  • Resistance is Futile!

    Resistance is Futile!

    I step through the hanging limbs with leaves and blossoms, into the Center of My Garden. It is filled with his light! I smile, “Oh good morning Lord.” I place my head on his shoulder, (I had quickly sat beside him). “Lord I am filled with courage, with love, and joy, this morning.” “Yes, you are and waves will continue to come over you and wash away the gloom and pain of “yesterday”. ” “Thank you Lord I receive your refreshing more fully!”

    Resistance is futile! It only compels me forward. That is my stance against the pressure of the enemy today. My resistance is effective against him however.

    James 4:7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

    I am prompted by the Spirit and begin to sing: “My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness…On Christ the Solid Rock I stand!”

  • oh His smile!/a New way.

    oh His smile!/a New way.

    5/17/26 “Good morning Lord, I love you!” “Good morning Krista,” he is smiling at me, oh His smile! “Are you Ready to live and thrive and move in me?” “Yes Lord, I am, help me make the adjustments in order to do this!” “I am, I will! The planting is completed this morning, let us enjoy the whole garden.” “Yes Lord! Lead me on!”

    I hear the Spirit saying: If My people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal there land. 2 Chronicles 7:14 Amen! And so I turn, we turn whole heartedly to you Jesus. We forsake all wicked ways. Heal our land, restore our families- bless our lives! Equip us to reach the children. Have your way in the United States of America and the whole World.

    On this national day of Rededication, I rededicate my life, my family, my country The United States of America to God/Jesus, and all our purposes!!! Will you join me?

    Yesterdays post:

    5/16/26 “Lord, good morning”- I burst into the Center of My Garden with a smile, “I am eager to work and be with you!” He embraces me, “Let us continue our work today Krista!” And this fills my heart to overflowing! “Yes Lord let’s continue! Speak/reveal the truth in love to me and supply my needs, show me the way in which to overcome the challenges.” And we head out hand in hand.

    Our conversation as we walk: “Lord I do not want to continue in the way they are going and I do not want to cater to them anymore. I choose to go alone with you a new way. I can do all things… Give me what I need to do this. Help me Jesus! I need help inside myself and from their schemes. I so forgive them, but I’ll not have it anymore. Will you help me? “Yes Krista,” he extends his hand to me, and I take it. “I will lead you out today, don’t be afraid, will you follow? “Yes Lord I am following!” “Keep your eyes on me and stay close.” “Yes Lord, help me!” “I am!”

    I hear the Spirit say: I am my beloveds and he is mine, his banner over me is love. Song of Solomon 2:4 He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.

  • The Truth

    The Truth

    I step into the Center of My Garden with a smile. The Master Gardener is waiting for me. “Good morning Lord!” Good morning Krista! Today we will continue to work on boundaries and we will plant.” “Thank you Lord!” “You are most welcome!” “Can we sit and have a cup of coffee and enjoy the love in the atmosphere, (it comes from him)? ” “Yes,” he smiles and we sit a while.

    I heard the Spirit speaking this scripture: Psalm 95:7b-8 Today if you will hear His voice: “Do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion, As in the day of trial in the wilderness,”

    Lord help me/us to face You- The Truth and be set free, set on course. Provide and carry us through needed changes. May we walk swiftly into obedience surrounded by your love, clarity, and provision! Expose. Make the vision plain!

  • I Hear Him!

    I Hear Him!

    “Hear I am to worship…”, I sing as I come into the Center of My Garden. “Lord, what is on your heart today? What would you like to say and reveal? I pray for the peace of Jerusalem.” He comes over to me and holds me close. I brearhe.

    Today I hear him say: “Walk with me, continue to step out afresh, wait on me as I renew your mind and strengthen you. You will hear a voice beside you saying to go to the right or left. Follow me, I got this!”

    Isaiah 30:20-21 And though the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the waters of affliction, Yet your teachers will not be removed into a corner anymore, But your eyes shall see your teachers. Your ears shall hear a word behind you saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” Whenever you turn to the right hand or the left.

  • Offer my Hand to Him!

    Offer my Hand to Him!

    I walk into the Center of My Garden and offer my hand to him to lead me. His hand was already extended toward me, to my surprise. I look up and smile, “I love you,” I say. ” I know,” he smiles. And we walk toward a very lit place of sunshine and joy- nestled between green hills. “What a day this will be Lord lead on.” And he does!

    Today the Lord says: “Come away with me my love.” Will you take his invitation? I know I am!

    Song of Solomon 2:10-11 My beloved spoke, and said to me: “Rise up, my love, my fair one, And come away. For lo, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone!”

  • Labor with Purpose and Determination!

    Labor with Purpose and Determination!

    “Good morning Lord- what a beautiful day in the Center of My Garden.” He is on the ground, trowel in hand and beads of water are falling onto the planting. He is laboring for me, teaching me, and the intensity of the light is causing beads to fall from his forehead. “Lord your labor is watering the seeds. Will you teach me how to partner with you in your labor with purpose and determination, but not striving and on my own?” “Yes, watch me and follow. Do as I do,” he smiles. “Thank you Lord for showing me that you care for me so tenderly and faithfully. How I need your love!” And with that I get down beside him to work! I begin to sing “What a mighty God we serve.”

    Something on my heart began yesterday. I was given such praise from the Lord and then I saw a scripture that seemed challenging and began to feel lacking, critical. I believe it is good to let scripture and truth pierce me and challenge me to grow, but I have been finding something else going on. It is comparison. Sometimes we are expecting things of ourselves and it is too much. God requires from us what we can do and have, yes he will challenge us at times to do more, but we can get overwhelmed with some things by expecting more than he is actually asking of us. It is something we do, listening and looking at what something looks like in another’s life, I am finding it is good to do what we can, but it wont be the same way always, in which others fulfill things. Now I am not talking about sin. God can be asking us to start small, in our eyes or others eyes, and often we can do something (acts of kindness etc.), but it looks different than the accepted normal way. I just want to challenge you to open up to seeing how the Lord has called you to fulfill his requests for you in your life. I am currently doing this. It can often begin in our own house or toward one person or situation. There are things that we overlook as well, we don’t deem them anything, but they are love and obedience and when we see the truth it makes it easier for us to let go of false expectations and continue on out of encouragement. I stopped to ask for how I am fulfilling the scripture and how I might continue too grow in it. And he showed me and I felt empowered instead of feeling unable like my feet hand been cut off beneath me. I pray for a revelation for you in this too that you might know the love and goodness of our God more fully!

  • Thank You!

    Thank You!

    “Good morning my King,” I smile! “Good morning my love.” “What does this day entail?” “Let’s enjoy the garden today, rest, and rejoice!” “Oh wonderful idea Lord.” And we move straight into the heart of it!

    1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

    What wonders are being worked in me and my garden in this season. I yield a little more to the processes I am in. “Thank you Master Gardener, for showing me the way!”

  • Here I am!

    Here I am!

    “Good morning Lord.” “Good morning Krista! Are you ready for life and joy?” “Oh yes, please Lord!” “Then let’s get to it, follow me!” And I do! “Yes Lord.”

    On the battlefield today I had to stand up again and look and see what it is I have been taught and what is being exposed. It is, at times that the instructions we are getting are for the moment and then there comes a day and it was also for that day and time, all of it. I am there. I do not see the fullness of it, but I stood up on the battle field and said “Yes”. The Lord is calling me to stand and advance and I can do it. “Lord I hear your call and Here I am!” I hope you will answer his call to our stations. Lord give us clarity and courage!!!

    Ephesians 6:12-13 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

  • I Am Here!

    I Am Here!

    5/6/26 “Lord I am here, I want to be with you!” He takes my hand and leads me on.

    5/7/26 “Good morning Lord, I need you today!” “Yes and I am here to guide you and equip you. Will you follow me?” “Yes Lord I will follow you! What are we doing in the garden today?” “Pray and I will lead you.” “Yes Lord!”

    Today is a day for being still and taking ground. It does seem contradictory, but it is not. The Master Gardener is training me in protecting my garden, reclaiming it, and leading me to abundance.

  • Let’s Go Fishing!

    Let’s Go Fishing!

    “Lord- You are beautiful! I love this day and I love you! Thank you for the growth in my garden.” He smiles, “Let’s go fishing in the pond today!” He is wearing a fishing hat and it makes me smile. “Lord I will fish with you. Will you teach me?” “Oh yes, let’s go…” and we are off!

    Later on: “What will we catch today Lord?” “You will see.” We set out a little deeper into the center of the pond.” Lord this is amazing. The life you give is indescribable!” He laughs with joy and I join in.

    Psalm 119:31-32 I cling to Your testimonies; O LORD, do not put me to shame! I will run the course of Your commandments, For You shall enlarge my heart.
