Matt: 5:6

Recently, I found myself wanting to know the deepest meaning of this verse.  I was startled to discover that blessed is to “declare to be blessed those who are spiritually famished”.   If we are thirsty,  we turn on the facet and fill the glass with water.  Hungry, open the refrigerator.   To the ancient Palestinian they were never far from the possibility of dehydration or starvation.  Jesus is far from recommending a polite, fashionable, courteous desire for spiritual food, but rather a desperate hungering.   “As the deer pants for the water brook, so pants my soul after thee, O God”.

Righteousness…rightly related to…It is a continuous inner spiritual hunger , passion for Him!  David ” my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water”.  It spills over into society culture “thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.   It will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

I can sit down to a plate of cookies and eat until satisfied.   Coffee and cookies last for forty five minutes…I begin to hunger and thirst for more.  It is true spiritually, the more fulfilled, the greater His presence, the more discontent I have because I long for more.  Our hunger increases in the very act of being satisfied.

Thank God for such an incredible fulfilling journey.

Thank you for your response to the call to “PURSUE PRAYER”for our Nation, State, Valley, Churches, Families and Friends.  We are in “one accord” in many different States and even Canada signing on to join the 120 prayer warriors.  Many of you have asked “for how long” or “do I have to pray at a certain hour“...the answer is FOREVER!…AND ANYTIME YOU WANT!  What you are doing is joining a FORCE FOR PRAYER!  I believe this will far exceed 120 people in Pursuit of Prayer.  We have people signing up for 10minutes a day at a certain time…we just had our first teenager committing …OH MY GOODNESS…how God loves that!!  So this is what I am asking all of you …send this email to your friends and family who love to pray and see if they will join WITH YOU…take this to your bible study group…one precious lady is taking it to her church.   This is a campaign to UNITE IN ONE ACCORD bombarding Heaven for BREAKTHROUGH.

This is not about Spiritifire or any Church or Ministry…I am just a woman who has been called by God to PURSUE PRAYER  and build 120 men, women and children who will BREATH HIS NAME IN PRAYER EVERY DAY TO SEE “HIS KINGDOM COME”.  God told me MY CHILDREN ARE PRAYING BUT HAVE THEM COMMIT to being apart of the 120 in the PURSUIT OF PRAYER! So you are now on a team…let us know the answers to prayer that will be coming from this…let us know your prayer requests.  We already have a Prayer Request  asking God to heal diabetes save children and grandchildren.

Family, I wish I could type my PRAYER LANGUAGE right now !!! and have you feel the power of  the Holy Spirit  that’s coming through this computer.  WILL YOU COMMITT?   YOURPURSUIT OF PRAYER IS SO IMPORTANT TO THE KINGDOM FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS!!  Email me back if you will join the team.

There is only one way to start this and that is to just “plunge in”. Each day I read of another way for mankind to “express” themselves. It seems to me we embrace whatever comes down the path of life that allows us to justify a chosen lifestyle. It does not do any good to name them all…instead allow me to focus on possible results. The results are the rising clouds of super storms forming on a distant horizon, yet other storms seem to be forming overhead in our day to day world. Truth has become a relative term allowing someone to say what will justify the end result. Half truths, unsaid truths, misrepresented truths and on it goes. Back to those storm clouds. How long will a Holy God look the other way when we kill 50 million babies because of inconvenience? How long will HE look away from nation against nation, tribe against tribe and brother against brother. His fierce explosive crack of angers thunder will be heard if it isn’t already BEING HEARD! In 2014 we will live in the reality of having been pushed and forced into another step toward socialism. Christians are suspect, terrorists are peace loving people (so we have been told). Sooner or later these and many other actions will release the power of judgments STORMS. At sometime, on any day God has chosen, we will face the certainty that we are not seeing the “end times” WE ARE WELL INTO THE END TIMES. Jesus said, “I am the WAY,TRUTH, LIFE”. We will not be able to stop the unfolding of God’s end time plan, but we will be able to stand tall taking our positions, standing in our appointed places with and in His presences and His banner of truth over us. In the meantime create places to gather and pray, giving ourselves to fasting and faith. His sustaining power will be there as will His provision. He is still GOD and this is now and will be “His world”. As these days unfold celebrate His Kingdom and become strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 2014 will be another piece in the end time puzzle it will consist of days the Lord has made and we will REJOICE in them

When I hear the word “more” my mind recalls a Vineyard song entitled “MORE”. I am inspired by writers who can take words and put them in an order that touches my emotions and captures my imagination. Some lines from the song MORE that did exactly that are: “More than magnet and steel are drawn to unite More than poets love words to rhyme as they write… More than an eloquent word depends on the tongue More than a passionate song needs to be sung… More than the pounding waves long for the shore More than these gifts You give, I love You more.” Each of these lines paint a very graphic picture that can distill down into the human heart and spirit for those who are reaching and longing for the shore of the Fathers love and touch. We long for that coming together, to unite to be one with Him. There is that within the heart of the redeemed individual that wants to see His purpose through His eyes and see that purpose fulfilled in us daily. It is not just an empty promise. It will come to pass! As the Holy Spirit works within us releasing us to carry His fullness into our sphere of influence, we will know oneness and intimacy. It is His heart to do so and from His great heart there is always MORE coming to pass. I thank you Father for your MORE that manifests in so many ways in all of our lives.

Here in Montana we have been moving from the end of winter to spring through spring toward the beginning of summer. Each year this “Rite of Passage” imprints on my mind one word more than any other, ‘HOPE.” Woven into the fabric of hope are two words ‘LIFE AND LIGHT.’  Days are longer sun shines more warming the atmosphere,  releasing earth from its cold prison and life’s renewal happens before our eyes. Life (DZO-AY) Theological Dictionary to the NT. Life the state of one who has possessed of vitality.  I marvel at the power of life manifested in early plants as temperatures vary drastically.  Life also means “The ABSOLUTE FULLNESS of LIFE both essential and ethical which belongs to GOD as winter’s grip eases, plants, full of essential life, thrive. So true of us as well.  Both, plants and humans,  possess the Creator’s glorious, genuine, active and vigorous life…assigned to us and activated by seasonal changes.  LIGHT is an integral part of all of this.  Plants receive light and the ingredients of life release them from winter’s chill.  Light delivers plants into their created purpose, here potential is fully released – bring freedom to their world So true with us!  His WORD is light, illumines, releases knowledge into our world bringing freedom from darkness, delivering us into the HIS KINGDOM OF LIGHT.  We begin to live in the light of His love, truth, renewal, transformation and restoration.  What hope, what great expectations.

Zechariah 12:10; Hebrews 5:1-9; Ephesians 6:18

SUPPLICATION: a continuing intense search for a request, to come to pass according to God’s will and in God’s timing.
It is the persistent, ongoing laying this request before the Lord.  According to Hebrews 5: 1-9, it begins with the cross.  What was planned in eternity, came into existence in Gethsemane’s tears and sweat, and was finished in the agony and torture of the cross. It is the believer’s knowledge of God’s promise of His existing order of the life on earth.  Thy Kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.  When we become aware that His order in our circumstances or situations is not ruling …I call for His order… what He has willed to be released.  I continue to bring this to His attention for however long it takes!

I am sitting by the big picture window, it is dark outside, but the waves of Flathead Lake can be heard splashing on the rocky shore.  It is Monday night and there are forty two days until the begining of  a bright, full of possibilities, bringing its share of trials==NEW YEAR.  But …between now and then there is this “most wonderful time of year.”

Think of it, the traveling, the arriving, the family and friends carrying all the smiles, hugs, warm and loving words and who can forget the food.
This time of year  can be so full of memories to be made, hearts poured full of wonders that words cannot adequately describe.  The Wonder of the snowflake with it uniqueness, the world’s best Christmas tree, the best tasting turkey you have ever had,  Oh yes the gifts, but what makes them priceless is the love
and thoughtfulness behind them.  The Christmas Story—without which this could not be.  Yes, there are activities, busy schedules BUT, it is the people who are the greatest gifts.  Celebrate them, Celebrate life and most of all Celebrate HIM.

THE SPRING GIVES WAY TO SUMMER AND RAIN FALLS LESS AND LESS IN THE MOUNTAINS AND GRASSLANDS; THE TERM FIRE SEASON IS HEARD.  FIRE SEASON INDICATES THAT TIMBER, UNDERBRUSH ON MOUNTAINS AND IN GRASSLANDS IS DRYING OUT.  THE ATMOSPHERE BIRTHS STORMS THAT PRODUCE LIGHTNING STRIKES THAT BIRTH FIRES, SPARKS FROM MYRIAD OF SOURCES SET FIRES.  FIRES THAT SOON BURN OUT OF CONTROL, CONSUMING THOUSAND OF ACRES OF WOODLAND ARE BATTLED BY ALL THAT MAN CAN THROW AT THIS RAGING BEAST.  CONTAINMENT IS THE GOAL AND THEN, EXTINGUISHING THE LAST SPARK.
PERHAPS ON THE SPIRIT SIDE FIRE SEASON IS NOT TO BE DREADED BUT ANTICIPATED.  IT IS POSSIBLE THAT OVER TIME OUR BUSY SCHEDULES AND OVERWHELMING DEMANDS BEGIN TO DRY OUT THE ATMOSPHERE AND CONTENTS OF OUR LIVES.  CULTURE STORMS, DAILY ROUTINES BIRTH STORMS, RELATIONSHIPS AND LIFE CREATE THE DARK CLOUDS AND ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE AND STORMS.  A HEAVENLY SPARK, TINDER DRY HEARTS, SPIRITS BURST INTO THE FLAMES “THERE MUST BE MORE TO LIFE THAN THIS.”  THE WIND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT BLOWS ACROSS THE LANDSCAPE OF YOUR HUNGER – FANNING THE FLAMES OF HIS PRESENCE AND WE ARE IN ONE OF THOSE MOVES OF GOD.

THANK GOD FOR HIS FIRE SEASONS.

We are a few months into this year of unheard
of speculation. The ancient civilizations and
their calendars, one of which says this present
time frame will end and a new order will
emerge.

There is constant speculation and talk about
underemployment, illegal immigration, rising
anger, medicare and social security, the
national debt, national security, energy,
global warming, big government, and that is
but some of the list. Everyone is looking to
getting the right/best people in the White
House, congress, the judicial system then we
can fix everything.

Problem: Democracy is the lowest form of
government because man is incapable of
even governing himself. Democracy will
always exist equal with the level of a nation’s
moral compass. Therefore, we need total
repentance for unparalleled wickedness.

Everywhere you look in this present world,
there is the threat of financial ruin. The
U. S. and nine European countries have
had their credit rating downgraded.
The Dollar is in jeopardy as well as the Euro.
China is not nearly as strong as has been thought.
Riots are a distinct possibility. China and other
nations mock and ignore international law daring
anyone to do something.

Then there is Israel the center piece of the end time
puzzle. The threats around God’s land and people
mount with every passing day. Iran, Iraq, Syria,
and the new supposed democracy of Egypt, as well
Turkey pose a serious danger to Israel. We are more
than on-lookers, our instruction is to pray for her peace.

In these days of uncertainty, it is paramount that we
keep our eyes fastened on JESUS. It is equally important
to KNOW THE WORD, STAY IN THE WORD. Praying
always with all the saints, trusting in the fulfillment of HIS
promises. HE WILL MOVE BY HIS SPIRIT ONCE AGAIN.

This world is not your home, you are but visiting, strengthen
one another in the Word, contend for the faith, and never,
never, never quit.

Now unto HIM who is able to keep you and present you
faultless before the throne, blessing upon blessing

Timeless is a masterpiece of art whose brilliance cannot be extinguished; existing unaffected by the passing of time.

Timeless is a writing whose truth will always be applicable to the past, present and future.

Timeless is classic, something or someone that is of impacting significance; whose worth continues to have the capacity to powerfully captivate the mind, heart and imagination.

Timeless is a phrase that culture uses to describe something that cannot be discarded, diminished or decimated.

Timeless has the capability to stand formidably in the culpable winds of culture and the fierce storms of change that mutate truth.

Timeless is the power of endurance, continuing existence, endemic because of its origin.

Timeless is a love that is ageless, its passion never diminishes, expanding its dimensions, embracing and covering the object of its desire.

Timeless is a place, a dimension, an attitude and a promise.

Timeless is a plan, a purpose whose ultimate fulfillment reaches into infinity and beyond.

Timeless is hope that cannot be contained in definitions, or held captive within the capacity of human reason.

Timeless is a person who existed before time, who exists in time and will exist after time. A person who began the seasons, who designated day and night, who set the universe in motion and who has the ability and power to set aside time and timeless. Timeless is Jesus!

There is a powerful force in our universe. Everything marches to its silent influence.

All conduct, all circumstances, all experiences feels its impact.

It heals and restores, it dims and enhances; finally it is both vivid and lost in shadows.

In a single moment, its power will freeze frame tragedy, polarize poignancy, leaving breathless astonishment in its wake.

There is a sameness and change simultaneously in its existence.

It is an infant, vibrant youth, mellow middle age or the wise aged, depending on the observer.

This powerful force flows as a river through life.

It eddies in the bend of this river, depositing the flotsam of experiences in its backwaters.

It flings itself over precipice experiences with wild urgency.

Rushing toward a series of distant experiences with expectant fulfillment – its gift is disturbingly unlike the expectation and it leaves behind less than satisfying memories.

It can be a violent discordant note or a rapturous harmony.

It can be a symphony of sound soothing the senses, or be as disturbing as the crashing harassing sound of cymbals.

This force appears as a grotesque caricature of life or the emaciated starved remains in the cave of neglect.

Yet, sometimes it moves with grace and fluidity, intently absorbing the activity.

It has a beginning and an end.

It is celebrated and mourned, worshipped and ridiculed.

It is invested and squandered, clutched at and waved away.

It has its own rhythm, moves in and out of its own season, gently, harshly changing impressions and perceptions.

Its unrelenting pressure grinds interminably, chipping away at enthusiasm and exuberance.

Its shrieking silence is a cacophony in the marketplace of existence.

It defines certain dimensions, but still needs its own definition.

It limits life and is itself unlimited.

It will in its measured swiftness keep its own appointment.

—When its creator says—

“TIME SHALL BE NO MORE!”

If there were no clouds, we would not be here, without clouds, water would cover 85% of the globe, all of it in oceans. Rain beings as invisible water vapor, which is absorbed in to the air form lakes, rivers and oceans by evaporation.

Evaporation can turn more than 5000 tons of water into water vapor from each square mile of ocean in just one hour, around the globe.

Invisible water vapor has to become droplets of water before it can form into clouds. These droplets can be so tiny that eight million would make one full-grown drop of rain. Billions of these form clouds that float hundreds of miles in the air until the right atmospheric pressure causes the clouds to release some of their moisture as rain, snow, sleet or hail. Rain occurs when clouds can no longer hold their water.

Every cloud you see in the sky is a blessing from God.

Think again, billions and billions of those water droplets are what form clouds. Now, begin to number the times when the Spirit of God touched you. Those times of worship, times of His presence flowing over your being, the word of God make alive in your heart by the Spirit’s touch, the times when that same word, hidden there by your study, suddenly bursts forth in passionate splendor, illuminating your heart and flowing from your life; the song that moved you beyond emotional control, the melody and harmony that worked together to massage your heart so that thanksgivings tears were poured forth in praise. Billions and billions of Spirit droplets filled the clouds of your life, you come into contact with the atmospheric pressure of your world and because of a recognized need; you rain God’s love, care, passion, power, healing, restoration, and wholeness on others.

Thank God for all those experiences, incidents that bring us His presence so it can be released as His rain in a parched place.
