Watch and Pray
Last night and this morning I saw 11:11 on the clock. Meanings of 11:11 are 11 = incompleteness; disorganization; disintegration; disorder; lawlessness; disorder; need for apostolic fullness (11 apostles left after Judas hanged himself) as per Joni Ames Ministries
Each time I see 11:11 a heaviness comes over me and my heart is burdened to pray. We can see that this world is one of disorder and disintegration and that the church needs to come into His Divine order.
The Lord is speaking to His church to come aside with Him. We are living on the verge of something of much larger scale than we can handle without more of our God. The days of sitting on the fence are over and the Lord is saying that we need to choose this day whom we will serve. God is calling those that are His to come aside and wait on Him, too fast and pray and get your next instructions. You are living in dark days and some are not even aware of the darkness they are facing. It has entrenched many and many are living in clouds of depression and discouragement. The Lord wants to lift this from you and they only way is to sit at His feet, in the quiet place and allow Him to wash your heart clean in His blood.
Sin will not enter the Kingdom of God but when you repent He is faithful and just to forgive you your sin. Let Him work in your heart and life. Hear the voice of the Spirit entreating you to come ever closer. Shut out the distractions for they are many. Much of it seems good but I desire your undivided attention. Shut off the television is a must for many for you spend more time with it than you do with Me. Shutting off the computer for a time is a must for many. More hours are spent online reading about Me more than time with Me and I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy. Reach out to Me and I will reach out to you, says the Lord. Darkness is here and gross darkness is at the very door. Do you not see? Do you not hear? Do you not perceive what is going on in this world? Do you not yet discern the times and seasons?
Are you yet so very blind when I have given you the light of My Word? My light is shining in the darkness and you are one of the vessels I long to use to remove the darkness. Shine in the darkness beloved of mine. Shine in the darkness My beloved church. Shine in the darkness and be lights all over this lost world. Let your lights shine before men and glorify your Father in Heaven. I am knocking at the door of hearts. I am calling you! I am calling you! I am calling you to come aside till the calamity is past.
Even now evil men plan the demise of those that are called by My name. Evil men plan the demise of the Jewish people. Evil men plan with evil means to bring down many. Those of you that are watchman need to maintain your posts. You that are lax need to awaken to your calling and get on your watch. Many have been so distracted that they have missed what I have been saying, but you beloved are not so deceived. So...beloved arise and do your first works. It is always out of ministry to Me that ministry to others takes place.
I am sharpening the swords of My servants the prophets. I am sharpening the swords of those in apostolic ministry as well as the swords in the hands of those of like precious faith. Swords are being sharpened and this is why you have been going through such times of testing and great trial. Your swords are being sharpened that you might lead others in their darkest hour for it is yet ahead. There are those that need to be helped and you will go and bring them in. Time with Me is time well spent and will bear fruit. Time with Me is needed, to be prepared for the onslaught that will come. It will come in a night and last for an extended period of time. Be prepared in My Word. Prepare the way of the Lord and make the crooked places straight. Prepare, beloved of Mine prepare in the Word and prayer and let intercession be your passion for indeed the hour is late and the day of the Lord is at hand.
Behold I come quickly. Behold I come. Do your first works for behold I come quickly.

I Am Your Blanket Of Protection
I Am Your Blanket Of Protection
4He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Psalm 91:4
Last night before sleeping Psalm ninety one was my bible reading. After praying/reading most of it I closed my bible and then pulled the blanket up over my head as one would do when younger. In removing it the Lord spoke a word to me. "I am your blanket of protection". Great comfort came over me as I knew my heavenly Father had spoken this word into my spirit.
We are living in perilous times and yet God is saying, "trust Me". "I am your blanket of protection". The Israelites covered their homes with the blood of the Passover Lamb and were protected. We can thank the Lord for the blood shed by Jesus on the cross of Calvary for our protection. We can put our faith in the finished work of the cross for Jesus said, "it is finished". He paid the price in full.
Let us stand on His Word in faith trusting that He is our peace and our blanket of protection. Let us pray the Word and standing on it with full assurance that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27

Cloud by Day, Fire by Night
Cloud by Day, Fire by Night
17Then it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, “Lest perhaps the people change their minds when they see war, and return to Egypt.” 18 So God led the people around by way of the wilderness of the Red Sea. Exodus 13:17-18 (NKJV)
We can but stand in awe of the Lord when we see how the Lord led the Israelites. They were armed for battle yet God knew their hearts and that they might still change their minds and go back into bondage. He chose to lead them out instead, through the desert. We have heard that it was only an eleven day journey and that their time in the wilderness would have been shorter except for their disobedience. Yet we see here that the Lord knew they could change their minds and was preventing it happening.
Be glad you have a loving heavenly Father that knows your heart. He knows just how much you can handle and we are told that with the temptation He will make a way of escape that you are able to handle it. Even when you are in the desert, see that the Lord is with you and that He promises He will never forsake or leave you.
A pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night led the Israelites. Perhaps you are going through a desert experience in your life, needing direction and would love to have a cloud by day and fire by night to lead you. smile. Rest assured, you are not alone for He has left His Holy Spirit to lead you.
16And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever 17The Spirit of Truth, Whom the world cannot receive (welcome, take to its heart), because it does not see Him or know and recognize Him. But you know and recognize Him, for He lives with you [constantly] and will be in you. John 14:16-17 (AMP)
As the Lord led the Israelites by pillar of cloud and pillar of fire He will lead you, O you of little faith. The same fire of His spirit is with you today. A wilderness experience is never wasted when we love the Lord and it could even keep you from going back into bondage. There are invaluable lessons learned during this time. Instead allow the Lord to turn this time in your life into a rich time with Him knowing that it is for a little while and that your lessons learned in the wilderness can be stepping stones to future ministry.

Your God Is Able To Deliver You!
CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS
YOUR GOD IS ABLE TO DELIVER YOU!
Daniel knew his God. How well do you know your Lord when put in a crisis situation? Daniel was a man of prayer and it was his praying that paved the way to be thrown into the lions den. He was a positive witness and even the king saw his innocence and wanted to see him delivered by his God. The king said, "Your God whom you serve continually, He will deliver you". (NKJV) Could the same be said about our witness for Jesus? Do people say about you, his God is able to deliver him?
Are you going through a crisis situation? Perhaps it is debt, or someone falsely accusing you. Are you seeing through eyes of faith that your God is able to deliver you?
In the eyes of man, Daniels demise seemed sealed but there was one greater than man who was indeed able and who did deliver Him by sealing the mouth of the lions.
God is able to seal the mouth of the lion in your life. Whatever it may be it, is not too big for your God to deliver you!
Like Daniel continue to pray, believe and know that when you come out on the other side of your situation that it was the goodness and mercy of the Lord that delivered you.
36If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. John 8:36

Did Not Our Hearts Burn Within Us?
Did Not Our Hearts Burn
Within Us?
And 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
There is just something about being in the presence of Jesus that sets the heart on fire. This scripture came to mind this evening after pondering the things of the Kingdom. Jesus said the Kingdom of God is within us. It is not an outward Kingdom but first and foremost it is a Kingdom that is in the hearts of Gods elect. His heart needs to be burning in us. We are told to seek the Kingdom of God first and His righteousness and everything will be added unto us. If we seek Him first the Lord will take care of the rest. How awesome is that!
We need to take God at His word with all the cares of this life that are looming before us daily. We need to let Him take total reign in our hearts. Without this beloved the business of the Kingdom will not be completed. Christ must reign in our hearts and the cross applied to our hearts daily. Paul said, I die daily and we too must die daily to all that we would desire in our own flesh. Without Him we can truly do absolutely nothing worthwhile. It is Christ in us the hope of glory.
A repentant walk must take place and our flesh must die so that we might see His resurrection power pour forth from pure vessels. Are we desiring holiness? Are we wanting to walk in love one toward another?
The Kingdom of God is righteousness, joy and peace in the Holy Ghost. To keep these three working in our hearts and reigning then we must keep that close relationship Jesus kept with the Father. There is just no way around spending time with the Father. Desiring the presence of the Lord above all else is what it is about beloved. Now there is none that has arrived, not one that has attained to this walk but we press on to the mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Let there be that longing in your heart to come closer. The disciples summed it up so well. Did not our hearts burn within us! Is your heart burning and on fire for Jesus or have the earthly things of this world dimmed the light and fire in your life? Do you spend more time in ministry and ministering than ever settling down to one hour with Jesus? The disciples could not take one hour with Him without falling asleep. What is your excuse today? Are we spending time with the Father?
Softly tenderly the Spirit of God is calling. He is saying,come and spend time in the presence of the Lord. Come and meet with Me and I will tell you great and wonderful things. Come and spend time with Me and I will show you your heart. Come and meet with Me and I will show you the battle plans to combat the enemy. Come and spend time with Me and pray for the lost and I will save them. Come into the presence of the Lord and I will do a very necessary work in your life. Take time beloved, take time and just sit with Me awhile. The Spirit of God is entreating you to come to Him. Come to Him now and let Him take complete control of your life. You have struggled. You have almost given up so why not let Him do a complete and lasting work in your heart. Jesus is calling and saying, come closer and I will welcome you with open arms.

God Is Calling!
CALLED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS
God Is Calling!
Rest in Me. Cease and desist from all unnecessary activity. Weigh all by My Spirit. Is it needful and is it of Me? Be still and know that I am God. The work being done in you is a lasting work. Peace be still and know that I am God. Time with Me now pondering My Word, resting in Me, will bring fruit now and for eternity.
2And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. Genesis 2:2-3

A Little Lesson On Trust
A Little Lesson On Trust
Our loving Heavenly Father is working even when we do not see it. Our hearts are ever needing changed and transformation into His image takes place daily. Yes,we may be changed and saved for many years and the sanctification process may have had its work but there are still more changes within us that are necessary. Little by little He is changing me, from earthly things to the heavenly is a song that we sung years ago and it is so very true. Transformation from the inside out is taking place daily. There are those little things in our character that are being refined. The rough edges are being rubbed off and He is preparing us for eternity.
Now I do not know about you but the refining process in this fire seems a little hot right now. Yes, there are moments that my flesh is going ouch. My Spirit is so very willing for all the changes that are coming in the earth but My flesh screams. God touches this little thing. Then another and another. It seems like He is endlessly rearranging things so that we will trust only in Him.
The subject of trust in our Father is one that needs to be addressed. Are we truly trusting in God? Are you trusting Him in every area of your life? Finances are an area that can be difficult especially when the cheque is not in the bank as usual and you like bills paid on time. The bill collector may not be at the door but if you are one that likes all things done decently and in order then you understand what I am speaking about.
Earlier this week we received my husband's pay after a good wait before receiving it. Praise God! The dilemma was that he was here and the pay cheque was several thousand miles away and our son was working and could not deposit it though he had picked it up for him. Tonight I arose at 2am pondering how the cheque would get deposited.
Being a helpful wife I called my husband who just put his feet on the ground after a long flight and told him that I was glad he had landed. Then gently I let him know the cheque was not yet deposited. You see I was trusting God or perhaps not, in hoping praying that it would not get washed in our sons pant pocket when he did the laundry. My husband said he would deposit in the morning and to the Lord I said,"Father forgive me for not trusting in you".
You see, worry is sin. When we sin we need to repent as we are not trusting in our loving Heavenly Father.The Lord is working in each one of us in different ways but of one thing I am sure. We are all learning new lessons daily on how to trust our Father in heaven in an even greater way. Each one of these little lessons on trust is taking us deeper into TRUST so that we do not just mouth the words but truly believe our God loves us enough to provide our needs. Let us stand on His Word today and put total trust in Him. The Lord will supply all your need according to His riches in glory. Trust Him.
Matt 6:30-31 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ (NKJV)
