Foolish as a Puppet

images

“The worldly ways are as foolish as a puppet on a string. It is not the Holy One who manipulates the strings of those who walk in darkness. The worldly ways are not the Lord’s ways and when eyes are set upon the ways of the world they are blinded to the Light of time.

Seek ye not the kingdom of God and your destiny is guaranteed but not as the Lord would like to have it. Thy kingdom come, Thy will done is foreign in the world of those who speak of status, riches, and those cherished possessions. The cherished possession is the King of kings and Lord of lords for when you possess faith and love for Him you have possessed eternal riches.

Seek ye the kingdom of God and all shall be yours now and forever more. Let not your pride take hold for pride is the tool you place in the hands of Satan.

Cherish the tools the Lord your God places in your hands and heart. His tools do not rust. They brighten and last longer with daily use. Rust ruins not only the mind but the heart, for rusty tools are of no use. They are worthless in the kingdom of God.

Let your heart be as a sponge dipped into the fresh everlasting Water. The Water of life sustains through all the storms of life. Keep your faith, allow it to grow.  Let the silliness of the world flow off of you like the rivers fall from cliffs.

Your heart will receive much more when dipped fully into the Water, not so when only a partial corner. Let your heart fill and overflow. For more can be accomplished when the sponge is full.

A dry, dead heart seeks only those things seen. Be not blind to the ways of the Lord. He is the Light and Light can/does dispel darkness.

Difficult times are on the horizon. A heart filled with love can overcome the evil within the world. Let your heart seek what eternity offers. That is the only Light that is needed.”

Suspense at the River

tumblr_ofvqnat7ey1u92kico8_500

Having left his family behind the man runs along the river and needs to stop to catch his breath. Breathing deeply he looks about while listening to the chirping of the birds. The breeze rustles his hair.

Stroking his beard he walks to the edge of the water. It’s late afternoon and while leaning forward and breathing deeply he  listens to the sounds of nature as he thinks, I better get moving. It will be dark soon.

Taking another quick deep breath he begins to run. Suddenly he hears footsteps behind him alerting him to a possible danger and he glances back but sees no one. He continues to run and has to stop again to catch his breath. He has no idea how far he has run but feels an urgency to accomplish his mission. He kneels down and takes a long drink of the cool clear water. He splashes a little on his face, then continues to run.

Running farther along the shore he slows his pace as he glances back again. The sun has lowered in the sky. Shadows begin to appear along his route and chills skitter down his spine. The footsteps behind become louder, closer, more threatening, yet he isn’t afraid.

Glancing back he suddenly stumbles over a branch lying on the ground and falls into the river, just at the edge, not the deep water. Someone grabs him. He fights, he struggles, he lashes out. His strength is giving out but he continues to fight the stranger and has decided he will fight to the end. He feels his life depends on it.

Water blurs his vision, his hair strings across his face, his beard is soaked feeling heavy on his face, his muscles are weakening but he won’t give up.

No words are spoken and the night melts into the dawn. He’s weak but still determined. The fighting, the wrestling, has continued all through the night. It’s taken its toll on his body. He feels a sudden jab to his hip and groans loudly but continues to wrestle the stranger.

With one last determined spurt of energy he swings at the stranger and grabbing him by his sleeve he wrestles him toward the sandy shore. The silence is suddenly broken as the stranger begs for him to let him go. He won’t let go! He grunts and breathing heavily he grabs the stranger by the shoulders. Shaking him he looks directly into the strangers eyes and yells, “I won’t let you go unless you bless me!”

(Sue’s version) Gen. 32:22-31

Stand Strong

images

“The wolves are hungry and on the rampage. Their teeth are bared; their noses sniff with the scent of all who turn from God’s precepts.

Oh My children, bow in humble adoration for what is to come you shall escape. Your love, faithfulness, and obedience will be rewarded. Those who turn away have no concept of true pain and suffering. Their fates are beyond imagination and the Lord your God sheds tears of sorrow for they know Him not.

Praise Him, give honor and glory to His name for there is none greater. The suffering that shall come cannot be reversed. He has spoken and deaf ears and stone hearts reject all that He is and says. They shall regret their decision. Pray for them for their suffering shall be great on earth and eternally.

Let not the world steal your joy, your peace, or your salvation, for that is the goal of the wolves who lurk about waiting to pounce. Stand firm My children, let not the stone hearted misguide you. They are lost – you are not.

Reach out in love and if your love is rejected, dust off your feet and move on for there are still those who sit on the fence of destitute and salvation.

Be at peace and walk in My ways for I am the I Am.”

A 16 Year Old Boy’s Vision of the Tribulation

I, like Geri, believe this to be authentic because I have had similar experiences as this young man. I praise God for His Grace and Mercy! We have the choice to experience what the Lord has shown this young man or not. The video is an hour long and well worth the time spent watching.

Thank you Geri for sharing it and may God receive all the praise, honor, and glory.

Your Smile for the Day

e34c3d583f658f2b34e3628d1aec3dfa

A couple had two little boys, ages eight and ten, who were excessively mischievous. The two were always getting into trouble and their parents could be confident that if any mischief occurred in their town, their two young sons were involved in some capacity. The parents were at their wit’s end as to what to do about their sons’ behavior.

The parents had heard that a clergyman in town had been successful in disciplining children in the past, so they contacted him, and he agreed to give it his best shot. He asked to see the boys individually, so the eight-year-old was sent to meet with him first. The clergyman sat the boy down and asked him sternly, “Where is God?”

The boy made no response, so the clergyman repeated the question in an even sterner tone, “Where is God?”

Again the boy made no attempt to answer, so the clergyman raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy’s face, “WHERE IS GOD?”

At that, the boy bolted from the room, ran directly home, and slammed himself in his closet. His older brother followed him into the closet and said, “What happened?”

The younger brother replied, “We are in BIG trouble this time. God is missing and they think we did it!”
