“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,

Nancy Slocum

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!

This is the church’s finest hour and the appointed time for us to manifest God’s  Kingdom here on earth as it is in heaven by the power of His Holy Spirit!  Rejoice in all the intense trials, tribulations and attacks of the enemy because it means we are doing damage to the kingdom of darkness.

Since we are experiencing such an onslaught of great a trials it means that we must be doing something great for God that the enemy deems fit and  worthy to be attacked and attempted to stop and, at the very least, attacked simply because of whose we are.

We are children and joint heirs of the Most High God.  The devil hates God and seeks to kill, steal and destroy anything that belongs to Him!  Take heart and do not quit or faint knowing that we are on the winning side and we cannot fail in Christ!  Be bold and courageous.  Do not fear for He will not leave or forsake us until it is finished!

Love in Jesus,

THE TRUMPET by BILL BURNS

I prophesy to you that the Feast of Trumpets will birth a new season that will come into full manifestation and go forth in great strength into 2012.  This will be the beginning of God’s government becoming very, very apparent to us.  The blessings of that government will come when we are living under His rule.  We are equipped by those things that He gives to us and made ready to go all the way into this new thing that God is going to do.  You don’t want to miss out on it.

Purpose in yourself to get in on that which God is going to do.  Establish yourself in that understanding, knowing full well that the Day of the Lord comes into manifestation through His divine government.  You will see it.  You will know how to live in t.  You will know how to operate in it.  You will know exactly what that means for you individually, and then you can go from glory to glory into the purposes of God who knows all things and brings forth prophetic destiny by the power of His Spirit.

Come now, My children, into a perfect truth, a present truth of that which I am doing. For, in the days that are before you that lead from this point until the time that you call The Feasts of Tabernacles, there will be an outflow, overflow, an infusion of My Spirit in such magnitude that it will elevate you in the kingdom of the Most Holy, to a place where your feet will be like hinds feet in high places. Your eyes will be open that you may see, observe and understand the reality of My kingdom in ways that you have not yet experienced, for these are the days of revelation. These are the days of the anointing of My Spirit that rests upon you that breaks the yoke of every bondage. The anointing will pave the way before you so that you will not stumble, and you will have no doubt. You will walk on this path, and in your excitement of it, great things will be accomplished by you, My people, says the Lord of Hosts. Enjoy the journey. Walk in faith.

Go forth with great joy, for indeed these are the days of the manifestation of My kingdom.  In these days the reality of a supernatural church will begin to be understood in the land and will be according to My purposes, says the Lord.  It is My will for My people to live in the glory of the supernatural realm.  The supernatural events that you desire to see will become a reality, which will establish you in a greater measure of faith than ever before.  So, arise and come forth into kingdom purpose, says the Lord God Almighty.

Walk in faith – kingdom purpose in this season is to bring God’s people into a fullness of faith so that the Kingdom of God can be demonstrated.

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS

The external circumstances that have taken you down will now seem insignificant compared to the strength you have gained through endurance. Your experiences have established character and a level of maturity otherwise unattainable. Rejoice in your survival!

In the coming season simplicity will lead to the profound. Refuse to allow complications to take you off course. Your task is to eliminate distractions in order to gain spiritual depth. That will mean a shift in focus from satisfying fleshly desire to developing a spiritual desire to be one with Me, says the Lord. This shift in desire will require discipline and self-control, but the outcome will be worth your effort. For, you will certainly see the manifestation of My glory as you continue to seek first the kingdom of God.

Maximize every opportunity to be in My presence and to do My work. Don’t be afraid to exercise your faith. I will make a very clear distinction between presumption and a faith, which cannot be shaken or dissuaded. You will know exactly where you stand.

If you will put your trust completely in Me, says the Lord, you will experience true unity. This is a season when you will no longer stretch up as on your tiptoes to try to understand revelation or to see and discern as an external exercise. Rather, you will become one with Me as I am one with My Father, and you will know spiritual reality—not as something to be received or attained, but as a result of being joined to My heart. It will be the overflow of intimacy.

Don’t waste time on any religious exercise. Take advantage of every moment available to seek My face, hear My voice, and obey My leading. Plant the seed of a spiritual desire to yield completely and instantly to the moving of My Spirit. Demonstrate the kingdom. Do your job with excellence and confidence. You will not be disappointed, says the Lord God Almighty!

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,

Nancy Slocum

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.

This was His reply:

WFJ: An Encouraging Word From God the Father

My child, it pleases your Father’s heart that you have set aside the time to sit with me for awhile.  I love to hear and read your heart and share with you My own.  This is the intimacy I long for with each and every one of My children.  I could never grow tired of communing with each one because I created each one uniquely and have a special relationship with each one as if they are the only one.

I designed all My people for relationship.  It is imperative, especially in these times, to draw near and stay close to My heart and will.  As the time draws near for Me to return for My church, the Bride of Christ, the world will grow darker and more corrupt, but fear not, for I have already overcome the world and defeated the enemy of every man’s soul.  My grace will abound much more, but My people must stay focused on Me and the things of My Word because I keep My promises and My spoken Word will not come back void but with multiplied fruit.

As heaven and the glory of My Kingdom come closer to invading this earth, the more things will be shaken.  All that’s not of Me will fight all the harder and much fiercer just to stay standing, but everything that opposes Me and My Son Jesus, the Word of God, shall come down and will bow their knee to the King of Glory.  The truth of My Word stands for all eternity and everything that is counterfeit will be destroyed.

I Am the God that speaks to His people, so those that have a listening heart and ears to hear what My Holy Spirit is saying shall indeed receive revelation, instruction and direction in these perilous times.  There is no need for My people to fear when they know My Word and trust in My mighty right hand that protects, preserves and provides for My own.

Stay in the secret place of the most High God.  Make Psalm 91 your permanent resting place.  Stay under cover underneath my sheltering arms, for I Am your fortress that never fails.  Stay built up in your most holy faith by praying in the Holy Ghost which is My perfect will for you.  Continue to watch and pray for your redemption is drawing closer and closer.  Make fasting and praying a lifestyle.

Remember that your faith works by love, so do not let anything hinder My love that was shed abroad in your heart from spreading outward to cover this earth.  I have blessed you to be a blessing to all people, even your enemies and those who despitefully use you.  So keep your mouth a pure and holy vessel of honor unto me and let not anything flow out of it that does not bless others.  Do not allow curses or any idle words to come out of your mouth.  A curse or idle word is any word that does not line up with My Word.  I will not bless that and you will be sowing seeds of destruction that will cause you to reap an unwanted harvest, so be ever mindful of the power of your words.  If you desire to be a fount of blessing and oracle of the Lord, then say only the things I say and watch and see how I will bring a plentiful harvest into your life.

Stay strong, My child.  Be of good courage and keep My Word first place in your heart and mouth.   Know that My Kingdom of heaven is backing you up all the way.  When you stand and keep standing for me I will stand for you, because I cannot nor will not violate My own Word.  When you stand for Me you cannot fail or fall because I Am your eternal wings and weight of glory that will uphold you no matter what.  So rejoice in all times and through all things knowing that I Am your great reward and will fail you not.  Let your spirit man stay fixed on Me and I will surely bring you all the way through to total victory.  Eye has not seen nor ear heard all that I have in store for you, so press on, My child, until your race is finished and you shall see Me face to face and be with Me in glory forever!  I love you and thank you for allowing Me to be your King of kings, Lord, Savior and Lover of your soul.  All is well when you belong to me lock, stock and barrel!

Your soon coming King

Love in Jesus,

Nancy Slocum

Prayer Power

Thank you, Father God, that You have given us the complete victory and all things that pertain to life and godliness.  Help us, by the power of Your Holy Spirit, to stay standing no matter what, and to finish our good fight of faith for Your glory in Jesus name!  Amen.

#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,

Prayer Power

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.

6:16 am on January 19, 2011, I jumped out of bed all excited about documenting a breakthrough I had in the middle of the night.  This came as a result of the following things Holy Spirit has been orchestrating recently:

1. Fasting and praying in the spirit
2. A God-given dream.  On Saturday, January 15, 2011, at Jack Bloxham’s anointed home fellowship group I was given a prophetic word by Bill Hawkins. “You’re dreams will flourish because He (God) has many things to say to you.”
3. An answer to my prayer.  I had e-mailed Virginia Morton yesterday to say I would miss our Marching Through Culpeper Prayer Call, because the Lord has me hibernating in the secret place with Him.  I asked her to have the group pray for me to:  “Please keep me in your prayers that I will make the most of my time with God during this 21 day fast and beyond; that I will hear and obey as He speaks to me; and that my prayer times will be rich, effective and bear much fruit for the Kingdom and glory of God.”
4. Virginia replied, “You will be missed but we will be praying for clarity in this critical Kingdom assignment.”
5. Joseph Peck also sent out an email yesterday saying, “Please pray for Nancy Slocum regularly as she and many in her church congregation are seeking the LORD’s face during a 21 day fast started on Jan 10.”
6. Watched 3 powerful insightful Youtube videos on the structure of mammon on Chuck Pierce’s site: www.gloryofzion.org Overcoming Mammon Part 1, 2, and 3 by Allen Faubion can be seen by clicking Overcoming Mammon: Part 1 In Part 3 he spoke about India.
7. Watched Sid Roth’s “It’s Supernatural” TV show.  He interviewed Glenn Arekion about his book, “The Power of Praying in Tongues.” He inspired me to pray in tongues even more than I am already doing on a regular basis.
8. I have been immersing myself in the teaching tapes of Katie Souza from www.expectedendministries.com I have been particularly studying and applying the principles, by faith, found in her CD’s: Ascending Into the Supernatural; Healing School; and The Glory Light of Jesus. They are powerful.  I am just beginning to see some results of ascending into the supernatural heavenly realm of God’s glory by faith, receiving divine revelation by faith (answers and strategies to specific problems) and then bringing them from heaven to earth by declaring them by faith into the atmosphere of God’s glory where they are created and manifested.
9. Brian Wills bible study teaching Tuesday was on redeeming the time and getting back to the basics of producing good fruit for God’s Kingdom. We prayed that by God’s grace He would use us more than ever before.

Hallelujah, did I ever receive a huge breakthrough dream and prayer as a result of these things listed!  This is definitely good fruit from walking in the spirit by faith.  Thank You, Jesus!  I put on some praise music and began documenting it all.

In the middle of the night Holy Spirit woke me up with such a strong prompting to pray in the spirit for a while.  Then I started dreaming.  I found myself standing before a huge body of water that I believe represented India.  I was wading ankle deep facing a vague figure standing in the middle of the ocean.  He was talking to me however, I don’t remember anything specific he said.  I began to get this burning sensation in my spirit.  I believe it was Jesus pouring in His supernatural agape love for the people of India, along with a burning desire and commission to pray for them in the spirit.

I was doubled over loudly wailing and praying in tongues for India.  I started seeing and loving them through God’s eyes.  I was declaring by faith into the heavenly atmosphere of God’s glory that His anointing was destroying the religious yoke of the caste system that has millions of people bound in India.  I declared that His anointing was destroying the yoke of all kinds of idolatry.  I declared that millions of people from India were being set free in the name of Jesus and by the blood of Jesus.  (I believe that just the people from India alone are part of “God’s billion soul vision” Team Destiny 777 is believing for).

Spread out before me were all my notes, books and journals.  (They represented all that God had been showing, teaching, downloading and revealing to me).   An old acquaintance walked by and stopped to sit on the back of a couch behind me.  She picked up one of my letters and began reading it.  I told her that it was very personal.  I said something like, “Can’t you see I’m praying for these people?”  I kept on praying.

The next scene shifted to a swimming pool.  Halfway down the length of the pool I saw Joseph Peck standing in the water.  He was cheering me on (as he had  done in his email to me).  As a life coach, I believe Joseph was spurring me on to jump in the race.  Into the water I dove with such explosive power.  I swam freestyle, hardly coming up for air.  It was such a phenomenal feeling as I swam across the pool and back in record time with supernatural ease and speed.  (This represented the power and supernatural effortlessness of operating under God’s anointing).   I surprised myself as well as Joseph.

The scene shifted and I head someone knocking on my door.  I opened the door and saw my good friend Caroline LaMotte standing there sporting an exuberant smile and an expression of great expectancy.  My other friend Myrtle Wills was on her way but had not arrived.  We both went bounding up the stairs to turn on the computer.  Apparently we were expecting to see something on the screen.

Sure enough we saw it as if we were watching a movie.  (I believe we were watching a confirmation and divine sign that our prayers had been heard and answered in the glory realm).  We were looking up at the sky.  The stars blazed brightly.  Suddenly we saw numerous earthen clay vessels appear in the inky midnight skies.  They each tipped over and poured their contents onto the earth.  We saw and heard an explosion of magnificent heavenly fireworks.  Millions of shimmering gold particles tumbled down as heaven and earth came together as answered prayer.  The dream ended.

Interpretation of dream

I believe those earthen clay vessels represented the people of India and all of the treasure of their giftings, abilities and anointings God invested and hid in them since before the foundation.  The divine fireworks symbolized the atmosphere of God’s  glory where things are created and manifested.  The shimmering gold particles of the vast treasure of the Indian people themselves were set free as new creations in Christ as the prayers in tongues (God’s perfect will spoken through a willing human vessel) were declared/prophesied and released into the glory, causing heaven and earth to come together to produce Kingdom fruit!

This is how God wants to use us (His servants, friends and disciples) and work with and through us because WE ARE THE BODY OF CHRIST!  WE ARE TO BE ONE IN SPIRIT, SOUL,  BODY, FINANCES, AND RELATIONSHIPS, WITH CHRIST.  WE ARE TO BE OPERATING IN AGREEMENT WITH HIM.   THIS IS WHAT COVENANT RELATIONSHIP/PARTNERSHIP IS ALL ABOUT!  THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH (THROUGH US) AS IT IS IN HEAVEN!

I am still flabbergasted God would use me this way specifically for India simply because I ministered to Him through prayer and fasting and became sensitive and obedient to His needs and heart’s desires!  WOW!  What would happen if more, or all of His body – that’s us -  would seek His face and minister more to Him rather than focusing on ourselves and our own needs.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.  (Mathew 6:33).

What will it take for us to finally take God at His Word and work His system?  When we first take care of and are about our Father’s business we can be sure (are  promised) He will take care of ours!  It’s a win/win covenant but we must do our part -  His way -  and it will work.

Right now I’m simply connecting all these dots the Lord is stringing together recently in my life to build and expand His Kingdom and to produce good fruit.

My friend Caroline LaMotte gave me a birthday card on January 9th this year.  It was very prophetic when she wrote, “Get ready for the greatest year of adventure of your life!” I would say that this breakthrough dream and prayer for India qualifies as part of that great adventure.  Praise God!

I recalled Allen Faubion talking about India in his videos, Overcoming Mammon. He spoke of how God sees India as a great gem in the earth and that it’s very rich in resources.  First it’s rich in people (in their gifts, abilities and anointing) and then in silk and spices.  God wants to reap a rich harvest in the people of India.  Pastor Faubion then read:

January 1 Word From India

Beloved brothers and sisters in Christ

Today’s scripture: Isaiah 45:3

“I will give you treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places that you may know that I, the Lord who call you by name, Am the God of Israel.”

Happy New Year to everyone from India.

This year the Lord will release the hidden treasures and the riches of darkness to the body of Christ like never before.  New divinely prepared ladder will be visible in your life.  That will bring transference of His heavenly wealth, provision, protection and providence into your life from heaven to earth.  You will hear others say of you, “a tree planted by the side of the river whose leaves shall not dry and wither away,” because of the greater measure of the glory of God descending on you at this time.

There will be unexpected interventions of the Lord in your life where the Lord will use your wilderness to shape your destiny.  Mark this that unexpected ways of God will be evident in your life that you have never ever dreamt.  Trust in Jesus.  The Lord is raising up Cyrus in this time and you are that Cyrus of today to do all that pleases God.  Great is the destiny God has for you in this New Year.

To top it all off, I came downstairs for a late breakfast and received a confirmation from Benny Hinn on TV!  He was teaching on “The Purpose of Pentecost.”

The key scripture was Song of Solomon 5:2 - I sleep, but my heart is awake; It is the voice of my beloved!  He knocks, saying, “Open for me, my sister, my love, my dove, my perfect (undefiled) one; For my head is covered with dew, My locks with the drops of the night.”

Pastor Benny taught that God uses us in our sleep and dreams.  He wakes us up to pray through us so He can answer (Himself)!”  How wonderful is that.

I realized as Brian Wills had just taught that God had indeed used me beyond my imagination to answer the prayer in His heart.  It’s truly supernatural what God will do when we simply give ourselves to Him through our time, presence, full attention, faith in Him and His Word, obedience, praise, worship and especially our ministry to Him through our prayers and fasting!

What I am so acutely aware of during this fast is that God is speaking to us all the time, but we aren’t always sensitive to Him.  If we are tuned in to Him we will hear Him connecting and confirming things all around us through people, circumstances, His Word, His Holy Spirit, what we see and hear around us and so on.  He can use anything to reach us if we are paying attention to Him and looking for (expecting) Him.

I remembered Benny Hinn said recently he had been to India and had ministered to the largest crusade ever assembled.  I think he said there were three million people there and that he was going back for a harvest of more souls. Right then I was aware God was making me sensitive to India because my spirit grabbed it and tucked it away.  I didn’t know why.  I just knew He was shining a spotlight on it in that brief moment.

You know the saying, ‘Four months between planting and harvest.’ But I say, wake up and look around. The fields are already ripe for harvest.  (John 4:35 NLT).

I didn’t have India on my mind or in my heart until God got a hold of me!  All of this simply means that we are supernaturally equipped and empowered by faith in the power of the Holy Spirit to walk in intimacy with Jesus on a regular basis. It’s not that I am so special, however I am hungry for Jesus, His presence and His Kingdom fruit to be manifested in my life.

The bottom line is:  How much of God do we really want in our life and how do we access His presence?  Even greater still: Are we willing to do whatever is required to experience His glory?

ALL I KNOW IS THAT I WANT ALL OF HIM!  LIKEWISE, HE  WANTS ALL OF  ME!   THAT’S WHAT COVENANT RELATIONSHIP IS ALL ABOUT AND IT REQUIRES OUR FAITH AND OBEDIENCE!

If we are willing, God will takes us beyond our wildest dreams because He is willing and wants to show Himself faithful to us!  Glory to God!

Love in Jesus,

Prayer Power

Father God, I give all of me to you.  Make me more aware of Your presence than ever before.  By faith in the power of Your Holy Spirit, help me recognize when You want to use me to produce good fruit for Your Kingdom.  Help me redeem the remaining time I have on earth to be used for Your Gory in the matchless name and blood 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

Love in Jesus,

I had been asking God to show me more revelation about walking in the fullness of His love.  God showed me a dream about His healing power through love.  Several different people were hugging me in the dream.  It was so real that I could literally feel tangible waves of God’s healing love wash over and through me.  He was doing a work in me.

The next thing I knew I heard Holy Spirit give me this opening statement in this Word From Jesus so I grabbed my pen:

#WFJ: RECEIVE MORE REVELATION OF THE FULLNESS OF GOD’S LOVE

God’s storage (of love) affects the heart worldwide. For when you receive Me in your heart as your Lord and Savior, I have come to live on the inside of you personally.

It is then when you say, “YES” to Me that you allow Me, by the choice of your free will, to adopt you as a child of the Most High God.  All the children of the world, no matter their creed or nation, are My creation but not all of them can call Me “Father” until they say yes to My Kingdom adoption.

When I become Father to them through the new birth is when My love is shed abroad in their heart and they become connected to My blood covenant.

I love all the children of the world.  I loved them before the foundation of the world and I will love them for all eternity whether they choose to love Me in return or not, and whether they choose to allow Me to adopt them and become their forever perfect Father or not.

When the adoption takes place is when My blood covenant is set in place and My child is fused, rooted and grounded in the power of My love.

In this fusion, in the power of My covenant of love, all that is Mine (which is all good and all loving) becomes theirs (belongs to them) and all that is theirs, good and bad, becomes Mine (belongs to Me).

I, WHO AM LOVE, changes not.  I, WHO AM LOVE, am the same today, yesterday and forevermore.  I take what is yours and transform you into the image and likeness of My dear Son who gave His life and blood for you to bring you into the family and Kingdom of God and out of corruption and sin of the world’s kingdom and system that is controlled by the devil and the forces of darkness.

That control changed hands and left My authority when Adam, through his sin of disobedience, turned over that authority to Satan, the devil, who then became the god of this world.

It is always My love that moves Me to do everything I do because love gives and is generous.  My love moved Me to take back that authority and put it back into the hands of My children.  I did that when I conquered death, hell and the grave through My Son’s crucifixion on and My Son’s resurrection from the cross of Calvary.

I proved My love through My covenant of grace.  I legally secured and paid for it by My life’s blood.  My love never quits or stops giving.  It will conquer ALL, most assuredly the sins of this world.

I came to this earth in the form of Jesus, My Son, in flesh and blood.  I sent Him, who is the exact image of Myself, to be the revelation of My absolute love in all of its fullness.  It is through My Holy Spirit that this revelation of perfect love is made known to you.

When you are born again from above and become one with My blood covenant you become rooted and grounded into the fullness of the godhead bodily.  It is for you to receive the full revelation of that love by the power of My Holy Spirit.

Open yourself up and agree with the godhead to receive the full revelation of love that belongs to you and is part of you.  This (revelation) is where your true power originates and flows and is how your faith works.  Become like your heavenly Father, WHO IS LOVE, and operates solely out of that perfect love.

When you truly know and understand this revelation of the love of God for you, you cannot fail because you know and believe God will always back you up and bring you through to victory in all things.  Perfect love flushes out all fear.

As long as the earth remains there will be seedtime and harvest.  It is My divine law that you reap what you sow.  What seeds are you sowing and who is your father?

My law is the law of love born out of My Word that is revelation truth and light for your path.  If I am your Father you will be rooted and grounded in love (in Me) and you will bear good fruit.  Therefore meditate on the truth of My Word day and night.  In other words, make My Word your total and final authority.  Make it your lifestyle.

Sow (apply) My Word by faith (only believe) and you will get God results.  The key is to habitually look into the mirror of My perfect Word that is lacking nothing, so you can SEE and KNOW the kind of fruit My love, My Word, and My root produces.

This way you will not be deceived by the lies and deception of the devil, your arch enemy, who’s sole purpose is to get you to doubt and not believe My perfect, all powerful, all conquering love for you.

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.  Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?  (1 John 5:4, 5).

If Satan, the god of this world system, is your father, then you will be rooted and grounded in fear because there is no truth in him.  His root always produces sin (bad fruit) that leads to destruction, death and separation from the perfect love of God.

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.  (John 10:10)

Choose wisely.  Choose life in Christ Jesus, the way of My perfect love for you!

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.  (John 14:6).

My dear children, “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.  (1 John 3:1).

COME AND DWELL WITHOUT END IN THE FULLNESS AND REALITY OF THE REVELATION OF MY PERFECT LOVE FOR YOU!  ONLY BELIEVE!  YOUR FAITH WORKS BY MY PERFECT LOVE IN AND THROUGH YOU!  SEE AND ALLOW THE ROOT OF MY LOVE TO PRODUCE ITS PERFECT AND GOOD FRUIT, THAT YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER WILL BE GLORIFIED AND WIN MANY SONS AND DAUGHTERS THROUGH ADOPTION INTO MY BLOOD COVENANT!

Love in Jesus,

Prayer Power

Most gracious heavenly Father, we thank You for Your extravagant, all powerful and complete love for us that never ends.  Help us to get that revelation in its fullness deep down in our spirits so we may know beyond a shadow of a doubt that we are more than conquerors because You love us.  Thank You for Your love that sent Jesus to earth to die on the cross for us so we may live eternally with You.  Thank You that the power of Your perfect unfailing love that resurrected Him from death now lives in us who believe in You!  We love you!  Hallelujah and amen!

I am rejoicing in Jesus because He has just brought me through a season of intense testing. He never left my side.  Gratefully, I have crossed over a visible line in the natural and the spiritual to a brand new season and chapter in my life written by the Author and finisher of my faith, Jesus Christ.

The key scripture for my breakthrough is John 12:24 - Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.

Years ago the Holy Spirit kept telling me in my times of intimacy with Him that He was bringing me into a wide open plain.  I kept recording it in my journal but I wondered what He meant.  Now I understand because I am standing in a wide-open plain full of His promises that are ready to be harvested.

Timing was everything. God would not bring me out into that wide open plain until He tested me and proved I was ready to handle it.  I am so thankful the Lord provided me with discernment, revelation and many confirmations to let me know what was taking place on the inside of me.  Surely, REVIVAL cannot take place “out there” until it first takes place personally within your own heart.

For the past few years I have gone through some major life changing trials and transitions that have challenged me in many areas of my life including: family, church, relationships, finances, employment, location, life purpose and direction, etc.  To say it wasn’t easy is a gross understatement, however, through it all…Jesus was with me!

After many fits and starts, severe spiritual warfare, copious two-way journaling, a lot of praying in the spirit, praising and worshipping God especially in the hard times, standing on God’s Word, and vacillating between my will, personal agenda, hopes and dreams versus God’s will, I finally came to the end of myself and had a major breakthrough!

At some point you simply have to make the decision to stop all of your “striving” and “trying to figure things out,” and just let your kernel die so resurrection life can come forth!  Step down from the throne of your selfish heart and ways and let God be God in you and through you.  Be God-inside minded, not self-conscious.  In essence you must get out of your head and into the spirit where true transformation takes place!

I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I but Christ liveth in me and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me. (Gal 2:20)

When I surrendered to His will, Jesus pulled me through those narrow testing places that were blocking my destiny in Christ and He brought me out into that wide open plain He had waiting for me all along.  I simply had to stand the pull by standing on the immutable Word of God!

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.  We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.  For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body.  So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.  (2 Cor 4:8-12).

The Lord is bringing to mind a favorite art print  and quote I have always loved and been drawn to.  It’s a picture of small purple crocuses bursting forth in new life as they break through the surface of a blanket of winter snow.

“In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.”  by Albert Camus

Finally, its meaning came alive as the truth resonated in my spirit!

In this past season of my life, something was struggling inside of me to be born and at the same time something was struggling to not die.  They both resided in me, however, one had to end so the other one could begin.  That death to self was the open door to resurrection life and this is what personal revival is all about.

These are some of the highlights that led to my breakthrough:

Sept 15, 2010 – Brian Francis Hume prophesied to me:

Also I had a few things on my heart prophetically for Abigail. When you invited me a few days ago to join the panel, the Lord immediately brought to my attention the following:  (1) The Pursuit of God by AW Tozer—it seems as if this classic work penned by a theologian on his knees is paramount to Abigail’s own life story and for what is to come. There’s a hidden treasure to be found within the pages of this book. (2) I kept hearing the Lord say that He was resurrecting “old flames” in her life. We tend to hear that phrase used as it relates to previous romantic relationships that didn’t last beyond their fixed time; I just sense that these were connections and friendships that burned previously for an allocated season of time in her life.

Then during the actual webinar as Abigail was sharing her amazing story, a word came to me strongly that I was not familiar with—incendiary. I Googled it and it means “causing or capable of causing fire.” I think the Lord is going to use her to raise up a fellowship of incendiary agents who are aflame.

Sept 25, 2010 – Missionary Revivalist Bill Easter laid hands on me and imparted the Fire of God to me in a home meeting.  Real revival begins within your own heart.  It is in the crucible of the “Refiner’s Fire” that true transformation takes place.

Oct 2, 2010 – I Received the first clue my season of walking in the name of Abigail (that was prophesied to me by Dr. Bruce Cook) was ending. There was something  of Abigail that was needed to help me press through my season of testing.  The Lord gave me a prophetic word and addressed me as Nancy, my birth name.  My spirit took notice that a season was ending.  It resonated in my spirit.  For the first time I felt like I was “coming home” to stand in the center of who I really am in Christ.

Oct 8, 2010 – David Davenport prophesied to me:

*Nancy Slocum:  My impression about Nancy, and perhaps removed from any pointed detail in the dream, yet inter-connected with the thrust of this dream; is that Nancy has received many systematic downloads of revelation over many years, some very intense and frequent, yet busyness has prevented her from properly chronicling them and allowing them to simmer.  There is a beautification which has occurred in Nancy, especially recently, and that as the result unusual tests and trials–which are subsequently pulling-out and bring to the surface the beauty of what has been entrusted to her by way of systematic revelation of the nature of the Bride of Christ. Written upon ancient parchment, and sewn into her heart, are many works poised to grace her quill–to ultimately feed the Body of Christ at large.

This confirmed a Holy Mandate I received on June 7, 2010 from the Lord while two-way journaling.  I was answering the question:

Lord, how will journaling help me to leave a great legacy?

Think of the greatest written legacy known to man – My holy Word, the bible.  I spoke to different people so they could record My life-giving words for all time.  It is My love letter to all mankind.

Do you suppose I could continue speaking words of life to you personally that you could be blessed by and instructed with? And to share it with others is to multiply its value and ability to produce much fruit.

Consider it a “HOLY MANDATE” and high privilege to record and carry My living words to others that they may walk in intimacy with their Creator and Lover of their soul.  This is a transference of the highest form of love known to man for I am LOVE and the ONE every living soul is designed to seek and is hungry for.  FEED MY SHEEP, DAUGHTER!  In this I am well pleased and ever present.

“FEED MY SHEEP, DAUGHTER!”

Oct 9, 2010 – I attended Will Green’s seminar: “How To Reach the World With the Word” in Warrenton Virginia.  Will’s words seized my heart:  “When you do things for God they fail.  When you do things with God they succeed.”   We are to CO-CREATE with God the way He designed His creation to do.

Then Apostle Thomas Adebayo from Nigeria prophesied over Bertha Hinson and me. He told us repeatedly there was coming into our lives an abundance of rain. This was confirmation to me that God’s way, not mine, is prevailing and coming forth bearing much fruit.

After the seminar in Brian Francis Hume’s home I declared to Bertha and Brian that I was “coming home” that day to my birth name, Nancy!

Oct 10-10-10, My Pastor, Sam Luke, preached the most powerful and anointed message I have ever heard.  It was on the Lordship of Christ.  REVIVAL has come to Victory Tabernacle Church of God in Richmond, VA as the entire congregation went to the altar and every knee bowed down and confessed “Jesus is Lord!”

THIS WAS MY PERSONAL BREAKTHROUGH TURNING POINT.  It was a natural as well as a spiritual line of demarcation I stepped over to begin a brand new season of life revived in Christ.

That night I began reading Steve Hill’s book, Personal Revival, that Brian Francis Hume placed in my hands.  Steve Hill wrote: “He is seeking to remove from us every idea and opinion that would limit and control Him.”

Hill spoke of how even Jesus, in the prime of His life, came under the Father’s “sentence of death.” If this was true of Jesus, it must also be true of you and me.  This means you have to allow your dreams, expectations, agendas, even ministries and movements born of God, your hidden pain, disappointment and disillusionment, and so on, to die.

When you allow your kernel to die, a metamorphosis can then take place.  You allow God to birth something that did not or could not exist before.

Hill  explained about embracing death as Jesus did so you can experience a dimension of life you never dreamed possible!  He wrote, “This is why it is vitally important that we:

• Always behold the Father (look to Him and not our circumstances).
• Draw spiritual strength from always knowing that the Father is with us.
• Worship even as we go into death.
• Maintain a living hope.
• Believe life will come out of death.
• Experience a satisfaction in the Father’s presence (find our fulfillment in Him and nothing else).”

Wouldn’t it be great to be like Abraham who faithfully walked with Jesus as a “friend of God.” It is the highest honor, privilege and responsibility.  It is possible when you die to self and live in Christ.  Continually walking in the spirit and God’s Word leads to the blessed life God provided for you before the foundation of the world.

I AM A FRIEND OF GOD!

It is amazing to watch the evidences of how God is moving in people’s lives.  He is bypassing their minds and going straight for their hearts.  Transformation is taking place!  God is causing PERSONAL REVIVAL to take place first in individual hearts so it can move from the inside out and spread from personal transformation to global transformation!

And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.  (Acts 2:17).

Be encouraged… Truly, the Holy Spirit is at work and moving in power everywhere!  POSITION YOUR HEART TO FULLY EXPECT THE IMPOSSIBLE!  DO NOT LIMIT GOD IN ANY WAY!  BELIEVE ONLY!

DECIDE TO ABIDE IN CHRIST CONTINUALLY!  ALLOW THE SPIRIT OF REVIVAL TO INFLAME AND TRANSFORM YOUR HEART WITH THE LOVE OF JESUS.  THEN GO FORTH IN THE LIGHT AND LIFE OF CHRIST  TO IGNITE OTHERS AND DRAW THEM INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD UNTIL JESUS COMES BACK FOR HIS BRIDE.  OCCUPY UNTIL HE RETURNS.  YOU MUST WATCH AND PRAY AND BE EVER READY TO RECEIVE HIM.

Love in Jesus,

PRAYER POWER

Precious Yeshua, Thank you for reviving my heart!  Pour out Your Spirit on all flesh and cause Your Baptism in Fire to light individual hearts until it reaches “critical mass” and ignites full blown revival in our nation and world.  Then position Your people to receive Your Baptism in Glory in Jesus name.  May the faithful in Christ watch and pray for Your return, Jesus, for You are our soon coming King of Kings and Lord of Lords!   You are the one and only Messiah of all creation.  We bless you and give you all praise, honor and glory.  Hallelujah and Amen.
