Believe

 Forgive me, dear friends, for taking. So long to write again.There were issues with my blogspot link, which was somehow considered ‘insecure’ and kept people from reading my blog. We seem to be back on track once again. Thank you for persevering with me.

     I wanted to write and encourage you, to give you hope for 2023. If you have not been a follower of Elijah Streams or any modern day prophets, you might see nothing but gloom ahead. Or even if you have been faithfully listening to God’s words of encouragement over the past 2 years, you might be wondering if any of these rhema messages were truly from God. It seems to be taking so much longer than we all thought. .

     However, let me speak as strongly as I possibly can: Do not give up believing that these messages have been from Him and that they SHALL come to pass. There has been so much radical cleanup necessary, deeper and farther and more widespread than we even imagined.. We truly had no idea how bad things were.

     The Ekklesia, the (remnant) governmental Church, is praying, believing, and decreeing, and it must continue to do so. We are partnering with Him in the greatest move of history ever. We musn’t let the enemy convince us that it was all for naught. He’s desperate to get us to stop believing God and stop decreeing, especially his own downfall.

     We must stand up and SPEAK forth from both God’s LOGOS word and His currently spoken RHEMA word: what He says HAS already happened, what IS happening, what He says WILL happen, and what His WILL is for us, for this nation, and for the world. [Romans 4:17] We must know who we are as warriors. Our shoes aren’t just shod with ‘the gospel of peace’, they are shod in combat boots! [Proverbs 22:22]

     Let’s not be like the Israelites in the desert who whined, complained, and refused to believe where God was taking them. They maligned God’s character and doubted His word, because all they could ‘see’ was what was right in front of them, what they were currently experiencing.

     Let’s make God’s heart glad by thanking Him for what He has done, is doing, and will do. Believe Him! Speak forth what He is speaking. Rejoice in His goodness. Trust Him with our whole hearts.

     Besides listening to Elijah Streams on Rumble (they were banned by YouTube) or at Elijahstreams.com, listen to people like Julie Green and Tim Sheets. Tim has a new book (print or Kindle) called Prayers and Decrees, as well as a slightly older one called Angel Armies. I have both and have been specifically decreeing from them. 

     We musn’t allow ourselves to be weighed down by discouragement. Let’s listen to God’s streaming instead of secular media sources. Our whole understanding of what is real will be radically altered. We’ll see before us the vision of His plans.

     If you’ve already been listening, and doubt has crept in, banish it right now in Jesus’ Name. Rejoice and be thankful that everything He has said IS coming to pass. Don’t be concerned about individual misunderstandings of particular prophecies. He IS rescuing our world, and NOTHING can stop Him. Nothing is impossible for Him. Stand up, cheer and shout! 

“God is good, His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures from generation to generation.” Hallelujah!

available from people like Patricia King, Brenda Kunneman (Daily Decree YT*) and Wanda Alger, and I have put some together myself…from God’s written word, as well as those which have come via trustworthy prophetic people with a track record of prophecies fulfilled. “Rejoice, rejoice, and again I say, Rejoice!”

*Daily Decree (Brenda Kunneman, YouTube) on January 3, 2023 contains a good explanation of why we decree.

Turn Around, Look at Me

 

Do song lyrics pop in your head from time to time, even ones you wish wouldn’t appear there?  As I stop to really think about particular songs that pop up in my mind, the love-or-die lyrics make me chuckle. Actually, more seriously, the ‘can’t live  without you’ messages are downright idolatrous. As teens, we were susceptible to them, however, stuck in what the Lee Ezell referred to as The Cinderella Syndrome. 

   As I grew older and my faith and relationship with the Lord deepened, I began to see the deceptive nature of these songs (old and new). So when tunes popped into my head, I began creating Christian lyrics for them…or I sang the love songs directly to the Lord. Here’s an old one the Lettermen used to sing in my teenage years

“ There is someone walking behind you. 

Turn around, look at me.

There is someone watching your footsteps

Turn around, look at me..
There is someone, who really loves you...
Here's my heart, in my hand..
Turn around, Look at me..
Understand, ...
That there's someone..
To stand beside you..
Turn around, look at me..
There's someone to love and guide you,
Turn around, look at me...
I've been waiting,
But I'll wait forever..
For you to come to me...
Look at someone, who really loves you..
Turn around, look at me.”

     When we lived in Cape Canaveral, the Disney ship would play the beginning of “When you wish upon a star” as they were leaving port. I do not wish on stars, and didn’t want to find myself unconsciously singing that song when it lodged itself in my head. So I created new lyrics for the tune:
“When you pray to God above, you will meet a heart of love
When you pray to God above, He’ll answer you.
If your heart is in your prayers, you will never need despair
When you pray to God above, He’ll answer you.”

Go ahead, try it. 

   Since then I’ve found numerous songs I can sing directly to Jesus, to the Father, and to Holy Spirit…or at least adapt for the purpose. Ever watch the musical ‘The Fantasticks’?  There’s a song that begins, Love, you are love, better far than any metaphor can ever, ever be. Love, you are love, my mystery of love.” 

   When you hear oldies (or ‘newies’) on the air, or get a song stuck in your head that glorifies humans, see if you can turn it into a love song for Yeshua. He’ll get a kick out of it.
