Ending the Throne Room Blog and Beginning a New Chapter

Isaiah 41:19a NKJV

Behold, I will do a new thing,

It’s been a while since I posted on this blog. So much has happened since then. My best friend, Robyn Gool, left me to go to his Heavenly home and join the great cloud of witnesses. I look forward to seeing him again. In the meantime, after grieving my loss, I have received the comfort of the Holy Spirit and have accepted the call to pastor the church Robyn started with me by his side, assisting him in fulfilling the vision over the years. It is clearly what my husband of 48 years desired, and what I believe the Lord would have me to do. I miss him so much and will honor his memory. By God’s grace I intend to continue to carry out the assignments consistent with the vision of VCC.

As I end “The Throne Room” blog, the entries made over the years will remain on our website and you can review them whenever you want to. I hope the entries have blessed and helped those of you who visited this page regularly, and will bless and help those who will drop by in the future. I am now about to begin a new program that will be similar to Robyn’s “Power Packs.” So, look out for it and join me in the near future for “Light Snacks.” Psalm 119:130 tells us the entrance of God’s Word gives light and brings understanding. This will be our theme scripture as we record short videos to encourage and enlighten you as you continue your journey with the Lord. Shalom

Angelic Activity Increasing?

Psalm 91:11-13 NKJV

For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
12 In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.

You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

Psalm 91 has one of the scriptures that lets us know angels are active on our behalf. There has been an increase in supernatural activity, from people of all ages suddenly experiencing the presence of God while they are alone to rainbows appearing where there was no rain and a fiery pillar connecting Heaven to a tent crusade. Chase after the Lord and don’t miss out. Ask. Seek. Knock - not just to chase after the supernatural, but to chase after a deeper relationship with the Lord. The supernatural will happen as you draw closer to Him.

A few nights ago, I dreamt a snake that appeared to be a cobra suddenly popped up in my bed. I reacted quickly and began to shout at it. I realized I could not fight well where I was, so I jumped out of bed to get in a better position. My husband heard my shout and a loud noise as I hit the floor in the natural realm. I woke up. The strange, supernatural thing that happened was that I was on the floor in a sitting position ready to fight. It is impossible to fall out of a bed which was high up and land in such a position. Not only was my position impossible, but I felt not one slight bit of soreness that would be normal from a fall. Even if only for a moment, anyone would feel the impact of a fall from a bed, unless it was very low. My husband and I marveled at what we were seeing. In order for that to happen, I had to be carried by angels and cushioned when I hit the ground!

So what is the mystery behind the dream? The snake in the bed represents spiritual warfare involving someone I have some type of relationship with. The sudden appearance shows it is unexpected. The getting in position to fight instead of running away indicates my spirit was built up so I expected victory. The supernatural positioning on the floor is a fulfillment of Psalm 91:11-12. Angels are active on my behalf and the Lord has me covered. No worries! I must stay vigilant and react with a consciousness of the supernatural on my side. As my husband titled a sermon recently, we must FIGHT, STAND, WIN!

Mysteries of the Kingdom - A Bird Brings a Message

Monday, May 2, 2022 I heard a loud bird sound while in my room. It sounded like it was in the room so I assumed it was near the window. I went to the window and found a tiny bird right outside the window. (The picture that you see with this blog is the actual picture of the bird that visited me.) I began to talk to the bird. I asked if it had a message for me. I said some humorous things like, “Did you bring a sandwich?” and “Do you speak English?” I made some bird sounds. All the while I was amazed that the bird was not afraid of me and kept staring at me, blinking its eyes sometimes. I went for my phone and came back and took a picture. The picture did not come out clear because of the window screen. I went outside and took a close-up shot. I was amazed that the bird allowed me to get close and take the picture. It was facing the other direction when I was inside the house and it turned its body around to continue staring at me when I came outside to take the picture. It continued to stare at me. I wondered if it was injured and could not move. Not long after that, someone came by and I took them over to see the bird who was still in the same place. As we began to examine it and wonder why it was not moving, it flew away. It was amazing! The bird got my attention with a loud sound but never said anything else after that. It just stared at me. Later I realized it was bringing a message I had to search out. I decided to see what the Bible said about birds. The thing that stood out to me before I opened the Bible was that Jesus used them to teach us not to worry. Matthew 6:26 NKJV says, “Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?”

Proverbs and Ecclesiastes talked about birds when warning about traps. Ecclesiastes uses the bird to refer to words intended to be private getting out.

I especially paid attention to Luke 12:4-7 that talks about sparrows which are small birds because the bird that came to me was very small. Luke 12:4-7 NKJV says, “And I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, fear Him! “Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.” So I knew one message was to have no fear of man when I am on God’s mission.

In the days following this unusual event, I had experiences that related to all of these scriptures. Checking the scriptures when you have an unusual experience like this is one way to discover mysteries the Lord has hidden for you. Remember that our Father does not hide things from us but He hides them for us. Its up to us to seek and find what He wants us to learn.

Mysteries of the Kingdom - No Disconnects

John 7:38-39 NKJV - He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” 39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Last night I dreamt about a large, long pipe made up of many connectors through which water was pouring down a hill. I went to the top when I noticed there was a breach in the pipe. One connector was loosed from the piece below it and water was wasting out of it. There was a boy there and I was rebuking him for not seeing to it that the pipes were connected.

We want to be a vessel of the Lord, delivering holy water to those who need it. The detached connector at the top represents something we need to settle with the Holy Spirit who pours into us so we can pour out to people in need. Let’s watch out for breaches in our connector at the top so the precious gifts of the Holy Spirit are not wasted and stopped from getting to the ones who need it. May we follow all instructions, be still to make sure we are getting His instructions, and purge ourselves of anything that could come between us and the Lord.

Not Shaken

Psalm 46:1-3 NKJV

God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear,
Even though the earth be removed,
And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 Though its waters roar and be troubled,
Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah

What will we do when an earthquake happens in North Carolina? Or some type of natural disaster hits your state? Let’s not wait for something to happen to figure out the answer. Let us rehearse our position ahead of time. If we are unable to stop something from hitting our area, we must have the mindset of the psalmist who wrote Psalm 46. God is our refuge - our hiding place and our place of protection. He is our strength. He enables us to handle any circumstance and make it through whatever comes our way. (Philippians 4:13) When trouble comes, Yahweh is not only present, but VERY present. So we are able to remain calm even if we feel the earth beneath us shaking. If there is a tsunami that follows the earthquake and it reaches the mountains, shaking them, Our attitude is illustrated in verse 7: “The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah”

Thou shalt have a God!

Exodus 20:3 NKJV - “You shall have no other gods before Me.”

I saw this verse and saw interesting things I did not see before. This famous first of the 10 commandments is so familiar to me that I never saw anything else other than we were not supposed to have any other gods besides Yaweh. Today, I saw the following:

1. You shall have a God. (You cannot “have no other gods” unless you have at least one. So, ponder what a god is and think about what it means to have one - especially the one true God. You do not need a god for what you can do yourself. You need a god to help with what you cannot do. A god is supposed to be supernatural.)

2. You shall have only ONE God. (Once you decide who is God to you, no one and nothing else can take His place. Your god will not be favorable to you if you refuse to obey and serve Him. If you treat Him like a genie you will not be very successful. A god requires certain things in order to enjoy his benefits. Our God is good and kind and merciful even to those who are disobedient. However, the disobedient will see His goodness with the intent that they will repent and do what is right. God is not mocked. If you only have one god, then the rules you follow will not be what someone else decides upon. You will follow His instructions and no one else’s if they contradict Him.)

3. There will be no competition with other gods. No one can be compared to our God. That includes any person (doctor, teacher, governmental officer, family member, etc.) Nobody should be allowed to override what God said.
