If you can listen carefully you'll hear intercession for American in this stomp.

Celebrating what's inside coming out.

Tidings of peace in a time of war.

“Finally, be ye all of the same mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: not rendering evil for evil, nor railing for railing: but contrawise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing" - 1 Peter 3:8&9 KJV.

" Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil nor insult with insult, but blessing, because to this your were called so that you may inherit a blessing" - 1 Peter 3:8&9 NIV.

"Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and YOUR FEET SHOD WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE" - Ephesians 6:14&15 KJV.

Here's a little guided meditation, if you will, sort of inspired by Justin Abraham. I'm tapping into what he's seeing but somehow discovering a vein of glory all to myself. Just felt right to share it so we can all walk together in the LIGHT!

"Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, and in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom" - Psalm 51:6

My testimony isn’t that i was gay and now i’m not. Neither is it that I was a homosexual and now i’m a heterosexual. Being a new creature in Christ Jesus surpasses all of these labels. My testimony of Jesus is that we each have a unique expression to bear. it’s image and likeness of God! Perhaps you could regard it as the crosses we bear. Regardless, the presence of Jesus Christ in the untold depths of humanity is immanent! He is there in the most unspeakable of churnings within us all! So listen carefully to what i’m saying here! And also to what i’m not saying! This topic has been a source of great ambivalence for me! Being genuine is the only way to go!

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” - Psalm 46:1

Experiencing God's presence in the face of trouble can look like solace in a refuge, I guess. Why not let it make you a bit cocky?

Don't you just hate it when the bible goes and contradicts itself. It may be a field day for atheists, skeptics, and generally unpleasant people. But in this case it happened to provide a springboard for another rant, which I tried unsuccessfully to pass off as a "teaching"... LOL!

"Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; MINE EARS THOU HAS OPENED: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required" - Psalm 40:6 KJV.

When you have to resort to activism and forfeit personal sovereignty about climate change instead of walking in divine favor and taking dominion of the creation it means you're in this "gross darkness" that Isaiah warned about. For this reason the people ceased to perceive Jesus as the Miracle Worker and Son of God. He walked through the hour when "darkness reigned" and they couldn't recognize Him anymore. He was just flesh. So they crucified Him. How have our minds been blinded to our place in the creation? I'd say the hysteria of what to do about the environmental matters are much more about our significance here in relation with God than any excesses or emissions we're supposed to feel guilty about.

"For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee" - Isaiah 60:2 KJV.

“But this is your moment, the time when the power of darkness reigns” - Luke 22:53 NLT.

You can only be whimsical to the persniketty when things seem so serious but you've already turned to a broad filled of perception (repentance).

The Song of the LORD visited me in my circuits on the track at my gym. Just a couple days prior I was contemplating 1 Chronicles 6:31&32 about the minstrels David assigned to his tabernacle. I felt I was coming out of that same vein whilst walking. Could it be this was fellowship with the Choir from the Cloud? "I have written unto you, fathers... I have written unto you, fathers... I have written unto you, fathers... Patriarchy rise!"

"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose" - Romans 8:28 (NKJV).

“They bruised (Joseph’s) feet with shackles, his neck was put in irons, till what he foretold came to pass, till the word of the LORD proved him true” - Psalm 105:18&19 (NIV).

“From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus” - Galatians 6:17 (NIV).

ZEAL! The inability to analyze and scrutinize everything that comes out of you while being unable to contain it. UNDERSTAND! To whatever measure you are not being true to yourself - however much what's inside is not coming out - YOU'RE BACKSLIDEN! So repent! Here's what's in me! What's in you???

"The simple hearkening unto that voice is the mortification of your flesh".

"Here's your warfare, babies. Just be yourself".

"For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live" - Romans 8:13 (KJV).

If you lend your ear - there's a new frequency buzzing. Your volume control or streaming connection can't stop it. There is an ascent unto ecstasies happening! I can't wait to see you all beaming with so much joy you just come out of your skin!

Prayer T.A.R.G.E.T. C_ngress. Let's be stirred up by way of remembrance for the divine compact made by God with the patriots and pioneers that forged this nation. The Sons of the Republic have awakened. Despite the opposition "the LORD is able to make them stand" (Rom. 14:4). Shall we play a game? Let's pray!

Let's face down a few giants with David so we can "reign as kings in this life" (Rom.5:17) and never be removed from our element or God's purposes for our lives.

"Now when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to search for David. And David heard of it and went down to the stronghold. The Philistines also went and deployed themselves in the Valley of Rephaim. So David inquired of the Lord, saying, 'Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?' And the Lord said to David, 'Go up, for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into your hand.' So David went to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there; and he said, 'The Lord has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of water'. Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim. And they left their images there, and David and his men carried them away. Then the Philistines went up once again and deployed themselves in the Valley of Rephaim. Therefore David inquired of the Lord, and He said, 'You shall not go up; circle around behind them, and come upon them in front of the mulberry trees. And it shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then you shall advance quickly. For then the Lord will go out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines'. And David did so, as the Lord commanded him; and he drove back the Philistines from Geba as far as Gezer" - 2 Samuel 5:17-25.
