Church Shift

One of the thinking shifts we as the body of Christ must make in this new era is related to God’s house. The Church is not a building we go to, it’s a people we are. Once we realize we are the Church, then we will start to operate in the authority we have been given. This mindset shift will be difficult for many, but is necessary for the kingdom of God is not brick and mortar buildings but flesh and blood people being built together as a holy habitation. The head of this house is Jesus the Messiah. Kingdom leaders are going to build flesh and blood houses not brick and mortar buildings.

Hebrews 3:6 “The Messiah is over God’s house as a son. What is that house? It’s us—those of us who hold on tightly to the free delight and confidence of our hope.” (Kingdom New Testament)

Treasures

The word of God is like a treasure chest. The more you open it the more treasures you discover. This morning I’m praying Psalm 103 and the layered treasures are stunning. We are consistently reminded of the two benefits in this Psalm but did you know there are five benefits we are not to forget?

Psalm 103:2-5 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget none of His benefits;

1. Who pardons all your iniquities,

2. Who heals all your diseases;

3. Who redeems your life from the pit,

4. Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion;

5. Who satisfies your years with good things,

Not only are we not to forget any of these benefits we are also to remember the reason we are not to forget these benefits.

Psalm 103:5 “So that your youth is renewed like the eagle.”

Today is a great day to remember the benefits of the lord because when your soul is reminded of these benefits it will realize there is nothing to complain about. For his benefits meet every need we have, fulfill every desire we long for, and we have access to these benefits. Open your mouth and declare the benefits of God for your life, for your family, for your nation.

Can You See It?

Did you see what happened this weekend?

One new man (Ephesians 2:14-16) prayed together on Yom Kippur (Saturday) for the restoration of our nation. Jonathan Cahn (Jew) and Franklin Graham (Gentile) led thousands of people in person and online in repentance for restoration of our nation in Washington DC.

On the same day, a “Deborah” (Judges 4) was nominated to be on the Supreme Court of the United States. Our President needs her help to defeat many of the invisible enemies in our nation. No wonder she is a spirit filled believer, a wife, a mother, and a judge.

Wide open spaces are holy places and God is on the move restoring nations. Can you see it?

Choose Life

Rejoicing is more fun than ranting and raving.
Hope feels better than depression.
Resurrection has more life than death.
Love has more authority than hate.
Righteousness has more power than wickedness.
Grace gives more freedom than condemnation.
Honor produces more than disrespect.
Forgiveness is cleaner than unforgiveness.
Glory tells a better story than sin.
Healing speaks a better word than sickness.

We all get to choose where we live and I’ve lived in both places listed above. I can tell you with confidence abundant life is only found by remaining in Jesus. I choose life!

Deuteronomy 30:15 “See, I have set before you today life and prosperity, and death and adversity.”

Deuteronomy 30:19-20 “I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants, by loving the LORD your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him; for this is your life and the length of your days, that you may live in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.”

Jumping the Gun

The temptation to do naturally what God has spoken and wants to do supernaturally is strong. Often we miss the mark because the Lord shares with us what He wants to do supernaturally but we seek to execute it naturally, so it never reaches the glory God intended for it. Resist the temptation to do it naturally for God wants to do many supernatural things.

Zechariah 4:6-7 “Then he said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel saying, ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the LORD of hosts. ‘What are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain; and he will bring forth the top stone with shouts of “Grace, grace to it!”’”

Pray

In prayer this morning the Lord opened my ears to hear in the spirit the hearts cries of men and women who recognize they have aligned themselves with a losing team. The ache in them is because they’ve gained the whole world, but lost their soul and now they see it.

The challenge they are facing is what they are going to have to sacrifice to get out. They have built their whole life around a losing lie and they hadn’t seen it until now. To get out would mean great loss and for some even death because of how controlled they are by the system.

I can hear their anguish in the spirit, they see where their alignment is leading them and they want out but the price of that decision is very high. I heard some specific names and prayed for the Lord to make a way of escape to snatch them from the fire. They want out, but their so deep in. I kept hearing the Lord assure them it will be worth the sacrifice, but the choice is theirs.

We are in a time of escape, rescue and deliverance right now. Many see what’s coming and will jump ship before the “Titanic” goes down.

Pray my friends for God knows the hearts cry of those who want out but recognize the price they are going to have to pay and it scares them. Pray they see the pearl of great price and leave it all for they see His value!

Correct Response Needed

When hearing the voice of God it is important to understand if its a command to obey, a counsel to discuss, a conversation to enjoy or a correction to confess. Once we learn what God is saying, it makes responding accurately possible. For example, If we respond to a correction as though it’s just a conversation we will not confess (1 John 1:9) and repent so we can be healed. Or if we think a command from God is optional for us we miss the blessing obedience brings (Deuteronomy 28). A correct response comes from an accurate assessment of what God is saying. It is critical that we respond appropriately to what God is speaking.

And the Walls Came Tumbling Down

Saturday morning at 10:40am CST Rosh Hashannah began in Israel and I went out in my backyard to blow the shofar with them to inaugurate the feast. I declared the wall of the iron and clay kingdom has fallen. I sensed the wall fall inside of me and knew it was now time to see.

What did I see…

1. At 11am here in my city the tornado sirens went off, but no tornado.

2. At 11:15am Pena Ramiro is preaching at Glory of Zion’s conference and shares a slide that speaks of a Rabbi that lived 600 years ago. This Rabbi said the 4th kingdom in Daniels vision, the iron and clay kingdom would fall at the end of 5780.

3. My mom who is an unbeliever, knows nothing about Jewish feasts, sends me a text to wish me a Happy Rosh Hashanna.

4. Before the last day of 5780 ended RBG died.

5. A 4.5 magnitude earthquake strikes So. California

This is what I saw the day the iron and clay kingdom fell once and for all. Everything is changing!

Prophetic Accuracy

On Saturday morning at 2:07am the Lord woke me up saying, “Lioness arising.” As I laid there I knew Lisa Bevere had a book called that so I said, yes Lord and tried to go back to sleep but the words “Lioness arising” kept repeating in my head. I knew there was more to these words.

I learned when Lisa Bevere heard this from the Lord she saw a lioness lying on its side on a pedestal with the inscription Numbers XXIII. I said to the Lord, okay message received. This morning the Lord brought me to Numbers 23-25 and said, “An agenda and anxiety are enemies of prophetic accuracy.”

We have heard a lot of “prophetic words” but much of it has been from an agenda or anxiety but now we are about to hear lionesses arising with prophetic accuracy and they will speak it confidently because the words don’t originate with them.

Numbers 24:12-13 “Balaam said to Balak, “Did I not tell your messengers whom you had sent to me, saying, ‘Though Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not do anything contrary to the command of the LORD, either good or bad, of my own accord. What the LORD speaks, that I will speak’?”

Feast of Trumpets 5781

Yesterday began the Feast of Trumpets with the Innaguration of the new year 5781. God has been making announcements in a major way already and we still have another day. Open wide your ears to hear and your eyes to see for God Himself is announcing the fall of the iron and clay kingdom once and for all! #Daniel2 #Daniel7
