84. The Sword



I was on the road the other day and I was daydreaming at the clouds. This particular cloud caught the corner of my eye. I did a double take. I was instantly reminded of our country in my spirit. I was then hit by sadness, fear and urgency. As I was trying to figure out what all of that meant...I noticed how dark the area was that appeared to be the USA. It was like a foreboding hit my spirit. It felt sinister and to be honest, it almost made me sick. It had been bothering me for a few days, trying to pray and think about what it could be. As I was praying today I saw a vision of the country. There was a dark cloud across the entire country. It was thick with every negative feeling that we are going through right now: fear, loneliness, isolation, desperation, envy, suspicion, anger, hatred, sin, evil. The thickness of this dark cloud almost tasted like a dry, bitter ash in my mouth. Suddenly the negativity faded into hope. I saw His hands gripping and guiding a giant sword down to the earth. The strength and determination of His grip were a comfort. As it swiftly cut the cloud of darkness that spanned across the USA, it reminded me of the fluent ease of cutting a ribbon. Just like that the darkness was severed. Almost like cutting a pizza in half, but in one swoop, with a sword. The purity of the metal, the strength and peace in His hands, the Perfect Love that shattered all Fear, it was remarkable. The clouds parted, the foreboding vanished. The clouds parted, the foreboding vanished. The sun was able to shine down again. Hang in there. He’s coming, but it’s going to get worse before it gets better. Repent, Pray, Seek the Lord, Seek Relationship, Worship, Have Hope, Have Faith. Those of us who know Jesus should have FAITH. It’s all in the book, these things have to come to pass and they are. This is the Good News!! He’s coming because He LOVES us. He wants nothing more than our love in return.

Romans 10:13 (KJV)
13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Isaiah 66:16 (NKJV)
16 For by fire and by His sword
The Lord will judge all flesh;
And the slain of the Lord shall be many.

Matthew 10:34-42 (KJV)
34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
41 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.
42 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.


Philippians 4:4-9 (NKJV)
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!
5 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Meditate on These Things
8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. 9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.

258. Is Jesus Enough?

Is Jesus enough for you? What if we never arrive? What if like Moses you wander in the desert for years only to have the Joshua generation be the one to enter the promised land? The land that was originally promised to Abraham 42 generations prior. 42 generations it took to fulfill that promise.  What if you’re generation 37, or 16, or 5 or 41. What if your family is this close to the breakthrough of the promised land that you’ve been praying for, and you give up now? What if you take the bait of the enemy and quit before you reach the finish line? Or worse yet, you give up, erase the efforts of every generation before you, and your kids or grandkids never meet Jesus at all.  This is your reminder…don’t fall for it. Same evil tactics different worldly package. All designed to kill, steal and destroy.  Satan doesn’t have to take your life if he can take your peace, wrap you in groundhog’s days, and have you spread that woe is me, lack of joy under a “Christian” label, like...

254. The Eyes of the Lord

  As we enter 2025 the only advice I could possibly have for anyone is to look to Jesus Christ. To center your life on His will, His word and His way. That there is nothing found in this world that can satisfy the needs of your soul like the savior. The call for 2025 is to continue drawing near and pouring out, where ever you may be, in whatever way you’re called, in Jesus mighty name. The healing revival emerging will not be held back. Lean in, pray through, and walk it out. You’re called, it’s time to act like it, as doers of the word. Amen! The other day as we were driving, I approached the Lord in prayer. Prayer for letting go of everything that needs left behind in 2024.  Prayers of thanksgiving and praise. Prayers of repentance and petitions for mercy. Prayers of gratitude for the grace and restoration that ended this year in such a different capacity than it all began. Prayers for guidance, for wisdom and for ears to hear. Prayers to be love and to have eyes to see what...

257. Freedom

  Testimony time!! Did you ever come to the realization that certain things you may consider as part of your personality actually aren’t? Did it ever occur to you that there are things we have struggled with since childhood, and identified with, that could truly be overcome by the power and presence of Jesus Christ?! Do we really fathom and obtain what we have access to as sons and daughters of the most high God?!  Last night the Lord set me free from something I thought I’d never “grow out of”.  Fear of entrapment. This feeling of being trapped in tight spaces, or feeling confined when hugged or overly touched has been a struggle for as long as I can remember. I have always hated being confined or tightly held for long periods of time. It would bring up this panic in me that was hard to describe. It would start as an unsettling in my stomach and a feeling that I needed to walk or move. Then it would progress to the point where it honestly felt like my stomach was going t...
