Return to Prayer!!

An urgent message given to Clare, Still Small Voice.  See the message here... Return to Prayer Now!!! - Urgent Warning!!!

Don't Stop Believing!

Following is a repost from March, 2016.  I feel this post is especially for NOW...

Believe - accept something as true.  Feel sure of the truth.  Trust, have confidence in.

Film synopsis of "Polar Express"... An inspiring adventure based on the beloved children's book by Chris Van Allsburg.  When a doubting young boy takes an extraordinary train ride to the North Pole, he embarks on a journey of self discovery that shows him that the wonder of life never fades for those who Believe.

I've always loved the movie "Polar Express".  I love the message it brings.  We've played the video around here many times.

Unbelief - inability or refusal to accept that something is true or real, lack of faith in something.

Mark 9:24 - "Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, "I believe; help my unbelief!"

What else does the bible say about Believing...

Romans 15:13 -" May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope."

In the movie, the boy stopped believing in Santa and while at the North Pole he could not hear the bell ring, while those who did believe could.  This bothered him.  By the end of the movie he believes and can hear the beautiful sound of the bell.  Ironically, his parents could not... they thought the bell was broken.

Last night I was wondering what I would post about next.  So, I was looking in my journal and I came across a couple entries on Believing...

Journal entry February 25, 2014 - "I watched a video today that spoke of the spirit of doubt and self pity.  I have been doubting.  At the end of the video this lady mentions, Polar Express and how with childlike faith believe and hear the bells ringing.  I've always been drawn to the movie Polar Express.  Now, what is really strange... Jackie gets home from school.  I take care of her needs then lay on the couch for some rest.  Meanwhile, Jackie sits next to me and begins ringing loudly this bell on a string exactly like the bell on Polar Express!  She received this bell at Christmas from school and I haven't seen this bell laying around anywhere since Christmas.  Not a coincidence!  I am so sorry Father for doubting and for any self pity!  Please forgive me!"
End of entry.

Another Journal entry later that same day...

Journal Entry February 25, 2014 - Tonight I picked Brooke up from CCD.  As soon as she gets into the car she starts singing... "Don't stop believin', hold on!  Don't stop believin' hold on!"  She then says... "That song has been stuck in my head all day.  Mrs. Schumacher kept singing it to us today before a big test we had to take."  Then she says... "Mom, don't stop believing like the song says.  Don't stop believing!"

Brooke knew nothing about what happened today with my doubting and Jackie's bell ringing. So, as I'm pulling into the driveway, I'm thinking I know that song.  Journey sings it.  When in the house, I brought up the song for Brooke, and she confirmed it.".  End of entry.

Last night after reading these entries, I didn't do anything with them, I just went to bed.  Interestingly, the next morning after waking, I sat down in my recliner and on Fox News is a story about two police officers that had a video go viral.  They showed the video.  These two police officers were in their police car singing loudly the song by Journey, "Don't Stop Believin'" real loud while the person behind the bars in the back seat is getting annoyed.  They said they do it to give the person they just picked up some encouragement.

Just the night before, I'm reading a journal entry about "Don't Stop Believin'" and the next morning I see the above story on Fox News.  What's the chances of that!  I no longer questioned what I should post.  I took this as a confirmation.

Hebrews 11:6 -"And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who seek Him."

To have faith we must believe.  Without it we cannot please Him.  I want to please Him.

I once ran across a quote that really struck me...

 "If you believe, it's true for you.  If you don't believe, it's not true for you."

 What a thought!  But, is it really that simple?  I think it is.  You see, Jackie sat next to me that day ringing that bell.  The ray of hope here is... 

I heard it.  

Believing brings hope.  

I choose to believe.

Jesus...

This is a repost of a poem I made up for Jesus back in April, 2016.  I felt it so appropriate for right now...

Jesus, I need You

I need You by my side

Everywhere I look

There is something not right

Deep in my heart

I earnestly long

for the day we all are singing

our victory song

I wait eagerly for the day of peace 

for the day when all evil's cease

When love abounds

when love can be found 

for it is all around

Jesus I need You

I need Your assurance

For the upcoming days

I need Your strength and endurance

Jesus, I need You

I seek your nearness

this world gets... 

scarier by the minute

Jesus, I need You

I need You by my side

to make what's so wrong

something so right

deep in my heart I earnestly long

for the day when we are all singing

our victory song

Jesus, I need You

I need to hear You say

That soon so soon

everything will be okay

in a world where you can't let 

your children freely play

for fear of the evil 

that right now rules the day

Jesus, the world needs You

It is sick and weary

only You can save us

from it's fury

Jesus, we need You, we need You near

Jesus, we need You, we need you here!

With Love,
Lori

Tick Tock

Last night I asked the Lord for revelation on what I should name my next post.  I heard in my spirit two words... "Tick, Tock."

I didn't know where to go from there.  That was all I heard.  So today I'm pulling out of my draft box what I  started typing last night and here it is...

 "Recently I saw a quote... "Time is precious so waste it wisely."

Wasting time... we do it so eloquently, don't we?  There's no time to waste, but we still do.  Where does the time go?  Sometimes we want time to fly to get quickly where we are going.  But where is that?  Do we really know?  

As I am typing this on the news I hear...  "Alan Thicke dies today at the age of 69 while playing hockey with his son."  The announcer commented... "Alan Thicke... gone too soon."

Alan's time here on earth is truly gone.  Where did his "time" go?

We spend so much time waiting, wondering, anticipating something... but what?   I think we all have experienced this."  End of Draft Post

There was more in the draft post, but it was a draft and I was deleting and adding searching for where I was going with it.  But the thoughts on my mind were... Time, and sometimes wasting time thinking too much about the future that we somehow really miss the present.  I was pondering how we really need to try to "open" the present and just stay there as long as we can.  I thought how time flies.  And I just kept looking at this clock on google images...

And also this one...

I was drawn to them not really knowing why.  "Time" was definitely on my mind, especially "lost" time and living in the "now" and I didn't really understand why.  Then this morning I came upon a new post by Lana Vawser.  And it answered my wondering.  Here's an excerpt...

"I then see Jesus walk over to a clock, the very clock that many of God's people had been looking at with such deep grief, anxiety, sadness over "time that was lost".  I saw Him blow on the clock and suddenly the hands on the clock came alive".  He touched the hands of the clock and began to move them back.  I watched as "time was going backwards".  The sense surrounded me how the Lord is completely Outside Time!!!!  I knew so deep in my spirit, He was turning "Dark Nights" into Day!

"As He moved the hands He turned and looked at His people, with a Sparkle in His eye", with such joy and excitement, He spoke "I am Redeeming Time!!!!  Where you feel like time was lost, where the enemy has caused you to face so much torment in a season, where you feel like you did not "get out of a season" what I had for you, I am Now Redeeming Time!!!!"

See Lana's entire post here... I Had a Vision Where I Saw Jesus Redeeming Time For His People!!!!

Like I said before, we spend so much time waiting, wondering, anticipating something... but what?  I surmise it's time to stop, live for Now and say... 

But God!

It's no coincidence that Lana had this message up today.  With God there are no coincidences!

God Is Redeeming Time!

God Bless Everyone!

Deliver Us From Evil

This is a repost from March, 2016 because I feel it is needed at this late hour...

It was impressed upon me to pray the St. Michael Chaplet daily and also to pray the St. Michael Long Prayer. I've done this while spraying Holy Water with Blessed Salt around my house.  Below is the long prayer...

 Prayer to Purify and Protect Your Home

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

 Most glorious Prince of the heavenly armies, Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in our battle against principalities and powers, against spirits of wickedness in the high places. Come to the assistance of man whom God has created to His likeness and whom He has redeemed at a great price from the tyranny of the devil. Holy church venerates Thee as Her guardian and protector, to Thee, the Lord has entrusted the souls of the redeemed to be  lead into heaven. Pray, therefore, the God of peace to crush satan beneath our feet, that he may no longer retain men captive and do injury to the church. Offer our prayers to the Most High, that without delay they may draw His mercy down upon us, take hold of the dragon, the old serpent, which is the devil and satan, bind him and cast him into the bottomless pit so that he may no longer seduce the nations.

 Exorcism prayer to purify and protect your home and family, business, or places you desire.

 In the name of Jesus Christ our God and Lord, strengthened by the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God, blessed Saint Michael the archangel, of the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul and all the Saints, and powerful in the Holy authority of our ministry, we confidently undertake to repulse the attacks and deceits of the devil.

God arises, His enemies are scattered and those who hate Him fully before Him. As smoke is driven away, so are they driven, as wax melts before the fire, so the wicked perish at the presence of God.

Behold the cross of the Lord, flee bands of enemies.
He has conquered, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the offspring of David.
May Thy mercy, Lord, descend upon us.
As great as our hope in Thee.

We drive you from us, whoever you may be, unclean spirits, all satanic posers, all infernal invaders, all wicked legions, assemblies and sects, in the Name and by the power of Our Lord Jesus Christ, may you be snatched away and driven from the Church of God and from the souls made to the Image and likeness of God and redeemed by the Precious Blood of the Divine Lamb. Most cunning serpent, you shall no more dare to deceive the human race, persecute the Church, torment God's elect and sift them as wheat. The Most High God commands you, He with whom, in your great insolence, you still claim to be equal.

 He who wants all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth, God the Father commands you. God the Son commands you. God the Holy Spirit commands you. Christ, God's word made flesh, commands you. He who to save our race outdone through your envy, humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death, He who has build his Church on the firm rock and declared that the gates of hell shall not prevail against Her, because He will do well with Her, all days even to the end of the world. The sacred Sign of the Cross commands you, as does also the power of the mysteries of the Christian Faith. The glorious Mother of God, the Virgin Mary, commands you, She who by Her humility and from the first moment of her Immaculate Conception, crushed your proud head. The faith of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul and the other Apostles commands you. The blood of the Martyrs and the pious intercession of all the Saints command you.

The cursed dragon, and you, diabolical legions, we adjure you by the living God, by the true God, by the holy God, by the God who so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that every soul believing in Him might not perish but have life everlasting, stop deceiving man and pouring out to him the poison of eternal damnation, stop harming the Church and hindering Her liberty. Begone, satan, inventor and master of all deceit, enemy of man's salvation. Give place to Christ in Whom you  have found none of your works, give place to the one, Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church acquired by Christ at the price of His Blood. Stoop beneath the all powerful Hand of God, tremble and flee when we invoke the Holy and terrible name of Jesus, this name which causes hell to tremble, this name to which the virtues, powers and dominations of Heaven are humbly submissive, this Name which the Cherubim and Seraphim pray unceasingly repeating, Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord, the God of armies.

 Oh Lord, hear my prayer.
 And let my cry come onto Thee. May the Lord be with thee. And with Thy Spirit.

 Let us pray, God of Heaven, God of Earth, God of Angels, God of Archangels, God of the Patriarchs, God of Prophets, God of Apostles, God of Martyrs, God of Confessors, God of Virgins, God who has power to give life after death and rest after work because there is no other god then Thee, and there can be no other, for though art the creator of all things, visible and invisible, who's reign there shall be no end. We humbly prostrate ourselves before the Glorious Majesty, and we beseech Thee to deliver us by the high-power from all the tyranny of the infernal spirits, from their snares, their lies and they're furious wickedness, deign, O Lord, to grant us Thy powerful protection and to keep us safe and sound. We beseech Thee through Jesus Christ Our Lord, Amen.

From the snares of the devil, deliver us, O Lord. That Thy Church and home may serve Thee in peace and liberty, we beseech Thee to hear us.

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and you though, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God cast into hell satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

 Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us. (say three times)

 Holy water and or salt is sprinkled in the place where we may be or throughout the entire prayer.
