Paul writes in no uncertain terms…”We make it our aim…..to be well pleasing to Him.” 2 Cor 5:9
Are you in AWE of GOD?
Without awe of the ALMIGHTY, there is no access to His insights. From Wisdom Hunters.
Be in AWE of the birds and Trees and Doggies, kitty’s…the mountains…the lakes…. today……..
Do you Fear God?
The person who fears God has nothing to hide………just look around you..see all those things being exposed on Radio, TV, newspaper news this morning? People have been hiding their sins.
He or she who fears God, is scared to be away from God! I am!
King David had a holy fear of God but still ran toward Him and said, “Search me, O God and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you” Psalm 139:23-24
You are going to love what Monica has to share in just a bit…..it may make you EXPLODE IN GLORY!
In our study of Proverbs we are in Chapter 6……
Verse 12-14……A worthless person, a wicked man, is he who goes about with a perverse contrary, wayward mouth. He winks with his eyes, he speaks by shuffling or tapping with his feet, he makes signs to mislead and deceive and teaches with his fingers. Willful and contrary in his heart, he devises trouble, vexation, and evil continually; he lets loose discord and sows it.
Anyone you know?
Please read the whole Chapter yourself………
Please pray for Shelly Crawford as she goes through the pains of divorce. Shelly and I have been communicating from her home in Indianapolis, Indiana. This is a very, very tough time.
I also talked with another wonderful lady yesterday, a Divine appointment, who is going through divorce.
We had a Godly talk…….we must realize that many do not have a Pastor and Church home to help them through these troubled waters.
50% of those who listen to Christian radio do not have a Church home.
A couple of the greatest lies told to people are: You will get over it, WRONG!……….you don’t completely ever recover in so many ways and the other great lie is the Kid’s are going to be okay. The Kid’s never completely recover.
Pastor Barry Dickens,”Divorce is like a living death….the marriage is dead but both people still live.”
If you are in need of marriage counseling please contact me and I will put you in touch with Godly people to help you and yours.
We are so blessed to have with us this morning once again Monica Miller-Ruhl. WOW, I first met Monica when Pastor Bill brought his beautiful bride into the Radio Ranch. Monica has written a book, “Birthing Kingdom Destiny” I strongly encourage you to read it! I am going to re-post Monic’a DYNAMITE first message we posted a few weeks ago…..it is so POWERFUL……..and then she has a new message for us!
Hang on to your hat as the winds of the Holy Spirit blow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For God’s Glory Alone!!!
Here we go…………..
“Behold, we go up to Jerusalem.” (Luke 18)
Jerusalem stands in the life of Our Lord as the place where He reached the climax of His Father’s will. “I seek not Mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent Me.” That was the one dominating interest all through our Lord’s life, and the things He met with on the way, joy or sorrow, success or failure, never deterred him from His purpose. “he steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem.”
The great thing to remember is that we go up to Jerusalem to fulfill God’s purpose, not our own. Naturally, our ambitions are our own; (but) in the Christian life we have no aim of our own. There is so much said to-day about our decisions for Christ, our determination to be Christians, our decisions for this and that, but in the New Testament it is the aspect of God’s compelling that is brought out (of you). -Oswald Chambers
It is always “life” to give up our will for the will of the Father, that is what going up to Jerusalem is!
His will is “kingly” and lives in the domain of radiant pure Wisdom–an exquisite beauty of fragrances that are unearthly and exceedingly heavenly in the glories of His divine nature. You might say…God is a pure living Stone defined in one word: MAJESTIC! Unrelenting, His Wisdom speaks Truth in Agape compelling us to go up to Jerusalem.
Like a fountain of eloquent grace radiant and majestic, YHWH seeks to quiet the soul in His holy repose (state of being at rest).
We are called and destined to such a high place in Christ that exceeds our earthly minds and therefore cannot be found in the natural mind-state as even found out by Nicodemus. This call requires the developed virtues of “humility” and “meekness” as we ascend in the profound abode of His unfeigned (genuine) love that He would acquire (gain possession) in us the true “sonship” treasure.
When we are emptied of “self” in every way, we become a habitation for His kingly rule (government) in which His holiness invades our being. And as Paul stated: it is no longer I who live [that being the
self-life of Paul] but that Christ in Paul lived through Paul [that
being the “nature” and “ability” of Christ reigning in Paul’s life]. (see Gal. 2:20)
We can have life in Christ or greater than this, Christ’s life (His nature and ability) expressed from within us having arrived at “self” being fully emptied (or crucified) of all old nature issues. This is the completed process of the exchanged life in which Christ now lives His life through the obedient undeterred believer. The self-life is denied over and over and the new creation man is fully developed by the “processes” of the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit who is assigned to align us in “all things” with the Father’s perfect will. Our only existence in this completed state is the existence of God living in us having become fully owned and fully occupied by Him. Here He is completely enthroned in all areas of our souls with the grace of His repose. (suggested reading: Thrones Of Our Souls by Paul Keith Davis).
If we accept His invitation and embrace the work of His grace, we will be completely transformed into the image of Christ. This is the living cocoon of our Salvation designed specifically to achieve this noble purpose. *(Vision shared on Sunday about the cocoon of our Salvation). We are not saved to have a life of our own although many will leave off there. We are saved and invited into a place in God of which Christ Himself walked with the Father “as One”. THIS IS THE SANCTUARY OF UNION–Our full inheritance of the life of Christ living through the steadfast yielded believer who is ever penetrably seeking to know Him in all things (circumstances).
·
Heidi Baker called this place the place of “laid down lovers”, a selfless life.
·
Graham Cooke calls it “the life of upgrades”.
·
The Apostle Paul called it “the obedient crucified life”.
·
Jesus calls it “the exchanged life”.
·
Watchman Nee defines that the “outer man” must be broken in order to release the true Spiritual life.
·
300 hundred years have passed since Madame Guyon captured and wrote this trust worthy essence for which she too, like Watchman Nee, was imprisoned and claimed as “the woman who loved Christ too much”. Yet her writings passed through spiritual giants like John Wesley, Watchman Nee, Hudson Taylor, the early Quakers, Jessie Penn-Lewis, Fenelon, and countless others. Madame Guyon shares the following significant spiritual insights. By giving up “self” to the destroying and annihilating power of divine love, the soul ascends to God. This state of sacrifice in which the soul allows “self” to be destroyed and annihilated so that it may submit itself to the sovereignty of God is essential to [true] Christianity……….. By the destruction of “self” we acknowledge the supreme existence of God. We must cease to exist in “self” in order that the Spirit of the Eternal Word may exist in us. It is by giving up our own life, that we give place to His coming. And [it
is] in dying to ourselves, that He lives in us.
We must surrender our “whole being” to Christ Jesus, and cease to live any longer in ourselves so that He may become our life: “For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:3). “Pass ye into Me,” sayeth God, “all ye who earnestly seek after Me.” But how do we pass into God? The only way is by leaving and forsaking ourselves so that we may be lost in Him. This can be brought about only by annihilation, which is true prayer of adoration, and which renders unto God alone all “blessing, and honor, and glory, and power…forever and ever.”
This prayer of truth is that which “worship[s] the Father in spirit and in truth.” “In spirit” because we are drawn away from our own carnal and human methods. “In truth,” because we enter into the truth of the all of God, and the nothing of us.
There are but these two truths, the all and the nothing–everything else is false. We can pay due honor to the “all of God”, only in [our own
nothingness], our own “annihilation”. The instant this is accomplished, God who never allows a void in nature, instantly fills us with Himself.
The “fruit” just squeezed out and sampled from these lives I’ve just shared, as well as many other contemporaries not mentioned yet equally worthy, has become timeless nourishment that must not vanish from within our hearts because its centrality is in the “seed” of the Tree of Life.
Our life is composed of sands of time in which we are offered to know this lofty place in God while we are yet here on earth. There is no rewind button, only the opportunity now to diligently seek Him while He may be found. Our destiny is calling us to ultimately tabernacle with God. We need only to obey Him at “all cost” and He will make the exchange (trans-formation) complete from the glorious wonders in the “cocoon of our Salvation”.
How do we love God? He gave His life up for us. Will we completely give our entire life up for Him? How much of us does God truly own? What He does not yet have……is our assignment to overcome! We must go up to Jerusalem–it is His compelling.
The “life of self” must be totally annihilated in order for the life of Christ to totally reign in us. Every trial and test is designed by God to bring an end to the life of our “old nature”. These tests and trials are the “messengers of God” serving eviction notice where the thrones of our soul are choosing to still rule (desiring it’s own way and own justice; self, in control). Pride must ultimately be dethroned–it is God’s compelling! And that in this, for us, He might gain the rule and reign from within–enthroned completely in the “all” of our soul.
“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth! (Matt. 5:5)
Could it be that our Lord’s glorious words spoken from the mountain to His “disciples” two thousand years ago, are in fact the hidden virtues calling us into sonship today?

Dear Believers,
We are in the “process”=(many stages) of many things being “exposed” and everything outside of Christ is being shaken out. The final goal is that Jesus will rule and reign within His people with His government. How awesome! Many shifts and changes are coming and God has been preparing our hearts in Him for this profound transition/transaction. I want to encourage your hearts to keep your eyes on Him (not circumstances)–it is His goodness at work through the continuous prayers of intercession. Stay strong in the Lord–receive His virtue of “strength” today. We must “let go” of our expectations that are apart from His and learn to walk in His wisdom from above (it’s not earthly). This keeps us teachable and enables us to walk in the revelatory realm. His plans are so high, so wise, so glorious, so awesome, so true. Step into the fire of change and receive all that God has for you dear ones. He is the God of more!
Kingdom of God come…Will of God be done on earth as it is in heaven. Amen. ~monica
May I share an excerpt from “Birthing Kingdom Destiny” as an encouragement?
“Imagine a roadway construction site. A myriad of things are engineered systematically to
remove the old and emerge the new. Initially this picture paints a state of chaos as the
former things are dismantled. The disruption creates delays, waiting, detours, slower
traffic, less alternative routes, congestion, and other potential discomforts to the traveler.
It is a narrow place. Here the virtue of patience is greatly tested as the old identity dies
off and we learn to submit to God’s purposes with right heart attitudes. Being evicted
from our pleasantries tends to provoke the soul. This component of transition is called
“shaking”. It serves the purpose of retaining those things (the kingdom) that cannot be
shaken (Hebrews 12:27-29). Staying the course of change will eventually produce pro-
motion (favorable-change). For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says
the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in
your final outcome. (Jer 29:11) AMP
Looking again at “annihilation” from quantum physics we understand that the substance
(particles) are not made into “nothing”, but rather “new particles” (substance). Applying
this understanding in the kingdom realm enlarges this revelation. Since we are receiving
a kingdom that cannot be shaken what remains is the indestructible DNA (substance) of
God. God cannot destroy Himself. His kingdom substance therefore will always remain.
As things shift and change the DNA (substance) of God is reshaped into something new,
larger, and greater. This is the working of His creative power and is the mystery of
“kingdom increase”. (See Daniel 2, the little stone grows into a mountain until it fills the
whole earth.)”
[In “Birthing Kingdom Destiny”, below each chapter heading, a Scripture is given that opens the door to what is penned. In
chapter 13 (interestingly, unplanned 13=”revolution”) John 12:24-26 AMP
refers to the chapter’s title: Transitioning To A New Seed-Assignment,
but in this case can be expanded to mean “A NEW SEASON” – TRANSITIONING
TO A NEW SEASON!]

July 13, 2012. The prophets among you who speak only for and from Me are worthy of honor. But some prophets of today are speaking from their own flesh and for their own gain. I am sending a harbinger to correct the present day prophets who do not speak for Me. I am sending a judgment against them by withholding my supernatural power. They will speak boldly but My power will not be manifested through them. This will begin a sign that the end of days are upon the earth today. A correction must come for the sake of My people. Therefore, let the cleansing of the house of the Lord begin and move with speed and force.
Matthew 13:57-58 (NASB) “And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own household.” And He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief.” Ras Robinson

July 13, 2012. I have designed and constructed your body to heal itself. If you knew what is going on inside you right now, you would be amazed. Listen to Me. I am giving you signals of what and what not to do. You have gone the other way of what I have said. Many of the instructions of what to do are in My word. You have read them before but they didn’t sink in. Now is the time to read again about worry, anger, fear, cursing, jealousy, judgment, forgiveness. It is all there. You have had enough sermons to change you, but you have to apply what you read and hear.
Psalms 109:17-18 (NASB) “He also loved cursing, so it came to him; And he did not delight in blessing, so it was far from him. But he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment, And it entered into his body like water And like oil into his bones.” Bev Robinson

July 13, 2012. Depression has become a celebrated catchphrase in our world. Media and society have dictated the causes and effects of this awful disease. Drug companies are making millions of dollars off of this much publicized disorder. Things like this should not be received within our realm. Yet, this is another ploy of Satan to cast people into despair and bring chaos. The Lord says, “Receive who I say you are and walk out the Spirit filled life! You are healed and you are whole! Embrace My hope! I came to bring good news. Receive it! You are not defeated; you are victorious! You are not depressed; you are exalted above with Me!”
Luke 4:18-19 (NIV) “The Spirit of the Lord is on me,because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” Kevin Robinson
Here’s Doctor Joe and the Medical bag………
Back pain, arthritis, headaches and other pain can be debilitating. In addition to the discomfort, pain limits your activities. It also contributes to poor sleep, depression and stress.
Unfortunately, chronic pain affects hundreds of million people. According to the Arthritis Foundation, more than 46 million men, women and children suffer from arthritis. Millions more suffer from chronic back pain, sore joints and muscles, and headaches.
That’s the bad news. The good news is that most pain is the result of chronic inflammation. And chronic inflammation can be controlled or even eliminated.
That’s why non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (or NSAIDs) are so effective at relieving pain. They target inflammation. Unfortunately, these drugs carry a high price. That includes liver damage, stomach bleeding and perforations in the gut. Not to mention potentially deadly heart attacks, according to research in the British Medical Journal.
Chronic inflammation is caused by a number of lifestyle factors. This includes your activity level, the amount you sleep and the level of stress in your life. Most importantly, inflammation is caused by the foods you eat (or those you don’t).
Ban the Inflammatory Foods
The first step to create a pain-fighting diet is to eliminate inflammatory foods. This includes:
– Sugar, from any source
– Commercially fried foods (like French fries, donuts, chips)
– Refined flour products (like white bread, white pasta, crackers, etc)
– Vegetable and seed oils, rich in omega-6 fatty acids (including corn oil, canola oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil, peanut oil and vegetable oils)
– Trans fats found in a variety of packaged and fried foods (look for “hydrogenated” or “partially hydrogenated” on the label)
– Processed packaged foods (like chips and crackers containing refined oils and flours)
– Gluten and other allergenic foods – allergies and intolerances contribute to systemic inflammation. This varies by individual. Consider allergy testing (like ALCAT) to see if your food sensitivities could be a culprit in your pain.
Once you’ve cleared your cupboards of these pain-promoting foods, stock up on…
Delicious and Powerful Pain Fighting Foods
Many foods have been proven to reduce inflammation. Here are the foods that can quell pain and discomfort:
– Wild Fish – Wild fish provide an abundant source of omega-3 fatty acids (particularly EPA and DHA). These healthy fats boost hormone-like compounds that decrease pain and inflammation. They also act directly on the immune system by suppressing the release of cytokines. These inflammatory immune compounds are known to destroy joints. Get these anti-inflammatory fats by taking a high quality fish oil and consuming sustainable, safe seafood like wild salmon, mackerel and sardines. As in yesterday’s Tilapia article check out Vital Choice http://www.vitalchoice.com/shop/pc/home.asp
– Pastured Animal Fat – Grass-fed beef (and dairy) contain high levels of an anti-inflammatory fat called conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). These foods are also an excellent source of omega-3 fats.
– Cruciferous Vegetables like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, bok choy, kale, cabbage and cauliflower. These foods are rich in protective compounds such as sulforaphane. This has been strongly linked to anti-inflammatory action.
– Berries – Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, cranberries and many others are packed with antioxidants and inflammation fighting phenolics.
– Turmeric – The curcumin contained in this tasty spice has been shown to be more effective against pain and inflammation than expensive (and risky) pharmaceutical drugs. The reason? Curcumin suppresses pain through the same mechanism as COX-1 and COX-2 inhibitors…without the harmful side effects.
– Ginger – A relative of turmeric, ginger contains gingerols. These compounds reduce pain-causing prostaglandins. Ginger also provides relief from headaches, menstrual pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis, according to research conducted by the University of Maryland Medical Center.
– Cherries – Studies show that anthocyanins – found in tart cherries and other crimson foods – can provide relief from the stiffness and pain associated with arthritis. In fact, a 2009 study conducted at Baylor Medical Center found that cherry extract provided similar relief to NSAID drugs. Another study at Michigan State found that tart cherry extract is ten times more effective than aspirin at relieving inflammation!
– Red Pepper – Kicking up the spice in your meals can do a lot to cool off pain. Thanks to the compounds capsaicin and salicylates, hot peppers have an aspirin-like effect on pain. Capsaicin also prompts the release of endorphins – the body’s natural pain blockers.
In addition to avoiding pro-inflammatory foods and filling your plate with the proven pain fighters above, be sure to:
– Maintain a healthy weight. Excess body fat promotes inflammation and chronic pain.
– Get better sleep. You need a minimum of seven to nine hours of sleep to ensure optimal health and keep stress hormones and inflammation levels low.
– Relax. Make the time to relax your mind and ease your body from all tension.
– Exercise regularly. Exercise for at least 30 minutes, three times a week. Even walking can do a world of good!
By following these simple rules, you can dramatically reduce inflammation… help to ease chronic pain… and slash your risk for disease.
Have a wonderfully blessed and safe weekend!
Thanks Dr. Joe!
