Build The Fences

"Oh Build The Fence for things that are coming must be kept out. Set The Ramparts and station The Watchman. But above all, build the fence."

"Digging post holes/ setting a fence is labor intensive. We must labor in prayer. We must watch where we set our words. We must align our hearts."

"The Lord has works He longs to do through His people, but His people are to distracted to hear. They wont receive it until they have no choice!"





Nahum 2:1

Your enemy is coming to crush you, Nineveh. Man the ramparts! Watch the roads! Prepare your defenses! Call out your forces!


Habakkuk 2:1


I will stand my watch And set myself on the rampart, And watch to see what He will say to me, And what I will answer when I am corrected.


Isaiah 21:6


Meanwhile, the Lord said to me,
“Put a watchman on the city wall.
    Let him shout out what he sees.



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

In My Father's Kitchen    

Take Knee Soldier!

(This post is a mix of an old post on this blog, a Facebook post I did the other day, and a Painting that brought them together)

I watched a movie the other day that kind of bombed in The Box Office, but I liked a lot. It has some really great examples of how we can be led by The Holy Spirit and what to do when we seem to be under siege of the enemy and circumstances.

The Movie was "After Earth". I highly suggest it for every prayer warrior and person of faith. I don't want to give too much away for those who have not seen it, but I do feel led to mention two main aspects of the movie that we can use in our walk and our battles of faith.

One is how the main Character explains FEAR. How fear is an irrational thought of a future event that may or may not happen. That fear is a choice. Danger may be very real, but fear is a choice.

 He teaches the one he is watching over to be in the moment, not to think about what is ahead, or what may happen, but to know his surroundings now, and that takes me to the next, and most important thing we can learn from this movie: 

Take a Knee.

He tells the one, he is watching over, that when he is getting scared, when danger seems to be overcoming him, when emotions are winning out, to Take A Knee, calm down, take an inventory of himself. 

He asks him: 

Is he injured? 

What tools and weapons does he have at his disposal? 

What are his immediate surroundings? 

What mistakes would be avoided, what would we have not run from. In one part of the movie as the main character is watching his son run from something, he has to yell at him to "Take A Knee".

He yells "You are running from NOTHING, There is NOTHING chasing you! Take A Knee!"

I shared the picture because it struck my heart when I saw it. This picture brings back some powerful memories of a period of time in my life that I seemed gripped by a battle, and a spirit of prayer for a long period of time. 

I can remember marching around my old workplace, all night long, in the driving snow, praying fervently. Sometimes I walked back and forth or stood on a hill there weeping and praying. One night I knelt in the snow next to the dumpster and consecrated myself to Gods Plan. 

I took a knee

The months and seasons passed with no change, winter came around again and again, marching, praying, seeking, declaring. There were enemies that would come against me in many different ways and forms, trying to get me to give up and tempt me to stumble.

I knelt many times over those years in exhaustion of spirit and soul. I would kneel down, take a knee, wherever I could be alone for just a few minutes, whether it was in the maintenance room, in the housekeeping room, next to carts and dumpsters. 

I had to take a knee, time and time again, to refocus, consecrate myself to God, and take an inventory of all He had done and was doing. 

Tired from the battle, the choice was always the same: Give up and return to sin, or consecrate myself once again to Gods Plan.

Along with Intercessory Prayer, The Prayer of Consecration has been a lifeline between my soul and The Lord many times in my life since I was a child. 

So?

TAKE A KNEE SOLDIER!! 

You are a Kneeling Warrior!   (The link to the left is to a book I highly recommend titled The Kneeling Warrior(Winning Your Battles Through Prayer)

James 5 - Prophecy Unfolding

James 5 contains a prophecy of the conditions we are seeing right now.

This nation never really repented of atrocities of slavery and the Jim Crow era. We have been reaping the harvest ever since. Unfortunately so have the very people that great evil targeted.

You can argue one point or the other all you want. There are great spiritual forces at work in racial hatred and division. The business leaders of this nation refuse to listen, the church leaders of this nation refuse to see, so the only thing left is to reap the harvest that has been sown.

This nations financial system never repented from slavery, it just exported it, shipped it over where there are no laws against child labor, slave labor, and working conditions that cause men and women to jump to their deaths, while we celebrate the companies that make these decisions.

We as a nation give the title of "Most Favored Nation" to a nation that persecutes minorities, religions and has little to no labor laws.

We call those, who pick our crops now for low wages and no benefits, "illegal aliens", and when they want to take part in our liberties and benefits here, we call them names, and yell to deport them.

The employers that employ them reap huge profits, we eat cheap goods, while they work their hands and backs all day, every day, during harvest season. Yet,  we don't want them eating at our table or to enjoy the benefits of that harvest.

THAT IS SLAVERY.

Men, women and children sitting on heaps of E-Waste, poisoning themselves and the water trying to survive, while western companies make millions on dumping it there, is a great evil.

Like it or not, the warning in James 5 is upon us

Get on your knees and pray!

As we reap the the harvest, and we see the suffering, there is encouragement for those who are The Lords.



                                     




James 5:1-12 (NIV)


1 Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. 2 Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days.

4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. 5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.


7 Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. 8 You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near. 9 Don’t grumble against one another, brothers and sisters, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door!

10 Brothers and sisters, as an example of patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. 11 As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.

12 Above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear—not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. All you need to say is a simple “Yes” or “No.” Otherwise you will be condemned.

We don't need Revolution

We don't need Restitution

Revelation of Justification 

To bow our knees in Consecration

The Art of Self Denial

 There is an art of self denial, for service to The Lord, that goes beyond dying to self and overcoming the flesh. There may be things that you absolutely have a right to want and expect, that you will have to deny yourself of in order to serve The Lord to your fullest potential.

 It isn't a science, meaning strict rules and parameters, but an art, learning to use the unique gifts and spiritual talents The Lord has given us, to deny ourselves and serve Him powerfully and in a way no one else can.

 You are made uniquely glorious in Him. A New Creation, like nothing that this world has ever seen. So don't fret over what you may have to offer up as a sacrifice to Him, rejoice that He always responds to that sacrifice with new vision and ability.

 Only the Master Creator of all things knows fully what He is creating in this world and what part you play in the Master Design He created before the foundations of the world.

 He is the only Creator that paid all to have a personal relationship with His Creation. He stepped into His creation, became one with His creation, shed His Blood for His creation, was crucified for His creation and defeated death for His Creation.

 The art of self denial is simply learning to flow with His brush and live by His Spirit. Not in a white knuckle way of denying the pulls of the flesh and life, but simply joining The Lord in His plan to reveal to The World, seen and unseen, His Glory, His Love, His Power and His Sons and Daughters.

Thank You LORD! For Loving us before we ever loved you!!

art:

: something that is created with imagination and skill and that is beautiful or that expresses important ideas or feelings

: works created by artists : paintings, sculptures, etc., that are created to be beautiful or to express important ideas or feelings

He Is LORD! He IS King!! He Bows To No Man!

I do not use this blog to talk about politics. However lately there has been a prophetic stirring in me about the leaders of not only this nation, but the nations of The World.

We must remember that The Lord is no respecter of persons. He does not choose sides. In a nation where the media and our government has set it up so that the masses will choose sides between the two political parties, we sometimes think The Lord is on "our side".

The Lord has nothing to do with the political machine man has created. He is LORD over all the earth. Government is one of His Social Graces, but we must not mistake that, with The King of Kings being political in any way, or assume that He is on one side or the other.

The one thing that marks The Last Days, even in The Letters to The Churches is that no one escapes His gaze and grasp. He will have a word of correction, and for those who are not His, judgement for many. His correction and judgement are perfectly JUST and totally Righteous.

I always try and consider why The Lord is having me write something, why is He showing this or that to me. Sometimes it is like pieces of a puzzle.(See my puzzle post on my prayer page).

I get a sense that there are many in The Church, and many more who think they are IN the church, that are going to be offended at some of the things that The Lord will say through His Prophets and do in the earth in the days ahead.

Remember when John The Baptist asked Jesus if He was The One? What was the last thing Jesus said?

"Blessed are those who are not offended because of me"


Below are some scriptures that have been highlighted to me over the past few weeks. Look them up, read them and meditate on them. Let The Holy Spirit speak to your heart.

Also below I posted a video. Many of you will have seen it before, but watch it again AFTER you take the time to mediate on some of the things I have said here, and more importantly, all the scriptures below. No cheating.





Joshua 5:13-15 (NLT)


13 When Joshua was near the town of Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with sword in hand. Joshua went up to him and demanded, “Are you friend or foe?”

14 “Neither one,” he replied. “I am the commander of the Lord’s army.”

At this, Joshua fell with his face to the ground in reverence. “I am at your command,” Joshua said. “What do you want your servant to do?”

15 The commander of the Lord’s army replied, “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did as he was told.



Psalm 10:16-18 (AMP)

16 The Lord is King forever and ever; the nations will perish out of His land.
17 O Lord, You have heard the desire and the longing of the humble and oppressed; You will prepare and strengthen and direct their hearts, You will cause Your ear to hear,
18 To do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, so that man, who is of the earth, may not terrify them any more.



Luke 13:1-5 (NLT)

A Call to Repentance

1 About this time Jesus was informed that Pilate had murdered some people from Galilee as they were offering sacrifices at the Temple. 2 “Do you think those Galileans were worse sinners than all the other people from Galilee?” Jesus asked. “Is that why they suffered? 3 Not at all! And you will perish, too, unless you repent of your sins and turn to God. 4 And what about the eighteen people who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them? Were they the worst sinners in Jerusalem? 5 No, and I tell you again that unless you repent, you will perish, too.”




Luke 7:20-23 (NLT)

20 John’s two disciples found Jesus and said to him, “John the Baptist sent us to ask, ‘Are you the Messiah we’ve been expecting, or should we keep looking for someone else?’”

21 At that very time, Jesus cured many people of their diseases, illnesses, and evil spirits, and he restored sight to many who were blind. 22 Then he told John’s disciples, “Go back to John and tell him what you have seen and heard—the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life, and the Good News is being preached to the poor. 23 And tell him, ‘God blesses those who do not turn away because of me.



Luke 11:45-52 (NLT)


45 “Teacher,” said an expert in religious law, “you have insulted us, too, in what you just said.”

46 “Yes,” said Jesus, “what sorrow also awaits you experts in religious law! For you crush people with unbearable religious demands, and you never lift a finger to ease the burden.47 What sorrow awaits you! For you build monuments for the prophets your own ancestors killed long ago. 48 But in fact, you stand as witnesses who agree with what your ancestors did. They killed the prophets, and you join in their crime by building the monuments!49 This is what God in his wisdom said about you:[a] ‘I will send prophets and apostles to them, but they will kill some and persecute the others.’

50 “As a result, this generation will be held responsible for the murder of all God’s prophets from the creation of the world— 51 from the murder of Abel to the murder of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, it will certainly be charged against this generation.

52 “What sorrow awaits you experts in religious law! For you remove the key to knowledge from the people. You don’t enter the Kingdom yourselves, and you prevent others from entering.”


As you read this last set of verses, consider the fact that this time and days are upon us and will unfold until the Glorious Day of verse 23:


Isaiah 24  (NLT)

1 Look! The Lord is about to destroy the earth
    and make it a vast wasteland.
He devastates the surface of the earth
    and scatters the people.
2 Priests and laypeople,
    servants and masters,
    maids and mistresses,
    buyers and sellers,
    lenders and borrowers,
    bankers and debtors—none will be spared.
3 The earth will be completely emptied and looted.
    The Lord has spoken!
4 The earth mourns and dries up,
    and the land wastes away and withers.
    Even the greatest people on earth waste away.
5 The earth suffers for the sins of its people,
    for they have twisted God’s instructions,
violated his laws,
    and broken his everlasting covenant.
6 Therefore, a curse consumes the earth.
    Its people must pay the price for their sin.
They are destroyed by fire,
    and only a few are left alive.
7 The grapevines waste away,
    and there is no new wine.
    All the merrymakers sigh and mourn.
8 The cheerful sound of tambourines is stilled;
    the happy cries of celebration are heard no more.
    The melodious chords of the harp are silent.
9 Gone are the joys of wine and song;
    alcoholic drink turns bitter in the mouth.
10 The city writhes in chaos;
    every home is locked to keep out intruders.
11 Mobs gather in the streets, crying out for wine.
    Joy has turned to gloom.
    Gladness has been banished from the land.
12 The city is left in ruins,
    its gates battered down.
13 Throughout the earth the story is the same—
    only a remnant is left,
like the stray olives left on the tree
    or the few grapes left on the vine after harvest.
14 But all who are left shout and sing for joy.
    Those in the west praise the Lord’s majesty.
15 In eastern lands, give glory to the Lord.
    In the lands beyond the sea, praise the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.
16 We hear songs of praise from the ends of the earth,
    songs that give glory to the Righteous One!
But my heart is heavy with grief.
    Weep for me, for I wither away.
Deceit still prevails,
    and treachery is everywhere.
17 Terror and traps and snares will be your lot,
    you people of the earth.
18 Those who flee in terror will fall into a trap,
    and those who escape the trap will be caught in a snare.
Destruction falls like rain from the heavens;
    the foundations of the earth shake.
19 The earth has broken up.
    It has utterly collapsed;
    it is violently shaken.
20 The earth staggers like a drunk.
    It trembles like a tent in a storm.
It falls and will not rise again,
    for the guilt of its rebellion is very heavy.
21 In that day the Lord will punish the gods in the heavens
    and the proud rulers of the nations on earth.
22 They will be rounded up and put in prison.
    They will be shut up in prison
    and will finally be punished.
23 Then the glory of the moon will wane,
    and the brightness of the sun will fade,
for the Lord of Heaven’s Armies will rule on Mount Zion.
    He will rule in great glory in Jerusalem,
    in the sight of all the leaders of his people.

Stand Your Ground

The Lord placed a flaming sword to keep man from re-entering the garden and eating from the tree of eternal life, until their seed crushed the head of His enemy.

Moses held his arms toward Heaven, until the battle was won, as long as he kept his arms stretched forth, Israel prevailed!

Joshua Stretched forth his javelin until the enemies of Gods people were destroyed!

Elijah prayed on his face until the cloud formed and an abundance of rain was heard in the spirit.

Davids Mighty Men stood their ground in the fields and remained there until all Israels enemies were defeated. One mighty warriors hand cleaved to his sword.

Jesus looked forth to the Joy that was before Him,until The Victory Of The Cross was won!

Jesus is seated at The Right hand of God,making intercession for us, until all His enemies are made His footstool.We join Him in this battle every time we take up the mantle of intercessory prayer for His Church.

Intercession, at times, is like the examples The Lord has given us in His Word, of standing in a place of God given authority and power, while the battle and time passes, not moving until we see His Will done on earth as it is in heaven.

We will not always know what we are praying for or even how we ought to pray. There will be times that we yield to distractions and have to regain our footing, and take our stand once again.

We may feel the yearnings and groanings of creation crying from within us. We may see the horrors of the battle and the joys of victory, but we must stand in our place, and move forward in the spirit, in the power and authority of The Lord.

Jesus is The Commander of Heavens Armies and His Commission is still to accomplish The Fathers Will.

Consider His answer to Joshua and  these verses from Romans Chapter 8 as you meditate on the things shared above.

Joshua 5:13-14 (AMP)

 When Joshua was by Jericho, he looked up, and behold, a Man stood near him with His drawn sword in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, Are you for us or for our adversaries?

 And He said, No [neither], but as Prince of the Lord’s host have I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped, and said to Him, What says my Lord to His servant?

Romans 8:18-30 (AMP)

18 [But what of that?] For I consider that the sufferings of this present time (this present life) are not worth being compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us and for us and conferred on us!

19 For [even the whole] creation (all nature) waits expectantly and longs earnestly for God’s sons to be made known [waits for the revealing, the disclosing of their sonship].

20 For the creation (nature) was subjected to frailty (to futility, condemned to frustration), not because of some intentional fault on its part, but by the will of Him Who so subjected it—[yet] with the hope

21 That nature (creation) itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and corruption [and gain an entrance] into the glorious freedom of God’s children.

22 We know that the whole creation [of irrational creatures] has been moaning together in the pains of labor until now.

23 And not only the creation, but we ourselves too, who have and enjoy the firstfruits of the [Holy] Spirit [a foretaste of the blissful things to come] groan inwardly as we wait for the redemption of our bodies [from sensuality and the grave, which will reveal] our adoption (our manifestation as God’s sons).

24 For in [this] hope we were saved. But hope [the object of] which is seen is not hope. For how can one hope for what he already sees?

25 But if we hope for what is still unseen by us, we wait for it with patience and composure.

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.

29 For those whom He foreknew [of whom He was aware and loved beforehand], He also destined from the beginning [foreordaining them] to be molded into the image of His Son [and share inwardly His likeness], that He might become the firstborn among many brethren.

30 And those whom He thus foreordained, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified (acquitted, made righteous, putting them into right standing with Himself). And those whom He justified, He also glorified [raising them to a heavenly dignity and condition or state of being].
