Daily Walk – July 2024

Urgency – Part Three DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – July 1ST,2024 (5784)

It is Canada’s Birthday today!

The word urgency takes my mind to Ezekiel 12:28 in the New International Version, “Therefore say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: None of my words will be delayed any longer; whatever I say will be fulfilled, declares the Sovereign LORD.”   It is a soon, suddenly, without delay.  God always tells us what is about to happen.  The urgency can be like Prophet Isaiah who declared Jesus’s coming 700 years before He came to Prophet Hank Kunneman who said in 2019, we are entering into the decade of difference.  You are a prophet over your own life, and God speaks to you every single day, and you can hear Him if you are listening.  He might say as you are driving, avoid that street and turn here.  If you obey, you might get a text message from someone who asked if you are alright, as there was a major accident on your normal route at the same time you normally drive there.  Look how many people heard God and didn’t go to work the day the planes crashed into the towers.  How many people didn’t hear God or simply didn’t obey His voice.

God always, always, I repeat, ALWAYS, tells us what He is going to do before He does it.  I tell you constantly to pray over your children, pray over their lunches, pray over their sleeping not because it gives you something to pray over, but because you have an enemy who carries fiery darts to pierce the hearts of God’s children.  How many children are saved during a school shooting because they have prayer coverage and angels and God Himself covering them, hiding them in plain sight.

Is there an urgency in your life you are not listening too and obeying what is being told to you?  Stand in your today and look at your tomorrow and see what it is.

A WORD from the LORD  DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – July 2ND,2024 (5784)

On April 28th, 2024, I heard, “Come Up Higher.”

“Where have the men gone?  Where have they hidden themselves?  Where are the men willing to go to war to protect their families?  Dressed in make-up and heels.  Drowning in alcohol and drugs. Focused on success instead of family.

“Where did women go?  Pajamas in the mall, instead of meals on the table.  Children raising themselves.  Women are ill prepared for caring for babies and children.  Screens have become babysitters.  Educators have taken over as social elites in their children’s lives.  Hungry for success, hungry for substances, hungry for lust, hungry for fear.

“Families are paralyzed because they the parents are not parents.  Step back and look and ask, do I want my present to be my future?

“But we are not those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved.”  (Hebrews 10: 39; NIV)

Editing Tina:  Recently the United States changed the draft laws to include women.  What would you do if you receive a draft notice or your spouse?  Take a look at our world today.  I pray constantly for peace over Israel, Canada, the United States, as well as around the world, but especially my hometown.   

Vision  DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – July 3RD,2024 (5784)

Vision is the language of Holy Spirit and is the ability to see what others cannot.  Vision lives in your tomorrow and you need to pull that vision into your today with your words and actions.  Vision is fueled by your faith and determination, with a handful of focus.  If you are not doing something and focusing on your vision, it will not come to pass.

Let’s break this down to simplicity.  You have dirty dishes in the sink that need to be washed.  Your children need a drive to youth group.  As you walk out the door, you remember that your youngest child needs to wear a yellow shirt to school the next day, and you totally forgot to go to the store and buy them one.  What you think about, you bring about.  Of course you had all this written down in your notebook, right?  The most important thing, you do first which is drive your children to youth group.  You go to the store and buy that yellow shirt, and then if time permits before picking up your children, you go home and do dishes. 

In order for your vision to come to pass you need to write down the vision, make it plain so you can see it as you run.  You must speak out your vision, daily.  Your words create a picture, and that picture becomes clearer as you move towards it.  Describe what you see in faith, and faith combined with action will cause that vision to come to pass.  More tomorrow.

Vision – Part Two  DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – July 4TH,2024 (5784)

Happy Birthday, United States.  That name is prophecy…United.

We are talking about creating a vision and that vision coming to pass.  Yesterday we said, you need to write down your vision and make it plain, plain enough you can read it on the go.  Your faith filled words will create a picture, and by your releasing it into the atmosphere, Jesus will gather your words and create what was spoken. 

Prophet Robin D. Bullock told a story on June 16th, 2024, during the Church International church service, about 11 people who were on shore, and needed to get upstream.  You have a boat but can only pick up 10 people.  He goes through many options, but God in the end told him, push the most mature off the boat, and come back and get him.   God asked him what the most important thing in the story is.  Robin replied, the people.  God said, “no, it is the boat.”  Without the boat, no one gets saved. 

Without your vision, nothing will happen.  Most people float downstream on innertubes without any direction, they just go with the flow.  There is one direction to go, and the stream will decide where to take you.  The boat needs fuel, maintenance and someone to steer the boat wherever they want to go.  The boat costs money, your time and energy, knowledge of how to operate the boat, and it must be done safely.  The same goes for your vision.  More tomorrow.

Vision – Part Three  DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – July 5TH,2024 (5784)

Suppose your vision is to own your own home or to move to a different location.  So, you go to God, and say, “Your word says, I can ask in faith and in Jesus’s name, you will grant me my request, because you always say yes, and amen.” 

God’s Word does say that, but what are you asking?  “I want a house.”  Okay, God does promise that in the Word.   So, God gives you a run down, one-bedroom, tiny house.  Now, you look up to Heaven and say, that is not what I meant.  You are mad at God, because you received what you asked for, but not what you wanted.  The Word says, God will grant you the desires of your heart, according to your faith.  What happened?

            WRITE THE VISION AND MAKE IT PLAIN!  THAT IS A SCRIPTURE VERSE, FIND IT, MEMORIZE IT AND STAND ON IT.

I have a vision of my house; in fact, I have a photo of the house with its design tucked into the pages of one of my bibles.  HOWEVER, due to my wishy washy faith lately, as I wait for it to come to pass, I have unfocused my heart’s desires.  No wonder it hasn’t come to pass.  Now, I praise and thank God, for the house I am living in right now.  It is in a peaceful neighbourhood, and I have the Host posted around us to keep us safe.  Our dogs bark at the homeless and addicted as they walk down the alley.  We are comfortable, well fed and warm.  But it is not my hearts desire.

Since the beginning of the year, we have talked non-stop about Noah building an ark.  Noah built an ark, 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high.  They have found this ark, amazingly, because of an earthquake, it was revealed.  This happened in the LAST DAYS.  The time when Jesus said, ‘as in the days of Noah.”  Noah built an ark, and only eight people were saved.  Remember the other day, we talked about you owning a boat and there were 11 people to pick up and save, but only 10 people could be on the boat, so you had to make two trips.  God said, “the boat was the important thing in the story.”  More tomorrow.

Vision – Part Four  DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – July 6TH,2024 (5784)

We have been talking about your vision, that it needs to be written down and spoken over daily.  Your words create a picture.  Vision boards are made up of pictures.  You need to speak out your vision, so the earth can hear, and see your vision so it can manifest.  When God created the Earth, He saw the Earth within Himself and spoke those things at were not, as if they were.  God used His faith and created with His Words.  Faith works through love.  God is only love, there is no darkness in Him at all. 

You cannot please God without faith.  Faith is what makes the mountains move.  Mark 11:22 says, “Have faith in God,” or have the God kind of faith.  It also says in that passage, do not doubt in your heart.  To not doubt you have to trust that God can and is willing to bring the desires of your heart to pass.  In verse 25, it says you need to forgive others.  From what I understand, that means, hold no malice, anger, grief or slander against other people.  We are not called to like everyone, but we are called to love everyone.  We do not accept other peoples sins, not expected to live with other peoples sins, as Jesus said, leave your family and friends, if they hinder your walk with Him.

Faith is like a muscle in your body, it needs exercised.  God has given everyone a measure of faith, because faith is what gets you saved.  However, you must train yourself to believe more, to take hold of the Word and work it.  You don’t go from lifting five-pound weights to lifting one-hundred-pound weights.  You go step by step, from five to ten, to twenty to fifty.  You go from glory to glory, which simply means, you read the Word and test the Word.  You believe for a meal, to bags of groceries, to a stocked pantry.  You believe for a job, then a better job with better pay, to a job with awesome pay, bonuses and benefits.  God is the God of acceleration, so don’t get legalistic and think there are concrete divine steps you need to take.  More tomorrow.

Vision – Part Five  DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – July 7TH,2024 (5784)

Yesterday we talked about exercising our faith.  Faith runs on love, without love you cannot use faith.  Faith and fear cannot be in the same room together, as they cancel each other out.  Faith is needed to please God.  Faith is the avenue that your prayers ride on.  Faith is patient, and faith needs to grow.

We started off using a house for an example.  You can ask for a house, its biblical, but you need to know what you want.  You have to see it before you can have it.  For me, I want to move back into the country, so when I describe my property to God with my words, He can see it too.  If I say, land in the country, that is open for debate.  If I say, I want 360 acres, with houses, barns, shops, tractors, quads, fences, roads, a chicken coop, ponds and streams, gardens and horses, that gives a better description than just land.  However, that still isn’t descriptive enough though.  Down to the finest detail.

Now understand that God might move you from a rented apartment to a condo, to a small two-bedroom house, to your dream home.   Each step increases your faith.  Each step brings glory to God.  Each step shows you are obedient to God and are doing what He has asked of you.  Do not, ever, ever, compare yourself to someone else.  NEVER!  What God does for one, He will do for you.  God doesn’t have to do what you want done, in the time frame you want it done, and He doesn’t have to do it your way. 

Search the scriptures for what you want.  For example: “The fruit of that righteousness will be peace; its effect will be quietness and confidence forever.  My people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed places of rest.”  (Isaiah 32:17, 18; NIV)  There is a great place to start, your home right now.  The fruit of that righteousness will be peace.  The fruit…what kind of fruit is hanging on your tree?  Peace or anger?  Calm or chaos?  Make sure your home is on the right street.  I refuse to live on a street with a wicked name, or a street name that devalues me.  Give me a street name like Hope Street, or Faith Street, or Wealth Street, not Poverty Lane, Down street or Defeat Avenue. 

Begin your work there, but keep your vision out front of you.  Dream so Big, You Feel Breathless.  Ask for the house on the lake, with boats, three car garage, and two washing machines and dryers, if that is what you want.  Don’t ask for a cottage on the lake, an aluminum fishing boat and a clothesline, unless that is what you really want.  I heard Lance Wallnau say once, [Paraphrased], “Lord, why am I here?  I don’t understand why I am in this place.”  God said to him, “You are right where you asked to be.  Every time you spoke in tongues; you requested me to put you here.”  From the heart, the mouth speaks.  Holy Spirit knows the plans and purposes you were sent to earth to fulfill, down to the finest detail, and when you allow Him to pray through you, He will speak your destiny into existence.   More tomorrow.

Vision – Part Six  DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – July 8TH,2024 (5784)

Yesterday we talked about speaking your vision into existence.  By allowing Holy Spirit to speak through you, you become aligned with your destiny.  And this is where it gets hard.  You have to do the work to align yourself with that destiny.  We all came with a plan and purpose, and I blew it.  I know I did.  However, God can turn anything around and work all things out for good to those who love God.

We recently talked about Isaiah 32:17 and 18, in which it says, “its effect will be quietness and confidence forever.”  If you live in a house of chaos, that needs to be fixed, ASAP.  By wisdom, by God’s wisdom, it can be fixed.  First, to get faith operational, you need to get rid of all hate, anger, worry, depression, anxiety, gluttony, poverty mindedness, and fear.  If I can do it, so can you.  As you start to get rid of these things, you will find room for peace, joy, laughter, and fellowship with Elohim. 

Find your answers in the bible about who you really are and what you can have.  Listen to sermons, read books, but always check the Word.  I can tell you what worked for me, and I can give you scripture verses to stand on, however, each person is unique, and has a personalize destiny written by God’s own hand.  I grew up in an alcoholic home, married three times, bought foolishly, spoke foolishly, and it took years to get rid of all the junk in my trunk.  But through it all, God upheld me in His hand.  I leaped out of His hand, repented, got back into His hand, and jumped off again.  God tells me all the time, He is not mad at me, He is proud of me.  More tomorrow.

Vision – Part Seven DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – July 9TH,2024 (5784)

ARE YOU READY to apply your vision to your today?

“He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the LORD is the key to this treasure.”  (Isaiah 33:6; NIV)

God will supply the foundation for you to build on, He will also give you salvation, wisdom and knowledge on how to build your vision.  He has plans and purposes for you, to make you prosper.  The key is the fear of the LORD.  Remember LORD in all capital letters is the governmental part of God, the seed time, harvest time part of God.  What you sow you will reap.  Repentance is necessary to cancel a bad harvest.  Repentance means to turn away from and do no more.

I had to learn to forgive, to speak kind words, to stop worrying and to stop enabling myself and others.  This is what I believe today:  I am here for the souls of men.  I cannot fight for my family, friends, my neighbourhood, my country, if I cannot forgive, live in peace, speak in truth and not anger.  I am bold enough to tell demons to take a hike, demand of God and call out to my tomorrow.  I am not afraid to make a mistake.  If I do, I repent and go again.  God will work everything out for my good. 

You can’t hold on to hell’s economy and expect to be rich.  You cannot call people names and expect peace.  You cannot allow yourself to be abused and expect justice.  Do you want your dreams, goals and visions to come to pass.  First make God number one.  Number two is your calling and your family will find itself living the vision you have.  God is your source and supply, not your job, not your spouse, not the government, God.  God will not share His glory with anyone.  You were created to give glory to God.  Tomorrow I will share an important key to get your vision under way.

Vision – Part Eight DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – July 10TH,2024 (5784)

Write the vision down.  Create a vision board.  What do you see?

What can hinder your vision if you are married?  You need to be united with your spouse.  Remember the purpose of marriage is to become, just as Elohim is.  Elohim is the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  You need to share a vision.  That doesn’t mean you don’t have a personal vision, but it must be under the marriage vision.  For example, you want to live in an apartment in the downtown core, where there are restaurants, shopping, theatres, and parks.  Your spouse wants to move to a small town, and live a very simple life, homeschool the kids, and have them running around town like he did when he was young.  You cannot have a united marriage in separation.  You cannot have a divine marriage, if you are just living together.  You have to bring those visions together.  You have to make one vision out of two.  You both need to compromise.

If you are in a marriage like I was, where there is substance abuse, financial abuse, physical abuse, and no communication, you need to ask yourself, is this the vision?  Do you ever think you will have a united vision?  You cannot force anyone to walk with you.  You cannot force anyone to change.  Jesus said, if your wife, husband, family refuse to bow to the name of Jesus, leave.  Pick up your mat and walk.  Never will your house be at peace in chaos.  NEVER.  “The fruit of that righteousness will be peace.”   This should be the first goal you go after.  Faith is against fear, peace is against chaos, and joy is against anger.  You cannot have peace in a place of chaos.  Write the vision and make it plain.  You will have steps you need to take to reach that vision, but the only thing stopping you is yourself.

The fear of the LORD  DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – July 11TH,2024 (5784)

If you have been with us for awhile now, you know that LORD in the Old Testament is the governmental part of God.  The LORD is the one who hands you the harvest of the seeds you sown.  Some bibles do not use LORD with all capitals, some use GOD, while others just right Lord or God.  Get a bible that uses LORD, it will make your studying so much easier, as LORD and Lord are two different aspects of God.

In Prophet Robin D. Bullock’s book called, “God Is Absolutely Good”, he writes, “Elohim spelled this way, “God.”  The name YHVH is spelled “LORD.”  YHVH is also spelled “GOD.”  Adon, or Adonay 9master0 is spelled, “Lord.”  This is important to know because  it will help clarify many scripture verses and help you understand the roles of God playing out in your life. 

You have a name that your parents have given you, however, you are not just someone’s child, you may be someone’s spouse, someone’s employee, someone’s parent, someone’s best friend, someone’s uncle or aunt.  If you are a nurse, you are not a nurse to your children but a parent, although nursing might come into play now and again.  Can you imagine your children referring to you as nurse so and so.  “Nurse, nurse, can I go over to my friends house?”  Your child is talking to the wrong aspect of you.  How ridiculous would it be for your spouse to come to you and ask if they can have a cookie before dinner. 

God gets blamed for all kinds of things because people do not understand how the LORD works.  They encompass God into one role, forgetting that He is three in one, has a government built on laws, while He also has placed people called by His name into the earth who are not doing what they are supposed to be doing, and He gets blamed for doing what Satan has done.

The fear of the LORD – Part Two  DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – July 12TH,2024 (5784)

The fear of the LORD is one of the greatest pleasures to experience in your Christian Walk.  We do not fear to approach him, or get afraid of seeking Him out, we are afraid of the harvest He is holding for us.  The LORD is that part of God who hands out the harvest of the seeds we have sown.  “God will never be mocked!  For what you plant will always be the very thing you harvest.  The harvest you reap reveals the seed that you planted.”  (Galatians 6:7,8; TPT)  The Old Testament says, “As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.”  (Genesis 8:22; NIV)

The Old Testament is just as relevant today as it was yesterday as it will be tomorrow.  The only thing in existence that will never fade away is God’s Word.  God doesn’t change like shifting shadows. 

In the Old Testament they had to sacrifice animals, but since 70 AD they haven’t sacrificed any animals.  We are now saved and sanctified by what Jesus did for us.  Our sins can be erased by the blood of Jesus.  Repentance is asking for forgiveness and receiving that forgiveness.  It means you will not do what you repented for again.  Our flesh wants to walk one way, and our spirit another way.  That is why our spirit’s are over our soul’s and flesh.  You need to cancel a bad harvest by repentance, by admitting you sinned, using Jesus’s name to wash you clean and then praise God.

The fear of the LORD – Part Three  DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – July 13TH,2024 (5784)

We are talking about the LORD, who is the governmental part of God.  The Seed Time, Harvest Time part.  In Isaiah 30:20 and 21, Holy Spirit is prophesied about.  “Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them.  Whether you turn to the right or the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “this is the way, walk in it.”

The Lord gives you bread.  Bread is your seed to sow.  Jesus is the bread.  You are supposed to be sowing Jesus seeds.  “He will also send you rain for the seed you sow in the ground and the food that comes from the land will be rich and plentiful.”  (Isaiah 23; NIV)  In the Parable of the Sower, Jesus tells us our harvest that comes from planting seed will be 30, 60, 100- fold or times, [depending on your bible version].  That means we get to choose the multiplication on our seed.  All seed planted will produce a harvest, whether it is a good or bad harvest depends on the seed you have sown.

Throughout the Word, we are told that Holy Spirit is our teacher and guide.  He is the one who brings conviction, which is His way of saying to you, “you are planting the wrong seeds, and will receive a multiplication for harvest back.  Repent and praise.”  Sometimes I have felt a gentle nudge and sometimes, it feels like I am thumb tacked to the wall, shaken awake by Holy Spirit.  Sometimes, I receive a harvest and can’t understand where it came from until I look back and see the seeds I have sown.  Remember God is not mocked, what you sow you reap.

The fear of the LORD – Part Four  DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – July 14TH,2024 (5784)

I want you to understand that God is not looking down from Heaven just waiting to smack you with a bad harvest.  He will do everything possible to shake you awake, to see what is coming, so you can repent and start sowing good seeds.  In chapter nine of 2 Corinthians at the end of it, it talks about sowing generously.  In verse 10 of the New International Version it says, “Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.” 

The more you give away and plant, the greater your harvest will be.  The more of Jesus you plant, the more Jesus you will receive back.  God is your source and supply.  If you walk around complaining, gossiping, hating, guess what is coming back at you?  If you love, give and praise, guess what is coming back at you?

Now remember, Satan hates you, and will immediately come after your seeds, as explained in the Parable of the Sower.  He wants to destroy you, by any means necessary.  I have been declaring and challenging for much in the spiritual realm lately, interceding for my country, my city, my family, for you and myself.  The other day, I woke up with a sore throat.  This sore throat is not from God, God doesn’t send sickness and disease, but Satan does. 

If you have read, “Demand of Me Like I Demand of You,” on the website threecrossescanda.com, you will see that I entered the Courtroom of Heaven and put a petition before the throne.  I promised to stretch every day, and well, it has been a bit of a sore spot of obedience on my part.  I haven’t made it a priority to do every day.  I repented, praised God for my healing, acknowledging that Jesus was crushed, punished, and wounded for me to have health, to be healed, and be at peace.  (Isaiah 53)  Satan will take everything you got to weaken you so you fall victim to his ways, his thoughts and his harvest for you.

 Rosie the Riveter –  DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – July 16TH,2024 (5784)

At work, we have industrial sized garbage beds, and the company who owns them wanted them named, and my place of employment had a contest for names of women who could become the name of our garbage bed.  I chose Rosie the Riveter. 

Although Rosie is a made-up person, she represents all the women during World War Two, who spoke victory.  They spoke victory over their husband’s and sons’ and daughters who went off to war.  They spoke victory over the factory jobs they were forced to go too.  They spoke victory over rationing, raising children alone and over the news reports from the front.  They spoke victory over gardens, the wounded and the flags of their countries.  Although Rosie really wasn’t a real person, she embodied the unity of all women during this time.  These brave women recycled everything from pots and pans to bacon grease.  They sacrificed everything they had for a common effort, to destroy evil, to put it down, and have victory.  

These women who lived during this time had grit, determination and a desire to do everything they could to accomplish, victory.  They were forced into factories; it wasn’t an option for them.  Some factories were open seven days a week, and they worked 12, 16-hour shifts.  Most didn’t have a clue how to garden, but they picked up their shovels and learned to plant and harvest.  They took adult coats and cut them and sewed them into children’s coats.  They did the seemingly impossible and made it possible. 

In Britain, people ran to bomb shelters in the dark because light was forbidden at night.  The mothers of many of the children sent them away to protect them, some into the country and some to different countries.  Rationing was world-wide, extending to 1955 in some countries.  Fuel was rationed, clothing and fabric were rationed, shoes were rationed, and everyone from the royal palace to the poorest of the poor lived it. 

Are you in the same category as Rosie the Riveter?  Are you able to say, I belong in that group?  Remember, these women were united in a cause to put down evil at all costs.  No sacrifice was too much.  Think about that.   Think about how these women lived their daily lives, especially in Britain.  They didn’t let their panties fall off their hips.

Rosie the Riveter – Part 2 –  DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – July 17TH,2024 (5784)

Yesterday, I introduced to you to a made-up woman who really is the embodiment of all women during World War Two.  Rosie was intended to be a poster model that gave the women of the time a feeling of empowerment to get the job done at any and all cost.  Women at that time were doing things they had never done before.  They were building bombs, airplanes and women were the test pilots for these planes before being shipped off to war.  They were electricians working in the shipyards, and welders as well.

Many women who had young children stayed home, and cared for their neighbors’ children, knitted gloves and sweaters for the soldiers, assisted in making bandages, canning fruit to send overseas.  Many women took in children from Britain to care for them to keep them safe.  They supported the women who lost husband’s and children during the war.  This simple poster of a woman named, Rosie the Riveter, aided the war effort in bolstering the ability of women who were pressured to perform to their highest level, because that was what was needed to have victory during the war.

I have noticed, women of today, take life as it comes.  They want a lot, without effort.  They want it now, no wait, they wanted it yesterday.  Work means effort, to seize something and to grasp ahold of it and not let it go.  I am not talking about abusive situations, staying because you made a bed and must stay within the sheets.  I am talking about having a fulfilling life, a life that might be difficult, but is rewarding and has victory. 

Rosie the Riveter is not a weak woman, she is a woman who was forced into a factory, to do a job that contributed to the war effort.  She worked 8 to 16 hours a day, at times seven days a week, went home, maybe to children, she still had a house to clean, make dinner, perhaps, had a garden to weed, socks to knit for the soldiers, and occasionally went to the dance hall Saturday night.  Rosie was the washing machine, the dishwasher, and maybe even the one who put wood or coal in the heater.   She was thankful for the cow’s tongue and the ox heart to cook for dinner, and valued the few fresh vegetables she could get at the shop.  The World was at war, and many nights, I imagine as she listened to the radio, the horrors from the front grieved her heart. 

Rosie wasn’t alone.  The streets, the cities and countries around the world were filled with her likeness.  Rosie became known as a woman who wouldn’t back down, she gained notoriety as the woman who ‘can’ do everything necessary to help win the war.  Prime Minster Churchill said in his first speech, “You ask, what is our aim?  I can answer in one word: It is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival.”

Victory at all costs –  DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – July 18TH,2024 (5784)

Yesterday we ended on Churchill’s first speech as Prime Minister, “Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival.” 

The wars are escalating.  There are warnings of cell group activity here in North America.  There are war ships in the waters.  God explained to me that He has different parts of His body training and teaching the body, that may seem to contradict each other.  Some prophets and teachers are training the body for warfare, some are training for preparedness, some are training for revival, and some are preparing for emergency blackouts.  Depending on where you live, will depend on how you are told to prepare.  Our theme for the year is, “Prepare the Way, Prepare the Way of the LORD God.”

Some prophets are saying, “Trump is going to win.  A turn around is coming.”  Some prophets are saying, “Market crash in 2025, leading to a depression worse than the 1930s.”  “Some are saying billion soul revival.”  “Some are saying World War three.”  Some are saying the United States will be attacked.

The prophets’ job is to tell what they see coming.  Prophets don’t get a whole picture; they see and know in part.  When you put the puzzle pieces together, you get a whole picture.  Our job is to pick up what the prophets say and pray and speak.  Sometimes we are called to rejoice and pray it comes to us, and sometimes we are to pray against it.   Sometimes, our prayer can destroy it from coming, and sometimes it must come, but we can lessen the effects of it, especially in our own lives. 

For example:  the prophets are calling for a market crash and a depression.  We speak against it coming, yet we are not ignorant of the fact that our world is at war, the governments in many countries are trillions of dollars in debt, the housing market is a mess, and there are food and medication shortages, whether on purpose or for some other reason.   A fool says in his heart, I heard that, and does nothing.  A wise person picks up that word, and prays against it touching themselves, their family, their city, their country.  They make sure they are faithful tithers and Sowers.  They start to prepare as directed by God, whether that is having some cash at home in case of a cyber-attack or the market crashes, a stockpile of food and water for both you and your pets. 

Victory at all costs – Part Two  DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – July 19TH,2024 (5784)

What victory looks like to you will be different for me.  God knows what you need in order to produce wealth.  Throughout the scriptures God says, our hands produce wealth, which means we work.   He says, if you don’t work, you don’t eat.  This is serious so pay attention.

Many people rely on the government to give them money in order to have shelter and eat.  Many people who have jobs work below their pay level.  Many people are deep in debt.  Many people live paycheque to paycheque, forgetting God.  In June we talked about the soldiers who guard the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and the discipline that they endure for this honoured position is amazing, yet we don’t honour God at all.  This is something God is calling me up higher on too.  How do you get blessings from God, by honouring Him, asking Him, obeying Him, and loving your neighbour as yourself.

If the prophets are right about 2025, the government will not be able to support the people like they have been.  Some prophets have come out and said there will be protests and riots in the streets, because there is no money to give.  If there is a depression, that means unemployment will skyrocket, food and shelter cheques in the mail will cease, and food banks and soup line ups will increase.   In today’s world, where many have no honour towards anything, will cause looting, shootings, and violence to flow in the streets.  Look at New York.  People just walk into malls in gangs and take what they want. 

It is said that most cities only have enough food in the grocery stores for three to five days.  If something happens, people are going to rush to the store and stockpile what they can.  Who is waiting outside of the store?  Men with guns?  Have you seen what happens on black Fridays?  No thank you, I will stay at home, and be safe.  You need to put on the mindset, Victory at all costs.

Victory at all costs – Part Two  DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – July 20TH,2024 (5784)

On July 16th, we talked about Rosie the Riveter and how she embodied all the women during World War Two.  She wasn’t a pansy, blowing in the wind.  She was strong, willing to learn a new way of doing things, she wasn’t lazy, and she didn’t complain.  We talked about what the prophets see coming, possible World War three, depression, market crashes, and terrorist attacks.  In 2023, our theme was “Be in Season, Out of SEASON.”  Are you prepared for the next season?

You might not have the time anymore to be fully prepared, but you still have time to start.  Your family is your priority, and it is your job and responsibility to be prepared for them.  What would happen if a family member had to flee their home due to a fire evacuation?  Are you prepared to take them in?  God says, someone who doesn’t take care of their family, is worse than an unbeliever. (1 Timothy 5:8)  

We have talked about the urgency of this situation to the point you might be thinking, here we go again.  Are you prepared?  Do you at least have three days of water, 7 is better.  What about food?  Do you have at least 3 days of food?  3 months is better.  Do you have a way to cook food if there is a power outage, if not, do you have food in the house you can eat out of the package?  Do you have candles and matches?   Do you have a first aide kit and medications? 

Look at the world today.  Wild storms, forest fires, earthquakes, floods, wars, inflation, food and medication shortages.  It’s too late to start a garden this year, but buy your seeds for next year, because we might have a seed shortage next year.  Learn to preserve food now.  Buy that pressure canner, or dehydrator. 

Get your focus off your circumstances and look towards God.  If you are looking down, you will never see what is coming. 

Lady Wisdom builds a lovely home  DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – July 21TH,2024 (5784)

“Lady Wisdom builds a lovely home…An honest life shows respect for GOD.”  As soon as I read Proverbs 14:1a and 2a, (MSG) the fear of the LORD arrested my heart.  Praise the LORD that He loves me enough to convict me.  I would gladly deal with all conviction here and now, then to face Him in Heaven and try to explain why I allowed condemnation to lead me instead of conviction.

Back in June we did a series about honour, and I used the example of the Soldiers who guard the Unknown Tomb, [you can read it at threecrossescanada.com].  The Soldiers spend five hours a day preparing their uniforms, they protect their bodies from alcohol and swearing.  Even during the fiercest storms, they are out on duty.  Remember, soldiers enter the army and go through boot camp, then train for their assignments, and continue to train throughout their service, always coming up higher in rank and excellence.

If you read the entire passage from the Message Translation, a woman like me who is married to an alcohol abuser would love this version:  “Lady Wisdom builds a lovely home; Sir Fool comes along and tears it down brick by brick.”  If you read that, and do not understand the meaning behind the scripture verse, you might be tempted to only believe that Sir Fool is your alcohol abuser, and he is the one who tears down the house.  Reading it that way puts the blame fully on his shoulders; however, let’s read the New International version.  “The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down.”  The New Living, the KJV, the AMP, and the Passion all say the same thing.  The Passion adds, “but a foolish woman over time will tear it down by her own actions.” 

The Message says, Lady Wisdom, who is one of the Seven Spirits of God.  She is the one who stands in the centre of town and calls.  Sir Foolish, is one of Satan’s Seven Spirits.  Satan copies everything of God’s.  Are you starting to see how just reading the scripture verse compared to slightly understanding the scripture verse can derail you?  That is how Satan works.  He will trigger you to believe, “Did God say, Sir Foolish will tear down the house, therefore, your husband is to blame for the condition of your house?”  More tomorrow.

“On the twenty-first day of the seventh month…’Be strong, all you people of the land,’ declares the LORD, ‘and work.”  (Haggai 2:4; NIV) 

Those with ears hear.  The Prophets are speaking, have you been listening?  Prepare the Way, Prepare the Way of the LORD God.  Be in Season, Out of SEASON.

Lady Wisdom builds a lovely home – Part Two DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – July 22ND,2024 (5784)

Yesterday, we talked about how only reading one version of this scripture verse can lead you to believe that your Sir Fool tore down the house.  We also talked about the verse following this one.  {Proverbs 14:1,2)

In all versions I mentioned yesterday, say the same thing, the wise woman built up her house, a foolish woman tears down her house.  Then I mentioned, I was convicted with verse 2a, “An honest life shows respect for GOD.” (MSG)  The question of the day, “Am I living an honest life, so I show respect for GOD?”  The NIV says, “He whose walk is upright fears the LORD.”  We just talked about the fear of the LORD this month. 

It amazes me how many people run away at the first hint of conviction, instead of embracing it.  Conviction leads to freedom and doing it God’s way, while condemnation keeps you locked up in Sir Fools way.  The Daily Walk in Tomorrow is posted here every single day, it is also on the Three Crosses Canada site of Facebook, XAPiT and .com.  I get people who read it once or twice, and never come back.  Don’t be that person.  Receive conviction as a treasure.  God says, where your heart is, so is your treasure. 

Boot camp is not fun.  It causes muscles to burn, brains to think, it forces you to learn a new way of doing things, and to leave the old behind.  God loves you and wants to work with you, but He can’t do the work for you.  He will help you, but He won’t do for you what you can do for yourself.  God can not bless sin.  Do you understand that?  You can pray until the cows come home, but you can’t expect God to bless sin. 

Allow Holy Spirit to Convict You DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – July 23RD,2024 (5784)

Yesterday I said, “God cannot bless sin.  Do you understand that?  You can pray until the cows come home, but you can’t expect God to bless sin.” 

When you sin, Holy Spirit will convict you.  He is telling you to repent, which means, to turn away from and do no more.  Sin simply means, you missed it.  Repent, get up, correct, redirect and go.  It really is that simple, but we complicate it.  We drag religion into it, thinking we need to rip our clothing, wail and weep, feel bad, moan, groan, fast and beg for forgiveness.  NO!  Just go to God, ask for forgiveness, and move on.  Moving on requires giving up the sin, listening to God how and what to do.  You don’t lay there and allow Satan to bring on conviction.  Get up and move.

What happens if you don’t repent, don’t get up and move.  You stay where you are.  Locked up.  Your heart will grow darker and darker, and you will begin to believe that your sin is alright to do.  Light will not be allowed in anymore, and you develop the sin consciousness of evil is good, and good is evil.  Take homosexuality.  In the 1970s, homosexuals were beaten and shunned because of their sin, today, they are allowed to be married in church.  Evil has become good.  If you speak out the Word against homosexuality, you are shunned and beaten because evil has become good, and good has become evil. 

Let’s remember Proverbs 14:1, the good woman builds a good house, and the unwise woman destroys it.  If you are blind to sin, your family will be blind to it, because it becomes normal.  Watching murder on television, playing games of murder, is playing with fire, playing with sin.  It ignites the heart into believing it is good.  From the heart the mouth speaks, so be careful what you put into your heart.

Allow Holy Spirit to Convict You – Part Two DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – July 24TH,2024 (5784)

You are the temple of Holy Spirit.  He lives inside your spirit.  You have three parts to you, body, soul and spirit.  Your spirit is holy, so He can dwell there.  Your soul and body are not. 

In Proverbs 6, starting at verse 16, God writes seven things He hates, so we must hate also.  I am going to layer the verses, so you get a better understanding of them, first the Message followed by the Passion. 

17: eyes that are arrogant.  Putting others down while considering yourself superior.

A tongue that lies.  Spreading lies and rumors.

Hands that murder the innocent.  Spilling the blood of the innocent.

18:  A heart that hatches evil plots.  Plotting evil in your heart toward another.

Feet that race down a wicked track.  Gloating over doing what’s plainly wrong.

19:  A mouth that lies under oath.  Spouting lies in false testimony.

A troublemaker in the family.  Stirring up strife between friends. 

One of the first things God had me deal with is that I am not better than anyone else, and that included my alcohol abuser.  God doesn’t have favourites.  He loves everyone equally, whether they are His children or not.  No not everyone is God’s child.  No, not everyone is a sheep, many are goats.  Sheep and goats are both Christians.  Be a sheep and love everyone, but you are not commanded to like everyone.

Allow Holy Spirit to Convict You – Part Three DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – July 25TH,2024 (5784)

Yesterday we listed seven things God hates.  If God hates them, we hate them and we get them out of our lives, repent from them, and God will forgive us of them.  If you need to reread yesterday’s Daily Walk in Tomorrow, visit our website, threecrossescanada.com.

Let’s talk about innocent blood.  Murder is wrong, whether it is a baby in the womb or a person.  Support of abortion in any way is wrong, a sin.  Doctors and nurses who perform abortions are stepping into hell.  Planned Parenthood is sinning.  Driving someone to the abortion clinic is sin.  Voting someone into office who agrees with abortion is sin.  Watching television shows that showcase abortion is sin. 

Let me be clear: God will forgive you if you had an abortion.  God has your babies in Heaven, and if you are saved and made Jesus the Saviour He is, and Lord over your life, you will see them again.  You were alive in God the Father before He sent you here to Earth.  You lived inside the Father, both soul and spirit.  Holy Spirit knitted you to your flesh inside your mother.  Every time Holy Spirit does this, there is a spark inside the woman, it has been caught on camera.  Do a google search.  Life began before conception.

Your living children are gifts to you.  God said, you can raise them however you want too, but be careful to raise them according to the Word.  God said, it is better to have a mill stone tied around your neck then to harm one of His children.  God isn’t playing around here.  Fear the LORD God. 

Take a Good Hard Look at Your Life  DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – July 26TH,2024 (5784)

Haggai is an Old Testament Prophet, who has only two chapters in the bible.  The LORD said to Haggai, “The people procrastinate, They say this isn’t the right time to rebuild my Temple, the Temple of GOD.”  (1:2; MSG)  On June 25th, 2024, I published an article titled, “Give Careful Thought to Your Ways.”   In that article I mentioned that Haggai was told to rebuild the temple, and in the sixth month of the 24th day, the work started.  On the 24th day of the ninth month, God said, “From this day on I will bless you.”  (2:19; NIV)  From June 24th to September 24th, was 92 days.  From today until the 24th, of September is 60 days.

As explained in the article, that is using the Gregorian Calendar, the Jewish Calendar is 18 Sivan, 5784 to Wednesday, 24 Kislev, 5785, which is December 25th, 2024.  God had me read this passage on June 24th, 2024, that is what grabbed my attention.  What did I lay aside that God told me to do, deliberately set aside to pursue my own building of my own house? 

I want you to take a good hard look at your life, which is a statement told over and over in the book of Haggai, what have you laid aside, like me, that God is asking you to pick up.  Our theme for the year is, “Prepare the Way, Prepare the Way of the LORD God.”  This year I wrote and published on ThreeCrossesCanada.com two series, The Joy of Home and Demand of Me. 

In the Daily Walk in Tomorrow, we have talked a lot about Noah building an ark to save his family, in fact, he saved all living creatures from extinction.  We talked about Joseph saving the world from starvation from the seven-year famine.  We talked about Ester saving her people from certain death by putting her own life at risk and entering the throne room of the King.   

We have talked about wars and rumors of wars, food and medication shortages, emergency supplies and cooking without power.  We talked about diapers, washing machines, and preserving food.   We talked about the Word given by Prophets Robin D. Bullock, Amanda Grace, Hank Kunneman, Barry Wuntch, Brandon Briggs and Joseph Z. 

In Haggai it is written, “and all the people with them listened, really listened to the voice of their GOD….In listening to Haggai, they honored GOD.”  (MSG)

“From this day on I will bless you.”  DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – July 27TH,2024 (5784)

Yesterday we talked about June 24th to September 24th, 2024.  Today there are now 59 days left. 

In order for God to bless you, you have to do things God’s way.  Sometimes it seems harder to do it God’s way, however, God’s way brings the more than enough blessings.  How do you get answered prayer?  You ask in faith, according to the Word of God.  You use Jesus’s name and stand, believing that God has the ability to bring about what you asked for. 

God said through Haggai, “Now give careful thought to this from this day on – consider how things were before one stone was laid on another in the LORD’S temple….From this day on, from this twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, give careful thought to the day when the foundation of the LORD’S temple was laid.  Give careful thought:  Is there yet any seed left in the barn?”  (2:15, 18, 19; NIV)  The Message finishes verse 19 as, “Has anything in your fields – vine, fig tree, pomegranate, olive tree – failed to flourish?  From now on you can count on a blessing.”

Do you remember in this devotional, us talking about Ecclesiastes 2:26 and Proverbs 13:22 where it says the wicked or the sinner stores up wealth for God’s children or the righteous?  God mirrors His Word in Haggai, when He says, “They’’ bring bushels of wealth and I will fill this Temple with splendor,’ GOD- of the Angel-Armies.”  (2:7; MSG)  Who are God’s children?  Those who have made Jesus Lord AND Saviour.  So many people have made Him Saviour but not Lord.  The sheep hear His voice, not the goats and unbelievers.

How is a harvest made?  You first have to plant a seed.  That seed needs to be prayed over in faith, and there is a waiting time you have to stand in that faith.  In Haggai, the Lord reminded His people that the vision is still there, but they need to be doing something to bring about the vision.  They needed to make God first, honour God and seek Him.  When you do these things, God will bless you.  God can bless your seed and make your harvest more than enough.

You cannot bring about a harvest in your own strength.  DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – July 28TH,2024 (5784)

In the book titled, “The Faithful Prepper: A Christian’s Perspective on Prepping,” by Aden Tate, he writes, “Noah was given specific instructions by God that he needed to prepare for this catastrophe.  He needed to build an ark to specific dimensions, out of specific wood, with specific rooms….Noah knew that absolute catastrophe was coming-in this case, the destruction of mankind – and he did something to get his family out of it alive.”  (page 14)

God talks to everyone, what has He told you to do?  Are you doing it?

God gave Prophets to speak, and they are speaking.  Are you listening?  In Haggai 1:12, it says, “and all the people with them listened, really listened to the voice of their GOD.”  (MSG) 

What have the Prophets been saying:

  • Bird Flu
  • Biological Weapons
  • EMP attacks
  • Hyperinflation
  • Riots
  • Power Outages
  • Terrorism
  • Pandemic
  • Market Crash
  • Nuclear War
  • Famine and Shortages
  • Earthquakes, Drought, Flooding

God sends rain on the just and the unjust; however, God upholds the righteous, the sheep, those whose hearts are focused on God and His way of doing things.  God is sending a shaking, tables are being turned over, and we are being weighed in the scales.

For years God has been telling His people to prepare.  Preparedness is different for everyone, depending on where in the world you are.  Some have been told to have three months of supplies, some have been told to move to a different state or country, some have been told to plant a garden and others have been told to save money. 

God is your source of supply, not the government, not the food bank, not your employer, not your spouse, your God.  “I am about to shake up everything, to turn everything upside down and start over from top to bottom-overthrow governments, destroy foreign powers, dismantle the world of weapons and armaments, throw armies into confusion, so that they end up killing one another.”  (Haggai 2:21; MSG)  God is not mocked, what you sow, you reap.

Give God your whole heart.  DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – July 29TH,2024 (5784)

God requires you to work.  Work with your hands, so you are blessed.  Work at reading and studying the Word, so you are blessed.  Pray and ask, so you are blessed.  Faith is required, and without working at it, your faith will be weak.  God wants all of you, not just a little.

When times of stress come, are you able to handle it in peace?  When a crisis comes, do you know how to demand with authority?  When lack is at your door, do you know how to sow for an abundant harvest? 

Who is going to save you when your boat starts to sink?  What do you have on board that can save you and your entire household?  Are you prepared with a life raft?  Water?  Food?  Money?  How much prayer is under your feet?  How much faith have you laid out in the atmosphere for you to walk on?  If you have nothing, you have to start believing that God will carry you, but you have to give Him something to work with.

No place in the bible have I ever seen, and God did everything for them.  Words must be spoken in authority and faith.  James says, without action and faith working together, it is all dead.  “I am so lonely,” you may say.  Are you doing what God told you to do or are you listening to Satan.  Yes, that may sound harsh, but it’s the truth. 

You need to make God real in your life.  You need to depend on Him.  You need to make Him Lord, not just Saviour.  If you say you can’t do something, you will never do it.  If you say, “In Jesus’s name, I can do all things” and believe it, you will. 

Needless Suffering  DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – July 30TH,2024 (5784)

From the book, “The Faithful Prepper,” by Aden Tate, he writes, “People were starving.  But not Egypt.  In Egypt things weren’t that bad.  Why?  Because they had prepared.  They knew what was coming, and they were willing to do something about it to prevent needless suffering in their own lives and the lives of their families.”  (page 15)

God always, always, always, always, tells us what is coming so we can prepare for it.  The problem is, people don’t listen, don’t do, and don’t believe.  Somethings are just so unbelievable that we cannot comprehend it.  We view other people through our belief system.  “I don’t lie,” therefore no one else does.  “I don’t do that,” therefore no one else does.  Or we fall for the belief that if I cannot see it, it won’t hurt me.  And even worse, is rejecting something because we have never experienced it before.  You know adultery is sin, yet people except it, live with it, and it sometimes frees people to do the same back to their spouse.  Gambling, drinking and pornography are all adultery.  You can choose to honour that adultery by doing nothing about it, staying in a relationship with someone like that, or you can move on. 

God warned us in Genesis 3 about adultery, how it works and what the consequences of it are.  God told man to subdue it, put it under your feet, but Adam didn’t listen.  When it comes to our spouses, we want so desperately to trust them we say things like, “I didn’t think they really would do that?  It is something I would never do and never thought it would happen to me.”  What God says you can take to the bank as an absolute truth, and He said, that sin has consequences.

Noah believed God and built an Ark.  Noah told everyone why he was building an Ark.  Rain was coming.  “What is rain.  It has never happened before, what makes you think it is going to happen?  Our gods, say it is not going to happen.  We will sacrifice our children, so it doesn’t happen.”   Are you sacrificing your children because you don’t believe what others are telling you?  He is funny and kind, but the more he drinks the meaner he gets.  “Get out now, because it is only going to get worse.  He will lose his job, his liver will begin to shut down, he will become physically violent.”  And you don’t listen, because well, you can’t imagine that it will ever get that bad.  Ninety-nine percent of the time, it does.  But you stay and raise your children in that home.  Sacrificing yourself and children.

Build your Ark. 

Needless Suffering – Part 2  DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – July 31TH,2024 (5784)

Yesterday we talked about adultery and needless suffering in an alcoholic marriage, because “it can only get better.  I will hang on; it can’t get worse.”  We also mentioned that God said, “sin has consequences.”

No where in the bible does it say, “stay in a marriage that you are being abused, used and taken advantage of.”  Jesus said that anything that hinders your walk with Him, needs to go.  Remember earlier this month we talked about taking a verse and only looking at the other person and their sin involved in the verse.  I want you to read this verse from unveiled eyes, taking in the entire scripture verse and your situation, whatever that might be.

“I have a message from God in my heart concerning the sinfulness of the wicked.  There is no fear of God before their eyes.  In their own eyes they flatter themselves too much to detect or hate their sin.  The words of their mouths are wicked and deceitful they fail to act wisely or do good.”  (Psalm 36:1-3; NIV)

It is so easy to see sin in other people because their sin is hurting us.  Sin blinds us to the pain it is causing other people.  Sin makes us feel good, it satisfies our flesh, but is it slowing crushing our spirits to the point it no longer has a voice.  The first time we feel pain, we need to correct it.  Pain and hurt are warning signs that something is wrong and needs immediate attention.  If we ignore it, once, twice, twenty times, it becomes normal.  “My parents argue all the time, its normal in our house.”  Soon, your child is arguing all the time with teachers, then police, and then with their spouse, because it is normal.  The first time you are physically abused, verbally abused or sexually abused is one time too many.  Did you hear that?  The FIRST TIME!  The first time you accept the apology, forgive and stay, is the beginning of the fall.  The first time leads to the second time, and then the third.   The first time you accept the excuse of staying out late will lead to the second and third time.  Yes, we are called to forgive, but not to be abused, lied too, taken advantage of, or stolen from.    Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy, but Jesus came so we may have life, and life in abundance.
