The road stretches outward and forward and always up. What does it mean to become a House Of Prayer for the Lord? How do we walk in the Holy Spirit?

A Glimpse Inside:
Chapter 8: Articulation Of The Journey
September 9th, 2022, 4:21am – The Farm, Meridian, TX, USA:
I live to articulate the journey. This is my assignment from the Lord. This is what is meant by “To Know Him And To Make Him Known.” It is the daily articulation of the moments spent seeking God and seeking to listen and obey Him. Moment by moment in the here and the now, in the today. In my daily relationship with Him… the part of my life that is truly eternal:
“So, we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable.” – 2 Corinthians 4:18 AMP
Brush strokes on an eternal canvas are our prayers. We won’t see their many colors or their vast arrangement here, but we will see it all then and it will all glorify the eternal and living God.
Eternity is the place I want to dwell in every moment of my life no matter where in time and space I am. I want eyes that look toward eternity and see eternity in every single moment. “For Jews demand signs (attesting miracles), and Greeks pursue [worldly] wisdom and philosophy, but we preach Christ crucified, [a message which is] to Jews a stumbling block [that provokes their opposition], and to Gentile’s foolishness [just utter nonsense], but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks (Gentiles), Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. [This is] because the foolishness of God [is not foolishness at all and] is wiser than men [far beyond human comprehension], and the weakness of God is stronger than men [far beyond the limits of human effort]. Just look at your own calling, believers; not many [of you were considered] wise according to human standards, not many powerful or influential, not many of high and noble birth. But God has selected [for His purpose] the foolish things of the world to shame the wise [revealing their ignorance], and God has selected [for His purpose] the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong [revealing their frailty]. God has selected [for His purpose] the insignificant (base) things of the world, and the things that are despised and treated with contempt, [even] the things that are nothing, so that He might reduce to nothing the things that are, so that no one may [be able to] boast in the presence of God. But it is from Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God [revealing His plan of salvation], and righteousness [making us acceptable to God], and sanctification [making us holy and setting us apart for God], and redemption [providing our ransom from the penalty for sin], so then, as it is written [in Scripture], “He who boasts and glories, let him boast and glory in the Lord.”” – 1 Corinthians 1:22-31 AMP
Chapter 15: Standing In The Flood
September 16th, 2022, 7:51am – The Farm, Meridian, TX, USA:
“Be still and know that I am God.” – Psalm 46:10
Do we ever ‘be still’?
This morning I am curled up under a blanket just sitting in God’s presence. Listening to His still, small voice and just being held by Him. The storm is raging… just outside the circle of His embrace. Money. Travel plans. Lodging. School. All of it… the trip to Israel is churning outside of this quiet space of closeness to Him. God, I need your wisdom as I take the steps forward toward what you’ve asked me to do. Open every door before me. Let me keep my eyes on you God.
Yesterday I had my tooth extracted and God’s grace was all over the dentist visit and the time last evening and night. This morning I’m not bleeding or really in pain. I feel woozy a bit but otherwise unscathed. People gave $2,448 dollars toward my trip to Israel yesterday. Praise God for His provision! Today I’m expecting more to come. And the path to Israel is now clearly opened before me. So, I must walk it.
What will today bring? Only He knows.
“(as it is written [in Scripture], “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the sight of Him in whom he believed, that is, God who gives life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist.” – Romans 4:17 AMP
I’m not supposed to have a place to stay in either South Korea or Haifa. I’m supposed to just go… “With what will fit beneath the seat in front of me.” God will provide the rest.
Daily leading is how God wants my Journey to Israel. So that’s how it will be both in South Korea and in Israel. GO!
I kept seeing a vision of me walking off this farm with just the backpack on my back with no ride or destination. Today God told me the meaning of that vision… I will leave the country with no “home” to go to… just to “GO” and God will provide along the way and at my destination. It’s He that goes before me, and He that goes behind me and He that is on my left and on my right. So, it is Him that I will trust as I leave this place for the next. My life belongs to Him as does my future and all my days. My life is to answer the question, “What can God do with someone who is wholly devoted to Him?”
Chapter 36: When God Says No
August 22, 2019 –
What if when you prayed and asked for something God simply replied, “No.”
What if He did not answer at all? What if He turned His face away? How would you respond?
What if He hid Himself from you? What if you got sick? What if you prayed to be healed and you got worse? What if you prayed for someone else and God said, “No.”
What if the sand blew in the wind and got in your eyes? What if you had no umbrella and it started to rain? What if you couldn’t pay your bills and the bank foreclosed on your house? What if your children were taken away? What if your children died suddenly in the night? What if they were taken? What if your husband or wife beat you? What if they left you? What if you were all alone? What if you got laid off at work? What if you were fired?
What if you were blind? What if you were deaf? What if you had a speech impediment? What if you stuttered? What if you had a bad back? A bad heart? What if you had cancer? What if you were confined in a wheelchair?
When God wrapped His arms around me over a year ago and said, “You are going to listen to me, and you are going to obey me. And I am going to get you out of here.” I didn’t expect that path He would take me down.
He asked me to give away my video game systems, and He was asking, “Do you love me more than this world’s entertainment? Do you trust me to be your all? Can I fill your time and thoughts?”
He asked me to give away my computer and my design work from 15 years of my life, and He was asking, “Do you love me more than this? Can I be your career? Can you follow my lead as I show you what I created you for? Can I be your purpose for living?”
He asked me to give away my clothes, shoes, coats, and other practical essentials, and He was asking me, “Do you love me more than these? Can I be the one to clothe you? Can I give you warmth and can I keep you cool? Can you trust me to provide for your most basic needs?”
He asked me to give away my car, and He was asking, “Do you love me more than this? Do you trust me to hold you close and get you where you need to be? Do you trust me to watch over you as you lay down on the grass, on a park bench, or behind a dumpster? Do you trust that I will guard and keep you in your most vulnerable state?”
Every single step of the way on this journey He has been asking me, “Do you love me more than this? Do you trust me to be your all?”
Do I trust Him? Do I love Him more than I love having the safety and security that this world offers? I do not know the answer to these questions. But I wake every day and seek Him. I obey His commands. I read His Word. One day at a time, that’s all He is giving me grace and strength for. For today. For Him. Until He takes me home.
