 I was thinking the other day…

“I am so, SO proud of my daughter!”🙌🏼🎉🥇


“Praise God!”…you may say. “What did she do?”


Do I need her to DO anything, to be proud of her…


As His children, does God actually need us to DO anything, to make Him proud - or has it already been done through His Son?


My daughter does most emphatically NOT need to accomplish anything to make me proud of her. 


Don’t get me wrong: There are inevitably times when our kids will DO things to make us very proud…and other times where they will  exhibit behavior that we are far from proud of. 

Give praise where praise is due…acknowledge hard work, effort and achievement…and discipline and correct immediately the need arises. This is biblical and exactly how the Lord does His parenting.


But, in a society that is pushing harder and harder for perfection - humanity’s version of perfection - we need, in the Church, to do it God’s Way.


Be proud of your kids NOW…before they achieve anything (TELL them you’re proud of them)…and they just might surprise you later. 


Don’t try and mold them into who you would like them to be: Love them for who they are…and let God mold them into who HE has CREATED them to be.


So…I have multiple reasons to be proud of my daughter…

but if you ask me why, I will reply:


“Because…”


“Yes, but why?”


“Just because…”


John3:16

The Beautiful Remnant of America Part 1

15  “Can a woman forget her nursing child,      that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget,      yet I will not forget you. 16  Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;      your walls are continually before me. Isaiah 49:15-16 This most recent prophecy is part of my “Fast for Family”, and again runs parallel with my previous visions - some of which can be read in the footnotes at the end. The Beautiful Remnant of the United States of America  i The unity of baptism : I saw many in America: Many families. They stood as if on the banks of the Red Sea, as Israel under Moses…driven there by the Holy Spirit, perused by the kingdom of the anti-Christ. They had been driven there for Baptism: (See Romans 6:1-14) I saw many families. They went down separately…and when they came up they were one: in the Lord and in each other. I realized that this type of unity…the desire and praye...

Volume III The Beautiful Remnant of America - Part 2

The Beautiful Remnant of America Part II  So they shall fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun; for he will come like a rushing stream, which the wind of the Lord drives. Isaiah 59:19 Before continuing, please ensure that you have first read Chapter 1 ~ The Olive Press https://undergod714.blogspot.com/2024/03/john-1220-among-those-who-went-up-to.html i ~ The “Hidden” Remnant   “What is a tree without its roots? Roots expand underground in the darkness - the hidden place, that the tree may stand, firmly grounded through the storm. This expansion does not come without faith, time, patience and endurance, and goes entirely un-noticed and un-acclaimed,  because it takes place underground . And yet we know that this expansion is essential to the life and health of the tree.  So it is for the Church in this hour… “What is a house without its foundations?  A house built quickly- on sand    - will not stand - but the...

Ch.9 ~ The Aftermath of the Great Fall! Part I

Introduction   Written May 4, 2021 Why I believe the Church must endure tribulation: I believe in a final great awakening...and as hard as I try, I cannot shake it off... it is in my DNA... I saw the great eagle that is the USA suddenly arise like lightning from the earth, for (what I believe) would be her last, but finest hour... and at the same time, the gospel move like a great tsunami wave, across the earth, to the farthest islands of the sea, in a playing out of Matthew 24:14;  I saw my own nation explode into the flames of revival; Europe was on fire; I watched as the continent of Africa ran red with the blood of Jesus...I saw other nations that I am not free to disclose...I saw people drop everything and run, run, RUN through the narrow gate - compelled by the deepest darkness the world had ever known...I watched the most hardened and vilest offenders stagger through this same gate and fall to their knees before the Lord...I saw in Africa, hands lifted up from souls tha...
