Faith is not a mental attitude it is a powerful substance and creative force. It is an impartation of God's substance into a living man to bring things to pass here on earth. When God imparts faith (substance) into our spirit it becomes a reality existing in the realm of spirit. Faith is a power that takes hold of the unseen realm and creates a positive life of blessing and prosperity. Faith comes through a rhema word that imparts substance to us by God. The vision, image, or picture now exists in your heart. You see the thing hoped for or believed for and you speak it into being. Confess with the mouth and believe with the heart. Our tongue forms, controls, and defines your world.
I pray for our family that Jesus would truly the Lord of our lives. Many people know Him as Savior, but they don't know him as Lord. They don't follow him with a life of obedience – even using the grace of God as a ticket to sin. The problem is that some just don't understand the power of intimacy. They don't understand the power of the relationship. It's one thing to just talk to Jesus. It's another thing to listen to Him, commune and have that fellowship. It's a divine fellowship that God calls us to, rather than just an intellectual engagement. It's not about gathering a bunch of information. Okay° it's good to have a library. It's great to have a library.
Have you been dealing with spiritual warfare? Are you getting discouraged and overwhelmed with everything going on around you? Let's read Hebrews 10:11-17 (NASB): Every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins; but He (Jesus Christ), having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God, waiting from that time onward until His enemies be made a footstool for His feet. For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified. And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us; for after saying, "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days," says the Lord: "I will put my laws upon their heart, and on their mind I will write them," He then says, "and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more."
A few years ago on my way to South Africa, I read in a magazine on the plane about whales. The article was a very long one so I gathered much knowledge about them. Next to me was a man that had visited and interacted with whales on more than one occasion. He didn't seem to know as much as the magazine yet there was a wonder in his eyes and an expression on his face as he told me about them, that captured me in a way that the magazine with all its knowledge and information never did. Once I arrived in South Africa I naturally went to the same place he spoke about where the whales come to mate and often come very close to the shore. I will never forget the first time I saw one of the huge sperm whales playing, jumping, splashing, and caring for its young.
This morning as I was doing my laundry, I was waiting for the spin cycle to complete. I began slowly walking back and forth praying in the Spirit. As I started walking the Holy Spirit showed me a picture of lions in a zoo pacing back and forth in their cage. They were agitated from being locked up, and wanting to be set free back into the wild. They were strong and muscular and when meat was thrown into their cage they devoured it. When they are released from captivity and get back out into the wild, they are going to take off running into the environment that they were created to live in.
The Name Jesus means "Salvation." If we were living in His time on earth, in His area, that is what we would have called Him: Salvation. We often name things after a meaning. It wasn't even that uncommon of a name because there were others who had the name Jesus we can read in the Bible, like Bar Jesus. That name still today is a common name also in other countries. But God was His Father in a special way and He named Him Salvation. Matthew 1:21 says to Joseph: "She [Mary] will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus [or Salvation], because he will save his people from their sins." That in itself is plenty to think about.
Earlier this year I had an afternoon in which I sat down and reread a classic book by Kenneth E. Hagin called, Marriage, Divorce and Remarriage. For about four hours I read slowly and mediated on what Brother Hagin shared. In my opinion it's probably one of the best books ever written on the subject of marriage because it not only covers the natural relationship between husband and wife, but it also makes the spiritual connection between Christ and his spiritual bride, the Church. After reading the book in its entirety it was then nighttime so I went to sleep. Later that night I had a profound vision from the Lord which brought me further understanding of Christ's love for his bride, the Church.
"'In the last days', God says, 'I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.'" Acts 2:17–18 NIV Since last Pentecost (May 31, 2020), I noticed the ability to see in the spirit started to increase. I heard the Lord say that the seer anointing is going to be re-released back to us on the 45th anniversary of the late seer-prophet Bob Jones' major encounter in Heaven (August 8, 1975).
This week I did a video call with a gifted young man named Billy who serves on the staff of a growing church in South Africa. He has a big heart of compassion for people. He knows how to make disciples. And he's a great communicator. I told him I would love it if he were my pastor, even though he's only 32. But as I encouraged him, and many young leaders like him, I'm aware that ministry is not an easy assignment. Like everything else in life, it's full of risks. And I want to make sure anyone out there who is praying about stepping into ministry knows what they will face.
This is from the heart of Jesus for some very precious people. The Lord says to you, "I AM the God of broken hallelujahs. I AM the God of YOUR broken hallelujahs. When the hardships of this life leave you weary, brokenhearted, and troubled, when the hurt weighs heavy inside, remember that I AM the God of broken hallelujahs.
