When there are clogs in your spiritual drain it causes stagnancy. If the water of God's Presence is not flowing there could be a blockage making our spiritual waters dirty over time. It is important that we are able to recognize clogs and the things that clog quickly, seeing with the eyes of revelation. If we are not accustomed to experiencing the flow of God's Presence in our lives then it will be much harder to recognize when things are not as they should be. If oppression is what you are used to then spiritual clogs may not be obvious.
How can the church prepare for Christ's return? The answer is in our ability to stay seated in the heavenlies with Christ. This means our soul needs to submit to our spirit and we must keep our minds on things above, such as our spiritual position in Christ. The Apostle Paul received revelation from heaven on his spiritual position in Christ and he had many writings on this subject. One of those revelations was that he was seated in the heavenly realms with Christ Jesus.
I am seeing a hard land, dry dirt, no life—just a solid piece of hard ground. I see the ground with cracks running through it—cracks breaking up the dry, hard dirt—cracks breaking apart the hard and difficult places in your life. I hear the Lord saying, "Difficulty has been your portion, but I am breaking up the difficulty in your lives—the places where you have felt stuck, the places where your flesh has been confined, and the places where the enemy has attacked. I am gathering my forces to activate on your behalf and break up the hard-fallow ground that has been before you."
And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment. 1 Chronicles 12:32 To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1 There have been times in my life as a believer that one statement from God literally changed everything for me. Other times I have read a book, that was divinely ordained for me to read at that specific time, and it opened up revelatory knowledge to me that changed the way I read the Bible.
There is a lot of false doctrine out there and people often try to please the preacher. I remember thinking one time that I needed to be sick in order to get well at the meetings if I was going to see Jesus there! People know doctrines sometimes more than Him, Jesus the Person! He is NEW every morning! He is the Center and Creator of Everything!!! HE has the power, not the pastor, teacher, evangelist, prophet and apostle! Those gifts are His servants!
When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him. And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean." Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. Matthew 8:1–3 There is so much wrong believing today about who Jesus is. I am asking you to throw out every idea, concept, and picture that you may have of a "religious" Jesus. Allow me to introduce the real Jesus to you, for this is where it all begins.
There is a lot of buzz right now in Christian circles about the topics of mental health, PTSD, codependency, trauma, inner healing, therapy, etc. I feel like in many ways, those topics are intertwined, so it's fitting really that so many people are beginning to talk about them all. In fact, I will likely touch some on each of these topics here in this article. If anything the buzz of these topics was greatly compounded when notable Charismatic Christian leader Todd White spoke out on said topic.
"Yet many of the rulers also believed in Him. But because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they be put out of the synagogue. For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God" (John 12:42-43). When Jesus revolutionized His nation with the gospel of the kingdom, He was continually questioned and criticized for His visionary initiatives and unorthodox methods. The Pharisees were the politically correct referees who sought to silence His voice and penalize any advancement of His message. Knowing that their power and influence were losing ground, their religious mindsets could not comprehend or celebrate the very truths that could set them free from their own man-made bondage.
Is there ever a more appropriate time to warn of the dangers of comparison and envy than the holidays? The most curated, edited versions of our lives are on display for all to see like never before in the history of humankind. Don't get me wrong, I love seeing your families, delicious food, presents, trips, and more. "It's the most wonderful time of the year." I'm no Scrooge/Grinch. This time of the year can bring a quiet darkness, though, for many. It's a darkness I believe is exacerbated by the glossy, personal PR campaigns that provide online, addictive platforms like Facebook and Instagram free content.
I want to share a prophetic dream that I had a few years ago. Although this word is for women, it is not promoting or preferring women over men. For the past few years there has been an increase in spiritual warfare against women. The Holy Spirit brought me back to this dream today. In the dream there was a great swarm of large, brightly colored yellow and black bumblebees flying around in my room as I was reading my bible.
