Gilbert House with Derek and Sharon K Gilbert teaches and expounds the Word of God, such as Unraveling Revelation and right now we’re going through the book of Job. I’ll try to add the websites here. Enjoy your continued education in the knowledge and wisdom of the Lord by His gift of the Holy Spirit which He sent to teach us all things to come and be our Comforter. And yes, He uses us to teach what we’ve learned and will reveal those that are trustworthy: trust HIM to show you and He will. He will even reveal those not to-🌿

Be wise ~

Are you getting accurate information, following up on COVID19, it’s implications, the “agenda”, the obvious “birth pangs” that must take place before Jesus’s return...and do you still think “it won’t happen to us”? Do we really think America is immune to what’s going on “over there in other parts of the world” regarding the economy, health, depopulation, earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, famine, plagues, weather changes,...

Take the few minutes to watch the  video at the end of this post- I urgently recommend going to Stevequayle.com and read the ALERTS section. DO YOUR RESEARCH. 

Ephesians 3:14 ¶ For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

20 ¶ Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Daniel 11:32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.

33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.

34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.

35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.

“They that understand shall instruct many” - that’s what I’m doing: instructing about whatever it is that I understand and have learned.

Lest I forget

I awoke this morning to a very cloudy rainy day, which seemed to match my mood, my feelings - could be guilt for not doing what I knew I should do about a given situation, concerns for just whatever- I admit, the lies of the enemy at times seem very convincing-

I walked into our front room and looked out of the window, and up through those dark storm clouds was this one “small” opening revealing what’s actually BEHIND those dark clouds: the blue skies are still THERE!!

It was like a REVELATION- it was like the Lord was showing me that even when there’s a storm in our lives, HE’S STILL HERE! He never left, He hasn’t deserted me.



I know, MANY of us know, that the world is gonna get VERY dark, and that’s putting it mildly.  But we must ALWAYS remember, HE IS ALWAYS WITH ME.


Psalm 27:1-14 KJV
[1] The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? [2] When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. [3] Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. [4] One thing have I desired of the Lord , that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord , and to enquire in his temple. [5] For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. [6] And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord . [7] Hear, O Lord , when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me. [8] When thou saidst , Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord , will I seek. [9] Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. [10] When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up. [11] Teach me thy way, O Lord , and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. [12] Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty. [13] I had fainted , unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. [14] Wait on the Lord : be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.

Oh, to be rid of our regrets!

Feeling exposed? Like all of your sins, negative junk, bad attitudes, and the like, are just open to anyone looking? 

When we ask Jesus into our heart, repent and ask forgiveness for all we have sinned (let’s be honest here: we were ALL born into sin), He pulls down the curtain to our past. Gone. (FYI: that’s a heating pad & favorite books on the antique table. Just sayin’)

Hebrews 10:9-23 KJV
[9] Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. [10] By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all . [11] And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: [12] But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; [13] From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. [14] For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. [15] Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, [16] This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; [17] And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. [18] Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. [19] Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, [20] By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; [21] And having an high priest over the house of God; [22] Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. [23] Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

While doing housework

While I was sweeping the hard wood floors in the house this morning, I was thinking things like: why is it so important to praise God, why He hates disobedience/sin so much, and why it is necessary to praise Him often. Is it because it makes Him feel good? You know, like when someone praises US it makes us feel good, puffed up, or just improves our self-confidence? Since God is love and love is not puffed up, proud, vain, nor seeks it's own (I Cor 13), then that's out.

So many Christians are making the claim: "we're all sinners, no one's perfect."  They justify and rationalize in continuing to do what they want, when they want, and don't want to give up certain sins.  Then where's the fruit in our lives that reveal our change of heart? The Word says we are a new creature in Christ.  "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." 2 Corinthians 5:17 According to their way of thinking, they do believe Jesus died for their sins and therefore are going to heaven, but everything else is irrelevant and unnecessary as long as they "believe" He died for their sins.  That's it - not admitting that we're to repent of our sins when we come to Christ who forgives us of our sins, we turn from our wicked ways. 

"Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?" Romans 6:16   As long as they go to the Institutional Church (IC) on Sundays or so, they believe they're "safe".  If we are caught up in a sin that has us bound and we WANT to quit doing it, the Lord wants to set us free from that by the power of the Holy Spirit, and if we need further help, He will reveal those people that can help us with that, too.

"Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." 2 Timothy 2:15 

Satan has been deceiving us and God wants us to be set free and open to know the truth, which we will find in the Word.

We shouldn't still WANT to sin, we should want to please the Lord and follow after Him, we should WANT to be led of the Holy Spirit so that we can walk in newness of life, not like we used to do before we accepted Christ as our Savior, those ways that we hated and wanted to be free of!  Including thoughts of depression, oppression, bondage, thoughts of suicide, rejection, etc, which sinning ends up IN death: spiritual death and sometimes physical death. So this is what came to me as I was sweeping this morning-

God hates disobedience and sin because it's evil and because it opens the door to Satan wreaking havoc in OUR lives, in US.  It damages US.  He is already Holy, Pure, Loving,...sin hurts US and He doesn't want US to be HURT!  We have children, they have children, and THEY will have children.  My prayer is for their GOOD, the BEST of what God has for them.  I pray AGAINST evil to come into their lives. And since I'm not God, and I love my own family, how much MORE does God love US?!

THEREFORE: As we continue to read the Word, which the bible says, Jesus is the Word (think about that one!), and the Bible is the "living word of God", throughout the Bible He speaks against sin (for OUR GOOD) and says to PRAISE HIM (because it also says that when we praise Him, we enter into His gates with thanksgiving in our hearts, and we are hid in Him, we are CLOSE to Him, and HIS PROTECTION)...

Praising God has benefits for us, as well! Our protection, our peace, yes we praise Him because He is worthy to be praised, and we SHOULD praise Him for many reasons, I'm talking here about what He wants for us because He loves us so much and wants us to NOT OPEN DOORS THAT WILL GIVE SATAN PERMISSION INTO OUR LIVES.  And praise also defeats the enemy in our lives.  When we're praising the Lord and have thanksgiving in our hearts, we're defeating the oppression of the devil and we're not dwelling on evil negative thoughts. 

We must be aware of what Satan is capable of, be aware of our Enemy.  How can we just believe in God and ignore Satan, the ruler of this world?  I didn't say he OWNS this world, he is the RULER.  We need to be wise as serpents, gentle as doves. 

"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death." Revelation 12:11
