Deceit Of Darkness Part 1= Shadows Embraced As Light

As I pray in The Spirit I see the same sight over and over. The Lord is speaking to His people. He is warning His people. He is preparing His People.

I am walking through the hidden place. Where the shadows of deceit abide that have blinded The Sheep, The Shepherds, The People and The Kings. A place between the light of the seen world and the darkness of the unseen world, where lies abide, and even what seems to be light is a mirage of the truth.

I am walking through dark, dimly lit narrow ways with hidden pits and alleys of neon lit traps.

I see that there is a haze of this shadowy darkness that has seduced Gods people, causing them to turn from their first love, to turn from His Face.

The darkness is old and ancient. Like a forsaken city of lies, lust, wantonness and death.

Even the light is dark, even what seems to be good is steeped in the infection that dwells in the deep, damp darkness.

Why can I see this?

Why am I brought here to walk among this place?

I see the effects of this ancient darkness across the globe. In many ways so subtle, yet so powerful.

It troubles my heart to see the lies and deceit of this place influencing those my heart longs to speak truth to. The darkness is seen in the obvious places of darkness. However the most troubling to me is where deceit has caused so much damage and pain.

The pillars of society have given themselves to the seducing spirits that abide here. Governments, Financial Institutions and even the Educational Systems of many nations.

The Nations have embraced the darkness as their God.

But, the most painful people to see being deceived by this dark place is The Church.

My heart tries to cry out from this place but, no sound is heard. My soul tries to form a message for Gods leaders and people , yet there is no way to form it, no ears to hear it, no eyes to see it.

I stand seeing  and I stand hearing. Crying out in The Spirit for the veil of lies to be lifted, and my Gods people to be set free. Even those I honor seem to be blind. Even those that carry a blessed ministry seem deaf to the influence of this place that deceit abides. How can we claim to walk in The Light while embracing the lies of darkness. How can we claim to be servants of JESUS OUR LORD, while we also serve greed and make friends with wickedness.

The world offers up their children to Moloch (abortion) , they embrace the Goddesses of Lust and Immorality. Mankind has fully embraced every ancient evil, every spirit of filth, violence and unholiness. Darkness has bound them and the only people sent to set them free have embraced their chains instead of breaking them free. 

There is hope. God has a plan. But, we must see , we must hear and we must speak to the darkness and demonstrate its defeat in the presence of mankind. We must reveal to mankind the lies and deceit of darkness. Our weapons are given by Christ and empowered by His Holy Spirit.

We must purposely and aggressively attack The Kingdom of Hell and march on its gates with the full force of Our Kings Commission and Authority. We must cast off all the works and shadows of darkness. 

A call to repentance and salvation must be made. The Gospel of The Kingdom of God must be preached. Every shadow of darkness rejected, in every form and scent.

Are you ready?

Are you sure?

It may be that you, and I, have embraced more deceit than we know.

This man of God saw this partly. Even he knew that deceit was beginning to twist the message of faith he was sent to preach.

He Alone Is Worthy

Bound By Hope

Job 5:16(NLT)

And so at last the poor have hope,
and the snapping jaws of the wicked are shut.


My spirit has been very in tune with the spiritual atmosphere that is
covering the earth like an ominous haze. It is as if the atmosphere is ripe with trouble, sin, violence and all forms of Poverty and Want.

I , at times, do not want to see what The Spirit of God is revealing to me.
I just want to live a life free from the burden and responsibility of
being a watchman, a prophet, an intercessor in The Kingdom of God.

There are just so many lost souls, so many either trapped in The Kingdom of Darkness or working hard to be promoted in it. So many bound in a lie and so many who are wicked and are bound by their own will to become even more wicked.


Jeremiah 14:8 (NLT)

O Hope of Israel, our Savior in times of trouble,
why are you like a stranger to us?
Why are you like a traveler passing through the land, stopping only for the night?



The cries of the innocent and the screams of the abused and neglected have risen up from the earth to create a smog that covers the planet like a blanket. It seems that darkness has blocked out the light. and the lamp stands of The Earth have been dimmed by the seductions of the comforts and niceties of this fallen world.

But! I can not look away! I can not help but to press in, because I see within it all,

HOPE!


Acts 2:25-28(NLT)

King David said this about him:

‘I see that the Lord is always with me.
I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.

No wonder my heart is glad, and my tongue shouts his praises! My body rests in hope:
For you will not leave my soul among the dead, or allow your Holy One to rot in the grave.You have shown me the way of life, and you will fill me with the joy of your presence.’


I know The Lord has a plan. I know He Promised that The Earth would be filled with
His Glory. He promised He would reach through us to heal, to make us ministers of reconciliation, to confirm His Gospel of His Kingdom with signs and mighty wonders.

He has declared the end from the beginning. His Plan to bless all the families of the earth, shall come to pass. I see a deep call and cry, from deep within my spirit pouring out into the earth and untold millions of people, even whole cities,coming to The Lord.

I see The Spirit of God once again hovering over the face of the earth , seeking
The Remnant, seeking The Called Out Ones. Even as darkness covers the land and deep darkness the people, He is calling from within His People, Let The Light in you shine!

I see Hope, even among the hopeless darkness, we have been filled with His Spirit,Power, Love and Authority to bring His Will, His Light and His Kingdom into every dark and dry place. We are filled with life giving waters,and we can speak those living waters into The Earth like mighty rivers flooding a parched and desolate land.

The Gospel is The Light and The Hope of all mankind

So, we can not look away. We can not draw back. We have been commissioned
by Our King. We have been sent as Messengers and Ambassadors of His Love, His Light, His Life.

His Hope!




1 Peter 1 New Living Translation

Greetings from Peter

1 This letter is from Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ.

I am writing to God’s chosen people who are living as foreigners in the provinces of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia. 2 God the Father knew you and chose you long ago, and his Spirit has made you holy. As a result, you have obeyed him and have been cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ.

May God give you more and more grace and peace.

The Hope of Eternal Life

3 All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation, 4 and we have a priceless inheritance—an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay. 5 And through your faith, God is protecting you by his power until you receive this salvation, which is ready to be revealed on the last day for all to see.
6 So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. 7 These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.

8 You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him now, you trust him; and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy. 9 The reward for trusting him will be the salvation of your souls.

10 This salvation was something even the prophets wanted to know more about when they prophesied about this gracious salvation prepared for you. 11 They wondered what time or situation the Spirit of Christ within them was talking about when he told them in advance about Christ’s suffering and his great glory afterward.

12 They were told that their messages were not for themselves, but for you. And now this Good News has been announced to you by those who preached in the power of the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. It is all so wonderful that even the angels are eagerly watching these things happen.

A Call to Holy Living

13 So prepare your minds for action and exercise self-control. Put all your hope in the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world. 14 So you must live as God’s obedient children. Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn’t know any better then.15 But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy.16 For the Scriptures say, “You must be holy because I am holy.”
17 And remember that the heavenly Father to whom you pray has no favorites. He will judge or reward you according to what you do. So you must live in reverent fear of him during your time here as “temporary residents.”

18 For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And it was not paid with mere gold or silver, which lose their value. 19 It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God. 20 God chose him as your ransom long before the world began, but now in these last days he has been revealed for your sake.

21 Through Christ you have come to trust in God. And you have placed your faith and hope in God because he raised Christ from the dead and gave him great glory.
22 You were cleansed from your sins when you obeyed the truth, so now you must show sincere love to each other as brothers and sisters. Love each other deeply with all your heart.
23 For you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God. 24 As the Scriptures say,

“People are like grass;

their beauty is like a flower in the field.
The grass withers and the flower fades.
But the word of the Lord remains forever.”
And that word is the Good News that was preached to you.

The Remnant

        Micah 4:7New Living Translation (NLT)

Those who are weak will survive as a remnant;

    those who were exiles will become a strong nation.

Then I, the Lord, will rule from Jerusalem

    as their king forever.”

                   

Haggai 1:14New Living Translation (NLT)

14 So the Lord sparked the enthusiasm of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the enthusiasm of Jeshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the enthusiasm of the whole remnant of God’s people. They began to work on the house of their God, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies,

Zechariah 8:6-12New Living Translation (NLT)

6 “This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: All this may seem impossible to you now, a small remnant of God’s people. But is it impossible for me? says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

7 “This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: You can be sure that I will rescue my people from the east and from the west. 8 I will bring them home again to live safely in Jerusalem. They will be my people, and I will be faithful and just toward them as their God.

9 “This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: Be strong and finish the task! Ever since the laying of the foundation of the Temple of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, you have heard what the prophets have been saying about completing the building. 10 Before the work on the Temple began, there were no jobs and no money to hire people or animals. No traveler was safe from the enemy, for there were enemies on all sides. I had turned everyone against each other.

11 “But now I will not treat the remnant of my people as I treated them before, says the Lordof Heaven’s Armies. 12 For I am planting seeds of peace and prosperity among you. The grapevines will be heavy with fruit. The earth will produce its crops, and the heavens will release the dew. Once more I will cause the remnant in Judah and Israel to inherit these blessings.

Prophetic Word from The Word

This one verse has been a great Word of Encouragement to me.

I have been led to read from some of The Prophetic Books. My spirit sees so much

that I can not post about now. I can say my spirit calls out to The Remnant.

My soul groans for the deceived and the Hirelings. The Lord is calling His People back to their first love,and the Shepherds of His sheep to Repentance. 

True Freedom

Now that I shared some of what is on my heart about breaking free from bondage and addictions, brokenness, depression and anxiety. I want to speak to you, heart to the heart,  Spirit to Spirit, soul to soul.

 There is a very important Life Giving, chain breaking, miracle-working gift that will not only set you free but will  restore you and  empower you to be a minister of The Gospel of His Kingdom. My friend this gift is an essential element to The Church fulfilling her mission, but it is accessed very rarely even by those who walk close with God. I wish I could say why, but, I really do not know.

 There are an abundance of scripture that make it clear what God's will is concerning setting people free in the name of His Holy Child Jesus. The only way TO CORRECTLY interpret, cross reference, confirm or prove scripture is to conclude that God sent Jesus to UTTERLY destroy the ALL works of the devil.

 Jesus was anointed and has anointed us, He went about doing good and He sends us, He set free all those who were oppressed of the devil, and he has empowered and commanded us to do the same, promising to confirm our words with accompanying  signs and wonders.

Mark 16:15-20 New Living Translation (NLT)

15 And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone. 16 Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned. 17 These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages.18 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.”

19 When the Lord Jesus had finished talking with them, he was taken up into heaven and sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand.20 And the disciples went everywhere and preached, and the Lord worked through them, confirming what they said by many miraculous signs.

  Here is a difficult question. Why are we not demonstrating His Kingdom as He said we would?  I mean if He's not confirming our words with accompanying signs and wonders, are we doing what he commanded us to do? Are we seeking other power and influence more than His will and His spirit? 

As long as the church and her leaders put more stock in theology degrees, John Maxwell seminars, breakout sessions on how to be relevant, and multi million dollar light shows than we do in The Word The Spirit, and The Commission of Power, we will continue to operate as dim lights in a darkening world.


The world is crying out for help and is losing hope , mankind is groping for something stable. They are trying to find anything to fill that empty lost place within their own soul. The more creation groans and trembles for its Redemption, the more mans heart groans within him. As believers we are more aware of the travails of Gods creation around us and the pain in our fellow mans heart.


You see my friend we can map the physical body of man until we know how to rebuild every fleshly part like new. We can rewire all his nerves, nuero-pathways, brain cells and  hormonal glands. We can achieve great things and Science and Society. But what we can never do, what is impossible for any man, scientist or leader to do anywhere is to renew the heart, the spirit of mankind.

We can  pour resources, time, energy and money into trying to set free those who are bound by The Devil, but these things will not destroy his work. What good does it do to give a man  the whole world yet he loses his own soul. If we truly knew how far we have left our first love, and how we are giving a world dying in darkness false hope in comfort, we would weep in Repentance.

 To see how widespread and deeply rooted the humanist Spirit has embedded into the church and her leaders troubles me deeply. My spirit groans within me at the apathy I see among even those who long to see a great move of God.

  Is The Church really ready for Jesus to clear His father's house? Are we prepared for The Lord to send the latter rain in abundance and  shake all that can be shaken so the only thing that is left is what cannot be shaken His Eternal Word, His Eternal Commission and His plans and  purposes upon the Earth? We prove everyday by the things we honor highly and the things we spend so many resources on, that we are not. However, there is HOPE, there is a Plan and There is a purpose. 

  Our God shall receive Glory due to His Name! The captives will be set free! The deaf will hear! The mute will speak! The blind shall see! The demoniac and the insane will be demonstratively and miraculously healed and set free!

With God reaching through us and healing in The Name of  His Holy Child Jesus we shall go forth and take a authority over all the power of the devil by casting them out and making a show of them openly to demonstrate the victory that Jesus won. We shall demonstrate openly His domain and Kingdom. We will prove His authority on Earth as it is in heaven.

Luke 7:21-23New Living Translation (NLT)

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, those with leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life, and the Good News is being preached to the poor.” 23 And he added, “God blesses those who do not fall away because of me.

Now don't say amen and then honor one with a degree more than one with His Anointing. Don't say Praise God and then go forth with a mission that is light on the gospel or even devoid of the Gospel.
The gospel must be preached! Jesus must be lifted UP! A call to repentance must be made, loud and clear!

A defeated enemy is going about killing stealing and destroying almost at will, right in front of those who were created to stop him. He is using nothing but spiritual weapons and the might of his defeated and broken Kingdom. While the commanders of God's triumphant Kingdom spent decades and hundreds of millions of dollars building Natural Things trying to defeat a defeated enemy with weapons that do nothing to stop the spread of his darkness and Terror. 


Watching the devil kill one after another,destroying one life after another life has broken my heart and caused me great distress of soul. Enough is enough! I put no hoping degrees, titles, buildings fancy talk, popular names, technology fads, the list of all that needs to be shaken, goes on and on.

The simple hard truth is this:

99.9 % of what is being taught and preached across the land has absolutely no power against the spiritual darkness of the devil. It will not heal inoperable cancer, it will not heal aids, it will not cause the blind the see, the deaf hear, the mute speak or the lame walk.

Very little time, energy or resources are spent training up The Apostle,Prophet ,Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher.

  A billionaire moving into your city to build a new hospital where, yes, some good is done, but, it wont heal the mommy on her death bed, the demoniac strapped to a cot, the child taking their last breath. It is a painful thought , but one that must be considered.

 Jesus was manifest for this very purpose, to DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL. He didn't shake the worlds foundations  to medicate the devils harassment out of people, or to prosper a few lucky enough to live in a safe nation. He didn't give up His place for eternity so that we could watch person after person die, suffer, and lose all hope.

Get ready. Be ready. Hold loosely what you may think you know about The Church and Her Purpose.

 My Hope alone is in Him! His full power and authority demonstrated in the fullness of the scope and Dominion that the blood of Jesus Paid For! His plans and purposes on the Earth will be accomplished and nothing shall stand in His way!


Luke 4:18-19 New Living Translation (NLT)

18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
    for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released,
    that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free,19  and that the time of the Lord’s favor has come.

Addiction and The "Gut Brain" ( Close Off All Escape Routes Part 2)

What happens when a person has determined to close off all the escape routes they have used over and over in the past,but they have a body that will not allow them to break free?

Addiction goes beyond reversing bad choices and making a decision to stay in a process of renewing your mind and waiting upon The Lord. Breaking free from physical addiction , of course includes all the things I mentioned in my last post, but it also must include a deeper level of understanding and knowledge.

Addiction has been misunderstood for far to long. 

However,advancements in the science of addiction, combined with many Christian Ministers and Counselors beginning to gain wisdom on the spiritual aspects of addiction, are bringing true freedom to untold numbers of those caught in the cage of their own soul.

I want to focus on the latter of the two mentioned above.I have linked a couple articles at the end of this post that do a good job explaining the science of this. 

Let me share with you what The Lord has put on my heart about this subject. I pray it blesses you and encourages you during the often painful and difficult process of breaking the addictions that keep so many bound.

All addictions, all outburst of emotion and all deep seeded issues of the soul flow from this thing Science calls The Enteric Nervous System. Over 100 million nerve cells make up this mysterious part of our soul. It occupies the same area of our being that we are told that our spirit man abides, where we are led by The Spirit, where The Holy Spirit abides in us.

I really want you to consider this. The very place we need to be led by The Spirit of God, is also the very area that will hinder us the most when we are bound by addiction, anxiety or depression. During our development in the womb the brain and "the gut brain" are formed together, made up of the same substance.

This wasn't a mistake, this was an intentional part of how God created us, but something went wrong. That something was the fall of man. 

I believe, and I believe this is by The Spirit, that this "gut brain", The Enteric Nervous System was originally designed to have perfect communication with our Central Nervous System and our Endocrine System. And also, before The Fall, that these systems were in perfect harmony with our spirits. We were one, there was no disease in us, no separation of spirit , soul and body. We were divinely created beings, nothing lacking, full of light.

We were created perfectly and had perfect communion with God.

But, then, mankind fell. The body become disjointed. The systems of our bodies began to lose their divine nature. The separation and broken communication of our three part being represented perfectly our separation from God.

What does this all have to do with addiction?

Everything!

The gut brain, I believe is the fallen part of man that once had perfect communion with God. Instead of a place where food is broken down and turned into foul waste, it was a place of pure light and energy, a place where our bodies of dust met our indwelling spirit and where our indwelling spirit met with God.

Now in its fallen state, it is the place our enemy and all the ills of this life push and drive us to sin and destruction. It is the thing that The Bible tells us if we are led by, it will lead us to our destruction.

THE FLESH!

So close to our spirit man, so connected with our Central Nervous System, and The Endocrine System, it is no wonder that our guts hurt so much when we are broken, scared, lonely or suffering from withdrawal and addiction.

I am sharing this for both those suffering from addiction and those who long to help them break free. Freedom is promised by Our God. He wants His children free. He wants you free.

Jesus took all of the penalty for sin upon Himself, we are destined for freedom!

It will take a great commitment on your part, but you can and will be free, if you lean on Him and follow some essential, but simple rules. I am willing to bet, that when some of you read the word "rules" you felt something in your gut turn.  That is okay, it is your flesh, kicking against your spirit. 

You just learned your first lesson. Your gut brain, will not cooperate with you on this journey, not at first anyway. 

I am going to list this next part as steps, just to simplify it and enable you to write them down or print them out. Every step is essential, every step key.

1. Find an experienced Christian Counselor/Minister that understands addiction and both the spiritual and natural aspects of addiction, anxiety, depression.(I list all three because all three come from the same place.) This is essential for you. You need somebody to help you and there are those called to do just that.

2. Determine to stay with it. Depending on your level of addiction, type of addiction or the make up of your system, you will suffer some major discomfort. Some withdrawal will require help from a medical doctor to get through, this is why step one is so important. 

3. We are rebuilding our Spirit, Soul and Body. I was not prepared for how my body and mind would react to the withdrawal I went through breaking free from my addiction. Prepare your mind and heart for this. Again, going back to step one, a good Christian Counselor will be crucial in this step.

4. Create space in your life for healthy fun. Exercise, Hike, go to the movies (Movies that don't feed the lust of the flesh). Seek peaceful places in nature and in your life that will fill in the margins a bit.

5. Never give up. Find a spirit filled church that preaches The Word. Endure the pain, discomfort and all that comes from withdrawal. Withdrawal is actually good, it means the thing that once kept you in prison is losing its grip. You have denied its right to keep you and your flesh and body are having a temper tantrum like a scolded child.

God Bless!

Below are some articles explaining the science a bit more.

Excerpt from great article

Click title for the rest of article:

The gut as second brain

Our gut microbiota play a vital role in our physical and psychological health via its own neural network: the enteric nervous system (ENS), a complex system of about 100 million nerves found in the lining of the gut.

The ENS is sometimes called the “second brain,” and it actually arises from the same tissues as our central nervous system (CNS) during fetal development. Therefore, it has many structural and chemical parallels to the brain.

Our ENS doesn’t wax philosophical or make executive decisions like the gray shiny mound in our skulls. Yet, in a miraculously orchestrated symphony of hormones, neurotransmitters, and electrical impulses through a pathway of nerves, both “brains” communicate back and forth. These pathways include and involve endocrine, immune, and neural pathways.

At this point in time, even though the research is inchoate and complex, it is clear that the brain and gut are so intimately connected that it sometimes seems like one system, not two

The Brain-Gut Connection

If you’ve ever “gone with your gut” to make a decision or felt “butterflies in your stomach” when nervous, you’re likely getting signals from an unexpected source: your second brain.  Hidden in the walls of the digestive system, this “brain in your gut” is revolutionizing medicine’s understanding of the links between digestion, mood, health and even the way you think.  

Scientists call this little brain the enteric nervous system (ENS). And it’s not so little. The ENS is two thin layers of more than 100 million nerve cells lining your gastrointestinal tract from esophagus to rectum.

What Does Your Gut’s Brain Control?

Unlike the big brain in your skull, the ENS can’t balance your checkbook or compose a love note. “Its main role is controlling digestion, from swallowing to the release of enzymes that break down food to the control of blood flow that helps with nutrient absorption to elimination,” explains Jay Pasricha, M.D., director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Neurogastroenterology, whose research on the enteric nervous system has garnered international attention. “The enteric nervous system doesn’t seem capable of thought as we know it, but it communicates back and forth with our big brain—with profound results.”

Close Off All Escape Routes

As we navigate this life we learn how to protect ourselves from discomfort and harm.

Some of these skills are healthy and good.

Others, however are not good for us, and will cause us to struggle

as we grow in life and with God.

The soul can master building layers of protection in order to avoid reliving 

pain from our past, or to keep us from feeling the pain of our present.

This picture represents a soul that has been so hurt that it has built 

a bear suit of protection against anyone who would try to get close.

Even though this type of unhealthy barrier is not the subject of this post,

I wanted to share it with you to really demonstrate how harmful unhealthy 

barriers can be to our lives.

This post is about the external escape routes that we learn to build in order to escape

from the pain,uncertainty, loneliness and discomfort that life can bring us.

Throughout life, our soul masters the art of escape. Like Houdini , we train ourselves

to escape anything that makes us uncomfortable or that makes us feel like we are not in complete control.

This makes it very hard for us to learn to rest and trust in The Lord.

The Lord can bring us to a place that we need to wait and see His Salvation, but as 

soon as that place becomes uncomfortable we find a way of escape.

The Lord longs for us to trust Him fully. 

He often brings us to a place were we have the opportunity to do so,

just to have us abandon that place for the first Exit that is presented to us.

Depending on how many years we have been running from the pain, and how deep seeded 

the reasons we have for running and hiding are, it can be long and difficulty process to

achieve the freedom The Lord paid all for us to have.

What is your escape route? What Emergency Exit do you look for as soon as you feel

frightened. 

What escape hatch have to built into every situation that God brings you into, just in case He doesn't come through for you?

What everyone of these apparent safety doors have in common is that they are all mirages.

They may provide temporary comfort, temporary hope of reprieve, but they all

just ensure that you will stay a slave to the pain of the past.

Each time you choose to use an escape route instead of waiting upon The Lord,

your strengthen the chains of bondage that surround you. Are you ready to be truly free?

Are you ready to break the circle of bondage and slavery.

Are you ready to abandon all the escape routes your soul and the enemy have created

to keep you from achieving the amazing things The Lord created you to be?

It all starts with a quality decision to seek The Lord.

To seek your own soul and be honest with yourself and God.

Make a list of things that you think are your escape routes.

Do you see a pattern in your life of not waiting on God?

Make a list, make it clear, and determine to abandon every route,

hatch and exit you have used to escape in the past. 

Determine to wait upon The Lord, no matter how uncomfortable

or abandon you feel.

You can do this. 

Get into Church regularly.

Do life with other Christians.

Serve others.

God Bless

The World Needs The Father

The World Needs The Father

This picture speaks to me, it troubles me, it stirs me and God has placed it deep in my soul in order to step into a message, to enter into a prayer, to bring His Love to A Weeping Fatherless World!

As I look at the face of this little baby pressed against his young protectors chest, I feel his heart. It is like I am looking at myself. He is finding comfort in his brother. His brothers heart is seen, his love and eyes beyond his natural age. He has a look of concern and responsibility he should not yet have.

As I kept being led back to this picture by The Lord, I mourned in my heart for these little ones. I wanted to give comfort to them both. My heart drawing deeper into the image, my spirit groaning for what I saw and the condition of so many little ones, so many young ones,so many scared and hurting ones.

"Oh Father! They need you! Oh Father! So much pain, so much fear, so much lack. They need you Father."

I passed through a place of anger with The Lord. I challenged Him, I yelled at Him, I even spoke harshly to His character and goodness:

 "Don't you bear the responsibility for all the pain! Don't you bear the blame for all the hurting one! Where are your Angels!"

I began to grow weary as I looked deeper into this picture. Then, I was stirred to rise up. I know who my Father is! I know He is Good and His Mercy endures forever. I know all the pain and hurt is from the evil one. The LORD is Good. He is Able! He is more than willing to heal and show Himself to a hurting and dying world.

He is a FATHER to The FATHERLESS.

Then The Lord began to stir in me His heart, and, He saw in this picture the same thing. He stirred in me His Will, and indeed, His Will is to show Himself Mighty,Loving and An Able Father!

And...........

He has paid a high price to do just that. He sent His ONLY SON, to do just that. Jesus accomplished everything that needed to be accomplished to bring MANY SONS AND DAUGHTERS to The FATHER!

Here is another picture, quite different than the one above. This picture is what The Wicked One wants for all of Gods Creation. This is Satan's goal, to bring such destitution and pain, that mankind has no hope, and no access to The Image of a Loving Father.

.

For many years I have fought what was deep in my heart. I have been troubled, even sickened by a Gospel that was not The Gospel of The Kingdom. (See The Missing Prayer of The Crestfallen Warrior) I know now without a doubt that it was all from My God. Jesus showed us The Father. He demonstrated to us and gave us all The Authority and Power we need to show them The Father, in His Name. Yet we have played games, like spoiled children with toys.

Jesus IS LORD over ALL THE EARTH!

We shall show them The Fathers Love!

We shall demonstrate The Good News Of The Kingdom!

What you see here is from The Kingdom of Darkness.

Stirred and brought on by Demonic Forces in High Places!

BUT JESUS STRIPPED THEM BARE!

MADE THEM CRIPPLED!

DESTROYED ALL THE POWER OF THE DEVIL!

I don't care if no one joins me.

I don't care if I am ridiculed and rejected!

My Father is Good!

My Father is Able!

The Lord SHALL CONFIRM MY WORDS

WITH ACCOMPANYING SIGNS AND WONDERS!

Bodies Healed!

DEAD RAISED!

RAIN FROM A CLEAR SKY

CROPS IN A BARREN FIELD!

ANGELIC PROTECTION!

HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF SALVATION'S!

THE GOSPEL OF HIS KINGDOM BEING PREACHED IN POWER AND DEMONSTRATIONS OF THE SPIRIT INTO ALL THE WORLD!

THEN THE END SHALL COME!!

My Advocate Is Praying For Me

1 John 2:1-2 New Living Translation (NLT)

1 My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate who pleads our case before the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who is truly righteous. 2 He himself is the sacrifice that atones for our sins—and not only our sins but the sins of all the world.
