The One Thing We Know in Uncertain Times
When you know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you can be certain of one thing in any time of trouble, suffering, hardship, difficulty, pain or tragedy: the Lord is with you! Time and again in his Word, he assures you of his presence:
- “The LORD is with you when you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you” (2 Chronicles 15:2).
- “Stand firm and see the deliverance the LORD will give you . . . Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged” (2 Chronicles 20:17).
- “Do not be afraid of him, declares the LORD, for I am with you and will save you and deliver you from his hands” (Jeremiah 42:11).
- “Be strong, all you people of the land,” declares the LORD, “and work. For I am with you” (Haggai 2:4).
Jesus said the same thing to his disciples: “I am with you always” (Matthew 28:20).

TO ARTHUR GREEVES: On the meaning of interruptions and real life; on the difficulty of being patient; and on expiating through embracing one’s own sufferings.
20 December 1943
Things are pretty bad here. Minto’s varicose ulcer gets worse and worse, domestic help harder and harder to come by. Sometimes I am very unhappy, but less so than I have often been in what were (by external standards) better times.
The great thing, if one can, is to stop regarding all the unpleasant things as interruptions of one’s ‘own’, or ‘real’ life. The truth is of course that what one calls the interruptions are precisely one’s real life—the life God is sending one day by day: what one calls one’s ‘real life’ is a phantom of one’s own imagination. This at least is what I see at moments of insight: but it’s hard to remember it all the time—I know your problems must be much the same as mine (with the important difference that mine are of my own making, a very appropriate punishment and, like all God’s punishments, a chance for expiation.)
Isn’t it hard to go on being patient, to go on supplying sympathy? One’s stock of love turns out, when the testing time comes, to be so very inadequate: I suppose it is well that one should be forced to discover the fact!
I find too (do you?) that hard days drive one back on Nature. I don’t mean walks . . . but little sights and sounds seen at windows in odd moments.
I had a most vivid, tranquil dream about you the other night, just chatting in the old way. Let’s hope it will happen sometime. For the rest, I’ve no news.

Joey LeTourneau: "Preparing for Abundance" - Cody, WY Jan 30, 2024
"And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work." (2 Corinthians 9:8)
Have you ever felt those moments of antsiness while waiting for something or someone special? It's those moments where your spirit starts to feel full of that which you haven't received yet in the natural. Before something comes to life, there is an anticipation. There is tendency to feel antsy, like you don't know what to do with yourself, like a family member pacing in the waiting room knowing that a special life is being born just around the corner. continue >>>

[Editor's note: Below are the notes that Amanda Grace shared from during a recent interview on Elijah Streams. We encourage you to read through them and watch the episode right here.]
Prophetic word of the Lord – January 16, 2024:
ALL honor, praise, glory, and majesty be to the Holy One, the King of kings and the Lord of lords; the Righteous Judge who sits on the highest throne and weighs on the scales the matters of men. And to His Kingdom there is no end.
Altars Shall Crumble
And the Spirit of the Lord says this day, "I AM GOD. THERE IS NO OTHER. And though men in this hour attempt to erect such, attempt to build their altars and call out to their gods, they shall not hear or answer," says the Lord. And says the Lord of hosts, "Those altars shall crumble one by one, the altars erected by corrupted men in order to elevate themselves to a peak of a very tampered with power. I, the Lord thy God, the Righteous Judge, have issued 'Judge,ment' that they must COME DOWN," says the Lord. [Editor's note: Amanda purposely wrote 'Judge,ment' with a comma in the middle, as this is how God revealed it to her.] continue reading
