The Lord Love YOU. Yes YOU!



The Lord wants YOU to know that He Loves YOU. No matter who you are, He wants to show His LOVE for YOU. No matter where you find yourself today, He has reached out to YOU, through Jesus, and showed His Love for YOU by sacrificing all of Himself.

You can come before Him and receive His free gift of salvation.

Believe in YOUR HEART and confess with YOUR mouth: "Jesus Is Lord"!

Stop putting yourself down and thinking you are nothing in this world. He is waiting with open arms to receive you as a Kings Child!


Romans 8



 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

Choose Your Weapons Wisely 2



He has promised some things in His Word. We must know His Promises, Believe His Word, and stand for them. This Psalm is reverberating in my spirit. He hears the cry of the poor and oppressed! He sees the people of North Korea. He sees the people who are bound by the devils lies. He sees all those who are both spiritually and naturally bound.

He will reveal His Mighty Arm!


Psalm 9
Amplified Bible (AMP)


I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will show forth (recount and tell aloud) all Your marvelous works and wonderful deeds!

I will rejoice in You and be in high spirits; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High!

When my enemies turned back, they stumbled and perished before You.

For You have maintained my right and my cause; You sat on the throne judging righteously.

You have rebuked the nations, You have destroyed the wicked; You have blotted out their name forever and ever.

The enemy have been cut off and have vanished in everlasting ruins, You have plucked up and overthrown their cities; the very memory of them has perished and vanished.

But the Lord shall remain and continue forever; He has prepared and established His throne for judgment.

And He will judge the world in righteousness (rightness and equity); He will minister justice to the peoples in uprightness.

The Lord also will be a refuge and a high tower for the oppressed, a refuge and a stronghold in times of trouble (high cost, destitution, and desperation).

And they who know Your name [who have experience and acquaintance with Your mercy] will lean on and confidently put their trust in You, for You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek (inquire of and for) You [on the authority of God’s Word and the right of their necessity].

Sing praises to the Lord, Who dwells in Zion! Declare among the peoples His doings!

For He Who avenges the blood [of His people shed unjustly] remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the afflicted (the poor and the humble).

Have mercy upon me and be gracious to me, O Lord; consider how I am afflicted by those who hate me, You Who lift me up from the gates of death,

That I may show forth (recount and tell aloud) all Your praises! In the gates of the Daughter of Zion I will rejoice in Your salvation and Your saving help.

The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made; in the net which they hid is their own foot caught.

The Lord has made Himself known; He executes judgment; the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. Higgaion [meditation]. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

The wicked shall be turned back [headlong into premature death] into Sheol (the place of the departed spirits of the wicked), even all the nations that forget or are forgetful of God.

For the needy shall not always be forgotten, and the expectation and hope of the meek and the poor shall not perish forever.

Arise, O Lord! Let not man prevail; let the nations be judged before You.

Put them in fear [make them realize their frail nature], O Lord, that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!



James 5

New King James Version (NKJV)

 Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you! Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have heaped up treasure in the last days. Indeed the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.You have lived on the earth in pleasure and luxury; you have fattened your hearts as in a day of slaughter. You have condemned, you have murdered the just; he does not resist you.

 Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain. You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

Do not grumble against one another, brethren, lest you be condemned. Behold, the Judge is standing at the door! My brethren, take the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord, as an example of suffering and patience. Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord—that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.

 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.

Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.

Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.

Choose Your Weapons Wisely




In the days ahead we must learn to choose our weapons wisely.


There are many Christians that are playing into the enemys' hand by how they are speaking and behaving concerning current events.

We pledge our allegiance to ONE and no other. Jesus is LORD.


 


2 Corinthians 10:4-5

New King James Version (NKJV)
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,


Hebrews 4:12

Amplified Bible (AMP)


For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the [a]breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.




Psalm 20:5-9

New King James Version (NKJV)


We will rejoice in your salvation,

And in the name of our God we will set up our banners!
May the Lord fulfill all your petitions.


Now I know that the Lord saves His anointed;

He will answer him from His holy heaven
With the saving strength of His right hand.


Some trust in chariots, and some in horses;

But we will remember the name of the Lord our God.

They have bowed down and fallen;

But we have risen and stand upright.


Save, Lord!

May the King answer us when we call.



Isaiah 31:1

New Living Translation (NLT)


What sorrow awaits those who look to Egypt for help,

trusting their horses, chariots, and charioteers
and depending on the strength of human armies
instead of looking to the Lord,
the Holy One of Israel.


Jeremiah 39:17-18

New King James Version (NKJV)


But I will deliver you in that day,” says the Lord, “and you shall not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid. For I will surely deliver you, and you shall not fall by the sword; but your life shall be as a prize to you, because you have put your trust in Me,” says the Lord.’”

Here We Go!!!!



A confession came to my heart today, during a time of prayer, driving around a large lake here in Upstate New York. It is a drive I take when I just have to get away from everything. It is roughly a 45-50 mile drive I think, and besides taking a walk at a local nature center here, it is my favorite prayer place.

"The Lord has anointed us with The Holy Spirit and Power, so that through us, He is continuing to go about doing good and healing all who are oppressed and harassed of the devil, for God is with us."

You can,as I did today put those you are praying for into this confession of faith.

"The Lord has anointed Abundant Life Christian Center, her leaders and her people, with The Holy Spirit and Power, so that through us, He is continuing to go about doing Good and Healing all who are oppressed and harassed of the devil, for God is with us"

Notice that The Lord never stopped His Ministry after His ascension. Matter of fact, the miracles and power we see demonstrated come from Him. We are just vessels for Him to operate through. 

There are countless scriptures I could use, but these came to my heart.

Just a side note from my drive. I passed a sign that said:
"PLEASE IGNORE GOD, THEN BLAME HIM FOR THE CHAOS THAT RESULTS"
Interesting, not related, but interesting.
 



          Isaiah 42:1-5

             New International Version (NIV)

“Here is my servant, whom I uphold,
    my chosen one in whom I delight;
I will put my Spirit on him,
    and he will bring justice to the nations.
 He will not shout or cry out,
    or raise his voice in the streets.
 A bruised reed he will not break,
    and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out.
In faithfulness he will bring forth justice;
     he will not falter or be discouraged
till he establishes justice on earth.
    In his teaching the islands will put their hope.”

This is what God the Lord says—

the Creator of the heavens, who stretches them out,
    who spreads out the earth with all that springs from it,
    who gives breath to its people,
    and life to those who walk on it:



           Luke 4:18-19

              New International Version (NIV)
 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
    because he has anointed me
    to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
    and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free,

19     to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.


Mark 16:15-20

New International Version (NIV)
 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;  they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”
 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God.  Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.


Acts 10:38

New International Version (NIV)
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.



Acts 3:1-7

New International Version (NIV)

One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon. Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts. When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money. Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, “Look at us!” So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them.

Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong.



Acts 14:3

New International Version (NIV)

So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, who confirmed the message of his grace by enabling them to perform signs and wonders.

Revolution in World Missions- One Man's Journey to Change a Generation!



I wanted to share the first few words of this book. We need this type of presence in America so that we can be a light to those bound by lies and deception:


 The silence of the great hall in Cochin was broken only by soft, choking sobs. The Spirit of God was moving over the room with awesome power-convicting of sin and calling men and women into His service. Before the meeting ended, 120 of the 1,200 Pastors and Christian Leaders present made their way to the alter, responding to the "call of the North".

They were not saying, "I'm willing to go," but rather "I am going."

 They made the choice to leave home,village and family,business or career and go where they would be hated and feared. Meanwhile, another 600 Pastors pledged to return to their congregations and raise up more missionaries who would leave South India and go to The North.

I stood silently in the holy hush, praying for the earnest pastors crowded around the alter. I was humbled by the presence of God. As I prayed my heart ached for these men. How many would be beaten and go hungry or be cold and lonely in the years ahead? How many would sit in jails for their faith? I prayed for the blessing and protection of God on them-and for more sponsors across the seas to stand with them.

They were leaving the material comforts,family ties and personal ambitions. Ahead lie a new life among strangers.............

Help Is Coming 2





Below are some of the poems/songs I mention.




You Can't Tell Me!


You cant cause me, to run today
You can't cause me, to quit today

You can't keep me, in bed today
You can't tell me, nothin' matters anyway

Because I got The Spirit, of The Lord
I've got The Spirit, of The Lord

You cant stop me, in my walk today
You can't tell me, to run away

You can't force me, to frown and cry
You won't tell me, that I should just die

Because I got The Spirit, of The Lord
I've got The Spirit, of The Lord

Because I got The Spirit, of The Lord
I've got The Spirit, of The Lord

I will stand up, and allow my soul to release
I will face the world, with His Joy and PEACE

I will walk with Him, through the heat of pain
I will call for him ,and He will send me His rain

Because I got The Spirit, of The Lord
I've got The Spirit, of The Lord

Because I got The Spirit, of The Lord
I've got The Spirit, of The Lord

You cant cause me, to run today
You can't cause me, to quit today

You can't keep me, in bed today
You can't tell me, nothin' matters anyway

Because I got The Spirit, of The Lord
I've got The Spirit, of The Lord.....

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:

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.

This is the purpose that is purposed against the whole earth,
And this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.

For the LORD of hosts has purposed,
And who will annul it?
His hand is stretched out,
And who will turn it back?”

Nothing Can Take Our Victory. When We Abide In Christ!



Nothing can take our victory in Christ when we abide in His presence
Problems are not burdensome
They are only challenges
Resistances that will help you build strong faith.

Weaknesses are not defeats
They are just battlegrounds
That will build character
And trust in the grace of God.

Setbacks, temptations and attacks
Can’t steal your joy
They are just opportunities for testimonies.

Who is the deliverer of your soul?
Who has given you the victory?
Who has brought you this far?
Will he leave you behind?
Will He leave you without victory?
Will He abandon His word?
Will He leave His children unprotected?
Will He not keep His promises?

He is worthy of all trust, worship and honor.
He can be relied upon to do all He has said in His Word.
He is always willing to meet the expectation of Faith in His promises

Problems are not burdensome
They are only challenges
Resistances that will help you build strong faith.

Weaknesses are not defeats
They are just battlegrounds
That will build characterAnd trust in the grace of God.

Setbacks, temptations and attacks
Can’t steal your joy
They are just opportunities for testimonies

======================================


Declare!

When you feel like the children of Israel
Pressed against The Red Sea!
This is what the declaration
Of your mouth needs to be!

That Jesus Christ Is Lord, over all The Earth
And by His mighty hand, your deliverance will be birthed

He is your saviour, your God, your Lord
He is your Father, who is watching diligently over His WORD!

He loves you more, than your human heart can understand
He has paid the price, with His Blood, so you could inherit HIS Land!

He has given you all things freely
That pertain to this life

He has given you Faith and Joy
To replace Fear and Strife

There is only one thing that
You must be diligent to do

That is to open your mouth BOLDLY
And DECLARE HIS WORD TO BE TRUE!

Look at bondage
And declare I am free

Look at blindness
And declare I can see!

Look at fear
And declare I am full of Faith!

Look at depression
And declare strength for the race

Then look away from the problem
And to His Glorious Throne

For in Truth and in Spirit
That is your true Home

And say

I am not weak
But strengthened with ALL MIGHT
According To His POWER
I AM WAGING AND WINNING THE GOOD FIGHT!

I AM NOT SICK
BUT THE HEALED OF THE LORD

THE HEAD AND NOT THE TAIL
I HAVE FULL FAITH IN HIS WORD!

I AM NOT FULL OF SIN
BUT WASHED CLEAN BY THE BLOOD

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS MY HELPER
EVEN AS THE ENEMY IS COMING LIKE A FLOOD

So say with me, with a shout from your heart
Say it boldly, say it loud, tear the enemy's lies apart!

I am a child of Light
A new creature in Christ!
I am Born Again, Blood Bought
And full of Power and Might!

I am the head and not the tail
Above only and not beneath
I have on His Mighty Armour
His all powerful SWORD in my sheath

In Him, I stand strong
In Him, I stand Tall
For He who keeps me
IS LORD OF ALL

I AM FREE
I AM FREE
I AM FREE
AND IN HIM WILL FOREVER BE!

==========================================


The MASTERS COMMAND

Even if the storm doesn't calm right away.
If you are bound to HIS WILL,

You will navigate the rough waters just fine!

But thanks be to God,
That we do indeed have The Master in us and for us!

And at His Word, and His Name,
The wind and the enemy must clear the way for The Will of The LORD!

Praise The Name of Jesus!!!

Even if the sound of the wind
And the smashing of the waves
Causes you to cry out to The LORD
He is a Loving and Powerful God
And His Spirit will rise up within you
And command the enemy and the wind
To clear the way for The Will of The Lord!!
Praise The Name Of Jesus!!!

So remember when the winds
Of circumstances begin to blow
And the buffeting waves
Of the enemy's lies begin to flow
Jesus Christ your LORD
Is in command of your boat!
And you will arrive

At HIS INTENDED DESTINATION!
Praise The Name Of Jesus!!!!

======================================

FAITH,LOVE,POWER,MIGHT

Jesus,The Way,The Truth, and The Light
Giving us all the power to live,The New Creation Life

Faith,Love and The Blood
Power, Authority and The Holy Spirits Flood

Oh how wonderful is the love of Christ
A love that produces power and might.
Jesus, Jesus, oh the power in that name
Every knee must bow, every opposing force, becomes lame

When the enemy comes in like a flood
His attack is dried up, by The name, and The Blood

Praise the name of Jesus, He is worthy
Praise Him until your eyes see the victory
Praise Him when the night seems long
Praise Him until those feeble limbs are strong
Praise Him for The Blood He shed
Praise Him and declare, all the works of sin, to be dead!

It can't be expressed with words alone
So, with The Blood, and with praise, approach His Throne
Stand in the presence of The Lamb that was slain
And in the presence of The Father who will strengthen you again

Praise Him at His throne of glory and grace
There He will give an abundance to win this race

Jesus,Jesus,Jesus...Thank You
Jesus,Jesus,Jesus...Thank You

Labor of Prayer


I am always amazed at people who don't think others are hard, diligent workers, just because they do a different type of work. For the hard working intercessors and ministers of prayer out there: Take Epaphras as your example, he gets two mentions in the living breathing Word of God for his hard work. Paul goes out of his way to "vouch" for his hard work of prayer through which he labored with and for The Saints.


He sees your labor, and even though it is a work that The Modern Church does not recognize as being of much natural value, stay faithful and full of passion, He will reward you in the natural for what you have done in secret.

The Name Of Jesus!!!



We could learn something from our Jewish Heritage about honoring The Name of God. They would not even pronounce His name out of the deep respect and awe they had for it. We have cheapened the name of God, belittled into a marketing tool. We have plastered it on cups and t-shirts, tattoos and socks. People put it in a Superman logo as if He was some sort of cartoon character.


We have indeed used His Holy Name in vain.

The Name of Jesus encompasses all the names of God. He has been given the name above all names. His name is Holy, Mighty and has all Authority and Power in Heaven and Earth.

We need a revelation of this again. We need to see why His name was feared by devils on the lips of believers, that were operating in The Power of The Holy Spirit, yet ignored by devils, when used by those who did so,  for their own purposes and religious endeavors.

(If you are not born again, you have no right to His Name)


All miracles and ministry should have one purpose to bring glory and Honor to The Name of Jesus.

Acts 19:11-17
New King James Version (NKJV)

Miracles Glorify Christ

 Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, 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.

 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.”  Also there were seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did so.

And the evil spirit answered and said, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?”

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. 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.

Press Forward In Prayer



The type of prayer, I love, is that of a bulldozer or earth mover. I begin to pray in tongues with my spiritual eyes, and face, set like flint toward the future.


As I press in, The Lord will give glimpses, words, pieces of a puzzle to pray out. I see those prayers and those declarations as bulldozers and earth movers, clearing the way before us, The Church, a particular minister or whatever The Spirit is hitting on.

The way is cleared, as we pray in The Spirit, even as we don't know how to pray as we ought. The Holy Spirit joins in our labor, of prayer, and causes all things to work together, and come together, for us in our future and the future of those we intercede for.

Even if not one word in English is spoken, praying in tongues with our spirits pressing forward, causes Gods will to be done on earth as it is in heaven.

God Himself, through His Holy Spirit speaks forth His Plans and Purposes into The Earth. There is a level of prayer that every Church and extension of The Church needs in these last days.

There is an anointing that some carry to press their way into some things, to declare some things. Some carry a higher level of Authority and The Anointing of The Prophet. God has given them as gifts to The Body of Christ for the equipping of the saints, so they may do the work of  The Ministry even in dark places and as the world turns dark.

The Prophet in this type of ministry may come along the other Ministry Gifts to aid them in Prayer.

Their ministry needs to be that of service to The Body. The greater heart they have for the people and The Church, the greater their anointing and authority will be.
We must have both The Power of God and The Manifold Wisdom of God being demonstrated though us.



Romans 8:26-28(AMP)

 So 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.

 And 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.

 We 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.
