Encouragement for those who are serving in the trenches

Psalm 24 
Of David. A psalm.

¹ The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it,
    the world, and all who live in it;
² for he founded it on the seas
    and established it on the waters.

³ Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord?
    Who may stand in his holy place?
⁴ The one who has clean hands and a pure heart,
    who does not trust in an idol
    or swear by a false god.

⁵ They will receive blessing from the Lord
    and vindication from God their Savior.
⁶ Such is the generation of those who seek him,
    who seek your face, God of Jacob.

⁷ Lift up your heads, you gates;
    be lifted up, you ancient doors,
    that the King of glory may come in.
⁸ Who is this King of glory?
    The Lord strong and mighty,
    the Lord mighty in battle.
⁹ Lift up your heads, you gates;
    lift them up, you ancient doors,
    that the King of glory may come in.
¹⁰ Who is he, this King of glory?
    The Lord Almighty—
    he is the King of glory.

Message 

This afternoon, a heavy tear filled intercession came up in my spirit for those who are serving in the trenches of the vineyard. Many have been crying out to the Father because they are feeling undervalued and forgotten.  

Father spoke, that yes He has heard your silent cries of anguish and frustration. And He is aware that many are serving others while in deep need. Many are wondering when they will be rewarded for countless hours of labor. Many have also wondered why they have not been allowed to enjoy the spoils as their leaders have been privy to. 

Father spoke that He has heard your request and wants you to know that your labor is not in vain. The reward that you are searching for, the recognition that you are seeking for is found in Him alone. Place not your confidence in the things of the flesh, place your hope in God alone. He is the rewarder of them that seek after Him with their whole hearts. As you work unto the Lord, it is He who will supply your every need. 

Be free today and set your heart and eyes back upon the Lord, the creator of all the earth.

“Get ready, things are changing in the Earth”

Friday afternoon while waiting before the Lord, I heard these words “Get ready things are changing in the earth.” A few moments passed and I was then shown a vision which caused my spirit to cry out for God. Following a time of intercession, I was released and cautioned not to share the vision but to release on this blog these practical wisdom keys. 

 

1.      Take a screen shot of all of your online ministry, business or school sites and then save to a word document.

Spiritual Eclispe-2013

Habakkuk 2:14

“For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea. “  NIV

Isaiah 60:2

“See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you.” NIV

Upon rising Saturday morning, I noticed that the unbalance that I felt in the realm of the spirit the previous day had indeed passed away. There was such a sweet presence, such a stillness that it could not be denied. The atmosphere had shifted and it was going to be an awesome, awesome day.  As I waited for the Father to speak, I got up from my bed and then went into my quiet place. 

Moments later I heard the voice of the Father say that a “Spiritual Eclipse” had occurred in the wee morning hours, right before He had awakened me from my sleep the first time. As I began to ponder on what I heard, instantly a vision of what occurred was before my eyes.

In the vision, I saw the earth surrounded by complete darkness. Moments later, the light of the Father’s presence began to shine forth and fill the darkness with iridescent colors.  As the presence of the Father covered and then surrounded the earth, I heard “My grace is covering the earth and protecting it from the enemy.”  Once these words were spoken the vision was gone and I began to pray as I walked into my office to look up the full meaning of the word eclipse.

“An eclipse is an astronomical event that occurs when an astronomical object is temporarily obscured, either by passing into the shadow of another body or by having another body pass between it and the viewer. An eclipse is a type of syzygy.^[1]

The term eclipse is most often used to describe either a solar eclipse, when the Moon's shadow crosses the Earth's surface, or a lunar eclipse, when the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow. However, it can also refer to such events beyond the Earth-Moon system: for example, a planet moving into the shadow cast by one of its moons, a moon passing into the shadow cast by its host planet, or a moon passing into the shadow of another moon. A binary star system can also produce eclipses if the plane of the orbit of its constituent stars intersects the observer's position.”

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

Without going deeper into all of the technical things surrounding the different types of eclipses, the wisdom Father released pertains only to the spiritual eclipse that has now occurred and the fact that His glory has increased and is now covering the earth to bring all things back into alignment with Him.

Prayer

Father thank you for the grace that you have extended to us. Father we thank you for the opportunity to humble ourselves and repent for all things that have not pleased you. Thank you for life. Thank you for your strength. Thank you for your mercy which we do not deserve.  Father thank you for your grace extended to us ever so sweetly.  Show us the way; lead us on the path to true holiness. Lead and guide us into all truth, your truth. Order our steps like never before. Open our eyes to see past the destruction. Open our eyes to see past our flesh. Open our eyes to gaze upon your glory.  We need you more than we have acknowledged. We need your touch and we need your love. We need you more than anything in this earth, in Jesus name we pray, Amen.

Protect your Spiritual Legacy

Daniel 5: 1-6, 18-23

King Belshazzar gave a great banquet for a thousand of his nobles and drank wine with them. ² While Belshazzar was drinking his wine, he gave orders to bring in the gold and silver goblets that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken from the temple in Jerusalem, so that the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines might drink from them. ³ So they brought in the gold goblets that had been taken from the temple of God in Jerusalem, and the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines drank from them. ⁴ As they drank the wine, they praised the gods of gold and silver, of bronze, iron, wood and stone.

⁵ Suddenly the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall, near the lamp stand in the royal palace. The king watched the hand as it wrote. ⁶ His face turned pale and he was so frightened that his legs became weak and his knees were knocking.

¹⁸ “Your Majesty, the Most High God gave your father Nebuchadnezzar sovereignty and greatness and glory and splendor. ¹⁹ Because of the high position he gave him, all the nations and peoples of every language dreaded and feared him. Those the king wanted to put to death, he put to death; those he wanted to spare, he spared; those he wanted to promote, he promoted; and those he wanted to humble, he humbled. ²⁰ But when his heart became arrogant and hardened with pride, he was deposed from his royal throne and stripped of his glory. ²¹ He was driven away from people and given the mind of an animal; he lived with the wild donkeys and ate grass like the ox; and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven, until he acknowledged that the Most High God is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and sets over them anyone he wishes.

²² “But you, Belshazzar, his son, have not humbled yourself, though you knew all this. ²³ Instead, you have set yourself up against the Lord of heaven. You had the goblets from his temple brought to you, and you and your nobles, your wives and your concubines drank wine from them. You praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or understand. But you did not honor the God who holds in his hand your life and all your ways.

Friday morning as I sat before the Lord, Holy Spirit set a reminder before me concerning the spiritual legacy of writings that I will leave behind when I return home to be with the Father. I reflected on the time in 2000 when I had my first will and testament drawn up and notarized. It was a detailed letter of how I wanted my earthly possessions to be distributed within my family. After my initial will was done a few years later when my first book was published, I added an addendum which covered any material written from 2000 and beyond.

Today, there may be someone reading this who may not be aware of the U.S. Copyright laws which state “Copyright in a work created on or after January 1, 1978, subsists from its creation and, except as provided by the following subsections, endures for a term consisting of the life of the author and 70 years after the author's death.” For each person their divine directives may be different, but for me anything that I’m  prompted to write as part of my scribal assignment has to be copyrighted and protected and preserved for future generations.  Just only a few weeks ago, I read a sad story about the family of a writer who died and his work is now in public domain being used in a manner which does not reflect or honor his family. The family unfortunately do not have the rights to his legacy and are unable to legally stop the harm because the legacy was not properly protected and passed on. 

The scripture referenced above from Daniel 5 shows what happens when the protection of what one has been given steward over were to reach public domain. In the scripture we find where the son of Nebuchadnezzar throws a great banquet and has brought out the gold goblets that had been taken from the temple of God in Jerusalem and used them in a manner which greatly displeased the Father. Belshazzar knew his father’s legacy but he did not honor and hold precious the very things of God. The scripture does not show if his father stressed the importance of the legacy, but if he had, there could have been a much different outcome. (When you have time please read the whole chapter of Daniel 5) The story of ROOTS is an awesome example of showing the importance of protecting one's legacy. Throughout the miniseries it showed how the legacy of Alex Haley's ancestors was passed from generation to generation to generation. Because the legacy was protected and preserved it soon rested in his hands. When Alex Haley began to treat the legacy with honor, the blessings from the previous generations rained down in his life. 

As stewards over the gifts and assignments of the Father, we have a spiritual obligation to protect the legacy so that it does not fall into the public domain or the wrong hands. Every God inspired vision and plan has to be protected so it can remain in the right hands. When the Father, through the death and resurrection of His Son made us joint heirs with Christ, instantly we became keepers and protectors of Christ spiritual legacy. (Romans 8:17 & Colossians 1:12) Because Christ’s legacy is important, so are those things which we do for and through Christ as well.

It is of great importance that those things which are regarded as sacred and holy be protected and treated as the Father desires and not as something common. This is where Belshazzar made his mistake and caused immediate judgment to visit his house. Today as you are led, please take a moment to assess what the Father has placed in your hands and begin to see it as part of your spiritual legacy. Ask yourself how are you treating what the Father sees as sacred and holy? Have you taken any steps to ensure that your legacy is passed into the right hands upon your return to the Father? And are you willing to release your legacy to your heirs at the appointed time? These questions and more can only be answered when you not only understand but embrace the magnitude of what the Father has placed in your hands as something special, sacred and holy.

Your spiritual legacy when protected and preserved, will have a greater opportunity to blossom and become the blessing that the Father has truly destined it to be.

Mishandled Goods

“Respect everyone, and love your Christian brothers and sisters. Fear God, and respect the king.”  1 Peter 2:17 NLT

In 1985 while in college, I came home one evening after working at the university bookstore. After making a trek across an empty campus in knee deep snow, I eventually made it home to my off campus apartment; exhausted and wet. As I climbed the stairs and neared the front door to the apartment I shared with three other roommates, I stood frozen in my tracks. The scene that greeted me was something that almost sent my faith into a tailspin. Written across our front door in blood were the words N-----s go home! As I looked down, I saw one of the piglets from the Biology lab tied to our doorknob. He was hung with his head facing downward and his once frozen body now dripped of blood which had also been sprinkled from our front door to the door directly across the hall from us. This apartment housed three of my African American friends, who had also been included in this hate crime.

My first reaction was to go banging on doors to see who did this despicable thing, but godly wisdom and common sense kicked in. Instead, I ran downstairs to the only other apartment in the whole building which housed African Americans and told them what had happened. After calling the police and filing a statement, the officers gave me the same swan song about how they would investigate the incident. Once again, they asked me if we (the nine African American’s who lived in the whole building) would follow their advice about moving back on campus. This time I thanked them halfheartedly and then went into my apartment and bolted the door shut. I called my mother to tell her what had happened and then wondered silently when my roommates were returning from break. A few hours later I was totally relieved when two of my friends from across the hall returned from the Christmas break.  

So, how you may ask does this experience tie in with the scripture and theme of this particular message? A few weeks ago as I reflected on some wisdom that Father released to me about how some have mishandled and treated with disdain some of His precious vessels, my thoughts were carried back to the incident in college. After hearing this word, several days later when I kept seeing words of confirmation concerning this mishandling from several connected apostolic-prophetic people, it made me realize even the more that there is coming forth for those who have been operating in this particular error a time for correction and realignment with their love walk.  

The incident I shared above happened at a predominately white university many years ago. I, along with the 200 African Americans students (out of over 10,000 students) were seen as not only a minority, but unworthy of consideration or respect from some of the students who attended the university.  In the eyes of the Father we were precious because He created us in His very own image. And just because we looked different due to the color of our pigmentation, did not mean that we did not matter. And just because we did wear our hair differently and even dressed differently did not serve as an open license for us to be treated any differently from anyone else on campus. We, just like all of the other students who were enrolled, were in pursuit of a secondary degree to help better our lives.

As we come back to the scripture 1 Peter 2:17, it tells us to “respect everyone.” In other words it means that even if someone is different or does things just a bit differently from you or I does not mean that person should be mishandled and treated with disdain. All people every shape, size and color are human and each person matters. And why is this? Because our creator the Sovereign Father says that all people matter to Him. (1 John 4:11)

As we walk through this life, we are going to encounter people who may not look or even act like us. This is where our real love walk will be tested. What would our honest response be? Will we still be able to treat people kind and show them the true love of the Father? Or will we just brush them off and mishandle the Father’s goods?  Remember, God is not watching to catch us slipping up, but to see if we will humbly stop and repent when we are walking in error.  Just like I was able to with the help of the Holy Spirit recognize my error before going down the hall, you, too are able to stop, think and press the pause button when things happen in your life that are contrary to the Father’s truth. 

May your heart be pricked today to allow the Holy Spirit to search and check the areas where you may have knowingly or unknowingly mishandled the Father’s goods.  Even if you have fallen in this area, know that the hand of the Father is extended to you in love. For as He has loved you with His perfect love, He also desires for you to love your neighbors no matter whom they are. (Matthew 22:39)

If you are in need of the Savior, Jesus Christ

Prayer of Salvation

I repent of all of my sins and right now I do confess that Jesus is the Son of God and that He died for the remission of my sins. I believe that Jesus died and was buried and rose again, and is now seated at the right hand of God in Heaven.

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."

*Note* This word from August 22, 2012 was inadvertently not posted. The message in its entirety is still relevant for today. 

Father just dropped this in my spirit. As people of God we have been giving the enemy too much publicity. He does not need to go out to hire a marketing team to promote his agenda because we assist him in every way with the words that we release about what he is doing. Understand, this is not about the strategic planning that is needed to sever the plans of the enemy in the earth, but more so about the day to day general conversations we engage in concerning what the enemy does.

Father has released over and over in the last few months through many of His Apostolic and Prophetic vessels that we are to keep our focus during this time of transition in the earth. It does not matter what it is that comes to shake our faith, we must plant our feet firmly on the word of God, straighten our backs out, hold our heads up and look straight ahead and Focus, Focus, Focus.

For those on the very front lines, it is imperative that you maintain and keep focused because, those who are following behind you will respond and react according to how they see you respond and react to things. Be encouraged and know that the word of God is tried and true when it say that “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalted itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ." (2 Corinthian 10:3-5)

Key Ingredient for Kingdom Ministry

1 Corinthians 13-The Love Chapter 

If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part; but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away. When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known. But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.

The Prophets for this Season

On last evening, the prophets of God being raised up for this season were upon my heart. As I began to pray, I thanked God for those who are coming out of the dark caves of last season with a ready word upon their tongues. I give Father praise not just for the created but because God is such an awesome and strategic Father. He knows, He sees and He hears all things, Hallelujah, glory to God!

Prayer

Father as your ordained mouth pieces arise in this season, I pray a protective covering over each and every life. I thank you for your divine covering over all that pertains to each and every vessel. I thank you Father for yielded tongues, vocal cords, larynx, phonation, thyroid and instrinsic muscles moving and operating according to your divine will and purpose. I thank you Father for your committed vessels walking in divine alignment speaking, scribing and releasing exactly what you have given them to say. I thank you that there will be no compromise or backing down on any assignment. I give you glory Father that all shall walk in Holy boldness as your commissioned vessels. I thank you for the angels that are assigned to each vessel and that each one would consistently use the word so that their angels will be able to excel in strength to protect and guide them. Thank you oh mighty God for what you are doing in this season. Thank you for your plans and purpose being revealed in a glorious and mighty way in the earth. In Jesus Name, Amen!

Scriptural Encouragement  from Jeremiah 1:7-12

But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am too young.’ You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the Lord. Then the Lord reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth. See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.” The word of the Lord came to me: “What do you see, Jeremiah?” “I see the branch of an almond tree,” I replied. The Lord said to me, “You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled.”

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.

Stopping the flow of Emotional Bleeding

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.” 2 Corinthian 1:3-4

Before I could even get into worship and prayer this morning Father released a word concerning His people that it is now time to stop the flow of emotional bleeding. As I began to pray, He expressed that there are still too many wounded soldiers who are out on the battlefield leaking contaminated blood throughout the body. There are also many who have been wounded but are still operating in ministry with open wounds which have not had the opportunity and time to properly heal. Still there are many others who are yet going forth in ministry with the objects and instruments used against them in battle left hanging from their bodies. Now is the time and today is the day to step away from the battlefield to get the open wounds cleansed, tended to and bandaged properly. For those of you who happen to be one of the recently wounded, know that this is a word of love and compassion because our Heavenly Father has expressed deep concern for the total health and well being of His wounded sheep on today.

On last month I was instructed to write about emotional healing and how we as the Body of Christ should take precautions to check and work on maintaining our mental health and well being. Periodically checking to be sure that our emotions are in check and not spilling all over the place will allow for us to go further in doing the work of building up the kingdom of God. For the times when we continued in our assignments without taking the time to assess our wounds, we risked the possibility of setting up infection in our bodies as well as unknowingly infecting others. Today, if you are open to hear the Father’s heart on this matter you can begin your healing right away.

So how can we stop the flow of emotional bleeding in our lives?

1.                  When we know that we have been wounded, stop and assess the damage.

2.                  We have to be honest with ourselves that there is some bleeding.

3.                  Take time out to get proper care for the wound(s) by seeking the services of a trusted friend, counselor, mental health professional or pastor.

4.                  Allow time for God’s healing to flow. Release all guilt about taking time away so that the healing process is not hindered.  

5.                  Continue to spend time communing with the Father in worship and prayer.

6.                  Spend time in the word of God to regain strength for the next assignment.

7.                  Keep our hearts and minds free from any debris or residue from prior battles.

8.                  Reach out to help our wounded brother and sisters who don’t know that they are bleeding.

Father, thank you for your concern and love for your people on today. Thank you for revealing your heart  concerning an issue that many of us may not have been aware of.  Thank you for providing your wisdom and a way of escape so we may be healed. Thank you for covering our wounds with your healing salve. Thank you Father for your love covering us as a blanket where we are safe from harm and danger. Thank you for allowing us to dwell in your secret place where we can rest under the shadow of your wings. We ask that you forgive us for infecting others unknowingly and we ask that you would send forth your healing into their lives as well.  Thank you Father for you see and you know all things and nothing is hidden from your watchful eyes. Truly you are an incredible and awesome Father who is always concerned about the health and wellbeing of your children.  We love you Dear God for all you have done for us, in the name of Jesus we pray on this day, Amen.

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.
