Isaiah 25:1-3 (King James Version)
1O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done
wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.2For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.3Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee.

BELOVED HUSBAND PHILLIP GREGORY JOHNSON, WE ARE STRONG PEOPLE, AND WE GLORIFY OUR LORD, OUR GOD, WE EXALT HIM, AND PRAISE HIS NAME, FOR HE HAS DONE WONDERFUL THINGS, HIS COUNSELS OF OLD ARE FAITHFULNESS AND TRUTH.
Within the past hour I was speaking with my father on the phone. He is feeling a bit better, more lucid, and he laughed and said, "Watch that veil!" He said that was in reference to the veil I was wearing (last Friday) when I took him to the doctor. That veil was blue, light and dark blue, patterned. I asked him what he meant, and he seemed unable to formulate his thoughts (a sign of these spiritual times, affecting others as well) except to say that he believed that would be an indelible image in the minds of the doctor and others there.
Yesterday, I went to my father's expecting to work with Nate and Josiah on preparing him to go to the hospital emergency room. Nate was steadying him in the chair where Josiah had seated him, and I was putting on his brand new socks and shoes. "We are going to do you up brown!" I said loudly so he could hear, but still had to repeat myself a time or two. Once he got it, he liked the phrase. He had been sick, running a fever, and was not thinking as coherently as he normally does (mind like a steel trap).
A little while later, he said, "Kim!" I answered. He said my name again, a time or two, as though searching for the right words to express his thoughts. "You really did it up brown!" he said. I knew he was not talking about his socks and shoes, so challenged him to explain. He could not come up with it. "You were Indian all the way!" he declared. The he clarified that he meant India Indian. He may or may not have overheard Josiah (in the kitchen) and I discussing a dream Josiah had had the night before about an Indian woman who told him she was single and could only have four children. I had asked her if she was Native American Indian or India Indian, and he indicated the latter.
My dad was referring to the "blue veil" doctor visit. It was his first visit there, the doctor wanted to know what the problem had been with the previous doctors (that had unlawfully abandoned my father) and jumped to an incorrect conclusion, which I immediately set him straight on, and followed it up by saying that if he was going to be hostile toward my father, we might as well get up and leave right then. I did not think my father had heard. At the time, he did not let on that he had.
To the glory of the Lord and no one else, the situation turned around immediately, the doctor looked a bit stunned, returned his attention to my father, treated him honorably, even affectionately, went out of his way and recruited staff to do the same in taking very good care of my father. At one point, my father said he was looking forward to a long and very good relationship.
On whatever praise my father later directed my way, I simply said I couldn't help myself, I just reacted, which was true. Slicing and dicing gives me no pleasure, but the Lord keeps me honed that way, and is putting an ever finer edge on me. That is part of the fulfillment of the following (and other related scriptures):
Hebrews 4:2 -- For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
2 Corinthians 3:3 -- Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
We become lethal weapons in the hand of the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world, an instrument for His excising what needs to come out, and this is why we must live in submission to His will constantly. Jesus is the only one with the authority to do what needs to be done.
My Dad made the "Indian all the way" comment at 8:02 AM, and then at 8:02 PM, I received a call from someone living at 5541 Smithfield Road. Not only does that have "Smith" and "field" in it (both highly relevant), but in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where I grew up, there is a Smithfield Street that was very well known to me, especially when I was going into the city (to go to art school, summer of 1970, and business school, 1973-74) on a daily basis. The 8:02 time correlates most recently with I Will Restore to You the Years that the Locust Hath Eaten, 5:16 PM PDT, 8:16 PM EDT, May 10, 2008, which includes:
Blessed father and grandfather of the children and grandchildren our Lord has given us, my husband Phillip Gregory Johnson, Laurel has been obsessing all day over a caterpillar she rescued from certain death at the hands (and jaws) of some ants that were encircling it. It seems in a serious way, much of our day has centered around Laurel's caterpillar, which we have not been able to identify yet (it is smooth, not hairy, and brown, patterned). I expected her to lose interest after a short time, but this has gone on since this morning (and is now 8:02 PM) and she is preparing a bed for the caterpillar and trying to find some leaves for it to eat.
The only verse in the Bible with the number (gematria) 5541 is (ref: The Bible Wheel):
Exodus 27:9 -- And thou shalt make the court of the tabernacle: for the south side southward there shall be hangings for the court of fine twined linen of an hundred cubits long for one side:
I have started to pay close attention to these out-of-the-blue statements by my father, and that one was at 12:12 PM, a time that correlates with twenty one blogs, including two very recent ones:
I Know that in Me (that is, in My Flesh) Dwelleth No Good Thing, 9:12 PM PDT, May 20, 2008, 12:12 PM EDT, May 21, 2008
At the time my father and I spoke, I was working on a (still in-progress) blog about that post, and particularly the Romans 7:15-19 scripture within.
Wither Shall I Go from Thy Spirit? 8:47 PM PDT, 11:47 PM EDT, May 17, 2008, which includes: BELOVED HUSBAND PHILLIP GREGORY JOHNSON, OUR LORD IS NOT ONLY REVEALING YOU TO ME AS YOU ARE, BUT AS YOU ARE IN COVENANT WITH ME. and in which the 12:12 correlation is to Godly Jealously, 12:12 PM PST, 3:12 PM EST, November 18, 2007, updated at 12:24 PM PST, 3:24 PM EST, November 18, 2007, which includes, I AM FEELING SUCH AN INTENSE PRESENCE OF MY BELOVED HUSBAND! ALL AROUND ME! LIKE FIERCELY PROTECTIVE, GODLY JEALOUSY, POSSESSING ME AS ON DECEMBER 3, 2006.
Some of the correlations relate to triple overlays that we have, otherwise, been led to very recently, but among the older blogs. My father said something else significant at 8:18 (which correlates with apparent surrogate victim Kimberly Langlois Wilson's birthday) and for that as well as other reason the blog that seems most relevant to me now, most within the prophetic flow of all else I am seeing, is the following:
Quickening (Coming Full Circle)
9:12 PM PST, December 20, 2007, updated at 10:20 PM PST, December 20, 2007
Phillip, this morning I was given the "king of glory" word regarding you at 5:43 AM, a time which correlates with my November 30, 2006 email to you "Quickening" (below). I just saw something relative a case that I analyzed in some depth, and my records for which I believe are lost to one of the many cyberattacks on my system.
Beloved, we are so much in the center of things still in this spiritual war. I realized that yesterday, when apparently moments after I posted something about the genocide-committing government, fire broke out on the White House campus about 9:30 (and the Holy Spirit even had something to say to me about that time that I have not written about yet). I used to see instantaneous correlations (some if not all surely responses) when I was looking at these things. I can see that we are being drawn into this as the Holy Spirit leads and makes clear that in God's sight evil is evil wherever it be found.
I am so thankful that you are doing what you are doing. We are coming full circle, and it feels good to be headed where we are headed.

After being up since 3 a.m., I was so tired this afternoon I decided to take a nap before work. Just before lying down, I was remembering what you said about talking to a hit man who had called you from his hotel room, and it hit me that there could have been a correlation between that and one or more of the apparent surrogate victim cases I have seen (I truly believe some have been carried out as professional hits). If there is not only a correlation but a connection, then his calling you was not likely to have been because he was sincerely looking for spiritual help, but was part and parcel of the terrorization of you, the satanic attack on your and my association, itself part of a spiritual battle.
The enormity of all that -- which I had not really allowed myself to think about for so long -- began to crash upon me again, and I started to crumble, weep uncontrollably, tremble... and that is pretty much the state I was in when I went to sleep, in the throes of anguish for so many innocent victims..., including children. Over all those years, God had allowed me to see a kind of seamless spiritual wickedness, and that realization in turn is what He used to bring me to your door, to you, and through you, to being filled with Himself. Is that what He is showing you now? There are deep correlations all through this, very deep. Just as He did not have to interpose me in your life as deliverer, He did not have to interpose you in my life as shepherd, soul winner, and more... yet He has done so in no uncertain terms in both cases.
I awakened from my nap about an hour ago with a quickening sensation -- not like feeling the Holy Ghost quickening, but like feeling life, such as happens normally around four or five months into pregnancy. The timeframe correlation is significant, relating to last July when you and I first started meeting. It makes sense as this completes the birth-related physical sensations (can't think of any left to feel), part of God's truths that He is writing in me, and is a picture of life after death, such as God loves, as this is who He is and what He does. In terms of all the death I have seen and that has affected me so deeply, including on an emotional level, it makes sense that God would want to manifest Himself literally, physically, and not just symbolically, to show He is God by bringing life in one of the most unlikely places, through a couple of the most unlikely vessels, on the one hand, but on the other hand, two of the most likely, most well suited not only to each other but to God's purpose. And in the economy of His design, it makes sense He would be preparing to bring great emotional healing, hope and revival along with the fulfilments of His revelations and promises. All of it fits who God is and what He does.
Blessed be the Name of the Lord!
This morning after emailing you, I wrote a new song. I may add more, but here is where it stands now:
Your Word Upon My Heart
words and music by Kimberly A. Blevins, 2006
C Am
Lord, you have engraved
F G
Your word upon my heart
C Am
Your truth is written now in me
F G
From it I shall never depart
C Am
For your word is a part of me now
F G
It's who I am, it's what I do
C Am
And your truth is a part of me now
F G
You in me, and me in you
The song is not really meant for public performance, although I guess it could be developed into that. It is more for private, intimate worship of my Lord and Savior, my Strength and My Redeemer... God of Creation, Creator of Life... ______________________________
Beloved, God is bringing this ship into the harbor, so to speak, and there is a lot of spiritual disquiet going on (or threatening to), including possibly within us. It is part of the process, and another of the 8:02 (doubly correlated) correlations is:
God's... putting everything into its right place at the right time, 12:21 PM PDT, 3:21 PM EDT, September 29, 2007, updated at 12:22 PM PDT, 3:22 PM EDT, September 29, 2007, which includes a portion of the following IM (included in more context and unedited here):

Kimberly Blevins (8/11/2007 8:02:59 AM): the overriding themes (which I recallbetter than the actual substance and details of the dream) were: friendship, love, God's divine ordering of matters, putting everything into its right place in its right time.

Kimberly Blevins (8/11/2007 8:06:07 AM): He is ordering my days, my steps, and I see it
Kimberly Blevins (8/11/2007 8:07:09 AM): I have also been filled with such a union with Him and with Phillip in Him. Really feel the supernatural, spiritual provision of Christ, His all-sufficiency
Kimberly Blevins (8/11/2007 8:07:45 AM): and am having a constant stream of deepening understanding about what He has revealed to me, what He is doing in my life
Kimberly Blevins (8/11/2007 8:08:18 AM): and it is so wonderful, so glorious, so humbling...

all4uyeshua (8/11/2007 8:13:09 AM): good
Some time ago, I started reading a book called The Supernatural Ways of Royalty, by Kris Vallotton and Bill Johnson and am only about a third of the way through it. This morning I looked back over some chapters I have read before, looking for what the author was saying about a juxtaposition of scriptures about God sharing His glory with no one, but God does share His glory with His own, and I wanted to make sure I got it right (I was thinking of how Gavin said the platform "lit up" when you got up to preach on March 30, 2008).
I did not find that, but instead, in the chapter entitled "Lizards in the Palace," found that the authors are writing about Romans 7 [which of course includes the Romans 7:15-19 passage we were led to recently -- I Know that in Me (that is, in My Flesh) Dwelleth No Good Thing]. They include, "Many people have misunderstood the seventh chapter of Romans. In this chapter Paul talks about his struggle with trying to do good and still doing the wrong thing. If we read these verses in light of the preceding and succeeding Scriptures, we find that it is impossible for Paul to have been speaking about his redeemed life. The entire Book of Romans is a letter of contrast between the life lived under the Law and the life that is in Christ."
That was my initial impression on re-reading the Romans passage the other night when led to it. In the meantime, I read something else yesterday that met me like a gut punch, and subsequent to that was led back to the aforesaid, pointing back to Romans 7, and I know the Holy Spirit is leading me into a deeper truth, and I know that it relates to the chief area the enemy continues to attack us:
WE ARE TO EACH OTHER WHAT GOD SAYS WE ARE TO EACH OTHER!
And what He has said we are to each other is One, that we are One. That is what is under attack, including from some very unexpected, and I feel sure well-meaning sources. Beware, beloved. The Lord seems to be leading us into some places where few others have been prepared to go. Remember, together we are a living praise unto God, and the enemy does not want God to be praised.
I wish I had time to write more now, but do not. I have to sign on to work in six minutes.
