<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I am seeing so many fruit in
the body of Christ. The fruit of jealousy. The fruit of unforgiveness. The
fruit of bitterness. The fruit of covertness. The body is feeding these trees
and they have grown. These unhealthy trees are overshadowing the trees of the
fruit of the spirit. This enables the enemy to play them emotionally. A lot of
crows end up in those branches and that racket drowns out the Father's voice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">So many people do not realize
that the fruit of the spirit is their garden to care for in life. A lot of
people just “hope” that their fruit magically appears. They do not actually
cultivate that fruit. The fruit is for anyone they come in contact with not for
their own consumption. It is for family, friends, the body of Christ and
strangers in the streets. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Once they eat of the fruit of your fruit
trees they have seed implanted that will grow their own trees. This is the same
as the secular “Random acts of kindness” movement. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

you are by who you “hang” out with it is to your detriment. Just like you share
your Godly fruit with others, you also partake of the fruit of your friends. If
they have bad fruit you end up with bad seed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I see so many Christians
in turmoil and they do not realize they have eaten bad fruit and they are
reproducing. They are emotional, tossed to and fro by their moods, any negative
mental suggestion. They become judgmental, critical, verbally abusive,
victimized…..and so on. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

this (just one mind you) is that the Christian friend, sheep, family etc. who
is the recipient of these outbursts begin to wonder what is wrong with them.
Why do they trigger these outbursts?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Here is an example: I
got an email once (ok, more than once but we will just talk about the one) that
was VILE. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At that point, I realized VILE
and EVIL are the same word….Selah. In this email I was told I was unloving,
cold, calculating, abusive, bold, arrogant, ungodly, a liar, a thief….you get
the drift. When I read it the first time I heard the Lord say, “This is not
you.” So, I read it logically like I do most things. I read the first
accusation and took it to the throne. “Do I do this? Do I need to repent from
anything in this?” I did this with every item. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

deceptive. He NEVER hits you straight on. He is not creative. God is creative.
He is not created in the image of God. You are. He does the same thing he did
in the garden. He brings in one tiny grain of truth—it may even be an old truth
that is no longer true! Something you have already been set free from.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Christians are tired. They are being tossed to and fro in so many areas. They
are eating of any tree that presents its fruit to them. The enemy is sabotaging
the acceptable, the normal, the common with his poison. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

acting in a way that would not please the savior. Someone who is hurting
others. Someone who is a Christian but is reacting in emotional turmoil it is
time to intercede. It is time to be faithful. It is time to be diligent. It is
time to be more observant. It is time to be aggressive in prayer—not gossip but
prayer—not anger but prayer. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

think I am weird. I still feel the same way I did when I was first saved. Over
the top! Totally in love. The first time I read the word it brought hope to my
soul and tears to my eyes. His word causes my voice to crack. It pours over my
heart and my soul with healing, with encouragement, with expectation, with
faith---I love the word of God. The word washes me from the cares of the world,
soothing hurts inflicted by people, it infuses me with power.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

glasses so a purse mirror needs to have a magnifier part. This one does. It
needs to have some kind of cover so it doesn’t get scratched. This one does. It
needs to be small enough to fit in a purse pocket. This one does.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

trying to look into their past – they can’t really see well. They can’t really
get the cover open. The past is too framed in emotion, ideals, longings of
dreams to really see clearly. The glimpses are usually the pain, the
justification—some hazy creation in our minds of what the truth of the past
really looks like. Very like my magnifying mirror—I sorta guess where I am
putting on my eyeliner from memory and feel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He is one of the nicest people I know. He is so attentive to my needs. If we are out for a drive and I mention I might need to stop soon he pulls into the next rest room. If we are going somewhere and he is ready first he never rushes me. Never indicates I need to hurry up. Never points out he is ready. Never asks me how long I am going to take. He just does whatever he needs on the computer, cleans the kitchen, watches a news show, etc. No judgment, no comments, no attitude—just loving and kind. I am in my 60's so this should not be a shock but it is.</span></span></div>

And, I want fountain—not a can or bottle unless are in a desperate situation! So, although he teases me, he is the first to ask if I need another soda. He will actually point out that mine is low and ask if I need a new one.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If I am hurt, he is the first to notice (no matter how I hide it) and he immediately tries to fix it. It might be a burn, a Band-Aid on a cut finger or an email to a hurting heart.</span></span></div>

He is intelligent, logical, observant, kind and caring. You know how people scroll down Facebook news feeds and hit "like" to everything that doesn't just irritate them? He isn't like that but he is tolerant, thoughtful, observant and accepting of everyone at face value. He always makes me feel “special”. Isn't that what everyone wants?</span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There is never a doubt that he loves me but it is more than that: He is Godly. Not the “hot-air-judgmental-all-talk-religious” form of godliness that has no power so many people espouse but the ”shoe-leather-esteem-your-brother-better-than-yourself” Godliness that Jesus showed us how to walk out on earth.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What is the difference? “Liking” specific individual areas of a person’s life or someone’s actions means you are comparing that area to another and someone is found lacking. Why do that? Just “Esteem your brother better than yourself”. Just love people. Yes, there should be wisdom involved but really don’t we use that as an excuse to be guarded and make people “prove” themselves? Eventually the fruit of their life will be seen and in the meantime who knows what blessings will be available for both parties.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jesus did not call the disciples and then keep them at arm’s length until they “proved” themselves. He was transparent with them. What if you get hurt? What if someone lets you down? Who cares?</span></span></div>

ago I have seen hundreds of people from all walks of life come to the Lord
after hearing what God did in my life. I have learned a lot about how to hear
the Lord and I have grown in understanding of who God is and how He operates.
Another thing I have learned over time is that I really know very little. That
is one of the reasons I love meeting new people, hearing what they have to say,
hearing their perspective on God and learning what God has done in their lives.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

one Sunday. She was going to celebrate her one year anniversary being saved on
Monday and she was excited about it. She was thrilled with what God is doing in
her life. She was enthused about how she wakes up every morning thrilled with
what God has done for her and excited about what God will bring this day and
all the days of her life to come. She is constantly in awe of the deliverance
He is doing in her life. She, like all of us, came out of a lot of pain, guilt
and suffering in her life and is now filled with the love, peace, freedom and
joy that can only come from a personal relationship with Christ.</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

God testified that just because she has accepted Christ does not mean that she
will never sin again or ever have another problem in her life. It does not mean
she will never hurt people, react selfishly, say hurtful things, lie, get
proud, judge people, be unfair, get too busy to notice the hurt hearts in the
people she encounters in her daily life, step on a child’s feelings when they
only wanted to tell you something exciting, tell something she should not have
because the person she was talking about is not present, believe a lie about
someone without asking them what the truth is or dismiss people by how they
look. But she knew that because she is saved her all sins are forgiven: past,
present and future.</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

again of how very much the Lord loves us. I get accused of being too
enthusiastic about God sometimes—but you should meet her. She shines. I hope I
still shine like she does. I am so detail oriented and so intense I wonder
sometimes. Do people still see that love I have for Christ? Do I still radiate
the joy of my salvation? Do I still exude the fragrance of life to a dying
world? I DO! I know because God says I do! </span><span style="background: white; color: #666666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />

help me keep Christ in my heart and mind constantly I burn a lot of
candles--usually in several rooms at once. I like to walk into a room and smell
something enticing—that way, even if I am just going in to clean the room or
make a bed my heart is happy because the fragrance always reminds me of Christ.
Do I notice if it is missing? Absolutely and I immediately get another candle
to burn. To experience the fragrance there has to be the perfume and a fire.
Jesus is the fragrance—He gave His life so we have life. The Holy Spirit is the
fire. That presence that goes before us opening doors with a power that man
cannot close. Light some candles today and every day to constantly remind you
of God’s love.</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The tide was in—the waves crashing on the shore and the
undercurrent so strong I could see the sand churning with every wave for 12-15
feet out from shore. There were huge (for Guam) waves crashing over the reef. I
have walked to the reef and never gotten knee-deep in water. Not today—if I
could even go into the water. There are white caps and rough seas as far as I
can see to the horizon. The wind is blowing hard. When the sun hides behind a
cloud I get good bumps! A first on Guam!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

knock you to your knees. They can cause severe physical problems and are
nothing to mess with. These were small the size of a nickel or dime. They are
clear and just look like a small bubble on the shore. You have to wear shoes.
Even if they are dead they HURT and are dangerous. They float on the water,
they end up on the sand, you have to wear flip-flops to be safe. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

my favorite place on the island. Did it keep me from returning? Of course not! <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">All of this reminds me of 2014. For so many people it was
rough seas. There were undercurrents that knocked them off their feet. There
were rip currents that tumbled them under water, skinning them in the sand,
taking away their breath. There were high waves, life threatening experiences.
There were danger signs and warning signs all over. There was coldness in so many
areas. High winds throwing sand in their eyes so they could not see what God
was doing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While I am writing all of this the soldiers came, 3 of them
with a park ranger. One acted like he had never been to the beach before. He
walked to the water in his boots and then walked back to the group. They looked
up and down the beach. They talked and the ranger gestured a lot. They were
making plans. There was a lot of pointing and talking. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The tourists are ignoring the signs. They are picnicking,
laying in the sun, talking, laughing and just enjoying the “beach” experience. They
are in the water swimming and snorkeling no matter all the signs saying NO
SWIMMING and HIGH SURF HAZARD--DANGER signs. They are taking hikes past the DO
NOT ENTER sign. They are gathering shells and coral off this National Preserve
beach with signs everywhere that it is illegal to do so. I watched a 2 year old
get sucked under by the under current and get rescued by his father. Adults
falling off the ledge where the rip current is churning. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In Acts Jesus went to
the right hand of the Father. He had laid down his deity. Was he like Superman
putting his deity on and off? No, he was God as man—doing what he saw the
father do. Are you walking in a fog? Being ½ Godly, as least you hope you
are—and the rest of your time is spent being busy about your life?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When Christ rose He was in pure form. No one could touch him—he
had not been to the father to settle what had happened yet. He was now moving
about in spiritual form. The Holy Spirit had always been hovering on
earth—coming down in Shekinah Glory mantle on prophets. Jesus ascended and is
seated by the Father, sealed for all eternity, the finalization of freedom. He
poured out the Holy Spirit as a love offering—spiritual oxygen for us. The
entire trinity had always been here.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

than the former.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">When I was
in Oklahoma I lived in the dust bowl. The wind blew all the time. One day in
the late fall it was so cold that the wind chill factor was way below zero.
Everything was frozen. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I was doing
homework in the dining room and looking out the window while I processed
Shakespeare. My entire clothesline was lined up with sparrows. It was so cold I
really felt sorry for them. I kept looking up and wondering what I could do for
them. They could not move much because the wind was so strong and again, it was
really cold.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I decided I
needed to go get them some birdseed so they would have something to eat at
least. This was back when I had nothing. I was going to school and working part
time. I looked around for some change and found a little over a dollar so I
headed to the closest store to buy some bird seed. I got a dollar’s worth and
came home to feed the birds. They are ground feeders so I put out a small dish
of water—fairly warm and scattered part of the seed on the ground.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I was
freezing. My eyes were watering. It was freezing on my face. I ran in the house
concerned about the poor birds. I sat in the house and read Shakespeare while I
watched the birds. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">By now my
kids were involved. They were sitting at the dining table watching the birds
shiver on the line. The birds were huddled against each other in a huge long line. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Then it
happened, one fell. Jenny squealed, “Mom, one fell off.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“No, he’s
just going to see about the food.” Was my parental reply.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">But I looked
and he was just lying on the ground not moving. Another one fell and another. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I did not
know why this affected me so much but I could not stand it that these birds
were freezing and falling off the line. I was praying, "What can I do God?" I
could not leave them laying to rot (even though they could not decompose in
this cold weather, they were frozen). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I found a
shoe box, lined it with paper towels and headed outside. The little birds did
not move when I went to the clothes line. Not the ones on the line. Not the
ones on the ground. The water was frozen. The bird seed was blowing all over. I
could hardly stand up. It hurt to breathe.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I did not
even have a coat on and I was freezing. I started picking up the birds. I put
about a dozen in the box. The kids and I would bury them when the ground
thawed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">My heart was
breaking for these poor birds, my tears are freezing on my eyes, my lungs
burning with each breath, my fingers so cold they are fumbling and my heart
crying out to God for these dumb birds. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I heard the
Lord speak. It was not the bold audible voice, but it was a whisper in the
wind.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“I saw the

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I knew this
scripture. Maybe I only know about God and I do not really KNOW His nature.
Before I can even process this thought I hear more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“Sally, I
see your heart for these birds. If you can feel this about the birds how much
more do you think I feel this about YOU? I know everything about you. I have
every hair on your head numbered. That doesn’t mean I know how many you have,
it mean more than that. When one falls I know how many hairs have fallen and what
number hair it is. Why do you think so little of me that you do not think I know
everything about you and love you? I love YOU. I want to do good things for
you, just like you want to help these birds. I love your tender heart Sally. Let
me care for you. Care for me.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">It was a

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The
intensity of His presence diminished and I sobbed. He loved ME. The revelation
of this was overpowering. I had known He loved mankind and therefore me; BUT He
loved ME personally. He knew EVERYTHING about me and He still loved me. I never
had to worry about anything again. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Time became
reality again, I was freezing. I snatched up all the fallen birds and ran back
to the house. My kids were still watching out the sliding door and opened it as
I approached. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The kids
looked at all the dead birds. Jen cried. Then we put the lid on it, talked
about where to bury them later and they went back to playing a game at the
table while I went back to Shakespeare.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">In the midst
of memorizing prose I heard some weird noise in the kitchen. I ignored it but
it kept on and eventually irritated me so I go up to go see what it was. The
box of dead birds was making a noise. I could not figure out what it was…I took
off the lid. (Obviously I did not think this through first.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">When I
lifted off the lid to see what the noise was a dozen sparrows flew to
freedom—at least as much freedom as they could get within my house.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Total chaos
ensued. I was yelling for the kids to get the bedroom doors closed. I was
running around trying to catch them. I realized this was totally futile. I did
not want any of them to get hurt. Then they started flying into the picture
window. I hollered for Jason to open the front door and I opened the sliding
door—next I got a dish towel and we started “shooing” the birds outside. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The 3 of us
were laughing so hard it was hilarious. We got all the birds out uninjured.
Having both doors open for 15 minutes in a freezing windstorm meant the house
was REALLY cold. We flopped in the living room floor and laughed over and over.
We talked about actually thinking before we did things—like bringing birds into
the house and then taking the lid off the box. Ok, I was the one who caused it
all but there was no reason they shouldn’t learn what mess a person can make of
things if they do not think things through. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I got some
rubber gloves and started cleaning up all the evidence of the birds. The kids
started cleaning up feathers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I felt time
stop again. I knew He was right there. I listened and heard him say, “You
thought the birds were dead. So many times you see something that looks dead and you believe
what you see. Let me show you the unseen. Even if something appears dead, cover
it in intercession, allow it to warm up, bring it into the realm of your love
in prayer, and watch me bring it to life. I will bring you things that appear
tough. Your tender heart and strong love combined with intercession will change
lives. Let me care for you. Care for me.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Many people only claim to
hear God when they have to do something “hard” and then they talk about it to
42 (this is a floating number) people to get sympathy with them at how “hard”
it is to serve God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Others seem to serve
a “bossy” God. He only talks to them to bark out some order. Others only hear a
daddy’s voice talking to a small child with comfort guiding them in their
everyday life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Which is you?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">If you are walking in
shame it is time to close that door and wash that stuff off yourself with the
water of the word.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">If it is fear holding you
back then it is time to close that door and get yourself full of the Holy
Spirit—fear will not reside with Him! Not only that but the Holy Spirit sends 3
friends to make sure you are not bullied with fear any more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(Power, Love and a Sound Mind in case you were
wondering)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">If the Lord shares
something with you for or about someone and you do not share it without
consulting 12 (another arbitrary number) people to get confirmation and make
sure you are right, then you need to repent from pride, turn back to God and
allow Him to remove the need to make everything about you. We have a hurting
world to minister to. If the Lord trusted you enough to talk to you then only
pride and disobedience is between you and the other person’s answer. You can
make it LOOK like humility but the root is still pride. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">If you only hear God when
it is something hard then it is time to close that door of old hurts. Time to
repent for not allowing Him into your life. If you only hear him as a daddy
with a small child then it is time to close that door of immaturity and get
into the word making yourself grow up. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">He wants to be so many
things to the body of Christ. We have to close the door of miniature boxes
where we have confined him and be the child, the friend, the lover, the soldier,
the ambassador, the prayer warrior, the helping hand, the listening ear, the
one who meets the needs, <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">If you had a best friend who
lived around the world and no phone, no internet, nothing…how would you
communicate? Don’t be that kind of friend to God. He has given you every means
of communication—He is waiting for you!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">What does this have to do
with intercession?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Time for the intercessors
to close the door to the past and rush through the doors of the marvelous future
provided. We have to b healed, delivered, strengthened, empowered so we can intercede
and throw out those life lines to bring the body of Christ into these end times…..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Time to pray. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">That doesn't mean I don't get thirsty. No matter how much it rains, I still get
up and drink a liter of water before my coffee. I still drink another liter or
2 each day. (plus my diet coke of course).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I drink the water but it
doesn’t quench my thirst like diet coke does….and on top of that I am a diet
coke connoisseur: I prefer a fountain soda with a good mix and a non-drip cup. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Let's look at this
spiritually. There are a lot of wells to drink at spiritually, even in the
church. But Jesus is the Living Water. He is the only thing that can satisfy
our thirst. Once you drink at the well of Jesus you will never be thirsty
again. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I am even pickier about my
relationship with Christ than I am about my diet coke. I do not want a watered
down gospel. I prefer a solid word based church. I want pastors that have not
exalted themselves about the body and above the word of God. I want to be able
to drink clear, clean water.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">John 7:38 Whoever believes
in Me as the scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within
him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Water is the most
important resource on earth. (OK, maybe air is just as important but that is
another blog) Without water all things would perish <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">With Jesus we have living
water to continually refresh and empower us daily. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">What does this have to do with intercession????<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">People are dying of thirst
all around us…in the natural there are companies that go all over the world
providing fresh, clean water for people who are drinking disease laden, bug
infested water. In the spiritual we need to go (either in prayer or in person)
around the world and provide fresh, clean water for people who are drinking
demonic, diseased spiritual water. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

to do to get ready for the explosion. Selection of the specific works. Finding
a safe venue. Announcing the event. Advertising. Doing a practice run. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">The same thing is happening in the spirit to get us ready for the
explosion of the spirit that is coming. The venue is being prepared and has
been for 2000 years. The venue is being prepared as Israel continues to protect
their land. The announcements are coming in the spirit regularly. Advertising
is being done on the TV, radio, books and in social media as people point the
signs of the times. Jesus was the practice run. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Spectators also get ready for the fireworks display but in a
totally different way. They talk about the event. They tell their friends and
family. They invite people to come with them. They prepare—picnic, blankets to
sit on, etc. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

So many times we pray and we have an expectation. We send up
a few words, we talk to the Lord about our burning desire, our passion for this
prayer request, we pray fervently, we wait and 15 minutes later (yes I am being
facetious but only partially) or 3 weeks or 3 months, the fervor dies out.
Sometimes we wonder what happened. We make excuses. We eventually forget about
it. So much so that often we forget we prayed. (and doesn't that imply that we also forget to be grateful?)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
How many seeds of prayer do you have planted that have not
happened---YET? Just like any seed in the dirt you can leave it to the birds of
the air, the ground animals the elements or you can nurture it, water it, care for it and reap a harvest from it.<o:p></o:p></div>

I hear a lot of Christians say, when they don't get a quick answer to their prayers, that
God said, "NO". Did he? Where is the scripture for that? I do know that if you do
not receive about what you pray about then you may be praying “amiss”. BUT, even when
Israel prayed against God’s direct wishes and they cried out for a king, God
asked them to reconsider but He still granted their prayers. Isn't that what
free will is about? We are not marionettes on a string. Christianity is
having a relationship with Christ. <o:p></o:p></div>

When I was a fairly new Christian I wanted a piano. I asked
God for one. That was it, simple. I wanted my kids to learn to read music. I
wanted to be able to play it etc. No big warfare, just a simple, “God please
bring me a piano.”<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Two years later a friend was moving and she asked me if I
wanted a piano. She brought it over. It was an antique, upright, oak, cast iron
insides (read that HEAVY) piano. I started saving money to get it tuned up. The
problem was that a week later I got the approval to start my Masters in Durant.
I started packing everything I owned, getting rid of this and that. I realized
God loved me and he would always hear and answer my prayers but did I really
want to play the piano? Did I really want a piano to be responsible for? Did I
really want to spend all that money for tuning and lessons? (Did I even have
all that money?) Not really. Did I even have enough room in the truck? No. So I
had to find someone who wanted a piano.</div>

She loved them. They were limited editions and expensive for this single mom. I
got her one, someone else bought her the one of the puppies in the cart. I
bought her another. Someone got her the doll and so on. She never had many. They
were the only valuable “thing” she ever had. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
We got an antique shelf to put them on. It fit in a corner.
She loved it. Then one night when we had a small earthquake. It fell and they
all broke. She was upset but very Jen-like. I was upset, I cried out to God. I
could not replace these. This was not right and so on. God, I need to replace
these.<o:p></o:p></div>

I prayed with
fervor. I prayed through tears of loss. Through hurt for her. Sounds kinda goofy but these
represented the sacrifice one will make for their child. They represented a lot
of emotionally-tied things. She never got another one. Every time I am in a store
and see them I think about how much she loved them.<o:p></o:p></div>

or so, find a place to eat, get on the internet (if I can and in some airports
I cannot), play catch up and use that to “people-watch”. I love to watch
people. I use those observations to pray for the different ones God shows me.
Just a favorite pastime of mine. And again, I don’t know if I love to sit and
people watch because I like to pray or if my heart is moved to pray because of
what I see when I people watch. Unimportant I suppose but just some of the
things that make me wonder. This day I saw so many odd things in such a short
time I was a little overwhelmed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I headed to the sushi place but when I got in line I felt
the Lord tell me to go to McDonald’s. Now McDonalds is not my favorite by a
long shot and I AM in Japan so sushi sounded perfect to me but I got out of
line and headed to </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mickey D’s. Filet of fish is always my order so I stood in
line watching how differently things are done here. Very polite. No crowding.
VERY fast. Everything a little different. There was a Japanese family sitting
next to me (same table even—I AM in Japan).</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The husband and the 2 boys were
about done eating and the mom had just started. The dad was an angry man but
that is not really unusual either. The oldest son said something to the dad and
the dad threw the phone at him, chewed him out—the kid had that slow heat that
creeps up someone’s neck when they are embarrassed and it is turning to rage. I
was praying for the whole family. The mom tried to defuse, the dad was having
none of it, threw a fit and stomped off. The boys cleaned up the dad’s mess and
followed the mom--who was still trying to eat—chase after the dad.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My heart broke for that boy. It took everything I had not to
say something, to intervene and yet I have been in an abusive relationship. It
would not have helped. At one time anger—that red rage that takes over your
actions controlled my life. It would not have helped. So I did the one thing I
knew would benefit all of them. I prayed. I prayed for the boy NOT to grow up
abusive like his dad. I prayed for the family to get saved. I prayed for the
dad to come to his senses. I prayed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As soon as they left I started to eat and realized there
were 2 groups of Americans a few tables away. They were all from different
areas of the south. One group was 6 young 20’s, the other was a family of 5.
The husband of the family talked in total animation to the youngsters. They
discussed so much: travels, food, airports, activities, prices of things and so
on…..As I listened I realized they were doing what so many Americans do when
they travel. They were putting down thing after thing in Japan. I was
embarrassed. Nothing was good enough. They were loud and mocking about the
country they were visiting. Apparently everything is better in the US which
makes me wonder why they came to Japan for a vacation. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I knew the Lord had me here for a reason—after all I gave up
sushi for this. So I listened. One of the 6 came back from getting a soda refill
and one of the girls in the group asked him if they charged him full price for
it (of course they did—apparently they haven’t traveled much). His comment was
“I have got to get out of this dump and get too a real country.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

heard the Lord talk to me about the world He created. People complain about
everything. Christians complain. Have you noticed the beauty surrounding you?
Have you seen the delicate beauty of the flowers blooming in the spring? The intricacy
of the seasons? The rushing mountain streams? The expanse of sky when you top a
hill? The delicacy of the white clouds hanging in the blue sky? How about that
gentle feeling of the rain when he falls? The smell of fresh cut grass?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Do you ever wonder how you learned something? For instance, how did you learn to walk? Whether you remember or not, someone taught you. Did you have a favorite teacher? Ever have an “aha” moment? Remember who was teaching you when that happened?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have a love of books and reading. I learned that from my mom. I have no memory of learning that love from her. I did though. I know she read to me a lot because I do remember trying to imitate her. She taught me by example. She read (and still does) voraciously!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We learn a lot subconsciously. Movies, TV, magazines—we learn by what is presented to us, what is modeled. When I was a child it was “cool” to smoke. I knew it was “cool” because everyone who was “cool” smoked. Actors, singers, people on TV, in movies, at concerts, people I admired. Did someone I know teach me? No, but I learned. I also learned to quit—a slightly different process.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">You know the kind, nothing you do is right. They may be
blatant about it, rude even. But probably
bold, letting you know you do not measure up to their standards. Or they may be
more subtle, knit picking you to death, small, seemingly unimportant things
that apparently grind on them and they need you to change. Talk this way. Act
this way. If you say anything you are “moody, emotional”. I have had both used
on me. How about you? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Who does He say you are? Nothing else really matters. Those little “irritants”
to others may be things that need refining but are not a reflection on your
value as a Christian. Paul addresses these problems within the church and therefore
offering a guideline for your life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
church has tried to do it the other way for centuries. The church tries to
appeal to the “sensibilities” and “traditions” of the local area. Did Jesus do that or did He show the purity of truth? Culture
becomes more important than Christ. Don’t market the gospel for profit, just
present the truth and watch it stand on its own. Don’t shove truth down
people’s throats. Live the love of
Christ and let that love draw men. Present the gospel, pray, plant seed, water
or cultivate and let the people decide. Let the love of Christ draw them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have had a lot of prayer requests lately asking what to do
about people who make everything about them. If you are praying for others they
have it worse. If you are interceding for something they want the prayers for themselves.
These people are a lot of work and they make other people uncomfortable. We
don't wrestle against flesh and blood and as cliché as it sounds, some people
cannot get the attention they think they need unless it is negatively. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of the devil's main tricks is to cause you to miss the
goodness of God. He did this in the garden with Eve. Satan wants you to
question the value of all the things you think you do not have. In Eve's case
she was supposed to leave one tree alone. How many did she have? Did she focus
on those? No, she focused on the one she could not have. That is how she was
deceived. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In a lot of families the child who causes the most problems
gets all the attention, all the gifts, everything good. The good kids get
ignored. Most responsibility is put on them. Most shortcomings are blamed on
them. The equality of parental treatment goes out the door. When watching this
situation once I asked the parent about it and they said that the "good
kid" did not need anything the other one did. The good kid could handle
anything the other one could not. I was speechless. Have we regressed to a society
that rewards bad behavior? Think Sodom and Gomorrah. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One method the enemy uses is to get you to complain about
what you don't have so you will lose sight of what God has given you. God tells
you to do the opposite:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Do
not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and
petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And
the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your
hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Finally,
brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right,
whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent
or praiseworthy—think about such things.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We need to start praising him and
thanking Him for all He has provided. He wants us to begin by giving thanks for
all he has done and His goodness—not only in our own lives but in the world
around us. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was sitting in church one morning praying for people. It
was a time of worship and meditation. People were praying and just worshipping
in His presence. As I prayed for one lady the Lord began to speak some specific
things about her. I could hear so many negative things running through her
mind. Shortcomings presented. Sins reviewed. Painful failures. Imagined
preconceptions.</span></div>

created in the image of God and he has been trying to diminish that image since
the fall. When he came to Eve he did not attack the cows, the birds, the

pastor never stands up at the front of the church and says, “Thank you for
scrubbing the toilet.” Well, never is a pretty strong term because our pastor
has….but you get the point. IF no one cleaned the bathroom or put out toilet
paper it would be a pretty miserable experience. It IS important.Everything you do unto the Lord is important.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

were really full. Some were in the middle. I heard Him tell me to notice that
all the glasses were full because none of us exist in a vacuum. The glass may
have visible water that we see but it also contains air which we do not see. We
need both to exist. Jesus is called the word. He is that living water in our
lives. When we are weary, He is the refreshing. When we are in a desert, He is
the life force that sustains us. He is the water that washes us clean. That
life-giving water of refreshing and renewal that we give away with every word,
action and prayer. The Holy Spirit is that breath of air that brings power and
the ability to breathe in tough times. Ever climb a mountain? They are that
perfect combination of anointed fullness.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the late 70's I met a lady who was in a wheel chair. I think
she had been in an accident. She was believing for healing. I have the
personality of a prophet--black and white. This, like most prophets in the
Bible, used to cause me to get down on myself and life in general. Yet, here
was this lady in a wheel chair who needed help for everything and she had such
joy. She laughed at life. She was a delight to be around and she changed my
outlook on life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I began to intercede for her....regularly. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Fast forward 35 years to the year 2011. I was at the
Farmer's Market one Sat. morning praying for the business and the people and
she came on my heart so I was praying for her and there she went in her wheel
chair! I took off after her. When I caught up with her I could see that
physically she had declined over the years. I introduced myself. I could see
her eyes and the lines in her face that she had grown bitter. The joy was not
bubbling any more. I told her I had been praying for her all this time and
thanked her for her bubbly joy that had changed my life. It gave me a new
outlook. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She just stared at me and said, "OK" then turned
her wheelchair and went the other way. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was somewhat deflated. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I started to walk away but I watched her praying. She
stopped her chair and turned. She was weeping. God was plowing through those
bitter roots and going to heal her heart. She waved as best she could. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I cried. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is amazing to me how much God loves us. He
doesn't give up on us. Our attitude doesn't affect his love for us and it
should not affect our intercession for others. I still pray for her. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i>What does this have to do with intercession?</i></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Bitterness
is a deep hole. The reasons someone gets there is unimportant. Help lift them
out.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

Accurate, pertinent, and timely intelligence on the enemy is necessary for
making an adequate defense. It is basic but so important to have a sure
knowledge of the strength (or in reality weakness since we have all power over
him) of the enemy. What is his plan? (Is he stealing your children?) What is
his timing? (Do you sense a tough day for them in school today?) What is his
next move? (Has luke-warmness caused you to lay down your attentiveness in the spirit?)
What weapons will he probably use? (You
are no good, you were a bad mom, you yelled, etc) Take the time to find those
answers and fortify then thwart his battle plan. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

What happens to most people in their storms is one of 4
things:<o:p></o:p></div>

<ol>
<li>They resort back to old behavior.</li>
<li>They get angry at God.</li>
<li>They let their mouth run with gossip, criticism or blame.</li>
<li>They press into the Lord, the Word and His comforting
presence.</li>

The Lord told us to come as children. In that innocence. In that acceptance. (A lot like Bernie) He also told us to be wise as a serpent,
harmless as a dove. You cannot run your mouth and be harmless. Jesus slept in a
boat in a storm. He walked on water in a storm. How about you? Are you an
imitator of the Lord or of the world?<br />

Everywhere I look the storms of life are raging over people’s
lives. People are struggling. They are hiding. They are giving up. When you see
someone being overwhelmed in a storm it is time to pray over them. Not talk about them. Not tell them they need to learn something. Not kick them while they are down. Pray.</div>

<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Basic intercessor training: the intercessors are the eyes of
the body. They go through things way before the rest of the body of Christ. By
the time the attack/storm gets to the body it should have been prayed away or diminished.
It is time for the intercessors to get back into the watch towers and on the
wall and pray for those who are in the storms of life. </span></i><o:p></o:p></div>

<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Intercessors, if you need prayer message me and we will get
people to pray for you and get you back on your feet. At one time I could call
into the spirit and intercessors would hear. Now there is a dullness of
hearing. </span></i><o:p></o:p></div>
