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.

Matthew 6:1-4
1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Luke 16:13

FRET NOT

1 PSALM 37:1-40
1 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
4 Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord upholdeth the righteous.
18 The Lord knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.
21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.
22 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.
25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
28 For the Lord loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.
31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
33 The Lord will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
34 Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.
38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
40 And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.
31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
33 The Lord will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
34 Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.
38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
40 And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

0 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. Isaiah 26:20
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. Matthew 6:5-6
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. 1 John 5:14-15
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE BY PRAYING ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD!

For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake. 1 Thessalonians 1:5
And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee. Matthew 26:73
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that theywere unlearned and ignorant men, theymarvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. Acts 4:13
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. John 8:44
YOUR SPEECH and ACTIONS REVEALS WHAT MANNER OF MAN OR WOMAN YOU ARE!

CONSIDER THE WORD

CONSIDER the WORD
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Philippians 2:5
GOD does NOT give a spirit of fear. Saran is the author of all confusion and the spirit of fear.
Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:6-7
GOD will keep you in peace when you keep your mind on Him.
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Isaiah 26:3
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. Philippians 2:5
The battlefield is in your mind. It takes effort and discipline, but if you do what Philippians 4:8 says, it will start you on a new path of victory over adverse situations and circumstances.
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8
You can overcome! The WORD is filled with instruction to lead you on the best path to your destiny.
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Revelation 12:11
For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee. Psalm 84:11-12

NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD!
NOVEMBER 1, 2016
Opal Dalton
And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Genesis 11:6
The people referenced in this scripture had the wrong motive, BUT PRAISE GOD when we align our words with God, and come into agreement with the right motive, in one mind, one accord, and filled with God's love, there is nothing our God won't do when we believe and receive, for with God nothing shall be impossible! Luke 1:37
More reference scriptures which are forefront in my mind this morning!
Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. Mark 9:23
Acts 2:1-4
1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Acts 1:8
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Luke 10:19

GALATIANS 5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. 16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
JOHN 13:34-35
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

GOD'S WORD CHANGES NOT

GOD'S WORD CHANGES NOT
As I awoke this morning. The WORD of the Lord in 2 Timothy 1:6-12, Malachi 3:6, Psalm 89:34, Isaiah 9:6, 2 Timothy 2:19, Numbers 23:19, 2 Timothy 1:7 came to me along with the song "I Cannot Tell It All". I shared the song in another post. I am posting the scriptures below. The Spirit is speaking! I can't write all I hear, but I pray you will be encouraged by HIS WORD.
GOD HAS NOT CHANGED and HE WILL NOT CHANGE! People change! Situations change! Seasons change. Governments of this world change! But the KINGDOM GOD stands strong, steadfast and sure.
God will not altar or break His covenant! He is not a man that he should lie, nor the son of man that He should repent. He does not give a spirit of fear, but of love, peace, and a sound mind!
2 TIMOTHY 1:6-12
6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;
9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
Malachi 3:6
For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

I'VE GOT A PRAISE AND I'VE GOT TO LET IT OUT!
I have a praise and I've got to let it out. As I watched this video I am reminded of how David danced before the Lord. (See scripture below. )I have been a praiser and danced before the Lord for many years. Although some may not understand, I cannot stop praising my God!
2 Samuel 6:14-23
14 And David danced before the Lord with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.
16 And as the ark of the Lord came into the city of David, Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.
17 And they brought in the ark of the Lord, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord.
18 And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts.
19 And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed every one to his house.
20 Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!
21 And David said unto Michal, It was before the Lord, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel: therefore will I play before the Lord.
22 And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.
23 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.
