This is the word of the Lord right now: "Since Satan has over played his hand against you, I am going to reveal his plans. I am forcing him to show you what has been hidden and give you a plan to overcome!" I also heard the Lord say, "Do not focus on the attacks, but in the midst of the storm you are going to see My Light. I am making a way in the wilderness." Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength. Nehemiah 8:10 NIV It's time to move out of the place of grieving over your losses and move into joy, even if it does not appear to be there yet. As you do this, the Lord is going to release new joy and strength. A few weeks ago, I was being shut down by Satan at my office in Marina del Rey. Grace had lifted for me to be there, so I pressed into the Lord with joy and took some radical steps. A few weeks later, here I am repositioned in a new office in Encino, California!
In part one we began to distinguish between what it means to be "added unto" as opposed to living in the "multiplied" "grace & peace" of God (2Pe.1:2). This was done to bring understanding to the difference between daily covenant life & those times & seasons when breakthroughs come, promises are fulfilled & advances- otherwise impossible to us- are made. After we briefly defined what it means to be "added unto" in Mt.6:33, we went to 2 Peter 1:1-4 which reads: "Simon Peter, a bond-servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ: Grace & peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God & of Jesus our Lord.
Men and women in union of mind and heart, in agreement with God, carry the seed of Elohim. The fullness of the Plan of God usually comes first to us in Seed form, infused with the DNA of God, where the seed must be received, cherished, protected, watered with the Word, and cared for until it comes into fruition in its fullness of maturity. The seed of Elohim is scattered over the Earth awaiting those who will receive and care for it. These are those who will take hold of these seeds, and in union with God, bring it to birth to the Glory to God.
Everyone wants to know what the Lord is saying. Believers search the internet for prophetic words, messages, sermons and videos for a word from God. We read about encounters and supernatural experiences that others had with the Holy Spirit and wonder why we don't have the same. Those people paid a high price for what they have. They cultivated the anointing by spending time with Jesus in the secret place. They died to the things of this world and immersed themselves in His presence.
God calls us to have a "Spirit Saturated Life." Two people can have the same goals. What makes all the difference is the METHOD by which you achieve those goals. There are many benefits of being continually filled and saturated with the Spirit. One is that you become more tuned into the things of heaven rather than things of earth. The Kingdom of God works from the inside out!? Enjoy God Always!
God isn't human, so He doesn't have anxiety, stress, worry and fear. However, He is not oblivious to any of that because He sees us and knows everything about our lives. He knows that this is at the root of every addiction we have, especially a food addiction. We stress and worry because we have taken all the problems in our corner of the world on our shoulders, even though we know God is the only one who can hold the whole world in the palm of His hand. We're stressing over issues that aren't ours to solve. Every issue does not end in us. It ends in God.
"A multitude of camels [from the eastern trading tribes] will cover you [Jerusalem]. The young camels of Midian and Ephah; All those from Sheba [who once came to trade] will come bringing gold and frankincense and proclaiming the praises of the Lord" (Isa. 60:6, AMP). I believe that the Lord is going to restore the years the locust, the canker worm, the caterpillar and the palmerworm ate away (Joel 2:25), provide times of refreshing for you (Acts 3:19) and that you will pursue, overtake and recover all (1 Sam. 30:8)! After a year of loss, I believe that this will be your year of recovery.
Many of you probably remember the popular logo WWJD that stood for those words. We don't see that emphasis as much today as we once did, but we should still be asking the question. A question the Lord has been asking me and I know this will provoke others, is: Did Jesus go around building churches or synagogues? Here is what the Bible says that Jesus did from Acts 10:38-43 - "38 God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. 39 And we are witnesses of all things which He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they killed by hanging on a tree. 40 Him God raised up on the third day, and showed Him openly, 41 not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, even to us who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead.
It's almost hard for me to believe that my husband, Dave, and I have been married for over 50 years. When I look back, I am still amazed at what the Lord has done in our relationship and just how far we've come. I will never forget the day we first met. One evening I was outside washing my mother's car, when Dave pulled up in front of the house with his friend who lived upstairs. Trying to flirt with me, he leaned out his window and said, "When you're finished with that car, would you like to wash mine?" I sarcastically snapped back, "If you want your car washed, buddy, then wash it yourself!"
My child, pay attention to what I say. Listen carefully to my words. Don't lose sight of them. Let them penetrate deep into your heart, for they bring life to those who find them, and healing to their whole body. Proverbs 4:20–22 NLT We all want to live victorious, overcoming lives. And to live right, we need to believe right. But Pastor Prince, how do I begin to believe right? Hearing plays a huge part in right believing. You cannot believe right unless you are hearing right. Man, that was good! I don't want you to miss that.
