  • Walking Toward the Moon

    She walks on snow-soft earth,
    wrapped in songs of ancestors,
    her steps echo like prayers,
    her silence heavy with longing.

    The moon waits in stillness,
    a guardian of hidden hearts,
    Its light touches her spirit,
    like a hand across generations.

    She carries stories untold,
    woven with rivers and winds,
    dreams of comfort and kin,
    rising with every breath.

    “O moon, hear my soul,”
    she whispers through the night,
    “Be the one who listens,
    when the earth grows quiet.”

  • Matthew
    Chapter 8

    1 When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.

    2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

    3 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

    4 And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

    5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,

    6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.

    7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

    8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.

    9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

    10 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

    11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.

    12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

    13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.

    14 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.

    15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.

    16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:

    17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

    18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side.

    19 And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

    20 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

    21 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

    22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.

    23 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.

    24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.

    25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.

    26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

    27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

    28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.

    29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

    30 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.

    31 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.

    32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.

    33 And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils.

    34 And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts.

  • Matthew
    Chapter 7

    1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

    2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

    3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

    4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

    5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

    6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

    7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

    8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

    9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

    10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

    11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

    12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

    13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

    14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

    15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

    16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

    17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

    18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

    19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

    20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

    21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

    22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

    23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

    24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

    25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

    26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

    27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

    28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

    29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
    Matthew Chapter 7 1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. 6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. 7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? 12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. 13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits.

  • Harmony in Three

    The bond between sisters is more than blood—
    It’s a glance that understands without words,
    A hand reaching out when storms roll in,
    A shared warmth in the coldest nights.

    Sisters are songs sung deep within the heart,
    Whispers of protection in a world that forgets to be kind.
    When one falls, the other doesn't ask why—
    She simply sits beside her,
    Waiting quietly for strength to return.

    They grow together,
    Sharing scars and small dreams,
    Lighting hope in one another
    And learning to be strong without losing softness.

    Some love has no name—
    The love between sisters is one of those things.
    Like wind and wing,
    Like soil and root,
    Wherever they are, they are woven together.

    For a woman's heart knows how to hold,
    And sisterhood—
    Is the thread that never breaks.

  • Voices in the Fire Sky

    Two figures stand where the firewinds rise,
    Wrapped in the dawn of crimson skies.
    Feathers crown their shadowed hair,
    Whispers of ancestors linger there.

    The mountains glow with sacred flame,
    Each spark a spirit, each star a name.
    Their cloaks hold songs of woven thread,
    Stories of the living, prayers for the dead.

    They walk the path where earth meets light,
    Guided by visions through endless night.
    O children, remember when embers fly—
    Our people still walk in the painted sky.

  • Brethren, don’t let a dry spell discourage you. Have you been toiling but not seeing fruit? It may be that the Lord is simply holding back for a time in order to provide a windfall.

    This may be in witnessing. It may be in other areas. Do not be distracted by the things of this world (1 Jn. 2:15-16). And continue to be “steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord” (1 Cor. 15:58).

    Listen for the Lord to tell you when and where to let down your net, and it will end up full beyond its capacity. Remember, our salvation, and our fruit is not dependent upon our work, but upon Him who give grace to the one who believes.

    Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Devotions

    Morning, October 8

    "Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught." Luke 5:4

    We learn from this narrative, the necessity of human agency. The draught of fishes was miraculous, yet neither the fisherman nor his boat, nor his fishing tackle were ignored; but all were used to take the fishes. So in the saving of souls, God worketh by means; and while the present economy of grace shall stand, God will be pleased by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. When God worketh without instruments, doubtless He is glorified; but He hath Himself selected the plan of instrumentality as being that by which He is most magnified in the earth. Means of themselves are utterly unavailing. "Master, we have toiled all the night and have taken nothing." What was the reason of this? Were they not fishermen plying their special calling? Verily, they were no raw hands; they understood the work. Had they gone about the toil unskillfully? No. Had they lacked industry? No, they had toiled. Had they lacked perseverance? No, they had toiled all the night. Was there a deficiency of fish in the sea? Certainly not, for as soon as the Master came, they swam to the net in shoals. What, then, is the reason? Is it because there is no power in the means of themselves apart from the presence of Jesus? "Without Him we can do nothing." But with Christ we can do all things. Christ's presence confers success. Jesus sat in Peter's boat, and His will, by a mysterious influence, drew the fish to the net. When Jesus is lifted up in His Church, His presence is the Church's power- the shout of a king is in the midst of her. "I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto me." Let us go out this morning on our work of soul fishing, looking up in faith, and around us in solemn anxiety. Let us toil till night comes, and we shall not labour in vain, for He who bids us let down the net, will fill it with fishes.

  • Psalms
    Chapter 131

    1 (A Song of degrees of David.) LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.

    2 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.

    3 Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.




    Psalms
    Chapter 132

    1 A Song of degrees. LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions:

    2 How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;

    3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;

    4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,

    5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.

    6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.

    7 We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.

    8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.

    9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.

    10 For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.

    11 The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

    12 If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.

    13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.

    14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

    15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.

    16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

    17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.

    18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.





    Psalms
    Chapter 133

    1 (A Song of degrees of David.) Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

    2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;

    3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.





    Psalms
    Chapter 134

    1 (A Song of degrees.) Behold, bless ye the LORD, all ye servants of the LORD, which by night stand in the house of the LORD.

    2 Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD.

    3 The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion.





    Psalms
    Chapter 135

    1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise him, O ye servants of the LORD.

    2 Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God,

    3 Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.

    4 For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.

    5 For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.

    6 Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.

    7 He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.

    8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.

    9 Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.

    10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;

    11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:

    12 And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.

    13 Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.

    14 For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.

    15 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

    16 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;

    17 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.

    18 They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.

    19 Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron:

    20 Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD.

    21 Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.

  • Believer, there will come a day when “the stars of heaven and their constellations will not flash forth their light; the sun will be dark when it rises and the moon will not shed its light” (Isa. 13:10). This is the day of the Lord, when He returns in anger to “punish the world for its evil and the wicked for their iniquity” (Isa. 13:11). What an interesting picture that those who walk in darkness now will be in literal darkness then.

    Yet we are told that after, we will have no need of these celestial bodies to provide us light. There “will no longer be any night” and we “will not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illumine” us (Rev. 22:5). What glorious imagery! At that time, we will reign with Him forever (Rev. 4:5)!

    Zechariah paints a similar picture, when he tells us, “In that day there will be no light; the luminaries will dwindle. For it will be a unique day which is known to the LORD, neither day nor night, but it will come about that at evening time there will be light” (Zech. 14:6-7).

    We have a blessed future on which we focus and in which we have our hope. For we will be united with Him in glory, and be with Him forever. Let us make this our focus, as we keep in our minds that in that time of darkness, “at evening time there will be light.”

    "At evening time it shall be light." Zechariah 14:7

    Oftentimes we look forward with forebodings to the time of old age, forgetful that at eventide it shall be light. To many saints, old age is the choicest season in their lives. A balmier air fans the mariner's cheek as he nears the shore of immortality, fewer waves ruffle his sea, quiet reigns, deep, still and solemn. From the altar of age the flashes of the fire of youth are gone, but the more real flame of earnest feeling remains. The pilgrims have reached the land Beulah, that happy country, whose days are as the days of heaven upon earth. Angels visit it, celestial gales blow over it, flowers of paradise grow in it, and the air is filled with seraphic music. Some dwell here for years, and others come to it but a few hours before their departure, but it is an Eden on earth. We may well long for the time when we shall recline in its shady groves and be satisfied with hope until the time of fruition comes. The setting sun seems larger than when aloft in the sky, and a splendour of glory tinges all the clouds which surround his going down. Pain breaks not the calm of the sweet twilight of age, for strength made perfect in weakness bears up with patience under it all. Ripe fruits of choice experience are gathered as the rare repast of life's evening, and the soul prepares itself for rest.
    The Lord's people shall also enjoy light in the hour of death. Unbelief laments; the shadows fall, the night is coming, existence is ending. Ah no, crieth faith, the night is far spent, the true day is at hand. Light is come, the light of immortality, the light of a Father's countenance. Gather up thy feet in the bed, see the waiting bands of spirits! Angels waft thee away. Farewell, beloved one, thou art gone, thou wavest thine hand. Ah, now it is light. The pearly gates are open, the golden streets shine in the jasper light. We cover our eyes, but thou beholdest the unseen; adieu, brother, thou hast light at even-tide, such as we have not yet.

  • Colors of Her Spirit

    In every fold of her flowing dress,
    The past and future intertwine.
    Threads of crimson, sapphire, and gold
    Whisper stories only the soul can hear.

    She dances,
    feet kissing the earth,
    hands reaching for the sky,
    bridging the worlds of ancestors and dreams.

    Each color blooms like fire and dawn,
    a living testament of resilience,
    a heartbeat woven in cloth and courage.

    As doves rise to meet the sun,
    her spirit soars beyond the horizon,
    painting freedom across the wind—
    a masterpiece of hope,
    crafted in the colors of her spirit.

  • Christian, do you struggle with temptation? You are not alone. Christ also was tempted in what He suffered, so He is able to come to your aid (Heb. 2:18).

    The beauty of our relationship with our dear Savior lies in His experiential understanding of our condition. “For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin” (Heb. 4:15). Because of this, we are able to draw near to God’s throne so we can receive mercy and grace when we are weak (Heb. 4:16).

    He knows our struggle. And God will not allow us to be tempted beyond what we are able to handle, nor will He leave us with no escape (1 Cor. 10:13).

    Our strength lies in Him and the armor He provides us. Want to be able to “withstand all the fiery darts of the wicked?” Take up your shield of faith (Eph. 6:16).

    Whatever your circumstance, “humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you” (1 Pet. 5:6-7).

    "He Himself hath suffered being tempted." Hebrews 2:18

    It is a common-place thought, and yet it tastes like nectar to the weary heart- Jesus I was tempted as I am. You have heard that truth many times: have you grasped it? He was tempted to the very same sins into which we fall. Do not dissociate Jesus from our common manhood. It is a dark room which you are going through, but Jesus went through it before. It is a sharp fight which you are waging, but Jesus has stood foot to foot with the same enemy. Let us be of good cheer, Christ has borne the load before us, and the blood-stained footsteps of the King of glory may be seen along the road which we traverse at this hour. There is something sweeter yet- Jesus was tempted, but Jesus never sinned. Then, my soul, it is not needful for thee to sin, for Jesus was a man, and if one man endured these temptations and sinned not, then in His power His members may also cease from sin. Some beginners in the divine life think that they cannot be tempted without sinning, but they mistake; there is no sin in being tempted, but there is sin in yielding to temptation. Herein is comfort for the sorely tempted ones. There is still more to encourage them if they reflect that the Lord Jesus, though tempted, gloriously triumphed, and as He overcame, so surely shall His followers also, for Jesus is the representative man for His people; the Head has triumphed, and the members share in the victory. Fears are needless, for Christ is with us, armed for our defence. Our place of safety is the bosom of the Saviour. Perhaps we are tempted just now, in order to drive us nearer to Him. Blessed be any wind that blows us into the port of our Saviour's love! Happy wounds, which make us seek the beloved Physician. Ye tempted ones, come to your tempted Saviour, for He can be touched with a feeling of your infirmities, and will succour every tried and tempted one.

  • Spirit of Stillness

    In the quiet fold of the earth,
    she stands—
    not moving, yet moving the world.
    The wind leans in to listen,
    The grass bends as if in prayer.

    Her gaze is a horizon,
    endless and unbroken.
    It holds the patience of stone,
    and the tenderness of rain.

    She does not chase the moment—
    she becomes it,
    letting silence bloom around her
    like wildflowers after snow.

    And in that stillness,
    you feel it—
    the pulse of a spirit
    too vast to be held
    and too gentle to break.

  • The Journey Beyond the Horizon

    Beneath the silent moon,
    three riders move as one—
    shadows of fire,
    shadows of dawn,
    shadows of dreams not yet broken.

    Their horses breathe the wind.
    hooves striking sparks
    on the path of ancient spirits,
    each step echoing the songs
    of ancestors watching from the stars.

    Beyond the horizon lies the unknown.
    But they do not fear it.
    Their cloaks ripple like wings.
    Their hearts are drums
    beating with the earth’s eternal rhythm.

    For they are seekers,
    warriors of hope,
    riders of freedom,
    carrying the stories of their people
    into a future yet unwritten.

  • Psalms
    Chapter 107

    1 O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

    2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

    3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.

    4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.

    5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.

    6 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.

    7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

    8 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

    9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

    10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;

    11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:

    12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.

    13 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.

    14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.

    15 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

    16 For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.

    17 Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

    18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.

    19 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.

    20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

    21 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

    22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.

    23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;

    24 These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.

    25 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.

    26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.

    27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end.

    28 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.

    29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.

    30 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

    31 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

    32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.

    33 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;

    34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

    35 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.

    36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;

    37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.

    38 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

    39 Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.

    40 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.

    41 Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.

    42 The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

    43 Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.
    Psalms Chapter 107 1 O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. 2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; 3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south. 4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in. 5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. 6 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses. 7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation. 8 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! 9 For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness. 10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron; 11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High: 12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help. 13 Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. 14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder. 15 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! 16 For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder. 17 Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. 18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death. 19 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. 20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. 21 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! 22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing. 23 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; 24 These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep. 25 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. 26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. 27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end. 28 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. 29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. 30 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven. 31 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! 32 Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders. 33 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground; 34 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. 35 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings. 36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation; 37 And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase. 38 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease. 39 Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow. 40 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way. 41 Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock. 42 The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth. 43 Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.

    On March 23, 2012, Kim Clement released a prophetic word about a turning point in America. He described a moment of prophetic blindness—then suddenly, light began to break through. Out of the bitter would come something sweet. That night, Kim tasted a word that began bitter but turned to honey. He prophesied of: • Corruption being exposed • A sudden move from Russia • A call for God’s people to rise as watchmen for Israel and America This was more than a warning—it was a reminder that even in the darkest moments, God is working behind the scenes. What was revealed in 2012 still carries weight for us today.

    Today, we’re going back to one of the most intense prophetic moments of my dad’s ministry, recorded on August 26, 1997 in Detroit. That night, he declared that God was raising up a generation of “warriors of the new millennium.” Caught up in the Spirit, my dad spoke of demonic powers being silenced by the worship and war cries of God’s people. He prophesied that Detroit would become a voice to America and beyond, carrying a new sound of victory that would ignite the church with fresh fire. This wasn’t just encouragement. It was a divine commissioning — a call to warfare, worship, and unwavering faith. A call that still speaks today.

  • The Girl of the Sacred Forest

    From the depths of the sacred woods,
    Where the whispers of the ancients breathe,
    She steps with the grace of the wind,
    Her feathers glowing in the moon's light,
    A spirit born from the soil of the earth,
    Her soul, a dance of flames and light.

    Her eyes reflect the stars above,
    Her heart beats to the rhythm of the land,
    She is the fire that burns within the trees,
    A force of nature, wild and free.
    In the silence of the night,
    Her spirit sings of ancient times,
    A song of strength, of life, of love,
    From the sacred forest, she arrives.

  • Echoes of the Earth

    She dreams of lands untouched by time.
    Where mountains rise like silent guardians,
    And the winds carry whispers of her ancestors.
    A place where the earth hums with life, untouched.

    She feels the weight of this world.
    It's noise and chaos, heavy on her heart.
    But in the quiet, a longing stirs.
    To let go, to be free, to return to where she belongs.

    Back to the soil, to the sacred ground,
    Where the rivers know her name,
    Where the stars speak softly,
    And her spirit is cradled by the hands of those before her.

    In the dance of the firelight,
    She sees their faces, their wisdom,
    And in her soul, a quiet call—
    To leave behind the present and vanish into the past.

  • Believer, are you as the myrtle planted in the valley, standing strong, restig=ng in the security provided by our God who planted you there? God says, “the myrtle will come up, and it will be a memorial to the Lord, for an everlasting sign which will not be cut off” (Isa. 55:13).

    Praise the Lord! Not only has He planted and raised us, but we shall never be cut off!

    Not only this, but the Lord stands among us and preserves us in peace (Zech. 1:10-11). He fights our enemies for us and has compassion on us. Eventually, He will return visibly and restore all things. Then we shall dwell with Him forever.

    While we await Him, let us be as the myrtle, evergreen, always exhibiting life in Him, and bearing much fruit.

    ——————
    Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Devotions

    Morning, September 26

    "The myrtle trees that were in the bottom." Zechariah 1:8

    The vision in this chapter describes the condition of Israel in Zechariah's day; but being interpreted in its aspect towards us, it describes the Church of God as we find it now in the world. The Church is compared to a myrtle grove flourishing in a valley. It is hidden, unobserved, secreted; courting no honour and attracting no observation from the careless gazer. The Church, like her head, has a glory, but it is concealed from carnal eyes, for the time of her breaking forth in all her splendour is not yet come. The idea of tranquil security is also suggested to us: for the myrtle grove in the valley is still and calm, while the storm sweeps over the mountain summits. Tempests spend their force upon the craggy peaks of the Alps, but down yonder where flows the stream which maketh glad the city of our God, the myrtles flourish by the still waters, all unshaken by the impetuous wind. How great is the inward tranquility of God's Church! Even when opposed and persecuted, she has a peace which the world gives not, and which, therefore, it cannot take away: the peace of God which passeth all understanding keeps the hearts and minds of God's people. Does not the metaphor forcibly picture the peaceful, perpetual growth of the saints? The myrtle sheds not her leaves, she is always green; and the Church in her worst time still hath a blessed verdure of grace about her; nay, she has sometimes exhibited most verdure when her winter has been sharpest. She has prospered most when her adversities have been most severe. Hence the text hints at victory. The myrtle is the emblem of peace, and a significant token of triumph. The brows of conquerors were bound with myrtle and with laurel; and is not the Church ever victorious? Is not every Christian more than a conqueror through Him that loved him? Living in peace, do not the saints fall asleep in the arms of victory?

  • Do Not Fear, Brother Bear

    Do not fear.
    Brother of the Forest,
    Your breath is the breath of mountains.
    Your heart beats with the rivers.

    I kneel before you.
    palms open to the moon,
    to say:
    You are not alone.

    When storms rise
    and the sky cracks with thunder,
    I will walk beside you.
    When silence falls
    and the night softens,
    My spirit will rest near yours.

    Do not fear the world’s sharp winds—
    My song will be your shelter.
    my fire, your warmth.

    Whether in shadow
    or in sunlight’s gentle hands,
    We are bound—
    two spirits,
    one promise:
    I will be here.

    Velin Rael

    On August 23, 1997, Kim Clement released a prophetic word that still speaks today: Destiny is already in your heart—waiting for God’s voice to call it forth. Kim taught from the story of Saul, reminding us that while Saul was searching for his father’s lost donkeys, God was preparing to reveal his true identity as the commander of Israel. In the same way, we often become so focused on our present problems—our finances, our struggles, our insecurities—that we lose sight of the greater destiny God has already placed within us. Through the prophetic, Kim declared: God does not see you in your weakness, but in your destined state. Like Gideon, Moses, Joseph, and David, God calls us what we are becoming, not what we feel we are now. The voice of God is Satan’s worst nightmare—breaking boundaries, lifting vision, and transforming ordinary men and women into world-changers. This message is more than encouragement—it is a prophetic call to discover your true identity in Christ. When you align with your destiny, the “donkeys” (your present problems) will take care of themselves, and God will reveal the greater future He designed for you.
