Dear Russian leadership: I’m not a historian. I can’t unequivocally say there has never been an army like yours. So I can only understand what I see you doing by equating it with my own life, but I have to say that, even in my own life, I do not see the likeness of your […]
Something to nag at your memory for pondering: I have said that the name of God is far more than saying God. It is everything he has done everything he is doing and everything he will do for eternity. No man can possibly speak that, so he gave us a name we could speak. That […]
sight Sound Taste Smell Emotional Atmospheric Anything can bring association between the now and what was. It’s sudden and it’s strong. Those terrible memories you have about terrible things you have done, why are they the ones who are predominant in such memory recollection? Surely you have a great many pleasant memories. But your appearance […]
What is this spine that I wear on my back?It’s not the one I was born with. This spine is tempered steel .“ I can’t live in a fire to temper my spine!”. What is the strength of it?What does this do that bones cannot? Let’s take a look: Why am I sitting here full […]
Black, gray, white. Monotone, color, light. This world cannot write any story from heaven. It can only speculate, suspicion, imagine, the things of God in Christ. You want to know what’s sad is? All the stories of this world will gather together before the throne of God. They will see the Christ of God and […]
If you never feel tempted by the devil, it can only mean a couple of things. Either you have no moral compass so your conscience doesn’t bother you at all or you’re so in league with the devil you think everything he and you do is right (and not even you, let alone others, has […]
Everybody wants God to bless them. If a mass murderer were given a slice of sanity, he too would ask God to bless his hand! Think about it. The problem is when we get blessed in some earthly fashion having been on the bottom, nothing more than a walking pile of Dung, we lose something […]
At the bottom (a pallet sized hole in the ground, reaching to the surface far above my head) is an absolute desolation that does not come from man. I wonder how many have actually been here and got out. Then the answer comes down the tiny little stream next to me, as many as I […]
The latest Lord’s , teaching to me: Accept everything that IS. Do not let it change you in the slightest. Be at peace and full of joy, no matter what kind of circumstance arrives. Not just as a public veneer, but as a true joyful heart to encounter what is thrown in my face. You […]
I spoke to a lady yesterday who said she had lost a loved one. I wouldn’t mention this, but what the Lord shared in me was profound. The sum:Don’t let what is inevitable, destroy your hope in any fashion. You will feel profound sadness when death visits or horrible sickness anything that the world considers […]
Words From There 
AMEN!

The reality of God’s message is falling upon me like a blanket of raging fire. It is what I have desired. Yet, the horror overwhelms me.

2 Cor. 4:7But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. 8We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; 10always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. 11For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.
God bless and keep you~

I have often said, “Iron sharpens iron.” It is good to remember those words of encouragement you posted. We are NEVER alone. And He who suffered alone will never allow that to happen to His people! We serve the Living God with all possible courage in the face of alll possible horrors. Fear does not belong to our God.
Amen.
He has blessed me and has promised to keep, not only me, but all who speak the truth with the power of the Holy Spirit. Blessings to all who allow their heart, minds, souls, and lips to belong to He who does not lie. Yet woe to those who seal up their own bodies with the desires of the flesh. What belongs to God will return to God, regardless how they have chosen to live their lives.

Iron truly does sharpen iron, indeed! Wisdom of God from one to another! I shared those verses above with you because the Holy Spirit had laid them upon my heart last night, which is going to be my bible verse photo today. He also gave them to me again while reading your post. Yes brother, His promises are true, He will keep us and we must never lose sight of His holy ways. We serve a Holy God and we His people are being perfected into the likeness of our Lord. Something else He was laying upon my heart along with the verses was, Rejected by many, but not crushed. Yet we are being crushed, like a grape, the more crushing of our flesh, the more the sweet smell of Jesus flows forth from within! Praise God,OH! Praise GOD!!! Be encouraged in the Lord! David as we read in the Psalms many times, we read he encouraged himself in the Lord. I have learned that for my own walking with my Precious Lord:)
