Romans 2:4 ” Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?”
Today at the store, I was with a friend and a lady who was also entering the store at the same time, showed her kindness in the form of a compliment. This was a complete stranger. She put herself out there and risked being vulnerable by showing her admiration of my friend’s hat. I know this sounds somewhat obvious in nature; However, we often go along in life and pretty much ignore our fellowman or woman.
Kindness is a virtue. It is something we exhibit without expecting anything in return. Kindness often comes from a place in our heart of a pure heart. It can come in the form of provision, thoughtfulness, care, protection, and every form of helpfulness. It can just be a kind word, opening the door for someone and general thinking of others than yourself.
It is grace towards others. God is very kind to us knowing our human condition here on the earth. So many things here, on earth, were hijacked by Satan. Our life here often is not what God intended. God’s knowing is His love for us and letting us know He cares about us above the negative things going on in the world. He did not create the negativity.
Kindness in us can convey God’s love for people. We can outshine the darkness by sharing the kindness of God. His deepest desire is to show people beyond a shadow of a doubt that He is good, and He loves us.
Human Beings have lost their core identity. Our identity as a human being has been blurred and unrecognizable. The current lens we are using is blinding and disorienting to our belief system. This belief system is leading us into a ludicrous identity. It tells us everything about us is sexual in nature. This lens has no weight, substance, or redemptive value. It is greatly distorted.
The things attached to this idealization, through external validation present the following and not limited to alcohol, food, perverted relationships, jobs, involvement in sports, perfumery, movies, media, and every other thing we live with. It is far beyond any sane reasoning. Sexualization of everything has no justification or premise. It has no value. As we investigate, you will see how this is a false understanding of our sexuality.
Sexualization of everything does not bring healthy conclusions or fruitful effort in our lives. It only brings confusion, hurt, pain, more lies, manipulation and is quite simply witchcraft. Witchcraft is rebellion and control. It brings fear and lies with it. Sexualization is laced with rebellion, unnecessary hardship, and the complete downfall of societies.
Monogamous relationships and Families are the foundations, in which societies are built upon. Our American culture has unfortunately fallen to the way of Rome. The culture has indoctrinated our thinking and morality as a nation. Our ultimate identity is not that of just becoming a sexual being. That is a perversion.
Sexualization as an identity is a far-reaching poison to the souls of all peoples. It is the greatest lie and perversion of our time. It circumvents the identity of who we truly are. It is extremely narrow and limiting. It is designed, to have us only look in one direction in life which leads to the death of our real selves.
The perversion of our identity has deep roots. The root is tapped into the ugly belief that a predominantly sexual identity is above and beyond all else. It says, āYou will receive the right relationships.ā It also expresses, āYou will have money, fame and fortune.ā Along with that comes the belief of āAll will be well with you; your family and your entire life will be happy.ā
This belief lies to us and saysā Your sexuality will take you far into the future and beyond.ā This is a completely unreal belief. This dark lie has brought our country into moral failure and into arrears. We are losing our place as a country leading the world in prominence.
This deep-rooted perversion is so deep that we are oblivious to things going on around the world. We are unaware of the possible and real threats to our own society. We will look at these things in the coming chapters. These roots have strangled our people, so much so that we are now looking at how we have become vulnerable and not effective to a large degree in society. Our minds have been captured and directed elsewhere.
I will be shining the light into the darkness. I will be uncovering this well decorated lie. We have swallowed this ideology hook, line, and sinker. We have taken the bait of The Sexualization of America.
Psalm 91:1 KJV – 1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
Psalm 91:1-16 KJV – 1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the LORD, [He is] my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3 Surely, he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, [and] from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth [shall be thy] shield and buckler. 5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; [nor] for the arrow [that] flieth by day; 6 [Nor] for the pestilence [that] walketh in darkness; [nor] for the destruction [that] wasteth at noonday. 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; [but] it shall not come nigh thee. 8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. 9 Because thou hast made the LORD, [which is] my refuge, [even] the Most High, thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in [their] hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. 14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I [will be] with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honour him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him and shew him my salvation.
The secret place with Jesus is an intimate relationship where we learn to live. We are always searching for something whether it is consciously or subconsciously. We have a God hole in our heart that is searching to be filled with Him. God draws us to Himself. He loves us. The things that get in the way are those things that are not of Him. They can be close but not Him. They will only last for a short time and then we find we are not fulfilled.
In the above verses, we see that abiding in Him will keep us from the evils of the world. This is just one of an innumerable ways Jesus encounters us and helps us. His deepest desire is to have a daily and forever relationship with us. The intimacy is the relationship where we can drop the guards on our heart. Our innermost relationship with Jesus is where He makes himself known to us in a real way. We can tell Jesus anything. He reciprocates and places love in the parts of our heart that is in need of His love. He responds and addresses our fears, needs and wants. And much more.
Jesus wants to introduce us to His Kingdom. The Kingdom is His way of life. Jesus will come to rule and reign, and we need to be ready to know His ways. We have long misunderstood how Jesus actually would have us live in His Kingdom. His Kingdom is not a religion. If you read the Bible with the lens of the Kingdom of God, we find that God continually pursued the people to have relationship with Him.
I will post a few scriptures that talks about abiding. Jesus is very interested that we abide with Him. We are His children, and He draws us to himself. The struggle with receiving His love has to do with our misunderstanding of the relationship with Him. He is not a mean God or any other negative thing. He is madly in love with us. He sent His only Son (Jesus) to redeem us to belong to the Family of God. Jesus is the rescue operation for all of humanity.
Here are some scriptures that illustrate His desire to be with us. Abiding is staying, remaining, continuing, constant and dwelling. The book of John, chapters 14-17 are very beneficial.
John 15:4, 7, 9-10 ESV –
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. ā¦
7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. ā¦
9 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. 10 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love.
John 17:26 ESV – 26 I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
For your daily meditations and prayer, I suggest the following for abiding: 1) Find a comfortable place to commune with the Lord. 2) Make sure it is quiet and no distractions. 3)Keep a prayer journal. 4) Make sure you date it for future reference. 5) He knows your thoughts. Do not be afraid to ask anything or give Him all your cares. 6) Listen for His voice during the day. He often talks to us in the midst of our days. Even at our busiest time of day. Do not be surprised. 7) Read your Bible. That is another place we learn who He really is. 8) Ask the Holy Spirit for understanding. 9) Making choices daily to stay close to Jesus (according to His word) keep us in the position of abiding.
Psalm 122:6 KJV – 6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
We are praying for Israel and Jerusalem today as they are now at war from a merciless attack from Hamas. Please keep them in your prayers as we are allies with Israel.
In these times of great uncertainty, we have a sure and concrete promise from God for protection. He states over and over in His word that our protection is in His presence. Our sword of the Spirit for overcoming is speaking His word into the atmosphere. We can be assured that these two simple practices will bring us through our daily life. It will help us with things like a papercut experience or a complete failure in our lives. Whether it is something we were directly responsible for or we were at the mercy of an external circumstance not attributed to our own doing.
The following will help us greatly.
In our daily devotion we should put on the full armor of God daily according to Ephesians 6 verses 10-20.
Eph 6:10-20 ESV – 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13 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 firm. 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate ofrighteousness, 15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, 19 and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.
As you see above, we are in a spiritual battle not a fleshly one. I highlighted the core components.
The next key to your victories is staying in the presence of God. When we worship God, (Not petitioning or asking Him for something) we are in His presence. God inhabits the praises of His people. He is with us. He is omniscient. He is everywhere and most importantly with us. King David was a warrior through his whole life. He also was in continual worship and fellowship his whole life. We need to thank Him and have that intimate relationship as do two lovers.
Staying in God’s presence can be a challenge. The outside world void of God’s presence does not want you to stay in God’s presence. Every kind of distraction and temptation to stay away from God is designed to do just that. We must intentionally schedule time with our Heavenly Father. He looks forward to spending time with you. He wants to give you keys on how to live your day, year or next five minutes. I know as a young mom, or the demands of a providing husband are great. I found that if you put Him first every day, your life will change radically. He orders our footsteps to match with our book written in Heaven. The plans for our very life.
Next, is speaking the word of God, OUTLOUD. This is another key to pushing back the darkness in your life. It only has to be one scripture. Do not underestimate what this does to the darkness. The word is alive! Hebrews 4:12 ESV – 12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Pick a scripture the Holy Spirit shows you. Speak it outloud! Watch the transformation in your life. Watch the victory it brings.
Praying in the Spirit is a way to communicate with God without the enemy knowing what we are saying to God. It has actually been studied as a real language. It has all the components of what we know as earthly language. It sends shockwaves thru the spiritual realms. We are spiritual beings first. We so often focus on the flesh in our life not understanding we can affect our physical life with the spiritual life. The spiritual life needs to overcome the physical life. Walking in the spirit overcomes the things in the flesh that deter us from the things of God. Acts 19:6 KJV – 6 And when Paul had laid [his] hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. It is a great place here from this scripture to point out that when you prophesy you are speaking out the heart of God according to His word.
Reading His word, daily, is the belt of truth. His word is truth. It can be trusted, and we need to consume it every day. We gain His righteousness as we allow the word to change our hearts to be conformed to His righteousness and not our own self-righteousness. We are forming the breastplate of righteousness in us, as we accumulate the word in our hearts, it brings a readiness to share the Gospel of Peace, which is Jesus himself. They should see Jesus in us. When he is formed in us, we become like Him. Our shield of faith is gained daily by trusting what He asks of us. Trusting Him is simply understanding no matter what it looks like, we can believe what he told us to do or not do. It is His perfect will for our life. I can tell you it often does not look like it is going to work out the way we think it should. His thoughts are not our thoughts, and his ways are not our ways. He is the perfect one. Our helmet of Salvation is literally our receiving Jesus and all the benefits it provides. It quite simply is our welfare. He has delivered us from death and brings to us deliverance, victory, aid, prosperity and health. The word salvation in the Hebrew is H3444 , y shuw ah. The pronunciation is yesh-oo-aw. Yeshua as we have come to know it. Belonging to Him says we receive all that he brings to us. I am posting some scriptures to ponder on below.
Psalm 18:2-3, 28, 43, 47-48 ESV – 2 The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. 3 I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies. ā¦
28 For it is you who light my lamp; the LORD my God lightens my darkness. ā¦
43 You delivered me from strife with the people; you made me the head of the nations; people whom I had not known served me. ā¦
47 the God who gave me vengeance and subdued peoples under me,
48 who rescued me from my enemies; yes, you exalted me above those who rose against me; you delivered me from the man of violence.
Psalm 56:3-5, 8-11, 13 ESV – 3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
4 In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?
5 All day long they injure my cause; all their thoughts are against me for evil. ā¦
8 You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book?
9 Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call. This I know, that God is for me.
10 In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise,
11 in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me? ā¦
13 For you have delivered my soul from death, yes, my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.
Psalm 17:2, 8 ESV – 2 From your presence let my vindication come! Let your eyes behold the right!
ā¦ 8 Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings,
Psalm 16:11 ESV – 11 You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Psalm 21:6 ESV – 6 For you make him most blessed forever; you make him glad with the joy of your presence. Psalm 23:5 ESV – 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Psalm 31:20 ESV – 20 In the cover of your presence you hide them from the plots of men; you store them in your shelter from the strife of tongues. Psalm 41:12 ESV – 12 But you have upheld me because of my integrity, and set me in your presence forever. Psalm 51:11 ESV – 11 Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. Psalm 95:2 ESV – 2 Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise! Psalm 100:2 ESV – 2 Serve the LORD with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! Psalm 105:4 ESV – 4 Seek the LORD and his strength; seek his presence continually!
I encourage you to search out His word for your life and know your relationship with Him is important to Him! This just a small sampling listed above.
Identity Identity is such a vital component of knowing ourselves and God. It is a foundational piece of information to help you understand where you are going. It is a place of reflection or anchoring to build on or build from. It becomes a place of safety and being familiar with oneself. It distinguishes us from other people or other things. It has unique marks or qualities of each individual person. To Identify is to be or become the same. It is also to perceive or state the identity of (someone or something). Next, it is to ascertain the identity of someone or something. This helps us understand Identity. Genesis 1:26-27 ESV – “26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” We are knit together because we are all made in the image of God himself. We are called his children, so we are all the same in the Kingdom of God. We are the Family of God. Have you ever met someone and know you have never met them before? And you know they are so familiar. Often it is the familiarity of the Spirit of the living God that dwells inside of them. I have noticed they light up when we run into them and there is a natural attraction to the Spirit of God that dwells in them and you. I would like to speak to the familiarity for a moment. When we come together in the Kingdom and we are building, we need the strength of each other to build. The strength (encouragement) or gifts we have will help the building process. So, identity is key. 1 Peter 2:4-6 ESV – “4 As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, 5 you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 For it stands in Scripture: “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.” Psalm 118:22 ESV – “22 The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.” Isaiah 28:16 ESV – “16 therefore thus says the Lord GOD, “Behold, I am the one who has laid as a foundation in Zion, a stone, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, of a sure foundation: ‘Whoever believes will not be in haste.'” False identity is often the killer to our path. The enemy of our souls will attack relentlessly to stop us from knowing our identity and try to sell us a bill of goods saying we are something otherwise. Satan is the great perpetrator of identity theft and assault. If our identity can be distorted, stolen, or stopped we then will have a challenging time co-creating with God which is part of our identity. With His image we have His and our righteous imagination and play to use in the Kingdom. Currently, in our present day and age, we are suffering as a body with unity. We have not come to understand who we are and who we belong to. Our uniqueness is not celebrated. The Kingdom of God is absent from most believers’ daily lives. In this book, we will look at unity and knitting together. False identity and assault from the enemy, is the destroyer, of who we are created to be. We are ALL created in His image.
This is a chapter out of my coming book “The Sexualization Of America”.
Speak My word into the atmosphere, situation or problem.
Use your sword.
The world is in a war, waged from the kingdom of darkness.
Use My Blood.
Use My Light.
Apply the weapons I have provided for you.
Raise up a standard against the flood of darkness.
The authority you carry will defeat the enemy.
There are souls waiting for voice to present salvation.

Psalm 21 verses 9-12
Psalm 21:9-12 NKJV – “9 You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of Your anger; The LORD shall swallow them up in His wrath, And the fire shall devour them. 10 Their offspring You shall destroy from the earth, And their descendants from among the sons of men. 11 For they intended evil against You; They devised a plot which they are not able to perform. 12 Therefore You will make them turn their back; You will make ready Your arrows on Your string toward their faces.”
I have been seeing explosions of fire balls. That are approaching the earth. There is no room for anything else but Him. He will remove the enemies in the way.
I am on a rescue mission to save my people from destruction and chaos, so that I can begin to plant and raise up My Kingdom.
I am bringing My Kingdom to the earth. On earth as it is in Heaven.
The fierce interruption from the enemy will be stopped, aborted and destroyed.
I will no longer let the evil stay in its rampant state. I will use My Might and show My Glory.
I will show My Loving-kindness and My Great Grace.
You will move together as united to display My Love and reveal My Heart and co-labor in the Harvest fields.
As a Family, we will walk across the earth and fulfill My promises and render evil to nothing.
My Heart is for you!
Not against you!
The intentions and the display of evil will be brought to nothing.
We will be a standard as one against the flood.
We will walk together. I have raised up sons and daughters to walk with me in this hour.
My Glory will be seen everywhere. It will not be contained.
It will not be rivaled.
It will be the forefront in My Kingdom.
It will be Famous.
Do not be fixed on the world events.
They have nothing to do with you.
I am your protector.
Come, come sit with Me.
Come and inquire.
Come up higher out of the noise.
Be encouraged that God is in the midst of all that is going on. Do not be troubled.
John 14:27 ESV Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
I saw in a vision that waters in a healing pool were being stirred by an Angel. I noticed that the water was an inch or so deep. Then I saw as the people were walking around in it. It began to dry up. The waters then began to look like a scene at the beach. The Lord spoke to me about it the next day. Here is what He said.
“Times of sand quickly running out.
Quickly fading.
Fading into the Glory.
The future of My Kingdom, coming, coming, coming.
Rolling gently into eternity future. (Olam Haba)
Calling it forth.
Bringing the time to an end.
Bringing My Holy Presence into being.
Bringing My grace and Holiness to the forefront.
Bringing it forth.
Come walk in My Glory-presence.
Do not teeter on the edge.
Come walk into Glory presence.
Come worship.
Come higher.
We are in a season of transition and great change! Be encouraged that God is for us and working on our behalf.
I asked God today what He wanted you to know. He said tell them I LOVE THEM! I was thinking, yes, but how do you relay God’s heart on that subject.? Especially in such a fallen world as we see today. His heart is so BIG. His heart is inviting us to all come in and know Him. So, knowing that in my heart, it took me awhile to understand HOW to relay that beautiful sentiment from God to you.
The first thing that came up was a song from the 1960’s called “What The World Needs Now” released in 1965, written by Burt Barach and Hal David. It was sung by Jackie De Shannon and later Dionne Warwick. It was originally offered to Dionne Warwick who turned it down. Dionne Warwick went on to record an album named Here Where The Love Is. Jackie De Shannon also recorded Put A Little Love In Your Heart. The You Tube video link is here for What The World Needs Now. https://youtu.be/XieZAjBTkr4
God is an amazing God who loves to use songs to relay things to us. He uses music and song to touch the deep places in our heart. It is part of His Glory. The Glory is His manifested goodness towards us and to us. Yes, the music and song does not have to be a song only sung in church. The source of that music and song originated from Him first since, we are made in His image. We can tap in for music and song. One of the last songs I can remember from Him to me was, Cinnamon Girl, by Neil Young. He knows me well as I am His spicy girl!
God’s Love for us is unrivaled. We know He sent His only begotten son to come to earth and die for the punishment for sin. Jesus took on the sins of the world because He loved us and wanted a Family. John 3:16 KJV ” For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” He loved us first.
Love brings many things to our lives. It brings healing, revelation, abundance, gain, righteousness, more than enough, restitution, grace, deliverance, restoration, recompense, joy, true happiness, dreaming, creating, movement, freedom, wisdom, motion forward, safety, provision, vision, comfort, miracles, signs and wonders, to list a few. Jesus invites us to himself to experience life with Him. We need to get to know Him more by spending time with him in worship and meditating on His word. Talking about Him to our family, friends and neighbors draws His heart near to us. He Loves the exchange of His relationship with us. He Loves to hear us brag about Him. I know people are hurt by human Love that is immature or not represented well. Take the time to learn about unconditional love and sacrificial Love given to us freely from our Jesus.
The 1960’s was a powerful time, like no other, of searching and looking for Love. It was represented in ways that never looked to good. I know there were unsavory things going on however it was a time like now that were shaking up the norms. God uses these times to draw us near. I was only eleven years old in 1967. I was aware of many different things going on in the world. Looking back, it seemed normal because that is what we knew. I remember Vietnam on television and musical change such as the Rock N Roll everything. There was much, much more that was taking place during that time. Even as a child we somehow knew. It feels alot like now.
These next scriptures are how God’s constant love comes towards us.
God Is Love
1 John 4:7-10 TPT
7Those who are loved by God, let his love continually pour from you to one another, because God is love. Everyone who loves is fathered by God and experiences an intimate knowledge of him. 8The one who doesnāt love has yet to know God, for God is love. 9The light of Godās love shined within us when he sent his matchless Son into the world so that we might live through him. 10This is love: He loved us long before we loved him. It was his love, not ours. He proved it by sending his Son to be the pleasing sacrificial offering to take away our sins.
Let God’s Love continually find you and saturate your heart. Lean on His Love and you will never be disappointed.!
