‘Consistency’ in Awareness!

More Thoughts

Loved of The LORD, to continue in this direction of conscious awareness, I was pleasantly surprised that writing enhanced and strengthened it. Let me explain.

I have this ‘little thing’ that bugs me. My neighbor has gofers and does not consistently eradicate them. The neighborhood is inundated with them, so it is an ongoing challenge. When one invades my premises, as soon as I am ‘aware’ I proceed to drown them out and/or gas bomb them. That way they do not get to establish their tunnel systems.

BTW! I have cursed them in JESUS’ Name and my neighbor 2 doors north has told me not to curse them in his direction! He has wound up with some in his yard, every time I have done it, whether it was the same one(s) or not.

Well, back to the chase! After writing ‘The Awareness’ I was heading out for another skirmish and I was making it a ‘Joint Venture’ and we, (HIM and I) were agreed how we were going to approach the endeavor. It was a GREAT two hours as we destroyed the tunnels back into the neighbor’s yard. We finished off the task with a gas bomb in the other yard.

Soon after, I found myself in the car on the way to the gym and very ‘aware’ that I was not alone. I found myself driving like it was my first time, so ‘aware’ of every thought and action, while on our way. During these times we were relating to how instrumental that writing ‘The Awareness’ was like a catalyst for this ongoing conversation.

Funny (Not Ha Ha) that I started yesterday morning out with Watching a video that our friend down under sent a link to us ... Louie Giglio . On GODTube.. ... YET not half way thru it and Conference Calls (for Business) started … and I went full bore from then on, except for another 2 hour "Gofer Battle" Break!

Later that day, as I replied to an e-mail with the 'When God Paints' link, I then went back and watched Louie all over again from the beginning! Good Stuff! Just what I needed to go along with 'The Awareness'!


I do have to admit that those last 3 hours were a solo run. I have been trying since last Sunday to figure out AdSense and get it on the rest of my Blogs and had a ‘near miss’ awareness. My 'Near Miss' was I finally got it on dpg.com and back up into Awareness and that was where I watched ‘When God Paints' etc.

This might or might not seem like a bunch of babble to you, yet I am excited about ‘How Good my GOD Is’ in answering my need. Should this speak to you, I would appreciate your comments below.

Until next time, Be Blessed, 1 aka DP is my name and ‘Writing is my game’!

Have You Twenty-six Minutes For Jesus?

The Heart of the Matter

A moving compilation of messages that speak to the heart of the matter.


Loved of The Lord,
Even after writing what I did in the previous post and needing to address my morning disciplines, and then look to the mundane activities for today.
I have to confess that I wrestled with, "was I going to take The 26 minutes to watch this?"
I am glad I did! Thanks Keith!



NOW! Are Not You Glad You Did Too?

Faith Under Pressure Part 1

Loved Of The LORD, need to give you a little more of this “Won Preacher’s” Domestic Ministry to lead into the next Story. To preface even this portion, I have to go back three decades to re-commitment to The LORD, as my Savior and making HIM LORD of my life. Remembering seeing seasoned believers watching me (And Helping me grow.) with a big smile on their face. Myself being blessed and basking in the deliverance from Alcohol, Tobacco and a Filthy Mouth partaking of that Real Live Zeal for GOD and HIS Ways, that never shadowed by the neophyte finesse that was always present. I always came forth with a “Praise The LORD!” at Every opportunity, never intimidated by who may be present. Laying hands on and praying at the drop of a dime.

Today I still enjoy being around a Fired Up Baby Christian and love to love them and encourage them, as they Splash all over me, while having that same grin on my face as those present thirty years ago watching me.

No Doubt most of you know about ‘Brother Andrews’ “GOD’s Smuggler”. That phenomenal work “Open Doors” accomplished getting Bibles into the USSR and China since the fifties is a ministry classic. Still going strong and are continuing that ongoing ministry even today, getting ready for the 2008 Olympics. What a blessing for us to have a part in sponsoring a brother who was smuggling bibles into China back in the Eighties.

Said all of that to say this: In that first fifteen years or so being a part with the FGBMFI, when Demas was still alive, (A men’s Global Parachurch Organization) we found ourselves somewhat smuggling food & clothes into Mexico. The reason was that Mexican Customs &/or Immigration wanted ‘Payola$’ or at least a cut of what we were taking in. Enabling us to minister to fledgling churches, orphanages and even just setting up on the street, feeding, and clothing poor people while one of the brothers published The Gospel in Spanish.

On one of our trips, we were taking a Van in to a little Church for their use in the ministry. Something was wrong with it and it was barely making it up the hills on the way to San Diego. We stopped at several Gas Station Garages and trying to fix the problem, put on a new coil, a new fuel pump, filter and several other things to no avail. We were always in a caravan, when the van started to fail the driver and his partner would raise their arms out the windows signaling for prayer, and in turn, the rest of us in the different vehicles would do the same thing as we let them know we were in agreement with them. That must have been a sight to others on the road. They have no idea of who we were or what we were doing.

The van did not have current tags on it and going up one hill a CHP was passing all of us up on this two lane road and got stuck behind the van. No arms out this time, nevertheless, we were all praying and after what seemed like 10 minutes, the CHP passed the van up with out stopping it. Talk about the Praising The LORD!!! As if The Lord put Blinders on him, to never see the expired tags!

This is longer than I thought, so let me finish with this. In San Diego and with all these new parts the van finally quit. I pulled up behind the van and we joined our hearts and minds. With the hood of the van up, I started to jiggle different things on the motor while making the comment, “The only thing I know what I was doing is just laying hands on it and believing GOD would intervene.”

While doing this an experience came to mind about me having a an old Studebaker doing just about the same thing. What I finally figured out after several days of it trying to quit going up a hill was that the fuel line had a tiny pebble it front of the fuel filter. Keep in mind that we had replaced all of those things. I started to trace out the fuel line and when I reached the gas tank I found a kink in the line that only let a nominal amount of fuel get to the pump, but when there was a demand from the pump still only a metered amount would get thru.

That was the day that another verse of Holy Writ became my own personal promise. Let me paraphrase.

John 14:26. But the Helper Himself, the Precious Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My Name, He will teach you ALL things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I Taught you! said to you.

How many times HE has brought to my remembrance things HE has taught me in the mechanics of construction, using the same words again, ministering not in the traditional way and too many more to mention.

Next week our trip to Moldova and how I tie this above to it.
