Exodus 13:21, A Thousand Words Thursday #11

The great things we find on Tumblr.
A glimpse of what Exodus 13:21 may have resembled,


Exodus 13:21

And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:

Bless God for the image rendering capabilities used for Good. Our imagination exponentialized (yes, I just said "exponentialized.") Hehe.

Ugh

The worlds wisdom no longer makes sense to me, and the simple things no longer keep me. Are there any intellectuals? Are there any Spirit-driven folks? Anybody? The same old stuff I can learn on my own. Once we become elevated in the knowledge of Christ and all things holy, our mind takes on a shift. We are no longer stimulated by the things that used to entertain us. Some times now, they are even boring. To hear a pastor speak on milk is no longer appeasing. It is milk to us now. At the time it was meat. I need something higher than this thing that I've been seeing people talk about, on and on. Repetitive things. Extra things. I almost want to translate this into another language just to add some stimulation along the way. God, mercy, we need the Holy Spirit. O, O, O HOW DEEPLY I NEED YOU.

How do you encourage yourself?

The question is not, how do you keep on? Or, what do you have to live for, or why haven't you given up; because I know you're not going to give up. Why? Because you know too much. So. The question is, How do you encourage yourself?

I encourage myself by recounting the dreams and visions He has gave me. I encourage myself by remembering the events that occurred while I was considering the LORD. Like, the time I asked Him aloud how I could be close to Him-- my heart was distraught. I looked out my window that dark and quiet night, and saw one streak of lightning in the sky. I cried silently and went back to my room. And, the week I was anointed with the Holy Ghost. The audible voice of God that I heard that week. I said aloud, "Really?," asking God whenever I spoke aloud "to myself," was I really speaking to Him? and He answered through the voice of my sleeping Dad in the next room, "Yes, Really." I encourage myself because of the gift of tongues. Knowing that not all have been given this, and how earnestly we all want it deep down.

So again my question is.
How do you encourage yourself?

Keep me Father. Your strength is my own.

Your beloved,
Whitney

Visions of the Lord's Day

Good morning! I was GLAD when they said unto me, 'Let us Go into the house of the LORD!' How are you all this day? I made a vow to the tweets on Twitter that I would share online, the visions that the Lord gave me. This will be Good. This IS Good. This is Good because the Lord gave it to me and I feel so special that He did.

Here are the exact/very similar (in order to make it read well) words from my "dream journal," the very day that it happened. Please do not be put off too much by my use of the words "visions" and "dreams." I am not a prophetess (to my knowledge), but I am a woman of God. Who knows God and who hears from Him/can recognize His voice.

And these visions were so extravagant, and I was there. I felt like I was there. Like, smack-dab in the middle of it. Real-life "I was there." I am not well-versed in the terminology that saints use to describe "when they were IN the Spirit," so this is my best attempt to do so. God was able to develop the first dream/vision with me over time. Throughout my Bible studies with Him, I would be able to pick up on what related to the dream/vision and what was for that day.

Holiness and Snow-Capped Mountains


This photo made me think of "holiness." It's so lovely. Doesn't it look like holiness to you? ..If I had a vision of holiness, this would be it. The dainty and modest pink baby flowers in the fabric, the photo-locket which to me, represents the promises of God kept close. The single pearl. The gold eagle. The sweet key for the locket, and the pink flower emblem. Photo credit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hollythedolly/4598130487/



And, I'm in a winter-type of mood and switched my Summer bg over to this one, a snowy-ice capped mountain bg. This one kind of reminds me of the vision God gave me maybe one month ago. It was extravagant. High, snow-capped mountains, a very deep blue, with snow mounds just as high, clouds below, and me looking over! Three eagles were flying east, in a triangular shape, with one leading. It was extremely beautiful. I'll never forget that vision. It was so pleasant and hopeful. Great things in store.

Yesterday evening I was listening to Amy Grant's, "Count your Blessings" and I began to say aloud, "I am thankful for My God and my salvation." Today I am adding to the list, "My integrity and God's holiness."


Bless You Jesus,
Whitney
