Daily Musings ~ Part 18

Posted on

On June 11th, I was watching some of what was transpiring in California. In praying about this I heard the Lord say, “My sheep hear My voice and the voice of another they will not follow.” (John 10) Then what was happening? I believe in peaceful protest, and though I understand the anger resulting in setting a car on fire, this will be the only thing some see. But I’m speaking to those who are in lockstep with our government rushing to set in motion things we’d see in extreme autocratic governments. Somehow following and allowing a man, Donald Trump, crazed and hellbent in doing whatever he can to achieve his evil quest. Unlike his first term, there are no guide rails to stop him. He’s is surrounded by sycophants who are fully invested in this demonic folly. Proverbs 14:7 warns us to “Stay away from a fool, for you will not find knowledge on their lips.” Jesus said “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” So, who are we following? The Apostle James asked where do wars and fights come from among you? This seems to be all we see. Fighting. Hate. And following those who encourage this.

We are at a breaking point. This is where we are called to stand and immerse ourselves in prayer. Psalm 1:1 says, “Blessed is the man who walks NOT in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful.” So, I asked the Lord again, where are Your sheep? For so many have aligned with this evil in crushing those already downtrodden and are looking for a seat at a table You would overturn. And in all this they wear the label that says “Christian.” I am heavily burdened by this. Yet I pray people wake from their stupor and cast off that which will only ensnare them. That He have mercy even as I see judgement coming. Look to Him only. Those that claim to represent Him you’ll know by their fruit. Do not be unequally yoked with those who follow or embrace Trump as God’s man. He is not. Nor are those who kowtow to him and grovel before him for whatever crumbs keep them at His table. As the Psalmist said in Psalm 1:6, “The Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish.” Blessings.

The doctors were having difficulty trying to keep me stable and keep my LAD vessel open. It finally failed and I went into cardiac arrest for 18 minutes. They immediately had to open my chest up and started performing CPR. For 14 of those minutes, they manually did CPR inside my chest with my heart in their hands. The doctors completed an emergency double by-pass surgery, but then told my family there was still a 50/50 chance that I might not survive. And even though they performed CPR and massaged my heart to keep my blood circulating, there was also a 50/50 chance I could have brain or kidney damage from being in cardiac arrest for so long. Obviously, I survived. But the next week in the hospital was filled with supernatural manifestations of the Lord. I saw things that I won’t get into at this point and had dreams showing me what I would be doing for Him in my life. Throughout my life I felt I knew things ~ sometimes ahead of time. I wrote it off to coincidence or maybe even being psychic. I was always a “believer,” but that was all. After coming home from the hospital in 1992, He spoke to me audibly. I finally said yes to whatever He wanted and had purposed for my life. I know that hearing His voice and ministering prophetically is real and from the right source. I have been doing my best to serve Him for quite a few years. I hope to continue serving in some capacity as long as I have breath.
