Have you ever had one of those long seasons where fear, anger, grief and loss seem to drown out hope and make the promises of God seem like a mirage?
It may be in those seasons like the only thing to do is block out the world around you as much as you can and go on autopilot.
Then when you finally get to a place where you can relax and have peace you realize that all the relaxing in the world does not take the place of Jesus!
When decisions are made that are totally out of your control and you think that the promises God made will never come to pass. That is when we need to recognize the source of those thoughts, from the pit of hell. It is our responsibility to keep praying, keep trusting God, keep declaring His promises over you and your family. Over your children, their spouses, your grandchildren. Never stop crying out to God for His purposes to be done for His will to be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.
It’s time to shake off those grave clothes! I will never forget a sermon I heard years ago that talked about the grave clothes we walk around in. When Jesus called Lazarus out of the tomb, he told him to Take off those Grave clothes he was wearing. We can walk around with the heaviness that the enemy wants us to stay in but Jesus makes us free, whole and restored. We can asknowledge that the King of Kings and the Lord of Lord’s is still on the throne. He hasn’t stopped believing his promises so we can’t either.
Time to see that Jesus sits on the throne and he has given us the keys of sin and death. He has given us Authority to trample on the enemy. It’s time to get our fight back. It’s time to realize who is the head and who is the tail. We are MORE Than CONQUERORS through Him who loves us and has called us according to His purposes.
Even if we can’t change the choices that we can’t control around us, we can change our thoughts, heart, attitude and response to it. God give us all the strength and courage to see beyond the surface of the problems. Help us to remember that, you take what the enemy meant for evil and turn it for good. Give us your eyes to see with hope that we will see a victory. We will pray with faith and hold on to hope not fear. We align our faith with the word of God. We will silence the lies of the enemy by speaking the word of God to every twisted idea. Turn on the Worship misic and worship your heart out! We will declare the promises of God every day.

Motivated by Faith or Fear?
No matter how crazy it might be – When God calls us to do something we need to be motivated out of faith not fear. The provision will always be there.
In 1 Kings 17 – 19 you will read the historical account of the prophet Elijah. Every time God called him to do something he was provided for. He was fed by Ravens with bread and meat 2 times a day in the desert. A poor Widow who God kept her bin and jar full of flour and oil to feed her son, Elijah and herself till the drought was over. Then Elijah had the world’s best wilderness room service, an Angel waking him up 2 times to eat the food it had prepared for him. That meal gave him enough strength to go 40 days and nights with nothing.
In between all of that were incredible signs of God’s miraculous power and miracles. Fire from heaven to consume an altar, raising the Widow’s son from the dead, declaring a drought has ended, God’s revelation to him on Mount Horeb after he ran from a queen who wanted to take his life.
He definitely did not have a boring life but one that required complete trust and faith in the one true God. Elijah was 100% human. And just like you and me he had a call on his life. He had a gifting, just like we all do. God asked him to do things that were crazy and required faith. Elijah obeyed and God came through. God never let him down and he will never let us down.
We are human but if we have received Christ as our savior and have been filled with the Holy Spirit – we have received HIS power and anointing inside of us! That is what equips us for everything he has called us to do.
Are you ready to do this with Him?
Read 1 Kings 17-19 and let your faith rise in our awesome God!
Emerson had it right! 2017
There is much wisdom in this quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson
“As long as a man stands in his own way, everything seems to be in his way.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
I want this year to be the year that NOTHING STANDS IN OUR WAY FROM ADVANCEMENT in our marriages, families, church body and God’s people all around the world.
Our fears, lack of courage, and doubt in God’s word can prevent us from attaining massive Victories. It’s time to repent and renounce those lies. I am not letting anything hold me back in 2017! Its time for ADVANCEMENT! Time for CLARITY! Time for FAVOR OF PROVISIONS for Big Time Dreams. This is a year when God is blowing the dust off of prophetic words from the past. BUT YOU must be the one to pick them up, read them and declare your alignment with them. We will never be the same after this year! I believe it and I declare it!!
Wait for the Lord
A week of heartbreaking news for many loved ones makes this verse Ring in my soul. God is our hope, our sure foundation. When we are seated in heavenly places with the King of Kings our focus in life must be from God’s perspective down. When we see life through His eyes- THERE IS HOPE. Let the Prince of Peace fill you with His Comfort, Hope and Joy today!
There is a massive firey Title-Wave Coming
A massive title wave is coming, one like I have never seen before. I have seen it building up along the Pacific coast not a typical Tsunami wave but a wave that is twisting and churning and almost like a volcano bright shooting up and spouting off this liquid-fire-water. This wave got bigger and bigger thousands of feet tall, and brighter and brighter and turned and twirled around and spit out bursts of fire-water. It got bigger and bigger and bigger on the coast and then begin to spread starting along the Pacific coast line and across the whole United States.
As it spread it began to not obliterate what it touched but went inside of every home and every church purifying with water-fire the hearts of those in it. After it’s settled, there was like a ring of fire outlining the United States. With pockets of burning places throughout the country.
Those who refused the purifying left the house and the church. The feeling while looking at this huge Tsunami wave before it crashed on the shore was not a feeling of fear but only curiosity and anticipation. There is no fear in love. The purifying fire of a holy God is 100% love. He does not do it out of hatred but out of love. The character of God never changes. Love is of God and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God, he who does not know God does not know love for God is love.
As our ears begin to hear prophetic words by great men and women of God, it is
essentially important that our hearts understand the love of God even when that love is bringing refinement. To some it will seem like a purifying to another who are not filled with the love of God, they will see it as hatred and prejudice.
I cannot tell what the physical aspects of this wave will look like or be. I only know it is going to cause a great purifying of the body of Christ. I have no fear just excitement.
God Purify Our Hearts
Im NOT AFRAID- SHOW ME YOUR GORY
Shake it off – Receive Your Freedom!
Something crazy awesome happened at Destiny Christian Fellowship today. The presence of God was so intense but in the physical you wouldn’t have been able to tell. There is something powerful that takes place when God’s people corporately shake off the burdens that they are not supposed to be carrying depression, weariness, fear and allow God to set them free!! It takes the act of doing something about it, not just sitting back and allowing ourselves to stay in the rut that we may be in.
This morning as I was exhorting the church, God had me ask them corporately to shake off what was consuming them and then shout the shout of victory and declare over their lives what they want freedom of. I’ll tell you what, that church was NOT the same group of people in the last worship song that they were for the beginning of worship. Heather gave a powerful word of when you are in a difficult season to put one foot in front of the other and not give up. Pressing on toward the prize.
Vicki, then shared the confirmation of the word and prophetic act I asked the church to do. It was exactly what Heather and the team were talking about back in Pre-Service prayer. What they were releasing and declaring before the service even started actually physically happened!! That is what happens when you attend a church that allows the Holy Spirit to have freedom to move and release the congregation to use the giftings God has given them. Those gifts did not end with the disciples! Hallelujah!
Then Doris nailed it when she said after communion that we are not taking a big enough bite. That we are satisfied with a trickle when God has a flood for us. Whoa!! That word totally confirmed what God had just told me during our examination time during communion, which by the way Josh Hjertstedt, was one of the most powerful communion services I can remember. The service was then finished by Pastor Ken Callahan’s incredible word that tied together every word shared and encouraged us how to walk in freedom.
Job 14:7-9 ‘At least there is hope for a tree:if it is cut down, it will sprout again,and its new shoots will not fail. Its roots may grow old in the groundand its stump die in the soil, yet at the scent of water it will budand put forth shoots like a plant. ”
AT THE SCENT OF WATER!!! It will sprout again!! Are you desiring to know God in a deeper way? Do you want to know and feel His presence? All you need to do is SHAKE OFF literally the burdens and heaviness you feel. Ask forgiveness and Thank Him for the freedom He paid for on the cross then Receive His love, peace and freedom. One thing I said this morning, to intercessors out there who are carrying burdens that are not theirs. Don’t get God’s burdens confused with your passionate emotions. For Jesus said, “my yoke is easy and my burden is light . Take my yoke upon you and learn of me for I am meek and lowly in heart and you will find rest for your soul! RECEIVE YOUR FREEDOM TODAY!
