Am I Ready? Are We Ready?

I have read many books over the past year about the lives and sermons of Great Evangelist and Teachers. This one, that I just started reading is different. It is The Autobiography of Charles Finney.

It is hard to explain. It is like I am reading about how The Holy Spirit works and operates. How He performed miracles, led sinners to salvation, and melted the most hardened heart: Not the man the book is about.

There is something profound about this book. It isn't written in a way I usually enjoy, the wording is language from the 1700's, but God is in every word.

I believe the anointing associated with what I am reading is already starting to operate. I am a bit nervous to be honest.The anointing started to flow in a small post office today that was packed.

The warm oil was upon my face and bubbling in my spirit man, would I have been ready if,like with Charles Finney, The Holy Spirit brought that whole room to The Throne and they began to repent and ask what they must do??

We pray for times like that, we have believed for it again for years...

I want to be obedient and not run. When the rubber hits the Road will I be able to handle it???

YOUR Father Loves YOU!

The loving, caring eyes of Your Father are upon you with great intention and interest. His attentive ears are listening with great concern to your voice, which He loves to hear, and never grows tired of.

He not only sees and hears you, He has the will and ability to care for you, heal you,comfort you, protect you and provide for you.

There is no enemy that can overtake Him. There is no intruder that can snatch you from His Hand. Your Daddy truly is The Strongest Daddy on the playground!

YOUR FATHER is The Lord of All Creation if YOU HAVE accepted His Son as Lord!

Read and Receive!!

I was meditating today on how the anointing seems to be transferred from the pages of the books that I take great pleasure in reading. What is it about reading the autobiographies of  Reinhard Bonnke, Smith Wigglesworth and His Sermons, Charles Finney, Kenneth Hagin Sr, and the like?


It isn't the men themselves that reach through the pages and make a deposit in my spirit. It isn't because they were so amazing or great, although they were made great in The Kingdom for a reason.


Then, I began to see something in way i haven't before. I began to see what it was, besides the anointing, that caused such a deposit of glory and maturity in my Soul and Spirit.

When I read the accounts of the lives of these men or when I read their sermons and teachings, the greatest thing being transferred is how they viewed The Lord and His Word. It is the deposit The Lord put in them, the heart The Lord put in them.


The very high view that Kenneth Hagin had of The Word, The Blood and The Name brings my view of those things to a higher level. His impenetrable Faith in Gods Word is contagious when you read His story and His teachings. His book "The Name of Jesus" will cause any Christian, any true Christian, to honor The name of Our LORD MORE HIGHLY THAN THEY EVER HAD.




The RAW Faith and gruff determination of Smith Wigglesworth is saturated in everything that he wrote and taught. "The Power of Faith"  is one of the most powerfully anointed books I have ever read. Every story has a thread that is unique to Him and His life. His longevity and his refusal to bow his knee to anything of the world, causes the reader to go to new heights in their faith In God and His Word!


The autobiography of  Reinhard Bonnke , "Living The Life of Fire", stands as one of the most powerful  ever written about an Evangelist and in my opinion a modern day Apostle. If you have never read it, get it, read it and you will be in awe at what THE LORD communicates to you through it. So many misunderstand His ministry because they do not know his roots. Discover His roots and unlock a whole world of teaching on evangelism, that is really inexhaustible.


Charles Finney (Read His Autobiography) knew something about the anointing,prayer, intercession, that most have never even scratched the surface of. But you can have a deposit of that same understanding that caused him to be a fit vessel, to advance the kingdom like few in history have been able to do.


I guess the point of my post today is: Don't lose out on what the Lord may have for you through these men that He anointed and called to deposit something into The Church today.


Even if you do not agree with all a preacher has done or taught, don't miss out because of pride or spiritual elitism. There is a thread of power and anointing, because of the understanding these men had, and have,  about God and His Word, about Jesus, and His Blood, His Name and the power and tools He gave The Church to complete His Mission.


I pray that he who has an ear to hear, will hear what The Lord is saying. Don't look to the vessel, look to the revelation The Lord has allowed The Vessel to have, and receive fully from it.


When you read books and teaching from men and woman that advanced The Kingdom, through The Word and The Spirit, read them with your inner man. Don't intellectually look for the theologian in them, look for the heart of God and FOR GOD, That He put in them.

Rest in Him! As He is At Rest in You

Mark 4:35-40
Wind and Wave Obey Jesus

On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side.” Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him. And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling.  But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?”

Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. But He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?”


There are times in life, even for the most stable Christian, that the circumstances around us feel as if a mighty storm is threatening to destroy our lives. Just like the Disciples it seems as though The Lord is comfortably sleeping in our spirit, while we battle the wind and waves.

I believe with all my heart that The Lord gave us this story, not only to show us He was Lord of all Creation, but to demonstrate to us, what He expects us to do during these times of trouble.

He isn't resting comfortably because He does not care what you are facing, although the enemy would love for you to believe that. He is resting comfortably because He knows what He has declared over your life. He knows that He will not lose you from His hand.

Some of us know what it is like to have everything on the outside calm and at peace, but inside, we have a Major Storm going on. Whether it is a broken place in the soul, that is yet to be healed, turmoil in the mind, or a physical condition that causes distress in the belly of our being, The Lord has taken up a place of rest IN YOU, and He will give you that rest!

However you must stand up in faith, against feelings, against what you see, and declare His Word! Command your heart to be at peace and your soul to be calm. You must CHOOSE to look beyond the waves and the wind. 

Like John, lean back on The Lords chest and take comfort in His presence in you.

I know you see them, I know you hear them. I know they can be frightening,disheartening and troublesome! But!!! The greater one lives in you! If He is at peace in you, you can be at peace as well.

Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing the Word of God!! Look to His word and hold tightly to His promises.

If you are new to the Christian Walk of Faith, He is so good to help you along and rebuke the wind and sea for you, time and time again. If you have been walking with Him a while, He expects you to trust Him and take up a place of rest, even if the storm continues to rage.

You will make it. He has an expected end for you!

IT IS GOOD!!!

Jeremiah 29:11
New King James Version (NKJV)


 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

He is Well Able!

I was meditating on The Word the other day and The Lord began to stir in my SPIRIT four images, from four different areas of His Word that promises us financial supply and blessing, when we need it.

He is so good, to stir in us, the very thing we need when our faith begins to bend under the pressure of current circumstances, HIS WORD and His WORD made alive to our inner man.

I pray that these declarations and images will help you as they have helped me.




                                                      Through Mans Hands!
                                I saw The Lord causing people to give the supply for the need
              



The Wealth of The Wicked is being Laid up for The Righteous!

He who gains wealth through extreme interest, is laying it up for he who will have mercy on the poor!



We have given! So it shall be given unto us Pressed Down, Shaken Together and Running over! MEN Shall give to us. I thank You Lord that people, I do not even know, are being led to give us the supply we need.


I thank You Lord that the wealth of those who are wicked, do not know you, or are greedy for filthy money, is just being stored by them, so that YOU can transfer it to OUR hands! We have had mercy on the poor and needy, and that wealth is coming, so that we can give again!!!


          
                                                 From The Harvest Field
                                                                      The Land
                       I saw my self standing in Front of The Field Calling out Harvest for the need

                                              

Whatever a man Sows he shall also Reap.

I thank you Lord that you have allowed us to sow richly into your Incorruptible Soil. You have given us Incorruptible Seed. You have promised us that our Vines would not cast Their Fruit early, and that our Store Houses would be overflowing with an Abundant Harvest!!! 

I call forth NOW in Jesus NAME a supply, an abundant supply to meet every need and every godly desire!



                                            The Waves and The Waters            
                                                                      The Sea!
                                    I saw the return of The Bread we cast upon the waters!
                                  
                                                             


Cast your Bread upon many waters and It shall Return to You!!!

Praise God!! Thank you Father!! You have led us to cast our bread upon many different waters, upon many different seas at home and abroad!!!

 I call forth NOW in the Name of Jesus a harvest from The Sea. I see supply coming in, wave after wave. Oh glory To God!! I see the sea giving up her bounty, wave after wave..Just as THE LORD commanded her to DO in HIS WORD!!!!


                                                        

                                                      From God Himself!!!!
                                                                      The FATHER
                                                   I am seeing Gods Own Hand supplying!


                                                              

He who gives to the poor, LENDS unto God!!! And HE SHALL REPAY!!!!!

And MY God shall supply all our Need according to HIS Riches and His Glory!!!

And God is able to make all grace abound toward us, so that in all things and in every way , we shall have an abundance for every GOOD Work!!

And THE LORD SHALL cause ALL THESE BLESSINGS to come upon YOU!! Blessed will you be in the city and blessed in the country. Blesses going in and blessed coming out. Your health will be blessed, your children will be blessed, your fields, your lands, your pets, your vehicles..ALL THAT IS YOURS SHALL BE BLESSED!!!!

I thank you FATHER in JESUS NAME!! You are faithful to do JUST as YOU SAID YOU WOULD DO!

What YOU have declared, YOU will accomplish! What YOU have determined, Will come to pass!

Today Is The Day

I don't usually put Facebook post up here, however this was a really good one.

IMPART  , a ministry to Pastors and ministers, Left this Facebook Post.

Do you have a word from God -- a promise or some directive from the Lord to carry you through times that seem bleak and barren? It's like an anchor that holds you steady in difficulty or hardship -- when the vision seems to tarry. Don't stop short of receiving God's clear direction and His word for you in this hour and this season. Then wait for it, EXPECTING! Great day, everyone!
 
This was my "comment" that post.(Typos Fixed)
 
I was just praying this very thing last night. Sometimes when the pressure is on to get discouraged you have to just declare that, Today is the day the Lord has made. Today I can sow faith filled words into that vision. Today God is with me. Today He has washed me with His own blood. Today I can thank Him for, and offer sacrifices of Praise. Today I can sow Thanksgiving, IN Faith, for that vision which is set for its appointed time. I don't know why this or that hasn't change, my flesh and heart may not like it. I don't know about tomorrow....
 
But Today I will be strengthened in Faith AS I give Glory to God. I know that what He has promised He is also willing and able to perform!!...END
 
 

Psalm 118:24

New King James Version (NKJV)

 This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.


Romans 4:17-21

New King James Version (NKJV)
17 (as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did; 18 who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, “So shall your descendants be.” 19 And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. 20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.
