The beauty of my woman is found not in the fit of her clothes, nor the application of her cosmetics.
It matters not how plaited her hair or the fall of it upon her shoulders
Neither does the color of her hair matter, nor the smoothness of her beautiful skin.
All these fail to show the real beauty of who she has become to me. Continue reading

From The Heart, God is Great!, Hearing God's Voice, Love, Meaning of Life, Steven R. Harrel for This Side of the Whirlwind
Hey Whirlwind Fans, this is simply a prayer I offered on February 26th 2019 because I was feeling moved by the Holy Spirit as a sense of His love flowed through my spirit.
How much more blessed can a people be than to actually feel the loving presence of their God!
So here’s the prayer:
Stars fill the heavens and streak across the night’s sky.
Brilliant and glorious light bathes our world every day in life warming beauty.
Then there’s that first cry of a newborn child
The first tears from a beloved
Laughter at a distance – listening to such delight in those we love.

From The Heart, Hearing God's Voice, Love, Prophecy, Steven R. Harrel for This Side of the Whirlwind
Thus says the Lord, “One year from now you will have a son and he will be a man of God.”
These words were spoken – by a stranger – to my mother – 12 months before I was 
born. I don’t know if I was born on the exact same day 12 months later but I wouldn’t be surprised.
Though not by choice at first I have lived a life filled with prophecies and interactions with God. Today, I would not have it any other way!
Some prophecies over the course of my life were given to me (for me) by others with prophetic giftings – some of those prophecies came to pass and some not so much.
So what is a legitimate prophecy? Continue reading

Scripture supports itself!
Who can accurately learn and understand the message found in God’s Word?
Well, according to Isaiah 28:9–13 and Hebrews 5:12-14, God teaches and enlightens those who mature in the pursuit of His Word and His Will:
For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed into the image of his Son… (Romans 8:29 NIV)
So who will HE teach? Continue reading

Ever endure and never give up!
Decades passed entrenched in great, deep abiding hope
In joy of life we danced and sang and loved and drank in life’s inordinate soul
Valiantly I fought to keep the love of life alive
Alas alone my partner drank my strength till hope did die
Yet on I plod, in endless hope to find again that spring
But I had not a partner true to save me when I screamed:
Help, save me, catch me quick for in the mire I sink
For hope long lost can drag one down beneath the hopeful spring.
For abides the endless depth of never ending hope
From fools who plod alone until hope has drowned their soul.
Then from said soul the spring of hope is fed so others stride
Until they feed eternal hope until they too do stride.

Oh folly of man, oh arrogance of my kindred, whilst thou would not humblest thyself in the knowledge of thy God and recognize His greatness amidst the bottomless quality of thy immeasurable comparative insignificance, others accomplish His will whilst thy bosom remains empty.

How about another question?
Did you know — that as a Christian you are saved by the blood of the Lamb? There is NO OTHER name under heaven by which you MUST be saved.
This is a True statement!!!
The majority of Christians would answer this question in the affirmative.
And it is true; we are saved by the blood of the Lamb; Continue reading
