON THE WORLD.  AND I SEE MORE OF THE WORLD COMING INTO THE CHURCH AND IMPACTING THE CHURCH  RATHER THAN THE CHURCH IMPACTING THE WORLD. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I SEE THE MUSIC TAKING OVER THE HOUSE OF GOD. I SEE ENTERTAINMENT TAKING OVER THE HOUSE OF GOD.  OBSESSION WITH ENTERTAINMENT IN GOD&#39;S HOUSE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; A HATRED OF CORRECTION AND A HATRED OF  REPROOF, NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR IT ANYMORE.  WHATEVER HAPPENED TO ANGUISH IN THE HOUSE OF GOD?  WHATEVER HAPPENED TO ANGUISH IN THE MINISTRY?  IT&#39;S A WORD YOU DON&#39;T HEAR IN THIS PAMPERED AGE. YOU DON&#39;T HEAR IT.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; ANGUISH MEANS EXTREME PAIN AND DISTRESS.  THE EMOTIONS SO STIRRED THAT IT  BECOMES PAINFUL.  ACUTE DEEPLY FELT INNER PAIN BECAUSE OF CONDITIONS ABOUT YOU,  IN  YOU, OR AROUND YOU.  ANGUISH.  DEEP PAIN.  DEEP SORROW.  AGONY OF GOD&#39;S HEART. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WE&#39;VE HELD ON TO OUR RELIGIOUS RHETORIC AND OUR REVIVAL TALK, BUT WE&#39;VE BECOME SO PASSIVE.  ALL TRUE PASSION IS BORN OUT OF ANGUISH.  ALL TRUE PASSION FOR CHRIST COMES OUT OF A BAPTISIM OF ANGUISH.  YOU SEARCH THE SCRIPTURE, AND YOU&#39;LL FIND THAT WHEN GOD DETERMINED TO RECOVER A RUINED SITUATION....HE WOULD SHARE HIS OWN  ANGUISH FOR WHAT GOD SAW HAPPENING TO HIS CHURCH AND TO HIS PEOPLE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; AND HE WOULD  FIND A PRAYING MAN AND HE WOULD TAKE THAT MAN AND LITERALLY BAPTIZE HIM IN  ANGUISH.  YOU FIND IT IN THE BOOK OF NEHEMIAH.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  JERUSALEM IS IN RUINS.  HOW IS GOD GOING TO DEAL WITH THIS?  HOW IS GOD GOING TO RESTORE THE RUIN?  FOLKS, LOOK AT ME....NEHEMIAH WAS NOT A PREACHER, HE WAS A CAREER MAN.  THIS WAS A PRAYING MAN.  GOD FOUND A MAN WHO WOULD NOT JUST HAVE A FLASH OF EMOTION.  NOT JUST SOME GREAT SUDDEN BURST OF CONCERN  AND THEN LET IT DIE.  HE SAID &quot;NO.  I BROKE DOWN AND WEPT AND I MORNED AND I FASTED.  THEN I BEGIN TO PRAY NIGHT AND DAY.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; WHY DIDN&#39;T THESE OTHER MEN, WHY DIDN&#39;T THEY HAVE AN ANSWER?  WHY DIDN&#39;T GOD USE THEM IN RESTORATION?  WHY DIDN&#39;T THEY HAVE A WORD?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; BECAUSE THERE WAS NO SIGN OF ANGUISH!  NO WEEPING!  NOT A WORD OF PRAYER!  IT&#39;S ALL RUIN!  DOES IT MATTER TO YOU TODAY....DOES IT MATTER TO YOU AT ALL THAT GOD&#39;S SPIRITUAL JERUSALEM, THE CHURCH, IS NOW MARRIED TO THE  WORLD?  THAT THERE IS SUCH A COLDNESS SWEEPING THE LAND?  CLOSER THAN THAT....DOES IT MATTER ABOUT THE JERUSALEM THAT IS IN OUR OWN HEARTS? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; THE SIGN OF RUIN THAT IS SLOWLY DRAINING SPIRITUAL POWER AND PASSION.  BLIND TO LUKE WARMNESS, BLIND TO THE MIXTURE THAT IS CREEPING IN.  THAT&#39;S ALL THE DEVIL WANTS TO DO IS GET THE FIGHT OUT OF YOU.  AND KILL IT.  SO YOU WON&#39;T LABOR IN PRAYER ANYMORE.  YOU WON&#39;T WEEP BEFORE GOD ANYMORE.  YOU CAN SIT AND WATCH TELEVISION AND YOUR FAMILY GO TO HELL. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LET ME ASK YOU.  IS WHAT I JUST SAID CONVICTED YOU AT ALL?  THERE IS A GREAT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANGUISH AND CONCERN.  CONCERN IS SOMETHING THAT  BEGINS TO INTEREST YOU, YOU TAKE AN INTEREST IN A PROJECT OR A CAUSE OR A  CONCERN OR A NEED.  I WANT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING I&#39;VE LEARNED OVER ALL MY YEARS, OF  50 YEARS OF PREACHING....IF IT IS NOT BORN IN ANGUISH, IF IT HAD NOT BEEN  BORN OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHERE WHAT YOU SAY AND HEARD OF THE RUIN THAT DROVE YOU  TO YOUR KNEES, TOOK YOU DOWN INTO A BAPTISIM OF ANGUISH WHERE YOU BEGAN TO  PRAY AND SEEK GOD.  I KNOW NOW, OH MY GOD DO I KNOW IT, UNTIL I AM IN AGONY, UNTIL I HAVE BEEN ANGUISHED OVER IT, AND ALL OUR PROJECTS, ALL OUR  MINISTRIES, EVERYTHING WE DO....WHERE ARE THE SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS THAT WEEP OVER  KIDS THEY KNOW ARE NOT HEARING AND GOING TO HELL?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; YOU SEE, A TRUE PRAYER  LIFE BEGINS AT THE PLACE OF ANGUISH.  YOU SEE, IF YOU SET YOUR HEART TO PRAY, GOD&#39;S GOING TO COME AND START SHARING HIS HEART WITH YOU.  YOUR HEART BEGINS TO CRY OUT- OH GOD YOUR NAME IS BEING BLASPHEMED.  HOLY SPIRIT IS BEING MOCKED.  THE ENEMY IS OUT TRYING TO DESTROY THE TESTIMONY OF THE LORD&#39;S FAITHFULNESS, AND SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE.  THERE IS GOING TO BE NO RENEWAL, NO REVIVAL, NO AWAKENING UNTIL WE ARE WILLING TO LET HIM  ONCE AGAIN BREAK US.  FOLKS, IT&#39;S GETTING LATE AND IT&#39;S GETTING SERIOUS.  PLEASE DON&#39;T TELL ME, DON&#39;T TELL ME YOUR CONCERNED....WHEN YOUR SPENDING HOURS  IN FRONT OF THE INTERNET OR TELEVISION.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; COME ON.  LORD, THERE ARE SOME THAT NEED TO GET TO THE ALTER AND CONFESS I AM NOT WHAT I WAS, I AM NOT  WHERE I AM SUPPOSED TO BE.  GOD I DON&#39;T HAVE YOUR HEART OR YOUR BURDEN, I&#39;VE  WANTED IT EASY.  I JUST WANTED TO BE HAPPY.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; BUT LORD, TRUE JOY COMES, TRUE JOY COMES OUT OF ANGUISH. THERE IS NOTHING OF THE FLESH WILL GIVE YOU  JOY.   I DON&#39;T CARE HOW MUCH MONEY, I DON&#39;T CARE WHAT KIND OF NEW HOUSE,  THERE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING PHYSICAL THAT CAN GIVE YOU JOY.  IT IS ONLY WHAT IS ACCOMPLISHED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT WHEN YOU OBEY HIM AND TAKE ON HIS HEART.  BUILD THE WALLS AROUND YOUR FAMILY.  BUILD THE WALLS AROUND YOUR OWN HEART.  MAKE YOU STRONG AND IMPREGNABLE AGAINST THE ENEMY. GOD, THAT&#39;S WHAT WE DESIRE.&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>http://given55.blogspot.com/2010/02/word-from-david-wilkerson.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Given55)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4289559856268658777.post-5600166371912078059</guid><pubDate>Sun, 14 Feb 2010 16:59:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-14T11:00:57.976-06:00</atom:updated><title>COMPLAINING</title><description>&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-family: lucida grande; font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;YOU&#39;D BE FAT AND CRANKY TOO, IF YOU HAD LUPUS AND A BROKEN RIB&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>http://given55.blogspot.com/2010/02/complaining.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Given55)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4289559856268658777.post-1083820665902065436</guid><pubDate>Sun, 14 Feb 2010 00:57:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-13T18:58:42.957-06:00</atom:updated><title>Enjoy</title><description>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgizRSFqmz_p-cT-de8C93iIQx_ZEunoifKNvjbtdb7UdWJNscUYdE2gd9I2RULsXKky8M8P561SrEGlXtb280MhyLwhO4gbm0UjHtTjCW_isZBO7xpdn986S1M8m9Ik842xqmOFPmOkB5s/s1600-h/toon.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 261px; height: 320px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgizRSFqmz_p-cT-de8C93iIQx_ZEunoifKNvjbtdb7UdWJNscUYdE2gd9I2RULsXKky8M8P561SrEGlXtb280MhyLwhO4gbm0UjHtTjCW_isZBO7xpdn986S1M8m9Ik842xqmOFPmOkB5s/s320/toon.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437897155361970466&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://given55.blogspot.com/2010/02/enjoy.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Given55)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgizRSFqmz_p-cT-de8C93iIQx_ZEunoifKNvjbtdb7UdWJNscUYdE2gd9I2RULsXKky8M8P561SrEGlXtb280MhyLwhO4gbm0UjHtTjCW_isZBO7xpdn986S1M8m9Ik842xqmOFPmOkB5s/s72-c/toon.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4289559856268658777.post-1352552269494525828</guid><pubDate>Fri, 12 Feb 2010 12:37:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-12T07:12:33.960-06:00</atom:updated><title>Change</title><description>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTVloM45YZZvX65x2LmKnIACCwDv5S5UF6MD6kvIXcFshf1pJfw7nC8-mfE47ccCFFTmFITV2Jwrt0305jVzGigQSJfE9Iw7r9vKBNV3R7RuTnznz0juu1apT5HtrvLdgJrfb2avHC26q0/s1600-h/God-designed-your-heart.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTVloM45YZZvX65x2LmKnIACCwDv5S5UF6MD6kvIXcFshf1pJfw7nC8-mfE47ccCFFTmFITV2Jwrt0305jVzGigQSJfE9Iw7r9vKBNV3R7RuTnznz0juu1apT5HtrvLdgJrfb2avHC26q0/s320/God-designed-your-heart.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437344154545408818&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because we are coming into a new season we must change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the last year or so , I have said multiple times that we need to prepare spiritually for the battle ahead.  Now, I will go further.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are coming into a new season.  This season will be full of contradictions.  You will see miracles from God and then you will see evil from hell.  You will see, as I am sure you already have, the good in people wither away into consumption of evil. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God will and is doing new things and if His people will respond to this new thing they will see His glory.  He does these new things because we are a new people.  Different from our past generations.  More skeptical.  More resolute to the negative.  More leaning toward the state of mind &quot;show me&quot; rather than a faith state of mind.  So, He will bring a new thing into this new season.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Lord is hovering over cities and people.  He is hovering to bring a new birth.  Just as He hovered over Mary and a child was born, He is again hovering and birthing.  But, do we see the followers of this day running to see this new birth or are they cuddled in their warm homes, complacent and content with the status quo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being prepared spiritually means being ready to get out of our box.  To be able to except a new thing from God, and to do this we must change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We must look into our selves and look for those things in us that God finds repulsive.  Not those things that we see ourselves doing every day, although, they also, need to be taken care of, but look deep.  There are roots, generational roots, that need to be taken care of.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The old saying, something about a bad apple spoiling the whole bunch.  This is true of our root.  A bad root can and will ruin the rest of our growth.  So, we either take care of that root by getting rid of it or and this is what we see most people doing, we just take care of the rest of the growth trying to stay ahead of the rot catching up we us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best to cut out that piece that leads us into hell.  Then instead of us taking care to not let the rot catch us, we can relax and let God nourish our growth. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God sees that root and wants us to fix the problem.  We ignore the root and will suffer the consequence. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When this new things comes and the glory of God is within this new thing, will you be able to enjoy or will you feel dirty and unworthy.  Do. you have a root that needs to be taken care of.  Then , dear reader, go into your prayer closet and turn it into an operating room.  Give God the scalpel and let Him cut that thing out of you.  Then you will enjoy the new thing and know that God is doing this new thing, just for you.</description><link>http://given55.blogspot.com/2010/02/change.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Given55)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTVloM45YZZvX65x2LmKnIACCwDv5S5UF6MD6kvIXcFshf1pJfw7nC8-mfE47ccCFFTmFITV2Jwrt0305jVzGigQSJfE9Iw7r9vKBNV3R7RuTnznz0juu1apT5HtrvLdgJrfb2avHC26q0/s72-c/God-designed-your-heart.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4289559856268658777.post-7269576769310373922</guid><pubDate>Wed, 10 Feb 2010 12:46:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-10T06:58:43.860-06:00</atom:updated><title>A Prophetic Word from Don Franklin</title><description>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot; name=&quot;Ireland Fire&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Word of the Lord 2010 -The Holy Spirit is Rising&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 113%; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-weight: bold;&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 128);font-family:Papyrus;font-size:6px;&quot;  &gt;                    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(128, 0, 0);font-family:Gill Sans MT;font-size:100%;&quot;  &gt;Prophecy                         by Don Franklin, @ Ignited Church, January 2010 &lt;/span&gt;                         &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 113%;&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;;font-family:Gill Sans MT;font-size:85%;&quot;  &gt;                            &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.propheticroundtable.org/images/Audio%201.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;13&quot; width=&quot;20&quot; /&gt;  &lt;b&gt;Listen                         to audio&lt;/b&gt;: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.propheticroundtable.org/Audio/Word_for_2010.WMA&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.propheticroundtable.org/Audio/Word_for_2010.WMA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;                         &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And I would even warn you now; I am going  to go                         beyond your expectations; I’m going to go beyond  your                         traditions. I’m going to go where you’ve never  gone                         before because I’m going back to the Book of  Acts.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;                          &lt;/span&gt;I’m going back to the foundation of the  Church                         and I’m going to rebuild what the enemy  destroyed.&lt;/p&gt;                         &lt;p&gt;You’re going to understand what grace is in a                         level, in a dimension you’ve never comprehended.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;                          &lt;/span&gt;You’re going to understand what the power  of                         God is for.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;You’re                         going to understand that you cannot control the  moves                         and the waves and the anointings of the Holy  Ghost.&lt;/p&gt;                         &lt;p&gt;There is something coming upon the Church and  the                         earth in this year.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;                          &lt;/span&gt;2010 is an amazing year.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;                          &lt;/span&gt;You will see extremes in weather; you  will see                         extremes in the Church and you will see extremes  in the                         world.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;There                         is going to be a major, major, major division  within the                         Church.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;And                         you are either going to come forward into future  that                         the Holy Ghost has for the Church – I am going  to                         wrestle the Church away from the hand of man and  I’m                         going to bring it into the hand of the Holy  Ghost.&lt;/p&gt;                         &lt;p&gt;And only those who will fully walk with and  agree                         with and move with the Holy Ghost will prosper  in the                         coming days.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;This                         is the Word of the Lord to the Church and it  will be                         binding worldwide.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The                         Holy Ghost is rising in every continent, every  nation,                         every culture, every subculture and he is going  to                         implement his control upon the Church.&lt;/p&gt;                         &lt;p&gt;It is going to be marvelous; it is going to  be                         wonderful; it is going to be full of grace and  love and                         glory and signs and wonders and everything that  you’ve                         dreamed of.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;But                         the flipside to that is: those who will not  cooperate                         with, walk with, and allow the Holy Spirit to  have his                         control and even his dominance over the Church  will                         simply be cut off and fall back. They will  become a                         byword, a proverb, a waylaid; they will be  cutoff.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;                          &lt;/span&gt;You will see them green for a season and  then                         they will wither and die.&lt;/p&gt;                         &lt;p&gt;I am pruning; I am chopping; I am cutting at  the Body                         and I’m going to restore people that you said  could                         not be restored because of their sins, because  of their                         failures, because of their faults.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;                          &lt;/span&gt;And I’m going to bring down those that  you                         thought were impenetrable rocks, because at the  core of                         those rocks there is rottenness, saith God;  there is                         corruption; there is abuse and only the Lord  knows.&lt;/p&gt;                         &lt;p&gt;Only God knew that David had killed Uriah and  taken                         Bathsheba and Nathan only found out from the  Word of the                         Lord. &lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;So it                         is, saith God, even those at times seem to be  bulwarks                         and pillars of complete righteousness, sometimes  within                         the core of that righteousness there is a spot;  there is                         a blemish.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The                         Lord says everything that has been done in  secret shall                         be revealed.&lt;/p&gt;                         &lt;p&gt;So, reveal yourself at the altar.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;                          &lt;/span&gt;Go throw yourself on the altar.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;                          &lt;/span&gt;I do not want to harm anyone.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;                          &lt;/span&gt;I do not want to bring correction upon  anyone.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;                          &lt;/span&gt;I do not want to expose anyone, saith  God.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;                          &lt;/span&gt;Throw yourself upon the altar while you  may; fall                         upon the Rock.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Confess                         your sins; go before the Lord and lay yourself  low.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;                          &lt;/span&gt;Say, “I know I’ve erred; I know I’ve                         sinned.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I do                         not want to face open judgment.”&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;                         &lt;p&gt;Because the day is coming when open judgment  will                         come back to the Church.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;                          &lt;/span&gt;I dropped Herod in his tracks and turned  him into                         worms.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I                         brought Ananias and Sapphira to a low place. I  will once                         again deal heavily with the Church, but in this  dealing                         there will also be incredible blessing and power  and                         anointing.&lt;/p&gt;                         &lt;p&gt;So, oh, lift up your heads; be full of joy;  be full                         of happiness.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Learn                         to live in a state of repentance before the  Lord. Come                         to God with all of your problems.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;                          &lt;/span&gt;I am a father.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;                          &lt;/span&gt;I am moved by your plight; I am moved.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;                          &lt;/span&gt;I am not going to bring extreme judgment  and                         correction upon those who come to the Lord with  their                         problems.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I                         will bring healing; the Son of Righteousness  will rise                         with healing in his wings.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;                          &lt;/span&gt;You will not find condemnation from the  hand of                         God.&lt;/p&gt;                         &lt;p&gt;Only when you seek to hide your sin and then  to go                         forward and to actually manipulate and con the  Body,                         then you will be exposed, saith the Lord. &lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;But                         there are major, major, major moves coming on  every                         continent, in every nation.&lt;/p&gt;                         &lt;p&gt;And I’m bringing this church back into a  powerful                         move and this congregation, this church will be  at the                         forefront of what I am doing and it will be                         controversial.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Get                         your shields up because the enemy will attack.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;                          &lt;/span&gt;Get your mind mentally prepared for the  assault                         that the enemy will throw against this very  House. There                         will come a demonic onslaught against this  House.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;                          &lt;/span&gt;But I will give you armor that you have  not know                         of yet; I will give you, release Angels into  this House                         that have not yet been released.&lt;/p&gt;                         &lt;p&gt;   If you will hide yourself in God, it won’t  even                         touch you; it won’t even faze you.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;                          &lt;/span&gt;You will laugh at the assault of the  enemy. And                         if you will align yourself with the Holy Ghost  and do                         the things that he puts in your heart to do, you  will                         find yourself rising, rising, rising, rising,  rising,                         into a place in God that is impenetrable.&lt;/p&gt;                         &lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;                          &lt;/span&gt;This is the Word of the Lord to you.&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;                          &lt;/span&gt;Have faith; have joy; have happiness  because                         great things are coming for you – great  tribulation                         upon the Church and part of the House of God,  but great                         reward and benefit for those who are low before  the Lord                         confessing their sins and looking for the coming  of the                         Son of Man.                         &lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 113%;&quot;&gt;                        &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://given55.blogspot.com/2010/02/prophetic-word-from-don-franklin.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Given55)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4289559856268658777.post-1828669553093414547</guid><pubDate>Tue, 09 Feb 2010 14:08:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-09T09:11:52.114-06:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">God</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Holy Spirit</category><title>Jeremiah 14</title><description>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLauIAdo-8yBBVDiYVDp06dSD4NdheCDnXJ7h2pD1W1lHp5-Jx5TbuNd6g8_W5AJoivnywjYJ6UTJCuMOke-YCRSrEX-8zzAs2r1qyIznKKMDDe5a0MvQbJJdQeDp8x2RGSqfkreTUd5iG/s1600-h/HolySpirit.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLauIAdo-8yBBVDiYVDp06dSD4NdheCDnXJ7h2pD1W1lHp5-Jx5TbuNd6g8_W5AJoivnywjYJ6UTJCuMOke-YCRSrEX-8zzAs2r1qyIznKKMDDe5a0MvQbJJdQeDp8x2RGSqfkreTUd5iG/s320/HolySpirit.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436259992336390642&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Lord has spoke to me through a friend and His Word.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=jeremiah%2014&amp;amp;version=NIV#en-NIV-19308&quot;&gt;Jeremiah 14&lt;/a&gt; is in the natural, speaking of drought and famine.  The Lord has showed me what the spiritual meaning is and it is frightening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wrote a post last year call &lt;a href=&quot;http://given55.blogspot.com/2009/02/it-is-so.html&quot;&gt;&quot;It is So&quot;&lt;/a&gt;, in the post the Lord showed me that He would be removing His Spirit from the land.  Now, He, has again, confirmed this word.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The famine, is the removing of the Holy Spirit from this land.  We look for the Spirit and long for the Spirit, but He is pulling away.  He is not pulling away from us spiritually, but from the land.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We shout repentance, but the Lord has said to me &quot;Your repentance means nothing without humility and you have forgotten how to be humble.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7 Although our sins testify against us,&lt;br /&gt;     O LORD, do something for the sake of your name.&lt;br /&gt;     For our backsliding is great;&lt;br /&gt;     we have sinned against you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8 O Hope of Israel,&lt;br /&gt;     its Savior in times of distress,&lt;br /&gt;     why are you like a stranger in the land,&lt;br /&gt;     like a traveler who stays only a night?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A taste here and there, of the Holy Spirit, is not enough, but we settle for it. The church is complacent.  We settle in every arena of life and spirituality for less than fullness.  Where is our fear of the Lord?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10 This is what the LORD says about this people:&lt;br /&gt;     &quot;They greatly love to wander;&lt;br /&gt;     they do not restrain their feet.&lt;br /&gt;     So the LORD does not accept them;&lt;br /&gt;     he will now remember their wickedness&lt;br /&gt;     and punish them for their sins.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have said in the past to consider what God wants before you pray.  You may be just praying against the will of God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11 Then the LORD said to me, &quot;Do not pray for the well-being of this people. 12 Although they fast, I will not listen to their cry; though they offer burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them. Instead, I will destroy them with the sword, famine and plague.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There comes a time, in the love of God, when even He, has had enough.  The Lord has shown me, that enough is enough.  The church, most, do not want to hear this word.  It is easier to stay in their business instead of moving into the Spirit.  It is easier to play Christian than to walk it.  It is easier to flow with the stream than to flow against the tide.  We have been warned through His word and through His prophets that He has grown tired of our playing Christian and yet we continue to be disobedient.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I grieve most often.  It took my husbands mouth for me to figure it out.  I grieve the loss of the Spirit in the land.  I can feel Him leaving.  I can feel the sin and depravity of that loss and I would like nothing more than to go with the Spirit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you continue to walk in blatant sin.  Has the Lord told you something or convicted you of something and you continue in your earthly contentment.  We seem to listen to God and feel the conviction, but then with time we, again, grow complacent.   We no longer humble ourselves to do the hard stuff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you not understand that there is not enough time left for you to be fooling around with the Lord.  NOT ENOUGH TIME!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeremiah 14 says it all.  We are a fallen people in a land where the church does not care, any longer, about the things outside of the church.  We, some how, have come into the idea, that, that stuff will not touch me.  Please, listen, you have a responsibility to pray, spread the Word and to stand up against those things that are not of God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It will get harder.  But, if you can not stand up now, what will it be for you in the era to come.  Build up your spiritual strength or you will be left behind and wonder why.</description><link>http://given55.blogspot.com/2010/02/jeremiah-14_09.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Given55)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLauIAdo-8yBBVDiYVDp06dSD4NdheCDnXJ7h2pD1W1lHp5-Jx5TbuNd6g8_W5AJoivnywjYJ6UTJCuMOke-YCRSrEX-8zzAs2r1qyIznKKMDDe5a0MvQbJJdQeDp8x2RGSqfkreTUd5iG/s72-c/HolySpirit.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4289559856268658777.post-6527291527547045336</guid><pubDate>Mon, 08 Feb 2010 15:02:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-08T09:09:54.445-06:00</atom:updated><title>A Short Note &quot;HICCUPS&quot;</title><description>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9poOZ4Iz4nm3rANyRBWedjtUd7EQlgJpNCf_wlG-0WXGk5lqriVB9qClrChMyZnumqrAMfRmK9mPS0F2EgMyiMuej5IOKLLhTUX63v07KvcxZuYJ89VO_Oji2ZzSyRkSdr8UGKCWU_M9M/s1600-h/hiccups.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 262px; height: 320px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9poOZ4Iz4nm3rANyRBWedjtUd7EQlgJpNCf_wlG-0WXGk5lqriVB9qClrChMyZnumqrAMfRmK9mPS0F2EgMyiMuej5IOKLLhTUX63v07KvcxZuYJ89VO_Oji2ZzSyRkSdr8UGKCWU_M9M/s320/hiccups.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435889730428468066&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have cracked or bruised my ribs.

I am in a lot of pain and on pain medication.  So, my mind is floating on drugs.  But, I have something that I want to share.  So, I hope that it will make sense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had a dream a few weeks back.  In the dream, I am in the country.  I am standing next to a house with my dog.  The house is yellow, so it is not my farm house.  I can not see another human being any where.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I look to the north and I see a fire storm coming at me.  It is huge.  Taller than any tree that I have ever seen and as wide as the east is to the west.  There was a wind inside of it that made the fire roll and crash like the waves at the ocean side.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I knew that my dog and myself were about to die.  I did not want my dog to fear, so I laid down on the ground and held onto him.  As we laid there waiting, I said to the heavenlies, &quot;God take me.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About that moment, I left my body and began to watch the scene from above.  When I looked down on my body, the fire was rolling across and my body was not experiencing pain.  But, the body that I was looking at, was now myself as a child.  Then I woke up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am a very blessed person.  I never remember my dreams in less they are from God.  So, I began to ask God what the dream meant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did not get to far.  No answer was forth coming.  So, I shared the dream with my home church to see if God would speak through one of them.  He did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An end time dream, my friends began to seek God for answers.  Weather,  the fire storm was prophetic or not no one is sure.  But, the rest of the dream became very clear.  For myself, I have a need to always bring comfort to those in need.  Even my dog would not be allowed to fear without comfort.  The message from God that I must share with you is this.... That in this time.  In this trial.  In this struggle come to Him as a child.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Word tells us this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a linkindex=&quot;97&quot; href=&quot;http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+18:3&amp;amp;version=NCV&quot;&gt;Matthew 18:3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then he said, &quot;I tell you the truth, you must change and become like little &lt;b&gt;child&lt;/b&gt;ren. Otherwise, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God has called me a dutiful alarm.  So, I am sounding an alarm.  It is of the utmost importance that you, dear reader, learn how to come to the Lord, rely on the Lord, as a child would their own parents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are in a time of many changes and trials.  We will find that there is no where for us to turn, no one to help us, no peace.  The chaos in your life might feel horrible now, just wait.  This is only a fore taste of what is to come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pray, dear reader, pray.  Ask your God to help you learn His ways and to teach you how to come to him as a child.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While my home church group was discussing my dream the Lord showed me more.  When a child is born there is a blank slate in there brain.  They have somethings that come by instinct for survival, but other than that, there is more or less nothing.  Total reliance on those around them.  There is not even trust there.  This comes as the child grows.  The child does, however, know the voice of God.  This child just came from the maker of the universe and has not been thus far poisoned by the things of this earth.  The child has a link to God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is how we need to be in this time.  To be a blank slate transfixed on God.  Coming to Him like a child.  How to achieve this&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.  &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a linkindex=&quot;26&quot; href=&quot;http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+119:105&amp;amp;version=NIV&quot;&gt;Psalm 119:105&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your word is a &lt;b&gt;lamp&lt;/b&gt; to my &lt;b&gt;feet&lt;/b&gt;  and a light for my path&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I know the Word, which is how I was before I was born, then I will know how to react in any situation.  The Word gives me comfort and peace.  It instructs me in my daily life.  I learn to lean on the Word, which is the Lord, in all things.  It is my parent.  The Word is what feeds me, it is what I rely on and trust.  I learn from learning the word how to come to God has a child.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I become a child.</description><link>http://given55.blogspot.com/2010/02/dream.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Given55)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic9G8aowWAfIqkwEFwLjsS8yiHgiQvyLz0n7VVdJmI9j3G1YyKTeQg3HxmeexGWjrOQim8lw6qwR7j67svi39PXLTLS7yd7IUABGZ4EB6OfrjMSLqvUfvOtn3w1b38nKk7FV3v36H7l3Q5/s72-c/shim.gif" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4289559856268658777.post-6505442016279939241</guid><pubDate>Mon, 01 Feb 2010 15:52:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-02-01T10:09:57.644-06:00</atom:updated><title>Time to Go!!!</title><description>Years ago, the Lord spoke to me through Hawks.  I wrote about it in the post &lt;a href=&quot;http://given55.blogspot.com/2007/10/audible-voice-of-god.html&quot;&gt;&quot;The Audible Voice of God&quot;&lt;/a&gt;.  A few weeks back, the Lord, again spoke to me in this way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My husband and I were coming home from working on the farm.  My husband pointed out a huge hawk sitting on a fence post.  I looked and praise God.  Since my first experience with hawks and God, I always praise Him when I see one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After, my praise, I turned my head back to the road and saw another hawk on the other side of the road.  Then just like years before another and another hawk was found along side of the road.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I said to God, &quot;You are obviously going to tell me something important, but I have a request.  If it is time for us to leave the city, please let me see a hawk on the ground.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the moment the Lord spoke,  &quot;You know how a hawk sits on high and stares at his prey?  He stares so intently that he can see even his prey&#39;s muscle twitch.  Go, when you see your enemies muscle twitch.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, like before, I had no idea what that meant, but I was excited.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The hawks did not stop.  We drove for 60 miles and must have seen 30-40 hawks.  When we got to the city, I thought they would stop.  But, they did not.  Then, from the ground a hawk, in the middle of the city, flew off the ground and flew right over the top of our car.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My husband and I looked at each other and smiled.  Then fear came, then joy.  Knowing that it was time to leave, but not knowing what to do next.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What would be our next step?  Now, we know.  My husband, after we after waited 13 months, has lost his job and we have no choice but to go.  What great timing God has.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, this is my husbands last week of work.  We will finish work on the farm and move.  The Lord told me to go last year and the time is nigh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I praise the Lord for His love and timing and that He is always taking care of us.</description><link>http://given55.blogspot.com/2010/02/time-to-go.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Given55)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4289559856268658777.post-2887421370246132792</guid><pubDate>Wed, 02 Sep 2009 15:29:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-09-02T10:53:17.951-05:00</atom:updated><title>Where Am I??</title><description>Lately I have been much ado about nothing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have watched has the world falls further in decay and pray that the Lord&#39;s will be done here in this place.  But,  I know that where God is there to is Satan.  I wonder, how many of us come under confusion in this hour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have, again, fallen under persecution, from the church.  Which causes me to ponder my walk with God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By walking in my gifts that the Lord has given me, I am again, ousted from the church.  Because one does not understand a gift does not make it from Satan.   So, I ask myself, am I out of line with God.  Am I deceived by Satan and am serving him instead of the Living God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, in the eyes of the church I follow another besides Jesus.  I am far from my redeemer. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My husband reminds me that the proof of walking with God is in the fruit of our labor.  I have seen many blessed by God using me.  But, if God is the great deceiver, than maybe those blessings are nothing more than the power of suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I sound confused, I am.  I know....Satan if the author of confusion.  But, I must thing this through...my salvation is my concern.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tired of leaving churches, my next move will be to either find another or stop going all together.  I am not persecuted by my brothers and sisters in Christ, only by their spiritual head...the pastor.  I am seen as dangerous by those in authority. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I ponder.  Am I right in the eyes of God.  Have I stepped over that spiritual line between God and darkness.  Where am I...what am I in God&#39;s eyes?  If He made me this way then He knew what lied ahead of me in the church.  Where does he want me?  It must not be going to church. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would suppose that God would not want me to isolate..but, his leaders rebuke me and send me on my way.  Oh, I could stay at the church I am at now, but, I would not be able to speak truth nor pray for the sick.  I would be silenced.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still have my small group, but that is through the church that is silencing me.  They will tell those who attend, that go to the church, to stop going.  That is just a small percentage of those who come, but it is still a call to silence me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, again I ponder.  What do I do?  Do I close my small group...Do I find another church....Do I isolate and keep silent?  I do not have the answer as of yet.  I, truly, have not asked God this question yet.  Maybe, I do not want to know the answer. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am a friend of God and I hope He is my friend.  I pray that I am in line with the Holy of Holies.</description><link>http://given55.blogspot.com/2009/09/where-am-i.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Given55)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4289559856268658777.post-4137056328951353428</guid><pubDate>Tue, 07 Apr 2009 11:21:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-04-07T06:24:08.363-05:00</atom:updated><title>Support Israel</title><description>I have joined Christians United for Israel.

In this post I shared what God had shown me.  He showed me what it would be like, hear on this earth, in the next few months.  It would be like when God left Christ at the cross and Christ said &lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 102, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&quot;My God, My God, why have you forsaken&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;me.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I am mot one to look for the Biblical truth behind what God says to me.  I just believe it to be so.  But, for many this is the way to proof of the truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a young man whom I mentor.  He accepts what God tells me as truth, but always heads to the Bible for confirmation.  Many have rebuked what I have relayed on this word, so my young friends truth are important.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God will take out His spirit from the land.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);&quot;&gt;2 Thessalonians 2:7 (Amplified Bible)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);&quot;&gt;For the mystery of lawlessness (that hidden principle of rebellion against constituted authority) is already at work in the world, [but it is] restrained only until he who restrains is taken out of the way.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many say this can not be, because the Spirit lives within us.  Even though it is here in black and white they refuse to listen.  So, this last weekend, I again, was at the same location as the last retreat.  And, again, I placed myself away from the camp at 5 am, in the rain and talked with God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He told me that He does not take the Spirit from us but, from the land.  Do people not understand that the Spirit can be in the land as easy as He can be in us.  Without the Spirit in the land, lawlessness will be out of control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);&quot;&gt;Amos 8: 11-12&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);&quot;&gt;Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord God, when I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but [a famine] for hearing the words of the Lord.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);&quot;&gt;And [the people] shall wander from sea to sea and from the north even to the east; they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord [inquiring for and requiring it as one requires food], but shall not find it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope that for all whom doubt what God has said to me, will now believe.  Prepare for the Lord comes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While I was sitting talking to the Lord this weekend, I had a bit of trouble.  I had no questions for Him. I just sat there and waited for Him to speak.  Thoughts would come to my head and then an answer.  I said out loud.  &quot;Am I talking to myself?&quot;  It was different than our usual conversation.  I left a little in doubt that I was hearing from God.  Then He confirmed what I was hearing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My mind was mostly concerned with our farm.  Was I doing the right thing by getting it ready for people to run to when things got bad.  These are the things that God said to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Calamity will pour out like rain, but you will be refreshed knowing that I am returning.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Find joy in all things&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then I started to wonder and ask questions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Lord, how will I know you?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He answered, &quot;You will find me in the rocks, in the trees, in the people.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I asked a question that I have pondered for a while.  I had been taken away into two visions at two different times that were similar.  One was my own execution.  The other, my young friends execution.  So, I asked, are these truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He answered.  &quot;There are two paths. One is yours and one is mine.  Stay out of the city.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not sure if I was manipulating the conversation, I went back to the lodge and opened my Bible.  It opened to Isaiah 26:3-4 and then He told me to read verse 20.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);&quot;&gt;Isaiah 26:3-4 (Amplified Bible)&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);&quot;&gt;You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);&quot;&gt;So trust in the Lord (commit yourself to Him, lean on Him, hope confidently in Him) forever; for the Lord God is an everlasting Rock [the Rock of Ages]&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And 20.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);&quot;&gt;Isaiah 26:20 (Amplified Bible)&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);&quot;&gt;Come, my people, enter your chambers and shut your doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until the [Lord&#39;s] wrath is past.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My own Biblical confirmation.  Thank you God.</description><link>http://given55.blogspot.com/2009/03/confirmation.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Given55)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhflH-o3pjDnIzFt9r9ynCp3p8YsDp_Mx1DPVyPBozwAJ7-JMjeDn8ytXQcH6X3G9MYV7fiPDqBcqa5H8TLJ5kuwJpu8PX2cUjXRijzcdcUKWz-zTG6hRDThyphenhyphenEJiEs-0oFbBpDaAr_jJctO/s72-c/Despair___Print_855_img11865588188.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>4</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
