130. The Bigger Picture



 ❤️🩸✝️πŸ”₯⚔️πŸ›‘⚖️πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸͺ’πŸ’ͺ🏻🌾

This world is going to continue, for now. Tomorrow will come, and the next day, and the next one after that and so on. At least for a little while, def not a long while, but at least for a little while this is our life. Yet one day there will be an imminent rapture, there will be trials and tribulations. One day Jesus will meet you face to face and you’ll have to account for your sins.  Wether you die of Covid, natural causes, the rapture, the be-heading, whatever happens there will come a day when eternity will be all that’s left.

I think we are getting too wrapped up in politics and not wrapped up enough in the eternal mindset. 

Biden, Harris, Trump, Pence, red, blue, BLM, KKK, conservatives, liberals, murderers, police officers, rapists, pastors, preachers, doctors, drug addicts, homeless, heartless, rich, poor, loved by man, despised by man; every single one of us is equally LOVED by our father the Lord God Almighty!!! EVERY ONE OF US IS EQUALLY ADORED. EVERY ONE OF US WAS WORTH DYING FOR. 

Can we please stop with the division. Can we please stop pointing fingers and calling names, making comments and cussing people out on Facebook. Can we please focus on our own homes and families, cities and states; before we focus on the White House? What good does any of this do? What good does all this division and hatred spreading do? The words that come out of you can make or break you. They are blessings or curses and you attract in the spirit what you speak out of your mouth, or type out of your mind. Especially if you’re spirit led. 

Take inventory of your heart. We are not meant to be boarded up in our homes alone with no contact. We are divinely designed with the strengths and weaknesses that work with the body of Christ. Where one is weak another is strong. We are meant to come together. We need to be stronger than this nonsense. 

The biggest threat to the devil is a united body of Christ guided by the Holy Spirit and walking with in the power of the Lord. This is what they’re trying to stop. Don’t fight hatred with hatred. Pray for our leaders, our prisoners, our homeless, our rich, our police officers, our military. Pray without ceasing. Pray that every single person alive in this moment comes to repentance and to the realization of who they were made to be and why they are here. It’s not a coincidence, you’re here for a reason, right here, right now, for a reason. Don’t waste it on this life, waste this life bringing as many people to eternity with Jesus as you can. He loves us, He is calling to us, He will never leave us or forsake us. He is risen for us! 

It’s time to look at the eternal perspective and to rise up. I remember last year I was in my living room and then suddenly I was above my body, then above the house. I kept rising, and fast, I remember looking out and seeing earth as if I was in space, but at the same time I was above space if that makes any sense. It was like I could see all of time and all of space, all at the same time. Any moment of any day, of any location, of any time, it was insane.  I was fully aware of everything I ever did and every thought that was ever in my head, every second of every day. I couldn’t catch my breath. I didn’t understand what I was experiencing. It was like all of my senses sensed everything, and every moment in time, and every persons senses, it blew me away.  I remember not being able to handle it and the Lord putting this impression in my heart that He was just smiling at me with that I told you so smile He gives me all the time. I remember asking if I had died and He said no and that I wasn’t done yet. I didn’t see His face or really see Him at all but it was like I knew He was there with a thousand different senses that I never knew existed and I can’t explain. That was all I really got. The next thing I know I was back on the couch. The Lord has a tendency to do that with me. To blow my mind, explode all my senses and then just pat me on my butt and leave me to figure it all out on my own. I believe that part of my calling is to talk openly about what it’s been like to go through this process. What it’s been like to experience the Holy Spirit Benny Hinn style. He’s putting me through it and having me navigate this journey to show you that even someone like me can do this. If I can do this, anyone can do this! Your life can transform from depression to joy, from loneliness to being part of a body of people who Love Jesus and who do their best to walk with Him every step of the way. Those same people checking up on you and looking forward to seeing your face in church on Sundays. (Preaching to myself here too) This isn’t a life meant to live in sun, sorrow, worry, fear and anxiety. This is a life meant to be lived as a disciple of Jesus Christ. Equipped with the word and empowered by the Holy Spirit as it instructs in the Bible!

I kept that to myself for a while. I can’t remember if it ended up in any of my older blogs or not but I had put it in the back of my mind. Now months later here we are in Mexico and I’m in a small group of maybe 5 people and we are listening to Pastor Rebeca speak. As she is speaking she begins to tell a testimony that described nearly the exact same experience that she had recently. Rising up and being above the earth and then the Lord tailoring her experience to fit her just right. My mind was blown. I started shaking and like, cry shaky talking, because in that very second I received this piercing my heart conformation from God. Confirmation that I was in the exact right place at the exact right time. I was reminded how the Lord puts these detailed, dynamic puzzles together that just work out. If Honduras didn’t close their borders, if Pastors Rebecca and Sean didn’t invite Kevin and the team out there, if I hadn’t gotten my job, if I hadn’t gone on the trip like I was tempted, if I had listened to the whispers of the enemy saying stay home it’s not a good time. My decisions and actions in the flesh led to the opportunity to make the decision to go on this trip. I ignored those uncomfortable feelings, I pushed through every doubt to take this trip. I was in the exact right place in the exact right time with the exact right people and that confirmation shook me to my core and blew me away!!! 

Think about that and how big that is for a moment. That is what we are meant for. To come together as the body of Christ. Two different women having very similar supernatural experiences with the Lord. Women living on opposite sides of the country, who have never met before. Coming together because of a thousand dynamic and strategic moves played out in everyone’s lives all over the planet. Being in that space at that time in that small group. That conversation leading to her speaking out that testimony which lead to my confirmation. It’s hard to think that we are all connected in that way but we really are. Every word and action you make is connected to every other person on the planet and you don’t even see the big picture. 

They will cry for one world order and I will cry out for the Body of Christ to come together! 

Ignore all of this political crap, don’t take sides, realize that we are all loved equally. Do better, be better, be kind! We only have this one life to live, why waste one day worrying about this world when Jesus paid the price! 

We win, no matter how bad it gets in the end, we win!! 

2 Peter 3

The Day of the Lord Will Come

3 This is now the second letter that I am writing to you, beloved. In both of them I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, 2 that you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles, 3 knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. 4 They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.” 5 For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, 6 and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. 7 But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.

8 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.

11 Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, 12 waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn! 13 But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

Final Words

14 Therefore, beloved, since you are waiting for these, be diligent to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace. 15 And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, 16 as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures. 17 You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, take care that you are not carried away with the error of lawless people and lose your own stability. 18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

244. Out of the Wilderness

  The Lord is calling you. He's calling you deeper. He's calling you higher. He's calling you to become more of His and less of what this world calls "Christian" and gets away with. He's calling you, to gather all the broken pieces of the past and He is leading you, to help you put them back together again.  This morning during worship the Lord led me to an open field. There was a half broken down stage like the aftermath of a weekend music festival. I was walking the disheveled grounds kicking through trash and broken down campsites. So much mess left behind without a care or thought in the world. Our pasts can feel the same. So much junk, so much carnage, so much chaos left behind.  I grabbed a large trash bag and began cleaning. As I continued to gather things up, the ground was transforming. The season was shifting. The air felt lighter, the leaves in the surrounding trees began to change and a fresh autumn breeze began to blow through the field. As the la...

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...

250. Stay North Ash

  Testimony time! Change is hard for some people, especially during the holidays. While many others handle change with ease, I tend to handle it like a cat thrown in a bathtub. Settling in here hasn’t been much different. So much change.  In many areas it’s been a blessing and the perfect fit, but I’d be lying if I said being this far away from Leah wasn’t the hardest thing I’ve ever done. While she’s amazingly independent, I always thought she’d be away at college before I couldn’t just stop by if she ever needed me for anything.   This has led to me questioning the Lord on a lot of things, and led to me wondering if us moving to Morgantown would be a good fit for the next season the Lord has coming up over the horizon.   How many of you have experienced something similar? You pray, the Lord answers, you obey, then you’re in it. You’re smack dab in the middle of what you prayed for and it ends up challenging you to grow in ways you never thought possible.  You ...
