Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

THE DISCIPLINE OF HEEDING
“What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.” Matt. x. 27
At times God puts us through the discipline of darkness to teach us to heed Him. Song birds are taught to sing in the dark, and we are put into the shadow of God’s hand until we learn to hear Him. “What I tell you in darkness” – watch where God puts you into darkness, and when you are there keep your mouth shut. Are you in the dark just now in your circumstances, or in your life with God? Then remain quiet. If you open your mouth in the dark, you will talk in the wrong mood: darkness is the time to listen. Don’t talk to other people about it; don’t read books to find out the reason of the darkness, but listen and heed. If you talk to other people, you cannot hear what God is saying. When you are in the dark, listen, and God will give you a very precious message for someone else when you get into the light.
After every time of darkness there comes a mixture of delight and humiliation (if there is delight only, I question whether we have heard God at all), delight in hearing God speak, but chiefly humiliation – What a long time I was in hearing that! How slow I have been in understanding that! And yet God has been saying it all these days and weeks. Now He give you the gift of humiliation which brings the softness of heart that will always listen to God NOW.

Hi Stevie, Thank you for posting.
I want to walk in the light as Jesus is in the light; but I know that as long as I am here, at best I will see obscurely as through a glass. I don’t want to be saying, I see; only for the Lord to pronounce me still in sin. And I don’t know what I don’t know! The light He has given to me, to me is great; but to him it is still dark and obscure, compared to what we ought to know. But what I do know, I want to do with all my heart, in earnest determination, and never give place to the devil, or anyone that would cause me to wander out of the strait and narrow way. I know I have a lot of things that need work; but that doesn’t make me a sinner, or a constant failure. It means that I’m not where Jesus is gonna finally bring me, and I’m not what I want to be; but I am definitely NOT what I used to be.
I find writing is a therapy in some sense; it is a way to process what the Holy Spirit is showing me in the Scriptures, in some ways difficult to express. So when I write, it forces me to simplify, put things in order, have a point, come to the point, and in all of it examine myself, and things I think I observe in others. Its like a Process Group of sorts. 🙂
Thanks again. Have a great day Sister!
Oh! and Happy Valentines Day! 🙂
You are welcome Michael. Each of us has our own lessons to grow in God. It is interesting to hear about how others translate spiritual lessons. Peace and Blessings 🙏
There are scriptures that speak about how Jesus spoke to people in parables but explained them to His disciples. And there are many private meetings of the Resurrected Jesus with His disciples reported on in the scriptures. Well, this was well before His death.
A lot of people take this as instructions to not hide what He tells them. To speak openly about the Gospel.
It will also be a great counter to the Gnostics and their secret knowledge. But that will be long afterwards.
I found a compilation of commentaries. And it is amazing how much 1st century Jewish practice is being alluded to.
Matthew 10:27 Commentaries: “What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops. (biblehub.com)
Luke 12:3 even flips this on its head, warning that nothing they do will be kept secret.
It is amazing all the different ways of explaining a passage of scripture.
This was good! I never put those two instances of scripture together. The first was Jesus privately explaining Truth to the disciples, the second (Luke 12:2-4) was a warning to the Pharisees…interesting and food for thought! Thanks Jim 🙏
Hi Jim,
I have been impressed how that the Lord expounded everything to His disciples, of what He could only speak to the crowds in limited ways. It is the same kingdom of heaven He preached at large throughout the country; only with us who are His disciples, He reveals and teaches what all that means in real life application. And that is how we are made His witnesses to the world, when these things are real and living and being manifested in us, where the others can see. We all know how keen people are to what is true and what is a sham: sometimes I think the unsaved display more practical honesty and discernment than many Christians, who tend to live a little bit in the fantasy. That’s why they aren’t fooled by the ridiculous shows and blatant hypocrisy. But when they get to see or be around a real Spirit-filled Believer, then the Holy Spirit can do his work with them that He wants to.
Always grateful for you Stevie, happy Valentine’s Day hope you got some beautiful flowers or something to show your appreciated. I appreciate you! You have a good spirit and I send blessings your way on this Valentine’s Day.
🤗 You are so sweet Rider…and this was the best gift that I could have gotten today! Nope, no flowers or anything, not my lifestyle to expect anything like that but that’s ok…Jesus Loves Me! 💟✝
Praying for Blessings to come your way sir…🙏

Good morning Leon
Do you remember the scene from Mars Attacks, where they are chasing the people saying, Don’t run, we’re your friends!
I wish we could go to DC and take them all out with some music.

Lovely selection Stevie 🙂
Ya know what I like about this music; it makes me feel like a time when they weren’t so hurried; and quiet was more normal.
Have a happy day Sister.
I could listen to that all day… and just may. (heart emoji)
Hi parichute…I know what you mean 😊! Sometimes I just put a certain song from YouTube on Loop and listen all day as it drifts through the house! Blessings to you sis…🙏
I heard about the Ufos. Them aliens aren’t gonna find me.
Yes my sphinx.
The aliens that built this?
Or aliens that use these….
More than likely.
No! I saw a documentary; they’re all living under the South Pole, deep under the ice! They fly their airships out of the tunnels and caves there. I betcha that’s who’s “Balloons” they been shootin’ down! I hope that doesn’t get us in a war with the Reptilians! And BIDEN the President!!!
😱🤣
As I recall, there is a spare Stargate down there.
Guess it is time to dig it out too, Brandon screwed up the one that was working from 1928 Giza, Egypt dig.
That is disturbing. And the ‘inverted’ is a nice touch. Note though, it is a product of the USA, and USDA approved for export.
Who wants boxes of these things? (Oscar Mayer?)
The cute little piggy that jay1776 showed above has one too, though it hasn’t been inverted yet.
So, what do you do for a living? “I invert pork …”.
Maybe they are ‘mechanically
separatedinverted’. (I suppose O. M. wouldn’t need to list them separately if it is included under ‘mechanically separated’.)The scariest thing is ….. Somebody is using them to serve to someone with two legs as it seems to be packaged that way (no warnings about not for human consumption.
I did look when someone posted the Meme @ my food service providers online catalog…. they do not sell them tho…. whew.
If they did it would have prompted a call to my food rep to inquire as to who they stocked them for in this area.
They do have some things listed that I find from time to time as ……. dodgy to say the least.
I have even bought a couple of them to check them out… for personal use mind you, didn’t buy those again.
Hot dogs would be on the top of my list tho, followed by SPAM, Treet, Vienna Sausage.
FYI, Mechanically separated meat was mostly banned quite a while back when the Mad Cow disease hit the UK, question is…. how are they doing it now…. chemically??? double yum.
boneless lean beef trimmings” (BLBT) is the process that replaced it… even it is I wont say banned but it is not used by fast food places (so they claim) or at least most grocers for, customer trust issues and such.
I’m also guessing that those inverted pork meat is still only required to be listed on the ingredient list on the package as
Ingredients: PORK, Textured vegetable protein, salt, natural spices.
real ingredients:
inverted pork, Soy ( gelatinized ) , MSG
Yummy
Good morning Joe. May sanity reign. I don’t believe in UFOs. I think this is all “look over here, don’t look over there!” garbage.
The balloonacy and UFO flap is a diversion. Something else is building up and “they” want us to be distracted from whatever it is that’s developing. Could be the economy crashing, World War 3, another plandemic, an environmental disaster like the one in E. Palestine, OH.
The universe is enormous and continues to expand. I don’t think we on Earth are the only forms of life in our universe. But this guy here is using common sense in explaining the recent events with balloon sightings and so-called UFOs.
Agreed Joe 12 Pack.
Anytime something “sensational” and “breaking news” happens (ad nauseam)… I’m always looking for the Wizard behind the curtain. He’s not the so “great and powerful Oz” anymore, is he?
Sick of these stooges. They don’t represent me, nor most of the public I am aware of.
And these looney tunes need to be retired to the nearest mental health institution where they may be treated according to their own crimes against humanity. Better yet, toss them out… let them go live under the flag of their choosing. One that isn’t so “stifling” as “Old Glory”.
Let them live with out the Constitutional Republic they so seek to destroy. We need to banish them.
Good morning JWoo.
Yep…as Snowden tweeted…it’s all to cover the scandal of blowing up the Nordstream pipe line…(I’d link the tweet but I don’t have a twitter account and also don’t know how…sigh…technology is passing me up)

“The CIA is not now nor has it ever been a central intelligence agency. It is the covert action arm of the President’s foreign policy advisers. In that capacity it overthrows or supports foreign governments while reporting ‘intelligence’ justifying those activities. It shapes its intelligence, even in such critical areas as Soviet nuclear weapon capability, to support presidential policy. Disinformation is a large part of its covert action responsibility, and the American people
are the primary target audience of its lies.”
-Ralph Mcgehee (former CIA officer)
Elon Musk

There are no coincidences

I would not advise anyone to trust that man; he is all in and heavy working on the Abomination of desolation – trans-humanism.
The misled and without discernment fellows at Babylon Bee thought they tricked Elon Musk into “accepting Jesus,” but they only are deceiving themselves, with their unscriptural ideas about how one gets saved. Repentance for the remission of sins must be preached in Jesus’ Name: there is no other way; regardless of how people don’t like it.
The light is not to be dimmed for the sake of those who hate what it exposes in them! Conviction and shame for sin, and fear of God, are how the Holy Spirit works to save us.
Which goes with the recent advisory for all Americans to leave Russia immediately? UFO’s (spirits of demons working signs) suddenly being announced; nuclear war (the world and all its inhabitants burned up, and the whole land made empty and waste – Isaiah 24) being announced; the mightiest countries in the world (USA, Western Europe, Russia), and the holy people (the saints of Jesus Christ) all being announced as the biggest enemies of the world, and about to be destroyed (Revelation 13:7; Daniel 8:24); all that is good and wholesome and of God is announced as Cancelled!
Does anyone else see the correlation of all these things with what happens with the fourth and final idolatrous kingdom, and the time of the heathen? And the fact that the world just continues to act like time will just go on indefinitely; completely asleep and unaware, even of the catastrophe that they are full go in making happen!
I wish it was aliens, too, Patience.
It is in many ways alienT.
Aliens do exist. And they are here. I have proof.
?ve=1&tl=1?ve=1&tl=1
That’s what I say they are, J – Illegal aliens.
But some call them “illegal immigrants.”
That couldn’t be right?

True,
but nobody hears you.
They actually use them for sausage in Europe after gang rapes.
Oh and did you see the latest abortion ruling? Servitude is now pregnancy. Unwilling servitude.
This is one of my favorite Jim Hall compositions. If you’ve ever left a bar after the last set . . . it’s 1 or 2 in the morning and the city is utterly quiet. You stand there feeling the urban quiet surround you . . . it’s a very special feeling. Jim Hall perfectly describes it in this song . . .
Good morning Garrison…
Sometime back you posted the videos of Kyle and Allie (Trout and Coffee) and I enjoyed them so much. Here is the newest video they just put up…
and did you know that Allie has her own YT channel now? Just as sweet as Kyle’s videos. I hope you enjoy them.
Happy Valentines Day Garrison 💘
I’ve followed both Kyle and Allie for quite awhile now. I’m most pleased that you’ve posted a couple of their videos. They’re an interesting couple, residing as they are in a beautiful rural landscape. Alas, I don’t think think I could, despite it’s beauty, be comfortable in a place that so embraces progressives politics. This doesn’t at all mean that I can’t enjoy their video adventures.
It’s just that finding myself in a place that thinks my AR pattern rifles should be made illegal . . makes me so glad I live in Texas where I’m free to go around armed. Don’t know what their politics are and, so long as they don’t promulgate them in their videos, I couldn’t care less. 🙂
“makes me so glad I live in Texas…”
Ah don’t you know it! 😉 Oklahoma has open carry with no license required! The southern states know how to treat their people!
Good morning Just Stevie. Happy Valentines Day. What a gift of love we receive when each shares special encouragements. Blessings
Good morning sis! The love we share is God’s love…the purest kind! You encourage me so much with your posts…🤗🙏…thanking God for you!!!

I’m dyslexic. I grew up in a time where schools and schooling didn’t really work for me. Instead, I learned to write—and write well—by studying the works of accomplished writers. I studied how they formed words, how the combined their words into sentences. Then I tried to emulate what they did. Slowly, slowly, I developed writing skills. One of the writers I closely studied was Willie Morris, the editor for many years of Harper’s Magazine. Along with many others, I tried to emulate him, form words like he did. A few years ago I came across this movie about his early life. My Dog Skip is a great film, one that I highly recommend. Here is the last scene . . .
The volume is a bit low on this . . . sorry.
You write and give wisdom beautifully Garrison. One would never know about your dyslexia and your acknowledgement of it helps those currently in the battle to know there’s the other side of it.
When kiddo was hurting in math, which she now seems to master, she simultaneously sat at the bedside of our dear friend catatonic and dying of neuroendocrine cancer. We made it within 2 hours of her death and read her Psalm 139 our family verse. The hospital let her inside which was unheard of and our girl was dying in ICU. I gently told her darling math teacher, whom I loved, that… with all due respect… math is important but it was interrupting the Kingdom work my daughter was doing… which promptly shut down the criticism. And we mourned most heavily fully focused on that which mattered most… the soul of our friend and souls of her beautiful family. Times like these remind us what matters… and it’s not math.
Fleeing as I try from melancholy…
I chuckle as I was side by side with the daughter yesterday playing one of those word game apps we both share on our phones. Both on the same level, competitiveness took over, and we were trying to pass one another on levels. Giggling… she leans over and grabs at my hand and turns my phone off. There was a time she couldn’t beat me on Scrabble, but last night she swiftly and thoughtfully passed me by. Then she would pause, check my progress, offer a word of help… because even in competitiveness.. she’s compassionate and wouldn’t leave her dear old aging mom behind. Sigh. What a fair daughter I have. Amen!
Screw thoughtless teachers and thoughtless people. As Travis Tritt would sing she’s “gonna be somebody someday.. you can bet your hard-earned dollar (she) will.”
Work was hard yesterday and I don’t see it lightening up for me. May affect adversely my presence on the Tree. Gotta settle my mind and buckle up. Not much joy in this existence so I’m thankful to have The Lord.
❣️❣️❣️❣️
Thank you for your kind words, JWoo. When we tell stories they can become lore. This is one of the best things about the Treehouse—this space—provides us with a perfect place to tell our stories, some of which go on to become lore. If you weren’t writing we wouldn’t know about you and your lovely daughter, for instance. So. Long may you wave, darlin’. When the songs are sung and the stories told, you will be remembered. 🙂
Stop making me cry, Garrison. Post puppies! Ha ha!!! Love ya, brother.
🙂
Enjoyed this, Garrison! Heard of Willie Morris but never read any of his writings.
So, just ordered three of his books (used). Hopefully, my young GS, who is a reader, will be interested after I read! 💕
I greatly admired him back in the day. Although now, I fear he’d probably be a never-Trumper. Sigh.
😅 🙁
Your method of learning was a resounding success, Garrison. You wrote very lyrically and with much feeling. It’s always a pleasure to read your posts, short or long.
Guess I’ll have to find that movie on one of the streaming services I have on the Roku. Thanks for the preview and background.
A great rest of the day to you, sir.
If you haven’t heard Chris Stapleton’s version of the national anthem, you really should.
This song is stuck in my head. “Save the Country” by Laura Nyro.
If a man love me, he will keep My words
John 14:22-26; 16:13 “Judas says to him, (not Iscariot), Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world? Jesus answered and said to him, If a man love me, he will keep My words: and My Father will love him, and We will come to him, and make Our dwelling with him. He that loves Me not keeps not My sayings: and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me. These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. But the Comforter (Paraclete; One called in to help), which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in My Name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said to you.’ . . ‘when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth . . ”
The apostle’s question was, How will You manifest yourself to us, and not to the world? So the Lord explains how: If a man loves Me, he will keep my words; Jesus does not reveal Himself to those who do not love Him. If someone doesn’t keep Jesus’ words, doesn’t hold them in his heart and do them out of them being in his heart; Jesus will not reveal Himself to that one. The world doesn’t keep Jesus’ sayings and commandments, and they have no idea Who He is!
“If a man love Me, he will keep My words, AND, My Father will love him, and We will come and make Our dwelling in that man.” Keeping Jesus’ words is how God comes in to dwell inside the Believer. It must stand to reason then, that God not indwelling and disobedience go together. When the Stronger One is inhabiting His house, then there is love and harmony, sure; but to answer Jude’s question, there is a vision and revelation of God, that is not given to others, who do not keep God in their house by obedience of love.
“He that loves Me not keeps not My sayings: and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.” Howsoever someone protests how much they love God, and are certain of their salvation; if they don’t do what Jesus says, they are not keeping His words. If they are not keeping His words, then they don’t love Him, and God is not revealing Himself to that one. If the person who has had their house all cleaned and decorated and furnished, but has not the Father and Son living there, then the former occupant is either on his way back, with spirit more wicked than himself; or he has already moved back in. This terrible danger cannot be overstated, for the backslider and neglecter of his duties.
For this reason, we must emphatically insist, that anyone who teaches or pretends to teach, anything contrary to the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, is a tool of the enemy, sent to cause you to stumble and fall, and then not fear God for doing it. Conviction of sin, and shame for having sinned, is not something we are supposed to protect the evil doer from. Conviction is for keeping us right with God, and securing our lives. Shame for having sinned is for the purpose of condemning the sinner. The only way to be released from the guilty state and condemnation, is through repentance and turning back to God. When God judges the repentance sincere, out of a good and honest heart, then He not only forgives, but He restores to grace. Sin puts us out of grace and under the law. God’s design is for us to establish the law by our way of life, loving Jesus and keeping His words.
So let us add it all up. We love Jesus because He first loved us. We prove our love by obedience and integrity. The Father completes the whole thing by Himself and Jesus and the Holy Spirit coming to live in us. As part of the Blessed Union of love, God reveals Himself to us, that we may know and understand Him, that those who don’t love Jesus or keep His words cannot possibly ever see, because God does not give it to them to see. The kingdom of God within us is all sufficient and all powerful to keep us, and to show us the deep things of God. But all hinges upon our loving Jesus, and the proof of that love, keeping His words.
When there is One called in to help us, Who actually is God’s Spirit; we have Almighty power and light and truth dwelling in us. Our part is to be disciples; that is, to learn and to live in the discipline of Christ. There will then be no forgetfulness, or letting slip, or deviating from the closely restricted way of holiness and purity. Faith works by love; which starts with love for our First Love, and doing always those things that please Him. The three stewards were all given the same amount of their lord’s money, and were equally instructed to do his business while he was away; and each one made his own success or failure to keep what their lord charged them with. One worked harder than all, his portion of money given him gained ten times. Another also worked hard, but only as far as five times. The last one came back empty handed because he did not love his lord, and completely disrespected and disobeyed him. Did that one still have a place in his lord’s house after that? Not only was he thrown out, but he was thrown out into the Gehenna.
The word Jesus says to us, He says as to friends; but it is not a one-sided effort in that friendship. When I was much younger; in my twenties; I shared an apartment with a brother who had just gotten out of the Navy. I was a terrible room-mate. I didn’t like to clean and do dishes, and I often had to be rebuked and corrected with great grief on the part of those who had to do the correcting. One day when I was come to the Wednesday night prayer meeting and Bible teaching, another brother gave me a postcard with a picture on it, of two Elephants; and the one was leaning heavily on the other, who was supporting them both. And underneath it said something about Carrying Your Own Weight. That is the point, isn’t it? If roommates, brothers in the Lord love each other, then they will carry their own weight to help out in keeping the apartment running. If we want such a union with the Lord, where the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit live in us, and give us more and more revelation knowledge, and fellowship with God; then we have to pull our weight, and our part of the friendship, by keeping and doing all that Jesus says.
Exodus 20:4-6 “You shall not make unto you any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: you shalt not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me; and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love Me, and keep My commandments.”
Love for the LORD keeps His commandments; hatred for the LORD bows down to idols and commits iniquity. We are saved from our sins, and made new creations, for the purpose of us henceforth doing good and right in the sight of the LORD.
There is no neutrality, and no indecision in God’s view. Jesus said, we are either for Him, or against Him. No one sits on the fence; especially not those to whom He has given the most knowledge. One brother said, The first thing the Holy Spirit does when He comes t a church, is to electrify the fence; to knock everybody off who wants to sit on it. That’s why churches don’t want the Holy Spirit coming in, because He will not tolerate indecision or idleness.
Many think they are good, because they don’t do any really bad things; but they aren’t doing all that Jesus says, and are trying to stay safe and neutral. But God sees that as unworthy of Christ, and as actually against Him.
If a man love Me, He will keep My words!

Good morning all.
Is there nothing that the magic molecule of CO2 can’t do?
UN Advisor Claims ‘climate change is triggering more earthquakes’ – ‘There is growing scientific evidence that climate change increases the risk of such tremors, together with tsunamis and volcanic eruptions’ | Watts Up With That?
It was difficult to post that without using vulgar expletives BTW.
It does get so tiresome seeing these ambulance chasers getting press like their claims have any real scientific value. And even more frustrating is seeing that real scientists are mum and don’t call out this kind of Bovin excrement for what it is.
Not long ago you, or at least I think it was you, made a funny comment about liberals attempting to blame asteroids on climate change.
It’s not exactly a stretch of the imagination to see them doing that!
And of course, media would back them up.
Happy Valentine 💌 Day Sundance, tree 🌳 house ♥️
My Valentine…
This morning I have a 3 stop milk run in Ohio. Getting into the dock at the first stop in Van Wert, is a real greenhorn buster.
Depart at 06:00. Got up early and called in to see if my truck was fixed yet because if it was I would need to go in early to transfer back into it. But they haven’t touched it yet. So I stay in the loaner.
The biopsy on my daughters liver is to be done today. Results should be back tomorrow sometime unless it has to be sent to a lab in NY for some reason for the final report.
I hope all goes well for your daughter!
Be safe out there.
Good morning Greg
Mornin’ JWoo!
Good morning, Rah. My prayers go with you and Sherry for your travels and for your daughter’s health.
Stay safe, rah❣️
✝️ and fingers crossed for your baby girl.
Prayers for all of you!
Prayers for your daughter, rah.
Mornin’ all!
No logic necessary for odd reasons to have a holiday.
Hallmark conspiracy.
Good Morning!.
Good morning, Wee and Monti.
Odd…. no…. I only find it odd that they all seem to be celebrated on a Monday for some reason.
Very powerful; I didn’t know that! Like everything else totally pagan and Antichrist: like Jesus rebuked the Pharisees and scribes for, for making beautiful monuments out of the tombs of the prophets, as a celebration of their ancestors’ killing them! The ungodly memorials and holidays they make to the righteous whom they persecuted and killed for their testimony of Jesus; now they make it something to celebrate.
We truly honor the saints of Jesus by following their example of love and faith and total consecration to Jesus’ service.
Doesn’t it also say in Revelation 11, that the world will celebrate and send presents to each other when the beast kills Enoch and Elijah?
B Buh But…

Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ.
AMEN.

Verse of the Day for Tuesday, February 14, 2023

“…Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.”
Ecclesiastes 12:13 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered!!!
Saying a prayer for Phoenix this morning. Wondering if she’s in that Ohio railroad mess? I think she’s west of that, I thought near Dayton? Haven’t seen her lately and missing her beautiful photos. I notice when a Tree pal is missing. Blessings to our Phoenix.
Miss her, too, JWoo, and saw her photo post yesterday (2/13) on Pres. Thread.
She commented that the chemical issue had not affected her area- as yet.
Blessings on you today.
Oh so good, Della. Thank you for letting me know. Jump on here intermittently and thus miss postings randomly. Glad to hear she’s good. (I would miss you, too, if I didn’t see you here.) I look out for our Mary as well. She’s got me watching the Cupid’s Kitchen cooking drama show. The young girl makes me a little irritated because she’s so whiny and I don’t tolerate whiny ladies, but the cinematography is good and I enjoy the “master Chef” training her. I like no nonsense men like him. And if he cooks, too… A PLUS. (swoon) LOL
Praying blessings over you, Della, dear.
😂 😂
There’s little sign in my kitchen: “No Whining”
(triggers me)
A man that cooks? Definitely a Plus!💕
Ha ha!!! I like your sign, Della. The little gal in Mary’s “Cupid’s Kitchen” show drives me a little insane. I am looking forward to her maturing and growing up in the series. I like to cook, so the styling of the show is fun, though… escapism entertainment.
We were at Tractor Supply and my kid saw a sign that pays homage to the show “Yellowstone”. Now BEFORE I GET HATE MAIL… I do NOT let my daughter watch all of Yellowstone. She’s only seen the g-rated episodes (of which… there aren’t many). And she’s seen the naughty bit of Beth getting after to the shopkeeper for accusing her sister in law (who’s native American) of shoplifting.
Daughter understands… we all need a “Beth” in our corner. So, she knows who Beth is and what Beth is about. I am her “Beth”. Add on top of it being a God-loving Christian woman… sometimes the clash of the two titans within myself can get a little hairy.
The sign in Tractor Supply alluded to something like: “Little bit of sweet, whole lotta Beth Dutton” or something or such. She’s like “MOM! You have to get that! That is so YOU!!!”
I don’t whine and I don’t cry when it rains. My breakdowns last about 20 seconds, ’cause frankly… it’s all I can afford for a private pity party. Ain’t no point in staying down. No good comes of it. I drag myself up and get back to work. At least work produces something of integrity and value.
You’re so encouraging, JWoo!
You have your head on straight! And this will guide your daughter, too.
Win-win!
Self-pity is of the devil – he wants us miserable and discontented.
Besides, at my house, nobody wants to come to my pity-party😅
(I got it, JWoo – finally… TY). 🤔👀🤔
? not sure I understand… maybe I typed something unclear?
Can you decode?
D.F.T.T
yes… hope I’m not the “T”. LOL Ugh.
😂😂
No worries…
I’m little late figuring these things out.
But you get there!! Some never ever will. Roflol
I admit I don’t get it.
But in my classroom is a crossstitch (stamped, alas) that says Thou shalt not whine. I point it out regularly.
😂 😂
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.

MILaw is getting “scoped” at 6:30 am to see if she is qualified for another heart valve replacement or repair. ❤️🙏❤️
I know you’re praying…no need to respond.
Massive thanks.
Am praying and good morning to you, Frank. Lifting her and her surgeon for great wisdom and care. Blessings upon your family for peace and surefootedness.
In 1997 Ron Wyatt is in Jerusalem, in Zedekiah’s Cave explaining to a group of Christians, how God showed him where Noah’s ark was, and the Red Sea crossing site, and discovering where the ark of the covenant is. Well worth watching, and very good listening to this very good hearted and true brother.

Gave the coffee pot a rest this morning. Soothing my soul and nourishing my body with Emergen-C Orange Tumeric, with a teaspoon of dissolved (in cold water so as not to get lumpy) unflavored gelatin, and a splash of honey, served hot. Ahhh tumeric. Ahhh gelatin. A gentle treat for aching joints.
Bourbon is a good wake-up call too…………
LOL! 😉
Hope you feel better soon!
After yesterday’s press conference from the General in charge of air defense over North America I can only conclude their response to a potential visitor from another planet will be to shoot them down.
This should be the first question asked for clarification if anyone in the press actually has the backbone.
They openly admitted they didn’t know what it was they shot down and that it could possibly have been extraterrestrial.
It could be that they are crafting their narrative that the only way we can survive this extraterrestrial threat is to unite under their One World Government. Yet another fear-fueled psychological operation.
Then again, it could be demonic visitors from another dimension that will perform signs and wonders to deceive people in the last days. This could explain how they tend to defy the laws of physics and disappear so quickly.
Credible people have reported these UFO phenomena: pilots, astronauts, police, etc., for a long time. I never thought they were from distant planets, but were advanced technology from the earth.
I appreciate that the Lord tells us how it will be in the last days. Wisely, He never gives us names or dates, but He does accurately summarize things, and so many times He says, “Do not be deceived!” This means the deception will be strong.
We need to seek fellowship with others and keep short accounts with Him so that our intuition will function. We need discernment as we are living in these times of pervasive deception.
This blogger who is an Army intelligence officer that goes by Florida Maquis ( not misspelled ) has been reporting for quite some time about all the activities taking place at Antarctica.
His theory is that under the ice there’s an ancient civilization who are technologically advanced, and until our governments started digging in the ice they wanted nothing to do with us.
You need to sift through his posts because not all are about Antarctica.
That’s ex-army intelligence I meant to post.
Not all posts are about crazy theories only some posts?
How do you know he’s ex-intel?
He says he is.
His identity is available in his early posts
I didn’t research that and took him at his word so I don’t know for certain.
I didn’t say I believed everything he posts, just that it’s his theory.
He could very well be a government psy-op website too.
There’s a lot of verifiable activity on Antarctica , why is now my question
Yes, all countries are trying to claim parts of Antarctica for minerals and whatever.
I’ll try to take a look at his early posts sometime.
Thanks
Amen, Appeal. We must keep short accounts with Him indeed and carefully watch what fills our minds. Thank the Good Lord for wise discernment and the ability to say NO to nonsense. The peace that surpasses all understanding. We are clearly watching “the show”. We are in the world, but not of the world.
Amen!
Probably just Amazon delivering a package with one of its drones. /s
Sorry, couldn’t resist. I’m cynical today and unhumored and growing ever increasingly annoyed by the clown show.
These people take too many tax dollars as salaries and for ridiculous pet programs to be so utterly stupid.
How do you know things?
What is real and what is not?
What is real (fact/verifiable) on the internet?
You guess about contacts based on how they conduct themselves?
Thoughts?
Hi Monti…good questions!
It’s trial and error. Some of the worst sites are prepper sites. 🙄 I heard their “to world is going to end tomorrow” for so long it’s like, get over it! That’s not to say prepping is bad. I have a few trusted sites that educate me to deal with “if’s” and “when’s” but it took time to sort them out.
Hope this helps 😊
Good answer juststevie… still listening to the piano concerto, for the 3rd time. It seems to take the edge off today’s world news and ‘grumpers’.
LOL, me too sis! Been listening all day! I forgot how moving his Concerto is! If I remember right, Chopin didn’t like to write music that included additional orchestra. The Concerto was an exception. I especially love the part towards the end (around 8:30) where it just seems to broaden out and encompasses all emotion! 🤗💝
Hi Stevie and thanks. I was hoping for a bit more discussion on the topic but there doesn’t seem to be that much interest today.
Of course its a busy day news wise.
Matthew 7:16 – By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
A saying at my house: believe nothing, check everything… 🤣
I understand what you mean, though. It is difficult.
Many times – but not all – truth will rise to the top… Have to wait for it.

I just noticed that Sam’s club in Snellville, Ga. is out of chicken thighs, breasts, drumsticks, and their famous rotisserie Chicken. A check on other local locations shows none for 150 miles.
There are some boneless, skinless thighs for $3.48 and Breasts for $2.68. I am glad I have a freezer.
I’m glad I bought and filled a 7 cu ft deep freezer in the garage for the 2 of us… when Sundance told us to. No telling how much pain Sundance has saved us all from. His chivalry is incalculable.
Sundance,
Dunno if you’ve seen this:
https://thefederalist.com/2023/02/13/democrats-unconstitutional-crusade-to-disbar-texas-ag-ken-paxton-shows-how-far-theyll-go-to-win-elections/
Specifically, the TX state bar is attempting to disbar AG Ken Paxton. More generally, Dem controlled state bars are attempting to disbar ANY attorney who files election disputes to make it difficult for GOP victims of election fraud to obtain representation.
God bless you and God bless America!!
Interesting.
So they will disbar any attorney who disagrees with them, and they will strip licensure from any healthcare professional who disagrees with them.
They will steal bank accounts of those who disagree with them, and unconstitutionally imprison those who disagree with them.
MILaw was scoped through the esophagus. Regular size was too large. They then tried a pediatric size to see if the mitral valve can be replaced/repaired…inconclusive.
Now they’re going through a procedure to stretch her esophagus so she can be successfully scoped.
Thank you again for your prayer…no need to post about it. ❤️
Treepers, all I can say is this…
It has been a lively day in the Treehouse!
And then Feinstein…confused her messaging….
Dear God, I pray for safety and recovery for the Ohio Disaster and let your children reecover with as little stress, illnesses and other negatives, as possible. Dear God, please let me never forget the blessings that have been bestowed upon me, Amen!
Amen.
Amen.

Amen!
