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.
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)

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.

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)

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)

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)
26 And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the Lord. 27 And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the Lord led me to the house of my master’s brethren. (Gen 24:26-27)
48 I bowed down my head, and worshipped the Lord, and blessed the Lord God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master’s brother’s daughter unto his son. (Gen 24:48)
31 And the people believed: and when they heard that the Lord had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped. (Ex 4:31)

This past weekend, I watched portions of the original movie, Godzilla. What I saw were clear visions of evil. I never realized before that Godzilla is an alleged sea monster. The bible warns us of many dangers lurking in the sea. In this movie, I saw a relentless creature out to destroy mankind around the world. It was so focused in its pursuit that every possible defense that the “humans” brought forth to combat this creature, only met a more dedicated pursuit for them to be destroyed. This presented me with a visual image of how Satan attacks the souls of man. He never stops coming. He continuously breeds others to carry out his missions of destruction against the people of God. He, not only has an army of demons, but also a “human” army that is willing to serve him. How ironic is it that even so-called believers, or false Christians can serve his cause. They do so by pretending to love Jesus, by allowing themselves to become passive participants, and allow Satan the use of their bodies and their minds. Many do this in exchange for power, riches and wealth on earth, while others are truly ignorant to the fact that they are being used by Satan. Yes, I am speaking of demonic possessions. With this, I must remove them from the category of “true believers”. These possessed believers are actually false Christians who are controlled by Satan. Guard your soul as it is up for grabs to be owned and controlled by whichever spirit you serve!
Today I also came across a man who is an active Satanist. He mocked Jesus Christ and God Almighty. He cursed my God unmercifully. He then challenged God to hit him with thunder and lightning if his words had angered Him. After there were no such actions by God, he then bragged saying that this was proof that there is no God. He is God, he claims. His money is God. You are God. It was difficult to watch and listen to, but necessary. You see, my LORD God Almighty wanted to show me the difference between those who say they love him and those who actively fight and speak for Satan. Satan employs dedicated, relentless, and totally committed activists to fight for his cause against the LORD God. They do so with the same dedicated pursuit that I saw in the Godzilla movie! They stop at nothing to get what they want. The demons operate in fear of what Satan will do to them, while the Satanist attempts to inflict fear against the people of God. They are controlled by their greed for power and fame. They want the people of God to be afraid.
Just so you know that I am not off base, know that Leviathan is a sea monster that God speaks of in the books of Job, Psalm, and Isaiah. Have you ever considered who this is? Do you simply react to it as fiction and see movies such as Godzilla as mere entertainment? The serpent in the Garden of Eden was not a snake! It was an evil enemy of God. It lies at the bottom of the sea and is capable of transforming itself even into an angel of light. The sea is filled with “demons” and evil creatures, according to the word of God and the Divine Revelation that He has given me! Take this knowledge and apply it to the scriptures below and may God have mercy on your soul!
Scriptures for Consecration:
What is a Sea Monster?
God’s message to Job after he refused to use the power of God that had been granted to him as a resource in his battle against Satan:
8 Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? 9 When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it, 10 And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors, 11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed? (Job 38:8-11)
1 Moreover the Lord answered Job, and said, 2 Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it. 3 Then Job answered the Lord, and said, 4 Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth. 5 Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further. 6 Then answered the Lord unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said, 7 Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. (Job 40:1-7)
God informed Job of the dangers of following Satan as a Sea Monster (behemoth & Leviathan):
15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. 16 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. 17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. 18 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron. 19 He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him. 20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play. 21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. 22 The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about. 23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth. 24 He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares. (Job 40:15-24)
1 Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down? 2 Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn? 3 Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee? 4 Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever? 5 Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens? 6 Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants? 7 Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears? 8 Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more. 9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him? 10 None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me? 11 Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine. 12 I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion. 13 Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle? 14 Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about. 15His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal. 16 One is so near to another, that no air can come between them. 17 They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered. 18 By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. 19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out. 20 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron. 21 His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth. 22 In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him. 23 The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved. 24 His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone. 25 When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves. 26 The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon. 27 He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood. 28 The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble. 29 Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear. 30 Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire. 31 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment. 32 He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary. 33 Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear. 34 He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride. (Job 41:1-34)

Dear Believers in Christ Jesus. NEVER take God for granted. He is our only hope in all things. His arms are outstretched and waiting for us all to love Him unconditionally. Please read and consider the words below. He who hath an ear to hear, let him hear what the Lord is saying. Amen.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. (John 3:6-8)
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. (John 4:24)
Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof. 6 Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. 7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. 8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them. 9 He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it. 10 He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end. 11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof. 12 He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud. 13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent. 14 Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand? (Job 26:5-14)

Today, God spoke an awesome truth that, although I knew, I realized I did not know it as God wanted me to know and understand it. I now share this teaching with you. You might receive the words with your mind and miss the blessing, so seek the face of God for the true spiritual implications of the referenced scriptures and explanation provided.
A portion of my study today was in Deuteronomy 26. This led me to other chapters about the intent of God and the role He expects to play in our lives. It has never been the intent of God for Him to simply be the God of our fathers, but rather that He should be Our God! He made the first correction of this problem with the Israelites as presented in the study of the book of Deuteronomy. Even before we accept Him as our God, He showers us with His Love and protection. Then…He expects us to make a choice as He did with Israel. We have to make a choice to accept or reject Him as our God. When we choose God as OUR God, we enter into a covenant relationship with Him as Father and Keeper of our souls. This covenant relationship hinges on our willingness to repent and obey His laws.
God had to move Israel from a dependent relationship with Him to a personal relationship of choice. Those who agreed to repent and obey became his people, and He became their God! This new relationship allowed them to enter into a covenant with God whereby they became beneficiaries of the blessings or curses explained.
As we read the holy scriptures today, we face the same choices. We must look at the bible as a detailed “history” of the workings of God as He dealt with His people. We see many gods spoken of in the bible, and we have to decide what we believe and do not believe. If we conclude that Jehovah God is GOD, we must “choose” Him as our God. When we choose Him, He requires of us the same thing as He did with Israel. We must accept His “Truths” as our way of life. We must agree to follow and obey His Truths. We must repent if we have failed to follow Him after knowing what we should do! When we repent, He searches the heart to see if our words are valid. It is the heart that is judged and not the mouth. When we are true to God, He grants us the right to be called the “children of God.” As you expect your earthly children to follow and obey you, so it is with our LORD.
All relationships with God hinge upon the truthfulness of our repentant hearts. The promises of the bible do not belong to us until we become “People of God” and He becomes our GOD! In addition to the scriptures below, please read, study, and pray through Deuteronomy 26-31. Amen.
Scripture References:
5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. (1 John 1:5-10)
1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. (1 John 3:1-10)
