 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...

Ch.13 The Unraveling ~ Part III

I saw a world without borders: As if all borders between nations (at least, borders as we understand them to be)  had been dissolved  - the anti-Christ system had seen to that…but of course, the Lord was way ahead of him and using it for His purpose and His glory.   I knew that the unraveling was not going to stop until the End. And it would end in the very place where the Gospel first began: Israel  ~ see previous chapter. i To Every Nation And this Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached throughout the world, as a witness to all nations and then the end will come…Matthew 24:14 {From  Kim Clement vision ~ “The Resurrection”: see prefix to ch.3 “Last Call” Kim Clement: “Everybody SHOUT!…there’s a victory!…Shout and clap your hands!” This one final surge against the darkness…God’s “Last Call”…seemed to penetrate everywhere…people started rushing from all over…every tribe and people…even unto the farthest islands of the sea…through the Door that is Christ…and which...

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...
