The Sparrow Still Sings

Earlier today I was thinking about spiritual warfare and the discerning of spirits.  I was being reminded of some of my past battles and how the Lord helped me to navigate them. I was reminded of a song by Kenny Rogers, with the lyrics: "You've got to know when to hold them.  Know when to fold them.  Know when to walk away.  And know when to run." 🎶🕊️✨💕 Those lyrics can certainly be applied to any given situation.  Especially where there is strife, anger, confusion, offence, and conflict between people. 💖 "We've got to know when to hold them."   We've got to know when to hold our cards close to our chest, and not reveal exactly how we feel. Sometimes our emotions can get the best of us at times, and cause us to make rash decisions that we will later on regret.  It is always good to take a "time out" whenever we feel angry, upset, or emotionally wounded.  During that time, we should ask God to help us to manage those emotions, and heal the w...

  Earlier this morning I had a vision just before waking up.  I saw a lovely white pillow, with a corner that had a soft white ribbon tied around it, forming a bow. 🎀 It kind of looked like how fresh towels are often wrapped up at a relaxing spa.  Or how new fleece blankets are often tied up with a pretty ribbon at a store. As I was pondering what this could all mean, I thought about how the Holy Spirit is our Comforter.  Then I heard the words, "The God of All Comfort . "   I was reminded of a few scriptures that I will share here too.   John 14:27 💖🔥🕊️ "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." Philippians 4:4-7 💖 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!  Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be m...

  The revelations of the Kingship of Jesus Christ continue today, on this Labour Day long weekend. As soon as I woke up I saw a number on the screen of my mind.  It was the number 451.  I immediately jumped out of bed, and was led by the Holy Spirit to look up three scriptures, that seem to interlock and fit together like a hand in a glove. They were Revelation 4, Revelation 5, and Ezekiel 1.  All three of them directly point to a glorious encounter with Almighty God in His throne room in Heaven. He is already seated on the throne of our hearts, through the Holy Spirit which He has given to us.  Yet these three scriptures seem to be preparing us for that special moment.  "In the twinkling of an eye," when we will see our Lord Jesus Christ face to face in eternity.   "Blessed be the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come.  Blessed be the Lord God Almighty, who reigns forever more!"  🎶💖🔥🕊️🌿🪉 Revelation 3:7-13 💖 And to the ange...

Here comes the "Reign" again! 🥰🌧️☔️💕 Once again the Lord has led me to piece together a collection of worship songs for His glory.  The common thread of this woven tapestry of lyrics and scriptures seems to be centred around, "The Kingship of Jesus Christ." "Just one glimpse of His glory changes everything." 💖✨🔥🕊️👑  Philippians 2:9-11 💖 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place   and gave him the name that is above every name,   that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,   in heaven and on earth and under the earth,   and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,   to the glory of God the Father.   Job 37:21-24 💖   Even now men cannot look at the light when it is bright in the skies,  when the wind has passed and cleared them.  He comes from the north as golden splendour.  With God is awesome majesty.  As for the Almighty, we cannot find Him.  He is excellent in power,  In judgment ...

  Earlier today I received a song on my mind as soon as I woke up.  It is called, " I Will Call Upon the Lord ," by Cedarmont Kids. The chorus of the song really stood out to me: "The Lord liveth, and blessed be my Rock, and let the God of my salvation be exalted." Then right after I listened to this song, I was thinking about the parable of the two houses.  The house that was built on the shifting sand, of lies, compromise, and the vanities of this world.  And the other house that was built upon the solid Rock. The second house was able to survive the storms of life, because it was built upon the foundation of Jesus Christ, who is the Chief Cornerstone. Troubles and hardships come to all of us in this fallen world.  But in times like this, it is even more important to draw closer to God.  He will direct our steps and show us what to do next.  He will make a way where there seems to be no way.  And provide for all of our needs while we are still h...
