Joshua 6: 20: "So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city." | "The Prayer at Valley Forge" ********** II Timothy 2: 4: "No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier." Hebrews 11: 30: "By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days." Ezekiel 21: 27: "I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him." II Corinthians 10: 3-5: "For though we walk after the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ." Ephesians 6: 12: "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Judges 15: 14-17: "And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands. And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith. And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men. And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramath-lehi." ********** "Be reckless immediately, fling it all out on Him. You do not know when His voice will come, but whenever the realization of God comes in the faintest way imaginable, recklessly abandon. It is only by abandon that you recognize Him. You will only realize His voice more clearly by recklessness." --Oswald Chambers
"I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go. My own wisdom and that of all about me seemed insufficient for the day." --Abraham Lincoln "I shall not live 'till I see God; and when I have seen him, I shall never die." --John Donne "The most important thought I ever had was that of my individual responsibility to God." --Daniel Webster
"The tests of life are to make, not break us. Trouble may demolish a man's business but build his character. The blow at the outward man may be the greatest blessing to the inner man. If God, then, puts or permits anything hard in our lives, be sure that the real peril, the real trouble, is what we shall lose if we flinch or rebel." --Maltbie D. Babcock "To the quiet mind all things are possible. What is a quiet mind? A quiet mind is one which nothing weighs on, nothing worries, which, free from ties and from all self-seeking, is wholly merged into the will of God and dead as to its own. Such an one can do no deed however small but it is clothed with something of God's power and authority." --Meister Eckhart
"Many men owe the grandeur of their lives to their trememdous difficulties." --Charles H. Spurgeon "The wisdom of this world is precious in the eye of the world; and the wisdom of God in His poor, weak, despised earthen vessels is still foolishness with them; but the Lord so orders it, that He still justifies his despised wisdom in his despised vessels, and makes the wisdom of the world appear foolish to all the single and uprighthearted, who thirst after and wait for the revelation of His truth." --Isaac Penington **********
| Dreams from the LORD 2003-2008 By Tim Shey In Dreams from the LORD, there are dreams concerning President George W. Bush; there is a LAS VEGAS EARTHQUAKE dream. I have had a dream about Senator John McCain and a dream about Governor Sarah Palin. The Lord has given me many dreams regarding my own life and other people's lives. I have also recorded writings from different authors that are relevant to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For most of twelve years, I have done much hitchhiking throughout the United States as a prayerwalker (intercessor). The Lord has taught me and revealed many things to me in my travels on the road. The key to intercession is the denial of self ("Take up your cross and follow Me") and obedience to the Lord. "High Plains Drifter" was published by Ethos in 1995. "A Prophet's Eyes" and "Shiloh" were published by Ethos in 1997. High Plains Drifter: A Hitchhiking Journey Across America was written in 2000. I began writing Dreams from the LORD in September of 2003. High Plains Drifter will be published by PublishAmerica in the near future (2009?). **********
"A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for." --William Shedd "Men return again and again to the few who have mastered the spiritual secret, whose life has been hid with Christ in God. These are of the old time religion, hung to the nails of the Cross." --Robert Murray McCheyne
"Have you noticed how much praying for revival has been going on of late and how little revival has resulted? I believe the problem is that we have been trying to substitute praying for obedience, and it simply will not work. To pray for revival while ignoring the plain precept laid down in Scriptures is to waste a lot of words and get nothing for our trouble. Prayer will become effective when we stop using it as a substitute for obedience." --A.W. Tozer "All God's revelations are sealed until they are opened to us by obedience. You will never get them open by philosophy or thinking. Immediately you obey, a flash of light comes. Let God's truth work in you by soaking in it, not by worrying into it. The only way you can get to know is to stop trying to find out and being born again. Obey God in the thing He shows you, and instantly the next thing is opened up. One reads tomes on the Holy Spirit, when one five minutes of drastic obedience would make things as clear as a sunbeam. 'I suppose I shall understand these things some day!' You can understand them now. It is not study that does it, but obedience. The tiniest fragment of obedience, and heaven opens and the profoundest truths of God are yours straight away. God will never reveal more truth about Himself until you have obeyed what you know already. Beware of becoming 'wise and prudent.'" --Oswald Chambers "Christianity is not a theory or speculation, but a life; not a philosophy of life, but a living presence." --Samuel Taylor Coleridge **********

********** "God loves you and has a difficult plan for your life." ". . . Suffering is our preparation for ministry in a world of suffering--all manner of suffering: from the trivial irritations of daily life to paralyzing accidents, from family squabbles to church splits, from the ravages of sexual slavery to the countless deaths of innocents at the hands of cruel dictators. This is not a world for shallow people with soft character. It needs tested, toughened disciples who are prepared, like their Lord, to descend into hell to redeem the lost. "This is part of what it means to become holy, to be refined by fire. Difficulties and sufferings are God's form of hazing. Sometimes it gets so hard, we think Him cruel. But He's only looking for men and women who will keep their cool when things go horribly wrong, a people prepared to dash into burning rooms to rescue those about to be engulfed in flames." --Mark Galli ********** Read about the future destruction of Las Vegas by an earthquake; go to the 17 December 2006 entry in Dreams from the LORD. ********** Jeremiah 51: 20: "Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms." |

********** Genesis 49: 8-12: "Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee. Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from beneath his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes: His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk." John 1-5: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not."
Hebrews 6: 1-3: "Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. And this will we do, if God permit." |
