Gathered Around the Fire

IN THE BIBLE  EGYPT   WAS ALWAYS A SYMBOL OF THE WORLD.  Specifically, a symbol of  depending  on natural resources, natural understanding, and looking for natural solutions to spiritual problems.  You are trusting in the staff of this broken reed, Egypt , on which if a man leans, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So  is  Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust in him. 2 Kings 18:21 King  Sennacherib Because the sovereign ruler of Egypt would not release God's people to worship. outside of Egypt.  The 10 plagues came to Egypt in the first days of the year leading up to Passover. Each plague the God of Israel sent to uncover the powerlessness of one of the gods of EGYPT. They could not deliver on the expectations of their worshippers.  Egypt's 10 gods - Egypt's 10 plagues  Hapi - 'water bearer' 'giver of life ' - Water turned to blood 7 days .  Geb , (god) of the earth. -  Lice from the dust   ...

WHO KNEW? = PRAYER FOR COVID-19 HOT SPOTS BEFORE THEY WERE HOT SPOTS.  The following page is my notes written during the Prophetic Round Table in Belle Plaine, MN on Jan 20, 2020. I found this on my computer on May 21, 2020. I was amazed to see the last two phrases which were a prayer we prayed at the end of that night.  Prophetic Round Table 1-20-2020 Belle Plain, MN  The Two Silver trumpets hammered out of a single block of Silver – Numbers 10:1-10 The  Lord  spoke to Moses:   “Make two trumpets of hammered silver to summon the community and have the camps set out.    When both are sounded in long blasts, the entire community is to gather before you at the entrance to the tent of meeting.     However, if(only) one is sounded, only the leaders, the heads of Israel’s clans, are to gather before you. “When you sound short blasts , the camps pitched on the east are to set out.    When you sound short blasts a secon...

  ARE YOU CONTAGIOUS?  WHEN YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH WHAT COMES OUT? What you say, reveals the overflow of your heartfelt emotions. What is flowing out of your mouth? That's what is in your heart! What you speak, you bring to life, you grant power to what you say. What comes out of your mouth is contagious. Is it FAITH OR is it FEAR? If your heart is full of FAITH then you have no need to 'mask' your heartfelt thoughts. If your heart is full of FEAR you need to cover your mouth Let your voice be like a trumpet! Read these Scriptures out loud   as declarations. Do it right now!   D o it  often to 'sanitize ' your heart  and cleanse your lips. I have Love!   I have Joy!   I have Peace!  I have Long-suffering.   I have Goodness.   I have Gentleness.   I have Meekness.   I have Faithfulness.  I have Self-control .    Gal 5:22-23 I ca...

DOES POPULATION DENSITY HELP DETERMINE WHERE TO REOPEN AMERICA? The last time I looked at NYC - Manhattan has a population density of over 66,000 persons per sq. mi. and Corona - Queens neighborhood has a density of 216,000/sq. mi. I compared that extreme to the state of Alaska with a population density of only 1 person per sq. mi.   My point was that  'one-size-fits-all' guidelines or restrictions do not ensure health and safety nationally and they do not work at the state level either. In my native Minnesota, the BIG city of St. Paul where our governor lives the population density is 5,818/sq. mi. Similarly,  Minneapolis has 7,019 persons per sq. mi. In contrast, Cooke County has a density of 3.72 persons per sq. mi. and Lake of the Woods County has 3.1 persons per sq. mi. That is a ratio greater than 2000:1!  (7,019:3.1 = 2,264:1) How could anyone imagine that one-size solutions would fit all the counties of Minnesota? People who live in the nine c...

MY PLAN TO OPEN AMERICA - or at least open Minnesota A ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL APPROACH DOES NOT MAKE SENSE? BUT I GUESS NO ONE 'BACK EAST' CAN SEE IT! Consider this... Where do the Power Brokers live and work? They live in really BIG Cities like NYC, D.C., - Manhattan has 66,940 people/sq. mi. or about 641 sq. ft. per person * - Corona, Queens, NYC  is the densest  neighborhood , at  216,000 residents/sq.mi.  or only 129 sq. ft./person. Including all the outside spaces.  Living there would be like living totally within my small bedroom which is 10' 9" x 12' = 129 sq. ft. or only 1/4 of the apartment shown below.   New York City neighborhood population map. 600 square feet of space  Senator Schumer Mayor Belosio, ABC,  MSNBC,  CNN,   FOX News  WSJ,  NY TIMES,  etc. etc. etc.  Power Brokers also live In BIG cities like Washington D.C. with 10,298 people per sq. mi. or only 2,700 s...

What is COVID-19  Candy Care? I came up with an idea, but I cannot take credit for it. I simply merged three ideas together that came from other sources.  The first idea was to make a difference in your immediate neighborhood.  They suggested offering to grab something at the store for your neighbors while you are already out. Limiting the need to travel, and limiting exposure for others.  The second idea was to write a note, offering that assistance and to go door to door and greet your neighbors while maintaining a distance. Perhaps with a small gift like candy to brighten their day.setting the candy down on the porch and talking from several feet away.   The third idea was to use my county's property tax' website to discover who the owners are for each house.  I merged this last idea with the other two. I decided to move forward with writing a letter and deliver it door-to-door in a gift bag of candy).  By pulling up the prop...

  THE PROMISE OF NEW LIFE - the last Day of Unleavened Bread The Church of Jesus Christ truly is 'His body'.  Could it be that the promise in the seven-day Feast of Unleavened Bread is actually a promise to the saints both the 'Dead in Christ' and those of us who are alive, that our bodies would not ultimately see (corruption) but will be raised to immortality at the day of Jesus Christ?  Spiritual safety and security   " being confident of this very thing, that  He  who has begun  a good   work in you   will complete  it  until the day of Jesus Christ ; "   Philipians 1:6 This first verse is interesting because it covers the entire wilderness season between our 'exodus' from the world system through personal salvation and our ability to stand before Him faultless on that day when he returns. and " He is not slack concerning His promises."  But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day...
