Bustin’ Through What Blocks

BustingThruWall
May the Lord grant you breakthrough in areas where it appears a roadblock has been thrown up in front of you, in areas where progress has stopped, where getting to resolve or to a goal is now prevented and you have no way through. May the blockage be broken through where you can’t get accomplished what you need to get accomplished.
“Your road won’t be blocked, and you won’t stumble when you run.” (Prov.4:12, CEV)

Reversing Destructive Effects

SunriseTreeHill
What exactly is a redemptive act and what does it look like? Everywhere
there is something destructive there is an opportunity for life, for the
power of the Kingdom (will, rule, authority) of God to be applied to
reverse the destructive effects (Lk.9:56; Jn.10:10; Col.1:13; 1Jn.3:8).

(This is the fourth excerpt from Marty’s article “THY Kingdom Come“ in SEEC Magazine.)


The King and His Kingdom will be preached at KINGDOM CONGRESS 2018  March 7-9 “He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.” (Lk.9:2, KJV)

Delivered From Harassment

WaterfallMan
May the Lord deliver you from every form of harassment and give you peace and take
you beyond the frustrations and delays it caused you, and may He wash off you all the
residue of those experiences as He causes you to triumph.

And why? Because I’m your servant.” (Ps.143:12, Msg)

Jesus Redemptively Confronted Darkness

OrangeSkySun
The “THY” of “Thy Kingdom come” is Redeemer. Redemptive acts serve to bring people out of that which would be destructive. In the Gospels Jesus acted redemptively (Lk.10:9; 11:20) and His disciples/apostles acted in like manner (1Cor.2:4; 4:20; 1Thess.1:5). Jesus brought back from destruction the morally corrupt, the physically depleted and the hopelessly demonized. In the Gospels He redemptively confronted and contradicted darkness both tangibly and intangibly which His disciples/apostles also did in the Book of Acts.

With Scriptural Integrity

BibleGlobeWhen issues are pressed hard upon society through politics and the media, it becomes quite evident who, in the church and outside the church, is faithful to scriptural integrity and who is embracing the mores of the present culture. Issues and those who support or oppose them are polarizing people to take a stand more definitively for or against. But the Word of God on matters never changes position. Those who stand in opposition to the unfailing Word of God do so to their own detriment and find themselves on shifting sand (Matt.7:27).
“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away.” (Matt.24:35, KJV)
“The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.” (Isa.40:8, KJV)
“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” (Heb.13:8, KJV)
“…the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. (Js.1:17b, KJV)

THY Has Redemptive Character

HandReachingDown
The “THY” of “Thy Kingdom come” Has Redemptive Character. If we can call Jehovah God Almighty anything, we can call Him Redeemer. For I know that my Redeemer and Vindicator lives, and at last He [the Last One] will stand upon the earth. (Job 19:25, Amp; also Ps.19:14; 78:35; Isa.41:14; 63:16). His character is continually displayed in redemptive acts of many-layered wisdom (Eph.3:10) and they are displayed through His sons (Eph.3:10).

(This is the second excerpt from Marty’s article “THY Kingdom Come“. Marty will be ministering prophetically
at KINGDOM CONGRESS 2018 March 7-9.)

Right Standing With God

PrayerWhitehouseCruz
May there arise within the heart of America a dissatisfaction and
weariness with unrighteousness and ungodliness and may there
be a turning to the truths of God’s Word, the Bible.

“Uprightness and right standing with God (moral and spiritual
rectitude in every area and relation) elevate a nation, but sin is
a reproach to any people.” (Prov.14:34, Amp)

Forgive And Rest

TwoWalkingTogether
Forgiveness, when wounded, is not based on “deserving” because we don’t want our forgiveness based on deserving!  I will forgive others for being wrong because I want forgiveness when I am wrong.  Matt 6:12, “and forgive us our sins, JUST AS we have forgiven those who have sinned against us.” (TLB) We can then rest in God’s wisdom to handle the matter.  God said vengeance is His, and you can trust Him with it! 

WOUNDS and painful experiences will come, but we can walk out the process of healing and be whole!

Positive Resolve Of Anger

CrutchFreeWe cannot deny we are angry and hurt when someone wounds us; and a desire for revenge is normal, maybe even justifiable.  But neither denial or justifiable revenge is positive resolve of anger.  For example: a husband with a roving eye continually wounds his wife.  She can deny her anger and it will affect her own mind and body eventually.   Or she can feel anything from an inadequate failure to pure rage, (and her feelings are understandable and justifiable).  Forgiveness will probably be the last thing on her mind.  WHY shouldn’t she hurt him in return?  Because His SIN would then CRIPPLE her!  Sin reveals a problem in the sinner – not in those he sins against. Why make His problem her problem?  Whatever other choices she must make in her individual situation, she can ultimately choose to forgive her husband and be released from the cycle of grief and pain.

Function At Peak Level

FatherSonDaughter
May the Lord help each of His sons/daughters to get to the place where they can
function at peak level and release what He has put in them to greatest effect.
And may the display of it take the world by storm, wow the most lauded and
talented, and leave those who wield power in awe at Who the Lord is and what
the Lord has done through His own.

“I will offer You my grateful heart, for I am Your unique creation, filled with
wonder and awe. You have approached even the smallest details with excellence;
Your works are wonderful; I carry this knowledge deep within my soul.” (Ps.139:14, The Voice)

“….They will see Yahweh’s glory, the excellence of our God.” (Isa.35:2b, WEB)

The Spec And Log Principle

LogAndSpec
UNFORGIVENESS is put in perspective in the Spec and Log principle of Matt 7:3, “And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? (NKJ) Unforgiveness is the log which is bigger than the sin (spec) we cannot forgive in someone else.  God asks us which is worse, someone’s sin or our unforgiveness of their sin?  The log is a vivid picture of how blinding unforgiveness can be.  It keeps us from seeing that if we build a prison for someone, we have to stand guard over it.  We are locking ourselves in, building limitations for our own life.  For example, if we don’t forgive someone for rejecting us, we will become blinded by a resident fear of rejection.

Stand On God’s Unchanging Word

RockStandingOn
As the people of God assemble today, may they be taught, reminded,
encouraged, assured that God’s Word is just like Him, “the same yesterday,
today and forever”. May the people of God encourage one another to stand
on His unfailing Word so that as the wind blows and the waves crash, the
house will continue to stand.

The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever.” (Isa.40:8, NKJV)

Word of Knowledge, Word of Wisdom, 06.26.15:

You grandparents are getting healed so that you can hold your grandchildren. And you can bless them. When you are holding those grandchildren you are imparting to them. You are imparting your love, the love of Jesus Christ, you are imparting healing to them. Some of you have grandchildren that need healing. I declare to you that you are gaining strength in your limbs and in your backs so you can hold your children and other grandchildren. For the purposes of impartation and love and healing. Some of you have grandchildren that have gone through some traumas that need more than physical healing. They need inward healing, and you are going to impart that to them…

Resolving Anger

Judge's Bench and gavelHow do we CHANGE and resolve anger?  The first step is HONESTY.   WARNING: our religious mindsets can set us up for defeat, if we believe that being angry is a sin.  If that is the case, the accuser of the brethren delights in keeping us on the witness stand, denying that we are angry.   He has an open and shut case against us and sues for damages.  Sometimes the suit lasts a lifetime!  But the Spirit of God lovingly bids us to get off the witness stand and calls us to the Judge’s (Gen.18:25) chambers to admit the anger.  This might scare everyone in the courtroom, but it will not frighten the Judge. For in the honesty and truth of the Judge’s chambers change begins. Anger and Grief begin to let go of our emotions.

Signals That Anger Is In Residence

CoinFlipBlame and self-pity are big signals that anger is in residence.  BLAME builds a prison of offense and/or condemnation around you.  Forgiveness is the ONLY key to that prison.  We must watch for BLAME in our thinking and our conversations.  “Self-Pity” is a big signal that anger is unresolved:  “I was hurt,” usually justifies anger rather than resolves it.  Just like a person who justifies their actions has not repented of them, rehearsing the hurts is refusing to let go of offense.  It is blocking the CHANGE needed.  Being “hurt” is “tails” and “BLAME”  is “heads” of the same coin.  We can start with “heads” and describe the action of the offender; or cut to the result, “tails,” and describe the offense taken.

The Anger Filter

ColoredLenses
Unresolved anger can become a distorted filter or darkened understanding.  The positive person sees life through rose-colored glasses.  Likewise, the angry, grieving see life through a bitter-lemon-yellow perspective.  Their position and perspective affects their view of self, God, people and situations, and it destroys self-confidence, health, lifestyle and destiny. Unresolved anger can become a generational curse!  It can be passed on as an inheritance.  Sometimes we cannot find the root of anger because it is in a past generation and it will take the Spirit of God to reveal it!

Awaken From Slumber


As the people of God assemble today, may they be
stirred to awaken to the light of Christ who shows them
the path away from fraud and error. May they awaken
from all sense of slumber and not dose at time of opportunity.

“Wake up from your sleep, Climb out of your coffins;
Christ will show you the light!” (Eph. 5:14, Msg)


Release From The Pattern Of Anger

BirdFlyAwayUnresolved anger can become a driving force, a passion, an energy that can seem good and productive, while it undermines like termites until the core of character, integrity, hope and joy of life is eaten away. Unresolved anger can become depression, fear, sickness and even a pattern of failure. I know a young lady whose anger at criticism and injustice as a child kept her grieving. She became a prisoner of her focus. Because she could not take her eyes off of her victimization, she remained a victim, actually positioning herself for more criticism and injustice. Resolving her anger was the release from the pattern.
