We all begin somewhere, Me? Learning is always a curve I'm on. As a listener, you know I am right in the middle of a Podcast facelift. It's good, but learning new software has its challenges.
If you missed last weeks episode (TRUTH will change facts) I encourage you to listen. The questions pondered in today's episode found many roots from my guest interview with Mike Parsons and his profound statements. It's odd, you know truths, but they haven't yet infiltrated your life-out-loud actions yet!
​You know this about me, I like to ask questions. 
Todays Takeaways 

• Live Activation to visualize TRUTH | Baptism Picture
• Learning How to Ask the Father point blank what His heart is about a situation. 
• Prayer, that you be flooded with light and inspired insight
• Learning to see in the spirit

So glad you could join me, I am looking forward to making good on my promise from last week.
The coolest activation, or should I say activations as this is a very hands on episode. Holy Spirit you are a star.
While preparing for this weeks episode, I was thinking about all the places that you could be listening to this podcast from. Near and far, some of those places, hmm, we will just clap an oh-my-goodness over our lips and not say. We aren't going there are we? We all do this, right? 
It's an interesting note to look at Podcast stats. I can see the different listening platforms, what country or town you are listening from. 75% of you are listing on your phone, so we can assume you are doing two things at the same time. That's what I do when I listen to podcasts.
I am either driving or doing mundane chores around the house.
But there is nothing mundane about todays episode.​

Point 1: Asking the Father, point blank what His heart is about a situation.
This is the way I process the word, situation.

1. Position or status with regard to conditions and circumstances.
2. The combination of circumstances at a given moment; a state of affairs.
3. A difficult or unpleasant set of circumstances; a problem.  

We all know what scripture says, about healing and overcoming.
There isn't a doubt that God is good, loves you and I more than we may perceive.
God has touched each of our lives in so many areas.
You and I are not strangers to faith.
But have you asked Him point blank, and then waited until He reveals Himself through the answer? 

I'm going to break this out a little further, ok.

1.  Let's ask ourselves;  are assumptions hindering an honest conversation? Selah.

Even the best assumptions based in truth, are not truth revealed.
What do I mean truth revealed; agape love.
We have to experience an encounter with Him that forever altars any opinions that may present themselves. 
We talked about that in episode: 104 GRACE that's to easy!  
James 1:2 Temptations and contradictions come in different shapes, sizes, and intervals; their intention is always to suck you into their energy field. However, my friends, your joy in who you know you are leads you out triumphantly every time. Joy is the official voice of faith. "Count it all joy," make a calculation to which joy can be the only logical conclusion.) 1:3 Here is the secret: joy is not something you have to fake, it is the fruit of what your faith knows to be true about you. You know that the proof of faith results in a persuasion that remains constant in contradiction. 1:5 The only thing you could possibly lack is wisdom.
[One might sometimes feel challenged beyond the point of sanity.]
However, make your request in such a way that you draw directly from the source.
[Not filtered through other opinions]
God is the origin and author of wisdom; He intertwines your thoughts with good judgment. His gifts are available to all, without regret. we are putting pressure on remaining constant in contradiction, amen.MTB

You'd be extremely grateful to both God and the tools found through journaling. I placed so much value on hearing His voice, writing down what He said, it changed my life, it change "church." But that is what the UnFinished Book is for, a powerful story I am so proud of. 

Lets take a moment to apply some life application:
Since last weeks episode I have set myself on a course to ask God with Point Blank intention,
what His heart is for different areas of my life.

1. Its Holy Spirit job to help you hear and understand,
2. Jesus provided us with Grace, a living life force. Grace empowers us to receive
3. It's our response to ask, and rest, that the answer was prepared before the question.
4. And, it's our privilege to allow God to speak to us in the most creative ways.

When I lead people in inner healing, I always ask them to believe what He shows you. Even tho your understanding has no idea what it means.
Just like the Prophet Elijah and the Apostle John: God asked them what do you see? So when I see something that is unexplainable I say, Jesus this is what I see or perceive, then He affirms me, either yes, or let me show you again. Keep it simple.
Father God you word says: that you have given eyes to see and ears to hear. And all GRACE abounding. 
See Ephesians 1:18,19 MTB

Let me share with you a simple story,
the TRUTH,
my testimony and
then together we will dive into the Oneness that He so richly provided for us.
I'll title it Baptism Promise
I'd like to cue a disclosure right up front
why? To kick out a contending spirit. A spirit of measure or judgement. I'm simply putting light on it. So the real truth can be seen. My disclosure is this, my ear problem is not life threatening.
I hear you, that is why I am addressing a disclosure. Because we hear you.
We, the Godhead and I know that there are listeners out there that are struggling with life threatening issues. When Jesus called Lazarus from the dead, look how many issues were presented.
Despair, confusion, that God didn't show up on time, but Jesus wept and had compassion on every one of them. Let's shine the light of compassion, Gods principles apply for an ear, for a heart, for finances, or any manner of sickness. 

I was sitting at my desk, just like I am now, writing out this post.
My right ear has been bothering me for a couple years. First it started as itching.
Then in the last 6 months I would wake up and my ear had liquid that had drained out of it through the night. And in the last 2 months I have been dealing with ringing in the ear.  I had already walked into the courts of heaven to deal with any accusations. I'd always heard that ear ringing was demonic, crap! So now I'm bothered and feel un-empowered. Can we talk, talk about the real, life application stuff?
This is a workshop discussion on change, right.
Back to my desk.
I put my elbows on the desk and cupped my SCREAMING literally a frequency that would shut up. I cupped my hand over my right ear. And asked Jesus to show me the TRUTH
IMAGINE with me TRUTH in capital letters standing like pillars at the top of a hill, similar to the famous Hollywood letters.

I'm holding my painful ear in one hand and in the spirit climbing to the top of this hill, once at the top, I start walking around each letter of TRUTH, Jesus is the way, truth and the life.
and I am positioning myself, we are positioning ourselves together.
Jesus led my spirit to what looked like a large bathtub sitting in the ocean. The ocean was so attractive, you could feel the tropical warmth, sea-foam greens were kissing ocean blues and all the colors melding in between. and there is this large oval bathtub, submerged in the peaceful still ocean and filled with the waters of the ocean.
I was still holding my ear. And I saw Jesus lead my spirit into the waters and we submerged ourselves in the waters.
Isn't it cool that you can breathe under water in the spirit.
I was warm, loved, lead, and resting in the water still holding my ear.
So I asked Jesus to explain.
Before we go to the next part, if you haven't already jumped in to this spiritual picture, I invite you in.
you take hold of the situation which has become a circumstance in your life, hold it like I'm holding my ear. In the spirit of your imagination, jump on in the water is fine! 

Romans 6:3 What are we saying then in baptism, if we are not declaring that we understand our union with Christ in his death? 6:4 Baptism pictures how we were co-buried together with Christ in his death; then it powerfully illustrates how in God's mind we were co-raised with Christ into a new lifestyle. (Hosea 6:2.)
6:5 We were like seeds planted together in the same soil, to be co-quickened to life.
If we were included in his death we are equally included in his resurrection. (2 Cor 5:14 - 17.) 6:6 We perceive that our old lifestyle was co-crucified together with him; this concludes that the vehicle that accommodated sin in us, was scrapped and rendered entirely useless.
Our slavery to sin has come to an end. MTB

That is the path to TRUTH, the experiential kind. Jesus showed me, so I could share with you, about Himself which produced life. He was and is more powerful as TRUTH than any fact my ear could scream. 
I decree that many of you will come out of this spiritual water free.
I decree that you have been empowered to look TRUTH in the face and remain in His baptism.
until TRUTH has change fact.
I decree that you also will walk around the letters of TRUTH as pillars and hear God reveal his heart to you. 

I'm partial to Pink!

Do you ever feel like this? You want to try a new product, but to many of them hit the trash bin or take up dust! Just a little review from my bathroom counter basket! And yes they are linked with Affiliate fairy dust. 

Just a little tidbit, let's not forget the goodies coming around the corner for next week,
Angels.
Asking, learning, discussing with your Angels. Asking them about the assignments they have in your life.
You don't want to miss it.
I'll see you in one week, God is willing! â€‹

 A million years ago, pre- Married and babies, in my retail days I managed for Nordstroms! So this lady knows a thing or two about Shopping! 

Going to the grocery store, driving downtown Corvallis has a different feel.  I needed a pink specialty thread to hem my dress for my son's wedding. I stood in the check out line on blue tape marked 6 ft apart. Outdoors from the store with my parcel in hand, craft store customers just arriving parked in the next space avoided me, walking around the backside of our cars.  Not disrespectful, I applaud wisdom and being safe, just weird. I am sure your hometown has a similar essence of disconnect during these set apart days of the coronavirus. 
I have deleted more NOISE emails and NOISE Facebook posts than I can count. Draw me to the promise, share with me being seated next to Him, from heavenly places. Otherwise, it is counted as all NOISE. 
My eyes will see the coming of the Lord, that is a choice. His hand is always coming. Get in front of it, push from behind it, declare from within His hand of LOVE. 
LOVE is always the answer.
LOVE always removes, reduces, kicks and casts our fear.

Today, April 1st, 2020 marks a new day, mercies are new, grace is supplied. The drawing in this post is my response to the partnership of releasing LOVE for 15 minutes @ noon.  
LOVE is a wave upon the sand. Dance and play in it today.
I bless you. 

I release the frequency of love.
I release love from my inmost being as a wave.
I release love into the room.
I release love into my home, love towards every member of my family and household.
I release love into my street and community.

​I release love into my town (city).
I release a wave of love over my nation.
Love to everyone confined in their home, love to everyone needing to be out, love to everyone on the front line of care and support.
I release love to the whole Earth, to all humanity.
I saturate the atmosphere with love, joy and peace.
Written by Jeremy Westcot in response to Freedom ARC Blog. 4/1/20 

Last night at Church we got into the discussion of God being silent. A continued review of the importance of hearing from God.
My response, God you're never silent to Your children. Even in the face of promises that seem long overdue, shaken and teetering towards hope deferred. Lord, I answered, "You're yes, has to be encouraged and reinforced." 
​Heavens absolute, is what, why, how & with continued encouragement through relationship, that is what I really need to hear.
Your answer doesn't change.
We discussed the possibilities of "Gods Silence" being a lie?

Then this morning while writing, ascended before Him, I did a search on God being silent. Pulled up all the verses,  read them and found, they were bent towards man's opinion of punishment, or as David said a couple of times in his psalms, "God do not be silent." Overall hue, they were focused on man's frailties.
Outside of my first impromptu response, I thought I would check in with You Father, double check my heart, mindsets and seek out the truth.
How can You be silent if You live inside me, I live inside of You?
Hearts beat, the body makes noise in its ebb and flow of functionality.
Holding hands may be without words, but touch speaks loudly.
Actions communicate a thousand words.
If all heaven declares the glories of God, then my ear turns to hear the decree.
Heaven is anything but "Silent".

Heart of the Valley Community Church Sunday Message 

Hearing, I respond, "good question"? God asked me if I am silent towards Him at times, I said "yes."
Also, He asked, Why are you silent with Me?
"Because I do not understand...
something is difficult...
frustration leads my intentions..."
Embedded in my memory's, the "Silent treatment" which I hated when my parent responded in this way to me, is punitive, separating and disconnecting.

Other times I choose to be silent.
Within your company, in contemplation, or just being, no words are necessary. This silence is filled with confidence, the close-together-moment we are experiencing does not require any words to embellish its beauty. I can hear You loudly!
​
Perceptions: His Hebrew Living letters speak in many languages:
Communicate a picture holding a thousand words.
Sing a color that one must immerse themselves within it, to unravel the melody.
Move an emotion within the hidden soundwaves of love.
Or feel the refreshing dew under one's feet, while walking with God in the cool of the morning.
If I look to see His footsteps imprinted on the grass? Also, look and behold creation bowing in honor.
You will never miss the evidence of His spirit made manifest.

Silence or Silent: Is He really making "no sound"?
Is He really quiet, being still, refraining from speaking?

Faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God, right? Romans 10:17

Mirror Bible: It is clear then, that faith’s source is found in the content of the message heard; the message is Christ. 
(We are God’s audience; Jesus is God’s language! Faith comes out of the word that reveals Christ. The word “Christ” appears in the best manuscripts. Herein lies the secret of the power of the gospel; there is no good news in it until the righteousness of God is revealed! [See Rom 1:17] The good news is the fact that the cross of Christ was a success. God rescued the life of our design; he redeemed our innocence. Mankind would never again be judged righteous or unrighteous by their own ability to obey moral laws! It is not about what someone must or must not do but about what Jesus has done! God now persuades everyone to believe what he knows to be true about them. [It is from faith to faith.] The prophets wrote in advance about the fact that God believes that righteousness unveils the life that he always had in mind for us. “Righteousness by his (God’s) faith defines life.” [Habakkuk 2:4].) Has God not given humanity a fair chance to hear? Psalm 19 says, “His words touch the entire world like the rays of the sun; nothing is hidden from its heat; yes, truly their resonance resounded in all the earth, and their voice unto the ends of the earth.” [Romans 10:17-18] by Mirror Bible -

A better request might be at hand;
That faith is key to "the coming of hearing" and the need is really                   
continual reassurance what we hear-see-feel-perceive Him declaring.
​And then we can understand Davids Psalms: "Lord, Do not be SILENT"!

always a blessing to hear your encouragement and testimony's 

Yesterday I had the fantastic opportunity to reconnect with a dear friend. A kindred-spirit-treasure, however, life path's seem to keep you passing.  She's coming, and you're going or vice versa. The day was blissful and easy to be entreated. For hours we inhabited an outdoor table delighting ourselves with acorn squash ravioli, fresh garden salads, pitchers of iced tea; Overflowing our hearts and taste buds sharing a decadent taste of tiramisu. We made up for lost time. As the afternoon called us away, I took the opportunity to do a little Portland shopping, refreshing my rural self with the felicity of the city. Flocks of folk were cruising the air-conditioned malls. Malls have changed since my retail days; I was glad to see the Sees candy store still holding her own. Many unfamiliar names of shops and the presence of security guards. Reminds me earlier my friend and I walked into a cosmetic store, and there was a bored stiff, young security guard sitting on a high stool.  I asked why did they need that kind of attendant? The sales clerk responded: to protect there $400 a bottle lotion made by some manufacturer I'd never heard of,  Two sides of that coin, who buys 400 dollar cream and I found myself apologizing to this young man that his job security reinforced by dishonesty. He thanked me.
Back at the mall: Strolling and watching people I ventured past a center kiosk and was approached by a handsome young Mediterranean sales clerk. He immediately started to point out the wrinkles around my eyes and would I like a "free" sample guaranteed to rectify the problem. I kept dribbling out the, no thank you's, and he followed suit with well-versed sales turn around. I don't think I ever stopped walking past. 

Amazingly enough, he caught me again on my return trip; I continued with, no thank you among our now generating conversation. I bent close to him and said, it's rude to point out a mature women's wrinkles anyway, making his co-workers bust a gut laughing. I took charge of the questioning, put him at ease and tuned into Holy Spirit. Listening as he answered my barrage of questions. What is your home country? He responded, Israel, I asked, Jewish or Muslim? A frown creased in his brow as he said confidently, Jewish. I said cool, we have the same Abba! He asked me again, what did you say. Repeating, we have the same Abba; clarifying, I mean Father. Yes, he said, I know it means Father, but you spoke in Hebrew. Yes, Jehovah Elohim, Jehovah Tsidkenu, Jehovah Nissi and a few more. 

I should know my Father's names. Shocked with tears welling up in his eyes he shared intimate details that he had not been home for four years, nor had he heard anyone speak Hebrew outside of phone calls with family. We shared more particulars in this refreshed atmosphere, a true salesman voiced just one more time, are you sure you don't want to try a "free sample" I said no thank you. 
As I walked away from my acquaintance, astonished at "Abba's" small assignment. Can't say that I considered my small Hebrew repertoire a conversation but the sound/frequency of His name stirred and filled a homesick countryman. He is a good Daddy! 

Nothing resembles your previous identity as Jew or Gentile, bond or free, male or female, Billabong or Gucci; now you are all defined in oneness with Christ! He is your significance and makes you stand out!
