Zephaniah 1:4-2:3 Judgment on the Whole Earth in the Day of the Lord 2  “I will sweep away everything
    from the face of the earth,”
declares the Lord. 3  “I will sweep away both man and beast;
    I will sweep away the birds in the sky
    and the fish in the sea—
    and the idols that cause the wicked to stumble.” “When I destroy all mankind
    on the face of the earth,”
declares the Lord, 4  “I will stretch out my hand against Judah
    and against all who live in Jerusalem.
I will destroy every remnant of Baal worship in this place,
    the very names of the idolatrous priests— 5  those who bow down on the roofs
    to worship the starry host,
those who bow down and swear by the Lord
    and who also swear by Molek, 6  those who turn back from following the Lord
    and neither seek the Lord nor inquire of him.” 7  Be silent before the Sovereign Lord,
    for the day of the Lord is near.
The Lord has prepared a sacrifice;
    he has consecrated those he has invited. 8  “On the day of the Lord’s sacrifice
    I will punish the officials
    and the king’s sons
and all those clad
    in foreign clothes. 9  On that day I will punish
    all who avoid stepping on the threshold,
who fill the temple of their gods
    with violence and deceit. 10  “On that day,”
    declares the Lord,
“a cry will go up from the Fish Gate,
    wailing from the New Quarter,
    and a loud crash from the hills. 11  Wail, you who live in the market district
    all your merchants will be wiped out,
    all who trade with silver will be destroyed. 12  At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps
    and punish those who are complacent,
    who are like wine left on its dregs,
who think, ‘The Lord will do nothing,
    either good or bad.’ 13  Their wealth will be plundered,
    their houses demolished.
Though they build houses,
    they will not live in them;
though they plant vineyards,
    they will not drink the wine.” 14  The great day of the Lord is near—
    near and coming quickly.
The cry on the day of the Lord is bitter;
    the Mighty Warrior shouts his battle cry. 15  That day will be a day of wrath—
    a day of distress and anguish,
        a day of trouble and ruin,
    a day of darkness and gloom,
        a day of clouds and blackness— 16      a day of trumpet and battle cry
against the fortified cities
    and against the corner towers. 17  “I will bring such distress on all people
    that they will grope about like those who are blind,
    because they have sinned against the Lord.
Their blood will be poured out like dust
    and their entrails like dung. 18  Neither their silver nor their gold
    will be able to save them
    on the day of the Lord’s wrath.” In the fire of his jealousy
    the whole earth will be consumed,
for he will make a sudden end
    of all who live on the earth.

Judah Summoned to Repent 2  Gather together, gather yourselves together,
    you shameful nation, 2  before the decree takes effect
    and that day passes like windblown chaff,
before the Lord’s fierce anger
    comes upon you,
before the day of the Lord’s wrath
    comes upon you. 3  Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land,
    you who do what he commands.
Seek righteousness, seek humility;
    perhaps you will be sheltered
    on the day of the Lord’s anger.

I woke up a bit ago and felt lead to read my Bible. The days get hectic here and I don’t always get time in the word as I like to have. Anyway, I asked the Lord where he wanted me to read.This was the answer. 2 Samuel 5:12. And David knew that the Lord had established him as king over Israel and had exalted his kingdom for the sake of the people Israel.

I believe that King David is one of the Biblical characters whom President Trump emulates. There are a couple others as well King Cyrus and Mordecai.

My husband and I are watching Collateral and l suddenly wondered if perhaps actors like Tom Cruise and others like him who play in movies where he plays a spy and assassin are really involved in such things. Perhaps they really are assassins and spies in real life and hiding in plain sight????

So my husband and I were just out for dinner in a Mexican Restaurant. The food was delicious and it suddenly dawned that while different countries may have their differences, many like food from other cultures and food wins hearts. My observation while high while drifty (ps my high school years were like this naturally without any drugs and I hated it and hate it now as I want to be clear headed, though I should try painting while I feel like this.) a sudden barometric change, benadryl for food allergy and half a delta 8 cbd .08 thc for back pain is what did this. A very simple solution to world conflict; Introduce a food exchange/ share cookoff between the best cooks from their own country to lighten the political and ruler tensions -you know you are finding the best competitive chef for their own country when they firmly push to do their own country’s best representation of their country) to teach their opposing country how to make those dishes as their student in food from their own native land and they want to kick butt in the kitchen which would also be for their guests (opposing enemy country’s countrymen) not leadership-aka government and for them to be the judge. Then let those citizens sit down and discuss and decide on government while those currently peon citizens get to trade them places and make rulings then we get to govern them for a change, then permanently trade them places governing.

Tuesday, August 30, 2022 Hearing His Voice

LISTEN
“To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out” —John 10:3 As you get to know your Shepherd, you will come to realize that when He calls you, it is always worth obeying. When He says something, it is for your benefit. If He says, “Go this way,” it’s because He has green pastures and still waters for you. If He says, “Stop! Don’t do that,” it’s because He is trying to protect you from potential danger, possibly something that is even life-threatening.

The fact that God speaks to us is clear throughout the pages of Scripture. To some, like Moses, God spoke audibly. To others, like the prophet Elijah, He spoke quietly on at least one occasion.

Often we look for the big events, the earth-shaking circumstances in which God speaks. And many times He is speaking to us, but it is in a still, small voice. We should try turning off the television, the radio, and the telephone and just listen. With all the noise in our world, with all the information that bombards us, we can hear all those voices but miss the most important voice of all.

Maybe one reason we don’t hear Him is because we never stop and listen. We should heed the words of Psalm 46:10, which says, “Be still, and know that I am God.”

Once we have heard the voice of God, we need to follow. Jesus said, “The sheep follow him, for they know his voice” (John 10:4). The word follow means to deliberately decide to comply with instruction. It is a deliberate choice for sheep to follow the shepherd. We need to deliberately decide to follow our Shepherd, to do what He tells us to do.

When God Almighty speaks to you in that still, small voice, will you listen? Will you follow Him.

Nahum Chapters 1-3 (entire book) (posting chapter 2 and 3 as replies as too long for one

1 A prophecy concerning Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.

The Lord’s Anger Against Nineveh

2 The Lord is a jealous and avenging God; the Lord takes vengeance and is filled with wrath. The Lord takes vengeance on his foes and vents his wrath against his enemies. 3 The Lord is slow to anger but great in power; the Lord will not leave the guilty unpunished. His way is in the whirlwind and the storm, and clouds are the dust of his feet. 4 He rebukes the sea and dries it up; he makes all the rivers run dry. Bashan and Carmel wither and the blossoms of Lebanon fade. 5 The mountains quake before him and the hills melt away. The earth trembles at his presence, the world and all who live in it. 6 Who can withstand his indignation? Who can endure his fierce anger? His wrath is poured out like fire; the rocks are shattered before him. 7 The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him, 8 but with an overwhelming flood he will make an end of Nineveh; he will pursue his foes into the realm of darkness. 9 Whatever they plot against the Lord he will bring[a] to an end; trouble will not come a second time. 10 They will be entangled among thorns and drunk from their wine; they will be consumed like dry stubble. 11 From you, Nineveh, has one come forth who plots evil against the Lord and devises wicked plans. 12 This is what the Lord says:

“Although they have allies and are numerous, they will be destroyed and pass away. Although I have afflicted you, Judah, I will afflict you no more. 13 Now I will break their yoke from your neck and tear your shackles away.” 14 The Lord has given a command concerning you, Nineveh: “You will have no descendants to bear your name. I will destroy the images and idols that are in the temple of your gods. I will prepare your grave, for you are vile.” 15 Look, there on the mountains, the feet of one who brings good news, who proclaims peace! Celebrate your festivals, Judah, and fulfill your vows. No more will the wicked invade you; they will be completely destroyed.

Batten Down the Hatches

By Chris G Bennett August 29, 2022

The prophets, even me, are warning of a very bumpy ride ahead. As the evil men of this world, with ever more desperate measures, try to force their will upon the world, so God, in His majesty, might, and power, will respond by throwing down their house of cards. Modern day Jeremiah’s, who are prepared to uproot, tear down, and destroy - before they build up again - must be prepared to stand up, wage holy war, and be counted! Some are warning about Armageddon type scenarios, but it's much too early for that. There's still too many end time events still to happen. The evil men of this world are trying to force Gods timetable ahead of itself - but that's not going to happen.

Yet it may well cost everything to stand against this - reputation, ministry, family, friends, possessions, even life itself - but stand with and for the Lord we must if we want those who follow us to live in freedom. We must stand on the shoulders of the Giants of faith who have gone before us. We must, as the Bible puts it, “Therefore take up the whole armour of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” Ephesians 6:13

The phrase “withstand in the evil day” is key! There are evil days coming, when the true evil in the world is fully revealed, and the evil men retaliate with whatever schemes they have up their sleeves. When power outages occur, when all communications are blacked out, when all that's left is the media lies and propaganda - that's when we'll need to stand on the Word of God and His promises. When all we have left are Gods promises and prophesies - that's when we will need to stand - in the strength of God alone. And that is when Gods strong right arm will sustain us because that is his promise!

Read again Paul's exhortation and stand upon it! “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints!” Ephesians 6:10-18

In these days of international sabre rattling, biblically referred to as ‘wars and rumours of wars’, the spiritual sky looks ever darker and darker. It's never been a more important time to daily plead the Blood of Jesus over our lives. Then, as on Passover, the Lord will have His angels pass over our house and bless us rather than anything else. Pleading Christ's Blood over ourselves and our families is the equivalent of painting the blood on the lintel and door posts as in the original Passover.

There are dark days ahead but the promises of God are unfailingly reliable rather than anything man can threaten or offer. It’s time to batten down the hatches, listen to the Lord, and press home the victory He won for us at Calvary.

CGB 29 August 2022

Recently there was a short talent search on TV called ‘American Song Contest’ The winner was a teen girl with a song called ‘Wonderland’ about Alice and the Red Queen. Strangely the girl’s name was Alexa. Could there he some significance to that in relationship to Q drops and all that is currently happening??

PROPHETIC WORD. ( I have set before you , an open door.)

While , I was cooking dinner today. I saw a quick flash of an open door , with a bright light coming out of it. Immediately, I heard the Lord saying👇 “See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; "-Revelation 3:8 So I wrote a line of what the Lord was speaking to me in my journal , in other not to forget to seek him for the full downloads. Hours later, the Holy Spirit was helping me to sort out my outfits for the week and right there, I was waiting keenly for his instructions for the new week and after our conversation about how my new week is going to be like. I heard him speaking to me again, about the open door downloads. I pray that the Lord bless you , as you read.

I see and hear the Lord saying👇

Behold, my precious one. I set before you an open door, that will not be shut . For the past season is over. And the new season is here.

I am closing old doors and opening new ones. Though, you may not fully understand what I am doing right now. I am setting you up, for your miracle. For your heaven will no longer be shut, your heaven will be open.

My Precious One, Get ready to say goodbye to places and people who are not permitted to be part of your new season. Of course, I am shaking things in your life right now. Pruning you, so that you can become more fruitful. I am stretching you, so that your capacity / tent can increase beyond measure.

Now, listen. In this new season, you will have great need to discern which opportunities to take and the ones not to. For, I am releasing upon you the wisdom that you need to walk right into the open door, that I am flipping open for you. Suddenly, you will begin to understand that I am connecting the dots in your life and your joy will be full.

You will not wait in vain. Right now, I am taking away your reproach and delays in your life. So , get ready to walk into the open door that I have set before you.

"Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you. Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding." Proverbs 4:6-7

"If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you." James 1:5

“I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go; I will guide thee with Mine eye" Psalm 32:8

“Thus says the Lord to His anointed, To Cyrus, whose right hand I have held— To subdue nations before him And loose the armor of kings, To open before him the double doors, So that the gates will not be shut: ‘I will go before you And make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze And cut the bars of iron. I will give you the treasures of darkness And hidden riches of secret places, That you may know that I, the Lord, Who call you by your name, Am the God of Israel." Isaiah 45:1 -3

“Do not fear, for you will not be ashamed; Neither be disgraced, for you will not be put to shame; For you will forget the shame of your youth, And will not remember the reproach of your widowhood anymore." Isaiah 54:4

"To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him." Ephesians 3-10-12

War cry

As the war cry comes

And the battle lines are drawn

Stand steady in Christ

Stand firm upon the Rock

Jesus will reveal when the time has come

When we hear the angel’s mighty horn

The sound that’s heard far across the world

His voice as sharp as a two edged sword

Hold tight to faith

Hold tight to Him

Because we all fall down

But he’s holding out his hand

If we trust in Him

To the point of death

He will lead us to the promised land

Never to feel sorrow

Never to experience pain

But to live whole again

Complete in Him

Psalms 58:10-11

The godly will rejoice when they see injustice avenged. They will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked. Then at last everyone will say, “There truly is a reward for those who live for God; surely there is a God who judges justly here on earth.” Share

Two black sisters, one four years old didn’t catch age of second, taken from Kansas City MO by biological father who is packing and allegedly just committed homicide.

Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Isaiah 54:17 no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me,” declares the LORD.

2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

So, there something very personal (a spiritual battle of sorts(three things to be exact)) that I have been battling quietly for several years. Some regarding some things that happened to me, others are some things that I did. I have given them to God, many times actually, but human tendency takes them up again and again. I know they are no longer my cross to bear but I can’t seem to help it and they influence me wayyy too much. I won’t be specific, so please don’t push, but I need these strongholds broken as I believe that they may be what is standing in the way of receiving the open doors I need to move forward with Camp Yesu and be able to serve the Lord in the way he desires me to and that is more important to me than anything in the world. Please pray for me in this.

Just got EIN and Camp Yesu named registered today for Missouri which I was told I had to do here first since I live here and don’t own the Montana ranch yet. Next step is filing mboth for Montana then FEIN and PMA. Please pray over as my husband doesn’t want to let me sink any more money in as he says “too high of risk”. What’s the risk if I can’t get the property and not spending any more money and don’t owe anything else? I am trying to step out in faith and obey God on this.
