Word submitted for your encouragement By Yolanda Ballard (roarnworship@cfl.rr.com)
TO PRESS IN OR GIVE UP
Today is the day of great challenge for My people for the enemy of your soul is coming forth with great power with the main effort to steal, kill and destroy those who I have called forth to be My ambassadors in this earth. He knows that if he can wear them down spiritually that it will effect their mental, emotional and physical well being. He knows that if he can get them to separate themselves from Me that he can fill them up with all kinds of negative reports.
You need to buckle down and read My word wholeheartedly, not just so you can say that you read it, but so that you can say that you ate it and that it is your life source of your inner being. Yes, this is the day of great challenge to My people that they overcome and be all that I called them to be. Yes, I've called you to be a light in a world of darkness and to proclaim My name and that I came to save lives. Tell them that I came to give abundant life to all who will believe that I AM.
Yes, I AM all that man will ever need for I open the blind eyes so that they can see Truth. I open deaf ears so that they can hear life flowing form the Father as a rushing wind freeing up the captives. For when you receive My grace, many will escape the snare of the fowler as a bird set free from a cage.
For so many are so bound up with lies brought forth from the enemy. They believe every negative report and are full of fear. Others are just deluded to believe that everything is alright and live like there is no tomorrow, and I am talking about the day of judgment when I separate My people from those who will be destroyed.
So I tell you this day to press in deeply into My presence and never give up. Even in the face of danger believe in My faithfulness to set you free. Rejoice for this truly is the latter day, and I am preparing My bride for a great catching away. Yes, it takes deep crying unto deep day after day pressing into My presence. Yes, I tell you this day to never give up. Look past the circumstances and keep My word before you. Keep marching forward for I am giving you the land. Yes, a great inheritance I've given to you because you have remained faithful.
Feed My sheep. Reach out to the lost. Proclaim My Truth alone. Be My ambassadors. Be ready for a great outpour of My Spirit. I keep My word to heal and restore and to bless.
Hold on, My lambs, through the wind and the waves, through all the storms of life, and I surely will lead you by streams of My living water, and enable you to lie down in peaceful pastures. Keep close to Me now and press in for I AM Faithful!

And watch the Lord raise you up! Let Go and Let God! (big recovery quote!) Question? If I let go does this mean I have to trust God? Doesn"t God need my help? Yes! Is the answer to both questions!
Yes In letting go is proof you trust God! Does God need you? Yes! God needs you to have Faith! This is our part!
I say Release Now! Give it to God! And now be free! (I"m talkin to somebody, other than me!) RELEASE! FREEDOM!

I AM The GOOD SHEPHERD
by Jeff Kingshott
Yea! There are tribulations coming that will shake the Earth ,
But this is in order to bring a rebirth ,
To those that truly do not understand ,
I AM the ONE and ONLY GOD of each child , woman and man !
So see in the face of danger what I AM showing you to cling on ,
Is my word and my testimony For I AM your Staff and your Rod ,
So COME ! To THE GOOD SHEPHERD for I care for my sheep ,
And let us stop this repeating and bring in my sheep ,
For to battle needlessly with the adversary is no way to be ,
Just come to me and I shall protect you and set you free ,
For my sheep hear my voice but there are still some ,
That have been left out in the cold and need to be led into the Kingdom ,
For I AM now gathering in all my fold ,
For in these last days I want none left out in the cold ,
So let my love be the gateway you bring them in through ,
And my Testimony that lives in you !
For I AM the Spirit and Savior you now speak of ,
So tend to my sheep and give them my love ,
For to seperate and scatter is not of me ,
For as my word says I delight in the Oil of Unity ,
For it is mixed with one thing that keeps all Life Alive ,
My Blood and my Sacrifice in my Love so come and abide !
For if you look in my word there is only one place to be ,
With Christ Jesus your Savior and Sanctuary . . .
I sensed the Holy Spirit to give me this psalm first !
Psalm 32
Of David. A maskil.
1 Blessed is he
whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.
2 Blessed is the man
whose sin the LORD does not count against him
and in whose spirit is no deceit.
3 When I kept silent,
my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long.
4 For day and night
your hand was heavy upon me;
my strength was sapped
as in the heat of summer.
Selah
5 Then I acknowledged my sin to you
and did not cover up my iniquity.
I said, "I will confess
my transgressions to the LORD "—
and you forgave
the guilt of my sin.
Selah
6 Therefore let everyone who is godly pray to you
while you may be found;
surely when the mighty waters rise,
they will not reach him.
7 You are my hiding place;
you will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance.
Selah
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you and watch over you.
9 Do not be like the horse or the mule,
which have no understanding
but must be controlled by bit and bridle
or they will not come to you.
10 Many are the woes of the wicked,
but the LORD's unfailing love
surrounds the man who trusts in him.
11 Rejoice in the LORD and be glad, you righteous;
sing, all you who are upright in heart!
Psalm 23
A Psalm of David.
1 The LORD is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
3 He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell[a] in the house of the LORD
Foreve r.
John 5
The Healing at the Pool
1Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for a feast of the Jews. 2Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda[a] and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades.
3 PROPHECY: / Daily Prophecy Corner / A BIG WORK by Mary Clark 4/12 on: Today at 06:55:58am
A BIG Work - Mary Clark - April 12, 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 John 2:2 And He – that same Jesus Himself – is the propitiation (the atoning sacrifice) for our sins, and not for ours alone but also for (the sins of) the whole world.
I did a BIG work when I died on that tree for mankind, and all-encompassing work. I want you to think on the miracle that lies therein – in that work, that masterful work of wonder and grace.
I look on mankind with a heart to capture – a heart to love and give the benefits of My great love. I look on mankind with a longing to grace him with My presence. That has been My goal all along, beloved, to grace you with My loving presence. So take these words to heart. Take them deep in your heart. Thank Me for them. They are for you. They are for you to meditate upon. Speak words of thankfulness to Me for this gift. For in so doing, you will greatly benefit, benefit for looking to the One and Only Who gave His life with a willingness that baffles mankind, baffles the devil, but makes My heart glad, glad that I could benefit all mankind with this gift of sacrificial love.
I am a God of love. Let Me repeat those words to you: I am a God of love. There is nothing that I would not have done to capture My own and draw you to Myself – nothing! Bear this in mind in the days ahead. Bear this truth in mind when you see man’s kingdoms topple. Bear this in mind when you see mankind running to and fro, afraid and perplexed with the strangeness of the times. Bear this in mind, beloved, knowing that I once gave My life for you to have inner peace and in order for you to walk with a fixed purpose toward your calling. Bear all of this in mind, knowing that I am a God of love, extreme love, a love that has no end; it is forever extended to those for whom I gave it so willingly, as I hung on that tree. I shed My blood. It flowed freely. It is flowing today, alive and vital toward any heart that will receive it. Receive it and all that it contains, knowing that I gladly let it pour freely in your direction that you might know Me and the essence of My beauty that I offer one who will receive Me.
I am a God of love. Let Me repeat those words: I am a God of the sweetest, purest form of love and I extend that love to you, right in the direction of your heart. Take it. It is for you. It was given for you ages ago in order that you might benefit in this life and into the next. Yes. My blood was poured out for you. It was poured freely in your direction so many years ago. It is still powerful today. It is still flowing today. It was given once, but it still flows. It still flows and flows and flows and the power that lies therein will never diminish.
Think on these words today, beloved: The sacrifice of yesteryear is a sacrifice that was given then and is still given in all its power and wonder for you today, for the whole world today. Take it and receive. Take it and receive with a thankful heart to the sacrificial Lamb Who was slain for the sins of the world, yesterday, today, and forever. Yes! That sacrifice will live on in the hearts of My beloved children forever!!!
4 PROPHECY: / Daily Prophecy Corner / HARSH TRADING by Priscilla Van Sutphin 4/12 on: Today at 06:51:51am
Harsh Trading
April 12th, 2007
Scribe: Priscilla Van Sutphin
I heard the Lord say "harsh trading" and honestly I thought 'oh no'. But asked the Lord what He wanted to say. He then took me first as He usually does to scriptures…
Zeph 1:7-18 NIV Be silent before the Sovereign LORD, for the day of the LORD is near. The LORD has prepared a sacrifice; he has consecrated those he has invited. 8 On the day of the LORD's sacrifice I will punish the princes and the king's sons and all those clad in foreign clothes. 9 On that day I will punish all who avoid stepping on the threshold, who fill the temple of their gods with violence and deceit.
10 "On that day," declares the LORD, "a cry will go up from the Fish Gate, wailing from the New Quarter, and a loud crash from the hills. 11 Wail, you who live in the market district; all your merchants will be wiped out, all who trade with silver will be ruined. 12 At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps and punish those who are complacent, who are like wine left on its dregs, who think, 'The LORD will do nothing, either good or bad.' 13 Their wealth will be plundered, their houses demolished. They will build houses but not live in them; they will plant vineyards but not drink the wine.
14 "The great day of the LORD is near- near and coming quickly. Listen! The cry on the day of the LORD will be bitter, the shouting of the warrior there. 15 That day will be a day of wrath, a day of distress and anguish, a day of trouble and ruin, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness, 16 a day of trumpet and battle cry against the fortified cities and against the corner towers. 17 I will bring distress on the people and they will walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD. Their blood will be poured out like dust and their entrails like filth. 18 Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them on the day of the LORD's wrath. In the fire of his jealousy the whole world will be consumed, for he will make a sudden end of all who live in the earth."
" I want to talk to you about the attitude of some who think I will do nothing about the sin in this world. Do you see the description of the day of the Lord ? Do you really want vengeance beloveds ? Or will you leave it to ME ? You think somehow I am blind to all that is going on in the world and in My church ? Do YOU ? Do you think I am insensitive to your abuses ? You have not acknowledged MY WAYS beloveds when you complain and want vengeance. I AM THE ONE WHO MAKES THE EARTH TURN. IT IS BY MY POWER THAT ANYTHING HAPPENS IN THE EARTH AND IN THE HEAVENS. SO WHY DO YOU THINK THAT I AM SO IMPOTENT ?
Is it not that you don't understand the cross ? - that you don't understand the ways of Your God ? Don't you know that suffering leads to power ? Unless you suffer, you do not develop the CHARACTER to be a vessel that can contain My glory. My glory would destroy you if you abuse it ! Your pride in your revelations could lead you into error and destruction of many others if I don't crush it ! You may NOT walk in glory with pride in your heart. It contaminates everything. A little bit of leaven, leavens the whole lump, remember ? So do not seek anything but ME. Seek MY FACE. SEEK MY RIGHTEOUSNESS, and all these things will be added, that you need to function, and to walk in My glory. I tell you now, that if you don't give up bitterness, criticism, unforgiveness and private vendettas, you will not live out the call on your lives. If you are angry come to ME. I know about anger. I understand your frustrations, and I will help you through it, IF you will bring it to ME, and lay it at the cross." Then the Lord reminded me of something written today, guided by His heart also:
Balance
In our anger and visceral ramblings, we sometimes think we have a right to criticism and judgments. We are to judge with righteous judgment that is true. How many here in America or anywhere else are RIGHTEOUS ? How many have not succumbed to the prince of this world and wanting things or ease from burdens vs true intimacy with the Beloved Son of GOD ? I'm sure there are many, but even if - the word says: "There is NONE RIGHTEOUS". But we have the tendency to think that we are righteous in our human tendency towards pride.
There is such mixture in prophecies coming forth that it is hard to tell the true from the false anymore. Where there is A LOT of mixture in our hearts, and lack of healing, there is often a false word that will slip in and a blurring of boundaries. Truth from a lie becomes distorted where strongholds are still in place in our souls. God for a long time has been saying come closer, spend more time with ME that I can free you. For when we hold ought in our heart against anyone, there is the possibility of distortion. Strongholds are lies we have believed and built upon in our minds the defy the TRUTH of God's Word, and lead to hopelessness and other distortions.
Then I listened again for what He might say…
" I want to pour out My Spirit and I do not want it to destroy you. I have asked you to keep your eyes on ME, to COME TO ME, and to take time to rest in ME, that you might be healed of any deception and impurity of heart. I AM SIFTING YOU BELOVEDS and removing all that would hinder what I want to do in and through you.
But you must listen to the cry of MY HEART, to come and rest in MY ARMS and LET ME TOUCH YOU !
Intimacy is all about letting ME in to the secret places of your heart and allowing ME to restore and heal the places in your heart that are full of pain. It is all about sharing with me the intimate things of your thoughts and heart. And as you do this, I will share with you the intimate things of MY HEART ! But I cannot share with you about things that you have an OPINION about that conflicts with MY TRUTH.
I need you to come to me unashamed, and eager to hear EVERYTHING I have to say to you, no matter how painful or hard it may be. You KNOW that I love you and that love is not conditional. So what have you to fear ? Many of you are blocked up by fear of intimacy, or fear of punishment. I took all the punishment on the cross, so there is nothing for you to fear there. I also am a gentle King and I don't do anything without much patience and understanding.
I am NOT a harsh taskmaster, demanding or cruel. I AM YOUR BELOVED and YOU ARE MINE. So come expecting LOVE to overtake you and fill you and ask for PEACE in your heart. I AM PEACE and I will impart all of it that you need. I will establish BALANCE in your lives so that you know the truth that will set you free ! I will wash away all the religious precepts and lies. I will wash away all the cold love and deception perpetrated by false teachers and liars. I will wash you with oil of myrrh, and perfume you with many heavenly perfumes that will make you pleasant to hear, pleasant to see, pleasant to be with; full of love, grace and mercy, and that will increase your trust in ME."
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.] AMP
2 Tim 4:8 NKJV Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.
Rev 18:21-23 NIV Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a large millstone and threw it into the sea, and said: "With such violence the great city of Babylon will be thrown down, never to be found again. 22 The music of harpists and musicians, flute players and trumpeters, will never be heard in you again. No workman of any trade will ever be found in you again. The sound of a millstone will never be heard in you again. 23 The light of a lamp will never shine in you again. The voice of bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again. Your merchants were the world's great men. By your magic spell all the nations were led astray.

LOVE CHASTENING MORE THAN PRAISES
I am bringing you to the place where you will love the place of chastening more than the praises of men.
You will even ENJOY being corrected! As time progresses, you will be thrilled as you see yourself changing from earthly values to eternal values.
Joyfully, you will not even recognize the person you were before you were born again. Dearest one, be willing to bear all things, believe all things, hope all things and endure all things and allow Me to bring you to the full stature of Myself.
"Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects; Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.” (Job 5:17 NKJ)
"You should know in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so the LORD your God chastens you.” (Deuteronomy 8:5 NKJV)
“And have you entirely forgotten the encouraging words God spoke to you, his children? He said, "My child, don't ignore it when the Lord disciplines you, and don't be discouraged when he corrects you.” (Hebrews 12:5 NLT)

The Star in the Window
Apr 12 2007 03:00AM
During World War I, families with a son in the war would place a star in the window. A man was walking along with his grandson when his grandson asked "Why do all these homes have stars in the windows?" The grandfather explained to the son what the star symbolized.
They walked along and every time they passed a home with a star in the window the boy would smile and clap his hands together. Then the boy pointed up to the sky and pointed to a star. "Look," he said. "God must have given his son too!"
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begottten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)

Be Careful

Apr 12 2007 03:51AM
My people, I call you to repent for taking pleasure in the suffering of those who have been against you. It is simply the result of their sowing and reaping, and you also are not above this law of the harvest. When you hear of the trouble of your enemy it will test your heart to reveal either your compassion or your embitterment. If you find your response to be cynical or harsh, confess your sin and I will forgive you and cleanse you of this unrighteousness, says the Lord. Proverbs 24:17 Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles.

DON'T FORGET TO SMILE
Author Unknown
Apr 12 2007 05:00AM
A little girl walked to and from school daily. Though the weather that morning was questionable and clouds were forming, she made her daily trek to the elementary school. As the afternoon progressed, the winds whipped up, along with thunder and lightning. The mother of the little girl felt concerned that her daughter would be frightened as she walked home from school and she herself feared that the electrical storm might harm her child.
Following the roar of thunder, lightning, like a flaming sword, would
cut through the sky. Full of concern, the mother quickly got into her
car and drove along the route to her child's school. As she did so, she saw her little girl walking along, but at each flash of lightning, the child would stop, look up and smile. Another and another were to follow quickly and with each the little girl would look at the streak of light and smile.
When the mother's car drove up beside the child she lowered the window and called to her, "What are you doing? Why do you keep stopping?"
The child answered, "I am trying to look pretty, God keeps taking my
picture.
May God bless you today as you face the storms that come your way.
And don't forget to SMILE!

AN OPEN HEAVEN!
Diane M. Hale
Apr 12 2007 06:00AM
"Surely the Lord is in this place…How awesome…this is the gate of heaven" [Genesis 28:15]
Surely….surely—it must be so—it is so—Hear the wonderment in the thoughts of Jacob—such was the amazement that a little later Jacob changed the name of the place. He knew that he knew that he knew, God was with Him. Had visited him in the night and the heavens were open with God's Divine favor!
This is the message of the Easter season—heaven has been opened—you have access to the Father through Christ the Son.
Every new beginning which is the name Jacob gave the place—Bethel, meaning new beginning, begins with an open heaven—all the resources of the creator of the universe are yours! Don't turn around, don't go backward to 'Luz' Luz means—almond tree—the place of anointing—keep moving under the cloudless sky of God favor and anointing! Recognize God in your surroundings and move forward.
Jacob's journey was beginning at Bethel—the house of God—God's promise to Jacob and to you is this "I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go… I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you." [Genesis 28:15]
Wherever you find yourself is God's place, it is Bethel—God's house. It's His place of new beginning, His place of blessing and His place of new anointing. . He is as close as the air you breath, in your circumstances and in the situations of your life. What seems old will become fresh and pulsating with life.
Jacob made a vow…"…I will give you a tenth." A vow made upon God's promise hooks itself to the promise—it is a commitment that cannot and will not be denied. God never forgets. [Genesis 31:13] The tithe represents an entire life given and committed to God's plan and purpose.

1 John 3:21-22 "Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God; and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him."

CHILD...
Yes Father?
WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST FEAR?
That You won't restore my mistakes or the way I fall short...
WHAT DOES MY WORD SAY:
Jeremiah 15:9
Therefore, thus says the LORD, "If you return, then I will restore you-- Before Me you will stand; And if you extract the precious from the worthless , You will become My spokesman.
IF YOU RETURN TO ME, NOT IF YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH, NOT IF YOU DO IT RIGHT NEXT TIME, NOT IF YOU LIVE UP TO A STANDARD YOU IMPOSE ON YOURSELF, SIMPLY IF YOU RETURN TO ME...
SO WHY DO YOU SIMPLY NOT BELIEVE WHAT I SAY TO YOU?
I do now Father, forgive me and let me return to You with all my heart!
TELL MY CHILDREN...
Yes, Father... I love You...I thank You...I worship You.
