Let There Be Light (Illumination)

9/10/2021 Jesus said, “In this world you will have trouble. Behold, I have overcome the world.”  Trouble is everywhere. Trouble comes in many forms. Predominantly, in the world, right now, it has taken on the form of Covid 19. Hurricane Ida has devastated many.  Earthquakes are in the news. A building collapsed for no apparent reason. Terrorist regimes continue to threaten countries. Immigrants by the thousands are trying to relocate and survive.  Governments are failing. The people of the nations are in upheavals. Businesses are failing. Crops are failing. Fires are bringing great devastation.  Yet, unless one of these or other troubles directly affects us we stand remotely detached even though many suffer all around us. We must be alert and ask the Lord to reveal to us what He is doing through or in spite of all of it.  The Lord has said in many places in scripture, men are stiff necked or stubborn and have hearts of stone. The Lord has said what is good and w...

Multitudes in the Valley of Decision. Don’t Measure the Outer Courts where They Are August 21, 2021 The detail with which our Father wants to communicate with us has begun to overwhelm me. I cannot write what He is revealing fast enough.  As understanding comes, the overwhelming reality of how we only skim the surface of knowing what He desires for us to hear is heartbreaking.   We are perishing for lack of knowledge. We are perishing for lack of knowing Him. How did we ever become satisfied with weekly rituals and bondages requiring so much business that there is little time to mature and listen in His Presence? Today, the Lord kept speaking, “Listen”. He took me through thoughts of visits with our spiritual father that we thought were random. Yet, with every visit distortion of truth was revealed. Once a distortion was exposed, we had to go to the Lord and let Him expose the fullness of how we entered into it and repent of it. That is, when we finally got it. For a long...

  August 17, 2021 Apprenticeship in having one’s mind renewed by the Holy Spirit to think as our Father thinks and go His way will empower one to know the House is God’s Family. It includes all of His sons (neither male nor female because it is our spirits and souls, not our bodies that are saved)  in heaven and on the earth. It is Christ’s many-membered Body (numberless, according to the Revelation). Our Father continually, lovingly, refers to us as Zion.  As Deacon and I have submitted to apprenticeship (I love this new analogy He has imparted) by the Spirit of God, the mind of Christ has radically changed us and our lives.  We had come to experience regret at how it seemed we had wasted our whole lives wanting to please God only to find we had fallen into the trap of attributing traditions and doctrines of men to the thinking and ways of our Father.  The Lord blessed me, recently, by imparting the knowledge that we had simply been apprenticed by the world and...

Written August 13, 2021 With intention, each morning, Deacon and I spend time together centering our hearts on what the Holy Spirit is teaching us after we each have had personal time listening to the Lord. Periodically, someone will come visit and we have a crowd!  We zoom regularly and communicate with those in our tribe and others who are hungry that our Father has assembled us with. We have truly come to understand that, “where two or three are gathered in Christ’s Name (representing all He is) I Am is in our midst. Doug Allen has brought us to understand the bigger the crowd, the more we can be distracted from focusing and listening to the Holy Spirit. It is true.  I had asked Deacon what the Lord had shown him to which he commented, I’m still in Psalms. I’m still reading about David’s enemies.  Immediately, the Holy Spirit brought to my mind the scriptures that told of David slaying 1000 men and bringing their foreskins back to show Saul, who was King, at the time. ...
