Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name." And He said to them, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you." Luke 10:17–19 Our Lord Jesus sent seventy disciples out against the kingdom of darkness, as "lambs among wolves." Look in today's Scripture at the exchange between the seventy disciples and the Lord Jesus when they returned. My friend, the power and authority our Lord Jesus gave them to operate in is the power and authority we have as believers today!
We all have standards in which we try to live to exude excellence and purity. We also have expectations that we want to see manifested in other people. But what happens when those expectations aren't meant? How do we deal with the downfall or the repetitive behaviors people exhibit that doesn't meet our expectations? I remember years ago, a person in my life not living up to the spiritual walk I desired for them. I am seldom tolerant of a person's lack of spiritual growth and pressing through to their breakthrough.
"Whatever was written beforehand is meant to instruct us in how to live. The Scriptures impart to us encouragement and inspiration so that we can live in hope and endure all things" (Rom. 15:4, TPT). I love this Scripture. God spoke to my heart many years ago, "Teach women today from women of yesterday," and confirmed this word with Romans 15:4. I love the testimonies in the Word of God about the women (and men) who have walked before us.
I will return her vineyards to her and transform the Valley of Trouble into a gateway of hope. She will give herself to me there, as she did long ago when she was young, when I freed her from her captivity in Egypt. Hosea 2:15 NLT During April, we are walking through the Valley of Trouble. But there is a Door of Hope as we enter into May. I heard the Lord say, "I am going to turn this difficult time of the Valley of Trouble into a Doorway of Hope that is going to change things forever." In the midst of the difficult times we are going through, I want to impart a word of hope for what is ahead. The Covid-19 (or coronavirus) attack is a storm that is going to blow over soon. This is an attack against the coming moves of God and revival.
Yes, these are the last days and I am doing a mighty work within My church. I am pouring out My abundance of grace this very hour but you must humble yourself and cry out to Me to move in your midst. You must lay hold of the horns of My altar and pray for mercy to be poured out upon those who do not yet know Me. You are My people and I am willing to do a mighty work through you but you must be willing and yielded for Me to do so. Cry out for My abundance of grace to touch your households this hour and stand upon My promise that you and your household shall be saved.
In these days of uncertainty, one thing is certain, God is good & His love endures. God is not worried & He has a Good plan. Many are asking Him What's next?! As I also asked God this question, I was reminded of a vision that I had on 12/22/2012. I realized it was a timeless vision from the One who holds time in His hands. In sharing this, I hope it encourages your hearts. I saw the Bride of Christ standing on the threshold. And I heard the voice of our Heavenly Papa say: "Cross over, make a move, take one Giant step forward in Me. It is time for you to realize who you are in Me and it is time for you to realize who I am in you.
Over the years I have had the chance to share many bottles of wine with friends and loved ones. Many have been the moments that have been used as an excuse to enjoy some of the finest offerings from the world's vineyards. Yet out of all of these occasions, there is one bottle of wine in particular that I will never forget. It wasn't so much the events that prevent me from forgetting it as those times have their own reasons why I remember them in spite of the wine. The unshakable memory of why this wine sticks out is because its taste impacted me in such a way that it quite literally changed the way I see and understand wine today.
I'm an extrovert. I thrive when I'm around people. I love crowds and parties. I prefer a minimum of seven hugs a day and I'm known to have two and three-hour conversations with friends. That's why I'm miserable right now, in this era of "social distancing." Telling me to stay away from other human beings is like depriving me of food. I hate it. But I get it. I know we have to protect others from the spread of the dreaded coronavirus. I'm washing my hands. I'm limiting contact. My travel schedule has been cleared. I know I have to tolerate some cabin fever until the worst kind of fever is no longer a threat.
The sky is not the limit; it's just the beginning! I was attending one of Cindy Jacob's speaking engagements in late 2018 when the Lord spoke to me. The following is a paraphrase of what He imparted: My prophets need to begin building me a platform that is large enough for Me to inhabit, to house My glory. My prophets keep postponing my coming, even with the terminology they use to prophesy—there will be a time coming, the new season will begin or in two years from now this or that will happen.
We are continuing a section on tithing. And particularly THE ISSUE of "TITHING-UP." We have already talked about how it should not embarrass us or anger us to talk about proper giving. Jesus talked more about giving and stewardship than any other topic. As a matter of fact, Jesus talked more about giving money than He did about the Kingdom of Heaven. While tithing is not emphasized (or taught) in the New Testament, it was assumed. The early church were Jewish believers who practiced Jewish customs (Acts 2:5, 21:20). In other words, the Jews tithed! They didn't need to be reminded!
