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!

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.
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

Heavenly Citizenship!
CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS
HEAVENLY CITIZENSHIP!
Tomorrow the census is due in the nation of Canada. The government requires the Canadian people to fill one in so that they have a record of things pertaining to the people. In scripture we read about Joseph and Mary also having to go to another town to fill out their census. In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. Luke 2:2 Everyone went to his own town to register. (Luke 2:3) Joseph and Mary had to travel to Bethlehem because of their lineage and it was a distance away. Today one does not need to leave their town and I only need to walk a few blocks away or fill it out online. Life is simpler or so I realized after reading this today.
Mary was carrying the son of God in her womb on this difficult journey. As I go to deliver my census today I too am carrying someone holy within me. That same anointed one, JESUS that was in Mary's womb is in my heart today. His spirit lives within me. Today hopefully I too will share my new birth with someone in the world and be used to touch their heart by faith.
We are in this world but not of it. Our true citizenship is in heaven and we are seated in heavenly places in Christ. All looks different when we see life from this vantage point and life becomes so much clearer. We are ambassadors representing the Kingdom of God and are His workmanship, here only temporarily until God calls us to our true home where we will rule and reign with Him forever.
Man's census asks if you have garden vegetables for sale and this is on the short version of it. Some people receive the longer one. God's would be looking to see if you are bearing fruit that will remain. Today let us remember our true citizenship. We are blood bought children of God and joint heirs of salvation. Citizens of this world temporarily but of heaven for eternity.
It is time to walk in your God given authority and carry out the Kingdom assignments as the Lord gives them to you. Fulfill your kingdom assignments with joy and let Him carry your burdens today. His yolk is easy and His burden is light.
Rejoice that your name is written in the Lamb's book of life.
For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Phil. 3:20
