THERE IS A MONSTER LURKING ABOUT

 

PLEAD THE BLOOD

Today is November 16, today I learned I had been exposed to COVID. Now I must self quarantine.

I ask myself how I feel? Well not a happy camper for sure. But I have prayed and have placed my faith in Christ Jesus, my Healer. I have plead the blood over myself and my home. I am prepared to stay in and away from others, to protect them. I have food, cat has food, so I will spend a lot of time in prayer and in the word. I have reminded myself, that I haven't been sick since 2013, because God has kept me, I know my lungs are better today than they have been in 7 years. God told me in 2015 I would not have a premature death and I believe Him. In 2018 He told me each day when I was doubting "Keep on living". So I kept on living and today changes none of that. He is faithful to me, He is with me, He will not allow a virus from Hell bring me harm. I have placed all my faith in Him and Him alone. 9:27pm of day one.

An uneventful day, I feel just fine and I am trusting that I will continue to feel good. Didn't do much today, prayed, ate, read the word, watched a cute movie, oh did I mention I took a two hour nap 😃. 

Nothing new happening today. Tommorow I will shower, might not look much better but definitely need one ☺️. Well it is 10:22 pm day two has come to a close. Oh I forgot, I have always had a cough but for over a year it has much improved, only appears to attack me at night, and early morning, my thinking probably sinus drainage. Except last night and early this morning I had no cough!!!! I believe God was telling me "I have you Linda you have nothing to fear". I may not write everyday and maybe I will. Goodnight

I am writing earlier tonight than usual. Today I made the decision to have a COVID test, I wasn't going to because I have no symptoms and planned to just self quarantine, but I was prompted to go, I thought I was using wisdom and really didn't want to miss church Sunday. I know I sound silly, but that's my family and I love gathering to worship our Lord together. But enough of being sentimental 😁. I went and when I saw their doctor she listened to my lungs. I asked "what did you hear", she said "nothing your lungs are perfectly clear, completely clear of anything"! This is important, because since 2013 the crackling of the scarring from the fibrosis growing was heard loud and clear, until February 2020, and I was told by my primary care doctor the crackling sound was faint and my lungs sounded better than good. I have been living and walking and believing in my healing, and today because of a COVID test (cause I wouldn't go to my doctor and wear a mask) God showed me I am HEALED. I told the doctor my story, and how God has healed me and I added "He has brought me this far, no virus from Hell is going to stop me now". Oh and I had no fever etc. Won't get the results until Thursday or Friday. Signing off 5:07 pm

Today is Friday, November 20. I have very little patience, so I have been really wanting to hear the results of my test, now I believed it would be negative but wanting affirmation of it. And sure enough at about 4:00 I learned it was negative! WELL PRAISE GOD!

Now let's talk about this Monster lurking and attacking people around the world. This virus is both vicious and to many deadly. My daughters have had it, I have friends that have had it, I have a family member right now on a ventilator! So yes it is very real! It spread throughout the world by a lab in China, and I truly believe that the one behind this plague is the old dragon, himself Satan. Ironic that the symbol for China is a dragon and Satan is known as the dragon. Now let me be clear, the citizens of China are not responsible for any of this, they are victims of a Communist regime, as much a victim as any of us. I and others have prayed against this virus from its beginning. But while talking with my nephew about praying, he spoke a word that caught my attention "eradicate". Not for God to push back, restrain but to eradicate it from all existence. I call this "The virus from Hell", I believe it is the work of the devil to kill, steal and destroy. How does it steal you ask? By stealing our peace, joy and faith, to bring in worry, sadness and fear. This is not about what I think politically this is about stopping this virus from the pit of Hell. Too many have been sick, too many have died. Time to war up and pray up.

Father, we come to You, who is the only answer for this plague upon us. Jesus we pray that in Your name and by Your blood You our Lord and Savior will eradicate this disease from off of this earth, Father restore America as we fight in the trenches of a spiritual battle. That You Father God will receive all the glory, that no longer will any be able to mock Your name or those who follow after You. I pray for healing to those who are right now sick, I pray that this disease will not be to their death but You will raise them up with a testimony of Your goodness. In Jesus name Amen

The bible refers to the eagle often, and as the dragon is the symbol for China the eagle is the symbol for America.

FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS

 

HEAR US O GOD

God's word says "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations." Jeremiah 1:5

We often use that scripture as part of our pro life stand and rightly so. Now that word sanctified means to set apart, in other words God set Jeremiah apart from before his birth to be a called Prophet to the nations.

Many God has set apart for His ministry and many have rejected that calling on their lives. Though not everyone is called to be a prophet, a teacher, an apostle, an evangelist, a pastor in the Ministry. We have all been called to be His ambassadors, His soldiers, we are all to plant seed, to water the seed someone else has sown (as mentors), to be intercessors, prayer warriors and to live our lives in such a way that the light of Christ in us will draw others to Him.

A few months back, as I was praying and refecting, I remembered the reoccurring dream I had from the time I was 9 until I was saved at 27. A dream that had events unfolding that no unchurched 9 year old would have any knowledge of. I  have written of this dream often, so I will not go into details, merely to say; it was the events that reflected Judgment Day was coming and even at 9 years old I knew I could not run from or hide from that day. Then the summer of 1973 God used my unsaved husband to tell me to go read the bible, and where did I begin? Of course Revelation from beginning to end though my natural man could not understand, I knew this "Something bad was coming and God wins"! That coupled with my continual dream, on February 22, 1974 I surrendered my life to Christ. Through years of up's and downs, by the time I am in my fifties, I began to pray "Father, make me a prayer warrior". Had I understood it's meaning perhaps I would not have prayed. I was 64 years old before I began to see the fruit of that prayer. As I had been praying and reflecting I heard God speak in my spirit "I have planted in you the events of the latter days, so you will know how to pray"! 

I have felt this burden for our nation and for His church for years. I write about, I pray about it and inwardly I weep and ache about it. I never expected this post to take this direction, I had other plans, but God changed that direction.

I will hopefully give some scripture references at the end. But know your calling! God before you were born set His calling for you down in you. Oh He gave me talents at my birth, and at my salvation He gave me spiritual gifts both of these we are to use within the local church and within the community around us to fulfill His purpose. We are all called to pray, to be warriors, to be intercessors, but then there are those who were specifically called for such a time as this. To see the deception both in and outside the church, to view events taking place within our nation and by the power of the Holy Spirit within us, we pray some days quietly, and other days we battle fiercely, we take on our adversary with violence and with great force. But each time we pray it is by the leading of the Holy Spirit.

I encourage you know what your calling is at this time and fulfill your purpose in Christ. For as His word says "He is coming again"!

Matthew 11:12, Joshua 5:13-15, 

2 Timothy 2:3-4, Esther 4:11-16

Father, hear my prayer for Your bride. We need You, You are the breath in our lungs, You are our King, our Lord, our all sufficient God. Awaken us to You, we have allowed life and the world to take us from Your house of worship. We have begun to look like the world; seeking self pleasures, looking to our possessions, being filled with self-righteousness. Oh God where are we? Where am I? Evil is all around us, Christians are falling into deception. The spirit of depression is shrouding the minds of Your people. Help us Lord as we call out to You, from a place filled with much darkness, You are the Light, You are our beacon we must follow. Fill Your church houses today, fill them with people seeking You, crying out to You, hungry for worship, hungry for healing, hungry for hope, thirsty for Your living water. Pour out Your rain of revival let it move within every body of believers gathered for worship. Let the music stop, and let worship flow into Your throne room and onto Your feet. Let us pray for one another, for You have called us Your House of Prayer. Father let Your anionting flow throughout the room, let Your Holy Spirit minister to each person in the room, let the atmosphere radiate with You, loosen the tongues from our mouths that we might give You praise, give us a greater revelation of who You are. Let us lay on the altar and cry out to You consume what is not of You and purify all that is of You, let Your fire fall. Let us listen for Your voice, let every distraction the enemy will send to keep us from hearing Your voice be silent. We need an upper room encounter in these days we are living in. An encounter that will send Your church out  to the highways and byways and be witnesses for Your goodness, let the fire, the burning passion, the anionting flow through Your people that  we will be strong and courageous. Bind the spirit of discord and loosen from heaven unity of the brethren. Father let not wickedness prevail in America, bind on earth as it is in heaven the spirit of the antichrist who desires to trap through deception through lies to lead the people into the pit of Hell, he hates You, Your people and he hates America because You have blessed and You founded America in Your name, loosen from heaven to earth Your light, Your truth, Your mercy on our nation In Jesus name and by the power of His blood Amen

WHAT IS GOD DOING?

 

My pastor said Sunday inwardly we are yearning for Jesus, yearning to go home. Are you yearning (longing for)?

HELLO GOD! ARE YOU THERE?

Since March, God has repeatedly taken me back to Hebrews 12:26-28. I knew that when this Chinese virus hit and we had to "Shelter In Place", that God was up to something. What I wasn't certain, but I prayed, and I watched and I read these verses in Hebrews. And here is what I saw.

God was shaking everything we had taken for granted, things we were so accustomed to that in some cases would even be little idols in our lives. Suddenly we found we couldn't have sports, we couldn't have entertainment, we couldn't go out to eat, businesses were closed, people were losing much needed income, grocery shopping was not stocked as before, we couldn't visit loved ones in Assisted Living, or Nursing Homes, kids couldn't go to school, couldn't go to playgrounds, and told we couldn't go to church!  What is God doing?

I saw that God was shaking everything around us, shaking us as we have never been shaken before. I knew that in this time God was calling out His church to search their hearts to bring us to prayer, bring us to His word, bring us to revival as we are locked away from living as we once did. God wanted us to see just how far we had fallen from Him, how we had allowed the luxury of the world and all we took for granted to become our focus. 

The church was being tested, we were in the Refiner's Fire, what would we look like when all was opened back up. Would our time in our homes change us, bring us back to our first love, or would we just pick up where we left off?

But then came the masks, promoted by the media as day after day numbers were reported of new virus cases, increases expected, deaths would continue. We go out to limited places but not without a mask, children if they went physically to school had to wear a mask, stay a safe distance, not engage in childhood activities with their friends. No longer could we have friendly chit chat while at the store, your spit and nose particles may spray someone! ( Let me say I know the virus is real, many have died and many of my friends have it even now. God did not send the virus but He knew it was coming) Many conformed well others didn't. What is God doing?

More hurricanes making landfall, fires out of control, soaking rain. What in the world is God doing?

We thought most of the fuss would settle down after November 3! Well surprise surprise nothing like I expected. What is God doing?

Those who know me knows my political stand, I vote my core values that is as close to God's biblical standard that means I will never vote Democrat! So I have prayed and I have prayed over this election, and I am still praying because we knew the Democrats would do everything they could to steal this election. Also knowing that the kingdom of darkness was operating in the world, and particularly over America I prayed and I believed! I knew that certain things had to take place in order for the prophecy of God's word to be completely fulfilled. We saw a stage being set, that would usher in a New World Government, a One World Currency, a One world Religion. The Democrats call it "A Reset", but in reality it is what God calls it One World Government. Chaos has to come, our economy has to fail, churches must be persecuted, because those things will take place to usher in the rapture of the church, and the arrival of the Antichrist! I knew if we lost this election, we were smack  in the middle of God's prophetic timeline. But Now God, Now?

I do not know the final outcome of this election, in all probability it will go to the Supreme Court. So I still pray. Having said that God took me back to 

Hebrews 12:26-28 whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, "Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven." Now this "Yet once more", indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably we reverence and godly fear.

The principalities, and powers, demonic activity rules in the air, they come upon nations, governments, people, media and wherever they can bring in their deception, lies, because the only goal of Satan and his minions is to Steal, Kill and Destroy. But we the believers and followers of Christ have been given the key of authority over them through prayer and we have been given armor to wear to fight these battles and it is written that God is our rear guard.  I said that because when God shook the heavens before was when He sent His Son Jesus Christ to be our substitute for sin. When will God shake the heavens again? Now I am not a Prophet, not a Theologian but we are experiencing a shaken in the spiritual realm. 

I knew what may happen if the election turned, but to be very honest I never expected it to. I believed and still trusting that God will push back the darkness that America will have another opportunity to reach the lost, to be the nation He desired for us to be and we failed to stand up for what was righteous and allowed evil to be called good.

What is my point? Just as God has been shaken us since March as I wrote above. God is even now shaking our political system. We, church, must not allow ourselves to look at anything that would take our eyes off of Jesus and His kingdom. Though I am thankful we live in a nation that we have the privilege to vote, we can no longer take even that for granted. We assumed because we voted as God would have us to vote we would have victory. But the enemy is claiming his territory and everything we have held dear is being shaken! God is turning up His Refiner's Fire heat. Because in these latter days we must be able to remain faithful, to endure to the end.

This election is not over until God says it is over, and we do not stop praying until God says STOP!

It's being shaken, so we will run to Him, to humble ourselves, turn from our wicked ways, seek His face and pray. This is for the church not the unbeliever, but when we get our hearts right God will send revival, and the lost will seek God through us. We are His vessel He will use.

Stay faithful, God isn't finished!
