Time Changes Things

2008-12-04T16:41:00.003-07:00

Beautiful Snowy Day here in Colorado, the fluffiness with the Cold says that
Winter is now upon us.

Do you ever wonder why things happen, like, at first you do, you try to
look at all the possiblities of why did this happen? Or what could I have
done to change it? Will I ever move forward?

Yes, thru it all, we learn to go deep inside, either allowing ourselves
to be compromised internally or to be lifted up.

Your Important! Your Special! You have what God has implanted you with to
be, do and have everything that his promises say! Yes! You do!

Don't ever say "never" and don't ever "give up", because somewhere in this
world, someone else will look to you to encourage, buildup or just be, be
you for someone else to see, that it can be done!

Love Kristy

Happy as they say "Black Friday" I say Glorious Day!

2008-11-28T10:28:00.002-07:00

Today is a day of New Beginning, healthy, happy and Blessed!

Start thanking God for all the things, not for the problems but for the strength and wisdom of getting thru, not for the lack but the being content in any situation.

God will see you thru!

Have a Glorious Day!

Love, Kristy

Thru It All!

2008-11-26T09:37:00.002-07:00

Time changes things, but God heals! Funny thing, everyone always is saying that time will heal, time in always, time is effortless and yet consistent, but only God can heal, as we allow ourself to Love ourself, not being selfish, but when we Love ourself, all the outside changes and we heal.

Alot of times we don't understand, but sit down and breathe your breath, the breath that God has designed just for you, as you look inside and Love inside, your breath will help those around you, don't question, just do!

I am today and now and I am a Successful Mother, Daughter and Friend to many, around the world, today and now!

God Bless,
Love, Kristy

It's Been Awhile..

2008-09-07T10:19:00.004-07:00

Wow, how time flies...lots going on..Business is Building and taking one day at a time...starting to recover from surgery on my foot, can't wait to start walking again. Going to be doing Pilates to my routines as this requires less walking and lots of movement without your feet.. :)

Here is a quote I received in my email:

Curing Victimitis

Watch your thoughts; they lead to attitudes.
Watch your attitudes; they lead to words.
Watch your words; they lead to actions.
Watch your actions; they lead to habits.
Watch your habits; they form your character.
Watch your character; it determines your destiny.

These words of unknown origin tell us that our silent and often subconscious choices shape our future. Every aspect of our lives, at home and at work, can be improved if we use our power to think, reflect, and make conscious choices about our thoughts, attitudes, words, actions, and habits.

Instead, many of us think of ourselves as victims. We complain about our circumstances and what others did to us. Whatever psychological comfort there is in feeling powerless and blameless when things aren't going right, in the end, victims lead unsatisfied lives.

We're most vulnerable to victimitis when we're under the influence of powerful emotions like fear, insecurity, anger, frustration, grief, or depression. These feelings are so powerful, we believe our state of mind is inevitable. Our only hope is they will go away on their own. Yet it's during times of emotional tumult that using our power to choose our thoughts and attitudes is most important. We can't make pain go away, but we can refuse to suffer.

Even when we don't like any of our choices, we do have some -- once we realize we can take control. It isn't easy, but what we do and how we choose to feel about ourselves has a profound impact on the quality of our lives. Victims may get sympathy for a while, but that isn't enough.

Taking personal responsibility for our happiness and success can be scary, but the payoff is enormous. Although we can't make our lives perfect, we can make them better -- usually a lot better.

Alot of times we just can't see thru the muck, when we break thru, life becomes amazing...grow I say! Enjoy life today and everyday, think about what you have to be really greatful for, even if it is the cup of coffee you have, the water you drink or the phone call not expected!

Life is good and we need to recognize every moment is precious!

Inch by Inch it's a cinch!

Forgive Me Lord

2008-04-29T08:59:00.006-07:00

I have had to say that the last 2 weeks of my life have been so, so, changing.

My husband of 16 years, told me he no longer loved me, said he was not attracted to me and he just did not feel it. Love is a choice but Love is more than that
pitter patter, it is not just a high school glimmer or elementary crush.

I am not perfect, wish I was but perfection is a illusion.

I have found that with God's Love, it is casting all my cares on him, for he does care for me.

I am beautful, loving caring and kind. I also know that God forgives, 70 x 7, as far as the east is from the west. I must forgive to bring no bondage to me.

I am trusting that emotional healing will come, today and now, for the children and myself, and also into my husbands heart.

I ask that what God has joined together be completed, by Gods hand and that no man, women or demon put us under. That Satan can't resist or gainsay in Jesus name!

I know that so many wifes and husbands have and or going thru this, the grass is not greener on the other side, oh maybe, at first, but not the long haul.

My husband use to say this to me over and over, yet he chose this over our life together.

I just ask God to move his heart, healing him and any bitterness or resenments he has harbored. He does not realize the God above knows all.

God is moving, I am claiming creative miracles. I rebuke divorce, decree restoration and healing. Speaking life into this and death to whatever has attempted to rob this.

"SEEING the Unseen and HEARING the Unheard AND the LIGHT INVASION of 2008!"

January 2, 2008: Seeing the Unseen and Hearing the Unheard

"Be on the alert for My sudden visitation of revelation. My messengers have been sent out from Heaven with a message for you, a calling from deep unto deep. I will appear in unexpected ways. Be neither surprised nor alarmed. In this visitation, I will reveal that which you have not seen and will cause sounds you have not heard. Do not expect the grandiose. There shall be no empire building for yourself. All this is ultimately for My purposes. If you obey My voice and My word, My reward for your pinpoint obedience will be great. Seeing the Unseen and Hearing the Unheard."

Exodus 3:2, "Suddenly, the angel of the LORD appeared to him as a blazing fire in a bush. Moses was amazed because the bush was engulfed in flames, but it didn't burn up." 1 Corinthians 2:9-10, "That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, 'No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him.' But we know these things because God has revealed them to us by His Spirit, and His Spirit searches out everything and shows us even God's deep secrets."

We live in a three dimensional world that is measured by length, width and height. But there is a fourth dimension, a deeper dimension. Quantum Physics proves there is greater power at the deeper level (atomic) than a chemical level (dynamite).

"This year I want to meet with you at a deeper level--another dimension. My power is being released more widely across the earth because many are meeting me at this deeper level, where you learn more of My truth, ways and power. Dig deep into the Scriptures, dig deep into My nature, dig deep into My presence. The deeper we go, the more revelation and power I release."

Ephesians 3:16-19, "That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God."

In 2008, the subject of LIGHT will be brought forth by the Spirit of God into many venues--both in the Church and in the world. Those who study in realms of science will herald new discoveries concerning the operations, functions and dynamics of light. Prophetic seers will be given understanding concerning a "Light Invasion" into the nations. Authors will write about the subject of light and preachers will preach on it with signs following. Testimonies of supernatural appearances of light will be heard.

Prophetic Word of the Lord

The Lord says, "True Light will penetrate and invade darkness and wickedness. My people will rise up strong in this hour for their light has come. They will be beacons set on a hill that cannot be hidden."

"Many will say, 'Oh, look how dark things have become. Look at the evil everywhere.' But I will have a people who are not impressed with the darkness. They are not moved by the darkness. They are acquainted with My Light, and they will take My Light into darkness so even the darkness will be light for them."

"I am raising up a people who will bask in the light of My glory and soak in the rays of My power. When they see chaos and confusion, they will say, 'Let there be Light,' and there will be Light. When they see people bound by sickness and disease, they will say, 'Let there be Light,' and the sickness and disease will flee and dissolve in the power of My presence. Where there is Light there can be no darkness."

"These ones believe in the power, presence and qualities of My true Light, My presence. They will be fearless in the midst of darkness, for they understand light expels darkness. They will proclaim the power of My Light in their homes and the darkness will flee. They will proclaim the power of My Light in their workplaces and they will see shifts and alignments. Yes, the ones who believe will proclaim My Light in every place they discern darkness--for they are carriers and releasers of My Light and My glory."

"Darkness will cover the earth, but it is time for My Light to arise upon My people. Kings and nations will be drawn to the Light they carry. My glory shall appear upon them."

"Do not be shocked to find I am choosing a "variety of vessels" to manifest My Light. Some will say, 'Look at this one. He is an eccentric vessel. He operates differently from the status quo. How could this one be a true servant of God?' Do not be surprised to find that the way these vessels release and proclaim My Light are not conventional, for I am choosing a diverse way to release My Light into the earth, but you will know My chosen vessels by the Spirit. I am doing a new thing. He who has an ear to hear, let him hear."

"I will use a variety of vessels: conservative vessels, highly educated vessels, simple vessels, favored vessels, misunderstood vessels, child vessels, female vessels, male vessels, old vessels, young vessels, and even vessels that do not know I am the very Light they are proclaiming."

"Yes," says the Spirit of the Lord, "this is an hour for My Light to invade darkness--and it shall."

Decree: Let There Be Light!

In Genesis 1:1-3, we read about the earth being formless and void. It was in a state of confusion, chaos and darkness, and there was no light. God said, "Let there be light" and there was! Later in the chapter, we see the Lord creating the sun and moon to serve as light in the earth.

In John 1:9, the Scriptures reveal that Jesus is the true Light. I believe He is the Light the Father spoke into the earth in Genesis 1. He filled the earth with His Son, the true Light. Hebrews 1:3 teaches us that Jesus upholds all things by the word of His power, and Colossians 1:17 says that in Him, all things are held together.

Jesus Himself declared in John 8:12, that He was the Light of the world and whoever followed Him would not walk in darkness and would have the Light of life. In Matthew 5:14, He states that we are the light of the world and are not to be hidden.

The true Light is Jesus. Let us learn to call forth His Light into every area of our lives: family, relationships, character, finances, health and strength. Let's also take His Light into the darkness of despair, hopelessness and sin. Let's invade the world around us with His glorious Light.

Go now and shine! Decree: Let there be Light!!

"DIVINE INSPIRATION 2008--Prepare to Make Some of the Most Important DECISIONS of Your Life"

Revelation That Overcomes

God says, "You will arise to a new level of overcoming. You have already begun to see patterns in your life that have consistently opened the door to the enemy's work against you. These patterns will become increasingly apparent as you progress and punish disobedience with your obedience. Rejoice in this process.

Your struggle is not over, but if you look back, you can see that victory has come more speedily than in times past. This is because you have learned to release your anger and bitterness and have refused the victim position. You will continue to rise up to defeat the enemy more effectively as you choose to exercise your faith in Me to bring you through.

Do not be afraid of unknown challenges that lie ahead. You cannot fight the battle until you see the enemy and discover his method of attack. Rest in the assurance that My grace is sufficient, and that I will bring you through to victory as you yield to the leading of My Spirit," says the Lord.

Luke 12:11-12, "Now when they bring you to the synagogues and magistrates and authorities, do not worry about how or what you should answer, or what you should say. For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say."

"This indeed is a season when you discover in greater dimension--the power to overcome every obstacle. Old mindsets that bring defeat to you will become crystal clear. It will be like suddenly awakening from a dream to see the absolute reality of your existence and spiritual dominance."

High Place of Discernment

God says, "I am lifting you up to a high place, spiritually, where you can see the valley below with great clarity. You will no longer see the world and people around you with natural eyes, but you will see through eyes of discernment that penetrate through the veil that separates flesh and spirit.

Be prepared to have the eyes of your understanding enlightened. I will cause you to grasp the wisdom of things you have not been able to comprehend. This will enable you to overcome obstacles and walk in confidence and victory.

You have already had significant breakthroughs in understanding how the spirit realm affects your body and soul, but I tell you honestly that your level of comprehension is not even half of what you will come to know and grasp. Every new revelation will become your possession and strengthen you.

If you ask anything in My name, according to My will, I will do it. I will teach you and show you by My Spirit the difference between what 'you want' according to your carnal nature and what 'My will is.' It will be a divine separation of soul and spirit. Yield yourself completely to this process."

Hebrews 4:12, "For the Word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."

I Am Your Pilot

God says, "Things have not worked out exactly as you expected. This is because you cannot see the end from the beginning. I have designed it to be this way so that you can be built up in faith and know that I am with you to direct you along your path to destiny. Take delight in the fact that I am your Pilot, and I will maneuver you through even the most dire straits.

Don't miss or overlook opportunities that look small and insignificant by looking too far out and focusing on the big picture. I have great things in store for you, but you must not despise the days of small beginnings."

Job 8:7, "Though your beginning was small, yet your latter end would increase abundantly."

"I say, establish clear boundaries and reorder your priorities, so that My blessings can flow like a river--uninterrupted. The temptation will be to create your own blessings and to depend on your own strength to accomplish your desires, but I hold all power over Heaven and earth. Depend on Me to cause you to be fruitful. Your accomplishments are of a temporary nature, but what I produce in you is everlasting.

Your most difficult days are behind you. You have endured much and been strengthened by your perseverance. Truly you are stronger now than you have ever been. Your faith has been tested through many trials and tribulations, and you have come through in victory. I count your faithfulness as righteous."

You've Come A Long Way, Baby!

"You've come a long way, baby, but you have not yet gone as far as you can go. The possibilities for your life have not been exhausted. On the contrary, you will be surprised and delighted at what I have in store for you. But, you will have to hold your own dreams and desires loosely to allow My will to manifest so that you can receive the best that I have for you," says the Lord. "Trust Me!"

"Prepare to be stretched. But, know that you will not be challenged beyond your ability to accomplish what is set before you. Trust Me for strength to overcome and endure. It is true that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.

Those things in your life that seem to have been fragmented or left undone will now be brought to a conclusion as the door to the past is shut and a new and exciting door is opening before you. Rejoice in this time of new life and hope."

Breaking The Chains

"I am taking you step-by-step through the things that have consistently made you stumble and lose heart. It will be like breaking the chains one link at a time, so that you can see clearly the nature of the bondage, and you will never again be ensnared as in days gone by. Rejoice in a new level of liberty," says the Lord.

"There have been times in your life when you have swung between two poles, one of ultra hope and blessing and the other abject poverty and hopelessness. If you will yield to the work of My Spirit along these lines, I will bring you from extreme ups and downs to a plateau of spiritual reality and faith. For, certainly I am the Author and Finisher of your faith, and I will establish you on this level ground.

Refuse to allow the enemy to use condemnation to remove you from the flow of revelation by the Spirit. His tactics won't be anything new. Expect the same old lies that bring guilt, shame and rejection. But, now I will give you greater capacity to see quickly and deal with the attacks, so that your times of oppression will be immediately cut off like awakening from a bad dream.

I am releasing healing in you that will wash away the rejection and failures from the past and equip you to go forth with wisdom and endurance. Let go of the labels that have been assigned to you by various people and circumstances, for I call you My beloved."

Open Doors

"Prepare to make some of the most important decisions of your life as I present opportunities that you could never have imagined. You are Mine, and My plan is to establish you and bless you in ways that will remove even the vaguest remembrance of past disappointments and struggles.

I will open doors before you, and you will behold new vistas and prospects for the future that you really never dreamed of. And, I will bring you by a way that you have not known and make your feet like hinds feet that will enable you to negotiate even the most difficult of paths. You will scramble up the craggiest places as though it were level ground because I am with you to make the crooked places straight and the rough places smooth.

You will have choices to make in the days ahead that have the potential to change the landscape of your life forever. Seek Me for wisdom, and choose wisely. If you ask for wisdom, I will certainly give it to you.

In this season, you must recapture the gifting and flow that you once embraced. In the passage of time and circumstances, you lost confidence, but now is the time when you can reclaim what was rightfully yours from the beginning. You cannot go back to the old manifestation of your gift because it had to become like a seed that fell to the ground and died in order to take root and grow up in you to produce fruit for this time. Be open and yielded," says the Lord.

"For 2008, Prophetically, I Hear SICKLES--God is Preparing to REAP NATIONS"

The following prophetic article is featured in the January 2008 ElijahRain Magazine which you can purchase by clicking here: http://www.elijahlist.com/downloadstore/elijahrain/index.htm

"I looked, and there before me was a white cloud, and seated on the cloud was One 'like a Son of Man' with a crown of gold on His head and a sharp sickle in His hand. Then another angel came out of the temple and called in a loud voice to Him Who was sitting on the cloud, 'Take your sickle and reap, because the time to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.'

So He Who was seated on the cloud swung His sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested. Another angel came out of the temple in Heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle. Still another angel, who had charge of the fire, came from the altar and called in a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, 'Take your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of grapes from the earth's vine, because its grapes are ripe.' The angel swung his sickle on the earth, gathered its grapes and threw them into the great winepress of God's wrath. They were trampled in the winepress outside the city…" Revelation 14:14-20

"'Let the nations be roused; let them advance into the Valley of Jehoshaphat, for there I will sit to judge all the nations on every side. Swing the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, trample the grapes, for the winepress is full and the vats overflow--so great is their wickedness!' Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision." Joel 3:12-14

Sickles are Swinging Over the Nations

For 2008, prophetically, I hear "sickles." They are swinging over nations, and they are set to reap. But what will the harvest be--national revival or national judgment? The Bible (see Revelation 14:14; Joel 3:13) speaks of two types of sickles. One is a sickle of salvation to reap the ripe harvest of the earth. The other is a sickle for grapes--a sickle bringing judgment and the wrath of God. What if the sickle that swings widest over a nation could be determined by the Church of that nation?

Faith Gives Way to Sight

It is no secret that all over the world things are heating up. On the one hand, there is great anticipation as some of the prophetic words of the past few years unfold before our very eyes. "Convergence," "Acceleration," "Generations," "Alignment," "Crossing Over," "Great Signs and Wonders," "The Beginning of a New 40 Year Cycle"--the prophetic buzzwords of the past few years are no longer future, but present. All of the above are happening throughout North America and the rest of the world. Our faith is giving way to sight. The push in the spirit is upon us and we all feel its weight. God has positioned many of us to ask for and receive things way beyond our natural capability (see Ephesians 3:20).

Why? Because to this very day, God continues to "so love the world" (see John 3:16) and, unfortunately, much of the world is still grossly lost. All over the world nations are in moral crisis. From school shootings to child porn, sin is escalating. In North America, economic crisis is looming and will probably crack wide open at some point in 2008. Communism is threatening Mexico and other Latin American nations. Russia is beginning to taunt the West again. Terrorists are indiscriminately blowing up whatever they can get away with. Child poverty is raging all over the globe and pushing the cycle of sin to unthinkable levels.

But when sin abounds, grace does much more abound. God is raising up a standard to turn the tide of evil back to righteousness. The prayer movement is exploding with 24/7 houses of prayer springing up everywhere. Miracles of all sorts are taking place. Marketplace apostles, prophetic evangelism, and spiritual fathering and mothering are established norms in many places. Like a giant chessboard, the world is taking shape for the war for the souls of men.

Preachers of righteousness, their hearts on fire from having spent hours in the presence of God, are emerging from the prayer room like John Wesley and Savanarolla of old. Their words, empowered by the Holy Spirit, will shift cities and nations. As the god of mammon is shaken in North America in 2008, stadiums will fill with massive gatherings of fasting and prayer, the generation prepared with signs and wonders will, like the apostles in the book of Acts, be released to preach to receptive ears.

Pushing Through with Prayer

"And when they had prayed, the place where they had gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak the word of God with boldness." Acts 4:31

Prayer is the tipping point. Prayer will release both the judgments of God (see Revelation 8:3-13), and create the climate for people to call upon the Lord (see Judges 2:11-22; 3:9, 15; 4:3; 6:6, etc). The scene is being set. If there ever was a time that a nation could "be saved in a day," now is the time. The wealth transfer has begun, the miracles are happening, the leadership has crossed over and stadiums are already being filled with tens of thousands of believers who are gathering in solemn assemblies of fasting and prayer. I know 20 and 30-year olds who are changing the political climate of nations, who are seeing the lame walk and the blind see, and who are consumed with passion to see a resting place for the Lord established.

The speed at which the Church is accelerating is almost frightening, but we have no choice but to follow the Lamb wherever He goes. We are within decades of the Gospel of the Kingdom being preached to the whole world. And we all know what Jesus said would happen after that (see Matthew 24:14).

Yet we must face the fact that acceleration is happening in both kingdoms, the Divine and the demonic. In this hour when the world is hanging in the balance, the Church on earth has the power to influence the destiny of nations. We are the salt of the earth, the agent that retards sin and establishes truth and righteousness. When we are faced with the merciless onslaught of evil, we don't look around, we look up. 2008 is a year of incredible opportunity for the Church, as long as she responds "with faith" to the opportunities that will come suddenly upon the earth.

As I said, in my spirit, I hear sickles. God is preparing to reap nations. Will they be saved--or judged?

"So He Who was seated on the cloud swung His sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested...The angel swung his sickle on the earth, gathered its grapes and threw them into the great winepress of God's wrath." Revelation 14:16, 19

"Swing the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, trample the grapes, for the winepress is full and the vats overflow--so great is their wickedness! Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision!" Joel 3:13-14

Prayer--massive gatherings of fasting and prayer (concerted, fervent prayer) will determine which sickle swings widest over America and the other nations of the world. When the prayer bowls fill in Heaven, the result on earth is the acceleration of harvest and judgment (see Revelation 8:3). In 2008, the Church must join with the intercession of Jesus (see Hebrews 7:25) for the release of national revival. Just as with individuals, there are certain national demons that will only come out by fasting and prayer.

The formula for national change has been the same for thousands of years: "If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray, I will...heal their LAND" (2 Chronicles 7:14, emphasis added).

If we take the principle of first binding the strongman through national assemblies of fasting and prayer, and then loosing the harvesters (marketplace apostles, fiery end-time preachers, mercy evangelists, and miracle workers), we can take nations. As the kingdoms of this world are shaken and fear fills the world, a faithful and faith-filled Church will respond to the crises and reap perhaps the greatest harvest the world has ever seen at one time.

Prayer and fasting, combined with radical missions must be released at a new level. 2008 will be the bomb--"for those who have ears to hear."

GOD SAYS: "I'm About to EVICT Some of My People into HOUSES of HEALING, JOY, REST and PROVISION"

Some in the Sick House Are About to Be Evicted into the Healing House God says, "It is My will to heal everyone, 'And He healed all who were sick…' (Matthew 8:16). Does not My word also say, 'All things are possible to him that believes…?' (Mark 9:23). Start to see yourself leaving the sick house and entering My house where health and healing lives. Some of you are so tired of being sick and weak, but if you look inside of your heart, you will find something of great value…faith to be healed (Acts 14: 8-10). Some do not believe that I desire to heal all. That is up to them. They will not be healed because doubt is allowed to be stronger than faith. But that is not you."

"Soon, the moving van will be pulling up to your house. The workers will be walking up to your door. Start packing your boxes and begin planning to do those things you used to do. Don't wallow and whine. Instead, perk up and praise Me 'by faith' because your relocation papers are here. What's the cost for this move? Nothing. It is My good pleasure because you are a citizen of My household (Ephesians 2:19), and I make My citizens whole. I'm kicking you out of your old place…prepare for a new neighborhood. You're moving up."

Some in the Worry House Are About to Be Evicted into the Joy House

God says, "Some of you have been overwhelmed with worry because of looking in the natural instead of looking in the Spirit (2 Corinthians 4:18). I long for you to join Me in a life of rejoicing. Start thanking Me for My blessings. Start by thanking Me for the breath you are now taking. It is a great gift. Thank Me for each day you are alive for every one of them is numbered (Psalm 90:12). Some of you have heard My servants speak of walking in great joy…now is the time for you to get up and be transported to another dwelling where strife, discouragement and fear do not exist" (2 Timothy 1:7).

"You have been filled with My Spirit, and you now have the ability to see by faith not by sight. This world's ways are full of sadness and disappointment, but My Kingdom is full of righteousness, joy and peace (Romans 14:17). When you are led by My Spirit, you are in My Kingdom. Do not walk out of your worries, run out. I want you to throw yourself out of the house of worry. When you do, I will catch you and meet you with great laughter. You've cried enough tears, now it's time to reap in joy (Psalm 126:5). We will laugh and sing and even dance together about what used to worry you (Zephaniah 3:17). Let's celebrate your new house. May I have this dance?"

Some in the Weary House Are About to Be Evicted into the House of Rest

God says, "Some of you have grown weary of life (Job 10:1) because you thought one thing would have happened when in actuality, another did. Some of you are disappointed over past developments that you had no control over (Romans 8:28). Others made mistakes that you now regret and feel trapped by circumstances. Remember that I forgive mistakes (Colossians 2:13-14) and can turn around even the worst ones if you humble yourself and place your troubles in My hands" (Isaiah 65:16).

"Some have sown much, but harvested little. My ways are not your ways and My timing is not your timing. Be prepared to exchange your weariness for rest (Isaiah 28:12) and see breakthroughs. Learn to rest in My promises before they come to pass, 'I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint' (Jeremiah 31:25). This is great wisdom. Let's get up and leave this place…it stinks here."

Some in the Poor House Are About to Be Evicted into the House of Provision

God says, "You've prayed, trusted, believed and confessed, yet have seen little harvest. Too many of you have reluctantly agreed to live in a house of 'hardly enough.' But I desire for you to live in a 'house of abundance' (Psalm 35:27). Yes, life does not consist in the abundance of things (Luke 12:15), but when you delight in My ways, I will bless you beyond your wildest dreams" (Philippians 4:19).

"Just because you have not seen the fulfillment of My promises doesn't mean they are not true. Keep trusting, because your miracle is in transit. You've heard of e-mail, air-mail and special delivery, but have you heard of 'window mail?' My Window Mail is found in Malachi 3:10, 'Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this,' says the Lord of Hosts, 'if I will not open for you the windows of Heaven, and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows.' Have you tested Me lately? I long to not just bless you or provide for you, but to overflow you."

"My word says, '…thou, O God, hast prepared of Thy goodness for the poor' (Psalm 68:10). I am not interested in blessing those who simply want to live the high life (James 4:3), but I will bless each one who desires to live a life motivated by a heart for My Kingdom and it's objectives. Are you ready to be transported? Can you hear the caravan coming? Get ready to move."

Say to yourself, "I'M MOVING…IN THE STRENGTH OF THE LORD!" (Psalm 71:16)

May 2008 Bring Greatness!

Inward Strengths vs Outward Happenings!

2007-12-27T08:53:00.001-07:00

This is so true, we need to strengthen our inward stature for our outward struggles will then disappate and be disolved!

For when we stand on our firm foundation inwardly God will return to us on the outside of our dilemma, just rest in him and his promises and the rest in him will bring wisdom.

FRANCIS FRANGIPANE:

"Standing After The Storm--Our Foundations Must be Built on Christ"

"If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?" Psalm 11:3

Just as there are foundations that are dug and laid for buildings, so there are spiritual foundations upon which we can build a stable spiritual life. If our foundations are destroyed, or if we try to build our lives upon an incomplete foundation, to that degree we compromise our ability to stand during life's storms.

I've known many people who could prophesy or pray for the sick or sing beautifully in church, but inwardly their spiritual lives were unstable. As soon as difficulties arose, they fell apart. Why? As "together" as they seemed, they had something missing from their inner foundation. They crumbled during the storm.

Jesus put it this way:

"Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them, I will show you whom he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred, the torrent burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built." Luke 6:47-48

The question isn't "if" a storm is coming, but when. Storms are a part of life. Everyone will experience them. Life has a way of going from calm and peaceful to suddenly turning turbulent or adversarial. The only way one's house can stand during these times is if it is well built.

Jesus is saying that our "house" represents our spiritual life, and in building this life, the foundation is the most important part of the structure. Everything else we build, whether in ministry or gifting or calling, is built upon the inner, hidden foundation laid by Christ.

The problem is compounded because you can't build your house in a storm. Your house must be built before the storm comes. Thus, Jesus concluded His warning,

"But the one who has heard and has not acted accordingly, is like a man who built a house on the ground without any foundation; and the torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great." Luke 6:49

I shudder when I recall the many people--good people, mind you--whose house "collapsed" in the storm of temptation or adversity. How true the Savior's words are: "and the ruin of (their) house was great."

Storms Are Coming

As a spiritual father, I am concerned about the Church. People are proud that their lives are unstructured, as though "undisciplined" was synonymous with "humility." May I speak candidly? I think that God defines "undisciplined", not as a form of humility, but a form of disobedience.

I'm not becoming legalistic; I'm calling us to obedience. Jesus said in His Great Commission to the Church that we were to make disciples "who obey everything" Jesus "commanded" the first disciples (Matthew 28:20). Yes, there is a time when people need to be loved and healed. However, there is another time when we need to respond to God's love. In fact, it is His love that wants to rebuild our lives on a foundation that can withstand the battles and be victorious!

What, specifically am I meaning when I speak of spiritual foundations? Old attitudes must be excavated from our souls and Christlike attitudes structured. Trusting in ourselves must go; trusting completely in Christ must be established. Pride must be uprooted; true humility established. Worry, fear and sin must go and prayer must be established. You see, God calls us to walk as redeemers, patterning our lives after the example of Christ.

Upon these traits we can unite with other Christians in our cities until, functionally, we become "a dwelling of God in the Spirit" (Ephesians 2:22).

I am talking about more than having right doctrines. I'm speaking of right attitudes, Biblically correct vision and theologically accurate faith, so we actually reveal the life of Christ to the unsaved world around us.

The vision of Christlikeness should be the focus of both leadership and congregations. This has been the Father's purpose from the beginning of time and it remains His unchanging goal at the end of the age (see Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 8:28-29).

If we build upon the foundations of Christ, we will certainly be found standing after the storm.

He is worthy of worship and is to be adored.
One day, every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of the Father.
His supremacy is unquestionable and His authority is absolute.

His name is Yeshua for He is Savior, and His name is Abba for He is our Father.
He is a warrior and yet, He is the Prince of Peace.
In Him all things hold together.
He commands legions of angels and is concerned for the destitute and the downtrodden.
He is near to the brokenhearted and sets the lonely in families.
He is compassionate and a Shepherd to the harassed and helpless.

He forgives us and completes us.
He is our purpose and our holy passion.
He is our inspiration and our All Sufficient One.
He is our Bridegroom King and we are His Bride.
He adopts us and He accepts us as His own.
He affirms us and transforms us by His Word and His Spirit.

"THIS CHRISTMAS"
--poem by Joni Ames

On that first Christmas Day, He came,
A babe inside the hay,
A star above, the only sign
To show the world the way

On that first Christmas, just a few
Knew Jesus Christ was born
And only some beheld His face
That first bright Christmas morn'

On that first Christmas night He lay
At the mercy of the world
Rejected from the very start
As His life was unfurled

His parents had to flee with Him
And find a place to hide
Where He would not be found and killed
Though many people tried

But now He's not a little babe
Wrapped, hidden, in the hay
He's risen up as King of kings
To show the world the way

He isn't in a stable, dark,
Where no one else can see
He's risen to the Throne of God
Where He was meant to be

He doesn't seek the world's grace
They kneel at His Name
And everywhere, because He lives,
The world is not the same

This Christmas He is not a child
Who seeks our mercies, fair,
But He is Lord of all the Earth
His grace, with us, to share

He doesn't run from anyone
Nor play their silly games
For even satan has to bow
At the mention of His Name

This Christmas, take Him from the hay
And place Him on YOUR throne
For He's King of kings, and Lord of lords
So crown Him as YOUR OWN

Soon He'll break the Eastern Sky
Returning for His Bride
And all who still turn Him away
Will have no place to hide

Care enough to give the best
To family and friends
Give to them the Good News now
Of life that never ends

Show them there's a better way
Not mapped by any man
Let them know they have a choice
To live Salvation's Plan

Jesus Christ WAS once that child--
But let the good news ring!
THIS Christmas, let the whole world know--
HE REIGNS AS LORD AND KING!

"Give the World a MERRY 'CHRIST'MAS!"

2007-12-23T08:21:00.000-07:00

December 23, 2007

Chuck Pierce and John Mark Pool:

"BELIEVE and EXPECT a MIRACLE! Give the World a MERRY 'CHRIST'MAS!"

Chuck Pierce: WHAT WE BELIEVE! EXPECT A MIRACLE!

During this time of year, we must allow our expectations to arise. The expectation of the Lord is a function of our emotions. I am praying for your emotional well-being. A miracle is when a Higher or Greater force exhibits a supernatural power on the laws of nature to bring about an unexplainable change in the earth!

We believe Father-God came as Spirit and hovered over a virgin and impregnated her. We believe the Son was then born to this virgin and grew in stature and favor with man. We believe that He came unto His own, but His own did not receive Him.

We believe that He overcame the power of sin in this world and then sacrificed Himself so that we could be redeemed from the power of sin. We believe that He overcame death, hell and the grave and now sits at the right hand of the Father. We believe His Spirit dwells among us to give us the same power to overcome all temptation, sin and decay of the world.

We believe that the miracle-working power that was displayed by Jesus Christ, the Messiah, is working in the world today and is available to each of us and enables us to walk in overcoming victory.

EXPECT A MIRACLE!

John Mark Pool: Christ--the Giver of gifts

"Joseph, her fiancé, was a good man and did not want to disgrace her publicly, so he decided to break the engagement quietly. As he considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. 'Joseph, son of David,' the angel said, 'do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. For the child within her was conceived by the Holy Spirit. And she will have a son, and you are to name Him Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.'" (Matthew 1:19-21 NLT version)

The account of the Birth of Christ is the best prophetic evangelism tool at this synchronized moment of the year before us now! Use it--don't lose it! Tell them about the Lord of dreams, angels and visitations! Stop inviting people to just attend church and start inviting them to a relationship with Christ--through the vast gifts that point so many to the miracles of Christ! Give people the best gift for Christmas they could ever receive--Jesus Christ as their Lord!

The Bible is the written record of Christ's account of His birth, life, death and sufferings. All the prophecies pointed out that Christ had been born from the virgin Mary and given to us a Savior as the gift to mankind. Jesus then mentored and poured upon His disciples the miraculous gifts and divine influences of which many witnessed the effects. These effects included signs, wonders, miracles, dreams, visions, visitations, the audible voice of God affirming Christ as the Messiah. He was also the completion of major prophetic fulfillment such as the forth-telling from Prophet Isaiah in Isaiah 61, as fulfilled by witnesses through Christ in Luke 4:18-21. Through the Savior, the ways of life are made known, and we as believers are encouraged to expect God's presence, His gifts and His favor forevermore.

Never forget that the purpose of all gifts is to lift up Jesus Christ, the giver of the gifts. Peter did that in his sermon at Pentecost as spoken in Acts 2:21, "And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved."

The World is Craving for the Spiritual

Have you ever asked yourself why books about Harry Potter have exploded on the market? People want to know the realm of the supernatural. Christians must become the leaders in the supernatural realm.

One day while relating to an entire group of nurses in a hospital break room, the Lord had me share about my experience of dying, going to Heaven, and meeting my brother in person there, whom I had never seen before! There was not a dry eye in the crowd! They all wanted to know more about the "spirituality" of all this. Many had never gone to any church in their entire lives. Many just closed their eyes as we prayed a simple prayer to have that same Jesus come into their hearts and become their Savior. This should be a common occurrence.

Do not feel like a "spiritual dud" if you have not seen angels, visions or spiritual dreams. Once you posture your heart towards faith from believing God's Word about the supernatural, then you will have the access to ask God to increase these encounters in your life.

WARNING: If you ask for this believing, be ready, because you will see them all and much more! It is so exciting! This should be the most exciting time of the year for Christians to share about the real "gifts" from our Father that last more than a lifetime--they are forever!

Prophetic Messengers are on Assignment!

Here is a simple lesson that may help you:

Angels delivered messages to Mary and she obeyed as though the messages were from God. Today we are hearing more and more about God's present Heavenly messengers here on earthly assignments. The Greek word "aggelos" means a messenger, angel, one who is sent, a messenger from God. Aggelos is a messenger and has the same implication as a pastor, or one who delivers a message to people. Onar is the Greek word for a dream. Horama is the word for vision, meaning to see, to look at, to perceive, attend to or as to appear.

Acts 2:17, "Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams."

Prophesy has many early Greek and Hebrew word uses. In Acts 2:17, where Peter quoted the prophet Joel at the Day of Pentecost, it is basically speaking about "propheteuo," which is the word for foretelling and forth telling events prior to their occurrence. Propheteuo is derived from prophetes or an inspired foreteller as one who by divine inspiration foretells events. However, this is also the word that means a divine, speaker under inspiration as exercising the prophetic office. This is the word to prophesy.

Joel 2:28-29, "And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days."

The goal is that not all become an office of prophet, but that all may prophesy. This is NOT "spooky spiritual" stuff for these hours. We need much more of this according to the prophecy from Joel 2:28-29.

2008--A Year for increased Dreams, Angels and Visitations!

2008 is a year of a new birth and new gates! We are now about to see the gates of visitations from God's Heavenly messengers increase tremendously! We are about to partake of dreams and visions as never known! Get ready for an outpouring of signs, wonders and miracles as we have hoped for since they were prophesied! This is a year of increase in new visions! Get involved in this harvest time through all the outpourings of dreams, visions, visitations and angels on increased assignments. We are the carriers of this message to a very desperate world awaiting the greatest Gift on earth--Jesus Christ, the only Savior of the world!

When we embrace the fact that God speaks to us through many ways, we must acknowledge that He indeed uses all communication processes foretold in the entire Bible. We now will see this to point others to the Cross of Calvary and will indeed see an increase of Heavenly dreams, angels and visitations!

This is the season to celebrate dreams, angels and visitations from God! Jesus Christ's birth is the best example we can use! By all means--capture the moment!

Give the world a "Merry Christmas!"

Your Gift Within!

2007-12-22T08:23:00.000-07:00

Forgiveness and reconciliation with others is our key to recieving our gifts!

When I read this, I reflected on certain issues which were similiar and I knew
that God was moving me into a higher calling.

Is he Awesome!

We also need to remember the reason for the Season! Jesus came that we have life
and life abundantly, he was born and then crucified, he is our BIGGEST Gift!

God Bless and Have a Most Wonderful Reason for the Season!

"Getting Our DREAMS and SPIRITUAL GIFTS UNWRAPPED and Out of the Box this Christmas!"

Our Dreams, Gifts and Highest Callings Could be Unwrapped by Our Enemies!

Genesis 50:20 in the Message Bible says, "Don't you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you...life for many people!"

God used Joseph's hateful brothers, Potipher's wife's false accusations and an unfair prison sentence to unwrap his dream. Then there was King Saul's spirit of jealousy and rage which was used to unwrap David's crown for kingship. Also Judas' betrayal was used to unwrap Jesus' destiny to be King of kings and Lord of lords! Who is God using in your life to unwrap your destiny?

I sense many of God's people are frustrated, not able to unwrap their spiritual gifts and callings. I am discovering that it takes all kinds of people around us to unwrap the gift that God has placed inside of us. Can a gift unwrap itself? Neither can we. When it comes to unwrapping your spiritual gifts, you don't get to open them. God uses other people to do that, for your gift is not for you--it's for others!

How God Unwrapped the Prophetic Gift in My Life

Many years ago in our church as I led worship, I would experience God's powerful anointing. I loved leading worship and the church seemed to love it when I led too. Let me caution you. When you fall in love with your gift and others begin to fall in love with it--be careful. That's when God usually brings people into your life to unwrap you from that gift that you got wrapped up in!

Shortly thereafter, a new elder came on the scene and was given the privilege and authority to call on people to lead worship. I noticed something--he wasn't calling on me! So I began to pray for him for I knew he must have a lot of problems. For God's word says not to touch My anointed. As I prayed for him, nothing happened. I had to sit in the congregation and die in my seat as I longed to be up in the pulpit leading worship. Every time I would look at him up front, I felt a knife going in me. During this time, I would actually get physically sick going to church.

Finally the Lord walked me through Matthew 5:23-24, "Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; (or in my case, if you have ought against him) leave thy gift before the altar and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother and then come and offer thy gift."

It took me many months to walk through forgiving this elder and asking God to bless him and then being able to bless him myself by taking him out to lunch. I then realized why God says to feed your enemies. When we do, Jesus pulls a chair up to that same table and knocks the walls down between you and the person you don't like and causes you to have communion as you eat together!

Finally after many months, we were totally reconciled as though he never had hurt me. Right after we were reconciled, I will never forget the very next Sunday morning in our church. During worship, a Spirit of prophecy came upon me for the first time, and I gave a powerful prophetic word that went outside the walls of our church into nations! After the service was over, God spoke to me. He said, "Bill, it wasn't that elder that moved you out of the pulpit from leading worship. I used that brother to move you, for you loved leading worship so much, you wouldn't have stepped down on your own. I used that elder to move you. I had a another gift to give you, and you wouldn't have been able to receive this prophetic gift in the pulpit since you were all wrapped up in leading worship!"

Getting Past the "Wrapping Paper" to Find the True Gift in Others

Many times in my life over the years, I have not been able to know certain people because I didn't like how they were "wrapped!" They were so different than me, and how they ministered seemed to be a bit crazy. I have noticed something late in life--God seems to increase His anointing on people whom I wouldn't! And I am learning that just maybe they are doing something right after all. It's time we get past the wrapping paper and find the true gift in each other! Lately, God is bringing people back into my life so I can help unwrap their gift and help bring it forth to bless even my own life.

A Christmas Story: There was a father who had a little daughter that was wrapping his Christmas gift with the most expensive wrapping paper in the house. He didn't say anything to her because he loved her. On Christmas morning, the father began to open his gift from his daughter, and as he unwrapped the gift and opened the lid of the box, he found nothing in it. He was so upset, he lost it and blew up at his little girl. He said, "Honey, you used the most expensive wrapping paper we had to wrap my gift and there is nothing in the box!" The little girl responded and said, "Daddy, that box isn't empty, I blew kisses in it for you. I blew kisses in it for you, daddy!" Not long after, the little girl was killed in an accident. When the father was so depressed, he would open up the lid of that box and pull out an imaginary kiss.

Listen carefully--there is always something in the box! God has made every person on earth in His image and even when we think someone has no value or has no gift, there is always something in every person that God has placed to bless our lives.

We must get past one another's gifts and know each other! Our gifts can actually hide us and hinder people from knowing us. I believe many of the most gifted in the Body of Christ are the loneliest. It's lonely at the top. They can't help feeling that people are after their gifts instead of loving them for who they are. I believe God is taking us from paper to people! I believe the greatest gift we can have on earth is a friend. Perhaps our greatest call is being a friend of God, a friend to sinners and a friend to others. God wants us to be known for who we are, not for what we do! I sense the more I am around people and just love them for who they are, their gifts begin to be activated and so are mine!

Many times, the people with the greatest needs will pull on your gifts, but in return, you are able to just love on them. It will always be as it was with Jesus--He was moved with compassion for the people and many miracles, healings and wonders took place.

Let's think outside of the "box" this Christmas!

KIM CLEMENT:

"GOD HAS GIVEN US A BEAUTIFUL PROMISE FOR THIS CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR!"

"As we enter this season of celebration of God's greatest gift to humanity, remember that we are entering the greatest season ever and there is an open door, which means an open Heaven."

Understanding God's Language

Count Basie, the great jazz artist, said, "Everyone prays in their own language. There is no language that God doesn't understand." I personally believe there is a language that God has given to mankind in order for us to communicate freely with Him. In this day and age, we have so many different forms of non-verbal communication, oftentimes preventing eye contact and direct confrontation. Instant messaging, text messaging and email to mention a few, are great to use when a message needs to be sent, but not a wise choice to carry on an intelligent conversation.

God loves it when we use the various languages that He gives us to communicate with Him: faith, passion, love, praise, worship, silence, and the list goes on. We try to communicate to God using our finest articulating skills, hoping to impress Him. But after realizing that our words simply fall to the ground because our hearts are disengaged, we feel less than perfect and even worse, we pull away from God.

John Fisher wrote: "A good man is not a perfect man; a good man is an honest man, faithful and unhesitatingly responsive to the voice of God in his life."

Perfection--who asked for it? Who wants it? Faith is not faith without unbelief. Doubt is an unavoidable part of belief. Doubt isn't the opposite of faith; it is an element of faith. In Genesis 11, men tried to do something that God did not want. They started building upward into Heaven when God in fact wanted them to spread out horizontally throughout the earth. Today we find mankind, especially Christians, trying to do the same thing: avoid the connection with earth and fly away to an ethereal world created through our poetic imagination. What God did in Genesis 11 was an easy solution to the problem. He confounded their language and gave them languages. He never removed their imagination, which was apparently one of the causes of the problem.

God evaluates the problem in Genesis 11:6, "And the Lord said, 'Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they imagine to do will be withheld from them.'"

In other words, whatever they imagine to do, they will succeed in doing. The power of the imagination was crippled without the ability to vocalize it clearly to each other. Once this happened, they scattered and went where they were supposed to go--to the uttermost parts of the earth. Genesis 1:28 says, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish, birds and over every living thing that moves on the earth."

Without God's voice directing us, we are lost because we never know what is on His mind. We have become a people that prefer to "text message" God--to avoid spending time with the real true Being. We are at a distance and so we feel safe, but are we really? God's voice brings ultimate fulfillment. We were born with the desire to have spiritual fulfillment and if it is not present in our lives, we will find fulfillment elsewhere and there will always be a constant vacuum in our lives.

CS Lewis wrote: "Creatures are not born with desires unless satisfaction for those desires exists. A baby feels hunger; well there is such a thing as food; a duckling wants to swim; well there is such a thing as water, etc. If I find myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world."

We are no longer primitive. Now the whole world seems "not holy." Humanity has moved from Pantheism to pan-atheism. Pan-atheism is the belief that because there is no God, nothing can be properly termed sacred or holy. It is hard to desecrate a grove and change your mind. Humanity has doused the burning bush and cannot rekindle it. They are lighting matches in vain under every green tree. Was there a time when the wind would cry out His praise or the hills would shout and extol Him?

The Elements Communicate

Recently, God has used me to give prophetic words regarding the elements in relation to His voice and His plans. The wind, rain, fires and earthquakes are all used in the prophetic communication to direct His people and as signs for things to come. Most of the time, we are at odds with the weather and see it as a commotion resulting from weather patterns, etc. I believe that wherever there is motion, there is a greater force behind it--a voice. In other words, wherever there is motion--a voice exists. We think that any motion, including commotion, is simply a reaction to our actions.

But could it be that God still speaks from the whirlwind? When will we recognize that His voice may be in the fire or the earth? The earth also has a voice, but that is not how God intended it to be. Because we have not stepped into the dominion that God originally gave Adam and have not carried the Voice to speak and command, the earth has been forced to cry out. God's voice is in the earth, the trees, the stones, etc., but the fact is that His ultimate desire is to speak through man, not the elements.

God gave us the Voice back when He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to put life back into lifeless things, including us. He spoke to a fig tree and there was motion. He commanded the wind and there was a change of position. Motion is the process of moving and changing place or position. He was removing death out of the things of the earth with His voice, so that mankind could have dominion; and instead of the elements constantly changing our place or position, God's voice should be directly guiding us. There came a point where Elijah, the great prophet, had to face the fact that in his darkest hour, the wind, earthquake and fire brought no direction from God (1 Kings 19:11-13). He heard something, which the Bible describes as the "still, small voice," which caused motion.

Jesus instructed us to use our faith, and to speak to the mountain to remove it, if necessary. He dealt with the earth, the LIVING things on the earth including the fish, water, wind and trees, and even received the dove as the form taken on by the Holy Spirit to rest upon Him (Matthew 3:16). He commanded Peter to find his tax money in the mouth of a fish, and after Peter cast his net into the vast waters, he discovered a fish with a coin in its mouth (Matthew 17:27). Christ is the Word and He brought the mind of God with Him to the earth. But the most beautiful thing about it is that He transferred the Word into us so that we could be the Voice to anything dying or lifeless.

YOU have the Voice inside of you. You have the ability to hear God directly. Don't let the rocks out praise you. You have God-given dominion over the things of the earth to speak life to the lifeless. Christ came to this earth to be life to the lifeless, hope to the hopeless, and a friend to the friendless.

As we enter this season of celebration of God's greatest gift to humanity, remember that we are entering the greatest season ever and there is an open door, which means an open Heaven. God has given us a beautiful promise for this Christmas and New Year--a promise for our Nation and our families.

Word Prophesied on July 29, 2007--Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

The Spirit of God says, "I've planned a great Christmas for My people. It will be a Christmas that you'll understand where I'm taking you to in this land. The flag will fly, and men will sigh, and they will know that I am here in this land. For Christmas will be the time that I will come and show you something new. There will be miracles on every street, there will be miracles in every family, and if you look for Me, you'll find Me there. There will be miracles for every family. You will see the sign upon the tree. It will bring them together as one because of Me."

"Strongholds and forces of hell who would try and detune the pleasurable sounds of Christmas--this prophet prophesies, 'Nothing shall be successful in your attempt to bring blood over the Christmas season!' The only blood that they shall know about is the Blood of My Son," says the Spirit of the Lord. "There will be a miracle on every street. I have a miracle in every family. If you open up your eyes, you'll find Me there. There will be joy to the world. The faithful will come. Silent night will bear His only Son. I'll be there in the songs. Watch Me on the TV."

"There are so many changes coming for 2008." For God says, "The season of 2008 will bring about families being united, prisoners being freed, and drug addicts, alcoholics, atheists, and agnostics suddenly getting a glimpse of something they don't really know and cannot pronounce nor interpret--but it is Me," says the Lord. "This building is one of many that I will raise up for media."

"When I raise up the President of the United States and fill him with My Spirit, there shall be unusual happenings taking place in America. They shall say, 'Why are these unusual miracles transpiring only in certain places?'" God says, "Because if you cannot see water in the rock, your striking is in vain. If you cannot see water in the rock, your speaking is in vain. You must see what I have just pronounced today."

A Letter of Gratitude

I would like to share something personal with you that really touched me. For almost a year now, my wife Jane and I have been sowing personally and from our ministry into the people of my native land, South Africa. I've attached a letter of gratitude that I received recently from my dear friends that assist me in distributing these gifts, and I hope you are encouraged as you read it, knowing you are also a part of this as you support our ministry.

"Dear Kim,

This letter serves to express my deepest gratitude for your generous donations, which enables us to meet many needs in our country. The most recent recipient is Mbali. Mbali, a 40-year-old mother of three, had to resign as a teacher due to sudden kidney failure. She has been receiving dialysis twice a week since 2004, whilst waiting for a 'miracle'--a compatible kidney. Mbali has no siblings and as her children are underage, they are not allowed to donate an organ. By some miracle working power, Mbali's husband proved to have a perfect match in his body--his kidney is compatible! However, the cost of having the transplant is exceptionally high and way out of their reach. Last year, the couple went on national television with their plight--to no avail. We inserted an appeal for donations towards this cause in our school newsletter. This too proved fruitless. We are most concerned as Mbali's veins are collapsing from the constant needles. Nevertheless, the couple continued to put their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. After our visit to America in November 2006, you began to send finances to be used for the many needs that we come across. Mbali's plight, incidentally her English name is Kim, was high on the list of those who were desperate for help. It is now eight months later and we have sufficient funds for the kidney transplant!

As you are aware from the correspondence received from some of the residents of the old age home, your generous donations have been put to good use. To date, some of the finances you have sent have been used to purchase desperately needed toasters, kettles, hotplates, blankets and linen for the rooms of many residents. Many residents have been able to get necessary medication and medical treatment for their ailments. Several can now see private doctors; one case springs to mind. A resident, who is a diabetic, needed to have two gangrenous toes removed. Without your generosity, I don't know what would have happened to her as her pension barely covers the expense of her room. There are so many cases like this. Another resident was able to purchase the pills she needed to control the epilepsy from which she suffers.

I recall at the Christmas Carol service evening in December, as many as ten old people squashed around a table meant for three at the most. I also recall noticing chairs which were about to break. (What broke my heart was that so many people appeared to need reading glasses as they squinted to see the words, which were written on a hand-out). From the finances you have sent to date, this room has been furnished with extra tables and chairs, broken chairs have been mended, curtains have been made, and a few pictures have been purchased. This has completely transformed the room, and the residents are now beginning to regain their sense of pride. Our future plan is to have every resident's eyes tested and to purchase glasses for those who need them. The next big project is to provide a library in an unused room.

With some of the money you have sent, tickets have been purchased for the residents to have an outing--a VERY rare occasion. They will be attending a musical evening and will each be given a 'goodie box.' This is a great highlight in their lives and has caused great excitement--for this, we thank you.

The Lord clearly states we are to assist widows and orphans. Although not orphaned, a little girl we know has just lost her 35-year-old father to leukemia. Within a week of the diagnosis, he had died, leaving a young widow who really needs two salaries to survive. From your most recent donation to the people of South Africa, we plan to buy this child uniforms, stationary and books (she is due to start school in January), and plan to assist her in the payment of school fees.

I speak on behalf of all the above people as I thank you and the Lord for the blessing you have been, and continue to be to the people of South Africa. You have certainly touched lives and have given comfort and hope to many." --Love, Edwina

I want to encourage you to give as God gave so beautifully to us during this Christmas season, and I want you to believe God for the greatest year EVER! As He gave us His only Son, let us give back and also sow into His word and seal the promise that He gave us for a: VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Merry Christmas,

**Note** I had a dream the other night, I meant to post the part about God giving me a folded wallet to hold up in front of the congregation, he told me to tell the people to watch how they **Spend** their time...

Here is a word from Kim Clement!

October 28, 2007

Kim Clement:

"THE SCROLL HAS BEEN OPENED--What Einstein saw before he died will be revealed in this day and age"

October 5, 2007--Seattle, WA

"You will hear My Name in the streets of Jerusalem. You will hear My Name. You will hear them shout, you will hear them praise Yeshua. The enemy will rise up and try to bring them down. How many times have they tried to stop Jerusalem? But they will hear My name. The children will shout, 'Yeshua.' You will hear My name, you will feel My presence in the streets of Jerusalem."

"There will be a breakthrough in 2008. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Pray for the peace of the Middle East, for it will come for a season. They will shout My name in the streets of Jerusalem. Pray, pray, pray for Israel. Pray for Jerusalem."

"There's a leader there that I'm raising up in Israel. He will not look to the left, he will not look to the right, but he will proclaim with all his might, 'I trust in Jehovah.' There's a man that I'm raising up who will lead the people of Israel. He will say, 'I trust in the name of God--the ancient God with the ancient covenant.' I will raise up a voice in Israel for the first time since that little nation has come together in 1948. This man who will lead Israel, shall be filled with My Spirit," says the Lord. "Pray, pray, pray for Jerusalem. The mountain shall try to condemn them, the rocks shall cry out. There's only one rock that will cry out tonight. Pray, pray, pray for Jerusalem."

"Pray, pray, pray for China. They will stand as your friend, America. For a season, they will condemn the deception of Iraq. I will do something unique in 2008--I will raise a voice out of China."

"Pray, pray, pray for America. Smile saints, smile for 2008. For who I place in your White House, shall know the Spirit of God in a way. A very unique thing I will do. I told you before, there will be joy and celebration. For the man I place in the White House, shall not be filled with My Spirit when he goes in, but when he settles down, I will baptize him with fire and the Holy Spirit."

"Pray, pray, pray for America. The land of the brave, the land of the free, the Spirit shall be free. America, you are free. You are free from the oil crisis. Soon and very, very soon, there shall be five sources of energy that you will have to choose from. Rejoice, for you are going to see the celebration of My choice in this nation. America, you are the salt of the earth. You are the light of the world. America, you are free."

The Spirit of the Lord says, "You know the word that was spoken before, 'Tomorrow, about this time, things are going to change.'" God says, "Do you realize that I have the power of tomorrow in My hands? Do you realize that I have tomorrow, and tomorrow is about to become your today? Do you realize that what I've spoken is already in existence, is already in the atmosphere, is already in the making? Do you realize what I have promised, and what I have spoken is becoming reality? It's going from a spiritual dimension to a physical dimension."

God says, "I'm about to bring something that has never appeared on this planet into existence. This is the month of October--I spoke about the month of great favor. Many of you will end this month saying, 'It is impossible that this took place, this has never ever happened before.'" God says, "Yes, many of you will make the proclamation, 'This has never ever happened before.' For this is the day of things that will happen that have never taken place before. Take this word, this is your promise. This has never ever happened before and shall be yours," says the Lord.

October 14, 2007--Pasadena, CA

God says, "There is a Heaven that has been shut for many years, but hear the word of the Lord tonight: I have opened a door that no man can shut!"

God says, "I've given a key--the key of David," and God said, "no man shall shut the door that I open for you. In this month," says the Lord, "this highly favored month where things shall be exposed, I shall once again destroy the destroyer with open language and on public media. But I say this to you: I have opened up a door and the Heavens are wide open, therefore, rejoice and receive it, for the key has been given to you."

The Spirit of God says, "Hear the words that come from My treasury. There is a season of great peace coming on the 60th anniversary for next year," says God. "Those that have surrounded Israel, shall be shocked by the tempestuous winds and elements that shall react to a great celebration on the streets of Jerusalem." Why do I speak of this? For is it not true that we are the children of Abraham? For He that was nailed to a tree gave us the blessings of Abraham.

But there shall be a sign in May of next year, and God said, "Tempestuous things will take place. You say, 'These things already take place.' No, I'm speaking about in the elements, in the earth, where there shall be signs that the Lord God, 'YAHWEH-Jehovah,' has yet to do something in the streets of Jerusalem; has yet to do something in the streets of Jerusalem. And even though you have come to Zion, the City of God, there is yet a special place in My heart for a piece of soil that was once set aside for Yeshua to come into this world, born in a stable."

For God said, "Now, you will see how, once again, I will shake Jerusalem, I will shake Mount Carmel, I will shake in Megiddo, I will shake, but it will not be the judgment that they have spoken of in the Book of Revelation as they have predicted it." God said, "A shaking that shall say the name 'Yeshua' and they shall name 'Messiah is coming, Messiah has light.'" And God said, "Rejoice from this Nation, you have stood and I will reward you," says the Lord God. "I will truly reward you. They will say the name 'Yeshua', they will say the name Yeshua in the streets of Jerusalem!"

For some reason, I felt the Spirit saying, "Mothers, I am focusing on mothers for an enrichment, for renewal. For in this Nation, there are mothers who have been abused, mothers who have been downtrodden, and as I have said," says the Spirit of God, "I have opened up the Heavens."

The Spirit of God said, "Mothers, watch how I raise up mothers who will raise up 'Samuels.' They will raise up 'Samuels' who will invade the system that has been controlled by 'Eli.' Where there was no open vision, there was no open Heaven," but God said, "that day is coming to an end. Although there has been a great treasury of truth and light that has been revealed to My people, this is a day of the fulfillment of the prophetic word to Daniel, where the Kingdom shall not only be received, but it shall be possessed," says the Spirit of God. "This is that time! This is the time when the Kingdom is not only received, but is possessed."

For God said, "What you are possessing has never been possessed by any generation or by any man. This is not a renewal, this is not a revival, this is not a refreshing, this is something that is coming that has never ever happened before," says the Spirit of God. "Why? Because science and God shall meet in a very unique manner," says the Lord. "And what Einstein saw before he died will be revealed in this day and age--in the energy crisis," says the Spirit of God.

"Therefore, look up now--for the scroll has been opened, the Heavens are open, resources are coming to you," says the Lord, "as they did on the Day of Pentecost in the upper room, when there was a sound that came from above," says the Lord. "There was a sound that brought people into a place of new language and new thoughts and new ideas and new mentality." God said, "They shall not, you shall not have to beg them to come. They shall stand outside and say, 'What shall we do to be saved?' This is your day," says the Lord!

EXTRA: Special Word From Kim Clement Regarding the California Wildfires

Intro from Steve Shultz:

First and foremost, our fervent prayers go out to all those affected by the wildfires in Southern California. My wife Derene and I, and our ElijahList staff continue to pray and lift up all those living there and for all of the rescue workers working around the clock to save lives, put out the fires, and safely evacuate people out of harm's way.

Our good friend and one of God's most respected prophetic voices, Kim Clement, sent us an "extra" word this afternoon and we wanted to get it out to our readers as soon as possible. Kim shares some excerpts from recent prophetic meetings in which he spoke words over California and God's purposes and LOVE over the great state of California.

For those who can attend, Kim is also inviting you to come to his next meeting this Sunday night on August 28th in Pasadena, California. He will for sure have more prophetic insight from the Lord and for all those who can be there, I encourage you to attend.

God is on the throne and He has a plan for California and we rejoice and bless His plans for this great state!

Blessings,

Kim Clement: A Special Word Concerning the California Wildfires

God revealed the very events that are presently happening in Southern California at our Secrets meetings in Pasadena, and in our gathering in Beverly Hills. Over the past year, I have informed my constituents that God will speak to us during the Secrets meetings as promised when He sent myself, my wife Jane, our family, and our team to California. Over the past weeks, our support and our crowds in California have diminished, and sadly so. However, the spiritual momentum and expression is even stronger than ever.

It seems that unless there is a catastrophe, the prophetic voice is ignored or disregarded. However, during seemingly peaceful times, God uses the prophet to reveal future events. After all, that is what God has gifted a prophet to do. People are hard of hearing when things are still and seemingly at peace, and so, we noticed this with our Secrets meetings. During two of these meetings, God spoke about an "evacuation" and "terrible winds" and a "huge tornado."

CNN and others have named our present crisis as a "firenado." This is exactly what God was speaking about in these prophetic utterances. As you know, prophecy is the unfolding of a future event through a human tongue and therefore, cannot always be clearly understood. But God does provide us with spiritual ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church.

This Sunday night, October 28th, I urge you to attend our Gathering in Pasadena. Believe me, God will speak.

Below is the synopsis of prophetic words regarding the present winds and fires in California. Read and understand where God is taking us and rejoice.

Prophetic Words Over California

Prophesied on August 5th, 2007--Beverly Hills, CA:
"Awaken; rise up, for this Beverly Hills is but nothing. Who would take occupation of this territory? This is time for an evacuation. This is a time for an evacuation of every controlling force and principality that would dare to utter that, 'Yeshua has been expelled from the streets of Beverly Hills.' No! Yeshua is about to take to the streets of Beverly Hills," says the Lord.

"Is this necessary in some of your minds for us to shout out the name of the One that will raise the dead, the name of the One that will heal the sick, the name of the One that will bring the truth, the name of the One that will bring them down, and the name of the Holy Son of God?" --End of word.

Oftentimes, God speaks about a spiritual event taking place by using words that connect with the elements--wind, fire, rain, etc. On that night in Beverly Hills, we broadcasted live on GodTV and during the night, God spoke about an evacuation. This is a word that I had never used in prophetic communication before. When I said it, I remember wondering why God impressed that word on my heart.

During my prayer time in the afternoon, I wrote these words in my notes: "It's time for an evacuation--an evacuation in Los Angeles and the regions that will need a discharge of waste material that is poisoning the body. There will be an expulsion of the heads of dead religious establishments."

When I stood on the platform and made this announcement, I clearly connected the "spiritual purpose" to the evacuation. For a prophet to predict such a thing and use the word "Evacuate" without a significant "spiritual purpose" behind it, would be dishonoring the true nature and character of the prophet. God doesn't simply shake the earth, or allow reactions from the elements without making a significant statement.

God loves California and therefore--a purging is taking place. The earth also has a voice and reacts to violent abuse.

I have noticed when God gives me a word, it continues and progresses as I travel--very much like a puzzle being put together with the pieces in various places. After the Beverly Hills event, we were meeting in Pasadena on August 19th, 2007, and again God spoke these words with a little more detail:

Prophesied on August 19th, 2007--Pasadena, CA:
"There is an evacuation," says the Spirit of God. "There will be an evacuation of every lie, every past memory, and every traditional force that has tried to hold back the Spirit of God. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."

I have expectancy that Jesus is not finished with California. "God is not finished with California," as many would say. God says to you California, "I've listened to your cry; I've listened to your words of fear. I love you, as I always have. In My hands, in My feet, you will see the marks of love." God says, "I'm shaking the powers of hell, so that you can understand freedom has come to California." --End of word

A very important key was given in this prophetic word regarding the wind in the form of a tornado coming to California and then affecting the entire nation. Please note that God gave directives regarding this present catastrophe in California:

Prophesied on October 6th, 2007--Seattle, WA:
A tornado--which will be a sign to this nation. I see a huge tornado. God said, "It comes and it cleans, and men say, 'it is destructive.'" But it is a sign, for God said, "Something shall be carried into the atmosphere by this tornado." But God said, "It's starting as a whirlwind in this place, but shall become a great tornado in this nation," says the Lord. --End of word

Finally, during the month of July of this year, while I was in Harrisburg, PA, God gave me a strong prophetic word regarding the fires, and I believe He was preparing us for what was about to happen:

Prophesied on July 27th, 2007--Harrisburg, PA:
Rejoice, please, for God said, "You shall see fires through this Nation, but holy fires. You will see an intervention and Me going into the media and taking the streets of this Nation." Why? God said, "You have prophesied the wind and now you shall reap great, great, great rain," says the Lord. "You will reap great whirlwinds and they will come."

One more thing, the Spirit of God said, "Rejoice in this that you hear tonight. For even as you understand that the fires I speak about will burn out dross and put in the White House a man who will then be transformed into a righteous believer." God said, "Do not fear, for I will Not allow this Nation to fall on their knees in unnecessary humility, but in humbleness of mind. And I will take the fire and destroy your enemies. Your time of peace has come, but more than this--your time of prosperity has come, America," says the Spirit of the Living God!

Grace and peace,

KIM CLEMENT and JAMIE GALLOWAY:

"SIGNS IN THE EARTH and A VISITATION FROM THE ANGEL GABRIEL"

Intro from Steve Shultz:

We are surely in the days of seeing signs in the Heavens and in the earth. We are experiencing "unusual" weather patterns like never before.

Below are a few prophetic excerpts we took from previous postings prophesying about fires spreading to the west and God's words over California. So much prophecy has been spoken over California in just this year alone. We knew to expect shakings and signs in the earth and we are in the midst of seeing these take place.

Also below is a word from Jamie Galloway, a young minister from Tennessee, who has ministered with my good friend, James Goll. Jamie shares a visitation he recently had with the angel, Gabriel and about the drought in the southern US. Jamie shares, "It is time for Heaven to bring refreshing to this land, and we need to yield our hearts to His call. Contend for rain in our hearts and our land."

Romans 8 says that creation waits in eager expectation for the "sons of God" to be revealed and has been "groaning" as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. What can we do right now as sons and daughters as we see these unusual weather patterns and the dire need for Heaven to invade us? Reveal ourselves in Prayer! As sons and daughters of the Most High, we are to contend for God's miracle-working power to invade the earth!

In the face of recent political moves and present horrific fires, as well as the amazing plans the Lord has ordained, California needs our carefully chosen prayers and words of blessing.

Both of these areas need supernatural miracles from Heaven to invade the earth! Let's stand together in prayer, revealing ourselves as the sons of God and call forth the very will of God in the Southeast and the Southwest!

KIM CLEMENT: More on "The Big E" and a Word for California

August 19, 2007--Hollywood–Pasadena, California

The Spirit of the Lord says, "Even as I have sent signs to this nation, signs in the earth, signs from the Heavens, great winds of the northeast, fires within the middle of the nation--prepare yourself for one of the greatest harvests ever. There is an evacuation," says the Spirit of God. "There will be an evacuation of every lie, every past memory, and every traditional force that has tried to hold back the Spirit of God. Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty."

I have an expectancy that Jesus is not finished with California. "God is not finished with California," as many would say. God says to you California, "I've listened to your cry, I've listened to your words of fear. I love you as I always have. In My hands, in My feet, you will see the marks of love."

The Spirit of God says, "People, people rejoice, for many have said, 'The ground shall shake and your cities shall be swallowed up.' To those that have said this--I have predicted the exact opposite." The Lord says, "Your earth is shaken, but not for judgment sake. Yes, there are sinners and yes, there are those that are rotten from within," but God says, "Do you think they are too rotten for Me to save and to raise up? NO, not for the God of Elijah and the God of Elisha and the God of Abraham and Isaac and the God of Paul and the God of Peter."

Listen to me, He is says to you today, "There is going to be a new adventure of evangelism that's going to take place. Rejoice because your earth will shake from earthquakes, but it will be so minute, that people will say, 'What is happening?'" God says, "I'm shaking the powers of hell so that you can understand freedom has come to California."

July 28, 2007--Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

"In this Nation, yes, there shall be three earthquakes," says the Lord. "Not earthquakes of judgment, but a sign in the earth. The wind has brought the rain. Signs from above. Fires have come on top of the land. Signs on top of the land. Fire consuming religion, consuming witchcraft and consuming control, and the synagogues of satan shall be invaded by the forces of righteousness," says the Lord of hosts.

"No more reasoning. No more debating. Go and show. Don't go and tell, go and show. For now you have embarked upon a period of manifestation," says the Lord. "Now there must be a sign underneath the earth. And surely, your earth shall shake, saying to you, 'Three times,' and showing you three arenas:

The Heavens--where the wind came and the rain came to America.

On the earth--the fires that came in the middle of this nation and shall continue in the west.

And then underneath the earth--the shaking."

And God says, "You know why? Because the demonic powers that have held tight are now being released and being taken care of and being completely annihilated," says the Spirit of the Lord. "They will never be above you; they will always be beneath you," says the Spirit of the God.

April 4, 2007--Redding, California

"And in the month of May and October of this year, I will grant an unusual amount of favor. I will grant an unusual amount of favor not only to the Church but into this Nation, for the rain shall come upon the just and the unjust. For suddenly, there will be a rapidity, there will be a movement that shall happen so quickly that they shall say, 'We did not bring birth or give birth to this. No man will take credit for this that is about to happen." God said, "It shall be like Elijah, where there was no proof of his birth or of his beginning and no proof of his death." God said, "This that I will do, shall give no man credit, for it shall be the most unusual thing," says the Lord. "And I have focused upon California to do this, yes I have!"

For God said, "In 1967, a revolution took place," and now God said, "of a greater kind, of a magnitude like you have never seen, and greater than what took place in 1967 in the northern part of California." God said, "This shall be something that will never die," says the Lord of Hosts!

The Spirit of God says, "Many will say, 'What do you mean it will never die? Revivals have begun and revivals have ended.'" God said, "In this one, there is no end!"

The Spirit is dictating from this atmosphere--you have arrested the powers of darkness, and you have made an adjustment in the atmosphere, and there has been an atmosphere adjustment. I hear the sound of an abundance; I hear the sound of resurrection!!

Jamie Galloway: "A Visitation from Gabriel"

As some of you may have read and heard about the drought in the southeastern areas of the United States, I felt it was important to share this word of encouragement and how we ought to respond.

On the 24th of August, I was taken into a prophetic experience where I saw the angel, Gabriel. This was a first for me! When I write that I saw him, it was not in my spirit or my minds eye, but I was there in the spirit, where he was. As Paul the apostle wrote concerning his Heavenly encounter, "Whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows" (2 Corinthians 12:2), the same was very true with this prophetic experience.

My wife and I were staying at Kimberly and Alberto Rivera's house when I saw him. His hair was both black and gold, and his skin was made of gold and silver. His nose was longer in its definition and he had clouds at his feet. His eyes were deep and he had the look of a focused man. I was stunned as I stared at him. I fell near his feet and deliberately raised my hands up and began to worship the name of Jesus Christ.

He spoke something personal, but his very appearance was incredibly
significant for the U.S. And that night was the first time it had poured a heavy rain in Nashville, Tennessee, almost all summer.

The following day, I told a good friend and intercessor about the visitation and the rains, and he responded with something very interesting. He spoke with his wife a few days earlier, confirming my visitation with Gabriel. My friend felt like the only thing that could have the potential to break off the drought of Tennessee and the rest of the South, would call for Jesus to specifically send the angel, Gabriel.

I knew Jesus had sent him to bring rain and on September 8, a tropical cyclone named "Gabrielle" started heading towards North Carolina. The storm was named Gabrielle, which is the feminine form of "Gabriel." I believe God was sending this strong wind to be a blessing of rain to North Carolina and a message to the South. I believe our Papa was manifesting Himself as gentle and loving, like a mother hen as Jesus said it Himself in Luke 13:34. He could have come as another form, but He chose to show His gentleness. The storm reported no fatalities and little destruction, but gave massive amounts of rain. This was a blessing and not a curse.

A Word to the South

The word I am getting for the South is it is time to "Cast your cares upon the Lord for He Cares for you" (1 Peter 5:7). The drought is a sign to us of our spiritual status. But if we must not settle for a drought in our hearts, we must contend for a softening of our hearts to be sensitive to God's voice. To the South, it is time to "Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you" (James 4:8).

Gabriel is a messenger of Heaven that was foreshadowing things to come. We need to hear the prophetic message God is saying at this time. It is time for Heaven to bring refreshing to this land, and we need to yield our hearts to His call. Contend for rain in our hearts and our land.

Taffie Furr:
"THE DREAM TO BE HIS BRIDE--WE HAVE A CHOICE TO MAKE"
Insight into Our Dreams
Oftentimes, the Lord will speak to us through dreams to convey "specific insight" which we may not otherwise have revelation of. Dreams can sometimes be hard to understand. Many times, they are filled with people and things that are "symbolic" for something other than what you are actually "seeing" in your dream. But not all dreams are filled with such symbolism; some are made easy for us to understand and have a meaning just as they are shown to us.
Just as God speaks to us uniquely while we are awake, He also speaks uniquely to each of us while we are sleeping. Sometimes, the Lord will give us dreams that are meant only for us as personal insight, and other times He gives insight for the extended Body of Christ.
One of the ways that God gives me the understanding of whether a dream is only for my personal insight versus for the Body of Christ is in how I appear in the dream. If I am merely a "spectator" in the dream or if my appearance is not as I truly am, then I know this dream is not personally for me. For instance, in a dream that is of this nature, I may have the appearance of a man, a child, or even a woman, except I appear differently than what I actually look like.
Yesterday, in the early morning, the Lord gave me such a dream.
A Dream of Choices
I was a young woman, within the age range of early to mid-twenties. I was involved in a relationship with a young man, who had proposed marriage to me. Although we had not officially set a wedding date yet, there seemed to be a peace and a trust in the solidity of the relationship. This young man was muscular and very handsome, and he was also genuinely good and trustworthy. He was fun, interesting, and someone who walked in integrity. Someone that you could always count on to follow through with his word.
I felt very passionate about him in my heart. As I thought about our future together, I knew that he would provide a nice home and all of my needs would be provided for. I could see that we would have an enjoyable life. We would have more than just our basic needs met, but also not lavishly pursuing material abundance, because the joy we would have together would come more from enjoying life itself.
Although I was in a strong relationship with this young man, I'm not sure how it came about, but I began to take up company with "another" young man. It was more of a "social relationship." Whenever we were together, we were never alone; we were always in public places. This man would be considered to be a "nice" person, yet his character didn't seem to quite match the other young man's, in depth character.
He could be described as an average-looking person. There was nothing in his personality nor his appearance that would cause him to stand out above the rest, unlike the other young man. What did stand out though, was this man's "great wealth." His family owned their own business, which was quite prosperous and thriving. He was very generous with his money and when buying things, he spared no expense. Often, after being in his company, I would later find out that he placed a bundle of money inside of my pocket, without my knowledge of him doing so.
This man also proposed to me. After proposing, he took me to his home, showing all I would have access to if I were to marry him. His great wealth most definitely was showcased in his house. If it were not the finest of the finest, he did not want it in his house. He was very meticulous and wanted everything in its proper place, always in order, organized, and very predictable.
The dream ended as I was telling his sister that I was faced with making "a choice." I realized that both men could not stay in my life and whichever one I chose, the other one would have to leave. I awoke knowing who it was that I truly loved.
Interpretation
The young woman I represented in the dream was the "Church"--the betrothed Bride of Christ.
The first young man that stood out above the crowd in his good looks as well as his character, represented the "Holy Spirit." He is everything that has real, true purpose, not what is superficial. In Him is depth, and strength and He is beautiful to behold.
The second young man who had knowledge of the relationship between the young woman and the first man, still sought to entice the woman in becoming his bride. He offered her what could appeal to her flesh, but nothing that had lasting value. This man represents the "traditions of religion." Everything that was shown and offered was nothing of a true relationship, but only what makes you feel good for a time. The time spent together was only represented in public places because there was no place of intimacy, which is needed for a true relationship.
Dear friends only become so dear to one another because they take the time for intimate conversation and get to know one another's hearts.
In this dream, the Lord is revealing to us, His Church, that we are at the crossroads of decision. This is a personal choice and decision that each of us will individually face.
Probably most of us can testify of having tasted the intimate fellowship and passionate relationship with the person of the Holy Spirit. It can only be best defined as a "sacred romance." Spending time in the Lord's presence on a daily basis, in His word, in worship, sharing your heart in conversation with Him, and listening to Him share His heart with you, establishes true intimacy and friendship with Him. It's in this kind of walk with Him that you will find the liberty of the Spirit and know Him for truly who He is and not who man's doctrine tells you He is.
So what is the decision that we all must face? To resist or to agree with the temptation to turn away from our "first love," and fall back into the entrapment of the doctrine of religion?
The danger of the snare is that it's not always as easy to detect as one might think. Sometimes we step into it with the most well-meaning of intentions. Don't misunderstand me, I totally support the function that the local churches have for the Church. We are not to forsake the assembly of ourselves and I believe it to be very vital for the edification, fellowship and joint supply of the Body of Christ.
On the other hand, it is very important to know the difference from what "the Lord" has called you to do opposed to what "you or someone else" may have called you to do. It can be very easy to spend all of our time and energy attending or tending to the various kinds of programs and activities within our local church. In our business of "doing" all that we think is necessary, sometimes before we realize what has happened, we have busied ourselves away from the first love relationship with our Savior, because He did not fit into our schedule of required duties.
Just as in the dream, with the second fellow, there was social time spent, but in that time, there was no depth or intimacy of relationship being established, so the time was actually only superficial. The reward in the relationship was only temporal, nothing he offered had any real eternal value. If you were to take away all of the material possessions that he had, there was nothing left that made him stand out from the rest.
If you were to take away all of the material possessions from the first man, He still had everything that fueled the passion of the heart, because what made Him stand out from the rest came from within Him. He just is who He is, or from the perspective of Him representing the Spirit of God, He is "I AM."
He is our all in all, within Him is everything that we could ever possibly need, want, hope for or desire.
Our First Relationship
A relationship with our Lord isn't simply knowing about Him, or even knowing His ways. It's not in fulfilling duties within our local church. It's daily interaction with Him, it's a fiery passion that burns within your heart for Him, and it's also recognizing His presence within you. And in knowing Him, you also know His ways.
If we become preoccupied with "duties" and forget the relationship with the Lord within our time at church or in our daily walk, we have nothing more than a religion, a program, or a daily routine which does not stand out in a crowd above the rest.
"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Matthew 6:19-21
The Lord is "wooing and beckoning" His Bride--that's us! He desires that we stay intimately involved with Him; that we would not be drawn away and enticed by another, not even for a moment. There's a sacred romance to be found with Him that is available to all of us. It's more exciting and fulfilling than anything that this world's riches or doctrine of religion has to offer.
Let us, as His Bride, be sure that we are turning to and not forsaking our First Love, which we will find in the intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit. Let's remember and apply this promise in James 4:8, "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you!"

Matt Sorger:
"HEAVEN IS RELEASING NEW ASSIGNMENTS--PICK UP YOUR MANTLE"
"Never forget that mantles always have a price. Salvation is free, but the weight of His glory will cost you something."
THE MANTLE ROOM OF HEAVEN
I was recently caught up into a Heavenly visitation during one of our "Awakening Gatherings." That morning, as I stood to the pulpit to preach, I was instantly brought into an "open-eyed vision" where I was taken to a room in Heaven. Peering through the door, I could see many robe-like garments hanging along the wall. As I entered into the room, I could see that these garments were different sizes and patterned with many different colors. I intuitively knew that this was the "Mantle Room of Heaven." The Lord spoke to my heart, telling me that these garments were mantles He created and prepared for His people to wear on the earth. They would empower His children to fulfill their Heavenly callings and mandates.
In my vision of the Mantle Room, I saw that not one of these mantles were the same. Each was a unique size and color. I understood that God did not want carbon copies, but originals. He has a unique mantle made just for you. God does not want you to pattern yourself after another person or ministry. He wants you to be uniquely you. There is an aspect of His nature and power that He wants to display through your life. Each mantle, when worn by an individual on the earth, expresses a unique facet of God's nature and glory in Heaven.
Get ready! Some of these mantles are right now hovering over the Church and are about to be released in the earth. God is looking for those He can place them on. Some mantles will resemble things we have seen and are familiar with, while others will empower people to do things that have never been done before this time in history! God is looking for those He can anoint with fresh oil.
NEW MANTLES ARE ABOUT TO BE RELEASED
In a recent dream, the Lord showed me one of the mantles about to be released over the corporate Body of Christ. In my dream, I was in a house full of people. I heard a knock at the door and went to open it. When I opened the door, a very elderly woman was standing there. She could barely stand and looked like she was just about to pass over into eternity. I instantly recognized her. She was a very old "Kathryn Kuhlman." I reached down and put my arms under her, picked her up and carried her into the house. As I stepped over the threshold into the house, I awoke from my sleep. --End of dream.
For weeks I prayed over this dream, asking God for understanding. As I waited on the Lord, He began to unfold its meaning to me.
The Lord used the picture of Kathryn Kuhlman (along with her age) to symbolically speak to me. Once again, there is about to be released over the Church, a mantle that is similar to the one this great woman of God wore. Not only will it release mass miracles, but it is deeply connected to our level of intimacy with the Person of the Holy Spirit. It is a mantle of extraordinary power as well as deep intimacy with God. This mantle releases creative miracles as the atmosphere of Heaven is released in and over our lives. This type of mantle will not just cover one or two. God is wanting to release it over the Corporate Body. But it does require something....
It requires a life of complete surrender, obedience and death to self. It requires a lifestyle of deep communion with God. This mantle is being made available to all who want it and are willing to pay the price that goes along with it. Never forget that mantles always have a price. Salvation is free, but the weight of His glory will cost you something. With power comes responsibility. The heavier the mantle God gives you, the more dead to self you must be.
We can see the weight of responsibility that goes along with receiving a mantle in Numbers 11:17. The Lord said to Moses, "I will come down and speak with you there, and I will take of the Spirit that is on you and put the Spirit on them. They will help you carry the burden of the people so that you will not have to carry it alone." Not only was the "authority" of Moses transferred to 70 people, the "responsibility" of bearing the burden of the people came with it.
BEING IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME
In my dream, it was significant that I had to pick Kathryn Kuhlman up. When God releases a mantle, we must pick it up! There is an action required on our part. When the mantle fell from Elijah, Elisha had to bend down and pick up that mantle. When he did, the Spirit of the Lord came upon him. Elisha had to be in the right place at the right time to receive that mantle. It required persistence, determination and faithfulness on his part so he would be correctly positioned to receive the mantle when the time came for it to be released.
The same is true for us. It does matter where you are and who you are hanging out with! Some visitations from the Lord require you being in a specific place at a specific time. It is crucial that we are where God wants us to be, so that He can visit us in such a way to release the new mantles He has for us.
I know each time I have received a mantle from the Lord, it has been in a specific place and time. Each time I was exactly where the Spirit wanted me to be. For example, the Lord led me to be in Moriah Chapel in Wales during the 100-year anniversary of the Welsh Revival. It was during this special time of prayer and seeking the Lord that I had a deep encounter with the "Revival Mantle." I could physically feel a blanket-like garment being draped over my legs and around my waist. God gave me a very deep revelation on the true meaning of revival, but that is for another article.
Another time I was in Europe, ministering with an evangelist friend in Estonia, who was doing some large evangelistic crusades when the "Mass Crusade Mantle" came upon me. I was standing on the platform when it happened. The anointing for miracles and mass salvation came into the meeting. As I was standing on the right side of the platform, it felt like someone placed a blanket over my head, shoulders and arms. There was a new mantle for mass crusades being placed on my life. This mantle was released in the midst of the glorious atmosphere of a mass crusade meeting. I was in the right place at the right time. Just three months later, I held my first mass crusade in India. Multitudes were saved, healed of sickness and delivered from demonic oppression!
WHAT TYPES OF MANTLES CAN WE EXPECT TO SEE?
I want to briefly share with you four mantles that we can expect to see released in this next season. This is by no means an exclusive list. There are many other mantles to pick up and receive besides the four I am about to share. I simply want to highlight some of the mantles the Lord has highlighted to me.
The first is connected to the dream I had concerning Kathryn Kuhlman. This mantle is a "Mantle of Glory and Creative Miracles." It will bring a keen sensitivity to the Person of the Holy Spirit and will release amazing signs and wonders, not just inside church buildings, but everywhere His people carry His glory. The Lord recently spoke to me that He was raising the standard in the healing movement once again. Matthew 12:15 says, "He healed them ALL."
This outpouring will release an even greater wave of signs and wonders, not just in the church services, but in the marketplace. God is looking for vessels He can endue with power out in the marketplace. We will see "backyard miracles" in mass--miracles in the homes, in the workplace, out on the streets, in the hospitals and in the malls. We will see creative miracles everywhere God's people go, releasing the power of the Kingdom into this present age.
The second is a "Mantle of Mass Deliverance." Not only will we see mass miracles, but there is also a wave of mass deliverance coming. People that have struggled in areas of their lives for years will receive breakthrough as the fire of deliverance is released into their lives. I encourage you to pray this prayer, "Lord, uncover and expose every area of darkness in my heart." As you do, God will release by His Spirit, a deep deliverance in your life.
Just as the Lord delivered Israel out of the hands of the Egyptians in mass, so God will deliver His people in mass. And we are not coming out empty-handed. This is where we will see the supernatural divine transfer of wealth which the prophets have been proclaiming. Mass deliverance is connected to the release of this divine transfer (see Exodus 3:20-22).
The third is a "Mantle of Supernatural Favor." God is placing mantles of favor upon His children in this hour. It's the type of favor that God placed on Isaac as he was taking possession of the land of his inheritance in Genesis 26. As he contended for what God said was his, the Lord eventually even caused his enemies to want to be at peace with him. Isaac eventually came into a place of total fulfillment and rest as he dug a well and called the name of the place Beersheba, meaning "Well of the Seven." Seven speaks of "fulfillment, completion and rest." Favor makes a way where there seems to be no way and causes you to receive all God has for you.
The fourth is a "Media Mantle." We will see a "Media Revival" with a move of God spreading through the airwaves. The Lord spoke to me that He is raising up TV networks that will help facilitate this end time move of God. GodTV is one of those networks. But there are more. Jesus will even be glorified over the secular networks! God is placing Media Mantles on people who will glorify His name through various media outlets.
As we move into this next season, I encourage you to stay sensitive to the voice of the Spirit as He leads you into times of prayer and waiting on Him. This will prepare you to be fully ready for all that He wants to release in and through your life. Get ready to pick up your mantle!

Barbie Breathitt:
"THE CYCLE OF LIFE--WE ARE COMPLETING SEVEN YEARS OF PREPARATION"
"As living stones full of God's love we will reflect the fullness of His Spirit and power in the sevenfold anointings, releasing the creative realm."
Christ's eternal DNA gives us the power to create eternity through faith and belief, or the temporal through doubt and unbelief. God has hidden destiny and eternity in our hearts. Discovering these hidden mysteries opens the door to abundant life. Life does not exist in beginning and ending, but in a continuous flow that grows and brings forth new life. The secret things concealed in our hearts belong to the Lord, but the things revealed belong to us and our children, so the cycle of life and revelation continues from generation to generation.
Everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing can be taken from it. God acts so that men will revere Him. All life comes from Him and through Him--and to Him it returns. The depths and paths of the wisdom and knowledge of God are beyond tracing because they are always expanding and unfolding to reveal His perfect will.
Eternity is Represented by an Unending Circle
God is giving us an invitation to partake of the eternal and break out of the temporal realm of the natural. Second Corinthians 4:18 says: "So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
Often, we live our lives in toil, worry, thinking, and being aware of the natural realm. Our goal should be Kingdom power, which exists in the fruits of the Spirit. Kingdom power is manifested in love and peace that passes all understanding and is obtained on a higher spiritual plane. This leaves us with little room to worry about temporal encumbrances. Believers should seek first the Kingdom of God.
Believers are completing seven years of preparation in God's "cyclic" timetable. Regularly repeated sequences of events are maturing us into spiritual perfection and purification, enabling us to become polished living stones in God's royal diadem.
In January 2007, thousands of believers started the year off right at the Super Pit, on the University of North Texas campus, by seeking God's face in word, praise and worship. The vision realm opened to me where everyone seated in the stands appeared as large burnt geode stones. Suddenly, a Heavenly gate opened and fiery angels descended with drawn swords, striking the stones, releasing Isaiah 11:2--the Seven Spirits of the Lord with their corresponding seven brilliant rainbow colors.
Jeremiah 23:29 states, "'Is not My Word like fire,' declares the LORD, 'and like a Hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?'" The "Breaker Spirits" shattered the dull, hard casings of the burnt stones exposing the vibrantly colored red, green, blue, purple, indigo, orange, and yellow precious gemstones. The precious stones reflected love's white light, displaying the brilliance of the Spirit of the Lord.
2007 enables us to complete a seven year cycle, to break off the old, burnt, hardhearted, stone coverings of doubt and unbelief, shame, control, sin, reproach, and defeat. We are being drawn out of the fiery furnace of affliction and testing, which God uses to circumcise the sinful nature.
First Peter 2:4-9 says, "As you come to Him, the living Stone--rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to Him--you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For in Scripture it says:
'See, I lay a Stone in Zion, a chosen and precious Cornerstone, and the one who trusts in Him will never be put to shame.' Now to you who believe, this Stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, 'The Stone the builders rejected has become the Capstone,' and, 'A Stone that causes men to stumble and a Rock that makes them fall.' They stumble because they disobey the message--which is also what they were destined for.
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light."
Building a Spiritual House
From ancient Biblical times until now, angels have been circling the earth ascending and descending from Heaven's gates, building a spiritual house connecting mankind to the eternal purposes of God's Kingdom. Family trees and genealogies often repeat cycles and journey along the same paths to reach destiny. Abraham's family lineage demonstrates this genealogical repetition.
By faith the patriarch Abram, later to be renamed Abraham, left Ur, his father's house. He pitched his tent near Luz, east of Bethel, beginning the process of establishing the house of God. By faith he sent his servant to Padan Aram to find a bride for his son Isaac. Later, Isaac's son, Jacob, fled to Padan Aram in his distress and pain, to avoid Esau's rage. There, Jacob dwelt with Laban and entered into covenant with Leah and Rachel.
Genesis 28:11-19 says, "...Taking one of the stones there, he (Jacob) put it under his head and lay down to sleep. He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to Heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. There above it stood the LORD, and He said: 'I am the LORD, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying.
Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring. I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back (full cycle) to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.'
When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, 'Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware of it.' He was afraid and said, 'How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of Heaven!
Early the next morning Jacob took the stone he had placed under his head and set it up as a pillar and poured oil on top of it (marking the place where God has spoken to the Israel in him). He called that place Bethel (House of God), though the city used to be called Luz (almond tree)."
Twenty years later, Jacob returns full circle to El Bethel, his place of fleeing and distress, where God had revealed Himself earlier. His family by this time has been purified of idols. Heaven opens again and Jacob, now as Israel, encounters the voice of God. Jacob completed his prophetic cycle of life and is resurrected as Israel who begins to possess his promises (see Genesis 35:1-15 and 32:28). God's word accomplished its creative purposes releasing a father of a great nation from the heart of a deceiver (see Isaiah 55:11).
The Tree Dream
Another cycle of life can be seen when God invaded King Nebuchadnezzar's tree dream. The watchers decreed a seven-year period of correction that was about to befall him. Daniel advised the King to repent by acknowledging God's sovereignty over the kingdoms of men, renouncing his sin and wickedness, doing right and showing kindness to the oppressed to continue in prosperity.
Daniel 4:23-25 says, "You, O king, saw a messenger, a holy one, coming down from Heaven and saying, 'Cut down the tree and destroy it, but leave the stump, bound with iron and bronze, in the grass of the field, while its roots remain in the ground. Let him be drenched with the dew of Heaven; let him live like the wild animals, until seven times pass by... until you acknowledge that the Most High is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and gives them to anyone He wishes.'"
As righteous, majestic oaks planted by the River of God we will display His splendor. As living stones full of God's love we will reflect the fullness of His Spirit and power in the sevenfold anointings, releasing the creative realm.
This year, Psalms 100-107 are highlighted by the Holy Spirit to bring strategic keys for closure to many of the processes that began in our lives seven years ago. How many of you want to qualify to live, move, and operate in great supernatural power? Jesus qualified for power during His wilderness season of testing by using "it is written" as a weapon. Hosea 2:14-15 says, "Therefore I am now going to allure her; will lead her into the desert and speak tenderly to her. There I will give her back her vineyards, and will make the Valley of Achor, a door of hope."
An Abundant Cycle of Rain
For several years rain has fallen outside during our meetings. In March, 2007, we conducted a healing encounter meeting at Bethel Assembly of God, in Tulare, California. The sun shone brightly outside, while inside healing angels were released and two clouds rained on the people within the sanctuary.
Deuteronomy 11:11-14 says, "But the land you are crossing the Jordan to take possession of is a land of mountains and valleys that drinks rain from Heaven. It is a land the LORD your God cares for; the eyes of the LORD your God are continually on it from the beginning of the year to its end.
So if you faithfully obey the commands I am giving you today--to love the LORD your God and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul--then I will send rain on your land in its season, both autumn and spring rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and oil."
The abundant cycle of rain has been a sign that the desert drought has ended and our vineyards will multiply, bringing forth restored hope. "Rain" indicates "spiritual teachings, refreshing, cleansing, and an outpouring" of the Spirit and Word that is spreading profusely.
The New Thing
God began a new cycle and launched the "New Thing" in September, the Hebrew year 5768 (2007), which numerically represents the "full circle of life." Those that embrace the work of the Cross will abound in the spiritual strength of Christ demonstrated in the "New Creation" man. Those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. The whole creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. As the eyes of our hearts are enlightened, we will know the hope of our callings, and those who believe will manifest incomparable great power through love. God is love. We are called to do everything in love. The man who loves God is known by God. Love is the catalyst to the creative realm of miracles.
God is preparing enlightened teachers that will disclose revelation of the Kingdom and present the Word of God in its fullness, unlocking the mysteries that have been kept hidden for ages and generations. The fullness of Christ in us--the hope of glory--will be revealed as His purifying Light shines through the Bride who has made herself ready.
Colossians 2:9-12 says, "For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority. In Him you were also circumcised, in the putting off of the sinful nature, not with a circumcision done by the hands of men but with the circumcision done by Christ, having been buried with Him in baptism and raised with Him through your faith in the power of God, who raised Him from the dead."
God raised King Hezekiah from a sentence of death and granted him fifteen more years of life to equip the next generation. Fifteen is the number of divine grace, reprieve, deliverance from death, rest, mercy, and the Bride of Christ. Hezekiah, in his pride and presumption, unwittingly displayed all his wealth, broadcasted his secrets, and opened the treasuries of his kingdom to Babylon, an enemy that greedily swept in and stole.
Hezekiah's self-centered rule left his emasculated children barren as enslaved eunuchs. Nothing was handed down to the next generation; no power, no buildings, no treasury, or gifts. Even their fruitfulness and ability to reproduce was taken from them by the world. God is looking for leaders who will give their lives to prepare the next generation to love, praise, rule, and reign in the righteousness of the Kingdom.
Hidden Mysteries
In God's wisdom, He gradually reveals the unknown, hidden mysteries as we are prepared to seek His heart and mature in our understanding. Luke 12:2 says, "There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known." He creates a strong foundation of unified faith and knowledge of Jesus, enabling increased measures of spiritual maturity within our hearts. The knowledge of the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven has been given to the believer in abundance. Earthly circumstances cannot limit eternal spiritual beings that have entered into faith. Man does not live on bread alone, but by the creative, proceeding word from the mouth of God.
Job 22:27-30 says, "You will pray to Him, and He will hear you, and you will fulfill your vows. What you decide on will be done, and light will shine on your ways. When men are brought low and you say, 'Lift them up!' then He will save the downcast. He will deliver even one who is not innocent, who will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands."
In time and space there are dimensions of the past that try to imprison and define us. The present dimensions try to limit and contain us, while the future calls us to operate in eternity where there are no limits prohibiting us from becoming who we are destined to be in Christ.
As eternal beings we will continue to evolve throughout the eons of time into the expanses of eternity, transforming into His image from glory to glory.

He is near!

2007-10-04T07:23:00.000-07:00

Good Morning Everyone :)

God is the lifter of our heads and more than that, sometimes it feels like we struggle to
feel his prescence, however, I really think that struggle is just a thought, like a lie the
devil has planted, remember, God Loves You! He is near! Let not your Heart be troubled, everytime that thought or a thought you know you should not have comes, just throw
that ball back into the Kings Court! He has your back, believe me, I keep on keepin' on, I know
that you can too!

God Bless and Enjoy this reading!
Kristy

P.S.

I had quite a conversation with someone about allah and Jehovah, I had just learned recently
that Allah is NOT our Jehovah! He is a False God! Our Jehovah is God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob! So our God is not, I repeat not Allah!

There is only one way to the Father thru the Son, Jesus, if Jesus is Your Lord and Saviour, then Yes and AMEN! If not, just say a prayer, Jesus, come into my Heart, set me Free, show me your Love, in Jesus Name! Now my Friend, YES!

You Are Free, for who the Son (Jesus) sets Free is Free Indeed!

Ching Co:
"DARKEST BEFORE DAWN: A Message for God's Children"
Ching Co was one of our first contributing writers when the ElijahList began and she currently lives in the Philippines. Ching writes about what many in the Body of Christ have been experiencing in these days--intensified battle! It is a reminder that our ways are not His ways and, of course, God always has a much bigger plan and purpose than what we can "see" and think! This word causes us to lean on God's confirming and reassuring words in Proverbs 3: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding."
It is not over--for great breakthrough is happening in the Heavenlies as we speak!
Blessings,
Steve Shultz Founder, ElijahList and ElijahRain magazine http://www.elijahlist.com
Intensified Battle Going On
"Then when Herod saw that he had been tricked by the magi, he became very enraged, and sent and slew all the male children who were in Bethlehem and all its vicinity, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the magi." Matthew 2:16
In the days succeeding Jesus' birth, King Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the magi. He was furious and gave orders to kill all the boys who were two years old and under in Bethlehem and its vicinity, with the intention of stopping Jesus' destiny from being fulfilled.
So the same is happening today.
Satan, sensing that God is planning out something GREAT AND AWESOME is bent on stopping the realization of this great event. Just like Herod, he is on a rampage and is now unleashing his blind rage against God's people.
Our Heavenly Father is reminding us today NOT TO FOCUS ON WHAT IS SEEN. There is a great spiritual Heavenly battle going on and we who are God's warriors and watchmen are in the forefront of this battle. Just like during the times of Job, there is a greater drama unfolding in the Heavenly realm and just as God allowed Job to be tested, so we, His children, have been tested in the same measure.
What To Expect
God's children may experience different spheres of attacks and we may be affected on different levels and in different manners. Some who used to be active in ministry, but because of various circumstances happening in your midst (change of job, physical ailments, family troubles, financial difficulties), may find themselves having to stop doing what they love most, and at times will find themselves holding an empty bag, so to speak.
Others may experience great emotional attack. In the past, you have been moving in such strong anointing and now you may feel empty, detached, uncertain, and wonder if something is wrong with you and wonder if God has removed His protection from over your life.
What His children will experience will parallel what Job had experienced in his time. The area of attack and the intensity of the attack will be such that outwardly, it will appear to be very devastating to the affected ones.
This Is Not the End!
Our Heavenly Father is reminding us today that this is not the end. In fact, compared to the degree of suffering that we have been facing today, the blessing that He is preparing for us is FAR GREATER IN MAGNITUDE AND INTENSITY. This is the reason why the enemy is panicking and unleashing his wrath in such manner and intensity as well.
Beware Of the Spirit of Condemnation
This is the season to fix our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith. He is faithful and He will not allow us to be tested beyond what we can bear. We must be careful not to pass judgment and to not make conclusions based on outward appearances. Things will not be as they seem.
Those suffering the most today are not "deserted children," but are the "favored beloved" of the Most High. For truly to whom much is given, much too will be required. And as people of God, when we see others suffering greatly, we are to ask for great wisdom and discernment on how to comfort each other.
We must be aware of the enemy's tactics this season--he will be TWISTING the meaning of much of what we hear and see from one another.
Those believers who are experiencing the fullness of God's blessings in this season must be extra careful with their words, as most times instead of bringing comfort to the suffering ones, it can cause them to feel more insecure, unsure, and even depressed, especially when hearing the words, "You need to have more faith," or "Just believe, etc. "
We must be careful not to act like Job's friends. Their well-meaning exhortation of "the causes of Job's difficulties" were useless then in ministering to Job.
The Weapons of Our Warfare--HONESTY, YIELDING and SURRENDER
Jericho was conquered not by physical fighting, but by silence and praise. So today, the weapons of our warfare will also be nontraditional.
As we struggle through our difficult situations (questions, negative thoughts and feelings that overwhelm us mentally, spiritually and physically, and grasp at why these things are happening to us, trying to make sense of what God is wanting to teach us)--our Loving Wonderful Heavenly Father is reminding us today that HE KNOWS WHAT WE ARE GOING THROUGH (see Psalm 139).
BE HONEST WITH OUR FEELINGS TO HIM. We need not be afraid to verbalize and express all of our negative emotions (doubts, anxieties, disappointments, questions, anger, frustrations, jealous feelings, etc.). Reading through the Book of Psalms, we can see how God's suffering saints of old had struggles with the same emotions and they were so open in expressing these feelings to God. We need to do the same today.
LETTING GO. We are to daily and continually practice the art of yielding and surrender. As these burdens overwhelm us, let us consciously learn to "pass the ball" back to God. It is not an easy task sometimes to learn and relearn to "live one day at a time."
Beyond What We can Imagine or Perceive
Our Father's message to us today:
"My child, I know what's happening. I know that 'you knew' that I am in control. I know in this season, you don't feel anything, yet your heart continues to trust in Me. I know about all these things and I Am pleased with you.
Don't let the enemy deceive you. He will make you feel unimportant, insignificant, useless, weak, and of no use to Me. But THIS IS FAR FROM THE TRUTH.
Where you are standing now, many times seemingly in the valley of the shadow of death--is where YOU ARE THE STRONGEST. Just like My Son Jesus when He struggled in the garden of Gethsemane, where His sweat became droplets of blood--that was His moment of triumph. So the same is happening to you, today.
Even as you struggle daily to just stay afloat, to just keep things together, to just stay alive--great breakthrough is happening in the Heavenly realm. Your life has become My most powerful weapon of breaking through the spiritual darkness of these times.
So be strong and be of good courage, your labor will not be in vain. I am taking your every sigh, every drop of your tears, and I am using them as powerful weapons to break down the spiritual walls of the enemy. Only in eternity will you fully grasp and see the fullness of your labor and surrender.
I love you dearly, precious one, and I have not forgotten you...remember this, and carve this once again in your hearts and minds today."

How Pursuing God Trumps thePursuit of Riches – Every time!7 Ancient Paths to Wealth, Wisdom & the Wonder of God(The RainCatcher’s Secret)
The richest and wisest man that ever lived, Solomon, warns us in Proverbs 23:5 “Will you set your eyes upon that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.” Who are we to think we know better? If you are still pursuing riches, you have come to the wrong place - unless you are wanting to change.
My Focus Was Wrong…I spent too many years believing Matthew 6:33 (”Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you.”) but practicing the pursuit of riches. I would read the Scriptures looking for His wisdom, but at the end of the day, I had spent all my time pursuing the things He promised to add to my life instead of letting Him do the adding. What was sad is that I didn’t realize I was doing that until I took a financial hit on our Guatemala trip and was left with large bills and zero cash reserves. (God knows how to get your attention!)
With no options open to me, I began to pursue God like never before and during that time, He revealed much to me from the wealth of His Word. Perhaps the most impacting for me was the whole idea of pursuing God much like the children of Israel followed the cloud in the wilderness. As long as they followed the cloud, they had provision enough.
It was then that I saw it! The Tabernacle of Moses was not only a picture of salvation through Christ, but the lessons modeled in the Outer Court, Inner Court and Holy of Holies could be applied powerfully to every area of life, including business! Let me explain a bit…
Have You Discovered The Power of the Threefold Blessing?
“Have not I written to you excellent things in counsels and knowledge, that I might make you know the certainty of the words of truth; that you might answer the words of truth to them that send unto you?”
The word translated “excellent” is the Hebrew word “shaliysh” or “threefold”. God reveals many truths in threefold expressions or in three levels and they correspond with the threefold progression found in the Tabernacle of Moses. Take a look at just a few examples…

natural light
candle light
supernatural light
passover
pentecost
tabernacles
Holy Spirit
Son
Father
little children
young men
fathers
way
truth
life
knowledge
wisdom

milk of the word
bread of the word
meat of the word
30-fold
60-fold
100-fold

mind of Christ
body
soul
spirit
faith
hope
love
thanksgiving
praise
worship
justification
sanctification
glorification
pursue
overtake
recover all
prophet
priest
king
Level OneThe threefold blessing begins with lessons learned in the Outer Court at the altar where we learn six sacrifices essential for building character. Without character we cannot be trusted with wealth. “If we cannot be trusted with unrighteous mammon, who will trust us with true riches?” (Luke 16:11) With character we must add competence. At the brass wash basin, we discover seven areas of preparation necessary for developing competence and handling responsibility. Without preparation, we miss our opportunities.
Level TwoThe threefold blessing gets strategic and is revelational in nature. Gleaning from the golden lampstand, the bread and the altar of incense, you will learn how to settle your calling, develop a plan and pray with precision and authority to fulfill your calling.
Level ThreeThe threefold blessing is derived from the ark of the covenant which was carried into battle and was covered with a seat of mercy. This is the level of the supernatural. Whereas the outer court was illuminated by natural light and speaks of the thirty fold increase and the inner court was illuminated by candle light and speaks of the sixty-fold increase available by revelation, the Holy of Holies was illuminated by the presence of God and speaks of the 100-fold increase. Stepping into this realm requires faith and perseverance through the battles. In these last two CDs you will learn the Seven Laws of Faith as modeled by the mustard seed and the seven battles you must win as revealed in the book of Hebrews.
To Say These Lessons Have Helped me Greatlyin Business Would be a Vast Understatement.The Outer Court lessons taught me about systems, diligence and the painful process of character development without which I could not be trusted with more. The Inner Court lessons gave me great strategies for business based on the illumination of the Holy Spirit upon the Word of God. It was here that I learned the Negotiating Secrets of the Apostle Paul and the Moses Questioning Strategy. It was here I learned a marketing strategy borrowed from Isaiah. The returns have been immeasurable!
The battles fought and won based on lessons learned from the Holy of Holies will knock your socks off! You will hear how myself and others have stepped into that highest of levels and watched God perform the miraculous. In one case, drawing hundreds of seminar participants to an event that looked doomed to fail while I simply lay on the floor and worshiped God.
Now here comes the sensitive part…Every once in a while, people take issue with our selling of this valuable information. They believe we should offer it for free, that you shouldn’t sell the Word of God, etc. Here’s the truth… God gives His Word freely, but the printer charges for the ink and paper. With CDs we not only have duplication costs and graphics costs and packaging costs and storage costs, but we also have administrative costs, website costs, email costs, etc. So while it is absolutely necessary to be reimbursed for our labor (the laborer is worthy of his hire), we are going to make you an incredible offer you won’t want to refuse.
The First 500 Sets Free -- Here's How…This series consists of seven hours of audio CD coaching, PLUS a full PowerPoint presentation on CD. If we charged what it was worth, it would literally be in the thousands of dollars. I know because I have paid thousands of dollars for information products in the past and this is so much better! Now I am going to do something we have never done before and don’t know if we will ever repeat… I AM GOING TO GIVE AWAY 500 SETS OF THESE CDS to the first 500 folks to order the downloadable version in Option 1 or 2 below.

Julie A. Smith:
"NOTHING CAN ESCAPE THE GOODNESS OF THE LORD. HE'S THE LIGHT THAT NEVER ENDS!"
Intro from Steve Shultz:
Julie has been editor of what we send out each day (as far as prophetic words) for quite some time now.
We had her before, and then after a brief hiatus, we were able to woo her back.
Though her experience has been in editing for years, that title is almost a "less than" title. You see, she is also a "prophetic seer" and I rely on her and several others to help me discern words that come our way. (No pressure there!)
So when she wrote this, I wanted to see it published and asked her if we could.
Fall (or autumn) is upon us. This is a great word from the Lord through Julie Smith about this upcoming season.
Be encouraged as you read it. That's what God does through this ministry--encourage the many, not just the few.
And don't forget to pass it along to your friends. You have our permission.
Blessings,
Steve Shultz Founder, ElijahList and ElijahRain magazine Email: www.elijahlist.net
This is a time for the maturity of many of God's miraculous plans to be birthed and to come forth.
Before the start of this new season, I was taken into a couple of visions revealing the upcoming autumn days filled with the goodness of the Lord. For me, autumn is a season to reflect on the goodness of the Lord as we watch the natural transformation into the fall colors of the great outdoors. Although it's a transition from the hot, long days of summer to the cool, crisp, shorter days of fall, the brilliant colors of autumn make up for the shorter days. And this is especially true living in the beauty of the Pacific Northwest, where I live. The word autumn means: a time of full maturity and the season of the year when leaves change color, fall and fruits ripen, and a time when wine grapes are usually harvested from the vineyard.
The Goodness of the Lord
Last week, I had a vision of a huge tornado coming. This tornado was the Lord, Himself, and it was a tornado filled with the goodness of the Lord. I saw this tornado do many, many things as nothing could escape its path. It uprooted and replanted. It moved people from where they were to where they needed to be. It was moving so fast and furious, it was hard for me to comprehend all that it was doing. It was completely changing and rearranging people, places, situations and circumstances. It was moving EVERYTHING! Then I heard these words, "Nothing can escape the goodness of the Lord."
The next day, I had a vision of a Tsunami. This was a Tsunami of the miraculous. As this huge wave came roaring into the shoreline, I saw it completely cover everything. It first of course roared into the beach line, then it went into the city and it completely covered the tallest buildings in the city. Everything was underwater. God told me that it was the miraculous coming in so strong and again, it would overtake everything in its path.
As I saw the deep waters rushing in, I heard the Lord say, "It's the miraculous coming in; nothing will be able to escape the miraculous. A Tsunami of the miraculous is rushing in." My understanding of it was that we are going to be hit hard and suddenly with many, many miracles. And again, I heard these words, "Nothing can escape the goodness of the Lord."
As I said, I can't begin to comprehend this extraordinary and profound movement of God that is about to happen. It was too profound for my eyes to see and my mind to take in. Both the tornado and the tsunami were filled with the goodness of the Lord and the miraculous breakthroughs we've all been waiting for. This is a time for the maturity of many of God's miraculous plans to be birthed and to come forth.
Some of us are in situations and circumstances that look absolutely impossible to move. And many of us have been waiting for the promises of the Lord that only He can cause to happen. In fact, He's shown us incomprehensible hopes and dreams that have no way of happening, except that the miraculous of God hit us like a spiritual tornado and a tsunami. We were never even supposed to do anything to make these promises happen, because God WANTS to do it. He's the One who wants to come in where there could be no humanly way possible.
The Light that Never Ends
The morning after the Tsunami vision, I was in a half awake/sleep dream state and found myself in a place called "Disney Land." It looked like a gigantic romper room that had two colors--orange and yellow that covered every square inch of the room from floor to ceiling. The colors were intertwined with each other, crossing over each other and appeared like rays of sunlight. Then I noticed on one end of the room was a playground. I saw the play equipment with the pool of balls you can swim in (the ball pit) and I was running towards it with the biggest smile on my face. Then God said these words as I woke up, "I'm the Light that never ends."
Orange is known as a "harvest" color or one of autumn. It is also defined as the color of fire and indicates that one is tried and proven and signifies boldness, intimacy and companionship with God. The color yellow signifies enlightenment, golden, revelation and spiritual insight gained; and my favorite meaning of yellow is--celebration and joy; renewal and hope.
I was full of celebration and joy that morning I awoke from Disney Land! Much is heading our way in this miraculous autumn season! It is going to be a season of much restoration and hope as only the miraculous hand of God can come in and completely change and renew our lives, bringing new hope and joy to our spirits, while taking us to deeper places of companionship with Him. It's a time to play and it's a time for our harvest!
After these encounters, I keep singing this song over and over again, and it still won't stop playing in my head:
Nothing can escape the goodness of the Lord.He's the Light that never ends.He's the Light that never ends.Nothing can escape the goodness of the Lord.He's the Light that never ends.He's the Light that never ends!
As we watch the great transformation of autumn colors, let us remember that neither we nor the changing seasons can escape the goodness of the Lord. And it doesn't matter how dark or impossible a situation may be, because He's the Light that never ends!
The time of hard labor in past seasons is over, it's time for the maturity and harvest of the ripened fall fruit, changing colors and new wine! Be encouraged for the miraculous overtaking you this autumn with the Goodness of the Lord!!!!

KIM CLEMENT:
'Something unusual, it's never ever happened before—in the month of October!' And 'Do Not Fear Iran'
"The cherry on the cake is October, and what could not happen--has to happen."
September 1, 2007—San Jose, California
God says, "This is a season of receiving." There was a time when it was not a time to receive, but God says, "Now is a season of receiving, now is a season of restoration. Now is a season to gather. Now is the season to bring in, now is the season to rejoice, now is the season of joy."
The Spirit of God says, "Hear the words that come from My heart. America has endured much agony and much pain. This nation has caused life to come even though death may call." Now God says, "You are about to enter a season of peace, as I have said before, but I shall begin with My people. It is the end of tears. It is the end of war. It is the end of a season and now grace has begun. Understand when I say it is your time, then it is your time," says the Lord.
When I landed in San Jose, God said, "February 2008 is a huge month of miracles--specifically designed for this house and the people in this city and the surrounding areas."
"For the month of October will bring about things in this nation politically. Now I will, once again, shake this nation and bring your enemies out one-by-one, so that you may rejoice in your Thanksgiving and so you may rejoice and sing, 'Joy To The World' over your Christmas. That we may say, 'We Wish You a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.'"
God says, "One of the greatest years is about to be bestowed upon you, and therefore, I am preparing you now and giving you a glimpse of it. Therefore, do not tolerate anything that contradicts what I have spoken. The Heavens have opened up, gold shall appear in the form of a faith that you have never had before. Unusual miracles shall take place. Get yourselves ready and prepare yourselves, for even as I have spoken it and you have heard it, it shall surely take place and you shall rejoice greatly," says the Lord.
September 2, 2007—San Jose, California
"I will shake the earth. The five powers that have tried to control My people are being shaken now," says the Spirit of God. "You may wonder what it is. I'm giving them to you--what the enemy stole at the turn of the century. Azusa, this they called the revival of the beginning of the last century." Now God says, "A greater than Azusa revival, greater than any century has ever delivered because I am bringing down the five powerful forces and they will never control My people again."
"I will come into your home over the season that they call My birthday, nevertheless, I will come into your house and what you have lost in 2007, I will give back to you in 2008," says the Spirit of the Living God.
September 7, 2007—Albany, Oregon
"I know there's a time. Now is the season for restoration in your homes. Now is the time to gather together in the season you give thanks. You will say Thanksgiving was never quite like this. What I'm about to do is show My face to the entire human race."
God says, "This is a season and a time where it shall be proclaimed and said about you, 'Your ventures, your business, your ministry—this has never ever happened before.' Governments and councils will say, 'We've never done this before, this has never happened before.' This is the epitome of favor," says the Lord, "where governments, societies, cultures and businesses dictate, and yet, they will come to you and say, 'This has never ever happened before.'" You've got the favor of the Lord and God says rejoice in this great favor.
There are wells that are being stopped up--they've been closed. God said, "They said to him (the son), 'These may have been dug by Abraham, but now they belong to us.'" Therefore, God says, "Will you do as my servant of old did? Dig a new well, let them keep their wells." God said, "There is a new fountain of life that comes from a well that has been dug. It has been dug by the praise and the proclamation of the people of God. 'Spring up O well, Spring up O well,' they sang to it, and the nobles and the princes--they dug, and as they dug, so the water came forth. Sing to this well."
For the Spirit of God says, "Hear this, as I speak from My precious Oregon." God says, "Hear these words again. There is a well of life and in it contains five graces." I've spoken of these before, out of this fountain--out of this well that has been dug over these years by the prophetic people as they have sung to something that seemed like nothing, even like Moses who struck the rock and it seemed like nothing. The reason water came forth was that he saw the water in the rock. God said, "The reason water came from a well that had nothing in it was because they saw the water. Where are the seers of this day that would see something in nothing?"
God says, "Fear not, for all the wells that have been captured and taken by the religious system--let them keep it for now, for you have dug a brand new well and in that comes the healing fountain." God said, "Miracles as the Body of Christ has never ever seen." The Spirit of God said, "Do not say, 'We've heard this before.' This is as a result of the pioneers of the prophetic that have dug and dug and dug, and said, 'Even though we have lost ourselves, we will continue prophesying to the well; we will continue prophesying, 'Spring Up O well,' even though there is nothing.' The princes and the nobles, the prophets and the apostles--they dug and they dug, and the people watched as they sang. "
God said, "Now the well must spring up. It must bring forth the most miraculous signs and wonders that shall appear. Even as I have said this to you in this place, it will go on for weeks and weeks and weeks and it shall not stop. I have begun something called, 'Resurrection,' and it can not be stopped," says the Lord.
"I shall bring it into science, scientific discoveries in these next few months and years. Where they will say, 'We cannot look away from it. We have again proven that God exists (they will say the various places). They will say, 'We've tried to disprove God and we have found Him again.'" God says, "Watch Me, as I show My face to the entire human race. They've taken the Internet. They've taken all they can to hurt My people, My children, little kids. Watch how I turn it around on the Internet and show My face."
September 8, 2007—Albany, Oregon
The Spirit of God says, "Some of you have said, 'We have waited for too long.' And some of you have said, 'This cannot be possible, that in a time of great ingratitude, in a time of where there is very little praise on the lips of the citizens.'" But God said, "This is how I work. Where there is a rock, I will bring water forth. Where there is an impossible situation, I will thrive. Do you want a testimony?" God says, "Do you want a testimony? Then prepare yourself, because I am preparing a testimony to be born in its time--and now is the time. Now is the time!"
For the Spirit of God said, "Is it not becoming for Me to receive adoration and praise from the lips of those that have beheld My glory and My power? This is a strange thing that unbelief would settle into the nests of the eagles so easily," but God said, "I am shaking the nests, so that the little eaglets can come forth. Yes I am." For the Spirit of God said, "Even in this nation where people have looked upon you and despised you, I have brought vindication. I have brought righteousness. Now the promise that I have given to you, you don't have to wait for it anymore. Your tomorrow has arrived and become your present. Do not reject it, embrace it, rejoice in it, for a testimony is about to be born in time," says the Lord.
The Spirit of God says, "A testimony is about to be born in its time. What is this that I am saying? You are a testimony about to be born in its time. You are a testimony about to be born in its time. Now is the time. Something unusual, it's never ever happened before—in the month of October!"
"In the month of October, there will be the most unusual favor. The cherry on the cake is October, and what could not happen--has to happen. The door that was locked to you must be unlocked. The retardation that has taken place on your divine promise will suddenly accelerate. This has been promised to us. In the month of October, because of the favor, and because of the revelations and because of the things that are going to unfold, even in the United States of America, causing your Thanksgiving to be one of the most thankful Thanksgivings."
"Because of the disruption of political powers, the disruption of a force that has held strong in Iran, in Iran," and God says, "I will spite the devil. I will spite the devil and instead of blowing up and destroying as many wish, Iran—I will raise up hundreds of thousands of Christians amongst the young people in the schools, in the colleges, in the mosques. Young men and women—I will raise from within." For God says, "Why would I do it any other way? Wrong came down because of what happened from within." And God says, "Do not fear Iran. Do not fear what they are trying to do for China, oddly enough, will stand a firm ground." And God said, "America shall say, 'We never dreamed that China would stand for a season in this crisis.'"
For God said, "There is a crisis about to happen, but quickly and swiftly shall it be placed under your feet." And God says, "And do not despise the Bush, your President too soon--for there shall be a massive vindication. And because of a certain thing that shall arise and a diplomacy that shall take place, there shall be a peace that America never dreamed would happen. Look to who were your enemies, and they shall stand as your friends for a season," says the Spirit of God. Something unusual!
Something unusual, it's never ever happened before.

John Meyer:
"THE GLORIOUS SOUND OF HARMONY IN RIGHTLY ALIGNED RELATIONSHIPS"
"There is a beautiful fragrance that flows when two or more can actually unite together in God's Spirit--to the point where Kingdom advancements have results that last."
Practically everyone I know and everyone on this planet enjoys some sort of calming music or a favorite love song. Even the "tough guy" will secretly hum a love tune while no one is around. We have gone to high school proms, walked through the halls of elegant hotels and have sat down to enjoy a high-priced meal at a fancy restaurant, all to the tune of something melodic and soothing, playing in our ear.
We have been involved with or have been in weddings throughout the years and have shed a tear or two to the sounds of instruments playing the "wedding song" in the ceremony. Down through the centuries, we have been ushered into the Presence of the Lord through anointed worship music, and when we have reached a certain level of unity of heart, whether it was many people gathered together or with just one, His Presence would come.
Who doesn't enjoy the freedom and peace found in such a place? An instrumental or a slow song, bringing its calming effects into the midst of our storm. Melodies playing in our ear gives us a moment in time to slow down a little, and reflect back on an event that has brought about something special into our lives no matter how small or large it may have been. It touches us deep within our soul like nothing else we could experience in the way of melody.
There is something so very special about a few close friends gathering together and listening to a pick hitting the strings of an acoustical guitar or going out together for a quiet night of fine dining with instrumental music filling the air. How about the expectancy or excitement of entering into a time of real worship before the Lord and you just know that something wonderful is going to take place either in your own heart or in that particular moment of time. You know that the Lord's voice, His still small voice, will be there to give comfort and instruction where it is needed.
The Time is Here for Rightly Aligned Relationships
The time is upon us in which God is leading us to join together with rightly aligned relationships to show the world what this harmony will all sound like. It's not as if God didn't want this all along, but the fragmentation in this time is beginning to be brought back together in His order. The "fresh oil" of His unity and harmony with key relationships is upon us, along with the grace that is needed to do this. Hearts that have ears to hear are bursting with a love for others in relationship and are seeking right alignments with those in whom God will connect.
There is a geographical shift for some, and for others, there will be a more frequent and closer connection with the relationships God is putting together and has put together already. It will not be a casual "let's get together" joining of what we have been used to, because some will resent this type of getting together. They know what "let's get together" means by some, it's a half-hearted gesture from someone who is busy and tries to ease the pressure of the moment for a "courtesy" joining. No, this will be a true joining of individuals in "one accord" for the times we are entering into, with the love that will compel them to "want to." It is a fresh joining with His "fresh oil" and harmony of the Word and Spirit--in Love.
The Harmony of the Oil--The Signs of "Fresh Oil" Upon Us
When we are talking about true unity, we are talking about harmony with God's Spirit and the Word, as we all know. There is no other unity that will last. It is the "fresh oil" of this uniting that plays a Heavenly love song for each other and for the world. It is the fragrant aroma that draws others in to partake of the blessing that lasts forever. It refreshes the soul and helps to make one whole.
Psalm 133:1-3 is a song for the ascent to Jerusalem and a psalm of David, "How wonderful it is, how pleasant, when brothers live together in harmony! For harmony is as precious as the fragrant anointing oil that was poured over Aaron's head, that ran down his beard and onto the border of his robe. Harmony is as refreshing as the dew from Mount Hermon that falls on the mountains of Zion. And the LORD has pronounced His blessing, even life forevermore."
When oil is poured on the head, it is symbolizing someone who is being anointed and set apart for holy work. The fragrance is that of the oil itself and of God's Spirit moving in that anointing. There is a beautiful fragrance that flows when two or more can actually unite together in God's Spirit--to the point where Kingdom advancements have results that last.
God is saying to us that He is bringing the "fresh oil" in Divine relationships and we will receive it where He is forming those relationships. Will we allow it to permeate us and cover each others faults, arguments, disagreements, hardships and "issues"? If we do, then the sweet fragrance will flow out to all who are watching and they will actually want what we have. But we have to allow it to transform us in Love--without going our separate ways when something uncomfortable rises.
The term yitshar "fresh oil," occurs in the Word most frequently in parallel with "new wine, " referring to the fresh olive oil produce of the land--the stores of which were a sign of the Lord's blessing of prosperity (2 Chronicles 32:28; Jeremiah 31:12; Hosea 2:8, 22; Joel 2:19, 24), while the loss or lack of it was a sign of His judgment (Deuteronomy 28:51; Joel 1:10; Haggai 1:11). The first fruits or tithe of "fresh oil" went to the priests and Levites.
Olive trees took a long time to grow and mature, but they also lasted for hundreds of years. Therefore, a good oil supply was a sign of stability and prosperity (Deuteronomy 8:8; 33:24; 2 Kings 20:13; Psalm 92:10; Proverbs 21:20; Isaiah 39:2; Joel 2:19, 24). The lack of oil was a sign of the curse of God and agricultural disaster (Deuteronomy 28:40; Joel 1:10).
As I said above, "A good oil supply was a sign of stability and prosperity"--I believe this is worth repeating. Where the oil of the Lord is, there is stability and every need met. God is forming relationships that will be long-standing to weather any storm and to meet every need in the time of crisis. Many of us have been in the "forge" of the Lord and have come to a point in our walk that has made us able to walk with others through their storms. We are now ready and able to go through storms with others to help comfort and stabilize them with their emotions when difficulty arises. This makes us able to walk the distance with others without allowing offenses to drive each other away. We are receiving a "fresh oil" of the Lord to have the staying power for the times ahead.
Romans 12:16, "Live in harmony with each other. Don't try to act important, but enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don't think you know it all!"
Some have acted important through spiritual pride and didn't know how to relate with ordinary people, but now, however, the realization has come. Many have gone through the surgery of refinement and have realized what they thought they knew, was based in part, in arrogance and pride. But now, individuals will learn together and will not "think they know it all." Our loving relationships will be based on a fragrant, freshness of the Spirit and the Word. We must have genuine and real relationships with one another so that those outside of the Kingdom can look and say, "Now that is real Love and I need that!"
Romans 14:17-19, "For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink, but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. If you serve Christ with this attitude, you will please God. And other people will approve of you, too. So then, let us aim for harmony in the Church and try to build each other up."
With "One Mind"
Homothumadon is a unique Greek word meaning: with one mind, with one accord; with one passion. Its meanings in the Book of Acts helps us understand the uniqueness of the Christian community. Homothumadon is a compound of two words meaning to "rush along" and "in unison." The image is almost musical; a number of notes are sounded which, while different, harmonize in pitch and tone. As the instruments of a great concert under the direction of a concert master, so the Holy Spirit blends together the lives of the members of Christ's Church.
It's the harmonizing of the whole Body flowing in their own notes, yet harmonizing as one. It is the sound that Heaven's orchestra makes--it's one of real Love. Being in one mind means being in one Love; it's all about the Love that unites us in a devotion that will last.
Acts 1:14, "These all with one mind were continually devoting themselves to prayer, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers."
The account clearly describes their praying as being "with one mind," or as sometimes translated, "with one accord." The Greek word behind this expression is a fascinating word: homothumadon. It simply refers to sharing the same passion, which has to do with zeal and desire. The English word "enthusiasm" is built on the same word group as homothumadon.
1 Corinthians 1:10, "Now, dear brothers and sisters, I appeal to you by the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ to stop arguing among yourselves. Let there be real harmony so there won't be divisions in the Church. I plead with you to be of one mind, united in thought and purpose."
Paul is pleading with the Church of Corinth to stop the selfishness, forgive each other, and play the song the world has been waiting for! We have to take on the Heart of the Father in forgiveness and grace. Aren't you glad that God does not wipe us out the first or fortieth time we have sinned?
We have to see Him for who He is! He IS Love! Love presents discipline in a way that makes you want to run back into His arms and stop doing what you did before. That is how God is bringing relationships together now. He will enable us with the "fresh oil" of His Presence to see Him in a beautiful and harmonious way. He will play His Song of Love through us--for others to hear and be transformed by. He will have His Wedding Song played on that Day with a Bride who has been rehearsing it through relationship.
Blessings and Love,

September 10, 2007
Reeni Mederos:
"A NEW WAVE OF ENTREPRENEURIAL FIRE IS ABOUT TO HIT THE AMERICAN ECONOMY"
The Spirit of the Lord is brooding and hovering over the earth once again in a very unique and powerful way as we approach a new and different season of spiritual and economic harvest. This harvest will counteract the attempts of devastation against the American and global economy as God is releasing a new quickening in the Spirit and a shifting of hearts as we approach the year 2008. We will begin to see a rapid rise and explosion of entrepreneurial fire over the next 5 years extending and leveling out to about 10 years as fresh entrepreneurial anointing hits the marketplace with an unusual economic move of His Spirit.
The Lord is saying, "There are attacks the enemy is planning right now, but I am raising up a new standard of protection for this nation with tidal waves of offensive and defensive strategies that will overtake and consume every last economic enemy until they are buried and drowned underneath the tidal wave of the move of My Spirit. Get ready and position yourselves to receive a new wave of entrepreneurial fire that is about to hit the American economy."
There is now an urgent call and a war-cry from the heart and mind of God going forth into the spiritual wombs of His people--much like John the Baptist as he leaped in his mother's womb when Mary approached Elizabeth and her voice was heard with joy by the unborn child in Luke 1:39-44:
"Now at this time Mary arose and went in a hurry to the hill country, to a city of Judah, and entered the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. And she cried out with a loud voice and said, 'Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! And how has it happened to me, that the mother of my Lord would come to me? For behold, when the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy.'"
The Lord is now causing the heart of His people in this nation along with many other nations to leap for joy within the womb as they are individually and collectively giving birth to a new wave of spiritual and economic growth.
Entrepreneurial Fire is Not a Respecter of Persons
This move of God's Spirit is purposed to annihilate the debt and poverty of God's elect, resulting in greater national and global economic strength, especially coming from the small business sector. The intertwining of marketplace and prophetic anointing have joined and married together as one holy force of fire as the heart of God's people are supernaturally infused with keen levels of insight, foresight and prophetic precision into the future of God's economic wisdom, revelation and strategy of His heart. Turning the hearts of men and women alike, He will cause many current and new business ideas to explode producing millionaires by the thousands.
As the marketplace and prophetic anointing are being intertwined and married as one on a greater level, they will have separate purposes and accomplish twice as much than if not be combined for the end-time move of the Sprit of the Lord.
"The beginnings of the release of this new tidal wave of prophetic entrepreneurial fire has approached and is already being birthed within," says the Lord. "It will reach the most common to the most elite and is not a respecter of persons. If you are able to see it, you will be ignited and empowered to seize it."
A Transference of Wealth into the Hands of God's People
As there has been great spiritual and financial travail this year in the lives of many, so there is great birthing and rejoicing in the hearts of those that will hear and take heed to what the Spirit of the Lord is now saying and moving and leaping inside of them. There is a forerunning of a shifting of hearts from the pulpit to the marketplace. Pulpit ministry will become marketplace ministry and will converge into such a spiritual outpouring that it will prepare and strengthen America's economy over the coming years. Each year will build with strength and momentum for those who bear the call in their spiritual wombs to raise up, produce and reproduce in the marketplace.
The Lord says, "All the years of training in the church and training in the marketplace have not been in vain. A change of heart will move from the four walls of the church to combine with the marketplace outside the church to manifest and enforce the beginnings of the transference of wealth into the hands of My people--producing liberty to both the spiritually and financially deficient."
Prophetic Ingenuity from the Pulpit into the Marketplace
Ministry has become dull and lifeless for many, especially for those called to the pulpit. The Lord says, "I am not taking the pulpits out of place, I am simply shifting the heart of My people to cause a birthing outside of the pulpit and to transfer pulpit ministry into the marketplace."
You will find spiritual progression to be in the streets and within the businesses and inside the financial realms coupled with and accompanied by ministry, yet filled with increasing prophetic insight and foresight. God's army of prophetic entrepreneurs will speak forth phenomenal predictions in the stock market and cause many to reap great rewards. Prophetic instinct will be on the rise as God releases the discernment of His people to be heightened with precision and cutting-edge accuracy.
The Lord says, "There will be prophetic ingenuity of apostolic government that will hit many company CEO's and CFO's as their hearts are hit with a new quickening of My Spirit to shift their strategies of financial growth, resulting in more efficient and productive methods for speedier multiplication of profits."
Prophetic revelation will come upon them suddenly that will be a direct download of the mind of Christ as they seize and lay ahold of, and direct and redirect their respective shifting markets with an aggression that is full of passion and divine empowerment. There will be the fusion of marketplace ministry, salvation and financial miracles that will transfer from the unseen realm to the realm of the seen as a result of a new tenacity that God is placing in the core of their prophetic DNA.
The Lord says, "A new level of entrepreneurial wisdom and sharp thinking skills will come to the forefront as the enemy's cloud of discouragement, hopelessness and lack of vision will blow away and depart as I continue to hover and breathe a fresh new breath of My Spirit upon this great economic nation. I will preserve that which I have promised to you, America!"
New companies will emerge out of the pulpit experience. God will cause even more pulpit ideas to become business ideas and business ideas to become pulpit ideas. There will be an opening for prayer and prophetic unction released into the business atmosphere that will cause a leaping for prosperity in the mind, body, soul and spirit of emerging companies. A releasing of entrepreneurial flames will sweep across America with a strategic entrepreneurial gathering of the hearts of prophets, apostles and even prophetic musicians as they join in spirit to proclaim and prophesy God's successes over economies, businesses, leaders and governments--extinguishing the negative voice of enemy forces.
Like watchmen on the wall, God is calling out and ranking His entrepreneurial army to run through troops and leap over the walls of the enemy's strategies of economic destruction. The Lord says, "The enemy will not succeed. There will be attempts but they will fall."
The Internet--One of the Greatest Marketplace Ministry Vehicles
Even a new generation of young businessmen and women will take on a new way of doing business. They are already fast learners, technology innovators, witty inventors, multimedia masterminds, Internet and stock market savvy. They are joined as one, even though they are spread out all over this land to accomplish their individual call, purpose and destiny in the work force and in the spirit realms. God has given many pulpit ministries skill and knowledge and trades and the working of hands with exceptional intelligence.
The Lord says, "I will use the Internet to become one of the greatest marketplace ministry vehicles and it is already set in place to be the pulpit of the many businesses and ministries alike. I have connected like-minded hearts there for the purpose of rapidly raising up an army of warrior entrepreneurs that are filled with My Spirit and are highly gifted with sharp prophetic precision for everyday business decisions and everyday life decisions."
"No longer will prophetic ministry be contained and hidden in the church. I have shifted the stream of My Spirit and spilled it out into the open--just like a volcano has spread its flames with lava reaching miles and miles away from its eruption."
Your Dissatisfaction Was Your Birthing Place
"It is a good thing," says the Lord. "Your dissatisfaction was your birthing place. Your frustration was your labor. Your perseverance is your reward as you enter a new season of harvest. Five years of grace. Five years of favor. Five years of fulfillment. Five years of fun and celebration. Five years of fruitfulness. Five years of a strengthening fortress. Your enemies will not be able to succeed or stand against My tidal wave," says the Lord.
"A mighty rushing wind will blow down every enemy and entity that attempts to stand in a lofty place. I will break every branch until the sap is dried up and is cut down to a powerless dead tree stump for you to stand upon in victory. Every place that your foot shall tread, I have given you that land, that city and that nation." says the Lord. "It already belongs to you."
Progression, Provision and Protection
God is freely opening up opportunities that at first glance, may not look to be divinely orchestrated, but then His characteristics and His qualities will be seen within them as they will become apparent, and the fruit of God's Spirit will be upon them with distinction and they will be readily recognized by their fruit. A mighty fortress of business and ministry will erect for progression, for provision and for protection. Many will even become millionaires and many will have large amounts of debt that will be taken out and overthrown.
The Lord says, "A new kingly anointing shall be realized by My people with the rising of the remembrance that in the beginning, I purposed mankind to take dominion and to subdue the earth."
"And God blessed them and said to them, Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it [using all its vast resources in the service of God and man]; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and over every living creature that moves upon the earth" (Genesis 1:28).
The Trees of the Field Will Clap Their Hands
The Lord is saying, "Once again, My people will walk as kings and as priests and will humble themselves to pray--not because of a national tragedy, but because of a national prosperity and a celebration in the heart of the land. The trees will clap their hands and the mountains will rumble and shout out the name of the Lord, for I am a protector and keeper of that which is Mine and of those that are near and dear to My heart."
"For you shall go out [from the spiritual exile caused by sin and evil into the homeland] with joy and be led forth [by your Leader, the Lord Himself, and His word] with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands" (Isaiah 55:12).
"I have placed favor upon this soil, and I have given My people this land to tread upon, to walk upon, to overtake, to overthrow, to undertake, to build and to plant, and to make brand new and to prosper. This nation will declare, 'I am blessed,' and it will declare again, 'I am a blessing to the earth.' The earth will boil with the eruption of gladness and joy. It will ooze out the heat and the passion of My heart for the love of those that are Mine. My heart has rested and My habitation is here to stay," says the Lord. "I love this land."
God bless America!

We Are Coming Into A New Season!

2007-09-05T06:14:00.001-07:00

September 5, 2007
PATRICIA KING:
"Preparing for A New Season in Your Life--Insights into Rosh Hashanah 2007--September 13-14"
"Do not call to mind the former things, or ponder the things of the past. Behold, I will do something new. Now it will spring forth; will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, rivers in the desert." Isaiah 43:18-19
September 13-14, 2007 is Rosh Hashanah or the Hebrew New Year. This time of year has always been significant to me and I love to prepare. It seems that this particular time in the Jewish calendar is like a thermometer for the rest of the year.
This New Year in the Hebrew calendar is the Year 5768. In a recent article I read on the ElijahList by Chuck Pierce, he states that this year is, "The Year of the Full Circle of Life--A New Beginning is Yours." Let's embrace this new cycle. (Click here to view Chuck Pierce's recent article.)
The Last 7 and the Next 7 Years
The number 7 symbolizes the completion of a cycle and the number 8 is the number of new beginnings. The last 7 years was a prophetic season--a season where the Lord revealed insights, perceptions and revelations concerning a new spiritual era and great transition for the Church. The last 7 years included a prophetic call to look beyond where we have walked and look to the greatness of the manifestation of the Kingdom of God in the earth. This 7-year prophetic season has shaken and challenged mindsets and structures. It was meant to.
We have now completed that cycle--although shakings will continue. Great change awaits us and therefore--flexibility and acute submission to the Holy Spirit will be required. It is now time to build and to lay ahold of everything we saw in the last season. The last 7 years were spent receiving revelation and proclaiming the vision. The next 7 years will involve building and embracing what has been seen.
It is possible, if we arise to the occasion, to experience more mobilization of the Body of Christ into a true apostolic mandate in the next 7 years than ever before in Church history. It is truly an apostolic season we are entering into. It is truly "a light invading the darkness" season--a time for us to arise and shine and fill the earth with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord. We've had glimpses of the apostolic season in the last 7 years, but now it will come into full bloom.
Love will be the greatest key for the Church in the next 7 years. Without love we are nothing and what we accomplish profits nothing without it (1 Corinthians 13). Love is to be our greatest aim (1 Corinthians 14:1). In order to come into the full measure of this apostolic season, love needs to be perfected in the Church. Everything that is not of love and not of true faith will be shaken. The LOVE WAR has been declared and the Body will be tested on this. Love will open doors to the heart of nations. Let's grow and mature in love.
Preparing for the New Year--Rosh Hashanah
It is important to prepare for Rosh Hashanah this year. Your preparation will, in many ways, determine how you will be influenced over the next year. The Lord is waiting to pour fresh oil out upon you. Here are 8 points to help you prepare for this new season:
1. Ask the Holy Spirit to highlight what He revealed to you in the last 7 years. What He revealed--you will now walk in the next 7 years if you choose. Define these things clearly. Write them down and ask the Lord to manifest in your life over the "next" 7 years all that He revealed to you in the "last" 7 years.
2. Invite the Holy Spirit to convict you of any area of your life, where you have not been submitted to Him. Ask Him to cleanse you from waywardness and from all sin. Invite Him to destroy within you any enemy of love. Ask Him to align you to God's love and to perfect you in love. Complete submission to the Lord in this next season is vital.
3. Invite the Lord to increase His grace (His divine influence) upon your life as you seek Him. Take time to fast and to pray before Rosh Hashanah. Pray until you are confident that you are clothed in greater grace. There is warfare over the next season, but you can establish the victory now. Hide in His grace. Grace, Grace, Grace. Grace is a great key for victory in this next 7-year cycle.
4. Ask the Lord to quicken personal promises to you from the Word for this coming year and this next 7-year season. Stand on those promises. Write them down. Meditate on them. The Word does not return void but accomplishes everything it is sent to do.
5. Praise Him as you establish Him in the highest place in your life. Praise will be a weapon for great victories in the next 7 years.
6. Pray much in tongues so that His mysteries can be birthed in your midst.
7. Invite the Lord to give you a clear strategy for the next year. Get ready to build or to move into what He is showing you. Your faith will need action in the next year.
8. Ask the Holy Spirit to fill you afresh with His Presence that you might go forth in the fullness of His will, purpose and power.

Conrad Lampan:
"GATHER YOUR BLESSINGS BEFORE YOU ASK FOR MORE"
I was having a chat with the Lord one day, and asked Him some questions about my troubles in a time of adjustment in my life which involved many changes. All the changes seemed to overwhelm me, and to top it all off, dire financial needs like storm clouds were glooming over my head. Have you been there? I am sure you have, and I am sure you know what I am talking about.
As I was chatting and asking the Holy Spirit some questions, He told me to say the Lord's Prayer. My attitude was like, "Why?" But anyway, I started saying it. "Our Father...deliver us from evil...." (Matthew 10). There, He stopped me, and said, "I promised you I will deliver you from evil, but I never said you were going to have a trouble-free life."
MY GOD DOES NOT MAKE SENSE!
In fact--He went on to say, "Your troubles might bless you." Say what?! I said to Him, "Look, I know You are the Holy Spirit and You know everything, but unless You explain this, I cannot swallow it." He then pointed me to Hosea 2:14, where I read things that totally prove we serve a God that does not make sense. My God does not make any sense!
God says that He will "allure her into the wilderness and...speak comfort to her." Come on! Comfort in the wilderness? Then, in verse 15, He says that He "will give her vineyards from there." Really? Just in case you do not know about the valley of Achor, where God says He will give "her vineyards from there," it is a desert in the middle of the wilderness! Another name for it is the "valley of death." Vineyards? And to top it all, He also says in verse 15, that the valley of Achor "will be your gate of hope."
The Lord said to me, "Don't you see it?" "I don't," I said. He then said, "Look again." I retorted, "Lord, I just don't get Your point." And that's when He shouted to me:
"YOUR TROUBLES CAN BE THE GATE TO YOUR BLESSINGS!"
How could that be? The Holy Spirit then said, "Stay with Me, and I will show you where lies the hinge, over which the door revolves--from troubles to blessings."
He then took me to 2 Kings 19, where we read the story of Jerusalem surrounded by the Assyrians with Sennacherib at the head. The siege was long, and the heathen king even blasphemed the Lord. King Hezekiah and the nation were in dire need, and they were facing certain death. Then Hezekiah went into the temple and called Isaiah to a prayer meeting. There, Isaiah made intercession for Hezekiah and for the nation. And the answer came.
BECAUSE YOU PRAYED
The Holy Spirit then noted to me that He will never ever answer a prayer that has not been made! Only "because you prayed" will you then have deliverance.
And surely as daylight, deliverance came for them. As you continue to read the story in 2 Kings 19, 185,000 enemy soldiers were killed by the Angel of the Lord and Sennacherib, king of Assyria, broke camp and withdrew!
But I was still thinking of how "troubles can be a blessing." I thought here that, "The blessing was actually the deliverance from trouble," but the trouble itself did not look to me like a blessing. If it was a blessing in disguise, I have to admit, it was the master of disguise!
And the Holy Spirit pointed me to some history, particularly the history of ancient warfare. In ancient times, an army like the Assyrians, would go out on campaigns that lasted months or even years. In many cases, they would conquer and subjugate a city or nation, and instead of going home, they would simply continue to the next city to conquer. This seems to be the case with Sennacherib as it shows when he is boasting--it seems he was riding on a highway of victories, leaving behind conquered lands and subjugated peoples.
AFTER YOU PRAY: GATHER!
I said to the Lord, "What do you want me to gather from this portion of history?" And He just said, "Gather." Oh, right! What? My head was already spinning as usual when I get into a direct talk with the Holy Spirit. He gives me peace, but He makes my brain smoke!
He said that the Assyrians were in a conquering campaign and they had already submitted quite a few nations, and they surely took big spoils and tribute from them. Where was the gold and silver they took? Where were all the valuables they took from the conquered peoples? They did not send boxes of gold via UPS ground, and there were no FED-EX planes yet. They had all the goods with them; they were carrying it all with them!
THEY LEFT THEIR GOODS AT THE GATES OF JERUSALEM AND FLED!
This is our God! This is the unfathomable God. Only one such God can allow the mightiest army in the world (at that time) to come and siege Jerusalem, and then God Himself slews a big chunk of them, causing the rest of them to flee in absolute terror, leaving behind their possessions. I said, "Lord, the Bible does not say that they left all the gold there." Oh my! I should know better by now to not teach the Bible to the Holy Spirit. He simply asked me, "Do you think that the Assyrians, in all their terror, would take time to gather their gold when they were running for their lives?" No, they left all the stuff behind so that the people in Jerusalem could gather it all. And it all happened "because people prayed,"--that's the hinge!
OPEN YOUR GATES, NOT THE GATES OF HEAVEN
So many times, we keep crying to God to open the gates of Heaven and send blessings, when we could simply open the gates we have and gather the blessings God's "already" caused to be left at our gates--when we prayed! But this takes action--we need to act, open the gates, step out in faith and believe God!
Nothing will happen that you do not pray for; but many times the blessings you prayed for are already at your gates. Because you prayed, they were sent to you; because you prayed, blessings were stored at your front door; because you prayed, He came with deliverance; because you prayed, He came with provision.
God will never answer a prayer that has not been made. But then again, God will never answer your prayers by sending quail flying into your camp already roasted!
Be blessed and be a blessing!

For Such A Time As This!

2007-08-25T06:52:00.000-07:00

W all have family members who seem to have been thru things we just don't understand.

Even, myself or you may have also been thru the furnace! But God is moving, for such a
time as this!

August 25, 2007
John Meyer:
"THE FURNACE DOOR IS OPENING-- A RELEASE OF PROPHETS WHO HAVE BEEN IN 'THE WAIT'"
A Building Process
Many of God's people who have ahold of their purpose and vision inside, are sensing a time of release. They have been behind closed doors, crying, laughing and trembling with their Lord and Savior. They have known what it means to reach the depths of anguish in their souls and minds and have felt at times that they could not go on any longer. They have tried to reach out through conversation to share their pain, but others who listened, could not relate. They've experienced a loneliness that has been physically felt and mentally challenging.
It's been a journey where all one could say is, "I don't know what is going on exactly, but God is good!" All the confessions, professions and proclamations seem to go out, but silence is all that is heard. The journey has been a prophetic process for the prophets and also for those who have been in the "building" process of the Lord, just waiting for their release and assignment on the earth. The season of preparation is often misunderstood by many who go through it. All we want to do sometimes is to get out of the fire, while God Himself is keeping us from leaving. Only He knows the full process of keeping us in the fire--until we walk out looking better, acting better and loving better. Many have tried to run out only to find themselves walking back into the furnace of refinement once again. God has always been in it with us, but somehow we think He has left us there to roast.
The Door is Opening
We are now entering into a time of release for many who have been going through the fire and have grown up in character. Standing on their feet, they hear the Master opening up the furnace door and saying, "It is now time." They are not running like before--they are walking with a maturity and confidence in their Lord, as they come through the door to enter their assignments.
This does not mean that all of a sudden everything will just happen and money will fall out of the trees for people, but what it does mean is that favor will be there when it is needed, with the work of their hands. It means that the weight of the gifting matches the weight of the character and the "appointed time" is now upon them. It means that they will not quickly fall like they used to when temptations come near them.
James understood this process and the importance of "The Wait" for maturity, "James, a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad: Greetings. My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing" (James 1:1-4).
Many times when we read this Scripture, we automatically think of some major family or financial trial we go through and yes, these are trials. But for those who have been in the process of development, they have also been sorely tested in the battlefield of the mind regarding their calling. Some ponder if they have blown it with sin and wonder if it will happen, or they begin to think that God had never spoken to them in the first place. It is the plan of the enemy and the flesh to get us thinking this way, but patience has a divine and perfect plan.
The patience that has come through the trial, has now been developed to the point of release. It is the patience that is mature and complete--able to withstand testing and truly help others in need.
Mature Enough to Understand Temptation
James 1:12-17, "Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. Let no one say when he is tempted, 'I am tempted by God'; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death. Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning."
The struggle to sort out what is happening and "who" is doing what to those in process, is often misunderstood and many people have even blamed God for their temptations during development. But, God has brought them to the point of maturity in the fire, where they no longer believe that lie and have now understood that the "Refining Fire" has been burning away their unclean thoughts and desires of wanting the release too soon and doing works in the flesh.
For some, the discipline of the Lord has been grueling and has been an unpleasant experience, and it is totally human to feel that way. Yet as maturity is developed, there is a knowledge and confidence inside, knowing the process produces a harvest of Godly character and peace.
Hebrews 12:11, "No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it."
The Time is Now Upon Many
The time is quickly approaching and others will see someone coming out of the Furnace, looking and smelling like God, who they thought would be completely burned up. These are the "unknowns" in society who will enter their callings, full of God's power and wisdom. They will know how to handle difficulties without breaking down emotionally. They will release practical, yet powerful insight from God's Word that will shatter strongholds and liberate the afflicted and oppressed.
It will truly be the demonstration of the Spirit without the "eloquence" of fleshly words being released as Paul describes in 1 Corinthians 2. It is a Supernatural release that will bring young and old to real repentance, because they have seen and have experienced the goodness of God in a tangible way.
For those who have understood the process of "The Wait," be encouraged! Your release is close at hand. Rejoice! For the Lord your God is opening the door of the furnace.

FRANCIS FRANGIPANE:
"The Gift of Woundedness Makes Us Christlike"
"We cannot become Christlike without experiencing woundedness."
The world and all it contains was created for one purpose: to showcase the grandeur of God's Son. In Jesus, the nature of God is magnificently and perfectly revealed; He is the "express image" of God (Hebrews 1:3). Yet to gaze upon Christ is also to see God's pattern for man. As we seek to be like Him, we discover that our need was created for His sufficiency. We also see that, once the redemptive nature of Christ begins to triumph in our lives, mercy begins to triumph in the world around us.
Becoming Christlike--Wounding is Inevitable
How will we recognize revival when it comes? Behold, here is the awakening we seek: men and women, young and old, all conformed to Jesus. When will revival begin? It starts the moment we say, "Yes" to becoming like Him; it spreads to others as Christ is revealed through us.
Yet to embrace Christ's attitude toward mercy is but a first step in our spiritual growth. The process of being transformed calls us to deeper degrees of transformation. Indeed, just as Jesus learned obedience through the things that He suffered (see Hebrews 5:8), so also must we. And it is here, even while we stand in intercession or service to God--He gives us the gift of woundedness.
"Gift?" you ask. Yes, to be wounded in the service of mercy instead of closing our hearts, will allow woundedness to crown us with love, and will release God's power in redemption. The steadfast prayer of the wounded intercessor holds great sway upon the heart of God.
We cannot become Christlike without experiencing woundedness. You see, even after we come to Christ, we carry encoded within us preset limits concerning how far we will go for love, and how much we are willing to suffer for redemption. The wounding exposes those human boundaries and reveals what we lack of His nature.
The path narrows as we seek true transformation. Indeed, many Christians fall short of Christ's stature because they have been hurt and offended by people. They leave churches discouraged, vowing never again to serve or lead or contribute because, when they offered themselves, their gift was marred by unloving people. To be struck or rejected in the administration of mercy can become a great offense to us, especially as we are waiting for, and even expecting, a reward for our good efforts.
Yet--wounding is inevitable if we are following Christ. Jesus was both "marred" (Isaiah 52:14) and "wounded" (Zechariah 13:6), and if we are sincere in our pursuit of His nature, we will suffer as well. How else will love be perfected?
Let us beware. We either become Christlike and forgive, or we enter a spiritual time warp where we abide continually in the memory of our wounding. Like a systemic disease, the hurtful memories destroy every aspect of our reality. In truth, apart from God, the wounding that life inflicts is incurable. God has decreed that only Christ in us can survive.
Intercessors live on the frontier of change. We are positioned to stand between the needs of man and the provision of God. Because we are the agents of redemption, satan will always seek the means to offend, discourage, silence, or otherwise steal the strength of our prayers. The wounding we receive must be interpreted in light of God's promise to reverse the effects of evil and make them work for our good (see Romans 8:28). Since spiritual assaults are inevitable, we must discover how God uses our wounds as the means to greater power. This was exactly how Christ brought redemption to the world.
Maintaining Love Is the Key
Jesus knew that maintaining love and forgiveness in the midst of suffering was the key that unlocked the power of redemption. Isaiah 53:11 tells us, "By His knowledge the Righteous One, My Servant, will justify the many, as He will bear their iniquities."
Jesus possessed "revelation knowledge" into the mystery of God. He knew that the secret to unleashing world-transforming power was found at the Cross. The terrible offense of the Cross became the place of redemption for the world. Yet, remember, Jesus calls us to a cross as well (see Matthew 16:24). Wounding is simply an altar upon which our sacrifice to God is prepared.
Listen again to Isaiah's prophetic description of Jesus' life. His words, at first, seem startling, but as we read, we discover a most profound truth concerning the power of woundedness. He wrote,
"But the LORD was pleased to crush Him, putting Him to grief; if He would render Himself as a guilt offering, He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days, and the good pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand" (Isaiah 53:10).
How did Jesus obtain the power of God's pleasure and have it prosper in His hands? During His times of crushing, woundedness and devastation, instead of retaliating, He rendered Himself "as a guilt offering."
The crushing is not a disaster; it is an opportunity. You see, our purposeful love may or may not touch the sinner's heart, but it always touches the heart of God. We are crushed by people, but we need to allow the crushing to ascend as an offering to God. The far greater benefit is the effect our mercy has on the Father. If we truly want to be instruments of God's good pleasure, then it is redemption, not wrath, that must prosper in our hands.
So, when Christ encounters conflict, even though He is the Lion of Judah, He comes as the Lamb of God. Even when He is outwardly stern, His loving heart is always mindful that He is the "guilt offering." Thus, Jesus not only asks the Father to forgive those who have wounded Him, but also numbers Himself with the transgressors and intercedes for them (see Isaiah 53:12). He does this because the Father takes "no pleasure in the death of the wicked" (Ezekiel 33:11), and it is the pleasure of God that Jesus seeks.
Is this not the wonder and mystery and the power of Christ's Cross? In anguish and sorrow, wounded in heart and soul, still He offered Himself for His executioners' sins. Without visible evidence of success, deemed a sinner and a failure before man, He courageously held true to mercy. In the depth of terrible crushing, He let love attain its most glorious perfection. He uttered the immortal words, "Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing" (Luke 23:34).
Christ could have escaped. He told Peter as the Romans came to arrest Him, "Do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?" (Matthew 26:53). In less than a heartbeat, the skies would have been flooded with thousands of warring angels. Yes, Jesus could have escaped, but mankind would have perished. Christ chose to go to hell for us rather than return to Heaven without us. Instead of condemning mankind, He rendered "Himself as a guilt offering" (Isaiah 53:10, italics mine).
Jesus said, "He who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also" (John 14:12). We assume He meant that we would work His miracles, but Jesus did not limit His definition of "works" to the miraculous. The works He did--the redemptive life, the mercy cry, the identification with sinners, rendering Himself a guilt offering--all the works He did, we will "do also."
Thus, because He lives within us, we see that Isaiah 53 does not apply exclusively to Jesus; it also becomes the blueprint for Christ in us. Indeed, was this not part of His reward, that He would see His offspring? (see Isaiah 53:10) Beloved, we are the progeny of Christ.
Afflictions of Love
Read these words from Paul's heart:
"Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I do my share on behalf of His body, which is the Church, in filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions" (Colossians 1:24).
What did the apostle mean? Did not Christ fully pay mankind's debts once and for all? Did Paul imply that we now take Jesus' place? No, we will never take Jesus' place. It means that Jesus has come to take our place. The Son of God manifests all the aspects of His redemptive, sacrificial life through us. Indeed, "as He is, so also are we in this world" (1 John 4:17).
Paul not only identified with Christ in his personal salvation, but he was also consumed with Christ's purpose. He wrote, "That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death" (Philippians 3:10).
A wondrous reality is the "fellowship of His sufferings." Here, in choosing to yoke our existence with Christ's purpose, we find true friendship with Jesus. This is intimacy with Christ. The sufferings of Christ are not the sorrows typically endured by mankind; they are the afflictions of love. They bring us closer to Jesus. United with Him, we increase the pleasure of God.
Let's pray: Father, I see You have had no other purpose in my life but to manifest through me the nature of Your Son. I receive the gift of woundedness. In response, in surrender to Christ, I render myself an offering for those You've used to crush me. May the fragrance of my worship remind You of Jesus, and may You forgive, sprinkle and cleanse the world around me.

Al Thomas:
"A WORD TO WEARY PROPHETS--HOLD ON, THE FIRE IS COMING!"
I was driven to prayer by the Holy Spirit--and it was urgent. A great burden came on me and I saw an open vision of many prophets from all over the world. Most were bruised and wounded men and women of God with their heads hanging low, almost ready to give in to defeat. Then from Heaven came an angel holding a large postcard, and it read: God Says: "WEARY PROPHETS, HOLD ON AND DON'T QUIT....
"Sometimes you've thundered My word and few have received it. Remember this, I was watching from Heaven, and I received it because I gave it to you (Isaiah 51:16). Often, you've trembled before My word was released from your mouth, not knowing if it would be accepted...but you spoke it anyway. There were those times when you wanted to throw in the towel, but you kept moving (Luke 9:62). Remember that even Elijah was depressed and wanted to quit (1 Kings 19:4). Do not think this is a strange thing happening (1 Peter 4:12). You're in good company! Like Jeremiah who could not contain the fire I put within Him (Jeremiah 20:9), you also allowed My flaming words to be released.
Some of you, as you moved along in the ministry I called you into, saw restrained but obvious frowns--even on the faces of your own family. Still, you served Me. Yes, still you obeyed My calling for your life. You've learned never to quit in spite of getting weary and sometimes, you had to encourage yourself (1 Samuel 30:6) when no one else would. I now encourage you--Heaven has taken note and angels are being dispatched to help you because you did not quit! You would rather die than not fulfill My will for your life. You remind Me of a man called, "Paul" (Acts 20:24). And his anointing will be upon you."
God Says: "WEARY ONES, I'M PLEASED WITH YOU BECAUSE YOU GAVE MY WORD TO MANY HURTING ONES....
"You've left some places wondering, 'What was that all about? Did anything happen?' Mighty servant of Mine, do not be mistaken--you did move in My 'Super'natural gifting, but after some meetings, you started to look in the natural, forgetting My Super. Much did take place in the Spirit (Zechariah 4:6). Many children of Mine who were hurting, received fresh manna because of your obedience to the prophetic ministry I called you to, and many left the meeting renewed and strengthened for the battle because you stepped out on the water and obeyed Me.
You were on the mark! The enemy of your soul attacked you viciously because you damaged his kingdom and he suffered loss, but for you, it was gain (Matthew 16:18). Some of you have eaten the bread of affliction, but I rejoiced because even when you were 'under it,' you gave healthy portions of the Bread of Life to My wounded ones (John 6:35). Thank you."
God Says: "WEARY SERVANTS, REJECT THE CRITICISM, MANY IN HEAVEN ARE APPLAUDING....
"Many of My prophets who receive My approval, often receive man's rejection. As a prophet, don't expect to be voted, 'Man or woman of the year.' Some of you have looked at your calling as being small and insignificant--you couldn't be more wrong. Many of you have not become well-known on earth, but in Heaven, your name is celebrated. You've given some words that sounded (to you) like tin...but they were actually gold to the ones who received them (Proverbs 15:23).
I put (My) goodness in your mouth for weary souls and you did not withhold it from those to whom it was due (Proverbs 3:27). Because of your obedience to proclaim My word (even though few noticed), walls of hopelessness fell away from some and others suddenly gained strength to answer their calling--all because you rejected the criticism of doubters and allowed yourself to be fueled by Heaven cheering you on (Hebrews 12:1). You didn't fire back at the pessimists; instead, you simply loved them and moved on with your mission."
God Says: "SOME THINK THEY ARE APPROACHING THE SUNSET OF THEIR MINISTRY, THEY ARE WRONG....
"A second wind is coming to refresh many (Psalm 147:18). Some prophets think they have 'missed it' and feel guilty. Yes, some have failed (2 Timothy 4:10), but many have been lied to (by satan), thinking that they failed Me when they have not! Your Holy Spirit inspired 'words' are producing changed lives, birthing divine destinies and encouraging many to keep fighting the good fight of faith. Some have thought nothing was gained and time was wasted, but you did not see My view. Never forget--I've called you to announce, pronounce and sometimes, denounce! From My perspective (and that's all that counts), you have spoken My words and stilled storms that raged in confused minds and hearts (Mark 4:39).
Instead of being weary, you will refresh the weary. Fire is coming. Many of your recipes say, 'add water,' and that is what I often do before I send My fire. I told Elijah to 'add water' three times before I sent the fire (1 Kings 18). At that time, there was a drought and water was precious, but Elijah knew the rains were coming. I've allowed some circumstances to 'throw water' on your ministry and life, so when I send the fire, you will know it was from Me! (1 Kings 18:41-46). Be weary no longer! Your ministry has Heaven's stamp of approval."
"My Word that goes out of My mouth, shall not return void, but shall accomplish what I please," (Isaiah 55:11).

Rick Joyner:
"THE GREAT METAMORPHOSIS--BEING TRANSFORMED AS WE SOAR ABOVE OUR TRIALS"
"There is no greater freedom than knowing we are in the will of God."
The Church is the Lord's Body, and what He does, He will do through His Church. If we want to be a part of what God is doing, it is fundamental that we find our part in His body and begin functioning in it.
We must also acknowledge that there are many ways in which the contemporary Church reflects the ways and organizations of this world more than the Kingdom of God. However, the Church is going through a most radical transformation at this time. It is so radical that the only way to describe it is metamorphosis, which we have discussed before, but we need to build on this thought a bit, so I will review it briefly here.
Metamorphosis of the Church and Our Mindsets
Metamorphosis is the process that a caterpillar goes through in the cocoon where it enters as a worm and leaves a beautiful butterfly. The Greek word that is the root of this word "metamorphosis" is the word translated "transformed" in Romans 12:2:
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
A caterpillar is a worm that crawls along the earth, conforming to all of the contours of the earth, but a butterfly soars above the earth. This is the transformation that is needed in us, and as it is specifically stated in this verse, the transformation must take place in our minds by the renewing.
Our minds have what are called "mindsets." A mindset is the setting of our mind so that when a word is spoken, we form a certain, definite impression. For example, when the word "Church" is stated, many have a very definite impression of it. For most of us, the Church is in its caterpillar state—the worm that is still conformed to this world. However, that mindset is about to be changed and renewed. Those who see prophetically already see the Church differently. She is about to become a very Heavenly creature, and those who are still looking for her crawling along the ground may miss her as she soars by overhead.
Mindsets can be good and bad. There are mindsets that we should have about such things as the Scriptures being the Word of God which cannot be changed. However, there are a lot of mindsets which are in fact spiritual strongholds--bondages that need to be broken. These are broken by a transformation that is in fact a metamorphosis, which is a process. I know many people who get revelations, but that is just the beginning of a transformation in our thinking which points us in the right direction. Real transformation is a process that requires faith, patience, endurance and focus.
Metamorphosis requires going into a cocoon, which is very confining. Even after the transformation has taken place, the cocoon is very hard to break out of. In fact, breaking out of the cocoon is often the greatest struggle a butterfly will ever go through. However, if it were not for this great struggle, which strengthens the butterfly's wings, it would not be able to flap those big wings and fly.
It is noteworthy that Paul was, "strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying, ''Through many tribulations we must enter the Kingdom of God'" (Acts 14:22). The mindset that many believers have today would make that message anything but "strengthening" and "encouraging," but for the spiritually mature--it is. The Greek word "tribulations" basically means "pressures" such as the confining pressures of the cocoon. We are strengthened through those constrictions and pressures that the Lord allows to come upon us so that we will be able to soar above this world. Those who want to avoid these trials will be confined as worms to the earth.
There are many Christians who have stayed on the course, making the most of their trials, and they will soar high above the earth. There are many Christians who have not had the wisdom or maturity to do this, and they will always crawl. This is a demarcation which will become increasingly striking in the times ahead. Shortly after that, all Christians will be soaring because those who have not been transformed will not be able to remain Christians.
When the Lord was asked about the signs of the end of the age, He replied, "Woe...to those who nurse babes in those days" (see Matthew 24:19). I would translate this as, "Woe to those who have kept their people in immaturity." For this reason, Romans 12:1-2 is critical for us to hear:
I urge you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
Not Conformed to this World
To present our bodies to the Lord as living and holy sacrifices is our spiritual service and worship. The body is the temple of the Lord, and as Paul wrote to the Corinthians, if we continue to defile it, we can expect it to be destroyed. The sins of the body have consequences that will destroy the body. That should be motivation enough, but a higher motivation is a love for God so great, that we want to please Him in all things.
We must resolve not to be conformed to this world. If we do not care more about what God thinks of us than what people think of us, then we are not worthy to be His bride. That is why Paul said in Galatians 1:10, "If I were still seeking to please men I would not be a bond-servant of Christ." The degree to which we are ruled by the compulsion to please men, to be acceptable to men, is the degree to which we will have departed from our service to Christ.
As the Lord Jesus Himself stated in John 5:44, "How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another, and you do not seek the glory that is from the One and only God?" The answer of course is that we cannot believe and have true faith if we are still seeking the glory of men. The word for "glory" in this verse could have been translated "recognition." Our minds cannot be transformed if we are still conforming to this world by seeking the glory or recognition of men rather than the recognition of God.
However, the great promise in Romans 12:1-2 is that if our minds are transformed, we will be able to "prove what the will of God is." There is no greater freedom than knowing we are in the will of God. This allows us to soar high above any of the conditions or problems of this world. This is how Paul and Silas soared in worship even when they were in a dungeon. No dungeon could hold their spirits. If the things of this world are still holding us down, then we have not been transformed.
It is interesting that during the teenage years, there is more pressure to conform to what is considered "the norm" than probably at any other time of life. This is precisely the time of life when our true identity and purpose should be becoming clear, and this pressure from the world seems to be especially strong at this time to keep it from happening. This is also the time when many yokes of bondage are placed on people that keep them bound their entire lives. When you see a generation breaking out of this, willing to be different, having such vision and focus during these years that they cannot be seduced by the ways of this world, you can be sure the end of this age is near because the Bride is here.
So what about folks that are older? Certainly there will be Joshuas and Calebs from the previous generation, but there is also hope for all who are still alive to be a part. There is a renewing that will renew us. We can become young again. That the Bride is "without spot or wrinkle" (see Ephesians 5:27) speaks of her being pure (without spot), and she does not age (no wrinkles!). We can be made young again in the Lord if we will repent and determine that we will not be conformed to this world, but rather be transformed. If we are still living, it is not too late, but we should not waste another day.
We also need to decide if we are going to let all of the previous wounds and disappointments determine who we are, or if we are going to be like Christ, using the Cross to determine who we are, seizing the opportunity to die to ourselves and rise above this world and live in resurrection power. We cannot be resurrected unless we have first died.

Keith Miller:
"KRATOS POWER! THE HOLY SPIRIT STRENGTHENS US TO OVERCOME RATHER THAN 'BE' OVERCOME"
"We cannot walk in the fullness of our destiny or calling until we know the strength of God and live daily by the strength of who He is in our inner man."
It's an incredible thing to walk in the strength of the Holy Spirit! It's a place where we live as overcomers and not as the overcome. It's a place where we operate in supernatural ability, not the natural, and where the enemy has no place! The sevenfold expressions of the Holy Spirit (Isaiah 11:2, Revelation 4:5), empower us to live daily in the fullness of the Lord so that Jesus will receive glory and honor through His great power working in and through us. We can walk empowered and strengthened when the of the Spirit of the Lord is upon us.
As I grow and walk in my own knowledge and revelation of God's strength and fullness, sometimes I feel fifty-feet tall. Why? It's because I'm walking in a realm of authority where the strength and might of God isn't just upon, but also in me. I tell you the truth--I will not be tossed to and fro!
"For this reason, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in Heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened [kratos] with might [dunamis] through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height-to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the Church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen" (Ephesians 3:14-21).
Live in the Place of "I Can Do"
Imagine awakening every morning with the confidence of God's strength in you, being able to do all things through Christ who gives you strength (Philipians 4:13). And, this strength in you, is according to His wealth, according to the riches of His glory and according to who He is! "All" means everything. It means everything that He has purposed for you--the above and beyond what you can think or imagine, according to the greatness of His power that works within--that Christ Jesus may receive ALL of the glory in the Church and for the ages to come.
We're living in a time where God is doing and will do, exceedingly abundantly above and beyond what we can ask or think, and He wants to do these things through us! His thoughts are far above ours. In fact, His thoughts and ways are so high that He wants to blow the lid off limitation in our life and release us into an entirely different and higher level of our destiny in Him. God wants you to believe for your family, your neighborhood, your city and nation! By the power of the Holy Spirit and His incredible fullness, you can think big! God renews the mind by stretching it like an elastic band beyond a normal pattern or realm of thinking or understanding. Sometimes it stretches to the limit, way out of our comfort zones, but just when we think we're going to snap, "whoosh," it all makes sense--things connect in our inner man, and suddenly, we know that we're able to do the above and beyond Paul tells us about.
An Abundance of God's Wealth
Is your mind stretched a little? Good. Ponder now, "the riches of His glory." According to Paul, God bestows to us strength and power according to the riches of His glory. His glory is abundant, it's bountiful and it's endless. We can never ask for too much strength and power, because it's available to us in the same measure as He is glorious--unfathomable abundant measures! His abundance is the weightiness of who He is--His character, His nature, His strength and His power, and He gives/imparts/bestows that in His children according to the call and mandate He has on our lives. The greater the call, mandate or authority He gives us, the more we have of Him--His power and the strength He bestows.
We cannot walk in the fullness of our destiny or calling until we know the strength of God and live daily by the strength of who He is in our inner man. We do not gain this strength in any other way than by the power of the Holy Spirit.
His Strength (Kratos)
The word Paul used for "strengthened," in the Ephesians 3 letter, derives from the Greek root word kratos for "power," and in Biblical context means: dominion, strength, manifested power. God wants us to live by the strength of who He is in our inner man. Kratos especially signifies "exerted (applied) strength, power shown effectively in a reigning authority." More specifically, it primarily refers to God's Kingdom authority, dominion and majesty through the outward manifestation of His power. Kratos is used in God's dominion context also in Paul's letter to Timothy (I Timothy 6:13-16).
Kingdom Dominion in Your Inner Man
The world or natural realm won't rule and reign in your life if you operate out of the realm of being strengthened by kratos, that is, by being strengthened by Kingdom dominion in your inner man. Kratos applied gives you the strength to do what you couldn't do before Jesus came into your life. God's Kingdom authority, dominion and majesty should reign in every believer's inner man, for we must walk steadfast in the things of the Lord. We cannot waver if we want to ascend into the incredible levels that God wants to release right now.
When kratos dominates your inner man, the enemy's lies won't hurt you, invade your thought process or hinder you. Jesus gave me a wonderful revelation about kratos. When the multitudes, that is, the Roman cohort and the commander and the officers of the Jews came for Him in the garden and asked for Jesus of Nazareth, Jesus answered, "I AM He." Such was His strength and His confidence that "...they drew back and fell to the ground" (John 18:4-8). That, my friends, was the manifestation of Kingdom dominion! Kratos....
Paul prayed for us to be strengthened (kratos) with "might." This word in the Greek is dunamis, (from which we derive words like dynamic, dynamo and dynamite), signifying the inherent power of God. The Lord showed me a vision of dunamis. It was like swallowing a Holy Ghost hand-grenade and it exploding in our inner man. Wow! God bestowed this power according to what? According to the unlimited riches of His glory! This dynamite explosive power reigns and rules by the strength of the Holy Spirit in our inner man. This is what He granted to us! It's ours. We can stand firm, Hallelujah.
How to Live by the Strength of Who He Is
1. Become deeply rooted
We're encouraged to be strong in the Lord and His kratos power (Ephesians 6:10). Read the Word and discover the fullness of this strength, power and love for you. Develop intimacy and friendship with the Lord--spend time in the Secret Place of His Presence. Seek and come to know Him more than you have before. Those who abide in Jesus will know the anointing and will flow in it (John 15). When your roots grow deep, you'll flourish (Psalm 92:13), and the Spirit of the Lord will be upon you in strength!
2. Acquaint yourself with what God would have you do, pray for wisdom
Paul prayed that the saints at Colosse might be fully acquainted with what God would have them do in all wisdom and spiritual understanding (Colossians 1:9-10). He offered a similar prayer on behalf of the Ephesians (Ephesians 1:17-19). Wisdom and spiritual understanding awaken you to the reality of God's strength and power in you, working through you and flowing from you.
3. Plug into fresh oil daily
"But my horn you have exalted like a wild ox, I have been anointed with fresh oil" (Psalm 92:10). To be exalted as a wild ox, is to be strengthened. Oxen are strong and powerful. It takes a lot to knock an ox down. Fresh oil releases the strength of the Lord in the inner man.
It is only by His Spirit (Zechariah 4:6) that you are able to accomplish the mighty and impossible and take pleasure in infirmities, in reproach, in persecution, in distress, for Christ's sake. For when you are weak, then you are strong (2 Corinthians 12:10). So become as strong as an ox by tapping into the precious oil of the Spirit everyday.
4. Trust in the Lord
As I've said above, we cannot walk in the fullness of our destiny or calling until we know and trust the strength of God, and live daily by the strength of who He is in our inner man. We do not gain this strength in any other way than by the power of the Holy Spirit. King David trusted God even though hunted and persecuted. He said he wasn't plucked up or destroyed, but flourished like a green olive tree in the house of the Lord (Psalm 52:8).
5. Rejoice for Christ and His Mighty Strength in You
Rejoice that you can rule and reign in this life with boldness, confidence, strength, zeal and vigor, with Christ the High Priest going before you. That you can walk in the fullness of your inheritance with every manifestation of His power available to you, including kratos power. Rejoice around the Throne and sing a new song of victory, for Christ is in you--His mighty strength in your inner man!
"Blessing and honor and glory and power [kratos] be to Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, forever, and ever!" (Revelation 5:13b).

KIM CLEMENT:
"Three Earthquakes in This Nation" and "Even Ireland Shall Change!"
From the Desk of Steve Shultz:
Never before have I personally seen, nor have I heard so many prophecies about the long-expected signs and wonders that were to come upon the earth.
God is not mad at the earth or His people. Instead, rather than be mad, He died, so as many as possible would come to Him. Yet, HE does allow certain things to happen as symbolic signs to point us in the direction HE is taking the earth. We must never forget that God is not willing that ANY should perish (though He gives us a choice to receive Him or not). I believe this is why the Lord allows the elements to cry out, because Jesus Himself said that if He didn't speak, even the rocks would cry out.
I believe we are seeing rocks cry out. This is only because so many are very dull of hearing His Voice at this time. It's not that they don't hear. It's that their hearing is dull. So God is turning up the volume for all to both see and hear--so that more and more people will come into HIS Kingdom.
Blessings to you and blessings to the Nations of the world, Steve Shultz Founder, ElijahList and ElijahRain magazine www.elijahlist.com

"In this Nation, yes, there shall be three earthquakes," says the Lord. "Not earthquakes of judgment, but a sign in the earth. The wind has brought the rain. Signs from above. Fires have come on top of the land. Signs on top of the land. Fire consuming religion, consuming witchcraft and consuming control, and the synagogues of satan shall be invaded by the forces of righteousness," says the Lord of hosts.
"No more reasoning. No more debating. Go and show. Don't go and tell, go and show. For now you have embarked upon a period of manifestation," says the Lord. "Now there must be a sign underneath the earth. And surely, your earth shall shake, saying to you, 'Three times,' and showing you three arenas:
The Heavens--where the wind came and the rain came to America.
On the earth--the fires that came in the middle of this nation and shall continue in the west.
And then underneath the earth--the shaking."
And God says, "You know why? Because the demonic powers that have held tight are now being released and being taken care of and being completely annihilated," says the Spirit of the Lord. "They will never be above you; they will always be beneath you," says the Spirit of the God.

The Spirit of God said,"Have I not shown unto you that I use the elements as signs in the hemisphere and in the atmosphere? Disruptions--this Nation having weather like it never had before, Great Britain having weather like it never had before--why? Why," says the Lord. "Because I linked up the Lion and I linked up the lion-hearted."
"You say, 'What about the disruption, what about the fires in the middle of the Nation, what about the storms and the floods in the South, and the winds that shall come to the East?'" God said, "These are signs my people; signs just for you that the disruption in this nation is being transformed unto a spiritual breakthrough as it has never experienced."
"Before your President leaves, there shall be great honor and respect; not because of a war, but because I will take out of the hills and the caves of Pakistan those who have shouted and made mention of a god that does not exist; of a god that they claim would give them the power to kill human beings. Enough." God said, "This Nation must take the honor that it deserves before the end of this Presidency."
God said, "Look to Pakistan, and look to China, and let Me tell you tonight, look at your weather patterns through these summer months. Even now, the great disruptions that I have made possible is a sign to My people that I, the Lord God, have My hand on this Nation and upon Great Britain."
"Even Ireland shall change, and there shall be a great breakthrough in Ireland." And God said, "Even the Irish," and the Lord said, "you watch Me how I link up together." And God said, "It shall come to pass that I will take a man of Irish descent again, and place him in the White House. This is years to come." But God said, "A John F. Kennedy that once was to be great," but God said, "now another as a John F. Kennedy, but with uprightness, with morality and with great strength of leadership, and they shall say, 'it is JFK reincarnated.'"
And God said, "I will laugh at your psychics, for the prophet spoke in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, long before it happened, that this shall be a sign to this Nation, that what took place in the sixties and what was supposed to take place, will take place in the teens of the 2000's--of 2015 and 2016."
Rejoice please, for God said, "You shall see fires through this Nation, but holy fires. You will see an intervention and Me going into the media, and taking the streets of this Nation. Why?" God said, "You have prophesied the wind, and now you shall reap great, great, great rain," says the Lord. "You will reap great whirlwinds and they will come."
One more thing, the Spirit of God said, "Rejoice in this that you hear tonight. For even as you understand that the fires I speak about will burn out dross and put into the White House a man who will then be transformed into a righteous believer." God said, "Do not fear, for I will not allow this Nation to fall on its knees in unnecessary humility, but in humbleness of mind. And I will take the fire and destroy your enemies. Your time of peace has come, but more than this, your time of prosperity has come, America," says the Spirit of the Living God!

Francis Frangipane:
"Rule In The Midst Of Your Enemies--Crush Satan With The Victory Of Peace!"
"There is a place of walking with God where you simply 'fear no evil.'"
True peace does not come from extreme indifference, nor does it originate from becoming so "spiritual" that you fail to notice the world around you. Peace is the fruit of being confident in God's love; it is born of the revelation that, regardless of the battle, "...greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world" (1 John 4:4). You are not self-assured, you are God-assured.
The God Of Peace Will Crush Satan
To wage effective spiritual warfare, we must understand and use spiritual authority. Spiritual authority, however, is not forcing your will upon another person. When you have spiritual authority, you have established God's peace in an area that once was full of conflict and oppression. Therefore, to truly be able to move in authority, we must first have peace.
The apostle Paul taught, "The God of peace will soon crush satan under your feet" (Romans 16:20). When we maintain peace during warfare, it is a crushing deathblow to satanic oppression and fear. Our victory never comes from our emotions or our intellect. Our victory comes by refusing to judge by what our eyes see or our ears hear and by trusting that what God has promised will come to pass.
We will never know Christ's victory in its fullness until we stop reacting humanly to our circumstances. When you truly have authority over something, you can look at that thing without worry, fear or intimidation. Your peace is the proof of your victory. Jesus' authority over the violent storm (see Matthew 8:23-27) was the exercise and expansion of His peace over the elements. He did not fight against the storm, nor did He fear it. He faced its fury and subdued it with His authority in perfect peace.
In Pilate's court, in a world stirred to an emotional frenzy by the powers of hell, a holy tranquility surrounded Christ--peace that was born out of His resolve to do God's will no matter what the cost. His Spirit emanated a calm that perfectly represented the peace at God's throne. In a matter of moments, it was no longer Jesus who was on trial, but satan, Pilate and the religious establishment in Israel.
Satan's arsenal consists of such things as fear, worry, doubt and self-pity. Every one of these weapons robs us of peace and leaves us troubled inside. Do you want to discern where the enemy is coming against you? In the network of your relationships, wherever you do not have peace--you have war. Conversely, wherever you have peace--you have victory. When satan hurls his darts against you, the more peace you have during adversity, the more truly you are walking in Christ's victory.
Paul tells us to be "...in no way alarmed by your opponents--which is a sign of destruction for them, but of salvation for you" (Philipians 1:28). Your peace, your immovable stand upon the Word of God is a sign that you are positioned correctly in focused submission to the will of God. The very fact that you are "in no way alarmed" by your adversary is a sign that you have authority over him.
Peacemakers Are Sons Of God
Peace is spirit power. Peace is an attribute of the Holy Spirit, and when you are walking in peace, you are walking in power. A peacemaker is not merely someone who protests against war; he is one who is inwardly so yielded to Christ in spirit and purpose, that he can be called a son of God (see Matthew 5:9). Where he goes, God goes and where God goes, he goes. A peacemaker is fearless, calm and bold. Peace emanates from him the way light and heat radiate from fire.
In the battles of life, your peace is actually a weapon. Indeed, your confidence declares that you are not falling for the lies of the devil. You see, the first step toward having spiritual authority over the adversary is having peace in spite of our circumstances. When Jesus confronted the devil, He did not confront satan with His emotions or in fear. Knowing that the devil was a liar, He simply refused to be influenced by any other voice than God's. His peace overwhelmed satan. His authority then shattered the lie, which sent demons fleeing.
Rest Before Rule
In the 23rd Psalm, David declared, "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me" (verse 4). There is a place of walking with God where you simply "fear no evil." During his lifetime, David faced many enemies including a lion, a bear and a giant. In this Psalm, he stood in the "shadow of death" itself, yet he feared no evil. David's trust was in the Lord. He said, "You are with me." Because God is with you, every adversity you face will unfold in victory as you maintain your faith in God. David continued, "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies" (verse 5). The battle you are in will soon become a meal to you, an experience that will nourish and build you up spiritually.
Only God's peace will quell your fleshly reactions in battle. The source of God's peace is God Himself. Indeed, "Before the throne there was something like a sea of glass, like crystal" (Revelation 4:6). The glass sea is a symbol--there are no ripples, no waves and no anxieties troubling God. The Lord is never worried, never in a hurry nor without an answer. The sea around Him is perfectly still and totally calm. All our victories flow out from being seated here with Him.
God is our Father. The heavenly Jerusalem is our mother, the birthplace of our new nature (see Galatians 4:26). And you, you are a beloved child of God, part of the Father's family and a member of His household (see Ephesians 2:19). You must know by revelation that you are not struggling to get into Heaven; rather, you were born there in spiritual rebirth (see John 3:1-8). Let your heart be settled and positioned correctly in your relationship with the Almighty.
To those who have been born again from above, He says, "Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet" (Psalm 110:1). Before you go into warfare, recognize that it is not you that the devil is afraid of; it is Christ in you! We have been raised up and seated with Christ in Heavenly places (see Ephesians 2:6). This is why the Holy Spirit continues to speak to us that worship of God is our first response in battle. Position yourself in the presence of God. Sit, at rest, in the knowledge that Christ has already made your enemies the footstool for your feet. From a position of rest, the Word of the Lord continues, "The Lord will stretch forth Your strong scepter from Zion, saying, 'Rule in the midst of Your enemies'" (Psalm 110:2).
Rest precedes rule. Peace precedes power. Do not seek to rule over the devil until you are submitting to God's rule over you. The focal point of all victory comes from seeking God until you find Him, and having found Him, allowing His presence to fill your spirit with His peace. From full assurance at His right hand, as you rest in His victory, so will you rule in the midst of your enemies.

Kathi Pelton:
"The Roosters Are Crowing, 'It's a New Day!'"
The Lord first began to speak to me regarding a "new day" back in February of this year. In January our family lost our house in a fire.
A month after the fire, a Mennonite couple from Pennsylvania heard about our tragedy. Although they had only met me once, the Lord asked them to send us a "prophetic gift." They went on a treasure hunt with the Lord to see what He wanted to say to us and give to us. Then they found it. A rooster!
A couple weeks later a very large box arrived at our house with a Pennsylvania postmark. When I opened it, I found a beautifully crafted, large, ceramic rooster. As I began to lift it from its box, the Spirit of the Lord immediately spoke to me, saying, "A new day is dawning!"
At that time, it was the very message of hope that I needed in the midst of personal loss and extreme weariness.
It's Both Personal and Corporate
Throughout the next few months, I kept that word near to my heart, it was a personal, prophetic word that spoke to me each morning when I would wake up and go into my kitchen and see our rooster. It was like a promise that was repeated, again and again, to my weary soul. I felt that it was a personal word to our family.
Then a friend, who is an intercessory leader in Newfoundland, Canada, asked me if I would look at some notes of hers and help her to write an article about the "midnight watch." As I read through her notes, I was deeply moved by the insight she had received, and the studying she had done about the midnight hour. I sat down to begin to write the article when the Lord began to speak a prophetic word for the Church to me. He said,
"A new day has already begun...the midnight hour has passed! Though the darkness tarries, declare to the people that a new day has dawned. The enemy recognizes this new day and is attempting to take advantage of the darkness that still lingers. He always tries to take advantage of the darkness. But I have called you to walk by faith not by sight. If you will move forward, I will allow you to bring the plans of the enemy to nothing.
Each day it is getting lighter than the day before, but you must have eyes to see and ears to hear My declaration of a New Day. Do not look back; do not say that the darkness has overtaken you, for even the darkness is light to Me. You are My witnesses that I have declared a new day has begun, and I will bring forth new things that you never expected to happen, things that only I can do. Enter into this new day with the expectation of a child...with hopes, dreams, and excitement.
I will accomplish all that I have said I will do, and you will look on as My witnesses. This is a work of grace by My Spirit. It has been grace alone that has ushered you into this new day, and it will be by grace that you will live and accomplish more than you ever imagined...by grace many will be healed and saved."
At the end of hearing this word I could hear, in my spirit, roosters crowing all throughout the world declaring, "It is a new day!"
Noises in the Night
A couple of years ago, my family was on holiday, and we were given a small cottage to stay in. Right outside of our bedroom window, there was a chicken pen, and within that pen was a very loud rooster that would begin crowing right about midnight. My husband and I thought we were going to go crazy with this annoying bird! It would awaken us from our sleep well before the light of day was appearing.
As I've been pondering this hour that we are in, this little picture of the rooster that crowed at the midnight hour has become quite prophetic. As I think upon all the mass initiatives such as The Call Nashville that just took place and will again in Las Vegas on October 20th, or in Canada, The Consecration Call that is currently going on and has representatives from over 30 nations participating, or God's Summer of Love Tour that is going on now, all I can think is, "The roosters are crowing at the midnight hour!"
Just as in the story of the rooster awakening us at midnight with its constant crowing, so are the prophetic voices throughout the nations crowing while it is still dark outside--to awaken the Church to the awareness of a new day.
The New Day Begins At Midnight
Although I believe that we are most likely further into this new day than the midnight hour, I do believe that we are still in the wee hours of the morning when most are still sleeping. But there are always those "early risers" who function best in the darkness of a new day.
These remnants of "early risers" are quite busy at this time in the Church. This is not just any new day, it is a new day that is announcing a whole new way of living. The best way I can say it, is that it is like "the Kingdom of Heaven is coming to Earth."
Remember though, not everyone is an early riser, some are wired by God to stay up late and wake up late...some just finished their shift and are still resting. Don't feel as though you have missed something if you are just becoming aware of this, because just as in the parable of the workers in the field, even those who came in the 11th hour will receive the same pay as those who came in the first hour.
Matthew 20:1-16
"For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire men to work in his vineyard. He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard.
"About the third hour he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. He told them, 'You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.' So they went.
"He went out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour and did the same thing. About the eleventh hour he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, 'Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?'
"'Because no one has hired us,' they answered.
"He said to them, 'You also go and work in my vineyard.'
"When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, 'Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.'
"The workers who were hired about the eleventh hour came and each received a denarius. So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius. When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner. 'These men who were hired last worked only one hour,' they said, 'and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.'
"But he answered one of them, 'Friend, I am not being unfair to you. Didn't you agree to work for a denarius? Take your pay and go. I want to give the man who was hired last the same as I gave you. Don't I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?'
"So the last will be first, and the first will be last."
Miracles Are Coming
This new day will be marked by the miraculous. I believe that we will see miracles like never before--physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
Those who have been on the wrong path will begin to "come to their senses" just because of what God is releasing in this new day. Prayers that have lain dormant for years will all of a sudden be answered. In this awakening, we will see the lost saved, the sick healed, and the prodigals return. This is the day that this generation has been longing for. We have crossed the Jordan after 40 years in the desert, and we are being circumcised and consecrated in this hour to possess the Promised Land.
The Sabbath Day of Rest
I also feel that this new day (season) that we have entered will be like the 7th day of the week and will provide a Sabbath Day of rest to God's people. In the past days we have worked and labored intensely. But this is a day of rest when we will come into seeing the sovereignty of God manifest as we focus on spending time with Him and one another. There has been a great preparation for this day, some of the preparations were of God and others were initiated by men, but all that was "God" will remain and everything else will fall away.
Though we are being awakened, we are awakening in a day of rest. God is asking us to cease striving; it is time to be still before the Lord.
Psalm 46:10
"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."
This rest will be very intimate! Though the activities of God will be seen throughout the world, His people will be enjoying the deepest intimacy with Him and one another that they have ever experienced.
He Leads Me Beside Still Waters
The backdrop for this day is Psalm 23...it will be a backdrop of green pastures and still waters. It is a day where His people have restoration for their souls. It is also a day that He sets a table before us in the presence of our enemies. Will our enemy be present? YES...but we are to rest in this time, knowing that God is preparing a feast for us and He will not be stopped.
Psalms 23
"The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever."
Awaken to the new day, Bride of Christ. This is a Sabbath Day of rest for your soul. His restoration is here for you, His comfort is here for you, and His goodness and love will follow you all the days of your life.
"Good Morning",

Jill Austin:
"STRATEGIES FOR SOLDIERS--ARE WE WILLING TO GO FORWARD IN THE MIDST OF NOT KNOWING HOW?"
As the Lord takes us through boot camp and intensive training, we can ask ourselves a number of questions that help us gauge how well we are growing in our understanding of how to move in the anointing:
--Can I hear the voice of God for myself?
--Am I asking Him to open my ears so I can hear Him?
--Do I trust the nudges that He gives me?
--If I get part of a picture, do I ask Him for more?
--Or do I always feel that I am making it up?
--Have I asked the Lord to give me dreams in the night?
--Have I told Him I am on call any time of the day or night?
--Have I asked Him to wake me in the middle of the night to hear His voice and learn from Him?
We learn by doing. I certainly did not wake up one morning, hear God's voice clearly and step into a ministry that carries me all over the world. Far from it. When I came to the Lord I was so shy and fearful, I was incapable of hugging the person next to me in church. Jesus has done tremendous work in my life about that.
No one wants to make mistakes and hurt people. If, however, we have to have everything lined up perfectly before we step forward in ministry, we will most likely miss the move of the Holy Spirit. We must be willing to go forward in the midst of not knowing how.
God wants His soldiers to be carriers of resurrection life. He wants us to move in ways that help people be saved, healed, and delivered. Who did that best? Jesus, of course. God sent Jesus to reach people in ways that they could relate to. To the fishermen, He talked fish. To the field people, He talked crops. To the tax collectors, He talked money. To a woman with a pitcher, He sat by a well and talked water. He was able to walk alongside anyone and speak his or her language. God is relational, and He trains His soldiers to be like Him.

"But truly, as I live, the whole earth shall be filled with the Glory of the Lord." Numbers 14:21
God's people are experiencing spiritual warfare in increasing measure in these days. Everywhere I go, I meet those who say that the warfare is intensifying. Personal assaults, attacks on our families, on our ministries, relationships, and almost every area of our lives are increasing. I meet people who are battling hopelessness, despair, and at times "feel like" giving up because they are becoming weary.
One of the reasons for this is that our adversary knows his final fate. He certainly knows now, more than ever, his time is short. But, I believe a bigger reason is that the Body of Christ has been in an intense season of contending for the purposes of God and the manifestation of the Kingdom of God to come to earth.
The truth is, we in the western culture are beginning to see the fruit of this and increasing manifestations of the King and His Kingdom. I want to say to each one of you, keep on fighting! I believe that the Lord has shown me a strategy of the enemy. He is doing all he can to get us to focus on our personal issues in order to distract us and keep us from the higher purposes of God. Our loving Father will see us through to victory in every area of our lives. But, we must remember, He has promised that "truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord!" If we allow the enemy to consume us with our own personal problems, we will miss much of what the Lord is doing in these days. That does not mean we should forget our problems. It's just that we cannot become consumed by them.
There is nothing the enemy can do that will stop our God from fulfilling His promise to cover the earth with the knowledge of the Lord. Let's purpose in our hearts that the enemy will not stop us from being a part of that promise!
The book of Nehemiah is a perfect picture of what the Body of Christ is experiencing today. The people possessed a mandate from God and were on a mission to see the purposes of God fulfilled in their midst. They were in the process of rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem. Their enemies were hitting them with fear, intimidation, and accusation (sound familiar?). I encourage you to read and meditate on the whole book of Nehemiah, but especially chapter four. Let me highlight a few verses:
1 - The enemies were furious 2 - Who do they think they are? Can they really accomplish anything? 3 - Nothing they do will last 4-6 - Prayer, steadfastness, and determination of God's people7-8 - More anger and regrouping by the enemy (he is persistent!) 10 - The despair and discouragement of God's people; there are too many obstacles 11-12 - More scheming and threats by the enemy 13-14 - Rallying and strategizing of God's people; "Do not be afraid of them! Remember the Lord, great and awesome!" Fight!!!!! Fight for your brethren, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses
Precious saints, we will be victorious! Just as the people of God finished the wall miraculously in fifty-two days, we will see more and more of the miraculous of our God working with, in, and through us. Let's go for it!

Martha Canizales:
"YOU MUST SEEK ALL OF HIS HEART, ALL OF HIS MIND, ALL OF HIS SPIRIT"
The following article was written by Martha Canizales, one of our young adults on staff with WhiteDove Ministries. I read her article like a proud father. I was immensely encouraged by the revelation entrusted to her and her desire to know the Lord fully. I pray you will be equally as encouraged.
Paul Keith Davis Neville Johnson recently spoke at the WhiteDove Ministries' "Preparing for Harvest" conference in May about the passing of His daughter, who was my age when she gave up her life as seed for the harvest. He challenged every young person to make a decision to be a son of the Kingdom and sign up for the Lord's end time army. I was moved to not let all the seeds of those that have given up their lives for the Gospel go to waste. There is a special grace being released to those that are determined; those that are hungry. God is offering that special relationship. He is inviting us as sons of the Kingdom to walk with Him like Enoch did. I aspire to be one that accepts this honorable invitation.
About a week after the conference, the Lord gave me a dream. In the dream I was in an old-style drama theater. There were young people preparing for an outreach in that particular community. I was standing in the very front, just below the stage, facing the audience. I had a clear view of Neville Johnson and his daughter. To my surprise Neville's daughter had a new born baby in her arms. In my dream, I knew it was the daughter that had passed away.
Another thing that I was a little surprised by was that his daughter had medium brown hair; I was surprised at this simply because Neville has sandy blondish hair. My ears were in tune with what they were saying even though they were in the middle of the drama theater. And his daughter kept kissing his cheek and saying "you're my hero" several times. Just then a young guy came up to Neville and was somehow trying to impress him saying, "You've got to seek Him with all of your heart, with all of your mind, and with all of your soul" (Scripture says "Love" versus "seek" in this particular passage found in several places Matthew 22:37).
Neville turned to him and responded, as he and his daughter stood up and began to walk towards the front where I was standing and watching. There was a door to the right of where I was standing. And he said, "No, it's not like that. You see, you must first seek all of HIS heart, all of HIS mind, and all of HIS Spirit. And if you do this," he paused for just a second and turned to me, his eyes peering into mine with intensity, seriousness, and authority, and said, "It will BLOW your MIND away!" According to 1 Corinthians 2:9-11:
"No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him, but God has revealed it to us by His Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God."
As soon as the last word left his mouth, my mind was struck by the unseen force of wisdom and understanding. It was so shocking and overwhelming that I held my head and crouched into a fetal position, even grinding my teeth. In that moment I had some understanding that we must stop trying to seek God from within our own soulish ways, without faith in who He IS and start seeking what is inside of Him; which is the Spirit of Truth, placing the attention and focus on Him.
We must seek all of His heart (His Love, His Grace, His Compassion, The purposes of His heart), all of His mind (His perception, His wisdom, His knowledge, His plans), and all of His Spirit (Read 1 Corinthians 2:6-16).
Hebrews 11:5-6 declares:
"By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death; he could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek HIM."
When we do this, we are enabled to obey His first and greatest commandment to "Love the Lord with all of your heart, mind, soul, and strength", along with the second commandment to "Love your neighbor as yourself." Neville's words to me simply, yet powerfully, meant---don't just get to know about Him, but get to KNOW HIM fully! In that place, you will not only know what Love is, but you will become Love. No longer just in knowledge but in reality.
When we get to know the Lord in His entirety we see His beauty, His kindness, His majesty, and we cannot help but in that moment love Him with our entire being! When we begin to "know" the thoughts and purposes in His heart we are then compelled to line up with those plans and become Harvesters for the Kingdom. Toward the end of the dream, Neville and his daughter and grandchild walked through the brightly lit doorway that was to the right of where I was standing.
The interpretation is not all clear to me, but here is the gist of what I feel some of the interpretation might be.
I believe the first part where the young people were getting ready for the outreach symbolizes preparation for the harvest to come. And it's coming soon! But getting to know God and His purposes are a big part of the harvest. The young guy who was trying to impress Neville with knowledge of Scripture, I think represents our generation. We give the impression that we know it all, but deep down, we are hungry for understanding and wisdom. Neville, I believe represented leadership, whose responsibility is to lead and encourage us to go after the Lord with our entirety, and challenge us to really KNOW HIM and line up with His will. The grandchild represented the seed that many saints have sown throughout history.
I pray that all of us are encouraged to go after HIM with everything that is within us. By accepting the invitation into this special relationship, The Lord will empower us during the harvest season.

Bobby Conner:
"WE STAND ON THE VERGE OF THE LARGEST HEALING MOVEMENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE CHURCH!"
I have experienced the outstanding privilege of being in ministry meetings when suddenly the entire room would be filled with the overwhelming smell of fresh baked bread. In most of the cases when this occurred, we would experience marvelous manifestations of divine healing. Jesus states that healing is the children's bread (see Mark 7:27). This bread for the sick and hurting is the Lord Jesus serving the bread of His Presence, for He is the Healer. The Holy Spirit is releasing an awesome anointing for healing in our day; this anointing is going to be placed upon the Body of Christ.
In a prophetic visitation the Lord said to me, "Tell the Church, ready or not here I come, and I have a gift in My hand--it is the gift of healing. It will be placed upon the Body, not just upon somebody." We have witnessed the marvelous gift of healing move and minister while resting upon somebody. For example, Benny Hinn moves in an awesome gift of healing and miracles. This is wonderful, and we so appreciate all God is doing through this wonderful man of God. However, what is coming will be far more awesome--a powerful anointing of healing and mighty miracles moving upon the entire Body of believers. Many years ago, I was sent by the Lord to prophesy to Benny Hinn, telling him that soon there would come a day when children would be moving in the power and anointing he is walking in. I will never forget his response...His eyes danced and sparkled as he said with absolute joy, "Bobby, I know, the Lord has also told me that! Let us pray for that day to fall upon us now."
We stand on the very verge of the largest healing movement in the history of the Church. One of the reasons this healing anointing is coming is that we are going to need it. It is time to pray for Heaven's bread to be served in our meetings--offering prayer for the sick, anointing with oil, praying the prayer of faith, and expecting the Lord to manifest Himself as the Bread of Heaven given for our healing.
Bread For The Sinful And Hungry
In Exodus 16, God answered the cry of His people for bread as they journeyed in the wilderness. This pure, white, round bread that God caused to rain down from Heaven upon His hungry people as they griped and grumbled about their wilderness walk, was a foreshadow or reflection of Christ Jesus. For example, it came down from God out of Heaven; it was white, which speaks of purity; it was round speaking of being endless, eternal. Christ declares that He is indeed the Bread sent down from Heaven.
"I am the Bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst" (John 6:35). How grateful we are to God for His wonderful provision of the Bread of Heaven. Only as we receive and partake of Him do we have true life. None need to starve or stumble in darkness, since we have been given the Light of the World and the true Bread of Life for our wilderness journey.
Sharing Heaven's Bread
It is time also to share the Bread of Heaven with hungry, hurting humanity. Our world is starving and desperate for Heaven's Bread, the Living Christ. There is a remarkable story recorded in the seventh chapter of second Kings. Here we see people in the midst of a great famine. Never had there been such a desperate time. People were even stooping to cannibalism, eating their own children (see 2 Kings 6:25-29).
In the midst of such need, the prophetic word recorded in 2 Kings 7:1 came to God's people. The prophet Elisha stood and declared boldly, "Hear the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord, 'Tomorrow about this time a seah of fine flour shall be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, at the gate of Samaria.'" This is a bold prophetic statement! Right in the middle of this horrible famine, the prophet announces that on the next day, there will be so much food available that it will almost be given away free.
We are instructed to trust in the Lord and we will be established, and to believe His prophets and we will prosper (see 2 Chronicles 20:20). Notice the response of one of the not so wise leaders in 2 Kings 7:2 who said in so many words, there is no way that even with God's intervention something like this could ever happen. To which Elisha replied you will see it with your eyes, but you will not be one to take part in the provisions. You can see the outcome of this man's unbelief in 2 Kings 7:17-19. He was trampled to death by the people rushing to eat of the food that God had provided. It is shocking and surprising how and who God used to provide such a mighty miracle. We must remember it is in our weakness that God's strength is made perfect, for when we are weak He is strong.
We must be like the four lepers in 2 Kings 7:9. These pitiful, sick, dying men made a choice to change their situation. Asking the question, "Why sit here until we die?", they were compelled to get up, go forward, and seek a change. Can't you see these four pitiful men with advanced leprosy as they stood upon their wounded feet that were infected, filled with painful sores? I can see them as they weakly stand, supporting each other as they attempt to steady their trembling bodies, limping off into the unknown, and knowing only that there must be more than what they are experiencing now. What about you, are you too sick and tired of the lack of spiritual food, are you ready to get up and advance into the unknown? Do you too need to ask yourself, "Am I going to sit here until I die?" We will never seek change if we are content with our situation.
As the lepers entered into the camp of the enemy soldiers who surrounded Jerusalem, they discovered it had been quickly and completely vacated. The enemy, in abject terror, had fled leaving behind not only the tables filled with wonderful bread and foods, but all their wealth. The question is how could four weak, pathetic lepers strike such terror and fear into the hearts of such a formidable foe? The answer is found in 2 Kings 7:5-7. The Lord God had made the foe to hear the sound of a mighty army advancing, bringing about these overwhelming results. When these four men entered the camp there was no opposition at all, only tables of food and tents filled with treasure.
These starving men filled their stomachs full. Then they were filled with another hunger--the need to share what they had found with others. They were gripped with the understanding that they were responsible for sharing, with other starving people, the bread they had found. For those of us to whom the Bread of Heaven has been given, we too must share Him with others. It is the cry of my heart that God will release outstanding grace in order for us to share Heaven's Bread with the hurting and hungry of the world. Amen!
Many Blessings,

Paul Keith Davis:
"RESTORING DESOLATE HERITAGES"
This past June I had the privilege of preaching a Sunday morning service in the church located on the old Alexander Dowie homestead. It was quite invigorating to recount the many historical events that transpired in Zion, Illinois at the turn of the 20th century. There remains a well of healing and a forerunner anointing to catapult us into the fullness of our destiny for this generation. That was the essence of the message I shared that morning.
Being on the Dowie property brought back many revelations the Lord shared with me in 1996. He instructed me about the importance of this man's ministry in relationship to our present calling. Although there was an unfortunate proclamation made at the end of Dowie's life, he remains a pivotal figure used mightily by the Holy Spirit to introduce an entire generation to Jesus Christ as Savior and Healer. He, more than any other figure, helped pave the way for the many healing ministries that emerged during the 20th century outpourings.
In the summer of 1996, I had several dreams and revelations involving Alexander Dowie. Unfortunately, at that time, I had only limited resources involving this man's life and ministry. At the end of that week, Wanda and I flew with Rick Joyner in his private plane to Charlotte for a conference Rick was hosting. When we arrived at their facility, I passed Steve Thomson's office and saw a book lying on the corner of his desk, written by Gordon Lindsay, on the life of Alexander Dowie.
I told Steve that I was actually looking for that book because of revelations the Lord had given me that week concerning Dowie. Steve informed me that during the morning, the Holy Spirit spoke to him concerning this book, and he brought it to his office and set it on his desk moments before my arrival. I felt this was a confirmation of the importance of understanding this heritage that can be brought forward into our day.
Following the conference, Rick flew us back to Alabama, and I took the opportunity on the flight to browse through the book. With the book open in my lap, I noticed a picture in it of a human clock set for the nine o'clock hour. It was taken from an elevated position where hundreds of their followers positioned themselves like a clock with the hour pointing to 9:00 o'clock, as a reminder of their call to an hour of prayer at that time.
At the moment I saw this picture in the book, I peered out the co-pilot seat of the plane and noticed a farmer's field of about 160 acres that had been uniquely cultivated and fashioned as a clock with each of the twelve hours of the clock highlighted. I am not even certain which State we were over but the odds of such a thing were incredible while looking at a picture taken in 1900 of the exact image.
I knew this was God's additional confirmation concerning something important we are to capture from Dowie's ministry.
Discovering Jesus the Healer
One of the most important revelations given to this man came at a time of great desperation. While pastoring a small church outside Sidney, Australia, a horrible plague broke out in the region. People were dying by the scores with Dowie performing over 40 funerals among his own congregation.
Finally, late one evening in complete exhaustion and desperation, he turned to the Lord for an answer to this excruciating dilemma. Dowie wrote of this encounter saying:
"I sat with sorrow-bowed head for my afflicted people, until the bitter tears came to relieve my burning heart. Then I prayed for some message, and oh, how I longed to hear some words from Him Who wept and sorrowed for the sufferings long ago, a Man of Sorrows and of Sympathies. Then the Words of the Holy Ghost inspired in Acts 10:38 stood before me all radiant with light, revealing satan as the defiler and Christ as the Healer. My tears were wiped away, my heart was strong, I saw the way of healing and the door thereto was opened wide."
Acts 10:38 declares, "You know of Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him."
At the moment he read this passage a supernatural revelation was imparted to his soul. Although he had read this verse numerous times before, this time he read it with Spirit eyes that brought it to life. He recognized that the devil was the author of sickness and oppression while Jesus is the Healer -- Jesus went about doing good and healing all who are oppressed of the devil.
Disdain for Sickness
That revelation created hatred in Dowie's soul for sickness and oppression. No sooner had that revelation settled in when a knock came at the door requesting his presence, because another young lady stood on the brink of death from the plague.
Dowie recorded in his periodical "Leaves of Healing" how he bolted from the house without overcoat or hat, running to the bedside of this young lady, but this time with supernatural faith for her deliverance. The young lady was writhing and grinding her teeth in agony when Dowie arrived. Although the doctor present gave no hope for her survival, Dowie rebuked that report and commanded the illness to leave the woman.
He did not merely pray a wishful thinking prayer but had the revelation in his heart that it was the devil who was tormenting this young lady and that the Lord desired to heal her. Instantly the young lady fell into a deep sleep. Many present felt she had died, but Dowie assured them she was healed. Later she rose from her sleep and ate a full meal. From that day forward, not another one of Dowie's congregation died from the epidemic.
This revelation, born out of desperation, launched one of the greatest healing ministries of the late 19th and early 20th century church. Alexander Dowie went on to establish numerous houses of healing, founded the city of Zion, IL, and prophesied many technological advancements such as the development of television and radio. Numerous notable leaders of the early 20th century emerged from Dowie's ministry and mentorship.
This is the desolate heritage that is to be restored in this day as we press in to the Lord, as both Savior and Healer, during the harvest age.

Bill Yount:
"I Heard It Through the Grapevine--Joshua and Caleb were OBSESSED with Looking for FRUIT!"
Numbers 13:20 "And be ye of good courage and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first ripe grapes."
It's interesting that the spies were sent in to spy out the Promised Land when the first grapes of the season were ripe. I sense the Lord wanted all twelve spies to focus on the fruit of that land and not the giants. I am sure Joshua and Caleb kept hearing how big the giants and walled up cities were from those ten spies while they were taking their tour. I believe Joshua and Caleb got to thinking, "If the giants are really that big, can you imagine how big that fruit must be?" Joshua and Caleb were obsessed, looking for the fruit of the land of promise. What we look for is what we will find. They came back with a cluster of grapes so big, it took two men to carry one cluster on a pole out of the valley of Eschol.
GOD CALLED THE LAND THAT WAS FULL OF HEATHEN GIANTS AND UNGODLY CITIES, WALLED UP TO HEAVEN "A GOOD LAND THAT FLOWS WITH MILK AND HONEY!"
Psalm 27:13 "I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living."
If we are ever going to enter our Promised Land we must see the good in our nation, our government officials, our cities and the good in every person we meet! We may have to use Scripture (Romans 4:17) to see the good, and call those things that are not as though they already were!
Romans 2:4 "It's the goodness of the Lord that leads men to repentance."
Did you know that God chooses to see the good in you, and not the evil? Ask the father of the prodigal son what he saw when his son came wandering up the road to home, and said, even when he was still in the pigpen of sin, "That's my son!" Be careful of what comes out of your mouth when you see heathens rage and sin in people's lives increasing. It was what came out of the mouth of the ten spies that kept all of Israel from entering into their inheritance!
It's the same for us today. If our mouths can keep us out of our inheritance, then our mouths can take us in! Let's look for the good and speak of what is good in the land of the living!
THE "CLUSTER" OF GRAPES WAS THE KEY TO GETTING BACK INTO THE PROMISED LAND
I noticed that Joshua and Caleb still stuck it out with that unbelieving bunch of "sour" grapes that eventually dried up in the wilderness and became raisins. God separated Joshua and Caleb from them, later in His timing, and they finally got to enter into their inheritance. But they hung in there, for they knew the key to get back into the Promised Land was to stay together and let the process prepare them for what was ahead.
Isaiah 65:8 "...as the new wine is found in the cluster, destroy it not; for a blessing is in it."
God has a corporate vision right now for His Kingdom in the earth, so we must be in a cluster of believers, and we must connect with churches, tribes, tongues, and nations--for God is too big for just our ministry, church, or home group. I sense that what God has in mind is beyond us. This new wine cannot be made from just one grape--one ministry, one church, or one vision. Without connecting to the cluster, your life and ministry is bound to dry up.
I SAW THE HANDS OF GOD COMING UPON THIS CLUSTER OF GRAPES OF THE NATIONS...HIS HANDS ARE ABOUT TO BLESS US BEYOND MEASURE
I saw some pressure coming upon this huge cluster of grapes where you and I were placed by the hand of God. We first thought the pressure was coming from the enemy or other grapes in this cluster, but I clearly saw the hands of God begin to squeeze this cluster to make the best new wine that He was saving for this last, end-time, harvest revival.
You can always tell when God is about to make new wine from the cluster where you are placed...some grapes will begin to "wine."
IT'S TIME WE SAY TO THE GRAPE NEXT TO US...GOD IS SMARTER THAN YOU AND I!
As His hands continued to put pressure on us in this cluster, some grapes began to cry out, "Oh, God, I can't handle this bunch You put me with. Please get me out of here!" The Lord responded, "I will, My way, just hang in there!" As more pressure was put on this cluster, some grapes began to cry out. "Lord, I am not being appreciated here. These grapes around me seem to be hindering my gifting, calling, and dream You have given me. I seem to be losing my identity." The Lord says, "You are right on schedule. You have been too thin-skinned, and your brokenness is a must for what I am about to do. If you lose your life, you will find it in Me!" Most of the grapes in this cluster had no idea what God was really up to. More than our dreams, plans, and ministries, God seems to be after something more than we could understand. I think it is time we say to the grape next to us, "God is smarter than you and I!"
"THE ANOINTING FOR THE HARVEST OF THE NATIONS IS IN THE 'CLUSTER' OF GRAPES!"
As the hand of God kept squeezing this cluster, many grapes were broken to pieces. The juice of the grapes dripped down from the cluster into the earth, becoming the new wine for the great harvest of the nations.

Kim Clement:
"AMERICA, YOUR GREATEST HOUR IS UPON YOU!"
From Steve Shultz:
Kim Clement is not only a friend, I have been to his home in California and I've seen his life.
I trust what he gets from the Lord. And though he often doesn't fully know what his words mean as they come out of his prophetic spirit, they do mean something VERY IMPORTANT. I've often seen things happen that Kim prophesied, but they rarely look exactly like we expect.
God speaks in riddles. It's our job to be prophetic riddle solvers. The Word says it's the Glory of God to conceal a matter and the glory of Kings (you and me) to seek them out.
Kim is holding a very important, dynamic event (see below, after the word) in Beverly Hills called SECRETS on August 5.
If I were you, I wouldn't wait until it's too late to get in. Kim is one of the highest level prophets I've ever known. If I wasn't 1,000 miles away, I would go to every event.
Enjoy this encouraging prophetic word, and then, go to Beverly Hills if you can. But you better register right away!

"North Korea is only the beginning of the submission of the nations. China is looking upon this nation now and saying, 'If they are afraid, and they are internally divided and cannot fulfill what they have said concerning Iraq and the Middle East, then we shall surely stand to win against them.'" Again, says the Lord, "What do I say about this? A leader in the East, in Asia, shall suddenly topple over in the presence of cameras and the network."
God says, "This will be a sign. This must not be taken lightly. During these summer months and before the election, I will be exposing certain ones. Three to four nations that I've said before shall follow suit. They say our arms will be laid down. America shall finally win the battle, even though you will continually be hated. Hatred," says the Spirit of God, "shall never conclude its action successfully. I have now sent a Word to this nation again and I have done it over and over. I will cause these next few months to be months of great victory and exposure, the secrets of the Lord shall be revealed. I will capture those who have captured. I will terrorize those who have terrorized. I will bring justice over and over and over.
"America shall be on her knees because of the wind that I am sending that shall cause a cleansing to take place that could never have happened had there not been the sound of victory in the voices of the people as they praised in the midst of fear, in the midst of terror. Rejoice, for this year, many great breakthroughs will cause My people to say, 'it has begun—it surely has begun. The season has come, it is upon us, and it has begun.'"
"I will open up the heavens and send the rain and the wind. Can you hear the sound, can you hear the sound of the wind? I will send the wind to you just like the day of Pentecost. As they were in one accord, they heard the sound that came. Hear the sound I'm sending to this nation. I'm sending a sound of triumph, of victory to this nation. I'm sending a sound of victory to your nation. Your accusers have said they will come, the terrorists have said they will come and destroy in the summer months of this nation. Watch me," says the Lord, "I will protect this nation again. I will reveal and expose where they are hidden, again and again and again. Do you hear the sound of victory for this nation? I can hear the sound of a mighty army. Can you hear the sound? I can hear the sound of a mighty army, tens of thousands of angels. Can you hear the sound?"
"Your military power shall never die, nor shall it wane, but the spiritual militant power has risen above your natural military power." God says, "Because of this, I will speed up and accelerate your victory. Hidden in the third cave of the Pakistan border, I will sniff out and draw out many of those that have hidden themselves. There will be two deaths in Pakistan; the Spirit of God says it shall cause havoc.
"I will bring peace to this nation as it has never ever experienced. Do not fear, your borders are protected, your schools are protected, your children are protected, your jets are protected, your air space is protected, your seas are protected, your land is protected, My people are protected. For this day, the God of the universe hears your praise and sends the fire of God to Pakistan. It is time for the exposure says the Spirit of the Living God. Rejoice America, your restoration has begun. Now I will pay back," says the Spirit of the Lord, "for vengeance is mine. I will pay back your enemies by putting you on the top; economically I will drive you back to the highest place, as I do what I'm going to do with your energy crisis. You will have the Middle East come to you and say 'Will you share with us what you have discovered?'"
"What is this that I hear, an independent that arises--a switch in power? God says, listen, righteousness shall prevail in the streets of America, and in the White House, nothing will be determined without My counsel. They shall plan but ultimately, it is I," says the Lord, "that will determine the outcome. There will be a very strange move of My Spirit amongst the children of this nation. Come to me like a little child, and I will raise you up. There will be praise in summer. There will be rain in summer. There will be joy in summer. I'll send the rain and the wind. The spirits of men will pray, the spirits of men will rejoice. It's the end of a season, the beginning of something everyone's been waiting for. America, your greatest hour is upon you."
