Triumph Over Accusations

8/29/2016

We are entering into a great season of promotion/elevation, increase/multiplication and blessing/prosperity. The devil has no intention of stepping to the side while God works all of this out in our lives. He knows this is a crucial time in the Kingdom and is coming from every angle to hinder what God has already predestined. He is a deceiver and will come to trick even the very elect into believing his lies. I’ve seen this happen with many people that I have admired. People who have spoken the Word of the Lord with accuracy and love God.

Matthew 24:24
24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

No one is exempt! It doesn’t matter the title, the anointing, or even the demonstration, that someone has. The devil comes cunningly with deception and will use every opportunity to pervert the gifts that God has given us. We have to stay humble before the Lord constantly asking Him to search our hearts and open to His correction. We must stay in a posture of conviction and repentance, seeking clean hands and a pure heart.

Now is the time where we have to stay in the spirit and pray continuously. We have to judge everything according to God’s Word without twisting the text. Correction is very much needed for the saints, because of this, the accuser is working double time to falsely judge the ones who are in alignment with God’s plan. The great news is, that if we are serving the Lord, He will vindicate us.

Isaiah 54:17
No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord.

The Message
but no weapon that can hurt you has ever been forged. Any accuser who takes you to court will be dismissed as a liar. This is what God’s servants can expect. I’ll see to it that everything works out for the best.” God’s Decree.

The Voice
But no instrument forged against you will be allowed to hurt you, and no voice raised to condemn you will successfully prosecute you. It’s that simple; this is how it will be for the servants of the Eternal; I will vindicate them.

AMP
“No weapon that is formed against you will succeed; And every tongue that rises against you in judgment you will condemn. This [peace, righteousness, security, and triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And this is their vindication from Me,” says the Lord.

NLT
But in that coming day no weapon turned against you will succeed. You will silence every voice raised up to accuse you. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the Lord; their vindication will come from me. I, the Lord, have spoken!

Wow, all of these different versions add such a rich understanding of this scripture! We wrestle in the spirit, not against flesh and blood. We stay serving the Lord, no matter the circumstance, and He will clear us from the accusations that have been holding us back.

There have been words that have been spoken that have seemed to keep us from our promise. There have been unjustified offenses that have been taken on by people from hearsay. There have been false assumptions and misunderstandings that have been orchestrated by perceptions filtered by the devil. There have been witchcraft prayers that have been spoken over us.

God is coming to vindicate us! We will triumph over all accusations and rise to have dominion in this season. Pray that the saints of God be turned to His voice. We must stay in unity with God’s plan and focus on what God is doing and not what man is or isn’t doing. Press in a little while longer. Don’t give in to the counterfeit. The real thing is coming bigger than we have imagined!

Father, we thank You that You are a just and merciful God. Forgive us for placing man’s gifts above Your Word. Forgive us for being deceived by false teachings. Forgive us for complaining instead of praying. Align us with Your Word and give us clean hands and a pure heart. Keep us humble and receptive to conviction that comes from You. We believe that You are our vindicator. We condemn every judgement that has been falsely spoken against us. We break the power of every lie, curse, offense, misunderstanding, rumor, and anything else that has tried to keep us from our inheritance. Let the spirit of prayer arise and increase in our lives. Let our foundation always be firmly planted in the truth of Your Word. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen!

Perfect Grace And Completed Wholeness - Year 5777

8/22/2016

0 Comments

October 3rd at sundown starts the new year according to the Jewish calendar. I love that their new year starts at harvest time here in the United States. Times and seasons are important for our individual lives and also for the Kingdom of God and its advancement. This year is the Jewish year 5777.

The number 5 is the number of grace/servanthood and the number 7 is the number of completion. 3 number 7s is significant because 3 is the number of wholeness/fullness.

We (servants of God) are about to enter a time of perfect grace and completed wholeness. The fullness of our purpose is about to manifest for kingdom advancement.

What does that mean? It means that everything is about to fall into alignment with what God has called us to do! A great harvest awaits. We will reap from sown seeds long forgotten. We will receive the favor and understanding of God and man that comes from wearing truth and mercy. We will receive provision and resources just as Nehemiah did to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem. The nations are waiting for the sons of God to arise. We have the solutions to poverty, fatherlessness, lawlessness, depression, sickness, and every other burden that the world carries. Now the grace of God is being released to give the world what it needs. Ears are being opened and hearts tenderized to receive.

It is important that each one of us do what we are graced to do. If we try to operate out of the realm of our God given assignment, then we will surely fail.

September is going to be a month of great breakthrough and answered prayers. This is to super charge our faith and jumpstart us into the new year. We must listen carefully to instructions and pay close attention to strategy being released. We must question the Holy Spirit about everything because He will lead us and guide us into all truth. We must use every piece of wisdom, knowledge and discernment that God gives us. We will see and hear God more than ever before. Prophetic dreams will be released that will shift governments and places of power. This is the season for miracles, signs, and wonders. God will move in power if only we will act. We must be bold and courageous not fearing man. Extreme obedience must be our position as we claim our inheritance and secure the foundation for the next generation.

Don’t worry about your own weaknesses or present circumstances.

2 Corinthians 12:9
And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

This is the season for God’s strength to be made perfect. His grace is definitely more than enough! He will get all the glory as we move forward into the fullness of his wholeness and completion of His loving grace that abounds toward us. It’s bigger than we think and Jesus in us is the power that will give God the glory for all generations.

Ephesians 3:14-21
Appreciation of the Mystery
14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,[a] 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Father we thank You for appointed times and seasons. Forgive us for operating outside of our assignment. Align us with what You have graced us to do. We wait with great anticipation for the new year that will bring in Your perfect grace and completed wholeness matched with the fullness of Your love and power. Give us a spirit of obedience. Keep us in tune with Your movements and flowing by the leading of Your Spirit. We want our lives to bring You glory to all of the generations. Let Your fire burn within us leaving salt and light everywhere that we go. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen!

Warring In Your Promised Land - On The Tip Of A New Season

8/8/2016

0 Comments

God starts off a new season with a vision of His promise.

Numbers 14:7-10
7 and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying: “The land we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land. 8 If the Lord delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, ‘a land which flows with milk and honey.’[a] 9 Only do not rebel against the Lord, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the Lord is with us. Do not fear them.”

10 And all the congregation said to stone them with stones

People won’t always believe Your promise! Although the promise is usually beneficial to all that are connected to you, most of the time they don’t have the prophetic vision or spirit of faith and obedience to believe. Most of the time it feels like we are being stoned by everyone around us. We can’t let the naysayers keep us from what God has shown us. Joshua and Caleb got to see the promise because they had the spirit to obey! All those 20 years old and above would die in the wilderness except for Caleb and Joshua. God was holding all those of fighting age accountable for not being willing to fight for the promise.

Joshua 1:2-3
“Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them—the children of Israel. 3 Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses.

The next 5 verses God told Joshua to be strong and courageous 3 times
God continued to tell Joshua to be strong and courageous through all of the chapters.

Help may come from unusual places. God used Rahab the Harlot to hide God’s people spying out the land. God spared her entire family and blessed them. They prophetically gave her instructions and she obeyed and believed by faith that there she would be safe. God will also bless those who help you if they heed your prophetic instructions!
Not only was she blessed but dwelled in Israel, gave birth to Boaz, and is in the genealogy of Jesus.

Joshua 7:7-12
7 And Joshua said, “Alas, Lord God, why have You brought this people over the Jordan at all—to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us?

Although Joshua was dwelling in His promise, he became discouraged. He had to fight to guard it and see it grow. He had a weak moment and wanted to give up. He didn’t understand why his warfare wasn’t working.

10 So the Lord said to Joshua: “Get up! Why do you lie thus on your face? 11 Israel has sinned, and they have also transgressed My covenant which I commanded them. For they have even taken some of the accursed things, and have both stolen and deceived; and they have also put it among their own stuff. 12 Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they have become doomed to destruction. Neither will I be with you anymore, unless you destroy the accursed from among you.

Sometimes the people we have fighting with us, doesn’t have the same spirit of obedience. When God gives us instruction, we must follow them. We have to pay attention to those around us who might be filled with pride and greed. They could be keeping us from winning the next battle. Sometimes the things that we covet from our past will keep us from our promise. If God is telling us to let go of something and we refuse, then our promise will be held up!

Joshua 11:16,23
16 Thus Joshua took all this land: the mountain country, all the South, all the land of Goshen, the lowland, and the Jordan plain[a]—the mountains of Israel and its lowlands,

23 So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the Lord had said to Moses; and Joshua gave it as an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. Then the land rested from war.

Even after all of that, there was more war that had to take place to receive the rest of the inheritance land. God told Joshua that he was getting too old. The land was to be divided amongst the tribes. Some promises are not for us but for our next generation.

Joshua 14:7-12
7 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land, and I brought back word to him as it was in my heart.

, these forty-five years, ever since the Lord spoke this word to Moses while Israel wandered in the wilderness; and now, here I am this day, eighty-five years old. 11 As yet I am as strong this day as on the day that Moses sent me; just as my strength was then, so now is my strength for war, both for going out and for coming in. 12 Now therefore, give me this mountain of which the Lord spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and that the cities were great and fortified. It may be that the Lord will be with me, and I shall be able to drive them out as the Lord said.”

Some promises God will give us supernatural strength to receive. It doesn’t matter how long you have waited, or how old you are. If God has given you an assignment, He will give you supernatural strength to complete it. Don’t give up before it is your time. Keep faith and keep pressing into obedience regardless of how it looks or what others are saying.

The important thing is to listen to Gods voice and obey His instructions. We can’t worry about what others say. We can’t give up on the promise because of the warfare that needs to take place. We have to fight for our inheritance. God will give us our enemies while we obey his instructions and don’t intermingle with things that HE has forbidden. If He has promised it then it is ours!

The Promise Granted Through Faith

13 For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. 14 For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise made of no effect,

We are heirs of Abraham through faith. We are heirs of the world, it belongs to us. There is a process to our promise. I haven’t even reached the tip of what God promised me when I first got saved. He has answered many promises on the journey, but to get to the end result I have to stay in the fight.

I encourage you to be strong and courageous. Remember our battle isn’t against flesh and blood. We fight our enemies with the Word, prayer, obedience, worship, repentance, thankfulness, joy, love, and all the fruits of the spirit. We must keep our thoughts on Him so the enemy can’t entertain our imagination.

We are at the tip of a new prophetic season! I can’t wait to reveal what God has been showing me. While I have been in a season of promises, I have been on my face wondering why God brought me here because the war has been difficult! It’s about to shift. God says “Get Up”!

Father, we thank You that You are with us wherever we go. Forgive us for not always being strong and courageous. Forgive us for not realizing that there are enemies in our camp. Forgive us for holding on to things that You told us to let go of. We get up now and proclaim our promise. We stand in obedience and by faith move forward to receive everything that You have shown us. Help us end this season well and transition boldly and smoothly into the new. We don’t care who stands with us as long as you are there. We give You praise and glory for bringing us this far and for the new supernatural strength that we are about to receive. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen!

God's Will For This Season...

8/1/2016

We are in great times right now. The enemy would love for us to believe differently. The world is in chaos and dysfunction. Everyone seems to have an answer but no solution (if that even makes sense….). People of the world are using intellectualism to rationalize confusion, lawlessness, racism, rebellion, and all other kinds of foolishness. As believers, we are in the world but not of it. This is explained in John 15 and 17. It is also stated that this is why the world hates us. It is fine to be smart, but we can’t place our own thoughts, teachings, and understandings above what the Word of God says. God does the simple things to confuse the wise. His ways are above our ways and He makes what is impossible with man very possible by His strength.

So what is the will of God for believers in this season? The stage is set for God to place His fingerprint on the lives of believers. I believe He is about to come in and mark us with His glory. The fruit of our labor is going to be rewarded. He is coming into our situations and not only turning them around for our good, but also manifesting miracles that will make His name great before those that hated us because they don’t believe. The will of God is this:

1 Thessalonians 5:16-24
16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise prophecies. 21 Test all things; hold fast what is good. 22 Abstain from every form of evil.
Blessing and Admonition
23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.

We can’t let the times discourage us. Our posture needs to be of one rejoicing and giving thanks. We need to be praying about everything. All of these foolish distractions have put a heaviness on God’s people. The state of America has put us in complain and murmur mode. The enemy wants to keep us in the wilderness and keep us from our promise!

We can’t quench the Spirit! We have to lean into God to hear past the noise to what our Holy Spirit is saying. If we don’t know what to pray, we must pray in the Spirit. Overwhelming discouragement can cause hopelessness that causes prayerlessness. We have to stay in the Spirit!

We can’t despise our prophesies because of our waiting period. We must test the words that have been released and hold onto what is good despite how long it seems to be taking. We must stay in faith and refrain from the evils that could corrupt our promise.

Prayer completely cleanses us and keeps us blameless. Prayer keeps us in peace despite of the chaos around us. Prayer keeps us faithful and puts us in position to receive what God has promised. He is faithful!

So get ready God’s people! He is coming to show himself strong! He is coming in power with miracle signs and wonders! He is coming with love, joy, and fulfillment! He is coming with wisdom, strategy, and instructions! He is coming with answers, solutions, and resources! He is coming with everything that we need. He already has it and is waiting for His perfect timing to release it. His Word is truth. He cannot lie and is faithful to fulfil what He has promised. Don’t give up now. Our lives are about to change as we know it!

Father, we thank You that You have a will for our lives. Thank You for every prophetic promise and assignment. Forgive us for giving up hope and being distracted and discouraged by world affairs. Today we put our focus back on You. We surrender all to You in prayer, rejoicing with thanksgiving. Help to keep us from every evil. We choose to stay in the Spirit and know that You are faithful to do what You have promised. We are ready for You. We want to be sanctified and blameless to receive everything that you have to release into our lives. We give You all of the glory. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen!
