In The Time Of A Storm! Conclusion by Myra Boozer

(for part 1 see 3/1/26)

Going through a storm is never comfortable or something we welcome, but it has its rewards. Yes, you will come out stronger than when you went into the horrible situation. You will know how to pray more than you've ever prayed. You will understand God’s ways are not our ways, but they are for our good. You will have more peace than before because you understand that contentment doesn't come from good circumstances or possessions but from having a pure relationship with the Lord. You will realize that you’re no longer burdened with having to figure out all the details of your life. He does that for you. You learn that joy does not come from feeling happy about situations, but from knowing that all is well with your soul.

The small wonders of His great creation will make you smile and rejoice in knowing he made everything with a purpose, a plan that includes you. You will learn how amazing God really is! He can take nothing and make something. Remember, He SPOKE this whole universe into existence. He makes the sun shine, and the world rotate on its axis. He is ever mindful of YOU, one of His greatest creations. “TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL THINE HEART; AND LEAN NOT UNTO THINE OWN UNDERSTANDING. IN ALL THY WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM, AND HE SHALL DIRECT THY PATHS,” Proverbs 3:6-7. A promise to never forget, especially In The Time Of A Storm! 

The Lord Is My Rock, My Fortress, My Deliverer!

Psalm 18:2, “The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.”

Jesus Christ prepares the table before us in the presence of the enemy. We shall eat and drink from His table and prevail before our enemy. Jesus is our strength and our victory. He leads us beside the still waters and restores our souls. He is our source, our strength, our redeemer, and in Him we can trust today and every day as Christ Jesus, our Lord. Thank you, God, for the assurance that only you can give!

The Lord is our Salvation! He established His position in Gethsemane. He came to die, but all flesh is appointed to death. But in Gethsemane, Jesus submitted to death. He chose to die as the Son of man to prove that He is the Son of God. The fleshly man would die, but the Spirit man would live on.

That is what happens when we meet Jesus at the cross. We submit to death. We choose death to the fleshly man so the Spirit man can live on. But we must go through our Gethsemane to get there. We must come to the end of ourselves and allow Christ to take charge of our lives. We are literally consenting to the death of the flesh so that we can experience life in the Spirit through Christ. 

Gal. 2:20, “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” Jesus is, “...my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.” The Lord Is Our Salvation! 

In The Time Of A Storm! by Myra Boozer

Are you in the midst of a trial and feel you are headed directly into a life-threatening storm? Do you feel that your world is about to fall apart and you have no idea where you're going to land? Has your foundation been shaken by the enemy, and your life seems to be twirling in the air, headed to the land of sorrow?

Many people are in circumstances that make them feel helpless and hopeless. They don't know who to trust, who to call, or who they can depend on to lend a helping hand. They are struggling with so much fear and anxiety about what their future may hold.

Sometimes things happen overnight, and we feel stunned by the inevitable changes on their way. Things are changing all over the world with governments, health care, employment, sickness, marriages, and a great moral decline, making people fear for the lives of their families. But, we must remember God never Changes!

Sometimes people lose everything they own and have to start over from the beginning. God has promised He would make a way for us. He has invited us to call on Him and to trust in His ability to take care of us. He has told us He would never leave us or forsake us, no matter how fierce our storm may become.

We must stand on His Word...His Promises...His Truth. His Wisdom is from everlasting to everlasting. He is not a man that He should lie. What He promises, He will perform. (continued) 

Thy Will Be Done In Earth As In Heaven!

(for part 1 see 2/28/26)

Matt. 28:18, “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”

Christ has given the ministry of bringing in the Harvest to the Church. The Holy Spirit within us will equip and empower us to rise to the challenge in the midst of darkness and evil. The light shines brighter the greater the darkness. We have already entered into an extended time of sensual depravity and spiritual hypocrisy. The Body of Christ has an enormous task to reach the lost in the face of great opposition. The affront to the Gospel is growing stronger every day. The mere mention of the name of Jesus will ensure persecution. But God is greater! “Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world...” 1 John 4:4. 

God will use the Church to do great things in the name of Jesus. That is why Satan fights so hard against the message of Jesus. There is power in that name (Jesus)! Christ will reveal His power, His grace, and His glory through us as we submit to His leadership. “He will use the trying times ahead to discipline and train us. Do not resist. Do not question the Lord's WAY. Yield to Him and allow Him to do His work in you even during all this shaking as the Bride makes herself ready.” God has a plan. He will protect His Church and preserve His people. Blessed be the name of the Lord! Thy Will Be Done In Earth As In Heaven! 

Thy Kingdom Come! by Myra Boozer

Mark 1:15 “...The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.”

I would love to feed all the hungry...wrap my arms around the broken and mend them. I would love to wipe the tears from all the lonely and crushed...mend the bruised and battered, release those who are in bondage by the enemy...set the captives free...hold all the unwanted babies...care for all the elderly who are forsaken...heal every sickness and diseased person on the face of the earth...stop every evil and depraved thought that enters the mind of the youth...I would guard them from all evil. I would mend every marriage and bring every family into unity with God... strengthen every person who shares the Word of God and give them HOPE of many souls being saved, delivered, and set free. I would love to do all this! I am limited, but JESUS is NOT! I can share JESUS, and He can do this for all who will REPENT and BELIEVE!

I WOULD SHUT THE MOUTH OF THE LIONS THAT ARE TRYING TO DEVOUR ALL WHO ARE GOOD AND RIGHTEOUS...I WOULD STOP ALL THE LIES AND CORRUPTION OF THE EVIL AND EGOTISTIC WHO ARE HUNGRY FOR STATUS IN THIS WORLD...I WOULD BIND EVERY EVIL SPIRIT THAT RAISES ITS UGLY HEAD AGAINST HUMANITY...I WOULD SHUT DOWN ALL THE PLACES THAT OFFER ENTICEMENT TO THOSE WHO ARE WEAK AND UNSTABLE...I WOULD STOP MURDER, HATE, AND EVERY ABOMINATION...I WOULD STOP ALL FALSE TEACHINGS AND DOCTRINES OF DEVILS...I WOULD BRING ABOUT A NEW WORLD WHERE THE LAMB WILL LAY DOWN WITH THE LION...I AM LIMITED! BUT, JESUS IS NOT! JESUS WILL DO ALL THIS WHEN HE COMES RIDING ON HIS WHITE HORSE WITH FIRE IN HIS EYES, WEARING MANY CROWNS...HIS NAME IS CALLED THE WORD OF GOD...HE SHALL RULE WITH A ROD OF IRON. HE WILL PUT EVERYTHING IN ITS PROPER PLACE...We are getting closer and closer to that DAY! Lord Jesus, Thy Kingdom Come!

Thy Will Be Done In Earth As In Heaven!

Matthew 6:10-13, “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven...thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever...”

The followers of Jesus expected Him to set up a literal ruling government, after which He would rule from the throne of David in Jerusalem. As we know, that has not happened yet! Christ pointed to a yet future time when that will actually take place, and His will is accomplished in earth as it is in heaven.

Paul wrote to the Church at Corinth, reminding them that “...the fashion of this world passeth away,” 1 Cor. 7:31. He was speaking concerning temporal attachments and being held captive by them. Though they are good in themselves, we are not to be constrained by them. We need to be free from any and all encumbrances that would restrain us from hearing and being obedient to the voice of Christ. Let us always follow the Lord Jesus closely, not to be guilty of following afar off. Our conformity to Him will be our sustaining power when all else has failed. The outward form of this world and everything in it will pass away.

Heb. 12:26, “...Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. 27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.” The words “Yet once more” point to the final change, which will initiate the removal of all that can pass away. The removal of created things that the things not shaken can remain...that is the Kingdom in us, not anything of material creation. It is to that end that Christ is preparing His Covenanted people for His return and when He will literally establish His Kingdom in the earth. Thy Will Be Done In Earth As In Heaven! (continued) 

Lord, Come And Sit Among Us! by Myra Boozer

Lord, would You please come and sit among us?

We long for more of You and Your Righteousness.

Rain down upon us Your loving kindness,

For we stand today at your mercy.

We need Your message of Truth and Grace.

Bring to us Your revelation of the New Day Dawning,

The Day of Your soon appearing, when You step out on the clouds to call us Home.

Open our eyes to a greater understanding of what it actually means to be Your People, a Chosen People, and a Royal Priesthood.

May we be ready when You descend from heaven with a shout, and with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God, calling us to come up to where You are.

Lord, our hearts are open to Your Spirit, and we long to be in Your presence. Please come and sit among us, refresh us, revive us, renew us, and restore us to our first love. You are coming for Your Bride, the one You Love and the one who loves YOU...Come And Sit Among Us! 

I Have Set Before You An Open Door!

Revelation 3:8, “I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. 9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. 10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. 11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.”

God has set the stage for His final events. Are we willing to sacrifice our time and energy to bring a Spiritual Awakening and a breaking forth of the Light of God? Are we willing to commit ourselves to the work of Christ so that we can have Restoration in our local churches and in our families?

Satan is angry because the Children of God would dare to rise up against him. He is releasing the powers of darkness in every public and private venue. But, Satan, the Blood of Jesus is against you! 1 John 4:1, “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.”

The Body of Christ must rise up in the power and authority of Jesus Christ and proclaim victory in Jesus Name. Jesus said, “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;” Isaiah 61:1. He gave the same power to the Church in Matthew 28:18, “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”

We are challenged to receive the power of the Lord Jesus Christ in the person of the Holy Spirit and to GO and bind up the brokenhearted, bring liberty to the captives, open the prisons to them that are bound. “Behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it...” Go and go in the power of Jesus Name! Amen! 

Come Up Higher! by Myra Boozer

Lord Jesus, push back the darkness that is coming against every child of God. Lord, please help us to delight in your Light and your never-ending Love. Set our feet on a clear path and give our minds and hearts a deep understanding of who you are, our creator and the Father of all mankind! You love like no other. You are our constant friend who will stand by us when the whole world is sound asleep. You are never far but always near. You come, and call us to come up higher, high above the sad and the gloom that tries to hide your love from us.

You call for us all to open our eyes and see all your beauty. You call us to know you by name and recognize your loving voice. You call us to hold your hand, and know that you are our Protector. You pick us up and carry us when we can no longer walk on our own. You are the one who rescues us when the winds of evil blow across our path. You wipe our tears and wash our faces. You reassure us of who we are, and who YOU are, Our Loving Father. You will never leave us and never forsake us as You invite us to Come Up Higher! 

Lord, What Would You Have Us Do?

 Acts 9:6, “And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.”

Saul was on his way to Damascus with documents to imprison followers of Jesus Christ. This text recounts Saul’s response to his Divine Encounter with Jesus on the road that day. Saul had his own objective, but God had a different path planned for him. It took a Divine Revelation to change him and the direction he was going. Confronted with the Presence of Jesus Christ, his response was, “Lord, what would you have me do?” We would do well to seek God for the same attitude of submission that we could proclaim, “Lord Jesus, what would you have me do?

God, help us to yearn for Your Divine Presence and the Revelation of Your Truth! Lord Jesus, open our hearts, our minds, and our souls to hear Your voice today! We need a revelation of Your plan. We are not seeking an understanding by this mortal flesh. We are seeking Divine revelation of the Word of God. The same revelation that the Old Testament prophets experienced as they walked in obedience and depended upon the impartation of Your instruction and anointing to bring the relevant Word from God to the people of God. The same revelation that the New Testament apostles experienced as You called them out and set them apart to be Your voice for Your message to a world in crisis, lost, and without hope except for Jesus' sacrifice.

Holy Spirit, take charge of this mortal flesh! Lead us along the correct path to receiving God's revelation and understanding of His Word relevant to where we are today. We are not seeking insight built upon human understanding because that is empty and fruitless. The revelation of Your truth surpasses all human understanding and is far above this world's knowledge. The hope of our hearts and our souls' desire is to receive and impart Your truth. Your truth delivers the sin-sick soul, frees the shackled, and heals the wounded heart. Lord, revive Your Word afresh in our souls and lead us to those in need! Lead us Lord, and we will follow wherever You open up the door! Lord, What Would YOU Have Us Do?

Remember! by Myra Boozer

You are stronger than you think,

Remember to stand tall.

Every challenge in your life helps you to grow.

Every problem you encounter

strengthens your mind and your soul.

Every trouble you overcome

increases your understanding of life.

When all your troubles

weigh heavily on your shoulders,

remember that beneath the burden you can stand tall,

because you are never given more

than you can handle...

And you are stronger than you think.

~ Lisa Wroble ~

Every challenge that I encounter will make me stronger if I remember where my strength comes from and put my trust in Him. Yes, my strength comes from the Lord!

I must not forget that I never walk alone, for He knows the way I should take and He will direct my path in all my adventures. It is when I reach out to Him, when I place my hand in His, that I really feel safe and secure. He is my Father, and He always has my best interest at heart!

"Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me bless his holy name." Psalm 103:1 

Restoration In The Name Of Jesus!

2 Chronicles 7:14, “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

Although these passages refer to God’s relationship with Israel, the Word defines a universal principle and a characteristic of our Heavenly Father. God is God of restoration. It is His nature to put lives back together. When we come to Him on His terms and meet His conditions, He will bring restoration in our lives.

God’s promise to Israel was to restore what they had lost or what had been taken from them. God is no respecter of persons, and that promise is relevant to any believer in any generation. Satan does not want you to embrace that Promise. But through the blood of Jesus Christ, you are brought into the family of God. You are a Child of God as a Believer. As a blood-bought Child of God, we can declare in the power and authority of the Name of Jesus that the enemy release what he has stolen from us. If we believe, the key will turn in the lock, the lock will fall free, and the doors will swing open wide at the command of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Believe the Promise God has given you. By faith declare that the enemy loose what is yours and set you free. He has no other option but to comply.

God will restore what Satan has stolen from you! Take back your life and be restored in the Power of Jesus Christ! We pray it in Jesus’ Name! Amen! 

Redeemed By The Blood Of Jesus! by Myra Boozer

The days are evil, and the storms of life are raging...The enemy has come in like a flood, ripping through our land, trying to wash away every grain of truth and justice that has prevailed in our country since the beginning of her existence. Turmoil has found a landing on the steps of every home and the heart of every man, woman, and child. The winds of this world whisper, “You are alone, and no one is interested in your sorrow...just forget about finding refuge in the soul of another human being...Trust only in your might and none other...no one cares or is able to lift you above the muddy waters of this terrible, swift, and raging current.”

But wait, I hear the chirping of the sparrow and see the Eagle on the highest bough...and listen to the breeze as it sings the sweetest song...Redeemed, You are redeemed...you have been purchased, bought with a price...counted worthy to be forgiven and you are FREE...This is no time to be discouraged...God is allowing us to build strong faith in HIM and not our circumstances. No mortal relationship can save us! We are Redeemed by the Blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ! 

God's Gift Of Redemptive Grace!

The Truth of God’s redemptive grace is exercised in the gift and sacrifice of His Son, Jesus, our Messiah. Why would God make such a sympathetic offering? The answer lies in the text of John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.” All who desire the Truth will navigate toward the Light of God, make the necessary adjustments in the strength of Jesus Christ, and walk in His Truth.

We are born into this life carrying this enormous burden called “sin.” The entire human race was plunged into sin by the disobedience of our mother and father, Adam and Eve. They fell for the Serpent’s temptation and ate of the forbidden fruit. God placed a curse upon the earth because of their disobedience.

God has included all under sin that He might offer a remedy. Galatians 3:22, “But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe...26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.”

Jesus Christ is God’s Gift Of Redemptive Grace to this lost and dying world. The Truth of His redemptive grace reaches into the darkest crevices of life to illuminate the path of lost mankind. Look to Jesus, our Messiah, today and be loosed from the penetrating, consuming darkness enveloping our world. Jesus will deliver you and empower you to walk in the freedom that only He can give! 

Go Light Your World! by Myra Boozer

Dear Lord, I ask that your LIGHT shine in the darkness today. Many are struggling and can't find their way. They seem to have no one to point them to you. They are so alone and lost without your guiding light.

Lord, I will be a candle if you will trim my wick and set my soul on fire. My heart is willing, and my compassion is growing stronger for a people who are covered in such deep, deep darkness. I know one candle isn't much for the multitudes. But my heart cries out to help! If it is for just one person, that person is so WORTH SAVING!

May I share your LIGHT in this dark and lonely world of struggling, helpless souls. You Lord, can make their path clear when they see your ever Guiding Light...even if it is from one small candle…

From one who's so glad I found YOUR LIGHT… 

Push Back Against The Darkness! Conclusion

Spiritual darkness has come upon this world like a spiritual tsunami! Our struggles in the spirit realm have spilled over into our physical world and invariably affect our way of life. It is a serious matter to exclude God from our daily lives. That is what has transpired in many nations, including the United States. God has been legislated out of our schools, governments, and public arenas. It is there that truth and justice should be promoted and encouraged. We have allowed our leaders to prohibit the mention of God in our public places and then wonder why our world is in such a mess. We have excluded God, and He has left us to our own devices and the consequences of governing in the flesh.

Satan has silently done his work. We did not recognize the evil he intended, and unwittingly became partakers of his evil scheme. But we cannot go silently into the night. Even at this late hour, we must draw attention to the evil and avarice in this world! We must take a stand for truth and righteousness! We must actively and purposefully push back against the darkness.

Matt. 5:14, “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”

What has happened to the light? Where are God’s Champions for Truth and Righteousness? Jude 1:3, “Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” Instead of being separated from the world to be a light to the world, the world has been assimilated into the churches. When we rely more on the planning and production models we observe in the world than on the revelation and anointing of the Holy Spirit, how can we expect people to be enlightened and changed? Can we really expect lives to be convicted of sin and changed in repentance and regeneration without the leading and anointing of the Holy Spirit?

Why do we fall back on the arm of the flesh? Because it is the easier route. With the abundance of resources, anyone can develop their own program or plan. However, for the revelation and the anointing of the Holy Spirit, we must go to God’s Word and take time to be alone with God and His Word. We must bury our faces into the carpet on the floor and cry out to God with everything that is within us, fervently seeking God to send His fire among us to address the needs of a lost and dying world. God alone has the solution. Jesus Christ is the answer! Push Back Against The Darkness! 

What God Has Ordained, He Will Establish! by Myra Boozer

Isaiah 46:9, “Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, 10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: 11 Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.”

I love walls and gates. I love boundaries of protection with gates that open to new revelation or new experiences. In 2013 and before, we were praying, "Open the doors you want open, Lord, and close those you want closed." We have learned His Ways are so much better than ours, and to Trust Him brings great Joy!

Now, today, we are giving so much Praise and Honor to our Lord who opened the way for us to minister to the Whole World. We are so humbled and feel like David...whom God pulled from the fields all dirty and sweaty from tending to his Father's sheep...unworthy, unknown by many and just hidden away from all the crowds...but yet remembering what God had spoken to us on many occasions and He has made our calling and election very sure (confident, positive, absolute, certain without doubt, determine, ESTABLISH).

We knew that in His time God would reveal to us His Will for these Last Days. I was reminded by a friend as she told me that God spoke these words to her, "What God ordains He will establish." Those whom God calls, He ordains, and He consecrates with His anointing. It is not for us to question but to yield to His timing. For He will establish (to work or settle in a permanent place), build up, set up, install, to prove, verify, and confirm.

David's own family had no real confidence in him. When he went to the battlefield to serve them food, they knew him as their little brother doing the work that maybe they didn't want to do. He wasn't a popular person, but he was a person who loved God and had seen firsthand how God had protected him against the bear and the lion. David had a song in his heart that God loved to hear, and God chose him to be anointed as the King of Israel.

To be a “nobody” is not a bad thing when God knows you by name and knows exactly where you are. He also knows He can depend on you to listen to His voice, be obedient, and follow His commands when the Gate opens. At that point, he will lead you into new and deeper revelations of Himself that you can be the witness that He has ordained you to be. Whatever the task, great or small, it is such an honor to be chosen and used by God to minister to others. What God Has Ordained He Will Establish! 

Push Back Against The Darkness!

Today, I am reminded of previous generations and the price they were willing to pay to see God moving in tremendous ways among them. They were hungry for the holiness and power of God in their midst! I have heard my father’s generation speak of the old brush arbors where the faithful would gather in these makeshift places of worship created by the limbs of trees and the brush of the forest. They gathered in these crude “shelters” and knelt upon the bare earth or sawdust, seeking the favor of the Lord Jesus Christ because they wanted His intervention in their lives.

As a young boy, I remember attending tent revivals in the sweltering heat of a summer night and seeing the saints of God dance before Him in Holy worship and adoration. They didn’t appear to mind that the weather was hot and the sawdust on the floor was dry and dusty. They reached out to the Creator of all things, and He connected with them in a supernatural way that changed their lives forever.

I remember the old country church house we attended in that same time period. There was no such thing as air conditioning. The closest we got to that was the raised windows, and if you were blessed, you might find one of the old paper fans that the local Funeral Home passed out as an advertisement for their services. But none of that seemed to matter because the Church had a higher calling than being comfortable. The saints were set on connecting with God and seeing His intervention in their lives. You prayed wherever and however you needed to make that connection.

What the Church needs and what we must have is a face-to-face confrontation with our Holy God. The Old Testament Prophets and the New Testament Disciples had those encounters. We are no less desperate to have the manifestation of God’s abiding presence than they were! But God requires an investment. That investment is us, all of us, every fiber in our very being. Nothing can be held back because we know that God requires all if we are to have His approval and intervention.

Spiritual darkness has come upon this world like a spiritual tsunami! We must actively and purposefully push back against that darkness. We must bombard heaven in intercessory prayer and push back against the powers of darkness in the power of the Holy Ghost. “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.” Let His Beacon of Light shine brightly through your vessel! Push Back Against The Darkness! (continued) 

Are You Drifting? by Myra Boozer

Have you noticed how we drift into different ways of living? For example, some people just take life so slow and easy and don't really want to go anywhere, happy where they are. While others are always in the fast lane with places to go and people to see. They are so busy having fun and accommodating their latest find of food or entertainment, they almost live in a whirlwind.

D. A. Carson said, "People DO NOT DRIFT toward holiness...Apart from grace-driven effort, people DO NOT gravitate toward godliness, prayer, obedience to Scripture, faith, and delight in the Lord...We drift toward compromise and call it tolerance: We drift toward disobedience and call it freedom: We drift toward superstition and call it Faith. We cherish the indiscipline of lost self-control and call it relaxation. We slouch toward prayerlessness and delude ourselves into thinking we have escaped legalism. We slide toward godlessness and convince ourselves we have been liberated..."

Age makes a difference in our pursuit of life and what it offers, but I believe we have drifted so far that many don't know how to find God. Start where you are and surrender ALL to Him. Then, we must pursue HIM until He catches us, captivates and changes us into His image... no longer trapped by the worldly attractions and sounds...no longer drifting on the sea of time... But looking unto our Blessed Hope, who is coming to rescue us from this world and its alluring, deceptive ways. Are You Drifting?

(A ship that loses its propulsion capability flounders helplessly and is at the mercy of the winds and waves. Without the spiritual dynamic of Holy Ghost power, we will flounder helplessly at the mercy of the winds and waves of life.) 

Sustained Through Your Revelation On Jesus Christ! Part 4 Conclusion

(for part 3 see 2/20/26 )

Acts 27:33, “...Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing. 34Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you...36Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat. 37And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls. 38And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.” The fast was concluded. They could take comfort in the fact that all would be saved, and they were all (276) of good cheer. They continued in Faith and Obedience, throwing everything overboard to lighten the ship. They had done what they knew to do. Now was the time to allow the God Factor to bring an end to their storm. They took up the anchors and committed to the sea. Completely free of all encumbrances, completely sustained by the wind of God.

Acts 27:41, “And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves...43 the centurion...commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land: 44And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.” God's process will run its course, and in the end, His purpose is secured. How many times in our own lives have we survived on the broken pieces of our ship? The storms have been strong and the struggle bitter, but we have stayed with God, and our end is secured!

The sustaining factor in Paul's life was his relationship with Christ and the fact that he walked in revelation and inspiration. Having an intellectual understanding of scripture can be an advantage. Passion and zeal have their place in the Gospel. And even our incomplete understanding of God's plan is a beginning that we can build upon. But the bottom line is that we must walk in the revelation of Jesus Christ if we are to experience His perfect plan for our lives. Just as Paul had his intimate encounter with Jesus, we must do the same! That is what sustained Paul, and that is what will sustain us. Sustained Through Your Revelation Of Jesus Christ! 

What Is Most Important To You? by Myra Boozer

What is most important to you?

It's not important what kind of house you live in or the kind of car you drive...

It's not important to me if you have a Master's degree or any formal education...

It's not important to me what kind of coffee you drink or the kind of soda you prefer...

It's not important to me if you support Alabama Football or never watch a game...

It's not important to me if you are a member of the largest Church...or the smallest...

It's not important to me if you can quote the whole Bible or if you've never learned a verse...

It's just not important to me...

WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO ME IS THIS...

DO YOU HAVE A VITAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST AND KNOW HE IS COMING SOON…?

That is going to be ABSOLUTELY THE MOST IMPORTANT in the days just ahead... 

Sustained Through Your Revelation Of Jesus Christ! Part 3

(for part 2 see 2/19/26)

Acts 27:21, “But after long abstinence, Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss. 22And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship. 23For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, 24Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee. 25Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me. 26Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.” Revelation from God ensures survival, but there is still a requirement for individual participation. Three important elements of the God Factor come into play: Repentance, Faith, and Obedience.

Paul reminded his shipmates that they should have listened to him, because it was not only Paul who had discouraged this voyage. It was God through Paul! How many times has God tried to warn us along our journey, only for us to discount the messenger who delivered the warning? But God always has the last word. We determine our outcome by our obedience or lack thereof! So, the first thing these sailors had to deal with was their decision to sail, admit that it was a mistake, and be willing to change directions and follow Christ. The Bible calls this concept, Repentance. Second, they had to believe what Paul was telling them. This was the beginning of their Faith which would sustain them in the coming days.

Acts 27:27, “But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down...29Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day. 30And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship, 31Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved. 32Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.” The third element of the God Factor was that they must stay in the ship, continuing to exhibit faith in the revelation and Obedience to the man of God. God's plan of deliverance included the debris of the broken vessel, the vessel that had sustained them thus far. But they had to be willing to stay with the ship until she literally broke apart on the rocks. Those broken pieces became their salvation. When our circumstances are falling apart, we must stay true and obedient to God’s command in order to be saved. (continued). 

Where Are You? by Myra Boozer

Many times during the day, when our grandson was little and here, we would hear these words, “Where are you, Papa?” Or, “Where are you, Nana?” This is an important question for a young child. When this question was asked, we didn't hesitate. We would respond quickly!

I want to ask you that question today. Where are you? You may say I am at home, or I am on the job. Maybe you are in school or in the Military. You could even be on vacation, seeing the many beautiful sights in our world. This is what we think of when the question is asked. We respond to where we are physically.

In Genesis 3, God asked Adam that question, "And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?" This is the response that Adam gave, "And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?" The answer Adam gave has stuck with us down through the ages. "And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, SHE gave me of the tree, and I did eat." It is the transfer of accountability to someone other than ourselves. We have a very hard time accepting responsibility for our actions. So, we blame someone else for where we actually are in our lives.

I truly understand disappointment, heartbreak, broken homes, verbal abuse, lack of security, and unworthy condemnation. But with all of that, we are still responsible for our reaction to life and all it brings. We alone are responsible for the choices we make. Adam could have answered, “NO” to Eve. He could have reminded her of the command that God gave them about not eating of that one tree. Only one tree was forbidden. Of course, in the next verse, God asked Eve, "What is this thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I DID eat."

I do not read anymore of God communing with Adam and Eve in the cool of the day. However, I did read where "...God sent them forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken, So he drove out the man," Genesis chapter 3. There are definitely consequences to all our decisions! (continued) 

Sustained Through Your Revelation Of Jesus Christ! Part 2

(for part 1 see 2/18/26)

Paul stated that his intention was to press toward the mark. Phil. 3:14, “I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. 16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.” Paul knew from his experience that Christian growth is a daily challenge. He must have looked back many times to his Damascus road encounter with Jesus. That day, Paul received a revelation of who Jesus really was. He came face-to-face with the Son of God, the Redeemer of Israel, his Messiah, and he knew it in the depths of his soul. That encounter was, no doubt, an indispensable strength to him as he ministered for Christ. And the Lord continued to speak to him and reveal His truth.

In Acts 27, Paul had requested an audience with Caesar. He was in the custody of a Roman centurion and on his way to Rome. Acts 27:10, “And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives. 11 Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul. 12 And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter.” Paul had a revelation regarding this journey, but the centurion chose to listen to the captain rather than Paul. Why? Because it was not convenient to winter there, they wanted to proceed to Crete. Circumstances inspired them to continue on their journey rather than give heed to the revelation by the man of God. Inspiration driven by circumstance comes from our own personal desire and intellect, and usually does not end well.

Acts 27:13, “And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.” This again speaks to circumstance. A temporary change in circumstance can lull us into Satan's plan...v14, “But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind...18 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship; 19 And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship. 20 And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.” Three days and nights in the storm, and now all is lost. There is no hope except for God! They were not including the God Factor. They drew these conclusions based on their knowledge and the circumstances. Often, our knowledge is insufficient to draw the appropriate conclusion from our circumstances. Then we must go to God for revelation knowledge to chart the appropriate course. (continued). 

Lord, Write Your Words Upon My Heart! by Myra Boozer

Lord, write Your Words upon my heart today. As I sit under Your wonderful, baby blue sky, I hear many sounds, but the most prominent are the birds singing their songs of praise to You. The sun is shining through the pines, and the smell is so refreshing, pure, and clean. I feel a slight yet gentle breeze blowing upon this fleshly body. My own heart's beginning to sing of Your great splendor as I delight myself in Your peaceful beauty and rest.

The beauty of your handiwork is so enormous! To think that You would create such a place for mankind to live, to love, and enjoy is amazing to me. I feel so honored to have been allowed to experience life, enjoy family, and to know you as my Lord and Savior.

How can anyone not believe in You? How can they see the beauty and the mystery of life and not know there is a much higher power, and that power is You. You are the Lord God Almighty! You express yourself in all I see, in all I experience, and all I plan to experience in the days ahead.

I cannot find words to express my feelings about Your exceedingly great mercy for mankind. I am many times overtaken with grief for this beautiful world and the souls that don't seem to discern Your Coming and the culmination of all things. How can they not see, how can they not believe, how can they continue to resist Your tugging on their hearts? They only need to think rationally for a few moments to understand Your love, Your power, and Your plan for mankind.

Your love is superior to any love known to man. It cannot be duplicated or cloned by mortals. It flows from Your Holy Throne, pure and undefiled. There is no one like You. Your power is beyond all our imagination. No one is capable of keeping the oceans in place, hanging the stars out to shine just at the right time, send the rain, or make a rainbow. You are perfect in all of Your ways, and Your Kingdom is never-ending! 

Sustained Through Your Revelation Of Jesus Christ!

Ephesians 2:19, “Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.”

We must build our faith, our system of belief, upon the revelation of Jesus Christ. “And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone.” What we believe must be supported by the Word of God as taught and modeled by Jesus. He is our secure and eternal foundation. He is the only source of survival in this spiritual war.

There is a delicate balance in pursuing God into His revelation and pursuing our own inspiration. The determining factor is the Holy Spirit's anointing. God will anoint His revelation and Holy Spirit-inspired insight, but He will not anoint inspiration born of our human intellect. His anointing signifies recognition and approval. We must secure the anointing of God upon our message. If not, our message is not God's message. The goal for all should be to be one with Christ in desire, purpose, and message.

There is much to be said about the influence of our religious heritage. However, I don't want to be stuck (consumed) in religious tradition, but neither do I want to lose the spiritual virtue of past generations. It is important to understand that all of us are continuing to evolve into the people that God desires that we become. And just as important, that we understand that the Bride of Christ continues to evolve. Eph. 5:25, “Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” Paul says that Christ loves the Church and gave Himself for it that the process of making her ready might be accomplished by the washing of the Word. God's plan for the Body is set in stone, i.e., in the Word. It will not change, but we, the frail human characters that we are, must find His perfect plan for us.

In our search for God's perfect plan, we must remain flexible (fluid, pliable). A healthy tree can remain strong in the storm, but if there is disease and rot, the storm will expose that weakness. The storms are coming, and only the spiritual virtue of our heritage in Christ can sustain us. Any other foundation will crumble and fall under the storm's pressure. If we walk in obedience to God, we have an appointed end as described by Jeremiah. “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end,” Jer. 29:11. We can know our outcome if we put our faith in Jesus. (continued) 

Seek The Lord While He Can Be Found! by Myra Boozer

1 Peter 5:8, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:”

Satan, the prince of this world, has a plan! He is seeking after all those whom he can destroy. He is working and controlling every person who will listen to him. But God has given a window to the Child of God, an opportunity to PRAY, a time to sound the alarm before GOD releases judgment on Satan and all those who have obeyed the voice of the evil one. God is giving us time to warn people, a time to pray and seek Him, a time to come close to Him and gain strength for the days ahead.

Don't become so busy with plans and programs that you forget the DAY we are living in. Know that after we pray, we will still be living in the scheme (an orderly combination of things on a definite plan) for the last days. We can't change the times and seasons that God has ordained, but we can be filled with strength and hope and know that King Jesus will have the final say in this battle.

The days of Judgment are coming, and only those held in Jesus’ hands will be overcomers. Death has no sting for the child of God. Death is not the end but the door to Eternal Life through Jesus Christ. Seek Him while He may be found!

Let him that has ears to hear, HEAR! Why? "Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof; I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: For that they hated KNOWLEDGE, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Therefore, they shall eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil," Proverbs 1: 24-33. Seek the Lord while He can be found! 

Pray Like Daniel Prayed!

The prophet Daniel was not so different from you and me. He lived in a time of displacement and captivity for his people. He struggled to remain at peace with his captors and remain true to the Lord God Jehovah. But when he was forced to choose, he always chose God.

When Daniel knew that the decree had been signed forbidding anyone to pray to any god other than King Darius, Daniel made an open show of his allegiance to God (Daniel 6:10). Daniel prayed as before! His prayer life was the foundation for his existence, both present and future. When the enemy tested his love and loyalty to God, Daniel continued doing what he did every day. The die was cast and the pattern established. Therefore, Daniel held to his faith in God, and God delivered him.

The substance of our life in Christ must be established before the storm comes. We must know that the foundation of our life is built upon Jesus Christ, and all other ground is sinking sand. Therefore, when the trials of life test us, we continue doing what we have always done. We pray and trust God, as we always have, and God will deliver us once again!

Lord Jesus, help us to pray like Daniel prayed. Help us to trust like Daniel trusted. Help us to be delivered like Daniel was delivered. Thank you Lord for the power of your promises. Direct our steps to walk in your word and experience the power of your promises. Order our steps that we may walk in your perfect peace. In Jesus' name! Amen

Grace For Grace! by Myra Boozer

John 1:16-17, "And of His fullness have all we received, and grace for grace, For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ."

Thank you, God, for sending your Son, Jesus. Thank you...things have changed. We no longer struggle to conform to the law. Because of Jesus, we have been covered by Grace, and He has written His laws in our hearts that we might not sin against HIM. Lord God, your ways and your truths are so strong and mighty and worth seeking.

My mind and my heart have a hard time understanding your willingness to send your Son to die for us. I am humbled when I think of Jesus' willingness to suffer such humiliation, shame, and torture that resulted in death on the old rugged cross. Not for one, but for all who would kneel at that cross in repentance of their sins.

Every day, I can come to your Banquet of Grace. Love, Forgiveness, and Healing are all provided and so much more. When I come humbly before you, I receive all your provisions. It is only through my Faith in You that I eat from the TABLE you have so graciously set before me. Lord, I pray for greater Faith and a stronger desire to push through every distraction that keeps me from your table.

Thank you for this "grace upon grace." It flows down from the Father of Light. It is shining in the darkness, but many are not willingly or accepting. They are not comprehending it. "He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth NOT is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. For this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men LOVED darkness rather than light, because their deeds were EVIL." John 3:18-19

The Word says in John 3:15, "That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have Everlasting Life." So glad that "whosoever" included me! Grace For Grace! 

God Loves You!

John 3:14, “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”

Our frail human mind is incapable of fully comprehending the magnitude of God’s love for us. How can someone whom we have not known previously be willing to sacrifice His only Son for our benefit? Romans 5:6, “For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. 11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.”

When we did not realize how wretched, vile, reprobate, and lost we were, God had planned for our total and complete deliverance! Through the precious blood offering of His Son, Jesus, the pure and spotless Lamb of God, the penalty for sin was paid. When barely for a righteous man and possibly for a good man, some would dare to die, God loved us when we were still sinners. Christ died for us, and we are justified by His blood. We are saved from the wrath of God as we look to the cross and believe. When the sin in us made us enemies of God, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son. We have now received life through the atonement of Christ Jesus for our sin. He died and rose again to provide our deliverance, to free us from the curse of sin and sin’s punishment.

God’s desire is for all men everywhere to be saved. 1 Timothy 2:4, “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all...” God has prepared the way through the gift of His only Son. The penalty for sin has been paid. All one needs to do is repent of his sins and accept the Lordship of Christ in his life. God Loves You!

If you are tired of what sin has done to your life and want to be FREE from the curse of sin and sin’s punishment, Pray this prayer with me! “Lord Jesus Christ, Thank You for paying the penalty for my sin. I believe You gave Your life to ransom my life. I believe You died on the cross, but You rose victorious over death, hell, and the grave on the third day just as You had promised. I’m tired of my life of sin. From this moment forward, I give my life to You. You paid the ransom for my sin. I belong to You. Use me now for Your honor and glory, and give me an eternal home with You in heaven. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for Loving me! Amen!” 

Where Love Grows! by Myra Boozer

Love is such a delight...It flows from Heaven and spills over into our everyday lives like honey running down our hands. We hustle to capture and savor every last drop. But when the evening comes to an end...and the sun begins to go down behind the trees...and all that is seen is the closing of another day...my heart begins to recall the sweetness in the gentle laughter and the tender smile of a little lad...who has held our hearts and made us smile, giggle, and laugh out loud. His innocent little face, with those big blue eyes and locks of curly blond hair...how they run through my mind. They are like strands of gold upon a deep blue ocean. They are priceless and seem to never end. He calls out in fun to play, and we must not delay...for he calls us to come into his world where there is no list of chores or duties to perform...He calls us loud and strong, and we must surrender for that is where love grows and overflows, and we hustle to capture and savor every moment…

Psalm 127:3, “Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.” 

Celebrate The Treasure Of Children!

Matt. 18:2, “And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, 3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”

There is something so very priceless about being in the company of children. They are such precious creations. Often, as I look into the faces of my jewels, the blessings God has given to me, my gifts straight from heaven, my grandchildren, I see in them the reflection of the face of God. Many times, I have met them just outside my front door as they came running up my walkway. Their faces were all aglow with joy, and so happy to come to our house. With sweet smiles upon their faces and arms spread wide, they run into the arms of their anxiously awaiting grandfather.

Such an exchange of love and embrace is hard to describe in ordinary words. It makes one's heart melt before God and all creation just to think that such a relationship can even exist. And you know in your heart this is not just a human experience. You realize that the connection reaches deep down to the very soul. It reaches into that part of us which is unique to the human being. There is no other facet of creation that can experience such a relationship. And God breathed the breath of life into the first human being, and he became a living soul. I am overwhelmed with thanksgiving that He has created such a wonder. Thank you, Lord, for including us in such an awesome plan. Celebrate The Treasure Of Children! 

No Bucket Needed! Conclusion by Myra Boozer

(for part 1 see 2/13/26)

Then, the second scripture is John 11:4; go back to verse 3. The sisters said, “Lord behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.” When Jesus heard this, he said, "THIS SICKNESS IS NOT UNTO DEATH, BUT FOR THE GLORY OF GOD, THAT THE SON OF GOD MIGHT BE GLORIFIED THEREBY."

It doesn’t matter where we are in our journey, sick, dying, or in Lazarus case, dead! Jesus is the same! He is the LIFE! There is no problem too big, too difficult, too unreachable for Him. HE is the source of ALL we need. He doesn't have to use anything or anybody to perform what we need. Though he has and does use people to help us at different times, He doesn't have to! HE IS THE GREAT I AM...

Whatever you're going through today or whatever your heart is trying to conceive from the Lord, KNOW that his arm is not too short that He can't reach you and fix whatever is wrong in your life! Whether it is for you or someone you love...No Bucket Needed! 

Our Hope Is Secure In Jesus Christ!

1Cor. 15:57-58, “But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.”

The natural man within us is governed by conditions and circumstances. If we look only at what we see with our physical sight, our future is looking rather bleak. The dark days around us can become very distressing, discouraging, and hopeless. However, our life in Jesus Christ is not governed by our natural man. We can rise above every circumstance and condition by the Holy Spirit of God, which inhabits this mortal body. We are not dominated by what we see or what we perceive to be taking place around us. “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me...” Psalm 23:4. He will go with me all the way. He will ensure that I finish my mission according to His plan if I put my faith and trust in Him. I will fear no evil because He goes with me and leads me in the way I should go.

Thanks be to God who gives us the victory because He reigns Sovereign over all Creation. There has no trial been given to man that the power of His Love and Grace cannot vanquish. We stand in the power of His Love. His Love for all mankind set Him on the cross. His Love for us brought Him forth from the grave and raised Him Victorious over death and hell. By His Grace, He extends to us the gift of His Resurrection. Believe on Him, accept His promise, and receive eternal live. Our Hope Is Secure In Jesus Christ! 

No Bucket Needed! by Myra Boozer

Early one morning, I vaguely remember hearing a scripture go over in my mind. I didn't get up and read it, but this was the scripture that came to me: John 4:11. Then I questioned whether it was John 4:11 or John 11:4. Over breakfast, I shared with my husband both scriptures and that I really didn't know which scripture it was. He said, “Wow, they are so connected.” I agreed and accepted them both as nuggets of gold, not giving one more value than the other, but thinking of them as going hand in hand.

I saw myself in the first scripture as the woman at the well. She said, “Sir, (speaking in the carnal) thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep.” In other words, how are you going to do this? This sounds impossible, and this well is deeper, further, and harder to reach than what you are thinking. Lord, I don't see how you're going to do this.

This is where we are so many times in our thinking and in our praying! HOW IN THE WORLD WILL THIS COME TO BE? We are thinking in the flesh, not Spiritually minded, not thinking that He needs nothing... No help... No assistance... No bucket to draw with because He IS THE LIVING WATER. He is ALL we need! (continued) 

Don't Focus On The Circumstances!

John 4:3, “He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee. 4 And he must needs go through Samaria. 5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. 6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.”

“He must needs go through Samaria.” Why did Jesus need to go through Samaria? He had a message for that city! It began with the woman at the well of Jacob and spread all over the city. When the word spread about the woman’s encounter with Jesus, many came to see for themselves. Her invitation was, John 4:29, “Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ? 30 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.” Many more believed at the testimony of Jesus. John 4:42, “...Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.”

Don't focus on your circumstances! They can be misleading! Look for the opportunity Jesus is giving you in your circumstance to minister and be a blessing to others. With every test we face, the Lord gives us a way out, and that usually involves other people. Maybe God wants to help others by helping you. Are we willing to be the vessel a proclaim, "Come see a man" who answered my prayer and delivered me from my circumstance!

Oh, how we need Christ Jesus to be manifest in our lives and in our churches. Having heard of this woman’s encounter and subsequent revelation, the people of Samaria came to see for themselves. Their desire was to see this Jesus who had told her all things. We are meeting people daily, and our churches are filled week after week with people who are searching for the answers to the needs in their lives. They need Jesus! They need to see Jesus in us and to see Him manifest in the everyday activity we are a part of! 

Change My Heart, Oh God! by Myra Boozer

I love this song..."Change my Heart oh God, make it ever new. Change my heart oh God, make it more like you." It is also a great prayer. Isn't His Grace Amazing? To think that He would forgive all our sins and cast them far, far away in a sea to never be remembered. Just makes me cry when I think how my mother taught me many years ago about the love of Jesus. This love also takes away our chains, the things that seem to hold us captive and make us a prisoner. His love says NO MORE BONDAGE! His love is unending and still so amazing after all these years. I trust Him to take me on the rest of my days, however long they may be.

My mother also taught me how to cook, sew, clean house, take care of babies, and much more. However the best things she ever taught me was that Jesus loves me and died on the cross for my sins. She taught me to love others as myself, to be forgiving, and to pray about everything. She taught me by example, which is the most profitable way to teach.

I must share this news with you today. Jesus loves YOU and died for YOU. You too can be set free from all the struggle, from all the guilt and shame, the chains that bind, the things that pull you down and make your life miserable. They can vanish in a moments time, when you humble yourself and allow God to raise you up in His Holiness because He is Holy, Righteous, and Pure.

He wants to hold you in His great big arms today and make everything new. JESUS LOVES YOU MORE THAN YOU COULD EVER KNOW. Put your trust in Him. He is your deliverer and He will fight your battles. You don't have to struggle any longer or carry the guilt of sin. Just surrender to the one who created you, loves you and died for you. He wants to give you life everlasting and peace for the journey until that Day. His love is so Amazing, so rich and free. He is so full of compassion and great mercy. When all around you is crumbling and falling away, Jesus will not fail you. He is your steady ROCK, your firm FOUNDATION and Soon Coming King! 

Jesus' Love Pulls Back The Veil That Separates Us From God!

I began this day as I do every day in the grace and mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ. I see that His love abounds everywhere, even in the areas of our world that appear to be dominated by sin. But, Jesus’ love is there! A love which transcends all obstacles, penetrates into the most remote and isolated crevices of life. Every area of human existence is held in the shelter of His hand.

Your need and my need are laid bare before Him. He knows where we are, what we feel, and what we dream. He sees each despairing thought and feels the anguish that we feel. He identifies with every human experience and emotion that has and will touch our lives. He left His throne in glory, took upon Himself the form of human flesh, so He can tell you today, “I have been where you are, and I feel what you feel.” He experienced the human condition in the fullest sense yet without sin. Heb. 4:15, “For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.”

He is saying to the whole human race, “I understand. I have made a way out. Believe on me as the scripture has said and be free.” You may feel trapped in a place you don't want to be. Give it all to Jesus! He has made a way of escape for you. Trust Him! He knows the way. He is the WAY! Romans 10:13, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Look to Him and live! 

Bid Me Come, Lord! by Myra Boozer

Lord, seeing you, having my focus on you doesn't always make the circumstances disappear. But my focus and faith rise to a different level. There, I can regain my knowledge of who you actually are and realize how you have every detail in your Book. You know the end from the beginning. You are in control of all that is going on in this world today.

You, Lord, are greater than my mind can conceive. I only get a glimpse of your greatness when I turn my eyes toward you. When Peter walked upon the waters, the winds and waves didn't cease for his delightful experience. They continued to roar! However, He was not looking at them! His focus was upon the one who called him to "come." He rose above them, but they were still there.

We must not be overtaken by the circumstances around us, and yes, they seem to be quite out of hand. We wonder what will happen tomorrow? We may question the stability of everything we have ever trusted in. But, just like Peter, we can say, Lord, bid me to come to you. Call me, Lord! Lift me up out of this ship of confusion that is no longer my refuge. I trust you to be my safe haven.

Lord, help my focus to be on you, not on the things that are crumbling under my feet. Help me, Lord, to step out in faith and realize that you are all I need. You are my hope, my everlasting consolation.

You are calling all who are heavy-laden to come unto you! One day you will, "with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God," call us to come up to where you are to be with you forever. That is the call we long to hear. Bid Me Come, Lord! 

Let It Start In Me!

“There is a change coming. Let it start in me.” The lines have been drawn. God will bring His plan to completion. Satan will fight against God and all who identify with His holiness. The wind of God’s Holy Spirit is effectuating the change necessary in the heart of every believer to make us ready for the finale. Change is coming! Are you willing to be changed?

“Father God, I pray for the Body of Christ, all of us! Help us to hear what You are saying to the Church. Create within us a renewed desire to walk in intimacy with You. Bring us so close that the wind of Your Spirit cannot pass between us except we are aware of what You are doing in the Body.

Father, we must have Your direction and instruction. Push back the darkness that clouds our minds and thoughts and prevents us from walking fully in Your light. Burn away the fog of deception with the fire of Your Holy Spirit in our presence. Lead us forward into Your Divine plan for each of us and collectively as the Body of Christ. Shine Your Light upon our path that we can see clearly the way You have chosen for us.

Help us each one to find our place and serve with renewed passion. Create that passion in us as we submit to the direction of the Holy Spirit. Empower us to share Your message in the anointing of Your Spirit. Break the chains that prevent us from seeing total victory. Create within us an insatiable hunger for renewal and spiritual awakening.

Father God, send Your Holy Ghost fire among us. Baptize us afresh in Your Pentecostal power. Father breathe upon us once again. Breathe Your life into this breathless, hopeless mortal body. Quicken us with Your Life-giving Spirit. Cause cloven tongues of fire to rest upon us yet once more. Thank you, Jesus! Stir the burning embers of our past experience that they may break into a full blaze of present revival fire. Send Your fire Lord and prepare us to receive Him when He comes! In Jesus Name, Amen.” 

What Are We Doing With What We Know About God? by Myra Boozer

Ezekiel 33:11, “Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die...”

What are we doing with what we know about God? There comes a time when all of us need to allow the Holy Spirit in us to reveal to others what we know about the Lord...even more deeply than what we have done in the past. I believe we have reached that day. Some will stand and preach, sing, and testify of the love of God and what He means to them in simple terms. But what I am writing about today goes much deeper than that. I am talking about what God himself has revealed to you personally. What has He showed you? Or what is He speaking to your heart? Somethings are very personal, but others are Truths that need to be opened to the light for all to see!

Some people run from any enlightenment that God has given outside the Bible. But, I believe that God is the God of TRUTH, and what He reveals will always align with what He has already established. He will not go against Himself. Why would He? He knows everything. He knows the past and the future. So, He would only reveal Himself as Truth.

These are some things that I know about God. He is the One and Only true God, who gave His One and Only Son to bring man back to himself. Sin came into the world through Adam's disobedience, but through the sacrifice and death of His Son, Jesus, God has created the way for man to return to Him. He is a Holy and righteous God who does no sin and will not tolerate sin. Why would He give His son to die for something that He would condone?

I know that he truly loves mankind because of His sacrifice. I know He is sending His Son to take the righteous people from this earth before he allows sinful man to dive off the edge to total darkness...and bring about the wrath that has been saved up for generations because of evil doers. I know that He desires that none perish, but He will allow people free choice.

This is only the beginning, and I hope to share with you more of what God has shared with me. I hope this inspires you to share what God means to you and is revealing to you TODAY. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT GOD?” Don't hide it under a bushel or bury it in the ground. SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOF TOP! Let the world know the truths He is putting into your spirit. Share Truth with your world because He is Coming Soon! 

Take A Stand For Truth And Justice?

Will we as a people take a stand for truth and justice? We face a difficult time ahead as political leaders jockey for position, power, and influence. For the most part, it is all just a lot of noise like a sporting event. Each side supports and vehemently defends their team and believes it doesn't matter about the process, so long as our team wins. But it really does matter how we play the game. The game builds character and integrity, which embrace truth, justice, and judgment. If the process fails to yield these attributes, how can we expect a government to lead in truth and justice? It is not what we say but what we do that defines us as a person, as a church, and as a nation. God help us! Take A Stand For Truth And Justice? 

Time To Look Up! by Myra Boozer

Just thinking about how Satan works to paint a picture of horrible, no-win situations in the lives of those who may be going through a dry valley. A place where you are thirsty for a drink of spiritual waters, a place where you seem to be all alone and no one seems to have time to give you an encouraging word...a time when the wall just won't come down and the Lord seems to withhold the ladder for you to climb over and then with everything else it's time to pay those bills and the money is low...the tears seem to flow and the heart breaks. But, you will find that the Lord is standing in front of you holding out His hands to you...wanting to lift you from the valley and sit you on the mountain of Hope where the sun is shinning and the birds are singing the song of deliverance.

It is up to you, after you pour out your heart and rid yourself of all the doubt and the fear, reach up to the One who can change that picture and give you the best drink of water you have ever had. Tear down those walls and open those doors that have been closed. This is for you if you are looking down instead of looking up. God loves you...Love Him back and watch things begin to change. Time To Look Up! 

The Message Is Jesus Christ!

There are many issues in our world that could warrant our participation to alleviate the suffering all around us. Our world is in full blown crisis and needs an intervention. We need the intervention of the Lord Jesus Christ. We will never be able to do enough to address all the needs, but Jesus can and will heal the hurt of all mankind if we will allow Him. What does He require? A repentant heart and a submissive life. Jesus Christ would have us give our all to Him so that He can draw all men to the cross. John 12:31, “Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. 32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.” Our message must be centered on Jesus Christ!   

Christ-centered ministry is built upon the foundation of selflessness. Jesus’ example was that of total selfless demeanor in word and deed. His concern was for the wholeness of the human race rather than His own comfort and gratification. Consequently, our future is predicated upon the delivery of the Gospel message, the message of salvation through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross for the sins of all mankind. The Gospel is the solution for the present human condition. The Gospel is what the world needs to hear. Any other message is of little effect. What the world needs now is to experience the love of God in Christ. Only the blood of Jesus can deliver from the chains of sin and death. We must approach this divine mandate in total surrender, asking God the question, “What would you have me do?” Self must die if we are to answer Him honestly. Allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you. Give Him your plan and allow Him to include you in His. 

Lord, Deliver Us From Evil! by Myra Boozer

Dear Lord, I ask that YOU help all Christians to stand strong against the evil in our world. Help us to not be shaken by what is coming and already here. We desire that nothing hinder us as we seek YOU.

May we trust YOU in these evil days. We desire to stand in the power of YOUR might against the enemy of our souls and the souls of our families. Lord, may we receive wisdom to know how to share YOUR Gospel Message effectively.

Evil is on every hand, trying to destroy every good work, especially the work of the righteous. Lord may we seek to be filled and overflowing with YOUR Spirit so that no evil spirit can enter our hearts.

We must rise up as Daniel and proclaim YOUR Word because it is power unto salvation. God, Your Word tells us that no weapon formed against us shall prosper. We stand on that truth! It tells us that we are made overcomers by YOUR blood and the word of our testimony.

We proclaim YOUR Word is truth! We cast our cares on YOU and delight ourselves in YOU. May faith continue to arise in our hearts as we send praises to YOUR throne. Deliver Us From Evil for thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory...Forever...Amen
