Words of Wisdom: Tolerance Is Not Allowed

Words of Encouragement:

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)

Words of Wisdom: Praise and Worship In the Presence of God

Words of Wisdom and Scripture Reference:

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 generation8 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)

Prayers: Praise and Worship In the Presence of God

God Hear Our Prayer:

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.

Prayers: Have Mercy On Me Lord

God Hear Our Prayer:

Dear LORD Almighty, I give you my heart today.  I love you, LORD, far greater than mere words can express.  Teaching others about your unchanging love reaches far beyond my expressions of love and worship to you.  If I am able to shake the vine, Lord, to produce “fruit,” then my soul is at peace.  Although selfishly I desire to keep you all to myself, I am comforted by the fact that you are so wide and fill the everlasting space of time that there is no need for me to want you all to myself.  Lord, the more I get to know you, the more I realize that every “surrendered” soul can already claim that “it” has total personal access to your Spirit, because it is so!  You have no end to your love and what you have to offer.  Giving me 100 percent of “You” takes nothing from anyone else and, God, that blows my mind!  How could I understand this and not love you completely?

The ways of Satan are evil through and through.  There is no light anywhere.  The closer I get to you, LORD, the more I see the ways of your enemy, which is now my enemy only because I dared to love you, Lord Jesus, with ALL of my heart.  Father, when you sent me to the Christian world to tell it that ¾ of the Christian world is on its way to hell and don’t know it, I believed that it could change.  I believed, Lord, that one by one, church by church, when they heard the truth that change would come.  I so wanted to believe this.  I, even I, wanted to prove to you that change could take place.  I thank you, Lord, for those that have listened and those that are yet seeking the truth.  Bless them, Lord, and show them the truths that you have shown me so that we can all walk with you hand in hand, Lord Jesus!  Show me, Lord, the many truths that you have shown others so that I too can have all of you.

But…O God, the evil that I have seen within the body of Christ!  The hatred and bitterness that fills the very pores of the Christian Leaders who dare to be called by your name.  I have seen the Ministers and Preachers lurking in the darkness to contrive evil acts against others.  I have seen Churches allow Satan to sing and dance in the pulpits and they are clueless to who he is.  I have heard the true doctrines of demons being preached to your people and I, Lord, have even seen the Pastors degrading members from the pulpit and preaching to destroy them emotionally with lies and deep deceptions!  I set out to show you that there is hope and instead you allowed me to see what you see…Oh how great is the darkness and the evil!  How can you love us, LORD God?  The stench that comes up to you is great.  How do you tolerate our lack of obedience and failure to worship you as God?  LORD, have mercy on our souls!

With every revelation of who you are, I am more humbled in your presence knowing that you are the great I AM THAT I AM!  To have known “I AM” allows me to stay close to you and never depart.  Thank you for the protection you have provided all of my life and particularly over the past week.  You know my heart and what I need…always.  Thank you, LORD GOD.

I pray now, LORD, for the students and followers of Dissect My Soul Ministries.  Keep them grounded and safe.  May they grow continuously in perfecting their relationships with you, Father.  For those participants that have already joined the “Love Jesus” Movement and those that are yet to join, I pray, God, that you will make the spiritual challenge of falling deeper in love with you as powerful as the Holy Spirit will allow!  Help them to know that there is more to loving you than what the world is saying. For this dear Lord, I am grateful. Amen, Amen and AMEN.

Words of Wisdom: Have Mercy On Me Lord

Consecration and Scripture Reference:

Teachings:

My life has been a roller coaster of trials and tribulations over the last few months.  The last 7 days have proven to be worse yet.  All these things have been allowed by God to teach me how to trust and love Him more.  All that I teach, I must first live.  When I live it, it then becomes my testimony and no one can alter or cause me to deny that which I have personally endured.  I am grateful to God for being my friend.  In the midst of all matters of life, I still find the teachings of God to be true and everlasting.  If you follow the truths below, you will ALWAYS prevail over darkness.  As I endured the darkness that was before me, I followed the steps below which I now pass on to you.  Study the scriptures and make them your own.  Amen.

Always repent before the Lord…daily.  When you pray, assume that you have sinned in some manner, even if you do not know the specifics.  This cannot be a routine that is not genuine.  It cannot be half-hearted.  God will read your heart to see if your repentance is genuine.  See the words of Psalm 51 below. Use this as your daily guide with the goal of God restoring a “Clean Heart” within you.

Worship God in spirit and in truth.  God is Spirit and is all “Truth.”  There is no evil or darkness within Him.  God does not need us constantly begging for stuff and things in life.  All we need to do is “honestly” Worship Him! See the scriptures below.  When we worship God, darkness cannot remain in our lives.  True worship is a product of true love.

  • 1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. 4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. 5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. 6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. 7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. 9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. 12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. 13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. 14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. 15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise. 16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. 18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem. 19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.  (Psalms 51:1-19)

  • 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)

  • 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.  (John 14:16-17)

  • 13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.  (John 16:13-15)

Prayers: Evil is Everywhere

God Hear Our Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, my God and my Lord.  I thank you not only for this day in which you have allowed me to breath, to hear, to see, and to understand.  I pray that you will protect me throughout my daily journey and my complete walk with you, Lord.  Today, dear LORD, I surrender my soul unto you.  The more I see…the more I understand.  I know that you have given me choices in life and, Sweet God Almighty, I choose you!  I want no other choice in life.  I understand that I am not capable of choosing correctly for myself.  The devil stands watching at the gates of my heart to present me with choices that are against your perfect will for me.  I see him, and I hear him, but I will not open my heart to him.  The only way, Father, that I can survive is with you!  Amen.

On my last Sabbath Day, LORD, as I studied your word, prayed and worshiped you, God, I gained added light into the degree of evil that surrounds this world.  How great is this evil! All the wisdom of this world does not compare to even a single element of what you give to those that Love YOU, dear Lord.  The foolishness of our hearts and our evil imaginations are only evil in your sight as the Almighty God.  When we begin to think that we are in control of our own destiny, we have already lost the battle.  When we believe that we have gotten away with a particular sinful act, we fool ourselves, as you, God, cannot be deceived. Evil lurks nearby delighted that we have been such an easy prey.  O God, have mercy on us!

You protect us when we have no knowledge that we need to be protected.  Please, Lord; continue to identify the things for which we must pray.  Search our hearts and know that we want you and YOU alone.  Search my heart, Heavenly Father, and KNOW that I am yours. Remove, LORD, all things that might stand between you and me and that might deny me access to your Presence, Dear God.  I give you all of me today, yet again.  I do not trust what I see or hear.  I only trust you, LORD.  It is your truth and your understanding that guides me along this treacherous journey of life.  Thank you for your Mercy and your Grace. I pray that the Holy Ghost Spirit will dwell this day within my total being.  I am treading on dangerous ground and evil is all around.  Every step I take, I take in faith that Wisdom is with me.  I understand that because of my love for you, dear LORD, that your enemies have become my enemies.  I know that the first and last layer of protection for me is wrapped up in Wisdom!  How great is your Wisdom, my God.  I will not be moved by the angry gestures, or the awful visions of destruction.  I place my soul and my spirit into the hands of you as my LORD and Savior.  Amen.

Bless the members of DMSM and the students that pass our way.  Give them the right mind and heart to serve you this day.  Let them know that you truly are God! Amen, Amen and AMEN.

Prayers: Divine Revelation of Clouds

God Hear Our Prayer:

Dear Lord, my God, how awesome is your wisdom and knowledge.  Thank you, Father, for loving me better than I could ever love myself.  Thank you, LORD GOD, for the protective arm that you place around your children as the enemy rages close by.  Most of all, I thank you today for the revelation you have provided of the mysterious image I saw in the sky as I traveled through the mountains.  I love you, LORD GOD, for all that you are and I pray, LORD, that you will always direct my paths.  As I embrace this day, I need you to be with me every second.  Let the meditations of my heart be forever of thee, O LORD.  Today, I worship you and you alone.  Teach me thy ways, Father, so I can always be within your perfect will.  I give you my heart today and openly declare my everlasting love for you.  You are the greatest Friend that I have ever had.  Help me to always remain as loyal to you as you are to me.

Allow those that see or hear this revelation, LORD, to receive it as being from You, Father. Help them, Lord, to not lean upon their own understanding and to know that you are still speaking to your people and all souls that are willing to hear.  I give you all the honor and glory this day and ask, LORD, that you Dissect My Soul.  Amen, Amen and AMEN.

Words of Wisdom: Divine Revelation of Clouds

Divine Revelation and Wisdom of God

Dear Students and Followers of Dissect My Soul Ministries, I greet you today in the name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who is the Living Son of God.  I pray that you will do all that you can to right the wrongs in your lives in order to conform to the perfect will of God.  This is my prayer not only for you, but also for me.  Amen.

I bring to you today the revelation of God regarding a very unusual cloud that I witnessed a few days ago.  I asked God at the time I saw this strange phenomenon to explain to me what I saw…if it was His will that I know.  This morning, as I labored in prayer and worship with God, He explained what I saw.  It was not a vision, as some of you might think.  My companion driver saw this image of the cloud and the darkened shadow just as I did.  See God’s revelation below:

“Zelma, my Child, hear my words of Wisdom and explanation of what you saw near the mountain.  There was no shadow.  There was an unusual cloud that you witnessed on the backside of the mountain.  My Spirit prevailed in the cloud.  I only hovered over a portion of the mountain which was that portion filled with light.  I am all light.  There is no darkness within Me.  The shadow that appeared on the mountain that had not my light was that part of the mountain that was missing my Presence.  So it is with the world around you.  When I am not present, artificial light appears to the natural eye and gives all men a false sense of comfort.  If they have never known the light that I AM, they do not even know they are in darkness.  This is what breaks my heart.  They say that I am there with them when I am not.  They say this because they have not yet known Me.  As you saw the dark shadowy mountains looming ahead, so do I see the darkness that is prevailing over those who claim to know Me.  How long must I wait?  When will they truly love Me?  I am the Almighty God that can provide all things.  Yet I am not loved as God Almighty!  Should I leave the whole world in darkness since they love their lives and their own wisdom more than Me?  It is my desire that ALL men should know Me and love Me.  Tell them to “consider” the mountains that you witnessed.  Do they want to live in the shadow of darkness cast by the spirit of evil or do they desire to rest in my Presence and be gathered into my arms that provide perpetual light?  Remember that “I Am that I Am that I Am” and always will be.  Tell them my child…Tell them that I am the LORD!”

Scripture Reference and Consecration:

As you read the scriptures below, place yourself in the story as either the person being spoken to, the one being disobedient, or the one being blessed.  Make it personal to your life. Remember that even though the scriptures explain to you the character of God and how He handled or spoke to the people of that time, it only becomes relevant to you if you become the character in the story and seek to follow the character of God.  This prevents each of us from “pretending” that we are better than those being spoken to.  Amen.

Also notice that God always had an independent message for the people.  Know that He is still speaking to us today. We make God a liar when we say that He is not able to speak and reveal to His people today.  Seek God for further understanding of the revelation that is stated herein.  Remain blessed in the Lord Forever.  Amen.

  • And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee. (Deut. 28:29)
  • The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law. (Deut. 29:29)
  • 1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? 2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. (Isaiah 53: 1-3)
  • 19 Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven. 20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: 21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: 22 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him. 23 I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king’s matter. (Dan. 2:19-23)

God Hear Our Prayer:

Dear LORD, my great and awesome God.  Thank you, Father, for yet another opportunity to stand before your throne that is filled with Grace and Mercy.  Grace that abounds bountifully within my heart and Mercy that looks beyond my sinful flesh and responds to my every spiritual need.  To Thee, O God, do I bow down and worship your Holy Name!

Even as I love you, Lord, I see the walls caving in around me, O my God!  I see the world going mad in its zeal to know all things.  I see the Churches entering the race for prestige and wisdom…without seeking your face.  Even as I see the devastating things of this world, as you have allowed me to see, My LORD, I experience the comfort of being held in your loving arms.  It is here, LORD, that I, even I, enjoy your powerful peace and the glory and majesty of your holy presence!  Because you shower me with your everlasting Love, O God, I have no fear of the horrible things that I see.  Thank you, LORD, for loving me more than I could ever love myself.  I know, Sweet Jesus, that it is because of your love that I am able to stand.  Thank you for teaching me how to love.  Amen.

Today LORD, as always, I pray for Dissect My Soul Ministries’ Disciples and Followers.  I bring them with me, before your throne, O God.  I pray that you will shower them with your everlasting love and protection.  They are like “Lambs,” O Lord, that are willing to follow your every direction.  They have been allowed to witness much on this journey to live for You alone, Lord God.  They have seen the many miracles that you have performed and they have witnessed the attempted destruction by your enemy against us all, O LORD.  Many have come and gone, but these, O God, are still standing!  Thank you for their faithfulness to You and the Ministry that you have given us.  Keep us forever humbled before you, O Lord.  Help us to continuously know that without you, we are weak and powerless.  Help us, Father, to continue to walk in Faith, understanding that with You, O God, we are capable of doing all things in your name.

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.

God Hear Our Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, my God Almighty, this day I submit my will unto thee.  I ask for forgiveness, Lord God, for anything that I might have said or done against thee.  Today I honor and worship you, O Lord.

Today, God, I saw a very interesting thing.  I saw a thing that has caused me to worship you even more.  Please help me understand, Lord Jesus.  I was traveling on the interstate in a mountainous area.  As a passenger in the car, I found myself “considering” the mountains, the sky, the clouds, and the wind!  O Lord, have mercy on my soul.

As the mountains loomed ahead and around, I saw a shadow slowly cover the major hilltops.  Some of the mountains were greatly lightened with brightness, but, O God, there was a “shadow” that covered a major portion of the hilltop.  I looked into the sky to see what was visible that could be casting such a strange shadow.  There was no cloud nearby.  In fact, there were no clouds…except a small oddly shaped figure in the sky above.  It stood afar off from the hilltop, as if gazing on from the inside out.  The closer I drew nearer to the mountains, the darker and more pronounced the shadow became.  Though my natural mind saw nothing out of the ordinary, my inner spirit began to reveal much more.  I instantly knew that a war was raging in the spiritual realm!  Lord, I did not understand.  All I knew was that your wonders of the world continue to amaze me.

As I entered the backside of the mountain, the most incredible sight was hovering over the top of the mountain.  It was a cloud…a very unusual cloud.  It was oval-shaped and had multiple layers that stacked upon each other.  It looked almost transparent as if each layer stood alone yet was mingled as one.  It was not very big, but it was the source of the shadow that was covering the mountain side!  The wind was blowing profusely and leaves on the nearby trees were waving in the wind.  It was truly an amazing sight, Dear Lord!

What did I see?  How could it affect one part of the mountain and not the other?  This whole experience helped me to see, once again, that the things we trust in this world may or may not be worthy of our trust.  The things created by you for mankind to rely upon, we forsake. Forgive me, Father, for my rejection of you in any way.  I might not ever understand the experience I had, but I will forever be grateful that you continue day by day to perfect the things around us.  Thank you, LORD God, for your love and protection.

Teach me, Lord, always.  Help me to remain open to all that you have.  Pour your Holy Spirit within my mind and help me to always be open to your wisdom, Father.  I pray, Lord God, for Dissect My Soul members, students, and followers.  Strengthen them, Lord, each day.  They are seeking your presence, Lord, so that we might ALL be in one accord with you.  You know my heart and my prayer for each of them individually, so I pray that your perfect will can prevail in our lives.  We know, Lord God, that it is through your perfect will that we are able to stand.  Amen, Amen and Amen.
