Personal Post - Prophetic Declaration
I do not usually make personal post on here, however, I had it in my heart that maybe somebody will read this and be encouraged in their own march.
The first week was kind of tough, but went really well. I like it a lot there. Had to fight through some disappointment of where I ended up after working so long,praying for and sowing for a destination that looked nothing like where I am at. But, when the children of Israel left Egypt, the few stops on the way to the promised land, was not the promised land.
I find myself having to stay focused on the good things. A new job, that is FT and that I have great co-workers at. I am healthy,for the most part, LOL. My wife and kids are happy and healthy, SO LIFE IS GOOD.
I have not given up on the vision The Lord put in my heart. To even think about it is kind of hard, so maybe I will just have to put it on the shelf until He brings it to pass. Even typing this caused me to tear up a bit, but that is that old disappointed, victim mentality.
Bottom line is, God waste nothing. People may not come through for us. They may not be willing to help us where we are in need, although we labor for them where they are in need(BTW that is what covenant relationship is) God sees all, and ultimately, all things work together for Good for those who love God and are called according to His Purposes.
I will someday stand on ground that The Lord has called me to and declare His Kingdom in Power and demonstrations of The Spirit. Not to draw attention to myself, but to Jesus Christ. To declare His Will, while He works with me to confirm The Gospel with accompanying signs. To be a vessel that opens the eyes of those bound by The Devil. To continue His Ministry, not make my own.
Acts 10:34-38 (NKJV)
Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him.
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 16:14-20 (NLT)
Still later he appeared to the eleven disciples as they were eating together. He rebuked them for their stubborn unbelief because they refused to believe those who had seen him after he had been raised from the dead.
And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone. Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned. These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages. They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed.”

Persecuted For The Gospel
You decide what needs to change here and in safe, wealthy nations.
The Missing Prayer of The Crestfallen Warrior
By Randy S Furco
As I looked at our brethren being tortured and killed
My heart grew weary, my soul would not be stilled
I struggled with my heart, and was angry with The Comfortable
How can we rest, while our brethren sufferings, are so horrible
I cried out to God, to give me a prayer, that was not being prayed
To wake up The Body, for the closing of days
Give me the prayer that the saints are missing
Because they are focused on things of man, while the things of God, they are dismissing.
I see a saint being crucified, in the streets
While a pastor dressed like a king, sleeps on gold threaded sheets
I see churches burned down, and poor pastors martyred
While a preacher is broadcasting from his mansion, saying how much he has suffered
So.....
I cried out to God, to give me a prayer, that was not being prayed
To wake up The Body, for the closing of days
Give me the prayer that the saints are missing
Because they are focused on things of man, while the things of God, they are dismissing.
I see a family being burned alive
While a millionaire "prophet" offers a prophecy for 19.95
I see a child weeping in pain
While a minister, orders his servants to remove a carpet stain
So....
I cried out to God, to give me a prayer, that was not being prayed
To wake up The Body, for the closing of days
Give me the prayer that the saints are missing
Because they are focused on things of man, while the things of God, they are dismissing.....
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Holy Spirit help us pray. Only YOU can give us The Prayer that is not being prayed.
ONLY YOU, through that prayer, can stir up your body, making us ready for That Day.
We know according to Your Word that the present suffering is nothing compared to The Glory that will be revealed in us!! Return Quickly Oh LORD!!
Until then, EMPOWER us to Pray The Prayers That Are Not Being Prayed!!!
Romans 8:26-28Amplified Bible (AMP)
26 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.
27 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.
28 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

China Persecution
Pray for your brothers and sisters in Christ!
The Enemy hates what was done on The Cross and The Blood that was shed
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!

Just Follow The Lords Instructions: Simplify
As Jesus hung on The Cross, He could not only see what was before Him in the natural, but also the ages to come. He took upon Himself all the sin, of all men, Jew and Gentile alike, for all time, past,present and future. So, lets just follow His PLAN FOR REACHING MAN.
There is so much out there on how The Church needs to support Israel, and how Christians can reach The Jewish People. There are people with systems and special bibles, with very precise language on how we need to do this or that to reach Israel for Christ. Many of them make it sound like they somehow need a different Gospel than us...This is error.
The Churches role in reaching the lost in Israel is the same as it is in the rest of the world. Go preach The Gospel to every creature in power and demonstrations of The Spirit, not with enticing words and the wisdom of men, as Paul said. Make disciples of all men. The Great Commission was the same for The Jew and Gentile alike. We don't have to make it difficult, that is what the early disciples tried to do and God showed them clearly that The Gospel comes to all men the same.
What Israel needs is not special systems, but called men and women to go there and establish Spirit filled churches that preach The Word and demonstrate that The Kingdom has Come and Jesus Is LORD.
Acts 10:34-48 (NKJV)
34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. 35 But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him. 36 The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all— 37 that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached: 38 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.
39 And we are witnesses of all things which He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they[a] killed by hanging on a tree. 40 Him God raised up on the third day, and showed Him openly, 41 not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, even to us who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead.
42 And He commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is He who was ordained by God to be Judge of the living and the dead. 43 To Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, whoever believes in Him will receive remission of sins.
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. 45 And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. 46 For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God.
Then Peter answered, 47 “Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?” 48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to stay a few days.
Acts 1:8 (NKJV)
8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
ROMANS 10:12
For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him.
Galations 3:28
Galations 3:28
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Colossians 3:11 (NKJV)
11 where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all.

He Came To DESTROY The Works of The Devil
1 John 3:8
He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.
I was reading a news story this morning and saw that a world leader was quoted as saying he wanted to make the situation with ISIS a "manageable problem".
This is not a political post, and I don't know if this leaders words were taken out of context, but either way, those two words opened up my spirit and I felt led to begin typing, it is like a veil was lifted and a message was downloaded into my spirit:
"Manageable Problem", let these two words settle in your heart and mind. ISIS, possibly one of the most evil groups to come on the scene in decades. Unlike the genocidal groups that we have seen in Rwanda,The Sudan and in other countries, the scope and plans of this group seem to reach into all the globe. They are brutal, blood thirsty and seem to have lost all sense of humanity, even for those who follow after the same God as they, and bow before the same "prophet".
They seem intent, like conquerors before them, to take the world for their father the devil, and for a season anyway, have been given an open door and unholy anointing to do so.
They behead and burn alive, all whom they see fit. They have their children hold up the heads of their victims and some even eat the hearts of the dead.
They are driven and under the sway of Satan. They are evil incarnate, they are the great evil spoken of by the prophets and priest throughout the Word of God.
They will never be anything resembling a "manageable problem".
We can see, through this error in thinking, so many things. The thoughts and thinking processes of modern day man, and unfortunately far too many churches, has been that sin and evil are manageable problems.
How many great evils have been born by trying to make the sin in mans heart and the darkness of mans spirit a manageable problem?
Abortion is a result of trying to make sin a manageable problem. Prisons,Drugs,Pornography are all mans attempts at making sin a manageable problem.
Lets take it straight to the Church though, because we are the only ones that carry the message that The World needs. Our Great Commission is to take The Gospel, to all The World. We have been given the message that this great evil we see, that the sin we see in the world, has been dealt with. We are called to declare and DEMONSTRATE, through The Power of The Holy Spirit and in The Name of Jesus, that The Devil has been defeated.
Unfortunately, instead of demonstrating the devils defeat, and moving in The Power of The Gospel, many of us have opted to try and make sin a manageable problem. Many Churches are nothing more than places where soft messages,motivational speeches and fun activities, try and cover the seriousness and eternal consequences of rejecting the Gospel, by making the pain in mans heart a manageable problem.
Jesus didn't come to make The Devil a manageable problem and the devil knew it. The devil didn't mind religion and even really good,holy people all to much, because they only had systems and programs in place to make him a manageable problem. They didn't threaten him and his minions in the least. They could stay hidden, go about their business of destruction and pain, and there was no one to stop them, no one to challenge them.
However, when Jesus came on the scene, anointed by God, with The Holy Spirit and Power, on a mission to go about doing good and healing all who were oppressed and harassed of the devil, then the devil and his demons knew that no longer was God allowing The Kingdom of Darkness to be a manageable problem in the world, but that He sent His own Son to DESTROY the works of the devil!!! Praise God!!!
When you look at the ministry of Christ and the template we are given in The Book Of ACTS on what effect The Gospel should have when taken into all The World, I want you to consider what reaction it got from the wicked and the devils kingdom. The reaction and the demonstration of The Spirit changed when The Gospel that Jesus commissioned us to carry, was being preached, in faith that Jesus came to confront and DESTROY the works of the devil, not make them a manageable problem.
There is a reason I am beating this point home. The reason the devil has had free reign in so many places and cities, and sadly a growing number of churches, is because we have not confronted his kingdom, in faith, with The Gospel, The Whole Gospel, but instead have built sanctuaries where we try teach men and women how to manage their problem with sin.
If you want to be part of what The Lord is longing to do right now, then put away the books on 7 steps to a great marriage, 12 steps to a growing church, 400 steps to be free from trouble. Get on your face before God and pray. Instead of going to sit in cars you can't afford right now trying to build faith to afford one, look at the pain around you, look at the conditions of the walls of Jerusalem(the church) and cry out to God for the faith to take His message of the enemies defeat into your world. See yourself being His hands extended setting the captives free, healing the sick, casting out devils and proclaiming freedom to all who are oppressed.
Don't do this light heartily , don't do it without at least one like minded, person with you. Don't go into the fight of faith without a deep, close relationship with The Lord. Because, just like the Disciples who set the template for us, when we as a Body, begin to strip off all that we have built up to try and make the kingdom of darkness a manageable problem, and begin to crash against the gates of hell with the Gospel of Power, there is going to be a reaction. Devils will cry out, the possessed and oppressed will be brought to our door steps and the sick, even through our roofs.
The religious will cast us out and the comfortable will mock and persecute.
Oh but we will rejoice, that finally The Full Gospel has been restored, and once again the kingdom of darkness and even the earth is shaking at the name of Jesus and the presence of God in and on His People. The joy of salvation from the devil death grip will rise up within us and spread to those around us.
SO BE IT !!
Acts 10:34-48 (NKJV)
34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. 35 But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him. 36 The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all— 37 that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached:38 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. 39 And we are witnesses of all things which He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they killed by hanging on a tree. 40 Him God raised up on the third day, and showed Him openly, 41 not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, even to us who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead. 42 And He commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is He who was ordained by God to be Judge of the living and the dead. 43 To Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, whoever believes in Him will receive remission of sins.”

Hebrews 2:14-15Good News Translation (GNT)
14 Since the children, as he calls them, are people of flesh and blood, Jesus himself became like them and shared their human nature. He did this so that through his death he might destroy the Devil, who has the power over death, 15 and in this way set free those who were slaves all their lives because of their fear of death.
1 John 3:8(AMP)
8 [But] he who commits sin [who practices evildoing] is of the devil [takes his character from the evil one], for the devil has sinned (violated the divine law) from the beginning. The reason the Son of God was made manifest (visible) was to undo (destroy, loosen, and dissolve) the works the devil [has done].
Mark 16:14-20 (NKJV)
14 Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. 15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
19 So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.

Time Of War
Soon the wicked, that parade around, like they have such power and might
Will be hiding in the rocks, trembling with fright.
Whether you are a terrorist, a gang banger, or from a violent Outlaw MC
You will soon be brought low, as you in terror, bow your knee.
For The Lord shall return with a mighty shout
With war and righteousness He shall weed the wicked and violent out.
He shall destroy and remove all that offends
The innocent that you are terrorizing, He shall defend.
And The Blood of The Saints He shall Avenge!!
Revelation 6:9-11 (NKJV)
9 When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” 11 Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.
Revelation 19:11-16 (NLT)
