Pinks All Out


Voice of Prayer
In the day of the "hot rod" or what would be referred to street rods, one would know it to be a vehicle considered with muscle in the field of automotive and collectors. In the day of street racing those hot rods, seen a lot in the fifties and sixties, one would see that "older" vehicle, tricked out with all new muscle under the hood as well as in the paint and excessive chrome and pipes! There were movies made about the youth of that day, like those with James Dean in Rebel,drove a 1949 Mercury, Steve McQueen in the movie Bullit, drove a 1968 Ford Mustang 390 GT 2+2 Fastback ( plus a 1968 Dodge Charger 440 Magnum, Marlon Brandon in the Wild One 1953 (motorcycles), John Travolta, in Grease 1978 was involved with friends who raced, and my favorite, American Graffiti, 1973 with Ron Howard, Paul LeMat, Cindy Williams and Charles Martin Smith.


In these mostly unscheduled and at times chosen was where the streets were empty, the race would be designated to start. The involved knew where the local police would be while the race was in progress. No involvement from outsiders while those chose to flex muscle was on parade in those street rods.
In the agreement with the parties racing, "pinks all out" meant each driver who raced and lost had to give up that shiny vehicle of muscle. The pink slip meant they owned that vehicle and were willing to give it up to another as the loser. And in most eyes some of what was considered muscle I would not have given a second look at, but the agreement held. In some cases, one of the driver's might lose control and actually die in the race for pink!

In the last several months, I was getting this word and asking the Lord what it meant, "pinks all out".  In referring to His kingdom and His purpose, I continued to pray and read the word of God and giving thanks to have those times with Him to learn and also know everything I needed to know to do what He asked me to do for this life. That word "pinks all out" continued every day..........and then on the first of February I got this "Ides of March"....which if you studied Julius Caesar in school, that is the day his friends murdered him. Yeah, you have got to watch those closest to you, right? In Julius Caesar's greatest moments of conquest, and triumph, his team rallied and killed him.

So now I had two main words, "Pinks all Out " and "Ides of March". I continued to pray and ask the Lord the meaning and what should be prayed for these things that evidently was going to appear on the scene of human history. I thanked Him for all information coming on how to pray and what our assignment would be.
 On February 23, I found out what they all meant together. Seems there is a plan to inundate the president of this nation with pink cards to being a pink slip given to an employee being fired. REALLY?
It seems there are some who want to send hate mail. 
I received from The Elijah List, a record written by Jane Hansen Hoyt of Edmonds Washington.  is asking all to begin sending in postcards to President Trump to simply say, "I am praying for you."
Now Jane Hansen Hoyt serves as President/CEO of Aglow Internationl, a Kingdom community of more than 200,000 warriors, champions and global leaders who touch 17 million people annually. This is a community set for expanding and strengthening the kingdom of God in Christ.
Mrs. Hoyt expresses the urgency to send cards of support and the address is noted below:
President Donald. J. Trump
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. NW
Washington,DC 20500

We must take note of what occurred in the Bible especially when someone chooses to go against what God is doing. Even David would not go against King Saul knowing that he was anointed by God to do the job in that nation.
In two accounts David did not do harm to the King of Israel. Found in 1 Samuel 24-28 reveals accounts that David had opportunity but could not touch that which God was doing in Israel at the time. In this reading you will find anger, revenge, pride and yes, humility.
David could not touch the king!

Take note of "the one who lifts their hand against the Lord's anointed"........and it includes those considered to be God's servants. God gave warning to Abimelech, the king of Gerar not to harm Abraham.
Genesis 20:7  NKJV  7 Now therefore, restore the man's wife, for he is a prophet and he will pray for you and you shall live. But if you do not restore her, know that you shall surely die, you and all who are yours.

God also warns Laban not to harm Jacob. YOU can find this in Genesis 31 and verse 24.
Genesis 31:24. NKJV
24 But God had come to Laban, the Syrain in a dream by night, and said to him, "Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad.




1 Chronicles 16:18-22    NKJV 18 Saying "to you I will give the land of Canaan as the allotment of your inheritance." 19 When you were few in number, Indeed very few, and strangers in it, 20 When they went from one nation to another, and from one kingdom to another people 21 He permitted no man do do them wrong; yes, He rebuked kings for their sakes, 22 saying "Do not touch my anointed ones." " and do MY prophets no harm."
Psalm  105:15   NKJV  15 Saying, "Do not touch My anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm."

In the book of Acts we find Paul speaking about anyone who speaks evil about a ruler of the people. He is actually quoting from Exodus 22:28.
Acts 23 1-5   NKJV Then Paul, looking earnestly at the council said, "Men and brethren I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day. 2 And the high priest Ananias commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth. 3 Then Paul said to him, "God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! For you sit to judge me according to the law, and do you command me to be struck contrary to the law?" 4 And  those who stood by said, "DO you revile God's high priest?" 5 Then Paul said, "I did not know brethren, that he was the high priest for it is written, "You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people."

Proverbs 8:14 tells us, that counsel is mine and sound wisdom; I am understanding I have strength 15 for by me kings reign and rulers decree justice 16 by me princes rule and nobles, all the judges of the earth.

In this we are to know that we are to fear the Lord understanding that coming to God we gain His sound wisdom and gain strength. Turning toward God is important right now. Understanding that this nation of America was founded on biblical principles. And was started or began in God and dedicated to HIM, then anything against God and what he is doing will bring horrific results to those against God Himself.
In a recent teaching given on "Voice of Prayer" my you tube channel the "Strong and the Unflinching" ( Wednesday, February 22) we are to see what God is doing, understand, and know that what we are seeing is marvelous in our eyes.  Psalm 118:22-24     NKJV  22 The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. 23 This was the LORD'S doing and it is marvelous in our eyes. 24 This is the day the LORD has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Amen!

Understand that this is God's doing, and anything to harm what God has appointed is not a good thing to be against. Pinks all out will certainly affect many people, and their families, their jobs and anything or anyone connected to doing in opposition of God and His plan for this recent new administration. The prophetic word of Trump becoming President was given in Charisma magazine in 2015..(summer)..and our niece sent us the article. We began to pray then, and we saw many stand to put their name in for the run to the White House. We saw them all leave, because we are a praying nation, a nation under one God and He is Jehovah, and His son is Jesus, the Redeemer, and the redeemed here speak that God will have His way and understand that we should remain under His hand, His leading and by His power of the Holy Spirit. Trump was the elected one and done by and in God.
Let's stand in the justice that is in God and our salvation and send out those cards that let our President know that we are with him through his service to this nation under God that will not be divided.............with liberty that is in the one true God. Liberty is being free in that which is found as the precepts of His great Word, manifested in Jesus. We are the free and the blessed, now give thanks to God and encourage His leader.
Who wants to be found fighting against God?

Refreshments Served Here!

Genesis 24:1-21....................24:1 Now Abraham was old, well advanced in age; and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things. 2 So Abraham said to the oldest servant of his house, who ruled over all that he had, "Please, put your hand under my thigh, 3 and I will make you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell; 4 but you shall go to my country and to my family, and take a wife for my son Isaac." 5 And the servant said to him, "Perhaps the woman will not be willing to follow me to this land. Must I take your son back to the land from which you came?" 6 But Abraham said to him, "Beware that you do not take my son back there. 7 The LORD God of heaven, who took me from my father's house and from the land of my family, and who spoke to me and swore to me, saying, 'To your descendants I give this land,' He will send His angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there. 8 And if the woman is not willing to follow you, then you will be released from this oath; only do not take my son back there." 9 So the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.

10 Then the servant took ten of his master's camels and departed, for all his master's goods were in his hand. And he arose and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor. 11 And he made his camels kneel down outside the city by a well of water at evening time, the time when women go out to draw water. 12 Then he said, "O LORD God of my master Abraham, please give me success this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham. 13 Behold, I stand here by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water. 14 Now let it be that the young woman to whom I say, 'Please let down your pitcher that I may drink,' and she says, 'Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink'--let her be the one You have appointed for Your servant Isaac. And by this I will know that You have shown kindness to my master."

15 And it happened, before he had finished speaking, that behold, Rebekah, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, came out with her pitcher on her shoulder. 16 Now the young woman was very beautiful to behold, a virgin; no man had known her. And she went down to the well, filled her pitcher, and came up. 17 And the servant ran to meet her and said, "Please let me drink a little water from your pitcher." 18 So she said, "Drink, my lord." Then she quickly let her pitcher down to her hand, and gave him a drink. 19 And when she had finished giving him a drink, she said, "I will draw water for your camels also, until they have finished drinking." 20 Then she quickly emptied her pitcher into the trough, ran back to the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels. 21 And the man, wondering at her, remained silent so as to know whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.  NKJV

Don't you love how things will come together, when obeying God and seeing His plan revealed for something specific?
In verse 10 above and following, we surely see a servant willing to obey his master Abraham and Abraham giving him the exact word and instruction to do on the trip to Mesopotamia and the city of Nahor.
Even this servant, Eliezer, had to speak the same thing as Abraham. When arriving at the city well of water at the time of evening, he spoke a prayer........"O LORD God of my master Abraham, please give me success this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham. 13 Behold, I stand here by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water. 14 Now let it be that the young woman to whom I say, 'Please let down your pitcher that I may drink,' and she says, 'Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink'--let her be the one You have appointed for Your servant Isaac. And by this I will know that You have shown kindness to my master."

Eliezer had to be acquainted with God. He knew how to pray and was in all ways wise and courteous toward Rebekah and later to her family.
Then Rebekah shows up with her pitcher on her shoulder. This young virgin was doing a chore as such and filled her pitcher without hesitation when the servant ran and asked for a drink, she gave him one. Then seeing him refreshed, she also spoke of giving drink to his camels as well.

Without even knowing it, Rebekah had answered every point in prayer made by the servant. While all this was going on, the servant remained quiet. I wonder at what thought process he had going all the time she was continually refilling and giving out water to the camels..........all ten of them!

Rebekah's character was of ambition and her beauty was one that ensnared men. We also know her to be courteous as she was toward Abraham's servant. Her willingness to go above and beyond that day proved to be a blessing to her. She gained the approval to become the wife of Isaac.

Genesis 24:29-60..............29 Now Rebekah had a brother whose name was Laban, and Laban ran out to the man by the well. 30 So it came to pass, when he saw the nose ring, and the bracelets on his sister's wrists, and when he heard the words of his sister Rebekah, saying, "Thus the man spoke to me," that he went to the man. And there he stood by the camels at the well. 31 And he said, "Come in, O blessed of the LORD! Why do you stand outside? For I have prepared the house, and a place for the camels." 

32 Then the man came to the house. And he unloaded the camels, and provided straw and feed for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him. 33 Food was set before him to eat, but he said, "I will not eat until I have told about my errand." And he said, "Speak on." 34 So he said, "I am Abraham's servant. 35 The LORD has blessed my master greatly, and he has become great; and He has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male and female servants, and camels and donkeys. 36 And Sarah my master's wife bore a son to my master when she was old; and to him he has given all that he has. 37 Now my master made me swear, saying, 'You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell; 38 but you shall go to my father's house and to my family, and take a wife for my son.' 39 "And I said to my master, 'Perhaps the woman will not follow me.' 40 "But he said to me, 'The LORD, before whom I walk, will send His angel with you and prosper your way; and you shall take a wife for my son from my family and from my father's house. 41 You will be clear from this oath when you arrive among my family; for if they will not give her to you, then you will be released from my oath.' 

42 "And this day I came to the well and said, 'O LORD God of my master Abraham, if You will now prosper the way in which I go, 43 behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass that when the virgin comes out to draw water, and I say to her, "Please give me a little water from your pitcher to drink," 44'and she says to me, "Drink, and I will draw for your camels also,"--let her be the woman whom the LORD has appointed for my master's son.' 

45 "But before I had finished speaking in my heart, there was Rebekah, coming out with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down to the well and drew water. And I said to her, 'Please let me drink.' 46 "And she made haste and let her pitcher down from her shoulder, and said, 'Drink, and I will give your camels a drink also.' So I drank, and she gave the camels a drink also. 47 Then I asked her, and said, 'Whose daughter are you?' And she said, 'The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him.' So I put the nose ring on her nose and the bracelets on her wrists. 48 And I bowed my head and worshiped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the way of truth to take the daughter of my master's brother for his son. 49 Now if you will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me. And if not, tell me, that I may turn to the right hand or to the left." 

50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, "The thing comes from the LORD; we cannot speak to you either bad or good. 51 Here is Rebekah before you; take her and go, and let her be your master's son's wife, as the LORD has spoken." 

52 And it came to pass, when Abraham's servant heard their words, that he worshiped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth. 53 Then the servant brought out jewelry of silver, jewelry of gold, and clothing, and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave precious things to her brother and to her mother. 54 And he and the men who were with him ate and drank and stayed all night. Then they arose in the morning, and he said, "Send me away to my master." 55 But her brother and her mother said, "Let the young woman stay with us a few days, at least ten; after that she may go." 56 And he said to them, "Do not hinder me, since the LORD has prospered my way; send me away so that I may go to my master." 57 So they said, "We will call the young woman and ask her personally." 58 Then they called Rebekah and said to her, "Will you go with this man?" And she said, "I will go." 59 So they sent away Rebekah their sister and her nurse, and Abraham's servant and his men. 60 And they blessed Rebekah and said to her: 

"Our sister, may you become 
The mother of thousands of ten thousands;
And may your descendants possess 
The gates of those who hate them." NKJV

Back to verse 45,, we see the servant again speak of Rebekah and her willingness to serve. He talks about her haste to the specific job.
Then in verse 52, we see that Eliezer worshiped the LORD. He was very demonstrative in his actions toward praying and giving much thanks. Rebekah left that very day to become the wife of Isaac.

What thing has God sent to the "one" who refreshes others? What is the new thing coming to the "one" who delights to do the will of God and help see others succeed?

When serving in ministry at the jail and the women;s shelter, I had a friend who also was a servant indeed. She was always available. Anything that needed to be done, she was always going above and beyond. True armor bearers are those who look to those who are leading. My armor bearer was always praying and worshiping God in giving thanks for all that He was doing in the ministry we were overseeing.
Are we refreshed when serving with others or we just leaving dry and parched?

Eliezer remained consistent with the object and that was to gain a wife for Isaac. He appeared to remain humble in telling the girls' family all that had been spoken in the agreement for marriage. Yes, this servant had a loyalty. He was a man of prayer and of worship. (read all of chapter 24 of Genesis)

Who might refresh you? Look for those who have a prayer life! Is their family one you know and well acquainted with? Are you comfortable around them? Are they good listeners and always submit to authority?
Like Eliezer, there should be no complaining here! There should be no self-centered people involved with us.
An armor-bearer will be one who is free from the anger thing and nothing of the carnal nature.
This is a critical time for people to come forward and serve. Serve where you are planted. If you do not have a church but do live within the word of God and prayer and the Lord is leading you to be OUTREACH, then go do it. Those who see the gifting in you will come alongside and "help".
You will see God move when you move!


Father, in Jesus' name, we pray and give thanks that we all speak the same thing YOU speak. As each of us are a prisoner for the Lord, living life worthy of the calling received, Lord may we be reminded daily to humble ourselves before YOU.
Whatever our calling, may each keep the unity of the Spirit through a bond of peace set by the Lord in one faith, in one baptism, and one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all things.
Grant to us Lord this day, Your leaders, Your representatives to express boldness in speaking Your word which You will confirm with signs following. We, Your people , Father, clothe ourselves as Your own picked representatives and Your chosen ones, who are purified and holy and well-beloved by You  are putting on the behavior that is merciful, and tenderhearted. In gentleness and patience we have the power to endure whatever comes, with good temper. We are fore bearing with each other and if having any grievance with another person,  are readily active to pardon each other. As You Lord, have freely forgiven us, so do we also forgive.
The Word spoken, alive and active has its home in our hearts.  It is Jesus Who sits on the throne of our hearts and that word dwells in us in all richness, as we teach, admonish, and train each other in all insight, intelligence and wisdom in spiritual songs, making melody to You, Father, with Your grace in our hearts.
We are contacting YOU the Author and the Finisher of our faith and put this Word into motion. This Word will not return void, but will accomplish where it is sent. We are totally leaning on YOU and learning of YOUR wisdom, drawing on Your strength and filled with Your quietness……that is bringing the Results we believe for those moving out in power of the Holy Spirit to be OUTREACH, to be PRAYER WARRIORS, to be those YOU have called for such a time as this, and work together in unity and harmony. May this bless YOU and bring beautiful music, a lovely sound to YOUR hearing Father. Amen and amen
