Forego the Distance

Gallery Leave a comment

Matthew 24:12 and many people’s love will grow cold because of increased distance from Torah.

via Matthew 24:12 KJV;CJB – And because iniquity shall abound, the – Bible Gateway.

This verse is holding my attention today. For a deeper understanding we have to become acquainted with the broad meaning of Torah. Yes, it is the first five books of the Old Testament but Torah is more.

Look I am borrowing from Hebrew4Christians.com which tells us this:

The word Torah (תּוֹרָה) comes from the root word yarah meaning \”to shoot an arrow\” or \”to hit the mark.\” Properly used, the word means \”teaching\” or \”instruction.\” Teaching is associated with the Holy Spirit, just as God taught Moses what to do and say (Exod. 4:15). And it is clear that Yeshua our Messiah assumed the title of Rabbi and performed much of his ministry as a Teacher (John 1:38).  via The Written Torah – Torah Shebikhtav.

When you read the word Torah in the CBJ or Law in Gentile translations of Scripture think teaching or instruction; think the WHOLE COUNSEL of GOD – all that HE has said to us in the Scripture.

Now return to Matthew 24:12.

Love grows cold when we distance ourselves from the Teachings of GOD. When we distance ourselves from abiding in obedience to the WORD of GOD, all manner of unloving behavior begins to go on in our day-to-day walking about.  Not only do I see counsel here for me to heed. I see that the World at large and in particular America has distanced Herself from Torah – it shows in Her behavior.

I can’t change America but I can allow the Torah (the Whole Counsel of ABBA) to transform me. And so can you; and enough of us behaving in real, godly love will put America back on solid footing!

Now that’s something to ponder on Day 3 of 2014.

An Announcement

Gallery Leave a comment

There’s a new blog in web-land and it’s mine.

The new work is entitled Who’s With Me?

It is not my intention to abandon The White Stone. This new attempt, I believe, is an avenue at the direction of ABBA to give me a place to voice my pleas and cries for America; for Her restoration and survival. A place for me to pass along news, opinions and yes, matters for urgent and fervent prayer. I have strong, passionate concerns for America’s salvation, both eternal and temporal and it seems to me The White Stone is not necessarily the forum to give me voice. I am hoping that Who’s With Me? will be a productive outlet.

So I invite you to click HERE and visit my new digs. There you will find multiple ways to connect with me:

1. You will have the opportunity make comments at the end of any post.

2. You will have the opportunity to simply leave a check indicating that you Agree; Disagree or Don’t Care as to the post subject.

3. You will have the opportunity to automatically receive all new posts via email as you do here with The White Stone. And a new feature:

4. A message board that allows you to send a comment directly to my email that will not become a part of the post – it’s a private means of communication.  I wish Word Press offered such a widget here at The White Stone. Perhaps it does and I just don’t know it yet.

So please take a few minutes as your earliest convenience, click HERE and see what Who’s With Me? is all about. And send me your opinions. I really want to hear from you. 

I am excited and looking forward to this new journey,

Something to Silence

Gallery Leave a comment

I watched a movie on Netflix yesterday that I would like to share with you.  If you have a Netflix account, you only need to search for the name (The Freedom of Silence) to watch; it is also available in other venues like Christian Cinema dot com.

Albeit, giving this movie consideration may by some label you an alarmist or something to silence.  As further evidence that something like this movie could potentially happen in America read an article I found this morning written June 8 of this year. Click HERE. Be prepared; in my opinion, it’s not pretty.

You decide.

Galatians 5:1

5 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Blessings my Friends,

Kathie

ABBA, I pray to be as wise as a serpent and as harmless as a dove today.  I pray You will have mercy and awaken Your People to love, holiness and boldness in JESUS name and for the sake of this world’s people.

KEEPER of the WIND

Gallery Leave a comment

It is a lovely Monday in lower Alabama. The temps are comfortable, the sun is bright and cheery; added to all that there’s a gentle breeze dancing a waltz with the trees just outside my window – makes a girl glad to be alive.

Earlier in this happy day, I took a ride – Cedar Cove style – on my bicycle :). That same wind that dances so pleasingly with the trees can make a woman’s ride home a real muscle worker. The Wind.  Is surely our Teacher if we dare to be taught.

Winds cannot always blow our way; headwinds are meant to build muscle – spiritual character. So when we encounter a wind opposite our chosen course, let us realize that wind has one of two purposes: to build us some spiritual muscle or to alert us that we need to change our direction. And the KEEPER of the WIND knows that purpose; let us not hesitate to ask Him. 

The Winds of our Country have been blowing contrary to our roots, contrary to the Book upon which it was founded for not less than 5 decades now. But I do not want us to continue to be afraid or feel hopeless. There are wise, intelligent Americans with practical knowledge to lead us out of financial chaos; there are wise, intelligent Americans with skills and compassion to help us begin to alleviate our social sufferings; there are wise, intelligent Americans with a solid connection to the One and Only GOD who, I believe, is yet willing to help us and restore us again. 

This is my question: Who is willing to surrender to daily prayer, individually and/or corporately, for the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD to reveal who these people are and to position them and labor through them to save America?  Two more question: Am I one of those people? Are you one of those people?

16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

[source]

If you are surrendered to this praying, tell someone – get yourself an accountability partner and pray often with her/him.

HOLY SPIRIT, I pray You will call and Your People will answer and millions of Christians will not fail to pray daily for You to save us.
