Day 5 Repenting

So on Day 5 we began the day with the prayer point of repenting for the innocent bloodshed that we as a nation have shed over the past 39 years that abortion has been legal.  Over 54 million babies murdered in their mothers wombs has brought bloodguilt upon America, and for the shedding of innocent blood God requires blood.

“Whoever sheds man’s blood,

By man his blood shall be shed;   
For in the image of God He made man." 

 Genesis 9:6

Tenille, Beloved Redeemed of the Lord

Tenille shared her testimony of having an abortion at age 18, and finding out at the abortion clinic that Planned Parenthood had forgot to mention her positive pregnancy test showed she would have had twins.  Her life continued in guilt, anger, shame, and substance abuse.  In her low self-esteem she allowed herself to be in an abusive relationship, and behaved in dangerous & irrational ways daily.  She expressed all her woes as being symptoms of post-abortive trauma that millions never deal with.  Finally, she returned like the 'prodigal' daughter to her true Father, God.  She allowed Jesus' blood to speak mercy and redemption over her sin of bloodshed, and free her from the bonds of wicked mindsets & actions.  God brought her home with open arms and took away a desire to self-destruct; replacing it with a desire to see Him make all things new out of the ashes of her life.  

 Tenille and her son

This story is very similar to mine, and so many women out there who have had abortions and found the only answer to break free from the darkness is to turn to the Light, His name is Jesus, the Christ, our Savior.  The only way our country will be pardoned from the guilt of our innocent bloodshed is to post the blood of Jesus all over the doorsteps of this country.  God's 'passover Lamb' who was slain before the foundations of this world, is the predestined pardon that washes us white as snow, but we must apply Jesus' blood.  We must plead His blood.  Our fear of God has to be real in our hearts that we would actively cling to, rely on, and trust in the blood of Jesus as our only hope day by day.

I met a guy the other day who grew up being a leader in the youth group at church, and then he described to me how after a while he was just 'done'; ready for someone else to lead.  Now he doesn't even go to Christian church.  So many of us have grown up and seen the compromise, doubt, and faithlessness of the church, and are now cold to lukewarm ourselves.  I have been struggling myself with keeping up with the prayers I've committed to pray and lifestyle of 'watching' for my Lord Jesus' soon return.  Can we live everyday in the urgency of the hour?  Only by being as close as God wants us to be to Him (and He wants to be very, very, close...living on the inside!)  Knowing that the Kingdom of God is at hand is not enough to keep living a lifestyle as a disciple of Christ, who makes disciples, who is a witness of His love and redemption.  The disciples knew, because John the Baptist and Jesus preached, "Repent! for the Kingdom of God is at hand!" and the disciples also knew another motivation...JESUS.  

We must know God's message, His word, what He is saying, and has said, YES...but we must also know who we are waiting for...JESUS.  Those who did not meet Jesus personally where introduced to His Holy Spirit when they received salvation, and so are we.  We must talk to Holy Spirit and get to know our Lord Jesus so that we can have a relationship with God, not a distant plan of obedience that earns our way to 'paradise' and out of eternal fire.  We will burn out in doing good unless we partner with Holy Spirit, the closeness of God inside of us, the living God on the inside of us, Jesus in us.  

Day 5 we also passed the Sam Houston statue

²⁰ “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; ²¹ that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.²² And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: ²³ I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.
²⁴ “Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. ²⁵ O righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me. ²⁶ And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”  John 17

This is how we know the love of God, that Christ died for us, and God sent His Holy Spirit to help us; revealing to us the true nature & personality of God.  This truth is undeniable, irresistible, and fills us with energy to persevere through it all even to the end.  

God thank You for sending Your Spirit, baptize us with fire, that we may know You, others can see and know You too.  Jesus we plead Your blood over our sins and the sins of our nation!  God we repent and turn to You alone, our Savior!  Set our hearts ablaze with the eternal love You freely give to those who believe in You! Come, Jesus, come Lord!  Spring up a well within my soul, within the soul of our nation; make us whole again, make us love You again, help us trust in Your word and obey Your good commands.  Have mercy on us God!  We choose Your love, Your ways, Your salvation, Lord Jesus!  Pour out Your Spirit on all flesh!  Help us God!

Support Me to DC

BACK TO LIFE has been given another mission. 39 women who walked from Houston to Dallas to end abortion are now GOING TO THE SUPREME COURT IN WASHINGTON DC to pray with the authority that God has given us as a group to uphold a standard of LIFE in our nation. 

Supreme Court Justices are deciding weather or not to allow Obamacare to cause the biggest expansion of abortion in America, but we believe that God is using the prayers of His people to be the arrows that shoot down this death decree. 

I NEED YOU to support me, to PARTNER with me to pray that our nation would stop spilling blood, and start crying out for mercy and revival! You can sow into the pro-life prayer movement financially & help buy my plane ticket by donating thru my paypayl on my bloghttp://sacha-love.blogspot.com/ THANK YOU

Day 4 Rainy-day #1

Me, Alisha, Angela

Security Mark & Tim

Our first rainy day: Day 4 of our 21 day walk.  We split up into 3 groups of ladies, and covered about 3 miles each.  Our security guard briefed us of what to do in case of lightening, & tornadoes, and made sure we were all prepared to be safe walkers.  I am so thankful for our security guards that accompanied us along our walk.  God really used them to keep us safe, and they were in turn blessed by their role as 'papa's to us, always stepping in when a strange man or dog would get a little too close to us ladies.  We were so blessed by the body of Christ along the way.  

I command my feet to praise the Lord!

On day four we also experienced our first massage treat!  A blessed young woman gave 10 minute massages for about 4 hours straight!  She was such a blessing to us, but like all the others who poured into our journey, she was in turn blessed by serving the Back to Life women.  I am blessed looking back and seeing from an afterward perspective the determination, the toughing it out, the going low, and the faith that was in each of us as we kept walking on day after day.  Despite blisters, sore knees, ankles, shins, arches, and backs; despite negative questions from friends or family, and attacks of our thoughts from the lying enemy; the Back to Life walkers, who were chosen for such a time as this, we kept on walking, and walking and walking.  I did not have it in my mind that I could not finish, I knew God had spoken to me that I would finish the walk, but how He would accomplish that in me I did wonder how!?  I had already had trouble with my arches even before starting training, but the amazing things was that God led me to the right shoes & insoles, and He was faithful to keep my body healthy and strong for the whole time!  I am so thankful because I could not have finished strong without God's help.  He kept each one of us safe, and at the same time ministered to our hearts to bring forth a more vibrant love and faith in Jesus.  

Group 1

It's funny how we had severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings on Day 4 but with no actual tornados...little did we know a couple weeks later we would face twin tornados entering Dallas county.  I'll tell you more about that experience later!

Day 3 Let Me See

BTL walkers 1st day leaving press conference

I've been watching the Back to Life Movement archives online, starting from the 1st day.  They all are so amazing the 39 women who walked these 250 miles from Houston to Dallas.  Each of them has such a deep conviction to stand up and proclaim LIFE over our nation.  Each woman greatly desires to make her voice, how abortion, being legal for the past 39 years in America has affected them.  The power of the stories we tell in the videos will go on impacting lives for a long time.
See Angela's post-abortive story. See Jesus healing her heart.
When the book of remembrance is opened in Heaven, God will see each BTL video and glory will be given to His Son Jesus!  This is why we walked so far, that His glory would cover the earth.  That each step would break the ground that death has gained in our nation, and LIFE would be released by our obedience to the Lord to walk.
Visit Back to Life Movement online for more info and videos
We are calling America BACK to Life.  Each of the 39 walkers has returned to their homes, and we have began to adjust to daily responsibilities, but our hearts still burn with a prayer.... GOD END Abortion!

Identifying with silence

who cannot speak up & ask to live.
Silent Siege, prayer at clinic

I personally have had the opportunity to re-start a Bound4LIFE Chapter here in Las Vegas, and I am praying also about a venue to establish a house of prayer next to a pregnancy center (where I am going to volunteer) and next to an abortion clinic where I had my own child murdered in my womb.  The horror of sin and death will be overcome by the pleading of the Blood of Jesus, and the prayers will arise continually, filling the bowls in heaven.  Our God sees, He hears, and He will act on behalf of the poor and needy, and those lost like sheep without a shepherd.  Jesus is the Good Shepherd, and we have so many testimonies from Back to Life Movement of how God has broken into hurting women's lives to bring purity, hope, and healing.  We give glory to Our God, for He is truly good to all!

BTL girls in prayer in hotel room

I feel I must walk it out before I can have a ministry or house of prayer, and so I am asking God to fill me with His burdens, and let me pray what He is praying for such a time as this. I am Your house of prayer now Lord!  Let Your Spirit fill me, I am Your temple, come live and abide in me, as I abide in You, Jesus.  God has plans that are good for our future, and the fear of the Lord will clean us as we cling to the finished work of the Cross.  I so desire to have a vibrant prayer life, and be mighty in the scriptures.  The bible is the tool God used to wash me clean and I know that is true for so many others.  Prayer has brought me into deeper knowledge and experiences as I enjoy God in a personal relationship.  God is alive, and I want to be His witness as I live these 70+ years on earth.  Lord Jesus let me be faithful as You were faithful to show us the Father.
So I open up my heart for God's Holy Spirit to move me to my knees, that I would find His heart and agree with Jesus' continual intercession.  I ask for diligence in studying the Word of God, and wisdom in time management to allow for extended times of simply talking with God, listening to Him, and obeying as I hear.  There is no greater joy than the nearness of the Lord; in His presence is fullness of joy!

as she calls America Back to life

Now, I also pray now that men would also arise and let their voices be heard, as women are beginning to do; telling the truth about the pain and regret of choosing to kill our children.  The post-abortion counseling we walkers went through is called Healing Hearts, and they have healing courses for post abortive men and women.  Please check out their website and do a course; find healing, and let God restore what the enemy has stolen; and what the devil meant for evil God will use for good.  Raise up your voice, and let your pain bring the rain of God's Spirit of comfort and healing, as He raises up fathers and mothers dedicated to the Author of Life, Jesus Christ, and it is in His name I Pray.  Amen

Day 2 Church First

Leah & Nate Nelson

Day 2 of the walk, Back to Life Movement, and all of us girls were still getting to know each other, and find a good routine.  The first day we had stopped every mile or so and took a break, which was not the best plan since it ended up taking 6 hours to walk 12 miles.  On the second day we had refined the plan and the water was in the security vehicle, along with snacks we could grab out of the back window.  Julia Palermo or Heather Brown, or some lovely staff member would also ride in the security vehicle to help anyone in need.  The other vehicles in our system included the front vehicle, driven by Nate Nelson, Leah, our physical trainer & co-walker, her husband.  The back vehicle was driven by Dale, who runs the national helpline for abortion recovery.  He heard about the walk needing a rear car 2 days before we started walking, made his own 'Pedestrians Ahead' sign, and drove from Arkansas to Houston.  His wife is also really nice, and works with him on the helpline; we had the privilege of finally meeting her at the Esther Call after hearing so many wonderful things about her on the rides back to the hotels.  I am so blessed by the support staff and the support families that were a seriously important part of our Back to Life team.  We could not have made it without the wonderful support.  My thanks and love goes out to all those who helped us along the way!

Security Mark and the girls

David Allen, Shofar guy

 As you saw in the video above, we had a supporter with a shofar, blowing it along our walks.  David Allen followed us blowing the horn for about the first week of our walk.  He gave us all personalized autographed copies of his book, Horn of Samuel, Heaven's Trumpet Call of Liberty to Those Hurt by Abortion.  His story is amazing how he sounded the shofar in the Houston Planned Parenthood before it was opened as America's largest abortion clinic.  He had to stand trial for the charges and I still haven't finished the book, but I'll let you know later how it turns out.  He is post-abortive himself, and knows the pain and need for restoration.  Please check out his book if you get a chance.  

Then you saw the clip in my video where the girls were pouring water on their shoes and feet, it's because they had stepped in a big ant pile and the ants were crawling all over them!  Since Jehovah is our protector they got away without any harm, Praise God.  Bees also came to visit us one day, but only one girl got stung.  Dogs barked at us along the way, horses, donkeys, cows and birds lifted their voice too!  There were many things we learned along our walk, that made us become a well-oiled team walking through all kinds of terrain and weather as I'll tell you about later on.             

Leah (trainer), me, Laura (founder)

 Looking back now it's so amazing that in only 21 days we accomplished so much with so little.  God is the Lord of the Breakthrough and we know He has proved faithful to us.  Today I saw some fruit of our prayers to bring America back to life in my home church in Las Vegas.  Our head pastor has approved a young woman to train up a team of post-abortive counselors and offer the ministry by announcing it from the platform!  No longer will the church have to suffer in silence, but many women can come out and have their voices heard, unto healing and restoration.  It is such a good thing what God has done to make a way for us to come unto Him! Sinners, brokenhearted, poor, needy, rich, prideful...we all have fallen short of God's glory plan for our lives but He does not leave us as orphans.  Father God still greatly desires we all be a part of His family and share in the inheritance of Jesus, so therefore the Blood of the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world!  The good news is getting out there to a hurting generation, and I believe that when we plead the blood of Jesus, He will send revival.  Revival must start in the church.  Judgement comes to the church first, and we are to be God's witnesses to the ends of the earth, so we must set the standard of coming unto Christ in repentance.  We must let the world know that healing comes by accepting forgiveness, the finished work on the Cross. Praise God for sending His Son Jesus so that none should perish, but whoever believes in Him should have everlasting life!  LIFE!

Day 1 Forget Us

This video was from the first day walking with the Back to Life Movement.  We were walking through a 'bad' area of Houston's city and we had met many people along the way who were curious why 39 women would be wearing the same shirts, and walking in a line through the streets of their neighborhood.  Some of the ladies would tell them, "We are walking from Houston to Dallas, praying for the ending of abortion!"  When the onlookers would hear that they would sometimes not be able to get past the walking from Houston to Dallas part, saying, "What?! Really?! Wow! Ok?"  Other women would have a shock to their soul, as they would hear the word abortion, and suddenly remember their own.  I bet they were surprised that a group of women were taking such a stand to say, "Abortion is wrong, and it hurts women."  Maybe some of the women we passed by had never had anyone ever give the argument that abortion was not the best thing for women, and maybe they were never allowed to feel remorse for what they secretly regretted and grieved over in their hearts.  

Laura Allred, Doug Stringer, Leah Nelson pep talk

Losing a child is an obvious tragedy, but think about losing your child because you paid $400 dollars to have them killed.  Are you allowed to have sorrow for a choice you made?  Even if society says that you should not grieve the loss of an aborted child because it was your decision, the fact is that the way a women was created automatically demands sorrow for loss of her child.  A woman cannot conceive a baby, know it's inside of her, ready to grow and live, and then after it's aborted forget completely about what should have been.  God made woman to bring forth children, and be the protector, nurturer, and Mother for the baby.  When we fail to carry out this purpose it disrupts the divine balance of human nature, and causes disruption within the soul of woman.  

Dr. Alveda King encouraging us

How can this be?  How can our world stand by accepting the fact that 1 out of every 5 pregnancies end in abortion?  Is God surprised by this innocent bloodshed?  Is there any hope for the people of this modern world to turn and be reconciled to God?  Do we even want to change and become right with God?  We have killed God's children, created in His image, and called it a 'good' thing.  In the name of convenience and 'better off' decisions we have taken lives into our own hands, making ourselves out to be our own gods, giving and taking lives for social reasons...how can a society that does not protect their children be 'better off'?  Bloodguilt has now come upon 1 out of every 5 women, and there could not be the aborted child without the man who impregnated the woman...so there are actually 3 people affected by abortion, 2 continue to live affected by their choice, responsible for innocent bloodshed.  Can we ever be free again?  Is the punishment for the shedding of innocent blood irreconcilable?  How can God forget all the evil we have done?

Sing, O heavens!
Be joyful, O earth!
And break out in singing, O mountains!
For the Lord has comforted His people,
And will have mercy on His afflicted.

But Zion said, “The Lord has forsaken me,
And my Lord has forgotten me.”

“Can a woman forget her nursing child,
And not have compassion on the son of her womb?
Surely they may forget,
Yet I will not forget you.

Isaiah 49:13-15

There is only one way our world can be saved: the Lord's mercy.  I do not know how God could be so merciful to such evil people.  Being a post-abortive woman I speak from experience.  I know the pain, the shame, the sad regrets, the hopeless, worthless feelings that come after having an abortion.  I know that God sees everything plainly, and that He is holy.  I ran from Him, not believing in His mercy.  When finally I could not live with the darkness anymore, I stumbled across the bible, God's word.  It is truly living and active, and the truth of His love penetrates the darkness with light, and God's word becomes a new life filled with bright promises of good future.  

Our first of many, group photos: 39 walkers

God is not surprised by our sin; we usually have so much pride that we are surprised at our own sins.  The Lord is grieved by our sin, but He never forsakes us, and will not leave us as hopeless orphans.  He created us for a purpose, and to be in His family forever.  The depth of His mercy is that He allows us to choose our paths in life.  We can follow Him unto eternal life, or we can go the way of deception unto death by sin.  

Please hold onto His word, and study these truths diligently.  They alone can keep us steady and safe from falling into temptation.  God's mercy endures throughout our growing up into maturity and holiness.  By His Holy Spirit we can learn to walk in the spirit, and not in the flesh.  We have to be familiar with what God has promised us, and what a great inheritance we have as co-heirs with Christ.  

Papa Lou Engle

We are invited into a great treasure hunt of the knowledge of God.  This hunt will not only pay off in the end, but it now has great rewards: our minds renewed, our vision restored and enlarged, we become a new creation, and our destiny is secured for all eternity!   The only way to true freedom, is to be where the Spirit of the Lord is.  God, our Father, has loved us beyond what words can describe in giving His only Son to bleed and die on the cross for our sins.  He gave Jesus 2000+ years before I ever even killed my child!  His love breaks the boundaries of past, present, and future; and God's love is worthy of honor and respect.  I cannot imagine shunning such an intense love; and I know that no person could cause me to experience so great a love.  Humans forget one another, and have not compassion on each other, but God has never forgotten us!  The Lord our God is our Redeemer, who is Jesus, who always lives to make sure we live forever with Him.  Thank You Jesus

Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. 

Hebrews 7:25

PreWalk WalkOn

Andrea

LaSondra & Alice

I never would have thought I could be put with 38+ women and actually really deeply enjoy them, but God has done a true redemption and transformation in my heart over the past 5 years as I have given myself to His word and been obedient to His calling.  Today I am back in Las Vegas after having finished the Back to Life Movement walk on April 6th.  The above video is from before we started the walk, basically we had all just met each other and had no idea what we were about to go through.

Christina

My life has been forever impacted by this journey and I am so thankful for the women of God of Back to Life.  Tears I am holding back as I think about waking up everyday so far away from them, yet they are also tears of joy because God has brought us each to a higher level and called us to 'walk on' spreading His good news of life wherever we are.  This is only the beginning, rather than the end and I am more confident in the Lord's leadership than ever before.

Iman & Tennille

The beauty of God will go forth and His glory will cover the earth.  My hunger to be His messenger, to shine like stars with many saints, and to instruct many in these last days has increased exponentially.  I pray now that I will continue in diligence to search and seek for the knowledge of God as for hidden treasure and find the fear of the Lord.  I must gain wisdom and understanding of His ways, so whatever God has in store for me next: 'I say YES!'  Jesus is the only wise King, the only Trustworthy One, and He loves me through to the end of every trial, and I will love Him forever by His grace, and His Spirit will give me power in my inner man to do His will daily.  Thank You Lord that I can be Your witness!  Teach me Your beautiful ways, and reveal to me more and more of Your beautiful heart Father God.
I intend to review photos and events of the walk on my blog over the next few weeks, and  I pray God helps me to digest all that occurred and take me even deeper in His understanding.  Keep checking back for more review of my journey with Back to Life Movement.  God bless you

Props to God Vlog 3.9.12

Give God Praise!!!!!  Jesus is worthy to be praised, honored, glorified, and I bless His Holy name!  Thank You Father God for all good things You give to us!  Thank You for the trials too!  Thank You for being perfect Lord and loving us perfectly!  Praise the Lord our God, forever He is King of kings!

Joy of Salvation Vlog 3.7.12

It truly is a joy to know where you will spend all of eternity.  Jesus, our God has saved us by His work on the Cross, and we who believe will be with Him forever in 'Paradise'.  Now Paradise is wherever Jesus is and He is now seated at the right hand of of the Father in Heaven, but He will be coming again to bring His Kingdom to Earth.  Jesus will rule as King from Jerusalem, and all the nations will bring their wealth to Him, and every eye will see Him, every knee will bow and give Him glory.  So this is our Savior, Ruler of the World, humble Servant of All, who's very own blood paid for our redemption.  Who cannot rejoice?  Those who reject Jesus as their Savior and God, will not rejoice.  Therefore, let us cling to our God of all comfort, who has brought us into His Kingdom with love, compassion, and kindness.  Forever we will be treated like royalty, the Almighty God will provide for His believers all that we could ever need, and He will wipe every tear from our eyes, there will be no more sorrow, So REJOICE in the God of our Salvation!  JESUS

Get Faith Vlog 3.4.12

⁴³ Now a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any, ⁴⁴ came from behind and touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.
⁴⁵ And Jesus said, “Who touched Me?”
When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes throng and press You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’”
⁴⁶ But Jesus said, “Somebody touched Me, for I perceived power going out from Me.” ⁴⁷ Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before Him, she declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately.
⁴⁸ And He said to her, “Daughter, be of good cheer; your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”  -- Luke 8

Romans 10:17
So then faith comes by hearing, 
and hearing by the word of God.

⁵ By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. ⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

⁷ By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.  -- Hebrews 11

Be Big God

 Listen! It’s the voice of someone shouting,
   “Clear the way through the wilderness
      for the LORD!
   Make a straight highway through the wasteland
      for our God! .....(he is coming)
 “Shout that people are like the grass....The grass withers and the flowers fade, 
      but the word of our God stands forever."  -Is. 40:3, 7, 8 (added)


God is BIG! The Creator who is God, who is our Savior is Big.  Our Lord is Awesome! Full of wonder, power, authority, wisdom, and all truth.  There is none besides the Lord, who can answer all inquiries, who can bring an end to all questions.  There is no power, no person, no nation who can come up against God and defeat Him, or even weaken Him.  God is all powerful, all the time, full of might, never decreasing in strength and stamina! Trustworthy to His word and faithful to His people, Jesus is our God.


Who else has held the oceans in his hand?
      Who has measured off the heavens with his fingers?
   Who else knows the weight of the earth
      or has weighed the mountains and hills on a scale?  -Is. 40:12

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth... so He existed before the 'beginning'.  Can we expect to understand the maker of our thought makers? the Sculpture of our brains? shall we attempt to bring conclusion, and to rationalize the most powerful being who brought us each into existence, and the earth we live upon (which we cannot yet understand it all)?  I cannot grasp anything beyond my God-given comprehension, and only what my Maker reveals to me, teaches me and opens my mind up to understand can I ever begin to know anything about.


Who is able to advise the Spirit of the LORD?
      Who knows enough to give him advice or teach him?
 Has the LORD ever needed anyone’s advice?
      Does he need instruction about what is good?
   Did someone teach him what is right
      or show him the path of justice?

 No, for all the nations of the world
      are but a drop in the bucket.
   They are nothing more
      than dust on the scales.
   He picks up the whole earth
      as though it were a grain of sand.  -Is. 40:13-15

What does the bible say?  The word of God reveals to us His holiness, His plan of salvation, and His motivation: LOVE  Now why should we be afraid of this God who loves us returning to rule on His earth?  Why should we fear any trouble to come as He sets up His reign of righteousness? How can we worry about Him who is Holy, when He has made a way for us to enter by the blood of His own Son.  Standing on God's word and trusting His work will lead us into His arms of love.  Doubting our God's love, not knowing His promised words of salvation and restoration, will lead us into pride trying to save ourselves.  We cannot save ourselves.  It is by faith in Jesus that we are saved, healed, and restored.  Why? = God's big love for us.

 .....Your God is coming!
 Yes, the Sovereign LORD is coming in power.
      He will rule with a powerful arm.
      See, he brings his reward with him as he comes.
 He will feed his flock like a shepherd.
      He will carry the lambs in his arms,
   holding them close to his heart.  -Is. 40:9-11


O Lord God!  I pray to You with a grateful heart for Your salvation, and all the blessings in my life.  I thank You for giving me Your word so that I may know You more.  Put in me a hunger for Your word, and give me diligence to feed on Your word daily.  Where else can I go?  Only You have the words of Life, all other worldly chatterings and pursuits have left me unsatisfied.  God come and open up the scriptures to me that I may see You. Be big God in my eyes; let me see You rightly.  In Jesus name I pray.

San Diego Day Vlog 2.29.12

I was blessed to go to California last weekend and spend a few days oceanside! God is so good to me! Jesus is my hope, and I will not be ashamed! My Lord loves to lavish me with blessings, and speak to me words of life and truth. I will never deny that Jesus is my life. He is all I have been looking for and He provides all my needs! Full of compassion and mercy is our God, and there is none like Him! All-powerful and mighty to save, our God rules forever! Opening my heart to Jesus was the most invigorating, rewarding move ever!

Crush Lies Vlog 2.23.12

As I was walking near the mountains of Red Rock here in Las Vegas, and I was listening to the last 20 chapters of Isaiah on my iPod, conversing with the Lord, I had many thoughts.  
In Isaiah 45 the Lord says,
 "I will go before you and will level the mountains...so that you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, who summons you by name."


So I began to ask the Lord, what mountains do You want to crush in my life?  What mountains do You, O God, want to destroy in my world?  Then I believe the Lord was speaking to me that He wanted to crush, and destroy the mountains of 'LIES' in my life, and in the modern world.  God is wanting to smash the lies that say mankind is worthless and hopeless.  The lies that keep people from running to God, that label them something opposite from what the Lord has called them and created them to be.  God will lay to waste lies of modern society that say we should just 'eat, drink, and be merry' because who can know the point of life?!!  Only God can give understanding about the reason why we were created, because He is our Creator.  As we seek the Lord we find our worth to Him.  We realize that we are the ransomed of God, the redeemed by His blood.  He paid the highest price for us to have salvation and revelation of our reason for living.  
So we must hear what the Lord is saying, we must allow God to crush the false identity that has formed mountains around our destiny!  We must let God level the mountains of lies and let Him come in like a flood of rushing living water!  As He speaks truth into our souls we will become confident in His faithfulness, and His fulfillment of favorable promises to us who accept His word.  Then we grow stronger with Christ as our foundation, a sure foundation.  

If the Lord removes the mountains of lies, then we will know His kindness.  We can be assured that though the mountains be removed, His kindness will not be removed.  Even though He takes away things we used to lean on, He will support us and enable us to lean on Him instead.  This is the light that will lead us into grateful adoration of Him as we accept and see how His truth sets us free!  It will be a struggle to accept the crushing of God.  
Just like at first when you find out that you were wrong, and you have been believing a 'lie' it brings offense to your heart.  At that moment you must decide whether to feed that offense or surrender it to the Truth Revelator (Jesus).  His kindness leads us out of the 'lies' into the truth so that we can be free, so we can be healed.   
We are thankful at that point to be shown the truth, and to be free from the mountain of lies.  The gentleness of God's persistent, unrelenting pursuit to plant truth in our hearts becomes our most prized experience.  We then welcome all kinds of mind transforming words from God, and stop reluctantly laying down 'lies' but casting them down at His feet and crying out for more Him.  He is the Truth, the way, the life.  


God our Creator knows what is best for us, His creation.  Do you think He would have created us to give the us the worst? Would God have made us to be mostly mad at, disappointed with, wanting to punish us all the time? NO!  He created us to enjoy, to love, to delight Himself in us.  I mean that is why you make things, to enjoy them!  Why do you make a peanut butter jelly sandwich?  To disgust yourself with? No!  You make things to enjoy!  You make tea to enjoy!  You make a painting to enjoy! to express yourself! God made us, so He could delight in us, as He expresses Himself to all His creation through us!  
Once we taste the comforting kindness of the King, we loose our hunger for the lesser pleasures of this world, and can only be satisfied by the higher, Divine pleasures that come from nearness with God.  Standing with our Creator, Redeemer and Friend, we can be sure that no weapon formed against us can prosper.  We can be sure that we will have the most abundant life, forever secure in the Everlasting Arms of Love Himself.  That's His plan for us, that is what we were created for: to enjoy God, and be enjoyed by Him.  

God loves us that is His reason for making us, to love us!!  I want to let this love drive me crazy in love with Jesus!  Wash me daily, and renew in me a clean spirit, for I have accepted Your blood, securing my salvation and nearness to God forever! Make me Holy like You are, perfect like You, because I have allowed You to love me!  Thank You God for loving the world so much that You sent Your only Son to die that we may live!

Rambling Walk Vlog 2.21.12

I am still in training for the Back to Life Movement and listening to the word of God is feeding me truth deep down in my soul! I love the word of God, it truly is Life. Knowing God's word, is knowing His heart...knowing His mercy towards us, His love for us, and His plans for us. Forgiveness of sins by the blood of the Lamb of God, Jesus, is the best thing we could ever read about. No other book can make a person alive, and secure their destiny upon believing it's words. The B-I-B-L-E yes that's the book for me!
