Let’s examine one of the ways the Word of God tells us that we can
overcome to have the mind of Christ:
2 Corinthians 10:4-6
“For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely
powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and
every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking
every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, and we are ready to punish
all disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete.”
John 16:12 12
I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
Isaiah
43:19
"Do not remember the former things nor consider the things of old. See, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not be aware of it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert"
Our mouth must birth to speak words of life. Our mouth is the vehicle of the Spirit.
Elijah was a true mouth of God, the prophet of thunder. He spoke and exposed the false prophet Baal. The false prophet will project by his mouth against the true prophet, the true sons of God.
"Do not remember the former things nor consider the things of old. See, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not be aware of it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert"
Our mouth must birth to speak words of life. Our mouth is the vehicle of the Spirit.
Elijah was a true mouth of God, the prophet of thunder. He spoke and exposed the false prophet Baal. The false prophet will project by his mouth against the true prophet, the true sons of God.
True Sons, must be birthed by the Spirit,
usually with great anguish.
“Is the Past Blocking
Your Path?”
God wants to do something new in your life
this year but there could be something that's getting in your way—besides the
flesh and the devil. It's called the past. Hear me: You need to press past the
pain of your past. If you aren't willing to press past the pain of your past,
you will never have total victory in your life. Consider Paul the apostle's
words in Philippians:
Philippians
3:13-14
"Brothers, I do not count myself to
have attained, but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are
behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the
goal to the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
You have three choices: (1) press past the
pain now; (2) press past the pain later and be miserable until then; or (3)
keep the pain forever. No one can do this for you.
“You have to do your
own pressing”
We need to lose the soul tie of past betrayal and
failures of the past, and begin to remove the hesitations out of our lives and
minds our wills and emotions. To forget
and to cut of the old even of the generations.
So what does it mean to press? It means
"to exert steady force or pressure against something." We have- to
press against the pressure that's coming against us. There's pressure against
our momentum. There's pressure to go backwards. There's
pressure to give up altogether.
The pull of the past, is a demonic strategy
that works like a magnet. It keeps trying to draw us back.
I'll tell you right now, pressing past your
pain will cause suffering. But you can either suffer the way you are, or you
can suffer through the pain of change and into victory. When the pain of change
comes, our flesh looks for an exit.
Our souls would rather stay in the familiar
pain than press through the unfamiliar pain. We don't want to suffer, but our
suffering will only truly end when we get to the other side of the pain
“Leaving the Past in
the Dust”
There are fault lines in our soul, but the Spirit of the Lord lays Godly Foundations. It is time to rip up and pull out the fault lines of the generations, fault lines keep us in a cycle of destruction of drug addictions and destructive relationships.
1 Samuel 2:8
“He raises up the
poor out of the dust, and lifts up the beggar from the
dunghill, to set them among
princes, and to make them inherit the Throne of Glory: for the pillars of the
earth are the LORD'S, and he
hath set the world upon them.”
Isaiah 52:2
Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the
bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
I heard the Lord say, It's time to leave your past in the dust, shake
the dust off your feet, and walk in the future and hope I have planned for
you." Leaving your past in the dust often means renewing your mind
Hebrews 12:27
And this word’ once
more, signifies
the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are
made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
Hosea 4:6
My people are
destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will
also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast
forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children
Mark 9:1
And He answered and
told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restores all things; and
how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be
set at naught
Psalms 44:25
For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaves unto the
earth.
He yearns for us also to know the living,
resurrected Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. The Father wants to enable us to hear, know
and obey the risen Lord.
But often we don't realize He is speaking to us. And no wonder we miss
His cues. His voice is like the sound of many rushing waters!
Revelation says, "His voice was like the sound of many waters." Notice
the use of the word many. When
it comes to many waters, there is the sound of a gentle, trickling stream; the
sound of a thunderstorm, with rain pouring down; the sound of waves crashing in
upon the shore; and the overwhelming sound of a river at flood stage, clearing
away everything in its ensuing path.
Revelation 1:15
His feet are like fine bronze, as having been refined in a furnace; and His voice is like the voice of many waters;
“God's voice
today is like the sound of these many rushing waters”
Jeremiah 16:9
“For thus says the
LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will cause to cease out of this
place in your eyes, and in your days, the voice of mirth, and the voice of
gladness, the Voice
of the Bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.”
Job 38:27
“To satisfy the
desolate and waste ground; and to
cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?”
“Spring Forth”
Revelation 22:2
In the midst- of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was
there the Tree of
life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit
every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the Healing of the nations.
Proverbs 11:30
The fruit of the righteous is a Tree of life; and he that wins souls is wise.
Don't expect the worst, expect the best!
The best is yet to come. The best wine is saved for the last day. Don't wait
for the other shoe
“Let
the enemy persecute
my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the
earth, and lay mine
honor in the dust. Selah.”
“And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will
make there an Altar
unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me
in the way which I went.”
“The Gospel of peace that your feet are cover”
Job 27:5
God forbid that I should justify you: till
I die I will
not remove mine integrity from me.
Expect a miracle, expect answers to your
prayers, and expect
the best in you and see the best in others.
Don't expect the worst, expect the best!
The best is yet to come. The best wine is saved for the last day. Don't
wait for the other shoe to fall. But get up on your feet and put on your new
shoes of the Gospel of peace that your feet are covered in. Expect a miracle,
expect answers to your prayers, and expect the best in you and see the best in
others.
Expect the fullness of the promises of the Word of God to come into full
view in this new season. Expect the words that He has spoken over your life to
come true.
For God is the Faithful One. Become pregnant with His vision and birth
it in this new season...push! Expect the new birth in this new season that is
upon you. I've heard these words stirring in my spirit: Expectation,
exceedingly and abundantly.
"Expectation"
Romans 8:19-21
"For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation
was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it
in hope; because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of
corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God."
Philippians 1:20
"According to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I
shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be
magnified in my body, whether by life or by death."
His ways are higher than ours and His thoughts
for us are greater. He is removing the obscurities and bringing clarity and His
light is shining in our hearts today.
This is spring time in the spirit and the
turtle doves are singing a love song.
Song of Solomon 2:10:12
My beloved speaks and says to me, 'Arise, my love, my fair one. And come
away. For behold, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone. The flowers
appear on the earth once again; the time for singing has come, and the voice of
the turtledove is heard in our land.”
Look in the mirror and see the image of the one who created you in His
image. The one who loves you with an everlasting love, the one who has drawn
you by His loving kindness. You are His beloved and He is yours. Let old things
pass away and behold all things are becoming new.
“Let it be today
that today is a new day”
“Let faith arise”
The
Church MUST rise
with the Fire and the Blood of the Lion and the Lamb or we will be
annihilated. With the eye of the Spirit, we look at what really happened in World
War II. We see Hitler as Hecate. We see the demonic targeting of the
bloodline of Abraham – and Jesus. We look at the Black Suns … and they are
rising again. This is a vitally equipping word … for
such a time as THIS.
Watch
for the words" God gives from the Word. He has already been speaking them
to you! Obey the warnings. Pursue the promise. And WATCH FOR THE ALLIANCES GOD SENDS TO YOU. Perhaps there are three key
people or leaders you are called to align with, join and advance with this
year?
Deuteronomy 11:31
For you are about to cross
the Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God is giving you,
and you shall Possess
It and Live In It.
Leviticus 20:24
But I have said to you, “You will inherit
their land, since I will give it to you as an inheritance, a land flowing with
milk and honey.” I am the LORD your God, who has set you apart from the peoples.
Survey the gates
of their cities and measure the length of their walls, for their walls shall fall
down flat and their gates and their occupants will not prevail against the Church
of my sending.
The enemy will be bread for you if you feed your spirit on the Bread of
Heaven - the Word of God. Jesus says in Matthew It is written, man shall not
live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
Matthew 4:4
"But He (Jesus)
answered and said: “It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by
every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
The Word of God is the bread you eat that becomes a sword in your mouth!
God will open-up His word (logos) to you and reveal a "sword" (rhema)
in the Scripture! When you see it grab it.
Romans 15:18
For I will not dare to speak of
any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the
Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,
Speak what God gives you. Prophesy and proclaim what you see. Expect
your utterance to authorize angelic activity through your prayers! As the
Apostle Paul said to, "take the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of
God"
Ephesians 6:17
And take the helmet of salvation and the Sword of the Spirit,
which is the Word of God,
We have crossed over into a place where our
spiritual warfare is being played out in the institutions of nations. We are
taking on giants just like the children of Israel did. I choose to believe what
Caleb said in Numbers.
Numbers 14:9
Do
not rebel against the Lord, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our
bread; their protection has departed from them, and the Lord is with us. Do not
fear them."
The
clashing of Heaven and Hell will show up in the conflict of ideologies. The
swords will collide as two incompatible spirit realms clash through vessels
under their influence. This
collision of kingdoms has already started in the political mountain, but will
expand to all seven!
"Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you,
but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of
how you think. This will empower you to discern God's perfect plan for you,
living a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes."
Romans 12:2
Do not be conformed to this world, but be
transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to discern what
is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God. For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but think of yourself with sober judgement, acoording to the measure of faith God has given you.
Ezekiel 37:9
Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and
say to the wind, Thus says the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O Breath,
and breathe upon these slain, that they may live-So I prophesied as he
commanded me, and the Breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon
their feet, an exceeding great army.
“Rising- up from the dust of the past”
2019 is going to bring not just a new season,
but also a new era. God is now blowing on the dry bones of those who have felt
forgotten by the Lord. He is beginning to awaken things in you that you might
have forgotten about. God is resurrecting things you laid down in previous
seasons and bringing new clarity to your calling.
“Rising- up out
of the Dust”
Ezekiel 37:4
Again, He said unto
me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of
the LORD.
The world is going to awaken to the awesome
power of the Lord. There is a reason for all the turmoil and attacks. It is the
enemy not wanting us to see what God is doing.
God is more powerful than satan, God’s Power is unlimited, and some
people have fallen into the trap of looking at the storms and not to the Lord's
solution. As darkness seems to increase around us, it is at this- time that God
uses these events and circumstances to draw people to Himself.
We are about to see various movements of God that will result in global
harvest and revival. Do not be discouraged by how things look in the natural
realm. God is moving in our lives right
now to align and position us for some amazingly good things.
Jeremiah 33:3
Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable
things you do not know.
Ecclesiastes 3:20
“All go unto one
place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.”
“Blood to be shed for the salvation of the world”
The very idea that God could shed His literal
Blood in a literal place and that that literal place could then descend into
being only incidentally relevant is beyond comprehension.
There is a reason Jerusalem and its destruction is the desire of every
principality. Destruction of Jerusalem destroys the master plan, and it is the
master plan of our God that will guarantee Jerusalem's future. There is also a
guarantee that Jerusalem will ultimately be a place that reveals the salvation
of God to the whole world.
That guarantee is the spilled Blood of Jesus. You cannot understand the
significance of the Blood of Jesus if you do not know how to also apply it to
the geographical place He willingly shed it.
“To Ascend into Heavenly places”
Besides the above passage let me quote out of Isaiah;
Isaiah 62:1
For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, for Jerusalem's sake I will not
keep quiet, till her salvation shines out like the dawn, her salvation like a
blazing torch.
Isaiah 62:6-7
I have posted watchman on your walls, O Jerusalem: they will never be
silent day or night. You who call on the Lord, give yourselves no rest, and
give Him no rest till He establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of the
earth.
Psalm 137:5-6
If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill. May my
tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, If I do not
consider Jerusalem my highest joy.
For those who would diminish Jerusalem to
"Old Testament" importance, remember that
this is the very location that Jesus Christ was crucified. I remember my first time in Jerusalem, being aware of the weight of the
place where the God of the whole universe decided to allow His Blood to be shed
for the salvation of the world. The
very idea that God could shed His literal Blood in a literal place and that
that literal place could then descend into being only incidentally relevant is
beyond comprehension.
“The Shed Blood
of Jesus in Israel”
Israel may be tiny in the natural but it is absolutely huge in the
matrix of the spirit world. Every global kingdom assignment begins with a
proper reckoning of the preeminent place of Jerusalem and Israel.
2 Corinthians 3:18
“But we all, with open
face beholding as in a glass the Glory of the Lord, are changed into the same
image from Glory to Glory, even
as by the Spirit of the Lord.”
Matthew 9:21
For she said within
herself, If I may but touch His garment, I shall be whole.”
Psalm 44:26
Arise for our help,
and redeem us for thy mercies' sake
“This is my Body – This is my Blood”
Psalm 106:38
And shed innocent
blood, even the blood
of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of
Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.”
Psalm 102:13
…You will rise- up and have compassion on Zion, for it
is time to show her favor—the appointed time has come. For Your servants
delight in her stone’s and take pity on her dust. So the nations will fear the name
of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth will fear Your Glory
God Bless
