Good evening to all those beautiful souls out there who find themselves searching for my latest blog conversation with God each Friday. Well, I have good news for you. I have just been notified by WordPress (my publisher) that my most popular blog submissions so far this year has been my 3-part submission on “God’s Holy Word Has Something To Say About Colors”.

Because the title above was first printed and published by WordPress in February 2022, many of you more current readers may not have seen it. Therefore, because of its continued attraction to so many readers, I have decided to reprint it again.

So, to show my appreciation to your loyal interests in my private and personal spiritual conversations with the Holy Spirit, I can only hope and pray that something has been written that has drawn you ever so much more closer to His will and His ways. Please know that I am so very grateful for the 3,409 views this blog post has received so far in 2025. May your interest in the holy things of God continue and become more and more bountiful in the days to come.

Please stay connected to “Conversations With God Using Scripture” for the next two weeks to get another opportunity to read and digest a reprint of “God’s Holy Word Has Something to Say About Colors – Part 2 and Part 3.

Have you every thought about just how much God’s choice of color for all of his vast creation affects man’s psychological persona and the recording of history? Well I have. When I began to write this post, I consulted the Holy Spirit on this subject and He reminded me of the vivid role a certain sea had at the culmination of what had been a benign relationship between two nations. That sea’s name was called…

The Red Sea

In Exodus 15:4-5 NIV “Pharaoh’s chariots and his army he (God) has hurled into the sea. The best of Pharaoh’s officers are drowned in the Red Sea.”

Now take a look at the definition of “RED” in the color chart below and imagine how many incidents you can ascribe to the events in the Bible concerning the Red Sea. List some of the danger and excitement it caused. For instance, the daring trust and faith the Hebrew people had to place in God that the wind forces would hold back the waves. In addition to how the Hebrews felt, I am quit certain you can think of other emotions listed on the chart that Pharaoh’s army felt that affected their psychic. For after all, this conquest was a bloody one and that color is also red.

The Color Yellow

Yellow and the color gold are used interchangeably in the holy scriptures. This color mostly represents loyalty and suffering. Golden crowns are placed on kings heads and a person who is suffering from leprosy has a skin condition that has turned “YELLOW”. So joy, cheerfulness and loyalty are associated to kings, while caution and intelligent decision making are to be exerted when exposed to contagious diseases or fuels that expend energy and warmth, such as a blazing fire whose hue is described as yellow. Such traits are listed on the chart.

In Leviticus 13:32 NIV: “On the seventh day the priest is to examine the sore and if the itch has spread and there is no yellow hair in it and it does not appear to be more than skin deep, he must be shaved except for the diseased area, and the priest is to keep him in isolation another seven days.”

The Color Blue

Have you noticed that blue is the color of the sky as well as the color of deep waters here on earth. So the world is surrounded with the color blue. Therefore, when we look up at the endless span of space we can imagine a place where we can ascend and be far above all of our trails, worries, and disillusions. When we look deep into the blue sea or ocean or even the water in a fish tank, we can imagine floating away or sailing away or just wondering away from the havoc and destruction down here on this world. This color evokes peace, tranquility and calmness.

A number of Bible scholars have attributed the 7 colors of a rainbow with the 7 Names of God. Further more, they have assigned meaning to the 7 rainbow colors. The 7 colors of a rainbow are: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. (The acronym “ROY G. BIV”) is a handy reminder for the rainbow color sequence.

I personally believe the Bible scholars took the time to ascribe meaning to the rainbow colors because there is no reference to the color BLUE in all of scripture. Since well documented miracles have been recorded about supernatural healings and the bearers of those miracles have also reported to doctors and historians that they imagined they saw a “blue” hue light glowing all around the phenomenon, the color blue took on character traits of having healing powers. Thus associated with one of the names for God: Jehovah-Rapha—The Lord Our Healer.

In Exodus 15:26 NIV: He said, “If you listen carefully to the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, who heals you.”

Be sure to meditate on all of the attributes of the color blue listed in the chart below. For they are ascribed in the Rainbow.

In Genesis 9:12, 13, 15b TNIV And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you (Noah) and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come. I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.” (Read the “Blue” list in the chart below and weep for joy. Hallelujah!!! and Amen!!!)

PLEASE RETURN NEXT FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 2022, FOR PART TWO OF THIS HIGHLY INTERESTING AND INFORMATIVE SUBJECT ON COLOR PSYCHOLOGY IN THE BIBLE. HOPEFULLY, MY RESEARCH ON THIS SUBJECT WILL HELP INCREASE YOUR BIBLICAL KNOWLEDGE ON HOW GOD EMPOWERED ALL OF US TO SEEK AND LEARN MORE ABOUT HIS GOODNESS AND MERCIES CONCERNING THE SECRETS OF CREATION.

My prayer for you: Dear Heavenly Father, please make me into a child of the light. For I have put behind me the dark light of sin. Please continue to break me and mold me into the light of the Lord. Help me to expose sin and be willing to work on my relationships with other people. Most people realize that certain colors can affect one’s disposition and character. Do all that is necessary to make me an instrument of Thy peace. Help me to develop this biblical truth of recognition of various colors so that all will be able to connect to your invitation to a glorious life in You. Amen and Amen.

Scripture Lesson: “You were once darkness, but now you are light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth)” Ephesians 5:8-9

Yes, it is that time of year again. And no doubt you are ‘itching‘ to know how you have performed in the service of the Lord so far in the year 2025. Obviously, if your previous test scores needed a little tweaking, you still have approximately 2 remaining months to improve your scores. Well, surprisingly, after I evaluated my last report card, I was not too pleased. So I decided to muster up some humble pie courage and solicit an appointment with my Master of Glorified Living instructor. Prior to keeping the appointment, I practiced my pious, multifaceted-persona appearance.

After a casual greeting of both minds, I dove right into why I wanted to meet with my professor. You see, I want to place some urgency on this meeting because I felt that the academic pursuit that I had prayerfully selected was not as scholastically rewarding in the long run as some of the other students’ pursuits were. My professor leaned back in his leather chair and made a remarkable comment.

First he asked me if I had prayed to God concerning my choice of college academic studies. A little peeved at his inquiry, I responded, Yes, of course! But then very wholeheartedly I added, but I don’t intend to pursue the highest degree offered in this line of work. The professor was very serious as he gently responded to my outburst. Since you indicated that you had prayed over your choice of studies, do you not know that when God is in the mix of handing out his “job assignments” he does not measure whether the task is great or small, he looks at your faithfulness in pursuing his will and his ways…not yours.

“Brothers [and Sisters], think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards, not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things–and the things that are not–to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him. (1st Corinthians 1:26-29)

I once was young, but now I am old. But, because of the protection, love, prosperity, and the protection of the Holy Spirit, the Good Lord has covered me all the days of my life! I have learned to be thankful for all the blessings that the Lord has sent my way. But most of all I pray that my life of gratitude has been pleasing in the sight of God. And my reward will be that I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever and ever. It is my sincere desire to hold on to His unchanging hand until traveling days are over. Amen and Amen!

From the beginning, God has a call on all of our lives. He sought me out from birth. I know this because I asked Him. One evening during my prayer and bible reading time, I was led to claim His words that say, “…and you shall be called Sought After.” (Isaiah 62:12b NIV). My name was capitalized right there on the pages of the Bible (O.T.)

Although the timing that the Holy Spirit called me was at a young adult age, like most of you, I turned a deaf ear to his voice. I allowed the voices of Mr and Mrs. Excuse, Aunt and Uncle Procrastination and my favorite cousin Self-willed Willie to have control over my life. They took turns distorting my hearing, understanding, mind, heart, time, talents and my treasures. Enough, all ready!!!

If the truth was told, we all have bodies that come designed with a myriad of voices. Did you know that your persona reflects which voice you are listening to at any given time in your life? At present (and I pray from now on), my persona reflects a contented sheep because the voice I am listening to is that of the Shepherd.

So, when I came to myself, I repented and prayerfully asked the Lord to forgive me for procrastinating in compiling my thoughts into written words on paper. I have also thanked the Holy Spirit for silencing every negative voice that previously had dominion over me. For I once was young but now I am old and am privileged to see just who it was that rescued me from the snares of life. Thank God for those of you whose eyes were opened in your youth and you responded.

But no matter what age, begin seeking the Lord today. Start recognizing the extraordinary methods of operation He is performing in your lives. In my situation, and as my journal writings reflect, the Holy Spirit turned my personal Bible study quiet time into an interactive, stimulating and intimate conversational time with Him.

p.s. – Some people take self-help courses and read self-help books; the problem is that self cannot help self because self is the problem.

This Part Two segment is to say “Thank You” to all readers and followers of this blog. I am so happy to be reunited with all of you once again. Yes, my computer has been repaired and swept clean of all viruses and malware. And I am back on the J.O.B.

Hopefully, you have had an opportunity to read Part One of this mission assignment. So, now that you have received a solid foundation on which to commence your assignment(*), let’s start with a happy face, a trusting heart and a song on your lips.

If You’re Happy And You Know It | Kids Songs –

In this Part Two segment of God Said Open Your Eyes And See The Trees!, the theme is: “Blessed Are The Poor In Spirit For They Shall See God?” You will notice that the title segment ends with a question mark instead of a period. It was intentional. Whenever you share your message to the ‘Trees‘, make certain you keep in mind that your principle subject is always our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And not YOU!

KEEP IN MIND………

Before a person (Tree) comes to God, he or she is most likely poor in spirit. This can possibly mean the person is wandering around in life, doing their own thing. Or, the majority of the time listening to and following bad advice. Possibly, going from one misguided decision to another. Confused. Wasting time, money, resources, strength, and health.

Thus, that person is extremely poor in spirit. But wait! Will they actually ‘see God’? Is there hope on the horizon?

Yes, because in all of thy getting, (and if they live long enough by the grace of God), and through all of their setbacks, one day they will surrender. That will be their day of reckoning. (This is where YOU come in.) That day is when they will be receptive to the Word of God. So far, they have been in the wilderness of life. Now, the ‘Tree’ is ready to come out of the wilderness or that negative thought pattern.

However, first they must realize just Who was always in the wilderness with them anonymously. God was always with that person, however, he did not show himself. But now that the person is ready (has come to himself), God will show himself. For God blesses the meek by attending his ear towards them.

Now the question is…will God show himself! God will surely show himself within a Burning Bush. The burning bush represents all the troubles and riotous living and bad decisions that person has endured. The fire within the bush is the Mighty God. Burning brightly…but not consuming it.

God is going to require the sinner man (or woman) to approach him. But first the person must take off their shoes. Take off Satan. Get off following the wrong path of error.

WHY?

Because now they (the Tree) is standing before God…standing on his path called Holy Ground. God instantly changes the person’s name to Moses which means he has been drawn out of the waters of confusion. (In scripture, water represents trouble. Jesus conquered water by walking on it…putting it under His feet.)

God is in that wilderness that we all go through, but we just don’t see him. We cannot see him as long as we allow ourselves to be slaves to the devil (darkness). We must come to the Light and realize that when the scales fall from our eyes and we see God, we become somebody. We are blessed! We can say, “I AM somebody in/with Christ Jesus”!

Since God and Jesus are One, all God has to say to Moses is ‘I AM who I AM’. (I Am the Father and I Am the Son. I Am the Holy Spirit…3 in one.)

So now that the sinner man is barefooted (has put off error) and standing on holy ground (God) before a bush (his troubles) that is on fire (the 3rd Person of the Trinity), but not being destroyed (the bush is not consumed because trouble will always be with us), now the sinner man who has been brought into the Light is ready to receive his assignment and to begin to work for God/Jesus/Holy Spirit (instead of Satan).

AMEN AND AMEN!

It is now up to you, Oh Special Tree, as one of God’s missionaries, to go into the highways and by ways and teach the “Trees”. If you are a little timid, put on clothing with a message written on it. Carry a few track messages in your pocket. And mostly wear a smile when you are on the J.O.B. Practice makes perfect and you will be strengthened, too. Don’t worry, be happy! And show it!!!!!

Open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest! John 4:35

This week’s blog concerns itself with a metaphorically definition of the word “fields”. If you study the picture long enough you can almost see the 3 bikers pedaling back to their village to spread the good news. While in the forrest and after an encounter with the Holy Spirit the trio had already discussed that surely the trees are ripe for harvest. (John 4:35)

According to the parable of the weeds in the field, in Matthew 13:37-43, the field represents the world which is made up of good seed and also bad seed. The good seed stands for the people of God’s Kingdom. The bad seed or weeds are people of the evil one and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.

The Holy Spirit guided me to reflect on that remarkable biblical story about the first two children born to Adam and Eve named Cain and Abel.

Now Cain said to his brother Abel, "Let's go out to the field (the world).  While they were in the field, Cain (who represents evil) attacked his brother Abel (who represents good) and killed him."  Gen. 4:8

Also, according to 1st Corinthians 3:9, our present world which is our abode, also represents the field.  Our memory verse, John 4:35 is the epilogue of Jesus' rendezvous with the woman at the well (an ill reputed woman).  By engaging her in conversation, Jesus laid the foundation for her to receive salvation and eternal life.  The woman returned to her home and took that foundation back and proclaimed it in her home town (the field).

Now, Jesus is further instructing his disciples and us to build on that foundation, too, by opening our eyes and looking at the fields to see that they are ripe for harvest! 

SPECIAL NOTATION AND AN APOLOGY TO MY READERS 
Last week, at this point in composing this blog post, MY COMPUTER WAS HACKED!!!  WARNING BELLS WENT OFF AND LOUD UNFAMILIAR SOUNDS WERE COMING OUT OF MY COMPUTER!  MY COMPUTER WAS SHUT DOWN.  MY COMPUTER HAS BEEN IN THE HOSPITAL (BEST BUY) EVERY SINCE.

I am actually writing this week’s blog on Tuesday, September 24, 2025, rather than on a Friday. But, the big coincidence is that the content for this blog was actually presented to a writing class I attended on the same exact date on September 24, 2004, twenty-five years ago.

At first, I thought this remarkable concurrence of having ‘similar dates‘ had no apparent or causal connection. But in spite of my desires to continue the flow of blogging, my mind was screaming STOP! IN THE NAME OF LOVE BEFORE YOU BREAK MY HEART (**). And guess what I did…I STOPPED!

…..”MY 2004 ESCAPADES(***)” Presented to My Writers Class Sept. 24, 2004….

I am sitting at my desk, twirling my thumbs Wondering where the words will come from Although time has flown by, it has been two and a half months Since attending my writers class and I have missed you all a bunch As you can imagine, I am truly excited and anxious to rejoin you And to share some of the adventurous 2004 mission duties we performed So I’ll begin by giving you a bird’s eye view of my mission assignments Throughout the continent of South Africa and especially the city of Zambia. I went on a mourning Safari and saw up close wild elephants and giraffes And the entire team of 28 missionaries visited hospitals, schools, and the staff We connected with the villagers by providing food and supplies Surprisingly, the villagers reciprocated by issuing to us home made trinkets Well, the Fall season is upon us And the year 2004 is coming to an end But already I’m planning my vacation days For the upcoming 2005 New Year Hopefully, this time next year I will be in Barcelona, Spain Sailing on an 8-day cruise to the Mediterranean and back again We will visit 6 exciting ports of call that includes the cities of Rome, Nice, Florence and the Tower of Pisa But, who knows, somebody may be interested to hear just how much my grands enjoyed their 2004 voyage on the Potomac River while vacationers in Washington, DC’s Rubber Ducky(****). So, as you can see, I do love to travel And visit while exploring places near and afar But I want this writing class to know how much I’ve missed you all Especially our illustrious teacher, Mr Frank Duval And I hope that your summer, too, has been Full of exciting things to do that have given you great joy. The picture below is a similar type of an amphibious mode of transportation. The picture is not a picture of Washington, DC. This type of transportation can transport passengers on land and in the sea. SPECIAL NOTE (*) The Holy Spirit impressed upon me to change the title of my September 24, 2004 blog from “My 2004 Escapades” to “God And An Adventurous Traveler..Me” WHY? I believe these instructions were given to me because ‘Escapades‘ denotes empowering someone with remarkable coincidences that may lead to supernatural, occult, or paranormal claims. Such claims do not coincide with Christianity. NOTE: (*) “The author of this Blog.” NOTE: (**) “Stop In The Name Of Love” recorded by The Supremes. NOTE: (***) “Escapades” was replaced with “Adventurous” per the Holy Spirit. NOTE: (****) “Similar transportation to Washington, DC’s Rubber Ducky.”

First, I recognized that the inner voice communicating with me was the Holy Spirit. He convicted me that I had not prayed prior to starting this blog, although it is a reprint. Nevertheless, a sincere prayer for forgiveness was in order. I whole heartedly agreed, I complied, and now we can continue.

My Prayer for you: Dear Holy Spirit, my Heavenly Dove, I beseech Thee on behalf of all who read this blog to come to the saving knowledge that You and You alone are our sole Teacher. And it is our pleasure to spend some time with You in order to be enlightened. Thank you that You see to it that the words of our mouths and the meditation of our hearts be acceptable in thy sight. My strength and my redeemer. Amen and Amen!

Scripture Lesson: Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak; and let the earth hear the words of my mouth. May my teaching drop as the rain, my speech distil as the dew; as the gentle rain upon the tender grass, and as the showers upon the herb. For I will proclaim the name of the Lord. Ascribe greatness to our God! Deuteronomy 32:1-3

This week, I realized so very vividly, that the most influential people in my adult life have been my educational instructors I met during my biblical pursuits. I also discovered that most of the well preserved books in my bookcase were mostly biographies on biblical characters, numerous bible translations and a variety of those yellow and black books on subjects for ‘Dummies’.

But what caught my eye and peaked my curiosity was a file copy of an assignment I completed at the Covenant Training Institute, dated December 5, 2006, entitled “Fearless Communication – Twelve Common Struggles/Conflicts of the Heart“

My professor, who was very innovative, was aware that most of the students in my classes were preparing to become future international missionaries and Mrs. Scarborough, my favorite teacher, had prepared a series of 12 questions for us students to prayerfully confront ourselves with. And I am not ashamed to confess to you, I approached this line of imposing on my inner most thoughts with fear and great trepidation. May I remind you that this assignment was just one of three Mrs. “S” had drummed up for the class.

Take a look at the teacher’s imposing inquiries and let me know how you fare.
