Remembering

We are remembering Veterans today; as well we should.
Many lives have been given; much blood has been spilled and, we are deeply saddened.

And while we look to mortal men and women who have given blood for temporary freedom, let us look to the ONE who gave His Blood that we may have Eternal Freedom.

And YESHUA said:

11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 

14 I am the good shepherd; I know my own, and my own know me — 15 just as the Father knows me, and I know the Father — and I lay down my life on behalf of the sheep. 

17 “This is why the Father loves me: because I lay down my life — in order to take it up again! 18 No one takes it away from me; on the contrary, I lay it down of my own free will. I have the power to lay it down, and I have the power to take it up again. This is what my Father commanded me to do.”  John 10 [source]

Luke 4:17-19

17 And the book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. And He opened the book and found the place where it was written,

18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor.
He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives,
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set free those who are oppressed,
19To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord.”

Thank You, ADONAI YESHUA, for eternal freedom, for eternal liberty; ONLY You could set us the captives eternally free and You did. Just words are not enough to say thank You. And thank You for men and women who loved freedom so much that they would lay aside their own lives. Help us celebrate today with gratitude, peace, praise, honor, and dignity for them and most highly for You, LORD JESUS.

An Announcement

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

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.

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

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.

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.
