Encouragement to Other Believers!

 “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:11

Are you going through a trial?  Do you know someone that is?   

Are friends and or family encouraging you, praying for you and helping you walk through it?   Are you feeling loved and cared for? 

Are you encouraging them, praying for them and helping them walk through their trial?  Are you supporting them in whatever way they may have need? Do they feel loved and supported by you?  

The Bible tells us to encourage one another and build each other up.  It's not an optional thing, it's a command for us as believers to help others! 

“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way, you will fulfill the law of Christ.” – Galatians 6:2 

I am thankful for the handful that are standing with us in this very narrow faith journey.  I am thankful for the ones who reach out and are praying in agreement with what we feel the Lord is asking of us.  I am thankful for the ones that remind us of who God is and help get our focus off our circumstances.   I am thankful for the Word of God that helps us to encourage ourselves in the Lord.  Faith comes by hearing the Word of God.  Isaiah 55.     We are 21 days to MOVE and nowhere to go YET!!!   We are contending for HIS open door!!  Trusting Him for the outcome!  

If you look around MANY, and I mean lots of God's children are going through something difficult.  Different circumstances, but trying nonetheless.   There are some at the end of their rope.   A person I pray for recently confessed attempted suicide and now is in a mental hospital trying to get help.    Those thoughts run rampant amongst believers and most of their friends and family don't even know.   Some are at their breaking point.   

I can tell you one thing there are many of Job's friends in the Church.  Maybe well intentioned, but harmful to a person's faith.    

Here are just a few things people have said to us:   

"If God doesn't show up you can live in your car.  I know several who have had to do that".   (now that's encouraging!)

 "What are you going to do?  Maybe you should just move away"   (God moved us here, why would we leave) 

"Maybe you don't have enough faith"   (only need faith the size of a mustard seed-oh and the Bible says HE gives us all a measure of faith, I'm pretty sure that's enough!)

"Maybe God wants you to downsize your vision"  (It's His vision -not ours) 

"You can rent a 1 bedroom 1 bath apartment"  (if we felt God asking us to downsize again, we would.) 

"Been there done that".  (is that compassionate?)

Yep, it's painful. It's hard to walk in faith.  It's hard to go against the grain.  It's hard to be less than a status quo Christian.  It's hard when others want to give their 2 cents worth but would never ever trust God at this level.  

What can we do?  We can be a true follower of Christ.  That means, love support and kindness.  It means being generous with our time, talent, treasure and touch.   Reaching out to someone in need is our privilege and honor as a Christian.    Being a border bully or one of Job's friend is not what God asks of us.   Let's be one that lifts another person out of the pit they might be in.  Let's be the one that strengthens and encourages.  

So, let's ask ourselves this question?  Are we a friend of Job's?? Or are we a disciple and follower of Christ who loves others well!   

Let's dig into the Word and become more CHRIST LIKE!     

Let me know how I can pray for you! 

Hugs, love and prayers.

Vision

God has given us a vision to build a retreat property along with ministry equipping center.  

The retreat portion of our ministry is to provide a safe place for pastors, lay leaders & other ministry folks to come and be refreshed & encouraged through prophetic ministry (if wanted).  We will offer private cabins with kitchens & full bathrooms, and plenty of places to roam on the property to get quiet with the Lord. 

We will offer other specialty retreats - marriage, healing, prophetic teaching & activating people into the world & health and wellness retreats and more.  

The Lord has graced us with the desire to come alongside the Church - to bring healing, deliverance & freedom to new/newer believers.  We are not wanting to replace their church, but better help them be ready to serve in their church. 

In our community building - we will eventually have a 24/7 prayer room, healing & prophetic rooms and a place for community worship services for those on the property.  

Our passion is to minister to a lost & hurting world.   To equip the saints to do the same and to be a blessing to our community and surrounding areas.  Our hopes are that we can pour out God's love in a mighty way to bring more and more souls into the Kingdom, get them discipled, called into their purpose & destiny and released to do God's business!!!!  We also have a passion to give generously to help those in need and to help others launch into their God given destinies.   

   

 

         

 

          

 

 

 

 

Waiting On The Lord Is Like A Ping Pong Game!

Psalm 27:13-14

I would have despaired had I not believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for and confidently expect the Lord; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes wait for and confidently expect the Lord.  

TheBibleSays.com say this about these verses:  David acknowledges that left on his own he would not have been able to find and embrace the hope needed to carry on.  Rather, he would have despaired, a phrase rendered in English that is contextually understood from the negatively inclined Hebrew conjunction ("lule") meaning "unless" or "had it not been." The complete loss of hope, a full surrender to being overwhelmed by negative and opposing forces would likely have been David's fate EXCEPT that he had believed(Hebrew, "aman"). That belief, a wholehearted and active engagement with the Lord, unlocks all the possibilities and remedies made available by God to the believing soul,

Have you ever waited on God and despaired?  Felt a complete loss of hope?  Being overwhelmed with a full onslaught of negative and opposing forces?  You too?   

As you know, if you've read any of my previous blogs, we are in a transition of housing.  We've been here before.  We moved from KC to MO not knowing where until the night before.  We moved from a home in MO to another in MO with only a day knowing where.  We moved from a place in MT to this one with 12 days to spare (whew).  And this time we've had almost 3 full months to move and yet there is NOTHING available that meets our needs.  Either way too small for more money, too many stairs or way out of our budget.  Most are out of our budget.   We are down to 24 days to MOVING day.   Fortunately our landlord has said we could stay through 8/3 if needed so we may change moving day until 8/2.     We are still contending and believing for the open door into our destiny property, our forever home as the Lord has said.  We are asking for God to open only the door He has for us and keep all others shut (which the latter He is doing quite well).   

When you or I wait on God, in my experience, it seems to be a  pretty regular occurrence.  How about yours?  Why do you think God keeps us waiting and always showing up in the 11th hour?  For me, it's been a process to increase my faith in Him.  It's been a process of growing in deeper dependence on Him.  It's a process of greater preparation for what's next.  So why does it feel like my mind and thoughts are in the middle of a ping pong game.  

One minute strong in faith and believing for the impossible and the next doubt and fear and with cloudy vision that it won't happen.  

One minute it's knowing HE won't fail us and the next is overwhelming concern.  

One minute it's excitement and anticipating and the next hopelessness and depression. 

One minutes it's peace and comfort and the next it's frantic & overly stressful.  

One minute trusting all the Rhema words spoken by the Lord or others for you and the other wondering if any of it was true?  

One minute confidently expecting and the other utter despair.  

Are you feeling the ping pong game?  Just writing that, all the emotions I've been experiencing over the last few months came back in intensity.  The tears start flowing.  The fear creeps in.  And yet..... I place my trust in the only One who can open the doors for us.  Even if that's another rental or if it's Destiny Doors we've been trained and persevered for such a long time.  

I don't remember having these same up and down feelings the last several times we've had to trust God for our next home.  I sense that there are several factors this time.  

1.  Just maybe the warfare around destiny is greater because it's close.    We had a friend reach out and say that she was praying what the Lord showed her "people" who have been praying against our destiny. Ouch!   And we've experienced a little of this first hand because they don't have the same faith as God has given us.  That's ok.  This is our walk- not theirs.   If they can't pray in agreement with what we feel the Lord is saying, then really we don't want those prayers.   Ouch!    

2.  Maybe God is working in someone to bring forth the promise of destiny - and yet...   Someone once taught us that God uses others to bring forth His plans and will in others.  When we aren't responding to His promptings and are not willing then sadly others miss out on the blessings.  Others don't get their healing or  destiny.   God will bring it back around to another person or persons, but that often takes time.   I wonder how many of us have missed a blessing?  I wonder how many missed theirs because of our own disobedience?  

3.  A lot has changed in the world over the past few years.   Cost of living has gone up big time here in Montana.   A starter home here - 2 bedroom 1 bath is 300k or more.  The house we currently live in sold for 457k.   Our home in KC sold for that much and was 3 x the size and with 2 acres of land and a pool.  Rentals here are $2000 for a 2 bedroom 1 bath place with around 800 sq ft.   We currently reside in 1500 sq ft  3 bedrooms, 2 bath with 2 car garage and a detached building for $1750.  I never imagined I'd pay that much for rent.  And this is the high end of our budget.    And we are really tired of renting - the instability.  I do not like moving all the time!!!  I'm ready for my forever home! 

4.  And, recently I was diagnosed (again) with Hp Axis Adrenal Dysfunction which means that my ability to cope with anything stressful is limited.  My hypothalamus and pituitary glands are not up to par and communicating well.   Chronic Stress and Chronic Pain are the two biggies that cause this.  If you've know me for any period of time, you'll know chronic pain has been the past 40+ years.  And the last several years it's taken a huge toll on me and now the lab work shows that for sure!    I am trusting God to heal me as He has promised.  That is also part of the stress.  The same ping pong match on my health.   He made me a promise in 2002 that He would completely heal me.   And yet.........

How do you encourage yourself in the Lord?  How do you stay strong in the middle of trials and waiting?  How do you know you're hearing clearly from the Lord?

IT'S TIME!   There is such a need for what God has called us too.  Many are feeling it's time.  We come in agreement with what the Spirit is speaking!  IT'S TIME!  

Yesterday I was in my quiet time, and the Lord spoke to me some very specific things about what's next.  And I kind of rolled my eyes like am I really hearing you?   And He said He'd confirm this word.  Within an hour a friend of mine sent a prophetic word written by someone else and I'm not kidding you much of it was verbatim what the Lord spoke to me.   And then another person sent me a direct prophetic word that confirmed it again.   I just read in John 8 about 2 witnesses.  So that helps for the "moment" not to second guess it.     

One thing I like to do is worship even if it feels hard.  One song I love is this one - https://youtu.be/-RvyLVpsZdc?si=GpqeHSUFe6U8E-rs   On Time God.  

God is never early - never late - but always right on time.   I don't know what that really means.  Do you? He won't fail us.  He will provide.  He will meet our every need.  He has a perfect place for us.  His word won't return void.    He is faithful and trustworthy!   He will do it!  And even if he doesn't, we will still trust Him.  He's a good good Father.   

Two promises I'm clinging to- both the Lord spoke to me when we were in MO.

Isaiah 32:18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places 

Isaiah 65:9 I will bring forth descendants from Jacob, and from Judah those who will possess my mountains; my chosen people will inherit them, and there will my servants live

We are ready!  

Please pray for my healing - especially from this new diagnosis.  I'm not sleeping much.  I'm jumpy, no energy, no mental motivation.  It's not fun!!  Please pray for Ken as he tweaked his back and that has been difficult for him especially with his work up and down ladders.   Please pray for THE LORD TO OPEN ONLY THE DOOR HE HAS FOR US!  That covers it all!      Thank you.

Let me know how I can pray for you! 

Hugs, love and prayers.

How Do You Get the Wall Before You to Fall?

Joshua v 20 When the trumpets sounded, the army shouted, and at the sound of the trumpet, when the men gave a loud shout, the wall collapsed; so everyone charged straight in, and they took the city. 21 They devoted the city to the Lord  

Is there a mountain in your life you need moved? Is there a wall that needs to come down? A stronghold broken? Healing? Financial breakthrough?

This past Sunday, our pastor talked about Jericho Walls and the key to them coming down. It really struck me in several ways. I'll come back to that.

Ever since Ken and I got saved, the Lord has had us on a tremendous journey and increasing our faith through it. We sold our home in Kansas City in 2014 and moved to El Dorado Springs, MO because of His still small whisper and a water jug that a guest at our house brought with them. That was our confirmation. We did have several other "clues" that pointed us there. Some thought us foolish and it was definitely a stretching of faith. The time in Missouri gave us wisdom and knowledge about living off the grid, being in the country and learning about being self-sustaining. The night before moving day, our movers called and asked where they were taking our stuff, but we didn't know until after that call and let them know in the morning. There was grace for that. But not something I'd recommend.

There have been other times with moving that have been just as much a faith journey- see previous blog. And here we are again with the landlord selling the home and having to be out by 8/1. Just over 5 years ago, the Lord moved us from Missouri to Montana to fulfill the destiny He has for us. We are ready. He says we are ready. It's been a long long long journey of growing in Him. We've learned to be content with very little and we have learned greater humility and we have grown in faith more than I cared for (my fault - I prayed for world overcoming faith when I got saved).

We are less than 60 days out from needing to move. We have no idea where we are going (yet). God does....but unfortunately for us, He has not revealed it.

I have to say, we are weary. We are not wanting a last minute move and yet the days are ticking by. We want to KNOW where we are going and soon. We have faith and confidence that GOD will show up and HE will provide a place. We know His timing is perfect. But if you've ever had to wait until the last minute to move, you'll know how stressful that can be.  

We are looking at rentals HOWEVER we are contending for the Lord to open the door to DESTINY. That means a sizable acreage property with a home on it and the funds to support the vision and all that it requires. It's a faith walk for sure.  

We are praying for God to open ONLY the door HE has for us and shut all other doors. And the good news HE is shutting or keeping shut all doors for rental properties that possibly could work. Most are way out of our budget or too small or a huge amount of stairs. We do NOT feel we are to downsize everything. We've tried to sell furniture and other large items, but they are not selling. But anything little like a lamp, rug or a portable air conditioner etc is selling fast. So it seems like doors are staying closed for the bigger ticket items.

We have NO backup plan. We have no place we can just stay or store items and stay. We have no family we can stay with. We have GOD and God alone! That's enough!

Everything the Lord has been speaking and confirming through random prophetic words or in our quiet time is STAND and CONTEND for destiny! Contend for my healing! Contend for the breakthrough. And yet everything in the NATURAL is completely opposite!

So back to Jericho Walls! You see our walls. What is the key for us to have the breakthrough into DESTINY?

Here's what my pastor said - "The answer is UNITY!" Unity in prayers, unity in thoughts, words, actions and believing with us! It's true. What prayer would God answer, mine or yours when we are not praying in unity or agreement? The answer is unity for YOU as well.

Here's what I've seen. When you ask someone to pray for you - say for healing of a broken bone. And then they pray but tell you they prayed that the bone would just be comforted, not healed, how would you feel? Is that someone you want praying for you? If you asked someone to pray for your wayward child who is far from the Lord, would you be ok if they prayed for your child to just be happy doing whatever they are doing?? Seems ludicrous. Well, sadly that's often what I see. Maybe not these examples, but just the same, not praying in agreement or unity. It is hard enough to walk in faith. Believe me, we get enough flack from the enemy, why add fellow believers to that difficulty. Instead, let's come alongside someone in their time of need - believing and see what God can and will do in unity.

When someone asks us to pray for them, we come in agreement with what they are asking for (of course biblically based) and we also ask them what the Lord is speaking to them. If that seems sound, then why would we not want to pray in agreement?

Unity is key! Years ago, the Lord spoke those very words to Ken and I. When we are in unity, there is peace. When we pray in unity, answers come. When we are in disunity, God can't bless that. Do you hear what I'm saying? God wants to bless His children, but His children are not in UNITY!!

So.. what Jericho Wall do you have that needs to come down? What can we pray for you for in unity? Please reach out!

WE are asking for prayer in unity of what we feel the Lord is saying.

Open only the DOOR HE has for us and keep all others shut (and that He would reveal that soon). We contend for what we feel He's speaking and we trust Him for the outcome. If that door is another rental, we'll walk through it. But what IF it's the destiny property? What if God wants to do that NOW? Why would we want to settle for an Ishmael?  

 Matthew 9 “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!

Hugs, love and prayers.

In Just a Little While ........

Hebrews 10:37  For,

“In just a little while,
    he who is coming will come
    and will not delay.”

This verse is a promise of the Lord's return.  Hallelujah!  

Recently I asked the Lord a question.  I asked "How much longer must I endure?"  I heard in just a little while.  He said look up the bible verse with those words.  His answer was Hebrews 10:37.

Who do you know that has been persevering in "a" circumstance for a very long time?  It may even be you.  Has one thing after another setback afflicted your life, your family, your health, your finances?   

There’s hope.   The writer in Hebrews says that in just a little while, He who is coming, will come and not delay.   Though this passage is talking about when Jesus returns, I believe we can use this promise to cling to even today.    

As I was studying out that passage, I came across this commentary - 

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

10:32-39 Many and various afflictions united against the early Christians, and they had a great conflict. The Christian spirit is not a selfish spirit; it puts us upon pitying others, visiting them, helping them, and pleading for them.  

Let’s talk about this.  It talks about the early Christians.  They had great conflict and many and various afflictions.  Sound familiar to your life or someone you know?  I’m raising my hand!!!!  

Do we have a part in this?  When another believer is going through the ringer what are “WE” to do?    The commentary says it this way “The Christian spirit is not a selfish spirit; it puts us upon pitying others, visiting them, helping them, and pleading for them.” 

God in His mercy and grace will often put someone on my heart to pray for.  I may or may not know the reason, but it is my part to pray.  It requires immediate obedience!   If the Lord tells me to do something for them, that too requires immediate obedience because anything delayed is really disobedience.  The Lord doesn’t have to use people to help people, BUT He chooses to use us to bring glory to Him.  

Are you listening?  Are you willing to do whatever HE asks of you?  Are you willing to help and plead for them and have pity on them?   We are to help our brothers and sisters in Christ so that they can be encouraged and strengthened in the Lord.  We are to meet their needs whatever God asks!  Sometimes it’s just a simple call or a visit along with prayer.  Sometimes it’s practical and requires effort.   And sometimes it means giving up something we hold dear.  

This past couple of weeks we have been hit hard financially.  Not only did our rent go up significantly this month, Ken found out he has to have emergency dental work - two root canals and crowns… along with much more.  The root canals so far are being estimated around $6400.  Thankfully we have a friend who owns a dental lab and he has offered to cover the cost of the two crowns.  That saves us a little but not as much as we hoped because the local dentist said the "lab" fees weren't that much.   Recently our car has had some “safety” issues.  We just paid $549 to fix one of them and the next one is $1943.  They require $1500 up front to pay for the cost of the part.  And did I mention that our fairly new freezer malfunctioned and we lost ALL our meat and seafood.  Estimated around $1000.  The freezer part will be covered, but they are not covering the food loss.  I am working with the BBB and Corporate Maytag but not holding my breath.  The have been pretty adamant they will not reimburse us!  This had made me sick to my stomach.  I am extra frugal when I shop.  I stock up when sales are on and Ken vacuum seals all of it so it lasts a long time.  This has been stuff we’ve been buying for a year or more.   Thankfully Costco where we purchased it offered us $100 gift card for some of the loss.  

I have to have some medical tests which equate to $300 this week.  I had a scary thing happen as well.  I experienced “kaleidoscope vision” for about 30 minutes and then a major headache to go with it.  If you haven’t experienced this, let me say it is beyond freaky and quite scary.  All I could see was blurry and colors swirling around.   I asked my doctor about it and he said that it could be stress, migraine or stroke.   Well that’s great!!  Let’s add one more thing to my extremely long list of afflictions!!!  I am beyond weary!!!  Pain levels have been over the top with no relief in sight.  Let's just say that this song is one I've been playing on repeat.... https://youtu.be/jc-WPCQs6RI?feature=shared 

The Lord knew how difficult things are so He sent quite a few friends reaching out to me to pray.  They all said something similar - that I have been on their heart and they have been praying almost non-stop for me.   They listened and acted.  Praise God!  If they hadn't, who knows where this would have led.  

I had a friend reach out to me Monday and say that they were sending me $601 because the Lord told them too.  I asked why $601 and they said because that was how much they had saved as a nest egg and it became an idol to them.  Wow!!!   The Lord will bless her obedience and sacrifice!!! 

After suggesting to Ken that he ask if he could work some extra on Saturday's, his   boss asked him to work this weekend a few hours.  Our church asked Ken to do a small painting job for pay.   Every little bit helps! 

The Lord is definitely working through people who are willing to listen and obey His voice.  We are not anywhere close to out of the woods, but we are trusting Jesus for everything.   It’s encouraging to me when someone takes the time to reach out and ask how they can pray…or just offers an encouraging word.   

I am wiling always Lord.  Use me, spend me however You see fit! 

God desires us to be His hands and feet.  Are we willing?   Do we have enough compassion and kindness in us to help those who need to be pulled out of the pit, encouraged and strengthened in the Lord.  If we don’t, well maybe it’s about time we asked for it.  Here’s a good song to listen to - https://youtu.be/-08YZF87OBQ?feature=shared.     God wants us to love others as He loves us!   Every good and perfect gift comes from Him.  Every blessing we have comes from Him!!  Freely you have received, freely give!  

So - if any of this resonates with you and you want or need prayer or have another need, please message me.  It's an honor to come alongside and do what I can to keep you in the race, to hold your arms up when you don't think you can go on.  

Thank you for your continued prayers for us!  We do appreciate it!  Luke 6:38 

Hugs, love and prayers.

Vision

God has given us a vision to build a retreat property along with ministry equipping center.  

The retreat portion of our ministry is to provide a safe place for pastors, lay leaders & other ministry folks to come and be refreshed & encouraged through prophetic ministry (if wanted).  We will offer private cabins with kitchens & full bathrooms, and plenty of places to roam on the property to get quiet with the Lord. 

We will offer other specialty retreats - marriage, healing, prophetic teaching & activating people into the world & health and wellness retreats and more.  

The Lord has graced us with the desire to come alongside the Church - to bring healing, deliverance & freedom to new/newer believers.  We are not wanting to replace their church, but better help them be ready to serve in their church. 

In our community building - we will eventually have a 24/7 prayer room, healing & prophetic rooms and a place for community worship services for those on the property.  

Our passion is to minister to a lost & hurting world.   To equip the saints to do the same and to be a blessing to our community and surrounding areas.  Our hopes are that we can pour out God's love in a mighty way to bring more and more souls into the Kingdom, get them discipled, called into their purpose & destiny and released to do God's business!!!!  We also have a passion to give generously to help those in need and to help others launch into their God given destinies.
