WHAT WE SEE IS WHAT WE GET
In Luke 11 Jesus talks about a candle. He makes the statement in v 33:
“No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.”
This was his way of saying that we should let the light within us shine, and not hide it. He goes on in verse 34 to say
“The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single (meaning unity), thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.”
The unity means that there is a determination to have your whole self filled with the light of God. Eyes, ears, hands, and body. In other words, what we see with our eyes determines what happens within the rest of our body. If we look on evil, then the rest of our body becomes evil.
We live in a day of computers, cell phones, IPads, smart phones, and video games. There is much benefit to all of these devices, but there is also much to be seen that is evil. I am not against any of them. Yet, though the benefits are good, using these devices to spend time looking at things that are not glorifying God is not a good thing. Many video games that youngsters play are full of violence and demonic origins.
I know personally a young boy that played video games and his behavior changed and he became violent in grade school. His grandmother came to live with him to help out while his mother was stationed overseas. She talked to me about his behavior, wondering what she could do to change it. I asked about her if he was playing video games. I counselled her to remove the games from his room. This boy at about 7 or 8 threw a fit, but the grandmother held her ground. His behavior changed for the better after a short while. When his mother came back from overseas he was allowed to play these games again, and got into ongoing behavioral problems, and even tried to commit suicide. So, you see, what is before our eyes greatly influences us.
In the garden of Eden Eve “looked upon the tree and its fruit”. That was the first thing that drew her into sin. Looking causes us to have desires to want things that aren’t good for us. This is how much sin including pornography starts. The scripture tells us in Matthew 5:28
:
“ But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.”
Those are strong words. It starts with looking.
How do we overcome the temptation of looking? We put on the helmet of salvation daily to keep our mind stayed on the things of God. It is a choice. We choose what to look at. I have bought movies and if it had impure content, I would turn it off.
Remember, it started with a look in the garden of Eden, so it continues today. We are to have our eyes full of light, not darkness. Holy Spirit will convict you if you are looking at the wrong things. Don’t be like Adam and Eve that played the blame game. Repent, and make the choice not to continue in darkness. Let the light of God be in you!

PRIDE: A PROUD LOOK
Proverbs 6:16 lists seven things about a person that are an abomination to the LORD. The very first one is “a proud look.” Prov. 16:5 also says,
“Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD. He shall not be unpunished.”
The ancient Greek philosophers and playwrights all considered a haughty self pride to be the greatest sin of mankind. Even though their gods were false ones, they intuitively knew pride was bad and ultimately destructive.
Prov. 15:25 says,
“The LORD will destroy the house (family) of the proud.”
Jesus in speaking to (teaching) his disciples (Mark 7:15-23) told them that it is not what enters a man that defiles him, rather that which comes out of him that defiles him. One of the defiling things he listed was pride (v. 22).
The pride we are talking about is the one where a person thinks more highly of himself than he ought, or think of himself to be better than some other people. It is not the “proud moment” of your child achieving something; you are rightfully proud of them. That kind of pride can be tempered with humility. A haughty self-pride is devoid of humility.
Never think yourself to be “better” than someone else. Your circumstances or behavior may be better than theirs, but don’t devalue them as a person. God sees them all with the same eyes of love equally. Their souls all have equal value to Him whether they are a homeless alcoholic “bum” or the President or king of a country.
A way to remain humble is to look at the ‘down and outer’ and think to yourself these words: "There, but for the grace of God, go I.” A person with a “proud look” cannot say those words. Don’t be that person. Humility is a god-fearing trait and a mark of good character.

Folks it’s time to wake up and realize what’s going on. I refuse to sit back and live in some la-la land and not think nor pray much less publicly voice my heartfelt concerns. Yes, I’m talking about what’s really behind everything that’s going on in our USA.
🇺🇸
It makes no difference to me what you think about me or if you think I’m being biased, racist or whatever else you can say because I’m a Republican who’s 100% behind our President and no he’s not perfect but neither are you and I. Look, I know my heart but most of all my Father God knows me inside and out! Ok...So here goes regardless of what my opinion or yours may be. Forget about corona for now and please just SEE the handwriting on the wall. Digital Dollar (which by the way is nothing but getting us prepared for 1 world government and ultimately the mark of the beast of Rev. 13: 16-17. Our President proposed a stimulus pkg and of course the (excuse me) demonic socialist Democrats says maybe but let’s introduce the digital dollar to do so. Before you try to compare this digital $ to direct deposit.. Please think again. NOT...But it is the beginning of the end of as we know our free life in America. If you want the mark of the beast then go ahead and vote for the Democrats. Then watch out for what they’ll slip in you next IF you refuse to take the vaccine
💉
they’ll be offering for the corona virus. I’ll stop for now but praying folk please PRAY while we’re yet free.

WHEN GOD CONFIRMS HIS WORD!
I've heard or seen others use the word "unprecedented" in regards to what is happening, probably 20 times in the last few days. Someone also sent me a message saying they heard Hannity say "It's The Best of Times, and It's The Worst of Times". You can't make this stuff up!
"There will be other historic and unprecedented storms, disasters, and events that will happen in different places in the earth." - Excerpt from "Best of Times, Worst of Times" word, July 2018
NOW...please listen to me. There are other "unprecedented" things coming this year, some perhaps overlapping what is currently happening with COVID-19. The enemy is hitting hard, and he's going to be hitting with numerous strikes...one after the other and some overlapping. Be prayed up and be prepared!!
I had a dream this last week of major flooding. It was at my ankles one minute, and then at my thighs the next. Yes...I know, I know.
😉
Ezekiel and the River coming from the temple.
Did this dream signify only amazing Glory coming in the spirit? I believe it is coming...
HOWEVER...what I felt in the dream was a sense of urgency to run to higher ground, and that there was danger. I take much note of how I feel and what I sense in my dreams. This was something to warn about.
Could it be both...a flooding in the natural, and that signifying an outpouring and flooding in the spiritual? Absolutely! I do believe we are on the precipice of great outpourings of the Spirit in many locations, just as may have been praying for!
Many times, the natural mirrors what is happening in the spiritual...BUT that doesn't mean we shouldn't be prepared in the natural for what is coming. It means...as the Lord has told me, that we need to be prepared for both!
This is our finest hour people of God! As the darkness grows darker...our light will shine brighter! Let's pray against damaging flooding, both here in the U.S. and in other parts of the world, and that the Lord will release strategies for His people, regarding how to prepare, and on what to do in the situations that are coming! I have sensed major tornado "ourbreaks" here in the U.S. this spring and summer, as well as several hurricanes that will try to form also.
The "tornado outbreaks" will be many breaking out in one region in one day. Let's pray against damage from that. Pay attention when the Lord gives you dreams or senses about these things, and how He would have you to intercede to stop or reduce damage in your region! Remember to apply the blood, and know your authority!
It is time...for the manifestation of the Sons and Daughters of God in the earth!
