Intercede for the lost and those who have fallen away from Christ



Moments ago I finished reading an article about a very influential Christian man who turned back into the world. Immediately I began to cry as I pressed into intercession for him. While I prayed, I sensed the heart of the Father grieved that someone who said that they loved and honored Him would in a matter of a few short years turn back as if they never been in a relationship at all. Beloved this is not a post to bring condemnation, however it is one to help raise awareness that we have truly entered the times where many will began to fall away and their love will wax cold for the true and living God. 

As Christians, now more than ever it is imperative that we continue to intercede for the incoming harvest, but most importantly we must continue to lift up those in the faith who may be facing struggles that cause their faith to be shaken beyond repair. The Bible tells us in Matthew 24: 9-14 “9Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.   

Our lives are truly living epistles and someone is watching and waiting for a sign that the God we say we serve is really real. While the earth continues to groan we must continue to be a light that is not only obedient but also full of the Sovereign Father’s glory.  While many more will eventually fall away in the days to come, let us all make sure that we are doing our very best through the grace of the Father to win the lost to Christ and to also help cover and gird up the people of God who are at a point of weakness in their faith.


Prayer: 

Dear Father, 

We thank you and give you glory. We honor you for who you are to us. We honor you for all that you have done. At this time we come before you lifting up the lost as well as our brothers and sisters who are one step away from falling away. Father we thank you for your son Jesus who paid a hefty price for the whole world that all might receive the free gift of salvation. We ask that you intervene today and begin to touch lives so that people may have an encounter with you that will change them forever. Father we thank you for household salvation which includes our family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and anyone we are connected to. 

Thank you for giving our Christian brothers and sisters strength to stand upon your word. Help them to know that someone cares. Help them to know that you love them and you desire the very best for them. Thank you for the opportunity to stand in the gap so that someone can get to know you in a brand new way. In Jesus name, amen.

Reject the Spirit of Fear


Job 3:25 (NIV)

25 “For the thing I greatly feared has come upon me and what I dreaded has happened to me. 26 I am not at ease, nor am I quiet; I have no rest, for trouble comes.”

1 John 4:18 (NIV)

18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.”

Job was a man who walked upright before God. So when trouble visited his home, he immediately went into a time of fasting and consecration before God.  What he did not know was the conversation that God had in Heaven concerning His character and His love and heart for Him. In the referenced scripture Job recounted to his friends how the very things that he feared the most had now come to past in his life.

Today, I have been commanded to share with you that as a child of God it is now time to reject the spirit of fear completely. Don’t allow fear on any level to dictate your day. It has no place, and it has no power over what God has already promised you He will do in your life.

Prophetic Utterance:

"Reject the spirit of fear today, and allow for your mind to be at rest. The perfect love of God on the inside of you will keep you grounded in the abundance of His grace." 2-11-2014 @ 3:07 PM

Prayer:

Father, we come into your presence lifting you up and honoring you as the Sovereign God that you are. Today, we reject, we renounce and we no longer allow for the spirit of fear to operate in any area of  our lives. In exchange, we accept , we receive and we embrace your pure love  along with a sound mind.  No more doubt or disbelief, for we now walk in our divine release.  In Jesus name, amen.


Blessings

JESUS (No Longer a Babe in a Manger)

Merry Christmas Blessings to each of you. In honor of our beautiful guest of honor, I would like to share a poem I wrote after Christmas 2004. Blessings & love, enjoy.


JESUS (No Longer a Babe in a Manger)

Jesus my strength, my strongtower, my intercessor and my King.
You're my peace, my joy and most definitely my everything.

Jesus the sweet lamb of God
Lion of the tribe of Judah.
You're seated at the right hand of the Father God
where no one else can move You.

Jesus no longer a babe in a manger
wrapped in swaddlin ' clothes.
You're the Prince of Peace and the Lord of Lords
who came to save lost souls.

Jesus no longer a babe in a manger,
who was at the beginning before it was ever begun.
You were born to die upon a ruggard cross,
so through salvation we could become one.

Time to Recalibrate: End of the Year~2012



Ezekiel 36: 26-27 "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes and you will keep My judgments and do them. Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; you shall be My people, and I will be your God."


As we come to the close of 2012, there is not one person who can honestly say that this has not been a year where the Sovereign Father has been establishing His divine governmental order. From the beginning of January up to this very moment, God has been working out front and behind the scenes strategically aligning and setting order within the earth. Whether you personally embraced or rejected what the Father has been doing during this year, the word of God tells us in Philippians 2:10 "that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth." So if, you have been slow to flow and walk in unison and obedience to His personal instructions for your life, you still have a little time left to do so.

While in the spirit on December 8th, I saw myself praying and interceding for a group of people. As I prayed for this particular group, Father began to reveal that there was a need for the people to recalibrate in order to get back in tune with His divine purpose and original plan for their lives. As first partaker, of any vision or word released to me, I immediately reflected on the areas in my life where I needed to make some adjustments as well. Following is divine wisdom shared to help you to recalibrate in the coming weeks.

The word calibration is described in the Free Dictionary as:

Noun 1.calibration - the act of checking or adjusting (by comparison with a standard) the accuracy of a measuring instrument; "the thermometer needed calibration"
activity - any specific behavior; "they avoided all recreational activity"
tuning - (music) calibrating something (an instrument or electronic circuit) to a standard frequency readjustment, adjustment, registration - the act of adjusting something to match a standard

As we can see, in order to properly calibrate, an instrument would have to be checked or adjusted in order to match a given standard. The given standard for which the instrument is being measured can vary of course due to the type of instrument being used. To understand a little more about the given standard in the calibration process, we first would have to ask ourselves these questions: 1. Who designed the standards in which the instrument is being measured by? and 2. How are these specific standards met?

In order to answer these questions, we would first have to gain insight on how the calibration process works. "The calibration process begins with the design of the measuring instrument that needs to be calibrated. The design has to be able to "hold a calibration" through its calibration interval. In other words, the design has to be capable of measurements that are "within engineering tolerance" when used within the stated environmental conditions over some reasonable period of time. Having a design with these characteristics increases the likelihood of the actual measuring instruments performing as expected. 

The exact mechanism for assigning tolerance values varies by country and industry type. The measuring equipment manufacturer generally assigns the measurement tolerance, suggests a calibration interval and specifies the environmental range of use and storage. The using organization generally assigns the actual calibration interval, which is dependent on this specific measuring equipment's likely usage level. A very common interval in the United States for 8–12 hours of use 5 days per week is six months. That same instrument in 24/7 usage would generally get a shorter interval. The assignment of calibration intervals can be a formal process based on the results of previous calibrations."

Reference:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calibration

Now we can go back to answer the two questions which were posed earlier. After reading how the calibration process works we can now see that 1. The using organization (United States) is the one who assigns the actual calibration interval in the above description, and 2. The measuring equipment manufacturer assigns the measurement tolerance for which the instrument is to be measured by.

So, how does all of this information translate over into the Spirit? First, the Sovereign Father is of course viewed as the equipment manufacturer who assigned the measurement for tolerance. Secondly, the using organization who assigns the calibration intervals would be none other than the precious Holy Spirit. And finally, we the people of God (vessels) can be viewed as the instruments which go through the initial calibration process and the periodic recalibrations that follow.

As instruments of God when did we first get calibrated?

We received our initial calibration when we were created and designed by the very hand of the Sovereign Father.

How do we know when it's time to go in to be recalibrate?

When, our instrument (body) can no longer measure or give an accurate reading of the environment we are designed to bring balance to, it's time to recalibrate. 

To get to a place where we are truly aligned and in sync with the Sovereign Father, we must first embrace and obediently participate in this process. Several years ago I worked for a company which did infrared thermography for companies and systems all over the world. One of my job assignments was to send out equipment which was scheduled for monthly or bi-monthly calibration. Interesting to note, sometimes the company that did the calibration would call back to the office to say, that they could not calibrate a particular instrument because there was a non working part or something was broken. It was at that moment that a decision had to be made to replace the inoperable part, otherwise they would send it back and we would place it in our defective pile. 

For the times that I missed sending something out, I would have to place a note on the instrument to let the engineers know that an instrument could not be used that month because it would produce an inaccurate reading. The same holds true for the people of God. If there is something on the inside of us broken or inoperable, it is imperative that we embrace the instructions received from the Holy Spirit. Once we follow our instructions and allow for some inner work to be done, we are now recalibrated and can be used by God for His glory. 

It is my prayer that what has been shared has not only enlightened you but has spiritually provoked you to move into action to get back in realignment and in sync with the Sovereign Father. As the scripture from Ezekiel 36:26-27 reads, "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; you shall be My people, and I will be your God."

FOCUS and complete the work

This morning in intercession for the Body of Christ, Father led me to intercede concerning an increase in the spirit of Sanballat and Tobiah that has been moving forth rapidly not only in the Body  but also in natural families as well. This word serves as a message of encouragement for those who not only have been victims of the spirit of sabotage but also for those who have also unknowingly worked to self sabotage God's plans for their own lives. 

When dealing with this spirit, some of the major key components you can use when breaking and destroying the fruit of this work is through daily prayer, intercession, fasting, repentance and lastly embracing the process of forgiveness. No matter if your role was that of the transgressor or the victim, know that today is a brand new day and this spirit will no longer have free access to work in or against your life.

Following is the scriptural reference from the book of Nehemiah that you can read at your leisure. Know that the plans and work of God that you have been assigned to do here in the earth will reach its completion as you set your focus on the Sovereign Father.


Blessings & love,

Opposition to the Rebuilding 
Nehemiah 4 NIV

1When Sanballat heard that we were rebuilding the wall, he became angry and was greatly incensed. He ridiculed the Jews, 2and in the presence of his associates and the army of Samaria, he said, “What are those feeble Jews doing? Will they restore their wall? Will they offer sacrifices? Will they finish in a day? Can they bring the stones back to life from those heaps of rubble—burned as they are?” 3Tobiah the Ammonite, who was at his side, said, “What they are building—if even a fox climbed up on it, he would break down their wall of stones!” 4Hear us, O our God, for we are despised. Turn their insults back on their own heads. Give them over as plunder in a land of captivity. 5Do not cover up their guilt or blot out their sins from your sight, for they have thrown insults in the face of the builders.

6So we rebuilt the wall till all of it reached half its height, for the people worked with all their heart.7But when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites and the men of Ashdod heard that the repairs to Jerusalem’s walls had gone ahead and that the gaps were being closed, they were very angry. 8They all plotted together to come and fight against Jerusalem and stir up trouble against it. 9But we prayed to our God and posted a guard day and night to meet this threat. 10Meanwhile, the people in Judah said, “The strength of the laborers is giving out, and there is so much rubble that we cannot rebuild the wall.”

11Also our enemies said, “Before they know it or see us, we will be right there among them and will kill them and put an end to the work.” 12Then the Jews who lived near them came and told us ten times over, “Wherever you turn, they will attack us.”13Therefore I stationed some of the people behind the lowest points of the wall at the exposed places, posting them by families, with their swords, spears and bows. 14After I looked things over, I stood up and said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, “Don’t be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes.” 15When our enemies heard that we were aware of their plot and that God had frustrated it, we all returned to the wall, each to his own work.

16From that day on, half of my men did the work, while the other half were equipped with spears, shields, bows and armor. The officers posted themselves behind all the people of Judah 17who were building the wall. Those who carried materials did their work with one hand and held a weapon in the other, 18and each of the builders wore his sword at his side as he worked. But the man who sounded the trumpet stayed with me. 19Then I said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, “The work is extensive and spread out, and we are widely separated from each other along the wall.  

20Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, join us there. Our God will fight for us!” 21So we continued the work with half the men holding spears, from the first light of dawn till the stars came out. 22At that time I also said to the people, “Have every man and his helper stay inside Jerusalem at night, so they can serve us as guards by night and workmen by day.” 23Neither I nor my brothers nor my men nor the guards with me took off our clothes; each had his weapon, even when he went for water.


Further Opposition to the Rebuilding
Nehemiah 6 NIV 

1 When word came to Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arab and the rest of our enemies that I had rebuilt the wall and not a gap was left in it—though up to that time I had not set the doors in the gates— 2 Sanballat and Geshem sent me this message: “Come, let us meet together in one of the villages on the plain of Ono.”But they were scheming to harm me; 3 so I sent messengers to them with this reply: “I am carrying on a great project and cannot go down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and go down to you?” 4 Four times they sent me the same message, and each time I gave them the same answer.5 Then, the fifth time, Sanballat sent his aide to me with the same message, and in his hand was an unsealed letter  

6 in which was written: “It is reported among the nations—and Geshem says it is true—that you and the Jews are plotting to revolt, and therefore you are building the wall. Moreover, according to these reports you are about to become their king 7 and have even appointed prophets to make this proclamation about you in Jerusalem: ‘There is a king in Judah!’ Now this report will get back to the king; so come, let us confer together.”8 I sent him this reply: “Nothing like what you are saying is happening; you are just making it up out of your head.”9 They were all trying to frighten us, thinking, “Their hands will get too weak for the work, and it will not be completed.”[But I prayed,] “Now strengthen my hands.”

10 One day I went to the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel, who was shut in at his home. He said, “Let us meet in the house of God, inside the temple, and let us close the temple doors, because men are coming to kill you—by night they are coming to kill you.”11But I said, “Should a man like me run away? Or should one like me go into the temple to save his life? I will not go!” 12 I realized that God had not sent him, but that he had prophesied against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him. 13 He had been hired to intimidate me so that I would commit a sin by doing this, and then they would give me a bad name to discredit me.14 Remember Tobiah and Sanballat, O my God, because of what they have done; remember also the prophetess Noadiah and the rest of the prophets who have been trying to intimidate me.

The Completion of the Wall 

15 So the wall was completed on the twenty-fifth of Elul, in fifty-two days. 16 When all our enemies heard about this, all the surrounding nations were afraid and lost their self-confidence, because they realized that this work had been done with the help of our God.17 Also, in those days the nobles of Judah were sending many letters to Tobiah, and replies from Tobiah kept coming to them. 18 For many in Judah were under oath to him, since he was son-in-law to Shecaniah son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan had married the daughter of Meshullam son of Berekiah. 19 Moreover, they kept reporting to me his good deeds and then telling him what I said. And Tobiah sent letters to intimidate me.

Changing of the Guard Part II



Scripture Reference: 1 Samuel 17 (Read whole chapter)
David Defeats Goliath


Father chose this day to reveal and release greater clarity and wisdom concerning a message scribed December 11, 2011. Following is the message in its entirety. “There is a new sound coming forth and it is moving quite rapidly. It is a sound that is not like the sounds of our past, but a sound that has been strategically set for this day and time. This sound will precede the new thing that God is doing within the earth. This sound; although made available for all to hear, will only be heard by those who desire to move forth into the deeper things of God.

There is now coming forth a changing of the guard. Just as the seasons change and there is a visual picture of what that particular season is to the natural eye. This changing of the guard first began in the spirit and is now connecting and manifesting in the natural. Many will not be able to see the change because they are not concerned with the things of the spirit, but caught up in the things of the world. The changing of the guard has come to help propel the church into its next place in God.

There is no need to be afraid or alarmed at what you see because God is well aware of the change, for He is orchestrating it. This new sound will arise and move forth through those chosen for this time and season. Those who have been hidden and covered by the hand of God will began to arise and go forth with what has already been preordained by the Lord. Prophets, Prophetic Scribes, Minstrels, Poets, Writers, and Dancers will come out of hiding to take their place in this changing of the guard. The anointing of God will flow forth freely as these chosen vessels will go forth with confidence, holy boldness and determination to complete the work that has been given unto their hands to do.

###

This morning, as I sat before the Lord, I was led to the book of 1 Samuel, chapter 17. As I began to read and mediate upon the first few verses of the word of God, my spirit was quickened to the word scribed back in December. As I prayed concerning the connection, I immediately picked up my pen to hand scribe what the Father was releasing.

Following is a word of wisdom from August 20, 2012 for your encouragement and comfort.

When Goliath and the Philistine army rose up to do battle with Israel, they had no idea that this would serve as a hard and costly lesson. In their quest to bring open shame, fear and harm to the people of God, the Philistine army would themselves fall as a result of their own pride. What they were unaware of is the fact that a “changing of the guard” had taken place out of the public’s eye and behind closed doors. When the Prophet Samuel in 1 Samuel 16:1 was told to fill your horn with oil and be on your way; I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem. I have chosen one of his sons to be king.” He obeyed and then anointed David the son of Jesse as the next king.

David a young man, who tended to the sheep in His father’s pasture, was someone who God was looking for because of his heart. Trained in the wilderness and in the trenches of life, 1 Samuel 7 reveals that, “The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” Unfortunately, looking at the outer appearance of man is exactly what caused Goliath and the Philistine army to fall before Israel in open shame.

David, freshly anointed and full of the boldness of the Lord, rises up to be used in the battle on Israel’s behalf as a true representative of the Almighty God. Not fearful of the enemy and his tactics, David placed his focus on the Sovereignty of God by stating in 1 Samuel 17:47, “it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.” To the surprise of the Philistine and Israel armies and even down to his very own family, God took a young shepherd like David to bring forth His purpose in the earth. In verse 52, it states “then the men of Israel and Judah surged forward with a shout and pursued the Philistines to the entrance of Gath and to the gates of Ekron. Their dead were strewn along the Shaaraim road to Gath and Ekron.  Notice that when David rose up in the timing of God and took his destined place on the front line, Israel’s whole countenance changed. They went from being fearful of the enemy and his tactics to mighty warriors and men of valor.

People of God, in the coming months and leading into the New Year, you will begin to see soldiers who have served for many years in the deep trenches of the fields and in the back of the lines, beginning to move forth strategically and into position. Don’t be alarmed or fearful as many are being promoted by the very hand of God, one after the other.

As this change occurs do not allow envy or jealousy to creep into the recesses of your heart, for this time has been ordained by the Father for the changing of the guard to take place. If Holy Spirit reveal that you do have an issue with those whom the Father is raising up, make haste to seek the face of the Father and resolve the matter with Him privately. Not using godly wisdom while openly expressing your dislike reflects greatly on your character as a set apart vessel of the Sovereign Father.

Understand that those moving into their new positions in this season are people who just like David, have served faithfully in their homes, churches, ministries and in the marketplace assisting others in implementing their God ordained visions. May you be encouraged to know that just like David, these submitted vessels are kingdom minded and will be used by the Father to help usher the Church into this next mighty wave and move of God within the earth.   

Blessings and Love,

Healing for the Emotionally Wounded


You know what? We truly do serve a faithful and awesome Father who is always concerned about every intimate detail of our lives. As you may know I posted on yesterday about Mental Health Awareness month and the importance of checking and knowing your mental health status. This morning when I woke up to prepare for the day, Father wanted me to post additional revelation concerning the emotional wellbeing of His children.

Some of us have recently come out of test, trials and tribulations which have tested our mind, body and spirit down to its very core. In what was designed to break and strip us in every way, the awesome grace of God rushed in like a flood to allow for us to come out of our situation. Many times when we have experienced the hardships of life, we can come out happy that we made it and that’s all that truly matters. But to be truthful how many of us have stood holding up the banner of victory not realizing that we may still have unresolved issues that we have not personally dealt with?  As we take a moment to pause and reflect on this question, let me go further into what Father would like to say on today.

In this new season of overflow and increase, there is a harvest of souls who do not know Jesus but who are awaiting the appointed time for connection with those who will minister and plant the seed of the word of God in their lives. Where we as the people of God come in on this is that we first must deal with any residue or bitterness associated with the events of this past season. Any issues where we have experienced, hurt, pain, rejection or abuse must be acknowledged and then resolved before this huge harvest begins to come forth in the earth.  The time for inner healing is now and the Holy Spirit is readily available to assist us in making sure that we are ready emotionally for this new season.

Some may ask why this is important and what does being emotionally fit and ready has to do with ministry? Well for starters, if we are still living in last season and focused so much on what happened or even who hurt us; there’s no way we can even begin to focus on what’s ahead. Additionally, if we are still dealing with the effects of anger, bitterness or hurt, it will often show up in the way that we minister and relate to others even if we don’t mean to do so intentionally.  So by checking our mental health status, we are ensuring that we are indeed emotionally fit enough to move forth freely with the ordained assignments God has called for us to complete.

The word of God states in John 8:36, “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” We have been given a precious gift and were set free because of what Jesus already carried and endured on the cross for us. When Jesus rose up with all power and the keys to the kingdom in His hands, He gave us the necessary tools which would help us stand strong when we are faced with the adversities and trials of life.  Does having the necessary tools discount what we have experienced emotionally in this last season? No, not all at because we are spirit beings living in a natural body, it’s a normal process of life for us to express in a positive or negative manner that which we may be experiencing at any given moment. Even Job after losing nearly everything he had was given the opportunity to deal with any residue in his life before God blessed him with a double portion. (See Job 42:1-6)

Prayerfully now you can see how extremely important it is to always check your mental health status after coming out of a physically or spiritually draining experience. Our emotional wellbeing and how we feel in every area of our lives will effect how far we can go forth in God.  Coming out of our test or trials full of bitterness will not make us better but coming out standing in the freedom and liberty of Christ will help to propel us to that new place God has already prepared for us to go into.  Now, let us pray,

Heavenly Father, we come before you now with humbled hearts and hands lifted to give you honor and glory. We thank you for your Sovereignty and for your Holiness. You are an incredible Father and we thank you for always being concerned about every area of our lives.  We thank you for your faithfulness and unmerited favor. For without your Grace we would still be stuck in yesterday. O God thank you for what you have allowed for us to experience in this life. We thank you for the good, the bad, the bitter and the sweet. We give you praise for how you allowed for us to be tested that we may be made stronger in you. Father we bless your Holy name and adore you for being the awesome Father that you are. Thank you for choosing us as your very own. Thank you for calling us to your very heart.

May our lives be what you have created and purposed us to be in you. Help us to endure and stand in faith as we go through. Help us to focus in on your goodness and who you are. Help us to know that you will never leave us or forsake us but in all things you always make a way of escape for us. You are the Potter and we are your clay, shape us and make us into the purified vessels you can use for your honor and glory. Father forgive us this day for harboring any anger, bitterness or even jealousy in our hearts associated with what we experienced in our last season. We release all hurt, pain, shame and rejection to you now. We ask that you create in us a clean heart and renew the right spirit within us that we may go forward to declare your goodness to the nations. Father thank you for your healing virtue flowing freely though our hearts, our minds and our spirit.

We thank you that our emotions have been completely surrendered to you. Thank you for freedom through your Son, Christ Jesus. Thank you for restoring our emotional wellbeing on this day, in Jesus name we do pray, Amen.

 
Blessings & love,

America's Change: A Poetic View


Sweet Holy Spirit
(Spiritual Song)

Sweet Holy Spirit, o how you are welcome, o how you are welcome in this place.

Sweet Holy Spirit come fall upon us, fall upon us in this place.

Sweet Holy Spirit, lead us closer, come lead us closer in this place.

Speak forth what you hear from the throne room,
speak forth what God wants us to know.

Reveal the plans of God our Father,
reveal the way back into His loving arms.

Sweet Holy Spirit, o how you are welcome, o how you are welcome in this place.

Sweet Holy Spirit, come shower us with our Father’s grace.

A Poetic View
When I look at America the country that I have been created and ordained to live and work in, I see many things. I see a country that is so full and rich with possibilities, that it overflows to the outside of our borders and then out into the ocean.  I see a country that was started on the principle that without God at the center of everything, we as a country would not make it, period. I see a country so full and deep with wisdom that no one could mistakenly say that God was not a part of our very foundation.  America, God has poured out His spirit in you for over two hundred years, He cares about where we are now, and where we are going as a people. God has continued to this very day to call out our name, day after day after day; America are we willing to answer His call?

America when I look at you, I see a country that has a heart to reach out to help others when they are hurting and left without hope.  I see a country that not only raises money and offers monetary support to other countries, but also supports many less than fortunate countries with brotherly protection.

Looking deep into the heart of America, I see an assortment of people who have come from many nations seeking a place of refuge, and a place of safety from the raging storms of life.  I see a country where people are drawn like a magnet to its shores, year after year.

So what is it about this country that we call America?  What’s so different about America in comparison to any other country in the whole wide world? Well, you may say that it is because people can come and experience freedom like they have never known before. Many will speak about the endless opportunities that people can have to provide for their families, so they can enjoy the many pleasures of life. But what does God say about America? 

America, God has never let you out of His sight although you may have felt forsaken at times. God has divine plans for you. His plans are to prosper you and not to harm you but to give you a future and a hope.  America, if you truly repent and turn back from the ways of the world and direct your whole heart back to the Almighty Sovereign God, then you will see the very best of our country.  

America the beautiful, a county so full of God’s love and His grace, know that God loves you and He desires to see you become all that His hands has created and designed you to become. God has invested so much in our country since its birth over two hundred years ago. It is time to reclaim our heritage and return to our roots. America, are you ready for your change?

No matter how high you get, you’ll still be looking up to Me says GOD

No matter how high you get no matter how much revelation I reveal to you, I AM still God, I AM still God.

The things that you see in the spirit remember that they all come from Me. They are shown to you only as you stand to represent Me.

The prayers that you pray as you go about your day, they come only as you trust and obey.

No matter how high you get, no matter how far you go, I AM the God of all mankind and I still have control.

Continue to seek Me and to stay before My face, the only reason why you are still in the land of the living is because of an abundance of My grace.

Daily have I washed you with the watering of My love. This is a sign to those around you that your approval comes from above.

No matter how high you get in the eyes of man, I AM the GOD of all flesh and this word is being released to you that you may understand.

As the days draw to a close in the earth before the earthly return of My Son, there will be an abundance of MY revelation flowing like a river touching the lives of My appointed ones.

There will no time for inner fighting comparing to see who has the best word. But those who speak from the heart of their Heavenly Father will not have the need to be concerned.

New revelation, new insight, new wisdom will be coming forth fast. It will take the faith like that of a child as you grasp for these splendors of grass. (Nourishment)

No matter how high you get, no matter how far you go; I AM still the God of all mankind and it is I who has complete control.

The truth about "Silly Women"

2 Timothy 3:1-9 (Kings James Version)


“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.”

In this particular message I will be focusing on a subject which has come up during recent times of prayer as well as in a few conversations with some of my spiritual sisters.  I first heard of  the term "Silly Women" in the early 1990’s when the women's group at a former ministry I attended did a study on how not to become a woman who is led away from God by participating in malicious and ungodly talk about others. During this time the ministry had recently severed the cords of religious tradition and had begun to open their hearts to embrace the bible and its full teaching on the operation of the Holy Spirit. My family and many of the young to middle aged men & women embraced with a hunger and thirst what the pastor had introduced to our parched spirits. Because we each had a desire for more of God, we were able to receive what was being taught in purity because our spiritual man bore witness to God’s holy truth.

Interesting to note is the fact that even with God doing such a great new thing in our midst there were some who were sitting under the same anointed word who did not want to accept the truth that was being presented. So in an attempt to stop the truth of God from flowing, a “silly woman” revolt of sorts was staged. Using their tongues as the weapon of choice, this group began to come against anyone who had accepted to walk in the truth of God’s word. In the end, God’s truth prevailed because HIS truth always trumps that which is false.

In this passage of scripture the Apostle Paul writes to Timothy describing how this would become a huge issue within the Body of Christ in the last days because men would become lovers of themselves and would not be open to being held accountable to the truth of God.  In addition we also see in this passage that many of the people who would be caught up in all of this godlessness are actually professing Christians. 

The term "silly women" originates in the King James Version of the bible and is seen translated as “weak-willed” women in later translations. Being a “silly” or “weak-willed” woman is someone who will fall for anything false and accepts it as being truth. When God's truth is made available many will resist truth because it causes people to not only hear and accept truth but it also provokes them to become accountable as well. When accountability to truth is activated in the person accepting the responsibility, they are freed from the bondage associated with doing things outside the established truth of God.

When hearing truth, what is your normal response? Do you accept or reject it based on how you are feeling or what you have previously heard?  Or do you take some time to analyze it before you can truly walk in it? No matter what your response may be in the end when your ears first hear truth, the spirit of God down on the inside of you will help to bear witness with the truth being presented. Additionally, a life of prayer, consistent study and meditation of the word of God also serves as a litmus test for you when God’s truth is first presented.

This is the season of truth as it has already been made known by many appointed men and women of God. Truth must be revealed so we as the Body of Christ can live and operate as true representatives of God in the earth. Truth must be revealed so the established plans and purposes of God can manifest. Truth must be revealed so that the captives of all things false can be set free from the hold of darkness. There is an old song I love from the late Rev. Timothy Wright called, “Whose on the Lord’s side.” When the truth of God is revealed in the earth the best place to be is always on the side of the Lord.
