105. Heaven's Lullaby

He walked this earth as the Son of the man filled with the Holy Ghost We broke His heart, He spent his whole life tryin' to teach us The way to live and how to give and that no one's left behind But he never could get through enough to get it in their minds Until the day He put himself up on the cross for all salvation And finally the veil was torn in two His Life was short, but this time it was bigger Finding the strength to sacrifice Himself for you They found him resurrected three days later With the message that, 'I loved you so I died.' And when we crucified him on that mountain The angels sang the heaven's lullaby The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she felt inside For years and years she tried to hide the truth her son would die She finally understood the pain was a necessary loss But she never could get over the vision of Him on that cross Until the day He put himself up on the cross for all salvation And finally the veil was torn in two His Life was sh...

104. Guess Who's Back!

Jesus Christ Real Name No Gimmicks Two anointed girls go round the old tomb Round the old tomb, round the old tomb Two anointed girls go round the old tomb Round the old tomb, round the old tomb Guess who's back, back again Jesus' back, tell your friends Guess who's back, guess who's back? Guess who's back, guess who's back? Guess who's back, guess who's back? Guess who's back? He's comin! This world's a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Jesus no more They want their way, He's chopped liver Well if you want sinnin, then this is what it'll give ya A little bit of rage mixed with your hard liquor Some vodka that will jump start your demons quicker Take a shoot up that will land you at the hospital But the Lord'll say you're not cooperating When you're rocking your own way while He's ruminating"Hey" You waited this long so stop debating 'Cause He's back, He's on the search and elevating I know ...

103. Trust the Journey

It's funny how the Lord will take the time to circle back to you with the things that He wants you to work on. Even when you've ignored him for years. I'd say since about the year 1999 the Lord has been dealing with me regarding patience and in usual Ashley fashion I would have none of it.  Ever since the day I obtained my drivers license I have been rushing to run away from something to get to something else.  I'm not sure if that makes sense to you all so I will break it down. I waited so impatiently to get my first job, then to get my first car, then to finish school (so impatient that I peaced out Sr. year because all my back then friends graduated a year ahead of me), then I rushed to start  trade school so I could rush to get a grown up job and make money and get out of my parents house. That led to school loans for two different career paths (flight attendant and computer networking) that I never liked enough to finish, and still pay money on. When I had a good j...

102. Uncover the Evil

This one is gonna make me sick Lord. How do you think I feel, Ash? People are blind. The devil is right in front of them and people are blind, Ash. You have to say something. They aren't going to believe me Lord. That part is up to me Ash. Just tell them what you saw. As I was laying in bed last night cuddling with the kids, Nash decided to start rolling around all over the place. At one point, he rolled over top of me and almost arched his head back like he was laying out on a stretcher. That's when everything changed. The room darkened and I saw people in dark cloaks and hoods. I could tell that I wasn't in my room anymore but it didn't occur to me exactly where I was. I heard screams and cries all around me. I saw children being held down and tortured. I have to catch my breath on this one because I am about to say some things that I do not want to say. I am about to tell you things that you do not want to hear.  Children are being tortured and murdered in Satanic ri...

101. Seek His Face in battle

It's been an emotional couple weeks. I've been feeling drained mentally, emotionally and even physically at times. I have slipped in my daily time spent in the word, not gonna lie, and for a while there I could feel the Lord pulling at my heart strings. Trying to get me to maintain focus on spending time with Him, looking to the future and letting go of a thousand things that I keep wanting to hold onto. Let it go Ash. I'd hear. Yet there is this part of me that feels like there has to be some type of hope. That's the part that never wants to really let go of anything. I posted that pretty emotional video on Father's Day. It felt good to finally feel that release of letting go of the expectation that one day things will be different. Low and behold the enemy is right there over my shoulder whispering the "what if's". What if this, what if that. Well, devil, what if Jesus comes back tomorrow? Get outta my face for real. It's time to shut down the ...

100. When you finally feel at home

I don't even know where to begin on this post. I know the message I want to convey but as usual my heart wants to explode all over the place, and my mind has to try and find a way for all of that to get from my heart to my fingertips as I type.  We had a zoom meeting yesterday with all of the wonderful folks that are going on the next trip to Honduras. We are all hoping for the November dates to work out, we may end up pushed back to January, but either way I am beyond thankful to be a part of this trip. What I absolutely love about this group of people is the at home feeling that I get just from seeing their faces, even if they're across a crowded room or states away. We have folks from NY, TX, AZ, PA, VA, WV and probably many more. It doesn't matter how far apart we are, the way the Holy Spirit connects us has been something that I have longed to experience my entire life.   There’s something about these special people. Maybe it’s the kindness in their hearts and their lo...

98. Step Out of Your Comfort Zone

What's the matter, Ash? I'm sore Lord. I might have to add playing softball to my murtaugh list. But, you did it, right? Well, yeah. And it was fun right? Well, yeah. And you only kinda embarrassed yourself, and lost just a little blood right? Ok, Lord, I have a feeling you're getting to a point here, so you can just go ahead with it without the need of me replaying that in my head over and over again. Well Ash, my point is about trying new things. People need to try the things they're afraid of to experience growth.  How can people ever come together if they are unwilling to step out of their comfort zones and experience the things that make them uncomfortable?  How can we ever see another person's viewpoint if all we do is shut down and hide inside ourselves when contradicting opinions arise? How can my church grow the way I intended it to grow if people are too afraid to experience the supernatural? How can we heal the sick and cast out demons if church leaders p...

97. Telephone Game Gospel

Hey Ash, can we talk about the church now? Lord, I don't see how I am qualified to give any message to anyone let alone to the church. It's not your message Ash, it's mine, and someone has to say it. Alright, lets talk about the church Lord, what about it.  These aren't my churches Ash, that's what. Let's look at Galatians real quick. Lord, it's like 2am why do you always wake me up with these revelations?  When have you had time to calm your mind and come sit with me lately, Ash? I shouldn't have to wake you up to get you to spend time in the word. Messages on you tube, 20 mins in church, and evening worship services don't take the place of reading the word and you know this. Ok, lets look at Galatians, Lord. I'm sorry. It's been a fleshy few days. Galatians 1:6-16 ESV 6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel 7 not that there is another one, but there ...

96. The Stench of Offense

We returned to church on Sunday for the first time since March, it was so good to see everyone in person. Nash man was pretty well behaved for being almost 2, I was so thankful. Leah forgot her phone in the car so she was a little antsy. It's funny how the enemy can attack our minds, even while you're sitting in your seat in church. More about that in a minute. As worship started I was dancing and singing with Nash on my hip. I had my arm raised and suddenly I began to feel extremely hot. As I looked around, I began to see fire all around me. My gaze shifted up toward my hand that was extended to the heavens. As usual, there He was. It reminded me of the scene where Jesus has Peter step out to walk on water. As Peter loses faith, he begins to sink, then the Lord rescues him. Except, instead of water, it was fire; and instead of Peter, it was me.  Jude 22-25 KJV 22 And of some have compassion, making a difference: 23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of th...

95. Out of Focus

How about this Ash, how about we talk about raising the dead? Well Lord, I can’t testify on that one because I haven’t witnessed it first hand. Everything I talk about, I see or we go through together. Well Ash, I know about it, and I also know about George Floyd. Hold on now Lord, I’m going to be hated on this one for sure. Then let them hate you for my name sake Ash. That’s in my book. They’re focusing on the wrong things. George didn’t have to lose his life, but he did. What would have happened if instead of those bystanders screaming at the cops, when George was placed on that stretcher, if someone had shouted “In the name of Jesus, breathe!”? Instead of shouting at each other and pulling out video cameras during the struggle why wouldn’t they cry out in he Lord by saying “In the name of Jesus, demon I bind you! In Jesus name, you get off of that man!” Lord so many people don't even believe in this type of relationship with the Holy Spirit, let alone have the ability to stand u...
