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,

Prayer Power

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

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

JESUS IS THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE

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

#WFJ: LIVE AND LET LIVE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Love in Jesus,

GRACE NOTES

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

PRAYER POWER

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

#WFJ: THOUGHTS AND WORDS FOR THE VICTORIOUS LIFE!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Love in Jesus,

GRACE NOTES

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things. (Phil 4:8).

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

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

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

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

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

PRAYER POWER

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Oct 8, 2010 – David Davenport prophesied to me:

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

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

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

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

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

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

“FEED MY SHEEP, DAUGHTER!”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I AM A FRIEND OF GOD!

Hear the song and drink in the images: Phillips, Craig & Dean – Friend of God

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

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

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

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

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

This is what He spoke to my spirit.

Father God, Help me to stay submitted and pliable as a lump of clay in your hands as You shape and mold my character to your liking.  Even when Your refiner’s fire gets too hot and the process seems too tough and never ending, give me the courage to stay the course until I reflect Your  glory in Jesus name.  Amen.

There is an impartation that brings healing and deliverance as well as the empowering of people to take Jesus to the streets. During his ministry there have been spontaneous Revivals break out that last 10 weeks or more.

IN THIS MEETING WE ARE FULLY PREPARED AND EXPECT TO LET GOD HAVE HIS WAY!

In my two-way journaling with the Lord, the day before the meeting, I wrote: Have your way in ME, and all those attending Bill Easter’s meetings.  Open the eyes of our understanding and hearts to receive ALL that you have for us, that we may burn with it and run with it, that You alone may be glorified!

This was the Word From Jesus I received:

#WFJ: REVIVAL FIRE!

My child, thank you for seeking My glory, understanding and revelation.   Eye has not seen nor ear heard what I have prepared for My children.

REVIVAL FIRE – MY FIRE, is being stirred up in the hearts of My people!  A furnace of prayer crying out to Me is setting things in motion. I hear the cries of desperation for My glory and I will answer.

I am burning out the dross in people’s hearts so nothing will stand in the way of the purity of My holy fire. Anything in My path will be burned away but it is the humility and diligent seeking after Me by faith that will bring My fire into a person’s heart, and they will be ignited and burn for Me.  My love in them will be like a raging inferno consuming those in My path.  I am a jealous God and I am coming for My bride – My spotless, blameless bride.

The stage is set for REVIVAL FIRE, the likes of which this world has never seen. People’s eyes and hearts will be opened and they will not be able to deny My uncompromising everlasting love.  People will come running into My Kingdom and My arms because My love burning brightly in My people, My bride, will be undeniable.

Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus alone for your King is coming and My glory will be unmistakably manifest in My sons and daughters in the earth.  And the world will know Me by My love burning in, through, around and over them.

Revival fire is now burning that ignites passions of glory, empowers visions and ushers in restoration – in 2010 ready or not! Home Page

People will come to see the manifest presence of My love burning in My holy temples, and the lost will say, “I WANT SOME OF THAT LOVE!” And you will open your heart and mouth and introduce them to Jesus, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and My love will consume them too.

My Kingdom will be multiplied and I will be glorified.  Thank you, My children, for receiving and sharing your true heart’s desire.

Love in Jesus,

Glorious God Almighty, we empty ourselves out and come diligently seeking YOU alone.  REVIVE our hearts, Father.  Burn away everything that is not of you.  Remove everything that hinders your perfect love and glorious manifest presence in each of our hearts so we may be “CARRIERS OF JESUS”  to a lost and dying world.  Set our hearts aflame, in Jesus name!  We thank You and give You all the glory.  Amen.

My child, My child, I am cradling you in My heart so you can focus on My love for you and the treasure of My heart and what I see and know.

“YOU ARE A TREASURE TO ME”

The truth is – you are a treasure to Me, as all My children are.  I know where you have been and what you have walked through and endured.

I am calling you to “Come Up Here” and sit with Me awhile and let all the things of this world grow dim as you behold Me and become transformed in My presence.

I have so much revelation to share with My own but the weights, distractions, and impurities of the world make it impossible for you to see.  Come and be washed clean and clear in My glory so you can be in position to receive the treasure of My revelation so you can take it down to earth to establish My Kingdom there.

The Kingdom of heaven is at hand.  It’s near.  It is in you and coming at the same time.  I am releasing secrets of the Kingdom from My heart but only those who have ears to hear and eyes to see what the King is saying will catch it.  My eyes are going to and fro for those whose hearts are sold out and faithful to Me.

In this world you have trials and tribulation.  The stress of worldly life separates My people from My perfect peace and love.  There is a way, My way, to be in, move and operate in this world supernaturally with the mind of Christ, even though you are not of this world.

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33).

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”   (John 14:27).

OPERATE IN THIS WORLD SUPERNATURALLY WITH THE MIND OF CHRIST

I want My people to open themselves up and get more acclimated to My glory realm where all things are possible with Me. This is what My people need to see with eyes of faith and lay hold of with their hearts so transformation can take place on earth.

STRESS is a DIS-EASE and separation from My perfect peace for I Am the Prince of Peace.  Lay aside stress and instead, LAY HOLD OF ME and the truth of all that I Am and desire to be in and through you.

Be My carriers of peace.  Carry Me to those around you in this world so they can be changed by My presence emanating from you.  I am the light of this world and I have called My people to be light bearers so people can find their way, which is Me.

I am the way, the truth and the life. Keep your focus on Me and you will be in the Spirit. Follow Me so others will follow also.  Shalom.

KEEP YOUR FOCUS ON JESUS AND NOT ON THE THINGS OF THIS WORLD

Day 27 of 30 Days to Breakthrough – Stress- The Insidious Kill

Lord, what do you specifically want to say to me about STRESS?

The first word I want to say is – DEADLY – because there is no life in it! When people are in stress they are not focused on Me and the truth I offer.

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”  (John 10:10).

That is why I say in My Word to meditate on My Word day and night.  In Me there is life everlasting and life flowing abundantly with My rivers of living water that flushes away stress.

Stress is grounded in FEAR, which drives a person away from faith in who I Am and what I am able to do in their lives.

FEAR BASED THINKING DRIVES YOU AWAY FROM FAITH IN GOD

When you wake up each day you have a choice which path you will take: FAITH or FEAR. If you trust Me you will take and walk on My path of faith which is loaded with perfect peace, joy, wisdom, direction, prosperity, abundant life, the fruit of the spirit, and all the things that pertain to life and godliness.

If you choose fear you have stepped into the enemy territory of Satan.  This gives him legal access to take you down his path that will steal, kill and destroy. His path leads to ungodliness and all kinds of temptations and diverse distractions, which all add up to and lead to stress and death.

The best thing to do to avoid stress is to make a quality decision about who you are going to serve: God or Satan.  Choose life in Christ. Then every time stress or dis-ease rises in your spirit man, stop and declare, “I serve the Lord God with all of my heart/spirit, soul, body and strength.  I resist you, Satan. In the name of Jesus, be gone!”

Ask Me for wisdom and expect to receive it liberally.  Then obey Me so it may go well with you.  Kick stress out of your life.  FEAR NOT and keep Me on the throne of your life!

Love in Jesus,

Father God, I choose life in Christ!  Help Me to walk in Your path of peace, righteousness and joy in the Holy Spirit.  I desire to put myself in position to see and receive more revelation from heaven and be transformed in the presence of Your glory.  In Jesus name I pray.  Amen.

Lord, What are we going to FOCUS on today?  What would please You?

STAY STEADY, My daughter.  The enemy would want to throw you off track through distractions of all kinds.  He also wants you to get in your thinking that the things I am prompting you to do and follow are not important or significant and won’t lead you anywhere.

STAY STEADY. Stay tuned to the prompting of My Holy Spirit.  I see the ‘BIG PICTURE,” and I am bringing in all the loose ends and seemingly disjointed pieces together to make a whole picture – a vision of where I am taking My people.

I am making in roads in the lives of My people personally and corporately. I am building a structure, a foundation that will handle My ways, My Word and principles that will transform the world and certainly those people in My people’s spheres of influence.

So count it all joy and not insignificant. Stay with Me and the unseen things will become manifest.  People will discern and begin to see My hand in the center of transformation in ALL arenas of everyday life. It will be unmistakably evident that only I – the mighty Jehovah God – could be responsible for these kind if results.

Trust Me.  Trust My hand moving and manifesting things even when you see no way it can happen in your thinking. I am too big to be contained by man’s thinking.  Give Me free reign and BELIEVE ONLY what is possible with Me at the center directing by My Holy Spirit.

Endure to the end with courage! Stay on task and keep your eyes on Me through the leading of your spirit by Mine.  Trust and obey and you will see the outcome I desire.  It’s better than what you can even imagine.  Be at peace.  I am with you.

#WFJ: Day 26 of 30 Days to Breakthrough – Supplementation, Not An Option

Lord, what do you specifically want to say to me about supplements?

You realize the importance of taking supplements because the American diet is lacking because, as stated, the soil is lacking vital nutrients required to grow healthy food..

There is a lot of confusion about what supplements to take and how much. It is good to educate yourself and read and be aware of what constitutes health and wellness.  I designed YOUR body and know it intimately.  Ask of Me the wisdom to guide you.

Are these the right supplements for me?

Ask Me when you take supplements if this is good for your body and make-up.  Let My Holy Spirit bear witness to your spirit whether to take something or not.  And when you read something you think sounds like a good idea, check with Me.  I Am the Great Physician.

I want to be intimately involved with your good health and wellness.  I wrote the owner’s manual to your body.  I should know.  Seek Me in all things so it will be well with you in spirit, soul and body.

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

My prescription for you is complete shalom – nothing missing, nothing broken. I am all about wholeness.  BE WHOLE in My perfect care!

“I am The Great Physician.  I am your prescription for wholeness.”
