Tuesday 11/12/13
It started when I wrote down the date today 11/12/13 11,12,13. And it was as if I heard one step after another.
I didn't get any more understanding of this but somehow I knew this was significant. This combination of dates will never happen again. Next year it will be 12/13/14 but that wasn't the focus of what I was seeing this morning.
Then I went to the scriptures that I have been reading in Deuteronomy ...hey, I spelled that right! And in Deuteronomy 8 I read how the Lord spoke to His people through Moses in verse 11. Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God by not keeping
His Commandments
His Precepts
His Statutes which I command you this day.
The Lord goes on to say in verse 12:
Beware lest you say in your heart, My Power and the might of my hand have gotten me wealth.
Remember earnestly the Lord God who gives power to get wealth that He may establish HIs covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day....
If you forget the Lord your God and walk after other gods, to serve and worship them, I testify that you shall surely perish like the nations before you which the Lord makes to perish before you. So shall you perish because you would not obey the voice of the Lord your God....end of Deuteronomy 8.
Beneath this in my journal I wrote 11/12/13 and said each step, each day is towards the accomplishment......
About that time I was directed to attend to some logging into an accountability program that I have committed to.
Sometime later I opened my email, phone or something and found this article and the shaking began. I am not shaking as I write this but the stirring in my heart, like adrenalin, is still surging through my being as I think of this article. I can honestly say I have NEVER had this response to anything ever in my life. However, when the spire was put on the One World Trade Building, I had a horrible sinking feeling and it was as if I saw an idol being raised into the sky. It wasn't pointing to the One God and Lord of All, but it was the arrogance of a nation who in our rebellion have said, whose leadership has said, and whose people say, The bricks are fallen but we will rebuild bigger and better!
The word of the Lord today was as is listed above
Beware lest you say in your heart, My Power and the might of my hand have gotten me wealth.
Remember earnestly the Lord God who gives power to get wealth that He may establish HIs covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day....
Oh Lord, our God! We are a rebellious nation, a rebellious people!! We come before you knowing our pride has motivated us, our desire to lift our heads above the nations, to act as if we are all powerful and we bear before you the humiliation of our humanity and cry out to you for your mercy in the name of Jesus Christ who shed His blood for this our sin, the pride of our nature, the arrogance of our minds that we would lift ourselves up before You the Almighty God who reigns on earth and in Heaven, who is and was and is to come, The Lord God and there is none other! We come in total need of the provision of Heaven, to stay alive this day, to have light, to have shelter, to have even have breath to breathe. We confess our wealth and our poverty before you is dependent upon Your hand upon our lives and may we learn wealth and poverty are alike unto You that You alone sustain us, You alone give us breath as individuals and as the peoples of this nation, and a citizens of the earth which You O Lord God are Lord of!
We declare your name over the tallest spire in the USA and declare that it is nothing!! It is an abomination and an idol even as the tower of Babel was. You are the One who is High and Lifted Up over the USA, You alone are the tallest Spire in the earth...and your name is Jesus!! Your name is Higher than any other. Your name is higher than this one world trade center spire. You are bigger than all concepts of One World Government. You are the Lord God of Heaven and Earth and there is NONE LIKE YOU!! In you Lord, we find forgiveness, and call out for the mercy that you would pour out upon the USA, upon New York City, upon all aspects of this nation. Whatever is designated for 11/13 and 11/14 we cover with your precious blood and declare YOU ALONE ARE WORTHY of all praise and honor and glory and unto You we give thanks and REJOICE...YOU ARE THE LORD GOD. JESUS IS LORD OF ALL, JESUS REIGNS ETERNALLY from the heavens now and forevermore!

CHICAGO (AP) — The new World Trade Center tower in New York replaced Chicago's Willis Tower as the nation's tallest building when an international panel of architects announced Tuesday that the needle atop the skyscraper can be counted when measuring the structure's height.
The Height Committee of the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat said the needle is not an antenna but a spire, and thus is a permanent part of the building.
The needle, measuring 408 feet tall, was more than enough to confirm Chicago is the Second City when it comes to tall buildings.
With the needle, 1 World Trade Center is a symbolically important 1,776 feet tall. Without it, the building would have been only 1,368 feet tall — well short of the 1,451-foot Willis Tower.
At stake was more than just bragging rights in two cities that feast on superlatives and the tourist dollars that might follow: 1 World Trade Center stands as a monument to those killed in the 9/11 attacks, and its architects had sought to capture the echo of America's founding year in the structure's height.
"The committee was well aware of the gravity of the situation," Antony Wood, the council's executive director, said during a news conference in Chicago.
The building's 1,368 feet height without the needle also holds symbolism; it is the height of the original World Trade Center.
The Height Committee comprises 30 industry professionals from all over the world and is widely recognized as the final arbiter of official building heights around the world. They conferred behind closed doors last week in Chicago, where the world's first skyscraper appeared in 1884.
The new World Trade Center tower remains under construction and is expected to open next year.
The designers originally had intended to enclose the mast's communications gear in decorative cladding made of fiberglass and steel. But the developer removed that exterior shell from the design, saying it would be impossible to properly maintain or repair. Without it, the question was whether the mast was now primarily just a broadcast antenna.
Under the council's current criteria, spires that are an integral part of a building's aesthetic design count. Broadcast antennas that can be added and removed do not.
Daniel Safarik, an architect and spokesman for the nonprofit council, said it might consider amending its height criteria. Such a move would have much broader implications that could force a reshuffle in the rankings of the tallest buildings in the world.
