The schedule = the world

This is such an amazing confirmation that the schedule I have made for myself was a trap. That Satan was able to use to attack me, but the Lord is so merciful that He will teach me where I have failed to seek Him out. Please read this:

Parables blog Thursday 16th entry

the Lord is calling His children to repentance, to be seeking His will for us and NOT our own, because the judgements are coming, and he wants His children ready to obey.

Places of refuge...

During the old testament times, there were 6 cities that were considered cities of refuge. If a person killed someone accidently, they could flee to one of those cities to hide from the avenger (a family member out for blood to compensate for the killing.) It was God Himself that said to pick out 6 cities, it was a part of the law. (Number 35:11-15)

The Lord is our refuge. Our trust must be in Him to protect us from those who would attack us.

Psa 62:5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation [is] from him.
Psa 62:6 He only [is] my rock and my salvation: [he is] my defence; I shall not be moved.
Psa 62:7 In God [is] my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, [and] my refuge, [is] in God.
Psa 62:8 Trust in him at all times; [ye] people, pour out your heart before him: God [is] a refuge for us. Selah.

Many times the Lord has led me to certain people and places on this trip. Places where I can truly rest in Him and know that I will not be attacked. There are some things that I am learning on this trip, that I can't post here. I have spent alot of time just driving through the countryside, wondering at the majesty of the mountains and the fields that our Lord has created. Every day that I have been driving, I have seen an eagle flying in circles overhead. It just reminds me that the Lord is always with me, because He promised to never leave me or forsake me.

Hbr 13:5 [Let your] conversation [be] without covetousness; [and be] content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
Hbr 13:6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord [is] my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

Every day I thank the Lord that we have one more day with peace and not judgement.

Peace and safety and the RV park

I woke up to storms on Sunday morning. Thunder and Lightning and rain were outside the van, but I was warm and safe inside. I thought again about whether I was where the Lord wanted me to be. Should I go back on the road, while so close to Tillamook or go back into town? As I contemplate these things and think about God's Word and checking to see if I am harboring some secret sin that I have failed to confess, I realize that I am completely healed. The Lord had healed me and I wasnt even paying attention! How could that have happened? My mouth had been swollen for weeks and my gums were bleeding and every time I ate something the roof of my mouth was torn and my tongue would go to the wound, so much so that I was talking with a lisp. Yet now, looking back, I do not know when I was healed, sometime when I was not paying attention, and I feel horrible for not recognizing it or thanking God and glorifing Him.

O Lord, how will I ever be any kind of overcomer, let alone some chosen vessel if I cannot recognize your profound movements in my life?

The more I contemplate the more I am disgusted at myself. I have gotten a little schedule together, where I have bargained some work for room and board and I will stay here this weekend and stay there that weekend and aren't I clever? Yeah, I have completely scheduled the Lord right on out, and did not recognize that somehow I snuck back into Egypt without even realizing it. Thank you Lord, for your grace and mercy, and for once again showing me the error of my ways. Thank you for your healing and your righteousness and your holiness.

Gone Fishing...

I'll be out in the wilderness this weekend, and offline. Will check in later.
God bless.

Empty lake, empty street, the sun goes down alone...

Last night was Wednesday in McMinnville Oregon. The main road through town is 99W and there are businesses on both sides. I drove to the library around 6pm and I saw 3 different businesses with people standing on the street corners, trying to get customers to come in and spend their money. Figaro Pizza had their Figaro mascot man standing on the corner waving to traffic trying to get people to come in and buy some pizza. The Sandwich Express store had a woman standing out front waving to people to come in and buy a sandwich or dinner.

Even the Dutch Bros. coffee place had a man hanging out of the drive thru window trying to wave to people to buy some coffee. How many businesses were hoping for people that weren’t out trying to flag them down? I’m sure quite a few. No one is buying right now, and there is a hush, a quietness that seems to defy explanation. Or is it just me?

Subtlety and the Play structure...

This is the play structure outside the window of the public library. Notice the dragon on the right and the pyramids in the background. Even the children's play structures glorify satan and the occult. If you think that "oh, pictures of dragons and pyramids are all harmless on play structures." Maybe you should look a little closer to some of the background history of some of these things before you deem them safe for the kids. I don't believe any of these things are accidental in Satan's book. Just bizarre.

I know that judgement is still coming on the land. If you have not listened to Michael Boldea's recording at the Watchman's Cry website, please scroll down and do so because it is so very important and timely. I am feeling strange in an incomplete way these days. But I have the promise of God from Phillipians:

Phl 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform [it] until the day of Jesus Christ:

Please pray for me. That I can continue to determine the will of the Father and to do it.

Less is more

I had a great weekend with family. The booklets my father made of my quest opened great doors of utterance to share the gospel with people. I spent several hours on Friday night with a cousin I had not talked to for years and we talked about doctrine and the Lord and the things coming upon the land. It was a really good time.

Things are kindof quiet right now but I am just praying and lifting family members and studying God's Word in preparation. My heart always needs to be right before the Lord and I know that it is time for quietness and study. My internet access is spotty at best right now so I will get online and post when I can.
