Seeds, Scattered and Sown

The other night we were in the garden marveling at the abundance from God.  As we picked and picked dad looking at it all exclaims...

"It's harvest time!"

Last night we were at a family event and my mother-in-law was commenting on her poison ivy rash she got from picking weeds.  My brother-in-law, Joe commented, "Why are you always picking weeds?  Stop picking weeds!"  She then said,

"I can't, because I hate them!"  

Then Joe went on to tell about someone he knew that had a garden and he never picked the weeds.  He always would let the weeds grow right along with the crop.  The man claimed the weeds helped shade the crop and keep the ground loose, and picking time he just picked his crop right out of the weeds.  

Wow, I thought in our garden dad would never allow that.  He's right on top of those weeds! (smile)

While at church this morning I was pleasingly surprised that the Gospel reading was the Parable of the Weeds...

Jesus told them another parable:  "The Kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.  But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away.  When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.

"The owner's servants came to him and said, 'Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field?  Where then did the weeds come from?

"An enemy did this", he replied.

"The servants asked him, "Do you want us to go and pull them up?"

"No.' he answered, 'because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them.  Let both grow together until the harvest.  At that time, I will tell the harvesters : First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring them into my barn."

Matthew 13:24-30

Here is a quote today written in our church bulletin, by our Pastor...

"Today, as we pray that we might withstand the onslaught of evil against us, we also pray that we might fight to eliminate evil in our lives.  With confidence, with hope, we realize the Lord who sees all will in the wisdom of His time remove the weeds from the wheat."

Agneschoo

Praise God!

Our Anchor

My son and daughter-in-law contacted us the other day to let us know that they were making up t-shirts and were taking orders.  The t-shirts were "sky" blue just like in my dream, a beautiful color!

They are newly married and bought a home on a lake.  So they designed these t-shirts and on the front of the shirts there is an emblem which is an anchor.  For some reason I kept looking at the anchor thinking "Anchor, an anchor... there is something about this."

On the back of the shirt are the words "No wake at the Lake".

To my surprise, yesterday I randomly clicked on a Rhema word and it was this...

"A soul who trusts in the Lord and places all it's hope in Him has nothing to fear.  The enemy of our salvation is always around us to snatch from our hearts the anchor that is to lead us to salvation, by which I mean trust in God our Father.  Let us keep a firm hold on this anchor and not relinquish it for a single minute."

Another coincidence... nope.  God is an Awesome God!

Also last night Claire from "Small Still Voice" put up a message regarding distressed people that are coming into some of our lives that cause chaos.

Over the past year we have had such a soul come into our lives and he is described in this message to a Tee!  We have kept our distance lately, however, yesterday issues once again popped into our lives regarding him.  I threw up my hands to the Lord and said...

"What Lord do you do with someone like this?"  And, I heard in my spirit... 

"Pray for him"  

I immediately told those around me, he definately needs prayers.  This man does not have that "anchor".  He is always rolling around in the turbulant waves!  It's a constant storm around him. 

He needs to slow down, stop the wake and set out his anchor!  But, he is not willing and needs many prayers. He has jumped overboard and needs 

a life raft... God!

Then, I again selected a random Rhema word and it was this...

"We must reach the stage where all that the world contains, ceases to exist and God is everything to us.  Now for this to happen, God destroys all our personal affections.  It does not matter what they are.  We may take up some special kind of devotion, a particular pious practice, try to become perfect by following certain paths and seek the guidance of other people.  No matter what it is we attach ourselves to, God will step in and upset our plans so that, instead of peace, we shall find ourselves in the midst of confusion, trouble and folly.  As soon as we say, "I must go this way, I must consult this person, I must act like this."  God at once says the opposite and withdraws His power from those means, which we ourselves have chosen.  So we discover the emptiness of all created things, are forced to turn to God and be content with Him.  How fortunate we are if we understand God's loving strictness and eagerly cooperate with it.  We rise above all that passes away and rest in the unchanging, the infinite..." End

So, in other words... if we "Let Go, Let God" we can safely enter into the...

God Bless!

Hanging on By A String

The other day my mom cried out to Jesus saying...

"I feel like I'm hanging on by a string!"

Then she said oddly the next morning while taking a shower she noticed a string looped with a knot on the end of it on the shower floor.  It should of washed down the drain, but did not.  How odd.  

A coincidence?

Yesterday while I was thinking on this I was standing in the kitchen and on the table top was an Anatomy notebook that belonged to one of my kids.  Oddly enough on the front was a woman hanging in mid-air onto a rope.  I then heard in my spirit...

"No, not by a string, but by a rope... My rope."

A coincidence?

Then, shortly thereafter I'm on my computer and I click on Youtube and there is the following video by John Paul Jackson called Destiny.  I click on it and he talks about coincidences in our lives and a little beyond the 16 minute mark John Paul holding a rope says...

"Hold on to this rope, because there is one thing that you can be sure of... that God won't let go of 

His end."

A coincidence?

And then, just to top it all off, I asked Jesus if I was doing right by Him with all my posts recently and all of the so-called "coincidences" happening to us, and I felt led to open my Every Day In His Presence (by Charles F. Stanley) and I randomly opened to...

"Unusual Circumstances - The Father often uses unusual circumstances to get us to turn our eyes and hearts to Him.  There is no such thing as an accident in the life of a child of God, so we must learn to look for His Presence in every situation that arises." End of excerpt

Coincidence?

I don't think so.

Listen to the below video.  If you do, you will be blessed.

John Paul Jackson

This I know!

Praise God!

"Lord, help me see all the circumstances that arise in a new light.  Make my heart open to what you're trying to do in my life for my good."

A Sheltered Town

Something interesting...

On 7-15-2017, Nicole, Andy and the four grandkids were here and we were in the backyard playing with our new kittens when we saw the neighbor's dog named Shelby.

We hadn't seen Shelby out for a long time and thought she was dead or just didn't live there anymore.

Then we began talking on these following facts which are truly interesting...

When we first moved into this house we had a dog and named it Shelby.  We only had her for around 6 months and gave her away because she was too rambunctious.

The next door neighbor to the left of us got a dog and named it Shelby.  They didn't know we had a dog of that same name years prior.

Then, years later the neighbor to the right of us got a dog and guess what?  Yep, they named it Shelby. They also knew nothing of our dog's name of previous years.

Our daughter Kimberly's best friend in grade school was named Shelby.

Nick's co-worker has a daughter named Shelby.

There are Shelby's all around us!

Now this is beyond strange.  So I felt the need to look up the meaning of the name Shelby and it means... willow farm, a place where willows grow, a sheltered town.  Then I found this on the internet...

Shelby - Origin English - meaning "sheltered town", a willow farm
The definition continues...

Is in awe of the supernatural
A clear thinker that always remains calm
Has strong family ties
Challenges all obstacles in her way
Always gets the job done
Her goodness knows no limit
One who holds the key to success
A woman of boundless energy

These qualities listed here for the name Shelby, would be awesome qualities for a "sheltered town" or "refuge".  (wink)

I then began investigating further...

I looked up the Willow tree and found places named The Willow Place.  They were places where people can go for healing of all sorts.  It's a place of comfort and rest for the weary and afflicted with all kinds of addictions and other physical and mental conditions.  They are places of hope.  A place of refuge.

Is all this a coincidence?

I don't think so.

And... one more tidbit.  The weariness sometimes gets to a person and it feels never ending.  We have been feeling this way and the other day my mother opened her "Jesus Calling" by Sarah Young randomly and written there it spoke of our needing His strength and endurance.  Yes we do!

Oddly enough, on that same day I was wearing a t-shirt I have that has a logo on the front that reads "Strength".  I was at the grocery store and the cashier kept commenting about my t-shirt, where I got it and about the logo on the front.  I found it rather odd and frankly, annoying how she went on and on.  Finally I said "Yes, it says Strength".  And then she added... "Yes, and endurance."

Exactly what mom opened up too... speaking of strength and endurance.

I found all this to be interesting.

A coincidence?

I don't think so.

"It is He that giveth strength to the weary, and increaseth force and might
to them that are not."

Isaias 41:29

Praise God!

Shadow Chaser

"Whoever rests in the shelter of the Most High will rest in
 the shadow of the Almighty."
Psalm 91:1

Yesterday I came upon a book lying on my daughter's desk.  I never remember having this book, but it was an old, discontinued library book that we had acquired probably long ago.  As soon as I saw the title I knew there was something more to it.  The book was not lying there by chance.

"Shadow Chaser" From the Land of Barely There, is a book written by an inspiring writer of children's books, Stephen Cosgrove.  He dedicated the book to Pastor Michael Anderson writing, "When I was afraid and in the dark, Michael lit a candle that illuminated my path."

Here is a synopsis of "Shadow Chaser" by Corinne H. Smith - "Gabriel Groundhog is afraid of shadows and does not want to leave his burrow on Groundhog Day.  He even lashes out at a "bundled bunny" who knocks at the door several times to arouse him.  The creatures of the forest get together and decide that if they can't take Gabriel to his shadow, they will take shadows to Gabriel.  They enter his bedroom and make shadow figures on the wall, showing him that there is nothing to be afraid of.  Together they laugh, and together they emerge into the world."

I knew Holy Spirit was telling me something by this.  What came to mind was on August 21, 2017 we will have across the United States a total eclipse of the sun. Which, of course casts a shadow. I came across what are called "Eclipse Chasers", who are people who travel the world chasing after total eclipses.  I feel this eclipse is significant.  Later I randomly clicked on this Rhema word...

"Take courage and be not afraid."

But, this morning I randomly clicked on a Rhema word and it was this...

"Because you have the Lord for your refuge; you have made your Most High your stronghold... no evil shall befall you, nor affliction come near your tent, for to His angels He has given the command about you that they guard you in all your ways."

I looked up where this Rhema word was based from in the bible and it is Psalm 91...

"Whoever rests in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.  I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in Whom I trust.  Surely He will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence.  He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness will be your 

shield and rampart."

Psalm 91:1-4

Around a week ago I had a very vivid and brief dream.  I remember seeing Nicole and Andy and the grandkids here in our kitchen talking.  I was looking at my small Christmas tree that I put in my kitchen each year and was frustrated because the Christmas lights would not work.  Hmmm.

I don't know if that snippet of a dream means anything, but this I do know...

"Take courage and be not afraid."

What have I taken from all this?  That... Yes, we are Shadow Chasers, chasing after the Shadow of the Almighty.  He is our refuge and our fortress, our God in Whom we trust!

After putting this post together, I asked Jesus about it and sensed in my spirit... 

"Job well done.  Thank you for taking the time and listening to Me.  Now put your finishing touches on it and push "Publish".  I have more for you 

so stay tuned."

Then here is a snippet of what I immediately opened to from "Jesus Calling" by Sarah Young...

Pg. 228 - "Sit quietly in My Presence while I bless you.  Make your mind like a still pool of water, ready to receive whatever thoughts I drop into it."

And this from Psalm 84...

"Wilt Thou be angry with us forever or wilt Thou extend thy wrath from generation to generation:  Thou wilt turn, O God and bring us to life; and thy people shall rejoice in Thee.  Shew us, O Lord, thy mercy; and grant us Thy salvation.  I will hear what the Lord God will speak in me; for He will speak peace unto His people and unto His saints; and unto them 

that are converted to the Heart."

Psalm 84:5-9

Just prior to publishing this post I pondered on the meaning of Stephen Cosgrove's  book series "From The Land of Barely There."  And this came to mind...

"From the land of barely there, but powerfully Present."

Then I came across this quote from Pete Wilson...

"God is most powerfully Present even when He seems most painfully absent."

So we say... "Yes Lord, we are Shadow Chasers.  Keep us hidden in the safe Shadow of your Wings."

There...

That's my finishing touch.

Praise God!

Revelaciones Marianas

The Mansion Dream...

On 7-17-2017 I had a very vivid dream.  We moved into a large orange-bricked mansion.  We couldn't believe we had this place.  The outside of the mansion was beautiful, but the inside, tho beautiful needed a little work.

Many people were at the house helping on the inside. Some I knew, some I did not.  I saw my daughter, Kimberly, roll up her sleeves to get to work.

I was walking around the house with different people showing them the place.  They were in "awe" of it. They couldn't believe that we got this place.  I told them it basically fell in our laps.  We were in "awe" too.

I was in the kitchen telling everyone that we needed to paint the kitchen the same "sky blue" colored paint that Dana painted in her bedroom.  I went on and on how much I love that "sky blue" color.

I remember going to the refrigerator to get something out for someone to eat.  I looked at the flooring and thought how at my old house I had new flooring, I should miss that, but this flooring is so much better!  I didn't miss anything about our old house.

I'm in the Living Room and my mom is dusting a beautiful book shelf and I find next to me a statue of a horse made out of wicker.  The horses head was hanging loosely.  I pointed it out to mom and mentioned it was broken.  Mom said... "Oh I can fix that."

Next I'm in the backyard and there are three pools of blue water and a beautiful garden and orchard.  I was elated that I had an orchard at this new house, for I had one at my last house.

I was standing next to dad in the orchard and we were picking purple grapes off a tree (not a vine) in the orchard and eating them.  I also saw bushes with grapes on them.  Then that was the end of the dream.

I looked at various places on the internet to find meaning to different objects in dreams.  Following are some possibilities...

House = Your life
Kitchen = Preparation, creating
Grapes = Fertility and wealth
Purple Grapes = Treasure
Pools of water = Purification
Color blue = harmony, revelation and communion with God.  He will tell you step by step what to do.  I loved the color, which means I love revelatory things. (which I do)
Horse = Strength, power, endurance, energy

Interesting dream.  I'm still trying to figure out what it all means. (smile)

"We wait in hope for the Lord; He is our help and our shield."

Psalm 33:20

Regarding Your Children...

Kim Clement Memories

Stay Alert!

We've had many thunderstorms lately with crazy lightening.  Last night just before 3:00 a.m. we were awoke by a huge flash of lightening and thunder so strong that it shook the house.  We knew it was real close to our property.  It knocked out our electricity.  We found lights and started our generator for the sump pump, fridges and freezer.  Electricity was out for 5 1/2 hours.  The next morning we find that the electric pole in front of our house was struck and blew out the transformer.  Only us and one next door neighbor lost electricity.

In the night while dealing with lighting and getting the generator up and running I sensed in my spirit... stay alert, stay alert!

As of late we've had some interesting things happen, especially with jewelry changing colors.

Right along with Jackie's rings turning colors, over the last few weeks my mother had two pair of earrings turn color.  She had a pair of earrings shaped as a flower turn from clear diamond to blue.  She's had these earrings for twenty years and within mere moments they changed.

Then almost a week later she had on a different pair of earrings shaped as a flower and the middle stone turned while she was wearing them from pink to yellow, the color of the shirt she was wearing!

I had started posting about mom's earrings changing a week ago, but kept it in my draft section because I felt there was more to that story.  This morning mom called and said she felt she needed to look up the color yellow.  Oddly enough yesterday after I retrieved the earring post I said I felt I should look it up also.

So, I did and we found many pleasant things about the beautiful color yellow.  Then mom randomly mentions she's been seeing things about an uptick of earthquakes around the Yellowstone super volcano.  As soon as she said that we simultaneously realized... Yellowstone... her earrings' stones turned to yellow stones!  We found that odd.

Then to add to all this as we talked about the uptick of earthquakes around the Yellowstone super volcano, I was on my computer and ran across a man by the name of John Leary.  I hadn't been on his website much lately, but I clicked on his name and saw the most recent messages listed.  I randomly picked the third one down dated Sunday, June 25, 2017 not knowing at all what was in the message.  To my surprise this is how it read...

"Jesus said, My people, you are going to see more natural disasters as punishments in the areas of greatest sin.  This vision is in the San Francisco area and you are seeing a serious earthquake along the San Andreas fault.  There has been little activity in this area, and the stress has been building up over the years.  A severe earthquake in this area could also trigger a possible eruption of the Yellowstone super volcano that could kill a lot of people and send a lot of dust over the crops in the Midwest.  When this happens, it will give little notice.  This again is why you are having your reparation Masses said for those who will die suddenly, without any preparation for their soul's judgment before Me.  Keep praying for these souls so they can be saved from hell." End of excerpt

To see the entire post go here... John Leary - Sunday, June 25, 2017

Obviously this is no coincidence!  We sense that mom's earrings turning from a pink stone to a yellow stone in it's own curious way led us to the Yellowstone super volcano and the seriousness of this matter.  Yep, I was right, there was more to that story!

Click here for a video about Yellowstone's super volcano...Yellowstone Volcano Mark Taylor Prophecy a Sign Will Be Given a Massive Volcanic Eruption

We are being put on "Alert" and last night we feel we had a trial run to refresh our memories on how it is with no electricity.

We sense we are being asked to pray for all the people that could be affected by the dangerous situation at Yellowstone Park.  Let us keep these people in our daily prayers.
