Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. John 5:24

Immortal is listed six times in the KJV Bible. 

Meaning of Immortal living forever, never dying or decaying: “Immortal souls inhabit our mortal bodies."

Immortal truly does not seem to be a popular word in the Bible. It is only used approximately six times. The word immortal draws us into unfamiliar territory.  

When we speak of immortality, it seems we tend to think of Hollywood’s vision instead of the true essence of the word. To live forever in a spiritual realm can be a scary thought! 

Hollywood seems to depict the darker side of immortality. However, I see it as a beautiful promise. When I think of immortality, my heart and vision drift to the man who defies all logical thinking. He has shown us the deepest, most important vision of immortality. 

He gave us hope; He has shown us the greatest LOVE ever known to mankind! During this amazing moment in time, He offered Himself as a sacrifice, thus giving us a visual of His love and the promise of immortality. This visual points us to and gives us confidence that one day we will walk with Him in paradise.  

This promise unveils our Soul's purpose on earth and in heaven. Our soul inhabits our earthly body to embrace a life of learning.  We are to share its beauty and His love with others. Until that pivotal day that we all must face transitioning to another life. I do believe it is human nature to want to hold on to hope that the very essence of who we are will never perish.  

The biggest questions are: Is there really a spiritual realm? And do we truly know where our journey might take us? Not knowing where you will be for eternity can be a daunting thought. However, there is a beautiful promise of eternity.  

Our Heavenly Father gave us many tools to help us find our way. He gave us Jesus to illuminate our path and show us, by example, a travel guide called the Holy Spirit. He gave us a road map called the Holy Bible. And the beautiful news is, He even holds our hearts through the process...

If we embrace and use all the tools He has given us. It is not a scary journey.  It’s a beautiful gift of sharing eternal life with the most amazing Father, Son, and Holy Spirit we will ever have the privilege of knowing!! 

We can only pray that when that pivotal day arrives, our family and friends will know without any doubt that we made it home. 

Love without restraint. Celebrate LIFE. Be everything our Father knows we can be, and look to the beautiful promise of eternity.

“To them who by patient continuance in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life:”

Romans 2:7 KJV

How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death so that we may serve the living God! Hebrews 9:14... 

"And the angel said to them, 'Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.' Luke 2:10.

What is the meaning of the word prophecy? A prophecy is a message inspired by God, a divine revelation. 

The word prophet appears in approximately 65 verses in the Bible. 

I say WOW.... again WOW... I see so many messages with claims that God told them to share these thoughts and nuggets of information with the masses. There are so many ?? There are many claims so hold on to your hat because the storm and horrific things are on the horizon. OMG! 

The thought of discovering which one if any is truly a message from God can be mind-boggling... And can make many physically worried and or sick! 

When I googled the word prophecy my feed hit overload.. My eyes widened, my breathing became labored.. and the thoughts of what is to come sent my mind in overload... yikes 😳

The times ahead can be a scary thought. 

However, my relationship with God gives me peace in my soul that He is in control. He has revealed to me a LOVE for His children that is beyond our own human understanding. Is that a prophecy? If I look at the meaning of the word prophecy then that is indeed a prophetic statement. 

I would rather stand on the prophetic words “God's LOVE” than any other message. I have chosen to look ahead through the spiritual eyes God has given us. I chose to look to Him and only Him... 

I do believe He speaks through a chosen few.. not the masses. But He is accessible to anyone who listens and spends time with Him. Anyone that will open their heart and soul and let Him in. I do believe that messages from God are messages that will not make us run around like Chicken Little saying the “Sky is falling”. 

I do believe. We must not make light of any message heard... But !  we must investigate, we must sift all messengers, and their words through God’s heart and test it against God's word. 

I feel many study the word and then twist it to make themselves feel important in the eyes of man. Many use scare tactics to bring attention to themselves, under the premise of "God Said". I do believe we must arm ourselves with God! His Love and His word so we can see through false words with our own spiritual eyes... 

And if things in our future look scary stick close to Him... He is our protection. He is our future. He is our light source. He is our First Love, He is our All. Don’t wait for an intermediary to tell you what may come .. God will tell us what He wants us to know.. in His timing... He knows if He reveals too much many will carry unnecessary anxiety and fear... 

He is the God of Peace. He is the God of Love. And when we trust Him for our soul's future, we can lay our heads down at night knowing He’s Got This !!! Today, Tomorrow, and Forevermore!  Stand back and watch Him !!! 

He WOWs me!!! 

It’s Him, It’s always Him! 🥰

Tune in and listen with Soulful ears, watch with soulful eyes. Love and Trust Him with all your soul, all your heart, and all your might! 

“When people speak messages on God's behalf, do not refuse to listen. Instead, think carefully about everything, to see if it is true. Remember to obey anything that is good. But keep away from any kind of bad thing.”1 Thessalonians 5:20-22 EASY

“But when someone prophesies, he speaks to encourage people, to build them up, and to bring them comfort.” 1 Corinthians 14:3 TPT

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal 2 Corinthians 4:17-18

No Fear (Lyrics) - Kari Jobe

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. 4 Luke 6:35...

I originally posted this post on Oct. 2020. But I stumbled over it again this week and felt it in my soul to share it once again. 

When someone is not thoughtful and opens a wound in the heart of another and selfishly turns away.  Are they so self-absorbed they can not see the injury they cause or does it go much deeper? Turning away no matter the reason is callous and does not diminish the action that caused the pain. It does not make the pain nonexistent. It can actually make the wound deeper and takes the wound longer to heal.  Turning away is something I will never understand ??? I hope and pray that I could never be that person. My heart would not allow my mind to rest knowing I caused anyone that kind of pain.💔

Jesus knows this kind of pain, He personally has felt the anguish that this type of action causes.   He trusted 12 men that walked the earth with Him.  They all professed to love Him and they all acted like His friend. Callously one by one they all turned away. Leaving Him to stand alone in His darkest hour and yet ... HE LOVED ❤ them anyway...  His strength along with His indescribable LOVE for us reaches far beyond heaven and earth. This kind of  LOVE ❤ boggles my mind and leaves me standing in awe... I cried out, please teach me how to love like you do.

My Father's love and time have taught me when your heart is wounded by someone and you can find it in your soul not to callously respond.  But, instead, you reach out and offer them your unconditional love, expecting nothing in return...   That my friend is how and when the greatest internal transformation of your heart occurs. The chains are broken, the wounds heal, and you are freed to experience the most incredible unselfish love known to mankind! You will be filled with an unexplainable peace in your heart and a deep understanding that will soothe your soul. It's amazing!

Our Father will always welcome us with the warmth of his open arms, He will never turn us away .. NEVER ...  He WOWs me!!! 😍

It's Him, It's always Him

❤Please watch the video❤

🙏 My Prayer 🙏

Life on earth can change in the blink of an eye. So, I ask our Father to guide us in this troubled world.. Help us be filled with his light, allowing us to show his love, compassion, kindness, and forgiveness to anyone that may cross our path. If we can help touch one hurting heart and let them know, It's going to be OK our father is a great healer of hearts...  He is the prince of peace. He offers us, unconditional LOVE. All we need to do is open our hearts to Him. And His LOVE will take us on the most incredible journey of our LIVES.  ❤

❤❤❤❤❤

I am grateful for the gift of you!

On The Turning Away - Pink Floyd (Lyrics)

Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that. Martin Luther King - 

Meaning of war: a state of armed conflict between different nations or states or different groups within a nation or state:

There are approximately 22 verses pointing to war in the Bible.  And it seems that there are nine wars in the end times and that Armageddon relates to only one of these.  That may be scary to many.

However when I think of war. I think of the devastation it causes. The life, property, and relationships it destroys.  The shattered hopes, fractured dreams, and our fragile future hangs in the balance... War affects us on all levels... It does this globally, it does this between nations, and between all humanity.   

As I studied the word war. I began to see this word on a much more personal level. I see many of us today fighting a war against the darkness in our world. It’s against an invisible enemy. It can manifest itself as many things. Some call it covid 19. Some call it society, politics, or religion. Some call it fear of the unknown. Some call it anxiety. Some call it depression and there are so many more labels... 

Many have retreated to a safe place. Some have hidden in the cold

darkness that can consume them.  Some continue to have that raging war within. This one is the most difficult to escape. It haunts the very corridors of our troubled minds. It invades our peace and eventually, it erodes our physical health... Are we lost? Who holds the answers? Who can rescue us from ourselves?? 

Some have managed to find peace and love in the midst of the storm. 

But How? What is the secret? Who holds the answers?

I have witnessed the power in His name! I have felt a love that can create miracles. I have seen hearts come out of darkness into the light... There is only one name that brings such peace, such beauty, such grace, and such unity. 

How do we not see Him, How do we not hear His Voice? How do we not LOVE Him with every fiber of our being ??? I will stand tall and tell you He holds the key to our hearts, our souls, and our lives... 

I admit. It has taken me a while to see Him. It has taken me a while to hear His voice! But it is not going to take me a while to share Him !!!! 

All remedies point to Him!! 

It’s Him, It’s always Him !!! 

There is no other name before Him!!! I call him Elohim !!! I call Him Yeshua, I call Him Holy Spirit. But all of these names point to God,

and yes He still WOW's me.

Ephesians 6:13 “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.

Revelation 21:7 “Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children.”

Matthew 24:6 “You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.”

Riley Clemmons - Fighting For Me (Piano Version)

Meditation moment shared from my heart. 

The room was cold and dimly lit. I settled into my zero gravity chair and covered with a warm blanket. I tried to settle my thoughts. I began to breathe in a few short breaths and let them out slowly... 

In my mind's eye, I found myself in a cathedral sitting in a pew. 

When suddenly Jesus appeared from the ceiling floating down slowly into the room. He softly landed and walked to me. He reached for my hand and led me and I followed.  We came to a rooftop like setting. We could see a dark city. He held my hand and we floated to a place where we were standing on a glass floor. We could see the dark city below.   

He began to point His finger to the buildings below. As He pointed at the window, a light began to spill out a warm glow. He pointed to another window, and again a light began to spill out a warm glow. He did this several times. I felt like he was showing me that His light was indeed reaching souls.

He smiled. And then He held my hand and slowly walked to a bench just a few steps away. We sat down. I snuggled in close and suddenly I felt a rushing but gentle wind behind me, and these giant white wings appeared they seemed to be coming from His back. They opened fully I could see the delicate feathers.. the softness and beauty they seem to reach at least 6 feet on either side... I seem to be unafraid, I seemed to be at peace like this was a normal everyday occurrence. 

I placed my hand on his chest and my head on His shoulder.. and His wings and His arms wrapped me into the most beautiful loving moment in time... we lingered there for a while.

and then suddenly I was there alone. 

I walked to the middle of the glass floor... I raised my arms palms up.. with my head looked upward,  and there I stood, and this thought crossed my mind...There are still so many dark windows... 

And just as soon as that thought crossed my mind.  I could see windows being lit some shining bright some just showing a small flicker in darkness ... The image stayed for a few seconds as the music played, and then the moment faded and the music ended. 

I can only pray that if you read this, Your flicker turns into a flame 🔥.

Be kind, Be loved, Be Lit !

"The angel of the Lord appears to Hager. The angel speaks as God in the first person, and in verse 13 Hagar identifies "the LORD that spake unto her" as "Thou God seest me. Genesis 16:7-14

 “And before the throne, there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.

And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him, and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.”

Revelation 4:6, 8 KJV
