In prayer, I recently saw a vast army of men and women, standing regal and confident, awaiting their marching orders. Yet they appeared more like kings, queens and priests than I anticipated. Their nobility was a badge of honor. Their faces shined brightly, reflecting the very glory of God, filled with yearning as their hearts burned with a passion for more of Him. Their countenance literally caused me to shudder and shake, because they carried the authority of heaven. Every word they spoke was anointed and carried a holy presence that could not be denied. This army stood on a battlefield, but without a single iota of fear in their demeanor. Among them were men, women and children — people from every nation and tongue — standing shoulder to shoulder, connected by brotherly love, dignity, and honor.
As many of you know, I was stricken with Chikungunya virus in May of 2014 while in Haiti, which made walking painful. The doctors told me it could take up to two years for my body to be totally healed. Although I was recovering well, growing stronger every day and praising my Healer, evidently with the two-year anniversary date approaching the Great Physician decided it was time to bring closure to the matter. While I was sitting in my study on February 4, 2016, I experienced a supernatural encounter with the Lord when He suddenly spoke to my spirit and said, "Take up your bed and walk." I felt like lightening from heaven was going through my body, even causing me to scream. The encounter with God lasted for several seconds, and was a powerful, life-changing experience.
The current election cycle in the US has been hotly contested among believers. It's been really surprising to see the soulish display of threats, accusations, and self-imposed ultimatums on Facebook and in the media. Spirit-filled people who are normally mature and wise have often responded in a very soulish way. Elections are important and we should be involved. However, the fragrance of Jesus shouldn't evaporate from our lives in the process. The vindictive, critical spirit from these sons of thunder misrepresents the spirit of wisdom and revelation of knowing Jesus.
It felt like it came out of nowhere. I suddenly heard His voice resonate inside my spirit with perfect clarity. He said, "In June, your church will experience a financial breakthrough." I was filled with expectancy at the news. We were about three years past the 2007-2008 recession, but were still recovering as a church and getting our financial confidence back. June came, but instead of a financial breakthrough it seemed like we went in reverse! It ended up being a difficult summer financially. That breakthrough did finally arrive, but not until the fall of that year. What happened? Did I miss the voice of God?
May is a time in which God is giving us an infusion of new hope. Over the past few months God has been blowing upon the dry bones of prophetic promises that were given to you in the past. These are things that have not come about or they started and then stopped. Things have been changing beneath the surface are now going to spring up with new life. Forgotten promises and prayers from the past are going to be answered. Be open to the answer to your prayers looking different than you may have originally envisioned.
Understanding the new creation reality is so vital to an overcoming Christian life. If you don't know who you really are, you can never experience the fullness of abundant life in Christ. We've heard it preached our entire Christian lives, "You are a new creation! Old things have passed away and all things have become new!" But do we really understand what this means? When we come to Christ, does God just make us better versions of ourselves? Or does something much more profound happen?
Once again the Lord has placed this dream upon my heart. For the majority of this year, the Holy Spirit has been drawing me back and back again to this dream that I had nearly eight years ago. He spoke to me this morning and told me it's time to address it and display it to His Body once again. There is a particular emphasis on a specific portion of the dream that He wants me to highlight to disclose the hour we are in. He has been ministering to my spirit that we have just walked through the dryness of the pool water being drained, and we are indeed at the very brink of the ocean water spilling in with the great force of His Spirit.
Christians have been in a classroom controversy ever since many of them got saved. It is a controversy they have not been able to identify, but they know they are in it. Words escape many Christians as they seek to explain the challenges they are facing, so they blame one thing or another. However, the reality is, everyone who calls themselves a Christian has been, is or will be in a classroom controversy. The controversy is this: Why is what I am reading in the Word of God, hearing from the pulpits of churches and seeing in my personal life, not matching the promises given from a good Father?
As long as we live, we will have opportunities every day to "choose" to overcome the obstacles set in our path or to become apathetic, bored and disinterested in spiritual things. We can choose to draw near and soak in His presence, basking intimately in the manifest presence of God, sharing our deepest heart needs, or we can choose to give up, walking away, to become lukewarm and fainthearted, having lost our first love. If we fall in love with Him again, we will be able to endure and choose obedience, so that we can be His overcoming bride in the kingdom. Even as Adam and Eve had the power to choose so do we in this life.
Heavenly Father I speak to the seed. I say grow seeds. Flourish! I speak to the seed that it was snatched away by the evil one because they did not understand, more seed will be sown and it will not be snatched away they will understand! It will stay in your heart! Evil one cease and desist because you cannot steal what is not yours, what belongs to the King of the harvest!
