Morning Meds (in the afternoon) with Izzy Herriette & Co - Thursday - FEB 24, 2011 -
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.)

(Izzy Herriette & Co/Ginger Renken - original - Facebook Album)
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!

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 - Thursday - FEB 17, 2011 -
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.

Morning Meds with Izzy Herriette & Co - Wednesday - FEB 16, 2011 -
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!

Morning Meds with Izzy Herriette & Co - Tuesday - FEB 15, 2011 -
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.
Now, back to the vehicle, the physical one that I actually have to drive around in ...
Have a blessed day everyone and reach your heights in Him today!

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 ...

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.
CONTROVERSY:
Our present world is in controversy with itself. The hard pressed expression is that we are fast paced, busy and driven, therefore, leaving us with no time for meditation. At the same time, we see that meditation (every form thereof), is at the very forefront of focus - it is the posh-padded new pathway, haled in our society today for everyone to trample after. Example: our favorite coffee shops, our luxury retreats, weekend packages for the salvation of our wholeness, spas, message therapy, organics for the health of our mind, body and soul; movies, toys, entertainment and the list goes on, and on, and on ... and the greatest on the list is the "information age". It takes time and attention to digest all of that information out there - all new - and filtered down to us through all new channels! All requiring more, more and more of our time and attention.
Meditate: Webster's 1913 Dictionary
To keep the mind in a state of contemplation; to dwell on anything in thought; to think seriously; to muse; to cogitate; to reflect. | ||
To contemplate; to keep the mind fixed upon; to study. | ||
To purpose; to intend; to design; to plan by revolving in the mind; |
The on-line Bible definitions for "meditate" are very interesting, indeed! I learned that all Old Testament references carried a rather negative connotation to their meaning:
mourn, mutter, roaring, sore, talk, study, imagine, moan, growl, utter, muse, devise, plot, complain, whisper, murmur
Oddly, the New Testament meaning, changes to a positive:
imagine, to care for, attend to carefully, practise, devise, contrive, take care, care about
Hmmm...
Psalm 5: 1 - Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation.
Psalm 19: 14 - Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.
Psalm 49: 3 - My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
Psalm 104: 34 - My meditation of him shall be sweet; I will be glad in the Lord.
Psalm 119:97 - O how I love thy law! It is my meditation all the day.
Psalm 119: 99 - I have more understanding than all my teachers; for thy testimonies are my meditation.
In writing the book: Manifesto - Before The Cock Crows, (which I would say, is an enormous piece of counsel for profiting unto good, to anyone who takes it unto themselves to do it) I found the centrality of the message to be a deep cry to: Watch Over Your Minds - Meditations!
1 Peter 1: 13 - Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
Why is this so important, today?
Let me tell you that there are "wicked" minds out there these days - among family members, friends, neighbors, lawmakers, government officials, national leaders. There are devices being devised in a cunning and crafty way, to change the course of things, in this day. If you are not AWAKENED to this fact - I AM HERE TO AWAKEN YOU! The only reason I can do that, is because the Lord, always, by His Spirit, gives me the head's up!
The things that we're seeing in our world today, I was warned about years ago!
God (if you don't already know) is a man who EXPOSES DARKNESS! God is a man who CRACKS AND CREATES THE DAWNS! God, right now, KNOWS AND SEES ALL and is trying His best to SHAKE SOME OF US UP out of our places of blindness and ignorance!
At this very moment there are FREEDOMS AND LIBERTIES, bearing many different names, which are on the verge of being STOLEN CLEAN AWAY from us!
Do YOU have knowledge of these things? Could you NAME them?
If your answer is NO - you are in the RIGHT place! I CAN help you!
MEDITATIONS are at the BACKBONE of our LIBERTIES at risk right now!
The mind leads the man. So goes the man, so goes the nation; if the majority follows! Sometimes, as is the case at this time, it only takes a few in "influential positions" to change the course of an entire nation. That initiator seeks out, pursues and invests in those who will willingly be like minded, and help to further and to ultimately accomplish their causes.
People can be following a PATH that they see not - like sheep being led, deceptively, over a cliff - IN A FOG!
I believe that we are there, NOW!
There are things going on in high places that we know not of. We're not paying attention. We're not watching. We're not informed. We are out "eating, drinking and being merry". Meantime, there is a watchful, scheming, informed, educated, equipped, strategic, studied-out plotting, taking place over governments.
Do we know and/or understand that? Did we understand 9/11/01, here in the United States?
There were many prophetic people in the land, who knew that 9/11/01 was coming. Would people have heeded their warnings, had they been given?
I was one of them. I led my people, my flock at that time (by instruction and revelation of the Holy Spirit), into a prayer in the floor on 9/2/01. The Lord had spoken to me before service that morning that there was something going on in the unseen realm that we needed the "watch" of His Holy Spirit to be making us aware of!
Goodness clothed with innocence but stripped of wisdom - faces danger!
Matthew 10: 16 - Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves; be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
Serpents: (Gk) - (through the idea of sharpness of vision) - snake, serpent; with the ancients, the serpent was an emblem of cunning wisdom. The serpent who deceived Eve was regarded by the Jews as the devil.
If we desire goodness, we must also realize that there is an imperative to the "maintenance" of that goodness!
We are the benefactors, only, of that which we choose to meticulously be keepers over!
Genesis 2: 15 - And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
Someone has to govern. This is why we have governments. So, what do we choose to be governed by? What kind of lives do we desire to be able to live? Accordingly, we must then go a step further, to take the responsibility to rule unto that end - or choose those who will rule for us - hopefully, unto that end! Or we can sit back, be uninvolved, oblivious, irresponsible and foolish; choosing, thereby, to live under whatever is chosen for us by other activists!
There is, today, even what the Bible tells us in Ephesians 6: 18 - For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
I don't believe that a majority of people in the earth today, have clear vision of how much wickedness is literally lurking in governments today - seeking out places to set up their kingdoms and to begin to RULE!
High places!
I adjure you, by the Spirit of God, to be very, very careful about what you believe in this very day and hour!
The Lord spoke to me in the writing of the book and said, "Ginger, these are days of either the 'harry potter or the Holy Potter'!
Harry: Ravage as an army does. Army, host. To ravage (places) as in war; devastate; pillage, or despoil; also, to harass (persons) by repeated attacks, forced exactions, rapacious demands, etc.; in gen., to harass, trouble, torment, or worry; also, to carry off, as in a raid. To make harassing, incursions.
Potter: One who makes earthen pots or vessels.
Holy: Entitled to worship or profound religious reverence because of divine character or origin, or connection with God or divinity; in general, invested with a sacred character, hallowed, or held in profound reverence; also, specially recognized as or declared sacred by religious use or authority, or consecrated.
In other words, we will be formed by schools of thought and sealed therein. Our fate is in those thoughts! Our end. Or our beginning. All in a school of thought!
Will we choose, this day, to be formed into a Holy thing or a harrowing thing? We must begin to think!
Our nation - the United States of America - is heading towards a true RE-FORMATION!
I know that some people don't see or believe that ... some do. Those who do, are completely taken, by how close we actually are to it and by how suddenly it seems to have come upon us.
One year ago, the Lord gave me a prophetic song for the nations. In this song, the Lord referred to these days as "tumultuous days".
Just this past week, a reporter from Wall Street (a twenty-two year veteran), was on radio, and made this comment regarding the recent Wall Street Fall, " I never in my wildest imaginations, would have thought that I would see a day like this! These are "tumultuous days"! There's just no other way to say it. We are on the verge, one step away from Socialism! Does anyone see that?"
God doesn't "miss" when He speaks prophetically - if it's really Him speaking.
I know that I hear from Him! Therefore, I SPEAK!
WILL YOU HEAR WHAT GOD HAS TO SAY, BY WAY OF HIS MOUTHPIECE?
WE NEED TO BE "AWAKENED"!
THUS, THE CREATION OF THIS PARTICULAR SITE ...
A PLACE TO POST WHAT THINGS THE LORD HAS SAID IN THE PAST ...
To incite a MEDITATION UPON THOSE very THINGS ...
SEE HOW MANY OF THE WORDS SPOKEN, HAVE ALREADY COME TO PASS ...
THEN, TAKE PROPHETIC WORDS FOR THE FUTURE ...
BELIEVE THEM ...
AND BUILD WITH THEM ...
FOR SAFETY SAKE!
We are currently in trouble on many levels, in the world.
So, who will "govern" the situation at hand?
Only ones who have the mind for it!
Nehemiah 4: 6 - So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof; for the people had a mind to work.
I pray that God gives you a mind to work, today - for this day!
