The YITN and...Bishop, <BR/><BR/>THAT and THIS is excellent! The YITN and the combo of the pics, stunning. The connection and flow of the words, especially. <BR/><BR/>A writer I knew told me a story of a 1000 word article. --- The charge was $2500, the publisher said, “We only pay 50 cents per word”. the writer replied, “Oh, I can give you 100 words at 50 cents a piece, but the particular order and choice of words is an added $2 per word”. <BR/><BR/>You have clearly added several times over to the value of each word in YITN, and especially this one. The pics compliment the horizons of the words selected. <BR/><BR/>---- ‘Today I will drink freely of the water of life and be totally satisfied and filled. Out of my own belly will flow rivers of living water. I am filled with the Spirit! ‘----- My favorite of this post . <BR/><BR/>Yes, this is true. As we drink, we absorb and are ripened at the natural and spiritual molecular level, as the water of life nourishes us, we ripen, and then from our ripening, we become the harvest, and living nourishment flows from us. <BR/><BR/>2009 is fruit of the vine.Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09639126458428187942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-228928307880855952009-01-01T02:36:00.000-05:002009-01-01T02:36:00.000-05:00HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!To be honest I really wasn't ...HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!<BR/><BR/>To be honest I really wasn't sure if I was going to come to the church for the New Year Eve Celebration. I'm glad I did. <BR/>The spirit was moving in me. I missed Sunday for reason's that are in the past. Reason I wasn't sure about last night / this morning was what was at the entrance to the church & also crazy drivers. The roads were light and where I drove no one hardly was there. YEA <BR/><BR/>This is for Mama Swilley & Daddy Swilley. Love seeing you at the services. I love that you are very close to your son and his family & his extended family. <BR/>Mama Swilley you really put me so much in mind of my parents.

No doubt about it, there have been certain things we have said or done in this past year that we have come to regret.<BR/>Wouldn't it be great to just start over again? In reality, as a Christian you can have a fresh start. The new year is still a blank slate. There are opportunities ahead of you. You decide which path you are going to walk in this coming year. "Thus says the LORD: 'Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; then you will find rest for your souls'" (Jeremiah 6:16). You decide what your priorities are going to be. You decide which direction you are going to take, each and every day.<BR/>Maybe some of us need a fresh start in this coming year. Here is a great opportunity to make a new commitment. We don't know what the new year is going to bring. We don't know what problems we are going to encounter. We don't know what changes are going to come. We don't know what blessings the Lord has in store for us. But whatever the new year holds, we don't have to be afraid because Jesus Christ is going to be waiting there for us.<BR/>I like the words of that wonderful woman of God, Corrie ten Boom, who said, "Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God."<BR/>God is in control of your future. He is ready to bless you in this coming year<BR/><BR/>Bishop and all you Bloggers have a great great great.....

The year of (yep, that's right)...<BR/>...New Beginnings.<BR/>After 365 days, I think I probably heard every message imaginable about the number eight (8).<BR/>From areas of relationships to finance, issues of health and areas of leadership, the hope for a New Beginning was indeed high on the hearts and minds of believers both young and old this year.<BR/>Now I am not in any way what you call a great practitioner of biblical numerology, but I took a few moments out the other day to research the significance of the number nine (9). Just seemed like a cool thing to do on the eve of 2009. Needless to say, I was a bit surprised at what I discovered.<BR/>The number nine (9) literally means: to bring to an end.<BR/>In fact, in one instance, I found that the number (9) means: to bring a judgment (or conclusion) to.<BR/>Not exactly the kind of words you'd expect people to pack out a sanctuary or tear up a few pews in order to hear this evening. <BR/>To bring to an end.<BR/>To bring to a conclusion.<BR/>To bring a judgment to.<BR/>Pretty far cry from the usual New Year phrases we've coined and embraced in the past like...<BR/>The Year of Divine Favor.<BR/>The Year of a New Beginning.<BR/>The Year of Release.<BR/><BR/>I actually heard that one church already coined the phrase: All Will Be Fine...in 2009!<BR/>It kinda makes you wonder...<BR/>...what will God say (about 2009) on tonight?<BR/>Well, while millions across the nation prepare themselves to hear the answer, I want to leave you with a quote I came across recently that summarizes what I want my 2009 to look like.<BR/>"The oppression of the poor isn't driven by the power of the oppressor, but (rather) the vulnerability of the oppressed." - Gary Haugen<BR/>As you prepare for tonight, it is my prayer that 2009 will be a year that you and I will put an end to our excuses. A year that you and I will no longer blame any oppressor, spiritual or natural, for the things we desire to accomplish in our lives next year. <BR/>2009 is indeed going to be a great year.<BR/>But it may be one that involves will bringing an end to some things.<BR/>2009 is not a year for to be lazy and vulnerable. We can no longer wait on God to bring a conclusion to something He has already empowered us to do. <BR/>This year involves succeeding at obtainable goals, just as much as it involves reaching for some impossible ones. This year, you and I must become (sorry for the dirty word here)...responsible.<BR/>Tonight, be careful not to become too consumed with asking God (yet again) to begin some new things in your life, without examining the things He has also told you to bring to an end.<BR/>Although it may not be comfortable and popular, it is time.<BR/>Happy New Year!<BR/>(In fact, make it more than happy. Make it productive!!)<BR/><BR/>Happy New Year 2009 to All<BR/>WITH LOVE<BR/>KettlyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-52488703774834596462008-12-31T15:34:00.000-05:002008-12-31T15:34:00.000-05:00I just found this out from Yahoo news, which goes ...I just found this out from Yahoo news, which goes well with the 6th picture with the planets lined up.<BR/>Here's the print:<BR/><BR/>A delightful display of planets and the moon will occur on New Year's Eve for anyone wishing to step outside and look up just after sunset.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Venus, brighter than all other planets and stars, will dangle just below the thin crescent moon in the southwestern sky. It'll be visible -- impossible to miss, in fact -- just as the sun goes down, assuming skies are cloud-free.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Soon thereafter, Mercury and Jupiter will show up hugging the south-southwestern horizon (just above where the sun went down) and extremely close to each other. Jupiter is very bright and easy to spot; Mercury is faint and harder to see, but it'll be apparent by its location just to the left of Jupiter.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Jupiter and Mercury will set less than an hour after the sun, so timing your viewing just after sunset is crucial. You'll also need a location with a clear view of the western horizon, unobstructed by buildings, trees or mountains.<BR/><BR/><BR/>All the planets, along with the moon and sun, traverse an arc across our sky called the ecliptic, which corresponds to the plane in space that they all roughly share. For this reason, you could draw an imaginary line from the general location of Venus and the moon, down through the other two planets, and the line would point to where the sun went down. This line could also initially help you find Jupiter and Mercury. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Weather permitting, you can get a preview of the sky show on Tuesday, Dec. 30. On this evening, the planets will be in nearly the same place they'll be on Dec. 31, but the moon will be midway between Venus and the Mercury-Jupiter pairing.<BR/><BR/><BR/>One last trick: <BR/><BR/><BR/>Venus is so bright you can see it during daylight if you know where to look. Given Venus' proximity to the moon on New Year's Eve, this would be an excellent moment -- just before sunset -- to use the moon to help you find Venus and gain bragging rights for being one of the few people to be able to claim seeing more than one planet during the daytime (Earth being the other one).<BR/><BR/>Gallery: Moon Images <BR/>Skywatcher's Guide to the Moon <BR/>Top 5 Amazing Astronomy Discoveries in 2008 <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>Original Story: Celestial Show Set for New Year's Eve<BR/>SPACE.com offers rich and compelling content about space science, travel and exploration as well as astronomy, technology, business news and more.

HIS WORDS equal to HIM because HE is in HIS words and HIS words remain in HIM, they are ONE. One with the word, and the word one with him.<BR/><BR/>On the cross He also said "it is done, or it is finished", a fulfillment...yet He continued to speak on a new day when He resurrected. He breathed His last yet it was not His last.<BR/><BR/>Now also in Revelation there is a fulfillment when He says "it is done", yet He continues to speak on every day-TODAY. His rhema and that which continues to proceed out of His mouth...again what seems to be His last words...yet not His last.<BR/><BR/>...and our words also continue to speak when we breath our last and enter the great cloud of witnesses.<BR/><BR/>Also, I am done...makes me think of WELL DONE, good and faithful servant.

I didn't catch all of it so I listened to some yesterday and today while in the car.<BR/><BR/>Yesterday I was very angry and frustrated about some things and listening to music didn't help me.<BR/>Then I listened to the CD on the way to the library and the wit and transparent humor you used started breaking down my wall and I found myself chuckling and finally laughing a little...I really, really needed that at that time.<BR/><BR/>I remember you saying a couple of weeks ago how sometimes someone will write you and say how a joke or humorous situation you mentioned was the very thing that helped them, and now I'm understanding that more now for myself. Thank you!<BR/><BR/>Also, this morning before coming here, I had some "me" time at Cracker Barrell...needed that too after a previous difficult evening which included a $105 fine from Porterdale Police...more on that later if there's time.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, at the table next to me there was a young man, who at least 7 times during 20 minutes, was talking, and said "I'M HAPPY INSIDE!".<BR/><BR/>Several times this was really annoying me!...then I thought, "why is this annoying me?"<BR/>Was he loud? Was I upset because I wasn't that happy inside?...and I really couldn't say it that positively? Why?<BR/><BR/>I can't think of the proper word that won't offend. My brother has a severe mental handicap and lives in an institution, but this man, let's just say he was "unique", and child-like. I'm getting back to your CD in a minute...this leads up to that.<BR/>Anyway, I had glanced at Matthew 6 and it made me think about "not worrying"-which made me think about being child-like and being "happy"...there's that word again, and my wanting to live in happy freedom because you said that some people had gotten so used to slavery that they don't know how to be happy.<BR/><BR/>So I'm listening to you on the way here, I'm starting to chuckle again and then I'm literally weeping in my car, in the parking lot, going through a few saved fast food napkins wiping off my tears...when you started saying, "IT'S OKAY TO BE HAPPY!", "It's okay to enjoy yourself, and expect the best out of your future", "the joy of the Lord is your strength-rejoice in the Lord"...I breathed, then I wept again a little.<BR/><BR/>The Lord used these words to incredibly minister to me today, and just as important, I believe, was the laughter.<BR/><BR/>Thank you Bishop. I pray the Lord continue to increase your wit, humor, insight and revelation and the way the Holy Spirit delivers it through you to us, and that you are also greatly strengthened and edified in the process with many blessings!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-12293394410632769892008-12-31T14:24:00.000-05:002008-12-31T14:24:00.000-05:00Hey Karl,missing our weekly surprise meeting at th...Hey Karl,<BR/><BR/>missing our weekly surprise meeting at the library. Since my computer(s) are taking a rest (LOL), I am at DOL. Don't tell anyone but there is no limit on time unless others need it. It is just for a moment but I am glad your baby had his Christmas wishes come true. God is truly good!<BR/><BR/>love, Water WalkerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-50187423809446432962008-12-31T14:21:00.000-05:002008-12-31T14:21:00.000-05:00To Bishop, My co-BITN bloggers, there are absolute...To Bishop, My co-BITN bloggers, there are absolutely so many things I have learned this year and it is very much like you Bishop to tap into what is on everyone's hearts and in their spirits. Let me say that I have attempted several times to post comments and I have been put on somewhat of a fast as my laptop is in repair and my CPU appears to have a virus. Therefore, I am subjected to public computers, but God has totally taught me another level of being abased and abound and being content in all things yet always seeking the kingdom of God in everything.<BR/><BR/>The Lord is birthing a business in me that seemed like was aborted because it was 7 years premature, so I have learned (I am learning in the now) the timing of God is very different than our time.<BR/><BR/>And because I am a visionary, I can see it long before the manifestation, so I am learning to let patience have it's perfect work.<BR/><BR/> I will say that God has established the writer in me, (only because He says it is so) and I am like you Bishop in that I have to be lead by the spirit with summing up just how much God has done for me, through me, in spirit of me. I love to write so much that not only is it a blessing to get paid to write but it is a bonus because I realize this is part of my purpose here in the earth. I have posted so much on this blog and it has been very gratifying to know that you guys feel me and that you receive my writings. I have been truly blessed to read these powerful thoughts and comments by very gifted artists and writers. And blurkers, you are loved as well. WE continue to covet your prayers.<BR/><BR/>Blog in the Now has absolutely grown and stretched and I really love it on many different levels. I love the spirits here and the love and support we give one to the other and although I know about half in the natural, I am delighted to read the entries and look forward to them and when I am traveling or away, you all are missed.<BR/><BR/>Bishop, you must also know that there has been a very cool connection between the regular bloggers and a different community as we commune regularly with each other. I really have felt the prayers and support and I knew I could stand because people really loved me. <BR/><BR/>The functional body of Christ is truly God's hands extended in the earth as I have received prayer and deep intercession (as I have given prayer and intercession) and support and love and encouragement and exaltation, information and wisdom and just to sum it up, just a truly awesome exchange ~ spirit to spirit. <BR/><BR/>And this blog has allowed me to truly walk on water in ways I never imagined through many difficult storms, however there is something really very unique when you know you have true believers and your spiritual head covering your tests with prayers.<BR/><BR/>For all of these blessings I am grateful and words cannot truly do justice to the heart felt gratitude I have for you all.<BR/><BR/>I love you all and I pray many blessings for the hours of seeds sown here and for the labor of love with intercession and outpour of creativity and compassion in this year coming of new birth(s) for your ministries, your businesses, your family, your relationships.<BR/><BR/>eternal love, Water WalkerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-30622952981669315602008-12-31T14:14:00.000-05:002008-12-31T14:14:00.000-05:00To Bishop, My co-BITN bloggers, there are absolute...To Bishop, My co-BITN bloggers, there are absolutely so many things I have learned this year and it is very much like you Bishop to tap into what is on everyone's hearts and in their spirits.
