GET UP AND DO SOMETHING

December 16,  2016
Opal Dalton

The WORD of the LORD through a true prophet of GOD,  comes to pass!

Four lepers were castaways, and separated outside the camp from the rest of the people. They were sitting still, doing nothing, and dying.

One day they chose to GET UP and DO SOMETHING! By making this decision,  they were used to bring about the manifestation of blessing and abundant provision  which fulfilled THE WORD OF
THE LORD spoken by the prophet of GOD.

GOD uses whoever He chooses. This is a good day to make a decision to GET UP AND DO SOMETHING! You just might be the one GOD wants to use to fulfill a WORD HE HAS SPOKEN!

READ the WORD of GOD and be inspired, strengthened and encouraged.

2 Kings 7:1-20

Then Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the Lord; Thus saith the Lord, To morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.
2 Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the Lord would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.
3 And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?
4 If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.
5 And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians: and when they were come to the uttermost part of the camp of Syria, behold, there was no man there.
6 For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.
7 Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.
8 And when these lepers came to the uttermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; and came again, and entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and went and hid it.
9 Then they said one to another, We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, some mischief will come upon us: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king's household.
10 So they came and called unto the porter of the city: and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but horses tied, and asses tied, and the tents as they were.
11 And he called the porters; and they told it to the king's house within.
12 And the king arose in the night, and said unto his servants, I will now shew you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we be hungry; therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, we shall catch them alive, and get into the city.
13 And one of his servants answered and said, Let some take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city, (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it: behold, I say, they are even as all the multitude of the Israelites that are consumed:) and let us send and see.
14 They took therefore two chariot horses; and the king sent after the host of the Syrians, saying, Go and see.
15 And they went after them unto Jordan: and, lo, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. And the messengers returned, and told the king.
16 And the people went out, and spoiled the tents of the Syrians. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the Lord.
17 And the king appointed the lord on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate: and the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died, as the man of God had said, who spake when the king came down to him.
18 And it came to pass as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be to morrow about this time in the gate of Samaria:
19 And that lord answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if the Lord should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.
20 And so it fell out unto him: for the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died.

A Simple Mindset and Moving into A Deeper Spiritual Mindset

JUST THINKIN'

SAVED With A SIMPLE MINDSET ......
Accepting  JESUS as Saviour, and accepting the scriptural or foundational basics,  such as who He is, (the only begotten Son of God, born of a virgin, etc ). Also having knowledge  of the WORD in varying degrees,  but not consumed with study, prayer and  finding always desiring more answers or explanations, nor always seeing every thing as much from a spiritual perspective, or comparing everything to WORD and the spiritual... I am not meaning  it is wrong to have a "simple mindset". It can be further explained like Child Like Faith as little children who just accept a parents teaching without question.

MOVING INTO A DEEPER SPIRITUAL CONSCIOUSBESS  And MINDSET........
When a person is drawn and/or submits to prayer, seeking the face of God ,  and study of the Word, the mindset, or consciousness of the spiritual things,  becomes more aware of the spiritual realm. Usually the roots grow deeper, as spiritual understanding increases through acknowledging and using wisdom, knowledge, discerning of spirits,  and the  other spiritual  gifts.

IT IS A PROCESS!!
Although it is not always easy to do so,  staying balanced is good, regardless where we are in moving into new realms and into deeper things. The WORD says when we know much, that much will be required. As we increase in spiritual insight, we also must realize our responsibility increases to follow the Lord, and to do our best to obey that which we learn.

Character Traits.

CHARACTER TRAITS

Character traits are all the aspects of a person's behavior and attitudes which  make up a persons personality. Everyone has character traits, both good and bad.

Character traits are descriptive adjectives, like honest, kind, moral, loving, loyal, truthful, giving,  patient, forgiving, understanding, trustworthy, and merciful!

Then there is the flip side such as unfaithful, dishonest, immoral, untruthful, selfish, hateful, greedy, envious, jealous, unkind, lying  and so forth.

You and I are known, and will be remembered by our character traits.  These are things we can choose and control. This is worth considering with new morning,  throughout the day, and with the end of each day as we prepare to rest and sleep.

SMILE in the Morning! SMILE at Night!

GOOD MORNING. It is a beautiful new day which the Lord has made!    Each morning we can choose to have a day filled with making happy memories, speaking good words,  and doing good deeds, which will make us  smile as we reflect on what we have done and said  when we  go to bed this evening. God bless! I

Just Doing YOUR Part makes A Huge Difference

NOVEMBER 19, 2016
Opal Dalron

If everyone will look at themselves and become properly aligned with Gods  Word,  there won't be any fingers, or tongues, to direct toward anyone else. 

If each of us does our part to love unconditionally as God does,  with the Love we desire  to be loved, and to live peaceful, godly lives,  we can be a part of creating real change in our own lives lives, the lives of our  seed,  community, city, state,  nation and the world!

It is clear that a lot of repenting  should be going on without exception, and daily prayer for all, and for Gods will to be done in earth as it is in heaven. This is so needful.  

Don and I pray daily for all  in authority,  as well as for our soldiers who fight for our freedom, policemen and firefighters, and all who work in hospitals, and who are daily caring for the results of what people are causing to manifest through sin, hate, disrespect, disobedience, etc...  

This  is what the Word instructs everyone do.  But everyone has a choice whether to obey or disobey, to do good or evil.  Obedience is so much better than the sacrifice we all now daily see. Love you.

I DO NOT believe God hears,  or answers prayers for others to fail ....PERIOD!

I DO believe that the  effectual, fervent  prayers of a righteous man (or woman) avail much.

I DO ALSO BELIEVE that which you wish upon another will boomerang and be upon you, your seed,  and others who are innocent.

God rains on the just and the unjust ... good or bad!

Yes this is my personal thoughts and opinions, however they are based upon the WORD  Of GOD!

Blessing and cursing out of the same mouth?  Who do you serve?God's WORD says this  is not to be.

GOD ALWAYS HAS A GOOD PLAN FOR YOU

MIVEMBER 19
Opal Dalton

What kind of future are YOU creating for future generations, with YOUR WORDS, YOUR THOUGHTS  and YOUR  ACTIONS?

Death and life are in the power of the tongue. They that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Proverbs 18:21

The WORD of GOD will all be fulfilled! Perilous times are here, BUT THE GREAT AWAKENING IS ALSO HERE!

Those who will AWAKE, ARISE, and ALIGN YOUR THOUGHTS, WORDS, and ACTIONS  with the WORD OF GOD will reap the promised restoration, even during the worst of times. because GOD has promised, and GOD keeps HIS covenant promises.

GOD has always had a GOOD PLAN which gives HOPE and a FUTURE  (JEREMIAH 29:11) and that is  not going to change, because HE is the LORD and HE CHANGES NOT! (Malachi 3:6)!

For he whom God hath sent  speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. John 3:34

He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. John 7:38

For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: Isaiah 28:10

He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Matthew 11:15

PRAYING ad PRAISING... A LIFESTYLE

NIVEMBER 21, 3016
Opal Dalton

PRAYING and PRAISING! It is not a new thing with me! This has been my choice and lifestyle for many years because JESUS is my LORD and KING and ALMIGHTY  GOD is my GOD! In this present day, it is so important to remember whose you are and who you are.   All Believers, we need to pray, praise and stay focused, trusting our God and occupying until JESUS CHRIST comes!  GOD is still on the throne!

THE EYES OF THE LORD ARE UPON YOU

For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and he pondereth all his goings.
Priverbs 5:21

The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.  Proverbs 15:3

All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord weigheth the spirits. Proverbs 16:2

Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts. Proverbs 21:2

The eyes of the Lord preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor. Proverbs 22:17

For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. I Peter 3:11

WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?

NOVEMBER 10, 2026
Opal Dalton

There is NO gray area with GOD ....
And NO fence to straddle!!!
GOD is GOOD! The devil is bad!
GOD is LIGHT! The devil is darkness!
WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?
More importantly WHO is on your side?

As for me,I will serve the LORD!
My Lord  is my Saviour,
my healer, my provider,
my lawyer, my judge,
my best friend.
On Him I can always depend.

He is my guide.
Always by my side.
Never leaves or fursakes me.
In Him I have learned to abide.
I am my Beloved's and He is mine.
His banner over me is LOVE.

Thinking and actions dominated by Holy Spirit continually moves you to a "higher level" of "Doing", "Being". and "Living

ASK GOD, THEN LISTEN FOR HIS ANSWER

NOVEMBER 10, 2016
Opal Dalton

Many run to and fro looking for answers from someone else. When your heart is open to God, you will find that the real answers you need come from within by divine revelation.

GOD'S infinite intelligence, wisdom and knowledge has the ability to provide every answer you need.  Simply ask and then listen for His answer.
