The Holy Spirit moves with terrifying power, but that does not mean we have to be afraid of His work. When He moves, His goal is to clean out the stagnant parts of our lives and give us the momentum we need to move forward in God’s calling. I hope you will read my article “A Holy Wind,” because in it, I talk about what it really looks like when the Holy Spirit moves and why we should all pursue His partnership in our lives.

Just as Jesus instructed the disciples, the Lord wants us to utilize the gift of the Holy Spirit. How unfortunate it would be to have the Spirit of God in your life and not even know what it means for Him to be there! The Holy Spirit is truly a gift, but we must open this gift to receive it!

It's Sunday ... be still and KNOW that I am God.
That word, "know" ... means so much to us as followers of Christ. It denotes and intimacy, a time of sweet presence and loving embrace. Shhhhhh. be still.

Some of you may not believe that dreams and visions are for today ... but this one will touch the lives of some of you anyway.

I was thinking about the scripture that says we will be held "accountable" for every idle word we have spoken. A friend once told me, "Idle words are words that don't have a job."

I closed my eyes, and I was in a sea of words. I could see a million or more words that were floating in the air around me, thick and milling around. I began to push my way through like I was pushing aside sticky cobwebs, and in the distance there was a light, like the light of the moon through drifting clouds.

As I pushed all those words aside, and moved toward the light, I heard the Holy Spirit whisper to me, "Push aside all the idle words, and move toward MY WORDS, MY TRUTH, and begin to speak as I say. Then your words will have meaning and substance."

I'm praying for HIM to guide my words so that they will have meaning and substance. And mercy! And compassion! and value to those spoken to. Lord, help me!

I just heard an interview this morning on the radio with a doctor who was discussing the abortion issue. He referenced this attached picture taken many years ago, of a child, in the womb, grasping the doctor's hand as he was performing a delicate surgery on the baby. This baby's name is Steven ... and he is now in college, has a girlfriend, and is an incredible young man!
The interview was discussing late term abortions. I couldn't finish the interview ... I was sobbing so hard I could barely stay on the road. A young college journalist had called an abortion clinic pretending she was in late term and wanted to ask questions about having an abortion. Here's a little of what that entailed.
"Do you do late term abortions?" (Oh yes, they did a lot of them) *Not surprised.
"Does the baby feel pain?" (No ... they don't really feel anything.) *Liars!
"Is it quick?" (No ... this is a four day procedure. First we insert a needled into the womb and inject the baby's heart with a drug that stops it from beating. The next day you come in and we give you drugs to help you dilate. The third day you come in and we remove the fetus and the surrounding tissue. The fourth day we make sure you are cleaned out and dispose of the tissue)
by this time I was sick ... sobbing ... and have been so most of the day. How could anyone be so cold-hearted, so sick of soul, as to just make light of what we all know deep inside is a little baby who feels, senses, knows touch, realizes sounds, and responds to all of those emotions?
And Arizona is voting on prop 139 ... to legalize this horrid procedure!! Don't believe them when they deny it ... read the proposition carefully and you will clearly see that is exactly what it does. Please vote no on that proposition!!
Did you know that there is now a "fellowship" in the medical field that a doctor can spend two years learning how to provide "medical care" that includes late-term abortions? After learning how to save lives for four years, now they can provide the opposite? How is that even within the scope of understanding?
I wish I could remember who was doing the program I was listening to ... it was on one of the local stations and I will try to find out which one and if the transcripts are available. NOT THAT I THINK everyone should listen ... but I want to make it available if anyone wants to "fact check" what I've written here.
