MINDBLOWING LOVE

5/28/2015

Something happened to me...You touched me. Something happened to me and I can't act like it didn't happen. You touched me and made me whole. You touched my soul. You touched my mind. You touched my wounded places. Every stone opened the Heavens. Every work of iniquity against me opened the Heavens. Every spiritual gunshot open the Heavens and when they opened I saw You... and when I saw You my mind was blown. Because the Heavens opened I wanted You even more. Something happened...love happened...mercy happened...forgiveness happened...trust happened...faith happened...longsuffering happened...a miracle happened...YOU happened to me....What happened is ...I said yes...What happened is... I surrendered...What happened is...I wanted more...I had to have more...of YOU! #Thankyouforlovingme #allin #fullycommitted #alovelikenoother

THE POWER OF A TESTIMONY

Rev 12:11
and they overcame him by the blood of the lamb, and by the Word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Rev 19:10
...for the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophesy

I remember when I first received the Holy Spirit. I had been saved for some years. I would read the Word of God and I looked forward to Sunday morning worship service. But the true intimacy that comes with the gift of the Holy Spirit was lacking. I didn't receive the Holy Ghost at a happy time. In fact, everything seemed to be going wrong. My personal life was a mess, there seemed to always be drama on the job, and I had just lost my God father who was my trusted confidant. There was always people around but inside there was loneliness and spiritual hunger that did remain.

One day as I sat by myself eating lunch, a co-worker approached me. They didn't know me (if they did, they'd know that I didn't want to be bothered). Yet, they sat down and began talking. Why did they feel so comfortable? The Holy Spirit led them to share their testimony with me. It was somewhat detailed and transparent. To anyone who may have been looking afar off they might have said, "what in the world, this is not the place, this is not the time." But to me, this person's encounter was real and for me to hear it was necessary.

See, at the time I didn't even know the depths that Christ was willing to go to save a soul like mine and to provide comfort. I didn't know that Christ was in "the details" and that even the smallest things that concerned me...they concerned Him too! Nevertheless, the obedience of this one individual sharing their personal encounter backed with the power of God (because it was true), changed my life forever. Their testimony prepared my heart for my own encounter...unleashing a passion that could not be quenched. Thank God that everything is personal with Him!

When your heart is ready, Christ will meet you right where you stand.

Now is the time for true testimonies to be told about what Jesus has done. The testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophesy. For many of us much of our whole lives has been a prophetic word to be spoken into the lives of others about His overcoming power. Faith comes by hearing...but first the encounter...and therein lies the power. ‪#‎Jesus‬ ‪#‎righthere‬ ‪#‎rightnow‬ ‪#‎somethinghappened‬ ‪#‎Jesushappened‬ ‪#‎thepowerofGodunveiled‬

I Thought I Found my Brother...

Song of Solomon 3:1-2

By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broadways I will seek him, whom my soul loveth: I sought him but I found him not...

I had been searching diligently for my brothers and my sisters...those whom my soul did love....and from afar off in the streets of the city I thought I recognized them. I made my way closer. I ran toward them. As I drew closer and closer, there was affliction and great stones thrown toward me. I elevated and overcame the stumbling blocks in the path. My vision became clearer as I I drew near and when I reached those whom my soul did love, I found that there was a great resemblance of my brothers and sisters whom my soul did love but I found they were NOT my brothers and sisters after all.

Yet in the meantime was the scripture fulfilled in Isaiah 65:1
I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.

....and

Ezekiel 34:16
I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.

And though my soul has been greatly afflicted, troubled on every side, persecuted; yet it has not been destroyed. So that the life of Christ may be made manifest in my body and redound to the Glory of God.

I will continue to be all things to all men so that in all things Christ may be glorified!! For the Heavens do rejoice over that one lost soul being saved... which one I once was...to God be the Glory.

Favor and a Mission

I'm reminded of a time in history when Jezebel had ordered the prophets of the Lord to be killed. Obadiah feared the Lord and therefore hid some of the prophets in caves. (refs 1 Kings18)

During the same time Jezebel had over 400 false prophets that ate at her table. The prophet Elijah took many of those prophets and slew them. Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah advising him that she ordered him killed. Then fear set in...after all the work Elijah had... done... and after all the false prophets he slew...this particular death sentence has him run and hide.

What separated Elijah from the other true prophets that were killed at the order of Jezebel? The answer...favor and a mission!

Be strong and be of good courage. Continue to fight the good fight of faith, pressing toward the mark for the prize.

There's a saying my father would often say: "You pray...and I'll pray...and we'll see who God answers."

He will indeed answer you! Fear not what man can do. Continue to seek after the Spirit of God. Do His will and His purpose. It's not by chance that you're the one He chose for this mission. That's right...He chose you!!!!

YOU HAVE THE POWER!

I can recall a period of time in my life when the Lord told me to go forth and lay hands on the sick that they may recover. At that time, all I had was a heart of obedience. I had no clue of the operations of the Spirit regarding healing or the pre-requisites that must be met. Yet I went forth. Some people were healed and others had family that desired for them to be healed but they were not healed. I blamed myself. I said I should have fasted longer. I should have prayed harder. I pleaded with the Lord and said, Lord, I don't understand why you would give me such a gift yet you won't give me the proper amount of power?

I knew this wasn't an issue of faith (I had confidence in what God could do). I believed that Jesus was both able and willing. Then the Lord asked, "Do you have my Spirit?" Yes, Lord you know I do. "Then why do you say my Spirit is not enough? There's so much I must teach you about the operations of my Spirit. The question is not about whether you have the power or the ability , but the authority given by one's heart to authorize the pouring of the Spirit for that healing. As much as I love you all, yet not everyone is willing to be made whole. Will it benefit to work miracles and healings for those who have no intention on changing their lifestyle and living for me?" No, Lord.

Stay sensitive to my Spirit so that you can see with a natural eye those hearts yearning for my healing touch. That which you see, I will do!

Those spoken words healed my wounded confidence because for the longest time of not seeing results even though I had the gift, after while, I had given up. People would come to me with a desire for healing from the Lord, and I would turn them away and say let prophet pray for you (my husband). I thought, what's the point? They had a better chance of getting results if the prophet spoke into their life than me. The Lord listens to him, I said to myself. But that was the enemy in my ear subtly bringing doubt so that the work that the Lord wanted to use me to do wouldn't take place.

Know the difference between power and authority. There are "RULES OF ENGAGEMENT" so to speak regarding healing. Stay focused on the tasks at hand and don't let the rejection of others or their lack of faith butcher your boldness and confidence to do the will of Christ. Remember they are not rejecting you but the Spirit of God in you. Stay the course and keep your spiritual eyes open! If I send you...then you have the authority!

I do hope this is an encouraging Word for someone learning the operations of the Spirit through healing or even for someone being a prayer intercessor for someone's healing. Know that if you have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, then you have the power!

The Day I Lost...to a Dead Man

One night we had a get together. Of course, there was tons of food, some Christian music, and later some chess to end the evening. I was somewhat hesitant when asked to play because I am somewhat competitive and my opponent was a beginner. I wen t ahead and started to play the game and their very first move out was with knight. Now I'm not saying anything was wrong with that move but for a beginner that was rather unexpected. The first thing I said was, "okay, you want to die a quick death." I set up threat after threat. I threatened the knight, I threatened the bishop, the rook, and the queen. I grew frustrated because the anticipated moves that I thought he would make, he didn't make. Why? Because we had a different perspective of values. I valued pieces he didn't. My queen was worth protecting and I preferred not to lose my bishop or rook. None of those pieces meant anything to him...they had no value and were all worth losing.

Someone like that....one who doesn't value life is already dead....and was never really a part of the battle to begin with.

So my question....are you beating a dead horse?

If there is someone you are dealing with who doesn't value Christ or the Holy Spirit and there is nothing you can do to sell them on the value (so to speak), you're fighting a losing battle. There must be something....a measure of faith. This goes for reviving those that are spiritually dead. They must value life and the author of life who is Christ. #operationsoftheSpirit #don'tgiveuphope #keepbelieving
