God is Speaking





There is a verse in ACTS that came to my heart as I began to write this. In ACTS 4:24-31 we read:

  When they heard this, they raised their voices together in prayer to God. “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “you made the heavens and the earth and the sea, and everything in them. You spoke by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of your servant, our father David:
   “‘Why do the nations rage
   and the peoples plot in vain?
 The kings of the earth rise up
   and the rulers band together
against the Lord
   and against his anointed one.
  
Indeed Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel in this city to conspire against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed. 28 They did what your power and will had decided beforehand should happen.
Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”
  After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly. 

This is such a short, but powerful  prayer. As the last days unfold, and the birth pains of war,disease,disaster and persecution  get closer and stronger, we must  always stop, and acknowledge  God and  The Sovereignty of The Lord!

The one thing that stood out to me on our recent trip to Joplin, was how everything we came across had prophetic significance. When I say prophetic significance, I mean that God was speaking through every situation.  Not only to us as a Mission Team, Not only to Joplin as a city, Not only to America as a nation, but to The Body of Christ in The World. 

I have learned to listen to The Lord as He speaks through things, not just His Word, although anything that He chooses to speak through will line up and  confirm His Word.  If we acknowledge The Lord in even the worst of situations, He will speak through that situation. He will bring His perspective and Power to it. And He will reach through us and perform signs and wonders in The Name of  Jesus.

Sometimes we say we are going to rise up as a church and do this or do that in these times. Sometimes we say we are going to go in and heal the sick and raise the dead. Sometimes we say we will stand against the onslaught of persecution and trouble. When all along, really we need to do what The Apostles did in these verse above. 

The Lord spoke to me very clearly in Joplin about preparation. Preparation of the heart and preparation of our focus. We certainly have to know who we are, and most importantly to whom we belong as children walking this earth. We saw in Joplin an army of Christians doing good work. We saw The Body of Christ answering the call to help in a time of need. And it was good.

However, The Lord was speaking about preparing, preparing for a different kind of outreach. He was pointing toward the fact that there are times coming where there will be no rebuilding of a lost city, only the salvation and restoration of the souls that survived. He was speaking to a time when the only way we will be able to reach those trapped in a fallen city, will be through miraculous signs and wonders.  He was speaking of a time when we will be lifting bodies and souls of men from the rubble, not to toss them in another pile next to the road, but to deliver to them the ministry of reconciliation which we have received.

Yes, of course He was showing us and teaching us how we can be a refuge and help in disaster, but, we do ourselves a great harm and those we are called to help, if we do not see the warnings He is giving us also.

There were two situations that made me angry in my spirit man in Joplin. I will not go into what, because again, just as in the verse above, these situations God ordained, and in doing so, spoke and confirmed what He was speaking all along during our time there. My natural man wanted to lash out at man, my soul wanted to pout a bit, but The Lord continued to speak to my spirit man, pointing at what He was trying to show us.

I will close with this. On the last site we worked, The Lord ordained that the home owner be a man that survived without a scratch, his yard was filled with every book on The Word,The Blood, The Spirit and Faith, that was ever written it seemed. On this same sight I met an evangelist, that when I met him my spirit leaped within me. On this same site the homeowner gave a testimony that gave witness to why we were there and The Goodness of The Lord, almost being interrupted by a complete misunderstanding of what The Lord was speaking to us, but that is okay,all ordained.

Prepare, Prepare,Prepare. Build yourself up with The Word and by Praying in Tongues much, as much as you can.  Read verses and declare them out loud that speak of The Power, Sovereignty and Authority of God! The earth is The Lords and The fullness thereof!! Jesus has been given all authority in Heaven and in Earth! We have been given authority by Him to trample over demons and devils. As we go forth we will heal the sick, raise the dead, take up serpents, and nothing by any means will harm us. And in the days to come we will speak The WORD of God boldly and He will reach through us and perform signs and wonders in His Name!!! That is the key, all that we will be called and commissioned to do in these last days, will always, must always be done while we acknowledge that they are only done by His Name, in The Authority of His Name and by Faith in His Name.

Pray for Our Nation!

Joel 3

God Judges the Nations
 1 “For behold, in those days and at that time,
      When I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem,
       2 I will also gather all nations,
      And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat;
      And I will enter into judgment with them there
      On account of My people, My heritage Israel,
      Whom they have scattered among the nations;
      They have also divided up My land.
       3 They have cast lots for My people,
      Have given a boy as payment for a harlot,
      And sold a girl for wine, that they may drink.
       4 “ Indeed, what have you to do with Me,
      O Tyre and Sidon, and all the coasts of Philistia?
      Will you retaliate against Me?
      But if you retaliate against Me,
      Swiftly and speedily I will return your retaliation upon your own head;
       (Joel 3:1-4, New King James Version)

Pray for Jerusalem

Psalm 122 (New Living Translation)

Psalm 122

A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. A psalm of David.
 1 I was glad when they said to me,
      “Let us go to the house of the Lord.”
 2 And now here we are,
      standing inside your gates, O Jerusalem.
 3 Jerusalem is a well-built city;
      its seamless walls cannot be breached.
 4 All the tribes of Israel—the Lord’s people—
      make their pilgrimage here.
   They come to give thanks to the name of the Lord,
      as the law requires of Israel.
 5 Here stand the thrones where judgment is given,
      the thrones of the dynasty of David.
 6 Pray for peace in Jerusalem.
      May all who love this city prosper.
 7 O Jerusalem, may there be peace within your walls
      and prosperity in your palaces.
 8 For the sake of my family and friends, I will say,
      “May you have peace.”
 9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
      I will seek what is best for you, O Jerusalem.

Luke 9:1-2 (Amplified Bible)

THEN JESUS called together the Twelve [apostles] and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases,
And He sent them out to announce and preach the kingdom of God and to bring healing.



Acts 10:36-38 (New King James Version)


The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all—  that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached:  how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.




Mark 5:1-15 (New King James Version)


 Then they came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarenes And when He had come out of the boat, immediately there met Him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no one could bind him,not even with chains,because he had often been bound with shackles and chains. And the chains had been pulled apart by him, and the shackles broken in pieces; neither could anyone tame him. And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones.


When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped Him.And he cried out with a loud voice and said, “What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God that You do not torment me.”


For He said to him, “Come out of the man, unclean spirit!”Then He asked him, “What is your name?”


And he answered, saying, “My name is Legion; for we are many.”Also he begged Him earnestly that He would not send them out of the country.


Now a large herd of swine was feeding there near the mountains.So all the demons begged Him, saying, “Send us to the swine, that we may enter them.” And at once Jesus[c] gave them permission. Then the unclean spirits went out and entered the swine (there were about two thousand); and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the sea, and drowned in the sea.


 So those who fed the swine fled, and they told it in the city and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that had happened.Then they came to Jesus, and saw the one who had been demon-possessed and had the legion, sitting and clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid.
 
 
 
John 11:17-44 (New King James Version)




So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days.Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles away.And many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.


Now Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met Him, but Mary was sitting in the house. Now Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.But even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You.”


Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”


Martha said to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”


Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”


 She said to Him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”



And when she had said these things, she went her way and secretly called Mary her sister, saying, “The Teacher has come and is calling for you.”As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly and came to Him. Now Jesus had not yet come into the town, but was in the place where Martha met Him. Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and comforting her, when they saw that Mary rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”[c]


Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, and saw Him, she fell down at His feet, saying to Him, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.”


Therefore, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled. And He said, “Where have you laid him?”


They said to Him, “Lord, come and see.”


Jesus wept. Then the Jews said, “See how He loved him!”


 And some of them said, “Could not this Man, who opened the eyes of the blind, also have kept this man from dying?”


 Then Jesus, again groaning in Himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it. Jesus said, “Take away the stone.”


Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.”


Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying.And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me.” Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!” And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Loose him, and let him go.”

Prophetic Word

Matthew 5:36-37 (New King James Version)

36 Nor shall you swear by your head,because you cannot make one hair white or black.37 But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’and your ‘No,’‘No.’For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.


James 5:12 (New King James Version)
12 But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or
with any other oath.But let your “Yes” be “Yes,”and your “No,”“No,”lest you fall into judgment.


Matthew 14:9 (New King James Version)
9 And the king was sorry,nevertheless because of the oaths and because of
those who sat with him,he commanded it to be given to her.



 These scripture and the message in these scripture keep stirring in me. I am quite sure the LORD is wanting to warn us as body about something..of course I could be getting it wrong. Here is what is in my spirit and I believe is the word of The Lord.


 "My people must learn the importance of these scriptures, they must be careful with the words of their mouth and the agreements they enter into in the days to come. They must let their yes be yes and no be no, they must not be careless about the vows and agreements they make with their mouths. They must not bind themselves to anyone or anything that I have not called them to come into a agreement with.

Every contract should be prayed about, every business association should be prayerfully considered. Business and ministry deals that look good on the surface may not be all they seem to be. As fear falls on the world over the collapsing financial systems, my people will be tempted out of fear to enter into agreements in order to protect what they have, in order to provide for their families. This is a trap; this is just what the spirit of anti-christ is setting up to enslave the world. My people are not to be enslaved by my enemy, my people are not to fear, my people are not to worry and turn to my enemy.

I will provide, I will protect. Tell my people they can trust me and not to enter into a vow that will bind them to my enemy and theirs. I have a plan to provide for my people, greater than the plan fallen governments, that are bound by the spirit of anti-christ will offer. Great pressure will be on my people to enter into these agreements that will bind them, not help them. This is one reason I have had you teach on honor in the home, so that leaders in the house can stand up and steer their homes and families through the fear that will arise."

We must keep watch in prayer

This verse has been resonating in me as of late. I sense, and I could be wrong that there is coming a challenge to the FACT that Jesus has rose from the dead. A deception that will attempt to discredit scripture and negate The Faith. Sad fact is many are sitting on the fence, and since they are not true Christians or do not know The Word, they will buy into The Lie. We must take the Word of God seriously. A challenge to Christ Risen, is a challenge to the very foundations of The World. For the world is held together BY HIS WORD!


1 Corinthians 15 (NLT)

But tell me this—since we preach that Christ rose from the dead, why are some of you saying there will be no resurrection of the dead? For if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised either. And if Christ has not been raised, then all our preaching is useless, and your faith is useless. And we apostles would all be lying about God—for we have said that God raised Christ from the grave. But that can’t be true if there is no resurrection of the dead. And if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, then your faith is useless and you are still guilty of your sins. In that case, all who have died believing in Christ are lost! And if our hope in Christ is only for this life, we are more to be pitied than anyone in the world.

But in fact, Christ has been raised from the dead. He is the first of a great harvest of all who have died.

Times of Pruning-Times of Pain

Have you ever found yourself pruned back once again to the ground,when you were sure that the time of great growth had arrived?

It is a painful and dangerous time in the life of a Christian, when he comes off an emotional and spiritual high, full of power and light, ready to take on the world and enter into his destiny: Only to come face to face with another season of pruning, and to be cut back to nothing.

Emotionally it can be devastating to think you are on the edge of destiny, only to step into the fog of nothingness and the drizzle of the same road that puts out the flame.

So what is a Christian to do? Give up? Get mad? Lash out at the ones we have been placed under to grow?

Sometimes you just have to let the cleansing tears flow. Get quiet, and trust The Lord to restore vision and flame, to the passion that was just there,yet seems like a distant memory.

You have to trust that The Lord didn't allow the pruning to hurt you or take away the joy in your heart. He allowed it because He saw something great,just as you did in the time that you just came out of...And He wants to make it even better, for you and His Kingdom!

Until then just put your head on the chest of Jesus and listen for His instruction and Comfort.

Jesus is The Lord of ALL!!!

Matthew 28:18-20


 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.  Go therefore[c] and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.






1 Corinthians 15:20-28




 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.  For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead.  For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.  But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming.  Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power.  For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet.  The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.  For “He has put all things under His feet.” But when He says “all things are put under Him,” it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted.  Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.







Colossians 1:15-20




 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.  For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.  And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.  And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.
   
 For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.

Honor ,Adversity and Time

1 Kings 2:36-46 (New King James Version)


36 Then the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, “Build yourself a house in Jerusalem and dwell there, and do not go out from there anywhere. 37 For it shall be, on the day you go out and cross the Brook Kidron, know for certain you shall surely die; your blood shall be on your own head.”



38 And Shimei said to the king, “The saying is good. As my lord the king has said, so your servant will do.” So Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.


39 Now it happened at the end of three years, that two slaves of Shimei ran away to Achish the son of Maachah, king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, “Look, your slaves are in Gath!” 40 So Shimei arose, saddled his donkey, and went to Achish at Gath to seek his slaves. And Shimei went and brought his slaves from Gath. 41 And Solomon was told that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and had come back. 42 Then the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, “Did I not make you swear by the LORD, and warn you, saying, ‘Know for certain that on the day you go out and travel anywhere, you shall surely die’? And you said to me, ‘The word I have heard is good.’ 43 Why then have you not kept the oath of the LORD and the commandment that I gave you?” 44 The king said moreover to Shimei, “You know, as your heart acknowledges, all the wickedness that you did to my father David; therefore the LORD will return your wickedness on your own head. 45 But King Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD forever.”


46 So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he went out and struck him down, and he died. Thus the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
 
 
We see above that The LORD takes Honor very seriously. This man in this scripture was given a second chance, like I was. He was blessed by the king, told to build a home. He prospered in this protection and cover. Yet because time had passed and a circumstance arose, he dishonored the goodness and The word of the king, and did exactly what he was warned not to do.

Isaiah 42

 1 “Behold! My Servant whom I uphold,
      My Elect One in whom My soul delights!
      I have put My Spirit upon Him;
      He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.
       2 He will not cry out, nor raise His voice,
      Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street.
       3 A bruised reed He will not break,
      And smoking flax He will not quench;
      He will bring forth justice for truth.
       4 He will not fail nor be discouraged,
      Till He has established justice in the earth;
      And the coastlands shall wait for His law.”
       5 Thus says God the LORD,
      Who created the heavens and stretched them out,
      Who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it,
      Who gives breath to the people on it,
      And spirit to those who walk on it:
       6 “ I, the LORD, have called You in righteousness,
      And will hold Your hand;
      I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people,
      As a light to the Gentiles,
       7 To open blind eyes,
      To bring out prisoners from the prison,
      Those who sit in darkness from the prison house.
       8 I am the LORD, that is My name;
      And My glory I will not give to another,
      Nor My praise to carved images.
       9 Behold, the former things have come to pass,
      And new things I declare;
      Before they spring forth I tell you of them.”

    10 Sing to the LORD a new song,
      And His praise from the ends of the earth,
      You who go down to the sea, and all that is in it,
      You coastlands and you inhabitants of them!
       11 Let the wilderness and its cities lift up their voice,
      The villages that Kedar inhabits.
      Let the inhabitants of Sela sing,
      Let them shout from the top of the mountains.
       12 Let them give glory to the LORD,
      And declare His praise in the coastlands.
       13 The LORD shall go forth like a mighty man;
      He shall stir up His zeal like a man of war.
      He shall cry out, yes, shout aloud;
      He shall prevail against His enemies.

    14 “ I have held My peace a long time,
      I have been still and restrained Myself.
      Now I will cry like a woman in labor,
      I will pant and gasp at once.
       15 I will lay waste the mountains and hills,
      And dry up all their vegetation;
      I will make the rivers coastlands,
      And I will dry up the pools.
       16 I will bring the blind by a way they did not know;
      I will lead them in paths they have not known.
      I will make darkness light before them,
      And crooked places straight.
      These things I will do for them,
      And not forsake them.
       17 They shall be turned back,
      They shall be greatly ashamed,
      Who trust in carved images,
      Who say to the molded images,

      ‘ You are our gods.’
       18 “ Hear, you deaf;
      And look, you blind, that you may see.
       19 Who is blind but My servant,
      Or deaf as My messenger whom I send?
      Who is blind as he who is perfect,
      And blind as the LORD’s servant?
       20 Seeing many things, but you do not observe;
      Opening the ears, but he does not hear.”

    21 The LORD is well pleased for His righteousness’ sake;
      He will exalt the law and make it honorable.
       22 But this is a people robbed and plundered;
      All of them are snared in holes,
      And they are hidden in prison houses;
      They are for prey, and no one delivers;
      For plunder, and no one says, “Restore!”
       23 Who among you will give ear to this?
      Who will listen and hear for the time to come?
       24 Who gave Jacob for plunder, and Israel to the robbers?
      Was it not the LORD,
      He against whom we have sinned?
      For they would not walk in His ways,
      Nor were they obedient to His law.
       25 Therefore He has poured on him the fury of His anger
      And the strength of battle;
      It has set him on fire all around,
      Yet he did not know;
      And it burned him,
      Yet he did not take it to heart.


AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pray!!!!!!!!!!!!

If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, and require of necessity My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.

Judgment Warning for World--Exhortation(warning) for Church.

 Here is a Prophetic Outline for the time we have just entered into more fully. Not from me, but from The Word of God to JAMES!

Just because mans lies and evil are also used to bring about Gods prophetic Word .It does not release man from judgment for his lies and his evil.(Notice Judas)

The Worlds Rich and Elite, ought to take notice..........

James 5(AMPLIFIED)
1COME NOW, you rich [people], weep aloud and lament over the miseries (the woes) that are surely coming upon you.     2Your abundant wealth has rotted and is ruined, and your [many] garments have become moth-eaten.
    3Your gold and silver are completely rusted through, and their rust will be testimony against you and it will devour your flesh as if it were fire. You have heaped together treasure for the last days.
     
4[But] look! [Here are] the wages that you have withheld by fraud from the laborers who have reaped your fields, crying out [for vengeance]; and the cries of the harvesters have come to the ears of the Lord of hosts.

5[Here] on earth you have abandoned yourselves to soft (prodigal) living and to [the pleasures of] self-indulgence and self-gratification. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.

6You have condemned and have murdered the righteous (innocent man), [while] he offers no resistance to you.
     
 Now here is our instruction for living in these days we are NOW in. Just as important for us to heed the Exhortation(warning) as it is for them to heed the  Judgment warning!

7So be patient, brethren, [as you wait] till the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits expectantly for the precious harvest from the land. [See how] he keeps up his patient [vigil] over it until it receives the early and late rains.

8So you also must be patient. Establish your hearts [strengthen and confirm them in the final certainty], for the coming of the Lord is very near.

9Do not complain, brethren, against one another, so that you [yourselves] may not be judged. Look! The Judge is [already] standing at the very door.
     
10[As] an example of suffering and ill-treatment together with patience, brethren, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord [as His messengers].

11You know how we call those blessed (happy) who were steadfast [who endured]. You have heard of the endurance of Job, and you have seen the Lord's [purpose and how He richly blessed him in the] end, inasmuch as the Lord is full of pity and compassion and tenderness and mercy.

(There is a coming prophetic significance to this next verse. I DO NOT HAVE INSIGHT ON WHAT OR WHY. Feel  free to leave comment on this verse if The Lord gives you something. Notice, it says "above all things". This makes it a very important,very significant warning to us.)

12But above all [things], my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath; but let your yes be [a simple] yes, and your no be [a simple] no, so that you may not sin and fall under condemnation.
  

Now some instruction on how we will ride above the roaring waves of Judgment and Calamity, 

13Is anyone among you afflicted (ill-treated, suffering evil)? He should pray. Is anyone glad at heart? He should sing praise [to God]. 

14Is anyone among you sick? He should call in the church elders (the spiritual guides). And they should pray over him, anointing him with oil in the Lord's name.
     
15And the prayer [that is] of faith will save him who is sick, and the Lord will restore him; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
     
16Confess to one another therefore your faults (your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins) and pray [also] for one another, that you may be healed and restored [to a spiritual tone of mind and heart]. The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].
     
17Elijah was a human being with a nature such as we have [with feelings, affections, and a constitution like ours]; and he prayed earnestly for it not to rain, and no rain fell on the earth for three years and six months. [I Kings 17:1.]
     
18And [then] he prayed again and the heavens supplied rain and the land produced its crops [as usual]. [I Kings 18:42-45.]


Showing mercy and strength as we see some of our brethren fall in The Darkness.

19[My] brethren, if anyone among you strays from the Truth and falls into error and another [person] brings him back [to God],

20Let the [latter] one be sure that whoever turns a sinner from his evil course will save [that one's] soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins [procure the pardon of the many sins committed by the convert].

To him who has an ear let him hear.

Time---REPOST




There is something about this painting that stirs my spirit man.
The Apostels were real men. They lived real lives. They walked in the real
power of God! Oh my fellow Christian, cant you see the damage religious tradition has done?


God is speaking, are you listening to Him?

Do you really discern the time we are in? Soon the answer to that will be made very clear to you and those around you. You will know whether you have a living faith, in a Risen Lord, or whether you have a religious belief, no different than a follower of Islam, Buddism, Hinduism etc. Do you serve the only Son of The Living God? Or the traditions of a religous system? Many will know the answer to that soon. Is Jesus Christ who He said He is? The only way, The Only Truth? Oh Jeremiah spoke of this time well. It is time for all lies to be revealed that have poisoned the True Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is time for the foolishness of man to be cast away and for The ressurection power of Jesus Christ to be revealed and demonstrated on the earth! Just like the early church. Real men of God moving in signs and wonders. God reaching through them performing miracles in The Name of His Glorious SON JESUS! For His name sake!


I saw this in another blog today. It just fits so well.



“It is a dreadful truth that the state of (as you say) ‘having to depend solely on God’ is what we all dread most. And of course that just shows how very much, how almost exclusively, we have been depending on things. But trouble goes so far back in our lives and is now so deeply ingrained, we will not turn to Him as long as He leaves us anything else to turn to.”


C. S. Lewis, Letters to an American Lady (Grand Rapids, 1967), page 47, italics his.

There is a Reason....

Cry Out For Your Brethren!

No matter what nation you are reading this from. No matter what denomination you connect yourself to: I urge you to get on your knees and cry out to The Lord on behalf of your brethren in the world.

Join me and countless others as we are moved by The Spirit to intercede for those facing real danger, and suffering real persecution for the sake of the Gospel.

Pray as Paul did that the entire Body may be filled with the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so they may know how to navigate the rough waters ahead, as the earth prepares for The Coming King!

The Church

The greatest thing the local church can do is to fully realize the anointing and abilities God has placed in His leadership structure and then teach the people how to receive from them. The Elders of The Church have been specially anointed to be the outstretched arms of Christ to His people.


By The Elders fully realizing the potential and responsibility given to them in James 5:14-15 and the people fully realizing the ministry and healing made available to them by James 5:14-15: The Body of Christ can walk in DIVINE HEALING AND HEALTH.

The leadership and ministry structure of The Local church, when in place, IN FAITH, is greater than the most powerful Nuclear Power Plant in the world.  Like the structures that contain the power in the plant enables an enormous amount of power to be made available to a city and region: The structures of the local church operating in and under The Power of God with all her gifts and anointing in full operation, make a limitless amount of power available to a city and region.

The Local Church operating in her full potential is equal to the anointing and power that Jesus operated in during His earthly ministry. Now add The Anointed Evangelist to the mix and you have GODS structure to seek and save the lost, and make disciples of ALL MEN.

The Call

The need is not the call. This piece of wisdom has saved the lives of many a missionary,especially in Africa, where the need is so great, that it can tear you to pieces.....Excerpt from "Living a Life of Fire"..........cont.

I experienced this in a much smaller form, in Houston, while walking around the Medical District where there is 18 Hospitals in a few block radius. The need became so overwhelming to my spirit man, that I had to draw away into the wilderness(THE ZOO) to pray. Important message here for the advancing church in the days to come.

LIVING A LIFE OF FIRE--This book could change your life and ministry.

Isaiah 57:14,15(Prophetic Command for Today??)

"And it shall be said, 'Build up, build up, prepare the way, remove every obstruction from My people's way.'"

For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: 'I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite.'" -

Kenneth E. Hagin - The Devil is Under My Feet

Do you think?

Do you think, when The Father knows there is only a few years left of this age, He will allow us to continue as usual, especially in The Western Church? Do you think He will allow His resources to be used questionably here while pastors and missionaries strive to save lives and feed children across the rest of the planet? Do you think He will shrug off Kingdom Finances being used for luxury, while evangelist in dangerous and dark nations wonder where the next supply will come from?? Do you think he will continue to allow charlatans and fools to profane His name and play games with His Word, while the nations starve for THE TRUTH? Dig into The Lord with these questions..and see what He says. Again, only your heart can answer these.

The Midnight Cry

As watchman on the wall there will come a day, and I believe that day now is, that we will have to sound the cry. What cry?? That it is time to put down all the building tools, all the hammers, saws and pitch spreaders. That it is time to pick up the harvesting tools, put the harvesters in the field, and gather as many as we can into The ARK before The Lord shuts the door and the Age of Grace is no more!! That day will come! The day where building programs will end, that the push to modernize and beautify The Barns and Arks will end. The day is upon us where all earthly possessions will be of no worth and the cry will go out to sell all unnecessary things in order to give to the harvest effort. The question is; Will The Watchman be bold enough to call what they see from the wall, and is the church unconnected enough from this world and earthly goods to listen and PREPARE!!! Get ready for the call is coming, will we hear it?

The Midnight Cry by Maria Woodworth Etter

Hark!! the cry comes ringing high;
Now the Bridegroom cometh nigh.
Have your lamps all trimmed and bright,
Hearts made holy in His sight.
Joyful raise your minds above,
Fixed upon The Lord of Love.
Hark!!! the WARNING soundeth high,
Listen to The Midnight Cry!!
(In singing, repeat last two lines)


Raise the shout of victory,
Glory to the coming King:
Joy to all the Saints He brings,
Join the songs which angels sing:
Shout aloud the Victor’s praise;
We shall see Him face to face,
Hark the WARNING soundeth high,
Listen to The Midnight Cry.
(In singing, repeat last two lines)


Hail Him, then, the pierced LAMB,
Sacred wounds in side and palm;
Worship Him, with holy joy,
Praise Him without sins alloy.
Saints that sleep, soon He will bring,
Heaven’s anthem they shall sing;
Glory to The LORD on high,


Listen to THE MIDNIGHT CRY!!!
Listen to THE MIDNIGHT CRY!!!

Weeping

I am weeping as I write this. I fear for The Body of Christ when we have more faith in doctors and pills than in the healing virtue and love of Christ. I am certainly not against doctors or medicine. I go to the doctors and take medicine.

But, when a vision is cast to go into the highways and by-ways to bring in those in most need of a physicians to be Healed by Christ, and it is somehow considered "extreme'" to believe that Jesus may actually heal them miraculously, we have fallen so far.

In the gospels they brought the sick from cities all around to be healed by Jesus and all were healed. In ACTS they brought the sick from cities all around and all were healed.

So yes, I am an extremist, I really believe that Jesus can still heal a body and soul miraculously, in an instant, without a doctors help or a pill. I believe that Jesus is greater than the devils and the pain that has caused so many so much torment. If that makes me an extremist. The I am proud to say! I am an extremist!

YES! I believe that if the devil can stain a soul by a foul act of sin while a person is just a child and set their life down a path of addiction and abuse. That JESUS CHRIST can bring an instant healing and undo all the Devil has done! If that makes me an extremist...Then tattoo that label on my forehead because I am proud of it.

And if believing that the reason the church doesn't exert more power over the deeds of the enemy and doesn't set more of those that are trapped in deep darkness free is BECAUSE WE HAVE MORE FAITH IN DOCTORS AND PILLS THAN WE HAVE IN JESUS, makes me an extremist then put me right down with all those people that dared to believe that if they brought their sick from all around and laid them at the feet of Jesus, He would heal them instantly and completely.

Put me with the extremist Jesus who set the madman free that had the legion..Today that man would be locked in a cell and filled with drugs, because it is extreme to think somebody so bound could be freed in a moment, by Jesus.

Put me with the extremist father that dared to believe that Jesus could heal his son from seizures and a devil that would caused him to try and kill himself. How dare he believe such a thing. Today that boy would be ramp on pills and sitting in an institution under medical care somewhere. And that is if these poor folk were in a western country with medical care.

Matter of fact every Apostle and Prophet of The Bible was an extremist I guess. All the accounts in the Gospels were actions of silly extremist. All the miracles of Jesus, extreme. All the healing and miracles in The Book of ACTS, just things performed by uneducated, foolish extremist that didn't have the medical knowledge and wisdom we have today.

I hope any one that reads this gets my point. We better start believing in The REAL POWER of God. Not something we pray about,sing about and talk about. I mean the Power of The Gospel, The REAL Power of The Blood! The REAL Power of The WORD!

Now listen, you need a doctor, go to one. If your kid needs a doctor go to one. The church isn't a medical complex and we are not doctors. Let the doctors take care of the natural, let us focus on believing that Jesus can still heal, so there is no need for the pill anymore.

Come LORD Jesus COME!

My Heart Is Heavy

My Heart has been heavy tonight, my spirit searching for the Pastors and Missionaries that are serving in the hard places of the earth. I want to weep for them, intercede for them, however I find witin myself a struggle.

From the deepest part of my spirit man there is a righteous indignation that I can not find a way to express that doesnt cross the lines of protocol and submission. So I will just ask the questions that stirs in me everytime I see a plea from a Pastor or missionary to send recources or food to hurting and dying brothers and sisters in Christ. The questions that stir in me when I see a minister that can in a moment be killed for his service using all his faith to get shelter for orphans food for the starving or clean water for a dying community of believers.

The One Question that burns in me, that burns so red hot at times that it is hard not to get in the flesh and lash out at what I see is a great SIN and injustice.

The question I pose to you, and I wish not to have argument or discussion, you answer the question for yourself, whatever the answer may be, is the answer for you, and that is okay. The question is:

Is It Right?

That Churches in the dark places of the Earth have  little recourse's to help children not die in the dust, while a Pastor in America feels a $10,000 gold watch is a must?

Is It Right?

For Christian Leaders in nations that are full of violence and hate, to have to scrounge for a house, while ministers in America live in mansions, have yachts and buy $10,000 wardrobes for their spouse?


Is It Right? Do YOU Think It was Gods Plan?

That most of "the kingdoms wealth" is in the hands of Ministries that need it the least, serving in the freedom and comfort of The United States, buying sports cars and huge estates? Wearing jewelry and clothes that are worth a fortune,  while throwing some pennies at their starving brothers misfortune? Is that right?

Did The Lord decide that He liked us more, to make us wealthy and fat giving a safe land to dwell, while missionaries and Pastors plead for money to build just one more well, to save one more child? And what is this I see, a  $2,000 suite asking me from a TV, to sew a "faith seed"?

Is that right?
Could it be right?

That The Lord loves us so much more, that He supplies us million dollar light and sound systems, Cathedrals of Glass and fine wood doors?

Is it right?
Could it Be Right?

That laying in the closet,in the drawers and in the bank accounts of  Prophets, Pastors,Evangelist and Teachers, there is enormous wealth tied up in un-needed and overpriced, clothes,jewelry, boats,cars and multi-million dollar estates, some literally have watches that could build two wells and save hundreds of lives etc..etc...etc. All of which would be enough recourse to win a continent for Christ by building churches, supporting evangelist and Pastors, and all of which will be a pile of ashes soon. Some are inserting Judas and the perfume reference right about now, well, you are not Mary, I am not Judas, and your watch isn't glorifying Jesus or preparing Him for burial!!


Let this speak to you.

The Fathers Focus

Some scripture:

2 Corinthians 5

1 For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven…..




Romans 8


23 Not only that,but we also who have the firstfruitsof the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body……..


26So too the [Holy] Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance.


27And He Who searches the hearts of men knows what is in the mind of the [Holy] Spirit [what His intent is], because the Spirit intercedes and pleads [before God] in behalf of the saints according to and in harmony with God’s will.


28We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose.




Philippians 1

22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I cannot tell. 23 For I am hard-pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better. 24 Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you.



As I was worshipping in United Prayer these verses came alive to me. There are times that I long and groan so deeply to be able to step out of this body and see our Lord face to face. It is as if nothing I can do, on this earth, is enough to satisfy the longing I have to step out of this tent and be in the full presence of our Father.


My heart cried out, “Father I just want to be in your throne room”. It was as if I did not want to spend one more second on this earth in this tent of flesh.


Then I saw in my spirit, me standing before the throne. There were others there, but I could only hear The Father speaking to me. His attention was not on me, His attention was not on what was going on in heaven, but His attention was on the earth, on the brothers and sisters in Christ standing around me.


I then heard Him speak these things to me. I will write them as accurate as I can, Lord forgive me for what I miss.


(The Lord could say,and I believe is saying, this to each and every one of us)


“Son, I could bring you here in a moment. You could come and abide in my throne room, but my attention is on the earth. You could come here, but then you would leave behind the people I have called you to work beside, you would leave them without something I have designed them to have. My attention and power is focused on my people fulfilling my plan on the earth. You could come here, but it would be like a soldier leaving behind his squad in the midst of a battle, you would then only be a spectator, to the unfolding of my plan on earth.”




It was so real to me that The Lord is very interested, very invested in pouring His power and blessing on His people, here and now. Oh The Glory of Heaven we will experience for all eternity. The Marriage Super of the Lamb will be a wondrous celebration!


However right now, The Lords Attention, His Focus, His Blessings, His Power, and His Love is being directed toward those who Love Him and are called according to His Purpose, and what is His purpose, but to have His will be done ON EARTH as it is in heaven.


Oh how He loves us! Oh, how He wants for us to be in His full presence, more than we want to be in His full presence. But, for now, we have work to do for Him. For now The Church and The World needs us to be here as ambassadors for Christ and The Kingdom of Heaven. There is great reward for us as we endure the hardships and persecutions of this world in order to be His body on the earth, and He is preparing that reward right now, adding to it all the time.


I want to tell you my Brothers and Sisters in Christ. The LORD is with us. He is intently watching over us, His full attention is on us as we fulfill His Plan on earth as it is in heaven.


So fellow prayer warriors, stand on this planet and allow The Lord to use your voice as a conduit for bringing resources from heaven to earth, for building of The Body, for the supply of The Church, for the sake of The Elect, for the Glory of The Kingdom.

Pride

Pride is one of the biggest enemies of truth. Self is one the the biggest enemies of truth. Self Pride is the poison that kills truth. The more we are like Christ and in tune with His will, the less conflict we will have.

Isaiah 14:24-27





24 The LORD of hosts has sworn, saying,


“ Surely, as I have thought, so it shall come to pass,


And as I have purposed, so it shall stand:


25 That I will break the Assyrian in My land,


And on My mountains tread him underfoot.


Then his yoke shall be removed from them,


And his burden removed from their shoulders.


26 This is the purpose that is purposed against the whole earth,


And this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.


27 For the LORD of hosts has purposed,


And who will annul it?


His hand is stretched out,


And who will turn it back?”

Praise Jesus!!! The LORD Is God
Jesus Is LORD!!!!!

This Can Be YOUR City!!!

This is an exhortation I wrote for the church that I attend in the city I live in.
However this can apply to YOUR church and YOUR City!
We are ONE BODY in Christ Jesus!:

Please confess this, with all your heart, from the deep place of FAITH,on behalf of our Body and The Body of Christ in CNY. It is time we begin to raise up one voice for The Body Of Christ in Syracuse and CNY. We can truly be a city set upon a hill, a city so filled with His Spirit, so full of His Light, that bars begin to close and drug dealers begin to move out! Can it be so? YES, YES,YES!! Only Believe! It will only happen by a great move of Gods Spirit on His Body. It will only happen by The Baptism of The Holy Spirit spreading throughout The Body, causing an increase of salvations and power like we have never seen before!! Do you truly believe? Stop waiting!! Start pressing,stirring and acting! Praise God! Praise Jesus!

We ask you Father in Jesus name to make the above vision real. Show us our part in making this happen. Show us our part in bringing in a harvest like this region has never seen. Stir those you have called to stand in the gap for this area to declare the impossible is possible and believe for miracles,signs and wonders to be released in the name of your Holy Son Jesus! We stand ready and willing to be flaming swords in YOUR HAND!


“We will not doubt the promises of God through unbelief and doubt! We will be strengthened in FAITH as we give glory and thanksgiving to God, because we know what He has promised HE is also willing AND able to perform!!!!!”

Scars

I recently thinking about a song that says "Jesus take away the pain, but leave the scars, so...." I will stop there because these lyrics are so wrong and so damaging. God did not pay such a high price to leave you scarred and beaten! Those scars did not come from Him! They may have been caused by abuse, neglect, sin,... foolishness and the devil, but Jesus did not cause them

Jesus in Psalm 23 promises to restore your soul, make you new, cause you to become what you were meant to be, before the pain, before the neglect, before the abuse, before the drugs, before the booze, before your own foolish choices. Those scars that many wear as a badge of honor are not helping, they are causing a rift in your heart and mind. If you are a christian they are keeping you from really believing for Gods best and total restoration and healing, because you think those scars are helping. You are holding on to, something He died for and promised to heal for you.  Those scars are effecting how you relate to people. Those scars are causing you to walk in shadows and not the full light of the LIBERTY OF CHRIST! Those scars are causing you to have a self image that is tainted and not how God sees you. If you are not born again, or don't consider your self to have a personal relationship with Christ, those scars are probably being covered by drugs,beer, over sexuality. Want to know why it is so hard for people to quit drinking and doing drugs? They don't like what they see or feel about themselves without a numbing agent. Sure some still just like to party, but you know who you are, if those scars are causing you to have bad relationship after bad relationship. You know if when you sober up, you hide from yourself. You know, if you are a scarred person who wishes they weren't. I recently realized how devastating those scars have been to my life and how they caused so much behavior that I am now ashamed of..but freed from. I urge you fellow Christians, Don't carry those scars anymore, cast them away, and tell the devil He can keep them. Believe your LORD that He will restore child like innocence to your soul. HE WILL. And to those still searching...There is real freedom, real power and real healing..that no drug,drink,violence or sexual encounter can provide..and it is so cool to see Him work. Jesus died for YOU...........
