Continuing here. It is January 3, 2025. I’m encoding stuff from December 29, 2025 up to today.
From Brother Juan and Sister Helen:
Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving.
Colossians 4:2
Indeed, in this moment, while I’m all tense in the head, essentially transitioning out of Medstar and into Good News…
This IS a time for earnest prayer.
This IS a a time for vigilant thanksgiving.
And I give glory to my Father, for the complete reconciliation we have through His Son, Jesus Christ; For by Christ’s finished work, I have – WE have the Holy Spirit poured into us.
I give glory and thanks to our Father, because even as I write, I claim the promise of the Word in romans 8, particularly where it is said that the Holy Spirit – OUR Holy Spirit prays on our behalf…
So, even right now, as I write, as I breathe… I have reason to believe that the Holy Spirit is praying, and praying earnestly… I believe that in His intercession, He is giving thanks, with vigilance.
Oh, glory and honor to the one true God! For even here and now, He is FOR us, and NOT against us.
I hate the feeling for being on edge, this fast paced feeling that something can come up any time within these 10 hour shifts. It’s taken my focus and concentration just to get myself mentally ready for it.
Sure, I’ve probably grown soft… But I know one thing: If I was younger I would have lasted so much longer.
I mean, the verse says to continue earnestly in prayer, and here I am, being earnest. Honest with what I feel. Honest with what I write.
And, sure, while I’m at it, I meant what I said yesterday, when I said sometimes to love someone is to tell her, ‘thank you, I’m sorry, and goodbye.‘
I guess now I want to throw in something else I wrote earlier: The best way to love her is to let her live her life, and I’ll live mine… to the fullest.
Right now I am thankful for God’s everlasting love, and His perfect love that casts out all fear… I am thankful for His love, seen in His presence and faithfulness, as I explore the more painful aspects of love, and the finality in a goodbye, with nothing to show for myself.
His banner over me is love.
He surrounds me with songs of salvation and deliverance.
And yes, again, by His Spirit, I am constantly prayed over… The Spirit consistently, faithfully prays for me, especially in all I’m thinking, and all I’m going through.
Blessings, glory, honor and belong to Jesus, my King of Kings! In all I am feeling, His grace and glory are ALWAYS greater.
Thank You for Your great faithfulness, Jesus!
Now Isaac came from the way of Beer Lahai Rei, for he dwelt in the South.
And Isaac went out to meditate in the field in the evening; and he lifted his eyes and looked, and there, the camels were coming, Then Rebekah lifted her eyes, and when she saw Isaac she dismounted from her camel; 65 for she had said to the servant, “Who is this man walking in the field to meet us?” Genesis 24:62-65
Joseph Prince shared this, right before saying something like this: ‘Ladies, are you looking for a partner? Wait in the well; Rather, wait AROUND the well. Men, are you looking for a partner? Meditate on the Word.‘
I’m reminded of where I was after letting go of Mich the first time. In line with my cheesy words to the LORD (“I want to tell You I love You, before I say I love you to anyone else“)… I also have been diving into the Word during that time… and, now that I have all this in mind, I have been earnestly praying, and continually praying in earnest.
It’s something I wanted to do then, and I do want to keep doing. For my sake. For Michelle’s sake. And if I must force myself and all my being to proclaim: ALL for the greatest glory of God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Definitely going to be immersing in Christ, by way of the Word. Definitely continuing earnestly in prayer, staying vigilant in thanksgiving.
Just like right now. More than half of my first shift on my final week is over. The LORD has, and IS faithful, and I AM thankful. He has and is ministering to my heart, and all of my being.
Psalm 149
Praise to God for His Salvation and Judgment
1 Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, And His praise in the assembly of saints.
2 Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
3 Let them praise His name with the dance; Let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp.
4 For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation.
5 Let the saints be joyful in glory; Let them sing aloud on their beds.
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand,
7 To execute vengeance on the nations, And punishments on the peoples;
8 To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron;
9 To execute on them the written judgment— This honor have all His saints. Praise the LORD!
I am thankful to the LORD, and to our God…
I am thankful to my Father, who loves me so deeply. I am thankful for His love, and His faithfulness to me, to us.
Don Moen sings that God never sleeps, and He never stumbles. I specifically love how He is constantly thinking about me… even now, He thinks of me.
My Father, thinking of me… And, as I have the mind of Christ, so He thinks with me? All my fantasies, all my hypocrisies; All my conflicts and contradictions, all my ramblings and all my nonsense… All that’s fueled biologically and all I intentionally keep going back to… All before my God, and all I know before the All-knowing, Omnipotent One…
…and He loves me, as He loves us all. In all that’s going on, I move in faith and praise, knowing that I am fully righteous and reconciled. I am completely cleansed and forgiven of all sin, free once and for all from death and the flesh.
I thank God, for it is these thoughts and meditations that permeate, immerse all the rest of my concerns, in my Father’s glory and grace.
Thank You so much, Father! Thank You for everything! All glory, honor, praise, and power to Your name! Be glorified and magnified, Father! You ARE glorious, You ARE magnificent. Halleluyah!
I am free from poison and perversion, and I am free into Your promises. I am free, free indeed!

Key words in this season: Fruitfulness, yes, but also Documentation. There’s a need to set things into stone. I’m reminded of Justinian, the Emperor whose writings and reforms impacted our laws up to this daw. I want to have the same impact… I know all comes from the Lord and all is sustained from the Lord, but I suppose I have all of this in mind – or rather, I SHOULD have all of this in mind in all that’s set before me: Documentation for church, for my own personal life, for business, and so on.
Regarding fruitfulness, if it hasn’t already been said… We’re to be focused more on the Spirit and therefore bearing the fruit of the Spirit, and not producing the works of the flesh.
In line with this, we also place emphasis on the Word by way of meditating on the Word, that we would be as a tree planted by streams of water, bringing forth fruit in its season.
Keeping in mind also, where it is said in the Word, that by their fruits we shall know them – I venture to have us consider that we either bear fruit or we don’t. We shall know people by their fruit, or their complete lack of it.
…and I venture to have us consider even further, that as we bear fruit, we continue to affirm and validate what is true of us – that we abide in the Vine. And, also, that He is with us, He abides in us because He is good, and because He loves us.

16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.Galatians 5:16-26
Therefore:
- Because you walk in the Spirit, you ‘do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.‘ (Romans 6:12)
- For it is the Lord who keeps us ‘from presumptuous sins;’ He shall ‘Let them not have dominion over (us).’ – Indeed, ‘sin shall not have dominion over (us), for (we) are not under law, but under grace.’ (Psalm 19:13, Romans 6:14)
Sin does not have dominion over us, because:
- We walk in the Spirit.
- It is the LORD who keeps us from presumptuous sin.
- We are not under law, but under grace. (Elaborate on this later)
Also,
- The LORD directs our steps by His Word, and no iniquity has dominion over me. (Psalm 119:133)
Back to Romans 6:14 (‘We are not under law but under grace’)
Galatians 5:18 – We are led by the Spirit, and are not under the law.
4 Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another—to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God. Romans 7:4
Regarding the Law:
7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”Romans 7:7
8 But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully, 9 knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10 for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine, 11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust.1 Timothy 1:8-11
- We have died to the law.
- We are not under law, but under grace.
- Sin does not have dominion over us.
- We are married to Christ, that we should bear fruit to God.

The One who became dust is now the Vine.
The One who thirsted now gives of the fountain of the water of Life.
I’m at Uncle Jimmy’s place here at the ‘Klondykes’ of Kennon Road. On one side of the house is their land, with such potential. On the other side of the house is the Bued River… Hence, the realizations.
Still more or less hazy, as to the particulars of the theme of this year. I mean, I know it, and I said it: We are FRUITFUL this year.
For all that happens to us, we bear the fruit of the Vine, we bear the fruit of the Spirit.
For all we do, we do out of our meditating on the Word. We are planted by the streams, and we bear fruit in its season.
It’s my intention to emphasize that fruit comes out naturally, and with minimal to no effort.
Also my intention to emphasize that we bear fruit: That is, Christ is the Vine who produces the fruit, and we bear it.
Also my intention to emphasize that we only bear fruit, and we do not work: That is, we’re known by our fruit, or our having none at all.
Also my intention to emphasize that this fruitfulness goes FAR beyond mere health and wealth – it’s really love, peace, patience, joy, faithfulness, kindness, goodness, gentleness and self-control.
We bear fruit, contrary to toiling upon the soil which produces thorns and bristles.
It is the natural step to our themes for the past years? Is fruitfulness the natural next step to movement (2023), trusting in the Lord (2024), and receiving revelations (2025)? Are these intentions I’ve mentioned well and good?
Am I in line… Rather, are WE in line with the visions of the other congregations of the body of Christ?
As I wrote all of that, I could hear my Mom, Uncle Delfin, and a female Anglican priest in a discussion of belief, ‘personal relationship with Jesus’, and so on. I walked away to be with my thoughts and away from theirs, admittedly.
As Mom was sharing, I thought: Was Mom working, or was she bearing fruit? She’s quoting Scripture. I’m hearing her. She’s going on her tirades of religious folk not necessarily internalizing the Word.
Well, she has a point. I’m only praying it’s a cooperative discussion, and not an argument. It turned out that way. They all ended up laughing, and my prayers have been answered.
Jesus produces fruit in us, indeed. But in this case I’ve seen, it’s fruit flavored as only my Mom’s being could.
Amen.
