When I first taught this song about dreams becoming reality, I recall a friend saying “To really enter into it fully will require a seismic shift in the spiritual realm.”

With Kash Patel being confirmed as the next director of the FBI on the heels of Pam Bondi, Bobby Kennedy and Tulsi Gabbard’s appointments, things we could have only ‘dreamed’ about seem to be actually becoming realities.

Could it be that the world of corrupt politicians is being supplanted as we witness four people who are fallible humans but seem to sincerely want to serve others and the nation rather than themselves?

I find Dr Steve Turley’s succinct analyses about the radical shift that is going on in the US and more broadly in the world at large, quite helpful.

In this podcast from 10 minute mark, he talks about an emerging “Aristopopulism” a vertical paradigm that transcends the old horizontal binary of left and right.

It is what in our KINGDOM LIVING teaching series in Community of the King we would have called Servant Leadership.

The community was born in the 70s out of a desire by young people to see an authentically passionate, pure and powerful expression of ‘the kingdom of God.’ as demonstrated on the pages of Acts.

In another interview with Rob Marin, Turley discusses Vice President JD Vance’s recent remarks about Ordo Amoris that again was part of our teaching on God’s priorities in KINGDOM LIVING.

Here is that link.

It seems we might have authentic leaders emerging who do not just ‘talk the talk ‘ of a ‘Christian’ name game to garner votes, but who are serious about building a culture that truly expresses the Kingdom of God on earth.

As I reflected on the extraordinary crash of a plane flying from here to Toronto where it was literally ‘turned upside down’ I realized it was prophetic of what is happening in our world today. There were 76 passengers (cleansing) who escaped largely unharmed , each helping the other to get freed from their seat belts to reach safety! They even received a gratuitous $30,000 each from Delta! The flight number 4819 totaled to 22 (sons of light)!

You’ll remember that all (2)76 were saved in another prophetic crash – the ship wreck in Acts 27.

Is Is.49 being fulfilled in our day?

“God also says: “When the time’s ripe, I answer you. When victory’s due, I help you. I form you and use you to reconnect the people with me, To put the land in order, to resettle families on the ruined properties. I tell prisoners, ‘Come on out. You’re free!’ and those huddled in fear, ‘It’s all right. It’s safe now.’ There’ll be foodstands along all the roads, picnics on all the hills— Nobody hungry, nobody thirsty, shade from the sun, shelter from the wind, For the Compassionate One guides them, takes them to the best springs.
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭49‬:‭8‬-‭11MSG‬‬

Again this speaks of the ‘seismic shift’ we are now witnessing where we will more and more enter into the (humanly) unimaginable ‘upside down’ world to experience the sheer delight of ….’When the Lord brought back the captives out of captivity.”

Next weekend we host another Your Smiling Face encounter. Cultural change is no substitute for, but is downstream from, personal spiritual transformation. Again we will see ‘the good shepherd’ lead ‘harassed and helpless” sheep to The Big Green House to make them lie down in green pasture beside still waters in order to restore their souls.

We hope to help them journey along the road of truth to personal freedom in order that they too might use that freedom in the service of God and their fellow man

We look forward to reaching an even higher summit together, as we likely conclude once again by dancing in a circle, and ecstatically proclaiming……

“And our mouths are filled with laughter Ha!Ha!Ha!

And our tongues with songs of joy La!La!La!

the Lamb of God is risen, Ba!Ba!Ba!

And our Father is in heaven Da!Da!Da!.

This week saw the confirmation of Bobby Kennedy as Secretary of HHS.

I also received an enquiry from a friend who was in a quandary about whether or not to vaccinate his children.

So I thought it timely to post the conversation below between two docs whom we have long respected. Although the main topic is childhood vaccination they then touch on Bobby Kennedy’s plan to make America healthy again.

I have in my blog for some years been expressing the same concerns as the two docs. I believe this is essential listening for would be parents (and grandparents)

As always Johnny Enlow’s prophetic insights following the Eagles win over the Chiefs is most uplifting. Here is that link.

https://rumble.com/v6j6i2p-johnny-enlow-unfiltered-142.html?e9s=src_v1_mfp

The first time I heard the phrase “Ad Hoc” was when the Presbyterian Church in Ireland appointed an “Ad Hoc committee on Special Fellowships.” of which our ‘Youth Fellowship” in Gilnahirk Presbyterian church was deemed to be one.

The outpouring of the Holy Spirit known as the charismatic movement’ in the 60’s and 70s had given rise to phenomena unfamiliar to Irish Presbyterianism such as the raising of hands in praise, praying for the sick, and street ‘witnessing’ about Jesus.

Arthur Blessit, who died just a few weeks ago, had come to town carrying his big cross and creating quite a stir

‘It might be in the Bible but it is not in the Presbyterian Blue Book’

This was the concern of our local elders as they were charged to meet with us and get to the bottom of this awkward turn of events that was threatening the ‘status quo’

Subsequently our fellowship was ‘put out’ of the Presbyterian church.

10 years later the Presbyterian church in Ireland called an extraordinary assembly to assess the ‘spiritual condition’ of the church. They concluded that the very things we had been expelled for 10 years previously were in fact what the church needed!

Such is the role of a prophetic people.

The phrase “Ad Hoc’ came to me again the other night when Father gave me the title for this blog.

It is a Latin term that simply means, ‘for this’

It stands over and against that which is ‘in general.’

I recalled having written a song once (I can’t remember much of it now except for the opening phrase …..

“For this, we were created……..”

I understand now the truth contained in the Presbyterian catechism I learned as a boy is to know, not just academically but in an ongoing experiential way what it means ‘to glorify God and enjoy Him for ever.”

This is God’s purpose in the outpouring of the Spirit.

The kingdom of God is…… righteousness, joy and peace in the Holy Spirit’ (Rm.14:17)

This ‘kingdom’ is the little boy pictured above, captured by the Holy Spirit as he watches Ben sing at ‘the cocktail hour’ at the wedding last weekend.

‘Hallelujah! Hallelujah!, Hallelujah!………..”

‘Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! had rung out at the church from somewhere behind and above. It was from Ben’s. MASSA DEUX liturgy.

https://mercyseat.bandcamp.com/album/massa-deux

The buzz of conversation had dissipated. A holy hush had descended. All sat still in ‘the presence’

The bride was delayed, but time seemed to stand still as all remained silent in the ‘for this’

It eventually came my turn to pick up my guitar at the front to lead the responsorial psalm.

I fumbling began to play and sing. Faltering further I just stopped!

‘I’m sorry’ I said “My mind is still filled with Ben’s Hallelujah! I’m going to have to put the guitar down. Let’s just speak the psalm together.”

At the reception a lady sidled up to me.”Sometimes you just have to punt.” She muttered kindly before fading back into the crowd.

But that punt had made way for what others described as a perfect entering together into ‘the kingdom……..in the Holy Spirit.”

Whether by forced humiliation or chosen humility it is only the children who can enter.

Ben had picked up his guitar and the same Spirit that had fallen in the ‘Our Lady of the Mountain Catholic Church’ fell again at the ‘cocktail hour’ as he strummed and sang out Leonard Cohen’s ‘secular’ anthem.

Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah!

A reminder again that ‘for this’ is not limited to any ‘general’ category be it a place a time or a form

……..for I AM who I AM

And we are all invited to participate in the marriage supper of the lamb as part of His ‘Ad Hoc committee of special fellowship’

What a Day we live in! A turning point indeed for America and the whole world.

As those of you who know us are aware over the years we have found the ‘little picture’ of our personal life experiences often intersects with the ‘big picture’

Last weekend it happened again!

Let me share it with you for your encouragement.

32 years ago, the year before our whole family moved to America, I was invited to a small gathering of brothers in Estes Park Colorado.

One afternoon finding myself alone in the cabin, I picked up the guitar and was given the song, The Heaven’s Declare. (An all time favorite but as yet unrecorded song, it is after all these years planned for the album Ben is currently working on, The Whole of Creation.)

Last weekend we were invited back to Estes Park again, this time to participate in the wedding of one of our spiritual daughters who had lived as part of our family in The Big Green House for four years.

32 is the number of God’s covenant love….into which we are invited as a married couple.

I became aware when we were there that this was yet another Victory Lap.

You’ll remember the song I was given to sing on each Lap was On The Day You Were Born better known as The Freedom song.

I was to sing it not just for the individuals but for the nations. It is based appropriately on Zephaniah 3:17 (17 for victory and the initial 3 laps)

You’ll remember the timely gift featured on the last blog post….the 17×5 (Victory of Grace) sign

Having last year completed one Victory Lap east in this nation then one to an eastern nation then a third to a western nation, this completed a 4fold assignment, by going west in this nation to another state we had visited many times in the past.

The bride and groom had requested we have ‘a prayer meeting’ for those who wanted and had arrived the day before the wedding.

I opened up that morning with Good Mornin Dad and as you can see above, Dad showed off his ‘smiling face’ in the sky overhead.

I sang the song as from Father to the 25 gathered….

‘On the day YOU were born I danced over you….you’re the child of my love,……you’re my choice.’

Many in the room had never met before, and so we then went around the circle and so each person was named as they received the truth of Father’s word to them from everyone else.

We came to the bride and groom and all sang….

‘Vincent you’re the child of my love you’re my choice…….Nicole the child of my love you’re my choice.’

When you ‘marry’ these two names, you get……

The Victorious Victory of The People.

I realized this was a proclamation for the nation of America.

This same weekend Donald Trump has been inaugurated as President of this nation. He has committed to see power taken out of the hands of the ‘kings of the earth’ and returned ‘to the people’.

This was the heart of Jesus message in ‘the sermon on the mount,’

……that true (kingdom) power and victory do not lie without, but within each person as they surrender to and become disciples of the one true King of Heaven and Earth.

At Denver airport as I walked through the gate for the return flight, the airline attendant called me back.

‘Sir! Be prepared for me to check that guitar….It’s a very full flight!‘ she warned.

As I made my way down the aisle I noticed there was one overhead compartment large enough to hold my guitar that was still available. I hoisted the guitar, which had accompanied our proclamation over America, into its ‘grace space.’

….and then noticed the bin number.

.…..and then the letters

……The Banksters defeated.

‘The one enthroned in heaven LAUGHS…..I have set my King on my holy hill’(Ps.24,6)

“Freedom! Freedom!

Let all creation sing.

As we take the hand of our Father

As we take the hand of our King.”

The title of the recently released movie about Bob Dylan’s life is taken from the song, “Like a Rolling Stone’

It depicts the meteoric rise from obscurity of the folk /rock legend of a local lad from Hibbing Minnesota beginning way back in the 60s .

Our mailman doesn’t deliver a lot of ‘personal’ mail these days, as for many of you I suspect?

However this week we got a ‘personal’ letter from another Dillon

Joe Dillon’s wife Sue, was writing to us from Iowa, to let us know that Joe has ‘gone to be with Jesus’ a few weeks ago.

I can’t remember how we were introduced to Joe and his devoted wife Sue many years ago but I can remember how they used to regularly drive the 5+ hours to come to their first retreat and then to our fellowship meetings for a season.

After the first retreat Joe was remarkably changed. His profound mental anguish gave way to a most pleasant and peaceful disposition.

We lost track for some years and then last year they appeared again on our doorstep. Our happy reunion was overshadowed by the news Joe has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. His demeanor however was as pleasant and peaceful as ever!

Today the letter arrived from Sue informing us of Joe’s graduating from this life. The obituary read,

“Joe, a Vietnam Nam vet, dedicated 27 years to the US Postal Service where he was admired for his hard work, humor and camaraderie with coworkers. Faith and family were central to Joe’s life. He was a devoted ‘born again’ Catholic.A true fisher of men Joe had a profound gift for sharing his relationship with Jesus, faithful;y speaking the gospel to family friends and strangers alike. He had a genuine love for people and a gift for connecting with others often striking up conversations with anyone he met. Known for his beautiful penmanship he often hand wrote Bible verses to uplift those around him.”

It occurred to me that Joe was another “Complete Unknown” Dylan/Dillon, whose penmanship never led to fame or fortune but did ‘uplift’ the circle of influence that he was given

It just ‘so happened’ that in the same mail delivery there was another ‘personal’ parcel also addressed to Paul and Hilary.

It was postmarked from Canada, from our friends Carolyn and Muroslav, whose wedding we participated in on the first of our three, become five ‘Victory Laps’ last year.

We opened it to find this beautiful plaque.

And this amazing;y timely and appropriate note inside

It was Father’s double witness confirming the message of this ‘GodBlog’

At the end of this brief life it’s not about how known we have been on earth but how known we are in heaven

……as we complete the Victory lap in Christ that we have been given to run here as His for the most part ‘unknown’ but ‘faithful servants’

As I completed the blog. I chuckled….. and heard the echo from above.

…from “The humorous Mailman with the beautiful penmanship.”🙂

I never know what I will be given next to blog about!

Scanning my last blog I noted the highlighting of verse 25 from chapter 23 in the book of Jubilees and thought of our transition to the year 2025. This is earmarked to be a year and a time where those with the childlike humility described in that verse will be relearning what is the truth.

Johnny Enlow’s latest Unfiltered episode is an encouraging perspective of what lies ahead taken from Isaiah 25.

Here is the link

https://rumble.com/v6489h7-johnny-enlow-unfiltered-136.html?e9s=src_v1_mfp

My last sentence in the previous blog was…

“Thankfully we have a Redeemer.”

Let me pick up from there………

This week I had my usual WW4K Bible study with my three grandsons swollen to four with Freddie visiting from New York.

We are studying the story of Ruth.

I was struck by this verse,

“She said to them, “Do not call me Naomi (grace) call me Mara, (bitter) for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me. I went away full, and the Lord has brought me back empty. Why call me Naomi, when the Lord has testified against me and the Almighty has brought calamity upon me?””
‭‭(Ruth‬ ‭1‬:‭20‬-‭21‬ ‭ESV)

The point of the story of Ruth is captured in the last few verses of ‘begats’ in the book where we see Naomi’s ‘calamitous loss’ of husband and two sons, transformed into a ‘win’ for the whole world as her offspring Obed takes his place in the lineage, ultimately, of Jesus.

Only with hindsight at the coming of The Redeemer, was this first ‘Mary’’s personal ‘calamity’ seen to have been fully redeemed.

What Naomi experienced as a personal ‘calamity’ turned out in the end to be a monumental victory for her and for humanity.

Are you facing a ‘calamity’ at the moment?

Personally I would say we are looking at two or three situations currently that could be described as ‘calamities’

This story inspires us to trust fully in the greatness and goodness of our God for these situations and dear ones.

I spoke last about ‘millions’ in the context of vaccines ….’not in a million years,……. not for a million dollars’. Maybe you or someone you know were one of the ‘millions’ who were tragically injured (or died) as a result of ‘the jab’ or other harmful behaviors imposed during the COVID hoax.

(If you doubt the veracity or magnitude of this statement I would suggest checking out the research at the Steve Kirsh substack…..

https://kirschsubstack.com/

…or here is another short Bobby Kennedy clip

…but ‘There is a Redeemer’ who can transform ‘calamities’ so that we can remain Calamity Calm rather than Calamity Jane in the midst of the storm, knowing we know the One who knows the end from the beginning.

Here are two practical helps for those affected adversely by the jabs.’ This includes myself because although I did not take ‘the jab’ subsequent illness has been ascribed by 2 doctors to shedding of ‘the bioweapon’ and treated successfully accordingly.

The two treatment approaches I would recommend are first spiritual and then physical

In a blog during the height of the scamdemic I suggested applying the 5 ‘R Steps’ we teach at Your Smiling Face retreats or ‘Keys’ in Neal Lozano’s book, Unbound.

Repentance for sin. Release (forgiveness) of those who have offended us. Renunciation and Rebuke of evil. Receiving afresh the Father’s healing love.

Secondly there are a number of protocols that have emerged that show promise in undoing the harm of the jabs. Here is one….

https://covid19criticalcare.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/FLCCC_Alliance-I-RECOVER-Protocol-Post-Vaccine.pdf

Freddie and his family set off this morning to return to New York.

As we said our farewells at our front door I read out the quote from Lord of the Rings on the plaque pictured above that hangs there.

Our final time together had been watching the extended version of the final movie, The Return of the King.

It looked like ‘a calamity’…….Mankind would be destroyed! Middle earth conquered by evil!

Then the epic battle sees The King wielding the reforged sword, leading mankind and aided by supernatural beings, sweep away all opposition before him.

These last years have been ‘a global calamity’ in the sense of human suffering and loss. Yet in its wake there has been a ‘rude’ awakening to the reality of GOOD vs. EVIL bringing with it the opportunity for people to choose afresh for the side of GOOD…..for the side of GOD.

In the words of Sam Gamgee….

‘……There’s some good in this world Mr. Frodo, and it’s worth fighting for!”

Or to repeat my own words about the sword of the Lord which is the word of the Lord that will not return to him void…

‘Toward the final conflict God’s word our command

We move inevitably onwards God’s weapons held in our hands

In Him we shall do more than conquer before our Lord who can stand

Man shall glorify his Maker, God shall be enjoyed

And that one called the Deceiver. His works shall be destroyed.”

So KEEP CALM

………..trusting in the Lord with all of your heart.

(Bill Maher interviews Dr Casey Means)

The Book of Jubilees is an ancient Jewish apocryphal text of 50 chapters, considered canonical by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. In chapter 23 we read,

24. And the heads of the children shall be white with grey hair,
And a child of three weeks shall appear old like a man of one hundred years, And their stature shall be destroyed by tribulation and oppression.

This well describes the deteriorating state of children’s health in the west and especially in the USA today. Bobby Kennedy has been crusading for years on behalf of our children through the Children’s Health Defense

https://childrenshealthdefense.org/

With his appointment as Secretary for Health and Human services he will now have the largest federal budget to implement his authentic largesse.

The text continues.

25. And in those days the children shall begin to study the laws, 
And to seek the commandments, 
And to return to the path of righteousness.

Then we read of a wonderful turn around….

26.And the days shall begin to grow many and increase amongst those children of men till their days draw nigh to one thousand years. 
And to a greater number of years than (before) was the number of the days.

A promise of health and an extension of life beyond what had been known (before) ……the flood.

The key to this turn around is highlighted in verse 25. There needs to be an unlearning and then a re-education as the children begin to study that which they have forgotten or has been kept from them.

I was trained in ‘allopathic medicine’ at Queen’s University Medical School. Allopathic simply means ‘against symptoms’ It often ends up focusing on managing the symptoms of an illness rather than identifying and treating the root cause.

When we moved to the US with no NHS and no salary, we were forced to look beyond ‘the government’ for a ‘doctor’s’ help.

Interestingly the word ‘doctor’ comes from the Latin for ‘teacher’

We are all meant to learn how to take responsibility to keep our bodies in health. Of course ‘Our help comes from the Lord the Maker of Heaven and earth’ God is our teacher and physician and our first recourse as believers has always been and continues to be when we or one of our children fall ill we ‘take it to the Lord in prayer’.

James asks. ‘Is anyone among you ill?’

He doesn’t suggest taking yourself to Casualty or the ER as a first response, but rather seeking the Lord for a causation that may require a ‘confession of sins’ and then a ‘laying on of hands’ and ‘anointing with oil.’ (James 5:14)

This last instruction was an early part of my being retaught as a ‘doctor.’ in the US when over lunch one day in response to my coughing fit a friend pulled out a little bottle from his pocket and said,

‘Here try this.’

It was our introduction to ‘essential oils’ the ‘life blood’ of plants – God’s natural medicine cabinet. These have become a mainstay for our health and healing ever since.

Another part of my re-education was to do with learning about the shady origins of modern allopathic medicine, something that was never touched on at med school.

It is captured in the story surrounding The Flexner Report where the monied oil magnets saw an opportunity to market their resource through patenting the key ingredients of God’s medicine cabinet, and attempting to recreate them from petrochemicals, discrediting any competitors as ‘quacks’ and selling them to profit from a gullible propagandized public.

They of course failed to improve of the Maker’s blueprint but rather facilitated a subsequent money maker in the treatments of these drugs ‘side effects’.

It was ironic last week to read of a Nobel prize winner from Harvard referring to Bobby Kennedy’ s appointment as ‘a return to ‘witchcraft’’. It is the Greek word for ‘witchcraft’ or ‘sorcery’ – pharmakiea from which we get the word pharmaceutical as in the pharmaceutical industry.

The ‘monied’ elite establishment again are seen opposing the courageous truth seekers and speakers. Nothing has changed since Jesus day.

I saw a recent quote where Kennedy said,’Not in a thousand years would I take the flu shot.’ It reminded me of my response when someone asked me a few years ago if I would take the Covid shot. I replied, ‘Not if you gave me a million dollars.’

The evidence is now overwhelming that what some labelled ‘the ‘kill shot’ was indeed part of a nefarious ‘depopulation’ agenda’

Thankfully we have a Redeemer.

To be continued….

Last week I got my yearly 2024 Wrapped report from Spotify.

I was interested but not surprised to discover that my most listened to song was Born into A Battle

You can listen to it by clicking here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc8mE1SBmhA

Then the other day I listened to an Ivor Cummins interview with DR. JACOB NORDANGARD entitled. ‘The Incredible History of How We Got Here”

As with Medicine so with History we need to question everything we have been taught. This is an enlightening insight into the machinations of the ‘evil’ and hidden actors who have influenced our world over the last 500 years.

You can listen to it here.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xqm3jjmCwjk

It was the closing few minutes that caught my attention when looking to the future Jacob used the word INEVITABLE to describe the confidence the two shared about how ‘good would intimately triumph over ‘evil’ and ‘truth’ over ‘falsehood.’

I am not aware of the word INEVITABLY occurring in any other Christian song’s lyrics than Born Into A Battle.

…’We move inevitably onwards; God’s weapons held in our hands.’

The fact that Born into a Battle is currently my ‘top’ song indicates how acutely aware people are of the spiritual battle that has been and continues to rage ……..

but also of the final outcome of this ‘War of the Ages’ as described in the Presbyterian catechism I learned as a boy…….

‘Man shall glorify his Maker

God shall be enjoyed

And that one called ‘The Deceiver’

His works shall be destroyed.‘

Just as I was about to post this blog I listened to the latest Johnny Enlow Unfiltered.

It was a perfect compliment to the earlier interview which did not give a biblical faith perspective of what is now developing. Johnny begins with some ‘on the ground’ good news and then helps us re-learn on the mountain of Religion.

I was confirmed in posting it here as it ends with the scripture that forms the chorus of Born into A Battle

‘For the kingdom of this world shall become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ and He shall reign forever and ever.’

Here is the link……

On Saturday for the third year in a row Hilary participated in a Christmas Artisan fair with her WEEONESWEAR

She was assisted by me, so St Paul was in St.Paul’s church in St.Paul city.

The church venue was on Summit, appropriately named because it occupies the ‘high ground’ overlooking the city of St.Paul.

Summit Avenue is home to the longest stretch of VICTORIAN era homes in the United States!

As I prayer walked it again this year for the third time I heard from Father echoes of our ‘Three Victory Laps’ from earlier this year.

The ‘Visit St. Paul’ website states,

‘……there were 440 glorious homes on Summit Avenue.’

44 is the number for ‘chosen.’

‘Famous architect Cass Gilbert (who also designed the Minnesota State Capitol) designed eight houses on Summit. The most famous is the Lightner House at 318 Summit.’

318 represents the ‘remnant of grace’ who are indeed called to be those who fulfill Isaiah 60 as they shine as a Light in the dark world in these days, and to fulfill Matt.5:14 as, “A city set on a hill that cannot be hidden.”

When on previous years I walked this stretch that Saint Paul’s own F. Scott Fitzgerald once described as “a mausoleum of American architectural monstrosities”, and world-famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright dubbed, ‘the worst collection of architecture in the world”, I sensed the Lord say that evil in the earth had now reached its zenith or Summit. ( I recalled when we first moved here someone telling me, Anton Levey, or some other famous Occultist had actually lived on Summit)

That we are ‘over the hump’ was confirmed to me by our experience at this year’s fair.

Hilary felt she should diffuse the oil Abundance on our stall. The first mom who spotted our stall immediately purchased $100 of clothing for her adorable 1 year old. The number 100 speaks 0f Abundance.

We had several deep meaningful spiritual connections with folk. For example Hilary had felted and repurposed one of her own sweaters for BIGONESWEAR. At $40 it was a steal and was quickly scooped up by a lady who then realized the only way she could pay for it was to retrieve the small amount of cash she kept in the car for emergencies….but never had occasion to use….until now!

She returned with 2 crisp $20 (redemption x2)) bills – exactly the $40 she needed which lead into a deep conversation about God’s providence….and the significance of that number 40!

We ended up selling twice as much as last year!

I say ‘selling’ but truth be told Hilary is almost giving these garments away! If her time was to be properly remunerated she should be charging much more. These upcycled articles are lovingly recreated as ‘one of a kind.” out of nature’s fabric – pure wool, that has been felted and reimagined from adult garments.

With a frequency of 5000 Hz they energize rather than, like synthetic materials, deplete the body’s energy. Waterproof, durable and easy to care for they are worth their weight in gold as proven over the 5 years they have been tested out on our cared for grandchildren.

Father however spoke to me last night that it is the intention of the loving hands and heart behind their creation that makes them priceless instruments of healing .

We pay 20% of the takings to the host church. It came to $147 It had to be by cash or check. We were lead to purchase some items using cash and we had no check book, so we emptied our pockets and counted our money…..We had exactly $147!!!🙂

Cue for a song from Psalm 147 which speaks of the glorification of those ‘who fear the Lotd’

The highlight of the day was to see the expression of a delightful little girl whose heart was set on a beautiful pink jacket.

‘Look it fits me Daddy’🙂

‘Yes my love, It’s yours.’ 🙂

Her name was Noelle meaning Christmas festival where we celebrate God’s amazing gift of love to us – His son!

The pink color reminded me of Restoration where all that has been stolen by the enemy will be restored by our loving heavenly Father, as the evil kingdom which has held sway on the mountaintops of society gives way in the coming days to the Kingdom of God, the increase of which knows ‘no Summit!

This is the really Good News we announce from the Mountain Top

P.S. This was a rather unexpected way for me to begin to follow on from the positive response to my question last blog about my sharing more personally some insights on heath and healing.

The prize for the wittiest reply goes to Eugene who matched my “dead hang for 90 secs’ claim with……”I used to be able to hang a door in 10 minutes, now I just hang on to them.🙂“

So which one would you trust to help you improve your health, the current US secretary for Health and Human Services or the president elect’s nominee……before or after Trump?

It appears we truly are facing into a second American Revolution.

Make America Healthy Again is one aspect of this revolution.

With the remarkable team Trump is assembling the pole is no longer about right or left but about up or down as in ‘which wisdom are you drawing on, the wisdom from above or the wisdom from below?

‘“……..But the wisdom from above is always pure, filled with peace, considerate and teachable. It is filled with love and never displays prejudice or hypocrisy in any form and it always bears the beautiful harvest of righteousness! Good seeds of wisdom’s fruit will be planted with peaceful acts by those who cherish making peace.”
‭‭James (Jacob)‬ ‭3‬:‭13‬-‭18‬ ‭TPT‬‬

As I watch (antiwar) Kennedy work out I’m reminded of the passage in Hebrews that speaks of the peaceable fruit of righteousness. that is the result of godly training that may be painful for the moment.

This video caught my attention personally because like Bobby Kennedy** I too am 71 years old and like him pull-ups are one of the ways I keep my self healthy.

At 71 I can still run 100 meters in 17 seconds. That’s another sort of Victory (17) Lap🙂

I can do 40 push ups and 10 pull ups at a time and dead hang for 90 seconds. I haven’t been to an allopathic doctor (trained like I was) in probably about 20 years, and I can’t remember the last time I took a pharmaceutical drug.

I’m not saying all this to boast, but in Thanksgiving to God who has given me this gift of health.

As the ‘Victory Lap’ story about the 10 lepers in Luke 17 illustrates, ‘sozo’ healing goes beyond physical healing to a healing of ‘spirit, soul and body’.

Our Your Smiling Face retreat is built on the foundation of 1 Thessalonians. 5:23,24…..

‘Now may the God of peace sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept sound at the coming of the Lord. The one who has called you is faithful. If he said it, he will do it!’

This ‘wholistic’ health is also illustrated in Bobby Kennedy’a personal story as his journey into health involved a journey out of addiction and into a personal relationship with God.

It occurred to me that my readers might be interested in my blogging on this more personal ‘pastoral’ note by sharing some of the practical things Hilary and I have learned about caring for the ‘temple of the Holy Spirit.’

If that would be of interest to you.….please let me know

Thankful for your journeying with us over these many years.

Paul and Hilary
