A Prophetic Voice of the Lord.  
"This Moment will pass, but your future is forever"
Right now there are thoughts, imaginations and lives around the world being overwhelmed with fear. While each person is processing their mindsets or customs and their emotions processing what is taking place economically. The questions of, who do I trust, where do I put my trust, comes before them. There are those that trust politicians like they are family even as nations are beginning to see the effects which exposes the corruption of politicians with big businesses. I gave a prophecy four years ago that Mark 4:22 has started to take place in the earth. The day and hour of this season affects the lives from the youngest to the oldest. The hour of hopelessness has appeared in lives around the world as some see it. But, "this moment will pass!" History has afforded us the testimony of seasons of drought turning into seasons of abundance. The heart of the Father has started a world wide release of His powerful presence. This along with the display of His miracle working power throughout the nations is causing spiritual warfare to increase. Hope is not on the way, hope has never left, Jesus is our blessed hope.
What you believe in; is what you invest in! The time and attention you give; exposes the direction you live. The changes that are taking place are not in politics, but how we see politics. The governments of this earth are being positioned to the coming of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ himself. But I am here to tell you before we see Him face to face we shall see His body began to take shape. Unity amongst leadership shall prevail, establishing understanding as each part knows the word and voice of the Holy Spirit. Apostle Paul said "The body is fitly joined together, with every joint supplying to meet every need". The Holy Spirit shall open eyes and open ears causing mankind to see, that there is only one Lord, one faith, one baptism that has integrity. What tries to divide light is darkness, ignorance and dismay. But with the increase of light comes insight while watching the Holy Sprit have final say.
These are exciting days!

Proverbs 3: 5,6 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

The key word that the Spirit of God is saying is TRUST! The old hymnal we sang years ago. "Trust and Obey, for there is not other way, to be happy in Jesus is to trust and obey". God loves your worship, He sees your humility. But God craves the relationship of TRUST. Intimacy is not a moment of passion, but a lifestyle of trust. Recently my daughter Anna, who is six, was putting on some lipstick. I took her to the mirror in the bathroom and stood her up on the counter in front of the mirror. She looked and smiled at seeing her lips were bright pink, but then said "Daddy catch me". Without thought she fell backward instantly into my arms. It happened so fast, but she was safe in my arms because of trust. To know the friend that sticks closer than a brother, takes growing together. When there are broken dreams, or broken relationships, the pain can shatter your today. But it does not have the right to destroy your tomorrow. You are candidates for a miracle. If your problem is money, health, relationships, He is still El Shaddai, the God that is more than enough. You can change your today, while you create your tomorrow! Get in agreement with what Jesus; the Spirit of Prophecy is declaring about you. Say what God says about you and your situation; know that you have to invest in what you believe in. Believe in what God believes in! He believes in you so much that He still speaks by His Word and His Spirit about your future in the mist of your today. So, if you can trust God with your eternity, why can you not trust Him with your today? Your moment will pass, but your future is forever! So invest in your eternity!
Here are action/reaction scriptures to help!
Proverbs 4:20-27
Isaiah 26:3
Psalms 1:1-3
James 4:6-10
II Corinthians 10:3-5
Remember the fruit of your lips,
comes from the seed of your thoughts!

"The Judgment Call"

Mon, 24 May 2010 13:32:25 -0400

The Healing Word
"The Judgment Call"
In the United States of America, the Christian believer is in the place called a Judgment Call. What does this mean? You are at the beginning of identity transformation. The real you is beginning to surface. The one that is suppressed until we lose our temper or our circumstances has overwhelmed us to the point of outward expression, the identity that Matthew 19:18 describes in "woe because of confrontation or conflict." It's like what is on the top is the first to spill over in a shaky situation. As Hebrews 12:27 states, "everything that can be, will be shaken."
The place of conformity of being a silent Christian is coming to an end. The Word of the Lord is still true; who is on the Lords side? James 4:17 says, "For them that know to do good and doeth it not, it is sin." One thing about eschatology, prophecy, doctrine and authority, they still come back to morality. Is there a Call to Judgment? The Ten Commandments are an eternal issue. James and John wanted to call fire down from Heaven on the Samaritans because they were offended at Jesus, because He set Himself to go to Jerusalem. Not everything is appealing to everyone; truly we as a nation are divided. You know the one old saying, "United we stand, Divided we fall".
It's not about yours or others' faith, their doctrine, but about each individual conscience. We have great doctrines across this country, but where are the greatly committed beliefs of what we say we are, the foundation of this nation? So, the big question is: are we still a Christian Nation? The messages of tolerance, compromise, and political correctness are a mainstay of topics to impose. Isaiah 5:20 says, "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"
But where are the absolutes, the right versus wrongs? Is there a Call to Judgment? We are a nation of diversity, cultural differences, so how can we impose our ways on others. The truth can be established in this quote of Jesus in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." There is still a highway of holiness to reach the throne of God. It's not the actions as much as the attitude. It's not the outward appearance as much as the depth of the heart. Proverbs 4:20 tells us to guard our heart and Psalms 1:1 tells us not to receive counsel from the ungodly. Is it possible our conscience is being shaped or seared by the news media? By allowing your convictions to be suppressed because you do not want to offend anyone, means their convictions override yours. There is light and there is darkness, when you support someone who supports gay rights or abortion, you consent toward their actions and receive the rewards of their labor.
Psalms 50: 16 (KJV) But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth?17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee. 18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers. 19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit. 20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son. 21 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes. 22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
This election is not about politics, but judgment. So, is there a Call to Judgment? The judgment of God is to heal, restore and vindicate. The justice of Christ is to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8), so how can the anointing destroy the yoke if we are yoked to ungodliness? Still, "come out from amongst them" is in the scriptures, but our coming out is in our response, actions, and agreement. Not in what I wear, or where I go or even where I live. But, without holiness no man will see God (Hebrew 12:14). Below is a prophecy that was given October 19, 2008 in Columbia, TN as the Spirit of God moved on me.
"These are the days of purging, and is not my Spirit moving throughout the land? To see the sheep and the goats, on what side they would stand. For who is on the Lord's side and who would decree such a thing? Who will stand up for the God almighty and yield the heart of their whole being? For I'm moving throughout this nation and in accord you shall begin to see, for there is a violent nation that shall rise up against me. But I the Lord shall overcome it, because of the blood of the Lamb, and my Glorious Church shall stand up and will publicly display the I AM with signs and wonders in this nation like never seen before. They are even now perpetually moving to close Satan's door, for I am a God that can lock the door and no man can open it ever again and I am the God that can open a door and no man can close it again. I have begun an end to the way it was and I am now starting the process of what I want it to be. So therefore, who is on the Lord's side, who is going to yield their heart and soul to me? Because I have initiated judgment and judgment shall stand. So who will come before me with repentance and cry out for the mercy of God upon this land?"
How close are masses to being persuaded to take a computer chip or a mark in the hand or forehead, for the rally around a man is greater than a principle of God's Word. Still Proverbs 6:16-19 tells of six things that the Lord hates and one is "hands that shed innocent blood." Abortion alone is enough to bring judgment. But the approval and public consent of men with men and women with women in sexual relationships is an abomination. God does not change, and He loves judgment according to Psalms 37:28, "For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off."
In closing this little article I give you Psalms 1:1-6 for the judgment of God is wonderful for the obedient. Today is a day of reciprocity, for as you read this article the seed and intent is for you to "Love the Lord with all your heart, mind, soul and strength." We cannot serve God and mammon, which happens to be the systems that exist in our government. Clear you conscience and be open to do other than be part of the crowd. These are the last days; be a lover of God more than of status quo. Vote as though God will judge you for your actions, for He will! If you're on the Lord's side, stand for righteousness. Time is short; eternity is at hand; if you were judged, where would you stand?

“When Faith Is Tried”

Tue, 11 May 2010 00:14:19 -0400

The ancient of days is speeding up the process of aging; the problems of yesterday are passing fast as new problems are challenged. The time of faith is tried and the patience it takes to have strong faith is questioned. Tomorrow seems to be the same as yesterday, maybe, but you’re not. As life progresses, so does you innate ability to overcome. Life is full of challenges, but the answers lie within. What happens stirs up what is not happening. The investment is overlook by the opportunist that has everything. So as what we have is taken, what is hidden is revealed.
When faith is tried, it is a proving ground of our obedience to be doers of the word or just hearer. We find ourselves judging Gods Word in comparison with mans word. The symbolic comparison is, man can destroy, but cannot create. God can create, destroy, create again and even heal the un-heal-able. Where we are at in life has everything to do with were we are going. You problem can be a stepping stone or a place to stand. But doing nothing is not the will of God. He said to be "Doers of the Word" so even if you’re just standing.
Do something with what you got. The pressure of doing nothing always causes someone to go back to the past. People that complain, live their present based on the past. People that are excited and full of the praises of God, live in the future, beyond their moment. So faith is the substance of what you are expecting. Are you expecting the re-occurrence of the past or God to make all things new. Where you’re at in attitude is clinging to the past or fighting for your future. Time is speeding for righteousness sake, at least that is what Romans 9:28 tells us.
Jesus is coming after a glorious church, so is Jesus being Glorified while you are being identified? Where your heart is, is where your treasure is; Past; Present; Future; A prophet brings your future into your today, Time travel is set on what you want to relive or what you want to see, without a vision people parish. Look for tomorrow, His hand is not shorted, or His ears deaf to your cry, but believe that He hears and answers your prayers. So is the aging process, you growing old and week or maturing in the Lord and being made strong as an over-comer in Christ Jesus.

"The Healing Word"

Tue, 11 May 2010 00:11:58 -0400

The Healing Word
August 2007
The Spirit of the Lord woke me at two a.m. and began to lead me into worship. As I worshiped and listened for the voice of the Lord, He brought to me the scripture in II Corinthians 10:5 which states “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ,” (KJV)”. As I pondered the verse He brought to light the part that says of everything that tries to take pre-eminence over what we know about God. Then the Holy Spirit shifted the concept to;casting down every thought that is taking pre-eminence over what God knows and says about us, involving our today and our tomorrow.
Then I remembered Jeremiah 29:11-14 “ For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end”.
It is amazing how many times spiritual battles seem to war against our thinking, and this involves our mind, will, and emotions. In Isaiah 53:4 the scripture tells us that He, Jesus, hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows. Part of the battle from Satan is to bind or seduce and to deceive the strongman, which is your will. This is the goal of the father of lies, Satan, which is a thief (Mathew 12:29). For if the devil can bind or restrain your thinking, he affects your believing and receiving. Your thoughts are the seeds that produce the fruit of your lips. Love the truth, seek the truth, know the truth, Jesus said He is the truth. Do not offend the Holy Spirit and be in fear of offending others, for you are a living epistle. If you can trust God with your eternity, then you can trust God with your today.
Knowing scriptures is good; being a doer of the word in your subconscious is the issue. It’s like driving without thinking, cooking without a cookbook, or worshiping because a song is in your heart, not just in the hymnal during church. The prophet Amos states how can two walk together unless there is agreement (Amos 3:3). Relationship is the foundation of trust, Proverbs 3:5 tells us to trust in the Lord with all our heart. Trust is good to apply and live by, but the unconscious thoughts and words that surface in the mist of conflict; establish what we really believe, about others and ourselves.
David knew what he was saying to Solomon in Proverbs 4:21 concerning the guarding of your heart with all diligence, for out of it come the issues of life. Realize that as a man thinks so is he; is the blueprint of how you build you future. Philippians 4:8 tells me think on things that are lovely, just, pure, whole, good report, true, and honest. Holiness is an open door into the presence of God. You should not be thinking like the world, and living like you are a committed Christian. Standards and dress codes, even moral codes, that required strict public lifestyles, are the teaching of some churches. Yet allowing individuals to speak and mentally think of God’s word as selective for certain individuals that He favors. Because some would think they are not worthy of His attention. His opinion of you is different than yours. He thought you were worth dying for, who are you to second-guess Jesus.
This is what I am talking about. Stop. I mean, stop thinking thoughts that make God’s knowledge about you insignificant. His thoughts are higher than yours; He knows your beginning and end. God knows your future; He cannot remember your past, which is under the blood. He loves you so much that He said you are worth dying for. Now is the time to bring every thought in obedience of what God knows, and speaks about you. If you have been born again, the greater one lives in you. Allow the Holy Spirit to preserve your whole spirit, soul, and body blameless as stated in 1 Thessalonians 5:23, 24. Give no place to the Devil in your thought life. God cannot lie. Cast down the thoughts that disagree with what He knows, He thinks, and speaks about you, and your ministry, your future, your family, your health, and your finances. You are redeemed from the curses of sin, sickness, poverty and death. Psalms 107:2 says let, the redeemed of the Lord speak their agreement with the thoughts of the Father God. Think out loud, and be confident that God began a good work in you and will finish it (Philippians 1:6). Without agreement with Gods Word the Bible, there is no faith, Answer the prayer that Jesus prayed, (Mathew 6:9-13) “…thy will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven”. There is no fear, negative, pessimistic thinking in Heaven. Start seeing from the eyes of Heaven, and repeat again and again of what is said about you from Gods perspective. Helen Howarth Lemmel wrote a song that has these words in it. “Turn your eyes upon Jesus. Look full in His wonderful face. And the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace.”
You are anointed to destroy the powers of hell, not give place to what darkness thinks.
Be who you are, (I John 4:17)
