Paradigm Shift Ahead

For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.
2 Corinthians 4:6-7

God is going to take His people through a paradigm shift. To better understand this let's look at the word paradigm. It is a fundamental change in approach or underlying assumptions about how we do church or live as believers. Shift means to change course of direction or move from one place to another. God is going to change our direction and move us to a higher level of operation by changing our approach and fundamental mindsets. For years people have been talking about getting rid of the old wine skin. It's sounds really spiritual but what does this really mean? It means simply that God is going to remove the old mindsets, traditions of men, and religious methods that are quenching God's power. He is going to do this so He can pour in fresh revelations of who He is and new ways of approaching the world around us. 

We can not remain stuck in the old and expect to reach this generation. We must come out of our old season to embrace the full potential of who we are in Him. Quoting scriptures about it and just talking about it will not be enough. We have to start walking into new levels of God's power and not be threatened or jealous of those who are doing it. Don't be afraid of what you don't understand. Seek the counsel of the Holy Spirit and don't let fear keep you from all that God has. Also, remember that God wants to do this for one reason and one reason only...Harvest!

One Heart One Mind

The Lord showed me that the church will cease to operate as individual operations and become one net. Each revival hub will become part of a network that will work together for end-time harvest. No longer will churches have the mindset "this is my ministry" but they will come into a kingdom mindset that works together as one body for the same purpose. The early church walked in this revelation and that's what made them so effective. The bible shows us the secret to their successful God fearing relationships, "Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common." Acts 4:32 This is where the Holy Spirit is taking us. Becoming one heart and one soul. This will only be accomplished as we start walking into deeper revelations of God's unconditional love. As we yield to this dying process of self, more glory will be given to God. Get ready because Saul's kingdom is about ready to be given over to David! The Solomons will build the kingdom with wisdom causing the wealth transfer we have all talked about. God is about ready to shift the kingdom and hand it over to those who are after His own heart. He has prepared his David's in the back desert of adversity, and baptized them in fire. They survived the javelin of Saul, refused to lift up their swords (mouths) against him, and have learned to have a shepherds heart. God will soon put these Davids into power as God restores order to His Kingdom.

Position For Possession

I got this word for someone else but felt that there was a few more that need to hear this. You may feel that you keep missing God in your life and may even feel like you are being left out of what God is doing. I heard the Lord say, you must position yourself to catch the wave of My Presence. If you are not laying on the two boards and three nails; you will not catch the wave of blessing and breakthrough. In this next season listening to the Holy Spirit and being sensitive to His moving (like the water beneath a surfer) will be vital in catching the wave of revival that is upon us. God is requiring more consecration and obedience especially from the gatekeepers. You will not be able to get away with the things from the last season. Your obedience will determine your level. Your passion will determine the amount of fire in your life. Position yourself for possession. The wave of revival is for those who will stay on their boards!

Entering The Apostolic Era

I hear the Lord say,
You are entering an apostolic era. An age of commissioning and positioning for harvest. A time of love, and power being demonstrated. I am about to end the hunger strike says the Lord, and my little ones will not have to feed off of dead revelation anymore. They will not have to beg for bread or eat off the crumbs off someone else's table. They will eat of the children's bread. They will sit on my lap, and I will show them the mysteries of the unseen realm.

Just like in the times of Samson I am going to tie people together, and let them run in the harvest fields lit on fire! It will be a wild fire that can not be put out. My wind has cleansed, and now it will help spread the fire.  The fire will burn down dead doctrine, edifices, and agendas of men. It will burn down the barriers, segregation, and denominations that have brought separation.

Love will start being expressed outside of our own "churches" and "groups." A wider realization of kingdom principles will be released into the earth. People who see Jesus walk by, will cry out and be answered. The blind will see, the lame will walk and deaf will hear. Not only in the natural but in the spirit too! The church is going to come out of their prayer closet, and be unveiled before this world. The light of my glory will blind the hypocrites, and religious but those who seek me will find their way home. They will finally find rest in My heart.

Prophetic Vision: God's Blue Print

There is always a temptation to become discouraged in life if we lose perspective and vision. The little things we do can seem very insignificant and mundane. That's why its so important to have prophetic vision and divine foresight so we don't lose hope and become weary in well doing. Paul told Timothy to war according to the prophecies that had gone before Him. Follow the divine blueprint! What if Michael Angelo did not have vision for what he began? He would not have finished. However, brushstroke by brushstroke the world began to see what he already saw; the many masterpieces created through artistic vision. This also applies to prophetic vision and revelation. It is a blueprint for divine construction. Have you ever marveled when crossing over the Golden Gate Bridge? How can something so huge could stretch across so far, and be so high up! Then we exclaim "What a beautiful bridge!" We don't say what a beautiful bolt, or what a beautiful beam, and what a great cable. Not one of those things are of little importance, and to remove one could be detrimental, if not disastrous! Many times we only see the whole picture after it is finished. God sees us after we are finished! When he said, "It is finished!" He was not only declaring that he had finished fulfilling all the requirements of the law but he was also seeing us completed in Him.

Looking unto Jesus, the author and finsiher of our faith! Hebrews 12:2 

The Apostle Paul also understood the importance of the heavenly vision God gave him, and he did not deviate from it but built according to it. He laid a foundation for others to follow him as he followed Christ. Could you imagine the confusion on a construction site if everyone did the same job or if others tried to do a job they were not trained for? Nothing would ever get done! Yet we show up to church week after week and expect the Pastor to run the whole construction site or we do jobs we were never called to do. It is essential in this season to understand our job position and fill it! We need to stop sitting on the pew expecting others to do our work for us. Throwing a tip in the offering bucket every week does not absolve us from doing our job.

God's church was never meant to be just an academic setting where all we ever do is learn, and do nothing with it to change the world! Together we are to be bridge builders to our families, to our community and to all the world. To seek and to save that which is lost. No job is too small in The Kingdom Of God. We must take our place and run our race. As we do, the world will begin to see what is in God's blueprint from the foundation of the world. They will see Him in the blue print as they see the manifestation of The Sons Of God!!!!!!!

The Next Move of God: Unconditional Love

The next move of God will be spear headed by the unconditional love of God.  Love will define God's remnant as they move into new levels of power and demonstration.  Many of them are in a metamorphosis state as they struggle to get free from the old wine skin and break free from the system. I will visit these faithful warriors and start to reveal their true identity in me.  Many have struggled with their identity because it was difficult to accept who I made them to be. 

In the last season they were put into Saul's armor and wrongfully categorized.  It shall be that I will rebuild my church from the foundation to the roof.  I will put in order my living stones and place them in correctly.  I will change the governmental order of my church and bring back the fear of the Lord.  Greater authority will I give those who were faithful to me in the last season.  Those suffering from an identity crisis will know their place in me.  I am going to tear down and pluck up a system that was built on wrong motives, message and methods.  This must take place so that my kingdom can run effectively and so that my people can have a mighty outpouring of My presence.  

It will not be like times past.  I will spread my fire from one individual to another as I destroy the biggest identity crisis ever known to mankind...it is not knowing my unconditional love, not knowing who they are in me and not knowing what I called them to do.  These three things will come to the forefront of every conversation as I start to fix this problem.  The struggle in the old wine skin will end and my people will take flight.  They will once again start to pollinate the children of this world with my love and truth.  They will fill my baskets with fruit.  They will bring the fruit of their labors in the fields, as they bring many sons and daughters into my kingdom.

Purpose of Prophetic Ministry

What is the prophetic? It is hearing the heart of God and 

speaking it to His people. Not only speaking His heart but 

displaying His love. Love always includes discipline, correction and guidance. 

But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men. (1 Corinthians 14:3) 

Exhortation: Means to advise strongly.
Edification: Is to instruct morally or spiritually.
Comfort: To cause someone to feel less worried and fearful; to cheer up. 

The prophetic ministry provides a blue print for destiny. It is not meant  to give step by step instructions for everyday life. That's the job of the Holy Spirit.  God does not want us to become dependent on the direction or guidance of a prophet or teacher. The Holy Spirit is our guide and teacher. Jesus said, "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me." Learn to hear his voice and you will not be led astray.

The prophetic ministry is one of the five-fold ministry gifts therefore:

And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, 13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, 15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ 16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.
(Ephesians 4:11-16)

The job of the prophet is to equip the saints for ministry. That means that they are to give you the tools to do the ministry of Jesus Christ. Not to set themselves into a ministry where they are served and put on a pedestal. Their job is to instruct the church morally and spiritually. They are to lay the foundations or the basic building blocks of godly living. They should be instruments of unity and biblical teaching. Prophets should teach you to hear the voice of God for yourself so you won't be deceived by every wind of doctrine. Like all the other five-fold ministry gifts their main mission is for the whole body to work together effectively, causing growth and maturity in every believer.

I've heard people make excuses for themselves by saying that prophets are loners and often misunderstood. This is error. Jesus operated in all the five-fold ministry offices and he walked in love. He didn't come under a persecution complex and acted like the whole world was against him. I agree that God has given prophets a certain type of disposition but it is no excuse to go around from church to church picking fights then saying everyone is persecuting you. The prophetic office is not the ministry of fault finding. You will not find this in the bible. Prophets did bring correction but it was to bring people to repentance and reconciliation with God. Remember God was not happy with Jonah because he would have rather seen his enemies at Nineveh judged by God rather than turn to God. There are many people with a Jonah heart. They delight in the judgment of God rather than in His mercy. 

Another kind of prophet to stay away from is the Balaam prophet. They are prophets for profit. Stay away from prophets that act like they are God's gift to mankind, or merchandise the anointing on their lives. This makes them false prophets. They may prophesy accurately but in their hearts they are driven by lust and greed. The bible says, "Woe to them! For they have gone in the way of Cain, have run greedily in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished in the rebellion of Korah." Jude 1:11 Balaam was an Old Testament prophet who was approached by a King to curse the people of God. Balaam finally gave in to the temptation to make money and caused the people of God to be cursed by stumbling them into sin. Now or days we have prophets who stumble God's people into sin by teaching them lawless behavior. Sometimes it is difficult to discern a false prophet because they prophesy accurately but check their fruit. 

Watch for prophets who are imbalanced. They will either come off extremely judgmental, always criticizing, proclaiming doom and gloom or...they will flatter you with words, giving you directional words that influence you to follow them, filling your head with their own vision so they can fill up their pocket books. Both camps will prophesy to impress you so you will put them on a pedestal. False prophets aren't necessarily false because their words are incorrect. They are false prophets because their motives are wrong and their attitudes don't reflect Christ. They use God's gift to manipulate others or gain control over people's lives. They will use their gift to make money off of you or for popularity. They are not interested in lifting you up so you can grow in God. They want you to lift themselves up so they can grow their personal kingdom. A prophet who seeks to control and manipulate others by using intimidating words or by cursing them with destruction is not from God. The Holy Spirit persuades but intimidation is not from God. Conviction causes people to repent unto salvation. This is different from intimidation because it causes people to blindly obey the prophet instead of God. 

If you feel beaten up after you hear the prophet speak then they are not using all three aspects of their ministry: Edification, Exhortation and Comfort. Spend some time and study the prophets in the Bible. Yes, they told people to repent but they also provided comfort to people. Look at this beautiful statement by the prophet Isaiah and Joel.

“Come now, and let us reason together,
Says the Lord,
Though your sins are like scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.
19 If you are willing and obedient,
You shall eat the good of the land;
20 But if you refuse and rebel,
You shall be devoured by the sword;
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken." (Isaiah 1:1-20)

"So rend your heart, and not your garments; Return to the Lord your God, For He is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness; And He relents from doing harm." (Joel 2:13)

As you can see all aspects of God's heart are present in their prophecies. A call to repentance, God's willingness to reconcile, reward or consequence depending on the response. These prophetic words are balanced. They are not flattering people. They are giving God's people an opportunity to change their hearts. Please read the book of Jonah. It is not just about a man who got swallowed by a fish. It is about a God who is always willing to relent from His anger. Jonah knew this and that's why he fled from the call to preach repentance to his enemies in Nineveh. 

So he prayed to the Lord, and said, “Ah, Lord, was not this what I said when I was still in my country? Therefore I fled previously to Tarshish; for I know that You are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, One who relents from doing harm." (Jonah 4:2)

Lastly, beware of those who make a point of making sure that everyone knows their title or position in the body. They will hand you their card with their title and make sure to let everyone know that they are a prophet or apostle. That is an indicator that they either desire the accolades of men or they are not secure in who they are. If you are a prophet everyone will know it. God's anointing and fruit will make evident who they are. The fruit of a prophet's life will be evident by love, power and a consecrated life. This was the life of Jesus and it will be the fruit of all who follow Him. 

Prophecy: Revival and Breakthrough 2014

Last night at the meeting I went down under the power of God. Johann laid hands on me and said, "Download!" Here is what God is speaking to His Church.


Three Keys for revival and breakthrough in 2014:

1. Unity - You will not be able to do your tasks alone. God will start honoring those who go out of their way to work with others. He is going to anoint five fold ministers who come into unity and release greater power! There He will command the blessing. Psalm 133 Learn to work as teams during church meetings and evangelistic outreaches. God is emphasizing 555 the trinity of five-fold. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit moving through His Apostles, Prophets, Teachers, Pastors and Evangelists. He will be shifting His attention on Evangelists who are sold out. Work with the Evangelist, Pastor. God will start exalting the people who the church has ignored. The street ministers, missionaries and evangelists will now be called forward to lead the way.

2. Harvest - Those who make it their goal and start working in the harvest fields will see a blessing. Harvest fields meaning: Prisons, Hospitals, Streets, Homeless Shelters, Convalescent Hospitals, Mission Fields and wherever there is souls! Church if you want to see revival you will have to leave the four walls. Go to the park, get a tent, get a storefront in the middle of the city. Go where they are. God's Spirit will pour into those who will pour out. Stop waiting for them to come to you. I see mass baptisms taking place outdoors in rivers, oceans and in places that you would not think of using. Get ready for the Johns will arise in this hour and be calling out for people to repent in the River Jordan again!

3. Revival - is not an event! It is the fire of God resting on people whose hearts are transformed by God's presence. People are so used to thinking that it is about an event that when the event is over they go back to the norm. NO! Revival is about your heart being revived unto God. That may happen at a meeting but...fire is maintained in His Presence. If you think that watching your favorite preacher on TV is going to maintain a fire then you are wrong. If you think that you can survive on a 10 min daily devotional and singing to some watered down Christian song on the radio then you are wrong. Revival = fire! You will be ember that will grow cold if you stay out of fellowship with others that are burning. The church has grown cold because there is no altars to burn on. When we are asking God to send revival we are asking God to send fire. Fire consumes friend. God's fire will not rest on an altar that does not have a living sacrifice. Fire will not rest on those who are filled with idolatry. Fire will not rest on those whose hearts are not pure. A guest speaker will never give you fire. You can only get fire when you become His altar. Get rid of the distractions and start to seek God. He is waiting to reveal His Fire Walkers! Lord make us willing to burn for you!

Dead Flies In The Ointment

Have you ever left a sweet drink or water unattended and right before you were about to take a drink, you noticed a dead fly in it? The thought is quite repulsive to even think about. Yet this morning I clearly heard the Lord say, "There is dead fly in the ointment." As I heard this, I had a vision of a dead fly floating on top of oil, not just any oil but anointing oil. Curious, I looked up the scripture because it came to my memory. "Dead flies putrefy the perfumer’s ointment, And cause it to give off a foul odor; So does a little folly to one respected for wisdom and honor." (Ecclesiastes 10:1)

So what is God saying? Are you able to pick out the flies or discern what is not true or part of the anointing? Can you tell the counterfeit from the real? Can you discern what is coming from the soul of man or from the heart of God? For I forewarn you that there will come false brethren among you and those who proclaim to know Christ. There will be those who will be sent among you who are been given the ability to deceive by the realm of darkness. Even now the anti-Christ spirit is operating in the highest levels of office in this nation but some have not been able to discern it. The anti-Christ spirit has been released in the media and has been infecting all those who sit under its influence. Spirits of perversion and lust permeate the air waves. This is why the music must get turned off. The TV must get turned off. The air waves are carrying seductive spiritual activity and you must be able to discern it. The anti-Christ spirit is the way of Cain and it seeks to murder righteous Abel. It was present in Jesus day and it is now increasing in our day. Righteousness and good fruit will be persecuted. They will call good, evil and evil, good. Cain murdered Abel because his works were not approved by God. 

Religion and the anti-Christ spirit are not very different. That is why they work well together. Religion and politics seek control. They lust after power and money. It was the religious who sought after Jesus' death and they used politics to achieve their goals. Even now there some among us who pose as sheep but are ravenous wolves. They use religion as a means to make you think they are part of us but are only using God as a means for their own agendas. Don't be fooled. The Germans were fooled by Hitler. He promised them a "Positive Christianity" and ended up murdering those who elected him. Hitler did not initially remove "Christianity" from Germany. He modified it. He changed the way people perceived Jesus. He incorporated religion as a means to deceive the masses. They were not able to pick out the flies out of the ointment.

What are these flies you may ask? It self interest, greed, control, popularity, conceit and lust after worldly pleasures disguised behind Christian platitudes. Many don't realize what they have been sitting under has been tainted. The ointment is tainted by attitudes and motivations that do not come from Jesus' heart. It may look good on the surface but does it sound like something Jesus would say? Do the messengers look anything like Jesus? Does their lifestyle contradict the way Jesus lived? Did Jesus conduct His ministry like they do? Some would dismiss His teachings as "old fashioned" or not relevant, offering you liberty from His commandments. I ask you which one of His commandments should we disobey? Thou shalt not murder or thou shalt not lust in your heart after a woman? 

For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. (Galatians 5:13)

This is why the message of the cross is offensive to those who pretend they are His. It crucifies the nature of men and their selfish motivation. It calls us to serve and not be served. It exposes the flies in the ointment. It uncovers the heart and leaves no room for excuses. The truth of God's unchangeable word confronts the deceitful nature of men. The Holy Spirit takes us into the courtroom of God and convicts us of our deeds declaring them unfit for His kingdom. There He judges the true intention of our hearts. It is there that we drop the act and pretense we have put up in front of others. If we were truly to feel the Holy Spirit's conviction again in church we would be on our knees weeping for the many offenses and hurts we have caused God's heart. However, God's people have sat comfortable in the church without any thought of their lives. They have declared themselves not guilty in the courtroom of God without full examination of their lives in the light of God's Word and conviction of the Holy Spirit. They run from place to place trying to appease the emptiness they feel with conference and motivational speakers. They say God's not angry with us anymore! How would they know, did they ask Him or did they judge their actions by what someone else has said in a book? 

They silenced the voice of the Holy Spirit and made up presumptuous reasons why they live the way they do. They have taken up His job and have decided what is right and wrong. They have become the law givers and judges!

Oh the cross, can only be carried by those who willingly submit to the only lawgiver, judge and justifier of what is good. The cross calls all of humanity to put away all selfish desire and have love dictate the hearts of those who carry it. It sees the faces of all those who say crucify, one day shouting hosanna! It pushes past the crowds, to one objective... to bring others to God's glorious presence! However, it does not paint a pretty picture for those being called to carry it. That would be deception. No friends, the cross must be presented with its rugged wood, splinters and heavy beams. That's how Jesus presented it to His disciples. Never did He mention the ease of following Him. Never did He motivate the crowds with splendor, fame or fortune. Far from that my friend. Instead He challenged them by saying, "Will you leave me too?" He healed the masses not in effort for a campaign to build His own personal empire here on earth. He simply did so out of love. He held unto nothing and so the devil had nothing in Him. Do you know why the devil could take Jesus to the wilderness, then to a high mountain, offer him everything in the world and Jesus was still able to refuse all temptation? Jesus had already resolved that this world was not as important as you and me. The cross is about valuing relationships over things. The cross is a value decision. It is putting God and mankind over self! It is a declaration of triumph over the Adamic nature! The cross is love's greatest victory! Outside of the cross we can never hold onto victory. That is why we must embrace it on a daily basis. Beware of those who offer you a shortcut or a detour from the cross. They will from every side cry save yourself and come down from that cross. It was a thief that shouted that to Jesus. It is a thief (Devil) that shouts that today through books, CD's and even the pulpits of America. He knows that dying to self brings resurrection and victory. Satan dreads the day Christians once again find the true power behind Christianity ~ The Cross.

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. Revelations 12:11

Song "The Old Rugged Cross"

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suffering and shame;
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.

Refrain

So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.

O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary.

Refrain

In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see,
For ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me.

Refrain

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He’ll call me some day to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I’ll share.

Refrain

George Bennard 1913

How to Hear the Voice of God

First let me clear this up. It is a God given birth right to hear the voice of God. If you have been born again or birthed into the kingdom of God through His Spirit you should be able to hear His voice. "And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” (John 10:4-5)

There two things I would like to point out about this scripture. First, that when we come under the leadership of our shepherd we hear His voice. Secondly, we should be able to distinguish the voice of a stranger. In my house, my husband developed a special whistle that the children can hear in a crowd. When they hear it they come to him because it is a distinguished call. The voice of God also has a distinguished sound and we will cover that later but first let's go over some important facts. God has always spoken to humanity. God will even speak to people who don't know Him like He did to Abraham. Remember Abraham didn't know who God was until He spoke to him calling him out of his country and declaring his destiny! 

God spoke to Moses through a burning bush giving him a mandate to return to his people to deliver them out of slavery. God spoke to Joshua giving him strategic commands to take territories for His God. He spoke to Joseph in a dream, and though it took many years to fulfill what God had spoken, he held on to the promises of God. He spoke to Gideon though he was hiding and gave him the courage to take his nation back from foreign invasion. He spoke to Deborah and gave her the wisdom to counsel her nation. That was the Old Testament. Aren't we under a better covenant?  

But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.  (Hebrews 9:6)

I find it interesting that we always claim to have a relationship with God yet we find it hard to believe He will speak to us. How is it possible to have a relationship with anyone and not talk to them? I want to challenge you to make friends and not talk to them. They will not be your friends for very long! I want you to know that Jesus considers you a friend, if you have given your heart and life to Him. 

"No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you." (John 15:15) 

Jesus is letting us know that we have access because of relationship therefore, we can hear the voice of God. I know some of you might be worried that you might be listening to the wrong voice but Jesus said, "However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come." (John 16:13) The Holy Spirit is in charge of making sure you don't get off track. As long as your heart does not get filled with pride you will not get deceived.

Now, I will say that it does take practice to distinguish God's voice from your own thoughts and the devil's. The place that God speaks the most is to your thoughts. This can become a problem if you have a very active thought life competing with God. Having control over your thoughts will be the most important task you will have to learn as a Christian. This task involves learning to "cast down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:5) 

Primarily you will have to become somewhat of tennis player. A thought comes into your mind that is lustful in nature you will have to hit that thought back to where it came from. Perhaps you start going over something that made you angry then you need to hit that back where it came from. Perhaps you are busy planning your day and God wants to interrupt you then you will have to learn to set aside your thoughts for His.

The devil's primary objective in this whole subject is to keep you distracted. Tragically, he has succeeded in many ways through media and entertainment. Most of the time, you will see people with headphones in their ears unable to hear you. If they can't hear you they won't hear God because their minds are not on Him. I heard this from a Pastor and it is true. Leave a man alone in a quiet place and he will hear God. I noticed that in my life God likes to speak to me as soon as I wake up. If I get too busy He will interrupt my sleep or give me a dream. Let us always make time for our friend so can instruct us.

Here is a good exercise if you are truly wanting to hear God. Get alone with a notepad and write down the thoughts that come to your mind. Make three columns. List them as my voice, God's voice and the devil's voice. Your voice is normally filled with ideas, plans and opinions. God's voice is more like a gentle nudge, revealing the heart, the past, present and future. The devil's voice is tempting, trying to instill fear, doubt and distraction. Use the Word of God to filter these voices. Think about how God has spoken to his people throughout the ages. The devil uses the same tactics. "Did God say?" His main goal is to try to get you to second guess what God is saying to you and what the Word of God says. 

Another thing you can do is to practice keeping your thoughts quiet so God can speak. You must rid yourself of all opinions, bias, judgments on any matter or person. When someone is standing in front of me, my main objective is to turn off my thoughts or opinions on what I think may be happening in that person's life. There is nothing worse than getting a word from someone and it is mixed in with their own soul. That means they allowed their own opinions to mix in with what God wanted to say. OK, that is more advanced and will have to be covered later. Quieting your mind will be your greatest challenge. However, the greatest reward will to be hear God accurately! Learn to practice being in God's presence, being quiet and listening. We do far too much talking and not enough listening. Let us learn to wait in expectant faith to hear what He will say. He is always wanting to speak to us.

Victory In Adversity

There was a time when I was experiencing true hardship and somehow I felt like I was less than a Christian in my adversity. I felt shame that I was going through so much tribulation and trials. I felt as if God was punishing me or if I had done something wrong. These thoughts are all lies from the enemy! Depending on your view of God the wilderness can be a place of victory or misery. One day a brother came up to me inspired by God and said, "The wilderness is where God performed the most miracles!" Indeed. The wilderness doesn't have to a place of defeat. It is a place of training for reigning. Even though Jesus was tempted in his wilderness He left that place in power. In times of resistance that's when we build spiritual muscle. The key is what we do with our tongue. Do we declare what is written or do we complain. Do we stand in faith or wallow in self pity and doubt.

Satan, always tries to short circuit the process of dying to self. He offered Jesus everything before he went to that cross. It won't be any different for us. The greatest temptation of mankind is to take the easy way out. In the garden, Satan got Eve to question God's word. In the wilderness Satan tempted Jesus to doubt His own identity. "If you are the Son of God..." However, if you know who you are, there isn't anything the devil can offer you that don't already have. The devil always tries to deceive us into forfeiting what we already have. Yes, read that statement again. The devil always tries to deceive you into forfeiting what you already have by offering you a counterfeit. What are the counterfeits you may ask?

  The counterfeit of peace is self assurance. Self assurance is trusting in your own ability, strength and finances.
  The counterfeit for love is lust. Lust drives people to take from others. It only wants to satisfy itself at someone's else's expense. Love wants to give and sacrifice to meet a need.
  The counterfeit for faith is fear. Fear is relied upon like an old friend because it has shown people how to act out of instinct and desperation instead of God led revelation. We walk by faith and not by what we see in the natural.
  The counterfeit for righteousness is religion. Men trying to obtain God's favor and love by doing good works. However, righteousness is the position that every son and daughter have before their Father. It is our simple child-like trust in Jesus' sacrifice that causes us to come boldly before the throne of grace. If we could be good enough outside of the blood sacrifice Jesus' death would have been pointless.
  The counterfeit for joy is happiness. Happiness is based on circumstances and joy is a fruit of God's spirit that does not waver in the storms of life. It wells up from deep within our spirit when we praise God.

Our surrendered life is in good hands we don't have to take the devil's counterfeit offers. I want to encourage you that just because you are going through things doesn't change who you are in Christ. Jesus dying on the cross did not make Him less of a Son of God and it doesn't make you less than a child of God. The cross positioned Jesus for the greatest victory known to mankind. If we can understand that then we will never despair again when we are standing there facing our cross or mountain. We are given an opportunity everyday to forgive those who have hurt us while we hang on our cross of tribulation and circumstances. Raise up your hands and thank God that the devil only pushes us into the will of God.

Look at the life of Joseph. He was pushed into a pit, sold into slavery, thrown into prison and raised up a prince in a palace. Paul was taken from place to place appealing his innocence while persecuted, thrown into prison and inspired to write the churches the revelations he received and because of that we have our New Testament. Their cross became their victory and ours! Our tendency is to feel like God is mad at us or that he loves us less when we are going through things. Our circumstances cannot separate us from the love of God and neither do they define who we are. We are not defined by our past, our present, our background, or even an event. We are only defined by who God made us to be. We were made to be over comers! God uses what has been intended to be our defeat, makes it our victory and defining moment. In the fires of adversity he refashions us for His purposes. Then stands back in admiration and says, "It is good!" I will further illustrate this by the following story of the Three Trees.

The following story was e-mailed to me. I read it to the women in Chino Women's Prison on September 14, 2013. They were wrecked when I was through reading it. Enjoy!

The Three Trees

Once there were three trees on a hill in the woods. They were discussing their hopes and dreams when the first tree said, 'Someday I hope to be a treasure chest. I could be filled with gold, silver and precious gems. I could be decorated with intricate carving and everyone would see the beauty.'

Then the second tree said, 'Someday I will be a mighty ship. I will take Kings and queens across the waters and sail to the corners of the world. Everyone will feel safe in me because of the strength of my hull.'

Finally the third tree said, 'I want to grow to be the tallest and straightest Tree in the forest. People will see me on top of the hill and look up to my branches, and think of the heavens and God and how close to them I am reaching. I will be the greatest tree of all time and people will always remember me.'

After a few years of praying that their dreams would come true, a group of woodsmen came upon the trees. When one came to the first tree he said, 'This looks like a strong tree, I think I should be able to sell the wood to a carpenter, 'and he began cutting it down. The tree was happy, because he knew that the carpenter would make him into a treasure chest.

At the second tree the woodsman said, 'This looks like a strong tree. I should be able to sell it to the shipyard.' The second tree was happy Because he knew he was on his way to becoming a mighty ship.

When the woodsmen came upon the third tree, the tree was frightened because he knew that if they cut him down his dreams would not come true. One of the woodsmen said, 'I don't need anything special from my tree, I'll take this one,' and he cut it down.

When the first tree arrived at the carpenters, he was made into a feed box for animals. He was then placed in a barn and filled with hay. This was not at all what he had prayed for.

The second tree was cut and made into a small fishing boat. His dreams of being a mighty ship and carrying kings had come to an end.

The third tree was cut into large pieces, and left alone in the dark.

The years went by, and the trees forgot about their dreams.

Then one day, a man and woman came to the barn. She gave birth and they placed the baby in the hay in the feed box that was made from the first tree. The man wished that he could have made a crib for the baby, but this manger would have to do. The tree could feel the importance of this event and knew that it had held the greatest treasure of all time.

Years later, a group of men got in the fishing boat made from the second tree. One of them was tired and went to sleep. While they were out on the water, a great storm arose and the tree didn't think it was strong enough to keep the men safe. The men woke the sleeping man, and He stood and said 'Peace' and the storm stopped. At this time, the tree knew that it had carried the King of Kings in its boat.

Finally, someone came and got the third tree. It was carried through the streets as the people mocked the man who was carrying it. When they came to a stop, the man was nailed to the tree and raised in the air to die at the top of a hill. When Sunday came, the tree came to realize that it was strong enough to stand at the top of the hill and be as close to God as was possible, because Jesus had been crucified on it.

The moral of this story is that when things don't seem to be going your way, always know that God has a plan for you. If you place your trust in Him, God will give you great gifts.

Each of the trees got what they wanted, just not in the way they had imagined.

We don't always know what God's plan are for us. We just know that His Ways are not our ways, but His ways are always best.

Please keep this moving... Pass it on, so God may inspire more people on The Way.

May your day be blessed. And until we meet again, may God cradle you in the palm of His hand.

God is not a Republican

Before you get offended let me explain why God is not a Republican. First of all, God is not into capitalism which is the main mindset behind the Republican platform. Capitalism is based on the idea that each individual should take care of their own lives in a free market society without the interference of government. Not a problem. However, Capitalism also sends the message that the poor must fend for themselves and only the strongest survive. The common idea among most of the rich is that they have no responsibility towards the poor and shouldn't help them because for most part they must be lazy if they are poor. I hear this a lot even from Christians. While that might be a pervasive cultural thought it is not way God thinks.  The truth is many single mom's struggle to make ends meet every month while fathers go on living their life absent from their children's lives. A whole generation of children have been raised without one or both parents due to divorce, drugs, abuse, death or crime. I meet them everyday when my children bring their friends over.

Unfortunately, as a result of this Capitalistic mindset the church has spent decades building bigger barns or ministries instead of offering a solution to a fatherless generation, single parents and widows. Just yesterday my husband took the time to help a young man who lost his mother at 14 years old and lost his father when he accidently got shot by police in a crossfire. This young man had also served in Afghanistan. He was also taking care of his brother's children while attending school. These are the types of people we need to extend our time, love and resources to.

Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world. James 1:27
Recently, I watched a documentary on some man claiming to be Jesus in Russia and people were flocking to him by the van load. Why?  This ex-police officer bought some land and set up communal living in the beautiful countryside.  Everyone there contributes to the well being of the community. They plant their own food, live healthy and they live in peace. When the reporter asked the people why they went to live there it was for three reasons: food, shelter and peaceful living.  None of those had to do with doctrine or truth. They didn't seem to care what this fake Jesus believed because he showed them he cared. We need to offer real solutions to people's problems. The truth is Catholics do more for the poor than their Protestant counterparts. Mormons take care of their own church family members better than we do. At one point in time we were sending out more missionaries into the world than any other religion. Now Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses and Seventh Day Adventists outnumber us on the streets. Why? We have become part of a new revival Chad Taylor coined as the "Revival of No Responsibility."

From the pulpit to the pew; Capitalism has become pervasive way of life. I will call this "Building Bigger Barns" syndrome. We have spent years building crystal cathedrals while the city was being taken over by gangs, poverty and being laid waste by the enemy.  We have stored up for ourselves closets full of stuff while others walk around in the same clothes day after day. We have filled up our tables for Thanksgiving while others around us have no food. We don't even bother to ask people in the church if they have anywhere to go on the holidays. We eat at the restaurants every Sunday with the church elite while others go home to empty refrigerators. We throw our left over change in a basket and think God is pleased. Is He? This reminds me of a story in the bible about a man who had gotten an abundance of wealth but instead of giving the extra to others he decided to build bigger barns.

And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.”’ ²⁰ But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?’ ²¹ “So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.” Luke 12:19-21

I used to be a property manager of a storage and believe it or not the number one thing that always intrigued me was how people could not let go of their stuff. I knew one man that paid $249. a month for two storages that were filled with newspaper from top to bottom. One day I had to ask him why he had so many newspapers. He told me he read the health articles. Wow! This is a great example of how many of us are filled with knowledge but are really in the dark about our mental and spiritual state. This is so sad.

Ever watch those hoarder shows on TV? There has been times when some of these people have been found buried under their possessions. Our nation is literally drowning in stuff while the rest of the world lives in poverty! Our nation throws away food by the tons! The stores destroy it so no one can get it out of their garbage cans. This is selfish behavior. The military throws away rations that have expired. My husband has seen it personally. Yet, the nation of Israel always allowed their poor to glean the fields after harvesting.

Do you remember the story of the rich young ruler? Here is a recap: A young man offers to follow Jesus. This young man had lived a very obedient life to God but couldn't let go of one thing... ²¹ Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” ²² But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions. Matthew 19:21-22
I want you to note that Jesus did not ask him to give the money to tax collectors, the temple or even His own ministry. He said to give it to the poor.

He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord, And He will pay back what he has given.
Proverbs 19:17

In conclusion, if we are to truly to become love in action we must first start loving people unconditionally. We can't judge people because of their social status and feel justified for not showing mercy because somehow they did not climb out of the hole by themselves. That was the attitude the Pharisees had in the bible. They failed to be good Samaritans because they walked around the problem instead dealt with the issues at hand. If you are to be a true follower of Christ you will not mind getting in the trenches with the poor, homeless, sick, prisoner and forgotten. This is what Jesus did when He came to rescue you. First, we must start by providing for our own household then the household of faith. Pray and ask God what you can do to become the answer to someone else's problem then Be The Church!

Honoring In Our Giving

“Anyone who welcomes you welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. 41 Whoever welcomes a prophet as a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever welcomes a righteous person as a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward. 42 And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.” Matthew 10:40-42

Many of us may think that this scripture is about rank when actually it is about honor and love. Many people have given up on tithing or giving because of the obvious abuses in the church but what we don't realize is that we are getting ripped off. God rewards honor and love. If you notice Jesus said, "Anyone who welcomes you, welcomes me." We need to see that honoring people, honors the Lord. He doesn't even overlook anything as small as a glass of water. He wants us to recognize those who He has sent into our lives even if they aren't your big name preachers. We so often honor people who are "well known" in church but ignore the usher and look down upon those less "gifted." I have been in ministry many years and have found this type of partiality grieving to God. We will pile on the money on the name brand preacher but won't give a thought to a single parent or someone who is struggling in the body of Christ. Let's face it, ministry has become a business instead of a place of equipping, imparting and loving people into the maturity of Christ.

If you notice in the book of Acts  "All the believers were of one  heart and of one mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. 33 With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all 34 that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales 35 and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need." Acts 4:32-32-34

It's time that the body of Christ moves past selfish motives, agendas and business models. We want God's powerful grace but if you read the above scripture you will see that they were of one heart and one mind. It was a place of unity, love and giving. We need to stop treating people that come to bless our ministries with so much disdain. That's Jesus playing your music, straightening your chairs, taking up your offerings, feeding the hungry and sacrificing their time to do the will of our Father. There are people that go to our churches everyday that are hungry, sick and facing homelessness. We think that because we give our left over change in the offering that we are fulfilling our duty. That's not love my friend. That's religion. We need to stop being so preoccupied with wanting to be blessed that we seek out to be the blessing. This is true Christianity and the heart of our Father. For God so loved that He gave...

Get Your Prayers Answered!

One of the biggest complaints I quite commonly hear among Christians is that their prayers are not answered. While there may be many reasons our prayers not being answered, there are times that we fail to recognize when God does. For example I had a friend who prayed to be married for years. He had gotten a girl pregnant and the girl truly loved him. He didn't find her attractive but she was a terrific mother and would have made a great wife. Before long she moved on and she got married. He was very upset! All he would do is complain about how someone else was raising his child. She waited quite a few years on him but he was caught up in indecision and being picky about her looks. She was actually a good looking gal. I ran into him years later, he was still alone, single and wishing he could be in his daughter's life full-time. Unfortunately, he failed to recognize the gift God had brought into his life and missed out on his blessings. His expectations were way out of the boundaries of being reasonable so he did not receive what he was believing for. I hate to say but this happens more than we think. We fail to seize the moment or enter into the doors God opens. We start to put unreasonable expectations on God.

A good example of a an unreasonable expectation is to believe for a young beautiful looking spouse when we are old and mediocre looking. The truth is many people believe for things in their flesh because they have been looking at far too many magazines. Most people do not look like Hollywood stars my friend. For instance, you might be entertaining mental fantasies that has created unreasonable expectations of your mate. You may be missing out on someone who is already in your life willing to love you but your are too hung up on an ideal that no one can live up to. Our selfish desires sometimes cause us to miss out on our answered prayers!
Another way you can miss your answered prayer is if you think you are too good for a job, a person or an opportunity. Pride will keep you from receiving from God. It isn't realistic to believe for something you can't afford. I knew a brother who refused to get a used car even though he was on a budget and instead wanted a new one off the lot. The most expensive one! Well the money came and went with no car. I knew another Christian who lost a job opportunity because they decided to make unreasonable demands for a salary. The employer never called back. You have to know when you are in a position to bargain and when you are not. Perhaps you are believing for a house when you don't have a job to make the payments. You may get what you prayed for but then not have the money to make the payments. We can't allow presumption to cloud our reasoning. God wants us to operate in wisdom. We must count the cost of every relationship, purchase, decision and hear God's voice in every matter. Faith may get us what we want but wisdom will help us keep what we received by faith.

Believe it or not unrealistic expectations caused the Jews to miss their Messiah. The Jews could not receive their king because they were stumbled at the fact that Jesus was looked upon a everyday blue collar worker. "Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?” So they were offended at Him." Mark 6:3 They couldn't get over the fact that they knew him and the town he was from. Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found Him of whom Moses in the law, and also the prophets, wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” 46 And Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” John 1:45-46 They were expecting a Moses or Elijah and expected to be delivered from the hands of the Romans. They expected Jesus to overthrown the Roman government by force like Joshua or David but Jesus came to establish a kingdom that could not be seen. When the time came and Jesus was crucified they thought all was lost. They rejected Jesus as their savior because He did not meet their expectations.

This can also happen in spiritual relationships when people create unreasonable expectations of people in leadership. The truth is they couldn't possibly live up to the expectations they place upon others themselves. They expect every call, e-mail, or glance to be acknowledged or they get offended and leave the church. The problem with that is that they are probably missing out on something God had for them but they were never were around to receive it because of offense. There are people that literally wander around for years without anyone to speak into their lives and mentor them because they continually find fault with those over them. They want God on their own terms and on their own time. It doesn't work that way. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. James 4:8

In fact not being able to make to make up our mind, being hesitant, fearful, or expecting way too much are all signs of being double minded. Which really means that we are of two mindsets. The bible exhorts us this way, 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. James 1:6-7 Instability is caused by our lack of faith or double mindedness it causes us not to receive what we prayed for.


Not only can we miss God's answer to prayers because of our expectations are not reasonable but also because our expectations are too low. Perhaps we are asking God for a job with benefits and weekends off but then take a job that works us on the weekends with no insurance. Little did we know that the next call would have been our dream job but we failed to wait for it. Our unbelief can cause us to settle for less. Our desperation can cause us to be hasty.. We can't act out of desperation we need to move in revelation. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. James 1:5 Yet, it happens all the time we get so impatient with the process of waiting that we jump ahead of God. I wonder how many people got married to the wrong people because they jumped in the sack before really waiting on God for the answer? I had a friend who desperately wanted to get married. He didn't care to who; he just wanted to be married. Well finally a girl complied and she ended up abusing him. Before long they divorced and I never heard from him again. He was the sweetest guy you could ever meet but he settled for less. How is God going to answer your prayers if you aren't willing to wait? "What are you believing God for?" What do you want? It is ok to be specific within reason.

Here is a great example from my own life. I was looking for a car and was a place of desperation because the car we were driving was breaking. We went to a car lot, quickly began the contract and went to get the money. We never signed anything they were still getting the car ready. My husband could not get peace. We called for prayer and the Pastor encouraged us not to be hasty but wait on what we really wanted. We felt embarrassed but we decided to go up the street to another lot. There it was, a natural gas car that my husband always wanted. We knew right away that we wanted it. It was what we waited for. I am so glad that we listened to the lack of peace we were feeling it saved us hundreds of dollars in gasoline. If we take the time to listen to God and wisdom we too can have our prayers answered.
You might be thinking, shouldn't someone do what they said they would do? It is better to back out of your commitment than to make a longtime mistake. We can't allow pressure to cause us to make detrimental choices. We can't ignore the red flags and sirens going off just because we don't want to look bad. Never ignore the red flags. I don't care if you already planned the wedding and caterers. God will do what he can to warn us but we need to take the time to hear Him. We can't allow ourselves to be people pleasers. We also can't be indecisive or hesitant because like I mentioned before we will miss out on God's answer for our lives. You may be asking God for a promotion but because you are hesitant to ask your boss for it you miss out on the favor God has for you.

Also, many people pray but don't follow through with their part. You have to put feet to your prayers! You can't expect to become wealthy by sitting at home without a college education, without trying to look for work or at least allowing God to prosper you through witty inventions or creative ideas. For some reason many Christians believe that somehow if they mystically put their money in the basket every week that they will automatically prosper. God's word says he will bless the work of our hands but that means you have to work. It seems like everyone wants to live off the gospel now or days. However, more than ever Christians are needed in the marketplace like places of government, medicine, education, entertainment and etc. I always hear about this wealth transfer that will supposedly come from the world. That my friends will happen when Christians leave their pews and start cooperating with God's plan to take over areas of influence. God has called us to take dominion over the earth. If you read the bible you will see God always raised up leaders among his people. Daniel, David, Solomon, Esther, Joseph and Moses were in key government positions. They were the decision makers of their day. Deborah was a judge and the general did not go to war without her! Abraham was a wealthy real estate tycoon he just needed an heir. God loves to bless his people but his people need to rise up to action.

Just to recap on how to get your prayers answered:
1. Set reasonable expectations by setting attainable goals. People don't plan to fail; they fail to plan.

2. Don't lower your expectations; God can do great things! Don't be hesitant, fearful or allow self doubt. This is unbelief and double mindedness. You will never reach solid ground in your life if you allow your mind and emotions to rule you.

3. Don't wait around for God to do everything rise up to action! Don't expect others to do things that you can do for yourself. Be proactive in what God has shown you.

4. Don't be afraid to change your mind if you have made a mistake. Please God not men!

5. Remember to get wisdom and revelation from God he is the best consultant you can ever find. Also, find people who provide good counsel to be sure you are hearing from God.

Where there is no counsel, the people fall; But in the multitude of counselors there is safety.

Proverbs 11:14

6. Get involved and cooperate with God. Believe it or not you can miss out on God's will if you sit around and do nothing. All his promises are conditional upon obedience. "If" "You" then "I" "Will."

7. Always know that God has the best in mind for you so never get tricked into believing anything less.
"Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life" Psalm 23:6

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11
