It is time!
Saints the Lord wants to encourage you, that this is the year of timing! In Ecclesiastes 3, we see that there is a "time" for everything. Moreover, that eternity is planted in our hearts, and that God makes everything beautiful in its time.
"He has made everything beautiful in its time. He also has planted eternity in men’s hearts and minds [a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working through the ages which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy], yet so that men cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end." ECCLESIASTES 3:11 AMPC
The Hebrew root word from which the word beautiful comes means BRIGHT. Bright means to reflect light. We see this in John 1:4-5 and 1 Peter 1:6-7. In Jesus was Life and that LIFE is the LIGHT OF MEN! As we go through trials and tribulations, where our faith is refined like gold, we reflect Jesus Christ in us the hope of glory.
THIS IS ASTOUNDING!
Astound means GREATLY SURPRISE, and comes from the English word ASTONE, meaning stunned!
When I saw the Old English word from which astound comes, "astone," I couldn't help but think of a precious diamond that reflects Christ Jesus! We're the reflection of Christ Jesus, which is revealed in the testing of our faith, When all else seems to be failing around us, we have to hold on, to realize WE ARE MERELY A PRECIOUS STONE, A JEWEL, IN THE CROWN OF GOD!
"And the Lord their God will save them on that day as the flock of His people, for they shall be as the [precious] jewels of a crown, lifted high over and shining glitteringly upon His land." ZECHARIAH 9:16 AMPC
All a diamond is coal that has endured pressure in TIME! AND ONCE THE TIME HAS COME, THE COAL IS THEN A DIAMOND!
The word "time" in Hebrew means DUE SEASON, and comes from the root word meaning ETERNITY! IN DUE SEASON WE WILL SEE ETERNITY'S PLANS, AND HEAVEN'S PLANS, AND SEIZE THEM WITH FAITH! (Matthew 12:11-13)
The two Hebrew letters that compose time are Ayin and Tav. Ayin is the ancient symbol of an eye and means to "see, know, and experience." Tav is the ancient symbol of a cross or "x" and means "sign, seal, mark, and covenant. Therefore, those who wait TO SEE, KNOW, AND EXPERIENCE THE COVENANT OF GOD'S WORD, WILL MANIFEST IT IN THEIR LIVES!
Saints, I truly feel that God is exposing all remaining trauma in our members this year, as we enter the TIME, the DAWNING OF A NEW DAY, AS IN ESTHER 8!
"The Jews had light [a dawn of new hope] and gladness and joy and honor." ESTHER 8:16 AMPC
This Light is the Hope of God within us of Christ Jesus, which reflect in OUR NEW TIME!
Like the Shulamite in Song of Solomon 6, we will be the moon, reflecting the SON (SUN)!
" [The ladies asked] Who is this that looks forth like the dawn, fair as the moon, clear and pure as the sun, and terrible as a bannered host?" SONG OF SOLOMON 6:10
Many will come to the brightness of your rising, as the Lord's Glory rises upon you, and He brings many to that brightness! (Isaiah 60:1-3)
Be hopeful and expectant! This is a TURNKEY YEAR! EVERYTHING HAS BEEN PREPARED FOR US TO ENTER INTO IT!

The domino effect!
Saints of God, the goodness of God is ever towards you, giving you hope and courage to do that which He has for you each day. God crowns us with tender mercies every day, and those mercies are the supply of strength and ability to do not only large tasks but small tasks, as well.
Every little thing we do has a domino effect on the lives of others, whether we realize it or not. A kind word, a not-so-kind word, a good thought of someone, a not-so-good thought. They all have effects on our lives and those of others.
God reveals in 1 Corinthians 13:7 that love believes the best. Love believes the best about others, although at times our flesh wants to see the negative. We have to understand that every soul is working out its salvation in Christ Jesus, as our brothers and sisters in Christ, enter into the fullness of what Jesus Christ has done.
As I've been studying this Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, it opened my eyes to myself, as well as others, in relation to each person's perspective.
God has revealed to me that the effects of sin are the impression of trauma, which I discuss heavily in my new book, "The Forbidden Fruit the Spiritual Disease." The acronym God gave me for TRAUMAS, is Terror, Rejection, Abandonment, and Unloved Massively Announcing Shame.
God knows our fragility, which is why Jesus tells us to forgive one another and to walk in love, loving others as we love ourselves. Trauma makes it difficult to love self, so there has to be healing. The effects of trauma cause us to be our own worst enemy, as we become hypervigilant, paranoid, and defensive, offended at every little thing.
We have to be mindful of when we're walking in the effects of sin with the impression of trauma on the soul, in order to be healed of sin's effects. The power of the Word of Truth can heal us from all spiritual dis-ease, which sin, and it's effects of trauma, are removed completely.
God bless!

10 Humble yourselves [feeling very insignificant] in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you [He will lift you up and make your lives significant].
11 [My] brethren, do not speak evil about or accuse one another. He that maligns a brother or judges his brother is maligning and criticizing the Law and judging the Law. But if you judge the Law, you are not a practicer of the Law but a censor and judge [of it].
12 One only is the Lawgiver and Judge Who is able to save and to destroy [the One Who has the absolute power of life and death]. [But you] who are you that [you presume to] pass judgment on your neighbor? JAMES 4:10-12 AMPC
Make room
God is able, saints, to do that which is far above what we can think or imagine! Know that He is working all things to your good, as you enter the place of plenty!
And I have come down to deliver them out of the hand and power of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a land good and large, a land flowing with milk and honey [a land of PLENTY]—to the place of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite. Exodus 3:8 AMPC
The word "large" here in Hebrew means a place where there is plenty of room to grow.
I cannot help but think of Jabez's prayer where he cried out to God to increase his territory and to bless him indeed.
Jabez cried to the God of Israel, saying, Oh, that You would bless me and enlarge my border, and that Your hand might be with me, and You would keep me from evil so it might not hurt me! And God granted his request. 1 Chronicles 4:10 AMPC
This same cry is prophesied in Isaiah, where the Lord would stir up the children of His people to cry out to enter a larger place!
Lift up your eyes round about and see [the returning exiles, ready to rebuild Jerusalem]; all these gather together and come to you. As I live, says the Lord, you [Zion] shall surely clothe yourself with them all as with an ornament and bind them on you as a bride does. For your waste and desolate places and your land [once the scene] of destruction surely now [in coming years] will be too narrow to accommodate the population, and those who once swallowed you up will be far away. The children of your bereavement [born during your captivity] shall yet say in your ears, The place is too narrow for me; make room for me, that I may live. Isaiah 49:18-20 AMPC
Saints, this is a deep cry, of deep crying unto deep, and it is here where you see the breaking forth of God's waterspouts, the breakthrough of His promise! (Psalm 42:7) The place of the deep cry within the soul, whose overwhelmed in their circumstances, about to see victory as never before!
The Lord has me writing about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in my new book "The Forbidden Fruit, the Spiritual Disease," where He unfolds scripture about the incurable wound, which is PTSD. Many of us deal with some event(s) that have left an imprint of trauma on the soul. Although it seems like the healing is far away, it is closer than you think.
God allows you to see the confined prison of the thoughts which have restrained you, so that you CRY OUT, like Jabez, whose name means sorrowful! Like the children of Israel who are in bondage!
The Lord gave me a saying in the book, "You cannot see the field because of the fire." Trauma within the soul is like being in a building that is constantly on fire. However, once the event is passed, the soul still believes it's in the building on fire, and you cannot see the field of flowers that God's brought you into, which signifies His rest of Hebrews 4 and the place of promise.
Saints, consider in your present trial to refuse to believe you're in a building on fire, and allow God to shift your perspective to the fact that you're in a field of flowers, and SEE THE BLESSING! HERE IS THE PLACE OF HAVING PLENTY OF ROOM TO GROW!
Some of you are presently in a trial, where God is getting you out of a place that has restrained you, so you can be in the place of plenty and grow! (Selah)

Saints of God, the power of God's Holy Spirit, giving you the Love of Christ, opens your understanding that other people are enduring hardships, to which you can speak life abundantly.
As I lay awake in bed the other day and had questions in my heart, not asking God, but being rhetorical to my own soul, I was unexpectedly surprised when God interrupted and answered me.
I couldn't help but think of the different things I've endured through life, and at times felt as though I was hanging on by a thread, barely able to function. I remember being told to get myself together in the late 1990s as a single mother, and I told the people I could barely make a peanut butter sandwich, much less get my life together. Only God could do it.
Grateful at the fact that God has gotten me through so much, I couldn't help but wonder why I have gone through so much and not had a "normal life."
God spoke to me and said that all of those things I endured in life, having overcome by the power of His Word and Holy Spirit, was to help others.
I'm reminded of Jesus speaking to Peter about the fact that satan was given permission to sift all of him like grain, but that He had already prayed for Peter, that when he returned he would strengthen the brethren. (See Luke 22:31-33)
How Peter must have felt being sifted, we can never know. However, I can only imagine that the person to which satan compared him, was Judas, tormenting Peter's mind that he might have been the son of perdition. That thought alone is terrifying, and I know that God's grace was sufficient. (See 2 Corinthians 12:9)
Jeremiah had to feel like this in Jeremiah 12, where the Lord encouraged him, that if he couldn’t run with footmen, how could the prophet run with horses? The horses represent the hard and difficult times we endure, through the strength of the Lord. The Amplified Classic translation compares it to a jungle maze, which the prophet would be led by God to get through.
Sometimes life can be a maze, but we have to help each other, by giving a word of encouragement, which will be prophecy, lifting and edifying the soul.
[But the Lord rebukes Jeremiah’s impatience, saying] If you have raced with men on foot and they have tired you out, then how can you compete with horses? And if [you take to flight] in a land of peace where you feel secure, then what will you do [when you tread the tangled maze of jungle haunted by lions] in the swelling and flooding of the Jordan? Jeremiah 12:5 AMPC
Saints, your life means so much to those whom you have no clue, as your continued pressing through each day to hang on one more day, hoping against hope, is a testimony of your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, which is a drink offering to the souls of mankind.
Never think your life doesn't matter; it does! Know that you are fearfully and wonderfully made, that God has thoughts to give you hope and a future, and not to harm you. As you seek Him with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength, you will find Him, and be revived in the Eternal Life of Christ Jesus!
God bless!

Debt. devalue = emotionally bathing in trauma
Saints of God, the Lord wants to encourage you to hope against hope! The power of God's love and grace is more than sufficient, giving you strength and the ability to withstand the attacks of the enemy, as you lean into His love and promises.
The power of God's intention within your very being, moves upon your circumstances on this earth, revealing your faith, as Christ Jesus, Eternal Life, is revealed within your heart and mind, upon your countenance, where you're fasting, GLORY TO GOD, is the release of Heaven's prayer given to you from the Father, where His hope and future for you come about!
GLORY TO GOD!
The power source of faith is the Love of God. The biggest hindrance to your prayers being heard and answered is unforgiveness and doubt. One reason unforgiveness and doubt play out within the soul is because of past traumas that haven't been dealt with.
God gave me an acronym for debt, where we forgive people their debts, as He forgives us our debts. When you feel Devalued, you Emotionally Bathe in Trauma.
Devalue= Emotionally Bathing in Trauma
God has me go into detail about this in my new book, The Forbidden Fruit the Spiritual Disease, addressing Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Areas that haven't been dealt with, in which we have past traumas, require deeper healing. Those areas can cause us to harbor anger and unforgiveness toward others.
One thing that happens with those with PTSD is that they are hypervigilant and paranoid. I can attest to this, having been traumatized in a 9-month relationship and at a church I attended. The past events caused me to be hypervigilant, preparing to protect myself from perceived threats, which weren't real.
I am mindful of these times in which I get triggered, when circumstances in my present, appear to match my past. The only way to be free of the past is to walk in the love of God, which keeps us free of debt spiritually! We walk in continual forgiveness.
Moreover, when I find myself triggered by particular circumstances, I realize it is easier to be impulsive in my behavior, and have to try and stop and breathe for a moment, realizing it is merely the past trauma speaking to my soul. In those moments I forgive myself for any impulsivities and then receive the Father's grace and mercy, to be authentically the beautiful person that He's called me to be!
Saints of God, what area in your soul do you feel spiritually in debt? Where do you need to let go, and Let God?
God bless!

And forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us [who has offended us or done us wrong]. And bring us not into temptation but rescue us from evil. Luke 11:4 AMPC

Love, Live and Learn
2023 Love, Live and Learn
I pray that 2023 is a year in which you love more, live life to its fullness, and learn to love and live. The things that we take with us from 2022, are memories in which we’ve grown the most throughout the year, having shared our lives in the service of the Lord in relationship to others.
In my new book, God has me focusing on Eternal Life and the power of that Life, Who is Jesus, that is given to us upon salvation. This precious Eternal Life that we carry is more than we can ever imagine. It is God's presence, giving us good and perfect gifts continually. We are anointed by Grace to receive an unceasing supply of anointing through Jesus Christ.
We’re feeding one of two fires at any moment. The first fire, for Christians, is that of Eternal Life, the Life of Christ Jesus, which is stronger than hell and death! It brings us continual refreshing and we remain in revival! True revival is the Eternal Life burning within the soul of a son or daughter of God, as we worship Him in spirit and in truth. We are the revealing of the Kingdom of Heaven that’s planted within our hearts. (See Song of Solomon 8:6-7; John 1:1-5; 1 John 1:1-2; Luke 17:20-21)
The other flame is that of the carnal nature, which is the wisdom from below. (See James 3:3-16) When we think poorly or negatively about others or ourselves, we’re feeding the carnal flame, the fire of Gehenna (hell).
We grow when we love, live, and learn. This is true discipleship in Christ Jesus. We’re learning to love and learning to live.
As Rich and I got takeout today from Yummy Bowl, the saying given to me before I left was, “Learn something new today. Share it with someone.”
What’s so amazing is I started a video series of LLL, Love, Live, and Learn two weeks ago. It was more confirmation of what God has me teaching and told me that 2023 would be, on one of my videos this past week. He said that 2023 is a year to Love, Live, and Learn!
Saints, when we learn to love and live, we share it with others!
I pray that you have a most blessed New Year and Learn to Love and Live!
God bless you!

Insecurity breeds contempt
Insecurity can breed contempt. Contempt is "the feeling that a person or thing is beneath consideration, to disregard."
Insecurities are the quickest avenue to disrespect others. In this place, people one-up those whom they have contempt for, unconscious the issue is their soul. This was the dream God gave me two nights ago.
Insecure means "not firmly fixed, not confident or assured." This comes from the Medieval Latin word, in meaning "not," and the Latin word meaning, "free from care." Thus, the insecure person is not free from the cares of this life, especially of others' opinions of them, or what they believe is the opinion of other people, even if it's their own projection of self.
Contempt comes from two Latin words con meaning, "with" and temnere meaning "despise." The word despise in Hebrew is buwz and means contempt and despise. The Hebrew Aleph Bet Letters that compose despise are Bet, Vav and Zayin, which form the word picture THE HOUSE THAT'S ADDED A WEAPON THAT CUTS OFF.
An insecure person feels cut off from God and others. They reject themselves, unaware that it is their own soul condemning them. These insecurities result from past traumas in one's life which cause them to misinterpret others and project their own rejection onto them. They are paranoid, constantly feeling the need to prove themselves, and desire others' approval.
From this state of the body, the person isn't consecrated. They're in the tongue of Gehenna which continually speaks to them, thereby speaking to others. As a result, the need to validate oneself is heightened, hence leading to one-upping in every avenue to prove worth, not realizing they are holding others in contempt, they are disrespectful.
I see this often. People have no regard for people's walls, videos, phones, life, conversations, and the such, and try to elevate themselves and put others down, while doing it.
They cut others off.
Saints, be humble before the Lord and let Him heal you. Know that He will make you whole. If you disrespect others, simply choose to honor them as a righteous person, and watch the rewards God will pour forth. Many aren't entering breakthroughs because of this very issue.
God bless!

5 “If any of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask of the giving God [Who gives] to everyone liberally and ungrudgingly, without reproaching or faultfinding, and it will be given him.
6 Only it must be in faith that he asks with no wavering (no hesitating, no doubting). For the one who wavers (hesitates, doubts) is like the billowing surge out at sea that is blown hither and thither and tossed by the wind.
7 For truly, let not such a person imagine that he will receive anything [he asks for] from the Lord,
8 [For being as he is] a man of two minds (hesitating, dubious, irresolute), [he is] unstable and unreliable and uncertain about everything [he thinks, feels, decides].” James 1:5-8 AMPC
Be still
Saints, the Love of God turns mankind to repentance. The greatest thing you can do in this life is to love someone with the heart of God to let them know they're seen by Him. This power of God's love causes them to fill covered like the adulterous woman at the feet of Jesus. Many wanted to cast stones at her, but Jesus wrote something so powerful in the sand, and declared "he, who is without sin cast the first stone."
His actions and words penetrated the hearts of those who judged her, and it stopped them in their tracks. He looked at Mary Magdalene and then spoke to her, asking her where were those left to accuse her. She was stunned and overwhelmed, undone by His love, unable to answer. His reply came forth, "Neither do I judge you."(See John 8:1-13) Jesus came to save the world not to condemn it.
The repelling judgments of the accuser of the brethren dwell in the hearts and minds of those who are still living in some sort of sin, and in order to turn the volume down on their "badness," which is a false reality of satan's lies, they put others down, to make themselves feel good. This is an unconscious process and merely the soul's ache to get out of feeling condemned and guilty. If you're feeling condemned you might unconsciously be judging others to make yourself feel better. I get into this extensively and exhaustively in my new book, "The Forbidden Fruit of the Spiritual Disease," as God has me teach on the cure, which is walking in Eternal Life.
Many live in bitterness and don't walk in the power of Eternal life, because they're feeding the flame of the carnal nature. You choose each moment, which fire you're going to put wood on. Either Eternal Life's flame or Gehenna's tongue (hell). (See James 3:4-10) Saints, when you judge others from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which you need to be pruned off, you're doing the work of the accuser.
When you dwell on how others have hurt you, you're doing the work of the accuser. You're spotlighting their failures and condemning them. As a result, your own heart is condemning you. Repent of any judgments and break agreement with the accuser. Pray for others, see the best in them, and seek to love! Love sees the best! (See 1 Corinthians 13:7) Which fire are you going to put wood on? God bless! Robin Kirby Gatto
Dust off the mirrors
I have a small dining room table in my bedroom, where I put all my beautifying stuff, such as makeup, jewelry, and hats. An antique mirror hangs on the wall above it. On the table sits a traveling makeup mirror with the magnified side facing me, to put on my mascara, eyeliner, and eyebrow color. Next to the traveling mirror on the right, is a regular table mirror given to me by my mother, framed by silver flowers, which I use in blow drying my hair and doing skincare applications.
It had been a while since I dusted and thought the area and mirrors could use it. Dust isn’t something I think of consciously, rather it's in the back of my mind. Dust is the negative thoughts of the enemy’s attack on the soul, deep within the subconscious. Like water that drips on a cold night, to keep the pipes from freezing, one particle at a time, gathers on the reflective glass into which we look.
Unlike the early morning responsibility in freezing weather to turn dripping water off in the bathroom and kitchen, one doesn’t rise and think, “I need to dust the mirrors.” Oh sure, there are those few unique personalities that might have a desire to dust, so they might make the time to put a dusting rag to it. However, I would guess that the norm usually is to put it on a list to do another day, which usually turns out to be three times or so a year.
Well, it was that day for me, because God spoke to my heart and said, “dust the mirrors.” I went over to the metal rolling bin by our bathroom door, stacked with small hand towels and bath cloths and used the old white rag I normally use to dust. As I sat in the flowered vintage chair in front of the table, I picked up the travel mirror and dusted the front and back of it. I noticed immediately on the magnified side, how clearer my reflection was. Next, I picked up the mirror that my mother gave me, realizing that it had a lot of dust collected over the glass.
The Lord began to give me a revelation, as He showed me that the same thing happens to our self-image when the enemy attacks our hearts and minds. Without realizing it, the subconscious flings up negative narratives of the wounded parts of the soul, which still need wholeness, and like the little dust particles bit by bit that gather on a mirror, before we know it, there’s no clear image of who we are. We get busy in life, living out our Christianity, without being mindful of these little attacks, which in the book of Solomon are the little foxes that spoil the vine.
15 “[My heart was touched and I fervently sang to him my desire] Take for us the foxes, the little foxes that spoil the vineyards [of our love], for our vineyards are in blossom. 16 [She said distinctly] My beloved is mine and I am his! He pastures his flocks among the lilies.” Song of Solomon 2:15-16 AMPC
The Hebrew word for foxes is shûwʻâl pronounced shoo-awl' and means, “a jackal as a burrower, and a fox.” (SC Hebrew word # 7776) The ancient Hebrew symbols of the Aleph Bet letters that compose fox reveal the deeper meaning of the Shulamite’s issue with which she wrestles. The Hebrew letters are Sheen, Vav, Ayin, and Lamed. The ancient symbol for Sheen is teeth which looks like a “W,” and means to consume in the positive and to devour in the negative. Vav is the ancient symbol of a tent peg/nail and means to add and secure. Ayin is the ancient symbol of an eye and means to see, hear and experience. Finally, Lamed is the ancient symbol of a cattle goad, which looks like a shepherd’s staff with a prick in the curvature and means, tongue, control, and authority. Therefore, these Hebrew letters combine to form the word picture BEING DEVOURED BY THE TONGUE THAT HAS BEEN ADDED TO YOU, WHICH YOU NOW EXPERIENCE.
The little foxes are the negative thoughts of the enemy, burrowed in the small, as dust particles over the self-image. The Word of God is the dust cloth to remove it.
Jesus came to bring us life and life more abundantly, whereas the enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy. Therefore, in our process of working out our salvation in fear and in trembling, we are being pruned of the negative thoughts, which we take captive, realizing it’s the dust particles over our self-image, causing us to think poorly of ourselves. Moreover, from a microscopic view, these particles are the logs in the eye, causing us to perceive others through the narrative of the enemy, the accuser.
We can only love others, as we love ourselves. (Matthew 22:39)
As much as turning off the dripping water on a freezing morning, how much more do we need to dust the particles of the enemy’s lies from our soul, so we can behold ourselves through God’s Word, as we’re being transformed into the image of His beauty, as by the Spirit of the Lord.
“And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit.” 2 Corinthians 3:18 AMPC
The Word of God is the mirror to which we look daily, waiting for the appearance of our reflection. As we dust the false narrative of the enemy’s lies off our souls, we see the Word clearly; it’s unveiled! We’re able to behold the beauty of whom God created us to be, seeing the transformation take place in our lives.
Saints, it’s time to dust the mirrors.
God bless!

Whatever has your attention, controls your intention.
Saints of God, keep your mind on things above and not on things of this earth. The things of this earth will vie for your attention. Vie means "to compete eagerly to achieve something." This comes from the Latin word invitare meaning "to challenge." This Latin word is also where the English word "invite" comes from.
When we give our attention to the things of this world and negative reports, we invite it into our members. Jesus says that we are to be careful and give heed to what we listen to because it will be added unto us. (Mark 4:24-26)
The things of this world are competing for your attention to challenge the Word of God. It brings fear and causes double-mindedness. Wherever we put our attention, controls our intentions. God has me extensively write on this in the new book, The Forbidden Fruit the Spiritual Disease. The whole purpose of satan coming after mankind in the Garden of Eden was to control mankind's intention; there is power in intention.
In Lou De Broglie's "Wave-Particle Duality Theory" there is evidence of our thoughts and emotions, bringing that which we are looking for, into existence. I went into detail about this in my books Rev 22:2 and Mindfulness the Mind of Christ.
Saints, the power God gave to our intention, is beyond our ability to comprehend. This is faith. Faith is able to call things that are not, as though they are. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, evidence of things unseen, that will come into being. Jesus said, be it unto you according to your faith. That is the power of intention! Guard your heart and mind. God bless!

Hebrews 11:1-3; Philippians 4:8; Mark 4:24; Romans 4:17; Mark 9:29
Stomp!
Saints, the shoes of God's peace are so powerful, delivering you from the adversary, as God's peace rules your heart and surpasses your understanding, to tread over serpents and scorpions, where they by no means shall harm you, as God's abiding peace crushes satan under your feet!
Sometimes, you just have to get your stomp on! When the devil comes at me with lies, that would limit who I am in Christ and try and make me someone I am not, I just get my stomp on! I get my chaos slaying, to the one who has no good saying, lying lips, and nasty mischievous smile trying to work his iniquity against me through a lying spirit that wants me to buy his message, and I say NO satan, NOT TODAY, NOT EVER! AND I JUST IMAGINE HIS HEAD UNDER MY BEAUTIFUL SHINY SILVER BOOTS, AND STOMP ON IT!
There are times you need to go through catharsis, which is a purging, a cleansing, where all things are made clear by truth, and stomp your foot on the ground, to realize no devil has a hold on you! No devil is going to speak to you through lying lips, selling you a bill of divination, because you like Paul know that assignment that pretends to be God but is not, and you kick that thing to the curb as he did in Acts 16! When that thing had spoken a message around him long enough as he was doing the work of the Lord, and the HOLY SPIRIT showed Paul what was speaking, he cast it out! He got his stomp on, so that thing couldn't speak to him anymore!
You cannot worry about what others think about you, because they don't understand your battle, your story, your life, or your call. They don't know the warfare you are under. They don't know how far you have pushed through just to get to today!
You just have to step on the Highway of Holiness and let God take you Mach 1 into the call! Saints, someone reading this needs to get violent to seize the Kingdom of Heaven by force, and get your stomp on! God bless! A violent daughter who seizes heaven by force, because I KNOW HIS NAME, and guess what I KNOW MY NAME TOO!

The hidden variable
The Hidden Variable
On July 22 of this year, Rich and I had to get replacement windows. The ones we had prior were rotting to the core, from where the window AC unit had dripped into the wood over the last several decades. The windows were original to the building of the apartment, which was 1928.
The week leading up to the installation, I picked up things here and there in the dining area by the window, which would need to be removed prior to construction. On the morning of the window replacement, Rich and I moved everything else that remained, which would require two people to move. We met the workers at 8 am, and then went on our way to Edgar’s Bakery for a carb-up day, where we got behind a car with a personalized tag EATLIFE. I was delighted; this was confirmation of all I had written thus far in the new book, The Forbidden Fruit, the Spiritual Disease, which is about the Life Jesus carried while in the body.
When we got home, I decided that I was going to have a delightful attitude in putting the furniture and items back into the dining room. Many times, tasks like this can be overwhelming and cause one to see work of this type, as a chore. Rich cleaned the dust boards, as I began dusting an antique Spanish wine rack, that we’re using for olive oils. When I shoved my hand into the third wine slot to dust, I experienced what felt like a nail jabbing into my right thumb.
I pulled my hand out quickly and saw the blood coming from around my nail and finger and realized a considerable chunk of wood had been loose on the vintage piece. Part of the wood broke off from a larger piece, and the rest was in my thumb. Rich and I both went into the kitchen, to wash off the blood. It was apparent that the wood was deep within my thumb, barely visible through my skin, going at an angle from the nail down towards the padding of my thumb.
I was frustrated with myself wishing I’d not dusted, then trying to not let the issue distract me, would go clean a little and then come back into the kitchen to try to see if I might be able to remove the splinter. To no avail, I went to a doctor a few days later and saw the nurse practitioner. The nurse practitioner gave me antibiotics to ensure that no infection would set in and said let’s wait and see what it does in about a week.
The splinter didn’t work its way out and so I went to see a hand surgeon and discussed the possibility of them removing it. They didn’t have a sonogram machine available to see if there was anything there, and the billing manager was out, so I wouldn’t have any idea as to what costs I would be looking at, if I got the surgery done Monday morning August 15th. The best that I could do was come Monday morning, do the sonogram, and hope that the cost of the surgery wouldn’t put me out of pocket too much. Mind you I was getting more frustrated with myself for getting the splinter in the first place, although I wasn’t at fault. I just didn’t want to spend hundreds of dollars to get the splinter removed.
However, after two more weeks, I realized the splinter wouldn’t come out and something had to be done, so I scheduled surgery a second time.
On Monday, August 29th, the day of surgery, a sonogram was done, and it only looked like a fleck of a little splinter. However, once the surgeon began to cut into my thumb, he found a huge piece of wood. Both the surgeon and surgical staff were amazed at the largeness of what was believed to be a fleck. Afterward, my hand was bandaged, and I was sent on my way.
God then spoke to me about the hidden variable that wrestles within our soul, where the enemy causes us to be double-minded, we believe that we are, our mistake.
The message that the choices and mistakes we made are who we are, is the result of the spiritual disease of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, still at work among our members. When we yield to the voice of the stranger, we don’t hear what God is saying, which is that we’re a new creation. We’re a son and daughter of God! We’re favored and highly blessed.
Instead, when the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in our members speaks, it says that we are our sin via our mistakes, the heavy breath of condemnation. This is the spiritual disease of mankind that Jesus came to redeem us from. In Christ Jesus, we are a new creation. We are a royal priesthood and a holy generation.
God began to speak to me about the thorn that Paul wrestled with in 2 Corinthians 12.
7 “And to keep me from being puffed up and too much elated by the exceeding greatness (preeminence) of these revelations, there was given me a thorn (a splinter) in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, to rack and buffet and harass me, to keep me from being excessively exalted.
8 Three times I called upon the Lord and besought [Him] about this and begged that it might depart from me;
9 But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me!” 2 Corinthians 12:7-9 AMPC
The thorn here that Paul wrestled with, represents the message of the enemy sent against him through the carnal nature. The enemy cannot touch our spirit man, he can only touch the flesh; our spirit is born from above. From the beginning in the Garden of Eden, satan perverted the intentions of mankind through the knowledge of good and evil.
Paul’s thorn was allowed to keep him humble. It caused him to seek God at the place of knowing his own intentions, in which he needed freedom.
Likewise, God showed me deeper still, that there are hidden variables in which the enemy attacks our soul. We’re clueless about these hidden places because of the depth to which the wound or issue is buried, like the splinter in my thumb. God revealed to me the grace that He pours out to bring us the sufficiency of Christ Jesus, the Word, to show us MERCY!
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
Just as the surgeon had to dig deep into my thumb, which I couldn’t reach, the Word of Truth is the scalpel of the Great Physician, which reaches deep within the soul to go to our intents and motives.
In our heart surgeries, we’re shown places in which we need God’s mercy, in order to know that we have a Savior, Who came to the human suit, pitched His tent up, and sympathized with our struggle. He overcame the power of this world, and all that the enemy would throw at Him.
Everything is revealed to Jesus, nothing is hidden. He can bring truth into the deepest places of your heart where the splinter of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil lodges. That splinter interprets who we are, others, and our world. Thanks be to God that Jesus wakes us up from the hypnosis.
But by the grace of God go I.
Because of the splinter and its removal, I can see the splendor of my King, Jesus Christ, a Savior so real and sure, that He calls me His own, and I’m not my mistake, I am His! That is the beauty of grace and mercy. You are accepted in the Beloved!
12 “For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.
13 And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, naked and defenseless to the eyes of Him with Whom we have to do.
14 Inasmuch then as we have a great High Priest Who has [already] ascended and passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession [of faith in Him].
15 For we do not have a High Priest Who is unable to understand and sympathize and have a shared feeling with our weaknesses and infirmities and liability to the assaults of temptation, but One Who has been tempted in every respect as we are, yet without sinning.
16 Let us then fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near to the throne of grace (the throne of God’s unmerited favor to us sinners), that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find grace to help in good time for every need [appropriate help and well-timed help, coming just when we need it].” Hebrews 4:12-16 AMPC

The gray brick road
The word “if,” principally spreads throughout the heart and mind in times of inadequacy, with scolding whispers, “if only I would’ve done this,” or “if only I wouldn’t have said that.”
The “if only” is worse; it pulls the soul onto a gray brick road, the pathway of despair and condemnation, stumbling along, feeling misdirected.
You’ve not encountered the gray brick road you might say, well tuck this short blog into your notebook, and pull it out once you find its entrance.
During those times of “if” or “if only,” God is working behind the scenes, doing more than you can possibly think, recalibrating your soul, to know Him in a deeper way.
Surely the disciples had to experience this dilemma, as all souls do, which is why Jesus prepared them for every “if” or “if only” that would come.
“But take notice, the hour is coming, and it has arrived, when you will all be dispersed and scattered, every man to his own home, leaving Me alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]” John 16:32-33 AMPC
Jesus addressed the time in which the disciples would enter the gray brick road in the Gospel of John. Scattered and dispersed from Him, the whispers had to crowd Peter, James, and John, as Niagara Falls “if only you would not have said that Peter,” “If only you would have only done that James,” or “if only you would have stayed John.”
Jesus defeated the gray brick road in this world and brings us out of its winding path, closing the door to the entrance, as we’re liberated in the freedom of His peace. The gray brick road brings with it tribulation, distress, and frustration, all leading to fear. The peace that Jesus left for His disciples would pull them off the distressful path, giving them contentment, that there’s another Way.
That Way is Jesus, the life He gives so freely to all who will receive. That is the peace He distributed to all who would yield to His call, to enter the peace of the Lord, knowing this world has no power over them.
Saints, there are so many distractions in this world, which suffocate all life within our beings of Christ Jesus, which is His peace. When you find yourself frustrated, distressed, or discouraged, know that you’re on the gray brick road of “IF ONLY,” and God will bring you out in such peace of His Son because He has already defeated the world’s power, the gray brick road!
You did your best!
I have to share this! Rich and I enjoy drinking our afternoon coffee with watching America's Got Talent or Britain's Got Talent. The other day we saw the most beautiful thing. These children who were slow mentally, and severely challenged, did a dance that was far from perfect, but they did their BEST!
Their joy and enthusiasm spilled over into their performance that captivated the entire audience.
Then one of the judges gave them THE GOLD BUZZER!!!!!!!
I was completely undone! All I could hear God say to me, was Robin so many times you and Rich have been like those kids, and haven't been perfect, but did your very best, and all I delighted to do, was give you the desires of your heart!
I WAS WRECKED I TELL YOU!!!!! I saw myself as those mentally and emotionally challenged kids who were in special classes, and in this life I was merely doing my best, and how God was delighted in the fact that in my pressing in toward Christ Jesus, how His mercy saw me as beautiful in His eyes!
Saints, some of you feel the same! You know you’re not perfect, but you're doing your best!
WE ARE ALL SPECIAL NEEDS KIDS TO GOD, WHO LOVES US!
IT IS BEYOND AMAZING!
BE BLESSED!
Pause
Saints of God,
With all that's going on in this present age, the enemy is distracting many to feel as though they're in this pressurized cooker mentally and emotionally, giving rise to anxiety. Resist this attempt of the enemy's snare, to be caught up in the things of life that happen, which would distract you from the race of faith!
Keep your eyes on Christ Jesus, and JUST BREATHE!
When we see the word selah in scripture, especially in the Psalms, it means to reflect on something by taking a pause in life. David knew this well, and had many opportunities before He was king to do this very thing.
The trials, which were meant to mature him in spirit, put him in a place where he had no other choice but to PAUSE!
God gave me an acronym for PAUSE, the Power Attained Underpinned by Salvation from Eternity.
We try and address our problems through our soul that is pressurized and don't realize, we are clueless to the Kingdom of Heaven around us. Thus, many times we're allowed to be in circumstances that force us to PAUSE. It's then we discover the Power of God, which we then attain, knowing that it is underpinned through our salvation, bringing us eternity, the Kingdom of Heaven!
Don't be stressed or overwhelmed at your present circumstances. Simply look at it as opportunity to PAUSE, and realize the greatness of God in your life!
God bless!

God is bigger than a number!
Saints of God, it cannot be emphasized that you have to shut your senses down to the things of this present age, which would bring discouragement. I will be doing a video this morning on Walking With Wisdom, and will share the Father's heart on this issue. So many are looking at the increase of prices, and the Lord would say to you, YOUR GOD IS BIGGER THAN A NUMBER!!!
GET YOUR EYES OFF OF NUMBERS!!!!!!!!
Numbers can bring fear if we let them, but that's not our portion. Our portion is to look up to heaven, from where our help comes from, and know that GOD IS ABLE!
I remember 4 years ago, when the window broke in our vehicle, and as a full-minister who has lived on faith since the beginning of 2011, I can tell you things like this would shake me from time to time. God then told me 4 years ago when our window broke, ROBIN I AM BIGGER THAN A NUMBER! The cost of fixing that window IS JUST A NUMBER! I have seen my God, supply for us all throughout being a full-time minister and being faithful to do what He has called me to in this lifetime. I simply obey, and He takes care of the rest.
Saints, we're of a different place, this world is not our home; we're in it but not of it. Our supply comes from God alone, not a person! As God shakes the heavens and earth, He will bring the gold out of the treasures of this present age, into the hands of His people! We will be protected, we will prosper! Be hopeful and expectant, God has a plan that is Ephesians 3:20!
God bless!

6 For thus says the Lord of hosts: Yet once more, in a little while, I will shake and make tremble the [starry] heavens, the earth, the sea, and the dry land; 7 And I will shake all nations and the desire and the precious things of all nations shall come in, and I will fill this house with splendor, says the Lord of hosts. 8 The silver is Mine and the gold is Mine, says the Lord of hosts. 9 The latter glory of this house [with its successor, to which Jesus came] shall be greater than the former, says the Lord of hosts; and in this place will I give peace and prosperity, says the Lord of hosts. Haggai 2:6-9 AMPC
Come as you are!
I have to share this; it is hilarious and definitely makes a point. So, I get texts sent to my phone for when a package is dropped off, just in case it's on the steps by the mailboxes. I have to run a couple of flights down and make sure it's there on the steps, if the package isn't at my door.
Well I get pinged from UPS that my package is here. I run down and no package. I go to the street and see the UPS truck across the street at a high rise apartment, and am running barefoot downtown across the roads. I shout to the UPS driver running to the door of the other apartments across the street. She then said that she left my delivery by the office door. I told her she's not to leave it there and then cross the busy downtown street barefooted, dancing on the asphalt with the rocks in the road, and to the office of my complex and no package with my name on it.
So I run back across the street barefoot standing in the middle of the road raising my hand up for the UPS driver to stop and tell her my package isn't there. She then goes on to dismiss it but pulls into the median. I run barefoot down the road of downtown Birmingham to her truck and low and behold there is my delivery still on her truck. She tried to say that another UPS driver was there and had my package and I told her that I was certain she had it. OH MY! So I finally get my package after I've run up and down the street and run back and forth two times across the street! Sometimes, people want to look pretty for their deliverance! Woo hooo now that will preach!
Sometimes you have to come as you are to God, desperate for Him, to get your deliverance! I came as I was, when He delivered me years ago! We are so busy worrying about what people might think about us in getting our deliverance. NOT ME!!!!!!!!! I ran across the street all around three apartment complexes, not worried that people were thinking, "who is this woman running across the street barefoot, shouting and in the middle of the road stopping traffic!" LOL ROFL DO YOU HEAR THIS?????? I wanted my delivery!!!! I didn't care how I looked in getting it!
God bless! Robin Kirby Gatto
Burn the shirt!
Saints of God, know that God is bringing the strength of His Name to your person, through the power of His Word, as you know the holiness of God, being washed by the Word of Truth, tasting the goodness of God in the Land of the Living, as you know that HE IS FOR YOU! Someone needs to hear this today! Do you ever have one of those "IT'S MY FAULT" days? You know where the enemy tries to tell you that everyone's dilemma in your life, is because you did or didn't do .....______________
Do you feel like you own the T-shirt “It’s My Fault!”
That is the trap of the accuser of the brethren that wants you to see things through the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and feel bad that everyone else in your life is having a hard time, and it would all be resolved if you didn't do or would have done ......
Listen, God wants to expose this false narrative in your life. Whenever you have "It's my fault" creep up on your members (heart and mind), cast that thought down! Know that it's the poor self-image speaking, and that you need healing and freedom! All behavior is learned. Thus, you have to unlearn this narrative of "It's my fault," and turn to the Word of God that says "I can do all things through Christ Jesus!" (Philippians 4:13)
Be at peace and cast this false narrative down that limits your destiny! Thank God for all that you have in your life, that which seems good and even the things that seem not so good. COUNT EVERYTHING AS A BLESSING! Even to the hungry soul the bitter tastes sweet! (Proverbs 27:7
P.S. BURN THE SHIRT!
God bless! Robin Kirby Gatto
Adjustable, level up!
ADD-JUST-ABLE
As Rich and I were at the gym Wednesday morning, finishing our chest and arm workout, I couldn’t help but see the wording on the machine, “Adjustable Cable.” It was then that God spoke to my heart, that His “Just are Able,” and that He would “Add” unto them.
“For in the Gospel a righteousness which God ascribes is revealed, both springing from faith and leading to faith [disclosed through the way of faith that arouses to more faith]. As it is written, The man who through faith is just and upright shall live and shall live by faith.” Romans 1:17 AMPC
The Greek word for just is díkaios pronounced dik'-ah-yos meaning, “equitable (in character or act); innocent, holy, just, and righteous.” (Strong’s Concordance Greek word # 1342) The just, are those who are righteous through Christ Jesus. The just, are the ones, to whom God is able to add His promises.
This past weekend felt like the weekend from hell. Many assaults came upon my person, mentally and emotionally, driving me to a place where I felt inept in everything, and as though I wanted to stop living life. I knew it was the enemy roaring against my mind, and I pressed through, leaning on the Word of Truth to resist satan.
God then told me that His people had to ADJUST, and that it was the present warfare stirring God’s people to wake up to the Father’s plan, His hope. Thus, a release of great distraction and discouragement was allowed, to cause us to MOVE to a place we wouldn’t have otherwise.
Adjust comes from two Latin words, which mean NEAR TO. God showed me that as our soul was so reticent in present circumstances, where we’ve not known God’s call, that we needed to be moved near to the Kingdom of Heaven, knowing WHO WE ARE!
It has taken the trials and tribulation to push us into the place of God’s promise, so that we know the place in which we’re to move. The emphasis has been on moving to the next level. I heard God say that it is a time to “level up.”
Level up means to go higher in position than we already are. We’ve tolerated what we have believed were worth, in the present circumstances surrounding us. At this present time, it is intolerable, in how you allow others to treat you, or what you’ll put up with. As a result, the assaults have been allowed so that we know our worth, and where we’re to no longer be quiet and stand our ground, on what we believe is to be the environment we want to dwell in.
I myself, came to this impasse this past weekend, as I realized that “the last straw had broken the camel’s back,” and what I tolerated in years past, was intolerable for my person, since I know my worth and love myself, seeing my value through God’s eyes.
Saints, this is where we are. The attacks have occurred to get you to ADJUST yourselves where you presently are. Reevaluating where God is now moving you in this time, as you know He is Able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above what we can think or imagine. (Ephesians 3:20)
Don’t beat yourself up, if you’ve had a come apart (meltdown), merely know that things are happening to get you to know your worth through Christ. In knowing your worth, you will know where He is moving you and LEVEL UP to that promotion!
God bless!

Soul gas
Excerpt from: The Forbidden Fruit the Spiritual Disease
By: Robin Kirby-Gatto
Soul Gas – Soulish Dreams
One of the things the subconscious does, while sleeping, is release little evidences of the ego’s issues, like passing gas. This might sound too graphic for some. However, it is the best analogy in revealing the area in which pride sits in the self-image, holding onto rotten fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
As Lucifer was lifted in pride in the heavenlies, bringing the knowledge of evil to other angelic host, he couldn’t perceive his own rottenness, the stench of the knowledge of evil. He thought he had the answer to the ills of others he believed, were in the same predicament. This predicament was the exalted ego, that caused Lucifer to think of himself, more highly than he should.
Likewise, the soul’s ego is exalted in the subconscious mind, in the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, making us good many times, while it makes others bad. This need to make others bad, is the soul’s reprieve from the false narrative of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, like a morphine drip. It’s the addiction of the soul’s grand illusion of purgatory, where it’s caught between heaven and hell. This happens to the fractured areas of our soul, and only from the Knowledge of Christ, can we be set free.
Dreams are the best escape for the soul’s stench, to placate the false narrative, where it escapes into words and images, representing the projection of the soul’s ego. For example, I’ve had many send me dreams that they’ve had about me, where they’re either the hero sent to help me, or the recipient of some bad act I’ve committed. These dreams are merely the soul’s gas, like farting.
In the natural, the gas that’s trapped in a person’s body is released from their bum (a nicer way of saying behind), many times with noise, but even as much in the SBD (silent but deadly) release. This is how it is with the ego in a dream. There’s a rotten stench within the members of the subconscious, and instead of just coming out and dealing with the issue within one’s self-image, it’s easier for the ego to project the soul’s problem onto another, where we then point the finger and make them out to be bad, when in fact it’s the issue of our own soul, which is why we had the dream. We cannot handle the truth. As a result, the soul makes us aware of the issues of rotten fruit, via a dream, otherwise known as Soul Gas.
When we find ourselves dreaming about another person doing something that’s offensive or not lovely, it’s the log in the eye that’s operative of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which thereby causes us to project our badness onto someone else, and maybe someone we look up to. The reason for this, is we subconsciously believe if that person has the issue, then we’re not as bad as we thought.
Therefore, it’s imperative to be mindful of the dreams that the soul has, where it plays the hero. Many times, those hero dreams are the ego within, causing it to be numb and clueless to the trapped gas of rotten fruit.
