Hello everyone, I have some more thoughts and a word that just may go with the last post. The last word was given to me just shortly before I shared it. This one came to me back on March 30, 2025. It’s interesting how our Lord works. It also shows that He has been sending words in the same area for some time now. o, here is the word from then. Expectation, peace, and serenity. What are your expectations? Do they line up with what I have for you? Do you have the peace that passes all understanding? If not, what keeps you from being there?

After this word I looked up the definition of “serenity.” It means; a state of freedom from storm or disturbance. I could not tell you what I thought back then. But now, Its like wow. Part of my reasoning is that I don’t use words like tempest or serenity. They are not in my normal vocabulary.

As I was thinking about this I heard the Lord say;”If you have the first two in accordance to Me and My ways then the third is where you will find yourself.” Bringing us back to the beginning. What are your expectations and do you have peace? Expectation means; anticipation, assurance. Does this mean that we are waiting for the enemy (devil) to get a swift kick in the pants? Are we assured that this will happen? Is our expectation to handle this coming storm and not be wavered. Or even to come out of it alright? How about further ahead and closer to Him.

Peace, this is a good question. Do we have the peace that says we are doing all that we can as a child of the Lord? Are we being obedient? And in this do we have faith enough to move forward knowing that this stuff can happen at anytime? Do we trust God to take care of us throughout the storm?

Psalm 107:28-30 talks about our Lord hearing our cry for help in the time of trouble. Quieting the storms and stilling the waves. How we are glad because of Him as He guides us to our haven.

Psalm 89:9 states; “you rule the raging sea; when its waves rise, You still them.” This once again tells us that our Lord is in control. So, do our expectations line up with Him and His ways? Can peace be found and a place for us to dwell?

When we say yes to these we can be found in serenity. How do we know? Simply know that our Lord has our life, walk, all of who we are. We cannot do anything without Him.

With the coming storm we need to be grounded in His word. Praying must become a standard part of our lives. Listening and obeying are to be developed with care. In the Proverbs it talks of gaining wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. These are not multiple choice questions. They are what we need to be doing.

Thank you for reading and please share this with someone.

This Last Sunday while at church I heard from our Lord the word “Tempest.” So, I looked it up at Merriam-Webster.com and one of the definitions was “violent storm.” As I pressed in I was given this. “The tempest is coming to America. Blowing away all that we know. The time is now to prepare for this onslaught. Make My Church ready. Then comes the cleansing flood. The streets will be swept clean. No longer to be the usual. I’m taking back the land and making it ready for My people.”

After getting this word, I asked why, what does this mean? He told me that we listen the last time. Immediately I thought of the pandemic. At that time I distinctly heard that it was not going to be church as usual. So, what did the church do? It moved toward getting back to where it was before. Not taking the time to seek our Lord for direction. Just going with what we thought was best.

People, now is the time to get into a real relationship with Jesus. We need to be trees planted by the River that flows from the Throne. Eze.47 gives us a good picture of this. Trees deeply planted in the soil. His word, His presence and praying continually. Jesus knows us, but do we really know Him? Don’t think that He can’t/ won’t do it. In Eze17:22-24 read about what God will do to the trees. Among other things He will make the dry tree flourish. This is a good section of scripture to read. I personally like the symbolism here. Also we can go to Hosea 10:12 and read about breaking up the unplowed ground and making it ready.

This is why we need to be ready for what is to come. Being strongly planted in Him will keep us from getting washed away. Weathering out the storm and flooding that comes.

Oh, and by the way. When I shared this with a good friend he has had very similar “feelings” of what is to come. Just not knowing when. This is why we can’t waste a moment of now. We need to get going right away.

Hey everyone, its not to often that I do posts this close together. As we are mostly aware of is that time is drawing closer to Jesus’ return. So once again I am digging into some words that our Lord has given me. Lets begin with one from 9/8/24. I heard “release the sorrow.” Then I saw a person walking in a desert with their head bowed low while dragging a blacksmith’s anvil behind them from a rope.

As I thought about this I was brought to Luke 21:28 which states “now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.” How many of us have been here or know someone who has? over the last few years we have been going thru trying times. Both politically and spiritually. Often these two have been linked together. Even though it appears that we have hope for a better time to come, don’t relax your walk with Jesus. If we only looked at the vision we could be depressed. that is why we need to press in and listen for the answer to it. This scripture in Luke brings us this hope we need.

God is so good. He brings the added answer after allowing us time to chew on the previous vision. On 9/22/24 He said “be still, be quiet, listen, shut out the noise.” And yes I mentioned this in the last post, but it fits with the Word from 9/8/24. We can get distracted at times while looking for an answer. This Word helps us in going through the process of finding it. Talk about climbing into our closet to get away from it all.

Just a few days ago on 11/16/24 I heard “tomorrow never comes and today is to late. I want you in the middle. Go and look. For you will find Me there.” Wow, what a thought. Where is this middle? One thought is an old expression. “There is no better time than the present.” Why put off for tomorrow what we can do today. This is something we all have heard throughout our lives. What gets me about this expression is that it is not good enough. Somewhere between sleeping and waking up is the middle. going here before we start our day. For some of us it is about waking up during the night and seeking Him. We may have been awakened or just doing it out of habit, it doesn’t matter. Seek Him with all your heart and with all of who you are.

These are some of my thoughts of these that go with His Words. You may have a different view. If so, send me a text or a message telling me of them. Comments on this blog have been turned off due to all the garbage that gets put in it.

Hey everyone, how are we doing? Since the last posting our Lord has been showing me many different and yet similar things. Like the last posting about worship. Now, I would like to add a thought or two to it. The Holy Spirit was telling that worship can’t be forced. That would be like pushing a string. Its not going to happen. Worship needs to come from the heart and pure desire.

Back on August 8th. I heard the Holy Spirit say “put out to pasture.” It is a place where you go to rollover and die. But it is a place of great nourishment from undisturbed soil. It is also a quiet place where you will find me. A place where I do some of my best equipping. Don’t fear this place. Embrace it.

A couple of thoughts I had with this were about feelings. Like abandonment, this is not of the Lord. Also, we are to put to flight our feelings. Know and be sure. Faith over feelings.

After this I have had words about being like a caged animal, sorrow and Jesus as the cornerstone. On Sept. 22 the Holy Spirit told me “be still, be quiet, listen, shut out the noise.” These are good words to keep. This is a call to be with Him. Spending time in His presence.

There are more words, but those are for another time. What has been a recurring theme is our relationship with Jesus and the Holy Spirit. As our world continues to get crazy we will need to have developed a close relationship with Him. As Jesus is cleansing His church He is also calling us to Him. The time of church as usual will not fly any longer. This is comfort and complacency. Where we do things in our own understanding leaving out our Lord and the Holy Spirit. After all, whose church is it anyway. There is no better time than now to get going on our walk with the Lord.

Hey everyone its that time again. This time we are going to work from a word I was given back in mid August. This one is short but strong. “Don’t carry the dirt of where you have been into my presence.” How is that for a word from the Lord? My first thought after receiving this what scripture goes with this word? Well it was as simple as Ex. 3:5 where our Lord told Moses to remove his sandals because where he was standing was holy ground.

At this point please do not be one of those who say “thanks Ken, this is a good word.” Then turn around an leave this alone . Checking out other stuff. When we gave our hearts to the Lord we confessed our sin and asked for forgiveness. We received this forgiveness and Jesus came in and now dwells within us. So, why is it so hard to ask for cleanliness from Jesus now? Remember that we live in this world even though we are not to be part of it. Therefore there is sin on and in us that needs to be gotten rid of.

Here is a thought. Are our prayers being answered? is it in a timely manner? I was prophesied over and told that this certain thing was going to happen. But it hasn’t happened. Why? Well, is it that we are carrying garbage that needs to be gotten rid of first? What does God see first when He looks upon us? Is it Jesus in us or is it all the other junk? But going back to prayers, there may be other reasons for unanswered prayers. For we know that our battle is not here on earth. It is in the heavenly places above. Even so, it is not a bad thing to be cleansed.

If you want a closer walk with God, put and keep yourself in a place of cleanliness. A place where we hear God clearly with nothing getting in the way. Jesus is looking for a bride without spot or wrinkle.

During Prayer this morning saw people being carried on the backs of other people across water. My question is why? I thought about Eze.ch.47 and the river that flows from south of the alter in the temple. About the view of ankle, knee, waist deep water and water over their heads.

I also thought about how I soaked in natural hot spring pools. Not only the benefits of the hot water, but the benefits of the minerals in the water. How I was encouraged not to shower afterward in order to get the full benefits of the minerals.

Now, what is wrong with being in water? Yes, there is water that is a barrier. In these cases miracles were performed. Moses parting the Red Sea, Elijah and Elisha using the mantle to part the waters (2 Kings 2:8-14). But water is not always a barrier. Sometimes we just need to be in it.

How many of us have been in a service, meeting or time of prayer and the presence of God was just thick and inviting. First lets note that when God is present He is present in all three persons. Jesus said that if you see me you have seen my Father. My Father is in me and I in Him. So, if both of them are there so is the Holy Spirit.; You cannot have two of them and not the third. Remember that they are 3 in one.

As we have had time in His presence we have had time with the Holy Spirit. These soaking times are a time to draw closer to Him. In turn He will use this time to add to or just plainly equip us for His work. Yes there is a “high” from being there in His presence, but there is more to it. Please don’t do this just for the high. I have seen people go from service to service just for His presence. That’s almost like going to a party and asking for the food and then leaving right after eating.

Go to a service. Go to a time of prayer or worship. Get into His presence and soak for awhile. You may get a word for yourself or someone else. You may receive a dream or vision. Getting direction for ministry is possible. Just go expecting to receive from Him something more than a feeling.

Like being in that hot spring pool and having all those minerals penetrating your body is time spent soaking in God’s presence. You are receiving from Him more than is visible to the eye. Don’t be carried across the water. Walk into it and spend time there.

Hello, this me again after a few (lol) months. Going back to this last July I am going to share a couple of words our Lord told me. At the pre service prayer time on July 23 I asked the Lord “what are we not being obedient to that you aren’t (can’t) build this house?” Of which He said That we aren’t ready. So I asked “ready in what manner Lord?” After ward I kept hearing “follow up.” Referring to the week before.

So, the week before (7/16) I heard the word “do.” Asking for clarity He said “follow my example.” Of which I asked which one. He said “I did only what my Father said to do.” Jesus tells the Pharisee’s of his Father and Him being one. In John 10:24 to the end of the chapter.

Now, let us ask the Father what we are to do. But are we prepared for the answer? For the answer He gives us may not be what we were expecting. Secondly, after we hear the answer are we going to be willing to be obedient to it?

To get to a point of answering these questions we need to first work on our relationship with our God. Starting by humbling ourselves before Him. Get out of this me, myself and I thing that is so common for us. In Matt. 10:34-39 Jesus talks of what it takes to “be worthy of Him.” This is a good section to read over and over again. Also remember the great commandment. Loving Jesus with everything and all of who we are then loving our neighbor. Notice it doesn’t say to love yourself or anything like that. Because if you follow this example it will get back to you through someone else.

We need to die to flesh, humble ourselves and be willing to just say yes to Him. It is hard, but we need to start somewhere and there is no better time than now.

Jesus wants to change things and put them in order. He just wants to do it through us.

As is my custom I am making this post later than I should have. My writings are too far separated from each other. Now in doing this post I have gone back to my notebook to read of some of the words the Lord has given me. This next one is from November 10, 2022 during a time of prayer.

A Vision) Watching weapons being forged. Heated, beaten, heated, beaten and folded etc. We are going through the process of becoming weapons of warfare. Reheating happens while there is still heat in the material. Don’t cool off too much. Crafted by Him with His beauty being displayed in us as weapons.

All of the trials, temptations and persecution we have gone through has just made us stronger. Being heated, beaten and folded in order to make us into that weapon He will use to fulfill His desires. Keep pressing in to our Lord and the Holy Spirit. Reading His Word as it is life for us. Worship Him with all of who we are. Surrender to Him and simply be obedient to Him. The forging process may not be comfortable but it is necessary for our growth.

In a matter related to this word I recently had another one similar to it. ” You need to build the bowl before you fill it.” Let God have His way in your life. The plans He has for us are not to harm us , but to make us stronger. Now to some of us this may be what we need to read. Others may say that ” I am already here doping this.” Just know that there is always refinement and more for us. Never stop pursuing. For the limits He has for us do not exist. We never really make it all the way while we are here on earth. Always more, always higher and never ending.
