  • The Time Had Come!

    I had to build a wall. My property was being invaded. By free-range chickens. They had no shame. Dug up all my plants and new seed. And left dropping of chicken poop everywhere. I had to take a stand. Set up boundaries and reclaim my patio!

    It was about the same time, I streamed Dutch Sheets preaching somewhere (who can keep up with the man). And he, as only he can, said something about getting your land ready -“it time to open doors and shut other doors”.

    Listen, I’ve have hung with Dutch for over 35 years. Driven or flown to far off cities to hear what he had to say. Gone to odd locations, at odd times and decreed his last teaching or revelation from God. Hosted him at my church. When he said it was time to shut the door on the enemy – I knew he was talking about those chickens and I knew he had the keys to the solution!

    (If you don’t get that key joke – you need to just stream the man or read the first chapter of one of his books. It’s a God thing.)

    So, I build the wall. But, it made think about Adam.

    How he renounced his authority and dominion – how he didn’t keep the enemy out!

    Do you think anyone is going to even speak kindly to Adam and Eve when we get to heaven? I mean they had it all: the glory, the sonship, the dominion, they ruled the planet. What were they thinking? They had the GLORY on them as a covering!! And since they sold out at the drop of a lie. There has been a universal battle for us to get the GLORY back. And the pattern of rebellion they put in place, the mutation of our DNA that has created a constant fight to just get back in the presence of the Lord.

    God love him, but Adam had dominion and he gave it away.

    What in the world was he thinking? God Almighty had said it to his face!

    Genesis 1: 28 AMP says:

    And God blessed them and said to them, Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it

    (Using all its vast resources in the service of God and Man); and have dominion over the fish

    Of the sea, the birds of the air, and over every living creature that moves upon the earth.

    Just stand up and tell the filthy animal to leave!

    My Daddy was a drunk and I remember watching “Wine and Roses” at the drive-in with the whole family. Dad and Mom in the front seat and us three little girls in the back. The movie portrayed a lot of our family life but I was precocious and full of discernment even at that age. I knew what what it was about and what was happening. I remember in one part of the movie Jack Lemon’s character had quit drinking and the women he loved was offering him a life with her if he would start again.

    I could hear my alcoholic Daddy in the front seat, under his breath, saying “Don’t do it, Don’t do it.”

    Don’t you think as Adam watches the reality show called “Earth-Present Time” on the universe sized megaton, every time he sees us fall for the stupid satanic lies and not exercise our dominion, he says:

    “Don’t do it. Come on, Buddy. Don’t do it. Just stand up and tell the filthy animal to leave.”

    I mean, the dominion has been given back to us. How?

    Father God, Yahweh, ruler of heaven and earth, gave the title deed to Adam and his blood line, right?

    And Adam and Eve gave the deed to Satan.

    So, Yahweh needed a descendent of Adam, a man, another Adam to take it back. Human, but sinless.

    So, Yeshua, Jesus Christ, the anointed one, Son of God is send to earth. Paid the price, redeemed mankind and gave us the Holy Spirit. He got the keys to heaven and earth. Ephesians says we sit in heaven with him and rule.

    So, it’s time to take care of our personal land. To create a landing strip for the Holy Spirit, Heavenly Angels and the Third Great Awakening where we live.

    Here are two great keys to making it happen. (Isaiah 22:22.)

  • Change Point

    Change Point

    Yesterday was the last Thursday of the month. In my world, that translates to Young Living Oil Class. There’s about 20 of us that meet in a classroom at the Baptist Church in Manteo to learn more about living with Young Living. Last night, the class was on the“ Oils of the Bible”. That’s a whole blog post on it’s own. But listen to what happen the last few minutes of the class.

    Diana, (our fearless leader) announced “Next month we have to meet the Third Thursday of the month and I’m thinking everyone should just share 3 or 4 tips of how they use the oils.”

    I don’t really care what night we meet. It’s a great network of like-minded women of different ages and backgrounds who are happy to be there and they make me smile. I’m showing up whenever.

    The downside is: I don’t have any tips of my own. Mostly I just do what my daughter says I should and what I pick-up from the YouTube videos done by women who are actually supporting themselves with the business.

    So, I went back the standard solution of solving the dilemma of “What in the world am I going to do” and prayed.

    It was this morning when the light bulb went on. At the beginning of this year, I was really searching for purpose. A way to fulfill the destiny written in my heavenly book in the amount time I have been given.

    A way I could make up for lost ground and hear the words “Well Done”.

    I had wasted a good many years feeling sorry for my self. There was a lot standing in the way of a good grade in this test called LIFE. A lot of wrong decisions. A lot of thought patterns and habits that had to be corrected. A fatherless spirit. A lack of hope. A feeling of loneliness. Let’s save time – just go back read my previous blog for insight.

    It didn’t take a rocket scientist to see the most important thing was my mental and physical health. I needed a pathway to get it together. I needed a way out of the dismal swamp of health and financial mistakes.

    If I was going to open up a way for Jesus to intervene and teach me how to support myself – and there was nobody else who was – my top priority had to be health and memory.

    So, here is my personal tip. Next to Jesus – the largest Change Point in my life.

    Joy.

    And how to grab ahold of it.

    At that point of praying and searching for freedom, the phrase “the joy of the Lord is your strength” kept coming up. And low and behold, the oil company sent me a FREE bottle of the oil of “Joy”. To me, it was flowery -kinda light and wimpy. I like robust woodsy scents. Wasn’t a favorite at first. But my daughter’s Oil Mantra is “if you don’t like it – you probably need it”.

    So, I put 2 and 2 together and realized this is God at work. I had recently downloaded a Kindle version of “The Passion Bible” (Cheaper then buying hard copy). And the Holy Spirit pushed me to read Psalm 91 every morning. First thing. Apply oil of Joy over my heart and read Psalm 91 out loud to myself. Do it before Facebook – before checking out Lance Wallnau’s crazy middle of the night Periscope or James Nesbit’s early morning Facebook daily post declaring victory for the nation and a draining of the swamp! He has posted every day since the elections! (Well, you are spose to pray for those in authority!)

    I did it the whole month of January. Broke out in tears a lot. Healed a lot of dark concealed places. Forgive many and repented for much. Found out who my Father was and how much he really loved me. How dear I am to Him and learned how He always has my back.

    JOY CAME IN THE MORNING

    I’m not your Holy Spirit , but I promise He will meet you with the right word and the anointing of oil to remove any roadblock to your destiny. He loves you and knows how to get you from here to “Well Done, My good and faithful servant”.

    So, my tip for this month’s class is JESUS and allowing Him to anoint you with JOY!

    ( I think the Baptist would like that)

    Psalm 91 The Passion Translation

    SAFE AND SECURE

    When you sit enthroned under the shadow of Shaddai,

    you are hidden in the strength of God Most High.

    He’s the hope that holds me and the Stronghold to shelter me,

    the only God for me, and my great confidence.

    He will rescue you from every hidden trap of the enemy,

    and he will protect you from false accusation

    and any deadly curse.

    His massive arms are wrapped around you, protecting you.

    You can run under his covering of majesty and hide.

    His arms of faithfulness are a shield keeping you from harm.

    You will never worry about an attack of demonic forces at night

    nor have to fear a spirit of darkness coming against you.

    Don’t fear a thing!

    Whether by night or by day, demonic danger will not trouble you,

    nor will the powers of evil launched against you.

    Even in a time of disaster, with thousands and thousands being killed,

    you will remain unscathed and unharmed.

    you will be a spectator as the wicked perish in judgment,

    for they will be paid back for what they have done!

    When we live our lives within the shadow of God Most High,

    our secret hiding place, we will always be shielded from harm.

    How then could evil prevail against us or disease infect us?

    God sends angels with special orders to protect you wherever you go,

    defending you from all harm.

    If you walk into a trap, they’ll be there for you

    and keep you from stumbling.

    You’ll even walk unharmed among the fiercest powers of darkness,

    trampling every one of them beneath your feet!

    For here is what the Lord has spoken to me:

    “Because you have delighted in me as my great lover,

    I will greatly protect you.

    I will set you in a high place, safe and secure before my face.

    I will answer your cry for help every time you pray,

    and you will find and feel my presence

    even in your time of pressure and trouble.

    I will be your glorious hero and give you a feast.

    You will be satisfied with a full life and with all that I do for you.

    For you will enjoy the fullness of my salvation.

  • Living Younger!n

    Living Younger!n

    By the time you reach my age things have started to deteriorate. Right when you need your body to fight back – it gives up. It’s like the slide to death has been preprogrammed to start at a certain age. I don’t mind growing older, I just want to do it gracefully. I want to live in faith not in fear. Upward movement toward the final destination. Not a down hill slide.

    It reminds me of the Old Testement story of Joshua having half of the people stand in front of Mt Gerizin and half of them in front of mount Ebal.  One side reads all the blessings God promised in  the Book of the Law (Deuteronomy). The other half reads the curses that will happen if they don’t follow God’s plan.

    Joshua stood in the middle and after each verse kept yelling “Choose Life”.

    Kinda like standing at the intersection with McDonalds on the left and Whole Foods (before Amazon bought them out) on the right. The Holy Spirit is yelling “Choose Life”, but we turn left – not right!

    So on my vision board this year:  I want to share with others my age: The Gift or The Keys I received to escape the fear of old age.

    The key to choosing life.

    The first key for me is The Word. The written Word of God. The Bible. The power that changes things.  I constantly preach “What you say today – you will walk in tomorrow.” So, make sure to “Say the Word”.

    But I had a problem. The downside to saying the Word is you have to remember it and remember to say it out loud.

    I couldn’t remember. I had notes of Bible verses taped up on every wall of my house. Post-em-notes, index cards, back of business cards but I never said them out loud. I had a large brown shopping bag taped over my bed: Outline and vision for a book. Couldn’t remember when or why I had it. I would find dreams I had written down on scraps of paper stuck in books. At the same time I was telling people God didn’t talk to me in dreams. I sure didn’t remember Him talking or the dreams. I knew how “It” was suppose to be. I had the pattern I had followed in previous years and  had a vague knowing about what to do and how to do it but I couldn’t run in formation, stay in step, or on time, or sync up with my commanding officer.

    All the “bad choices”: divorce, widowhood, years of not choosing life and talking death, caught up with me. There were decisions and times of not following Holy Spirit… and following the world’s culture and solutions. There was the long term effects of  toxins from the medicine with hip replacement and loss of teeth due to possible infection threatening the  hip replacement, lost of mother, lost of ministry, loss of inheritance, loss of income.

    For me, about 7 years ago, the bottom fell out!

    But for the grace of God.

    It was PTSD. My memory  failed.

    I would get lost in middle of sentences. To me it was like waiting for the record player needle to get back in the right groove on the the record and then waiting for it to keep turning intill we found the name, location or whatever word that had evaporated. Most the time people got tired of waiting and just finished sentences for me.

    I was seeing double the majority of time.  Literally! Couldn’t even see to find the sign to turn into the eye docotors’s office.

    Was refused insurance because liver emzymes were high.

    Had made major wrong decision concerning job choices. Decided to risk it all and go for career change to Church ministry. So when the bottom fell out of economy and church budget, my “church administrator” was the position cut.

    No money, no retirement, no ministry and no future!

    There was a spiritual war going on, but I didn’t have physical or mental resources to fight.

    My spirit was housed in a failing body with a brain whose forest broccoli had large damaged areas that had lost connections to the mainframe.

    I was brain dead. I saw it in my eyes when I looked in the mirror. I saw it in the people’s faces when they tried to talk to me. I lost jobs, ministry, relationships, credibility and faith in myself.

    BUT GOD:

    In the last six months, I have been introduced to the second key. One that has allowed me to find the way back to the first key door:

    Young Living Essential Oils

    Second Life Motto: If you want to live young – you need YL oils.

  • Daughters and Granddaughters

    Girls birthday

    What a mystery, these gifts from God.

    Part of me and yet totally themselves.

    You have not had a thought  or a hair brain idea

    that I did not once, at one age or another

    consider valid and doable.

    You stand in time,

    looking forward, with hair blowing in the wind

    and eyes sparkling and life beckoning you to

    jump in and just take the risk.

    But it is not casual or chance you are in this family

    or this country or in this time of history;

    It was planned by the God of Angel Armies.

    You have a destinity.

    There is an answer to why here and why now and why me.

    It all written in a gold letter book designated with your name

    filed under lock and key

    in a heavenly safe waiting for the day you ask to see the contents.

    Psalm 139

    So, before you jump; ask God to read you the book or at least the Cliff Notes.

    Life goes better if you land in the correct spot

    and don’t have to hike to four different colleges, two marriages

    and so many different jobs you lost count.

    Or kiss a lot of frogs. Which cause a lot of unsightly warts.

  • Woman in Gold

    Women in Gold

    Hi Guys!

    Just wanted to let you know about this great movie. “Woman in Gold” is a true story about a young Austrian woman who escaped the Nazis to America. All of her family art, including the picture of her aunt, “The Woman in Gold”.was stolen from her family by the Nazis. It’s a great story of her fight to get them back.

    There are great flashbacks, music, history, and Austrian scenery.

    And lots of humor.

    Here’s the link to the trailer:  http://www.metacritic.com/movie/woman-in-gold
