  • Keeps the Cycle Going!

    Keeps the Cycle Going!

    “Good morning Lord, I love you!” “Good morning sweetheart!” We have been at work in the Center of the Garden today. We have been at work in the personal and outer space as well. “Lord look at this beauty what a joy you have created!” “Yes it is!” “Thank you for the strength and refreshing you have given me today. Thank you for renewed focus. The battle belongs to you!” “Indeed it does!” “Keep praying and stay very close to me, and retreat often to this place and I will keep guiding you and providing!” “Yes Lord!”

    I have decided to put my encounter up above, it is not the order in which my day has gone, I wanted to give it first for those who need encouragement and maybe don’t need or want to read the following. I share because it is what I have to give. He is working in me and you and it is beautiful and there are days and times where we fight to be in truth and take forward ground.

    “Holy Spirit, will you help me in this narrow place? I must not rely on what I see and feel. I must not turn back. What do I do with the conflicting feelings and circumstances?” “Pray Krista.” “Yes Holy Spirit. I need your protection and vindication. You will fight for me. I will not be consumed with self or repay my enemies. I will walk with the full armour on and in love. Help me to be patient with myself as I change.”

    Deuteronomy 33:27 The eternal God is your refuge, And underneath are the everlasting arms; He will thrust out the enemy from before you, And will say, “Destroy!”

    The truth has come in another level. I did not expect it to be so hard to embrace. It means I must embrace and let God work. He will work. but the outcome may not be as I hoped. Make no mistake, it will be good! I have been in conflicting circumstances before. It isn’t where I will stay, but I will not be moved out of my place. I have been here before and I could not continue, but there is a better way and time to overcome. This is my stand, to not accept and go back or stay at peace with the enemy, to grow and to stand, and I will see the salvation of the Lord! This is how I will stay away from victimhood. And how I will not just give in to keep the peace with the enemy. This is how I will be my Father’s daughter and rise above! It begins, once again, with acceptance and letting go of understanding. I try to comprehend and this keeps the cycle going. I must accept and let go. Lord help me to let go! Help me to not try to be you to them! If I accept it, then years of my life again feel wasted. If I see it, I loved so deeply and sacrificially, with joy, but I was only used. But if I don’t face it the chaos continues and I can’t get free. So here I am, acceptance with joy, your handmaiden Lord. I let go and I see! I talk myself back into being loved, but it isn’t true. This is where Your Love, Truth, and Strength with Wisdom and Clarity must continue to grow and change me. I submit. I can do all things trough Christ who strengthens me. This may not be as I would like to write this today, but it is as it was. Go up and read the first part to see how I moved on and how I have overcome and am on track. I had to move through the emotions and embrace them and the truth to get to the joy and moving on.

    Matthew 5:46-48 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

    This is a very good scripture, just don’t gaslight yourself with it, it can be done, and sometimes it is difficult to maintain the balance, but the Holy Spirit knows what we should do and how to do it. It can be a sacrifice, but maybe not the way controlling spirits would have us do it. There is love and order in God’s kingdom and it includes love, safety and protection for us. May we guard our hearts Lord, and love with abandon when you call us too! May we keep you first above all else!!!

  • Break Out of the Cycles!

    Break Out of the Cycles!

    “Good morning Lord,” “Good morning Krista!” “Lord here I am to worship, here I am to be one with you! What is your plan today?” “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!” “Yes Lord!” And I do. “Lord would you also pour out your Glory on me, my household, and the whole world?” “Yes, I will.” “Thank you!

    This morning I was brought back to a scripture and theme I began to talk about on 4/9/26. The scripture that stuck out to me today was 2 Kings 17:33: They feared the Lord, yet served their own gods-according to the rituals of the nations from among whom they were carried away. This scripture was speaking about the people that got brought to live where Israelites had been removed. The people were taught about God and how to serve him but they served the gods from their pasts and culture, though their gods did not do the wonders that made them have to learn how to serve the God of the Land they were moved into: The God of all creation. Today I was reminded that it can be tempting to not fully deal with and come out of idolatry. Sometimes we have grown up with traditions and familial things that need to be broken and left behind once we get the wisdom. If you look at previous chapters, the children of Israel had kings who, even if they were serving God, some did not, they didn’t serve him and him only. Today I am more determined to fully break out of the cycles and move into all that God has for me.

    On 4/9/26 I also wrote about a languishing plant in my garden. I have some more insight on that today. I am going to write here what I originally wrote that day, some of it may be redundant, but it is the way things are flowing today: Todays work entailed some new plants and a very important letting go of the languishing plant. I looked at it and realized there was nothing I could do. And so as 2 new plants that have merged have come, one has gone and I am ok with this. Not all our plans and efforts go the way we hoped, but the efforts and learning are never lost. It wasn’t easy to see this the other day or more fully today. I had to just let go! In this I realized I have had all the info I need for some other decisions I have needed to make. I have just been trained to let my emotions override discernment. Well, I am growing too! I learned to stay small, to settle for crumbs from others, but my pot has been too small and it is time for me to be uprooted and planted a fresh.

    This brings me to the scripture I was reading in Mark 4:1-12. It is the parable of the sower. The ground my languishing plant was planted in had become like small rocks and the roots had dried in with them. I needed to get rid of the soil and add new soil to the new plants.

    For the plants and my life, the soil of our hearts is very important. And for me I was shown a hidden area in the Center of My Garden where generations had hidden soil that was unusable. I am currently working with the Master Gardener to dig it up, and replace it, so I can plant new there just like the new plant I have from the two. I have to leave ways that are idolatrous, serving of an idolatrous system and containing. The Master Gardener has a free way to his planting and life. I will grow much better in his soil! And I too have become one with him.
