Time Is A Test!

Once upon a time long ago, there was a great king. His kingdom was so vast as it spread over many lands and seas.  This king had seen the hand of the great God that He was the Creator of all.

He was given many dreams to warn and instruct him from this great God. He even saw His great arm do many signs and wonders…..Yet…..

He was sent a dream one night…. He called his wisemen, one of which, knew and worshipped this great God, to interpret the dream.

This young man was told the dream and gave the king the interpretation.

This dream was a warning to be humble and to know that God rules in the affairs of mankind.

There had been watchers sent to him to measure his heart and his actions…..The warning revealed he would be humbled unless he gave glory to the God that holds the breath in His hands.

Well, he heeded the dream but as time went on… Well, exactly twelve months later, the king walked through his great palace and said look at all I have built by my power and my own majesty….

BOOM!

This king lost it all in a second……!!!

His pride was brought down in less than a heartbeat because the king gave no glory to this great God.

The king after a time, learned that the Most High rules in all affairs and nations of all mankind.

He gave this God all glory for He alone puts down those who walk in pride.

This grateful king was restored to his kingdom once he finally learned to give God alone the glory for all things.

In the time that goes before us…..The horizon will be filled with mountains which were thunderous storm clouds beyond the sea as Littlestone viewed in a dream.

There were mountains to the west, but there are no mountains on the horizon of the Atlantic in the current geography. However, Littlestone saw these big luminous mountains of dark clouds rising on this sea. The clouds were from one end as far as he could see to the other end covering the horizon with dark luminous clouds which resembled mountains. They were growing taller and billowing as they increased.

But laid out before these mountains, were children dressed in their best bright spring clothes running here and there. They were apparently searching to collect Easter Eggs on the big beautiful green lawn. The sun was shining and who would think what was on the horizion.

He knew then that these dark storm clouds were coming for a later time – a spring time.

Littlestone knew to ask Holy Spirit in understanding of all things, since He is the One who shows us all things which are to come as written in 1 John.

Littlestone knew to start interceding for the leaders of our country to know what may be in the planning of today for tomorrow.   Not all things are known up front, but Holy Spirit will always show us what is to come, if we have ears to hear….What is being planned in the dark will be made manifest in the light.

Father, we turn our hearts to Your will to be done and mercy be shown and hearts to be open for You to gather.

Our days of time we spend on this earth is a test.

Yup, he thought as he was riding his horse, Aalyiah.  He has seen and watched His King watching His people, in fact, all people.

Be still and know I am God. I will be exalted by all nations, Littlestone heard.

He roams the earth searching for a one who is looking for Him so He may show Himself strong on their behalf.

He looked up and said…. Lord, I love You because You are so great and so close. Thank You.

Littlestone also thought, how He loves to measure…..

Measuring the Christ in us…… How much are we being in Him? He thought further, how much do we live the Word? How much we know Him, the Word of God…. How much we know His hand here and there in our daily lives….. How much we say thank You and we know it was You and we praise and worship so great a God. In Whom, calls us His children.

He thought of the river flowing from the throne of God in the book of Ezekiel.

He saw how Ezekiel was brought through the river up to his ankles.  The measurement was taken then, Ezekiel was brought through to the next level, then measured…

Each level, he was brought through and not of his own strength.

We go from faith to faith and strength to strength and glory to glory by His might, His strength and His will and our obedience…until we are the image of Christ Jesus.  He is the head and we are His body…. We shall look like Him…..

Your will be done, My King, in my heart and my walk.

His strength will show through our test.  He sees if we have His word as iron in our heart and soul.

If we stand the trials and tests of this world…and gain Christ alone.

Yes, this is our test….. Not if we fail does He care, because that is a given, but He will not fail…. He wants us to know we can endure and persevere by Him, for Him and in Him alone.

Yes, Christ will be all and in all at the end of time.

Yes, Christ will be our all and our all in Him at the end of time.

By Him. For Him.  All of Him and all in Him.

Littlestone kept riding on Aaliyah and contemplating on the One who has all his breaths in His hand.

 

SELAH!

 

 

Meditation of Him, the Great King and about His bride’ preparation for His return.

Are You Ready?

SELAH!

 

 

 

 

 

Walk Before Me And Be Perfect……

Chill out, perfect in His eyes is complete in Him…. We are complete in Him…..Leaning on Him for all things and nothing in  our selves.

So let’s move on to what He has spoken:

As written in Genesis 17:2: When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty[a]; walk before me faithfully and be blameless.

“So that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation, then you will shine among them like stars in the sky.” – Philippians 2:15.

May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:23.

So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him.” – 2 Peter 3:14.

 His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 

Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.

For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. 

 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.

Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble,  

and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, ( 2 Peter 1:3-11).

The sign of the times as written for us to discern is quite before us.

The actual time is now.

What was before will be again and we should understand where we stand.

What do you hear from Him who is above and within you?

What do you discern from spending time with the One who is above and is within you?

Is your discernment from the narrative from the media or is it from the One who wrote the Script?

How will you know what is written if you never devour the Word of God?  How may He abide in you and you in Him if there is no Word deposited?…. Did He not say……in John 15:1-8:?

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 

He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes[a] so that it will be even more fruitful. 

You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 

 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 

 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 

If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 

This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.

No matter what is translating in the world, our gaze shall be always to above, where we sit with Him in the heavenlies.

Do not turn to the right or the left but keep our gaze towards the One who holds all things and knows all things and is the Result of all things.

Keep our eye on the prize of the call of God found in Christ Jesus….

This brings me back to

Genesis 17- Walk be fore Me and be blameless.

He has given us the command and His Spirit within to accomplish this command.

We have been made complete in Him as scriptures states in Colossians chapter 2:6-15:

Therefore, just as you have received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him, established in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, which are based on human tradition and the spiritual forces of the world rather than on Christ. 

 For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity dwells in bodily form. 

 And you have been made complete in Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority. In Him you were also circumcised, in the putting off of your sinful nature, with the circumcision performed by Christ and not by human hands. 

And having been buried with Him in baptism, you were raised with Him through your faith in the power of God, who raised Him from the dead.

When you were dead in your trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our trespasses, 

 having canceled the debt ascribed to us in the decrees that stood against us. He took it away, nailing it to the cross! 

 And having disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.

According to the exceedingly great power that works within us, the same power that rose Jesus Christ from the dead is within us…… God has never stopped working whether it is in the world sovereignly or with in His kids as Great and Fantastic Abba Father.

 

We, who are His kids, will never be judged correctly from the world as written.  Our Father and King is our Judge who we will stand before one day, on His DAY.  Let it be that we are found and complete in Him alone.

We have been given all strength and boldness to live a godly life in this crooked generation.

We will also receive persecution for those who intend to live a godly life as written in 2 Timothy.

I personally enjoy the fellowship with My King and Holy Spirit.

God has given us: the capacity to dwell in heavenly places in our King as well as walk to and fro through this earth binding what is of the earth and allowing His kingdom to reign.

This is our walk and discipleship training this day- if you call on His name, Jesus Christ.

If you say you are His, this is our daily call and blessings to be His.

Please let this not be said of our generation who breaths in and out on the earth this day:……My people perish for lack of knowledge.

Devour His Word as if it was our last way to breathe life into our body….. The Truth is His Word is the only Life breath for our souls….

Holy Spirit will confirm His Word within us, but there needs to be His Word found within in us.

If we love Him, we will want to know Him more in  greater measure daily.

He wants to be known by us….

Know Him while you can……Time is not a given….. Eternity is.

We will dwell where we know Him and He knows us.

Or we will dwell away from Him as we are living now…. We will hear :go from Me, as King of all says, I AM has never known you and what house you are from.

This is Truth.

This is written and spoken by Jesus Christ, the Judge of all His Creation.

Do not miss the way to fill the lack of peace in your heart.

Only He can fill the place which He created to live within.

 

 

SELAH!!

 

Beware of ones who love to find fault in the despised ones who go after their King because He has filled every heart need and hurt.  He has loved them to a new dimension and translated them to the kingdom of His love…..They will never leave, they have seen His face and no one will snatch them out of His hand….. At the end of all that is seen, they will be seen sitting at His feet which is the place of all the saints.  It will be shown, how we do not know, but it will be shown how much He loves His saints.

Christ in us is our hope of glory!  May He be found in you before He meets you…..

Many a heart ache our King sighs. He searches the pulpits for the Truth of His love that transforms us to His shining stars of love that He loves to place here and there.  He is our every need.  If sin exists, is there a lack of presenting the right frame of our King of glory?

Church going is not the answer…. Point to Him alone and they shall find all they need.

Holy Spirit will take it from there…..Did He not with the apostles?

They were changed or translated to His heavenlies. They then  presented the King of all who is their Savior.

Now is the actual time…..Present the King who is also their Savior.

The only One who has killed, died and risen and is returning with fire in His eyes.

Meet His love through His blood today, before you meet Him in His wrath in fire.

One thing is a given, all, including you, will meet Him……Be wise and be not gathered with the foolish….Meet Him now…

 

SELAH ! SELAH!!

 

Once Upon A Time…..Actually The Time Is Now!

Once upon a time, actually this is the time for what is, was and will be soberly until our King returns.

There was a woman who spent time with her King often. The women near her were seen often looking and peering into her windows to find what was given her from her King.

They hurt her as she had to hide behind heavy things in her windows after a while.

They never tried to see Him for themselves.

In their envy of their green eyes, they made up stories and lies about her.

The lies from their mouths grew bigger and bigger until it formed such a long tale that a huge python was formed.

This snake was formed so her writing of her King’s words would stop.

The gossipmongers unaware what they were creating.  They actually were setting up a scenario for their own family to receive the crushing blow of the python.

They never heard the King’s words of what you sow, you will reap.  If you sow lies or sow Truth, you and your families will reap the rewards, good or evil as written in Galatians.

The King set the rules. He spoke the law as He put the sun in the orbit…… It will always be until time is no more. Treat your neighbor as you want to be treated.

Well, they did not know her King. Even though, the King wanted to know them.

The King heard these lies and thought them to be about Him as He called her as His own.

His blood covered her and His angels always stood and saw all what was happening.

His work was found finished in her.  She gazed at Him for all her breath, life and hope……

He wanted to be as King to these women also, but they did not want to give up their pride and lies.

So time went on. Days turned into months and the years doubled.

The python was hissing on their lies, just coiled up and ready to strike. These women did not know what their lies and fabrications had created.

Again, as this has happened before and will again, the lies were going to affect their families as stated by the King, the unregenerated heart is deceitful.

As the King showed the woman one night the creation which was formed  from the lies as the python was revealed….. The darkness became light as what was spoken against her in the spiritual realm.

The woman saw the python and called it out….. She tried to protect them from the harm coming to them by intercession. The python started to move….. She was taken aback at the great size of this reptile. The width of it was a size of a man.…..The length of it was longer than she had every seen.  It was longer than two cars in tow.

The python was on the move, but it had grown into two dragons that looked as if they were Komondors.  The largest dragon on the earth today…..

The woman with the King saw the dragons heading for the women looking into the windows of the woman’s front porch. They were lined up on the front porch looking in and not seeing what was crawling with its forked tongue coming to devour them.

She was horrified and ran to her porch to awaken them but the women did not budge from the peering into her house…. One of the peering women grabbed the woman saying we caught you!

The woman, struggling to be free, asked of what? Then she pointed with her head and yelled, Look! Look!  See, the dragons are coming……

She saw one dragon climb slowly on to the steps, seeing it’s forked tongue sliding in and out of its mouth. The second dragon following right next and a little behind the first one.   She was appalled at the sight of these creatures. ….. She gulped and screamed again.

None of the women budged or turned to see the danger.

She was released from the woman’s grasp as the gossiper was bitten by the dragon’s poison and devoured.

Sadly, they never saw the dragons nor did they receive the warning to stop and change their ways. They became the dragons’ meal.

After this, Her Guide was awaiting her with a large embrace. She was still shaking from the horrible sight.

Child, she heard, the Truth is hard to swallow for those whose pride turns their ears from hearing. The fallen one has full control and authority of those who pride is their necklace.

Can you pull in Leviathan with a fishhook
or tie down its tongue with a rope?
Can you put a cord through its nose
or pierce its jaw with a hook?
Will it keep begging you for mercy?
Will it speak to you with gentle words?
Will it make an agreement with you
for you to take it as your slave for life?

Can you make a pet of it like a bird
or put it on a leash for the young women in your house?
Will traders barter for it?
Will they divide it up among the merchants?
Can you fill its hide with harpoons
or its head with fishing spears?
If you lay a hand on it,
you will remember the struggle and never do it again!
Any hope of subduing it is false;
the mere sight of it is overpowering.
 No one is fierce enough to rouse it.
Who then is able to stand against me?
Who has a claim against me that I must pay?
Everything under heaven belongs to me.

“I will not fail to speak of Leviathan’s limbs,
its strength and its graceful form.
 Who can strip off its outer coat?
Who can penetrate its double coat of armor[
b]?
 Who dares open the doors of its mouth,
ringed about with fearsome teeth?
 Its back has[
c] rows of shields
tightly sealed together;
 each is so close to the next
that no air can pass between.
They are joined fast to one another;
they cling together and cannot be parted.
 Its snorting throws out flashes of light;
its eyes are like the rays of dawn.
Flames stream from its mouth;
sparks of fire shoot out.

Smoke pours from its nostrils
as from a boiling pot over burning reeds.
 Its breath sets coals ablaze,
and flames dart from its mouth.
 Strength resides in its neck;
dismay goes before it.

The folds of its flesh are tightly joined;
they are firm and immovable.
 Its chest is hard as rock,
hard as a lower millstone.
 When it rises up, the mighty are terrified;
they retreat before its thrashing.

The sword that reaches it has no effect,
nor does the spear or the dart or the javelin.
Iron it treats like straw
and bronze like rotten wood.
Arrows do not make it flee;
slingstones are like chaff to it.
A club seems to it but a piece of straw;
it laughs at the rattling of the lance.
Its undersides are jagged potsherds,
leaving a trail in the mud like a threshing sledge.
It makes the depths churn like a boiling caldron
and stirs up the sea like a pot of ointment.
It leaves a glistening wake behind it;
one would think the deep had white hair.
Nothing on earth is its equal—
a creature without fear.
 it looks down on all that are haughty;


it is king over all that are proud. As written in Job 41.

 

Why do you boast of evil, you mighty hero?
Why do you boast all day long,
you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God?
You who practice deceit,
your tongue plots destruction;
it is like a sharpened razor.
You love evil rather than good,
falsehood rather than speaking the truth.[
c]
You love every harmful word,
you deceitful tongue!

 Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin:
He will snatch you up and pluck you from your tent;
he will uproot you from the land of the living.
The righteous will see and fear;
they will laugh at you, saying:

“Here now is the man
who did not make God his stronghold
but trusted in his great wealth
and grew strong by destroying others!”

 But I am like an olive tree
flourishing in the house of God;
I trust in God’s unfailing love
for ever and ever.
For what you have done I will always praise you
in the presence of your faithful people.
And I will hope in your name,
for your name is good, Psalm 52.

Proverbs 9:10 states: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

Ezekiel 17: 22, speaks of the greatness of God’s plan of redemption from the sinful heart of mankind through His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ.

‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself will take a shoot from the very top of a cedar and plant it; I will break off a tender sprig from its topmost shoots and plant it on a high and lofty mountain. On the mountain heights of Israel, I will plant it; it will produce branches and bear fruit and become a splendid cedar. Birds of every kind will nest in it; they will find shelter in the shade of its branches. 

 All the trees of the forest will know that I the Lord bring down the tall tree and make the low tree grow tall. I dry up the green tree and make the dry tree flourish.

“‘I the Lord have spoken, and I will do it.’”

And He has done it. Praise Him forever!

We have choices everyday to make- Choose Him, the Lord Jesus and live unto righteousness or we can do what is from our nature with out Christ…… The pathway is wide to destruction for the devil loves to kill, steal and destroy. God will not be mocked what ever a man sows, he shall reap.

Sow into the Spirit and reap life or so into our fleshly nature and reap death.

“Therefore, you Israelites, I will judge each of you according to your own ways, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent! Turn away from all your offenses; then sin will not be your downfall, as written Ezekiel 18:30.

 What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs, as written in Matthew 10:27.

As the woman wrote what she was shown in the dark as it was revealed, her heart prays and lifts up all to turn from their wicked ways and turn to the One who will wash them with His blood and hold them close so no dragon can take them from His grasp.  Do not miss His great love for us…..There is no comparison…..He is beyond comparison. His beauty and majesty is breathtaking as well as such a Great One hears our sighs and embraces us in His overwhelming mercy and grace.

He is our refuge and a stronghold in a present place of help today.

As she closes her notes, she remembers His Word:

Hebrew 4:6 states:

Therefore since it still remains for some to enter that rest, and since those who formerly had the good news proclaimed to them did not go in because of their disobedience,  God again set a certain day, calling it “Today.” This he did when a long time later he spoke through David, as in the passage already quoted:

“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts.”

SELAH!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How Do We Make An Agreement With Alligators?

Can one make an agreement with an alligator?  Or what about Leviathan? When he speaks, his words are deceitful as long as his tail or should we see a very big tale?

Can one shake hands with a snake and stand in agreement?  From where does his integrity come?  The forked tongue should be an awareness to all.

Can one be in any kind of fellowship of honor and truth if they are unbelievers in standing with believers?

The truth and wisdom found in our King’s Word, as He is the Word of God….. He shall be the Guide for all wise men and stewards of His purpose.

Characters of animals are depicted in the King’s word for us to understand who and what type of the two legged are purposed.

Holy Spirit speaks with in us who dwell in Him who is above all. He leads us unto all truth and peace.  He guides us in His peace to give us eyes to see the new creation who is before us or the old creation with the nature of beasts….. Natural and carnal are in enmity with our God, shall we forget the Truth to compromise peace?

Ahaa….. Peace is the illusion for compromise never brings true peace…… Not unlike the alligator…… He says he comes bearing peace as he opens his strong mouth showing all his ivory nails that long to bite the stand of our place in pieces.

The need to dwell in heavenly places is to see the things as He, our King, sees…. Then all truth and equity of peace and understanding will be our foundation…..

Peace with compromise is never peace. It is defeat for truth and victory for hidden agendas of destruction.

The alligator or leviathan always will be a destroyer and stealer of peace. Only One came to give peace but not of this earth.

Beware of making agreements with snakes and raccoons and leviathan….Satan comes with one agenda- to steal, kill and destroy.  Raccoons, leviathan, alligators and snakes,……bears, lions and goats….. Understand the Word of God, come up higher to see as He who dwells in you sees.

Our new creation abiding in our King in heavenly places keeps our understanding in true bright light….. We may be living in a place of protection in darkness but His light always proves His Truth. He is Truth…. And when we abide in Him, we are in His Light, no matter what man does….

No one will snatch us out of His hand.

Job 26:

Then Job replied:

“How you have helped the powerless!
How you have saved the arm that is feeble!
What advice you have offered to one without wisdom!
And what great insight you have displayed!
Who has helped you utter these words?
And whose spirit spoke from your mouth?

 “The dead are in deep anguish,
those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
The realm of the dead is naked before God;
Destruction lies uncovered.
 He spreads out the northern skies over empty space;
he suspends the earth over nothing.
He wraps up the waters in his clouds,
yet the clouds do not burst under their weight.
He covers the face of the full moon,
spreading his clouds over it.
 He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters
for a boundary between light and darkness. 

The pillars of the heavens quake,
aghast at his rebuke.
 By his power he churned up the sea;
by his wisdom he cut Rahab to pieces.
 By his breath the skies became fair;
his hand pierced the gliding serpent.
 And these are but the outer fringe of his works;
how faint the whisper we hear of him!
Who then can understand the thunder of his power?”

So may we take Him at His Word.   Hear Him now and receive His call:

 

Come up here so I may show your many and great things.

Are we too busy to be important before man and not be hidden in Him and see the unseen as real as we see each other before us now.

The opportunity stands. Do not regret your minute now.

Seek His face above all. Seek His face.

He is to be honored today and tonight and tomorrow.

Prayer with Him in His secret place is honored by Him.

No one will see but the One who I am speaking with……Is He the Reason I come to Him?

Is not He the One who will make the ways we need?

Even in pj’s, He is waiting.

Hidden in Him in the secret place of our Heavenly Father is where His delight is shown over us.

Is not that our biggest desire? To be known by Him and His greatest desire is to be known by us.

Audience before One is where we should choose to stand…. Day and night and night and day.

24/7, He is there.

You ask where?  Does He not dwell with in you, child….?

If not, you shall be disqualified as written in 2 Corinthians.

The wicked ways will fall away and the healing of the land will be if we just seek Him as our Audience and not man. When all that matters is hearing His voice. Receiving His directions are known and obedience is our key to complete victory.   This is all and it is great, the path He has called to us to follow as of late.

Turn in our pomp and come to him in your pj’s alone and as His child. Bring His Word and He will make those Words of His alive before you and in you…. The exceedingly great power of God that works in you…… The Word of His power is still keeping the earth in the position He put it long ago.

You and me and the nations are not too big for Him….. They are in His will and all things He does is for His glory alone….. If we bow for His fame and name and glory, there will be the victory that is grand to apprehend…… All shall see and stand for His glory whether by us bowing now or bowing later…..Faith leads to one and fear to another.

All shall bow before the King of all.

 

Allow His Word place in us this day of His honor in prayer.

Amen and so be it, Father God.

We love You and thank You for all You have and are doing and will forever do.

Praise You, Father. Praise You, Holy Son. Praise You, Holy Spirit, our Friend.

Most of all, thank You for calling us to be Yours. Thank You, Jesus, our King, for making this Truth. We are Yours now and forever to Your grace and glory we forever grateful.

Almighty God, we forever exalt You!

SELAH!

All you hear turn from your wicked ways and turn to see the One who calls you to Him.

Nothing that is done will be left undone but will it’s reward come forth;

Shall we not behold the One who has fire in is eyes?

Praise Him! All the earth praise Him!

Celebrate Resurrection Day….. not just Sunday; but everyday we rise with Him as He has risen!

SELAH!

Where Do You Dwell?

Littlestone was very busy as the spring winds blew the gusty gales of winter away.

He helped muck out all the stalls down to the core.  Spring cleaning for the horse’ houses, he thought.

He kept in prayer to his King as changes of His hand were coming and going like the horses in Zechariah going to and fro roaming the earth.

He kept his ear to His King and his mouth quiet.

He was shown great and mighty things that he did not quite understand but held them close to his heart.

When Uri asked him what was going on….. All he could answer was Psalm 91.

Pray and say it over yourself and family and military and law enforcement and leaders and believers.

Pray for the unbelievers to turn today and see the voice that summons them and believe to come to the cross.

Pray that the leaders and their counsel that receive dreams of wisdom and warning heed them in the fear of the Lord.

She was wide eyed as to what seriousness his response was to her.

She turned with muck rake in her hand and started to pray as she shoveled out the stall of her Prince.

Uri started to sing the song of 91 to her King for those who Littlestone told to her pray over.

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”

Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

 If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.

For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;

 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

 

 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

“Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
 With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”

As she was singing this song to her King…. She noticed these promises are for those alone who dwell in the secret place of the Most High….  The Secret Place has been made known, she smiled…..

I abide in You, My King, as Your Word abides in me.  Thank You Lord for all Your grace and Your Spirit who dwells in me….He reminds me of all You tell me in secret that grows strong in my heart.

 

Thank You Lord!

Selah!

His Test Is Not A Multiple Choice

You are an awesome God, thought Littlestone.

Faithful in the little things, he will be faithful in the big things.

There is no choice c with our God. We have two choices, choose life or death. Obey or disobey and receive the consequences of our actions.  Be humble and submit or be prideful and exalt self and fall later…… There is no choice c……. No multiple choice with God.

There is His way or the highway of destruction of death way.

Jesus Christ is the only way to everlasting Life…..

Admission of His reign in life and admission of our sinful nature and repentance…. That alone will open the Door to Everlasting Life with our God. Then we learn how to walk after Him as His disiples.

You have seated us in heavenly places so we may always keep our eyes on You, our Prize.

The word overcomer only came in to the word of God, he thought, when Jesus overcame the world. Then again in the  Book of Revelation of Jesus Christ, the last book of the bible. The other two overcomers Littlestone thought of were Caleb and Joshua who were known by God by having a difference spirit then the others in the wilderness.  These two who saw the giants in the promised land, not as threats as the others, but as their bread because God was before them- making their way.

Jesus Christ saw also His enemies as dust because His Father was making a way for Him and for us. His obedience to His Father was preeminent over any threat of the enemies.

His love never fails.

There is great destruction and falling away from His Testimony when our eyes are on the lateral instead of the vertical.

Holy Spirit reveals unto each one of us of Himself in how important it is to overcome the world as He did…… as written 1 John 1-12:

Everyone who believes [with a deep, abiding trust in the fact] that Jesus is the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed) is born of God [that is, reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, and set apart for His purpose], and everyone who loves the Father also loves the child born of Him. 

 By this we know [without any doubt] that we love the children of God: [expressing that love] when we love God and obey His commandments. 

For the [true] love of God is this: that we habitually keep His commandments and remain focused on His precepts. And His commandments and His precepts are not difficult [to obey]. 

For [b]everyone born of God is victorious and overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has conquered and overcome the world—our [continuing, persistent] faith [in Jesus the Son of God].

Who is the one who is victorious and overcomes the world? It is the one who believes and recognizes the fact that Jesus is the Son of God. 

 This is He who came through water and blood [His baptism and death], Jesus Christ—not by the water only, but by the water and the blood. It is the [Holy] Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. [He is the essence and origin of truth itself.] 

 For there are three witnesses: 

the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three are in agreement [their testimony is perfectly consistent]. 

If we accept [as we do] the testimony of men [that is, if we are willing to take the sworn statements of fallible humans as evidence], the testimony of God is greater [far more authoritative]; for this is the testimony of God, that He has testified regarding His Son.

The one who believes in the Son of God [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies confidently on Him as Savior] has the testimony within himself [because he can speak authoritatively about Christ from his own personal experience].

The one who does not believe God [in this way] has made Him [out to be] a liar, because he has not believed in the evidence that God has given regarding His Son. 

 And the testimony is this: God has given us eternal life [we already possess it], and this life is in His Son [resulting in our spiritual completeness, and eternal companionship with Him]. 

 He who has the Son [by accepting Him as Lord and Savior] has the life [that is eternal]; he who does not have the Son of God [by personal faith] does not have the life.

Littlestone was meditating. As usual, his meditating turns into asking tons of questions as is his way with His King….. He does not want to leave anything unknown about the heart intentions of His King. His King always points to a horizon that is endless as He.

If the way of life is to be kept. Then the only way is to cherish the King of Life.

In making a note that the last stone that was used in the wall that surrounded Jerusalem was amethyst, which is symbolic of sobriety as written in Revelation 21…..

Stay awake from all that is trying to dull or put us asleep.

Prevent intoxication.

Be sober. Awaken from slumber.  Prevent intoxication from the worlds’ temptation.

Remain steadfast to our King. Keep our eyes on things above, mainly our King.

1Peter 1:13:  Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming.

1 Peter 5:8:  Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

1 Peter 4:7: The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray.

1 Thessalonians 5:6:  So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober.

Ephesians 6:18:  And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

Colossians 3: 1-11: Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 

 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 

For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 

When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. 

Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.

You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. 

But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.

Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.

 Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.

In Littlestone’s investigation on why the mention of overcomer in every letter in His King’s Book—- The book known revealing of Him to all: He found so many scriptures to remind us of the narrow road…..

Keep our eyes raised toward Christ….. Not as Peter who as he walked on the water, saw the storm and winds blowing, and sunk…We walk every day on the water by His Word and His grace of strength…. We overcome daily by our faith.

Overcomers, stand and keep our eyes fixed knowing we have been hidden in God by Christ Jesus.

He did notice the last church that Holy Spirit brought up were quite filled with themselves and their status and riches…..

Littlestone turned to scripture, Revelation 3:14-22:

“To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:

These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. 

I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 

So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 

You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ 

But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. 

I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.

Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. 

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

 To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne. 

Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”

Holy Spirit was leading him on a journey.  He heard big is just big but great is from above.

The last stone was amethyst in the wall written in Revelation 21, *( which is shown below).

He has given us His Spirit to live a godly life as written in Peter.

He has overcome the world and so do we by our faith in His victory.

By our faith we keep our eyes on things above because we are seated in heavenly places.

We are in class learning all we can about His life within us and apprehending Him as He has apprehended us.

The wheat and the tares are coming to head for harvest. The winds are blowing

Littlestone was concerned and praying for His body to really take heed of the warning he was seeing in the scriptures…

There is so much to be hopeful when He appears….. We do not know when, but it may be sooner then later as we all think,,,,

But, even so, we must be His bride prepared for His return.

We must not be as the five virgins who were not ready and did not have their lamps filled as written Matthew 25.

Holy Spirit is our lamp in us for His eyes to see, test and qualify…….

What house are we from?

If we are the last stone, this generation on the earth, of the wall of Jerusalem, we must be a true gem of amethyst.

Sober and diligent in His kingdom and be pliable so to be added into the mosaic of His wall, His kingdom.

Philippians 3:7-11:

 But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 

What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things.

I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—

the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. 

 I want to know Christ—

yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.

Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 

 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it.

But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 

 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Revelation 21:9-21:

One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” 

 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. 

It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. 

 It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates.

On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. 

There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west. 

 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city, its gates and its walls. 

The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia in length, and as wide and high as it is long. 

The angel measured the wall using human measurement, and it was 144 cubits thick.

 The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass. 

 The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone.

 The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald,  the fifth onyx, the sixth ruby, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth turquoise, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.

 The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of gold, as pure as transparent glass.

The wall surrounding the temple made from Solomon’s charge was made from the gentiles – stones that were not handled by man, precious stones, ( us)!…….- Just a note fyi as Littlestone jotted down.

Revelation 22:1-5:

Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city.

On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month.

 And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. 

No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. 

They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 

There will be no more night. 

They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. 

And they will reign for ever and ever.

Revelation 22:12-15:

“Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. 

I  am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

“Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. 

 Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

In our heavenly Fathers eyes, the small before Him are great.  The large and proud are as rubble before Him thought Littlestone.

As it is written, Be still and know I am God, I will be exalted before the nations, ( Psalm 49).

Remember Joshua 14:6-15:

Now the people of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal, and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know what the Lord said to Moses the man of God at Kadesh Barnea about you and me. 

 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh Barnea to explore the land. 

And I brought him back a report according to my convictions, 

 but my fellow Israelites who went up with me made the hearts of the people melt in fear.

 I, however, followed the Lord my God wholeheartedly. 

So on that day Moses swore to me, ‘The land on which your feet have walked will be your inheritance and that of your children forever, because you have followed the Lord my God wholeheartedly.’

 “Now then, just as the Lord promised, he has kept me alive for forty-five years since the time he said this to Moses, while Israel moved about in the wilderness.

So here I am today, eighty-five years old! 

 I am still as strong today as the day Moses sent me out; I’m just as vigorous to go out to battle now as I was then. 

 Now give me this hill country that the Lord promised me that day. 

You yourself heard then that the Anakites were there and their cities were large and fortified, but, the Lord helping me, I will drive them out just as he said.”

Then Joshua blessed Caleb son of Jephunneh and gave him Hebron as his inheritance. 

So Hebron has belonged to Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite ever since, because he followed the Lord, the God of Israel, wholeheartedly. 

(Hebron used to be called Kiriath Arba after Arba, who was the greatest man among the Anakites.) 

(GIANTS)!  Littlestone remembered that Hebron means fellowship…..When we have a heart totally after our God and Lord, we have His friendship as well as fellowship.

He silently thought to himself, I choose Life and His life. No matter what comes, the power of His Word, Christ in me, is within. His strength in grace are sufficient. …..

Father God, may all those who have a heart after you walk on the narrow road which we have life, Life abundantly in Your Son by the power of Your Spirit and the word of Your power, Christ in us, who works mightily in us according to the power in which You raised Christ from the dead.

Amen and so be it now and forever for all those who are overcomers as we walk in the way of Your Son and His cross as written in Philippians 3:  I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,  and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.

SELAH!!

May all those who have ears to hear and a heart to understand, know the times we are in today.

But rejoice, our God is the same today and tomorrow.  His love never fails.

SELAH! SELAH!!
