All That Can Be Shaken Is Being Shaken

By Angel Dahilig.

03-11-2003.


Many of us have been in a winter season, holding onto God’s promises and the visions which he has put in their hearts, while the fulfillment of these promises lie dormant, even without any sign of life. Many of the seeds that have been sowed into our hearts have been promises of sustenance, healing, and/or deliverance, or He has planted the vision and desire to be about the Father’s business with a service, mission, or a ministry. Yet, since the sowing of the promises and visions in our hearts, many of us have experienced a winter, a waiting period, where we have watched our resources dry up. We also have not seen the mountains moved out of the way, no, but on the contrary, they seem to have grown steeper or bigger. The hope for the bringing forth of the sowed promise, appears to be fading, and we wonder if we ever heard the Lord right at all. We have cried out to the Lord, “Lord, what have I missed? What am I not doing for you? What sin is hidden in my heart to keep me from hearing you? What should I be doing, or preparing? Please, give me instruction on what your will is. Have I heard you right?” Yet, very little or no new instruction seems to have come forth from Him concerning the fulfillment of those promises and visions. Yet during those times when we are asking Him these questions, His Holy Spirit asks us in return, “Do you trust Me?” as he gently reminds us to keep His promises in sight and to hold fast to the last instructions He may have given us, and to not move until he has told us to move. His Word has also reminded us many times, during this winter season, to “Wait upon Me, and keep My ways….”



Many prophecies have gone forth from the Lord’s servants, declaring that “ALL THAT CAN BE SHAKEN, WILL BE SHAKEN.” The shaking IS NOT JUST OF THE WORLD and it’s systems… not just of the world’s financial system, the governmental system, the apostate church, and the nations. But this shaking is a SHAKING OF US!… A SHAKING OF GOD’S PEOPLE AND SERVANTS… FROM TRUSTING IN OUR OWN STRENGTH!



In the waiting, and during the winter dormancy of our promises… through the drying up of our earthly resources, and the growing obstacles…though the viability of the promise appears to be dying… through all of this, THE LORD IS SHAKING US… OUT OF US! HE IS SHAKING US FROM RELYING ON OURSELVES! We have relied partly on our own strength, even our own “righteousness” or “spirituality” or “gifts”, and WE HAVE TRIED TO THINK OF EVERY POSSIBLE WAY TO BRING THOSE PROMISES AND VISIONS TO PASS, yet we are not able to (without disobeying his instructions to us)! At this time, EVERYTHING THAT IS NOT BASED IN TRUST AND FAITH IN HIM, AND HIS ARM ALONE, IS BEING SHAKEN. Our FAITH and TRUST IS BEING SHAKEN AND TRIED, as we are witnesses to the DYING OF OUR OWN STRENGTH TO BRING THE PROMISES TO PASS.



In the past, the Lord has allowed many to get by and continue to serve him by mixing reliance of themselves with reliance on the Lord. But in this shaking, nothing that is of us, or based on our own understanding in the natural, will continue to walk on towards the promised land. Only that which is based on truth, and trust and faith in God’s promises and His faithfulness, will go forth under the banner of the Lord. We must continue to stand firm in this time. Do not be moved, but stand on the rock, Christ, your firm foundation. Continue to wait upon the Lord, and to keep his ways, to love the Lord your God with your whole heart and to love one other as he has loved you. Continue to walk in the path of submission and humbleness and faith and perseverance and the sacrificial love that he has called you to. Continue to seek Him first. Trust in Him, and rest in his promises to sustain you, to keep you, to heal you, to deliver you, to be with you and to never leave you nor forsake you. Continue to run the good race for the hope of the prize held out for you. Keep your eyes on Him and the cross. For it was through the cross that you met the Lord, and it is through the cross that you shall be saved. Both through the finished work of redemption that Christ obtained for you on his cross, and through the denying of yourself and the picking up of your cross to follow him.



Revelation 14:4 … These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.



Isaiah 2:8,11

8. Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:

11. The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.



Matthew 23:19. Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar [the cross of Christ] that sanctifieth the gift?

 


MY RESURRECTION POWER


Mar 12, 2003

Patsy Shelton


MY RESURRECTION POWER


I had a vision and I saw a highway that had no beginning and no end. There were people on this highway, millions of people, and I could not see the beginning or the end of them. Some were limping, some were crawling, and some were dragging their bodies. Many had bandages, some on their heads, some on their arms, some on their legs. Some had crutches; some had missing arms, or missing legs. And I began to hear God cry out:

Oh, My people! Oh my wounded people! Oh, the wounded ness of My people! Oh My Body from the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness, but wounds, and bruises, and putrefying sores; they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.

These are not physical wounds, but the wounds in your heart, and the wounds in your spirit. And Oh, who can bear a wounded spirit. Oh, who can bear the pain that you have inside? You have covered it, and you have cloaked it about with a shroud, so that others would not see, but I say to you that I see. And I say to you that the shroud that you have covered your wounds, bruises and scars of the past have become to you a shroud of death. For in covering them in this shroud, you have shut Me out, and I cannot come to you by My Spirit because you have shut Me out.

Don’t you know that I bore your sorrow and your grief? Oh there is sorrow and grief in the hearts and spirits of My people. Grieving over dreams lost, grieving over love lost, grieving over what might have been. I see sorrow and grieving all through My Body.

Oh, I see unforgivness, bitterness, anger, and resentment in the hearts and spirits of My people. And in some it has manifested through your physical bodies. How many times did I heal, and then say, “ Your sins are forgiven, go an sin no more?” You thought that I meant sins of the flesh, but I meant the sin in your heart. But, the sin in your heart will even cause you to submit to the sins of the flesh.

I even warned you and told you that if you would not forgive that you would be tormented, in your mind. There are those that can remember the days before the unforgiveness, but cannot remember today. There are those that are tormented in their minds by voices. How will you be free? I made a way for you, and that way is repentance. If you will confess your sin, I will forgive you and cleanse you of all unrighteousness. Oh, all through My Body I see unforgiveness.

I knew you from your mother’s womb, and I know all that has happened to you. I know who wounded you, and how they did it. I know that your bitterness, anger, and resentment have came from the piercing of your heart. I see the wounded child in you that is so hurt, and so afraid. A child that did not learn to trust, because there was no one to trust. A child that was spoken to harshly, and with unkind words. A child that was abused sexually. A child that was not loved, but rejected and abandoned. A child that was left without father or mother. But, I am the Balm of Gilead, and if you will forgive, I will come to you, and I will heal your broken heart, and I will heal your broken spirit. And I will take you up into My arms, and I will nurture you, and I will love you as no other can. And I will breathe new life into you dry bones, and I will breathe new life into your broken heart, and I will breathe new life into your spirit, and you will never be the same again.

I am the God that healeth you, and I am the Christ that died for you to be free, to be whole, and in Me, to be made complete. Oh, come again to the Cross where I laid down My life, and new life you will find. I will even give you resurrection life. I will take the shroud of death from you, and I will raise you up into THE THIRD DAY, into My Glory, and into your purpose, calling, and destiny. For I will use you in the day to reach down into the ditch, and pick up others that have fallen by this way. I will anoint you, and the Oil of Gladness will be upon you, and your days of mourning, of sadness and sorrow, and of grieving will be no more.

I am redeeming My Body, and this is the day of My Resurrection power for those that have been covered with a shroud of death.

"Beloved, Refuse To Allow The Past To Haunt You"
Mar 8, 2003

Marsha Burns

"Beloved, Refuse To Allow The Past To Haunt You"


Beloved, refuse to allow the past to haunt you or dump you down into condemnation. You can do nothing to alter events of the past, but you can learn from your mistakes and go forward with new understanding. Release all that torments you and keeps you bound. Let go of all bitterness and hurt, for you will not be able to move ahead spiritually or be effective in My kingdom until you are free from all resentment. Do not mourn nor weep for that which cannot be changed. Now is the time to forgive and be forgiven.

Religion Versus Relationship

Clay Sikes

Recently while jogging, and quite unexpectedly, the Holy Spirit began speaking to me about R-E-L-I-G-I-O-N in the Christian Church. The Holy Spirit said, "Religion will always create an agenda that serves self (man) and those with a true relationship will always create an agenda that serves Me." As I pondered this, my thoughts seemed to expand as the Holy Spirit opened up the dichotomy between these two opposing forces - religion and relationship.


I Am A God Who Delivers

Olivia Long

You must be alert, watching for if you fail to recognize his activity and his distractions, it will consume both your thoughts and your time away from me. You must drive the vultures away! I have said "to take heed, lest you fall". If one who was so close to Me gave way to pride and fall into sin, so can you. He was Lucifer 'the shining one' ... but as 'the shining one' he got his eyes off Me, the I AM, who is the very source of "brilliance" and instead of giving Me praise, he became proud and boastful. My Beloved, he is bent on destruction and causing you pain.


Inheritance, inheritance, inheritance

Katherine Wells Anderson

Waves upon waves of My glory are about to be released through those who have sought My face. And like the five wise virgins are going to receive a double portion of the oil of My spirit and it will not be taken from them. I am about to release My power on the earth in a way that never been seen before even in the days of Paul and Silas. I am about to gather in the harvest. I am spreading out the net for the harvest.


Freedom From Egypt

Arlette Pollard

The woman listened to the voice of the serpent and her mind, which previously kept her eyes focused on God, began to stray. Her focus began to be taken off of God, and her eye strayed from looking only to the goodness of God, to looking and listening to the beguiling voice of the serpent. As the serpent spoke the great lie, that it was alright to look away from God, and good to listen to him, the woman began to place her own desires above God’s perfect desire. Her eye strayed and her thoughts became self-focused and not God focused.


 Worshipping Your Way Into Covenant Relationship

Clo DiPilato

What we do know is that Abraham bowed his will in total surrender to God. The clearest message regarding worship in all of scripture is the first message about worship. We have not understood worship until we have understood worship as Abraham understood it. Until that point in time, we are only engaging in an appearance and not the true substance of worship. The word "worship" means to bow the will. If you'll run your references in a good Bible concordance and dictionary , you'll find that the very same word used for worship is also used for the word "bow". It means to surrender the will to another. Whenever the word "bow" appears in the word, it is alluding to the fact of obeisance, surrender, submission.


A PLACE OF INTIMACY
Shirley Lise
Jan 29, 2003

riverpub@sgci.com


"Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world." John 17:24

"I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know - God knows.... was caught up to paradise. He heard inexpressible things, things that man is not permitted to tell." 2 Cor. 12:2-4

"Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready: Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear." Rev. 19:7-8

I have designed a place of praise, a habitation to where I am taking My Elect. It is a place way above earthly things in a realm far above. Come up here. Come away with Me. I am calling My Bride up with Me into Heavenly places.

This is a new day. It is a day of joy for those who have followed Me up the mountain and never turned back. I have a place prepared. It has been prepared well in advance. Only those whose hearts are truly seeking Me shall come into this place of divine appointment. In this place is fullness of joy, because the world and all its enticements are not able to affect it.

Come up here with Me into the Heavens. Soar with Me in the heights. I have destined you to come up to this place, to sup with Me, to bask in My presence, to give yourself completely to Me. I am calling forth a Bride who will meet with Me in Heavenly places, in realms of glory. It is in this place that she will be crowned with everlasting joy, where she will walk with kings. I have promised that My glory would fill the Earth and in this day it truly shall, for I am adorning My Bride with the glory of her king and she shall be brilliant. Come before Me with singing. Enter into the depths of My love. Turn your eyes and your heart upward. Do not be content with what you see in the natural realm, but come to Me and I will lift you higher, high above the Earth.

This is the day when My Beloved shall be transformed into a beautiful Bride without spot or wrinkle. As she comes to meet with her king, she will be changed from glory to glory. As she leaves behind the voices and clamour of the world and gazes upward upon Me, I shall take her up and she shall never be the same again, for I am calling My Bride forth, out of worldly mindsets, out of worldly endeavours, even those that seem honourable, because I want to have intimacy with her, that she would would know Me, that she would truly become one with Me.

This is not a new phenomenon. Those who loved Me were taken up into Heavenly realms. Those who truly knew Me were taken up into My presence. John laid his head upon My breast. He entered into intimacy with Me and I took him up and showed him things to come. Enoch walked with God and was no more. I am calling My Bride into this kind of relationship with Me, to come up out of the world to sup with Me, to spend time with Me, to enjoy intimacy with her lover and soon coming king.

Think this not strange. Unless those who claim to know Me enter into this place, they will not be ready for My return, for I am coming soon. The time is short and I am calling My Bride up and away. Soon the door will be closed and those who did not enter will be refused. You ask what the oil represented to the ten virgins who awaited My return? It is intimacy with Me. Those who were not ready had not entered into intimacy with Me. Though they waited for My return, they could not enter because I never knew them. So, do not think the things I am telling you are strange. They aren't of this world because My kingdom is not of this world, nor am I. Yes, the glory is coming, but only those who have met Me in the secret place will be able to carry it. So prepare yourself by seeking My face, by laying at My feet, by coming into My presence, for it is in this place that I will prepare you for My return.


Be Available Only To Me -Yolanda Ballard

Be available at all times because you will never know when you will run into one who is desperate for My loving touch. I will send your way those that are unlovely. They will be cold and hard in appearance because they have protected themselves behind a fortress of steel. You may feel rejected by them because of the forces of darkness that surround them. But don't let that intimidate you. Let My love flow through despite of their first reaction to it. Keep pressing into My presence and let My glory fall around you. They will surely be swept away by the love flowing through My Spirit touching their hearts....penetrating through the barriers of sin.


Prophetic Word for 2003 To the Body of Christ in America

Robert Phillip Butler

While receiving this, I felt a great intensity from the heart of God that depicted the seriousness of this next year and the importance of this next year to the unfolding of God in His plans and purposes. I felt keenly that the intended purposes of God for some individuals and churches in their intended uses, were very close to being aborted and that this year was crucial for decisions. And so this next year is a year that will be marked by the Valley of Decision. Many are in the Valley of Decision. God will place high and great emphasis on the mortifying of the flesh. It is a year of great grace and mercy in these dealings of God.


The Church In 2003

Shirley Williams

This year is no different than the years before, in that, we all want to know what God has planned for the Church in the New Year. Well, certainly there is, to a degree, a going out of the old and a coming in with the new for each and every member of the body of Christ.


The Favor Of God

Greg Manalli

I received a prophetic word that said that this would be a season of God's favor. The prophet said that it appeared like headlines in a newspaper. This heralding of the favor of the Lord would cause many to come to see what God was up to as He was "favoring His church."


Weapons Of Our Warfare

Jeremy Gadd

I had a vision where I was sitting on a lion which had a crown on it's head. I was dressed in World War 1 battle dress - a tin hat and camouflage clothes and wearing a gas mask. "Why do I need a gas mask?" I asked the Lord in the vision. He replied, "Because this is not a battle to be fought with swords and guns. This is chemical warfare. Your enemy is subtle."


All Or Nothing

Esther Thornton

There will be an awakening in the hearts of those who are open and sincere before the Lord that will be startling. It will be as one who have been dosing in sleep, but who now fully awakens to the urgency of the hour. (Rom. 13:11). Those who we have prayed for, for years, will suddenly come to the realization of the true meaning of life and will change drastically; some even superceding those who have been in the faith for years. (Isa. 62:1).


An Open Heaven

David Orton

God localises his presence over the life of an individual, a church, a city, or nation in outpoured blessing and power, in what we often call revival. They are special moments of time when heaven touches earth.


Keep Yourselves And Stand Firm

Susan Cummings

Great distractions have been set up to divert those who are walking according to My Command. Allow nothing to divert you from your assignment, or from your direction. For the pressures will come to cause you to ponder if you are hearing Me right. I say, what have I said to you? Have I not given you My Word? Remain steadfast, and unmoving, and walk on.


Some insights on the religious spirit

Vincent Gallagher

The religious spirit operates when someone has a unconscious mentality of rejection. They have been rejected, usually by a parent, although it can happen in other important relationships. This spirit often finds its way into a persons mind set in childhood...they have to “work” to gain or keep a sense of self -worth. Thus, they are very performance oriented, both in relationship to their own striving as well as evaluating others. They bring this mentality into whatever “faith” or “religion” they adopt. This spirit can manifest in any religious culture, Jewish, Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, etc.


The Cloak of Humility

Michelle Molina

It began as I was praying for someone who is going into a spiritual battle for their soul. Literally. The Spirit spoke to me concerning the battle they are facing, saying to tell them this one word, because it is the key to winning any spiritual battle. This caught my attention. So what is this word? Humility.


Where are the Mantles

Steven Brooks

Many of God’s people desire to walk in a mantle that was worn by a former saint. We are all familiar with the story of how Elisha faithfully served Elijah and received a double portion of the anointing (the mantle is the anointing). Throughout history there have been great saints of God who passed down glorious mantles of anointing, thus allowing a certain gifting to be passed on to the next generation.


The Taming of the Tongue - Leonard Ravenhill

"Keep your tongue a prisoner and your body will go free" and "A long tongue shortens friendships." My mother would also tell us, "Remember, one day you'll answer to God for every word you say."
 


Regarding Halloween

Teresa Seputis

There is a lie and a deception going through My church that Satan is
an extremely powerful and dangerous foe on and around halloween.  The
misconception is that because the world honours and recognizes the
dark and the demonic through their halloween celebration, this activity
somehow empowers that realm.  There is a fear in many believers hearts
that their enemy, the devil, is more powerful than they are at this season.
 


Mighty Warriors

Larry Sloma

I have a lot to say to you.  There is also much to do. For now I call My
wayward children unto Myself.  I am preparing an army after the heart of
David My son.  Mighty warriors who be bring the nations to their knees,
who be bring the hearts of many to the Father, and the spirit of Elijah
to those who are seeking Me still.
 


I Have Not Given You The Spirit Of Fear

Teresa Seputis

When the spirit of fear comes upon you, rebuke it, for it is not
from Me.   I interact with My children from the orientation of
love, and perfect love casts out all fear.  My children do not
have to be afraid of Me, for I am a good God and a loving Father.
 


A Day Of Great Shaking!

Sam Buick

"Beloved, the turmoil in your lives, while many yell, shout, and scream at the evil one for it and express faith in faith hoping that what they are experiencing will simply stop, there are many, many more who see and understand the refining ways of the Lord! The shaking is a mighty shaking both in quality and in quantity. Many, many are being shaken to the very core of their being and everything they cherish and hold dear, everything from belief systems, to idols in their lives are all being exposed to My holy fire!
 


Brokenness & Humility

Kriston L Couchey

Paul understood some things regarding his failures, weaknesses and faults that we as believers today have a hard time comprehending. In "Christianity", how we look on the outside is important to our success. That very mindset is opposed to the moving of God's Spirit and His glory being revealed in us. For some reason we want to focus on the Glory and think that we must stifle or hide any hint of lack or failing on our part.


Fullness Of Time

Glenn H. Jackson
 

"Spiritual pride" is a far greater force and has greater "effect" than a natural or "worldly" pride. The spiritual pride I speak of can only be found in one who has been "born-again". If one of My children fails to enter in by the narrow gate then they "allow" themselves to be guided and influenced by the forces of darkness - ending up in a place wherein "self" is still on the throne of their heart, and thus they are "devoid" of any true spiritual knowledge, and their motivations and goals are not of Me, and the "kingdom" they seek to establish is one wherein they themselves are exalted. I do not say that these ones are "conscious" of their folly; indeed, they have "allowed" themselves to be deluded and thus they can do nothing other than abuse the "authority" they have been given as a child of Mine; and they seek not to establish "My" Kingdom in love, but rather they seek to establish themselves in a position wherein they are continually esteemed by flesh and blood, without any "true" regard for the Truth.


Holy unto God

Elvi Glass

I am extending an invitation to my children to walk on my
highway of holiness. This is for those who walk in my ways,
not the world's ways. It is for those who are fully committed
to me and have it settled in their hearts that I have taken
seat on the throne of their lives. As you walk in my
holiness, I will reveal my glory and splendor to you
so that the world will know that you belong to me.


The Joseph Company

Chuck Elliott

Have you ever been in that place in your life? You know God spoke to you. You keep waiting for that dream to come into fruition. But, it seems you are stopped at ever hand. It could be you are IN THE Joseph COMPANY. You could be facing jealousy, lust, or deception. It could be any number of things and you are even tempted to throw in the towel and say "why try, it's just one thing after another". But don't give up yet. God is in control! He has a plan if you will just trust Him.


The Lord's House Is Called To Order

Lisa Cook

Over this past year I have watched a blanket of haze, a heaviness, a veil lower over the top of this battlefield. In this vision the intense weight of the blanket of haze, the heaviness, the veil became so heavy that it stirred and brought many issues to the surface, both within individual lives and the Corporate Body of Christ. The manifestation of this intense heaviness caused individuals to become so uncomfortable that it brought a heightened awareness of root issues that had caused delay in heart's desires, fulfillment of destiny and purpose within both individual lives and in the Corporate Body of Christ.


Purpose Ignites Power

Clay Sikes

There ‘ARE MANY’ Christians today without purpose, without vision, and without a quest for destiny; and the end thereof is to perish and destruct. As we humble ourselves and pray for a deep abiding hunger for God - a one on one personal relationship, not to be confused with the blessing of God, or the knowledge of God, but for God Himself; as the hunger fills us so too will the purpose. The purpose and will of God will ignite within us as we earnestly seek the God of things, not the things of God (Matthew 6:33).


Protected From The Accuser

Francis Frangipane

How do you handle criticism? How does one protect himself from the "scourge of the tongue" (Job 5:21)? Where is the shelter of the Most High that protects us from the sting of false accusation? Yes, if you are going to be successful in the Lord's work, you must find God's hiding place from one of the most painful weapons in Satan's arsenal: the critical tongue.


An Open Heaven

Todd Bentley

Definition: When the heavens are open we have free access to everything in heavenly realms, a free flowing of Gods abundant graces and ministry power. Ministering under an open heaven is like toiling the soil without labor or sweat on the brow. When heaven is open for you God will be near and heaven will be manifest in the natural " as it is in heaven".


 

Comfort My People

Hollie Moody

As I was going about some daily household chores, a sudden onslaught of feelings and emotions of failure, defeatism, and depression threatened to overwhelm me. I was stunned and shocked by the suddenness of these feelings which threatened to overwhelm me. After years of walking with the Lord, I immediately recognized that this was a spiritual attack and began to pray.
 


Remedy For Control

Kriston Couchey

A major hindrance to the body of Christ fulfilling it's destiny today is the spirit of control. Those who control by usurping authority over the flock are labeled with the latest buzzword: Jezebel! It is true, the goal and power behind this influence is control. However, control is not limited to just some evil person trying to gain access to the places of authority in the body.
 


Those Who Slander

John Paul Jackson

When being interviewed about the length of time it took to invent the light bulb and the thousand of attempts that failed, Thomas Edison was once asked if failing ever discouraged him. "I did not fail thousands of times," Edison replied. "I had thousands of successes. For each one led me closer to my eventual success."

Edison's response struck a chord in my heart. It has served to prod me whenever I feel that I have fallen short of what I had intended to accomplish.
 


To Him That Overcomes

Chip Brogden

Whenever I speak or write on the subject of the Overcomers I always preface my remarks by saying that overcoming is the normal Christian life. God has not created an elite group of super-spiritual people within the Church who have some special "anointing" or power. I am well aware that some people teach and believe that the Overcomers are a special class of people that will rise up and exercise great authority over the earthly kingdoms of this world - even over their spiritually immature brothers and sisters. We reject that on the basis that every believer, whether they know it or not, is already complete and is already blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ (Colossians 2:10; Ephesians 1:3).
 


sugar of pride.
Dave Howe
Sep 11, 2002

THE SUGER OF PRIDE. (updated )

Pride is like sugar in your spiritual fuel tank - It clogs you up inside - Clogs up your heart. If you put sugar into a fuel tank - The sugar dissolved in the fuel slowly clogs up the engine as it uses this contaminated fuel until suddenly the engine breaks down - The driver did not know that an enemy had put sugar in his fuel tank.

Pride does the same to us in the spirit - You may not know that pride has got into your heart until you fall. Watch your hearts - Watch the enemy does not put the sugar of pride in your fuel tank. The only way to stop this is to stay humble before the Lord.

Stay pure - Keep your fuel pure - Keep your hearts pure. For pride comes before a fall - The Lord opposes the proud - But the humble he lifts up. Repent - Submit yourselves to God - Then resist the devil and he will flee from you - For it was through pride that the devil fell from heaven.

Watch your hearts when the Lord is using you - Give all the Glory to the Lord. Watch for the fear and favor of man is like a snare - Is like sugar to your hearts. Fear God – For the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.

Also sugar rots your teeth – Which makes your breath smell. So when you speak – Those around you soon know about it. The sugar pride makes you stink before God – Even thought it is sweet tasting to you.

Sugar is used to sweeten that which tastes bad – So that you eat what you would of rejected – Eat bad things – For sugar makes you fat – Lazy and gives you heart disease. It tastes nice in your mouth - But rots your insides – So you may not see the damage until its to late – For by then you would have had a heart attack and died. Many promising ministries and lives have been destroyed in this way as agendas – Boasting - Lording it over others – Thinking we have a superior revelation which entitles or places us above others. When this happens we do not have Gods true love – But only the love of self. The sad thing about this is that person does not know this.

For just as we have to watch our natural hearts –The same also applies to our spiritual hearts.

Let us repent of our pride – Let us humble ourselves before God – For God resists the proud - But gives grace to the humble. Humble yourselves under Gods Mighty Hand, That he may lift you up in due time.

Therefore, prepare your minds for action; Be self-controlled; Set you hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. As obedient children, Do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is Holy, So be Holy in all you do; For it is written; Be Holy, because I AM Holy.

Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for your brothers, Love one another deeply, From the heart. For you have been born again, Not of perishable seed, But of imperishable, Through the living and enduring word of God. For, all men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; The grass withers and the flowers fall, But the word of the Lord stands for ever.

And this is the Word that was preached to you.

Therefore rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, Hypocrisy, Envy, And slander of every kind. Like newborn babies, Crave pure spiritual milk, So that by it you may grow up in your salvation, Now that you have tasted that the Lord is Good.

( 1 Peter 5 v 6 - 1 Peter 1 v 13 – 15 - 1 Peter 1 v 22 – 25 – 1 Peter 2 v 1 -3. )

Let us not stink because of the sugar of pride – But let our lives be as a sweet smelling incense rising up before the Lord.

Remember God resists the proud – But gives grace to the humble. Stay pure - Watch your hearts - Don’t get clogged up with the sugar of pride. Keep your fuel pure – Keep your hearts clean.

The Vision Of The Great Hall

Susan Cummings

I am standing looking at the multitudes that have emerged before me. They have come out from the ground and have come forth at the command of the Lord. They have a soft looking garment on them. It is kind of a creamy appearance and it shimmers in the sunlight. They have a gold type of rope or cord around their waist. There are men, women, and children, all bearing the same Glory.
 


The Religious Spirit

Todd Bentley

Most people that are set free from a religious spirit, or religious ways, are not actually walking free like Jesus. Instead, they simply switch from religion to rebellion. The heart begins to be in rebellion toward religious people and religious churches rather than the religious spirit. The religious spirit always tries to get people to camp in one place. It will hold on to that which is familiar and comfortable rather than moving on from glory to glory. Remember Peter, under the inspiration of satan, tried to rebuke Jesus because He was going to the cross to suffer and pay for the sin of mankind. But Jesus turned and rebuked satan in Peter because it was actually Peter operating with a religious spirit. His mindset was that of man rather than that of Christ.


The Reality of Spiritual Seasons

Clay Sikes

One of Satan’s major deceptions against the Church has been to block the revelation of spiritual seasons in our lives.

"This is what the Lord says; Stand at the crossroads and LOOK; ask for ancient paths, and WHERE THE GOOD WAY IS, and WALK IN IT, and you will find rest for your souls" (Jeremiah 6:16).

I recently experienced a retrospective revelation of sorts in that in one brief moment I saw various events in my life to include the time leading up to and including the time after certain events occurred.

 


The Power Of The Cross

Deb Davis

On October 23rd, 1996, the Heavenly realm opened all around me, and I experienced an open vision with Jesus Christ. My senses were awakened to such a heightened level that everything ­ sight, sound, smell, touch - became extremely sharp, clear, intense, and real.

The Lord stood beside me as I lay on an exam table in an Occupational Therapy office where I was being treated for chronic, severe pain. He did not speak, but I was able to perceive His every thought, and knew that He perceived mine, as well. His presence was awe-striking. Everything about Him and around Him was vibrantly alive, and I longed to touch His arms and hands, or press my face into His hair.
 


Spirit of Leviathan

Todd Bentley

In the last few weeks in prayer, I have come up against a spirit called Leviathan. I have recently heard other ministries talk about this spirit. One pastor recently in a vision saw this serpent crawling into the church basement. I believe this demonic power works hand in hand with the spirit of Jezebel. Some have even had a vision of them both hand in hand. When we get victory over Jezebel we need to watch out for this Leviathan spirit. There are only a few direct references to this spirit in the scripture, but as I have studied out these passages I have received some revelation on how this spirit attacks. Who is Leviathan? How do you expose and counter attack his assaults?
 


Just Thinking - 1a - #24 It's Sunday . . . But Monday's Coming!

Ken R. Anderson OblOSB Nov.


....and lately I have been thinking about how easy it is to minister out of the anointing, the call and gifting, rather than out of a place of communion with God. In fact you can do so and feel the thrill of God's presence and power flowing through you mightily, you can do so and be a tremendous blessing to people, and (most dangerous of all) you can do so and believe that all is well and that God is pleased. I am sure God is delighted when His people are ministered to, but He wants more. Whether we minister from the pulpit or the pew, God is raising the standard whereby He will be satisfied. He wants more than for us to flow in our anointing. He is calling each of us into a place of intimacy with Him.
 


I Will Shake My Church

Stephen Hanson

(In prayer today the Lord had me look at Ezekiel 6-8 which speaks of the idolatry that Israel experienced in the temple, and that Ezekiel was shown that was occurring with the priests. Many unspeakable things were occurring with the Israelites at the time. However, I believe that we fall prey to the same type of thing today. What are our idols? What things occupy our hearts and minds more than God? These are the types of things that we must examine, and these are the types of things that God is wanting to rid the church and His body of.)


Heavenly Portals

John Paul Jackson

God delights in revealing Himself to those who love His appearing and to those who watch for His coming. One of the marvelous mysteries of God is the existence of portals -- doors and passageways -- leading to and from the heavenly realms. When you are standing in a portal, it feels like an open Heaven.
 


Feeling Overworked And Under Paid

Sandy Warner

My Beloved Wife, I have been trying to tell you something for some time now, but I have been unable to get you to seriously listen to Me. It grieves Me to see you work so hard to produce. You work until you collapse, then you come to Me for help. Oh how I want to be a part of your daily load, not merely at the beginning or ending of each day! I want to walk with you each step, for when you divide the load in fellowship with Me, your part becomes light and easy. My grace is always sufficient.
 


Discerning the Body of Christ

Clo DiPilato

I am at work within My people to agitate you into the place of understanding that truly I AM a "many-membered Body" and even as the expression of nature is varied and with a multiplicity of facets and expressions even so I reveal Myself with fullness and variety through My people, and when you begin to understand this you will no longer bite or devour or doubt or cast dispersion upon one another, but you will begin to see that even as a diamond with many rays of light reflected and refracted out of the brilliance catching the light and the glory of the Sun (Son) , even so I reveal Myself through this many-membered Body.
 


Confronting The Spirit Of Python

Todd Bentley

The last few weeks the Holy Spirit has led me to expose the spirit of python in the church today. In this article I want to explain how this spirit works. What does it looks like? How do you overcome its power, which could be affecting many churches, whole regions and individual believers?
 


Checking the Basics

Yolanda Ballard

Listen closely to what I have to say to you. For there are many who believe that if they only search to find Me with all their heart, that they will be able to escape the great tribulation that is prepared for those who deny that I am the only begotten Son of God. But this is not true. It takes more that just searching to find Me, and it takes more than just confessing that you know Me to have a relationship with Me. Yes, you need to search to find Me with all your heart, but you must stay in My presence and commune with Me when you find Me.
 


Another Gospel

Joseph Herrin

I have been thinking much lately about what distinguishes the Babylonian church spoken of in Revelation 18 from Zion, the church of the Overcomers. In this hour Yahweh is calling many of His people to come out of the Babylonian church system so that they will not "participate in her sins and partake of her plagues" (Revelation 18:4).


Admonishment For The End Times

Yolanda Ballard

Distinguish this day the difference between the lust of the flesh and the pride of man. There is not much, but one thing I want to say to you is that once you fall into the snare of prideful living, it is very hard to break away from it. The snare is very deep and very powerful to escape. It overpowers every area of your thinking. Your eyes become dim and the desires of your heart become tainted with its poison. But rejoice this day for I come to set you free. I come to open your eyes and purge your heart of all pridefulness and selfishness
 


UNDERSTANDING THE RELIGIOUS SPIRIT
Sandy Warner
Jun 12, 2002

UNDERSTANDING THE RELIGIOUS SPIRIT
The king of religious spirits has been around for as long as there has been religion. He has studied the religions of the world and how they are received by mankind. He has studied every detail of My anointed chosen ones and has observed their relationship with Me. He has studied language, mannerisms, appearance, voice, mysteries, dreams, visions, and all details in order to adapt and masquerade as the Holy Spirit.

It is vital that you understand the religious spirit, for in the days to come I will separate the profane from the holy. The religious spirit will manifest in supernatural gatherings where My Presence in strong. I will open your eyes to recognize and perceive its influence upon Christians who are taken over by this deception. This spirit may speak words and function very close to the real thing, so similar that you may not recognize the source. But the difference is life and death.

The religious spirit is most openly recognized in that it copies, mimics, rehearses, manufactures, makes facsimiles, and generates an image of the Holy Spirit. The religious spirit, like a parrot, simply copies what is around it. Religious activity, when inspired by the religious spirit, yields death and rotten fruit. A religious spirit will take advantage of the generosity of those around. This spirit will seek to monopolize the focus of others by parroting what My Spirit is authentically doing at the same time.

My Spirit brings life and is creative and never runs out of new and fresh ways to communicate My message. Inspired relationship as opposed to religious activity, yields flavorful and lasting fruit. Inspiration through My Spirit does not demand attention or monopolize, rather it yields to others in loving consideration and favor.

"And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people." (Dan 8:23-24 KJV)

Come and ravish His heart

Deborah Voetberg

By His Holy Spirit He is pouring over the details of our hearts to prepare us for a flooding of His Spirit that through us, He'll touch this world with His love, purity, righteousness, compassion and healing. Yes the miracles are coming in a greater measure and signs and wonders will turn the eyes of this world upon the Body of Christ and see her as she was meant to be portrayed. Glorious and full of His righteousness. But the lawlessness and carnality that has so been the face we have shown the world must be repented of and rejected, for it has nothing to do with who we are. Living temples of the Most High God.
 


Heaven's Deepest River

Ron McGatlin

I was exposed to a brief glimpse of the unfiltered pure heart of the Father. It was an overwhelming shock to know His heart - His feelings about His children - His desires - His responses to His children - the very affect we have on the heart of Father God astonished me and broke me to nothing. What I encountered in the heart of the Father has consumed my life.
 


Jezebellic Influence In The Church

Robert I Holmes

I have recently been preparing for a seminar on overcoming the powers of the occult. In it we cover witchcraft and by necessity, occult practices. However during my preparation I found it necessary to include a study on both Lucifer and Jezebel. Jezebel mentioned in the same class as witchcraft. Although she is nowhere expressly linked with spell casting or magic, the Scripture testifies, "There can be no peace, so long as the many whoredoms and sorceries of Jezebel continue" (2 Kings 9:22).
 


Love Perfected

Sandy Kohen

Accept My blessings and My comfort, but do not despise My sterner dealings. All are working toward your ultimate perfection. Do you hope to be made perfect apart from the correction process? Do you expect to bear large fruit with out the pruning process? No My children either bend in submission to My hand, or you will break in rebellion. Godly sorrow yields the good fruit of repentance. But if you will be brittle and unyielding, you shall know a grief in spirit for which there is no remedy. Keep a flexible spirit so that I may mold you and shape you freely. So that I can teach you readily and not be detained by your resistance. I need disciplined sons and daughters.
 


Purity Opposes Perversion

Denise Lagrimas
 

While praying the other morning, the Lord showed me a snake and this snake had two heads: One appearing female and one male. It's tail was coiled and gripping tightly to something too dark to distinguish. As I stared at the snake I noticed upon the snakes neck was a thick chain and on it was written "lies". As I looked at it for sometime I asked the Lord, "why are you showing me this, what does this mean and what is this snake, why is it both male and female?"
 


The Gold, The Glory, The Unction, The Power

Clo DiPilato

God really wants prophets to be seeking Him for a very clear word from Him regarding finances and stewardship of finances and how they handle what the Lord brings into their ministries and how they dispense funds and especially how they receive funds from God's people.


The Heart Of A Psalmist

Yolanda Ballard

I believe worship is our highest weapon of warfare. When we lift Jesus up, He takes the battle in His own hands. All weapons formed against us fall to the wayside. All glory to the Lamb of God who sits on the throne who has set the pattern for us to follow and has given us the grace to walk in it. I submit the following as a heart check for us all who are true worshippers of the Lord. Blessings! Yolanda


Warfare

Diane Bahler

I am afraid that the current state of the church is in the same condition. There is a vague sense that we are fighting for "souls" and "revival" but most people are truly ambivalent about their faith when it comes down to laying down their lives. Janis Joplin sang that "freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose." Most people who call themselves Christians are not truly ready to fight for freedom because they don't want to lose anything in the process. They can't see that we have already lost it all and that what we are fighting for is to take back what has been stolen from us. They have forgotten where they were born and are content to live in Egypt. They can no longer see that Promised Land where we owe our allegiance. Most are willing to die in slavery believing that the only escape is to "go to heaven" not realizing that heaven is meant to come to earth.
 


Your Best

Bonita Chapman
 

So stop waiting until that ambiguous, unreal future time of your "best" to let me have My way. Just give me what you have. Allow Me to take that poor thing that you consider to be unworthy of Me and watch what I will do with it. My hands can take a lump of coal and turn it into a diamond. I do it every day in what you call the "natural", and also in the spiritual.


Jezebel

Rich Elliott
 

In a discussion of Jezebel, I do believe it is appropriate to speak of Jezebel, but not a "spirit" of Jezebel. Jezebel cannot be cast out, but is a manifestation of a certain set of sins, demonic spirits and characteristics. Jezebel was a person. There are people today that manifest the same characteristics of Jezebel.


Jezebel Wants your Vineyard

Clo Dipilato

Many have concluded that "Jezebel" is someone with a strong spirit who is an irritant to the pastor or prophet and his vision. Many have been labeled, and had to battle this accusation when in truth the Lord was using that person to bring conviction to keep a pastor from going down the wrong road in his ambitions. Teachings and words about Jezebel have very conveniently armed many in the ministry with a scapegoat for all their problems in their churches, and though they will say it's a "spirit", they are quick to find the resident "body" in which such "spirit" resides. The current rave and attention to "Jezebel" has probably brought more unnecessary division to the household of faith than any other present understanding of the word of God.
 


Fisher Of Men

Bobby Conner
 

I was awakened by the sensation that the covers were being pulled away from my shoulders. Half asleep, my first impression was that my wife was trying to rearrange the covers. However, she lay quietly sleeping by my side. Quickly I turned to the other side of the bed, and it was at this point that the Lord spoke to me in a very firm yet gentle voice, "Get up! It is time to go fishing!"

 


Rest And Its Relationship To 2002

Clay Sikes

There is a great transfer of wealth coming to those in the Body of Christ who are dead to money. I sense that we are at the tail end of an initial work (the prosperity message) that has obviously been more flesh than Spirit. As with Abraham's wife Sara, who had God's direction but lacked His timing or specific course, the first attempt at prosperity (the present prosperity message) produced many Ishmaels, appealing to greed, self-righteousness, and doctrines of man directing God. Its root is impatience and lust - "Its my time to get my stuff from my God!"


The World's System Exposed

Clay Sikes

Many within the Body of Christ have experienced failure upon failure in many aspects of life. The trials of Christians have been most severe – failing businesses, ministries, churches, Christian schools, relational difficulties, lost jobs, lost opportunities; the list goes on and on, yet never before have we heard so much from both the local church and TV pulpit about how "blessed" we are to be. I do not disagree with this message as such, providing the message places proper emphasis upon the "Lord of the blessing" rather than "the blessing." However, it is fair to point out that a major contradiction exists between what is being preached and reality within the Body, especially in the United States. Few Christian leaders have come forward to acknowledge the horrendous problems the Body faces. To constantly be told that we are to be "blessed," yet not acknowledge the difficulties we face or provide solutions to the problem has been frustrating. Many within the Body feel this frustration, and as myself, are crying out to God for answers. Perhaps God’s word provides us with a clue – "We must go through many hardships to enter the Kingdom of God" (Acts 14:22).
 


WHY SO FEW REVIVALS    What the Church must do to gain revival - Charles G Finney

Now, my dear brethren, I hope and trust that you will not be offended with me if I speak my mind on this subject with great plainness. The circumstances of the Church, the decline of revivals, and the whole aspect of the Christian world, demand it. I have seen in the public papers various reasons assigned for this declension of revivals, this absence of revival influence, this powerless preaching of the gospel. 


What does religion look like

Becky McLendon

I have been reading an excellent series of articles from www.gospelcom.net which speak quite eloquently about the dangers of being religious. In a nutshell, the religious can be spotted by the following characteristics.......


Warfare Dream

Denise Lagrimas

When I awoke this morning I realized that I had been fighting in my sleep all night. I had been dreaming of multitudes of men and women in camouflage clothing wielding swords, not guns. They were in intense battle with an unseen enemy (At least I did not see them...yet). I heard the words "He who dwells in the secret place shall abide under the shadow of the almighty He shall take cover under my wings and I shall shield him from the wiles of the enemy". I saw many who became weary from battle turn and drop to their knees, then it was as if a great wing came from the heavens and engulfed (covered) them........


Walk by Faith not Sight

Yolanda Ballard

My ways are not your ways. I did not bring you up in a way that you are able to understand My ways. I brought you up that you may trust Me, and walk by faith and not by sight. Every time you look at circumstances that surround your trials and doubt My faithfulness, you are allowing the enemy to trip you up and rob you of the soon manifestation of My promise to you. Yes, every time you look and see things that do not line up to what you expect to receive and doubt, you are hindering My work in your life. For I want you to trust Me and rely on Me that I know what I am doing and that what I am doing is on your behalf.


Two Thrones

Denise Lagrimas

As I was awakened at 3 am I began waiting on the Lord and I went out in the spirit and I saw two thrones in a vision and these thrones were huge except one really wasn't a throne yet looked like one. I saw thousands and thousands of people standing in line waiting to go before the thrones and those who sat upon the thrones. The line seemed endless as they went one by one. When the person first in line would get ready to go before the ones who sat upon the thrones there would be two great angels standing on either side and they would look into the person and speak "Are you ready?" as soon as these words were spoken the persons clothes would turn color, there were only three colors I saw one was white, red, and black......


The Real War

Clay Sikes

Somewhat astonished, I asked my host (Satan), "Why would God’s Army not use this powerful weapon?" He laughingly replied, "They are lazy and ignorant of its power; if they only knew what happens to us when they gather in groups and pray their intercessory prayers. Even those who solo this way cause great harm to our mission. We cannot understand their words, which are prayed directly to God, and these prayers move his hand against us and cause them to have great faith. We are virtually helpless against those who truly operate in faith. They often speak directly to us with the authority of God, rendering our operations against them to no effect. Those who pray this way are feared greatly by all who are under the General’s command: Even the General fears them."


Salvation, Deliverance, and Healing

Todd Bentley

One of the reasons we do not see the sick healed is because every time we pray for the sick, there is still a part of us that says, "Lord, if it be Your will." "Lord, if it be Your time." Every time we pray for the sick, or every time somebody asks us to pray for them, we say, "Yes, I will pray." We lay hands on them and pray. It sounds like one of the most powerful prayers. But, really somewhere in our heart we are still saying, "Lord, is it Your will?" "Lord, is it Your time?" a small shadow of doubt.


Reality of the Holy Spirit

Todd Bentley

What I am going to share with you is something that I believe is going to launch you into the deep things of God and cause you to probe deeper into the things of God that you’ve never been able to search before. If you will get a hold of this message, it will make you hungry for the presence of God. If you do not become hungry and completely desperate for an encounter with the Holy Ghost after this message, then you’re going to have to ask God if you really know Him. I am going to stir you into a level of Holy desperation that will cause you to pursue God in a way that you have never pursued God before. You have to understand that you are only scraping the surface of what you can encounter from the presence of the Lord. I am only scraping the surface of what I can encounter in the Glory of God. I am so hungry to see God’s people become literally saturated in the presence of the Holy Spirit. I believe that there is something in the presence of God that we can have from the moment we wake up until the moment we go to bed.


A Christmas Prophecy

By Bill Somers

This article is a look at the first coming of Jesus as described and Matthew, Luke, and also Isaiah. We need to see how it is a type or prophecy of his Second Coming. That is to say things that happened at his first coming are foreshadows of what will happen at his second coming. Let me make it clear that most of these points refer to Jesus coming spiritually to his Church in the form of a great outpouring leading to a great harvest. This takes place during and after a time of judgment on the Church.


From Formula To Relationship

By Clay Sikes

Like so many in the Body of Christ, I was caught up in the prosperity message and much of what the Word of Faith teachings profess. I combined basic Word of Faith teachings with the prosperity message and learned to operate my faith in my faith. At one point I had great faith in my faith, watching my financial condition change to the tune of millions of dollars: I was simply amazed at me, and my great faith, even developing pride in the faith I HAD EARNED through my arduous efforts. As a result of these teachings, I would often quote the same scripture hundreds of times, posting it on every available edifice so as to catch my eye and remind me to quote it again and again. Ritualistically, I, like other of my Christian contemporaries, would run around asking, "Have you done your confessions today?" We were taught when asked, "always tell people you are blessed!" This is the principle of "calling those things that be not as though they were." "Speak the desired result," we were taught. "Whatever you need whenever you need it, simply find out what the Bible says and begin to say it and you can have it."


Deaf & Dumb

By Todd Bentley

There is a stronghold over North America called unbelief. There is a spirit that operates with that stronghold whose goal and function is to make you spiritually and physically deaf and dumb so that you cannot hear the voice of God and receive revelation. The way that this spirit accomplishes its work is by becoming a stronghold of the mind, better known as a mindset. It will make you dumb so that you cannot understand the truth of God's word, or what the Spirit is saying. This spirit is connected to learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder (ADD), dyslexia, memory conditions, concentration, spiritual deafness, and physical deafness. Though you have ears to hear, you cannot hear.


To This One I Will Look

By Francis Frangipane

Of all virtues, Jesus elevated meekness above the others. Why? Humility is the door opener to grace: no virtue enters our lives except that humility requests it come. Without humility, we have no sense or attachment to our personal need; we see no reason to change or appropriate future grace.


When the Church Went Off Track

By Kathie Walters

As the church grew in various cities, it ceased to become a "family" and turned into a kind of "establishment." The final nail in the church coffin was the fact that Emperor Constantine kindly issued the Edict of Milan, officially ending the persecutions and tolerating the church. Then came "US" and "THEM", priest and laity. The problem was that 98% of the church was "them", and so the professionals took over. The rest learned to sit and be quiet and join in singing when told to. They learned to add something to the meeting- afterwards- at home or in the foyer, but not in the meeting.


Embracing Jesus (The Power Of The Blood)

By Bill Burns

The Lord recently spoke this word to me, "If My people will embrace Me, My blood will meet their every need, and they will have victory over all of the works of the enemy." The word embrace means more than just accept Jesus as Savior. It means to clasp or hold in the arms; to hug; to surround.


Awaken To Destiny

By Clay Sikes

The word of faith movement taught us to know who we are in Christ, now our Lord DESIRES US TO KNOW WHO HE IS IN US. When WE begin to know who HE is in us, and GAIN KNOWLEDGE THAT HE WANTS TO WORK THROUGH US, we will begin to see HIS PURPOSE AND POWER OPERATE IN US. It is not so important that we know who we are in Christ as much as WHO HE IS IN US. When we truly recognize that it is not about us, but Him who lives in us and His will, we can with confidence, speak His word into circumstances by the leading of His Spirit and see the circumstances change. “I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow.” 


Problem-A Powerless Church-Solution-Change

By Clay Sikes

Step one in resolving the problem is recognizing and accepting that anyone who has accepted Jesus as Lord must also understand that they have a destiny to fulfill, a part to play in this move of God. Any activity short of God’s plan for our lives (destiny) will not fulfill us, will not produce the continuing joy of the Lord in us, and will not sustain us financially or relationally or any other way.


Filling Church Buildings

 By David Walters

The Lord then answered me and said, "I am not interested in filling church buildings." "I have never been interested in filling church buildings, for it has never been on my agenda My desire and my agenda is not fill church buildings, but to fill the whole earth with My glory. 


Clarion Call The Ark Within Your Heart 

 By Arlette Pollard

"There are many of My children who have partaken of My light, My Son, but refuse to move out of the cave that they have allowed themselves to become accustomed to. Protective surroundings where they feel safe and secure. Inside the cave of familiarity, they have convinced themselves that just a little of My light shining upon their lives is enough revelation of My truth to satisfy their need and desire for Me. 


Am I The Healer Of All

By Olivia Long

Beloved, it is MY WILL to heal. To heal every area of your life, whether it be physical, emotional, spiritual, financial - to heal all!!! I have a covenant with you, and MY covenant is a covenant of redemption, therefore it is a 'healing covenant'. I have given MY love letter to you, and from Genesis to Revelation, I have expressed My willingness AND My desire to heal MY PEOPLE !!! I AM THE HEALER, not just over your physical body, but all areas of your life. This is MY promise to you, and I keep MY promises! My Beloved Children, My Son paid sin's penalty and made you right standing with Me but He also made available your healings. HE bore your sickness AND your pain! You believe that I forgive your sins, why is it so hard to believe that I can heal any area of your life? From the very instant that "I" saved you, My purpose has been to heal you. Healing the physical, mental, emotional, financial, whatever circumstances that you are experiencing.


Dunamis Power

By Todd Bentley

I want to share with you what I call "The Four Levels of Healing." I've begun to move in miracles and healings the last two and a half years, and on that journey which has been an adventure, it's really been a pilgrimage. It' s been about contending and warring for the release of the ministry of Jesus and the kingdom of God, and I'm going to share with you how I came into the process of healing. How I came into the miracle release of God's Dunamis power. Here are the four levels of healing.


To Delight In Hiddenness

By Francis Frangipane

Jesus lived solely for the glory of God. We, however, too often seek the glory and praise of man. In spite of the fact that Jesus repeatedly affirmed that the Father, who sees in secret, will reward us openly (Matt 6), we remain offended if we do not receive credit for our good deeds. This quest for recognition can become a source of wrong motives and failed endeavors; it can give a place to jealousy, pride and selfish ambition if we are not careful.
