Now How Many Lightbulbs Do I Need?

Voice of Prayer
Ever walk into a room, turn on the lights, and the light bulb burns out in the corner lamp or overhead?
Or have you ever turned on the lights in say the living room or dining room, walk to the back of the house to do something and return to the living room to find the "room seems somehow darker than when you left it just a few minutes earlier"?
 I can work in the office, and spend time reading, turn off the light when leaving the room and return an hour later, by flipping the wall switch on, the room does not appear as brightly clothed in light as it once did an hour earlier. Looking up to the ceiling, I find a bulb has gone dark and with only one bulb remaining, filling the room with some light appears less effective in producing that light. With the one darkened bulb, only one is left to do the job of two. (yeah, the room still appears dark, right?)

Turning on lights in a room during the day is really no big deal and to find the lights burn out simultaneously still is not a big deal unless you live in the northwest, and a marine push is blocking out the sunlight in the early part of the day!
I do not change those light bulbs out. I leave it for my husband to do. The covers on those light bulbs seem contrary in trying to release them from their ceiling mount. Yes, I leave that job for the engineer! It is not a pretty sight when I wrestle one of those down from it's high ceiling mount!
But seriously as the believer in Jesus, we are to be " a light" and to continue to burn for Him!
John 1: 6 -13  NKJV  6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 This man came for a witness to bear witness of the Light, that all through Him might believe. 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 9 That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. 11 He came to His own and His own did not receive Him. 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name; 13 who were born, not of blood, not of the will of the flesh, not of the will of man, but of God.

Verses 6-8 speaks of John the Baptist.
John was bearing the light that Jesus was coming. And as the witness John the Baptist spoke of the true "LIGHT"! And the true Light is in Jesus!
I had written in recent days of KISSED HEAVEN and WENT TO HELL! In writing that, Judas was the one who kissed Jesus, had all the teachings that Jesus gave to the "disciples", still Judas went to hell. By betraying Jesus, he showed his true colors! He loved serving himself and getting his own gain but cost him "big" in his end. He might have been the accountant, but he took no thought on how much betraying Jesus would cost him!

I always think about people this time of year. Kids are out of school, summer has begun, and there is just so much activity outside to do. The "fun run" marathons, the three day vacation's to grandma's house (where you can eat anything you want), the splash in the pool is a great adventure especially for the young ones still learning to swim. But I also think about my husband and his hours busily preparing for the coming weather this winter. He is stocking up for sure,checking everything he might need in moment's notice of time, and writes down any items he should pick up at the hardware store.
Yesterday, he was out making room in the storage unit and giving it some new paint on those cabinets. He has been looking at prices on portable heaters and their cost, and what size room the heater will heat when sun shines somewhere else, the temperature readings have plunged to 20 degrees and Jack Frost came overnight to leave ice on the big pine tree.

Yes, I thought a lot about those who took to highways and by-ways, to take that special trip the last couple of days. Summer vacation has begun. But they will return, tired from their trip, a little less money in their pockets, and their focus turns to looking at school supplies, clothes and more money needed to supply for that all new adventures back to school;

Jesus brought light to a darkened world. Jesus brought His kingdom that the Father desired to bring to have His family with Him. But some will find other ventures, some time consuming, and will avoid possibly all teachings of the Lord. Each of us as the believer is to tell someone about Jesus. You could tell them by buying their next bags of groceries, you could shovel their driveway when the snow is too deep for them and their age limits their actions for doing pushing a snow shovel in 3 feet of snow.

It is not about "being God" to them, but showing them the love of God in you!
We had read on Judas and of his betrayal toward Jesus, the true LIGHT, we actually saw Judas had no light or life in himself.  His life was ruled by him for himself!

But we still have opportunity to spend time with the Lord, learn of His ways and prosper in that which He purposed for us to do. Ask yourself, "are you bringing light to the place you influence others"? "Do they see Jesus in you and experience God when you speak?" "Are you their only 'encourager'?"
We all will play a part in the last days mentioned in the Word of God!
What part will you play in these last days? For whatever time remains, we each have light if we have Jesus in our hearts. It will either be the bright light of day or the darkness of night, and I would rather choose to see. I would choose to see Jesus, experience His love for me and know my Father in heaven is looking down on me and God the Holy Spirit living within me gives us power to walk and do for God everyday..
As the believer, we were those released from that appointment of death. We have Jesus, and may His praise be on our lips. This is a new day, with the LIGHT of the LORD to direct our pathway. Will we not go with Him and find the really true adventure of a lifetime that will never end?
Summer will end and fall will begin....after that possible snow will come to cover highways and back roads and maybe your yard. Darkness will begin to come earlier, may your light shine for others to see. And may you know the way in which you are to walk!
For the ways of the LORD are right; the righteous walk in them, but transgressors stumble in them. (Hosea 14:9)

Kissed Heaven and Went to Hell

Voice of Prayer
Luke 22:47-48 Amplified Bible 47 And while He was still speaking, behold, there came a crowd, and the man called Judas, one of the Twelve [apostles], and was going before [leading] them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss Him, 48 But Jesus said to him, Judas! Would you betray and deliver up the Son of Man with a kiss?

Judas kissed Heaven and went to hell!
Judas spoke this in Matthew 26:14! Then one of the Twelve [apostles], who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15 And said, What are you willing to give me if I hand Him over to you? And they weighed out for and paid to him thirty pieces of silver [about twenty-one dollars and sixty cents]16 And from that moment he sought a fitting opportunity to betray Him.

Betrayal is a terrible thing! It can wreck people's lives.
As Judas betrayed Jesus, his lack of holiness of God in his life proved to be a fatal flaw. All that time under the teachings of Jesus, sent from heaven to proclaim the kingdom had come, and yet this man Judas took nothing away from any of those things of heaven that Jesus taught!

In knowing that being baptized by the Holy Spirit we are to communicate life. It looks like communication of one being the godly and the gracious. Truly we are to receive Jesus as Lord and look to Him to lead us by the Spirit of God.
But Judas partook of a different communion. He left the Lord's table to partake of the table of the enemy and the drink provided by devils.
Judas never searched his heart. He lusted after worldly things.
"Search me, O God and know my heart:try me and know my thoughts; and see if there is any wicked way in me and lead me in the way everlasting." (KJV) Psalm 139: 23-24
The Amplified Bible reads this way of Psalm 139:23-24
Search me [thoroughly] , O God and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! 24 And see if there is any wicked or hurtful way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Understanding that our God is a holy God, we are to reach for the higher life in Him. Like the child reaching for the strong arms of their Father to hold them tightly when something comes to frighten them, and to lead them into darkness. With arms reaching upward and toward the father or the mother, the child is reaching for the trusted arms! So too, we are to be continually reaching for our Father God who is the merciful and the trusted. Reaching for His faithfulness and truth, we keep a watch on our inner life that is strengthened in Him.

We are to abide in God and within His spirit and truth, we remain within Him and His guidance for us all the days of our lives. John 6:63-71 Amplified Bible 63 It is the Spirit Who gives life [He is the Life-giver]; the flesh conveys no benefit whatever [there is no profit in it].  The words (truths) that I have been speaking to you are spirit and life. 64 But [still] some of you fail to believe and trust and have faith. For Jesus knew from the first who did not believe and had no faith and who would betray Him and be false to Him.
65 And He said, This is why I told you that no one can come to Me unless it is granted him [unless he is enabled to do so] by the Father. 66 After this, many of His disciples drew back (returned to their old associations) and no longer accompanied Him. 67 Jesus said to the Twelve, Will you also go away? [And do you too desire to leave Me?] 68 Simon Peter answered, Lord to whom shall we go? You have the words ( the message) of eternal life. 69 And we have learned to believe and trust, and [more] we have come to know [surely] that You are the Holy One of God, the Christ, (the Anointed One, the Son of the living God. 70 Jesus answered them, Did I not choose you, the Twelve? And [yet] one of you is a devil ( of the evil one and a false accuser. 71 He was speaking of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for he was about to betray Him, [although] he was one of the Twelve.


Yes, as Jesus had a betrayer, we too can have one in our midst. In this setting, we see it in the beginnings of the church, the kingdom of God had come. And when Jesus died and was Resurrected, the Holy Spirit came to abide in us. God dwells in us and by His Spirit we are led as sons of God!



1 Corinthians 3:5-17  NKJV 5 Who then I Paul, and who is Apollos, but minister through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one? 6 I planted, Apollos water, but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

 8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor. 9 For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, you are God's building. 10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. 11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 each one's work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is. 14 If anyone's work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. 16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17 If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.


Judas' work was revealed. His reward was death by hanging himself for betraying the Son of God. He truly kissed heaven and went to hell. He was not in God's trusted field.  
In whatever Judas was trying to build, he was not laying it according to the BUILDER Himself. For his works were certainly clear to see. The other Apostles continued their work after the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. They went to the Upper Room and prayed and the Holy Spirit came to them bringing the very power of heaven for their work to be done.
They continued to seek the God of holiness, reside in the truth of His word and bring His peace. Proverbs 10:27-29 reminds us that the "reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord prolong's one's days, but the years of the wicked shall be made short. 28 The hope of the [uncompromisingly] righteous (the upright, in right standing with God) is gladness, but the expectation of the wicked (those who are out of harmony with God) comes to nothing. 29 The way of the Lord is strength and a stronghold to the upright, but it is destruction to the worker's of iniquity.

Judas betrayed Jesus, and as the worker of iniquity his life was cut short. He was out of harmony with God and came to nothing.
Our lives should be reflecting God's image, His holiness and a strength. With the Holy Spirit in our lives, we are to welcome heaven always and to keep clear of destruction. As each one's work will be revealed by fire, may that which we work be clear that is laid on the foundation of Jesus Christ and not on any other man or men, not on a money matter, nor of anyone else's opinions. Life with God depends on our knowing truth of God through the Son Jesus Christ. Amen.

Holiness Adorns His HOUSE

Voice of Prayer
His Spirit is Called the Spirit of holiness….Romans 1:3-6  Amp. Bible 3 [ The Gospels] regarding His Son, Who as to the flesh (His human nature) was descended from David, 4 And so [as to His divine nature] according to the Spirit of holiness was openly designated the Son of God in power [in a striking, triumphant and miraculous manner] by His resurrection from the dead, even Jesus Christ our Lord (the Messiah, the Anointed One). 5 It is through Him that we have received grace (God’s unmerited favor) and [our] apostleship to promote obedience to the faith and make disciples for His name’s sake among all the nations. 6 And this includes you, called of Jesus Christ and invited [as you are] to belong to Him.



Holiness becomes His house  … Psalm 93:5  Amp. Bible   5 Your testimonies are very sure; holiness [apparent in separation from sin, with simple trust and hearty obedience] is becoming to Your house, O Lord, forever.


Holiness associated with His power as producing obedience Psalm 110:3-6 Amp. Bible 3 Your people will offer themselves willingly in the day of Your power, in the beauty of holiness and in holy array out of the womb of the morning; to You [will spring forth] Your young men, who are as the dew. The Lord has sworn and will not revoke or change it; You are a priest forever, after the manner and order of Melchizedek. 5 The Lord at Your right hand will shatter kings in the day of His indignation.  6 He will execute judgment [in overwhelming punishment] upon the nations; He will fill the valleys with the dead bodies, He will crush the [chief] heads over lands many and far extended.



In the reading from the above scriptures of Romans 1:3-6, we see God's Son, Jesus who descended from the lineage of King David, having divine nature of God according to the Spirit of holiness come to earth. In seeing His was triumphant over death, we too, should look on the salvation of our souls a triumph over death, hell and the grave. 
As Jesus was always about His Father's business, we were made aware through the reading of the Gospels that the "kingdom of Heaven had come.' Living life by faith as Jesus did, we are to walk with that trust in our hearts!


In that operation of trust in HIM and not by our trust in ourselves, we find a new focus for life. AS written in Psalm 93:5, that in God's HOUSE and in relationship with Him, we are to be separated by sin. It is always seen in a simple trust and a hearty obedience to God and His word. For Jesus certainly held the character of the ONE sent from heaven, and He was obedient even to the death on the Cross.

What is the threshold of our obedience to Him? Is there a threshold that exists within our lives to keep us from walking totally and fully with Him?


Jesus taught the Beatitudes in Matthew 5 and the one He began with was this: Matthew 5 and verse 3, Blessed are the poor in spirit; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. The Amplified Bible reads this way: 3 Blessed ( happy, to be envied, and spiritually prosperous----with life-joy and satisfaction in God's favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions) are the poor in spirit ( the humble, who rate themselves insignificant), for theirs is the kingdom of heaven!

Within God and His holiness there exists that place where if "we really submit to Him and His word", have received His Son in our hearts, we know without doubt that it is He Who is God. He is Alpha and Omega, He is Creator of all things. Within that place of obedience we lack nothing. But this is gained through the spirit and is discerned spiritually! It is by speaking faith-filled words that Jesus gave us in the Gospels.

So back to Matthew 5:3, the poor means by the being spiritually poor. It does not mean the impoverished to lack of things, but the lack of God in our lives. Within God's HOUSE of salvation through His Son Jesus, we lack no good thing. But we discern it spiritually. 

When knowing God Who is spirit then we maintain that walk, that is of faith, and consequently by speaking faith filled words, we receive by faith that which is not seen today what we are believing for us as the individual, or maybe as a couple or family. But living by the spirit man is by continuing speaking of faith in what one believes in their heart, they receive their spoken words in the promises of God, manifested say for the unmarried woman the new husband, maybe for the young couple, seeing their first new house and for someone without a job, a new job with greater benefits and pay. But it comes by the spirit and by faith that is trusting God at His word and not just about us going out to get the thing we want "now"! ( and then say God did it! ) 


In God's HOUSE, it is His holiness we see and that very character is one of Whom holds all the wisdom, power and intelligence to create a world full of the most unusual and different creatures and land formations possible. In looking toward the sky, viewing the moon at night or the sun setting at dusk, one is aware of such beauty, as bright stars take over the blackened sky. For all that God has produced in His holiness, He expects and receives those who are obedient to His ways and thoughts for they certainly are higher than ours. 

Isaiah 55 7-9 Amplified Bible  7 Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to the Lord, and He will have love, pity and mercy for him, and to our God for He will multiply to Him His abundant pardon. 8 For MY thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways MY ways, says the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than than the earth, so are MY ways higher than your ways and MY thoughts than your thoughts.

As we have seen from the devil and his works, he tried to seduce Jesus in Luke 4 with all the worldly things, position and the such. And we know that this is a pride issue with the human being!
 That is why Jesus came in with the human nature, that we do not have to, nor to be ruled by the human nature with its pride for its appearance is one of always on guard to protect its territory and comes in the form of me, myself and I.


God truly knows best! He sent His best to show us the best way in which to walk. And it is in the HOLY Way we find the goodness of God, but it is a commitment daily to be committed to knowing and understanding God is always right and we must submit our thoughts and our decision making to HIM.  For in HIM we truly live, move through this life and have our very being that is a worshiper of God and His truths!

That is why God will not ever look at our outward appearance, but will certainly look on our hearts. And in that will we be in His kingdom forever and found with the believer's in Revelation 5 or will we be found with the lost in the other place? Yes, a lot to think on, but truly God is for us and desires us to be with Him with a simple trust and a hearty obedience. (Psalm 93:5)

For me, I would rather make the change today rather than to wait for that day when He speaks directly with me face to face, wouldn't you?

Where Our Spirit Fails, God Never Fails

Voice of Prayer
Psalm 143:7-10  Amplified Bible 7 Answer me speedily, O Lord, for my spirit fails; hide not Your face from me, lest I become like those who go down into the pit ( the grave). 8 Cause me to hear Your loving-kindness in the morning for on You do I lean and in You do I trust, Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk, for I lift my inner self to you. 9 Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies; I flee to You to hide me. 10 Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God; let Your good Spirit lead me into a level country and into the land of uprightness.

Answer me speedily!
Answer me yesterday Lord.....sound familiar. Gee God, I needed the answer yesterday. For many us, we need the answer yesterday to whatever may be occurring today. But if we had been on guard over our walk with Him, we would have known when to spend that extra time praying, and less talking or more time reading His word about something specific instead of looking for the answer from another mouth other than God's mouth.

We are to live by the Bread that comes from heaven. It is life -giving, power packed with all we need and it keeps us safe in God's presence.
That self-gratification thing though can get us into trouble. It takes us places that are terribly unsafe, reckless and where our spirit can fail within us.
David said this in Psalm 143 and reading from verses 1 and 2: Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications! In Your faithfulness answer me, and in Your righteousness. 2 And enter not into judgment with Your servant for in Your sight no man living is [in himself] righteous or justified.

David has prayed. When we get to verses 7-10, we see him praying for his deliverance and the quickening of the Holy Spirit in his life.
David prayed for the agreeable in God. Though really bad things were occurring, still David held on to his convictions that God is good. He was seeking the Spirit of God that would reveal the prudent, the reliable and yes the most wise way to walk on the right path.

There will always be situations in our lives: some mistakes made by us and some made by those who may touch our lives in some way. Still the prayer to God is made for the guidance when trouble is not only prevailing but should be implemented well before something or someone "comes to disturb the peace".

It is holding on to God's peace within His presence, we keep to the level country. Anything outside of God is then revealed that is where the dangers and false speaking lie.

But when we get to verses 11- 12 of Psalm 143 we find this: 11 Save my life, O Lord, for Your name's sake; in Your righteousness, bring my life out of trouble and free me from distress. 12 And in your mercy and loving-kindness, cut off my enemies and destroy all those who afflict my inner self, for I am Your servant.

What David is praying for here is to be helped in his daily devotions to God. Quicken by the Spirit of God is what David desired most. Though so many things were incensed against him, still his thoughts were on keeping his heart open to hearing and receiving God's truth.

No one is exempt from trouble of this world, but when we keep our focus we prevail. Where our spirit seems to fail, we must be strengthened in the word of God and know that He never fails.

I like Psalm 27:13-14 in the Amplified Bible. It states this: 13 [What would have become of me] had I not believed that I would see the Lord's goodness in the land of the living! 14 Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brace and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the Lord.

Seeing God's goodness is remaining in Him. It is seeing Him on a daily basis and not once a week for an hour. If we truly are the sons of God, we will glory in His might and strength. If we truly are His sons we will know His voice when He speaks. We will know when He has come to our defense when it is really needed and not when we just whine about something.
He knows us, He knows what we are about. He knows our failings and our triumphs, but they fail in comparison to His great love and glory. Our hearts are to be filled with all that He is from His word. Anything less is the grave!

Keep your peace, gain your strength and let your heart become the stout and the enduring. Make your stand with God and see His glory fill your life. Amen.

That QUALITY of Respect

Voice of Prayer
Respect cannot be fully come unless two parties of people commit to know the other person. And the quality is dependent on those two parties of people and how they communicate with one another!

What relationships are we willing to protect?
I have some relationships that are distant. They, the other parties lives in various states, but we all once were a part of a church body within a certain city in the northwest. Although these have moved away, or I did, yet somehow by the grace of God they continue. One is a young man musically inclined with a gift that is truly of God. Another, well she is petite and sassy and lives far north of here, but even today though I do not see her I am reminded of her determination to live for God that brings Him glory. And the other, well she just is what God knew I needed when I needed her at a low point in my life.
Today I still have opportunity to minister to them through prayer. Although so far away, yet there is no distance in the spiritual realm.

I hold a respect for these people! They love God and it shows by their actions to help family and people they do not know. They act accordingly to seeking prayer for an individual who is not their circle of friends, but they know that those are the ones God holds in His circle.

Was thinking on this today and wondered on the power of God and His abilities that can bring such unlikely people into my life, yet I am so in awe I can find no words to really write or speak on the subject of His great love to bring so many different peoples together, all with different walks, but be held by that thread of red: yes, by the blood of the Lamb!

In each of these cases, I was remembering how they each had touched my life and how they loved God by their always complete determined heart to get to the designated place and do what needed to be done to bring the Lord glory due His name.

I am captured today, yes by the grand plan of a great God and in awe He chose each of us from different paths, different age groups, and still see the beauty of the Lord in each person's focus on the horizon, to always be moving forward, to keep hearing His voice and watch out for their neighbor, come together, and be knitted in our hearts forever!

Each is not concerned for their welfare, only the welfare of others and that which pleases their Father. It comes from that relationship where respect comes into view!

Was looking up some of the meanings listed for respect, and I came across this one that captured my thinking!
It stated:respect that is genuine, healthy, and a quality that dignifies the carrier.

When we place our love and trust on and in God, we spend that quality time to really know Him. It is not the popularity of being known by many, but by being known by ONE and that is God! When we truly set our hearts to know Him, spend time and then we will see Him, not only in our prayer time, but in the music when a young musician sets down to create it and then release it to others. For the dear lady who lives far north, we are far apart but not in heart. That is how it is with God, though we do not see Him even now, yet we should know Him. 

1 Peter 1:3-8
Amplified Bible
3 Praised (honored, blessed), be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah)! By His boundless mercy we have been born again to an ever-living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. 4 [Born anew] into an inheritance which is beyond the reach of change and decay [imperishable], unsullied and unfading, reserved in heaven for you. 5 Who are being guarded (garrisoned) by God's power through [your] faith [till you fully inherit that final] salvation that is ready to be revealed [for you] in the last time.
6 [You should] be exceedingly glad on this account, though now for a little while you may be distressed by trials and suffer temptations. 7 So that [the genuineness] of your faith may be tested, [your faith] which is infinitely more precious than the perishable gold which is tested and purified by fine. [This proving of your faith is intended] to redound to [your] praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) is revealed.
8 Without having seen Him, you love Him; though you do not [even] see Him, you believed in Him and exult and thrill with inexpressible and glorious triumphant, heavenly joy.


1 John 4:19-21 
Amplified Bible
19 We love Him, because He first loved us. 20 If anyone says, I love God, and hates (detests, abominates ) his brother [in Christ], he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, Whom he has not seen. 21 And this command (charge, order, injunction) we have from Him; that he who loves God shall love his brother [believer] also.

Yes, that quality of respect is that we love other believers. But out of that trust is a RESPECT!


Our confidence is in God or should be. And in expressing that confidence you and I will see God's power at work in us and through us.   According to Ephesians 4:1-6, we are told that  (4:1) As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit- just as you were called to one hope when you were called- 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

People may come and go out of our lives, but those who remain, especially near to our hearts are those who we know as those who are the prisoner's of the Lord. They live a life worthy of the calling they have received. There is just "that something" about them that sets them apart from others. They are the "gentle, the loving, and the empowered" in their faith walk that God is going to see over them no matter the difficulties, the world's economy and that the Lord God will have His way for His purpose in and through them.



I will not list their names, but maybe if they read this, they will know of who I write. They are those who carry a quality of respect that pronounces the authority of God in their lives. They keep His word and declare it determined that God will do everything He said He would do in His word.
It commands on them respect that comes from God to them......and those who know God will know those who God looks upon with such love and pleasure.

What sets the tone for that quality: only the relationship with Him and with others.

This quality will guard the unity of the spirit ! Ephesians 4:1-6  Amplified Bible: Therefore , the prisoner of the Lord, appeal to and beg you to walk (lead a life) worthy of the [divine] calling to which you have been called [with behavior that is a credit to the summons to God's service. 

 2 Living as becomes you] with complete lowliness of mind (humility) and meekness (unselfishness, gentleness, mildness), with patience, bearing with one another and making allowances because you love one another. 3 Be eager and strive earnestly to guard and keep the harmony and oneness of [and produced by] the Spirit in the binding power of peace.. 4 There is one body and one Spirit---just as there is also one hope [that belongs] to the calling you received-----5 [There is ]one Lord, one faith, one baptism. 6 One God, and Father of [us] all, Who is above all [Sovereign over all],pervading all and [living] in [us] all.

Jesus carried this, so did Paul, Peter, and John. Might we consider of having that quality of relationship with God that shows others what love really looks like?

No Dripping Nonsense

Voice of Prayer
Proverbs 15:1-2   Message Bible    A gentle response defuses anger, but a sharp tongue kindles a temper-fire. Knowledge flows like spring water from the wise; fools are leaking faucets, dripping nonsense.

Have you ever had a faucet leaking just enough to keep you awake at night? No, it is not a "good" thing to hear all through the night when one is to rest.
I really like this that knowledge flows like spring water from the wise.
How wonderful to be the "wise" and wise in heart, to keep God before us and remember His ways and thoughts are higher than ours!

But the opposite here is: leaking faucet, dripping nonsense!
What might we see of this when we look into God's word? On one hand we could be the wise, acting responsible, being mature enough to receive authority as to those in leadership: say like the White House, the President and Vice-President! We must be mature enough to receive authority and act accordingly to that authority that is in place.

Was thinking on this while reading and remembering of the Vice President Pence to give a speech at such and such university the third weekend in May and remembered that some of the educated walked out. Sad, but true and in turn the whoever they were, will do doubt desire to have favor and have a voice but won't because of the seeds they have sown into rejecting authority that day in May 2017. Even if they get to a place of having a job that is a good one bringing some sort of honor to them, it will not last, because at some point the seeds sown in May and in rejecting authority, they too will be the rejected. Yikes!

Not sure what happened to this country we call home, but in the last forty years, it surely has changed. I remember a day when "kid's" had to obey their parents and those in leadership as to those serving within the community like: police, your school teachers and especially God!

There is one such rejection of authority in the book of Galatians. And the "foolish Galatians" were not receiving the authority that Paul had and was given him by Jesus Christ. In their not being wise, yes not having that really mature mindset, they moved into foolishness......and the nonsense became evident! They became "dripping nonsense"!

Rejecting any authority is a clear sign of "immaturity".  We find in Galatians 1:6 the group from Galatia were moving away from the grace of Christ, their teaching was in the form of a different Gospel.
Galatians 1:6  I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, 7 which is not another, but there are some who trouble you and to pervert the gospel of Christ.
Galatians 3:1,3  O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified? 3 Are you so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh?

Yes, there is no one made perfect by the flesh...........anything like foolishness is not good and will bring harm to the person acting in that regard to another person. And acted out, degree or no degree is still a sad situation for the individual.

Galatians 4:9 But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements to which  you desire again to be in bondage?

It was noted that the Gentile Galatians were observing those certain days, months, seasons, etc.
In doing so, their idol worship had nothing to do with observing God's holy days ( Galatians 4:10 You observes days and months and seasons and years.
Verse 11, it is Paul who declares: "I am afraid for you, lest I have labored for you in vain."
He had taught them the Gospel that Jesus commanded him to preach and teach.


Matthew 28: 19-20  NKJV  19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen."

What Jesus had given to the disciples who later became the apostles of which Paul was one, the Galatians had the early onset chose to disregard his authority. That was a really bad place to be. For a person to reject the authority like Paul, these Galatians were rejecting authority of the one who sent him and that was Jesus Christ!

It is Peter who reminds us in 2 Peter 3;11-8 (amplified Bible) 17 Let me warn you therefore, beloved that knowing things beforehand, you should be on your guard, lest you be carried away by the error of lawless and wicked [persons and] fall from your own [present] firm condition [your own steadfastness of mind]. 18 But grow in grace (undeserved favor, spiritual strength and recognition and knowledge and understanding of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (the Messiah)

Peter wanted to warn those believer's that to follow others who are in "error" of lawless and wicked persons.......was not a good thing to do!
In Peter' words, each person was to be consecrated, with holy behavior, devout with godly qualities. (2 Peter 3:11) (amplified bible)

In receiving any such rewards as the diploma or degree matters little when the one acquiring has no regard to loving their neighbor. It is their actions that spoke loudly and will in turn come back to them in a harvest of rejection as well.
In my thinking or thought process, as a person who hires those coming into the fields of work, would I desire to hire one who walked out on the authority like the vice-president or like those foolish Galatians we read about. For if they walked out that easily, they will probably not obey the authority of those who would be hiring them. Just a little for thought to those who have businesses and truly want to hire the wise in heart!

Might we keep in step with the Lord and heed His warnings so that we will walk the path of honor, to see His purpose for our lives be manifested that will be to His glory and not to man. It is in His light that we see light and the darkness cannot remain. May we remain in Him and remain to be wise within His sight walking in His wisdom all the days of our lives! Amen!

Country Strong

God devotion makes a country strong! (Voice of Prayer)
God-devotion makes a country strong;
God-avoidance leaves people weak.  Proverbs 14:34 Message Bible
Proverbs 14:34   Amp. Bible Uprightness and right standing with God ( moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation ) elevate a nation but sin is a reproach to any people.

Came across this in my reading last week and made note of it! It inspired this writing.
When I was in school, I worked hard very on some subjects I took. For instance I loved history, geography, science, language arts and English. But really did not care for the math part, or P.E. Music was a fun period time, for we had a teacher who really loved music and all sorts of instruments. She made it fun to learn: like when a score was written and for what purpose the particular person proceeded to create it in music and lyrics. She would teach about the creator of such work and in what time period they lived. Her name: well we called her Mrs. Rich and she was truly rich in the knowledge of that history that was vital to America! She loved her job of teaching and her love of music to teach others. I pray I teach like she did and that others would experience that love I have for the Lord in every word and that it would be in harmony with God as an orchestra to those who will read and hear!

In church for time, you learn that the devil came to steal, kill and destroy in that order. The Amplified Bible states it this way: John 10:10 The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows); 11 I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd risks and lays down His [own] life for the sheep. 12 But the hired servant ( who merely serves for wages) who is neither the shepherd or the owner of the sheep, when he sees the wolf coming, deserts the flock and runs away. And the wolf chases and snatches them and scatters [ the flock].

My mother was wise in that she took us to church, and she talked with our instructors. She also saw to it that she met with our school instructors and took that instruction from them for her counsel in checking our work at home. In that she continued to train us. For whatever issues she had,  they meant nothing because she wanted her “kids” educated in church and in school!
Good job, Mom!

Making Jesus our Good Shepherd will keep the enemy away. But it is our faith that must be spoken, you know that language of faith to declare He is our God.  It is not by declaring a world spectacular as our god. It is not missing out on those school days when an education is required today to get a job interview or even the job tomorrow!


Any avoidance of God weakens our life, the life of our children, and even our community and nation! When people choose to do only that which strikes their “fancy” as to entertaining the flesh, one looks for all the great buys to get out there and experience “that world”! From this get- away to that get-away....and what are people getting away from?

Now when my sister and I were in school, our mother saw to it that we read the word at night and she would pray with us, especially if our dad was on a long trip away from home. Now her thinking was that we needed “Sunday school” and to school we went on Sunday! The same worked for getting that education, for both my parents knew that getting an education between reading and writing your name and not learning to write or read anything.  I remember stories of some great grand-parents in our family who had little education and how they had the chore of finding someone available so they could have something read to them before they could sign their name on any formal document. That was enough to influence me: I was getting a diploma to know for certain all I needed  to be educated in reading and writing  and to understand before I signed anything of the formal nature!


But today, so many young people seem to disregard education as not needed. I had heard an alarming report of those who have missed more school this year than the 10 days allowed by the district. It seems they choose not "to attend'.  But these teens certainly have seemed to miss an opportunity to learn something that might benefit them twenty years from now! 


My question: how do they graduate if they have not fulfilled their amount of time for study of those subjects required? Are they expecting some kind of handout all their life? Is there something else available I had not heard of in this day and time, for we know jobs are important to have for bringing in a check to care not only for oneself but also for the family if one is married. It is those important things: like renting a place when first starting out, buying groceries, paying bills and hey, how about the upkeep of a new cell phone? Who will pay that bill?

All the jobs I had applied for in my lifetime required you have the High School diploma or you were not hired.  Even up to the beginning of the 21 century I saw and heard stories that if you had quit school you would not be hired until he or she had produced a document proving that he or she had acquired that “diploma” (like G.E.D.)

In reading on to the next verses in the Message Bible, I read this Proverbs 14:35 Diligent work gets a warm commendation; shiftless work earns an angry rebuke.

Now if you are working for you, you still must have God as your lead in anything. For the above mentions that the king, any man or woman who is in charge of the company or business is the one who will commend another for the work done in the company or business. But if one is the “slacker” and does not required the paycheck they will certainly find his place in being unemployed.
Slacking also means you do not tell your boss how to do his job your way! If you have a boss, he got his job by the amount of years he remained faithful to learn and understand the way he sought in either learning a trade or field or area of work and maintained in a good position as he or she ages. Slacking also means that you do not go and change what the company or business is already doing. If you are hired you are hired to do exactly what you are paid to do, no more and no less…but be faithful to it!

We take a local paper here in this area. It is always delivered to our mailing address in town. In some of the editorials, we read of the frustrations by some local business owners who hire the teens for either the summer season or hire those who want to work  after high school is finished and they need regular work. One such individual wrote of his hardware business and what he had sent out in the paper that he was hiring for someone to do clean-up and haul large items of lumber or such to a customer's vehicle. He had a few other things listed, but in short, he put that he got people who wanted to work part-time hours, and required really enlarged salaries, like the starting pay at 30 dollars to start? Now where has this “kid” been living?
Anyway, the short of it, either the work for the said persons was not what they wanted and not enough pay! I remember when my mother made $1.65 an hour to start her job. And her increase was very slow paced. Of course that was back in the twentieth century!

Making demands should not be our lifestyle! If we are in the Lord, we learn His wisdom and how to grow not only in knowing Him and His word, but also how to work with others, learn the needed knowledge we require for a certain job and move ahead with God’s hand of favor on our lives.
Staying close to the Lord will give us the protection to know when some “unexpected something” is coming your way! Unless prepared by the Lord, we miss it! Many an opportunity has been missed by many people, just look at the graveyard you pass maybe to church or to work or maybe the next time you buy groceries. I always note seeing one somewhere when we are driving out any direction of where we live. And I wonder how many really did something that God had placed in them to do.
The most I have seen for the youth is they died suddenly when driving too fast while texting!
Now I do hear of some world changers and history makers, but they are not from around here!

God and prayer work for our families, our neighbors and our nation!


My thought is what is the heartache one experiences when their young teen dies so suddenly when it most likely could have been prevented. Now some things can occur, but prayer is important to keeping God’s power going out to keep our families strong in Him. Prayer amounts to the power of God released into their young lives. Prayer for our youth and those teens surrounds them with God’s power of protection to see that they come home safely.
Considering God is powerful and able to save, I desire to stay with Him. I have made too many trips to the “city” and see so many still disobeying the rules to answer that “all important” text while driving. I don't need to watch for horror movies on TV, I can drive in the nearest city to observe that and without the benefit of a good bag of popcorn.

Education is so important, and so is knowing the Lord. In the world where so many are missing the great opportunity of receiving a good education to thrive,  they miss out not only by being absent from school but also miss those days they might really be needed……..and within that, they vacate that which could have been a really good life being submissive to learn and to achieve. In the end, they most likely miss their opportunity to a life in God. If school is not important, would knowing God and learning the truths in the Bible be important?

God devotion makes a country strong! May our desire together in unity be for His kingdom to come and be done on earth as it is in heaven. May God the Lord be praised! He sent Jesus and with the thankfulness of our heart’s we can see things change when we pray! 
It is our God Who has delivered us from the evil one who came to steal, kill and destroy us, but God sent us HIS Son that we would have life and have it in abundance. Are our lives significant of abundance or that which is diminished, the lacking with no life of God in it?


Thank YOU Father for delivering us from every evil work and thank YOU for the authority YOU have given us with the name of Jesus. We love YOU and praise YOU.
Oh, Lord may we praise YOU every day and within that find those new reasons to praise YOU!
Father, according to Proverbs 14:34   Amp. Bible we desire to have the uprightness and right standing with God ( moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation ) elevate a nation but choose to push  past sin as we understand….it is a reproach to any people.
We pray for those who know YOU and their families today that any who have floundered may be brought back into the fold of YOUR truth and love. May all children everywhere know the importance of a good education no matter their age and within that may they have regard for God first and His plan for their lives that which brings abundance for every area of their lives. We pray for those who know the Lord, may their children grow spiritually, physically, financially, socially and emotionally through God’s Word of truth!
Father, may Your peace rule this nation, this state, and this community. May the people of this nation become kingdom people and give praise to the one true God. It is all about serving the Lord with gladness in our hearts. To God be all the glory. Amen and Amen.

Flint into Fountain of Waters

Compliments of the Barrows family
Ever held a piece of flint in your hand? A friend gave us a sample many years ago. It would fill the hollow part of my hand. I have it somewhere in a box of things from other church members (you know things you like to hold onto to remember that friend or family from long ago)


In the tales told me long ago, anyone going out for a camping trip always had their flint rock with them in case of rain. Unless you smoked back then, and no kind of lighter was available, then yes, matches would be required at number one on my list of things to take on that outing.
Now that was decades ago, and today they have waterproof matches! In those ancient times, flint was used as a weapon like for the arrowhead used by the Indian tribes. We held it important for its use in igniting a spark to start a wood fire!



Was reading through Psalm 114 and I thought of that rock of flint.
I mean, someone like passing by a rocky region with much limestone and the such might come across some kind of flinty rock and unless you knew where to search for arrowheads you might miss seeing that rock already shaped into an arrowhead by person long dead.

My husband knew where to search for them and found some from time to time. He tried teaching our daughter but her heart did not seem to be into that kind of thing at the time of her youth!

Let's look into Psalm 114!
Psalm 114
When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language, 2 Judah became His sanctuary, And Israel became His dominion. 3 The sea saw it and fled; Jordan turned back. 4 The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs. 5 What ails you, O sea, that you fled?
6 O mountains, that you skipped like rams? O little hills, like lambs? 7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob, 8 Who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

In this writing, the focus is on the distinction of two kingdoms, yet still one group of people, not lost like what is given as the Anglo-saxon theory of the 10 tribes being lost.

No, God in His mercy keeps His own and keeps them safe.
In this passage: we see the six marvelous works of our great God! The Red Sea was divided (Exodus 14:3), the Jordan River was divided ( Joshua 3:13; 2 Kings 2:8,14) , mountains skipped like rams.
the hills jumped like rams (from v.4) , the rock poured rivers of water (seen in Exodus 17:6)
Exodus 17:6 Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at [Mount] Horeb; and you shall strike the rock, and water shall come out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.

............And the flint into a fountain of waters.
Many a traveler through that region describe what is to be the very rock that Moses struck. It is said to be a vast size of granite. The Dake's Bible states: it was a rock: 15 feet long, 10 feet wide and 12 feet high. It is described as a rock with holes and channels through it which could only be formed by the exertion of water running through it. It was stated also that the water that flowed at that time supplied water to 6,000,000 people or more and also for their stock as well!

When their need was met by being filled, the water cease to run!

God is not hindered! He is our sufficiency and what could make fire like flint became what the people needed. It was the needed water that came rushing forth, and watered the people and their stock as well. What we must do, whether man or woman, grown or a as a child, it is we each individually must seek the Lord for His plan for our lives.
We can certainly work to make a living. Each, male or female can do the work around the home or even in the work place, but it takes God to make us into what we are destined to be come in His hands. The fire rock became gushing torrents of water; not limited to any firmness of the rock.
The Israelites came to the place of hardness. They had a hardness of heart and even within seeing all this wonderful things God did to deliver them, they were found in the desert without the surplus of water for survival!
But God! But God in His mercy blessed them with water. These people did not need to make weapons for war or make a fire, they needed the much desired cool water to quench their thirst.

John 4:13-14  Amplified Bible 13 Jesus answered her, All who drink of this water will be thirsty again. 14 But whoever takes a drink of the water that I will give him shall never, no never, be thirsty any more. But the water that I will give him shall become a spring of water welling up (flowing, bubbling, [continually] within him unto (into, for) eternal life.


God is our help and He is our shield. But we must stay with Him, talk with Him, and be people who pray to keep the communication lines open!

May we as His people seek His beauty and His love giving thanks for His word of truth that sets us free. It is in Him that we are alive. He meets our thirst and gives us our daily bread (Matthew 6:11)
Friends can come and go throughout our lives, but God must always be present for us. Keep your watch on Him, and desire His peace and comfort. Know He brings you to that even place, His habitation (Psalm 33:14; Psalm 52:5) and will bring to you a strength that will carry you through all your tomorrows! And may your inner most being bubble forth with praise to our God and King! Amen.

Prayer for a Friend

Voice of Prayer
Job 42:7-10 And so it was, after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, that the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, " My wrath is aroused against you and your two friends, for you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has. 8 Now therefore take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, go to My servant Job, and offer yourselves a burnt offering; and My servant Job shall pray for you. For I will accept him, lest I deal with you according to your folly; because you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has." 9 So Eliphas the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zohpar the Naamathite went and did as the LORD commanded them; for the LORD had accepted Job. 10 And the LORD restored Job's losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.

Wow the power of prayer when we care enough to pray for our friends and our neighbors! Whether close by or far away, it is important to cover others with God's thoughts and not ours. And of course, those words are found within that Bible.
In the midst of any trial, we must focus not only on getting through it but to pray others will get through their obstacles as well. We should always know that satanic forces can mount when people are loose with their lips speaking of wicked intent or blaspheming others.
Enduring means we keep watch over our neighbor as we keep our walk with God. Although those trials and tribulations come, we have victory by our faith we hold in God.
Greater is He that is in us than he who is in the world. (1 John 4:4)

We must never think someone is sick because of of some stinking sin! The devil cares not for anyone but himself and will use anything to steal, kill and destroy (you) John 10:10
God has given us His word and love and within that we are to encourage the downcast, comfort any who may be afflicted and yes, we are to strengthen those who may be weak in their walk with God. As we hold fast to God and His Word, you be comforted in knowing He is for you and not against you.

Trials can come and go, but God is forever. As the Sustainer of all things, I believe us to be in "good hands!'

In the spirit of forgiveness, prayer allows us to reach across the street or across the country with God's love. In our action to prayer, we are seeking to seek Him who hears from heaven and answers.




Hebrews 2:14-15   NKJV  14  Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
Understand that we have an opponent. Satan is his name and he is real! And he is active since he is running out of time for his rule!
  John 8:44, in accusing the Jews of unbelief, it is Jesus Who puts Satan's nature in plain words:


You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

Seek out God and His way, truth and light! Seek God and know the way in which to walk for trials will occur, and other's exist on this planet so they can affect your walk. But we should remain to be the committed to God and His plan for our lives. In and through prayer we can find life that is real, that comes to pass and is manifested for others to see!

As our granddaughter would say: "take your peace, and seek". Take your peace and be seated before your CREATOR. BE seated, and become acquainted with Him. For our faith walk is to honor God. And the honest struggle should be of the spirit and not by the flesh creature.
Pray today for those who may not understand or know you. If anyone falsely accuses you, know the devil is on the scene. Pray for the man or woman and pray to forgive "no matter what" the circumstance may be.

Pray confidently for the Lord hears the prayer of the righteous. Trust Him to speak the answer you desire of Him. Acknowledge Him to clear the way and ultimately honor Him for He blesses the home of those who will be honest and a sincere heart.

Father, thank you for friends! Thank you for those we have not met yet but hope to soon! We pray for their safety and for their homes. We pray for their families and their jobs.
Thank YOU that we have hearts knitted together to see YOUR glory fill this land. And for whatever trials, tribulations or anything else the enemy might try, we seek to glory in YOU and YOUR word of truth. Come kingdom of God and be done in our lives today as it is in heaven. It is in Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
