Don't be discouraged!
Jesus Gave His Life to save a dying world.
2 Timothy 3: 13
But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
2 Thessalonians 2:13-17 (New Living Translation)
As for us, we can't help but thank God for you, dear brothers and sisters loved by the Lord. We are always thankful that God chose you to be among the first to experience salvation—a salvation that came through the Spirit who makes you holy and through your belief in the truth. He called you to salvation when we told you the Good News; now you can share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. With all these things in mind, dear brothers and sisters, stand firm and keep a strong grip on the teaching we passed on to you both in person and by letter. Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal comfort and a wonderful hope, comfort you and strengthen you in every good thing you do and say.

Trains...The Journey!
For the past three and a half years, I have been having dreams of me in train stations in strange lands. My journey usually starts in an unknown city in the united States. In Rail YARDS, I am usually walking along the rail line to get to my starting off point. I travel light, I usually have a small bag with me...very easy to carry, and I have books. I travel alone always...I never have a companion.
Sometimes the Journey is the train yard, there I will meet all manner of people, but they don't seem to see me. My task seems to be to observe my surroundings. My task is to pay attention to that which I encounter on the way to the station. Trains pass me by in the rail yards and the spirit of the Lord tells me to be still, and to fear not. And then I can pay attention.
It seems as though the purpose of the trains are to destroy me...not to transport me. Not always, but mostly. and when I enter each train, I experience a turbulent ride...The spirit of the Lord tells me not to be weary, because sometimes I just want to let go of the hand rails and allow the train to toss me about because I get tired of the calamity. The spirit of the lord strengthens my arms to hold on, and comforts my heart to be at peace.
Throughout each journey, I pay attention to the people in attendance, the conversations...the colors, sounds and mannerisms of the passengers are all things that I am charged to pay attention to. Sometimes the trains take me to this one spot in the North West area of Africa, Tunisia...there is a great waterfall and a natural dam. My task is to stand in the waters….There are families and children playing around a great divide….
When I first started having the dreams years ago...as I arrived at my destination...I was like everyone else there, just standing in the water, being taken by the waves, and returned to the shores.
But with each passing dream, the Spirit of the Lord tells me that he is going to cleans the land….He will do a new work. The people in attendance are usually troubled In their mind, impoverished in their spirit, and sick in their bodies. The waters rise and they fall, and people are set free…
With each passing year and with each dream...I am recognized more and more by the vacationers, people step into the waters after they have been stirred...and as I stand in the water, The tides rise , but they don't overtake me...and the water is troubled, and all who enter are set free. When the waters recede and settle, the people once again can not see me. I become invisible.
I believe the invisibility to mean that it is not me, but CHRIST in me. And when I am walking by the train tracks being taught by the spirit of the Lord….He hides me from my enemies; when the trains try to run me down, He is an ever-present help in times of trouble. When I enter the trains as a passenger, and experience turbulent journeys, it is because in this life we shall suffer tribulations and persecutions, and how can I be used to help someone overcome a situation...if I have been through nothing myself. It is important for us to pay attention to our surroundings, learn something from our journey...Help someone else up and out. Jesus has overcome the World, and God will deliver us from the hand of our enemies.
He sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, and to set at liberty them that are bruised, TO PREACH THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD.
All of my dreams have the same underlying theme...Deliverance!
GOD WANTS OUR ATTENTION!!!!

Be Still...
Sometimes we miss what God is doing in our lives "today", because we get anxious for "tomorrow". When we think we see the big picture, we get in a rush, we misstep, we stumble, and the path we are on becomes difficult...but God is calling us to be still...to be patient and at peace...and then we can hear his voice and get direction.
John 10:4-5
4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
Psalm 23:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
Psalm 107:29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
Philippians 4:6-7
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Fear Not
Affirmation given to me By the Lord:
And I saw Him walking across the shore...sweeping the sand with the sleeve of His robe. Jesus….I whispered...I asked him to pluck me from the sand, a storm was coming, and I was afraid. He leaned down and whispered back...“Fear not”...You will remain on these shores, for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. He told me to trust him with all my heart, and not to lean to my own understanding. When thou passeth through the waters I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee.
He shod my feet with the preparation of the Gospel of Peace, and then he told me my steps were ordered by him… he lit my path and girded my loins with the Gospel of truth. He placed upon my chest a breastplate of righteousness. He placed upon my head a helmet of salvation. He gave me a sword of the spirit and he placed it in my mouth; he said it is the word of God, and he told me to pray always with supplication in the spirit.
He told me to watch with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; and for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the Gospel.
He gave me a shield, He said it was the shield of faith...and then...He gave me a measure of faith, he said it was Now Faith, he said it was the substance of things I hoped for , and the evidence of those things I did not see. He told me I would be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked with it.
The storm arose, and he said...I will not leave you or forsake you.
His Word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path; He has delivered my soul from death. He will deliver my feet from falling, and I will walk before God in the light of the living.
I sought out Wisdom, and embraced her, I grabbed hold of understanding. He said Wisdom was more precious than rubies; and all the things I could desire could not be compared to her. He said length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand are riches and honor. He said that all her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. He said by wisdom he founded the earth; by understanding he established the heavens, and by His knowledge the depths are broken up...he told me to keep both of them in my sight, to keep sound wisdom and discretion. He said they shall be life unto my soul, and grace to my neck. He said then shall I walk in my way safely, and my foot shall not stumble. When I lie down, I shall not be afraid. He said that my sleep shall be sweet.
He told me not to be afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked when it comes. For the Lord shall be my confidence, and shall keep my foot from being taken. He told me to Line up with the Word of God...He said...Follow me, and Goodness and Mercy shall follow you.
Fear Not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back. Bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth. He said to let them give Glory unto the Lord, and declare his praise. He told me to be strong in the Lord , and in the power of His might, He gave me an armor, He said that he has clothed me with a garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. He told me that he has anointed me to preach the Gospel to the poor.
He was sending me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, and to set at liberty them that are bruised, TO PREACH THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD.
There are times when fear grips our hearts, and the enemy would have us to believe that we are alone, and hopeless. It is during those times that we believe that we may have taken a wrong turn somewhere.
Yes...we may be living our lives according to the precepts that the Lord has laid out for us, but somehow we feel lost, and afraid.
It was during a time such as this that the Lord spoke to my heart.
Calming my spirit, and encouraging me to move forward. He reminded me of who I am in him.
Isaiah 35: 3-4
Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompense; he will come and save you.
