​A TESTIMONY OF A MIRACLE
 
I sat down in my room one afternoon after spending most of the day cleaning and I saw that I had a ton of notebooks stacked full of writing that I had done by the Spirit of God. Ever since the Lord poured His Spirit upon me I just began to write about all of the things he had done and was going to do. I had allowed the enemy to convince me that I had no life and that I really had no purpose. My heart was so filled with passion for the Lord and desperately wanted the privilege to be used to work, signs, miracles, and wonders to compel man and women to give their lives to the true and living God. The zeal had started to eat me up. The Lord had me write so much about the operations of the Spirit. He said miracles were faith builders. He shared with me about Moses and How he led the children day by day, miracle by miracle, to weed out the unbelief. The accounts that I read revealed the end result of their testimony. Nonetheless, as I wrestled with the enemy about my purpose, the Lord had to me to look back on my own life and the miracles he had already shown within me.
He showed me a car accident I was in at the age of sixteen. I was heavy laden in sin. I had a selfish prayer life and I really didn’t have a goal driven or purpose driven life. I lived to please others. On the way to a job interview I drove through a power pole and slammed right into a neighbor’s tree. Live power wires fell onto the car with me in it. I got out, walked to the neighbor’s door and asked to use the phone. When the emergency response team showed up, they asked the same question over and over again, “how did you make it out?” They said I shouldn’t have live through it because of the live wires jumping on the car. I know that it was Jesus Christ giving me another chance at life and showing me that though other people couldn’t care less If I lived or died, Jesus was my Father and He cared.
Most of my sin was because of self-loathing. I would drink, smoke, and do anything to feed the spirits of depression that lurked around me. I hated myself for not being loveable. I fed right into the enemy’s chess match with my mind. I don’t know what went wrong with the car that day. Though it seemed like it was a deadly situation, that tree is symbolic of the tree of life. Jesus Christ moved in my life that day to stop me in my tracks and to put the old sinful, unbelieving man to death and to walk in a new life with His leadership and guidance.
The scripture was fulfilled in Psalm 27:10:
When my mother and father forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.
I couldn’t grasp the concept that day because I was on the potter’s wheel.
Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, nor entered the heart of man the things that the Lord have prepared for them that love him (1 Cor 2:9).
I couldn’t see what work the Lord had begun with me on that wheel. Sometimes we see miracles of healing and deliverance manifest immediately by His Spirit. While other times miracles are a work in progress while the Lord is shaping and molding someone’s heart for repentance. Sometimes the miracle is getting someone to surrender their life completely to Jesus who never thought it possible that they could be saved by grace in the first place. That’s the miracle of life.
So, while remembering that testimony and wrestling with the enemy about my purpose and listening to him tell me I didn’t have a life, the bread of life came forward with a scripture to speak to that situation that to Live is Christ and to die is gain. We must decrease and Christ by His Spirit must increase. Therefore, it was no longer I but Christ that lived within me. I had been redeemed by the blood of the lamb. Therein is the power of God unveiled.
We must remember our testimony established by Jesus Christ to overcome and endure those these perilous times. It is time to let the weak say that they are strong, and let the poor say that they are rich. Be not weary in well doing, for you shall reap if you faint not.

​SPIRITUAL WARFARE WHISPER
 
WHY DO WE NEED THE HOLY SPIRIT?
There is an order to the way that the Lord Jesus Christ operates and this is simply a friendly reminder and a quick word of encouragement for the believers who need the Holy Spirit and need to understand how the Lord moves. Often, He has commanded us t move by His Spirit to not fulfill the lust of the flesh and the desires thereof. He asked the question, Are you moving by His Spirit? How can we move by His Spirit if you do not have His Spirit? So, you need to receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit while He yet may be found so that you can be complete in Him and be where the Lord is at all times instead of where He has been. The pre-requisite to receiving the Holy Spirit is simply believe and surrender to the will and purpose of Christ. You know what it is be saved. Simply confess with your mouth and believe with you heart that Jesus Christ is the son of God and He died and rose for your sins. The Lord may move upon your heart to fast for a period of time to break down the spiritual flesh so that your Spirit man is in proper position to receive all that the Holy Spirit has for you to receive.
The Lord is not slack with His coming. Most people are not in the proper position spiritually to understand and know what the will of the Lord is. The is true. He will be real to you if you desire Him to reign in your life completely. This is a faith walk and requires endurance. This is not a sprint. In order to know the things of the Spirit you must possess the Spirit and it is then by His Spirit that the Lord communicates with His chosen and He also distributes gifts for you to be effective in the Kingdom of God. The Spirit is what leads us and guides us in the path of all truths and righteousness. So, it is needful to ask the question again, “Are you moving by His Spirit?” If not, then seek Him for His Holy spirit to complete you so that you receive all that the Lord has for you to receive before He comes. He desires that we prosper and be in good health. He also stated that He is the bread of life and that His life is eternal and full of abundance and joy. However, these things come by His Spirit.
The enemy is warring with the saints of God and those chosen to do the will and purpose of Christ. We know what the enemy desires to do; kill, steal, and destroy. He wants to completely annihilate the Spirit of God and sift us like wheat. However, the Lord Jesus has given us weapons of warfare and He personally has said that He prays for us that our faith will not fail. We must walk by faith and not by sight. Put on the whole armor of God and a major part of the armor is His Spirit. We must put on righteousness. Put on holiness. Do not waver. Do not take down. Do not fear what man can do. Jesus has the final say on your life and every situation and circumstance concerning you. Trust in the Lord with your whole heart and having done all to stand, stand and see the glory of God. Do it all by His Spirit that we may contend and fight a good fight.
 

SPIRITUAL WARFARE WHISPER REVELATION 6

A BOW WITH NO ARROWS?

AND I SAW WHEN THE LAMB OPENED ONE OF THE SEALS, AND I HEARD, AS IT WERE THE NOISE OF THUNDER, ONE OF THE FOUR BEASTS SAYING, COME AND SEE.
AND I SAW, AND BEHOLD A WHITE HORSE: AND HE THAT SAT ON HIM HAD A BOW; AND A CROWN WAS GIVEN UNTO HIM: AND HE WENT FORTH CONQUERING, AND TO CONQUER.

Remember, in previous chapters Jesus Christ, the lamb of God is the only one worthy to open the book of judgment with the seven seals. The seals of judgment are being opened in this chapter. John, the Apostle, says He saw the lamb open the first one. When it was opened he heard the noise of thunder which is often mentioned in other chapters but in particular Psalm 29:3 where thunder is the voice of God. It demands the reverence and fear of God. Thunder was to give glory to God and to signify a heed to a warning or need for correction/judgment.
One of the four beasts that were at the Lord’s throne were given the command to show John about the first seal. Take note that the previous chapters The Lord has his ministering angels there to make the revelation but here there are beasts present that are with the twenty four elders and they show him the white horse. A form a transportation. A way of getting around from one place to another. The color white is symbolic of cleanliness and holiness which the Word says is next to godliness. So, he is coming with a form of godliness with an appearance similar to that of the chosen ones of God. He that sits on the horse has a bow. This bow is a weapon of warfare but it has no arrows with it. This is symbolic of intimidation and fear. He has a weapon but it can do no physical harm. A crown was given to him to go forth conquering. Crown is significant of hierarchy of a kingdom with certain levels of royal and prestige. A king, prince, or emperor. This conqueror, though he comes in sheep’s clothing is an antichrist. He has a mission  for judgment and to conquer and he is coming by way of falsehood. He looks almost like a man of God but has an intent to destroy and not to build. He does it with charm, flattery, presenting himself as a messenger of light but with his heart he is intent on utilizing intimidation and fear without use of natural weaponry. It’s all spiritual. When one doesn’t have a weapon they use their mouth to achieve what they need to accomplish. He is coming speaking great swelling words, a charmer and charismatic with intent to harm and deceive.

Daniel 7:8
I considered the horns, and behold, there came op among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots. And Behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.

7:20
And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout that his fellows. 

Horns are considered to be dominions or rulers of a particular domain.
There came another little horn before there were three of the first,
This “little” horn ruler cones on the scene after the first three which seem to be greater in power and authority than the fourth “little” horn. Hence the term little.
He may start out little or humble. He come out of seemingly nowhere.
However, three of the first horns are plucked up by the root unlike King Nebucchadnezzar who had a stump left. These rulers are come to an end and will no longer exist.
Though a beast is showing John these Heavenly revelation and visions of things to come, In Daniel 7 the Lord reveals through the prophet Daniel that there are four beasts which are representative of a type of kingdom which the horns arise out of. Therefore, the prophet speaks about beasts and it is mentioned that the “little” horn will have eyes of a man though behind him is the forces of a beast and a mouth speaking great swelling words.
This is a revelation of spiritual warfare.
Matthew 11:12
And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffered violence and the violent take it by force.

For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. 

This enemy comes to take the Kingdom by force. The Kingdom within us. The Kingdom that we have received within our hearts. The Kingdom that we have by the Lord’s precious blood and through the Holy Spirit. He comes to make war with the children of God. He has intent to weary the saints until he conquers.
We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against powers, rulers of darkness of this world, and spiritual wickedness in high places.

Within the fourth beast will reign ten horns which are rulers of dominion as well. Three of these rulers/ kingdoms will be conquered/subdued by the “little” horn which in place of these three who lose their dominion will reign in their stead and will be replaced as the eight kingdom. This force sees with the eyes of a man and speaks great words. These words are blasphemous. Great words with seduction and charisma to move people with false doctrines. One the outward appearance He is as King Saul was when the children of God requested a King. He was handsome to look upon and preferred amongst his paramours.

This same horn made war with the saints and prevailed against them;
Until the ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High; and the time cane that the saints possessed the Kingdom.

Again, these things the Lord Jesus Christ is allowing. Nothing can be proclaimed or declared or decreed without the Lord Jesus Christ giving the authorization. He has all power in His hands. This is judgment hour. The Lord is not turning on his chosen people…His children. His sheep hear His voice and He is known of His. Many of the saints are overcome and slaughtered because of covetous practices and they are not trying the spirit to know. They refused to completely surrender. However, this will not be so for the true saints of God that stay the course and endure to the end.
This antichrist is presenting himself like a brethren among the children of the Most High. He appears as a messenger of light. Many false brethren have crept in unawares. He operates with spirits of deception. The words are almost like the Lord, but not divine. They are not backed with the works of the Holy Spirit. The word says signs, miracles, and wonders shall follow the believer. He speaks words of temporary relief that cannot prosper you and bring you to your expected end. Empty words. Therefore, the Lord Jesus says that we shall know them by their fruits. Try the spirit by the Spirit to know.   

​SPIRITUAL  WARFARE WHISPER

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. It is needful that I write to you concerning these appointed times where the enemy continues to war with the true saints of the Most High. He has come to completely annihilate the chosen ones of God. Many of the saints of God have been slaughtered because the enemy have come disguised as an messenger of light in his cunningness and craftiness and has deceived many utilizing seducing spirits and doctrines of falsehood to conquer the men and women of God. The Lord Jesus has warned by His Spirit to flee covetous practices so that they would not be deceived but the children took heed to counsel that was not sound and heaped to themselves their own teachers. The Lord Jesus had pleaded to surrender with your whole heart while you yet have a chance. He said be wise as a serpent yet gentle as a dove. He said be not deceived. He pleaded with His chosen to be not taken by the flattering tongues but to seek after His Holy Spirit. He said to stand in His authority and to not take down. Lean not to your own understanding. The Lord has stated that the church doubts His ability and have gone on their own. They have made their alliances to accomplish their own will. Their hearts are far from me saith the Lord and because of this they have become like vomit to me. I will destroy them saith the Lord and their works will become void. Then the true saints will ask the question, How have the Lord’s children become orphans? Nonetheless, the Lord has always maintained a remnant that will obey his will and will not question his righteous judgment. This remnant will go forth in His vision that has been established before the foundations of the world. This vision may be new to them, but has always been with the Lord since the beginning.

Jeremiah 12:7

I have forsaken mine house, I have left mine heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.

Mine heritage is unto me as a speckled bird, the birds round about are against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour. 

PASSIONATE PURSUIT…STRAIGHT SHOOTIN’

1 THESS 3:1-3
WHEREFORE WHEN WE COULD NO LONGER FORBEAR, WE THOUGHT IT BE GOOD TO BE LEFT AT ATHENS ALONE; AND SEND TIMOTHEUS, OUR BROTHER, AND MINISTER OF GOD, AND OUR FELLOW-LABORER IN THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST, TO ESTABLISH YOU, AND TO COMFORT YOU CONCERNING YOUR FAITH:
THAT NO MAN SHOULD BE MOVED BY THESE AFFLICTIONS : FOR YOURSELVES KNOW THAT WE ARE APPOINTED THEREUNTO.

I don’t know about you but I’m going to get right to the word with regards to shootin straight and getting to the heart of the matter. I am tired of church! I am tired of religion! I am tired of folks  that claim to be men and women of the most High, but their fruits don’t show. We all have to walk the talk and not just be hearers but doers also. I’m tired of folks who are not willing to do what it takes or to fellowship looking down on those who are willing to do the work…who are willing to seek the face of God. Where are those that desire to walk in the purified love of Christ that covers a multitude of sins? Where are the saints of God that are willing to hold all night prayer meetings to pray you out of prison?!! Those prayer warriors that won’t laugh at your pain, mock you, and kick you while you’re down? I am tired of claiming to be seasoned in the lord looking upon us in judgment who want to be obedient to do the will and purpose of Christ. Their on their high horses but wont come down, having a form of godliness denying the power of God. These same people got your life figure out but have no clue about their own. They are Pharisees and Scribes that don’t enter into the kingdom and don’t want you to enter in either! Where are the overcomers?….the ones who need someone to praise with them and seek with them so they can make in when Jesus Christ comes for His church without spot or wrinkle. Jesus is the one who laid down His life and had the power to pick it up again. So, what’s up with folks thinking they have “arrived” and they act as if they got there on their own. If it hadn’t been for the Lord who was on our side we surely wouldn’t have made it. We have this far by faith and because of His grace and mercy that we are not consumed. Jesus paid the price with his blood. His love is the reason that I’m still here to testify of that love. That love persuaded me to persevere through the trials and the tests that have come to purify us like gold, that we may stand in these last days.
We cannot be moved by the afflictions that come to make us strong and abound in the love of Christ. We cannot be taken with sudden bewilderment or astonishment when we see men and women who claim to b e men and women of the cloth operate in the character of man in the last days. Nothing happens that the Lord Jesus Christ has not allowed to happen for His glory and for His purpose. We must overcome and endure to the end. For now we live if we stand fast in the Lord. So, the things that I’m tired of seeing I will overcome by overcoming and encouraging myself and others to walk by His spirit and be the standard of righteousness that we desire to see in others. Abide in the vine and hold fast to what we have been taught in the beginning so that righteous judgment can prevail. Do His will. Do His purpose. Do not waver. Do not compromise. Do not take down for the enemy or sin. #seek #fight #overcome

LET’S TALK ABOUT JUDGMENT…
WHO IS WORTHY?

AND I SAW IN THE RIGHT HAND OF HIM THAT SAT ON THE THRONE A BOOK WRITTEN WITHIN AND ON THE BACKSIDE, SEALED WITH SEVEN SEALS.
AND I SAW A STRONG ANGEL PROCLAIMING WITH A LOUD VOICE, WHO IS WORTHY TO OPEN THE BOOK, AND TO LOOSE THE SEVEN SEALS THEREOF?
AND NO MAN ON HEAVEN, NOT IN EARTH, NEITHER UNDER THE EARTH, WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE BOOK, NEITHER TO LOOK THEREON.
AND I WEPT MUCH BECAUSE NO MAN WAS FOUND WORHTY TO OPEN AND TO READ THE BOOK, NEITH TO LOOK THEREON.
AND ONE OF THE ELDERS SAITH UNTO ME, WEEP NOT: BEHOLD, THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDA, THE ROOT OF DAVID, HAVE PREVAILED TO OPEN THE BOOK, AND TO LOOSE THE SEVEN SEALS THEREOF.
ON THE RIGHT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF STRENGTH, POWER, MIGHT, HEALING, AND DELIVERANCE.
DAVID PENNED THAT THE LORD IS ON HIS RIGHT HAND THAT HE SHOULD NOT BE MOVED.
THEREIS A BOOK IN THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD WHO IS THE RIGHTEOUS JUST JUDGE. SEVEN IS SYMBOLIC OF THE KINGDOM OF THE LIVING GOD, HIS SEVEN CHURCHES, AND HIS SEVEN SPIRITS OF JUDGMENT (ISAIAH 11). IT ALSO REPRESENTS AUTHORSHIP AND AUTHORITY.
WHEN YOU HAVE A BOOK, ONE OF THE FIRST QUESTIONS ONE IS ASKED IS, “WHO WROTE THE BOOK?” THERE WAS A NEED FOR RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT AND THEREFORE THERE WAS A NEED FOR THE AUTHOR BECAUSE EVEN BEFORE WE WERE FORMED IN THE WOMB, THE LORD KNEW US.
MEANING, HE DESIGNED US AND CONSTRUCTED US ACCORDING TO HIS WILL AND PURPOSE.
“FOR THOU HAST CREATED ALL THINGS, AND FOR THY PLEASURE THEY ARE AND WERE CREATED” (REV. 4:11)
EVEN THE STRONG ANGEL COULD ONLY PROCLAIM WE ARE ALL A LUMP OF CLAY ORDAINED BY THE MASTER POTTER ALL HAVE BEEN GIVEN A MEASURE OF FAITH. WITHIN THAT MEASURE OF FAITH ARE THE GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT AND THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT. THE FIRST IS LOVE WHICH COVERS A MULTITUDE OF SINS. THERE WAS NO ONE FOUND (QUALIFIED) TO EVEN LOOK THEREON TO DETERMINE THE LOVE, LONG SUFFERING, PATIENCE, MERCY, GRACE, FORGIVENESS, GENTLENESS, OR ANY OTHER PORTION OF THE MEASURE BY WHICH  THE LORD IS USING TO JUDGE YOUR LIFE ON EARTH.
JOHN WAS INSRUCTED TO BEAR RECORD OF WHAT HE SAW. HE WAS A SEER PROPHET. WHEN HE SAW WHAT HE SAW HE WEPT BECAUSE WITHIN HIS SPIRIT NO ONE WAS WORTHY. THE LORD DESIGNED HIS CREATIONS TO DESIRE HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS. HE SAID SEEK THE KINGDOM. HE SAID SEEK THE KINGDOM AD ALL OF ITS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND ALL OTHER THINGS SHALL BE ADDED. OUR SPIRIT DESIRES TO KNOW RIGHTEOUSNESS. DAVID CRIED TO THE LORD, TEACH ME TO KNOW MINE END AND TO NUMBER MY DAYS. TEACH ME THY PRECEPTS. HIS SPIRIT KNEW THAT WITHIN WAS THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. TO BE ABLE TO PREVAIL, OVERCOME, AND TO OBTAIN RIGHTEOUS JUDGEMENT, THERE WAS A FIGHT ON OUR BEHALF.

EPHESIANS 3:17-19

THAT CHRIST MAY DWELL IN YOUR HEARTS BY FAITH; THAT YE, BEING ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN LOVE, MAY BE ABLE TO COMPREHEND WITH ALL SAINTS WHAT IS THE BREADTH, AND LENGTH, AND DEPTH, AND HEIGHT; AND TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST, WHICH PASSETH KNOWLEDGE, THAT YE MIGHT BE FILLED WITH ALL THE FULLNESS OF GOD.

The elder said weep not because the lamb of God hath prevailed. Often times we weep because of situations that require a Savior. We need our Potter to shape and mold us. Our Spirit weeps with desire to comprehend the length, breadth, depth, and the height of the Love of Christ, and what he is willing to do to maintain his righteousness and be glorified in our life. 

The Lord Jesus Christ was given to us by the Father. In the Book of Hebrews God said prepare me a body because He desired to give the Son unto us, wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities. He prevailed for us on the cross. He prevailed having seven horns (authorities, powers) which are the seven Spirits of God. 

Isaiah 11:1-5

AND THERE SHALL COME FORTH A ROD OUT OF THE STEM OF JESSE, AND A BRANCH SHALL GROW OUT OF HIS ROOTS: AND THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD SHALL REST UPON HIM, THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING, THE SPIRIT OF COUNSEL AND MIGHT, THE SPIRIT OF KNOWLEDGE AND OF THE FEAR OF THE LORD. AND SHALL MAKE HIM OF QUICK UNDERSTANDING IN THE FEAR OF THE LORD: AND HE SHALL NOT JUDGE AFTER THE SIGHT OF HIS EYES, NEITHER REPROVE AFTER THE HEARING OF HIS EARS: BUT WIT RIGHTEOUSNESS SHALL HE JUDGE THE POOR, AND REPROVE WITH EQULTY. FOR THE MEEK OF THE EARTH: AND HE SHLL SMITE THE EARTH WITH THE ROD OF HIS MOUTH, AND WITH THE BREADTH OF HIS LIPS SHALL HE SLAY THE WICKED. AND RIGHTEOUSNES SHALL BE THE GIRDLE OF HIS LOINS, AND FAITHFULNESS THE GIRDLE OF HIS REIGNS. 

AND HE CAME AND TOOK THE BOOK OUT OF THE RIGHT HAND OF HIM THAT SAT UPON THE THRONE. 

Jesus Christ is the risen Savior. He is the one slain and the only one worthy to open the book of our lives. He is risen to sit on the right hand of God until his enemies are made his footstool.

AND WHEN HE HAD TAKEN THE BOOK, THE FOUR BEASTS AND FOUR AND TWENTY ELDERS FEEL DOWN BEFORE THE LAMB, HAVING EVERY ONE OF THEM HARPS, AND GOLDEN VIALS FULL OF ODOURS, WHICH ARE THE PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS.

We must rejoice because the account of our works of righteousness and faith is in the hands of the Son of God. Our life is in his hands.

John 10:27-30

MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE, AND I KNOW THEM, AND THEY FOLLOW ME:AND I GIVE UNTO THEM ETERNAL LIFE; AND THEY SHALL NEVER PERISH, NEITHER SHALL ANY MAN PLUCK THEM OUT OF MY HAND. MY FATHR, WHICH GAVE THEM ME, IS GREATER THAN ALL; AND NO MAN IS ABLE TO PLUCK THEM OUR OF MY FATHER’S HANDS. I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE.

Luke 10:19-20

BEHOLD, I GIVE UNTO YOU POWER TO TREAD ON SERPENT AND SCORPIONS, AND OVERALL THE POWER OF THE ENEMY: NOTWITHSTANDING IN THIS REJOICE NOT, THAT THE SPIRITS ARE SUBJECT UNTO YOU; BUT RATHER, BECAUSE YOUR NAMES ARE WRITTEN IN HEAVEN.

​#SEEK #FIGHT #OVERCOME

​IT’S TIME TO OVERCOME    ECC 3:1-8
TO EVERYTHING THERE IS A SEAON, AND A TIME TO EVERY PURPOSE UNDER THE HEAVEN:
A TIME TO BE BORN, AND A TIME TO DIE; A TIME TO PLANT, AND A TIME TO PLUCK UP THAT WHICH IS PLANTED; A TIME TO KILL, AND A TIME TO HEAL; A TIME TO BREAK DOWN, AND A TIME TO BUILD UP.
A TIME TO WEEP, AND A TIME TO LAUGH; A TIME TO MOURN, AND A TIME TO DANCE;
A TIME TO CAST AWAY STONES, AND A TIME TO GATHER STONES TOGETHER, A TIME TO EMBRACE, AND A TIME TO REFRAIN FROM EMBRACING;
A TIME TO GET, AND A TIME TO LOSE; A TIME TO KEEP, AND A TIME TO CAST AWAY;
A TIME TO REND, AND A TIME TO SEW; A TIME TO KEEP SILENCE, AND A TIME TO SPEAK;
A TIME TO LOVE, AND A TIME TO HATE; A TIME TO WAR, AND A TIME OF PEACE.
It’s a time to encourage one another in the faith. It’s also time to encourage yourself to stand tall and do the Lord’s will. We do what’s not popular. We don’t wrestle against flesh and blood. So, we must handle the spiritual things spiritually. As the natural season s began to transition, let’s recognize what time it is spiritually. It’s time to discern the righteousness of Christ and to do the Lord’s will. Continue to let your light shine even in the midst of adversity. It’s a time to “kill it on contact” the things that the enemy has attempted to use as threats against the chosen men and women of the Most High.
It’s time to pick up your weapons of righteousness and contend for the faith of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Stand, and see the salvation of the Lord. It’s time to surrender completely. Its time to love the Lord your God with all of your heart, mind, soul, and strength. It’s time to seek him for His Spirit. It’s time to praise Him like it’s our last time. It’s time to repent and lay aside every weight and sin that easily besets us. It’s time to call upon the Lord while He may be found. It’s time to allow the Lord to reign by His spirit. Try the spirits by the Spirit of the most high. The fruits will show. We shall know them by their fruits. Trust in the Lord. Lean not to your own understanding. Trust not in the confidences of man. Abide in Him and He will abide in you. It’s a time to put all fear aside and get right with the Lord Jesus Christ. It’s time to lose yourself completely in Him and be saturated with the Holy Spirit completely. Judgment starts at the household of faith. Allow his Spirit to lead and guide you in the path of all truths. Compare spiritual with spiritual. See things with the spiritual eye. Know your role as a child of the most high so you’re in position to do the will and purpose of the living God. Signs will follow the believer. #seek #fight #overcome

BEWARE OF DECEPTION
I JOHN 4:1&4-6
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
They are of the world: therefore, speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
We are of God: He that knoweth God heareth us; He that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
Prophets that are not holy have gone out to conquer the chosen man and women of the Most High. They ask the question, “Do you accept my love?” This question they ask is not on behalf of the living God. This is a trick from the pit of hell wanting you to trade the love of Jesus Christ for falsehood.
The Holy Spirit speaks those things that He sees and hears. He doesn’t speak of himself. We bear record of the testimony of the truth as led by His Holy Spirit.
My testimony concerning receiving the love of Christ is simply that the Lord won’t ask such a question. The Spirit searches the deep things, the very deep things of God. He knows the reigns of the heart. He asks us to walk in the Spirit, so we won’t fulfil the lusts of the flesh. He asked on occasion if I desired righteousness and this question, He asked to reassure me that I was doing the righteousness of Christ and that He was with me. Jesus is the light and there is no darkness in Him at all. Love is an action word and the lord has often said concerning those who love him that their fruits will show. You shall know them by their fruits.
So, we must know them that labor among us and as the lord Jesus instructed Jeremiah that we cannot look upon their faces, but we must discern the spirit behind the faces. We wrestle not against flesh and blood. These spirits and rulers that wrestle against the chosen ones of God are attempting to do whatever they can do destroy what the lord has established for His children in the Spirit. Everything is done in the Spirit and by His Spirit so if the enemy can destroy what God has established spiritually within you then he is effectively destroying the kingdom within you. Eternity is spiritual. There is nothing natural about the everlasting kingdom of God. We are the Kingdom; and this is why the lord Jesus stated to seek ye first the kingdom of God and all of His righteousness and everything else will be added. We are seeking each other, the chosen men and women of God. We cannot be deceived by false brethren that have crept in unawares because the spirit within them wants you to forfeit your inheritance. Stand, stand, and stand again among the found. Do not take down for the enemy.
No weapon formed against you shall prosper. It won’t work. The Lord won’t allow it. So, be aware of the tactics of the adversary and overcome by the blood of the lamb and the Word of His testimony. Those who endure to the end shall be saved. #PICKUPYOURWEAPONSANDFIGHT #SEEK #LOVE

​RELATIONSHIPS UNDER SIEGE?
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It is needful that we continue to write unto you with a friendly reminder that we continue to put on the whole armor of God that we may withstand the whiles of the enemy. The enemy is coming against relationships and particularly those that have been established in Christ and on a firm foundation of faith. Do not look at things as they occur with sudden astonishment or bewilderment. Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and ever more. So when the enemy begins to throw fiery darts at your friendships, and even marriages, you must stand tall and so not allow the enemy to get you out of your character and have your good evil spoken of. He’s hoping to ruin your testimony. You must step out on your most Holy faith, even when it seems like you’re the only one. You are not the only one being persecuted for righteousness’ sake. What God has joined together no man can put asunder. Your acquaintances haven’t changed. Your wife or your husband’s character hasn’t all of a sudden changed. If you’re seeking the face of God and desiring the righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ, then you know what time it is. You know that you must fight to contend against powers and principalities that are attempting to get you take down. The enemy is a liar and a thief and has been from the beginning. He wont attempt to come through the front or back door. He comes in fashions, forms, and dimensions that we are not always privileged to know of. However, Jesus knows. He is our Sheppard. He is known of His. Don’t stop loving. Don’t stop believing that all things are possible through Christ that strengthens us. Jesus will never leave you nor forsake you. He will not put more on you than what you can bear. He will not allow his children to be provoked to wrath. He will perform His Word. Remember, a soft answer turneth away wrath. Agree with your adversary quickly, meaning do not take down or give in to foolishness. Resist the devil and he will flee. No matter the situation or circumstance stand in the purified love of Christ. God Is love. Love hopes for all things. Love bears all things and believes for all things. So having done all to stand, we stand and see the salvation of the Lord. The word tells us that there is a time for all things. There is a time to fight and contend for righteousness. We do that with fervent prayer and praise that goes leaps and bounds spiritually more than we can fathom. #staythecourse #finishtherace

​Word of Encouragement
 
To the believers in Jesus Christ with desire to do the will and purpose of Christ, to see Him glorified through your works of righteousness. He is with you.
Put on your whole armor and stand on your most holy faith. I am reminded of the perplexities and troubles that Paul endured. I, too, a disciple of the Most High have been in life threatening situations, car accidents, miscarriages, homeless, jobless, child custody situations, wrestled with witches, warlocks, sorcerers, workers of iniquity, powers of darkness, devils desiring to put upon mind binding spirits, doctrines of devils, and false brethren who with confidence and boldness have told me I was not called or chosen to fulfill the will of God as a pastor. I have seen my enemies spread as a green olive bay tree. Mine own acquaintances have ridiculed and mocked me. Those that I have loved with all of my heart and very being have reproached me and have taken back the hope that they have had toward me. They test my speech to determine if I am one whom you have abandoned. With mine own eyes have I seen you glorified Lord Jesus. Who is like unto the Lord who knows our beginning from the end? I had fainted unless I had seen the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. My tears have been my comfort as I have hoped for the power of living God to triumph over his enemies. They cover with covering of falsehood and look at me in disgust as if I’m a fool for loving righteousness. Teach me to know my end and to number my days. My character has not changed. I have been unshakeable and unmovable ever abounding in the love of Christ. Reveal my sin unto me that I may know of the displeasure that you have toward my wretchedness. Chasten me. Lead me in a righteous path. What can I know besides what the Holy Spirit has taught me? How can I know the ways of the flesh, I cannot. You have taught me according to thy Holy Spirit. Let not these fleshly ordinances of man be a snare unto me O’ Lord. Hear my petition for righteousness. You are my heart’s desire and my exceedingly great reward.  Receive my praise with pleasure O’ Lord. Teach me thy ways of humility. Teach me to lay aside myself. Teach me O’ Lord how to be a living sacrifice, Holy and acceptable in thy sight. Teach me how to love wisely. Teach me how to endure to the end while remaining faithful to your will and not my own. It is you O’ lord Jesus who paid the ultimate price with you blood. It is in your holy name that I will put my trust. No matter the corruption. No matter the circumstance. The Lord’s faithfulness to His children is the reason why I’m still here. I’m still living to testify that His purified love has kept me even when my mother and father have forsaken me. There is power in love. There is power in true surrender. There is power is obedience. There is power in Praise. There is power in prayer. By His Holy Spirit, He will do the work that He said He would do.
He is the first, the last, the beginning, and the end. He is the Amen. He is the everlasting and His Word endures forever.
