God is asking for a divorce!



God is asking for a divorce. A divorce from the Jezebel spirit!

Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

The church has tolerated a spirit of Jezebel long enough! 

I hear the Lord say, I will not tolerate Jezebel's seduction, witchcraft, false prophecies, fornication, and idolatry in my house anymore. I want you to divorce this spirit or I will divorce you! Enough of eating off her table! Enough of partnering with seducing spirits! Enough of your whoredoms and idolatry! Enough of your vanity! Enough of your false prophecies and witchcraft! I am lifting up the skirt of Jezebel and seeing who her eunuchs are. Ahab's house will not go unpunished. I am raising up a company of Jehus to clean house. Surely as California burns so will my church be baptized in my fire. I will burn up the chaff in my house, for I am a consuming fire. The judgment and separation must first come to My Houss before I can bring judgment to the world.  

 21  And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.

 22  Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.

 23  And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

Revelations 2:21-23

Prophetic Notice: Flooding Coming


I heard this loud in my spirit this morning. "Calamity approaching!" Get right with God. Dress rehearsal is over! You think you won't be touched and that you have more time. You do not. I saw a solid sheet of rain. While we burn over here in California there will be unprecedented massive flooding in other parts of our nation. You don't know when it is your time to answer to God. Get ready, get ready, get ready! God opposes the proud and crushes rebellion for rebellion is the sin of witchcraft. This is the very nature of Satan. You ask why would He do this? Humility. I'm humbling America so she can enter in. I'm removing the dross from her heart so I can show mercy. I will deal with Leviathan and the spirit of pride. Seven judgments are coming. Two are here. Flee the coastlands and listen to me when I say GO! Jaziz Gutierrez 08/23/20

Please pray everyone pray that lives will be spared. 😔🙏🔥

Prophetic Message: End Time Principles For This Season


During the early morning hours, I recently had a vision of God's hand repositioning me back into my place in God's army. I saw His hand move me like a chess piece. I believe He will be doing this with many people in this season. Those who resist Him will be replaced. He is the Grand Master of Chess. He is the one who moves all the pieces. He has a strategy and we must remember that the devil always plays into God's hand. "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28) 

There are a few Kingdom principles that are going to play out in this next season.

First, the first shall be last and the last shall be first. (Matthew 19:30) Those who were last to be picked will be first in this next season. They will be the forerunners of a new move and break out of the confinements of the old wineskins (mindsets) that have kept the church stuck. They will be the unlikely Peters who abandoned their posts in discouragement because of the church's systemic failures but whose comeback will signal revival and reformation.  

I also see that the following end time principles being played out in this very important time in World History as churches worldwide have closed their doors. The second principle is the wisdom in knowing how to get your own oil from God. I do believe that staying on fire or lit for God has a lot to do with knowing how to go to God as your resource for His presence. If you have become "church" dependent you are in a dangerous place. It is foolish to depend on others to feed you, keep you motivated, and close to Jesus especially in this season. As leaders, it is imperative that we teach God's people how to go to God for themselves as their resource and teach them how to trim their lamp so they can be those who will endure to the end.
"But he who endures to the end shall be saved." (Matthew 24:13)

"And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps, are going out.’ But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’" (Matthew 25:8-9)

The third end time principle: To those who have more shall be given.
"For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away." (Matthew 25:29) Those who have the resources, talents, finances, spiritual gifts and etc to advance God's Kingdom will be given more in abundance if they step into their position. Those who squander their time, resources, talents, finances, spiritual gifts on mundane things will experience lack until they prioritize seeking God's Kingdom first and His righteousness. In this parable, the wicked steward hid his talent out of fear. If fear is keeping you from speaking out, doing good, standing up for righteousness, and advancing God's Kingdom; please understand that God considers this wicked. Why you may ask? Fear is the opposite of faith. Without faith, we cannot please Him. We must move out of what's comfortable (safe) and take Kingdom risks (faith) to accomplish what we are called to do. Especially at this time!
"But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." (Hebrews 11:6) 

Fourth, end time principle:
His lord said to him, "Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord." (Matthew 25:23)
Being faithful over small God-given tasks in this season will also be rewarded greatly. In this parable, God rewarded those who took on the simple tasks of helping the poor, clothing the naked, visiting the prisoner, healing the sick, and other acts of kindness. This too will be marks of revival. Going into the highway and byways to invite all those who have been marginalized (a person or group treated as insignificant or as outcasts) will be a sign to the world that love is the answer to this world who has fallen into chaos and violence. 

To summarize, we must not be discouraged by what's going on because we understand that all things work together for good. Turn off the news and read the Good News. We win! Don't be shocked by those who God uses to bring revival and reformation. God uses who He wills. Learn to go to God for your resource. This is imperative if you are going to endure to the end. This is the wrong time to hide in fear. Please know the season you are in and don't squander God's resources and your time on mundane things and tasks. Finally, don't minimize being faithful in small things like community outreach, feeding the poor, visiting the prisoner, healing the sick, and talking to strangers about Jesus. God is impressed by faith motivated by love. Love is the answer to chaos, rebellion, and violence. It is not a time to take sides! It is time to make our lives a sermon that speaks the truth in love!

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!

Water Pots Filled With Wine




John 2: 1-10
On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. 3 And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.”

4 Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does your concern have to do with Me? My hour has not yet come.” 5 His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.” 6 Now there were set there six water pots of stone, according to the manner of purification of the Jews, containing twenty or thirty gallons apiece. 7 Jesus said to them, “Fill the water pots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And He said to them, “Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast.” And they took it. 9 When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom. 10 And he said to him, “Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine, and when the guests have well drunk, then the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!”

I heard the Lord say this morning, "I saved the best for last." For I am going to turn my water pots into vessels of wine. I will draw them out and pour them out to all my invited guests. When it seems like no more wine is left, and I am not moving anymore that's when I will fill my vessels who have been set apart for purity and change them into vessels of my presence. Even if it does not seem like it is time yet for me to move you can by faith cause me to move on your behalf simply by your earnest expectation! So get filled to the brim and I will change what is inside you. You are filled with water but now I will fill you with wine.

In order to contain what I am about to do you must get rid of the old wine skins or the old thinking, the old message, the old music and the old methods. You will not be able to contain what I am about to do within the structure and confinement of an old move. It will not be like times past. Don't attempt to do things the way you always have. It will not work. Am I not a living God? Things that are dead do not move. Whatever I tell you to do...Do it! No more hesitation and trepidation. No more looking for others to step out first. No more looking for others to approve. No more looking at your abilities. Get out of the boat! My Word will sustain you. Get ready church because I have saved the best for last!

Isaiah 43:18-19
“Do not remember the former things,Nor consider the things of old.19 Behold, I will do a new thing,Now it shall spring forth;Shall you not know it?I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert.

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!

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.

Seduction Exposed!



Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;...1 Timothy 4:1 KJV
In letter to Timothy, Apostle Paul warns of a time in the future when people were going to depart from the faith for two key reasons. First, they would depart because they gave heed to seducing spirits, and secondly because they gave heed to doctrines of devils. Our focus will be the seducing spirits or the spirit of seduction. When you look at the word seducing in the Greek it means exactly what it says. Seduction or seducing is the persuasion to disobedience or disloyalty, to be led away by false promises, to be enticed to sexual desire by arousing hope or desire by artful attraction. To bait, allure, tempt, betray, and finally trap you.


You may ask yourself so what does this have to do with me? Without even knowing it most Christians expose themselves to this spirit on a daily basis. Seduction is a spirit. On a daily basis whenever you listen to music, TV, drive down the freeway, walk down the street, and go shopping it is there.  While you watch TV you are bombarded with commercials that seduce you to eat, spend, drink, go to parties, and arouse lustful thoughts as they show sensual scenes or make provocative gestures.  Just go anywhere, and there is music playing in the background that is planting seeds of sensuality, violence and temptation. If you are driving down the freeway there are signs to come visit the nearest strip joint, go to the casinos, eat, and buy things you can't afford. Then you go to the store, and the aisles are lined up with the latest gossip, with seductive women or men on the front cover; complete with tips on how to become a more sensual person yourself. Then there is TV shows that encourage adultery, fornication, witchcraft, violence, and every other sin known to man. What we don't realize is that by watching, reading, or looking at these things we are giving heed (paying attention) to these seducing spirits.
Still don't think this is a problem let's look at the life of Samson the strongest man that ever lived.

Let's read on to Judges 16:4 Afterward it happened that he loved a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
And the lords of the Philistines came up to her and said to her, “Entice him, and find out where his great strength lies, and by what means we may overpower him, that we may bind him to afflict him; and every one of us will give you eleven hundred pieces of silver.”

Here is Samson a strong man who was supposed to be consecrated or separated to God for the purpose of serving Him but lived his life unchecked from temptation. Unfortunately, he comes upon a woman who becomes his downfall. Delilah is symbolic of a spirit of seduction. Her mission is to entice, find out what your weaknesses are, so that you can be overcome, be bound and afflicted. Delilah can also be a man because it is a spirit working through a person. As I mentioned before it works even through media. If you read the rest of Judges 16 you will see that Delilah continues to ask Samson over and over again what the source of his strength is until she finally wears him down.
Then she said to him, “How can you say, ‘I love you,’ when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me these three times, and have not told me where your great strength lies.16 And it came to pass, when she pestered him daily with her words and pressed him, so that his soul was vexed to death, 17 that he told her all his heart, and said to her, “No razor has ever come upon my head, for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother’s womb. If I am shaven, then my strength will leave me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man.”
(Judges 16:15-17)

As you can see from the above scripture the spirit of seduction will use loyalty or love as a reason for you to give into it. This spirit likes to wear you down until you become weary, and weak in your heart. Delilah is always after our consecration because consecration is the source of God's power in our lives. When Samson gave into seduction he lost all his strength.
When Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, “Come up once more, for he has told me all his heart.” So the lords of the Philistines came up to her and brought the money in their hand. 19 Then she lulled him to sleep on her knees, and called for a man and had him shave off the seven locks of his head. Then she began to torment him, and his strength left him. 20 And she said, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” So he awoke from his sleep, and said, “I will go out as before, at other times, and shake myself free!” But he did not know that the Lord had departed from him. (Judges 16:18-20)

Not only is the spirit of seduction after your consecration it is after your whole heart. It will not stop until you give in to it fully. Without knowing it many Christians have been lulled to sleep while being stroked by this spirit with promises of better times if only we will succumb to it.  The next thing you know the devil ambushes you. The biggest mistake we can make is to think we can shake off the temptation after flirting with it. This is dangerous my friend. No matter how strong you think you are; one day you will not be able to shake yourself free from the bondage the enemy lured you into. Just like Samson you will realize not only is your strength gone so is your relationship with God. God is the source of our strength. I have seen many warriors once strong in the Lord succumb to this seducing spirit, and lose their vision.  They become captives of the enemy, and some of them never return from the enemy's prison camp. I believe this warning is for everyone. We can never play with the idea that we are above temptation or too strong to be seduced. This is a life lesson from the bible.
If we are being seduced the bible gives us the key to getting free from it. We need to stop giving our attention to it. We cut off the cable TV and internet if necessary. We stop looking at the magazines, reading the romance novels, and watching the shows that arouse us to sin. We stop conversing with people who entice us to return to our former party lifestyle, and we cut off all means of communication with people who will not respect our boundaries. We stay away from people who carry a seducing presence on them.  You know who they are. They like to flaunt their body. They like to show a little too much, and like to flatter you. Flattery is hidden hostility. Desperate housewives isn't just a show it is a reality. There is also desperate office guys too. Don't be afraid to rebuke someone who is clearly disrespecting you. I once had to tell a Christian that his lustful conversations were inappropriate, and I had to cut off the communication because he was defiling me with his words. It is with words that this seducing spirit enters the lives of many men, and women. Also be careful who, and how someone touches you. I once had someone hug me at church, and a seducing spirit tried to jump on me. Years later I found out this person ran off with someone, and left their wife. You can be sure that seduction, and lust work hand in hand. Seduction works externally, and lust works inwardly but God's Word destroys both.


I was sitting at Jack and the Box on my laptop the other day when a man asked me if "I was reading nasty e-mails." I told him that, "I ignore those kind of e-mails." Conversation over. People will even use jokes to get you to entertain a seducing or lustful spirit. Don't give it a chance. Walk away. You are in charge of what you see, hear or pay attention to. You have authority to tell it to go. In the name of Jesus I command the spirit of seduction to go! It might stubbornly try to resist you but it has no authority or dominion and it must obey the name of Jesus!
Let's pray. Father, I repent for giving in and paying attention to a seducing spirit. Forgive me and release me from its power and hold over my life. Show me the areas in which I can cut it off and consecrate myself more fully to you. I don't want to be like Samson and end up a prisoner with my vision taken from me. Open my eyes to be more sensitive to this and give me the strength to shut it down immediately. Let your kingdom come into my life and deliver me from temptation. In Jesus name. Amen.

Prophecy: Cold Hearts In Days Ahead

Jesus prophesied long ago "Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold."
Matthew 14:11-12

      It will be that many will turn away from sound doctrine, follow false teachings and will fall into deception. The increase of sin in the church and poor example that they see in leadership will so disappoint real believers that some will walk away. They will start to question what is real because it will be hard to tell what if God and what is not. Many will grow cold in their faith and love towards God. We are seeing this now in record numbers. However Jesus said, "But he who endures to the end shall be saved!" In other words it is not a guarantee that you will make through unless you decide now that you will guard your heart will all diligence and endure the testing that is coming ahead. We will have to keep our hearts from offense, keep ourselves connected to God and be sensitive to the Spirit of Truth. My friends, we have no time to spend on frivolous activities for in the coming days ahead perilous times will come and we need to prepare now so that we may have the endurance to overcome. Endurance comes with resistance and training. Don't be dismayed that you are being resisted now because that is what is going to build your spiritual muscle. These circumstances may feel heavy but Jesus is helping you carry the weight until you can lift it yourself in prayer. In this season it will become very important that we pray for one another and strengthen each other. There is no room for petty strife, vain arguments and false accusations. We will need to stand together AS ONE!
