“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!

We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.  (Romans 8:22 NIV).

Upon awakening I had a snippet of a prophetic “pregnancy dream.” I periodically have them particularly at the beginning of a brand new season.  Everything within me and around me is screaming that this is the beginning of an enormous, critical and strategic new season.  The phrase: mother lode of new seasons is ringing in my spirit.  Mother lode is defined as “the principal lode in a system.” This is all about the Kingdom of God and His system and way of doing things.

In the dream my belly was swollen.  I wondered how could I have put on so much weight.   Then I realized to my shock that I was pregnant!  This always takes me by surprise because I am beyond childbearing age naturally.  Then Holy Spirit let me know this was one of “those times” when something was about to be birthed. As I rubbed my belly in the dream it was stirring up this Word From Jesus.  I heard in my spirit: Authority is far reaching… I knew the King was speaking so I ran to my computer.

#WFJ THE AUTHORITY OF KING JESUS!

Authority is far reaching.  It comes from within where the King of Kings rules in your heart.  I Am that I Am and I have given you My power and authority to be over comers in this wicked world that wants to do things man’s ways and not My ways.

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.  (Mathew 28:18)

Look where it has gotten them… mass disorder and chaos.  Read the signs of the times.  Even the earth is crying out as it quakes and shakes for order – that is for My order.  Pay attention, My people!  Wake up, My people!  These are the signs of the times!  Will you ignore these birth pangs as the very earth moves and quakes and shakes?  Prepare ye the way of the Lord!

Will you not recall that the sky grew dark and My earth quaked when the Son of God and Man was nailed to the cross.  It quaked when My only begotten Son was resurrected from the dead to show My supreme power and authority. Spring has come and this is a brand new season of hope, so fear not.  We are in a high holy season and approaching the high mark (date) of the resurrection of Jesus the Christ (Resurrection Sunday).  Look up for your redemption is drawing nigh!  (Luke 21:28).

When this world does not know what to do or how to recognize the signs of the times, you, My children, are the ones in position to point them to Jesus, the Anointed One and His anointing.  Share with people the good news of the hope of glory because all they see and fear is the bad news they are seeing unfold before their very eyes on TV and in the media.

This is a time of great deception, chaos and fear where sin is abounding and causing man’s hearts to wax cold toward the things of God. Nevertheless, as the days grow darker and as sin abounds, remember that My grace will abound much more.  People are hungry and desperate to hear the truth and the way out of all the bleakness and hopelessness in this world.

This is the season of due birth. This is the time for the glorious harvest of souls that Jesus Christ is returning for. Open your mouths and deliver the relief, hope and truth of My Word, the Word that will deliver man’s soul from the grave and eternity without Me.  People all over the world are looking for the way out and I Am that life preserver they are desperately seeking.

I have given My people My power and authority to be the channels through which signs and wonders will flow. Yes, these earthquakes are powerful and undeniable signs, however there are even greater signs of My miraculous power and glory.  These are signs of My mighty power to save the souls of men from flooding into eternal damnation apart from the grace of this Almighty God.  People all over the world saw the sheer power and force of the earthquakes and rushing tsunami waves bring mass destruction in Japan and beyond, but My power is the supreme force and source that brings LIFE and the greatest miracle of all, the miracle of salvation, for every soul of mankind is precious to Me, Creator of all.

Through this one mighty miracle of the saving of a soul, all my other gifts and promises are freely given and accessed.  I Am the Prince of Peace and only My peace can satisfy and calm a fearful heart, for all fear leads to the ultimate fear of death which comes only from the small-minded prince of the air and small god of this world, Satan.

The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy.  I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).   (John 10:10 Amplified).

This (John 10:10) is the dividing line and it is the free will of man that will choose which side of the line he or she will stand on: LIFE OR DEATH! Time is short before I return and take out My body of believers from this sin corrupted world.  After I rapture My Church, all hell will break loose and tribulation like this world has never known will flood in.  There are still countless souls who don’t know Me, the Redeemer of their soul.  Let My power and authority arise in you, My body, to demonstrate My saving power, grace and love to a hopeless world headed for eternal damnation because they don’t know and accept Me as their Lord and Savior.

THIS IS MY, AS WELL AS YOUR, APPOINTED PRIORITY IN THIS LIFE HERE AND NOW! MAKE MY POWER, GLORY AND AUTHORITY KNOWN TO THE WORLD THROUGH MY LOVE AND COMPASSION FLOODING OUT OF YOUR HEARTS LIKE RIVERS OF LIVING WATER, GREATER THAN ANY TSUNAMI THIS WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN.  IT WAS FIRST DEMONSTRATED ON THAT CROSS OF CALVARY WHEN I SACRIFICED MY ONLY SON JESUS SO THE WORLD MAY BE RESTORED TO MY ORIGINAL PLAN.  THAT PLAN IS FOR FULL ALLEGIANCE TO THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS, THE ONLY ONE WHO IS ABLE TO PROVIDE AND FULLY SATISFY EVERY NEED AND DESIRE OF THE HUMAN HEART.

I AM THE ETERNAL HOME EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD IS LOOKING FOR.  I AM THAT SABBATH PLACE OF ETERNAL REST, JOY, PEACE, LOVE, GRACE, MERCY AND TOTAL PROVISION.  THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO LACK IN ME AND WHOLENESS IS WHAT YOUR HUNGRY HEARTS SEEK.  WHOLENESS OF SPIRIT, SOUL, BODY, PROVISON, AND RELATIONSHIP IS FOUND ONLY IN ME.

SO COME AND DRINK DEEPLY OF MY WATER OF LIFE AND LEAD OTHERS TO THAT BOTTOMLESS WELL OF LIFE.  JUST GIVE THEM JESUS AND I WILL DO THE REST!  OPEN THE DOOR OF YOUR HEART AND LET ME OUT!  FOR YOU, MY BELIEVING CHILDREN, ARE MY BODY AND MY FULLNESS IN THIS EARTH.  IT IS TIME FOR A TSUNAMI OF MY GLORY TO BE DEMONSTRATED ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN AND YOU HAVE AN INTEGRAL PART TO PLAY AS I BRING THIS AGE TO A CLOSE TO SET UP MY MILLENIAL REIGN.

WATCH AND PRAY FOR MY RETURN.  OBEY THAT WHICH I SPEAK TO YOUR HEARTS, FOR MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE AND I AM SPEAKING, “PREPARE YE THE WAY OF THE LORD.  I AM COMING BACK SOON!  ARE YOU PERSONALLY READY AND ARE YOU BEING MY WITNESSES TO THE ENDS OF THIS EARTH?”

I LOVE YOU,

YOUR SOON COMING KING

PS -  GET YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER BECAUSE I AM COMING BACK TO TAKE BACK MY HOUSE AND PUT IT IN DIVINE ORDER!

Prayer Power

Almighty God, Maker of heaven and earth, I recognize you as the one and only true supreme power and authority over all creation.  Have Your way, Holy Spirit, and bring all men, women and children unto salvation through the saving grace and love of Christ Jesus.  Come Lord Jesus and King of Kings!  Make all things new and restore your divine order on earth as it is in heaven, in your name.  Amen.

PRAYER FOR SALVATION

If you do not know the Lord Jesus as your Savior and Lord and want to know for sure, simply pray the following prayer in faith believing and Jesus will be your Lord!

Heavenly Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus.  Your Word says, “Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Acts 2:21).  I am calling on you.  I pray and ask Jesus to come into my heart and be Lord over all my life according to Romans 10: 9, 10: “If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”  I do that now.  I confess that Jesus is Lord, and I believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead.

I am now reborn!  I am a Christian – a child of Almighty God!  I am saved!

You also said in Your Word, “If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children:  HOW MUCH MORE shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him?”  (Luke 11:13).  I’m also asking You to fill me with Your Holy Spirit.  Rise up within me as I praise God.  I fully expect to speak with other tongues as You give me the utterance (Acts 2:4).  In Jesus name.  Amen!

Begin to praise God for filling you with His Holy Spirit.  Speak those words and syllables you receive – not in your own language, but the language given to you by the Holy Spirit.  You have to use your own voice.   God will not force you to speak.  Don’t be concerned with how it sounds.  It is a heavenly language!

Continue with the blessing God has given you and pray in the spirit every day.  You are a born-again, Spirit-filled  believer.  You’ll never be the same!  Welcome to the family of God!

Find a good church that boldly preaches God’s Word and obeys it.  Become part of a church family who will love and care for you as you love and care for them.

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,

As believers we must realize that we are “change agents” and that our prayers, directed by the Holy Spirit, give God legal right in this earth to move on our behalf and those of others. As we are obedient to believe in and honor His Kingdom system of creating and forming things by the power of faith filled words, He is faithful to perform His Word.

#WFJ: BEHOLD ME IN ALL MY GLORY

In my sleep I heard in my spirit yet another new word from the Holy Spirit.  It was BUH-WHOLE-LAH. He let me know it meant:  Behold me in all of My glory because you become what you continually behold.

My Word says that when you draw near to Me I draw near to you. You draw near when you think of me because I know your every thought and I read your heart.  I Am LOVE so I am drawn to those who love Me in their thoughts, words and deeds.

I also say in My Word that I inhabit the praises of My people. Wherever and whoever praises Me, there I Am!  Just as with any parent in the natural world, I love it when my children just love to be with Me simply because they love Me and not because they want something from Me.

Oh, I love to give My children good gifts, but it especially means a lot to Me when I know they TRUST ME AND KNOW I LOVE THEM AND JUST LET ME LOVE THEM. It’s My nature to love and to bless My children and I want them to desire an intimate relationship with Me.

It grieves My heart when My children wonder where I am when I am here in you, and all around you all of the time. I go with you to the ends of the earth because I love you that much!  I am with you in all of your upright deeds as well as with you in those deeds that don’t honor Me because I love you and because you are My children as well as My child!

I am in your very breath because I Am Life.  I come with resurrection power and healing in My wings.  I sent Jesus to give you abundant life.  You can only know me in Spirit and in truth because I am Spirit.

I am a supernatural being but you may experience Me in the natural realm when you access Me or come to Me by faith. In other words, when you simply believe I exist and reward those who diligently seek Me, you will find Me.

You can seek Me through your worship of Me or by and through reading, believing, hearing and applying My holy Word, the bible.  It is My love letter for life to you personally!  I keep My Word so I desire for you to keep and honor My Word in your heart.

I am a covenant God and I am all about keeping relationship, not about keeping rigid rules and traditions.  However, when you truly love Me you will honor Me and keep My commandments.

I love you so much that I put on flesh and came into this natural world to show you the way to eternal life and how to love like Me.  I, Jehovah God, came as the living human and yet divine Word, Jesus, the incorruptible seed of resurrection life.

When you continually behold (trust, follow, obey, imitate) Me with your eyes and heart of faith, believing I am the one true God and the only way to the Father in heaven, then I will exalt and honor you and you will have hold of My glory and become like Me.

My ways are not man’s ways.  They are much higher, deeper, fuller, richer, and beyond human comprehension, but they lead you into My perfect love and glory where all grace abounds and supercedes man’s limited natural way of thinking and doing things.  My ways bring you into my supernatural omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent realm of glory.

Come, My Child.  My heart and arms are wide open and long to give you all that belongs to Me. My Kingdom is freely yours when you freely give yourself completely to Me and enter My glory, My presence.  In My presence is fullness of joy, peace, eternal life and every good thing your heart has been searching for, but will not find outside of Me and My glory.

Come while I may be found. NOW is the time of salvation and everything you were designed to desire and have need of is found in My free gift of salvation provided by Jesus on the cross of Calvary.  I want you to live in the fullness of what salvation provides.

I desire to show you and unwrap for you the fullness of My gift of eternal life. It covers wholeness (total healing) in every area of your life including: your spirit, soul (mind, will and emotions) your physical body, finances and relationships.  In Me absolutely nothing is missing or broken.  That is true shalom/peace.

So I say once again, “Behold me in all of My glory because you become what you continually behold.  Draw close to Me and I will draw close to you and show you My glory in all of it’s fullness.  Behold (take hold of) Me and My Kingdom way of doing things and be like Me.

ONLY BELIEVE!  Enter the good pleasure and perfect will and fulfillment of your heavenly Father and I will show it to you now and forevermore!

Love in Jesus,

PRAYER POWER

Father God, my greatest desire is to know You in all of Your fullness and glory.  My heart hungers and thirsts for more of you.  Show me and teach me Your ways as I continually seek Your face and behold Your glory, in Jesus matchless name.  Amen.

The Lord told Kenneth HE IS CALLING THE BODY OF CHRIST TO RALLY AROUND THE PRAYER OF INTERCESSION.

I am reminded of these scriptures:

Who [is] he that condemneth? [It is] Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.  (Romans 8:34).

Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.  (Hebrew 7:25).

This is what Jesus did when He walked this earth and still does in heaven.  We must do the same because we are like Him.  TAKE YOUR CLUE! Jesus only said what He heard the Father say and did only what He saw the Father doing.

Holy Spirit woke me up at the crack of dawn and prompted me to play a worship CD.  I had just gotten it at the Kenneth Copeland Victory Campaign in Woodbridge, VA held on Nov. 11-13.  This was from a LifeLine publication called “Building Relationships That Last” by Kenneth and Gloria Copeland.

I was led to pray in the spirit. I heard another new word I have never prayed before.  It was NA-TOOSH-SHE-WAH. I asked the Lord what it meant and I heard the word and saw an image of a PAPOOSE, a young child of American Indian parents.

I wondered about the significance of a papoose. Then the Lord showed me that it was upon His back that He carried the world and all of man’s sins.  His back took all the lashes and stripes that represented every single sin ever committed in the past, present and future.  His blood cleansed us and redeemed us from the curse of all sin.  His back is the foundation upon which He carries and protects all of His children in the Body of Christ.

All of a sudden I literally got this sharp pain in my left foot as I lay in bed.  I was still praying in the spirit.  A vision popped up of a chalkboard and I saw Jesus writing on it. He penned a reminder that the just must walk uprightly in the spirit (by faith). The pain in my foot immediately vanished.

I believe God was showing me that in these perilous times, He is calling us and expecting to use us through the mighty ministry of intercession. The world is growing darker and darker because of rampant sin, however, the church is growing brighter and brighter as we arise and shine!

Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.  For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.  (Isaiah 60: 1,2).

Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound.  (Romans 5:20).

The fullness of time has come for the greatest outpouring of the Spirit the world has ever seen! God wants to use us as vessels of honor through which this mighty power will flow to bring in the end time harvest of saved souls.

THE ONLY WAY THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN IS THROUGH THE MINISTRY OF INTERCESSION! There is sin in the camp and WE must be obedient to the Holy Spirit to pray what He tells us to pray so He can legally do what we say, thereby defeating sin and sweeping in countless saved souls into the Kingdom and family of God in Jesus name!

How amazing it is that God chooses born again believers to co-create and partner with Him to bring about His perfect plan and purposes in this earth! His name is the name above every name.  He has all power and authority.

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”  (Mathew 28:18-20).

Jesus is the indisputable head of the Body of Christ. We are His body in all of His fullness in this earth.  It’s time NOW for us to rise and BE the most powerful living body/organism on earth to bring about global transformation.

Do you fully grasp and comprehend that it is the disciples of Christ who have the glorious privilege of being used for the greatest outpouring of the Spirit?  Out of our bellies shall flow rivers of living water to bring forth signs, miracles and wonders that are in the Holy Spirit who is in us!  PRAYER IS THE MAJOR ROLE IN THIS GREAT OUTPOURING!

And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.  (Acts 2:21).

The signs and wonders will influence people to call upon His name and be saved.  In order to be saved, one must be born into the family of God.

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.  (John 3:3).

THINK ON THESE THINGS ABOVE AND ASK YOURSELF THESE QUESTIONS:

• Do I really and totally TRUST GOD, believe and apply His Word to every area of my life?

• Do I know and am I walking in the fullness, power and authority of who I am in Christ?

• Am I ready, willing and able to respond to the critical call of the Great Commission right now?

• Will I be an integral part of the greatest outpouring of the Spirit the world has ever seen through my faithfulness to pray in the Holy Spirit, so He CAN AND WILL DO what He leads me to say?

• Will I, the bride of Christ, be found faithful and trustworthy by being about my Father God’s business when He returns for me?

When I was at the Copeland’s Victory Campaign this November, I had a spectacular and stirring vision of Jesus during our anointed worship. We were singing these words over and over with such vigor, “Lord, You’re mighty!”

Just then I was caught up in a vision of such magnitude and urgency! I saw Jesus on a beautiful white horse.  He was charging ahead at top speed in the fullness of all His mighty power, glory and dominion.  He had fire in His eyes and heart.  I saw the name FAITHFUL written on His thigh and a flashing sword coming out of His mouth!  It was breath-taking.

MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT.  IT’S LATER THAN YOU THINK AND HE IS COMING BACK SOONER THAN YOU REALIZE!  ARE YOU PERSONALLY READY FOR HIS RETURN AT ANY TIME?  BE READY.  OUR SOON COMING KING IS RETURNING TO TAKE OVER AND ESTABLISH HIS ETERNAL KINGDOM!

Father God, My heart’s desire is to trust You completely and to obey Your Holy Spirit.  Teach me and lead me into all truth and show me things to come.  I need Your help so I will be found faithful when Jesus comes back for me!  The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!”  In Jesus name, amen.

The holy presence of the Lord was so tangible.  The anointed atmosphere was filled with such joy, exuberance, worshipping and dancing.  It was very powerful when Paul Wilbur concluded  by singing the Aaronic Benediction from Numbers 6:23-27

Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, Thus you shall bless the people of Israel: you shall say to them, “The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.” So shall they put my name upon the people of Israel, and I will bless them.

Notice that the phrase, “May the LORD lift up His face toward you…”  provides a picture of God holding you up in His arms, as a delighted father might hold up his young child in joy….  God “lifts up His face” as He holds you up in divine joy!

Upon waking the next morning this is what I received from the Lord:

#WFJ: ALERT!  ALERT!  I’M COMING SOON!

Nancy, Greetings from the Lord!  These are the days of Elijah!  Prepare ye the way of the Lord!   I’M COMING SOON!

There is no time to waste, for when I come, time will come to an end and those who KNOW Me – the Great I Am – will reign with Me eternally.  I will have redeemed time and of My reign there will be no end.

The King of Glory is coming to establish preeminence and all of man’s foolishness will be seen for what it is WITHOUT EXCUSE!

The day is coming when every living soul will stand face to face with YOUR Maker and YOU will give an accounting of YOUR life.  Everyone will be asked, “What did YOU do with My Son Jesus?  Did YOU accept Him or reject Him?

Those who were ashamed of Him and did not accept Him will be cast aside and left out of My presence for eternity.  Those who were not ashamed of Me and accepted My Son will be received and enter My Kingdom of paradise, My heavenly realm for eternity.

HEAVEN IS REAL AND SO AM I! Those who turn their back, heart and soul against Jesus do the same to Me, for I Am The Living God and King of Kings.  The time of salvation is NOW! The fields are ripe to harvest.  I do not wish for anyone to perish from My presence, but a choice must be made for Me or against Me.

I must judge man’s sin and wicked ways.  I Am Jehovah God, The One True God.  I am not deceived like man and there is coming a time soon when I will no longer be mocked!

Are YOU ready to meet your Maker?  Have you really believed and received Me?  Have you taken Me at My Word?

It is My goodness that draws men to repentance.  YOU DON’T FIND ME!  I come after you by My Holy Spirit, for I KNEW you before you were formed in your mother’s womb.  I have tugged on your heart and desired to be known, acknowledged and loved by you because I AM LOVE.

I came before you and I am greater than My creation.  I gave you a free will to choose to love Me in return.  I loved you enough to risk losing you when you didn’t choose and receive Me.

Even when you rejected me I still loved you and made a way for you to return to Me and accept Me.  That WAY, the only way, is through My Son Jesus.  He is the door to My heart and all of My Kingdom.

Come though Jesus who paid the price for all of man’s sins: past, present and future.  In and of yourself you have nothing to offer Me but the acceptance of My Son’s ransom.  He paid in blood to release you from all wrath and judgment, for I Am a holy God and I demand justice

Jesus did the work, paid and paved your way into My heaven.  Only His blood sacrifice will get the fool out of you and remove your sins that separate you from My holiness.  Only My blood redeems, cleanses, heals and transforms you.

Am I your way or not?  Are you living for Me or not?  Do you know the (whole) truth or not?  Are you watching, praying and waiting for My return that can happen any moment – in the twinkling of an eye.  DON’T GET LEFT BEHIND!

Have you told others about My LOVE and the way to heaven?   Am I your priority or are you chasing after idols that counterfeit My Love and truth?  Don’t be deceived.  I will not be mocked.  I AM COMING BACK SOON TO TAKE MY OWN OUT OF THIS WICKED WORLD.  Then the Tribulation will begin and all hell will break loose.  YOU DON’T WANT TO BE LEFT BEHIND, SO CHOOSE ME NOW!

Spread My Word as I have commanded you to do in My Great Commission.  Do your part so others will know the way home to My heart for all eternity. Even those who reject Me, I will still love, but they will have chosen to spend eternity separated from Me and My love.  They will be without any hope.

RETURN TO ME, MY CHILDREN!  I love you beyond description and time.  I AM COMING FOR YOU SOON!  BE READY AND LOOK UP, FOR YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWS NEAR!  Maranatha.

Love in Jesus,

GRACE NOTES

I believe when He asked, “Have you taken Me at My Word?”  He was asking not for lip service but for heart service.  Are you living for Him and not for yourself?  Has His Word and His Holy Spirit made it clear to you ANY and ALL areas where you are ignorant, blinded, rebellious or deceived about His Word and how you are living?

There is always a danger for those who read or hear a message like this when they think to themselves, “Oh I am saved.  I’m safe.  This message is not for me!  Just because you are saved doesn’t mean that you can coast or live any way you want to.

The danger is that there may be some areas of hidden or questionable sin that you overlook or are too casual about if you are not permanently focused on God’s Word and continually yielded to the instruction of the Holy Spirit.

God loved YOU while you were yet a sinner and He loved you that much to die for you and redeem you back to your original condition like Adam and Eve…whole, without sin and living in absolute intimacy and love with your heavenly Father.

Jesus doesn’t want to just save you from eternal separation from God the Father. He also wants to transform you from the inside out so you will reflect His image and likeness the way God originally designed you.  Even when you accept Jesus, you can’t stay the same.  Your nature is to grow.  You must be in the light as He is in the light.  To do that you must take Him at His Word and APPLY THE TRUTH, the whole truth and nothing but the truth to your life.

PRAYER POWER

Father God, Thank You for Your glorious never failing Word of Truth.  Help us to never take lightly or for granted the greatest miracle of all, Your gift of salvation.  May we choose to  remain submitted to Your Holy Spirit always.  Continually open the eyes of our understanding with Your revelation, that we may receive and walk in the fullness of Your total salvation gift until You come back for Your Bride, in Jesus name.  Amen.

I am asking Jesus now to tell me more because I want to have eyes to see and ears to hear how great is that door and what He has opened up to me.

#WFJ: Follow Me at All Cost

My child, I Am the door of life to you and it pleases My heart when you desire to follow Me unquestioning where it may lead.   This tells Me that you are putting your trust in Me and know that where I lead is good and brings forth life for you as well as others.

Once you have tasted and seen that I Am good you will tell others and influence them to follow Me also.  My Word says blessed are those whose feet carry the gospel of My good news.  Going through the door of salvation is just the beginning of a great adventure with Me.

I Am abundant life and I want you and whosoever will follow Me to experience firsthand what resurrection life is all about.  I Am the Resurrection and the Life and because of Me man’s greatest enemy – DEATH – has been defeated through the blood of Jesus.

There is no life apart from the blood of Jesus and He who follows Me will experience eternal life.  This eternal life that I offer banishes FEAR because all fears eventually trace back to the fear of death, man’s ultimate enemy.  I want My people to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is an evil spirit behind fear that is driving them away from Me and the eternal life I offer.

The devil, or the spirit of death, has nothing good to offer anyone whatsoever, only death, hell and the grave, and fear all along the way that robs My people of peace of mind.  Jesus is the Prince of Peace and He wants to come into your heart and be the umpire to rule and reign over the affairs of your life.  Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy and lead you ever so deceptively away from Me.

I am the door.  If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.  The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.  I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.  John 10:9,10).

This is the dividing line in the sand of your life.  On My side there is abundant resurrection life that never ends because I Am the Creator and I gave you life.  On the other side of the line there is Satan and ultimate destruction and life apart from Me.

He  has nothing creative or good to offer.  What he does offer is wrapped in subtle and sneaky deception.  It may appear good because it appeals to your natural senses but in the end it will lead to death.  Sin may be pleasurable for a while but it will bear the fruit of death in due season.

What Satan appeals to is the natural side of man.  That is the carnal side.  It is temporal or temporary and it will come to a natural end.  What I offer is eternal and appeals to the spirit of man and it is life giving not life taking.

The things of this world will pass away but My Word and the things of the spirit will never pass away.  I need for My people to open their spiritual eyes and see the distinction between the spiritual and the natural.  The world’s system is built upon the natural things and is very limited.  People who operate in this system cannot see the things of God because they are seen through spiritual eyes of faith.

The things of God are foolishness to the natural man because they don’t satisfy their natural senses.  If they can’t see it, touch I, smell it, hear it, taste it, or understand it (reason it out) with the natural mind, then it is not real or valid to them.

On the other hand, the man who is born anew from above, meaning accepts new life and Lordship through the blood of Jesus sacrifice on the cross, sees and understands life through his spirit man which is connected to and made in the image and likeness of God.

This system is expansive, unlimited and life giving.  The two systems are polar opposites and at enmity with each other.  That is why the Kingdom of God and the world’s system are at war with each other.  It is a war for survival.

I am asking you to choose between life and death.  This is a fight to the finish and the only way anyone will survive and live with Me in eternity is by faith and the way of the Holy Spirit whom I sent to lead you into all truth which will bring you home to live with Me eternally in My Kingdom.

I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live.  (Deuteronomy 30:19).

The way of Satan is deceptive and treacherous.  It can only lead to death because he is a liar and there is no truth in him.  He will do whatever it takes to get you off the straight and narrow path of truth that leads to eternal life and is found only through Me.  There is no demilitarized zone.  You are either for Me or against Me.  You only have two choices: life or death; light or darkness; good or evil.

The darkness is in this world but it will never overcome the light.  If you can’t see where you are going, you are headed in the wrong direction.  Follow Me.  If you are stuck or your options are limited, then follow Me.  If you feel trapped and in bondage to anything, then you are going the wrong way.  Follow Me.  I Am the door and I have the answers you need that will set you free and lead to the good life that will satisfy your spirit.

If you don’t know Me or know how to follow Me then call on the name of Jesus.  He is the door to eternal life.  He will in no way cast you out or deny you if you ask Him to come into your heart and be your Savior and the Lord of your life.  This is the very first step in the journey of eternal life with Christ the Lord.  It opens the door and way to everything I have promised in My holy Word, the bible.

If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.  For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  (Romans 10:9,10 ).

I am not as a man who should lie and I am faithful and just to keep My Word.  Come into the presence and joy of your Lord and follow Me.  If you have trusted Me as Savior and have been following Me but the road is rough and rocky, do not lose heart and do not give up.

Keep your eyes on and trust in My Word and I will not fail you.  I will see you through all the hard places and times of persecution.  I told you in My word there would be trials and tribulations.  Blessed are those who continue in the faith trusting Me to bring you all the way through to victory.

You already won the victory over death when you accepted me as your Lord and Savior.  Press in and press on for the crown of life that awaits you in heaven.  The battle will have been worth it. Your mind cannot conceive or lay hold of everything that waits for you on My side of heaven.  So take My Word and press on until My glorious appearing when your faith will become sight. What a glorious homecoming it will be.

Continue to rejoice in Me always for the victory is mine and it has been won already.  I have placed you on earth for My eternal purposes to follow Me and show others the way to victory through Me.  So be brave and courageous.  Do not let go of My heart, the heart of the Lion of Judah, who laid it all down for your total victory so you could be with Me forever.

Remember this war is for the multitude of souls who do not yet know the way home to Me and My heart.  Keep fighting for them so I will be glorified.  That’s why you are doing it… for Me, who did it for you.  Follow your servant leader and lay down your life for others. Your reward in heaven is great.  Your reward here and now on earth is great knowing you are obeying and pleasing the heart of your Master and King of kings.

Your time of ease and continual celebration is at hand when My love for you will be consummated at the Marriage Super of the Lamb. No one knows the day or hour so be ever ready.  Watch and pray for your soon coming King is saddled up and chomping at the bit to bring His glorious bride home.  It is My will that not any perish and I am extending My grace and mercy so more can come home to be with Me.

I love you with an everlasting and fierce love, My Bride.  Be faithful and remain true to Me and My Word even as I Am faithful, for My grace is sufficient.  Everything you have known in this life on earth cannot even touch or be compared to the weightiness of My far surpassing glory you will know intimately in My presence face to face. Hold on to that in faith.  It is more than enough.  I have pledged it in My own blood through Jesus.

With undying love,

Your Betrothed King of Glory

Love in Jesus,

Thank You, My Lord and King, for reminding me why I am here on earth.  When the battle gets rough and I get weary in my flesh, please remind me all over again.  Thank you for your grace and patience with me.  I choose to follow you no matter what.  Continue to open the eyes of my understanding and lead me by Your Holy Spirit, in Jesus name I pray.  Amen

ROC stands for Richmond Outreach Center.  They just had their grand opening for their brand new ministry headquarters, The Big House, in Richmond, VA.  Yesterday I wrote a blog post entitled: The Grand Opening of The ROC At The Big House In Richmond, VA .  Click on the title to read it.

#WFJ: A Celebration Built On The Solid Rock of Jesus Christ

My Child, if only My people would see that this is what I desire to do in the lives of all of My children.  I have a dream so big for each one to step into.  I have poured in such massive treasure and giftings into each of My children before they were even an embryo in their mother’s womb.

I see all things.  I see the end from the beginning.  I am the Creator of this universe.  Do you  think that the infinite vastness of My creation was reserved just for the world in which My children live?  No.  No.  My children are My greatest treasure and resource.  My People have been made in My image and likeness.  They have been designed with creative spirits and a heart to believe and a will to accomplish great things.

Don’t you see that I have given each of you a miraculous imagination to dream and perceive and receive what I desire to download into your spirits?  It’s a supernatural process and I designed everything in this universe out of this supernatural substance I call faith.  It is how I designed everything to work and everyone will believe in something or someone and My desire is that they will choose to believe Me and what I say in My holy word, the bible which is the good book of My wondrous ways and thoughts.

I sent My dear Son Jesus to come into this world to show you the way and how things operate in My Kingdom.  He is My living Word demonstrating the truth of My faithfulness and the perfection of my faith system.  I am the architect of this Kingdom, therefore I know how it was designed to operate to maximum potential and perfection.  The perfection or wholeness or completion, if you will, comes from putting your complete trust in Me so I can bring things to pass for My glory and My perfect will.  You can be absolutely assured that it is always for the blessing of My people and for a good and glorious end.

I am so proud of My son, Geronimo Aguilar for opening his heart and receiving the vision I placed in his heart.  I knew I could entrust him with the responsibility of such a large dream, all the way from conception to birth.  It takes faith to do that.  It is impossible to please Me without faith.  It is not always easy to see a dream through, that is why You need me to complete it for it cannot be done in your own strength but by My Holy Spirit.  I supply every good work I have commissioned My people to carry out.  I supernaturally supply all the resources whether it be finances, materials or people.  I also supply favor and open doors when there seems to be no way.

I was able to trust My son, Geronimo, to be faithful in the little things so he could be proved to handle bigger things.  The proof is in the pudding as they say.  My son has reaped much great fruit for My Kingdom and for My honor and glory.  Souls are at stake here and multitudes are headed to eternity apart from Me because they don’t know Jesus and the salvation and transformation I provide.  There is still a grand plan in action here until I return in the fullness of time to sweep My people up to be with Me at the end of this age.

My coming is sooner than people think.  There is still much work to be done.  As Geronimo preached at the grand opening of The ROC,  I have prepared a place in heaven for whosoever believes in Me .  In My House there are many mansions.  I know what will please each of My children and I want them all to be with Me.  I will leave the 99 to go and find that one lost one because each one is so precious to Me.  It is My will that not any perish and that is why I have called those who have already accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior to tell the others about eternal life with Me in My House.

When Geronimo said he had been waiting a long time to say, “Welcome to 6 o’clock ROC at The Big House,” just imagine how much longer I have been waiting to welcome ALL MY CHILDREN HOME TO MY HEAVENLY MANSION.  I have waited since before the foundation of the world to see My children coming home.  I already know what it looks like.  And Jesus endured the shame and pain of the cross because He was in complete unity with Me even to the point of death on the cross.  That is the price we paid to secure your homecoming.  That is how much I love you, My children.

It took a lot to get to this point at the ROC and now the work continues with even greater intensity and urgency.  All of heaven was celebrating with Me as The ROC celebrated its grand opening.  This is a model for the city to see what can be accomplished when God is at the center of a God-given vision.  This is an example of what it will look like in heaven when all My children gather to worship Me and be a vital part of My Kingdom.  I am The Redeemer.  I break down walls that separate and divide people.  I alone change hearts and bring life giving transformation.

I am looking for a family who will abide with Me eternally in peace, joy and righteousness in the Holy Ghost. I am LOVE and this is what My people will exhibit to Me and to each other.

Will you lay down your life for Me as I did for you?  Will you serve Me with a glad heart for all I have done for you?  Will you pass on the LOVE, grace and mercy you have been freely given by Me?  You will find no greater fulfillment, joy and satisfaction in life until you come into alignment with My LOVE for you and duplicate it to others through the power and anointing of Jesus who gave His blood to give you resurrection life in Me.

The ROC at the Big House is truly a “chip off the block” of the one true solid ROCK of Jesus Christ, the chief cornerstone of My Kingdom.  What I have started I will finish because I am a faithful God.  I keep My Word and when I speak it is finished.  The day is coming when My body will be visibly fitly joined together for all the world to see how I work in power and many will come into the Kingdom because they will know beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is a God and I Am He, the Lord of lords and King of kings.

Take heart, My children.  Don’t ever give up on Me for I never give up on you.  I promise to never leave you or forsake you.  I love you with an everlasting love.  Enter the joy of the Lord and abide in My presence always and you will see and be a part of great and mighty things.

Love in Jesus,

Lord God Almighty, we give You the highest praise and glory for who You are and for loving us so perfectly and faithfully.  Thank You for the privilege and honor of allowing us to partner with You to accomplish great and mighty things for Your eternal Kingdom.

Thank You for The ROC at The Big House. It is a victory for all of us in Your family.  We pray you will duplicate this vision casting process from conception to birth to complete fulfillment in all of your children as you have done since the beginning of Your creation.  Help us to be found faithful in fulfilling Your Great Commission, in Jesus name.  Amen

It was a great celebration at the Grand Opening of The ROC (Richmond Outreach Center) at The Big House located on 5501 Midlothian Turnpike in Richmond, VA 23225, on April 10, 2010.  Senior Pastor Geronimo Aguilar waited a very long time before he could triumphantly declare, “Welcome to six o’clock ROC at The Big House!”

Bertha Hinson and I were among thousands who came to celebrate this great victory for the body of Christ.  Bertha has known Pastor G for a long time.  She knew him nine years ago when he was pastoring a church and busy “Changing Lives and Making Life Changers.”

Geronimo started small and faithfully kept building what God had put in his heart.  He kept the vision alive and nine years later by the grace, power, provision, and favor of God and the work of countless people, Pastor Geronimo and his wife Samantha Aguilar literally stepped into a three dimensional manifestation of that vision come true.

The ROC’s new ministry headquarters at The Big House is a shining example to all of us how big God is.  The Pastor so aptly confessed at the grand opening, “Look at the house God built!”  He emphatically testified that all this is not about a man, a ministry, or people, but about JESUS, who came to seek and save the lost.  The Big House was built for sinners so they could come to know Jesus and be saved and transformed.

Pastor G invited a very special guest to deliver a greeting and opening prayer.  Governor Bob McDonnell came to the Pastor’s aid in the early years of the ministry  when McDonnell was Attorney General.  The crowd went wild with applause for the Governor’s support.  They both have come a long way.

There was a wonderful time of exuberant worship, much of it led by Samantha Aguilar.  The youth displayed a lot of fancy footwork in an energetic presentation of “The History of Dance.”  All the musicians were quite gifted.

Pastor G preached a stirring message about the great love Jesus has for all sinners.  He is still the same today, yesterday and forever. Jesus never turns anyone away who comes to Him to be saved and He is always seeking that which is lost.

The Pastor shared that in the past week alone the different ministries in their evangelistic outreach led 1010 people to Christ.  Then he gave an altar call for salvation and there were more people flooding the altars then there were people to pray for them.  There is no question about it.  The ROC is reaping a rich harvest of souls for Jesus.  If you want to know how effective any ministry is, just look at the fruit it is producing.

At The Roc, it is evident that this is a community of God’s people who have managed to break down the walls that separate people according to race, ethnicity, nationality, denomination, education, and socio-economic standards – just like God does.  All are welcome here just like they will be in heaven.

It has been an amazing test and testimony of Geronimo and Sam Aguilar’s faith. Their spiritual journey of the heart has brought them all the way from a warehouse on Brook Rd. to The Big House on Midlothian Turnpike.  The architect for this incredible facility is Eric Hepler.  It has a capacity to hold 4500 people.

This state of the art building houses the ROC Café, Fitness Center, Dance Studio, Food Pantry, Computer Lab, Shops including: The ROC Bookstore, Jesus Couture, Laundromat, Hair Salon and Spa to name a few.

The ROC has about 140 ministries.  For more information check it out at their all new website at http://theroc.com

Thank you, Lord for The ROC at The Big House and everyone connected to it!  This is a mighty victory for the body of Christ.  May we all be encouraged to dream big and hold onto our God-given dreams until we see God bring them to pass because of our steadfast faith in God’s Word.

I simply want to declare that Jesus is Lord and Savior over Virginia.  Save this city, Jesus!  Hallelujah and praise God in Jesus name.  Amen.

In my quiet time this morning I asked the Lord what would He have His people know this day on the heels of such a glorious victory and grand opening celebration of the manifestation of the vision for The ROC at The Big House.  He gave me a prophetic WFJ (Word From Jesus) called: A Celebration Built On The Solid Rock of Jesus Christ. I will post it tomorrow on my blog “God Whispers”  at http://Abigail777.com

Father God, I thank you for your Son Jesus who died on the cross of Calvary to make a way for all of us who have fallen short of  Your glory.  Thank you for Your everlasting love and never ending  grace.  Thank you for never giving up on us and for never turning anyone away who comes to You and calls on Your name, Jesus.  I thank You for being the solid rock and foundation of our faith in our time of need and trouble.  We give you all the praise, honor and glory forever in Jesus name.  Amen.

“Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way before You.  The voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord; Make is paths straight.”  (Mark 1:2,3 ).

WFJ: Feed My Sheep And Prepare The Way of The Lord

Arise, My people, and go forth in resurrection power. The time is growing shorter and shorter before I come back and there is much work to be done.  Souls are in the balance and souls are what I am after.  I have always been about relationship and therefore my most precious resource is people.

My Word declares that the fields are ripe but the laborers are few.  I am sending out a clarion call for my children to WAKE UP but they are not listening well and obeying!  I am opening a window of unprecedented time for My gospel to be preached in areas that were not open before. I am creating a space in time for My people and My Word to go forth in resurrection power like never before!

The harvest truly is plentiful but the laborers are few.  Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest will send out laborers into His harvest.  (Mathew 9:37, 38).

TAKE HEED, MY CHILDREN!  TAKE HEED! The times are perilous and people are desperate and crying out for help because they are hopeless and don’t know where to turn.  Those of you who know Me as Lord and Savior, try to imagine what it would be like to go through life without Me.  You don’t know how you would do it.  You know that without Me it is hopeless because I am your strength and help in time of trouble.  I am your all in all in good times and bad.  Just try to imagine what it is like for those who don’t know Me.

This world has gone amuck precisely because it doesn’t know Me and has chosen to go its own way without the one who created life and gave it order.  I am a God of order and am calling My house into order.  I AM CALLING FOR ORDER IN THE HIGHEST COURT IN THE EARTH, THE HIGH COURT OF KING JESUS. My way and rule is supreme.  I have not come to take second place but first place in the heart of man.  I gave life and I expect loyalty, for I am a jealous God.

My Word says you shall have no other gods before you because I know how I designed My creation and if you serve something or someone other than Me it will not go well with you.  No one compares to Me because no one has My wisdom, grace, mercy or power to rule and keep things in perfect balance.  The kings and leaders of this world are hungry for power and control for selfish reasons and it certainly is not for the love of the people like I have.

The world hated Me when I walked this earth and they hate Me now because I came to conquer wickedness in man’s heart that is not filled with Me. It wants to go its own way without Me and (without) reverential fear of My Word and My Kingdom rule because it (My Word) opposes a deceitful heart that doesn’t recognize Me as supreme ruler of all.

Make no mistake – everyone will serve some master because someone has to be in charge.  That’s how I designed it.  Since I created this universe and everything in it that makes Me supreme and My intentions and plan for the earth and its inhabitants have always been benevolent and loving for there is no deceit or guile in Me.  I am pure of heart and rule in perfect righteousness.

There has been a battle for the souls of man ever since My highest angel Lucifer decided he wanted to take My place and go higher than the Most High God.  That was and still is and will ever be high treason.  It is the epitome of pride and arrogance to desire to take My place.  The creation was made to worship the Creator not itself.  The creation is not nor ever will be greater than its Creator.  That is a fatal error in judgment because it is flawed and sets oneself up for destruction.

This is the war that rages throughout the sands of time – the battle for souls.  Allegiance to Satan will lead to ultimate destruction and death and allegiance to Jehovah God will lead to abundant life, ultimate freedom and everlasting life.  To Me it is a no-brainer but the truth is that My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.  (Hose 4:6). Their eyes have been blinded by the wiles of the enemy of their souls.  That’s why I need My people to stand up and take authority over the enemy.

What I have called My people to do I have given them power and authority to do.  I am coming back sooner that you think and I expect all of My army of saints to take their positions and carry out their full commission to preach the gospel to the ends of the earth before I return.  Every man will give an accounting for what he has done with the life I have given him.

1. Are you ready for that day?
2. Have you done what I have asked?
3. Are you busy being occupied with the affairs of your Father’s Kingdom?
4. Do you want to hear the words from your King, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant?”  His lord said to him, “Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things.  Enter into the joy of your lord.”  (Mathew 25:21).
5. Are you staying close to My heart so I can instruct you and lead you by My Spirit?
6. Are you operating out of the love of Jesus?
7. Are you living by faith?
8. Are you quick to obey Me?
9. Are you seeing much fruit in your life?

All these questions can be boiled down to one simple overriding question:  DO YOU LOVE ME?

THEN FEED MY SHEEP, DEAR ONES, FOR I FED YOU AND BECAME YOUR GOOD SHEPHERD.  I AM ASKING YOU TO FEED MY SHEEP UNTIL I COME BACK FOR ALL OF YOU, TO TAKE YOU HOME TO DWELL IN MY PERFECT EVERLASTING PASTURE TO BE WITH ME IN GLORY.  HEAVEN IS REAL AND IT’S FOR YOU AND ALL THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN ME, BUT EVERYONE DOES NOT YET KNOW ABOUT ME.

I am a just God and I want all of My creation to know who I Am and what I have provided for them.  Someone blessed you and told you about Me and I am asking you to bless the world by doing your part to give them My Word so they will not be excluded from My eternal pasture and perfect care.  Afford others the greatest gift you received when you received Me.  It is not your responsibility what others decide to do with this gift.  It is your responsibility to extend it to others as I extended it to you through others. This is loving Me by loving My sheep and showing them the door to My pasture who is Jesus.  Will you do it for Me?

I bless you for heeding the call of your good Shepherd.  Make haste for I am coming quickly.  Do your part.  Keep your eyes on Me for I am coming back for My betrothed – that’s you! It won’t be long for the Wedding Supper of the Lamb.  Rejoice and prepare the way of the Lord! I am coming soon!  Rejoice!

Love in Jesus,

Prayer Power

Father God, I purpose in my heart to follow hard after you and to feed your sheep just as I was and am fed.  Strengthen and quicken Me by Your Spirit when I grow weary, or lazy.  Keep me from falling into temptation and from falling away from You.  Give me wisdom and discernment to see the snares, deception, and strategies of the evil one, in Jesus name I pray.  Amen.
