Declare

Declare!!!


When you feel like the children of Israel
Pressed against The Red Sea!
This is what the declaration
Of your mouth needs to be!
That Jesus Christ Is Lord, over all The Earth
And by His mighty hand, your deliverance will be birthed
He is your saviour, your God, your Lord
He is your Father, who is watching diligently over His WORD!
He loves you more, than your human heart can understand
He has paid the price, with His Blood, so you could inherit HIS Land!
He has given you all things freely
That pertain to this life
He has given you Faith and Joy
To replace Fear and Strife
There is only one thing that
You must be diligent to do

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

Look at bondage
And declare I am free
Look at blindness
And declare I can see!
Look at fear
And declare I am full of Faith!
Look at depression
And declare strength for the race
Then look away from the problem
And to His Glorious Throne
For in Truth and in Spirit
That is your true Home

And say

I am not weak
But strengthened with ALL MIGHT
According To His POWER
I AM WAGING AND WINNING THE GOOD FIGHT!
I AM NOT SICK
BUT THE HEALED OF THE LORD
THE HEAD AND NOT THE TAIL
I HAVE FULL FAITH IN HIS WORD!
I AM NOT FULL OF SIN
BUT WASHED CLEAN BY THE BLOOD
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS MY HELPER
EVEN AS THE ENEMY IS COMING LIKE A FLOOD

So say with me, with a shout from your heart
Say it boldly, say it loud, tear the enemy's lies apart!
I am a child of Light
A new creature in Christ!

I am Born Again, Blood Bought
And full of Power and Might!
I am the head and not the tail
Above only and not beneath
I have on His Mighty Armour
His all powerful SWORD in my sheath
In Him, I stand strong
In Him, I stand Tall
For He who keeps me

IS LORD OF ALL

I AM FREE
I AM FREE
I AM FREE

AND IN HIM WILL FOREVER BE

Rebuild Your Walls- Strengthen Your Ramparts- Restore Your Gates

2 Peter 1:1-8  (NKJV)

1 Simon Peter, a bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ,

To those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:

2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

5 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Lord has been stirring in me a desire to rebuild or strengthen the parts of my spirit,soul and body that need to be prepared for His Plans and Purposes being fulfilled in my life and The Church. At the same time our church is teaching on fighting for what The Lord wants for us in the days ahead. Not fighting as a struggle of trial, but to win and to take The Promised Land The Lord wants us to occupy.

I believe that the two go hand and hand. A time of rebuilding and fortifying our lives and a time to fight for the victory as we do. I hope the images, and words of this post, not only bless you, but help you fortify the walls of other peoples lives as well. We are one body working for a common goal to be a people that cause God to be glorified. We are appointed to have God answer our prayers in such a way that the righteous rejoice and the wicked gnash their teethe. 

Psalm 65:5 (AMPC)

5 By fearful and glorious things [that terrify the wicked but make the godly sing praises] do You answer us in righteousness (rightness and justice), O God of our salvation, You Who are the confidence and hope of all the ends of the earth and of those far off on the seas;

As we enter into agreement with The Lord about rebuilding the walls of our lives, that  have been weakened or torn down, we will face resistance. Our enemies do not want our hearts healed, the devil does not want your soul restored and strong, and even some people will not want you to place guards on the walls of your mind and body, closing the gates to their carnal way of living.

So to be successful in this Holy, God ordained mission, we must be wise builders like Nehemiah. Read the following verses and allow The Holy Spirit to speak to you through them. What enemies have tripped up your progress before? Where are there weak spots in your being that need to be guarded as you rebuild the fallen walls and restore the plundered gates?

Ask The Lord to reveal them to you. Ask a Spiritual Mentor, a Pastor, a Christian Counselor to help you see the broken things that you may be blind to.

Nehemiah 4:16-23  (AMPC)

 And from that time forth, half of my servants worked at the task, and the other half held the spears, shields, bows, and coats of mail; and the leaders stood behind all the house of Judah. Those who built the wall and those who bore burdens loaded themselves so that everyone worked with one hand and held a weapon with the other hand,

 And every builder had his sword girded by his side, and so worked. And he who sounded the trumpet was at my side. And I said to the nobles and officials and the rest of the people, The work is great and scattered, and we are separated on the wall, one far from another.

 In whatever place you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally to us there. Our God will fight for us. So we labored at the work while half of them held the spears from dawn until the stars came out. At that time also I said to the people, Let everyone with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that at night they may be a guard to us and a laborer during the day.

 So none of us—I, my kinsmen, my servants, nor the men of the guard who followed me—took off our clothes; each kept his weapon [in his hand for days].

I have been a target of the enemy since before I can remember. My earliest memories, the very first memories I have, became so ingrained into my heart and soul, are memories of fear, pain, rejection and abandonment. One was a reoccurring nightmare that I began having before I can remember anything else until I was 8 or 9 years old,  the other was an event that would scar me and leave me with a tormenting "spirit" until I was into my thirties. 

I don't want to share these things here, I only mention them because these things caused cracks in the foundations of my soul. I tried for many years to fill them with so many things, even to build upon that compromised foundation with spiritual things, good things and even ministry things, but God never wants us to have a broken foundation. He wants us strong from the ground up. Your soul matters to Him. Your body matters to Him. Your mind matters to Him.  

He wants to help you rebuild what has fallen, strengthen what has weakened and restore what has been removed.

Isaiah 54:11 (NLT)

11 “O storm-battered city,

    troubled and desolate!

I will rebuild you with precious jewels

    and make your foundations from lapis lazuli.

How do we "rebuild a life"? 

How do we strengthen the "walls of our soul"?

How do we "fortify the guard towers" of our mind and life?

How do we "close the gates" of our lives once and for all to The Flesh, The Devil and The World?

By His Grace, His Wisdom and by being and active participant in His Church. Fully engaging in the study of The Word. Fully taking part in our own discipleship and growth. Making permanent, solid decisions to eat healthier, be more active and seek the help we need, and if we are honest, want , from our Pastors, Christian Counselors and even Mental Health Professionals,(Spirit Filled, Bible Believing Doctors) in order to accomplish these things.

I cant stress enough how much The Lord loves you. He paid a price we cant possibly fully understand on this side of glory in order to purchase you from darkness, Spirit, Soul and Body. It is time we yield all of our members, all of our being, all of our hopes,dreams and passions to His Plan for us and His Church.

Are you ready to close the Gates of your life once and for all to the influences that have kept you from walking in all He longs for you to walk in? Will this year be a year of amazing adventures in Christ , not just for you, but His Church? 

It is up to us to simply say YES LORD! 

I am going to end this post with these questions stirring in your hearts. Take them into your prayer place and seek The Lord. My next post will be very practical, but powerful ways for us to take every piece of land The Lord has ordained for us to take. 

Smith Wigglesworth used to repeat over and over  "FAITH IS AN ACT". 

Get ready to ACT , and watch how God brings great glory to the Name of Jesus. His Name shall be honored and respectfully feared again throughout the seen and unseen world. It will all start with His people deciding to rebuild and to fight anything that tries to stop us.

Acts 19:17 (NLT)

The story of what happened spread quickly all through Ephesus, to Jews and Greeks alike. A solemn fear descended on the city, and the name of the Lord Jesus was greatly honored.

The LORD Our Redeemer!

Sometimes scripture alone can tell a story with very little commentary needed.

We have been reborn as New Creations in Christ.

We are living, breathing Temples, that carry Gods presence into this world and invades The Kingdom of Darkness with His Light! We were creating with a purpose, a purpose that is not unlike the purpose of The Temple that once held The Ark of The Covenant, which held the very Presence of God. We know, that on The Night Jesus was crucified, The Veil of The Temple tore, and The Presence of God left that house made of wood and gold, and entered the hearts of The Redeemed.

I sense in my heart that The Lord is calling His People to rebuild His Temples.

He is calling us to sure up the place of His Abode. He is not only demanding His People take inventory and take responsibility of their Spirits, Souls and Bodies, but, He is promising to be our strength and provider to do it well. He is fully vested in helping us and empowering us to become all He sees us becoming. 

We must strengthen those places we have let weaken. We must remove those things that we have allowed to take residence in our minds and bodies that offend His Holy Spirit. We must build up again the eternal things of our spirits, and give The Lord all that we have been holding back.

The Lord is ready for His Sons and Daughters to be revealed.

Let the following scriptures speak to your heart. It is time for us to make Gods Temple a place that gives Him Honor and Glory.

Isaiah 54:11 (NLT)

11 “O storm-battered city,
    troubled and desolate!

I will rebuild you with precious jewels
    and make your foundations from lapis lazuli.

2 Chronicles 8:1-6 (NLT)

1 It took Solomon twenty years to build the Lord’s Temple and his own royal palace. At the end of that time, 2 Solomon turned his attention to rebuilding the towns that King Hiram had given him, and he settled Israelites in them.

3 Solomon also fought against the town of Hamath-zobah and conquered it. 4 He rebuilt Tadmor in the wilderness and built towns in the region of Hamath as supply centers. 5 He fortified the towns of Upper Beth-horon and Lower Beth-horon, rebuilding their walls and installing barred gates.6 He also rebuilt Baalath and other supply centers and constructed towns where his chariots and horses could be stationed. He built everything he desired in Jerusalem and Lebanon and throughout his entire realm.

Ezra 1:3New Living Translation (NLT)

3 Any of you who are his people may go to Jerusalem in Judah to rebuild this Temple of the Lord, the God of Israel, who lives in Jerusalem. And may your God be with you!

Haggai 1:12-14 (NLT)

12 Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the whole remnant of God’s people began to obey the message from the Lord their God. When they heard the words of the prophet Haggai, whom the Lord their God had sent, the people feared the Lord. 13 Then Haggai, the Lord’s messenger, gave the people this message from the Lord: “I am with you, says the Lord!”

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.

Acts 15:16 (NLT)

16 ‘Afterward I will return

    and restore the fallen house of David.

I will rebuild its ruins

    and restore it,

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (NLT)

19 Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, 20 for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.

Luke 4:18-19 (NKJV)

18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,

Because He has anointed Me

To preach the gospel to the poor;

He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,

To proclaim liberty to the captives

And recovery of sight to the blind,

To set at liberty those who are oppressed;

19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”

Jude 20-21 (NLT)

20 But you, dear friends, must build each other up in your most holy faith, pray in the power of the Holy Spirit, 21 and await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will bring you eternal life. In this way, you will keep yourselves safe in God’s love.

Hebrews 12:12-13 (NKJV)

12 Therefore strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, 13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.

Philippians 1:6  (NLT)

6 And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.

Deceit of Darkness 2 - LET THERE BE LIGHT

Genesis 1:1-3 (AMPC)

 In the beginning God (prepared, formed, fashioned, and) created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and an empty waste, and darkness was upon the face of the very great deep. The Spirit of God was moving (hovering, brooding) over the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light; and there was light.

John 1:1-5 New Living Translation (NLT)

1 In the beginning the Word already existed.

    The Word was with God,

    and the Word was God.

2 He existed in the beginning with God.

3 God created everything through him,

    and nothing was created except through him.

4 The Word gave life to everything that was created,

    and his life brought light to everyone.

5 The light shines in the darkness,

    and the darkness can never extinguish it.

Now that I have seen, what do I say?

Now that I have heard, what do I do?

Now that I have written, what shall I declare?

I stand now at the door of the future, yes 2018, but beyond the coming year. We can no longer look at time through the narrow eyes of mans understanding. We must see time through the perspective of Gods Eternal Kingdom. Jesus Is LORD Of All Creation, including TIME. There are Plans and Purposes that must be fulfilled, that SHALL be fulfilled. However, Gods people are distracted, with much serving,learning and itching ears. We are busy, filling time with action, but little advancement. We are seeing the future with our minds and eyes clouded by the shadows of darkness and the fallen nature of this world. 

We need His Light to guide us safely into the shores and bays that we are to take HIS LIGHT into The Deep Darkness descending upon the world.

We have built caves of complacency and tradition. We have built safety nets of lies that tell us there is plenty of time. We put Gods plans for a Great Harvest and Time of Trouble safely in the distant future, allowing us to enjoy the things of this world as long as possible. The shadows have led us to believe, either consciously or sub-consciously, that The Lords plans are subject to the whims of His Leaders, and the braying of His Sheep. This will soon be revealed as a great lie and error. The LORD will burst through the walls of our man made caves and shine The Light of His Truth into every crack and crevasse.

 The final contractions of this age will come quickly. No man, Government or False Doctrine will delay or stop them. This age will close just as The WORD OF GOD declares.

Great Darkness will cover the Earth and Deep Darkness The People, BUT! His GREAT LIGHT will rise upon HIS PEOPLE, in His Name. The Light of The Gospel of His Kingdom shall be preached and demonstrated to all nations, then OUR LORD SHALL RETURN!

 With this eternal perspective, with a deep spiritual awe and respect for what God wants for His Church and The World: I stand on the edge of this coming year. In the spirit, I am still standing in what seems to be the dark place of shadows that I described in my previous post.

 I stand looking into The New Year. Looking into the places the shadows have their abode and have influenced Gods People. Inside my spirit a declaration is building. It is as if The Holy Spirit is once again hovering over the face of the deep. Ready for The Father to speak His Will on Earth as it is in Heaven. All of the seen and unseen world will hear:

LET THERE BE LIGHT

 The Light of Christ returning us to our first love. The Glory of Christ illuminating the hearts of His People and Leaders worldwide. There will be a pouring out of Light and Revelation that causes The Remnant to arise from haze. The winds of His Spirit shall blow away the fog and the whole of Gods people will cast off all shadows and darkness. We shall see as those who walked in the unfiltered Light of Christ Presence. The whole earth shall be filled with The Knowledge of The Glory & Light Of THE LORD!

 His Disciples shall know the great treasure Christ is. We shall treat the Name and Spirit of CHRIST AS A PEARL OF GREAT TREASURE ONCE AGAIN. We shall not be satisfied with anything less than Jesus Christ and His Righteousness.

Like blind men who have been given their sight again, we shall shall truly see.

First, some things must come. Repentance, Consecration, Dedication, Worship , Honor, Praise and a return to PRAYER. We must return to our first Love and His Great Commission to His Church.

"My" Prophetic Declaration for 2018?

For The Church?

For My Family?

For every Soul called by or to His Name and Kingdom?

For The World He so loved that He gave His Only Begotten Son?

LET THERE BE LIGHT!

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.
