Tribute to My Mother, Helen Marie

Her first name means “torch,” “shining one.” Her middle name means “star of the sea.” Many are blessed to know the immense joy and comfort that is experienced when provided constant assuring love by our mothers. My mother graduated from this earth when I was a teenager. While here, she was a precious jewel who shone brightly in the lives of her children and others who were fortunate to enjoy her presence. Mama left no doubt that she was a treasure of love. Truly, there were countless moments when I felt the realness of her beautiful soul, the loving and protective embraces from her tender arms, the necessary discipline from her places of wisdom, and her clear messages to folks when they violated her boundaries of what was acceptable relative to engagement with her children. To me, she aced the role of motherhood. Thank you, Mama!

My mother’s signature style was to give unselfishly even to those who took her kindness for granted. With all that she endured, she remained an optimist. My heart swells with immense gratitude to God for the cherished gift of my beloved mother, Helen Marie. Indeed, she lived up to the meanings of her names “torch,” “shining one,” and “star of the sea.” Blaze on, Mama, blaze on. Truly, you are a star. It’s my joyous pleasure to be of your beautiful bloodline.

Digest 1 - War Call

War call to whosoever is chosen to be warriors for the most High GOD. What time is it? Time to elevate our games.

We're not of the fainthearted persuasion nor are we unbalanced in our spiritual operations. We have the attributes of the Lion and the Lamb. It's vital that we execute in the right modes at the right times.

More new breed warriors are on the horizon poised to pounce and to dismantle the principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, and spiritual wickedness in high places. We’re not to tiptoe around issues, or soft pedal the gospel of the kingdom of GOD. We’re to give full blown truth messages that leave pronounced and lasting fire trails. Yes, we are to love but love ain't no wimp.

We’re chosen to go full throttle against darkness and perversion. We are to boldly do the Words of God with fearless tenacious purpose. We are to back the devil down NOT allow Him to back us down. The Holy Bible commands us to stand and having done all - to stand. We are forbidden to cower or to beg Satan for anything.

Our mission is to possess the kingdom of Almighty GOD in order to dispossess the devil, destroy the works of the devil, to pull down demonic strong holds, and to subdue evil actions.

Satan is not shooting blanks. Neither are we. We have glory weapons. Satan does NOT possess our elite holy Special Forces equipment. We have the edge and the advantage because what we're packing has GOD'S seal of approval. The Holy Ghost arsenal that we possess is a major threat to the kingdom of darkness. We use our ammunition to fire bomb the devil with supernatural precision and skills.

Load up storehouses with more holy fire power. Keep watch. Discern, and dissolve doubts. Show up to blow up with the wholly effective and electrifying power of GOD!

We're new breed holy warriors. A mean fighting machine. We mean to conquer and advance to gain more holy ground for our Lord, the God of forces. - Daniel 11:38.

It's on record, Satan; you've been put on notice that we're no longer about business as usual. We've elevated our game... - damned devil.

2 Thessalonians 2:12 - That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

1 Samuel 17:45 - This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.

Digest 2 - GOD Enters and Exits in Win Mode

As I read the Holy Bible this morning, I thought something like, “Lord, in the entire content of Your Bible, there is no battle that You didn't impressively win.”

The Word of GOD has plenty of fighting going on, especially illustrated in the Old Testament. Yes, indeed, a whole lot of fighting going on but GOD always triumphs!

All types of characters made choices to take on the Most High GOD. People such as Pharaoh, Jezebel, Goliath, Tobiah, and Haman all foolishly fought against GOD. They made threats and vigorously fought against the purposes of our Lord. Numerous kings defied and attacked what He destined. The Philistines, Pharisees, Hittites, Ammonites, and the Moabites, among other enemies of GOD, opposed but couldn't stop the Almighty Creator.

Our Lord humiliated, subdued, and utterly destroyed His enemies. It's excellent medicine for our souls to read of the assorted ways that GOD defeated His enemies. How great that He continues to gain astounding wins. There are no low profile righteous victory accounts shown in the Bible. GOD reveals His triumphs with flourish and major attitude.

The devil shows off. GOD delights in showing ON. And it's so encouraging to know that our Lord is not a respecter of persons. He respects holiness.

Colossians 3:25 - But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

In 2 Samuel 12: 11, 12, after David committed his secret sin, the Lord told David, a man after GOD's heart, these words:

Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house,... For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel,...

And what about what Paul said in The Acts 16:37?

But Paul said unto them, “They have beaten us openly uncondemned being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.”

The Acts 26:26 - For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.

No, folks, GOD isn't a corner loving GOD. He delights in being on display - showing ON! His victories are unfailingly impressive with certain flourish. And the means that He uses - such genius and variety. Conventional methods aren't His signature style.

In 1 Samuel 17, Goliath “prophesied” to David about how he was going to give his flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field. Well, we know what David said and did. He boldly proclaimed prophetic truth that came to pass in spectacular fashion.

1 Samuel 17:45, 46 - Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.

Yes, our Lord loves having His name in the news accompanied by victory reports.

Our Father expects us to live holy and to walk in steadfast victories. To do otherwise is to give victories to the devil - for he loves when we surrender to his evil and deceptive agenda.

When we cleave to GOD, we deal devastating blows to the dominion of Satan. We’re appointed to destroy the works of the devil and when we walk in the Spirit that’s precisely what we do.

GOD comes in winning and He leaves winning. He enters and exits in win mode - EVERY TIME - and so can we, as we wholly trust and utterly obey Him.

Hail to the Most High Holy GOD!

Digest 3 - Egypt-itis - A Stroll Down Exodus Lane

I go on record to confess that I’ve been afflicted, from time to time, with the dis-ease of Egypt-itis - you know the place where we “wish” that the Lord had let us stay in “Egypt.” We “stroll” down memory lane and remember when we did this or that, had this that or the other, went wherever, and were with him, her, and them. We even go so far sometimes as to deceive ourselves to believe that those were the good old days. Yeah, right!

Today, to help me here, our Lord led me to His Word. There He reminded me of the Israelites who became afflicted with Egypt-itis. This is a stroll down Exodus lane which ends in the book of Joshua.

In Exodus 3:7, the Lord tells Moses that He knows of the sorrows of the Israelites. The Lord goes on to share with Moses in Exodus 3:8, “And I am come down to deliver them…” That’s great wonderful news. In verse 12, the Lord assures Moses, “...Certainly I will be with thee,...” Those are comforting words indeed to hear from Almighty GOD.

We stroll further to Exodus 4:29 where Moses and Aaron gather “together all the elders of the children of Israel” and in verse 30 and 31, Moses and Aaron “spake all the words which the Lord had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.” “And “the people believed” - “then they bowed their heads and worshipped.” So far so good.

Here the plot thickens. In Exodus 5:7, we read, “Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.” We travel on to Exodus 6:9 where it states of the Israelites, “...but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.”

This has shifted. We just finished where the people believed and bowed their heads and worshipped. What has happened to these foolish Israelites?! The same thing that sometimes happens to us - saved, sanctified, “I love you, JESUS,” - saints of GOD. Lord, please help us all to keep our minds stayed on You.

Okay, let me get back on this stroll down Exodus lane. Fast forward to Exodus 14:10, “And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the Lord.”

Huh?! The Israelites witnessed all of the signs, wonders, and plagues from GOD back in Egypt - and then they became afraid that the enemy was in pursuit of them?! What were they thinking? Probably some of the same things that we think when we allow ourselves to fear when we know that GOD has not given us a spirit of fear.

In Exodus 14:12, the Israelites say to Moses, “Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians than that we should die in the wilderness.”

Now skip to Exodus 15:1. Here the children of Israel sing a song of triumph unto the Lord. Later in the same chapter, verse 24, the people murmur against Moses for lack of water. Add further insult in Exodus 16:3 where the children of Israel speak to Moses and Aaron, “And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.” Are all of these different choices reflective of double-mindedness or what?! Lord, please help us all!

Now the stroll leads to Exodus 32 where the children of Israel tell Aaron in Exodus 32:1, “...Up, make us gods,...” The result was a golden calf. They have really lost their minds now! Does that remind us of anyone - hint: in the mirror.

When Moses questions Aaron, Aaron responds in verse, 24, “And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.”

Huh?! What was wrong with Aaron?! He was a Levite, and Moses' brother. The same brother who GOD appointed as “spokesman unto the people” - Exodus 4:16. Now Aaron knew better, right? So do we, yet...

The word of deliverance from the Lord came to the children of Israel but when persecution, tribulation, and inconveniences surfaced, many of them became fainthearted, and were smote by GOD in the wilderness. The land of milk and honey was much desired but many failed to press on to “pass over unto the other side” - Mark 4:35.

For purposes, I will stroll from the Old to the New - the New Testament that is - and park awhile in Mark 4. In Mark 4:35, Jesus says to his disciples, “...Let us pass over unto the other side.” But before “the other side,” “there arose a great storm of wind and the waves beat into the ship so that it was now full.” - verse 37. The disciples woke up JESUS, verse 38, and asked, “Master, carest thou not that we perish?”

At this juncture, I’m strolling back over to the Old Testament. All of the children of Israel left Egypt but all didn’t enter the promised land. But Oh Hallelujah! - there are two, in particular, who did - Joshua and Caleb. One of my favorite scriptures about Caleb is Numbers 13:30, “And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.” That sounds like warrior talk to me - Yes!

These conclusion scriptures “speak” about Joshua and Caleb:

Numbers 14:6 - And Joshua son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land,...

Numbers 14:8 - If the Lord delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.

Numbers 14:24 - But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.

Joshua 14:8 - Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the Lord my God.

Joshua 14:9 - And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance, and thy children's for ever, because thou hast wholly followed the Lord my God.

Joshua 14:12 - Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the Lord spake in that day;...

We are wise to remember how our Lord responded to the murmuring and complaining of the children of Israel. 2 Corinthians 13:2, “...I will not spare:...”

And - Glory to GOD - how our Lord responded about Caleb in Numbers 14:24, “...hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land...”

Finally, let us say as did Caleb in Joshua 14:12, “Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the Lord spake in that day;...”

Digest 4 - Anointed without Holiness

First of all, it needs to be certainly clear that, in human form, there is NOTHING better than a HOLY anointing from the Most High GOD. When holy anointing is in place, power and glory flows and the impact is hugely potent. On this earth, the highest realm is the glory realm. People in the glory realm glow with shines representative of intimacy with GOD. Exodus 34:30, “And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone;…” The holy anointing cannot be faked. The only way to steadfastly flow in it is to totally abide in and dwell in GOD. Glory realm power comes from consistent investment in the Lord and being deeply purposed to heed His Words and the leading of His Spirit. When we diligently seek the Lord, we mature in Him. GOD is the Mastermind, the Master Planner and the Master Builder. We should aim, in earnest, to keep ourselves rooted and grounded in our Lord. Good success is the certain result, according to the Holy Scriptures. Joshua 1:8 is an excellent reference for that truth.

Glory realm dwellers have intense love, power, and discernment. People in that realm can often recognize the counterfeit. Hebrews 5:14, “But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.” Satan knows us. The Acts 19:15, “And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know;…”

Yes, there can be anointing WITHOUT holiness. There is a major difference between holy anointing and unholy anointing. Unholy anointed leaders/people can indeed be used by GOD to win souls, etc. What unholy anointed people don’t have is intimacy with GOD. They have, for the most part, GOD as an acquaintance. Intimacy is a vital ingredient in order to have friendship with GOD. Holy anointing is reserved for those who have intimacy with our Lord.

GOD can anoint anyone to accomplish what He needs done for the advancement of His kingdom. In the book of Isaiah, it tells that GOD anointed a heathen king, Cyrus - Isaiah 45:1-4. The Lord said to Cyrus that He'd anointed him even “…though thou hast not known me.” GOD told Pharaoh that he'd raised him up - Exodus 9:16. GOD hardened Pharaoh's heart for GOD'S purposes. He used Pharaoh’s hardness...for an appointed time…than judgment came mightily against Pharaoh.

Years ago, when I worked in government, it was obvious to others that I had a relationship with our Lord. A woman who worked in the building with me had some business engagements with me, as our offices had needs to work together.

The subject woman came to me one day and stated that she'd been sleeping with her pastor but that she no longer desired to do so. She stated that he kept pressuring her and she desired that he stop. I asked her if she'd been to the church leadership about the issue. She stated yes but that they weren’t inclined to deal with it. She asked me to help her.

I don’t recall if she offered me the pastor’s phone number to call him or if our Lord told me to ask her for the phone number. Anyhow, I got the number from her and phoned the pastor that evening. He was belligerent in his denial, and hung up on me. When I phoned back, he didn't answer.

Less than two weeks later, I spoke to my dear Christian mentor. She told me that she'd attended a wait for a murdered pastor. I asked her his name. She told me. It was the same pastor who'd been sleeping with the woman on my job. My mentor and I were tripped out!

Was the said pastor anointed? Likely, yes, but at the appointed time, GOD allowed him to be murdered because he ceased to stop his iniquity. Anointed with consequences...

Samuel told King Saul in 1 Samuel 15:28, “…The Lord hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, that is better than thou.” Yet, afterwards, the Lord rebuked David when he cut off Saul's skirt. 1 Samuel 24:5, “And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt.” And later David said about Saul in 1 Samuel 26:23, “...I would not stretch forth mine hand against the Lord's anointed.”

People can forsake HOLY anointing through steadfast iniquity. Yes, we all sin and come short of GOD'S glory but lifestyle sinning isn't the same. There are judgments from GOD when we practice disobedience against Him. Steadfast rebellion against GOD costs with unpleasant consequences. David was anointed but judged/punished by GOD. Samson was anointed but judged/punished by GOD. Moses was anointed but not allowed into the promised land.

Psalm 66:18 - If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:

Revelation 2:5 - Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

Samson lost his holy anointing, I believe, as mentioned in this passage: Judges16:20, “And he wist not that the Lord was departed from him.” And then later when Samson prayed to the Lord, GOD anointed him with supernatural strength to bring down the pillars that fell and killed Samson and the folks that GOD destined to perish. Samson killed more people at his death than in his life - Judges 16:29, 30.

In 1 Samuel 28:15, Saul said to Samuel, “...God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams:...”

We walk in GOD'S HOLY anointed form when we abide in and dwell in Him by doing the best that we know how to totally follow, trust and obey Him. GOD knows the depths of all hearts. He has expectations of us all. We need to seek Him for what His expectations are of us as individuals and as a collective body of Christ.

We learn more of GOD through spending, AT LEAST, daily quality time with Him in prayer, in His Holy Bible and with praise and worship actions. GOD is a spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. Our Lord delights in such sincerity and diligence.

Joshua 1:8 - This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Psalm 1:2 - But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

Digest 5 - Relevant

A pastor stated that the Lord spoke to him and expressed that if his church isn’t relevant it will continue to be ignored. The pastor has a sizable church. He stated that after that word from the Lord he went on a mission to make his church relevant.

Also, I heard something to the effect - “If your church decided to leave the community would there be a rallying from the community to keep it there?” In other words, if your church left, would it, for the most part, be missed?

That made me think - how are we as Christians relevant today? One pastor stated that he told a pastor friend, “If you were in the seventies, you would be cutting edge.” We need to be current with the times without changing the message of the gospel. How are we relevant, people?

We should be anointed, authorized and powered by GOD as true worshippers who are change agents, innovators, developers of witty inventions, prosperous entrepreneurs, etc. who impact.

Christian Judge Penny once cleaned in the building where she became a judge. Hallelujah! Praise our Lord. She testified of how our Lord uses her because of her faithful service to Him. She’s been a contributor on CNN and there are a host of other things that she does. Clearly, she is relevant for the kingdom of GOD.

A HOLY anointed janitor can be relevant as can a dishwasher or maid. It’s not the natural profession or job that is the vital ingredient. It’s the condition of the heart. Our duty is to be willing and obedient to what GOD elects.

The prophet Amos was a farmer - he was relevant. David was a shepherd - he was relevant. Queen Esther was relevant for such a time as this... - Esther 4:14.

GOD expects His people to do as according to The Acts 17:6! The Acts 17:6 - ...These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;

Spiritually profitable actions, for the most part, cannot be done without love as a base because without love we are nothing. We need to overflow with the fruits of the Spirit as defined in Galatians 5:22 and seek to righteously use the gifts of the Spirit. Only then can GOD trust us to use us to turn the world upside down.

1 Timothy 3:15 - But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

Romans 6:12 - Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

Romans 6:13 - Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

Romans 6:14 - For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

Joshua 1:8 - ...and then thou shalt have good success.

...otherwise we cannot be relevant!

Digest 6 - What Channel?

Some of us are old enough to remember when, on TV in the USA, there were only three networks, ABC, NBC and CBS. And when all programming on said stations was rated G. Also, there was a time when PG material didn't air until 10 p.m. My, how things have changed.

Whose channel do I primarily watch now? My favorite channel is GOD. One definition for channel is “the passage of information,” - Source: The New Oxford American Dictionary. Also, water channels. Our GOD’S Word says that He is a “fountain of living waters” - Jeremiah 2:13. John 7:38 says that out of our bellies “shall flow rivers of living water.”

GOD’S channel is rated G. How great that G-O-D is rated G. Always right, just, pure, and good. Ah! How refreshing. Thank You, Lord.

How do we continue on the holy frequencies? Stay tuned to the PREMIUM channel. The GOD broadcasts have 100% accuracy rates and when storms come, the channel airs without screen fuzziness. It has perfect pitch, excellent hosts, and star power galore. The GOD programming is consistently of the highest quality with reward offers for good behavior. It does wholesome benefit concerts. The dance moves on this channel flow in liquid love motions.

GOD’S channel doesn't pitch products. It promotes HIM on resounding levels. Yes, 3D is in the mix. On this channel, 3D means 3 dimensions, FATHER, SON, AND HOLY GHOST. The trio is the highest in ratings. In truth, it’s off the charts. Nobody can cancel GOD’S programming - plus, He has no blackouts. And, get this, subscribers and potential subscribers! - There’s no hiatus for this everlasting POWER house. For sure, this isn't plain TV or basic cable. This is the uttermost connection with no gimmicks or shady deals. Choose the BEST, people. Enjoy the views!

The schedule today on the GOD channel has these seven great features:

Hebrews 7:25 - Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

Mark 6:20 - For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.

Proverbs 28:13 - He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

1 John 5:9 - If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.

Matthew 18:20 - For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

1 Kings 18:27 - And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.

1 John 2:14 - ...because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

Digest 7 - Social Networking Scenes

Scene 1

Darrell is on the phone with Millicent.

Darrell: You know I love you, right?

Millicent: Yes – I love you, too.

Darrell: Hey, let’s go to the Bing concert this weekend.

Millicent: Sure, I’m game.

Call waiting beeps on Darrell’s line.

Darrell: Hold on, baby, I’ve got another call.

Darrell: Hello

GOD: Hello, Darrell, this is GOD.

Darrell: Hi, GOD – let me call You back, I’m on another line.

GOD: I know that you’re on another line. You need to, rather, call Millicent back.

Darrell: God, she and I are in the midst of making Bing concert plans for this weekend.

GOD: I know what you’re doing. I AM in the midst of it all.

Darrell clicks GOD off and returns to resume his conversation with Millicent.

What! Darrell hung up on GOD?!

Scene 2

Sheila is in a chat room on the Internet.

GOD interrupts and asks that she come chat with Him.

Sheila: Lord, right now this chat is intense. It’s not a good time to log off.

GOD: I AM the most intense of all that exists.

Sheila: Lord, I know but….

GOD grieves as He leaves the scene.

Scene 3

Michael is having a lively time with his many friends on Casebook.

JESUS requests some face time.

JESUS: Michael, I can be your Friend that is closer than a brother.

Michael doesn’t even bother to answer JESUS. He continues his Casebook activities.

JESUS weeps – and departs.

Scene 4

Linda is engaged on Quick Messaging when GOD interrupts and requests that she log off and log on with Him.

Immediately, Linda informs her QM buddies that she’s got to go because GOD has requested her attention.

They try to persuade her to put GOD off until later.

She lovingly but firmly tells them again that she’s got to go.

Her buddies continue in their attempts to keep her on QM.

She logs off from them and goes to her Father, Almighty GOD.  Her Lord will NOT be kept waiting – no way!

Scene 5

Kelly is on InkedIn to make some business connections.

GOD asks her to link in with Him.

Kelly: GOD, I’ll get with You later. There’s an important business connection here that just cannot wait.

GOD: Kelly, how important am I?

Kelly looks sorry but she’s not sorry enough to cease her agenda for the business of the Greatest One.

Scene 6

William gets up to prepare for his day. Time with GOD is NOT a priority.

GOD asks him to pray and to read His Word.

William: I will, Lord, after I check my e-mails.

GOD: That is NOT acceptable to me, William. Is e-mail your first love?

William: No, Lord.

GOD: Why, then, are you inclined to check e-mails before you spend time with Me?

William repents and proceeds to spend quality time with the Lord.

Scene 7

Caroline is on Sharespace to update her profile information.

GOD calls her away to attend to His needs.

Caroline: GOD, I’m almost through here. I’ll be with You in a bit.

GOD: Now is the time, Caroline, for Me.

Caroline looks annoyed.

Caroline: I’ll hurry this up.

GOD: Now is the time.

Caroline stays on Sharespace to get her profile done.

GOD leaves her to her devices.

The Aftermath:

- Darrell – he hung up on GOD, remember? – has a job crisis that prompts him to call on GOD. When he does, however, his attitude is cavalier and not anywhere near close to recognition of the need to reverence Almighty GOD.

GOD puts Darrell on hold – until….

- Michael – the Casebook devotee – due to a family emergency, petitions JESUS.

JESUS: Michael, you’re not in my Case Book. Weeks ago, you refused Me entry while you engaged your many Casebook “friendlies.”

Michael weeps…

- Kelly is deep into InkedIn.  She makes an excellent connection that she pursues with vigor. The business that has her rapt attention is, Love Dove. It’s a travel agency.

Love Dove responds to Kelly: We’re linked into JESUS, are you?

Kelly is stunned as she remembers - her visit from GOD….

- GOD delightfully tells William and Linda: Thank you, for choosing MY SPACE – certainly, you shall reap what you sow – life more abundantly and peace galore.

As for the others, GOD may call on them later…perhaps He will get through – on the MAIN LINE.

Digest 8 - Launch out into the Deep

GOD says:

I’ve anointed and appointed you as Holy Ghost rocket launchers. Launch out into the deep and go about as My ministers who are flames of fire. Every one of My children has a ministry that is to impact on holy levels. Half stepping is NEVER in My game plan. Full throttle gusto is the name of My game. I can play soft ball, hard ball and all of the other balls. Take Me out to the ball games and watch Me win EVERY TIME.

Blow up with Me, My people. Show up to blow up in the dynamic name of JESUS. You’re assigned to be transformers for Me, the consuming fire. Burn brightly, shine forth, and explode with holy brilliance. Stand therefore with your loins girded about with truth, having on the breastplate of righteousness, and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. The shield of faith certainly allows you to quench ALL the fiery darts of the wicked. And wield My sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of GOD. My Word is quick and powerful and sharper than any twoedged sword, and it is a discerner.

Don’t faint and don’t shrink from the onslaughts of Satan. Keep him in his place, which is under your feet. Be assured that I will fully support you on the battlefields of life. When you steadfastly abide in Me, the battles are NOT yours but Mine. And surely, the record shows that there is NO battle that I have not won. From the beginning I AM wins and I don’t stop winning. All who team with Me, the Most High, certainly win, as well.

Luke 5:4 - …Launch out into the deep,…

Hebrews 1:7 - …his ministers a flame of fire.

Hebrews 12:29 - For our God is a consuming fire.

John 5:35 - He was a burning and a shining light:…

Psalm 80:1 - …shine forth.

Luke 18:1 - …men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

Ephesians 1:22 - And hath put all things under his feet,…

2 Chronicles 20:15 - …Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours but God’s.
