Excited About This Very Prophetic Moment: Divine Alignment

As an apostle, prophet, intercessor & servant (to these, God's secrets are revealed), I am finding it overbearingly exciting to be alive in this very prophetic moment of divine alignment. Truly, the blessings and riches of this world pale in comparison to being able to discern and understand what God is doing in the boardroom of heaven AND in the kings of earthly governmental systems.

A question was asked: "Are the saints awake enough?" As I consider this question, I am wondering, are we in the body awake enough to discern the times in which we are living? If we are awake, are we paying attention or are we even interested in what is going on in that realm that literally affects what is going on in our realm?

Truly, this is a time to pray and seek God for more than our own physical needs or comfort. It is a time to pray and get under what the coming Kingdom is preparing and the will of God is declaring! We should be asking the Father for a renewed hunger and thirst to what is needful in this hour and season. Many of you, God wants to use in this plan and indeed, He has His divine time for each of us to be included. Many of you are the midwives that will birth the end-time move of God. We are here for such a time as this and oh how wonderful it is to be in this timing and synchronization of divine events.

My question echoes the above, "Are the saints awake enough?"

He's actually making you!

So you think this is hard? The heat is turned up; The pressure is too great; They say they hear you, but really, they don't get you; The task is bigger than you; The ones you love rebuke you for the sake of shifting you back to their normal; The word God gave you has never been heard of before by them; You are tired of fighting; You seem to lose way more than you give...

Yeah...maybe it is...so you run away & give up.. that's easier...

But, trust me, you standing in the midst of these things it's the very thing that's making you!
Isaiah 48:10

God's Got You!!

In Job 23, Job speaks of the bitter trials, internal conflicts and woes that he is going through, looking for God in every place and in every way, wanting to prepare a complaint to take to Him and receive answers: but not being able to find or hear Him. However, even in the midst of Job's trial, his strange reply is that, "Though I can't find Him...He knows exactly where I'm at..He knows which street I'm on..He will justify me and bring me forth as pure Gold" (vs 10 paraphrased). Job continues that he does not understand God's Mind in the matters for which he is being concerned, but He continually affirms that, "God will perform the thing He has planned and appointed for ME, and He is mindful of all matters (vs 14)." What trust!!!!!! He's slaying me, but I am trusting Him...Not matter what! Job knew God. He knew that God would straighten everything and everyone out (which God does for those well-intentioned friends of Job later in Chapter 42). Job knew God would reveal His purpose in time to come, and God will always pay you for your time & trouble.

David later writes: "Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. The LORD will perfect that which concerns me; thy mercy, O LORD, endures forever: forsake not the works of thine own hands."
-Ps. 138:7-8. I'm saying here that David knew God! The Psalms, I & II Samuel, I & II Kings, and I & II Chronicles give testimony to God's faithfulness to David in all the trials and circumstances he endured. Therefore, David was able to speak of knowing that God will be him and straighten everything out. David understood that God always has a purpose in what He does. He knew that he would be delivered. He knew God would bless & honor him for what he had to endure.

God says to Joshua, "As I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee" (Josh 1:5).

I wrote all of this to say that God has you!! You may not understand all that is going on, but God knows exactly what is going on! God has a plan for what you are going through. He is working on you and for you in your situations that you are enduring. He making you into what He created you to be. He is proving His Sovereignty & Eternal Purpose. God will get the glory. Isn't that what we all want..or what we all say we want..that God would get the glory out of our lives? This may be easy to say/hear, but I understand that your trials are not easy to endure. The press seems so unbearable. But I pray you stay the course. Endure the moment. And be thankful during it. God is faithful. What He promised, He will perform. You and others will see it! He has not lied to you. And He will not lie to you. He will not fail you. He will not forsake you. God is mindful of you!! God's Got This!!!

Much More Than a Meal

BONDING MOMENTS: One of the reasons why families should dine together is because there is so much more than a meal being shared.. Both the body and the soul is nourished.

It's a place where the family (or the friends) can be further knit together in love, community, and spirit. There's an unbreakable bond being forged.. a communion of sorts. It's where you can be celebrated or corrected for all conversations are in openness, and shared without fear, shame, or blame..not many masks as the table..and no need to hide..at the table, you'll know that someone has your back even if they don't agree - because they love your who and not necessarily your do! Even though there may be correction or adjustments, it's normally in a firm but gentle manner that produces the right results..breeds togetherness and intimacy.

Many covenants are formed over a meal, or sealed a covenant with a meal following the ceremony. Consider a wedding ceremony. It's normally followed by a reception. The Lord Jesus established the new covenant at the Passover meal. In one of the businesses I was a part of, they had a saying... "Business is done at the kitchen table." Because of this reason, they are one of the most successful business on the planet. If business execs know how to get to your table to grow their business, then how much more can you grow your family and add to the value of your life?

I, therefore, encourage each family, in this time of busy-ness and on the go, to make time to share all or a meal together. 15 to 20 minutes. You may not say anything at all, but after a while, you'll find things to talk about and growth will begin!!
If you have the opportunity to share a lunch with a friend, do so from time to time! Some people are just looking for someone to talk to.

I'd like to end this as a waiter or waitress that just delivered the food the to table: "Enjoy your meal!"

(By the way, I am a servant!)

...As You Love Yourself...

Grace to you! I saw this poster from an unidentified author on a page of one of my facebook friends and just had to share it with you all today.

In the Bible, our Lord Jesus said these most awesome and often overlooked words. "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." MATTHEW 22:37-40.

It's the second commandment that comes to mind when I read this poster. I believe one of the reasons why many don't treat others well, or aren't treat nicely, is because of the lack of love we have for ourselves. According to verse 39 in the above mentioned passage, we are to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. We do so much for others, that we don't take time to do for ourselves. We must learn to love our unique selves. We deserve the best. We need rest, forgiveness, love, acceptance, blessings, treats, and the ability to express ourselves without fear of repercussions. We can take care of our bodies, dress them well, and participate in godly, holy, and FUN fellowship. We need exercise. We should mindful of what we put in them. We should be careful of our associations and protect our spirits, as well as our hearts. Ask yourself, "Is this good for me? Are they good for me?" There is much to consider in making you better.

However, there is also a purpose for why we would want to do this. It is so that we can have an example of how well someone else-our neighbor-deserves to be treated. Today, a good friend and I were sharing about value. When we value someone or something, we tend to take really good care of them or it. We respect our associates and their time, accomplishments, and lives. Therefore, let us learn to love ourselves better and treat ourselves better. This will lead to an increase of love for others. Besides, Jesus also said that they world would know that we in the His Body were Christians by the love we have for one another!! That's a good thang!

The poster title says...Be Good to You! You are truly worth it! I truly believe God's glory will shine through you as you take the time to do for you all that you can to make you happy. Be the best and the blest to youself!

Warfare Strategies: WORSHIP

God is revealing strategies to effectively fight in this warfare. We often look for the deep things, but there are things we do all the time that can and will defeat the enemy. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.  2 Corinthians 10:4.
On last night, in a service that I was visiting, the Lord began to impart a word in my spirit. He said, “The GREATEST WARFARE strategy in this hour will be worship.” Really? He gave this Word while the minister was preaching. He wasn’t preaching this, but I was taken some place else for a quick moment.
Some warfare strategies include: clapping, dancing, hand movements, prayer, praise, worship, order, His Name and the Name of Jesus.
Worship draws us into the place where we commune with the Father and give Him the glory due His Name. He inhabits the praises of His people. Where is the enemy when God shows up? He doesn’t come around too much right now, but He is getting bolder. Worship brings you into the Father & God’s holy presence and should He so desire…He shares His heart, love, rebuke, correction, instruction and intimacy. He shows you what was, what is, and what’s to come. It’s a blessed place…and a surefire way to put the enemy to silence. Let's overcome the enemy. Let's come to the place of love, mercy and grace. Let us...
Worship Him.

Prayer is a Dialogue, not a Monologue

When people say that they prayed about something or sought the Lord in prayer, and the decision comes back as something against the written word, can they really say they sought the Lord? The Lord will not alter His covenant or retract what went out of His Lips. What was, will be. If He didn't like it then, He will not like it now.

Prayer is a two-way dialogue with the Father. It is not only you talking to Him, but He also speaking with and to you. Most times, His answer will be found in the scriptures He leads you to. That is why is so important to have an understanding of the Word. It needs to be memorized and then learned in the paths of life and study. How can you understand a Rhema without the Logos? Truly, what's spoken will never undo what's written.

Most times, when prayers are made, the petitioner comes to the Father with His requests and desires. After they made their litany, they say "Amen" and get up and go their way. But truly, one should w ait and listen for His answer. Practice in waiting (& the study) will help train you to know His voice. The Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth...not just your desires. -Submitted in Love
