Spiritual Double Agents



On last year during a time of prayer the word double agent came up in my spirit. As I pressed though in intercession to get revelation of what was being revealed, I began to feel an intense sadness in my spirit as I prayed for and covered those within the Body of Christ who had become innocent victims of this ongoing issue. Just a few days ago, the word came back and after being confirmed I am now commissioned in the dawn of this beautiful morning to scribe what is on the Father’s heart. 

Since the beginning of history many have posed as double agents whether they knew it or not. In fact as we go back through both the Old and New Testaments we will see where men and even women have acted as double agents to obtain not only information but also favor and blessings from others and God. Many of these biblical examples include people like Saul and his relationship with young David, King David and the story of Uriah the Hittite, Tamar, the daughter in law of Judah, those who connected and followed after JESUS, the story of Simon the sorcerer and lastly the story of the young woman who followed after Paul and Silas in the book of Acts.

As we go to Merriam Webster’s dictionary we will see the meaning of the word double agent and what it is described as:

“A spy pretending to serve one government while actually serving another.” 

As we dig deeper for more understanding, we go back to check the meaning of what an agent represents to get the fullness of what the term double agent truly means.  The word agent is described as:

“One that acts or exerts power, something that produces or is capable of producing an effect: an active or efficient cause, one who is authorized to act for or in the place of another. And lastly, one engaged in undercover activities (as espionage): spy (secret agent) .”

You may ask, why is this so important especially during this time and where do I fit in this equation? In just a few moments you will have a greater understanding as to why it is extremely important for you and those divinely connected to you to know this truth.

In this past year the word concerning covenant relationships rang throughout the Body of Christ as the Father brought forth clarity, wisdom and instruction on how these divine relationships were to operate. This realignment was birthed forth to reveal true kingdom relationships and to produce in the earth what was on the heart of the Father. As these new covenant relationships began to blossom many who were not pleased with these new relationships began to desire what could only come from relationships which God had personally brought together.

Instead of letting God hook up the divine connections for them, there was an increase of people who began to connect with those who they thought could take them where they desired or wanted to go. What’s interesting to note about these types of relationships is that many knew on the front end that they did not have the heart of the Father concerning those they desired to be connected with.  And when their impure motives and agendas were revealed, many became bitter and sought to sabotage the character of those they once desired to be connected to. If it had not been for the abundant grace and protection of God, many kingdom assignments would have been hindered or destroyed.

A spiritual double agent as downloaded to me is a person who is in relationship with you who connects but their heart and devotion is not to walk in agreement with God’s plans for your life. Their purpose is only to use you to achieve and promote their own personal agenda. Now is a better  time than any to seek out God as to those connected to you who have truly been sent by Him and to know if those who cling to you like dust mites clinging to the bottom of a dust mop are truly legit or just serving as spiritual double agents.

In this season as the things which you have prayed for over the years begin to  manifest and come to quick fruition; continue to stay alert and put on your armor daily as you take care of your assigned Kingdom business. Keep and maintain your focus and check yourself daily to be sure your love walk is for real.

This message is by no means to startle or alarm you but is used to help keep you in the spiritual loop concerning the heart of the Father. The word of God tells us in 1 Peter 5:8 that we are to “Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” The enemy can only devour those who are not prepared and walking in fear. 1 John 4:18 tells us “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.”  So in other words we must continue to walk in love with others including those who have come into our lives undercover as spiritual double agents. 

As our love walk is renewed and strengthen and we began to pray for those connecting to us with the wrong agenda, we allow for the love of God to draw them back to the Father’s heart so that real transformation can take place within their hearts and minds. When this happens a two fold victory occurs, the kingdom of God is blessed beyond measure because we are able to complete our kingdom assignments and God is glorified as another soul experiences His love, deliverance and restoration.

The Haman's are being exposed

After a time of praise and worship this morning, the word of the Lord came forth. I heard clearly that the Haman's were being exposed during this time.  As the word began to spring forth, I found myself rejoicing for those who will be vindicated by God. It's really something to go through a trial at the hands of another only to find out that this same accuser would end up facing the same demise which had been so secretly set to attempt to destroy. There is one word of caution that goes along with this word and that is when you see your Haman exposed, don't taunt, ridicule or even make them feel bad; continue to walk in your integrity and operate as a child of the King would. Remember in all things that it is not the person that you see who is your real enemy, but it is the spirit operating within them.

May you find peace, encouragement and strength in the scripture passages below to move forward in the things of God.

Blessings,

Haman Hanged ( Read Esther 7)

1 So the king and Haman went to dine with Queen Esther, 2 and as they were drinking wine on that second day, the king again asked, “Queen Esther, what is your petition? It will be given you. What is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be granted.”3 Then Queen Esther answered, “If I have found favor with you, O king, and if it pleases your majesty, grant me my life—this is my petition. And spare my people—this is my request. 4 For I and my people have been sold for destruction and slaughter and annihilation. If we had merely been sold as male and female slaves, I would have kept quiet, because no such distress would justify disturbing the king.5 King Xerxes asked Queen Esther, “Who is he? Where is the man who has dared to do such a thing?”6 Esther said, “The adversary and enemy is this vile Haman.”

Then Haman was terrified before the king and queen. 7 The king got up in a rage, left his wine and went out into the palace garden. But Haman, realizing that the king had already decided his fate, stayed behind to beg Queen Esther for his life.8 Just as the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall, Haman was falling on the couch where Esther was reclining.The king exclaimed, “Will he even molest the queen while she is with me in the house?”As soon as the word left the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face. 9 Then Harbona, one of the eunuchs attending the king, said, “A gallows seventy-five feet high stands by Haman’s house. He had it made for Mordecai, who spoke up to help the king.”The king said, “Hang him on it!” 10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king’s fury subsided.

Are you connected to the Body of Christ?

A clique (pronounced /ˈkliːk/, also /ˈklɪk/ (U.S.)) is an exclusive group of people who share common interests, views, purposes, patterns of behavior, or ethnicity.[1] A clique as a reference group can be either normative or comparative. Membership in a clique is typically exclusive, and qualifications for membership may be social or essential to the nature of the clique. (Info taken from Wikipedia)

On yesterday evening Father placed within my heart to pray & intercede for every person who has ever been rejected, separated, pushed aside or discounted by people who said that they had no value when it  came to ministry in the Kingdom of God. As I prayed my heart went back to all of the times when I have personally been cast out so to speak from people who rejected me because I did not fit into their mold or way of doing things because I was seen as different or peculiar. This past Sunday my Apostle and Pastor taught an awesome message  about people who have been thrown into a pit by other people. I rejoiced because I had been there in that place many times before, too many to even name.

Looking back over the 30 years that I have worked in ministry (from singing in the youth choir at age 15 to serving at a local Nashville nursing home) I have seen many cliques formed. When cliques are in full operation, you will begin to see an increase in wounded and rejected people within the church because the sole purpose of a clique is separation.  If you are part of a ministry group and you begin to notice that mini-sub groups are being formed within that ministry where only a select few are offered admittance than you are seeing a clique in action. Mind you, I am not talking about cell groups or ministry within a church setting, because these are bilibical (see Acts 2) What is on the heart of the Father today is concern for those who operate or participate in the gathering of cliques within the Body of Christ. These are not biblical nor do they serve or benefit a  kingdom purpose.

The Body of Christ was officially established in the book of Acts chapter 2 when those assembled in the upper room were together in one place and on one accord. In Acts 2: 42-47, it details how the body of believers operated. "They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved." They were blessed beyond measure because they were connected to the Body of Christ.

So if you find yourself connected to a sub-group within the body of Christ and it's sole purpose is to scatter and not gather then you are operating contrary to true kingdom purpose. The word of God in Luke 11:23 says "He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me, scatters."

Know that God loves each and every one of his children and He is not a respector of persons. His desire to have relationship and fellowship with all of His children including the ones who have been cast to the side and rejected. Ask the Lord to forgive, heal and restore you on today if you have taken part in any cliques, know that He is waiting with out stretched loving arms to receive you back into the fold.

Blessings

Don't prematurely jump off the Potter's Wheel

Isaiah 64:8

Yet you, LORD, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.

Never underestimate where you are even at this present moment in life. Each of us are exactly where we need to be as GOD continues to refine us and smooth out the rough edges in every area of our lives. He is making us ready for the new divine assignments which will help to usher in not only a greater depth of His glory but the huge harvest of souls awaiting His touch through our obedience.

GOD has a plan, but are we willing to see it through to the end? God is making us all ready, so you are not alone. All around you is a room full of harden clay awaiting their turn on the Potter's wheel so that they too can be properly & uniquely prepared for every good work. So relax, reach up and grab hold of the Potter's hand, let Him shape and mold you into that very special vessel He has purposed you to be.

Blessings!

Keeping up with the Joneses or staying in step with the Holy Spirit

For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. Galations 6:8

Growing up as a child, I often heard stories from my maternal grandmother about people she knew who were only concerned about keeping up with what others had or what others did and how they would work to compete to see who had better in the end.  Time after time they would come to her porch and call out for Mama Vie, telling her that they needed to talk with her about something. Many times, I would hear her on the phone telling them not to get caught up in buying this or that and not being able to afford it all in the end.  Still there were many times that many would come to ask her for money to help them pay bills and she would give it to them with a stern warning for them to be more discerning the next time.

Growing up in a family with six children, did not afford me the opportunity to have all of the latest fashions of the 70’s. But I always had clean clothes and freshly braided hair. My parents made sure that we had a roof over our heads, clothes on our backs and shoes on our feet even if they were the buddies from the community J. L. Marcus stores. 

What I learned back then was the value and importance of family. Like spending time playing with my younger siblings and dreaming about our future. Or what we did as a family on Saturday mornings, by getting up cleaning up the house and then sitting down for a family meeting before we watched our Saturday afternoon movies. I remember my mama would facilitate our meetings and ask us if we had any issues or concerns that we wanted to discuss with her or to solve an issue with another sibling.  She was teaching us back then how to keep a clear line of communication open with family as well as others. She taught us values and how to use our life and talents for good. Mama was also teaching us also that putting in quality time with family was most precious than anything that money could ever buy. She was teaching us things that would help to bless our lives in the long run.

These childhood experiences both taught me something and that is how the scripture above ties in with this devotional. On one hand, I can spend my whole life working to spend everything I have on trying to live a life to impress people by keeping up with the Joneses. Or on the other hand, I can use the available resources and gifts that I have by pouring into others those things which will help them to mature and grow to become who God created and purposed for them to be in Him. 

Body of Christ, we have a choice to make today, will we continue to keep up with the Joneses or will we make the leap of faith to stay in step with the Holy Spirit? Which one of these roads would you chose?  The one that leads to destruction or the one that leads to eternal life?  Make the choice to truly live life today; and we 'll leave a light on for you.

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.
