THEY FOLLOWED YOU IN HERE

Flying like Peter Pan through the atmosphere of space, heaven, places where spirits hang around.
Shooting past all at such speed, yet not being blown about.
One arm straight overhead as though pointing in the direction will make a difference, with the other hand grabbing tightly to a child who is grabbing tightly to another child. A stream of children connected and ascending like a beautiful ribbon.

Arriving at our destination:
Approaching massive doors that open with Angels at each of them
Into an enourmous room, like a ballroom , completely majestic atmosphere.
Ahead is Father, sitting at the end of the room, in a grande chair smiling. Approaching Him and then turning to watch a sea of children coming in like the tide comes in at the shore.
Slowly, gracefully filling the room.
Little faces light up in awe as they realize where they are.
This is Heaven.
This is God's living room.

Sobbing uncontrollably now at the scene , not in sadness, but in a depth of emotion that is beyond any single feeling.

Overwhelmed by the number who have come in.

He smiles with his whole face and says "They followed you in here."

DIVINE DETOX OF THE SOUL

DMy friend Deborah Fisher is facilitating a soaking meeting tonight at Happy Stefano's Pizza on 1st Street at Jacksonville Beach (located right beside the Pavillion). YOU SHOULD COME!

It's a hoot how Holy Spirit invades the place when we go to the upper room and spread our blankies out on the wooden floor and soak to the smell of pizza and the sounds of heaven.

This will be my 10th night of soaking in God's Presence after hearing Jesus direct me to do so. I've been in the pizza place, a hair salon, the healing rooms and homes and I am simply being
detoxed and made to smell like my Jesus again.

NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THE ONE IN THE ROOM

This morning I walked into the office at work and said "Good Morning" to a very close co-worker. She neither looked up nor did she act like she heard me. So I walked around to my desk which is next to hers and again said "Good Morning". Again, she acted as though I was invisible. I began to rehearse in my head everything I've said and done in the last 24 hours . Had I unawares offended her?

Then I realized that NO ONE in the office acknowledged my arrival. I've done nothing different. Yesterday everyone was friendly. Today I don't exist. I don't think I'm abnormally insecure, but I was quickly beginning to feel like I was being punished. It took a few minutes to see that this all has absolutely nothing to do with me. My co-worker is in serious pain and the others are engaged in other conversations.

Then my thoughts went to how how the Holy Spirit is treated so often. He comes, wants to touch us. But we are self absorbed in our pain or otherwise entertained that we don't even realize He's here.

I felt just a snippet of the rejection that we unknowingly dole out to the Lord today and it will make me even more alert to notice the company of the One who promised to never leave or forsake me.

This is the lull before the storm

DISCONTENT ABOUT BEING CONTENT
Last week, with my mind engaged in my job, which is nonspiritual by any stretch of the imagination, my train of thought was interrupted. Out of the spirit came a personal message to me and to many others who have been internally feeling a little ill-at-peace with what seems to be a season of apathy. Lately, it's as there is no fire for intercession; no great concern over the state of the world or loved ones. Not only that - I've been oddly content in my spirit, though a bit condemned in my mind about it.

INTERUPTED AT WORK
And - so - in the middle of the day, when I was exerting no energy or thought toward hearing Holy Spirit, He chose to speak.

I do love it when He does that. Anyway this is gist of His words. I stopped immediately and tried to capture everything, as I felt those Holy Ghost surges rushing around as I typed.


Dark days are over the horizon and the world is going to desperately need a strong vibrant Christian to help them walk through those days. These days seems like a time of not too much happening; a time when there is no fire for intercession, no burn for souls. It feels almost sinful to be doing so little – but this is the Lord.

This is the time of His preparation.
Not of study – we’ve done that.
Not of soul purging –we’ve done that too.
This is a time of re-supply; a time of drinking and eating to build up strength.
This is a time of learning the rhythm of resting and running and becoming skilled in both.

This is not a day when you are unproductive.
This is a time of gestation; of pregnancy – not of labor pains.
A pregnant woman is only in labor for a short spurt, but she is carrying the child as she eats excessively, sleeps much and makes a home for the new one coming.

This is the time to take care of yourself. But right now, enjoy the peace. Receive. Be refreshed.

You’re going to need your strength soon enough.
Don't fret that you won't be ready and equipped with the power and anointing to slay dragons, to bring life to the dying.

You won't be able to prepare for what is coming through your own efforts. When the time comes, the anointing , the equipment, the power, the words will be there.

More "floor stories"

Last week we met again at the Zion Road Healing Rooms for a soaking meeting. Soaking is just a good word to describe time spent with all of our being focused on the presence of God.



With all other gatherings, there is a "DO' purpose. And we need to DO things truly, however it is too common to neglect DOING NOTHING so God can finish what He began in us.


FREEDOM FROM PERFORMANCE BASED LIVING
I'd been feeling a nudge to point the meeting toward freedom from performance based living and brought briefly the outline from Soaking School on the subject. The CD that followed as we soaked was about nearly 2 hours of music and other pieces that further layered that into us.

IT MAKES HOLY SPIRIT HAPPY

It's a stretch for an American Christian to lay down and allow Holy Spirit that much uninterrupted time, but it makes HIM happy. He expressed His joy by coming personally, on a very real and intimate level to each person in the room.

ENCOUNTERS TOO PERSONAL TO SHARE

Afterward, some said that what was done in them was too personal to share. Others had some powerful images embedded in them and everyone agreed that this was a much needed amazing time.


A few days later a friend told to me of a very weird thing that she experienced in the meeting. She went on to describe in depth an encounter with Jesus reaching into her and pulling a deep critical root and taking all the time of the meeting to surgically stitch up the little crevices where the root had spread. (If we had shortened the time, He wouldn't have been able to finish up. )

I just got another email from her. Holy Spirit has continued in that process with her and is using other ministries to go into the root and really free her up from something that had been a barrier in her life for years. Through exposure to many perfectionists in her life, the root had come and is now being eradicated.
Her Father, she said, was quite a nit-picky guy. Nothing was ever good enough for him. She married someone who was similar in that perfectionism as is the extended in-law family. This has all seemed in to her soul over many years. Now she is free!



THAT'S why I love soaking meetings. They allow Jesus to come and plunder in His garden in ways no man can. We are His garden and He does His own weeding.

Fear and value of the Presence of God

Do I only worship Him for the purpose of giving Him what He’s due?
Knowing full well that He will indeed, do I have subtle wrong motives of manipulating Him? Luring His to me for the purpose of blessing a place, manifesting healing, making me feel good?

What is the purpose in my heart for coming to this place of gathering?

It is a good desire to be healed, blessed, encouraged –
But this must not be my motive as I worship..then it’s just manipulation for my purpose.

He is so loving, so in love with us, that He will allows me to do this.

So I will purpose to have this in my heart:
I worship You because You are the love of my life,
Because You are my God.

If you never do anything else in my life, it is of no consequence to my worship.
I just want to give you a drink and a place to rest.
I come seeking nothing.
I come only to give to YOU.
You do not need to tangibly manifest for me to continue to love You.
You do not need to speak, or to encourage or to bless the gatherings in any way..
The only thing I ask is that You please just receive my love please.

Pirates and Good Friday

Today is Good Friday. I think it should be called Dark Friday as a reminder that it was Dark when Jesus surrendered His life on the Christ and began His journey into hell so I would not have to go there. He fully paid my ransom so I could be free to chose a life in Heaven.
I don't dress pretty on Good Friday. Today I wear black, and I'm emotionally connecting to how expensive my freedom is...
The day remembered on Good Friday was a very long torturous agonizing horror of a day for my Lovely Jesus.

The only thing I ask in prayer for today is the freedom of the merchant ship captain who was taken hostage by Somali pirates. My father was a merchant mariner. He could have been on any of the ships the pirates have gone after. When I was 7 years old, he was on a ship that was stuck in Suez Canal because of war in the are. I didn't see him for a year and it was heartbreaking to me. A ransom is demanded to be paid to set this man free and release all his shipmates to go about their life. Jesus paid my ransom and yours. Today whatever it takes to end the wave of Somali pirates, I pray it will.

I can ask for nothing else today because Jesus has done enough. More than enough.
More than enough.

2009


At 3:13 PMtoday , 3/3/09, I was working away when I was interupted by this in my spirit:

"2009 will be a fruitful year for my people. "

So be fruitful and multiply I say!

Eternal Heavenly Frutifulness flows from intimacy with our Bridegroom King .

God's Pent up Love

Tonight we're soaking at Healing Rooms - and I can't wait!

Sunday night I looked up at the and just said "I Love you Father". I just stood there looking up...and I felt like He wanted to whoosh down and scoop me up

...it kinda spooked me a bit and I went inside.

I've been thinking about that all week. It's like He's wooing me to come back and let Him return the love. It's as though He's crying out " I love you back , so much that I don't want to hold back any longer. Can I release some of the pent of passion for you? Will you let me? "

Elephant Gun

I had a cartoon playing in my mind today. It was actually Barack Obama holding a computer which was in the shape of an elephant gun.

There were many elephants, the symbol of the Rebublican party, you know. Obama just pointed his elephant computer-gun and was wiping then out. They didn't have the good sense to scatter. It was like shooting fish in a barrel.

The editorial to this:
Elephants...Republicans, that is, need to step out of the stone ages and realize that we are in a computer generation. Not only do they need to take a reality pill and get down with the average person, they need to learn to use technology.

I think any Republican running for office needs to appeal less to the starched white shirt bunch. Since the "party" somewhat stands for less tax, less government regulation and more in line with Biblical morals than the Democrats, I'm praying the have the overhaul they need before more defectors occur. Case in point: Glorious Johnson, city councilwoman here in town.
The dear woman is no longer a Republican. Apparently the elephant gang was incredibly unappreciative of her.

Letter to President Bush

Dear Mr. President,

I'm writing to express my gratitude for your service to America and the world during the past eight years.

Before you ,in America, Christians were labeled as politically incorrect. It felt illegal to openly give thanks in a restaurant or have a Bible on our desk at the office.
You restored our religious freedom. Through Faith based initiatives Christians have been able to help heal more of our broken people.

For the good judges you've chosen , thank you! You have done so many right things for our well being and the world's, more even than we know.

Beginning with your first campaign for President, I have prayed for you with all my heart.
Your first inauguration was my first trip to Washington. I've returned six times since.
Once I toured the White House. While there I felt God 's direction to pray for you to have proper support to achieve what you were supposed to do. I have repeatedly done so.

God knew we would need you to walk us through 9-11. Thank you for preventing us from sticking our heads in the sand, for dealing with terrorism , for keeping home safe and for imparting understanding of America's God given responsibility to the world .

You should be honored as good and powerful, right-thinking, noble, wise, quick to act and selfless. You have indeed been a magnificent gift to our wonderful nation. Please forgive our lack of respect and appreciation for you . It is shameful and surely offends God.
I wept as I watched you speak to address the Republican Convention this past year. You spoke with great depth of heart about the responsibility of the President.

I am confident that you imparted a strong essence of yourself into Mr Obama.

You are deeply loved by America and by God. Surely you will hear Him whisper “ Thank you for answering the call.”


Please continue to influence this nation and the world to do what is right.


With great love in my heart, thank you.

God Bless you.
