One Word and A New Perspective... 

So I sat with my husband, this morning, and had a cup of coffee.  He shared, actually, it might have been yesterday morning.  Yes, weird things start happening when you get older...Sheeesh!!!  So My Hubby shared what he was reading from the Bible.  Duke really has a gift for seeing things that I just read and skip on by...skip on by...wait, what did that say?  He asked what was on my mind and I answered, "Christ's birth, how much I wished Christmas was not the pagan holiday that it is,"; and basically, looking for a way to get rid of the Christmas Blues that had landed on me.  

This year has been really strange.  First of all, my hubby was not supposed to be home at all throughout the month of December. God changed that for which I am very grateful.  Next, no snow...yea, we normally have snow at Christmas time and this year, NADA!  ZIP!  ZERO!  In fact, I think we have been warmer than my family in Florida and down South.  Again odd, and adding to the questions rambling around in my head.  

I've been been researching and learning trying to understand better spiritual warfare and just why things have happened as they have for myself and my family.  So all this rambling to lead back to the discussion my husband and I over the wise men following the star.  First of all, that's a very interesting phrase, following a star.  How do you follow a star?  I have always believed the star to be what is commonly referred to as the North Star.  But if you look at scripture, it does not say 'the North Star.'  It actually says wise men came from the east because they had seen "His Star" in the east.  And this is where my husband interjected and said, "Herod asked them, the wise men, when this had happened - that must mean he (Herod) did not see the star."  'Wow!' I replied.  'How interesting! I've always assumed the star would be visible to everyone.'  He then said, "Well obviously he (Herod) did not see the star and you know star also means messenger."  'Ummmm, well no, I did not know that.' I answered.  

This led me to do more research on the Star which I always thought it to be The North Star.  Indeed, if you look it up, you will find references to:  The North Star, The Eastern Star and the Star of Bethlehem.  Hmmm, very interesting...This led to some more of what appears to be traditions or maybe just falling so blindly, as us humans do, in to familiarity - i.e.  We adopt names without doing the research.  At least I do and it's something I need to stop doing and start doing better at READING MY BIBLE.  Now it gets really interesting because tracking back to Numbers 24:17, we find a reference to a Star shall arise out of Jacob.  

Now at this point I have to tell you I am very thankful and grateful for the Bible scholars who have learned Hebrew and Greek and know how to exegesis scripture for people like me.  I read an article on The North Star - learning of its value as a navigational tool for travelers.  But as I was reading different articles on specifically The North Star, The Eastern Star and the Star of Bethlehem I noticed they were discounting the Bible and it was more commonly thought of as 'a celestial event' that happened.  I do not believe this to be the case.  It's okay if you disagree with me and it's okay if I disagree with you.  We can discuss this or agree to disagree and still remain kind, friendly, and learn and grow, right?  RIGHT!!! 

I fully believe that because the Bible says - 

Mat 2:8  And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. 
Mat 2:9  When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. 
Mat 2:10  When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

Ummm, you'll have to do your own research for the Eastern Star.  

This all got me to thinking on how I had come to think of the Star of Bethlehem as The North Star or worse, people referencing the Eastern Star.  Traditions?  Traditions that make void the Word of God.  My mind went to Pentacost.  Jesus tells them in Luke to stay until they are endued with power from on high.  

Luke 24:49  And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. 

which we see picked up in Acts Chapter 2...

Act 2:1  And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 

Act 2:2  And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 

Act 2:3  And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 

Act 2:4  And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 

Again, it appears they could see the fire, they could see the cloud of fire, and the wise men could see the star, however, Herod could not.  And the story of others around did not know what to think about what they were seeing in the upper room.  Then believe it or not, the next day the word familiarity kept popping up and in conversations.  Accountable, we are all accountable for what we know.  Thank God He is merciful and works with us where we are at in our knowledge of Him and His ways which He reveals to us.  

I awoke today feeling really Blah!  Just Blah!  I heard an awesome sermon on the importance of prophecy.  It was really encouraging, just like God, and all of a sudden I realized I was dealing with a spirit of depression.  I'm so thankful for the Faithful!  Because they were faithful, I was blessed and God is still teaching me discernment.  I thought I was having a 'bad attitude' and just needed to pull myself up by the bootstraps so to speak.  After the Lord revealing it was an attack from the enemy trying to put depression on me, I was able to resist and it was sent packing.  OFF THE PROPERTY IN THE NAME OF JESUS!  The day went much better.  The slight nausea, fatigue, and blah-ness had dissipated and left.  Thank you, Jesus!  

This post is long and rambling and it is probably my New Year's post for 2026 - Anybody want to have a pray in the New Year Meeting?  I'm leaving some of the things I have been researching in the past.  Accountable, moving forward at God's direction and being obedient to God are on my horizon. Now is the time if you want to be off my friend list, please let me know.  I'm leaving the past hurts and pains in the past.  Not so much research to understand what happened as God has so very aptly taught me "spiritual warfare," - as much as I can, the trauma events are being left in the past. The attacks of the enemy cannot stop what God has ordained for me.  God has confirmed to me over and over things that the enemy had convinced me, "You did not hear from God, you were just being you."  I'm happy to say that "No, I was not being me, I really was hearing from God, and God has so confirmed it to me that I'm going to keep on being obedient to Him.  No matter what comes!"  

Reflection.... 

This time of year always has me...

questioning do I or don't I...Do I post some of my favorite Christmas pictures? Do I participate in (GASP) Pagan traditions? I really care.  God has been pulling at my heart about being completely devoted to Him.  How serious am I about my walk with Jesus...

I spent most of today looking up Bible verses and trying to do a word study on:  Feast Days, Festivals, Commanded, Command, Altar, Groves, Tammuz, leading on to pagan 'holy' days, pagan calendar, yada yada yada.  Yep, it led me right back to where I was - No, I cannot in good conscious celebrate Christmas.  Not if I want to be in right relationship (friendship) with God.  

Hear me out.  I'm not judging you or saying you cannot celebrate Christmas, but I am saying you might want to decide how serious it might be for you to celebrate Christmas and all of the days that somehow have crept in to the Church - and are not Christian at all in their roots.  

If people only knew the pain this causes and the strength it takes to stand firm in it, they would support rather than tell someone "you're just taking this too seriously."  Too seriously, eh??? You mean, like you might not get in to Heaven because you didn't take a look at it, seriously?? Ummmm....No!  Talk to the hand.  And don't judge me for what God has placed on me and asked me to do.  I can hear the words ringing now from my Pastor friend, "It'll cost you your life to be a Christian."  

Did anybody notice how there was like no reference to Thanksgiving this year?  One Holiday that the Church should celebrate although we really should have 'thanks giving" every day.  Thank you, Jesus, that you died for a sinner like me.  Thank you for saving me.  And now we're on to Christmas.  I had already made the transition to celebrating Hannukah (Festival of Lights) and after all, Jesus is the Light of the world.  But even that, I wanted to know more about the feasts and could I just put up Christmas lights?  

As I researched, again, resource after resource seemed to verify - No.  No you cannot separate paganism out of Christmas.  The analogy is very much like the story we learned when I was home schooling my children.  You know, the one about baking cookies and putting just the teeniest, tiniest dog poo, yea you heard that right, putting the smallest amount of dog doo doo in your chocolate chip cookies.  It doesn't matter does it?  I mean it's just only the smallest amount. You won't taste it or smell it.  You should have seen my children' faces on that one....ummmm, NO!!!! EWWWW!!!  NO WAY!  It seems that it does matter.  And before someone accuses me of putting dog poo in their cookies, No, I haven't and No I don't.  An analogy is just a story to hit home the point you are trying to make in your narrative.  You know 'unpack' that sucker and let it sit there and think on it.  Selah!  

So you gotta ask yourself a question?  "Self, do you think God really doesn't care that you call a holiday after his son's title "Christ" and say it's His birthday, (It's not!) and it's really the celebration of his arch enemy ??? "  Do you really think God is okay with that?  Deep in my heart I'm feeling no, I don't think He is okay with that at all.  And of all years, I feel resonating somewhere deep in me that this year, this year just might be the one that you want to have everything absolutely right with God.  I want to be like Abraham.  I want God to say of me, I'm His friend.  

I pray peace and wealth and health for all of you, friends and family, but more than that, I pray to have you join me in a journey for a closer relationship to our Lord and Savior, Jesus.  Keep looking up.  The signs appear to be that His return is soon, but as the Bible tells us "No man knows the day or hour," and there is a lot going on that points to prophecy being fulfilled - don't risk missing Him if you do not know Jesus.  The time is now.  John 3:16  King James Bible
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

 THE HEADLESS SNAKE...

Spiritual Warfare in the Body of Christ

Lately, I have been made aware that the Lord is teaching me spiritual warfare.  I cannot say it has been an easy lesson.  I 'feel' as though I have been in the fight of my life.  Let's just say, "I'm smelling of the smoke and ashes."  Thankful to be alive but feeling somewhat down as I said to self, "Self, you could have done better if you'd had recognized sooner what was going on here."  Hubby said to me as two or three others and I have even said to myself, "How can you learn it unless you go through it?"  It's not a question for an answer as much as a question to make you stop and think.  Stop and look at things.  To stop reacting in your feelings and emotions, and began to discern what is really going on in a situation.  This is not so easy to do.  Most of the time, events are flung at us and we react and then we react to the reactions and we see the rippling rip tide effect of our emotions and feelings in action.  Can we say the whole world right now is just one big chaotic frazzled mess....I know I brush my hair and 5 minutes later, I'm looking like I've been through an electrical static field or something and my hair is just sticking out everywhere.  Where is that calm, cool, collected person I used to be?  Self, we really gotta get back to our peace and joy.  Lord, help me keep my oil lamp full.  

So my latest battle has been my back going out.  I have, throughout my lifetime, experienced horrible episodes of my back going out.  I always thought this was related to an injury I sustained when I was 21 years old.  The first time it happened, I was in really bad shape.  They had to give me three or four pain shots and muscle relaxers to get it to release.  I went to a healing service with the Hunters, anybody remember the Hunters?  They prayed and I did get better.  So much so that the chiropractor I was going to gave me a verdict of "you are healed."  Thank you, Jesus, I will take it.  However, from time to time, I would have events where my back would spasm and cinch up.  But, instead of two weeks as before, it was for a day and then would be fine.  Hallelujah, I'll take it, Jesus!  When the events would happen, the words coming out of my mouth were/are:  "It's the worst pain I have ever had in my life."  I'm in my sixties now.  A long time away from that 21 year old young lady, and a lot of water under the bridge.  In the course of tryng to learn what was wrong with me and trying to fix myself, I finally had a lab analysis that showed Hereditary Coproporphyria.  Well, now, it really is in Jesus' hand because He's the only one who can fix a gene mutation.  What I did not realize was that the back spasms and pain that I thought were from an injury turns out to be part of this dysfunction of your body making heme.  It's a long and convoluted process that I'm not going to get in here, suffice to say - The Battle is on!  Fighting for my healing by watching my words and what I'm saying...Hey, that's gonna make a great song!  You get what you speak.  I'm speaking I'm healed.  1 Peter 2:24.  

So about a month ago now, my back went out. All I was doing was washing the dishes.  Did not pick up anything heavy, like a big 'ole pot, just standing there rinsing a dish off and putting in the dishdrainer.  Yep, slide, spasms, and the worst pain I have ever felt in my life triggering all the memories so many years ago.  Funny thing was my hubby and I had started a Bible study the day before determing more and more to devote time to the Lord together and do what should have been done many years ago consistently rather than the on and off, hit and miss events that we have been guilty of or the enemy has us engaged in...the battle and struggles are real.  In praying and studying, especially about obtaining your healing and seeking the Lord, and the whys, Lord, why?  I had confirmation of it being spiritual warfare.  I had a dream.  I had an answer in prayer.  I had a friend convey a message to my husband explaining - which anybody who has gone through this process of refining saying "ARMOR UP!  IT'S SPIRITUAL WARFARE!"   As hubby and I were praying, I saw a snake - the Lord spoke and told me, "It's a spirit of python."  I saw the snake loosen from around the base of my spine.  I was like, 'not good enough, I want it completely gone.'  I did not see the head.  All I saw was the body.  And I was like, okay, I'm going to go look and see about a python spirit in the Bible because anything you are shown, you really should back it up with Bible.  I had heard about a python spirit many times but really did not know the reference or what it was referring to per se.  I wanted to be sure it wasn't just a name someone had thrown at something.  You know, searching out the truth...so I went to my Bible resources and sure enough, there it was.  Remember the story where Paul is trying to preach the Gospel and the girl kept interrupting and finally Paul had enough and cast the spirit of divination out of her.  Well, that particular word in the Greek is python.  👀  Really, Lord?  Really!!!  So from e-sword.net  the Greek word for divination is listed below: 

Acts 16:16  G4436
Πύθων
Puthōn
poo'-thone
From Πυθώ Puthō (the name of the region where Delphi, the seat of the famous oracle, was located); a Python, that is, (by analogy with the supposed diviner there) inspiration (soothsaying): - divination. 

so their false god was a python snake.  The next day I'm watching a video and I have to say Dr. Michael Lake and his wife, Mary Lou, have really been encouraging to me lately.  She and I have similar events and things happening.  When you hear a like-minded believer going through and succeeding with crises in life, it helps to hear their overcoming victory.  Especially when you 'feel like' you are losing your mind and everything is being ripped away from you.  A healing that you thought you had, but I did have a healing.  I also found out information that helps me battle my enemy better.  Know your enemy and know how he operates, the words my Pastor would say ringing through my head as I'm seeking the Lord through this battle.  You can find the link to one of their videos here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6ADgJFBfv4  at Biblical Life TV.

This time of healing has been slower and longer.  I'm asking the Lord, why? why?  I need to be up and productive and able to get done the things I need to get finished.  Again, more videos, this time from Now You See TV on youtube.  I watched this video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1wcWVAXR4w    and this video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJtn380yTHs  

Now I do not recommend these two videos unless you are really grounded in your Bible.  But I do believe a mature, well grounded Christian should have no fear of being able to answer questions and these kinds of questions are going to come.  After watching the second video, let's just say the dots connected for me.  Done...but again, spirit of python.  Confirmation, spiritual war, battle, fight the fight of faith, train.  Warriors train.  They train to win!  The great thing about being a believer in Christ is 'You don't have to fight!"  Well, you do, but it's not the way a typical fight goes.  I read God's Word, I believe what it says.  I do not speak against what the Bible says and having done all I know to do, I stand on that promise!  How easy can that be?  Well, almost too easy to  believe, but it's the truth!  So I watch another video and again someone calls out the snake.  I'm like...No way, God!  Really? "Really!" He replies.  Okay, Okay....I'm understanding....Spiritual warfare, preparation and readiness for what is coming.  What is coming the church is not ready for and the church needs to get ready.  Go back to your foundation and roots.  Strengthen that foundation.  Believe God.  Believe what He says and do what He tells you to do.  It's the only way.   The only way through is with Jesus Christ!  

The pain is getting better.  I'm moving a little easier and hopefully, I'll be back to baseline with no residual nerve damage from those nasty little porphyrins, but I'm also standing  on "No weapon formed against me shall prosper!"  God made this body, He can make this body work correctly. I just need to trust.  The real battle is in the spiritual realm.  You know, that ole devil, he's always imitating God trying to pervert what God established.  So satan has a triune - what was revealed to me was - the spirit of leviathan, the spirit of jezebel, and the python spirit.  Know your enemy, know how he operates.  My Bible says: satan is way beneath us.  That he is under our feet.  Christ chopped off his head.  Hence, the headless snake.  He's defeated and he is going about like the roaring lion looking for who he may devour.  You have to give him permission.  He can't do a thing to you.  If he is, you need to check yourself because you have given him permission somewhere and if you give him an inch, he will take a mile.  I'm examining and going through events in my life.  Making changes and corrections, but I'm not backing down or backing up.  I'm standing and resisting speaking scriptures.  Scriptures that state the outcome.  I'm victorious.  I'm an overcomer!  Come on, Believers!  ARMOR UP!   We know how this battle ends!  Hallelujah!  All glory, honor and power to our God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.  Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!

 I am not a person prone to dreams and I know I married a prophet.  How? God told me so.  My hubby is a very busy person in his job, very diligent.  He cares about the smallest things, indeed, some of them have driven me up a wall as his wife.  I look forward to the day where he can walking in his calling.  In the meantime, this is scary for me.  I do not like this.  It is uncomfortable, but I trust the Lord and I will obey the Lord.  

Again I woke up to a voice...My first reading of asking the Lord what He wanted to say led me to Revelation 8.  The voice I had heard stated "The voices rejected will now be heard." As I sat to seek Jesus this morning, and began to write ...

The voices of rejection have reached the ears of God and He wants you to know He has heard and He says, "Speak! Speak the truth!  Do NOT take vengence for vengence is mine saith the Lord.  But tell, tell your experiences.  The weights are in balance.  To those who have rejected them saying "This is not God.  Why would God pick them?" I say to you, "You thought my obedient servents were loud and you told them to be quiet.  I am turning them loose.  I am turning loose those who will be loud and who will be heard.  For those who are obedient and have been obedient I have heard and answered.  It is now up to you to obey.  The boldness of God - You have it!  The fire of God - You have it!  Continue in spending time with me and seeking me.  The prophets will judge the prophets.  You will know the true from the false by their fruits.  Do they seek to please me or others?  You will know them by their love for me and their love for my body.

 To Obey is Better Than Sacrifice....

Had a dream two days ago.  In it, I was having to choose.  I was upset -  the choice to "obey God," or choose to follow my own choice.  I woke up - asking questions.  I was confused, not sure...I knew the decision was crucial and I wanted to "obey the Lord" but both choices seemed that they could be "God's Way."  I knew my answer lay in God's Word.  I was then reminded of past events.  Events where God had already proved to me that "to obey Him (His Word) is better than sacrifice."  So I wake up this morning having a dream and again, the person in my dream was a reminder of an event where the choice "to obey is better than sacrifice" was really cemented in my life...a life pivoting moment teaching the concept of draw the line and do not cross it moment in my life. Again, confirmation of "it is better to obey than sacrifice."  I have been making an attempt to solidly meet with the Lord first thing in the morning.  Read His Word, take time to hear from Him.  I was directed to Ezekial 3 and OH MY!!!  As I began I was asking "Lord, is this me?"  Again, I was reminded about the "ink bag." I believe it is in Chapter 8, (it was Chapter 9) but by Chapter 35, I put down my Bible and was looking for breakfast.  Pondering just what the Lord was trying to say to me and asking.  A video came across my path and I felt prompted to watch the video.  The video happened to be Melissa Redpill.  I had thought my husband had said she was a 'schill' but he did not remember saying that to me when I asked him to read this word, judge it and should I share it...see I do confer to my husband... and did not remember watching her.  However, that aside, she had some good points in her video about control and manipulation.  I disagree with her stance on Israel.  God is not done with Israel.  The church has not replaced Israel.  It's another topic for another day, but I felt like the Lord was saying, "Write." It's always scary as the penalty in the Old Testament was death to a false prophet, and none of us (I'm not a prophet) None of us want to be put to death for trying to give a message we feel the Lord is putting on our hearts to say.  Here goes...

"Behold, you have traded your blessing for a curse.  You chose to believe another way instead of my ways.  Repent! Repent! Your help comes from the Lord - Not man's logic or wisdom.  Stop striving! (my thoughts - Oh Lord, help me! This is scary. I do not want this.) God is looking.  Who will step up?  Who will follow Him?  No matter the sacrifce.  His logic is not man's logic.  It does not make sense, but God knows the end from the beginning.  Who will obey?  Who will do the right thing? Who will seek the Lord to "hear" His voice.  To obey is better than sacrifice.  The Feast of Trumpets is past.  It will now be a solemn feast.  No more rejoicing, but a wailing for you were warned.  Repent!  You thought to hide your sins saying "see, no one will know."  But I tell you God knows for He sees all and knows all.  Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess "Jesus Christ is Lord."  God is gathering His people.  He is not going to have a tainted, dirty bride.  His bride is spotless.  Who will hear the voice of the Lord?  Who will obey?  To obey is better than sacrifice.  

 Have you ever heard a sermon on hemorrhoids? Or, 

how's your emerods doing????

Never have I ever, in all of my years walking with Christ ever heard a pastor, teacher, prophet, evangelist or a minister mention hemorrhoids in their sermons.  I have my wonderful hubby to thank for this post today.  He ordered a book "God Shock" or something like that for the title.  I cannot tell you who wrote it or if that is the correct title, but he read a short blip from the book to me and yes, the Bible talks about hemorrhoids.  I ran to find my Bible and look it up and right there it was, in plain black lettering ink on the white page.  

If you turn to 1 Samuels 6 and start reading you will find the Phillistines had the Ark of the Covenant.  They had had the Ark long enough that they were having issues and they wanted to get rid of their issue.  The priests gave them specific insturctions for dealing with sending the Ark away from their presence and they needed to do to receive their healing.  

As I read this passage, I laughed and laughed.  I just got a glimpse of God's humor.  Now some will say, that's not what that word means, but if you look it up and consider the context of the first few verses I believe it is exactly what it means, i.e. emerods = hemorrhoids.  The other meaning totally does not fit what is being talked about in the opening of the sixth chapter of 1 Samuel.  They had to make an image of their 'emerods' and send it along with some other things in the Ark.  This brought a whole new meaning to xerox copying your rear-end on the copier at work moment.  Okay, I'm taking captive those thoughts, saying Thank You to the Lord for the best chuckle I have had in a while all while thinking about all the different ways they may have attempted this task of 'making an image of their emerods.'  

"Hey, my friend, could you look at my rear end and draw a picture of it?"  'Uh, NO!'

So there you have it, the Bible does talk about hemorrhoids.  I almost felt sorry for the Phillistines, almost...Don't mess with God and don't mess with His Ark.  

Beware Strange Food!!!

My blogging today includes another validation/confirmation that I am hearing and being obedient to the Lord to do His will.  It's hard when people have attacked you so much that you do begin to doubt that you are hearing from Jesus.  And to be honest, it's not the people, it's the devil trying to get you off track.  They really get offended then because they're a Christian and how could the enemy ever be operating in them?  Right?? Ever met one of THOSE people.  The reality is we can all be one of those people.  

So a few months ago, I got in trouble.  I mean I really got in trouble for giving a word for the Lord.  The Pastor called me and wanted to ask some questions.  It wasn't said outright so much but it did feel like a threat or an intimidation to do what they said or you will not be allowed to come here anymore.  Questions asked were confusing and I just did not understand why is it so hard for them to understand what God was saying, "Repent! Repent!  You lie, you cheat!  You Steal!  You talk about people and say all manner of things about them which are not true!  I want to spend time with you.  Repent and come back to me."  It is essentially what I remember of the word and if I had known I was going to say that, I would not have said it.  

I felt very validated yesterday.  I watched the youtube video put out by Kim Clement's daughter, Donnae Petruske (probably spelling her name wrong) which Kim had given over Paula White.  It was from 2009.  In his message, just a few minutes after he had prophecied over Pastor White, Kim made the statement about how "He did not want to do this.  And you have no idea, how many times he had asked God to take his gift of prophecy away.  He did not want it."  I totally related to that moment.  The confirmation of "If I had known I was going to say that, I would not have given it."  He is explaining how God does not let us know what He is doing because if we did, we would not do it or say it.  That's kind of like God and exactlty how He does things.  I felt more validation and confirmation as I was asked if I was able to 'control'when this happens to make it more acceptable to the 'church gathering.'  Ummmm, no, I can control it like - not say it.  But when God says, "Say it."  There is no delay,.  It's "Yes Sir!  Right now."  And I never know when it's going to happen.  Kim again relayed that he did not know when or if God would move, when or if he would have any thing to say and that anyone wanting that is trying to control the prophecy, to put God in a box, control God.  Well, yes, that is exactly what happened.  I understood in an instance and if I could go back and have that phone conversation I would say to them, watch Kim's video.  Take heed the warning.  God is warning you.  As for me, I'm going to be obedient to Jesus and say what He says to say when He says to say it.  That's all I can do because I want to hear the words, "Well done thou good and faithful servant!"  

Now on to the dream - So lately I have been asking God to meet me.  I'm not a person prone to dreams or remembering them, whatever goes on in that process.  However, lately I have been praying before I go to sleep, Lord meet me in my sleep.  I want to hear your words.  I want to know what you want me to know and say what you want me to say.  This morning I woke up hearing the words "Beware the Strange Food!"  I was in the middle of a dream.  You know that weird thing where you are literally waking up from a dream, hearing God speaking to you while trying not to forget what you were doing or where you were at in the moment...

So another couple and my husband and myself were at an event that had just ended.  We all were very hungry and decided to try out this new place in town.  We were seated and the host was serving us cereal (appetizers).  It was new.  It was hopping, busy, busy, busy.  He had a bright shiney white teeth smile and the colors were amazing.  I was kind of amuzed because of what was being served, cereal...I was so hungry and I was looking around for a menu because I wanted more, something meatier...you know really hungry.  I thought to myself if all I'm getting is cereal then I want my favorite which I haven't had for years due to an allergy to bananas.  I was gonna having banana walnut cereal.  

The host came back but in the process changed, not that I saw it, but it just changed in the moment and the waitress was standing there ready to take our orders.  I was frustrated at this point as I wanted to see a menu.  I had been asking questions and she seemed to be irritated that I was asking questions.  I kept asking for a menu because others were ordering but I could not figure out the ordering menu system and I yet to see a menu.  The host had not given us one; there were not any on the table as is the custom nowdays, and the waitress had not given us any menus.  I continued asking questions and she really seemed irritated and finally handed me a menu.  I chuckled at this point because I was confused.  The menu was no menu.  I looked at it and it had only two sections.  One was appetizers (cereals) and the other was chicken.  No prices. No other food choices.  At this point I again heard a loud voice say, "Beware strange food!"  

Immediately, the Lord began to give me bullet points:  

1.  Question everything.  Don't let it bother you if they get upset.  I don't mind questions. ( my after thoughts - Now, isn't that so much like God? )

2.  Look for details and specifics.  There will be details - The absence of prices, products, missing parts of the menu and I realized the menu was symbolizing the Holy Bible.  Their menu was fake representing half truths, lacking details and specifics.  God's Word is very clear and while not always so readily understandable and needing input from the Holy Spirit to help us understand, guide us, or teach us.  He always has patience with us, does not mind our questions, and He wants us to search and search, never getting upset with us for asking for clarification or understanding.

3.  Beware strange food - Heed the warning.  Search, seek, ask questions of everything, and know that God does not mind you asking.  He does mind you doubting, but He does not mind you asking for clarification.  It is only by knowing God's Word that is going to keep you safe going forward.  It is up to us to know God's Word by spending time in it and seeking answers, spending time in prayer, doing the things God has instructed us in His Word.
