“THE CALLING”

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  (John 3:16 King James Version)

The Calling

by Nancy Slocum

Hush, Sweet Darling, do you hear Me,
The faint whisper of your heart’s desire
Calling from deep within,
Return to Me.
I Am your God-given reason for being,
A hidden destiny born of your dreams
Divinely designed for complete manifestation.
I Am your invitation to untapped potential,
Waiting to be birthed in your spirit and gifted to the world
With your unique DNA stamped upon it.
I Am the substance that comes only from Jehovah God.
Do you know exactly who I Am?
Am I oozing abundant life and radical liberty from your pores?
Are you emblazoned by My undying passion to love you unconditionally?
Is the world impoverished from the lack of My presence and power in you?
Does My unsurpassing peace and unspeakable joy flow like a river through you?
Apart from Me is your existence empty, meaningless, and without direction?
Am I, Who is perfect Love Himself, personified in your everyday way of being?
If you know Me not I bid you,
Come to the secret place where deep calls unto deep.
Receive My plan and purpose created just for you.
Draw close to the heart of God.
Wrapped in His brilliant revelation I wait…
Jesus the Christ, The Anointed One and His Anointing,
King of Kings and LORD of Lords,
Savior and Redeemer of the World.
I Am The Calling.
Have you accepted Me, your divine inheritance?
Take Me and run with Me and you shall be fulfilled.
I have blessed you to bless all people,
To establish the Kingdom of God in My name
On earth as it is in heaven,
That Our heavenly Father may be glorified.
I Am and shall be so, forevermore.  Selah.

On January 4, 2006, Holy Spirit inspired me to write this poem, “The Calling.” In that season of my life the perspective I had regarding the poem’s message was slightly different than it is today.  I revised the poem December 7, 2011.  Perhaps a more accurate way of saying it is that the One who inspired me to write it has been doing some re-visioning and transformational work in and through me.  I didn’t write it – He wrote me! Consequently, some fine-tuning has taken place in me as well as in the crafting of my words.

Five years have passed and the good Lord has truly been teaching and stretching me and has been progressively opening the eyes of my understanding more and more.  I am so grateful for His revelations.  Seeing life through God’s eternal and infinitely expansive vision is very humbling and has a way of showing us a much greater purpose for our lives than we could ever have dreamed or imagined on our own.

When I originally wrote the poem, I had the following definition in mind.  Generally speaking, I always considered “a calling” to be something a person had an inner urge or strong impulse to do like: an occupation, profession, trade, career, lifework, specialty, or mission.  I thought it was the principal activity or work one did in life with or without payment and that it was divinely inspired.

Meriam Webster defines “calling” as: a strong inner impulse toward a particular course of action especially when accompanied by conviction of divine influence.

God has an eternal hold on my heart.  As I choose to stay surrendered to Jesus, I find He is re-visioning and re-writing the understanding of my internal script and life’s story.  I now understand that His poem – or “poiema” – written through me, was not only about the WHAT, as I originally thought, but even more so about the WHO, as you can “see”  for yourself! The transliterated word: “poiema” means: that which has been made a work; of the works of God as Creator.

The Creator is greater than His creation.  He knows WHAT He had in mind when He uniquely designed each one of us for HIMSELF, according to His good will and pleasure.  If we can keep our heart, intentions, and focus squarely on Him, and stay submitted to the Potter’s hands, then He will surely complete the authentic masterpiece each one of us alone is in His all-powerful, supernaturally creative hands.  You can be sure that we will absolutely love the results and they will be far greater than anything we could ever have hoped for, dreamed, or imagined, because His ways are higher than ours!

It is my heartfelt prayer that this will be your most blessed and exquisite Christmas ever as your eyes and heart are truly opened, like never before, to the absolute fullness and preeminence of Jesus and His outrageous all-consuming eternal love for YOU and your life!

Love in Jesus,

Whoever you are in the world reading this post, I would love and appreciate hearing your comments and feedback as God touches your heart through this poem!

Think about this long and hard.  It could very well change the way you live your everyday life.  What if Jesus walked into the room where you are?

What difference would it make to you personally if your favorite all-time hero, an international dignitary or world leader, a famous celebrity, or your prized superstar athlete, walked into your presence?  You can be sure you would be extremely excited and very impressed to respond in some fashion.  The atmosphere would be super charged by their presence and you would be hyper-sensitive to them.

How much more so would this be true if the Creator of the Universe and King of Kings presented Himself to you face to face.  This would truly create an immediate, dynamic, and direct bearing on your behavior in the presence of Jesus.  Would His real physical presence cause you to carefully weigh, examine, and clean up all your thoughts, words, and deeds?

The truth of the matter is that if you are a born again believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, then you take Him wherever you go because Jesus permanently dwells within you and is forever present.  You may not see Him physically, nevertheless, He is always with you in the unseen spiritual dimension.  He is an eternally present witness to every single thought, word, and deed that comes from your life.  The reality of that truth is sobering.

This blazing thought: What if Jesus walked into the room, was seared into my consciousness as I was preparing a tribute for an upcoming memorial service.  My friend had slipped the bonds of his temporary earthly life to transfer his occupancy to his permanent and eternal residence, where he would fully possess his true citizenship in heaven with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  What a glorious homecoming I truly believe he experienced.

While daydreaming on my bed, I pictured myself at the memorial service of my dear and genuine friend who was an honorable, godly man.  I paid tribute to him by reading a significant poem entitled, “The Dash,” by Linda Ellis.  The author poignantly articulates the essence of that little line between the date of one’s birth and death.  That dash represents one’s brief sojourn here on earth, in light of eternity, and how it is spent and invested, positively or negatively.

All of a sudden, in the middle of my thoughts, this supernatural vision appeared.  In utter amazement, I looked up as I was speaking and saw Jesus sitting right there in the sanctuary.  He was keenly observing with great joy the eulogies given in honor of His dear and faithful friend and servant.  My heart just about leaped out of my chest as I stood in His presence!  Oh how His very presence changes everything.

I remembered what Jesus said in Mathew 18:20, “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” He also said in Hebrews 13:5, “I will never leave you, nor forsake you.”

Jesus’ tangible presence set my mind ablaze with many questions.  Do you continually keep in the forefront of your conscious thinking the truth that Jesus is always supernaturally present to witness your entire life as it unfolds?  Do you let His Holy Spirit inform, direct and empower, your behavior moment by moment as you walk in covenant relationship with Him?  Is the way you present yourself, represent Jesus, and treat others, as well as yourself, pleasing in His sight?  Have you truly put Jesus, the Word of God, first place in all things?  Have you allowed Him to be in the driver’s seat of your life?  In these things your life will glorify Jehovah God.

You must always remember that all things are possible with Jesus.  Your part is to believe only, trust and obey, and do all things God’s way.  This is His way of supernatural abundant life.

I believe Jesus appeared to me in this vision so I would be inspired to encourage all those who have an ear to hear and a heart to believe what the Spirit of God is saying to them now.

A Word From Jesus

I am coming back soon!  Live not only as if I am present in your midst, but because I Am the Resurrection and the life, and I Am eternally present with you.  Live from the inside out, that is to say, live with a God-inside consciousness.  Live by My Holy Spirit inside of you, leading and showing the way that you should go.  I Am the way, the truth, and the life.  I am making My way for you because I loved you enough to send My only begotten Son to die for your sins, so you could be forever and eternally reconciled back to Me, the absolute and preeminent lover of your soul.

Live with eternity always in sight because I Am your eternal hope of glory.  I have called you by name, and I have predestined and ordained, before the foundation of the world, for you to be with Me in glory forever.  The choice is yours.  I love you with an everlasting love and as you walk through your earthly life, know that you can always call unto Me and I will answer you, for I am with you even until the end of the age.  Breathe every breath, think every thought, speak every word, and perform every deed, as if done unto Me,  for I Am with you always.  Let My very presence be the very standard by which you live.  Let My Word and My Spirit rule in your heart and mind, and I promise it will go well with you all the days of your life.

I faithfully remain your soon coming King, Lord, and Savior.

Love in Jesus,

My Prayer

Father God, Search me and create in me a clean heart that I might not sin against You.  I repent from every thought, word, and deed I have committed, either consciously or subconsciously, that was not pleasing in Your sight.  Please forgive me and help me begin afresh each day by the power of Your Holy Spirit, so I can be all that You have called me to be, in Jesus name.  Amen.

Upon waking I was feeling very weepy over my 90-year old Mother after returning from my Valentine’s Day visit with her in Maryland.  It is so hard and painful to see her struggling, hurting (physically, emotionally and mentally) and getting older in the assisted living place where she lives.  I put on a worship CD called “Arthur Hymns & More” by Rev.  Arthur Hallett.  He was an Evangelism Explosion International Speaker at my church last Sunday.  He is an anointed speaker, singer and musician.

I was drawn to one of his songs called, “Somebody’s Praying.”  He sang about feeling angels around him and others praying for him. It quickened me when he sang about knowing Jesus was praying for him.  It strengthened my heart when he sang, “Jesus, don’t stop praying for me!”  This gave me great comfort regarding my Mom and myself because I know that Jesus is at the right hand of the Father interceding for all of His children.

Jesus knew how heavy my heart was and He so lovingly spoke this word to my spirit.

#WFJ: The Great I Am Is With You

My Child, I am coming soon to bring reconciliation from the top of the world to the bottom of the world and all the way around.  Do not give up hope because Jesus is your hope of glory.  I Am your High Priest and Chief Intercessor and I am praying for you.

Don’t stop praying to Me for I Am your very life and lifeline and I ask you to pray for each other.  I attend to the words of your prayers.  Speak faith filled words.  Speak My Word in all you say for those are the words of life I am bound by covenant to answer and bring to pass, for I Am faithful and The God of My Word.  You can count on Me, but you first have to trust who I Am.

I Am all you need and I take care of your needs when you call unto Me.  Cast your cares on Me.  I Am your burden bearer.  I did not create and design you to carry heavy burdens but to carry everything to Me in Prayer.  I’ve called you to be strong and courageous.  I have called you to be more than conquerors.  I have called you to be strong in Me and in the power of My might, not yours.

I am right here beside you and in you.  I overcame and defeated for all eternity the works of the evil one, the strongman and ruler of this world.  He is nothing too hard for Me to handle, so trust Me to step in when the going gets rough.  Look up and keep your eyes on Me, for your redemption draws near.  I Am the God of justice and I make and have made everything right.

Remember who you are in Me!  Your are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.  That is your position in Me.  Jesus is at My mighty right hand and you are in Christ, so fear not.  Fear nothing because all the devil has to offer you is fear, discouragement, distraction, death and destruction.  He wants to lead you down a path away from Me and the truth of My Word and who you are in Me.  Don’t listen to his lies.  Don’t entertain one single thought he throws your way.

Do all to resist him.  Turn to Me.  Follow Me.  Trust and obey My Word for it is spirit, life, and health unto your flesh and very soul.  My grace is sufficient for you.  I Am ALL you need, My child.  I love you with an everlasting love.  I have provided everything that pertains to life and godliness just for you.  Believe Me and receive all My gifts and love I freely offer you.  You are the apple of My eye and I never stop thinking about you.

Come with Me.  Draw close to Me so I can draw close to you.  That is My promise to you.  When you draw close to Me I Am there.  I am here for you every step of your way and have been there before you were formed in your mother’s womb, and I will not leave you or forsake you.  Stay on My path of truth, light and life.  Attend to and meditate on My holy Word for it truly is a light to your path and will guide you and keep you by My side as you follow Me.

Look for the Jesus of the bible.  When you wonder where your God is look at Jesus.  He is the exact duplicate, perfection, image and likeness of Me.  So follow Jesus of the bible.  Say what He says and do what He does/did because He is always faithful to Me.  I kept Him and preserved Him from all the works of the enemy and I will do the same for you, for you are just as precious to Me and loved in My sight.

Remember when you hold fast to Me – the joy of the Lord who is your strength -  then you will be alright.  Let it be said of you that in all circumstances, “It is well with my soul.”  I Am with you and love you, My child.  Be strong in Me and I will fight for you.  I Am Almighty God and there is no other.  Be at peace and never let go of your faith in Me.  I will surely carry you through and bring you safely home with Me.  It is well with your soul because the great I Am is with you always!

Final Exhortations from Phillipians 4

⁴ Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! ⁵ Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. ⁶ Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. ⁷ And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

⁸ Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. ⁹ Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

¹⁰ I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. ¹¹ I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. ¹² I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. ¹³ I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

Thank You, Father, that you are Almighty God and You perfect those things that concern me.  I choose to praise, worship and glorify Your holy name in all the circumstances of life.  Thank you for loving me, never forsaking me, and for blessing me all the days of my life with Your presence, in Jesus name.  Amen.

Years ago God gave me a vision for my life.  This blog is a result of that vision!  I have been called to be: A pen in God’s hand giving “LOVE” a voice.

Little did I know that when I plunged into the online world of social media that it would create a global platform for my blog, “GOD WHISPERS.” Through the wonderful world of blogging I have made so many wonderful Kingdom connections.  This is what God is really all about – BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS AND BUILDING HIS FAMILY.

I want to share a poem I was inspired to write about the power of our words, especially God-given words.  After all it was through God’s own Word that He created and framed the world.

Our words are amazing containers that carry the power of life and death, blessings and curses.  What will you choose to carry and release through the power of your own words?

GODLY WORDS

by Nancy E. Slocum

God’s words are sacred.
God’s words are seed.
God’s words are spirit,
And of such we have need.

God’s words are containers,
They carry his treasure,
They brought us sweet Jesus,
The Truth, his divine measure.

He was all wrapped in flesh
And walked in this earth,
On a mission from heaven
To save souls through a new birth.

Sacred breath was bestowed on us
Through his Word from above,
So when we exhale it,
We carry his love.

I will guard my own heart
And harness my tongue,
To speak nothing but blessings
On the winds of my lungs.

I’ve been given a mission
To give LOVE a voice,
In words, art, and action,
It’s expression my choice.

This calling to love, Lord,
With reverence I receive,
By your grace may I live it,
Because I believe.

My heart jumped for joy
In this holy collision,
You answered my prayer, Lord,
Be thou my vision.

By your sweet Spirit
May I truly be led,
With godly perfection,
Your people will be fed.

A sumptuous banquet
Will God’s Word provide,
Rise up, oh church,
In unity preside.

Tell my beloved body
I need all its parts
To accomplish my mission
To save souls through one heart.

Cast off your cares,
Step out of your chains,
Do the will of your Father,
And be not constrained.

Run life’s race freely,
By my Word be empowered,
Your destiny is within you,
By your faith will it flower.

One cannot conceive
All the beauty I wrought
To secure your grand future,
By my blood it was bought.

Do all things on earth
With eternity in sight,
Your reward will be great,
And known by all in heaven’s light.

Now go to the nations,
Spread my Word, do your part,
So whoever receives Me,
Will come home to my heart.

Love in Jesus,

Father God, thank You for these godly words to bless Your people all over the world.  I know Your words are life and spirit to all flesh.  Prepare the hearts of those who will be led to this blog to receive your life giving words.  Thank You that they will not return to You void, but will bear much fruit for your Glory in Jesus name.  Amen.

I woke up at 6: am from a dream.  Before me, out of nowhere, appeared an open shimmering golden envelope.  I knew it was an anointed invitation from the throne of God.  I was compelled to read and receive its content after I heard in my spirit the first line that said. “ To show Our way of love…”

I didn’t even try to “see” the rest of the dream.  I just knew I had to grab my journal and start writing what the prophetic invitation was declaring.

This was the #WFJ (Word From Jesus) I received in my spirit.

#WFJ: THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CROSS

To show our way of love… this is an invitation to walk the path of the glory of God conceived in the mind of God and made possible by the shed blood of Jesus through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.  This is an invitation from the Holy Trinity to walk out an anointed life.  When you follow the scarlet thread you will experience vibrant dynamic life that was designed for you before the foundation.

This scarlet thread is your lifeline because there is life and power in the blood.  This lifeline is a mighty rushing river coursing from the throne of God from heaven to earth.  One must be fully engaged and fully connected in order to receive all full benefits.  It is like a divine IV (intravenous connection).  It supplies all needs and is one’s total supply and lifeline.

Come to the river of life and drink deeply.  Know that without this water you shall surely die.  Make it your only source of LIFE.  Do not fall away from it, trade it for other gods, do not dishonor it or esteem it lightly.

This river of life is ushering in the greatest move of God’s glory the world has ever seen.  Nothing in all creation will stop it and it will be poured out on all flesh!  Will you be one who will see it, believe it, embrace it and flow in its current as it courses full force back to the throne of God in heaven in the “CIRCLE OF LIFE.”

Inquire of Me 24/7 through the power of prayer, My divine path of communication, what My will is, and commit your life as Jesus did to follow it.  This is THE DIVINE INVITATION TO PICK UP YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOW JESUS.  He is the way, the truth and the life.  He laid it all down so you could be raised from death, man’s way, to life in Christ, God’s divine way.

Most people’s vision stops with Jesus crucified and hanging on the cross.  HE CAME OFF THAT CROSS GLORIFIED SO YOU COULD LIVE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CROSS, THE SIDE OF GLORY AND FULL VICTORY!  This is where your focus and footsteps must be if you want any and all parts of Me.

I came off that cross, therefore, you came off that cross too if you are in Christ, in Me.  NOW WALK LIKE IT, THINK LIKE IT, AND BELIEVE LIKE IT!  This is true.  You are empowered by My Holy Spirit, the same Spirit that Jesus lived by.  Don’t ever consider or believe the enemy’s lies that I am not with you!

THIS IS THE INVITATION YOU ACCEPTED WHEN YOU ACCEPTED JESUS AS YOUR SAVIOR AND LORD.  NOW FINISH IT AS HE DID BY LIVING, ABIDING AND DWELLING RICHLY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CROSS!  HE SAID WHILE HANGING ON THAT CROSS, “IT IS FINISHED!!!”  NOW IT IS FOR YOU TO LIVE THE REST OF YOUR LIFE IN THE TRUTH, REALITY AND FULL EXPRESSION OF MY GLORY.  FOLLOW ME.  BE FILLED AND REMAIN BEING FILLED WITH MY GLORY AND YOU SHALL SURELY ABIDE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CROSS.  GLORIFY ME THIS WAY AND YOU WILL LIVE A LIFE FULL OF MY GLORY AND POWER.

Now go in peace.  Mighty exploits and visitations await you.  REMEMBER ALWAYS – MY DUNAMIS LIFE IS FOUND ONLY IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS.  REJOICE ALWAYS AND LIVE IN ME, THE GLORIFIED ONE AND THE GLORY OF ALL NATIONS.

YOUR SOON COMING KING

Love in Jesus,

We had an awesome morning service and then a powerful Miracle Service at 6 pm.  In the morning after our anointed praise and worship ushered in the presence of God, Lenny Whettle came forward with a word to the church.  He spoke of what the Lord had been showing him even before the fast started when we had our all night prayer service.  God is taking us forward step by step under Pastor Sam Luke’s leadership.  He emphasized that we must stay humble, obedient, and open to correction as we move forward in the great things of God ahead.

Pastor Sam also mentioned he had received a prophetic word  that morning that he would share on Wednesday night during bible study.  It was the word I received and got to him before the morning service.  He later told me in an email, “You will be amazed at how similar the word that God gave you for the church is to what the Lord prompted me to teach for the next 3 weeks.”

It  was amazing and thrilling indeed for me to hear, especially the day after the fast ended.  I experienced a backlash from the enemy as he taunted and bombarded me with thoughts that all my prayers were to no avail and that my fast didn’t accomplish anything.

Pastor’s remark was a bright spot in my day.  His welcome confirmation let me know I had been flowing in the spirit and that God is sovereign.  It’s comforting and reassuring to know God’s plans will be accomplished one way or another regardless of the enemy’s ploys.  How great our God truly is!

Prayer Power

Lord God Almighty,  Thank you for Your faithfulness and for all the mighty things You did through Your people as we committed ourselves to You and were obedient to fast and pray.  Thank You for all the testimonies that will come forth through out this New Year.  We give you all the praise and glory in Jesus matchless name!  Amen.

Revelations 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony;

#WFJ: The State of Union Path For The Bride of Christ

Daughter, I am directing your steps, even your thoughts as you honor Me during your fast.  I have riches and true wealth for you as you come away and honor Me by being in My presence.  Just like Mary, you have chosen the best part to sit at My feet and learn of Me, for it is in My presence that you are transformed from faith to faith and glory to glory.

All is well in My presence for I am the wealth of all there is in the universe.  I Am its very source.  It all belongs to Me.  And I desire that My wisdom and true wealth of all spiritual understanding (that leads to financial riches) flow from My throne of grace and glory.  I honor and bless those (which includes great reward) who truly hunger and thirst for the mind of Christ to be opened to them and flowing like a mighty river from My throne on high.

By engaging (as in betrothel) the mind of Christ, I allow and orchestrate the coming together of heaven and earth through my body, the bride of Christ.  This is the unity and consummation I am looking for in this earth.  My eyes go to and fro looking for those who will be faithful to Me.  I am bringing My entire body to this “State of Union.”  That is the bride I’m coming back for.

Prepare yourself.  Get in alignment.  Seek My face, for in the face and presence of your King you are transformed and become what you behold, and that is the very nature of My Son who lights up the world.  You must choose by faith to continually gaze in the face of Jesus and become one with Him in all of His ways as you fix your eyes and heart on the mirror of the Word, believe only, and obey therein.

In (doing) this, transformation will take place because My Word produces My zoe life.  My root produces Kingdom fruit.  I’m calling My bride forth into zoe life as she has never known before.  The shackles and yokes have been destroyed by the precious blood of Jesus, and it’s time for My bride to don and truly possess her royal wedding garments so she can walk (traverse) the aisle of My holy Kingdom.

This holy aisle is the path to all that I Am and all that I own!  And on this sacred path alone, My Kingdom will come on earth as it is in heaven.  The two shall become one in holy matrimony and consummation.  When whosever receives (takes) Jesus into their heart as Savior and Lord is when they became one with Me in spirit – a new creation.

That was the door opener to life in Christ.  The journey of the believer is to prepare herself to BE the bride of Christ until she reaches full maturity.  Then will I come back to earth to receive her unto Myself and take her to heaven to rule and reign with Me.  Then will I give her a glorified body like Mine.

No eye has seen what I have in store for My glorious bride.  Prepare – for I am coming soon.  Watch and pray.  Look up – for your redemption is drawing near.

Love in Jesus,

Father God, by the power of  Your precious Holy Spirit and the blood of the Lamb, help Your bride come to full maturity in Christ.  Cause us to desire to come to that State of Union with You so the world will see a full demonstration of Your power.  May You be glorified in this earth before You return to take Your people home in the matchless name of Jesus.  Amen.

My Pastor has been teaching on the power of prevailing prayer in preparation for an all night prayer service on New Year’s Eve. This will position us to usher in 2011 with the right spirit for what is to come.  Then from January 10-30, we will be doing a 21 day corporate fast.  We will become sensitive to God’s activity in this world as well as appropriate the victory Jesus has already accomplished in any and every area of our lives.

We are fasting for all kinds of specific goals such as: salvation of lost loved ones and other’s souls, physical healing, the restoration of a marriage or family, financial breakthrough, spiritual renewal, guidance, grace to handle a difficult situation and so on.

We are expecting mighty miracles and spiritual breakthroughs that may not otherwise come out except by prayer and fasting!  Consider a time of prayer and fasting yourself to set the tone and pattern for the rest of your New Year.

Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled.  (Mathew 5:6).

#WFJ: UNITY WITH THE FATHER BY PRAYER AND FASTING

My Child, Get ready for an extended time of prayer and fasting.  I have much to say to you.  It is always my desire to commune with you and share with you what is on my heart.  I always honor those who honor Me.

It is true that those who draw near to Me will cause Me to draw near to them.  I am right here for you at all times no matter what the hour.  I am as close as your next breath, your next thought, your next action.

Just as the Son and I are one I want that to be true of you and Me.  I love you as much as I love Jesus and I am right here for you as I was and am for Him.  During this time of prayer and fasting I want you to focus on unity with Me, just as Jesus and I are one.  You will become more sensitive to the things I am speaking to your heart and showing you to do.  In fact I was right there when you had that thought that you wanted to operate more like Jesus and I, and say only what you hear Me saying and only doing what you see Me doing.

It was I who communicated that desire to you because it is My desire for us to walk in intimate fellowship and unity.  It is entirely possible and it begins with your hearts desire and intention, for I look on the heart.  Out of the heart flow the issues of life.  I want you to tap the root of My endless love for you and to flow with its powerful current so you can be fully alive to Me and all that I have provided for you that pertains to life and godliness.  I will show it to you as you tap into My frequency.

I do not ask My children to do anything I haven’t given them the power to do.  That is why I sent My Word as the prime example and role model to follow.  He (Jesus) is more than enough and My grace covers it all.  My Holy Spirit is your enabling power.

In your 21 day season of prayer and fasting see it as a Holy Ghost Boot Camp that is training you for supernatural survival, which it is.  My body, the body of Christ, has been lacking power for too long and it is time for the manifestation of the sons and daughters of the Most High God to demonstrate My power in this earth.  This can only happen when My children are rooted and grounded in Me (who is love) and the true vine.

You must be one with Me and discern My will for you and the way I want to lead you at all times.  As sap runs through a vine to keep it alive so it is with Me.  The life is in the blood and the blood of Jesus is your lifeline.  My blood covenant is all-powerful, all consuming, all protective and all provisional.  It is everything you need not just to survive but thrive as more than a conqueror in Christ.

As I said, the life is in the blood.  It is the essential ingredient that keeps one alive, however, it is the blood of Jesus that puts one over and into the realm of victory with life in Christ Jesus.  This is the demonstration of power the world is hungry and groaning to see.

In your time of prayer and fasting draw close to your very source of life itself in My full power and glory.  Draw your strength from Me.  Practice the mind of Christ and the faith of Christ for it is in you waiting to be tapped.

I invite you to come to the Garden of Gethsemane as My dear Son did.  Come with the heart of Jesus.  Come with the mind of Christ that was to do the will of the Father.  Let it be true of you as it was with Him when his driving motive was,  “Nevertheless, not my will but your will be done!”

This is that place of radical obedience, love, true worship and submission that I want you to come to and abide in so you will bear the kind of fruit I have designed and destined you to bear since before the foundation of the world.  When you walk and talk and obey and believe like Jesus is when you will bear much good fruit like Jesus.

You hold the very same power in your heart as Jesus did when you were born from above and My love was shed abroad in your heart.  I gave you My Holy Spirit to lead you into all truth.  I am truth.  I am the way and the life.  Those who worship Me must worship Me in spirit and in truth.  You have everything you need within you, just like Jesus did, in order to walk in victory.

You have My faith, the faith of God.  Now use it as Jesus used it and as I have commanded you to use so I can work on your behalf and show Myself faithful.  The world is waiting and watching to see a demonstration of true power like none other.  Let Me out of the box.  Take off the limits and put Me on, for I Am the Almighty Unlimited One.  Come into full agreement with Me and let Me be the great I Am the world is dying to see, know and experience for themselves.

Now come away with Me, My beloved, just as Jesus did, and you will bear much good fruit.  Come and be blessed that I may pour Myself out as a drink offering through you, that others may know My blessing too.  I offer full shalom as the one and only true Prince of Peace.

You are My living stones and as such are part and parcel of a true living and eternal peace treaty of the King of Kings signed in the blood of Jesus.  Partake of your rich inheritance.  Don’t be a pauper and live beneath your full privileges as a child of the Most High King.  Do it My way and others will be drawn into the eternal Kingdom of God.  Rejoice, for this is My plan and heart’s desire.  In your obedience you will find your true fulfillment also!

Love in Jesus,

Prayer Power

Abba Father, I commit to coming away with you in this most intimate and miraculous set aside time of prayer and fasting.  My will is to know and do Your will.  Show me, teach me and tell me things I don’t know or clearly understand, have forgotten or need to reinstate.  Search my heart and show me those things where I am out of unity with You so I can realign myself and pray only those prayers that You answer “YES” to, in Jesus name I pray.

It is 3:25 Christmas Eve morning and I cannot sleep.  I cannot stop thinking about you.  I am imagining what it must have been like so long ago when you were born and presented to the world.  I seek your face and divine presence just as those lowly shepherds did.

The evening sky was ablaze with heavenly light as the angel announced Your glorious birth:

^{Luke 2: 1-20}

¹And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.

²(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)

³And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

⁴And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)

⁵To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

⁶And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

⁷And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

⁸And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

⁹And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

¹⁰And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

¹¹For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

¹²And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

¹³And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

¹⁴Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

¹⁵And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

¹⁶And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.

¹⁷And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.

¹⁸And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.

¹⁹But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.

²⁰And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.  (Isaiah 9:6).

Precious Jesus, I bow my head and heart and simply worship and adore You as my personal Lord and Savior!  Thank you, Father God, for the greatest gift the world will ever know: the everlasting life and abiding presence of Your dear Son and His unconditional love for anyone and everyone who will simply believe and accept Him!

I will never forget the moment and circumstances when I accepted You into my heart, Jesus.  My life was changed forevermore.  There is absolutely nothing that compares or even comes close to Your mercy, goodness and grace.

It boggles my natural mind to know that You, the divine all powerful Almighty God and Creator of this world would humble and wrap Yourself in human flesh just to make Yourself known to me!  You came to identify with me.  You are Immanuel, God with us.  I am so grateful you love me that much and desire to be in an intimate eternal relationship with me!

Jesus, forgive us for getting so preoccupied with all the commercialism and preparation of Christmas instead of focusing and being wrapped up in Your very presence and love which is the true meaning and significance of the Christ in Christmas!

May each one of us slow down long enough to prepare a permanent manger in our heart to receive and abide with You, Jesus, as our personal Lord and Saviour.  May we consciously decide to commit to intimately walk and talk with You forever in all of our ways as You so desire and deserve from us.

My heart is filled with Your peace, love and joy, Jesus!  I bless You and give You all praise, honor and glory.  I love You with all that is within me.  I thank You for loving me and shedding your precious blood on the tree of life to redeem me and reconcile me back to God the Father!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, SWEET JESUS!  TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY!  HALLELUJAH AND AMEN!

A Word From Jesus

My dear sweet Nancy,

I thank you and receive your love and birthday blessings with honor and joy.  It delights My heart that you took the time to stop and cherish Me and My love for you.

Relationship cannot happen in a vacuum.  It is a living breathing ongoing thing.  Relationship is a process and it is what I designed mankind for.  So it delights this Father’s heart when My children choose to engage in intimate fellowship with Me.

I honor and respect your free will and do not force you to love Me because that is not love.  I first chose and loved you and made it possible for you to love Me.  My love is supernatural and divine.  Your love is human, however when you chose to receive My love and receive Me as your personal Lord and Savior, I supernaturally shed my divine love abroad in your heart.

When we came into a blood covenant through the shed blood of my dear Son Jesus is when it became possible for you to love with My kind of love.  This is what your journey is all about.  By My Holy Spirit I will teach and lead you into all truth and conform you into the image of My dear Son.  It is a glorious process as you follow Me from faith to faith and glory to glory.

Trust Me and My holy Word for it is your very life, a life of victory and abundance as you walk with Me.  I want you to enjoy your daily moment by moment journey, for I have ordained a glorious plan for your life.

Stick with Me and you will live out the full days and plan I have for you.  Do not be afraid.  Be strong and of good courage knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that I have you firmly in the palm of my hand.  In fact, your name is engraved there because you belong to Me and I love you!  This is true for all of My children in the world.

Let every day be Christmas in your heart for I am the living eternal Christ, the anointed One and His anointing.  As long as you keep me enthroned in the manger of your heart you will experience My everlasting life filled with Me who is your all in all, your strength, Prince of Peace, joy, and perfect love that never fails or gives up on you.

Rest, trust, and make it your lifestyle to have faith in Me and like Me and you will truly be satisfied in this life and the life to come with Me in your heavenly mansion I have prepared for you.

Let your heart be merry and light for I Am the Light of the world and I am making your way bright with My goodness and glory.  Follow Me and let My light in you shine so others will see Me and find their way home to My heart.  In this I am glorified.  Thank you, My child.  I love you with an everlasting love.  Be at peace always for I am always with you!  I will never leave or forsake you.  Let My joy rule and reign in your life.  Selah.

Your Father, Saviour and Lord

I have always loved using alliteration to pronounce and make things stand out in my writing.  I was curious why it popped up now. I wondered, Holy Spirit, are You leading me into a strategic stance of pronounced praise and worship simply to greatly glorify Your goodness and to declare dominion rule over the devil’s devious schemes to destroy me?

On Sunday my pastor gave an anointed message about overcoming problems and the power of praise.  Praise is the greatest weapon a believer has to overcome Satan and the powers of darkness.  The truth is that God inhabits the praises of His people and the devil does not stand a chance to defeat us in the presence of God.  Praise must be our permanent offensive weapon and habitual stance!

Therefore, I praise You, Lord God, and thank you that the victory belongs to me because of the blood bought covenant Your beloved Son Jesus procured and sealed for my redemption and eternal position and place in You and with You on earth as it is in heaven.

Years ago I read Benny Hinn’s book, “Welcome, Holy Spirit.” He taught me so much about the Holy Spirit I did not know.  Then on April 21, 1997, when I was baptized in the Holy Spirit with evidence of speaking in other tongues, my prayer life was revolutionized and changed forever.

Benny Hinn – Welcome holly Spirit 3 min – May 9, 2007 Uploaded by pasaribujc youtube.com

Confess [your] faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.  (James 5:16).

Truthfully, mere humans run out of language and the ability to know what to pray in order to get effective results.  Who, other than God’s own Holy Spirit, is more qualified to teach, lead, direct and literally pray through us the perfect Word and will of God?

And in the same way the Spirit also helps our weaknesses; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.  (Romans 8:26-27).

It absolutely boggles my mind to think that the God of all creation loved us enough to choose to come and dwell inside of us by the power of His own Holy Spirit.  Thank you, Lord God, for making a way to take up permanent residence within us by our simple invitation to ask you to come in.

I recently read on a church sign outdoors,  “God doesn’t want just weekend visitation, He wants full custody.”

Ask yourself, “Does God have full custody of me and everything in every area of my life?   IF NOT…WHY NOT?  WHAT’S STOPPING ME FROM GIVING GOD FULL CUSTODY OF ALL MY THOUGHTS, WORDS AND DEEDS?

If you are tired of the status quo and of being stuck, broke, defeated, ineffective without desired results, sick, and/or without hope, peace and joy, then do it God’s way all the way and BE more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus!

Read, study, listen to, and understand God’s holy Word so you can get into agreement with Him and then declare what He declares to, over and about YOU.  Then you will  habitually enjoy the abundant life He already provided for you.  The choice is yours to have the perfect will of God operating in your life…OR NOT!

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.  (Joshua 1:8, 9).

Face the truth.  There is not enough paper, ink, or adequate words in the universe to accurately describe the omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent power of Almighty Jehovah God!  That is the supreme alliteration about God.

Even the bible couldn’t hold it all, however, it is your sure foundation and very real way for the victorious life in Christ Jesus.

6:07 AM (6 – the number for: Weakness of man; Manifestation of sin: Evils of Satan -  touching 7 – the number for: Resurrection; Spiritual completeness; Fathers perfection.

I woke up at 6:07 AM with such a strong stirring in my spirit.  It was like a fire in my gut. I started praying in the spirit and I kept repeating the word tah-tee-yah. I asked the Lord what that meant and this is the Word He gave me:

#WFJ: TOUCH MY PRESENCE AND DUNAMIS POWER

TOUCH MY PRESENCE, THE PRESENCE OF MY DUNAMIS POWER like they did on the Day of Pentecost when they waited for Me and were so hungry for My very presence, as I commanded them to do.

Along with My presence comes My dunamis power. This is what the earth is groaning for and the people of this earth who are made from the dust of this earth. The earth is groaning to see the manifestation of the sons of God.  It is groaning for My divine order because sin has corrupted My holy order and put things out of whack.

Romans 8:19-25:

For [even the whole] creation (all nature) waits expectantly and longs earnestly for God’s sons to be made known [waits for the revealing, the disclosing of their sonship].

For the creation (nature) was subjected to frailty (to futility, condemned to frustration), not because of some intentional fault on its part, but by the will of Him Who so subjected it–[yet] with the hope

That nature (creation) itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and corruption [and gain an entrance] into the glorious freedom of God’s children.

We know that the whole creation [of irrational creatures] has been moaning together in the pains of labor until now.⁾

And not only the creation, but we ourselves too, who have and enjoy the first fruits of the [Holy] Spirit [a foretaste of the blissful things to come] groan inwardly as we wait for the redemption of our bodies [from sensuality and the grave, which will reveal] our adoption (our manifestation as God’s sons).

For in [this] hope we were saved. But hope [the object of] which is seen is not hope. For how can one hope for what he already sees?

But if we hope for what is still unseen by us, we wait for it with patience and composure (perseverance).

What you are sensing in your spirit is the stirring of the sleeping giant within. Now is the time for the body of Christ to arise and flex its dunamis power and authority I have given to you to put things back in order in this earth.

There is a spiritual battle raging in the heavenlies against the Kingdom of God by the forces of darkness and evil.  Those who do not believe there is a devil and a kingdom of evil is deceived.  I have said to you before that you are either for Me or against Me.  There is no demilitarized zone.  I Am Jehovah God, the Creator of this universe, and if I be for you than who can be against you?

I tell you who is against Me.  It is Satan.  He hates Me and he hates you (My creation), because his pride and “attempt” to become greater than the Most High God got him cast out of My Kingdom.

Make no mistake in thinking that his power is equal to mine! It absolutely is not but he is a very real force to reckon with.  Nevertheless, I have given My people power and authority to overcome the powers, principalities and rulers of darkness, so don’t you ever forget that Greater am I who is in you than the devil who is in this world!

IT IS NO CONTEST!  WHEN THE SLEEPING GIANT (MY CHURCH) WAKES UP AND GETS IN TOUCH WITH MY PRESENCE AND DUNAMIS POWER AVAILABLE ON THE INSIDE OF THEM, THINGS WILL START TO CHANGE AND TURN AROUND FOR THEIR GOOD!

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.  (Eph 3:20).

When is My church going to take Me at My Word and truly believe what I say and that My word is creative power available to them whenever they need it? It is within your born again spirit man.  It is even in your mouth for therein lies the power of life and death.  I have given it to you and all you have to do is speak it out with a heart full of faith and I will back you up because I Am My Word and I cannot lie or compromise My Word.

THIS IS THE DOMINION RULE, POWER AND AUTHORITY I HAVE GIVEN YOU.  MY CREATIVE PRESENCE AND POWER WAS DESIGNED TO COME OUT OF YOUR INNERMOST BEING THROUGH YOUR MOUTH AND THROUGH MY HOLY WORD.

THAT WORD, THE INCORRUPTIBLE SEED IN THE FORM OF MY DEAR SON JESUS, WAS BORN FROM ABOVE INSIDE YOUR SPIRIT THE MOMENT YOU TOOK ME AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR!

You were made in My image and likeness.  When you invited Me to come and live on the inside of you is when heaven “touched” (tot-tee-yah) earth – when the Kingdom was at hand for you and within you!

That is why I command you in My Word to be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  When you renew your mind to come in alignment with the mind of Christ is when you will start operating like Me. You will think, speak and act like Me the way I planned and designed for you to live and be in this earth as Adam did in the Garden of Eden in the beginning.

Of course you know he abdicated that power when he disobeyed Me. You also know that I took back the keys to death, hell and the grave and restored My power and authority to you FOR WHEN YOU CHOOSE TO OPERATE IN IT!  WHEN WILL YOU SIMPLY DECIDE TO RETURN TO THE GARDEN AND LIVE MY BLESSING WAY OF LIFE?

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.  (Gen 1:28).

Rise up, My church, and discern and be My body in this earth! I have given you everything you need to be this and do this by My mighty power.  When you keep Me as the head/headship of your own body, then you will rule and reign in this earth with Me.

Nancy, you saw this in action last night at the Miracle Service at Victory Tabernacle Church of God (Richmond, VA).  That is what was stirring in your spirit this morning.  It was a taste, a touch, an awakening of how things ought to operate according to My Word, plan and purposes.

You witnessed Pastor Sam Luke under My headship, touching and operating in my mighty power.  He was thinking like, talking like and acting like Me.  There was no wavering, no division and no lack of My mighty dunamis power!

As He spoke what He heard me speaking and as he did what he saw Me doing, people were being supernaturally healed, set free and given a word from Me!  There was a transference of my power and anointing to change things in people’s lives and this is how I want My people to be supernaturally living on a daily basis.

You, My people, are My holy temples.  Make Me a holy habitation so you can be carriers of my consuming fire, the same fire that came on the Day of Pentecost to those in the Upper Room!  It is the same Holy Spirit and the same holy fire I desire for you to carry wherever you go to transform this earth and restore My order.

And when the day of Pentecost was 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 all the house where they were sitting.  And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.  And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.  (Acts 2:1-4).

BE A CHURCH ON FIRE FOR MY GLORY!

Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.  Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.  Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.  (Math 5:14-16).

ARE YOU WILLING TO BE LIKE ME AND GET MY RESULTS?  IF SO, STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND SAY, “HERE I AM LORD, USE ME IN JESUS NAME!”

Love in Jesus,

Nancy Slocum
