Please go visiting with me today. Just one click and we will be there. Jennifer Dukes Lee’s blog, Getting Down With Jesus. Her post for September 4, in particular, is what I want to share; but, browse around when you get there – she won’t mind and you might be so very blessed at what you find. 

Here’s an excerpt. When you have read it, click

Hear the Good News, You’ve Been Invited

September 4th, 2012

There was nothing magical about it, but everything about it was magical.

I looked out across her yard to behold the simple beauty of one long table decked out in creamy plates and silver forks and crayons and mismatched chairs. There was a place for everyone, and everyone had a place — right there on a patch of Iowa grass.

(Pictures at Jennifer’s blog)

Trish had invited us to put our feet under that one long table beside the evergreen trees, to break bread and sip from glass jars under the dome of a September sky.

She’d arranged it a mere 24 hours before the event: “Okay, so here’s something random,” she emailed us. “If you don’t have any Labor Day plans Monday evening, you now have an invite–albeit a late one and one not well thought out–though sincere. ”

She called it “an exercise in spontaneity.”

I really enjoyed my blog-land visit with Jennifer this morning. I hope you will too.

Revelation 19:8-10

21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white; for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

9 And he said unto me, “Write: ‘Blessed are they that are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb.’” And he said unto me, “These are the true sayings of God.”

10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said unto me, “See that thou do it not! I am thy fellow servant and one of thy brethren, who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

I am thanking ABBA today for sisters and brothers all across web-land; for those lifting up JESUS to encourage others. And I am still remembering, and asking for healings and blessings for Dori, Kerri and Pam; and yes, asking for correction and conviction and repentance all around. And there are others, many others. I trust you are praying too.  Forget not the November election. Israel. Our desperate need for awakening in America to our purpose and our commission to the world. There’s a memorial service for a dear saint this evening – her family is grieving – pray for them to be comforted in CHRIST JESUS. Many, many other concerns for those in our individual circles.  And so, ABBA, You are fully aware of each. We collectively and individually come with our family, friends, acquaintances, missions, dreams and visions; asking for healings and blessings and presenting ourselves as vessels of healings and blessings for Your glory and in JESUS name. 

Blessings, Friends +++

I did not realize it had been so long since we have visited.

The extended Labor Day weekend was unusual for Hubby and me – we played . . . alone even. Just went and did stuff together – just us. It was fun!

I am starting a Bible Study tomorrow night at 7:00. It’s Men of the Bible. We are scheduled for 6 sessions, each Thursday night. Elisha is our first man. Prayers for my continued prep would be much appreciated. If you live nearby you are welcome to join us! Just EMAIL me for more information.

For today. For this Season in which we are living let us remember:

Psalms: 40:4 Blessed is that man who makes the Lord his trust, and does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

via Ps 40 NKJV – Faith Persevering in Trial – To the – Bible Gateway.

I have folks to bring to the altar today. Perhaps you do as well.

ABBA, thank You for allowing us the privilege of prayer. Thank You for growing us to be a grateful people. Thank You for loving us and making life worth the living. I am remembering a particular family we spent some time chatting with on Monday. You delighted us with that encounter! Thank You for allowing us to be a part of Your pursuit of them and I pray they will run right into You and surrender to Your Will for them, each of them. And Ann, You know the report we desire, we wait for You to reveal Your glory in this. And another test for Another is set to be taken – please no return of the former I pray. And Dori and Kerri and Pam, precious women. Please heal them. And Janet. Comfort for her please and the rest of the procedure to be textbook perfect. And Sharron. That her strength be meet for this day. Alex. Courage to move forward. And some others, ABBA. Many others. You know their names. And each One who comes here to read and join us in prayer, blessings and strength and power to live holy. And speaking of holy – America. Forgive us, JESUS, and save this country. And I ask for peace and safety for Israel and the subduing of Her enemies, America’s enemies too – domestic and foreign. ABBA, You birthed this Nation for Your Glory and the spreading of Your Gospel to the world – forgive us for leaving Your will. Please have mercy on we the people and bring us to repentance. You agreed with Abraham to spare Sodom and Gomorrah if ten righteous could be found; for the sake of the righteous in America – save this blessed Nation I pray and let us co-labor with You, ABBA. For as many that come here to pray and will pray in agreement, allow us the privilege of helping we the people return to You our First Love. Thank You, ABBA, in JESUS name and in the Ministry of the HOLY SPIRIT, thank You.

Blessings, Friends +++

A Nutshell of Filters

Gallery Leave a comment

The study I told you about on Monday (click HERE if you missed it) is proving to be a most needed study for me. Not only what Mariel had to say but what the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD is personally saying to me.

13 For You formed my inward parts;

You wove me in my mother’s womb.

14 I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

Wonderful are Your works,

And my soul knows it very well.

via Psalm 139 NASB – God’s Omnipresence and Omniscience. – Bible Gateway.

I am grateful for my NASB translation as it gave me incentive to go looking for the Hebrew meaning for inward parts.  Inward parts equals kidneys.  And oh my goodness! take a look at kidneys and the word picture that forms is HUGE! (And I have not even read all the materials!) Too huge for me to fully develop here for you so I’ll give you a nutshell.

We know already kidneys are filters. Right? Right. And we know what filters do. They filter. They filter out harmful wastes and toxins. But that’s not all they do. They also produce necessary, most helpful hormones.

In addition to removing wastes, the kidneys release three important hormones:

 Now look at verse 14. Verse 14 says we know very well that we are fearfully and wonderfully made; that we know very well that we are precious and treasured by GOD; that we give thanks to Him; that we believe all His works are wonderful; that we value the precious ones in our wombs.

Look around. Who do you know who has fully embraced ALL this? Look in the mirror. Have you?  Have I? By faith, today I say I am beginning too!

So what’s our problem?  Spiritually speaking, you understand. Verse 13 gives us a clue I believe.

Our kidneys (filters) have been corrupted. They don’t filter out the waste and toxins and they don’t produce the life-sustaining ‘hormones’ in quantities needed. By the way, you know hormones are for balancing the body and emotions, don’t you?

Are you getting the picture?  Sin has corrupted our kidneys. Our filters. Our hormones.

But the GREAT NEWS is that JESUS has come to set our filters and our hormones in proper working order again! As we yield to the HOLY SPIRIT, He is restoring our filters and our balance. One day we will be fully restored! But for now, the more we yield to the HOLY SPIRIT in obedience, in prayer, in HIS WORD, the better our filters, filter and produce. And the healthier we get! And the safer are the precious ones in the wombs of women.

I am loving this study! Thanks for listening.  Happy Wednesday blessings to you, my Friends.

Remember YOU have the God-given RIGHT to do right in this wrong world!

Home and In Love!

I am home and in love and more in love.

Savannah, Georgia, particularly the Historic District and more particularly The Mulberry Inn have etched a place in my soul.  I am longing to return there, this time with my beloved husband and the two of us stay for a few days. I’ve even reminded the LORD that Hubby and I will be glad to minister the Gospel as we walk, visiting those beautiful places. :) He knows I’m not kidding!

And then it was on to North Charleston, South Carolina. We saw very little of South Carolina but we heard ABBA through His choice servant, Beth Moore, and that made the many miles worth it all. Beth was tough on us and we needed it! That’s why I say I am home more in love.

And this morning I began a new study. A Housewife Desperate for God by Mariel Davenport. And with the Introduction and Day One I am delighted! I hope you will check it out and see what it’s about for yourself.

One of the passages Mariel took me to today was 2 Timothy 3:16-17. A very familiar passage. You know it well, don’t you?

2 Timothy 3:16-17 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; 17 so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.

via 2 tim 3:16-17 NASB – All Scripture is inspired by God and – Bible Gateway.

See that word adequate? How many times have you felt inadequate? If you are like me, many! How many times have you put yourself down, speaking how inadequate you are? If you are like me, many! Shame on us!

We are more than adequate! We are equipped! In JESUS name we are equipped for every good work He has called us to – today!

How’s that for good news?!

Love and smiles to you and prayers for you my Friends –
