Greetings to all. Over the past month, I have experienced the love and protection of the LORD like never before. I have been tried and tested beyond measure, and yet am I standing. I found myself in situations of confusion, hurt, and harm with no way out and nowhere to go. Everything that I have ever believed was challenged. I found that I could not pray and I could not even read the Word of God. All I could do was “remember.” I remembered that I had a God that loves me more than words can ever express! I remembered that God promised me that He would always be with me and would never leave me! I could not see Him…I could not hear Him, and O how my soul ached for His arms. But…I could remember. I held on to the power of the mystery of WISDOM. I remembered that God had already given me understanding of the meaning, relevance and power of WISDOM! This is what saved me during this difficult time.
Once again, God has allowed me to suffer as the enemy was granted access to my life. When things go wrong, and it seems that there is no hope, remember, remember and then continue to remember! Amen. Believe all that you remember and know that God is there trusting that you will always remember all that He has taught you. I pray now that you have teachings in your “Soul” that you too can remember. Get Wisdom and hold Her in your heart. Receive Her and you will find all answers to life. When you are restored you will come though stronger than ever before. Tonight, I dry my eyes. Tonight I prevailed in the LORD. Tomorrow is another day and may the LORD continue to have mercy on my soul. Amen.
Scripture Reference:
5 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. 6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. 7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. 8 Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her. 9 She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee. 10 Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many. 11 I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths. 12 When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble. 13 Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life. (Prov 4:5-13)

Dear Heavenly Father, I come before your throne of Grace and Mercy this day. I come, Lord God, just to experience your presence. It is in your presence that I long to stay. I am safe from all danger when I am with you, Lord. Each day, as I smell the sweet savor of your breath, Dear LORD, I am so glad that you have shown me how to walk and talk with You. You have taught me what it means to be a wife, a mother, and a friend. In all my educated wisdom, loving you has taught me that I knew nothing at all before I met you. For all this and more, my God, I am grateful.
I am still “Considering” you, O LORD. There are so many things that we look upon with our natural eyes and mind and we marvel at the wonder of it all not realizing its spiritual significance. The Bible teaches us, Lord, that you made the sun, the moon, and that you also made the stars. These heavenly entities will one day pass away. They were created to bring light in the midst of darkness for a given period of time for the benefit of mankind. Man has developed ways to capture, worship, and even improve earthly knowledge. We act in ignorance because we know not what they are. O LORD, have mercy on us! Forgive our sinfulness and our desire to be so intellectually superior to others that we prove ourselves truly ignorant before you instead.
I understand the cries of King Solomon when he declared, “Vanity of Vanities, all is Vanity.” Seeing the world through your eyes, Father, creates doom in the eyes of the beholder, yet it brings joy everlasting when one realizes that he has been “saved” from the dangers of the battle that is raging all around! O God, sometimes it feels like walking through the valleys and shadows of death with the enemy pulling on all sides. But, O, in the midst of it all, even in the light of the dangers that are seen, you still remain God Almighty. You still provide unspeakable peace. By your Mercy, LORD, I have “Considered” all the workings of the world under the sun, and I am grateful that you protect those that love you. Oh how I love you, Lord God! Help me to never stop loving you, Father God. Amen.
I pray now, Lord God, for the faithful followers you have given me. Help them to continue to seek your presence, Lord. Keep them safe from danger and hold them close as they seek your wisdom. Help me to stand for them, Lord, when they cannot stand. Help us all to remain on one accord while following your directions to us, Father. Make us all one in your sight and continue to Dissect our souls, Dear Lord. Shed your sweet loving Holy Ghost upon us, I pray. Amen.
As I humble myself in your presence today, Father, I have “Considered” as Your Spirit has directed. O God, what a thought! To consider my life without you brings tears to my eyes; to consider ever that I must stand alone in this battle is fearful indeed; to consider that the God that is God of ALL things in heaven, in the earth, and in the sea beneath the earth, “loves” me, provides me with a greater faith, strength, and the assurance that I can endure to the end. To be “Considered” by you, Dear God, is to make you proud and give you joy. I have “Considered” You, as You continuously “Consider” me! To this end, My Everlasting Friend and Savior, I do submit my TOTAL being to You in Love. Amen, Amen, and AMEN.

Many declare that they desire the wisdom of God. True Wisdom brings revelation knowledge directly from the LORD. God has revealed many mysteries of His Holy Word to me. Some were very frightening indeed. As I fearfully pondered one such mystery, God consoled my soul by explaining that it was what I needed to know in order to move forward as His Messenger. He asked me to read the scriptures that are shown below. He pointed out to me that I was not alone in what I had discovered, and that when King Solomon discovered the same mystery. He too, was distraught to the point that he declared, “Vanity of Vanities, all is Vanity.” He, like I, came to know and understand that even in the midst of the darkest and most dangerous journeys, God never leaves us alone. We never become lonely, and He always brings us to a place of safety and peace. In our lack of understanding and fear, we ultimately conclude that our minds and knowledge are insufficient in trying to cope with what awaits all those that do not love God.
In all that you do, Trust God. There is nothing good in this life outside of God. There is no existence or survival without God on your side. Make Him your everyday companion. Seek Him every second of the day! He will teach you how to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth…and as One. Amen.
Scripture Reference: Eccl 1:12-18
12 I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem. 13 And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith. 14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit. 15 That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered. 16 I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge. 17 And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit. 18 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

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.

Dear Heavenly Father, LORD God Almighty. I humble myself to you today acknowledging that you ARE God. Thank you, Father, for the many blessings, teachings, trials, and tribulations that have come my way. Thank you, LORD, for delivering me from the hands of my enemies. I praise your Holy Name, my Lord, for loving me as you do. I am not worthy of all that you do for me. Please continue to search my heart, my Lord, and know that there is nothing or anyone more important in this world to me than you. Without you, Lord Jesus, I cannot stand. I would not survive one day in this miserable place called Earth without you. My eyes are opened to see the devastations and the evil lurking at every corner. Help us, LORD. Do not forget your people, LORD! Remember to help us because we are not capable of helping ourselves.
Each day, as I consider the magnitude and depth of your love for all men, I am left speechless. You maintain an outstretched arm even when we sin against you, God. You keep trying to reach us to teach us how to live for you…how to truly love you. Yet we reject you for instant pleasures and wisdom gained from this world instead. Help me, LORD God, to receive your love more and more each day. Help me, LORD, to know that your love is everlasting and that nothing can stop me from loving you, if this is my desire. Help me to know and understand that through the love relationship that we have developed, there is no fear that you will ever stop loving me. Amen. Nothing can ever separate me from your love! Yet, Sweet Jesus, I understand that you will not tolerate my evil heart. Clearly this is why you have commanded that we love you with all our heart, all our soul, all our mind, and all of our strength. When we love you as you desire, there is no room for evil to take control. So thank you, Father God. I give you permission to continue to “Dissect My Soul,” dear Lord.
I pray now, Lord, for the members of Dissect My Soul. I pray for all those that have joined the “Love Jesus” Movement. Keep them safe, Lord God. Help them to always remember that the only way to overcome the evil in this world is to maintain an intimate love relationship with you. Dear Lord, the world is changing around us, second by second. You have taught me not to be shocked or alarmed at the evil that is increasing in the world today. Help my followers and disciples to be unafraid. Help them, Lord, to be bold and truthful in their daily walk with you. Protect them, Father God, as they go. As they seek your face, minute by minute, bring them into your presence that they might know and understand the degree of your love for them. Please do this for me, Lord Jesus! Grant them peace and shelter within your Presence. Thank you, LORD Jesus, for your love. Amen.

God is LOVE. God knows all things. God is the creator of the universe. All nature and animals were created by God. The heavenlies, the sun, the moon, and even the stars were created by God Almighty! The birds in the air and the beasts that walk this earth had a beginning and were created by God. The fish in the sea were created by My God Almighty. If God created ALL things, and is a pure and Holy God, where did evil come from?
It stands to reason that “something or someone” that God created released evil upon the earth…and it was not God as He was not created and always has been. The bible tells us that Lucifer/Satan/Devil, or any other name you want to use, brought disobedience, also called sin, into the world. God created mankind to love and obey him. Jesus Christ in His love for us has given us a way to return to the love of God and claim our rightful place in the Kingdom of God. He has shown the world that all we have to do is LOVE HIM and HIM Alone. He tells us that He will not only be our Father and God, but that he will be our FRIEND! He only requires us to abandon ourselves to His will and “Abide” in Him. We do not need to have any prior training or knowledge. We just need to gather all that we think we know and come humbly to Him asking that He “Dissect” our souls! This act of absolute surrender will usher in LOVE. This will bring WISDOM who has the very heart of God. God will move heaven and earth for the promotion, protection, and safety of the Holy Ghost, which is WISDOM. Let all who have an ear to hear, hear what thus saith the LORD God Almighty. Surrender today so that you may “Receive ye the Holy Ghost!” Tomorrow is not promised. Amen.
Scriptures for Consecration: (Emphasis added where bold letters appear)
10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (1 Peter 5:10-11)
3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. (1 John 2:3-6)
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me. 25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. 26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. (John 14:23-26)
1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abidethin me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10 If ye keep my commandments,ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. (John 15:1-14)
1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: 2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. 3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. 4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. 5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. 6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. 7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. 8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. 9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. 10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. (John 17:1-10)

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.

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.
Men should always live for the opportunity to praise and worship God. To “shout” as most Christians think of it is to offer praise and worship to God. But, is it really? It can be…if sincere. To run, scream, and yell does not mean that true praise and worship are being offered. Lucifer, now called the devil, was once a Cherubim Angel and was responsible for leading other angels in praising and worshipping God. As an act of rebellion against God, whom he hates, he incites many Christians today to disturb church services with “false” audible praise that many accept as true praises to God. Fortunately, those with a genuine spiritual connection with God are not deceived and can discern the devil’s works. God has taught me the proper manner in which to offer Him praise and worship. I share these teachings with you below.
What is Praise?
Praise, as God has taught me, is to be thankful. When we praise God, we express our gratitude for His response to our prayers and His protection of us in all matters. His loving arms are forever outstretched to fight our enemies for our survival. He does the things that we cannot do for ourselves, and for that, we should be grateful and thankful. We praise with a loud voice; we exclaim His joy everlasting, we dance as David danced, and we might even hold up holy hands. All of these things are acts of visible praise that others might see. God searches the heart as we praise Him to see if we are truly praising Him or creating a “show” for others to see. God cannot be fooled. Our praise must be genuine. The scriptures below are only a few that support the act of giving proper praise to God:
35 And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the Lord: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing. (Gen 29:35)
2 Praise ye the Lord for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves. 3 Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the Lord; I will sing praise to the Lord God of Israel. (Judges 5:2-3)
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. (2 Chron 7:5-6)
What is Worship?
To worship God is to absolutely adore Him! When we worship Him, we must “humble” ourselves in His presence. Who are we to stand upright before the Lord God? In true worship, we automatically fall on our knees, hide our faces, bow our heads, etc. God is too great for us to stand upright in His presence if we truly worship Him! The “surrendered” human spirit of man worships God, and an abandoned spirit already knows how to worship the LORD God Almighty! The scriptures below support what God has taught me about worship. True worship cannot be faked. However, Satan will mock true worshipers. His goal is to pull such a worshiper into false praise and loud outbursts, to pull them out of truly humbling themselves before the LORD. This does not mean worship is always silent, but it does mean it is NOT disruptive. God only reads the heart and knows the true intent of the heart. Make sure you are not guilty of allowing the enemy to move you into false worship.
During “true” worship given to God, the surrendered human spirit ignores the natural surroundings as the worshiper fixates on the Spirit and Presence of God Almighty! Search the scriptures and see what is said about “worship.” A few significant scriptures are listed below:
5 And the Lord descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord. 6 And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, 7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, unto the third and to the fourth generation. 8 And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped. (Ex 34:5-8)
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. (John 4:23-24)
