Because all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God and because the devil seeks to tempt all humanity… we must all beware that there is none perfect, none blameless, all have a sin filled past and all who belong to the Lord have by the grace of God….been redeemed we must be wise as serpents and gentle as doves and discern all things. Most importantly, the way to do this is to take all things before the Lord and ask what is this? Most assuredly if something is said that is not good then it is not of God. If something is said that is bad… if it is not of God…it has to be from the one who loves to bring the opposite of God’s love which brings conflict, discord, anger, and chaos.
The discernment comes in knowing if words are a warning or a judgement? If a judgment, we would be wise to remember there is one judge and that is God in heaven. We are to judge not lest we be judged. Now calling something out for what it is…is a truth…judging what God should or should not do of a matter is not for us to do. For God’s ways are not man’s ways. Job learned that and so did Jonah, as we all must learn. Gideon learned it too…as he took 300 men up before thousands and God gave him the victory.
The story summarized, is the Lord said to Gideon: “Whoever is fearful and afraid, let him turn and depart at once” When Gideon did that, 22,000 of his fighting men went home. Those that remained were only 10,000 men. Then again the Lord said that number was still too many. He told Gideon to take the men to the stream, have them drink, whoever takes their time and looks down, send them home. So Gideon did and ended up sending all but 300 men home. God said, I will give you the victory with the 300 men.
Now Gideon trusted the Lord, but being human he worried about such a small army of 300 going up against 135,000 enemy soldiers. So the Lord told Gideon to secretly go into the Midianite camp where He would give him a sign of encouragement. Gideon went and heard a Midiante soldier telling a dream to another. He said, “A loaf of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian; it came to a tent and struck it and the tent collapsed. Then the other soldier said, “This is nothing else but the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel! Into his hand God has delivered Midian and the whole camp” (Judges 7:13, 14).
Strengthened by God’s message, Gideon took his 300 men and at midnight, they surrounded the enemy camp and shouted: “The sword of the Lord and of Gideon!” Then the three hundred blew their trumpets, and the Lord set every man’s sword against his companion throughout the whole camp; and the army fled …” (Judges 7:20, 22). God gave Gideon the victory over his enemy with only 300!
So as we enter into the new year 2022, we enter it with the faith and boldness of Gideon’s 300, sending the fearful and doddling ones home to wait it out. Yet in waiting, some look at things and point fingers trying to lead from behind. This is a most unusual spiritual warfare battle and one that I gladly let the brave ones fight and pray for discernment on how to do whatever it is I am to do in these most wicked of days. Listening to music helps to inspire others when it is filled with a message of the Lord. It has the same effect as sounding the trumpets…depending on the song, to make people shout, “The Sword of the Lord and of Gideon!” (Replacing the name of Gideon with our modern day commander who happens to be “Trump”. And we cheer him on in the name of the Lord.
Music inspires us all. The right words lend joy and help many to stand without fear. Songs fill our hearts with faith and encouragement. The more powerful the words are that express our Lord in the song, greater is the measure of strength we draw from it. Words of God’s love and power put to music, fill the heart and keep ones mind focused on the Lord as it moves the spirit. So how then can anyone doubt, the devil does try hard to have others to denounce it?
Enjoy this song sent to me by someone who loves the Lord and said this was their favorite song. She said to me, regarding Hillsong…. “All I know is that this is my all time favorite song. It’s beautiful and a heart felt prayer to Jesus. Feel free to share it in your blog.”
Love this song sung by Leeland….don’t know their back story all I know is I appreciate this inspiring song…..
Another inspiring song of worship by Hillsong….
Don’t know if Elevation Workshop has a scandal…but I sure love this song….
Another great praise and worship song, and I do know Judy Jacobs is a child of God and knows how to PRAISE HIM LIKE NO OTHER!
This isn’t a worship and praise song, but it is very inspiring…..Not sure what sins may lurk in the lives of those who sang it…but… that doesn’t make it any less inspiring.
I don’t know Martin Smith, but this song moves me….it touches the heart.
Lauren Daigel has a voice that inspires millions….it doesn’t matter to me what rumors people want to whisper of her…the music touches the soul.
Another one of Lauren Daigle’s inspiring songs…. she has a voice that touches the heart.
I know nothing of this singer…I only know the voice, the story, the song, the music touches the heart.
I know nothing of Bethel Music, I only know this song is beautiful.
I know nothing of the singer of this…I only know the words are inspiring.
I love all of Karen Wheaton’s songs. This woman has a heart for the Lord and all the prodicals…She is most blessed!
Karen Wheaton has said that when discerning what is said of you…take it before the Lord and to discern it easily….simply ask if the words said of you are something the Lord God would say to you or are they something the devil would say to you? She said she learned that when people said bad things about her or to her… she knew neither God nor Jesus would say such things…. and she knew the devil would…so she then knew she had the devil angry enough to say lies to stop her. Therefore, she never listened and instead praised and thanked the Lord for the discernment.
Karen Wheaton went boldly on the platform of some very questionable ones…..she never pointed fingers….instead she shared the platform in the name of the Lord for the sake of speaking out and letting the youth stand – She boldly proclaimed the Lord and praised Him as in Psalm 23:5!
2022 is coming….get ready – put on the full armor of God. The spiritual warfare is revving up in full gear. They are coming for all who believe…. know how to combat the wickedness in high places!
KEEP ON PRESSING INTO THE KINGDOM….PRESS, PRESS, PRESS…….HOWEVER LONG IT TAKES….PRESS!

One of my favorite stories is that of Gideon. There was another reason the number of his army was so small. So that they could not take any credit for the victory. God shares his glory with no man. Salvation comes from the hearing of God’s preached word.
I have been waiting for the right moment to share an amazing discovery you helped me uncover, Dianne. Your words “The more powerful the words are that express our Lord in the song, greater is the measure of strength we draw from it.” Are ABSOLUTELY AND LITERALLY TRUE. Music does give us power, if it is of God. Other music, the noise of the enemy, it drains our power. I am talking about physical power- we can be boosted or filled with the power of God or we can have the same amount of power drained. The difference IS THE MUSIC. Let me explain…
I was a dance fitness instructor for 5 years. I found myself thru dance and with fitness I changed my life which in turn, changed my family’s life. When I stopped teaching classes, I built a gym at my house which became “Fight Club” as we focus on kick boxing. I have been working out every morning for this last year, alone in my gym. It was during this time I made my amazing discovery.
It is also important to mention that during this past year I began to incorporate some Christian music into my play list. Another thing I changed in my workout process is my prayers. Never before had I ever prayed during a workout. But this past year being the terror it was, pray I did. Can you guess what I discovered? The music I usually listened to (dance hall/hip hop) physically drained my power. I would have never noticed (as it had been doing this for years) had I not had the Christian music on my playlist. The difference is…. Well it’s God!
Suddenly my skills are as if I was a super hero! You know when Neo figures out how to fight in the Matrix? That happened (is happening) to me! I have done many tests to prove it to myself, because even I was doubting what was happening. When I thought I had figured it out but still wasn’t sure I prayed “Show me”. And show me He did!
I know this sounds crazy but I swear this is happening to me. And I think it means something. I think God is showing me how he can use me/us to do impossible things. Thru God, I can fight and win amazing battles! Dianne, you are absolutely correct when you say God gives us strength. He doesn’t just emotional strength to carry on. God gives us physical power and strength and they Him we can do incredible things.
Do any of you work out? I’d love to know if you are experiencing anything like this. I have found that the more I train in The Spirit, the better I become. I truly believe this is what we are supposed to be pressing into. When the time comes to stand and fight, I know that God will use me to fight this evil invading our land. I think He is calling us to stand united for this coming storm. Together, with God, we can take defeat this enemy!
God has been telling me to share this discovery but I was waiting for the right words and the right time. I think the time has come.
Amen!!! OH YES I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE SAYING! IT IS SO! It has to do with vibrations and the POWER OF THE WORDS! WORDS DO HAVE POWER. And when you are empowered by God’s Words, by God’s meanings, God’s promises, God’s victory….you feel it and it vibrates every cell in your body, to me it is in one with the Holy Spirit! The Bible tells us the Cheribim and the Angels all sing praises to the Lord before the throne. It is that meaningful for us to also rejoice and praise in song and music and dance like David danced before the Lord. When it is from your heart and you receive the joy in the words… it is a blessing that others share with you…I can’t sing but I love to sing along. I do play drums but wish I could play stringed instruments. My talents are other things…but, there is certain music of songs of the Lord that touch the soul deeply and the 432 hertz and other hertz pitches touch every cell. Music and sound is vibration….all sound is vibration…and songs that vibrate the cells in a positive way, are mega doses of love and they cause the body to heal, to regenerate, to build the immune system. There is so much it does and most never see it nor feel it for they are listening to music that vibrates opposite and tears cells down. There is a way to send love out in song and instruments. You are absolutely right!
I can FEEL the music giving me power and boosting my energy so drastically when I am listening to music praising God. And I can also feel the true draining of power and energy when some songs play. It all came together for me after that public satanic ritual earlier this year at the AstroWorld concert. WhileTravis Scott played many dropped dead, just like they drained their power. That made me question all of the music I had been allowing to taint my life. I wouldn’t have put it all together had I not started to make some new playlists. I had to feel it for myself and the difference is drastic. Not only do I feel more energized and preform better, after every workout I feel closer to God. And, somehow, the Holy Spirit burns stronger. As if it is getting a workout along with me, honing skills, and sharpening perception. And while I workout different pieces of a … vision? keep popping into my head. Problem is, it’s like the vision is in a different language or as if it’s so out of focus that I can’t see what it is. I have pieces of it though. And sound is definitely involved. Particularly sound made for God like Gideon’s trumpets. There are other parts of the vision I am working out but for now, until I’m sure, I’ll keep them to myself.
Another thing that keeps popping up in my head is something I learned here, on this amazing site. They changed the music (was that Darby too or just at done the same time as the dispensations?) from the standard 432 hertz. Why would they do that? I really think there is more God given power that we have but we have been suppressed. And sound is related- specifically music. What don’t they want us to know? Just what CAN we do that they are so scared of? Perhaps it is a skill we need to fight the coming spiritual battle?
To me, sound is a gift of the Holy Spirit….it was able to tear down the walls of Jericho…it is greater than the lesser things of satan…it was all vibration…Let me explain…remember sound all sound is vibration. We can go back to the creation where God spoke all things into being. But, let’s stay with Jericho. Joshua was instructed to march around the walls…they were to march…and then to shout and then to sound the trumpets all at one time. They built an energy vortex marching around and around in the spirit of the Lord….vibrations….then at the right time…they shouted…more vibrations…then they sounded the blasts of the Trumpets….and the walls came tumbling down…like an opera singer bursting a glass! Vibrations…sonic boom! Each person with the Holy Spirit has the power to do as Jesus said…to say to this mountain be cast into the sea and it will be cast into the sea. This is Godly power and what the devil fears….this is what is in each of us…but because of lack of faith…and belief…we have not even tried to use it. Because of new age propaganda and witch craft…no one dares to even use the power of the Holy Spirit…they have not for they ask not. We must call upon the Lord to teach us how to use this gift for His good and His glory. We are vibrations and light. It is a God thing. Not a new age universal thing…that is how they scold us and corrupt us into not using the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Imagine what is possible with a remnant of God’s people who believe? It is mind boggling. But, just as Gideon’s 300 so shall the Lord’s remnant astound the masses throughout the world. Amen.
I forgot to add they also marched with the Holy of Holies carrying the Arc of the Covenant which was a huge conducter implated with gold…which is the strongest conductor of energy known to man and where the Lord Himself resided inside. And that in and of itself was an energy vortex par excellent! According to Joshua 6 1–27; the walls of Jericho fell after they marched every day once for six days around the city and seven times on the seventh day they shouted in a roar, then blew their trumpets.”
The Ark of the Covenant appears and acts like a frequency-based wave-form weapon.
Joshua: 6: 10 “Do not give a war cry, do not raise your voices, do not say a word until the day I tell you to shout. Then shout!” 11 So he had the ark of the LORD carried around the city, circling it once. Then the army returned to camp and spent the night there. 12 Joshua got up early the next morning and the priests took up the ark of the LORD. 13 The seven priests carrying the seven trumpets went forward, marching before the ark of the LORD and blowing the trumpets. The armed men went ahead of them and the rear guard followed the ark of the LORD, while the trumpets kept sounding. 14 So on the second day they marched around the city once and returned to the camp. They did this for six days. 15 On the seventh day, they got up at daybreak and marched around the city seven times in the same manner, except that on that day they circled the city seven times. 16 The seventh time around, when the priests sounded the trumpet blast, Joshua commanded the army, “Shout! For the LORD has given you the city!
Now the lesson to remember in all of this…is that the arc is where the Holy of Holies resided withing…and today, the Lord in his promises and through his death and resurrection he has sent all who believe the Holy Spirit and He now dwells in YOU AS HE DID IN THE ARC….and now you are the TEMPLE THAT HOLDS THE HOLY OF HOLIES and this is the TRUTH THAT ALL EVIL HATES AND HIDES FROM YOU SO YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY UNDERSTANDING OF IT. SO THAT YOU WILL NOT CALL UPON THE LORD…SO YOU WILL FEEL UNWORTHY TO DO SO…AND SO THAT YOU WILL NEVER TRY TO USE THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND YOU WILL FEAR AND BELIEVE THE LORD IS NOT IN YOU. THESE ARE THE LIES THAT WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY FALSE SHEPHERDS. TO DENY THIS TRUTH IS TO DENY THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB WHO DIED FOR ALL. We have now become the Holy Arc of the Lord’s promises…his covenant…the new covenant….he dwells in us and we in Him and now we are the Temple….just as he told us. Amen.
I had to come back to read your words this morning. This sound thing… I think I dreamed about it…Or had a vision? I’m not sure what is happening to me, but it is getting stronger and sharper. This is what I see…
The truckers circling the capitol (dc or Ottawa?) over and over. They were told they were not allowed to park and block public roads. Instead of leaving, they drove their convoy around and around and around the capitol. As the days passed, their horns (trumpets?) started to blow at the same time. Then, the people came from all directions. Young and old were joined with rich and poor who locked hands with strangers who were once enemies. And the people sang and shouted and danced in The Spirit. All together lifting their voices with the trumpets. The power building is thick in the ozone as all of us sing. All singing as one words we didn’t know until the moment the song was placed in our hearts. And THIS IS HOW WE BEAT THIS ENEMY. TOGETHER. AS ONE. ALL PRESSING INTO THE SPIRIT.
I can’t explain what I see next as it is still shrouded in the mist. But I can tell what happens as it’s HUGE! A miracle happens that cannot be denied. It happens for all to see. The world witnesses this miracle and cannot deny the Holy intervention that has happened. I know that I see much destruction and horrible fighting- but it seems to be that we (all of us witnessing) watch the demons come out for all to see. And all (Unbelievers) will see the power of The Lord shine out of us (I see an actual bright light) to become our weapon for this battle. The Holy Spirit becomes our Spear of Destiny and together we bond together and defeat the enemy!
That is the calling…to stand and praise God in the streets around the world. That is the power of the remnant. Amen. Imagine a shout out together at the very same hour! Wow….amazing. That is what must be done.
No tickets, no speakers, no celebrity wanna be hacks… just a people called by God’s name together as one!
Yes! Oh what a wonderful day it will be!
Oh Tammi, tears of joy for you, sister in Christ, and the precious personal journey of growth God gently took you on. No doubt, more discoveries await you, at the feet of Jesus. Thank you for sharing your testimony…it inspires and encourages the family of God to press on in our own personal journeys. Yes, only God honoring music I allow in my ears (a personal choice made long ago). And yes, I love to exercise… and…especially to dance and worship the Lord with full abandonment. May Jesus bless you and take you to greater heights than you can ever imagine. Love & prayers, 💖🙏✝️🌠🤗 Debby
Happy New Year!! We move forward with hope and love in our hearts and minds. God is leading us into battle. Thank you Dianne for all of your hard work. Keep on pressing into the kingdom. Amen
And this is how it’s done!! Congrats on another great post!! Woohoo!!
No, I will not be setting a New Year’s resolution. Long ago, I chose to replace my New Yr resolution with one or two words (or a phrase) given to me by the Lord, inspired by Him to help me focus on him in the New Yr. The phrase or words are designed to meditate on all through the year, letting the Lord guide me in their meaning and letting him take them deep into my heart, soul, mind and spirit. I always write down my words/phrase, date it, and then post it in a very visible spot where I see it daily all throughout the year. This year, my words are:.
UNSHAKABLE & ANCHORED⚓
HAVE A GLORIOUS 2022, EVERYONE!! ALL FOR JESUS!! ✝️🌠💯🙏💖🎉🎊
