Inscription for a Garden Gate 

Pause, friend, and read before you enter here

This vine clad wall encloses holy ground.

Herein a mellowed garden dreams away the years.

Steeped in serene, sweet light and muted sound.

Here tranquility and peace abide,

For God walks here at cool of evening-tide.

Pause, friend, and strip from out your heart

All vanity, all bitterness, all hate.

Quench, for this hour, the fever of your fears.

Then, treading softly, pass within this gate

There, where the ancient trees wait, hushed and dim,

May you find God, and walk a while with Him.

Albert Einstein was once asked how he discovered the Theory Of Relativity. He said “ I didn’t discover it. I was listening to music and the whole thing dropped in.”

To be angry is to revenge the faults of others on ourselves.

Alexander Pope

Ecclesiastes 7:9

"Be not hasty in your spirit to be offended; for resentment abides in the bosom of fools!"

The way of the Creative works through change and transformation, so that each thing receives its true nature and destiny and comes into permanent accord with the Great Harmony: this is what furthers and what perseveres.

“Feeling Spiritually Attacked Lately?”

by Lonnie Mackley November 7th, 2014

I just felt led to encourage some of you who have been feeling especially spiritually attacked lately more than usual. You see, I believe that the Lord has been allowing us to have our spiritual warfare skills upgraded lately just before this outpouring of His power comes in order to strengthen and help us to stand when it does come. So that may be why these spiritual sparring-partners have surfaced.
So, some of you have been getting hammered lately especially by the evil spirits of Jezebel, mind control, witchcraft, physical attacks, confusion, fear, torment; and a number of other spirits; and by the people cooperating with those spirits. It’s meant to intimidate and oppress you to your breaking point in order to get you discouraged and angry at the Lord; but this can actually work in your favor.
Most of us have had unhealed areas of fear and distrust toward the Lord because of bad things that have happened to us where a root of fear began to grow, rather than faith. So in order to deliver you of this fear and to get you to stop trying to control things in the flesh in order to protect yourself, God is allowing you to face your fears and to fight with His Spirit and Word in order to finally overcome it.
This warfare can help us by getting us to fully repent and to start seeking God with all of our hearts. The keys to fighting back are; worship, full and complete repentance (no more mixture), praying in the Spirit, rebuking and binding up these spirits, and also by praying for your oppressors instead of trying to fight them in the flesh. Jesus has given us His authority, so fight and deliverance will come!
^{LK 10: 19} I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.

In your walk with Me you have experienced different
levels of frustration. Sometimes this has been very
hard for you as you have kept going even when you have
not been able to see clearly or did not have a vision
for what is ahead. This I have done to test your
faith to see if you will trust Me above all else. I am
omnipresent and all knowing, I knew you before you
were formed, and I will complete the work I began.
My ways are not your ways. Therefore, as you have
called out to Me I have answered you. I have placed
within you a deep longing after Me. When you feel like
you are losing everything and you still choose to
follow Me, you will find life. Only by taking up your
cross and following Me will you gain My fullness. Your
trust must not even be in your own understanding, but
rather you must lay down your own agenda and let My
Spirit fill you with fresh revelation and a deep
understanding, for the days ahead are being shortened!
I always look to the heart and I see the seed that I
planted in you. I am now calling it forth. My greatest
delight is when I can see you come into your whole
purpose that I created you for. This is when I see Me
in you, and you in Me.
Use every chance you have to know Me and to let Me
lead you by My Spirit. Your reward will be great, as
the time is drawing near for My return.
Matthew 16:24-28
24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone
desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and
take up his cross, and follow Me. 25 For whoever
desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever
loses his life for My sake will find it. 26 For what
profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and
loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in
exchange for his soul? 27 For the Son of Man will come
in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then
He will reward each according to his works. 28
“Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here
who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man
coming in His kingdom.”
Revelation 22:12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and
My reward is with Me, to give to every one according
to his work."

Much love and grace
