Dear Lord , please bless this relationship with Your LOVE.

I knocked at heaven's door this morning..
God asked me....'My child, what can I do for you?'
And I said, 'Father, please protect and bless the person reading this message.'
God smiled and answered...'Request granted'.



'Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of Battle .'

Lord is saying today You have no idea how much I love you. The first covenant was sealed with the blood of animals. But that covenant has been superseded by a new covenant, a second one, sealed by the blood of Jesus in his death on the cross for the sins of all mankind. This was the highest price I could pay to redeem you and give you the benefits of the second and eternal covenant that can never be broken by you or Me. Think about that and know I love you with a love that no man fully knows. When you received Christ as your personal Savior, you received all my love at that time because you now have Jesus as My word living in you. Do you see and understand?
Hebrews 10:9-10 (NASB) "Then He said, " BEHOLD, I HAVE COME TO DO YOUR WILL." He takes away the first in order to establish the second. By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all."



A jolt in awareness came suddenly. Up until then you did not see some things in perspective. Now you see clearly. Now is the time to act according to understanding. Now is time to press in while the iron is hot. Ask for counsel. Listen to counsel. Seek Me. Write it down. Obey Me. The victory is assured if you continue walking the in godly counsel of others and the pinpoint instruction of My word. Look ahead to the victory and the joy it will bring, but do not lose sight of the path to get there. It is taken one step at a time. Rejoice now in the coming victory.
Habakkuk 2:2-3 (NASB) "Then the Lord answered me and said, "Record the vision And inscribe it on tablets, That the one who reads it may run. "For the vision is yet for the appointed time; It hastens toward the goal and it will not fail. Though it tarries, wait for it; For it will certainly come, it will not delay."

Happy Easter, brother Badger.

May God shine in your relationship with Julia.

Praise be to the Lord!! HE HAS RISEN! :)

I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety. (Ps 4.8) Safety in God

But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love Your name Be joyful in You. For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield. (Ps 5.11-12) God is my shield

Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak; O Lord, heal me, for my bones are troubled. My soul also is greatly troubled; But You, O Lord how long? Return, O Lord, deliver me! Oh, save me for Your mercies' sake! (Ps 6.2-4) My Troubled soul

I am weary with my groaning; All night I make my bed swim; I drench my couch with my tears. My eye wastes away because of grief; It grows old because of all my enemies. (Ps 6.6-7) Weary & weeping

O Lord my God, in You I put my trust; Save me from all those who persecute me; And deliver me (Ps 7.1) Persecuted

The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble.
And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You. (Ps 9.9-10) God is my refuge

How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me? How long shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my heart daily? How long will my enemy be exalted over me?
Consider and hear me, O Lord my God; Enlighten my eyes, Lest I sleep the sleep of death; Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed against him''; Lest those who trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
But I have trusted in Your mercy; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.
I will sing to the Lord, Because He has dealt bountifully with me. (Psalm 13)
Why does God delay?

I will love You, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. (Ps 18.1-2) God is my strength

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer. (Ps 19.14) Lord, hear my prayer

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup Runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. (Psalm 23)
The Lord is my Shepherd

To You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

O my God, I trust in You; Let me not be ashamed; Let not my enemies triumph over me. Indeed, let no one who waits on You be ashamed; Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause.
Show me Your ways, O Lord; Teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day.
Remember, O Lord, Your tender mercies and Your lovingkindnesses, For they have been from of old. (Ps 25.1-6)
I lift up my soul unto God

The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid? (Ps 27.1) Whom shall I fear?

One thing I have desired of the Lord, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the Lord, And to inquire in His temple.
For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; In the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock.
And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me; Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord. (Ps 27.4-6)
In times of trouble

Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. (Ps 30.4-5) Joy cometh in the morning

O love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer. Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord. (Ps 31.23-24) God strengthens my heart

Many sorrows shall be to the wicked; But he who trusts in the Lord, mercy shall surround him. (Ps 32.10) Obtaining mercy

Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy, To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.
Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in Him, Because we have trusted in His holy name.
Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us, Just as we hope in You. (Ps 33.18-22) God watches over me

The Angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them.
Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! (Ps 34.7-8) Taste & see that the Lord is good

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their cry. (Ps 34.15) God listens to me

The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit. (Ps 34.18) God ministers to my broken heart

Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass. (Ps 37.5) Trust God & He will do it!

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For the Lord upholds him with His hand. (Ps 37.23-24) If I fall, God picks me up

Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. (Ps 55.22) I give my burdens to God

In God is my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, And my refuge, is in God. (Ps 62.7) The rock of my strength is God

Continuing in agreement. The Lord will make a way where there is no way. He is truly God of all! :)

In Jesus Christ's Name, may Julia and Badger be lifted to You, God of All! AMEN.

Power of Prayer - How powerful is it?
The power of prayer should not be underestimated. James 5:16-18 declares, "…The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops." God most definitely listens to prayers, answers prayers, and moves in response to prayers.

Jesus taught, "…I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you" (Matthew 17:20). 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 tells us, "The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." The Bible urges us, "And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints" (Ephesians 6:18).

Lifting Julia and you to the Lord. Heavenly Father, thank You for the wonderful opportunities You presented in Badger's life. Lord, please pave and make a way for Julia and him to be at peace with each other and with You. You first, Lord. Forever, You first. Bless this couple in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

God Is Our Hope

God is our hope and strength,
a very present help in trouble.

Therefore will we not fear, though the earth be moved,
and though the hills be carried into the midst of the sea;

Though the waters thereof rage and swell,
and though the mountains shake at the tempest of the same.

There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God,
the holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High.

--- Psalms 46: 1-4
