'Gray hair is like a crown of honor;      it is earned by living a good life.' Proverbs 16:21 (NCV) Dear Father Help me to embrace the silver! They say, don't disguise it, you've earned it! You say because of You and the life that You have lived through me that it is a crown of honor! Lord, I've loved every minute of this life You have given me. It's been an honor to serve You. Please continue to live through me. When they find me I pray that it be on Silvertop in Your Way of righteousness. Not dissatisfied, content. Don't disguise, share. Continue to teach me Your ways so that I might meet, greet and share in the Feast of the Open Book with young women just as hungry for Your Word as I have been. Holy Spirit bring forth a record harvest for Feast of Pentecost 2020. In Jesus's name. Amen. Source: 'Drummingthemessagehome', April 30, 2020 blog post.

  "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid.' Matthew 5:14 (RSV)   Holy Spirit referred me back to this verse. Admittedly, this day I am feeling a little vulnerable after a weekend away from technology and so feeling just a bit cut off from the world and eager to get back into it and to get caught up with everyone. What have I missed? Someone I don't even know was able to consume 49 of my devotionals this weekend! How awesome is that? I am praying for you Jenny! Then I heard a word of encouragement from a friend who's husband had lost his wallet two weeks ago. She reported that this weekend he miraculously found it. Holy Spirit did reveal where it was, and after several searches in that place, now it is found. Thank you Lord. My faith is boosted again. God You are so Faithful! Then there is this Word in Matthew. How Jesus blesses us in the Beatitudes and tells us we are to be light, and He even connects 'you' to a c...

' Go to God’s teaching and His testimony to guide your thoughts and behavior ! If any response disagrees with the word of God, then it’s muddling and wrong and not the least bit illuminating. ' Isaiah 8:20 (VOICE)   In a sort of battle cry of the Redeemed, we sing, we seek and knock as we know where our allegiances lie and in whom we trust. We give a shout of victory as we seek the Light of His Word. We give our testimonies as to what God is up to in our lives every day! He is Good! When the enemy attacks us, it will be to God's Word and His Testimony that we will turn to. Not to the words of men, not the government, not the health care industry, not the eastern or western philosophers or anything else that only offers material solutions to a spiritual problem. We pray for God to put an end to their muddling and wrong thoughts and deeds. We see fear will arise whenever we seek the familiar spirits. Only death and misery follow the words of the enemy that op...

A place with a view. Its mine. I look at it as my sanctuary. The lake house. It is a healing place. It consumes all of my thoughts and takes a lot of my time. We bought it after months of house hunting. We bought it on a whim. We've built two houses already, so why not a third? We could only afford it because of all the work that needed to be done to it. But, we both fell in love with the view and could see the potential in the investment. Downsizing? No. Closer to grandsons? Yes. That place gave us a project. It brought unity. Cursing, maybe, but never a curse. She still had some glory left in her. Oh, the stories she could tell. We could add our own stories too. What more could we bring to the new thing than our own stories, our own time, our own treasures and our own lives? And we did.  A God thing? Perhaps! A place with a view for sure. Water therapy. On the road, again. We are busy people. The miles between where we had built our lives and where this thing w...

But blessed is the one who trusts in Me alone ;          the Eternal will be his confidence.         He is like a tree planted by water,          sending out its roots beside the stream.      It does not fear the heat or even drought.          Its leaves stay green and its fruit is dependable, no matter what it faces.'  Jeremiah 17:7-8 (VOICE) Dear Father We are blessed to know You and when we lose that final battle, we look forward to being called home and hearing You say 'Well done my good and faithful servant. Enter into your rest.' With sadness in our hearts, we must acknowledge that she was an overcomer but the cruel hard fact is that she never made it through this time. We loved her and she will not be forgotten. She was a giver. She loved us. She was beautiful. She was laughter. She was wisdom. She was ...

' “Because you have stood with me through all my trials and ordeals,   I give you your destiny : I am promising you the kingdom realm that the Father has promised me.   We will celebrate in this kingdom and you will feast with me at my table. And each of you will be given a throne, twelve thrones in all, and you will be made rulers on thrones to judge the tribes of Israel.”' Luke 22:28-30 (TPT) Dear Father. From a few hundred followers then to millions and millions today. Look at how Your Kingdom has grown! You forecast a prediction, as to coming events or conditions for all eternal beings. Sonshine today. Cloudy skies tomorrow. This is the hour for the power and glory of the Lord to be revealed. Rain down on us Holy Spirit, rain down on us. Revive us as only You can. We are ready to receive Your fresh anointing. Heal Jan, one of your great soul winners today. Bring forth the day of the greatest harvest of souls in human history. Lord Jesus, for centuries the stor...

'doing all things in a beautiful and orderly way.' 1 Corinthians 14:49 (TPT) The rule is simple, in worship and in life, all things should be done in a decent and orderly manner to build up the church family. Why question the method, detailing life, it's a proven way if the apostles condone it. If it works, then it is a good way in which to keep the peace, to tell the truth and to be orderly in church. Believing families ought to go to church to grow and learn spiritual things. A beautiful and orderly environment is a good one for growth and learning. Rule of thumb: if it is good for the church, and keeps up good behavior, order and decency among its members, then it should work in the same way at home as well. The way to spiritual health is through the physical. I feel what I see. A mess makes its way into my spirit. I need a clear space to have a clear mind. My space brings me peace and clarity when I have dealt with the clutter. It takes time to bring ou...
