The Song of The Redeemed: With Lifting Up Their Hands

Nehemiah 8:1-8
1 And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the street that was before the water gate; and they spake unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel. 2 And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month. 3 And he read therein before the street that was before the water gate from the morning until midday, before the men and the women, and those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law. 4 And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchiah, and Hashum, and Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam. 5 And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people;) and when he opened it, all the people stood up: 6 And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped the LORD with their faces to the ground. 7 Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law: and the people stood in their place. 8 So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.

Beloved husband Zion Oholiab, the penetrating power of the Blood of Jesus Christ is powerful enough to wash away the deepest embedded sin, the darkest and deepest sin-stain.  Hallelujah!


Around three o'clock this morning, I awakened to a sense of flooding, and then found proof thereof.  That was after other flooding last evening as Connie and I were listening to a revival message about soul winning and instant messaging back and forth about that.  That time, the flooding soaked through all of my protection and clothes and into the third layer of a comforter I had folded underneath me as a chair pad.  It's in the washer now, the second time in as many days I have had to launder it, both times for the same reason. 

This morning, I was trying to figure out how to get out of bed in a way to minimize the damage, and I was thinking about the penetrating power of blood, and then I remembered this video (and a longer one, with a diagram showing Jesus' blood soaking down through the ground to the mercy seat below -- believable, because the LORD God is thorough like that):

Ron Wyatt talking about JESUS blood sample

When you see where the Holy Spirit led me from there, hereinafter, you will understand the fresh power of that wording, "penetrating power of the blood" of Jesus Christ. 


Jesus Blood Never Fails Me (Duration 2:36)



This morning, I got up to tend to the clean up and after that was finished, felt impressed to go to the computer, I wasn't sure what for.  Eventually, I was led to check February 5ths, and from that, found a string of correspondence from my father to public officials that started on February 5, 2004.  My father started off writing to Senator John Kerry, who was campaigning at the time:

You are wishy-washy -- which ever way the wind blows -- and you are furnishing plenty of proof to that effect. 

You campaigners for president have included in your rhetoric this thing about there being two Americas: Senator Kerry, there is and has always been only one America and those who try to preserve it and those who try to destroy it.  I, myself and mine, fill the former category, you and yours fill the latter category, and there is no proof to the contrary.  

We have been monitoring these matters firsthand, closely, for nigh on to two decades, and I and we know what we are talking about and from whence we come.  

There are three key words (one repeated) here that are all important: Get lawful - stay lawful!  That is the thing that you and yours dare not do, for once you do it, you have joined me and mine, and your unlawful -- genocide-committing -- house of cards disintegrates.  

I see you campaigners, and I see what I have been looking at since the '30s - politicians hoodwinking the American public.  How long must we endure this?  In Florida alone, given a population of nearly 17 million, how many do you and yours claim: 9 million... 10 million... 11 million...?  How many?  

Sincerely,

Robert F. Blevins

If Judge Mathis wanted my father to stop sending him copies of these messages, it would have been enough for him to have stopped after the first statement (which was an unlawful request, in any event).  The second sentence (a question) reveals the attack that was inherent in the entirety of the judge's response.  My father responded as follows:

February 6, 2004

Honorable Robert K. Mathis
Administrative Judge
St. Johns County Judicial Center
4010 Lewis Speedway, Suite 365St. Augustine, FL 32095

Judge Mathis:

One of the most basic laws we have is the obligation imposed on every man not to strike another without some lawful excuse, and such constitutes a clear example of an irrecusable contractual obligation, irrecusable being "A term used to indicate a certain class of contractual obligations recognized by the law which are imposed upon a person without his consent and without regard to any act of his own" [Black's Law Dictionary, Sixth Ed., 1990, p. 829]. 

The government of these United States, top to bottom, across the board, federal, state, and local have struck me and mine first without some lawful excuse and said government keeps likewise striking me and mine; the very first time the government did so rendered the contract voidable: void as to wrongdoer, the government, but not void as to wronged party, myself and mine, unless I and mine elect to so treat it.  Void contract is one which never had any legal existence or effect and such contract cannot in any manner have life breathed into it.  Without regard to who likes it or who does not, or who feels uncomfortable being told or reminded about it and who does not, the aforesaid dictates all matters. 

There are two divisions: the one division is the one in which I and mine belong: the lawful division, the wronged party division, the division with some lawful excuse.  The other division is the one into which the government and its aiders and abettors fit: the unlawful division, the wrongdoer division, the division without some lawful excuse. 

Now we turn to you, Judge Mathis, and to the correspondence you and I have exchanged this morning (entire string forwarded herewith below). 

First of all, you asked to be removed from my email list, to exposure to my distributing the truth.  You only take that route in order to harass and commit genocide on me and mine: you are supposed to know and are held responsible for knowing that if you truly want to be removed and not just to harass then there would be no need for you to send me any email or in fact contact me in any way. 

For nearly two decades I have been monitoring this genocide-committing system and know whereof I speak and from whence I come.  I have made it a point to stay lawful and I remain lawful, and the other side, the wrongdoers, have tried repeatedly to maneuver me into doing something unlawful.  Well, being the wronged party in a breach-of-contract situation, I have wide latitude of things to do that would still be lawful.  One lawful option I choose to exercise is to expose what you and other wrongdoers like you are doing to me and to mine, to We, the People.

Now, in answer to my asking you,  

"Given the inescapable reality that the governing bodies of these United States, top to bottom, federal, state, local are inescapably in breach of contract, with lethal consequences, including against me and mine: what are you suggesting?  Do you claim that I have done something unlawful?  Be clear, and specific!" 

You respond as follows:

"What you have done wrong is to harass me for no reason by sending me copies of your stupid e-mails. Once again, I suggest you seek counseling and leave me alone."

Judge Mathis, I asked you whether you claim that I have done something unlawful and I challenged you to be clear and specific in your response; instead, you sidestepped my question, introduced an irrelevant term - "wrong."  Including in so doing, and particularly given your in-breach-of-contract status, you have struck me again and again, all of it without some lawful excuse.  What you are attempting is to exercise authority which has already been forfeited for you, to breathe life into a contract which cannot in any manner have life breathed into it, an impossibility on the face of it; and that is the inescapable law of the matter. 

As far as harassment goes, you have that backwards: You are harassing me and mine, and that is the inescapable truth. 

You keep harping on counsel: that's the problem.  My now late wife Ruth Elvada Denniston Blevins and I retained counsel - lawyer-law firm William R. Webb - Carlson Meissner, et Al. - on December 24, 1987, relative to a motor vehicle accident that had occurred less than 48 hours prior in which the other driver was deemed to be alone at fault (violation of right of way) and in which I, alone, reported injuries as a result of said accident.  Mr. Webb and his law firm, as aided and abetted by the United States government, top to bottom, across the board, federal, state, local - including you, yourself, Judge Mathis, as part of the government - having murdered my wife continue murdering me and certain other of my wife's survivors.  That is not allegation: that is the inescapable truth. 

William R. Webb now sits as a judge by fraud and felony and has done so since on or about January 27, 1995, still my attorney, the case (Case No. CA91-6383, Division H) his - his law firm's - obligation to settle lawfully to my satisfaction and to stand to be sued by me and/or mine, for sky's-the-limit.  Including via my correspondence and the correspondence of my daughter Kimberly A. Blevins we have reported this matter to you, a public servant, at your publicly listed email address (e.g. from The Florida Bar website); and you, including but not limited to in your role as a sitting judge, sworn to uphold the United States Constitution and the Constitution of Florida, and more, have certain inescapable obligations in regard thereto and you are responsible for knowing what they are and for carrying them out. 

I can understand why you are upset: in your position I would be upset too; however, I would properly identify the culprit(s), the wrongdoer(s), which is you yourself and yours, the in-breach-of-contract-against-the-people-government... and I would set about mitigating consequences rather than exacerbating them as you are doing. 

Where do we go from here, Judge Mathis, if you are truly a judge and not just another Bill-Webb-type: where do we go from here?  I and mine are fighting back, defending ourselves, and we are doing so lawfully.  I do not in any manner believe that you are as ignorant - uninformed -- as you pretend to be! 

As far as counseling goes: you, yourself are being counseled, lawfully, including hereby and herein, and that counsel can be reduced to the following: Get lawful - stay lawful, and see what happens! 

I assign you and all others to whom this correspondence is distributed, whether by me directly or indirectly through others, to review and stay up-to-date on the contents of the Ruth Elvada Denniston Blevins website, with a particular focus on my, telltale, letter dated December 7, 1997 to the United States Department of Justice: the URLs are, respectively http://groups.msn.com/RuthElvadaDennistonBlevins and http://groups.msn.com/RuthElvadaDennistonBlevinsAppendixA

You obviously misunderstood my advice. I am suggesting that you seek Mental Health Counseling.

That's a wrongdoer standard, to (in some way) villainize their victim(s): that is also hallmark genocide.  Our practice has always been to keep the puck in the other guy's court on these matters.  A favorite tactic that wrongdoers use is to change the subject, change the focus.  My father put the focus back where it needed to be; his final response was as follows:

Judge Mathis:

You have said to me, “You obviously misunderstood my advice. I am suggesting that you seek Mental Health Counseling. “  Judge Mathis, what event or events specifically give rise to such a statement or suggestion from you? 

In return, I would suggest the very same for you, and for fake judge Bill Webb, and others like you, except that I think you and he and they are too far gone to benefit in a helpful manner. 

Moreover, in my experience with lawyers – and a judge is a lawyer on sabbatical – I have learned to take certain things they say for the opposite of what they say; applying that to your remark, what you are really saying translates to: “You, Mr. Blevins, in no manner need to seek Mental Health Counseling, I, on the other hand, do need such help, if, indeed, that will even help me.”

In any event, you have said nothing, absolutely nothing that survives breach of contract, and you, as part of the government are definitely in breach of contract, with lethal consequences, against me and mine.  My advice to you does not have to have anything to do with your mental condition except that you get lawful and stay lawful and see how things turn out. 

Before you respond further, and without regard as to whether I have already suggested same: I assign you to visit the Ruth Elvada Denniston Blevins website, and if you so desire, include clearly and comprehensively what you would have done in my place. 

Our email accounts have been unlawfully cut off yet again, and thereby, our Constitutional rights are abridged, yet again: all this by a power that has forfeited its lawful authority, and this gives rise to just how strong our case really is against this genocide-committing government, of which you, yourself, are part and parcel. 

In closing for now, examine yourself candidly and see whether you, yourself, are of a sick or sound mind.  It all comes down to this, you can say whatever you want, without regard as to whether you have the right to say it; but before you can become effective against me and mine, you must do something which cannot be done: breathe life into that which cannot in any manner have life breathed into it; namely, my contract with my country, with my government. 

Sincerely,

Robert F. Blevins

According to my records, Judge Mathis did not respond further.  My father's response was, as he calls such things, "a stopper." 

This morning, reviewing all of that, in line with the leading to look at February 5ths, I felt moved to find out whatever happened to Judge Mathis, and found the following article (my comments added in blue italics):

Judge Mathis lets gavel go after 3 decades

By KEN LEWIS
The Times-Union, 

ST. AUGUSTINE -- A family tradition fades from the St. Johns County Courthouse today when Circuit Judge Robert Mathis retires nearly a year after his son's tragic death.

A judge who pursued a career in law for fear of breaking his father's heart now walks away from it, heavy-hearted. A public man becomes more private after a 30-year career in which he touched upon the lives of thousands in St. Johns County.

"The last few years have been kind of rough, the last year particularly," said Mathis, 55. "I just really need to take some time off.

In his 30 years with the state, Mathis worked as a prosecutor, county judge and circuit judge. Practically born into the legal system, he followed the lead and dreams of his father, the late St. Johns County Judge Charles Mathis.

David Mathis was poised to follow that path as well, about to apply to law school when his life was cut short. He and his wife of five days, Mary Kathryn Forbes, died in a crash on Interstate 95 as they returned from a honeymoon cruise.

"Retirement's not going to help that," Mathis said.

But retiring early enough to enjoy life has always been part of the plan for Mathis, who wants to spend time fishing and hunting. He said he hasn't stopped working since he stocked shelves and manned a soda fountain at 13 at an old pharmacy.

His father's work ethic and his sense of justice and fairness molded him, Mathis said.

"My dad was very aware of propriety, and he expected that I would not get in trouble and do what I was supposed to do and behave myself," Mathis said. "And I always tried to live up to his expectations. I didn't want to disappoint him."

New judge

Applications are sought to fill a judicial vacancy created by the retirement of Circuit Judge Robert Mathis. Completed applications must be delivered to William Loucks of the 7th Circuit Judicial Nominating Commission in Daytona Beach by 5 p.m. Feb. 11. Loucks can be reached at (386) 254-6875.The names of up to six candidates will then be submitted to the governor.

THE MATHIS FILE
Judge Robert Mathis
Age: 55
Family: Wife, Theresa,sons Robert Jr. and the late David, stepdaughter Rhieanna Raulerson, stepson Daniel Raulerson
Education: Bachelor's degree, University of North Carolina, 1971; law degree, Florida State University, 1973
Career highlights:
Assistant state attorney, 1974-1983;
St. Johns County judge, 1983-1991;
Circuit judge, 1991 to Jan. 31, 2005

After graduating from St. Augustine High School and attending University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Mathis enrolled at Florida State University School of Law. His father wanted him to be an attorney.
"I tried not to," Mathis said. "But when I was accepted, I couldn't say no without breaking his heart. ... It was the right profession."

He became the second assistant state attorney in St. Johns County in the mid-1970s, working with Assistant State Attorney Richard Watson and State Attorney Stephen Boyles. Watson was his primary mentor, after his father, he said.

Watson and Boyles are now senior circuit judges for the 7th Circuit, which includes St. Johns, Volusia, Flagler and Putnam counties. Senior circuit judges assist other circuit judges during scheduling conflicts, and they help minimize caseloads. Mathis will be a senior circuit judge after his retirement as well.

"Judge Mathis has been one of the brightest judges that we've ever had," Watson said. "If you take everybody in the courthouse, including me, he is the brightest."

He and Mathis prosecuted felonies together in the 1970s when the courthouse was in downtown St. Augustine, as opposed to its current location off the Lewis Speedway a few miles north of town. Mathis also prosecuted juvenile cases. In one oddball case, he prosecuted men accused of burning down a trailer set up by game wardens trying to stop poaching in what is now Guana River State Park.

Eight years into his career, Mathis won an election for St. Johns County judge. In 1990, he won his seat as Circuit Court judge. He won each election since then, unopposed. He presided over some of the county's most notorious cases, such as the accused thrill-killing of a taxi driver and his friend by teenager Andrew Busby and getaway driver Eugene Blythe in 1998.

Twists and turns included a lawsuit against the federal Drug Enforcement Administration after Mathis was shot in the neck by an agent during a mock-hostage drill in 1999. About 15 law enforcement officers acted out the drill in Mathis' courtroom, until a blank fired by a DEA agent shot paper in the judge's neck. Mathis, who volunteered for the drill, settled the case out of court for an undisclosed sum in 2002. He hasn't worn a tie since.

One of the most difficult cases he remembers was having to sentence a mother to prison for a DUI manslaughter conviction. The woman killed one of her own children in a car crash while driving the wrong way on U.S. 1. Cases involving vehicular manslaughter in general were always difficult, because many of the defendants had no prior records, he said.
"I clearly couldn't do it now," Mathis said. "Even before, it was a difficult decision."
Several months ago he switched caseloads with Circuit Judge J. Michael Traynor, who formerly presided over civil cases.
"He's been a colleague who shared his experiences and his knowledge of the law and of being a judge with me, as I've asked him," Traynor said. "And he's been a friend."

Mathis' retirement will create a vacancy in the circuit level the governor will name someone to fill. A judicial nominating commission is accepting applications. The other judges knew Mathis might not finish his term, Traynor said. They anticipate receiving help from the senior circuit judges.

The St. Johns County Bar Association is throwing Mathis a private retirement party tonight. Local lawyers and community leaders will honor him.

"I would say he's been a very conscientious and dedicated judge for 22 years," Bar Association President Debra Alexander said.

I had not known all of that, and of course, was sorry to learn of Judge Mathis' personal tragedy and heartbreak.  I looked further and found: 

St. Augustine Couple Killed Returning From Honeymoon

TITUSVILLE, Fla. -- A chain-reaction accident on 

Interstate 95 on Thursday left a honeymoon couple dead in a fiery crash and snarled traffic near the Kennedy Space Center.The wreck, north of state Road 407, closed the interstate in both directions for more than two hours.

Vehicles were detoured into Titusville and Port St. John.According to authorities, a minor accident around 10 a.m. slowed traffic in the northbound lanes. In the slowdown, a semitrailer slammed into the back of an Acura and forced the car into another truck. That touched off a fire, killing the car's driver and passenger, said Florida Highway Patrol Trooper Kim Miller.

Church Where Couple Was Wed Prepares For Their Funeral

The couple was identified as David Mathis, 23, and Mary Mathis, 23, of St. Augustine. 

David Mathis is the son of Circuit Judge Robert Mathis of St. Augustine.The couple was married last Saturday, and were returning home from a honeymoon cruise out of Port Canaveral."It was the beginning of a new phase of their life," family friend and retired Judge Richard Watson said. "I had not been to a wedding that I thought the people were more in love than this one." Watson said David Mathis was preparing to go to law school and planning to following his father's career path.The driver of the Winn-Dixie tractor-trailer that struck the Acura suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to an area hospital, Miller said. Two other people were treated for minor injuries at the scene.  A representative for Winn-Dixie told Channel 4 the company has conveyed the deepest sympathy to the victims' families, and is "deeply, deeply sorry for the tragedy."The truck driver, Roosevelt Jones, 56, from Jacksonville, offered blood for testing, but Miller said alcohol isn't believed to have been a factor.Winn-Dixie said it is conducting its own internal investigation into the crash, and is working closely with the highway patrol.A funeral for the couple is scheduled for 11 a.m. Tuesday at St. Augustine Memorial Church, 32 Seville St.

The Lord is revealing something in all of this, prophetically, and we must pay attention to what He is saying.  What the Holy Spirit revealed to me while writing this is that the death of David Mathis and his bride Mary signifies the plague on the firstborn.  This is puzzling to me, because I do not know whether David is Judge Mathis' firstborn, but that was the word of the Lord, the meaning of this matter. 

On March 25, 2004, when David and Mary Mathis were killed, the devil was out to do what the devil does: kill, steal, and destroy. 


Jesus, on the other hand, comes that we might have life and life more abundantly (John 10:10); and that is what Jesus has been about all along.  Jesus is King of kings and Lord of lords, and we are about to see His sovereignty displayed in ways we have never yet seen, gloriously, in sweeping revival.

Farther Along -- Brad Paisley (Duration 5:27)




Brad Paisley - Live at the White House (Duration 9:54)


Around 1:40 on the counter, Brad Paisley is talking about November 4th (2008), "It was unbelievable to see, from my vantage point as I stood there and watched the world turn on a dime..." 

Regardless of our political views, we all can afford to step back and take note of what the Lord Jesus has been and is doing, and rejoice in His ever-increasing clarity in all of it. 

Our beloved son President Obama has been criticized, including recently, for errors, such as mixing up "Iraq" and "Afghanistan" in an interview.  Whenever this kind of thing happens, I always have a sense that it is because his mind is set on higher things.  It's even more than that; for some strange reason, I find it endearing and even think, "Yes, Lord, he really is my son!" 

Oh, I know the sort of backlash such comments might bring, but I invite anyone so inclined to come on up to where the air is so fine, and take a deep breath.  Nations rise and fall, presidents come and go, the earth trembles, seas rise, mountains break apart, but Jesus Christ -- King of kings and Lord of lords -- is the same yesterday, today, and forever. 

"Welcome to the Future," Brad Paisley sings at the White House.  On January 25, 2011, President Obama's State of the Union address theme was about "winning the future," not an original phrase, but one generic enough that no one can (or should) really lay claim to it.  He also spoke about our "Sputnik moment," and I saw somewhere that Sarah Palin commented on that later, that Sputnik had led to the decline of the Soviet Union.  She missed the point.  Badly.  President Obama was not talking about what Sputnik meant to the Soviet Union (our enemy) but what the Soviet Union's Sputnik meant to us, in the United States, and how we responded.  We did respond and prevailed.  I remember. 

There are those kinds of choices to be made, and then, there are others, of even more import...

Bluegrass Gospel Music - You've Got To Choose

From February 5, 2004, to March 20, 2004, when Judge Mathis' son and daughter-in-law were married, is forty-four days:

[GR] > The Number 44 - Birth and Blood

And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. And she again bare his brother Abel. Genesis 4 (vs. 1) And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's bloodcrieth unto me from the ground. Genesis 4 (vs. 10) The word translated as "bare" -  (Teled) - is an anagram of the name of the Fourth Letter  (Dalet). Genesis 4 is deeply integrated with this letter - it contains the first occurrence of the Dalet KeyWord Dawm (Blood) and of the great Spoke 4 theme, Birth. Even the literal meaning of Dalet (Door) first occurs in Genesis 4. Christians are familiar with the Aramaic form of the semitic root Dawm (Blood) through Acts 1.19: And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood. Aceldama is a transliteration from the Aramaic corresponding to the Hebrew words Cheleq (Field, S# H2506) and Dawm (Blood, (S# H1818). Note that Acts is Book 44. The Number 44 Birth/Child Yeled Father + Mother Av + Am Blood [Lev 17.11] Dawm and bare (gave birth) (Ord) [Gen 4.1] U'Teled In my heart B'Lavi One God [Mal 2.10] El Echad Praise (Ord) Tahilah The Lord Lives! YHVH Chai! Factors: 4 x 11 Related Numbers: 528 (The Key)

From February 5, 2004 to March 25, 2004, when David Mathis and his bride were killed is forty-nine days.  The number 49 is 7 x 7.  The number seven signifies the perfection of God's working His will through man.  That is what the Lord is preparing to do, why this ground work has been laid in such a way.  As prior indicated, Judge Mathis was simply one of hundreds upon hundreds of public officials in all three branches of government that we were copying on our correspondence in those days.  Very few every responded in any manner save silence, meaning they accepted our claims as true, and in failing to respond lawfully, they continue responding unlawfully, having made themselves part and parcel of the genocide against my parents and theirs, against me and mine, against We the People. 



You see, last evening Connie asked me to watch a streaming video from Revival.com, and this is how it went (my extra comments added now in blue italics):

Kimberly Blevins (1/28/2011 9:39:27 PM): beautiful
Kimberly Blevins (1/28/2011 9:40:54 PM): feel the power  Pastor Rodney was actually speaking very little.  Others were getting up and speaking about soul winning, giving testimonies, and praying for the fire and the anointing, and it was so powerful. My spirit bore witness to it.  
Kimberly Blevins (1/28/2011 9:42:05 PM): Carol Pikini spoke on the Holy Ghost and Fire  This was when she prophesied at Zack and Katie's church in April 2007
all4uyeshua (1/28/2011 9:42:53 PM): right

all4uyeshua (1/28/2011 9:45:34 PM): why?
all4uyeshua (1/28/2011 9:45:41 PM): or about what?
Kimberly Blevins (1/28/2011 9:45:49 PM): because I have listened to Paul Washer and this kind of "soul winning" and basically agree with what he teaches
Kimberly Blevins (1/28/2011 9:45:52 PM): BUT
Kimberly Blevins (1/28/2011 9:46:03 PM): also believe that it is not hard to be saved
Kimberly Blevins (1/28/2011 9:46:21 PM): when we simply take Jesus at His word
all4uyeshua (1/28/2011 9:46:47 PM): well, they seem to be verifying that
all4uyeshua (1/28/2011 9:47:20 PM): there are so many people being saved just by someone asking them if they know Jesus
all4uyeshua (1/28/2011 9:50:11 PM): Kenneth is Rodney's son
all4uyeshua (1/28/2011 9:52:09 PM): CTN is prepared to give them free coverage for all of 2011

Kimberly Blevins (1/28/2011 10:00:35 PM): that's amazing
Kimberly Blevins (1/28/2011 10:01:10 PM): we used to pay about sixteen dollars a minute for on-hair time  LOL, I meant on-air time, of course
Kimberly Blevins (1/28/2011 10:05:41 PM): what did he just say?
Kimberly Blevins (1/28/2011 10:05:53 PM): "i would consider it..." missed that  Rodney had a guest, Grand Chief of the Cree Nation Matthew Coon Come on, and was interviewing him about revival in the Cree Nation
all4uyeshua (1/28/2011 10:06:30 PM): me too
all4uyeshua (1/28/2011 10:08:11 PM): hallelujah
all4uyeshua (1/28/2011 10:15:01 PM): we need to be hearing this
Kimberly Blevins (1/28/2011 10:21:56 PM): missed some of that
Kimberly Blevins (1/28/2011 10:22:28 PM): had to tend to something urgent
all4uyeshua (1/28/2011 10:22:39 PM): are you ok?
Kimberly Blevins (1/28/2011 10:22:44 PM): yes
Kimberly Blevins (1/28/2011 10:22:51 PM): just flooding quite a bit
Kimberly Blevins (1/28/2011 10:23:07 PM): had another overflow  That's when it had soaked through the comforter as described above, and this morning, when I awakened to more flooding, I thought (somewhat wryly) about the penetrating power of blood! 
all4uyeshua (1/28/2011 10:23:16 PM): uh oh
Kimberly Blevins (1/28/2011 10:24:13 PM): governmental level?  Pastor Rodney was saying that what has happened in the Cree Nation can happen in this country's government as well, that we are ripe for a major revival in government, and this morning's leading confirms that word of the Lord
Kimberly Blevins (1/28/2011 10:24:19 PM): that's prophetically relevant
all4uyeshua (1/28/2011 10:24:25 PM): yes

By implication, revival is also set for other places, most notably, the United Kingdom (as the original Sen. John Kerry "not read" receipt was for an email to Prime Minister Tony Blair, an email I do not find in my electronic files at this time).  

From February 5, 2004, to January 31, 2005, when Judge Mathis retired, is three hundred sixty-one (361) days:

[GR] > The Number 361 - The Flesh

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold theLamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. John 1.29 The Number 19 is the Number of Flesh and Physical Manifestation. It is the basis of the Grace Manifest Holograph. It is the square root of the Number 361 = 19 x 19. The distribution of this word is significantly maximized in Revelation 19 of the Inner Wheel of Revelation. The fundamental force of the Nineteenth Letter Quph manifests in the course of World History in the Materialism of the Nineteenth Century. The Number 361 Flesh [Jn 1.14] Lamb [Jn 1.29] Mount Zion [Ps 48.3] Come up to me into the mount [Ex 24.12] In the land of the living [Ps 27.13] From the heart [Rom 6.17] By the hand of Moses [2Chr 34.1] Andrew [S# 406] Jambres [S# 2387] Factors: 19 x 19 Related Numbers: 2869 (The Body of Jesus)

The penetrating power of the Blood of Jesus Christ is powerful enough to wash away the deepest embedded sin, the darkest and deepest sin-stain.  Hallelujah!
