Prophecy For 2009

I received a prophetic word from the Lord concerning the corporate church and I would like to release this in accordance with the new year. I believe this is not all that the Lord desires to say, but this what he has shared with me so far. I pray he continues to reveal more prophetic words.

This is the year where God is removing the reproach from the bride (church). I will prepare me a glorious bride prepared for intimacy. For in past time she could not enter in, because of her lack of holiness. But now I desire to show myself to her in all my glory for will only dwell within the midst of a Holy People. I desire to dwell with a peculiar people.

I desire to make a chosen generation and I desire to make my abode in the hearts of my people. I desire to live there perpetually and continually. I will love their hearts and by my Spirit I will draw them closer to me. I will woo them by my unfailing love and I will restore the beauty of my people and cause the kings and the nations to glory again. For “Ichabod” is being removed from the hearts of many and I will return with my glory. For it grieved me that I left their heart and I desire to return to live so that my people will begin to shew forth my praises because I brought them out of darkness in to my marvelous light. They will come into my light and experience my love. My glory returns. The tangible weightiness of my glory returns upon my people. My glory thunders in the spirit. Although you do not see it naturally, My glory is thundering in the camp of the enemy. Because of your faithfulness. I will remove the reproach from my people. I will cause them to stand with strength power and glory by my unfailing grace.
My grace and glory will return to empower my people to seek after me again. For many have abandoned the seek. I place a hunger on the inside of my people. I create a hunger. And even as my people hunger. I will fill. I will fill and overflow into many generations and the relationships that surround them. I will overflow with my love. My love will overflow and they will know my glory is yet alive. They will realize that I am a faithful God. And I am unchanging. So declare to my people to come and be intimate with me so that I can share measures of how I am with each of them. I desire to share my self and give myself to my people. For they will have tokens and deposits of who I am to take into the new year. And one deposit of my glory will carry them for a lifetime. I will give them much to sustain them. For there are treacherous times ahead. But my people will be sustained by me. They will have the deposit of my glory to sustain them through these times.

Family Ministering 101: During the Holidays

 

Thanksgiving is tomorrow and Christmas and New Years will be coming soon and when this time comes around you find that being saved becomes very interesting. Why? Well. Holidays can either make or break your witness before your family and friends.  I will explain what I mean but first let me say this. If the majority of your family members are believers, then bless GOD!! That is an excellent thing, but this post is intended for the other 80% of us where we are one of the few that believe in Christ amongst family members. They may have a cerebral idea of God and/or Jesus Christ or don’t believe at all. Some of you even have family members that believe in alternative religions.

 

For this reason, when the holidays approach, we get nervous, anxious, and fearful because opinions, ideas, and perceptions clash. It is usually not in a good way. Also, most of our unsaved loved ones remember us when we were unsaved as well and sometimes it is difficult for them to embrace the new “you” that God has created you to be. Some of them will even remind you of past hurts, addictions, pains, and desires as an attempt to keep you on their level. However, during the holidays, God wants your witness to be strong. We don’t want to become a stumbling block.

 

So, here are few tips that would help it be an painless gathering and God can be glorified through your life.

 

·        Prayer for Family- Pray prior to spending time with family and be open to any directions from the Lord to minister.

·        Don’t Force Feed- Don’t shove scriptures down your family members’ throat. There is nothing worse than an overzealous family member trying to minister every scripture in the Bible. It does not work. You will cause more harm than good. Lose the need to prove your point! I know this one personally.

·        Be Wise with your Words- Even though we stand for Christ, some family members wait for an opportunity to pounce on something you said to make you feel like the bad guy! Be strategic! Inquire of the Lord the best approach and speak clearly and understandably so that nothing is taken out of context.

·        Prophesy through Conversation- For those of you that flow in the prophetic, speak prophetic words under the guise of advice or counsel. In order for your words to be taken seriously, they don’t have to begin with “God says!”

·        Love Covers All- Please refrain from pointing out flaws, inabilities, shortcomings in other family members. This is a recipe for disaster! It only produces strife, hurt and anger. Most family members are aware of their flaws so they don’t need to be repeated by you. It only makes you appear self-righteous and your words from that point are of none effect. Remember Love covers a multitude of sin.

·        Watch the Flesh Reaction- Be careful not to react in your flesh. The enemy knows what family member pushes your buttons or what this person does that you don’t like. Be careful not to react to it because you will be framed as the crazy one. Prior to visiting, take a personal inventory of things that may have the potential to irritate you and guard those areas of your soul.

 

 

I cannot list everything but these are some strategies that will help you get started. Remember more than anything. Be lead by the Holy Spirit. Let wisdom direct you.

 

Proverbs 11:30
”The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.”

 

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

The Genesis of CHANGE

CHANGE.

 

A very recognizable word and it has not been more prominent until this time. As Barack Obama, the newly elected president of the United States of America, built his entire campaign on this ONE word. He understood that not only the American people, but the entire world, needed and demanded the manifestation of what this one word entailed. He was distinctive in his message making many references to Martin Luther King Jr. and presenting to the world hope that the climate of this nation had the potential to reverse from practices of bigotry, selfishness, and greed to unity, hope, and peace.

 

Many thought this was a new concept, mantra, or belief and praised the Illinois senator for tailoring such a magnificent campaign around that word. Change is a powerful word, because the essence of it sparks the possibility of a new reality that was once impossible to attain. However, this word originated far from American soil and was spoken from lips of an unpopular teacher or scribe. Here is what he said:

 

Matthew 4:17 (King James Version)

 

“17.From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

 

Yes! Jesus Christ captured the real essence of change when He asked men to REPENT! Although his approach was hated and teachings were scorned, He trail blazed the original idea of change or in his particular message Repentance.

 

You see! Although, change and repentance carry similar meanings, they differ in application. Repentance requires real change in our hearts and souls. I am afraid we can ride the Change train for the next 4 years, but until real repentance occurs this nation will never be changed. Every proposal, venture, or bill will be short-lived because you cannot change this nation outside of Christ. This nation needs repentance! Only God carries the life altering ability to do that.

 

It’s apparent from the millions that voted that this nation wants CHANGE which explains that we all as humanity have a need for a savior.  We must wake up and see God has been trying to change for decades. Instead of embracing change, let us embrace repentance which is what the Father is after!

 

2 Chronicles 7:14 (King James Version)

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

A Prophetic Word about the Economic Crisis

I know this is not the normal post on the prophetic as I intended to do. However, I feel as this is a timely word. In the today’s economic crisis, many churches are in the face of heightened financial strain. Many members are opting to stay at home and watch church on TV for the sake of gas. Many have declined in paying tithes and offering. Those that are in full time ministry are feeling the pinch as expenses increase to travel and minister. Many of us we have to stand on the very word we have been preaching and believe the Lord that he will provide. As many times as we have spoken all of the provision scriptures in times where we were without lack. They are becoming ever more real to us now.

Many of us the Lord is moving and showing up as Provider. However, I want to encourage those were the bills are increasing and pay is decreasing which has enticed you to decline in ministry. Also, to the pastors and leaders who are struggling to minister because of the lack of adequate funds to maintain the church.

These scriptures really encouraged me.

Philippians 4:10-13.

Paul was writing this letter to the Philippian church. This scripture is very compelling. In verse 10, Paul was very excited because the provision that the church was providing for him while he was away had started to flourish again. Even though the church wanted to take care of the man of God, they lacked the opportunity at times

Then his letter takes a complete turn, He stated the reason for request support was not because he was in need, but because he understood contentment. He stated that he understood how to be content in all things. This is powerful you mean in his lack. There was no tangible element that could remove him from his purpose or from preaching the gospel. He understood how to be without and function and be sufficient.

TO ALL PASTORS, APOSTLES, INTERCESSORS, PROPHETS, AND THOSE IN MINISTRY

THE LORD SAYS: Remain content in all things. Lack and Insufficiency is not in excuse to drop out of the race and give up on what I have mandated you to do. If you will shift your mentality towards gain you will begin to see much fruitfulness in your life. It is an issue of faith and there is much grace available for you to stand in these times. Continue and don’t dwell on the provision because you will not lack bread. I desire to be the savior in your life but many of you are attempting to save yourself by your own strength, means and wisdom. Be encouraged! Though there is famine in the land. You will not suffer calamity. The house will not be in foreclosure. The car will not be repossessed. Your funds will not decrease. Place your strength in me. The economic crisis will not overtake you, but you must place your trust in me. I have made myself available for you.

Finally, YOU CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENTHENS YOU.

Positioning the Church for the Outpouring of End Time Wisdom.

I believe that we are definitely in the days of Daniel where God is entrusting political leadership in the hands of the church so that His structure be Supreme. In the midst, I see key people being placed in this arena perverting the Wisdom of God, prohibiting it from flowing through the mind of the President.

During this time the church must know what it means to “come out from amongst.. and be ye separate” (2 Corinthians 6:16-18).

This separation is for the receiving of unearthly wisdom. In this hour mans wisdom will fail and there will be a seek for answers. We must be the Answer to the Cry! God is calling for Deep Discipline in the daily lives of His people. We must number our days according to the Wisdom of God which means Decreasing so that he may Increase. This discipline is in the areas of: what we allow to come out of our mouths(!!!), food control and consumption, our finances, our time,. etc. Our daily lifestyle should mimic that of Daniels. We must pray for the direction for the next president.

Understand that as of now God is giving us a choice and isn’t forcing this upon anyone. We will Walk in the Spirit to the degree that we “Fellowship with Him.” Excellence, Knowledge, Wisdom and Understanding must be groomed inside of us in order to know the secrets of God for the end of days. If you want results, humble yourself and enquire in His temple and He will reveal the beauty realm, which is His Glory. We need Gods truth to prevail. Position yourselves for the shifting of powers.

How to Develop Prophetic Accuracy

I remember when I first started out in the prophetic. The main thing I wanted to be was ACCURATE. I wanted to be right on point when I spoke the word of the Lord. I started out mainly in personal prophecy. When I prophesied, I wanted to speak the very secrets of the person’s heart according to 1^st Corinthians 14:25.  I believe this is everyone’s heart when they begin in the prophetic. Coupled with that, there is much fear of missing the mark or not being accurate. So when you begin, you have to pray to the Lord that he will deliver you from the spirit of fear. When I first came to my church, I was around powerful prophetic people and was very intimidated. They seemed to prophesy the inner chambers of your heart with ease. We were all mentored by my overseer, Apostle Matthew Stevenson, who is known in our area as a man with “lethal prophetic accuracy”. So the pressure was definitely on as we all wanted to be as accurate as our leader. However, I thought there was a big secret to becoming more accurate in the prophetic. I thought to do the usual which is what we all do pray more, fast more, worship more, and the like. Although, these things help. However, it was one scripture that changed my whole perspective of developing accuracy.

 

John 15:15 states, “ Henceforth I call you not servants; for servants knoweth now what his lord doeth; but I have called you friends; for all things I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.”

 

Apostle Matthew shared this scripture with me and he said, God talks to his friends. If you spend time developing a relationship with God. He will speak to you as a friend. This changed my whole view  because I no longer focused on being accurate or developing my prophetic gift. I focused on becoming a friend of God and accuracy in the prophetic came as a result.  So the first step to developing prophetic accuracy is to simply spend time with God. Once you commune with him. He will begin to share his heart with you through dreams, visions, audible voices, encounters, and other methods.  You will find out the Lord has a lot to say. Prophesying became a little easier once I embraced this concept. Before giving a prophetic word, I would begin to ask God quietly in my heart or out loud, “What do you want to say to this person?” or “What is your heart for this person”. Then, the prophetic rivers began to flow. So much so I became acquainted with his voice.

 

Another key is he knows us by name and has a something to say to each person, city, town, or nation. Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you…” So, God knows what he wants to say to a person when giving a word.  The key is to spend time with the God and he will reveal it.  We desperately need the thoughts of God!

Learning to Hear God’s Voice

This will probably be a recurring question and there are a lot of misconceptions to the answer. However, I will attempt to briefly explain so inital steps to help you hear God’s voice and be confident that you have heard him. There are various ways that God speaks to us. However, I want to focus on hearing God through the inner voice which is I believe the initial phase to hearing God speak.

                All throughout scripture what you find recurring is God telling his people variations of these two phrases, “those who have ears, let him hear!” and “Hearken unto my voice”.  So, Why does God have to tell us to listen to him? The scripture clearly dictates that the issues is not with God speaking. It lies in the fact that we are not listening. God is passionate about speaking to his people. He desire to share his heart with us, but our own minds and hearts prohibit us from hearing him. Life can be really demanding and distracting. Some of us have kids, jobs, homework, careers, and other obligations and they demand our attention. So, the first step is to remove any and all distractions of your soul (i.e. mind, will, emotions). This means you have to quiet yourself through various means such as prayer, fasting, or maybe worship. One scripture that I found is helpful when the difficulty of quieting my mind and thoughts before God overtakes me is  2^nd Corinthians 10:5. It reads, “Casting down every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;”. Praying this scripture will break any demonic influences from your mind so that you easily yield yourself to the Lord.

                After you start to spend consistent time with the Lord in prayer and worship, you will notice a distinction from your thoughts and God’s thoughts. As you continue to ask the Lord, to speak to you. In most cases, it will come in unplanned, sporadic thoughts, feelings, or emotions. Listen to these nudges of the Holy Spirit. You don’t have to be in prayer for the Lord to speak to you. He can speak to you throughout your day. However, our minds and hearts must be open. This means that we must always have a receptive heart and mind before the Lord or an openness, if you will. If you posture you heart, you will be surprise as to how much God wants to say.  You will also have to have faith, because the enemy is going to tell you it is not God. You will convince yourself that it is you. However, Leap in faith and just believe it was God. Don’t allow doubt to shake you!

 

I pray that know you  will take advance of your God-given right to hear God’s voice. If you desire to learn more about this topic, please visit http://prophetspace.ning.com.
