Challenged to a New Level

As the people of God assemble today, may they be filled with the fullness of God and challenged to a new level in what our Lord has in His purposes for each member of the Body of Christ, as we stand for our families and as we confront the present climate of culture in our nation.
“May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;  19  And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.  20  Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,” (Eph.3:18-20, KJV)

Character Builds


Zeal can attract people and even hold their devotion for a time. But zeal cannot replace character nor can it substitute for lack of character. Character, not zeal, is the wineskin for the new wine of the new level or the new season of authority. I have seen zealous people split churches and destroy the reputation of a church in a community in a fraction of the time it took to build that reputation. I have seen zeal undo the work of spiritual leadership in a hurting person and drive that person from the church. But character builds, sustains and adds to. It doesn’t take away.
“For Barnabas was a good man [privately and publicly—his godly character benefited both himself and others] and he was full of the Holy Spirit… And a great number of people were brought to the Lord.” (Acts 11:24, Amp)

Keep Out #2

Keep Out! #2 – -May the power of the Word of God and enablement of the Holy Spirit help us keep out tendencies to obsess over difficult people.
“Forget about what’s happened;  don’t keep going over old history.  19  Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand-new…” (Isa.43:18-19a, Msg)

Lift Your Head

200521907-001

May you lift your head, get a deep breath, may your eyes clear and focus and may you walk in the way that is right and enjoy the favor of the Lord.

“For the Lord God is a sun and a safe-covering. The Lord gives favor and honor. He holds back nothing good from those who walk in the way that is right.” (Ps.84:11, NLV)

 


 


Living Stones

stone wallWhen you think about the purpose for your life, how do you think about yourself? We think of ourselves as human, male or female, young or old but have you ever thought of yourself as a living stone? Peter says that each believer is a “living stone” in 1Pe.2:5. That is a designation with purpose. May you see the value of your place as a living stone in the household of God. May you be faithful and augment the local work where God has set you. (1Pe.2:5, Msg) Present yourselves as building stones for the construction of a sanctuary vibrant with life, in which you’ll serve as holy priests offering Christ-approved lives up to God.” We are praying you discover daily that you are a living stone.


God Does Not Produce Junk

God simply does not produce junk. He didn’t create humanity with
junkonly “one shot” to make it a good life, so “you better not mess up” or get
sick in the process or “your life is over”. In fact, God Himself created the
original warranty when Jesus took those stripes on His back (Isa. 53:5 &
1Pe. 2:24). Yeah, that’s right, we have a never ending warranty on us, signed
in blood. This warranty includes, “…all things that pertain unto life
and godliness” (2Pe. 1:3). We have in us what we need right now, at this
moment in time, for ourselves AND for our nation. Dare I even say, for
the world. We have it because we have a relationship with Jesus Christ
which opens us up to be a floodgate of Heaven on earth. It’s only through
relationship that we gain understanding of the covenant. It’s our relationship
with the King of Kings that sharpens and broadens our vision to see
the treasures and promises in His covenant.–Melissa Gabler

Restoration of David’s Tabernacle

(SAM BRASSFIELD is speaking at Kingdom Congress 2017. This is an excerpt from one of his training manuals.)    David’s Key of Authority: Using God’s power with His permission brings absolute victory over the enemies of God.
SamuelAnointDavid
David had the power to overcome all his adversaries, because he was under the authority of his God. Thus he had God’s permission to rule over his enemies, because he was a true worshiper . He exercised this authority in both the spiritual realm and the natural realm. These two worlds are connected. David understood the power and authority that he had in both worlds, the spiritual and the natural realm. If he didn’t first and foremost have authority with God in the spirit realm, he would not have had the power to overcome the enemies in the natural realm. The power given to his enemies came from the demonic or spirit world of Satan and his power was manifested in their worship to the gods of the Philistines and all other enemies of Israel who worshiped Baal and other entities. They worshiped spirit beings, demons, and objects made of stone, wood or the formations in the heavens, all of which were storefronts of Satan. He is behind all idolatry and yet tries to appear as an angel of light in his world of darkness. David had knowledge of this dark spiritual world around him and knew he had authority over them in the name of his God. This word got out quickly that David had such authority. That’s the reason King Saul’s servants called for David to come sing, play his harp and worship his God. They knew when he did, the demons would have to flee from Saul without delay. Now are we seeing the need of the restoration of the Tabernacle of David a little more clearly? We too, like David, must understand our authority in both worlds.

No Longer Servants

FatherProdigalSon The Passover was also important to Jesus because a divine shift was coming to the disciples in their relationship with the Father. In John 15: 15, Jesus told His disciples, “No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you”. The terminology identified a relational shift from that of servant-master to one of son-father. Up to the night of the Passover, the relationship of the disciples to Jesus had been strictly business. However, after the Passover meal, that changed! In the new covenant, the disciples were no longer held by the Father as servants, but sons! That night was a divine appointment that had been in the making before the beginning of time

Revelation for Battles

 In Scripture, we see a rhema revelation coming to the prophet, Elisha. Israel was at Standwithswordwar with Syria. The prophet received revelation about the location of the Syrian army and, of course, this gave the army of Israel advantage in the war. The king of Syria thought there had to be a betrayer in his ranks. (II Kings 6:8-12). This incident and many others inform us that we must not battle our enemies without Holy Ghost strategy released through the rhema word. We must wield His sword in our battles. The Church today needs an understanding of the sword of the Lord and a fresh revelation of the Lord of the sword.(JIM HODGES is speaking at Kingdom Congress 2020 March 5 at 7pm. This is an excerpt from one of his articles.)

Gospel Confronts to Deliver

Before the fall, man was God-conscious and obedient to God. After the fall, man was twistedwireself-conscious and running his own life. Receiving Christ and His government means I no longer run my own life. Apostolic doctrine lays a foundation of Christ in your life (Gal 1:4, “according to the will of our God and Father”), until you are not the focus of your life and you are free of the generation’s perverted and twisted thinking and pressure of being self-conscious. Galatians 1:4 does not say He forgave my sins so I would go to heaven when I die. It is part of the package to have a greater experience with Jesus when we die, but the Gospel of the Kingdom is that our lives have been part of a twisted, perverted, crooked thinking generation and the gospel confronts those mindsets to deliver us out of them.

Season of Standing

Our stance in this season is standing—standing on the truth that our magnificent God is doing something BIG.  He is establishing His plan for 2017 and beyond.  Again, we GET to be a part lookintodistanceof this.  We GET to be a change agent simply by standing.  Yes, YOU have what is needed for this moment.  Now is not the time to throw your hands up.  Now is the time to take a deep breath and watch the glorious show unfolding in the days ahead.  Yes, there will be shockers.  BUT all we need to know is that those shockers are proof that God is shaking what can be shaken (Heb. 12:27-28)!  Thankful to be Your daughter, my King.  “The kingdom of God doesn’t come by counting the days on the calendar. Nor when someone says, ‘Look here!’ or, ‘There it is!’ And why? Because God’s kingdom is already among you.” (Luke 17:21 MSG) It’s time to wake up, and be who we were born to be.  Let’s win this war, as God has intended.

Oil of Joy for Mourning

oil of joyAs the people of God assemble today, may they, like their loving God, comfort those who mourn and surround them and minister to them in such a way that the mourners may receive the oil of joy for mourning. May there be such facilitation that they receive the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness and leave that time of worship and fellowship with lifted heads.
“…To comfort all who mourn, 3 To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;” (Isa.61:2b-3a)


 


A Good Fresh Breeze

windbreezeHave you experienced tiresome things stacking on top of other matters that are also tough to handle, and then a week or two later something else gets stacked up on top of those things? Would a good fresh breeze and a good ol’ deep breath of cool air bring relief to your fevered brow? May the Lord grant you a sudden good break that brings you much needed relief. Proverbs 13:12 (Msg) “Unrelenting disappointment leaves you heartsick, but a sudden good break can turn life around.” You can pray to God Almighty in this very moment and He will hear your heart’s cry. He is the one who has the power to break unrelenting disappointment. We are praying you discover daily that relationship with Jesus Christ is turning your life around.

Our Part in the Next Season

breathe inWhat is our part in this next season? Awareness.  We must remember, at all times: the Kingdom of God is invading this nation. Each one of us has a piece of the Kingdom that penetrates and affects the region around us. We are going to WIN this fight.  Hey, it’s not going to be pretty in the months ahead, but no matter what you see, hear, or face, it has no effect on what God has set in motion.  After all, He has the last word! If you feel worried, afraid, or uneasy that’s your clue you are plugged into the wrong advisors.  You may need to turn the TV off during this season in order to stay plugged into God’s agenda.  Make sure you keep the air cleared in your vicinity.  One great way of doing that is upping your prayer in tongues.  Talk about an air purifier! Speaking in tongues is a beautiful weapon from Heaven for such a time as this.

Solution to the Groaning

EvangelismOnStreetThe most notable apostle in the New Testament said that his goal was to get people to the image of Christ. Our goal is to stop the groaning, not to lay blame for the groaning, not even to come up with programs to handle the groaning. Blame has been laid at the feet of politicians, entertainers and legislators. Perhaps it is time we moved into the image of Christ, demonstrate the risen Christ and stop the groaning. That groan came from God. God put that groaning in creation because He had sons on the way who He would dwell in, who would be the solution to the groaning.

It’s Happening!

eaglegodblessusIt’s happening folks! The intensity you feel right now is an evil agenda being de-throned.  God has not, and will not take His hand off of this nation! We are a blessed people, and we GET to be a part of His Kingdom invasion.  Come. On. Now. “The zeal of the Lord of hosts“ is accomplishing a miraculous transformation in the United States of America.  Does it look like what most of us thought a miraculous transformation would? Probably not.  Does it matter what we thought it should look like? Absolutely not.
