This blog was inspired by Hank Williams Jr., Whose lyrics begin with, “The preacher man says it’s the end of time.” Those words were written over 40 years ago. If you are a Christian, messianic/ Torah believer, I’m glad you’re here. I desire to simplify the Word without holding back deeper truths. Around 15 years... Continue Reading →
To be low. To sink. To bow lowly. To be humbled. We mostly think in our innermost parts that we are good because of things we do and don’t do. Things we think and don’t think upon. How we see. How we hear. But none of us escape being toxic, bitter, angry, demanding, self-seeking, etc.... Continue Reading →
About a year ago, I felt in my spirit that the Father was raising up prophets like Amos. I’ve pondered this much, but the message hit me again this week as Oliver Anthony broke the internet with his song Rich Men North of Richmond( revelations 3:17). The music was raw, and he added a few... Continue Reading →
Like fire in my bones, I have to get the messages out, He gives me: Yesterday, my husband and I made a short video on the apostle Paul in prison. The video had no bells or whistles, but the message is still on my heart today. Appease me for a moment. When we read Paul's... Continue Reading →

The Know it All, is Part I of a series dealing with introspection. During this series, I want to discuss issues we all deal with due to places of the heart that are not whole, low self-worth, and defensiveness. All of us have issues. When reading this series, you might think of someone in your... Continue Reading →
A contemplative song of Tekoa: Who has been there for me? You, oh King of righteousness. Who has seen and counted my tears? You, oh, compassionate One. Who has held me in the night and strengthened my bones? Who has known my heart of sorrow and sent a newborn fawn--when the morning birds sang louder... Continue Reading →
Photo by Pro Church Media on Unsplash Anger and offenses can be settled and healed, but the Book of Proverbs states, "who can stand before jealousy?" "Wrath is cruel and anger is overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy?" (Proverbs 27:4, TLV). "A tranquil heart is life to the body, but envy is rottenness to... Continue Reading →
One of the things I enjoy is music. I know some people do not like secular music. Others stick to one genre, but I love many different types of music. The following song is a favorite: I was born by the river, in a little tent Oh, and just like the river I've been... Continue Reading →
Our emotions can take over. The Bee Gee's had a hit song called Emotions. One part of the lyrics says, "In the words of a broken heart It's just emotion that's taken me over Tied up in sorrow, lost in my soul." The song is about a lover that has left. The psalmist is overcome... Continue Reading →
In this blog we will look at the Role of the prophet as a Seer and how night goggles and hearing aids help equip the prophets when we need peripheral vision. Part I HERE. “The prophet is human, yet he employs notes one octave too high for our ears. He experiences moments that defy our... Continue Reading →
Part I HERE “And he was there in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by the Adversary, and he was with the beasts, and the messengers were ministering to him.” (Mark 1:13). Angels and beasts. In every trial, there are angels and beasts. Demonic strongholds and divine messengers. The Messiah comes out of the wilderness... Continue Reading →
"Now Aaron's sons Nadab and Abihu each took his own censer, put fire in it, laid incense over it, and offered unauthorized fire before Adonai—which He had not commanded them. So fire came out from the presence of Adonai and consumed them. So they died before Adonai" (Leviticus 10:1-2, TLV). This week while meditating on Nadab and Abihu, I... Continue Reading →
The prophet has an assignment just as the teacher has an assignment, just as a missionary has an assignment. The assignment isn’t to predict the next President, and although the prophet may be endowed with interpretation ability of dreams, that’s not the prophet's primary assignment. It’s not to give “A prophetic Word of the... Continue Reading →
The world makes me sad at times. Our sins make a noise, and the noise can drown out the beauty of the songbirds. In Genesis 18:21, we learn that the Father says He will see if the sound He is hearing is a bad as it cries. "I will go down and see if... Continue Reading →
Part I HERE The prophet is in high regard when someone requires keen vision, hearing, and unraveling riddles then quickly forgotten until the loss of a donkey, or when the results or outcome of a battle is needed. The prophet wrestles at night and walks with a limp during the day. The Prophet dies... Continue Reading →
Part II HERE To those who have wondered if they are a prophet, and to those who know with certainty, I have penned this message. To those who have no rough garments, this message may not be one for you, but it may be for your spouse, sibling, child, or friend. Parts of it may... Continue Reading →
I found the poem at the end of this blog in an old email or note box on my phone. It was jotted down in September of 2019, and it's a beach poem I wrote while visiting Florida. Now we are here. So strange to read it and remember the journey of how it happened.... Continue Reading →
When I was a child, my parents used to take my siblings and me to a lake in Indiana called Deam Lake. Out in the lake was a concrete structure that housed diving boards and seats for lifeguards with mega horns and whistles. One year, my brother and I discovered that we could swim...

We are coming into the season of trees (Tu B’shevat) and looking at fruit. We go to the grocery, and we squeeze and inspect avocadoes before we buy them. How often do we look at our tree and our fruit? I was at the beach a bit ago, and a beautiful lady was walking... Continue Reading →
Vayechi “He Lived.” “So Israel set out with all that he had, and when he came to Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to the God of his father, Isaac. And that night God spoke to Israel in a vision: “Jacob, Jacob!” He said. “Here I am,” replied Jacob. “I am God,” He said, “the God... Continue Reading →
Part One HERE The Seer, Sees. Suddenly, Joseph loses control. Over 20 years of emotions locked up inside of his soul now bursting to be released. “Send everyone away from me!” The room filled with servants and guardsmen hurrying to leave. A hush falls over the air. The sons of Israel wonder what will become... Continue Reading →
The Number 5 and the Story of Joseph go hand in hand: Last week, we learned that Joseph was hated and then due to his dreams, he was hated more. The Bible says that his brothers hated him and could not speak a kind word to him, and they were jealous of him. How... Continue Reading →
“People who carry torches make easy targets”—Ron Warren. And Yisra’ĕl (Israel) said to Yosĕph (Joseph), “Are not your brothers feeding the flock in Sheḵem? Come, I send you to them.” So he said to him, “Here I am.” (Genesis 27:11-13, ISR). Here I am. Send Me! Hineni is a total readiness to give of... Continue Reading →
When I became terribly sick with what one neurologist said was multiple sclerosis, I had many questions as to why. Several possible reasons flooded my mind. One was a doctrine I had been taught in church concerning “generational curses.” I was upset about this and wondered how to break such a curse. I prayed with... Continue Reading →

Lekh Lekha means “Go” or “Go find yourself.” Abram and Sari set out, leaving everything familiar, including their families. My husband and I found ourselves in the same position at the exact time. While sitting outside our hotel last week, I saw a sight that caught my attention. Two men in their late 30’s dressed... Continue Reading →
“What is a tradition? Webster defines it as: an inherited, established, or customary pattern of thought, action, or behavior (such as a religious practice or a social custom) How many traditions do we read our Messiah keeping? Several, but what happens when we begin to use the traditions as a tool for control or even... Continue Reading →
What is a tradition? Webster's dictionary defines it as an inherited, established, or customary pattern of thought, action, or behavior (such as a religious practice or a social custom). How many traditions do we see our Messiah keeping? Plenty, but what happens when we begin to use the traditions as a tool for control or even... Continue Reading →
We have five senses: sight, touch, taste, smell, and hearing. Moses died at 120, but we read that his vision was not dim. (Duet. 34:7). There are so many stories about eyes in the Bible that it would be hard to cover them. We would have to begin with the first chapter of Genesis... Continue Reading →
One of my mother’s favorite movies was Gone With the Wind. We watched it every year growing up, and I can almost recite the whole four-hour film verbatim. At one point in the movie, Scarlett sees that the one she is smitten with, Ashley, is to marry another. As war breaks out, she marries Mr.... Continue Reading →
There is nothing worse than a dead tree. Dead trees attract pests and termites. Dead trees carry disease that spreads to other trees. Dead trees may fall and cause damage, but what about dead hands? Withered hands? It has been a while since I have written about the 5-fold structure mentioned in the Torah and... Continue Reading →
Although words like Trump, Donald, and Mar-a-Lago will be in this blog, it is not a political post and has nothing much to do with the Donald. The other day, I decided to go to an opposite news source, CNN via YouTube. As I was comparing headlines, one caught my attention. The video was... Continue Reading →
Photo by Samson Katt on Pexels.com My grandparents gathered in one-roomed buildings of their communities to sing hymns, pray and read the Bible every Sunday. They called the Messiah by the name Jesus. They knew nothing of the 7th day Sabbath. My grandparents and parents had no knowledge of a Mikvah but went humbly down... Continue Reading →
Have you ever wondered how all the graves will open? Not when, but how? Will we come up out of the sea—the earth—an urn? Even the people who sharks have eaten? The graves will open on "that day." Bodies shipwrecked at sea—bodies waiting in pine boxes under the earth—and ash remains tucked inside urns will... Continue Reading →
See video at end of blog: The military has many cadences that are sung during marching. When I was a younger girl around five or six years old, we sang a song in my Sunday School class called "I'm in the Lord's Army." Here are the beginning of the lyrics: "I may never march in... Continue Reading →

When my children were small, we rented a humble house in a subdivision. One night, one of my sons knocked a lamp over that had no shade, and it fell on the comforter. The lightbulb smoldered and caught fire. I awoke in the wee hours of the morning to the scent of smoke and was... Continue Reading →
During the 1960s and '70s, a show aired titled Bewitched. The show was about a married couple. Darrin is a mortal human; his wife, Samantha, is a witch with powers. She does not divulge to him about her witchcraft until their honeymoon night. At this point, she has already enticed him. Today witchcraft has become... Continue Reading →
The School of the Prophet, and the Anointing: I remember the day I lost my coat, or rather, had it taken from me. Like Joseph, I was falsely accused and ran from the ministry. It was all part of the Father’s plan. About a year later, my husband would also retire from his position... Continue Reading →
Photo by Quino Al on Unsplash If you were a God who wanted to wake people up, who would you send to do that job? John came as a voice. John was a High Priest and a prophet. Humble servants, teachers, and ministers of His Word are not just born equipped. They are thrown on... Continue Reading →

What is a Nathan calling/ anointing, and what would it look like for today? Nathan had a specific, distinctive, prophetic anointing. The Nathan type anointing has the ability to expose leadership, pride, coldness, rebellion, and lead the body and those in leadership to repentance. It opens the eyes of the people who have lost their... Continue Reading →
So far, during this blog series, I have taught without becoming too personal. This blog will be different.

The aged man named Joshua stepped carefully to the first oven with his ancient tools. He wore steel-toed boots and protective glasses. He knows that synthetic garments cannot be worn here because anything made of false fibers will melt. The heat from the oven warmed his face as he continued spinning the metal rod in...

Stones were more than likely the weapon of choice in the beginning. Cain murders his brother, Abel. Abel's blood cries out from the ground, along with the blood of many more. We read of those angry at the words of Yeshua and they too pick up stones to cast at the Chief cornerstone. "Truly, truly,... Continue Reading →
"And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion; and, behold, there was a nest of bees (adas devorim) and honey in the carcass of the lion."

Leadership and Bare Buttocks “Hine Ma Tov” What could a disturbing story in II Samuel have to do with a Psalm on unity? One has oil dripping down the beard and covering the skirts of Aaron; the other has skirts cut to bare David's servant's nakedness. The king's servants had their beards shaved half off...

This week I want you to meditate on what it would be like not to use your thumbs for a day ( try it) or possibly be deaf to sound. Shove cotton balls in your ears if you must. Picture being led by someone because you’ve lost your vision. Think of a time when you... Continue Reading →
