And God said...

Since the beginning of time, the enemy has been seeking to distort  and to dilute The Word that it may become ineffectual and unfruitful in  the life of the believer. The devil knows that we know we need to know  The Word, but he tries to bring it to us in a seemingly straightforward,  non-threatening, but questioning way so that he may have a chance if a  breach is discovered, to insert his lies.

His goal is not to keep us from activity, it is to embroil us in the WRONG activity... So subtle are the lies he spins, and the slants he brings, that we must KNOW THE WORD, by revelation - In spirit, and in tangible reality - The study of The truth to unravel the lies of the devil,  so that when he comes, whether it be in the palace, in the city or in  the wilderness, we may as our Master said: IT IS WRITTEN!

Then and only then, may we go out in the POWER OF THE SPIRIT...

The things I write below are some of the lies that he has told and would want us to believe about our RELATIONSHIP WITH, AND IN CHRIST.

The  differences between The Word and the lies that the devil delivers are subtle and  some may discount them, but let us look into our hearts and examine  these words... Look to the end of each, and compare with The Word that  is WRITTEN and proceeds from the mouth of The Lord, and not that which  has proceeded from the mouth of man... Mere oral tradition which if  we are honest, we will acknowledge that as much as we have believed and  touted these words... THEY HAVE LACKED THE WITNESS TO THEIR VERACITY BY  DEMONSTRATION OF POWER...

This is not a call  to bash 'The Church', It is a call for us - YOU AND I to return to the  rock from which we have been hewn.To return to our first love...

The Secret – The Perpetuity of Eternity...

“Do you know one of the ways that The Godhead remains eternal?” This was the question that came to my mind totally out of the blue a while ago as I sat meditating. I knew that this was the voice of the Spirit and so being the smart gal that I am I answered “no I do not."  “Well, the eternal nature of the Godhead is based on ‘The Principle of Honor and Preference’” Honor and Preference? I asked. Yes, honor and preference. The Principle of Honor and Preference is the principle that governs the propagation of the Godhead and perpetuates the unending cycle of life unto life, unto life.

"Please explain," I said…

A Benediction of ‘Tudes’

I came across this piece I wrote a while ago and reading through I was struck by how much I wanted these rhymes to be the reason that resonates in my life... I share with you my Benediction of ‘Tudes’....

A Benediction of ‘Tudes’

Lord grant us grace for the expression of fortitude,

Liberate us from the crippling crutch of platitudes.

Endow us with a heart of servitude

Remove the veils of incertitude,

That seeks to cloak our pulchritude.

Lord change our attitude,

Shift the paradigm of our aptitude.

Give us latitude to attain higher altitude,

Create in us a disquietude,

And release us from the status quo of ineptitude.

Birth in us, a passion to affect the lives of multitudes,

With great amplitude,

Raising one and all  - Leaders with rectitude,

Molded with exactitude,

Into the Master’s similitude,

To impact with great magnitude,

Freed from the bondage of finitude...

Into the most desirable of beatitudes:

The state of ultimate plenitude, In Our Lord, The Christ…

Amen and AMEN.

Doing life!

A friend of mine once said: "Whatever you do, make sure you find someone  to 'do life' with"... Very true words... Words that came to mind today  after having had dinner with another dear friend who treated me to a  lovely dinner, just because... Spending time with my friend  brought it home to me like nothing else could, how blessed I am to have  beautiful people who 'do life' with me, and with whom I 'do life'...  Thank you, Ms Gwen Matthews... I truly felt the love!

Letter from a Mother to her Daughter... Honor and preference - The secret to the continuity of life!

It is only those who know exactly what they want, who get it... Getting to know what you really want intimately, is the pivot that tips you into the realm of fulfillment... Be intimate with and passionate for what you want, and you will get it... Intimacy begets knowledge, knowledge begets passion, passion begets fulfillment... Selah.

Let 2015 be a year of PASSION!
