Filled from the valley

Look closely to see clouds on the ground, that proceeded up the valley to cover the land.


Psa 19:1  … The heavens are declaring the glory of God, and their expanse shows the work of His hands. 
Psa 19:2  Day after day they pour forth speech, night after night they reveal knowledge. 
Psa 19:4  … their message goes out into all the world, and their words to the ends of the earth.
 
Light through the darkness, Christmas greetings to you from the otherworldly Sangre de Cristo Mountains, where the Blood of Christ speaks a better Word for you and me!

All things exist in and serve Him!

– all untouched photos –



This morning His creation in-formed me that even from the valleys in our lives, we can be filled with His Presence & goodness, enveloped in His glory.

Deep calling to deep, got any rumblings ‘beneath,’ maybe seemingly distant?  It would be easy to pay it no mind. 

At about 3 a.m. this morning I was so startled when out of the night, shouts,
“P-R-A-I-S-E in the Congregation!  Praise the Lord among the Throne!”  My eyebrows popped upward while I silently (not wanting to wake Susan) exclaimed, “Amen!”  I thought, “Wow, that won’t be hard to remember in the morning,” as sadly, many glimmers of the eternal by us all are left in the realm of faint, beneath the surface and never invited to come out and be seen.

Hours later, my darling stood next to me in the kitchen unaware of my 3 a.m. revelation as we began our morning routine, she was singing the lyrics of that specific Psalm!

We cloud-dwellers were hearing the exact same Psalm in the Spirit, praise be to Him in whom we all have our being.  Specifically, He strummed our hearts with four verses out of the greater than 31,000 verses in the Holy Word of God (precisely, 3:07 – 5:00 in this 6+ minute Song), these verses:

“…The procession of God has come into view
Into view, into view
The procession of the King is coming into
The sanctuary, come and see

And before Him, the singers, they sing
And before Him, the players, how they play
Praise in the congregation
Praise the Lord among the throne
See the least of all is leading them, even princes too.”
(Sons of Korah, Psalm 68c, vs 24-27)

Got any “little” places?  Any low, not-excited-about places?  Hmm, I deliver to you that which was first delivered to us!

There are Seasons when He comes rapidly from those very places to fill and to coat and to satiate our lives with Himself, to quiet us in His all-encompassing love.  So much so you can see nothing else!

You thirsty for that?!

Join us in faith, won’t you?  We’re inviting God into our lives and yours anew, looking at His creation for instruction and joining His orchestra, we speak these things into being for you and ourselves – may His glory be great! – through faith in the Name of Jesus Christ, earnestly crying out for us all to witness together, that even from your valleys and ours, “The Fountain of Israel” (Psa 68:26, ISV) may be praised anew far and wide!!

When it happens, remember the Lord and honor the Spirit from which speak, won’t you?

Filled from the valley, a meditation

Same view as photo above, before & after The Cloud enveloped the land. “Then a billowing cloud filled The Temple of GOD. The priests couldn’t even carry out their duties because of the cloud—the glory of GOD!—that filled The Temple of God.” 2 Chron. 5:13-14

Strummed for you, unto His pleasure,
Robert & Susan Totman

Job 1:21  … The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.

Isa 45:7  “I form light and create darkness, I make goodness and create disaster. I am the LORD, who does all these things.”

Dan 4:35  All who live on the earth are nothing compared to Him. He does what He wishes with the heavenly armies and with those who live on earth. No one can hold back His power or say to Him, ‘What did You do?’

Dan 2:21  It is God who alters the times and seasons, He removes and promotes kings …

Psa 119:91  To this day … all things serve You. 

.

I remember walking down the hallway from the Control Room at the New York Air Route Traffic Control Center (ZNY) on 9/11, going to the cafeteria for a break after working an intense session of first ever combat air traffic control in the skies over New York. “America is at war,” rang with absolute clarity throughout my soul.   (Had coffee, returned to combat. One of very few selected to stay for overtime that day. Nightmares ensued, the violence of the perished souls dragging me to hell.  Jesus saves.)

The day before Charlie Kirk’s assassination, I began hearing war drums in the spirit realm, my ears opened through the Living God, Jesus Christ.  This grace arrested my attention, maybe like Moses at the burning bush.  I waited upon the Lord, listening, and the beat grew louder and more clear until I recognized what the Spirit was bringing to my remembrance:  Psalm 94, as sung by Sons of Korah.

During the morning yesterday, I began listening to the Psalm/Song repeatedly.  Later, when our brother was martyred, I prayed it all the more earnestly and hereby commend it to you in the Name of the Lord.  I don’t hear anything in this Living Word from God about praying for the “poor sinners,” curious. 

If you have a war cry (i.e., Psalm 94), I strongly suggest you begin plugging your whole soul into it (post script, the next day Erika Kirk says her heartfelt battle cry will be heard around the world).  It was more than two years ago when I heard my Sheperd’s Voice, “You must see yourself winning!”  With strong emphasis on must.  I agreed … and began seeking Him, “What, exactly, does winning look like?”

Can you believe He began with war?!  How might a child of God “win” without enduring a contest and overcoming?  He offered Psalm 144 in reply to my question.

Psa 144:1  Of David. Blessed be the LORD, my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle.

To His credit, I have cried out (in every kinda way, lol) the entire Psalm to Him every day since, minus the handful of days my wearied soul could not abide.  The Psalm calls on God for victory against legitimate foes and then details what winning looks like, according to my Great Shepherd’s counsel.  

War.

Then, on 9/11, and now – evidenced yesterday, may Martyr Kirk’s fruitfulness be multiplied by Him who sows and reaps all that He pleases. Post script, Ben Carson proclaims the “fruitfulness be multiplied” hyperlink verse (previous sentence) pertains to Charlie Kirk, even citing the time he was shot (12:24).

Let all God’s people gear up for and get used to war.  He has promised us victory on the other side (Peace after War says the Lord). 

War intensified on 9/11, when “out of the blue” (represents righteousness), terror struck.

War intensified in 2016, with greatly heightened attacks upon those who testify to and live within the reality of Jesus – King of kings and Lord of lords.

War began flooding out of the heavenlies in January 2020, He opened my eyes to see a horse running in full stride in the earth.  With hindsight, it’s not a stretch to say the heavenly horse was running swiftly into earthly war.

I perceived glimmers of light, grace from God, during the 2022 midterm elections in America … and then saw the darkness of election fraud mock and smother them.

In September 2024, despite witnessing a living President Trump (yes, pre-election) in the Spirit of Truth, I reported to all that “America’s season of opulence and decadence is over.”

Let yesterday’s horror help in-form you that there is more war to come.  Cry out for God to lead justice to victory, He promised He would do it without growing faint or discouraged.  And when you cry out for justice, do it believing He hears you and IS answering!  Cry out knowing.  Armor yourself up per God’s instruction in Ephesians chapter 6, where the Bible couldn’t be more plain in detailing that – like it or not, want it or not – you are caught up in and living within a war right now.

From Jesus, I share with you, please take comfort living in the light of Psalm 94 today.  This morning, He also commends Psalm 2, where we see God laugh at and rebuke those who refuse to be reasonable, terrifying them.

Once you’ve given your life to Jesus, consider that your time on earth will include hard service (to Him), perhaps like today.  Your endurance is pleasing to God, even as He reforms you through it, one of the beauties He brings out of the horrid gore of our humanity.  Scripture teaches that your endurance is taking you places and that He does not grind forever, that in His great wisdom He orchestrates magnificence (even from our often messy and/or lacking sacrifices of love and faithfulness to Him).  He is to be praised.

John 8:12  Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

His Voice Thunders!

2025 Warning

Psalm 105:1  Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name, and make his deeds known among the people. 
Psalm 105:2  Sing to him! Praise him! Declare all his awesome deeds! 

For about 10 days leading up to the U.S. Presidential Inauguration, there were two very clear and prevalent themes which surfaced in God’s Word through my seeking Him daily:

1)  “This is My Word, destroying all opposition to Itself without fail and accomplishing all I have spoken.”
2)  “Warn them!”

From our Christmas Day, 2024, publication, “… the President-Elect will prove to be like a winter coat that saves America … from a cold and dark and bitter economic scenario…”   (read whole pub)

On Inauguration Day & the President’s first week in office for his second term:  “Once in a Generation Winter Storm – A once-in-a-generation winter storm is currently sweeping through the United States … This rare winter storm is unfolding amid bitterly cold temperatures … to cities that are not accustomed to harsh, cold weather. The National Weather Service has issued a blizzard warning for parts of southern Louisiana and far eastern Texas, which is the first-ever blizzard warning for any part of the Gulf Coast … This storm is part of a larger weather pattern affecting over 220 million people in the US, with bitterly cold air enveloping much of the country.”

Mark 16:20, “… the Lord kept working with them and confirming the Word with signs following.  Amen.”

Not a stretch:  A merciful God provides a billionaire businessman (who isn’t taking a POTUS paycheck, btw) to manage the coming economic crisis in America.

Isa 55:6  “Seek the LORD while he may be found, call upon him while he is near.
Isa 55:7  Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous person his thoughts. Let him return to the LORD, So he’ll have mercy upon him, and to our God, for he’ll pardon abundantly. 
Isa 55:8  For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. 

Job 37:2  Listen to God’s thundering voice! Listen to the sound coming from his mouth. 
Job 37:5  God’s thundering voice is amazing! He does great things that we cannot understand. 

On Another Note, update from Nairobi

Two of the orphaned girls, rescued and then raised in Christian faith at our orphanage in Kenya have now graduated college, trained as teachers, praise Jesus!  Thank you for partnering with us in the Lord to change SO MANY lives for the better.

Rejoice!

/ RSTvictory / 1 Comment

Merry Christmas, 2024 ! 

Rejoice!

Mat. 1:20  … an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 
Mat. 1:21  She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”

He came to die in my/your place for the penalty of the guilt of my/your sins, so that our names could be written in heaven!

Luke 10:19  Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you. 
Luke 10:20  Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”  (italics mine)

Luke 10:19, 
“authority,” G1849, is “ex-oo-see’-ah” in the Bible’s original language and helps us arrive at English words like, “Exorcism.”  It means “mastery [over].”
“power,” G1411, is “doo’-nam-is” in the original language and it means “supernatural power.”    (Strong’s Concordance)

There is an enemy of mankind in the earth with supernatural power!  When we are submitted (surrendered) to Jesus, His mastery [given us] over the enemy is seen.  Jesus is the Prince of Peace, so it does not conflate the truth to say peace on earth is His victory.  His Word says He desires all people to live quiet, peaceful lives in holiness and teaches that this facilitates the spreading of the Gospel, the expansion of Christ’s Kingdom.

And yet, we so often see that it is disaster, not bliss, that causes people to turn to the Lord (says the 9/11 air traffic controller who came to Jesus because of that fateful day).

On 12/12/2024, my journal records that I woke before sunrise and greeted Jesus, asking to hear His Voice.  The next thing I know, I’m seeing a map of the state of California with its coastline in red alert status.  10 days later, headlines and articles manifest the same, “50 foot waves pound entire California coast, prompting many rescues.”  And, “Parade of West Coast storms bring life-threatening surf to Pacific Coast.”  This article included a map with California’s coast in life-threatening warning status … and when I read/saw it, I certainly acknowledged God as the Source of my insight.  (been praying for human safety)

I believe that fresh sequence of events was meant to encourage me to speak up now, as virtually the same type of thing happened on Christmas Eve morning when I woke.  This time, the answer I saw in response to my earnest plea to hear my Savior’s Voice was “World War 3 is happening.”

Reminds me of a sermon I delivered in September of this year that relayed God’s Voice, “America’s season of opulence and decadence is over.”

So your presidential candidate won?  If you are counting on him to provide you a Golden Age of peace and prosperity, your hope and discernment are misplaced.  I believe the President-Elect will prove to be like a winter coat that saves America from its enemies, even from a cold and dark and bitter economic scenario, IF God’s children will humble themselves in repentance from their sins.

I mean, at this point, that’s a best case scenario.

Through the coming seasons, remind yourself that your name is written in heaven and rejoice.  Submit to God and be at peace with Him.  By delighting in God’s Word, you align yourself with Him and are much more apt ending up in what He has promised:  A secure home, undisturbed rest & a peaceful dwelling. 

He has had me issue warning like this before:

Jer. 22:2  … ‘Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, who sits on the throne of David, you, and your servants, and your people who enter these gates. 
Jer. 22:3  Thus says the LORD: Do justice and righteousness, and deliver from the hand of the oppressor him who has been robbed. And do no wrong or violence to the resident alien, the fatherless, and the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place. 
Jer. 22:4  For if you will indeed obey this word, then there shall enter the gates of this house kings who sit on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their servants and their people. 
Jer. 22:5  But if you will not obey these words, I swear by myself, declares the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation. 
Jer. 22:6  For thus says the LORD concerning the house of the king of Judah: “‘You are like Gilead to me, like the summit of Lebanon, yet surely I will make you a desert, an uninhabited city. 
Jer. 22:7  I will prepare destroyers against you, each with his weapons, and they shall cut down your choicest cedars and cast them into the fire…” (Biblically, cedars can represent ‘royal’ leaders)

Prophecy and a doctrine of demons.


Thank you for adding your faith, hope & love to this and all our Gospel endeavors.  May God richly bless you and keep you, in Jesus’ Name.
