STAND STRONG AND HOLD FAST

Stand strong and hold fast….
don’t back down or give up one inch of territory that you have taken. 
No matter how difficult your circumstances or how seemingly impossible your situation,
the Lord your God is working all things to your good behind the scenes. 
It is just a matter of time. 
Stand strong and hold fast!



Deuteronomy 8:
18But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth,
that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

The Light at the End of the Tunnel


In a vision, I was in a dark tunnel, but I could see a lovely, bright light at the end.
Then the opening of the tunnel turned to the shape of a cross.
Soon all was dark and I could see nothing.
Then I heard the Lord say, “Trust Me.”
Here is what He has to say about this vision:

Remember, beloved: I am with you. I will never forsake you.
No matter how dismal and dark things seem, I will always be with you.

The world is going to take on a dark, dismal quality.
You are going to wonder at times just what is occurring.
I tell you, dear one, that I am always right beside you, guiding your steps.
Don’t let the situations in the world cause you strife.
Don’t look on the dismal days ahead as anything but what they are.
They are times that will lead you into the wonders of your God.
They are times that will show you the constant, rich, quality of My love.

The enemy is thrilled with his accomplishments.
He thinks that he has the upper hand, but he is sorely mistaken.
Yes, he will accomplish a certain dismal quality upon the earth.
Yes, some will stand and stare at what he is doing, denying the truth of the living God.
But I tell you, beloved, that those who will follow Me, maintaining their focus, will know true cheer in their lives.
They will identify My work in all that occurs and applaud and praise Me.

I am your God.
The way of the cross is for you.
Follow My course.
See the benefits that come with following the Almighty and know true heart bliss.

I am eternal. I do all things well.
Never forget these truths. No matter how things look, or what occurs, remember: I am with you.
I am able to carry out My plans and you will see the wonder of the coming hour and all of its brightness.

I declare to you this day, beloved.
You will see and partake of the wonder and gladness of heart that I have for you.
You will not be forsaken. You will be embraced soundly through all that is coming.
Regard these words as truth.
Regard them as My truth, and know deep within that when the living God speaks His words of truth,
they shall prevail, they shall prevail in your life, they shall prevail forever!!!

Ride with Me
-----

Come ride with me. Ride in My glory. Ride for the glory that was set before Me.

Come ride with Me, I am riding in full dress and am rideing in victory. Come ride with Me don`
it hold back I will teach you to ride for some would we do not know how to ride but I will teach you what you need to know to be good riders.

There is a battle to be won not the battle as some would think.
Not the battle of Armageddon as some would be calling for.
Not the one that says the end of all. No this is one that is to prepare you for the future ones,
this one is to train you to stand and stand in the face of danger and to stand with Me.

Come ride with Me, for the battle is for the strong and the battle is for those that allow them selfs to become strong
and I will train you to become strong and to become soldiers of a mighty army.

Come ride with for the need to ride is now. The need to ride not for life it self but for the life that is to come.
It is for that reason that I came years ago.It is for that reason that you are called to ride with Me.
That reason is to set the captives free to overcome the enemy (I overcome him on the Cross)
but to many have forgotten that and to many fear for there own lifes.

That is why I say COME RIDE WITH ME.
I will lead you and protect you and train you.
I am The Way the Truth and the Life. COME RIDE WITH ME.

LOVE IN JESUS NAME

THE COUNSEL OF THE LORD SHALL STAND

The counsel of the Lord shall stand. 
Though the peoples gather together with plans in direct challenge to the word of God,
THE COUNSEL OF THE LORD SHALL STAND!  The word that the Lord has spoken and purposed,  He shall bring to pass. 
But the counsel of the nations,  He shall bring to nothing and make the plans of the people of no effect. 
Woe to those who trust in horses and chariots…who put their hope and trust in the arm of flesh and the idols of man. 
Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord. 
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord!!! 
Stand in fear and awe of the Great I AM…for He is zealous for His people and  His righteous deliverance draws near!


[b]Psalm 33:
8Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

9For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

10The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.

11The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

12Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

13The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.

14From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.

15He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.

16There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

17An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.

18Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;

19To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

20Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.

21For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.

22Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.

JESUS:

+       I am coming TO [before I come FOR] My holy remnant [My Church] to dwell in their midst in this hour.
Therefore, wherever there is one, two or more who are gathered together in one accord with the Father's Will [the deepest thoughts and intentions of His Heart] there they shall find me "actively" working in their midst, and so shall the "Spirit of Glory" [Who is also the Spirit of Love, the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation, the Spirit of Holiness etc.] be continually poured forth [both in them and through them].
This will cause every "stronghold" in their midst to be destroyed which, in turn, will cause great liberty and freedom to abound.

Now, this is what the LORD says, the one who created you, O Jacob, and
formed you, O Israel: "Don't be afraid, for I will protect you. I call you
by name, you are mine. Isaiah 43:1 (NET)



I speak to you, members of the e-mail list. I send my words of encouragement
and direction. You may read them, but you do not pray over or process what
I have said for you.

Be encouraged when I speak through to others and into you. Water the word
that it may grow; that you may prosper.

I speak to you of this prophetic school. I hear your many questions. I hear
you cry out. I hear when you ask the "why can't I" questions. I have
answered you. Are you going to reply? Are you going to step forth?

For those who ask for words that penetrate darkness and depression; for you
who ask to release help and encouragement: "Speak forth". You ask to grow
in me, so take that first step. Exercise the faith you have been given.
Release
the words and actions I show you and there will be more.

For you who ask to release healing: It is time to not only pray in the
safety of
your home. It is time to pray with and for hurting people. Ask them and lay
hands
upon the sick. It is time to minster my ways to those in need. Be directed
by my Holy
Spirit and you shall prosper.

I speak to you. Now demonstrate that you hear me. Be my messenger.

Verses for the Times?

These are the seasons of testing,
These are the contests of besting
Men against demons,
God against pretender
These are the reasons for  questing,
These are the handholds for wresting
Treasure from offcast, from humiliation to splendor
The heart of man sees his highest objective
Is winning the prize, the look in God's eyes,
Of Love!

I Found God in WiFi,


This summer, we went on a cruise from Anchorage, Alaska to Vancouver, Canada. Both my husband and I are very "techie," and we noticed quickly, that our cell signals and WiFi connections vanished as soon as we set sail out into the deep, blue sea. Now I know most people can turn off their their cell phones on vacation, but David and I have iPhones and use ours to play games against each other -- games that require an internet connection. So when we sailed close to land, one of us would notice that the the "little bars" were back and jostle the other one so we could get quick access to Facebook, our email, and our latest game stats. Then we'd sigh as we saw our bars slowly disappear as we again sailed away from the nearest cell tower,I was reminded of this when I passed the sign at this great little church down the street from my house; it read:



PRAYER Needs No Internet Connection

During our cruise, David and I would be holding up our cells to find even one bar of signal. Luckily, GOD doesn't need a nearby cell tower to receive our prayers! He doesn't require a Hot Spot, WiFi, Ethernet cable, or Dial-Up Modem. He doesn't even need you to speak OUT LOUD for He can hear your thoughts, desires, lamentations, and prayers from right within your heart and mind.


The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.
Psalms 145:18



Aren't we LUCKY that our God can get to us instantaneously?!
We don't have to wait for a priest, a portal, a telephone, or a WiFi connection!
We can talk, and laugh, and cry, and pray to the Lord of all directly.
And God would not want us to wait until Sunday!
He's available every day, every hour, every minute to each and every person on this Earth.
I don't need to call the cable guy or satellite technician, 
God has time for me NOW and is EAGER to hear from me.

Listen To Me

If you would only come to realize how short a time you are on this earth,
you would seek My face with your whole heart.
I desire so much for you, but you can limit Me.

Some children will listen to their parents, and some will not. At this
time and hour, your best interests are served by listening to Me.
After all, you are only on this earth one time.
There are no second chances to
live over--you need to fulfill My heart's desires for you this time.

What will you choose?
Will you listen to Me, or to the desires of your
own heart? I have your best interests at heart.
The hour is late, and it is time for you to draw near and listen to Me.

SUPPER WITH OUR KING :

Summoned home, the call has sounded,
Bidding a soldier his warfare cease;
And the song of angels resounded,
Welcomes a warrior to eternal peace.
Praise the Lord! from earthly struggles
A comrade has found release.
Death has lost its sting, the grave its victory;
Conflicts and dangers are over;
See him honored in the throne of glory,
Crowned by the hand of Jehovah!

Strife and sorrow over,
The Lord’s true faithful soldier
Has been called to go from the ranks below,
To the conq’ring host above.

Once the sword, but now the scepter,
Once the fight, now the rest and fame,
Broken every earthly fetter,
Now the glory for the cross and shame;
Once the loss of all for Jesus,
But now the eternal gain.
Trials and sorrow here have found their meaning
Mysteries their explanation;
Safe, forever in the sunlight gleaming
Of His eternal salvation.

Touch From The King, by Yolanda Ballard


Just one touch from the King is all that you need to set your life in the right direction, and along with that a dimension of warfare that will never fail.  For when you get a touch from your heavenly Father, you receive a life that is holy and righteous along with prosperity and health, fruit that grows abundantly, and a love that repels the darkness and brings healing to everyone in its path.

I want you to know that you have had this touch from the King when you first became born-again, but that is not all that happened to you.  You became a citizen of this heavenly kingdom of righteousness and peace, but many do not act like they are a true citizen. 
They take their citizenship lightly, and they don’t take a stand and enforce their rights against the enemy of the land and their life in the land.

I tell you this day that you need to rise up, and be strong, and enforce your authority before the enemy robs you of this citizenship. 
If you give him an inch, he will take it all.  Every open door, iniquity, and every open window, curse, that remains open will once and for all rob you of every benefit that you have in the kingdom of God. 
Wake up before it is too late. 
There are bombs that are falling and warfare all around that you don’t see. 
Plans have been made even before the foundation of the earth from the enemy to destroy you and to come against My plan and purpose,
but he cannot succeed in hindering what I have set out to do.

For I have won the war at Calvary. 
For I have paid the price for your victory in this fight for life and death, blessings and curses,
and you need to stay on the side that prevails no matter what price you have to pay. 
What you lose now in this fight does not matter in the long run. 
What you give up now will be returned to you one hundredfold in this life and thereafter.

So I tell you this day to search your heart for any wicked way that would hinder you from entering into My blessings and rewards upon your life.  Watch and pray while there is still time to prepare, for when the door is shut to the wedding supper of the Lamb, that is all the time that is left. 
Be one of those that will sit by My side at My banqueting table where My banner over you is love. 
Be one who overcomes their life even unto death, and reap a reward and a crown that lasts forever. 
And there will come the day when you will bow down, and cast forth your crown before My throne,
and surely you will know that it was worth it all!

For I will say to you, “Good and faithful servant you have been to Me.
Come into My everlasting reward”.

Be Bold!

Be bold, stand tall! Fear not, falter not!
Go! Know who you are; know
whose you are. Throw off the shackles that have held you, you are free!
Allow My plan to prevail; the day is dark, the times are treacherous,
but I have seen and I have known and prepared for it.

Do not slack, and do not be stubbornly obstinate. Do not look back,
but proceed; for I will proceed with you, and you will not be deterred
of detoured. Allow that which I have placed within you to motivate you.

You will succeed, you will have victory, so sanctify yourself to the
truth. Seek the truth, speak the truth. Realize the time, understand
the season. See My plan unfold. Arise, be about your Father's work; as
Jesus did, so you will do.

Set your face like flint.
Flinch not at the onslaught of the enemy.
It is an illusion, for truly the enemy has lost already. Do not
wander aimlessly, but walk with purpose.
Choose, decide, and do not be moved. 

A new time is coming, a new day, when the promises will be seen.
Unlike Abraham, you will see what I have promised come to pass. Come
out from the darkness of your own understanding, walk into the light
of My revelation. Be diligent, be obedient and I will be faithful.

Lift up your face. You are of great value to me.
Do not hang your head in shame or disbelief.
Look into my eyes for there is no need to look away.

There is nothing you can do to change my heart for you.
You have been grafted into my family. Your sin has already been washed away.
Hold your head upright and see where I am guiding you.

Lift up your eyes and look past the horizon. See with a new boldness.
Walk in a new affirmation of whom you are in me. It's time to stop listening
to the distortion the enemy sets before you.

You are victorious. Lift up your face that I might see you.



The LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, "Raise your eyes
now, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and
eastward and westward; for all the land that you see I will give to you and
to your offspring forever.
I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth; so that if one can
count the dust of the earth, your offspring also can be counted.
Rise up, walk through the length and the breadth of the land, for I will
give it to you." Genesis 13:14-17 (NRSV)

    "A Time For Introspection"     
                                                                                 
Yes, My child, this is a day of introspection. A time when each person should be looking within their own hearts, souls and spirits.
A time when all of you should be open to any rebuke I may have toward you. A time to be open  and transparent before Me.
A time to hear Me clearly. A time when you should be allowing Me to show you what is in your hearts that is not pleasing to Me.                                  I love you dearly My children. It is My goal to make each and every one of you like My son Jesus.
You have been made in our image. The image of the one and only True Trinity-The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost.
Don't let anyone tell you anything different. But it does take time to make the necessary changes in your lives to become Christ-like.                            You will struggle through some things because they have become strongholds in your lives, but nothing is impossible for Me.
I will help you if you will allow Me to. You can't do it on your own. You need My help, and I am very willing and able to help you.
It will be a quicker process if you will just surrender it all to Me in the beginning than to keep trying to overcome these things in your own flesh.        Some of you have gone around that same mountain for years.
It is time to get out of the rut and disbelief and keep your eyes on Me.
I am truly your one and only True Source. Let Me prove it to you.
Surrender every area of your lives to Me.
Watch and see what I will do for you.
Stand before Me  and bow down and worship Me in spirit and in truth and see the amazing things that I will do for you My Beloved children.                Now spend time fasting and praying. Ask Me to show you what necessary changes need to be made in your lives.
I will answer you. Don't be afraid My children. I love you! I don't want to hurt you. I want to bless you.
I want to prosper you. I want you to walk in love and obedience and eat of the good of the land that I have provided for you.
Come to Daddy with all of your questions.
Rend out the old heart before Me and let Me replace it with a new converted heart that says"yes" to Me.                                                                    My love is so strong toward you My loved ones. Come spend time with Me.
And after you have fasted and prayed, sit next to Me waiting to hear Me speak to you!
I will speak to you My children if you are willing to listen. Don't hinder Me.
Don't squelch Me. Don't put Me in a box.
Be open to all that I want to share with you My little ones says the Lord your God.

Peace Without Understanding

Peace without understanding is not peace at all. You have to understand
that I am totally in control, else your peace will be short lived and
quite superficial. Peace is a state of the heart, not a state of mind.
You have to dig deep, shoot your roots deep into the soil beneath you,
and stand.

The peace that comes from standing in Me,
no matter what happens, is a lasting one.
This peace is built on trust and not performance. I Am God.
I have said it before and don't mind repeating Myself. I Am God.

When you stand, do not waver.
Do not base your roots on what you see,
but on What you know. I Am Who I Am, I Am God.
I have not abandoned you,nor changed nor rethought My strategy.
My plans stand. Your future is secure.
I Am God, I cannot lie, I will not fail, I cannot repent, I Am
God. Trust, believe, shoot roots in that.
You stand upon "I Am Who I Am,"

nothing else matters child. I Am God!!

Rise Up and Possess Your Land, by Elaine Tavolacci

The Lord is showing me that several of you are delaying yourself from entering in to your Promised Land
because you are looking at the giants in the land.
The Lord says that by doing this you are delaying yourself from the plans and purposes that I have ordained for you.
Just as the twelve men went to spy out the Promise Land, they all agreed that the land was flowing with milk and honey
but yet only two of them came back with a good report because they trusted in Me.
Do not draw back and cower in fear as the ten men did when they observed the giants and seen themselves as grasshoppers in comparison.

Don’t allow your situations to appear larger than My promises and provisions.
Do not see yourself as inadequate but know that you are more than a conqueror and well able to take on any assignment that I have called you to.

Don’t allow the enemy to magnify the difficulties in your life and make then appear unconquerable but be strong and very courageous so that you can fullfill the calling in to what I have called you to do.
Go forth as Joshua and Caleb who said we are well able to possess this land.
Go forth in what I have commissioned you to do.
Never forget that the Covenant that I have with you. Go forth without fear or wavering into the assignment
that I have set out for you to do says the Lord.


[b]Numbers 13: 27 – 33 — Then they told him, and said: “We went to the land where you sent us. It truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. Nevertheless the people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreover we saw the descendants of Anak there. The Amalekites dwell in the land of the South; the Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and along the banks of the Jordan.” Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.” But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.” And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”

I Will Answer

You know the enemy is like a roaring lion seeking to devour. You also
know My Strength, for when you have prayed in faith, believing, and
you have known My power at work.

Trust in Me know in this simple child-like way. The path before you may
seem dark and not lit, but My word is a light to your path and a lamp to
your feet. This is the time to draw upon My word. Draw from knowing that
I have taken you this far and, I will not leave you now!

Call upon Me--each day, each hour. Every minute and every second that
tics on the clock of finite time draws your attention to Me. Know that
I created time, and your times are in My Hands. Know that I will give
you plenty opportunity to know My strength in your weaknesses.

This is a time of darkness, yes. But know that many will say that it is
not dark, that the path is not hard, or that the way is not strewn with
many dangers. Beloved, I say that in this world, you WILL have
tribulation--but fear not! I am with you and My word is within you. My
Spirit is within you. You are hid with Jesus Christ in Me. I am
calling you to walk in the midst of the darkness as a light! As salt.

Shine Beloved of My Heart. Let the world know I am indeed with you.
Call upon Me and I will answer!

I Correct Those Whom I Love, by Teresa Seputis

Child of Mine, I have loved you with an everlasting love. You don’t fully realize what that means. One of the things it means is that My opinion of you is not going to change when you have a bad day or a bad week. You do not need to fear that I will reject you or throw you away during your difficult times. I will not cast you aside and I will not reject you. And I will not stop loving you during those times when I have to correct you.

I will not allow you to remain in a bad place because I love you so much. Child we both know that there will be times when you begin to embrace things that will draw you away from Me. I cannot look the other way and ignore it, nor will I turn My back on you or turn My face away from you. Instead, I will begin to convict you so that I might bring a change in your behavior. If you yield to Me quickly, I will be gentle. But if you resist, I will apply as much pressure as necessary to effect the change in your life.

Child, I do this because I love you so dearly and you are so precious to Me and I cannot bear to have you separated from Me. Have I not said in My word that I chastise those whom I love? What I mean by that is simply — Child I love you too much to allow you to wander into things where you harm yourself or to embrace things that separate you from Me. So when you begin to misstep, I will begin to bring correction. That correction is not intended to punish, it is to set you back on the right course, that you might walk fully in My path and follow in My way.

My correction is not to be feared, for I will be gentle when you are responsive to Me. I am only firm when you resist and rebel. My desire is never to punish you or to cause you pain. It is always to draw you back to where you belong in relationship with Me.

And child, when you respond to Me and turn to Me, I will meet you with My embrace. I will strengthen you as you walk in My ways and I will encourage you and give you peace and joy. It is My desire to bless you, little one. And as you yield and submit to Me, I will draw you closer than you have ever been before and I will shower My blessings upon you.

My plans for you are good and My desires for you are good and it is My will that your joy be full. And just as a father corrects his little ones in love, so I correct My little ones when they begin to wander off course. So, child, do not dismay when you fall under My hand of correction. The reason that I correct you is because I love you so dearly and I do not want you to wander into error. Take heart and know that as you run to Me, My arms will be open wide to receive you. I will not reject you and I will not push you away. Instead I will draw you close andI will shower you in My love and grace and blessings.

So come to Me, child of Mine, with no fear or hesitancy. Come and experience the great love that I have for you. It is My heart to bless you, but I can only release My blessings on you when you are in the center of My will. So allow Me to draw you back to that place, and then choose to remain there with Me. Child, you are precious to Me and I love you.

Cling to Me

My Child, My beloved, have you clung to Me recently? That's right. I
want you to cling to Me as a life raft in an ocean of uncertainties
and burdens. I am your life, therefore cling to Me. Do not seek comfort
and fulfillment anywhere else than to your source of life--Me. I
desire to give life abundant and overflowing with power and joy. But
will you, My child, forsake your idols and other comforts in life in
order to cling onto Me, and unto all I desire to offer you?

Here I am, beloved Child, I stand before you, and I present you with
life and blessings, for you and for your descendents. I love you, My
Child and I long for you to choose life and the many blessings I desire
to offer you. But will you harden your heart as they did in the history
of My Israelite children? Or will you obey My voice and cling to Me with
all your heart, mind and soul?

The idols of this world are all dead, wooden images to be destroyed in
the fire. But look to Me and cling to My Son, Jesus, and He will give
you life abounding and overflowing with living water.

How I love you, beloved child! Come fellowship with Me in Spirit and
in truth. This world has nothing compared to the hope of everlasting
glory that can only be found in Me. Remember the love of God has been
poured out into your heart through the Holy Spirit. Forsake the dead
idols and abound in the life I am offering you.

There is no limit to the fountain which flows from My throne. The more
thirsty you are, the greater the satisfaction you will receive. Only
trust and cling onto Me.

[size=13pt] No Other Can Save, No Other Can Redeem[/size]

    "Turn to Me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I
    am God, and there is no other." -- Isaiah 45:22



I am a compassionate and faithful God, and I will never leave My own.
I am watching over them day and night to keep them from all harm.

Many are the woes of the wicked, but My own will I keep according to My
love for them. The times you are living in are filled with trouble, and
many more testing will be sent upon the earth.
Those who look to Me will be saved for I am able to keep them,
even in the midst of the storm.

My words to you today, are to put your hope in Me, to trust Me to the
end. No other can save you, no other can redeem.
Throw yourself on Me, and find rest for your soul.

WHAT IS GOD SPEAKING TO HIS CHURCH?

1. There is a warning to believers in Jesus Christ to walk in love, greater than ever have before.

2. God is defining and exposing the spirit(s) that have divided His church. Ephesians 6:12

3. Repentance & judgment of leaders in the church & people in His church
(Especially those who expose and judge others, including leaders.)

4. God is promoting His people and His leaders who show great love and great forgiveness.

5. For those who walk in great love and forgiveness and refuse to speak negative of any person on earth
       (any person God has created),God's glory and favor will rest great on their life.
        They show great faith and love by loving the sinner, yet hating sin.

       God is cleaning house and "I want my house swept clean."




  John 14:31
I do only what the Father has instructed Me to do. [I act in full agreement with His orders.

James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.


[b]1 John 3:14
We know that we have passed over out of death into Life by the fact that we love the brethren (our fellow Christians). He who does not love abides (remains, is held and kept continually) in [spiritual] death.

Romans 2:1
THEREFORE YOU have no excuse or defense or justification, O man, whoever you are who judges and condemns another. For in posing as judge and passing sentence on another, you condemn yourself,because you who judge are habitually practicing the very same things[that you censure and denounce].
Judging with our words only exposes our own sin. Knowing that judging brings judgment to our own lives, should be enough to put the fear of God in our hearts, but if we don't trust enough that God will straighten every unjust thing out in the end , then we tend to hold a judgment in our heart. Out of the heart, the mouth speaks. Wait long enough and you will see a man's heart by the words they speak to you.

Proverbs 4:23
Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life.
In everything we do and say, there should be life flowing out of us. We cannot lose the life spring out of our heart.

James 3:11
Does a fountain send forth [simultaneously] from the same opening fresh water and bitter?

Look Forward, Not Back

My children; look forward not back. This I have illustrated in My word,
"No one, having put his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for
the kingdom of God".

The life of enjoying the present, looking toward the future and
discarding the past is what I call you too. Too many are trying to make
forward progress, but still are encumbered by things they cannot seem
to leave behind. Everything in this temporary world will pass away, is
it worth your progress being impeded?

You cannot go two ways at once and you cannot look two ways either. It
is not wise to look one way and try to go another, sooner or later
something is going to get in your forward path and if you do not see
it; it is going to cause you delay and perhaps even pain.

I have called you to a walk of surrender, trusting that I have already
make the way for you to proceed. Trust also that I have blessing for
you along that way.

Don't cling to things that are outdated, obsolete, even detrimental to
you. Don't you see that I have much better for you? As you grow, you
also outgrow some things. You would not in the natural, wear clothing
that no longer fits you, neither should you try to do so in the spirit.
Move on into bigger sizes, bigger blessings. Don't be stuck in what
you are afraid to lose.

I have so much more that is yours for the taking, but you must be
moving forward to apprehend these things. Nothing, no person, no
circumstance, should keep you from what is already yours. When you
empty your hands, it only makes you available to be handed more. I
will not leave you empty-handed.

Just like you are not longer the old man, the old life is not your
life either. Move on, I say, into the fullness of life. In Me and
My plan is the fullness. As Paul said, "lay aside every weight, and
the sin which doth so easily beset you, and run with patience the
race that is set before you".

Yes, look to Me for I am the author and finisher of your faith and of
your life. The purpose of running your race is to see what is waiting
for you at the other end. Paul also said, "Surely you know that many
runners take part in a race, but only one of them wins the prize.
Run, then, in such a way as to win the prize. Every athlete in training
submits to strict discipline, in order to be crowned with a wreath that
will not last; but we do it for one that will last forever. That is why
I run straight for the finish line."

Yes it will take discipline--but are you not a disciple? Do I ask you
to do what I have not already done in Jesus? He is the example of how
to be victorious in this life, and victory is what you also were created
for.

Don't hold on to things, but reach forward to what is already being set
aside for you. You are an eternal being, so don't be bound by earthly
limitations. Eternal things are waiting for you.


Luke 9:62

Heb. 12:1 1Why seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which does so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

Just Receive

I came to give you Life
Won't you just receive it?
I came to heal you
Won't you just believe it?

For when you receive,
you acknowledge the Gift;
empowered,
to move & breathe & live in you.
Light!
Fear is cast out by Love.
Faith is imparted--
to move mountains,
to heal & be healed
to restore as you have been restored,
to prosper & impart,
to love, to know, to honor your Father,
and to know: "I am free by the Blood of the Lamb
and healed by His stripes and filled with His Spirit."

So go ahead, just believe & receive My fullness this very moment.

Arise My Joseph's

We are days of many testing and trials, but fret not, for I am your God.
I am the Alpha and the Omega and in Me, you are more than conquers.
Put on My full armor and go forth, for the battle is not yours, it is
Mine.

I am raising up My Joseph's to go forth and obey My voice. Don't dwell
on your present situation and how it seems in the natural. Stay focused
on Me, and on the task and destiny I have for you, for there will be
much adversaries trying to throw you off the plans I have given you.

Look at the life of Joseph. He was sold as a slave, tempted by the wife
of his master, thrown in prison. He remained faithful and obedient to
Me despite the circumstances. Joseph was like most of you, and I called
and spoke to him. I gave him visions and dreams to set many free from
famine and turn a nation around. Joseph remained steadfast and diligent
to serve Me and to fulfill the plans I had for Him. He remained faithful
My the call, and I used him mightily.

So, My Josephs, don't be discouraged by circumstances. Walk by faith,
knowing I have called you and I am going to use you. Stand firm and
resist every trial every scheme of adversity, and remain focused on Me.
Christianity EtcRe: Nairaland Christian E-Fellowship by grace5: 1:10pm On Sep 07, 2010
I recently asked God for a word to share, I heard him clearly tell me,
"Look beyond what you see."

Open yourself to the potential of my ways. Move beyond what you now know as
possible. Steward what I shall give you and take to those whom I will
direct.

Do not be satisfied with what you initially perceive. I am drawing you into
more;
More of me, more of my grace, more of the pays and ways of salvation.

Open the window so the way of my Spirit may enter. Allow him to blow freely.
He will lead you in my ways. He will direct you past the bounds of knowing.

Look beyond what you now see with the new vision I have given you.



And He said to them, "Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the
feast." And they took it.
When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and
did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water
knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom.
And he said to him, "Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine, and
when the guests have well drunk, then the inferior. You have kept the good
wine until now!" John 2:8-10 (NCV)

I have come to clothe you,
to clothe you within Myself,
to wrap Myself around you in strength and power.
But you, My children, must dress for the battle.

Do you not see that many of you are naked?
Do you not see that many of you are not prepared for battle?
I come to clothe you and prepare you for battle My children.
This battle, this victory ahead, it is Mine.

Yet I am inviting you to stand beside Me,
to show you that victory is yours,
but you must choose to allow Me to clothe you.
I will not take My own into battle naked and unprepared.

Do you see that My fires are preparing you?
Do you see that My fires are burning away
garments not of My own for you?
I will not send My children out in clothes of defeat.

Wrap yourself in Me, stand in My shadow.
Stand in My clothing, My armor for you.
Wrap yourself in My truth, ask My spirit to reveal truth.
Let My righteousness cover your breast, your heart.
Stand with your feet firmly in My peace,
peace from being within My shadow,

Wrap your mind with the knowledge of your salvation,
put on My helmet of salvation
and know that I have come that you might be saved.
Give to Me your hands, hold My sword within your hands,
allow My words to make it living and active.

Come to Me in your faith, the faith which I have given you.
Come and wrap your being in My life.
Come and dress yourself in Me.
If you come in faith, dressed and prepared for battle,
surely you will find Me.
I invite you to come and seek and dress in Me.

This is My battle, My victory,
but if you come prepared,
I will meet you within your faith
and we shall stand side by side,
and you will see My victory revealed.

I do not ask for My children to come alone,
to stand in their own strength,
to win a battle on their own,
but to come to Me in faith wrapped up in Me.

I am faithful to those who are faithful.
I will protect you because you love Me.
Come, believe I will meet you there within your faith.

Come, love Me and wrap yourself in Me
and your enemy will be consumed
under My shadow,
as we walk and move as one
