Good morning warriors!
I started making some tik toks to show the depravity of this World while sprinkling in my own humor. It really pisses the enemy off when I point them out.
I made one pointing out Converse, and my most recent was pointing out Tony Hawks blood deal he made😳

In a recent conversation with a close sister in Christ I was reminded of the story of Moses when he was commanded by the Lord to lift his rod up with his arms to keep winning the battle against the Amalekites in Exodus 17.:11-13
When Moses’ arms got tired, the Israelites would lose but when Aaron and Hur assisted him on each side by supporting his arms Joshua’s army won the battle.
Today, we are in that same situation. I believe God wants us to take back the land. America, in our case. As you can see we are in the midst of that right now.
We all need each other. Never underestimate the influence you have with one another.
Acknowledge your limitations. We were never meant to fight our battles alone.
Cling to the One who knows your future.
“Be strong and courageous, for you are the one who will lead these people to possess all the land I swore to their ancestors I would give them.” - Joshua 1:6
Think of Joshua as he prepared to lead the Israelites into Canaan—a place overrun by their enemies. (Now that sounds familiar)
Although God promised them this land, the journey to obtain the promise was long, hard, and filled with uncertainty.
Perhaps that’s why God reminds Joshua: “Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you. Be strong and courageous…” God knew Joshua’s secret concerns, and so He spoke to the fear in Joshua’s heart. (Excerpt from the following devotional) 👇🏼

This came across my FB feed. Worth sharing for those who have littles in their lives. 🥰
Don’t feel sorry for or fear for your kids because the world they are going to grow up in is not what it used to be.
God created them and called them for the exact moment in time that they’re in. Their life wasn’t a coincidence or an accident.
Raise them up to know the power they walk in as children of God.
Train them up in the authority of His Word.
Teach them to walk in faith knowing that God is in control.
Empower them to know they can change the world.
Don’t teach them to be fearful and disheartened by the state of the world but hopeful that they can do something about it.
Every person in all of history has been placed in the time that they were in because of God’s sovereign plan.
He knew Daniel could handle the lions den.
He knew David could handle Goliath.
He knew Esther could handle Haman.
He knew Peter could handle persecution.
He knows that your child can handle whatever challenge they face in their life. He created them specifically for it!
Don’t be scared for your children, but be honored that God chose YOU to parent the generation that is facing the biggest challenges of our lifetime.
Rise up to the challenge.
Raise Daniels, Davids, Esthers and Peters!
God isn’t scratching His head wondering what He’s going to do with this mess of a world.
He has an army He’s raising up to drive back the darkness and make Him known all over the earth.
Don’t let your fear steal the greatness God placed in them. I know it’s hard to imagine them as anything besides our sweet little babies, and we just want to protect them from anything that could ever be hard on them, but they were born for such a time as this.

Ok folks, I am being vulnerable and transparent here. Like Kailee said “I have no idea what I’m doing”. With that being said, one thing I am learning is when God tells us to do something we should obey quickly. I am new at all of this, please forgive my nervousness. Ha, ha. One thing I forgot to mention, I am also a RN of 35 years. Not quite retired, I still have an active license. Anyway, glad to be here. Let’s see what God does here. Blessings -Paula
Good morning warriors!
I thought it would be cool to do a Tuesday Testimony, and take moment to share some testimonies of my encounters I’ve had with strangers. I will share one story every Tuesday.
I know that when I hear people share testimonies it encourages me, plus it is exciting to see how God is touching peoples lives.
Also, I think it would be cool to hear some of your testimonies as well.
So every Tuesday, I encourage you to share something you have personally experienced that God has done either for you or someone else.
I had posted earlier on this channel a prayer list that I ask God every morning. I find that when our hearts are open to His agenda, He will most often provide opportunities for us to reach and encourage others. —Paula
1. Even now Lord, give me an opportunity to reach someone today.
2. Lord, give me a word of knowledge that includes supernatural revelation by the Holy Spirit about something that is important to you.
3. I have a busy day scheduled Lord, but I surrender my agenda for yours anytime today.
4. God is going to do something amazing today!

Tuesday Testimony: Parking Structure Encounter
Years ago, I worked for the American Red Cross as a staff nurse in the collections department as in blood collecting that it. I was part of a large scale team within the Portland Oregon chapter of the American Red Cross. We would often travel together within Oregon and Washington state and often did blood drives at college and universities. Often I would encounter very interesting people. My job was a very public job. Exposed to the community. I want to share a story with you about a young man I encountered during one of these blood drives I was assigned to.
He was the parking attendant in the kiosk booth at Portland State University, downtown Portland Oregon. The university would usually host a quarterly week long blood drive event on campus, and the Red Cross employees would make their way to the campus to set up the event. We were allowed to park in the campus parking structure but only if we had a special pass, which was obtained at the entrance to the parking structure. Now I’ve done this blood drive many times and it always has been a big deal. Students and faculty would faithfully donate their time and blood. It was a pretty cool event.
After several years of participating in this particular blood drive. The student who handed out the passes would sit for hours passing out passes so students and visitors can park. Parking is limited downtown so as a privilege we were issued a pass. I noticed a young man who seemed to be consistently attending the kiosk every event. When I would pull up to the kiosk, I identified myself as a Red Cross employee, flash my ID, and he would hand me my privileged pass. HIs only words were “Place your ticket on the dash, and park anywhere above the 3rd floor”. I thanked him and I drove the mesmerizing levels up to the 3rd level and sometimes beyond. Most of the time it was the 4th or 5th levels due to full parking status. I parked my car and headed over to the building where the event was. At the end of the day, we cleaned up and wiped down equipment ready to start the next day.
After doing this blood drive several times, I would occasionally see another student handing out parking passes, but then this same young man would always be in the kiosk the following day. Given the event was usually just 5 days, every 3 months, I began to notice him and that he was consistently the parking pass attendant. He never says much, other than where to park. He had a very flat affect. No emotion, no smile, no anything, no eye contact. He seemed distant and depressed.
I felt like God wanted me to reach out to him. So, I decided I would engage with him the next time I was assigned to this blood drive. Another 3 months passed, and I was assigned once again to PSU. I thought about the young man and wondered if he would be there again. I pulled into the parking structure, and sure enough he was there. The same kid, with the same flat emotionless look. I spoke and said to him “ You know, I see you every time I come to this blood drive, and you are always here faithfully most of the time. You hand me my pass, and I don’t even know your name, what’s your name?”
“Paul” he said.
I responded back “Well Paul, my name is Paula, and I want you to know I really appreciate you being here, you haven’t gone unnoticed”
“Are you a student here, is this a part time job for you? I hoped I wasn’t intrusive with my questions but I was curious as to why he was doing this job.
“ I am a graduate student, and this is a part time job”
Well, Paul I just wanted to know who you are, after all, I see you here most the time I’m here,and I thought I would like to at least say hi to you and tell you thank you for being here”.
He gave me a “Thanks”. I told him to have a good day.
Then proceeded to spiral my way up past the 3rd level as before, parked and walked to the 2nd story cross bridge over to the building where the blood drive event was set up. About 7 hours later we all packed up and headed back to the parking structure.

Usually at the end of the day there was always a different parking attendant other than Paul. When I exited the parking structure I thought about Paul. He always looked sad and emotionless. I can sense God asking me to reach out to Paul the next time I see him.
During this time in my walk with God, He was slowly bringing myself back to Him on the most incredible journey. I started saving cash, anywhere from 10 to 20 dollar bills. I would stuff them into a designated envelope I would carry in my purse. I dedicated this money to God as my offering to Him. I refused to allow myself to spend it for personal needs. Although, there were times I needed that money but refrained and reminded this was God’s money not mine and this stash belonged to Him. I knew He would tell me who would receive it. Every payday I would faithfully place cash in the envelope. I never counted the money, I just kept stuffing money in there. It wasn’t important for me to know how much cash was in it. To be honest, I was afraid to count it because if I thought If I knew how much money was in it. I would be tempted to “borrow” from it. “May it never be”! I said to myself. I would be robbing from God. My best estimate was anywhere from 175.00 to 250.00 was in that envelope. I didn’t need to know. As far I was concerned it was God’s money, the amount only known to Him and He knew where it was going, that’s all that mattered to me.
It wasn’t until 3 months later, the PSU blood drive event was on the docket. As usual I was assigned to work that week there. I thought about Paul. God reminded me of the cash in my God pocket and said to me. “I want you to write a note to Paul and tell him how much I love him and think about him, and that I know what he is going through and not to be afraid to call upon me and give him the entire envelope of cash”
I sat down and wrote down what I heard God tell me to write. I sealed the envelope, wrote his name on it.
The next morning, as usual my close friend and co-worker Paula H. also a sister in Christ, we would meet at the local coffee shop a block from campus. We would talk and fellowship. Paul’s name came up, only because she to noticed how depressed he seemed. I told her my plan about the letter. She too had a heart for Paul. She thought it was a great idea.
One morning on the last day of the blood drive Paula and I pulled into the PSU parking structure at the same time. I was a head of her. I pulled up to the parking kiosk first, I had the envelope with God’s letter sitting on my lap. Then I saw Paul, faithfully passing out parking passes. I waited my turn and was very excited to give him this gift from God.
By this time I had seen Paul a few days and got to know him. He was a little bit more engaging but not much. “One of these days I’m going to get him to smile” I thought to myself. Paul handed me the pass and I quickly said to him.
“I have something for you, a friend of mine wanted you to have this” I handed him the God pocket envelope.
He responded, “Oh is this the survey?”
I had no idea what he was talking about, but I said “No, this has nothing to do with it, this is for you personally” as I pointed to him with a big smile on my face. Paul looked bewildered, and took the envelope. He handed me my pass, and I told him to have a great day. He thanked me and I drove up pass the third level as usual. Now, my friend Paula pulled up right behind me and turned on her charm as my wing girl and said to Paul, “Hey, there Paul!, It’s gonna be a great day isn’t it?” She received her pass and told me what she had said to Paul.
Now I digress for a moment and must say something. You’re probably wondering why I shared my plan with my friend Paula. Well, the reason is she was my one my closet friends who inspired me. She has such a heart for people and it has been very clear in our friendship. You need to be around people who inspire you in matters of the Lord. Remember iron sharpens iron. So I felt I could share this moment with her regarding the plan to give Paul the God pocket money and letter.

It wasn’t a show of boasting or anything like that. When you are with friend who is a like minded in Christ, there is something about that. It inspires you to be more bold and courageous for the cause of Christ. Ok, back to the story. I know you are curious as to what happened, right?
As Paula and I arrived to our destination in the PSU Union Hall where the blood drive event is happening, everyone is getting there equipment ready and setting up computers, etc. One co-worker nurse named Kathy made an interesting statement and said out loud for everyone to hear.
“Did anyone happen to notice how happy Paul seemed this morning?”
“I’ve never seen him smile before, and he seemed to be in a really good mood. He always seemed so sad before”
When I heard this, I looked at Paula and she heard it too, we just looked and winked at each other and we knew Paul had read the love letter from God.
Now, come back next week and I’ll tell you what happened next...just kidding!
As always, we packed up on the last day of the blood drive, and waited another 3 months. It so happened that the next blood drive at PSU I wasn’t assigned there that time. I thought about Paul and prayed for him. Another three months passed, when I was finally assigned once again to PSU blood drive. I didn’t know it yet then but it would be my last time I was going to work this blood drive.
As I began my day, I thought of Paul and wondered if he was still there after all these past six months since the day I gave him God’s love letter and gift. When I pulled up to the Kiosk it was a different person, young girl. I asked her what happened to Paul. She told me he was taking the day off but should be back tomorrow. I wondered what I would say to him when I saw him next. I waited. The next morning I pulled into the parking structure, sure enough, there was Paul. This time his countenance was different from what I seen before. His eyes lit up when he saw me pull up. He said, “I knew I would see you again, I’ve been waiting for you to give you this” he said with a grin.
He handed me a small square envelope. We exchanged greetings, and I told him how much I appreciated him being here faithfully every morning. I wished him well and blessed him. He said thank you so much”. He gave me my pass, and I drove and parked my car, and sat quietly for a moment thanking God for the opportunity to make a difference. I opened the envelope. Inside was the sweetest note, and a gospel CD. Below is the photo of Paul’s note.

I read that and began to cry. I was so thankful that God allowed me to experience this encounter with a stranger. I knew then, that God was saying to me. “See? It doesn’t take much, just keep planting the seeds, I will bring the harvest”.
I never saw Paul again after that day. I had left the Red Cross shortly thereafter to pursue a career with a more stable schedule.
I often think of Paul when I come across his note. I keep it inside my bible resting at the page where 2 Chronicles 16:9 is found.
“For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him…”
It is a reminder to pay attention to God’s voice. You never know when He can use you, but just be willing. I was the one truly blessed.
From then on I decided I would be open to whatever God assigned me to do for Him.
Two things here. No. 1 God is waiting for His faithful servants who are willing to step up to the task.
No. 2. Physical obedience brings spiritual release... always!Unless you are willing to step out of your comfort zone you will never experience the true manifestation of God’s power.

This is why we Christians need to be very grounded in our faith. Get into the Word daily. Our identity is in Christ, and this is the one thing the enemy wants you to doubt because he knows that once you find out who you are in Christ, his tactics are less effective. —Paula

This is from Praying Medic. His YouTube channel is where I got Red Pilled a few years ago. He was a former atheist and God transformed him. He helps you identify when God is speaking to you. Sometimes, we think our thoughts are our own not realizing God is speaking to us. He teaches you how to step out in faith and trust God for miracles. This is another good read for sure!

Mental Discipline for the Digital Soldier
Military drill instructors have many goals when training new recruits. One goal is instilling mental toughness.
We're currently fighting an information war. As with any type of warfare, digital soldiers must develop and maintain the right mental attitude if they're to be victorious.
When complaining is allowed in the ranks of an army, it lowers the morale of the entire unit. For that reason, drill instructors do not tolerate whining. They demand mental toughness.
Mental toughness is the mindset that despite present perception of negative circumstances, accomplishing the mission is the top priority, the team is adequately prepared for any and all obstacles, and victory will be achieved when the team overcomes the obstacles it faces.
Your enemy is constantly evaluating your posts, and trying to develop a strategy to defeat you. Presenting a public appearance of mental toughness removes any strategic advantage they might gain over you.
