Morning Meds with Izzy Herriette & Co - Wednesday - MAR 30, 2011 -

Watching this movie again, after not seeing it in quite some time, I picked up on something I hadn't seen in my previous viewing. At the end when the boy finally passes away, and I watched his friend touch the dead body where once was warmth, love and vibrancy of LIFE, it hit so hard that the "body apart from the spirit is dead"!

James 2:26 - For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Oh my!

Can we really imagine all of this? All of the "operations" of the Almighty?

Job 37:1 - At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place.

Job 37:16 - Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?

Job 37:23 - Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power; ...

My meditations today, will be upon that "spirit" that is within me - that living, breathing, life - alive in this earthen vessel. How fast do I move and not give it any thought at all? How do we function everyday, without even acknowledgment of the marvel of it all? How can it be that my spirit makes my body to know LIFE? When my spirit leaves this body, it falls into decay, corruption and ultimately into a vapor. How can this be?

Some of us live as though we are already dead. We are cold and unresponsive. We are deaf, dumb and blind. We are hard. We are even, as it were, waxen old.

Father, today, let us meditate on LIFE! Lord, you've given us this precious and powerful GIFT! Let us not miss the "grandeur"! Let us not live out our lives, apart from truly living life out, in the manner in which you intended when you gave it so freely and so wondrously to us!

Psalm 139:6 - Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

Psalm 139:14 - I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

Does your soul know this "right well" - today?

You will have a far better day when you begin to meditate this way!

Psalm 42:11 - Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance and my God.

Hebrews 11:1 - Now faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen.

1 John 5:5,6 - For whatseover is born of God, overcometh the world; and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God.

Are you looking for "hope" out there today? Whatever you do, don't look to the world to give it to you! We are no longer of this "world," the scripture tells us. Our hope is an eternal one, that lays hold of that eternity and the benefits thereof, in the now, while we are yet in this present body.

Today, if you need hope, look to the One who created all things and has all power available unto you by your faith to believe.

Psalm 103:1,2 - Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.

Today, meditate on Him and His words to you. Fill yourself full to overflowing with what He says to and about you. Do not allow the devil, through any person or form he may come to you in, to steal away from you, all that the Father has laid up in store for you as His child.

Press in on Him. Press in on His Word. Stand firm. Stand strong. Call those things forth that are not as though they already were - by faith! Call upon Him, with His own words of promise to you! He will hear you and He will be quick to answer you. He loves you and is in covenant relationship with you. He will never leave you, nor forsake you. He is with you to the end. Whatever you have need of, He has it covered for you! He lacks nothing and in Him you lack no good thing. He waits for you to call upon His Word. It gives Him pleasure to give you the Kingdom that He has promised to you. He desires to give to you, all that you have need of and to keep you unto Himself unto that day. Don't be deceived by the "world"! The world can't give to you what the Heavenly Father can, and will, if you will put your complete and full confidence in Him.

John 10:10 - The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Lay hold on that abundant life promised you! I am standing in prayer, faith and HOPE, with you today. You will enter therein! We can go together! That, to me, is exciting.

Blessings

Morning Meds with Izzy Herriette & Co - Monday - MAR 28, 2011 -

Have you ever done something in your life that was so "off the wall / goofy"; well, it was actually "sin"? Afterwards you recognized your error, only to also realize that it could not be corrected? Sort of like the spoon STUCK to your nose?

The LORD knows how many of us, hopefully, truly do desire to follow Him in all His ways and yet some days ...

We can know the things that need changing in our lives but what we need to grasp hold of, in an even greater measure, is the truth that "in HIM" we can do all things in the way we need to; we don't need to be lied to about that.

Choose not to be the "goon stuck to the spoon" today!

Deuteronomy 30:15,16 - See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil. In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply; and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.

Deuteronomy 30:19,20 - I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live. That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy father, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

Load up on those meditations from the Word of God that you may prosper in all that you put your hands to!

Blessings.

Morning Meds with Izzy Herriette & Co - Wednesday - MAR 23, 2011 -

Early this morning, as I was browsing through my facebook photo albums, I spotted this particular picture and it stopped me.

The minute my eyes fell on this photo, I heard these words from the song the LORD gave me back in 1979, the one that He called me into ministry with:

Come with me and see that I have made a way for you
Come with me and I will show you
What you are to do
Come with me and I will take you
Where the waters flow
Come with me and I will show you
Where you are to go

It would be wonderful if I could say that I walked every moment and all through those thirty years "where the waters flowed". However, I haven't always remained in "that place" with HIm.

To walk in what the LORD has ordained for each of us takes much discipline and determination. To attain unto those places, will require us to "throw off" anything and everything that would come to steal us away from our appointed position/posture in Him.

Another line from another song given me:

I've got peace like a river flowin' through me
Honey, that ain't nothin' that the world gave to me
Joy in the mornin' when I open my eyes
'Cause one more time I realize ...

Psalm 23:1,2 - The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures, he leadeth me beside still waters ...

"He maketh me ... He leadeth me ..." are in a literal sense and at the same time - conditional; as are all promises of God to His own.

Hebrews 4:1,2 - Let us therefore fear; lest a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them; but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

These things will come to our lives, first, through our "faith"!

Here's a perfect little illustration of forfeiting your peace/waters. This is another personal experience of mine with the LORD:

I was standing in my bedroom one morning, completely tormented and frustrated. I was very, very concerned about my spiritual well being, due to my disturbed mental state at that time. I asked the LORD, "LORD, where is my peace? Why don't I have peace anymore? Where are you, LORD?" To that He responded, "Ginger, where are your clothes that you took off last night?" I was completely thrown by that irrelevant question! Then He continued on, "Where did you put your clothes last night?" I reluctantly answered back, "Well, LORD, they're right over there on the chair!" To that He kindly and patiently continued, saying, "What if you want to wear them again? What will you do? Won't you just walk over there, pick them up and put them back on again? That is what you must do with everything I've given you! Just pick it up and put it on again and again and again!" Amazing! As you can well imagine, I was deeply satisfied with His instructions.

What, of the LORD's blessings to you, have you taken off and laid down somewhere? Why don't you put it back on and wear it, once again, today?

Ephesians 4:22-24 - That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; and be renewed in the spirit of your mind; and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Did you ever watch the movie KARATE KID? You'll remember the line: Wax on. Wax off. Wax on. Wax off. (Only in reverse in this instance.)

ENJOY your DAY in HIM!

Morning Meds with Izzy Herriette & Co - Tuesday - MAR 22, 2011.

Ah! I see ... you're having trouble seeing clearly ... still?

You've read the Word of God ... seen what it says about you ...

Why is it you seemingly can't break through ... attain to that 20/20 view?

I'll never forget a story a dear pastor/friend shared with me. He had just gotten new bifocals and upon walking up the stairs to the platform that Sunday morning; he misread the steps and fell flat on his face before the entire congregation! OH, MY!

Do you ever feel as though that may be exactly what you're doing in getting those "steps right" with the Word of God?

Let me encourage us all today:

Romans 12:2 - And be not conformed to this world; but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.

Psalm 19:14 - Let the words of my mouth, and the meditations of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength and my redeemer.

It's interesting to learn that in the original Hebrew meaning of the word "priesthood" ... is this saying ... "step ... step ... step ...". In other words, the Priest teaches the people by encouraging them in repetition! Just like a dance recital. Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse. Continual practice of the very same steps ... over and over and over again!

Philippians 4:13,14 - Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark of the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Take that "mirror" that we spoke of yesterday, in Morning Meds, and hold it up to the enemy! Tell him to have a good long look at who God has created you to be. Tell him to "STEP ASIDE - as you MOVE PAST HIM AND ONTO YOUR NEW SELF - IN CHRIST"!

Let your steps be ordered of the LORD this week! AMEN!

Keep those glasses "clean" ... so you're not stumbling in your steps. I don't want to hear anymore "horror stories" ... ok?

Today, as you contemplate your future, your past, yourself - ALAS - choose to see it all through God's looking glass.

Have you ever given much thought to how people see you, how you see yourself or how everyone's view of every image under the sun can be so completely different?

Who has the accurate definitive of anything?

I love walking into dressing rooms where the mirrors "elongate" my physique. Then I have to question, "Now, is this what I truly look like or do I look like the mirror at home portrays?" Which one is truthful? (By the way, those mirrors in those dressing rooms; I've threatened to tear down from the walls and carry straight home with me.)

It is vital for us to comprehend that God has the one and only perfect answer for who we are, how things are, and the way things are to be - purely. With Him there is only "one" precise evaluation for all things:

2 Corinthians 1: 18-21 - But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay. For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you, by us, even by me ... was not yea and nay, but in him was yea. For all the promises of God in him are yea. and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

James 1:17 - Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil. To give you an expected end.

Our problems in life don't begin with God but with our lack of understanding over what God's mind is towards us! Once we come to the knowledge of God's view of us then we must decide whether or not we believe it:

Isaiah 7:9 - ... If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established.

In order to receive what God has promised for our lives we must remove every opposing opinion!

Romans 8:8,9 - For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and pace. Because the carnal mind is at enmity (opposition) against God, for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

I'm trying to help us, here, today! We'd better grab hold of that mirror of God, take it home with us and allow it alone, to tell us who we truly are and what our future will be!

James 1:23-25 - For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a mirror. For he beholdeth himself and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he is. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

Are you seeing what I'm seeing; accurately? Are you getting the right picture, here?

How's the view from your "window" this morning?

Morning Meds with Izzy Herriette & Co - Sunday - MAR 20, 2011.

What do we spend our lives on? At the end of the day, what of all of it, will matter?

How much do you speak of the LORD throughout your day?

How often do you care about the righteousness and/or the wickedness in the land?

Hear what GOD says will be of importance to Him and to you:


Malachi 3: 13-18 -

13) Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?

14) Ye have said, It is vain to serve God; and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?

15) And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.

16) Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.

17) And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.

18) Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.


I pray today, that your words are not "stout against Him" but that you are reasoning with Him each and every day, to learn what things are good, right and beneficial to him and to yourself as well.


Be blessed! Follow His words.

With blessing comes responsibility:

Ephesians 1:3 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.

Luke 3:8 - Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance ...

Ephesians 4:1 - I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith you are called ...

Luke 12: 48 - ... For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required; and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

It is so wonderful to know that God promises to "build us," and in ways that are "elaborate and imposing". It is also a benefit to us to realize and recognize that God does require us to be faithful with what He pours into in our lives.

Matthew 25:23 - His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant, thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things; enter thou into the joy of the Lord.

I truly believe that many in the Church today, representing themselves as followers of God, actually carry about in their beings very little "fruit" that would bear record to that fact!

As is with every "blessed thing" given us in this life, there is an accompanying expectation that we will care for that blessing in a good and proper manner. I doubt highly that we will continue to have much given, on any level in life, apart from excellent stewardship being shown over what's already been given.

My family didn't always care for this lesson of stewardship in life and that's because they didn't want to have to take care of too much. Many whom I've ministered to over the years, found this part of "blessing," to be one that they couldn't swallow and therefore snubbed their noses at it, as well as at the blessings, and walked away.

Here is a wonderful promise I will leave with you for the endurance required to continue to receive from Him:

Galatians 6:9 - And let us not be weary in well doing; for in due season we we shall reap, if we faint not.

Don't you go about "fainting" on me; hear?

Be a dedicated recipient of every blessing that God desires to bestow upon your life! Appreciate Him and His works. Take care of everything, in a way that demonstrates your gratefulness to Him. Trust me, when you do this, you will definitely receive more!

Malachi 3: 10 ... prove me ... if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

Morning Meds with Izzy Herriette & Co - Friday - MAR 18, 2011 -

We're still working on that building! I want to share this verse that went through my spirit, yesterday, after completing the Morning Meds for the day:

Jeremiah 31:3,4 - The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel; thou shalt again be adorned with thy "tabrets,"and shall go forth in the dances of them that make merry.

There is so much in this verse that I could and would love to expound upon with you. Simply however, we can take away from this, that God wants and promises to build us!

I so encourage you today, to rise up, and run into the presence of God by the knowledge of His Word and fellowship in the Holy Spirit. He will rearrange your life for you as you allow Him to do so! He is looking for vessels to pour Himself into. My life is a living testament to that TRUTH!

We must first make Him #1 in life! We must come to Him, yield to Him and desire Him and His will for our lives.

Matthew 11:28-30 - Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

This is a brand new life that Jesus is speaking of, here, in these verses. This is the life that He gave His life, to bring to us, if we can but receive it from Him.

Remember, in the building up process, there will be a tearing down as well:

2 Chronicles 20:13 - Howbeit the high places were not taken away, for as yet the people had not prepared their hearts unto the God of their fathers.

We will be called upon by the Word of God to bring down every thought that opposes or disagrees with what He says about us in His Word.

God is waiting to build in you - an imposing - elaborate edifice! Are you preparing yourself for that? I am praying that you are. I am praying that you will open the doors and invite Him in to perform His MARVELOUS WORKS in you.

Blessings as you work together with Him!

I'm praying this morning, for the Lord to make the way for me to do video teachings, here on Morning Meds. That would be fun for us!

I can't "get away" from this "building" that we've been speaking of for nearly an entire week now. This is such an elaborate thing in scripture! If you've studied the Bible any length of time, and in-depth; you will appreciate that comment. The intricacies of this subject and my passion to teach it, give me reason for wanting to do videos instead of writing. It's much more natural for me to talk (ha), than to write.

God is so focused on, so concerned about and has so provided all of the equipping for us to be built up in Him.

Did you know that God is a "masterbuilder"? That's right! He is.

1 Corinthians 3:10 - According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise master builder; I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereon.

1 Corinthians 3:6 - I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

Through my many years of study, I learned that the building of God in our lives, is referred to in the Greek, as: edifice


ed·i·fice

noun \ˈe-də-fəs\

Definition of EDIFICE

1
: building; especially : a large or massive structure
2
: a large abstract structure edifice — R. H. Tawney>

Examples of EDIFICE

  1. a magnificent edifice with a domed ceiling
  2. impressiveedifices>

Origin of EDIFICE

Middle English, from Anglo-French, from Latin aedificium,from aedificare
First Known Use: 14th century

Related to EDIFICE

Synonyms: cathedral, hall, palace, tower

In short and for today: from this time forward, think of yourself according to the definition of "edifice" because that IS God in you, doing His masterbuilding.

I've been away the past few days following the heightened time surrounding the quake and tsunami in Japan. It was enough to absorb the event, by itself, but when I realized what things I had seen and heard prior; it all had a paralyzing effect on me. The Lord created a "time out" for me towards the end of the weekend and yesterday.

Today, as I'm back, my heart is still heavy with the trauma that Japan is now faced with. Unimaginable scenes have crossed through our media that seemingly are becoming more and more "the norm" for these days.

As I was reading in scripture, earlier; I stopped here to meditate:

Ezekiel 27:25 - And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever; and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.

This sounds like "home sweet home" wouldn't you agree? How people in this earth are so misplaced these days by all the natural, economic, social, religious and political disasters; with that "axis" being moved and removed as I've spoken of in a prophetic manner, so much, since 2004.

This particular portion of God's Word is speaking directly to Israel and we can't take away from that. At the same time, God wants this to be for every single human being, in HIM! He wants to be our "home sweet home - our habitation - secure dwelling place"!

How much we need to be building upon the articles I've been posting here on Morning Meds as of late! We MUST continue to build that firm foundation in Christ Jesus, as all other supports upon which we lean, are presently becoming less and less secure! The ground we walk upon is no longer to be trusted. Peace, prosperity and posterity are no longer the "order of this day"! We learn who and what truly is the "axis" of our lives, once everything begins to shake, rattle and roll, and/or to shift! We discover quickly where we've placed our TRUST - in the arm of flesh - or in the arm of an Almighty God.

I pray that on "my day," as well as throughout all of my days; I will be so caught up and founded upon Him that I will be able to go out with hands lifted toward heaven and a powerful song of praise and worship in my mouth unto Him!

Praying for your spiritual building and that we will SHARE that with the rest of the WORLD - in THIS DAY!

Morning Meds with Izzy Herriette & Co - Friday - MAR 11, 2011

Just a simple ...

Yet profound "thought" this morning ...

(Holy Spirit inspired) ...

God does not give an "E" for effort" ...

He does give ...

Blessings for "obedience" ...

Deut 28:1,2 - And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.

Joshua 1:7,8 - Only be thou strong and vey courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. This book shall not depart out of thy mouth: but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein' for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Isaiah 15:22,23- And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hat also rejected thee from being king.

Isaiah 1:19,20 - If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land. But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword, for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

Success through "effort" can never attain to the success of "obedience"!

Obey today! Love the blessings of GOD!

Morning Meds with Izzy Herriette & Co - Thursday - MAR 10, 2011.

On a more serious note today, I am led to read the entire book of Jude. This particular writing is a powerful example of "big things come in small packages"; wouldn't you say?

I actually went to Jude for the purpose of sharing a verse with you, that applies to once again, our spiritual building. Before I could even get to that verse, there came a strong leading of the Holy Spirit, to read the entire from beginning to end. How we need these words for this day; instructing to be so aware of false teachers within the Church.

Jude 17-21 - But, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; how that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their ungodly lusts. But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

I wanted to point out specifically the "building up yourselves ..." in this portion of scripture. However, I found as I read, that all of the words in this book - certainly do apply - to the building up of our spiritual house in Christ. Again, we MUST build with TRUTH! Amen? Even our own minds and hearts will try to deceive us and can rob us of what God has for us; through doubt and unbelief. We must operate in faith, in the Word of God, always!

We will be required to act even as a guard over our thought life. We cannot stand idly by and allow anything and everything to pass through the gateway of our spiritual temple. If we do such a thing as that, we will pay a price for it.

Jude 3,4 - Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. For these are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God, into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

That "earnestly contend for the faith" really jumped out at me today!

Going back to one of our foundational portions of scripture from a few days ago:

1 Cor 3:2-15 - Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; every man's work shall be made manifest; for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

In my own personal life, I know that when I take the Word of God, declare it, stand upon it alone, fight the good fight of faith over that Word and have my communion with the LORD therein; it is ONLY then that I see His hand move on my behalf.

We must always remind ourselves of these words:

Amos 3:3 - Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

In order to walk with God in such a way as to see His fruit come forth in our lives - we MUST walk within the boundaries of His written and spoken Word for our lives - there simply is no other way!

Beloved ...

CONTROVERSY:

Controversy: 1948 - New Century Dictionary - Turned against; dispute; turn; debate; contention; disputation concerning a matter of opinion.

Our present world is in controversy with itself. The hard pressed expression is that we are fast paced, busy and driven, therefore, leaving us with no time for meditation. At the same time, we see that meditation (every form thereof), is at the very forefront of focus - it is the posh-padded new pathway, haled in our society today for everyone to trample after. Example: our favorite coffee shops, our luxury retreats, weekend packages for the salvation of our wholeness, spas, message therapy, organics for the health of our mind, body and soul; movies, toys, entertainment and the list goes on, and on, and on ... and the greatest on the list is the "information age". It takes time and attention to digest all of that information out there - all new - and filtered down to us through all new channels! All requiring more, more and more of our time and attention.

Meditate: Webster's 1913 Dictionary


To keep the mind in a state of contemplation; to dwell on anything in thought; to think seriously; to muse; to cogitate; to reflect.
[imp. & p. p. Meditated ; p. pr. & vb. n. Meditating.]
In his law doth he meditate day and night.
- Ps. 1:1, 2.


To contemplate; to keep the mind fixed upon; to study.


To purpose; to intend; to design; to plan by revolving in the mind; as, to meditate a war.
I meditate to pass the remainder of life in a state of undisturbed repose.
- Washington.

The on-line Bible definitions for "meditate" are very interesting, indeed! I learned that all Old Testament references carried a rather negative connotation to their meaning:

mourn, mutter, roaring, sore, talk, study, imagine, moan, growl, utter, muse, devise, plot, complain, whisper, murmur

Oddly, the New Testament meaning, changes to a positive:

imagine, to care for, attend to carefully, practise, devise, contrive, take care, care about

Hmmm...

Psalm 5: 1 - Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation.

Psalm 19: 14 - Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.

Psalm 49: 3 - My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.

Psalm 104: 34 - My meditation of him shall be sweet; I will be glad in the Lord.

Psalm 119:97 - O how I love thy law! It is my meditation all the day.

Psalm 119: 99 - I have more understanding than all my teachers; for thy testimonies are my meditation.


In writing the book: Manifesto - Before The Cock Crows, (which I would say, is an enormous piece of counsel for profiting unto good, to anyone who takes it unto themselves to do it) I found the centrality of the message to be a deep cry to: Watch Over Your Minds - Meditations!

1 Peter 1: 13 - Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

Why is this so important, today?

Let me tell you that there are "wicked" minds out there these days - among family members, friends, neighbors, lawmakers, government officials, national leaders. There are devices being devised in a cunning and crafty way, to change the course of things, in this day. If you are not AWAKENED to this fact - I AM HERE TO AWAKEN YOU! The only reason I can do that, is because the Lord, always, by His Spirit, gives me the head's up!

The things that we're seeing in our world today, I was warned about years ago!

God (if you don't already know) is a man who EXPOSES DARKNESS! God is a man who CRACKS AND CREATES THE DAWNS! God, right now, KNOWS AND SEES ALL and is trying His best to SHAKE SOME OF US UP out of our places of blindness and ignorance!

At this very moment there are FREEDOMS AND LIBERTIES, bearing many different names, which are on the verge of being STOLEN CLEAN AWAY from us!

Do YOU have knowledge of these things? Could you NAME them?

If your answer is NO - you are in the RIGHT place! I CAN help you!

MEDITATIONS are at the BACKBONE of our LIBERTIES at risk right now!


The mind leads the man. So goes the man, so goes the nation; if the majority follows! Sometimes, as is the case at this time, it only takes a few in "influential positions" to change the course of an entire nation. That initiator seeks out, pursues and invests in those who will willingly be like minded, and help to further and to ultimately accomplish their causes.

People can be following a PATH that they see not - like sheep being led, deceptively, over a cliff - IN A FOG!

I believe that we are there, NOW!

There are things going on in high places that we know not of. We're not paying attention. We're not watching. We're not informed. We are out "eating, drinking and being merry". Meantime, there is a watchful, scheming, informed, educated, equipped, strategic, studied-out plotting, taking place over governments.

Do we know and/or understand that? Did we understand 9/11/01, here in the United States?

There were many prophetic people in the land, who knew that 9/11/01 was coming. Would people have heeded their warnings, had they been given?

I was one of them. I led my people, my flock at that time (by instruction and revelation of the Holy Spirit), into a prayer in the floor on 9/2/01. The Lord had spoken to me before service that morning that there was something going on in the unseen realm that we needed the "watch" of His Holy Spirit to be making us aware of!

Goodness clothed with innocence but stripped of wisdom - faces danger!

Matthew 10: 16 - Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves; be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

Serpents: (Gk) - (through the idea of sharpness of vision) - snake, serpent; with the ancients, the serpent was an emblem of cunning wisdom. The serpent who deceived Eve was regarded by the Jews as the devil.

If we desire goodness, we must also realize that there is an imperative to the "maintenance" of that goodness!

We are the benefactors, only, of that which we choose to meticulously be keepers over!

Genesis 2: 15 - And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.


Someone has to govern. This is why we have governments. So, what do we choose to be governed by? What kind of lives do we desire to be able to live? Accordingly, we must then go a step further, to take the responsibility to rule unto that end - or choose those who will rule for us - hopefully, unto that end! Or we can sit back, be uninvolved, oblivious, irresponsible and foolish; choosing, thereby, to live under whatever is chosen for us by other activists!

There is, today, even what the Bible tells us in Ephesians 6: 18 - For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

I don't believe that a majority of people in the earth today, have clear vision of how much wickedness is literally lurking in governments today - seeking out places to set up their kingdoms and to begin to RULE!
High places!


I adjure you, by the Spirit of God, to be very, very careful about what you believe in this very day and hour!
The Lord spoke to me in the writing of the book and said, "Ginger, these are days of either the 'harry potter or the Holy Potter'!

Harry: Ravage as an army does. Army, host. To ravage (places) as in war; devastate; pillage, or despoil; also, to harass (persons) by repeated attacks, forced exactions, rapacious demands, etc.; in gen., to harass, trouble, torment, or worry; also, to carry off, as in a raid. To make harassing, incursions.

Potter: One who makes earthen pots or vessels.

Holy: Entitled to worship or profound religious reverence because of divine character or origin, or connection with God or divinity; in general, invested with a sacred character, hallowed, or held in profound reverence; also, specially recognized as or declared sacred by religious use or authority, or consecrated.

In other words, we will be formed by schools of thought and sealed therein. Our fate is in those thoughts! Our end. Or our beginning. All in a school of thought!

Will we choose, this day, to be formed into a Holy thing or a harrowing thing? We must begin to
think!


Our nation - the United States of America - is heading towards a true RE-FORMATION!
I know that some people don't see or believe that ... some do. Those who do, are completely taken, by how close we actually are to it and by how suddenly it seems to have come upon us.

One year ago, the Lord gave me a prophetic song for the nations. In this song, the Lord referred to these days as "tumultuous days".

Just this past week, a reporter from Wall Street (a twenty-two year veteran), was on radio, and made this comment regarding the recent Wall Street Fall, " I never in my wildest imaginations, would have thought that I would see a day like this! These are "tumultuous days"! There's just no other way to say it. We are on the verge, one step away from Socialism! Does anyone see that?"

God doesn't "miss" when He speaks prophetically - if it's really Him speaking.

I know that I hear from Him! Therefore, I SPEAK!

WILL YOU HEAR WHAT GOD HAS TO SAY, BY WAY OF HIS MOUTHPIECE?

WE NEED TO BE "AWAKENED"!

THUS, THE CREATION OF THIS PARTICULAR SITE ...

A PLACE TO POST WHAT THINGS THE LORD HAS SAID IN THE PAST ...

To incite a MEDITATION UPON THOSE very THINGS ...

SEE HOW MANY OF THE WORDS SPOKEN, HAVE ALREADY COME TO PASS ...

THEN, TAKE PROPHETIC WORDS FOR THE FUTURE ...

BELIEVE THEM ...

AND BUILD WITH THEM ...

FOR SAFETY SAKE!

We are currently in trouble on many levels, in the world.

So, who will "govern" the situation at hand?


Only ones who have the mind for it!

Nehemiah 4: 6 - So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof; for the people had a mind to work.

I pray that God gives you a mind to work, today - for this day!
