Weep With Me - REND COLLECTIVE *new song*

A friend just sent me this beautiful new song by Rend Collective, so I thought I would share it with you.

Gatherings At Linn Park

      If you live nearby, you may be interested in knowing what has been scheduled at Linn Park and the Amphitheater this summer so I am posting this ad that will be appearing in the local newspapers.

A Great Heritage Days Weekend!

We had a wonderful Heritage Days weekend!

The Lloyd Wood Show was excellent, the food from local vendors was great and the weather was perfect.  Many people came to enjoy the evening and several asked if we would have him back next year.  At our follow up meeting last night we voted to do that very thing.  So mark you calendar's for next year's celebration.

The Horse Show was amazing!  I am always in awe of the beauty of the magnificent 6 horse draft hitches.  Such power!  I seem to prefer the gorgeous black percherons, but all the breeds are beautiful!

It was at my first draft horse show that I discovered you can actually ride these huge horses!

The mule team brought by Dr. Hunt from Michigan was amazingly maneuverable.  Here the driver is demonstrating a very sharp turn.



The horse/mule farming demonstrations took us back to the days of our ancestors. 


The goat milking was popular with the kids (and parents).


As was the donkey ride.


David Davis, a horse trainer/musician/cowboy preacher performed Roman riding and showed us some of the tricks he has taught his horses.  (For any of you nearby, he is going to give a performance/concert at Linn Park here in Martinsville on August 12.



The minis brought in the flag.


As you can see, if you love animals, there was something for everyone.

Brian Simmons: I HEAR HIS WHISPER... "You will be My hand of Love."

        I needed this reminder today from Brian Simmons.  I was about to let the 'cares of the world' take away my joy.  Sometimes I forget that my purpose and calling is to be about the Father's business.  Sometimes I need a reminder.

I HEAR HIS WHISPER... "You will be My hand of Love." I bring before you opportunities to serve Me. Many times in the coming days I will open a door for you to serve and bless your family and even strangers. You will be My hand of love and My vessel of honor. Don't ignore the opportunities I bring to you. Take the moment to be a carrier of joy for you are a container of the Christ, a dispenser of the divine. I call you to lose yourself in love for others. See My glory in every sunrise and My majesty in every sunset. Take this new year and be baptized afresh in my joy! Spread the joy to the world and take the mercy I give you and give it freely to those who offend you. This will be the year of greater transformation until you become My hand of love stretched out to heal the brokenness of others. How many can you help this year? How many can you lighten their load and encourage? You have received My love and drank deeply from the cup of mercy that I gave to you—now give this cup to the thirsty. Become the one known for love, joy, and peace—a true expression of who I am. For you will be My hand of love. Philippians 2:13-16 The Passion Translation God will continually revitalize you, implanting within you the passion to accomplish the good things you desire to do. Live a cheerful life, without complaining or division among yourselves. For then you will be seen as innocent, faultless, and pure children of God, even though you live in the midst of a brutal and perverse culture. For you will appear among them as shining lights in the universe, offering them the words of eternal life.

"Revival: Get Ready for the Adventure of a Lifetime!" Joni Ames

     In this article Joni quotes Dr. Seuss when he says, "Why fit in when you were born to stand out?"  What a good word for us -- and particularly young people today! We spend way too much time trying to be like others and to fit into their ways of thinking!  Political correctness is about to swallow this generation. Let's make a commitment to 'Bible correctness' so we can help those who don't know God understand what a good, good God He is!

    Joni Ames expounds much wisdom in this word posted on Elijah List today.

"Revival: Get Ready for the Adventure of a Lifetime!"

Joni Ames, Rock Hill, SC

Recently the Ringling Bros. Circus announced that it will soon shut down. I got excited in my spirit because the Lord had showed me years ago that those tents would be used for revivals in the coming days. Many souls would come in and the revival would contain a restoration of healing like what happened with Oral Roberts and other great healing ministries of days gone by, but yet a new thing – a massive and great new revival. Signs, wonders, and miracles for a new generation that hasn't yet seen such things. I called several revivalist friends and told them to call and see how those tents may be obtained. We are about take part in the greatest adventure of our lifetime!

"May God revive (bring back to life) all the creativity that He put in you as He revives and brings back to life your heart, mind, and spirit. What an adventure you have ahead of you as that happens!"

The word revive means "to restore life, consciousness, or strength." It can also mean to "return something to its former state." The Church often cries out for revival, but what is really wanted? I believe what's wanted is for the Church to be revived and restored to holiness and to God as Father; to be revived and restored to the purpose, call and destiny that He called the Church to walk in – before time even began.

Restored to Our First Love

When you think back to the time when you were first saved, it often brings memories of excitement, vigor, joy, and great hope. Sometimes throughout the years, the "shine" of that time can begin to get dull. Years of hope deferred can make the heart sick. The value of attending church, being involved, and enjoying yourself in doing that can even become like drudgery.

What would restore to you that feeling of first love that you had back when you were originally saved? Can we have it (or even greater joy) now that we are walking in greater fullness as a Christian? Very often, just as in a natural relationship, expectations unfulfilled can cause you to lose heart.

Yet, there is a reality of what God has done in your life that goes beyond feelings. Being revived in one's inner man goes far beyond hype and laughter. As you mature, a stable "knowing" of God's goodness in your spirit takes over. There is a seriousness that comes into play as a more mature Christian that has a level-headed understanding of His love, grace, and mercy. It's understanding that life is about growing up and learning to "hold on" even when you don't feel like it. It's not about just enjoying the hype of having something new and "exciting" going on. It's about an eternal adventure yet ahead.

Reviving the "Basics"

Perhaps the greatest revival the world needs right now is a dose of true common sense, a good work ethic, the ability to "be only strong and very courageous" and press on even if they don't "feel like it." Maybe even a dose of good manners. The Word of God commands to be only strong and very courageous (see Deuteronomy 31:6 and Joshua 1:9). It says that overcomers will inherit the Kingdom (see Revelation 21:7). (Photo via Wikimedia Commons)

I've also witnessed what I call "a sloppy grace teaching" out there that tries to say that God understands people are human and what Jesus did on the Cross covers all sin for all time. So even if we sin again, it's covered, so go do it. In other words, what Jesus did bought us the grace to sin. However, the Word of God clearly denies that. It tells us that when we willfully continue to sin, we trample the Blood of Jesus (see Romans 7). Additionally with that type of attitude, a person can heal, prophesy, and cast out demons in Jesus' name, but still end up having Jesus Himself say, "...I never knew you. Away from Me you evildoers!" (Matthew 7:23)

All of that said, the revival we need might need to begin with a revival of mindsets, a revival of proper teaching of God's Word, and a revival of healthy mentality.

Spreading the Gospel Over All the Earth

Lately, there is so much time spent on cell phones and iPads. The good news is that the Bible is still the best-selling book on the planet! Did you know that? It is said the Bible is one of the popular phone apps college students are downloading as well. Praise God! Now let's teach them how to access what they need to know in it. As well as how to spread that Good News to others.

The computer age has made it such that the Great Commission allows each and every person the opportunity to spread the Gospel to all ends of the earth. Anyone who wants to can get online and begin to do a blog, newsletter, or website to spread the Word of God and start revival.

God said His Gospel will be spread to the entire earth before Jesus returns, and the internet is truly one of the "nets" that He is using to catch fish, bring revival and reel in the harvest.

You don't have to have a PhD, ordination, or anything else. Just know Jesus, and there you go! If God could use a little rundown storefront on Azusa Street, know that He can and will use you and your testimony and the internet to catch many fish.

Use Your Creative and Artistic Gifts

He will even use your artistic gifts. As you get out there and show others what God gives you, it will spur on other skilled artisans to come forth in the beauty of the skill He has placed within them as well. Post your songs, dances, paintings, drawings, photos of pottery, designs of clothing, hair styles, or whatever skilled artistry God has given to you. Use it, along with your testimony, to reach those of like-mind and skill. You are the one who can reach, with authority, the ones in the category that you also occupy.

"I believe what's wanted is for the Church to be revived and restored to holiness and to God as Father; to be revived and restored to the purpose, call and destiny that He called the Church to walk in – before time even began."

Don't get me wrong, we can all reach everyone, but there is nothing like hearing from or seeing someone who has either been through a "similar situation as you" or has a similar mindset or skill as you. Use it for the Lord! This is how we empower one another to overcome! The Bible says we overcome satan by the Blood of the Lamb and word of our testimonies (see Revelation 12:11).

So you see, even if you have felt different or strange, you were born to be "different" so that you could reach others who are also "different." It's part of your gifting. You were not born to hide. Like Dr. Seuss says, "Why fit in when you were born to stand out?" As you "stand out" you will do outstanding things in the Kingdom and bring in many.

May God revive (bring back to life) all the creativity that He put in you as He revives and brings back to life your heart, mind, and spirit. What an adventure you have ahead of you as that happens!

Make the Church Great Again

Much has been said about Donald Trump's campaign slogan, "Make America great again." Well, the way to make America great again is to make the Churchin America great again. Revive it. Restore it. Breathe life into it. Bring it back to being a living, breathing, full functioning organ again. 

One way to make the Church in America great again is to bring the Holy Bible back into it instead of political correctness. Unashamedly preach and teach it and let people know what sin is and how to defend one's self against it, as well as how to get out of its snare if entrapped in it. Holiness isn't a religious-spirited thing. Holy is the first name of Holy Spirit. (Photo via Flickr)

If we want revival and restoration, we must have an understanding of what is profane and what is holy. There must be a restoration of the plumb-line of holiness so that we know what our proper boundary lines are. No blurry lines. Clear Blood of Jesus lines.

Jesus died to save and protect us from sin. He didn't die and get raised again to raise sin up as an example of who and what we should be or follow. May God truly revive and bring back to life a holy and spotless Church for a holy and spotless Bride to be joined to Her King.

Get ready! We are about to witness and be a part of the greatest adventure of our lifetime! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List go here.)

A great word from Lana Vawser

"June is Divine Bloom! The Month You Will Feel Like Pinching Yourself!"

Lana Vawser, Brisbane, Australia

Angels of Blessing and the Month of June

People of God: Hold on, hold on, hold on – for the Lord has dispatched angels of blessing to go before you and to bring recompense, restoration and increase back to you! Where the enemy has come and thought he plundered you, now the Lord has released these angelic hosts and they are going back to the enemy's camp and they are taking the spoils and bringing back all that was stolen.

"It is not surreal, it is supernaturally real!"

The enemy is being paid back for touching you. The enemy is being paid back for tormenting you. The enemy is being paid back for stealing, killing and destroying in your life. The enemy is being paid back for lying to you. The enemy is being paid back for attempting to kill you.

The Lord is rising in your defense! This past while has been so dark for so many, but I heard the Lord say that, "The level of darkness you have experienced is because of the major breakthrough that is being released in your life." It's not something that the Lord is saying "is coming," it's something that is "upon you."

There are going to be major demonstrations of increase, of the blessing of God, of recompense, redemption and restoration for you. The night has turned into day.

I saw these angelic hosts going up and down timelines and they were taking back everything that was stolen to bring back to the people of God. I saw these angelic hosts even going back into generational lines and closing doors as the people of God interceded and stood in declaration upon the Word of God.

I saw the Lord pronouncing blessing over generational lines and a line in the sand being drawn that decreed, "From this point on there will be blessing upon blessing."

Recently, the Lord spoke to me that there is a great battle on right now attempting to distract God's people. Don't look at the distraction. Keep standing upon the rhema Word the Lord gave you, for significant breakthrough and turnaround is upon you. (Photo via The Elijah Shopper. Angel Among Usby Jennifer Page)

Where there has been a dark cloud of heaviness, the Lord is decreeing a cloud of joy!

This isn't just a new "season" for many of you, it's a "new era." What you are moving into now, the land of blessing, increase, abundance, opportunities and destiny, is nothing like you have ever experienced before.

June, "The Month You Will Feel Like Pinching Yourself"

The Lord spoke to me about June and I heard Him say, "June, the month you will feel like pinching yourself." The atmosphere around me was filled with joy and the feeling of "exceeded" expectations and joy!

"There are going to be major demonstrations of increase, of the blessing of God, of recompense, redemption and restoration for you. The night has turned into day."

There is going to be so much breakthrough in joy that you will have the sense of "pinching yourself" because it feels surreal...and I felt the Lord say:

"It is not surreal, it is supernaturally real!"

There is going to be extravagant joy in June as the blessing, increase, recompense, redemption, restoration, favor and abundance of provision of the Lord's hand increases on a level many have never experienced before.

I saw June like a beautiful rose that was opening up and I heard the words, "June, the month of divine bloom."

So much is going to bloom in you, through you and for you in June! The aroma of Jesus, the Rose of Sharon, is going to increase so much in your life and through your life in June. A beautiful, deep, rich, new refreshing place of encounter with Jesus and place of deep intimacy will bloom!

Worship is Going to Lift Off the Hooks of the Past and Take You Higher Than You've Ever Been

I saw in June specifically, as God's people really press in deeply into worship (increasing our time and pressing deep in worship), hooks that have been used previously to "trigger" God's people into fear and torment (things used to hold them back, keep them on the ground, stopping them from flying), are suddenly lifting off and the Lord will take His people higher than they have ever been. He will take them higher in their perspective, their freedom, their joy, their peace, their revelation of the Word and significant increase in favor. (Photo via Pixabay)

Where these hooks have sucked the life out of many of God's people, causing a deep weariness and hopelessness of constantly being "pulled back" and a feeling of wanting to give up, these hooks will be removed once and for all! The Lord will give you greater hope, clarity, vision, joy, insight and wisdom for the future than you have ever had – to go further with Him than you ever dreamed.

Worship is a very strategic key to breakthrough always, but especially in June. Worship Jesus! Worship Jesus! 

June: The month where you will feel like you are pinching yourself because of the amazing breakthrough, healing, joy, increase and abundance that He is releasing.

But remember what He said: "It's not surreal...it's supernaturally real!" (To Subscribe to the Elijah List go here.)

Heritage Days

If you live nearby, you won't want to miss this year's festival!

Johnny Enlow: 1967 was the "Summer of LOVE" - 50 Years Later - 2017 is the "Summer of the DOVE!"

I love to read words by Johnny Enlow.  They are always encouraging and exciting.  God is a good God and He is about to show us that He is coming in power to enable us to change the world!

1967 was the "Summer of LOVE" - 50 Years Later - 2017 is the "Summer of the DOVE!"

Johnny Enlow, Santa Clarita, CA

I am finalizing this word while in Jerusalem, just before Pentecost, where we remember the glorious outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the Upper Room that birthed and launched the Church. The Lord has been speaking to me much about the coming breakout of Heaven over us this upcoming summer. 

It has been so inspirational being here in Jerusalem with so much history taking place and being revisited. My own journey with the Holy Spirit began 50 years ago as I was baptized in the Holy Spirit the same year Jerusalem came back under Israel rule. 1967 gave us The Summer of Love and now 50 years later we are going to get The Summer of the Dove.

I believe that starting this Pentecost we will experience a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit that is connected to an unprecedented release of new songs and sounds of Heaven. We actually really need it. These songs and sounds will pierce the atmosphere with the Holy Spirit's new marching rhythms.

"Make sure you position yourself at this time to receive the new double-portion outpouring of the Holy Spirit."

This Pentecost season connects us to the 50th anniversary of Jerusalem miraculously and stunningly coming back under Israel authority after more than two thousand years. Jerusalem and Israel's resurrected destiny is totally tied into an increase of the work of the Holy Spirit. We are now about to "go double" on what is being poured out by the Dove. It is also connected to the 500th anniversary of the beginning of the Protestant Reformation.

This Pentecost also represents the 111th Pentecost since the Azusa Street Revival that has changed the world forever. Before that outpouring, the percentage of Christians with a defined encounter or baptism in the Holy Spirit did not reach even .1% of Believers. Now there are an estimated 700 million "Spirit-filled" Believers, meaning that almost 1 in every 10 people on the planet has had an encounter or baptism with the Holy Spirit that goes beyond just "saying the sinners prayer". This is an almost astronomical reality that is becoming the progressive game-changer of all game-changers on our planet. 

Now another significant Acts 2:17 outpouring of the Holy Spirit is about to take place. He is going to pour out His Spirit on all flesh and prophetic songs and sounds are forthcoming.

Songs that Usher in Reformation and Renaissance

I have been aware that our worship songs of recent years have not captured the prophetic ascendancy that has been available. By that I mean, that though there have been amazing songs over the last few years, they have lagged behind in "prophetic maturity and declaration". Anointed worship songs and anthems are often ten or more years ahead of where the advancing Church is. This has not been recently the case. 

There have been great songs of overcoming fear and great songs of our Father's love for us – both very needed, yet limited prophetic seeing into this day of Reformation and Renaissance. For the last couple of years I have been declaring the availability of these songs for the anointed psalmists, but I have seen a vision of these songs as the fruit at the top of a tree that we have never climbed to. 

The low hanging fruit satisfied and so a higher place was not sought out. Part of the reason for this is that we have become quite content with the new formula for the new worship songs and that has hindered the high creativity and thus the high anointing that was available to be accessed. Don't get me wrong, worship songs have been fine but there has been a higher level available. This will not be held back anymore. 

The coming outpouring of the Holy Spirit is going to make those high treetop places more readily accessible, but songbirds and songwriters are still going to have to break out of the "safe formulaic box" and go there and get it. The more successful you presently are the more unlikely you are to break out of your mold, and so many of the new songs are likely to come from previously unknown sources. The invitation of course is to all. 

Find the rarefied air in the Spirit and then respond to what you have encountered. There is another dimension and perspective of His heart towards us yet available to be accessed, and when it is found it will carry a presence power that will literally melt the hearts of the masses. Our new praise to Him will come out of that new revelation of His expanded heart towards us.

Sounds that Bring Heavenly Accelerant 

We are going to be greatly propelled by the new songs and the new sounds of Heaven that are coming to us and it is going to add heavenly accelerant to the Body of Christ. These songs will release new hope, new faith, new joy, new vision and new love. Justice and liberty will ring out from the very sounds that are captured and released.

"1967 gave us The Summer of Love and now 50 years later we are going to get The Summer of the Dove."

The new sounds, the new beats and the new rhythms will at times feel like an approaching or a departing train – and I say that prophetically without fully knowing what that means, but I can feel it coming in. It all ties in to the Reformation Glory Train (my first prophetic word of 2017) that is coming into this nation and into the nations of the world. We will have expanded definitions of the love and the glory of the Lord, because we haven't seen anything yet compared to what is coming. 

Heaven is about to show up and show off outside of the four walls of the Church and every stage on the planet will be a divine target. Jesus told us, "You are the light of the WORLD," not just "You are the light of the Church." We are going to learn to run with this as we have never done before. The 7 mountains of society (media, economy, government, education, family, arts and religion) are going to be progressively invaded by the King's kids who understand that narrative and the day we live in. It is not about "domination" of the mountains, it is about loving, anointed, creative, innovative influence on the mountains. 

God has a better way for everything. Toss out all end-time expectations of doom and gloom. Yes, we will have intense resistance and in many nations significant persecution will abound. However, in the midst of all these realities it is the Kingdom of God that will be the prevailing dynamic. 

We have just begun an extended period of the most aggressive "Kingdom" advancement ever and we are going to march to the beat of the sound of the incoming Reformation Glory Train. The most dramatic Renaissance period in history is unveiling before our eyes and ultimately it will restore the face of God to society in a creative and innovative display that the Church has never seen. (Photo via Flickr)

In the upcoming Summer of the Dove, the songs and sounds of Heaven are going to help us get on board with a new level of agreement. The new soundtrack of Heaven is imperative to accompany the new showtime that Heaven has planned for earth. Make sure you position yourself at this time to receive the new double-portion outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Make sure you carry the new wineskin of reformation of society that is required to hold this fresh anointing from Heaven. 

Psalmists, minstrels, song writers, musicians, house of David – you are vital at this time. You must receive the new soundtrack of Heaven that is going to accompany the new "show-time" on earth for the Kingdom of God. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List go here.)

Another way we have found to advertise Heritage Days

The grain elevator had a trailer they were not using, so we parked it on some of our farmland between Casey & Martinsville which borders I70.  We then added an 8x18 foot banner.  Country Guy calculated from State Highway estimates that it should have over 200,000 looks before the Festival on June 9-11.  I wish there was a way we could find out if anyone came because they saw the sign on the Interstate.

Of course, after installing it, we drove to Casey to get on the Interstate headed to Martinsville to check it out.  A great location--and very readable!

Dust Storm

      Last week, Norma & I hung Heritage Days and Martinsville Fair posters in the surrounding area.  The wind was terrible!  When we were in the Tuscola/Arcola/Arthur area we ran into several dust storms which helped us understand the stories we have read about the Dust Bowl of the 30's.
    The next day we heard there were several accidents, including one death as the person ran into the back of a semi while she was blinded by the storm.
     That is certainly understandable as you can see in these photos which I took through the car window as Norma was driving.  Fortunately, we saw the truck in front of us as it entered the storm. and slowed down significantly.
      You can see the progression of intensity of the dust as we approached this particular storm.

Heritage Days Photo Contest

    We are having a photo contest for Heritage Days as a way to get great photos to use in our promotional material next year.  If you live nearby and love to take pictures we hope you will enter the contest.  All photos must be taken at this year's Festival/Horse Show, June 9-11.
     Here is the flyer with the information you will need to enter.

1 Thessalonians 4:7 The Passion Translation

Heritage Days Children's Activities

      We have some great children's activities planned for Heritage Days, June 9-11.  On
Friday night during the Lloyd Wood concert there will be barrel train rides and then Saturday and Sunday afternoons lots of things will be happening.  Here is the flyer I prepared to send home with the grade school kids.  If you want to know more about the Festival you can check it out at martinsvilleheritagedays.com.

God Says, "I Played My Trump Card, I Will Win the Hand" Johnny Enlow

I always take heed when I see a word from Johnny Enlow because I have seen much of what he has said before come to pass.  This one, I think, is no exception.  It was posted on The Elijah List today so you can read it online here, if you want.

God Says, "I Played My Trump Card, I Will Win the Hand"

Johnny Enlow, Santa Clarita, CA

Word of the Lord released by Johnny Enlow on Thursday, May 18, 2017:

Last night I was awakened with an intense and fiery word from the Lord that I will attempt to convey. This is what I heard:

"Be not moved and shaken by the present shakings, rumblings and reactions coming out of DC. I did not go out of My way to affect this last election to then suddenly have it aborted. I played My Trump card and I will win the hand. This move does not require My Trump card to be perfect, as I have already taken all of that into consideration – as I always do – when I choose anyone for any assignment that I have.

"Jesus was the last man that had the character in place to actually sustain the call upon His life. Since then no one has had the character-base necessary for the great assignments that I have given out. Do not wrongly assume that I only call those who are qualified. I instead continually work to qualify the called, but I have amazing patience for that process. Yes, I am actively at work in upgrading My Trump card's character even through the fire he is going through.

"Hang on, because a time of accelerated change is here."

"Do not find yourself having less patience than I do in your zeal for character and holiness. Human religious idealism has time and time again worked against Me as you choose to prioritize that which YOU see fit instead of what I am working on next. You must learn to stay out of judgment seats you don't belong in.

"I Am Neither Republican or Democrat"

"You do not yet know how to cooperate with what I do on planet earth because you are often out of sync both with who I am and with what My agenda is. However, even as I call you higher to a place of wisdom and trust – yet I still have patience for you as you struggle to recognize My present-day narrative. I am neither Republican nor Democrat. I am neither Conservative nor Liberal.

"Conservative-mindedness carries elements of anxiousness and fear that I do not carry. I am not on the defensive. I am not just trying to conserve principles and values. I am not wringing My hands at the sins of those who do not know Me. I do not have as My highest priority that society stop misbehaving. I am not angst-ridden in any way at all.

"I am more about liberating than about conserving. I am liberal in what I give out and My atmosphere is one that liberates. Where My Spirit is there is freedom. Even since the Garden of Eden, I have always trusted you with more freedoms than what you were then ready for. I am still the same God. I have always liberally given to society freedoms, provision, protection and opportunities that they do not deserve. (Photo via Maxpixel)

"I have been saddened but never surprised at humanity not properly stewarding that which I have given them. I am not ever shocked at what those do – who do not know Me. It is the expected behavior for those who do not know Me. Moreover, My priority when dealing with humanity is always with those who know Me – or think they know Me. I am not overly concerned when a broken society does not prioritize love. I do however call for those who are called by My name to operate from My priority of love and My priority of fearlessness.

"My heart is still strongest for the weak, for the poor, for the displaced, for the alien, for the prisoner, for the suffering. Many of you have created for yourself a God made in your image, but be assured of this – it is YOU who must conform to My image. If you have forgotten My image go back and study who Jesus revealed Me to be.

"I made the United States to be a melting pot for the nations. I made the nation to be a Promised Land of sorts for many nations. Yes, some basic safety procedures and processes need to be implemented, but I did not choose Trump because this was a priority of Mine. Yes, some protection of American values of freedom and tolerance need to be watched over but even this has not been My priority with My choosing of Donald Trump. He is in fact called to bring greater security to America, but much of that will happen through different means than presently being pursued.

"I Chose Trump For Purposes You Must Yet Be Patient to Watch For"

"I have chosen to play My Trump card as an interrupter of darkness and as a lead domino for national reformation – that will lead to reformation among the nations. The status quo of government had become entrenched on dark strongholds and I have played My Trump card as a disrupter of those strongholds. I have released Myriads of the hosts of Heaven to assist with that assignment.

"I chose Trump for purposes you must yet be patient to watch for. The hordes of Hell in media have rallied in mass under Leviathan but I will crush them under the forces that I have released under My trusted archangel Gabriel. He will be instrumental in devastating media outlets that do not position themselves as lovers of truth and goodness. There will be in-house fires that will not be able to be put out in some major media outlets. There will be the hanging by the very noose they have created for others.

"Do not be deceived by the look of power that the enemy in media presently seems to carry. Much of it will presently look very different. I have already beheaded the enemy in many places and much of the backlash you hear or see is the backlash, as it were, of a chicken with its head cut off. Its strongest kick is post-mortem – but it has already been dealt with. My Trump card is something I will continue to play, but it is a card I have already played as well. Much of the enemy's powerful-seeming backlash is the backlash of that which is beheaded.
"I Have Chosen Trump to Repair Your National Economy"

"Be not moved and shaken by the present shakings, rumblings and reactions coming out of DC"

"I have chosen Trump and his unique skill-set to repair your national economy and to by extension, repair the economy of the nations. It is not a smooth uncomplicated process but it is a process I will help him with. It is the enemy who has been trying to destroy your economy and the nations' economies. He has been attempting that and even surreptitiously setting up for that in order to stop the massive harvest already coming in; and in aborting the age of reformation and era of renaissance that you are presently engaged in.

"I am saving you from much deeper conspiracies and from much darker futures than most of you can even begin to comprehend. Even you conspiracy followers only see the human elements involved and they are ever there from generation to generation with changing faces. Almost none of you have seen the dark hands behind the scene. It is why you must trust Me at this time though you are not used to trusting Me. You have created belief systems that limit My scope and scale of intervention on this planet and you are wrong in your assumptions of My Sovereignty being limited.

"I am still Ruler of the nations and as Jesus confirmed to you: ALL power in Heaven AND EARTH is Mine and Ours. The little authority on your tiny earth that I surrendered through the fall of Adam, I fully regained through what Jesus did on the Cross. Yes, I require your co-laboring with Me on all matters of planetary change, not because I need your enabling power, but because I desire partnership and collaboration with My sons and daughters. Don't confuse My love for family partnership as a need for whatever power you can provide Me. Surely, you see the foolishness of the idea that I, the Creator of the Universe, would need YOUR power to eradicate darkness.

"I, with one pronouncement and in one moment, could eliminate all evil from the planet. This is within My immediate capabilities. However, I am not just fighting evil, but I am raising sons and I am maturing a Bride. My great joy will be to have sons and daughters in My image to such an extent that their advanced levels of love will release My glory and crush the evil one.

"I am committed to using YOU not because I need your power but because I desire your cooperation in making My story sufficiently majestic. There is no greater joy I could have and no greater glory I could receive, than to have those made in My image arise and shine with who I really am in every area of society. Because of My great patience and because of My ultimate trust in My image in you – this will happen.

"You can expedite matters on earth's time clock by cooperating with Me, but as surely as I live, the whole earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of God that will be seen on My kids. I am not doing this without you, but MY choice. My present intervention in your government, your media, and your economy is all part of the process of enabling you to be positioned for maximum reflecting of My brilliance among the nations. I am fully Sovereign, but I am also fully committed to your partnership in the process."

"For I will At This Time Overhaul the World and Overhaul Your World"
"Hang on, because a time of accelerated change is here. For I will at this time overhaul the world and overhaul your world. You must not overrate your thoughts, your judgments, your theology, your eschatology. Most of these have put Me in boxes that I do not reside in. This is a time where literally ALL IS POSSIBLE for those who look to Me. Therefore, you must remove the veils through which you see Me. Position yourself to be in learning mode from Me. Thinking you know something is literally your greatest hindrance at this time.

"I only can fill empty vessels. Find a way to empty yourselves. Humility is a huge key. Gratitude is a huge key. These keys will help you access the great golden keys of faith, hope and love. I call on you to stop carrying anxiety, stop the finger pointing, stop the angst, stop proclaiming end of days scenarios. Stop any and everything that takes you out of being a carrier of good news. You are ministers of the Gospel and that word still means 'good news'. Your best days are here if you are committed to faith, hope and love.

"I am using My Trump card for certain matters but you must rise up and make even the much greater Kingdom difference." (To Subscribe to the Elijah List go here.)

Garden Work

      I have been very busy with garden work lately--both mine and those at the Linn Park.  Yesterday I had lots of help mulching the Linn Park gardens.  What a blessing!  I am excited to have them done just in time for the great little rain shower this morning.  Hopefully, they will be beautiful for Heritage Days and the other activities planned at the Park.


Next we're going to have to work on the grass!  There isn't much topsoil in this area, only clay, because of the excavating that was done when the house was removed.  But we can only do so much so the grass may have to wait till fall.
