We travelled up to Cold Spring, New York to accept an invitation to minister at the Walter Hoving Home Rehab for women on Sunday evening. In the morning we attended the morning service at Church on the Hill where the director of the home, Beth Greco’s husband pastors. After the worship Tim Greco ask me to greet the congregation and to my surprise asked if I possibly had something to share with the church instead of his sermon. Talk about being instant in season and out of season! Beth said if he had put her on a spot like that she would have had his life! LOL !

I certainly learned a lesson in obedience as I stepped up to the platform without notes, preparation or even my Bible and only the leading of the Holy Spirit. Would you believe I shared a word that the pastor had previously prepared to share? So awesome to witness the Holy Spirit move in this way!

CHALLENGE:-Don’t only memorize but also practice the following scriptures for you never know when the Lord will call upon you!

2 Timothy 4:2-5 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

2 Peter 2:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts:and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear

Praying that the sleeping giant the church will wake up and take a stand like this Rabbi!

Where are the voices of the leaders of the Lord’s army?

Ephesians 5:14-16 Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

The Church is called to action not passivity!

Luke 19:13 Occupy till I come.

1 Timothy 1:12 Fight the good fight of faith.

Take a few moments to watch this video and be motivated to take a stand for righteousness before we lose the freedom to do so.

Exodus 32:26 Who is on the Lord ‘s side?

Stand up and be counted today!

Blooming for Him in the Garden of the World.

Dear Father,

As I sit in silent contemplation and admire the beauty of the work of your hands, hear the birds sing your praises, feel the heat of the sun, and be covered by a cloudless sky, I am amazed, for surely these all declare your majesty and awesomeness!

As I reflect, I have to question who am I that you would be concerned with me? I will never fathom Your love and mercy and yet I believe it with all my heart.

Oh, Papa, may my life declare your majesty and grace as much as the creation of nature echoes your awesomeness!

Dear Child,

Creation just naturally fulfills the purpose it was created for. It doesn’t strive to do anything else! It never doubts My sovereignty but without effort awaits each season, knowing each season has a unique purpose.

But I cannot commune with nature, I cannot fellowship with nature. Only man was created in My image, to fellowship and commune with Me!

All of this beauty was created for man! And man was created to relate to Me!

As you commune and fellowship with Me, your life is declaring My majesty and mercy, for by faith in My mercy, you are trusting My sovereignty and majesty! You are a vessel to display that majesty and mercy, but you must allow Me to fill the vessel daily or you will run dry

                                                             Thus saith Papa

Psa 8:3 -4 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 

Jer 18:2-4 Arise, and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words. Then I went down to the potter’s house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.

Just as creation brings glory to His name by simply fulfilling its purpose, even so, as we fellowship with Him we are fulfilling the reason He created us in His image; that we might have the capacity to commune with Him.

As we make that journey each day to the Potter’s house, we are yielding to His sovereign Hand, as He molds and shapes us into a vessel for His glory and honor to display His faithfulness and mercy on the earth.

CHALLENGE: Are you making that journey each day to the Potter’s house, and spending time on the wheel that He may mold your life that it might display, not only the signature of the Creator, but also His majesty and grace.

A Westie Free to Good Home! LOL

May 30, 2015 by Leave a Comment

It was with an angry outburst, to say the least, that I returned home yesterday to find my Westie had industrially destroyed my flower garden, uprooting plants that had been planted with such care and love, and the pathway covered in dirt, thrown in all directions. My first reaction was, “Iona, you’re a goner!”

Then this morning I recall a time many years ago when one of my twin toddlers, Patsy, industriously pulled up all my plants after she noticed her father weeding the flower bed. To Patsy’s mind she was helping her Dad. After being scolded her Dad told her “No more!”. To our surprise she turned to her Dad with her tiny finger pointed and repeated “No More”. The first words she ever spoke.

The Lord used this as a window to my soul and reminded me how often we think we are helping our Heavenly Father by uprooting ourselves from situations He has placed us in to enable us to bloom more profusely. Instead we are industriously and often emotionally digging away at our roots to get out of the situation with our free will decisions thrown in all directions as we finish digging that hole for ourselves to find the pathway of our lives covered with confusion, discouragement and disappointment. In our finite minds we think we are helping! It could be a situation in the church God has planted you in, a workplace, a relationship, or even a marriage.

Just as a Westie’s nature is to dig,dig,dig! our fallen nature is to be rebellious and self willed but you know what? God is still willing to sup with us. Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock:if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me

By the way my Westie, Iona, is still with me and supping a cup of tea with me and I am so glad God didn’t get rid of me when I dug up and tried to mess up His Plans for my life. Thank you, Iona, for this window to my soul.

CHALLENGE: Don’t try to help the Great Gardener in the seasons of your life with your childlike finite mind. Only His infinite mind knows His eternal purposes.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope

Baptism of Holy Spirit

May 28, 2015 by Leave a Comment

As the church celebrated the Feast of Pentecost last Sunday ushering in the birth of the church, I wanted to inspire your walk with a short teaching on the glorious baptism of the Holy Spirit.

CHALLENGE: I ask you today as Paul asked the Ephesian church “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” And they said, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit. Acts 19:2

May you be blessed and inspired by my short video on the mighty Baptism of the Holy Spirit

which I pray will answer some of your questions.
