What if you saw the Lion of Judah on a leash being led out of the building by men. He turned His head toward you to see and pray.. Almost a look for help……. As you went to go to the Lion. The door was barred and you noticed no one was in the pool surrounded by glass walls…… You had to move all the furniture that was blocking your access to the way through the pool and to get to the Lion.

If this was a dream what would it mean? Could you ever allow the look of the Lion to vanish from your thoughts or sight without praying? Oh Father of all, please have mercy.

Lord, we will not despise Your prophecies or quench Your precious Spirit as written in 1 Thessalonians chapter 5…..

There was a conversation that was passed along between Charles Spurgeon and a bible salesman, and Spurgeon spoke- oh dear man, just let the Lion go.

How can a man get a leash on the Lion of Judah?

And why would anyone want to leash and bind our mighty King?

Hmm, wondering and wondering…… Let Him go and He will never stop. But what can stop the mighty Lion of Judah?

Our unbelief and man’s agenda or system of religion. Where men call Him Lord but do not exalt Him.

As Psalm 78 is written in verses 40-42: How often they provoked Him in the wilderness and grieved Him in the desert! Yes, again and again they tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. They did not remember His power: the day when He redeemed them from the enemy.

Yes, the pleasing way to the Father of Lights is to walk by faith.

Worship Him above all else.

Walk in the Spirit and not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.

Walk by faith and not by sight.

We the redeemed of God, say and should be living in the above ways of God.

As He speaks into our ear this minute……

Then Jesus said to His disciples, If anyone desires for come after Me, let Him deny himself,, and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?

For the Son of Man will come in glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.

Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom, ( Matthew 16:24-28).

So then Jesus tells us to lay down our life and take His.

Remember, when He died we died with Him and when He rose, we have risen into His new life with Him.

So then, why might the King of glory be leashed?

We want what we want and will not look to what He wants. Our flesh quenches the Spirit of God and our reason and our prejudice. Selah!!

His way of moving this day is different than ever before for most Christian Americans.

Do we want the King of glory or do we want the way we have always done things?

What if all was gone but Him? We sat before His face and ……..

Hearing His Word and speaking those same words returning into His ears.

Knowing they shall be fulfilled by a heart of faith filled of Him.

Can we hear His click of fingers and turn with our eyes closed and walk by faith?

Can we stop all for Him? Can we hear Him? Can we leave all for Him?

Bible studies with Him are enlightening and retained in one’s heart.

Do not be deceived, we live before the Lion of Judah today and not before men.

Can the Lion of Judah build a feast in the midst of a desert? Absolutely!

Can the Lion of Judah be free to move and have His way in a prison cell? Absolutely!!

Picture a father coming home from a long day and his table has been prepared by his doing, his hand….

and every one was too busy to come sit before him……. They did not even know He was there all the time waiting for them………

Yes, it is hard on the flesh to meet with our God in faith, but oh, you cannot stop the rewards and yes, the persecution comes as well……. The evil one does not like you in communion with the Father and Son and the Holy Spirit……Jump high over the distractions and keep His gaze.

Can we see the New Year today as unleashing the Holy One in our lives and learn to understand with Wisdom the ways of our King? A one on one with the God of the universe…. He is at His table sitting to share all His Person with us……

Jump in the pool which represents being filled with the fire of His Spirit within you….. Let Him in and then let the fire go. Yes, He leads and we follow….. Do not quench Him or leash Him. He is glorious and wonderful…. He wants to make us as Him too! You want to be glorious and wonderful as we partake of the greatness of our King? You will not see that in you but Him shining through!

Come on and jump in and then learn to become small and He soooooo BIG!!!!

Please let us pray and learn not to leash our King and live in the pool of His Holy Spirit where the water is clear and fresh and gives life, eternal life to all who will believe and go on a path that is just made for you.

He is waiting for His kids at His table……. to teach, to share, to rise and enlist His chosen.

COME AND SEE!!!!!!

Selah!!!

Remember as written in 2 Corinthians 3:17-18, Now the Lord is the Spirit; where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Only by the Spirit of God may we hear the Spirit of God……..Come on in and walk in His newness of life and go where we have never gone but He has….. Trust the King and walk with Him this day.

It is a new day everyday and a new adventure and a bit overwhelming, but He says that is why He is with us to show us how to walk as He did.. and does….. Trust Him and come on to the table.

Then we shall realize when the leash is on Him, it is actually on us for we have tied His hands from being God to us and through us by our unbelief.

Remember, the empty go away full from our Shepherd and the full go away empty……….He has set a provision for our journey………..Guess where you will find it……….and apprehend it.

As we step from faith to faith and glory to glory, His Spirit will keep us fully standing in His name for it is all about His fame……. in His name, on His firm foundation, the Word of God. Do not fear, in faith of Him is where we lay our victory in….We only do what we see Him do and say and then wait, for He is faithful and true. Be still and know He is God and will be exalted among the nations. Just keep in time with His rhythm and rhyme, for He is so very sublime. Investing your life in His hands is the best risk that you will ever take……. He will have us lean all the way, even when it feels we will fall, but oh, look at us now. We have climbed unto another plateau. We are with Him all His way as He shows us His kingdom that He has bestowed. The romance of the King and His own will never be quite known by any then those who chose to follow Him in His step. They left all behind to pick up the cross that we carry now, but the delight in His Spirit takes the sorrow away and look at us now for joy has her full way…..

Don’t stand there and watch like through a looking glass. Join us and meet Him at the cross…… He is there and not there for all eternity….. Join us at the table of the King, for there is always room for you…..In truth of Him, He has set a place for you.

Selah!!

.

We Worship A Living God!

No matter what we are going through. No matter whatever the evil one throws at us, we worship a Living God! The One True Living God and there is no other!

This is exciting to contemplate. We do not worship a God that is far away or is dead. He is alive and is closer than our next breath. Put down your woes ! Praise and shout to our God, the Most High, for being so close to us. His Son Jesus Christ took the cross for us, so we could partake of an open heaven with Him. He paid the cost. What a great God. He is beyond what we could ever think or imagine.

He is not bewildered.

He is not quiet.

His hands are not tied or bound.

His arm is not shortened.

He may be hiding, but He is always found.

He never hides so He is not able to hear to help.

He is not a statue and a god made of man’s hands.

He has no Beginning and no End.

He has never stopped to woo His beloved to Him.

His blood speaks today.

His power is keeping all the galaxies in their appointed place and you.

He knows all our thoughts.

He is everywhere and in us who believe.

He knows all our doings.

He knows all our hopes and longings.

He knows everything, even your everything!

Most of all, His love for everyone is an everlasting love! Why stay far away, when you can enjoy the best love of your life? He made you for His pleasure and glory…….. Really!

He is the most wonderful and ever powerful and sustaining God that longs for His children to draw near to Him and talk and share their day. He then may share His thoughts too. He wants to help and show off for you and through you.

We worship a True Living God. He is alive and watches everything. He draws near to those who draw near to Him. He will never stop being there for us. He will never turn His back until…….. time is up.

Then woe to those who never stepped up to His plate, the cross, and bowed before the Son who took the cost.

How we may come to Him as a small servant, full of heart of His heart to see them accomplished with Him on and through the earth of man. Waiting for His tap to share in His work. How cool is this God! He wants us to work with Him…. even us!

Or we may approach Him, as a very grateful daughter, whose Father thought of everything for her. He has given her all His love by showing her – She jumps up and down telling Him-You know my heart- look at what You did for me again. Oh Heavenly Father, thank You. Her glee and joy witnesses His pleasure seeing her smile from one ear to the other, His heart is satisfied…….. She knows that it was My hand that did this pleasure for her. She has given me so much glory.

I cannot witness as a son because I have no gender questions and I do not know from a male standpoint the Father meeting a male’s heart desires. But if you are a male, go to Your Heavenly Father and give Him your gratitude. Hopefully you get my drift.

If you are a His armed force in this earth for His cause….. Come to Him, bow before the King and give Him your allegiance. If you have not spoken to His face on your offer of service and sacrifice, talk to Him. Sometimes we are drafted and sometimes we enlist……If, there has been no declaration, make one. Allow the Father of all nations to place His hand on your shoulder as He accepts your offering. He then, puts His Spirit of strength, a will to obey and endurance within our stature so we may stay the course bringing His name and fame to all, even if we are on the front lines……

We have been given His hand to stay strong through all adversity. As we thank Him, for He delivers us from them all. As well, He gives trouble to those who trouble us……..so then they all may turn to such a King and worship and believe. What an honor it is to bow before the King and we can even kiss Him and some His cheek. He is a faithful leader and trusted in the best of warfare in His Spirit that we partake in. Not of this world but full of victory, His victory, that we celebrate in.

Come to Him, thanking Him for being the Best Friend a person can have. He is never tired. He has never a bad day so He cannot listen and advise your next step in any situation. He is listening and laughing and sighing through maybe your tears and frustration. He is faithfully always there. Most of all is the companionship of walking in His Spirit through every day and night….. He is always here and we are never alone. He is waiting in the morning. He is waiting for us at high noon and at evening and through the dark night….. He is waiting to converse with us. Don’t miss Him. Know His Word so when He speaks we know His Voice.

Thank Him for how great a God He is.

Now may we step to His footfall….. Awaken when He is walking to join Him in seeing where His eyes have turned to see….. There is now a need for a prayer here with Him…. Will you join Him in His pursuit of His filled purpose on this earth for this day? There have been many days in His time for this earth. Think of all the generations and all the cries for Him to meet…… In which He did by His perfect will for every soul……. His everlasting love will never fail any single soul on this earth.

They may lose the very best chance to know the One True Living God, but not because of our God but because of their own choice to ignore His whispers, His taps, His shouts, His cry as His tears rain over every lost soul.

This is our Heavenly Father….. Our One True Living God that we worship and adore and thank.

Why?

He is our Everything. He has become our all and in all of our life….. His heart may rest because He has received His heart longing because He has become our heart longing. He is Lord over our life, even all the sons of men.

Nothing satisfies as He satisfies…… Hearing His Voice…… Hearing His guidance. Hearing His laugh and chuckles. Hearing His sighing. Hearing His I AM loves you more.

I need say no more….. Listen to Him and receive your hearts satisfaction in His love……His Spirit is waiting to show you-

Come out- How -you ask….. Holy Spirit will show you…. Obey!

Come up here- What? How? Huh?- Quiet your soul…… Holy Spirit will show you! Believe and obey!

Come, I AM will show you things to come- What do You mean? How? – Quiet your souls….. My Spirit resides in you and will reveal all……. Listen and be faithful in the little so I AM may give you the much.

Wait…. Did you come to meet Me at the cross?

Did you allow My blood to wash you clean and make you new?

Did you give Me your heart?

Have you received My heart?

Did you leave behind what you know to leave behind today?

Repent means repent and leave all to embrace Me in My New…… Have you?

Take a step in heaven, your strength will be given as you walk to Me and leave the rest behind.

Call to I AM and I AM will answer…..

Come out……from among them….. Embrace Me! I AM will never let you go.

Walk with me and get used to your new shoes….. All else will fall into place in Me….

Just believe and lean on Me.

SELAH! SELAH!

Praise the Father!

Praise the Son!

Praise the Holy Spirit!

Our One True Living God!

I told you He is alive! Now do you believe?

Believe and receive all that He has died to give.

He died to bring your sins to death.

He lives to bring us in His resurrected life…..

We are clean and partake of His new Life.

He implants within us His living Holy Spirit and calls us His own,

So now we walk by His Spirit in His Word to fulfill His purpose in and through us.

AMEN and AMEN!!!

So have you all seen the The Chosen Christmas Celebration at the the theaters? Huh? If not, GO! Box office hit- come on! How cool is God!!!!

The show was excellent as well as the acting of the special couple that perfect night. I know I am weird but in one of the dissertations of the actors I heard- God was silent in over four hundred years. So to imagine not to hear our Lord…… The silence from heaven for over four hundred years. I have to listen to Him all the time…… Oh God, thank You for Your Son. Thank You for disturbing the sound of silence!!!

Thank you also all The Chosen for bringing into our life the True Reality of God.

WOW! So grateful for our King! Can you imagine?

So another smart see is the a Christmas light spectacular playing with the Sound Of Silence song written by Paul Simon in 1964. This great work of the lighting is phenomenal as well as the sync to the song……Thank you so much to the family and their dedication to WOW America!

The Lyrics are outstanding as well as the the lighted house celebrating our King’s birth……..

We are not in the four hundred year silence between the prophets and our Lord’s birth. Thanking God does not seem enough when we understand……. The silence is over…….. at least for those who believe in the Christ Jesus, who came as a babe long ago.

Can you imagine not hearing His voice by His Spirit within us anymore? Can you? Jesus Christ is not in the manger any more…… but that night He broke the sound of silence.

The death and the shedding of His blood opened up the gates that were closed for, oh, so long……for us to know our God again……His bloody death was the only way for us to walk in heaven again in Him. Do you not see the greatest victory was obtained by Him for you and me?

Imagine all that can be with His Spirit living inside you? Nope, not even close…… The Uncreated God desires to have all that He can in us……We are His purpose in Christ Jesus on the earth…….so all can know He is God and there is no other.

Knowing Jesus Christ and all He came to give us. He broke the sound of silence…… By chance, you are reading this, and the kingdom of heaven is not within you…..Let Him in and allow His place to break your sound of silence.

Here are the lyrics……..by Paul Simon

Hello darkness, my old friend

I’ve come to talk with you again

Because a vision softly creeping

Left its seeds while I was sleeping

And the vision that was planted in my brain

still remains

Within the sounds of silence

In restless dreams, I walked alone

Narrow streets of cobblestone

‘Neath the halo of a street lamp

I turned my collar to the cold and damp

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

That split the night

And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light, I saw

Ten thousand people, maybe more

People talking without speaking

People hearing without listening

People writing songs that voices never shared

And no one dared

Disturb the sound of silence

Fools, said I, You do not know

Silence like a cancer grows

Hear my Words that I might teach you

Take my arms that I might reach you

But my words, like silent raindrops fell

And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed

To the neon god they made

And the sign flashed out its warning

In the words that it was forming

Then the sign said, “the words of the prophets are

written on the subway walls,

In tenement halls”

And whispered in the sound of silence

Hmmm,

I never knew this song for I was 6 years old when played by my older brothers on their stereos and 45’s!! But I recognized the tune and words but never knew the meaning.

But I do now.

Many folks may want to keep the sound of silence with their Creator.

He is not silent and is always working.

Many may think God is dead, but they are wrong.

If He was dead, ahhh…we would be too! Every breath we breathe is from Him!

He is the Uncreated One, the Holy One, the Ancient of Days. He is Beginning and End. He is Alpha and Omega. The Almighty One. The Everlasting God…….

Sending His Son to you again….for every tongue shall confess and every knee bow that is in heaven, and the earth and below the earth that Jesus Christ is Lord.

Now all is summed up in the Beloved Son of God….We must hear Him….. We must abide in Him.

As well as, always speaking, as His grace abounds to those who are seeking Him. He is always found. He was not the One who was lost.

Four hundred years went by and the heavens were silent with mankind. Four hundred years.

Can you imagine?

And then, the heavens and the earth rejoiced by the astounding sound of angels on high singing of the Savior to bridge the silence for us to hear Him again.

Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, goodwill toward men as written in Luke 2:14.

The little precious child of God broke the silence for all to hear God again.

That which was from the beginning which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life- the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us- that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you may also have fellowship with us, and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. ( 1 John 1:1-3).

The liberty in Christ to have mankind’s relationship restored.

The Gift of Christ to hear His guidance daily.

We apprehend His light to walk in Him though the world is dark……We learn the unseen is reality above the seen.

Yet, still to top it all!!!!!

We are in fellowship with Him!!! We are involved in those conversations and moments in the King of all with His Father.

Keeping in the counsel of God as Abraham.

Hearing the plans of the enemies of God to pray against so they do not prevail. The place secured for us is way above our heads and paygrade, yet, we are there with our King! How glorious and marvelous is is He because He loved us first.

Yes, all of the goodness of God was given to us in this little Baby in the manger.

Who knew the Gift of God was born then?

The people who were humble to know their need..

Who knew the King of kings had arrived?

Oh yes, the evil one did and played in the rulers of the day. Nevertheless, his plan did not avail. Truly heaven rules in the sons of men.

Who hears this day the good tidings of the angel’s chorus and hears His Words and receives His abounding love?

Those who are humble and seek. In their heart they hope there is more so they call out to the One who hears and wait. Then our fellowship starts with the One who was and is and is to come. They will not follow another voice. Their King is here and will never leave them or forsake them. Their King is here.

Our King is here…..

You may say I do not see Him. Do you see the wind? But the effects of the wind are very evident.

Do not be deceived, the natural man cannot perceive the things of God. Check it out in the New Testament…….Read it. I double dog dare you. Get to know the Savior that is always calling you.

Let Me show you the path that we shall walk as one, though My prints are left in the Way.

My saints, My precious broken ones, My vessels, who pour out the golden delight of My perfect light. The Truth of God does always shine bright.

Speaking out- all who are weary from trying to make their own light….Do you not see the road of darkness? The road blocks that you complain of are from Me. …. Come and see what I AM has created in the path for you.,…..from Me.

My way is bright and full of My light….Oh yes, the path is narrow but, oh,the delight of My sight will get you through all the night.

Turn to Me who, yes, is bloody for there is Life abundant in My path of Life. Abounding in you if you believe and see that I AM your only way of peace and tranquility. Through the cross of death is life of resurrection. You must come by faith and then you will see the path of victory, Join My team and joy you shall be. From death to life you shall live……Come with Me….. Just believe.

Yet, others may say, I do not see the highlighted paths you abound to, oh, just keep your step to My rhythm of breath. Let them say, but do not turn their way. Keep your sight to My eye as I AM guides and leads unto the hills with feet of a deer. Grace to grace and liberty to liberty.

Oh, so shall you leap. Just keep your step in Me. All you do shall abound in grace abundantly as you believe. Just come with Me as I AM leads you into greater depths of the mystery.

The Door in Me is open for all to see. You must come to Me and believe and you shall be set free for this is the way for all humanity. Mankind was created for much more that what you see in the here and now. Do you not see the great plans I AM has for thee? You must come and believe in Me.

You shall hear My saints say about Me as you turn to see the sound of the Great I AM speaking to thee…… See they fade in the distance as they display the kingdom of grace where I AM abounds bountifully. For My Grace reveals the majesty of My being before you each day to each minute.

There is much more to Me then the building where you may come for an hour of your time to worship Me….. You are missing more than you can imagine or believe. There is much more of Me than listening to others than coming straight to Me. My Door has been opened. You do not need to break on through, Your faith is the key to walk in boldly. I AM loves His kids. I AM has said if you believe you will see the glory of God. Now do you believe?

Come before Him now and open wide your gates for Him to enter in…. Your heart is where His heart seeks to dwell…… Hard to believe but is true, the King of glory desires to rest in you!

Have you not heard?

Have you not seen?

My King of glory wants to abide in thee. His Word takes life and produces eternally. His glory shall then be seen for all to come and believe. His delight, the delight of the King, is to abide within you and me. Hard to believe, but. oh yes, it is true…… He does not dwell in things made of men…… His longing is to be within you again.

I speak manifesting His truth……This truth is evident by the fruit of peace, when His love abounds within you and me….. The effects will be moving as the wind, and glory to our Father. Thanksgiving will be forever given for His Special Gift of our King.

Do you not hear the change to the North wind? It shall blow as the the King of Glory is trumpeted into the hearts of men all across the nations for all shall stand to bow before Him now. His train is filling the temple of all….. Oh see, this is His extreme delight. Though there will always be Sonshine in our hearts through the night.

Having His preeminence in man, claiming our hearts, will and mind to be His again. His love in us is beyond human nature, which never avails. See then, the world will see His fame, His glory and His victory.

Now you see? Oh, praise God that you have come to believe.

The King is here…. Bloody and ruthless but tender to loving us so far from Him to bring us near….. Then to seat us with Him where He is beyond this world and yet we are there…. Never separated from the King shall we be ever again. Now you come and believe for this is His reality for all eternity and He has desired to share it with you and me. Christ in us is the only hope of glory.

This is His doing and marvelous is He and His Spirit’s work in our eyes. Hidden in God is our place in Christ as one day it shall be for all the world to see the unveiling of the King of glory with His bride by His side shining in the city of His delight. So come on to Him now and allow His Light to shine within and without as you witness our King.

See the north winds blows. As the night shall be dark but do not fear, for we all walk by faith in our Christ to bring us in….. He is a Savior of great renown.

Hear, He is after more! We to crown our King of glory upon all hearts desire and want….. He is our One desire. So supreme is He that He rewards those who are after His heart and His kingdom….. Watch out as He comes in glory with in you… He brings His entourage with Him. As He abounds His grace abounds within thee. This is His reality.

All make room for the King of glory…… He is no longer a babe in the manger – no room for the little Babe who was King of all. Warning to all who won’t allow the King to enter to His victory now.

The sound of silence will linger yet, if you ignore the earnestness of my plea. True reality will see all creation bow before His name who is above every name on this earth, in the heavens and below the earth. As the night gets darker, allow Him to shine from within you bright. Do not turn your ear from this cry and plea….. Time is the essence that we all turn to His reality,

As the night bellows upon all the world, all will see His return. We who have learned that He is the ONE that lights the sky. His angels came to announce His entrance once before on that dark midnight hill, they will be singing again the alleluia chorus- glory to God in the highest and His Son, the Christ has been revealed. Do not fear.

So come and believe His return is near. Glory to God in the highest. He has sent His Prince of peace to be in our hearts for all eternity, and we shall abide in His. Amen and Amen.

There is more than will ever meet any one’s eye the plan of God for His Son and bride……. Come to the Greatest I AM that was and is and will be again…..

He is calling you with His arms wide open….

Yes, His way is bloody but it is surely an everlasting foundation for His plan has been consummated by blood and death and His resurrection from the Great I AM…..

Come in and believe….

He came for you today…….

Break the sound of silence between Him and you.

There is rejoicing over you as you bow to Him and allow Him to come in to your heart….. Can you hear the sound of heaven?

Heaven sounds in gladness for you…… Come and hear!

He loves you and has with an everlasting, never stopping, over reaching love.

Repent of your wayward path of sin leading to death….. Repent of intentionally running when you heard His call…… He has already forgiven you but you need to make the call!

Faith is the key to the Door, our King and Savior……..

Repentance opens the Door into all that He has died to give you…….Now live in Him and be born again!

You start a reborn life in God, with your spirit alive which was dead. You then mature by His Spirit sanctifying your house so to speak…….for His dwelling place…… Changing your love to Him in all things as maturing sons and daughters of God shall be………

The adventures to start as you by faith repent to God….. Come on and join the Team! We have been waiting for you!

Merry Christmas!!!

Celebrate God’s disturbing the sound of silence.

God’s grace is sufficient. The strength of God will carry us through!

God bless you all and have a great Christmas in Him and a greater New Year in Him to the glory of the Father because of our great King and His amazing grace.

Amen!

Selah!!!

For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe, ( 1 Thess 2: 13).

That you would walk worthy of God who calls you into His kingdom and glory, ( 1 Thess 2:12).

Those who have ears to hear, let them hear.

SELAH!

I was thinking of the courage and hunger that was instilled in Abraham to go to a land where he never had been. Follow God who he had not known.

Abraham was a Chaldean and was raised with false gods…… I guess he might have suspected they were false because there was no answer to any dilemmas he or his family or people were always subjected.

But he heard the Voice that penetrates to the heart of man and changes his life forever……. A disclaimer: if he listens.

So he heard the Voice of God which quiets all other voices. Then to be told to leave all behind. He was to go where he had never been. This step in faith must have been exhilarating even as he was subjected to his people calling him crazy. He turned a deaf ear to the noise and went anyway.

In any tension or chaos, the Voice of God permeates beyond our senses to deep, calling the deep in us to Him…… Disclaimer: if we turn and obey.

As it is written many are called but few are chosen…….The Voice of God goes out and all of creation speaks of His glory. Many are called to hear……..Does the scripture mean but few are chosen to draw near? Just thinking out loud.

But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep, to him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and he leads them out.

And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice, ( John 10:2-4).

We have been given grace upon grace to venture out and in His realm where we have never been……. As these past days have turned into a year,,……. we have been given an opportunity to leave the ways and means of modern methods of Christianity……to really learn of Him.

Again disclaimer: if we choose to hear and follow His lead.

Have we allowed the past days of shaking to shake us out of our traditions and religion? Have we bravely turned off our comfortable rituals to sit before Him and wait?

Disclaimer: or just return to our normal. Then to miss His turn to climb into a new dimension to be revealed in Him? Go to His known but we rather stay at our known?

Are we willing to venture out as Abraham, Noah and David and not to forget Paul ?

Have we learned to gain Christ yet? Have we allowed Him first place or are we still praying to get Him to change what we want on our list?

I have to ask—- God does not change so then who should be changing ?

It is easy to do the works and programs of the church. Listen to the worship we are used to in the western world. But in our comfort, are we really being stretched in our faith to go where we have never been before in Him?

Zoom calls and conferences are back in session as normal…….Not that they are bad, but may the time be small in comparison to our fellowship and communion with God. The holy Trinity want our eyes and ears to be fixed on Them,

My question is were not the conferences and calls maybe the path that got us here to begin with? Getting on with the crowd and not alone with the One who knows the end from the beginning?

I hear so many people quoting this one or that one, but not many quoting the Words of God …….

All those following people, do you know Jesus better than those you follow?

There are many prayer calls, which is good……. but we must not forget the most important. Fellowship with our God in communion . Each one in our prayer closet. One on one with our King.

The cross of Jesus zoomed our freedom to an open heaven and into fellowship….. He has set up His table. Feasting with our God should be priority,,,,,, I also believe when He is first, everything falls into place because our spirit is hearing and being led by Him in His very precise and clear way.

There is no show. No one watching but the One who is waiting for His child to come sit at His feet and give Him our ear,

If all is gone and all we have is Him….. We have everything we need to venture where He has called us to walk in Him today and tomorrow.

Life in Christ is difficult but very simple. When the props of feel good and doing something important are gone and we are left with Him alone……

Rejoice!!

Can we handle that? Or will we try to get to a place of comfort? By His way, He is to be our only comfort…….. One who has lightnings and thunderings surrounding His throne is to be our Comfort and Refuge.

Why? Because He has loved us with an everlasting love—– always.

God bless the one who is comforted by the Awesome One.

When all we have is Him…….

What then do we do? Rejoice!!! His will is being done! We must be brought into Him and then He leads us in Him by Him and for Him.

He is our needful thing. He is to be our Main Thing and One Thing.

All else is smoke and mirrors. Sorry for my bluntness but it is. If it was not then all would remain after the shakings of the Lord. His shakings are to make sure we are in His kingdom and not dependent on false foundations.

Read Hebrews 13:25-29, See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, how much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, whose voice then the shook the earth; but now has promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven.

Now this, Yet once more, indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of the things which are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire.

We are wise to take in His chastisement. Stop to hear and listen to Him.

Be still and quiet for I AM will be exalted.

Waiting on our Lord, we are strengthened……. We rest and hear……..Resurrected life is imparted……

Your eyes will see the King in His beauty; They will see the land that is far off, ( Isaiah 33:17.)

I am learning to dance upon the dry clouds. I am kneeling to hear His voice and leading of His Spirit. No crowds.

Allowing Him to shake what can be shaken……..

Lord, please reveal to me all that is not You. Show me the holes in my belief system, so I may throw the rags away and increase my leaning in You.

It has taken quiet a long time, almost a year, to not feel guilty for not being on prayer calls and attending conferences……. I attended one. Can not do it anymore……

There has to be more of Him. All these are good but they are not the answer. If they were we would not be praying for a revival.

We are in a crisis, beloved. We should be put into ICU. We are in need of a hook up to an IV filled with His Word. Then patience and peace which is met and married in His presence would be oozing from us.

Are our prayers to strive to save something which by His hand we want done?——-Or is it after we have sat at His table and dined and are overflowing with the Word of Life. We bring to His attention in thanksgiving all that He has been doing in strengthening His beloved today.

I wonder if all of us, His beloved, spent time in communion with Him as our One thing….. What would happen? When He is the One we are really wanting, then He knows His beloved is faithful to Him, no matter what may be or not be. Our love is His. His heart is satisfied…..He has a people after His own heart.

Psalm 24:3-6 states: Who may ascend to into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, nor sworn deceitfully.

He shall receive blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of His salvation. This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him, who seek His face. Selah!

Maybe like Abraham, He could be calling us to venture out in a new place because He is calling us higher and wider and deeper than we have ever gone; where the unknowns are known and the knowns are unknown. The last shall be first and the first shall be last. Where He is the center and all else falls void in His presence. The center of our hearts are filled of Him and made the inside to be outside……. The up standing to down kneeling and the down kneeling to up lifting hands to the Highest of all….. The Lord God Almighty who was and is and is to come…………. Holy, Holy and Holy to Him who is as no other!

Sort of like Moses going up into the cloud for days………..We do not know what we will come back with but it is whom will be indwelling in us as our face is revealing the Light of the world shining and beckoning all to come.

My question to my family, are you willing to let go of all we know to venture with Him in His next step. He says He leads us out……..

Or do we stay where we are because it is known and comfortable? Now in reality to venture out in Christ means we venture into Him…….. Then He leads us to the next…….unknown reality of the Living God, Beloved, He will make Himself known to those who want His house to be theirs.

Paul ventured many places in Christ as he was in prison…….. Allow God to make you into a visionary……

It is hard to drop the conferences when you have a kingdom to support. It is hard to drop the prayer calls when you are after the bigness of the calls and who is being heard…..

It is hard to allow all to die but gain Christ.

I am hungry after one thing. Him and Him alone…… Dancing on the dry clouds is a new place. Somewhat a dangerous place because the Truth is revealed in a place where all there is …… is Jesus. He is sooo large because only He is in charge…..

After all, His kingdom will not be shaken and will always remain…….. We act in wisdom, where our footing is secure on the Rock because we do the Word and not only hearers……. We know He is watching and waiting…… His look and gaze at us is supreme to man’s………. intentions and agendas.

Such a King, who gave us His all, is now asking to let go and grab Him to apprehend His all that He died to give us.

A man lived in this grass hut all his life. He tended and looked after it…….. but a King that reigned over the land came to the man. The King bid him to leave it and come to His kingdom to dine and sup with Him in His inheritance……. The man could not leave his hut and let the King go by.

The what if’s kicked in and closed his door on the impossible.

Everyone is thinking they are doing God’s will, right? Can we stop from our routine and from doing the same thing, to see if He is the reason for our pursuit. We must admit to ourselves, our work is not important if it is not His bidding, but ours.

Check for a heart pulse- God’s or ours.

I truly believe if we stop and ask to dance upon the dry clouds with Him. we will be so immersed in Christ and His love, the things that are to be shaken will fall as we remain in the eternal and are given the sight to see that the possibilities in Him are endless………..if we can let go and gain Christ as written.

I keep dancing after my blog was blacklisted as now I am whitelisted…… Whatever that means!

The truth remains and all else shall fall in the void of wasted.

Let’s dance with My King and all that is spoken is as a secret but heaven invades earth as the King says peace be still. Beloved, this is not a dream.

I am not saying prayer and intercession is to stop at all. However, I see Him sitting as the requests come in to the bowl but many do not have a sit down and be with Him effect…….. This should not be.

As communion with out God must be stronger and more intense than our requests from our heart……. Do we not always kiss the King?

Prayer is now the buzz word BUT actually the One we pray to is our focus.

Communion in Him and freedom to see all that can be takes on reality…… His presence in us is our key…… Prayer is another word to talk, commune, laugh, instruct, share and request. A RELATIONSHIP.

I know if I read a devotional daily to my husband—— Someone else’s thoughts and intent instead of my own….. My husband would get bored and ask- what about you? What do you think and see and know and feel about me?

I recall when Jesus and the crew were walking and saying this person and that one were saying who Jesus was. The Savior was not satisfied. Those statements of others were not good enough, He turned to them and asked each one…… I can imagine the piercing eyes of Truth stabbing their heart as He asked, WHO DO YOU SAY I AM?

This God wants to be known, He wants us to tell Him how great He is and how we know Him…… Our heart to His must be in His ears. He must see how He melts our heart with His love…….

After all, He has loved us with an everlasting love………

There was a time that I was on five prayer calls a day…… I was exhausted. Too many words and not His. I sensed I was starving and missing My King……. He keeps speaking if we are engaged in His Spirit or not…….. I do not want to miss His Words, His sighs and His laughs and His groans…….Not a thing do I want to miss of my King.

His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. …..Well, He is not going to change, I draw near again by His grace.

Relationship………is the price He paid for us this day. We must sit at His feet and hear all He is saying for it is life and life abundant and the answer to our needs. He has become all to us, if we chose to apprehend Him . We must receive all of Him.

His chastisement is mercy for us to stop. See where He is. He always leads us out and in as to where His will is for us, If we are on our own, draw near as we are given the grace,

Do you not see how the King is calling you into a new place? The plateau has served it’s purpose, but up is where His foot prints are left as breadcrumbs to His glory. The vision of our eyes have been blocked, He alone has the view to unlock. Come let us follow the bread crumbs that lead us into the fullness of His next plateau of Presence.

The prayers of His people, He has heard, though they are many, but His eyes are pondering over there and all of us are looking here. He requests our vision turn to His. Though He is closer than our breath, His Voice has been muted to the rest, His request of silence and peace to those who are hammering in prayer. Be still and know I AM the King and hold those who stand against Me in derision.

Come and walk with Me and hear My Voice again. Block those who knock and never lead to the quiet still waters…… Come to eat at the table that is prepared for you in the presence of our enemies. Come and enjoy I AM as I AM longs to enjoy your fellowship.

The battle is Mine. I AM has it all in My hand. Faith in I AM reveals the peace in your heart…… Stay still and watch the Salvation of your Lord. Come and walk where many do not venture…… to leave their known to My known…… Take pleasure in Your King as I AM delight in the pleasure of your gaze unto I AM. The faith is My children’s way, for they never walk by sight. They hear Me speak and await in awe.

Come up higher! The air is stronger. Fill your lungs with the Breath of I AM.

Come and receive My impact for the next day. Pray to Me…… Come talk to Me. I know the End from the Beginning for I AM then and now and forever more….. Come sit before Me. Your cup shall be filled and you will never go away empty of I AM. See the old will pass away as all the new creation rises into the Morningstar.

Be still and sit before I AM while you can…….Breathe Me un to My Day,

SELAH!! SELAH!!

Are you coming? Are you willing?

Say YES! Do not let Him pass by…….Disclaimer: He does not visit but desires complete habitation in our abode!!!

SELAH!! SELAH!!

Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there is no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out from heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying,, Behold the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, God Himself will be with them and be their God, ( Revelation 21:1-3).

And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?

And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said:

‘I will dwell with them and walk among them. I will be their God and they shall be My people.’

Therefore ‘Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you.

I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.’, ( 2 Corinthians 15-18).

The first temple was made by men with specified articles according to God’s plan through Moses. All the sacrifices were animals until the Lamb from God came because of God’s great mercy. He was slain from the foundation of the world….for God and man…..and His name is Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

The first temple was made with hands of men, following the blueprints from God in heaven to King David and passed down to His son, Solomon…….. There was none like it anywhere to match the unmatched God who gave instructions on how it shoud be built.

The second temple was made by the Son of God. We are being made into the spiritual temple of God- as we abide in Him. We are now set apart in Him for ever and ever, if we believe in Jesus Christ and that all God’s Word shall be fulfilled. How you ask?

By the power of His Word.

God from the Beginning wanted to dwell with man and have preeminence in all man’s life.

In the Beginning God wanted to be acknowledged as a great God, the One True Living God…… In almost every book of the Prophets….. You will read this phrase, if it is relating to judgment or if it is relating to renewal and the plans for the New Testament….

The words are—- Then you shall know that I AM the Lord God Almighty.

I double dog dare you to read through the Books of the Prophets…… Count the times that it is written- then they shall know I AM the Lord God Almighty. Do you think He wanted to make a point?

I walk the beach often and today the storm off the northern coast caused large waves by the gusty winds billowing through.

I walked and heard the sound of many waters in my ears and listened…..

The nations are the sound of the many waters speaking of the Lord God Almighty and His Son, Jesus Christ. Know the Son while there is still day for night is approaching.

This temple of God has infiltrated almost all nations speaking the Testimony of the Son……..This mountain of God made by God’ s will, will never cease growing and His government will always increase…….

This Testimony, the sound of many waters is speaking in every tribe, nation and tongue to all who have been given ears to hear. God keeps increasing in us and increasing through us -for He is God and is unstoppable. He will reach the fullness of His Son on the earth. The more the hardness increases, the more He increases. He always turns all things to good. All things…. Amen and amen. Even the hardness of hearts in men.

He who has the voice of the sound of many waters is His beloved speaking through out of His greatness and love and mercy in every nation and tongue…. and tribe……

From the Beginning, there is always a mention of His great mountain that symbolizes Him, the God Almighty and His Son and His people who worship and believe.

Do not be deceived, He is and was and will always be….. His plan was made visible to us in the First Covenant with His people.

A spiritual temple made of His own who live by His name in every nation standing alone to make Him known throughout the world.

This plan of God has not changed, only increased as the peoples and nations have increased….. He is known and His voice of many waters is being carried by His Spirit in His people who know their God and His Son, Jesus Christ….. These ones call on Abba, Abba as their belief echoes through the years of their love for Him and their need of Him……. The ages of generations carry His Testimony through time…… Right on into the next age.

So who’s temple are you?

We have temples or churches to go to worship as a group….. but there is more to the Second Covenant….. The sacrifice was made once and for all….. for us….. But, we also are made a living sacrifice as Roman 12 states. We live His Testimony as a voice of one crying in the wilderness to alert all to the Voice they should and can hear if they turn to Him.

The blood shed for you and me belongs to the King of all kings….. Do you not see?….. The remissions of sin is only by the shedding of blood. And let us double take on whose blood was shed for us? The sinless spotless Lamb of God and Lion of God.

His voice is and was and always will be, for He is the Word of God inside His believers….. That is His temple- you and me…. if we have His Spirit, Holy Spirit living within……

Whose temple are you?

Daniel spoke in chapter 9:20, Now while I was speaking and praying, and confessing my sins and the sins of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the Lord my God for the holy mountain of my God.

Interesting how Daniel spoke of the holy mountain of my God……..God’s plan was and is and always will be.

In Matthew 25:1, I noticed something that perked my ears up: Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom…….

There were five wise who kept the oil in their lamps and five foolish who took no oil in their lamps…..

Verse 6, speaks: And at midnight a cry was heard: Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet Him. Then all the virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out…… But the wise answered, saying no, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding, and the door was shut.

Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, Lord, Lord open to us!

But he answered and said, Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.

HALT RIGHT THERE !!

That is the sentence that stunned me….. All of them knew Him, didn’t they? But without His Spirit or oil, He did not recognize them…….. Whose temple are you? The put off the needful thing- Him and listening to His Spirit.

Now the other thing to meditate on is this……

Daniel 12:10-12: Many shall be purified made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand. And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days.

Blessed is he who waits and comes to the one thousand and three hundred and thirty five days.

So if the Lord is the Sacrifice of all sacrifices, and His believers make their lives a living sacrifice unto God……. And if the temple was in Jerusalem ……. but now, His temple is within us, as we are being built into a spiritual temple for One True Living God.. as written in Ephesians chapter 2:19-22:

Now therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in who, you are also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

What does this mean…….?

As written 1 Corinthians 6:15-20: Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not.

Or do you no know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For ‘ the two’, He says, ‘ shall become one flesh’. But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.

Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.

Or do you not know that your body is the temple of Holy Spirit that is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit which is God’s.

Now as I mentioned in previous blogs, if we are friends with the world we are also in enmity with God as written in James….. If we are one with the world and just give words to God but no heart…… We are also partaking of the harlot….

How do we know? Does Jesus Christ know you? Is there fellowship with Him? Is there abiding in His Word? Is there a seeking heart for Him and His Voice…… Are you known as a troubler of the lost? Disturbing them in their lost state. Bringing the Truth of Jesus Christ to their minds? Awakening what was dead to life by bringing His presence of Light to darkness?

Most all, we shall always know that when we call Him, He always answers….. Maybe the answer is not what we want but He answers. He is faithful and strong to lean into and rely on……. Sometimes, I think He chuckles at us, and all the times we call on His name for help……Circumstances He allows, so we may see our great need for our One True Living God, the Lord God Almighty……. Be the ones that He knows now.

For it is written, then they shall know I AM the Lord God Almighty….. And we answer, Lord God, You who dwell in the heavens have also desired to live in us and be with us…….. You are our delight and comfort. We are Your temple….. A place to lay Your head and be desired above all. Even above all Your gifts, without Your voice speaking to us……Nothing competes in this life with hearing Your gentle Voice in the stillness of the chaos of the storms.

The most important thing in our life, is to know our God and His Son…….And for Him to know His house is ours. We are His beloved and He is ours.

Do not be deceived- He is a God of His Word and does not lie as man…… You cannot prove a lie, but you can prove the liars. God does not lie as man….. He is faithful and there will be not a Word that is not fulfilled spoken by Him. All else shall perish but His Word will stand. That is written in the Bible- go find it if you do not know this.

Certainly we are not living in the time of Judges, right? Where every man did what was right in his own eyes? Certainly, we have learned the fear of the Lord……. If we have not, I can guarantee, we will.

As I was walking by the big immense ocean today kicking up its heels as it was consuming the beach, I thought this is just an ocean and people feared for the beach was empty……..Is not our God a consuming fire? He should be given honor and glory as we rise in the morning and thanking Him for His great faithfulness before we shut our eyes at night, right? What about in between as I ask Him to make sure and show Himself strong on my behalf……. Don’t you see me looking towards You to show up and show off.?…. Let Your enemies see Your greatness. Let them see Your Love remove the scales from their eyes and heart, My Lord.

This is how we see the fulfillment of Habakkuk 2:14: For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.

This precious Holy Spirit of glory resting in our earthen vessels, gathering together in every nation, tribe and tongue to His glory. Each one of us gathering in our knowledge of experience of the height and depth, the width and length of His great love. Know Him!

Guess what if you do not, He loves you so much, He will create circumstance where we have to look up?

Some follow others to an extent that is sort of whacky……… Why follow mere men? The ones you follow or persecute….. Do you know them better then Jesus Christ?……. Change your focus while it is dusk and you can…..Let Him, the King of glory, be your focus.

Father, You are a great, great Father and God. We love You and thank You for all our breath and sorrows and smiles. We thank You that we are alive to breath Yah in and Weh out….. You are our breath and life…..Thank You for Your protection over us and those who serve to protect others in the land. Thank You for Your justice in the heart of men and government. I thank You that they will always step up and do what is right in Your eyes, by faith we ask their eyes be open to You this day.

Keep us close by circumstance and trials and blessings, for in all, we need You. For in You is our life, strength and sustenance.

Thank You for Your Word that we abide in us as we are being perfected in Jesus Christ, our hidden place….. Each circumstance that comes our way is strategically set for us to know and live by You completely…. Each day is a gift My Father, and we thank You for it is another day of breathing the knowledge of you within us as we grow greatly into the Tree of Life that produces such good fruit of and by My King.

Thank You and we love You. Hear our heart song of love toward You in our secret place in our King and the melody touch the hearts that You have called.

Amen!

Selah!

Children,

Do you see the sun in full shining? No, you see the effects of the sun. Do you see sin? No, you may be seeing the effects of sin in this world or even in your own life…… Do you see life? Not in itself, but you see the effects of life…. In the life of a newborn or a flower or a smile from a stranger….. You may see Me in their eyes. Yet, you may see another that effects you to send a prayer My way.

I have given men the power to choose life or death….. If You choose Me, You will live life in Me abundantly….. If you choose life without Me, death will reign…… It is not My will that any should perish but you do have that choice. You may choose to live life as you see right….. My question to you is….. what if your neighbor does his or her life in Me? Is that wrong or right? Do you have the right to try to stop their choice? Do you not know they are apart of Me? What you do to My brethren- you are doing to Me.

Act in wisdom. For your choice of death and not life in Me, will come knocking at your door. Then who will be your advocate?

See the bloody path of My death for you to have life in Me. See I AM not in the tomb. Death could not stop God from rising for My own…… I AM alive and want to be alive in You. Raise you from the dead is My plan! My scars are for your healing….. There are My followers who bring My healing to others. Seek and ask, I AM shall lead you to My children…… If any are of need of healing- ask…… I AM always exalt the humble and debase the proud.

Come to Me, while the sun is setting, for many abominations are rising to fall in this day…..

Know the season and as My little stone has spoken keep your white boots on as you keep to the path of the snow…. Learn of My great love. Nothing too high or too deep can interfere with My love towards you….. Nothing from east to the west and all the lengths of the universe of galaxies will separate Me nor take My beloved from My hand.

Trust Me.

Fear not and believe in Me……

I AM forever and will never let you go….. As We may go from a door through to another…. I AM there. See My smile and take hold of My outstretched hand….. Know the grip is forever…… My Word abides forever within My own……Growing and increasing. As My Word is in you, you become My voice………Whatever is in your heart flows from your mouth…… Hear My Voice through the many waters. Hear My children speak My heart.

Whose temple are you? Do you listen? Do you speak? Meet Me in the silence of the night or the brightness of the day. I AM here and ready to become all in your being.

As was before to My enemies, will be again and again tomorrow. Know Me and know the Truth that sets you free….. I AM the Son of God. See, who I AM has freed is free indeed. Rest your selves in I AM and be refreshed for the journey is long and though I AM tarries…. In a breath, I AM.

Selah!! Selah!!
