I was sitting in my quiet time spot (the East window of my upstairs bedroom) and spending some precious moments with my Heavenly Father. I was listening to Holy Holy Holy, beautifully and masterfully played by Terry MacAlmon. His arrangement of Holy Holy Holy will bring you to your knees. And so … I decided to google Holy Holy Holy and
found this site below. OH MY .. to see what God is doing all around the globe gladens the heart and encourages us that God is still on the throne, that there are millions upon millions who love him, need him and worship him. Even so come quickly Lord Jesus.
This is holy week …. spend some time at the feet of Jesus in whatever way God provides for you this week. Worship Him. Bless His name….pay it forward and tell someone what God has done for you and what he promises to do for eternity.
And … if you don’t think God is moving across the earth, watch this! WOW. He who wins souls is wise.
America may be lukewarm toward Jesus, but there are people in need all over the globe and you’ll see that here.
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God almighty! Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee;
Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty God in three persons, blessed trinity!
Holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide thee – though the eye of sinful man thy glory may not see;
Only thou art holy, there is none beside thee Perfect in power, love, and purity
Holy, holy, holy! lord God almighty! All thy works shall praise thy name,
In earth, and sky, and sea; Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty God in three persons, blessed trinity!
18 The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”
19 Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field. But for Adam no suitable helper was found. 21 So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
23 The man said, ”This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman, for she was taken out of man.”
24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
25 The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.
Encouragement from the scriptures today and good words to remember no matter what our eyes see and our hears hear. Remember Psalm 119: 91 Your laws endure to this day, for all things serve you.
So there you have it, God’s word on the matter …
Here is what I sense God is saying to his children:
Christian … fear not, God is always in charge, and no matter what happens here on this earth, no matter the enslavement, no matter any hope that is dashed … remember “we win” …
Remember to love God’s statutes, do what is righteous and just, learn God’s ways, get discernment. God always sees when his laws are being broken, and God hates every wrong path.
Remember to love God’s name and let no sin rule over you, ask God to redeem you from the oppression of men . . . God knows his laws are not obeyed even though they are fully trustworthy and right … enemies of God ignore his words, but God’s servants love them. God’s servants do not forget God’s righteousness … even if we are troubled and distressed, God’s commands can still be our delight.
Ask God for understanding, call on God with all your heart…put your hope in God’s word .. meditate on God’s promises, not on all you see around you . . . God is near …
God established his laws to last forever, not just a few generations. Remember that
the wicked and God’s enemies do not seek out God’s decrees. God sees how you love his eternal ways … REJOICE in God’s promises. Continue to praise Him for his righteousness … continue to praise him…let your lips overflow with it … let your tongue sing of God’s words … CHOOSE his ways … let God’s law be your delight …
let God’s laws sustain you and if you have strayed ask God to seek you out.
Be not afraid. Jesus will come again and He will be looking for those who are looking for Him.
Luke: 21: 24b – 33 – Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. 25″There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. 26Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. 27At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” 29He told them this parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees. 30When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near. 31Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near. 32″I tell you the truth, this generation[b] will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 33Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
Do you think it’s possible to be wealthy and be truly happy?
I believe many wealthy people are happy. (whatever their idea of happiness is). Sometimes their sense of self worth is healthy and they are anything but depressed. They walk in prosperity, and perhaps are blessed enough to have the wisdom to be debt free. They are not “like the Jonses” they “are” the Joneses. They are, living their dream.
But, here, for me is the crux of the matter…… I believe there is really only one way to be truly happy, and it is this:
If we “want” for anything let it be to know and understand that if I am blessed with wealth it is a gift from God, his best for me and that God himself will keep me occupied wth gladness of heart. Let me not “desire riches”, let my soul desire God (Psalm 37:4 , Matthew 6:33) and trust that his best for me is his best for me. If God prospers me, let me not misuse or abuse the blessings God has given, Let me not forget the giver and source of my being and life, and let my soul praise Him and my life glorify Him with JOY all the days of my life.
God says: Ecclesiastes 5:18- 20- Then I realized that it is good and proper for a man to eat and drink, and to find satisfaction in his toilsome labor under the sun during the few days of life God has given him—for this is his lot. 19 Moreover, when God gives any man wealth and possessions, and enables him to enjoy them, to accept his lot and be happy in his work—this is a gift of God. 20 He seldom reflects on the days of his life, because God keeps him occupied with gladness of heart.
Proverbs 10: 22 – The blessing of the LORD brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it. (NIV)
Proverbs 12:11 -He who works his land will have abundant food, but he who chases fantasies lacks judgment.
On February 12, 2010, President Préval of Haiti called his nation to 3 days of fasting and prayer in place of the regular Mardi Gras celebration. Several of the Nations Christian Leaders had 5 days to set up and arrange this event, Pastor Rene Joseph of Loving Hands Ministry was one of the head leaders and over 1 million Haitians attended this epic event. http://lovinghandsministryhaiti.com/
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14
15Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words. 16They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren’t swayed by men, because you pay no attention to who they are. 17Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?” 18But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, “You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? 19Show me the coin used for paying the tax.” They brought him a denarius, 20and he asked them, “Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?” 21“Caesar’s,” they replied.
Then he said to them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” 22When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.
I took a taste. They are crispy and very yummy. Savory and great for dipping. They held upfairly well in the dehydrator, but I think I will make the batter a bit thicker (like loose jelly) sothat they will be just a little thicker. Some of them (not too many) had some cracks and/or holesin them. BUT they turned out great nonetheless. We won’t be using these so much for dipping, butmore for snacking if we’re watching a movie. These chips and a tall glass of your favorite iced beverage will make a wholesome snack. Great fiber with lots of flavor.
Equipment needed:
High power blender such as a Vitamix or Blendtec
Dehydrator: such as an Excalibur
Ingredients:
REMEMBER TO SOAK YOUR SEEDS THE NIGHT BEFORE (saves time)
• Soak 2/3 cup flax seeds (golden or amber) in 2 cups water … let stand overnight
• Soak 1/2 cup chia seeds (black or white) in 5 cups water … let stand overnight
• 5 cups water • 1 cup celery seed (rough chopped)
• 1/2 lime (remove it from the skin of course before inserting it into the blender) • 10 cloves garlic (I use already peeled from Costco)
• 1 medium onion • 1/4 tspn chipotle (or some kind of hot spicey powder)
1 Tbsp or more oregano (fresh or dried … I used dried)
• Water enough to make it thin (2-3 cups or more, added 1 cup at a time) Batter should be runny but not drippy. The thicker the batter, the thicker the cracker.
Mix all ingredients in vita-mixer. Start slow and bring it up slowly. Blend for 30 seconds or so. Stir in a few flax seeds just for decoration. Drop by tablespoonfuls on sheet (4 across). They will not run more than what you see as you drop them on the sheet, but if the batter is too thin they make crack. So make the batter about the consistency of loose jelly. They will thing out more they dehydrate. They may even curl for you giving you a wonderful little “scoop” for your dips/spreads.
Temperature 105 – 115 (no higher or you live enzymes die.
After you turn them the first time, sprinkle sesame seeds (or whatever else you’d like) on them. YUM !
Ideas/comments and suggestions: These chips are very tasty. The batter I made was very runny and due to the high water content it produced a very very think cracker. A few of them had some little holes in them. I didn’t mind that though because I like a very thin CRUNCHY cracker. It fools me into thinking I’m eating a potatoe chip which I love (and to be honest) miss. But if you like yours a bit thicker, just add about 1/2 cup more of hydrated seeds. That should do the trick.
They take anywhere from 12-16 hours to fully dry. Do not turn them too soon or they will be hard to seperate from the surface. Let them dry a good 11-12 hours before flipping. The recipe will easily make enough for about 300 crackers. I’ve putting my second batch into the dehydrator in a few hours, and I already have 144 (16 per tray x 9 trays) made. So you can easily feed a crowd or your family for a few weeks. They’ll keep in the fridge for a long time. You could, of course change up the spices to suit your taste.
They are wonderful.

Did you Know? * Green peppers are not ripe and they are hard to digest. Use red/yellow/or orange.
* Black pepper made from peppercorns that are green, not Ripe, they dry them and that’s how they turn black. These “un-ripened” seeds are very hard on the digestive system. But red & white pepper is made from ripe peppers.
* GARLIC BREATH! Removing the little green part in the center of the garlic will eliminate garlic breath. WHY? Well, our bodies can not properly digest it, and it therefore creates garlic breath. Simply cut the clove in half and remove the green little seed looking part. It only takes a second. By the way I have noticed that not all cloves have this green little part, so don’t go crazy looking for it.
