FOCUSING HIM AND SERVING HIM IN OUR WORLD

     Even though I shared this photo with the Word not a long time ago, it is still reaching into my heart quickly and easily!  I read Isaiah 5 very strongly about 15 years ago, and have underlined it in my Bible and have read it many times.   Way back then ... about 2,650-ish years ago ... when this Word was put in through Isaiah's intensity, NOW, in our present-day World it is still very truthful and very important.  The Lord puts our hearts and focuses sometimes in different portions of the world, b/c we are used by Him and serving and doing our God-job. As I've indicated, serving Him is all that counts, and it's a huge variety of people who serve Him.  In my case, I'm heavily involved in "seriousity".  
     Sharing this around and about again so many hearts can and will break into the sinfulness and turn people thoroughly to the Lord and strong servers, one way or another that our Lord will use us in and at one way or another. 
     I've often said that when I'm in heaven Isaiah is one of those I truly want to meet... and Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, and John [Revelation for sure] and Jude.  So, when I'm "walking" around I'm thinking of hundreds in Heaven already ... angels who have protected me, God-servers, historic family connections, and many that I've seen and met especially since I was about 12 years old.  Even though I was extremely sinful as a kid and until I came officially to the Lord when I was 20, certain Godly people had truly broken into my life, even when I was a kid.  I'm a grateful cookie.
     Bless you all and thank you!  AND thank you, Lord.  Trust You and love You! 

SPIRITUAL WARFARE

ABOUT 10 YEARS ON MY CAR LICENSE, BTW!

In the past 5 months the Lord has told me several times a week to drive around our general area... even thoroughly inside Omaha or, at the most, about 20 miles outside of Omaha... and my God-job is to worship, pray, praise, and focus on the demonic pieces that have been in our area and, consequently, pray strongly.  For more than 25 years I've been involved with something that is called Spiritual Warfare.  Basically, it's studying the history re: other gods being chosen, worshiped, sacrificed to, and being rejoiced over.  I have met some wonderful friends connected to Spiritual Warfare/Spiritual Mapping.  And those I'm involved with are in my general state area or in several of our states to the West and East and in other nations.  The Lord used me in a few of the nations to focus on the prayer and considering the way the Lord will be worshiped quickly and that anything demonic can lose some of the time with the people.  Since my body and brain are struggling day-by-day now, even shortly before I turned 70 in July, I can't drive to other distant states which I've done for years, and can't go to other nations.  Serving the Lord in my house and driving nearby is all I can do.  So, I'd love to  show some of the photos that were used in other nations... mostly shown in Uganda, Morocco, Costa Rica, and England... but can't do it all.  Some of the people that I was with were strongly involved in dealing with the spiritual issues and I just happened to be there, hearing info, and being taken around to see more.  In the U.S., I've usually been in the western portion, with all the states north and south.  Then, in the eastern portion, I was used that way in the 1990s, and strongly on 2009.   Some were wonderful situations and some broke my heart.  Don't know when I can do much any more, b/c of my age thing.  As I've said, my body and brain aren't working very well any more.  

       OH, and using the photo taken of me in Morocco, April, '01.  Gave it to my mom when I got back, even though she had hoped I would be on a camel, and this was all I could do, and she laughed and loved having it.  After she went to heaven in end of January, '11, when she was 90-1/2 years old, it was given back to me from my sisters.  Every day when I see this in my living room, I never forget that she loved this and was excited when I gave it to her.

I'M A ROOT, NOT A FLOWER!

I SHOWED THIS A YEAR OR SO AGO,

AND AM SHOWING NOW, AGAIN.

IT IS TRULY ONE OF MY GOD-JOBS.

SOMETIMES I'VE WANTED TO BE ONE OF THE 

LEAVES, FLOWERS, OR A SPECIAL BRANCH.

INSTEAD, THE LORD HAS USED ME TO GO OUT

AND ABOUT AND WATCH AND STEP AND DO

WHATEVER IS NEEDED AND NECESSARY.

WITH MY PRESENT-DAY AGE THING AND

MY STRUGGLES WITH AND FOR

DEMENTIA AND VARIOUS BODY ISSUES,

ALL I CAN DO MOST OFTEN IS

WORSHIP, PRAISE, AND PRAY

FOR HIM...

MOMENT-BY-MOMENT,

DAY-BY-DAY.

AND THIS IS MY MAIN SPIRITUAL BIBLE VERSE

THAT HE LAID ON ME YEARS AND YEARS AGO.

BUT HE'S ALL THAT COUNTS, FOREVER.

THAT'S MY FOCUS!!

OUR "A" AND "Z" BLESSING! FOREVER AND EVER!

A YEAR AGO, THE END OF JULY WHEN I RETURNED FROM THE NORTHWEST AFTER VISITING FAMILY AND FRIENDS THERE FOR A MONTH, THE LORD LAID IT ON ME

 TO PUT A PHOTO AND HIS WORD ON MY BLOG 

EVERY DAY FOR A YEAR.

TODAY IS OFFICIALLY OFF THE GOD-JOB, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I WON'T BE SHARING HIS WORD AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE, DAY-BY-DAY OR WEEK-BY-WEEK, TO SPREAD HIS WORD AROUND AND ABOUT OUR NATION AND OUR WORLD.  SO, I'LL DO WHATEVER HE TELLS ME TO DO WHENEVER HE TELL ME TO DO IT!  

HE'S MY WONDERFUL BOSS, MY FATHER, 

MY ETERNAL PEACE, 

MY FOREVER LOVE. 

 CAN'T NOT DO WHAT HE LAYS ON MY HEART TO DO.

 

ANOTHER BHUTANESE BABY!! SURPRISE!!

During the past 4 months, I have been involved with the birth time of a new baby boy.  As I've done a few times in the past 3 years, I go to one of our hospital areas and, with them connected from their family friends to a Dr. who is wonderful, just help them adjust and be encouraged.  I actually had no idea this was going to be dropped back into my life, since I hadn't been heavily involved with the baby birth time for nearly 1-1/2 years.  But I was asked again and I DID!!

Well, we did well while moving forward.  Originally, we were told that the birth time would be July 22.  Two weeks ago, since I had missed them twice that week during their Dr. time,  because I was at my own doctor because of my body situation, the dad, Nim, on Sunday, the 6th, told me it had been changed to July 16.  I was a little surprised, to say the least.

Last Monday, the 7th, we had our next meeting time, and as soon as Dr. B. had checked Aita, she said to us, "Come tomorrow and check in.  The little boy will come soon."  I was absolutely shocked and needed to adjust my whole thinking portion.  Other things on my plate that next couple days had to disappear.  Including my birthday on the 9th.  What a surprise, as I said before.

Tuesday afternoon I took Aita to the hospital and got her checked in.  Her sis-in-law came, also, who is a good translator.  Nim couldn't be there, because he happened to be taking a job interview at that time.  Anyhow, things just go on the process.

Tuesday night I slept on a couch in the room, but hardly ever had a consistent rest.  Too much medical noise and lights, etc.  Wednesday, I had another appointment for one of my other dear ones with the same doctor, right around noon.  After that was done, I went to lunch with a friend from church who wanted to give me a birthday lunch gift.  Then I was back at the hospital about 3.

That night, just as I was resting a bit, the birth instance suddenly came to pass about 11:00.  Since I'd been in this situation before, I knew we needed to move all the chairs and everything else into one portion of the room.  Then the nurses wouldn't have to do that part of the job.  They had lots of their own stuff to do to prep.  And it was coming quickly.

About 11:30, Dr. B. arrived.  Delivery issue began at 11:45, and, if the little boy had come quickly, it would have been my biggest birthday gift ever.  BUT it was 12:30-ish when Ashita came. 


The amazing thing, regarding me, is that until I had become  66 three years ago, and was dropped into helping in early August, I would never have done anything like this and never wanted to see directly when a baby would be born -- including my kids and grandkids.  Hugging quickly after, YES!  However, this time, in the past 3 years, holding, helping, and doing whatever the nurses and Dr. asked me to do, was my God-job, because things needed to be done during the baby's arrival.  And that is a whole new world for me.  And I've loved it!!!

Anyhow, I headed home at 1:30 and, since it took a little while for my exploding nerves to relax, I didn't get to bed until 3:00.  It took a couple days, basically until yesterday, for me to feel I am fine and not thoroughly exhausted.  Next 2 months I'll be in the same situation again, TWICE.  THEN, in early September, I'll take a break for a couple days, maybe drive outside of town to K.C. or OKC or Lincoln and be with a friend and just relax.  I LOVE what I'm doing that God is telling me to do.  That's the important part.

So, just couldn't NOT send this around and about to my blog friends and my dear ones.

And I happened to be rushing up to their place just as they had come home.  I. loved. it. and. them!!!

Our wonderful heavenly Father that truly helped this event.

GLORY, HONOR, AND PEACE...

WATCHMAN

Been a heavy-sigh time for me.  WHY?  For some reason, I can "see" the world-wide issues, the worshiping of other gods and goddesses, dividing the Word of Truth and how many are setting some of the Word aside in the reality of our present-day social issues.

Two friends were visiting me this week, different times, different days, and both for the first time in a few years.  One has been a friend for more than 25 years; the other I met July 4th, 2008.  This week I was reading Ezekiel the same days they were visiting. And both of these ladies, while not even talking about Ezekiel, said I was a "watchman".  They said that God uses me to see the consequences of our world, and that I need to be available to share His Word to deal with Truth.  They both also say I am prophetic, which, in a bit of a different manner than many others, I know I am.  Most of it is connected to a particular form of spiritual warfare in which  the Lord has been using me for at least 20 years.  

Anyhow, all of that, laid on my heart and spirit recently, is a HUGE reminder that I need to step up to the top of the wall and the tower, keep an eye out and about to see what's going on, and be prepared to speak His Word whenever He lays it in my heart, and to fight the Enemy so people will be freer, and clearer, and moving nearer and nearer to Him.

This is not a "sweetness and light" post.  This is one focused on the serious side of reality.  My God-job here...forever.  Been a human fighter -- emotionally and physically --  in childhood; now a spiritual fighter for the rest of my earthly life.

HE is what counts.  His WORD is what counts.  Nothing else can.  

OH, and we have different God-jobs in our world, in and through eternity.  Some are truly the ones who pour blessings and encouragement around and about the world. Others are significant care-givers, both physically and spiritually.  So, focusing on Him, doing what He calls us to do, is all that counts for any, all of us.  All of us, forever and ever, must "watch and pray".  That's all we can rely upon.
