  • Fruitful and Beautiful!

    Fruitful and Beautiful!

    “Good morning Lord. I love you.” “Good morning sweetheart! It is going to be a fruitful and beautiful day!” “Amen, hallelujah! Well then, lead me on Lord, let’s get to work!” He smiles and laughs and we walk deeper into the Garden.

    It really has been a fruitful and a beautiful day. I am so glad I have followed the Master Gardeners plan for this time and day. He always has surprises waiting.

    Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

  • You are in Ignorance!

    You are in Ignorance!

    I am helped on with the robe of humility, as I prepare and quiet my soul. I enquire what I should bring. I bring him a song: “My beloved is the most beautiful…Yeshua…, good Morning Lord!” “What is on your heart today?” “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.” “Yes Lord!” “Lord I need help with boundaries. I need wisdom. I desire to offer you sweet mature fruit. I lay down the fear and I will be patient. Will you help me? This is such a tender place Lord. Am I missing something or in ignorance or disobedience?” “Yes, Krista, you are in ignorance, and it would lead to disobedience if left alone.” “Will you tell and or show me what I need to know?” “Yes, but will you believe me and obey me?” “Yes, however, I know I need your help to see and believe and obey. Please, will you help me?” “Yes, now pray.” “Holy Spirit guide me and help in prayer.”

    Deuteronomy 4:30-31 When you are in distress, and all these things come upon you in the later days, when you turn to the LORD your God and obey His voice (for the LORD your God is a merciful God), He will not forsake you nor destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which He swore to them.

  • Gripped with Obedience!

    Gripped with Obedience!

    The Holy Spirit is preparing me to go into the Center of My Garden and meet with the Master Gardener. “Lord, good morning,” I smile and I joyfully hand him the lily bouquet the Holy Spirt provided me with. “Thank you my love,” and he takes in the fragrance of the flowers. He caresses my face with his hand and I close my eyes and am undone. We drink of love. We then begin to walk and talk.

    1 John 2:10 He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.

    Ezekiel 23 is what I had been lead to today. God is addressing His beloved people. Ezekiel 23:4 Their names: Oholah the elder and Oholibah her sister; They were Mine, And they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem is Oholibah. It goes on to tell of their betrayal and great harlotry toward him. He exposes them individually. He then says they will be given over into the hands of their lovers who will be cruel. Verse 24 says: And they shall come against you with chariots, wagons, and war horses, with a horde of people. They shall array against you buckler, shield and helmet all around. I will delegate judgement to them, and they shall judge you according to their judgements. It continues to explain just what they will do. Verse 35 “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Because you have forgotten Me and cast Me behind your back, Therefore you shall hear the penalty of your lewdness and your harlotry.” He talks about how they even sacrificed their sons to idols. You can read the entire chapter if you like.

    If before Christ came his people were brought to account for betraying him, what makes us think that now after Christ gave himself for us that he will not deal with us similar if we reject the Son. Yes He is very patient with us, waiting for us to turn fully to Him, but He will not wait forever. There are times and seasons set in order and we must choose. Today I have been gripped with obedience. That is what I which to give Him instead of treachery! Lord as you forgave and restored your people long ago, today as we turn to you, heal us and our land. Teach us to serve and fear you alone. How faithful and true you are. And what a wonderous job you do of restoration.

  • A God like You!

    A God like You!

    8/1/26 We are sitting in my garden talking Spirit to spirit, face to face.

    John 4:23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father is spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.

    8/2/26 “Good morning Lord, I love you so! What is on your heart today?” “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!” And I do!

    Psalm 5:11 But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love your name be joyful in You.

    8/3/26 “Good morning My King,” I bow. “Good morning daughter,” he smiles. He extends his sceptre toward me. I rise. How lovely you are oh Lord,” I sing. He truly is magnificent, glorious, beautiful, and I tell Him of this. My Lord, I do not know what to ask of you this morning. Will you tell me what you would like and search my heart to fulfil your will in and through me?” “Granted,” and he rises and takes my hand and we walk in the courts.

    Micah 7:18 Who is a God like You, Pardoning iniquity and passing over the transgression of the remnant of His Heritage? He does not retain His anger forever, Because He delights in mercy.

  • What Wonders!

    What Wonders!

    “Good morning Lord,” I curtsy. “Good morning my love,” he smiles. We walk hand in hand down the main path. What wonders we shall see!

    Deuteronomy 33:27 “The eternal God is a dwelling place, And underneath are the everlasting arms; And he drove out the enemy from before you, And said: ‘Destroy!’

  • Do less, trust God More!

    Do less, trust God More!

    I enter the Center of My Garden with a smile, clothed in white with my robe of humility. I look down and my feet are peaking out of my gown. I walk bare foot on the grass and as I dunk under the hanging foliage, I see Him there, waiting, beautiful and magnificent, regal! “Lord you are beautiful and I love you!” “We have work to do beloved, are you done trying to avoid it and your own timing?” “Yes Lord I am!” “Good let us get to work and enjoy the day, remember I am leading you!” “Yes Lord.” As I type this out I am grateful for the reminder of the instructions for this day and that he is leading.

    John 6:47 Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life.

    Sometimes it is just to do the next right thing. Why does this feel so hard today? I guess I need to learn to have even better boundaries. It is hard to change things from the inside and continue to be steady in who I am and becoming. It is admitting enmeshment and codependency. It is being patient with others, but also oneself. It is seeing some progress in others but not jumping back to complete trust and trusting God is working in me and for me. I can pray for others but I cant rescue them at all. I have time now to set myself to do and be who God needs me to be and I am letting go of the bitterness that this process brings. Do less, trust God more and be diligent to do as he leads! I can do this and do it His way! As the healing progresses, some of the permissible ways of coping are being left behind, this is bitter at first, but I will not stay stuck. I need to have some more personal discipline and so today I am. It is not blaming another, taking responsibility for my own life. It is a smile knowing that life is better today!

  • Hope because of Him!

    Hope because of Him!

    “Good morning Lord, I love you!” “Good morning.” “What would you share with me today Lord?” “There is a continual growth, pruning, planting, and uprooting, in this season. Are you ready for it?” “Yes lord, let’s continue the work!” And we begin right away.

    1 Peter 5:2 Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly;

    I can tell you there has been a lot of pruning and growth today. So much change that must take place. I am grateful for the constant guiding of the work the Master Gardener is overseeing in my garden. There is hope because of Him!!! When looking back at the question he asked me this morning, I am thinking, I was not ready, but I was, I knew I couldn’t tackle it alone and I never really know what will happen, but it is always grand and he finishes what he begins.

  • I abandon all!

    I abandon all!

    7/25/26 “Good morning Lord! I love you so Lord!” He smiles and we begin to laugh. “Thank you for joy Lord! Thank you for your strength. Hallelujah!, you are worthy of all my praise! Lord will you equip me to do the jobs you have given me? I resign up for them all. Give me the proper boundaries and all the help. I want to do your will and serve you with my whole heart and life, but this time no trauma bonds or manipulation and no more thievery!” “Yes Krista and a lot of work has been done today, it is time for more joy and rest. Will you enter in?” “Yes Lord, now help me!” “I am my love.” He puts his arm around me and we walk to a lovely place to sit by the river.

    7/26/26 I abandon all (myself) and take off running into the Center of My Garden. I run into the Master Gardener’s arms. “Lord I am yours!” I breathe a while, and he holds me close. “Now I know”, my voice cracks as I hold back tears and great emotion, “I know no weapon formed against me will prosper! And I am yours forevermore! Thank you! Thank you for breath and your life!” We set into the work the Father has for us today and into eternity. And all is well!

    Isaiah 54:17 “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgement you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me,” says the LORD.

  • Onward Christian Soldier!

    Onward Christian Soldier!

    The Holy Spirit is helping me get ready this morning. I am being filled and a smile has come to my face as this happens. I have that beautiful robe of humility on and I have been prepared with a beautiful bouquet of daisies to hand the Master Gardener. What a joy! I enter: “Good morning Lord.” He receives me and the flowers with open arms. As he pulls me against his chest I take a deep breath. He pulls me just away enough to look me in the eyes. “I love you Krista, all is well, be strong, be courageous, I am here.” I collapse back onto his chest and say: “Oh thank you Jesus, and thank you for transforming me and the Center of My Garden! I ask for the peace of Jerusalem!”

    It has been hot, not just in the temperature, but from the spiritual realm. Have you observed this for yourself and in general? I had needed correction, but I also needed to remain steady in what was being revealed. I am grateful I did not turn back, (in the past I have turned back, but that is what happens when you are in the f.o.g. and you don’t know it). Guilt and other emotions and lies tried to turn me aside, but the sky is now clear and though it pained me to see what was left after the fog lifted, I am happy with the truth and the growth it will produce. And today I say: “Onward Christian Soldier, he has made a way!”

    Deuteronomy 11:13-14 NKJV
    ‘And it shall be that if you earnestly obey My commandments which I command you today, to love the LORD your God and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, [14] then I will give you the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil.

  • I just Was!

    I just Was!

    “Good afternoon Lord.” “Good day my love.” “I had some discipline today Lord, and I am repentant.” We both smile. “Well we have work to do and let us enjoy each others company.” “Yes Lord, thank you!” I was not able to come into my garden early and then I needed time to be still before I did.

    This morning I was relying on old ways and my own fix. I wasn’t trying to be stubborn, I just was. It was not in a loud and demanding way, but I kept picking things I had set down back up and I wanted my own way, in the end. How I became aware of what I was doing is I asked a question I had gotten an answer to again, the same day (believe me it wasn’t just once or twice). I was given permission for it, it hurts me to write this and relive it. Along with the permission there was a quiet holy anger. And just like that I broke my own heart. I apologized of course, but I realized that saying I was sorry was just the start. I then got still and quiet and asked for help, I needed to be reverent in order to move on. I decided to lay down that request, it was not what I needed. I was instantly forgiven, but I see I need his help to change. I don’t want my flesh or the enemy driving me into snares or fixes that don’t work. I am much humbled today!

    1 Peter 1:17 And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear;
