GOD CAN BLESS CURSED GROUND

HATTI HAS BEEN A CURSED LAND. This country is known for witch craft, demons running amuck, sacrifices and etc. God has shook this land, when there looked like there was no hope, God is creating a miracle. In the mist of the destruction people were raising their hands and praising God. When they were hungry waiting for relief, even when the food arrived they chose to fast and praise God. God is literally rebuilding a broken nation. He is taking back a land the enemy has occupied for years. I have watched TBN and seen the ministries of the world come together to rebuild this land for God. Millions upon millions of dollars and medicene and medical help portable hospitals and food plus volunteers are flooding this land. Jesus is blessing a cursed world. Our nations economy is at a low but God has proved He is not broke, He has goods and He has people to help. What a guy. God can bless a cursed land. Do you have any cursed ground in your life? God has the resources to bless that thing. GOD BLESS, LINDA

I WANT TO WRITE YOU A LOVE SONG

One morning on the way to work I was praying and praising God. The songwriter said I just keep falling in love with Him over and over again. That's what I was doing, falling in love with Him again. I thought, I want to write you a love song with a sweet melody. I got one paragraph into the song and He turned it around and started to write a love song back to me. The more I love Him, He shows me He loves me more..........................




I want to write you a love song, with a sweet melody,
I want to sing all your praises, just what you mean to me.
You knew me before I was formed in the womb
And you showered me with love.
You knew me and pursued me, and you wooed me.
Even spoke to the Father above,
And you said, She's mine, I hold her in the palm of my hand.
She's mine, I'm taking her to the promised land.
I paid the highest price for her you see,
When I shed my blood on Calvary,
Dressed her in the robe of purity,
She is my precious bride to be,
Singing praises through the ages, for my Father and me.
Together, forever in eternity.



What a guy! You can't help falling in love over and over again with a fells like that.........God Bless, LINDA

ONLY LOVE WILL REIGN

Many years ago in a land far away when our marriage was young, I was crazy in love with my husband and 3 small children we lived in the countryside on a hill. The time was magic and we thought we could conquer the world and had the best time doing just that. My husband was winterizing co-ordinater for 7 counties. He worked for the government and built the first solar heater in Mo. He worked 10 to 15 hours a day during the week. I had lots of alone time. I studied the Bible a great deal. After my children were in bed for the night I would go out in the yard, look at the stars in the skies and sing hymns of praise and worship to God. I would spill my heart out to Him in adoration. One night God gave me a gift. He gave me a pretty little melody and some words. He gave me a song. I never asked Him for it, He just gave it. I remember I had been studying Revelation at the time. The song went like this........


Only love will reign when Jesus comes again.
There'll be no sorrow, no pain and no more crying,
There'll be heartache, no sickness and no more dying,
When Jesus comes, when Jesus comes again.

Only love will reign when Jesus comes again.
There'll be no war, for the seeds of hate won't grow.
For my Lord, only seeds of love He'll sow.
When Jesus comes, when Jesus comes again.

Only love will reign when Jesus comes again,
There'll be no hunger, no thirst and no more sighing,
For then we'll see the son of God, there's no denying,
When Jesus comes, when Jesus comes again.


This song was a confirmation of the prophetic promises He made in the book of Revelation........God Bless, LINDA

7 LAPS AROUND THE CITY

Recently our prayer group was impressed by H.G. (Holy Ghost) to take 7 laps around the city in preparation for passover to pray a blessing on the town and rebuke the devourer. This was to be different than past times when we prayed for us four and a few more. This time He instructed us to pray on a higher level for principalities, powers and governments. It was a wonderful experience, it expanded our vision to see a greater picture. A few weeks ago our group was discussing how God changed peoples names many times throughout scripture and Revelation says He will give us a new name. I wondered what my new name would be. My name is Linda. It means beautiful. But when I hear the name beautiful I don't think of my looks rather I think of my feet. How beautiful are the feet that walk upon the mountains proclaiming the gospil. There were three of us who made the physical journey and a sister who made the spiritual trip. In the back seat was a sister who is anointed with love with mercy. Everyone who comes through her sphere of influence knows they are well loved. At the drivers seat was a sister who is anointed with peace. Peace follows her wherever she goes. Then there was me joy. I am an exhorter who operates the gift with joy and enthusiasm. The missing sister we call fearless faith because when fear sees her coming he rushes out the door with trembling. I had to chuckle.....love, joy, peace and fearless faith...... What a great combination to get the job done. Because I wondered God revealed my new name. He always calls us what we are anointed to be. Abram became Abraham, the father of many nations, Jacob the deceiver became Israel the Father of the twelve tribes of Israel and of course Jesus had many names...Savior, redeemer, healer, Messiah, Prince of Peace, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. God Bless, JOY!

GOD'S RX FOR DEPRESSION

Dealing with demons is an every day practice for Christians. Jesus had to deal with them and He taught us how to deal with them. Jesus told us to speak to them in His name and they would have to flee. They have no choice. But His word also gives different RX'S for certain demons. The deaf and dumb spirit only comes out by prayer and fasting. The worlds solution to dealing with the spirit of depression is to drug it. Hide it so others won't notice. That is not God's RX. He says put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. What??????? Sing praises?????????? How could anything be that simple????? Yet God says that is the way to conquer this spirit. HE says put on the garment of Praise for the spirit of heaviness. Lift up your voice to God. Pray in the spirit and the understanding. Oh magnify the Lord. Can you imagine the financial ruin of the drug companies and Dr's if every depressed patient got the truth of this word and every time the world disappointed us or our loved ones broke our hearts or our house burned down or we lost our job or a dear one die, we reached for praise instead of the pill bottle. We bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the Lord. We bring the sacrifice of thanksgiving into the house of the Lord, we bring the sacrifice of joy. Joy is the opposite of depression and God says a song of praise will drive this demon away God Bless, LINDA

THE VISION

MY DAUGHTER WAS STRICKEN BY M.S. I took her 7 year old daughter into my home to raise as my own. I have always attended church but I did not have a church home at that time. I had been in this community who boasts 12 churches and not one had come and invited me to their church. One day this elderly lady come to my home and told me how their church was dying and she asked me to come. I honored her request. They had no preacher, their attendance members was 12. The lady was determined to resurrect the house of God. She inspired a campaign to go house to house and invite and offer transportation. In one year 66 people had been saved and baptized. In less than 2 years most of the people where gone attending church no where again. God gave me a vision. There was a huge room full of empty rocking chairs except for one with an old lady rocking a baby. There were dying babies everywhere needing attention but no helpers to rock and comfort them. The Lord showed me that though these babies had once had life they were aborted. My spirit grieved for this vision of aborted babies. Getting them saved my friends is not enough. You don't have a baby and leave it to fend for itself. They need fed and cherished and made to feel valuable. Babies need protection and love to thrive. Newly saved people need nurtured or they soon return to the life that was familiar to them. There is an old saying ...if you save a life that life belongs to you.... My friends that is true.... If you are part of a saved life you are responsible to pray, to offer hospitality, love and nourishment. God bless, LINDA

PURE RELIGION AND UNDEFILED

We regret to inform you, your husband has been found dead...........What a shock.......... The craziness of taking care of all the details......friends, family, food....... The funeral......3 weeks later the world has forgotten you or they are so uncomfortable with your new station in life they avoid you.......that hurts more than words can tell.....invitations rarely come......you are no longer a couple and you just don't fit......the world smiles and offers their sympathy, then withdraws. There is no one there to hold you at 3 in the morning when the grieving tears slip down your face, so you cling to God. He becomes your lover, your friend, your husband, your brother and you begin to heal. You learn to create a world where you can survive. You let Jesus fill those empty places in your heart. I live on a block with 3 houses. In every house lives a widow. Across the street lives another widow, down the street is a widower and a widow. We should call it widows avenue. One of the loneliest days of the year is Valentines day. Church and community activities are geared for couples. Widows do not fit. My friend was impressed by the Holy one to give an elegant dinner and invite widows and divorced ladies. She has several dinners a year. It is lovely and a time of fellowship only those who live alone can understand. The ladies who attend are blessed, wounded spirits are healed, hope springs anew, and their lives are valued. I commend my friend for hearing God and acting on His instructions. For 35 years I was rarely addressed by my name. I was somebody's wife or somebody's mother, now I must make a place for my name. The Bible says pure religion and undefiled is to visit the widows and orphans. What a strange thing for God to say, yet when we look in His word God honors widows many times. So if your desire is to have the heart of God, visit the widows and orphans, Just rambling.....God Bless, LINDA

LORD HELP MY UNBELIF

Have you a mountain in your life that refuses to move? Maybe it is a health issue, high blood pressure or diabetis, an emotional crisis, a broken marriage or relationship with your kids or family or friends, maybe financial bondage every time you think you have a breakthrough something breaks down and wipes out your efforts. The mountain stands firm day after day, month after month year after year. It will not move. You have prayed about it. You have spoken the word of God in faith. You have been a wise man and commanded it to move yet there are no visible results. Then you begin to think you are like Paul who had a thorn in his flesh. He prayed for God to remove it and God answered, my grace is sufficient so you decide this is your thorn in the flesh and you just get used to it being there. You live with it, walk around it and pray other prayers that bless and heal others and you continue to walk in faith. It reminds me of the story of the Father whose grown son has grand maul seizures. He takes him to the disciples and asks them to heal him. They try but cannot. The Father is determined and takes him to Jesus. He says the disciples could not heal his son and asks Jesus to heal him. Jesus asks how long has he had this and the Father says since he was a child. The Father was a wore out caregiver. The fits had often thrown his child into the fire and into the water. The Father had to save him over and over through the years. Jesus said if you will believe and the Father said, I believe Lord but help my unbelief. When the Father looked at Jesus he believed but when he looked at his son, his circumstance, the years of an unmovable mountain of doubt and unbelief surfaced. Jesus spoke to that deaf and dumb spirit commanding it to come out. A final jerk of the young man's body and the spirit came out. The holy spirit just spoke to me and said read what you have written. Jesus spoke to a deaf spirit and it obeyed. Deaf spirits cannot hear, but this one heard the word of God. Now if that does'nt light your fire your wood is wet. We know by the scripture of Elijah that wet wood does not offend God, He moves in faith anyway. The young man was slain in the spirit but the unbelievers murmured that Jesus had killed him. Just like the religious crowd, they did not believe Jesus could heal him but believed he had killed him. After the healing the disciples asked Jesus why they could not heal him. Jesus said because of your unbelief. I believe Jesus had to use the gift of faith that day which is different than general faith because He was surrounded by doubt and unbelief. So if you face an old mountain in your life that refuses to move perhaps you should change your prayer to Jesus help my unbelief. God Bless,LINDA

OLD EAGLES CAN BECOME YOUNG AGAIN

Is. Tells us... Those that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with the wings of eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.....Ps. tells us He will make us as the young eagles..... What wonderful promises, but you have to realize that promises have a process. When an eagle gets old the beak is to deformed for the eagle to eat properly. The talcons are too ingrown to hold the food properly. The flying feathers are worn and torn making the flight for food difficult. The eagle flies to a high airey, then beats it's beak off against the rock. The eagle does not eat during this time. As the beak grows back, the eagle plucks the talcons off to grow new ones and then plucks out the old flying feathers to be replaced with new growth. This is a vulnerable and painful time for this magestic bird. This rebirth of strength takes several months. The eagle is then renewed with the strength of it's youth. Yes my friends, old eagles can have renewed strength of the young eagles, but it is a painful and blessed process. Just some food for thought God Bless, Linda

REFLECTING HIS GLORY

SOME TIME AGO I WAS STUDYING THE GLORY OF GOD. IT HAS MANY DEFINATIONS ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE, but I was not satisfied, so I continued to search.
Then like a flash I had the answer I was seeking. We are God's glory, His blessing on the earth. We are His workmen, His hands , His feet, His spoken word. At salvation when Jesus comes into our heart and takes up residence we begin to change. We begin to be molded in His likeness. We reflect who He is and who we are in Him. I'd like to share a couple of experiences I had yesterday. As you know I have had Internet difficulties for the last week. I called my service, they quickly recognized the problem in the modem and said they would send a tech the next day and get me up and running by noon. I praised God, thanked the tech, I was speaking too and praised him for finding the problem so quickly and told him how much I appreciated his gracious help. He was chuckling by the time we were done, gave me his name and number telling me to call him any time. I could feel the smile on his face I blessed him and said goodbye. One hour later the tech showed up at my home. They told me you would not be here until tomorrow. He said he got caught up and decided to come now. I praised God for collapsing time. In 20 minutes he had my problem fixed and updated my service. I praised him for his effecientcy and kindness. He left with a smile on his face wishing me a great rest of the day. I thought about that encounter and realized I had praised God at least 6 times while he was here. During the course of the day I had 5 phone calls and at the end of each call that person said, Linda I love you. What they really meant was, Linda I love the Jesus I see in you. Christ's reflected glory. That is my anointing, that is the anointing of every son or daughter of God. What an awesome position to be in.......to reflect the glory of God! So...let us honor Him saints of God and get out there reflecting His glory! YES!!!!!!!!! God Bless, Linda

SEEKING APPROVAL

FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE WE ARE TAUGHT BY EMOTION TO SEEK APPROVAL. We learn that approval has conditions. To bow to obedience and praise, brings a feeling of well being and when we have a good experience we want that feeling again and strive to repeat it. On the other hand to practice disobedience and punishment brings us pain and a feeling of worthlessness that we may carry as a cross that hinders us our entire life. It brings death of spirit and a coldness of the heart that can short change the destiny God had planned for us. So as we grow we learn approval has life giving rewards. It starts with our parents, then in the school system, in our relationships with friends, family, church and on to our spouses. You have heard the old expression if mama ain't happy no body is happy so we learn to please mama. Finally as we mature in the WORD we realize it is better to please God than man. It is His approval we seek. When God has spoken to us sometimes He tells us to do strange things that man may disapprove and say it isn't from God at all. Let me give you an example. God said to His prophet Hosea go and get yourself a harlot and marry her. Can you imagine your pastor standing up in the pulpit and announcing God told you to go marry a whore? The church would send that man packing or try to cast the devil out of him. I myself would doubt that that was God speaking. Can you even imagine the faith it took to do what God said even though your congregation disapproved and wanted to run you out of town. Hosea knew the voice of God and obeyed God rather than man. God gives us the free will of obedience. Hosea could have said nice religious stuff to his flock and won the approval of his people but He chose God. Hosea's harlot wife betrayed him, her first child was the seed of another man. She kept running off to her old life and Hosea would restore her and love her. The last time she ran away she was sold into slavery. The next time Hosea saw her was when she was dirty, naked and auctioned off on a slave block. He paid the price for her took her home, cleaned her up, clothed her and comforted her with his never ending love for her. God used Hosea's life as a living testimony as an example of the church. God church is His well loved bride. She betrayed Him and went awhoring after other Gods. She bore Him illigitiment children and sold herself into slavery. God found her and He paid the price for her(His Son Jesus). He took her to a safe place and cleaned her up and He clothed her in His glory and honored her and loved her. Divorcing her was not an option, for love suffers all things, endures all things, believes all things, love never fails. I think this is the most beautiful love story in the Bible. I would encourage you to give Hosea another read and discover this amazing love for yourself and seek the approval of God. God Bless, LINDA

START ACTING LIKE YOUR DADDY

Several years ago I rubbed some drug dealers the wrong way and they threatened my life and I believed them. I lived in fear. I told no one because I did not want any innocent people being hurt because of me. Sounds like a righteous and good thing doesn't it? It is a lie straight from the pit of hell. The devil had used his three greatest tools on me, intimidation, isolation and manipulation. He intimidated me into a manipulated position of isolation. There I suffered depression so deep I was worthless to the kingdom. A friend invited me to a 3 day revival meeting. My last little drop of hope glimmered to life. I went the first night, there was no word for me. I went the second night, it was good word but did not set me free. The third night turned cold , rainy and miserable and I almost did not go. Then I thought what if your miracle comes tonight and you miss it? So I went. Near the end of the service the preacher pointed his finger at me and said five little words that changed my life, set me free and turned me into a giant killer. Those words were, START ACTING LIKE YOUR DADDY! As soon as he said the words, God gave me a vision of Jesus acting like me, hiding in fear in my locked bedroom because there were drug demons on the other side. The picture was so ludicrous that I started laughing in my spirit and the chains fell off me, the depression lifted and I became a mighty warrior of God. I never heard from the drug dealers again. I never saw them again. Faith swallowed fear and I was delivered. I wrote a song about that night..........

STAR ACTING LIKE YOUR DADDY

I was sitting at home, all alone, feeling sad, defeated and blue.
My world was crumbling all around and I did not know what to do.
A traveling preacher came to town, that rainy afternoon,
I slipped inside and joined the crowd, hoped I'd have my answer soon.

And he said, start acting like your Daddy, your Father in the heavens above.
Just start talking like your Daddy and temper it with love.
Just remember the authority, that Jesus gave to you.
Just speak up to your mountain, those devils got to move.

The glory shown round about, upon that preacher's face,
As he talked of giant killers, authority and grace.
The words of truth and light he spoke changed my world for me
And when I left that place that night, I knew who I should be.

I set there in amazement, as the word settled in my heart,
Illuminating my spirit, never to depart.
And when I left that meeting, excited ,happy and free,
I'd become my Father's daughter, speaking with authority.

And now I'm acting like my Daddy, my Father in the heavens above,
And I'm talking like my Daddy and temper it with love.
I remember the authority, that Jesus gave to me,
And I've spoken to my mountain with power and authority.


God Bless, LINDA

SEEKING THE FATHERS COAT

Joseph wore many coats in his life. He wore the fathers coat, the coat of many colors given to him by this Father. His brothers tore the coat from him and sold him into slavery and he wore the coat of a slave, then he wore the coat of Pontifers house which he left there as he fled Pontifers wife, then he wore the prison coat which he left there as he went to the palace, where he received probably the most expensive coat in the land. But his heart wanted only his Fathers coat, his Fathers covering. His heart hungered for his Father all those years until their relationship was restored. What coat are you wearing? DO YOU WEAR THE COAT OF A SLAVE OR PRISONER OR DO YOU WEAR THE COAT OF A SON ?Do you seek the Fathers coat, the Fathers covering? GOD BLESS, LINDA

JUST A THOUGHT AWAY

The first year of the war I wrote a love song for the soldiers. It was recorded on a cd and sent to Iraq to inspire our boys. It was also made into a music video and aired in a local cable station in Hollywood...ENJOY!





JUST A THOUGHT AWAY

What God hath joined together,
Let no man put asunder,
Were the words the preacher uttered, on the day we took our vows.
But circumstances in our lives,
Which could not be denied, separated us by many many miles.
Our love was put on hold,
Through no fault of our own,
But our affections for each other, grew day by day.
But, Darlin' I discovered, when this lonely heart would hold you,
You were only, just a thought away.
Just a thought away, from these arms that long to hold you.
Just a thought away, from these lovin' words I've told you.
Distance can't deplete the way we feel about each other,
Joined at the heart, my love,
I will be yours, you will be mine, forever.
Soon these miles won't matter,
And our hearts will not be shattered,
By the distances we now endure,
Soon we'll be together,
And the storms of life we'll weather,
With a love that's been made sure.
Just a thought away, from these arms that long to hold you.
Just a thought away, from these lovin' words, I've told you.
Distance can't deplete, the way we feel about each other.
Joined at the heart my love,
I will be yours, you will be mine, forever.



GOD BLESS, LINDA

LIFE DIDN'T END

LIFE DIDN'T END ON THE CROSS THAT DAY,
ALTHOUGH THE WORLD CHEERED AS HE SLIPPED AWAY.
THREE DAYS IN THE GRAVE, HE AROSE AGAIN,
WALKED THE STREETS OF THE CITY AND WAS SEEN BY MEN.


HE'S ALIVE, HE'S ALIVE AS HE EVER WILL BE.
PRESENTING THE GIFT OF HEAVEN AS MEN'S DESTINY.
WE WILL WALK WITH HIM AT THE THRONE OF GRACE,
STANDING BY JESUS AS WE TAKE OUR PLACE.

TRUTH DIDN'T END WHEN THEY NAILED HIM TO THE TREE.
FATHER FORGIVE THEM WAS HIS FINAL PLEA.
THOUGH AS MESSIAH THEY DIDN'T KNOW HIM,
HE WILLINGLY GAVE HIS LIFE AND FORGAVE THEIR SIN.

HE'S ALIVE, HE'S ALIVE AS HE EVER WILL BE,
PRESENTING THE GIFT OF HEAVEN AS MAN'S DESTINY.
WE WILL WALK WITH HIM AT THE THRONE OF GRACE,
STANDING BY JESUS AS WE TAKE OUR PLACE.

LOVE DIDN'T END AT THE CROSS OF CALVARY,
IT CAME TO REDEEM AND SET MANKIND FREE,
THE ULTIMENT GIFT FROM THE FATHER ABOVE,
HE GAVE HIS ONLY SON TO SHOW HIS GREAT LOVE.

HE'S ALIVE, HE'S ALIVE AS HE EVER WILL BE,
PRESENTING THE GIFT OF HEAVEN AS MAN'S DESTINY.
WE WILL WALK WITH HIM AT THE THRONE OF GRACE,
STANDING BY JESUS AS WE TAKE OUR PLACE.

LOVE CAME LOOKING FOR ME

Love came looking for me. I did not go looking for Him. He loved me so much He came looking of me. Every where I went I bumped into Him. What a glorious meeting that was. I remember at 6 years old when I was big enough to cross the street by myself I walked half a mile to church. I was seeking something, I did not know what but I was drawn to Him. I won every attendance award which was a Bible or book about Him. I cherished books. I was born with a love of reading and rereading. At 8 years old I met Him at a church meeting and I was never the same. I have always known I was loved. Love came looking for me. I don't know how to live without Him. He is everything to me. My high tower, my fortress of mercy and love. He gives me direction and correction. We had relationship, companionship and friendship. He is closer than my next breath. I just keep falling in love with Him. Praise God love came looking for me! God Bless, LINDA

HE SAVES THE BEST WINE FOR LAST

One of my favorite songs the Lord has given me has some great lines........ A nail scared hand of love reached down ...... They laid love on a cold hard stone......Enjoy these words.....







HE SAVES THE BEST WINE TILL LAST

He saves the best wine till last,
Oh brother don't you see,
Jesus was heaven sent,
A Savior to rescue me.

I was mired down in the pits of sin
Never to rise and then
A nail scared hand of love reached down,
Made my heart smile again.
They nailed Him to a bloody cross,
He hung between two thieves,
One was cursing and mocking HIm,
The other said, remember me.
You'll be with me in paradise,
This promise I leave with you,
Then He said, Father forgive them,
For they know not what they do.

He saves the best wine till last,
Oh, brother don't you see,
Jesus was heaven sent,
A Savior to rescue me.

They put Him in borrowed grave,
Laid love on a cold hard stone,
His friends went away to hide and grieve,
Their master had left them all alone.
The soldiers guarded the grave by night,
By dawn the stone was rolled away,
Why look for the living among the dead,
Don't you know it's resurrection day?
Mary went to the garden looking,
For the body of her King,
Then she heard Him,
Softly calling out her name.

He saves the best wine till last.
Oh, brother can't you see,
Jesus was heaven sent,
A Savior to rescue me.

AN AWESOME WORD

I RECIEVED AN AWESOME WORD FROM THE LORD! He said you have been expecting most of your life. I pondered this word....Yes, Lord, every time I go to a church meeting or a prayer group I expect you to move on your word to change lives trough faith to salvation, deliverance and healing emotionally and physically. When I pray I expect you to answer. Yes , Lord, I live a life expecting. Then He said you have travailed in labor and pain for years... I thought of the hardships in my life losing loved ones , physically challenges, emotional hurts and bondages, poverty and losses.... Then He said, but I have moved you into the delivery room. At that point my heart rejoiced with great joy. When you get to the delivery room you know the pain and suffering will end soon. When the child is delivered and laid in your arms the pain is swallowed up in the joy. It is remembered no more. Then He said , you are about to be delivered to your destiny. Praise God! I have been expecting this day. I realized that this word was not just for me, it is always about Him and His mind is always on them. This word is not for the babes in Christ who drink milk, nor is it for the maturing saints who has tasted the meat of the word, but it is for the mature Christians who are feasting on the strong meat of the word. Listen and receive this word.... You have been expecting most of your life. You have travailed in pain and suffering for many years. I have moved you to the delivery room. You are about to be delivered into your destiny........... THIS IS AN AWESOME PROPHETIC WORD ! God Bless, LINDA

PRAISE THE LAMB

Praise the Lamb who walked among the wolves occupying the territory and He changed the atmosphere in that place. He is now sending His sheep among the wolves to the territory they occupy to change the atmosphere. The anointing He has released in your life you will release into that atmosphere. The peace you release will change the wolves. IT IS TIME FOR THE SAINTS TAKE BACK WHAT THE ENEMY HAS STOLEN....our families, churches, businesses,town, governments, entertainments, schools and media. 10 saints can take back a city, a mama and a prayer partner can take back her family for God. God is fixing to promote us to a new level. Put on the armor of God my friends because a new level brings a new devil. We can walk through that fire in faith and come out without even the smell of smoke on us. We are the sheep He will send among the wolves to change the atmosphere in that territory. GOD BLESS, LINDA

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Years ago my prayer partner and I were studying Daniel and Revelations. What to expect in heaven. We found scriptures that said we were to have a country home and a city home and that we would build it ourselves. I thought God is going to have to do a miracle in me because I am not mechanically inclined. Give me a crochet hook and I can make you the most awesome table cloth but to give me a hammer and nails, you have an accident waiting to happen. Then I read the scriptures of how nothing will be hurt and death will be no more in the Holy place so cutting trees and making lumber will not be an option. Then I got a vision of a wall of living roses reflecting off a wall of diamonds...wow... I read where every year at the appointed time we would travel to the New Jerusalem to keep the three feasts of God, the Passover, Penticost and the day of Atonement. Last year the Holy Spirit impressed me that if I was going to celebrate these feasts in heaven I should know what they were all about. I discovered many wonderful things. This is God's feast, a memorial to Him where the story of the Israelites is to be passed down through the generations. I tell the story of Jesus every year to my children and grandchildren at Christmas time, but until last year I have never told the story of passover to them. God said this Holy feast was to be kept forever through the generations. It is not an option it is a command. I kept the passover last year. I pled the blood of Jesus on my door posts and the homes of my children. I did not eat the traditional sedar meal but rather took communion as Jesus is my passover lamb. The Bible says 3 days of the year you shall come and stand before the Lord on Passover, Pentecost and the Day of Atonement. Duet. 16:16 says no man shall come before the Lord empty handed. The sacrifice comes first (something we do) and putting the blood on the door posts then God sends an angel to our house. It is expedient to note God does not send an angel on Pentecost or the Day of Atonement but rather only on Passover. I discovered if I do my part, stand before God with the sacrifice He will send 7 blessings to my house.

1.God will dispatch an angel to your house.
2.God will make your enemies His enemies.
3.God will release prosperity into your house.
4.Sickness will be taken from the midst of you.
5.You will have long life.
6. You will have increase and inheritance.
7. This will be a special year of blessing.

Passover arrives on March 30th this year. Remember the offering the sacrifice and pleading the blood on your door posts and removing all leaven from your house must be done before midnight the 29th and at midnight you must shut yourself in your house and not go out till morning. I encourage you to remember this is not a Jewish feast, this not a Christian feast... This is God's feast. Being baptized will not get you into heaven though we do it as a request from Christ to honor His death and resurrection. Keeping the Passover will not get you into heaven but it is a memorial day for God which we do to honor Him. If I have made you hungry to learn more and given you food for thought the 7 blessings can be found in Exodus 23....BE LED BY THE SPIRIT MAKE THIS A MATTER OF PRAYER. GOD BLESS, LINDA

PINK PIGS

Our daily lives sometimes get cluttered up with things. Sometimes while we are dealing with the clutter we wonder if God is here in the middle of this mess. Did God lead me to it or through it. Did I consult God before dealing with the mess? We are so busy coming and going and doing. A few years ago I read a book called HIPPOS IN THE GARDEN BY JAMES RYLE. He is a preacher and teacher who talks about Bible prophesy and the prophetic voice of this era. I don't remember much about the book except it was fun and scriptural and I enjoyed it very much. But I do remember a story he told and I have shared it with many over the years and would like to share it with you as well. One night praying before he went to bed he asked God to show him something. He went to sleep and God gave him a dream. There was a lovely green field and trees behind the field. In the middle of the field was a large billboard. At the post on the ground was a small pink pig jumping and dancing around the posts. The next morning remembering the dream, the man of God wandered what God was trying to tell him. He looked up scriptures on pigs. When Jesus cast the legion of demons from the madman in the tombs they went into a herd of swine who immediately committed soooeycide by jumping off a cliff into the sea and drowned. He read about the prodical who ended up in the pig pen. A terrible place for a Jewish boy to be. He had been taught since childhood a pig was unclean because even though it divided the hoof it did not chew the cud. He read not to cast your pearl before the swine. He still didn't get what God was saying to him so when he prayed that night he asked God what He was trying to show him? God said did you read the billboard? James said no Lord I was too busy watching the pink pig. When he went to sleep that night God gave him the dream again. This time he read the sign. In big bold letters it said, DO NOT BE DISTRACTED! That is a good prophetic word my friends. When you have a day of confusion remember that is not God but the evil one whom the Bible says is the author of confusion. Do not be distracted from your calling by pink pigs. NO MORE PINK PIGS NO MATTER HOW CUTE THEY ARE....God Bless, LINDA

WATER WALKING WITH JESUS

HELLO BELOVED FAMILY OF THE MOST HIGH GOD!
How about we have some fun maybe a smile or two. God has only given me one children's song but when I sing it for the congregations the adults seem to like it as much as the kids. It goes like this....




WATER WALKING WITH JESUS

Well, a terrible storm came upon the sea and Peter was scared as he could be and he looked out there and thought he saw a ghost. Oh me oh my how can it be, it looks like Jesus walking toward me, Lord if that's you, bid me come to thee.

And Peter went, water walking with Jesus,
Yes, he went, water walking with Jesus,
You know he went, water walking with Jesus,
Water walking on the deep blue sea.

Well, when Peter went water walking with Him, he did not sink and he did not swim as long as he kept his eyes upon the Lord. But he got distracted by the rain and the wind, started to sink and called out to Him and Jesus led him safely through the storm.

And Peter went, water walking with Jesus,
Yes, he went, water walking with Jesus,
You know he went, water walking with Jesus,
Water walking on the deep blue sea.

Well, the moral to the story is this, if you want to go water walking with Jesus, keep your loving eyes upon the Lord, don't be distracted by your troubles and cares just reach out your hand He's always there and He will guide you safely to the shore.

And you can go, water walking with Jesus,
You can go, water walking with Jesus,
Just go, water walking with Jesus,
Water walking on the deep blue sea.



JUST GO....WATER WALKING WITH JESUS, GOD BLESS, LINDA

RING THE BELLS

In the old days when a King was born they rang the bells to announce the birth. When a King died they also rang the bells to announce their passing. In 1990 when God gave me my first songs He gave me one called RING THE BELLS. It went like this......................................








Mary and John stood weeping, on Calvary that day.
Their hope hung on a cross, His life ebbing away.

Ring the bells, He's dying, ring the bells He's dead.
Their poor hearts were broken, filled with misery and dread.
Ring the bells He's dying, ring the bells, He's dead.
In a borrowed tomb, they laid a hanky on His poor battered head.

Mary went weeping to the tomb at dawn,
The stone was rolled away and His body was gone.

Ring the bells, He's living, ring the bells He's not dead.
There's been a resurrection, so the angels have said.
Ring the bells He's living, ring the bells He's not dead,
He's conquered death so the angels have said.

Mary went grieving to the garden ne'er to be the same.
Then she heard her sweet precious Jesus softly calling her name.

Ring the bells,He's living, ring the bells He's not dead.
There's been a resurrection as the angels have said.
Ring the bells, He's living, ring the bells, He's not dead,
He's conquered death as the angels have said.

Mary go tell the others and give them rest.
I go now to the Father, that the whole world be blessed.

Ring the bells I'm living, ring the bells I'm not dead,
There's been a resurrection as the angels have said.
Ring the bells I'm living, ring the bells, I'm not dead,
I've conquered death as the angels have said.

Now there is joy in the morning and great jubilee,
Since Jesus brought salvation to you and to me.

Ring the bells, He's living, ring the bells, He's not dead.
There's been a resurrection as the angels have said.
Ring the bells, He's living, ring the bells He's not dead,
My Jesus liveth as the angels have said.

THINKING OUT LOUD

I was thinking about King David's life from a shepherd boy to the palace. He spent hours alone with the sheep, his dog, and an insturment which he used to praise and worship. The Bible says God inhabits the praise of His people. When David played, the Lord showed up and brought with Him wisdom, knowledge and the supernatural power to defeat the enemy. David developed a relationship of trust and faith with God. He killed a bear and tore a lion apart with his bare hands. The demons tormented the King so that he could not sleep.. There was no rest to be found for him. DAVID SENT DEVILS FLEEING FROM KING SAUL'S BEDCHAMBER WITH PRAISE AND WORSHIP! Darkness cannot live where light is. I heard a preacher say once....Do you know how to make cock roaches run? Turn on the light. Do you know how to make demons run, turn on the light (JESUS). The Lord gave me a poem...........


Starve the Demons....Feed them Music



It is a wonderful place, this world I see,
Surrounded with the love of a devoted family.

The power to stand and work and play,
The honor to talk to the Father and pray.

You heard about David and all he did,
With music sent the demons flying from the King's bed.

There's power in music, I do declare,
The force of the enemy is stripped bare.

Let's starve those demons and make them thin.
Make music your love and play it again and again.

Peace and joy then flood the soul.
Bringing health to the bones so I am told.

So let's all sing our praises to Him,
Feed our souls peace, joy and health, amen and amen!


When the demons come to torment your mind or body don't reach for the pill bottle that will knock you out but reach for the music that will knock the enemy out. Be that anointed shepherd boy, you know the one, the giant killer...JUST THINKING OUT LOUD...GOD BLESS, LINDA

FILLING EMPTY PLACES

In the year 2000 I became a widow, a name I never thought I would be called. It left an empty place in my heart and my life. People were good to run in and out of my life for about three weeks and then everyone went back to their own life. The emptiness....the loneliness set in. There is no one to hold you at 3 in the morning. About three months after the funeral I heard a preacher teach on believers meetings. He asked if we knew what a believers meeting was. It is a meeting attended by only believers. No non Christians are assembled there. He said that every believer should have something to share at the meeting. Every believer should have spent enough time in the prayer closet with God to receive something from Him......a song, a spiritual song, a psalm or a word of prophesy. He said if you wanted God to give you a song just get in your prayer closet start praising Him and ask Him for a song and He would give you one. With childlike faith I went home to my prayer closet and began praising God and asked Him for a song. Just that quick He gave me one. I do not have a rhyming bone in my body so I knew it was God. The song was only a chorus but it brought me such joy I sang it from 10 at night till 3 in the morning......I had great joy because God had spoken a paragraph to me......A word from the King can change everything! I never asked God for another song but as is the custom of God He always over answers prayer and it is His delight to give His children good things. In the last 10 years He has given me over 250 poems songs and stories plus a book. Has He filled my empty places?????? YES! He has filled my cup and overflowed it! Filling empty places....go to your prayer closet begin your prayer with praise and remember one word from the King can make desert places bloom. An empty place is a blessed opportunity to go where you have never gone before....God Bless, LINDA

A GRATEFUL HEART

Wasn't yesterday wonderful, full of sunshine and spring breezes. I set off to go shopping. I was looking forward to it with great joy. I had not been able to shop for myself for a year and a half without collapsing for lack of air. I pulled into Aldi's handicapped parking. A man next to me was unloading his cart and I asked to buy it from him. I thanked him and he put his hand to a magnified throat apparatice and said thank you through the sound mechanism. And I thought, you should be grateful you can speak without help Linda. As I was cruising the first asile, a man and I reached for the same item, we laughed and exchanged greeting and blessed the sunshine. Sunshine makes happy faces have you noticed that? We met again in the 2nd asile and the third and the fourth and the fifth and he said you are just everywhere. Yes, I said that's what I do go everywhere. He had no idea that just a few months ago he could have got his groceries paid for them and loading them in the car before I made it to check out if I did not pass out. I shopped two more stores passing out smiles and sunshiny conversation, returned home unloaded my supplies and put them away within the hour. Used to take me two days to put a few things at a time away. I say all this to say what you all take for granted and do not notice is a gift from God. I stand here with a grateful heart that He is restoring to me, what the enemy stole, my very breath and strength. JUST DOING SOME BRAGGING ON GOD! Enjoy the sunshine! GOD BLESS, LINDA

I DON'T HAVE TO BOW

An evangelist came to town. He preached for 5 nights in 2 hour sessions. He preached on Mark:16 the great commission and the commands to cast out devils, lay hands on the sick that they may be healed. He asked me to write a song so I condensed 10 hours of the teaching into a 2 minute song..........



I DON'T HAVE TO BOW TO SICKNESS


I don't have to bow to sickness, I don't have to bow.
Jesus left His healing power, said I could use it now.
He said these signs shall follow, all who believe.
This sickness has to go, it just has to leave.
Go and preach the gospel, all around the world,
Heal the sick among you,by the power of His word.
Those demons of poverty, they just have to go.
In the precious name of Jesus, by the word you know.
Go and cast out demons, speak with other tongues,
By the power of His name, we'll just call it done.
By the power of His name, His blood will speak for me, Shouting from the throne of God, to a defeated enemy.
I don't have to bow to sickness, I don't have to bow.
Jesus left His healing power, said I could use it now!

IMAGINE THIS

I believe this year is going to be a year of promotion in the body of Christ. We will go where we have never gone before, we will be who we have never been before, we will see what we have never seen before and we will dream what we have never dreamed before. I have received so much word this past 10 days from preachers and teachers and the Bible that I am almost overwhelmed with the knowledge of God. I would share a few things with you today. Have you ever noticed that the generation that died in the wilderness were called the children of God, but the generation that crossed the Jordon into the promised land were then called the sons of God. God no longer dealt with them as children but started dealing with them as sons. The children had a look back attitude. They wanted to go back to the slavery of their past. They were scared to depend on God and go where they had never been. They operated in fear instead of faith, but the Joshua generation had no fear and they wanted to depend on God and go where they had never been. Did you also noticed that the generation who died warred for their survival but the generation that crossed over warred for their possessions. That is good word my friends. This is a gauge to see where you are in the body of Christ. Are you a child or are you a son? I thought about the Civil War when the slaves were freed. Many of them were lost. The world that was familiar to them was gone. They did not know how to do a new thing. They were confused and afraid. This was like being set free without any directions on how to survive. They had been slaves for generations. How would you respond if God plucked you out of your home and job and plopped you down in a new place to do a new thing? Would you yearn for the past and slavery or would you look toward the future and the promise that He would never leave or forsake you. Only faith will work in that new place my friend. God's word says He will do nothing except if He tells His Holy Prophets first. Let us take an adventure into a new place. I heard an international prophet relate a vision God had given him that happens a few years into the future. God took him to a place where they had found a cure for Alhiemerzs and the people were cured by the hundred of thousands. Imagine that. We know God can do it look at polio and other cures of the past. Now what happens? Lots of people will be out of jobs in the medical field and clinics and so forth. It will have an effect that shakes the world. They will go where they have never been before and do a new thing. He said God took him to a freeway where there was no noise. Imagine that. The wheels did not touch the pavement. Oil was no longer needed. Sounds like a sci-if movie doesn't it? There was no pollution of noise,smog or fumes. That is especially hard for a man to conceive, because men like noise...... from the time they are babies they are taught to play with cars and trucks saying buuuden, buuuden. A place without noise imagine that. What happens to the world economy at that point? Wars will end, the middle east would lose their power and wealth the banking system of the world would be shaken. It would be a place we have never been before, doing what we never did before, seeing what we have never seen before. I pray I have given you lots of food for thought today. God can do a new thing. Will you be a child or a son? JUST IMAGINE THIS...........God Bless, LINDA

WHY DO HEARTS CRY

Why do hearts cry?
Because someone is not listening,
That's the reason why.

Some hearts make no outward sign of their pain.
You have to listen close.
Go searching for that heart within.

Listening is the key to all that can go wrong.
This used to be a happy heart,
Filled with rejouicing and song.

Some hide their heart with comedy,
So you will never see.
Their secret heart is ever weeping silently.

You are the keeper of your brother's heart,
And listening is the key.
So let's heal all the wounds, by simply listening

SUNDAY MORNING

Come Sunday morning and bless my day.
Let us rest awhile, from how the world plays.

Let us breathe in the fragrance of peace.
Healing to wounded souls, release.

Let us greet each other with a Holy embrace,
While bright shiny smiles adorn our face.

Let the music in our hearts begin to flow.
As the tenderness for our brothers grow.

Let us give praises to the mighty King,
As the bells of joy begin to ring.

Come Lord Jesus surround us with your love,
As angels watch over us from heaven above.

A GLIMPSE OF SPRING

It has been a long hard, cold winter. I long for spring. Sit back, relax and let my words paint you a picture. A glimpse of spring.








COFFEE WITH HIM


So, what are you doing in the morning?
Having coffee under the front porch awning?
Watch the sunrise with the colored hues?
Enjoy the deer, with the baby as they come into view?
Just sit quietly before the rest of the world wakes?
Enjoy the peace before the noise of the lawn mowers for goodness sakes?
Hear the lonesome whistle of the morning train?
Watch it sprinkle before it rains?
The dew on the roses is a lovely sight.
The thunder shatters the silence, what a fright.
Now it is time to be up, up and away.
It was so lovely, saying a prayer, spending time with Him.
Simply enjoying His creation.
Now, it is time to go, though I would rather stay.
But what an awesome beginning to the rest of the day!
