History does repeat itself and there is nothing new under the sun.
Each generation has had to battle darts and arrows fired off at them by the ruler of this world which scriptures declare that one as Satan. The Lord has given to His people the power of the Holy Spirit and the full armor of God. We are to put that armor on and stand in the wicked day.
Which bring us to the Biblical Psalms (songs) which most were written by King David.
The Psalms are praises to the Lord God that he sang out to glorify God, call out for mercy and proclaim the Majesty of the Lord. There are Psalms in remembrance of His great love and mercy for His children. The Psalms were written with deep conviction, love, repentance and truths. For in the flesh we have all sinned and come short of the Glory of God, but God has given to all of His children, his great love everlasting.
Psalms 51:1-2 “Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.”
As children of the Lord, and as always…God searches the heart of His children. God chastises those he loves. The same as a loving father corrects his children of the way to go that is right and good. There are many scriptures that speak of having a heart of David. We are not judged by how many times we have sinned as though we had a few chances and then we are kicked out of the presence of the Lord. That is not how God does his children and anyone who says such things is speaking through the mouth of the devil who is our accuser.
Psalms 139:1-8, “O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. 3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. 4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether. 5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. 7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? 8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.”
What we strive for is to keep our eyes on God and to do his will in our lives, not perfection, for in the flesh we are not capable of that. If we were, there would have been no need to send His only begotten Son to die for us. Amen.
Which lead us to the days of Elijah… which the song that tells of it is a powerful song and it reminds us of the days we are in.
Let us look at what took place in the days of Elijah…
In 1Kings Chapter 16, we learn that Ahaab becomes King of Israel and built an altar in the temple of Baal and worship there. In 1Kings Chapter 17, Elijah is sent by God to warn King Ahab that God will send a drought that will last for several years, as punishment for worshiping Baal. Then after God tells Elijah to go out from there and hide near the brook Cherith, where the ravens would feed him.
1Kings 17: 5-6, “5 So he went and did according unto the word of the Lord: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. 6 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.”
Now we see that Elijah was obedient to God and God provided for him in ways man would have never thought could be done. And Elijah had faith that God was leading him and obeyed and did what he was told. He did not question God’s Words… nor argue of how or ask for proof that if he went to the brook of Cherith that it would be done. He merely obeyed and did what God said for him to do. After a while the brook dried up for lack of rain and God then instructed Elijah to go to a widow in Sidon. You see God knows where to send His children and who needs also the one He is sending, for she was a poor widow with barely enough grain and oil to feed her and her son, but took Elijah in.
Elijah asked the widow for a little bread and she let Elijah know she didn’t have but a handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil.
1Kings 17:12 – 16 “12 And she said, As the Lord thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die. 13 And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son. 14 For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the Lord sendeth rain upon the earth. 15 And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days. 16 And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by Elijah.”
Now the widow could have scoffed at Elijah and called him mad in the head. But, instead she chose to do as Elijah had said… in faith, and found meal and oil enough to bake the loaf and made it and took it to Elijah.
Now more events took place and the widows son died, and Elijah took the son, placed him upon his bed and prayed to God to return his soul that he might live and God did so and the son was brought back from the dead and the widow knew this was an act of God.
1Kings 17:24, “And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in thy mouth is truth.”
After this God instructed Elijah to return to King Ahaab and he obeyed, He meets the prophet Obadiah on the way, who he tells he is going to appear before King Ahab. Obadiah tells King Ahab about Elijah, and King Ahab prepares for the meeting. At this meeting Elijah challenges King Ahab and Baal’s prophets to show the people who the real god is. On top of Mount Carmel the people all recognize the true God after Baal’s prophets fail to light the fire and the Lord sends down fire from heaven and destroys the sacrificial bull of the priests of Baal….and Elijah orders the people to execute the prophets of Baal at Brook Kishon. – 1 Kings 18:40 and then in the following verses Elijah asks God to bring heavy rains and it rains. But, this is just the climax… for this is all leading up to Jezebel sending out her armies after one lone prophet named Elijah. Who is NOT ALONE at all… he is WITH GOD!
1Kings 18: 45-46, “And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel. 46 And the hand of the Lord was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.
When Ahab reached Jezreel he told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had all the prophets slain with the sword. Outraged, Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.” 1Kings 19:2. Which Elijah obviously took in that fiery dart of the devil, for he then went into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and prayed for God to take him now, that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.
But God sent an angel to Elijah who touched him, and said to him, Arise and eat. And when Elijah looked, he saw a cake baked on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he ate and drank. Then he laid down again and the angel of the Lord came a second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee.
So when you find yourself stressed out, feeling weak and tempted of the devil to give up… and under that Juniper Tree… remember…you are NOT ALONE. GOD IS WITH YOU!
Elijah ate and drank and went forty days and forty nights to Horeb the mount of God. These were the same number of days our Lord Jesus was tempted in the wilderness.
It is important to note here that Mount Horeb and Mount Sinai was the same place. It is the same Mount where God gave Moses the ten commandments and the laws for His people. So God brought Elijah to that same Mount and spoke to him there.
As the story of Elijah continues we find that Elijah then came to a cave and went into it and lodged there; and the scriptures tell us, behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah? And Elijah answered, “I have been very jealous for the Lord God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.”
The Word of the Lord told Elijah to Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord. Which was Mount Horeb the same as Mount Sinai. Elijah did so and the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake: And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
13 And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?
Elijah answered in the same manner he did the Word of the Lord and God spoke to him. (So we see the Word of the Lord and God are two, and these two are one. Our Lord is the Word of the Lord… just as it is written in John 1:1 ““In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God”. And through our faith in Jesus, we are made one with the Father, just as the Lord has told us. Within us is the Holy Spirit and the Word of the Lord… we are one with the Father and never alone.
John 14:17-21
17Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 18I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 19Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. 20At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. 21He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
John 15:4-5
“4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.“
We continue to read 1Kings and find in the chapters that God prophesied to Elijah King Ahab’s death and tells Elijah to deliver the prophecy to the king, and he tells him of the death of Jezebel to be devoured by dogs by the wall of Jezreel and the victory ending the reign of Jezebel and her wicked priests of Baal. The victory belongs to God for it is God that sees it all through for Elijah. Through his faith and obedience to God, he was never alone.
In 2Kings Chapter 2, God took up Elijah into the heavens in a firy chariot… and Elijah passed on his mantel to Elisha.
The most important part in the hand of God’s protection over Elijah…and one that is not often stressed is that to show who is MOST POWERFUL GOD NEVER ALLOWED ELIJAH TO DIE AN EARTHLY DEATH!
Instead, God took him up into the heaven’s in a BLAZE OF GLORY, astounding all who beheld that moment. Amen.
Which bring us to these very days we are in where the righteous in God struggle with attack after attack after attack. Where the enemy shouts lies, and bears false witness against those who God has set forth to stand up for His people. We are watching the same evil as in the days of Elijah. We are to declare the word of the Lord, and come out from the evil in the World of Babylon the Great. For we are in it but not of it. For the devil never gives up, he repeats the same patterns and regardless of the times, he sticks to his wicked playbook.
In the days of Nebuchadnezzar the Word of the Lord was also with those who went into captivity. They too were never alone.
Today, these are yet the days of great trial, of famine (of God’s Truth and of substance), and darkness (evil doers of great wickedness) and sword.
The world corruption is much greater and vast than just who is elected president in the US or any other nation. This is about taking down corruption within our nation and all nations. All the systems have been infiltrated by doers of great evil that desire to destroy God’s children. This is Babylon the Great’s beast kingdom infiltrating and rising, but it shall fall just as God’s prophets have written that it shall in the Word of God.
It is playing out before our eyes with all the drama of the days of old. We are the generation that John spoke of in Revelation that would be alive when the Beast’s Kingdom falls. We are of that remnant. So stand strong and be God’s voice for Truth!
Still there is a remnant with a strong voice in the desert crying out to “PREPARE YE THE WAY OF THE LORD”.
These are the days of Elijah
Declaring the word of the Lord
And these are the days of Your servant Moses
Righteousness being restored
And though these are days of great trial
Of famine and darkness and sword
Still, we are the voice in the desert crying
‘Prepare ye the way of the Lord!’
KEEP ON PRESSING INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. PRESS, PRESS, PRESS!

Dianne you are a blessing and I am so glad God led me to you. I was always told by relatives that I was a happy, curious child, questioning everything. My mother was a Sunday School teacher and I remember when I would awake in the wee hours of the morning, crying because I was afraid of dying, she would tell me wonderful stories of Jesus and heaven to still my fears and bring me peace. If I awaken during the witching hours (yes, I am of Celtic ancestry…the Rose Clan of Scotland), it is Jesus name I invoke to clear my mind and heart and soul, so that I can find peaceful sleep. I love the song Days of Elijah and believe we are just waiting on the Lord to clear the tares from the wheat so that we can prepare for His Kingdom come. Thank you Dianne for the daily inspiration and strength your blog provides. May you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and friends. May we all thank the Lord for all of his blessings this Thanksgiving. Amen.
Amen!
Thank you Dianne. Jesus’ blessing is all over you. May He continue fill you with all wisdom, knowledge and understanding.

♥️🇺🇸🦅🙏🏻
For the past 3 days I have felt tired, attacked by Satan, heart broken and I’ve felt defeated. I have felt like giving up and shutting my mouth about speaking the truth. I’m still not feeling myself, but reading your words coupled with God’s words they have begun to sooth my soul. Thank you.
Same here.
Holidays can be the most depressing — it’s a fact
Family isn’t always there for some of us and we seek cousins, friends or be alone
That tiredness, heartbroken 💔 feeling is contagious because I have it too
my favorite pet ever in my life just died and I can’t shake sadness.
We all need to count our blessings and get out of ourselves
I do agree Diane has a special gift to uplift the human spirit and she shares her wealth of knowledge
to enrich each person here. Something sparks for each person and it is always positive— to learn more
and be better, more spiritual and that is a GIFT from GOD.
Thank you Diane because I have become wiser in Bible reading and studies because of your guidance
and inspiration. You make me and others want to know more.{
How Sad, Pets are so dear to us they help us cope and are always there when no one else is. SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS SHEILA🥰💗🐶here is some Loving Licks from my Beagle Autumn to help! You are Right the Holidays are starting and they get more depressing every year. Our bodies are in tune to what is happening around us even though we think we forgot. Sheila put on some soothing music, music that lights your soul on fire give your body a spark of Hope, Light! I guess I should take my own advise! 😂🤣🎺🤷🏻♀️🔥🤪💐🌹✨🎼🪕🪇🪗🎸🧸💞
it’s not me. It is the Lord saying… now tell them this. And that is what it is. Amen.
Amen Dianne! God Keep Dianne Safe and her family also as she continues to bring us your Words and understanding what is taking place. Amen
Read the word. Specifically the book of Psalms. Read it aloud. Just start at the beginning and read it through.
AMEN!!!!!! You bring me to tears! Or shall I say God our Lord, the Word does. It is 3:30am and I can’t sleep. I am disturbed from my sleep and all I can think of is God and so I am praying in the dark thinking of things and reading The Marshall Report and here is my help in the words of God that Dianne has printed, so the tears are flowing for Gods words are truth and I needed them and the peace. Thank you Dianne and mostly Thank you Lord. Amen🇺🇸🎺🙏🏻🔥👵🏻💗
I see the high energies are affecting you as well. I believe we are all ready for God to intervene in this world and exercise His judgement on all. We will be OK. All will be well. God bless you.🙏❤️
Thank you so Much. We All Need Each Other in these times. I am not good at saying or putting out there what is in my heart. Things come out sometimes not right or to harsh. I keep telling myself quit posting. The only thing I can say is God brings out the overwhelming caring in me and I can’t sit back and say nothing so I get myself into trouble Good or Bad. I Send my Love to Everyone, I Feel these words come from deep inside me, A Message and Blessing to Each and a Thanksgiving to the Lord🙏🏻Amen (where did that last sentence come from)😳🤷🏻♀️👵🏻💗🥰🙏🏻🇺🇸
I know what you are going through— my mom used to say 3-3:30 am is the witching hour and the
closest time we are to death 💀— I don’t know how true this is — it is Celtic beliefs
Does anyone have information on this or were you told similar?
I too immediately turn to God — especially that hour — sleep can come easy at 4 am
God calms my heart and mind when I ask HIM. God hasn’t let me down — HE saved me more than once
or it was angels he sent. I lived right next door to the Church and I felt someone always watching
and the Holy Spirit never abandons anyone who really wants Him.
I don’t know about the Celtic Beliefs but I was able to go back to sleep and slept really well, like my body found some peace. God knows what you need. I believe that also. I had talks as a little girl and older. I will tell a funny story but true. My Grandmother was my friend always when very little, you know like we had “Talks” she died when I was 9 I remember everything and was so distraught, everyone was going through her things it was horrible to see. While they were doing that I was in my own little world, I was not able to say goodbye to her and I was so in a panic which I hid from everyone they wouldn’t understand. I stood by her sewing machine and tried desperately to draw her face so I would remember her, I had a pile of discarded drawings none that would remind me of what she looked like. Being little I didn’t know if I would remember what she looked like. There was no one that would understand. All of a sudden a voice came to me and said you will remember her because her face looks just like Malt O’Meal the hot cereal! I was shocked then looked up and said Thank you, thank you! It is true her face looked that color and had the dark specks on it too! I have not forgotten that all my life. Mom came and got me and said wouldn’t you like a piece of her jewelry? I said no, but she insisted and so I went with her there everyone was picking out the best of the best and so I dug and I took one thing just a cotton string, strung up with black square beads with painted gold Stars on each one! Mom said don’t you want something better nicer and I said no again. The string has broke but I have the Star beads and I remember her because God was with me and I knew he would never leave me either! He has been with me ever since. There are more stories. God Knows Everything!
Does anyone remember the movie “the littlest Angel”? For Jesus’s birthday, I always wondered what I would give to him who could have everything or has everything, telling my story above I think it would be one of those beads as it was the very first time I felt God was with me. Amen
That story is so heartfelt, touching and filled with emotion. God bless you.
Thank you! God has blessed me so much. Your a Blessing to me and others Dianne. My dad once asked me how do I remember so much? He was hoping I would never forget him like how I remember grandma, his mom and I said, “I don’t know”. But now I do, God has made my mind in such a way and growing up also through my married life going through very troubling times I had said, “ there must be something that is going to happen and God is building me up so I can be strong not in body but in mind. This is the time he has been preparing me for, I feel it, I am just now understanding, I think he knew I was going to need to be mentally strong. This is All Gods doing to help me and others, I want to help if I can and he showed me you and what I consider my family and friends here. If someone is in need of prayers please let me know, I am up a lot lately working on them it seems. We Need Prayer Warriors. Smile✨🙏🏻👵🏻🥰🔥I have been wondering what my special gift is from God and I am just beginning to see what it is. I hope this is ok to talk about all this, the words just keep coming! 😳
Amen, amen, amen!!! TY, Dianne for these words from our LORD. For the exhortation, the encouragement & the blessings from it. These are truly the days of Elijah & we are the army that God has raised up from the dry, lifeless bones. He has already won the battle; we must stand strong in that, knowing that He told us long ago that He would win, therefore we win! The evil ones will soon be destroyed & gone. Christ will return to reclaim His earth & rule/reign for 1000 yrs of righteousness, peace, truth, justice & you. The world will talk of God daily & praise Him for all He’s done. And we will live as long as trees TY, Heavenly Father! Come, Lord Jesus, come! Thy kingdom come, thy will be done in earth as it is heaven…is coming to pass & we’ve been chosen to witness it.
Sorry – typo. Joy, not you.
Hi Dianne, Thank You for the encouragement!
If I may,…The “L” is missing from “ELIJAH” in the Report Heading, and “fiery” is missing the “e”. It may have been on purpose, but just thought I’d drop a small critique, respectfully.
It’s hard waiting sometimes for the next report, but patience is good!!
Thank you. I fixed them. Smile.
By far the very best writing that I have read from you! On time and a great reminder to me. “The joy of the Lord is our strength!” ❤️
Not sure when you found this Report or where you started reading, but there are so many PREVIOUS Reports that quietly challenge your sincere remark.
If you feel anything like I have since I found this a few years ago, then you are a happy camper. It was seriously so astounding to find sincere truth outside the Bible, after watching and reading and hearing all the white noise of the ORCS of Mordor Media Machine, that I read in disbelieving anticipation for awhile that it could really be someone sincere, unbiased, and not a moneymonger. All I know is the name Dianne Marshall, and wonder sometimes if she is not Elvinkind and ancient like Galadrial of Lothlorien who don’t age…lol!
It’s a Treasure no doubt!
Very Much A Treasure!
I have come to the understanding that Dianne Marshall is placed here at this time also for such a time as this. She is a voice for us – her readers – to teach us, encourage us and remind us of the promises of our Heavenly Father. I feel blessed to have found this little community of like minded people and very grateful that Dianne is generous with the knowledge she is so willing to share.
I Agree Watson! 😁🥰
It was more of a very strong spiritual, personal, Ruach feeling that I felt while reading it. It was timely. Take no offense. I read her writings often. This one was just a very personal moving in my spirit. ❤️ 💜
Wonderful encouraging words, Dianne! Thank you for always bringing us back into the Word of God that lifts us up in these modern days of Elijah. And for that promise from Jesus that you quoted above in John 15 where He says … “without me ye can do nothing”
Reminded me of the words Paul wrote in his second letter to the Corinthians:
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. — (2 Corinthians 6, vs 14 and vs 17-18)
John832
Amen!~
Amen!
Preach it Sister 🎼🎶🎹🥢🌈💕❤️🎊

Hi Dianne! Once again another beautifully profound writing! I just love how the power of the Scripture here, reveals the victory of God and His people as the final outcome of this war. Thank you for reminding your readers of this triumph! Keep on writing!
God bless you and keep you!
