Finding Ultimate Peace and Rest in Christ

Finding Ultimate Peace and Rest in                          Christ

Where do we go from here: Help me, Lord

A beautiful photograph of a massive mountain made entirely of solid, bone-colored rock
Standing unmovable in a place of pure stillness and grand endurance.

Guide me, strengthen me, and envelop me with the indwelling of Your Holy Spirit. Open my eyes, and soften my heart. Open the doors for Your World Awakening. Bring down Your Holy Spirit. United, all in all, is You! In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, You left us to communicate Your presence in spirit.

Consequently, my times, “In Presence of Spirit,” are now Your times. Be that as it may, if you do understand, and if you do not, I cannot change anything. My role in these writings is my keepsake, and it is already in eternity. Ultimately, I guess all I can say is they are “As-Is.”

Indeed, God cares about my times, “In Presence of Spirit.” You shared Your Presence in Spirit with me because I asked You. Therefore, I had pain for so long then. You showed Your presence in spirit the day I wrote, “In Presence of Spirit.” My Special Treasure, that would one day be a giant write, In Presence of Your Holy Spirit.

“Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.”

— Psalm 143:10 (KJV)

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”

— Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV)

“Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.”

— Romans 8:26 (KJV)

Daily Affirmations

• I yield my heart and mind to the Lord today, asking Him to direct my path and give me the strength to follow.

• I trust that my personal story and writings are safe in eternity, kept by His grace exactly as they are meant to be.

• I stand firmly in the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit, allowing His peace to calm my heart and light the way forward.

Reflection

Asking the ultimate question of direction requires absolute humility and trust. When we step back from trying to force or change human circumstances, we enter into the eternal reality of God’s timing.

 

In that sacred place, our roles become clear, and we find true reassurance knowing that our journeys are already treasured and sealed in His omnipresent light.

How to Awaken Your Soul for a Powerful Union in Spirit

How to Awaken Your Soul for a             Powerful Union in Spirit

Jesus, in Your name I do pray. “God Bless The Universe.”

A traveler's photograph capturing a clear curving asphalt road with snow covered mountains in the background and a line of evergreen trees
Navigating the quiet curves of life, anchored by the massive strength of His timeless hills.

Bring peace, eternal in You, holy Father. Yours is the one true knowledge, in heart and soul realization, to the opening of, “I am, in presence of spirit, in conversations with the Lord.”

Mortal Author: Wendy. Spiritual Author: Christ Jesus Spirit with Wendy in Writing to the World—with You, with You in Spirit; through You, through You in Spirit.

Below You, above You, and on the sides of You. On top of your feet. In Your arms, I rest, in Your presence, of this work that is bestowed on me.

No one could stop me from following Your call. It is on paper. It is published, it is practiced, and it is put out, but now it is going to be within the grasp of the mind’s eye.

There is a way to help the degeneration reverse to regeneration for the whole world, and beyond. For everyone who has ever been, is now, and ever will be. Your kingdom has come, and Your will is done every time our writings in spirit are read.

Peace will be granted to the multitudes. The shedding of the old misconceptions of life to the illuminating light of Your ever-presence. Ask for understanding; ask for the Lord’s holy presence.

Even so, the Lord is in you, as the Lord is in me. Our writings in spirit are communications, spirit to spirit, and a cooperation which renders the negative realm of abominations chained, and then discarded.

To leave behind the past and fill in the present with the presence of our dear Lord and Savior. In the Lord’s loving power and glory, to be center, all-knowing, all-powerful, almighty, sovereign.

Our most holy of holiest, in the presence of our ever-presence. In love for humankind, to come into each inner chamber, and come out without pain—with knowledge which You have given us roundabout.

I know I had a mission to complete in the spirit of the ever-presence of You, Lord. I never thought of my writings as a sacrifice; it was my time to pray, to praise, to thank, and to keep a piece of eternity on every page. Furthermore, I wrote with Spirit, not without.

I pray for the unveiling of our union in spirit to accomplish what it is meant to be accomplished: to bring peace into the heart and soul of mankind. Wake up! Smell the Spirit of truth in your ever-loving heart.

“Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.”
— Matthew 6:10 (KJV)

“I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.”
— John 17:23 (KJV)

“To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:”
— Colossians 1:27 (KJV)

“Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all.”
— 1 Chronicles 29:11 (KJV)

“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!”
— Psalm 133:1 (KJV)

Daily Affirmations

I. Encircled by Grace: I rest securely in the arms of Christ, knowing His Holy Spirit is entirely below me, above me, and round about me at all times.

II. Regenerating Power: By entering the inner chamber of my heart, all personal pain is cast down and discarded, reversing worldly degeneration into divine renewal.

III. Union in Spirit: I boldly step into my sacred mission, using my published testimony to ground global peace and bring the word of God alive for the multitudes.

Reflection

Penned in the summer of 2008, this towering foundational entry serves as an open manifesto declaring the true co-authored nature of the entire In Presence of Spirit manuscript.

Explicitly clarifying the roles of Wendy as the mortal instrument and Christ Jesus as the divine voice, the text details an ultimate state of spiritual rest—cradled securely above, below, and on every side by the Savior’s form.

The piece functions as a high-authority blueprint for structural renewal, charting an intentional path to reverse human degeneration by chaining the negative realm of worldly abominations.

By framing decades of continuous writing not as an earthly sacrifice but as an ongoing prayer of active praise, this poignant declaration serves as an alarm clock for humanity

—urging the multitudes to step into their own inner chambers, lay down structural trauma, and claim the pristine, all-knowing light of a complete union in spirit.

How to Find Divine Light: One Heart to Heal

How to Find Divine Light: One                         Heart to Heal

Dear Jesus Christ, I need You. I want You. Thank You for letting me write.

A beautiful landscape photograph taken at dusk showing a brilliant sunset with vibrant pink gold and blue clouds stretching across the sky.
Watching the evening sky catch fire with the vibrant, masterful brushstrokes of the Creator.

I have to have Your Spirit guide me out of darkness into the light all over again. Forgive me my trespasses, my sins, and my iniquities.

Thank You for giving me breath in the writings of “In Presence of Spirit”—the whole of it, the completion in this decade, this time around.

Thank You for Your presence in every writing, prayer, praise, verse, song, and poem. I appreciate every page of our book: the originals, the edited versions, and the almost complete manuscript that I have only read.

Thank You for letting me write “In Presence of Spirit” in its entirety. Even though You and I are the only ones who know what I captured in writing with and through You, Jesus, it is meant to be like this for Your and my purpose. For Your goal is my purpose, and my mission is Your purpose, now and forevermore.

I love You, Jesus Christ. I believe everything: the Resurrection to life eternal in You, through You, and round about the glory of You. Lord, I miss You. I need You. I need to hear Your guiding voice. Furthermore, I require You to grab me out of darkness into the light of Your ever-presence.

Open my heart again so I can complete what You have given me to share with anyone who requires the only friend in the spirit of Your ever-loving presence.

I loved Jesus—I did, and I do. Help me finish the task at hand. Please, Lord, I require help with this glaucoma. I suffered too many attacks, thinking they were “eye migraines.” We require a Glaucoma Foundation in every state. We require a multitude of things, but first and foremost, I require You back, Jesus.

Show me what You want me to do. Guide me to it. Hold fast; my love is poured out to you in this, “Our Writings, In Spirit of Your Ever Loving Presence.”

Omnipotent and omnipresent in exquisite conversations with the Lord. Thank You, Jesus, for the communication. I had a blast knowing You are in me and I am in You, and that You are the Author through me, from You. I love You, Jesus. Furthermore, I love You with one heart to heal.

Thank You for letting me write. I could not find any words. It weighed heavy on my total being. Jesus, in Your name, Lord, bring Your love down to a oneness of truth, which is only through You, Jesus Christ.

You gave me You in “In Presence of Spirit,” and it is obvious after all is said, written, and complete in this, the extended book—the whole of the entire writings of “In Presence of Spirit”—that You, my love and my life, are the Author through me, with me, beside me, round about me, in every way. Forgive me for forgetting.

Sometimes life is too hard, and the cycles keep repeating themselves, worse in every generation. Help us stop the cycle of the past and bring the future to today in time, place, and significant reason.

These writings are my future because they are my past. So I wish to start living today what I maintain will help the world with one heart to heal.

“Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak: O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed. Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies’ sake.”
— Psalm 6:2,4 (KJV)

Reflection

Written in December 2008, this deeply intimate prayer functions as an internal sanctuary of gratitude, total surrender, and visionary advocacy.

Reflecting upon a vast digital archive and a complex writing trail, the author celebrates an enduring, hidden partnership with Jesus Christ, identifying Him as the true source of every inspired page.

The text handles personal physical adversity—the painful experience of severe glaucoma attacks mistaken for eye migraines—with striking transparency, transforming an individual physical challenge into a global mission to build foundational support networks for others.

By crying out to break repetitive generational downfalls, this piece positions the entire manuscript as a living portal designed to pull souls out of darkness, anchor a muddled past in the clarity of today, and proactively unite communities under the ultimate banner of global restoration.

How to Stand Ready: It Will Be Accessible When Called Upon

How to Stand Ready: It Will Be Accessible When Called Upon

It does matter how I read it. Will be accessible when called upon.

A landscape photograph from a traveler's journey showing a massive solid rock mountain rising behind an open field with a few trees clustered at the very top.
Finding steady hope and beautiful, steady hope along the journey.

Thanks for waking me up from my coma—not literally.

I knew I was going to be by water this winter. Oh, ye of little understanding. Grow in the Word, and you will be clarifying God’s most wonderful gift.

We hear, but we have to get ourselves ready. We have to project our spirits together for power. The enemy is all around us, waiting to take another piece. You need to cleanse; let us go, we have work to do.

Our families are affected, and they need us to grab them out of the fire and into the light.

January 30, 1996 It Does Not Matter

“And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.”
— Romans 13:11 (KJV)

“The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.”
— Psalm 18:2 (KJV)

“Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?”
— Isaiah 58:6 (KJV)

Daily Affirmations

I. Divine Awakening: I am fully awake to God’s timing, moving directly into the light and clarity of His most wonderful gift.

II. Accessible Strength: The power and protection of the Holy Spirit are completely accessible to me whenever I am called upon.

III. Family Deliverance: Through intercession and faith, I boldly reach out to help grab my family out of generational fires and anchor them safely in Christ’s light.

Reflection

Written in January 1996, this urgent and profound entry captures a sudden, awakening shift in spiritual focus.

Describing an internal rescue from a deep, long-standing “coma,” the text underscores the vital importance of personal preparation and alignment with the Word.

It serves as an active battle cry for spiritual cleansing, noting that the opposing spiritual forces are always ready to claim another fragment of our lives if we remain asleep.

Ultimately, the writing establishes a serious responsibility for families, urging us to step beyond personal comfort and step into our authority to snatch loved ones from the destructive fires of worldly inheritance and carry them into the safety of everlasting light.

How to Find Soul Prosperity When You Feel Alone

How to Find Soul Prosperity When                   You Feel Alone

A wide winter landscape photo of a vast frozen lake with a massive, snow-capped mountain peak rising on the far side beneath heavy cloud cover.
Anchored in stillness: a lake resting at the base of life’s most massive, snow-covered peaks.

In all my years of putting up with afflictions, I would never have come to my ultimate conclusion. I am like a lost sheep that does not have anywhere to go. Furthermore, I am in a strange land of opportunities, but I feel all alone.

Please help me, Jesus, in Your blood spread all over this world, and let us take action. For the wages of sin have come to their conclusion, and why should the innocent suffer without cause? I wish not death on this man that has judged me, but peace to the Earth.

You have taught me immeasurable lessons, and You alone walked me through the fire. I have no fight left. Oh, Jesus, I am scared. Please bring the Comforter down and rest with me while I grow in knowledge, wisdom, communication, compassion, understanding, and patience.

Lord, You put many words in my vocabulary. I thank You. Lord, keep near our children; You are the only one they can trust.

Hear them, Lord, each time they speak, for I know their pain. Lord, I have to say this: God bless him and her for their lack of knowledge; justification will come in Your time, not mine.

The pain is here, but I lift, as best I can, my pain, for it hurts to wait so long over something I have no control over.

Lord, I know You have not forsaken me, but what must I do now? Where shall I go to rest? Who do I talk to? Who is it that should tell me where to stay next? I feel I have nothing left. Am I to blame for all this mess?

My father said, “You are not a messenger of God.” I say, “Everyone is a messenger of God. We all need to find God this generation, for it is up—not the end of time, but the beginning of eternity.”

Our lives are muddled in all the generational garbage that man and his ancestors have kept alive: greed, materialism, and wants, not needs. Everyone is affected.

I need to write to the afflicted; I am not alone. I have to fight for God’s truth, in God’s time.

“In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.” Thanks be to God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost.

I have nowhere to hide. Show me Your Way. Show me through Your Eyes. Show me through Your Guidance.

Show me through Your Courage, understanding, wisdom, fortitude, acceptance, and patience. The Oneness of Eternity which You possess.

Bring Your Word Alive through me. Let me be diligent in receipt of Your Gift to me, and let’s together proclaim the prosperity of soul, life through Jesus Christ our Savior.

March 4, 1996

“What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?”
— Luke 15:4 (KJV)

“Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.”
— Psalm 39:12 (KJV)

“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”
— Isaiah 41:10 (KJV)

Daily Affirmations

I. Guided Steps: I am never a truly lost sheep, because Jesus Christ knows my exact location and is actively guiding my soul through this strange land.

II. Ultimate Comfort: I release my heavy fears and exhaustion to the Comforter, allowing His divine wisdom, patience, and fortitude to rest upon me while I grow.

III. A Messenger of Truth: I am a unique messenger of God’s eternal love, called to write comfort to the afflicted and bring His living Word alive through my testimony.

Reflection

Written in the early spring of 1996, this deeply transparent piece captures the profound vulnerability of feeling completely isolated in a transitional wilderness.

Standing at a crossroad of deep exhaustion and fear, the author models absolute surrender by turning away from human judgment and pouring out a raw prayer directly to Jesus Christ.

The text powerfully identifies the universal truth that everyone is called to be a messenger of divine grace, breaking free from muddled generational cycles of greed and materialism.

By crying out for the Comforter, this poignant message transforms an intense season of affliction into a training ground for spiritual growth, anchoring a broken heart in the ultimate realization that soul prosperity and rest belong entirely to Christ.

Finding Powerful Peace with No Cover Up For My Abused Self

“The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and save such as be of a contrite spirit.”
— Psalm 34:18 (KJV)

A dramatic landscape perspective looking down an asphalt road with a massive, towering sheer rock mountain rising steeply on the right side

“Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:”
— Colossians 1:13 (KJV)

“To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.”
— Acts 26:18 (KJV)

Daily Affirmations

I. Out of Darkness: By the power of Jesus Christ, I am lifted out of the heavy darkness of trauma and carried into a pure state of divine grace.

II. Redeemed Testimony: My past survival is not a curse, but a sacred gift meant to bring comfort, healing, and light to a suffering world.

III. The Dwelling of Peace: I open the inner chamber of my heart completely, trusting that the Holy Spirit has ignited an eternal light that no earthly pain can dim.

No Cover Up For My Abused Self

You know I have felt over the years that it is only in the Spirit of our dear Heavenly Father. Since I started writing the book at the beginning of 1996, I have wondered: Who am I to write what I have, and who in the world cares about what I have done?

But all the while, time and time again, it was my journey from the darkness of my soul to bring light back to my soul for the loss of my life and my love.

Through my writings, it lifts me out of darkness into a state of grace. Grace is given by Jesus Christ. I know my pain was buried; my pain was ugly, and my pain was right in my face. When I left, I was in shock.

I searched deep into myself through all the readings, all the prayers, all the crying and mourning, and through the things I put up with on the emotional roller coaster of the negative that had consumed our lives.

I had no cover-up for my abused self, from him or from me, for losing myself to the lie, because that is all it was. I once said, “If this was all a game, everyone lost.” Well, you know, the only thing we lost was the fight.

My straightforward being is a constant in these writings. It is only in the spirit of our dear Heavenly Father, who made my experience a gift and not a curse.

It is a gift to mankind for the remission of the world’s sins. In God, I live through Jesus Christ, and His Holy Spirit has ignited the light in my soul to induce the omnipresence of every prayer for humankind, opening up the kingdom of heaven within each one of us.

Oh please, who am I? No one, not even myself, picks me apart. The Lord, through me, gave me His Holy Spirit to perpetuate an ongoing dialogue with Him “In Presence of Spirit.” That is what is up.

All summed up for me, right? No! Not for a second. It is made “In Presence of Spirit” for His purpose, to stay with me until the end of time and forever. Now, this is the only forever, I can only imagine.

It was never a competition against or with the husband of my youth. Although it is obvious, I am not competing. I stayed unmarried, and he was married all but three months of those fourteen years.

Our kids are adults; his kids are in the first grade and kindergarten. Now he is staying, making it right. His little game caught up with him. Now that I know it was all his game, because he always competed with me for some strange reason—reasons that have now come to pass.

I survived every obstacle to complete for me, mine, and the Lord’s, “In Presence of Spirit” to be shared. It is a must of my desire and my quest.

I cannot in my mortality state it any different. I refuse to be embarrassed about my small part in this. To repeat: “But what oneself is to You, dear Lord.” He gave me my heart and my soul back “In Presence of Spirit—The Original Writing.”

I thought long and hard about that—the first piece of my heart that He gave me eyes to see so I could write it down “In Presence of Spirit.” And then closed they went. I was part of the negative inside me, not just my negative, but everyone’s. Take it any way you want it.

I have to see it through; no door has opened yet, so this is all or nothing. What do I have to lose? I guess I am the one who is going to open that door. Hey! What? The door has already been opened, and no one dared to come into Wendy’s “In Presence of Spirit.” When they do, I know I will feel better. I love it; He gave me meaning before, during, and after my misery.

In the presence of my misery, Jesus took my hand and guided me out of darkness into the light of His ever-presence. I have been a silent partner with Christ in me, the hope of glory.

Silent I must not be anymore; too many are suffering. Although I still do not speak what I wrote, if it is the Holy Spirit’s will for me to speak at that time, so be it, with one heart to heal.

October 27, 2008

Reflection

October 2008, this landmark foundational writing serves as a raw, unfiltered bridge between a devastating past and a divinely appointed future.

It marks the exact moment the writer completely sheds the painful weight of survival, choosing transparency over concealment and recognizing that a broken road can be turned into a holy instrument.

By viewing a season of severe personal trial not as a permanent curse but as an active spiritual gift, the text illustrates how personal survival transforms into a guiding light for others who are quietly suffering.

Walking hand-in-hand with Jesus out of the shock of trauma, this piece stands as an open gateway—inviting readers to leave behind human games, break their silence, and step directly into the healing, ever-present warmth of the Holy Spirit.

How to Boldly Place Your Journey In Jesus’ Hands

“Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.”
— Psalm 37:5 (KJV)

A scenic winter perspective looking down an open road winding through rolling snow-covered hills with vibrant evergreen pine trees framing the side.
The beauty of a peaceful, open road winding gracefully through snow-lined winter hills.

“Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”
— 1 Peter 5:7 (KJV)

“I can do all things through Christ which strengthen me.”
— Philippians 4:13 (KJV)

Daily Affirmations

I. Absolute Trust: I place my entire life, path, and purpose securely into the hands of Jesus Christ.

II. Divine Timing: I rest in the truth that God’s perfect timing is unfolding today, opening doors that no man can shut.

III. Fearless Sharing: The Holy Spirit grants me bold strength to share Christ’s overflowing love with a world in need of healing.

I Place The Matter In Your Hands

The name changed many times. The whole incredible trip from beyond the dead to life “in Christ” is so awesome that I have to share it, whether or not you are ready. It is finally ready to be let free.

Now is the time; then was not the time. I had a lot more writing to do. These are the last hours of the close of this, my testimony of Jesus Christ. I will read yours, whoever you might be.

Dear Jesus Christ, I am coming to You at the end of this journey with You in writing. I figure this is Your designated time for me to complete the scripts that are in the book.

As stated, I have to look past myself and give others what Jesus Christ has given me. For whoever will ever read this work, it is full of wordy expressions of love through the Spirit of the oneness of hope and faith. There is a better today for all concerned.

This is for everyone in Heart and Soul Revelation through Christ Jesus, who strengthens the congregation through you, in you, with you, and round about the glory of you, Jesus Christ, in Your World Awakening.

“I love You, Jesus Christ.” I miss You. I have to share You with the world in Your hands. Furthermore, I place the matter of fact in Your hands.

Crisis centers are full of people needing help right now; there is no time to wait. Forever and a day passes, and that day never comes if we wait.

Oh, I have waited so long for this day to finally come. It is at my gate. I know my boldness will peek through, and the doors will start swinging open. Oh Lord, have mercy on us.

November 26, 2008

Reflection

Written in late 2008, this poignant entry captures the raw emotional culmination of a lifelong writing journey.

Moving beyond personal hesitation, the author courageously steps into a calling to share an intimate testimony of Jesus Christ with a world facing immediate crisis.

The piece beautifully transitions from personal prayer into a corporate declaration for “World Awakening.”

It highlights the spiritual truth that ultimate peace is found only when we lift our burdens out of our own grip and boldly place them directly into our Savior’s hands, trusting that He will swing open the gates in His perfect time.

Open Your Heart to Understanding | Spirit Presence

“Whosoever believe in him should not perish but have eternal life.”
— John 3:16 (KJV)

“For we walk by faith, not by sight.”
— 2 Corinthians 5:7 (KJV)

Dramatic dark storm clouds hanging over a brilliant orange sunset between mountains with a winding river below.
Finding the light of hope tucked between the darkest clouds and the heavy mountains of life.

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
— 2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)

Daily Affirmations

I. Divine Guidance: The Holy Spirit is my constant Guide, filling my heart with the peace and strength of Jesus Christ.

II. Complete Surrender: As I release my own will to Him, His pure love envelops and shelters me completely, bringing divine understanding and steadfast protection to my soul.

III. Renewed Strength: I walk by faith and not by sight, confident that the regenerating power of God cleanses all pain and anchors me in His perfect time.

Open Your Heart to Understanding

Read 2 Corinthians 5 in one sitting! You will be home soon. He will come, and you will have the strength to go on whichever road He chooses. Follow Him always. In your heart are all the answers of the universe, which will bring the peace you so desire.

The Holy Spirit is your Guide. The Lord is the Light. The Lord is the strength that makes the seed grow. The Lord is in you.

Let the Passion of Christ encircle you completely. Give up your will and put it into the stretched-out arms that God, through Jesus Christ our Savior, is holding out for you.

Referring to Oswald Chambers My Utmost for His Highest, I hope you have read some entries of the book I passed up to you.

There is no holding back, so it is necessary to tell you that I have had it for a year. There are so many revelations in his writings; he guides you through the distinct reality in which we live with Christ, and the opposition of the cleansing and sanctification that follow after Salvation.

Complete purification comes through baptism and deliverance from sin and temptation. All falls into God’s place and time.

The regenerating forces of God’s power cleanse you of all your pain, placing strength within you alongside knowledge and ultimate understanding.

It is a gift. “God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, that whoever should ever believe in His name,” in the faith of His glorious love for His chosen, will not die but have eternal, everlasting life.

As written in the King James Version: “Whosoever believe in him should not perish but have eternal life.”

The life in which we are living is full of man’s traits in succession of time. This constitutes the loss of one’s rightful place.

Purification, through the pure love of Christ and the ultimate abandonment of one’s own will, is a path to which there is no other.

The love of Christ penetrates the smallest opening, even as tiny as a mustard seed. Once this occurs, His love envelops you. Although rough times are ahead, you are sheltered with and through the Lord.

Your protection is in Him, through Him, and round about Him. The Glory comes through with His magnificent power and glory, and you know you are loved through the faith you hold in our Lord Jesus Christ.

December 8, 1996

Reflection

This profound piece, written in the winter of 1996, calls for a deep and ultimate surrender to the presence of Christ.

By drawing inspiration from the timeless devotion of Oswald Chambers and the transforming truths of 2 Corinthians 5, it highlights the journey of shifting from the active mind to the quiet, receptive spaces of the heart.

The text captures the essence of true spiritual purification—allowing the tiny seed of Christ’s love to take root, break through human limitations, and expand into an all-encompassing shelter.

Even when the road ahead appears rough or uncertain, this message serves as a comforting reminder that complete protection, divine peace, and life eternal are found entirely within His extended, merciful arms.

Nothing Like It

Finding beauty and steady hope along the journey.

Original Writing

There is nothing like having a gift to share. Thank you, Jesus, for my writing in spirit with you and Your Majesty.

Thank you for the spark of light, that you inspired, through me, in, “In Presence of Spirit,” and all its extensions. The big package, you gave me to treasure, unto your time, acknowledging your presence in spirit, not just for me, but for everyone.

Even though in human terms impossible, in the Lord’s hands this testimony has come to be: My Last Will and Testament.

One for all, all for One, has come together to consciously touch the presence of Jesus Christ, Christ the Holy Spirit from God through Jesus Christ to us all. February 28, 2011

12/29/12,
Oh man, how can I write these positive things, only, in “In Presence of Spirit.” Right now I am trying to write, and I cannot. I changed my book room because I needed everything in here with me. While I decide, what I am supposed to do.

Give more, and not get a comment in the world, or keep giving my Lord, updates with no one looking at the pages, themselves. Most of the views are updated copies of what I update. I do not know where it goes; it just gives me the acknowledgment that one and the other, were viewed.

God is offering you a gift; that is what the preacher said, do you accept God’s gift? Do you accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior? I was at the end of the dead end. I had nowhere to hide. No way to escape the insanity in my mind.

The years of being without hope, without spirit, without strength, with that gut-wrenching pain, I felt for well over, seventeen years.

When I finally said yes, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Personal Savior. I felt those lights, I describe.

I felt the precise fusion with Jesus Christ, my personal savior. It took me eleven months to be able to write it. In “State of Being” I was shocked after I wrote that one.

It is my handwriting; it is not copied from a book. It came out of my experience; that is not fiction.

Happy birthday to all the New Year’s babies in the world, including mine, who is 31 today. January 1, 2017, Happy New Year!

Scriptures

1 Peter 4:10
As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

Romans 11:29
For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

Psalm 40:5
Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

Affirmations

I cherish the unique writing gift the Lord has entrusted to my hands, knowing it is a treasured package meant for everyone to find.

Though my physical surroundings change and human feedback remains silent, my soul rests content in updating the pages of my Savior’s work.

I am completely delivered from the dead ends of the past, standing securely in the precise fusion and radiant light of my Personal Savior.

Reflection

“Nothing Like It” lays bare the deep, internal wrestling that accompanies a true spiritual assignment.

To keep updating copy after copy when nobody in the world seems to leave a comment can cause a heavy weariness to settle upon the mind.

Yet, this piece stands as a grand reminder that a testimony built from a seventeen-year fire is not a fictional story—it is a living document of deliverance.

Shifting physical rooms or sorting out copyright years are simply milestones on a trail that was established before time began.

When we accept the ultimate gift of salvation at our lowest dead ends, the precise fusion with Christ leaves an unchanging mark upon the heart.

This writing calls us to overlook the silent statistics of the web and remember that a book inspired directly by the Holy Spirit remains an eternal treasure chest waiting to be found by the souls who need it most.
