A Spirit Lead Post--Day 23




I will not comment on this post. Except to say that this speech came up in prayer a few years ago, as we cried out for men of wisdom to rise up in a time of trouble to be a voice of peace!

The Lord drew my attention to this again tonight. Let The Spirit of God Speak to YOU on how to pray.



Are You Ready? - Day 22



Are you ready for what The Lord has in store for His Church?

Are you ready to see Him clean his Church?
To Correct His Church?
Are you ready for Him to move and operate in the way He did in ACTS?



So many say YES! AMEN!!  To this, but so many also prove they are not ready, by what they attribute and except as His Hand moving now. They rush to be entertained and mystified by glitter falling from a vent, or people shaking on stage, or dollar bills and gems falling from the ceiling...etc...Etc...

There are men and women right now that are so highly respected that have given heed to doctrines of demons and seducing spirits, talking about having lunch with angels, hanging out with them, like buddies.

So are you, are we really ready?

Well, ready or not, His Will shall be done. I pray with all my heart that Leaders and Laymen alike hear His Voice and turn from the false Gospel that has spread, but some will not, and we must prepare our hearts and minds for that.


Follow God!!

 

Hebrews 4:11 (NLT)


11 So let us do our best to enter that rest. But if we disobey God, as the people of Israel did, we will fall.


12 For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.



Acts 5  (NLT)

Ananias and Sapphira

 But there was a certain man named Ananias who, with his wife, Sapphira, sold some property. 2 He brought part of the money to the apostles, claiming it was the full amount. With his wife’s consent, he kept the rest.

3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, why have you let Satan fill your heart? You lied to the Holy Spirit, and you kept some of the money for yourself. 4 The property was yours to sell or not sell, as you wished. And after selling it, the money was also yours to give away. How could you do a thing like this? You weren’t lying to us but to God!”

5 As soon as Ananias heard these words, he fell to the floor and died. Everyone who heard about it was terrified. 6 Then some young men got up, wrapped him in a sheet, and took him out and buried him.

7 About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 Peter asked her, “Was this the price you and your husband received for your land?”

“Yes,” she replied, “that was the price.”

9 And Peter said, “How could the two of you even think of conspiring to test the Spirit of the Lord like this? The young men who buried your husband are just outside the door, and they will carry you out, too.”

10 Instantly, she fell to the floor and died. When the young men came in and saw that she was dead, they carried her out and buried her beside her husband. 11 Great fear gripped the entire church and everyone else who heard what had happened.

The Apostles Heal Many

12 The apostles were performing many miraculous signs and wonders among the people. And all the believers were meeting regularly at the Temple in the area known as Solomon’s Colonnade.

13 But no one else dared to join them, even though all the people had high regard for them. 14 Yet more and more people believed and were brought to the Lord—crowds of both men and women.

15 As a result of the apostles’ work, sick people were brought out into the streets on beds and mats so that Peter’s shadow might fall across some of them as he went by. 16 Crowds came from the villages around Jerusalem, bringing their sick and those possessed by evilspirits, and they were all healed.




Acts 8:9-24 (NKJV)


9 But there was a certain man called Simon, who previously practiced sorcery in the city and astonished the people of Samaria, claiming that he was someone great, 10 to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is the great power of God.” 11 And they heeded him because he had astonished them with his sorceries for a long time. 12 But when they believed Philip as he preached the things concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were baptized. 13 Then Simon himself also believed; and when he was baptized he continued with Philip, and was amazed, seeing the miracles and signs which were done.

14 Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them, 15 who, when they had come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit. 16 For as yet He had fallen upon none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 17 Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

18 And when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money, 19 saying, “Give me this power also, that anyone on whom I lay hands may receive the Holy Spirit.”

20 But Peter said to him, “Your money perish with you, because you thought that the gift of God could be purchased with money! 21 You have neither part nor portion in this matter, for your heart is not right in the sight of God. 22 Repent therefore of this your wickedness, and pray God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you. 23 For I see that you are poisoned by bitterness and bound by iniquity.”


24 Then Simon answered and said, “Pray to the Lord for me, that none of the things which you have spoken may come upon me.”

 

 
Acts 13:6-12 (NKJV)


6 Now when they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar-Jesus, 7 who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. This man called for Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God. 8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so his name is translated) withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.

9 Then Saul, who also is called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him 10 and said, “O full of all deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting the straight ways of the Lord? 11 And now, indeed, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a time.”

And immediately a dark mist fell on him, and he went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand. 12 Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had been done, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

 

Acts 19:11-20 (NKJV)


11 Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, 12 so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them.

13 Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists took it upon themselves to call the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “We exorcise you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches.” 14 Also there were seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did so.
15 And the evil spirit answered and said, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?”

16 Then the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. 17 This became known both to all Jews and Greeks dwelling in Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.

18 And many who had believed came confessing and telling their deeds. 19 Also, many of those who had practiced magic brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they counted up the value of them, and it totaled fifty thousand pieces of silver. 20 So the word of the Lord grew mightily and prevailed.



Prepare for Both The Glory of The LORD and The Correction of The Lord!
Prepare for Both The Great Mercy of The Lord and The Severity of The Lord!
Prepare for Restoration and Judgement!



Prepare to BE THE CHURCH OF ACTS!
Alive, Active, Powerfull and Mighty!
But, also full of Honor and Reguard for The Holy Things of God!

Prophetic Prayer- Day 21



This dream took on added significance today in Prayer. A wonderful sister shared a dream that brought new and full revelation to this dream I had several years ago.

We need to be prepared to be a help and a source of provision for missionaries and ministers when "famine" hits the land.


We must take our place on The Wall,praying and declaring the things The Lord leads us to, commands us to.






Acts 11:27-30

New King James Version (NKJV)

Relief to Judea

 And in these days prophets came from Jerusalem to AntiochThen one of them, named Agabus, stood up and showed by the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine throughout all the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius Caesar. Then the disciples, each according to his ability, determined to send relief to the brethren dwelling in Judea. This they also did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.



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
 



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!

Brian Nhira's Original Music (playlist) Day 20



Today just sit back and listen to encouragement and Hope from a wonderful gift from God.
I am posting a link to this very timely and anointed CD to the right. -> 












I don't understand, I can't even fathom
This hurt you're going through 
Could God let this happen?


Questions plague your mind 
Uncertainty is raging
Doubt is creeping in
Your foundation is crumbling
Everything you know is being tested, being tried
But hold on my friend hold on
Cause hopes on the other side


You've worked so hard
You've prayed even harder
For the things God has promised 
But they seem even farther 


Still questions plague your mind
Uncertainty is raging
Doubt is creeping in
Your foundation is crumbling
Everything you know is being, being tried.
Hold on my friend, hold on
HOPES ON THE OTHER SIDE!


Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on...
You'll make it through
You'll come out strong
Just hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
The break of dawn 
Is not too far
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on...

When questions plague your mind 
Uncertainty is raging
Doubt is creeping in
Your foundation is crumbling
Everything you know is being tested, being tried
But hold on my friend hold on
Cause hopes on the other side
Hopes on the other side
Hopes on the other side

The Presence Of The Lord & Answered Prayer--Day 19





The more I enter into the Spirit of Prayer, the more I realize the connection between the Tangible Presence of The Lord and His Will being done through our answered prayers ON EARTH. 

In turn it is becoming clearer and clearer, the importance our Prayers
have in accomplishing His Will on Earth.

I believe The Lord is looking for a people who will desperately seek His WILL ALONE, and His Voice Alone!!!

I believe with all my heart that The LORD is now moving on hearts and opening eyes to reveal all the things that are not of Him or of His Will, so that they can be removed from the path.


There is no separating the Abiding Presence of The LORD with His Plans and Purposes being accomplished through faithfully answering our prayers with great power that makes the wicked shrink and the righteous shout for joy!!!!!!





Exodus 23:20

New Living Translation (NLT)


 “See, I am sending an angel before you to protect you on your journey and lead you safely to the place I have prepared for you.

Then times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord, and he will again send you Jesus, your appointed Messiah.

The Coming Glory of God’s House

In the seventh month, on the twenty-first of the month, the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, saying:“Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying: 

‘Who is left among you who saw this temple in its former glory? And how do you see it now? In comparison with it, is this not in your eyes as nothing? Yet now be strong, Zerubbabel,’ says the Lord; ‘and be strong, Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all you people of the land,’ says the Lord, ‘and work; for I am with you,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘According to the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, so My Spirit remains among you; do not fear!’

“For thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land;and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘And in this place I will give peace,’ says the Lord of hosts.”




John 15:7

New King James Version (NKJV)
If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will[a] ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.




John 14

New King James Version (NKJV)


1“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.”


Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

“If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”

Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”


Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.


12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.


15 “If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.


19 “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. 20 At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. 21 He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”

22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?”

23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.


25 “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 


28 You have heard Me say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ for My Father is greater than I.


29 “And now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe. 30 I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me. 31 But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave Me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go from here.

Do Not Fear/Be Ready to Help.....Day 18


 

1 Corinthians 16:13-14 (NLT)


Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong.  And do everything with love.




I have a word in my heart this morning.


Do not fear
Do not get entangled in the world’s battle
Do not join the broken chorus of clamor and noise
Do not look with just the eyes of your mind or even heart

Be ready to Help
Be ready to be Hospitable
Be ready to Care
Be ready to Love
Be ready to Hold
Be ready to Comfort

Hatred is of The World
Chaos is of The World

We are to be The  Light
We are to be a Place of Peace

In Christ there is No Distinction
We are One Race
We are One People
Of One Spirit
Serving One God

We are The Body of Christ
The Hands Of God
The Voice of God

The Lord Jesus is working with us
Empowering us
Strengthening us
Providing for us
Guiding us

I plead with you
I beg of you
I would take out my own heart and show you if I could

Do not fear
Do not get entangled in the world’s battle
Do not join the broken chorus of clamor and noise
Do not look with just the eyes of your mind or even heart
Look with The Eyes of Christ



Psalm 27:13  (NLT)


Wait patiently for the Lord.
Be brave and courageous.
Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.

 

Job 11:13-20 (NLT)


“If only you would prepare your heart
and lift up your hands to him in prayer!
Get rid of your sins,
and leave all iniquity behind you.

Then your face will brighten with innocence.
You will be strong and free of fear.
You will forget your misery;
it will be like water flowing away.
Your life will be brighter than the noonday.
Even darkness will be as bright as morning.
Having hope will give you courage.
You will be protected and will rest in safety.
You will lie down unafraid,
and many will look to you for help.
But the wicked will be blinded.
They will have no escape.
Their only hope is death.”


Isaiah 28:5-6 (NLT)


Then at last the Lord of Heaven’s Armies
will himself be Israel’s glorious crown.


He will be the pride and joy
of the remnant of his people.


 He will give a longing for justice
to their judges.



He will give great courage
to their warriors who stand at the gates.


 

James 5 (NLT)

 

Warning to the Rich

Look here, you rich people: Weep and groan with anguish because of all the terrible troubles ahead of you. Your wealth is rotting away, and your fine clothes are moth-eaten rags. Your gold and silver have become worthless. The very wealth you were counting on will eat away your flesh like fire. This treasure you have accumulated will stand as evidence against you on the day of judgment. For listen! Hear the cries of the field workers whom you have cheated of their pay. The wages you held back cry out against you. The cries of those who harvest your fields have reached the ears of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
You have spent your years on earth in luxury, satisfying your every desire. You have fattened yourselves for the day of slaughter. You have condemned and killed innocent peopl who do not resist you.

Patience and Endurance

Dear brothers and sisters, be patient as you wait for the Lord’s return. Consider the farmers who patiently wait for the rains in the fall and in the spring. They eagerly look for the valuable harvest to ripen. You, too, must be patient. Take courage, for the coming of the Lord is near.
Don’t grumble about each other, brothers and sisters, or you will be judged. For look—the Judge is standing at the door!
10 For examples of patience in suffering, dear brothers and sisters, look at the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. 11 We give great honor to those who endure under suffering. For instance, you know about Job, a man of great endurance. You can see how the Lord was kind to him at the end, for the Lord is full of tenderness and mercy.
12 But most of all, my brothers and sisters, never take an oath, by heaven or earth or anything else. Just say a simple yes or no, so that you will not sin and be condemned.

The Power of Prayer

13 Are any of you suffering hardships? You should pray. Are any of you happy? You should sing praises. 14 Are any of you sick? You should call for the elders of the church to come and pray over you, anointing you with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 Such a prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make you well. And if you have committed any sins, you will be forgiven.
16 Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. 17 Elijah was as human as we are, and yet when he prayed earnestly that no rain would fall, none fell for three and a half years! 18 Then, when he prayed again, the sky sent down rain and the earth began to yield its crops.

Restore Wandering Believers

19 My dear brothers and sisters, if someone among you wanders away from the truth and is brought back, 20 you can be sure that whoever brings the sinner back will save that person from death and bring about the forgiveness of many sins.
