Stones


Stones

I will stretch forth My powerful hand 
And stop that mighty river in it's tracks 
I will blow upon the wet impassable earth 
Preparing it for your passage

I will hold back the water by My strong and mighty hand
You will walk right through  

The land I promised
Is right before you 

It's victory and abundant joy 
It's rest and peace forevermore


Bring a stone with you to the other side 
As a memorial 
That I stopped the Jordan from it's powerful flow 
Giving you passage to the other side

The other side of troubles and temptations

The other side of sickness in your body and spirit

The other side of strife and unbelief

I delivered you 

 Put your stones where your children can see them
And when they ask

"What are these stones?"
You will answer and say

God delivered us from our past
And gave us land 
Where destiny and purpose are fulfilled   

Pick up your stones 
Carry them to the other side
They will stand forever 
A memorial to your children 
Of what God has done

Blessings, Terry

A Threatening Storm

Image
  A Threatening Storm What appeared as the greatest storm I'd ever face was upon me! I heard the Dr.s voice saying well there wasn't much clarification in the cat scan about that lump in the back of your throat but there's a lot of notes about what did show up... You have a meningioma tumor on your brain........ I immediately went into shock as I really never thought I would ever hear that word again in my lifetime. You see my former husband had suffered twelve years with a meningioma brain tumor and it finally took him home to heaven. So with uncontrollable tears streaming down my face I really didn't hear much more except he would schedule me for an MRI and an appointment to  see a neurologist. I left his office completely numb and in total disbelief of what he told me. The next day the imaging office called and scheduled my MRI, and on and on it went with tests, appointments, followup appointments, other specialists with more imaging and when w...

Light in the Darkness

Image
I grew up thinking holiness was reserved for priests and nuns. I see the danger of this thinking is that we conform more and more to the world because holiness is unattainable; or not even considered as a goal to be desired or even thought about. However the opposite is true in God's word. "..Be holy, for I am holy" First Peter 1:16. So I have to conclude it is possible. How do we become holy? Let's read what Peter had to say... beginning in   1Peter 1:13-16  "Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope freely upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lust, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, "Be holy for I am holy."  I see the world getting darker and darker and yet the contrast between light (holiness) and darkness (the...

The Miracle and Gift

Image
  The Miracle and Gift Even the very first Christmas was a very busy time... Bethlehem Joseph and Mary Shepherds Angels and more angels Everyone was in the hustle and bustle of registering for the census, not even realizing the most amazing happening on earth was about to take place. Traveling to their destination of Josephs hometown to register for the census, Bethlehem was buzzing with people crowding the city streets. Angels hastened down to earth to a shepherds field  Shepherds hastened off to see Let's hear Luke's account... "An angel stood before them in the middle of the night..." (it seems babies love to come in the middle of the night) first blinding them with light and then more angels came and a   concert began ! Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, toward men.  Although Christmas is still a very busy time, not many seem to want to hear the account of...
