“THE CALLING”

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

The Calling

by Nancy Slocum

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Love in Jesus,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A Word From Jesus

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

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

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

Love in Jesus,

My Prayer

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

This was His reply:

WFJ: An Encouraging Word From God the Father

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Your soon coming King

Love in Jesus,

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

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

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

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

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

GODLY WORDS

by Nancy E. Slocum

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Love in Jesus,

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

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

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

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

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

#WFJ: UNITY WITH THE FATHER BY PRAYER AND FASTING

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Love in Jesus,

Prayer Power

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

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,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

• “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.

#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.

I know a man who received those very words from his doctor and they hung over the hospital room like a death sentence! He had been diagnosed with one of the deadliest and fastest growing cancers known as Burkitt’s Lymphoma. I was told my friend, Brian Wills, and his family all stood in total shock and silence after the doctor left the room.

Brian’s mother, Myrtle Wills, a dear woman of strong Christian faith and a spiritual mother to me, told me she knew from that moment on that every word they spoke would be critical to Brian’s healing.

After the doctor left the hospital room Myrtle broke the silence with these words: “Let God be true and every man a liar. (Roman 3:4).

With one voice the family agreed and repeated God’s Word: “Let God be true and every man a liar.”

Brian’s mother then walked to the foot of the bed and made another strong declaration from the Word of God: “Brian, you will live and not die and declare the works of the Lord.  (Psalm 118:17).

I highly recommend that you get his brand new recently released first book,  10 Hours to Live, A True Story of Healing and Supernatural Healing by Brian Wills.

Go to: Amazon.com: 10 Hours to Live: A True Story of Healing and …

The book can be found at Barnes and Noble as well as Books A Million and other leading bookstores.

Read it and be changed by the healing power of Jesus Christ!

You don’t want to miss this rising “Bestseller!”

Read how one family dared to take a firm stand and take God at His Word until they saw the physical manifestation of Brian’s total healing!

Brian’s story will bless and encourage you as well and fill you with hope and teach you how to apply God’s Word for healing. His testimony has been featured on Kenneth Copeland’s Voice of Victory and Pat Robertson’s The 700 Club and in several well-known newspaper and tennis publications.

Brian and his wife Beth Wills are itinerant missionaries who carry a message of hope and healing to this generation.  Through their ministry, Healing For The Nations, Brian travels to many countries of the world and is seeing miraculous healings and other  amazing things  God is doing.

I was recently at a local bible study that Brian Wills teaches.  He was talking about how revelation is progressive. When Jesus knew He had total victory, then He could go to the cross.  His victories were incremental.  The first miracle Jesus performed was turning water into wine.  As He grew in wisdom and stature He worked up to performing greater miracles.  He didn’t start out raising Lazarus from the dead! 

One of the most profound things Brian said at our bible study was, “When will we see supernatural miracles?  We will see supernatural miracles when we know in our soul we have total dominion and sickness is under our feet!  We need to be more conscious of God than the enemy!”

Likewise with you and me, we have to grow and develop in faith.   Brian Wills is a man who knows firsthand about the healing power of Jesus Christ.  He wants to share his life-changing God story, 10 Hours to Live, with the world.  He firmly believes that what God did for him He will do for others because God is no respecter of persons!

Humbly, Brian will be the first to give God all the glory and honor for the love and the supernatural healing power of Jesus Christ he experienced.  He travels all over the world to share it with others.  Chances are you know someone who needs the message of this book.  Perhaps that person could be YOU!

Please be sure to spread the word and tell all your friends, family, church, neighbors, classmates, acquaintances, and co-workers.  I welcome any and all comments, testimonies and experiences you may have from reading this book.  I would love to pass them on to Brian!  Thank you.

Most gracious heavenly Father, Thank you for sending Your dear Son, Jesus the Christ (the Anointed One and His anointing) to come and die on a cross that whosoever believes in Him may freely have eternal life.  Thank You that Jesus is The Healer and it is His will that we be made whole and set free.  I come boldly before Your throne of grace and ask You to supernaturally touch and minister to everyone who comes in contact with Brian’s God story, 10 Hours to Live, in Jesus name.  We thank You and give You all praise, glory and honor.  Amen.

You are coming into a new season of wellness and order. I am bringing you to a higher level.  I want you to keep your eyes on Me.  Trust My love for you!  I am having you to go deeper into the power and force of My love because I Am LOVE and My love is a force for good.

LOVE IS THE KEY TO EVERYTHING. Love is at the center of everything I do because I Am the center of all life.  Keep your eyes and your intentions on the power of My love because that is how faith works – by love.  I Am LOVE and faith works because of My love in you.

Let your faith respond to Me and My love in you and you will see My results.  They are God-sized.

IF YOU GET ANYTHING – GET ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN LOVE – IN ME, – AND YOU WILL BE AMAZED AT THE RESULTS.

The God kind of love, not human love, will uproot and flush out fear and nothing will stop your faith from bearing the fruit I planned for you all along.

So keep your focus on Me and the force of love and we will walk in covenant relationhip and co-create great and mighty things.  I blessed you with love so you could bless others and bring transformation to the world.

#WFJ: Day 22 of 30 Days to Breakthrough – Part Two of Overview of Wellness

Lord you asked me to ask You what wellness means.  Show me where I stand regarding wellness.  Help me formulate a plan to achieve and maintain wellness.

We have already tapped into wellness.  It has to do with Me, faith and love. I HAVE FAITH BUT I AM LOVE.

I created you in My image and likeness.  I designed you to operate like Me – by faith and your faith works by love.  When you put Me and My plan at the center of your heart your life will go well.  You will walk in wellness and wholeness because that is My good plan for you.

I am a God of wholeness. It is well with you when you are whole.  That is My abundant life and shalom for you where nothing is missing or broken.  That’s what shalom means.

I want the world to get John 3:16 down into their heart.  That’s why I came.

“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).

Just as it was spoken (on Visions777 12 Week 24 Webinars Vision Casting Series  For The Decade) on the inaugural webinar: “God’s Vision for Renewing Your Mind: What you believe will drive your actions.

If you desire wellness in your life you must believe that I am a good God of love and that I love you.  I created you for intimate relationship with Me and your fellow man.  I created you out of love and for love.  I want you to know that you are loved with an unfailing love and you are to love yourself and others with My love.  This leads to wellness and wholeness in every area of your life.

I created you for good works and to enjoy this life I gave you.  I have a plan and purpose for you.  When you walk in love and in communion with Me I will help you flesh out all the details that make you well in spirit, soul, body, finances and relationships. That comprises all of life.

Do life with Me, My way.  That is – by faith which works by love. Taste and see that the Lord is good.  (Psalm 34:8).

3 John 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers.

All of life and wellness boils down to the two greatest commandments in Mark 22: 37-40:

Jesus replied: ” Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.  All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

When you live like this it WILL BE WELL WITH YOUR SOUL, JUST LIKE I SAID IT WOULD BE!

Love in Jesus,
