" Living in the Danger Zone "

Read Psalm 91  and determine the truth of which you are: the secret- place dweller or the wicked.
              Now ....
"According to the last verse, the wicked can't expect the same protection from calamity that secret- place dwellers enjoy"  Are you thinking that I'm saved, so that automatically puts me in the protected secret-place realm? Not so fast. "The E.W. Bullinger Companion Bible commentary says the wicked are the lawless." Feeling safe now? Well, where are you in this following description? "They are the people who have not given God's Word any attention. They do things their own way instead of God’s way. Such people-even born again believers who have received Jesus as their Savior and Lord,- don’t dwell in the secret place of God’s protection. They don’t abide under the shadow. They wander around outside it; to abide means to remain, to stay. The disobedient live in the danger zone, unprotected from the terrors at night, the arrows that fly during the daytime and the kinds of massive destruction that can kill 10,000 people at once." The info between " and " is from a book called:
  "Live Long, Finish Strong by Gloria Copeland 
 Now I'm not trying to terrify people but it is necessary to do a reality check on your location.  And if need be change your location; quickly. Now's not the time to live deceived, thinking your okay!

Watch for new things to happen through June

Each year interesting things happen between Passover and Pentecost. Jesus was resurrected right after Passover and about fifty days later the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples for the first time on Pentecost. The original time between Passover and Pentecost was a very spiritually active time and it still is today. It is a time where God transitions people from being in a hidden place into revelation of His new plans and assignments for them.
What are the new plans God has for us?
Three things that God is bringing to us right now are: new authority, new revelation, and visitations of His peace and presence.
· Jesus gave new authority. See Matthew 28:18.
· New revelation was given to understand things prophetically. See Luke 24:45.
· Visitations of God's presence and peace. See Luke 24:36.
Justice of the Peace Angel
This year, Passover started Tuesday, April 19th and went through Monday, April 25th. It was during this time that we began receiving new revelation and assignments.
On April 21, 2011 an angel was in my house for several hours that was dressed like a Justice of the Peace from an old western movie. Immediately we began to see a dramatic turnaround in many areas of our ministry and life, including justice and peace! We started getting unexpected checks in the mail and things that had been delayed suddenly opened. There have been opportunities for things that are now coming that had been promised to us for a long time. God's presence of love and peace continues to invade us at a higher level.
Transitional Angels
Also during Passover, I had several significant visitations by an angel called Transition that I have not encountered before. This type of angel signals great change that is happening right now in people's lives. I have had dozens of people tell me that suddenly they feel that they are about to make a change to something new in their lives. God is re-aligning the chessboard, so to speak. We have all been in a season of transition for quite some time. Now is the time for action and to actually see things move and shift us for a greater impact.
Floodgates Opening
It is not a coincidence that one of the current major news stories is that "The Floodgates are Opening." The massive amount of water being released through the Mississippi River is symbolic of a massive release of the Holy Spirit that is happening right now. God is releasing things in the Spirit that will not be contained.
Passover to Pentecost
Check for yourself, go back and look at your journal or calendar for last year, April 5 through May 23, 2010. I experienced a lot of new things and had a surge of financial increase during that time. To understand how God speaks, I highly recommend journalizing or using a computer to track and record the things you hear from God and other notable events that are happening in your life. You will begin to see that God is doing much more than you may now realize.
Last year God said that He was releasing something new for me on Pentecost, May 23, 2010. I never saw anything happen. Then I realized that it often takes nine months for new things to grow and be birthed. I checked February 23, 2011 and, sure enough, it was the week of new amazing media contacts. We need "eyes to see" what God is doing in our lives.
Passover to Pentecost this year is April 25 through June 12. It is an amazing time with lots of dreams, revelation, and angelic activity. It is time to take your injustice claims before God and ask for repayment. Watch for new things to happen specifically between June 8-12.
You can make your claim right now for things that you have lost or have been stolen from you and your family. It is time to go before His Throne boldly and plead your case in the Courtroom of Heaven. Watch for the new things to begin to open and things that were in transition begin to take shape.

Jesus, My Father, the CIA and Me: Not A Light Read



“Jesus, My Father, The CIA, and Me” : A Memoir of sorts “ by Ian Morgan Cron is the story of a man’s memories beginning from a very dysfunctional childhood to adulthood. The father of his memories is dramatic, powerful, uncaring of others & their feelings or needs, remote, over-the top; an almost unbelievable personality. A story of a constant 3 ring circus complete with whip. There are times of joy here and there; but usually only for a brief time. It’s like a cross between a fairy tale (because of the lavish sets and famous people mentioned) & the movie “Mr. & Mrs. Smith’ (because of the violence, & the fact that they didn’t really know each other) and then of course the other fairytale- the Grimm ones.

Only after a few chapters I found myself becoming angry as I read about this sensitive little boy and how his father terrorized him. How he hoped against hope that finally he would connect with his father; only to have that hope crushed time & again. It was hard to read about the promise of this young boy & how he lived but only survived. He does end up overcoming his past but what a road it was. The writer is very good at drawing a picture with his words as he wrote about his life; sometimes too much detail for my liking . But I did enjoy his colorful way of turning a phrase into something new; that was funny but totally understandable; you got it. I can’t say that I would recommend this book to everyone. If your battling depression, this isn't the book for you; its not light reading.

I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze®.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255

Sad Update on Will Norton

This is a facebook post from his family:
Everyone, tonight is a sad night for us. I'm sorry to tell you that Will was found but he was not alive. We are grieving deeply. It brightens our lives to know that even in his passing he touched lives. We will write more soon but tonight we will mourn as a family. Please pray for Mark, Trish and Sara as well as my parents. God bless you all. Please pray for those still lost and hurting. Aunt Tracey

Keep praying for those who are still missing but also don't get under the grief of so many missing.
Its an easy enough thing to get under it all but that's why Jesus said to bring it to him. It hurts us if we try to carry it all & then we also find it even more difficult to pray. There have been many lives cut short; children without parents; parents without children, etc. We know we are seeing it in the media being played out in front of us. Fight the impulse to blame God; He's our Help. I get tired of hearing every natural disaster called well, it was an act of God. What about those who lived? That I will gladly call  an act of God- there has been some miraculous rescues that we will hear of more & more.
 Praise be to God!
Time to pray for the survivors as they rebuild their lives; and those helping them.

How's it Working for me? Complaining that is!

Recently it came to my attention by way of Holy Spirit that I sure am doing alot of complaining!
So basically, CUT IT OUT!  The Bible tells us not to do it- in Philipians 2:14 " Do all things without grumbling & faultfinding & complaining." Well, since there seems to be alot of it, in me,  "where oh  where to start with that?"  You know Holy Spirit will help with even that. The Instruction was to start with the weather of all places. I have to admit that I never put that verse with this instruction before- I thought they were talking about bigger stuff than this!  But its commonplace for all of us to complain about the weather. So common that its a habit. 
So as part of a Fast- negative speaking about the weather started to get rooted OUT. I know this is just the start of walking out that scripture. Its going to spread out into my life into other areas that Holy Spirit & I will be working on together.
Why should I care? Well I do want to obey the Word of God & all that complaining displeases God- I'm not being thankful- and He knows it will hurt me.  When I really look at it, it sure does steal my Joy.

Evacuation Planning for Pets: Are You Prepared?

Do you live in an area that is prone to natural catastrophes, such as tornadoes, earthquakes or floods? Disaster can strike at any time, so it’s important to have a clear evacuation plan in place well before you need it. The ASPCA recommends arranging a safe haven for yourself and your pets, and if you must evacuate your home due to a crisis, plan for the worst-case scenario. Most importantly, do not leave your pets behind. Remember, if it isn't safe for you, it isn't safe for your pets.
To minimize evacuation time, please follow these simple steps:
Store an emergency kit—with items such as three to five days’ supply of pet food, bottled water, medical records, a blanket, a flashlight and leashes—as close to an exit as possible.
Make sure all pets wear collars and tags with up-to-date identification. Your pet's ID tag should contain his name, your mobile telephone number and any urgent medical needs. Be sure to write your pet's name, your name and contact information on your pet's carrier.
The ASPCA recommends micro chipping your pet as a more permanent form of identification. A microchip is implanted in the animal's shoulder area, and can be read by scanners at most animal shelters.
Always bring pets indoors at the first sign or warning of a storm or disaster. Pets can become disoriented and wander away from home during a crisis.
Consider your evacuation route and call ahead to make arrangements for boarding your pet outside of the danger zone at the first sign of disaster.
