Hosea 10:12 (NIV) -

How to prepare your heart for revival Part 4/4
Examining your own heart Hosea 12:10
Break up the fallow ground;
Breaking- humble yourself before the Lord.
Confess that your heart has become hard, fallow, and shallow.
Acknowledge it is your own responsibility to break up the fallow ground.
Ask for his help and guidance in the breaking – the Holy Spirit will assist us.
Confess all known sin-all the usual suspects- found in the Ten Commandments
Include unforgiveness, bitterness, grudges, and resentment- then forsake them.
Examine your heart...
Examine your heart for unbelief.
Examine your heart for prayerlessness.
A sinning man stops praying, a praying man stops sinning [1].
Examine your heart for the lost.
Examine the priorities of your heart.
Is your first priority in the material world?
Is your first priority in human relationships?
Is your first real priority to get money, power, or possessions?
Is your heart, seeking first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness knowing that all these things shall be added unto you?
What are you living for? Who are you living for?
Next, deal also with the questionable things in your life. It might not be outright sin, but does it glorify God?
Examine your friendships and associations –do they please God?
Develop convictions to protect yourself from falling into sin.
Convictions help integrate our hearts (inward) with our actions (outward)
Job made a covenant with his eyes [2]......
For it is time to seek the Lord;
Seeking – the time to seek God is now –the time to seek his face is now- the time to seek his face in faith is now- believing he wants you to find him now.
It is God’s will for you to find him- when you seek him with all your heart.
Til he comes and rains righteousness on you, Persisting- how long O Lord?
Persist until he comes – he will certainly come if we persist.
If we focus on the persisting –He will focus on his coming-
Yes, the very presence of the living God will come down on you- History testifies to this in the Lewis revival.
Prepare ye the way of the Lord in your own heart- remove every obstacle – and bring the presence of the living God in a new way into your heart.
God wants to do a new thing in your heart today.
Raining-Until the Spirit is poured on us from on high [3]
And the wilderness becomes a fruitful field.
And the fruitful field is counted as a forest.
God wants your heart to be an orchard.
God promised to pour out his Spirit on the dry and thirsty ground[4]
He promised that the crocus and the rose would bloom in the desert place.
Imagine fragrant flowers and sweet fruit trees in planted in the soil of your heart.
God desires to breathe in your fragrance.
God desires to taste the sweet fruit of your character.
Jeremiah says, ‘break up your fallow ground and do not sow amongst thorns.’
Conclusion
The reason we do not have revival is that we are willing to live without it. [5]
The alternative to revival is progressive decline into barrenness.
Sow for yourselves righteousness; Reap in mercy; Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the LORD, Till He comes and rains righteousness on you.
Let us bring the plough of God’s word into the fallow grounds of our hearts today asking God to empower the plough by his Holy Spirit and that he shows us exactly what needs to be removed.
Are you willing to break the fallow ground in your heart? are you willing to be made willing?
God is willing and God is able to help each one of us break up our own fallow ground.
Amen

Sow Seed However You Want To; But, If You Sow Wisely...
Have you ever sown seeds and watched them grow? I remember the bean we put into a jar in kindergarten. It was so cool to sow it properly and watch it come to life!! Well, think about what it means to Sow and Reap: Consider both the process and the outcome.
“Sow for yourselves righteousness; Reap in mercy; Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the Lord, Till He comes and rains…

How to prepare your heart for revival Part 3/4
Hosea 10:12 breaking up the fallow ground
Here is God’s solution for a backslidden and lukewarm church.
Sow for yourselves in righteousness –Sowing; –live right before God-
Believe and practice God’s word- let it dwell in your heart richly- Ask the Holy Spirit to water the seed of the word-Pray fervently-share the gospel.
Sow only good seeds Do only good deeds
Reap in mercy; Reaping; when we sowed in righteousness, we reaped a harvest of the Lord’s loving-kindness (chesed)
Our God is Chasidic-full of loving kindness.
Our God multiplies the righteous seed we have sown way beyond the measure we sowed.
Our first cycles of sowing and reaping produced a good harvest.
But something crept up on us- the sin crouching at the door?
Or the worries and cares of this life? The pursuit of wealth?
And now whatever has happened, the soil of our hearts has become fallow ground.
Examine your heart..........................take the Tozer [1] test.
The fallow heart is smug and cannot be taught much.
The fallow heart is self-contented.
The fallow heart is protected from the shock of the plow.
Some hearts have lain fallow year by year, safe and undisturbed.
The fallow heart focuses on past fruit.
The fallow heart has two signs on it; ‘Do not disturb’ and ‘Past-master.’
The fear of the plough means there can be no present fruit.
The spirit of adventure is dead.
The fallow heart is fenced in, and God is fenced out.
The fallow heart smiles indulgently at fastings, revivals, self searching and the need to move on in God.
The fallow soil has been hardened and can only support weeds, thorns, and thistles.
The very seeds sown by the world, the flesh, and the devil.
The soil of our hearts lies fallow to varying degrees-what state is your heart in tonight?
Examine your own heart... and take the Plough [2] test.
The ploughed heart practices confession and repentance
We need to keep short accounts with God and each other.
The ploughed heart has a sign ‘not safety first.’
The ploughed heart is discontent in God.
The ploughed heart is yearning and full of godly sorrow.
The ploughed heart is courageously obedient and ready to bear fruit.
Break up the fallow ground; Breaking- humble yourself before the Lord.
Confess that your heart has become hard, fallow, and shallow.
Acknowledge it is your own responsibility to break up the fallow ground.
Ask for his help and guidance in the breaking – the Holy Spirit will assist us.
Confess all known sin-all the usual suspects- found in the Ten Commandments
Include unforgiveness, bitterness, grudges, and resentment- then forsake them.
Amen
Prayer
[1] A.W. Tozer
[2] Michael Catt The power of surrender; breaking through to the ploughed life.
In Part 4 we continue to examine our own hearts and deal with our lives.

Age Gap
Van der linde gang x Fem!Reader
Dutch Van Der Linde
He def goes for younger girls
He looks like the type
You caught his eye with your outfits
Hes 44 but i feel like he wouldnt want a age gap over 10 years
If you got the courage to make the first move he would admire that about you
Definitely sweet talks you about being a smart girl
Lord the amount of praise this son of a bitch would give you could boost even arthur ego
Def a sugar daddy, before the events of black water
After he would try his best but he left most of his money behind in his old house
Arthur Morgan
He isnt that old but he def wouldnt go over 5 years
He finds it odd and repects his women too much
This is the man to go to if you want a sugar daddy
He will gladly spoil you with all the money he loots from dead O’driscols
He also gives out praise but thats just the man he is
If hes not complimenting you and how stunning you are 24/7 he feels like a awful person
He would so totally call you his “sweet baby” or “babydoll”
If you wear pink dresses he’d definitely be wrapped around your little finger
If not and your more of a streatwear person he’d loose his mind at low rise or cami tops
Again you’d have him wrapped around your finger immediately
John Marston
Hes definitely not old and would NOT go under 4 years😭
This guys only 26
Hes not a sugar daddy
Sorry babe
But he thinks your cute
He def likes girls with a attitude
Just look at abigal for christs sake
He was married to her😭
He would try to be good for you
Wanting to take you and run off into the sunset, but he couldnt leave dutch like that
Not after everything dutch had done for him
You would have to get along with jack to even be on johns radar (sorry🥲)
He wants you as soon as your motherly to jack
He talks to arthur about you
He calls you “sweet girl” and “doll” in that gravily voice
Hes incredible, really
Hosea Matthews
Okay well hes old😅
Def a sugar daddy
I mean have you seen him?
He goes for at least 10-12 years younger 😍
After bessie he really didnt think he’d fall in love again but when you came in twirling you hair and giggling he’d be a teenager all over again
You could ask him to shoot the man next to him for no reason and he’d do it
Hes quite literally wrapped around your finger
I say that because he would not leave you alone
Constantly holding you and treating you to gifts and fancy things
He once bought you a diamond necklace in saint denis
Whether you protested or not is up to you
He doesnt let you out of his sight and will not stop rambling to dutch about you
Dutch is too tired and crazy to deal with hosea and sends him your way to obsess over you😊
Sean MacGuire
The belief is hes mid 20’s so im gonna say 25
He definitely is like john and goes for 3 years younger
But i see him as the type to like older women cough cough mary cough
He likes the contrast of him being a stupid asshole and you being a sweet little thing
He trys his best with money but like john has very little so if he buys you something its usually something small
Though he never really feels accomplished after he gets you something small
So he saves for a long time and buys you something a little bigger like a silver necklace or a nice bracelet
His accent gets in the way of things sometimes but he will call you “sweet thing” though it sounds more like “sweet ting”😭
Love him though
Javier Escuella
Another baby of the gang🫶🫶
Hes 26 so he goes for the same range as john
He also doesnt have much money and buys you small things
But he makes it up by calling you endearing nick names
“Mi amor” “dulce nina” “Querida”
You get the point
“Ojalá pudiera comprarte más mi amor pero debes saber que esto es de mi corazón”
I love him sm
He would sugar daddy you if he could
Probably gets upset when he cant buy you things
If your family is rich he refuses your offers of giving him money
It doesnt feel right to have a sweet girl like you give him money when he should be the one providing
It gets him upset to see you want something he knows he cant afford
Has lowkey thought about robbing a very rich man cough cough braithwates cough to buy you things
When on the boat if you go with them he keeps an eye on you
Not liking the scene already, older predatory men being all around you made him extremely uncomfortable
He doesnt want to tell you what to do he always wants it to be your choice but it scares him that he cant really do anything to protect you
Though if it was dire enough he woukd throw the whole plan down the drain to cut open a older guy that got too power hungry and grabbed you
“No te lastimó, ¿verdad, querida?.”
Charles Smith
Hes not as young but doesnt go for under 5 years
Hes got some money to buy small things every now and again
He calls you “baby” and “little girl” alot no matter the age gap
It could only be a few months and he still would💔
He shows you how to hunt and stuff as bonding
He sees killing a deer together and bringing it back to pearson as romantic
But he still takes you on dates
When he can
Hes usually on watch duty as he is literally a unit of a man
This kid is huge
Around 6’6 and 240 pounds
Dwarfs even the biggest of guys, yes even arthur😭
Josiah Trelawny
Trelawny the man you are😍
Hes definitely rich
He has a house with his wife in saint denis
He is quite old so I imagine no more then 10 years difference
He calls you “darling” and “sweet girl” in that trans Atlantic accent
He definitely spoils you rotten
Only the best for his sweet girl
He takes a lot of time to take care of you as well
He doesnt spend time with the gang and only pops up when they need him for things like stealing from rich people
He never lets you pay
Are you kidding
He’d rather die then have you pay for something
Thats a little dramatic but i know he would never feel good about himself ever again if he got to a point where you had to pay
Like what do you mean he doesnt have enough money
No no darling put yours away papa trelawny will have a sweet little chat with the man trying to embarrass him infront of his woman
“YES I HAVE ENOUGH MONEY ARE YOU INSANE, no dear its okay you dont need to pay. BACK TO YOU DONT YOU EVER-“
Obviously there are ones i didnt put in here like micah, pearson, uncle, lenny ect. I dont know enough about them nor do i like most of them (except for lenny i love him sm)

Unbelievable! The Woman Who Believed in a Preposterous Message
Almost every Christmas pageant contains the Angel’s appearance to Mary. Luke’s narrative about Mary’s conversation with Gabriel described her reaction to some pretty unbelievable news. If you think about it, there is much to learn from Mary’s response to God’s messenger. (And BTW, the Greek word for angel is anggelos, or messenger—simply put, a courier who brings a message, or a word from someone…
