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!

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!

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

GRACE NOTES

Abdicate – to renounce, resign, relinquish (power or responsibility) formally.

DO NOT become lukewarm, detached, divided, or indifferent to the Word of God for any reason whatsoever! Bond yourself to Jesus (God’s Word) by faith with the glue of your will because HE is your very and only source of victorious eternal life!

PRAYER POWER

Holy Spirit, I wholeheartedly present my spirit, soul and body as a holy habitation unto you.  Have your way in me.  Use me for Your glory in the name of Jesus that those who are ruled by Satan, the god of this world, would be touched and transformed by your consuming fire!  Amen.

JESUS IS THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE

I asked the Lord what that meant and this is what He said in this Word From Jesus:

#WFJ: LIVE AND LET LIVE

Live and let live by giving life to those around you, that is the life of Christ within you, for I Am the Light of the world that gives life and makes things grow according to My Word. My Word is My very DNA and the substance and truth of all life.

I give it freely and have designed My children to be that light to others, to nurture and cause life in Christ Jesus to live.  It’s the life I laid down freely that others may live.  My Children, My nature is to give and I designed you to live to give like Me, however, I have given you a free will to choose to do so.

It begins when you choose from your heart to follow Me and allow Me to be the Lord and Savior of your life.  Then you will have my life in you to give to others.  Live and let My life in you shine so beautifully that others may live in that divine light.

When your heart is pure towards Me then you “let live” my fullness and favor in you to demonstrate My goodness to those around you. It is a drawing of My Spirit like a magnet to my goodness, grace and love.  When I am allowed to flow through you it causes a magnetic effect and people will be drawn into My Kingdom because of My irresistible love.

This invisible magnetic draw is My favor, the favor of God, upon your life. It is My goodness that leads men to repentance.  A life and heart submitted to Me is a life marked and consecrated unto Me.

I am a heart reader and that is what I go by, not what people see on the inside but the motives and intents of a person’s heart.  That’s what drives a man or woman and a heart yielded to me is a heart I stamp and drive with My favor for My purposes because I know I can trust that heart.

I place an invisible shield of favor around the likes of these and they go about their lives as a tool in My hand. They may not be aware of what I am doing through them because their heart is in alignment with Mine and WE can move as one in heart.  That is what I desire for all of My children but not all of my creation choose the way of My heart and will.

Those who have walked in intimacy and spiritual maturity with Me for a long time may be given discernment to “see” this favor upon another’s life so they may speak into that life and guide them to live and let live in alignment with My heart.  This pleases Me greatly and brings Me glory, all the while carrying out My will.  I have My ways to fulfill My purposes and it is a glorious thing when a heart is enlightened to this end.

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.  (1 Cor 2:9).

It is these very “things” that a heart surrendered to Me will walk in, walk into, be surrounded by and take with them wherever they go, because it is I living through them so the Kingdom can come on earth as it is in heaven.  The Kingdom is here and now (within you) and it is yet coming in all of its glorious fullness when I return for My bride.

In the meantime, meditate on this revelation that I have chosen those with a heart for Me to have the unprecedented priceless honor of being “carriers of My glory” in a lost and darkened sin-filled world so My light in them will draw others into eternal life with Me.  It is my will that not any perish because I love My creation so much.

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.  (John 3:16).

Shine on, My children.  Carry My favor and light with great joy and “LIVE AND LET LIVE” that your Father in heaven may be glorified in Jesus name!

Love in Jesus,

GRACE NOTES

Whenever I hear the saying, “Live and let live,” I think of the French term “laissez faire” which means hands off or we let others live their own lives and we live ours.  It means noninterference in the affairs of others.

In the case of this WFJ, God desires that we live like Jesus who is the way, truth and the life so it can let others know how to live the abundant life He provided through His Son.

The Lord just now downloaded more to me about this statement: Live and let My life in you shine so beautifully that others may live in that divine light.  I’m “seeing” that this divine light is an atmosphere of His glory and nature.  It is the favor of God and when you get in that atmosphere, things change.

When your heart is yielded to and in alignment with God’s heart, you will outwardly and obediently disseminate to those around you, God’s Word (Jesus) who is inseparable with His nature and character.  You are literally and most likely unconsciously changing the   atmosphere around you because you carry His very presence in you and with you.  You are bringing the actual Kingdom of God near to others and into their space/atmosphere and He is having His way.  It is so much higher than man’s ways.

As a disciple of Jesus, you are an ambassador and tool in God’s hand.  Jesus, the Word, who was wrapped in flesh and dwelt in this earth is now living in you.  When you are one with Christ (the anointed One and His anointing), His favor is upon you.  His Word spoken through you will not return without creating the outworking of His will and Kingdom rule through the substance of your faith.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.  (Heb 11:1).

Meditate on these things for this is God’s favor and will in action.

PRAYER POWER

Holy Spirit, please open the eyes of my understanding and lead me into all truth.  Help me to be a bright light shining for Your glory so others may see Jesus in me Who is the way, the truth and the life.  Help me to” live and let live” Your way in Jesus name.  Amen

#WFJ: THOUGHTS AND WORDS FOR THE VICTORIOUS LIFE!

My Word in your heart and in your mouth is more than enough to accomplish what I have called you to do. My Word is mighty and powerful unto salvation.  And when you call unto me I will back up My Word wherever you go and whatever you do because I am not a contradiction.

I Am a God of integrity.  You can count on Me because I say what I mean and mean what I say so, YOU COUNT ON ME AND CALL ON ME AND WALK AND TALK WITH ME LIKE ADAM DID IN THE COOL OF THE DAY IN MY GARDEN OF BLESSING WHEN HE WAS NOT YET CORRUPTED BY GOING OUTSIDE THE BOUNDARY OF MY INCORRUPTIBLE WORD!

It is spirit and it is truth and it will stand for all eternity.  I have given you my language that created all there is and it will create for you when you also walk in the integrity of Me and My Word, for they are one and the same.  You must take My Word in your mouth and speak it with the dunamis power and authority inherent in it to co-create with Me and like Me.

It was more than good enough to carry Jesus all the way from virgin Mary’s womb, to the cross of Calvary, and triumphantly positioned and seated at My right hand in heaven.  Those who receive My Son as Savior are also positioned in Christ at My right hand.  My Word believed and spoken in faith was powerful enough for Jesus to walk a sinless life.  What do you suppose it will do for you if you follow His example and become so solidly and resolutely fixed on and in agreement with that same Word?

I have given you the power of life and death in your very tongue.  Are you going to believe Me or not? Are you going to take it and put Satan and his whole army of rebellious misfits where they belong?  Look at your feet right now.  They belong under your feet through the authority I have given you with My all encompassing, all consuming, all powerful and creative Word.  You trample and stomp the enemy’s headship over you.

Why do you think David cut off Goliath’s head? It was to remove his headship, authority and tyranny ruling over My people and keeping them in fear and on the run.  Let my Word be your guiding compass in all you do.  Let it encompass all of your life so you can manifest My God-given fruit of victory.

You must see and receive this revelation I am giving to you. You must see that My Word coming out of your mouth in faith is your ultimate weapon because My Word does not return void.  MY WORD IS THE MISSION.  IT ALL STARTED WHEN I SPOKE IT OUT OF MY MOUTH AND WRAPPED IT IN FLESH AND SENT IT TO THE WORLD TO SAVE ALL OF MANKIND.

You must “see” with your spiritual eyes that My language of faith and your thoughts must be inextricably joined as one. IF YOU WANT TO LIVE A VICTORIOUS LIFE YOU MUST GET YOUR THOUGHT LIFE IN ALIGNMENT WITH MY WORD!  THAT IS YOUR ULTIMATE WEAPON! Your thoughts precede your words so straighten up your thought life so you can get your language right… that is right with Me and in unity with Me.

It matters not what nation, tongue or tribe you are from.  I created them all to speak My language of faith, not of Babel or confusion.

Think like Me then speak like Me. In order to do that you must know what I think and what I say.  It is all in the bible, your instruction book for life.  Do what I told Joshua to do.  Meditate on My Word day and night and do not let it depart from your mouth and then YOU shall have good success.  Do not depart from it one iota!

We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak. (2 Cor 4:13).You have thousands of thoughts a day.  Not all of them are from Me.  When you know Me, study, keep and obey My Word, they will come up out of you – a river of life for your ultimate good!  I gave you My Holy Spirit to teach you and lead you into all truth.  My Spirit will help you discern between the truth and a lie.  I will help you identify which thoughts are not of Me.

Take every thought captive unto the obedience of My Word.  Keep a permanent guard as a receptionist at the gate of your mind.  A thought not of me will coming knocking on the door of your mind but ask who goes there. If it is not of Me refuse it entrance into your heart.  Do not agree with it or let it in or it will set up camp.  All it needs is a toehold and it will soon become a stronghold, which is a way of thinking.

DO NOT “TAKE” THE THOUGHT BY SAYING IT.  WHEN YOU SPEAK IT YOU HAVE JUST AGREED WITH IT AND GIVEN IT LEGAL AUTHORITY TO RULE AND REIGN IN YOUR LIFE.  BELIEVE ME – IT WILL TAKE OVER AND RUN YOUR LIFE BECAUSE YOUR WORDS PRECEDE YOUR STEPS AND THE DIRECTION OF YOUR LIFE.  IT’S YOUR CHOICE.  THAT IS WHY I SAY IN MY WORD THAT THE POWER OF LIFE AND DEATH ARE IN YOUR TONGUE, BUT YOU MUST GET THAT IT’S YOUR THOUGHT LIFE THAT PRECEDES YOUR WORDS.

Do you realize you are committing adultery with your thoughts when they do not line up with Mine? That is why I say you have already committed adultery (in your thoughts) when you have lusted after one in your own heart.  I am a jealous God and I am calling you to My standard of purity and holiness through the power of My Word.  Inherent in My Word spoken with a heart full of faith is the power for its manifestation because I watch after My Word to perform it.

Take some time to meditate on this truth.  REPENT from the gross misuse of your thought life and your language when it is not in agreement with Me. I am faithful and just to forgive you from all your sins and to cleanse you from all unrighteousness.  (I John 1:9).  Allow My perfect love to make Myself so real in your life.  Allow my love to rule and reign in your heart and I will straighten out your thought life and words.

Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.  I want you to think My thoughts and speak My language so you will be more than the conquerors I said you would be in Christ.

Take My yoke upon you and learn of me.  It is easy under My yoke because I am carrying all the weight.  Let me be your burden bearer.  The battle is mine and the battlefield is in your mind so yoke up with me and choose to let My thoughts and My Word be your supernatural mode of operation always in all My ways and you will experience the victory you long for.

Honor Me by honoring and placing the highest value on My thoughts and words over you. Taste and see that I Am good and want nothing but good for you.  Come and experience the high life in unity with My all consuming all powerful Word.  His name is Jesus and He is My living Word.  He is the only way, truth and the life I provided for you to live in victory. Let Jesus rule and reign in your heart and you will experience Kingdom living.  Shalom, for He is with you and for you!

Love in Jesus,

GRACE NOTES

Finally, brothers, 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. (Phil 4:8).

Keep a continual lifetime vigil on your thought life.  When ANY of your thoughts don’t line up with God’s thoughts and Word then immediately make a u-turn.  If you are thinking critical judgmental thoughts about someone else or yourself, are stuck in doubt, paralysis or fear, then turn around.

If you are thinking of gossiping or telling tales on people then stop.  If you feel unloving, un-forgiving, resentful, offended, angry, bitter, vengeful, or out of control and powerless, then check your thought life.  If you are feeling slighted, devalued or ungrateful, what are you thinking about?

If you are not experiencing inner peace then something is amiss.  Do you “see” yourself and others as God sees you and are you thinking about yourself and others the way God does?  If you said no, then run the other way because you are headed toward destruction.  Get God’s vision of you and others so you can think right and talk right.

The thief comes 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).

There are only two directions in life.  You are either walking toward God and in agreement with Him or you are walking away from Him and out of agreement with Him.  You are either for God or against Him.  There is no demilitarized zone with God so choose His way!  Choose life!  Decide to think only God’s thoughts and then you will speak only His words.  This is the only way to the victorious life.

PRAYER POWER

Father God, You are the author of my life.  I surrender my thought life to you.  Teach me your thoughts and Word so I can think right and speak right in Jesus name.  I desire to be a living witness of the victorious life Jesus died for me and shed His blood for me that others would know the way to You and Your eternal Kingdom.  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!

Hear the song and drink in the images: Phillips, Craig & Dean – 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.

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.

• “How To Reach the World With the Word” Seminar in Warrenton, Virginia, led by Will Green on 10/9/10.  Apostle Thomas Adebayo from Nigeria spoke on the glory of God and prophesied that something great was about to happen in Richmond, VA as well as the state of Virginia.

• The most powerful sermon I ever heard by (my) Pastor Sam Luke on the Lordship of Christ on 10/10/10.  It concluded with the whole congregation coming up to the altar and bowing their knees and confessing Jesus is Lord to the glory of God! This demonstration of the Lordship of Christ really made the devil mad and gave him a black eye.  THERE IS REVIVAL TAKING PLACE HERE AT VICTORY TABERNACLE CHURCH OF GOD IN RICHMOND, VA!

• I began reading Steve Hill’s book, Personal Revival.

This is the Word From Jesus I received on 10/11/10

#WFJ: A REED FOR REVIVAL!

WHAT KIND OF REED ARE YOU? Are you one that bends under the mighty right hand of God?  Are you flexible and pliable and easily shaped by the Master’s desires and purposes?

Are you a reed that is straight and firm?  Resolve in your heart to follow the Master, focused on His will, not your own, straight with nothing hindering the flow of the Holy Spirit.

Are you a knotted reed marked by the scars of life and bumps in the road?  If you are not mindful to release and forgive those who have marred you along the way, your hardened non-trusting heart will impede your path of progress in the spirit.  REFUSE to become hardened and knotted by the offenses of others!

Is your reed brittle and dry because you have allowed your hunger and thirst for Me and the flow of My river of life to be shut off or replaced by worldly distractions, even idols?

Are you a reed porous in nature, unable to contain My glory?  Are you filled with holes and a lack of purity of heart to bear a holy standard and be consecrated unto Me for My glory?  Are the walls of your temple solid and strong and grounded on the truth of My Word alone?

When you are filled with Me and devoid of you, THEN you are in position to be a carrier of My glory!

I am looking for reeds who will take on My nature and character, no matter what shape they are in from the ravages of life and the enemy’s attempt to counterfeit My glory and con them into a life devoid of truth.

HALF TRUTHS ARE AS DANGEROUS AS PARTIAL OBEDIENCE! They lead to death and destruction.

My eyes go to and fro looking for those whose hearts are hungry for Me and for the fire and passion of My love for all My creation.  I am looking for permanent containers where I may dwell and become a holy habitation.

ARE YOU WILLING TO BE A “TINDERBOX FOR MY GLORY” to give light, life, and hope to those around you walking in darkness and the way of death?  THERE CAN BE NO REVIVAL “OUT THERE” UNTIL IT COMES FORTH FIRST IN YOUR OWN HEART! Are you hungry and dying of thirst to be revived first yourself?

When you fly in the natural in man-made planes you are instructed in times of emergency, when the oxygen face masks drop down from the ceiling, to first put them on yourself before you can assist your children.

I am no different.  I am instructing you, by My Spirit, to be revived and resuscitated by the pure oxygen of My very Spirit and breath of life and truth of My Word into your spirit BEFORE you will be in position to assist others and lead them to the breath of resurrection life!

Do you not know that I Am the Resurrection and the Life?  People everywhere, including you, are gasping for the true breath of life to fill their lungs with pure heavenly oxygen from Me alone, The Creator of Life!

I have come to give you life more abundantly – full, clean, clear and full of power by My Spirit.  I am calling you, My people, up out of death, lethargy, complacency, half-truths, and of living by rote, comfort, and a false sense of security.

The world has nothing to offer you, certainly not security or unadulterated truth!  I Am the only way and only truth!  I Am your only hope!  COME ALIVE AND BE REVIVED BY MY SPIRIT, SAYS THE LORD!

You were designed by Me to be transformed into the likeness of My dear Son.  Jesus is the transfusion of life programmed into your very DNA.  Your living cells have memory and were designed before the foundation of the world to thrive in the life of My Spirit and by My Spirit.  EVERYTHING ELSE IS COUNTERFEIT AND WILL NOT SATISFY YOU!

COME ALIVE AND BE REVIVED IN ME ALONE! I am the taproot of life in Christ Jesus, the Anointed One and His Anointing.  Come and drink of Me until everything else is flushed out and all that remains is My glory to give light to a darkened dying world.

Come with a pure heart.  Repent from all that fills you up but leaves you empty, because it is not of Me! Ask Me to show you those false cravings.  Ask Me to burn them away and replace them with My presence and glory, your true heart’s desire.

Are you ready to be a reed that will yearn and burn for Me alone and carry the weightiness and treasure of My glory?

First and foremost, desire THIS, just to be close and intimately linked to Me – not for what you can do with My glory, but who you truly are and who I designed you to be in the presence of My glory!

Hunger for and seek My face -  for that alone -  and I will take care of the rest.  Follow fast and hard after My own heart, My face and friendship.  Be satisfied and be one with Me and all the other stuff will be added unto you and will follow.

Taste and see that I Am good!  Like Moses, allow My goodness (My glory) to go before you and you will not desire to depart from My glory!  This is how the world will know you are with Me, of Me and from Me because I will be with you!

Exodus 33:12-23 (New International Version)

Moses and the Glory of the LORD

¹² Moses said to the LORD, “You have been telling me, ‘Lead these people,’ but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, ‘I know you by name and you have found favor with me.’ ¹³ If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.”

¹⁴ The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”

¹⁵ Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. ¹⁶ How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?”

¹⁷ And the LORD said to Moses, “I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name.”

¹⁸ Then Moses said, “Now show me your glory.”

¹⁹ And the LORD said, “I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the LORD, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. ²⁰ But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live.”

²¹ Then the LORD said, “There is a place near me where you may stand on a rock.

²² When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by. ²³ Then I will remove my hand and you will see my back; but my face must not be seen.”

GRACE NOTES

The definition of reed that struck me:

• A wind instrument made from the hollow joint of a plant.
• A woodwind instrument that produces sound by the vibrating of a reed against the mouthpiece.

The Lord God is looking for hollow instruments (devoid of man’s plans and purposes) so He can put you up to his very mouth and breathe the life and wind of His Spirit into yours to revive you and use you as a vessel of honor for His glory.

If you keep yourself pure, you will be a special utensil for honorable use. Your life will be clean, and you will be ready for the Master to use you for every good work. (2 Tim 2:21).

PRAYER POWER

Father God, I humbly come before you and repent of all my selfish ways, plans and purposes.  Search my heart, Lord, and show me the error of my ways.   I surrender to you and offer myself as a living sacrifice.  Revive me, Father!   Set me ablaze with your glory that I may be called a true friend of God in Jesus name.  Amen.

While listening to her CD: Take Me Away, I had two strong visions of inner healing taking place in my body. Hopefully this will encourage some of you because God is no respecter of persons.  It is His perfect will to heal you in every way possible.  He desires for you to be made whole and to be set free so you may fulfill God’s purpose for your life in this earth.

And Peter opened his mouth and said: Most certainly and thoroughly I now perceive and understand that God shows no partiality and is no respecter of persons.  (Acts 10: 34).

Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers.  (3 John 1:2)

In the first vision I was listening to Grace’s song: Wings of Love. It was all about allowing God to carry you on the wind of His Spirit and on the wings of His love and light.  It is there that you are free.

I saw my spirit flying free. I saw what looked like different dark colored clothing falling off my body onto the ground.  I saw many layers lying there lifeless.  It was peculiar but I also saw dark toxins dripping out of my body and coming off of me.

I believe these clothes and toxins represent old wounds and strongholds I have been wearing and carrying around like garments of : loss, lack, brokenness, sadness, faulty mindsets, lies and disablement that I have been operating under.  They no longer fit me or serve my God-given purpose.

As the layers of discarded clothing and poisonous toxins fell to the ground, I could feel myself becoming lighter and lighter.  As I grew more weightless, I became free and I could fly higher and higher until my spirit was soaring effortlessly with nothing holding me back or dragging me down.

This is how God has designed you to be free in your spirits so you can reach the destiny He has planned for each one of you before you were ever created in your mother’s womb.

The second vision occurred while I listened to Grace’s song: Undeniable. The life-changing words speak of how God’s love is so deep, never changing and never ending.  His love is so unfailing and everything about His love is undeniable.  When your spirit “catches” the revelation of the fullness of GOD’S LOVES FOR YOU, it will change everything because YOU are transformed in the presence of God, who is LOVE.

In the vision I saw Jesus standing behind me. Since He is the light of the world, the radiance of His glory was all around Him changing the very atmosphere.  He stepped forward and passed through and into me until I disappeared into the dazzling light.  I was now hidden in the all consuming healing light of Christ.

As I am writing this I just now caught a revelation of light.  What does light do?  It makes things grow. When you abide in the perfect light of Christ, you are transformed into His image and likeness.  In Christ you grow into His perfection and no darkness or malfunction can stand in His presence.

It is in the very presence of God’s glory that transformation takes place. That is why you must stay in the light as He is in the light so you can be transformed from glory to glory and faith to faith.  YOU BECOME WHAT YOU CONSISTENTLY BEHOLD SO KEEP BEHOLDING AND SEEKING JESUS, THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD!

As I was standing there in Christ I could see the outline of my entire body.  Dazzling bright white light was emanating from me like the rays of the sun.  I could see countless bands of light radiating out from the center of my body.  As they moved outward past the physical boundaries of my body, I saw all the darkness literally being flushed out completely and dominated by the light.  I saw myself receiving the inner healing and freedom Jesus was freely giving me.  I know Jesus was gifting me with this “visual revelation” so I would “get it.”

Healing and freedom are two things Jesus went to the cross to pay for and secure for you! He already made the total provision for them before you were ever a glint in your parent’s eyes, but it is up to you whether you will receive His free gift.

HEALING is something everyone needs but not everyone knows how to apply God’s Word for healing.  Jesus is The Healer and He wants to heal you! The good news is that you can learn about God’s principles for healing from the bible and through good bible teachers.

I just wrote a blog post about my dear friend,  Brian Wills, a man who knows firsthand about the healing power of Jesus Christ.  He was miraculously and supernaturally healed from an extremely rare and fast growing cancer known as Burkitt’s Lymphoma.

Father God, You are such a good and loving God.  Thank you for supplying every single thing we need that pertains to life and godliness.  Thank you that you have a plan for each one of our lives that will prosper and not harm us; a plan that gives us hope and a future.  Thank you for Jesus who is THE ANSWER to our heart’s desire and the solution to every problem.  May the full revelation of the passion of Jesus Christ burn and grow in the heart of every man, woman, and child on the planet, in Jesus name.  Amen.

“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.  (John 14:1)

Lord, what are we going to do today?  What would please you?

Be still, My child, and KNOW that it is I your God who has made you. I delight in you and delight in giving you good gifts.

Be at peace knowing that in Me is eternal life, now and forever.  I am with you always.  Walk with Me and talk with Me and I will open the secrets and wonders of Myself and My creation with you.

Keep your eyes on Me, NOT troubling circumstances around you. I am the answer you seek in all things.  Stay close to Me so I can lead you and show you things to come.  Watch and pray.

Like David, be sensitive to the wind of My Spirit blowing in the tops of the mulberry trees.  Be ready to move when I say move!  Do not be troubled.  Do not question the leading of My Holy Spirit.

I am leading you into all truth. I have a plan and purpose for your life and it is good! I accomplish much in this earth through my faithful servants who are willing and obedient to follow Me.

I know what is to come.  I know what is around the corner.  I know what lies in the hearts of men whether good or evil.  Those who trust and obey Me will have a part in My plan for good and will reap blessing and favor.  Those who listen and obey the voice of darkness will reap death and destruction and will not enjoy My blessing.

There are two kingdoms at war for the souls of man.  The kingdom of light and the kingdom of darkness will be engaged unto death, but I have overcome the world and defeated death.

Now more than ever the war in the heavenlies is escalating, for the end of the age is coming to a close. I am coming back for My faithful ones who believed Me and what My Word Jesus said about eternal life.

There are still multitudes who have yet to choose: Life of death.  CHOOSE life in Christ Jesus! I am the way the truth and the life.  THOSE WHO HAVE THE TRUTH, HOLD FAST TO YOUR FAITH AND DO NOT GIVE UP!

Continue to be a light in the darkness and point others to Me that they may not perish and spend eternity apart from Me which is hell.  In the face of all odds and the presence of darkness, TAKE YOUR STAND FOR ME AND DO NOT WAVER OR BUDGE!

I am your reward and I will not leave you or forsake you.  I am your victory.  Hold fast to Me. You are blessed because of your stand.  REJOICE for I am rejoicing in you and with you!

BE AT PEACE AND CARRY ON.

Grace Notes

My preceding blog post: A WAKE UP CALL TO THE BODY OF CHRIST! is so connected to this Day 22 of 30 Days to Breakthrough – Overview of Wellness. As the body of Christ, you need to know what the fullness of WELLNESS is according to the Word of God.

In order to experience WELLNESS you need to discern the whole body of Christ.   It consists of two parts:

1. Jesus
2. Jesus’ followers (your brothers and sisters in Christ worldwide).

Your first priority is to KNOW, be fully connected to and solidly engaged to the headship (power, rule and authority) of Christ, the Anointed One and His anointing.  Jesus is the HEAD of the Kingdom of God and everything flows from the head down.

If you are not solidly connected to the head, which is Jesus, then you cannot receive His orders or His power and anointing to carry out His commands, nor will you experience optimum results or wellness.

Jesus is the name above every name.  Jesus is the Word of God.  In order to know Jesus you have to know what the Word of God says.  They are one and the same and cannot be separated.

Of course, you must first accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior before you can KNOW Him and be in an intimate relationship with Him.  Then you must be baptized in His Holy Spirit so He can lead you into all the truth.  Then you can grow up, develop and mature in the things of God.  This is a lifelong process.

Carefully study to present thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.  (2 Timothy 2:15).

The government (rule and way of doing things) of the Kingdom of God is entirely upon King Jesus’ shoulders forever.  It will never pass away.  Clothe and arm yourself in King Jesus Himself and you will be equipped and empowered to live a life of wholeness and wellness as God’s Word declares, promises and delivers.

When you know and obey the Word of God then you will walk right and treat the rest of Jesus’ body as He commanded.  You are to walk in love because faith works by love.

And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.  (2 John 1:6).

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love.  (Galatians 5:6).

But above all these things, put on love, which is the bond of perfection.  (Colossians: 3:14).

Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.  (Romans 13:8).

Part and parcel of loving includes forgiving.  Unforgiveness is the main reason why faith doesn’t work and why people fail to receive healing.  This will obviously prevent wellness.

When you are in right order and standing with Jesus and His body (your brothers and sisters in Christ), you will be in right order and standing with yourself because it is all connected and designed to operate in unity.

He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.  (Ephesians 4:16).

This is the manifestation of the sons of God that the world is groaning to see. They hunger to see a better way to live where they are free, fully loved and accepted, thriving and their needs are fully met.  They need to see God’s people operating  in this full power, authority and anointing of faith in action through the supernatural power of the love of Jesus , the Savior of the world.  It is only possible in and through Christ.

This is ultimately what wellness is all about.  This is how it will be well with your spirit, soul and body.  It is God’s divine order, the way He created it to be.  He knows perfectly well how He designed you and everybody else to function best.  Why don’t you just do it His way and have peace and wellness?

Prayer Power

Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and wellness and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.  In Jesus name I pray for you.  Amen.

The Lord showed me why the body of Christ is not entirely well or whole.  He connected all these dots.  This is not even the two-way journal response He gave me for an Overview of Wellness.  This is the picture he painted.  It is a very strong message and the church must WAKE UP! Even God’s own elect are being deceived by man’s traditions (and way of doing things) and religious spirits.

WAKE UP CHURCH!

Jesus replied, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”  (Mathew 8:20).

The Son of Man is looking for a place to lay His head, meaning to attach His head ( headship, rule and authority) to His body.  However, today, as in the days of His disciples, they were not ready or in position to hear/receive/accept the truth, let alone walk in it.

Many in the body of Christ are trying to operate in the things of God without God’s power and authority flowing through them because they are not solidly attached to the Head.  They are double-minded.  They are disconnected but think they are connected!  They are deceived thinking they are doing things God’s way but they are not.  God is not going to release His anointing and blessings to flow through those who are not rightly representing Him or doing things according to His Word.

Now more than ever we need to be in unity and walking with Christ as His body in order to overcome this corrupt world system.

“But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud… and so on… Having a form of godliness but denying its power, and from such people turn away!”  (2 Timothy 3:1).

Man is trying to meet his own needs in his own ways while squeezing God out of the equation.  This system is called materialism: meeting our needs without God.  There is still too much of the world’s Babylonian system mixed in with the Kingdom way of doing things.  We can’t have it both ways and expect to receive from God.

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

God has made a way to provide for all of our needs according to His riches in glory.  (Philippians 4:19).  His name is Jesus.   We are either going to do it His way or we will be sorely lacking.  We must take our stand and it must be pure.  Are we going to stand for God and His Word or not?

“No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.” (Mathew 6:24).

Too many in the body of Christ are sick, broken, and broke financially.  They are not experiencing wholeness and wellness in their bodies, family, relationships, church/ministry, finances, marketplace, school etc.

“Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.” (James 5:14).

The church is not operating in the fullness of God’s healing power and that must and will change.  All that came to Jesus were healed because they believed the living Word.

“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.”  (Galatian 6:7).

I was reading in Revelation 2:18-29 about the church in Thyatira, the corrupt church.  In my bible notes it said of this church:

• Commendation: Love, service, faith, patience are greater than at first.
• Criticism: Tolerates cult of idolatry and immorality.
• Instruction: Judgment coming; keep the faith.
• Promise: Rule over nations and receive morning star.

Study it for yourself.  It speaks of a morally compromised church in a commercial city that tolerated a cult of idolatry and immorality.  We must ask ourselves if we have any idols in our lives.  Anything we put ahead of God is an idol.  A few examples are: the love of money, modern technology or social marketing gurus and their strategies.

Other idols could be making self your own god and working to meet your own needs, your job/career, doing good works for God’s or man’s approval, church programs, sports, covetousness, lust, competitiveness, shopping, recreation, hobbies, gluttony, greed, sexual vice, drugs, pornography, gambling, gossip, unholy desires and on and on.

We must ask ourselves if we are committing spiritual adultery in any way.  Are we being unfaithful to Jesus by pursuing man’s worldly ways that seem right in our own eyes?  Are we building our own kingdoms or towers of Babel and placing self or others at the top of the heap instead of Jesus?

Are we devising our own dreams, schemes and plans to achieve massive recognition, power, fame, fortune and influence to get what we want instead of following the Holy Spirit and allowing His plan and provision to unfold and be manifested in our lives?

Clearly in these troubled and perilous days, it is time for the sons and daughters of God to be manifested in this earth.  God’s plan is for His body/His people, to be a guiding light to the rest of the world to lead them out of darkness.

We are supposed to be the set-apart ones.  However, oftentimes the church and its ways cannot be distinguished from the world and its way of doing things.  Something has to change. As believers we are called to be like Jesus.  Is that what the world is seeing in you?  Are you walking His way?

Love in Jesus,

Psalm 139: 23,24: Search me thoroughly, Oh God, and know my heart!  Try me and know my thoughts!  And see if there is any wicked or hurtful way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting, in the matchless name of Jesus. Amen.
