The Importance of Spiritual Focus
The importance of Spiritual Focus can not be overstated in these days of trouble on the earth.
Christians must make a decision, a real decision, to purposefully focus their heart, mind and spirit on The Lord.
The world, and even sometimes the occult, has tainted and perverted the idea of Spiritual Power coming from the spirit of man. However spiritual focus and power are very real and I would say required by The Lord in order to fulfill The Great Commission.
Jesus on several occasions linked The Power of The Holy Spirit and the Power of Faith in a person, both believer and potential believer, with fulfilling His purpose and plan on The Earth. (See Matt 15:18/Matt9:29/Mark 16/2 Timothy 1:5/1 Peter 5:9/Rev 2:13-19)
There are many ,many more verses that that make it abundantly clear that, Our Faith/Your Faith, is the key to all that God does through us and in us on this earth. (See ACTS 1:8)
The people of God in the Old Testament were reminded to lift up the name of God continually. They were commanded to declare That God is Good and His Mercy Endures Forever. They did not have The Holy Spirit living in them to be their Comforter and Stand By.
They did not have Him reminding them who they were, who God is, and how He had a plan and a purpose for them. They needed The Prophets to remind them, they needed ritual and traditions to remind them.
They didn't have rivers of living water flowing through them to refresh them, like we do. They didn't have a Living Faith, renewed and refreshed daily by The Holy Spirit of Jehovah!
We have all these things yet we still need set our focus, especially in the days ahead.
Listen my friend. God has deposited in you something greater than any of us can imagine. Even if your circumstances are hard and all the "prosperity" that The Western Church has over emphasized has not come into manifestation, that does not weaken, or lessen, The Power and Ability The Lord has placed within His Children.
However our faith will make the difference between whether or not we access it.
The intensity of the focus of our Faith in His Word, applied to specific situations that He has laid upon our hearts, will determine the level at which HE receives Glory to His Name.
I am not talking about mountain moving faith. That is a generalization that has been overused to the point it has lost its punch. I am talking about specific, focused, laser like faith that makes impossible tasks: possible, that causes impassable barricades to be demolished, and impenetrable walls of protection to be erected around churches and believers.
What is it that God has put on your heart continually that you have put off to "someday"?
What is it that Your LORD has poked you about and tugged at your faith for, that you have not dared to believe for or speak out?
What really bothers you that you know bothers God? But, because no one else seems to be addressing it, you haven't pressed through in prayer to get direction or see change in it?
I have a few things. Some I have not pressed in on. Some I have let go, because of what seems to be a lack of success, in using my faith, to receive for myself and my family.
Disappointment has taken many strong ones down.
I will share something that The Lord will not let me drop. I know with all my heart that The Lord wants to demonstrate His Dominion through His Church and His People. I know He wants to demonstrate His Omnipresence and His Omnipotence through His People and His Church. I know it. I have faith that He wants to, that He will need to, in order to fulfill His Plan in these last days.
I am talking about translations like with Philip. I am talking about signs and wonders, not just healing. Closed nations swept with The Gospel with no Martyrs, Christians walking through the midst of their attackers, not being seen. Would be killers blinded and confused. Armies turning on themselves. The most broken minds and souls renewed, restored and refreshed with wisdom.
There are more than sufficient examples in The Word ,both Old and New Testament, to give us an arsenal of promises to believe for in these troubling times.
Both in The Old and the New Testament people were raised from the dead.
Jesus gave us two examples so that we would have no excuse to say, that isn't possible. The Madman of the Gadarenes and Lazareth. We can have faith that God will heal even the most broken body. Lazareth was dead for days, his body already rotting, yet Jesus looked up to Heaven gave glory to God and Lazareth was restored to wholeness.
We can believe for the most broken body to be healed, even unto the most crippled, even unto death. But it will not just happen, we must have focused, real faith for it.
The man with the Legion is an example of The All Powerful Authority of Jesus. No matter what demonic or mentally ill challenge is set before us in ministering Gods Love and Grace, we have no excuse to think for a moment that it is not possible. There is no mental illness that can not be destroyed. There is no demonic possession that can not be driven out and there is no filth or brokenness of man, that can not be restored and made perfectly clean and whole!!!!!!
Oh, but it will take your faith, partnering with The Holy Spirit in you. And a determination that God will do what He says He will do!
Will you be called to walk in all these things. I don't know, probably not. But you know that there are things God has prepared you for. You know there are things that The Holy Spirit keeps laying on your heart. You know there are impossible situations that He has drawn your attention, to over and over.
They may not seem to be on such a grand scale as taking the nations, but if He is trying to get you to fully operate in faith, and APPLY that faith continually, in that area He keeps showing you, then it may be, scratch that, IT IS a key component to Him getting His Word, His Power and His Name into that situation.
I pray that The Holy Spirit will open the eyes of your understanding, and mine, so that we can fully operate in, and apply our Faith so that His Power can be released!!
May His Will can be done, so that His NAME will receive glory on Earth as it is in Heaven!!

History/Future
This hymn by Arthur Cleveland Coxe from 1839, has been strong in my spirit. I can sense the great displeasure of The Lord with The Kings and Rulers of The Earth.
I believe in my heart that this hymn WAS Historical and IS Prophetic.
O where are kings and empires now
Of old, that went and came?
But Lord, thy Church is praying yet,
A thousand years the same.
We mark her goodly battlements
And her foundations strong;
We hear, within, the solemn voice
Of her unending song.
For not like kingdoms of the world
Thy holy Church, O God,
Though earthquake shocks are threatening her,
And tempests are abroad.
Unshaken as eternal hills,
immovable she stands,
A mountain that shall fill the earth,
A house not made by hands.
Arthur Cleveland Coxe, 1839

Says it all! Psalm 112
Psalm 112
New King James Version (NKJV)
Praise the Lord!
Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
Who delights greatly in His commandments.
His descendants will be mighty on earth;
The generation of the upright will be blessed.
Wealth and riches will be in his house,
And his righteousness endures forever.
Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness;
He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
A good man deals graciously and lends;
He will guide his affairs with discretion.
Surely he will never be shaken;
The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance.
He will not be afraid of evil tidings;
His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
His heart is established;
He will not be afraid,
Until he sees his desire upon his enemies.
He has dispersed abroad,
He has given to the poor;
His righteousness endures forever;
His horn will be exalted with honor.
The wicked will see it and be grieved;
He will gnash his teeth and melt away;
The desire of the wicked shall perish

Some of My Thoughts, The Word and Quotes
"Be an Armour Bearer to The Leaders you serve!! Time for The Body to serve The Church and Fulfill God Plan on Earth as it is in Heaven! If you don't have a leader you can serve with your full heart, find one." RF
"The Ministry of Prayer for The Church Locally, and Universally, MUST be led and empowered by The Holy Spirit. Only He knows Gods Full Plan!! " RF
"Prayer is so much more than any book or article can explain. God has hidden The Power of His word in Spirit Led Prayer. " RF
"Jesus is LORD over all The Earth. All Authority in Heaven and Earth belong to Him. His Arm has not been shortened and His Hand has not been weakened!! Who will tell Him to draw His Hand back! Who will tell Him that He cant fulfill His Word? He shall do as He pleases. And it pleases Him to prosper, heal and empower His People!" RF
"If we don't care enough to intercede on behalf of the church that is in the drought areas of the nation; We will not care enough, or be prepared to be a sanctuary for the ones that need to escape." RF
ISAIAH!!!
Behold, the Lord makes the earth empty and makes it waste,
Distorts its surface
And scatters abroad its inhabitants.
And it shall be:
As with the people, so with the priest;
As with the servant, so with his master;
As with the maid, so with her mistress;
As with the buyer, so with the seller;
As with the lender, so with the borrower;
As with the creditor, so with the debtor.
"Satan tries to hinder prayer because prayer hinders Satan" R.Bonnke
"If you are not willing to die for what is in the Bible, you should not give money for Bibles. Because if you give, we will smuggle more Bibles. And if we smuggle more Bibles, there will be more martyrs." ~Pastor Richard Wurmbrand

Do You See? Update W/Scripture
A Lighthouse In a Storm
A Siren That Warns
A Roaring Of The Sea
A Shaking Of All That Be
Read the Scripture below from a place in the spirit. The Lord is speaking to us in these verses. Time is short, take your place of prayer and service.
Isaiah 24
New King James Version (NKJV)Impending Judgment on the Earth
Behold, the Lord makes the earth empty and makes it waste,
Distorts its surface
And scatters abroad its inhabitants.
And it shall be:
As with the people, so with the priest;
As with the servant, so with his master;
As with the maid, so with her mistress;
As with the buyer, so with the seller;
As with the lender, so with the borrower;
As with the creditor, so with the debtor.
The land shall be entirely emptied and utterly plundered,
For the Lord has spoken this word.
The earth mourns and fades away,
The world languishes and fades away;
The haughty people of the earth languish.
The earth is also defiled under its inhabitants,
Because they have transgressed the laws,
Changed the ordinance,
Broken the everlasting covenant.
Therefore the curse has devoured the earth,
And those who dwell in it are desolate.
Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned,
And few men are left.
The new wine fails, the vine languishes,
All the merry-hearted sigh.
The mirth of the tambourine ceases,
The noise of the jubilant ends,
The joy of the harp ceases.
They shall not drink wine with a song;
Strong drink is bitter to those who drink it.
The city of confusion is broken down;
Every house is shut up, so that none may go in.
There is a cry for wine in the streets,
All joy is darkened,
The mirth of the land is gone.
In the city desolation is left,
And the gate is stricken with destruction.
When it shall be thus in the midst of the land among the people,
It shall be like the shaking of an olive tree,
Like the gleaning of grapes when the vintage is done.
They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing;
For the majesty of the Lord
They shall cry aloud from the sea.
Therefore glorify the Lord in the dawning light,
The name of the Lord God of Israel in the coastlands of the sea.
From the ends of the earth we have heard songs:
“Glory to the righteous!”
But I said, “I am ruined, ruined!
Woe to me!
The treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously,
Indeed, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.”
Fear and the pit and the snare
Are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth.
And it shall be
That he who flees from the noise of the fear
Shall fall into the pit,
And he who comes up from the midst of the pit
Shall be caught in the snare;
For the windows from on high are open,
And the foundations of the earth are shaken.
The earth is violently broken,
The earth is split open,
The earth is shaken exceedingly.
The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard,
And shall totter like a hut;
Its transgression shall be heavy upon it,
And it will fall, and not rise again.
It shall come to pass in that day
That the Lord will punish on high the host of exalted ones,
And on the earth the kings of the earth.
They will be gathered together,
As prisoners are gathered in the pit,
And will be shut up in the prison;
After many days they will be punished.
Then the moon will be disgraced
And the sun ashamed;
For the Lord of hosts will reign
On Mount Zion and in Jerusalem
And before His elders, gloriously

Something Stirring??
I have something to say, but I dont know how to say it
I have someplace to go, but I dont know where it is
I have something to do, but I dont know what it is
If only there was a way, to unfold the mysteries this day
Wait!!! There is!!!
Romans 8:26-27
Amplified Bible (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.
So my friends, if these words stir something in your heart:
I have something to say, but I dont know how to say it
I have someplace to go, but I dont know where it is
I have something to do, but I dont know what it is
If they cause your inner man to groan for more of God, more of His Plan for your life.....Then ask and you shall recieve power from on high, to be a witness for Jesus, and to recieve The Power and Help of His Holy Spirit, WITH THE EVIDENCE OF SPEAKING IN OTHER TONGUES!!!!
