 Blue Signer  v7 Ch13 1Kgs

v7  ...come home with me and have something to eat..."

   ~My neighbor's wife come over to me today while was painting on the foundation with high gloss white enamel; she had a bag full of ice cream then thanked me for thinking about her family (Bill's sister Marlene who had died in the house fire).  We hugged and thanked each other.  There were a lot of people outside today.  Dane picked weeds out of his flower bed.  The black and white children we're playing together across the street, sometimes fighting over the toys but was all ok (i live in a mixed neighborhood).  Ora dropped Pat off so we hugged and talked for a few minutes, she wants to take me and Mike out for mexican food so told me to give her a date.  Mike and i worked outside.  Alexis came over to see if Mike had any bikes and so did the neighbor up the street whom i meet for the first time.  Mike wasn't home yet so told both to come back later to ask him and see what he could do.

 ~Tomorrow is Independence Day for America so will take the day off .  If anyone ever visits St. Charles, Missouri, USA, there is the historical adventure of Lewis and Clark downtown that has a great gift shop; my sister bought for me a book about Lewis and Clark and also have a great big fat book on Thomas Jefferson; one of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence... if you like history.

             ~Foundations are in history
               ~Roots are in history
                  ~Jesus Christ is in history

History is often times what we use to measure how well we are doing in "Today."

The Past, Again

 Blue  26-6  Ch 12/13  1 Kgs

So what happened was Jeroboam feared that his followers would revert allegiance when they went back to Jerusalem to worship so he used The Past to come up with a strategy by finding something that had worked before.  Problem with that is he didn't use something good, nor was his motive good but rather self-preserving and fearful.  The kind of seed that if planted will get a harvest but you ain't gonna like it.  He made not one, but two golden calves.  Sin works this way.  When sin is not overcome it grows bigger.  Aaron made one calf.  Jeroboam made two.  Aaron gave in to the people.  Jeroboam is afraid of losing his influence over the people.  Either way, faith is the foundation but faith can be used positively or negatively.  v26-28
        
The people recognized something familiar so after Jeroboam declared, "Here are your gods... who brought you up out of Egypt."  It worked!  So he set up one cow in Bethel, the other in Dan. v28-30

How prophetic!  Bethel means house of God.  Dan means judge.
The story deals with worship, only Jeroboam is polluting it by what he is doing because he didn't appoint Levital priests or put GOD as the object of worship so we see judgement is on it's way.  v29-33 

The Man of God shows up in town.  Signs and Wonders begin to happen.  Prophesy breaks out.  Jeroboam is so mad that his plan is backfiring he yells, "Seize him!"  Stretching out his hand, pointing finger toward the Man of God but instead his hand shriveles up and Jeroboam gets real nice about it then asks for prayer to have his hand restored.  The reason Jeroboam got so mad is because what the Man of God prophesied had diretly threatened Jeroboam's neat little plan to self-preserve to keep his status and influence, his security and position- he didn't like it!  After building that altar with all those sacrifices and getting people to follow, the money spent on making the 2 golden cows, when all he really needed to do with his faith was butcher that way of thinking to let the Father hold a feast at His Table for the wayward son who has come home..... that's what the fatten calves are really for... why should he have to waste all that time, money, and effort, on watching his altar split apart?  v1-6



God's ways are easier, contrary to popular opinion!  His burden is still easier and His yoke is lighter.

The Past

 Blue 

~it is actually 12:00am right now and everything i just typed into blog was overwritten because i pushed the wrong button on the autosave but really thought it was the right button.  I hate that function because a dialog box pops up as you are working to ask if you want to save the original version or overwrite it and it's confusing the way the 2 choices are listed because it seems unnecessary to ask when throughout the time the blog is being written i'm saving it a few times already but this happened when i had it nearly finished and it's too late to go back over it to fix it.  It was about Jeroboam, worship, the past, etc... 

Oh Well~   the picture above is the East Wall on the deck that we call the stereo wall; today and the last few days i have been painting white on the bricks around the windows and back door.  Am very tired so will see You tomorrow/today and will try that message again...

Another Update

 Blue  v16  Ch 12  1 Kgs

v16  ...to your tents, O Israel!  Look after your own house, O David!

In the bible this is meant to read another way but i've been doing exactly that ever since computer crashed.  The mini-landscape garden has been filtered, cleaned, and rearranged, also been painting brick design around east exterior wall windows and entry way- it's very needy for improvement!

 Mike went out of town again with Dan, this time over to Kansas fishing at his mom's.

 If you would like to see the near finished progress on our R5 rehab many pictures are there: www.irmstl.com.
Because of the rain, then going out of town, then that high 90 degree heat wave, i have yet to finish the exterior painting and mike needs to wrap some windows; once that is finished the completed exterior pics will be added.

The raccoons have opened their eyes!  Very Cute!
The money came in mail so will need to order that new computer - can't wait to have music again!!

Remember that Jesus Loves You~  When nothing else is important, we know this always is.

ACLJ

 Blue  v4-14  Ch 12  1 Kgs

  ACLU vs. ACLJ
2006 Protest, Washington
A Picture of the ACLU's version of freedom, although most do not agree.

Germany: fine you or put you in prision for up to 3 years.

France: fine you 7,500 + 6 months incarceration.

Ireland: desecration is discouraged but it's not illegal.

Japan: under Ch 4 Article 92 of the criminal code, any
             desecration or symbol to dishonor another
             nation's flag that is recognized is prohibited
             and punished by fine or penal labor if the
             foreign government complains.

Anti-American ACLU: defends bondage under the guise of
                                 liberty; burning your flag is an act
                                 of liberty.
      
Like the wicked advice King Rehoboam received from the young guys he grew up with because he didn't want to listen to the aged elders that had served his wise father (King Solomon)... he accepted the polluted way of handling things then thought he would be getting the people to do what he really wanted but without really serving those people, so it all backfired on him.  The ACLU is this kind of friend, promising freedom and civil liberty but if you could jump forward this is what you would really be hearing and getting, "My little finger is thicker than my father's waist (my freeedom of speech is thicker than the constitution).  My father laid on you a heavy yoke; I will make it even heavier (you thought Christianity was bad, i'm worse just give me a little more time and the fruit from the lie will catch up to prove it, but shuh!  Don't tell anybody because i'm your friend right now).  My father scourged you with whips; I will scourge you with scorpions (o death where is thy sting, oh, it's coming from the aclu, toward all those who didn't see it coming)." v4-14  

You cannot take away self-discipline, self-respect, unity in the community, then hide behind the "i have a right to do what I want to do" mentality because there is a law that let's you have free speech and expression.... because the truth is... you are never going to get away from answering to people... your mother, your boss, your friend, your wife... Even Freedom has a check-in point~


American-Advocate ACLJ: "...private parties have a 1st
                                          Amendment right to put up
                                          the monuments of their
                                          choosing in a city park..."

                                        "...accepting a statue of
                                         liberty does not compel
                                         a government to accept
                                         a statue of Tyranny."

http://www.aclj.org/Cases/default.aspx?Section=120 

*Sometimes there are those that we think are on our side that are really not.  Appearances.

*Sometimes there are those that appear to be our enemy that are really not.  Time exposes many things.

When Jesus found a cause worth dying for, it was His own life He laid down, not someone else's.

Comp News & Story

 Blue v24 Ch 20 Proverbs
 sorry no music yet

Opened bible today, ironically my eyes landed immediately on v24 "A man's steps are directed by the LORD."  Praise God!  Now that's good news when what is happening around you look like mis-steps.  My HP Pavilian crashed again!  For the 3rd time.  Spent several hours on the phone with computer technician updating router, witnessing problems, using remote desktop... our phone call got cut off two different times...  my desktop is a good computer but in the registry there was an unknown user so this is most likely where all the problems were coming from... which would explain why downloading the microsoft.Net.frame from the website didn't work... files were missing, etc... this isn't the first time i've been hacked!  In St. Charles, and back in the day of the E-Machines (667 mHz, 64M ) i had spent 6 hours on the phone, determined to have my computer fixed.  3 hours were spent talking to MSN technicians which took me up to a level 3 tech, then when they couldn't resolve it they transferred the call to a representative from Microsoft and using 3 more hours we discovered or rather admitted that my computer had been hacked.  It was a free computer course for me with hands on experience  ... just like yesterday!  It seems you can learn a lot more a lot faster this way then the class taken in college - which is now completely outdated!  Irony of ironies~  Anyhow, my sister pulled some money out of my credit union savings account that's in Tulsa, OKlahoma so will need to buy new computer... 

It's 10:46pm here and i can hear my neighbor playing music outside; it sounds like that song, "Lean on Me" but i'm not fully sure.  They do not normally do this but something interesting happened to me today when i went outside to get the mail just before 7pm... that neighbor seen me, came over, stood on the sidewalk and asked me as the tears welled up in his eyes if i could do something for him... "Yes, what is it?" I said.  "Could you pray for me, i lost my... my sister died in a fire today, and i've been up at the hospital all day..."

  We held hands out on the sidewalk and prayed in broad daylight.  Then i went back inside and felt like we needed to give something to him because prayer is good but it needs to be more.  So i started looking around my house; wondered if i could give the cheese cake that Basil made for us but thought, 'I can't give that which cost me nothing' and Basil made that for us, that would be rude on top of it, so decided to call Mike since couldn't find anything suitable; Mike went with Dan up to Heartland to help build or put in cabinets for the owners who always let them go deer hunting there and provided the place for them to stay.  So after Mike agreed we gave them $50.00 in a card so they could take their family and get something to eat.  It was too late to cook something for them and i don't really like to do that in these modern times but it is warming that some still do it.  Please see in the midst of pain the beauty here and please don't turn this into that bible scripture that i'm bragging or telling of good works so this is now my only reward, we need to share stories... these are our testimonies, this is real life and it's what happened in real life.  ~It is the song "Lean on Me"  i can hear it playing again... his heart is broken because Bill never acts like this... i wonder if this song reminds him of his sister... and somehow he is letting his emotions sink into the song. 

The praying hands are that which is located in the USA in Tulsa, Oklahoma... Oral Roberts Ministry.  Though i was born and raised in California the first 16yrs of my life, my oldest sister who was 9yrs older got into a lot of trouble and mom didn't want me and Christy growing up around that so when mom seen the praying hands she asked God to please let her go there and He did open the door for us to move to Tulsa but we went to Willie's church.  Church On The Move~

Esteem Wisdom, and she will exalt you...Pro 4:8

v26  Jeroboam rebelled against the king...his mother was 
        a widow named Zeruah.
v28  When Solomon saw how well Jeroboam did his work
        he put him in charge of the whole labor force.

Remember now that the LORD already told Solomon in v11 that He would give the kingdom to one of his subordinates because he didn't follow whole heartedly, but that He would not do it during his lifetime for the sake of his father David, so instead it would be Solomon's son who would experience the kingdom being torn out of his hand (v12).

 Speaking to the Future: Solomon's sin will affect a generation yet to come.  Speaking to the Past: David's righteousness will affect a generation that now is.  Both Past & Future are speaking into Today... v41 all he did and the wisdom he displayed - are they not written...

Learning The Right Way

v9 The LORD became angry with Solomon because his heart had turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, Who had appeared to him twice.  v10 Although He had forbidden Solomon to follow other gods, Solomon did not keep the LORD's command.  v11 So the LORD said to Solomon, "Since this is your attitude and you have not kept My Covenant and My degrees, which I commanded you, I will most certainly tear the kingdom away from you and give it to one of your subordinates.

                                Ouch!  He learned the wrong way~

  One day the mother was baking birthday cookies and said to her child not to touch the stove because it was hot and it will burn her hands, but the child didn't believe her mother fully to simply take her at her word so proceeded toward the stove and touched it hoping to peak on the cookies.  It was HOT!  Startled, the little girl jumped back and screamed in pain as her mother came running in, listening to her daughter repeat how she burned her hand and how it hurts!  The little girl learned not to touch the stove but she learned it the wrong way.  She could have avoided the pain and learned by obeying her mother without the personal and painful experience.

 Walking hand in hand is more about trust and even less about control~

 Caught the end of Rod Parsley on Daystar Television then World Revival Church came on next.  WRC revival started in Smithton-Missouri-USA over a decade ago but was relocated to Kansas City-Missouri-USA and they kept it.  So as we ate dinner we watched people from Georgia-USA, Tulsa-Oklahoma-USA, Germany, El Salvador... getting touched by the power of God.  Then i had to come blog so could feed raccoons afterwards but told Mike to keep watching, it's refreshing.  It wasn't but 2 steps out of the living room when the TV snapped onto a different channel where those fake wrestlers were fighting in the ring.  I couldn't believe it so started to think how he couldn't even wait until i was out of the room so started to back up to check on this in disbelief but right then Mike speaks up, "I didn't touch it."  Instantly i knew this was true but wondered why it had happened?  Wondered why the channel turned to sports.  Why the little icon on the TV screen read something like TV 46...?  Why did it do that?  So this is the thought~  Revival vs. Sports.  Freedom vs. Law.  Because when i see 4 and 6 together i instantly add them to make 10 and number 10 is Law.  It is a wrestling match for those wanting the pleasures of this life instead of paying the price for revival which is where the real freedom to lounge and rest exists~  It is a supernatual war where we choose the world with all of its fake freedom and shallow pleasure or we choose to put things back in place and watch the Spirit of God move in our lives.  We choose the channel we're going to watch~

Raccoons & Squirrels

v22  The king had a fleet of trading ships at sea along with the ships of Hiram.  Once every three years it returned, carrying gold, silver and ivory, and apes and baboons.

Well- we don't have apes and baboons but we do have 4 squirrels and 2 new baby raccoons.  We won't intend to keep the raccoons, only raise them up until old enough to release the boy and girl back into the wild. 

 Sarah is 1 of our 4 squirrels.  Had to take her out of the cage to get a good picture; it's late here so couldn't get good enough pictures of the other 3 (Jacob, Issac, Cypress).  Jacob and Issac are from a pair of triplets.  The runt whom i named Abraham didn't grow so he died.  Faith works like that too.  Cypress is our oldest female - nearly 9 years old.  They live inside of metal cages and cannot be trained with voice command or memory.  You must discern body language and learn to read instincts because they will bite the hand that feeds them.  They have a unique and loving community; the boys lay all over each other, and are very soft.  Both girls let me tickle or massage them while they are relaxing, it's very cute!  No they don't have diseases or rabies, not these 4.

 Very Cute whimpering noises when you feed them~  Animals will be in heaven; horses, lions, sheep... and if ugly snakes get to be there how much more a cute mammalian (they are not rodents)~

v9  Because of the LORD's Eternal Love...
There was so much Presence of love and peace during our visit that after we arrived in Indiana on Sunday and made the introductions, (it's one hour ahead there) we ate a quick dinner before leaving for the prophetic meeting.  After we got home we stayed up until 3 'o clock in the morning just ministering, speaking Jesus, loving and understanding as deep friends while we injected prayers as we sat together on the living room floor.  Boots is the nickname given to Suzanne's mom, she is joyful and precious.  Boots loves to speak about the Lord and can see joy in her eyes.  John Senior is very calm, very solid as a rock within his person and has raised the most loving family that it had blessed me deeply since it's not often you get to see this type of open display of intimacy between a family.  They are very affectionate as seen in Angie hugging on her brother John Allen above.  The girls can still sit on their Father's lap for love and hugs even at the ages of 49 through 55.  There is no rejection in this family only absolute love and adoration for one another while Jesus comes first.  We take time to pray; over meals, over whatever phone call came in and requested prayer; we didn't do anything except talk Jesus from sun up to sun down and we loved it.  Peace is thick in the envirnonment and loving is even stronger, you could tangibly feel it in your spirit how real it was, how natural and innocent.  When John Senior was sitting there i leaned forward to tell him that i'm moving in~  The next day Angie, Suzanne, John Allen and myself drove around Winslow so they could show me the house, schools, church, where the other relatives lived, and how they grew up in this small country town.  John Senior took me on a tour of his large garden and fruit trees.  It is a beautiful story and they are a beautiful family~
