The Cross & The Crown

For every walled garden; for every climbing rose: for the fragrance of every wild flower - in every wild meadow…for every brook and stream, every winding, leafy lane…every rolling hill; every patchwork of field and hedgerow. For the stone-built church that still points upwards, because Your Word is etched down deep into its foundations: For the stone cottage and the corner shop; for the sound of the waves and the smell of the sea. For everything that is England, that reminds us of everything that is still good (Luke 18:19)…everything that is of you (James1:17) For the glory of your coming redemption, upon all of these things:  For the multitudes of people who you have shown me, WILL enter in to Your Kingdom.  For the changing face of Great Britain - from one of Anglo-Saxon Celt,  to the most beautiful array of color and race ever seen..for the multitude of culture and religion that YOU have brought to this country…and who You will bring into the Kingdom… For their coming ...

 Why Lord? “I had been asking the Lord for answers - on seemingly unanswered issues concerning my loved ones - on issues concerning me: “Why do you seem to move so powerfully for others, but not me? Why do you use me to minister so powerfully to others, yet my issues - my loved ones’ issues seem to remain unresolved?- where are you Lord?  I should have known that You would answer me directly through your Word - and you did… Romans 5:1-5 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. Hebrews 10:32-39 Think bac...

 A Testimony  In 1996, while I was in college, I was given a evangelism track by a friend. This small booklet explained to me (a humanist at the time) the full Gospel: man’s fallen state, through Adam; our separation from God, who is perfect and holy; and what He (God) did to take away this separation. I read the track, was convicted of my sin, repented and acknowledged Jesus Christ as 1. The Son of God, who is God 2. The Lord and sovereign of my life 3. My Savior from death and Hell. I did not realize then, that what happened at that moment, had not only saved my soul, but was going to keep me from falling…over and over again. Doctrines of demons…in the House of God “God’s Word is not scripture, God’s word is the message you are hearing from God, and then you speak forth and you attract the reality that you speak.”  This above quote from Joel Osteen, Your Best Life Now, is a New Age/New Thought teaching known as the Law of Attraction…and is a mainstream teaching in but n...

And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand. Romans 14:4 This was written concerning the warriors in Great Britain - but it can be received by any Christian, in any nation: anyone with a heart to serve the Lord, but who has become heavy leaden and drowsy with the weariness of living the everyday life:  It is for Christians in genuine places of pain and hardship - but it is also:  for Christians seeing their children off to school, for Christians doing housework, shopping, waiting at bus stops, at train stations… for Christians in supermarkets, factories, offices, manual jobs; also teachers and nurses… for Christians in high stress lives…and for those that seem to be going around in a cycle - the same routine over and over…loneliness, fatigue - even boredom.  This word is for you: “For I say to you stand - stand to your posts -  (Matthew 25:1-13) And await my instructions.  For those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.  I hav...

 Harpazó Definition: to seize, catch up, snatch away harpázō – properly, seize by force; snatch up, suddenly and decisively; to take by an open display of force (i.e. not covertly or secretly). See 1Thess 4:16-17 Why with such force? If we picture during the tribulation: The incredible increase of evil in the second heaven, where satan operates. It is no wonder that the Lord will  take possession of His own - snatch us up to the third Heaven - with such great force. The word was described by one native Greek speaker as a term you would use as if snatching a child from the path of an oncoming car: in other words: to be snatched up from the path of great and life threatening danger. Which is why I believe we must face tribulation, to some degree (John 16:33) so that we can be snatched from it. We cannot escape it.  The Lord is so good…He wants as many of us to be ready and willing to be “snatched away”…so He will increase the pressure upon us in the earth, and the unleashin...

 #fastforfamily ~~~Excerpt from post: May 2021 Kim Clement: “The Lord’s just told me that “as you pray I will send back what has been isolated…There has been an isolation of inspiration. But now I will restore inspiration that will raise the dead…I will do unusual miracles…if you would just ask me…for tonight I will begin…with you…and your house!”” I’m sure many people saw different interpretations as to what had been “isolated”…I saw fathers.~~~ (Mal. 4:5-6) But there will not be a full realization and release for these husbands/fathers into their place in God’s order, without we who are wives/mothers recognizing and embracing ours. So what in the Church, does that look like? - “…but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious. For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands, as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord...

  In the final days The Cross of Jesus Christ will be lifted up high above the nations of the earth …so that every nation can see. The Light will shine in the darkness…and the darkness will not overcome it. The people who walk in darkness will see…they will see what they had never seen before…and hear what they had never heard. They will see this Light clearly because of the depth of the darkness that is coming on the earth.   Isaiah 5:20 The Lord is and will, remove the veil…clear away the fog…  He will thoroughly expose darkness for what it is, so His Light can be seen for what it is (Gen 1:4);  He will t horoughly expose evil, for what it is…for a season…a specific time…so that His true Goodness can also be clearly seen…so that humanity can  clearly   choose ; Life or death. Because He is  merciful (2Peter 3:9;  Romans 2:4)  “And many throughout the kingdoms of the Earth will run towards My Life - My Goodness, in this late our. You my...
