In His Name Mountains Move

MichelleMountainSunsetAs the people of God assemble today may they hold one another up in prayer and share with one another by exhortation that the mountains of difficulty and impossibility that stand in their way are nothing in the sight of their loving Father and He is a mountain mover. Matt.17:20,TPT—“He told them, “It was because of your lack of faith. I promise you, if you have faith inside of you no bigger than the size of a small mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move away from here and go over there,’ and you will see it move! There is nothing you couldn’t do!

June is For…

THE MONTH OF JUNE
The month of June is for looking and seeing over the top of the hump that stands in the path of our being able to see the next step or the solution to a great need. Ps.3:3,TPT—“But in the depths of my heart I truly know that you, Yahweh, have become my Shield; You take me and surround me with yourself. Your glory covers me continually. You lift high my head.”

God’s Intent for You

MSG No Rival 3-4-18picMelissa — The beauty is you just live your personal Jeremiah 29:11, and watch God.  All you have to do is do what you were born to do, and stop allowing fear to guide your life.  You see, fear makes you think you don’t have anything specific to do, you missed it, you don’t deserve it.  God has an original intent for you personally that is absolutely connected to His original intent for this earth. 

King of the Hill?

Kathy — King Of The Hill? — The problem with strongholds in the soul is that self takes the lead, surrounding itself in a defensive determination, demanding a right to survive. As king of the hill, the banners of NO SUBMISSION and SELF-SUFFICIENCY defy all comers – even God. Soulish determinations, demands, self-justifications and self-sufficiency are the opposite of humbling self; and it is those who humble themselves to God that receive God’s enabling grace, His ability to overcome. (1 Pe 5:5b) “…for God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

God Uses the Impossible

Concerns about jobs and income are at the forefront for most people. At the beginning of the pandemic a couple who own their own business contacted us. They had been very concerned because of the shutdowns and restrictions that would affect their business plus they live in a small town. They had just received a phone call that would insure they had work for several months. They said that it was unconventional because it was not exactly what their company does but because of their expertise, their company would be able to do the work.  I spoke with them last week and was told that they still have more work than they can handle and a relative had to move to their town to help them. One lady told us that she was looking around on the internet and discovered someone owed her money and they paid her. A widow was going through some of her husband’s papers and discovered that he had communicated with a company to buy some of his professional camera equipment. She called them to see if they might still be interested. The man said, “I have been trying to contact your husband because I owe him $450.00! I will send the check today.” Our God is unconventional and, therefore, accomplishes the necessary in unconventional ways. We have heard from several churches that income has actually been up since the pandemic started. Blessed be the name of the Lord that He does not consider the impossibilities His people are up against as being something that can’t be overcome! Yahweh has always used the impossible to glorify His name.

Finding the Path of Deliverance

msg-looking-upMelissa — When we ask the right questions we will find the path of deliverance, healing, and action. When we ask fear-based questions we have already come to the wrong, statistic-based, society-experienced conclusions.  These soulish conclusions make it really hard to hear a Spirit answer.  So, a good place to start asking the right question is to ask the Holy Spirit, “What questions should I be asking about this situation?” He will tell you, and most of the time these questions carry the answer in them.  The right questions are a key to unlock doors and chains.  The right questions give you the right perspective.

Tides and Mountain Strongholds

kg_looking-upKathy — Tides And Mountain Strongholds—Like tides coming and going, there will always be problems. Ps.34:19 “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all.” (NKJ) 1Pet. 4:12 “Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you.” (NIV) It is not life that builds blockages in our hearts and understanding.  It is our reaction to life that causes us to build isolated forts atop high mountains of the soul every time we try to protect ourselves rather than trusting God, or when we try to justify our offenses rather than forgive or repent, or when we try to avoid pain rather than obey God. So God’s goal is to change me to the point that the tides cannot stir the same reactions within me. He desires to equip us so that troubles, afflictions and offenses are confronted with the Word and displaced by the Truth instead of a reactionary blockage or the false strength of a mountain-stronghold I erect in my soul.

God Will Support You

As the people of God assemble today may they build up one another that they not be dismayed by people and MG_Prophesy-1things that seem to attack from out of nowhere. May they be encouraged that Father God is on their side and He is with them and fighting for them. Isa.41:10,GW—“Don’t be afraid, because I am with you. Don’t be intimidated; I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will support you with my victorious right hand.”

Staying The Course

MPG Grace 4-5-20Starting on course is a great deal easier than staying the course. The admirable intentions we begin with may fall prey to the wily snares of unexpected interruptions, self-pity and obligations to family, friends and all of human kind. Starting on course and staying the course may prove to be very costly. But the loss of that which would never be gained is inestimable. 2Tim.4:7,TPT—“I have fought an excellent fight. I have finished my full course with all my might and I’ve kept my heart full of faith.”
