I’m In From The Yard

still have garden soil beneath my nails – even with gloves on it still finds its way in – and before I set to do anything further I wanted to say hello to you, my Friends. It will be a short visit this morning; thought I might just share pics of some of the things that have been occupying me this morning.

I was thrilled to see yellow blooms  

Still enjoying my Easter Lilies

Strawberries!!! And the flavor oh my word!

Here’s hoping for cascading flowers before long!

Just pretty I think – forget the name.

Genesis 8:21-22 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
21 The Lord smelled the soothing aroma; and the Lord said to Himself, “I will never again curse the ground on account of man, for the intent of man’s heart is evil from his youth; and I will never again destroy every living thing, as I have done.

22 “While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest,
And cold and heat, And summer and winter,
And day and night Shall not cease.”
via Genesis 8:21-22 NASB – The LORD smelled the soothing aroma; – Bible Gateway.

ABBA, thank You for the morning of enjoyable ‘work’. Thank You for seed-time and harvest and You know I so desire a harvest of melons for sure; tomatoes would be appreciated too and some basil. Thank You, ABBA, for loving us so much. Thank You for each dear Friend who comes here to read and pray. I ask You to fill them with Your Love and Joy with purpose and vision for the life You desire them to live. Thank You for Your tender watch care over Sheila and we continue to ask for a complete healing. And we are remembering Noah and I am so ashamed I forgot his name but I know You know exactly who I am thinking of and his precious family too as they have all these matters concerning his medical condition and Rick and Cindy and Gay comes to mind too whatever the hard thing; Dori and her pending surgery. ABBA, once and for all could we be done with these surgeries, could there be a physician/surgeon who could do it right and she could heal and be restore? Please do this for Dori I pray. And there are others, Kathleen, and Kelley and Vikki, matters of grave conditions, physically and spiritually – heal our sick and rescue the rebellious is our continually prayer. And in our praying we present ourselves to serve, ABBA, however You will in JESUS Name.  Amen and     .

Kindle the Fire

Without a doubt I am reading this verse out of context but even so I have heard ABBA’s voice and I am rejoicing in it.

14 But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the Lord: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.
via Jeremiah 21:13-14 KJV – Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant – Bible Gateway.

I got ahead of myself and posted a blurb to Facebook before coming here.  I said this:

“But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings . . . ”
Jer. 21:14 in part. These words blessed and comforted me this morning.
And no not because I am wanting to see anyone ‘get what is coming to them’. Waiting for that would put me in line for discipline myself.
I am grateful that GOD is just. That He governs all and that I can trust Him to correct ME justly! And I use the word correct because for me that is what He does — JESUS has already taken ALL MY PUNISHMENT. Oh how AWESOME HE IS!!!
Just saying. Take it for what it is worth to you. ABBA rules! :)


Perhaps I can elaborate here. Truly I am grateful that I stand individually before ABBA. That He individually looks after my doings and when my doings violate His Word, He deals with me. He kindles a fire.  Praise Him for that!! And may that fire be so that it burns away and devours all that offends Him. Burns it away in the here and now. I Corinthians sheds more light on why I say that.  Look. See what I mean.

14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
via 1 Corinthians 3:14-16 KJV – If any man’s work abide which he hath – Bible Gateway.

May I heed the fire here and prevent the need for fire there!! So tell me am I alone in this? Any others see and amen this?  Just curious.

And I have something else burning in my soul too. I am as convinced of it as anything in a long while. It is this:

Praying Together Aloud in the Body of Christ will bring the revival fires that some are saying we need not only in the Churches but in America.

It is the gathering together of the People of GOD, coming together, assembling for the expressed purpose of joining voices and hearts in PRAYER that will move the Hand of GOD on behalf of this world.  Closet prayer is a MUST but it is not enough! Gathering together and one leading in prayer and others praying silently is good; there is time and place for that but if we want a Move of the HOLY SPIRIT, we will assemble others (even by telephone) together and we will speak our praise and our petitions before the Throne of GOD. Have we not read that life and death are in the power of the tongue? Have we not read that we are  commanded to speak words of life?

If we want Him to move, we will obey, we will gather together and voice our praise and our petitions to Him and He will hear from heaven and He will heal us and this land. Does He hear and answer individual, voiced only in the heart prayer? Of course He does! It is not He that needs the coming together it is us! We are edified and our own faith is increased when we hear our brothers and sisters pouring out their hearts in fervent, effective, righteous prayer before our Father.  

If you have ever heeded any word you have read here at The White Stone, hear this one: Seek and find the prayer partner/partners that ABBA has for you and voice your praise and petition to Him, together regularly and often!

This has been a long one so I shall not keep you longer.

HOLY SPIRIT, take this writing offering and administer it as You will. Thank You for miracles of healing and miracles of protection we have seen and we pray for more. We ask You to heal our sick and afflicted and to save our wayward, rebellious souls we love so much. Amen and     .

We have the God-given Right to do right in this wrong World,

Here To Make

a quick report.

Sheila’s surgery went very well yesterday. We are waiting for results on lymph node removal and the doctor believes he got good margins with the mass and tissue he removed. Last evening she was waking up in SICU and her vitals looked very good.  Thank you for your prayers and please continue for recovery for Sheila.  We believe we are seeing a miracle unfold before our very eyes.  Again, thank you for your prayers; so glad you are a part of this miracle.
