Morning Meds with Izzy Herriette & Co - Wednesday - May 25, 2011 -

Funny, funny, funny! Sometimes I just really have to laugh at myself.

Last evening, we were facing tornado warnings and my family had been pressed all day - scurrying hither and yon - and dinner time was approaching. Needless to say, as happens all too often these days; I was not prepared for the "moment"!

So in the middle of a phone conversation, while husband is at grocery store and I'm at home in a panic and feeling foolishly undone; the comment comes, "Well, look in the freezer downstairs and I think you already have some there."

I don't normally have anything in that extra freezer. We just don't eat that much, as my husband is away from home with work a majority of the time and I just don't really cook at all anymore.

I ran down to the storage room, opened the freezer door, and to my surprise I found that I had stocked it! I had also completely no memory of doing so, well, barely a foggy recollection of it.

Wow! Did that ever feel nice. I couldn't believe we actually had this wonderful "stash"; this abundant reserve! On hand!

This morning at precisely 3:00 a.m. while I was up praying and walking the floors to do so, which is customary for me, I heard this scripture in my spirit:

Matthew 6:19,20 - Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt and where thieves do not break through or steal.

Many translations use the word "store up".

At the same time that I heard the scriptures and in particular the words "store up," I also began to remember how great it felt to find that abundant storage of extra food in my freezer.

The LORD ministered to me about His kingdom within and how we can have this kind of overflow for our spirits! We don't have to worry about running out or coming up short on anything with Him!!

A few more scriptures come to mind:

Colossians 3:16 - Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the LORD.

Colossians 1:2 - ... continue in the faith, grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven, whereof I Paul am made a minister.

Colossians 2:6,7 - As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him; rooted and built up in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

Glory to His name! I thank Him for the ABUNDANCE that He has in store for you - TODAY!

Walk ye in it!!

I am so RAPTURED in THE LORD now, that I don't need a "rapture" to take place!

I am so IN THE LIGHT that I forget the DARKNESS; until/unless I am reminded by the LORD that it's still there!

I am so in LOVE with JESUS, THE HEAVENLY FATHER AND THE HOLY SPIRIT that I forget there are MANY who don't even know what that is all about!

I am so BAPTIZED in my NEW LIFE IN CHRIST that I don't remember, oftentimes, that there is ANY OTHER LIFE!

I so LOVE the KINGDOM OF GOD that I forget there are MANY who HATE THAT KINGDOM!

ALL of my days are so swallowed IN HIM that I forget there are days, weeks, months and years!

My HEART is so CAPTIVATED by HIM that I can't find where mine ends and HIS BEGINS!

ACTS 17:28 - FOR IN HIM WE LIVE, AND MOVE, AND HAVE OUR BEING ...

Once we've completed the "flip" we're about to make in this country ...

Ever heard of flip-flops? I wonder if the end of our "flip" will be followed by a "flop"?

This morning, working out the "wrinkles" in my duvet, trying to see to it that it's lying perfectly flat, I noticed how beautiful the fabric was in the spots that were fluffed up/wrinkled! Pictured above, is my duvet; the beautiful brocade, pale blue-gray.

I know by now that the LORD can speak whenever He chooses to and He can use anything He wants to convey His message. So, in the midst of noticing this phenomenal fact about my duvet, He speaks, "You do realize that this particular 'spread' was created not to lye down flat but to be raised up! You see, it doesn't 'shine,' or show its intended special qualities, until it is fluffed up; that's how it was created. Just like you - if you don't allow your talents, special gifts and abilities to operate in your life, freely - you won't shine with the luster you were created for either!"

Okay!! So, get the down in the duvet, NOW! I'm hearing YOU, LORD!

What are you squelching in your life that may be something HE wants you to be fully operating in? Maybe it's pulling the very 'luster' out of your days. Perhaps your life is dull and unfulfilling. We know that just is not God's way for our lives. He has a full, lush life in mind for us; one bursting forth with creativity, freshness and power. He is a glorious GOD, who has ordained that His glory be allowed to be seen, in and through our very lives. We are called to be ALIVE in HIM!

I pray that you will get before HIM today and ask HIM to reveal to you those special things that He has placed in YOU! Seek His guidance, by the Word and the Holy Spirit, for beginning to step into those places "anew"!

My blessings to you in your adventure.

This morning, as I awakened to fellowship with Him once again; my thoughts were led in this direction:

There's a song He gave me many years ago that went like this ...

I never would have known true love

Never would have experienced harmony

If I hadn't fallen into the arms of JESUS

And oh, what a LOVE He has shown me, from the very beginning - the moment I met Him!

Lines from another of my 'old songs' have been very close to me these past few days ...

Jesus in your presence

Is where I want to be

Let me come and banquet with YOU there

I'd almost forgotten just how sweet it really is

Just to come into YOUR presence

Where fulness of JOY is

I want YOU

How I want YOU, LORD

And yet it seems I miss

The way to find more of YOU

Because of my busyness

How lovely, how safe, how sweet, how refreshing! What a Psalm 23 fulfillment comes ... by just "being in HIS PRESENCE"!

My prayer for you ... that you be found there ... walking those same paths with me ... with HIM! All of the richness that He has for you, be attained unto! Amen!

Looking to Mother's Day, I just "haPPENED" to be working on my first "rugged country" apron for MOTHERS ... from Hanger #6617 ... By: Izzy Herriette & Co ... at this same time.

The LORD spoke these words to me this week: MOM ... Minds On Missions! Keep that in mind this weekend, when you remember your Mothers, Grandmothers and Great Grandmothers. Include yourself in that "slogan" today, won't you? We all need to have our minds on the mission at hand these days; especially “these days”!

Blessings and HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!

My Father has such a way about Him. I'm pulling out the armory of verses to stand upon for "mine enemies coming against me"; when in an effort to locate that verse on Google, I stumble/fall smack into the middle of this greater story:

http://blog.jewishaz.com/item/2011/02/surrounded-by-enemies

(If you don't read the story - you won't get the "message" of this article.)

O Lord, thank you, for bringing me to right and promised "balance"; as you said in your word, you would do. Amen.

Do you know that moments after I wrote this article, yesterday, I received a phone call (while I was yet in tears over someone who had "turned against me") and they invited me to lunch! Enemy number one -conquered.

Is our GOD - GOOD - YES HE IS!

IS HE "FOR US" - YES HE IS!

DOES HE CARE ABOUT US - YES HE DOES!

Thank you, LORD!

Psalm 125:1,2 - They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed; but abideth for ever. as the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

Psalm 88:8 - Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: [I am] shut up, and I cannot come forth.

Psalm 23:5 - Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Glorify His name and look always unto Him for ALL things!

My family loved fishing, so much so, that my mother tells the story of how she was out on the lake in labour pains before one of us was born. The Lord knew that all of those hours with my Christian father, fishing, would take on a symbolic meaning between my Heavenly Father and myself, in later years of my life.

I'll never forget, one Sunday morning after I'd preached, I left Church so agitated. I said, "Lord, what is wrong with me? What is this, Lord?" His answer came in a vision that truly astounded me:

I was a little girl, running alongside Jesus. He had a "string of fish" hanging from His left hand, where I was jumping up and down. I was so excited and anxious in a good way, begging to know from Him, "How many did we catch, Jesus? How many did we catch today?"

Oh, my heart just leap within me at the sight and message of that vision! What a wonderful and powerful One is my Heavenly Father!

I'm still "fishing" with Him today!

Matthew 4:18,19 - And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishers. And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

Always have your poles with you, ready to fish, wherever He may lead you!

Morning Meds with Izzy Herriette & Co - Thursday - APR 14, 2011 -

I've been pondering, as of late, the "walk in the Spirit"!

In all of my meditations surrounding this, I've had to truly focus in on and dig deep, to ask the LORD, "Am I truly walking with YOU? Am I hearing You, LORD? Am I following in the steps that You have prepared and ordained for me each day?"

2 Corinthians 13:5 - Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not yourselves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

We are told plainly in scripture, of the "fruits" of the Spirit, which I'm sure most of us are very family with and maybe even a little too familiar with:

Galatians 5:22,23 - But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance ...

All excuses aside we truly are able to walk out our lives in these "fruits" listed.

I guess this morning, in this particular instance, God is appealing to a more "intimate" searching.

Psalm 139:23,24 - Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts; and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

It would seem to me that the LORD is calling, wooing even, to learn whether or not we are hearing his voice and His instructions, according to the Spirit of God within us. Are we listening? Are we really involved in the life that He desires to lead us into?

Here are the verses that spoke to me - in all of this probing of mine - with Him:

John 10:37,38 - (Jesus speaking to his disciples before the crucifixion) - If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works, that ye may know and believe that the Father is in me and I in him.

All through my years of walking with the Holy Spirit, I have been judged, over and over again. Which is not all bad. Actually it is a good thing. People who questioned the authenticity of my faith, then went on to judge the works of Jesus/the Father, in my life. Many who have had doubts, were won over by the works of God, displayed in my life.

I desire, more than anything else in this life, that I am always allowing Him to display Himself through my life - His authenticity.

We cannot accomplish this, apart from living in that intimate place with Him, where His is the only voice we will follow after!

John 10:4,5 - (Jesus speaking) - And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him; for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him; for they know not the voice of strangers.

I find it worthy to "note" that Jesus himself, speaks of this "hearing," just prior to the statement he made of the works of the Father in his own life and ministry.

John 12:49,50 - For I have not spoken of my self; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting, whatsoever I speak therefore even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

John 14: 10,11 - Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you, I speak not of myself; but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or else believe me for the very works sake. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also, and greater works than these shall he do because I go to the Father.

Where is the evidence of "Christ in you the hope of glory"? Is your life emulating much outward truth, that Christ dwells in you richly? I pray so, today, for you as well as for myself, that we see a mighty increase of this in our lives; especially for "this day and hour"! Amen.

Morning Meds with Izzy Herriette & Co - Saturday - APR 9, 2011 -

This morning, I came upon a photo of a beautiful "scroll" that someone placed on facebook. The photo, here today, does not happen to be the one I saw. I actually selected this one, as I prefer it over the other.

Later in the morning, I heard the Holy Spirit speak to me in my meditations, "Unroll the scroll." I knew, instinctively, that He was relating this statement to the days of my life. In other words, as the old saying goes, "Open up the books".

He began to speak to me about my future, asking me who would be the scribe, to pen the pages dictating my story. Following this He spoke these scriptures:

Isaiah 47:12,13 - Stand now, with thine enchantments and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail. Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee. Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them, they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame, there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor a fire to sit before it.

I hadn't realized the extent of those controlling my life, until that moment, when the Holy Spirit began to reveal something very powerful to me. I saw how many expectations were being placed upon me by the people I love. I love many. The LORD laid out before me a little "video-like" presentation of myself, running in this direction and that, trying to fulfill every demand placed upon me. Suddenly, I halted. I stopped. I quit running! Peace and self-confidence came. My God-confidence was restored as well.

Of course, there could be more than one lesson in this particular message today. Many are not aware that, to participate in any of the forms of fortune-telling mentioned above, is a very dangerous practice;something God directly speaks against. He is the One and only who knows the future clearly. To think otherwise will only lead us into paths of destruction.

Whether it be voices such as these, or those of peers and/or loved ones, or even our own ... God wants us to follow only one voice; that being His! His instructions, only, will lead us into safety, security and prosperity for every area of life.

Who is creating the very details of your life on your behalf? Is it you? Is it the LORD? Or are you like me and there are many dictators over your days and ways?

Lord, I pray today, open the scrolls and let us see what YOU would write for us there on each individual page. Let us run to follow after those dictations!

God Bless the story of your life, from this day forward and forevermore. Amen!

Joshua 13:1 - Now Joshua was old and stricken in years; and the LORD said to him, Thou art old and stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed.

Upon opening to this verse, early this morning, my thoughts went directly to a "word" given me on June 15, 2003; as I was in preparation for a morning service I was to teach that day. This powerful instruction from the LORD, was recorded at that time, and is now documented in my book Manifesto-Before the Cock Crows:

June 15, 2003 - (This day just as the day before 9/11/01, when the Holy Spirit overshadowed me and spoke with such a powerful prophetic message!)

I was getting ready to go preach our Sunday morning church service when the LORD spoke to me again:

"Ginger, there is a rollover coming- a changing of the guards." Instantly, I knew that this "word" was coming with the same importance as that of the 9/11, that had come to me. It came like a trumpet blast! He said, "There are many Generals who will be going from the earth in not so many days." He told me that _______ would be going soon.

He continued, "They (the Generals) have no idea that they were and are still in so powerful a spot!" He said they didn't understand that they were called, chosen, raised up, multiplied, and magnified, because of the great "roundup" that He knew about all along. He was organizing it for this time! He said He had brought them up with great strength and magnitude of power and that all that they had become was absolutely of His doing! He said it was a "mighty, mighty work that He had done for a divine purpose!" Further, He spoke, "The masses in the world will not diminish but the generals will be going on, many of them coming home to be with Me."

This message was then and still is - so very urgent - in the mind of God! He told me that it is "imperative that the Generals have a comeback to tell the generations under them that they must 'come up' now!"

The elder generation must exhort and admonish the generations remaining after them. "They must come up stronger than their predecessors!" This is something that is so loud in the bowels of God right now! There is a great, great stirring in Him over this matter.

God said, "There has been in the earth, through these elders, an awesome, anointed, and appointed work for such a time as this, that has taken place over the past twenty-five to fifty years.

He told me that there must be a communication brought to this generation - to cause them to comprehend, grasp and grab hold of - to take the mantle upon themselves.

They must come to terms with the reality of it all - the size of it all - the importance of it all - to God! They must be able to comprehend the depth of what He has thus far accomplished in the earth by these "elder Generals"! They have accomplished the task given them - and now - God must have an ever-increasing momentum take place! He is "hot" to reveal this to His Church, right now, that they understand perfectly where we are, what is happening and what needs to happen next. This is exactly what is happening, as God sees it today, even at this moment! I believe that we must line up with these words - that we might have the victory and that God may be glorified - because His people have heard His Word and are taking their places with that Word out of obedience.

These are crucial times and we must be in right order, after the whole, complete, right, revealed plan of God. This is critical to the outcome of the fulfillment of God's will in the earth - now.

This momentum can only come by those who will be left in charge!

God is very concerned with the skill as well as the level of fire in the up and coming generation. He said, " I must have the full attention of this generation. I must have them understand that this is an hour of solemnness'!"

This generation must get in with God - get in with those Generals - who can impart by verbal communication, by laying on of hands, and by passing on the anointing. Their anointing can and must be passed on!

We must have the same "quality" of men as those who are preparing to leave us behind. Or, God shows me, the work that has been built up to this point will be lost. He cannot afford for this to happen - especially not at this particular time - this day and this hour. He is performing His good and perfect will, and we must come to terms with the reality of it and get locked in with it all immediately!

These are days when there is no time to waste! We cannot afford to be slow in our responses to God now! We must be alert. This is an hour of high strategizing.

God needs His people to be the ones on top or above! He does not need us being "slaughtered" because we aren't listening at this time. He is trying to equip us, to thus, prepare us for things coming that we know not of! We must have an ear to hear what the Spirit has to say. This is the hour for that as no hour before.

There is so much transpiring that our eye has not yet seen! Be assured of this one thing, nothing is out of the view of God. He knows and sees all. And He will take of that and impart it to us as we still ourselves before Him to hear what He would say to us.

This is a day to begin to speak less and to hear much more! Our victories will come by hearing what the Spirit has to say!

Will we understand that now? Will we "set ourselves" apart for that now? We really must if we love the LORD! We really must! We determine the outcome of the will of God in the earth. Our choices affect everything.

We must be like men of war. At this precise time, every shot counts! We will pay a price for the shots that miss the target. We can't afford to be sloppy at this time." ...

Since that June 15, 2003 date, as you well know, many of the Generals have gone on just as the LORD said. Patriarchs in the eyes of God.

Do we not see that this is "the hour" spoken of back on that day? Has not our day become a day of fulfillment for all words spoken above?

We must RISE UP - CHURCH! THIS IS OUR FINEST HOUR! Where are we?

Selah (Hebrew - Pause and calmly think on that.)

Morning Meds with Izzy Herriette & Co - Wednesday - APR 6, 2011 -

As is obvious to any faithful follower of Morning Meds with Izzy Herriette & Co, I haven't been "on" as of late, in my commitment to this particular site.

Today, I will place here, rather quickly, something the LORD just shared with me and told me to post here for today's "word" to you:

I had just returned from a meeting in Branson, MO., and had been contacting ministries all that summer, regarding the book "Manifesto-Before the Cock Crows."

I'd no sooner gotten my bags unpacked, when in the Holy Spirit, there came yet another "radical stirring"! The Lord directed me towards the piano. I sat down there and He began to pour out a song for the youth ministry that I had just seen in Branson. He told me, through this song, that there were coming "tumultuous" days and times ahead! I shook, physically. Just more of what I'd already been shown in 2004. "Lord, really! Why? Why does it have to come, Lord?" And every time I'm told something like this, by His Spirit, I can hardly take it in! I knew this would be for the world at large. It had very little to do with that youth group, other than that He wanted them to be prepared, to minister to the youth at this crucial and trying hour and time.

After the song was written, He quoted two scriptures to me, followed by these words which He spoke tenderly to me, "In days to come, people will get really good at calling upon me."

I knew that those words and scriptures were indicators of a people being in tremendous need, as a result of extremely trying circumstances coming upon them unawares!

I placed the scriptures on these little tags, just to have them setting before my eyes, to remind me of His words to me that day.

Three years have gone by now, and I can honestly say that I can and have seen the very thing that those words spoke of on that day, come to pass! There have been now, to this date, SO MANY DEVASTATING CIRCUMSTANCES CATCHING FOLKS EVERYWHERE "UNAWARES"! Wouldn't you agree?

And now I literally weep before Him in prayers over the world. And as I am in those prayers, as of late, a prophetic song given me in 1980, continues to come and play in my spirit. I can't recall all of the words ... but these I do recall ... My husband and I did a new recording of the song in the fall of 2010 and are still ironing out the wrinkles; for your hearing soon:

Oh, Lord
All the people in the world
Who are cryin'
People who are dyin'

Hear them Lord
Satisfy their soul
Wash them Lord
Cleanse them
And make them whole

Take all their cares
Their worries and their fears
Drown them now, O Lord
In the passion of your tears

Help them to know
That you really are there
Help them to know
That you really do care

Hear them when they cry
Hear them when they sigh
When they reach out from their heart
Not knowing why

See them Lord
See them as they nearly
Break beneath the load
Carry their burden Lord

I know that the song is applicable to every single day in this earth and to every single person on any given day ... but I know ... I really "know" ... this song was prophetic of "this day"!

The Lord always hears our cries. And I know that He is close and wants to come in and help!

Revelation 3: 20 - Behold, I stand at the door, and knock; if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

John 14:21 - He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me; and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

2 Corinthians 5:17 - Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

If you find yourself in a situation or circumstance today, which requires help beyond yourself, why don't you reach out in faith to the One who promises that if we come to Him, he will in no wise cast us away but will hear and answer us and make His resources available unto us. He is a Good God!

God bless you! God bless America! God bless the nations!

Morning Meds with Izzy Herriette & Co - Sunday - APR 3, 2011.

What would make for "rest" for you today?

For some reason the Lord continues to speak to me about the subject of "rest"!

A few mornings ago, before I could even fully awake, I sat straight up in bed hearing this word: convalesce.

This wouldn't mean so much to me but upon awaking one morning early, only a few weeks ago, the Lord began ministering to me about that "sweet rest" that we should always be experiencing "in Him". A few days following, a sister prophesied the very same thing to me, in a way that was unmistakably the LORD!

con·va·lesce (knv-ls)

intr.v. con·va·lesced, con·va·lesc·ing, con·va·lesc·es

To return to health and strength after illness; recuperate.

To regain one's health: come around (or round), gain, improve, mend, perk up, rally, recover, recuperate. See health/sickness.

In meditating upon all of this collective information, I began to really hone in on the voice of the LORD over this matter.

I know how many are struggling these days, and I am not exempt. Many are suffering financial challenges and we are all "pressed" with things that are taking place in our world on a global scale; politics, social behaviors, natural disasters and mysterious occurrences. Difficulties on many new levels are facing us everyday.

All of these can cause such worry, anxiety and fear in our lives; unrest! God is calling us today, to be reminded that in Him, we are delivered from all such emotions. These responses to life, left undone and not corrected/changed by the Word of God, can lead to illnesses. Depending upon how long one operates in these contrary ways, will determine how ill they may truly become, and for what length of time they might remain in those conditions. When we come to the LORD, His immediate ministry unto us, is to DELIVER us from ALL things belonging to "such a state as this"!

We really could consider our being changed in God, as "convalesce" - couldn't we? Think on that!

When we come to the Kingdom of God we are literally stepping into a place where none of these negative and harrowing emotions exist!

How well we know the LORD and His Word, how much we truly TRUST Him and His promises to us, will be revealed in our walking in new paths where we are FREE from all that bound and held us captive, prior.

Our new life in Christ, will be a convalescence of sorts, where He will be bringing us into a healing from all of our former days, when we walked outside of the LIFE that He has for us!

Luke 4:18 - The Spirit of the LORD is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, he hath sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.

Have you been in a convalescent "mode" since coming to know the LORD? If not, you really need to press in to know Him more, as this IS what He does in our lives when we are truly walking with HIM!

Check it today, won't you? And begin to get your blessed "rest"!

Blessings

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

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!

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?

Selah - (Hebrew - Pause and calmly think on that?)

Have a glorious day, in HIM!

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

: building; especially : a large or massive structure

: a large abstract structure edifice — R. H. Tawney>

See edifice defined for English-language learners »

Examples of EDIFICE

a magnificent edifice with a domed ceiling
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.

Morning Meds with Izzy Herreitte & Co - Tuesday - MAR 15, 2011 -

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!

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 ...

Morning Meds with Izzy Herriette & Co - Wednesday - FEB 9, 2011.

GOOD MORNING!

So you remember what we've been studying, right? We've been looking at our "old life" without Christ and apart from the Kingdom of God versus our "new life" in the Kingdom of God through Christ.

This morning as I was meditating before the Lord regarding Morning Meds, I saw myself chopping down trees. You might ask in a surprised manner, "What?" To that I would answer back, "I've got to get 'rid' of everything that opposes the Word of God for my life, if I want to have the life that He promised me."

Believe me when I say that a whole lot of chipping away has had to take place in my life since I learned about this. Every single day I am employed in ... more whittling ... more disposing of things that cannot remain.

Did you know that one of the things we must do in order to be in line with God's Word - is to be - HAPPY? Did you also know that some of us don't know how to do happy? Yet, God says clearly in His Word, that we are to be in that state:

Psalm 144:15 - Happy is that people, that is in such a case; yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD!

Psalm 128:1,2 - Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways. For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands; happy shalt thou be and it shall be well with thee.

John 13:17 - If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

1 Peter 3:14 - But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye; and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled:

1 Peter 4:12,14 - Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you. But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye, for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you ...

Are you calling in - tree removal services yet - or do I need to continue quoting?

Obey God today ... walk in "new life" ... BE HAPPY!

Morning Meds with Izzy Herriette & Co - Monday - MAR 7, 2011.

Good morning, and if it's not already a good morning for you, then you have work to do!

We've been speaking over the past few days, regarding our building in the spiritual sense; that of our spiritual house. I hope you were able to find some time to really meditate upon the scriptures from the MAR 4th posting.

For today's reading:

1 Cor 3:9,10 - For we are labourers together with God, ye are God's husbandry; ye are God's building. According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereon.

Notice that it matters what we build our lives with when it comes to the building up of our spiritual house.

Eccl 3: 1-3 - To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted. A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up....

There will be times, in our building, to tear down and times to build up!

Is 61:8 - For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.

God promises that He will "direct our work in truth". I love that promise and we can take that to Him, remind Him of it and thank Him for it; even as we are seeking Him for our building.

John 8:31,32 - Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Only by remaining involved with His Word, will we continually find ourselves being built up and living life as He has appointed it for us!

In short, for today, think on these things:

1) God has an ordained "place" (state of mind) for us to live our lives in.

2) Now that we are in the Kingdom of God, we must come to understand how that Kingdom operates.

3) We must educate ourselves, by the renewing our minds, according to the Word of God. We will only attain unto all that He has foreordained for us, in Christ, as we begin to walk out the directives given in His Word. Our thoughts and ways must begin to line up with His and these He has shared with us through His Word!

4) As we build our spiritual life, with God, we will learn that there are "old thoughts and old ways" that must be "left behind and cast away"; that our building be built rightly!

5) We must clear away the "old" and begin to freshly build with the "new".

More tomorrow!

Watch your building - today. God's will is that you have a good day!

Morning Meds with Izzy Herriette & Co - Saturday - MAR 5, 2011 -

To pick up from where we left off yesterday ...

The scriptures given from MAR 4 were all in reference to building/rebuilding and that is on a daily basis exactly what we will be doing in our spiritual lives if we truly live it out with GOD.

You may be asking yourself, "What does this statement mean for me as a Christian; I don't quite understand? " Allow me to explain.

Once we come to God, through Christ Jesus His Son, our lives have changed. Hallelujah! It is an awesome - wonderful thing! We are no longer the same. Everything has changed. That knowledge, alone, is the first "building block" - if you will - to beginning our life in Christ. Meditating daily, and coming to terms with the reality of this truth, will be a literal foundational ground for your spiritual building; your life and walk with God. Without this crucial piece of information your walk with Him will suffer and could very well end up to be a bumpy and troublesome one; not at all the will of God for you.

2 Corinthians 5:17 - Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Colossians 1:12,13 - Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light. Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.

John 1:12,13 - but as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

John 3:3 - Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again; he cannot see the kingdom of God...Jesus answered, Verily, verily I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

As people of God, living our lives in that "new" place to which we have been translated (the Kingdom of God), we will have to have all new understanding in order that we might "occupy therein"!

Example: If we would move from our native country to a foreign one; everything there would be different. In this new country, we would need to learn their ways, that we might live there and walk among the people in a successful manner.

The same is true for us in the Kingdom of God!

Isaiah 55:8,9 - For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens a re higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Proverbs 4:5,6 - Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean unto unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Psalm 119:105 - Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.

Building Block #101 ...

For more - see you tomorrow.

Selah (Hebrew - Pause and calmly think on that.)

Morning Meds with Izzy Herriette & Co - Friday MAR 5, 2011 -

2 Chronicles 2:1 - And Solomon determined to build an house for the name of the LORD, and an house for His kingdom.

Nehemiah 2:17,18 - Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem, lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire; come, and let us build up the walls of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach. Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king's words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work.

Nehemiah 4:2 - And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned?

Haggai 1:2 - Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that the LORD"s house should be built.

Nehemiah 4:7,8 - But it came to pass, that when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up, and that the breaches began to be stopped then they were very wroth. And conspired all of them together to come and to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it.

Nehemiah 4:17,18 - They which builded on the wall, and they that bared burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work and with the other hand held a weapon. for the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me.

You may be wondering already, "Why all these verses of scripture this morning? Is this really necessary? My answer to you, would be, "YES! This morning - yes!" This would be for me, if not, for you.

Have you ever been in a position, spiritually speaking, where your spirit felt like it was "buried beneath tons and tons of rubble"? Now, if you were buried like that in the natural sense, first of all, you wouldn't be able to discern your whereabouts. Secondly, you might be pinned down and in a very tight and binding situation, that doesn't allow you to get up and learn of where exactly you are, and/or how it is that you got there. It is then that you would truly begin to feel the weight of your entrapment upon you. Am I right?

You know, there are people who suffer such weights upon their physical being, and yet, in those very circumstances, they are able to find the inner strength to rise up on the inside; to have hope for physical deliverance. At the same time there are those of us, who having no physical limitations upon us, find it nearly impossible to move in the physical realm, as we seem to battle spiritual forces that would come to weight us down, much like these tons of debris pictured above.

Selah ... (Hebrew - Pause and calmly think on that.) ... whilest I'm working on "digging out" this morning.

Praying you're made free by the Son today, as He whom the Son sets free is free indeed!

To be continued.

Morning Meds with Izzy Herriette & Co - Tuesday - March 1, 2011 -

March first ... march first ... march first ...

Could these words possibly take on a different meaning used within another context? Of course!

How ironic. This morning, my FIRE is BURNING OUTRAGEOUSLY over how much I have known of today's current events (by the Spirit and grace of God, through prophetic gifting) prior to their actual occurrence.

I have been "pounding the pavement" in the Spirit as well as in the natural, for seven years now, in an effort to make these words known to as many as possible and if I had my way - to ALL!

Some, such as my own family members, have blocked me from their facebook feed (no offense taken - with prayer) as they see my continuous ranting as "just that"!

The LORD graciously cautioned me with a bit of a clue eluding to this "rejection" even as He was pouring out all of the revelation to me. He said simply this word: rhino! Rhino, as in "tough-skinned".

His warning should have prepared me and would have had I thoroughly set myself for it which I feel that I have realistically speaking. I wouldn't still be running around with my megaphone, flagging anyone/everyone who will listen otherwise.

I want to be heard! I'll say it again. I WANT TO BE HEARD. I NEED TO BE HEARD!

I HAVE A MESSAGE. Yes. I have a message. It is a true message and one that will save if taken heed to.

Who am I? Does anyone know my name? Not relevant! Moses said to God, "Who shall I say sent me?" To that God responded, "I AM. Tell them, I AM sent you!" (paraphrased)

I have a name, however it's not about a name, rather about a voice that has "a startling word" to share with you - all of you - any of you who will listen.

The mandate to me on Jan 1, 2004, "Ginger, quit your job. I want you to put your ear to the ground and I will cause you to hear tremors and shaking beneath that others are not hearing."

Since that time I have been much like the proverbial broken record. The things I heard and saw in that year, well, the story has become my first language; literally. You can read much about it on all of my BLOGS!

Too much reading for you? Hmmmm ... Share a personal secret: It was nearly way too much for me to give my time and attention to, and beyond that, to absorb as well. We won't go there, right now. I am thankful that the Lord was able to lure me in, that He might successfully reveal those things that He did, once He had me in a posture to receive it. I'm not good at sitting still to listen. I am so thankful today for all that He imparted to me in 2004. I was made ready for this day, today; by all of the information that He so freely poured into me in that year and not to exclude what He'd given in previous years.

You see, today, I want to "march first" ... to continue this race, course and fight ... to see to it that ALL are allowed to hear what GOD had to say ... that now is so powerfully coming to pass even before us.

I would love to be able to say, "Okay. Now that I got that off my chest!" I know better though. I can't STOP now!

March first. Maybe that will become my new motto. My family and those to whom I do and have ministered to, would declare openly to you, that it has been my motto the entire time they have known me.

Have an ear to hear GOD today - that is my prayer for you!

Isaiah 25:6-8 - And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wine on the lees well refined. And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people; and the vail that is spread over all nations. He will swallow up death in victory, and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth, for the LORD hath spoken it.

It is so necessary to remind ourselves of the goodness of God at all times, and we may need to add to that exercise, especially at a time when evil appears all around us and on increased levels.

What encourages us and gives us hope in the midst of extreme adversity? My answer immediately: our resolve over the promises of God for our lives.

If we are not filled with believing when oppositional circumstances and mere voices would threaten us; we are sure to faint!

We are called to live in the mountain spoken of in the above scripture - today - through the finished work of Jesus Christ! There will be that day when evil will no longer be a part of our world but we are to be over-comers of that evil even in the here and now.

We can only enter into this designated and assigned place by holding fast to the Word of God for everyday life.

Hebrews 10:32,35, 38,39 - But call to remembrance the former days in which after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions....Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great rec-compence of reward....Now the just shall live by faith, but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

We must strengthen ourselves with the Word and with the deep fellowship of the Holy Spirit - every single day - throughout the day and even on into the night hours.

Hebrews 12:2,3 - Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. for consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

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

Today I stand with you for believing!

Shalom

I am humbled and standing in tears under the Glory of God this morning as I am beholding on every side the fulfillment of years of prophetic given me, so graciously, by the Spirit of God!

If anyone is unaware of what a HOLY HOUR - A HOLY DAY we are living in ...

HOLY IS THE HOUR ... HOLY IS THE DAY ... HOLY IS THE LORD OUR GOD ... HOLY IS HIS WAY ... HOLY IS OUR WORSHIP ... THAT WE BRING TO YOU ... HOLY IS OUR VISION ... THAT WE HAVE OF YOU! (Sept 13, 2001)

What a POWERFUL MOMENT IN TIME ... and you and I are privileged to find our existence ... in the middle of it ALL!

IT IS A DAY OF THE GREATEST HARVEST EVER!

Governments toppling ... and oh, that God's people are understanding the "behind the scenes" ... God's handiwork in ALL that is taking place ... before our very eyes.

AWAKEN, BRIDE OF CHRIST! THIS IS "HIS DAY"!

Blessings to each of you as days continue on. May He direct your every step in "these days".

The Lord spoke to me in 2004, sharing that these would be dark days coming, that there would be much strategic, cunning, crafty maneuverings going on in secret places by the spirit of darkness. HOWEVER, He said, "Those who seek Me in this day and hour; I will cause them to be strategic, cunning and crafty, to maneuver in those same dark, secret places! My people will "outwit" the enemy, if they will truly seek My face and follow Me closer than they ever have! They will put down efforts of the enemy in these days. They can be effective, even in high places."

Morning Meds with Izzy Herriette & Co - Saturday - FEB 26, 2011 -

Have you ever been hassled in the night by old and familiar threatenings coming from that spirit of fear; better known as the accuser of the brethren?

He still comes slithering around in the garden of our lives, at times, doesn't he?

What do you do when you hear the rustling of his approaching?

We quoted a few days ago, from Genesis, where Adam "heard the voice of God, walking the garden in the cool of the day".

The BIble tells us in the New Testament that Satan walks in that garden to this day:

1 Peter 5:6-11 - Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

HA!

In the darkness of the night, the voice of the enemy comes, craftily speaking in your ear. He brings your failures, your concerns for issues in life, your doubts, and he rehearses them all before you!

The enemy doesn't come exclusively in the hours of sleep, as you well know. He can show up any time of the day as well and uninvited at that.

This is why God tells us over and over in His Word to "gird up the loins of our minds" and to "keep our hearts with all diligence"!

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.

James 3:7 - Submit yourselves therefore to God, Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Always remember that God sets us free from the "tormentor"! He sees our needs and is ever mindful of them. He is there to hear our requests and petitions, and commands us to "come boldly before His throne" with those. He is ever ready, able, and delighted to answer us when we bring those cares and concerns to Him - and leave them there - trusting His love to provide as He promises.

1 Timothy 1:7 - For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

1 John 4:18,19 -There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear; because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

Our stability in this life will be dependent upon our trust in His ability, and availability, for our lives.

Isn't it interesting that in 1 Peter 5:6-11, we are told to "drop our pride, give all concerns to Him, watch for the voice of the enemy, resist the devil, stand stedfast in faith and we will be perfect, stablished, strengthened and settled; in that order"! We can give Him all the glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen!

The voice of the enemy spoke much to me in the night, last night, but then came the voice of my Redeemer, "Yes! And I am GREATER than that issue, and I am GREATER than that issue, and I am GREATER than that issue, and that issue and that issue! And so ... WHAT of it?"

And that was that!

I love it when God comes and speaks to the enemy; right in front of me and on my behalf! It THRILLS me. I just stand back, watch and listen. It's just like a Father taking a "fight" for and protecting his child.

To Him be the glory and dominion forever and ever. AMEN!

Walk on SOLID GROUND today, won't you?

Don't be tossed and blown about by that "wind-bag of doctrine"!

He knows and has revealed that "the wheel" has truly begun to move toward a "monumental moment in the history of mankind"!

(You can and should listen to the audio of the prophetic word given me on September 21, 2010: http://izzyherrietteco.blogspot.com/- Just locate the audio strip in the top, right hand column of the page.)

How can we shout it loud enough; to the world, our next door neighbors and even to our own family members?

So much of the prophetic in the Bible is being fulfilled before our very eyes at present. How can we possibly not be seeing it?

Perhaps if we don't know the Word of God or we do know but we've fallen prey to the "world"; we could "miss it".

I don't want you to walk around blind in this hour. I have been preaching this message for the past thirty years, through prophetic song, teaching and writings.

Please, do a self-examination today, won't you? Are you sensing an urgency in the Spirit of God, the Kingdom of God, or even in current affairs of this day?

If you are not ... you need to re-focus.

(Take time to read this message given me on September 9, 2004 and learn that we must be AWAKE at this very crucial, strategic and pivotal moment in time: http://izzyherald.blogspot.com/)

It is time to SHAKE OFF ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THAT WOULD CAUSE YOU TO BE DULL IN HEARING FROM GOD!

Pray that He will cleanse you from every thing that has come to detract you from Him, His voice and His direction/instruction for your life. Pray that He places you - back on track - IMMEDIATELY!

Begin to fill yourself with His Word again. Commune deeply with Him by His Holy Spirit. Pray in the Holy Ghost! Be faithful. Be discerning. Be attentive unto Him and His voice; do it now.

I speak these things to all, by His Spirit and in His love and concern!

LORD, in THIS DAY, draw us all so very nigh! Thank You for Your promises:

James 4:8 - Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you...

Jeremiah 29:12-15 - Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. I will be found of you, saith the Lord; ...

There is nothing more important to you today, than that you be found "in HIM"!

BELOVED!

Today, so MOVED by the striking events taking place all over the world and particularly in the Middle East, I somehow found myself playing on the piano - all of those prophetic "war songs" given me back in the early 90's - that were so powerful then. Well, just imagine how much MORE powerful they are NOW!

Oh, the memories that came flooding in over my mind and soul. Thirty-one years of hearing these things from Him and as I looked at the tattered and torn pages, where I penned these prophetic melodies so many years ago; my heart wept!

How awesome is this GOD! How confounding that His Kingdom lives here, in this earth, within us; well, the "deep witnesses to deep" that this is an amazing truth indeed! How could He sing to me like that? How could I hear Him? How could I ever know, or be allowed to know, His presence in me as I have?

Father, I want to be in those days again, where I am sharing all that You have given me with those who will have an ear to hear. The fellowship is so powerful, and yet, so profoundly tender. There is nothing that compares to - nothing comes close - to the essence of heaven contained in these earthen vessels.

John 17:21-23 ... that they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one. I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me; and hast loved them as thou hast loved me.

I remember the day He pierced me through with that scripture. It was 1979 and I was living in a farmhouse in the middle of nowhere; a place where He had led me after asking me to "Forsake all and follow Me". We sold our home, uprooted and followed, not knowing where we would go. Prophetic songs had begun, newly, to flow through me and I received yet another, when He spoke these verses to me on that particular day, in that humble dwelling place.

These were my "foundational days" with Him. These were the days when He was imprinting His very Word and call upon my heart, that I would never depart from it.

Do you have an "aged impression" in your heart today; of Him? Oh, I pray that you do, as the days ahead may get a little turbulent.

Romans 11:33 - O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!

Ephesians 3:17-19 - That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

Ah, that is my prayer for you today!

Be filled with it ALL - from HIM!

2008 - OCT 6-10 - Wall Street Fall Out

1) That weekend the Lord shut me up in my office, as a matter of fact, for the entire weekend. I love when He does things like that; it's an experience that human expression fails to describe, so I won't even try.

It was a strange thing. It all began, this time, with these simple and extremely puzzling words of instruction:

So, the week of the DOW!
WOW the DOW
WOW the BOW - not - bow wow - but - wow bow
Everyone say: BOW WOW
Now say: WOW BOW
Now say: (Acronym for WOW BOW:) When Oh When will we Be On Our Watch?
NOT: - When Our World Bailed Out Wall Street (Do you see it?)
When will we bow and then watch!
From my book Manifesto-Before the Cock Crows: You've crossed oceans and gone to the moon but the greatest you still haven't done because you still haven't bowed your knee to Me!
When will we Bow and Watch - in that order?

This was such an "odd message" - one of those that I would not learn the understanding of - for another two years. I did know that it was one of those "alert" type messages and it set within me a tone of deep concern!

I learned last year (2010), in some of my maneuverings that I don't recall at this moment, the meaning of that message:

http://baller-in-chief.com/videos/rapper-bow-wow-says-white-house-basketball-court-will-connect-with-youth/

http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/bow_wow/

http://www.frugal-cafe.com/public_html/frugal-blog/frugal-

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2010/11/obama-trip-to-india-patil.htmlcafe-blogzone/2010/02/01/knock-it-off-barack-obama-bows-again-to-mayor-of-tampa-florida/

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/2009/11/15/obama_gives_japan039s_emperor_a_wow_bow_224659.html

So all of that answered my unanswered questions from two years prior.

2) On that October weekend, there was also a scripture reading spoken very directly to my spirit: (Friday evening - Oct 10):

Daniel 3:1-5 - Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon. When Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the princes, the governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. Then the princes, the governors, and captains, the judges the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image, that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up. Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages, that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up.

The Lord then made known to me that this was the state and condition of America and beyond - the world.

We had all "bowed down" and made GOLD our GOD.

In 2004, the Lord would go on to speak in-depth of the "corruption" that He was seeing in the courts (justice systems, governments) of the nations, and that much driven, once again, by GOLD/greed.

3) Two prophetic songs were given that weekend as well; both very powerful and both addressing with no mincing, God's view of "this day" and His judgment (assessment) thereof.

The major messages of those songs:

a) Our Daily Bread
b) The Harvest - NOW!

Selah (Hebrew - Pause and calmly think on that.)

Shalom

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

Looking at this photo this morning, at the same time I was asking the Lord what to write for Morning Meds today and I heard Him say, "Would you allow your heart to 'step aside' that what is planted within you might be uncovered and come forth?"

What revelation!

He was speaking of the many treasures hidden within, by His own Spirit, that we keep locked behind the steel guard of our own wounded and fragile heart!

Oh, now, I just have to take some time, even a few days or, maybe even weeks and months on this one; myself.

I don't want to "get hurt" and so ... I won't speak out ... I won't allow what is within to come out ... just in case ... I couldn't bear any more damage to my "heart"!

See what I mean? I shared with you in earlier posts, that the Holy Spirit will probe around! He is the search light living in us. Why? Why does He do this to us?

Oh, He does it for His Kingdom, His Church, for Himself and for us. He called us to "bear fruit" in Him. We can't do that apart from Him coming and continually keeping watch over our garden - so to speak.

John 15:15 - Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatseover ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

Psalm 139:23,24 - Search me, O God, and know my thoughts. And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Proverbs 20:27 - The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly.

When will we learn that we cannot hide from Him? When will we stop trying to hide things from Him?

Genesis 3:8-10 - And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day; and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God, among the trees of the garden. And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.

Okay. The reins of the Holy Spirit is taking this in a certain direction:

Jonah 1:1-3 - Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me. But Jonah rose up to flee ...

Matthew 5:14-16 - Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men; that they may see your good works and glorfy your Father which is in heaven.

Have you been wounded in sharing your faith? Have you been hiding behind a bush, a pastor, a spouse, a spiritual leader and not coming out into the open yourself, with what God has for you to do, be and say?

Selah (Hebrew - Pause and calmly think on that!)

Today, Lord, heal our hearts from any and all wounds and let us GET ON with what You need us to be in this day: SHINING LIGHTS FOR YOU!

Blessings on your heart today!

Splish! Splash! I was takin' a bath ...

What's in need of "refreshing" this morning in your life: body, mind, soul?

Acts 3:19 - Repent ye therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the the Lord.

1 Corinthians 16:17,18 - I am glad of the coming Staphansa and Fortunatus and Achaicus; for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied. For they have refreshed my spirit and yours; therefore acknowledge them that are such.

Exodus 31:17 - It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever; for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.

Job 32:20 - I will speak, that I may be refreshed; I will open my lips and answer.

Do you see in each of these scriptures a different form of refreshing, ministering to a very specific area of need?

Do you need a cleansing today? How will it come? The Holy Spirit knows the answer for you. If we will seek God and inquire of Him, He will show us areas that may be "out of sync" with Him and His Word.

For me, most often, it is this one:

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.

Ephesians 5:26 - That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

My most necessary adjustment, every single day, is that of the structuring of my mind; according to the Word and promises of God.

When I can FOCUS upon Him and His Words to me ...

Splish! Splash! I've taken that bath!

Hope you started your day in this way.

Blessings

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

Okay. Top of the morning and I've already got my "feathers up"!

Does anyone read the same Bible as I? I really don't understand. I mean the whole Bible? The entire content? Truly?

Was Jesus this mild mannered, lovey man, that I see portrayed so many times in Christian conception of Him?

Does anyone have any passion for righteousness, justice and truth anymore? God did, didn't He? Jesus did!

My feathers are so ruffled this morning. I'll march in my own little circle of steam - before Him - this morning; with all my questions and concerns about where the Body of Christ is these days. Then, maybe, just maybe, I'll calm down. The "fire" won't wane though and it hasn't for years now!

Are we truly equipping the saints, rightly? Are we fervent about anything these days? I almost envision a hen-pecking scenario developing around my very words.

I'm not talking about the spirit that came over James and John:

Luke 9:51- And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, 52) And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. 53) And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. 54) And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? 55) But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. 56) For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.

I am talking about this spirit that was in Jesus:

Matthew 21:12 - And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, 13) And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

I'm referring to the spirit that overthrew the tables and stood up and spoke against those who spoke against "truth" in His day:

John 8:42 - Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. 43) Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 44) Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Where is the Spirit of God in us that CARES that the blind eyes are opened and the deaf ears are hearing: TRUTH?

2 Corinthians 11: 2 - For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 3) But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4) For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

I believe we need to be able to distinguish the balance we must have, in praying for our enemies and in heralding TRUTH; especially in this day and hour.

We must love our enemies and at the same time God calls us to be overseers of the "flock". We are to keep them from the ravages of those who would come to deceive and to ultimately destroy. This is, after-all, the reason for the overturned tables in the Synagogue.

We will be held accountable for our brothers and sisters who we have not shared truth with; those that we have made no effort to place that "covering" upon. We are our brothers' keeper. This is a high hour of deception.

This is how I see my stance for the day; in parable form:

I will love those who would mislead my children and I will even teach them to love the misled. I will, at the same time, equip my children with "truth" that they may escape the wiles and the destruction of those same ones that would try to mislead them, while still in their blinded state.

In other words, I will do even as Jesus quoted:

Luke 19:37 - O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

I will even "lift my feathers" to call those who would hear to the safety of their shelter. Those feathers represent: TRUTH! It is by truth that we shall be saved.

Shalom!

Morning Meds with Izzy Herriette & Co - Saturday - FEB 19, 2011 -

Good morning!

Getting my morning coffee and I hear the Holy Spirit speak directly to me, "Who's directing your paths?" That, followed by this:

Proverbs 3:5,6 - Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

I spent a large amount of time in the book Manifesto-Before the Cock Crows, dissecting that word: path, pathway, pathos; rather, the Holy Spirit led me in that way.

Can we take wrong paths in life? Sometimes I don't believe that we really succumb to the idea that we could be so naive as to choose a wrong path for our ourselves/our lives. Rest assured (if you can) that we most definitely can make poor choices, especially if we're not being led by Him in our decision making processes.

Look to the verse that follows the above verses:

Proverbs 3: 7 - Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

You've heard the old adage, "Just because it's a good idea doesn't mean it's a God idea!"

I'd hate to count the times I've missed the Lord's best for my life. That isn't just in consideration of major decisions for my life but in the everyday and every moment type situations. Where is my bend, bending? And unto what end, ending?

I remember early on in my walk with the Lord, by the leading of the Holy Spirit, I learned to instantly repent over anything and everything I knew to be "a wrong" in my life, according to Him. I even discovered, by His Spirit, that I could call forth a killing of that bad seed sown! It works. If I speak something that I know will bear a bad fruit, I immediately ask the Lord to defeat that justifiable outcome; by His mercy and grace. He does it. Every time.

Over and over again, God tells us in His word, that He has set before us: life, health, peace, happiness, joy unspeakable and full of glory, prosperity, goodness and the list goes on and on. How many of us are really walking in those promised pathways?

As a person who receives dreams, visions and divine utterances from Him and many of those lately, not being of a positive nature, but of things coming that are not good; how do I keep myself balanced? I have to think of examples in the Bible such as Paul, John the revelator, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel and so many, many more. These all encountered the prophetic in God in a negative measure as well as a positive. What about Jesus?

Then we have to find our way back, immediately, to this path:

John 14:1 - Let not your heart be troubled, ye believe in God, believe also in me.

John 14:26,27 - But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things ... Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Sounds like the right path to be on today, in order that we end up on the paths that He has set before us; that He will direct our feet in them.

Blessings as you rest before Him over your paths.

This morning as I walked into my closet to choose my attire for the day, I became disheartened; I knew it was something the Holy Spirit was about to reveal to me.

I felt like everything for me to choose to wear, from my wardrobe, was created, designed and set about to "define" me. And these looks prepared for me, are not really me! Yet, I choose to wear them because someone dictates the dress of the day - for me. The designers set the tone!

Have you ever had to dig deeply into your inner self, scrape, grope about blindly, and intensely sift through a lot of stuff; in order that you might locate your true self? Who is defining you in this day? Who has set the tone for what and how you will be in life?

Who am I, Lord? Have you ever had that cry come forth from the deepest part of you? Oh, I have!

What resolve we must live with, within ourselves, if we are to be who we truly were created to be - by The Creator!

We will flounder hither and yon and be so wavering that our visage would appear to be that of a mirage. Do you know who He has designed you to be in this life? What a search is set before each of us, to learn and to discover this for ourselves. And be certain that it is something that He has set before each of us to do.

Ephesians 4:13,14 - For the perfecting of the saints, for the edifying of the body of Christ. Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and for, and carried about with every wind of doctrine by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive.

Trust me when I say (if you don't already know this), there are many who "lie in wait to deceive" and to define!

Who are you today - in Him? Stand tall and be faithful to that call! Don't let someone else tell you who you are and/or who you're not.

Blessings on your day.

So ... all I want to do today ... is ... eat everything I'm not supposed to ... and .. get FAT; which I will hate myself for tomorrow and the next day!

Is 55:1,2 - HO, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good and let your soul delight itself in FATNESS.

Psalm 36:8 - They shall be abundantly satisfied with the FATNESS of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of they pleasure.

Psalm 63:5,6 - My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and FATNESS; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips; when I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.

Psalm 37:4 - Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

Oh, LORD, keep me walking within the boundaries that bring about my true freedom, running over abundant satisfaction and utter delight!

Luke 19:41,42 - And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto they peace ...

Jesus, teach us, if we don't already know and understand; the definition of "Your peace" in this day!

I will not be hungry, empty, suffering lack and/or wanting ... if I'm truly receiving ALL from Him! I will be FAT ... FAT ... FULL ... and OVER THE TOP!

Thank you, LORD!

Okay, we can forgo the cupcakes now.

Have a FAT day today - in HIM!

Oh, pie in the sky and the sweet by and by ...

I'm just wondering if the "world's" best days are ahead or behind?

I've read the Bible. I know the beginning and the end. I know that there will come "a day"; one which the world will not be prepared for. I know that there will come "a day"; one which Christians will not be prepared for.

Prophetic Song: (1990)

Keep your gaze on the One Most HIgh
Don't you move until you see Him drawing nigh
He is faithful, He is true
He'll come for me
He'll come for you

I will sing to You, O, Most High
I will stand fixed with my flag lifted high
I will look for You, O Most High
'Cause I know, I know
Your return is drawing nigh

I am fully aware of, and daily live in, the "high life" appointed for those of us who are in Christ. I am also very mindful of the fact that I KNOW this to be a very specific day and hour, where things just may end up being different than you or I truly anticipated; even in the light of our having prepared ourselves ahead with the Word of God.

Are you ready, should this actually be "the case" of our day? Is your flag lifted high?

So many messages from my past thirty years in Him ... so many prophetic songs, teachings, utterances, dreams and visions .. and all of them being fulfilled now ... before my eyes ... leads me to ask you once again:

Are you ready?

This is a "suspension test" photo from Google royalty free images. Why post this today? Well, as I was driving this morning, our auto hydraulic suspension system, appeared to be malfunctioning once again. In the middle of my disgust, the Lord spoke to me, "It's kind 'a like you; in me. You're riding low, not up where you should be and it's wearing on the whole."

He was right. Sometimes it seems easier to allow myself to be weighted down than to lift myself up with His word, bring my life into those high places that have been prepared for me and walk where I truly belong.

Okay Lord, I got the message. Thank you!

Habakkuk 3:19 - The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk unpon mine high places.

Ephesians 2:6 - And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

Morning Meds with Izzy Herriette & Co - Sunday - FEB 13, 2011 -

I had just returned from a meeting in Branson, MO., and had been contacting ministries all that summer, regarding the book "Manifesto-Before the Cock Crows."

I'd no sooner gotten my bags unpacked, when in the Holy Spirit, there came yet another "radical stirring"! The Lord directed me towards the piano. I sat down there and He began to pour out a song for the youth ministry that I had just seen in Branson. He told me, through this song, that there were coming "tumultuous" days and times ahead! I shook, physically. Just more of what I'd already been shown in 2004. "Lord, really! Why? Why does it have to come, Lord?" And every time I'm told something like this, by His Spirit, I can hardly take it in! I knew this would be for the world at large. It had very little to do with that youth group, other than that He wanted them to be prepared, to minister to the youth at this crucial and trying hour and time.

After the song was written, He quoted two scriptures to me, followed by these words which He spoke tenderly to me, "In days to come, people will get really good at calling upon me."

I knew that those words and scriptures were indicators of a people being in tremendous need, as a result of extremely trying circumstances coming upon them unawares!

I placed the scriptures on these little tags, just to have them setting before my eyes, to remind me of His words to me that day.

Three years have gone by now, and I can honestly say that I can and have seen the very thing that those words spoke of on that day, come to pass! There have been now, to this date, SO MANY DEVASTATING CIRCUMSTANCES CATCHING FOLKS EVERYWHERE "UNAWARES"! Wouldn't you agree?

And now I literally weep before Him in prayers over the world. And as I am in those prayers, as of late, a prophetic song given me in 1980, continues to come and play in my spirit. I can't recall all of the words ... but these I do recall ... My husband and I did a new recording of the song in the fall of 2010 and are still ironing out the wrinkles; for your hearing soon:

Oh, Lord
All the people in the world
Who are cryin'
People who are dyin'

Hear them Lord
Satisfy their soul
Wash them Lord
Cleanse them
And make them whole

Take all their cares
Their worries and their fears
Drown them now, O Lord
In the passion of your tears

Help them to know
That you really are there
Help them to know
That you really do care

Hear them when they cry
Hear them when they sigh
When they reach out from their heart
Not knowing why

See them Lord
See them as they nearly
Break beneath the load
Carry their burden Lord

I know that the song is applicable to every single day in this earth and to every single person on any given day ... but I know ... I really "know" ... this song was prophetic of "this day"!

The Lord always hears our cries. And I know that He is close and wants to come in and help!

Revelation 3: 20 - Behold, I stand at the door, and knock; if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

John 14:21 - He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me; and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

2 Corinthians 5:17 - Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

If you find yourself in a situation or circumstance today, which requires help beyond yourself, why don't you reach out in faith to the One who promises that if we come to Him, he will in no wise cast us away but will hear and answer us and make His resources available unto us. He is a Good God!

God bless you! God bless America! God bless the nations!

Morning Meds with Izzy Herriette & Co - Saturday - FEB 12, 2011 -

I am deeply moved in my heart, mind and spirit today! I don't know if any of you have ever received prophecy from the Lord that was unbelievable at the time of it's delivery, and then stood back, only to watch it all unfold before your very eyes just a few years later; but I can tell you from firsthand experience, that it is something that causes one to tremble. All that is taking place in Egypt today, and in particular with what just happened yesterday as Mubarak stepped down from office, is direct fulfillment of prophecy given me on May 7, 2004 and documented on the pages of the book I authored at the end of that same year: Manifesto-Before the Cock Crows. This event is historical - an absolute fulfillment of prophecy given me on that morning - in my office floor.

I shared on Morning Meds, a few days ago, that I was working on a video to release to the public. This is one that my husband and I produced in our kitchen, back in 2008, after four years of spending ourselves in every way we knew how, to get this information into the hands of Christian leaders of our day and to those ministries to whom the vision was specifically given for.

The work is very near completion. We have one more part of the whole, to transfer to new formatting today, and then we will release a new blog where you can access the entire message of this vision.

If I could, I would choose a redo of the session, however I don't have that choice at this time. I ask you to take this vision very seriously, as that is the TONE in which it was given to me. It is very difficult for me to articulate and to open myself up before an audience, to convey, in full, the manner in which I actually received all of this information. You weren't with me, to see me in the floor days and nights ... to see me shaking, trembling, perspiring, weeping, and writhing physically, and in a manner I had never experienced in the Lord, prior! You can't know the turmoil that took place in my mind as a result of receiving revelation of such things. These emotions are extremely personal to me, and yet they are the very essence that you need to receive, as they accompany and bear a truthful witness to the message delivered, and to be passed along!

How the Church is being called upon - to AWAKEN at this time! This is, I repeat, "a monumental moment in the history of mankind"; as the Lord spoke it to me in 2004.

I believe that if you will take the time required, to sit and listen to the prophecy revealed in this video, you will begin to understand what is happening in Egypt. I was, and am still amazed, at how and what the Lord spoke to me as a means of relaying this message to me. Please, take the time to watch (listen); and do so with a prayerful spirit when you do.

This prophecy combined with the rest of the content of Manifesto-Before the Cock Crows, will truly equip you for what things are taking place in our world now, and will enlighten you about things that are yet to come!

These are "tumultuous days" - the Lord spoke to me on July 4, 2007 - "People will get really good at calling upon me." According to everything that has taken place since that date ... I would say that He knows what He's speaking of ... when He does speak.

To our watching and praying together ...

From The Bird's Eye View

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

As soon as my book: Manifesto-Before the Cock Crows, is made ready for distribution; you will upon reading the content therein, be able to envelope and arm yourself with what the Lord referred to as "The Bird's Eye View" of things taking place around us - and even unto us - today.

People are hurting, people are confused, some are frightened, some discouraged and others just plain uncomfortable with our world's present conditions.

The perception of this particular "day and hour" painted on the pages of this work, came out of a called apart time for me in the year 2004. "Leave this job, put your ear to the ground and I will allow you to hear tremors and shaking beneath that others are not hearing". This was the directive that initiated my launch out into deep, dark, uncharted (to me) waters!

At the close of the year, released back to what should have been for me, safe familiar shores; I found myself instead dwelling still, where those mysterious waters had dared to carry me.

The four years following would successfully evade me and I would find myself abandoned - separated and moored - by and unto the inscription of those days "those waves".

Psalm 107: 23-30 - They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; these see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep. For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. They mount up to the heavens, they go down again to the depths, their soul is melted because of trouble. They reel to and fro, and staggar like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble and he bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm so that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them to their desired haven. Oh, that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men.

Morning Meds with Izzy Herriette & Co - Wednesday - FEB 9, 2011 -

Matthew 20:30-34 - And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David. And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace; but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David. And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you? They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened. So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.

So many lessons to be taken away from just this small portion of scripture!

1) How many have been sitting for long periods of time, stuck in an enormous problem, with no one to turn to for help? Seething on the inside, is a cry for help, that churns day in and day out. To add to the agony, there are those who continually walk by, their lives moving along quite nicely. None of these noticing the deep need within another's life and if they do notice, they intentionally turn the other way. Such was the case for these blind ones, that day; I'm sure.

2) Upon hearing that Jesus would pass by them that day and having knowledge of the miracles that He had performed for others, these men, suddenly, felt a glimmer of hope strike through their spirit. But ... who were they? Nobodies! How would they dare to cry out to Jesus in a crowd like that and expect him to pay any mind to them. Yet, something rose up within them. They knew that they would be met with much opposition, by the very ones who passed them by everyday. Finally, self worth, fighting to survive and smothering beneath that massive reservoir of inner struggle, ROSE UP ... and CRIED OUT! Above the opinions of people who had rejected them, their voices hurled into the air; their pleas to a man called Jesus who had shown nothing but love, forgiveness, tender mercies of compassion and healing to all - came bounding forth. Their mustered cries met with the repercussions of the very ones who had dominated them with fear and intimidation, day after day, year upon year. Now the decision: to stand down in humiliation and under the indicted worthlessness of those oppressing them ... or to STAND UP and be counted as they should have been all along. Innate legality and righteousness would demand that they shout ever louder! This was their moment and they dare not miss it now.

3) And Jesus. Oh, this Jesus! God clothed with humanity and shrouded in grace, does what? He STOPS! Not only does He stop but He immobilizes and silences the mobbing mass, to give complete and total audience to these shunned, feeble, frail, lost, destitute, cast out ... humanity ... who Jesus came to lay His very life down for. The atmosphere rings loudly with the deafening silence, as these blind ones come to themselves. Overwhelmed by the dumbing irony of it all, they stumble momentarily, to bring themselves into composure to answer the Master's question, directed to just them!

4) When's the last time you've caused Jesus to stop and inquire of you, "What will ye that I shall do unto you?"

Make this day, your day. I believe He's just waiting for your faith to rise up and speak forth!

Shalom

(This article is in no wise intended to bring humor to a medical/mental disorder or disease! I stand healed in mind, due to the accomplished work of Christ in my life. In this article, the description of this certain illness, applies to and is compared with, the mind of Christ that is to be formed "in us"!)

Matthew 16:13-15 - When Jesus came into coasts of Caes-a-re'-a Phi-lip-pi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? And they said, Some say that thou art ... some ... He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

I hear this scripture over and over again in my spirit, at times when I'm also hearing others' voices, and expressions of their opinions of me. These thoughts can and have been known, to tumble around the grounds of my mind, duking it out to see who will be the haled champion at the end of each round.

Is God's definition of who you are, now that you are in Him through Christ, ever greatly challenged in your life? Do the opinions of man carry far more weight than the Word of God in your life? If so, you can be left in a state, at times, like unto that of multiple personalities; 1) The you - you think you know yourself to be 2) The you - God says you are to be 3) The you - people say you are; or are to be 4) And the list goes on and on.

Multiple personalities ...

What is schizophrenia?

Schizophrenia, also sometimes called split personality disorder, is a chronic, severe, debilitating mental illness that affects about 1% of the population, corresponding to more than 2 million people in the United States alone.

Let me ask you this morning: Does who/what men say you are, have an effect upon you?

Is this us today; in Christ? Are we unstable in Him, today?

Isaiah 51:12,13 - I, even I, am he that comforteth you; who art thou that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass. And forgettest the LORD thy maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?

Isaiah 41:10 - Fear thou not; for I am with thee; be not dismayed; for I am thy God, I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Whose report will we choose to believe? The report of God or that of mere man.

Sometimes it will take a good fight of faith to stand in what we know to be the truth about ourselves - in Him.

Oddly, the true meaning of my given name, by my earth parents, is: Ginger - POISE!

So, take a good guess at where I must find myself to be?

Take just a moment to read the definition of "poise" ... This is where each of us "in Christ" today; need to be established!

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/poise

I pray that you are walking balanced in this day - in Christ.

We need to balance more than just our checkbooks!

Blessings!

Morning Meds with Izzy Herreitte & Co - Saturday - FEB 5, 2011 -

I have shared several times over the past two days on facebook, that I am working at this moment, trying to upload a DVD that I made back in 2008. This is a reading of a portion of Manifesto-Before the Cock Crows. In the video I share a vision given me on May 7, 2004, addressed to two major ministries, as well as to the Church, the Middle East and to all mankind.

I stand in awe today, as I see what things are taking place in Egypt. The prophetic word to me, which I will share in the video, was directly related to Egypt in large part.

We will announce the posting of the DVD as soon as it is in place.

Our prayers are being lifted up, continually, over Egypt at this time. I have to share with you also, that over the past two days, the Lord has placed me in a posture of total silence before Him; a Holy Hush if you will, with regards to the situation at hand. And so we wait before Him, who knows and sees ALL, until such time as He should speak something specific or instruct us more strategically how to pray!

Let us all remain joined together in prayer for the Nations at this time!

I did post other information from various ministries and their view of things happening. You can go to the Wall of my facebook page for those articles and audios. Thank you!

God's Blessing!

Morning Meds with Izzy Herriette - Friday - FEB 4, 2011 -

Zechariah 14:9 - And the Lord shall be king over all the earth; in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

Zechariah 14:11 - And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.

Zechariah 14:12-15 - And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the Lord shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor. And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance. And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.

Zechariah 14:16 - And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.

Peace, peace, peace! Wars, wars and rumors of wars!

How well do we know what the Word of God teaches?

2 Timothy 2:15 - Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

2 Timothy 3:16,17 - All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

How well we do, at doing well - how we stand the tests of time - will depend largely upon our knowledge and understanding of those "times"!

Take the time to educate yourself - TODAY!

Understanding the "times" will save you time, and oh, so much more!

Love and blessings in HIM.
