RELEASE

Release all of the things you have carried over the last seven months of this year. God is ready to perform His word concerning your life if only you release, let go and relinquish your control. God is a God of freedom and liberty and His desire is for His children to be free from all that hinders them. Open your hand, relax your hold and release it completely to God. Then you will see the miraculous, then you will see the evidence, then you will see your victory when you release everything to God.

New, New, New!

Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:19

As I sit here at my desk closing out old writing projects from seasons past, I know in my spirit that God is ready to bring forth something new into my life. As in previous years, whenever I am led to closeout writing projects or to clean and organize my desk files or boxes that the old must go in order for the new to come forth.

The seventh month of 2011 is officially coming to a close in less than 18 hours and already my mind has become focused on the second half of this year. There is a mighty huge harvest coming not only for my own household but also for those within the household of faith.

In this last season of “just enough” I have been a good steward over the monies earned through my job, as well as tithing and sowing seed off of every book sale made. But despite having just enough to do the necessary minimal, God has yet to continue to provide and to meet every basic need of my household.

As this fresh new season begins to spring forth, bringing with it all that God has purposed, my spirit begins to leap for joy because the old is now past and has been dealt with in so many ways, from physically to emotionally. The time has now come for me to open my arms wide to embrace and receive all of the new that has come. May you also embrace the new, new, new that God is making available for you too.

In closing, I would like to share with you a poem I wrote in the spring of 2000 upon waking up on the morning of a brand new season for my life.  The poem is entitled, It’s Morning.”

Enjoy, Blessings!

It’s Morning

It’s Morning! It’s Morning! Oh the new mercies I see.

It’s Morning! It’s Morning! A brand new day for me.

It’s Morning! It’s Morning! Oh how bright the sun does shine.

It’s Morning! It’s Morning! I have a renewed peace of mind.

It’s Morning! It’s Morning! I will praise the Lord.

It’s Morning! It’s Morning! In Him I adore.

It’s Morning! It’s Morning! He has set me free.

It’s Morning! It’s Morning! From the hand of the enemy.

It’s Morning! It’s Morning!

RUN VISION! RUN!

And then God answered: "Write this.
Write what you see.
Write it out in big block letters
so that it can be read on the run.
This vision-message is a witness
pointing to what's coming.
It aches for the coming—it can hardly wait!
And it doesn't lie.
If it seems slow in coming, wait.
It's on its way. It will come right on time.

Habakkuk 2

(The Message Bible)

During my time of intercession and prayer this morning, I began to pray over and cover the Godly visions (marriage, home, business & ministry) which God has given my husband and me over the 14 years we have been married. Although, we pray for God’s divine will for our lives daily, we had not prayed over the written visions daily. Today, as the written visions were brought to the forefront, I began to pray and to speak forth those things which the spirit led me to speak, I soon found myself truly visualizing what God has already planned to do in and through us. Next, I then began to lift up the written visions of others, some I have met and others I have yet to meet. I began to rejoice with joy because many of these visions will soon be coming to pass.

There has been a stirring in the spirit today concerning previously written God inspired visions and I am led to share with you that if you have a written vision the Father God has given you over the years, now is the time for you to take it off the shelf and go before the Lord in a time of prayer and intercession to pray as the spirit leads you. Whatever God has promised you, it is He who will bring it to pass because He is definitely well able to bless you in and at the appointed time.

Above all, I pray that your faith is renewed and increased as you take your God inspired vision and began to run with it again.

Blessings!

Relief from Spiritual Constipation

Galatians 5:1


It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

Constipation usually occurs when there is not enough fiber in the diet or not enough water being taken in to soften the waste which needs to pass through the body. The use of certain medications and certain illnesses may also contribute to people becoming constipated.

Many may question how being spiritually constipated correlates with being constipated in the natural. But as you will see in a moment, what we experience in the natural (our bodies) very much parallel what we go through in the spirit.

If you have ever found yourself seriously constipated, you know how uncomfortable this feeling can be. Being constipated can sometimes cause abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss and even make you feel nauseous. When this happens an individual knows that it is way past time for them to seek relief. Being spiritual constipation works the same way, when your spirit is stopped up and you are unable to get a full release, you become stagnant in your spirit or dry so to speak. You may begin to experience pain down in your soul but can’t pinpoint the source of your discomfort. You will also find that you are unable to move forward because your stomach is so bloated that you are unable to move freely as you once were able to do. Lastly, you find yourself experiencing cramps which tend come and go even at some of the most inconvenient times.

So how do you spell relief? D-E-L-I-V-E-R-E-N-C-E!

Wondering what steps should you take to gaining deliverance from spiritual constipation and dryness? In the next few moments I will share with you the steps which Father God led me through as I personally gained freedom from a season of spiritual constipation.

1. First, ask the Holy Sprit to search your heart for any residue of unforgiveness from past hurts and or offences lingering down in the cracks and crevices.

2. Secondly, write down the names of those whom the Holy Spirit brings to your remembrance and then go down your list one name at a time to forgive and then release the person(s) completely.

3. Once you have completed your list, tear up or burn.

4. Next, take a moment to release God from anything negative you may feel in your heart towards Him.

5. Then spend some time in meditation and in study of the word.

6. Next, allow for the washing of the water of the word to rejuvenate your spirit through and through.

7. Set aside an appointed time to fellowship with the Father in worship and prayer.

8. Next, spend time listening for God’s wisdom/guidance on how you will need to proceed in your restored/refreshed state.

9. Spend some time in consecration weekly to maintain your new found deliverance.

10. Change your diet by adding in more fruits & vegetables. This is not only naturally but spiritually nourishing and it will help to keep your digestive tract clean.

What are some of the benefits from obtaining relief from spiritual constipation?

1. New found liberty in the spirit.

2. Closer fellowship with the Father, God.

3. More strategic prayer life.

4. Stronger foundation built upon the word of God.

5. Intensified Love walk.

6. Increased desire to walk in obedience to God’s commands.

7. Overflow of joy, peace & happiness.

Prayerfully this information has been of some benefit and you will now prayerfully consider taking what you have learned and make application to your life. Best wishes as you embark on your journey to gaining relief from spiritual constipation.

If you are in need of Jesus the Savior, you are welcome to pray the following prayer.

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. I receive Him now as Lord of my life and I now commit to serve him for the rest of my days.

It’s in Jesus’ name I do pray, Amen.

If you have just prayed this prayer and want more information about beginning your new life as a Christian, please call or write us, we will be happy to send you a free booklet.

My Father's Voice

For my father, Walter L. Smith, Sr.

I can still remember my father’s voice as a little girl calling me by my nickname, Ne-Ne. Then suddenly as if on wings like an eagle I would make haste to see what he wanted and then sit listening to hear what he would have to say to me.

Now that the process of time has caught up with the both of us, still at the age of forty-four when I hear my father’s voice calling my name while talking on the phone with him, I began to quiet down and then listen intently so that I am able to hear all that he would have to say to me.

When I hear the voice of Father God, my Abba Father, calling my name, I make it a point to immediately run and jump into His loving arms. Then I wait in anticipation, quietly listening to hear what He would have to say to me.

Learning to recognize and cherish the voice of my natural Father helped to prepare me to hear the voice of my heavenly Father.

Today, if you hear His voice, harden not your heart, but open up your ears to hear and receive that which is on the heart of your Heavenly Father.

“Tell My people that there is NO monopoly on My Holy Spirit.”

I am typing this word of the Lord as fast as it is flowing out of my spirit. Only moments after a time of prayer and intercession, I ask God what was specifically on His heart for this moment. As my spirit began to weep on the inside, I heard these words; “Tell My people that there is NO monopoly on My Holy Spirit.” As I continued to press in I heard again, “You, Tell My people that there is No monopoly on My Holy Spirit.”

People of God, as many of you already know from the word of God as written in the book of Acts, that the Holy Spirit did not pick and choose who it fell on that day but touched all who were assembled. The scripture in Acts 2:1-4 reads, “When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”

How many times have you in sat church and thought to yourself, I have the true power of God on inside of me and this person, or that person has nothing. See look, they can’t even sing, dance or even pray like me or those in my circle because we got it going on. Or maybe you said something like this even while a person was praying and pouring out their heart to God, I don’t feel the anointing or the power of God on them like I do when sister or brother so and so prays. How can we and I include myself in this equation, sit up in the midst of God’s presence and lift ourselves up in pride to say, who does and who does not have the Spirit of God dwelling on the inside of them? Why are we even judging our brothers and sisters and treating them as inferior or less than us because we think we have a monopoly on the Holy Spirit because we went to this or that school to get training or we sat at the feet of a master mentor? People of God, seriously before we can go any further or deeper into the things of God; we have some spiritual spring cleaning to do.

Today, Father is making this issue known and exposing it so we who are spiritual can truly stand in unity as they did on the day of Pentecost. The word states that they were all on one accord, standing as one. This means that they were undivided and not separated into clicks, levels or groups; but truly united in heart and spirit so the presence of God; the true Spirit of God was able to come in with might and power.

People of God, this is on the heart of the Father today and we need to search our hearts individually and collectively to see ourselves and what we have contributed to this issue and then we are admonished to repent for thinking that we alone have a monopoly on the Holy Spirit of God.

I have repented for taking part in this prideful act; will you?

CHANGING OF THE GUARD

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.
