Obedience Is Essential
Obedience Is Essential (Kathy)
Obedience is essential to Kingdom life. “Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven.” (Mt7:21) We don’t have the option of doing “churchy stuff” instead of His will. If a father/son relationship exists between us and our God, obedience is going to be in evidence. If we try to do signs and wonders just because we are good little Christians, what we will get is a hernia. We do signs and wonders because Father said, “Do ‘this’” or “Do ‘that’”. It is then that we get Kingdom results. We have to do what Father is doing… in His way and in His time. “So Jesus answered them by saying, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, the Son is able to do nothing of Himself (of His own accord); but He is able to do only what He sees the Father doing, for whatever the Father does is what the Son does in the same way.” (Jn5:19)
This is an excerpt from Kathy’s teaching on “Healing And Signs And Wonders”. She will be teaching Saturday Nov.10, 2012 at Grace International in Willis,TX just north of Conroe. We will also be sharing testimonies of some of the miracles in recent months including three more testimonies of people healed of cancer. There will be teaching, worship, ministry and activation.

Stealth Mode Weapons
Stealth Mode Weapons (Kathy)
Another stealth mode weapon that had long term effect in my life kept me focused on rules instead of relationship until I realized that God is not looking for perfect Christians but sons who will hold firmly to their sonship. Look at the weapon formed against us as the church with the implication that our salvation is based on perfect behavior. That misconception, that our salvation pivots on behavior rather than the cross, is a slap in the face of Christ, yet is widely embraced as though it were the gospel. The cross is the pivot of our salvation. Righteous behavior is a result of centering on the finished works of Christ. The inordinate priority of legal and illegal behavior is a weapon, a religious misbelief that God is grading behavior to measure righteousness. Instead, God is looking for sons who cannot be talked out of their righteousness, sons who will not be manipulated by fear and legalism, sons who will not be robbed by condemnation. A son does not believe more in his ability to fail than in his relationship with his Father. That kind of trust will enable mature sons to take the fuse out of any bomb thrown.
Undetected Weapons
Undetected Weapons (Kathy)
The simple fact that we often do not recognize the weapons unleashed against us can keep us in silence that ends up being passive agreement with hell’s agenda instead of active agreement with God’s promise. Once a weapon is exposed, we can counter it, but some weapons are so embedded in our life that we cannot discern their presence or aim. Recently, I realized how an undetected weapon can stay active in a stealth mode: Knowing that we are sons of God on the earth to represent and activate His government, I now realize that some of my beliefs early on had limitations that were a weapon formed against me, and those limitations have continued in stealth mode through many years. A specific example is that Jesus said while He was on earth to pray the Kingdom come and God’s will be done; so a weapon formed against me was to believe the Kingdom is only a future entity whose government could never be realized in my lifetime on earth. That weapon, that limitation, that confusion, has been successful in keeping God’s government as pie-in-the-sky and ineffectual to generations that did not disagree and lived bound by that misbelief.

Speak Out The NO! (Kathy)
Let him that hath an ear hear. If we truly hear and understand this promise from God in Isaiah 54:15,17 (The Message: “If anyone attacks you, don’t for a moment suppose that I sent them, And if any should attack, nothing will come of it. . . but no weapon that can hurt you has ever been forged. Any accuser who takes you to court will be dismissed as a liar. This is what GOD’s servants can expect. I’ll see to it that everything works out for the best.” GOD’s Decree.”), we will respond. Truth is activated by action to cause results in our life, and the essential action is agreement. Even powerful truth lies dormant as potential until it is activated through our embrace and agreement. The very least we should do when darkness threatens our corner of the world and spews its propaganda is to speak out a resounding NO!
