Shine Through the Shift!

Shine Through the Shift!

A Word for September

 A new wind blows.  The breath of My Spirit is shifting things.  Situations long stuck are being released and set free.  “Suddenlies” will abound “for such a time as this!”

There is much work ahead for My people.  This month is the “shift.”  Rosh Hashanah ushers in the New Year…the new season…and it is sealed on Yom Kippur.

My glory will fall mightily.  As darkness ensues…shine all the brighter.  Be the city set on the hill!

“Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn

Pentecost

 

Today we celebrate Pentecost. This is a most powerful day in the Spirit.  Pentecost falls 50 days after Passover which commemorates the Jewish exodus from Egypt.

Between Passover and Pentecost is a sacred time not only of anticipation but also of deep reflection. 

We have been delivered from sin should we choose to walk in that freedom.  We have journeyed through  these last 50 days seeking the Spirit. 

Our prayer is always that He will come and burn the dross from each of our hearts (for it is always a heart issue) and lives so we may arise in His

Kingdom Vignettes

The Lord recently put it on my heart to begin publishing “Kingdom Vignettes.”  The writings were to specifically be called vignettes…short descriptions. 

I looked up the history of the word vignette and according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary:  “Vignette comes from Middle French vignete, the diminutive form of the noun vigne, meaning “vine.” In English, the word was first used in the mid-18th century for a design or illustration that ran along the blank border of a page, or one that marked the beginning or end of a chapter. Such designs got their name because they often looked like

The Christmas Table

This Christmas as you sit down at your holiday table surrounded by friends and loved ones; make sure you leave room for Jesus.

Offer thanks for the freedom you experience to be able to celebrate this day.

Never forget our true freedom this day and every day lies in Jesus Christ.  All freedom begins there.

Today, as we commemorate His first coming to earth and await His second coming, let us pray for those less fortunate.

Remember those who are alone this day.  Offer a prayer for the lonely, the disenfranchised, those who have lost loved ones and see an

Wise Men Still Seek Him-An Eggnog Vignette

There is a dairy in Southwest Virginia, Homestead Creamery, that puts out special Scripture bottles ever holiday season.  The bottles appear around Thanksgiving and continue to be available through December for the current year.

Not all production includes this Scripture bottle so you have to keep an eye out for one.  My favorite is their holiday egg nog.

This year each time I went to the grocery store they were sold out of the eggnog.   One day I went to check, just in case, and lo and behold there were two holiday bottles of eggnog…only two!  I picked them both
