Go where I (Papa) send you. Your obedience will be rewarded. Go where I send you, for there is a higher purpose than you can see. As you engage with My instructions, more doors will begin to open. They will remain shut until you take steps towards them. My favor will go with you. You don't have to be afraid of missing it...no, not at all. For you are not alone; I am with you! I am a good Father, and I will make sure you have everything you need to succeed at this, only move forward in faith. Not everything will be picture-perfect clear. If that was the case, then there would be no need for faith, there would be no need for Me.

I had a dream last night where I heard the Lord saying that the people of God are about to enter into knowing a new level of grace and empowerment for the new PACE, SPACE and PLACE. The sense surrounded me in the dream and as I woke about a transition that is taking place in the body of Christ right now where the Lord is moving His people who have given Him their surrendered "YES" into new SPACES, PLACES and PACES. As I awoke the Lord spoke to me about the people of God being awakened to a new level of empowerment, strength and ease that is found in His grace.

A Jew, a Rabbi, and a Christian walk into a bar... What would once be the opening of a great joke - well, is not the great opener it once was...why? In the last few years there has become a great awakening or awareness into the religious beliefs and differences because of the wide spread use and daily consumption of social media. Social media is allowing everyone to have a voice, and every voice has some level of influence to all that hear it.

Jesus said, "My words are spirit and they are life" (John 6:63). Think about that for a minute. The words of Jesus were unlike any other words ever spoken. When the Bible says that "man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the LORD" (Deuteronomy 8:3), it likens the Word of God to spirit food. It feeds our spiritual man just like natural food feeds our bodies. This is how we become partakers of the divine nature. This is how we become "the Word made flesh" in our world (John 1:14).

One of the most powerful ways we can "turn the tide" of what is going on in our lives and the things going on around us is through our surrendered worship. Maybe you feel like the tide is against you right now. Realize that you can turn the tide through your simplicity of worship to the Lord. It does not need to be a big display, but it does need to be fresh. Through the spirit of worship we are able to access the realms of glory where revelation flows. (Revelation 19:10) When revelation flows there is truth present that has the power to make you free. You shall "know" the truth and the truth shall make you free. (John 8:31) The Word of God is truth but it needs to be accompanied with the spirit of revelation.

The prophet Ezekiel speaks of proper Wheel Alignment; "As to the appearance of the wheels and their construction: in appearance they gleamed like chrysolite; and the four were formed alike, and their construction work was as it were a wheel within a wheel." (Ezekiel 1:16) "Wherever the Spirit went, the creatures went and the wheels rose along with them, for the spirit or life of the [four living creatures acting as one] living creature was in the wheels. When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up high beside them, for the spirit or life of the [combined] living creature was in the wheels." (Ezekiel 1:20-21 Amplified Bible) To Align is a verb, an action word. Alignment is all about our actions, our lifestyle, not just the way we think, but what we actually DO.

A girl, bound and gagged, was thrown into a deep pit. She was about to give up all hope when a rock climber propelled down to her, untied her ropes, and brought her back to the surface. "It's going to be OK," he said, carrying her to the safety of the waiting helicopter. "You're going to be OK. I've got you." Way too often we feel like the girl in this story. The things of this world have a way of oppressing us to such an extent that we only see the darkness (fear, hatred, loss and violence) instead of the light (love, hope and peace) that God offers. But God is like the rock climber – always ready to extend His saving grace toward us. We are more than conquerors, because we have been given everything needed to overcome all attacks of the enemy…

Six months ago I started a serious fitness plan. I had gained weight, and I was watching guys my age pack on pounds. Because I have some big dreams that will take several more years to achieve, I need to stay healthy and able to travel. So I talked to some friends about their workout routines, joined a gym and changed my eating habits. The hard work is paying off. I've not only lost weight and gained muscle but I've learned some valuable spiritual lessons in the process. God speaks to me even while I do planks, sit-ups and bench presses! Here are 10 lessons I've learned that will help you get fit both physically and spiritually.

"Great is the Lord, and most worthy of praise, in the city of our God, his holy mountain. It is beautiful in its loftiness, the joy of the whole earth. Like the utmost heights of Zaphon is mount Zion, the city of the Great King." Psalm 48:1 NIV The High and lofty place of Zion embodies the character of God, His attributes and the very essence of His being. The Mountain of Zion is the great edifice of the Temple of God. The work of building the Temple has been the climb up this great Mountain to the Throne of God. "This is the law of the temple: All the surrounding area on top of the mountain will be most holy" (Ez. 43:12). Zion inspires, challenges and moves the heart of man to aspire to greatness, to break through impossibilities and accomplish great feats in the Spirit of God.

There seems to be a common struggle going on in the lives of many in the Body of Christ, especially during this past year. It seems as if we've been contending for breakthrough to no avail in various areas without witnessing it manifest all too quickly. Although this contending can sometimes become frustrating, it's important to keep in mind the analogy of the chipping away of a very large and dense slab of concrete/rock. With each striking of the rock, although you may not see a tremendous amount of breakthrough, little by little, blow by blow, it becomes more weakened and eventually with persistence, it will give way and break in two. The thicker the substance and the more solid it is, will obviously require a greater amount of strength and effort to break it apart.
