I know the LORD and trust Him with all of my heart, all of my mind, all of my soul, AND with all of my strength! This is not hyperbole but is buried deep within my soul. I can honestly say that every promise God has ever made me during my lifetime has been fulfilled. Through the years, I have maintained faith in God’s promises and held to my faith in uncertainty only because God, the LORD, had spoken.
The Faith Journey I embarked upon has been the best thing in my life. First, He allowed me to KNOW Him and then HEAR His voice! Next, He taught me how to TRUST Him and ultimately how to OBEY Him! There has been so much learned along the way. PEACE is underrated until you have experienced the PEACE of the great “I AM THAT I AM.” Through this incredible journey, I fell madly, radically in love with God! Loving Jesus brings clarity to ALL matters.
Over thirty years ago, God commissioned me to write a book. Of course, I said yes and started to write even though I knew nothing about getting a book published. God assured me that He knew everything that I needed to know. Even though the years have passed, I continued to trust God. I even realized that my students often laughed at my insistence that “God said it and I believe it.” I eventually wrote that book, which will be published on Wednesday, May 7th, 2025! Please read the messages that are included. Trust the revelations provided, no matter how they appear to the natural mind. We are spiritual beings and we must follow in spirit and truth! The book is called, “A Call from God for Change.”
He said it, I believed it, and God delivered! Thank you, LORD God, my Savior and my very best Friend! Now, to all Christians, Trust God at all times. Feed your faith daily by seeking His face and avoiding the enemy’s whispers in your ears. Guard your spirit always before the Lord.

Dear Lord, my God. How awesome is your Word! You are faithful beyond belief. I praise your name in the midst of my pain. I present my heart to you, dear Heavenly Father, asking all over again that you stand by me forever. The more I learn, the more I know that I cannot make it in this world without you. My days, my weeks, and even my months, LORD, are all rolling together…I realize how insignificant I am to your master plan for my life. I find myself looking at life events pass by knowing that I have no control. The only thing that I can do is trust you, Lord. How helpless are my hands! How weak are my limbs. My mind and thoughts are racing back and forth. When I try to hold on, I find that I am falling away! When I try to let go, I see you close by! What is this, Lord? How do I manage? Today I know, and tomorrow I wonder. How can all of this be? That which my eyes see, my mind cannot comprehend. O Lord, my God, how glorious are your teachings. Fear surrounds me and yet I will not stop. I remember all that you have said and done. I am considering you, LORD. This revelation alone holds me closely in your midst.
As I look through the lens of life that you have given me, I hurt so badly. Sometimes, Father, I hurt so deeply inside that I find myself helpless. Why, God, does it have to be? If we all know and love you the way we claim to know you, and love you, then why is the world…the Christian world in such a crisis? Why do we follow our own hearts and resist your precious Holy Spirit? As I read your Word, I see a Loving God that is always pleading for the created souls to return to you and accept your love. The world is so wrapped up in the natural things that are seen and have no clear eyes to see who you truly are! Please help us, Lord! Help me, Lord God. Let the Holy Ghost power of your Spirit possess my soul. Let Wisdom control my every thought. Mold me, Lord, into whatever you desire. Today, Lord, I rededicate my all to serving you. No matter how difficult the road, and how dark the way…I will follow! I will follow you to the end, as I absolutely surrender my heart to you! Help me, Lord, to hold on to your unchanging hand. I am strengthened by your presence and your love. No matter what I see, I know you will never leave me and for that I say thank you, LORD God Almighty. Amen, Amen, and AMEN.
Dear Heavenly Father, My LORD, and My God. Thank you for yet another opportunity to praise your name. I thank you, LORD, for holding me and guiding me down this dark road of confusion. I am grateful for that which I do know as it is your everlasting truth that keeps me grounded. Thank you, LORD!
The world is filled with tolerance. This has become a way of getting along with each other. O God, help us to see that this really is a way for the devil to push us into phases of compromise to abandon your will! O Father God, how excellent is your Wisdom, Knowledge, and Understanding. I am grateful to know, LORD, that the playing field for all created Souls is equal. How sad it would be, Lord, for you to cherish one race over another or to promote one gender as superior to another! How sad, LORD, would we all be if you gave more wisdom to the rich and famous than you offer to the ordinary man or woman or the poor. Your love reaches all walks of life and spreads itself wide and long as it wraps around the universe. For this I say thank you, Father God! Your love is not for sale. But…we must belong to you, having come with a willing mind. Your truths are everlasting and the “tolerance” offered by your enemy is only for a season. Thank you, LORD, for being my God!
Your Wisdom is tied to the Holy Ghost and the Holy Ghost is Wisdom. They are a part of you AND all of you. Your Wisdom is available to all who seek to know you. Teach me, LORD. I want to know ALL things that are you. I want not only to know, but I want to “Understand” everything about you. For those who laugh and mock my love and devotion for you and my willingness to obey without a natural reason, I say, “so let it be, dear LORD.” I have discovered that there is nothing that I can imagine placing ahead of you. You have tried me, LORD, and you have tested my faith and found me to be deserving of your love. I, too, have considered the world and all it has to offer and I have chosen you. All safety is found in you, my God. All love flourishes because of you!
Your requests to me and all who claim to love you are few. All you desire, Sweet Jesus, is our love. How wonderful you are that you do not make us love you or beg us to love you. Yet, you continue to plead with us to open our eyes, see who you are, and understand what you are offering. O Lord, you have given us amazing free will to accept or reject your love. Today, LORD God, I proclaim loudly for all to hear that I again choose you! I understand your lack of tolerance for our sinfulness. If we are to be yours, we must truly follow you and give up our wicked ways. We must not follow others, but follow you only, Lord God. Help me, LORD, to follow you only day by day.
Dear Father, I pray now for Dissect My Soul Ministries. Thank you, Lord, for trusting me with your missions. I say, “Yes, LORD,” even with the recognition that I have no idea of how to carry out your plans. I am so grateful that you guide me continuously. I don’t need to know why or how. I just need you to guide me and lead the way. May your everlasting mercy shine upon all the students you have sent my way. May your blessings of protection fall around all participants in the “Love Jesus” Movement. Tonight, I praise your HOLY NAME. Amen.

We have been taught by the world that “tolerance” is a good thing. We have come to understand that we must be willing to give and take or to compromise for the overall good of those with whom we live, work, or play. It is through compromise that Satan moves in our hearts to distort our views of right and wrong and ultimately offers us a “new” form of righteousness that is not of God. God has taught me that His ways are not negotiable. He is not democratic. And more to the point, He is NOT tolerant of sin! This is not to say that we will not make mistakes. We will, and we do. However, we must come before God with a truly repentant heart and seek forgiveness from the Lord. He will not listen to our spoken words, but will look into our hearts for our true intent instead. There He will find the truth! With this truth, if we are indeed truly repentant, He washes away the stains of our sins and continues to grant us access to His presence.
As you read and “pray the scriptures” below as you have been taught by me…look for the words of truth spoken by God to King Solomon. He loved him unconditionally, BUT He was clear with His expectations of him and all the people of Israel. God refused to tolerate sin or disobedience. He does not want or need our false prayers and sacrifices without us giving Him total access to our hearts. He does not need us to partially dedicate our lives to Him…He wants ALL of our hearts! He does not need our songs of praise…He wants ALL of our hearts!
Scripture for Consecration:
After King Solomon had completed the building of the Temple for God, look at what the people and God did. (vs 1-11).
God’s Reaction to Solomon’s prayer after the dedication of the temple. God will NOT be mocked and is an ALL consuming Fire as verified by the scriptures below:
1 Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the Lord filled the house. 2 And the priests could not enter into the house of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord had filled the Lord’s house. 3 And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the Lord upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the Lord, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever. 4 Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the Lord. 5 And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king and all the people dedicated the house of God. 6 And the priests waited on their offices: the Levites also with instruments of musick of the Lord, which David the king had made to praise the Lord, because his mercy endureth for ever, when David praised by their ministry; and the priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood. 7 Moreover Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of the Lord: for there he offered burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the brasen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offerings, and the meat offerings, and the fat. 8 Also at the same time Solomon kept the feast seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt. 9 And in the eighth day they made a solemn assembly: for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days. 10 And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away into their tents, glad and merry in heart for the goodness that the Lord had shewed unto David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people. 11 Thus Solomon finished the house of the Lord, and the king’s house: and all that came into Solomon’s heart to make in the house of the Lord, and in his own house, he prosperously effected.
God knew the heart of the people and He then made sure King Solomon understood. He explained that He had indeed heard the great prayer offered by King Solomon and saw the many sacrifices offered for the establishment of the new temple that was built for the Lord. BUT, He still made it plain that He was NOT tolerant of sin! The promises of God are true, but there are conditions to be met. O LORD, have mercy on our souls. Be wise in your reading and understanding of these scriptures.
God appears to Solomon and gives him some conditional promises
12 And the Lord appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice. 13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; 14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place. 16 For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually. 17 And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and shalt observe my statutes and my judgments; 18 Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel 19 But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them; 20 Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations. 21 And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that passeth by it; so that he shall say, Why hath the Lord done thus unto this land, and unto this house? 22 And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them. (2 Chron 7:1-22)

Dear Heavenly Father, My God, My LORD, My Savior, and My Friend, thank you for this day. Thank you for the opportunity once again to be able to Worship you in Truth and in Spirit. LORD, I know that you are the best thing that has ever happened to me. You are the Friend that I have always desired. I grew up pretty much alone and isolated from the main members of my family. You allowed me to be raised by my grandparents and for that, Almighty God, I am thankful. You knew the course my life would take and even then you were preparing me to become a Messenger of the LORD. You are my FRIEND! O Lord, how excellent is your wisdom. How Holy is your name.
The path through which you have directed me sometimes feels like walking through the “shadow of death,” but even then, protection is provided. How do I explain to the world what I see and hear, Dear Lord God? Why is it difficult for your created souls to believe that all things are spiritual in this world? Does not the Holy Scriptures declare it to be so? Why is there so much doubt? Because of what I see and hear around me, I am confident that being with you, loving you, and remaining in your Presence is the only way to survive. Your revelations of the existence of the things active in our daily lives that stem from the spiritual realm, are forever implanted within my soul. Never let me forget or fall away, Lord Jesus. You have my permission, LORD, to “perfect” your will within my heart every second of the day. It is through you, Almighty God, that I survive day after day. Thank you, Lord!
I pray for those that continue to show me kindness, Lord. I pray for those that believe and follow the teachings that you have provided to me and them. Protect them, Merciful Father, so that they can grow stronger day by day in your perfect grace. I pray, Father God, that all enemies of the LORD will be bound this day and always, so that we can continue to grow as a ministry and as a people that have purposed to love you and only you; A people that is willing to be called by your name and accept you as “Our God.”
Lord, may all visitors to our website become infected with your love. Help them to see that you truly are God and that through you all things are possible that are within your perfect will for their lives. Amen, Amen, and AMEN.

The LORD is GOD. He protects us from all dangers. He often causes us to walk within the darkness of this world to carry out His missions. We must never fear BUT always obey. Pray your way through the scriptures below and see the love that God provides along the way. If you can just believe this scripture alone, amazing visions of the Almighty God can appear. Amen.
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. (Psalms 23:1-6)

Pray the scriptures as if you are one of the characters in the story. God will look into your heart for truth and honesty in the words you pray. He opens His arms to acknowledge and receive worship from all who seek Him. Study the whole chapter of the scriptures below. Place yourself in the story as the main character. Listen to what God has to say to you. Amen.
And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The Lord is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you. (2 Chron 15:2)
10 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord. 11 Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually. (1 Chron 16:10-11)
And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the Lord. (2 Chron 12:14)

Dear LORD, my God, my Father, my Friend and Savior Jesus Christ, I humble my heart, my mind, and my soul before your throne of Grace and Mercy this day. I acknowledge you as LORD and Savior of all things in my life. I am grateful that you are my God and that you protect me in ways that I could never imagine. I repent Father, of all sins that I might have committed before you, against you, and against your people, my LORD! Please teach me, Father, to walk holy and perfectly before you. I come this day, Lord Jesus, just to say thank you! I ask for nothing this day, Lord, but to be in your perfect will. I have no idea what today holds for me, but I do know that as long as I continue to love you completely, Sweet Jesus, that I can handle all things that come my way. I submit my heart to you today as the Living Son of God Almighty. Teach me thy ways, Lord. Guide me into your truths.
As I go forward this day, Heavenly Father, I pray for all the disciples and students that you have given to Dissect My Soul Ministries. Protect them this day from the enemy of God. Allow them the freedom to choose YOU, O Lord, my God. Be merciful to them, Father, as they go out into the world today. Grant them Peace everlasting and continue to teach them how to enter into your Presence, Dear God. Help them to understand that you will be there as long as they do not shut you out. Help them, Lord, to bring EVERY thought before you as they bask in the beauty and power of your Almighty Presence. I linger, Lord,…now do I linger Lord, as I wait for your daily instruction and guidance for my soul. It is here, LORD, that I understand who you are. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for this opportunity to be so in Love with you! You are ALL that I need. Amen, Amen and AMEN.
Dear Heavenly Father, O how I love you, Lord God! The deeper my love for you becomes, the more I realize that I do not know you…not ALL of you! You are more than a mind can ever imagine. Continue to stretch my understanding and my love for you on every level, my LORD. With every revelation of who you are, the more I realize the vastness of your being. Only a God that is God can be so multifaceted. There is nothing common about you. With every round of glory exposed, there is yet 100 more rounds to go! How awesome you are, Dear LORD. Thank you for your teachings and presence in my life. When I am with you at the start of each day, I want nothing but to stay in your presence forever and worship you as God. How great is the sweet savor of your breath and the all-blinding glow of your righteousness. When you push me away to begin my day, it is always with the assurance that you will remain present every second and guide me as I go. I leave “drunk” from your holy presence and find that it takes time to gather myself to visually see and understand where I am! Worshipping you, LORD, reaches deep into my Soul! O Lord, Dissect My Soul. I offer this prayer, Lord, for all those that read it and especially for those that accept the words in their hearts as their own prayer to you. Amen.
I pray, Heavenly Father, that the students received the wisdom that you provided yesterday as revealed from the book of Deuteronomy. I have read this book so many times, but never received it as I did yesterday. Thank you, Lord, for always knowing what we need at specific times in our lives. I surrender my heart and soul to you this day and accept you all over again as the greatest love of my life. Have mercy on me, Father God.
Continue to bless the disciples of Dissect My Soul Ministries and all its followers and students. Particularly bless the people that have joined our “Love Jesus” Movement. Help us, LORD, and guide us in uniting the whole world in loving you completely. Teach us to worship you in truth and in spirit as you have commanded. It is your requirement that we love you in this way, Father, since you are Spirit! The words of the Holy Scriptures prove that this demand is critical to developing an intimate relationship with you since you communicate with us ONLY by Spirit to spirit. When our spirit communicates with your Spirit, we then become one with you, Lord. Thank you, Father, that there is no other way. Thank you that the way to you has been made available for all people. The race, color, or gender does not matter. Every created soul can find you if it chooses to, and every soul can fall in love with you, if such a one is willing to succumb to your perfect will! Thank you for the assurance that you are willing to be the God of all that are willing to “be your people.” Keep me as your people, LORD, and please remain as My GOD! Amen, Amen and AMEN.

Dear Heavenly Father, my LORD, and my God, I give my heart to you once again. I have no other desire than to love you with ALL of my being. Teach me, LORD, how to succumb to your every demand. The rest and peace that I receive from you surpasses all reasonable understanding. I know that I have no logical, natural reason to be so peaceful with the many wars that are raging daily in my life. I see the enemy at every turn and every task in which I am engaged. I am presented with everyday challenges that seem to be impossible, yet, my LORD, you make them all seem so meaningless and easy to do. It is because of you, Father, that I am able to look beyond what I see with my natural eyes and witness the beauty of your Lordship and protection. As I stand in your midst, LORD, I clearly see that all things are possible. Who can defy you, LORD? Who is able to KNOW you and deny you total access to their heart? O Sweet Jesus, the living Son of God, I am so grateful that you show no selfishness in sharing yourself or your Father God Almighty with the world. Although I see you both as ONE, I clearly see and understand your separate roles, and for that I am truly grateful and blessed!
I WILL FOLLOW YOU, LORD GOD ALMIGHTY! I do not care where we go, or how long it takes to get there. I will follow you, LORD. No matter how many waves cover my head, or knock me to my knees, I will follow you, LORD. When my enemies laugh and taunt me for believing that you openly speak to me and guide my paths, I will yet continue to follow you, LORD Jesus! It is impossible for me to have seen what I have seen, heard what I have heard, and fail to follow you, LORD. You have allowed me to see and taste your Glory, and I know that I know that YOU are God Almighty. You alone are LORD. You are the great “Existing One.” You are the Master and Creator of all things that are. I KNOW You LORD! How can I turn around? How can I stop following you? You are the Supreme God of all gods. Your name is so holy that it should not be uttered with the unclean lips of mankind! Forgive me, LORD, for the many times I have spoken your true and holy name out of ignorance. Read my heart, dear LORD, as I confess my sins and my love for You alone. Guide me into everlasting truth that I might continue to rest in your Holy Presence. I just want to be forever in your Presence…here I find rest and peace and experience your unspeakable love for me. Thank you, Father, the Great “I AM That I AM.”
Today, LORD, I pray as always for those that do not know you. I pray that their eyes will be opened to see and understand that the only chance any of us have to survive what is around us is to accept you as Lord and Savior. Be merciful to us all, Lord God. O LORD, please reach out to the members of Dissect My Soul Ministries. Keep them safe and guide their study, Father. Many of them have been with me since the very beginning of my work for YOU, and have remained faithful to help me carry out your charge to me. Bless them, LORD God. Some believe, because I believe. Help their unbelief and give them a heart and mind to discern You as Truth Absolute! Help me, LORD, to be the Mentor that they need to remain faithful to our cause. For those that you have given to follow this Ministry, allow them to see that I am following you and the goal, LORD God, is for them to also follow you!
Give me the Wisdom of the Holy Ghost to continue to make the right decisions for the “Love Jesus” Movement. Doors are opening all around us and I see the hunger of the people that love you. Many want more and do not know how to get before you. Help me to lead them to you that they may experience your Presence, LORD. Many have never experienced your Holy Presence even though it is where You desire us all to be. Help us all to know that there is no true existence in this world, or the world to come, that is void of You and Your love. Teach us to love you with all aspects of our hearts and souls. To You, Almighty God, we pledge our hearts. I pledge All of me, O LORD, my God! Amen.
