In Presence of Spirit: Life is but a never-ending circle.

In Presence of Spirit: Life is but a never-ending circle

A beautiful photograph showing a different view of the calm, blue water lake with a grand mountain standing tall on the other side under perfectly clear skies.
A fresh perspective of quiet beauty and endless clarity across the living waters.

A fresh perspective of quiet beauty and endless clarity across the living waters.

Ageless at times but fascinating, the circles become cycles day by day, week by week, month by month, and year by year. Time is never-ending but standing still.

Prayers can reach the heavens, yet evil seems to lurk all around. Where do you turn?

Heaven is the way, not hell. Indeed, we are all here for a purpose, which is to fulfill God’s Plan. He is waiting and watching in every corner for His people to speak.

We must say: “I give back To You Dear Lord, what You have given me. I give my love, and my life to fulfill the plan You have made for every person on this planet we call Earth.”

Life is but a dream. The trials and tribulations we face are human-made. To fulfill Our Creator’s Plan, we need to pray. Consequently, we must give ourselves to the Lord, and then life will kick on in high gear.

God’s Plan is Everlasting Life. Ours is to repent our sins, to pray daily, to fast at times, and to believe that Our Lord Jesus Christ died for Our Salvation. He died so we may live eternal if we submit ourselves to God.

So many people are suffering in all negative ways. They try to reach for peace, but they cannot find it. Oh, so many destructive patterns man has made for himself!

God did not make these unfortunate circumstances. Ultimately, man started making these before the flood in Noah’s time.

It is true, “oh ye of little faith.” We lose our faith at the drop of a pin, but the Lord is there to pick us right up and love us no matter what.

Therefore, we can repent our sins. We can forgive ourselves and others, and hand it right to the Lord in Jesus name. What a joy to know we can be saved!

We can live beautiful, peaceful lives if we abide by the words through the prophets of God. Everything that the people of this world should know is right there in the Bible.

Our Eternal Lives are at hand. Give yourselves through Jesus Christ To God, and He will take care of every one of us. There is too much ugliness In The World.

So let us raise our hearts and minds to the heavens. Let us bring back the beautiful aspects of life. Furthermore, this will make us open souls, ready to rise to heaven when God is ready for us.

Let us not wait much longer. Love your husbands, love your wives, love your children, your family, your friends, and by all means love yourself. Think. Creative joy is in your hands.

Last edit, “In Presence of Spirit,” Three decades old. Happy 30th Anniversary, “In Presence of Spirit,” The Original and the edited one—this one. I went from no words to “In Presence of Spirit” out of the blue. All the extensions are part of the whole of my conversations with the Lord. “You are and I am In Presence of Spirit in Conversations with the Lord.”

To You with Love, January 22, 2019, Wendy

Wow!: I Know in My Heart This Is Meant to Be

Wow!: I know in my heart this is meant to be

A beautiful photograph of twin rock mountains sitting side-to-side under a clear, normal blue sky with no trees or fields.

Ultimately, I have to finish this off with the only heart to heal. This is the one God blessed all of us to have. Indeed, we have one heart, one mind, one God the Father, and one Son in and through everyone anyway.

This flows from and through the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ in you and me, straight to the Christ Spirit within us all. Therefore, I need to take my stand. I have to take my stand. I did take my stand.

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 completely bare with no trees or fields in sight
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.

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.

Start Reading: Finding Divine Peace in a Weary World

To you who is about to start or finish reading my writings.
They To Me Are A Breath Of Jesus Christ Holy Spirit

Finding beauty and a steady hope along the winding journey.
Finding beauty and a steady hope along the journey

Was it worth the journey? They to me, are a breath of Jesus Christ Holy Spirit. He breathed life into the words He gave me. Ultimately, it is time that I have to let it go. Mind you, no one can say anything negative to make me change my mind.

It never budged. My decision was made the day I put my pen to the paper in the “In Presence of Spirit” single writing and edited piece. Consequently, I did not know that several years later, I would fall off the face of the earth. Indeed, I fell right into the Lord’s presence.

Even through all the trials and tribulations, I give thanks to You, Wendy for staying steadfast through all the obstacles. I guess it was about time I thanked myself. I know anyone who gets this far has made me smile. It is ready to be read. No, actually, I lost my smile years ago.

Thank you for reading my ultimate plight to the light. It ignites the light of the Universal Oneness.

Furthermore, it must bring Jesus Christ into His Kingdom evermore. No one can tell me in reading these pages that it does not have Spirit. It is completely filled with the Holy Presence of Spirit.

“There is too much ugliness in the World.” Therefore, I am going to spread some peace with Jesus and Wendy in writing to the World. I am who I am.

I am proclaiming Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of Our Ever Loving Souls, straight from The Spirit of the Lord. Let Jesus take your burden and give you space to breathe. Hold fast. Reach into your heart and soul.

May 23, 2008 • I was always finishing, every year.

“The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.”

— Job 33:4 (KJV)

“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”

— John 14:26 (KJV)

“And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost.”

— John 20:22 (KJV)

Daily Affirmations

• I reach deeply into my heart and soul today, letting go of every heavy burden the world tries to lay on me.

• I hold fast to the steadfast peace of Jesus Christ, knowing that my steps were ordered the moment my pen met the paper.

• I open my heart to the Holy Presence of Spirit, allowing His divine breath to fill me with room to breathe, rest, and stand unmovable.

Reflection

Leaving a long trail of personal devotion behind requires a profound surrender.

 

When the world feels filled with overwhelming choices and trials, returning to the moment the pen first met the paper grounds the soul.

 

True stillness is found when we stop striving, step into the sanctuary of His presence, and simply allow ourselves to be found by the light that evermore shines.

Where is the Heart of the World: Wake Up All Ye Dry Bones

Wake up, all ye dry bones.

A landscape photograph from a traveler's journey capturing a serene lake with deep blue water stretching across to a massive mountain rising in all its beauty.
Beholding the steady, immovable beauty of His creation resting across the still waters.

Jesus, I give You all my love and all the words to You. The spark is ignited. All you have to do is go with the flow.

Follow your inner conscience to the indwelling Christ within. Jesus, I give all my love, all the words, to You, Father, because they are with You in Spirit.

As I received, I am sharing abundantly to each one who wants to take a chance and read our conversations.

I am the only one that has read it. I have felt it was time throughout the writings that I should share, and I tried. This time is different because it is the Lord’s Time.

I have been reading out loud to my friend from In Presence of Spirit, written by me. I read May, June, and July 1996, and The State of Being. The chapters are short, but they say so much. They are soothing words; I can feel the passion of Christ, and I can sense His presence.

Can you tell I love Jesus? I followed His calling. I heard, and I kept it safe for you. For each one who longs, your longing will vanish as the Holy Spirit of our dear Heavenly Father clears the misconceptions and helps us through His very presence in Spirit.

Open up your heart to understanding, my journey to the innermost part of my soul’s quest and my soul’s voyage. To come to completion, the Lord’s and my times In Presence of Spirit.

I thank the readers of my writing. I am going to document, as I have done with all my writings, that I am sharing it with anyone that will run across it one day. Be that I am here now, but one day I will be gone—but not in spirit.

Thank you for reading my writings. It was a giant surprise to see how many people have been reading for over an hour to date. What am I going to do when I am out of pages? Help me, Lord, with the answers. Thank You for viewing my writings.

If any of you who are reading this have knots in your back or sciatica, I have found relief. I refused help when it was available, but now the knots are almost gone. I have relief. Thank You for reading In Presence of Spirit.

May 24, 2008

“Then he said unto me, Prophesy unto these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:”
— Ezekiel 37:4-5 (KJV)

“I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.”
— Psalm 139:14 (KJV)

“He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction.”
— Psalm 107:20 (KJV)

“He that believe on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.”
— John 7:38 (KJV)

Daily Affirmations

I. Ignited Spark: I fully awaken my spirit today, allowing the spark of the Holy Spirit to flow freely through my inner conscience and guide my steps.

II. Ultimate Healing: I cast down all chronic physical exhaustion and pain, resting in the truth that the presence of Christ restores, strengthens, and renews my body.

III. Living Testimony: I boldly share the timeless gift of my journey, knowing that my words carry the light of eternity to help comfort and heal the multitudes.

Reflection

Begun in May 2008, this deeply moving piece serves as an ultimate milestone celebrating the transition of a private, hidden manuscript into a thriving public ministry.

Opening with a prophetic call for dry bones to awaken, the author models pure transparency by sharing an intimate spiritual dialogue that was kept safely tucked away for decades.

By handling long-standing boundaries with grace, the text documents a profound relief—both from spiritual isolation and from years of navigating untreated chronic pain and physical exhaustion.

Moving well past the early days of uncertainty, this poignant writing frames the entire collection as an eternal legacy, leaving behind a permanent trail of comfort designed to clear human misconceptions and connect the hearts of the multitudes directly to the indwelling presence of 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
Standing small in the presence of life’s massive structures, anchored by an open path forward.

“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)

“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.

While the storms of the world rage on the outside, a quiet, divine work takes place on the inside.

The Lord shields our innermost being, keeping us safe so that we can emerge to capture hidden spiritual knowledge and remarkable revelations.

The Book is a Blessing: A Powerful Story of Hope

Original Writing:

The Book is a Blessing

Finding Steady Hope Along the Winding Journey

The book is a blessing; I cannot help that I believe this. I have always thought the book was not about me. “My search through the valleys, and tunnels, that my life’s circumstances have unfolded.” But it is. I did not mean to be vain, in any way.

My boldness is in the spirit of the Lord’s presence, where everything is possible. Thus the I of Me, speaks for everyone, not just myself. So it is alright that, I am in the presence of spirit in conversations with the Lord, because I am.

Thank you, Jesus, for the presence of your spirit in all our conversations. Bless the husband of my youth, with the wealth of, Your Spirit, indwelling his ever-presence, and bring him, where you need him to be. Thank you, Jesus.

My eyes, I am staying out of the sun. Even with double sunglasses, I have blind areas in my eyes. I have given Jesus my love, my attendance, and every page is “In Presence of Spirit.” But for me, I have not given myself, entirely to my Savior, for I feel, I am unworthy. The Lord still forgives me and gives me the OK, to publish Our Conversations With The Lord.

Jesus Christ, steadfastly I call out into the barren wilderness of all the lost souls. Bring them closer to home, bring them inside, themselves, where you are, “In Presence of Spirit.” September 2009

Scriptures

Luke 1:45
And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.

Ephesians 3:12
In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

Psalm 23:4
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Affirmations

I stand boldly in the presence of the Lord, trusting that He has blessed my writings to speak to the hearts of everyone who reads them.

Though I may feel unworthy, I fully accept the Lord’s complete forgiveness and His divine permission to publish our sacred conversations.

My words are a guiding light sent into the barren wilderness to bring lost souls safely back home into the presence of Spirit.

Reflection

“The Book is a Blessing” serves as a profound threshold where personal affliction is completely transformed into a global spiritual sanctuary.

Walking through the darkest tunnels and valleys of life can leave a soul feeling isolated and physically worn.

Yet, when we surrender our lives entirely to the Savior, we discover that our deepest trials were never meant to remain hidden.

True boldness is born out of this total reliance on the Holy Spirit, allowing an ordinary person to become a voice for the multitudes.

Even in moments where human sight fades and feelings of unworthiness creep in, the Lord provides His steady confirmation to move forward.

This piece stands as a beautiful call into the barren wilderness, assuring every searching heart that true awakening is always waiting right inside themselves.
