Marcella Ward   January 22, 2025

We are entering the New Era.  As President Trump says, “A Golden Age.”  God is giving us a window of time to re-set the world for His coming Glory.  The End Time Harvest is near.  God’s Word is clear.  The restoration of the nation is here.!!

 

TRIUMPH!   DIANA Larkin     “A WATCHMAN’S JOURNAL”    January 20, 2025

 

“This is a day of GREAT TRIUMPH! TRIUMPH over so many dark plans. TRIUMPH over LYING, CHEATING, and STEALING. A TRIUMPH that will usher in TRUE JUSTICE and RIGHTEOUSNESS. A TRIUMPH of FREEDOM over DARK TYRANNY. Today, I want you to EAT CAKE and CELEBRATE a hard-fought VICTORY won by the Forces of Light and My strong right arm. Feel the HUGE SHIFT in momentum from dark to Light. Those partnered with darkness are watching with ANGER and DREAD, as they see all their evil schemes being THWARTED and EXPOSED one after another. They realize their EXPOSURE is imminent, so they are going to FIRE their BIG GUNS. Just remember that My POWER far OUTWEIGHS their destructive schemes, and I have promised you a FULL and COMPLETE VICTORY. Call forth and deploy Warrior Host who will POKE HOLES in every evil plan the enemy launches. Commission Cloaking Angels to COVER those holes so that the darkness is UNAWARE that the POWER and DESTRUCTION is LEAKING OUT of their plans. I want you to know that NOTHING will STOP My COMPLETE RESCUE and VICTORY for your nation and the world. In short, those partnered with darkness are DOOMED to EXPOSURE, DEFEAT, and TRUE JUSTICE. Today, I want you to BREATHE IN this VICTORY that has been won as your rightful leader is placed into his office. EAT CAKE, CELEBRATE, and be REFRESHED for the clean-up battles ahead. You all have a share in this TRIUMPH!”  (Diana Larkin  www.dianalarkin.blogspot.com  A Watchman’s Journal }

                                                             RESTORATION

Restoration—“To return to a person, as a specific thing which he has lost, or which has been taken from him and unjustly detained. We restore lost or stolen goods to the owner.” (King James Dictionary)

Ever since the fall of man at the Garden of Eden, God has had a plan to restore us to His Kingdom and the plan that He has had for us since the beginning of time.  “Restoration in the Bible is synonymous with healing, repairing, returning to a previous state of being. Psalm 51:12 says "Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit."  (Bible Verses about Restoration Compiled and Edited by BibleStudyTools Staff on 7/21/2021)

 Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets.  Acts 3:21 NIV

Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted.  Galatians 6:1 NIV

but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31 NIV

 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 NIV

After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before.  Job 42:10 NIV

 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.  I Peter 5:10 NIV

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!  2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV

There are five people in the Bible that were seemingly failures but were restored by the hand of God; Job, Joseph, Moses, Gideon and Peter. (Beliefnet.com)

JOSEPH

Joseph’s brothers wanted to kill him because of their jealousy of one of his dreams that showed his destiny but instead of killing him they sold him into Egyptian slavery.  He was falsely accused by Potiphar’s wife and thrown into prison.  Joseph found favor with the warden of the prison and he was appointed his right-hand man.  When the king’s royal cupbearer and baker were imprisoned, Joseph successfully interpreted their dreams.

Two years later, King Pharaoh had two dreams and Joseph was able to interpret them correctly.  Pharaoh appointed Joseph as viceroy, second only to the king himself.  It was during the time of the famine, that his brothers, who had sold him into slavery, came to Egypt because of the famine that Joseph had interpreted from the Pharaoh’s dream.  Joseph’s identity was revealed to his brothers and he forgave them.  Joseph was not only restored to what God had planned for his life but everything that happened to him God allowed for a purpose so that the circumstances led to his destiny.  (The Story of Joseph in the Bible From Prisoner to Prince By Yehuda Altein)

JOB

One day the angels came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came with them. The Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?”  Satan answered the Lord, “From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it.”  Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.”  “Does Job fear God for nothing?” Satan replied.  “Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land.  But now stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face.” The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, everything he has is in your power, but on the man himself do not lay a finger.” Job 1:6-12 NIV

Job lost all of his livestock.  He lost his health and was stricken by painful boils.  His seven sons and three daughters were killed but after Job prayed for three friends, God restored his health, his wife birthed seven sons and three daughters and he received twice his livestock.  Job lived for another 140 years.  God gave him twice what had been taken from him!

 MOSES

Moses killed an Egyptian and was exiled.  He knew that he had a calling on his life but he seemed to run away from it.  It wasn’t until he was eighty years old that he met Almighty God in the burning bush.  It was there that God told him his destiny.  Moses didn’t feel like he was worthy enough to do it but he obeyed God. 

It was his destiny to lead the people of God out of Egypt to the Promised Land.  God restored his destiny to him even though there were times where it seemed impossible for it to come to fruition.  Sometimes it is in the desert where there is a refining as gold is refined in the furnace in order to use us.

GIDEON

All Gideon wanted to do was to gather food and hide from the Midianites but God had other plans.  In fact, Gideon questioned God.

The angel appeared and spoke to Gideon, “The Lord is helping you, and you are a strong warrior.”  Gideon answered, “Please don’t take this wrong, but if the Lord is helping us, then why have all of these awful things happened? We’ve heard how the Lord performed miracles and rescued our ancestors from Egypt. But those things happened long ago. Now the Lord has abandoned us to the Midianites.”

 Then the Lord himself said, “Gideon, you will be strong, because I am giving you the power to rescue Israel from the Midianites.” Gideon replied, “But how can I rescue Israel? My clan is the weakest one in Manasseh, and everyone else in my family is more important than I am.”

 “Gideon,” the Lord answered, “you can rescue Israel because I am going to help you! Defeating the Midianites will be as easy as beating up one man.”  Judges 6:12-13 NIV

  Gideon defeated the Midianites whom he feared and God restored the Israelites.

PETER

We know that Peter denied Jesus three times.  When Jesus and his disciples had finished eating, he asked, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than the others do?” Simon Peter answered, “Yes, Lord, you know I do!” “Then feed my lambs,” Jesus said.  Jesus asked a second time, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter answered, “Yes, Lord, you know I love you!” “Then take care of my sheep,” Jesus told him.  Jesus asked a third time, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus had asked him three times if he loved him. So he told Jesus, “Lord, you know everything. You know I love you.”  John 21:15-17 NIV

 Jesus restored Peter after questioning Peter if he loved him because Peter had denied him three times.  Peter was no longer a coward but would stand strong in the faith to the point of being crucified upside down because he was not worthy to be crucified like Christ. 

“Heaven "received" Jesus when He ascended into heaven after the resurrection (Acts 1:9). At some time in the future, He will return and Israel will be restored. Not even Peter knows when this will happen, although he suspects it will be soon (Acts 1:6–7). And Jesus tells us that we should continue to live as if He can return at any moment—because He can! (Mark 13:32–37.)

The Old Testament describes this restoration in several places:

• The relationships between fathers and children will be restored (Malachi 4:6).
• Israel will finally hold the geographical borders God promised (Genesis 15:18–21).
• God's promise to David, that his heir will sit on the throne forever, will come to be (2 Samuel 7:12, 16).
• The people of Israel will follow God with their whole hearts (Jeremiah 31:31–34).
• All nations will serve Jesus (Daniel 7:13–14).
• God will restore the peace of the animals from the fear He subjected them to after the flood (Isaiah 11:6–9; Genesis 9:2).”  (Bible Reference.com)

How does this apply to our lives?  It applies to us because our identity was lost and stolen by the evil one in the Garden of Eden.  It was then that God had a plan to restore all things through Jesus’ sacrifice on the Cross.

In each of our lives, restoration is part of who we are because of our imperfections, mistakes and sometimes our turning away from God.  Just as a painting can be restored to its original state, so God is restoring us each day. He, the Master Designer, is restoring our lives to fit the painting, the story that was planned for us from the beginning of time.  Only the brush strokes from His hand will remove the scars, wounds, and even our sins with the blood of His Son Jesus Christ!!

                                           THE GREATEST TIME TO BE ALIVE

What does the Bible say about the Last Days?

“The Bible talks about the last days of earth primarily in the Book of Revelations, in which John writes about the return of Jesus Christ and the deliverance of all believers. Revelation informs us that the final showdown between God and Satan is imminent. Satan will increase his persecution of believers, but they must stand fast, even to death. They are sealed against any spiritual harm and will soon be justified when Christ returns when the wicked are forever destroyed, and when God's people enter an eternity of glory and blessedness.” (Compiled and Edited by BibleStudyTools Staff on 2/25/2021)

In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways,  but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe.  Hebrews 1:1-2 NIV

 For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.  Matthew 13:17 NIV

Are we living in the Last Days?  There are many who believe we are.  The disciples asked Jesus what would be the signs.   As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”

Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you.  For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. 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.  Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.  All these are the beginning of birth pains.

 Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.  At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.  Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.  And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.  Matthew 24:3-14 NIV

In Matthew 13:17 Jesus told the disciples that they were truly blessed to be alive and to see the fulfillment of the prophecies of old because they were experiencing Jesus, the promised Messiah, Who would come into the world to save us from our sins and be resurrected.  and that He may send [to you] Jesus, the Christ, who has been appointed for you,  whom heaven must keep until the time for the [complete] restoration of all things about which God promised through the mouth of His holy prophets from ancient time.  Acts 3:20-21 NIV

If we are living in the Last Days and we experience the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, then we are living in the greatest time in history. "Our nation is in crisis. It has grown darker over the past six years. It will continue growing darker until we turn back to God as a nation. The good news is when we do, we'll see a Great Awakening and many souls will come into the kingdom," says Jennifer LeClaire, senior editor at Charisma magazine, contributor to BarbWire.com and author of The Next Great Move of God: An Appeal to Heaven for Spiritual Awakening. "I'm blowing the trumpet. I'm sounding the alarm. There is hope for America, and that hope lies in the body of Christ rising up to do as Jesus commanded: Occupy until I come."  (Is the Third Great Awakening on the Way? By Matt Barber, CP Op-Ed Contributor)

The Third Great Awakening, many believe, has begun.  This awakening will be the greatest the world has ever seen and it will be that which will bring the greatest harvest of all time.  In my own observations, I have perceived that many aware waking up to the deception and persecution that has been going on and they are beginning to take a stand.  It is a convergence of patriots and Christians coming together.  There are those patriots that are waking up and are coming into the Kingdom as they see the Truth of the Gospel on display with those willing to take a stand for their faith and freedom.  There have been many conferences throughout the United States where these patriots and Christians are coming together to lift up America and support each other in their endeavors.  The “Mama Bear” movement is a part of this.

 “The words revival and awakening are often used interchangeably, but there is a distinction. An awakening takes place when God sovereignly pours out his Spirit and it impacts a culture. That is what happened during the Jesus Revolution, and it’s what happened in multiple spiritual awakenings in the history of the United States, predating its establishment as a nation.

A revival, on the other hand, is what the church must experience. It’s when the church comes back to life, when the church becomes what it was always meant to be. It’s a return to passion. I think many times we overly mystify the idea of revival, but we don’t really need to. Another word I could use for revival is restoration – restoring something to its original condition.” What Is the Difference between a Spiritual Awakening and a Revival? (Greg Laurie Senior Pastor, Harvest Christian Fellowship July 25, 2018)

If we are in fact living during the Last Days and experiencing the Last Great Awakening before the Second Coming of Jesus, we will be witnessing the greatest miracles, signs and wonders the world has ever known.  Buckle up, because we are going to be embarking on the greatest time to be alive!  You were born for such a time as this!

7. God In The Storm – 6 Powerful Ways To Trust God When The Flood Waters Rise Posted on October 12, 2020 by Rosevine Cottage Girls)

 “One day a small gap appeared in the cocoon, through which the butterfly had to appear. A boy, who accidentally passed by, stopped and watched how the butterfly was trying to get out of the cocoon. It took a lot of time, the butterfly was trying very hard, and the gap was as little as before. It seemed that the power would leave the butterfly soon.

The boy decided to help the butterfly. He took a penknife and cut the cocoon. The butterfly  immediately got out, but its body was weak and feeble, and the wings were barely moving.

The boy continued to watch the butterfly, thinking that now its wings would spread and it would fly. However, that did not happen.  The rest of its life the butterfly had to drag its weak body and wings that weren’t spread. It was unable to fly because the boy did not realize that an effort to enter through the narrow gap of the cocoon was necessary for the butterfly, so that the life-giving fluid would move from the body to the butterfly’s wings and that the butterfly could fly. Life forced the butterfly to leave its shell hardly so that it would become stronger and would be able to grow and develop.

If we were allowed to live without meeting difficulties, we would not be viable. Life gives us challenges to make us stronger.”  (2 Powerful Short Stories On Overcoming Adversities  #5MinMotivation Posted January 3, 2020 Elita Torres)

Daniel 3:16-18 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him, “King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand.  But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.” NIV

Daniel 3:24-25 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego trusted God in the fire.   Then King Nebuchadnezzar leaped to his feet in amazement and asked his advisers, “Weren’t there three men that we tied up and threw into the fire?” They replied, “Certainly, Your Majesty.”  He said, “Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods.” NIV

There are those who say that the fourth man in the fire was the pre-incarnate Son of God---Jesus Christ.  Yes Jesus is always with us in the fire and in the storms of life.  He will never, never leave us or forsake us as long as we call on Him and trust Him.

Mark 4:39-40 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.  He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” NIV

Jesus is the quiet in our storms.  We need to have faith that He will still the storm but just like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, He will also be with us in the fire and even though we may not always be delivered from the fire, He will help us get through the fire or the storm.

 

 

GOD'S TIMING

                                                                     GOD’S TIMING

Marcella Ward  February 25, 2026

 

Timing is “the choice, judgment, or control of when something should be done.” (Oxford Dictionaires)

Psalm 31:15 (NIV)

My times are in your hands; deliver me from the hands of my enemies, from those who pursue me.

Mark 1:15 New International Version (NIV)

“The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!”

Acts 1:7 (NIV)

He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NIV)

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:

Psalm 27:14 (NIV)

Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.

Galatians 4:4 (NIV)

But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

Galatians 6:9 (NIV)

The following is an excerpt from an article, “What is God’s Timing?” Get Bible Answers.org.

·              Jesus had to wait 30 years before God baptized Him with the Holy Spirit and anointed His   ministry.

·              Moses waited 40 years before God sent him to rescue the children of Israel from the Egyptians.

·              The Israelites had to wait for 430 years before God rescued them from the Egyptians.

·              David had to wait for 13 years before he became king of Israel after being told he would be king.

·              Abraham had to wait 25 years for the birth of his son Isaac after being told he would be a father.

·              Noah had to wait 120 years from starting the ark until the flood actually happened.

·              The apostles waited 10 days after Jesus had ascended before they received the Holy Spirit.

“Kenneth W. Hagin gives a good example of God’s timing. “When I was 16 years old, I traveled all over California with my sister, my mom, and my dad, Kenneth E Hagin, as he preached the Word. We lived in a travel trailer. Once we pulled into a town where Dad was going to preach for several days in a church.  We had enough food for one meal, and we ate that Saturday night.  Sunday after church the pastor took us out for dinner, and after that, we had no more food.

My dad said, “don’t tell anybody.  God will provide.  Until then, we’re just going to keep believing what the Word says,” Monday came and went, and we didn’t eat. Tuesday went by, and we didn’t eat… Wednesday, a man knocked on the door and said, “Brother Hagin, since Sunday the Lord’s been dealing with me that you needed groceries, but I knew you didn’t need any.  Finally it got so bad that today I couldn’t stand it, so I just went and bought a whole pickup truck load of groceries.  Here they are.”(1) Sometimes God is waiting for someone to obey.”

 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.  Isaiah 55:8-9 (NIV)

I am sure all of us have stories we have heard or stories of our own where we can see God’s perfect timing.  We can look back and see that if something had occurred according to our timing, it would not have worked out in our best interests.  Remember, God sees the whole picture and we do not.  Time is in God’s hands and so is His timing. 

Troy Brewer, a Pastor of OpenDoor  Church, said, “Time is God’s way of keeping everything from happening at once.”  He also has stated that we can redeem our timeline from events in the past by inviting Jesus into a time of trauma for healing.  He has a book that explains this in detail, “Redeeming Your Timeline.”  Even though this is not specifically about God’s timing, we live in a world where we operate in the past, present and future and God is already there.  He is in our past, He is in our present and He is in our future.  God is not subject to time.

The following is a prayer to ask Jesus to go back with you in the past to heal any trauma or hurt.  Jesus is not bound by time, so ask Him to heal your past hurts and trauma.

A PRAYER FOR THE HEALING OF PAST TRAUMA

Jesus, walk with me into my past (ask Him to be present at the time of the trauma/hurt).

Jesus heal me from _____________________. (the event that occurred)

I ask you to heal the memory of ___________.

I forgive _________ .  (If someone is the contributing factor of an event)

Thank You for healing me from that memory.

Walk with me now and always.

I love you and I continue to trust You with my life.

Amen

Be at peace with God's timing.

A prayer about God's timing.  (Author unknown)  "Lord, Father God, I praise You for this day.  Lord I praise you that everyhthing that is blocking what's coming to me will be removed that much more this day.  That in gratitude and thanksgiving I enter Your Courts with thanksgiving.  I enter Your Courts with praise and I decree this is the day that the Lord has made and I will be glad and rejoice in it.  Father God, I surrender my will to Your will, to Your perfect timing and Lord I decree and declare that every perfect gift comes form above but it also comes in perfect timing because the Lord's mercies are new every morning and great is His faithfulness.  I repent for any impatience and any sadness, sorrow, fear or doubt.  I cast it off and I wait in faith because the just shall live by faith." 

 Be assured that as sure as God is in your present and past, He is surely in your future.  I have a poster on my refrigerator that says, “I am not afraid of tomorrow because I know that GOD is already there!”

LISTEN TO HIS VOICE

                                                             LISTEN TO HIS VOICE

The following are words of encouragement that I believe I received from the Lord at the beginning of this year.

January 9, 2021

“I will rebuke the devourer (devil) for your sake.  Though evil come upon the land, behold I Am inflicting wounds on the enemy.  Beware of the enemy’s tactics for I have seen and I know the beginning from the end.  Soar with Me as an eagle flies high above the storms of life.  I AM THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA.  Soar with Me above the storm.  Do not let the enemy scare or frighten you for I come on the wings of a dove, a dove of the Holy Spirit with healing in My wings; a salve to purify, heal and deliver My people.  So look up, be prepared, for I AM coming in the twinkling of an eye.”

January 19, 2021

“As surely as there is deception, there is truth.  As surely as there is darkness, there is light.  As surely as there is night, there is day.  As surely as there is evil, there is goodness.  As surely as there is war, there is peace.  As surely as there is weakness, there is might.  As surely as there is doubt, there is faith.  As surely as there is hunger, there is fullness.  As surely as there is death, there is life.  Seek life and peace and faith.  Seek God Who is the light in the darkness; the peace in the storm; the Alpha and the Omega; the Prince of Peace and the Lord of Lords!!  Choose life in My Son Jesus Christ!  He is the Truth!”

January 21, 2021

“Who will speak for Me?  Who will shout the victory?  Who was He Who opened up the Red Sea?  Who will speak for Me?  Who will join My cause?  Who will give Me pause?  Who will applaud the Victory, the Victory, the Victory!” (Note:  I believe that this was in reference to believing the prophets that have said that Donald Trump will have a 2^nd term (not in 2024).  God still speaks through His prophets.  If God has truly told you something then you need to believe it.  So many of the prophets that prophesied in the Old Testament never saw the fulfillment of their prophecies so we need to trust God and what He is saying NOW.)

January 24, 2021

“I am cleansing the earth.  I am bringing forth redemption and justice.  I AM HE WHO is doing it.  I have sent My fiery Angels of Justice to pluck the evil ones out as a bird plucks out the eyes of its prey.  For I the Lord will bring justice to the earth and I alone shall cleanse it for I AM HE WHO IS WHO WAS AND WHO WILL BE.  WATCH, PRAY AND HAVE FAITH.  I AM THE EAGLE AND I FLY HIGH ABOVE THE EARTH.  I AM HE.  I AM HE.  I AM HE.”

January 29, 2021

“We are in a time of reversal.  That which was will be and that which will be was.  The beginning and the end are a full circle.  The circle of My love began when the earth and the moon and the suns and the galaxies were created .  The circle of My love began at an instant of creation.  You say ‘how can it be, the beginning and the end?’  They will kiss and the ring will be a circle, a circle of love for My Bride, the Church.  You are My Beloved.  Enter the circle of My love, My Beloved.  Enter the circle of my love and you will be enveloped with My grace, My joy, My power and My love.  Enter into the circle of My love, My life, My peace, My strength and My joy.  Beloved, enter in.  Enter in.  Enter in.”  (Note: I believe that this refers to Revelation 22:1-5.)

Eden Restored

Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb ² down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. ³ No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. ⁴ They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. ⁵ There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.  Revelation 22:1-5 (NIV)

“The harvest is preparation for My great feast, The Feast of Tabernacles.  The feast of joy and comfort.  Come to the table being prepared for the Bride, My Church and the Bridegroom, Jesus Christ.  Come to the feast, the harvest of souls, souls for the Kingdom to partake in the great Marriage Feast of the Lamb, Come feast at the Table of the Lord, the Savior, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords---come.  So go into the fields for the gathering of the saints, the wheat, the harvest for the great Wedding Feast.  Come all who are hungry.  Come all who are weary.  Come all who are thirsty.  Come to the feast, the gathering is here, the gathering is near.  So come all, come all, come all.”

 

 

HALF EMPTY/HALF FULL

                                                       HALF EMPTY/HALF FULL

Is your glass half empty or half full?  Do you see your life perceiving the “half empty” glass or do you see it as “half full”? 

Most of us are thankful that 2020 is coming to a close.  This year was one of the most tragic, unpredictable, unforeseeable, heart wrenching year’s that no one could have imagined. 

As I look back over the years, I remember many joys and laughter mingled with sorrow and heartache.  I don’t think anyone of us can escape the trials that many times enter our own lives.  How we choose to deal with these trials can be an important antidote to being at peace in our own sphere as well as the world that is so chaotic. 

What will we choose this year?  Will we choose to trust in God who will carry our burdens or will we dwell on the past? 

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.  Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV)

But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.  Jeremiah 17:7-8 (NIV)

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.  Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV)

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.  Isaiah 43:2 (NIV)

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.  Romans 8:28 (NIV)

 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.  John 14:27 (NIV)

“Thou hast created us for thyself, and our heart is not quiet until it rests in Thee.” - St. Augustine

 “Inspirational Stories The Power of Words”

“Did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is approaching long before it breaks?

The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to come. When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm. While the storm rages below, the eagle is soaring above it.

The eagle does not escape the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift it higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm.

When the storms of life come upon us – and all of us will experience them – we can rise above them by setting our minds and our belief toward God. The storms do not have to overcome us. We can allow God’s power to lift us above them.

God enables us to ride the winds of the storm that bring sickness, tragedy, failure and disappointment in our lives. We can soar above the storm.

Remember, it is not the burdens of life that weigh us down, it is how we handle them.”

Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.  They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:30-31 (NIV)

Let God fill your cup to overflowing as only He can.  Only God can heal any wounds that you carry in your heart.  He will fill you with His peace, joy, strength, and faith that is beyond your own understanding.  

If you choose to fly above the storm and allow God to fill you to overflowing, you will experience peace and have a different vantage point allowing you to see the glass half full knowing that God is in control.
