❤️ God’s Word

 I Have Stored Up Your Word in My Heart

Let’s read part of Psalm 119:1-16 because it’s the longest of the Psalms and contains 176 verses. It’s known for its lyrical way of describing “walk in the law” to mean to consistently follow the path that God has revealed through His Word leading us to a blessed life. 

It’s one of more popular Psalms because it reflects the plots, the slanders, and taunts against believer’s. Over history, many have claimed this Psalm as their favorite including Martin Luther. 

• Bishop Cowper called it “a Holy Alphabet.” 
• Philip Henry recommended to his children that they take a verse of it every morning “and meditate upon it, and so go over the Psalm twice in a year, and that will bring you to be in love with all the rest of Scripture.” 

Another prominent theme in Psalm 119 is the profound truth that the Word of God is all-sufficient. Psalm 119 is an expansion of Psalm 19:7–9: “The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes. The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the LORD are sure and altogether righteous.” 

There are eight different terms referring to the Word of God throughout the psalm: law, testimonies, precepts, statues, commandments, judgments, word, and ordinances. 

In almost every verse, the Word of God is mentioned. Psalm 119 affirms not only the character of the Scriptures, but it affirms that God’s Word reflects the very character of God Himself. 

Notice these attributes of God ascribed to Scripture in Psalm 119:

1. Righteousness (verses 7, 62, 75, 106, 123, 138, 144, 160, 164, 172)
2. Trustworthiness (verse 42)
3. Truthfulness (verses 43, 142, 151, 160)
4. Faithfulness (verse 86)
5. Unchangeableness (verse 89)
6. Eternality (verses 90,152)
7. Light (verse 105)
8. Purity (verse 140)

These are the lessons for us in this great psalm. The Word of God is sufficient to make us wise, train us in righteousness, and equip us for every good work (2 Timothy 3:15–17). Hallelujah!

Let’s begin with the first verse.

1 Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the Lord! 

We are blameless when we are undefiled. People destroy themselves with sin. The only safe path to walk close to God. He helps us walk in His ways! Such holy walkers enjoy a peace that is far better than having lots of money or being famous. This psalm, like the Sermon on the Mount, begins with good wishes. Our holy faith is filled with blessings. 

2  Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, who seek him with their whole heart, 3  who also do no wrong, but walk in his ways!

Where the whole heart loves the Word of God, the whole life will be clean, and no evil habits will be allowed. Yet even those who keep his Word need to look for God more and more. Their goal is to learn the Word of God so we can walk in His ways perfectly, but absolute perfection is not reached in this life.

4  You have commanded your precepts to be kept diligently. 5  Oh that my ways may be steadfast in keeping your statutes! 

What a mercy when our prayer is to keep God’s commandments.  As far as our views, desires and affections aligned with the influence of The Holy Spirit. These two verses show us that what God wants his people to desire His ways so we do not defile ourselves. “It is God who works in [us], both to will and to work for his good pleasure.” 

6  Then I shall not be put to shame, having my eyes fixed on all your commandments.

True obedience does not pick and choose. It is happy with all the rules of the Lord. If we begin to say, “this rule does not apply to me” and, “that rule does not apply to me,” where will we stop? The only way a person can truly live and walk with God is to sincerely obey all the commands of God. Then even those who hate them cannot say anything against them that is actually true. We all need great grace from our great God to live this way. 

7  I will praise you with an upright heart, when I learn your righteous rules. 

The result of all of our learning should be to worship God. The more we know of God Word in our studies helps us in our Prayers. As we build our knowledge of God, we understand him and we can Praise Him. This is our aim of our studying His Word and the result of it. 

8  I will keep your statutes; do not utterly forsake me! 

Deciding to keep God’s laws is good, but we need to pray and ask God to help us keep them. The last sentence,”do not utterly forsake me” should be on our lips every day. What a disaster it would be if our Lord deserted us!

9  How can a young man keep his way pure? 

By guarding it!  Be on guard we are told according to The Word of God. This verse asks a very big question and then gives a very good answer. All people young and old should think seriously about both the question and the answer. Grace in the heart is the person’s best life insurance.

10 With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments! 

Those who are most sincere in their Christian walk of faith are the most afraid of failing in it. This concern is wise. However good intentions will not protect us from sin. The most eager seeker after God will soon wander into terrible sin unless the grace of God keeps them safe. We must pray protection over ourselves! Ephesians 6

11 I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you. 

The best thing we can do is place God’s Word in the best place. . . which is in our hearts. When we Mediate on His Word it is placed in our hearts. For practices like journaling and breaking down verses like I am doing here on this devotional blog create God’s word to be stored within my heart. I love ❤️ the Word of God so much!!

12 Blessed are you, O Lord; teach me your statutes! 

David gives God glory and asks God to give him grace. Prayers and praises should go together making for a grateful heart. 

13 With my lips I declare all the rules of your mouth. 

Those who can speak well should speak often for their Lord. 

14 In the way of your testimonies I delight as much as in all riches. 

In the last verse he says that he had guided others in the way of truth. In this he rejoices that he himself has accepted God’s word. When we share what we are learning, our testimony ignites faith among those who are listening!  Try it out and see for yourself.

15 I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways. 16 I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word.

What the heart delights in, the mind remembers. It’s A warm heart does not forget the Lord’s word. Let us seek the Word of God in all His ways! Is our heart warm?

OPPOSITION

 

The Law of Opposition 

To him who overcomes… REVELATION 2:7

Life without war is impossible in the natural or the supernatural realm. It is a fact that there is a continuing struggle in the physical, mental, moral, and spiritual areas of life.

Health is the balance between the physical parts of my body and all the things and forces surrounding me. To maintain good health I must have sufficient internal strength to fight off the things that are external. Everything outside my physical life is designed to cause my death. The very elements that sustain me while I am alive work to decay and disintegrate my body once it is dead. If I have enough inner strength to fight, I help to produce the balance needed for health. The same is true of the mental life. If I want to maintain a strong and active mental life, I have to fight. This struggle produces the mental balance called thought.

Morally it is the same. Anything that does not strengthen me morally is the enemy of virtue within me. Whether I overcome, thereby producing virtue, depends on the level of moral excellence in my life. But we must fight to be moral. Morality does not happen by accident; moral virtue is acquired.

And spiritually it is also the same. Jesus said, “In the world you will have tribulation…” (John 16:33). This means that anything which is not spiritual leads to my downfall. Jesus went on to say, “…but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” I must learn to fight against and overcome the things that come against me, and in that way produce the balance of holiness. Then it becomes a delight to meet opposition.

Holiness is the balance between my nature and the law of God as expressed in Jesus Christ.

Wisdom of Oswald Chambers 

THE TRUE VINE

The Lord Is Love ❤️ 

Reading the Holy Scriptures more often will not only help, but allows the Holy Spirit to show the truth to our souls. 

The most profound truth that each of us shall discover is that we can live, dwell and abide in Christ and He can live, dwell and abide in us. 

Mediate on this truth, soak in it and read these verses in John 15 several times, maybe 5x, until you agree that Christ came and He resides in you. 

We are connected to Christ by the True Vine, this is our intimate relationship with The Father. Also explained in Isaiah.

The implications of this truth is life changing and will empower your walk. Our union with Jesus is not the reward for our holiness, but the basis for our spiritual awakening. 

We do not achieve our spiritual walk in His oneness with Christ, it’s already been done. Hallelujah!

This beautiful rich truth is illustrated by the Vine and the Branches, telling us that abiding in Christ is the only requirement for our spiritual life of abundance and fruitfulness.

Will you join me as we journey together to simply rest in His scriptures to experience abiding in Jesus Christ?

The Word of God commands the light to shine out of the darkness and into our hearts allowing us to know the full meaning of abiding in Christ.  

We shall begin at the opening page of God’s revelation to “Abide” in the Book of John, Chapter 15.

The True Vine and The Branches 

15 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He [a]takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.

5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you[b] will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. 8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.9 “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.

We shall be encouraged that darkness is only threatened by Light and to the extent that we have Light, the Darkness loses its power over us. Let’s say this again, the darkness is only threatened by Light and to the extent that we have the Light of the Lord as abide in Jesus and therefore the Darkness loses its power over us. 

We carry God’s light when we abide in the perfect love of Christ, Darkness has no power whatsoever over us. Do you believe this?

Recently, I read Chip Brogden’s book “The Prophetic Mandate: where he states the following:

“The Darkness is not threatened by religion, spirituality, doctrine, loud music, preaching, crowds of Christians, spiritual warfare, prophetic conventions, or revivals. The light is nothing more or less than the revelation of Christ in His glory.”  

Are we battling unnecessary warfare? 

Could we be experiencing devils chasing us based on misunderstanding of the truth? What does this list above mean to you? 

When we stop abiding in Christ, like when we worry, have fear, or anger, basically all the emotions of fallen man we end up battling our enemy.

This is how we disqualify for abiding in Christ? 

We step away from Him and walk in our fallen nature.

We are sons and daughters of the Most High King and his gospel plainly says if we truly follow Christ nothing can disqualify us. We are to become like Peter and step out of the boat into the water never taking our eyes off Christ. 

 

WHERE IS MOAB?

While praying this morning, I heard, “MOAB, do not enter“. 

Being unfamiliar with the city of Moab, I looked-up the word Moab in the dictionary and it means, BOMB. In the biblical sense, it is the land just short of the Promised Land. 

Let’s take a look at the Book of Isaiah 15. God wanted to destroy Moab for its sins against him and the people living in this land are oppressed.

Are we oppressed? Let’s find out!

I could not find any worship of Yahweh in the land of Moab. The significance of the land of Moab is similar to Sodom & Gomorrah. The sinful city where Lot and his wife resided and she is turned into a pillar of salt for looking back. The wickedness of this city became legendary and most of us know it was destroyed by fire. 

So, when the lord spoke to me regarding Moab, I wasn’t aware how corrupt the land was until I started digging and my finding are with sharing.

Moab was where Ruth was born and we all know the story of her mother-in-law Naomi in the Book of Ruth. Naomi never found favor in the Lord, having lost her husband and two sons in Moab. Moab’s culture made i6 difficult to follow our Heavenly Father, and it made God’s people feel separated, not only spiritually compromised but easily deceived. The people in the land of Moab were worshipping idols and serving strange gods making them rebellious and sinful in the eyes of God, Yahweh. 

In Psalms 60:8 the Lord says, “Moab is my washout.”Meaning a filthy place used by slaves to wash the feet of their victor. Our world today appeals to our flesh, but in the end we feel hopeless and separated from Yahweh. Therefore, are we living in spiritual Moab? 

If so, who is the victor?

Let’s take a look at the Judgments to the land of Moab in the Book of Isaiah 15.

1. They had shortages to food, famine caused by drought.
2. They had shortage of FAITH, in the days when the judges ruled because they didn’t have kings. This is revealed in Judges 21:25, “Those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.” Men were not concerned with living according to Yahweh, they did what was right in their own eyes which was accepted in society. Now, isn’t this familiar, would you agree, this is how society is living today? Many are not concerned with what Yahweh has for them, they take care of their concerns in their own way. This does not please our heavenly Father. The Father wants us to consult him in everything, so he can bless us and give us favor in all things. However, doing this comes with Faith, and faith cannot be seen. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1

3. They had a shortage of FAVOR in the eyes of God. Our favor comes by abiding in God and seeking His will. When we seek other little gods, living to satisfy our flesh, we are not living to glorify God. He becomes displeased. “

God will remove his hand of favor and his people with suffer in his absence.” Romans 11:2-5. 

Moab turned from God, therefore there was going to consequences and they were not going to be protected by Him. 

4. Moab had a great famine of HEARING from Yahweh. They couldn’t hear God speaking because they were too busy satisfying themselves with things that fed their flesh. 

Are we doing this again today? 

Can you hear his small voice or are you too busy? He is beckoning us to come, sit beside his son, Yahshua on the Mercy Seat in his Tabernacle and commune with him.

“Father, the hour is come; glorify the Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should be give eternal life. To as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”John 17:1-2

After reading about the land of Moab, I began journaling and I want to share what I heard the Spirit of God speak to my heart: 

Angela, my people do not understand that I created everything including the demonic to battle with them. This battle on earth allows a sifting and molding of my children that can only be done through trials and suffering. 

The journey to my promise land is a narrow and difficult path that only a few will find on this side of heaven. Many have not kept my commandments, my sabbath and have defiled their temple. Those of you who understand that you are not under My Law, but freely given-up things that appeal to your flesh have broken down barriers and been given access to My Table table to commune with me. 

Those of you searching for My Tabernacle, My Son Yahshua, the true vine that bearer of fruit, seek him! He will cleanse and purge you and taketh away the branches within you that need trimming. If you abide in him, you will find me, your Heavenly Father Yahweh (Hebrew for God) and I will abide in you.

If you do the things I command of you, we will be great friends and you my servant shall be set free. I will send the My HOLY SPIRIT to abide in you and will diligence you shall be given FIRE. My Spirit comforts and provides truth in all things. My Spirit will burn so bright within those given Me the opportunity . My Light will guide you into wisdom and understanding beyond man’s comprehension. He shall share and warn you of the things to come so that you go forth and bring fruit in My Name and much shall be given.

I  Come in peace, 

Love Yahweh, the great IAM and Creator of ALL things.

ACTIVATION - DEVOTION:

In summary, God wants us to enter his Tabernacle. This is a quiet place where we pray and talk or commune with Him. 

In the old testament, only the Priest could enter and access his Holy of Holies in the inner most room of the Tabernacle. Our enmey in this world says you must be special, be called or even be a man to be a Priest. This Priesthood is in the Kingdom of Heaven though our  Messiah, Jesus Christ.  In the eyes of Yahweh and His Son, Yahshua who went to the cross at Calvary, we are forgiven. All sin is washed when we must enter with a repentant heart.

As you seek God, start in the beginning of your life, or where is your heartache? If you experience anxiety like I did, this new devotion to God will deliver you from all hinderances. Step by step like an onion our defenses can be withdrawn to reveal our true tabernacle or heart!  

Our enemy knows the great healer, will come to provide freedom, but stay with it for at least 2 weeks and you will begin to notice the little things that use to drive you crazy about yourself begin to occur less and less.  Jesus has walked me through a complete deliverance of many things keeping me from freedom.

Go all the way back to the beginning of your life and start there and ask Yahshua for healing. Ask him to Wash you, WASH you, Wash you again of with His Everlasting water that flows from His Heart to yours. He will melt away all your wounds and any lies you have believed for your life. Soak in His Truths this day.

The enemy uses abandonment, humiliation, perfection, shame, condemnation, lack of fellowship to no one understands, God is only good sometimes, what you do doesn’t matter and so on. Recognizing the lies to combat them and God’s truth will put these lies to death for good! In the face of God we can surrender every false truth we carrying to the feet of Jesus! 

Once you understand who you are in Christ the Messiah the enemy cannot keep you from the Father or His Blessings and inheriting what is truly yours.

Once all your earthly barriers are removed, you will find you have stepped into The Tabernacle and worshipping God in His Spirit begins like a musical harp begins to play and His Holy choir will sing, Hallelujah! I truly believe they can’t wait for you to join! Come now, come…..

Praying this blesses you beyond measure in Christ ~

Scriptures given for his word

Matthew 5

John 20:19-23

SPIRITUAL WARFARE

Of course, if we are in Christ, our names are written in the Lamb’s book of life and we are heavenbound. Nothing can change this truth, but our adversary would love to make us miserable and ineffective here on earth, and to even cheat us out of our heavenly rewards. 

Satan is real. Just under the surface of our everyday interactions, hiding in the shadows, clouded in mystery and confusion, the devil works to undermine what God is doing in us and through us. 

This truth that satan is real and at work, must not be forgotten, nor ignored. 

BUT GOD is BIGGER! He has given us everything we need to overcome the enemy and his schemes so we can become Conquers in Christ.

Angels, demons, spiritual warfare — they all exist, but we don't have to live in fear of the supernatural. 

God has given us a powerful weapon against temptation and accusation. He has given us His Word and Paul remind us who God is, who we are, and what is true the Book of Ephesians.

When we walk in the truth and not in our flesh, we are battle ready, alert and VICTORIOUS! We can avoid falling prey to Satan’s destructive plans for us. According to Ephesians 6, we aren’t called to fight the devil; instead, we resist him by standing firm in the power of the Lord. Through God’s ability, we can overcome temptation, even when facing difficult circumstances.

The Holy Spirit brings God's promises to mind when we need them in our battles.

Our victory over Satan's schemes is by filling our minds with the truth of the Bible. Verse after verse we are given the authority in our battles. Speaking these verses into outloud and into our atmosphere allows us to take dominion.

However, there are two competing agendas that we face every single day on earth.

DEATH vs. LIFE

First, God has a plan for every nation on this earth. In addition, He has a plan for every man, woman and child on this planet, too. His plan can be contained in one word: LIFE. 

By comparison, Satan has an agenda as well. His agenda can be summed up in an opposing word: DEATH. His intricate plan for every nation, every person is to steal, kill and destroy. 

It is incredibly easy to think the world consists of what we see in our worlds every day, and completely miss the larger picture. This invisible battle happening all around us: life verse death are fiercely competing for our devotion in GOD!

RECOGNIZING COMPETING AGENDAS

Let’s talk about the challenge to recognize the subtle ways the Enemy achieves his agenda in our lives: he deceives, he lies, he corrupts, he brings shame, and then he dangles temptations. 

These temptations are in things that will kill relationships, break up businesses, and destroy families and churches and small groups.

The enemy's work is diabolical and unholy.

And in his creativity, he’s distracted us with the obvious evils in the world. These heinous acts like sex trafficking, gender identity, racism and division in all areas are indisputably the work of Satan. 

But what about our chronic struggle with our flesh that is displayed by deceit and greed and gluttony? 

HOW THE ENEMY’S AGENDA HAS SHOWN UP IN MY LIFE

When I think about the sneaky ways the Devil has squirmed his way into my life, it’s through subtle factors like —

Arrogance and prejudice

My stubborn, know-it-all attitude 

He uses these small lapses to plant seeds of doubt and anger, which are his favorite playgrounds. 

Thankfully, we don’t have to play.

God has given us everything we need to overcome the Enemy’s schemes and become conquerors. He’s provided examples of spiritual warfare within the Scriptures as a reference for us, and He’s given us His wisdom and armor to combat temptation.

Let’s look at some verses to remember as you face the battles ahead. 

We are in an “invisible war” with temporal and eternal consequences.

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.” Ephesians 6:10-11

2 Thessalonians 3:3

"But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one."

2 Corinthians 10:4-5

"The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."

1 Peter 5:8-9

"Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings."

James 4:7

"Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."

Romans 8:37-39

"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

John 10:10

"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."

Colossians 1:13-14

"For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins."

John 16:33

"I [Jesus] have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

1 Corinthians 10:13

"No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it."

SIT IN MY RIVER

To My Victors & Working Servants who are faithful and true,

The hour is late, many many of My True Servants are unaware of the stains of darkness contained within their heart. These stains come in the form of vain talkers & deceivers [devils] defiling you’re garments restricting your walk in My Kingdom - - Bondage to whom I will judge.

This river flows deeply revealing many everlasting treasures & truths unknown to carnal man since the fall of the garden. 

Without My River, man cannot access this knowledge.

Come Beloved, sit in My River as it refines and purifies those learning to walk in holy righteousness. 

Be thankful that I share My River of everlasting love for you. My River contains Fire that purges thy silver & gold (all vanity) to bring thy impurities bubbling to the surface, allowing My Truth to take hold of each thought and emotion making all things new [within your heart].

I AM coming soon.

I come to give My Pure River, clear as a crystal, water of life proceeding out of My Throne Room. These waters flow directly into the Midst of Mine, and on either side of the river there is My Tree of Life yielding fruits every month, with leaves for healing for all nations [hearts of the people]. 

My Beloved, I come to bless My Victor's giving rights to My tree of Life and enter through the gates of the city.

And here in My Kingdom near My River, no more curses just the Throne of The Father and My servants serving with everlasting hope & glory.

ROAD TO DAMASCUS

SANCTIFICATION OR CONSECRATION - - 

How many of us know the difference? The Father has been sharing with me the difference. Those sanctified in their flesh are transformed. Some stop here in their journey with the Father, but others continue on following as close as possible from one turn to the next in their spiritual journey through the power of His Spirit to receive what The Father calls “consecration”.

Think about that?

How many of us are still battling the old inner man inside our soul? This inner man gets easily angered, impatient and unsympathetic. Do you know this inner man working to always be fulfilled?

Praise God, we are awake and aware of the battle we are in with our fleshly desires. Let’s be encouraged as our inner man is being transformed to our true nature of becoming more like Christ and eventually consecrated.

The process takes time and there are many layers in which we much travel. as we keep giving our ALL to Our Highest King…our desires start becoming the desires of God. Our everyday life routines are transformed as well. The things we use to hold high, have no power over us. We begin to experience Jesus kind of LOVE for others.

Can we honestly LOVE others, even when they reject us, hurt us or even use us?

Yes, we can with the power of the Holy Spirit guiding us. Once we take our eyes off ourselves, it’s amazing how our hearts can be transformed! We can sympathize and pray for others! This is sanctification. This is exactly the road we need to be on in our spiritual journey!

Recently, I was reading Bob Jones testimony and wow, the power of prayer is really amazing! If you get time, learn and read about Bob Jones. He has passed on to the heavenlies, but he has left some real jewels for us to learn. We are not properly schooled on how powerful our prayers are and how our prayers destroys the plans of the enemy!

Saints, we need to be praying more!

As we travel this spiritual narrow road and our hearts are being transformed to things of God, we encounter a new dimension or realm. If you are new to my blog, I have a devotional page sharing who Jesus is as knowing Jesus is a very important piece of our consecration.

We are entering into a new glorious dimension with The Father that some call being “baptized” in the Holy Spirit FIRE and others call receiving the fullness of the Holy Spirit which completely changes our lives. In my opinion, this is where Saints have the opportunity to become Seers. Yes, we may accesses The Father’s Realm.

It takes the power of the Holy Spirit to receive God’s purpose in our lives by setting us apart. This realm allows The Father to bring us out of Egypt, just like He did the Israelites. And you know what….? He brought them out in armies.

God is rising up an Army!

The Father said, “Angela, I AM bringing out an army of victorious overcomer’s! He means “out” as of this dimension into His Realm. Then He said, “The time will be when things are the darkest on earth.” It's been getting darker on earth for the last 2000 years!

I felt in my spirit that this meant, a whole Army of Saints will be consecrated at the very same time and enter His Realm.

Isn’t this exciting!

I love these little truths revealed when I am praying and worshiping The Father. But honestly to be fully sanctified and consecrated in our flesh, Hallelujah~ And then To think an army of us will enter the Kingdom of GOD realm still while on earth! 

Praise GOD!

When we stop struggling with the things of our flesh, you know the common every day things in life… the Father can move us into becoming consecrated or holy, this is the road to Damascus where Saul was transformed to Paul.

Our steps towards Glory!

Recently, while doing dishes, the Father asked, “Angela do you know the difference between sanctification and concretion?” I thought I did, but when I began searching… I became puzzled as to the difference.  This is the deep calling the deep. :-)

First, I looked up consecration in the dictionary, I found the meaning as follows: Blessed made holy, made sacred; dedicated to God, devoted, reserved, anointed & is the solemn dedication to a special purpose or service. The word consecration literally means “association with the sacred”.

Being a servant of God, we must stand alone and sometimes we don’t even realize we are alone. In this season of my life, I am very much alone on my journey with the Father.

Where are you in your journey?

In the early stages of my spiritual journey I had many people who I followed, but their light flickered out and some others who use to stand with me have turned away. I have been very burdened by this, asking the Lord why?

But you see my dear Saints….this is consecration.

This is where the Lord stands with me and strengthens me. Just like it says in in 2 Timothy 4:16-17. I must build my faith not on fading lights of others, but on the light that never fails. When important individuals in our life go away, we are sad, until we see that they are meant to go away, so that only one thing is left for us to do – look to the Face of God for ourselves.

We can’t be looking for someone else to build us up or qualify us. We must allow nothing to keep us from looking straight into the face of God regarding ourselves and our own personal doctrines. This takes courage and time!

Each time, I post to my blog I must first go to the Face of the Father. Even though, I am just a small voice, I do not want to lead anyone astray! Being His consecrated servant means we must look perpetually into the Face of God.

I must Work to Disregard my feelings as they are just feelings and ignore my deceitful heart. 

His truths are revealed when we abide in His glorious face. This takes strict skill and determination. 

No one can do this for us, and we can’t do it without the Holy Spirit…. this leg of the race can only be done between oneself and The Father.

The secret is to stay in tune with God at all times. On this wonderful journey with The Father has so many surprises and treasures. I found that once my heart was transformed during sanctification, I was awarded…. transfiguration and the devils chasing me... fled!

We all, with unveiled face, beholding in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into His image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:18

There are three instances in the Bible speaking of transfiguration. This is where Jesus transformed in glory upon the Mountain, right here on earth in Mark 9:2. His transfiguration event made him shine in radiant glory of God right there in front of Peter, James and John as He led them up the Mountain. They entered the Realm of GOD while on earth, and they were able to see Elijah & Moses who are in the heavenliness with God.

We don’t have to be raptured and leave a pile of clothes lying on the floor behind, we can do this right in the safety of our own home by dwelling in our secret Place of the LORD!

Saints, we shine and are dazzling white once consecrated! This revelation is so exciting !!!

Our lives becoming a mirror for others. When the Spirit of God fills us, we are transformed. You can alway see when someone has been beholding the glory of the Lord, because their inner spirit man mirrors the character of Jesus. These Saints are seeking the Father diligently in their secret place & shall enter His glorious realm and He shall radiant through us for others to follow. This is transfiguration!

Most important part is to concentrate on keeping our lives open to God. Let everything else including work, clothes, hair and food be set aside. Our busyness of things can interfere with our connection with the Father. We must continue to abide in him, letting some things come and go as they will, but never let anything interfere with your relationship with the Father. I say this for myself as well. I have a new puppy and WOW~ I have forgotten how busy puppies are and demanding. I refuse to let my hurried life disturb my relationship with the Father. I will continue to BEHOLDING as in a mirror the Glory of the Lord!

Today, I thank You Father for showing me that by unveiling your face I can grow to maturity and become consecrated to enter your radiant light realm for others to follow and eventually find your son Jesus.

Praying you are blessed today and feel the pressure of the Lord in your secret place~

A few days later The Father spoke again to my Spirit. Saints, we have steps to becoming consecrated! I heard the Spirit say, “Song of Solomon”, this is the letter to the bride that describes how to enter the Holy of Holies.

This is the spiritual marriage between the remnant saints & God. While we wait for the marriage, the bride must be kept “morally pure”.

Word from The Lord God while in prayer

When the woman goes into labor and gives birth in Micah 5:3, the remnant bride will take their place with nothing holding them back or retraining them.

They will be loins among animals of the forest.

Strong young lions among flocks of sheep & goats pouncing& tearing as they go, says the Father.

These of Mine will stand up to their foes and all their enemies will be wiped out!

What a whirlwind of revelation coming to My Bride in their coming transfiguration.

Come to Me in My Throne Room.

You will know it by My glorious Light.

Seek Me for the treasures are about to be opened & given out to those secretly meeting with Me & await My Return.

When casting out demons use My Name “Jesus” as they are against us and will free many of Mine. This is by their strong faith. Mark 9:14-39

Darkness is coming that will cover you, but those filled with the power of My Spirit of the Lord God of the Most High shall be filled with justice & strength & will boldly declare My Name to pierce the darkness, says the Lord.

I AM gathering those who are lame, & those who have been exiled & those filled with grief. These are my remnant Saints & I shall Build a strong Church (Nation).

They are My Royalty & They shall walk in My Power & My Might as they restore My precious jewels of Jerusalem.

I AM mobilizing My Troops!

Be Ready & Alert, Enter My Song of Soloman!~

I Love all my children. I AM anointing My Remnant Bride who are consecrated.

Seek, Knock a Enter says the Most High God, Yahweh
