  • Joy Unspeakable!

    Joy Unspeakable!

    9/26/26 The Holy Spirit is prompting me and preparing me to enter the Center of My Garden, or meet with the King. I am not certain where the encounter will be today. He has helped gather fruit from my garden to bring the King. I have peaches, apples, banana, kumquats, and more. This will be a feast! I put on the robe of humility and I am off! Thank you Holy Spirit for your friendship and help. I need you and I love you. Train me to love and obey you more!” “I am Krista,” and I feel him smile. I receive the smile from him and it’s effects. So good!

    “Good morning My King,” I bow and realize I am encountering him on his throne. “Good morning Krista, my wife, draw closer to me.” And I lift my eyes and come near him. “Speak Lord for your servant is listening. I pray for the peace of Jerusalem. I ask for eyes to see and ears hear and a heart of discernment and wisdom to what you are saying and showing me.” “Won’t you walk with me today? We will go to your garden.” He rises and takes my hand. “We can move into the Center of Your Garden later and sit at the table with the Holy Spirit and enjoy those fruits you have brought. “Yes Lord!” And I am content, and filled to overflowing with joy unspeakable!

    Proverbs 21:3 To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.

    Today I have taken more steps in faith in an area of my life that is changing. I have been speaking about this lately. I still do not have specifics, but I took a step. And I realize that He is orchestrating it all. The simple instructions followed each day and in his timing are navigating me to his desired end. It is funny to say I still don’t know the outcome, but I know I am being lead by him and it will be good.

  • Look at the Bounty!

    Look at the Bounty!

    9/22/26 “Good morning Lord,” I smile. He reaches for me, pulls me in, and says good morning. He is infusing me with all I need to stand and more. I will remain here a while and I will pray. “I rejoice for my hope and trust are in you, wholly Lord,” I sing. My Lord hands me roses from the Center of My Garden. They are pink and fragrant! “We have worked and just look at the bounty and beauty my love.” “I agree with him and take in the scent of the bouquet. “Thank you Lord, I receive all from you today!”

    Today I have been brought to Hebrews 8:11 at different times and in different ways. Each time I have read it, it is standing out to me: “None of them shall teach his neighbor, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. Verse 12 goes on : “For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” Jeremiah 31:34 “No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the LORD. for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.” We can enter this covenant made by our Lord more fully today. Israel will experience it as a whole, as will we in the future, but it is for all who are in Christ, Jew and Gentile alike Now. We don’t need to wait. And how glorious it will be when even the earth and the city come into the fullness of this second covenant he made for us! Come Lord Jesus and sit on your throne! Begin in our hearts today and then take up that throne of David in Jerusalem, we welcome you!

  • Refreshing!

    Refreshing!

    9/17/26 “Good morning my Love, I am here and I am yours. You are beautiful, you are faithful. I lay down my life, I pick up my cross. I will follow you,” I sing this to him. He sings back to me, “You are lovely, my bride, you fill me with joy. You are beautiful. Arise and shine for your light has come, and I am risen over you.” Nothing compares to him and his presence! We drink of love for a while. “Lord will you walk with me this morning and hold my hand? I need you,” this last statement brings such emotion to the surface. “I am here, I never left, let’s walk,” he smiles tenderly at me.

    As I am typing this out today I see it fits with the theme of the day: Refreshing! I was reminded how important it is to rest and recharge. We can do this in battle and out of battle. It may require help from the Holy Spirit, especially if you have lived in perpetual states of war, but I tell you he has plans to liberate us out of such. I can testify that he has ended cycles of warfare in my life that lasted years. I am being liberated from others. The enemy of our souls likes to set up systems and cycles that we can not recognize or are born into in order to keep us trapped, but Christ came to set us free and how sweet his liberation is. We shouldn’t listen to religion and think we should not have problems or do this on our own. Jesus has restored the garden of my life and he still is. I hope you turn to him deeper today! I am!!

    Psalm 34:17 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles.

  • Keeps my Feet!

    Keeps my Feet!

    9/16/26 “Good morning Lord,” I smile. “Will you help me to work and rest today. It has been an interesting morning. I would like to understand what is good and bind and let go of the enemies workings and attempted traps.” “Yes my love, and good morning. Keep your eyes on me and let go. No weapon formed against you will prosper.” “Yes Lord. Strengthen me to begin again today.” “I am.” He pulls me in and holds me.

    It is amazing, once again that this encounter is perfect for me today as I am typing it out. I am so grateful for the Holy Spirits leading and reminders. It keeps my feet from being snared and turning back.

    Matthew 7:14 “Because narrow is the gate and difficult the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

    We are those who have found and entered the Way! Courage today friend, to stay on this path!

    Today I want to point out that I have noticed an increase in witch craft and the like in many ways coming through unexpected places and people. Though we don’t need to be in fear we need to address it. I am finding that as I sense it I need to act quickly. There are some comforts and old ways of doing things that I have had to run by the Lord for a new way or just let go of. It is extremely important to keep our gates and filters pure. I loosed it from my soul when I have been caught unaware. It has really amped up the last few days. It isn’t something we should tolerate or just ignore. It will affect our confidence and much more if we listen to the words and see the visions the enemy is painting. I pray for clarity and greater discernment for us both.

  • Joy level must Increase!

    Joy level must Increase!

    8/16/26 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6

    I took the before mentioned scripture and walked through it with the Holy Spirit. It is what first came to me as I set my heart to enter the Center of My Garden and meet with the Master Gardener. Many things transpired through the night and I needed to not just ignore them, but also to not lean on my or anyone else’s understanding.

    The Holy Spirit helps me on with my robe of humility and I take a bunch of peach roses. I enter with a smile. I curtsy, “Good morning my love!” He smiles and throws his head back with a laugh of joy! “Good morning my love!”, and he takes the flowers. We dance together at his suggestion. The joy level must increase, I sense it is needed! I rejoice in His love and care. “Lord, I hand you these cares. What would you like to tell me or say to me this morning?” I ask for the peace of Jerusalem first, then I wait on him. As I close my eyes I see a heart. Before I saw it, he was telling me: Everything is going to be alright. I am caring for you, and I will guide you and provide for you!” We will sit a while, I need his ministry and then we will work in the garden!

    He is my everything. He is my healer. He guides me through the rough patches and unknowns. I have said yes to him and the path he has for me ahead. He knows what is going on and he sees the best path for my care. I hope you let his joy in today and I hope you smile and dance with him. As I typed out this post form days ago, today I am glad for the revisit and I have danced with him.

  • In the Beloved!

    In the Beloved!

    Today I was asking for a scripture and was lead to Ephesians 1:6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved. There is a lot of good in this verse. I was drawn to accepted in the Beloved. The word Beloved is from the Greek: agapao. I then cross referenced this to Matthew 3:17 And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” The word beloved here is the Greek: agapetos. And of course I think of agape that is in both of these words.

    Agape is a noun that means love as a state, concept, or quality. It describes the actual substance or identity of unconditional, high-regard, or sacrificial care. An example is God is love. There is no higher form of love. Agape is from God.

    Agapao is a verb meaning: To love actively. It is the dynamic action, practice, or choice of showing that high regard and commitment toward someone or something.

    Agapetos is an adjective meaning: Beloved, dear, or highly esteemed. It describes the recipient of that love- the agapeo is directed at. An example is this is my beloved son.

    If we look back at Ephesians 1:6 the Beloved, we see that God has not only accepted us but he agapaos us! And in Matthew 3:17 we see that like His Son, we are agapetos to Him!

    There is no higher form of acceptance or love. We are both the object of His love and the recipient of it. I don’t know about you, but I needed this today! If we are in Christ we are the Beloved and we are learning to love one another in this agape love! May we accept the love of the Father more fully today, then we can mature into all that He created us to be!

  • I trust you Father!

    I trust you Father!

    As I stepped out the patio door and rolled around tending to my vertical garden, I looked up while moving it and there was a small grey bird opening and closing his eyes. He looked sleepy, he had tolerated a lot of noise and movement from me without stirring. He did not move or seem to be in much fear. He did move to the side of the outside of my patio after a while. And he seemed curious and didn’t move as if injured. I put a little lid filled with water to drink. I came back later to collect the lid and I decided to be courageous and go onto the grass and there at another corner of the house I saw the bird. He stayed put as I tried to bring the water closer until just at the last minute. And I did get stuck in the grass for a brief moment. Then he quickly moved all the way back in front of my patio and further into the grass. Now he looks like a sitting duck and his tail is up and blowing in the wind. He is very much alive, but I can clearly see he is injured by his hobble.

    I have always loved birds, I get that from my Mom and Father God! It is not a sparrow and reminds me of a small dove. I have been able to help birds before. I have prayed and I know how much God cares for this bird, so far there is nothing I can do. There is another who has identified with the birds reactions to help. It is interesting how we are all together unhelpful at times with our own help and could be rescue. Sometimes the idea is not to rescue but to trust our loving Father, with animals and people. Our rescue may be impossible, or cause further harm. I have thanked God for that bird and my eyes and ears are open to the prompting, just in case I can help, but I must move on and let go in many ways. And so I shall! I am learning. Maybe sometimes we can allow for shelter to be taken around in the spaces we have been given and that may be all the help that can be offered.

    I have gone looking out the window and see that bird is there. I asked: “Father is there anything I can do or is it his time to go?” He asks me to pray so I am, and tears are beginning, which tells me there is more to this story. I trust you Father!!! I am learning to say: “I love you and I let you go.”

    I went back to look out the window and the little guy has moved. A big dog and it’s owner came around and the bird did not move, they did not see the little bird. A while later and the bird is up and foraging in the grass. He noticed me looking at him. I have continued to pray. Maybe the little fella just needs a bit of time and shelter and a miracle!

    I came to look for the bird and realized the sprinklers had been on and the bird had had to take cover, and is no where to be seen. The next morning as I went out to tend to my vertical garden there was the bird on the rock path sun bathing and snoozing. I prayed about the bird and put a little kit together, but so far I am realizing just because it is sheltering around me, doesn’t mean I am to or can do anything. I have done more than I have been asked too. I am learning that I should do only what God tells me, each time he has asked me to pray, so I am working on praying in faith and fervently knowing that He is listening.

    I prayed further the next two days for the bird and I sent up a prayer for me. At this point I believe I was being shown that I must let go of distractions and that even though God will care for the bird and people, he will not force them. Some times they can be helped and others are a distraction. He answered my prayer by causing the bird to move along. I am grateful his eye is on the sparrow and you and I. I am also grateful for the letting go and moving on from distractions! Upon reading the first paragraph it seems I knew what to do from the start! And I should do what He asks, no less, no more!

    This was a lesson for me to trust God with one or two people and a sign of what I could not do and needed to let go of. I never saw that bird again and the prayer I lifted up gave me the answer I needed in these relationships. One has decided and the other who knows, but my job is clear. Walk on in love and Victory and let them go!

    Added: Sometimes people will not grow, they refuse. Some will not even let God help them. I can not do God’s job for Him or them. But God has shown me that He is faithful to continue to care for the birds and people, but for me they have often been used to waste my time and that is now my decision. I will let go and do what God has for me. And maybe we should check if there are areas of trauma we need to ask Him to heal so we are not that bird that will not allow God to heal! I am today!!!

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Butterflies of Light!

    Butterflies of Light!

    7/27/26 “Good morning Lord the garden is beautiful.” “Yes and it will be a very productive day. Shall we get started?” “Yes, let’s.”

    7/28/26 “Good morning Lord. What a beautiful day. The birds are chirping and the garden is so lovely. Lord, I expect a miracle!” Joy fills his countenance, “Yes Krista, it is yours!” And he blows a kiss that breathes love, strength, and life into me! Butterflies of light flew out of that kiss too! He is wonderous! “I love life with you Jesus, thank you!” “There is work to do.” And we set about it in the Center of My Garden.

    It is ok to just begin and take one step at a time. You are not alone! When coming awake or out of a narcissistic system or relationship it can take some work and time. It is good work, however, and very much worth it! It is important to ask the Holy Spirit to reveal what spirits are or have been in operation. Yes this is important with those who are used against us, but if you grew up in it or have been in it for sometime, there is healing, deliverance, and new ways to live life for you. The abusers or their minions can be forgiven, prayed for and an agape type of love can be offered and it is a good idea to not look for or to change any of them. There must be better boundaries and the ceasing of rescuing them, I am working on these! I found in my situation two key spirits in operation Jezebel and Absalom, followed by python and leviathan. Today I dealt with any pride or very low self esteem that might still be in me, thinking of rejecting the spirit of leviathan. The goal is to keep us trapped or re-trap us, so repenting and forsaking the spiritual darkness and false ideas and ways we had learned is key. Also, though victimhood is a reality at first, I found I had to begin to take authority, Jesus’ authority over these things operating around me. We don’t want to control anyone else, guiding and disciplining young children aside, because Jezebel is a controller. We simply can not have anything in common with the enemy to be free. Jezebel is also very religious. I found applying the blood of Jesus to myself and taking communion is necessary too. Part of the pain is when you realize how hard you have sincerely worked to love and find out it was not reciprocated and worse, a whole lot of time and energy went into deceiving you. People must be forgiven, but not the enemy! Forgiveness doesn’t equal trust!!! There is justice and others can decide if they want to come out of the system, God must be their guide! Also, there is not much else as painful and unhelpful as teaching a deceiver how to recognize and do a better job of deceiving, so I would let God work, I have to say I had painful lessons in doing the wrong thing in this, but there is grace and we don’t start off knowing always how and who is being used!
