Resist or Persist?

Once again a project my son is doing for school is my inspiration today. I believe my son has been given some prophetic gifts in the same way I have and the same way my dad has.

The dreams he has and the way some of his creativity is expressed is powerful to me at times, in the way I see the Lord speaking through them.

To the right is another poster he made. As I looked at it the words "Are we to resist or persist in the coming days??"

When I began to write this I was sure of the answer, resistance seems like rebellion, so my conclusion was: We are to persist, not resist the coming "New World Order".

However the Lord began to speak to me,and  is even now as I type. There is a reason why many in  my sons generation, the teenagers He is grooming for service, have a stick to your guns, resist the enemy,almost militant attitude toward the things of God. They may not get things just right, they may not hit the mark when it comes to keeping away from some sins of the flesh, but like a generation of Davids, they are warriors for The Lord!.

They not only have a heart to resist lies and evil, they have a heart to persist even through the coming darkness. They don't need prosperity to a fault in order to be soldiers for The Kingdom. They don't need plush surroundings and a comfortable environment to serve The King. They are being prepared to carry the torch for The Lord through the dark days to come. They are being groomed to be light bearers for The Lord.

I see in my son and the many teenagers I have observed at Christian Heavy Metal concerts, an amazing heart for The Lord. A rough, unrefined attitude that proudly declares Jesus as Lord, and doesn't care what anyone thinks of it. They don't buy the errors and lies so many in previous generations have. They see right through charlatans. They want The Love and Power of God and could care for little more. They have a heart for missions and hurting kids in other nations. I love it, and it brings tears to my eyes.

I will end by offering up Thanksgiving to The Lord for all those He is preparing in this young generation. All those that we see serving now and all those that He is keeping hidden, so they will learn from him, and then be released into The Body and The World.

Thank You Father!! In Jesus Name

My next post will be a dream my son had, with a picture from a The Cover of a Book from Buck Stephens. My son had the dream before The Book was out, I believe the picture he saw in his dream, was a confirmation of a Word from a seasoned saint and prophet, and a young 16 year old that seems to have a prophetic gift.

Hope

The picture to the left is a project my son is working on for school. As soon as I saw it my spirit man was moved, it spoke so much to me. 

He would say it isn't finished yet, that it isn't that good,however I see it as a perfect illustration, yes possibly even a prophetic illustration of the world now and the one we will see very soon. 

I want you to pray a bit right now, touch Gods heart in prayer and then look at this picture.

So many people all across this globe are clinging unto a fading hope. They are crossing a crumbling bridge to an unknown destination that they hope will bring them comfort and stability. But even that hope, even the god given desire to hold onto hope, is beginning to fade in every area of man. 

In many nations where there is no real tangible governments or necessities, there seems to be more hope, than in nations that it would appear have every financial and material reason to remain hanging unto hope. There seems to be more smiling and happy children running the streets, in the poorest parts of the world, than in nations where children have all they need or want. 

Still, everywhere we look there is something or somebody pushing themselves or a product as the reason to hang unto hope. All have failed, and all will fail. This world, in and of itself, has no hope. We are spiraling toward a fiery end, and a final battle, and there is nothing that will stop that.

But this is The Good News, This is The Gospel! There is HOPE!!! 

In the first verse of the eleventh chapter of Hebrews it says; (Header Added)

Hebrews 11:1 

 

By Faith We Understand

 1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.




I have a saying that I tag on emails sometimes that says;
"You can have hope without faith, but you can not have faith without hope"

I want you to read that again:
 "You can have hope without faith, but you can not have faith without hope




It is no wonder why HOPE is under such attack, not only in the world but also in The Church. Remember as you go through your day and life, that you are an ambassador of The Good News. You carry the news, the HOPE the world is looking for. 


Jesus came to seek and save that which was lost. He is The Hope of the salvation that the lost are seeking in material things and man. He is the peace they seek, the stability they long for, and again, the Hope they desperately need.


Don't worry about what this denomination does or that one teaches. You be a living, breathing testimony for Jesus and the love He so longs to show The World. Be an example to those losing hope, allow The Holy Spirit to reach through you and give them, what they have been drawn by Him to seek. The Hope of Salvation!!! Jesus Christ!!! Our LORD!

Note To Myanmar and North Korea

If you would stop bowing to fear and use your power and military to love, protect and provide for your people, especially the widows, the young and the fatherless, you and your Country will be blessed. 

I am not saying you have to become like America. I am not saying you must become a Christian Nation. What i am saying is that love is more powerful than hate. The strongest man or leader is one that does all to provide and to protect his people.

There is a verse in our Bible that says that the wealth of the wicked is being stored up for those who will have mercy on the poor. Do you want God to bless your nation and empower your people? Begin to allow your people freedom, feed them, protect them, do all you can to open your borders to humanitarian aid and freedom of religion.

Don't allow one religion to use violence against another, but allow freedom to express, share and worship.  Our Bible says that The Nation whose God is The Lord shall be blessed. Blessed in these verses mean empowered to succeed.

I know the day may never come, but if I could just embrace you, and allow you, for just a moment, to feel The Love of Christ. The Love that God had when He sent His Son to die for the world. The Bible says that God so Loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever will believe in Him shall not die, but have everlasting LIFE!

This may be a note to no one. I realize the chances of anyone in a position of power in these nations and villages, are little to none. But if you are reading this, then God Himself led you here. And if not, then this note had gone up as a prayer on behalf of those stuck under oppression and poverty. This note has gone up to God as a prayer on behalf of the widow and the fatherless. This note has gone up as a prayer to my God. A prayer asking God, the Lord of all creation, creator of Heaven and Earth, who holds the worlds in His hand, to free those people, to break down the gates and allow His Love to reach those behind those walls.!!!!



The Walls

From inside the walls and outside the walls
There is raising up a shout
The voice of The LORDS Redeemed
Shouting let the captives out!
 
From inside the walls and outside the walls
A song is being sung
Gods chosen, singing in The Spirit
Singing The Time of freedom has come!
 

From inside the walls and outside the walls
The Word is being declared
Gods kings and priest on the earth
Taking authority, over the prince of the air
 

From inside the walls and outside the walls
Victory is being revealed
The elect of The LORD
HAVE BEEN CHOSEN,SAVED AND SEALED!

 
FROM INSIDE THE WALLS AND OUTSIDE THE WALLS
A NEW NATION HAS BEEN BIRTHED
AND HER CITIZENS ARE SHOUTING
JESUS IS LORD OVER ALL THE EARTH!

What Every Christian Needs To Know



Below is a song/poem that I am praying will build you up for the  onslaught of persecution from the world and spirit of Anti-Christ that is to come.

I was reminded of this as my wife and I spoke last night about how the enemy will deceive a Christian, and then push them to make as many bad decisions as possible while they are still deceived. The more bad decision he can hurry them into making, the harder it will be for them to recover from those decision if and when they wake up from the deception.

There is coming a time that great pressure will be put on people to rush into decisions in order to protect their families from lack. Many of the lost will embrace what is offered freely for fear of going without and for fear of financial loss. This is exactly what the Anti-Christ and the spirit of Anti-Christ that is in the world and in more and more governments will use to cause men to bow to his system and eventually to him.

Revelation 13:16-17

 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 

I want to encourage you my brothers and sisters in Christ, Trust in The Lord with all your heart. He will provide!!! He has all you need, and there is no reason to bow your heart or knee to fear anything that the enemy or the world puts before you. Let your declaration be. The LORD is MY Provider.  

No FEAR No DEFEAT

I am not worried and I am not hurried
Because, We have been anointed
And, We have been appointed
In this season and in this time
TO walk in our destiny
Our destiny divine!!!

CHARGE!!!!!!!
No FEAR!!!
No RETREAT!!!
Every Enemy Will bow to His NAME or
Will GO DOWN In A Dramatic Demonstration OF Defeat!!!


I am not worried and I am not hurried
Because, We have been anointed
And, We have been appointed
In this season and in this time
TO walk in our destiny
Our destiny divine!!!


The Light that is in me
Is greater than the darkness that is in the world!
For the Light that is in me
Is coming from The King of Kings and Lord of Lords!


I am not worried and I am not hurried.
Because, We have been anointed
And, We have been appointed
In this season and in this time
TO walk in our destiny.
Our destiny divine!!!


I know,even when I have to hope against hope
That The Lord has a plan.
He is faithful who has promised!!!!
And will not be deterred by the foolishness of man!!


I am not worried and I am not hurried
Because, We have been anointed
And, We have been appointed
In this season and in this time
TO walk in our destiny
Our destiny divine!!!


CHARGE!!!!!!!
No FEAR!!!
No RETREAT!!!
Every Enemy Will bow to His NAME or
Will GO DOWN In A Dramatic Demonstration OF Defeat!!!

A Great Example of How We Need Each Other

This is a wonderful example of how we need each other in prayer and in ministry when we come up against the enemy and when we enter his territory to take ground for The Kingdom!

STAND!!!!

The Bible says that as a man thinks in his heart, so he is. The Church should consider this. Could it be said that as a church thinks in her heart so she is? 

Are we laying burdens on peoples shoulders that they were never meant to carry, and calling it "testing" or "trial". Are we losing called,equipped and anointed ministers, because the bar we are setting is our own, and not Gods? 

There comes a time, when, although we respect and honor our leaders, we have to stand on what The Lord has called us to be and what He has spoken to us clearly. If we don't ,then we have put our destiny ,and our call ,in the hands of other people instead of Gods.

 This can be a hard thing to do. We do not want to do it out of frustration or anger. We must be sure that our stand is not against our leaders, but instead on what we know The Lord has called, and commissioned us to do. We must keep our heart pure and close to The Lord.


 I have learned that when I begin to pull away from serving in the church, I have to check my heart. That is a good way to tell if your stand of faith and on Gods call, is becoming a stand against the leaders you are serving under.


Know this, that God is not an impersonal God ,that is constantly putting us through test and trial, with no season of rest and abundance. With no season of reaping answered prayers that bless our heart and our loved ones. He is a good and caring Father. He is a faithful and well able God in whom all things are truly possible.


He sees your heart. He knows every tear that has fallen from your eyes. He sees your faithful plodding and your times of stumbling and trial. He is ready to pour His blessing and harvest on you. 


So if you feel like you have been under and endless burden of test and trail. Check what you have been thinking in your heart about our God. Look to The Cross of Christ and see that HE took it all, so you didn't have to carry that burden any longer.


And if you know that you are called and set apart as a ministry gift to The Body and the world, stand on what The Lord has spoken to you, no matter who or what tries to make you step off  it.


Isn't that just another test you ask? Sure, I guess, but an easy one. Just purpose in your heart to agree with God and not with man or the enemy. It is as easy as choosing to stand up or sit down. 


The church and the world can't afford to lose anymore ministers that God has sent with fire in their hearts, to accomplish His will. Too many churches in too many places are quenching The Spirit of God, by quenching the Prophets and Evangelist sent to do His will on earth.


Far too many churches are moving toward softening the message of The Cross, The Blood and The Power of The Spirit, to make services more user friendly. We have enough comfortable palaces in this nation as Pastors in other nations die for the Gospel and scrounge up every penny in order to feed and protect children.


 What we need is training grounds in The Word and The Spirit in order to train powerful ministers and Pastors to take The Gospel of POWER to The Nations. 


 So please, Oh mighty Man or Woman of God. Don't be quenched. Don't sit down! STAND! AND HAVING DONE ALL TO  STAND!!! STAND

Are You Listening?

The reason we sometimes can't be led by the Spirit of God in certain areas, is because we are always looking to other things or people to lead us in that area. In whatever area of your life that you allow circumstances or the past to lead you, is the area you will be hard of hearing in.
  
CALL FORTH

I was facing a very old, wet, stone wall
I climbed to the top of the wall
When I got to the top I looked down at a hungry child
He was seated and was surrounded by empty containers
Of all different shapes and sizes
In my spirit I considered that the containers were empty
I heard in my spirit “missionaries”
I immediately began to cry out over the wall
I wasn’t crying out to the child, but to the containers
“ASK EXPECTING TO RECEIVE”,
“ASK EXPECTING TO RECEIVE”,
“ASK EXPECTING TO RECEIVE”.
The Dream Ended

Be Well!

When He pulled His hand away from me my spirit cried. My soul failed and my legs could not stand. Yet He was always with me and His return brought understanding.

This is a wonderful day. This is a blessed day. This is a day The LORDS hand will be seen and His voice heard on the earth. To some His arm will be revealed!
He silences the voice of the accuser and destroys the armies that come against you.
He is a mighty and powerful God that created all things and in whom and for whom all things exist.
He embraces when others judge and cast off. He listens when others have already stopped listening. He cares when all have abandon.
He upholds us and comforts us. He guides us and guards us. He understands when no one else does. He brings to life what seems dead.

He is a warrior King....A warrior God...who calls His servants to carry a flaming sword into the dark lands on earth and in hearts.
Jesus not only performed amazing miracles but bids His fellow heirs to do the same.
He calls you to take peoples...tongues and tribes back to His throne while others hide with their own.
He bids you to walk with Him on the water as others cower in the boat. He calls you to knock down hells gates as others hide behind golden walls.
Jesus not only will heal your disease but will empower you with the same power to heal others in His name.
He is The Almighty GOD....He Is JESUS!!!!!!
He is The Alpha..The Omega. The Beginning and The End.
He is Healer..Deliverer. Advocate..Strengthener...Protector..Provider..Friend..Father...LORD and Savior
