Jesus asked His disciples, saying, "Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?" They replied, some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others say Jeremiah or one of the prophets." Then He asked them, "But who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Then as Jesus answered Peter, He was actually saying (paraphrased) Peter, you have received this answer not by natural knowledge but by revelation from My father in heaven and upon this rock (revelation) I will build My church, and the gates of hell (imprisonment from the enemy through the kingdom of darkness) will not prevail against it.
I was at lunch today with a sister who has been through an amazingly hard year. I cannot even describe all she and her husband, have been though, in almost every area of their lives. Some things just bizarre, and occurring in a seemingly relentless, and often simultaneous manor. But as I was sharing with her today, I told her I was able to see in both of them a new strengthening, establishing, and UPGRADE coming their way! The manifestations of the spiritual upgrades were actually sequalae of physical upgrades now coming to their home. As I said, they had one issue, after another appear, sometimes simultaneously. Many things needed to be demolished, fixed, removed, replaced, and upgraded. The list went on and on, at home and at work.
For the past few months, I have been seeing new gates and doorways opening in the spiritual realm. This is going to shift the spiritual atmosphere over those who are discouraged and under heavy attack of oppression. Each month I see a different door open in Heaven that releases the opportunity for people to get out of this time of heavy attacks and setbacks. Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know. Jeremiah 33:3 NIV The spiritual atmosphere is ripe and ready for you to hear God. I have never seen the heavens so open, but it might come with a battle. Ask the Lord to speak to you and watch for answers to come quickly.
Yesterday, our youngest daughter came home from college for a visit. She sat down in the living room and shared the following testimony. Apparently, a beautiful yellow bird was injured and in pain, with a broken wing, on her college campus. The bird was afraid, clearly panicking in the street, while people walked right past, hurrying on toward their destinations. No one seemed to notice or care. Hour after hour it was struggling and in pain, probably close to death.
"Don't be intimidated in any way by your enemies. This will be a sign to them that they are going to be destroyed, but that you are going to be saved, even by God himself" (Phil. 1:28, NIV). Before getting up to minister recently, my wife sensed that I was battling intimidation. She leaned over to me and whispered, "Your new name is 'Confidence!" Immediately, a lion roared inside me, and an alarm went off in hell. I rose up to minister, and the Lion of the Tribe of Judah took over the meeting. The Lord is renaming you today also. Your new name is "Confidence!"
I got into my car to drive home after a long day at work. I remembered what I'd heard earlier in the week about a simple prayer: "whatever" (palms up) in the morning and "enough" (palms down) in the evening. I took a deep breathe, felt "whatever" was still an appropriate posture, and turned my palms upward. That one gesture set in motion the next few minutes. I began driving home, feeling tired, a little uncertain, the desire to escape from my emotions, and randomly my Grandmother came to mind. She was likely at home and available to talk.
They say you're never supposed to start a story with "The phone rang," but the phone did ring, waking me from an exhausted sleep at 2:00 a.m. My husband's son had stayed with him at the hospital to allow me a few hours at home. Now I heard this voice say, "You need to come to the hospital." And after three hours, I returned home a widow. Nothing can fully prepare you for the experience of grief. Even if your loved one's death was not a complete surprise, your world has shockingly changed forever. Your life, your thoughts, your time, your belongings, your emotions, your daily routine, your faith—suddenly they all feel foreign. It can be difficult to even recognize yourself. What do you do now?
I hear the Spirit of the Lord saying, "You are coming into a season where suddenly you will see the manifestations of all that you have been praying for. It will be one breakthrough after another. There is a grace present to overcome the delays that you have experienced over the last six months." I see a green light in the Spirit.
Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like (James 1:23–24 NIV). During ancient time periods, and across many cultures it was a widespread belief that dreams were divine messages from the invisible realm. Dreams ignite the conscious awareness of our physical, emotional, intellectual, social, and spiritual well-being. Dream symbols come from different areas including our present life, our past memories, and our subconscious and conscious mind.
I recently read an article about a pastor who said he was leaving Christianity because it didn't work for him. The article was about how God didn't work in his marriage and how Christians were mean. I think it also mentioned how God didn't seem to bless him with material things. While reading it I discovered that he was really upset that his congregation didn't approve of the affair he was having with a married woman. While I can't relate to having affairs with married women I can relate to how sometimes it seems as if Christianity isn't working.
