Matthew 10:16
New King James Version -- Jesus speaking to the disciples
16 “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless[
as doves."

My husband Jonathan G Krauss has a silly habit of listening to monotone stories on Facebook about life stories. In one he played, this morning, he played one where this man did a test on his "circle of friends" because they knew his financial status. He used wisdom in his intuition in the process and noticed his "friends " abandoned him, stopped texting and calling him. Also in the process a friend invited him to hang out, his girlfriend posed to cook at home instead of spending exuberant amounts of money on going out, and a king neighbor brought homemade meals with notes reading, "Hope you are doing okay!"

This man used wisdom and found the people he once called "friend" and shared his life that he meant to after all! Yes it hurt deeply, but the Bible says:
Psalm 34:17-18
New King James Version
17 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears,
And delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart,
And saves such as have a contrite spirit.
In the comfort, the man found love, friendship, and kindness of the unexpected!

Today take the backseat. Stand back and be silent in wisdom. Don't react in anger when you hear gossip or scuttle about you!! Instead turn your heel!
My mom always told me that an honorable soldier can turn their heels and whip around in one second with your head held high. So when you take a back seat notice or hear negativity about you, turn your heels 👠, whip around, hold your head held high -- and for goodness sake straighten that crown 👑!!!

1 Kings 19:11-13
New King James Version
God’s Revelation to Elijah
11 Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.
13 So it was, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. Suddenly a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

This morning, as I was going outside from taking some medicine in my bedroom, I was passing the dining room table and I felt in my spirit to take some paper towels with me. So I came outside, went to sit down and my leg jiggled the table and splooshed my coffee I had everywhere!
So in the midst of cleaning it up I said, "TY Holy Spirit for quickening me to get some paper towels. Father You knew beforehand this was gonna happen!" And he said to me, "ALWAYS listen to my still, small voice!"

In the scripture above, Elijah was fleeing the evil Queen Jezebel after Elijah executed the prophets of Baal (the god of Ahab and Jezebel) (1 Kings chapter 18). She became enraged and sought to kill Elijah. The Father saw this and instructed Elijah to go to the top of the mountain. Suddenly an earthquake happens, but God was not IN the earthquake. Then a fire happens but God was not IN the fire. Then after the fire came His still small voice asking Elijah, "What are you doing here?"

When the enemy sees you praising, worshipping, praying, reading your Bible, and living out the Bible Satan will send an earthquake to shake up your life -- but remember, God is not in the earthquake. And if the earthquake doesn't shake you, Satan will send his fire to singe your life -- burning friendships family and friends relationships, change in attitude, burning employment, and most of all burning your relationship with God!

But when you stay attuned to His still small voice and allow God to be God in your life, you will conquer every trial and mountain in life with Father God at the helm! Remember in Philippians chapter 2 it says, " At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord of all!"

The Holy Spirit spoke this teaching to me this morning.

Matthew 6:22
New King James Version -- Jesus speaking
The Lamp of the Body
22 “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light."

When I was car shopping with my husband about a month ago, I remember one of the first things I did was look through the windows. I wanted to see what the seats, gear shifter (standard or automatic) was, and if the back seat and trunk were spacious enough.

In the above scripture, Jesus said: “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good (my references say that Jesus is saying good meaning clear or healthy), your whole body will be full of light" What Jesus was saying here is to guard what you allow eyes to see and watch on TV, social media, and the movies. Don't let your laxidaciouness of not caring what you expose your eyes cause you to sin. Satan has and will try daily to get you to sin! He will lure you to watch "corn (drop the c add a p)" and to watch sinful movies and TV shows that are NOT Godly in one sense. What you allow yourself to see will get planted by Satan himself in your mind for you to remember over and over again, become obsessed and then addicted, and end up in more sin that all began with "one little TV show and sinful movies!" Put on your helmet of salvation (Ephesians 6:17a) to guard your mind!
Instead allow the light 🕯️ of Christ to shine through you because you HAVE guaranteed your mind by shielding your eyes from sinful things.

Proverbs 3:5-6
New King James Version
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.

I say this scripture in my morning and night prayers -- but I personalize it.

On March 27th, 2026 I moved to Greer, South Carolina, threw everything in storage the next day, then on April 15th, 2026 we went and got everything out of storage and moved into a permanent house in Spartanburg, South Carolina -- which is an hour away from my family.
Now I say this scripture in my morning and night prayers. And as I was just praying to Father God pouring my heart out to Him telling Him that "I thought I heard you correctly Lord when you told me that 'it's time!'"
Mind you I had just told God, "I wish You were sitting right there in front of me!"
And I went on and on so bing like the victim I was claiming to b!
With my hands held on my cheekbones like somebody was holding my face, the Lord spoke to me and said, "You didn't ask ME what it was time for!"
At this point I was pouring out my heart more with a bunch of repentance. In between prayers, I was telling Father God that "I'm sorry if I didn't ask 'by what time you meant!'"

The Father told me to "Trust Him...lean NOT on my own understanding...in ALL my ways acknowledge HIM and HE WILL guide and direct my path!"

I don't know what yet is my mission is up here yet. I do know that my God is a mountain moving, miracle working, and a promise keeper who is a "man that He shall not lie (Numbers 23:19
King James Version
19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?)?"

Isaiah 40:28-31
New King James Version
28 Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
The everlasting God, the Lord,
The Creator of the ends of the earth,
Neither faints nor is weary.
His understanding is unsearchable.
29 He gives power to the weak,
And to those who have no might He increases strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
And the young men shall utterly fall,
31 But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.

In Genesis chapters 1&2, it proves the Spirit of the Lord hovered over the earth before the Lord said "Let there be light; and there was light" (chapter 1:3).

In Joel 3:10b the Lord said through the prophet Joel, "Let the weak say I am strong."

In Psalm 27:14 the Bible says:
New King James Version
14 Wait on the Lord;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord!

God, with His own two hands, created us.

He strengths us.

And when we wait on Him, and trust in Him with all our heart (Proverbs 3:5-6) we will "mount up with wings like eagles,
We will run and not be weary,
We will walk and not faint" through any problem and situation in life!

Brothers and sisters PLEASE pray! My husband and I will be moving (alone with no help) to our new house on Wednesday. We are using our vehicle and a Budget van. Say a prayer for us
