Kevin Shields Quotes

I've often been flabbergasted by modern pharmaceutical ads on television. The list of side effects for some maladies often sound worse than the condition they're supposed to treat. Once I even heard "heart failure" listed as a side effect, and I wondered how that happened. Heart failure sounds like a pretty major event to me, and if you're willing to risk heart failure in order to avoid the mild discomfort of some other condition, then may the gods shield you from harm, since you're obviously seeking it out.

The subconscious mind is shielding or showing numerous potential paths, based on what it determines would represent a consistent reality for you.

We aren't really having this conversation," Neil said. Nicky clapped his hands to either side of Neil's head as if trying to shield Neil from their argument. It didn't really work, as he missed Neil's ears completely. "You worry about Neil's career. I'll worry about his personal happiness. Come on, Kevin. Even you have to admit this is really weird." Andrew threw his hands up. "Newsflash, Nicky: Neil isn't normal!" "This is beyond abnormal." "I am standing right here," Neil said, "and I can hear you.

Do you think that the people on reality T.V. shows are kind of good actors? I mean they would have to be! You can't ignore all the cameras and, you know, the whole situation of being on a reality show... But here is what I'm wondering. Do you think that they think of themselves as actors? Or do you think that they are living their lives behind an impenetrable shield? Like their entire approach to life is the same as an actor's approach to a performance? So when they had to act natural in an unnatural situation it was sort of no big deal.

God has a wonderful plan for your life - a plan that will take you through trial and triumph as you are transformed into the image of His Son (Romans 8:28-29). Of this we can be absolutely confident. But God's normal way of operation is not to show this plan to us ahead of time - in retrospect, maybe; in advance. rarely. Are you feeling directionally challenged by this? Don't despair. God promises to be your sun and your shield and to carry you and protect with His strong right arm. So we can stop pleading with God to show us the future, and start living and obeying like we are confident that He holds the future.

As I grow older, I understand that it’s my battle. No one is a friend. No one is a rescuer. Trust is just a word. Greed is the deceiver. Lust is the shield of hypocrites. Anger is far more destructive than weapons of mass destruction. I am my own hero and God is my savior.

A PROCESSION OF ANGELS Then I saw a powerful angel walk up to Jesus. The Lord spoke to this angel, although I did not understand the words that passed back and forth between them. However, I did understand that this angel had been working in Tanzania and had been on an important assignment. I really do not understand how I knew what was transpiring. I just had a supernatural revelation of what was taking place as the Lord stood over me and gave instruction to the angel. Perhaps just being so close to the Lord allowed me to have some understanding of the things that were unfolding before me in the spirit. Shortly, I saw this angel “ascend” upon Jesus. I knew that this angel was returning into the realms of Heaven, and that the assignment that it had been on had now been completed. I was astonished to see the angel ascend into the heavens “on” Jesus. It was very similar to the night in Springdale when I saw Jesus ascend back through the open heaven spinning in the sanctuary in Living Waters Church. (See John 1:51.) The Lord looked at me and gave me a big smile. He began to speak to me again, just as a loving friend would to a small child. In just a moment or two, He was again interrupted by a second strong angel. This time the angel descended from the realms of Heaven upon Jesus and stepped onto the beach. Once again the Lord and the angel began to speak, though again I was unable to understand the language that they spoke. I could see this second angel was powerful and very strong. He carried himself in the manner of a warrior, and there was a large sword in his right hand. He also had a large, polished, shiny golden shield in his left hand. Upon his belt were other weapons, including an ornate buckler and a smaller type of sword. As I was looking, I suddenly saw Jesus pat the angel upon his powerful shoulder and point with His right hand. Immediately, the angel turned in military fashion and ran off in the direction that the Lord had indicated. I was astonished, but I was also absolutely certain that Jesus had just commissioned the strong second angel to an important mission in the nation of Tanzania. Then Jesus turned His loving gaze back upon me as I lay on the beach. The waters were still billowing around me. The Lord again began to speak to me and told me that it was important that I began to study and learn to understand about the “seer anointing.” At that moment, I did not have any knowledge of the seer anointing, so I was a little concerned about my ignorance. As if sensing I was uncomfortable, the Lord smiled and gently began to speak with me about the seer prophets of old. This encounter with the Lord continued from about 4:15 A.M. until about 6:30 A.M. in the natural. However, in the realm of the spirit, it seemed to last for many more hours. The Lord continued to speak to me in great detail about the seer gift or anointing. I could determine the passage of time because the sun shifted its position over the sea of glass-like crystal as He continued to speak. The other reason I was aware of time passing was that there began to be a steady stream of angels ascending and descending upon the Lord Jesus Christ. ANGELS ON MISSIONS This procession of angels was quite impressive. After the first few, I began to relax. I had been

apologize, he turned back to Meg to find tears glistening in her eyes. Her gloved hands had formed fists and she was shaking. Wanting to shield her from further pain, he reached for her. But she stepped back before his hands could cover hers. “You don’t have to do this alone,” Lucas said in a low voice. He didn’t care how many people were watching them, or that the cameras, and camera phones, might still be rolling, for all he knew. He needed Meg to know how he felt about her—that he loved her, heart and soul. But before he could, she said, “Mother, we should speak in private so that I can better explain the situation,” and headed toward the exit. Before she left the room, however, Meg took the ring off her finger and set it on the edge

No thanks,” he said, walking away from her, nodding his head to a beat that Camille couldn’t hear. A family of five walked past Camille and she offered them a sheaf of coupons. “Free chicken sandwiches for everyone,” she shouted, her face strained from smiling so much. “We don’t eat meat,” the mother said, shielding her children from the coupons. “Oh, for crying out loud,” Camille said. She’d been standing here for thirty minutes and she’d only managed to hand out twelve coupons.

Layne took him to Monteigne, a stunning Italianate mansion on twenty-three acres. The owner, Mary Louise Shields, a steel magnolia who lived to be 109, showed Kevin Kline a quilt and said, “Now this belonged to Scarlett O’Hara.” Layne is no stickler for factual accuracy, but this was too much for him. He said, “Honey, she’s a fictional character.” Miss Mary Louise said, “We do believe that to be true.” Layne lost his temper. “She’s from a fucking movie!” She said, “Honey, if you’re not enjoying the tour, why don’t you step off the back porch?

For all of us it means putting aside our insatiable desire to have every aspect of our lives, or even the most important aspects of our lives, nailed down before our eyes before we get there. God has a wonderful plan for your life—a plan that will take you through trial and triumph as you are transformed into the image of His Son (Romans 8:28-29). Of this we can be absolutely confident. But God’s normal way of operation is not to show this plan ahead of time—in retrospect, maybe; in advance, rarely. Are you feeling directionally challenged by this? Don’t despair. God promises to be your sun and your shield and to carry you and protect with His strong right arm. So we can stop pleading with God to show us the future, and start living and obeying like we are confident that He holds the future.
