God is faithful! He will never set you up for something that he wont guide you by the hand through. This week I realized jow much he loves to see is happy, even in the little things.
Psalm 106:1 Praise the Lord.
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
his love endures for ever. 
For those of you who need HOPE awakened inside of you let this verse be your promise, as we forget the past and look forward to what lies ahead, We press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Jesus Christ, is calling us. Phil 3:13-14.
Isaiah 43:18-19 “But forget all that—it is nothing compared to what I am going to do. For I am about to do something new.See, I have already begun! Do you not see it?I will make a pathway through the wilderness.I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.
I love seeing the parallel of the Old Testament and the New Testament in these two promises.
My Favorite Song, Hope’s Anthem! Let your hope be stirred this morning!!
Meditating on Psalms 91 today. I always have to find just the right picture that displays what is in my spirit for each verse. Happy Birthday America! I declare over my country today:
United States of America, you who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, will rest in the shadow of the Almighty! Americans will say of the Lord, YOU are our refuge and Our fortress, Our God in YOU will We TRUST!”
I just read Lana Vawser’s word after posting the following on a friends post. HOPE IS THE KEY WORD – do not give up your intercession. Our responsibility of standing in the gap has only increased.
We can either be stirred up in anger and hatred or there are those of us who are stirred up with a righteous indignation at the sin and spirit of immorality that is being welcomed and celebrated in our nation. The feelings some prophetic intercessors feel is one of a heavy burden for our country because we know without a Divine move of the spirit across our land it is only going to get worse.
“If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face, then I will hear from heaven forgive their sin and heal their land.”
When you see prophetically with eyes and ears of the spirit, just like the prophets who wrote the OT, you can see the blessings and the curses at the same time. That is why you may be hearing the “doom and gloom” from religious leaders. It is a very hard thing to process knowing the consequences of curses. There are always blessings and the potential of outpouring that God wants to release and has promised He will release. But at the same time, He will not force Himself on anyone with the intention of forcing their will. In America there are millions who are crying out to God and I believe revival is in each of our hearts and is our responsibility to release the kingdom on Earth. God is coming and will continue to pour out his Spirit and glory like the waters cover the sea- in a way that we have only dreamed about.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. We need to cry out to God for a miracle that our next leader is one who will stand for righteousness and put people into office who will do the same. We can clearly see what happens when leaders have a goal of destroying the moral fabric our nation was founded on. I believe the next move of the spirit has to do with God’s people’s hunger and desperation, just like it has done in the past. If we do not intercede through the eyes of Hope we will only focus on the negative. We can declare and release blessings over our country, while at the same time humbling ourselves and repenting for the sins of our country. Sometimes feeling schizophrenic because you carry excitement and hope while at the same time understanding the results of a society when sinful choices are made. Perspective and balance and eyes of hope. Our eyes need to be steadfast on Him while being those who stand in the gap on behalf of our land. If we all saw the world through Rose colored glasses, as many do, denying any possibility of evil or the consequences of sinful lifestyles, we would never have anything to stand in the gap for. We would think, everything is going to be just fine. There would be no urgency and fire to prophetically declare and intercede. We need the balance of rest, trust and hope as well as a fire in our bones to boldly approach the Throne of Grace and intercede on behalf of our land.
When I saw this video yesterday (https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10153476138975921)
I could not get out of my mind what I believe God was saying. I kept hearing the phrase , THIS IS A SEASON OF COMPLETION OF PROMISES! Get ready for the promises that God has spoken over your life to begin to come full circle. One of my favorite life verse is
Isaiah 55:11 “so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.”
God can not lie. What He has said, He will do! Take hold of His promises and declare them over your life. When you come into agreement with His promises and declare them over your present situation it is activating your faith and aligning your prayers with God’s will.
Matthew 21:21 Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done. 22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”
We cannot even comprehend the amount of creative energy that is held in a single word that God speaks. God spoke and it was created! What words of God are you speaking over your life?

5/29/15: UPDATED BELOW: (warning graphic) 3 ways to check how your innocent kids may be affected by unintentional trash on their electronics. Parents, if you have minor children in your house who have access to a iPhone, iPod, iPad or other brand devices, You need to read this! Have you done a check recently on what they have been engaging with? I would severely encourage you to set boundaries with your kids and have them realize their electronics are a privilege not a right and you have access anytime to do a check. And do it weekly if needed. With our kids they are required to tell us what the password is and give us access it anytime. When they try to swipe things up before they hand it over it puts me on edge. For those of you who need help in a technological way of how to look at their history here are three ways to do it
Go to:
Settings -General- Usage – Battery Usage (this will show you which apps or things they have had open in the last 24 hours or more)
The most important one is to check what they have been watching on the Internet. This can be done two ways: first go to Safari.
On Safari – click on the book in the toolbar below- then look at history
The next most important and most revealing is to go on to that YouTube app – clicked on the dashed lines in the top left-hand corner and select history. Many apps from games nowadays will ask kids if they want free coin by viewing a video. But the sinful crap that comes before their eyes and ears is something you will never be able to take away. I recommend removing any game that requires young kids to watch videos for free coins. The temptation is so great because any kid wants free coins. But what comes through the speakers would absolutely make you throw up like it did with me tonight. Even though my son said he never watches the videos he turns them over when they begin to play and does not listen to your phones, the level of filth I saw was beyond sick. I need to pray a cleansing prayer over myself from just what I saw (Pig in a Strip Club) need I say more!
Parents this is not legalistic and it is not taking away your kids choices, it is been a good parent. A parent that loves your kids. Parent who’s teaching them to make good choices. But sometimes kids need a revelation on what those choices are. God tells us to train up a child in the way he should go and when he is older he will not depart. (Proverbs 22:6)
Training doesn’t mean tell them one time and expect they will do it right every time. It is up to us to show them what a godly standard is.
Its when you see secretive behavior when you begin questioning kids that you know there is something there that is pricking their conscience. We cant give up asking questions and asking the Holy Spirit to bring to light what is hidden. If not there is a path of destruction drawing them in. We need to pray that God gives parents and guardians wisdom. On how to train our kids hearts. The temptation of this world is absolutely horrible and going to get worse. God have mercy on the parents of the last generation.

There are two other amazing computer protection and accountability websites:
Covenant Eyes: http://www.covenanteyes.com
Net Nanny: http://www.netnanny.com
This Mobicip site is amazing. I just paid for the premium subscription and it is worth every penny. I just installed it on my kids devices. You can customize everything specifically and what is restricted as well as customize each of the 5 devices and their security level. Tim and I are getting set up on it now. This is the first program I have found that uses its own browser to help block restricted sites. I am so thankful God led me to this.
Article from Time Magazine on Christians and Pornography (Thank you to my friend Shara for sending this to me)
UPDATED 5/29/15
I would never post a picture like this except my son was just playing an Angry birds Transformer edition on my phone and clicked on the option to watch a video to get extra game rewards (which I have to sternly remind him he is not aslllowed to do) While he said he flipped the phone over while it was playing, my phone rang and this was what was on my screen when I hung up!!!! 
I realize now I need to have as strict rules on my phone that I have set up for my kids. The video played inside the game app so I dont know if it would have been blocked anyways. I am one fired up mama!! YOUR KIDS COULD BE SEEING THIS EVERY DAY AND YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW!!! We have to be VIGILANT!!

Lets just say, it was a very bad morning. Which started last night when my daughter finally let me wiggle her tooth that needed to come out because she has another one behind it coming in. Unfortunately we didn’t stop till 9:45 PM which was way past their bedtime. (Husband not happy) The tooth is still in there. That affected everybody else at night and this morning as they were very tired. My oldest (12yrs) didn’t have clothes that were clean because he did not follow directions and put them in the washing machine over the weekend, dispite 3 reminders. Then he broke his brother’s plastic gun by sitting on it. Which resulted in a very mad brother.
All in all, everybody got to school on time and I was very happy to know that I am not superwoman. Despite my day starting off the way it did I will not live in a state of frustration or depression. God said,
I am so thankful that I can rely on his grace and strength every day. Because if I had to go on my own, it would’ve stopped about 12 years ago.
NEVER FORGET- GOD DID NOT CREATE YOU WITH A CAPE! So stop living under the expectations of being superwoman.
I realized today that I need to make sure I am DAILY declaring the promises of God over myself, my children, my family and friends, my church, my city and my nation.
I just purchased the book “65 Promises from God for your child” by Mike Shreve. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1616389605/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1432068946&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SY200_QL40&keywords=65+promises+from+god+for+your+child&dpPl=1&dpID=510LChhk6yL&ref=plSrch)
I am literally trembling with excitement just reading the first few pages. It is time to start to DAILY declare the promises of God over my children. As I declare it will change my own attitude and shift my spirit to be focused on my kids are the eyes of Christ.
Here is the article I found out about his book
http://www.charismamag.com/life/relationships/16417-learn-to-claim-god-s-promises-for-your-children
Tonight I stepped into something that allowed my son to experience music like he had been desperate for. The mainstream Christian music scene has done a very poor job of catering to a group of society who kick it just a little bit different. My son heard dubstep from a video game and then asked friends what it was. Without me knowing he began listening to many different songs (that was before our Mobicip app was installed). Although there are few to little words there is always the spirit behind the music that drastically affects him. When you have a kid who is very spiritually sensitive I have learned that I have to teach him to be careful what is feeding him. I was desperate and reached out to a old friend (Andrew Iverson) who I knew had talked in the past about the mainstream Christian music scene being soo limited. He turned me on to http://www.ChristianDanceMusic.net
This website is absolutely incredible. David has been going through it today looking for the artists he likes. There are many more genres besides dubstep for you to check out. PARENTS WE NEED TO BE VIGILANT, and TAKE TIME TO FIND RIGHTEOUS REPLACEMENTS for what our kids are drawn to. I am not going to reject a genre altogether just because I do not personally enjoy it myself. If I deny my kid something that is enticing him, just because it does not fit into the traditional Christian framework, and I do not take the time and effort to find another way to replace what was lost, I may lose him, and I WILL NOT LOSE HIM! On the flip-side if I allow my son to listen to secular music that is attached to pornography, violence and witchcraft (just check out what the artists endorse like I did, yikes!!) than I will lose him for not guiding him biblically. I want my kids to have a heart for music that glorifies God, it just takes a little digging. Thank you so much Andy!!
