Early Morning Battle Plan-Be Holy

 In the early morning hours… Before you officially get up and do the slog through another day taking incoming fire…. 

Pray … to have presence of mind whenever and wherever possible through the coming day to have the mind of Christ. 

When confronted or finding oneself in stressful, challenging…confrontational engagements (they are usually subtle) and you are  tempted to react habitually fallen… STOP! Shut up your mouth and your triggered thoughts, and instead remember your earlier prayer—to do, to be what Jesus would do/be. The Holy Spirit…and oft angelic helpers even, will haul you back to your righteously designed intensions regarding the challenges of the moment, day….

Godspeed and God blesses you in this!

Time is short. Make every moment you can … count towards His favor and impression….

Be holy.

😊🙏🏻

ATTENTION: It's Not About You

 

It’s not about you. 

THIS foundational impetus, understanding … is a key that unlocks, breaks spiritual stultification.  It is also a most powerful, devastating, effective offensive AND defensive weapon in this day of raging spiritual battle.

Truly.

The fallen . . . are constantly trying to get noticed, garner attention . . . from other creatures.

Who thinks of and cares about the One who gives every living breath? Who gives water, food, a moment under the sun?  Minutes, hours, days, weeks, months--often years--go by . . . and yet barely a thought of concern, gratitude, imploring, calling out to the Creator of it all. . . .

Yet, note . . . in the heavenly realm, the angels and the saved and all the rest of creation there cannot get enough of worshipping, loving, basking in . . . the presence of God.

YES . . . of course, there is something about YOU.  You are precious as any rarest gem, any worldly treasure--unique and "fearfully and wonderfully made" . . . beyond anything you can presently grasp (though sometimes, I dare say you do, albeit "through a glass darkly"). . . . YES, you are infinitely important and intrinsically woven into the unfathomable, awesome, beautiful tapestry of God's creations. . . .

Here, now . . . however, there is such a push and a diabolical premium on calling attention to oneself--to create your own little (temporary) kingdom of fame, security, recognition . . . so that, it is essential and effective to recall . . . that in THIS LIFE . . . OUR PURPOSE . . . as those created in His image--Imago Dei--is to ultimately know and experience intimately: "For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen." --Romans 11:36

We waste so much time straining for gnats here, worried about our worldly future, yearning for attention like little children toddlers. . . . WHEREAS . . . at some point, we need to grow up, and stop begging crumbs from the fallen and instead yearn and crave but only the attention of our Father Creator.

YES!  THAT IS A CRAVING WORTH TIME AND EFFORT IN THIS WORLD!!!

Imagine today, tonight . . . were your last moments in this world. . . .

How would you want to be found?  Griping, fighting, scrapping for attention from doomed fools?  Griping, complaining about this or that?. . . .Worrying, shouting for attention so much, such that you cannot hear the still, small, BUT INFITINETLY powerful, direct voice of God?.....?

ATTENTION.

It's a thing.  Hence we see how the enemy has "weaponized" it through "social media" constructs. . . .

We indeed are each, one and all, craving attention.  Attention . . . is like electro-magnetic power, amidst the ether and heavens--an energy source . . . which can be directed and harnessed. . . . HENCE, why the enemy and the wicked ones specialize in directing "attention energy" . . . . . . . . .

Demons, spirits, fallen people, various beings, etc., (those not on the path of sanctification) all seek to harness, use, monetize, manipulate . . . the power of ATTENTION (fame, power, money, crime, petty concerns, evil etc.) whether they are consciously deliberately doing so or not.  Psychopaths do this, often unconsciously.  The dark adepts, the occultists, who understand the wielding of "attention energy" do it deliberately and ritually. . . . But sadly, also, many, many do it unconsciously at the behest and manipulation of such adepts. . . . This is the world.  Especially today. . . . Family, friends, the public . . . the town square . . . it's all going on. . . .

ATTENTION is energy. . . . Where you put it, things grow . . . or destruct . . . depending on the spirit/Spirit YOU are involved with. . . . One is Good.  The other . . . is bad.

Where do you apply, focus your attention?  

If this were the last day of your life . . . what will you be found doing, thinking about, desiring? Loving?  . . . . . . . GOD?

In the worldly way, yes . . . it's about you. 

In the Kingdom of God . . . it's ALL ABOUT GOD!

The devil hates that, and so do his/its minions. . . . Hence temptation to take you away from directing your attention (devotion/heart) toward God, but instead to self and those (demons) who can (temporarily) boost your self's importance, pre-eminence. . . .

When you find and give ***The Lord Son, God Father, Holy Spirit*** the proper and SINCERE, MIND-BLOWN, FACE-DOWN, WORSHIPFUL, AMAZED, GRATEFUL, LOVING, DEVOTIONAL, SELF-SACRIFICIAL, ADORING ATTENTION HE obviously merits and draws (if you've got Eyes to See it) . . . . Well . . . THEN . . . you will find out how special and worthy of HIS attention YOU are. . . . !  WHICH IS A LOT AND HE WILL NOT LEAVE YOU EVER!  HE LOVES YOU, HE MADE YOU and HE HAS AN INCREDIBLE DESIGN AND PURPOSE FOR YOUR ONE-OF-A-KIND BEING/CHILD-OF-GOD!  It's incredible and face-down, fall flat on the temple floor astounding once you See it, Hear it, Know it, by His Grace!

HAH! BUT it's not about you!  This is a key truth to know and love!....  It's also a profound weapon and defense in these surreal times of fully engaged spiritual warfare....SO THAT IT WILL BE ABOUT YOU and GOD--YOU ENJOYING AND WORSHIPPING GOD FOREVER!

Just sayin'. . . . :)

That's what He's telling me today:)

YOU know this:)

God bless you.

Love you. . . . . !

He does!

At The Pearly Gates….

 One of the newest, latest, greatest infusions from God, for me lately is … and well, it’s an oldy but Goody… is , yet again, something akin to “roiling love” practice I once reported….

Some years ago, when I was coming out of a desert, dark season, but still hanging on to the hem of His robe, I was gently instructed to—while driving roads, amidst traffic, people—to VISUALIZE, imagine… something like big rollers extending from my vehicle wheels, which extrnded about 20-30 feet out on each side…(sort of like those rolling flappy car-wash mechanisms)…as i drove along…spreading the love of God—imagining a wave of love—tangible intentional, catching drivers in near cars and also people/creatures who might be walking the sidewalks….

This can also be done in stores, where any of the public are busy buying their wares or restaurants, wherever ….. 

Rather than the fallen “instinct” to be annoyed or critical or defensive, you instead imagine and visualize  LOVE —God’s love encompassing all around you LIKE HE DOES! 

You are a vessel, a type, a purveyor of His love and care that surrounds us all…. You bless people with good cheer and humble loving interaction, thoughts, intention… And it is instantly amazing and reaffirming to see and note and share!… giving some grace to everyone and anyone in your path… People are starved for love and real attention/affection…. 

With God’s love and grace flowing through you…you become a partner, channel, representative for Him! Truly a disciple ambassador! Showing the faith and strength and courage He gives you. THAT is a primary task for us here, now.  “Love one another as I have loved you.”

It’s a big deal. Especially now with all swirling cynicism and irony and inveterate narcissism….

IF…this sounds like cheesy, empty “rah-rah” bromides… then, your immediate task is to get connected to, talking, LISTENING TO the Lord straightaway! Because it’s real. HE is real! And He is love. 

Regardless, it never hurts anyone… if you love them and assert, visualize, intend grace, compassion, understanding towards them.  Like when parched, wandering lost…getting a drop of living water, they respond! One way or the other…His Word/Spirit NEVER returns void.

Lol… no one (i dare say) stood at the pearly gates… and had Someone say “sorry pal, you were TOO nice, loving, compassionate and understanding towards your fellow creatures!”

"Sorrow"

Heh... sorry if this doesn't work (it probably won't but no worries...... just testing some sharing of some of my music performances... don't know if this vid will share... test...123... testing 1 . . . 2 . . . 3 . . . lol...)

Hey, meanwhile.... PRAISE GOD!

I am loving this 2022 inflow of SPIRIT uplifting and ALWAYS taking more steps toward and IN you compared to the shuffle, sincere (God willing!) moves you make to HIM!

(back in a flash.... Have so much to more share re recent Sightings, Hearings, Knowings . . . AND, I am always glad and interested to hear any thoughts, responses from you!  We are in a thrilling, intense, challenging time indeed.  AS ALWAYS! HAH! Praise God! Heaven is near . . . . . And Heaven is as lovely and astounding and fulfilling and humbling and glorious as you've ever dared hoped to imagine!)

Step By Step

 Gotta tell you…. God is real…and He is always ready and waiting for you…YOU!… to catch back up on communicating with Him.

Can’t emphasize it enough, but will try… He loves and knows you intimately…and desires daily—if not moment-to-moment …relationship, communicating… step by step…

Hail From The Trenches!

"So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen."-Matthew 20:16

Do NOT let the lures and baubles and sprinkles and glitter . . . and all the fancy noise of "social media" (the world/2022) ESPECIALLY NOW, where there is a great (evil) spirit stalking the lands, inveigl to draw you into envy, greed, quick riches, quick fame, quick ease. . . .

While the torturer is tightening the screws unto your daily being and mortal life--harder, tighter, more perfidious, insidious, and spiritually enervating . . . 

AND MEANWHILE (the evil one) holds out shining gold, quick bits, "security", lording-over-others potential opportunities--oh, any number of seductions, distractions . . . slinky . . . sneaky . . . leading the foolish and self-loving down, down, down . . . .

"For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the eagerly awaiting creation waits for the revealing of the sons and daughters of God . . . the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God." --Romans 8:18-21

HOLD ON!  

We are in the maelstrom, amidst the literal, in time, battle of Good vs. evil. . . . 

Persevere! Cleave to the calling of holiness!  

He Has All The "Time" He Needs For You

 Discourage, distract, demoralize . . . to cause distrust, disbelief. . . .

That is the order of the day, what the enemy is constantly striving towards. . . .

So that you harden your heart.  So that your instant, reflexive answer is to "fight fire with fire".

And while you may not externally manifest it in word or deed, IF the thought--the impetus is in your heart (now hardened) it is just the same . . . in Spirit--this reaction, this response is not in Heaven.  It can't be there, for nothing impure is in Heaven, where The Lord resides and rules perfectly manifest. . . .

"Do not repay evil for evil.  Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone.  If possible, as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone . . . do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." --Romans 12:17-21 

We are to manifest, proclaim through THOUGHT, heart, deed, word . . . the "image", the character of God.  Love, goodness, patience, longsuffering, compassion . . . giving quarter and forgiving all the constant sleights, calumnies, subterfuge, mistakes; in other words, every one is a sinner, JUST LIKE YOU, and only by the grace of God may you be at times riding a bit high in the Spirit.  He forgives sinners--the worst of the worst, ie,. people like PAUL! So, we ought do the same.

Having said that, we know it's not easy.  HE knows it's not easy.  He became a man, in the flesh, and was tempted in all the ways, and suffered the gist of the mortal coil.  So, we have a friend, One Who understands the depths and breadth of our struggles against the flesh and living in this fallen world.

Pray always . . . means . . . always seeking to stay in moment-to-moment communication and thankfulness to Him for this amazing, glorious creation and gift of life--this gift of life as a unique individual whom He knows intimately and cares about infinitely, with the deepest, most profound and perfect love and caring.

The devil doesn't sleep. But neither does God, and we know Who is ultimate and most powerful and perfect in all ways, to rescue and reconcile, restore. . . .

Once, Jesus took me, met me . . . high up on a mountain top.  It was craggy, austere, roiling dark clouds above, but awesomely beautiful, and we were in a private, safe space amidst.  The valley was below,  We were up high where there might be the high flying regal birds and nearby swirling winds. . . . I asked Him, worrying, something to the effect of "but how could you know, care about me and all my nuances and struggles and challenges."  Because, to my mortal mind, it all seemed (this life) like such a whirlwind of a mess--something you might see during and in the aftermath of a wild tornado. . . .

He chuckled.  He smiled--He was so sweet, knowing and forgiving and understanding . . . and replied "I have all the time in the world.  I AM time.  I have no end and no beginning."  And I was briefly shown how time, as we experience it, is not like time in the Heavenly realm, where He rules and operates from.  He was basically saying, "don't worry about Me having enough time to sort you out", and He said it with a loving, gracious, friendly smile, laugh, which gave great comfort. . . . .

"White Knight" warning re-cap

 "Mark Cuban says Twitter is looking for a white knight."--(Mark Cuban)                      Bloomberg News

"Despite Musk’s $43 billion cash offer, Katz doubts Tesla CEO’s bid to buy Twitter will go through. It still has to be brought to a vote in front of Twitter’s shareholders.

“'I think that there’s going to be real pressure put upon Twitter not to sell,” Katz said. “They are looking for a white knight.'" --(Tony Katz) NewsNation

"To escape from Musk, Twitter may need what’s called a white knight in the buyout game, a well-capitalized suitor it can live with more easily than the mercurial electric-car mogul."--Forbes 

"In that regard, Musk said, Twitter is failing. And he's just the anti-censorship white knight to fix the problem."--Fortune Magazine

---------------------------------------------------------

Heh... These are just a few articles, reports that I've noticed come up since I did my "beware the temporary white knights" posts.... Just heads up on that. There's a lot of head fakes at play, I dare say....  Well, and and then the below quote, I subsequently "stumbled" into, evinces some things I have been recently been lead to see and share...namely that The Lord loves when we love Him, PAY ATTNENTION TO and call out to Him!  That's what it's all about.

--Bro T 

---------------------------------------------------------

"The ardent desire which Jesus Christ evinces to come and take possession of our hearts, that He may reign there as God, should convince us that we afford Him a real pleasure by worthy and frequent Communion; and that, by staying away from the Holy Table, apparently from ease with many Christians, we deprive Jesus Christ of the satisfaction He would have in remaining with us, testifies in these words: 'My delight is to be with the children of men." To abstain through our own fault . . .  is to interrupt the connecting links of our predestination, because it is to deprive ourselves of one of the most effectual means of securing the salvation of our souls, a worthy and frequent participation (in communion with God)."--T o'K

Good News!

 It’s exciting and a big relief—the veil is thinning (well, it’s a big relief if you love and strive to know and serve The Lord).

I can now increasingly See bits and pieces of the other side—and it’s as glorious and lovely and rectified and fulfilled as ever your Heart/soul knows and wishes for, imagined…

For those who seek God above all. 

What He loves, and created you for, is to have a personal, unique relationship. In a sort of unfathomable way…He desires and (dare i say) “craves” that! 

Of course, He needs nothing, He is complete and perfect…But there is a great and wondrous eternally profound mystety …about His character, which loves and rewards … those who love and focus, worship Him!

When you meet Him, you realize… how could you not!?!!!

This time, this “world”..is fleeting…

HIS Kingdom is wonderful and amazing and secure and unending in every way (and more!) expounded than you can imagine—though your heart and soul…slightly (which is still a lot) whispers (if you are quiet and will Hear it) to your best self this Knowing—your living Child of God soul, who resides in the Heavenlies… 

Good news! 

“My God and my all”

 “Behold my God and my all! What would I more, and what greater happiness can I deserve?

O sweet and savory word but to him that loveth the Word, not the world nor things that are in the world.

My God and my all! To one that understandeth sufficient is said; to one that loveth , to repeat it often is delightful.

For when Thou art present, all things yield delight ; but when thou art absent, all things grow loathsome.”

T o’K

Was lead to post this….

Beware Temp "White Knights".

 I've been meaning and intending to write on this for a while now....Just have wanted to take more time to lay it out, but now seeing bits of info slipping out that just keeps confirming my original impression, wariness.... I'll try to get more specific as soon as can... but for now, in general...  Beware "white knights" .... Those proffered as such (characters) who are here to save the day.  Ie., those who might be showing up to "fix" Twitter...and various other things/problems in the realm....elon.... Also, well... just note, fwiw for those who take note... I haven't bandwagoned re (well, remember when Romney was once the big hope?lol), Trump, Putin, Elon.... (I'm not putting them all in the same basket, and have more thoughts re particulars....)(You know, btw, Ivanka is part of the WEF's "Young Global Leaders" club right?--Klaus's kids, so-to-speak....yikes!)

But just sayin' beware where your energy and thoughts and hope lie..... Especially these days... Because things . . . and proffered characters, "saviors", "last great hopes" etc.... are not what they may seem to be. . . .

There is only One Hope.

Life is short.  The grains of one's life are ceaselessly slipping away.

We are not of this world, this is not our Home.

These are not our king(s). 

Life is a vapor here.

The life to come . . . and Who we ultimately serve and worship . . . is what it's all about.

Period.

Old Men’s Dreams/Heaven & Hell

 Glimpses of Heaven… and Hell….

I want to be so careful. I know how easy it can be to slip into conveying personal thoughts, emotions, agendas…mere opinions VERSUS wanting to share …as simple and straightforward as fallenly able…messages and encouragement from God, from His realm…including even relations from His Heavenly messangers…..

I am thinking I dare say this (having stewed and prayed upon it for the last recent while)…. You’ve heard of  “the old men will dream dreams” so-to-speak….. Well…turns out, I’m gettin “old”… and “dreaming dreams”.

Quite bluntly, I’ll say…I am being shown the realms. Yes, there is the dreaming time, in the quiet of the night…. There is also, where that veil is thinning, and similar Sight can happen, matters are revealed in the “awake” time.

I’ve been an observer, analyzer, seeker, lover of God…since “forever” …. as have you who are reading this. God willing I pray to be able to surely relate…what I am seeing, being shown…. 

It has to do with the real heaven and hell… and especially shown an encouragement for those who love and seek God above ALL!

I’m not certain if it is that MY time is short, or a bunch of (our) time is short—well, and it always is, right? But this seems indeed to be an especially pertinent moment in time, regarding the times…. 

And I don’t say that lightly! I’ve  been watching, observing, studying, praying…over the tines…sincerely…and have held back many impulses to talk and shout and get clout etc., etc. Because… the stakes are so high.. and this thing is real! But long ago, I didn’t “take the ticket”, and chose the hard (in this world) path , when presented with “the crossroad”.

I want to share/say more… please, I appreciate your prayers to help me —ha! Yes! There is/are always attempted deliberate thwartings every time I broach it…(Although, nowadays…the Spirit is insurgent and backing up strong!

For now, I will dare—as feeble an attempt as I can manage—to assert …. Heaven is real. So is Hell. 

God, our Lord is sweet, loving—knows EVERYTHING about YOU personally…and this world is not our Home…we are behind lines in enemy territory for now…every moment matters…and all that you have craved deep in your UNIQUE) spirit and soul… will be answered for…because He is Good … and knows intimately and created YOU for His glorious, divine purpose.

Aaaand Hell sucks! Haha.. sorry.. but just to be blunt, in crass worldly terms..IT DOES… ! And you don’t want to go there.

Aye! Please… pray for me (i dont beg or ask much ever)… to be able to convey, properly… what I am being shown…

God bless you

Thank you for your friendship and familiarity! God’s Family!

Get right with God. Heaven is so far beyond lovely than what you might have imagined! Hell is worse than you’ve probably imagined.

God willing…I would pray to go into more detail—there is nothing wrong in wanting to know and hope! We are made fir that! 

I know you, like all us fumbling, fallen Children, crave to know , though we intrinsically understand that we can only be shown what is proper and best for our personal time and place…. 

YET we crave to know more about Him and His Kingdom! Which is fine, because it is instilled in our souls, Intentionally, and He loves that we love and yearn for His plan for us….
