For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7)


My precious Church, I love you, I am shaping you and preparing you for great things that I am going to do through you on this earth.
Many of you have begun to feel My Spirit leading you to deeper places of intimacy, you have begun living in realms of deeper revelation, you have begun to receive treasures from My Word that you never imagined. You have begun to see the manifestation of My Glory in your lives like never before.
Many of you have begun to hear Me more clearly and see more specifically what I am doing in your lives and in this earth. I have begun revealing more of My plans to many of you and more of My heart. I have begun taking many of you who have heard My call to a greater level of intimacy and discernment.
I am beginning to birth greater revelations, ministries and intercessory burdens through many of you. There has been a greater release of heavenly revelation upon many of your lives that is taking you to a place of such deep joy, and such deep dependence upon Me, you feel the spiritual atmosphere around you has changed. The air is pregnant with opportunities I am going to release into your lives to minister for Me in areas and ways you have not dreamed of.
Many of you are in this position of great excitement, anticipation and revelation, yet have been feeling assailed by the enemy with fear. The enemy has increased his attacks of fear upon many of My children as they are about to step into the next areas of their destinies in Me.
My people, when you hear My voice, when you receive the confirmation in Me, when you see it in My Word, and see My hand moving you, step out.
Assignments of tormenting fear has been released upon many of you to hinder you from taking these steps. Do not listen to the fear that speaks to you My people, for this is not from Me.
The enemy is releasing smokescreens over many of your lives, to cause your vision to be blurred and your focus to be swayed. The enemy has targeted many of you with this crippling tormenting fear to attempt to prevent you from stepping into the next opportunities I am releasing you into.
My people, take the words I have given you and hold to them. For as you hear Me speak, and see My heart for you, fear will fall to the ground. Fear cannot stand in My love, My love casts out all fear. So continue to check your hearts in My presence My people, make sure the enemy has no areas in your hearts where he can bring these attacks of fear into, to take up residence.
Breakthrough and heavenly outpourings of My revelation and joy are filling many of your lives. Many of you are about to step into positions of greater influence for My namesake, to take My Word and the revelation of My heart that I have placed within you, to the ends of the earth, so do not let the enemy trip you up, at the brink of release.
KNOW My people that you have the victory. KNOW that these assignments of fear released upon you are LIES and the enemy is bringing this against you because I am about to release the opposite into your lives. The enemy is attacking many in areas that I am about to bring release in.
The enemy is attacking many in the fear of death, I am about to bring you greater life to areas of your heart and lives that have felt dead, the enemy is attacking many in the fear of loss, I am about to release abundance to you, the enemy is attacking many in fear of failure and lack of provision, I am about to give you greater responsibility and provide greatly for you as you step out for My namesake.
The enemy is speaking to many through fear of unfulfilled dreams, wrong timing and hopelessness, I am about to released many INTO their dreams, NOW is the time, and with a renewed HOPE and passion that they have been crying out for.
My people, BE ENCOURAGED, for the enemy is attacking through fear in the VERY AREAS I am about to move in.
Families are about to be healed and released into My Kingdom work, singles are about to receive greater revelations of My heart, and plans for their lives, children are about to receive greater heavenly encounters of My heart and My love for them.
Rejoice My people, though the enemy attacks hard with fear, the victory you have is IN ME, and all his smokescreen whispers are falling to the ground as you hear My voice and see the WONDEROUS things I am about to do in your midst.
Laugh in the face of the enemy KNOWING that you are about to be released into opportunities for My Kingdom where you will see a move of My hand and heart that you have not seen before.
You are being released My people, the chains of fear will not hold you down as you seek Me, and obey all I have commanded you, continually allowing My Spirit to search your heart and do My work.
Fear is falling to the ground, release is happening.

Church In The Kingdom Age by Ron McGatlin

Church In The Kingdom Age by Ron McGatlin


The greatest and most glorious expression of church is the soon coming Bride of Christ, New Jerusalem, kingdom age church. The major shift from the "church or man emphasis age church" to the "kingdom or God emphasis age church" is perhaps the most exciting event since Pentecost The outpourings of the Spirit that brought the Pentecostal revival of a century ago and the renewal revival of a decade ago have reset the stage. The ingredients are now in place for the spiritual events that were planned and begun 2000 years ago.

....I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, Eph 3:14-15
The Bride church of New Jerusalem as described in Revelation 21 is a clear picture of the purified holy church of the kingdom of God age. The patterns and focus of the Bride church are heavenly. The focus of the "church age" church has been meeting the needs of man beginning with his salvation or redemption from sin. The focus of the "kingdom age" church is the glory of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

There are many aspects of the kingdom of God and all of the parts are necessary to make up the whole. There are two basic aspects to consider, Heaven and Earth or God and man. The kingdom that Jesus preached and taught is from heaven and for earth. His kingdom is not from earth but it is for earth. It is the kingdom of heaven come to earth. Therefore there is a heavenly side and an earthly side to the kingdom of God. The kingdom is of and from God; it is in and through man by the Holy Spirit.

Focus on the heavenly family.

The self nature of man has perverted the primary focus of the work of many churches and ministries in the past. Christian institutions have catered to the needs and desires of man creating a primary focus first on self and secondly on earthly family. Certainly the provision and well being of ourselves and our families is an important aspect of the kingdom of God. Truly God's desire is that earthly families reflect an image of our heavenly or spiritual family. However, having made our self and our family or even our church family the primary focus has robbed us of the reality of the fullness of our heavenly family.

A major principle of the kingdom is that seeking first (primarily focusing on) the kingdom of God causes all the other earthly things to be added in order. Focusing first on ourselves, and our natural or church families can actually prevent the provision of the very things we are seeking. First things must be first in the kingdom.

Mat 6:33 "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Luke 18:29-30: So He said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, "who shall not receive many times more in this present time, and in the age to come eternal life."
The first focus of selfish life is myself and just next to that is mine. My family, my friends, my stuff, my reputation, and so on. Catering to the desires of self in people is eroding the crumbling institutional church as individual lives corrupt and families fall apart. An intense focus on correcting the symptoms and fixing the problems through training by psychological and intellectual methods may have provided some surface healing of the problems but has totally failed to cure the problems and bring forth the kingdom of God lifestyle.

The kingdom of God church reality must be revealed in our spirits.

The kingdom church is a spiritual reality. It is the FAMILY OF GOD. The FATHER and the SON from heaven on earth indwelling the many sons of the Body of Christ by the Holy Spirit.

Our first kingdom priority is our spiritual family relationship with FATHER who is above all and His only begotten SON who is King of earth and Heir to the throne of heaven with the many sons who are joint heirs.
Sons who are born spiritually by the Holy Spirit into Christ are sons with Him. As they live and walk in the Holy Spirit as mature sons they experience the fullness of the kingdom as heirs with Christ.

Rom 8:13-17: For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father." The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs; heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. (The Greek word translated adoption above is: huiothesia:G5206 - sonship or the placing as a son)

One of the characteristics of a natural blood line family is something called DNA. There is a spiritual equivalent to DNA. Birthed by the Spirit of God into Christ and receiving the Spirit of Christ, implants the family line spiritual DNA of God which transforms our spiritual DNA to the family blood line of God by the Spirit of adoption. By the Holy Spirit, the very life of Christ carrying the spiritual DNA of Father abides within true sons. Only by the Spirit can we relate to our spiritual family in heaven and earth.

The kingdom age order of church is "spiritual family" relationships.

Kingdom church gatherings are spiritual meetings of the HEAVENLY FAMILY IN THE HOLY SPIRIT. Not just natural family and not just church family - HEAVENLY FAMILY IN THE SPIRIT. Our gatherings in the kingdom church age are a coming together with God our Father and Jesus our mediator and with holy angels and spirits of mature just men (sons).

Heb 12:22-24: But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.
In a gathering including God the judge of all and Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, who among you is willing to stand and take charge of the meeting? We all will want to know the Holy Spirit is moving in us and directing us before we speak. Every word not spoken by the Spirit is an idle word and is of no value in the kingdom family assembly. Also who is ready to resist and not move or speak when and as the Spirit directs.

Heb 12:25-26: See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, "Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven."
People walking in the flesh who are by nature carnal minded cannot possibly relate in heavenly family gatherings. They can relate to natural family and man focused "church" gatherings but not to spiritual family gatherings. Religious institutions that are focused on the natural can grow rapidly by feeding the needs of carnal Christians and by employing intellectual wisdom and psychological adjustments toward lessening the symptoms and coping with the problems generated by self focused living. These works can never solve the deep problems generated by a lack of intimate relationship with God through Jesus by the Holy Spirit. It is only by the Holy Spirit that the word can become alive and powerful in changing lives and eventually the world.

This pattern is very different from most of our past experiences. This indeed is one of the major changes and paradigm shifts that we have heard was coming and didn't know what it was. Now it is coming clearly into view. It is one major step in regaining our destiny as a people of God and as a nation.

In America the destiny of God has again been delayed by another generation that has been overtaken with self and religion. The Holy Spirit is again seeking to bring forth a new generation of young and old, rich and poor, male and female, and of every race who will regain the passion of the destiny of the kingdom of God from heaven coming forth in our nation and across the world. The shaking and crumbling of life and religion as we have known them are just part of the great change God is bringing through Jesus in His maturing sons by the Holy Spirit. Yet once more God is reaching for a people of passion who will receive the kingdom of God.

Heb 12:27-13:1: Now this, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire. Let brotherly love continue.

A Far More Eternal Weight Of Glory

CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS

A FAR MORE ETERNAL WEIGHT OF GLORY


Are you glad that Father God takes the time and care to lovingly correct you when you are wrong?  Are you thankful that He does not just let you go on in your own way?  Let us praise God that we have a Father that loves us so very much.  It is not enjoyable when we are corrected but after the tears, produced is the peaceable fruit of righteousness.  God's children are being pruned that they might bear more fruit.  Are you wanting to bear more fruit?  Then do not say ouch when the pruning process starts. 

Begin to praise Him and thank Him for working in your life.  Weeping endures for a night but joy does come in the morning.  The body of Christ desires to carry His glory and so together we must go forward and die daily so that we might be one glorious body fit for the Masters service. Rejoice that you are a partaker of Christ's sufferings, knowing that the things you are going through now will produce a far more eternal weight of glory. 

 11Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. Heb. 12:11

Take Up Your Cross And Follow Me

CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS
Take Up Your Cross And Follow Me


There is a suffering for the people of God who have chosen the way of the cross, taking up their cross and following Him. It brings suffering to the saint of God who hears those that do not serve Him speak evil against the Word of God. It makes ones heart cry to hear the Lord spoken of in an evil way. Yet, you have not resisted and had to shed your own blood for sin.

Continue to pray for those that despite fully use you and commit the keeping of your soul to the Lord. God understands your tears and He knows your heart of love for Him. Beloved endure hardness as a good soldier of Christ and commit the keeping of your soul to Me. I hear it all and see it all and I am pleased with your heart of love and holiness toward Me. Take up your cross daily and follow Me and I will deal with those that continue to speak against My word. Your part is to love and pray and see Me move in your life. Take up your cross and follow Me.You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood in your striving against sin; Heb. 12:4 (NASB)

Invest In The Kingdom Of God

CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS


INVEST IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD


Many things have shifted in this new season. Some friendships have shifted and this will position each one in the body as He wills. Do not resist the change but flow with it. Many friendships will be better and more Kingdom oriented as a result. Those friendships that were not for My kingdom purposes will fall from your life. Continue as you are led to pray for them but do not try to hold on to them for they will hinder you in the season ahead. Be aware also of those the enemy tries to put there to slow you down and keep you from doing that which needs to be done. I am setting my house in order. Time in My Word, prayer and intercession will bring dividends in the time ahead so take time now to invest in the Kingdom of God.

33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Matt. 6:33 (NKJV)

Prayer Of Agreement For Israel by Joel Rosenberg



Prayer of Agreement for Israel
(read out loud)


              Our Father which art in heaven, let Your Kingdom come and let Your will be done on earth (especially in Washington DC) as it is in heaven.  Lord, we know this is not a battle of flesh and blood, but with principalities, powers, and ruling spirits.  Father, we ask You to raise Your right hand and extend Your arm against the enemy that is trying to destroy Israel.
               
              We release, in the Name of Jesus, justice, truth, and righteousness at the gates of our nation. We declare the justice, truth, and righteousness of God at the Gates of the UN. We declare justice, truth, and righteousness over the Palestinians, Iran, and Turkey!  We in the Body of Christ declare defeat to the enemy. We declare confusion in the enemy's camp. We declare the fear of God upon the enemy.  We together also declare that as the enemy comes in, like a flood God will set up a standard and defeat the enemy!

              Not by our might or power, but by the Spirit of the Living God.  Lord, we pray a hedge of protection around the Israeli prime minister, his family, and all his aids.  We pray the Blood of Jesus over his mind and body, and we ask You, Lord, to bless the prime minister with Your wisdom, knowledge, and revelation.  We declare the Word of God- that no weapon formed against him shall prosper, and every tongue that rises up against him in judgment shall be brought to shame!  We ask for more boldness and courage to stand and keep standing.  We ask You, Lord, to place around him righteous Jews to intercede on his behalf and speak truth into him.  Lord, we ask You to give BB ears to hear your truth.  We also ask for Your blessing of abundant and extreme grace to be upon the prime minister as he speaks to the UN.  We thank You, Lord, for answering all of our prayers. In Jesus' Name we pray, Amen and Amen (So be it).

Contending For The Faith

Contending For The Faith

The days of great contending are here. You are battling for the faith of your fathers.  Abraham stood, the prophets of old stood at great cost and you are no different.  My Word will sustain you through the most difficult of times.  My Word is your help and strength, indeed it is your healing.  Stand fast beloved and do not be moved but contend for the faith today.

Believe me for great things and do not back down but hold your position and I will show you when to press in and take more ground away from the enemy. He has no right to you!  He has no hold on you!  You are free in Christ!!!  Believe My Word and do not look at your situation.  Look to me the author and finisher of your faith.

The apostles of old stood.  You will stand against all odds.  Take the sword of the Lord and fight with it.  Wield it with power.  It is a sharp sword and I will sharpen that which is within you even further.  I am the sword so spend much time in My presence.  I am the one that will refresh in you the tactics to fight.  The armor of God is what protects you so do all that you know in your heart to do, praying in the spirit at all times.  It will lift you up, it will bring revelation, and you will be strengthened.

Above all do not fear.  This is but one tactic of the enemy.  Cover yourself and others with the blood of Jesus.  Fight the good fight of faith and lay hold on eternal life.  The greatest battle ever is yet to come, even at the door so contend daily in the little battles, for the bigger ones will bring victory and you will take the spoils of the enemy as you will will have learned to contend in the small ones.  

Pay attention maintaining health of body, soul and spirit for you will prosper and be in good health even as your soul prospers.  Rest in me for all that you need and do not be moved from your position seated in the heavenlies far above all principalities and powers.  Maintain the rest spoken of by me in My Word and fear lest you do not enter it.

Surrender all to me, all that you own, all that you are and even your ministry need to be on the altar to me.  Indeed I am the head of every ministry in the body of Christ and without me in the center you have no ministry.  Minister out of relationship, fire and love for Jesus for without me your ministries will be powerless.  I am the power for I am on the throne.  Allow me the pre-eminence and do not touch My glory.  I will do much with each one of you as you give me all the glory.  I am the glory do not touch it and do my prophets no harm.

Rise up in praise and worship for it will elevate you above all your problems for I inhabit the praises of My people.  I live in your praises.  Exalt me in all situations.  Be aware of what is going on inside you and give no place to the enemy.  Contend beloved children, contend for the faith. The river of life is within you. Keep it flowing by being filled with my word, prayer, praise and intercession, drinking daily from that river.

There are those of you that drink little and that is why you have little power.  There is healing in that river of life for your bodies, refreshing for your soul and your spirit will soar like an eagle if you would but drink.  Come to the river, come for I am calling you to dine at my table.  Come and sit with me for I would be your Father, and I would comfort you as a mother comforts her children.  Come to me and do not delay nor be stubborn but come to me, now.

Tides of refreshing will flow as you run to me.  Prepare in the spiritual for it is first and foremost and then prepare in the natural as I speak into your spirit.  Much is out there online and if my children would heed me as much as they heed the words of others they would do well.  Many do not know My voice and are floundering.  Know My voice for my sheep know me.  Beloved children, know me and do not follow the voice of another.  It is with much contending that you will lay hold on eternal life.  Take time to know me.

Battling For The Soul Of A Nation!


CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS

Battling For The Soul Of A Nation!

911 has been in my thoughts as we view news clips of a decade past. Hearts with hope that day crushed by the impact of the terrible attack on America. Innocence robbed from so many youth as they in their prime years viewed such loss in their homes and families. Firefighters, so valiant, officials giving up their lives to rescue others. Many still trying to make sense of it all, when only God holds the answers for our lives.

It seemed that early morning as the planes flew into the towers and the Pentagon that God had taken His hand of protection off of America. There was a breach called sin that the enemy could penetrate and he did.
How well has America recovered? How well have adjacent nations done in their own country to deal with deep seated sin issues at hand. Can this war against terrorism be fought in conventional ways or do God's prophets and others need to remain in the prayer closet and battle for the soul of a nation.

We are no longer calling sin, sin in many churches. The Word of God has been sacrificed, for lunches and flowery messages that tickle the soul without bringing life changes so necessary for our nation to survive. Throughout scripture the protection of a nation is in direct correlation as to whether or not that nations God is the Lord.

Do those who are not walking with Jesus have a right to that protection? Does a nation who is now permitting same sex marriage, as does Canada, have a legal right to protection? Sin is a reproach to any nation. We have removed the ten commandments from our schools and teach our children instead that alternate lifestyles are okay and condone them. We want our schools protected and yet have thrown the Lord out of our them. Gone is the day that prayer starts the day in our classrooms.

May God help us to get it right. These are not the only sins in our nation and all sin is grievous to a Holy God. Sin separates man from God and so we must ALL lay aside our sin if we are to live in peace and have protection. It starts in the house of God! What are we preaching from our pulpits? Are we walking in the whole counsel of God or do we walk in fear of man? God loves the sinner, and the Lord knows each heart and that we are but dust, but now is the time for lasting change that can only come through true repentance.

Now is the time to repent of sin. The doors are open and the Trojan horse has entered and the enemy is already in our nations just waiting to strike again. Canada is not exempt and yesterday when hearing of the quake on Vancouver Island the Lord had me begin to repent of the sins in our nation, naming some. We are at a crossroads and it is NOW that we must make a decision to be hard on sin and eradicate it from our individual lives. Leadership needs to examine their hearts and see if there is any wicked way in them. How can they lead a people if they are walking in sin themselves? The blind cannot lead the blind and so we must pray without ceasing for lasting change.

Pray for our enemies and pray for those that despitefully abuse us and persecute us. Pray also for the peace of Jerusalem as we see it heating up in the middle east. There is a direct correlation to the nations of the earth whose God is the Lord and their walking in peace.

To the Nations leaders, open your eyes to the Word of God and see that if you come against Israel in trying to divide Gods land that you are coming against the Lord.

In remembering 911 know that we are still battling for the soul of a nation. Let us pray and intercede each doing our part. Perhaps Joplin could have been averted, and 911 never happened had the body of Christ been fervent in prayer and intercession. Let us repent of OUR sin, and move on to a new place in God. A place of prayer and intercession that overturns the world and forever changes it for good.

Let us watch and pray standing on guard for our nation knowing that Christ is the only answer for ALL nations and that He would have all men to come to the knowledge of the truth.

1I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
2For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 1 Timothy 2: 1-2

Prayer For Africa


CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS

Prayer For Africa


The Lord woke me up this morning and so I came downstairs at exactly three am eastern time. As I began to pray in the spirit the only word I recognized was, Mandela and somehow equated my praying to do with former President Mandela and Africa. I even did a militant march down my hallway after praying for awhile. Whatever the need it was on Father's heart and then I wondered how old this man was and saw that he was ninety three. I said Lord are you taking him home shortly. It was a thought and I am not making it a thus saith the Lord except to say, we need to pray for Africa and her people that the Lord will set all things right and bring in a harvest of souls. He makes everything beautiful in His time.

Say not you, There are yet four months, and then comes harvest? behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. John 4:35

Spiritual Spam

CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS

SPIRITUAL SPAM


Looking at my email page and seeing spam listed I wondered if the people of God sometimes send the Lord spam in their communication with Him. We need to be mindful of just what kind of prayers we are praying and not just send anything up to the throne of grace. Let us be praying unselfish, spirit led prayers that hit the target and get results, bringing the will of God from heaven to earth. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. How you pray can and should be making a difference!


14And this is the confidence (the assurance, the privilege of boldness) which we have in Him: [we are sure] that if we ask anything (make any request) according to His will (in agreement with His own plan), He listens to and hears us. 1 John 5:14 (AMP)

Pray For Those Sent To The Nations!

CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS

Pray For Those Sent To The Nations!




There are those that travel regularly to the nations to preach the gospel of the Kingdom. They need our prayer and intercession during those times. Let us stand on guard for them, praying for the Lord to use them and protect them. There has been and always will be an onslaught against men and women of God who are willing to pay the price and lay down their lives for the brethren. Together we will thwart the plans of the enemy and see a harvest of souls brought into the Kingdom.

9For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries. 1 Cor. 16:9

The Lord of The Breakthrough! by Apostle Adrienne Williams

The Lord of The Breakthrough!



It is written, "I will surely assemble all of you, O Jacob, I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together like sheep of the fold, like a flock in the midst of their pasture; they shall make a loud noise because of so many people. The one who breaks open will come up before them; they will break out, pass through the gate, and go out by it; their king will pass before them, with the LORD at their head." (Micah 2:12-13 NKJV).

People of God, in order for us to walk in FULL authority in the earth, we MUST understand that our way has ALREADY been made. Power, authority and dominion belongs to those whom BELIEVE as such! He has given these things unto us and now we MUST function as such.

The body of Christ awaits and has need for that which GOD has placed in YOU! Begin thanking God TODAY for HE IS our Lord of the breakthrough!

Father, we thank you for going before us to BREAK THROUGH every form of bondage and hindrance that would attempt to delay us from walking in POWER, AUTHORITY and DOMINION in the earth! We thank you that every chain, every weight AND every fetter has been broken!

We thank you for placing an anointing upon us that will SHATTER strongholds rendering us FREE and at liberty to walk in your ways! You ARE the Lord of the Breakthrough and we THANK YOU for the BREAKER'S anointing that you have given unto us!

For it is written, "And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing." (Isaiah 10:27 KJV).

Father, we thank you that, even NOW, someone is realizing the power that you have granted them to BREAK THROUGH the situation that may even be hindering them at this very moment! We thank you for the ability that you have given us to WALK IN deliverance!

STIR UP THE GIFTS in us, Father, that we dominate in the earth for YOUR glory! We decree it so NOW and so shall it be according to thy word! In Jesus' name!

Grace and peace,
Apostle Adrienne Williams

Call On The Name Of The Lord!


Call On The Name Of The Lord!

One just has to turn on the television or internet to know that we are living in a time of great unrest and fear.  Man knows that the world is turning upside down and that they need an answer but are they willing to turn their lives over to Jesus?

 That is the long and the short of it for there is salvation in no other name and no other name under heaven where man can be saved.  We cannot put a bandage on the problems of this world. It seems like a can of worms that we can no longer put a lid on,and things are manifesting all over that are not God but the enemy trying to have dominion.  What do we do at times like these?  We were told to watch and pray!  As believers this is what we need to be doing, standing in the gap.  Now I know that some are getting tired of hearing this but it is something that we need to be hearing and doing.  Let us pray that He will have dominion from sea to sea and from the river to the end of the earth.

Many of God's children, still spend more time on the internet, and in front of the television than they do in prayer.  Many of God's children are still busy about much but not about their fathers business.  Sadly if they do not open their eyes and ears they are going to be sadly lacking in the protection of the Word of God in the days to come.  It is time to come out of this world, repent of sin and get right with God!  Yes, many need to get their hearts right with Jesus.  It is time to call sin, just what it is and come out and be separate. 

The time of separation is here and we must call on the Lord and choose our friends wisely.  Call on the Lord now and He will answer you.  Call on the Lord now for He is the only answer to fear.  He is the only answer to your finances and He alone is the answer to your family issues.  He is the only answer for the nations of the earth who are turned upside down and sin ridden.  He is the only answer when it comes to leadership.  Plainly Jesus is the only answer to this worlds troubles and as they get greater, Jesus will become more and more to those that will believe on His name, turn their lives over to Him and serve Him.

What are you waiting for?  Why do you delay?  Come to Jesus now, without delay, repent of your sin, and once and for all decide to serve Him.  He is your answer and calling out to you today.  Come.



33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

Is That REALLY What God Said? by Apostle Adrienne Williams


Is That REALLY What God Said?

Mouthpieces for God, it is not always "the people" whom are trying to "muzzle" you or keep you from "speaking" on behalf of God. On the contrary, sometimes, it is GOD Himself doing "damage control" and advising us to SIT STILL and BE QUIET until we have learned to PROPERLY administer His word to cause edification to the body of Christ as opposed to causing additional damage!

Be it known that "Cry loud and spare not" DOES NOT, in any way, grant permission for us to say any old thing, in any old manner, at any given time!

God is seeking DISCIPLINED mouthpieces that are going to administer their gifts accordingly as well as continually SUBMIT those gifts to HIM that they may be governed properly in the earth AND in the body of Christ.

If God can not trust you to properly deliver a "small" word, then certainly He would not send you with a word of correction OR judgment to ANYONE until you have matured to a place to administer such without "adding" your emotions or your own "twist" into the equation. You may send your own self, but God will not until He knows that you will obey and deliver ONLY the words that HE speaks!

If God can not trust a mouthpiece to simply get up, say a scripture and SIT DOWN, as the pastor requested, but they have to try and "deliver a word" or "give a mini-sermonette" instead, then it will definitely be a while before God opens a door to more responsibility for that vessel because they have not yet mastered being faithful over a little!

This is why we observe much non-sense and error being released "in the name of the Lord" on venues such as Facebook, NING, MySpace and other social media networks as well. In many cases (but not all), these are those who have not allowed themselves to be disciplined concerning their gifts inside OR outside of a church setting so they use venues such as these to build their OWN platforms to spew out all manner of teachings and inspirations in the name of Jesus when GOD Himself may NOT have spoken such.


It is not always the devil trying to shut our mouths! But sometimes it is GOD attempting to keep us from getting our own selves in trouble!

Grace and peace,
Apostle Adrienne Williams

Many Are Called...

 


Many Are Called...

For many are called, but few are chosen. Matt. 22:14
Interpretation of a Dream Given To Me by the Lord:

I keep hearing the scripture "many are called but few are chosen". I think the pastor represents the Lord and he is calling out individuals [those who are compassionate and weeping over the needs of human kind]. Some stepped up and chose to follow Him and then He looked to you and you stepped forward. The woman speaking may have been a distraction to you to listen to her voice in the process of walking forward and stepping into the full measure of the calling of Christ Jesus....
(interpretation by Apostle/Pastor Ruby Underwood a true friend and mentor in the Lord).

In this dream I knew Father was speaking to myself to come deeper but also there was/is a message in it to the body of Christ. For many are called, but few are chosen. 14 Matt. 22: The spirit of God is looking for those that will follow Him regardless of the cost. In the dream many were seated in the meeting but as the Lord stopped the meeting and called forward those that had tears of intercession in their eyes, there were only three myself included that has tears and came forward. Few were willing to pay the price.

Many talk about intercession, write about intercession but do NOT spend any concrete time interceding. The Father is looking for intercessors to stand in the gap, will you be one of them? Will those called die to self, and go deeper into this much needed place of intercession. It is a lonely place and one that man will not see but the Father looks upon the heart. He sees into the deep recesses and is calling deep unto deep and saying to you, will you be that one, that intercessor that will speak in the prayer chamber to the Lord on behalf of men?

Will you stand in the gap that people can be spared, and come to know Me? Will you watch, and pray and be that one to turn around events and see that judgment is lessened or averted altogether in the life of those that do not deserve His mercy and grace? God is looking at you brother, Father God is calling you sister into the place of intercession. Put aside all the distractions for they are many and enter into your place of prayer. Stay there till the calamity is past.

Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me: for my soul trusts in you: yes, in the shadow of your wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be over. Psalm 57:1

Be willing to pray! Do not doubt your effectiveness because the enemy tells you that you do little good and cannot pray. If you were ineffective he would not tell you this.

Come to Me with a clean heart, a pure heart, and enter into My presence with praise and true worship. I am speaking to you and many do not know My voice. I AM calling you! In this hour the Lord does NOT want you distracted with anything. He does NOT want your eyes on the titles of men but wants you to see past the outward appearance the hidden man of the heart. There is much to distract in this hour. Many things can appear as an angel of light but unless you bend your knee before Me you will not be able to discern. Rightly divide the word of truth. Learn to walk past the distractions, and hear My call. Many things may look good but discern if time spent in this way will allow you to fulfill you true calling as that intercessor God has called you to be.

The Lord is laying things on the line. He has entreated many and called but you have not responded. The warm bed at night feels good and a little slumber leaves the body of Christ open to attack. We are living in a time where intercessors must be on the wall. The Word of God needs to be prayed by the Spirit that His Kingdom may come and His will be done in the earth. Hear what the Spirit of God is saying to you today. Hear His voice for He is entreating you to come to Him. Spend time with Me and I will honour it. Spend time with Me and know Me. Hear My Still small voice for I am speaking to you, beloved come into our prayer chamber and spend time with Me. Come.

"I searched for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand in the gap before Me for the land, so that I would not destroy it; but I found no one. Ezekiel 22:30

And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him. Isaiah 59:16

The Kingdom Of God Is Within

CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS



The Kingdom Of God Is Within



Never become satisfied where you are at in God. Never become complacent but always desire to go deeper and know Me more fully. My presence is fullness of joy. At my right hand are pleasures forevermore. Seek first the Kingdom of God and My righteousness and all things will be added to you, pressed down, shaken together and running over. Desire My presence above all else. Desire Me and I will give to you all that is in the Kingdom, to further it FOR MY GLORY! Though the earthly Kingdoms shake and crumble, the Kingdom of God will last forever. The Kingdom of God is within you. I am doing a work in the hearts of My remnant. I am doing a lasting work NOW in My children. I call you children because I said that unless you become as little children you will not enter the Kingdom of God.





The Kingdom of God has come. It is within you. Open your eyes and see even where I have placed you for My glory now and in the future. You have been strategically placed, that others might come to know Me. I am putting people around you and they may not be who you would choose but they are the needy that need to learn of Me, that need salvation and freedom and need to grow up into mature sons and daughters of the Lord. This is your place of deeper learning. For many seasons you have been fed but now in turn you are feeding My sheep. Did I not say to Peter, if you love me, feed My sheep three times?





It is now a time to see the fields for they are white to harvest. Feed My Sheep! Feed them for they are hungry. Feed them for they are lost. Feed them for they are in hospitals dying without Me. If you love Me then feed the hungry, feed the lost, feed the dying with heavenly manna that they might never thirst again. This is the message of the Kingdom, love joy and peace in the Holy Spirit. Sow love, sow joy, sow peace in the Spirit to those that are hungry for I will lay them on your path, I will take you to them, and bring them to you.





You have entered a new season of understanding My will in a deeper way. You are beginning to have new understanding to that which I am doing. Behold I do a new thing in your heart. I am stretching you. It is about the needs of others. It is about being strategically placed to meet those needs. You are a vessel that is open to being used. Shine as a light on a hill that cannot be hid and do not hide your light under a bushel. In other words, be available to be used by Me, instant in season and out for the greater glory of My Kingdom. My light will shine in you. They will see My love and it will draw them as a bee is drawn to honey. Trust Me and I will fulfill My promises in you.



Come against all that is coming against you and your family and have new hope that the dead bones will live. They dry places will be watered again. Hearts that have been parched, because of a lack of My Word will be watered again. The Kingdom of God will come within them as you intercede fervently for your family to be stirred. Do not be surprised at that which I will do and do not think that I move in conventional ways, for the ways of My Spirit are according to My Word and will. Kingdom purposes will be fulfilled even in the storms of life. They are often used for the greater glory so pray, watch and see that which I will do.





I am going to be manifested in you, in your family, in the body of Christ and the Kingdom of God will burn in their hearts. Did not the disciples say, that their hearts burned within them? I am kindling a new fire in your heart. I have heard the cry. I have seen the need and desire for more of Me. I said this is a new season so enter it with joy and expect greater things for the Kingdom of God. My love for you has no end. Fear not but put your trust in Me and I will fulfill My word in you.





But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come on you. Luke 11:20

Divinely Positioned For Kingdom Purposes

Divinely Positioned For Kingdom Purposes

There are those that have not tried to elevate themselves but waited and allowed Me to divinely position them.  They have waited on Me for that elevation and not looked for the elevation of man.  Mans praise will be short lived, for man is one way today and another tomorrow.  My Word is the most sure word of prophecy and is always stable, always the same, yesterday, today and forever.  I do not change for I am the Lord.  I am watching over those that are mine, My bride, My beloved.  I am watching over you with Godly jealousy.  I would that you turn to Me fully for all that you need and depend on Me.  In the days ahead rely on Me to get you through the tough times.  I alone will bring you through to completion.  I alone will be your provision.  I am always the one that takes care of My bride thought it is often done though others.  Be positioned in your heart toward Me, be fully turned toward Me in all things. 

 Fear now that which is to come, but fear Me for I am your Father and My love for you never fails.  Discern all things and do not go by outward appearance at any time.  Things look good that may be evil.  There are those that will reach out to you and you need to discern the heart.  Pray without ceasing and wait on Me and your ears will hear and your eyes will see.  Be positioned on your face before Me, interceding for the needs, first in leadership, them in your families and churches.  See the nations, they are in turmoil.  Pray as led by My Spirit and do not let up but bombard heaven, and find answers to what you see before you.  Pray into these situations as led of My Spirit and come together with others to pray.

 Do not forsake the assembling of yourselves together, though groups are as little as two or there, I am there in your midst.  It is not the numbers, man looks for the numbers but I am looking to see Jesus and if I am there in the midst this is the important thing.  Look and discern, do I see Jesus here.  Do I see the moving of Holy Spirit, are others walking in holiness.  It is these that you must fellowship with.  Iron sharpens iron and you must fellowship with those that will bring you higher.  You are being called higher.  I am the Lord and there will soon come an end to that which you have known, eternity will be ushered in and it is time to be busy bringing in the harvest.  See the fields for they are white to harvest.  Pray them in, go and get them and preach the gospel of the Kingdom to every person that not one might be lost. 

 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, pray for the Jewish people that they might see Jesus.  Pray that all things will be put in divine order and there will be order in My house.  I am a God of divine order.  I am a God that is holy.  I am a God of peace.  The Kingdom of God is love, joy and peace in the Holy Spirit.  Draw night to Me and I will come close to you.  Seek the Kingdom of God first and His righteousness and all things will be added to you to do My Work.  The Kingdom of God supplies your need.  It is the Kingdom of God that will finance your work of ministry.  The Kingdom of God has an unlimited supply for all that I am calling you to do.  Appropriate it by faith.  By faith, see the Kingdom of God for it is within you.  Indeed the Kingdom came and the church was born, pray that others see the Kingdom of God.  Allow Me to do a lasting work that will bear fruit for the Kingdom of God.  Behold I am coming in your hearts as you open them to Me and I am returning for a glorious church.  Prepare your hearts and make yourself ready.  Behold I come quickly!

Honouring Leadership

CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS

Honouring Leadership


The Apostle Paul did not mince words when he said, "Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:" 2 Timothy 4:14. There are times that we need to warn others about enemies of the cross of Christ. Where is the line between speaking the truth in love, warning and judging. We are to protect the body of Christ, standing guard against the jezebel spirit that would speak against the true prophet of the Lord, supposedly pointing the finger and calling good evil and evil good.

This spirit would try and murmur against the true prophetic voice and cause dissention in the body of Christ. It even tries to dig itself in with leadership to undermine true prophetic authority. We need to love people but hate the spirit that operates through them to kill, steal and destroy.

Just the other day the Lord had me warn a person who would come into contact with one such man. This man over a period of years has come against a true prophet of God. Little things, like taking a scripture about a false prophetess and then pointing the finger at the authentic woman of God. We need to ask the Lord to bless these people the way they need blessing, but also to restrain their evil work.

No more should we allow the foe to speak against God's prophets. We need to discern enough not to receive the lie. We need to see the enemy at a distance and discern his evil work. No more will we allow the enemy to come against the true prophetic voice.

No more will we stay silent and allow the foe to do his dirty work. No more will those voices be entertained and one must not even listen to their murmuring but say, "I do not want to listen to gossip". It is time for the church to not listen to the murmuring and gossip against authorities in the body of Christ. Many listen to their Pastor being maligned and do nothing. Many stand aside and allow others to speak against true apostles and prophets of God. It is time church to take a stand for the Lord against those that would be used by the enemy, ever so sweetly in the church under the guise of we must pray about this. How often the foe comes along and says, let me share this with you but beloved, it is not for prayer it is to gossip.

Let us put an end to gossip in the church. Let it stop now, says the LORD. I have called My people by My name and they have been called to honour Me. They are to speak in holiness and love one another. I am not returning for a body that is full of gossip but one that is filled with My Spirit. It is time for the mouth of My own to have hot coals put to their lips, for many are children with unclean lips. Their hearts are far from Me when they gossip against those for whom I paid the price in full. My bride is to be protected. My apostles and prophets are to be honoured for they are indeed leadership in My body. No more will I allow these things to take place without raising up a standard against those that speak evil against My servants. Repentance is needed for the words spoken against those in authority that have been set into My body. I will forgive, and remember the sin no more when there is true repentance. Pray for those in authority over you and love one another with a pure heart.

So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. Romans 14:2

NOW Is The Accepted Time!

NOW IS THE ACCEPTED TIME!

It is NOW time to pray and intercede!  It is NOW time to sing and worship the Lord your God.  It is NOW time to believe Me for great and mighty things.  It is NOW time to open your eyes and see that which is taking place in My church and in the world.  It is NOW time to let truth be revealed to you.  It is NOW time to stand up and be counted for Me.  It is NOW time to read the Word of God and let it become a part of your daily life.  It is NOW time the take the Word of God and chew on it, digest it and let it do a work in your life. It is NOW time to stand for truth and not back down because the enemy would have you to fear that which is coming on the earth.  It is NOW time to stand on the promises in My Word.  It is NOW time to take the sword of the Lord and fight for that which I have promised you.  Stand NOW and fight for that which has been spoken to you.  Stand NOW and fight for your health and finances.  Stand and do not be deterred.  This is a word about NOW for you have no assurance of tomorrow.  Now is the day of your salvation.  NOW is the day of your deliverance.  Walk in freedom NOW.  Walk in faith NOW.  Rejoice in the Lord NOW.  Share your faith with others NOW.  Be delivered NOW from all that hinders you.  NOW IS THE ACCEPTED TIME!!!



For he said, I have heard you in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored you:  behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) 2 Cor. 6:2

Divinely Positioned To Receive?

Divinely Positioned to Receive

Are you divinely position to receive?  Often we wonder why we are not receiving God's promises in our lives and others seem to have all the blessings.  We need to take time with Father and see if we are doing that which the Lord would have us to do.  Are we walking in obedience to His Word in accordance to God's government?  Are we doing the best of our ability to win that husband or wife to the Lord?  Submitting to one another in the fear of God. Are we loving as Jesus loved and putting the Kingdom of God before all else in our lives? Doing these things will position us where are able to receive from the Lord.  

In His Kingdom are exceeding great and precious promises and we are to appropriate them by faith, stand on them, and claim them as ours, for they were paid for in full by the blood of Jesus.  We are to walk in His fullness and out of it give to others. 

Lately I have seen much rebellion from one in the body of Christ.  Over years they have fed into this spirit and the jezebel spirit is manifesting as is the spirit of anti Christ.   They had and still do have such potential in Christ but the death of self needs to come and they need deliverance from these spirits. Sincere repentance is need in their life. The more one feeds on rebellion the more they will be taken over by the enemy.  Doors need to be shut, and repentance needs to come for this one to truly be restored to their rightful place in Christ.  You see beloved, we can toy too long with sin and sooner or later it will bite.  We cannot partake of the Lord's table and the table of devils. Only in taking up our cross and following Him will we find true happiness.  

Kingdom living means being seated in Heavenly Places in Christ and by faith appropriating ALL that this means.  We cannot sit there and dangle our toes in the world and think we will receive from the Lord.  Sin only looks good for a season and so are its pleasures.  If you have come short of the glory of God, repent and He will forgive you your sin.  Decide once and for all to come out of the world and walk faithfully with Father each day.  If you repent of your sin, He is faithful and just to forgive you from your sin and cleanse you from all unrighteousness. 

Position yourself with a listening ear to Father and let Him show you where you are at today.  Then you will be Divinely positioned to receive all that the Lord has for you.  His exceeding great and precious promises are yours by faith so reach out to Him today and receive. The Kingdom of God and His government is one of Divine order.  Let Father restructure your life today. Open your eyes and see that the Kingdom of God is within you.  32And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?  Luke 24:32

The Love Of The Father, The Love Of A Dad

The Love Of The Father, The Love Of A Dad
by Patricia Hamel

I am ever grateful to God for the love of my earthly Dad who went to be with the Lord in February 2007. He was eighty one years young and on fire for Jesus till the morning he went home. He loved the Lord and the scriptures say that there are not many fathers but he was one of them. As I came down stairs and saw his photo today I said I must write this for those that have not been as fortunate in having a Dad.

My Dad and Mom were both saved the same day and subsequently a short time later received the baptism of the Holy Ghost on the same day. They did everything together and their marriage was one that was peaceful, and loving. The month after he went home they would have been married for sixty one years.

What stands out most about Dad is that he lived by example and lived what he preached. He was a true man of God.

There is something I would like to share with you. Even though you may not have had an earthly Dad or had one that was less than perfect there is one Father in Heaven that will love you through thick and thin.

One day I arrived at my parents door for a visit and on the door being opened both my parents were standing there. I had gone through a very difficult season and when I saw my Dad I started to cry and I just ran and threw myself into his arms and Mom stood beside him. I sobbed my little heart out and my Dad just held me and kept saying its okay
its going to be all right. He was so kind and held me just like Jesus would have done. You see that day, Jesus was standing there in my Dad and truly it was Him comforting me and using my Dad to do so. I dried my eyes and in no time I was fine and Mom and Dad were so very kind.

I am sharing this to let you know that there is nothing quite like the Father's love. He will take you and love you, and comfort you when you need to be comforted. No earthly man can comfort you like the love of the Father. Jesus is standing here today and just waiting for you to come running to Him. Those of you that are hurting and in pain, come running to Him. Those of you that are brokenhearted and so disappointed come running to Him. There is nothing quite like the Fathers love. He will put a bandade on your hurts and wounds and heal you from the inside out. It will be a healing of your heart and a healing of the memories. Jesus is calling you to come to Him today and He will heal you every where you hurt.

God gave me a poem in 2000 and to prepare me for the time that my Dad would go home. I did not know then that 2007 was a year of completion and one that seven years later (also God's number) the Lord would take Him home. He was well up till the morning he died and had a few twinges in his chest. He told mom that he thought he should go to the hospital but said he would not drive and that they would take a taxi instead. He went into the bathroom to get ready and then called to out to Mom, call 911. She did and while on the phone with them he died on his knees the way he lived.

I used to tell my Daddy that I would preach his funeral and he told me that I would be too tearful to do so. smile. God gave me His grace to preach Dad's funeral and do the grave site service. We were able to lift our hands heavenward and in seeing the casket lowered to the ground worship the Lord. I knew a few there did not understand that Dad had not died but just changed addresses and gone home. He used to tell me that when he died he was not dying but only changing addresses. Thank you Jesus for the treasured memories.

Love in Jesus,
Patricia


The Finishing Touch

The Master finisher reaches out
with His nail scarred hand and
applies the finishing touch,
to the now older man who has served
Him so well, and has learned to
lean on Him much.
Each final stroke He makes, very
patiently, He cuts and chisels and
strokes and polishes each little flaw.
Ever so tender is the masters touch,
He misses not one of the flaws.
He stops and looks at it lovingly
his vessel He has formed.
Patiently, carefully He puts it
down,
Until that future morn.
When one last time,
In picking it up,
His reflection He now does see.
It's time now to bring My
vessel home, to My Fathers house
in Eternity.

Casey Anthony Murder Trial

CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS

Casey Anthony Murder Trial



There is much on the news of late about the Casey Anthony murder trial. It is a very sad situation indeed! In a court of law one is considered innocent until proven guilty. I have not followed the case except to know about it briefly on the news. My reason for writing this is that we guard our hearts and minds.

How as believers should we respond to such situations. Should we be spending each day watching court trials on television and putting in the evils of these cases rather than thinking on things that are good, pure and lovely. Recently a believer said to me that they had followed it every day and that it was obvious the mom was guilty. They listed some of the evidence and one could hear something other than the Fathers heart even through the phone lines.

When should someone move from the position of being innocent until proven guilty. The Lord already knows the truth and unless it is revealed in intercession we will not know. There are twelve jury members assigned to deliberate this case. Yet, it seems many have tried this woman in the court of their own heart well ahead of trial being over. All of the evidence should be in and the decision not made as to innocence or guilt until the jury brings forth its verdict. They will decide her innocence or guilt. There are twelve jurors instead of one for good reason. My reason for writing this is not so much about this case but judging in general.

Do we as believers become judge and jury when someone falls from grace? Do we judge others without knowing all of the circumstances? Can we be guilty of judging by the outward appearance rather than judging righteous judgment. Man sees outwardly but God looks on the heart. Do we pray as much for the one that has fallen than time spent talking about them?

Jesus was found guilty when He was the perfect Lamb of God. l am not comparing Jesus to this court case but to how we can be guilty of judging prematurely and not judge righteous judgment. Where is the Father's love? Haman judged the Jewish people, Mordecai and Esther and set himself judge and jury lying with intent to cause the destruction of the Jewish people. In the end He was hung on the gallows for it.

Much is on television that years ago would not have been shown. As believers is watching a murder trial any different than reading a murder novel? Is this something Father wants His children putting into their spirit? Time is short and we are to redeem the time for the days are evil. Would He not rather that time was spent in prayer for those involved in these or other situations and that justice tempered with mercy be done.
Should we not be praying for situations in general, being intercessors on the Lord's behalf and truly standing in the gap. We need Father's heart. Abba Father loves all men and is wanting them to come to the knowledge of the truth. Let us be praying for the salvation of the lost and finding ourselves different than the world.

Let us keep Christ centered in our heart and not be quick to judge but quick to love. Is your heart filled with the love of the Father? Do others feel that they can come to you and share even their sin and that you will gently lead them back to Father being instrumental in their restoration? Do you keep their confidences? You see Father is wanting to restore man. Let us be part of the restoration process, be true intercessors and be willing to love as Christ loved. Christ paid a high price for all mankind, and is not willing that any perish without Him. Will you be used by Him to pray for a lost and dying world and that all men come to the knowledge of the truth. Jesus your kingdom come your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.


1 “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. 3 And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
6 “Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces. Matthew 1-6 (NKJV)

Write What God Is Giving to YOU!

CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS
Write What God Is Giving To YOU!


God has given many of you literary gifts and you have the pen of a ready writer. It is time now for the scribe to write that which Father has placed in your heart by His Spirit. It is time now to take our your pen and write. The Spirit of God has deposited much in many of you and together you make a whole body. Take out your pen and write what the Spirit of God is giving you. For many it will be a fresh word in season. A new step of faith for those who have not written before, but I say to you take out your pen and write.


The ministry of the scribe is in My Word else you would not have the Word of God in written form today. Your words never have the pre-eminence over the written word but they are with grace and seasoned with salt and straight arrows that will go to the heart. Many of mine are so very gifted and yet fearful to post publically. Many of you have been put down but I say to you, rise up and write that which I have given to you. You have the pen of a ready writer so write and I shall give you more, says the Lord.

My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer. Psalm 45:1

Entering The Kingdom by Kiston Couchey

Entering The Kingdom


by Kriston Couchey



SEEING THE KINGDOM

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. While being born of the Spirit gives the ability to see the kingdom; seeing the kingdom and entering it are not the same. We can stand at the border of a city and observe its activities and how people travel to and from that city and still not enter that city. Seeing it does not mean we partake of its lifestyle or becoming a citizen of that city. As it regards the kingdom of God, Jesus spoke clearly about the manner in which the kingdom of God is entered. From what He showed us there are conditions or prerequisites to entering the kingdom.



LOSING YOUR OWN LIFE Then said Jesus to his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever will save his life shall lose it: and whoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. The Gospel of the kingdom is like a seed. A seed may be planted in the ground, but the growth and the bearing of fruit of that seed is dependent upon right soil conditions. Jesus made it clear in the Parable of the Sower that there were conditions of the heart that either hindered or helped the seed grow to become a mature plant that bears fruit. There is one paramount heart condition: Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it stays alone: but if it die, it brings forth much fruit. There came a time after years of Spirit filled "ministry" when I personally lost my life and abandoned all and stood before Him empty without the baggage of ministry, church, doctrines, anointing, gifts, and call. It became a time of just beholding Him. I began to experience a kingdom reality that transcended my understanding and spiritual gifts. In that place of losing my own life, I found it in Him.



LIKE A CHILD Truly I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein "Humble teachableness" is the word that comes to me when I think of a child. Humble teachableness means flexible and changeable to align our beliefs, our being, and our actions according to WHATEVER our Father would desire of us. The kingdom is not complicated, and it only takes the faith of child to receive and enter the kingdom. A child believes what His Father says, and does what he sees his Father do. It is such as these that enter the kingdom. This is rest; to simply believe, accept, love, and trust Father fully in every circumstance, like a child.



DOING HIS WILL Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Those who have entered the kingdom do His will. The kingdom of God is manifest as the will of God is done FIRST within us, and then through us. Entering the kingdom is realized as we become the very dwelling place of God on the earth, and express that oneness in obedience to His will. From this dwelling of union with Him; His will is done, His kingdom comes upon the earth as it is heaven. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. The kingdom of God is what Jesus demonstrated as a Son in perfect oneness with Father God's will. All those who are led by His Spirit do His will, and are sons in the kingdom of their Father.



ENTERING THE KINGDOM

The greatest hindrance to the gospel of the kingdom for Jesus was not from sinners. They welcomed Him as He brought them healing and wholeness. In Jesus' day the established "system" of religion resisted and killed Jesus. ...for you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for you neither go in yourselves, neither suffer you them that are entering to go in. The gospel of the kingdom is still resisted by the same religious mindset that is unwilling to lose its life and holds selfishly to its ministry, it's traditional church structure, it's position of influence, it's monetary gain; and will not enter the kingdom. We each must lose our own life as it regards the religious mindset that opposes the kingdom. We must also not let "well meaning" men and women bound to religious mindsets hinder us from entering the kingdom.



I believe there are some reading this who are truly seeking to find Life in Christ that has eluded them in their experience with church life. You have been born again, you have been filled with the Spirit, but you are unsatisfied and see the emptiness of man's religion. Your ONLY hope is to lose your life and abandon everything you have known or think you know and come before Him like a little child. No complex doctrine. No gift or ministry credentials. Nothing to prove. Just come face to face with Him with NOTHING but a simple faith as a child who loves their Dad. And where He leads you, GO!



In His Love

Word Of The Lord For The United States Of America

Word Of The Lord




For The United States Of America




Today's prophets are speaking out as they did in the days of Amos. We are not in the days of King Uzziah but the days of President Obama, President of the United States of America. We need to hear the Word of the Lord from the genuine mouthpieces that are declaring the truth. Now is the time for the leadership in the United States of America to turn to God with their whole heart. God is speaking and saying, if you who lead the nation of America will call a solemn fast and begin to pray for your nation to repent on a national scale America will be spared.











If on the other hand you continue to rend Israel and come against God's chosen people as you divide Israel so shall your own Nation be divided. You cannot have it both ways. You will either bow down and serve Me and love the apple of My eye or you will be utterly thrown down and in the end destroyed. I am indeed speaking through My servants the prophets and declaring a Word in season.











Those of you that are weary, come to Me in repentance and I will hold you, and I will forgive your sins. They are many and have come up before Me. I am calling you to repentance and calling you to be an example to the Nations of the earth. You have many that are praying and calling on Me for change. Faith filled lips have been praying and interceding but there needs to be prayer on a national scale to spare your nation. Darkness is on the face of the land. Sin is rampant in the church and in the world. The government is seeking to deceive many and these truths will be revealed as My people pray and seek My face. I will speak and those that will hear Me, will hear Me and see change in their lives.











Families need Me, your whole nation will be spared as you call on My name in a large scale. As Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed, so I will destroy nations of the earth that will destroy My people Israel. Take heed, and do not destroy her by trying to divide her but read the Word of the Lord. Read My Word and know that it is truth and honor the boundaries set in it. Then as you serve Me you will prosper, says the Lord. but if you bow to other Gods you will be destroyed. Forsake other Gods, break up your follow ground and I will honor you, says the Lord.

Pray For Joplin, Missouri

CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS



Pray For Joplin, Missouri





Our hearts go out to the people of Joplin, Missouri. Let us keep them in our prayers during the difficult days ahead.



Last night as I heard of the tornado in Joplin, Missouri and prayed for the people, it also came to me about President Obama's meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and his pressure on him to put back the lines to 1967. Two days earlier on the 18th the Lord gave me a word for the USA and a lot of it was about dividing Israel. God is making this clear through many. On May 20, 2011 Billye Brim put out a prayer alert to this effect and I am sure others have put out warnings as well.



There was the voice of a woman saying," Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Heavenly Father" that could be heard above those hiding in a store freezer during this tornado. She knew who to call on in the time of storm, calling on the name of Jesus. This speaks volumes of where our hearts need to be not just during crisis, but daily.



Do you ask the Father to order your steps each day? This is something we all need to do. We need to walk out our salvation with fear and trembling. This woman did not know she would be called on last night to be a witness in the storm and devastation but clearly she was ready.



We need to pray Psalm 91 for protection and get it into our spirits. He is our front end and rear guard. We need to trust in Father and put our lives in His hands. We have assurance of life for the moment we are in and not more. Let us walk a repent walk and be ready at all times to meet our maker.



Let us continue to pray and intercede for the Lord to have mercy.



For whoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13

The Kingdom Of God Is Within You NOW!

CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS



The Kingdom Of God Is Within You NOW!



Neither shall they say, See here! or, see there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. Luke 17:21



And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it. Isaiah 40:5






God's glory is going to be revealed in you and in me. His glory is going to be revealed as daily we are transformed into the image of Christ. He is changing us little by little and each day we are becoming more recognizable as the bride of Christ. Have we arrived, no, but we are being transformed by the renewing of our mind. We are being made new and becoming more like Jesus. His Spirit is moving in our hearts, stirring, transforming and changing all that is not of Him as we allow Him the pre-eminence in our lives.





Let Him change you! Let Him stir your heart! Let Him challenge you to come higher! Enter into His courts with thanksgiving and praise. Enter in. The Kingdom of God is within you. Indeed the Kingdom of God is within each one of His precious jewels and this truth is being revealed to His church. Walls are tumbling down. Hearts are being changed as we are being shaken out of complacency and realizing that there is a model for the new testament church and it is Christ in us the hope of glory. The new testament church and today's church are far apart and transformation is taking place. This shaking will forever change how we view the church. It will come at great price as the religious spirit is attempting to resist what the Lord is doing but it will be brought down.





Sadly love one for another is not readily visible in the body today. We may feel that we have arrived, but we have not come to that place of being willing to die for one another. We have not come to the place where we are willing to come out of our comfort zone and serve one another. We are still sadly far from being like Jesus but the bride will be changed into His image.





There is a remnant that have been refined in the refiners fire. Father has been cutting away all the garbage and removing self from lives. Sometimes the pruning does not seem pleasant but it is so necessary that we abide in the vine and allow Jesus to flow through us (the branches).





The axe is being applied to the root and we are going to be like Jesus and His glory is going to be revealed in us. The Kingdom of God is within you. The Kingdom of God indeed lies within each one of us. Do you see the Kingdom of God? Do you see it by His Spirit? Do you see what the Father is doing? Do you hear the wind of the Spirit blowing where He wants to blow. God will not be stopped. The storms of life are on all sides. The wind is blowing and picking up in its velocity and glory to God, Christ is going to be revealed in all His glory.





You are His bride. You are His precious jewel. Allow Him to flow and let the wind blow on you. You will be changed and transformed into the image of Christ.



Hear the wind blow My people. Hear the wind of My Spirit blow throughout the land. I am taking My church to a new level. I am taking her and moving within her and little by little she is coming to life. Pray in the Spirit. Walk in the Spirit. Press into Me and hear the wind blow. You will catch the wind for it will not stop blowing nor will it be contained. I cannot be contained or put into a box. Hear the wind of My spirit blow in your life today. Do not resist Me. Do not attempt to contain me! I am not in the four walls of the church but I am within your hearts. Allow Me the pre-eminence in your life. You are the temple of My Spirit. The Kingdom of God is within you. Transformation is coming. You will one day be the beautiful bride I have called you to be. I see you as perfect and you are being elevated to that place. Stand aside Me and walk in purity and holiness. Be transformed into My image by the grace of God.





Praise Me and magnify My holy name. Walk in love one toward another, seek the Kingdom of God first and My righteousness and all things will be added to you. Love those that are without, love those that are within and redeem the time for it is short in the earth.Bring glory to My name and be reminded that the Kingdom of God is within you NOW. Move with Kingdom principles NOW. Move by My Spirit NOW. Love NOW. Repent Now. Have joy NOW for the Kingdom of God is within you NOW.
