  • Chains Falling!

    Chains Falling!

    “Holy Spirit, would you prepare me.” He helps me on with that robe of humility. He also puts a white flower in my hair. I smile. “Thank you Holy Spirit for making me beautiful, for transforming me,” I bow. He speaks to me and I am speechless. I receive his love.

    “Good morning Lord!” “Good morning Krista.” I begin to pray. “Lead me, guide me, transform me. I repent and let go hands with fear, doubt, unbelief, and lack. I believe in You and in me. Would you cleanse me and continue your good work Lord. I ask for restoration and that full service breakthrough you spoke to me about many years ago.

    I hear: “Today if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as at Meribah, and as in the day of Massah in the wilderness, Psalm 95:7. I also hear: I hear the chains falling! Amen and may our chains fall indeed!!!

  • I Know, I See, I Am Here!

    I Know, I See, I Am Here!

    “Good morning Lord, I love you, I ask for the peace of Jerusalem.” “Granted daughter, I love you too,” he smiles. I gaze at him a while. “What are we doing today in the garden Lord?” “We are adding supports, bolstering things up, for there has been much growth, and we must be ready for the growth right head.” I get down beside the Master Gardener and work along side him.

    A good while later: I came to water my vertical garden and I paused to just be. I hear a small trickle that is turning into a slow drip, from the water that is draining. “Lord here I am again and I do not wish to continue the cycles. I do not want to waste my time trying to fix things, to make things work or just gel. I guess I was in so deep that I didn’t realize the level of the enemies deception. I want more from You and life. Will you help me step out to the side and move on?” “Yes Krista, Will you trust me and keep letting go?” “Yes, Lord.” “Pray.” “Yes Lord.” “See.” “Yes Lord.” “Believe Me!” “Yes Lord, Holy spirit help me!” “I am.” “Thank you I am desperate for You and You Alone!” “I know, I see, I am here. Let’s get back to work in the whole garden!” “Okay Lord, on it!” And what a joy to know I can keep working, and hand the struggle into the Master Gardeners hand!

    Joshua 1:7 Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you: do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go.

  • Help Me!

    Help Me!

    “Good morning Lord!”, I smile. He embraces me and we whisper our “I love yous”. “Lord there is growth in my garden, would you help prioritize my time and all my resources. Help me not to go backwards. Help me with being still and lead by you. Help me in assisting others, but not rescuing.” “I am leading you, keep letting go, and ask Me for Truth!” “Yes Lord, will you give me the Truth?” “Yes, pray and let us continue in our work today,” and he turns back to the work he was doing. We have been at work from before sunrise today!

    1 Peter 2:25 For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

  • With a Smile!

    With a Smile!

    He greets me with a smile! “Hallelujah Lord, You are here and working. I praise You, I thank You. I worship You! Hallelujah! Bless the Lord, oh my soul…for He has done great things!” There is much joy in the Center of My Garden! The Master Gardener laughs with joy and I join in. “Lord You knew this day was coming. Thank you! For freedom has entered and overtaken my whole garden and that new season is showing!

    Psalm 40:1,2 I waited patiently for the LORD; And He inclined to me, And heard my cry. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock, And established my steps.

  • Fragrant White Lilies!

    Fragrant White Lilies!

    I prepare to enter the Center of My Garden. I ask the Holy Spirit to help me on with my robe of humility and gather a bunch of fragrant white lilies, to bring to the Lord.

    “Good morning my King,” I smile. I know he loves it when I smile. “Good morning my Love!” “Thank you for leading me, guiding me, providing for me and those you have given me. I release false unity and what you are not building. I wait for your restoration and in the waiting, I will build with you.” “Let us work today, I have some healing balm for your soul and body today,” “Thank you Lord.” He smiles and the balm is already at work!

    As the day has progressed I have had another application or two of that balm and I am healing and have been made more aware of the futility of carrying burdens that are not mine. I am so grateful for the breath!!!

    Jeremiah 31:3,4 The LORD has appeared of old to me, saying: “Yes I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you. Again I will build you and you shall be rebuilt, O virgin of Israel! You shall again be adorned with your tambourines, And shall go forth in the dances of those who rejoice.

  • I am Already in it!

    I am Already in it!

    5/30/26 “Good morning my Love!” “Good morning,” and he embraces me! “What a beautiful and bright day it is!” “Yes, it is new and fresh. Come with me,” he holds out his hand. It was a statement and a question. I take his hand, “Lord I am going with you! Will you transform my mind, my will, my emotions and my thoughts about myself, my life, and all you have called me to?” “Yes release it all, follow with me!” “Yes Lord!” I pray for the peace of Jerusalem and I also set in to pray.

    A day later, as I type this I had no idea of how much of a confirmation the day and night would take to showing me a new season was already here. Today my entire household has had to let go of the plans we made yesterday, our lives are not going in the direction we thought, it is very good. I knew by the evening that something wasn’t quit right and this morning I have been liberated from moving in a way that God is not in. I am grateful! I am rescued, and the freedom for my family has been established in greater measures! It is less about blame and more about seasons changing.

    5/31/26 I cut the ties this morning. I walked away. Yesterday I was aware that it is a new season and somethings can not go with me. Now for forward motion.

    “Good morning Lord, I love you!” As I entered the garden I asked the Holy Spirit to help prepare to meet with the Master Gardner. He helped me on with my robe of humility. I like this robe, it is very lite weight and pretty sheer. “Good morning my love! There is therefore no condemnation for those in me!” “Yes Lord.” “You are washed in my blood, you are filled with the Holy Spirit to over flow, and your life is sanctified and laid down!” “Thank you Lord, yes!” “Now let us enjoy the garden and do a “Light” work today.

    I guess I had to revisit old ideas in a new way and see that there is a letting go on a new level. The quicker I do it, the quicker I can enjoy the way forward. I am not looking for the new season, I am already in it. And I am, once again, grateful I am not alone, the Master Gardener is calling the shots!!!

    Psalm 112:6-7 Surely he will never be shaken; The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance. He will not be afraid of evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.

  • The Encouragement!

    The Encouragement!

    I have met with the Master Gardener in the Center of My Garden, earlier. This was my time to get refreshed and pour out my heart to him. I met with him again a while later:

    “Lord what are you interested in doing and speaking to me and or through me?” “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.” “I will continue to follow you and love, but I am leaving behind compromise and self doubt/condemnation. Bind up my wounds Holy Spirit. Give me the words and acts to expose, but bind up others. I want to move in you. Will you move in and through me?” “Yes, now pray!” “Yes Lord!”

    Yesterday and today I had written down 1 Peter4:12,13 and my eyes were drawn to it as I spoke to the Lord this morning: Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. I can not express to you the encouragement this brought to me and the fact that the Holy Spirit had the scripture catch my eye and I had forgotten what it was. I also rejoice in the fact that I am hearing him and following him, because above all else I need this.

    For me, it isn’t a mater of forgiveness, for I have forgiven and I will continue to, it is that it has been difficult to move ahead and see and act on truth around me, while things are not completely changed. I have learned to continue to be me, but I have to stop indulging some of my traits, the good ones. In some seasons and places it only hinders our seeing and moving past what others have shown us. I have learned to stop saying that I am confused and begun to say “I see clearly” and I will act as I need to in order to stay out of confusion and not perpetuating the cycles. I ask the Master Gardener several times a day to help me. And I am using that forgiveness strength I posses to forgive myself. Finally, I just want to add that once again that it is not about forgiveness alone, it is about letting people be who they have chosen to be and giving them to God. To stop rescuing and giving excuses and then believing and trusting God to work in them and for them, if they ever really want the freedom. God doesn’t need us to be perfect, though he will perfect us Himself, he needs us to stop hiding from the truth and face it with him. Sometimes the hardest thing to face is what we have become, or those we love. It is so much better to face things as we can and then heal and leave the old behind. God specializes in restoration, my life has been so transformed and I may have struggle I am coming out of, but I look nothing like I used too!!!!!

  • Continue!

    Continue!

    “Lord, good morning! I love you.” I stop and breathe. “Are there spaces in the whole garden that need tending too besides the Center?” “Continue to do the good work I have given you to do. Trust me! Let’s work on the Center today and I will lead you out for the little things around the whole garden. Will you continue to trust me?” “Yes Lord, I will!” “Then let us get to work, it is going to be a bright and beautiful day!” “Amen!”

  • Dancing!

    Dancing!

    We are dancing this morning in the Center of My Garden. The Master Gardener offered me His hand and whisked me off my feet. It is wonderful! We dance a good long while. He knows I need the joy and He is strengthening and empowering me as we dance. I am making an effort to smile and receive “Thank you Lord, thank you so much! I receive! I believe and trust in You and the work you’re doing in and through me!” There are beautiful purple flowers that surround us. I just can not be bothered to step out of this moment with Him. It is too needed and far too important. “I receive wisdom, instruction, and impartation from you,” and I seal it with a kiss. We walk over to the water falls of oil and water and I walk under to be refreshed and then washed. Now it is time to get instruction for todays work. “Lord lead me in the work You have today.” “Here are your instructions Krista,” He hands the plans over to me and smiles. The first thing I see written is Pray…so of course I do!

  • Awaken!

    Awaken!

    “Good morning Lord!” As I smile, I look up into his eyes and breathe. I receive his love and strength. I quiet my heart to listen. I look closer, to see. “Hear I am Lord. Awaken the message and acts you have for me to share and do in this time. I pray for the peace of Jerusalem, Israel. I will not be afraid!” “Come with me my love and follow.” “Yes Lord!” The Center of My Garden, and the whole, is beautiful this morning. Thank you for what you have given me to do today! Thank you for sharing your heart and life with me!”

    Philippians 2:13 for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.
